#Not that i had anything against the ship it just wasn't my fave

[moltensmusings]

I still remember the anger of watching people try to paint Fjord as someone infantalizing jester for going along with Marion's request to protect her rather than shutting her down. How people were like "FJORD SHOULD KNOW JESTER IS STRONG HES SO DUMB AND DOESN'T DESERVE HER" as they tried insulting fjord and jester while pitting them against other ships.

Even back then I knew their take was so void of the actual context of the show but my anger made it difficult to articulate.

Fjord knows jester is strong. Like the reoccurring joke of her being one of the strongest characters in the nine makes he clear. He's seen her fight, he's aware of her strengths. Him going along with Marion's request is what you do to any parent that is worried about their kid. It's simply being a good friend. You agree to take care of your friend and keep them safe because it helps put their parent at ease and let's them trust that their kid will be well Ioved.

Telling Marion "she can handle herself" would've felt like a dismissal of Marion's concerns. And even beyond that, jester herself wasn't phased by the request because that's simply the type of mother Marion was. Jester was the most important thing in her life. Her wanting to make sure these people she barely knew put her daughter above all else (especially the one it was clear her daughter had a crush on) make sense. Turning it into some "fjord doesn't believe in jester/this is sexist" moment is to twist the original narrative to serve your own purpose.

And this wasn't even the only time the fandom try to pretend fjord was shitty compared to the others. Several people acted like only fjord was doubtful of the traveler/tried to convince jester to be wary of him. The whole group was wary of the traveler. And for good reason. To them, some cult like figure had such a hold on their friend that she would do anything for him and they didn't know how far that extended. Throughout the story most of the nein either make comments about him being weird or make fun of the idea.

Fjord isn't alone in this. Is it right? No not really. But trying to push him as the problem to raise your faves and justify their romance with jester over him comes off making it seem like you willfully misunderstood canon moments of the show to feed your own interpretation.

It is perfectly fine and valid to not like a ship, but I'm so tired of people altering the canon narrative and acting like fjorester wasn't built up or didn't have moments just to feed their own preference.

I finally sat down and watched all episodes of Helluva Boss, finished in like a day in just two sittings (only reason I didn't finish sooner is because I had to wake up early yesterday).

I'm ngl, just like how Lucifer was my reason for watching Hazbin Hotel back in February, Stolas was my reason for finally checking out Helluva Boss after coming across some clips... Guess I officially have a thing for silly depressed dads (who would do anything for their daughters).

Also, as someone who grew up in the 2000s era of fandoms I'm still used to just assuming gay ships aren't canon, and though I knew Stolitz was canon, and I know HH/HB have very good gay rep, I still wasn't prepared for HOW canon they were going to be... Like damn, I can't remember the last time I saw a ship this horny without having to rely on fanart.

Like expected Stolas is my fave HB character (Lucifer is still my fave Hellaverse character), but I think my fave relationship is actually Moxxie and Millie. I knew practically nothing about these characters going in, but was pleasantly suprised by how quickly I fell for them. I am aboslutely weak for "us against the world" type of couples and Millie going feral whenever Moxxie was in danger gave me so much life!

But what do I do with my life now that I've watched all currently available Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss episodes...

I’m not team black or green, and I’m also only watching this show for nettles - but I have to say that the only racist comments I see are coming from team black. They are so racist it’s insane.

1. They treat the velaryons like Rhaenyra & her (white) son’s cheer squad . They can’t fathom the velaryons being their own people with their own thoughts and opinions.

2. Their treatment of vaemond. They justify his murder for daring to speak up against their fav. They gaslight anyone who supports vaemond’s right to be angry that his house is being stolen by a white kid and claim that Luke “legally” isn’t a bastard and that we are misogynistic.

3. Their treatment of laena - they either claim that she was Rhaenyra’s lesbian (?) lover or that daemon never cared about her - they refuse to acknowledge that daemon was happily in love with her.

4. Their treatment of nettles.

I’m so done. I’ve just had a conversation with one of those insane stans, and they said that I’m “playing the victim” for pointing out their racism. I’m so sick and tired of hearing that I’m “playing the victim” or that I’m being “over dramatic” for wanting actual black representation and calling out performative activism.

Team Green has its moments(I don’t love how some of them treat Nettles), but Team Black is indeed objectively worse.

I have yet to see any other sub-fanbase go on rants about how there are too many Black people on the show so it’s fine to cut the only in-canon Black character(Nettles), that they are glad the n-word died(Laena), claim that a Black woman’s Afro-hair is dirty(the leaked photo on the beach), calling people monkeys(again Laena), comparing characters to animals(Laena and Nettles), the legally biracial fiasco, denying that there is racism in the books and that their fave is one of the perpetrators, saying that Daemon sleeping with Black women is a detrimental character trait…It’s a mess.

Honestly, most of the viscerally racist stuff that has been said had been geared toward Nettles or Laena(Vaemond’s a close third) because they are perceived as a threat.

Which shows you how f*cked up these people are. They are legitimately willing to resort to racism to attack fictional characters over a fictional ship.

And the kicker is, they don’t see anything wrong with their behavior because: I’m not racist. I have no problem with good Black people(aka the ones who kiss up to my fave), ignore me saying how a white woman (who I hate cause she's a Green 🥦, but she's still white) with less plot development is somehow more relevant than the girl who shows that you are more than the blood in your veins. That's not relevant. You wouldn't like her if she wasn't Black!

Let's not get into the fact that they only like Baela, Rhaena, Corlys, and Alyn because they haven't/don't do anything. The moment we see them have a personality and it’s not solely about worshipping Missy Anne they'll turn on them.

If the show ends Rhaena’s arc marrying a Hightower they'll call her a whore and a traitor. If Baela calls out Missy Anne for not being motherly towards her and her sister they'll call her ungrateful. When Corlys puts his blood first he’ll be treated just like Ser Vaemond. Alyn will be hated not for saving the psychotic white woman(who arrested his father and tried to arrest his brother) in her hour of need.

If what they said about Rhaena taking Nettles’ place actually happened, do you know how upset they'd actually be with Daemon even putting his actual child first before Miss Maegor? She'd become enemy #1. He is not allowed to love anyone more than her.

They also love to defend their deplorable behavior by saying the characters they are attacking are fictional so it doesn’t matter.

B*tch it’s no longer just fictional when you call someone(even if it’s a fictional character) the n-word.

When you are actively trying to take away what little representation we do have and hurling slurs and stereotypes used against Black people in real life for centuries to attack characters you don’t like, you’ve gone past fiction and gone straight into a Klan rally.

There is loads of evidence of their demented behavior. Anyone with a working brain knows they aren’t right in the head and what they are saying is wrong.

Hell, they themselves know what they are saying is f*cked up, which is why they try to gaslight you into believing they are the innocent victims and you've just lost your mind. When that doesn't work and you provide them with the receipts for their bullcrap it’s crickets cause they’ve gone crying in the corner 🦗

They keep crying and bemoaning about Miss Maegor being called a whore. That isn't exactly nice, but you can't flip things around and make yourself look like the injured party when you are a f*cking racist.

For Christ's sake, these people are just all-around hypocrites. Some of them have called Nettles a whore(the worst is yet to come with her) yet they spaz out when you say Miss Maegor and start yelling about misogyny.

They are the same ones who mocked Laena dying(and her son) yet they cry when you call a dragon baby a lizard.

You can't claim that it's all fiction and then start crying when your fave who is also fictional is “attacked.”

There is a good reason she's being “attacked” considering she's an awful character with next to zero redeeming qualities(which is probably why she's attracted the worst fanbase).

You can't claim misogyny and perpetrate it yourself. You can't claim to not be a racist and then overtalk Black women when they call you out on your behavior and then call them crazy for defending themselves. You can't force Black women to overlook your faves racism for the sisterhood and then spit in our faces when we don't. That's not how this works.

I could go on, but I'm going to stop here cause it's pointless. You just have to laugh and bow out cause talking to them is like talking to a brick wall.

Just finished watching s3 of Teen Wolf so here's some thoughts:

THE STETER "help me" HOSPITAL SCENE WHERE PETER LOOKS SO CONFUSED WAAAAHHH

On that note THE STETER BUTT TOUCH!!

My god I love Noah Stilinski best dad award

Isaac is really growing on me

R.I.P. Allison you were ok ig I sobbed for your father tho, Chris babygirl you did NOT deserve that added trauma

Speaking of Chris the cherek was OFF THE CHARTS this season I loved it the CHRIS TIED UP IN A CHAIR SCENE?? OOF

I'm also extremely sad for the twins like :( redemption through death isn't my fave at all and also they were funny... I know only Aiden died but I have a feeling we won't be seeing Ethan ever again so it's as if he died too rekt

I knew about Peter and Malia so that wasn't a shocker

You know what was a shocker in NEGATIVE? The fucking happening between Stiles and Malia and not because I ship steter but because?? They?? Barely spoke to each other and the writers just??? Made them fuck???? Was that necessary? Was it plot relevant? Was it only to make Stiles fuck someone since he was the only virgin one left?? Odd choice, did not like it -100/10

I also knew about Allison's alleged dead aunt coming back as a... Werejaguar? I think? Bitch can't stay dead UGH

Backtracking a bit THE RAVE SCENE WHERE STILES GETS KISSED BY THAT GIRL AND HE GOES "don't you like girls?" "yeah I do, don't you?" "yes of course I love them... So, you like boys too?" "Yeah, do you?" AND HE JUST STOPS AND STARES INTO THE VOID PONDERING IT?? HELLO????? BISEXUAL STILES REAL??

Anyway Lydia my beloved stop dating hot blonde guys they all end up dead or gone. I know she'll end up dating stiles and there's a reason I have that shiptag blocked ok can the writers let her have a fucking male friend? Idk let her kiss a girl she's a Banshee she deserves that I think.

