MUGI I feel like I haven’t picked at your brain for a hot minute how are you?? Do you have any blorbo thoughts to share

Hey, Nina! 💖💖💖 I'm so happy to hear from you! I have been a little quiet. Just going through some stuff, BUUUUUUT I can always share blorbo thoughts! 😍

Lately, my head has been full of Luffy, but that's not really a surprise now is it? 💖 I'm just thinking of the first time he shows tenderness, which really takes you by surprise. The way he grabs your hand and slowly threads his fingers between yours. As innocent as it is, it gets your heart racing. He was just walking next to you and just does it out of nowhere. He can certainly be full of surprises. 😍

STEVE HARRINGTON'S ♡ LOVE GUIDE ♡

content: how steve would act when he has a crush or is beginning to date someone! sfw! word count - 547

notes: I swear steve would be the *best* boyfriend.

⟡ what it's like for steve to have a crush ⟡

steve is bold as hell when he has a crush, making his feelings well known. he has no problem flirting with you, rarely getting flustered while he talks to you. he's a smooth guy, genuinely too, as he woos you with compliments. you are amused by his confidence, liking how he comes off more adult then the other boys at Hawkin's who can't even make eye contact.

to further show his interest in you, he'll call your house, questioning you on how your day went, or sometimes just to say goodnight, while he lays on his bed, phone nestled between his ear and shoulder, as he listens to the soft hum of your voice.

when steve has a crush, he'll always make sure he looks good, becoming slightly self-absorbed, as he makes sure his hair and clothes are nicely presented.

steve will also think about his crush all. the. time. and wonder if you're thinking of him too. he talks about his crush constantly, annoying the hell out of his friends robin and dustin. he'll ramble about you, wondering if you have feelings for him too, while his friends listen, their chin resting in the palm of their hand, eyes beginning to close, as they listen, and listen, to steve talk about you.

⟡ what it's like for steve to date someone ⟡

steve is such a golden retriever of a boyfriend. steve is so caring, such a sweetheart, as he takes care with his new title ‘boyfriend.’ his girlfriend is lucky, always pampered by steve.

steve loves to spoil his gf, working tirelessly at scoops ahoy to save money to take gf to get her nails done, take her shopping or take her on a date to the movies. steve loves to buy you things, teddy bears, flowers, or chocolates, showing his love language - gift giving. whatever his gf wants, steve will buy for her. such a simp.

steve’s nicknames for you are darling, baby, dollface and princess; each one replacing your name and steve uses them so often to the point where his friends jokingly call you those nicknames.

steve is very forward, moving through his relationship quickly; he falls in love so easy with you. steve was quick to introduce you to his parents, bringing you over to his house constantly to show that he’s serious about dating you. he often will talk about marrying you or having children with you so nonchalantly. he’ll breeze right over the comments he makes: “when we get married..” or “when we have kids…” and hope that you react positively. steve can see marrying you in a few years, perhaps after you finish college or when he saves up some money. either way he wants you to get used to the idea.

steve is very affectionate, taking any opportunity to put his hands on you or kiss you deeply for hours on end. he’s a gentlemen of course, often letting you take the lead on what physical activities you get up to. he loves you and finds you beautiful. although he makes it clear he’s not only focused on being physically intimate with you, he does like to show how attracted he is to you.

“Please don’t tell me you’re gonna wear your Scoops uniform as a costume this year.” You sighed, shaking your head once he ran down the stairs at the first sound of the doorbell.

“I’m a sailor. And it was my spare, not getting any use since that thing destroyed the mall.” Steve adjusted his attire and put his hat on, which you noticed was altered to cover the “AHOY!” written across the front. “Aren’t you gonna answer the door?”

“Don’t get your ‘britches’ in a twist, sailor boy.” You finally opened the door and a chorus of trick or treat’s greeted you, a half dozen kids waiting with their bags open.

“One for you, and you, and you,” Steve counted out as he plucked piece by piece from the candy bowl and dropped them in each basket and bag, “woah, Star Wars, nice. I just watched that at work the other day.” He high-fived the young Jedi and you sent them off on their way.

“Happy Halloween, guys!” You waved and looked over at Steve. “I miss those days.”

“Yeah, same.” He nodded. “When did we get so old?”

00:00 - Welcome

NiNi

Welcome to The Conversation About BL, aka The Brown Liquor Podcast.

Ben

And there it is. I’m Ben.

NiNi

I’m NiNi.

Ben

And we’re you’re drunk Caribbean uncle and auntie here sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs.

NiNi

Four times a year we pop in to talk about what’s going on in the BL world.

Ben

We shoot the shit about stories and all the drama going into them. I review from a queer media lens.

NiNi

And I review from a romance and drama lens.

Ben

So if you like cracked-out takes and really intense emotional analysis…

NiNi

If you like talking about artistry, industry, and the discourse…

Ben

And if you generally just love simping…

NiNi

There is a lot of simping on this podcast…

Ben

We are the show for you!

[fanfare sound]

01:23 - Introduction

Ben

And we're back. 

