Leo Woodall in The White Lotus 2.06 “Abductions”

[ineedtotalkaboutshadamyrightnow]

Guys, I... @Kaencrumbs made fanart of my fic, guys. The Whole Love has its own fanart now. Look at it! It's amazing!

Look at the level of detail, the little tear on his gloves, the damage to the upholstery of the seats... I don't draw, but I know a lot of artists find drawing cars in 2d difficult, and their GUN jeep looks so good, and they look so good, and their heads together with his arm around his head makes it shaped like a heart and-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

And his expression is so perfect because he's trying to focus on the road and what they're doing, but he's also like, "oh my God, she's hugging me, this is not a drill," and she's so HAPPY, and their faces are squished together and- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm marring it with my shortcuts, but it fists so well as a desktop background, and I want to see this every day.

3. Where does your muse’s libido fall on the scale? 10 being hyper-sexual, 1 being the opposite. 5. Is your muse a top, bottom, or a switch? Why? 8. Are they polite or do they have a dirty mouth?

Quick Rick Headcanon Pack

3) I would say Rick's libido is around 5, I feel like he's the total opposite of Negan (who's hyper-sexual and jokes about it all the time etc. and claims to have a high sex drive etc.) I've never seen Rick do that in the series; when he's sad and anxious or alone (no romantic link with anyone) he seems to be completely turned off. I mean, dude spent like 8 years at the CRM and apparently he didn't have sex with anyone, or even kiss or date anyone at all, all he does is have romantic cheesy dreams about Michonne and that's it. I just don't give him a score below 5 because when Rick is in love with someone he can be really passionate, and it seems he's quite demisexual so having sex seems to have a very strong emotional / personal / spiritual weight for him and he gets more active.

Let's say Rick's libido can be absolute zero when he's alone and anxious / sad - and then be 7 when he's happy with someone he loves. But in all honesty, I don't think Rick is a sexual guy at all- I would say he's more the cheesy, romantic type. He's just...such a dad. He doesn't look at people in any sexual way at all (unless he's already in a relationship with the person and is just playing around), and he also hates harassment, he doesn't like being flirted with (unless he already has a bond with the person). I think he's quite the opposite of the "cliche sexual macho womanizer" that's very common in movies. Rick's very complex and sentimental af.

5) I think Rick is a switch. I mean, in the scenes with Michonne from S8 he...seems to roll a lot lol. I think he would like to give and receive honestly, he's too love deprived to try and do all on his own lol. He wants to feel loved too.

8) Rick is very polite, will swear only when he's very very angry. He tends to respect other people's spaces a lot- physical spaces and mental spaces as well- I don't see Rick being uncomfortable to others, he also seems to contain himself to not speak whatever comes to mind and he's very reserved. And I guess he expects the same from others.

girrrrrl im rereading the wonderlands & i forgot how insanely sexy louis is in this holy shit. like im blushing and kicking my feet & getting butterflies from this man just like harry is. your characterizations of h&l are always so palpable and rich and specific to each of your fics. each one is so different yet also so distinctly THEM & you’re just the best to ever do it !!

also, i hope you’re so proud of yourself when you look back at all the incredible stories you’ve shared with us. getting sentimental now but I’ll miss you & your big brain & your big heart. your writing has been such a gift for us readers over the years

lmao thank you D: D: i read your ask last night and then started thinking about the wonderlands and missing them.. i always love when i get an ask that makes me nostalgic about a fic and then i start kind of sinking into the rabbit hole a bit.

twl louis really was the first louis who felt like a whole ass man to me as i was writing. maybe bc he's rich lmaaaoo... also though he's older and very set in his ways and very sure of himself and yes, that's extremely hot lol.. i love writing about louis that way. it's very true to how i perceive him irl.

and pls don't even get me started on twl harry... he is my brethren. his mess is my mess. his brain is mine. he's just horny and confused and trying his best and like... name a bitch more relatable.

see? i'm in the rabbit hole now.

anyway lol thank you.. this is such a kind message and i appreciate you just stopping by to share some love. :') it's okay to get sentimental here. i'm sentimental all the time so i really do appreciate it.

theo, scott, and stiles in thin white lies

"Guys," Scott sighed. "We're just studying."

"Uh, no you're not," Stiles scoffed.

"No I'm not?"

"Not if I'm forced to live vicariously through you! If you go to her house today and squander that colossal opportunity, I swear to God, I'll have you de-balled."

"Jesus Christ, Stiles," Theo groaned, letting his head fall onto his desk more loudly than necessary. Then, against his better judgement, he lifted his head and asked, "Would you go to a vet or a human doctor?"

"For de-balling a werewolf specifically, or in general?" Stiles asked back.

"Holy shit, we are not talking about this," Scott growled before Theo could further the conversation.

Or, the AU in which Theo never leaves Beacon Hills with the Dread Doctors, and he grows up with Scott and Stiles as the third member in their troublemaking trio.

When I saw the white lotus win so many Emmys... It was fun and I know that the awards aren't serious, but can we be serious?

When I see people say that "The White Lotus" is such a smart show and doesn't hold your hand...I have to agree with you, anon.

To quote Logan Roy, "I love you, but you're not serious people."

I still don't get what was so great about the script, which was so preachy (a lecture for the white American crowd) and unsubtle.

"Oh, TWL is such a good criticism of privileged families."

I beg to differ.

For all of its talk about imperialism and racism, the first season focused a lot on intraracial classism instead.

The series is trying so hard to be the new "Succession," but it isn't. Not even close.

Unlike "Succession" that is a modern "King Lear" show, on "The White Lotus," your empathy lies with the less privileged characters, sure.

Except none of the local and indigenous characters are given plotlines of their own and when they do enter the plot, they're either victimized or erased.

"But that's what the show criticizes!"

Yeah, no. Talking about colonial issues while providing no escape from them isn't the #slay people think it is. It replicates and perpetuates tired tropes.

What's even harder to swallow is that the first season was filmed in Hawai`i during the pandemic, when everyone was asking visitors not to go there. But, hey, the director/creator wanted to "get out of LA."

It would have been so easy to tell the same story about privilege from the Kānaka Maoli characters' POV and incorporate their culture. It would have been so easy to focus more on Belinda and not turn Paula into Olivia's token friend.

As for season 2? Well, it kept my attention with the lesbian storyline and the lovely cast, but the quality was questionable.

Anyway, more prestige shows should use "Lovecraft Country" (unfortunately canceled too soon) as an example is all I'm saying.

"The Whole Love" is on hiatus for at least a month while I work on new chapters, so now's your chance to get caught up (it's almost a novel already, lol).

It's about Shadamy teaming up and using each of their unique talents to help overcome a sinister threat (also bonding, encouraging each other, maybe falling in love or something, idk).

People have had a lot of nice things to say about it:

[homriette]

I just wanted to say, after seeing your necromancer OC, I think you'll enjoy the new manga series Ichi the Witch.

The funny part about this, is that literally yesterday a friend of mine recommended me the series

The art looks great! I definitely want to give it a try
