📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰 Contractual Obligations: A Love Story in Three Traffic Lights (shaenie) - 56K, White Collar threesome, getting together - I loved all the backstory of how Peter & El had been chasing/wooing Neal all along (and the crimes everyone committed along the way)

😍 some sweet violent urge series (voxofthevoid) - 42K, Avengers WS Bucky/modern Steve - roommates to lovers with a D/s vibe - incredibly romantic & tender and also absolutely filthy [reread of pts 1&2, new pt3]

The Gold of Your Body (azephirin) - The Old Guard: Kaysanova, 11K - sometimes devout Catholicism leads to kink discovery

just to see each other (feel it all) (susiecarter) - Top Gun: Maverick/Iceman, 35K - absolutely loved this Pacific Rim AU

Organized Konfusion - "Stress: Extinction Agenda"

Album Review

A NY hip-hop duo of Pharoah Monch and Prince Po. This actually their 2nd album.

It was released in 1994, but I didn't start listening to it until some years later.

I remember listening to this late at night in the studio when I was at Art School.

I have always had this custom of working and listening to music to help me get through it or give me energy. I am probably not alone in that.

When I was 14 or so, I would help my Aunt and Uncle at their photo studio. My job was to separate photos from picture frames. Their business was school photography. There were 1,000s of these. I would work for 8 hours a day while listening to music on headphones. I remember playing a lot Public Enemy Fear of a Black Planet. They would take me out for lunch. I always had a BLT.club sandwich and a coke.

Then from when I was 16 to 18, I worked at this sandwich shop. At some point my job became food prep. I used to slice meat and wrap it into small packages so it was easier to make individual sandwiches. They had a stereo in the back that I could play tapes on. It was a lot of hip-hop. I also used to draw my graffiti name on the big Saran wrap boxes.

I have always had this thing for music. I just tap into this sound and get lost.

Eminem: Hip-hop saved my life

"Can y’all hear me? I can’t hear me. Can you hear me?

"This s--t’s crazy. So I wrote some s--t down tonight that I’m never going to f---ing remember, so I had to read it off the paper and s--t, but it’s from the heart. I realize what an honor it is right now for me to be up here tonight, and what a privilege it is to do the music that I love, and the music that basically saved my life.

"Where'd the man, where did Dre go? The man who saved my life, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. motherf---in’ Dre. So I'm going to try to make this as quick and painless as possible. I’m f---ing stuttering and s--t, I mean Jesus Christ.

"So I’m probably not supposed to actually be here tonight because of a couple of reasons. One of them that I’m a rapper, and this is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And there’s only a few of us right now that have been inducted in already, but there’s only a few of us.

"Secondly, I almost died from an overdose in 2007, which kind of sucked. Hailie, plug your ears: because drugs were f---ing delicious, and I thought we had a good thing going man, but I had to go and f--- it all up and take too many. God d--n. OK Hailie.

"OK, so. Hold on, I lost my motherf---in' spot. Paul, did I say, I said drugs were delicious, right? And finally, I had to really fight my way through man to try and break through in this music, and I'm so honored and I'm so grateful that I'm even able to be up here doing hip-hip music, man, because I love it so much.

And they say you won't work a day if you love your job and s--t. This part I'm not crazy about? But, OK.

"My musical influences are many, and they say it takes a village to raise a child. Well it took a whole genre and culture to raise me.

"They say success has many fathers, and that’s definitely true for me. So whatever my impact has been on hip-hop music, I never would have or could have done this s--t without some of the groundbreaking artists that I'm about to mention right now.

"And this is a list man, I put this list together yesterday. And I kept adding to the s--t, adding to the s--t, and if I forget anybody, I apologize. But these were my teachers right here:

"I'm gonna start with the 2 Live Crew, 2Pac, 3rd Bass, Alliance, Apache, Audio Two — Milk Dee, what up! — Awesome Dre, the Beastie Boys, Big Daddy Kane, Big Pun, Big L, Biz Markie, the Notorious B.I.G. of course, Black Moon, the Boogie Monsters, Brand Nubian, Brother J from X Clan, Buckshot, Casual from Heiroglyphics, Chill Rob G, Chubb Rock, Chuck D and Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, D-Nice, Dana Dane, De La Soul — now I’m about a third of the way done.