Yesterday, hopefully, you heard the Acting episode. Today we're talking about shipping. BL is powered purely by people's desire to ship these people with each other, so we're gonna acknowledge it and hand out some awards.

NiNi

Our Ship Awards are character awards, because we are simps, but we are not creeps. They are given out to the pairs that worked really, really well. They have got real power to drive enjoyment in the story. 

We've got four categories here: Best Ghost Ship, Best Friendship, Best Side Ship—which is becoming a little bit of a tradition that Ben and I battle this one out on the show—and of course, Best Main Ship.

02:19 - Interlude: Mr. Darcy proposes - Pride and Prejudice (1995)

“In vain I have struggled. It will not do! My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. In declaring myself thus I'm fully aware that I will be going expressly against the wishes of my family, my friends, and, I hardly need add, my own better judgment.

“The relative situation of our families is such that any alliance between us must be regarded as a highly reprehensible connection. Indeed as a rational man I cannot but regard it as such myself, but it cannot be helped. Almost from the earliest moments of our acquaintance I have come to feel for you a passionate admiration and regard, which despite all my struggles has overcome every rational objection. And I beg you, most fervently, to relieve my suffering and consent to be my wife.”

03:19 - Best Ghost Ship

NiNi

Let's start with Best Ghost Ship and in my notes, in terms of describing the best ghost ship, I just have in all caps: SHOW US THE FOOTAGE YOU COWARDS. [laughs] Best Ghost Ship is awarding a ship that's not a canon ship—it's not really a ship, but it should have been. 

I'm gonna kick us off with my runner up here, and that's gonna go to Sam and Jim from GAP the series. 

[applause sound]

We all love Sam and Mon—yes, it was very great. It was a great time. Fantastic. But Jim, married and pregnant, and ready to risk it all if Sam just says, “Yeah, okay, we're doing this.” She'll be like, “What husband? What baby?” [laughs]

Jim, played by Looknam Orntara, and Sam, played by Freen Sarocha. I just thoroughly enjoyed that little runner of Jim just giving slight indications that, yeah, she would absolutely risk it all for Sam, up to and including after Sam not-so-accidentally slaps her at her birthday party. And she goes to Jim's house to make up with her, and she just starts kissing on her! Like, she kisses her cheek, and then she kisses her shoulder, and Jim's gettin’ a little thrill over there. And I'm just like, I would like to see it. 

So the runner up for Best Ghost Ship is going to be Sam and Jim from GAP the series. So who is our winner for the Best Ghost Ship, Ben?

Ben

They're maybe not even a ghost ship. They're probably just in the background. Our winner for this year goes to Bow and Kung from La Pluie. 

[fanfare sound]

Bow came on that trip with Saengtai on a mission, and she had a side objective. She was like, “I'm gonna get my boy off his ass and into bed with Patts properly. And also, I'm gonna fuck somebody on this trip.” 

Now, she had her sights set on one of the other vets when they started this out, and she was beefing with Kung at first thinking that girl was too extra, and she was pissing about with her. But by the end of that trip they’re hugging each other, crying together, holding hands, dancing together. As far as I'm concerned, it happened.

NiNi

It absolutely happened as far as I'm concerned. And, like, the funniest part of that is that when they get there, Kung is speaking in this really annoying voice and this really annoying style of talking. Bow just wants to strangle her the entire time she's doing that. She's doing this kind of—not a baby voice—but, like, this fake calm, very serene type of aura that she's giving off. 

And literally she shares a room with Bow, and the very next day she talkin’ different. [laughs] She and Bow holdin’ hands in the background. Listen, these two fucked nasty and you can't convince me otherwise.

Ben

They definitely did. We don't need to debate it.

NiNi

Congratulations, Bow and Kung, the winners of the Best Ghost Ship award.

07:11 - Best Friendship

NiNi

So we're going to move on to my favorite ship: Friendship. 

For me, friendship is where it's at when it comes to these stories. Yes, we all love the romantic relationships. They're all lovely and “ooh” we coo about it. But friendship and community, and especially queer friendship and community, are super, super important. I feel all rosy inside when I think about people building community and being friends and found family with each other. 

The runner up for best friendship: The Band Chinzhilla from My School President. 

[applause sound]

I call these boys a lovely bunch of coconuts, and I stand by it. These boys are super dumb. They're such losers, but they 1000% have each other's backs. Even when they fight, they can't maintain it for long. They fight, and then they cry it out, and they hug each other, and they go on. 

It reminded me, watching these boys, of what it was like to be young and have a group of friends, you just shooting the shit and just being nonsensical at all times. Getting in trouble together, looking out for each other. It made me feel warm and glowy inside, and that is why Chinzhilla is my runner up for Best Friendship. 

Ben, what does the Best Friendship category mean to you, and who are our winners for Best Friendship?

