#I'm assuming but still need a bit of validation x)

[kanpaeki]

Can you do where dominic and the reader have an argument and give each other silent treatment even though they really wanna talk to each other but they’re being petty

i changed it a little bit but i hope this is close enough to what you wanted, i got writer's block like 3 times trying to write this lmao

x

“how many times do i have to say i’m sorry? i couldn’t fucking be there, i don’t know what else to say.”  dominic’s fed up by now, clearly done with the conversation if the flushed face and disgruntled expression is anything to show for.

“are you not getting this? that’s not the problem! but you should’ve talked to me!” and just like him, you're beyond frustrated. he's usually more communicative with you but you had an event that you really wanted him to go with you to and he straight up stood you up, no call, no text, no nothing. and you were furious. he didn't want to talk about it, claiming he was just was busy and with friends and lost track of time but you weren't having it. he needed to understand that he couldn't do that.

"i'm not doing this anymore." he abruptly stands up from his chair at the kitchen table and heads towards the doorway to what you assume is his makeshift home studio.

"where are you going?!" you shout, eyebrows furrowed in anger, "you're not doing what anymore?!"

no answer. he's retreating to the studio.

"dominic david fike."

he pauses.

but then he continues. and he's out of your sight within the next second. you hear the door slam.

you groan, running your hands through your hair. you don't think you've ever fought this bad. he was usually better at letting you know where he was or if he was going to be late, you don't understand why he all of a sudden stopped. it didn't make sense. something was weird. but at this rate, you were never going to find out why. you just wanted to talk to him, you don't even understand how it became a screaming match. sighing, you shake your head. maybe some time would be best for you both.

so you continue the day as normal, given there is quite a heavy and dark rain cloud looming over your head for the remainder of the evening, but you try your best. you get your work done, which was a nice distraction but the second you were done, your mind went back to dominic. so you tried to make dinner. you weren't the best cook but he seemed to enjoy it, especially when you make that one dish he really likes. he might even view it as a peace offering.

“dom? babe?” you call out, “dinner’s ready!” you plate the food at the stove, carrying them to the table. you wait for the telltale sound of a door opening and feet slapping the floor. it never comes.

“dom?” your heart starts to deflate. so maybe this issue was bigger than you thought. you stand there beside the table, watching the steam rise from the two plates. trying not to panic, you wring your hands together. maybe he’s just got his headphones on.

you think about texting him for a minute but you decide just to go knock on the door. if he's got headphones on, he probably won't hear his phone anyway. so up the stairs you go, putting your tail between your legs and knocking on the door. "dommy, dinner's ready. if you want to eat." pressing your lips together, you wait for the door to open.

nothing.

yeah, maybe this was worse than you thought. you give it another knock but still, no answer. resting your forehead on the cool wood, you exhale. usually after an argument, some time apart was all he needed. but it seems like this was going to take a little bit more than you anticipated.

"well, i'll be downstairs if you want to talk about it. i'll put your plate in the fridge." with that, you head back downstairs, thoughts racing through your mind. reaching the table, you just sit there. you don't even feel like eating anymore. you just pick at your food with the fork, frustrated more than anything. you know your feelings were valid, if anything, you should be the one giving him the silent treatment. you were willing to put everything behind you. why wasn't he? god, boys are so infuriating.

you stand up and just decide to wrap your plates and put them in the fridge. you didn't have it in you to eat right now and you're sure he'll be down to eat the second you leave the kitchen and shut yourself in the bedroom. and that you do. without even changing into pajamas, you just slide into the sheets in the darkness, left alone with your thoughts. you hated this silence. usually he was singing, showing you what he made, watching a movie with you, you guys even liked to online shop together. you loved his sense of style. you missed his nose. his cute button nose. you don't even realize you're crying until the feeling of something warm and wet on your nose bothers you enough to wipe it away.

you're half asleep when you hear padding around in the kitchen, socks shuffling on the floor and the sounds of the fridge opening. there's a sigh and muttering. more scuffling. and then it gets closer. you pretend to be asleep right as the door opens.

he seems to pause at the door but then there's a weight shift at the end of the bed as he sits on it. you carefully blink your eyes open, looking at him as he sits by your feet. his elbows rest on his knees and his hands are in his hair. you want to speak up, he looks frustrated but you don't know if you trust your voice after having cried yourself to sleep.

he takes a deep breath before he sits up, "i'm sorry." is all he says before he looks at you with an expression you've never really seen before. "i was trippin', i shouldn't shut down like that. i could've moved things around, i could've been there. i know how important it was to you and i'm sorry. it won't happen again."

you take a deep breath before sitting up, facing him. "i'm sorry i lost my temper. i know your schedule gets unpredictable. but you're right, it meant a lot to me." he nods and leans forward, resting his head on your chest. you run your hands through his messy curls.

"i love you." he murmurs into your chest, kissing you through your shirt. "will you eat with me please?" he looks up at you with shiny eyes and you just nod, smoothing the stray hair away from his cheeks.

he stands up first and you grab his hand as he outstretches it, taking his lead as he heads back to the kitchen. rarely did you ever eat without each other. maybe that's why you lost your appetite before. but sitting at the table with him now, smiling as you eat your dinner's together, all feels right again.

Lucifer's Headcanons!

I decided to write some headcanons for Luci. There will be sfw as well as nsfw ones! I'll might create more, but for now there will be only one part.

Also, I think you could say Lucifer x Reader, because I'm talking about "you" while describing some of his interactions. But most of the time, I think about my self-insert. Just letting you know!

SFW (Some random, but also romantic ones. They are NOT in the order):

Of course, he loves making his little ducks in his workshop, but he can create other things too! I have a feeling that he would make toys for Charlie and also jewellery. He is really creative with them.

He moved in to the hotel and the apple tower is his. I know it's more like prediction for a future season, but it isn't 100% confirmed, so still counts as a headcanon.

He is autistic. Yes, I know he has depression, but for me he is depressed autistic.

If he is around someone he loves (romantically) his tail shows up. It might even wag! Really fast!

And also, his tail would totally hug his lover's leg. And he wouldn't even notice.

He is a little bit more social than he was before. He's still struggling, but visiting more Charlie and helping her with a lot of stuff is still a big step!

When he's sad and alone, he is hugging himself with his wings. He's in wings' town. It's his way to comfort himself.

About wings, he can also do this if his loved one feel sad. He will literally hug with arms and wings. Really comfy.

Also, his feathers are really, REALLY soft. Great for petting. (He loves when someone is petting them)

If you feel sad, he would probably hum a melody or even literally sing for you. As well as playing an instrument, because why not. He can do all of this.

When he was alone, he talked with his clones. They are connected to his thought, so the conversations were interesting. He still sometimes talks with them, but most of the time he's using them for helping him with stuff, like makeup.

He likes to jump in the pile of rubber ducks. It is comforting for him.

He's pansexual. I don't have an explanation for this, I just feel he's so fruity XD

He has dark gray arms AND legs.

He has also hooves.

He is that short, because he actually like this height. He was like that since he was created and it would be really weird for him to change height.

But also! He loves to be carried!

And carry others!

NSFW below! (Time to be more wild, hehe)

First, I want to share my personal favourite nsfw headcanon I created. I've seen that most people assume that he has a dick. And of course, it's valid! Everyone can have their own headcanons, but I decided to think more about his design and what he is. So, he is an angel. Fallen, but still an angel. And he looks like a doll. What I mean to say is that he isn't human. He might look like one, but he doesn't even have ears or nose. So after this analysis, I've thought to give him... nothing! Yes! He is like a doll! He has nothing down here. No dick, no anus, none. BUT, remember everyone that he is a shapeshifter! He can adjust! So even if he doesn't have anything down here, he can create anything he or his partner wants. Dick? Sure! Pussy? Of course! Both? Why not?! Maybe something more crazy, like tentacles? We can go wild as fuck! I love inhuman characters like Lucifer, because you can actually create something really crazy like that! And it makes sense! I mean, think about it! Why angels would need anything down here? It just makes sense that they don't have anything here!

