#IT’S LIKE THE JUDGEMENT OF THE GODS IN A WAY.

The strange fascination I have for the Greek gods runs back to a past life that I had and was cut short for reasons of an affair of the heart. Well, just like millions believe in one God ,and a son today ,these notions of a sin and punishment and the need to be forgiven in order to reach Heaven and not ending up in hell do have a different meaning in the ancient gods and goddesses Greek narrative of the afterlife. So,I ask you if instead of one god we hybrid humans would have continued with the pantheon of gods and goddesses ,would have that idea been better ,and done away with the Vatican and the other predominant religions in this world? Perhaps we would be more tolerant of cryptids and other paranormal phenomena. As a shaman I’m indeed more open to the existence of other hybrid races that still exist in desolate places away from us ,I know of a few that roam the 4 corners states and Native Americans refuse to talk about them openly because it is forbidden by their councils of each tribe elders. It is easy for me to have an open mind and not allow scientific dogma to cloud my judgement, as one example as one that says that earth laws apply to all universes ,well,this hasn’t been proven true .Funny that we ask for proof to confirm our limited knowledge and understanding of nature as if we were the ones that have the final answer . This in my book is arrogant and childish.Well ,if the Greeks believed in their gods and the Egyptians in their pantheon of anthropomorphic gods , why are we so stubborn and claim our god is the only one?Even Native Algonquians believe in a great Manitou a creator with supernatural powers to put one case ,you see each tribe around the world will have a different version of one or many gods even today .In my book there’s no need to instill fear in people and obscene things and ways to behave ,if we are all human beings and know what is wrong and what is good is enough.After all we are immortal beings.The final question in Greek mythology is where have those gods and goddesses gone? One day ,a new generation of humans will crest new gods and goddesses to fill in the vacuum of the current belief system .We won’t be here but they will.Regardless of our current beliefs.Words by Sergio GuymanProust.

caught in the rain
omg did blueflags just write fluff?
“Wait, wait, hold on,” Oscar says. “Remind me how you got this number?”
On the other end of the line, Max Fewtrell is not amused. “Mate, I’ve had it,” he grumbles, huffing into the speaker like he’s struggling with something. Oscar winces at the static and pulls the phone away from his ear. “And, seriously, you’re worried about that now? We’ve got bigger problems.”
From the background, a giggling voice slurs, “Hi Osc!”
Oscar allows himself one second of blushing and butterflies at hearing Lando’s voice; then Max’s concern spreads to him as well. He listens as Max attempts to calm him down from… whatever’s going on. “Hey, Lando, come on, look at me… take some deep breaths– no, no, don’t eat that–”
“What’s going on?” Oscar interjects, standing up and pacing. His anxiety is immediately conjuring up worst-case scenarios, and it’s not helping. He walks to the window and looks out at the night outside; some fresh air would be nice, but it’s been absolutely pouring for the last few hours and shows no signs of abating now. “Is he okay?”
“I’m okay!” Lando sings, so loud into the speaker that Oscar flinches and nearly drops the phone. There’s some more scuffling on their line, presumably as Max swipes his phone back. “He’s not,” Max contradicts firmly as Lando whines petulantly in the background. He has to raise his voice over a white-noise roar in the background, Oscar notes.
“Did he take something?” Oscar asks. He looks to the front door where he’s left his shoes. He thinks about driving fast in this kind of rain– it’s not that he can’t do it, it’s that none of the other drivers on the road can. “And where are you guys?”
“I found him in a park, stoned out of his mind,” Max tells him. The roar in the background gets louder, like a busy street. “I don’t know who he was smoking with, he’s not really giving me complete sentences, but–”
“That’s because you’re not nice,” Lando complains. “See? That’s complete. Tha’s very complete…”
As worried as he is, Oscar can’t help but feel an almost painful sense of endearment. As cute as he is, though, Lando has apparently had some lapses of judgement tonight.
“Are you outside?” Oscar asks, just as a roll of thunder rumbles overhead. “In this?”
“That’s what I’m trying to tell you,” Max says, urgency creeping into his tone. “He’s locked out. No keys, no wallet. He called me on a payphone. I mean, thank god I know his spots…”
Oscar swears under his breath. He can’t take his eyes away from the storm outside, the way the rain slices through the air in cold sheets and spills over rooftops with whitewater force. “Okay, okay,” he says, mostly to himself as he tries to thinks. “You drove there, right? Can you at least–”
“We’re walking to my car right now,” Max confirms. “And normally I’d just let him crash at mine, but I’ve got family visiting this weekend. They can’t see him like this. Fuck, Lando, I told you to keep your arm around my shoulders– sorry,” Max apologizes. “He’s a lot to handle right now. Listen, Oscar, I’ve already called half a dozen people. If there was anyone else, I wouldn’t–”
Oscar puts the pieces together over Max’s fumbling. “You want to drop him off at mine?”