Ben

One of the most important things about a good romance is that the people who are going to be together, I think, have the kind of support network that you believe that they can make it. If you're gonna have a really effective long-term relationship to root for, people have got to have people who are in their corner who have their backs. And for me, I'm always going to be drawn to queer friendship in this award. I think last year we gave it to the Secret Crush on You quartet.

NiNi

Yes, we did.

Ben

This year we are giving it to Sailom and Yiwa from Wedding Plan. 

[fanfare sound]

And if you bitches thought I was done talking about this fucking show [laughs and then begins singsong] you got another thing comin’. 

[NiNi laughs]

I will continue to state plainly and clearly that Wedding Plan the series does not function without the relationship between these two. That is so rare to say in any sort of romantic drama. Sailom’s entire motivation is grounded in his loyalty to Yiwa, and freeing her from the confines of heteronormativity in her family. The reason he's lying, the reason he's playing all these games, the reason why he doesn't tell Nuea what maybe needs to be said is because he is loyal to his friend, and her safety is more important to him than his own happiness. 

These two have each other's back; they are the most ride-or-die. Sailom was prepared to sacrifice his own needs and desires to make sure that Yiwa and Marine were safe and sheltered. And when it was made abundantly clear that faking it with Lom was not going to suffice, Yiwa was like, “Fine, I'll be your villain.” She turns around and gives to Lom what he was trying to give her by becoming the villain in the story, by being the girl who left him at the altar to run off with some woman and go to England of all places. These two understand each other and they love each other in a way that defines the entire show. I don't know a better friendship.

NiNi

I have to concur. I get incredibly emotional thinking about that, because that's love. That's love in its purest form. 

So our winner of the 2023 VIIB Award for Best Friendship is Sailom and Yiwa from Wedding Plan. Plate in the mail.

12:10 - Best Side Ship

NiNi 

And now [rubs hands together] for the main event. Best Side Ship, our annual Battle Royale, even though this is only the 2nd Annual VIIB Awards, it's still annual. 

So last year, Ben and I could not come to an accord on side ship because we had two very different conceptions of what the purpose of a side ship is and how a side ship should operate in a show. 

Ben 

NiNi’s position was the best side ship for her is the pair that is so compelling that she would kind of like to see what the show looks like if we focus on them instead and make the mains sides for them. I work from the perspective of if we're gonna have a side ship, I like for them to have thematic resonance with the main ship. 

NiNi 

In the end, Ben convinced me and I bowed to his argument about side ships. 

Ben 

So our contenders this evening are: presented from NiNi, Tien and Lomfon from La Pluie. And presented by me, Marine and Yiwa from Wedding Plan. 

NiNi 

Ben you go first, tell us why Marine and Yiwa? 

Ben 

Wedding Plan is about the choice to present straight and do your own thing on the side. The difficulties that Lom and Nuea may face are made real by observing Marine and Yiwa. The two of them love each other, they’re having a great time, but they're under constant surveillance. People take pictures of them in public and send it to Yiwa’s mom and say “What's going on with her and her friend?” Yiwa's mom goes to Marine’s house and lays hands on her. We can see that Marine is suffering for being in the closet with Yiwa. She loves Yiwa. She's made her choice. She understands what she gave up and weighed it against what she's gained, and she chooses that. She allows us to consider what Namnuea may be giving up because he is a loved, self actualized gay man who has the total support of his entire network. What is he stepping into if he chooses to be with Lom? Marine and the relationship that she has with Yiwa helps us understand the relationship challenges Nuea is going to face if he chooses to be with a rich, closeted man. 

NiNi 

I'm going to make my argument for Tien and Lomfon. I've described La Pluie as being about an atheist, an apostate, an agnostic, and a true believer. Tien and Lomfon are the atheist and the true believer who have to come to an accord about what beliefs they're going to share. The thematic resonance of Tien and Lomfon working that out alongside Patts and Tai working out what they're gonna believe or not believe. I just liked watching the interplay of those two couples and how they contend with the soulmate connection tied to the rain deafness as an article of faith. Even though they don't drive narrative to the extent that Marine and Yiwa do, I think that they are critical to understanding where La Pluie wants you to land on this theme of soulmates, and they are the best side ship for that reason. 

Ben 

The argument I could make for them is that they give us an opportunity to look at a relationship forming in the conceits of this world without the pressures and expectations of rain deafness on their dynamic. The struggle I have with Lomfon and Tien is Lomfon turns to Tien’s feelings really late, and so it's difficult for me to connect with where Lomfon decided to start caring about Tien properly and looking at him. For Tien, I kind of get his attraction to Lomfon because he and Lomfon fight a bunch, and Tien clearly seems to get off on some of that, but I'm less certain when it comes to Lomfon because he's just so fucking dense for most of the show, and he's so fucking rude!

NiNi 

He is rude, but I don't think he's as dense as you'd say. He is picking up what's happening between him and Tien. He's just scrupulously ignoring it in favor of his headcanon, basically, that he is meant to be with Saengtai. I don't feel like Lomfon is confused so much as stubborn. 

Ben 

I don't think I was invested in the stakes of whether or not the two of them would make it. Like, I was totally okay with Tien not being with Lomfon. 

