#This post does give me a fucking MASSIVE boost to not give up

[daily-whistlepaw]

You must be so freaking pumped rn. The writers are considering making Whistlepaw a POV!!!

I am away from Tumblr for ONE NIGHT, one night where I'm going to a play with some friends and they post it THEN.

My god this is terrible for my heart, they are going to kill me eventually with this. Yes I Am Hyped.

Also, @vulturequills' drawing of my design of Whis is in this article. They Know About Me Lol.

[not-goldy]

just because he sings all JMs songs on his live- to promote his music to his unique fans, boost his reach, generate sales from the free ad and marketing- doesn't mean he supports him."

LMAO NO WAY you really think jungkook put jimin's songs out to a bigger audience? how insulting wow. i see now you are one of those jikookers who think jungkook is the bigger artist between the two right... right... how could i forget those stream increases after those handful of lives (never happened btw nice reach jungkook!) or how it boosted jimin's sales (never happened again) no you're right so kind of superstar jungkook to help poor jiminie lmfao give me a break. honestly a shame god free jimin from the likes of you

Screech like a pterodactyl all you want numbers don't lie. And i know you are dumb but Unique fans simply means, in marketing terms, fans of Jungkook who are not fans of Jimin or BTS.

You, as a solo, will count as a unique fan of Jimin while I by virtue if being both Jk Stan and Army as will not count as Jm's unique fan even if he's my bias because I fall within the intersect on the fan venn diagram.

Common sense, should tell you- you don't need to be a marketing expert for this- cross promoting eachother to eachother's unique audience is good for business. If not, hybe wouldn't spend so much money building a platform like Weverse using BTS's massive fan base as leverage and even sometimes deliberately sending notifications of other groups to us acting like it was an accident.

Since they have the same fans, there would be no need for any BTS member to show up on Suga's shows to promote nothing yet here we are- does that make Suga a bigger star than Jimin or Jungkook or any member he features on his show?? Are you stupid?

You are wrong and you know it. Your toxic ass tryna create drama but no one's falling for it mate 😹

I'm glad you enjoy my emojis and gifs- they are cute aren't they😊

Now take your attention seeking drama queen crown off to the misery lounge and bitch complain to the other miserable folks in your band.

You will sit here and complain about Jimin not being pushed and supported and given the same treatment as Jungkook yet turn around puffing your chest out alleging Jimin is bigger and needs no damn support from no one let alone Jungkook.

Choose a struggle. Choose a narrative and stick with it. If JM is big and powerful and successful all on his own why the hell does he need assistance from anyone at all?

And I agree he doesn't need Jk's assistance. What is that going to do for him? Why give Army and Hybe trouble for focusing their energies and resources on the poor helpless ones with the actual problems who need help and support from fans and the company?

Since Jimin got his degree and he knows everything- don't you think it makes sense why Jungkook should be pushed and supported by well everyone? Poor Jungkook he needs to be pushed to be put on the same scale as his successful hyung because he is lacking.

Guys like share and comment Jungkook needs all the help he can get

And turn out your pockets we need money for studio

While we are at it the Pride fight for love shirts are out

Let's do our thing and sell out. We need the money to buy handcream. And keep streaming to keep him on bb🥂

Yall keep setting Jimin up it's crazy

If he wasn't my bias, I wouldn't even want to mention him post him or talk about him to avoid attracting lunatics like you.

Makes a lot of sense why Big OT7s stay far away from Jimin. His solos are toxic as fuck.

And to think, we show random kpop idols love just because BTS mention them or talk about them.

Too many of us had no choice than to accept Jikook just because Jimin fucks with jk. We all have our own ship preferences and yet here we are.

Not long ago I had my own people call me out for supporting Taemin when he'd been accused of making colorist remarks. I could Stan the devil if Park Jimin smiled at him just once. It's crazy the vitriol and hate towards Jungkook even though he's Jimin's favorite- a fact he's made known and iterated over and over.

Naa Jimin, it's time to put timberland boots in the guts of some of your so called Stans. They can't call themselves your stans and hate your family it's crazy.

And I used to hate Army for hating on Jm stans and solos but godamn I'm gonna have to jump on that bandwagon.

Free Jimin from Me, Mr Jimin will pick me choose me over your pathetic ass any day. Wanna bet?

Talking bout yea Jungkook did all that for Jimin but it was in the pandemic years ago- well Hobi went to support him eons ago what's up?

Jk sent trucks to his friends a while ago. So what's your point?

Jimin earned BBs months ago what's your point?

Hybe abused and traumatized him years ago, what's your point?

Nothing you say matters hereon, from your own logic, since they happened years, months, weeks, days, hours and minutes ago- so again what's your point bringing any of them up?

You're gonna act like you know shit when we only know what these men CHOOSE TO MAKE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.

Imagine judging someone by the little to no knowledge you have of him and what he does behind the scenes.

Not too long ago he was an asshole and fuck boy with zero social skills- now suddenly he's the model friend sending out trucks and buying jewelry for his friends??

YOU AINT SHIT

GGWM - Get Giffy With Me

I am not professing to be anything even remotely resembling good at giffing, but I got a little message from @thisautistic (hope you don't mind the @, bb! I'll remove if you prefer) asking about how I did my Jay Does Corporate Pride bold gays Ayan set. We quickly realised I can't do anything concisely, and so was born this idea.

All my secrets laid bare. Not that I consider anything here a secret. Go ahead and steal my methods. Steal them. Run with them. They're yours now.

Specifically, I'm going to talk about background isolation and boosting, here, but I'm gonna start a new gif from scratch and show the steps to getting there.

So, I have Photoshop 2020. Or 21. I don't really know. That's the only tool I'll be using, other than the empty cereal box I call a brain.

We're going from this to this. (These are very, very quick and dirty, but they're for demonstrative purposes.)

And this to this.

Annoyingly, I think I prefer the "bad" example, but anyway.

Fair warning: this post is exactly as chaotic as you'd expect it to be, considering it's me writing it and I wrote it in an hour... which includes the time spent making the gifs.

Are there easier ways? Probably.

Let's go!

1. CAP SELECTION.

I have the entirety of The Eclipse capped already, but you'll want to cap your scenes if you haven't already. I prefer working with caps rather than video clips - they both have pros and cons, and I can talk about that some other time if anyone wants me to.

I'm doing two gifs for this little tutorial-turned-dissertation - one that's easy peasy to colour for the purposes of Corporate Pride, and one that makes me want to consume my own elbows. For comparison, or something.

First thing to consider, is if the background is a feature, you want your subject to stay fucking still Kanaphan I swear to god.

You also want to pick something with fairly good contrast. I hate black/white and otherwise relatively neutral backgrounds because they're so difficult to make look natural, but something already predominantly coloured? Lemon squeezy, baby.

2. IDENTIFY COLOURS.

I've taken the easy route and picked green, which is almost always going to contrast nicely with skin tones and makes my life easier, and purple which I have many many issues with, but also contrasts.

Also, this step isn't massively important, it just helps. For example, I didn't know I was going to use green for the First gif until I boosted a bunch of colours and realised how green that rock face behind him is.

I tend to use my beloveds Selective Colour and Colour Balance rather than curves. I don't understand curves. I only use it if I have to lighten something.

3. QUICK AND DIRTY BASIC GIF TUTORIAL ft. my boy Pawin:

Timeline> Video Timeline> Add Media> put in your frames, change your frame delay. Boom, basic gif. Or, to get particularly meta... gif gif tutorial!

What a babe. 🥰

And no, I can't explain why he's here. I have two perfectly fucked up gifs to fuck up, but I chose to spend 60 seconds of my life making a Pawin gif just for this.

4. COLOURING!!!

Go nuts. But here's my process for the Akk gif in specific.

This tells you precisely nothing, but it was fun to make.

I have no idea how to share the specific settings other than to give you the .psd. So as soon as I figure that out, you can have it. I don't recommend using the psd for any and all gifs, because my approach to colouring is interpretive at best, but I really don't care all that much so. Do what you like. S'what I do.

Not included in this: cropping/resizing, my sharpening action, swearing about First, apologising to First, laughing at the fact I changed his shirt colour entirely, swearing at First some more, shrugging and saying, "That'll do."

5. COLOUR FILL / BRUSH / OVERLAY

So, all of this is for this one step.

Here I will demonstrate why white/neutral backgrounds can suck unless you're looking for that particular effect.

For something like the gifset I made, I wanted to punch people in the face with colour, so I had to use scenes with backgrounds I could lean on. In the Akk gif, I noticed the green after fucking around with the colour balance (I tend to boost shadows blue or red, then highlights cyans, but I've been known to go wacky. I leave mid tones alone... for the most part.) so that's what I decided to lean into. When I started this little ramble 500 years ago, I was originally planning on orange. How fickle fate is.

Anyway! I prefer using brushes rather than a full colour-fill layer, because I feel like it gives me greater control. I also prefer adding colour gradually rather than starting with a block. So, I use either a large soft brush at 50% opacity, or a watercolour brush at 100% because it's semi transparent anyway.

I'll use broad strokes - I ain't here for detail work. Set it to Overlay or Soft Light, whichever floats ya boat. And then rather than erase anything, I'll create a layer mask and, using the same brush, splodge it around til nobody's face is green.

And then on the off chance things are eye-burningly saturated by the time I finish other colouring things, I'll just go kill the opacity on the overall colour layer. Like seu~

You have no idea the strength it's taking to not go back and redo this entire tutorial because I've taken too much yellow out of his skin and it's bugging the shit out of me.

This is a fake tutorial, Jay. Breathe.

TO KHAOTUNG!

I am man enough to admit I stole my own damn .psd for the other gif. I literally used the same settings other than futzing about with the neutral balance to try and get some kind of colour undertone.

This is the second gif with just the colouring, no additional fill or overlay:

Isn't he pretty? Don't we love him? I love him. He's so asjdkfhg. Ugh.

Anyway. I figured there was sort of a blue/purple tone. Knowing what I do, I know it's gonna be way too pale for what I want, and he also moves quite far across the frame, so it's gonna be a pain in the arse if I want to go SUPER saturated with any colour background,but this is a demonstration and nothing more.

I could use Linear Burn instead of Overlay but I always get annoyed at it. Because I am a deeply rational person.

Anyway, the point of the above is to kind of show that sometimes u just gotta leave a massive puddle of colourlessness around someone's head if they're moving a lot. I've gotten away with it in this case because it's pale, but if I tried to put any further boost to the saturation, it'd look insane:

I HOPE THIS HELPS

I apologise for my incoherence. It makes sense to me. Which should worry us all.

Anyway, final gifs:

+

Rejects of my War On Purple, because I promised those. Notice how they're all white, black or neutral (dark brown/red) backgrounds? Rage.

[gwydionmisha]

how do you keep up with all these articles and websites? With twitter being down the shitter, and tumblr recycling month old posts, i havent been able to find a good central news source. I figured I could use RSS feeds, but these sites post SOOOO frequently that I find it overwhelming. any advice?

it's an eclectic process. I watch some TV news which gives me a heads up on things happening. So does dreamwidth and tumblr and friends with different areas of interests that will let me know about things happening in the areas they watch or in their countries. I also watch a couple of other progressive aggregators with sort of Venn diagram interest areas with mine. So some stuff over laps with things I already read, but there are more things I wouldn't have spotted on my own that are important and/or interesting. I also have a bunch of searches I do for longer running things, and things I'll do a random periodic search on to check in with ongoing situations that mostly fell out of the English language news cycle.

I started out doing history articles and archeology news, that sort of thing. Then there was a little commentary. Then Us politics went completely berserk and I ran out of time to properly read and post breaking news, let alone the things i still care about but are so much less world on fire. I try to squeeze some in at the edges never theless.

It helps that I read stupid fast with a high comprehension rate. also, I'm disabled and don't work, so I have time other people don't have, even working at whatever pace my body is up for that day. I can just go lie down if need to. I don't have to force myself to type much if my arm is completely fucked that day. Most people have a whole lot of time sucked into working and commuting. Most aggregators are working to some sort of schedule if only self imposed.

A lot of why my out put rate is so uneven from day to day is some days I am too busy or ill. Some days I do a ton of reading and prepping, but am too ill or tired or in pain and can't post much of it. The massive output Sunday evening was an example of the opposite thing, where I hadn't time to read, but I had a ton of links read and preorganized, so I could toss them onto the dreamwith scaffold and post them very fast at the same time on Tumblr, so I gnawed through some of my backlog pile.

(I post a sorted aggregate on dreamwidth once or twice a week at https://gwydion.dreamwidth.org/. Tumblr they mostly go up in batches).

I am doing this on the most basic level out of love. I love learning stuff, hence my origins over on livejournal before the Russians got it, sharing links to articles about cool things people dug up. I grew up in a political family. I've been watching politics since the Ford/Carter debates. I do care about the world. I want things to be better. I can't march. I can signal boost, and write, and share links, and call politicians to complain about stuff. It means a lot to me when people I don't know look at what I do and it helps them in some way.

I would be reading news regardless. I learned at the age of eight that when confronted with horrors, that for me personally, I do best if I study the enemy. This allowed me to work out how best to resist and survive. all these decades later, my survival strategy dishes up news links organized in anxiety friendly ways on dreamwidth, and in the more chaotic but blacklistable form here on tumblr. I'm anal retentive about news tagging to help the people who aren't here for that or who aren't up to staring directly into the void with me and drinking from the news fire hose. I never even expect my closest friends to read all my output, because my volume is rather excessive.

Don't feel bad if you aren't up to it, some days or weeks or months. My adaptation is wildly atypical and for most people this would be unhealthy.

If the news is too much, it's okay to take a mental health break. I do ask that you vote, because we need everyone, regardless of country to save the world. The news will still be there when you are up to it

Any aggregate has a bias, both selection, and the other kind. there are things i don't cover because I don't know they are happening or because there isn't time. There are a whole lot of other things that I don't or barely cover because they aren't good for me. it is so much harder to see absence than presence.

My best advice to you, is to find someone like me who gets a lot of the things you are interested in so you can at least skim headlines. More than one is better, but if you get stressed out by the output keep it simple. Find some news sites you trust or if you have a good local paper get a subscription. (I used to read the paper everyday, but my local paper is extra bad, so I'm all online now). Read articles on things that interest you. If you are up to it do some searches on topics important to you.

Whatever you do, never read or watch one news source exclusively. Every source has biases. If all that history training has taught me anything, it's that.

Remember that no one can read everything and that's okay.

I have no idea if this helps. I just stopped to read your note before bed, so I'm a bit rambly.

[leclercsbf]

hello!! i know you posted about this a while back but i just wanted to tell you that i honestly would love to see you write that charlos + landoscar fic (the roommates au) i just know for sure that the entire fic would be CHAOTIC because they’re all oblivious lovesick idiots at the end of the day (pls feel free to add in a splash of maxiel as well if you would like too)

and the amnesia au!! YES YES YES. i love the fact that they’re husbands too, i think it’ll be really interesting to see the dynamic between them and that like whole ‘oh’ moment charles would get when he gets his memory back (pls tell me he does gets his memory back because i cannot handle pure angst in this context)

i am so on board with the idea of the set it up au as well, i haven’t watch the film but i did watch the trailer and small parts of it and i feel like it would just make perfect sense to have lando and oscar in that context. and also the idea of having charlos and maxiel as their bosses *chefs kiss* you’re an absolute mastermind

and that line from pierre in the “woke up with lady parts” au is EVERYTHING. it’s just so pierre coded and typically like charles said there’s always an element of “fucking the other person back to normal” so i cant wait to see the direction you’re going to go in with this fic

and of course the whole jack frost and pitch idea is literally so intriguing i love your mind so much

im so sorry if this feels like added pressure i really don’t mean for it to come off that way!!

i just absolutely adore your ideas and your whole thought process and if you do plan to write these fics i hope this gives you somewhat of a motivating boost :)

sending you so much love <33

hi there! please don’t apologize. you’re free to send me asks about whatever, whenever, because asks are generally appreciated. thank you so, so much for letting me know that the ideas i mentioned piqued your interest! if anything, i’m probably going to start with the roommates fic because it seems like the lightest fic overall, but we’ll see how it goes because i haven’t written up a proper outline for either pairing. your boy has unfortunately been too busy to write. i miss it. looks off.

to be honest, i haven’t really figured out whether or not charles is getting his memory back, but angst isn’t currently on the roadmap for the amnesia au. that might change once i start writing it, but i’m not planning on any tears for now! i feel like i owe my ao3 account a bit of joy after the last charlos fic i wrote.

set it up is a very good movie, and i’m not just saying this because i have a massive crush on zoey deutch. i’m not really a romcom kind of guy but this had me very entertained, so i definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in a romcom kind of mood. that said, i don’t plan on following the movie to the letter. i’ll basically just be taking the general premise and maybe a few details here and there, because the kiss cam scene? actual genius.

you know i just had to make pierre say it, anon. i absolutely had to, because it’s a very pierre thing to say. the direction for that fic is basically homosexuality (as per usual) and i’m very excited to write it! the question of when i’ll be able to write it is an entirely different matter, but the motivation is there. believe it. i’m similarly intrigued by my own brain because i feel like it was onto something with that jack frost and pitch thing… i just wish i knew what my brain was cooking because i completely forgot. HELP. glad to know that it sounds interesting to you as well, though!

and don’t worry, it doesn’t seem like you’re pressuring me in the slightest. i really appreciate that you went out of your way to express your enthusiasm for the ideas i’ve got lying around. fic writers do what they do because it’s fun, but it always helps to know that people enjoy reading our work, too. gives us a much-needed boost. sending you just as much love, anon! i’m wishing you the best day. ♥️

Unit Teambuilding - Eri

Shoutouts to @ether-gearhead for reminding me Eri drops tomorrow.  I completely forgot to write this one up with the others.  I apparently remember she released but had a blank post with just the title set to drop tomorrow morning.  That would've been so funny and embarrassing.

General Overview Supports come in many flavors, but none has quite the same bitter taste as the Vamp Tank.  Units whose focus is on HP recovery specifically through damage output universally struggle to thrive.  Sycamore is an F2P guru, but let's not pretend that he hasn't massively fallen off over time.  There's a reason they don't try doing this approach that often, and stick to the tried and true Double Potion MPR.

Eri, it seems, is feeling bold for her debut, returning to a drain tank, and specifically a drain tank with Drain Punch.  You know.  A three-bar move.  Which is never good on a support.  She also has a Circle effect.  For anyone who doesn't know, I do not respect Circles, I think they're garbage effects.  She does get a passive that gives her Free Moves Next when she attacks while the Circle is up, but that's temporary and requires the first action with gauges.  Notably, she does not buff speed.  As an odds and ends effect, she also gives the team immunity to sleep (useless until Extreme Battles use it if ever) and flinch (actually nice).

Eri's other gimmicks are her real selling point.  Her Buddy move is a 2MP attack with respectable DPS, and acts as a self-Potion.  She also focuses on stacking PMUN.  Her TM gives +2, as well as +3 crit and gradual healing to the team, while her main passives gives +1 PMUN when she's hit, as well as +1 to team defenses per hit as well.  On grid, Eri can also hit for Defense Crush 9, and +1 to team Atk.  She does get Extension of Circle at 3/5, and at 5/5, has MP Burst to recover her Buddy move and that Circle application for a lot more sustain.

In my own personal estimation, Eri is fine but unimpressive.  My main complaints are that Vampire Tanks never really succeed, she relies very heavily on the presence of a temporary field effect to maintain gauge control, and is frankly too slow-ramping on the defensive end to really keep up with the pressure of higher tier offense.  Not to mention, these effects are contingent upon being attacked, which is something you have zero control over it, making her less consistent.  Her Superawakening effect is decent but it's not exactly salvaging her, and Support/Tech is notoriously garbage.  And of course, there's the issue of buffs.  Eri, effectively, only boosts crit.  Defenses are very slow, and she requires a specific node at 3/5 to handle attack.  She's not exactly great at the team support angle, she's just good at not dying.  Sometimes that's all you need.  Often it's not enough.  I don't really respect this alt.  But then, better a Fighting support than a Ghost damage dealer that outperforms Anni Lillie '21.  Again.  I cannot fucking believe Master Fairs aren't getting Superawakening, this game is such garbage.

EX, Role, Cookie, and Superawakening Support, so EX is wildly important both for stats and the effect of sync.  Role is Tech, Tech is garbage and offers nothing to Rally, skip.  Her signature lucky cookie is Guarded Entry 1, which is hysterically worthless, just run Vigilance.  Her Superawakening is...okay.  I don't like the Support effects, I think it's largely unimpressive, but when her entire focus is on personal healing, that HP bloat is beneficial.  Her signature skill is -2 cooldown on entry, which is actually pretty nice, on top of First Aid 6 and a team-wide buff to damage while Circle is active (20%).  I am not sold on this being a strict necessity, but it's not a bad improvement for those invested in her.

Champion Stadium Quite possibly Eri's worst mode.  Champion Stadium is particularly hostile toward vamp tanks, due to the presence of Standard Damage Reduction as the freest form of points.  Eri is effectively only at her best under Fighting-weak stages, which is horribly inconsistent for a support.  In addition, CS can use X items, which denies her passives that rely on getting hit.  While slightly less damning, Eri also faces the harshest competition to her defensive merits here, as the slow ramping nature of her main passive means hyper-offense parameters in CS can bowl her over, without any form of Endurance to offset this threat.  Last and worst of all, Eri has no means of healing her allies, meaning modern CS with all its AoE spam really makes life difficult for her allies, who she is largely unable to help.  It's not a great look.