So, as I said, he can create anything he wants, but what is happening with him when he doesn't have anything? I've thought about this too! So, when he doesn't have reproductive organs, few spots on his body are becoming more sensitive when he's horny. They are: Hands, hooves, tail, around his horns, few spots on his wings. If you massage those places, he can have orgasm. It is a little different experience than what we, human can achieve, but it's as intense, if not even more sometimes, as our orgasm.

About horns... if you pull them during sex, he can come just from this. But you have to do this strong! Don't worry, you won't hurt him.

He fucked with his clones for sure. He is the fucking sin of Pride, of course he had to have fun time with himself. But it is kinda like advanced masturbation, because he controls them.

But it also means, that with a partner, he could use his clones, so you could have a literal gangbang with just Lucifer.

He prefers folks with pussies. It is just his personal favourite, but he wouldn't mind if his loved one had different thing! He would eat you anyway.

He is a total switch. He is the literal definition of this. He feels comfortable in being sub, dom, top and bottom.

As a power bottom, he is a little shit, because he is challenging your dominance. He loves it.

I can imagine that in dominant role, he would be really caring or more aggressive, depending what you wanted.

He talks a lot during sex. He would say a lot of dirty things with his deep voice.

He can growl when he is close to the climax.

He has totally a kink that is connected to him being a king.

And also daddy kink. I can totally imagine that he would have this.

His demonic side might appear during sex. He thinks that it's too scary, but if he sees that you like it, he will show it more.

For now it's all! Those are my headcanons, so I hope you had fun reading them!

See ya! ~ Silver

Heaven is a place in hell with you. Pt. 3

Member: San as Hades X Persephone reader

Plot: It is similar to the myth but there are some changes.

Genre: Fluff, Angst, Smut (not in this chapter)

You opened your eyes and looked at your hands at first. You wanted to have a safe reference point and to check if you were okay or you passed away and this was the afterlife. Little did you know...

You glanced upward and saw two men looking at you while keeping a safe distance in order to not scare you any further. One of them had wings and the other didn't but his beauty made it obvious that he was a God. The dark corridor enhanced the shadows that played along his face, the square jaw could cut a finger and his eyes were hooded and black, but deep within them, a softness could be seen. Maybe you were seeing things however, because you'd like his eyes to exceed such softness, you wish this was a God that wouldn't harm you. You didn't really have many powers other than healing. Ironic to say because healing is of great importance. You didn't have the power for great healing, at least not yet, but you didn't have any way to defend yourself or harm others. Not that you'd harm anyone, but the healing powers, were only targeted towards others.

"Are you okay?" The winged man asked and moved a bit closer but the other man grabbed his arm to stop him from moving too close to you.

"I..I think so. Where am I exactly?" You asked, bracing yourself for the upcoming answer.

"Try not to freak out but that's the underworld."

Your eyes grew double in size and you felt very confused.

The other man spoke out this time.

"The lake you saw, is a portal to the underworld. We can see from the inside what's going on and when we saw that...wolf approaching you, we tried to help you out."

All this sounded really nice at first but you grew very suspicious. You didn't have much experience with socializing and that made you feel a bit paranoid by others intentions.

"Why would you help someone you don't know?"

The man was taken aback by the blunt question.

"Why would I let a young girl being killed by a wolf?"

Valid. He had a point. But at the same time this all seemed too good for your fate. You never thought you were lucky. It was strange that luck would bless you during a time you needed it the most.

You stood up because you realized you were still on your knees and gasped. The man looked at you concerned but you shook your head.

"I'm well. My knees felt a bit sore, that's all".

You were smaller than them, which made you even more self conscious. You didn't like feeling exposed, out of your comfort zone.

"Wait..." you extended your arms in an exaggerated way to get their attention.

"If this is the underworld and you are a God, then you are Hades?"

The man smiled and two dimples formed next to his lips.

"How did you figure out I was a God in the first place?"

*I mean look at you*

"I just assumed it based on the fact that you or he opened the portal. One of you is Hades, I'm sure that's you. I've never heard my mistress say you had wings."

Artemis never mentioned how gorgeous he is either.

"Who is your mistress?" He asked.

"Artemis. I'm one of her nymphs." You answered with pride.

The winged man spoke this time.

"It's weird that I don't know you if you're a nymph."

Hades laughed at his friend's statement but you didn't.

"What do you have to do with us?" You said in a defensive way which made Hades eyebrow to raise.

"Nothing. I just have some...friends among you."

"Friends?" You thought it was really strange how this teasing man had friends among you.

"Yes. I'm Thanatos by the way. Just don't tell your mistress about that little confession I made before."

"I won't. She doesn't have to know about any of this. I wasn't supposed to wander that far from home to begin with."

Hades felt a frown appearing on his lips. He didn't know why but he didn't want you to leave so early.

"Before you go, would you like to take a walk with me? I'd like to show you around."

You felt very confused about his proposal. Why would you want a tour around such a dark place? Yes you wanted to explore the world but this wasn't the world of your choice. It felt dark and scary, not much to see or experience. But at the same time you'd never have the opportunity to witness the underworld again.

"Yes. But let's not take too long because Artemis will be looking for me." You said.

Hades smiled at you and Thanatos started feeling rather suspicious. His friend had a wonderful smile but not many reasons to show it off. Today however, his master seemed so smiley that he was gonna form wrinkles around his eyes soon.

"I'm such a bad host. What's your name?" Hades asked.

"Persephone". You responded.

"Such a beautiful name" he said and then muttered a second sentence.

"It suits you well."

"Thank you" you smiled back after the longest time.

"Artemis gave it to me because she thought that it was fitting. It means the one that grows the flowers and since I have healing abilities, it is a true match." You laughed a bit.

"Healing abilities?" Hades' eyebrow was raised again, his signature move when he felt curiosity.

"Yes. I am not that good yet but I do have some abilities to heal others. Mostly plants and flowers, some animals. I'm not that capable to the point that I can heal many creatures but I wanna get there."

"Ah I see. So we are the opossite it seems like..."

Hades said and he gave you his hand for you to take your walk around. You offered it right back at him and a tiny electric shock got through your body.

"Sort of. I am nowhere near as powerful as you are. I feel ashamed to even talk to you to be honest." You looked down defeated.

Hades placed his hand underneath your chin and made you face him.

"Your work is more noble than mine. Power should be measured by the good that you make for others and not by rank. I am more powerful but I'm not helping anyone. Meanwhile you do. Because even a plant can be saved by your hand, while I have the weight of death around me." He said and let go of your chin. You were more than thankful the place was so dark otherwise he'd see how red your cheeks were. Your heart was beating so fast, you were sure his supernatural senses picked up on that. You never thought a God would tell you such a thing. Most of them were very arrogant, you thought. You'd never voice that but deep down you knew they had their fair share of arrogance and bad traits but they were blinded by their power. But he seemed different, almost apologetic for his position. You didn't want him to feel that way. He was the most admirable in your eyes.

"There's beauty in death too. If you think about it, at our core, we aren't that different. Death can heal someone from all their worries and pain and give them the gift of an everlasting sleep. I might keep them alive for a bit longer, but you heal them entirely at the end."

Hades was left speechless and surprised. He never thought anyone, let alone a pretty young nymph, would find anything noble and worthy about him.

"Wow...I never thought anyone would think of me that way. Not even God's consider me equal to them. My brothers probably think of themselves as superior. I don't mind that. I just felt like I was lacking in comparison to them."

Hades couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth. He wasn't one to talk a lot, especially to a stranger. But he couldn't even call you that, it felt to cruel to label a pretty flower like that. You seemed trustworthy to him and this encouraged him to voice his frustration.

"You said ranking doesn't matter, right? So I hope my words of encouragement were as if Hera said them to you." You smiled at him.

