I know some people were caught off guard by Q!Cellbit's big reveal, but just a friendly reminder that he's not the only genius among the Brazilians, those guys ar ALL incredibly smart, it just doesn't seem like it because they're also huge dumbasses (affectionate).
QSMP spoilers below (tho they're more my reading of events than 100% facts and I'm really biased)
Forever knows Cellbit's whole federation loving bullshit is a con, he knew from day one, he can't prove it, but he mentioned it as a likely possibility multiple times, he's not mad at Cellbit for joining the federation, he's mad at Cellbit because he's being a jerk about it and threatening to change Richarlyson's custody agreement, he knows it's a con, but he's smart enough to be prepared for the off chance it isn't, and even when the truth gets revealed it doesn't mean all the hurtful things Cellbit said will be forgiven.
I'll be honest I don't watch Tazercraft that often, but on the first five minutes I tapped into their streams I heard Mike saying that this all must be a plan, them and Cellbit go way back, and while part of it might be wishful thinking they know this is not Cellbit the conspiracy maniac who was completely against the federation, they know there must be something else there, they considered the possibility of him going crazy, but they're also considering the idea of it all being planned.
Cellbit thinks he fooled everyone, but his friends saw through him almost immediately, they're pissed at him not because of the betrayal, but because he's being a jerk, they don't trust him enough to be certain of the whole infiltration plan, they're definitely wary of him, but it's less because they think he's a threat and more because they're afraid that whatever plan he has might backfire badly and he decided to bet on too high stakes in line without letting anyone else in.

thinking about my oc Jack and about how he went from having amazing success and happiness to world-shattering failure, then to a terrible, corrupt triumph. but ever since then he slowly, slowly fell to this strange flatline of being somewhere between life and death and feeling everything and yet nothing at all. people who know him from years ago got to see him at the peak of his terrible, corrupt triumph, but he's morphed into a much different man and it's strange to see this little character in my head go through this kind of metamorphosis over the years like wow character development in real time

Blade compared the relief from pain death brought him to the moments spent with his friends drinking together.
His desire for death as both a release from pain and from the condition of existence in which he finds himself now, so similar to that which he most hated (hated so much as to dedicate his entire life and self to fight, up to the point of crossing unthinkable barriers for shortlife species); but death also almost like a returning to the time that was, the joy and pride it brought him, and the friends and self he lost
#I have my qualms with this quest. I have them#But man. Man. I love him#They didn't have to make him such a good character. It could have gone wrong so easily with what they were doing#But I do love him very much#Yingxing the arrogant man the bashful teen and the stuttering kid. But haughty and determined and defiant at every stage#How smart and skilled and proud. How ambitious and revengeful too#I was going to talk about Jingliu and Dan Feng but I won't haha I may do later on#I don't know... I feel my chest so warm and so cold at the same time. I guess it's the fondness and the grief haha#I'm rambling though and I actually want to find this idea#Fragments and scraps#Yingxing#Blade#I've been told I can set the blog to private and that way I won't have the problem of throwing my posts in the general tag unwillingly#There's only one post I've wanted people to interact with and to this day no one has answered my question anyway#So I should consider that. It may be the best choice before half the HSR blogs block me for being annoying#I want to he able to find art and gifs haha#When I say 'life and self' I mean that not only did he dedicate his entire life to it on a temporal dimension#but he forged himself initially for this goal. Everything he was able to achieve he did by means of the skills he developed for this end#And that is what gave him the chance to craft a position for himself in the Xianzhou culture that looks down on shortlife species#His position as Huaiyan's apprentice‚ as a craftsman of the Zhuming‚ the Furnace Master‚ a legendary blacksmith and a hero‚#and thus even I imagine his position as a civilian human man living in the Xianzhou without being looked down‚ all comes from that goal#With all that weighting on the matter the fact that he became that which he hated and lost his ability to craft#because of the chance to bring someone back from the death becomes even more poignant especially if we take Baiheng to be#the condition of possibility of that being he crafted taking place‚ due to little Yingxing not losing his drive and hope#And Jingliu asked them why they committed such a sin. He doesn't know what to say and knows she doesn't care#'I longed to be able to accept it‚ and I do not say I have not tried'‚ from Ovid. As Hozier puts it‚ 'the choiceless hope in grief'#I'm running out of space but I adore that these three people unmade themselves because of this. I think in Dan Feng's case there's also#a longing for a making in the unmaking process‚ that breaking free from the High Elder cycle that so tormented him and robbed him#from himself. The parallels both in similarities and oppositions between Jingliu‚ Blade (or Yingxing) and Dan Feng are so good#But I've run out of space and I wanted to save my thoughts on that somewhere else anyway. The Jingliu/Blade/Jing Yuan/Yanqing ones too

