[feddy-34]

rpf monday i totally forgor what other ships do you like!! on the niners and others :D and what do you hc differently in a/b/o fred x brock vs regular canon? sorry if that makes no sense lol

oh my gyatt okay some of these (most) are based on absolutely nothing lmao just keep that in mine but here are some of my favs

jj/koc for SURE they r freaky abt each other banging on the reg, like have you seen the way jj looks at kevin? or the way koc talks abt jj?

pq/zay baby, we only got one season of them together and like literally two interactions lmaoooooooo just look at them ok anyway

listen. there is so much indecipherable lore behind this but demeco ryans and his tiny wide receiver tank dell like meco's bicep is the size of his goddamn head what the actual fuck

i miss wilson^2 soooooo much lowkey wish zach was still on the jets partially for narratives + partially bc it would b funny lol

deebo and christian......... yeah....................

these are just some of the other ships i like, definitely not all of them LOL i dont think i would be able to fit all those into one post

as for your other ask one thing i think is different with regular fred/brock vs omegaverse is their view on kids. like in omegaverse theyre having 80039304930303033 children but irl i dont think they would have any (ignoring that fred literally just had a baby LOL) theyre just cat dads. i also think both of them would be much much more private irl yk cuz you dont have the scenting, claiming, mating dynamics that are present in omegaverse so i actually dont think they would PDA very much. at most hold hands walking into a game, they save the real stuff for at home

[hostilemuppet]

I know it's been a while since you've talked abt mouthwashing but it really is driving me crazy seeing people reblog their little cutesy aus of the game. like I mean whatever in the end I can just block and ignore but it's funny bc it's like. you guys are basing this stuff on nothinggg wdym "reverse personality au" what personalities do they all have. you just assumed personality traits for them. and there's a racism problem (as always) with everyone infantilizing daisuke bc he's an asian man like yeah he's the youngest but. even if he's 18 years old exactly (I assumed 20/21 personally), he's not the little baby child everyone seems to want to act like he is. going back to the personality traits thing lol some people seriously seem to think that sexual assaulter is like. jimmy's personality and not something horrible he chose to do bc they need a villain and they need that villain to be born villainous and not someone who did the wrong things. bc the average fandom simply cannot comprehend that people aren't just born evil. if they can't dehumanize one character to the point that people won't even say his name then what's the point. like it's crazy to me. you can say you want jimmy to suffer and die without acting like he isn't human and was just some evil force who forced his way into the crew with the rest of them. do people just not see how theyre minimizing what he did to anya when they act like he's some creature from hell and not a person like the rest of them

i agree with literally everything you said its so crazy 😭 it really does make me feel like the "no fun allowed" guy when i say this but mouthwashing did NOT need the typical fandom. it was an incredible work of fiction that used its medium to its full advantage to tell the story it wanted to tell, but people will DIE if they cant make silly "and then nothing bad happened!" aus bc they see ALL fiction as a sandbox game, or like playing dolls where they just smush their blorbos together and thats all they wanted to take from it

AND DAISUKES TREATMENT SPECIFICALLY MAKES ME SOOOOOO MAD between the way they treat him like some kind of toddler, and the way no one even cares enough to pronounce his name correctly... i KNOW youve probably watched naruto you KNOW the "u" is basically silent youre just being deliberately obtuse and racist. there was this one tweet that was like "the way you all infantilise the asian (and only non white) character is kinda weird" and people chewed them OUT saying "um its just bc hes canonically the youngest 🤨 it has nothing to do with race. that one friend whos too woke" like... okay yeah even if he was white hed probably still be infantilised (especially to make him out to be The Good Guy who wouldnt have let that happen! more later) but youre fucking braindead if you dont think its substantially worse bc hes ASIAN and people infantilise (and simultaneously sexualise) east asians to a disgusting degree 😭 people were acting like an artist made child porn for drawing him with a little hint of a thong poking out of his jeans... in general ive noticed people arent taking anti asian racism seriously lately, especially on twitter. there was this on tweet going around defending the use of HIGHLIGHTER YELLOW SKIN on asian characters with a LOT of interactions and i was going through the qrts hoping SOMEONE would say "hey this is fucked up" but there was NOTHING i felt like i was going INSANE 😭