“I’ve got a spare,” Max says quickly, talking in a rush like he’s scared Oscar will hang up. “Somewhere, I mean. I didn’t have time to find it before I went out to get him, I can go back to my place and look for it properly but I don’t know how long that’s gonna take and I don’t want to leave him alone in the car too long and–”
“Max, it’s fine,” Oscar interrupts. It’s only when Max sighs, full of relief, that he starts wrapping his head around what he’s just agreed to.
“Thank you,” Max tells him sincerely. “You’re a good guy, Oscar. Knew I could count on you.”
Oscar bites his lip against the sudden warmth in his face, overwhelmed by the compliment, and tries to push his embarrassment aside. “Right,” he mutters. “Um, don’t mention it. How far away are you?”
“I need your address, first.”
Lando, sounding no less coherent, pipes up: “‘S in my phone already.”
“What?” Oscar and Max say at the same time.
“Lando, you don’t have your phone,” Max reminds him. Then, to Oscar: “Why does he have your address?”
“Um–” Oscar is uncharacteristically flustered at the interrogative tone in Max’s voice, which seems to imply something far beyond the mundane situation. “Uh, he dropped me off from padel, once, we were playing with–”
“Okay, yeah,” Max concedes. Whatever that edge was in his voice (suspiciously like jealousy) is smoothed out before Oscar can make sense of it. “Listen, just text me your address and I’ll tell you when we’re close. Also, uh–” Max clears his throat. “He’s, like, soaking wet, so–”
“I’ll take care of him,” Oscar assures him.
“Oscooooo,” Lando coos happily.
He hears Max open a car door, and the call ends sometimes in the midst of Max trying to manhandle Lando into the passenger seat, which is a relief. Oscar doesn’t think he can say a single word without stammering now.f
If Lando sounded out of it on the phone, Oscar is definitely not prepared for what’s standing on his doorstep.
Both Max and Lando are drenched to the bone, water pooling under their shoes and into the hallway carpet. Max must’ve given one of his layers to Lando because he’s only wearing a t-shirt, which is plastered to his skin and nearly transparent. Despite the extra jumper, Lando’s shaking so badly that Max has to hold him upright.
“Shit,” Oscar say. “You guys look terrible.”
“Nice to see you too, Oscar,” Max grumbles, slinging Lando’s arm over his shoulders right before he starts sliding.
“Nice to see you, Oscar,” Lando mimicks dopily, eyes glazed. His cheeks and the bridge of his nose are a blotchy red like he’s been badly sunburnt, while the rest of his skin is frighteningly pale. His teeth are chattering too hard for him to keep his mouth closed, and there’s a slight glisten of drool on his chin
Oscar quickly opens the door wider and beckons them both inside. Max struggles to get Lando to coordinate his feet enough to walk; Oscar reaches out instinctively, then immediately draws his hands back like he’s been burned. He aches watching the two of them struggle, but it’s one thing to agree to help Lando, and quite another to… what, cradle him? Carry him? Surely if Lando were sober he’d have objections–
“Did, uh,” he starts eloquently. “Did he, like, OD? Is that even a thing with weed?”
Max shakes his head and braces himself against a wall so he can adjust his grip on Lando’s waist. Lando watches the dark handprint spread under his palm and drip rainwater onto the carpet, mesmerized.
“He didn’t, and no,” Max says, in answer to Oscar’s questions. “But his tolerance is practically nonexistent. Worst I’ve ever seen. And knowing him he probably forgot to eat…”
“Sorry,” Lando mumbles, confirming.
Max sighs. “We’re gonna have a talk about this, you and I. Don’t think you get off easy just cause you’re with Oscar.”
Oscar’s taken aback, but before he can begin to wrap his head around what that might mean, Max nods at him. “Thanks again for your help. I’ll be back as soon as I can to take him home, just gotta remember where I left that fucking key.”
“Okay.” Max is clearly exhausted. Oscar finally reaches out without second-guessing himself; Max looks at him gratefully before stepping closer and finally shifting Lando’s dead weight from his own arms to Oscar’s.
Lando stumbles, nearly knocking them both off balance, and then curls into Oscar immediately. Oscar flinches and draws in a sharp breath; it’s like hugging a block of ice. Lando is absolutely freezing, and his rain-drenched clothes are quickly soaking Oscar as well. He shivers so hard Oscar can hear the spasm in his breathing, everything too tense for him to catch his breath. He closes his eyes and makes a sound like a mewling kitten and burrows into Oscar’s chest, tucking his face into his shirt.
”You got him?” Max asks, flicking water out of his eyes.
Oscar’s got him. One arm wraps firmly around Lando’s waist, maintaining their balance despite the actual pain his bare skin experiences from how cold Lando is, and the other cups the back of his head in his hand and draws his face closer to his own body heat. Lando hums against him, and Oscar can feel the vibration at the base of his sternum.
“Yeah,” Oscar answers belatedly. “I can find some clothes for him, something comfy…”
“Good. You do that.” Max gives him one pained smile, failing to suppress his own shudders, and steps back over the threshold. “I owe you one.”
Before Oscar can explain that Max doesn’t owe him anything, that he’s happy to help, that he would’ve offered without being asked if he’d have known, that’s he’s actually rather irritated that he wasn’t higher up on the list of people Max had called, come to think of it–
Max leaves, closing the door behind him.
