#OH MY GODDDD I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MENTION THIS

[confessxcheese4tcc]

i remember this one girl in the tcc who said she was gonna summon or like try to talk to eric and dylan's ghosts with a tutorial she found in the deeb web and after she made us wait for like a few days or idk she started like making fucking excuses saying like she wasn't gonna risk giving the tutorial or like posting the video here i think also because from WHAT I REMEMBER she didn't want to summon some other angry ghost

and im still mad af till this day because she didn't plan shit she didn't think before saying she was going to do it so she just wasted everyone's time also i think she's still active on here or has mutuals who are active here so im probably gonna get my ass beat online by her mutuals if they recognize this story😭

CONFESSION #805

[saintobio]

HELLOOO FINALLY GOT TO SEND AN ASK!!!

first of allllll…. i think the time momjo sending the child guardian paper (?) that satoru typed out of anger is a hint…. and then satoru telling yn that sachiro called akemi mama… this honestly hurts alot more, imahine carrying your baby for 9 months, taking care of baby sachiro for 3 years alone, all the sleepless nights… and sachiro just ugh u dumbass small brain toddler (literally). anyways, satoru looking at akemi during suguru and shoko’s wedding, his hand rubbing akemi’s stomach at the cabin when she was in pain. honestly this part was akemi faking her pain or…? cuz there was a line that said after satoru asked if she wanted to go home her face didnt show anymore pain ? lololll idk. i dislike (hate) gojokemi but i think theyre gonna be endgame with all these theories coming up oh godddd. and the way yn threw the necklace into the lake, satoru went to search for it but did he manage to find it ? no. but during sn yn (well, suguru) found gojos wedding band. so in sy, yn threw away satoru’s “heart”, and it was never found again, thats a hint (?) bruhhh i hate thissss (i love this so much actually it made me feel so much i love u saint) i also recall the first time satoru and akemi first did it together he said smthg like i could learn to love u ? if i remember correctly. and the morning at the cabin after yn and gojo did it, yn was crying bcs they had a heartfelt talk ? and u mentioned they both felt guilty. the guilt is…. yeah.

BUT ALSO, satoru once said that yn has always been the one, sera when she saw gojo after forever told sukuna that he looks different when hes being with akemi, like hes not being himself? but that was when they first got together so idk about now. him not calling gojokemi exclusive. oh how they were happy and loving when yn got pregnant 🥹 but well it lasted until… yeah. also u said something about gojo gonna be on his knees again, since yn is now depressed and suicidal, i think for her heart disease shes gonna sign a DNR, then satoru on his knees maybe begging the doctors idk gawd idk someone mentioned dnr and i just… 🙂 its not that she wanna leave sachiro either, but i think shes telling herself everything will be better if she dies since sachiro, still very young, doesnt even really remember yn (just why sachiro) and called akemi mama… also why the hell didnt gojo use protection when fucking akemi oh gawd pls hate u satoru if she gets preggo.

anyways, i cant wait for gen to be back. i love u gen and ian.

oooh i also remember that you said there was a scene that inspired the birth of sn/sy, was it in chapter 11 ? or we’re not there yet…

honestly why dont yn just join shoko and suguru and be in a happy poly relationship ever looollll just kidding. my heart hurts, im still all in for gojoyn endgame but it doesnt seem realistic. ive been cursing gojo and akemi ever since the chapter came out loolll gotta give myself credit for being able to do my exams while still thinking bout this. 💀

omg there’s a lot to unfold here idk where to start 😭 but i just wanna say, it’s amazing how you’re so thorough in remembering those details in sn/sy bcos i honesty don’t have enough attention span to do that !!! sdjsj now while i can’t answer everything you mentioned, i can say a few things:

- akemi isn’t faking her pain, she’s truly struggling from it

- gojo doesn’t want kids outside of marriage (or should i say if not with yn), so he’s definitely careful with it.

- yes, it is indeed sy11 that birthed the sequel :’) i had that scene in mind before sn was even finished

NERD!MIGUEL IS SO REAL I LUV HIM <3333

NERD!MIGUEL IS THERE I KNOW IT

Like...You saw what he said to Gwen when she called it a watch (which IT IS).

[omg she's so tiny small next to him]

He's a NERD. He thinks this stuff is COOL. He's WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK.

Like I imagine he's used to it by now - people's eyes glazing over when he begins to explain something technical or program-y, like Lyla's algorithms or the Multiverse Anti-Glitch feature of the watches.

He's put SO much work into all of this, the whole facility and the tech.

He made Lyla himself, but he knows that most people aren't really interested in that. So he's learned to simplify things.

If you ask a question, like how he made Lyla - he'll answer it basic and to the point.

_-_ 'She's an AI. She's my assistant and the notification system within your watch.'

He probably won't even look up from his work, thinking it's just the routine questions everyone asks before moving on to the next thing.

BUT IF YOU ASK FURTHER - Miguel's like

Because it's not often someone actually like...does that.

It's probably very rare that someone shows interest in his technological, engineering, or physics studies - all of which he's INCREDIBLY talented at and actively working on

You ask him how long it took him to make her, he says a year or two.

You tell him how impressive that is and BOOM NERD!Miguel.

He's telling you how her voice detection took the longest, and how her multiverse-monitoring probability algorithm was something he had to tweak twenty thousand times.

You compliment him about the design of the watch, he's like

_-_ 'I still have the protypes.' And he's ready to show you different ones, different shapes and materials he considered using, but eventually ruled out through experiments and tests

AND DON'T GET HIM STARTED ON THEORIES OH GODDDD

You mention the words 'String Theory' or 'Time Dilation' around him and you will NEVER hear the end of it.

He has so many opinions on it he's never had the chance to share.

Ideas and theories about things like fourth dimensions, worm holes, black holes, and dozens of other theoretical scientific concepts.

I mean, he MADE time travel. He is an EXPERT in that stuff.

I would KILL to have a Time Travel Movie Marathon with Miguel.

Sitting on the couch and watching things like Back to the Future, and he describes what they got right, what would be impossible, how it could work in theory.

He probably talks through the whole movie, and picks each one apart. You watch Doctor Who and he WILL NOT SHUT UP.

He's probably AMAZIINNGG at math.

Like math IS science. It's the answer for science. So he's probably a natural master.

You can be like 'Miguel, What's 34% of 12,967?' - Without blinking he'd be like

_-_'...I'm guessing 4408, or something? I don't know, am I right? Ask Lyla, don't ask me.'

But you don't need to ask Lyla cause HE'S RIGHT

HISTORY TOO!

I mean... the man time-travels. I think he'd have at least a good grasp on history, and time periods. Thinks like ancient roman historians and how their thoughts effect modern science, and how certain events effected the flow of time throughout history.

I imagine he finds it so fascinating, seeing the vast differences that can span in universes, just from one small change. Maybe he even finds comfort in it, seeing how histories and stories have a natural flow in a way fiction can only hope to imitate.

I love me some Nerd!Miguel.

I wanna get in bed with Miguel and by that I mean I want to sit next to him as he sits in bed reading a book on the Theory of Relativity with reading spectacles and a mug of sleepytime tea okay

A Miguel who runs up to his partner like 'Read this,' and he's all proud as he hands you a notepad full of numbers. But to him it's a formula he's been working WEEKS on, one that'll make Lyla run smoother, and everything much easier and he wants you to think he's cool for it

A Miguel who spends date nights watching NatGeo documentaries for fun

[rynli]

Hi, can I just say I'm in love with your fic? Cause I'm in love with your fucking fic. Did I finish binge reading it just five minutes ago? Yes. Yes I did. But it makes the brain worms fresh, so.

1. IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHARACTERISATION. Harry is enough of a sopping sack of old man sadness coupled with incompetence of a guy who forgor everything about the current reality - even down to the simplicity of 'wait, where do you buy ingredients?' and needing someone to explain how to do his own goddamn paperwork. And of COURSE Pryce needs him back on his old caseload - which would just kill him. Again. AND BY GOD, MAN.... The way that breakdown/relapse chapter went down? God. He really did just try to go on a run. At least he got a bowl out of it, though. Absolutely love the way you write the skills and all the failed checks, too, cause man is Harry struggling. Absolutely delightful. (Also this is small, but electrochemistry being more than the 'take drugs!!' guy is. Actually refreshing which is unfortunate. He's the HAPPY CHEMICAL GUY!! THE THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING!! SEEKING SEROTONIN AND DOPAMINE! He's gonna be excited over a new fuckin thing that makes you happy!)

2. KIM. THE MAN HIMSELF. I love that you're making him act appropriately silly actually. He's not serious all the time. Yes he's a killjoy but he'll also call you a schoolboy. The banter??? God I love the banter. The bit with 'papa' at the lake actually killed me and I almost whipped out a whole essay right there. GOD he plays off of Harry so well. ALSO!!! ACTUALLY VALIDATING HIS FEELINGS IN THAT SCENE!! MEETING HIM HALFWAY, NOT TAKING A STEP BACK. HARRY IS MENTALLY ILL, AND YOU DON'T TELL THOSE PEOPLE THEIR DELUSIONS/BELIEFS/IN THIS CASE BRAIN VOICES ARE NOT REAL OR THAT THEY DON'T MATTER!!! GOD. The talk of Kim being actively curious about Harry's voices, too? The 'Dreamer' bit? Oh my godddd. I hope we see Harry introduce more of the skills to Kim, I'd love for that to be an ongoing literary thread of Harry giving bits of his heart on a silver platter. Man.

Okay I'm rambling but the last thing I'll mention is the actual MYSTERY!! It being mostly kids/teenagers??? KNOWING AND ACKNOWLEDGING HARRY USED TO BE A GYM TEACHER AND USED TO INTERACT AND TEACH KIDS? That has to be devastating, right?? You could have known them. In another life. One was LITERALLY coming back from soccer practice. It could have been you, losing one of your students. Whos to say be didn't lose them before? God. Just- god. He joined the cops for the city, for the people- and they keep dying anyway.

(I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT YOUR FIC!!! SO NORMAL RIGHT NOW!!! I PROMISE. IT'S VERY LOVELY.)

Holy shit thank you for the fresh brainworms!! Eating them like a bird.

Poor Harry is sopping wet and going through it. He's exactly the mix of pathetic + weird + potentially scary that I love to read and write about, and I am throwing him against the wall to see how he splats. Kim is less intuitive, especially when it comes to things like Harry's voices (the game text is very clear that he doesn't believe things talk to Harry, but also he cares a lot for him at this point and he knows that this is important to him!!) so I'm very happy to hear that that hit the mark.

Fun fact! I almost didn't even start this fic because I didn't think I could come up with skill dialogue! Thankfully they flow surprisingly easily. Echem 👏redemption 👏 arc! Give the guy some natural dopamine!

Oh god... Harry would have known so many of the district's youth... he absolutely had to take cases with kids he used to know. screaming and crying. I'm always thinking about how he's a cop to try to help people, but as a homicide detective he can only ever show up after it's too late. I'm hoping to find a place where he can help people (and the city) preventatively, rather than posthumously! I've found several lines in the game that point in a certain direction; hoping I can get there.

I'm glad we can all be so normal together :)

book reader i have a copy of dream of the red chamber (volume 1) that ive been trying to get through for over a year how do i motivate myself to finish it

I'm recently coming out of a half a year ish period of not reading very much so trust me when I say the lack of motivation comes for us all. I think I have some tips for how to motivate reading in general+ some for DOTRC specifically :)

(Real quick, I assume because you mentioned a volume 1 you're talking about the Hawkes-David translation published by Penguin in five volumes under the name 'The Story of The Stone'. This is the translation I read through, and it's the one I see recommended most to english speakers looking for an enjoyable reading experience, so to any other prospective readers of this novel I HIGHLY recommend reading this translation as opposed to any other ones. I don't know if I need to say this or if it's well-known to seek out that version, but because Hong Lu's canto is coming up I want to make sure anyone interested in reading through the source material can have the best experience possible with it👍)

It's important to remember that reading is a hobby, and the best way to keep going with it is to make it a habit. Unfortunately, this means forcing yourself to read sometimes, but it comes easier the more you do it. The trick is: it doesn't have to be a lot of reading.

The hard part for me is really just picking up the book and starting to read. Normally with books I like to set a goal of a chapter or so per day, but because this book has longer chapters that wasn't always feasible for me, especially if I had stuff to do. But once I had the book in my hands and started reading I would usually go above my goal I had set :)

Last year a lot of my DOTRC reading was done while I was waiting in line for things, getting/eating food, waiting on the bus, or killing time between classes/during boring lectures (I don't know if I'd advise that last one). This is moreso once you get in the rhythm of things, though.

Another tip is sometimes the format is the thing to stop me. I don't know if you're reading from a physical book or an ipad/kindle/etc or a computer or what, but sometimes I read better on my laptop than other things because it's Always Around. Sometimes I don't feel like grabbing a book or I don't have it with me, but my laptop's already open and I'm bored so maybe I'll do a little bit of reading instead of scrolling social medias. Lately, i've been jumping between my laptop and kindle for reading (laptop for convenience, kindle for portability and reading before bed at night) but I've gone between physical books and digital devices before. (If you want the epub versions of dotrc, I'd be willing to share them as well. The only difficulty is page numbers change between reading formats so I can only really switch at the start of chapters or if I skim to where I last was.

Something that saved me while reading DOTRC specifically (as well as other sinner books) was having a place I could discuss/"liveblog" the book. These books can get LONG and the reading experience varies from "really interesting and compelling" to "oh my godddd I do not need 20 pages of Outdated Whale Facts right now". (no offense to Moby Dick. I'm only slandering that one because I read the whole thing and in spite of enjoying it I understand why there are SO many abridged versions around.) It's kind of just the classic lit experience to deal with these types of things, but it's a lot more tolerable to me if you can talk to other people about it.

When I read DOTRC I didn't have anyone else reading with me, but just having a place to tell people about all the things that happen in this book helped me to keep track of events and characters. It also motivated me to keep reading so I could tell The People what happened next. Having someone else read with me would probably have helped as well, but it's hard to sell people on reading a 5-volume behemoth of a novel with so much stuff in it it has it's own field of study dedicated to it.

You can really yap anywhere. I have a channel in my Limbus Discord dedicated to the books so I don't drive everyone insane with my rambling and it seems to have helped some of my friends get through some of the other books as well so I think this method is a pretty solid success? You could also pretty easily do it just in someone's DMs if they're already familiar with the book (this has the bonus of them potentially being able to clarify things for you and help you get a deeper understanding of the book) or even yapping on a tumblr sideblog or empty notes doc or something.

So TL;DR:

Picking up the book is the hardest part. Reading a little is better than not reading at all.

Subjecting your friends to this book will make it easier to keep going :)

Also: for Dream of the Red Chamber specifically: the book starts slow. I don't know how far in you are, but so many people drop it early. I started reading it during a 12-ish hour car ride and that might've been the play because i can see people getting bored during the first few chapters. It definitely picks up though, so trust me when I say it gets a lot easier to read as you keep going. Chapter 5 is an incredibly interesting chapter, and from there I find things pick up and start going faster. (It helps that chapter 5 is pretty relevant for the direction I think Limbus is going to take canto 8 in!) The later volumes were able to go by a lot faster for me than the earlier ones as well.

This is a long ass book, but it's gonna be a while before Hong Lu's canto drops and we get to Witness that Surrender. Or Surrender that Witness. I'm not actually sure. But regardless, you've got plenty of time to get through it, even if you're a slower reader or don't have much time to dedicate to reading. Steady progress is the name of the game for stuff like this.

Worst case, you've killed a bunch of time during the wait for Hong Lu's canto (because oh boy, I have a feeling this one's gonna be a wait) and you are able to gain a better appreciation for canto 8 by understanding some of the nicher bits of how it adapts stuff from the source.