That said, Eri's strengths are in capping crit, and spamming PMUN boosts.  SS Nemona and Poppy come to mind as particularly fun options, being able to handle their own offenses and appreciating the PMUN focus.  SS Nemona bears special mention because Eri's Free Moves Next do not rely on her own circle, just a circle, meaning she and Nemona can tagteam effects.  In fact, this works for anyone who sets Circle effects and is primarily physical.  It's also worth bringing up non-Circle users who are just good at physical offense.  Akari or Rei are great picks for Eri, given their own self-sufficiency.

Legendary Gauntlet Another mode that feels like it should be good but isn't great.  Eri's excellent as a frontline tank, and with LG being pure attacks, her passives get more mileage.  The problem is that Eri herself checks no gimmicks.  Her solo count will be, I expect, fairly low.  To compound issues, she again cannot heal or defend allies, meaning AoE spammers with crit like Entei, Tornadus, or Registeel, kinda bypass her immortality.  Meanwhile options like Moltres, Latias, and Uxie aren't worried about her at all.  She does have a pretty okay matchup against Terrakion, given that Circle should offset Clear Advantage?  But I don't know that for sure.

Damage Challenge Not ideal.  Getting hit repeatedly to stack buffs isn't a great plan, especially since the added animation time hurts rather than helps.  Eri offers very little for DC.

Battle Rally Support/Tech is nothing important.  She's not an atrocious pick on the whole, but she offers nothing for the stages where you really need someone in a pinch.  Moreover, she doesn't check gimmicks.  This leaves a lot of stages in a bad position, as I find the bigger issue is finding someone to deal with whatever garbage that specific stage was created for.  Eri feels largely lacking for Rally as well.

Ultimate Battle Potential Never say never, I suppose, but I personally think Eri is very poorly suited to these modes.  Slow-ramping defenses, no gimmick checking abilities, no teammate healing support; she lacks for a lot of traits that top supports tend to look for.  For stages that are almost entirely single-target, and with a strong partner like Arc Cynthia or Geeta, she may see success.  But I don't think her own merits are necessarily clearing the wall.

Final Thoughts I'm coming down a little hard on Eri, but I hope it's clear that I do have my reasons.  While stronger, this kit reminds me a lot of Variety Agatha.  Worse in the buffing category, but by bulk you can get a sense of what you're picking up.  Agatha also operates on the "+1 defenses per specific action" rule, and is hilariously easy to blow past.  I also don't really think a buffing kit that's just stacking PMUN is particularly valuable at this point.  Argenta and SS Acerola do the same, but frankly have better gauge management, with Acerola also offering a ton of significant benefits over Eri.  It's just...not a kit I find particularly inventive or significant.

Survivors I play and like a single sentence on why

bcuz i kinda exhausted myself talking about rescues and rescuing so mewch with a post abt rescues [that,, deffo needs revision >w>] into a post abt first officer vwv [going in order of percieved usage which is inaccurate to actual usage due to having usage from bfore hiatusing]

mechanic so anyways i might cut that whole tangent out but i love mechanic because shes like playing two survivors at once :3 and becuase her stacking decoding penalty and ability to be decoding while chaired justifies really self destructive bodyblocking and rescueing :3 i play her as: all rounder/decoder? she can give heals, or body block with one body while using the other to decode, she can be a first rescuer w/ tide bodyblocking while using bot to decode, when she is downed / chaired, she can decode, and in non-camping hunter situations she can self-rescue, she can self heal, she can decode with both bodies (tbh i only start decoding with bot when someone is injured >w>), having a sub-par fifth survivor is just really useful in alot of ways and it happens most are to keep someone decoding

explorer explorer has the best stealth of any survivor, reliable hunter detection [though lower range w/ no aura reading or secondary benefits], and flexibity with ciphers which gives resistance to alot of cipher delaying effects / tactics i play him as: decoder, he has no ability to assist kiters and the only benefit he has when rescuing is "probably uninjured", he can contain for some time as a kiter in some areas on some maps but he doesn't have Any reliability if he isn't in those areas or able to getaway

first officer hes a rescuer he has lower drawbacks than mercenary i like the pseudo invicibility i use him as a rescuer please don't make me talk mewre abt him im already in the middle of writing something abt himmmm ;w;

thief flashlight silencing is good against the characters that are otherwise good against most of my played characters, and flashlight's stun is fun to use running backwards and flexibility is a little nice benefit that makes me get terrorshocked when not thief sometimes, painfully :3 and he has two time-saving for whole team passives and he's standard decoding speed with minimal timesinks i play him as: kiter, though he definately has pretty notable assist kiting capabilities i just haven't captured how to use yet he is notably teammate dependent w/ his lockpicks

batter batter has an ranged aimed semi-reusable knockback, which if used without immediately regrabbing ball gives the hunter the "female dancer break box for future viability but let transistion" choice, With the choice for batter of making it stun and/or reseting cooldown but beaking ball on contact, 20% vaulting speed which under rampage becomes 40% and,,,, altruism is,, altruism is so much fucking movement, using altruism is so exhilirating, and so useful for getting into assist kiting positioning and is also incredible for escaping i play him as: an assist kiter, or rescue, hes also Good at kiting should he be first chase against some hunters when you don't fuck up massively ;w;

gardener im not remotely good at her but breaking rocket chair makes it waste hunter time repairing And makes it last longer without having to be near that area when it happens, vaulting speed + veterancy's boost + the shield i hnstly haven't learned are all nyice for extending chase, and i also just find movement speed boosts like veterancy really nyice i play her as: kiter with passive assist, she Really does not function as a "balloon rescue" (harrasser is a word i've seen but idk the extact definiton ppl r using for it so i've been avoiding it here >w>), atleast without assistance and she probably Is the only character with any business playing secondary "harrasser" which is maybe interesting to try actually :3

doctor doctor is kinda like, a pressure release valve, somewhat soft counters every chip damage hunter, is very effective in games where resetting/healing occurs, and is also just really useful for slamming yourself between the kiter and the hunter to bodyblock and then leaving with veterancy to heal up :3 [her vaulting speed down is painful sometimes though ;w;] i play her as: healer / assist kiter, and secondary rescue, i'm not really a fan of being the focused kiter with her but she Can heal up for that anyways

lawyer i honestly like never play lawyer but he fits between these two and as a fan of itemless/light kiting and veternacy and decoding quickly he fits in here but even though hes the best itemless kiter late game and able to hide i just will usually pick explorer over him if the decoding looks neccesary i play him as: decoder, though he IS much better than explorer for rescueing

postman being a mapwide assist is just helpful and being able to give a permanent 10% vault up is just useful, alongisde being able to boost decoding, and dogs are useful :3, but i don't play him enough to honestly say "how" i play him past "trying to give decoding to someone not being chased or give letters to help the main kiter and then help the rescue with bravery and if being chased or near the main kiter dogging the hunter" but thats just the character

antiquarian the survivor i don't play at all who i think i shld pick up the most since shes very handily able to kite + assist kite, has normal decoding, and has part of explorer's stealth (less trail + using jump to vault) , but i've just never play her but think i shld enough to mention

also lucky guy hes a veterancy user and his options allow for alot of different styles and reactive play but the main thing that makes me think about using him is that he can do "doll stuff" that mechanic isn't really able to afford to do but i feel like i need to learn him more to use him in any regard

since i mentioned little girl in the much better tl/dr shes map wide teleport which is good for healing and pages that is useful for assisting kite and connection that is obvsly useful for assisting kite and lets you bodyblock + speedboost and lets you Only think about pages and shes also like half the size of other survivors making some loops function kinda like tall walls that otherwise don't :3

[snapedefender]

Yeah the difference is Lovecraft can't use the relevance his work gives him to be racist and platform racism anymore bc he's dead. And Plath is no longer relevant/alive enough to do fucked up shit. As long as Jowling Kowling Rowling is relevant, she is powerful enough to hurt people, and talking about/publicly engaging with the work she still profits from and builds a platform off of keeps her relevant enough to have influence. It's not just money she's giving to bad endeavors, it's credibility and attention and all the stuff that comes with being a celebrity.

Like the damn TERF book all you want. Just do it privately, so that we bury that gay-bashing transphobic antisemitic cunt in the massive turd she made.

This doesn't seem like a big ask. Ffs.

i mean, i could reference actual authors who have giant followings and are problematic... orson scott card and george rr martin spring to mind immediately, but there are more. no one is saying we can't talk about those books just because the authors aren't great people like they do with rowling. if you're going to apply that to one current author, you should do it to any current author who has a following and is using it to peddle their hate speech or problematic biases.

what frustrates me is not the people who argue we shouldn't support rowling, it's the people who say we're not allowed to talk about the series whatsoever anymore. her influence does not come from talking about the series - it comes from her money. the only reason she has any influence at all is because she built up enough of a fortune to do so. cutting her purse strings IS the most effective way to lower her influence, as well as speaking out against her on public platforms... not telling people they can't meta about hp on tumblr, which barely anyone is paying attention to at all. her celebrity is tied into her money. fantastic beasts failing and the vocal campaign against her on twitter is doing 100x more to discredit her than anything else could and my posts for one niche corner of the internet on tumblr dot com will not somehow boost her popularity.

also. like. rowling is a terf, yes. doesn't mean all of her work is. like there's interesting analysis to be done on where her biased views on femininity show in the books, but the sheer black-and-whiteness of your attitude irks me. we analyze books by racist, homophobic, transphobic authors all the time in classes and our every day lives - pretending that this ONE series has to be the exception where we must pretend it doesn't exist in order to conform to YOUR idea of what makes "good activism" isn't helpful and isn't doing any actual good for the trans community. shitty authors do make good books. it happens a lot, unfortunately. i'm capable of deciding to keep the parts of the books i want and ignoring the author for being shitty. once again, if i'm not giving her money or buying her shit, then why the hell should it matter?

it shouldn't be that hard to just... let people do meta tumblr without accusing them of being transphobic for the crime of *checks hand* talking about a popular book series. if it makes you uncomfortable or if you don't want to see it, damn, the block button is literally right there for any of you to use. learn how to curate your own online experience, learn how to leave people alone, and learn how to do actual activism for the trans community, because i promise you, this kind of bullshit isn't it.

[outismm]

I saw your reblog, please talk about Huck before you explode I'm worried about you /lh

ANON YOU BROUGHT WHATS COMING UPON YOURSELF-

When I tell you this is gonna be an essay this is gonna be a THESIS. I would defend this man in a court of my peers. I have been thinking so hard about this little man for the past few months this is gonna be SO LONG SMDNSMD

OH ALSO. tumblr likes to fuck with formatting so. some of the images might be out of wack. mwa that's all

Okay this is gonna be split,, btwn Gay Thoughts and pointing out Character Design Choices/Scene Details/Cool Shit bc. That is the joy of media :)

AAA <333 GOD I COULD TALK FOR AGES ABOUT HOW GOOD OF A CHOICE IT WAS TO. HAVE BOTH VANDER AND HUCK INTRODUCED TOGETHER.

Vander is humungalogongus, Huck is Tiny, putting them together just emphasizes both of those qualities in such a delightful way aaa <33

GOD AND THE MUG. THE MUG WAS SUCH A SMALL GOOD CHOICE.

Vanders hand wraps around that tankard like it owe's him money smmnmdsnd whereas Huck would probably need to use two hands to do the same.

I just. It's such a great use of contrasting character designs!!

AND THE TWO SITTING TOGETHER !!! LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL CONTRAST!!!

Like sure Vander is big, but next to Huck,, he is BIG big. Absolute giant, I love how it helps boost those Protective Vibes he's meant to have!!! <333

AND THE SAME THING WORKS PRESTO-REVERSO FOR HUCK. He looks so insanely small compared to him, and joint with how he curls into himself, all of it just makes him look so. fragile.

It's such a fantastic way of getting across the Vibes of the characters in a nonverbal way. giving the animators my bank info as we speak.

there. is no analysis here this image. this shot is just so funny MNSDMSNDS

He is Experiencing so intensely. Help Him.

Um. Well. See.

h

No comment your honor.

NO BUT,,,, he shivers here!! It's such a small detail it's basically impossible to actually see unless you slow down the footage!!

they didn't need to make him. Literally Shudder In Fear but they DID and I LOVE them for that. It's not even smth most ppl are gonna see, it's like 3 frames at most, but they DID.

AGAIN, SMOOCHING ALL THE ANIMATORS WITH TONGUE.

OH AND HIS EYES!!

I brought this up somewhere else but. Big Eyes + Small Pupils That Can't Sit Still adds so much more,, stress and tension to everything he does. I'm sorry the design details have me by the throat what can I say.

THEY GIVE HIM SO MANY. BEHAVIORS. The drumming of his fingers is my favorite - it pops up three times that I've noticed.

The bar, before Vander hands him his drink.

The table, when he's getting upset about the deal going south.

The counter of the Apothecary's dispensary in ep.6

ITS SUCH. A MINUTE DETAIL BUT IT ADDS SO MUCH PERSONALITY.

Like even outside of his tinger-tapping - the way his eyes can't sit still, his very jittery uneven movements, his eyebrows are almost always Bunched Up in that worried expression, that nervous laugh like UGHHHH <333

ITS THE LITTLE THINGS YKNOW? <333

His lanky frame and frantic gestures have entranced me

There's so many good details post-timeskip I gotta talk about MSNDSM

I. GRMGKRKGR. The way they re-introduce Huck makes my brain start bounding off my skull

First he's fully covered by the cloak, he looks relatively normal

then he falls backwards, revealing that he's completely emaciated, far past his previous thinness.

THEN we get the close-up shot to show the tumor, giving us a glimpse into just how damaging shimmer has been on his body - his hood even falls off to give us a full look.

I JUST. GOD. The escalation. Those small moments of Tension-Release are scattered all throughout Arcane and they all give me such massive brainworms.

LIKE EVEN FOR PPL WHO MIGHT NOT REMEMBER HIM,, ITS JUST SUCH A GOOD WAY OF REVEALING THOSE DETAILS.

and for the people who DO remember him it adds that little layer of,,,, Youch

AND THAT ANGLE. GOD. It really feels like we're looking down at him from the barrel of Cait's gun. The cinematography in this show is always so pretty.

(this is also the moment where we can see the escalation of his habits!!)

His eyes are more jumpy, his hands are more expressive, that nervous laugh he has is escalated to the point that it. sounding like he's gonna burst into tears. ('I- I owed her old man my life. Probably more.. than that - I guess' ..... Bill Lobley did such an amazing job w/ his voice aaa)

My absolute favorite detail they added was post-timeskip Huck's,, self-soothing behaviors?

He holds his own hand, he leans against his arm - at one point he tries to rub his forehead before flinching back, forgetting his tumor is there AAAA </33333

It's so clear he isn't accustomed to contact, which makes Cait's hug feel so much more cathartic </3

HE JUST <33333. They really emphasize how vulnerable he is. His constant fear and his desperation to not be afraid is such a key part of his character.

Like he says himself that one of the main reasons he turned to shimmer was to finally, finally make other people the ones who are afraid I JUST. AAA. I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY YALL IDK WHAT TO SAY.

SIGH,,,,, TUMBLR'S IMAGE LIMIT IS BULLYING ME SO. one last little detail before I wrap up.

HE SMILES WHEN THE APOTHECARY SLAMS DOWN THE VIAL

HE. SMILES WHEN. THE APOTHECARY. AAAA <3333

ROSES HEARTS SPARKLES WHOEVER THOUGHT OF THAT IS GETTING PUT IN MY WILL

He's!! genuinely happy that Vi is gonna get help!! It's so clear that the choice he made to turn in Vi wasn't one he made easily.

If there's any last thing to say it's just. The crew did such a good job adding all that depth. Huck gets 5 mins total on-screen and they still took the time to flesh him out.

TLDR. Mwa I need season 2 stat

SHUFFLES FEET... ANON TYSM THIS WAS SO FUN. Anybody who made it this far and read through everything,, I'm making us friendship bracelets and cookies ilysm.

[themidgardlibrary]

Thank you for this commentary. I didn't know how to both share the "it's not time management, it's psychological stuff" and comment so my brain short circuited and just posted without comment, and this helped me to actually job my brain into putting what I want to say into words.

Like, oh, yeah, it totally has to do with 'mood', but it's not something that can simply be *managed*. My executive dysfunction does not happen because I am not frolicking in a sufficient number of fields, it happens because my brain chemicals are all fucky.

My mood is not something I can manage like a sheepdog manages a herd of sheep. It is a series of chemical reactions that, even with medication helping, I cannot control.

I can't suddenly cure my depression by watching enough kitten videos. I'm not able to forget that the world is on fire, that I am under threat of being legally regulated out of existence like some shitty lightbulb, or that I am disabled and will be for the rest of my life.

I can't suddenly counter my ADHD by shooting myself up with dopamine (because so few things GIVE me dopamine these days, and the ways to LITERALLY boost your dopamine are both illegal and likely to interact badly with my prescription medications) so suddenly I'm getting the chemical reactions I need to do whatever work I need to do, because doing anything I'm not intimately interested in is an uphill battle of monumental proportions because my brain is wired shittily. I'm even on meds for my ADHD, and they only do so much!

I can't suddenly turn off my autism and become a neurotypical who doesn't have to prepare a week ahead of time to leave the house to get groceries, because the sheer amount of energy it takes to succeed at the task is monumental AND the fact is that sensory overload is almost guaranteed.

And let's not get into my OCD, because it compounds ALL of the above more than they compound each other, which is a fucking LOT, because it adds arbitrary rules that I CANNOT circumvent without massive amounts of either energy, panic, or anxiety meds of a strength I'm not allowed to have because someone is afraid I might sell it to some depressed suburban mom, or worse, get 'addicted' to something that might ACTUALLY help me function.

My issues are about as managed as they can get without the WORLD ITSELF changing and becoming more mindful of my LITERAL NEEDS. My failure to function is not because I don't ~stay positive~, nor is it due to not getting enough sunlight, it's also not because I'm not eating farm fresh veggies every day, or whatever else people say will cure your depression/adhd/autism/ocd.

Maybe a neurotypical person without any mental illnesses can simply ~manage their mood~, which I actually question, but I *literally cannot do more than I am right now*. I am struggling to do even what I am, to a point that sometimes I run myself into the ground so hard I can't think AT ALL during the time I'm awake. Stop making it sound like it's as easy as just 'managing mood', and look at how there are seriously a whole lot of other factors! Stop making it out to look like it's a choice, or some personal failure!

[Image ID: A black picture with the title “HOW TO SUPPORT FANFICTION AUTHORS” written in bold caps lock, colored with a winter forest picture. End ID.]

Well, this post has been made countless times, but I’m making one too because I’ve seen a lot of people say they’re new to tumblr and don’t know the whole “reblogging is better than liking” rule and other stuff. So without any further ado, here are ways YOU can support the fanfiction authors. Now keep in mind this applies to almost every author out there, not just the stayblr fandom, so if you’re a silent reader (or even if you aren’t), I advise you go through this post. Warning, this is a fairly long post going into detail, so yeah. I still expect you, the readers to read this, and if you’re a writer, feel free to lmk if i’ve written smth wrong or if you want me to add something! ^^

In this post I’ll go into thorough analysis of the pros and cons of each of the methods listed here and how YOU as a reader can show the authors whose fics you read more love and motivate them to produce content.

WARNING; LONG POST! GOES INTO A DECENT AMOUNT OF DETAIL. NOT EDITED, EXCUSE ANY TYPOS.

#1 : LIKING !

I think this is basic common knowledge, and a lot of people tend to do this. When you like the post, the author sees it, you see it, and if the author has their liked posts accessible (which majority of the time they don’t), and if someone deliberately goes to check it, then they see it. See why so many authors say just liking does nothing? Only liking says “Hey, I’m gonna tell you your story is not that good by simply liking it and not sharing it with other people. :D”

♯ PROS:

You’re telling the author that you've read their fic, and either you’ve enjoyed it to a certain extent, or you’re just saving it to read for later.

Likes are seen by you, the author and anyone who has access to your likes (which, most people don’t).

♯ CONS:

If you ONLY like, you’re not really helping the author’s work reach a wide audience because this site isn’t Instagram. Reblogging is the only way people can SEE our works. I’ll cover more on that in the next section.

In a nutshell, liking is good! But you should most likely use it in a combination with the other stuff I’ve listed below, because just the like itself doesn’t really do much in giving the author any feedback or interaction on their fics.

To clear shit up; I’m not talking about those people who don’t read the story or appreciate it in the first place. I’m talking about those who appreciate the fic, like it, but don’t leave any sort of feedback to show that.

#2 : REBLOGGING !

This is SO, SO important. I cannot stress on this enough. Let me explain WHY so many writers stress on reblogging content: 

Tumblr’s tag system is inherently fucked up, and has grown more so over the year. I’m not kidding, at first, the fic either used to show up in the tags or it didn’t, but now, sometimes your fic can be REMOVED from the tags because of,,, idk tumblr tag shit. Anyways, as you can see, it’s very demotivating for authors at that point, because the major way for people to find their content and expand their blogs has been blocked.  

Due to this reason, tumblr authors need to RELY on you, their followers to help spread their works to a wider audience. Now again, before you get me wrong, I’m not saying you ae forced to rb our works regardless of whether you like them or not. BUT, that being said, if you DO infact like the story, there’s no harm in reblogging, right? By doing this you’re indirectly telling the author — “hey! :D I liked your fic! Which is why I am gonna share it to my followers so they can read it too :D” Trust me, you’re doing nothing but helping the people who produce content for you to read. Seems like a worthy cause to hit the reblog button, right? It’s only a one, or maximum two step procedure.