Oscar is left alone with a very cold, very wet, very stoned Lando Norris.
Lando’s ragged breathing is the loudest noise in the flat. He’s squirming in Oscar’s arms, nuzzling insistently at his chest like he’s trying to climb inside of Oscar. His hands are so cold they leave painful stinging impressions wherever they touch Oscar’s skin.
“God, Lando,” Oscar murmurs. “You’re freezing.”
Stating the obvious. Lando moans miserably in agreement.
“Yep, okay. Follow me. Uh, can you walk?”
Apparently Lando can, as long as he’s allowed to cling to Oscar like a giant half-frozen octopus at the same time. The walk down the hall to the bedroom is agonizingly slow, but every time Oscar tries to detach himself to get them both moving quicker Lando cries out. He’s very much not in his right mind, but he still sounds so pained that Oscar lets himself be nearly frozen along with him in the simple quest to get to the end of the hall.
He has to physically pry Lando’s arms off him in order to sit him on the bed. Lando whines and reaches out into the air, trying to pull him back and missing atrociously. Oscar peers into his eyes; there’s not a spark of recognition or self-awareness. All Lando understands is that he’s cold, and the only bit of warmth is going away.
”Lando, please, just stay here,” Oscar pleads, only belatedly realizing he’s using the same voice he used with their family dog. “I promise I’ll be right back, I just need to get some extra clothes for you, okay? Something warm.”
“Mm’kay,” Lando mumbles, nodding too many times. He wraps his arms around himself, but his strength is visibly fading. His lips have darkened to a bruise-like blue. Not a good sign.
“Stay here.” Oscar moves quickly, digging through his drawers to find the warmest possible outfit. He gathers everything he needs and turns back to Lando, sitting near-catatonic on his bed, and stalls.
“Um,” he says, clearing his throat when Lando shows no response. “Hey. Lando.”
A flicker of awareness. Lando’s eyes focus on him for a split second, then cross.
Oscar approaches him, tentatively holding out the clothes like he’s holding out a treat to a stray dog. “Bathroom’s over there,” he says, gesturing with his chin. When Lando doesn’t react, he adds, “You need to get out of these clothes. You’re soaked, you’re gonna get sick.”
To his relief, Lando finally seems to hear him; unfortunately, some crucial parts of the sentence have evidently been missed as Lando starts trying to wriggle out of his shirts right there.
“Woah, uh, you sure–“ Oscar squeezes his eyes shut, which is stupid since Lando’s got so many layers on that he’s not even a little indecent, but he finds it easier to talk without looking. “You sure you want to do that here? And not in the bathroom? Or I could like, step out and–”
”No-o-o-!” Landos’ voice is so broken by shivers that Oscar’s resolve simply melts. He steps forward to help his friend.
It’s a lot quicker with the two of them working together. When Oscar finally pulls Lando’s last shirt over his head, exposing his bare chest and arms, he makes such a pained yelp that Oscar scrambles to get the dry clothes on him like he’s being timed.
With a lot of fumbling and strategically averted glances, they finally manage to get Lando completely redressed. His hair is still dripping, but he looks much more comfortable in fleece pajama pants and a hoodie so big it goes down to his thighs. His fingers don’t even reach past the sleeves; it looks like he’s got big paws instead, floppy when he reaches for the hood and pulls it up.
Oscar’s teased Lando about their height difference a few times, but right now he looks tiny. Red-rimmed eyes blinking up at him from the shadow of the hood, shoulders all but swallowed up in the fabric, hands tucked primly inside the sleeves as Lando rocks on his heels.
It feels only natural when Oscar opens his arms and welcomes Lando back into his embrace. Lando, to his credit, seems a lot more coordinated now that he’s not wearing half his weight in rainwater. He slides his arms under Oscar’s and holds him around the waist, letting his head rest on Oscar’s chest like it’s his new favorite pillow. “Thanks, Osc,” he sighs contentedly.
The nickname that can seem so mundane in the media activities feels suddenly, vulnerably intimate. Well, Lando’s never said it with his lips pressed right up against him, has he?
To distract himself, he tries to focus on just getting Lando away from the brink of hypothermia. He tightens his grip and rubs up and down his back with open palms. “You’re still so cold,” he frets, just to have something to say.
“Nmshph’ you,” Lando protests.
Oscar places his warm hand over the back of Lando’s neck, still refrigerator-cold. “What was that?” he asks.
Lando mouths at empty air a few times before he speaks, like he’s trying to form the sentence before his mind is ready. “I said ‘Not with you’,” he answers.
Oscar inhales a little too sharply.
This does not mean anything this does not mean anything this does not–
He just needs to keep the tremor out of his voice. He just needs to be normal about this.
He closes his eyes. “Yeah, you’re right. I’ll keep you warm.”
To describe Lando’s response as anything other than a purr would be simply delusional.