Best case, you really enjoy reading it and end up like a bunch of the Hong Lu fans I know who were permanently changed by reading this book and started reading scholarly analysis of it for fun (or start seeking out every adaptation of it you can find, or read the book 5 times over... I am coming to realize this book does something to people.)

This book is legitimately incredibly good, even outside the context of me reading it because I was very invested in that beautiful cyan freak from a game I like. I might not have been able to get through it without Limbus providing me the push to keep going on days where I really didn't want to read, but it's a legitimate interest of mine now I will seek out information on regardless of its connection to Limbus! Trust me when I say it's worth getting through even if it feels hard or tedious.

(and if it helps- a solid amount of the stuff I feel is most likely to be Limbus relevant happens near the end of the book. There's so much in this book so things that could be relevant are scattered throughout almost all of it, but I've been picking up so many end of the book vibes from stuff we've seen lately. so you've got to get there!!)

Alpha timeline mention!!! I'm assuming that has to do with the alpha kids

A scratch… LIKE DOC SCRATCH!!!!!

Oh thank God that act is over. Kinda. Friend told me act 5 act 2 has more of the stuff I like. Act 5 act 1 gave me such a fucking headache I did not enjoy it very much!!!

The ending had that same sorta flair as usual homestuck but. The rest. It was like reading bullet points. Like you're doing now except I'm not telling a story I'm telling you my reactions to the story

Idk. Yeah. Not A fan Of act 5 act 1. Here's to hoping act 5 act 2 is better !!!

[heliosoll]

okayokayokay this is gonna be a lot of questions but I just binge read all your shifting stories lmfao oh my god it all sounded like sooo much fun!!! What was your first time shifting like? Where did you go and how long did you stay? Also idk I just want to hear everything about your shifting journey!! Also you said something about knocking on a mirror 3 times to enter your waiting room when and how did you start doing that?? Sorry for all the questions but godddd your blog is so fun this shit is better than wattpad

Oh goodness, thank you so much!! I'm glad people like my DR storytimes!

To answer your questions, my first time shifting was magical! I was very much in a dark place mentally and being able to experience my favorite world is still the best thing I've ever done. The first DR I went to was my Specialists (Winx Club) DR! I stayed for about 10 years the first time :) iirc, I actually saw someone else mention knocking on mirrors/doors to shift back to their CR and I just converted that to my WR! I wanted a quick way to get out and that was the first idea I saw hahah

i CAN'T STOP SMILINGGG

SAV'S HAIR IN HIS RESPONSE TO THE 4 OR 5 STRINGS QUESTION OH MY GODDDD SO CURLY AND SLEEK

Joe said the words "Panic! At the Disco" and I never. ever thought I'd hear him say those words

DSH is Phil song heaven and I think that's why I love it so much

THE OLD CLIP OF JOE AT THE PIANO

both sav and viv play piano???? I knew sav but VIV???

"ohhhh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) what about mike garson ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"

i see joe's silver chest hair peekin' out ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

joe wrote the lyric over the course of 3-4 days while he was picking up Finlay from his home-school lessons at someone else's house ;O;

"the lyrics aren't always as dumb as people think" -joe

viv doing the outro vocals of All We Need ;O;

I've come to the conclusion we don't get to see Rick at all in this

joe calling Gimme a Kiss "playful" and "fun" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) is that what he calls it?

seriously. i can't STOP looking at joe's silver chest hair 👁👄👁

viv saying "Elton Joe" and I can't believe I didn't think of that first bc one of the first things I thought of Goodbye for Good This Time was that Elton should cover it

THEY REALLY ARE TALKING WITH THEIR HANDS THEY'RE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AWWWW IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE THEM SO HAPPY

joe wanting to punch his 22 year old self in the face bc of him making melodies so high to sing

viv did the solo on Unbreakable catch me loving it even more

i stg they don't even MENTION Rick once

"making From Here to Eternity was like giving birth to an elephant" -sav

sav calling it one of the oldest songs on the album

From Here to Eternity being about a love triangle where a man kills his lover's mistress

joe actually using the phrase "murder ballad"

viv calling From Here to Eternity a sav song "in case you can't tell- bc it's got that dramatic vibe to it"

viv's solo in From Here to Eternity being placed in the wrong spot but viv liking it better (and so do I)

they need to make a music video for FHTE in black and white as a film noir change my mind

[doyouknowthemossinman]

okay someone asked me frfr for the RGB/Bad Suns song picks so HERE I GO ( @goosemagician i am forever in your debt !!!!!!)

i talk way too much so erm. BE WARNED, HERE BE WORDS

We Move Like the Ocean from Language and Perspective

The entire first verse of this song is literally RGB's headspace during Cut to, Greenlight, Dissolve, and Iris imo. like "I've been painting pictures in my head and falling short / Losing my direction, turn me around" THAT'S HIM AND MADRAS OK!!! HE'S SO SAD

The second verse is very much his weird not-his-death dreams. I just felt like is was kinda fitting? Maybe he's talking to Hate here? (The "didn't you used to dance" face and Hate's face in his flashback are the SAME has anyone talked about this yet)

To me the chorus is his relationship with Hero as it develops. They've got kind of a rhythm going now, they kinda know how the other works, they are getting closer emotionally hahaha, but RGB literally and figuratively can't swim. He's not as emotionally available as Hero needs him to be. Even the "anymore" on the end of that line implies that he has bonded with people like that in the past (at least romantically if i'm interpreting light entertainment as canon? it's canon right??) but he can't for Hero. Yet.

Even in my Dreams, I Can't Win from Disappear Here

Honestly this entire song is just him and I can SEE a little animatic in my head but I'll try to explain

The first verse feels like what his nights are like without a hero to guide, those inbetweens when he has to find the gall to get back up to the Inbetween (ha) and find another keyframe.

The pre-chorus and chorus is just his cycle of finding heroes and failing time and time again. rip.

The bridge feels like him getting frustrated and overwhelmed at his not-death nightmares and trying to explain them to Hero and this is all he comes up with lol. It's not even entirely accurate but I think he would at least try and explain them to her eventually.

Away We Go from Mystic Truth

honestly this one's kind of just an adventuring song!! Maybe cutting between his time with Magnus and some of the heroes? or just Hero? It feels simple to me and I kinda just picked it to have one song from each album lmao. BUT IT ALSO APPLIES I would never disrespect Mystic Truth like that

Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me from Apocalypse Whenever

This is basically "determined little ball of sunshine worms her way into a monster's non-existent heart" the song. Like the Iris through Flood era. Like "how does this little girl keep violently pulling her forcefully-adopted dad out of his depression"

First verse is sad dad!!!! I know "My thoughts came flooding in / I started to drown" relates to the title of Flood and he has come close to being drowned like twice, but it's more like that vaguely suicidal moment he has after Madras pushes him backward??? BABE ARE U OKAY

"Lit my own fuse, I could not blow it out / I was strapped to a rocket aimed right at the ground" is definitely one of their arguments/genuine heartbreaking fights but it'S OK THEY STILL LOVE EACH OTHER

AND THE CHORUS OH MY GOD. He realizes how much Hero really means to him and is just SO mad about it. Okay not mad but like!! He wasn't supposed to get attached and now here he is!!!! Also IF at the end of the story RGB turns back into a human (that's a theory people have right) "I had no reason to breathe / Until you knocked the wind out of me" IS GOING TO BE SO LITERAL OH MY GODDDD (I don't personally think that's where we're going but it would be sooooo niceeee andmy songs would work so well for thaaat)

Anyway!!! Thank you for making it to the end!! As a prize you get more song recs because GOD he literally is just Bad Suns to me

Okay wait actually, bonus Thoughts because i'm listening to L&P again, Salt is like if he ever got a weird dysphoria after becoming a monster??? IF THAT EVEN HAPPENED??? Mirror mention and my brain went insane sorry. "These memories are nothing to me, just salt" mans literally SOLD his so like. IT'S RELEVANT. idk please go listen to Salt it's so trans

Most of Language and Perspective (the album not just the song) is pretty relevant to him but that may just be my bias getting in the way lol. Cardiac Arrest, Dancing on Quicksand, and Salt would be my number ones but I'm so for real please go listen to the whole album

Disappear Here also has bangers but so far the only other song I can relate to this mess of a man is Defeated.