in general i think a lot of the fandom struggles with "every character is either 100% fully good or 100% fully bad" which is. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! bc theyll say that curly is just as bad as jimmy for not immediately killing him, while also saying that swansea is a perfect angel and if he knew he would have killed jimmy. even though SWANSEA LITERALLY DID KNOW. ANYA TOLD HIM. SWANSEA KNEW AND HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING AGAINST JIMMY BEYOND GIVING HIM THE EVIL EYE (and he already didnt like him anyway! not only did he not treat him any different, he wasnt being manipulated in a codependent friendshp 😭 just turning a blind eye to rape for the love of the game (hating women)). he only did anything once jimmys actions hurt daisuke, a man. i always call mouthwashing "bystander effect: the game" bc it really fits with how no one on that ship actually bothered to help anya so by the fandoms logic, swansea is also just as evil as jimmy is. really the only character who didnt fail anya is daisuke, but thats only bc he wasnt given the opportunity (that we know of)! and since anya thought "curly will help me" and then he didnt, and then "swansea will help me" and then he didnt, chances are, if were thinking "daisuke would have helped her"? he would not have done that. im sorry. i like daisuke as much as the next guy but that useless ray of goddamn sunshine looked up to jimmy and would be just as easily persuaded as curly was. sorry to burst your bubble that daisuke and swansea probably arent the rapist hunters youve decided they are bc the only way you can interact with the game all about rape getting swept under the rug is by insisting that the two dudes you like would not have done that, actually. they are still men. even if daisuke is "nice" and swansea is a "jerk with a heart of gold" they are not immune to upholding rape culture just bc swansea had a soft spot for daisuke (again. a man) and daisuke didnt want anya to kill herself. curly didnt want anya to kill herself either is all im saying

Soooooo What's Peni's favorite.........soup? 👀

Okay but seriously for Peni:

Hobbies? "idle animation" what does she do when she's standing/sitting still? twiddling fingers, The Leg Bounce™️?? Colors she wears/favorite colors? and ofc bc this is tmnt: Signature weapon? 👀 And finally: Best way to bond with her brothers? What did she find in common (or disagreement to the point of hilarity) that brought her closer to each of the bois?

This post got way too long so it’s under the cut!

Heheh

1. She loves hiking, digital art, graffiti, and making music! She has a tablet in her drawstring bag that she often draws/animates on and it has one of those beat making apps that she uses ALL the time. Ah, and she loves Origami (she learned from the foot clan)! She tends to make little Paper cranes and write little messages in them. Said cranes will be EVERYWHERE. On Donnie’s tech telling him to hydrate or something, on the leftover pizza box claiming the last piece, in Leo’s room notifying him that she stole his left overs, etc. (and sometimes theyre just for fun and don’t have messages written in them)

2. (Love this question SO MUCH) when she is standing for awhile she’ll start raising herself up on her tippy toes then back down (kind of like a little bounce that doesn’t leave the ground) and when she’s sitting she often finds herself practicing wrist/hand exercises (half the time she won’t even realize she’s doing it). Oh and when she’s sitting and listening to music she’ll tap her fingers as if she were making the beat in one of her apps (imagine clicking arrow keys on a computer to the beat of a song that’s basically what she does [heheh I used to this all the time])

3. Hmmm I’m not sure yet? Probably a mix of darks and pastels. Also not sure on the favorite color yet! I’ll make a r colored ref hopefully son tho :D

4. At the moment I’m kind of think she wouldn’t have one… like mainly she uses hand to hand combat if she’s in a fight? Idk (oh or maybe she specializes in origami ninja stars!)

5. (Really love this question too bc I honestly haven’t thought abt it too much!)

Mikey:

ART. They both have a passion for art, and while Mikey is more of a traditional artist, the both of them end up drawing together all the time. I imagine since both of them are the shorties of the family they climb up on each others shoulders to graffiti places in the sewer they can’t reach ^-^ (also they’re both the youngest siblings, they want independence, and they don’t like being babied <- all of these things come about for Peni after realizes she’s their sister and they start treating her like the youngest)

Leo:

They bonded over cooking …and by that, I mean Leo’s lack of skills and Peni’s bizarre recipes! Peni’s favorite food EVER is gummy worms, so naturally, once she heard of a Panini she switched out the meats with tons of gummy worms and cooked it. Leo walked in on this moment of genius and was HORRIFIED. He ragged on her about what a disgrace of food that was and she would fire back talking about how Leo can’t even make a SANDWICH without something burning. It sort of became a running joke with the two of them that resulted in Leo nicknaming her “Nini” (oh and in case your wondering, Peni LOVED the gummy worm panini, and Leo tried it and was surprised it wasn’t that bad, but he would NEVER admit that)

Donnie:

They bonded over tech and music! Peni didn’t know a whole lot about it but she was the second most tech involved person in the family so it worked out great any way. It’s a similar dynamic of smarts and crafts except Peni has more technical knowledge than Mikey. Peni will occasionally hang around the lab and check in on what Donnie’s working on, give some ideas, have an awesome idea for a new project, etc. and she also is Donnie’s go to person when he needs blue prints drawn! Oh! New idea! Perhaps Donnie builds her a piece of Holo-tech (like his little holographic screens) that serves as a literal 3D art program! Of course, she also uses it to make even BETTER blueprints for Donnie. And her and Donnie both really like electronic music, and Donnie likes listening to the beats that Peni makes :D