Leave tags in your reblogs! Trust me, as an author myself and as much as I know from all my author friends, we oft check the tags of your reblogs to see if you found any part amazing or even if you have anything to say about the writing we put so much hard work into. Even a key smash or a “This was so [insert adjective] 🥺” is enough to leave a smile on your authors face. 

♯ PROS :

You’re !! Sharing !! Your authors !! Works !! This leads to them getting more recognition, so for the content they’re so graciously providing for free, you’re promoting their blog and helping them expand it.

If the tags are being a shit, which majority of the time they are, then you’re literally making an author’s day by reblogging! You’re showing them that you, a follower and appreciator of their works are willingly sharing their content because it deserves to be seen by more people. Again before any dumb people decide to attack me, i am talking about people who like the fic but don't bother reblogging and are silent/ghost readers. I am not forcing anyone to read anybody’s work.

YOU’RE MAKING YOUR AUTHOR SO HAPPY WHAT MORE REASONS COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT !! 🥺

♯ CONS :

Literally none, because as far as I remember no author is against reblogging of their works. It’s quite literally the way this platform functions. Reblogging is IMPORTANT.

#3 : COMMENTING/SENDING FEEDBACK !

This kind of overlaps with the previous section, but THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT STEP !! When you leave feedback, you are directly giving the author something so much more valuable to them than high follower/note counts or money. Your feedback is literally our serotonin. I kid you not the number of times I’ve received a positive comment and smiled and it has made my day. There’s a reason youtubers (though not the best example, bear with me here because it was the only one I could think of) ask people to subscribe, like and COMMENT. The subscription is like a follow, the like is ofc like a heart, and the comment is equivalent to an rb with comments in the tags. 

You might argue and tell me that a comment is basically like an ask so the reblogging step isn’t necessary, but I’m sure 99% of you use YouTube and you know that more comments leads to people’s videos boosted in the stream/trending charts. This is what reblogging does. Reblogging shares the piece with other people like minded, which leads to a boost in reads. You are literally helping your author grow.

It’s quite literally the same thing as youtubers. Youtubers NEED validation to keep their content creation going, so do writers, so do other ccs on this site. This post is however, focused on WRITERS, so keep that in mind.

♯ PROS :

By doing this, you’re giving author valuable feedback! It’s similar to what you do in rbing with tags. Interactivity with their fics boosts their note counts and helps expand their audience, so srsly, now think of it: your one comment is playing such a massive role to help ccs create more content.

Imagine how much of a difference the note counts will be in when every person who simply likes after reading the fic, reblogs, leaves a comment and sends an ask. the note counts would be high on each and every fic, which is validation in itself, but your comments would inspire the writer so much more! Please, don’t skip the commenting part. Even a simple one like: “this is so cute!” is wonderful. 

♯ CONS :

Remember, if you’re gonna give constructive criticism (which I’m sure you all are smart enough to know if different from hate), make sure the author is okay with it. Authors need to be in a specific mindset and must be ready to accept criticism, so if you’re gonna give constructive criticism to them when they’re at a low point, it may demotivate them.

Just commenting, instead of reblogging and commenting in the tags/ reblogging and then leaving an ask in their inbox, while it gives validation in plenty, will not lead to the author’s work being spread. Therefore I suggest either reblogging and commenting in the tags or reblog and then leave an ask, or comment under the fic!

!! reminder; I am not saying that if you don’t rb and just leave feedback, your feedback has no value. We authors truly appreciate every bit of feedback, but this post is aimed to help you learn how to interact with and support authors, and make them feel more motivated, because the current scenario of liking and scrolling is taking a toll on their creative abilities. Take it from a person who’s been writing for a year.

#4 : COMMSIONING VIA THEIR KO-FI/OTHER APPS !

Before any of you attack me, let me tell you that this is not a step that is 100% necessary to do. ONLY donate if you can and if you genuinely want to, and if anyone is forcing you to pay for something against your will, you need to get yourself out of there.

Regardless, if an author has a kofi and you’re able to and you want to donate, you definitely should! It’s also a valid form of support.

#5 : ADDING THEM ON REC LISTS/ RECOMMENDING THEM TO REC BLOGS

This is such an underrated option, to be honest. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen my fic was recommended onto some rec list and it’s made me smile so hard. If you like some fics, create a rec list! They’re oft very popular amongst the fans too. Making rec posts is such a great way to share your favorite stories with others. 

Rec blogs! I’ve seen a couple going around, and needless to say they are a great way to get someone else to read your favorite author’s work whilst also giving them your own feedback. These blogs oft accept recs via a form or ask box, and they leave your feedback along with their own, or else they’ll oft tag the author in the feedback post, so look! You’re basically helping your author share their fic to many more people, because you’ve given them feedback and a reblog.

♯ PROS :

Validation! Feedback! Reblogs! More exposure! Helping a blog grow! Spreading love! basically a run down of the stuff I’ve said before!

♯ CONS :

Literally no con of this. Unless, a one in a million case, this author says they don’t like receiving feedback/being tagged, and I’m sure NO person has said this before, at least none that I’ve heard of.

#6 : FINAL COMMENTS; MISC !

When an author points out about how the interactivity is drastically reducing, don’t just give them blind apologies. Yes, you feel sorry for not interacting as much, we understand, but rather show that you’ll become a better content consumer through your actions. We need to see that we’re not just throwing words into a void and that people are actually trying to be better content consumers. 

Understand the fact that authors don’t get paid for this, and 99% of the time, these authors don’t take commissions either. They’re giving you novel worthy writings for free. Take Percy Jackson: You think the author would have felt motivated to write the subsequent parts, let alone two whole series based off of it if literally no one showed that they were interested? Rick Riordan has sales, he is being paid, there are millions of people and big agencies who provide him feedback. Now take that huge amount and simmer it down to an audience of maybe 10000 people This is what fanfic authors want. They don’t want your money, nor are they telling you to risk your lives for them. All they want is, a reblog, some tags, some feedback, some INTERACTIVITY.  A sign that they aren’t throwing fics into the void and that people actually like them, some motivation to continue. Seems fairly easy to throw an rb with some tags, right?

Don’t bother to tell me that we do this for ourselves and we shouldn’t ask for likes and reblogs and feedback, because 1) you are consuming the content that we “write for ourselves” and 2) writers post their content here for interactivity and feedback. We could just not post and write and save our fics in our dungeon drafts for years. But we choose to post to entertain the readers, the consumers. And we aren’t even asking that much in return.

Don’t give me the whole “I’m scared that authors feel that comments are annoying” excuse either because seriously this has been DEBUNKED SO MANY TIMES. Istg, in the nicest way possible, if you still think writers are annoyed by interaction and feedback, after so many posts, long rants have been posted as to how we’re not, then you must truly be living under a rock. There, I said it. Please stop thinking this way, I’ll say it again, AUTHORS ARE NOT ANNOYED OF FEEDBACK, COMMENTS, TAGS, REBLOGS. WE LOVE IT. Saying this is like saying that the audience in a theatre play shouldn’t clap when the play ends because the actors would find it noisy. 🤡

I’ve seen some people saying they have anxiety issues and such, so pls note that I’m not invalidating your condition. If you’re trying to be more interactive, I really appreciate it! If you can’t, that’s fine too. You’re trying.

But for the people who have no reason other than feeling lazy to rb and comment, your lack of interactiveness is not excused. Please. Tumblr is a reblogging site. If you’re gonna consume content like authors are some sort of machines, I encourage you to go get some more perspective.

This site is not Instagram or the satan bird app. Your likes are appreciated but frankly speaking, they do nothing to the author except tell them “Hey i read ur fic but i'm not gonna support u :D” and honestly, that is detrimental to their creative capabilities and mental health. 

DON’T FOLLOW AN ACC JUST TO MINDLESS RB THEIR SIGNAL BOOST POSTS AND THEIR REBLOGS OF GIFS AND NOT INTERACT WITH THEIR WRITING AT ALL ! Trust me, authors prefer a lower amount of interactive followers than a high count that doesn’t even give them any feedback. Again your follows are appreciated, but when you’re following, you know the type of content the author creates, so the author expects that the more followers, the more interactivity. These days, this is just becoming the opposite. So don’t do it! If you’re gonna follow to read, interact with their works. I promise, this will make both you and the author happy. A win-win situation.

In conclusion: SUPPORT YOUR FUCKING AUTHORS! THEY ARE NOT MACHINES THAT HAVE NO FEELINGS TO PRODUCE CONTENT FOR YOU! FICS TAKE DAYS AND DAYS OF PLANNING, PLOTTING, OUTLINING, WRITING, EDITING, MAKING TEASERS. SO JUST SHOW THEM YOU APPRECIATE THEM WITH AN RB. IT’S THE L E A S T YOU CAN DO.

I will be liking this post here written by the lovely @chaninfused​ and @scriptura-delirus​ . Please take time to read it because if you weren’t convinced by my arguments, you will see how much frustration we as writers face on a daily basis. Please, just show support. Here is the post by @stayndays​ about how to get more people to read your work, because it also has a note on reblogging. Please educate yourself, and put an end to this mindless consuming culutre and bring up some interactivity.

If you’ve read this far, I want you to go to two of your favorite authors and leave some feedback in their inbox, and tag me in it (either tag me yourself or ask the author to do so, they won’t mind). Show your writers that our words are taking effect and you are becoming better consumers. I mean it. I’m serious. I want every single one who reads this post to do this. besides valid reasons, if you’re lazy to do this, you’re a part of the problem. PLEASE get more perspective.

Also, feel free to add to this post! I’d love to read your thoughts too, remember to be kind though. And, if I think your rb is somehow contradicting my points and is bringing down the reason I made this post, I will politely ask you to delete your comment, because this post is about being truthful about the harsh reality of tumblr consumers and how we can change it. I’m sure none of you will let it get to that point, though. <3 love you guys. 💓

And, just a reminder, don’t just blindly like this too. Do what I said before, and while I am not forcing you, I’d appreciate your reblog, because seriously, it took me 3 whole days to write this, plus, I’m sure this will help more of your followers understand the fault in consumer culture. haha, that’s it! This post was way too long uff.

also, this is ur cue to not be stupid in my inbox. You have something to say? Think I worded smth wrongly? I’m sure it wasn’t my intention to do so, point it out with manners.

Millie’s Massive Fic Rec Post

To celebrate 700 followers I’m showing all the love, people. What you’ll find here are fics that were sent to me who I agree deserve a bit more love as well as fics I’ve read and adored. They’re split into characters so all you need to do is scroll to find your fave and bask in its glory. There is some swearing but it’s only because it’s the only way I know how to express my feelings. This is also my thank you to each of the authors involved for taking the time out of their day to write these fics for free. There are also some authors I know I’ve forgotten and I am so so sorry if I have, I promise you it wasn't intentional, I love you all very much.

As always, I love and appreciate you all. Let’s get started on this ridiculously long post!!

Harry Potter:

Don’t Walk Away - @kalimagik - THE ANGST. I was on the edge of my seat through it all; I knew what was coming but did I look away? No. I was completely sucked it and that ending... oh my god, I was broken. If you’re looking for an incredibly written piece of angst that has you in tears, then this is the fic.

Dandelions - @lupins-sweater - The first post of A Very Harry Potter Summer and it was kicked off so brilliantly!! This fic had me wishing for my very own Harry to take morning walks with. It’s so wonderful; it has you wanting a summery morning and dandelions to make wishes on.

Always You - @bl597 - inspired by Louis Tomlinson’s song Always You, so I was already sold on that front. It’s an angst piece - Harry pining from afar, regretting his decisions but with a happy ending. I love that it's written from his perspective, that he realises what he’s done. I really do love this fic, and I aim to work my way through her masterlist!

The Truth Behind The Kiss - @justauthoring​ - the anticipation from the first sentence, I was on the edge of my seat. I loved every single word of this fic, it’s written so well. I just, I need you all to read this fic bc it is SO GOOD. Harry, Triwizard tournament, feelings, fluff - it has it all. 

For how long? - @siriusly-addicted-to-writing​ - It seems for Harry fics I am drawn to angst even though I write nothing but fluff for him. This fic is no different. Dani, this fic is wonderful, I love it. You capture the angst brilliantly! Go read this everyone!

Ron Weasley:

“can we pretend I never said that?” - @hello-everyfandom - I love this so much! Ron calling himself ‘the snog master’ had me snorting out loud - it’s great. And then the dialogue continues to be brilliant. I really enjoyed this fic! Ron needs more attention people!!  

Crossing Lines - @kalimagik - ADORABLE. CUTE. WONDERFUL. Oh, Ron. Everything about this fic is marvellous. The relationship between Ron and the reader, the realisation, the meddling. It was perfect, so so perfect.

birthday - @lupinsdarling - FLUFFY AND CHAOTIC AND I LOVE IT. Why oh why doesn't Ron get more love? Why doesn't this fic have more attention? It’s so fluffy and Ron is so bloody cute that my heart physically hurt while reading this. It hurt because it was so PURE.

Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley:

Girls in one room - @eleven-times-lively - Hermione x Reader - oh my god I snorted at Ron, I love it. And the fluff? There’s so much fluff, I can't deal with the fluff. If you’re going to read a Hermione fic, read this one!

just as lovely - @vanillann - this is so pure! it’s so wonderful, and the relationship between Hermione and the reader is so cute! 

Hug ur friends drabble - @firewhisky-kisses - Ginny x Reader - it’s the cutest thing I’ve read, oh my god, is it cute! I love everything about this, Steph is so talented! But I go into that further down.

Neville Longbottom:

Never the Bride - @obsessedwithrandomthings - Dee’s fic reads as a rom com, it’s so brilliantly done. By the time you're at the end, you feel as if you’ve just watched a two hour rom com and need to squeal into your pillow because of the feels. I love this fic.

Moonlight Swim - @kalimagik - Neville. Oh, Neville. This fic stole my heart and it won't give me it back. The idea of a moonlight swim with Neville? Here for it. And the confession? *chefs kiss* incredible. 

Healing - @firewhisky-kisses - I cannot put into words how much I loved this fic,. Steph is just so incredibly talented and writes Neville so wonderfully. Healing is the first fic of two and that second part had me in happy tears because Neville deserves the world. I go back and reread this a lot when I need to boost my emotions, so thank you for this Steph.

Good News - @peachesandpinks - Let me explain something here, Ron repeatedly and without fail hypes up fic writers to the point where she makes me cry happy tears at her comments. Her writing (and I'm going to swear now) is fucking brilliant. I love it, I adore it. Ren has a way with words that I only hope to master. This fic? Marvellous, magnificent, wonderful - pick a synonym and go wild. It’s so sweet and wholesome - what more could you possibly want other than to be on her taglist?

Tally Marks - @obsessedwithrandomthings NEVILLE WITH TATTOOS PEOPLE! NEVILLE! WITH! TATTOOS! Do I need to say anymore? Yes? Okay. Dee is a fantastic writer but she writes Neville perfectly. We have had many conversations about her love for Neville and her love for him shines through in this fic. She writes with such care and I love reading everything.

Draco Malfoy: 

The Purist - @mxl-foy - This series is so good. Like, so good, that if it was a physical book, it would be sat on my shelves. I would religiously check her account every time I came onto Tumblr to see if a new chapter was posted, and if there was, you best believe there was a happy dance. It’s so incredibly thought out and plotted. And there’s going to be a part two! It’s so great!

Notes - @malfoys-demigod - This is so sweet! I live for fluffy Draco as you all know if you read my Draco fics, but I adore reading fluffy Draco as well. This fic is so adorable, I love it! 

Always so Cold - @teheharrypotter - Five times Draco gave you his sweater and the one time you accepted. I love these sort of fics, they’re my indulgence fics. Jealous!Draco is one of my favourite things to read as well. and he’s so dramatic. I couldn't ask for more in a fic, definitely one of my favourites. 

the distance between us - @sdicapriox - This is a genius idea. I love this idea, and I love how it was executed. Almost 10k words of brilliance. I love the reader and her first letter to Draco and her entire personality - fish funeral? genius. I really like how you portray Draco and the effort you put into his internal monologue, it really is something excellent. The ending as well, I won't spoil, I just urge people to read this. 

Heartbreak - @slytherinprincess03 - you have to have a little bit of angst in a Draco fic rec right? This fic has it but the ending is perfect and fluffy, gah! I love it!. Not to mention, Draco is such a gentlemen in it. I can't wait to see what else you write, lovely!!

Hardly A Date - @fanficflaneuse - I love this fic. I love it so much. I tend not to read sibling!reader but I adored this. The relationship between Harry and the reader, and then Draco and the reader. It’s amazing. I could rant for hours and hours about how much I love her work - her series are out of this world and she captures Draco’s character perfectly. 

George Weasley:

Red with Rage - @kalimagik - AGH ANOTHER OF MAGGIE’S FICS. The prank? Genius, and that end line - incredible. Her characterisation of the twins is so good, I love reading her fics. She deserves more than 300 followers! So if you don’t already follow her, go now!

When Everything Changes - @strawberriesonsummer - Based on the song Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. This is so pure, it’s so fluffy. George is adorable in this! I can't wait to read what else you write for George!

Come back to you - @dreamer821 - JJ, JJ, JJ. Ugh, this fic is a work of art and George is so bloody caring. I mention this a lot but the relationship between George and the reader is so important to get right and JJ does it flawlessly. My heart hurts for this fic and that last line, LOVE IT. I live for how JJ writes George, I could read her work all day. GO READ HER STUFF, YOU WON’T REGRET IT.

Fred Weasley:

The Right Bird - @dreamer821 - I’m not only just involving this because it was used in my writing challenge but oh my days, it is so wonderful. The relationship between Fred and the reader is just *chefs kiss* perfect. JJ has such a way with words and I just love how she depicts Fred.

Lost, are we? - @prongsies - I think I’m going to make my way through your masterlist because I loved this so much. The teasing was so cute, and Fred helping her at the beginning? Ahhhhh brilliant. 

Watermelon Sugar - @prongsies - COMPLETING THE FINEST SERVICE TO THE HP FANDOM AND WRITING FICS INSPIRED BY FINE LINE - I SALUTE YOU. This is so good, so so good. The references to the song are used so well and that little bit of fluff at the end? Amazing. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to put the song on repeat now...

Percy Weasley: 

Nothing We Can’t Forgive -  @firewhisky-kisses - This series really does showcase Steph’s talent. She’s an incredible writer and this fic deserves all the attention it can possibly get. It’s the first Percy fic I’ve ever read and I’m already planning a reread. Steph captures Percy’s character flawlessly whilst also depicting his healing in a manner that is so relatable. I’ve linked the masterlist because once you start reading, you won't want to stop. 

Sight is Relative - @hufflefluff-writer - This fic has a blind reader which I think makes it all the more beautiful. Amelia’s characterisation of Percy really is wonder, she captures him brilliantly. The fic after they eat is quite literally breathtaking. The description of colours, the dialogue - it’s fantastic.

Hufflepuff!Reader Headcanons - @soft-nerdy-wolf - I loved this from the beginning where the reader was already helping Percy out of his comfort zone by disregarding curfew. Then the further, I read, I loved more and more because of how fluffy it is! And the confession? So so sweet! This needs more attention!

Bill Weasley: 

Estrellita - @fanficflaneuse and @hufflefluff-writer - It is a fic inspired by the Sound of Music, what more could you possibly want? It’s so delicate and incredibly written by two extremely talented writers. The relationship between Bill and the reader = adorable. The whole series is so fantastic, I’ve linked part one and you’ll find the rest on Amelia’s masterlist, which you’ll need because you’ll be reading the entire thing in one sitting, I swear.

Charlie Weasley:

As Family the First Time - @kalimagik - you’ll have noticed that Maggie features a lot here but that’s because she is so damned talented that I adore most of her fics. The first Charlie Weasley fic I read and I fell in love. It’s just so fluffy and humorous with features from the whole Weasley family. Basically, by the end of it I was ready to raise dragons in Romania with a certain Weasley.

Meeting the Weasleys - @soft-nerdy-wolf - This made smile all sorts of stupid. From the beginning, I wanted to own Hepaestus (the perfect name for a dragon in my opinion - Zeus’ own forger, amazing.) And the fluff with Charlie straight after? I love, love, love it as well as the fun relationship they have. And the pranks with Fred and George? Ah! I just love.

Dragons blurb - @hufflefluff-writer - I know it’s only a blurb but oh my god, I loved it, I love it. Jealous!Charlie and a buttload of fluff - the best to boost your mood.

Cedric Diggory:

A Ghost Story - @wondernimbus - So beautifully haunting. Ysa has a way with words that make you feel as if you're physically there, living the fic alongside the characters. There aren't really any words to describe how talented Ysa is - all I can do is urge to read her masterlist and discover for yourself. 

My Boys - @potterverseimagine - Cedric and dogs - I am in love. This fic is so sweet and pure and playful. Playful Cedric is so great omg and this fic is full to the brim with it. I just... ah I love this so much. AND HE’S ALIVE. I LOVE FICS WHERE HE’S ALIVE. Thank you for this!!

It’s a Date - @angelinathebook​ - Lena, this is so good. You need to write more Cedric! Ah, I hate those boys so much but I love Cedric!! This is so good! Cedric needs more love 100% - if you haven't read this already, you need to read it now!!

Sirius Black: 

Lost Time - @obsessedwithrandomthings - Reader standing up for who she loves against Bellatrix? Yes, we love that. Slow burn romance with Sirius? I love that even more. Dee never fails to astound me when she writes Sirius, and I know she won’t fail to astound you too. Seriously (lol), go through Dee’s masterlist, read her works, you won't regret it. She’s the loveliest.

