#I'm here playing with dolls basically it's fine

Regarding Donna Beneviento and her characterisation in the fandom, I think it's important to note that she really isn't the shy awkward adorable blushing mess that everyone depicts her as being.

This got long but I did a mildly extensive read on her character under the break! :)

Here are the notes I took a screencap of, written by Mother Miranda, which talks about the suitability of Donna being a vessel for Eva:

There's the evidence you need that she is severely mentally ill, so babying her just feels... wrong anyway, all things considered.

Note - "and has divided her Cadou among her dolls in order to control them from a distance." While I'm on my 3rd replay of re8 I still don't fully get how the Cadou works, but what I think is essentially happening is Donna is literally splitting off parts of herself and putting them in her dolls.

The main one being Angie, of course.

I always used to consider Angie a separate character entirely but she's linked deeply to Donna on a very personal level. Considering what she's like and what all the other dolls are like - loud, funny, sarcastic, rude, etc - and how Donna is literally the one directly controlling Angie (that's the only way she moves lol, because Donna is carrying her places. Which is also why, when you kill Angie, the illusion melts away to reveal that you've actually killed Donna), I think it's safe to say that's what her actual personality is like.

Also, her only spoken line of dialogue? Please listen to it. For those who are hard of hearing, like me, she says: "don't leave... I can't let you."

Bearing in mind the way she speaks? Her tone? She sounds confident imo. Determined. And perhaps even a little angry at Ethan for thinking he can escape her.

Just a last addition as well, can I say that her abilities as one of the Four Lourds is genuinely evil? Everyone else has physical intimidation - Alcina has her height and her claws and mutation, Heisenberg has his ability to control magnetic fields and metal, and Moreau can mutate into that huge fish-with-legs thing that vomits something akin to acid? Oh yeah and he can swallow you whole too.

Donna, on the other hand, doesn't have physical intimidation like that. She only has the threat of psychological damage (which makes sense considering she's severely mentally unwell). When Ethan goes through her gardens and has to solve the puzzles in the house, she makes him hallucinate about his wife whom he thinks is dead, and about his baby who is somewhere in this unknown country with a bunch of mutants who only have bad intentions.

It's even worse in the Shadows of Rose DLC imo. As Rose, Donna makes her hallucinate the bullies from back home, being called a freak and a weirdo, made to relive the worst moments of her life. And the puzzles too? Hell. Having to actually recreate the scenes of her bullying with wooden fucking dolls. I remember feeling really sorry for Rose while playing through that part.

And yet Donna is still "the uwu baby" because what? I don't know. People love to declaw female villains just because they're attractive (looking at Lady Dimitrescu here). They love to reduce the characters down to their looks and not consider their actual lore or background or the role they play in the franchise (looking at Leon especially...)

Which, ya know, of course people are allowed their headcanons for characters and Donna doesn't get enough screentime to really have her personality even thought of, let alone to be made canon. But I think it's fair to say that Angie and Donna are basically one and the same because they're literally the same Cadou.

This is a quick reminder that you are, of course, allowed to disagree with me. Everyone has their own opinions and that's fine. If you would like to politely debate about this in my comments or in my DMs, or even in my asks, then you're more than welcome to! Please remember debating and arguing are two different things though.

If it really irks you that bad then please scroll, it's not hard. If you don't want to do that then feel free to block me - the button is free of charge after all and should be used more to cultivate your feed to your liking.

[qlventingspace]

I'd like to drop some of my thoughts about The Heart Killers here.

You know I'm kinky ace, my love of Pete in the VegasPete days was quite evident as well as my belated realization that I forgot I've always been kinky on some level.

I get that show like Heart Killers is not everyone's cuppa and it's totally fine to be sad about not being able to watch show with your favourite actors for whatever reason.

But.

But this is a show made by a queer man about fantasy queer men.

If you start hating on it (based just on what was shown to us in a trailer) just because you can't watch it and/or it's too sexual or kinky for you ... that's not a problem of the show.

That's a you problem. If you don't like, do not watch and for fucks sake do not start with moralizing.

I'm more than happy to be surprised and I'm on the edge of my seat looking towards what the show is gonna be like bc they didn't give us any concrete hints.

FUCK YES.

I also think that First and Khaotung are literally powerhouses regarding acting and I can't wait to see them in completely new roles we haven't seen them before.

It's surprising, yes, considering how fluffy and cute and comfy vibes they're excluding in their own personal lives but what do we know?! Maybe they wanted to try smth new or maybe they are multifaceted people who like the roles for personal reasons?

Not my place to speculate.

But to see people insisting on them being pushed to filming scenes like that against their will or feeling like they are 'too pure' for kink or sex scenes - that is outright disrespecting their integrity and free will and truly viewing them as only a dolls fans can play with and dictate what they can and cannot appear in.

They are talented, mindful and picky actors, who have enough of will and freedom to choose whatever roles they wanna explore.

P'Jojo is adamant about actors being okay and comfortable filming scenes like that and it was also mentioned that the final nc scenes are always first approved by the actors who star in them (as mentioned in the OF bts).

So knowing all that, insisting on FK being somehow unwilling participants of that, is reeking of homophobia and fan entitlement to actors choices. Stop that.

I went on a tangent a bit.

What I wanted to share as well though is the joy and anticipation!!

I struggle with series that literally rely just on sex scenes, while the plot, cinematography and editing is shite. In those cases sex scenes (though filmed well) are not enough to keep me interested.

In case of Heart Killers I am only excited. I know Jojo's work, so that's in itself is guarantee of quality as well as authentic queer experience (or fantasy in this case).

The soundtrack again will be a blast bc of Jojo's excellent taste and ofc Khaotung singing the smashing ost.

As for the genre I still have no fucking clue what's that supposed to be but I'm swinging wildly from action to romance to crime to comedy to thriller.

(side note: why are people now complaining about it being "soft/lith porn" is beyond me when similar people were excited about porn in different series ??? explain?

sideside note: also manymany straight media is basically porn hiding under fantasy or romance genre but I don't see people accentuating those being porn when talking about them

sidesideside note: also reducing the series that HAVEN'T EVEN COME OUT YET to mere porn is outright disrespectful to creators as well as actors)

The plot (excluding any possible spoilers since I avoid them like a fucking plague) seems engaging and interesting and full of twists and it will probably be not what we imagine or expect but that's exactly what I ehehe EXPECT of it.

