a chance at reconciliation (sir crocodile x reader)

req: I was wondering 💭…If you could do something for Crocodile. I was thinking of something along the lines of where the reader is a warlord but she’s also the ex-wife of Crocodile, like they had a fallout and never actually properly talked about it. So maybe they make up somehow and discuss things? I don’t know something like that 😭

a/n: gonna try to be more relaxed and freeform with some requests so they don’t sit too long in my inbox! if you have any feedback on this bullet point/scenario combo type of format (whether you like it/hate it/have any suggestions to improve it) let me know!

contents: a little bit of angst/hurt, some fluff, soft!crocodile 

wc. 1.5k

wanna be on my taglist?

you initially decline the Marines’ request for you to relocate to Alabasta in order to keep an eye on Crocodile. though you’ve been a Warlord for quite a few years now, you’re still the newest addition to the group so the Marines tend to twist your arm a bit more if they really want you to do something. they don’t do it often but this time they go so far as to threaten to revoke your Warlord status so you begrudgingly give in, knowing they only chose you because you’re legally still his wife

you’d split up before the Eight Warlords was even a thing but since neither of you bothered to legally divorce, you’re technically still his spouse. you’re not sure if the Marines thinks that’ll make you more or less inclined to snitch on him but you don’t really care. at most you’ll go say hi before fucking off to whatever penthouse suite’s available to buy, the nicer the better–Alabasta’s a beautiful country but even you can smell something fishy’s happening behind the scenes and you’d prefer to stay indoors as much as possible

when you arrive at Alabasta you head straight for Rain Dinners, deciding it best to just get the ordeal over with ASAP. although you left on bitter terms, you can’t deny you still harbour some feelings for the man. he was your childhood sweetheart, after all, which is especially why you’re still somewhat bitter over how easily he let you go

Crocodile smells you before he sees you; or, more specifically, the familiar scent of your favourite perfume triggers something deep in his chest before he even realises you’re here. effortlessly keeping his cool in front of the Alabastian businessmen he’s chatting with, he scans the casino and nearly chokes on his cigar when his eyes meet yours.

you look older now but time has been kind to you. you’ve aged so gracefully it’s no wonder he recognises you right away despite having spent so long apart. he’d spent his growing-up years seeing your face almost daily, after all. 

you maintain eye contact for a mere second before breaking it and making your way to the end of the bar, hips swaying in a way he just knows will attract attention sooner or later. even after 15 years, you know how to get what you want from him–or is the truth just that you’d gotten him wrapped around your finger a long, long time ago and he simply never let go?

whatever it is, Crocodile excuses himself, much to the visible disappointment of the two young ladies who’d been glued to his sides for hours now, and makes his way over to the bar. he claims the only vacant seat beside you before anyone else can even consider the idea and pulls out a fresh cigar.

“fancy seeing you here, dear.” the term of endearment escapes his lips so easily any onlooker would assume you’re still actively together. it’s very unlike him to slip up in such a juvenile manner but he hides the fact that it was a complete accident extremely well, hoping, fruitlessly, that you wouldn’t comment on it.

“bold of you to call me your ‘dear’, Sir Crocodile.” you take a sip of your drink but not without shooting the handsome bartender a wink first. Crocodile immediately dismisses him and makes a mental note to hire a new one tomorrow.

“that’s a shame,” you lament as you watch the bartender leave his post, “i was planning on having a bit more than just a drink tonight.”

“why’re you here?” he asks pointedly. “surely not for sentimental reasons, especially since you’re a Warlord as well now.”

“i’m surprised you even know that,” you shoot back, the slight sharpness in your voice betraying any attempt to hide the hurt in your chest. you’d long buried it somewhere so far away you thought it was out of reach and yet here you are, feeling the heartbreak claw its way up your throat the moment you see Crocodile in person again. “funny how being apart for so long seems to make it easier for you to keep up with my life.”

it’s a low blow but he can’t deny the truth in what you just said. it was easy for him to neglect your relationship back when he was shooting up the ranks as a pirate, he’d taken your loyalty for granted and only realised his mistake when it was too late. 

eventually his name became known all throughout the seas and he was even offered the position of Warlord by the World Government themselves. the power tasted sweet on his tongue–it still does–and yet on some nights he wondered if the price he paid was a bit too high. it’s been many years but even now Crocodile sometimes finds himself turning to his right to ask you for your opinion, only to remember you’d long since detached yourself from him in pursuit of a more fulfilling life. 

nothing could have prepared him for your rise to Warlord status, though. Crocodile had always known you were extremely capable, he was simply never aware how huge your ambitions could get.

“i really let you slip away that easily, huh?” he wonders aloud, much to your confusion. 

“i’m not entirely sure what to say to that,” you answer honestly. it wasn’t like him to speak so sentimentally and, truth be told, you were expecting a bit more hostility from him during such a sudden reunion. “to answer your question, though,” you continue, keeping your eyes glued to the single ice cube floating in your drink, “the World Government wants me to snitch on you and your little operation.”

without even looking at him, you can pretty much see the way he’s quirking an eyebrow.

“i know all about your little organisation going on here in Alabasta.” you tear your eyes away from your glass and tilt your head up just enough to see his face, only to find he’s already staring right at you. has he been looking at you this entire time? “all your little code names, your agenda, your Millions and Billions.”

to your surprise, Crocodile smirks.

“would i be wrong to assume you were feeling a little sentimental coming up with the name ‘Baroque Works’?” you ask, not breaking eye contact.

“you always loved Vivaldi, my dear,” he answers simply, his smirk softening into a smile. he hadn’t felt his lips move in such a way in a long time, it was always reserved exclusively for you, after all.

“still do.” you look away once more, now hyper aware of the fact that he’s still staring at you.

for a few minutes, the two of you sit in a comfortable silence only interrupted by the goings-on of the casino around you. after taking the final sip of your drink, you opt to play with the glass, running your index finger through the droplets of condensation. 

you’re not entirely sure what it is you want to happen anymore. prior to arriving here, you’d been so confident that this would be a quick and easy meeting. you’d say hi and leave; and yet here you are, drawing the affair out as long as you can, it seems.

“are you waiting for me to say something, dear?” Crocodile asks, not even bothering to forgo the pet name at this point. “do you expect me to go down on my knees and beg you to leave my operation alone?” he nearly taunts.

“you and i both know that’s not really my style.”

“a lot can change in fifteen years.”

“a lot can stay the same, too, don’t you think, Mr Zero?”

without warning, he reaches out to brush his fingers through your hair, sending warm tingles down your spine like it always used to do all those years ago. Crocodile trails his hand back up, brushing his fingertips past your neck before settling his large palm against your cheek. unable to help the smile stretching across your face, you let yourself indulge in the warmth of his hand as your eyelids flutter closed.

“what could i have done to make you stay?” he murmurs, rubbing the pad of his thumb across your skin. your own hand rises up to lay over his to keep it in place as you nuzzle into his palm and the Warlord feels a dull ache in his chest. 

“you know i just wanted some of your time and attention,” you reply softly, keeping your eyes closed and your face resting in the palm of his hand. Crocodile nods even though he knows you can’t see it.

“and if i were to offer both of those to you now?” he suggests and for the first time in decades he feels anxious.

“you seem as busy as always, if not more, actually.” you hum thoughtfully. “don’t you have important business to attend to?”

“would you believe me if i said i’m much more capable of separating my work from my personal affairs now?” you let out a soft laugh and the sound soothes his nerves almost instantly.

“i could be,” you reply, eyes fluttering back open to meet his own, “with some convincing, that is.” 

“very well.”