Our Godson - @nebulablakemurphy - Christina is so talented. The letters!!! Are so good!!! AND WHEN THEY FINALLY MEET? My heart! Christina, it's as if you broke it and then rebuilt it again all in the span of 2.8k words especially with that ending. I love this fic, and you will love this fic. 

Curiosity - @siriusly-the-best-gryffindor​ - I don’t know what else to say that I haven't already said in my reblog but I love this fic. I am heavily pierced and heavily tattooed and I love seeing a reader as the same. I love all of this fic, it 100% needs more love!

The Jimmy Jab Games - @im-a-writer-right​ - A Sirius fic inspired by Brooklyn-99. I loved every single chapter, it made me so happy. And that final chapter, I was smiling like a fool throughout. Sirius is a dream through this, and that bet? I love! I’ve linked the masterlist because you won’t want to move as you read.  

Secrets and fears - @firewhisky-kisses​ - Steph does it again with the masterpieces. Honestly, I squeal a little whenever I see her in my notifications with a new fic because everything she writes is stellar, and this is no exception. If you’re going to read anything tonight, let it be her masterlist. If you haven't read her latest Sirius piece as well, you are sorely missing out. 

Remus Lupin:

Protect - @obsessedwithrandomthings - Oh man, this one hurt. There are so many feels to this fic, so many layers. The enemies to lovers? Amazing. That ending as well - so fucking good. Like everything Dee writes, so fucking good.

Sleeping Beauty - @poppin-potter - This is adorable. There’s no other words for it. The relationship between the reader and Remus is so cute, I was smiling all the way through it. Not to mention the relationship between the reader and the Marauders, so bloody good. And that ending? It was so peaceful, like I was reading and I was like yeah, I would’t mind a piece of that.

Pain of reality - @heloisedaphnebrightmore - I had to involve some Remus angst, and oh my word. You smashed my heart into pieces in the beginning and had put it back together by the end. Heloise is an incredible writer, so so talented. This is a Remus fic you cannot miss out on!

Bruise and Scars - @peachesandpinks - Soulmate AU and Marauders Era Remus. What more could you possibly want? It’s poetic. If you look to my Neville section, you’ll see why I love Ren’s writing so much but let me tell you, I am a SUCKER for Remus. Always have been, always will be. You will not regret reading this fic or any of Ren’s fics.

Nights like These - @teheharrypotter - another fic in A Very Harry Potter Summer and the description in this fic is so good! The way the summer night described has you feeling every moment of it. And the conversation between Remus and the reader is so beautiful, where they touch upon their grief. It’s a wonderfully written piece of work.

James Potter:

Numb Love - @heloisedaphnebrightmore - Unrequited love is like my guilty pleasure because I love the angst of it, and this fic. Oh this fic, it destroyed me and I loved every single minute of it. How this fic doesn't have more notes, I have no clue. It’s a masterpiece of emotions. 

Reading between the lines - @approved-by-dentists - ohhh this fic is great, I love the flirtation between the reader and James in the beginning all the way to end. It was one of the first James fics I read (I’m late to the party, I’m well aware) and omg I love it. Just go read the fic!

Book-thief - @wondernimbus - I’m going to repeat my words from earlier, there are no words to describe Ysa’s talent. James Potter and a bookshop and I was sold. She captures his character so brilliantly. Just... go binge her work.

Summer revelations - @pregnant-piggy - I keep saying this about all the fics I put on here but I love this fic! I love it! First, I love James. Second, I need those muffins - seriously, where can I get these muffins? And their realisations and confessions! It’s such a pure fic, I’m absolutely in love with your portrayal of James.

Newt Scamander:

Cheeky Niffler - @eleven-times-lively - reader is an archaeologist - from that moment, I was sold. I loved reading this, I loved the idea and I love Niffler as it is! I always need more Newt in my life and this is perfect.

Online Love - @strawberriesonsummer​ - Modern AU! I really loved this idea, I love the idea of Newt with a phone and ringing the wrong number. It’s such a wonderful fic, I haven't read Newt in so long so this was such a lovely one to read! I can’t wait to read what other Newt fics are posted!

desire - @blisfvll​ - I am a huge fan of their works; their Draco fics are incredible and their Newt fics are just the same. This had me feeling all sorts of emotions, and I loved every second of it.  

You stared Newt right in the eyes. - @fantasticnewtimagines​ - I didn't know what the title to this was so I just type out the first sentence, I hope you don't mind! This is a delicious piece of angst with a lovely, happy ending. I adore this piece so much because it conveys so much. I love it!!

MARVEL:

I want to take a moment to appeal to the followers of mine who also enjoy reading marvel. @shaynawrites23​ has started to write some marvel fics and even entered my writing challenge and her fics definitely deserve some attention! She’s a wonderful writer and her fics are so cute! If you’re a fan of Bucky, you’ll love these fics!

The Voyage So Far: Enies Lobby

east blue (1 | 2) || alabasta (1 | 2) || skypiea || water 7 || enies lobby || thriller bark || paramount war (1 | 2) || fishman island || punk hazard || dressrosa (1 | 2) || whole cake island || wano (1 | 2)

this is still one of my very favorite nami panels. i think she’s really great through all of water 7 and enies lobby in general, actually, even though she isn’t really one of the characters in focus for a lot of it- like zoro and sanji, she stays pretty steadfast and very badass even though everything that happens, and never gives up on robin for a moment despite being one of the ‘weaker’ members of the crew. and it’s always fun to see her playing with lightning.

one of my favorite jokes from the first half or so of enies lobby is the strawhats both being completely unsurprised that luffy charges in ahead of them as soon as they arrive AND being able to find him immediately by following the explosions. they know him so well. 

luffy’s never been scared of dying, going all the way back to when he told coby he was fine with dying for his dream back in chapter two or three. that conversation is what his exchange with blueno here reminds me of- blueno asks him how long he intends to keep fighting, and luffy says until he dies, like there’s nothing to it.

it’s always been a trait of his to face death unflinching with a grin, so long as it’s for the sake of something he cares about, be it his crew or his brother or his dream, and i just really like that about him.  

i’ll go into it in the dressrosa post too, but i think it’s really impressive just how long oda held off on giving luffy any sort of significant power-up. he gets his first big power boost in the whole series here, forty volumes in. i’ve always liked that oda is very conservative with power boosts like this, because it both keeps the series’ powerscaling in check and makes the times it does happen much weightier. this is a monumental moment, and it feels like it.

also, i love the way gear two is drawn pre-timeskip, especially with the steam. it looks very cool and atmospheric.

i really like how united the strawhat crew feels throughout enies lobby, after all the internal turmoil and discord of water seven. even though the matter of usopp leaving the crew is still unresolved, they’ll all together once more, on the same page, and fully united in the goal of saving robin, whatever consequences it might bring. 

the tree of knowledge has such a cool design- it looks massive, and even more than that, it looks old. you look at that tree and you know its been there for easily thousands of years. its seen entire eras of history, and it would be priceless even without the countless books stored inside it.

and then it burns.

i’m so endlessly sad about the tragedy that is robin’s relationship with her mother. they never even got to see each other until their world was ending, and even then only for a couple minutes.

olvia is a very interesting character, because she’s someone who chose her dream over the people she loved. that’s not an inherently good or bad choice, but it is a choice she made, and it’s what led to the ending she and robin had to have. i’ve wondered a lot what might have happened if she chose the other way, if she never left or if she came back sooner or if she chose to flee the buster call with robin, and how different (and almost certainly better) robin’s life would have been if she had.

in a way, olvia reminds me a lot of kouzuki toki. they both die in order to fling a light of knowledge and hope into the future, and they both send their children away and choose to stay behind to choke on ash for the sake of a better tomorrow. 

i didn’t really notice until putting these panels together, but a lot of things burn in enies lobby. ohara burns, and the pluton plans and the world government flag, and enies lobby itself, and at the end, the going merry burns, too. if you extend it back to water seven, there’s the galley-la headquarters, too. in an arc that deals so much with the preservation and destruction of history and knowledge, it’s a fitting motif. 

the world government flag burning is still to this day one of the most striking panels out of a series full of them, in my opinion. in one act, the strawhats proclaim their absolute defiance against the world government, and their willingness to make enemies of the greatest power in the world for the sake of their friend.

it’s also another one of those moments that’s interesting to think about in the context of luffy’s past. it was a ship flying that same flag that shot sabo down, and while luffy wasn’t there to see it, i don’t think he’s oblivious to that fact, especially given how he says just before this he understands robin’s enemies perfectly.

dadan told him and ace that there was nothing they could do against the whole world, and luffy went and did it anyways.

sometimes i just think about how scary it must have been for robin, someone who’s been weighed down by the shackles of her past with no escape in sight for so very long, to open herself up and let herself hope, for life and freedom and a dream that’s always been out of reach. 

franky has a lot of really great moments between this arc and water seven- his conversation with usopp as usopp is working on merry and his talk with robin on the sea train are two others. it’s almost impressive how quickly he becomes an immensely likable character once we start getting to know him, given how he’s first introduced as an absolute piece of shit.

his burning of the pluton plans is a favorite of mine, and i think it might be because, like so many people before and after him, he’s choosing here to stake all his hopes on the strawhats, on luffy’s ability to pull off the impossible and on robin’s goodness. when robin’s only ever been chased and hated and called a demon by the world, franky chooses to trust her and luffy with the legacy his dad died for, and neither of them let him down.

monster point looks SO FUCKING TERRIFYING in enies lobby, and i LOVE it. look at that. franky is seven and half feet tall, and in front of monster point he’s tiny. monster point is huge, and dead-eyed, and a force of absolute destruction. i do kind of wish we got to see chopper go completely feral like this more often. he deserves to be terrifying!

i love how much FAITH all the rest of the strawhats continue to have in usopp throughout enies lobby. he left the crew and they really would have a right to be angry at him if they chose to, but it doesn’t even seem to cross any of their minds. they’re just happy he’s okay, and they include him again without missing a beat, because he’s still their friend and they know down to their bones they can trust him, even after everything. 

i’ve always really loved zoro and kaku’s little moment of post-battle banter here- zoro relays paulie’s message about cp9 being fired, kaku says he’s out of a job, zoro tells him to try the zoo, and kaku cracks up.

it feels very real to me for whatever reason, and i think part of it ties back into how well one piece handles morality with its characters- zoro and kaku are genuinely pretty similar people who get along decently, it just happens that they wound up on opposite sides. there are series where you’d never see moments like this due to the lines between good and bad being so firmly drawn, and i love how one piece blurs those lines so much they may as well not exist a lot of the time.

this is the other sequence, along with luffy climbing the drum rockies barehanded, that always makes me physically cringe to look at. it looks so painful. robin is so nearly powerless here, but not quite- she can still buy time for her crew to catch up, even if it’s only seconds, even if she risks shattering her teeth or even her jaw in the process. she’s spent so long giving up and has only just started daring to hope- she’s not about to go gentle.

there aren’t many panels that give me catharsis like this one. there really aren’t.

oda’s villains are usually complicated and awful and often a little admirable, if only for how clever or how terrifyingly powerful they are, but every now and then he comes up with someone who’s just pathetic and cowardly and pointlessly cruel. spandam is like this, obviously, and so is orochi, and the celestial dragons, and i’d argue flampe from whole cake island as well. and there’s nothing like seeing characters like them- weak, cruel people so assured in their own power and rightness- get obliterated.

one of the things i really like about enies lobby is that nobody really gets sidelined- everybody gets multiple chances to shine. luffy, usopp, and obviously robin are the most in focus, obviously, but zoro, sanji, nami, chopper, and even franky all get a bunch of individual awesome moments. oda’s ability to handle his cast satisfyingly is consistently really impressive (if sometimes strained in huge ensemble arcs like dressrosa or wano) and it really shows here, i think.

i just really love the entire climax of enies lobby. much like the arc as a whole, it just feels triumphant, even though the situation is extremely dire. luffy unlocking gear three, robin’s cuffs getting unlocked, usopp shooting spandam and the marines all the way from the tower of justice- it’s all just good, a long chain of much-needed victories and catharses, and it feels very good to read.

i’ll always be impressed by just how much characterization oda manages to give merry, a boat. she’s only really a character in water seven and the end of enies lobby, only about two chapters of which she actually speaks in. and yet i don’t think you’d find a single one piece fan who disagrees that merry’s death is easily one of the most heartwrenching in the entire series.

i love the reactions of the strawhats to robin’s thanks. they’ve just gone through hell to save her, most of them are beat to shit and they all risked their lives, and yet they all just smile, or brush it off, because to them there’s nothing else they could have done. it’s all worth it, so long as they got her back, so long as she’s safe and happy.

merry’s funeral just hits me in the chest every single time i read it. it’s tragic, of course, but there’s also something almost lovely about it, something peaceful about her getting to go out on her own terms, carrying her crew to safety one last time, defying every rule of the universe to do it. just like a strawhat pirate.

oda’s ability to communicate emotion through expressions really comes through here, too. merry has the only lines in this scene, fitting for her death in the limelight, but the shots of every other crewmate’s face let us know at a glance just what they’re all feeling and just how strongly they’re feeling it.

you know, i’d forgotten we only learn the name of the new world after enies lobby. we only get proper exposition about the revolutionary army and the yonkou here, too, despite them being set up since loguetown and jaya (or alabasta, or even chapter one if you count from shanks’s introduction) respectively. oda’s ability to parse out exposition and explanation so we always have just the right amount of information is really impressive- we always have more questions, but we also always have the feeling that those questions have answers, and that sooner or later they’ll be revealed.

points at shanks. i just think he’s neat.

it’s my opinion that one of the great joys of one piece is seeing luffy and the crew rise up in the world, and seeing them gain more and more notoriety. i love nothing they do ever happens in a vacuum- everything has impacts, and there are always outside eyes watching, and often those impacts are things that they never could have predicted.

ace and blackbeard is still, i think, definitely one of the coolest looking fights in the whole series. it’s not all that often we get to see two people with extremely flashy and showy abilities go all-out against each other, and the resulting fireworks are still really something to behold, despite how badly it all ends. 

[crimsonxe]

Y’know if trying to not keep an argument going, prob best to not @ the person cause even with the slash it still popped a notif for me.

Now to start with while I do take any pronouns, I do take issue with your assuming a gender in order to bolster yourself. So for the sake of anything to do with you, go ahead and restrict your usage to they/them only.

“Try killing, maiming, a calling TERRORISTS/EXTREMISTS isn’t bad.” Which I fucking stand by. The moment ANY damn cause crosses into taking aim at INNOCENT civilians they aren’t part of a cause anymore, they’re just damn terrorists that deserve a jail cell with the key thrown away. Faunus overall are shown in a sympathetic light, even fucking Sienna is given a neutral-positive light being the “controlled violence” comparison to Adam’s psychopathic relishing in killing others TERRORIST vein. Ilia is redeemed after fully being given a sympathetic light, because she came close to crossing the line, but didn’t. Sienna’s entire thing is going after specific targets that are part of the oppression and not innocent civilians, which she directly rails on Adam about in v5 to really try to ram into your dumbass type’s heads that refuse to see the point being made about EXTREMISM with a lesser one about CO-OPTION of a cause. Cause that’s what fucking Adam did, CO-OPTED a cause to boost himself higher; he either never gave a shit about the faunus or once getting the first bits of praise for it then stopped giving a shit about them depending on if one wants to give him any shred of decency or not. This is a GOOD idea, because once again someone crosses into going after INNOCENT damn people and they aren’t for a damn cause anymore; just a damn terrorist. You think otherwise, get some goddamn mental health services help to get your damn mind straight; rather than condoning fucking terrorism.

The Tifa section:

Um no at best one could make the argument they’re on the same damn level. There’s no “short skirts” just skirts, unless you’re trying to say that all skirts are inherently sexualizing; which just goes towards you being an utter moron. Like that is a seriously fucked way of thinking. 

Also “no pants under”, either this is about athletic shorts or panties; regardless what they have in actuality is a void space. There is no panty shots or detail there purposefully, because they made the choice to not do fanservice.

“Frozen tundra”, funny how if your braindead ass bothered to pay attention to or watch the show you’d know this exact thing is covered via their aura giving them a layer of protection against the cold.

Your dumbass putting up the v4-6 outfits as “provocative”, like did you grow up in some damn nunnery or something? Blake’s at most has midriff; Weiss’s is a damn dress; Yang’s has a coat, scarf of sorts, and pants covering anything of service territory; and Ruby’s is just her usual. There’s no camera down shots on Yang’s tits or upskirt shots (which would be pointless anyway cause of the voidspace put there). Also have you ever thought about I don’t know the ironic humor of having the ICE QUEEN complaining about being COLD? You’re truly just as bad as the dumbasses that yell about how they’re covering them up and shrinking Yang’s tits, just from the other side. Did Miles say something dumb? Sure. Is it deserving of some dumbass getting riled the fuck up like its some massive issue? Absolutely not. Especially when there’s ones out there basically framing Tifa as only about her tits, while ignoring her entire character.

Actually Twitter is built on the exact opposite idea, pushing people to post about whatever floats in their head at the time it does. From the start its always nudged users towards doing that exact thing, the main thing that’s changed is a nutjob shitbag being at the helm of it allowing the racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, and right-wingers run wild cause he’s secretly one of them.

Oh yes, a normal body pillow that doesn’t show anything but a normal character art.

Also you’re absolutely full of shit on this “Yang always has her tits out” bullshit. No, she isn’t wearing some goddamn nun garb hiding away her chest; but she’s definitely not having them fucking out either. She wears what amounts to a tank top, y’know like an athletic/sporty type would; which doesn’t show a damn thing. And in v7+ its even furthered cause she wears close to a damn jumpsuit like a fighter pilot would wear.

“Losing more and more clothing” WHERE? This is complete bullshit and shows that your ass doesn’t have a damn clue what you’re talking about. Blake has a full-body catsuit w/ jacket; Yang has a pilot jumpsuit; Weiss has an Artoria Pendragon-esque female knight getup going; and Ruby has her standard top and skirt in the same style as her others. They’ve ADDED more to the outfits as time went on.

More like sensible person looking at designs that aren’t at all sexualizing in a series that does everything it can to avoid sexualizing its characters; instead showing them fucking respect. Also a person that has seen actual sexualizing via anime/manga and being one of many reasons for abandoning that medium.

Oh Carmine the character from a side-game and novel that is not only over age, but supposed to be eye catching to pull Coco’s attention? A character that also wears a jacket with said chainmail shirt to cover anything. Once again your ass is showing as puritanical.

Once again not a damn tit or ass cheek is out, so you’re literally talking out of your ass with 100% grade bullshit.

There’s 3 factions shown in the show in regards to the faunus struggle and 1 outside those.

1. Ghira that believes in DIPLOMACY and TALKING to achieve equality and respect. Which regardless of your moronic ass’s idiocy is a VALID way of approaching the situation. Its shown to NOT have worked in the past, leading to

2. Sienna that believed in CONTROLLED VIOLENCE. Self-defense and going after targets that were tied to oppressing the faunus, but staying away from INNOCENT people. I don’t particularly agree with this aside from the self-defense, but its still within the realm of activism. Its also given respect by Ghira by his stating how he and Sienna may not have agreed in approach to things, but he still respects her and their people’s decision to turn to her instead of him.

3. Adam that doesn’t believe in the cause either after a point or ever and just sees it as a means to gain power, control, and ego boosting for himself. One that relishes in TERRORISTIC VIOLENCE that involves going after INNOCENT damn people; because he’s a psychopath shitbag. One that is shown crying not over comrades dying but instead them not being able to kill more. This is NOT a valid form of activism and is just TERRORISM. If your dumbass thinks otherwise you need to be on a damn watchlist. He and his sect are specifically the ones treated as villains. 

Both Ghira and Sienna are shown with flaws in their running things (Ghira was too slow and Sienna led to Adam); which is where Ilia, Blake, and the new generation is going to have to figure something out with Ghira’s input  as he’s been through shit. The only one that’s put as bad/wrong/evil is Adam and that’s exactly how it fucking should be.

Blake asks people of Menagerie to go to Haven WITH weapons to try to stop the TERRORIST SECT to avoid having them become the symbol of faunus rights struggle for equality. Cause they don’t want to be seen as TERRORISTS for good damn reason. Blake repeatedly mentions how she doesn’t have the answers overall, which is damn fitting given how complicated of a thing it fucking is.

Hbomb is a bad-faith know-nothing lucky he didn’t get sued for slander (in essentially calling M&K pedos) two-faced (Monty was horrible and his writing was shit; until Monty passed then all of sudden he’s a god and the only one that can do the story remotely good) shitbag that gets little to nothing right and even the little particles that were anything, are things the FNDM had already brought up as FLAWS. Few think that the WF storyline is the greatest thing ever, but its far from what your type try to paint it as. Its a commentary on EXTREMISM and CO-OPTION of causes leading to it.

Here’s a newsflash dumbass: Those types were already in that mindset, they just saw something to try to run with. And your type didn’t help a damn thing, cause you bought into it and now fucking ALIGN WITH THEM. Cause they’re the ones bitching about RWBY not boot-licking a fascist genocidal general and the LGBT+ rep they dared do. Alongside that they get to take the WF bullshit you people spew about and add it to their own shit-spewing, cause they don’t care as long as its an attack on RT & RWBY. You’re just their mirror and you don’t even realize it, which is truly sad af; and applies to far-leftists in general.