NiNi 

I was not! [laughs]

Okay, shallow reasons. 

Ben 

Okay. All right. 

NiNi 

Tien and Lomfon’s kiss is way better than Yiwa [laughs] and Marine’s.

Ben 

And now the truth comes out, besties. [both laugh] And here it is. 

NiNi 

We’re trying to find a point of separation so we can pick a winner. 

Ben 

The better kissers are clearly Suar and Copter. 

NiNi 

Suar put whole pussy in to that kiss. This is gonna be a rough one ‘cause I feel like neither of us is ready to capitulate. 

Ben 

I do think that both of these pairs have important thematic resonance with the core themes of both shows. I think we have to decide if we're gonna award the Wedding Plan pair for queer reasons or if we're gonna award the La Pluie pair for really strong romantic deconstruction themes. Because a big part of La Pluie was unpacking the expectation of romance itself. 

NiNi 

In that regard, then. Tien and Lomfon are not as deeply integrated into the mission of La Pluie as Marine and Yiwa are integrated into the mission of Wedding Plan. What Tien and Lomfon say about romance is not as much as what Marine and Yiwa say about performance of heteronormativity and the importance of queer family. 

Ben 

[sigh] Ah, man, difficult. 

NiNi 

It is difficult, but since this is a BL podcast, queer reasons do win out over romance reasons every time. So Tien and Lomfon are our runners up. I'm going to send them a koozie and a saucer because they deserve.

Ben 

[laughs] We gotta do a better job with the paraphernalia for these awards. 

NiNi 

The koozie just seems disrespectful, we gotta come up with something else. 

Ben 

It really does. 

NiNi 

There's, like, nothing distinguished about a koozie. 

Ben 

We're just gonna give them their own plate, there’ll just be different materials. 

NiNi 

Okay, that's fine. We can work with that. 

And the winner of the Best Side Ship plate is gonna be Yiwa and Marine from Wedding Plan. Congratulations, girls. 

Ben 

We can finally move past the side ship struggle we have every year. I really hope this is not a thing next year. I need everyone making BL to look into the camera right now. Don't put us through this again in 2024. [laughs] I want a clear winner going into this year. Get it together, everyone. 

NiNi 

I don't know. I kind of enjoy it [laughs].

21:10 - Best Main Ship

NiNi 

Moving on to our final award of this segment and that is the Best Main Ship. The criteria for awarding the best main ship: listen, the show is about them, do I buy their love story?

So the runner up for best main ship is Kawi and Pisaeng from Be My Favorite. [applause sound] I think I shocked myself, maybe, a little bit with this one. 

Ben 

You shocked yourself. You did not shock me. [laughs] I'm like, looking at this list—those two? Of course, okay. 

NiNi 

I feel like when it comes to a love story that really resonated with me, Be My Favorite was one of the high points. The way that it utilized its time travel conceit to build the love story, the way that it built the love story between Kawi and Pisaeng. Who Kawi is, who Pisaeng is, all the things that have happened to them and bring them together. And in terms of a ship, two characters whose love story I 100% buy just as it has been presented on screen, to me that was Kawi and Pisaeng. 

Ben 

With all the things you watched this year and the intense swooning you had for other couples this year, I'm curious that this was the couple you went to bat for when we had to hash this out. 

NiNi 

I surprised myself a little, too. 

Ben 

I was expecting like Yai and Jom as the ones you really wanted to go for. 

NiNi 

With everybody else, there's something. There's something that I felt was missing or there's something that I had to sort of reconstruct in my head as we went along. There's something that I probably wasn't 100% sold on. But when it came to these two, I really genuinely, in terms of how their story was portrayed, really, genuinely had no notes. If I had to point to, like, a specific thing, I would point to the back end of the show, and particularly that sequence of Pisaeng time traveling and how it flips their dynamic a little bit. The way that that was handled felt so honest to the characters as presented, showing how Kawi had grown, showing how Pisaeng had come to terms with himself, showing that they had settled into each other in a particular kind of way, like I believed that for the two of them this is it, no matter what. 

So who is the winner of our best main ship for 2023, Ben? 

Ben 

Our winner of Best Main Ship this year goes to Han Baram and Im Hantae from Sing My Crush. 

[fanfare sound]

What stands out for me with Im Hantae is he has to contend with, first, having to accept that the devotion that he's been pouring onto Han Baram for years was potentially mildly harmful to Han Baram because Han Baram had a crush on him the whole time. He has to recognize Han  Baram’s feelings and find a way to match that in himself. He has to also support Han Baram through a very difficult professional challenge that Han Baram keeps abandoning him during. And he gets mad at Han Baram in a way that is 100% justified. 

The boxing scene between the two of them is one of my favorite scenes of the year, and I think there's really something special about a couple who give each other permission to be angry sometimes. Particularly in a genre about men being with men, I think it is really important that we accept and understand that the fact that men get angry is not a character flaw or failing. I love the way the show made that simultaneously really physical, but also seemingly gentle. 