Bonus idea! I think it would take a while for Peni to even have a chance to connect with Donnie. After the invasion, Donnie would spend a lot of time in the med bay, but he mainly stayed in his lab after that. And after everything that happened, Donnie was just not open to talking to this complete stranger that broke into his home :/

Raph:

I think during the invasion Raph would be the one Peni talks to the most (since Raph was the least injured), so they sort of just naturally became close. Peni has someeee medical knowledge but not enough to help with the more serious injuries of the others; she would let Casey jr. take care of those major injuries while she took care of the more minor things. Raph was extremely worried about his brothers and was completely lost in the medical field so Peni would also help explain how they were being treated and what was wrong (I imagine Casey would be pretty blunt abt it which would not help Raph haha). Oh! PLUSHIES. As we all know Raph LOVES plushies (I’ve seen some stuff that’s canon abt it but I definitely headcanon a corner of hid room is filled to the BRIM with them), but lil ol Peni, having lived on the streets her whole life, never owned any (tragic, I know). When Peni first saw Raph’s mounta8n if plushies she grabbed one shoved it in Raph’s face and demanded to know its name IMMEDIATELY. From that day on she loved plushies and started gathering them for her own room (though she never got nearly as many as Raph)!

Yikes sorry for the long ramble!! I loved these questions, thank you so much for sending them!!!!

If anyone has any more questions or thoughts feel free to send ‘em on over :D

[bropunzeling]

when the rat baby ficlet comes (this is me manifesting it) I WILL CRY so HARD girl leon is soooooo important to me i just think!!! look there's living proof of how much leon and matthew love each other!!! love is stored in the rat baby!!! love is stored in the lower body injury!!!

love IS stored in the lower body injury!!!!!!

the thing is i think if i DO tackle rat baby (big if. big big big if. not sure im ready to tackle kid/pregnancy fic quite yet!) there is so much interesting and meaty stuff there: building a life together together instead of always slightly apart because now theyre on the same team! deciding that now is when you want to have kids instead of later - and boy could they get into some fights about that. matthew not wanting to impose his desires because like. leon is the one who will (a) be literally growing a baby and (b) have to contend with missing some of the last few seasons of skating in her prime and he doesnt want to be the reason that happens even if he also wants to have kids. versus leon being like, no you have to decide too, you have to say you want this too, the whole point of being married is not making these decisions on my own. the scary adventure of figuring out if you really are ready for having a kid in the first place. leon as the crankiest most annoying pregnant person alive. (sandra comes to help out and is like you are my child and i love you and i AM gonna shunt you off on your husband as soon as he gets back from this road trip). leon perhaps going into labor while matthew is on a road trip for the drama? the actual cup run itself! balancing having a new baby and the sports high of your life! all culminating in going public because fuck it, you have a cup, secret marriage and secret baby not so secret anymore.

and, of course, all the horny shit they get up to to facilitate having said lower body injury in the first place. they get freaky with it.

big if!!!!!! but. i Think about it.

[topcatofficial]

my ideal modern day top cat reboot (not just tc and/or the gang serving as side characters in an ensemble cast in a hanna-barbera crossover cartoon) would be like,

tc and benny are the same as they always are (selfish hedonistic get-rich-quick schemer and his naive childhood bff enabler)

dibble is a private investigator (like he's always wanted to be) who is tc's other childhood friend (boyfriend) whose investigations somehow always end up intersecting with tc's schemes even when he's not actively investigating tc. i cant decide if i want him to stay human or not tho (dog dibble au my beloved miss u baby)

trans lesbian choo choo my beloved. weird and emotional, and constantly talks about her girlfriend lola glamour (theyre so t4t)

non-committal flirty serial monogamist gold digger fancy fancy, based on a mix of his cartoon personality and comic personality. like if fujiko mine were a catboy, who will sometimes betray the gang but they barely really hold it against him. tc doesnt, anyway

oblivious math wiz brain who is probably nonbinary but he's got finances to go over so he doesnt really care about that right now.

former-hellcat butch biker lesbian spook *giggles* i cant decide whether i want spook to be a she/her lesbian or a he/him lesbian, but very top cat begins/comic based characterization

roxy from the scrapped reboot finally gets to join the gang :) she can have jellystone brain's personality since he's not using it. she also has something extremely gay going on with spook

then side characters would be like,

myra and sheldon live in the city and periodically get involved in tc shenanigans! myra is very much so a neurotic worrywart who is constantly freaking out over the ways her twin brother's schemes can backfire. sheldon didnt really have a solid characterization in his book so maybe he can have jellystone fancy's personality?