Scott is... Better, ig than in the previous seasons. The whole True Alpha thing was SO gary stue but pop off ok it was fun and at least he's a slighter better friend now, although he keeps on following pussy around while something bad is happening like CAMOOON

Kira is nice, can't have it against her for her shitty tastes in boyfriend material cause she's funny pretty kind strong also I love myself some Japanese mythology so I welcome this new addition to the team

All in all I really enjoyed this season, I binged it in like, three days and I loved ALL the Stiles centric moments with the Nogitsune, although I feel there could've been something MORE, like going deeper into WHY Stiles of all people and letting us see more of the internal turmoil. But that's just me loving to inflict some sweet sweet desperation and torture on my faves, although I did tear up a bit when they thought he had the same illness as his mother like OOF low blow.

Anyway insane how anything Stiles related always circles back to Peter somehow, really makes you think 🤔

[mads-nixon]

i LOVED those chuckler headcanons - he's my absolute fave in the pacific and there's so little writing about him! could i request some more, maybe chuckler with a medic reader during wartime?

Chuckler Dating a Medic

Chuckler Juergens x Medic!Reader

Masterlist

A/N: Hi anon! Thanks for the request!! Love this gif (peep my baby hoosier 🫶) this is about the fictional portrayal of the H company boys on the show. nothing but love and respect for veterans on this blog!

Being assigned to H company, you meet the boys on the ship over.

The first time Lew sees you, he has to do a complete double-take.

At first he's like, "That's a woman," and then he takes a good look at you..." Wow. that's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," type vibes.

He immediately gets a crush on you, and by the time y'all deploy to Guadalcanal, the poor fella is hopelessly in love, despite not knowing you for long.

Bill and Leckie's teasing is unending, and it's the only time you see Lew clam up and get embarrassed.

When the company first encounters the Japs at Tenaru, Lew's heart is in his throat every time he sees you dart from foxhole to foxhole, responding to the call for a corpsman.

He tried to keep tabs on you, but amongst the smoke and bullets in the air, he lost you. Even though he wanted to go searching for you, Lew knew you were good at your job and that he had his own to do, but it didn't stop him from worrying.

When morning came and the dust settled, he saw you sitting in a hole, staring off into space, your dungarees covered in blood (it's not yours). He freaks out and slides next to you, asking you a million questions.

Lew cups your cheeks gently to get you to look at him, and instinctually, you lean forward and connect your lips. It was s short kiss (really like a peck), but it shut Chuckler up, and he stared at you dumbfounded.

"You just kissed me," he says, his eyes wide.

You smile, your teeth a contrast to the dirt and blood on your face. "I did."

Then...boom, he asks you to be his girlfriend, and you ofc say yes. You've gotta keep it on the DL, but the boys know and joke about it constantly, but you also know they would take the secret to the grave if they had to.

Any time Lew would get even the slightest bit hurt, and I mean like a tiny cut on his finger or something, you'd go in full medic mode.

"I need to disinfect it," and "Let me see, hon."

Deep down, you're absolutely terrified of losing him, so you kind of go crazy making sure you do everything in your power to keep him healthy.

You're probably the mom friend of the group and always make sure they're all doing okay. In turn, Chuckler is always there for you if you want to talk about anything.

Being a medic is draining, and there are some days that you just lay in his arms at night, trying to forget the blood and death you'd witnessed that day.

By the time you got to Melbourne, you were almost to your breaking point. Seeing boys blown to bits and crying for their mothers day after day became too much.

Instead of going out and exploring, you stayed in the stadium and slept like Hoosier. You told Chuckler to go have fun, but he insisted on staying with you. He sat propped against the legs of your cot, rubbing your hand gently, trying to coax you to sleep.

As the months went on in the Australian city, everything seemed to get better, and you took advantage of the time you had with Lew.

You went to the beach, learned how to play cricket, and went on a million picnic dates.

When your orders came that you were going to ship out again, Lew went out, bought a ring, and proposed.

You say yes, and he puts the ring on a chain for you to wear.

On Cape Gloucester, you were often caught up in the medic tent treating infections and other illnesses like the enuresis that Bob ended up developing.

Pavuvu was even worse when it came to sickness. Runner was badly sick with malaria, and you and Lew were tending to him the best you could, but there wasn't much you could do.

You'd stay up all night beside his bedside, keeping tabs on his fever and making sure he didn't need anything. After a few days of this, you were dead on your feet, and Chuckler had to step in.

He'd gently urge you to bed and sit beside your cot, running his hand through your hair. Within seconds, soft snores escaped your mouth and you were out like a light.

From Pavuvu, you went to Peleliu, and nothing could ever prepare you for what you saw there. It was the bloodiest, most horrifying thing you'd witnessed so far. By the time the Marines took the airfield, Leckie, Bill, and Runner had been hit, and you had no idea where Lew was.

When you found him, you almost cried, and he engulfed you in a HUGE hug, lifting you off your feet for a moment.

The pair of you stick side by side through the campaign on Peleliu until he gets hit, and when he does, you patch him up as you try not to fall apart.

Finally, you're called back off the line, and you're by Lew's side the whole time as he's carried on the stretcher to the medical ship. You couldn't go with him, no matter how much you wanted to, so you said a tearful goodbye and kissed him softly, promising you'd see him soon.

You wrote him as you made your way through Okinawa, and you burst into tears when the news of the war's end reached you.

Lew was waiting for you when you finally got to come home. The first thing y'all do is go to the courthouse and get married!

The two of you spend the rest of your lives living outside Chicago in a small town that was quiet and peaceful, except for the trouble your kids caused when became teenagers!

7. You can take it. And 10. Spread your legs wider

---

He hadn't expected being friends with a sea monster to go this way.

Really, Jack hadn't had any clue what way being friends with a sea monster was suppose to go, but laid out on a sun- warmed rock, quickly cooling under him as the sun set rapidly past the horizon, with one leg thrown over said sea monster's shoulder as a tongue, long and smoother than it had any right to be worked over his cock, Jack was pretty sure things didn't normally go like this. He gasped as his flesh was licked over, wet heat descending on him, and his back arched off the rock. His fingers clawed at the rough surface of the rock, finding no purchase. Instead, he lifted one shaking hand to his head, grabbing at his own wet hair and tugging in an effort to bring back thought.

"Pitch!" he cried out as his length was swallowed, sharp teeth barely grazing sensitive skin. A shock of fear coursed through him, making his whole body shake more than the cold water on his skin, and he couldn't stifle a moan as he tried to buck further into that mouth. Those teeth should be nowhere near his skin, certainly not wrapped around his most sensitive area, but the danger was what had initially led him to even meeting Pitch; it's part of what appealed to him when he decided he wanted to stay friends with the sea creature, and the danger certainly appealed to him when Pitch moaned low in his throat as he sucked him in, his nose burying in the soft curls at the base of Jack's member. Pitch could kill him in a hundred different ways, be it with teeth or claws or even drowning if he felt like being boring about it. Instead, he chose to press his weight down on Jack's hips with gentle hands, careful of his claws nicking into soft flesh. He held Jack in place so the little human wouldn't be tempted to buck wildly in his mouth and cut himself on sharp teeth, and Jack appreciated that immensely.

It was also agonizingly frustrating.

"Oh, god, Pitch, please!"

The hand that wasn't in his own hair sought the creature between his legs, back arching as Pitch licked him from root to tip, long tongue wrapped around his cock along with his lips. Jack's hand found feathery black hair, taking a handful to just hold on for dear life as Pitch gave him pleasure like he had never felt before. Pitch hummed in his throat, low and guttural, the vibrations traveling down Jack's length and straight to his core. He gasped and arched, yanking at his own hair as Pitch swallowed around him. His orgasm hit him, making him nearly scream from the unexpected force of it. Pitch hummed again, delighted, and Jack gasped as he tried to get his body to relax after going completely rigid. Pitch kept sucking and licking at him, Jack well past the point of over-sensitive, and he kicked his leg against the sea monster's back.

"N-no more," he cried out weakly.

What sounded like a huff of laughter escaped his friend, and Pitch slowly pulled away. His tongue was still wrapped around Jack's cock, dangling out of Pitch's mouth as the shadowy creature met his gaze, grinning. His tongue slid slowly from him, Jack moaning and biting his lip. He was unable to look away from that bright gaze.

Pitch had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. They were the first thing he had seen, glowing gold in a sea of black where Jack had been diving off shore. There was a cave system at the base of the cliffs, an old lighthouse standing guard, and Jack loved to explore their depths. The water was just deep enough to hide some old sailing ships just below the surface, and Jack had taken to exploring their holds. The old boats were already picked clean by scavengers and researchers of anything that could have once been of value, but Jack simply enjoyed diving for the love of it, and being able to swim through the old halls and rooms of the wreckage was as thrilling as diving through any cave. The sea life that grew there was new and fascinating, the fish he met always breathtaking in their otherworldly beauty. The ocean called to him, and Jack was easily pulled along by her will.

It was in the dark halls of one of these ships that he met Pitch.

The sun was setting, Jack reluctantly maneuvering his way through the ship to leave and head home when he felt a chill. It wasn't the usual chill that came from being so deep in the water, nor was it from how far north these waters were. He was used to the cold by now and had grown up swimming in these cold waters that he knew the proper precautions to take. He knew what wetsuits to wear at any given time of the day. He knew when to return to the surface and how often to check his oxygen tanks. He knew first and foremost not to panic.

So that was, of course, the first thing he did.

His instincts screamed at him that there was danger nearby, despite him having not seen any sort of predators in the area after diving there a hundred times now. He managed to keep his heart rate under control long enough to swim through the wreckage, but as he came upon the nearest exit, his way was blocked.

A body, one he had never seen before and only heard about in fairy tales and horror stories from old seamen, floated just inside the entrance to the ship. It's body was a large inky mass, blocking out what little light filtered down this far, and had it not been for the small flashlight clipped to Jack's suit, he would have been trapped in complete darkness. The mass in front of him writhed in a way that made his stomach twist in anxiety, tendrils of black weaving every which way in the dark, making the creature seem even bigger. His little light could only reveal an inky black body, barely noticeably shimmering in the light like wet velvet. The thing drifted closer to him, and Jack kicked back hard away from it.