As for the sex and kink.

Why should it be smth bad or morally wrong just because it's a bl? Just because it's a gay sex and kink?

I swing wildly between finding sex scenes boring, fascinating, completely no shut it off and being horny cause it's hot.

It's just how I am.

THK has the advantage that it has FK to keep my hyperfixation happy and considering the filming crew, the aesthetics and general vibe of the nc scenes will be bloody fucking beautiful.

I was fully hooked from the trailer and I can say that the combo of FK talent, sub/dom vibes, bondage and probably whole layer of christian guilt (saw you Jesus on a shirt, I'm so sorry) will be my downfall.

middle-aged stuff

This is the time of year when I have determination and free time so i do all my medical appointments. This year I'm old enough that they want to screen me for colon cancer.

it's funny because current events, so i'm like, ah, it's the downfall of the western world. my taxes are funding genocide and man-babies playing dolls have decided that cruelty makes their enemies squeak satisfyingly and I get to watch babies starve about it. Meaninglessness blah blah. Oh and I have to get all these cancer screenings, and petition my insurance company about having them covered since they're supposed to be. And oh yes this and that. Mundane. Boring.

Also in current ongoing things, my most politically-active IRL friend, who lives over near the farm and dedicated her life from 2016-2024 to the Run For Something kind of aesthetic of trying to reform local politics first, recently (this week) succumbed to a prolonged fight with cancer, and it's incredibly sad and depressing and at least I know she's not seeing what's happening now, but I'm like. Well.

Well I'm taking my cancer screenings seriously I guess. Hers was a special case with many contributing factors but oh my gosh it was brutal and they tried everything and she fought so hard and god, how draining. I said goodbye to her in November, and she was so cheerful about it because that's the kind of person she was. My sister and BIL were taking some of the shifts to sit with her toward the end, so her family could sleep sometimes. It's just so brutal. So.

One thing: this is only the second time I've managed to go get a mammogram, but the form is the same. on the form, they want you to attest: I am not pregnant. And then they give you three boxes you can choose from, for how you can prove to them that you are not pregnant. One: I am postmenopausal. Two: I use an effective birth control. (List it here.) Three: I have undergone surgical contraception/sterilization (List date of procedure). None of these is the extremely, incredibly common scenario that happens to be my scenario, which is My partner has undergone sterilization and I am monogamous. Which I understand is not foolproof-- if you are lying or in some other way not actually living up to the second part of that statement (I myself have in idle thought exercises fallen victim to the extending my I-can't-get-pregnant-by-accident relief to scenarios that of course would not be covered by it; I'm sure many people over the ages have absentmindedly forgotten that their Foolproof Birth Control that affects only their partners actually makes it *more* important that they avoid all contact with anyone else.) But good Christ if I am lying, even to mysef, then this form is void. It kind of drives me nuts every time and I know they don't really care it's a CYA form but oh my god. (There's also no option for I am not sexually active or I am not sexually active with a partner who could impregnate me, which are also both foolproof and common scenarios!)

But as for colon cancer screenings, I'm gonna put that behind a cut.

There's this newfangled thing right. You can either go in for a colonoscopy, which is a routine and basic and fine normal thing people do all the time don't even worry about it, OR they can send you a kit where you submit your uh relevant excreta for testing and they look at it and find out if you have the DNA or other markers of cancer in that, and it's good for only 3 years instead of the 10 that a colonoscopy is good for, but I was like well, I will try that and see how it goes.

Friends. Friends. I thought, I am a person who, due to my lifestyle, quite often shits in a bucket in the woods, I am not precious about my toileting facilities, to be perfectly blunt. But I discovered that it is extremely difficult to contemplate shitting in a box in your own house, and then taking that box, nicely-packaged as it is, and sealing it up all nice and bringing it to a UPS store to drop off, and the outside of it has the testing company's logo and slogan, which mention the colon, prominently emblazoned.

It was not trivial. And at one point, as I struggled with my body's reluctance, I thought, it would probably have been better to take the turbolaxatives they give you, and the indicator liquid, and go and get buttwanded in a hospital. So I will do that next time.

All this is just to say, when you reach the appropriate age for such a thing, do not fall victim to thinking "shitting in a box at home sounds way easier than shitting for twelve hours and then going and being sedated in a hospital" like, by default. It may well be, you may well have really good reasons to think that, but my gosh. It was not as much easier as I'd expected.

(It's not really shitting in a box they send you a whole kit with the collection container and a sample thingy and preservative and a sealing lid and a hundred pages of instructions and a video you can watch that's sort of disturbingly clean and smiley but like. In the end. It's you, and this box, and your sense of self.) (Actually it would have been significantly easier for me to have done this in the woods than in my own house, now I think back on it. Context is king.)

anyway. anyway.

oh and. am i insane or did doctors used to be able to send prescriptions/referrals straight to the other facility? I showed up for my mammogram having left the piece of paper the doctor gave me about it on the kitchen table at home, and said as much to the receptionist. "Should I drive home and get it?" I asked-- 22 minutes each way-- and she said no no, i'll call them, but i have to call them, I can't go ahead and do the test without the thing. Best if i can speak directly to them and get a verbal approval. (What? do we not have emails anymore?)

She came to me and was like "they're not picking up and I have to check in other customers, can you call them" so of course when I called them I got right through, and they said oh we can send it, but the fax doesn't always work, so if you need a verbal, call right back and we'll pick up. I wanted to hand the phone straight to this receptionist but she was checking in a disoriented 84-year-old and I felt I really couldn't break in. So I hung up, the receptionist then said the fax thing hadn't worked, so I called back. The phone rang until it automatically hung up.

The confused 84-year-old who'd arrived after me went in for her screening. The sixtysomething with a cane who'd come in after her went in for her screening. The thirtysomething with impeccable nails who'd come in later than either of them went in for her screening.

20 minutes on hold later, I finally got through, to a different person at the doctor's office who could not understand what I wanted, did not know what to do, I finally handed my phone over to the receptionist at the radiology clinic, who managed to convey to this person what we needed.