Oscar’s hands move without his permission, seeking up to run shaky fingers through Lando’s hair. He’s careful to be gentle around the tangles. It’s still wet, but no longer dripping in small waterfalls into his eyes, so that’s an improvement. Lando sways his head from side to side, like he’s encouraging Oscar to keep going.
So he does. Lando’s breathing evens out, the shivering smoothed over. His eyes flutter shut.
“Do you want to lie down?” Oscar asks.
Lando nods tiredly against his chest, so he carefully walks them both over to the bed. Stripping back the covers proves to be a challenge, because Lando is putting more and more weight on him by the minute. His shoulder is starting to cramp up, an unpleasant stiffness making its way into his neck.
“Lando,” he huffs tiredly. “This would be easier if you could just step ba–”
“So pretty,” Lando murmurs.
Now Oscar might be the one turning to ice, with how quickly his whole body falls into stillness. “Uh,” he begins gracelessly, a pillow slipping out of his hands and back onto the mattress with a thwump that makes Lando giggle. “Erm, what was that?”
He’s asking in the confused, self-denying hope that Lando will either realize he didn’t mean what he just said or will have forgotten the thought entirely. No such luck, though, as Lando finally leans against the bed and allows Oscar’s shoulder a much-needed respite. He turns a bit and tries to arch his back to lean away from Oscar without completely detaching himself, but he doesn’t quite have the coordination. Like it’s the most natural thing in the world, he places his sweater paws on Oscar’s waist.
Looking down at the position, Oscar’s brain short-circuits.
It looks like they’re dancing. Not even in an elegant, romantic way, more like two school kids who are trying not to get caught by the chaperone.
Oscar brings his eyes back to Lando’s upturned face, bedsheets all but forgotten. Lando still looks so small, swimming in Oscar’s clothes, looking up dazedly through his eyelashes. The smile flickering on his lips could light up the whole room. “You’re so pretty,” he hums contentedly. “What are we doing?”
“What?” Oscar snaps himself out of it seconds after the question leaves his mouth; he does not need to give Lando any more prompting. His face is burning. He’s a little out of breath. He needs to find some way to neutralize this situation, to get himself and his own live-wire feelings away from this…. what, danger? temptation?
“We,” he says, answering Lando and talking over his own spiraling stream of consciousness, “are getting you ready for bed. And then Max is going to come back and take you home.”
“Tu tu tu tu…”
“No, not that Max. The other Max.”
Lando nods sleepily and, to Oscar’s immense relief, finally starts climbing into the bed. Oscar puts his hands behind his head so he doesn’t death-drop it into the wall.
Then Lando’s brow furrows. “Why?”
“Wh– because he has a key. To your flat.”
Lando shakes his head. “Why,” he repeats again with a petulant frown. “Got a bed right here.”
Oscar swallows. “Yeah, but that’s my bed.”
Lando shakes his head again and opens his mouth like he wants to argue, but instead settles for reaching into the air and making weak grabby hands for Oscar. “‘s your bed,” he reasons.
Oscar allows himself a split second of imagination: the two of them, curled together under the covers, the whole room blanketed in the shushing sounds of the rain outside. Lando curling into him like he’s finding some sort of sanctuary in Oscar’s arms.
Then he decides his best escape plan is going to be lying through his teeth: “Um, that’s okay, actually, I’m not tired…”
“Yeah, but I am.”
Something about that last sentence sounds scarily sober all of the sudden. Oscar peers into Lando’s eyes, trying to discern the bloodshot threads that mean the drug still has a dominant hold over his mind. In the dim lamplight of his bedroom, it’s hard to tell. Lando seems to like the attention, though, staring back with what can only be described as awe.
“Pretty,” he whispers, his voice barely audible on the edge of a sleepy exhale. His eyelids are starting to slide shut, slow and heavy as syrup. “Come to bed.”
He sounds tired, but he doesn’t sound nearly as out of it as he did even ten minutes ago.
Something between excitement and panic ignites in Oscar’s chest like a gas fire. His mind races two steps ahead of him, providing an onslaught of horrifying what-ifs: what if Lando comes to his senses and pushes him out of the bed, what if he realizes what’s going on and thinks Oscar is trying to insinuate something, what if he changes his mind about what he means when he’s obviously delirious and half-frozen to death, what––
What if he means it?
Whatever the case, the regretful, abrasive Lando in Oscar’s head is nothing compared to what’s curled up in his bed right now. Longing eyes, reaching hands. Rain-matted curls making little loop-shaped impressions on the pillowcase.
Who would he be to say no?
Oscar climbs carefully into the bed.
His initial plans to stay within the narrow strip of space between Lando and the edge of the bed are dashed immediately.
Lando finds him under the blankets and goes full koala. Within seconds of lying down he’s wrapped in so much Lando that the blankets feel like an afterthought. Lando’s practically lying on top of him.
Oscar tries to keep his breathing under control. He can’t remember the last time he was this close to… well, anyone. Their legs are entwined. Lando’s arm is slung across his waist, head back on his chest like he could build a home there.
And the thing is, it doesn’t feel dangerous. It doesn’t feel like temptation.