His light glanced off the thing as he swam back, plunging it in darkness once more. Two glowing eyes peered at him, pupils slit vertically like a snake, predatory. Jack froze under their gaze, his body seizing in fear as the mass pushed closer.

He had been terrified that day, paralyzed by those glowing eyes and his own fear. He couldn't look away as the creature circled him, turning slowly with it to maintain eye contact. His oxygen levels were quickly lowering as his breathing continued to spike, chest heaving. When the monster moved closer, invading his personal, Jack's back hit a wall, trying to get away. His heavy breaths came faster, and those glowing eyes blinked slowly at him. The creature tilted its head.

Suddenly, Jack gasped audibly as he was wrapped in something simultaneously firm and squishy. His breather fell from his mouth, Jack sucking in a lungful of cold, salty water. He first reaction was to cough, horror growing within him when he tried to reach up but found his arms bound by his sides. He struggled, tears filling his eyes as panic made him breathe in more water. His vision quickly darkened, barely noticing the rush of water around him as the thing around him tightened.

One second, he was against the wall of an old ship. The next, he was laid out on a bed of sand, two palms pressed to his chest and pushing. He quickly rolled to his side, vomiting up water and coughing violently. A hand rubbed his back as Jack pressed his head to cool sand, breathing heavy and ragged. It took him a minute to register his oxygen tank was no longer strapped to his back.

When he finally had enough strength back to look over his shoulder, he realized the sun had set completely during his panic attack under the waves. Two brilliantly gold eyes stared down at him, unblinking. Jack's breathing picked up as he realized the creature was hovering over him in the sand. It could breathe air, too?

He tried to crawl away, weak hands grasping at sand, but the thing tilted its head, surprisingly human in nature. A hand, strong and firm - human, save for the claws - nothing like whatever had been wrapped around him in the ship, was placed on his shoulder and stilled his struggles.

"Breathe," the creature murmured. Its voice was silky and soft, distinctly masculine, and it sent shivers down Jack's spine. He told himself it was just from the cold and almost drowning, too stunned the thing could speak at all. "Rest."

Jack couldn't look away from those eyes.

It wasn't until he realized that something was wrapped firm around his leg, writhing in a way that was distinctly inhuman, that he finally managed to tear his eyes away. He tried to sit up, to look down at whatever had a hold of him, but the creature recoiled. Whatever had a grip on him loosened and slid away, the inhuman eyes disappearing in the dark.

"W... Wait!" Jack sat up as he heard a splash in the waves lapping gently at the beach, realizing too late the creature was gone.

It had taken him several more minutes before he managed to stand on steady legs again, gathering his discarded gear to hike back up to his house. He waved off his mother's concerns and his sister's questions, going through the motions of storing his gear, showering, and eating dinner. All the while, he thought of his encounter, of gold eyes and black shadows. He fell into bed with the ghost of a touch on his leg and wrapped himself in his blankets to mimic the feel of... something wrapped around him, but it didn't envelop him near as tight as the creature had, and he drifted off into a troubled sleep, dreams filled with gold.

He lasted two days before his curiosity got the better of him.

Jack double and triple checked his gear before heading down to the ocean, hesitating for only a minute or two before shaking his head at his own ridiculousness and plunging in. Drowning was an occupational hazard when it came to diving, and he refused to let one incident hold him back.

Especially when he had a possible sea monster to find.

Jack gasped as suckers pulled at his skin, sticking to him and popping as they released. He squirmed under their sticky exploration of him, arching into the one sliding over his chest. It slid over his nipples, catching on each nub individually, making him moan. A long tongue licked over him, where leg met hip, by-passing his twitching length, over his stomach. It dipped into his navel, flicking in and out, and Jack quivered. More tentacles crept over his skin, snaking over his arms. The one on his chest settled decisively over both nipples, pulling incrementally so his nipples were tugged with each short pull of the arm. It made Jack whine, arching and writhing as he tried to escape the constant push and pull of pressure. That long tongue licked up from his belly, up his chest, the suckers pulling off on one side so Pitch could get his mouth on it instead. Jack threw his head as he moaned loudly.

He was glad they were so far from shore. No one would be able to hear him this far in the rocky outcroppings, especially with the sun casting its last few rays over the horizon. Ha wouldn't be able to see much of anything either, save for Pitch's glowing yellow eyes, but that was part of what made it so fun.

Teeth sank into the meat of his chest around his nipple, sharp and piercing, and Jack screamed. The tendrils on his arms held him in place as he jerked, intending to push Pitch's head away, but the creature soothed the mark with his hot tongue, licking over the punctures and sucking. He moaned as he did, sounding almost feral. Jack wrapped his legs around his waist, pulling the bigger male closer, careful to avoid the slats of gills on his ribs. He rubbed himself against the sticky-smooth shadow that made up Pitch's lower half, only a little put-off by the fact he didn't feel a matching hardness from Pitch. It helped to return some blood back to his brain and remember that Pitch didn't have the same kind of anatomy. Jack knew that. He had done extensive research on that.

Pitch trailed kisses from his aching chest, Jack arching as the suckers returned to his nipple to resume their attentions, kissing and licking up his neck. He turned his head with a pleased sigh, giving the sea monster more room to work. A giggle huffed out of him as Pitch licked at his ear.

"You beautiful thing..." whispered Pitch, sharp teeth nipping the lobe. "You really don't mind all this, do you?" He kissed Jack's cheek.

Jack turned his head to meet him, catching those lips with his own, tasting the sea and adoring every second of it. He licked into Pitch's mouth, meeting that long tongue with his own short and stubby one. Moaning as it wrapped around his to suck, Jack rutted a little harder against his waist, his cock starting to swell with renewed interest. A tentacle rested at the dip of his leg and hip, rubbing up and down as though stroking itself. Jack's cheeks went red as he thought of which of Pitch's arms it might be, and he pulled away, sucking on Pitch's long tongue as he did until it slipped free with a light pop.

"Wh-why would I?" Jack muttered back. The back of a clawed finger stroked down his cheek, Jack leaning into it. "You're hot, and I'm interested. That sounds like a good time to me." He gave a shaky grin.

Pitch stared down at him with those bright eyes. "Last chance to back out of this, Jack." He kissed trembling lips once again. "Surely you have plenty of suitors waiting for you on land."

Jack scoffed. "Suitors? What are you, a hundred years old?" When Pitch looked back up at him with heavy-lidded eyes, Jack's eyes having adjusted enough to see his mouth pull taught. He looked away. "Dont... don't answer that." He tugged at the binds of his arms, the tendrils not budging save to get a better grip on him. "A-Anyway, you don't seem like you'll let me go anytime soon."

Pitch leaned in close as he tilted Jack to face him with a warm hand on his cheek, hovering just over Jack's lips. "Do you want me to let you go?" he asked softly.

Jack met his bright eyes, his breathing shaky, his body spasming under the constant pull at his skin from the various suckers on his body. His palm was hot, his thumb tingling on his skin where it stroked his cheek. The hold on his arms was firm; he couldn't break free if he tried, but it wasn't bruising. If Pitch wanted to snap him like a twig, he could; he'd seen those monstrous tendrils stop and break a charging bull shark that swam a little too far north over the summer in half. Pitch nearly caused him to drown when they first met. The eight arms that made up his lower half had left behind bruises ten times over as they had gotten to know each other, until Pitch figured out the correct amount to pressure to apply to hold him without hurting him.

Jack had no doubt that he would let go if he told him to.

Instead, he smiled, wiggling one arm until Pitch got the hint and released it. Jack reached up to place it to his sea monster's shadowy cheek. He smiled as Pitch leaned into his touch, closing his eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere," he said softly. Pitch opened bright eyes again to stare down at him. His fingers slid back into feather-soft hair, tugging. "Kiss me?"

Pitch did.

He wasted no time devouring Jack's lips for his own, angling his head just right to plunge his tongue into his mouth. They both moaned, Jack's writhing renewed with a vengeance as the suckers sticking to his body continued their exploration with loud, vulgar pop's all over his skin. The other hand found his hip, gripping hard with a dig of nails into soft flesh to encourage him to move against Pitch once more. The tentacle that rubbed over his crotch - the only one with no suckers at the end of it - circled his dick, squeezing gently. Jack threw his head back with a gasping moan, pulling away from Pitch's mouth so the big octopus could latch onto his neck, teeth digging in and piercing thin skin. Jack screamed.

"What the fu-uck..." he trailed off with a moan as Pitch attached his lips to the spot and sucked, licking over the wound. He then trailed kisses back down his neck, over his chest, and down his belly. All the while, the tendril wrapped around his length jerked him in long, smooth pulls, Jack hearing Pitch's breathing stutter just so. His face was aflame once again by the time Pitch settled over his crotch, shrieking as that hot tongue licked the tip of him to poke inside the hole.

"Gods, you taste wonderful..." Pitch growled into the night. He licked along Jack's thigh, teeth leaving light scratches as he nipped at his skin. All around them was silent, save for the gentle crash if waves on the rocks, of Pitch's large body slipping in and out of the water. Every time Jack's skin started to dry in the cool night air, tightening uncomfortably from the salt water, another splash of water would rush over him, dripping from one of Pitch's many appendages. His body was alight with sensation, and he tossed his head.

"Please don't tease," he whined in frustration. Pitch placed both his hands on Jack's thighs, lightly scratching his nails over soft skin.

"I wouldn't dream of such a thing," he lied, so painfully obvious Jack couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, yeah? That's not what this thing tells me!" He gently slapped the tendril still pulsating on his chest, only to gasp as his hand was caught in another. It held his arm up by his head, the one on his chest undulating even more over his nipples for the comment. He was sure to have little circular marks all over his body when the night was over, and he dreaded the excuse he would have to give his mother.

He could not wait to look in a mirror.