God, I miss the like. halcyon good old days of 2012 when they could actually electronically send one another forms. And when not everyone was so horrifyingly understaffed that the prerecorded phone thing had twenty minutes of material on it because they know they won't get to your call.

Nobody wants to work anymore I guess????

Ugh. It was incredibly stressful and time-consuming and meant that I was so sweaty by the time the tech was trying to take images of me that she yelled at me for having put product on. (No ma'am, that's just stress sweat, you told me I couldn't have deodorant remember?) Had to baby-wipe myself off and then dry off on the ludicrous hospital gown. Ay yi yi. But I got my squashed glamor shots, and I am here to reassure you that all those horror stories about mammograms hurting are really for itty bitty titty types, if you have gazongas you can just plunk up there & it's a ton easier for them to get good pictures. So don't worry. It's not pleasant but like, i can basically stand outside the room while they're doing it. (No, this is hyperbole. I did take ibuprofen afterward but there were other contributing factors. My first time, when I was not so sweaty and stressed last year, was much easier.)

i am getting a lot of writing done. much of it is The Wrong Thing but it's all good. it's all good.

INTRO POST!

HI fellow whump lovers!! I'm Aster! (my main is @ablatheringblatherskite!)

I have finally decided to make a whump blog. Mostly because I'm having a hard time sorting and finding the posts I reblogged on my main. My main will still be getting a bunch of whump stuff, but this sideblog will be exclusively whump!!

I'm mostly a fanfic writer, although I do have some original stories in the works!

Some fandoms I've written for (and want to write for): Phantom of the Opera, Supernatural, One Piece, Les Mis, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Wednesday, Hamilton

Blorbos I've Whumped (Or will whump): Raoul de Chagny, Erik (the Phantom), Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Peter Parker, Matt Murdock, Tyler Galpin, Hiccup Haddock III

READ MY WHUMP FICS HERE!

IMPORTANT NOTE AND SQUICKS:

I'm also a Christian. I avoid explicit and NSFW whump, as well as whump as a kink or fetish. I'm fine with graphic gore and violence, but avoid the more sexual side of whump generally.

Squicks: NSFWhump, overtly sexual contents, mentions of genitalia, Urination,

Some whump stuff I like!:

Restraints!!!! (shackles attached to the wall or ceiling, chained, tied to a chair, bound on the floor or in a stress position, gags, cloth gags and duct tape, collars and muzzles, hidden restraints, etc.)

Kidnapped and capture!!

Body horror (especially paired with non-con body mod)

Resigned whumpee, especially a defiant whumpee becoming broken and resigned and afraid

Small cages

Trophy Whumpee (Whumpee to be shown off and be pretty)

Mouth/eyelids stitched shut

Manhandling!!

Royal whumpee

Stress position

Dehumanization, Infantilization, and Humiliation/Degredation

Torture!!

Pet whump (obviously not the NSFW kind)

Nonsexual BBU

Roleplay whump (like, when the whumper forces the whumpee to play a specific role for them. Like their child, or spouse, etc)

Creepy whumper

Intimate whumper (yes ofc not the NSFW kind. More like ruffling their hair, patting their cheeks, holding their face, playing with their hair or ears, etc.)

Non-sexual, noncon touching

Exhaustion (but particularly when it's with an art form)

Performance whump (is this a thing. Like being forced to sing/dance for whumper's entertainment, or for whumper's gain)

Art whumpee (whumpee that's somehow turned into art)

Cosmetic whump

Plaything Whumpee (Whumpee being treated like a toy, a plaything)

Doll Whumpee (Whumpee being treated like a doll)

Experimentation and lab whump/medical whump (Lab rat whumpee!!)

Living Weapon

Forced obedience

Manipulation, mind games and gaslighting

Body control (Like, when whumper is only in control of the body but not the mind, so whumpee is maybe trapped in their mind and forced to watch)

Enslaved whumpee (IDK WHAT THIS IS CALLED but basically when a usually non-human whumpee is forced to serve and obey their master, whether that came about through a contract or the master somehow finding a way to trap them into servitude)

Whumpee being turned into a puppet (literally and figuratively)/Literally being puppeteered with strings

Brainwashing/mind control

Cybernetics whump

Sensory deprivation

Branding

Carving skin with a knife (carving words, or maybe a creepy smile on the corners of whumpee's mouth!)

Public whump (public humiliation and being used as an example/to discourage people mmmmm)

Dismemberment/Vivisection/General Mutilation/Permanent damage/Gore

Waterboarding/Head being dunked into water forcefully

Good ol' classic beating while whumpee is restrained/already down

And I Must Scream

Trauma

Comfort

And probably more that I've forgotten!!

I've never really understood getting mad over what people ship or don't ship honestly, I like the two ships that you've mentioned you don't doesn't mean I have to be mad about it, doesn't mean anyone's wrong for liking or not liking different ships.

Maybe I'm just a multishipper but I've never understood arguing over which ones better should be canon or any of that either.

Basically I don't get it, you can not like a ship you can talk how much you don't like the ship or why but going out of your way to find and get mad about ships you don't like is stupid.

I'd say that's a good thing to think

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Shipping is just playing dollhouse. There's no rhyme or reason to getting mad over how someone chooses to play with the dolls. Play with yours the way you want and extend that gesture to everyone else. Play together if you want, play separately if you don't like their game. Play on opposite sides of the room and face away from each other if you really need to. But don't go swat at them or try to take their dolls or whatever. Shipping is already a touch childish, you don't need to go full tilt and become a tantruming kindergartner about it.

Hate the ship, love the shipper is the ideal for me. Plenty of people don't like BurningCheese. Plenty of them like ShadowSpice. Whatever, that's fine. We can still be buddies. Your life will end up really lonely really fast if you turn away every single person that doesn't march lockstep with you in every direction at all times lol

(And look. Since I'm here and on break. I will explain myself one single time. ShadowSpice just does not make sense to me. Square peg in a round hole. I try to give ships I dislike the benefit of the doubt, usually. I don't like Hollytaya but I understand its appeal. I've read a couple of fics and they were actually quite nice. I tried to read one ShadowSpice fic and I quit 3 paragraphs in. I just cannot do it. It makes me feel gross and itchy. I saw someone's explanation on here for why they ship it, don't remember who, and it still didn't add up. I felt like a toddler trying to read Finnegan's Wake. The gears just will not turn, not even with force. I can't stand them together like that, so I don't seek out any content like that. The occasional jab I make is where it ends. I'd otherwise rather talk about stuff I actually like instead of stuff I don't lol)

(Also I don't multiship. Hollyberry and Dark Cacao are the only exceptions. I like them together and with their respective Beasts. I don't do it with anyone else, I attach myself to specific pair bonds and simply refuse to let go. Whatever ships I like are the be-all end-all for me. But that's just me personally, more power to you if you think differently)

Not Your Doll (Bucky x Reader)

Warnings: mentions of violence but I think that is par for the course when discussing anything Marvel related. Timeline is a liittle wibbly wobbly.

use of Y/N, cause I'm old okay?

