I'm editing my posts, I finally got around to writing something about my fictional caregiver 🥺

[samskaterguy]

In the mean time while I try and make my 2003 Mondo Gecko AU art I might as well give some basics on him!

Quick content warnings! Mentions of eye licking as geckos do that, gang activity/violence, a bit of murder and animal experimentation 

- His gecko species is a gold crested day gecko or a “gold dust day gecko” aka one of these bad boys

- He has fully functioning eyelids but he still has the capability to lick his eyes as most geckos do, the only difference is that he doesn’t NEED to. He does so because he thinks it makes him look cool and “hardcore” but he just ends up hurting his eyes.

- Him and Mikey are besties but that’s just kind of a given, he skateboards, but also roller skates. 

- He’s FTM transgender (he/him pronouns), ask me how that works I have no idea but shhhh it’s fun and this is literally a series about teenage mutant ninja turtles so a trans gecko is not out of the realm of possibility.

- Similarly to IDW Mondo he can camouflage and stick to walls. 

- He has black hair much like his 1987 counterpart.

- His backstory is still being worked out but he has a “Mr. X” in this AU and he..was removed, and then after being moved in with the purple dragons before leaving after he was treated poorly, and on his run and escape is where he meets Mikey for the first time.

- Mr. X is a scientist and (former) gang leader, he was experimenting with human and animal mutation before his goons looked into TCRI and blah blah blah found ooze, took a human DNA sample from himself (or some person from his gang) and infused it with a baby gecko. I think you know the rest.

- Mondo would be raised by Mr. X until the purple dragons came to town and they had a similar deal like with Casey’s father, and, well Mr. X was late on his payment. Mondo was discovered, as a now 14 year old and would spend the next year with the purple dragons being treated horribly. He already knew what he was doing with a gang, but they didn’t take kindly to a skater teenage gecko. He was a best kept secret from Shredder, until maybe news broke? Mondo didn’t like the evil plans? Still deciding on that. 

- Well either way, Mondo is on the run from the purple dragons for days after he escapes, and he finds his way tot he sewers where he meets (and terrifies) an orange clad turtle with a girly scream.

- Mondo hears Mikey’s scream and it’s the funniest thing he’s heard ever in his life, so he breaks down laughing. Mikey chills out after realizing this stranger isn’t any harm to him or at least means no harm. They get to talking until Casey (who Mikey called in a fit of fear and desperation when his brothers wouldn’t help him, it’s April 1st soooo they didn’t trust it) knocks him out with his hockey stick, causing an argument between the two on what to do.

- They just take him back to the lair for Splinter to figure out, maybe Donnie can look at him in the morning? 

That’s all I have for now and, honestly I’m still working on stuff like specifics, how exactly this fits in with the whole Shredder narrative and backstory with Hun and the purple dragons but I’ll get there. I still haven’t made a single piece of art and I need to because I have this idea for “Same As It Never Was” with a future Mondo’s fate and just a bunch of other art with him being a goofy friend to the turtles who helps them out, him hanging out with the family, on missions with them, or just skateboarding around the sewers and it’s not like I’ve said everything yet like I haven’t touched his dynamic with the turtles, Splinter, April and Casey!

Also I’m sorry if this is long or disorganized I was just writing all of my thoughts because I’ve been sitting on them for the better half of a year and I didn’t want to wait on it anymore, also hey it might actually motivate me to make art! Someone else already did so I thought I should finally get on it!

hcs on hunrobul's dynamic? (esp when they were kids/teens?) we got like one canon crumb of them from way back but they r so dear to me🥺

anon u need to let me know what that crumb was because i can't for the life of me recall it at the moment ??' BUT to answer your question:

to me bul & hun are like,, besties who are constantly bickering. they have a strong bond, but those two used to fight ALL the time as kids so i think their competitive streak never left them

out of all the nations who have had issues with her (ro, slovakia, serbia, austria, etc) he's the only one that thinks back to it fondly like, remember when i killed you and took belgrade from you ahahaha and then you murdered my king we were so cool back then ^__^

bul is one sentimental bastard who clings to her because she's been in his life for so long, and hun cares for him because when things were rough he was the only one who could (or wanted to) relate to her and understand her, there are a lot of parallels between the two! they were dumb cocky snotty kids together riding horses and bullying serbia and swordfighting and complaining about the ottomans. meanwhile ro was younger and weaker than them back then so they didn't really pay much attention to him lmao

i see them hanging out together a lot when hungary was under ottoman control and later during communist times whenever possible. of course at the expense of ro whining and complaining about HIS bulgaria hanging out with the horrible magyar woman >:(( note that ro and bul weren't even friends at the time <3