:|| finished crafting for the night—
I figured out that in order to get better gear you have to get scripts and to get scripts you have to make special items so I honed in on the easiest item ingredients wise which is rarefield lemonade made that which at its yield, yields over 100 scripts but here is the kicker. You have to play the little mini balance game and not have durability not run out while good quality.
Lays down.

oh no (cringefail loser guy who knows some stuff about dangerous magic is now offering to help the person who literally tried to end the world unknowingly and they haven't had many interactions before and both on their own are pretty easy to deal with/not that dangerous but together it's probably going to be disastrous)

this may be hard to answer because we don’t actually know the characters too well yet, but what do you think vox and val actually *love* about eachother? it seems like it’s more than just sex between them, and i’m curious to know what you think their relationship is like outside the toxic or sexual parts
Anon, to me it is not hard to answer at all, I think about it constantly 🩵❤️ of course all I write is based mostly on my headcanons and interpretations.
Tumblr media
So... What Vox loves about Valentino? First and foremost, he makes him feel free. Vox is very self-conscious; he has a lot of internalized shame that he tries to cover with his grandiosity and fake smile. Valentino is unapologetically himself, and no matter how annoying it can be, Vox admires it. He's like the least judgmental person, and except for his temper tantrums, he's quite chill. Vox can't handle something? Val doesn't care; he still thinks his boyfriend is smart and will figure shit out eventually. Vox discovers he's into some weird, socially unacceptable kink? Great, they can try it. Vox rambles for hours about sharks? Good, he has a passion; Valentino likes people with passion, he will listen, he likes his voice anyway. Vox, who has spent his whole life crafting this perfect narrative about himself, cherishes the opportunity to feel comfortable enough with other people (a lot of these things apply also to his friendship with Velvette) to act like an absolute idiot around them.
Tumblr media
Also, I think Valentino can be a really amazing boyfriend - he can be funny, charming, and mindful of the other person. That's his whole thing; he deals with desires, and that's why people get addicted to him so quickly. In most cases, it inevitably ends with him taking absolute control over the other person and becoming abusive. But Vox is his partner, so he gets just those nice bits because Valentino knows he wouldn't be able to put him down like he did with Angel. Not that he'd want to; he likes having a partner who's equal to him, whom he can break only if he allows him to do so (yes, my reading of them is very BDSM-ish, don't @ me). Valentino wants to be loved, he loves the idea of love, surrounds himself with hearts but at the same refuses to adjust to societal norms in the way that makes him unlovable; every person he ever loved (in his mind, his obsessive desire equals love) rejected him eventually after he revealed his true nature to them. But not Vox. Vox accepts him as broken as he is, and despite all his toxicity, Vox is reliable, he's the most stable part of Valentino's life. He has the patience to deal with his mood swings, he can always find the solution when Val messes something up, he's willing to accept all the attention Valentino wants to give him, and he supports his passions (ruining lives, making weird porn and abusing people).
Tumblr media
Essentially, their love is largely about finally finding the other person who is as bad as you are, who accepts you no matter what and helps you grow (become an even worse person).
And some additional things:
Valentino really likes how smart Vox is. He himself is impulsive and acts instantly on his urges because violence is always an answer so he's kinda impressed when Vox presents him with some elaborate plots.
Vox loves Valentino's creativity, aesthetic, and attention to detail. He really likes nice things, but he lacks the ability to understand the nuance that is necessary for creating art.
They both enjoy each other's sense of humor.
Vox really likes that Valentino is kinda dumb? He can take care of him, and he likes taking care of people because it allows him to prove himself as The Best Boyfriend. He doesn't necessarily gets the idea of unconditional love, so the fact that he has an opportunity to earn it makes him feel more secure in their relationship. That's also why he loves spoling Valentino with gifts which is perfect because Valentino loves being spoiled.
Valentino likes being a little silly when he's with Vox. At work he can't manage people with his competence, so he does it with fear. But yelling and throwing people around is exhausting; he sometimes wants to bedazzle his gun while watching some trashy reality TV and bitching about his hard day at work. It's okay because Vox is also a little silly.
Valentino generally helps Vox live life more. He helped him come out of the closet (in my headcanon Vox for his whole life struggled with internalized biphobia); shows him that emotions other than anger are acceptable and don't mean weakness; even small things like always insisting on getting nice meals (while Vox could live his whole life on black coffee and rice) or decorating their apartment with fancy yet useless stuff.
They're both power-crazy maniacs, so the idea of being with someone who is widely desired by others and could destroy them if they wished is just so incredibly hot.
Vox | Valentino | What they hate about each other