"De La Soul, did I say De La Soul? Def Jef, Del the Funky Homosapien, DJ Quik, Dr. Dre of course, Dres from Black Sheep, Ed O.G., EPMD, Fat Boys, Fat Joe, Fu-Schnickens, Gang Starr, Geto Boys, Heavy D, House of Pain, Ice Cube, Ice-T, the Intelligent Hoodlum, JJ Fad, Jaz-O, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Just Ice, K-Solo, Kid & Play: I'm a tenth of the way done.

"King Sun, King Tee, Kool G Rap, Kool Moe Dee, KRS-One, Kwame, Lakim Shabazz, Large Professor, Leaders of the New School, the one and only LL Cool J — love you bro. Lord Finesse, Lords of the Underground, Mantronix, Masta Ace, MC Breed, MC Lyte, MC Shan, Melle Mel, Merciless Ameer, Mobb Deep, Monie Love, Nas, Newcleus, Onyx, Organized Konfusion, Outkast, Andre 3000, Paris, Pharcyde, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Redhead Kingpin, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, I’m almost done.

"Redman, Roxanne Shante, Run-D.M.C., Salt-N-Pepa, Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh, Snoop Dogg, Souls of Mischief, Special Ed, Stetsasonic, now I’m all down to the S’s. Super Lover Cee and Casanova Rud, the D.O.C., the Roots, Black Thought, the Skinny Boys, Tony D, Too $hort, Treach from Naughty By Nature, A Tribe Called Quest, U.T.F.O., Whodini, Wise Intelligent and the Poor Righteous Teachers, Wu-Tang Clan and YZ.

"Those were my rock stars man, and I just want to say, like, those are just a few of the names that I hope will be considered in the future for induction. Because without them, a lot of us wouldn’t be here. I know I wouldn’t.

"So that’s all I had to say, man. I know this induction is supposed to be me talking about myself and s--t man, but f--- that. I would not be here without them. I’m a high school dropout man, with a hip-hop education, and these were my teachers. And it's their night just as much as it is mine. So thank you."

Hip-hop saved Eminem's life, he saved mine! Congratulations Em, and Thank You!!

Happy Belated Anniversary to the Zotash Discord Server, first of all I would like to apologize. I should have posted this a while ago(life got in the way).

This was a collab project that I did with other fellow artists @konfuse and @reb-qal. The prompt was "The strawhats are on an island, Zoro gets lost like usual but he finds himself a nice bar. But to his surprise he also finds Tashigi working there. Tashigi has an undercover mission and is trying her best to prevent Zoro from Blowing her cover." Now the story of why we made it a barber instead of a bar is because when we were originally discussing this, someone thought they heard barber instead of a bar. So we just decided to run with that.

Again apologizes for posting this so late. To my fellow artist, don't ever stop drawing, you guys make amazing work❤️.

Also the writers of the discord chat also wrote a Fanfiction for this prompt: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30907922/chapters/76323614#workskin

Nanajo's Guide to Taking Care of a Child; Year 1; Situation 6: Taking Your Child to Work and Trying Not to Get Fired or Killed

Honestly, surprised at how many people actually like this series

---

"Okay, how do we not get killed?"

"Well, it seems inevitable."

"Maybe not."

Kento sent a look over to Satoru, except it wasn't anger or disdain. It was... concern. Satoru cocked an eyebrow.

"I really don't want you to get killed. Please stay safe and say the right words."

Satoru frowned. Kento was serious, but this was different. It made Satoru feel bad. He nodded and patted Kento's hand.

"Yeah, I will."

Satoru continued walking to the office that held the principal and entered the room. He sat down in the chair in front of the principal, staring at the ground.

"Satoru Gojo."

"Yes sir."