"Spread your legs for me," Pitch murmured in that dark way of his. Jack moaned, opening up as far as he could. Pitch clicked his tongue at him, and Jack worried fleetingly that he might have disappointed his lover. "Now, now, Jack, you can do better than that." He gasped as two sticky-smooth tendrils wrapped around his legs, the suckers catching on his skin as they took a firm hold. "Spread your legs wider." He whined as his legs were stretched even further.

He scrambled at the skin of the thick black arms near his hands, his fingers sinking into squishy flesh but unable to grab a decent hold of them. Pitch manhandled him to lay the way he wanted, bending Jack nearly in half, legs spread wide to expose his ass while holding his knees down by his ribs. Jack's face flushed deeper than it ever has, realizing too late that his entrance was exposed to the hungry monster watching him.

"There you are..." Pitch muttered, hungry and dark, and Jack felt warm heat on his ass before he threw his head back with a shout, eyes wide as that wickedly long tongue plunged inside him.

His moans were loud and guttural, Pitch's tongue flicking over his prostate with each thrust inside. Jack tried to squirm away, unable to do more than shake and accept the assault, turn on two as he couldn't even thrust up into the tentacle wrapped around his length. It slid up and down his cock with each torturous prod of Pitch's tongue, and Jack was soon as shaking, drooling mess. His legs were held fast, muscles twitching with each sharp flick of the tongue, his arms trying to pull at the appendages holding him captive. He couldn't even thrust down on the muscle, completely immobile as Pitch gave him pleasure the likes of which he had never known.

Not that he had known much before Pitch.

"I'm... I'm gonna-!" He screamed as his orgasm hit him hard and fast, a tentacle cradling his head as he threw it back. Waves crashed around them, drowning out his noises to anyone who might be standing out on the rocky bluffs this late at night, but Jack could only feel the spray of water on his body, splashing his sides as Pitch continued to suck at his hole. His ass felt uncomfortably wet, the tendril milking his cock for everything he had squeezing just shy of becoming painful. Jack tried to catch his breath, wheezing slightly as his lungs were compressed a little more as Pitch tries to bend him further in half. Jack felt like he was gonna break, tears beading in his eyes as the pleasure on his cock tipped over the edge of pain, and couldn't even kick the bigger male off him. "S-stop! Oh, god, stop, I can't-!"

The tendril on his cock slid away. Jack breathed a sigh of relief, Pitch pulling his tongue out to lean over him once again. His eyes shown with a ferocity Jack wasn't used to, his breathing heavy and uneven as he licked up Jack's mess, all the while maintaining eye contact. Jack couldn't look away even if he wanted to, moaning as the arm on his chest suddenly pulled free. He gasped as his nipples were exposed to cool air, sensitive and sore, only to nearly scream again when Pitch latched onto the unbitten one. His tongue flicked and curled around the nub, sucking and nibbling gently. Meanwhile, the arm that was free of suckers on the last few inches slid over his crotch, teasing ticklish skin at the seam of his leg and hip. He tried to squirm, tried to get a word out , but Pitch bit his chest again, Jack screaming at sharp teeth sinking into his flesh.

"Just like that, Jack..." Pitch growled into his skin after he unhooked his teeth. Jack lay there, a panting, sweaty mess, trying to catch his breath and relax his shaking muscles, but he tensed as something new prodded at his entrance. "Relax for me, darling... You've been so good for me, Jack, just a little more..."

Pitch's voice sounded broken and near hoarse. Jack whined, barely managing to stop seizing enough for the appendage to poke in. It was no bigger than maybe two fingers to start, but he knew how thick Pitch's arms were, had spent enough time studying them to know how quick the stretch would widen. He moaned, pathetic and pained, his cock barely managing to twitch in response. Two hands pressed into the rock by his head, Jack prying open his eyes to meet Pitch's, the big creature hovering above him in the dark. Jack could just barely make out his shadowy features past the fever-bright eyes, but Pitch's cheeks seemed darker than usual, his mouth gone slack. He wondered if the other male was blushing.

"P-Pitch..."

"I got you, love," Pitch whispered. His voice cracked on the last word, Jack's heart swelling at the sound of it. The tendril cradling his head was gentle, angling him just so. Pitch leaned down and kissed him, gentle but all-encompassing, claiming Jack for his own as his specialized arm pushed in a little deeper. "I got you. You're opening up so beautifully for me, Jack, you lovely little thing..."

He leaned back enough to look down the length of Jack's body, watching the arm pull out an inch or two before pushing back in. He released a guttural moan, Jack gasping at the stretch.

"I can't -" he gasped brokenly, even as his body started to relax against his will.

"You can," Pitch muttered. "You can take it, love, you can take everything I have to give you..." Jack threw his head back as his prostate was nudged, his poor abused hole clenching and making his cock twitch. "There you are..."

Pitch's breathing grew more ragged as the tentacle thrust a little hard, stretching Jack more. Jack could do nothing but take it, moaning and gasping and whining as Pitch used him as he saw fit. His mouth fell open, Pitch's tongue plundering the wet cavern, and Jack felt his eyes close. His whole body shook as with every other hard thrust, Pitch pushed in deeper. His weird tentacle-cock rubbed over his prostate with every thrust, sending spasms of painful pleasure throughout Jack's body. His cock bounced against his belly, full and painful, and Jack could only be thankful that Pitch kept his movements slow and steady - probably for his sake. Who knew what would happen to a poor little human if Pitch went fast and hard, even if Jack kinda wanted him to pick up the pace.

Pitch pulled away from the kiss, panting heavily. One big hand found Jack's cheek, stroking the skin under his eye, and Jack was made aware of the wetness there. He realized he was crying a little too late.

"Should I stop?" Pitch whispered. His voice edged on desperate as the tentacle moved a little faster. "I can - o-oh, f-fuck... I can stop, J-Jack, I-"

He looked down as he spoke, his whole body shuddering as the tentacle forced in a little deeper. It moved a little harder, Jack's peering up through bleary eyes to watch Pitch's own widen with unbearable desire.

"Fuck, you're perfect..." Pitch hissed. "Look at you... You really can take it, can't you, you perfect creature...."

Jack moaned pitifully as his head was lifted a little more. He gazed down at his own body, not quite registering what he was seeing in his foggy mind.

There was movement under his skin, a vague push and pull that aligned with every thrust of Pitch's dick. His belly protruded with every thrust in, settling again when Pitch pulled back some, only to rinse and repeat. When he made no outward signs of a reaction, Pitch paused, leaning back a little as he pulled his dick out. Jack watched with heavy breathing as his stomach flattened, his nerves sparking and lighting up as the very tip of the tentacle brushed his prostate. His cock twitched, Jack not really feeling it as something nudged his balls, fondling them gently. He moaned, clenching around the tip of the appendage. The his eyes went wide as it was suddenly shoved back in, hard and deep, and Jack wanted to throw his head as he screamed, but he was held in place, eyes locked onto his stomach and the sudden bulge that appeared as Pitch fucked him.

His body seized as yet another orgasm hit him, mouth falling slack as weak eyes watched his skin move. He flicked them up to find Pitch, the sea monster's own eyes locked on the skin of his belly, but they briefly flicked up to meet Jack's foggy blue. Jack didn't register the noise that escaped his lover, low and broken and terrifying. He barely felt the cock inside him pulse and twitch, didn't notice the way his stomach continued to expand. He only had eyes for that brilliant gold, mouth opening and closing weakly as he tried to say something, anything, beside whatever pitiful noises were escaping him just then. Pitch leaned over him, hot lips finding his easily in the dark, and Jack sighed a the strain on his body started to lax.

The cushion under his head lowered enough so his neck was no longer bent so much. The restraints on his arms loosened, suckers popping as they pulled away from his skin. His legs were slowly lowered and stretched, the tendrils massaging blood back into his limbs. More popping was heard in the quiet night, barely drowned out by the sound of the waves, but Jack couldn't really hear it. There was blood rushing in his ears as his body was moved for him, his whole body feeling more loose and relaxed than it ever had before. His belly felt full to bursting, Pitch's cock still pulsing inside him, but he felt limp and sleepy now that Pitch was no longer moving.

Pitch's tongue traced every inch of his mouth - over his teeth, sucking on his tongue. He pulled away with sharp teeth on Jack's lip, careful not to bite too hard. His eyes were heavy as they gazed down at Jack, so adoring and soft that Jack wanted to cry.

Oh, wait.

He already was.

"Shh..." Pitch soothed gently, wiping his tears away with the pads of his thumbs. "It's alright, Jack, you're alright." Jack tried to speak but couldn't, moaning low and pained. "You did so well for me, my good little Jack." The tendril inside him finally ceased its pulsing, Pitch starting to gently remove it. He moaned as he did, gazing down at Jack with a kind of hunger that made Jack feel loved. "Feel that, Jack?" Jack did, barely managing a nod as way more than what Pitch had told him would be inside him slithered out. "You took so much, and for your first time, too!" He laid a warm hard on Jack's full belly, rubbing gently. "Such a good boy..." He leaned down to kiss Jack's distended stomach. "You'd make such an exquisite parent to my spawn, Jack..." He kissed his belly again. Jack sighed.

The hand pressed down hard on his belly, Jack sucking in a sudden breath of pain. He gritted his teeth. "Wh-what..."

"Sadly," Pitch continued to mutter, regretful and resigned, "I think keeping these inside you might actually kill you."

Then he pushed down. Hard.

Jack screamed.

Something shifted inside him, multiple somethings. At the same time, two tentacles were back at his entrance, spreading his hole, and something pushed out of Jack. It squished embarrassingly, Jack's face lighting up with mortification, but Pitch leaned down to kiss him.

"It's alright, darling. I got you."

A second something popped out of Jack's body as Pitch kept up the pressure on his body. "P-Pitch... w-hat the f-fuck?"

Another slid out, Jack whining as his body tried to clench around it, trying to keep it in.

"You can't keep them, Jack," Pitch told him gently. "They won't live."

"K-keep... wh-at?"