They might be even better coming from your mouth, he thought.

"Maybe we should go this way, it's my throne room."

You followed him right behind and made out his silhouette. He was wearing a dark blue chiton that was fasted by a thick belt around his delicate waist. His collarbone was exposed and so were his muscular arms. Truly a God like physique.

He opened the extremely heavy looking door with ease and gestured for you to come inside. The room was large but not as fancy as someone would expect for a throne room to be. A very large throne was at the very center, with some gold fleeks decorating the top parts of it. The shape was long towards the top and it made a triangular shape.

"Wow. It's beautiful."

"It is...what it is. I guess it's majestic enough for me to not complain."

You laughed at his grumpy comment. He was indeed way older than he looked.

"May I ask how do you spend your time here? I guess there aren't many things to do." You asked with eyes full of curiosity.

Hades could feel his heart swelling from the sweetness you were oozing. It's been such a long time since anyone asked for his interests. He felt seen.

"Yes you are right." He chuckled. Damn for such a dark God he sure smiled a lot, you thought.

"I usually keep up with some practical matters that don't take that long. The dead don't put up riots exactly to say the least." His sarcastic dark humor was a prized possession of his wit.

"Other than that, I might see any crazy love struck mortal that come and see me to save their love from my capture. I might call them crazy but I do admire their ability to love. Like in Orpheus' case".

You knew about him. He was an exceptional musician that traveled here to have a second chance in life with his lover, Eurydice. But his longing for her couldn't keep him from taking a look before they made it all the way out and he lost her again. Talk about pain, having to lose the love of your life twice. You sighed after recollecting their story.

Hades sensed that this discussion was too much for you and he tried to change the subject.

"I like to read too. Having a lot of free time is excellent for book lovers."

"What are you reading currently?" You asked.

"A collection of myths. I love how such simple stories can hide a great meaning behind them."

"Mmm." You agreed.

"What about you?" He was the one asking this time.

"There aren't many things I do to be honest. I hunt sometimes with Artemis, although I find the sport cruel and I try to avoid it. I do read a bit but I like to find inspiration elsewhere."

"Elsewhere?" Hades' interest peak. He knew you were a nymph that wasn't supposed to have affairs with men but he felt like that was what you implied right now.

"Right there." You said and pointed at your forehead.

"I travel with my imagination as my vessel. I visit far away lands that I form there based on other peoples descriptions. It's like a mental painting if you will. You can imagine anything your heart desires, from freedom and happiness to love."

"Which one of those has you longing for the most?"

You stared at him because you didn't want to answer such a personal question. If freedom was that, you'd say it without a second thought. But you'd lie if you said so. It was love in your case, and you couldn't be this vulnerable and admit it out loud.

"I guess I don't know yet". Almost a lie, you thought.

"You still got time to figure it out after all."

"Yes. Although some guidance would be nice."

"I'm here if you'd like that. Unlike you I've found what I'm longing for. Now whether I'll have that or not is a different story but at least I know. Our past time activity isn't that different, you see. You paint a mental image written by you, I do so based on other people's words. I guess I'm not ready yet to be as vulnerable as you are. If you take the ink to write your hidden desires, you never know what's gonna come up and scare you."

You never thought of yourself as vulnerable. I guess being that was synonymous with being yourself, so it never felt out of the ordinary. You weren't afraid of your fantasies, you were accepting of them. It wasn't a personal matter entirely, your position in this world didn't let you to be who you wanted to. A nymph that had the privilege to be in Artemis companion had to follow her example and not have any kind of inappropriate relationship with a man. But currently you were in his world, and maybe rules are different now.

"How do you do that?" Hades spoke up putting an end to your train of thoughts.

"How do I do what?"

"How can you make me feel so comfortable around you?"

Oh. That's what he meant. Here comes your crazy heart beat again.

"I don't know. But I've never been told such a thing before. I guess it's my non threatening demeanor or my insignificant existence?"

"Insignificant?" Hades had an almost disgusted look on his face. He didn't like the way you were talking about yourself in the slightest.

"Well...I'm not supposed to be here in the first place. So whatever you're gonna say, I'll keep it a secret because my very own presence here should be a secret. It's also that, I'm a nobody so even if you said something you shouldn't, it won't matter much."

Hades really hated how you labeled yourself. It definitely wasn't that which made him feel comfortable with you.

"It's not that. You seem so pure and trustworthy, like a newborn that has sparkling eyes for everything they discover. When adults see the world it's a mundane ever the same routine but when they're asked questions by little kids, they see everything again for the first time. It gives them a new exciting perspective on things they've already witnessed. I'm not saying this in a demeaning manner if that made you offended. If anything it's very refreshing to talk with someone like you."

"Someone like me?"

Someone so beautiful and pure, he thought.

"Yes. Someone curious for the world around them." His answer didn't voice his thoughts exactly. He was such a coward.

"Thank you for your kind words. I really enjoyed our discussion but I'm afraid I have to leave. Artemis might get worried."

Hades nodded in an understanding manner although he really didn't want to let go yet.

"Hope we'll meet again".

"Maybe we will". You lifted your skirt a bit and moved up the stairs, taking a last look at the lake.

"I hope we will". You whispered.

[p5x-theories]

Imo this new version of Mont fit way much better what i think might be the new art direction toward the metaverse costumes, as i noticed the last 6-7 phantom idols we got, are more focused on their wants/desires than the others, especially the first batch Like, Mont's original design is pretty, but its just a white shirt and shorts with some pizzaz. Yuki's...Lets be honest, is a mess, which it might be done on purpose since her mother is so controlling, but the mix asymmetry, phantom of the opera mask, knight left motive and Japanese style AOA ...Fleuret is wearing a butler costume.

While i sound a bit negative here, im actually really happy that the character design is finding a good footing! Im a huge fan of character design that tell you what a character is about! (I add that Yuki, Mont and Fleuret's design might be leftovers from the first project before p5x became what we know now, so that might be the reason why the look a bit off)

Putting everything else aside for a moment, I have to defend Fleuret, that is not a butler costume. I can sort of see the resemblance if you just quickly glance over him, but to me it is far more reminiscent of a old-fashioned revolutionary (as in, the kind of thing people wore around the era of the Revolutionary War here in the US). I won't say it's a 1:1 match there either, but that's the impression I get, and you can't just come into my inbox and slander my friend Seiji, haha.

Okay, with that out of the way, my answer to this got pretty long, heh, so I'm going to put it under a cut:

I do think this is a bit more of a matter of character analysis, interpretation, and personal taste than you're making it out to be, though your own opinion on each costume is entirely valid (as long as you're not just watering them down, haha)! As an artist and fan of character design myself, and someone who's taken some classes about it, I'd also say I enjoy character designs that represent who they are, but I think there's some nuance to it. And context is really important!

For one, like you said, Yuki (and most likely Fleuret and Mont) was originally designed for Codename: X, made obvious by her featuring on the promotional image for it, haha. Yuki, Fleuret, and Mont's designs feel more like thieves to me, in the way that the original P5 team does, without too many extra bells, whistles, or details compared to how some gacha designs can get. They were meant to be P5 characters, basically, not spinoff characters!

Mont's may seem a bit plain, but it didn't really need to be anything more than what it is. I agree that Yuki's can come across as a bit of a mess at first, but it's actually really grown on me. I think the philosophy here wasn't to tell you what they literally are (ex. Ryuji isn't literally a pirate, he's a former track star, so in the same way, Yukimi's outfit shouldn't be an aspiring lawyer) but to define their will of rebellion visually, in a way that feels like something you could imagine a thief wearing. However you feel about, for instance, Panther's catsuit, it's meant to reflect a thief who uses sex appeal to get what she wants, because that's how the writers chose to visualize Ann's sense of rebellion.