There’s no fear here, no second-guessing anxiety or hysterical self doubt.
He’s under the covers with Lando, and it feels right.
Lando’s still a little cold. Oscar shifts up just enough to free one of his arms and wrap it around Lando’s shoulders. Lando curls into him, purring again.
It’s nice.
“Thanks, Osc,” Lando sighs, voice muffled by Oscar’s shirt.
Oscar finds his free hand lifting to card through Lando’s hair again. He can’t help it. “Yeah,” he says as Lando nestles in, savoring all the warmth Oscar has to give, “anytime.”

all of the gods in god games gave odysseus their blessings in 'odysseus'. here's my reasoning.
apollo- 'if that's true, release him' (god games) as a blessing to go home and get back his throne by any means. and ody kills most suitors with a bow- apollo's weapon. (he's a dual typed god- healing and disease, music, dance, and fighting/archery) he's also a god of truth and likely gave odysseus that gift to see through the suitors' bs.
hephaestus- 'fine. release him.' (god games) 'trust is not given, it's forged.' he likely realised how loyal odysseus was to his family. forging is not just crafting arts, but interpersonal relationships- something hephaestus himself is wary of (given his abandonments). when odysseus sacrificed most of his crew he may not have *liked* it but understood ody's need to go home.
aphrodite- she may not have blessed him as the others did- 'let him feel the pain of his mother and rot.'- but implicitly let him go home and witness what happened, and take back his rightful throne and the kingdom he loves.
ares- in the myths he is about bloodshed and fury- and athena convinces him to set odysseus free with the promise of more. ares likely also sees how pissed odysseus is at the state of ithaca and his wife's current predicament. ares' blessing is righteous fury and the adrenaline to carry out what must be done.
hera- she's the goddess of marriage and family. it's when she hears odysseus has never cheated once through his journey- how loyal he is to penelope. she's also the queen of the gods and understands coming to power in tumultuous times- and standing with her partner through it all with love.
zeus- here's a long one. i think he gave it at the start in the horse and the infant. he gave odysseus the prophecy and foresight to see it through- and later in god games with 'thunder, bring her through the wringer/ show her i'm the judgement call/ the one who makes her kingdom fall'. this last part is passed to penelope- the way to bring the prophecy to completion. odysseus doesn't go after the suitors until he sees how bad it got in ithaca- because zeus caused it to be.
(zeus is also god of hospitality and the suitors long overstayed their "welcome"- a king would have kicked them out, but odysseus was long absent. after a certain point, houseguests become invaders.)
odysseus would NEVER have been able to kill the suitors at the end of the horse and the infant. it's only from poseidon and athena's teachings- and his experiences- three times "open arms" failed and 20 years of being away from home- that he fully embraces ruthlessness- kills the suitors before they can raise avengers- and while those experiences fundamentally change him, it does not change his and penelope's love.
after all, isn't love the driver of this whole journey?
#epic the musical#epic odysseus#my fiancee are staying up so late tonight cryge#worth it bc we had to get this out or itd kill us

the r/l/b and r/v/b “everything is cyclical, and a contest, and we are once again resting who wins and who loses on a woman’s favor” continues.
#IT’S LIKE THE JUDGEMENT OF THE GODS IN A WAY.#I’m not far enough yet to know exactly what’s going on with Gerard/Daphne/Quentin but feels like yet another possible parallel brewing.#➤ ooc. ┊ she’s nauseous,she’s hysterical,and she’s exhausted.#➤ roger collins & victoria winters & burke devlin. ┊ to know how it ends‚ and still begin to sing it again.#I’m out of practice with my Hellenistic texts but I am tempted to think about the roger/burke conflict as relating to kleos#there’s the literal sense in which there’s misapplied justice — perjury — a fault in the legal system as it stands & skews towards collins#but theres also the sense that roger has done a greater wrong on the divine scale that amounts to more than only the manslaughter convictio#which is why it doesn’t matter that burke only served five years; or that he got out on good behavior; or that he’s now obscenely wealthy#the transgression violates a bigger sense of honor.#competing for the goddess’ favor doesn’t have much impact on the running of the Collinsport PD#(other than when roger strongarms them into giving testimony)#but their favor *does* lend itself to the overall contest of glory — and the winner gets; among other things; a bride.

I love that Barbara's slightly grey morality during her history as Oracle is just something half the batfam cannot acknowledge for the sake of their own mental health.
Steph: Oooh you used to work with the Suicide Squad? Did you ever have to kill people?
Babs: Well I-
Dick: Of course she didn't!
Cass: Barbara would never kill how dare you.
Babs, knowing full well everyone in the room knows that's a flat out lie:... Yeah sure. Let's go with that.