Pitch gazed at him with those loving, bright eyes, smiling gently. "My spawn, Jack. Eggs. Maybe someday we can figure something out, but right now, your body can't hold them." As he spoke, more... eggs slid out of Jack despite his body doing the best it could to keep them in.

"You di... didn't say... there would be-eee eggs inv-ah-lved!" Jack tried to shout between panting breaths, but Pitch simply chuckled, kissing his parted lips.

"Whoops."

"Oh, fu-ah! F-fuck you!"

I just jumped so far out of my wheelhouse that I had to end it there! I am soo sorry!

[sonik-kun]

I feel a level of accountability needs to be had amongst certain wangxian stans, particularly in regards to how some of them make us JC fans feel and have us reluctant to engage with the mainstream part of the fandom due endless hounding and bullying..

Yes, for Twitter users, this is about that one poll that is going around and the conversations I've seen amongst moots about the poll..

After reading what I've read this week.. I just need to get something off my chest about how icky this fandom is sometimes and how it has us JC fans feeling all the time. So bear with me whilst I rant. It's a lot to unpack, but it has to be said.. So here I go..

So for those who dont know, there's this poll going around on twitter for best DILF/MILF.. Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji both happen to be in that poll.

To both the surprise and excitement of us JC fans, JC is doing well.. However.. So is LWJ.. and so, of course, the possibility of them two coming head to head hangs over us..

And now, in the semi-finals, JC is up against Toji from JJK, LWJ is up against Loid from Spy x Family. It seems LWJ is going to win his.. and JC fans, as a result.. Have felt the need to step away and let Toji take the win.. In fear of backlash and what's to come for our fanbase, if LWJ and JC were to face each other in the finals..

Throughout the entire tournament, we already saw a few nasty remarks from these antis, rearing their ugly heads. So we could only imagine what it would be like should the two be put up against each other.

The fact that we as a fanbase feel the need to let another character win so our favourite doesn't recieve any backlash is both upsetting and really telling of what this fandom has been reduced to.

The fact of the matter is, it shouldn't have to be this way. Us JC fans shouldn't have to be afraid to vote for our favourite character, to see him do well and win and to enter his name or his ships into other tournaments. We should be able to enjoy ourselves and have fun, free of any fandom drama and bullying. The same freedom wangxian fans get to enjoy.

I know it's just a twitter poll, and it doesn't really mean anything, but.. It's just so disheartening seeing your moots feel that way about a character they should be allowed to enjoy.. Honestly, the whole thing has just left a bad taste in my mouth.. I wasn't really a fan of LWJ due to some of his fanbase.. But the nasty attitudes I've seen in this poll, amongst many, have only further solidified that stance..

To the kind and normal wangxian fans out there, I am sorry if you are reading this. I'm not tarring you with this lot. But I hope you all understand that this is the position of most JC fans rn. We do not trust most of you because, unfortunately, the toxic but very vocal minority speaks the loudest.

It really is ruining the whole fandom experience and making MDZS look like a joke and I think that is a conversation that needs to be had.

JC fans aren't the only ones who feel this way. Anyone outside of Wangxian feels very alienated by some of the fans of the main ship.

As a result, a lot of us are afraid to enjoy our characters the same way wangxian fans do.

No Wangxian fan would ever feel afraid to enter their fave into a mainstream poll, and rightfully so. So why should we feel afraid? Why can't we enjoy our characters the same way?

Sorry, this is all mostly me rambling, but.. I just couldn't sit there and not address all the ick.. Especially whilst I was having so much fun, seeing JC doing so well and my moots being so happy as a result..

Note: Just to make it clear, in case I haven't already, I'm not upset with the JC fans who chose to no longer vote for JC towards the end of the tournament. Giving all the bullying and backlash we receive, I can see why you wouldn't want him to win for that reason. A part of me felt the same way, too. I just wish it didn't have to be that way.. It just sucks to see that some people can't behave and let others have their fun :(

Hello, I'm sure you have a lot of people here but I just wanted to say I love your content. Ranma 1/2 was my first anime and I don't really have anyone else in my life I can talk to about it. One thing I haven't seen discussed is how when the fiances have a "once and for all" battle it either ends in a tie or akane winning, favorite time this happened would have been the cooking challenge where akane only served tofu and ranma was so confused about how he wasn't getting sick to pick a winner.

I had a long reply and tumblr CRASHED AND I LOST IT 😭 first of all thank you!!! That means a lot to hear!! I don't actually get asks too often so this is rlly sweet

I agree lol I'm sure that's an ep a lot of people would consider just skippable filler and ooc bc its an ukyo/ranma ship tease one, but.......... i like it lol i didn't think it was ooc, even the damning moment at the end when ranma whispers to ukyo that he likes her better in her usual (guy) clothes comes across to me as him just being concerned that his good friend is trying to fundamentally change herself for him. Yeah it's meant to be a little flirty but he knows she likes him and is trying to boost her confidence in a way she'll be receptive to, and he makes sure akane doesn't overhear bc he doesn't want her to think he's into ukyo. I mean come on, like you said ranma was so distracted by akane's food being edible for once that he didn't even pay attention to how any of the other girls dishes tasted, it's pretty obvious who he's set on lol

I don't think ranma having to pick between suitors was ever a genuine debate despite what twitter will tell you in his mind past the first like 20 seconds of meeting each of them and going "oh she's pretty cute" before introducing akane as his fiancee lmaoooo and that said its still fun to see them egg akane on to compete against them and she's like "this is so embarrassing and stupid" and does her best anyway 💀💀💀 ranma and akane might complain the entire way but ultimately they'll do anything for each other and thats how u know its real

also my fave example of this is ~vol 30 when kodachi's rival calls ranma stupid and ugly and akane gets so offended she not only makes him go on a date w kodachi but dresses him up nice first while he's just like "what the fuck" and drags his feet abt the entire thing

[lettersfrombeyondthegrave]

So uhh christian linke saying Viktor is asexual?

First screenshot summarizes what was said, the other three are comments from the reddit post that I find very interesting

Here's the link included in the reddit post btw

I have to preface this by saying Ive seen just few posts talking ab interviews and statements of linke, never watched a full length interview or anything of him, don't know the guy, but the whole Vi thing that ended up not being a bigger center in season 2 makes me being reluctant in believing other things he says, sorry.

Before even touching on the ace part, about the first paragraph talking about how a part of the fandom shipping Viktor and jayce had no influence to the writing for season 2:

Number one feels silly, because it seems the writers very much kept in touch with the community, and I'm a truther about Mage Viktor (very implied??? based on how you read the scene??) being a retcon and how some other scenes felt like they're somewhere on ao3, so how do I not know they still saw the community liked a lot whatever was going between those two nerds and changes were still made on their plot based on that(even if they kept it platonic). But I digress

Number two, why do I get the vibes this guy just has some personal vendetta against jayvik nation? And this is a case of "Ah! Gotcha! These guys are not gay cus uuuuh one of them is ace and I don't know the difference between ace and aro"?

To get into the ace part (and jeez this post is already getting long), I'm ace myself. That's the only representation I can speak for on Viktor, so I very much appreciate the different insights I've seen of disabled people talking about his character from their pov, even more in general.

I also don't ship jayvik so I won't discuss it in those terms.

I wasn't taking in consideration oh he's a very smart, scientific guy obsessed with his work, more on the shy, introverted side and that fits the stereotype. Oh he's disabled and disabled characters unfortunately tend to get seen through this "sexless" filter

Dint cross my mind, at least not consciously

I had a little headcanon of ace Viktor simply cus that's what my brain does with my fave characters that dont show on screen or on page or on whatever, interest in sexual attraction. And also "haha purple (from the hexcore) like the flag" is a silly joke.

But when it's in some form, in the media or outside of it, said by someone that had control over writing decisions? That feels different.

It DOES feel very much "Dumbled*re is gay" type beat. You can argue that in this show there's no rlly "I'm gay" n stuff moment, relationships are portrayed and that's it, and ace rep in this scenario can be tricky cus it's more of a "lack", more of a nothing to show than something to show

At the same time Viktor plot was booked and busy on trying not to die and then going full final jrpg boss, it doesn't feel like in the text there was actual resemblance of rep, resemblance of "oh we always meant him to be ace, actually". + Viktor isnt the only character who we don't see interested in Those Sort Of Things, are we supposed to interpret all those other characters also as ace? See, it gets tricky.

In conclusion

If I'll continue to think of him as ace, it'll be as a silly little headcanon of mine and not what feels more like someone having beef with the discourse of a mlm ship than actually confirming good representation

Because you hear him say oh Viktor isn't cold and an emotionless machine, we see a lot of his emotions and how human he is (well first resurrection arguably makes him cold and. Metallic.) so, cool ace rep. But that's not all the stereotypes are about, as also the comments I included point out, and my bro Viktor start falling into all the other check boxes.

[lavend-ler]

you're literally so real and based about the misogyny in the onceler fandom like none of the plot would've happened without audrey or norma (although i am a bit biased when it comes to norma cause she's my fave), and mrs wiggins helped A LOT and everyone just ignored them. also the vitriolic hatred towards the onceler's mom (yeah she sucked but still) is kinda weird where is that treatment towards the rest of his family

thank u dear anon 🙏

I posted my post out on a whim from my drafts but lemme elaborate - the lorax/onceler fandom is incredibly misogynistic. from the fact that ppl make fun of younger often girls having fun and being attracted to Once-ler. I was also a young girl when I first joined this fandom and I could completely feel the mockery over the years. all bc I dared to have fun abt one of my fave characters. and over the years I feel like the nature had become even more so hostile against fans, esp abt women who just join

my another glaring issue is with the fact that this fandom completely overlooks female characters. as u've said, the plot wouldn't have happened without Audrey and Norma. and when u join the fandom discussions u see ppl complaining abt how thinly they are written, the fandom does nothing to expand on them

I'll start with Norma bc she's my absolute fave too - u can barely find anything with her these days. yes I love Normaler but it doesn't have to be all there is to her. if u don't like Normaler, why can't u make Norma be Once-ler's friend? why aren't u exploring her life as a young woman, single mother and then a kind and upbeat old woman? why can't u pick up the pieces in canon abt her spunky but lighthearted nature, love for stories, enigmatic but understanding personality, nostalgia towards different times but still living in the moment, even affection towards things as gentle as nature and as extreme as sports? she fckin drives a crane all by herself! Norma is such a fantastic character to explore but this fandom just doesn't want to. and then when ppl DO explore her character it's dismissed as a self-insert fantasy for girls. even if so, so what? are we circling back to hating young girls for having interests?