Crocodile decides to start by bringing your hand to his lips and pressing an uncharacteristically tender kiss to the back of it; and from the way your smile widens, he believes he might just succeed.

KIDD; kiss-proof lipstick review

warning/s: very fluff, fem reader, youtuber/streamer!kidd, shy!s/o, modern au, most nsfw thing could happen is an abrupt makeout

note: based from this -> post, smaller italicized texts are sub-bullets

kidd as a youtuber that normally does metal covers with his band (heat, killer, and wire)

has about a solid following of 100k subs bc they're just so cool

that is until his viewers asked for his makeup tut bc he always looks so bomb

his viewers have also requested fit checks like what he wears in a week

kidd forgot to mention that he has a s/o, which mildly upset a certain demographic who was ahem thirsty for him

you as his gf doesn't really mind if he talks to himself in front of his phone or camera on random times, but he always tells you a quick warning beforehand bc you sometimes appear on the bg of his vids/streamer

i also think that at some point, kidd does game streams bc he's lazy to edit. his fanbase supports any content he does whether it's just yap streams or food streams or band rehearsals

i feel like he always aims for competitive games that are pvp like MK, COD, league, etc. it just feeds his ego, and he enjoys trashtalking 😭 riling his opponent up and all that

it's all so funny, which explains his fanbase that tolerates his insufferable temper and jokes. it takes a certain kind of humor that other people might take as offensive

but the second he got sponsored by a punk make-up line, a pr box arrived at his doorstep bc he rarely checks his emails

he'd ask you to do a makeup stream with him, but you were too shy about it. especially after being the final boss of a certain demographic that is attracted to him 😭 but you never told him that. knowing him, he'll probably flip all of them off and cause drama

he'd start up stream, poorly introducing the products. you laughed to yourself at how bad he was at complimenting or kissing ass to the brand he legit has never heard of😭

kidd knows how to apply his makeup; shadow, liner, and lipstick. he tried on a purple and red shadow combo and his usual full eye liner.

his stream at that point became very chill, his fans loving every bit of his craft and how focused he was doing everything. especially at how he looked like afterward

"now we got- kiss-proof lipstick? they sent me a shit ton of fuckin' shades!" he showed a whole box of liquid lipsticks. laughing at the ridiculous amount.

his fanbase requested a test of the kiss proof on his palm, showing interest in the product

but kidd had different ideas. it might be a good way to hard launch you already.

his ig and twt already had pictures of you during dates, but your face was always hidden most of the time

"a test on my palm? oh boy, i have a better idea for that."

he'd call you, "babe! baby! c'mere a moment, i need ya a bit."

his chat would go: "babe?!?! omg hard launch?!", "omg here is his s/o!", "OH GOD KIDD YOU SLICK CHEEKY FUCK!"

you'd be scared for a bit, but kidd looked really excited. besides you also want to check out his makeup products.

"are we gonna do it together?" you muttered lowly, referring to the review

"kinda." he shrugged. "i just got one lil job for you, you'd love it promise."

you were skeptical at first but oh well. kidd lets you pick the lipstick of your choice, which was a bright red. it always looks good on him.

the chat was highkey going crazy when your body from neck below was showing

they also noticed how kidd started acting differently, he spoke softly and he had this meek smile while looking up at you

he lets you apply it on him. you were now seating with the seat he pulled to let you down. the chat now being able to see you. you waved a hi shyly, and man the view count started going up

twt was already full of you guys 😖

kidd then fanned his lips, waiting for the product to dry.

"ok, what's next?" you asked, popping the lid close

"this." he grabbed the back of your head and kissed you on stream. holding the kiss pretty good in there, smirking through it as he did so, before sucking on your lips open

you were too flustered and frozen but he even had the audacity to angle his head the other way to continue kissing you

it was pretty fucking lewd, he was really getting in there

but you, you melted from his lips and his firm grip on your nape

the chat and stream lagged at the amount of chats and view counts increasing exponentially

once he pulled away after a good 2 minutes, he turned to the screen and said, "so? it really is kiss proof, aye?" he bursted out laughing at your reaction which was the same when he started kissing you 🤣

the chat also went hysterical, both from freaking out with the both of you and your reaction

you honestly didn't mind, you half expected it. it's kidd we're talking about🤣 because kidd did it as a flex and as a fuck you to his haters (especially those who were targeting you)

you had to excuse yourself which resulted to even more comedic response from kidd at how cute you are. you were burning red btw

you later come back to tell kidd and chat that you're okay, and you plan to get back on him for that

JASDHSAJDJSAJDSA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! JUST DID THIS LAST NIGHT

[halitis]

some of my fave looks from this met gala, please gimme ur faves too but i hold the right to judge yall if you choose wrong <3

doechii - omg okay this is an incredible look. i love the shorts! i think its really unique and the cheek logo is so fucking cunt. 10/10 look, especially paired with the cigar. and the hair suits her so well, this is just a great look.

laura harrier - the sillohuette of this is BEAUTIFUL, i love the exaggerated hips and how it's still feminine while incorporating the tailored for you theme. the neckline suits her so wellllllll

angela bassett - idk if this is a hottake but i adore velvet in outfits, i think it can make an outfit look so ethereal. i think this really captures the theme, from the outfit itself to the accessorising. beautiful. i also love the heel she paired this outfit with and i just think that they need to be acknowledged.

[ continued below ]

lupita nyong'o - OH MAN THIS IS ETHEREAL!!! i love the hat, and the kinda coat thing? especially paired with the monocolour outfit. while at first glance it kinda blends into itself, giving it more time really allows you to see more of the details. maybe im biased because i just love lupita, but still a great look.

sabrina carpenter - i don't love this look, but i just want to comment on it. i think it's a good look while still sticking to her brand, but i do think she could have pushed it further. maybe a different hairstyle or makeup look, but overall it's a solid good.

bad bunny - THE ACCESSORIES ON THIS WENT SOOO HARD. he knows that he's eating up. i love the hat, glove and bag combo; i think they all pair together quite well without feeling like they are fighting to be the centrepiece.

zendaya - at first i wasn't sure if i liked this outfit, but i keep looking and i came around. i like the way the outfit has,,.. idk how to describe it. exaggerated proportions while still lending itself to her natural figure. like the pockets, large and filling space while still complimenting the form. i think its quite good! i also love bellbottom pants just in general.

zoe saldana - this is my favourite look from the night yall. where on earth do i start. shoes? incredible. i adore them and i want them. i dont actually know what to say on this because everything is beautiful, the buttoned details is lovely. the exaggerated chest and hip corset (kinda?) look is so wonderful and lends itself wonderfully to her look. i don't love the hair but its okay <3

whoopi goldberg - i want to draw attention to the nail accompaniments because i have no idea what they are, but they are SO cool. i actually love it. the gold looks so pretty with the suit-dress and coat. also hat? looks banging with her haircut. in general just a lovely look.

colman domingo - the cape? cool as fuck. looks sick. and the suit!>>!?? i love the pairing of dots and stripes, i think its quite pretty. i wish there was more relation between the two clothing pieces but at the same time maybe there is and im just Dumb. either way so pretty <3

teyana taylor - the rose accompaniments is so pretty, as well as the chains. i think its just... prettee :3. i love how the cane looks with the gloves, as well as the feathered hat. also lashes are EATING i love em.

justice smith - i love these shoes, i love the kinda flat toe box feel to them that r quite cute! the finger curls as well are SO good and i love the fit of this, as well as the makeup. the blush is so cute!