Things Haikyuu Boys would do in a relationship (pt. 4)
-Ushijima, Tsukishima, Oikawa, Bokuto, Osamu
Part 1: Sakusa, Kita, Asahi, Hinata, Tendo
Part 2: Nishinoya, Iwaizumi, Suna, Kuroo, Yaku
Part 3: Kenma, Kageyama, Terushima, Akaashi, Atsumu
⋆。 ゚☁︎。 ⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。 ⋆
Ushijima Wakatoshi: Helping you put a necklace on
Wakatoshi likes to spoil his girlfriend, especially on your birthday. Right now you are struggling to put on the beautiful necklace that he gifted you, special to you because of the engraving on the back. “Toshi can you help me?” you ask him and his hands are immediately on your neck, closing the necklace around it. He is looking at you in the mirror while letting his hands linger a little longer than necessary on your nape before putting your hair back in place and stretching out his hand to take you to the dinner reservation he made to celebrate your special day.
Tsukishima Kei: Deep convos about random shit
Normally he doesn’t talk that much and especially not over something so seemingly unimportant but with you he is conversing without any snarky remarks or hesitation. Kei could talk for days about the deeper meaning of a recent book you two happen to have read, a theory regarding his most beloved fossils or everything else that’s running through his head. You always admire his way of thinking and you are happy each time he gives you insight on what’s happening in this smart head of his. The way you are listening and talking to him never fails to make him want to shut up again and just kiss you, after all he is better at showing his emotions through actions than words.
Oikawa Tooru: Having a special song
It was the song that was playing in the small copy shop where you were waiting to receive your printed pictures when you met Tooru. He wanted to print out some pictures to craft a photo album for his nephew when he noticed you humming the melody of the song absently. On your third date in a mini golf arena the song started playing again and since then it’s been the song to which you have the best memories. If he ever gets the chance to marry you, he wants this song to play during your first dance.
Bokuto Koutaro: Randomly looking at each other and saying, “I love you so much”
Currently you were suffocated with the weight of your boyfriend who was laying on top of you but you wouldn’t be able to catch a breath anyway because suddenly he told you that he loved you. That was the first time he told you and you weren’t able to say it back until he moved to look at you because you’ve been silent for too long. After that it happened at the weirdest times. For example, when Kou asked you which type of rice to bring or when he walked in on you sitting on the toilet or even in front of all of his team when you came to watch the MSBY team practice. After hearing it some more in unexpected situations you even started to learn to say it back to him in time.
Miya Osamu: Hugging the back of them and putting your face on their shoulder
There is no better feeling after a long exhausting day than coming home to find Samu standing in front of the stove working on some meal for you to eat. You make your way into the kitchen and collapse against his broad back while leaning your face on his shoulder, humming in appreciation. You follow him around the kitchen like this until he leads you to the table and places a plate of incredibly good smelling food in front of you and him. Over dinner you ramble to him about your day during which he reminds you with a soft smile to eat before the food gets cold. After the dinner you two spend the rest of the evening cuddling on the sofa, both enjoying the soothing warmth of each other’s bodies.