Audrey is a similar case. she's either used as a mouthpiece, side piece for Ted or fucking shipped with an adult. why don't u explore her life beside this? why won't u talk abt her being an artist, softspoken dreamer and an introverted character who has to make choices? I love when ppl make her more active but she can also be passive, not everyone has to be an adventurer. and if u make her active, she could make a fantastic protag. all I'm saying is, do better

I'd argue the story of The Lorax also couldn't have happened if it wasn't for Mrs. Wiggins. she's such a fun character too, lovable and sweet and energetic, but also no nonsense and stands up for what she believes in? when I read this ask to my bestie they looked at me and said "Mrs. Wiggins has more personality than Ted" and I AGREE. she deserves more spotlight as a single woman who tries her hardest and balances her life all around. she's so so good

as for Once-ler's mother, she is a total bitch but like........so is his whole family. yes, she's the abuser but everyone else enables her abuse so they're also guilty. like fuck them. I do totally get hatred for Once-ler's mother but she's also a pretty good antagonist. her manipulative behavior and mood swings are very well written in a realistic way. why can't we even say that a woman is a good antagonist? besides, she can also have her past (which does not excuse the abuse ofc, just makes her a deeper character). I see a lot of potential and it's just wasted a millionth time

can I also say that female OCs in this fandom are super scarce? I remember there were a lot of times when fem!Once-ler blogs got deactivated bc they were relentlessly bullied. all for the sake of shipping two mildly different flavors of the same guy. and u don't have to make them side pieces to ur Once-lers. women deserve their own stories to tell. when I was developing my Lorax OC Felicia, her relationship with Once-ler was the last thing I thought of

anyways, it's a total tangent at this point but I wanted this to be an ode to female characters of the lorax/onceler fandom. they deserve their stories and they deserve to be treated with respect. do better

[khiphop-discussions]

RAP:PUBLIC Ep.7 Part 2 Thoughts

Ep. 7 part 2!

Part 1

Damn, Owen really sliding for Marv. I really wanted Marv to come back too!

I wish I'd have seen ep.7 before I saw the conversation Owen and Marv had after their team lost on ep.6. It makes a lot more sense now. Hindsight is 20/20. I'm very touched by how much Owen seems to care for Marv. I can't even lie.

I'll refrain from commenting on Owen anymore. Only on his verses if necessary.

I always regret stuff I say about Owen. Whether it's good or bad. That's a HUGE sign I need to shut the fuck up about him and keep his name out my mouth. I have a bias against him for past stuff he's said or done so my commentary on him will very likely be useless. It is what it is.

Loopy says to Owen "Don't do anything you'll regret"...this is so fucking funny given the context of everything I just said lol

James An is the best alarm clock. He wakes them up so gently lol.

Shyboiitobii be having the most random scenes dude. The editors are funny.

A rapper withdrew. It was Daniel Jikal. I get it. This show is fucking intense. Living there? Constantly changing missions and variables? It's a lot. It feels like a waste since people who wanted to stay got eliminated but I truly understand his decision. I hope he's doing well after leaving.

Block 5 changed the leader to Khundi Panda because JP is kinda sick. So Khundi will go recruit. It looks like they will take Owen and Double Down.

Block 2 wants to recruit Jtong but WHY would he want to leave?

Oh shit...Jtong WANTS to leave?! He approached Khan?! Oh that's unexpected. He says he wants diversity.

Obviously, Block 1 wants him to stay. He's such a good piece in the puzzle. I wouldn't want him to leave my block either.

Jtong is comfortable with his block already. But he wants to change too. So many people want him. It's a hard choice.

Now, Since is trying to recruit Kaogaii?!? After rejecting his recruitment offer?!? The twists and turns of this show!

Boi B was solicited by Geegooin. So now the plan is to tell Since that Boi B will come if she doesn't. So they (or at least Kaogaii) are hoping to turn them against each other Oh shit...Block 6 is going hard!

JP from 5 might want to leave too. It WOULD be advantageous if Since leaves. She left. So let's see why Block 4 will do from here.

Personally, if I was a competitor, I wouldn't trust anyone who changes teams. It shows they are willing to jump ship any time things don't go their way. As a viewer, I don't care tbh. Cause I wanna see my faves win lol.

If only the leader remains then the block will close and be absorbed by another group.

Block 4 recruits group 8 which was just 99 Nasty Kidz. Makes sense on their end. They get to move all the block money to group 4. We haven't seen any block money get used yet so it'll be interesting to see how that comes into play.

Polodared is like "If it doesn't work, you can come back". At least, the door is still open. Jtong has it good!

I'm kinda inspired by Jtong to be honest. Stay comfortable or go after experiences you want (even if scary and uncertain)? I want to be more like Jtong and go for it!

Now Chaboom is paying $15,000 so Block 2 will recruit foggyatthebottom. Shyboiitobii is on that team. So omg, now we'll get to see them interact. OMG I gotta find time to watch these episodes earlier because this would have been so useful for answering that ask from the other day (Context for those who didn't see it: someone asked if shyboii and foggy had beef. I doubted it but there was some interesting videos on the internet so I wasn't for sure. Foggy was at tobii's club performance a few days back so that confirmed they were cool. But this episode would have answered the question if I wasn't so far behind. I gotta catch up but I'm so busy!!!)

Anyway, Chaboom goes to Block 3

My internet is acting up now so I'll take that as a sign to take my ass to sleep! I'm stopping @ ~2:04 so ~33 minutes left in this episode! I'll pick it back up ASAP!

[loregoddess]

Temenos Mistral for the character ask game! (Because you were talking about them earlier!)

First impression: "Oh, he seems neat, wonder what his story will be about."

Impression now: I love Temenos, one of my top favorite characters from the game, probably my scond-fave after Ochette. He's such an interesting character and his story (gripes I might have with the pacing aside) was unexpected for a "cleric" story, based on what I'd seen with Ophilia and some of the clerics from CotC. Honestly I'd write up an entire character analysis if I had the energy to do so, bc there is so much going on with him.

Favorite moment: A few different ones, but I really like how any time that the façade he puts up starts to slip, this sheer force of anger slips through--that's good stuff. Love that his "In Pursuit of Truth" theme also sounds much more energetic and aggressive when compared to his normal theme song (and like, I'm not well-versed with music terms and stuff, but Temenos is also the only character whose "In Pursuit of..." song has a significantly different tempo and more aggressive melody when compared to the standard theme, if I recall correctly).

Idea for a story: Hmm, do the two rewrite ideas of his main narrative that I have floating in my head count? Like I've said, something about the general pacing of events and a handful of narrative elements in his story don't really work for me, and as a result his story arc doesn't seem as strong compared to the others' stories. Not all of it is "bad writing" or anything, like the writers clearly had a plan in mind, and I know some of it is just my personal taste...but yeah, I have a "canon compliant, trying to match the general narrative motifs and themes of the rest of the characters" rewrite idea, and a "mostly canon compliant, but definitely changing some things to fit my personal tastes which therefore go against one or two of the overall recurring themes and motifs" rewrite idea. I'll probably never do anything with them though bc it's more like...anytime I come across story writing that I thought was really good, I try to figure out what about it I liked and how the writers set it up, and any time I come across story writing that doesn't work, I do the same thing where I try to figure out why I didn't like it and then try to figure out how I'd write it myself, and this is like, a little mental enrichment I do just for fun and also to try and sharpen my own preferences and sensibilities for storytelling and writing. So like, I don't technically have that much beef with his story, and I don't want to come off as "I'm a better writer than the original writers" or even that I thought the original arc was bad (it really wasn't bad writing per se), it's more just a thing I came up with for myself for funsies and as a mental exercise in narrative, more so than an actual like, critique of the original story.

Unpopular opinion: I uh, I don't ship him with Crick...or anyone actually. In fact the Temenos x Crick ship really does not float my goats (nothing against anyone who enjoys the ship, you do you and all that, it's just not my cup of tea). I actually read and more or less headcanon Temenos as aroace, and even if I didn't, he's got like 2934820398432 unresolved trust issues, so I'd have a hard time seeing him be able to enter into a romantic relationship anyhow. But that's just my reading, again no shade to anyone who has a different reading/headcanons.

Favorite relationship: I love his interactions with all the other main characters, but I find his weird friendship with Ochette to be really, really interesting especially (I'd write up an analysis and list of thoughts on this too if I had the energy). Outside of the main cast, what little we get to see of his interactions with Jorg, along with what we learn after Jorg gets murdered, is really fascinating to me as well. They have a very unusual familial/professional relationship (although given that Benedict and Anna's wildly unconventional familial relationship is also super interesting to me, I'm thinking I might just be an enjoyer of unconventional and murky adopted familial relationships in fiction).

Favorite headcanon: I am fond of the idea of him being related to Alpates and Throne by blood, although as I've turned the headcanon over in my head and whittled it like a wood carving, it's developed into something really specific with basically no in-game source to back it up, so it's a 100% bona fide "I just made something up and went with it" headcanon that I keep modifying and changing. Basically, I think he's got a situation similar to Hikari's, but significantly more subdued since he doesn't have an evil shadow version of himself trying to talk him into murdering everyone, and that his blood ties to Alpates's bloodline are stronger than his blood ties to D'arqest. Some more specifics about that under the cut bc explaining myself requires talking about late-game spoilers.