#dc#batfam#cassandra cain#stephanie brown#barbara gordon#dick grayson#dc rambles#Babs won't kill unless it's a last resort#But the no kill code doesn't hold the same meaning to her as it does to Dick and Cass#Her code is personal. Based on her own beliefs without the Bat of it all bearing down on her like a judgemental god#It's like. Killing the Joker won't destroy her the way it would Dick#But it's something she chose not to do because of her own view of the whole situation

a little divine appreciation
-
God Gale is endgame for Mayhew, and Mayhew couldn't be more pleased 😌
their mutual wizard disease brought them to some pretty low lows, but hey, ignore the tragedy, they're gods now! first order of business is a little worshiping at the altar 😏
Here's the sketch, which I also like:
Got majorly inspired by these lovely photos, one of which I used as a pose reference.
#mayhew#will have a different godly form once i settle on some details. and finish writing the fic about this#but may i just say i adore god gale? he's the worst version of himself and he'll never see it and i love that for him#plus i really love gods of volatile neutral traits like ambition that could amplify good and bad acts by turn#mayhew's portfolio is similar - curiosity. no way that could go wrong when paired with ambition! they're the questionable judgement duo#but mayhew's got an enormous heart so on the whole more good is put into the world than bad. ...usually.#can't take the wizard out of a wizard#anyway hi hello to all the god gale fans out there. there will be more fanart for sure#also can you tell I adore drawing body hair? i hope you can#my art#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#bg3#baldur's gate 3#gale x tav#gnome tav#gnomeposting#galehew

dude sub!beomgyu is so hot. but you know what's hotter? bratty, possessive sub!gyu. maybe i'm biased cuz i like my men like that but likeeeee
wanna overstimulate him so bad until he's crying and whining for more 😵💫😵💫 n he probably acts like a bitch at the start, acting all confident and dominant.. yet the second you start fucking him he just folds :(
literally pushing my obsessive sub gyu agenda on everyone but he'd probably fuck you after seeing you getting all close with someone else as a way to show dominance 😵💫 gyu seems like the type who'd overstim himself inside of you too, moaning shit like "you're mine" as he chokes on his sobs.. might as well flip him over and let him know he belongs to you only :))
anyways i'm kinda hungry 😍
warnings; sub!yandere-ish beomgyu, cockwarming, mentions of overstim? hair pulling, reader’s equally obsessive sorta, not proofread
-
You twist your sore wrist, trying to relieve the pain Beomgyu you think, or at least hope, had unintentionally inflicted. But with the way he's been increasingly needy the more time you had spent shopping, the more you're sure it was far from an accident.
So it was no surprise how fast he got you on the bed when you finally went back home.
“You’re so mean to me.” he mutters in the crook of your neck, breath hot against your skin. Beomgyu has you pinned under him, his hold unforgiving, pressing down on your body. “You do it on purpose. Make me so fucking crazy, I hate it.”
You flutter your eyes shut when his lips make contact with your sensitive flesh, the slight nip making you breathe heavier. “Beomgyu.” you try warning, to stop him from going further, but it only spurs him on.
Earlier, you stumbled upon Jeongin-- your old highschool friend, while window shopping with Beomgyu by your side. Naturally, you'd want to catch up as you haven't seen him since the last highschool reunion which was two years ago. The longer you spent enthusiastically talking, the more you felt Beomgyu's fingertip dig into your wrist.
You figured he was jealous, and when Beomgyu was jealous, he was different in the sense that he needed reassurance. A lot of it.
When he starts sucking harshly, marking all over your neck down to your collarbones, hips increasingly grinding against your clothed core, his grunts ceasing to be an act slipping his neediness against your skin, you run up your hand to the back of his head grabbing a fistful— you were always fine with his desperation to give you hickeys whenever he felt insecure, laying pliant and letting him cover you with varying purple splotches but the drawn line was always him fucking you.
And that was exactly what he was trying to do, whore.
You yank his head back and the horny dog has no shame letting the blush creep up his cheeks even when he hisses out a curse. “Who gave you the right to grind against me?”
“What? I can’t try to fuck my girlfriend but you can go around whoring with—"
He shrieks when you pull his hair again, his scalp burning, tears already brimming on his waterline. “You have such a filthy mouth pup, I ought to put it to better use, no?”
His eyes still have the audacity to look down at you. You sneer, a soft scoff escaping your lips. Beomgyu has always been one to try and dom during sex, which you wouldn’t mind if it weren’t for the fact that you knew the poor boy was weak after a single twist to his bud.
After a few beats of silence, you decide to pull him down for a quick kiss, a mix of saliva and tongue, before you abruptly stop reciprocating and Beomgyus left whimpering against your lips urging you to continue. You put your hand on his chest, getting him to reluctantly pull away. “No. You have to fix your attitude first.”
He shakes his head, “You’re the one whos been talking about Jungwoon or whatever his name is—"
“Jeongin.”
“I don’t care! You couldn’t shut up about him the entire way here! I hate it. It feels like he could sweep you off your feet when I’m not paying attention and then—and then you’ll…” his assertive demeanor cracks in a flash, his face flushed, lower lip quivering up into a pout, “You’ll leave me and, and—“
You don’t let him finish, flicking his forehead to which his hand immediately fly up to rub as if you just smacked it. “Ouch? What was that for?”
“You’re such a dumb boy.” You say shaking your head. “I mentioned Jeongin once. Once during our way here because you seemed so bothered by how we knew each other.”