It's the same way here- Mont's outfit works for an ice skating thief, without being too flashy or superfluous, because Mont's not the type of person to be like that. Yuki's outfit seems Phantom of the Opera-themed, for reasons that may have gotten reworked over time, but you can still trace them back to her rebellion against her mother, and with armor because she's meant to be a fighting character that takes hits. Assuming Fleuret is meant to evoke a revolutionary, the ties to rebellion there are obvious, even when we don't have as complete an idea of who he is.

I'll agree that Yuki's AOA finisher doesn't really fit the rest of her theme, but it does fit her character- despite her differences with her mother, it's a complicated relationship, and she still has a fondness for traditional Japanese motifs. In general, I think the perceived messiness of Yuki's entire Metaverse aesthetic reflects a messy, complicated relationship and rebellion.

I suppose Dancer Mont's appearance does fit her desires more directly than the original Mont's does, but in a way that's sort of like saying Summer Tomoko's does too because it's the outfit her job on the beach gave her to wear. Obviously, wearing literally what they wear while fulfilling their desires in the real world is going to more directly represent their desires! But it loses some of the Phantom Thief-y-ness of the original, and that's why it's an alternate version, not a replacement.

Honestly, in my personal opinion, as pretty as Dancer Mont's outfit is, it's way less interesting than a proper Metaverse outfit like the original Mont has. It doesn't tell me anything I don't already know, or give me much of anything new to speculate on. I like a Metaverse outfit that isn't just the obvious choice, which is what Dancer Mont's outfit would be if that were her actual Metaverse outfit rather than an alternate version. Maybe that's why I'm so quick to remind everyone that the Dancer/Summer versions aren't replacements, heh!

And again, in the end, it's partially personal taste. I like character designs that make me think, and give me details to think about, rather than just telling me outright what the character is. But Dancer Mont seems to literally be her performance outfit, in the same way that Summer Motoha and Tomoko wear their literal swimsuits, and that's okay for what they're meant to be! I don't dislike Dancer Mont's outfit, but in my mind, it's certainly no replacement for the original, either.

[sophietv]

What are your thoughts on Kaylor being referred to as "sisters" in all the recent articles? Now, assuming Tree has released this statement, it leaves a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth. Like friends was right there, why couldn't we just refer to them as just friends, doesn't even have to be bffs. And then calling them sisters starts making me doubt if they are together or if this is another attempt to clear Karlie's name considering she still gets so much unnecessary hate.

Maybe I'm overreacting and getting a bit impatient on them finally giving us more Kaylor interactions in any format. But as always keen to hear your interpretation of the articles! :)

P.S. Sorry I wrote an essay, I was meant to stop after the first question but here we are haha

Hi!

I personnally did not take the use of the word Sister like that.

And if you think about it, someone that is as your sister, is closer to you than your friends.

Tree also said in some articles that they are closer than ever. And also talked about plans to be seen together in the future.

I get being impatient. But Like I said in a post I made just before the LA show where Karlie was. (X)

There's a chance that neither Karlie or Taylor comes out.

And we need to be ok with this possibility.

We are already so lucky that they are both sharing their love story with us as they are doing now.

And, even if it would feel exceptionnal to have that validation, especially with all the antis. They don't owe it to us.

This year has already exceeded all of my expectations toward Kaylor public interactions to be honnest.

And I can only hope, that Tree has a plan to clear Karlie's name.

In fact, I'm rooting even more for this than a public reunion. Because the hate she is getting is totally undeserved and out of control.

I hope I answered your questions!

And I really get where you are coming from.

Don't hesitate if you have any other questions!

[pink-strawberry-kissess]

So are the Chris/Leon shippers, even though the two characters are canonically straight, this nonsense is still going on. I'm not homophobic, but it bothers me that people ignore canon

I'm assuming this ask is a partial continuation on the idea that some shippers are "delusional"

"I'm not homophobic, but it bothers me that people ignore canon"

this is homophobic.

now i may have a somewhat unpopular opinion, but i ALWAYS encourage lgbtq ships (if that is what you find more interesting and relatable) sure some lgbtq+ ships are a bit wacky, but lgbtq relationships in media have always struggled to be represented in a respectful manner.

"this nonsense is still going on."

what do you even mean by this.

are people not allowed to like gay ships?

(tangent)

the problem that i have with a majority of the leon x any other white girl in re ships is that there are inherent issues with power structures, age gaps, and the blatant misogyny and racism towards Ada.

I RARELY SEE a Leon x ship/reader, where they do not refer to Ada as something like a racist archetype, or something misogynistic. Ada is often used as a scapegoat for their own poor writing abilities and is pushed to be a "villain" so they can self insert themselves as the good girl, the best girl, the wholesome girl. this is so so damaging and problematic.

to think that i don't like leon x other ships because of the canon isn't the issue here. (although I do use the canon as some backing towards why i do not think other ships are that valid. you can still obviously ship whoever you want. but if you NEED to bash other characters to do so. I do not think you're as pure and wholesome as you think you are.)

chris/leon however, yes deviates from the canon, but the canon isn't an issue for me.

lgbtq representation will over supercide canon for me. and we need to get rid of this narrative that everyone is automatically straight.

gay people exist and will always exist. period

2 and 25? 😁

2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

oh no my only weakness... i have to be real every single ship i write i imagine switchy. so take this as a "in certain circumstances" kind of thing. i have written fic that contradicts both of these. it'll be compelling (hopefully) but honestly i don't know if i'll believe it. buuut. maedhros is absolutely a control freak that doesn't like being vulnerable, and sleeping with people is already toeing the line a little bit too much. i wrote enemy of good in part about his control issues in bed and i think that fic kind of captures my headcanons about his general vulnerability issues. i'm working on a longer fic about him experimenting with trauma through kink, and the rush that having power over people gives him -- so i lean towards "maedhros has to be in a very good mental state to bottom, which, considering that he wouldn't recognize a good mental state if bit him in the ass, means he doesn't really bottom." also hmmm. miriel is equally a control freak in my mind's eye. she will bottom but she will never stop bossing her partners around. she has an artistic vision for this sexual encounter please stop interrupting her creative process with your leg cramps 25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing oh man I do not know if I have a good answer for this. here are two weird ones i know that banning a language is a shitty move but i feel like. the level at which people talk about thingol is a person for banning quenya among his people is weirdly disproportionate to the action, especially considering it was prompted by him finding out he was lied to about the deaths of his own people. like it feels like people assign that action a worse moral value than all the murder. that being said that is such a feanorian assessment of morality i do kind of loop back around to admiring it. i'm also reaaallly over hearing arguments about what tolkien intended or wanted in terms of shipping (i think it's still an interesting question when we interpret some other parts of the text!). "tolkien was a catholic who would have hated your gay ships" has weirdly managed to make it on my dash several times and that is obviously the worst one. but i also kind of find the argument of "no i promise tolkien actually made x ship gay on purpose" kind of... tinfoil hat-y? i've never been convinced by them. and honestly, i don't really like the whole framework of applying authorial intent to ships. my current #1 favorite ship for the fandom was absolutely, 110% not intended, but i just... don't need jirt's permission or intention in this. i feel like the arguments about whether something like russingon or turleg (two ships i really like, mind you!) were intended by canon kind of imply that they would be less valid if they were not?

i have no idea if this makes sense & i do actually find the queer readings/analysis very interesting. but if anything i generally tend to assume that they leaked into tolkien from the (secretly queerer than we assume?) fairytales/myths/epics he was inspired by rather than being there by design. i feel like we can point out things like "hey, x plotline mirrors a romance" without needing to necessarily say "tolkien intended this and meant to hide gay stuff in his works." like i'm just over needing that old man's permission or intent.

this has been the rambliest response yet and i hope it's entertaining/coherent lmao. thank you for your ask!!

[primewritessmut]

1, 2, 5, 12, 31, and 38

I totally was going to do this during my training but the forty gallons of perfume lady but me under for several days. So instead, here it is now.

Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

Seeing the Other. I think regardless of what genre I find myself in, there's always a component of that. The joy and tragedy of being seen, fully seen, for who/what you are and being loved or hated (sometimes both!) accordingly.