kitty glitter from top cat and the beverly hills cats can be recurring because i like her <3 to me shes so lupin-iii-sadgirl coded

lola glamour gets to appear now and then and gets to be so annoyingly sappy pda with choo choo. has a lot of mentions and cameos though cuz shes still a star and shes dating choo choo who adores her childhood best friend turned lover <3 <3 <3

dibbles ex-wife periodically shows up and tc hates her soooooo much which is ironic because theyre kind of parallels. foils. the same but different. i would emphasize them being so similar and in fact that she reminded him of tc is why he married her and she does not like that one bit. self indulgent but i really dont care <3

i think they should have two kids (fred and daniel, based on comic dibble's names) just because i think it'd be funny as fuck. am i making him even more like zenigata? sure but my justification is dibble is a little league coach and camp counselor which is stereotypically things dads do to connect with their kids :P

jazz and beau can be recurring antagonists with their own gang that being dark parallels to tc's gang. teehee.

trixie from the first movie can be a recurring character too but only if shes an irredeemable antagonist in jazz's gang. the rest of jazz's gang consists of pantera from top cat begins, rocky from the comics, and skratch gets to exist separate from spook.

i guess griswald could be recurring since he had two eps and in the comics there was a recurring antagonist who was a bulldog but i dont care enough about griswald to expand on that idea

- oh wait he can be the actual cop since dibble is a PI now. duh. he literally became a police dog in one ep so it works.

cop cat from the comics can be griswald's partner although i think he needs a better name than "cop cat" ... maybe fuse him with officer prowler so he gets a cooler name. idk

Tumblr Plays Pokemon White 2 - Part 5

I just need one.

Just to steady my nerves.

JUST. ONE.

GLUG

GLUG

GLUG

Ohhhh thats the good stuff.

Okay Polly. You can do this. Just walk out on that soundstage. And, i dunno, act?

Dear lord this is like third grade talen show all over again. Only this time I don't have Hugh to dig the hole.

......

The filming... actually turned out okay? It was pretty standard fare hero schlock but ah well.

And hey, i actually have a fan!

Hmmm this is going straight into my veins.

Dont tell my mom.

Your lucky I've had my lemonade hit today old man.

Welp. Guess I'm a move star now.

hehe.

Oh shoot it's dark. Uhhh is Pop Roxie still running his boat? I did say I was gonna do all the gym matches so I kinda gotta go to Castelia right? Hnngh maybe I'll come back to do more films later?

At least after getting a set of wings or something to get here and back again in a jiffy.

I wind up running to the pier in the rain.

Okay Hugh I'm here, sorry I took so long. See there was this bald guy with a really unfotunate name and-

Whaaaats going on here?

What like.... like the terrorist group? I mean lets not jump the gun here Roxie. I mean just cause theyre dressed kinda funny doesn't mean we can just jump to conclusion. Besides even if they WERE Team Plasma they wouldn't just admit to it. Nobodys that-

... Wow okay so... you guys are like... actually that dumb then?

Look I- No I get you wanna make some big dramatic speech but I- Stop cutting me off you RUDE LITTLE-

Hugh, baby, do NOT cut the Polly off when shes speaking! You know what happened in third grade.

Anyway Hugh goes off on this whole hate filled speech about how much these guys suck. And I expected some kinda edgy response but instead.

Home slice. You were chased... by Lillipup? Dude I hit a Lillipup with a bike when I was, like, five and it was flattened like a pancake. Sure, I got banned from riding for, like, ten years but my point is that anyone who runs from a Lillipup, a Lillipup right?, has no right joining a terrorist organization.

God its the third grade all over again.

Hope you have a shovel Hugh.

Oh sweetie.

We're gonna bury you.

Plasma Grunt sent out a Patrat against Bentley and you can just tell that Bentley has a chip on his shoulder over the Gym battle because hes raring to go. Patrat starts with bide after Bentley wraps him up, after that I had Bentley use growth while Patrat stored energy. Next round Patrat releases the energy and Bentley hit him with vine whip. That combined with wrap gets the little rat int he red. Patrat manages to forestall hi defeat with detect but one return later and its over.

After defeating the Patrat Bentley learns Leaf Tornado.

The Plasma grunt and his buddies have enough sense to run off before we can really get going and run for their lives.

Its okay Hugh you didn't have a shovel anyway.

Uh... Pretty sure thats a YOU job? Your the gym leader here.

However Roxie gives me the HM for Cut before running off.

Well Hugh guess we have a free HM now soooooo

Deep inhale through nose

Yeah okay.

Your lucky were friends Hugh.

The things I do for friendship.

Thats what I DOING! GAWD

Look its not like we're even going to find them! If they're really in a terrorist cell theres no way they're just going to be standing out in the open like a jackass saying "Come and get me Polly"

.... Bentley.