If you're still doing fanfic requests, I hope you do mine with a Jotaro x cosplayer Gender Neutral Reader. The reader is a cosplayer and Jotaro’s spouse, and they were able to convince Jotaro to hop on the cosplay train, and he actually enjoys it while he doesn't do it all the time when he is able to he does it bonus points with little Jolyne joining (You also don't have to namedrop any other media just to keep it fair for the reader) . Just a fun story. Thank you, and I hope you're doing well. I love your work🩵🩷

Hi!! It's me! Thank you for your kind words 🫶💕 I heard you, and I've cooked up something for you! This one's short, but I hope my understanding of cosplaying and the overall fic gives justice to your prompt. Enjoy! 🤗

Dress Up - Jotaro x Reader

word count: 1.9k

Dressing up was always a hobby of yours, always determined to be as stylish as possible.

But cosplaying was on a whole another level of dedication- to collect a wide variety of colorful clothes and unique accessories and mesh them together to recreate the fashion of your favorite characters. It made you feel good to roam around in events and public spaces where fellow people like you could band together and have fun.

And a thought came to your mind.

Apparently, one of your friends had brought up the idea of you inviting your family to an upcoming convention, dressed in cosplay together with you. It was an interesting idea to imagine for your husband and child to not only be part of your shenanigans, but to spend more quality time outside as a family.

The second the suggestion was brought to the table, your head started to churn out what anime, video game, or show was suitable for three people, or more specifically, a family. At the top of your head, one media came to mind that involved both parents being undercover agents with their special adopted daughter, and running with that idea, you began surfing the net for the best cosplay for a massive guy and a little girl.

But then, in the middle of your online shopping spree, your fingers stopped when “The Obstacle” popped into mind.

And it’s the two other people in question.

Jolyne, for the most part, would be easy to bring into your world of dress-up. After all, the little girl was a bundle of energy that wanted to do everything and try everything that a 7-year-old could do. Becoming a live recreation of a telepathic child her age was up her alley of stuff she’d do in her spare time.

The waters become murky when it came to your husband.

Jotaro was a guy who had a specific style he’d like to don on and was pretty consistent with. Before, it was being the rebellious, delinquent who spoke mostly with his fists. That was thanks to either his young teenage brain of “being cool” or hopping on the trend of being one of Japan’s teenage bad boys.

However, with his angsty phase done, he had refined himself into someone who was clean-cut and chic- often preferring to keep his hair slicked and trimmed, and to wear turtlenecks and coat combos. You weren’t sure if that was mainly due to his maturity combined with his profession, or he finally had the chance to let that smart nerd in his “bad boy” shell out, and evolve into the professor with a doctorate it wanted to be.

And now, you don’t know if he was okay with playing dress-up with you, decked in clothing he’s unfamiliar with. Heck, he was a busy man too. You weren’t sure if he had the time to be doing something random as cosplay, which wasn’t part of his priorities.

But fuck it. You already placed the order in and the convention was set to happen in two weeks. Might as well rip the Band-Aid off and ask while it’s still early.

A chance to do so was given once he chose to have a day-off due to him feeling unwell.

You curled up with him in blankets on the living room sofa with a movie playing, and you watched it alongside him, waiting for the right time to ask. Behind him, you caught Jolyne peeking around the corner, watching with wide anticipating eyes. You gestured her to be quiet and the little girl grinned and nodded.

It was when the credits start rolling did you took the opportunity. “Can I ask you something?” He hummed in acknowledgment. “You don’t mind if you… I don’t know… cosplay with me for an upcoming convention?” You asked with much conviction you could muster.

Jotaro cocked a brow and crossed his arms. “I know you enjoy dressing up for some time, but this is new. Why?”

“Look,” You sighed. “You know I’ve always been doing anything under the sun, and honestly, I… I wanted to experience my hobby with you and Jolyne at least once.” You contemplated continuing but you did anyways. “I’ve always wanted to ask you for some time, but I know you’re busy so I kept letting the idea simmer in the back of my mind.”

He tilted his head, and your cheeks fumed lightly. “Of course, you can refuse if you don’t feel comfortable doing so-”

“Alright.”

You paused and stared at him in surprise. “Alright?”

“To be more specific, it depends on the clothes.” He shrugged. “Does my cosplay involve heavy make-up, wigs, and/or revealing or complicated outfits? If so, then you need to persuade me better.”

“Not at all. I’m aware of your sensitivity to texture, so I picked a set of cosplay outfits that wouldn’t be too overbearing or stuffy,” you said. “All you have to wear, really, is a 3-piece-suit and a pair of gloves. I ordered a wig too but I’ll let you decide if you want to wear it or not.”

He cocked his head and hummed yet again, this time, sounding more relieved and piqued. “Is that so? That’s all I have to wear?”

“Mhm.”

“Then, I’ll indulge in your interests. But I won’t guarantee you that I’d be doing this again if I find myself getting uncomfortable during my first time.”

Your eyes sparkled and a wide smile blossomed on your face. You were about to throw yourself into his arms with a string of “thank you’s”, but the excited squeals of your 7-year-old daughter beat you to it, followed by the same child making a direct beeline toward her father.

“Papa’s going to play dress-up with us!”

“You love us this much, huh?” You laughed softly.

“Good grief.” He rolled his eyes with affection, a ghost of a smile on his lips. “The things I do for you two…”

---

Today was the day of the convention.

Followers of your social media accounts, together with friends, fellow cosplayers, and the other people attending the event, would see one of their favorites in person yet again, wanting to meet and catch-up, even snapping a couple of photos while decked in your best outfit of one of your favorite characters.

What they didn’t expect were the two other people joining you for the event: A tall, well-built man in a crisp olive suit, and a little girl with a pink wig and black dress with gold accents.

The crowd hovered around your little family, complimenting the outfits you wore. Some of them would even ask permission if they could take a picture with your partner and/or child. Jolyne had no problem with photos, being the adventurous little girl she was.

The same couldn’t be said about Jotaro and his distaste of being photographed casually in public by strangers. He already underwent the whole “swarm of fangirls taking selfies and/or pictures of him without his consent” phase when he was a teenager. He’d appreciate it greatly if his boundaries were maintained by telling people to not press up against him.

But if it was a random photographer wanting to snap a photo of him with his family as a whole, then he can tolerate it. Your happiness was worth the trouble.

But if there weren’t any cameras shoved at his direction, he grew accustomed to his cosplay; often adjusting his suit, dusting his pants free from dust, and fixing his gloves. In the rare chances you had, you found him standing at a nearby mirror, gazing at himself in this new fit.

You huffed with a smile. He was an open-minded man… and a person with many interests apparently.

The friend who brought up the suggestion in the first place found you and your family amongst the many convention goers, dressed in a cosplay of their own. Behind them, two other individuals accompanied their pal. “Hey!” They waved their hand to catch your attention. “Y/N!”

You turned to the person, and with your husband and daughter in tow, you greeted them with a wide smile on your face. “Oh my god! Hello! You look amazing as usual!”

“Me? Amazing?” They laughed. “You should look at the mirror and look at yourself! You… and your kickass family!” They leaned over to wave at Jotaro and Jolyne. “Hi Mr. Kujo! Jojo!” Jolyne eagerly reciprocated the gesture, while he nodded once in return. “No but for real though; I was just kidding about the whole inviting your entire family to your cosplay world. I did not, for the life of me, expect you to actually pull through.”

“What can I say?” You chuckled and ran your fingers through your hair. “I’m a person of many talents~ Nothing’s impossible when I get to have a say in anything.” Behind you, you could hear your husband scoff with a tinge of exasperated affection.

“Aha! You there!” Your little girl skipped over to your side and threw her arms up to the air as her way of making a cute entrance, much like the character she cosplayed as. “You! I can read your mind!”