You can feel the whole time how important these two characters are to each other, and it is really rare in BL that friends to lovers is done at all, let alone well. As the moody gay of our duo, I'm gonna give it to friends to lovers almost any year when it's handled this well, because that, for me, in a lot of ways is the primary gay angst. Even if you grew up in ideal circumstances where people weren't being homophobic to you, statistically you're gonna like a lot of straight boys. And it's hard if you didn't know about queerness in yourself to suddenly have to respond to that and recognize that and accept that that's going to alter, maybe, the way you thought your life was gonna go. That's handled well in this show. I really like that for Im Hantae, what mattered most to him was his devotion to Han Baram, and I like that their relationship is constructed by the show as something mutually beneficial for both of them. 

NiNi 

And yes, that virtuous circle, that upward spiral that we talk about, that I think is part of the best couples. 

The winner of the Best Main Ship for 2023 is Han Baram and Im Hantae from Sing My Crush. Congratulations, boys! Plates are in the mail.

27:49 - Outro

Ben 

Look at Krist, getting a plate in 2023!

NiNi 

Good for him. Nobody saw that coming. Like, nobody. 

That is going to wrap us up on the Ships Ahoy! segment of the 2023 VIIB Awards. Next up tomorrow, again, if the editing has happened the way that it's supposed to—

Ben 

Stop qualifying, just say it. be brave, be bold about it: Tomorrow! 

NiNi 

Tomorrow. Okay, tomorrow we will be moving into our technical awards. Our Immortal Technique episode. So we're going to be awarding, as Ben said, all the people that you never get to see, but who make the shows what they are. 

We always love these awards. We get to get super nerdy and deep in the weeds. That's probably the episode that we looked forward to all of this year and we're going to read out a bunch of names of people that you've never heard of, so look forward to that. 

Until then, we out. Say bye to the people, Ben.

Ben

Peace!

The Famous Introduction Pinned Post

Hi, Hola! You have found the way!

Not any way tho. Me, Wey. You found me! Hola! Que pedo? Pásale a lo barrido 🧹

(2024 note: I need to update this)

That hooman that you see there. Si ese! That’s my sona. A pleasure to meet you. (Outfits change often lol) (Also! The formal clothes supposedly gives the hint that I work as a security guard on the game :v)

More about me: I’m a lazy simp artist. *bows with no shame* Yeah, that’s all of my self presentation :3

As you can see, I’m very much currently hyped with The Daycare Attendants. The scrunckly bois ❤️ I don’t have a specific way to draw the bot bois tho.

So in my blog you will find mostly reblogs of them than my own art. But I will try to share more of my doodles and ideas in the future. (Cuz can’t be considered an artist if I don’t do or share shid right? :v)

Besides being on the FNAF SB fandom I’m also interested in Welcome Home, The Arcana, MHA.

All my art is under #wey draws

My main OC’s are under #wiggles and giggles the clown twins (watch their very first Halloween experience #quick doodle , they are cosplaying as Skid and Pump!)

Here their reference sheet: (old reference btw, their shoes are bigger now etc)

Gremlins dressed up as clowns basically. My babies 💜 (they were born after i got hooked on the game of FNAF SB)

Facts about them:

Both of them are boys. So he/him pronouns to each

3’6ft

Small animatronics that love to entertain families with their clown acts in the Pizzaplex

Their pants have hidden pockets, stuffed with materials and items for their clown acts. Mostly balloons. (Their hats have stuff too)

On birthday parties they always end up covered in cake

Free to roam around where the public is. Need employee permission or escort to go to restricted areas

Often seen in the daycare where there is a lot of kids to play with. Sun doesn’t always enjoy their visit (such troublemakers sometimes)

At night, when the Pizzaplex closes they immediately go to the daycare. To play with Sun and accompany Moon in his patrols (Moon will never admit he appreciates the company)

They can’t be separated. It causes an extreme anxiety for both, especially if it’s forced

Twin telepathy. Normally knowing what the other thinks. Often saying stuff at the same time and finishing each other sentences

They rarely fight with each other

Both love the attention

None of them knows personal space

They either help or create chaos (Both? Excellent partners in crime)

Press their nose, it does honk noises. They also have a feature to make their shoes do funny sounds

Fart jokes (noises) are hilarious for them

They are indeed high intelligent AI’s but they have the knowledge of a child. Teach and treat them like a kid

Can handle a limited amount of water if they get wet. Preferably to avoid it

Their white eyes can turn black with red pupils when turned in security mode. It is only to intimidate intruders and potentially dangerous people. (Can act scary if their target doesn’t normalize)

They have no virus! But that doesn’t mean they can’t obtain it 👁️👁️

Facts of each clown:

Giggles (Gig):

Likes the color blue and sharks

Normally the one who makes troubles (nothing serious, just mischievous child behavior)

Loves to make people smile and laugh but also get in their nerves (depending the person and situation)

Wiggles (Wig):

Likes the color pink and bunnies

The more responsible one of the two but still gets involved in troubles

Loves to make people have fun (specially if it’s done by his clown acts)

In the future I would like to share some ideas of AU’s I have in mind (idk if they are good enough lol) but for now my goal is to finish art projects that are meant for many friends and awesome artists.