I don't know if I really have any other comfort zones. But that's almost definitely me having a blind spot to my own writing.

2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

The You've Got Mail trope!

I think I've mentioned this before but I FUCKING LOVE that trope and I've been dying to give it an actual go. I haven't really been able to find a fandom or situation in which I can envision it going the way I want it to, yet. But someday. Maybe.

Or, you know, I'll just have to do it as an original work.

5. Share one of your strengths.

I'll be honest. I am in a place where I am not feeling my strengths at the moment. Everything feels like splinters underneath my fingernails all the time. Which I think is normal and valid for any type of artist. So for this question, I'm giving you a resounding fuck you.

I'm good at trust falling into a story. Just knowing that I'll figure it out as I go along and not feeling like I need to know everything (or really anything) before starting to write.

12. Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

An episode of what? My life? A show? A podcast?

I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're asking me about Loki since you and I scream at each other about that literally every day. And, while I am a S1:E1 enjoyer like yourself, my favorite (and most inspiring) episode is S2:E1. There's a barrier that falls down between Mobius and Loki in that episode, primarily because I think Loki starts to realize that, in all this absolutely Time Slipping bullshit, he keeps going back to Mobius. All the way up to LITERALLY colliding with him near the end. (TWICE.)

31. Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?

I never intend to take liberties with canon. But most of the fandoms I write for are comic fandoms first and foremost (with some movies thrown in) and there's SO MANY goddamn comics. I'm not trying to spend all my writing time lining up all the bits of canon. I'd never write.

Also, there is not way in hell that I'm letting canon get in the way of a good story.

Basically, I try not to stray too far from "accepted" canon, but it's also not tying me down.

38. Talk about a review that made your day.

Uh… all of yours? When I’m yelling “YOU GET IT” at your comments.

Other than that, I have a terrible memory so specific reviews aren’t always something I can recall. However, there are two FLAVORS of review I enjoy a lot. One is the “I think I just discovered a new kink” review which is maybe a bit odd because I typically do not want people infodumping their kinks into my comment section. BUT to hit someone where they live like that? With something I’ve written? It’s pretty cool. Second, the ones that are essentially “wow this was disgusting, but I loved it anyway, I find it all reprehensible but I read to the end.” Sort of the opposite of the first type of comment, I think. That my work repelled someone and they still had to finish it? Deep emotions in both sides. That means I did something right.

[ursbearhug]

A strange white person (badge of shame lmfao) rambling caused by comment section of a video;

So obviously there is not an ounce of any other race than white in me. And I'm sure even if my mom, who let's be clear is still doing her dandest, was any more successful with tracking the lineage of either of her family trees I'm beyond certain that at best the family would be different mixture of slavic people, or maybe, mix of otherwise european (idk?) fractions; all of them explicably white. Thing that I'm saying that continuously pisses off certain sub group of leftists, is that my country and motherland has very weak understanding of racism purely because it has 0 colonial history and while other European countries were preoccupied with colonisation, it was either chilling or actively trying to sink itself. This obviously is not an attempt at exonerate or absolve of the guilt of, sadly, very often being racist. But I think it is something to consider why exactly it struggles with understanding what actions are racist and why exactly are they racist. Though, of course, you'd assume a body that is almost 1100 years old would put a little bit more effort into learning.

I've always found learning about cultures that aren't mine fascinating and as I grow older I find the indigenous people and their culture and stories more and more fascinating. Thus I see why their stories seek to be told, as they should be, and why sometimes there is a want to read them. Because white people always been like 'ooh, so exotic' all the way back to ancient greece. I also see how some people would rather take the praise of telling these stories themselves, rather than, letting the very people they belong to do that. Especially in the year of our God 2024 in 21st century when the racial card is constantly used for the 'benefits'; whether it be social leverage in a slap fight on twitter dot com or when they try to get their publishing deal. Of course it is always about unseen, intangible and famed benefits of being a different race, never about the struggles. Sure, it is extremely easy to put on blackface and act as if you shat gold with your half assed, literal shit, experiment and journalism, and forget that black folks cannot, in fact, just take their skin off when it no longer suits them.

So reading comments from different tribes of indigenous people, I don't know, competing? Arguing? Contesting? About the validity of their indigeneity is somehow strange experience. Not because 'huh, who could have guessed that race and belonging is nuanced' but because some of them seem to genuinely struggle with their non whiteness or their mixed heritage or, most interesting, what does it really mean to be indigenous. Why different tribes have different requirements to prove whether an individual is of this tribe or not? Why some of them are really just a bunch of sometimes impossible paper work and some of them are trying to prove their validity with blood or genealogy. Some point out that despite being enrolled into particular tribe they're not exactly any more [tribe name] than their peers who are not enrolled or vice versa. And I had no idea that the conversation within these groups can be so vast. I knew of the conversations about mixed asian or black or latino folk and how sometimes there is the conflict of 'am I X enough?' or 'why am I being treated racistily despite my best attempts to fit in with white folk?'. Wondering if they're asian enough to complain back in 2020 or having to defend their black heritage when they act or don't act 'black enough' whatever that even means. But seeing tribal people talking about or even arguing over the rules of belonging and not belonging is truly fascinating. I wonder if I can scrounge up some time to look into it further.

As a ending note, I'd like to remind that despite not liking Yellowface by RF Kuang, I feel the need to point out it is not, in fact, tutorial or how to guide, Zeus Almighty.

[kiragecko]

I've had situations where I WANTED to stop acting out my hate for things, but found it really hard. And I found it could be helpful to figure out what I was gaining from my hate.

Hating stuff is FINE. This is NOT ADVICE FOR FIGURING OUT IF YOUR HATE IS 'VALID'! It's already valid, you'd don't need permission. This is only for situations where you suspect that you might be making fandom a bit more toxic for other people, but don't know how to stop. Where you aren't enjoying the experience of hating, but find yourself doing it anyways.

There are some extremely valuable things to be gained from hating a character or franchise. Some that I've experienced are:

it's a safe target. I used to repress all my anger. I'd empathize with EVERYONE in ways that invalidated my own feelings. Hating Colossus and Angel (from the X-Men) was a way for me to practice anger and dislike without hurting anyone real.

I need my experience validated. Sometimes I'll want to rant about how much I hate some event or character because something resonant happened in my life and I'm insecure about whether people will support me through it. It's a lot safer to talk about the fictional event than the real one, and hurts slightly less if people brush it off.

I need to defend myself. I DESPISE books that involve a quirky (usually female) character being taught how to fit in with the people around them. Because too many people assumed my happy ending was learning how to get rid of all the traits that made them uncomfortable so they'd be willing to accept me. Every time I observe someone talking about a story like that, staying silent feels like betraying myself. Saying I hate the story feels like refusing to be complicit in my own suffering again.

safety is never a given. There are things I'd love to talk about, but that only work if the audience is receptive. And I know the topic is divisive. Expressing hate can act as a litmus test - the way people respond to certain topics can predict how they'll respond to others. If most people agree or are relaxed about it, I might be okay to bring the more important thing in.

hate is simple. Some stories are really complex and require a lot of nuance and perspective taking. It's a relief to be able to insult The Draco (an extremely stupid X-Men arc) after a day of reading complex and ambiguous discussions about disability and representation. The Draco is bad. There are no conflicting access needs here. I just get a break!¹

Once I realized WHY I was attached to my performative hate, it was much easier to chose when I acted it out. And to find other ways to get those needs met. I've mostly grown out of my need to safely practice anger, or get a litmus test before bringing out a topic. I've mostly found other ways to validate my experience and defend myself.

But I still relax through the simplicity of performative hate sometimes. I just usually include a disclaimer, and don't tag it in ways that will put it on fans' dashes.

-

¹ There are probably redeeming qualities to The Draco. I haven't read it since the early 2000s. I'm fine with other people enjoying it. But I don't want to hear about any redeeming qualities, because hating it is FUN.