“Jolyne, don’t overplay it…” You could just tell he was hiding his face behind his hands. But you didn’t mind your kid’s dramatics.

Neither did your companions. “Oh?” They knelt and cupped their cheek when facing the child. “And what am I thinking right now, hm? Bet you can’t guess it.”

Jolyne puffed her cheeks, balled her little fists, and shut her eyes with hyper focus. Jotaro closed the distance between you and him, joining you and your buddies to watch a little girl “at work” with amusement.

She opened her eyes after a few seconds and pointed at your friend. “You want to take pictures of me and my family!” They played up a theatrical gasp, paired with the exaggerated wide eyes, hand on the chest, and furrowed brows.

“Oh god! You clever little thing. How did you know?!”

Jolyne snickered, posing cutely for the group. “I have my ways.”

“She really does get it from you,” Jotaro muttered with a subtle nudge to your arm.

“Get what?”

“Your dramatic ass.” You whacked him playfully in the chest in retort. “Am I wrong?”

“Yeah. Sure. Whatever James Bond.”

“Well, isn’t my character supposed to be an agent?”

“Oh shut- Don’t get cheeky with me now, mister.” You snorted, lightly shoving your husband to the side. Somehow, he maintained an air of nonchalance even after teasing you.

Your fellow cosplayer pulled out their camera and smiled. “Like your kid said, my friends and I really want to take some pictures with you and your family. All of you look so awesome together!”

You looked down at Jolyne, who’s more than ready to have another round of photos taken of her, then glanced over at Jotaro, wanting his permission before being subjected to more cameras. For a minute, he held your gaze with his characteristic aloof expression, before he sighed deeply. “You’re lucky you’re Y/N’s friends…”

Suffice it to say, it was guaranteed that your friends were blessed with the exclusive reward of having a photo snapped with not only you and your amazing cosplay, but with your equally stunning spouse and adorable child as well.

All that’s left is whether Jotaro would allow for another try at cosplaying another character sometime in the future, but you had the answer in mind when you peeked at him fixing his suit while growing fond at seeing the little girl cheer and squeal over their elaborated dress-up event.

You smiled to yourself, having a strong hunch that despite his initial reluctance, he won’t mind joining again next time.

Rating Every Single Remus Sanders Look

I'm bored, and I’m also at almost 300 posts, and for my 300th post, I wanted to make a big Remus Sanders related post, so here's me rating every single Remus Sanders look that's ever appeared in the series and outside the series since 2025

Little criteria for my rating, a Remus Sanders look is an outfit that Remus Sanders has worn that significantly changes the way he looks to a point where his outfit is different but he's still recognizable. This means that his editorial look and the green character from Trying Too Hard will be excluded from this rating as even though they're inspired by him, they're technically not him. I am also excluding the following looks because even though they do change his character, they don't change it too much to be considered actual looks, those include: naked Remus from ATHD, eyepatch Remus and dunce cap Remus from WTIT, and jester hat Remus from Incorrect Quotes Vol 2.

Also, disclaimer, this is all my opinion, feel free to disagree, also these ratings are going to be extremely biased because I love all Remus Sanders, they are all very nice, I just like some a little more than others

Ratings under cut

Regular Remus: 10/10- I love Remus's usual outfit. I love the fake eye on the one shoulder, I love the fake teeth on the little fabric strips, I love all the frilly designs, it's all great. Not much more to say.

Adam and Eve Remus: 7/10- Pretty funny. I love how Adam Remus has fake abs instead of him being actually shirtless, that's a hilarious way to get around YouTube demonetization.

Remus with Thomas's robe: 6/10- Is probably the most basic look since it's just Remus in Thomas's robe but it's not too bad. Please excuse the ass screenshot though, I'm too lazy to take another one

Wes Anderson Remus: 9/10- I love Remus in a suit. Suit outfits always look good. I also love how Remus isn't able to wear a bowtie correctly in this outfit and that just carries over into the Fearmus outfit

Fearmus: 10/10- The Fearmus outfit is probably my favorite of the video alternate outfits. I love the sweater and button up combination. Not a combo I thought Remus would wear, but it works really well for him

Oogy Boogy Remus: 7/10- Is kind of basic since it is just Remus's usual outfit with the addition of a Spirit Halloween apron and a burlap sack hood, but the makeup does go extremely hard.

Christmas sweater Remus: 8/10- The Remus christmas sweater is one of my favorite pieces of merch ever, and he wears it extremely well. I do like it a little better when he has the hat and scarf on too, but it also looks nice when he doesn't have them in What Makes the Perfect Gift?

Skirt look Remus: 10/10- This look goes so extremely hard. Probably my favorite photoshoot look. I love everything about this outfit. He absolutely slayed the skirt look

Pride Remus: 9/10- This is also a very cool look. I love the pants with the eyeballs on them, that is a very in character thing for him to wear.

Halloween Remus: 8/10- It is a little basic since the outfit mainly consists of a t-shirt and shorts, but the makeup is really good and the simplicity of the outfit is kinda nice. Also, this man is a monsterfucker, so his Halloween costume just being him with a bunch of scars and lipstick, insinuating that he fucked a monster is so funny

Pole dancer Remus: 8/10- It is a little basic since it is just a tanktop and shorts, but it still looks really nice. The short hair Thomas had at the time really works with this outfit. Also, I really like Remus with fingerless gloves, he should get fingerless gloves in more of his outfits

Little side note, but it was really difficult to find pictures of this outfit for some reason??? I could not for the life of me find the pictures on Google search or Thomas's Instagram even though I knew he had posted the pictures on his Instagram, and had to resort to finding photos of the outfit in an old Discord server that me and some online friends had made in 2020. I have no idea why it was so difficult to find

Remus with a cape: 10/10- I know this technically doesn't fit my criteria of the outfit having a significant change, but this look did get a whole photoshoot, so I kind of have to add it in. I kinda wish they had kept Remus's cape in his original outfit. Like, I know they probably couldn't since it would probably create too much hassle while filming, but it would have looked so good

And a little bonus because I wasn't sure if this one technically fit my criteria or not: Gavin Remus: 10/10- Perfection

[ornii]

helloo

Could i request Cate Dunlap from the Gen V show x Male reader pls??

Finally finished Gen V so I can finally do this request and idk why but I think Cate could play a young Jean Grey really well if they decided to reboot the X-Men which in turn gave me an idea for this. (Also Jordan is my favorite character, please protect them.)

Stargazing

Cate Dunlap X Male Reader

It was the criminal investigation Class that set you on the path of Heroism, real heroism.

You were forced to wear a pair of high Destiny deep red glasses that thankfully halted your superpower; concussive beams can emit strongly though your eyes, thankfully you can somewhat control the intensity. From the strength of a slap in the face to a Freight train hitting your opponent at Lightspeed, you had more control than most, making you a potential shoe for the Seven, and into the Top 10.

Vought had their eyes on you and Luke, both of you were constant neck and neck in the eyes of The Uni and Vought. But it wasn’t much of a competition for you two, moreso of a friendly rivalry.. but you two did butt heads when it came to one person, Cate.

Cate had this personality that was abrasive at times but, so genuine and caring too. Made a tough combo for any guy luck or unlucky depending on how she was feeling. And man, she was gorgeous to boot, getting with the top kids you had to be around Luke, Andre, Cate and Jordan, the Big 5 as some would say.. but it’s just Big You.