Authors note: I have not written anything in a while! I sarted a few stories that i did not like and ended up scrapping entirely. I decided I would try something simple. So here is a fluffy, funny little one shot I thought of one day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve remembered the day he met (y/n) like it was yesterday. He had been in training for most of the day. After all, 70 years on ice would make anyone a bit rusty. That night he was staying at some S.H.I.E.l.D. compound. Director Fury had been slowly introducing him to the others; Natalia, Tony, etc. but that day Fury met him in the front lobby of the cleverly disguised hotel. 

“Steve! I hope you have been adjusting okay. I have someone I would like you to meet”

“Another one? Lead the way!”

Steve followed him into the elevator and watched as his fingerprint unlocked a second set of buttons. He pushed one labeled ST12 and the elevator shot down beneath the hotel, to the area he and a few other people of interest to the organization were staying for the time being. As they exited the elevator in the smaller lobby area there was a woman sitting on one of the little couches. She smiled at director Fury. “Nick! So good to see you again.”

“(y/n)! Always a pleasure. Now that I have you back from your mission, there’s someone I would like you to meet. This is Steve Rogers aka Captain America. Steve this is (y/n) (l/n) one of my best agents.”

“Oh stop Nick. Flattery will get you nowhere.” She turned to Steve and extended her hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Captain.”

Steve remembers hearing the smile in her voice. The smallest hint of laughter at the end of her sentences. He remembers how her eyes seemed to light up at the notion that she was good at her job. He also remembers the words that made them harden, and her smile go flat as he shook her hand. “The pleasure is all mine doll.” 

Nick tensed up. “I wouldn’t call her that if I were you.”

“I’m sorry if I have offended you.”

“I’ll let it slide this once cause you’re new both to the agency and the century, but word of advice, I’m not your doll. The last guy that called me that, ended up flat on his ass and I don’t care what fancy serum they put in your system I’ll lay you out too.” 

“Understood Ma’am. Is ma’am okay?”

“That’s fine. Now that introductions are through I have a few friends coming over to play cards later if you wanna join us.”

“I’ll be there” 

Steve learned three things that day about (y/n) (l/n). She was fantastic as poker. She didn’t tell anyone what she did for the agency or how Fury found her. And she did not appreciate being called doll. 

Yes Steve remembered meeting her like it was yesterday, but he was just so excited to have gotten his friend Bucky back that he didn’t think to warn him. After all it had been so long since Steve had called anyone doll. It was basically extinct from his vocabulary at this point. Besides, Bucky had already had a long day and he was injured enough. Steve wasn’t going to warn him about every person he might meet that day.

After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D very few agents were left. Only those who were closest to Fury were kept in the loop to avoid any other information possibly getting to Hydra. And since the hotel compound had been destroyed in the fight Stark had offered some spare rooms to those remaining including Bucky while we figured out where to take him. 

James Buchanan Barnes was tired. It had been a long day. Hell a long year at this point. He had met the rest of the team on the flight back to New York. He had already heard that Wakanda would likely shelter him for the foreseeable future but for at least the next couple of days New York would have to do once more. As he walked off the elevator he saw a woman in a red nightgown standing in the kitchen behind a counter. She turned to face the group and her eyes went a bit wider, but her smile never faltered. Her voice sounded like a river, with a melodic drawl to it that could wear down stone without the stone ever realizing it. As the rest of the teams begins to spread out across the room, the woman leans on the counter over a cup of coffee and turns her attention to the new arrival.

“You must be Bucky. Steve has talked a lot about you."

"I am."

"You look like you had a long day”

“Yes Ma’am I have. And you are?”

“(y/n). It’s nice to meet you. Everyone sit down I made dinner. You all must be starving.” 

Everyone seemed to relax a bit. Sitting in various places around the big living room enjoying a nice soup. Bucky was still a bit tense considering his situation, but he appreciated what little hospitality he could get. As he shakes himself loose from a train of thought he looks up to see (y/n) holding out a glass of amber liquid. 

“You look like you could use something a bit stronger than water.”

Steve was relieved that introductions had gone relatively well so far. Seeing (y/n) hand Bucky the glass of whiskey was a good sign. He looked down at his own drink abit lost in thought. 

“Thank you Doll.”

Steve’s head shot up. Others in the room seemed to hold their breath. Anyone who could do so was looking for (y/n)’s reaction. Steve tried to help. “She doesn’t–” He stopped as she turned to him with a look he only usually saw when he had done or said something remarkably stupid. The look that said he should shut up before he digs his own grave a seventh foot. She turned back to Bucky as he took the glass from her and smiled. 

“You’re welcome darling.”

She stretched her arms up with a yawn and walked towards the hall door. “Alright everyone I’m off to get some sleep. All of you should do the same sooner or later.” 

Steve was confused. He got up from his spot in a chair and followed (y/n) down the hall. Just as she was about to close her door he catches up to her. “(y/n) wait.” She opens the door and leans a bit on the door frame. She’s obviously tired. “Thank you for not snapping at Bucky. I forgot to warn him. It’s just been a long day. I’ll talk to him in morning about it I promise-” 

“No need. He’s okay.”

“But I thought you told me not to call you doll.”

“Correct. Because i’m not your doll.” 

With that she bid him goodnight and shut her door. Steve looked at the door then the ground, confused as he walked the short distance back down the hall. When he looks up he realizes that he didn’t close the hall door behind him. “Did y’all hear-”

“Oh yeah cap we heard the whole thing.” Tony interrupts. An amused look on his face and that of most others in the room. “Don’t be sad, you can’t win all the ladies.” 

