#Idk man I just rambled

[talesofourworlds]

The fog hadn't deterred Ion from trying to cross the lake to the Great Sakura Tree. He knew it might have been foolish to go alone, but since when did he put his own needs above anyone else's? It was just something he needed to do. He'd read the advertisement. This Ivar person made it sound very important to offer thanks to Norn, and who was he to ignore such a plea?

He stepped closer.

"Great Spirit Norn..."

"I am Ion. Fon Master of the Order of Lorelei," he said, voice calm and steady. "I've come to offer my prayers and thanks for all that you do. I realize that maybe it might not mean a lot, coming from someone who's not from this village, but I promise I'm earnest in what I have to say." Slowly, the young Fon Master knelt down in front of the tree. He hadn't been certain of what to bring for a gift. Spirits could be fickle, and what exactly was 'normal' for gifts tended to vary. He just hoped that his words and presence before the tree would be enough.

"You do a lot for this village, don't you," he said. "And you must work very hard to protect everyone. I think it's incredible. It can't be easy, especially if you feel like people don't appreciate you. But... I do. You have my thanks for all the hard work you do. And I humbly ask that you accept my prayer for you."

There was no way to know if this was doing any good. At the end of the day, Ion just was doing his best. He hoped it would be enough.

AU where instead of Shen Yuan being obsessed with Luo Binghe, he's instead obsessed with the scum villain himself. I mean we all know Bingge is Very Not Good Person™ but you know who else a Very Not Good Person™? Say it with me: Shen Jiu

Like just imagine a timeline where Shen Yuan is writing paragraph after paragraph about how Shen Qingqiu might actually be a good person but Airplane is wasting his potential. The other commenters are saying he's delusional because he abused the protagonist and as all these TERRIBLE allegations towards him. So he's a clear cut villain.

But Shen Yuan is defending his fav with the vigor of a devout worshipper. He's constantly siting parts that are obvious plot holes and how they could give much needed context to Shen Qingqiu's character.

Other people are demanding for worst things to happen to Shen Qingqiu to spite him. Airplane caves. Shen Yuan actively commissions art and fics where Shen Qingqiu is happy. People tell him "Shen Qingqiu won't fuck you bro"

Shen Yuan isn't interested in that. He's a freaky little man with freaky little likes. He'd gladly take Shen Qingqiu's cold glares and even volunteer to have tea poured on him.

When he finishes PIDW, he's been outraged that Shen Qingqiu was killed off a while back. He's even more outraged that Shen Qingqiu wasn't given any mention at the end.

Now, imagine with me that he gets transmigrated into some NPC, literally Unimportant Character No°5. Probably as the head disciple for drama reasons. And as soon as Shen Jiu is brought in, scruffy and hissing as he is. He immediately hugging his thighs and saying he'll be peak lord for sure.

Please follow me into this suspicious alleyway as I continue to explain my vision fueled by sleep deprivation.

So now imagine your Shen Jiu. You're a former street rat and demonic cultivator, you aren't expecting to be liked or respected. You're expecting it, you've come to terms with it a long time ago. What you weren't expecting was for this random ass guy you have to call da-shixiong is immediately insane about you.

He met you first day, literally saw you bite a guy, and immediately started spouting out how you'll be the next peak lord and the absolute envy of Cang Qiong Mountain. You conclude he's missing a few screws because he said it in the most disgustingly sincere way.

You try to continue on with your life, trying to beat him and he looks almost... Excited about you beating him. So he's an M, you think to yourself. But then you see someone trying to beat him or you on something, and this guy immediately gets aggressive. Okay so he's just weird with you.

You continue to deal with him. He's weird but also weirdly respectful. He leaves if you tell him to leave. He defends you like it's his very birth right. He's always there to tend to you as if you were a god. He doesn't touch you and only sits around like a dog waiting for a command.

You eventually get strong enough to beat him, and this absolute buffoon is over the moon about it, already spouting about your supposed success again.

When you actually become peak lord, it isn't surprising. Your hype man has been saying it since day one, he was expecting it for some reason. He continues to spout out nonsense about how he just knew you were going to do it.

So what now? You obviously desire him carnally. What is the next step?