It was dark, around 1 Am and on the rooftop of Godolkin. Cate, Andre and Luke were enjoying the company and cheap drugs. You, not so much. Keeping a clear head makes it easy for you to keep from taking your glasses off on accident. You sat in the edge of the building, Cate and Lucas on a large rectangular Box and Andre on an AC unit, Cate tilts her head at you.

“(Y/n), are you eyes red under those rose glasses?” She asked smugly, you looked over to her. “Fuck if I know.. dad has the same thing. Never got to see his.” You said, probably making it a bit awkward, and Andre turned to you, a hint of pain in his eyes.

“To Dads, right?” He said, offering a bag of mushrooms, you awkwardly laughed. “Nah I’m.. cool.” You replied. “Don’t think you can handle it?” Luke asked with a slight hint of teasing.

“Cmon, I mean I can make you… but we’re all about consent.” Cate walked over and sat next to you, the hint of vanilla on her perfume, Luke’s smirk slowly faded as cate leaned into your face. Her eyes getting scarily close to your glasses. “Man they’re like, Mars.” She whispered, “So you can only shoot lasers at people? I bet you can do so much more..” Cate leaned back to a normal sitting posture.

“Never considered doing more, just enough..” you replied, Andre nodded. “I get that, I can move metal around but.. can’t really think of much else.” Andre said, Luke nods.

“I can see myself on fire and fly, that’s about it.. I mean there’s a lot of fire and flying supes.” Luke explained, “But yours is.. super unique, we got heat and laser vision but. Concussive like super pressure.” He smiled, “You can go a long way.”

You smiled at that, you and Luke did have a lot of love and respect, even if you two were pitted against each other. You turned to Cate to thank her but saw she looked, drowsy.

“Cate? You okay?” She opened her mouth to speak but even you could see her Sclera was, red.. and her body flipped back, limp. You, Luke and Andre watched her body fly over the ledge, before any of you could mutter a word you leaped back as well.

“What—“

“Fuck!—“ you head Andre and Luke behind you as you plummet after her. They rushed over the ledge as you were able to grab Cate in your arm, you looked at the ground and thought, “Pressure.” You tore of your glasses and screamed, your red eyes flared a deep purple beam of energy, the concussive wave hits the ground with the force of a Racecar crashing into a wall at 100 miles, the sudden shift in force made your neck tense up, but you kept going, the beam slowed your decent with Cate until you could safely land, you hit the ground with both feet firm on the ground. You quickly closed your eyes as you held her.

“Cate? Cate?” You asked her, afraid of what’s going on, you heard the groggy grumbling and sighed with relief, she’s alive, Cate opened her eyes to yours closed. In a crater in the ground ironically. She looked around and back up to the roof, she pieced together what happened, an awkward smiled went along her face as she caressed your cheek.

“Knew you could do more..” she whispered, and you let her back on her feet. She looked up to Luke and Andre and gave a thumbs up, she’s fine. The sat back with relief and anxiety. You and Cate stood in the crater and looked up. “You had me worried there..” you admitted, Cate nodded. “Not my.. best moment… sorry about that. Stars are out tonight at least.” Cate looks around and finds your glasses thankfully you stopped your eye beams before you dropped them. You looked up to face the sky.

“It would be nice to see them, but they’d be rose tinted.” You said, and Cate stared at you and handed you back your glasses.

“Yeah.. but I’m looking at a real bright one right now..”

Extermination 8.2

I'm gonna be real, I don't think Legend is good at this

I actually really like the sense of mounting dread that's happening with Leviathan. Not just the storm that's approaching provoking black clouds in isolation but Legend's explanation of what to expect. What's coming is bigger than the Wards, bigger than the ABB, bigger than the Empire. It's so much worse. And you know it's coming.

The fact that Leviathan is so deadly because of the mere impact of water is a really fun detail, I know that a lot of Worm comes down to making fantastical powers impact with realistic consequences but the total negation of the idea of water being something soft is well done, especially in the scenes where it's actually implemented.

Newfoundland is 42,000 square miles in area and about a mile at the highest point, and Leviathan sank it like a toy boat. Kyushu is smaller but taller, and it fucking went under. I know a little bit about what Simurgh can do, so that shit is appropriately terrifying, but now I'm wondering what the hell Behemoth has going on that makes him as scary on the scale of entire landmasses sinking beneath the waves.

This is kinda diabolically clever, it gives the exact stakes and the clear threat of what comes with failure to stop Leviathan. It also puts even more pressure on those gathered to push harder and risk more.

A further reinforcement of the idea that this thing is fucking immortal, and another reminder from the very backdrop that it's getting closer.

"The inevitable." That's unambiguous. They truly believe that the Endbringers will eventually destroy humanity, and that all anyone can do is buy a little more time, at the cost of however many dozens of capes sacrifice themselves every fight. Losing that much more capacity to do something with every fatality.

The world is dying. They just have to hope it's a slow death.

A) who keeps making Wards fight Endbringers, for real

B) Fuck are the Travelers doing mucking around with an Endbringer?

Tattletale starts hitting this man with a verbal combo straight out of Marvel 2 and literally doesn't stop for the entire rest of the arc

What are the odds that Leviathan is clever enough to have deliberately interrupted this meeting as they were dispersing? Because I don't think they're zero and that's terrifying.

Man. We've been there, is the thing. Like we know the Boardwalk, we've seen the Undersiders walk up and down it, shop, grab lunch, talk about shit. And now it's just splinters against the tide.

God, what a cool design. I'll give kudos on this, it's a fucking badass monster that's about to wreck this city. And it's spooky! The face just being a featureless shape except for the eyes is a little odd but with everything else it comes off more uncanny than if it was on its own, and there's something about the description of how its head moves that's just unsettling.

And we're off to the fucking races.

Current Thoughts

What a good fucking threat. We've had three previous chapters of buildup to this moment, plus the offhand mention in 3.6, and when Leviathan finally appears in the flesh(?) his first move kills at least one cape and knocks out more. His presence can be felt in the fucking weather, he can scatter the city's defenses without even being present. This is a monster where its reputation, fearsome as it is, might actually be underselling it.

Anyway, up next we finally get that glimpse into Tattletale's thoughts that I was literally begging for at the end of Arc 7 lmao

[itsybitsylemonsqueezy]

You know what, fuck it: Baldur's Gate 3 Thoughts.

(The world is so so bad right now, can't even name all the bad things, so fuck it, no more bad feels, just some nice garbage right now)

I really love that the big 3 pairings all kinda arrive together:

Lae'zel and Shadowheart are already trapped on the ship together, like they are both trapped by their beliefs. They both know more about what's happening than anyone else and are also perhaps the most frightened.

Astarion and Gale show up stuck and as potential bait. They're both concealing some pretty big problems. The only way to succeed with them is to trust them despite this. And they both badly need to bond with others so they can survive their ordeals.

Karlach and Wyll actually already have a relationship, just one founded on misunderstanding. They can each empathize with each other in ways the others can't and adjust quickly to thinking of a previous adversary as a friend. They both have so much going on that when they arrive on the Sword Coast, they just resettle into business as usual. They've both been misused by those with control over them and seek to break that control, even if that doesn't fix everything, even if it means more loss.

They're all good ships, I love them. And all the other combos are good too, there are no bad options here, but I'm a bit of a sucker for these. Honestly, really appreciate having an entire party of bisexuals. I love that so much <3

Gale and I are the same person ha ha ha FUCK

I do have fic ideas, potentially for Gale & Astarion and Lae'zel & Shadowheart (spoilers below)

Like, I actually have a lot of feelings about Shadowheart being a complete dick to Lae'zel while she goes through a crisis of faith, only to eat pigeon pie later when she gets a crisis of her own.