(Specifically rather than being directly Claude's son, I think it's entirely possible some of the Blacksnakes were able to have kids of their own, like Father did, without Claude finding out about them and having the child killed, and that even potentially those kids might have had kids, thinning the blood ties to Claude further--so rather than being Throne's half-sibling, Temenos would be more uh...*checks cheat-sheet chart for familial ties* ummm...her half-grand-nephew, god I hate everything about that phrase why does anything relating to Claude have to be a string of "wtf??"s). I keep changing this headcanon slightly (I did originally start from the base of having him and Throne as half-siblings), so who knows just how much it's gonna change before I settle on something I'm really happy with, but I do like the idea a lot.

【Multifandom】 Rambles

Update Rambles

Putting this as a ramble post too cuz I edited it today

I think in terms of art, I wanna grow even more obviously but I'm happy with my huge improvement this year... My style looks the best it's ever been and my way of drawing face/eyes and sense for picking colours keeps getting better and better.

I do think I wanna jumpstart a huge art improvement growth journey by trying to make gesture drawing somewhat of a consistent thing for me. Cuz I have no consistency for my gesture drawings. Not right now obviously but I wanna design plushies for my fave ships (XanLena, KuroEne, JuAli, IdaTatsu, LimGuda) one day. I love them all dearly… 🥺🫶

Because I was thinking that I would love to have physical merch of them. I'll make my faves kiss like barbie dolls ✌️💗 I would LOOOVE to dress them up and sit them next to each other... That's a huge dream of mine

I think KuroEne should be on the easier end of my fave ships since their designs are rather simple and less detailed in comparison? I'm not used to drawing chibis, compared to how I usually draw, but I'll do anything for my faves. Don't underestimate me. I'm dedicated.

I also wanna doodle some scenes from my KuroEne AU Route where MaryEne team up against Saeru. This Route has such a fun setup, especially with the way it plays out. Because it's so long, I haven't finished writing for it yet.

So I wanna draw some snippets from it eventually. Ofc I'd love to draw more, but my yapping outpaces my drawing speed, unfortunately. That's why I do rambles/dialogue scripts. So I can remember my ideas and hope to draw them later whenever I get the time

This Route is super long so I haven't gotten the chance to sort all my dialogue scripts for it yet. I take from my Notion docs for my stories. They remind me what I have/haven't posted on my socials

I have some art concepts simmering in my head like KuroEne wearing Viet clothes cuz seeing my faves in traditional clothes makes me <3 And then a ball themed art where Kuroha drapes a black veil over the both of them and Ene wears a dress with a cage dress aesthetic <3

I used to post my notes onto Insta directly (by copying them from my Notion docs) but it takes more time to format. I’ve been busier lately cuz of school, so I just post SS of my Notion docs directly.

Art Growth

Exactly agreed with this. This is how I spend my time drawing so I appreciate OP for putting this into words. For me I usually rotate between my interests but always end up coming back to them eventually since they're always in the back of my mind, even if years down along the line

I find that if I get really invested, then I don't move on from my fave series/characters. They linger in my heart forever and I just rotate between them. This also helps avoids burnout with one interest for me. My followers don't really have to worry about me not drawing [X] character/ship anymore. I will always come back to it eventually.

Tho, just in general, it's natural that peoples' interests just phase in and out, and they may or may not come back to [X] thing. I first got into KagePro when I was 12 so I'm surprised it took me this long to come back to it publically, since I had instances where I'd draw doodles for it but just not post them

I'm MORE shocked that I didn’t talk about my KuroEne obsession until 2024? I was literally NEVER obsessed with a ship like that until them (KuroEne). 12 y/o Sen's first big ship 💗

Cuz I was 12 when I first became obsessed with them, and up until that point, I wasn't insane about a ship like that until them

Me with my faves is basically just my insanity speedrun, especially when I’m mainly obsessed with XanLena, KuroEne, and IdaTatsu solely cuz of my ship AUs & interpretations. Those ships hinge entirely on my AU writing.

But I think it's cuz I knew the KuroEne obsession would come back in full force and that's exactly what happened in April. I predicted it LOL. I'm not really surprised cuz Kuroha/Saeru is EXTREMELY Sen-core in both writing and design, and his character concept and role as the main villain, is so unique. The instigator of the time loop tragedy who’s the embodiment of “Knowledge/Wisdom”

As I said, my top faves are all equally important to me they're just personal and important to me in different ways. So I try to split up the time spent between each interest by rotating through them periodically and drawing for them in random bursts. I always get a feeling of “I miss them and want to draw for them again...”

Like, I've mainly been drawing and writing KuroEne lately cuz they're the easiest of my faves to draw imo (other than XanLena).

I'm very particular about the way I draw Xanxus' eyes and hair (it's generally easy but sometimes I have trouble), but with KuroEne, I don't really have much trouble drawing them at all (their headphones are annoying to draw, along with the belts/straps on Kuroha, but they're generally easier).

So I'd put XanLena and KuroEne at a similar level. Like I don't really have trouble drawing KuroEne's hair and facial features. They're easy to do an initial sketch pass for. For the others, I either draw them good on the first try or they take multiple sketch passes for me to get right

I think it goes like this in terms of difficulty (easiest to most difficult)

KuroEne & XanLena < JuAli & IdaTatsu < LimGuda

And LimGuda's difficulty is because of how detailed Douman's design is

Also cuz Feila chats with me about KuroEne everyday, so the KuroEne AU rambles are just easy to post cuz I can just snatch from my notes, or whatever KuroEne AU works I'm working on.

In general, I snatch from whatever I'm currently drawing/writing about (or recent WIPs, or ones I've recently worked on and revamped)

But I think about all of my faves daily. I've been thinking of wanting to create for my other interests too.

Art is a craft of someone's passion and hard work. People are not entitled to it. I lowkey got sick/annoyed of drawing Ak*Yona cuz I got sentiments from people like "Please draw more ANY 🥺" and cuz it overshadowed the main AU works I focus on. Like... how do you think I'd feel about that.

Every few ~ several months, I get a feeling of wanting to archive my old works, cuz I hate looking at my old art. Some things from 2023 are hard for me to look at, much less anything older than that. I felt a sigh of relief when I archived most of my gallery. I want to fill it with new arts eventually ✌️

My mental health hit its lowest lows at times in the last couple years cuz of my not so great home life, but I think in terms of art, I'm the happiest I've been, rn. If I draw something, I want it to come from my heart as something I wanted to do, not because people wanted me to draw it

Ship Tastes

I think I talked about how I felt before in my Notion docs, but didn't post it here. To me, I feel like, the more that a ship resembles "traditional romance," the more I'm turned off by it tbh. I'm not looking for highschool sweethearts esque stuff. I like literary romanticism, the opposite of literary realism.

My fave ships are ones that are intense and dangerous, and deadly and passionate. I like ships with a compelling amount of conflict and tension, ones that are complicated, complex, and messy.

My ships are not "traditional romances" and I prefer it that way. Makes it much more interesting to me

Because for me, my only reaction is just, "Oh it's cute Ig." But there's nothing (or hardly anything much) for me to say about it.

ALL of my top fave ships are like this, so I think it really shows in my ship tastes.

Also on a side note. I also get bored by masc charas who are too NORMAL... Fiction is a form of escapism for me, I'm not searching for normal people it's generic and boring to me

That's why my acc is a villain enjoyers zone cuz my faves are all weirdos. They're just more fun /pos /endearing

Though I do make exceptions.

This is exactly how I feel

This fully explains why I'm only obsessed with MLW ships if:

The ship is complicated, messy, chaotic, and funny

At least one of the charas is queer, or can be HC'ed as queer

Like it HAS to have these, in order for me to be obsessed with it. Like if it doesn't have these requirements, then it's only a casual like to me. I’ve never had an exception to this

I HC my faves as LGBT+ by default cuz I'd keel over if any of my faves were straight. I'm allergic to cishet people

The thing is, is that I have very hyperspecific ship tastes, so my ships need a certain level of intensity and danger for me to be obsessed with them. I like when my ships are intense and dangerous

(Either one or both of the charas are dangerous, or their relationship is, in some way)

My big MLW ships are IdaTatsu and KuroEne, like the men in these ships are fruity af

Cishet meow meow mfs are a myth

Kuroha/Saeru can use Awakening Eyes to change his body into whatever he wants. I love my NB genderfluid Kuroha/Saeru HC sm. That's genderfluid swag 💖

Agreed with this post btw like the best MLW romances are written by queer women (bi women and lesbians allergic to heteronormativity)

I noticed that a LOT of my fave ships are Enemies/Rivals to Lovers

Enemies to Lovers: JuAli, LimGuda, KuroEne

KuroEne

KuroEne is my case study ship like it's fascinating to me

I'm studying them like a hamster spinning on a wheel

My mad scientist brain (or maybe Kuroha/Saeru's mad scientist brain?) is going off the rails /lh

Every other fave ship of mine I want them to be happy. My ship AUs are generally fluffy and focused on the ship and their intimate moments and them spending together

This is true for KuroEne too, but for KuroEne, I want their infinite XXX amount of Routes to keep on going forever so I can keep writing their endless possibilities cuz it's so fun to think of

There are some ships where I'm like "I don't think of them in terms of a usual romance/relationship, I just think they're interesting"

And yeah. KuroEne engage in intimacy but their r/s is soooo messy, and that's why makes it fun.

Once my faves are past the initial animosity/hostility, getting to know each other, I could definitely see my other ships in actual romantic relationships.

KuroEne is a different case tho because of Kuroha's role/setup as the instigator of the time loop tragedy constantly killing the cast who retains the knowledge/memories of previous Routes.

So in these XXX amount of Routes, they get reset back to 0 at the end everytime, and then they meet again... And Saeru remembers all these encounters.

Their relationship is filled with conflict and tension, desperation, love, obsession, passion, yearning, desire, attachment.

KuroEne is definitely different from my other ships, cuz, in the context of a ship AU, Kuroha/Saeru loves for his own sake due to his selfish, twisted desires. The emotions are genuine but it lacks pure, genuine love.

I imagine that the KuroEne AU started cuz he wanted to prove his theory that humans will do anything for love.