Okay so I know this wouldn't fix them. Almost without question this would make they both worse. But, hear me out, it would be funny. (Especially since just know Shen Yuan's entire inner monologue would be him saying he's just being a good friend as if he isn't being the gayest man in the sect and Shang Qinghua is there. That's an accomplishment to outgay the author)

qPhilza perching on people because bird

qFit: Mans is built like a brick shithouse—he can totally balance Phil’s additional weight. The first attempt is a bit shaky, sure, but nowadays Phil swoops down or hops up onto Fit’s shoulder and all Fit really has to do is jut out his elbow to give his friend a little more space for his talons to work with. Bam, he’s perched. Works out about 9.9 times out of 10, though Phil delights in trying to catch him off guard.

qEtoiles: He doesn’t have Fit’s bulk on his side, so he’s not as sturdy, but he is strong. The landing is usually a little rough since Etoiles has to work a bit harder to counterbalance the additional weight, but he always finds that center of gravity in no time flat. Phil usually perches with one talon on each of Etoiles’ shoulders since he’s not as w i d e, just so Phil can have a little extra grip. At some point, Etoiles tries fighting a mob while Phil is perched on him, and that goes exactly as well as you would expect.

qForever: Honestly, with all of the hard labor Forever does for his big builds, Phil was expecting him to do better, but the first (several) attempts end up with Forever stumbling over and knocking Phil off of him from his wild arm-pinwheeling. They eventually figure out it’s more doable if Forever himself has something to lean on (a wall, a chair, the butt of his pickaxe) and Phil puts one talon evenly spaced on each shoulder. Phil learns some new swears in Portuguese in the process.

qMissa: Flattened. Full-on face in the floor, mouth full of grass, wind knocked out of his lungs at Mach 5 the first time Phil tries. Phil apologizes profusely, but Missa—once he can breathe again—just rolls over onto his back and asks Phil if they can give it another try. It takes a long, LONG time, but they figure out that if Phil plants his talons on Missa’s shoulder pads and leans forward while Missa leans back, they have a small little window of time where they achieve balance. The best part? Phil gets a perfect view of Missa’s goofy little grin every single time.

hmmmm I’m thinking about Steve Harrington who’s always been a service dom by default. Who just wants to please his partners in any way he can. And as he explores his sexuality more he realizes he quite likes being a service sub as well. He flourishes under his dom’s directions and is endlessly thrilled by the praise he receives when he does a good job. And he always does a good job. But he never quite relaxes enough to stop being the one serving.

Until Eddie.

Eddie Munson with his deep voice and warm laugh and kind dark eyes. Eddie who sees right through him and understands that what Steve really needs is to be given the full pillow princess treatment. Eddie who makes it his mission to get the boy to melt under him no matter how long it takes.

And it doesn’t take long in the end. Steve breaks after just one full afternoon of slow grinding, soft kisses, and strong hands with practiced ringed fingers handling his body with so much care he could cry. Eddie has him pinned to his soft mattress but he’s not rushing for climax, just taking his sweet time and worshiping his body, showering him with praise in that delicious voice that makes Steve’s head go fuzzy.

“Thats it sweetheart, just let me take care of you. My good boy.”

Steve crumbles all at once, his pretty brown eyes all glossy with tears that collect on his lashes and finally spill over. He’s stuffed so full of love that it bursts out from him in heaving sobs. Dizzy and shattered from the feeling of being so cherished. Cherished, for once not for what he can do, but just for being him.

He whimpers as he comes down in between kisses, and he sniffles as Eddie sits behind him in the bath and gently washes his hair. And when he’s all wrapped up in Eddies strong arms and soft words and sweet kisses, nestled under warm clean sheets, he finally lets out a long shaky sigh before falling into the most restful sleep he’s had in a very long time.

projecting my adhd forgetfulness onto leo valdez in the way he has to set alarms for literally everything.

probably made some sort of silly little machine that starts making phone alarm noises while projecting a reminder on a screen or something just so he doesnt forget to ask for something from another camper, or so that he remembers to change before going out on a hangout with jason n piper, or so that he remembers to do some sort of assignment or remembers to charge something.

jason's hanging out with him and suddenly something starts playing a little jingle or a full on alarm and jason is jumpscared, asking what the fuck it is when leo pulls out this little alarm clock with a screen and goes "ah styx i need to go get something from the store we just passed"

You know, I would love it if we get to see shadows medical failure guilt expanded on, it makes sense he would have a lot , he has a lot of deadly, raging guilt inside of him, survivors guilt, creation guilt, the guilt of past mistakes that almost destroyed entire planets ect, and the guilt of failing someone you were medically responsible for. I want too see that guilt of failure expanded on, Shadow is the ultimate cure, he sees himself as a tool, a weapon, a twisted distortion of a miracle for someone else, a creation to surpass all else for no one but his friend, pushing himself through endless tests, doing anything he was told to do for the sake of his only friend, his best friend, the only true friend he’d know for a long time. The weight of pressure and anxiety crushing him out of fear of failing Maria , not being able to save her from the conditions she faced, not being able to cure her, not living up to the only worth he was created to have. I want to see that expanded on , I want to see how absolutely crushing that guilt of failure is, during their time on the Ark, and the awful , doubled up guilt of the aftermath , the guilt of it all rooted in his most familiar failure. its a important part of his story, and I for one would love to see it expanded on .

I would like to remind people that Chilchuck hasn't seen his wife in 4 years.

So he maybe wasn't there to see his daughters become adults, but he was there for the majority of their childhood.