You weren’t lying, proven by the way Beomgyu tries to counter your point, but closes his mouth after nothing comes out. A sly smile, and your hands already sneakily sliding up his loose hoodie, thumb finding their way to graze his already hard nipples, “Baby boy got stupid jealous just because I talked to a guy, huh?”
His arms that were holding him up, pinned next to both sides of your body had started to tremble. So fast, it was almost comical.
“Shut up. He wasn’t just some guy. He was totally into you.”
You rub his bud in circles, cooing at how his hair falls over his face, as he tries to gain composure. “Really? You thought he was checking me out too?” you tease, making sure to catch him off guard with a random pinch.
His body jerks, a strained exhale leaving his lips before hes too weak to keep himself up anymore, head falling to bury itself in the crook of your neck, getting you to feel his bulge against your thigh. He was already giving up.
“Stooop.” he whines, continuing to rub his crotch on your inner thigh. “You’re so mean to me.”
You decide to give it up, instead twirling a strand of his soft hair as he gets more and more feverish against your leg. “N-no more teasing. Have to be inside you.” he finally breathes out, a call of desperation, so needy Beomgyu was.
Beomgyu who’s too impatient to fully take off your skirt, only pulling them up before he bunches up your panties to the side, his tip barely protruding your entrance before he pushes in his red dick in, so inexperienced and stupid, shuddering as he keeps his cock buried.
“You have to move pup.” you instruct lightly, trying to fuck yourself on his dick, but it proves impossible as Beomgyu shakes his head adamantly.
His breathing is heavy, dumb mind already filled with esctasy, head finding comfort in the warmth of your shoulder, cock drilled so deep inside he might go insane with your warmth, “Wanna stay in here forever."
“And ever.” he sighs, sucking on your abused hickeys again. “So you’ll never leave.”
It should’ve been concerning, a red flag to look back on but what happens if you feel the same way? Having him only be by your side.
Beomgyu who finally starts moving, ever so slightly, moaning with each small sharp snap into you. It takes you by complete shock when his pace goes a complete 180, Beomgyu becoming crazed, his thrusts quickly becoming sharp and erratic, so similar to his humping earlier with no particular rhythm, hammering into you, each love proclamation as tears waste no time to stain his cheeks, body shuddering with his head feeling light, drool trickling down under his chin, “Mine, mine, mine. Jeongin can’t have you like this. You’re mine.”
His body presses against yours, leaving no room for breathing, kissing you so roughly, yet his soft lips are a contrast, “I only belong to you. Nobody else—ha!”
His hips stagger, lanky body once looming over you so weak and frail. “N-no! Am cumming, cumming—“ he babbles so loudly, the sight so beautiful, his lashes more pronounced with the wetness of his tears. He belongs to you, he’s right. Just pressing against where his nipples are gets him to cum prematurely. You smirk feeling smug, even when simply the sound of his cute moans has you weak. You feel his hot load shoot inside you, bad boy.
He tries to catch his breath, clearly dumb fucked, chest heaving, as he falls to your side on the bed. You don’t let the boy get away so easily after not even making sure you finished.
The terrified look in his eyes as you swiftly get on top of him, switching positions was enough for you to know that this was going to be a long fucking night.
#txt smut#beomgyu smut#txt hard hours#txt hard thoughts#sub!idol#liking your men this way is questionable but no judgement since i practically squealed when i got this ask lol#god i hate how this turned out so much any time i write on my phone it turns out garbage fuck it whatever 😂#🌷. rana thoughts

The more I consider the "Smoky gets Frostpaw sterilized against her will" thing, the more I dislike it even on a thematic level...
This book seems to be trying to put Frostpaw through an arc of learning to trust people. Riverstar magically appears in her dreams to send her to the Park Cats who are meant to teach her this lesson, but... starting and resolving that arc more than halfway through the book was sloppy, and a waste.
Instead of Smoky forcing medical treatment on her in spite of how she tells him point blank "please no," SHE should have called for the human.
A creature that the Clan cats have never trusted, that they have great reason to fear. Caught between dying with her pride like a good warrior and taking a risk on the kindness of an unknowable beast, in spite of all the betrayal, she chooses the chance.
Play it like this; Make it so the reason she becomes chosen by Riverstar at all is because he SEES this glimmer of potential within her, because of this very choice.
Instead of that bizarre opening chapter where he seems to have magically gifted her some kind of spiritual connection as a plot device, INSTEAD make it that they were sadly overseeing the end of her life. That this was her destiny, to die as a young, proud warrior apprentice. To trust no cat, as her mother told her.
But instead, she tricks the wording of the self-fulfilling prophecy Curlfeather told her. It said nothing about trusting a human!