And I'm obsessed with the idea of Lae'zel learning how to be comforting as she watches Shadowheart crumble apart, as she loses all sense of identity. Because at least Lae'zel has that. Lae'zel lost a lot in parting from Vlaakith, but she didn't lose who she was. Indeed, she left in defense of who she was, in defense of what she knew to be right. Shadowheart doesn't even have that. And it's a wild thing that comes over you, to feel like you've fucked up and lost and to find someone you can actually help. I think it would be a really cool and beautiful thing to see, Lae'zel helping Shadowheart find the pieces of herself. That would just be really, really good.

And then there's Problematic Old Man Yaoi over here

Maybe what I love best about Gale and Astarion is how much fucking WOULD NOT solve it

Like, some people just need to fuck it out and then it's all good, you fixed the issue

And 100% fucking would not solve their shit. Like, it would help, or it certainly wouldn't not help. But it'd only help like... max 20% The rest has to be solved by Talking, Using Your Words, Talking To Other People No Not The Imaginary Conversations, and Admitting When You're Wrong.

I also love that this is true no matter where you think they get together.

Like, let's take Act I: I cannot IMAGINE how Astarion could talk Gale into bed that early. Gale "Never Nude" Dekarios who's never had a crush on anyone who wasn't Mystra. He'd be shaking and fumbling just trying to ask Astarion on a date. And Mr. Emotionally Available over here, who is not ready to be vulnerable in any sense, who uses sex as a crutch because it's so familiar and so easy to dissociate from... yikes, what a combo. Poor Gale would be sent reeling by the hot-cold of it, he'd act insane those first few days after sex as he tries to make sense of how Astarion said yes to everything, but didn't mean it, but also he did? So should he pursue that or leave it be? Is the best choice to let Astarion thaw in his own good time or obsessively work on cracking this because Astarion clearly needs help and just doesn't want to ask for it? Stupid question, OBVIOUSLY the second! I... instant explosion. God, it would go so bad. Honestly, the good version is Gale resists the invitations and instead Astarion sulks for a few days over his blue balls or just fucks someone else, thus giving Gale a new case of mixed signals to obsess over. Jesus, we're just never going to escape that are we? Wizards gotta fixate.

Act II: In which Astarion chooses to ignore his own problems by instead arguing with Gale about his. Not because he's invested, merely because Gale is clearly being an idiot. Gale at first demurs, refusing to be argued out of his guilt, but then when Astarion becomes more insistent, counters with why Astarion cares so much? This would inevitably erupt in some kind of sexual encounter, but the fighting wouldn't stop because despite getting laid, Gale is still sure he's right and Astarion is still sure he's right. Dick actually can't solve this today. The camp mournful of ever finding a solution, they would like to sleep peacefully again someday.

Act III: Make or break time. Both Gale and Astarion escalate as the threat of death or destruction looms ever nearer. Gale now just as dead set on stopping Astarion from destroying himself as Astarion is on stopping Gale from destroying himself. Same threat, very different outcomes. Gale keeps looking at him with those damn puppy eyes and whining about "he'll regret it instantly" and "hate who he becomes" and "I can't stand to see that happen to you" or whatever. Obnoxious. And Astarion keeps trying to convince him that Mystra was wrong, that she "manipulated and groomed" him and "didn't even give an explanation" which he's owed, or some such nonsense. As if an inhuman, all-powerful goddess was out of line for being afraid of mortal actions... wait, was that a logical inconsistency? Damn. I think Gale would convince Astarion first. I think deep down Astarion would hate to be a full vampire too much, I think they both know it, and when Gale promises to stand by him, to take care of him, to always protect him... As much as Astarion doesn't want to trust, knows he's a fool for trusting, he agrees. He won't do it. He won't take the power. Because, damn him, he believes Gale. And what would suck is Gale would go "Cool! I'mma become a god, I can protect you way better then!" like entirely missing the point. And Astarion would be galled, deservedly so, by the hypocrisy. But Gale's so caught up in how sure he's right and how sure he's wrong, he's not even listening. I think it'd piss Astarion off so much, he'd convince the whole camp to kidnap Gale so he can't go sacrifice himself, full "He won't get the chance to kill himself because I'll do it first!" Until we finally get to the Nether Brain and... Astarion lets him go. Because that's the point. Trust isn't real if there isn't a choice. And as much as he hates the fact that Gale might choose what he doesn't want, he has to let him do it on his own. And I think that'd finally break through. That simple act of trust and sacrifice and playing willing to lose would finally make Gale go "Oh... oh god, what was I thinking? This isn't right." The fact that Astarion loves him more for the flawed and fallible person he is than for the heartless god he could become... That would finally make Gale see, Mystra was wrong all along and she never loved you because she can't really love. Not like that. Yeah. That's a personal favorite of mine.

But there's also a lot to be said for post-end, Astarion with nowhere to go and Gale going "You know... I've heard of spells that allow creatures form the Underdark to safely experience sunlight. We could try some of those, I don't see why they shouldn't work on you." and Astarion being floored and not even having the words for everything he feels at that offer. And then the raw sexual tension of living in his tower together as "friends" as Astarion mercilessly pines and Gale blissfully carries on, unaware until Tara finally goes "That's it! I can't take it any more! I'm going to live with your mother until you two sort this out!" and flies off. Leaving Gale to go "Huh... wonder what she meant by that?" Meanwhile, Astarion can hardly stand to be in the same room with Gale because he ends up basically drooling and yet, he can hardly stay away, staring obsessively from the shadows, creeping around wherever he is, looking exactly like the jealous lover he longs to be. Also, Astarion and Gale's mother! Oh, I can't wait! Too funny!

Oh, tower days with Astarion would be so good as he tries to adjust to having a life again. A slow, painful process, but very deserved. He'd need an occupation, he can't have nothing to do. Maybe he can look into magistrating again?

Anyway, there's some thoughts. I haven't finished Act III yet, but I'm close so I guess careful with those Act III spoilers.

Also, for anyone still reading, if you want to do me a solid: There exists somewhere a Bloodweave fic where Astarion walks in on Gale with a construct of himself only there's a twist... and the author is Very Correct about this twist. if you know, you know. But I can't find this fic anywhere! Please help a girl out if you've read the one I'm thinking of.

[faineant-girl]

just found ur tptm oc site, it's really cool :33 !! if you don't mind answering, what genre/sound/vibe (?) do you think each girl's song would be ?? excited to see more ^v^

ohhhh very good question!! ive definitely thought abt this for some more than others, for most of them it sorta like. reflects the music theyd listen to personally? so if i had to answer

cadaver- something heavy and fast, intense, very thrash metal inspired

porcelain- definitely slower, kinda oldies sounding? something sweet but melancholic

patient- noisy..... noisy vocaloid inspiration. something like maretu or pepoyo

wonderland- real ajj/pinc louds inspired, acoustic (ish) and folksy

frigid- rock music... melancholic of course but like. rock music

doozy- something deceptively cutesie sounding. probably would have like a xylophone somewhere in there. would sample this one sound i love so much (its a cuica)

prime- classic old scenemo/edgy fuck music...... msi mainly

retro-future- really hard idea imagining what zer's would sound like...... i really dont have many ideas :( sorrays

guardian- uhg hes a really hard one to imagine too.... kinda similar to patient but peppy-er? im sorta imagining it to be inspired by rurus suicide show

second-hand- fuck 3 hard ones in a row. kind of similar to like an acoustic sort of vibe, but. idk, much drearier. darker i guess

derby- man i can only think like. tally hall inspired. ?

gauntlet- haunting, id want her song to sound eerie, like u need to keep watching your back... also had the idea of repetition in her song to be sorta symbolic :P

patchwork- VERY noisy, chaotic soundscape, something like a combo of STOMACHBOOK and kikuo

aortic- oh i so like the idea of hers sounding kinda. like wanting to evoke the sound of a fairground..... maybe samples of cheering and fun in the beginning idk

testament- would be very inspired by bill wurtz, kinda of whimsical and free form, what id like to call nice and gentle and light

Rise Magic Watch - Rise pt1

Alright! It's the finale of the finale - and boy do we have some things to talk about!