I do wanna say without derailing the other post that there are, absolutely, books and TV series and movies out there, including adaptations of things I love, that I hate. No nuance, no complex relationship, no I-hate-this-but-I-love-that, I just think they're terrible, sometimes for reasons of genuine objective badness and sometimes for reasons of my personal taste and often for a mix of both. And I certainly have complained, and will in future complain, about these things both to my friends and in public.

What I don't do is make hating those things a long-term lynchpin of my fannish experience, because...I hate them, so I do not wish to spend time thinking about them. Yeah, it's satisfying to know other people feel the same way I do, but once we've established that then what else is there to talk about? There's joy in a good Fisking, to be sure, but that requires extended and thoughtful engagement with the thing (that I hate) and even, I would argue, a measure of affection for what it could be in other circumstances.

Cultivate profound indifference to the stuff you hate. Cultivate happiness within yourself for the people who don't hate it, having fun over there. Cultivate the ability to exorcise your demons in the group chat and then let it go. I promise, with all my heart, it makes fannish life a hell of a lot nicer.

[fantomette22]

Hey, you need to remember that many ships that Exist have not been hinted at in canon - someone one day just "invented" them and other people joined! x) You do not really need community for the ship or pre-existing works, it just feels way more nice and validating if other people are into it too. Like... I for one do not get the attitude that shipping something no one else shipped yet is somehow 'awkward' if not 'cringe'. Questions like 'omg this ship is REAL?' don't make sense either... like, every ship exists as a possible scenario, for example Valtr x Eileen is as 'real' as Valtr x Yamamura, whether someone created stuff for it or not yet is not relevant. Be a trend starter! You might stay alone in this boat, yeah, but you ALSO might get other people into shipping it too, when they see how much fun YOU have talking about this ship or drawing/writing for it. Because they'll wanna have fun too! Be the change you want to see!

(Naturally I am curious what rareship you refered to x) You gotta tell us now dfhhsds I mean if you are comfortable sharing)

You're right and I 100% agree with what you just say!

It's just it's kinda the first time that this happened to me ? or at least the first time I fully realize it. That I was probably the first one who thought about this particular ship? ... but who knows. (I was tired too XD)

To talk a bit about my life, I don't really have that much ships. (even across all the fandoms I have and all, but it's something I really like as well). Of course there's plenty I found cool but only a handful of ships I like really hard/i'm really invested in (not sure if that's an aro/ace thing too lol) (half of the time it's really popular and the other half it's quite rare and except the weird stuff you can find at time I like this particulars ship so much I'm taking almost every content I can found!)

So for all the others I generally have a scale that goes from :

(my eyes!) ew not my thing ->...-> I don't really care/neutral->...-> oh that's valid/ cool-> oh that's cute (-> ship them so hard I'm taking almost ANYTHING XD)

So for Bloodborne now... that's subject is not really the focus of the game too (an I really like that aspect) but yes there's quite a few I "like" or found cool but only like 1 I'm super invest in ?

(Some people here might know who I might reference XD One day I need to actually seriously talk about it... I guess when I will just not care anymore or if someone nicely push me... I know the mutuals I got here are super encouraging about it too x) The problem, it's that I have so much different interpretations of this relationship at the same time I'm afraid it's weird (that create more than 2 AU and one character became like 2 different idk ...)

And recently I thought about another one... so hm on my last post I was basically thinking about Dores x Gate Keeper...

So who wanna join my lil boat ? XD I'm gonna develop a bit here too :

I know we don't know much about them but for me it just makes a lot of sense I guess? I don't know I just think they would be cute. (And it's funny and drama... and really sad at some point too...) Not too serious into it but cool background/minor ship

In the grave guard set description they don't just talk about Dores but about mr Gate keeper as well (and we know other people become mad because in the dungeons but it's only referencing this 2!)

They became mad like... Together ?! They might have done the most of their expedition together as well. Perhaps they help each other with their issues...they probably got the same problems at the same time and the only who could fully understand what one feel was the other... And they both stick with Willem in the end.

I begin to imagined quite a few headcanons about them too. Because well I needed that to prepare my big bb story x) especially the first part at Byrgenwerth.

I do believe in badass young middle aged (+older) woman Dores supremacy. Who is really feral, can kick& punch Pthumerians with only her bare fist. (Willem know he was right to got her by their side, Gehrman is impressed, Liam (the name I choose for mr password gate keeper) is so in love and encouraging and Laurence is just really concerned XD).

If she likes you that's great she gonna scared whoever is mean to you in the best case. If she don't... well hope you don't see her often... For Gate keeper he's usually you know, the "calm and collected one", the guy who was raised in Yharnam and didn't spend all his childhood in like... the forest... But if he needs he's not afraid to shoot people with a shotgun (especially mad pthumerians). And this 2, after Willem, act like the parents of the Byrgenwerth squad/gang at times ? (yes even Gehrman who is just a bit younger than them XD but this trio guys I swear... so much potential)

If I remember correctly there's indeed a moment where I begin to consider them as a ship...it begins when I decided to re take a look how/where you found the graveguard set.

The set is divided between the corpse of two hunters? (who appeared in the game with the yharnam's hunter set, but like the member of the church got the default black church attire in the overworld so...).

One have the mask and the other the rest of the set (I took the first pic I could find on YouTube too). They're really close, but you can't access to the mask directly after you got the rest of the set.

And well obliviously you can wonder why this two have it? They're not Dores right? They might have take her(/their/his) role after she passed away I guess? but who are they really ? (it's highly possible it's just some hunter from Ludwig era or after, who stick with Byrgenwerth or in the lost wood/villagers for some reason or that Dores took in to help and taught them stuff ^^ it's a cute idea but I got another...)

I begin to wonder, what if... what if... this 2 are like her children/grandchildren ?? (depending on their age and this dumb timeline... also if they're the grand kids who could be the kid(s)? Well the Madras twins need to come from somewhere right? hm forget it...I'm not even settle on this they could just be friends) So um... I figure it could be cool if the other parent was like... gate keeper... 😵‍💫

Yesterday in between the G&M hugs, group hugs & the crows I draw this too ^^

(My designs for them are like there and there too...)

[olderthannetfic]

Hi ! I just want to ask for some advice about archiving an old livejournal fic collection I found from my fandom. I really want to move it all to AO3 to preserve these stories, since it's been untouched for years and years and years, but I'm wondering how to go about it. Should I just start? Or should I try to find and contact the authors first? I'm hesitant to archive / move fics without permission, but it's so old I have no idea how to find all these authors. And is it even a good idea to move it to AO3 or should I just leave it?

Any advice would be really appreciated !

--

Okay, first thing to be aware of is that AO3 only allows you to archive other people's fics if you are the owner of an archive and you are moving the archive to AO3.

Basically, they gave you permission to host their works before, and AO3 feels that transferring the archive to AO3 is like moving from one hosting service to another, not like a completely new and different archive, so the permission is still valid. (Though, of course, they make an effort to contact the writers, and if they want to delete their stuff from AO3, that's their right.)

--

But that doesn't mean you should give up on preserving these fics!

Your three big options are:

Download everything and keep a personal copy for yourself (useful if these are locked posts)

Put links to public works on the wayback machine

Try to contact the authors and ask if they'd be willing to post to AO3

--

I assume that you're looking at a Livejournal community and the fics posted to it?

Fandom moved to LJ a little bit in 2002 and in a big wave in 2003 (when you no longer needed an invite). LJ remained big until around 2010 with some trailing years of pretty heavy activity.

I realize that that might seem like a very long time ago to you, but it's honestly pretty recent in terms of fandom's history.

The majority of highly active people I knew on LJ got Dreamwidth accounts under the same name and may have the occasional post there even in the 2020s. A lot of them were in their 20s or 30s when they got an LJ and are now in their 40s or 50s. So, sure, some left fandom and a few may have died, but we're not looking at a population that is overwhelmingly dead of old age, you know? You can probably still track down a lot of people.