When he left, Mayjack and Flertom were 12, and Puckpatty was 10. They reach adulthood at 14, so maybe yes, he was absent when they were still kids, but that doesn't mean he didn't maintained contact with them afterwards as far as I know. The thing he uses around his neck was a gift from Flertom, and he was using it when he met Laios's party.

[divine-misfortune]

Phantom stripped down sitting in Swiss' lap, held in place by an arm around his waist while Swiss strokes him, a little uninterested in whatever fuck porn Swiss found to throw up on the computer monitor but he's just floating happy to be touched

And maybe he whines when Swiss edges him a few times, nothing too hard or mean, not today, not for his sweet little bug

But the videos start getting weirder, at first progressively but then it's just sudden, and it makes Phantom feel funny, not in the good way or the bad way just...weird

Swiss keeps cooing though, sickly sweet, stroking while he squirms

And then it's too much for Phantom's tastes, videos where the subs look thoroughly used and abused, pathetic, and there's a sudden pit in his stomach and Swiss is pushing him towards the edge again and christ his tongue feels so heavy in his mouth trying to remember how to speak properly

'W-wait, im gonna, oh fuck. Don't make me. Don't make me cum to this. It's - it's weird, Swiss please I don't want to cum to this-"

But oh Swiss insists he does- 'look at how it's drooling' - as he milks out another mortifying bead of pre, Phantom shakes his head when Swiss asks 'oh bug, you're a little fucked up huh? Like watching people get hurt? Didn't want anyone to know did you?'

As much as he babbles and begs, Swiss doesn't relent, pushes him headfirst into an orgasm that puts spots in his vision, tears brimming in his eyes from the sick sense of shame, shuddering through the aftershocks listening to that depravity spill through the speakers

Swiss just kisses his temple, grinning ear to ear as he continues to play with Phantom's softening cock

'Now...What are you gonna do to make sure I keep your dirty little secret to myself baby? Better make it worth my while'

(text from this post, fic is little kid with a big death wish by @remedyturtles)

i'm genuinely not sure where to start here - ig first of all this fic is absolutely incredible and if you somehow haven't read it yet you absolutely should!

okay. man. rem, this fic means so so much to me and i'm so glad i got to be here for it. i think this is one of those fics that'll stick with me years down the line even if one day i'm not into tmnt anymore, one i'll come back to over and over again

your writing has touched so so many people myself very much included, and i just. want to thank you so much for writing this fic and thank you for sharing it. you're an amazing writer and an amazing person and i'm lucky to know you. i can't wait to see what you do next

[saltpepperbeard]

no because really, i think stede is operating in a way he thinks will win him respect. i think he's operating in a way he thinks is the expectation. i don't think he likes it, and i don't think it's "him," but i think he enjoys the positive reinforcement from everyone around him. he's literally never had that before in his life.

he was bullied as a child for what he enjoyed. he was cast aside by his father for being himself. the crew threatened to mutiny against him or even just flat-out kill him because he was too "weak."

and here he is trying to pull himself up out of maelstrom of mistakes. "he's been a failure his whole life." he's trying to do everything he can to rectify that. he wants to be the lighthouse for his crew. he wants to be a good captain. he wants to be a good pirate. he wants to be a good lover. he wants to be something.

and he was actually getting there himself--he just didn't realize it. listening to his crew more, showing them kindness, leading them when they were lost and had no place to go, putting his own grief on hold and taking back the revenge...

he was getting there! but still, he was surrounded by those haunting expectations, by the fear that it wasn't enough.

the whole conversation between he and ed where ed is encouraging him to command respect/be tougher. the whole conversation between he and izzy where izzy says he's "never met anyone with a total lack of skills." zheng saying that she didn't "conquer china by letting people go on and on about their feelings."

not to mention the goading from ned. "once you kill me, you're a real pirate. you're not an amateur." "see? that's why he likes you. your bumbling amateur status."

it all keeps swimming circles around him, looming above his head like a shadow.

he thinks he has something more to prove. he thinks he has to be more. even though his own methods work, like ned's crew turning on him simply because stede showed kindness and understanding, all these phantoms keep telling him it isn't enough and that the other methods are more effective.

because he kills, and looks visibly shaken by it, but his crew cheers. he grabs ed by the collar despite them wanting to take things slow, and they grow intimate. he walks into jackie'z after it all, a place where he was previously banished from, and is treated like a sort of pirate hero.

it's not him. "we don't just banish people, do we? that's not us."

but it's encouraged. it's celebrated. so he thinks it should be.

Oh my god it’s been forever

Anyway-

I am on board with the idea that Kyojurou got an immediate crush on Giyu upon his first Hashira meeting

[el-pada]

why is it always my splatoon art being stolen bruhh, just had to deal with an ig account who was getting 5 times the attention off of my stuff

hell even before the game released a random game news site used my first ever deep cut drawing as if it was a game asset, atleast it just took 1 email to make them take it down