THEN follow it up with teaching her how to trust cats again. But make the road down this character arc be something she truly initiated, instead of the weird bullshit they did with her being mad at Smoky for violating her consent while also exonerating him for "Doing The Right Thing :)"
#Asc spoilers#Thunder spoilers#Like what was the point of having Smoky do that if they weren't going to do anything with his betrayal aggravating her--#--inability to trust people#Theyre obviously trying to set up an arc here about her learning to trust#But he forced medical treatment on her AGAINST HER WILL. When she COULDNT FIGHT BACK#In general though her flaw has been that she's been TOO trusting so this whole arc feels unnecessary imo#But if we must do it. Then set it up this way#Show that over and over. She chooses to trust. Sees the good in people#If anything the park cats should be focusing more on teaching her when NOT to trust. Like... judgement.#Judgement more than the question of trust itself.#But Smoky doing that was such a profoundly bad and uncomfortable idea imo#Give Frostpaw some agency?? Please???#Instead of just having God and other people constantly pushing her towards the next quest#Come on man

ppl rarely talk about how difficult it is to question your gender in a society that treats trans people so horribly
#like. a huge part of why i'm reluctant to transition is. part of me out of self preservation is like Don't Do That because it feels#inherently unsafe#but bc that part is blocking my judgement in a way? idk how much of it is like.#idk how to phrase it. like. i don't feel like i have the space to comfortably/safely decide#esp being afab bc being a woman in this society also fucking sucks#so i don't know if i want to transition bc i hate being a woman or bc i am actually trans.#and i don't know if i Don't want to transition bc i am cis or bc i'm scared of how i'll be treated if i come out#it's so fucking confusing. trying to find yourself in a world that will be cruel to either version of you is so hard.#trans people are so so brave#if ur transitioning if ur out or stealth or whatever. god ur so brave. godspeed

Everyday goes a little something like this. I open tumblr and check the pathologic tag to find art because the vibe patho artists capture is exquisite.
I immediately see someone making fun of Daniil for having highly specific special interests that he likes talking about.
I ignore it and scroll further only to see another 5 posts calling him annoying for oh wait give me a second *rereads text posts making fun of Daniil* showing symptoms of autism.
I sigh like a depressed disappointed father. I close tumblr.
#pathologic#daniil dankovsky#making fun of him can be funny#I’ve definitely laughed at a joke at his expense more than once#but I constantly see him being ridiculed for doing things that are just blatant acts of neurodiversity#he wears specific clothes oh what a whiny spoiled city boy#he speaks a language he learned as a mandatory part of his medical education that god forbid he actually enjoyed and uses in his day to day#he’s so annoying#he doesn’t understand social cues and responds in a way that I find weird let’s all laugh#he responds to certain situations aggressively because of trauma oh what an evil bad man let’s not examine this any further#he’s just mean and that’s it#I’m so tired of seeing a character I love being mocked for the exact same things I’m mocked for in real life#he actually values sanitation and hygiene and reacts to unsanitary medical practices with sceptisim what a ignorant jerk#I know I sound bitter don’t worry I’m not oblivious to it#but I think some people saw the way the townsfolk reacted to Daniil and immediately assumed they’re all right#as if one of the main components of the game isn’t how the townsfolk are abrasive and rude to strangers and outsiders#some of you for real sound like a judgemental isolated inhabitant of the town that saw daniil and immediately decided he’s not welcome

i think i need to speak about my religion more
#swingset#i think i've had a lot of experience with the more passive aggressive types of antisemitism#things like antitheists believing that judaism is just as toxic as american christianity#things like people deriding a belief in a god they view as inherently oppressive#things like people not understanding that judaism is not christianity without jesus#that it's not all orthodox#and that orthodox judaism isn't all evil and cultish#it makes me afraid to talk about my beliefs#not because i think i'll be hunted down and lambasted#but because i'm afraid of passive judgement#i'm afraid of my friends with religious trauma distancing themselves from me because they don't understand that my love for god is different#than what they grew up with#i'm afraid that people will assume my god is harsh and cruel#i'm afraid that people won't understand my desire to engage in ritual and prayer#but#i love judaism#i love being jewish#i love god and i love that i exist and that my friends exist and that monkeys exist#and i want to be proud of that#i want to be openly excited that everything exists and everything is connected#i want to love my world freely and openly in the only way i know how#so i want to try to talk about it more#sws judaism

noticed that the ps app now shows how many hours you’ve spent on a game if youve recently played it and uh. im clearly very normal about yakuza 0
#note: the actual number is more like 400 hours because my first playthrough was on my friend’s ps4 so those hours don’t show up here#estimating it was between at least 50-60 hours so#ah the perils of a yakuza 0 completionist.#(bragging but in a pathetic way that means I really didn’t have a life this year at all)#rambling#y0#I’ve got 91 hours on y6 right now apparently but i know it’ll be over 100 sooner than later cause I need to play thru on legend mode to#get the last trophy I need to platinum it.#and surprisingly I think like 59? hours?? on judgement??? which is impressive considering I think I’m only like half way through the story#and nowhere CLOSE to completion (not that I know yet if I wanna complete/platinum it or not but we’ll see)#anywho yeah I’ve spent. a lot of time. on yakuza 0#keep in mind all of those hours are within between like. late march to sometime in july#god knows what that number would be if I had had this game since it came out in 2015