Steve looks over that Bucky to see him looking past Steve, down the hall at the door (y/n) had just gone through. Bucky says nothing but he knows that look. “Don’t even think about it Buck.”

Bucky just smirks a bit and sips his drink. “I didn’t say anything Steve.”

Alex Keller SFW relationship headcanons 

Since my first post on this man did good, here's some SFW relationship headcanons to feed your delusions 😀

No warnings on this one, folks. Was made with both masc and fem readers in mind, but some of the specific headcanons are leaning towards a specific gender.

Enjoy!

-Love languages are physical touch and acts of service. Loves giving + receiving touch, but feels more inclined to spoil you by doing things for you.

-Will do chores you despise if you're sick/tired. As much as you may insist it's fine and that you can do it, every once in a while you'll find your designated chores (as well as the ones Alex already does) finished.

-He passes out compliments like it's candy, and his words are honestly as sweet as it, too. So sincere with everything he says, no matter how self-conscious you may be, he'll do everything in his power to make you feel like royalty.

-A big fan of just relaxing with you. Y'all could be doing basically anything, whether it's watching TV or making food or cuddling, and no matter how mundane things may be, Alex would much rather just enjoy the simple moments and appreciate the time he's able to spend with you. 

-Nicknames for you include: Baby (baby girl/boy/doll), sweetheart, sunshine, dolly, darling and the occasional love or sugar. 

-I feel like he's a God at back massages. No particular reason why, he's just good at them. 

-The inside jokes are top tier. The type of inside jokes you and Alex have are probably so ridiculous that to anyone besides you two, you guys look insane. 

-Whenever he sees anything that reminds him of an inside joke y'all have, he'll literally have to place a hand over his mouth while snorting. Then he'll text you about it so fast he makes like 12 spelling mistakes. 

-If you have a favorite animal, color, show, etc, you best believe he's going to go out of his way to buy you gifts of those things. He'll just come home one day with a plushie of your favorite animal with the widest grin on his face. 

-"Look what I found at the mall! You still like bears, right?" (Totally didn't use bears as an example bc my favorite animal are bears..) 

-Loves relaxing on your chest. Whether you're taller or shorter, it doesn't matter. Your chest = his pillow. 

-Loves it when you run a hand through his hair or touch his facial hair. Also, please cup his cheek and give him as many kisses as you possibly can.

-Will MELT if you fall asleep on him. 

-His favorite places to kiss you are the cheeks, forehead, nose and ofc the lips. 

-Always has an arm around your shoulder or waist or holds your hand in public. He's not very possessive or anything, but he just feels the need to show you off. Its kinda like he's saying "Hey, look at the absolute eye-candy I scored." And he gets all smiley when someone compliments you. 

-Favorite cuddling positions are spooning (he always insists on being the big spoon), or where you're practically on top of him and using his chest as a pillow (and vice versa). 

-If you also want kids and can get pregnant, he's completely fussing over you the entire time. You're not allowed to lift a finger 

-He'll also do the same if you're sick or on your period if you're afab. 

-Once, while he was on deployment, you got sick and told him about it. 

-"Aw, sunshine. I'm so sorry to hear that :(" is what his text said, before asking you exactly what you needed. Then boom, all of a sudden his mother pays you a surprise visit and makes you some soup. It's totally not like he asked if she'd be willing to check up on you or anything because he couldn't be there..totally not 🙃

-Also, I headcanon him to be a major mama's boy. Maybe he's got an older sister or two as well, idk. 

-I feel like family is very important to him. As such, he's always dragging you over to see his family. 

-Always getting you to play with any nephews/nieces he may have and when you do, he gets massive baby fever. 

-Either way, I feel he's fairly knowledgeable on things like periods and such, which is probably why he's so good at taking care of you

-If you're amab and need some new clothes, he'll gladly go through his old ones and see if anything catches your eye. 

-Will let you wear a shirt of his regardless of gender, though. 

-He knows how much you love wearing his t-shirts and sweaters, regardless of if they fit you or not. So, one time while he was on deployment, he "forgot" a shirt at home and once he "realized" he'd "forgotten" it, he told you to keep it safe. 

-"Alex? I think you left a shirt behind." 

-"Thats alright, sunshine. I've got plenty of other clothes. Can you please keep it nice and warm til I get back?" 

-Y'all always have a meal over FaceTime together when he's deployed. 

-Whenever he sees something that reminds him of you, he sends you a text and a picture of said thing. 

-And said thing is usually either really beautiful, like the sunset or a flower that caught his eye, or something really stupid like a pic of a weird looking cat from the internet or a giant rat he saw around base. 

-"Saw the rat that's been terrorizing the base's kitchen today. Reminded me of you ❤" 

-"Wtf"

-"Why would a rat remind you of me?" 

-"Because it steals my food and leaves crumbs everywhere but is still pretty damn cute." 

-"🖕" 

-"Love you too, dolly." 

-Def wants some sort of pet with you, especially a dog. 

-If you're allergic to dogs, he'll try to get a hypoallergenic breed.

-Although he's certainly not opposed to most other pets! Prefers dogs to cats, but he still likes them, so if you would prefer a cat he's down to get one. 

-Asks for pics of said pet while on deployment constantly. 

-And when he's home, his entire camera roll is just filled with the goofiest pet pics. 

-Such a bad cameraman when it comes to animals for no reason. Will make the most beautiful, expensive and well-groomed ragdoll cat look like a sewer rat with just one photo 💀

-Somehow takes amazing pics of you, though. Manages to make you look absolutely gorgeous/handsome everytime. 

-Stays up late just chuckling at messages between you two on deployment. Does the same for pictures of you, too.  

-When he returns home, though, there's barely a night where he's up past 11 pm, because you're there to cuddle him to sleep. 

-Overall, Alex would just be such an attentive, loving partner. You, your safety, your family and making you laugh are his main priorities.

Another one done! Definitely enjoying writing these, so let me know who I should do next.