How the Arcane Characters would react to a smart!s/o
a/n: hey guys so yeah.. i am backkk. love you all and pls request or talk to me if you want <3 don't be shy!!
Contains: Viktor, Vi, Ekko, Silco, Jinx
Disclaimer: Okay so i know people can be smart without reading books- but reading online articles or there are different reasons BUT there is no "world wide web" in the Arcane Universe. That is why the reader's a massive bookworm-kinda-smart person (?)
warnings: itsy bitsy teenie tiny mention of mature themes (turn on; feral) but NO further description; mentions of kissing (?), goofy Jinx (like what did you expect T-T) not proof read
let me know if i missed any warnings!!
Tumblr media
Viktor
LOVES IT
like really he would be so thrilled to have a smart partner
would constantely go to the library with you- buying old science books or books about stuff that you like to read.
^ he never lets you buy them tho <3
Asks you when there are some issues with his work.. like this is such an honour (my bby has some issues when it comes to asking for help)
Viktor would always and I mean ALWAYS compliment you
-"look at my smart darling"
He just feels understood and so comfortable with you as you are on the same wavelenght as him

Gift for @single-eutanasia
Tumblr media
Don't gotta tell me twice‼️‼️ on it boss‼️
Young Fiddleford x reader
Tumblr media
I do think it would be interesting. To be a new citizen at gravity falls and quickly growing a connection to the nerdy looking country man that got a hold of your heartstrings. He was funny, relativelly charismatic (it may just be you alone standing on that hill- he's.. passionate let's say. I wouldn't call it charismatic by any stretch of the imagination), shy in a way that made flirting with him absolutely delightful, and, most of all, incredibly smart. What was there not to love?
Though things got weird when you questioned why he was often gone for long periods of time on certain days of the week- it would be a perfectly reasonable response to say that he is simply working on his research, crafting something- something more prone to exploding, which he wouldn't want you to be around, thus explaining away your concerns for him. But he can see the pain in your eyes. He may be shy but he's by no means oblivious: he knows you've been through things you'd rather never have gone through. Everyone has.
And who is he to deny you the peace of mind you so clearly deserve?
So he comes somewhat clean; tells you all about how he invented something truly revolutionary, how it could change lives in seconds, improve things years of work wouldn't come close to doing, how it's saved his life much more than once, and how it's been by far his best creation.
A memory wiper.
You were taken off guard, though you let him continue: he tells you about how he knows you've been through so very much, how he knows you could reach your full potential if you weren't held back by your past experiences, he holds your hand as he rambles on and on about how wonderful you are, how much better your life would be if you gave his invention a chance, how happy you both could be, you with your new, more capable mind, and him, with the peace of mind of knowing that you felt safer than you ever felt before.
It was a tempting offer.
You allow him to take you to one of his meetings: a cult, clearly, but you wouldn't tell him that. He was much to excited to have your trust. If you didn't want to have your traumas wiped away, he'd simply delete the memory of the whole encounter off your mind, and everything could go back to normal.
Though things didn't go as he'd planned, they don't tend to go his way in most occasions.
He felt deeply comforted by having your belief in him- you were the only person he truly considered himself to be close to that never hurt him in any way, you were someone he could rely on for any of his social needs, and, you were someone he was immensely attracted to, despite how immoral it felt to be that way, even moreso to admit to it.
Everything about you got to him, really. Your glances at him, your hands on his, your care for his wants, your hugs, your smell, your sleeping face-- gods how he loved to have you on top of him, even if he knew (thought) you'd never do it while fully conscious.