—————————————————

AU’S Que Hice!

Ahoy! Mateys (AU mermay) - The journey of a high spirit kid named Y/N!

Dreaming of becoming a pirate one day!

Sailing the ocean in search of grand treasures and fun adventures with the unbelievable help of two sirens, their best friends!

Who and which said sea creatures seem conflicted with their actions and feelings when it comes to Y/N.

(non-romance just to clarify)

As it’s very known that these two species can never get along.

Will their friendship overcome the stereotypes?

Jump aboard and find out!

—————————————————

My social skills are terrible very good. I have a messed up social battery, it comes and goes. So is very common to find me active some days and then gone for some weeks (months). But frens, moots feel free to reach me anytime. Bother me. Tag me. Be random. Quick chat or a question. I’m okay with all that. I also like it, feels like I’m not forgotten (I’m not the greatest to initiate the conversation but I will totally respond to whatever I get included on 🫂💞)

As for strangers, people who follows me. (Actual real people and not bots lol) Feel free to send asks. Just don’t expect a genius answer from my part heh. Remain respectful, and yup :)

Thank you for your time and attention until the end if you got this far. *hugs ya and gifts ya a real Mexican taco 🌮* Have a nice day/night! Te quiero güey ❤️

[steddiesrobin]

bff stobin x 90210 headcanons

it’s officially 1990, robin and steve are flipping through the five channels that they have and stumble upon the premiere of “Beverly Hills, 90210”

they watch the two part premiere and actually love it??

it’s nice to watch high schooler’s live a life that doesn’t include fighting monsters and simply be teenagers

robin and steve are both hardcore simping for kelly taylor.

steve hates steve. so much. every time steve sanders opens his mouth, steve (harrington) just yells “BOOOOO!!!!”

robin does the same

robin is convinced that there is something going on between brenda and kelly (she’s just like me fr)

episode four absolutely alters steve’s brain when luke perry as dylan mckay comes on screen

“rob… you can have kelly”

after episode four, it officially became routine that every wednesday the two would watch the new episodes

they could only watch the episodes with each other

on one of their 90210 nights, eddie is over, and he’s complaining that he doesn’t want to watch the “stupid rich kid soap opera”

but it’s very important to both steve and robin that they watch the episode

so eddie finally agrees

he ends up getting sucked in very quickly

“who is that? do we like her? why do we hate him? why are they doing that?”

eddie goes home that night and watches all the previous episodes

on halloween that year, steve, robin, eddie, and nancy decide to be the core four of 90210

robin as brenda, steve as brandon, nancy as kelly, and eddie as dylan

robin is a blushing, flustered, mess when she sees nancy in a blonde wig. it also doesn’t help that robin very much ships brenda and kelly

they all giggle at robin and eddie being brenda and dylan bc they’re the furthest thing from the relationship b & d have

steve and robin cry at brenda’s departure at the end of season four

a new crush unlocks for the both of them when tiffani amber thiessen as valerie malone is on the screen during the season 5 premiere

with the two of them getting older and having “real adult lives”, it’s harder to get the time to watch the new episodes when they air at night

there’s a new episode airing one night where steve couldn’t get that night off with robin

steve confirmed it would be okay to watch without him, but robin didn’t want to. she invited nancy over and they decided to watch it anyways because the cliffhanger from the past episode had them on edge

during this episode there was some type of message about not betraying your friends, which lead to robin having a breakdown. she called steve immediately.

“rob, it’s fine. i promise i’m okay with it– yes i know we always watch it with each other but i swear it is okay that you did without me.”

a few years later, it’s 1998 and season 8 is airing. steve is kind of over the show, so many plot lines and episodes it’s getting overwhelming. it’s also been eight years.

robin is still very hyper-fixated on 90210

but season 8 is WILD and steve gets hooked and refuses to miss ANY episodes (and almost gets fired from his job for taking nights off)

(spoilers if anyone hasn’t seen the show & is interested) with season 8 having plots of kelly getting shot, revealing valerie killed her father, and brandon & kelly almost* get married was quite insane. but one episode triggers something in them

there’s an episode where donna is being held hostage and threatened to be killed, which gives both steve and robin a bit of a ptsd attack; thinking back to the russians at scoops ahoy. this is what opens steve’s eyes as to why robin is still so attached to this show, it was to help her escape the trauma that they both went through years prior. steve had thought she’d move on, but seeing a character they’d both grown fond of and having been in that same situation, it was hard to watch.

skipping info abt season 9 and most of 10 due to the fact i barely remember those seasons (cuz they kinda sucked ngl), steve and robin make a whole event for the series finale in year 2000

the party is at robin and nancy’s place, since steve and eddie have gotten their own place (they live next door to each other.) the fruity four get decide to wear their 90210 fruity four halloween costumes from years prior, along with telling everyone else they invite to come in costume