now ROMANIA and hungary is a whole other thing,, obviously they get along like cats and dogs but ro is a lot more outward about it lol he'll just mock her in front of her face it's the most fun thing ever for him!! she acts like she doesn't care (while her eye is twitching with rage <3) and tries to avoid him but it's kinda hard to do when you're neighbours with the guy,, he's her type, she's his type, they're both in denial about it and have been for centuries (with the occasional hatesex) hun doesn't trust ro one bit she thinks he's a backstabbing snake that has enchanted her good friend with his evil twink whims. when the 2 broke up she kept telling bul I TOLD YOU SO !!! as if she doesn't also fantasize abt pegging ro or whatever

have they all slept together yes absolutely! bulgaria is gay to me so i don't see hunrobul as romantic but he's also tired of those 2 going at each other and thinks it's hot when his dom gets dommed so

Bite Me ━ , Elias Vincent,

Warm sand trickled between your toes, creating a soothing sensation as you let out a contented sigh. Leaning back on your elbows, you revealed your well-toned stomach and chest, a result of dedicated hours at the gym. The sight elicited a smile from Shane, who returned your smile warmly. Glancing at the girls sitting beside you, you noticed their wide-eyed expressions and infectious laughter. Unbeknownst to them, you were the shy guy in class, and their amusement seemed to revolve around your unexpected display of abs.

You flashed a friendly smile at the girls and reached for your water bottle, taking a refreshing sip. A peculiar feeling washed over you, the unmistakable sense of being watched. Your gaze scanned the beach, searching for the audacious person who would dare to stare, but when you wiped your lips with the back of your hand, your eyes locked onto a familiar face.

There he was, Elias Vincent, known as the class playboy. Undeniably handsome, but you wouldn't readily admit to harboring any particular fondness for him. So far, your interactions with Elias had been confined to dreams and fantasies, the realm where your desires took flight unhindered.

Locking eyes with Elias, you shot him a questioning gaze, the intensity of his blue eyes colliding with yours. His gaze faltered, and a nudge in his ribs from his friend Oscar caused him to flinch and hiss in response. Amused by the interaction, you couldn't help but smile as you continued sipping your water.

Amidst the playful banter, Alex piped up, inquiring if anyone would be joining them for a swim. Tilting your head slightly, you shrugged one shoulder in response. "Isn't it too cold?" you asked, genuinely concerned about the water's temperature. Alec snorted in amusement. "It's been colder, come on, Ji-Hun," he encouraged, using your name. Reluctantly, you sighed and scooped up some sand before chasing after the black-haired girl.

As you stepped into the chilly water, a sudden gust of wind swept through, causing you to catch sight of Sander and his friends, their smiles directed your way. Returning the gesture, you submerged yourself beneath the surface, feeling the tingling sensation of the cold water against your skin.

Emerging from the water, your glistening skin and dripping hair showcased your god-like physique, drawing all eyes towards you. The stark contrast of the cool water against the earlier hot weather didn't elicit a single complaint from you. Alex smiled, recognizing the attention you commanded, and together, the two of you walked out of the water, becoming the center of attention.

Not only were you older than the rest of the group, but your sculpted physique far surpassed theirs. Some onlookers chuckled knowingly, aware of the effect you had on others, while others simply stared in awe.

Elias, too, was aware of the appeal you held. Despite having Ebba as his girlfriend, he couldn't help but steal glances in your direction. While Ebba possessed beauty, she wasn't necessarily the ideal partner. Rumors had circulated that you were not only handsome but also praiseworthy and genuinely kind. It was said that you never engaged in gossip and were a good listener — a quality that stood out among your peers.

Reflecting on this, Elias clenched his fist, realizing the similarities between you and Ebba. Perhaps she, too, was merely fulfilling her role perfunctorily.

"Hey, dude, what's wrong?" Kevin inquired, noticing Elias's troubled expression. Elias glanced up at him and shook his head. "Nothing, Kevin. Shall we play volleyball?"

The other boys exchanged glances before shrugging their shoulders. "Sure," they agreed, standing up. Elias desired your company, but he hesitated to invite you. After all, he was known as the class playboy, and it would be an odd dynamic for him, someone with a reputation to uphold, to approach a shy guy like you.

As the flames of the sun danced across your skin, you relished in the delightful warmth. Letting out a contented sigh, you expressed your appreciation for the beautiful weather. "You're seriously a child of Zeus, I'm not kidding," Belle teased, and you laughed in agreement.

"Well, what can I say? You're beautiful too," you complimented the girls, causing smiles to spread across their faces. Sitting up, your attention turned towards the volleyball court where Elias was displaying his skill. It had been a while since you played volleyball, and the idea sparked your interest.