Irt how the KuroEne AU starts

He first questions humans' desire for love (that he probably mistook as lustful pleasure) then he decided to test his experiments on Ene (due to his vessel). Takane/Ene is more affected by Haruka & Konoha than anyone else. And that's how he comes up with the whole idea of the "game" with her, their trysts. And that's when he approaches her with the proposal to make her a body...

His elaborate scheme done in the most roundabout convoluted way, lol

One that he presents to the other party as being an equal trade, but ultimately benefits himself, mostly.

Though it is true that Kuroha/Saeru grants all of Ene's wishes in their relationship... He caters to her wishes and appeases her personality and whims, takes her out wherever she wants, gives her gifts, and love and affection...

Kuroha gives her everything she wanted (even if it comes at a heavy cost)

That heavy cost being - He kills everyone.

He gives her everything except for what she truly wants (getting to move onto the future with everyone and have a happy life)

And he gets to satisfy his desires for accumulating more knowledge (with getting to build the android body and improve on it)

It's filled with a very ILL affection, cuz he is at his core, ill.

Even Douman can be very genuine/show more tender sides...

When he reveals himself to Ene, the betrayal's gonna sink in. Like, if you spend that much time getting to know someone (I imagine they were basically living together for 1 - 2 years) then the betrayal from him revealing his true intentions is gonna be devastating

I imagine that he genuinely enjoyed his act of playing pretend with his S/O (and to the rest of the MekaDan, if they meet in this Route) and enjoyed the time he spent with them, and that's exactly why he won't give it up.

Like...... He's gonna push back against the idea of Ene proposing moving onto the future with everyone as much as possible for the sake of his own immortality (above all else), and then, on a secondary level, for the sake of the game - the love that's keeping him fulfilled

I see them as the type that will meet and cross paths with each other and meet and engage in intimacy with charged sexual tension

We've been waiting actually years to see family Deluca-Bishop... but I'm sorry what we got in the finale was cringe at best. And tbh it just made me not want to look. I didn't get those butterflies and gooey feelings that I usually get when I see anything Marina. And this is not just me, I spoken to fans of the ship that have been around since the beginning and they said the same thing. The 2nd hand embarrassment and just awkwardness of those flashforwards were horrible. It lacked that special sauce that the Marina ship has always had since the beginning. And it just made the wait so much worse and not worth it... absolutely no pay off.

This show and it's writers and network leads did this couple and the shows main fandom down big time. And worse about it all is that they think what they gave us was good. Fucking idiots. My fave ship of all time ended in a complete mess and I'll never forgive them.

I don't know if I feel that strongly against it all but I still wasn't a big fan of how they ended up doing things with Marina in the finale. I actually watched it again today with my dad because he was so behind and just finished the show today. (He really tested my patience with some of his comments 🙃) And I was just reminded by how disappointed I was with the lack of present Marina in the finale. But I still think the scene of Carina telling Maya she was pregnant was completely them and really nice. It's just the fact that they never paid off on the cliffhanger and the various opinions on how the flashforwards were handled and what they chose to focus on...it's just a shame how they had to fit so much into one last episode and they chose to pivot with injured Andy and having Maya be completely fine.

It was also weird to me how Carina ends up being out in the field delivering a baby in the same place as Maya is fighting fires and they don't cross paths at all?? (Even my dad said this) Like that felt like another missed opportunity and then when they finally see each other in the hospital it just felt underwhelming.

At the end of the day we can at least be happy knowing that Maya and Carina ended in a happy place with one another as they continue to build the family they've been wanting. Of course there's been frustrating things that have happened along the way and the writers never truly embracing the magic they had with Marina will always be disappointing but we still got an incredible love story between them that got a happy ending so that's what I try to hold onto.

[null-doesnothing]

I hope you dont mind but since you've left spaces open for sulu, scotty, uhura, and chapel I figured I'd step in with my own like a nerd

Sulu: dont have any specific sexuality or gender headcanons for the guy but he's gotta be some flavor of queer I fear. used to love going to beaches as a kid and cant stand it anymore, listens to a weirdly varied amount of music genres (like you'd look in his playlist and find top 20 pop list type music and the most niche shit you have EVER heard of. also some shit Chekov snuck in there that he decided he didn't care enough abt to get rid of) also probably the type of guy to just have the One playlist and its just his liked songs and everyone who looks at it is like "dude wtf IS this". he has no explanation. Next to Spock, he's the most heat-resistant of the group, though unlike Spock he actually handles humidity fairly well (cant relate im from the desert I would drown) Oh also you cant tell him shit cuz he's a major gossip sorry

Scotty: probably unlabeled honestly if I had to guess, I don't think he would care too much abt it... or think too much abt it.... busy w/ da ship. honestly this is barely a headcanon but the mf just loves feeling impressive at any given moment. about anything. ever. Also has definitely fallen asleep while working on something and almost wrecked his whole face. oh also he probably had a cat at some point in time that would sit on him as he slept and one night he accidentally like. threw it off in his sleep. and he felt really bad about it. dont ask how I know it was written in the stars shsshhh

Uhura: either lesbian or bi, personally I lean towards lesbian for her. can draw!! really well actually!! does it in her free time and sort of keeps them to herself, I think if she met Data they'd bond over the little art adventures going on there. Also she can only hypothetically cook. like- she knows what needs to go into a dish, and how to make it taste good, and she could instruct someone on what to do? but as soon as she actually physically tries to make a dish just. 🔥 uhhh has a collection of ancient (lol) cassette tapes that she Can Not Play because she couldn't find a working cassette player. Scotty's ended up working on making one as a side project

Chapel: lesbian. that is a lesbian woman with comphet. absolutely. 100%. has some betazoid in her but not enough to show At All (though to be fair, not much to show up anyways. also this is my watsonian explanation for Lwaxana having her exact face, though tbf ig like it could be the other way around but SSSHHHH) and was also raised on Mars for some of her childhood. oh also has just the most insane Bullshit Detector ever, it's very very difficult to get a lie past her. as a child her hair was brunette and got more blonde over time, but her hair in tos is dyed to give it a different tone. also this one goes against canon but ACTUALLY WEARS GLOVES IN SICK BAY AND GETS ANNOYED WHEN BONES DOESNT

ahem- now, I'm going to be very self-indulgent for a moment and, instead of just leaving it there, I'm going to attack one more character with my headcanons because he's my FAVE and NOBODY EVER MAKES HEADCANONS FOR HIM so uhhh. that's my thing rn I'm hijacking your post a bit

Sarek (I love him sm I'm sorry): as a little boy he was probably one of the least well behaved, most rambunctious, and emotional children on the whole of Vulcan, and for the most part was just generally a pain in his parent's asses for a long long time. eventually he became the hyper-strict unemotional logical vulcan he is now, but he definitely wasn't always that way, had to be drilled into him. that's feeds into my headcanon for why he treats Spock the way he does, there's slight fear at him acting human but generally, his fear leans more towards Spock ending up like he was as a child. totally incorrect fear my guy but hey idk what do I know. oh also I think you can't ever show him star wars because he would see Anakin's storyline and have a heart attack spontaneously. OH OH ALSO- this one ISNT a headcanon but I-Chaya was HIS pet first! the headcanon here comes in that I firmly believe when he was like. 6. he picked up little tiny baby I-Chaya and was like "im keeping it. mine now." like a child adopting a stray cat off the street and their parents begrudgingly accepting it.

sorry that's way longer than the other guys' I think abt him a lot

favourite star trek headcanons?

Oh boy I have ALOT hehe (thank you so much for asking :3) (and these are just my silly headcanons and it's totally find if you disagree with them <3)

Id like to hear your favourite headcanons @etherealspacejelly :3

Kirk: Hes trans and pansexual (or bi I like both), that bitch loves to vouge its his favourite dance move hehe, kept the boob window shirt from amok time and wears it just to annoy Spock, is Jewish, (this one is more for AOS kirk but whatever) He LOVES 90s and early 2000s rap and hip hop such as the Beastie Boys.

Spock: Jewish on his mums side, is gay MLM or unlabelled (I like both hc), really likes ambient music and falls asleep to it and white noise.

Bones: Is bisexual (yeah no, no character in TOS is straight sorry) loveeees to sing country songs when no one is around or can hear him even while on duty (Kirk definitely caught him once singing and teased the living fuck out of him), he loves to wear low raise jeans (old man whore), he has anger problems, a chronic smoker (yes yes he's a doctor but come on...he needs to let off some steam man) loves old country music especially from 20th century Earth, a massive fan of Dolly Parton and sings her songs regularly (his singing voice isn't actually that bad either, quite soothing but slightly deep)

Chekov: bi-curious (NO SLAVIC PERSON IS TRULY STRAIGHT...coming from a slav hehe) weed smoker so he probably smells like kush 50% of the time, is eastern orthodox (religion wise) he absolutely adores late 20th century (80s-90s) Russian Post-Punk such as Кино and Nautilus Pompillus, he also listens to Bladee and the drain gang in general (idk man he just seems like the average drainer/Bladee fan) also uses She/Him pronouns...(or that's just me projecting myself onto him)

...yeah you can CLEARLY see which characters are my favorites hehe (also I didn't put on hc for sulu scotty uhura or chapel since I barely have any)

[deliciouspirateangel]

jay/manny, zig/maya and alli/dallas for the ship ask <3

Janny -

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying

Possibly my fave Degrassi ship of all time. I told myself I wasn't gonna ship them but the fake dating to real feelings plotline got me <3 I love them both individually and together and they make me emo. They're what Finn and Rachel thought they were doing

Zaya -

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying

Truly I don't think I like anything that happened in canon lmao. That love square/pentagon/hexagon was always such a fucking mess. But they are cute and I'm glad they ended up together!

Bhandallas -

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying

I love them so much. Another favorite. I just wish they had more time together. The fact that it was like they already set this up just for Alli to say no and get with LEO instead :| Someone needs to go to jail for their crimes against my favorite character like that

send me a ship!