"Do you know why you're here"

Satoru was about to answer with a joke until he heard, "Stay safe and say the right words."

Satoru sighed, "The kid Kento and I are taking care of swallowed Sukuna's finger. I was irresponsible and wasn't paying attention when he did so. I apologize."

"Surprisingly mature of you, Satoru. Where is the child?"

"With Kento right now. He's still alive and doesn't seem like he was affected by the finger."

"Seems like it?"

"He did swallow it yesterday. We haven't seen anything odd or out of place happen. He's been his usual self."

The principal nodded and watched Satoru. His gaze was still cast down and he was avoiding eye contact. The principal had never seen him like this. He was nervous, and it showed. When he inspected closer, the principal saw that his infinity was around him. He could tell by the way he sat in the chair. He wasn't actually sitting on it, hovering above it, actually.

He was on alert.

"Okay... since this is the first time you've screwed something up and you're really diligent and a good sorcerer, I will punish you, but not as severely."

Satoru nodded. Not even a sex joke? This was kinda scaring him.

"You will be put on a week of house arrest and you must be with Yuuji all hours of the day and report if anything changes in him."

Gojo stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Yaga-san."

The young man walked out of the room after being dismissed. He walked down the hall to where Kento was.

"Oh thank god," Kento breathed, "Yaga-san had mercy."

"Yeah..."

"Hey. are you okay?"

Satoru looked up at Kento's face. He took off his glasses and set them on Yuuji's head. Yuuji was asleep on one of the benched, but Satoru was focused on Kento's eyes.

He had beautiful brown eyes that Satoru could get lost in. They were so dark one could mistake them for black, but he loved them...

"Satoru?"

The taller wasn't thinking when he leaned in and softly kissed Kento. He wasn't thinking when he pulled him closer so he could deepen the kiss.

Kento wasn't think when he wrapped his arms around Satoru's neck. He wasn't thinking when he let Satoru push him against the nearby wall.

They weren't thinking when they decided to make out against the wall.

A soft set of footsteps sounded down the hall before there was a soft, "Oh my fucking god."

The two young men pulled away and saw Suguru Geto standing there, a disgusted look stuck on his face.

"Don't you two have a place you live, kiss there! Ugh!" He sped down the hall, keep his eyes down.

When he walked away Satoru let out a surprised laugh. He began cackling and before long, Kento was right there with him. They held themselves on the wall as they laughed about what just happened.

"He's right, we should go back home..." Kento sighed, the first one to stop laughing.

Satoru nodded and picked up Yuuji, handing Kento his glasses. he was pretty sure that if he saw Kento's eyes again, he would be forced to make out with him again.

"Yeah... c'mon."

“did that person just take a picture of us?” (I forgot to add with the last one! Frobin :3)

All right, here we go! Sorry for any mistakes (the other fic will take even longer XD) 

Edit: find it on Ao3 (corrected and better) here https://archiveofourown.org/works/20605325

---

“Did that person just take a picture of us?” Franky turned around to search for the person but they had already vanished in the mass of people, walking towards the place where the festival was supposed to happen.

“Yes,” Robin didn’t even turn. Right now she took care to stay just beside Franky. They had already lost the rest of the crew in the crowd. She just hoped that neither Zoro or Luffy were alone. The rest would be fine. 

“Weird.” 

“They weren’t the first either.”

“Seriously? Why?” 

Robin shrugged lightly: “I can only guess…”

“And what is your guess? One guess of yours is most of the time more accurate than a long investigation.” 

The archeologist smiles at the compliment. 

“I don’t think they are the official Marine photographer. One normally does not see them. I also don’t think they are press, though that might still be possible. Actually I think they are just… fans.” 

“Fans? Wha…,”Franky frowned, trying to figure out what Robin meant. 

“Yes. Fans. We’re rather well known, after all.”

The crowd became more dense so Robin decided to hold onto Franky’s shirt, while he took care to keep her between his arms to shield her from everyone. She continued: ”Do you remember the article about you in Shipwright Monthly?”