But first, let's talk about everything that's not the boys' powers.

"Extracting a life-force - to do that, he would need to harness the very source of yokai power, Empyeran." / "You can only find that in the most sacred place in all of the hidden city - the Crying Titan."

Man, I wish we could have seen more of where they were going with this wold-building. Especially considering... well. You know.

The Krang corpse. Also!

It seems all the empyrean (mutagen?) was trapped inside the "eye" until Shredder broke the barrier.

In any case, Shredder was able to take the substance and put it in one of the 3 Big Circles in the magic array Cassandra was making

Stealing the Hamato Essence

This is the last magic circle we get... and it's honestly hard to get a good picture of! I don't think there was a single moment that showed the whole array + at a good angle + at a good size on screen. Honestly, here's one of the most helpful shots I found:

It's mostly circles - but there's spokes coming out the edges.

So, the circle pulls out a person's spirit, which can then be bound and/or absorbed - causing the person to vanish.

I find it interesting that this spirit-form takes the shape of Lou Jitsu, movie star. This tells us that your life-force's appearance is based off self-perception rather than reality, and that as far as Splinter as come, there's still some dissonance in the way he views himself.

Also!

The affect of having your spirit pulled out, and having it bound, are two different things! The moment Casey breaks the chain, Splinter wakes up and is able to take control of his spirit and break free from his bonds.

Hamato Ninpo

At this point, the boys come to finish freeing their dad and we get the Big Team Up

Donnie....what is that pose. What are you doing.

But! Interesting point - this is Splinter leading a fire-kick (seen way back in the lead-up to the S1 finale), but it is also a team attack, with all of them lending power to the single attack.

And then splinter gets his magical girl transformation.

And then we get this super-cool little twirl.

And then we get Big Fuck-off Spear

Which! Okay. Okay okay. This is a mix of Karai making her weapons from nothing and the boys combining their ninpo in the last part. And man. MAN. I wish we got to see more of this in other battles. Like, can you imagine the guys trying to drop one of these on Krang Prime?

And ohhhh. OH. I want to see. Partial-team combos. Duo fusion attacks. Like. Okay you see people head-canoning PB&J making crazy invention ideas together, transfer that dynamic to them combining their ninpo for something like THIS can you imagine?

Also, I forgot that we got this brief kaiju-off moment. Also that the energy blast went up to space. If we actually got the EPF in this series, that, uh. I think that would have gotten their attention.

I wonder if they would be able to summon this many Hamato ghosts at any time, or if it's just because it's the family's ancient enemy? Like, what's the criteria for ghostly back-up?

Hmmmm I'm at my image limit, so we'll be looking at the boys' (and April's!) magic in this battle in part 2 - and maybe finally capping off that discussion about their weapons.

Part 2

[bruhlesbian]

ttcc headcanon time lol

prester:

im sick of overly dramatic reasons for injuries. like statistically not every facial scar or injury is gonna be like "yeah when i was six my dad put me in the industrial cement mixer-" no. for example - my brother has a cool eyebrow scar, right. oh was it from his woodworking class? or because he's a barback? no. he was like 4 and ran into a sharp table corner. this is all a lot of words to say i gave prester a split bottom lip, and its not from a fight or some other dramatic thing. he was fucking licking something off of a knife and just. whoops.

there goes his lip. right in the middle of family dinner night, fucking rude. he never got it fixed because he thought it gave him a grizzled appearance. fucking obssessed with scarring on robots for that particular reason- in most cases, it CAN be fixed. but the person who has it, doesnt want to! theres a element of choice at play, which is also true for people in real life! some amputees wear prosthetics, not because they are helpful, but to make other people more comfortable, or present a certain image. fascinating stuff, disabilities and how they are presented/represented is something i think isnt really touched on as much as it should be. fun fact i gave a speech at my college on disability rep and accessibility in gaming.

butch!craig oilcan/CEO:

im obssessed with the idea of butch!craig being a internalized homophobe/misogynist combo. god that sounds so bad but hear me out. in the lesbian community, theres a LOT of stuff to keep track of. terminology, gender identities, and most interestingly, the history and expectations behind certain identities. butch and femme, for example, are like, the lesbian identifiers that a lot of people know of/like to sling around. but like, i didnt even know that butches had/have really intricate courting rituals. beyond that, the essence of the patriarchy also plays a big role, as a lot of people kind of short-hand masc things as, oh, then you are a man equivalent and are expected to act as such. these things are starting to change, as people start to really question gender roles through their own identities. it has opened a lot of doors for people i feel like, especially me. being masc or feeling aligned with that doesnt mean you are a man, and you must live your life that way. very freeing. anyway craig is such a funny guy to me because, back to the point, i think he (like most of the other bosses - clo cpo etc etc) is obsessed with his image. how he looks to others. any shit that is a weakness has to be kept under wraps, and cannot see the light of day. so back to the butch history detour. basically butches were/are expected to pursue femme's, either from internal struggles or from lesbian or mainstream society. in my mind craig is like- fuck i gotta like femmes. like will be seen with them in clubs and shit and whatever. but like internally hes like "something is fucking wrong with me what am i DOING these women are objectively beautiful but i have ZERO attraction to them wtf"

tw for like. workplace relationship stuff or power dynamics. but like come on. craig saw jason and found out he was a butch and was like. ah ah. say no more. and immediately hired him. like ill be so real he is 100% a guy to favor a secretary as eye candy over skill. a comic is gonna come out and shoot this idea to smithereens but. whatever. anyway yeah butch!craig can only get a metaphorical boner for other butches and it EATSSSS him up. he hired jason but jason is actually competent so he has to fucking keep him. lol. and dont worry jason only took the job (in my mind) because. well. we all know the "I WANT THAT FAT BOY" image right. slay.

episode 8 spoilers notes and reactions i wrote while watching <3

Pre crash !!

Not pre crash 

That was cool as hell 

Shauna I love looking at your nightmares theyre so creative (I am dead serious)

Wait where are we

Oh the leak

That was the silliest way they could have done that. I loved it. 

this is so fun

What do you mean you can both keep your knives omg these two are the campiest thing I have ever seen 

Am very high and snacking but —— did the girls leave half the team??? leaving tai lottie and Hannah at camp means only like four would have needed to skip away from other group after reconeccting separately to like leave leave. I hope this makes sense I might draw a diagram m (I was in a way, on the right track)

Love misty. Never misses a thing

I do love a whodunnit. Am not loving what it cost but it is what it is

LOL Melissa funny

Walter I believe you did the murder and the hijinks 

LOL THE MEME 

OH GIRL GET IT lets go idk what that was but I loved it

Aww poor travis 

Oh is this how tai takes power somehow? Instituting ranked choice voting?

Loving this from Shauna it is a lovely combo of how shes grown but equally, not moved in the slightest

Taissa please girl… now with a mess to deal with 

Oh poor Mari girl shes gone now isnt she 

Oh no theyre just as a group imagining things okay 

Oh yes teen tai plot time yay!!!