More like:

Ilia a confirmed lesbian

Coco a confirmed lesbian

Scarlet confirmed mlm

Nolan confirmed mlm

May confirmed trans

Terra confirmed wlw married w/ kid

Saphron confirmed wlw married w/ kid

Blake confirmed bi MAIN

Yang confirmed wlw MAIN

As an Ilia fan, go fuck your damn self. Yes, she was going with the cause because as she says “she didn’t know what else to do” but turn to Adam’s sect as the solution. The only thing she knew about Adam and Blake was him being her ex and her being branded a traitor by him. She also repeatedly went for dissuading tactics when being chased by Blake, instead of ever directly attacking her; and practically begged her to leave to not get dragged into the mess of things going on in the WF. Because she was actively trying to not have to fight Blake. Her mentioning her feelings for Blake was a direct fire-back at Blake’s thinking that she knew her, when clearly she didn’t catch on to that detail. She’s a girl torn because the path she doesn’t like being on is the one seemingly getting results, but she knows its wrong. But your dipshit ass didn’t bother taking all that in, likely cause you don’t give a shit about LGBT+ or her as a character.

The fuck are you even on about with this bullshit about Yang. At no damn point does Yang a damn bit of any of this shit. Yang is one of the people that sees and respects Blake as a person with an opinion; repeatedly shown listening and compromising with her any time they aren’t fully on the same page. Yes, she was hurt with Blake running; which she’s fucking allowed to be as her feelings are just as damn valid as Blake’s. Once she gets perspective thanks to Weiss, she welcomes/accepts Blake back into the group. Also since you clearly failed to grasp what was going on: Blake didn’t go to Menagerie because her parents might be in danger; she ran to protect Yang and the others from being near her as she sees herself as a poison & as a walking danger zone. She went to Menagerie to try to find her own mental footing again after the major trauma that was The Fall and to recuperate. God forbid Yang be a hurt teen girl that has a storm of emotions going on inside the girl she has feelings for that even she doesn’t quite know how to define who in her eyes disappeared with little chance of seeing her again. Yang wanted her there with her both because she was suffering through a major shift in her life and also wanted to be there for Blake; which is undoubtedly a part your moron ass either forgot about or ignored. With all the storm of emotions going on and beneath Yang’s front of not caring about Blake, was a girl that was head-over heels and wanting to have her around for both of them to lean on each other in support.

Oh do go absolutely fuck your damn self. Yang is one of the best goddamn character in the show and is the exact damn opposite of “shitty”. She’s someone that will literally sacrifice anything of her damn self in order to protect others, who buries her own issues and vulnerabilities to not burden others, and who even with a storm of emotions STILL fucking cared about Blake. She’s also a fucking teenage girl that had just gone through a major fucking trauma and woke to the girl she’d do anything for (as per Armed and Ready’s lyrics) had disappeared.

Um if anything Adam’s death is one of many reasons they didn’t immediately get together in v6 or even 7. And y’know fuck that bastard, if I thought the two were ready for that relationship upgrade I would’ve rooted for them to dance of his watery grave as they confessed and got together.

Yang didn’t do a single shred of abuse towards Blake ever and your ass suggesting otherwise really fucking shows you don’t have a single fucking clue what you’re talking about. In the barn Yang’s mind is clearly in a bad space, not helped by the Apathy’s influence; and she’s struggling with how much to let Blake in again. Cause All That Matters more than presents how hurt she was and how big of a thing it is to let Blake in and risk being demolished all over again.

Also yeah, it happened this year cause they were doing what Monty stated should be done with all romances including LGBT+ in EARNING it and putting the time into it. Have a strangers to friends to close friends to close friends (?) to separated yet pining to reunited to repairing their bond to awkwardly not knowing whether to risk going near the “friend/romance line” that any LGBT+ person would know especially well to finally entering into an official relationship in the most gorgeous scene in the show w/ a wlw song written specifically for it and them. Also it fully lines up with Renora’s relationship build where they didn’t kiss till v7 and now are in the phase where Nora has to figure out herself as an individual, before going into anything with Ren; and BB got their kiss in v9 with no need of said arc as they already did that in 4-5 with their separate arcs.

Um how about fuck no and your ass needs to grow up to know what actual romance is built on. The Sun wink + blush scene was 1 scene and in front of a stadium of people with nothing of substance between the two otherwise; just a shallow teen fleeting thing that goes out the window when the shit hits the fan showing it as shallow thing it was. Meanwhile you have Blake and Yang forming an emotional bond; Blake being comfortable with Yang; Blake noticing Yang in a room; Yang showing off to Blake (especially in a “too far” scene of Yang tying a cherry stem to show Blake); Yang & her offer of her first dance being the whole ass reason of Blake coming to the dance at all with the wink; Yang being directly contrasted against Adam by Blake which goes to the two being in the same vein of romantic interest in Blake’s mind; Yang hearing Blake is in danger and being the sole one to show up against Adam the romantic ex forever tying the two together; the two thinking of each other even while separated; time for them slowing and the rest of the world fading away as the two came face to face again in v5; a gesture by Blake to Yang that is motion for motion matching to one shown by Barb and Arryn their VA’s as showing interest; the two easily flowing back into sync with each other; the adorable af interaction before Blake runs off to the Comm Tower in v6 w/ Yang’s soft “Go” and Blake’s hands as paws as she runs off; Yang pushing back against Adam’s verbally abusing Blake during the fight with him; Adam’s jealous “what does she even see in you?!” aimed at Yang; after the fight Yang rushing to hold Blake who says she’ll keep her promise to not up and leave again; Yang literally having gay panic at Blake’s new hair cut and Blake blushing as a result; the two being awkward cause they don’t know how the other feels are both traumatized girls w/ baggage aplenty thus not wanting to go near the “friend/romance line”; Yang worrying about Blake seeing her as lesser in v8 for going with ORJ; their reunion that screams intimate; Blake going absolutely feral at Yang falling into the voidspace; Blake tackling Yang when they run across her in the Ever After; Blake making pun jokes with a very clear into Yang tone to her voice as the two’s hands start to reach for the other; Blake blushing at Yang’s cheerleading for her; and finally the two’s confession scene that is again the most gorgeous scene in the entire damn show w/ a song specifically for them as a wlw song by wlw artists. So no BB was given the meat of a mature relationship that is shared in Renora and in the limited time that Arkos had, instead of shallow immature aspects. They did have similar vein things but completely different manner of how they were done and being AFTER the substantive part was put in place; rather than the other way around. Yang is also the ONLY ONE that brings out Blake's original pre-Adam self, the cheery flirty girl. Also I’m not going to hide away or shy away from spoilers cause I really don’t give a shit when it comes to your bitch ass. The cherry on top is that both VA's for them are on the LGBT+ spectrum, Arryn being bi and Barb being "not straight".

Funny, cause every single person I’ve seen within LGBT+ spaces that sees that scene says the exact opposite and its actually even pulled people into checking the show out and loving BB as a result. Hell even HTDM had to give a shred of credit to the scene along with their usual bullshit. So yeah, I’m going to wager that you have few to no actual LGBT+ friends or if you actually do they likely wanted something else thus shitting on BB as a result. While everyone else LOVES both them and their confession scene. The ones I’ve actually seen shitting on it are the homophobes, sexists, and incel shitbags; so congrats on once again aligning your ass with them.

Except that the LGBT+ characters aren’t trash, but congrats on being a homophobic shitbag without a clue on LGBT+ and likely has no damn right to speak towards it at all.

Again its called actually giving a shit about your LGBT+ romance and EARNING it not trying to rush to have it. Also about substance which Sun has none of, but clearly your ignorant ass has no clue what goes into mature romance and is stuck in the immature zone. Even though BB has its own moments of flirting, winks, chemistry that completely overshadows Sun, and has actual substance to it.

Its almost like and hear me out, Blake being there means more to Yang than the others. Like y’know as if Yang has romantic feelings for Blake and thus is hurt that she isn’t there. Because Yang is a TEENAGE TRAUMATIZED GIRL WITH ABANDONMENT ISSUES. Its also very telling that you don’t include the bit where Yang also mentions wanting to be there for Blake, probably cause it does that pesky thing of shattering your bullshit.

The laser pointer was early volume meta, but not at all shocking you’d try to spin it up as different. Even though Yang has at numerous points both shown sympathy for the faunus, but also has directly called out racism towards them.

She also doesn’t “trauma dump”, she talks about her past as a link to Blake’s current and her understanding where’s she’s at mentally. Its also not at all about racism (look at that once again your ass showing how little you know or pay attention), that entire thing is about Blake driving herself into the ground over finding Torchwick and the WF to stop them from launching an attack/scheme; while Yang is getting her to not stop but slow down to take care of herself. Instead of her killing herself from lack of sleep or stressing out. Actually Yang does solve the problem cause Blake does slow down, does relax, and is noticeably healthier for it later. But again you’d actually have to watch the show to know that.

Oh look another case of you not knowing shit: Terra and Saphron are WIVES not girlfriends.They’re also there for a few episodes as supporting characters, so your moronic ass trying to suggest them as anything more is just telling of how little your ass has any ground to speak about LGBT+.

Dumbass the South Park reference is the thing that Mica fucking spun, the whiteboard incident that she talked about once upon a time ago; is that. But again that’d require you to have what you’re very clearly lacking: a brain.

More like breaking the idea that its you vs. a white dude; Miles is half-white and half-Latino. You ignoring that actually could be seen as your ass being racist towards him in your efforts to go after him.

Nah, more like the source was a twitch stream that has since gone away in part by one of the idiots involved who btw is a friend of Mica’s no less. They weren’t trying to go after her or anything just mentioning the full context of the whiteboard incident. I’m also not going to mention a name, because I’m not going to give your bitch ass or anyone that pays attention to you a target to go after.

The only time that I’ve seen them cry on stream was when a particular monstrous bastard got found out and rightfully thrown the fuck out the door with them having disgust towards him. Also while I respect people for doing apology type tweets, I also am well aware that if they didn’t do something they’d get an avalanche of harassment. I also don’t particularly care if Mica forgives or doesn’t, cause I’ve stopped paying attention to her in that regard. Cause there’s only so many times one can try to ring that bell before it breaks and becomes annoying. I was on her side for so long and kept asking her for to be in content again; then after like the 2nd-3rd jumping on the drama train she did I chose to just not look that way cause I’d rather not shift further towards the negative in regards to her. Its really a simple concept of how to handle that type of thing: say your peace and move the fuck on; not repeatedly bring up at every drama uproar that regardless of if one is doing it or not reads as chasing a crowd.

You know damn well what is meant by “he’s not white” and are intentionally being a dumbass. Let me adjust it then cause of your braindead dumbass: “he’s not only white”; nvm me saying in other posts “he’s half-white, half-Latino”. Really showing your defunct brain’s lacking anything outside of basic functions capability. Dumbass once again it doesn’t matter what he refers to himself as, biologically so long as he has a non-white parent HE IS NOT JUST WHITE AND IS MIXED. This isn’t your bitch ass vs. the stereotyped white guy; its your bitch ass vs. a half-white, half-Latino man whom your disgusting ass has over-fucking stepped in saying is an insult to both. Like you have ANY fucking ground AT ALL to speak on that shit. I really don’t give a shit wtf your ass is, I won’t paint you as one stereotypical thing at the expense of one half of your genealogy to try to play against the white side. And don’t even fucking try to say that isn’t the EXACT damn card you’re trying for either; hence why you’re so against someone mentioning that Miles is HALF-white and HALF-Latino. Cause that takes away from some of the white card having him be mixed.

OMFG ITS MICA M.I.C.A. MICA NOT FUCKING MIKA.

I’m not defending Miles, cause I don’t know Miles. But I will push against bullshit, especially the braindead bullshit your bitch ass has spewed. a) there’s social clout to be gained from jumping into outrage drama which has been every time Mica has come out with some new thing; b) why the fuck is it on employees to do a damn thing?; and c) this would’ve been YEARS ago now. I’m actually aware of Torian mostly because of RvB Zero, so I don’t need the explainer. I have no clue who Castle Super Beast is or their connection to RT, though I would say when was this joke made; cause Miles is a contracted writer now not someone within the company. Also the current people in the staff as far as I’ve seen are far more mixed than before, but then again you love dragging up past as present so I doubt that part matters. Someone dropping a candy bar is “worrying” according to your bitch ass.

Go fuck yourself, no one is obligated to be an activist. He was mostly there as a writer, which is what he does. That isn’t being racist, its not wanting to stir up drama or wanting to have confrontations with people. And if your ass thinks different, then feel free to take that metaphorical idea and shove it right up your ass. I don’t expect a damn soul to risk getting their ass beat down or harassed for that shit ever, if someone does do it great for them. Its a plus; but I’m not going to shit on someone for not being that type. Its real easy for someone like your ass to tell others to do that and not facing the risk of said beating.

Your ass isn’t holding ANY DAMN BODY “ACCOUNTABLE”. Pull your obnoxious piece of shit braindead head out of your damn ass. Accountable is checking to see if they’re sticking to changing; Accountable is shutting the fuck up to see if they do what they say they will; Accountable is acknowledging that changes HAVE BEEN MADE already; Accountable is looking at the PRESENT not dragging up the damn past. You aren’t holding them accountable; your bitch ass is using an issue as a bludgeon against them cause they didn’t do what your bitch ass wanted in x,y, or z regard. Even using a person who’s name your ass can’t even fucking spell right as a bludgeon in the same regard. Get off your damn high horse and realize your ass is wearing cardboard as armor on a patchy ass donkey.

Nah, dumbass everything you’ve said here and in the other thread have made it clear that your ass has been wanting RT to burn out of some bullshit idea that its the righteous and only acceptable route; and fuck everyone that still works there. Cause you have your head firmly shoved up your ass.

I’m not going to sit here and spending ours coming up with a damn source list for some braindead jackass online; especially since I already know that at least one has long since gone away. Both cause of how Twitch works and because of the person that did the vid saying they’d likely delete it once they calmed down. They only thing your bitch ass has presented is a bunch of shit from whenever; gotten details of RWBY flat-out wrong; ignored Miles being mixed to try to make it you vs. the white guy; whine about the WF while within the getting details wrong; speak about LGBT+ rep that your bitch ass has no ground to speak on and even then still getting shit wrong; got fucking Mica’s name wrong multiple fucking times (yet I’m supposed to think your bitch ass cares); took issue with Miles’s commentary about a damn video game character; lied about RWBY’s character designs; and just shat out your mouth.

That Yang example truly is pathetic, like that’s a big grievance for you. Grow the fuck up dipshit. Oh those critic vids exist so that the piece of shit sexist, homophobic, right-wing, incel, braindead chuds that rail against “woke” can get clicks. Every single one being able to be countered by anyone that has actually watched the show without filters (or phobics) or agendas in place.

Bitch, your ass is delusional if you think any of this amounts to a metaphorical “cold clock” or that I got my ass handed to me. Once again you got numerous things wrong; flat-out lied in certain things; failed to grasp the whiteboard incident; tried and failed at doing a you vs. whitey scenario cause “whitey” is mixed; wrongfully spewed your bullshit about the LGBT+ rep which congrats on being a homophobe for that; and your bitch ass repeatedly spelled Mica wrong. Like I have never in my time of knowing of Mica misspelled her damn name, even up to now when I stay away from her shit still knowing how to spell it. Not to mention the slash between the @ and my name suggests your pathetic little bitch ass was trying to puff out YOUR chest and act big to a strawman; but ya fucked up in how Tumblr does those; hence here I am. Pushing back on every single bit of your bullshit. Do us both a favor and shut your bitch ass the fuck up, before you embarrass your damn self more.

The reality is that the issues at RT are ACROSS THE ENTIRE DAMN INDUSTRY. The Spider-verse, Riot, and Wonderstorm controversies show as much. But that'd mean your ass actually caring about whatever cause you supposedly are advocating for enough to go after them too. But nah, you're going after RT and even throwing in Blizzard which just so happen to be right in the vein of where chuds take aim too; also both having gone through rough territories in recent times making them easier to go after. Once again a tactic used by the right-wing neckbeards and chuds just from the flipside of the coin.

So I didn't hyjack this poor person's post over [here.]

I thought making my own post would be the most logical conclusion. So it takes alot in my opinion to bury your head in the ground and pretend like you smart when you're so overly stupid.

Here's a discussion I had with a person where alot of alarming and stupid things were said on his part. @/crimsonxe

Well go through small sections, that's a lie, you know I'm long winded.

Here's a section where he states that writing about killing, maiming, and calling minorities bad isn't nearly as bad. I mentioned Miles calling Tifa a prostitute as well and I don't think he's getting it.

Manner of dress:

The problem isn't getting over it or not, the issue with calling remake Tifa a prosisitue is that she dresses more modest than the rwby cast, he has children with short skirts, no pants under and boob windows in frozen tundra. If he thinks THIS is provocative,

then him okaying THESE

designs on children is something he's mentally aware of! also weiss spends most of her time in that outfit in a frozen wasteland and then COMPLAINS about being cold!

Get over it? More like Have enough common sense not to post stuff like that. A wise man once said "just because you think of a tweet doesn't mean you have to hit send." (Also he says it's not fanservicey, need I remind everyone they sell a ruby body pillow, Yang always had her tits out and then as time goes on they start losing more and more clothing. Not fanservice my ass!)

Grown man argument for sexualizing teen girls.

"They don't go overboard." Here's a picture of a woman wearing chainmail on her bare skin in the desert, there's a difference between puritanical and horny silly designs after them saying shit like "we won't do the stupid stuff anime does" and then having the whole cast of female characters with their tits and ass out.

Also not to stun your pee brain, but writing racism as "If we want respect and equality then we have to forgive our bigot overlords and defend them with not even a thank you." Is stupid, that be like me telling you that if you want minorities forgiveness, go fight cops, or me going to england and saying that. Blake tells unrelated faunus to fight armed dudes and the writers are stupid. And the overall issue is HBomberguy was right! In his review he stated that he was afraid that a certain group of people would look at how the faunus act and go "yeah that's how They are" uncharitable takes exist.

And he was right a bunch of RWBY stans who were racist before vanishing literally came around going "boy did miles and kerry get you guys pegged, you're all exactly like this!" During the 98% most peaceful protesting age, well unless your a cop who wants to shoot out someone's eyes.

The LGBT pair (s)?

Yeah like the cardboard cutout guys miles pouted about when he didn't get credit for putting out there after people in the LGBT community asked when were the LGBT characters gonna appear.

The first Gay rep in the show was two unrelated characters we'd never see again after saying "characters" just don't promise things then lie forehead!

Or the second Rep LGBT character Illia! A woman who took her crush and was gonna- *Looks at paper* Send her to her abuser while also blaming her for dating someone and not knowing her romantic feelings.

"I guess you were too busy looking at Adam to notice me."

Yeah great first cardboard then a woman willing to kill off her her crushes family and blames her crush for not knowing she had a crush on her!

Oh how about bumblbee? With Yang literally saying she viewed Blake as an object and wanted her around for her solely? You know fuck what Blake wants! Blaming Blake for running in fear when WF ruin a nation and Adam states he'll kill everyone she loves and he knows exactly where her parents are? Perish the thought, that sounds like something a scared child would exactly do! But Yang goes "No despite us not officially dating yet I'm owed her time and presence.

Yang's shitty, and it takes how long for them to get together? They don't even wait until adam cold before Yang claims her, after abusing her mentally when Blake tells her Adam likes to make you feel small and she brushes her off and is like "stop talking to me." Then they kiss what? THIS year? 2023? In volume 3 sun's winking at her and she's blushing and smiling and calling him a dork and they're hanging out, and I'm sitting here going "Do some of that for yang? All they did was share a dance, have her flirt with her or wink, something." And what she compliments her hair once? Granted I stopped after 7/8 so I bet the best LGBT rep happ- This just in, I'm getting word from my friends in the LGBT community who watched rwby saying that it's dogshit.

Having tons of LBGT characters doesn't matter if you write them like trash I guess, btw the first kiss happened in volume 9 in 2023 and rwby started in 015 and again sun flirts, winks etc and they show alot of chemistry with each other.

Yang gets mad, demands blake be there when EVERYONE else is going back home too! Trauma dumps on her after using a laser pointer on her when Blake admits that she's tired of dealing with racism.

Like instead of talking to her, Yang treats her like an animal an laughs it off then trauma dumps about her mom on her while blake is already highly stressed. Doesn't even solve the problem btw. All the LGBT characters thus far (besides Jaune's sister and her girlfriend, they can stay, sadly they're trapped in a shitty show) are horribly written for no reason.

A second writer should look at these before they hit the screen.

Racism

He talks about a south park reference which I ignored cause it's so random?

racist dog whistling.

"Mika burton spun things a certain way." Nah there's tweets w of people admitting they fucked up and the achievement hunters go online , they bring her on a podcast and pretend to cry so people can feel bad for them. And good for her she doesn't forgive them. So spinning around? How about a source? Source can't be that you made it the fuck up cause that's not a source it's a sentence wasting everyone's time.

Also "Mile's isn't white." Aw man what am I gonna tell mile's white parent? Sorry some dude on the internet said your son can't be half white, sorry me I can't be half black, or Hawaiian, Sorry Miles because you look more black your Hispanic traits don't matter for the sake of the argument. What kinda of Juvenile , stupid statement IS this? He can't be white because you say so? But he calls himself white in many tweets and literally in the statement of writing racism in RWBY.