One Magic Moment is him and Hero for sureee but it's just a vibe, other than the first lines i don't have any deeper thoughts lol. Love By Mistake is also him idk.

Unstable is his denial song i think <3 babes is not okay

Most of Apocalypse Whenever is so happy in a genuine way, while TV boy here is happy in a fake way. Maybe it'll apply more by the end of the story but for now nothing really fits. EXCEPT FOR ELECTRIC CIRCUS AAAAHHH??? hOW COULD I FORGET. "Crushed by a tidal wave of lies an shame" OKAY GIRL. anyway never thought i'd tell you that the album with a PVRIS feature is too happy but here we are

The Infinite Joy EP is SO GOOD guys. Living or Dying is vaguely RGB-vibey? Maybe Astral Plans as well but it's very loose.

OK FOR REAL GO FORTH AND BECOME BAD SUNS FANS

[dadkisser15]

I’m actually going to cry why do I miss him so much right now ☹️

He’s asleep and I don’t really want to sleep yet because I want to speak with him but I’m just doomscrolling on TikTok as one does and I decided that I missed his face and opened up my camera roll and he sent me this picture that his brother took of him sleeping earlier and it’s just so cute. Oh there’s tears in my eyes I really really like this man ,,,,,

He just looks so beautiful, he wouldn’t believe me if I told him that but I really do just adore his features. (If we had kids oh my godddd. I know that’s crazy that I’m even thinking that but I CANNOT HELP MYSELFF!!!) I love his eyes and his long lashes, I love his beautiful brown hair (especially when it’s messy) , his cute scruffy facial hair and his side burnnsssssssss. Oh and his nose, especially in the picture i mentioned earlier ohhhh my gosh it just looks so amazing. He dislikes his nose so much and constantly makes jokes about reducing the size of it and it upset me a lot because I really do believe it’s beautiful. To me it’s like a work of art, when I was doing more character art my favorite thing to draw was noses !! His nose shape was literally my favorite type to draw and I feel like that makes him very special. Like, wow this boy I’m insanely infatuated with is quite literally a work of art. I’m still looking at the picture and I didn’t mention earlier but I love his cute little mustache, everytime I look at it I just wonder how it would feel to his him and feel that brush against my lip, would it even? I’m not sure, I kinda forgot how it feels like to kiss someone but I’d love to relearn with him. That feels a tad inappropriate to say but I really do feel that way. I’m not feeling really sad anymore but I’m also just upset by the fact that I was even missing him even though I spoke to him a couple hours ago. He literally told me before going to bed not to miss him too much and i thought to myself, “that’s silly, it’s just a couple hours and I’ll be fine” and I hate to say it but he was right. I hate how he knows how my brain works, well.. I don’t hate it. It’s just embarrassing how predictable I am, maybe I’m just boring but who reallly knows.!!! Oh and I was so upset because he left me on sent for a little while see actually I’m okay with that but I just didn’t know what he was doing and that was upsetting me and because I didn’t know my brain immediately jumped to overthinking so I kinda just upset myself. I know verrry dumb but that’s just how I am, I’m always just thinking of the what’s if and I made myself feel bad for no reason. Maybe I do need a lobotomy but what if my overthinking was right. What do I do then!!!!! Be the other woman ? FUCK NOOOOOO !!!!!! I’d rather get stabbed in the arm five times in the same spot okay wait that actually sounds deranged but listen I just would not like being a second option or some stupid shit like that and my insecurities are just jumping out at me and making me think I am but guys, wtf do I do actually if I am ??? 😨 KMS??? That’s also crazy and dramatic so no but I pray that this boy is not trying to do me dirty because I think I’d genuinely lose my mind. Can we just eviscerate all his female friends? Like genuinely, just treat them like fish or something idk 😜!! Sorry thatsss meannnnnn. He can have female friends i guessss 😒. I personally believe they shouldn’t be doing no corny shit with my boy though like cutesy nicknames or making them match with him like FUCKKKKNOOOOOOOOOO .!! 😭😭😭 THAT ALONE IS 50 FUCKING BODIES.

50 FUCKING BODIES !!!!

Kidding, I can’t do shit about that except SEETHE and that I will do!! I’m currently seething thinking about it right now. God, liking a boy with female friends is not for the weak because I am the weak and I cannot take this. Maybe it’s all the over thinking but this shit making me feel sick to my stomach.hhhhh. Oh my god can god take me right now because the thoughts that are going through my head right now might make me just pass away rn to just meeet him. Oh I wanna cry! WHATEERVEVEGER I’ll stay jealous, mad and seething like crazy. I just wish I could have him in my arms and just have him as mine. If he gets tired yeah he can leave but for now I’d just like to have him. Like ohh calm down guys you can have him back after like 2 weeks just let me have him for a while!!! I just want to treat him good and make him feel good. Ohhhhh guys don’t start throwing up pitchforks just because I want to keep him busy for a while, yall will get him back don’t worry 😒. Jeeeeezzzzzzus! Okay I thought that bit was funny. I’m not saying he should isolate himself or anything but like guys do we need female friends 🙄🙄🙄. Joking JOKINGG PUT THE PITCHFORKS DOWNN GUYS IT WAS A JOKE!!! Anyways I should conclude this dumb rant because nothing about this will change and I will forever be salty. OH MY GOD salty is the perfect way to describe how I’ve been feeling!! It’s like I’m jealous but I can’t do shit so all I can do is let this feeling linger and be salty because I’m very non confrontational at times and especially when I don’t want to be verbal about my feelings. OHH LINGER BY THE CRANBERRIES

DO YOU HAVE TO LET IT LINGERRRRE DO YOU HAVE. TO LET IT LINGERRRR

BnHA Chapter 294: A Half-Assed Escape

Previously on BnHA: Mirio was all “SURPRISE I’M BACK THANKS TO OUR RESIDENT SEVEN-YEAR-OLD WHO RECENTLY EARNED HER BACHELOR’S OF BEING A TOTAL BADASS.” Kacchan was all, “you know what, Dabi’s been trending long enough, time to remind the fandom what a real G looks like,” and he blasted his little bleeding body back into the fray and was all “FROM HERE ON OUT CALL ME DYNAMIGHT!!” Mirio was all, “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... oh, you’re serious,” and Kacchan was all “!!”, and so that’s the story of how my son got murdered twice in one day. Meanwhile in the Todoroki Drama Zone, Deku was all “STOP MURDERING MY FRIEND” and Dabi was all “THAT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” and fandom had a whole big debate about Whether Or Not Dabi Trying To Murder Deku’s Friends And Mentors Is Any Of Deku’s Business, which went exactly how you think it went. Anyway, so then Deku yelled at Dabi, and Endeavor was all moved by his manly words and randomly went to go uppercut Machia in the chin. And, seeing as how the Momoserum finally chose that exact moment to kick in, Machia is now down for the count.