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

My post about hating the Barbie movie and how it actually spat in the face of feminism and all that the franchise stands for is done and dusted, I'm afraid, but that being said there are still some points I left out of it that I would like to address, and I will do so here:

The movie portraying women as hopeless endless victims who have no hopes of succeeding or getting what they want out of life is bad enough, but there's a brief blink-and-you'll-miss it scene where Barbie is taking Gloria and Sasha back to Barbieland, and as they're on the spaceship, she says to them that women control everything and have all social and political power, which is fine...but THEN she goes "basically everything men do in your world, women do in ours" and that...that line just makes me so appalled and angry I could SPIT. Like you're really spelling out that you think women in the real world have no power or control in any aspect of society? I understand that it's supposed to be "commentary"(it's not good commentary tho) and that the real world IS a patriarchy, but we HAVE women in power in our world too! We HAVE female Supreme Court Justices! We HAVE women in high office! We HAVE female mayors and CEOs! We HAVE women in positions of power and leadership, period! And yet Barbie creates this illusion that women in our world such as Sasha and Gloria would have NO knowledge of or point of reference for women in power who do any important shit at all; it's completely fucking absurd. But then again, this movie was written and directed by a white feminist. A white feminist, who, like all white feminists, has a complete miserable victimhood/defeatist complex. So of course she projects it onto her female characters(even female characters of color, who are ofc SUPPOSED to be more sad and let-down than SHE is!), like the sad, pathetic fuck she is. And y'all wonder why I hate persecution flips so much. We need to shove that bullshit trope six feet under. If you want to tell a story about the patriarchy, then FUCK, WRITE ABOUT THE ACTUAL GODDAMN PATRIARCHY!!! Don't just do this nonsense "uwu what if men were the oppressed ones and women were the privileged--" no. Stop. Cut it the fuck out. This is getting ridiculous.

This part is probably incidental but fuck that, I'm still gonna knock it. Sasha and Gloria never actually get to experience the matriarchal utopia, and I just find that so depressing. Despite the bleak and frankly miserable lives that they lead, they never get to experience the escapist freedom of living in a society in which they are in charge, where womanhood isn't looked down upon and is in fact honored, where they have power and aren't in danger of being stalked, followed, or killed by men just for walking down the street. They leave their patriarchal world, hoping to see a world that is better, and instead enter a world that is just as bad and equally as patriarchal as the one they tried to escape from. It's truly depressing, especially for Gloria who specifically wanted to get away from her anxieties with real life and just have fun with her daughter for a bit. Instead she has to be confronted with ANOTHER patriarchy, watch the childhood doll she loved and played with have a panic attack and give up on life just like she did, and then give her infamous, cliche, and paint by numbers "being a woman is suffering" corny as hell speech. Before reinventing the matriarchy and getting her power back only by leaning in to patriarchal stereotypes about women's bodies and sexualities. And then leaving back for her regular patriarchy world without getting to experience any of it. It's almost like the movie was literally saying that women will never be able to free themselves from patriarchy and that a better world than this one does not exist. Patriarchy is insurmountable and all-prevailing, says this movie. It's truly tragic.

And honestly, with regards to that shitty ass clusterfuck of a speech, isn't it like, so totes ironic, that part of Gloria's speech is her complaining that women have to apologize for men's bad behavior...only for the "happy" ending of the movie to involve BARBIE HAVING TO APOLOGIZE FOR KEN'S BAD BEHAVIOR?!?!!??!?! Like no one fact-checked that shit and went "wait, something ain't right"? Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!?!?! I hate that scene with every fiber of my being and realizing this makes me hate it even more now. Just, ugh.

Tldr: Fuck this movie, but then again, I've said that shit like...several times before. lol.

[institute-of-dolls]

I have a question that may be a bit strange since I feel like I should know what to do myself but I need a bit of advice.

Here's the thing, I have a doll who's purpose is to be cared for but she's not used to being vulnerable. She's not used to just... letting go and letting me do what I'm supposed to do when it comes to properly taking care of her. She's worried about it making her look weak or lazy.

Do you have any advice on how to help her just... accept it? I do everything I can to reassure her that it's fine but, once she lets go it doesn't take her long to try and fight it, even though she wants to accept her purpose too.

I'm open for suggestions and advice from other dollmakers and owners out there too.

Hey there, This is a very good question, and, I will admit, one I'm going to ask for other input on as well.

This is a difficult one, it's hard to find how to be vulnerable when it hasn't been safe to.

I must admit, I might not have the best experience or advise for this- a few dolls close to me have this issue as well, and I am learning to help them but it's difficult. And to be honest, I struggle with this too: learning how to turn it all off and unwind, relax, be vulnerable. It's hard.

The best way I know how is… well, slow. It's about creating the safety they aren't used to in order to allow them to learn to unmask or unwind or relax to allow themselves to be vulnerable You have to be patient and gentle in places where it can be hard to be. Work to create practices and spaces that allow them to practice, maybe in little bursts. Use that space to allow them to be vulnerable, and then give the space for that vulnerable part to be imperfect. Being unable to be vulnerable is often about hyper-vigilance, an inability to risk being unsafe. It is a learned method of being safe, which means it needs to be consciously unlearned, which takes practice and time.

From a more practical advice, I've tried a few things for me and my dolls.

One of these was requiring maintenance time. Basically assigning rest and down time as a task, a chore, to be completed. This takes the process from being about making the doll convince itself to rest on its own and instead makes it a required service; a task like any other. It's a band-aid solution, but it makes a dedicated time to practice, and takes some of the cognitive load off of the doll.

Another one was taking some self-care stuff and making them something like a service task. Sit and listen to you while you do its hair for it or similar things. It again, makes it part of the dolls purpose, lets the doll re-frame it, and allows it practice. And it lets you take care of it for a bit in the process.

We also do a thing sometimes called game piloting. We have some dolls in my group that are very into, good at, or willing to learn highly specific or difficult games that a person doesn't want to. They play it together, the doll playing with the other making the choices. This lets you do some re-framing again, and creates another together activity in the process. It allows you to assign taking downtime for hobby or fun if the doll struggles with that on their own.

These all don't all directly address vulnerability, and might be not perfectly relevant. But they do let you have structured ways to practice it, and does allow them to practice being cared for, resting, and downtime.

If anyone has some advice, as always do speak up. It's always appreciated and would be rather helpful.