Go loose buddy.

Hey look its a purrloin.

And now its dead.

Just like old times. Old times being, like, the day before yesterday. Or whatever.

Aaaand the Plasma grunt runs away.

Hugh get her!

I... you... She ran RIGHT PAST YOU!

YOU HAVE A PIG WHO BREATHES FIRE!

wHaT... i DONt.... THIS IF YOUR VENDETTA!

oh please do tell

Okay she said they have a boat. Castelia City has a port. Hmm Okay.

I... we were JUST there Hugh! We'd have been better off just waiting in Virbank for them to come back and then jumping out at them from behind a trash can! Or dragging them into an alley to get info or something!

Arceus Dammit Hugh! This is YOUR revenge quest! I'm just tagging along cause Prof. Juniper asked me to complete... the... pokedex....

You know what Hugh, you uh, you go on ahead. I have some stuff I gotta... take... care of....

Shit shit shit how many pokemon do I have to catch?!

Ran into a shaking bush and caught an audino on the way to the pokemon center. Shove THAT into the PC for now, what else....

Route 19... Route 19 gotta start with route 19. Habitat mode dont fail me now!

GOT IT!

YOU. IN BALL. NOW

DANGIT YOU ARE NOT GETTING IN THE BALL

ARIES GT OUT THERE AND PARALYZE THAT CRETIN!

YES

IN BALL

CAUGHT

MOVING ON

DAMMIT OF COURSE THE FIRST PURRLOIN I FIND HAS LIMBER

AAAAAAAHHHHH

[squarebracketsmileyface]

i can't get the thoughts into words but the diner by Billie ellish is so S,IL Jay?? I can't explain why but it's him and his obsession/stalking of Alex

maybe it's the line "you could be my wife, could get into a fight, I'll say you're right, and you'd kiss me goodnight"

You're so so so so right. This song is soooooo Jay, poor guy. Poor lil freak. Poor lil freak stalker. Idk how to put it into words either, but this song just feels like Jay, kinda off kilter, the gait of his emotional reactions is just kinda off. Idk maybe uncanny is the word? I feel kinda like the way Jay is with Alex almost falls into the uncanny valley but if there was an uncanny valley for emotions? (Can you tell I don't understand the uncanny valley effect? I only feel it for dogs 💀)

The song feels like that too, kinda creepy and dark and just Off a bit, y'know? I feel like that's Jay. A lot of that's probably just general mental illness stuff, cos that seems to make people fall into the uncanny for people? But just, yeah, idk 👍

But like, yeah idk, he's not evil, he can get better, he does TRY to get better once he's been away from Alex for a few years, once he's with Tim. But he does need therapy, and he's all resistant to that.

Like I love calling him and Alex toxic and shitty and stuff, and like, they are. They're just two of those people who just need to stay away from each other, who can only make each other worse. And then they decide, yeah let's be best friends since like, primary school. Because they were both weird and freaky and no one else liked them, so of course they gravitated to each other, and of course because everyone else hated them, they grew to love each other almost obsessively to make up for that.

And like, obviously the operator is involved and it's making it all worse, so chuck that out of the equation for a moment. When Jay and Alex are with other people, they do get better. Alex has like three great years with Amy where he learns to get over his internalised homophobia and how a relationship can have proper communication etc. And when Jay's with Tim he starts to learn that he can't rely on manipulating situations to get what he wants, he slowly stops feeling so hung up over his relationship with Alex (this poor man does NOT know how to let go of things 💀)

Jay and Alex are just not good for each other, and thats fine, sometimes that just happens.

Sorry anyway idk where that lil rant came from. Probably cos I've been If It Ain't Broken brained for a while and I miss the fluff and slow getting better that I was writing with the last chapters of "Sorry, It's Locked". They're my babies and I can't wait to write their first time, before they got super toxic together and all that.

Also can't wait to write the aftercare part of If It Ain't Broken chapter 4. I just need to write fluffy. I need those two specifically to have some fluffy and healthy stuff together, because so far I'm reeeeeaaaally painting them as shitty shitty shitty, and they weren't always like that, like, not even most of the time. Like my intention with them is that most of the time they're literally just fine, a lil tense maybe, but not as god awful shitty as theyre being in their worst times, aka the times you see in If It Ain't Broken.