Today on BnHA: The Miriosquad handles the Nearly High End Noumus, freeing up Jeanist to jasphyxiate (okay that one doesn’t really work so well) the rest of the League. Compress is all “TIME FOR THIS MILD-MANNERED SIDE CHARACTER VILLAIN TO SHINE”, except that by “shine” what he actually means is “use his quirk to punch a literal hole right through his own ass to free himself.” The rest of the chapter is basically just a back and forth between him and Jeanist, with Jeanist trying to recapture him, and Compress repeatedly thwarting him by chopping more holes out of himself because HE’S FRESH OUT OF FUCKS, AND THE ONES AT THE STORE ARE ALL SOLD OUT, MOTHERFUCKERS. Anyway, so with Compress basically dying and all, Horikoshi is all “you know what that means”, and delivers a freshly-baked villain flashback revealing that Compress is a descendant of Harima Ouji, a.k.a. the Peerless Thief, a.k.a. some famous guy whom Gentle mentioned this one time for like two seconds back in the day. The chapter ends with Compress finally demasking himself and dumping Tomura back onto the ground, a.k.a. The Worst Possible Place For Tomura To Be. ( •﹏•)

WHY IS CRUST HERE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD

-- OH WAIT, SHIT. OH

AIZAWAAAA you’re alive and receiving medical help thank GOD. HOW MANY EYES DO YOU HAVE. AND MIRKO!! HOW MANY LIMBS DO YOU HAVE, OMG

so is this Aizawa dreaming about Crust’s final moments, then?? jesus. with All Due Respect to Crust’s memory, does Aizawa not already have enough misplaced guilt on his conscience as it is?? “nope, we’re gonna keep piling it on. that’s all he is now. three limbs, an indeterminate number of eyes, sexy hair, and Guilt” well shit

motherfucker y’all really out here placing an oxygen mask on Gran Torino’s corpse. fucking shounen characters. each one comes with a lifetime warranty

DAMN YOU HORIKOSHI WHY DO YOU KEEP SHOWING THESE CLOSE-UPS OF HAWKS’S UNCONSCIOUS FACE ALL WHUMPED OUT AND EXHAUSTED. HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS ARE WE GOING TO GET. ARE YOU PLANNING ON KILLING ME WITH THE UPCOMING CONVALESCENCE ARC, BECAUSE IF SO, AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO TELL ME AHEAD OF TIME SO I CAN MAKE A WILL

for a moment I considered going back and checking my previous recaps to count how many times I’ve already made a joke about Dabi’s fire incinerating Hawks’s wings but not touching so much as a hair on his five o’clock shadow, so that I could calculate whether or not I could possibly get away with making that same joke one more time. but then I realized I could just do it in this kind of roundabout way I’m doing right now instead. so there you have it

FFFFFFFMT LADY AND MIDNIGHT NOOOOO

PLEASE BE ALIVE. PLEASE RESPECT THE SIGN ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. THE ONE THAT SAYS “NO LADY CHARACTERS ALLOWED TO DIE”, WITH THE FINE PRINT AT THE BOTTOM “AT LEAST NOT UNTIL HORIKOSHI GIVES US LIKE TWENTY-SIX MORE OF THEM FIRST IF THAT’S THE WAY HE WANTS TO PLAY IT.” IT’S A GOOD SIGN, PLEASE RESPECT ITS WISHES!!

so anyway though, Jeanist is giving a speech about how god knows how many people all worked together to bring Machia down. and now RHA is getting in on those fabric puns too, I see. “A SINGLE STRAND MAY BE THIN BUT TOGETHER THEY FORM A STRONG ROPE” oh so you think you guys are funny eh? I’m a frayed knot

MEANWHILE EXCUSE ME BUT WHY ARE YOU FUCKING CRYING BLOOD, HOLY SHIT

fffffff. so much for him taking over as the Number One once all this is over. so let’s just recap real quick, because Horikoshi has long since made it clear that one of his plot goals for this arc is to wipe out every single member of the Billboard Top Ten. so how we doin?

Endeavor - was just figuratively eviscerated in front of the entire nation by his homicidal zombiepunk son. also burnt half to death and possibly down a lung. will almost certainly be forced to retire after this one way or the other

Hawks - lying prettily in a medical tent. wings status: gone. hair status: still perfect

Jeanist - WELL I THOUGHT HE WAS FINE BUT APPARENTLY HE’S OUT HERE DYING, JESUS CHRIST

Edgeshot - MIA, last seen fighting Re-Destro. I really want him to have kicked RD’s ass because fuck that guy, but realistically they probably fought to a draw at best

Mirko - alive but in critical condition and missing something like 1.5 limbs

Crust - dead, currently haunting Aizawa’s traumatized dreams. now he’s gonna be triggered the rest of his life by people giving him the thumbs up, THANKS A LOT

Kamui Woods - was set on fire which is His Weakness. thoughts and prayers

Wash - last seen floating hospital patients to safety as Tomura’s wave of decay descended towards him. probably dead ffff

Old Man Samurai - haven’t seen this fucker in a hot minute, who even knows where he’s wandered off to

Ryuukyuu - currently being treated for her wounds, looked pretty bad off. but it’s hard to tell how hurt she is since most of the injuries were acquired in her transformed state. SHE BETTER GET WELL SOON

anyways, so yeah. so much for the top ten. guess that’s another reason Horikoshi brought Mirio back now, huh

so there’s a big panel of everyone fighting the Noumu while Machia lies there all “blurgh.” good riddance my dude. it took like twenty chapters and a hundred people to stop this guy so I really fucking hope he stays down. you’ve had your fun

anyway so Jeanist is sending another steel thread towards Dabi! and he’s all “just a bit more!!” fklklj this is gonna go real well isn’t it

meanwhile Mirio’s fighting a Nearly High End with all of these weird rock formations jutting out of its skin. go on and kick his ass then, Mirio

“each of these guys is probably just as strong as the Noumu from Kyuushuu” hold on I thought Ujiko or Tomura or someone said that wasn’t the case? not that Mirio would know I suppose. anyways let’s just hope he’s wrong cuz if not these kids are probably screwed

kLSDKFHLSKHGLKLK OH MY GODDDD

IIDA FUCKING TENYA YOU’RE A PEACH. THINKS THE NAME IS OUTRAGEOUS, CHECK. USES IT ANYWAY, CHECK. “JUST BECAUSE I DON’T UNDERSTAND DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T BE SUPPORTIVE.” WHAT A CLASS ACT

AND KACCHAN IS RESPONDING WITH AS MUCH DIGNITY AS HE CAN MUSTER

WOW, SON. IT’S ALMOST AS THOUGH YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR TORSO, OR SOMETHING!! although listen up, real talk, the fact that Kacchan of all people can’t muster the energy to yell at someone questioning his ability to kick ass is HIGHKEY troubling and we may be in need of an intervention here soon :/

now Jeanist is finally turning his attention to the League! was... was it not already on the League. omg

ACTUAL SCREAMING AHHHHHH FUCK FUCKLK LK AHHLKHKFFFF

hey so um. what the actual fucked up hell. my soul left my body. imagine if you saw the reflection of this panel on your bedroom window. you would never sleep again

OKAY RHA TRANSLATORS ARE YOU HAVING YOURSELF A LAUGH AGAIN

THIS CANNOT BE WHAT HE’S ACTUALLY SAYING RIGHT. BUT IT’S RIGHT IN THAT UNCANNY VALLEY OF NOT BEING QUITE SURE, THOUGH... (　ﾟдﾟ)

(ETA: just a next-day clarification here, apparently my sleep-deprived ADHD word-skipping brain completely skipped right over the “a” in that last panel, so what I read was, “and Shigaraki’s limp noodle.” so yeah, the moral of this story is always read the speech bubble carefully before you start making running jokes throughout the rest of your post, folks.)

oh wow he’s really freaking out lmao

to be fair though, I’d argue that Dabi has gotten pre-tty close at this point :’) thrilled for him, really I am

but anyway, well then figure something out you big dramatic robot-armed fiend. didn’t you just say you could touch your own ass? can you not just Compress yourself to break free?? does it not work on you? or would you be stuck afterwards lol

(ETA: I was picturing him compressing his entire body at once, not just chunks of it. ghhhlkh.)

um

holy shit Jeanist. are you stupidly trying to cut off their air, or are you going for more of a sleeper hold (jleeper hold??) thing instead. the latter would be way smarter and faster and probably safer as well just saying

but unless Spinner is just being super dramatic, it sure looks like he’s fucking strangling them djslkjlk. this will certainly cement his popularity among the villain stans. good thing you’re not running for office any time soon bud

anyway so I have no idea what these guys are trying to do now. what is this

do you even have till the count of 5 at this rate. I mean

OH MY GOODNESS

HE’S REALLY FUCKING DOING IT!! HE’S COMPRESSING HIS BUTT!! OMFG. TOMURA HIDE YOUR NOODLE!!!