Also nice try, moving the goalpost means you can't lose. "I'm not defending him, now watch as I waste time defending him instead of finding a source against Mika's claims cause I'm bullshitting." I mean Mika doesn't even have a reason to lie, RT employees all admitted they heard and did nothing, Torian a black animator and editor also stated he had race issues with RT and Pat boivan from Castle super beast and pat stares at made a black joke that Miles and select few members laughed at in terms of them having no black or brown people working there. And they ignore woolie when it comes to sponsored stuff, he literally says this on multiple episodes of his show, and THAT's Worrying!

Point is if Miles himself is racist, weather he's white, Hispanic, black etc he still displayed racist behavior multiple times too many. He had a chance to say something to his employees, he didn't bother, he got nervous and waked off. He had the chance when he put BLM after the lashings he got and do something with that, change the company for the better etc, but he didn't he put it there as a band-aid and took it off when he thought people weren't looking.

I keep beating this dead horse because people like you don't seem to do research at all! Because in the face of it it's easier to lie, play dumb (pffft 'play') and make excuses for them instead of holding them accountable.

I didn't want to see RT burn down for a while, but they keep pulling a blizzard, and all these, tweets, articles, statements that miles or the others say or do that's stupid, harmful, racist, shitty keep popping up! At this point it be better as a lesson not to be shitty humans for RT to quietly burn, no special treatment, I'm holding them to the same standard I do for David cage, for activation Blizzard and many other triple A companies. If you don't wanna go down in flames, maybe don't do reprehensible things that keep burning bridges for you. Simple, don't be stupid forhead!

The real mornic stuff was listening to you try and fail at mental gymnastics and not provide a single source for anything you claimed I should "be in awe" of or switching the goal post. RT.s failing and they stacked the deck against themselves, THAT's why people hate them, statements like they saying that when yang drives down the crossroads to Mistral and people guessing she's going to Ruby only for them to like and say "if you heard the bike go one way." These critics, video's, and articles don't exist for no reason.

Pathetic, utterly pathetic, you boasted a big game , puffed out your chest and then walked straight into a cold clock and got your ass handed to you for several rounds. For someone who boasted about "getting in the ring" No flatter yourself, you weren't even competiton.

Buddy Swanson NSFW Alphabet.

Ay! So after some more interest expressed in the man and with me being the current reigning Buddy Swanson expert, self dubbed due to the fact I have written him the most and started his tag on Ao3, I thought I should do a NSFW Alphabet for him! So let’s fucking get into it yeah?! Here we go!

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Okay! So Buddy Swanson would be great at aftercare. Man’s got some kinks and would be totally great at making sure you are good whether after a more vanilla or kink focused scene. Water, lots of physical closeness, touching and cuddling, massaging any parts of you that are sore. Pillow talk and generally being pretty sweet, very soft spoken, still would be a little joking, light banter. Also could totally see a midnight snack happening if you want it, nothing crazy but this man makes the fucking best post-sex sandwich you’ve ever had in your life. Plus the view of him in the kitchen in nothing but a pair of sweatpants while he does it is just too good.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Totally loves his eyes. They can convey so much emotion, Buddy doesn’t open up or trust easily, can be kinda closed off, especially around people he doesn’t care for but this man can get a lot across with just a look, non-verbal communication like that can be a great asset. Plus that look he can give you when he wants you is too hot, he knows how much it affects you too, a great ego boost.

For you? Hips. Loves to have his hands on them, pulls you close to him using them, digging his fingers into them when you are having sex, lord knows the man would kiss and bite them while making his way to go down on you. Tracing your hips during a sleepy cuddle session? Loves it.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Buddy Swanson is SO into cumplay. Would fuck you and finger you right afterwards using the mess he left behind as lube. Loves to cum in you or on you, secret weakness for facials, you being on your knees in front of him, blowing him and when he gets close pulling out and you stroking him to his end, painting your face with his cum? Massive masturbation fuel. You do that shit unprompted he will literally get weak in the knees. Offer to take a picture of him to have it always? That fucker is thinking about rings. (Poly!Camping Boys sidebar, he will eat Sam’s cum out of you with zero hesitation and gets off hard on it. He loves to play clean up crew.)

D = Dirty secret (pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Voyeur. Totally loves the idea of catching you masturbating and seeing you like that without you knowing. The one thing he is actually kinda shy about and doesn’t really own openly. If you figure it out? And plan a little thing for him to ‘accidentally’ stumble in on you like that? Do it when you know he is coming home and let him find you in his bed, half dressed and moaning his name? He wouldn’t be able to stay away, he might start jerking off but wouldn’t be able to resist coming in and helping you out.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Decent experience but not crazy, man is observant and is so open to listening, he pays such close attention to your physical reactions, you tell him what you want and he is doing it. Will also totally mix it up, getting in a sexual rut with him won’t be happening, he will for sure be bringing new stuff to the table.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Oh hot damn so like doggy for fucking sure. Just like extra close you know? His chest pressed to your back, being able to paw at you and grope you, pull on your hair, right there to breath and whisper filth right in your ear, reach around and play with you as he fucks with you? So hot.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

This is Buddy we are talking about, he totally can be a bit goofy in the moment, would make a well timed joke, could be very playful, can switch from hot and heavy and so dominating to being able to laugh a bit into the crook of your neck over something silly happening. Good mix, can take sex seriously but not that seriously, can keep it light.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Yup, brown and curly on top and down below. Keeps it neatly trimmed. Could see him shave it once out of curiosity but the general upkeep of that? He wouldn’t see much point or bother with it. Totally waxed it once on a camp dare, fucking you cannot convince me that didn’t happen. It didn’t hurt nearly as bad as he thought it would but he doesn’t want to ever do it again.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

This man when he is deep into a relationship with you? Can be so soft, so romantic. This man can be real romantic and could see him doing some work to set the scene. Him being on top of you in missionary, pressed so close to you, whispering sweetness in your ear, kisses over your face, so much affection. The kind of guy who would notice something about you that shows he really sees you and cares and it slips out in the moment and it is so strikingly thoughtful it could make your heart ache.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

So sharing a bedroom with your twin sister most of your life, especially during your formative teenage years means that you have to get a bit creative with alone time. I headcanon hard that Buddy mostly gets off in the shower. Which take a second to picture that please! Him having one arm on the wall of the shower, leaning his forehead against it, dark curls heavy from the spray of the shower, his other hand wrapped around himself, pumping his cock, legs a little weak when cums, spilling over his fingers and the shower wall. This has continued by the way, he totally still mostly gets off in the shower even though he doesn’t need to anymore. Habit and easy clean up.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

This isn't all of them, also into dom/sub stuff, and bondage and a lot more but here are some greatest hits.

Rope play. He totally is great with a set of ropes, bet he knows how to do a lot of knots and has poured a lot of time and research into knowing how to do it properly and safely. Loves tying you up in so many different ways, would love to grip the ropes and use those as leverage to pull you onto his cock over and over.

Dirty talk. From you and him, he loves to dirty talk to you and see how badly he can get to you with just his words, and he loves for you to get worked up enough to try and match him. Which yes you can totally get to him with some well placed dirty talk, if you are riding him, fingers in his hair, tugging on it as you lean in close and whisper in his ear you can totally make his pace falter and his eyes roll back.

Exhibitionist. He wants to do it in semi-public places and the risk of getting caught gets him going so badly. Really brings something out in him. Will totally sneak you into wherever he works, whether at camp or a restaurant and having you on top of or bent over one of the prep tables or the walk-in fridge.

Knife Play. (Saw Blade Play?) Either with a kitchen knife or those old weapons of his, would love to hold on to you as he has you, gets off too hard on it to be honest, gets really rough when those are pulled out.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Will you be surprised if I say the kitchen? The counter top? Over the kitchen table? Yes. Also the living room, a quickie on the couch is great but his secret favorite? Apartment balcony. Gets some of that exhibtionist stuff going, doing it out in the open, particularly if you are both totally naked, cool evening air on hot skin, amazing.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Well placed innuendo, a particular outfit, being pressed together in bed in the early morning, lingerie, surprising him with lingerie for real, that would get him so bad. If he pulls off whatever you are wearing to find something lacy and sheer and revealing underneath oof he is gone. Also legit pull his hair whether mid fuck or if you are playing around, joking and you do it suddenly, he is going to get so hard so fast.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Mommy or Daddy kink. Just do not see that being his thing at all. The guy has too many family related issues, brings up bad feelings just don’t try it. Also breeding kink. The guy loves creampies and filling you up but the idea of doing it or dirty talking about knocking you up is a big no go for him.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

This man loves to cook and is amazing at it but he can EAT. Eating pussy or sucking dick he is GGG, Good, Giving, Game. He loves to give, adores making you a squirming mess, and the taste? Forget about it, he is totally into it. He is down for it basically anytime, would be super into 69ing, would love some oral exchange as a quickie exhibitionist hook up, he would go down on you first and if there isn’t time for him he will hit you back later. He will drop to his knees at a moment’s notice and go to town and is good as fuck at it. Takes direction well, also again, pull on his hair to help direct him please and thank you.

He does love to receive however. Gets so into it, totally lost in it when you are doing it, would love to have his hand on your head if you are into it, helping guide you, would rock his hips to help fuck into your mouth, would be hard for him to hold back when he gets close, would be breathing hard and moaning your name. Also wouldn’t initiate throat fucking but if you did? He would die happy. You dirty talk to him about that? Tell him he won’t break you and you want him to really go for it. He will thread his fingers in your hair and give it to you and leave you gasping when he pulls out after he cums down your throat, another favorite of his by the way.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Tendency to go faster and rougher, just loves the sounds you make during it, hard to resist not going hard. Can slow it down, mostly as a means of getting the upper hand and gaining some extra control on the situation again. But for sure can slow it down during some more intimate and romantic times, it just isn’t the norm a lot of the time.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

A fairly regular thing. He loves a good quickie, wether oral and hand stuff, a quick fuck in the shower, or before work, can expect about two or so a week and a much more longer dedicated session as well. Pretty frequent and active sex life, part of what dictates this is how your schedules shake out. More time together means more time to be physical.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

So down to experiment. Almost anything you want to try he is going to be down to give it a go at least once. Like I mentioned will bring new shit to the table to try often, mans got some varied taste after all. And as for risks yes, will for sure, again with the exhibitionism he is so into some risk in his sex.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Good two or three easily. First one would be the shortest but it isn’t like you are left wanting, gets longer the second and the third, and doesn't need that long of a refractory period. Would go down on you until he is good to go again easily. Also an ideal Sunday would be spent in bed, hooking up on and off, food and napping, maybe a movie or two, talk about a good time.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Buddy would love toys but mostly in a partnered scenario. Would love to use some. Would be down for almost anything, cock rings, plugs, anal toys, his favorite are vibrators though. Holding one to where you are most sensitive as he fucks into you? Making you an incomprehensible mess and not stopping even after you cum a few times? Getting into some overstimulation? Yes, yes, yes. The feeling of you cumming around him while he holds the vibe to you and he doesn’t stop his hips is so good he can barely hold himself back.

One toy I could see him not being really into is like non-makeshift gags. He loves to hear you, the only times he is really into gags is when it’s like your soiled underwear and shoving it into your mouth to help muffle you during one of those semi public hookups.

I could see him owning a fleshjack, a basic plug/anal toy set, doesn’t use them that often but if you want to use toys on him? He will get very, very into them.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Too much. He loves it endlessly. Teasing is to Buddy Swansons as fish are to water. Dirty talk whispered hushed and low in your ear, wandering hands, feeling you up subtly, filthy texts or pictures sent while you are out with other people and watching you struggle not to react, his favorite.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Decently loud when alone with you, again dirty talk, moans, heavy breathing, will totally let you know vocally how good you feel and how good he is feeling. The most delicious moans when he gets close, little hard for him to continue to string full sentences when he is on the edge of cumming. Throaty moan of your name when he fills you up.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Possessive. Buddy can be jealous and possessive as fuck, he sees someone getting a bit too close and friendly with you? He is totally the type to need to have you soon after that, reclaim you, remind you that no one can fuck you as good as he can. Will go hard, hands all over you, being as close as possible. Wrote something with this very thing.

You get another one too. His favorite is sitting up, you in his lap, straddling him, he has one arm around you to hold you to him and his other hand is between your bodies, touching you, sitting fully sheathed inside of you but not moving. Would love to cock warm you, hold you so you can’t fuck yourself on him and use his hand and his words to make you cum around him. Would be so encouraging, “C’mon babe, wanna see you fall apart, want to make you feel so fucking good, do it, for me, yeah?”

How can you say no to that?

Also being raised around theater people all his life is super chill with LBGTQ+, zero issue there and is bi himself, never questioned it much either just accepted it easily.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Not super built, not super cut, but definitely strong, lean is a good way to describe him. Now the dick though, around seven inches, slightly above average thickness, decently heavy balls, uncircumsized, prettiest flushed pink for the head of his cock you’ve ever seen. Produces a decent amount of pre-cum, the longer you tease him the more you will get, for actual cum? Above average amount and thick, great taste too.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Decently high. Wants you pretty often. Ideal is having you in some way around five times a week, would be down to have you every day if the schedules allowed for it. The kind of guy who would forgo sleep to get to fuck you if he hadn’t in a day or two.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Depends on how heavy the scene was, how late it is, how much was taken out of him but he will always make sure you are good before falling asleep, ALWAYS. Would never skimp on the aftercare in exchange for sleep. When he does sleep, would love to have you wrapped in his arms, pulled to his chest, total big spoon btw.

· · ────── ·· ────── · ·

☞ Aoba Johsai:

Tōru Oikawa

Certainly has a praise kink & there’s nothing he loves more than hearing how much you like his pretty face and fit physique - he’ll tell you it’s all for you, but you should always call him on that lie - ‘really Tōru? you do all that for me and not because you’re, I don’t know, a professional volleyball player?’ ‘ugh, how dare you - are you insinuating I don’t also do this for you?? for the woman I love?? I guess romance really is dead, huh.’ though it’s not just physical traits he wants praise for - tell him how good he makes you feel, how appreciative you are of him, as a lover and as a partner - after all, he’s someone who has worked hard his entire life and hasn’t always reaped the benefits of that effort - having the person he loves tell him they’ve seen his struggles and they’re supporting him 120% - there’s nothing more that makes his heart swell and, at times, his dick twitch

So, so much cock worship - like it is expected, likely given to you in writing when you first get together - it’s a must, must, must - he’s the worst person you’ll ever meet, but you know you wanna travel the world with him - hell, you’d go to Argentina for this man and, let’s be honest, for his impressive dick - so make sure you tell him this, and constantly

Super romantic with everything he does - sometimes it’s over the top, he’s scattered rose petals at least ONCE and yes he was offended when you had the audacity to laugh at the cliche, but his actions are always so heartfelt because when he falls, it’s hard and it’s deep & he wants to hear how much you liked it, gasping and grinning at each other, and how much you love him 

With looks in mind, katoptronophilia is a given - he has two mirrors in the bedroom, one is by the window (to check if outfits look good in natural light, really Tōru?) and one is placed catty corner to the wall but has the perfect view of the bed, and one of his favorite things to do is to pull you up and fuck you in front of one of them - you both look so fucking good & how can he not want to see all of that?

This man is a bratty switch, bottom leaning - he is in control of the court and his team all the time and I think he would enjoy taking off that crown in the bedroom - however, he wants you to put some effort in to dominating him, what do you expect from a man who works hard for everything in life, and if you’re with him, you probably enjoy the challenge - sometimes he’ll do the whole: ‘of course, it’s all you!’ & then halfway through he’s whining that it’s not fair that he has to put up with this - ‘why are you being so rough??’

He does like the idea of play wrestling, too, but he’d act so whiny during it ‘oww, that really hurts! don’t hurt the man you love!’ ‘okay now you’re just being mean here, this isn’t fun anymore’ - though that’s all part of his plan - he’ll totally flip things around the second you let up to chastise him - however, he’ll never object to letting you rightfully win so he can enjoy being pinned under your thighs

Edging is something he certainly likes - namely, for him - he enjoys when you get him right up to that release, where he’s starting to throb and is so close, just a little more, and ahhh - you just let all of the pressure and tension still, holding his hips down and watching him squirm as he tries to gather himself back together - he’ll complain, breathlessly, but that flush running up his neck and those moans and whines he keeps giving you say something completely different 

Breath play - he’d be open to receiving it more than giving it, though I don’t think he’d like a hand wrapped around his throat because that is a little too aggressive for his tastes- he would enjoy it with scarves or stockings, your thumbs pressing into his pressure points, less actual choking and more of the teasing aspect of it - the competition of seeing how long he can last with this tightening pressure, and that measured control you have on him, it’s all very sexy (you will have to remind him, though, of keeping his safety in mind and not, I don’t know, trying to outdo his record of breath control during your last session) 

Totally has a lingerie/stocking/ thigh high sock kink - if you go out of your way to wear a set of lingerie that accentuates your everything, he’s not going to just take, or god forbid, rip, it off - he’s going to have you keep that shit ON, it looks so good on your body, it feels so nice against his skin, and he will be enjoying it for as long as he can

So as you can guess, down for clothed sex for sure - you’re both dressed to kill, you look so sexy, so let’s appreciate this moment more - most of the time it’s because there’s no way he can keep his hands off of you for another second - not when you look that good!! *note: none of this plays out outside the home

Big into aftercare - likes the pampering and the extra-ness of it - it’s more of a shared activity, whatever you’re doing to him, or he’s doing to you, he’ll want to reciprocate at all costs - you both draw a bath together and massage sore muscles - taking care of each other after getting wrecked is something that can be so romantic…

Speaking of massages, he’d like prostate massages - they feel oh so good especially while you’re also going down on him - but, if you’re wanting to try pegging, he’d need to be worked up to it - however there are times when he cannot resist seeing just how much you can make him submit to you - that power looks good on you and pegging is the ultimate form of domination to him

Begging, but just for you? He lowkey loves when he can get you to a level of frustration that he gets to pull some ‘oh...what was that? I’m sorry, can I get that again?’ ‘I really couldn’t hear you, babe, can you say that again - do you need something?’ he just wants you telling him how much you want him, no need him, and it boosts his ego tenfold

lights on kinda guy - also lowkey scared of the dark - ‘wait, what was that?’ ‘Tōru, calm down.’ ‘NO! what that’s in the corner!’ ‘uh, a chair, it’s been there.’ ‘but what’s ON it!?’ ‘your jacket...’

Cunnilingus/Face sitting kink HARD - he takes absolute pride in getting you off with just his tongue - likely has it timed to a science and can read every twitch and jolt that your body makes - absolute king level shit, knows just what you like and what to do to have you orgasming hard, thighs squeezing his head and hands gripping his hair for dear life

He loves to put on a show for you and is likely very into mutual masturbation - just having you work yourself into a gasping mess while he’s looking on makes him so hard and he likes to see how long you both can hold out - he will balk at exhibitionism however - he’s a little too famous for that as the captain of the Argentinian volleyball team & I do see him as someone who would be possessive of you - so he wouldn’t like anyone walking in on the two of you and it’s just not worth the risk - ‘oikawa, diva!’ is what a fan would say and I feel like he would just shove you back where you can’t be seen and literally strut away, internally panicking

No marking or leaving big hickies - again, he’s got an image to keep up here

Sorry ladies, no impact play - omg he hates being hit & i don’t think he’d hit you - like, literally you asked him to slap you once, and he just pressed an open palm to your face with a winced look, gently pressing on your cheek & you were like: ‘wtf did you just do???’  it was so embarrassing for him that sex was over for the night - he can’t do this, the conviction it takes, he does not have    

Takahiro Hanamaki

Begging, yes - he likes to see how you react to him, especially when you’re at your neediest - come on, let’s be honest, you sound so good when you’re whimpering for him, how could he not like it? He won’t goad you too much, but he can’t help giving a few prompts of ‘hmm? got something to say?’ ‘man, you should see yourself - and hear yourself too’

More of a mental bondage kinda guy - he’d rather give you instructions, tell you to keep still for him, and see how long your resolve can hold - it’s so fun to see how focused your expression looks while your body twitches reactively to his touch

Breath play, always - his preference is to do this on you, rather than it being done to him - he always starts with his hand lightly wrapped around your throat, which he likes to do just to check if you’re down to indulge him in this - soon as he gets the green light, it’s all about those pressure points - he’ll grip your neck in just the right spots that have you writhing and seeing spots in your vision, your fingers tapping out the rhythm for release - as a rule, he never uses his entire hand because he likes to see how steady he can keep his control so he only ever uses a few fingers to create the pressure - in general, he’s an observant guy & I think he’d like to watch as you come back down from that high, body jolting and reedy moans leaving your throat

Breast play- if you can’t tell, this man lives to see you arching and contorting under his fingertips - loves, loves, loves to see you squirm - so whether it’s with his fingers or teeth, he’s going to be flicking, pulling, licking, nipping, and sucking along your breasts and giving special attention to your nipples - plus, you let out the sweetest little mewls and gasps and those are his favorite sounds!