[cassyapper]

i know it was yesterday but omg please talk to me about kakyoin joseph adhd solidarity. their relationship is SO underappreciated

yes of course <3

i just think like. so joseph is a more "classic" example of adhd but i think kakyoin has it too (i think if he got diagnosed at the time though he'd get "add" cause he's not "hyper") and i think they both Sense this. they see each other. i think they can converse with each other really well, both their thoughts are running at similar rates and its easy for them to jump along and follow and also one doesnt take offense when the other interrupts with a sudden burst of thoughts cause yknow. they get it.

i think theyre both so deep in the forgetting things/losing things hole they rely on each other soooooo much for that. kakyoin searching with hierophant for joseph's hat. joseph using hermit purple to figure out where kakyoin left his earrings. jsut like. yeah. idk they bond!!! i think they bond. and also they help each other remember things like when kakyoin's reading the map while joseph drives he does it one direction at a time he doesnt just read off what to do for the next five miles he's like actively correlating and yeah. just yeah. oh kakyoi helping joseph with his executive dysfunction oooooo yes baby.

related to the forgetting thing but i think they also help each other with the inability to form habits. kakyoin when he rooms with joseph is like "mr joestar you need to brush your teeth" "i did that this morning" "you need to do it again it's good dental hygiene" "ughhhh" but yeah. and vice versa i think joseph reminds kakyoin to look in the mirrors and stuff while driving. i think kakyoin was really annoyed with this at first but as he and joseph get friendlier he accepts it and understands it's coming from a place of friendship and honestly more for reminding himself than for kakyoin. OH SPEAKING OF they both feel very comfortable murmuring instructions again out loud to each other while they do things. like kakyoin murmuring his hair routine or joseph audibly running through what he packed to make sure he has everything before they leave a place. just yeah

anyway yeah i agree joseph and kakyoin is a very underrated friendship i wish there was more content about them...he definitely saw kakyoin as family and i think kakyoin reciprocated that. sniffles.

[jimimn]

And I'm gonna be annoying with you! 😊☝️This jikook show will be the only thing we talk about 😂 No but imagine this: they promote this show. They film YouTube videos. Talk about what happened behind the scenes that the editors will surely cut out because its jikook. Post behind the scenes pictures or videos. Maybe even do a live (although I think it'll drop after yknow what but a girl can dream) the possibilities are endless and I'm both really happy and Really Afraid to consume new jikook content because they are just as unhinged as we will be 😭 Mentally preparing myself for the thirdwheeling already, but honestly I don't think I can even prepare for that 😂 Okay but in all seriousness I'm so happy they filmed this, they've always liked to go on trips with each other (me sending this ask on the anniversary of gcf in tokyo lol) and obviously I always love seeing 2/3rd of my bias line interacting with each other 💜 I will joke about the editors cutting out everything but I will be still happy that they got to spend time with each other and do something they wanted. And yes, so many things! 😭 I haven't been this overwhelmed with bts content since... ever. 😭 -🦋

(ps. since we know it happened because yoongi mentioned it, i hope we'll see them call the other members too :( i'm taking every single ot7 crumb i can get)

DON'TTTTTT DON'T MAKE ME IMAGINE THINGS this travel show is already living inside my head rent free 😭😭😭😭 but I'm definitely imagining a commentary or something (if its actually a variety show like bv) THEYRE GONNA BE SO CUTE AND GIGGLY WON'T THEY 😭😭😭😭 im soooooo excited (and scared bc they're unhinged when they're together) to see my babies together 😭 we gonna be thirdwheeling so bad fr fgbhndgdh <3 (also sorry or replying like a week late I've been really busy and tired this past week :') ) in other news we're also getting the ptd on stage dvd soon and we're 99.99% getting that hq footage of jungkook carrying jimin out of the stadium (and more bc its jikook and they're attached at the hip<3) so I'm SEATED <3 oh the editors will definitely cut out a lot 😂 remember not getting that black t-shirt jikook from in the soop 2 in the trailer that we never got in the episodes or behind the scenes? 😂 but nevertheless you're right you're right I'm so glad they got to do this 🥺 (AND YESSSS PLS OT7 CRUMBS I NEED IT I MISS MY FAMILY :(((((((()

dts s2 e6-7

e6 -ALEX EPISODE -every time ive watched this episode and he says his sisters name (zoe) it's startled me. i anticipate it and it surprises me every time -"we are trying to give young people a chance. That's part of the Red Bull philosophy." (Helmut Marko) oh ok. oh OK. OH OK. -i need him biblically. i need him in a way that's concerning for feminism -OK UM so i watched the first half in the morning and the second half after my shift and i was like. im so wiped idk how emotionally i'll even be able to engage -and damn do i truly underestimate my ability to be affected by something i've seen and heard about over and over again. -ok but the parallels between alex's mom talking about being scared as a mom vs daniel's mom talking about the same thing in s1e1 -random cate sighting is crazy i almost forgot how she dated pierre lmao -god i NEED an alex/williams episode next season i miss him on this show soooooo much -its silly but every time i see that clip of anthoine kissing his girlfriend its instant waterworks