Crude Service:

This au seems fun, lets add some sugar and spice, everything nice and…a can of whoop ass to it? Eh sure why not brain-

Headcanon that’s already kinda been discussed, everyone at the shop has their own signature brew, j and uzi’s have been discussed, why not the others?

V’s is a simple one she perfected in her early days called “shy reprise” it’s cheesecake-esque in flavor with a hint of nutmeg-like flavor that may catch you off guard if you don’t read the ingredients under it.

N has technically two, “doggo’s warm smile” is the one for your average drone, it’s almost hot chocolate-like flavored oil with marshmallow-esque things safe for drone consumption in them with a cute doggo art on it. The other one is “senti cups”, this worlds version of pup cups, it seemed fitting he’d be the one to make a version of them for the sentinels

Cyn’s is “good morning smile”, it’s the strongest oil order in the shop that they got, wakes you right the hell up, accompanied by art of “:)”,”:3”,”<:)”,and sometimes rarely “<:3”, the flavor is classic oil with a bit of vanilla-like flavors to temper it

Solver has “sleepy solution” an oreo-like flavor to the oil and despite being a oil brew, it typically does as it’s job entails, getting someone ready for sleep mode after a long nights work

Tessa’s…tessa’s is called the “gala’s mess”, while uzi’s takes from the flavors at the end of the week, tessa’s is taken from the start and add’s in fixing’s of red velvet-like flavoring, condensed oil sprinkles, and whip cream-like substance and then finely mixed together.

Speaking of solver in this au, being how in canon it’s kinda something that’s been here longer then anything else and just saw drones and went “oh that’s a good form”, in this au, I headcanon solver acts as the manager that deals with karens (which rarely happens) or people just giving their workers a hard time. As for looks, think of EMET from evolve but bulkier, most of its facial expressions are emoticons but facing like how a face should, its cctv camera eyestalks as it’s actual eyes that come out the back of it’s head and wrap around to the front over the top of the emotive screen. Does still have its powers, mainly only uses the basic symbol one to just…hold out extra feisty customers at a distance and set them outside.

Question time again:

1.how are the families doing in this au, nori and khan doorman, yeva and her husband and doll, alice and beau, and what jobs do the parents have in this au, if there is any differences from canon.

2.uzi’s thoughts on her co-workers

Crude Service

The AU can be a lot of fun if you lean into it being a little shop (of horrors), and just have them all be quirky little maniacs.

I love the various drinks, and how you gave them flavor profiles for the drones to enjoy, and yes, N would make senti-cups for the sentinels, after V failed to make them for the cute babies she has tamed.

The Solver being an entity as well as a drink can probably cause a lot of confusion, and should be exploited for lots of laughs.

Listen, you get the StarBolts being 'dealt with' by J, so Karens and jerks can be handled by Solver who is happy to just observe all the people coming through and their mistakes. Using the powers to play bouncer is amusing, and Uzi learning it as well would be hilarious to me.

. . . I just pictured her and Solver playing split the wishbones with some particular idiots.

Answers segment:

They're doing good, The Doormans are proud of their daughter, even if they're sleeping in separate rooms. Mostly cause Khan sleeps on his plans for doors, and Nori sleeps in her bed. Yeva, her husband, and Doll are having a time working as delivery servers. Alice and Beau are odd jobbers. Khan is an engineer, Nori is a DJ.

"Thank god I'm the only sane one here…"

Listen here you little ****

1. I'm not knockoff Hades, as he is my great Uncle. He also gave me this body so flame him if you don't like it.

2. I work here, I'm the teacher of emotional control (Don't ask me why, I am the god of fear but like shush).

3. I want academic success, Lightrider was not focusing on her studies.

4. You want an introduction? Look on Wikipedia, you'll find me. But you won't find you.

I don't want to cause Fear but please talk to me before flaming me in front of students, again I have only not been possessed by a demon for like 5 months.

// OKAY.

// I am usually an incredibly tolerant person. Everyone here loves new roleplay accounts, new people coming in to play dolls and practice our writing skills all together, coming up with stories that make us feel alive with characters that make us feel seen. New people are awesome.

// And then there are people like you. I don't know who you are, where you're from, or how old you are. But even a child should be aware of basic playground rules.

// The Fortnite Tumblrverse is a safe place for whoever wants to join and play with our little creatures and make stories. It's fun, inclusive, and so very silly, and the only things we take genuinely seriously are having fun and keeping this place safe for ourselves and anyone who wants to join in the fun. To the newbies running the accounts of the Supernova kids, we love you, y'all are absolute treats to interact with and read.

// We have established lore and long-running storylines. Some characters and story repercussions stretch back over a year. It's a fascinating interconnected web of beautiful stories running parallel to the Fortnite Island and I adore each and every person who has contributed to it all. Everything is built on mutual respect and enjoyment, and we love showing it off to new people and making room for more.

// And now here you come in, with your lack of care for what we've built together, your disrespect for our plainly stated rules and boundaries, your own version of preestablished events that you expect us to just accept and deal with, and your complete disregard for characters that already exist, acting as though it's perfectly fine to puppeteer someone else's character and say you'll make them say and do things they would never.

// That's not okay, it's extremely rude and disrespectful. I gave you a chance to step back and reexamine what we've all established. To read our rules and boundaries, catch up on our summaries, do the research so you could approach again with the information necessary to slot a new character into the world with the rest of us happily backing you.

// If you had started by doing the reading, respecting our boundaries, respecting our stories, and respecting us, then introducing your character and building who he is out a bit, letting us get to know you and you getting to know us, we would have been more than happy to pull you in. Heck, you may actually have been acknowledged as a professor had you actually gone through and asked nicely.

// Instead, here you are cussing me out and doubling down. Absolutely not. I've seen what you've been posting around as well about Evie. You're not making any friends here with this behavior. You show up, demand we alter our world to your liking without respecting anything about it or us, and now you're doing the equivalent of kicking the dollhouse and screaming because we're not letting you have your way.

// And to make things more interesting, everyone has noticed the disparity between how you treat female muses versus male muses. You brown-nose and kiss up to the men, especially the Jones you think is in charge, and you bully and cuss out the girls like Lightrider and Evie, and disrespect the autonomy of both Evie and Night Rose. "The Jedi" has a name. Use it or don't speak of her at all.