And that brings us to his fantasies, which are just as frequent as your encounters. The kisses you'd never shared, the intimate touches he could only ever crave. It all led him to be head over heels for you, lost completly in all that is you.
And to know he was going to bring you the peace of mind of not even knowing of the horrors of this world that you'd seen? It brought him pride, joy, butterflies to his stomach. He was going to make you truly happy.
He didn't think he'd be the one with his brain emptied by the end of the night, he never thought it possible. But his fantasies were brought to life! Everything he'd ever wanted: your approval, your sweet words, your appreciation, your trust, your touch, your love. All given to him on a silver platter. All he had to do was make a choice.
Throw away his morals, do everything he's been yearning for so desperately, ignore his family back at home. You didn't want him to forget about his family, no, you wanted him to live with the fact he'd betrayed their trust to have yours. That you were worth more to him than the woman he's had children with.
How he was brought to this predicament he knows all too well: you caught him as he spiraled down a rabbit hole of increasingly sick thoughts about you and him, saw him in his most vulnerable state, nearly cowering before you as he begged for your forgiveness and attempted to hide how hard he was, all for you.
Your sickeningly sweet tone betrayed your offer, it was worded virtually in the same way as his offer to you. Live his best life, do everything he's been holding himself back from doing, you know he's been through a lot, a lot you didn't want him to bother himself with: ditch the ring, have his dreams.
And he couldn't deny you, he was most definetly not god's strongest soldier when it came to matters regarding you.
And he let you ruin him- defile him, do as you pleased with him: and he begged you to not erase your memory of this. To not erase his, even. He needed to remember this. He needed you to remember it, he wanted to commit every single detail about the night to memory and never have it go away. Oh how he held onto you like you were his only tether to reality.
And this scenario of him begging for you to keep your memory of this repeated itself for every other time he needed you. And let me tell you, you'd come to hear his desperate sounding voice as he pleaded with you much more often than you'd expect.

Prompt 2: Holy Water (water blessed by a priest and used in religious ceremonies)
The Seraph Azrael, angel of Death and darkness, blessing the first batch of holy water.
(Further lore and rambling below the cut)
It's been quite a journey since last angeltober (tysm @sancta-seraphina), and while Azrael's appearance hasn't changed much, their role and character has grown significantly since I conceptualized them. It's been really fun thinking up their place in everything, maybe they'll get a spin-off one day.
Lucifer and Azrael are twins in my lore, and like any normal person, I decided to give them inverse roles. Lucifer, light-bringer, keeper of the sun, land, and bestower of breath. Azrael, night-bringer, keeper of the moon, tides, and separator of souls. Yada yada yada, y'all are smart you get the picture. They worked together flawlessly, two halves of one whole, keeping the celestial spheres spinning... And Then The Fall Happened. Lucifer and his followers were cut off from God's light and cast into eternal darkness, while Azrael and the rest of the choirs were left mourning the loss of their family.
And yet, even after Lucifer's rebellion, their bond is never truly broken. As Lucifer was toiling away in the newly created Hell, bringing light back to the Fallen, Azrael was crafting something to heal the shattered heavenly host. As the first spark of hellfire flared, so too did the first drop of holy water. One cannot exist without the other, each will bring unimaginable pain to their counterpart, while providing hope and healing for the creator and their allies.
Tldr: Close Enough, welcome back Princess Celestia and Princess Luna
First day, second prompt, see y'all tomorrow with "Hellmouth"