e7: -first of all obsessed with seb saying y'all. love him miss him sm -GOD you can just see how charles still has hopes and dreams here he hasnt been crushed and hardened by the ferrari machine yet. what a sweet time for him :/ -sebchal makes me so *gnawing at the bars of my enclosure* -part of me wishes they showed charles' win at monza w/ more charles centric focus? it was such a big deal for him and i think it deserved more. THAT BEING SAID it does set up the sebchal rivalry dynamic well, which is what the documentarians chose to focus on, and for that they did well. -i could say the same for seb's singapore win. it makes sense from a storytelling persepctive to focus on these from the rivalry lense but damn do i know these are iconic wins for both of them and its bittersweet that they don't get their own focus -i'm so confused how charles literally looks straight down the camera lense and says that he was signed with the knowledge that he'd be second to seb, and then gets MAD when they prioritize seb???? like when they prioritize charles seb has ever right to be mad bc that goes against what he was told but charles?????? i know that its bc theyre gonna be super competitive no matter what they're told bc its in their nature but Come Onn -"every world champion has what I term an 'inner bastard', and its the ability to make the tough decision when you have to." i do NOT take will buxton slander on this blog. i love this quote sm and as a baby fan it was big in understanding driver v team politics. it is SUCH an important skill to know when to be a team player and when to be selfish, and the ones who figure it out are the ones who maximize best outcomes. (a good example of this recently imo is carlos in singapore!) -"we'll start by holding hands." when i know its coming and i'm still vibrating gnawing on my enclosure etc etc. brainworms well and alive and fed -GOD rly puts into perspective how charles has been being fucked over by the ferrari engine since Day One -sebastian vettel has the vibes of a restaurant manager who isn't doing the greatest job but he'll never get in trouble because every single waitress is swooning every time he speaks. let me know if this makes sense -with more seb history context: i wonder how much this parallels to the dynamic in rb when daniel joined--and he left the following year. christian talks all about daniel "running from a fight" with max... wonder if thats also, at least in these instances, sebs instinct as a driver in this system. don't take this analysis too serious btw i'm just spitballin

ithink hearing that someone thinks liam would listen to cavetown caused me actual damage. like i feel like my hp just went down. this guy works in an office and listens to black metal and would apparently 'name a cat something practical, like Fluffy.' he feels like the epitome of the : | type autism . he would never listen to cavetown . i hope this ask isnt weird or silly but like i have a phd in studying liam . i genuinely study the source material soooooo much to make sure i mischaracterize him as LITTLE as possible and the amount that he is depicted as 'cute' by fans is like PAINFUL . i have 'obsessed w accuracy' autism so im like augh he would NOT fucking say that . i undeerstand so much (also sending this in an ask bc i agree with you SO much but i am NOT ready to put how much i hate ones fanon on my blog bc i feel like its batting at a hornets nest w how much people stick to it. you are so brave for posting abt it its unreal)

YOURE RIGHT THOUGH. idk what it IS but so many people. cutesify him?? infantilize him?? idk how to explain it. i dont wanna be too mean bc its usually just a young kid projecting onto a character they like but like. seeing people say liam listens to cavetown and lemon demon and likes kidcore and plays animal crossing and cries when people yell at him (which like this isnt even just a personal thing for me its completely against how he is in canon) and is a Sweet Soft Sensitive baby who can do no wrong gives me psychic damage. like I Know there are people irl who like these things. i myself like these things!! im not saying that theyre bad or its "cringe" to like them because frankly i disagree with cringe culture fundamentally. but these weird cutesy headcanons for him like he isnt a severely traumatized ADULT man (who is definitely neurodivergent dont even @ me) just feel wrong to me especially when they completely disregard what kind of person he is in canon. im not saying people arent allowed to have these interpretations but im just putting it out there that i dont agree with them and they make me uncomfortable sometimes 😭

and of course im not saying that *my* interpretation is the only right one. there are no right or wrong interpretations for characters its just that fandom has a very bad habit of flanderizing or stripping down their beloved characters and it's just as much a problem in the osc as well

also i need to be honest. there are so many character headcanon things that just list the same 3 bands that people think these characters listen to. and i mean this with no malice or resentment but yall have GOT to expand your music horizons. they cant all be tally hall and lemon demon fans /lh

[missfingers]

ok i don't know much about yakuza but i gotta know for the choose violence ask game: 3, 8, 11, 16, 22, 24? (you can also do these about another fandom instead if you want, i just chose yakuza bc those are ur little guys)