The first step would be to look at the info/profile page and see who the owners were. You can also click through to the profile pages of any accounts whose posts you're hoping to preserve. They may list what social media they went to after LJ.

Check Dreamwidth under the same names. If there's an identically named account and the profile page looks similar, it's likely to be the same person. Both LJ and DW have a PM function if you're signed in.

LJ people built AO3 and its early adopters are from there. There's a decent chance a bunch of these people were able to snag the very same name on AO3, so do a user search there. Their AO3 profiles if they've filled them out, their icon, and whatever they've posted will give you a clue if it's the same fan.

You can also do a general site search on Dreamwidth (which will catch many old imported posts that were once on LJ) for each username you want to investigate. You can often find people going "What ever happened to X?" and someone replying.

--

You should also ask Olds on here.

For starters, what's the fandom, @noelleidle? What's the community you'd like to preserve? (Or links list or whatever it is?) I might even know some of these people personally.

LJ fandom wasn't like modern fandom on twitter or something: we're talking thousands of people, not millions and millions, and many of us were only a few degrees of separation apart.

The Only Logical Response

Loki x Reader (a bit of Bucky x Reader)

Summery: Loki goes with the only logical response to Bucky attempting to flirt with Y/N

Note: I'm using he/they for Loki

Loki finally had convinced himself that he was going to ask out Y/N after all the two had been becoming quite close and the way that they made him feel made his heart soar. He could only hope that they felt the same way.

Loki had been hyping themselves up in the mirror for a solid week now, knowing damn well that they would not be able to go to Thor or the other avengers at risk of being made fun of or his secret crush being spilled.

Today was finally the day though, Loki was going to ask them to dinner and and a movie, (their ideal first date as they told him). Loki was making their way to the compounds lounge where he assumed Y/N was. He was full of confidence the adrenaline from his morning training still in their system keeping them from backing out, but he soon stopped in his tracks when all of a sudden he heard the wondrous laugh that belonged to Y/N coming from Bucky's room.

He didn't see much of what was going on choosing to respect Bucky's privacy as much as possible, but he could hear the charm coming from Bucky's every word and with Y/N's contagious laugh that they have making its way through the hall he just knew he was utterly fucked.

That is until a white little kitten escaped through the slightly opened door. Y/N came dashing out first attempting to scoop up the cat but Loki was able to grab the little white fur ball before she could escape further.

"Hi Loki!" Y/N smiled.

"Hello Y/N, how are you?"

"I'm good! Bucky was just introducing me to his new cat! Isn't she so cute!" Y/N gushed at the little kitty still in Loki's arms. Bucky showed up behind Y/N shortly after grabbing the cat from Loki's arms.

"Thanks for grabbing her, this is Alpine," Bucky said with slight irritation in his voice at the intrusion of Loki, "I know how much Y/N loves cats so I just had to introduce them, the two of us are going to have breakfast with this little furball at this cat cafe I found." Bucky said clearly rubbing it in Loki's face that he got Y/N first.

But Bucky's satisfied smirk soon dropped as quickly as it came when Y/N said, "You should join us! I know you are just as much of a cat person!"

Bucky shot a look at Loki from behind Y/N where they couldn't see but Loki read it loud and clear they were not welcome.

Loki smiled politely "Thank you but I am swamped with meetings and such today."

Y/N frowned "Aww maybe next time! I'd hate for you to miss out on the cats. That place has such big chonkers there I'm so excited!"

Loki smiled and walked away but was soon struck with an idea getting an even better cat for Y/N to fawn over. But the question was which cat.

Loki had been pondering the idea when finally he heard the perfect conversation between Y/N Wanda Yelena and Kate.

"I see a big cat like a tiger or something are you stopping me or joining me in petting the big cat?"

"That would be such a cool way to die," Yelena said.

"We wouldn't die from it but you're right!"

"I'm not gonna stop you but I'm not joining either." Wanda said

"A valid response"

"Who needs limbs," Kate said.

"Exactly!"

"DO NOT PET A TIGER Y/N!" Natasha shouted.

"This is why I didn't ask you."

The next day Loki knocked on Y/N's door, "Y/N may I come in?"

"Yeah! What's up?"

"Would you care to go on a walk with me?"

"Of course Loki! It's been ages since we've hung out!"

"Yes well it seems you are always with Barnes," Loki said.

"Actually I'm always with Alpine, don't tell Bucky but I sometimes sneak into his room while he's training to play with her."

"Your secret is safe with me but I must warn you he will probably find out soon," Loki chuckled.

"I know but..." Y/N paused as their stroll brought them outside," Loki what is that?"

"A tiger," Loki said simply proud that they were able to find one.

"Oh my god!"

Loki smirked "I am your god."

Y/N lightly smacked his chest "Don't be an ass, did you do this for me?"

"Only the best for you, don't worry she is completely trained you will not lose any limbs, and if you prefer to be just you and the cat I will be on my way."

"No don't go! You did this for me and love cats just as much as I do. Honestly I've been trying to get Bucky to let you join us when we take Alpine out. He always says no."

"I think it's cause he likes you," Loki softly smiles.

"I know, I overheard him talking to Steve, it's why I started visiting Alpine while Bucky is away," Y/N said.

"But why?"

"I in love with someone else, but I'm not sure if they like me back."

"You're amazing I'm sure whoever it is is lucky to receive your affection."

"And if it's you?"

"Me?"

"Yeah."

Loki sat there stunned.

"I'm sorry you can just forget about it."

Loki leaned in and kissed Y/N deeply showing the love that they have for them.

"I could never just forget about it, I love you too why else would I get you a tiger to pet."

"You just wanted to one up Bucky."

"Never my only motive was to see the smile on your face."

"That why you have the tiger over by where Bucky is training?"

"Of course not meer coincidence I promise you that."

"Whatever you say." Y/N smiled before making a dash for the tiger completely missing the victory smirk that Loki sent over to Bucky.

"I hate how so many otherkin joke about it like it's nothing but a quirk and not a real mental disability." - indicates it's a large issue within the community (evidence needed). "I'm sure some of the otherkin who make those jokes have autism themselves, but given how the jokes tend to misrepresent actual autism symptoms" - assuming they can tell whether someone is or isn't autistic, but that the number of autistic otherkin must be low, based on their opinion that autistic symptoms are misrepresented in the jokes told by "so many" otherkin.

"they learned about autism from Tiktok and have never looked at the actual symptoms in the DSM" - learning about Autism by watching videos or reading posts by Autistic people is a valid way to learn about Autism. Should it be cross-referenced with DSM symptoms before you self diagnose? Sure. But listening to Autistic people about Autism is always going to be more informative and accurate than the DSM alone.

"All it does is make the community unsafe for anyone who really has autism." - citation needed on this one. Your personal feelings of discomfort are valid. Assuming it's universal and the community is unsafe for a marginalised group is not.

Everyone example listed could very well come from an Autistic otherkin who is simply expressing their link between Autism and being otherkin badly or in a joking manner. I also agree with Sunchild that the inclusion of moodboards as stims being a joke at the expense of the actually Autistic is a bit weird when people do stim on moodboards.

"I hate to ruin the fun but can you please stop treating my disability like a joke" - you are ruining the fun, you're also fakeclaiming, seem to be anti-self dx, and are telling Autistic otherkin how they should be expressing themselves which is ableist.

"Being a therian or an otherkin doesn't automatically make you autistic, and that's fine! You don't need to be autistic, make autism jokes, or misuse autistic terminology to have fun in the community." - I've been lurking in the community for years and I've never seen the sentiment that if you're otherkin you also have to be autistic said by even one person who the HELL are you talking to? Or are you making assumptions again? Not saying nobody misuses Autistic terminolgy at all, ever, even in the otherkin community but unless it can be proven to be that this is a rampent "meme" of sorts I don't think the otherkin community is appropriating Autistic terms because they think it's fun/the only fun thing/the best fun thing about being otherkin.