(spoilers again) after 10 years of the show, this is an emotional night. everyone is spending their night watching donna martin and david silver finally get married. seeing characters that have left the show comeback for the finale made the night even more emotional.

seeing nat walk donna down the aisle made steve hardcore sob. like. his eyes were red and puffy.

the sobbing doesn’t stop when donna and david say their vows and tell each other “i do.” which leads to eddie getting down on one knee and proposing

steve truly cannot take anymore crying.

he says yes, obviously.

getting back to the episode, dylan and kelly are back together which comes to everyone yelling out “BOOOOO!” bc they’re dylan/kelly anti’s

the finale comes to an end and everyone is a jumble of emotions.

steve realizes that robin is crying. “rob, what’s wrong?” he asks her. “it’s just…” she starts, “i can’t believe it’s over. this made us closer than ever, i loved spending my 90210 nights with you, and with it being over and you now getting married… i don’t want to lose my best friend.” steve softly chuckles, “you’re not gonna lose me, rob. i’ll always be your best friend. i also live right next to you, if anything you’ll be begging to get rid of me.”

and that’s their night.

Human AU — A Quick Summary

Quick overview of all the fizzies as humans ♥︎ Enjoy!

Also long post ahoy!

✒ THIZZY >> FUMIHIRO

Cis Male // 29 yrs // Therapist

Fumihiro works as a therapist and is not doing... that great money wise. College absolutely ruined him, his family often wants him to help them fund their own projects, and he's terrible at saying no. He takes on more work than he's capable of, and he often works for free. He complains, but he just needs to grow a spine. Life IS pretty ridiculously unfair, though... and it doesn't help that his roommate Corwin is so overbearing and suffocating either.

✚ DOC >> CORWIN

Demiboy [amab] // 28 yrs // Dentist

Corwin is Fumihiro's childhood friend and has always been an outcast. With a morbid interest in teeth, blood and gore, he was also struggling with depression and unhealthy coping behaviour. He's obnoxious, is unabashedly himself, and he's got crazy ADHD... but also RSD. And he's so lonely... he craves intimacy something fierce, and he Clings to Fumihiro as the only person who ever gave him a genuine chance. He gets his fix at the bar several times a week where he hooks up with whoever wants to give him a try, but nothing ever goes anywhere... Why won't anybody just love him already?

დ MIZZY >> MINNIE

Trans Woman // 26 yrs // Online Personality

Minnie is a weeb and an amazing cosplayer, streamer, and she spends a lot of her time online making silly videos for people who simp for her. She doesn't mind, it pays the bills, and her OnlyFans is doing good, thank you guys!! During the day she works as a server at a local cafe that does dress ups at times (the maid outfits are her favourite). Minnie is a sweetheart, but a bit of a doormat... having came out of a physically and emotionally abusive relationship not too long ago, she's still working on loving herself. She's still recovering, doing her very best...

☽ GINGER >> SABRINA

Genderfluid [amab] // 25 yrs // Babysitter

Younger sister to Pinwheel/Luca, and can't stand him. She felt abandoned by her only remaining family member when he was becoming a chore to look after, when his substance abuse and illegal activities only increased and escalated.. So she ended up moving out. He now works as a babysitter, it's rough and the family takes advantage of her charity, but it's nice to feel... needed. To be a part of a family. She has a lot of spice, but below the sour exterior, she's got a big heart.

♠︎ MORTIS >> MORDECAI

Cis Male // 51 yrs // Funeral Director & Mortician & Coffin Maker [hobby]

Mordecai has been pretty rooted in place for the last 51 years... Growing up in Oklahoma, he eventually moved to eastern California where he set up a funeral home and a stable. Death wasn't really fascinating to him... but rather, he had seen it happen many times in his life, and found that the end of a life... had to have meant something, for those left behind. He wanted to lift the spirits of those who remained, and celebrate the life that had burned so bright, and either suddenly been snuffed out, or slowly dimmed down. He wanted to make the funeral peaceful. The passing natural. The communication between the dead and the living easier. So he started his business.

Moving to New York, he did so to keep a family member company during her final years before sickness takes her life, setting up a new business in the city to keep on doing what he was always doing... but city life is quite different from the mountain ranges of Oklahoma or endless deserts of California.

$ THE MANAGER >> NOEL, second name GURUMARRA

Trans Man // 36 yrs // Business Owner etc... Manager of Loo Loo Park

Noel is an entrepenur and a visionary. Starting off at the bottom of the barrel like so many of us, he figured out how to work the system from a young age, always having a nose for business, and a feeling for when to strike. What opportunities were lucrative and which ones were a waste. Quickly, he went from a simple office rat to team leader, boss, CEO, and now he manages more businesses than you can count on one hand.