“Yeah. Robin, I’m going to sit you on my shoulder, okay?”

There wasn’t really a way to continue with the flow but Franky was massive enough to continue, just not with Robin in front of him. 

“Okay,” she let herself lift up. It wasn’t like she didn’t love to sit on his shoulder after all. “And do you remember the portrait about you in ‘Robot & Cyborg Monthly’?”

“Of course!” the pride evident in his voice. 

“A lot of people know us and see us as famous pirates and experts in our respective fields. And if they see us as such paragons, of course they would want to have a picture of us.”

Franky continued his way, careful not to hurt anyone hearing the gasps and whispers when they recognized these two Strawhats. 

“All right, I think I understand. There have been at least 5 other people, taking pictures of us.” 

“I’m actually surprised they don’t ask for our signatures,” Robin was looking around seeing the center of the festival. Bright lanterns could be seen and food booths gave off delicious, sugary and fat smells.  

“Don’t evoke it,” Franky laughed, feeling Robin absentmindedly threading her fingers through his hair.

“The entry is over there. People getting in rather fast. I wonder if the rest is inside already,” Robin spied up. They would be inside in ten or less minutes.

“There is food, women, games, booze, sweets. Of course they are there. I wonder if people took pictures of the too…?”

“Probably.” 

Robin laughed and then bent over to give Franky a kiss on his lips. 

“H… hey? What is up with that? You’re normally not one for pda. And what if someone took a photo of that?”

Robin laughed again. 

“Well, who knows? Maybe then it was time for our little secret to become public.”

Franky sighed and continued to wait to get onto the festival place. 

---

A few days later: 

“Dude! I have a picture of Franky and Robin kissing!” 

“Who are Franky and Robin? Friends of yours?” the boy just looked up from his comic and at his sister who just came out of her dark room, flipping through the freshly developed pictures. 

“Ha! Yeah I wish! No! The crewmembers from the Strawhat pirates!” 

She looked at her brother with big eyes, not believing what treasure she held in her hands. Slowly the coin dropped.

“DUDE!” 

“YEAH!” 

“KISSING?!” 

“YEEEAHHHH!!!” 

“SHIIIIIIT!!!” 

“WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?!” 

“SELL IT TO THE TABLOIDS!!” 

“WE’RE GOING TO BE RICH!!” 

“HOLY CRAP!!” 

--- 

Another week later on Sunny: 

Nami rushed towards Robin, throwing the magazine on the table, beside the lounging chair, wildly gesturing towards it. 

Robin carefully put the book she was reading to the side and then examined the article on the open page.

“DEVIL CHILD AND CYBORG SEEING KISSING IN PUBLIC - ARE THEY AN ITEM?!”

“At the apple festival on Strudel-Island where not only the famous Strawhats spotted but two of the members were seen exchanging affections, while waiting to get inside. Are Franky the Cyborg and Devil Child Nico Robin actually dating?! 

Nico Robin is considered one of the most dangerous…” 

Robin smiled, hardly containing the laughter, while she looked up at Nami, who had her arms spread and was obviously angry. 

“ROBIN?! WHAT THE FUCK?! WE COULD HAVE SOLD THAT OURSELVES!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE LOST??”

Robin started to laugh.

The strawhats are on an island, Zoro gets lost like usual but he finds himself a nice bar. But to his surprise he also finds Tashigi working there. Tashigi has an undercover mission and is trying her best to prevent Zoro from blowing her cover.

Pretty clear, right? But wait, did you say bar, or barber?