Every so often someone comes around and goes 'otherkin are ableist because they appropriate the terms of x condition and make fun of us and think otherkin is the same as being x and it's not' and I think maybe we need to leave otherkin alone.

But tbh and this is me being judgemental now if you're mostly seeing this shit on tiktok or circles of tumblr containing mainly minors then yeah I think you're seeing this abit too much but should block because you as Sunchild said CANNOT TELL WHO IS AND ISN'T AUTISTIC nope! not even by how they speak or the jokes they tell! I've known Autistic people who still say they have Aspergers! I've known Autistic people who sincerely believe that all Autistic people are savants! I've seen Autistic people that say 'dumb' still instead of 'nonverbal'! I've seen Autistic people who thought certain things were Autistic symptoms and they weren't! Being Autistic doesn't mean they're an expert! The otherkin comminity SHOULD watch what it's saying if you're allistic and they SHOULD make sure they're not self dxing if they haven't looked up SHIT about autism but I think maaaaaybe you've taken it too much to heart anon.

As someone with actual autism, I hate how so many otherkin joke about it like it's nothing but a quirk and not a real mental disability. I'm sure some of the otherkin who make those jokes have autism themselves, but given how the jokes tend to misrepresent actual autism symptoms, it seems like a lot of the jokes come from otherkin who don't have autism or only think they do because they have a very misinformed view of what autism actually is (i.e. they learned about autism from Tiktok and have never looked at the actual symptoms in the DSM). All it does is make the community unsafe for anyone who really has autism.

"I got that dogtism in me" "me when the 'tism gives me fox brain" "I stim by making moodboards" "I'm going nonverbal except for barking" "I should have known I'm autistic, only an autistic person would be a therian like I am!" I hate to ruin the fun but can you please stop treating my disability like a joke. Being a therian or an otherkin doesn't automatically make you autistic, and that's fine! You don't need to be autistic, make autism jokes, or misuse autistic terminology to have fun in the community.

shoutout to fandom romanticing pedophilic gives-drugs-to-kids-with-no-safety-checks-except-making-vulnerable-people-trip-in-his-van-like-a-fucking-creep no life lowlife actual adult who hasn't given a shit enough to graduate school and bullies literal children because he's an insecure loser eddie.

I feel like this is a tad extreme. First of all pedophilic? Eddie is not a pedophile. Chrissy's age is still up for debate but even so, their interaction was never said to be romantic, he was just comforting someone who thought they were going insane. I also kind of interpret him as being gay and into Steve, but I will admit Steddie is not canon. But neither is Eddie X Chrissy? And yes, he did deal drugs, but he's also shown to be living in poverty so I don't think it makes him an evil person because he just needs the cash. I don't know much about drugs so I'm not going to comment on the safety stuff, but I suppose that's a valid criticism.

But again, I don't think these are irredeemable evil acts. Isn't that kind of the point though? Because he's a drug dealer and he's kind of mean and he has a spiky exterior let's say, people assume he's therefore a bad and horrible person who's capable of murder but he's just some kind of nerdy and cowardly but also very friendly guy. It's why Chrissy said she thought he was going to be meaner. It's the same attitude I take towards him 'bullying' children. Is he a bit too mean and harsh at the start of the series, especially when he refuses to postpone D&D? Yes, I'd say so. But once you get through his seemingly scary and mean appearance, you realize why these kids love him so much and why they want to be like him. I think he also acts mean because people expect him to be like that because he's into alternative stuff when in reality he's just a nice dude who likes heavy metal and LARP.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I always interpreted the fact he hadn't graduated was not because he was lazy but because he was scared to move on with his life. That's the point of his whole character arc. He starts out as someone who is too afraid to change so he just avoids his problems entirely and as the season goes on, he becomes more and more brave before sacrificing himself to prevent the demobats from attacking Nancy, Steve and Robin and to damage Vecna via hive mind. It's why he says he's finally going to graduate before he dies. He's finally been able to move on and not be afraid of change anymore because he stopped running from his problems.

Hopefully this explanation made sense. Thanks for the ask anyways.

I was waiting for your taeyong kinktober since the beginning but then when it came it was so smaller than the others, i was lowkey disappointed. It felt incomplete to me. Ik writers have a hard life too but just wanted to get this off my chest. I hope you know it’s not hate for you just criticism.

K.

That’s it. Kinktober is cancelled. Thanks to everyone who’s supported it this far, but since the length of certain prompts aren’t up to this anon’s standards, everyone go home!

Is how I really wanted to answer this ask, amongst other things. (Though that’s still a bit dramatic, even for me lol)

I’m not going to lie, when I first got this ask a few hours ago while I was out with my friends, it fucking sucked. I was having such a good time with them since it’s one of my last times I’m going to be seeing the both of them for a while, but then when I saw this pop up in my ask box, it put a damper on my spirits.

I’ll be honest, there was definitely a time when I was writing these prompts when I worried about the length of some of them. I know first hand which ones are shorter than the rest, and it worried me that people would be upset that “my prompt isn’t as long as x prompt”, or “why is x prompt over 1k words while y prompt is only 250?” It is a valid concern. However, I have also stated time and time again on my blog that I will never force my writing, and certain prompts just didn’t give me as much inspiration as others.

Why?

Well, isn’t that just the million dollar question right there? Probably because I've written so many similar things to other prompts, as well as the ask isn’t actually for someone I bias. I definitely have more inspiration for people I bias, or groups I am hyper focused on at the moment than others. Also, I will reiterate, I will never force my writing.

Keep in mind here that I am writing 62, yes, you read that right, sixty-two kinktober prompts. If I set a word count goal for each of them, do you know how mentally draining that would be? Not to mention how repetitive and boring they would be because I will never force my writing. Writing them day after day leading up to their postings, a lot of them tend to blend together because it can be the same thing over and over. Some of them were a ‘I need to write this to get it done, so I can move on to the next’ rather than an ‘I want to write this.’ Also, again, the fact that for this particular case I felt I had written so many similar things just grated on my mind.

I have This Drabble which includes bondage with Taeyong.

I have This Drabble which includes Demon!Taeyong smut.

I have This Drabble which includes bondage with Taeyong.

These prompts are not meant to be very long, you can look at any of my 2020 Kintober Prompts to know. If some of them ended up being longer than the rest this time around, that’s great! If not, I am not going to force my writing. These are not full on smut pieces, of which I literally have one for Taeyong, a fact in which not many of the other nct members can say they have a stand alone smut on my blog.

I know this isn’t hate, but tell me where I asked for criticism? I always ask for feedback, but this message just reads to me that you (who probably sent this request, or at least that’s what I'm assuming based off of this salty ask), are butthurt about your request not being as long as you wanted it to be. I never promised novel length prompts. Besides, isn’t the saying quality over quantity? Though, it looks like you don’t think the prompt’s that good, either. Shame.

Like, I'm going to be real for a second here, (cause I'm starting to get heated the longer I look at this ask), but how entitled do you think you are? I don’t owe you kinktober prompts. I did it because it was something I thought would be fun to do, and because I wanted to do it. I don’t owe that to anybody. 

Let’s also not talk about the fact that it seems that over half of the interaction I only seem to get is people wanting to request something from me. It’s different when I ask for requests, but it’s still disheartening as a writer to know that one of the only types of interaction you get (after begging for some asks with games and stuff), is just people wanting something from you. I can’t count the amount of asks I've deleted in the past week about people sending me shit like “can you write this same kinktober prompt for x member from y group instead?” That shit is not okay!

Also, the fact that you came into my ask box on anon to tell me this, instead of, I don’t know, reblogging the fic with your feedback instead says a lot. This response probably would have gone a lot differently then. 

Yeah, I'll admit, this particular prompt is not by best writing, but let’s be real. Even if it were longer, you still wouldn't have reblogged it, anyways.