WHAT THE FUCK

DID YOU COMPRESS A PIECE OF YOUR OWN ASS. FUCKING WHAT. PUT THIS MAN’S PICTURE IN THE DICTIONARY NEXT TO THE WORD “LOYALTY”, HOLY CRAP

HOLY SHIT COMPRESS

“HOLY SHIT DID THAT GUY JUST PUNCH A HOLE THROUGH HIS OWN ASS IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS VILLAIN PALS. FUCK IT, HE DESERVES TO ESCAPE”

jeez, talk about... A HALF-ASSED ESCAPE ATTEMPT :D :D :D hahaha. but real talk though, Horikoshi has clearly never tried to leap twelve feet straight up in the air multiple times in succession with only half his glutes though. everyone, I regret to inform you that this panel right here on the left may be slightly unrealistic

also where the hell is he going to go?? did you pack a jetpack away in one of those little marbles sir. and what about Dabi?? and Skeptic too, I guess, but we don’t really care about Skeptic

(ETA: at this point I had to stop reading for about two hours because I had to go out and take care of something; that’s also why this is being posted later than usual lol. anyways so where were we.)

oh my lord

the existence of a translator’s note here implies that the earlier line about Compress being able to reach Tomura’s junk was not, in fact, ad-libbed. hmm. hmmmmmmmm

anyway so now he’s grabbing Compress again because OF COURSE HE IS, so now we’re right back to square one! except now Tomura and Spinner are secured inside of little marbles, and presumably Compress is the only one who can release them

oh nevermind he’s just maiming himself again instead, SHEESH

Skeptic a man is dying please have some goddamn respect

so, uh. is he gonna die, though??

I really can’t tell wtf is going on here, this is the most confusing the art has been in a while. Horikoshi put all of his spoons into that creepyass close-up panel earlier, that bastard

OMG WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS

DON’T FUCKING TELL ME THE “COMPRESS IS RELATED TO THIS THIEF GUY FROM OLDEN TIMES” THEORY IS ACTUALLY TRUE WHAAAAAAT. OH SHIT

so apparently Harima was a Robin Hood type guy who stole from... heroes?? wtf. are heroes the 1% in this scenario. y’all didn’t have any Fortune 500 CEOs to steal from?

THAT’S THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS THROUGH YOU, OH SHIT. and in a related oh shit, the fact that we are getting a Compress flashback now of all times doesn’t bode super well for him. ffff

MEANWHILE THE TODOROKIS ARE STILL TODOROKI-ING

listen here boy if you touch one freaking hair on Shouto’s candy cane head I swear to god --

WHAT DID I FUCKING SAY!!!

SHOUTO NOOOOOO. WTF YOU’RE LITERALLY THE ONE GUY WHOSE WEAKNESS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FIRE. DABI YOU SHIT, YOU BETTER WATCH YOURSELF!! I’M PRINTING OUT A COPY OF THAT COMPRESS PANEL!!! KEEP AN EYE OUT ON THAT BEDROOM WINDOW YOU PUNK!!!

SO NOW POOR SHOUTO IS UNCONSCIOUS AND FALLING!! SOMEONE SAVE HIM!! WHO CATCHES THE CATCHER

COMPRESS LITERALLY HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE RIGHT NOW, WHAT IS HAPPENING

PLEASE DON’T CALL TOMURA LEADER OF THE “PLF” YOU KNOW I CAN’T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY WHEN YOU DO THAT. ARE YOU DYING. ARE YOU JUST A FUCKING HEAD NOW WTF

(ETA: “masks are removable, makeste” you know what it’s been a long day okay lmao. or I suppose Compress is really the one who is lmao.)

GASPPPPPP

okay. okay. looooool okay then

WHY WERE YOU COVERING THIS SEXY MOP OF HAIR UNDER THAT HOOD YOU TOOL. IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED SO GOOD WITH THE TOP HAT. I’M SO MAD AT YOU RIGHT NOW

as if it wasn’t enough for him to demask himself, he also had to get all shirtless and then do this weird attempt at a sexypose too huh

hard to say exactly how much of his torso is currently missing, but safe to say that’s proooooooobably not good. :///// fuck

on the other hand, Kacchan also has a torso hole and he’s still flying around like he just drank a dozen red bulls, so

this man lost his ass and he’s still out here monologuing like it’s the last two minutes of The Prestige. one might say he is monologuing his ass off

so he let Spinner and Tomura free, but is Dabi still trapped in his marble?? wasn’t he all on fire and stuff?? hopefully he can still turn off his quirk in there because if not that’s a pretty fucked up way to die. somewhere out there Snatch’s ghost is all “YEAH I’LL SAY.” oh how the turntables

last but not least, sooooooo. Tomura. back on the ground. that’s. um. ...shiiiiiiiit

anyway uh. love that but GODDDD I wish I was fucking in any way shape or form good at videos because nobody talks about how long they were kept apart. nobody talks about how hangman was one of the first names mox mentioned in his 2019 talk is jericho interview for who he wanted to wrestle. nobody talks about how kenny took the title off mox and hangman took it off kenny. how hangman fought jericho for the title in the inaugural match but mox won it off jericho. how after hangman had his badass match with Kenny and the bucks at revolution 2020, mox won that title and said “feels like beer o’clock” and looked back towards the gorilla position like he was waiting on someone. how it felt like in 2021 mox was turning heel and it looked like he was gunning for the finals of the tournament to be the first contender for whoever came out of hangman vs kenny alive. how mox should’ve been hangman’s first opponent. how hangman took the chip from mox’s grasp, how hangman should’ve been booked as the fighting champ that everyone sees moxley as being this year. at every turn, they’ve been ships in the night, barely missing each other. if hangman had beat punk, it would’ve been him in the main event at forbidden door. if they hadn’t scheduled him in a match, it would’ve been him versus mox for tanahashi instead of mox vs kyle o’reilly. if he had won the battle royal in July he would’ve had a shot on mox even THEN! SOOOO many opportunities and fate kept them apart. he literally said this to me. there were so many chances and yet, fate chose differently. people debate on whether mox is the ace of the aew or whether hangman is, or was, at any given point in time but that question lies in the booking and TK’s trust, both things that mox seemed to have more of, and I get it - mox is a little older and a little wiser, but the work ethic of the two of them is the same. they’re both so fiercely loyal to the company they work for that it’s a shame that hangman feels so overshadowed by a man who is So Like Him in many respects.

oh shit I rambled. my bad. anyway wish I could put that in a video

[hyunjinspark]

okay hey jade i’m ready for that essay on your smut LMAO IT SOUNDS SO UNSERIOUS but it’s very serious to me !

SO

first of all, you need to get slapped for thinking your smut is not that great or you’re not that good at it because you, in fact, write the best smut on and off this app, just the facts ! and i’ll tell you why even though someone kind of covered me on the reason a few asks ago. your smut is way too fucking hot my godddd like it genuinely effects me so much and as i see from other anons, it effects them just as much.

second of all, the reason it is so good imo is because it IS vanilla. you usually mention it as to show that it’s not that great because it is vanilla when i personally believe that’s what makes it that good. because vanilla is real. believe it or not people. human beings do not fuck like in porn. shit is not that insane. your smut is very realistic and true to your characters ! for example, sure hyunjin in slwy can be dominant, but he will not do shit like tie his partner or physically hurt them for pleasure. i’ve read a lot of stuff on here and the reason it doesn’t hit the way you’re so is because most of the times it’s not realistic at all, so the reader can’t really connect with it and imagine it in a way it will effect them. idk what the fuck vanilla is even supposed to mean. but i love whatever it is because it’s real and it’s good and it’s not rooted in women getting degraded for the pleasure of men, so i’ll go with it !

your smut is insanely good because you allow your readers to connect first. you don’t just shove it down our throats. it happens slowly after we’ve already connected with the characters of the story, so when it happens, it matters. someone already mentioned what i’m saying right now, but yeah, it’s so true. you care differently about a sex scene when it happens 10 minutes into the movie and a sex scene that happens in the end after you studied and learned the characters and their stories. it’s the same with writing.