Adventures With Theo - 04-12-2012, 04:24 AM

Well, today I have to find me a job, 'kuz even though I am sorta rich... I got those 956 simoleons that I found under that mattress, doncha know! And I hided them in a pickle jar out behind my new houz. Oops! Guess I shouldn't have told you that. But you don't know that I hided them under that tree, so it's okay, doncha think? Leastways, I think it is. Anyways, I learnt early on, that simoleons don't last long in today's echonomy. So's I got to find some work I can do. Ispecialty, since I do want to go back home. Out-there spazes is not as fun as I thought it would be. For real! (And, you want to know a sekrit? I'm beginnin to think that maybe... just maybe, Mr. Spock might be a made-up Sim. Yeah! I know. It was hard for me to admit it at first too! But I've been lookin and lookin real hard like, and I haven't seen him anywhere! I even went to their Galactik Stores here, thinkin he might be there, sinz he has his face on all those sereal boxes. But no luck!) But back to my job search...I could prabably get work at the local diner, since I do know how to cook some, thanks to Emma Hatch. But I'm thinkin those Sims I met, might member me, and wonder why a famous geeky-guy Sim, was workin at a diner, doncha know! Same with the grocery store and bookstore. Akyuality, it's a prablem with all the stores here. I mean, I'm guessin those Sims go into the stores to buy stuff, and they might see me! So, I don't know what to do. But the good news is, I think I may have figyered out how to konfusicate them, a bit. I went ahead and chanjed my peerance! Yes I did! And all on my ownself. It's not as good as a prof...profess... real styler remakeable, but it'll have to do, 'kuz 'til my broked komputer is fixed, I'm tough out of luck, as Kayana would say. And that "Handiness for Dummies" book I got, is real hard to onderstand. I mean really, really hard! I read the first chapter, then tried to fix my komputer and almost got elektrikal-shooted! For real! I can tell you, it was scary! So's until I can figyer it out, my komputer will have to stay broked. Ooooooh! Ooooooh! Ooooooh! I almost fergotted! But I had this crazy dream. Leastways, I think it was a dream. I might be wrong, 'kuz I was asleep at the time. But in it, this Tedhi lady, from I'm guessin Champs Les Sims, 'kuz of her Frenchified accident, teeveportated me to her world! Not Champs Les Sims, but some other plaz she made up on her ownsome. And let me tell you! It was scary! For real!! I mean, I knowed it was a dream, I think, but it could've been real, doncha know! And that simbot, who kept sayin he was a thingiebot... Well, I think he musta been tellin me a fib, 'kuz Annie told me there's only simbots and simdroids. The rest are all just scrap metal and good to eat! And she should know, 'kuz she's a real, live simdroid bio-enjined by some geeky guys back in Sunset Valley, before it became illegal-like. Anyways, in my dream, this thingiebot, had this talkin cat, named Samkat, that he kept callin, "The Boss." But that can't be right, 'kuz the only Samkat I ever heard about, is that Supreme Empress Goddess of the Universe Samkat, that all them Llama Monkeys yammer on and on about. And she don't have no piktures or models of herself, 'kuz them monkeys of hers, say that that's making a crazy image, and it's against their rules. And I know that's for real, 'kuz I visited one of their monkeries once, and there weren't any piktures in sight! No talkin cats ether!

But there was this Sim outside, who was sellin T-shirts, that he made on his ownsome. He said he had to do it on the “sly,” ‘kuz samkat’s monkeys don’t like his crazy imagers of her.

Anyways, he even had a song about her, that he taught me. Oh! I'll sing it to you, 'kuz I sing real, real good doncha know. I do! And I wrote it down, jist so's I wouldn't fergit it. 'Kuz there are more than one verzhen. Yes, there are! But I like this one the bestest. "Grouchy kitty, crabby kitty, spittin ball of fur. Moody kitty, cranky kitty....Grr, grr, grr!"