His current "project" is the Loo Loo Park (alternate version of Luna Park) in NYC, and while he sits comfortably in Manhattan, he makes bank without much effort anymore. Noel is smug, careful in his wording, and will come across as quite lighthearted if you don't know any better. He's always five steps ahead, but his confidence in his own ability can also become his biggest weakness. Oh yeah also he's Pinwheel's boss/blackmailer. He's got a collaboration going on with Mammon to use Fizzarolli's likeness and sell his merchandise.

⚙ FF-8842 >> Nergüi

Agender [intersex] // 21 yrs // College Student

A young student at one of the many colleges across New York, currently studying robotics in hopes of becoming... something. They feel so in tune with these machines, at times it feels like they're also running on a program, that they don't actually know what they're actually Meant to do except for making these things work... like life has no meaning. Are they only doing this because their parents wants them to? Because they think robotics are the future? Because they know better and this is what's best for them? Do they even have a mind of their own..? Or are they exaggerating? Should they just settle... they don't know. Time to dissociate.

¿ IMPOSTER

No gender // A few years old // Clown Robot

Android Noel has placed in the park to play the role of a pierrot-themed mascot. It has some other dubious functions as well...

[missmugiwara]

thank you for blessing my feed with astarion... he's the handsomest i swear

OMG LIV 💘 HIIIIII I must do better to talk to you!

Haha, my pleasure! 😘 He's too handsome!

I MEAN HOW CAN I NOT BLESS THE FEED???? LOOK AT HIM 💘💘💘 I'll be posting more of him for sure because I am so down bad completely and utterly and hopelessly normal about him 🥵

[snowangeldotmp3]

Listen I know that it’s been established in the rr:stud that Robin is going to work at scoops but I kinda want some more of Nancy being a sImP towards robin so what if she was a lifeguard part time along with working part time at scoops or just a lifeguard.

Like the party decides they want to go to the pool and Nancy agrees to drive them (bribed with the chance of seeing Robin) and just admires buff robin in her swimsuit with her sunglasses who is sitting in the lifeguard tower watching the people in the pool.

But also having Robin who is completely on edge around Billy who is sending off her upside down senses but can’t do much about that because the russians distract them and she misses her shift at work along with Billy and Heather worrying the others.

anon very bold of you to assume that nancy is not thirsting over robin in that scoops ahoy uniform, because she most definitely is.

but actually i'm obsessed with the idea of robin working at the hawkins community pool in like a s3 au. mostly so can nancy gawk at a toned robin (which mike and max WILL tease her about later). max mentions something about it to nancy and nancy's like "you're walking home, mayfield." max's face is just ':0!'

i think robin would actually quit once she found out that billy also starts working at the pool, because fuck that guy, and then she goes to steve at scoops ahoy and starts working there and then BAM season 3 mostly back into the regular flow of canon.

but i do think that her upside down senses would start tingling like will's does in the movie theater in ep 1 of s3. and then obviously later will and robin are like, "did u..." "yeah, i felt it too, i think he's back."

obviously since they have no proof they can't really alert the others, but i think robin would remain very on edge for the rest of the season.

[deltaruminations]

hello i'm a gay adult and i love delta's rune!!!! i'm kind of an incorrigible lore guy at heart but i also like nice art and shitposts. also i guess i just post a lot about gaster now unfortunately

check out my gastor playlisdt… if u want…..

this is a sideblog, comments from @generative-adversarial-nitwit are me :) tag reference:

$ Speculation Station

theory, analysis, and readings by others addressing general UTDR topics. this can include any ideas or opinions that i find valuable, regardless of the degree to which i specifically agree with them. i have a certain affinity for any perspectives that engage with lore in thoughtful and meaningful ways

$ Chad’s Farts (Fanarts)

dumb pictures i drew lol

$ Chadley Deltaruminations Original Lorepost Corner

my own theory, analysis, and/or readings. i try to reserve this for posts that i think others might actually find valuable. if a post has this tag, it means it's a sincere opinion, even if it sounds stupid as hell

$ 666 Mystery Man Lore Hell

a catalogue of my descent into Gaster Simp Madness. includes sincere opinions (overlapping with previous tag), shitposts, and also sincere opinions disguised as shitposts. this tag largely exists because i think it funne but also to draw a distinction between actual lore exploration and goofy fanfiction Bull’s Shit (see next tag)

(addendum: $ 420 Non Gaster Lore Hell is a more generalized version of the above)

$ Wingdings the Boy (deprecated)

posts that explore the single most important question in all of UTDR: what if WD Gaster was a teenager who went to high school and made friends and it was cute. this headcanon space or whatever is informed by some genuine lore opinions but is not representative of them lol

$ Fault Lines

sort of an evolution of the previous tag that takes itself a little more seriously (unfortunately). Teen Gaster Bullshit Ahoy. kind of a vehicle for embarrassingly sincere dess/gaster content. sorry

$ Waltz of a Shattered Man

secondary gaster analysis tag because i guess im just that much of a fucking Gaster Guy (the worst kind of theory guy) now lol. this is meant to collect opinionated character analysis in particular moreso than lore/story stuff, but could overlap with 666 Mystery Man Lore Hell. these are also sincere opinions unfortunately