He’s very into clothed sex - there’s just something about the way your breath hitches and he loves when you shiver into him - biting on your lower lip and letting out those shaky exhales - so he enjoys to tease you under your clothes - see how far you’ll let him get and if all that heavy petting happens to turn into a quickie against the nearest surface with your dress hiked up to your stomach? well, that just sounds perfect, dont’cha think? Speaking of which…

He’s very down for exhibitionism, and it often ties into his kink for clothed sex - he really love to tease you in public and get you into a breathless, half aroused state - keep in mind, while he’s doing all this, he’d give you such a hard time when you want to try and fuck in the corner, or down an alleyway, or in a bathroom - ‘babe! stop! we’re in public. what’s gotten into you?’ and he just keeps that up, even as he is pressing you into the closest wall and teasing at the top of your pants. ‘stop! I don’t know why you’re being like that!’ he says all of this with such a shit eating grin on his face

Cunnilingus kink & loves to use it for that sweet, sweet control - he really gets off on seeing you gasping and moaning as he tongue fucks you right to the edge and then leaves you there - you know it’s gonna happen, you know, he always does this, but you hold out hope this will be the time he lets you cum all over his mouth - he’s great at using your desperation against you 

If a dildo and his dick in your pussy makes you a sopping mess, then fuck yes he’s down for double penetration - he loves how tight it makes you - He wasn’t sure if you’d be as into this one as he was but he’s so glad he mentioned and you were down, and even better, you were just as into it as he was - In fact, he just bought a new toy this last week and is so excited to try it out on you

When it comes to play wrestling, he lets you think that you’ve got him, that this time you really have pinned him down and are taking control this time, and sometimes it really seems like you did, because honestly he’ll let you have your moment of domination every once in awhile - but the moment you gloat or try to push too hard, well, you’re forfeiting your position in the blink of an eye and he’s back on top, grinning at the indignant look on your face

If you’re ticklish, he’d get into foot play - it’s fun to lightly run fingers along the soles of your feet and watch your entire leg kick reflexively into his awaiting hands - he loves to snatch you by your ankles and pull you forward when he’s got a hold of your jolted leg - he’ll also find your feet in mid air and tickle them to watch your legs strain and hips jump from the teasing - plus he’s never against massaging and kissing your toes until you’re a giggling mess under him - it’s all about seeing how you react to him

Totally into impact play - he likes how it sounds - the soft pops and the sharp whacks and watching how your body responds to the sudden sensations - he loves to play around with speed and tempo, and you never quite know what he’ll do - he wants to see how much you can take and what kind of moans he can draw out with each smack

Hajime Iwaizumi

Begging? yes, always and forever - tell him how badly you want him and he will do everything he can to get you past the point where you won’t be able to do anything else besides babble his name - so, be warned - he won’t be doing much begging for you, though, I mean, he will try, but it will mostly be over-dramatic and come off insincere ‘baby, pleeeease, give it to me, ugh….’ ‘hajime, you sound like a bad porn star, you can stop’ he’s not trying to be rude or funny, he’s just not wired that way & likely never will be, sorry, not sorry - if you’re with him & you have a begging kink, well...

Bondage, duh, yeah cue obligatory all of it - he’s into the works: blindfolds, rope tie ups, handcuffs (fuzzy and metal are both allowed and encouraged), maybe a little bit of suspension play too - for one thing, he thinks it looks really sexy & I’d see him being game to try anything and everything with this kink - I would even see him being into some of those more avant-garde and uncommon forms of bondage - think full four poster spread that has you completely at his mercy and the way you’re displayed has him rubbing his hands together in excitement when he pulls back to see his finished work - he’s always willing to try new things, so open for suggestions, ladies….

With all this in mind, he is certainly into breath play - loves to see your lips trembling and likes how you bare your throat  as it arches under his fingers - he loves how imposing and powerful his hands look as they wrap around your neck - that’s probably the biggest reason why this kink attracts him so much- he’s got some pretty fine looking hands, attached to some even better looking arms - he’s worked hard to maintain that muscle as a trainer, and he loves to see your eyes following the line of his forearms that lead to his biceps - plus the way you grip onto those arms while he’s gradually squeezing around your neck really gets to him - he’d let you do it to him too, especially if you happen to be riding him, he enjoys feeling all of your control and doesn’t mind you using his neck to help yourself stay balanced as you’re shifting up on your knees and lowering yourself back onto him

Rather than edging you, he’s going to want you to come well, and often - he’s always doing his best to make you an overstimulated, quivering mess - he likes the feel of you fluttering around him and how you can’t keep your hips from bucking no matter how hard he holds them down - he likes seeing you lose that control and it lets him reap all of the benefits of your many releases

Total boob guy - worship is a must, must, must for him, he loves them, no matter the size or shape he thinks they’re so soft and beautiful….so he’s out here kissing, licking, sucking,  and even pinching sometimes - just honestly going to town on them every chance he gets  - & absolutely would have a lactation kink - thinking of them even plusher, filled, and leaking mmm

Speaking of licking and sucking - this man will leave you splattered with love bites and mismatched patches of lip sucked skin - this isn’t limited to his mouth, because his hands are always leaving behind some fingermarks and bruises all along your hips and upper thighs - he likes the possessiveness of it all - seeing those marks, especially if they’re juuuust visible under your shirt or ever your shorts and skirts, it’s a visual representation of his want for you and shows that you’re all his - he’ll also like you to reciprocate this - feel free to bite against his biceps when he’s pinning you down, or leave him a nice scattering of hickies across his neck and shoulder, please? *ok, maybe there’s one thing he’ll beg for :3c

Impact play goes hand in hand with his marking kink & he honestly can’t help it? If it looks good, which all of you does, well, he’s gotta hit it, literally - besides just hearing your moans and those breathy gasps whenever he lands a solid pop gets him so hard - and if that smack leaves a nice, bright mark, all the better

Breeding kink/Cream pie kiiiink to the max - he wants to fill you up until you’re absolutely soaking and loves watching it as it runs down your thighs - but some days he likes to trap it under the flat of his palm, holding you still as he makes sure you keep every last drop - the mating press is totally his second favorite position - he’s not necessarily trying to get you pregnant, but he can’t help himself, it all goes back to that possessiveness - ‘look at you, such a dirty girl, taking all my cum like that’ ‘you want me to give you more? I can - I can go all night.’ 

When it comes to clothed sex, could totally see this man rushing home to you, dropping his gym bag at the door, kicking it shut behind him, and pinning you down, or up, no matter what you’re doing - you can worry about taking everything off later, right now he just wants you anyway he can get you - he’ll shove whatever he needs to to the side or down to get to you - don’t worry, he won’t let those pesky panties be in his way for too long!

Honestly Aoba Johsai grads are all the reigning champions of pussy eating, so it should come as no shock that he thinks about your cunt constantly - to the point where you’ll finish taking a shower, walk into the bedroom, and he’s not even pretending to pay attention to the book in his hands, his eyes sharp, nose flared, tongue tracing his lips hungrily, watching you move toward him - you won’t even have a chance to gasp before he’s trapping you under him - he loves to spread you out and eat often and well

Degradation: omg. he will degrade you to the moon and back if you’re comfortable with it - loves to call you his slut, his whore - ‘look at you, all fucking panting for my cock, you’re such a pretty bitch and you’re all mine’ 

His proclivity for discipline will certainly come into play every once in awhile - usually he reserves this for more playful interactions - not things that happen in everyday life, but if you start to fight against his control in the bedroom, well, he’ll need to make sure you know there’s a surprise that’s in store for you soon - keep in mind, he loves when you fight against his control! there’s nothing he loves more than seeing you resist him - he likes the back talk and that snarky brattiness you slip into - besides, it’s a lot more fun when you’re giving him a run for his money 

Speaking of brattiness, he loves to play wrestle with you - but don’t not fool yourself, this is a losing game - for you that is - however, he does like to see you get all worked up and breathy - it’s so cute and when you try to trash talk him whenever you do get the upper hand for those precious few moments? he lives for it, knowing he’s going to flip you right over and keep you there

While he would like to face fuck you, he wants you to be prepped for this specific kink - so be ready for lots of practice - he’ll sink a little further each session, make you get used to gulping and heaving around his dick, but he’ll never rail into you without a warning - but once you’re both ready? oooh, it feels so good when your throat is clenching around him - and if you sneak a few peeks up at him? god, you look so beautiful like this, he’s not sure he can ever get enough of it  

Issei Matsukawa

He is a shell you’ll have to crack into - be mindful of that - & it helps to be friends first - many of these kinks he’ll need to work up to, but if he has that trust and established comfort built in from the get go, you’re golden - he strikes me as someone who is purely monogamous, dedicated and loyal - and he would more possessive and private so don’t expect exhibitionism, likely under any circumstances - you’re for his eyes only and he’s not about to share any of that perfection with anyone else

More of a switch, I think he’d be fine with you in control - he’d like the back and forth, the pseudo-struggle, the snappy comments and teasing, but I don’t think he’d be too preoccupied with who wins, or who happens to lose these little power struggles - if you’re having a good time, than so is he 

He’s got something of a massage fetish - the second you start to rub your warm hands over his broad shoulders, he’s already half hard and ready for more - he really likes it when you make it into a whole deal, asking him to lay down on the bed and popping out the scented oils - there’s something about that pressure of your fingertips and if you sit across the dip of his back, oh fuck yes - he loves when he can feel your thighs tensing and shifting over him as you move upward to reach that patch of tense muscles by his shoulder blades, hands slick with oil, that will cause some deep, low moans to rumble from his chest 

He loves the reactions that sensation play can drag out of you - however, when he brings this kink out he likes to take his time - so he usually saves it for longer sessions - all that extra planning and care is worth the wait and lets him go nice and slow, which is just what he likes - he’s even found the ideal blindfold for you - it wraps perfectly around your head and blocks out all possible light, plus it’s so soft - once he’s dimmed your vision he’ll start out with his fingers, tracing them up and down over your skin until you’re leaning forward, chasing after his touch, leaning forward to try and pinpoint his next move - then he’ll move onto other stimulants like warm massage oils, or sleek, stainless steel toys that he can heat up over your flushed skin, rubbing them up and down until you’re a gasping mess    

The blindfold play alone has opened new worlds for him with other forms of sensory deprivation as well and he’s always eager to try out something new -  namely ear plugs or headphones to utilize music - he’s got a playlist that he likes to break out for the two of you while things are getting heated - and he’s played it so often now that even hearing those songs outside of the bedroom can get you twitching and wet and him half hard - for earplugs, the sensation of touch goes through the roof when he pairs it with the blindfold and he just can’t get enough of how your reactions are intensified from it all

While the sensation play can tie into bondage, he usually prefers to hold you down with just his hands rather than ropes or handcuffs - he’s a tactile guy and there’s just something about watching you arch and writhe under his palms alone - the shift as he readjusts you and the long line that your body makes when he pulls you up, stretching you against the sheets - ugh, you look so good, he’ll take a minute to admire that form a little longer...

However, with all of this in mind, if you’re really into something and have some kinks of your own, he’d take the time to indulge you in what you like - he’s a go with the flow kinda guy, and frankly unless he really doesn’t like it, he’ll be good for whatever you want anytime you want it 

Cock worship - he was not expecting to be as down for this as he was - it slipped out of you one day and he felt all of the blood in his body run directly to his dick - ‘what...what did you say?’ ‘that I love your cock, it’s so thick and god, you’re practically leaking all over my hand now, I can’t wait to taste it’ ‘oh. uh, I mean, fuck...can...can you say that again?’  

Does he have a cunnilingus kink? um, yes, yes he does - this man does be loving to eat and your pussy is the perfect meal - usually, he likes to catch you when you’re distracted - ‘you can keep watching that...i’ll just be down here…’ kinda thing, as yanks your pants and panties down, spreading your legs along the couch and helping himself

Another thing he loves indulging in when he’s eating you out is edging - there’s something about the idea of holding out for the big finish - his hips bucking upwards as he ruts into thin air - it makes him feel tingly and lightheaded and that final push to release is always worth it, even if it comes hours later, leaving him tired but completely sated and satisfied  

Dirty talking? this man will dirty talk you within an inch of your life - and if he finds out that you have a thing for his voice, babe, you’re such a goner - ‘feel good? do you like how that feels? want more? lay back for me, oh fuck, your pussy’s so tight like this. look at you, you’re practically dripping all over my hand. such a good girl, taking me so deep.’ just on and on and on until all you can hear is his voice

Total titty and ass man - if it’s soft and round, he’s down - he loves running his hands along your dips and curves and sinking his calloused fingers into your plush softness, fuck, that feels good

Teasing is one of his favorite things to do with you - this can slip outside of the bedroom, but it’s usually limited to whispered murmurs or veiled promises of what’s to come - he’s slick about it too - stepping over to your side and wrapping his arm around your waist as he leans down, the gentle push of his breath making your skin prickle with excitement - in a blink, he’ll be stepping away again but he loves seeing you bite your lip and that sweet laugh that will echo his declarations - and once the two of you are alone, damn, he will not let up, easily falling into some wickedly smooth jabs and bursts of dirty talk as he strips you down  

He’s got a huge hyphephilia kink - he just loves how your skin warms up as he slips his palms or his lips over whatever’s been bared to him - he knows it’s likely bordering on an obsession and sometimes it’s all he can do to keep his hands off of you, but he can’t help it - you’re intoxicating and he can’t believe how lucky he is to have you 

Definitely into play fighting and wrestling - he’ll let you win the bouts - how could he not? do you even realize how pretty your face is when you smile? and you always give him the best ones when you can knock off his hold - how could he possibly not let you win? ok, ok, sometimes his well honed competitive streak will come out, he can’t help it, but he always goes out of his way to give you a chance - besides, what’s better than being trapped under your thighs? nothing, that’s what 

For food play he’ll likely prefer things that he can lick off of you - think peanut butter, melted chocolate or light dustings of granulated sugar - this kink will go hand in hand with his doraphilia proclivity - the heady taste of something sweet on your skin sends him, literally, he’ll be so hard after a few laps of his tongue that he can hardly wait to get the rest off of you, drunk on the deliciousness of your splayed body 

Enjoys a good deal of frottage while heading to the bed room - if things get heated in the kitchen, or the living room, you better believe that he’s rutting up against you as much as he can - it helps to lessen that pressure and he loves the sensation of the rough push against his dick even through all his layers

For a clothed sex kink, well, he’s a busy guy and sometimes it’s all he can do to keep his hands off of you the second he drops his bag off his shoulder and kicks the front door shut - doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, or doing, he wants you and he wants you now and he’s not about to let a few layers get in his way of that - ‘come on, damn get this shirt off,’ he’s been missing you and he thinks he’s gonna bust if he has to wait any longer - he does strike me as a ‘fuck off frustrations’ kind of guy & if you’re down to indulge him in that he’ll be so, so happy - he’s not trying to hurt you but sometimes it’s nice to just slack all of that stress off between your slick thighs and rut against you as fast as he can with all of that pent up energy

Impact play is a must - once more it’s all about the way your skin heats up under his hand, but the satisfying clap of his palm against your curves is nothing to sneeze at either - it just feels so good and look at how you shivered when he made contact and...and was that a moan? yeah, you better believe he’s going to love working you up as he steadys you to sit over his dick - that’s right, he much prefers that you’re riding him when he lets loose - it gives him the best view of your face and that clench and answering wetness from your cunt is too addictive

Speaking of hands, can see this man having a quirofilia kink - while he likes how his broad grip stretches across you, he likes the way your hands look even more, especially when they’re nicely manicured and wrapped around the thick girth of his cock - that curl and stretch of the digits and the feel of them as they work their way up to the tip is heaven and he’ll never tire of that sight - he also loves interlacing his fingers with yours, so expect a lot of hand holding and stroking when you’re out and about

Very into pampering for you both - while he’s content with his job, it is one that can be mentally taxing - there’s a lot of emotional build up that comes with working in a funeral home - so I think he’d be over the moon if you made a special evening or weekend for him - it doesn’t need to be fancy, or over the top - just something that the two of can share together, without any real obligations where you’re just giving him some undivided attention - if you’d mentioned a movie you wanted to see with him, a new bar you wanted to check out that you’d both love, or even just an uninterrupted get away together (think a small daycation) he loves that you thought of him when planning these things and wants to be sure to make that time absolutely perfect for you, too - he’s very, very into self care & time spent with you is its own form of that for him

Like’s marking but only on places you can’t see - you gave him a hickey on his neck and all of his other coworkers didn’t stop ribbing him for a week - deadass, they gave him the makeup you put on corpses to cover it up so it wasn’t showing for a funeral they were hosting and he regretfully has had to tell you to never do that again, go a little easier next time, but sometimes he still lets you get carried away - he likes the fact that the marks signify he’s yours and you’re his - don’t worry, he’ll get you back for any stray love bites, how can he not?

*omfg. it’s so long. we really said Matsukawa supremacy, huh? jesus. well, too late now...

☞ Inarizaki:

Shinsuke Kita

I do see him having a deep seated fascination with bondage - the first time he tried it with you he was absolutely insistent on mental & command based restraints only - but something was missing - sure, knowing he had that control over you was a heady rush but he wanted more - the first set of ties are loose - they tickle against your ankles and your wrists & he’s cautious to let you know that at any point, you can wiggle your way out - but when he leans back on his haunches and sees you, hoisted and pinned - completely at his mercy - oh. well, this is it - and if you suggest that the two of you indulge in this kink for your next romp that sly grin and brightening of his sharp eyes is just beautiful

For body worship, his actions speak louder than words - every chance he gets he’ll rest a broad palm against your curves - his fingers pressing and squeezing until you’re sucking in those quick little gasps that he loves so much - if he had to pick a favorite part of you, he’d always gallantly tell you that he adores everything about you, but again, his actions tend to echo back to what he truly prefers - and he has a deep, deep fascination with the slopes of your breasts - he’s not concerned with the size, the shape of your areola, or the sensitivity - he just can’t help but suck and kiss them; they’re perfect and, best of all, they’re all for him

This guy, this guy right here, would love it if you told him how perfect his cock was - the first time you let your praise slip out he’d blinked down at you, mouth agape, eyes wide and asked if you’d elaborate, please? - he wasn’t expecting that shiver to travel up his spine and the way you smiled as you repeated your words had him giving a low groan, his cheeks heating up  - you might have created a monster here because now that he’s had it, he doesn’t think he can live without it anymore

A cunnilingus kink is an emphatic yes - at first he didn’t think he was that good at it, but practice makes perfect, right - and this man is nothing if not a perfectionist - he makes eating you out part of his routine, something that’s so ingrained and expected that you can feel yourself dripping each day, cunt pulsing out a broken tattoo, waiting for his hungry lips - he comes in for his daily break, wiping sweat from his brow, and fixing you with a pointed look - be ready to stop whatever you’re doing around the farm since you’re his afternoon snack 

I do see him having a bit of a discipline kink - nothing too crazy, he’s not about to lock you up, or bring outside frustrations into the bedroom - but I think he would love to smooth out some of that roughness that you give him at times - those lazy taunts and snappy flexes against his control can’t go unanswered, no matter how much he secretly loves them - since you deliberately ignored or provoked him, it’s only fair for there to be some kinda reaction for that - you do all of that on purpose though, since there’s nothing better than hearing the timbre of his voice drop and see his lips quirk into a small smile

When it comes to play wrestling - mmm, you might want to elaborate on the rules of it all - when you’d first attempted it, shoving and pressing at him until he found himself knocked onto the edge of the bed, brows furrowed and body tensed, he’d been so, so confused - ‘wait, are you upset?’ - it’s a genuine question and you can’t contain the exhaled laugh that bubbled from your lips - ‘it’s just for fun. if you don’t like it we don’t–’ ‘you’re not mad?’ ‘no.’ ‘and all i need to do is...fight back?’ - it’ll take some strict outlines and a few more bewildered blinks from him but he’ll catch on & I think he’ll look forward to the days when you nudge a little too hard against his shoulder, eyes gleaming with poorly concealed mischief - he might get a little competitive - so don’t expect to win these bouts most of the time - but he likes the back and forth and there’s nothing he loves more than showing you who has the stamina and intensity to come out on top

For food based kinks I do see some rice play - no. get out of here. shoo.