aside from that, which is very important, your smut is just good because you as a writer are insanely talented and the way you describe situations allows your readers to imagine them. such amazing detail and care for it. i love that you’re not sloppy with it and you take it seriously because love and attraction and sexual pleasure is important and it’s serious and it’s beautiful. i’m an absolute wreck after reading those parts of your stories you should be real proud of yourself jade lol.

ahhh idk what else to say i think i covered all my thoughts about it. i wish for you to get as confident about it as possible. don’t be shy with it, ever ! there’s nothing to be shy about, or not confident. you’re so good at it ! have fun with it and explore it more, if that’s something you’d also like to do ! maybe you just wanted to hear it and get reassurance, so i hope i helped s little with that. i really am not lying when i say you’re the best at it, and i see that a shitttt ton of people are telling you the same. you have people telling you you got them wet and horny 😭 you’re the shit jade for real lol

rest well jade, good luck with uni and everything, and i cannot wait for the next chapter ! i’ll be back in around 15 days to check in that ! stay safe

- the anon crazy about your smut

helloooo !! no it’s very serious to me too don’t worry 😉

oh my. thank youuu. this is so !!!! this is soooooo. thank you. you just boosted my confidence so much more about writing these kind of scenes. the fact that you think it’s hot, im the happiest. 😳

ahhh of course, i bring up vanilla because most of the stuff i generally read on the internet is not, but you’re right, that’s what best represents my characters which is why i love exploring that.

you’re so right :( love, attraction and sexual pleasure is so important!! one of the reasons i was so excited to writing a written fic after my social media au was so i can explore that in depth. im very proud to wreck you 😚

i love you 😭 this definitely reassured and helped a lot. im so excited for the rest to come haha, i was before too but yeah. thank you ! i can’t wait to hear your reactions to it in the future because there’s so much more to come 😉😉

The Nightmares Don’t Stop- 6

Chapter list

Warnings: mentions of drunkenness

The room erupts into noise around you with nervous and excited chatter.

“Looks like we won’t be seeing much of each other,” Peter loudly speaks to you, still barely audible over the din of everyone else. You both stand up and look at each other. “I hope to see you around though! I hope we b-” Peter is cut off abruptly as you feel a presence behind you. Peter’s eyes widen slightly and you turn around to see none other than Tony fucking Stark.

“You two, with me!” He exclaims. His entourage of security walk with him as he turns back around so that he isn’t bombarded by recruits. You and Peter stare after him before you glance at each other and jog to catch up to Tony. You are led to the side wall which opens before Tony where a door hadn’t even existed before. Secret doors: such a Tony Stark thing. Two of the security entourage stand at the doors and wait for you and Peter to pass through before closing the doors behind you. Tony turns around abruptly and stares at the two of you.

“I know the uniforms are hideous but you two should really wear them from now on,” he says, glancing between the two of you with his eyes lingering on Peter for a moment with an unreadable expression on his face.

“I-” you begin but are cut off by Peter.

“We are so sorry Mr. Stark I know you gave the uniform to Aunt May but I woke up late today and I had forgotten to wash it the night bef-” Now it is Peter’s turn to be cut off.

“Alright kid I get it but don’t let it happen again, alright?” Tony prompts Peter, a soft look in his eye before turning to you. “What’s your excuse, missy?”

“I don’t live in the dorms and I didn’t get a uniform delivered to me,” you state with a shrug of your shoulders. Standing here with Tony, Peter, and the security makes Tony seem a lot less intimidating than when he was onstage. He is...surprisingly short.

“That’s impossible. Anyone living off of the compound got their uniform delivered. FRIDAY, do we have footage available?” Tony asks the ceiling. Before you can ask what footage he is referring to, one of the walls suddenly had your apartment building’s hallway projected onto it. You glare at it in confusion, almost feeling a bit violated. The screen shows a recording of a package being dropped off to your doorstep, even though mail was supposed to be delivered to the main desk on the ground floor. “We ensure every package gets delivered to the doorstep of the person so that any sensitive items or information goes through as few hands as possible.” Tony murmurs, as if reading your thoughts. The footage fast forwards to a blond woman of small stature and a tall, tan man stumbling down your hallway. 

“Slow the footage,” Tony says to FRIDAY. The man and woman are clearly drunk, stumbling their way to your door. The woman leans down upon seeing the package.

“Lookie! Someone left us a gift,” she giggles drunkenly as the man goes to unlock the door. He gets quickly frustrated when the door won’t seem to open. The woman looks around slowly at her surroundings and then at the door. “Oh my godddd this isn’t the right floor! We need to go up one more” She slurs, grabbing the man’s shoulder with your package still in her hand. They stumble off back to the elevator. God your upstairs neighbors really are the worst.

“Well that scene sure looks familiar,” comes a voice from behind you. You spin around to see Black Widow herself, standing only a couple feet behind you. She looks at you with a smirk as if there’s an inside joke between the two of you. Clearly this is an inside joke that you aren’t aware of.

“What does that mean?” you ask confusedly. She chuckles and you can practically hear the confusion coming from Peter and Tony. 

“FRIDAY please show footage at this location on Sunday at 3:30 A.M.” Natasha says smoothly. You all turn back to face the screen and to your horror, you see the familiar redhead practically carrying you down the hallway to your apartment as your drunk self stumbles along. You look on mortified until the footage stops after you enter your apartment. Peter is the first to speak.

“I didn’t know you knew Miss Romanov!” Peter exclaimed beside you with far too much enthusiasm.

“I don’t,” you mutter, “I didn’t even remember how I got home that night let alone the fact that I met an Avenger.” You are beyond mortified. Suddenly the doors open again and in walks Pepper Potts. 

“Hi Ms. Potts!” Peter greets her almost familiarly. She nods to him politely.

“The teams are being sent to have breakfast before the rest of their day. You two,” she motions to Peter and yourself, “need uniforms first though. Happy,” she turns to one of the security members. “Come with me to get these two uniforms please. Tony, you should come along too. There’s some prep work we need to do.” She walks past the rest of you and is followed by the man who you assume is the one she called ‘Happy.” 

“Ooh, prep work. Sounds kinky,” Tony winks at Pepper as she passes him without a second glance. “Did you hear me, Pep?” he shouts after her.

“She heard you, buddy,” Happy retorts with a chuckle. Tony frowns and then looks back at the two of you. “I’ll see you in my group, Peter, and don’t worry…”

“Y/n.” you interject.

“Y/n,” Tony continues, “That scene up there was one I am all too familiar with.” He winks at you and walks off. You and Peter are left in a stunned state at everything that just unfolded while Natasha just stands there silently. Suddenly, the doors open again to reveal the one and only Steve Rogers. He looks around at the three of you and quirks an eyebrow.

“What’d I miss?” he asks no one in particular.

[latinobirds]

So I noticed that you are Brazilian, can I have some tips on writing Brazilian people (I don't want to accidentally have the characters be bad representation)

Okay this is going to be long because i’ve been waiting for someone to ask me this for who knows how long. Also thank you for asking ;w;

1.What to avoid

-If your character is the only brazillian/latino in the story, avoid making them orbit around the white character(s). Which means, give them their own lifes, their own relationships, their own hobbies, likes and dislikes, that don’t involve an usamerican or european! You don’t need to do all of these if it won’t fit your story, but it’s good to just make at least one of these so they are their own person

-The character fighting style is capoeira...it’s alright if they took classes and it kinda stuck with them, but capoeira is not learned to be used in actual fights, it’s more of a dance then a fight if anything. it’s just that the dance moves happen to be like fighting, but it’s just like dancing in the regard of both parts need to get ready to fight in harmony, plus there’s literally people singing and playing instruments like berimbau in capoeira fights...

-Making your only brazillian/latino character in the story be the comedic relief or punchbag. It’s not bad to have comedic relief characters, or to make your br character be a jokester! Brazillians have a huge sense of humour, and we love joking and not taking things very seriously. But to make your character boil down to the butt of the joke or the punchbag is just mean to your audience. How do you think we feel if our only rep is shown when we’re being made fun of or being beaten up?