Oh tai is such a politician what an inner pr brain 

But also I do think thats teen other tai 

Oh that was disgusting I deeply despise that 

Well that was literally puppy dog eyes 

Okay even Shauna us seeing things that cant be good at all

ANYWAYS lottie may not be dead

LOL Guess who else is a Shauna hater ?? melissa!!!  (in jest in jest)

I love Callie

Good observation Callie - solid plot summary

What is this music

Akilah honey you okay

OH LIKE THE BEES OR REAL???

LIKE THE BEES NOOO 

Oh this is so scary 

Tai you are not doing well

NO EYED MAN IS LIKE CYBERPUNK 2077 PLOT ISNT IT BUT SCARIER BECAUSE ITS NOT ~Keanu reaves~ 

Oh lot

Lottie girl I love you. I get this so much

Oh fuck yeah Shauna thats using that for good thats the channeling the anger I want to see

THE SHAPE

This is so good 

Lol not everyone who’s about to learn its illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey 

Jeff this is a bonkers twist and I hate this. youre only enjoyable because of your love of Shauna so this better be a bit and you better be guilt stricken with a need to apologize of you will be out of the fun club

I love Melissa 

Omg I love Melissa

Lol not the scene being clocked from a single trailer frame well done shaunahat truthers

What the actual hell is happening with Shauna though

oh and - if i am right about the cyberpunk idea - i am going to be honestly a small bit very annoyed because... that means tai has had like truly not plot because it would be like a whole possession situation so im really hoping im wrong and its still at least in some sense actually some part of tai instead of, that.

[hershelchocolateart]

Which one of your characters do you like the most?

What is your oldest OC that you still use?

What are the origins of your sona's design?

1. OUUUGUGUGUGHGHGHGJGJ GOD. YOU CANT ASK ME THIS /silly

I have separate categories for this actually! But for now we'll just do 2.

Favorite OC overall? Wally Rosette and any variation thereof!!!

(From a Whos The Best Wally poll - not all Wally's pictured here)

He started as a fan OC, became a filler character, and evolved into my favorite little boy ever. Every single version of him has ended up being me secretly trying to work something out, whether it's Villain School Wally who's trying to figure out how to be a person after a traumatic experience, Locked Love Wally who's trying to be himself rather than the sweet and lovely facade everyone wants from him, or even Whisper Court Wally who is just living a normal life that's simply too busy for him to handle and he won't talk to people about it. But at their hearts they are all the same sweet boy!

Favorite OC just right now? ELLIE. CHELL. PHOSPHER. THEY ARE ALL TIED THEY ARE ALL INSANE

I genuinely don't know what happened when these three took over my entire brain.

Ellie is the most beautiful woman alive, accidentally stumbling into running an entire revolution and kicking ass at it, and literally everyone who sees her thinks she's awesome and they're right.

Phospher is supremely fucked up in SO many ways it never needed to be like this it was always going to end like this. He's so good at manipulating people, at making a script and sticking to it perfectly, but the one thing he never accounted for was someone actually genuinely caring about him. He's always had to force it. He's not used to being loved and he hates it so much he needs to kill someone over it.

Chell was just supposed to be the fun cute little friend and she turned into an absolute FREAK. Phospher was her rebound crush gone too far and it's teaching her things about herself that she had no idea how to process such as how much she likes being tossed around like a toy. And she's soooooo cute and silly about it <3

2. Oldest OC I still actively use in stuff would probably be Wally actually! A lot of my older OCs have kind of been gently placed on a shelf. But even in his different iterations, Wally is still around!

3. Sona design origins are me going Oh Man That'd Be Cute and then drawing it :]

I've changed how I've drawn my hair as it's gotten longer (haven't cut it in over a year!) And I based where the color in it is off of where I'd put in this like. Colored goopy hair gel. I've only gotten it dyed once and it was purple for like a week MAX and then it was just blonde so :/ finding new ways to color it I suppose!

The gear sweater is because I think robots are cool as hell, and the yellow/blue sleeves are a reference to my VTuber design!

The skirt/socks combos tend to swap randomly depending on my mood but consistent ones are my bee socks I own irl, striped/spotted socks based off of an old BookFanGeek VTuber design I believe? (I'm PRETTY sure that design is no longer in use but I thought it was cute) and a black skirt with rainbow hearts on it (based on gloves I own irl)

The fingerless gloves and the boots (minus the giant purple spikes) are also things I own!

[atempause-art]

Asks 7 & 19 for Ben? Also 6 for whoever you wanna talk about!

7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

his body type lol. massive chunk of my ocs are all old as balls back from early 2010's dA from edgy teen circles where we were all drawing skinny characters tim burton style. those old ocs never escaped it really, even if i tried to update them. i'm having a lot of fun drawing motherfucker build like a brick shithouse after years of drawing stickmen bwahah

19. What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

this is weird to explain but like. the silhouette? i am SO fed up with the "your characters needs instantly recognizable silhouette" that i started designing characters with very little extras stinking out as possible. ben, ljuba and beton are all result of that actually. ofc they ARE still recognizable, ben just on the amount of spikes alone. but still. it was fun limiting self to no long flowing clothes or hair or whatever extras. i should maybe try to put him in a shirt tho lol

i also love that now that i started writing him he just. keeps collecting scars. my man can't catch a break. how many am i gonna add

HATE HIM FACE. i redesigned him like 3 times? it's good now but i fucked myself over here, i like drawing expressions! and he has the expressions of a muppet, that maw is either fully open or closed, jfc i tried to get some sketches done but it doesnt. work.

6. What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

picking adam bcs he's the only one with more than one idea behind him lol

that being said together he's a mess. i wanted to make him look cool so he's got this leather jacket right? on the back is a combo of symbols for sulfur bcs he's from hell and veles, slavic god of the underworld - hey it's his job to bring souls here oops im realizing the back is nowhere on the refs now bonus fun fact it's bcs i got 3 different jackets with shit on their backs i LOVE using my jackets to express self

and then i went full meme bcs haha slavic oc and put him in adidas sweatpants.

character asks

[versegm]

Hi ! Yes, yellow. What's your favorite thing about the pink haired knight ? Why do you ship him with our resident goddess of the underworld?

Was gonna be cheeky and reply with more Orlando Furioso facts, but since you specified pink-haired knight, this will be a fate post.

The exploration of insanity in fiction is a topic that is dear to my heart. What do you define as insanity? Where do you draw the line between sane and insane? And once you're insane- so what? Is it a bad thing? Is it worthy of being unpersoned? What does it mean for you, for the people around you?

Astolfo is a character who provides a lot of really interesting answers to these questions, as someone who actively prefers being insane over being sane (due to becoming painfully aware that everything is dangerous and scary and they're so weak they can't stop their buds from dying when they're sane). Which I find to be a really cool subversion of an otherwise commonly (and usually poorly) explored idea. There's a bunch of other cool shit about them that people would know about if they actually read Apocrypha or paid any attention to them outside of porn doujins but you asked for my favorite one so here it is.

As to why I ship them with Ereshkigal (still the fate one) it's mostly a combo of "they're two characters I like so I want them together" + "Astolfo goes into hell for funsies in the furioso & Ereshkigal has at least one myth about being seduced by an ambiguously gendered person" but I do think they'd pair up well together. It's easy to forget because Guda doesn't give a shit, but Ereshkigal is a pretty gloomy and unsettling person- she does outright tells you "man wish I could keep you safe in a cage forever :/" Like there's a reason why Ishtar warns you about her initially. Girl's a bit fucked up. I don't think Astolfo would give a shit though because "a hero without reason would not fear god" to quote Apocrypha so I think they should both fuck nasty.