Anyway, what was I saying..? Oh yeah! That thingiebot told me his name was Juicy Pinko....or somethin like that. It's hard to member when you're sleepin and argyooing with a mouthy cat and a pile of scrap metal, all at the same time. No lie! That Juicy Bot kept yammerin about beerd ladies. But I didn't see no beers. There was some ladies, but no beers in sight! And his cat kept hissin about hats. Or maybe it was rats? I can't rightly tell you, 'kuz I was busy watchin that thingiebot's mouse-stache wiggle up and down when he talked. I don't know what that was all about! (But you want to know a sekrit? I don't think that mean thingiebot gives his poor kitty any water, 'kuz she had to get some out of the toilet! Which is not as bad as it sounds, 'kuz I seen her flush it first, then purefry it with a kouple bottles of Sandy Whiskey, that I'm guessing she got from over at that ATS3 plaz on-the-line. And she musta liked it real good, 'kuz she jumped up on this top-hat and did a little dance! I thought at first that she mighta had some fleas, 'kuz cats get them, doncha know! But Mr. Juicy said, "The Boss does NOT have fleas!! Master always dances that jig after she's had a few too many!" Whatever that means.

Then right before I waked up, I was wearin this really cool Starzfleas unefarm. And let me tell you, I was h-o-t-t, HOT!!! I even liked my bunny ears, even though Captain Kirk won't let you wear them on his ship. Ain't regularation, doncha know! But they were all festive like, which was good, 'kuz it was Easter. But that crazy cat went off her nut, and started hissin' and spittin' and growlin' all meanlike! (I can see why that Sim made them T-shirts and wroted that song!) Then she snatched my hat offed my head, and ran meowin out of the room! It was konfusical, I can tell you! All I can figyer is, is that kitty thought it was a real rabbit, tryin to eat my head off. And she thought she was savin me. I tried to tell her, it was okay, but I woke up. And I was back here, with no unefarm and no hat. And that's real sad, 'kuz I looked really, really h-o-t-t, Hot! And those Starfleas unefarms cost a lot of simoleons. More'n I got. Plus, you got to order them on-the-line, from a speshel site, and until my komputer is fixed, I'm tough out of luck!

Anyways, I had to do my own remakeable, with the junky kloz I got layin around here. I don't think I did too bad with it, konsiderin I only had those kloz that were in the dresser, to work with. It's not as nice as my dream one, but what can a girl do? I went ahead and cut my hair with this knife I found, 'kuz I don't have a sizzors... Want to know a stranj thing I read, in that "Murder in Pleasantview" book? Seems back in my grandparents' day, they had giant sizzors that the Sims used to run around with! No lie! That's how that murder happened! Guess that's why the Electrojabber-Authority folks stopped makin them. 'Korz, with the prices in their kompany store, I couldn't afford them anyways. Which is why I used that knife, so my hair's kinda choppity looking. But I found this really nice hat that's got this veil, that I can hide behind when I go out, so that's good. No rabbit ears, but it's got this fake flour. Bad news was, the dresser didn't have any pants. Yeah, I thought that was weird too. So's I have to wear this jumper. It's okay, I guess, but I like pants beder, 'kuz they're great for when you have to climb out of windoz and stuff. And let me tell you, I've climbed out lots of windoz so's as not to be stuck with bar tabs and stuff. Oops! Guess I shouldn't be 'mittin that ether....

Anyway, guess I'll go into town and find me a job. Then, after I gets some more simoleons, and read the second chapter in my handy book, maybe I'll be able to get me one of them unefarms. Maybe...

So, I desided to try the diner after all, sinz I ain't got any spearience doing nothin else. I mean, I can pick some locks, but most Sims don't think that's a good skill. I think they might be wrong, 'kuz it's gotten me out of lots of jams, but like Kayana always says, "Every Sim has an 'pinion, just like they all have behinds." I don't really know what that means, but it sounds kinda good, doncha think!

Anyways, I went to the diner, but they're not hirin. So I didn't get that job. But I did meet a bunch of nice Sims, and they invited me to tag along to a new dance dome that's opened up in town.

And guess what! While I was showin them aleeon Sims how to shimmy, in walked Mr. Spock!!!! How cool is that!!! He was argyooin with some Vulcan girl, about needin to go to bed, 'kuz of pony farts. But I didn't care! He was there!

So, I went up to him, all kazual-like, and intredoozed myself all charmin' like, 'kuz I've got three charmin' skills. (I've been sekritly praktesing for this day in front of my bathroom mirror, doncha know!) But he didn't seem too happy to meet me, which is weird, doncha think! Ikspeciality since I told him, we was detained to be married!