-It’s not exactly bad to have your character like music/samba, be from Rio de janeiro, be a jokester/malandro, be an animal, play futebol, and/or have a green/yellow color palette. But it would be great to have something new for once. 97% of brazillian characters fit into these cattegories, and it’s not only not very relatable but kind of feels like it’s the only things you guys know about us, or care about enough to write.

-On that note, it’s also not bad to have a flirty br character, or a handsome character, or a character that everyone falls in love with, but that may also fall into the sexy latino trope, which is not good because it objectifies us. Your character can be pretty, and they can like to flirt, and they can be loved by many, but make it be because that’s who they are, not because they’re brazillian.

2. Billingual characters in media

So, i’m just going to sum it up because my opinions on this topic aren’t something new, in fact i’m quite indifferent. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about characters that switch mid phrase to speak their native language for no reason, and like...no billingual person would do that, that kind of confuses us and the people we’re talking to. However, like i said, i don’t really care. Of course, i’d love a character that would be like “it’s like! um...what’s the word again? damn it how do i say cocada em inglês?”, but i also don’t care so much if i get a character that goes “olá amigos!!how are you doing?”

However here’s some scenarios i'd like to see in a billingual character, because they’re hella relatable for billingual people. Doesn’t mean you have to do them tho, consider them some ideas that you can or can not use

-The character remembers a word in another language instead of the one they were currently speaking, and gets frustrated because they can’t remember no matter how hard they try!...then 20 minutes later, after changing topics, they shout the word because they finally remembered it

-The character talks to themselves in the opposite language they’re currently talking with(if i’m talking english, i’m thinking in portuguese. if im talking in portuguese, im thinking in english)

-The character acidentally mix words in both languages they know, and it makes sense in their head but no sense when they say it

-The character has a great vocabulary in their second language, and a lazy vocabulary in their first language.(we tend to get more relaxed in our native languages, and more anxious about mistakes in a second language)

-The character speaks in their native language to joke with someone that doesn’t speak it, or speaks in their native language when talking bad about someone or anything they don’t want others to hear

-The character tries to translate a slang in portuguese to english because they forgot it wasn’t a slang in english, and it makes no sense at all, confusing everyone but them

3.Some details that we’d love to see in brazillian characters!

-If the character is from another place that isn’t rio de janeiro/são paulo/bahia. Bonus if their behaviour and/or taste in food is affected by where they’re from!

-The character enjoys other types of songs/dances besides samba&capoeira. we have several genres of music and dances that your character could love! funk, technobrega, bossa nova, sertanejo, mpb, forró...it even could tell a lot about a character, where they’re from, when they were born, they’re personality...

-The character mentions some brazillian food they like. This one is super easy, and it’s a small detail that doesn’t even have to change much in a story. Just have your character, idk, say they love pão de queijo, or have a scene they’re making brigadeiro, or have them wake up to eat beiju...it’s small details that are very appreciated.

-The character mentions some accurate detail about a place in brazil(that isn’t rio oh my godddd). Like them just thinking about the candy colored houses in bahia, just that. 

Once i’ve readed a ttc fic where the author made Zé mention tarsila do amaral, a brazillian artist, and i couldn’t belive my eyes. i was so sure the author was brazillian! but she wasn’t! she just researched!!! i was smiling so much that day

Basically just something that makes us know you actually researched or spent time while making this character. The bar is so so low

Anyways, hope this was helpful! If you have any questions or want me to be more specific about a certain topic, don’t be afraid to ask! I love rambling about my culture, and i love being helpful, so i have a great time answering questions like this!

[septiembrre]

what are your top 5 rio moments?

Wow. Everyone knows how obsessed I am with my main man, Rio. He’s one of my all time favs, definitely top 5 characters across my history of fandom. Honestly, the question is more like what Rio moments don’t I like. 

Okay! I’m going with my intuition. In no particular order:

1. Rio’s apartment and 20 questions. 

Oh my godddd, can you believe we lived before this scene??? Some thoughts:

Our boy wears cashmere pullovers? I still cannot believe. 

His closet overall... he keeps pictures of his parents or grandparents (???)  in there. Ugh, my boy. There aren’t necessarily a lot of Mexican folks who have access to pictures of their ancestors, so it definitely inspires questions as to what Rio’s class background/family immigration story is. 

He’s a confirmed art-heaux?!?! 

He likes the color GREEN!?!

He’s a cute doting dad who purchases jumbo hamburger stuffies for his sweet angelic child who apparently knows how to clean his room. Does Rio pay someone to clean his house or is this level of meticulous just his Virgo/Cap moon coming out to play? 

He has a record player and not a tv. Like wow, my hipster millennial spirit transcended. 

He has copper cookware. I just- I cannot. I burn. I kind of want him to adopt me? Idek as what? Like I’m happily partnered but do I want him to be my baller, sexy af boyfriend? Obviously. Do I want to be his best friend who he invites over for bougie dinner parties who armchair diagnoses his lack of success in romantic relationships? Absolutely. Do I also kind of want him to be my rich dad? I mean... yeeeah. He’s really got me fanning myself over here on this copper cookware. 

We also learned that there are not any significant others worthy of display. HMMMMM.

And his bedroom has no walls. 

Wild. The whole scene, even before he’s actually in it is wild. I’m a Libra y’all and the fine-living details in this set are just so much for my heart. 

And then he actually fucking shows up. I think about this scene ALL the time. 

2. Can I just pick 2x09 as an entire moment?  Rio letting himself be lured to Beth’s house for sex (It’s lonely at the top, the heart-eyes at the bar, “what am I doing here, Elizabeth?”, ALL OF THE GAZING, THE KISS, fuck, even the break up???). 

I guess objectively I can recognize that the above is potentially five separate moments. Oh well. 

But, the layers of mounting vulnerability in this episode were wonderful. My heart still hurts for him. It hurts for Beth. I love these moments where we seem him vulnerable and intimate. 

My sweet prince you are  in love  deep feels with someone who has only been in one very shitty relationship. The last time our girl went on a first date she was probably 15. She doesn’t mean to be an asshole, sweetie, also, I know you just had a lot of sex made love~~*** lol you troll that came back to bite you and it’s what you deserve  but she still doesn’t think that you like her. I love the transparency of want and feelings mixed in with the layers of misunderstanding and miscommunication in this episode. It’s so dumb and wonderful. 

3. Intimidating killing? Gil

Everything about this scene was A+++ to me. I love watching Rio at work. I love watching him be boss with someone besides Beth. It’s great to get information about who Rio is independently of Beth, but it also helps shade in just how nice he is to her, and what’s unique to their relationship. 

But yes, give me twenty more gratuitous scenes of Rio being a smug king pin, please. 

4. That S1 scene at Cloud Nine

The hoodie

The straw

The sass

Getting called a bitch

Rio in a playful scene with ALL of the good girls? 

Again, can we get twenty more iterations of this scene? Please? 

I love these early scenes before the show fully picked what they were going to do with Rio’s character and he comes across as so young and playful. It’s delightful and I love the way Manny/the show have found other moments to carry that forward. 

5. The bar scene where Beth says she lost the pregnancy

Rio’s so raw in this scene. He’s exhausted, and vulnerable, and suddenly thrown into feelings of grief. He’s grieving the ridiculous situation they’re in, being fully faced with a future where he kills Beth and it hurts him now that he’s been reminded of her humanity and how much he legitimately used to like her. He’s kind of devastated in that scene? The emotion on his face is so rich and such a nice counter beat to the fierce anger and resentment in Season 3.  Manny did an incredible job - the scene is magnificent.

Honorable mentions:

Rio being his most petty, terrible self at the clinic. When he fake smiles at Beth in the waiting room, it’s not his sexy smile, it’s a particular brand of hateful and condescending and I LIVE FOR IT.  

The last Rio scene in Season 3 between him and Beth in the empty showroom. That level of chemistry between them and the quick resurgence of the emotional investment from Rio, the flirting... My boy, I ship you with Beth 1000% but sweetheart, what are you doing already genuinely liking her so damn much? Please, never change.  

The break up in Season 1 <3 This scene is such a treat. I love that they gave it to us so early.