// We have a Night Rose. Her mun is not happy with you for acting like you can speak for and control her. We have a Hope too, you're not going to cover your backside by forcing a new version of her onto the scene.

// Stop. Learn some manners. Step back. If you keep going like this, nobody is going to want to interact with you. People don't like interacting with bullies.

// Playground rules, kiddo. Play nice, or nobody will play with you.

[cultofthe-lamb-confessions]

The game itself does little to give characters personality and that's awesome actually. You have some basic traits like cowardly Kallamar or chaotic Leshy (which, well, what you'll expect from god of chaos, ofc) to work with by it's actually so hard to mischaracterize any of them. We know little about characters and their past lifes and although I'm interested to see what devs have prepared, I want to stay it that way. I don't want to know why exactly does Kallamar's relic resurrect in some way or who is so important to Sozo that he remembers their name even when brainwashed with mushrooms. I'm perfectly fine with playing dolls and it makes me happy to see how other people play with those dolls too. Maybe I don't like the interpretation, but I still smile because of how many you can do and can tell. Wanna be silly? Wanna be serious? Wanna dark themes? Wanna ships? Here, take it. And that's great.

Arthur Shelby- Learning A New Way To Communicate

When Arthur left for war with his brothers, his daughter was only 1 1/2 years old. Her mother had passed away so it was left yo Aunt Polly to bring up the young girl. 4 years later and the wars over. Arthur has been reunited with his little girl, which of course he's excited to see, but it also a little worried to how she will react to seeing him again since it's been so long. Unfortunately during the war YN got meningitis, which has caused her to loose her hearing. Polly learnt sign language to communicate with YN. Of course Ada and Finn have also picked it up and use sign language.

YN waits with her aunts and uncle Finn at the train station. She sighs 'will daddy still love me' to which Polly responds 'of course he will'. The train stops and out comes the men who physically survived the war, but maybe not mentally. Around them are many wives, mothers, girlfriends, children crying and screaming, but YN can't hear, she just watches what's going on around her. Polly takes the little girls hand and walks her over to Arthur, Tommy and John

"There's my little girl! Look at you now you've grown so much!" Arthur yells smiling. YN looks at her aunt to help her understand what was just said. Of course aunt Polly let's go if YNs hand and signs what Arthur just said "Polly what are you doing?" he asks

"Why don't we go home and I'll explain" frowning Arthur follows Polly with his brothers.

"2 years ago YN got sick, meningitis they said. She lost her hearing. YNs deaf Arthur she can't hear you talking"

"What? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I think you had your own things to deal with"

"So how do we communicate with her?" Tommy asks

"With sign language, Polly learnt it and has been teaching us" Ada tells her brothers

"Will you teach me?" Arthur asks

"Of course" Polly responds just as YN walks into the living room. She goes straight to Ada signing for her to come upstairs and play dolls with her

"What does she want?" Arthur asks

"For me to play with her"

"Fuck. I'm her own father and I don't even know what she's saying. She doesn't want to come near me"

"Arthur, she wasn't even 2 when you left for the war. It's going to take time for you to get used to each other again. You'll be fine though" Ada replies getting off the sofa

"Try taking her out, learn the basics. She'll come round"

Over the next few months Arthur has to build up the relationship with his daughter since she doesn't really remember him. She's seen photos and knows that Arthur is her father, but for obvious reasons they aren't close. Arthur's been learning sign language, but still needs help with certain words, especially words that aren't used that often

"Polly how do I sign cake shop?" Arthur asks his aunt who helps him. He then signs to his daughter asking if she'd like to go to the cake shop for some treats. She nods her head going to get her shoes and coat on.

Outside Arthur does his best signing to YN to communicate

"Arthur! How are you?" A man walks over taking Arthur's hand in his "is this your little one? She's gotten so big. Haven't you. Got your dads eyes" YN looks at Arthur then back at the man feeling confused

"She can't hear you Bill"

"Can't hear, what a load of shit. Cause she can hear me"

"No Bill she's deaf" although YN and Arthur are still getting used one on another again, YN already feels safe with him so she moves her body closer to his

"Never used to be. She's got ears hasn't she" Arthur gets angry feeling very protective of his little girl, but since she is here he holds it in

"Excuse us" Arthur says nudging his daughter to move forward. Once away from Bill Arthur signs that he's sorry that she felt scared or confused. All Arthur wants to do is keep his daughter safe and loved in a world where if you were different in any way you would struggle.

Arthur and YN grew closer as the months went on. Arthur got more confident with sign language and YN started showing her personality more and more. Tommy and John also learn sign language and then their significant others would learn it. YN never felt isolated once with her family.

So the song that goes like "Elysium, the place the when your sorrows end, why'd you bring me here again?" was an actual song in-universe, written and performed by some New Albion based musician. I'm probably interpreting this was too literally but just think of the implications.

You live in New Albion. You start a band with some friends and record this song. It's fairly popular, getting played on the radio a few times. Then suddenly the city is overrun by dolls that have the souls of dead people trapped in them and your song gets super popular due to all the fucking dead people playing it. Sure okay. I mean it's pretty good publicity but also creepy? Why are they playing your song over and over?

And then one of the most important dolls that belongs to the family that run this whole necromancy business creates a song. It has the same melody as your song and features the word "Elysium" but other than that it's different. All the dolls are playing this song. It's basically a rip off of your song. Do you get angry that they blatantly copied you? Let's say you want to sue them for infringing on your copyright. Someone point out that they're dead, so do the laws apply to them? And then let's say this starts a whole legal debate about wether the dolls can be classified as people or not. Edgar lobbies for them not to be classified as humans because otherwise he wouldn't be able to sell them because it would count as human trafficking. Anyway I'm getting sidetracked

So they've ripped off your song but what can you do? Not much. And then a girl commits suicide. She leaves a note that's just the lyrics to this song. This sparks a public outrage and a call for the dolls to be destroyed. You decide it's in your best interest to act like this song has nothing to do with you. Let the dolls keep it. Maybe you continue your music career, writing different songs. Maybe you can't distance yourself from the scandal and your reputation is tarred by infamy. Maybe the authoritarian government that arises doesn't approve of your music. Or maybe you're totally fine and escape with your reputation intact. Who knows? Anyway it's pretty cool to think about