But I don't think he beleeved me about gettin hitched, 'kuz he got all cold-like to me. So, I told him how I watched all his TV shows and movies, and knowed all about his 'ventures out in spaz. But he got all weird-like, and told me, he was not some "cheap TV character," and that I'd "better get lost" before he called the Peekeepers.

That's when I desided to show him I wasn't "just some crazy fan-girl" - like he 'cused me of bein - but his one and only truelove. So's I whipped out some flours I had in my sekrit pocket, and I tried to give them to him. To seal the deal, doncha know! (Want to know a sekrit? At first I was goin to just give him the engager ring I got for him, but what with him thinkin I wasn't seereaz, I desided to try the red rosies first. Do you think maybe, I made a booboo?)

Well, he got all nasty-like, and started yammerin bout his pony farts again, and that he already had a mate. So, I told him, I didn't care that he had a fartin pony. I came there to marry him, not his pony! And iffn his shipmate was so portant to him, she was sertainly welkomed to come to our weeding.

Well, that really set him off, I can tell you! He started turnin all green-like and said some nasty words about my telligents. Which got me mad. I mean, I know I'm not as smart as a Vulcan, but I'm not stoopid. I got that one logikgal point, after all. So's I told him he wasn't such a smartypants if he couldn't see his truelove, when she was standin there right in front of him. That really got him mad, I can tell you! He clenched his fists and everythin! "How many times, must I tell you, I already have a mate, you idiot?!! And for the last time, it's PON FARR! Not pony farts!"

CYL 2 ranks, part 2

ok time to see where my more well-known and my underappreciated children ranked... I’m actually kinda nervous ;_;

the girl’s side of the voting was a much closer fight for the top spots, as expected.

Veronica beat out Camilla so closely! Wow, people really seemed to jump on it when they saw she had a chance! Good on you, Veronica fans!

Camilla did get more votes than last year overall though!

still crying a little for Marth fans because wow, that hurts, even me who doesn’t even really know Marth... counting his two appearances together, he’d be snugly between Hector and Celica...

even counting split votes for other candidates, I think Hector is the clear winner

I’m pretty sure Eirika lost quite some votes after her (honestly, really random) alt version for the SS banner was revealed DURING the voting.

would’ve been pretty cute to have both Eirika and Ephraim or Alm and Celica in the top 2 but alas

Tharja really fell far, I wonder what happened? Are her fans satured with her Heroes appearances after all? (interestingly this does not seem to apply to Camilla)

interestingly, many Awakening and even Fates characters seem to have dropped down, except for the ever-popular Camilla and Azura... and the Hoshidan princes? I guess that really shows players want more of THEM compared to the many Nohr alts (same with Leif and Myrrh in the intermediate results placing so high, I think people just really wanted them already!)

Reinhardt is 11th. DISGUSTING nothing against Reinhardt but he’s already cancerously widespread and strong do you really want that to be upgraded??

Nino and Lilina picked up in comparison to last year, which makes me very happy (12th vs. 39th and 25th vs. 49th.) as I love both of them

Owain in 26th. PLEASE GIVE US OWAIN ALREADY (and also Brady, even if he is in 346th...  ;; )

or for that matter, any Awakening children ####

Selkie seems to be the most popular beast unit at 21st UNLESS you count together Ranulf’s split votes, which would put him 33rd, between Ninian and Kliff! So I guess he wins this one? Honestly, rightfully so, he’s pretty important and likable AND good, he’d be a great choice for introducing beast units.

Eliwood crawled up 8 ranks to 26th. This pleases me.

Ninian also jumped from 100 to 32, shows how well Heroes worked out for her (unlike for some of the Awakening characters that were part of the starter/fodder units)

Kliff ist still most popular non-lord from SoV at 32nd. My echoes favs are different ones but I’ll take anyone they introduce. I wonder if they’d make him a mage?