If you did talk him into any kind of food play, he’d strictly keep it to the kitchen & you better believe you’re helping him to clean it up afterwards - he likes it more than he ever imagined possible - there’s something about all of the textures and the lingering taste of your skin - plus those sucking moans and gasps that you give him when he flattens his tongue and traces it over the planes of your stomach, or the plush rise of your breasts - he likes to see how long you can hold out before your hands are pushing against his grey head, so wet and overstimulated that all words are gone 

Definitely loves taking care of yourselves with massages and baths - once again, it’s a  scheduled thing - & he will get irritated if you miss it for whatever reason - self care is vital necessity - you’ve got to do it everyday & he wants you to share in those luxurant moments of peace with him - it’s kind of addictive - that cozy haze that the two of you slip into & he can’t imagine a better end to a long day than having you nestled between his arms, warm, scented water lapping against your heated skin - afterwards, he’ll help you dry off, making sure he’s caught every last drop and the two of you will finish up your nightly routine; brushing your teeth, scrubbing your faces and tucking into the bed - he always reminds you to set the alarm, but it’s more of a gentle nag rather than an annoyance, something that makes him, him - then, when the lights are out & darkness engulfs the two of you, he’ll coil himself around you - a quick peck pressed to your temple - yeah, this nurturing & pampering kink will always be at the top of his list 

Aran Ojiro

When it comes to begging he absolutely loves to feel powerful & knowing that you will go to your knees for him, your lips wet and swollen from his kisses, eyes hooded, watching his every move, listening to each drop of encouragement like it’s the last thing you’ll ever hear on this earth - God, how does he say no to that? he wants to hold out, to tell you to give him more, give him another round of gasping pleas and soft lilts of his name - the ones that steadily drip into full voiced cries - he’ll do his best, biting his lip and flaring his nose, jutting his chin so he looks a little more imperious - but those overtures of control aren’t for you - they’re for him - to remind him that he needs to keep going - you like it when he does and how can he do this half-heartedly? especially when you’re giving it your all 

For body mods, would loooove to look at and feel your piercings - he likes the gleam of the silver and the flash of the soft gold - or if you prefer to wear colors he’ll enjoy the variety - liking how they pop against your skin - they look so good on you & he loves when you keep them on in the bedroom, watching how they catch in the low light - tattoos are something that he needs to warm up to - it’s not that he doesn’t like them, but he hasn’t seen many throughout his life and it takes him a beat to adjust - it’s so...well...permanent - an ultimate commitment to a design or an idea - like everything else about you, they’re beautiful and he can’t deny that he likes to trace them when he’s stretched out beside you - fingers feather light as they run up and down the darkened ink - and if they’re in places that only he can see? well, that makes them something special - something that lingers, as soft as a secret, between the two of you 

What about breath play? Oh, yes, yes - he does like this to be done to him, more so than him doing it to you - not that he won’t, but he prefers the feel of you fingers as they tense and press against him - it’s a warm feeling and he likes passing off this piece of control to you - watching your face as you loom over him, your eyes hazy, thighs tight around his waist - he can feel it so clearly - the twitch of your feet as they curl under your legs, the light brush of your breath against his heated skin, the blurring of the colors as you give him another squeeze - ugh, that lightheadedness is second to none and when he taps his fingers over yours, signalling that he’s reached his limit, that first gasp is heaven - the feel of his pulse and your scattering of kisses as he comes back to himself - yeah, he likes this best when it’s you doing it to him 

Loves to tease you as much as he possibly can - this fully escapes the bedroom as well - in his mind, it’s like that sweet taste of the meal that’s to come - so if that means he’s pressing up against you on the train, cupping your ass on the street, trailing his fingers up and down your waist, pulling at the band of your panties, or tickling you under your shirt, you better believe he’s going to take full advantage of these little moments and get you nice and flustered - he likes watching you as you worm away from him, swatting at his curious fingers and smattering of kisses - he never thought he’d be a PDA guy, but something about you makes him completely lose his head & he doesn’t care who sees it

He is the fucking ace & I feel would like some form of cock worship - he loves when you tell him how big, how thick, how perfect his dick is - ‘how does it make you feel? come on, gimme some more. you like it? do you like that?’ - he wants to hear about all of those details - just how he can take your breath away and how he can make it better - he wants you to be absolutely lost in the sheer feeling of it all - he’s always sure to give you plenty of feedback - letting you know that he loves how your tongue traces along his shaft - swirl it, ahhh, just like that - ‘it’s all yours, just for you baby’ ‘you’re doing such a good job.’

All that cock worship did lead into face fucking during one particually heated session and once he felt you sputtering and gasping for air as you were going down on him - well, he can’t get that picture out of his head now - he’ll look into some methods, cuz he doesn’t wanna hurt you, but he’ll love sinking his fingers into your hair and thrusting up into your spread lips until you’re a drooling mess

Big, big discipline kink - he gets off on telling you what to do and making sure that you know just who you owe your sexual gratification to - ‘keep still for me’ ‘don’t move a muscle, you’re perfect like this.’ - this kink he fell into naturally and it always gives him such a hard on when he sees you listening for his next command - ‘no. stop. spread them wider. yes, just like that…’ - if you push back against his control, oh, he secretly likes that most of all - thinking up that perfect punishment, his fingers itching to smack against the curve of your hip in the meantime - he’s always sure to scold you, but he likes to take his time and let you settle in before he enacts his plans 

Loves to see you in some heels - he’d like boots too - anything that makes your calves and thighs flex - oooooh, that looks so fucking sexy - ‘you can leave those on, in fact do leave them on. I don’t think i’ve seen enough just yet.’   

Atsumu Miya

Begging, yes - for HIM - he adores when you make him absolutely mindless with want - he prefers when you use soft whispers at first, your mouth tickling beside the shell of his ear, your teeth nipping at his neck, asking him how much he wants you to move on as you tease your nails up and down his dripping cock - ‘ugh, come on! yer’ not being fair!’ he’ll grumble, thighs stuttering upward, not caring how strained his voice is becoming - he’ll always push back, it’s too encoded in his DNA for him not to, impatient and eager for you to work him to that edge already - so expect him to whine and grunt out his displeasure - hips rocking disobediently into your clenched fist - he knows you’ll snap at some point - he can hear it in your tone - yes, just a little bit more and you’ll be sinking your fingers into his blonde hair, jerking his head back and fully voicing your warnings, asking him if he thinks he really deserves more - he does of course and he knows you’ll give in once he starts to chant your name, lacing it with a few ‘please babe, let me fucking cum, I’ll be good! I swear!’ - he’s a total liar, but how can you possibly refuse him when his voice hitches into a high pitched whine and he pleads so nicely?

SUB SUB SUB - did I mention that he’s a sub? there’s just something about handing the control over in the bedroom that makes his knees quake - however, he’ll fight back & give you a good run for your money - he’ll come across as very boisterous, and will use that braggadocio initially to act as though he plans on dominating you, tossing out incendiary comments and digs - but all of this is a facade, and he’s just trying to rile you up, seeing how long it takes you to take control - he likes seeing your eyes flash when he flat out ignores or thwarts your commands - he wants you to knock him back down, your tensed thighs holding his toned muscle underneath - trapping him, holding him still, forcing his rambling taunts to quiet - it feels so good when you’re like this and he’s never been one to deny himself something that felt right - especially when that control 

comes wrapped in an alluring package, complete with the knowledge that you’ve got him all to yourself

When it comes to sensory play, he prefers the blindfold - likes having to listen and try and keep up with where you are - plus the gasping shock of your lips and teeth, tugging on his earlobe, nipping at his collarbone, sucking on his pectorals, licking his nipples, tonguing teasingly his bellybutton, or even biting against his inner thigh - it always makes his heart pound and he likes to try and give you a cheeky peck each time he can feel you shifting nearer, grinning wildly when his lips smack against your skin wetly - yeah, yeah, keep still, he knows - it’s not his fault yer’ irresistible 

For a clothed sex kink he loves, loves, loves when you can’t keep your hands off of him - and when you’re rubbing yourself up against that rising bulge in his pants he’s gonna absolutely melt - it’s just a bonus if he gets to return the favor - the idea that you’re so into him that you cannot wait, oh fuck, that’s better than anything - and he means that - anything - and if you happen to come on to him right after a game before he’s had a chance to change out of his uniform, sweat sticking the wicking polyester to his skin, your hands pushing his shorts up his tensed thighs and tugging his jersey up, pretty sure his soul will leave his body and his dick will be painfully hard, instantly - you’ll pull away when his teammates start to follow him down the locker room corridor, giving him a cheeky kiss on the lips with a carefree ‘see you in a little bit!’ as you walk off - great, he was looking forward to a hot shower but looks like it’ll have to be a cold one before heading to the post-game interview

As with Oikawa, it’s in writing and contractual, you’re going to have to say you like his cock - well LOVE his cock - often and repeatedly - let him know just how much you need and adore it - how you like sucking him off until he’s a shivering mess, precum leaking from the tip, staining your hands and dripping between your fingers - tell him, keep telling him until he can’t think - so lost in all of that praise and hungry want that he’s holding his breath even tensing his muscle - not wanting anything to get in the way of him hearing your heaping appreciation 

Cunnilingus and face sitting game is on lock - this is something that he wants and honestly, needs, sometimes even more than you - when you shove his face down and tell him to get you off, right now - damn it, that makes him so fucking hard - he’ll whine about your grip, or why can’t you keep yer’ hips still? he can’t do his job when you’re bucking like that - but don’t be fooled, he likes when you trap him between those silken thighs, your fingers carding and yanking through his blonde locks - he loves seeing that blissed out look on your face when he’s done - yeah, he did that, go on, tell him how good he is, his warm cheek resting against your quivering thighs

Baby, in this relationship, you get to degrade him - call him a dumb fuck, a stupid man whore, you’re such a little bitch for my cunt, you want more? i don’t think you deserve it so you better up your fucking game - now, all of this is all said with a teasing tone and a hint of challenge, you and he both want him to prove you wrong - these kinds of taunts and half serious snarks really fuel that competitive spirit that’s always lurking within him - he’ll flex those honed muscles - trapping you under him and slinging one of your legs over his shoulders - fingers already slipping over your clit - ‘what’s the matter? ya’ told me to up my game, maybe watch what you wish for, hmmm?’ 

A quick face fucking is one of the ways this man tests you - he’ll give you a swift pump of his hips when you least expect it, shoving his cock toward the back of your throat and groaning as you sputter and heave around him - but he doesn’t want to go too far - no, he knows this will lead to something else - something with a little more bite - maybe a shove - or a smack against his ass - perhaps your nails digging into his hips, leaving bright crescents in his skin - it’s all about that small jolt of pain that blends with the pleasure - but he doesn’t like prolonged pain - he mainly does this so he can see how you’ll scold him for his impudence 

This man lives for play wrestling - just the whole back and forth and the grabbing and cupping and touching - feeling your skin warm up - sweat starting to sheen against your brow -  watching as you grapple for that oh so important control - it’s so fucking fun - he wants to lose though - so, so bad - please, make him end up under you - he’s begging you, it’s so hot

Food play would be kinda a joke to him? ‘Like, babe, hey, hey look, I got some cheese whiz’ - just the silliest food items - staypuff marshmallows - let’s see how many chips he can janga on you, to the point where this isn’t even about sex anymore, it’s now just a competitive game for him - would attempt to do a body shot but it would totally be in a terrible spot and it would just spill all over you, his tongue desperately trying to lap the alcohol off your skin - but ahhh, it would be so fun & any kinda laughter from you is sexy to him

Sexy video calls are his thing, especially when he’s away with the team - it’s the only time you’ll see the facetime notification from him & he does at the worst times - no regard for time zones either - doesn’t check, or ask what you’re doing that day - doesn’t even give a warning text - just calls - and then, when you hang up, or deny the call - cuz ya’ know you’re running errands, driving, out with friends (a planned event that you KNOW you told him about) he’s just dialing and re-dialing & getting so upset - finally he’ll call you, normally, only to panic and berate you - ‘hey! are ya’ UPSET? is this a fight? Are we fighting right now? oh God, are you trying to break up with me??’ and you’re just like, no, babe, i’m trying to check out, stahp & you can hear his pout over the phone and lets out a long: ‘‘uuuugh, i have to WAIT?? man.’ - worst of all, he knows he’s bad at it, so he always has the time to wait - ‘you know you can get off by yourself, you don’t need to do this’ ‘but it’s not the saaaaaame...i want to see you, is that so WRONG??’ - it’s just this strange ingrained harassment that you have to deal with - but it’s worth it, kinda... 

Another thing to watch out for during away games; he never fails to steal your favorite, or lucky, pair of panties that you like to save for special occasions - when it’s missing and you accost him about it he’s just, ‘yeah i took it. i need it for the game!’ - basically any pair that you like, or if it’s got a cute saying or image on it, he’s yinking it and will tell you, out loud, that he is taking it - and he always lets out an audible ‘YONK’ from the bedroom when he does it - apparently, he needs both you on call AND your panties to get him through these “lonely nights” - ‘you are only gone for one night….there is no plural.’ ‘sorry fer’ loving you!’

Osamu Miya

Would absolutely be down for some good, old fashioned bondage play - this proclivity will extend to you, rather than himself - he doesn’t like that confined feeling - it puts him too much into his head & when he gets like that his mind wanders - and the last thing you want is a fully distracted Osamu - you might be able to salvage the session, but if he starts thinking about new menu items to add to the shop, eh, sorry babe, game over - but when it comes to you? oooh, you look so good when you’re twisted around and contorted like that - he can keep you to any position that he wants and if he decides to wrap a blindfold over your eyes, damn, it’s almost too much - the way you shake, your breath coming out in little puffs as you wait for his hand to dance across you once more, fuck, ain’t that just so pretty

For breath play you’re pretty much on an even playing field - that sense of breathlessness, the hunger for the air, for the feel of your lips as you let him rise back to himself - the kisses are just so much sweeter, the taste savory, almost bittersweet as they linger against him - he also enjoys all of the unbidden reactions it ekes out of him - that twitch in his legs - the arch of his spine - it’s unexpected and a little intoxicating - when it comes to you though, he doesn’t like to use his hands - while he does see himself as someone who is a little more tactile, he’d rather be tensing a strip of cloth, or the slick coolness of a leather collar - he likes that they give him the ability to focus on you - grey eyes trained on your heaving breasts and glowing face - he also likes that the collar or binding free up his wide palms, letting him rub them along your sides, cupping your curves, tweaking your nipples as he lets you slip into that foggy state

While I don’t think he’d mind hearing how much you like to suck and worship his cock, he can’t help that look of wonder that falls over his stoic face the first few times - he’ll shake his head and give you that quirked grin, eyes shining with quiet pleasure as he tells you to knock it off - ‘what? yer’ crazy. honestly, you wanna make me blush?’ - however, every once in a while, he’ll ask you to tell him again - quietly with a pale dusting of pink staining his cheeks, eyes half lidded, waiting - ‘it’s just nice, can’t i like nice things?’

This man is the fucking tweet: ‘girl i’ve been eating pudding cups without a spoon all my life, i will make you cry’ levels of good at cunnilingus - You’ve got this flavor that he just cannot get enough of - and he’ll be fully vocal about this as he goes down on you - ‘fuck! how do ya’ taste like the best thing i’ve ever had?!’ ‘stop squirming, get back here! i’m not done.’ - on and on. like, to the point where you’re having to shove his face away because you cannot feel your clit anymore - that’s the other thing, he gets so off on that - he can read every twitch of your legs, the way your hips jolt upwards, he can taste when you’re about to gush all over his waiting face, can tell when you’re seconds from the edge of another orgasm - plus, there’s the bonus of knowing that no one else could ever, ever do this for you - how could they? how could anyone else ever appreciate this delicious pussy like he does? - yeah, he’s cocky as fuck about it - what are you gonna do? tell him no? there’s no way you’d ever turn this down

So, unsure if this fully counts as exhibitionism, but I can see you coming in one night as he’s closing up shop and him just ushering you to the back and absolutely railing you against the three tiered sink - he’d do the usual, ‘shhh, shhhhh, you want em’ to hear?’ as he’s planting your hands down against the cool stainless steel, grabbing hold of your hips and tilting them up just right, teasing his dripping cock through your folds until you’re moaning - I mean, it’s his store - all the employees are gone for the night and he owns the cameras, so why not take advantage? Besides, you look too damn cute in that little outfit - don’t wear stuff like that if you don’t want him snatching you away 

Food play? Yes, for sure - someone who thinks about & likes food that much would enjoy indulging with this kink the bedroom - I also see him as very orally inclined - so things that he can lick or suck off - Oof, he’ll love doing that - how far you wanna go? you wanna try out some new things? cut some fruit or spread some creamy peanut butter over yourself? he’s got ideas and he’s always up for some experimentation - he’ll let you tell him when to stop cuz he can go for a loooong time - think of it like a very prolonged, tasty, exercise in foreplay - it lets him work up a killer appetite too - so be prepared to go out for some food after these sessions - hurry up, hop in the shower - he’ll take one with you if your promise not to distract him too much - he’s starving and he can’t wait to tuck into some delectable foods - he saw there was a new food truck by the stadium, if you get a move on they might still be open - he likes when you come with him on these ventures but if you want to lounge around in bed after the clean up he won’t complain, just don’t expect the best pickings - he told you, he’s hungry

He’ll do his best with discipline play but he gets lazy about it - sometimes he’ll let you push your luck for awhile, sucking his teeth and tutting at your impudence as he warns you about your cheek - but he’s not fooling anyone - he’s easily distracted and most of the time he forgets all about his threats, too absorbed by the feel of you against him - look, it’s a lot of work, ok? cut him some slack, he’ll get you back later...maybe...if he remembers  

Would certainly love a good massage - he works with his hands & if you massaged his fingers and rubbed his upper back - your nails scritching along his shoulders, fingers pressing all of those aches away as you kneel over him, thighs caging in his narrow hips - oh, he’ll turn into putty & will do anything you ask - ehhh, actually it depends on what you’re asking - he’s not about to give the whole of the Black Jackals free meals, or all of your friends - don’t look at him like that, it’s a business  

Rintarō Suna

Begging, yes - are you kidding? do you know who this is? yes, he wants you to be absolutely broken & sobbing for his dick - he’s quiet about it though, cat like eyes watching as he leaves you trembling under him, waiting on bated breath for your pleas - you know what he wants, you can practically see it, shimmering around his angled features, lingering in that arched smile he’s giving you - come on - how’s he supposed to know what you want if you don’t ask? he’ll give it to you - in good time  

With bondage? he’s bordering on a full out BDSM kink, for sure - he has all the toys and the trappings - cuffs? he’s got at least 4 - some are metal, some softer materials, and others are makeshift, carefully tucked away and waiting for you - same goes for blindfolds, collars, bedpost restraints, thigh cuffs, paddles, you name it, he’s got it - likely has it in a few colors, too - don’t worry, he’ll make it easy for you - all you need to do is listen and he’ll position you perfectly - yes, just like that. you’re perfect when you’re spread and waiting

Now, with all of these toys and demands and shifting positions keep in mind that he always takes the path of least resistance - secretly, he’s hoping you’re too distracted by the sensations he’s eeking out of you to notice that he’s hardly putting any strain on himself - and how is that fair? this man is the literal king of contortion - he’s got excellent core control - so why are you the one who’s bent like a pretzel? when you point this out he’ll give you a sheepish look, eyes widening and lips pursing - alright, alright, you’ve got a point - he’ll do better, making sure to show you that you’re not the only who who can bend into those tense positions - but keep an eye on him - the second you start to get comfortable he’ll slack off again - he can’t help it 

He likes for you to be bound when he face fucks you - he wants to see how much you can take before you’re trying to suck down those gulping heaves of air as he pushes more and more of his cock into your mouth - the hungry slide of your tongue as it slips heavily along the underside of his dick, pressing into that one snaking vein that he likes you to play with - this is the ultimate, ultimate display of trust - that you let him hold you against him, your hands pinned behind your back, face completely disheveled and those vibrating moans echoing from your lips, flooding his pulsing cock with the sheer sensation of you 

Breast teasing is likely one of his first moves - as soon as your shirt’s off he’s shoving your bra under your chin and going to town - he’ll use a mix of his tongue and teeth, sucking and nipping - tawny eyes watching over the curve of your breast - he likes to look for those sensitive spots and you can feel his grin each time he discovers a new one - he’ll leave you a saliva streaked mess before he moves on - lips smacking as he finally relents 

I don’t think he’d like hearing how much you like his cock; I think he’d love it - there’s just something about those low murmurs that you give him as you pause in your sucking and licking, fingers still curled around his straining length, thumbing some precum off of his tip - tell him how good it looks, how it feels, how you like the throbs and twitches it does when you lower your lips to him - the excitement that he feels, that swell of burgeoning pride, oh that will be reflected in each groan and hiss of pleasure that he gives you, fingers sinking into your hair, helping you along and pulling you away when he wants to hear more  

Somehow, you’re not quite sure how, Rin made cunnilingus into some kinda game - he’s the guy who will tease, tease, tease - to the point where you’ll be locking your legs around his shoulders and trying your best to force his tongue back and he’ll be stubbornly shifting back, eyes blazing up at yours, dark hair askew from the grip of your hand - he’ll fill you with his fingers, to ease the ache and then lightly skirt his lips along your soaking folds - waiting until you start to shiver - sometimes he’ll switch things up, content to dive in head first and work you through blinding orgasms that leave you twitching, your hands pressing at the top of his head, trying to get him to ease up - you’re never sure which option he’s going to go for - his face utterly impassive

Totally has a soft spot for giving you instructions - like a, ‘plant your hands on the edge of that table and spread your legs,’ or ‘you better not cum yet, be a good girl for me & wait’ - they’re always said in that deliciously sinful lower octave too - and he makes a point of keeping his voice steady, completely controlled, never letting his own eagerness bleed through - he likes when you listen, body automatically snapping into position, your eyes hungry for more as he paces around you, a pleased smile lifting his lips - so, so good, how can he not reward such exemplary control and compliance

He does enjoy the teasing aspect of play wrestling - he likes the back and forth and loves the expressions you make when he shocks you with his agility and flexibility - it’s likely the one time he’ll willingly use his expert control and contortion without being asked - it’s honestly a bit of a training session - seeing how long he can hold you when he’s bent like that, powerful abdominal muscles rippling with the effort - yes, this is another game for him but he does want you to know that you’re only getting as far as he wants you to - there’s no way he’s gonna back down, not when he can work you under him, or trap you onto of his lap, sighing as your slick pussy eases over his straining cock

You probably guessed this one - yes, he does like to film and photograph you in and outside the bedroom - at the beginning of the relationship, he loves to take candid shots of you - he likes to have your pictures on his phone, unfiltered, and normally it’s just you, though sometimes you can coax him into a selfie - but mostly it’s just of you, he doesn’t like to “mess up the shot” as he puts it - he’ll post, in his opinion, the best ones and if that happens to be of you, mid-sneeze, well that’s on you - stop looking so cute, maybe? - he also always captions these “bae xoxo” it’s infuriating - as the relationship deepens, so do the amount of pictures and videos on his phone, which go from sweet and candid to x-rated very quickly - in the bedroom, he legitimately has a stand for his phone - & he did try to bring a boom mic in for, you know, for the creation of a potential sex tape, but you flat out told him no - after realizing, this dream will never be allowed to play out, he takes enjoyment out of scrolling through the photos and rewatching (or re-admiring as he calls it) the videos as often as he can - if that happens to be on the subway literally on the ride home, well, who can blame him?