HI AUSTIIINNN. forgive me this will get long

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

ohh my god theres been so many. but okay i will specifically pull up an example from the server i run. no screenshots cause the conversation was way too long but essentially yakuza has a massive misogyny problem with its female characters (of which there are. barely any). the conversation was specifically about the hostess mechanic, which is this minigame that appears in almost every game where you go to a hostess club and have a date there (a hostess club if ur unaware is basically softcore sex work its paying a woman to talk to you at a club). ofc nothing wrong with hostessing but people were specifically talking about how it was Kind Of Creepy that all the protags are like.... 40+ and all the hostesses / other female love interests are a lot younger.

and then this guy came in saying something along the lines of... if you criticise the way hostesses are objectified in yakuza then actually you hate women and sex workers and youre saying its not a real career .....? NO ONE WAS SAYING THAT. it was really one of those situations where the person was acting like these fictional female characters have their own agency to do sex work and flirt with older men ignoring completely the Old Men Writing The Series. they are not real people making their own decisions these are women written by men. it was bizarre. this guy also eventually said that if you criticise panty shots in anime youre racist or something because "japanese culture is like that" okay.

already answered 8 here! <3

just realised i completely got switched up on numbers and i already answered 11 and thought it was 10, so my answer for 11 is here but i will also answer 10 for @kasugas since i fucking. didnt.

10. worst part of fanon

majima woobification. and the worst part is its in the games now too like they straight up woobified him in kiwami and i cant STAND IITTTT. hes literally a yakuza boss he violently beats up his men he canonically married an 18 year old and hit her when she aborted their fetus hes not a good guy and i love when canon shows that. but then fanon is just like solely fucking majima everywhere characterisation of ooo hes just a silly little faggot who loves kiryu and kiryu hates him <333 (even though kiryu. does not. and finds his antics hilarious in every other game. and treats him as his closest friend.) and also the uncle majima stuff....... i like thinking about his relationship with haruka as much as the next guy but when people just. slap them together with no consideration to the fact he KIDNAPPED HER. AT 10 YEARS OLD. like dude shes going to be traumatised you cant just Ignore that for the sake of giving her two dads?

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

oh i fucking know. i KNOW why they like it and the answer is theyre uncreative yaoi loving freaks but so much nishitani content is just him acting like some borderline rapey daddydom and its soooooo Eugh. they make majima into this uwu baby who doesnt want any of his advances until the relationship is literally liek something out of a fucking yaoi where he "really wants it deep down but hes going to act like he doesnt so its going to feel so uncomfortable and hes going to get borderline assaulted". the entire appeal of nishimaji to me is that nishitani is literally so down horrifically bad for majima and majima actually likes him back even if he thinks hes weird as shit. theyre both insane for each other.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

ok im going to sound deranged here but his relationship with mirei. thats the 18 year old i mentioned. a lot of people choose to ignore he did that and like.... i get it its very uncomfortable to accept your favourite dude would prey on a kid like that but like. i feel like it does a disservice to his character to ignore that? it shows how he perpetuates the cycle of abuse and its so incredibly interesting to me but so many people just say "he wouldnt do that!!!!" when like.... yes he would. im sorry but he would.

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

fuckig hell idk theres so much horrible yakuza discourse. ig its relevant rn but like whenever anyone genuinely critiques how fandom acts (misogyny, racism, woobifying a genuinely morally reprehensible character, ableism, just anything) and then the people who do this shit get all up in arms about it and act like its pointless infighting when its... genuine shit that makes a community unsafe

[moonchildstyles]

flower would soo watch the occasional horror movie just for harry because she just loves him sooo much and i can see during the very rare occasion she does watch one with him she gets really scared afterwards and later that day she doesn’t feel comfortable showering alone (maybe something scary happened in the shower in the movie) and she tells harry she’s gonna take one and he’s like okay baby :) and she’s all shy just standing there with her towel like “umm h? can you shower with me please ? don’t really wanna be alone right now” with the biggest blush and as soon as she says that he instantly knows it’s because of the movie and he’s all like “oh lovie of course, was hoping you’d ask didn’t really wanna be alone either after that movie” (and ofc he’d be fine but he just wanted to make her feel better) and he’d spend the entire night being extra cuddly with his girl :’)

WAIT STOP THATS SOOOOO SWEET:((((((((( like the same way he does things he doesn't always like just bc he knows she does and it makes he happy she ofc does the same w the scary movies nad maybe some physics talk and all so even tho shes scared she'll watch them sometimes w him and hes always so good to her still taking care of her during the movie and distracting her so she doesn't get too scared but im sooooo obsessed w the idea of him taking a shower w her bc shes jsut a little too scared to be alone and shes just so nervous you know like how ppl get scared when theyre closing their eyes when washing their hair or face or something that like when you open your eyes something will be there so like she def has that going on right then and its just :( she wants him to help her :(((( and hes SOOOOOO cute for "oh yeah im a little scared to be alone too love!! let me get my stuff okay???" like.....going to cry:(