Alfonse, Fjorm and Sharena are pretty close in their ranks around 40th , interesting. I expected Anna to be closer to them but I guess... it’s because she’s not strictly a Heroes OC?

Aversa shot from 100-something to 41, I think people really just want that GHB for a free red mage flyer (like I predicted but never happened)

a lot of (especially 3DS) beast units up in the top 50, let’s hope it sends a sign (and gives us Laguz too)

Sumia at 53rd and Maribelle a bit higher. I think people really want yet-unreleased Awakening characters way more than alts (me too, but... where’s my alt Lon’Qu I really really expected to happen ;_; )

Wrys at 56th. Meme voting #2 *disgusted noises*

Fae ranked much higher than before, well done my fav baby chicken!

Haar at 64, yes yes YESSSS give us our favourite Wyvern rider please

Louise at 72??? That’s??? a surprise??? but a GOOD surprise for me, I really like her. Interestingly, she crawled up MUCH higher than last year in comparison to her husband... who also gained votes but not as many, for whatever reason (Pent is 112th!)

NILS went frm 285 to 81 !!! People really want Ninian’s little brother and honestly I WANT HIM TOO. REUNITE THE SIBLINGS!!!

is Fae really the highest ranking echoes villager after Kliff? I don’t understand.

CANAS IS 89th!!!! he jumped up 24 spots since last year! I’m so happy, I really do have hope that they’ll add him...

Lon’qu barely made the top 100.... ;_; ...he dropped from 25th...

FE6 Hector (you know, bearded adult Hector) TRIPLED his votes from last year, shooting him from 217st to 101st... WOW (combining to almost 41,000 votes! That’s roughly comparable to Lucina’s last year...

Genny, Lukas, Conrad and Python crowding around the 100th places for Echoes representation! I really enjoy that (and voted Pythont too)... but where’s Forsyth D8 (ah, in 270th...  ;_; )

Ilyana in 131st!

Mila actually ranked 134th! No idea how they’d implement her but. YES. MILA.

Erk (135th) and Knoll (136th) so close together amuse me... maybe there’s hope after all

Florina dropped from 71st to 147th D8

Sain is 160th! Best represented Cavalier from FE7, I can live with that (bringing him in without his buddy Kent (327th) is unthinkable anyway and Lowen... I’d be in disbelief if they actually considered adding my boy OTL

Dorcas dropped to 185h but honestly, subtracting the unexpected memetic growth from last year, that’s still a really good spot for a barely-noticed FE7 character, likely because he’s a really great unit in FEH.

Legault and Leila both crawled a bit higher than before!

Brigand Boss in 212th. DISGUSTING.

Leon (Echoes) in 250th.... lower than Tatiana - I love her but this is surprising for me. Valbar is at 300! while Kamui is in 359th, rip Kamui D,: no wait RIP JESSE in 534th... WELL, one of those 205 votes is mine!

though, amazingly they all rank above Mathilda at 362? I thought she was really popular, maybe her Heroes appearance was underwhelming?

Stefan is only 339ths... this actually surprises me a little, I thought he’d rank higher (though he has 1003 combined votes...)

Oswin in 358th! that’s like 30 ranks lower than last year! NOOO!!

I was gonna say that villains ranked pretty good in this one, but just... comparing unplayabable one-level Awakening Boss Mustafa at 473, just one rank above Tobin from the recent Echoes... wow.

Tormod in 381st, Muarim in 431st... well, not far apart at least?

Amy got in 461st and Elena (Ike’s mom) in 423rd... wow

if Gatrie’s votes got combined he’d be at 410 or something... but they aren’t. He got pretty evenly voted for for both games he’s in though! I honestly do not get why Shinon is so much more popular lol

THERE HE IS. LOWEN. in 503rd with 238 votes, some of those from me. he... lost around 100 ranks and votes compared to last year. I’m very sad, but not at all surprised.

Jarod is at rank 551 with 181 votes, omg @konfuse

Geitz in 568th, aaah..

aaaand that was it for what I really wanted to know I guess

Oh man, Lowen, mah boi