"Should we join them?" you suggested, prompting gasps of surprise from the other girls. "Should we?" Donut asked, excitement evident in her voice. Erva shrugged nonchalantly. "Why not?" she replied, seemingly open to the idea.

You, along with the others, stood up, and Shane joined in as well. Belle took the initiative to ask, "Hey, can we play?" The boys exchanged glances before Oscar responded with a nod. "Sure," he agreed, and the teams were formed - you and the girls against the boys.

As the game commenced, you found yourself fully engaged, feeling your stomach muscles and the rest of your body tighten with each movement. Your height and speed gave your team a distinct advantage over the others, and it became evident as the game progressed.

You couldn't help but notice that your contributions on the court seemed to surpass those of the other players. The combination of your physical prowess and agility became a considerable asset to your team's success.

The cheers echoed as the game concluded, and you and the girls celebrated the victory. Despite the initial disappointment, Elias and his friends mustered the sportsmanship to approach and congratulate you. "Well done," Elias acknowledged, extending his hand towards you. You accepted the gesture, shaking his hand firmly. "Well played," you replied, accompanied by one of your winning smiles. Elias found himself momentarily captivated by your charm.

As you retreated to your designated sunbathing spot with the girls, Elias's gaze lingered on you, a fact not lost on Belle and the others. They exchanged knowing smiles, their minds buzzing with ideas to bring you and Elias closer together.

Taking a seat, you engaged in conversation with Vil, one of the lionesses and a dear friend of yours. Vil proved to be kind-hearted and a reliable confidante, and your bond with her strengthened through your shared exchange of words.

As the day drew to a close, you found yourself back home, grateful that it was finally over. Changing into a white singlet that your friend Felix had given you, you reflected on the events of the day. Originally, you were meant to attend a model meeting, but it had been unexpectedly canceled, leading you to spend the day with your classmates instead.

Little did you know that the course of the day would take an even more surprising turn, filled with unforeseen events that would keep you on your toes.

Okay! After having a lot of time to cool off and think about it. I’m sharing my feelings about the Arcane finale.

Spoilers!! Obviously…

I have a LOT of feelings about the first episode of Act 3. Namely about Ekko and Heimerdinger of course.

I LOVE that we got canon TimeBomb, but like in a bitter sweet way. Like Powder is with Ekko in a world where everything turned out pretty okay and he gets to have a taste of what it would be like to see his Powder/Jinx happy. And that being what really gets him that HURTS ME!!😭

I also found him and Heimerdinger’s whole mentor and student dynamic in this episode so cute including how Ekko is responsible for Heimerdinger reigning his love for living both with his invention making during his time with the Firelights and now in the Alternate world. I really love them as a duo, tho I may be a bit biased cuz they are me and my best friend’s favorites and I love when our favorites are friends!

HEIMERDINGER CAN SING???😍🥹

The other thing about this episode is the kinda confirmation that Hextech was essentially at fault for a LOT of the bad things that end up happening to the main cast. If Jayce and Viktor had never been encouraged by Mel and the other council members to pursue Hextech then most of Powder’s family could of survived, giving her a healthy support system to heal from the grief of loosing Vi, Ekko would have got a happy ending, Silco and Vander would have reconciled, Zaun and Piltover even seemed to have been on peace terms, SO MUCH would have been different.

Meanwhile all Jayce got to see was how everything when wrong because of what he and Viktor were chasing after.

The end of this episode and everything after kept me in a constant state of crying🥲.

EVERYTHING ABOUT JINX’S ARC MADE ME WANNA FIGHT GOD FOR HER ISTG. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 SHE AINT DESERVE ALL OF DAT MAAAAAAANNNN.

But she was very lovely with her hair down I will admit😔❤️.

The whole plot with the Black Rose was also interesting and seeing how Mel evolved her powers and became very skilled with them was also a treat.

Ambessa still a bitch tho, I’m glad she’s dead fr🤩

Was REALLY UPSET that Maddie turned out to be a traitor CUZ GIRL I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU TO BE BETTER! I WAS IN YOUR CORNER HUN! Betrayal☹️

EKKO DID IN FACT SAVE US ALL HE WAS AN ABSOLUTE BEAST😍😍😍!

The ending with for Jayce and Viktor was everything. They had the whole “destinies tied together across all universes” and “only you could make me seem the wrong I’ve done” and “all your flaws are perfect to me” thing. They’re whole THING was gayer than then the on screen gay sex LIKE WHAT???

I think they tied it up pretty well.

SWAIN AND ORIANNA JUMPSCARE?👁️👁️

Me and my best friend agree Singed did NOT earn that happy ending. And I stand by that 😤

Little miffed I was lied to about getting more Sevika content. But. Shes a council member now which is cool. Still discriminated against sadly sooooo. Spin-off? Please?

I would talk more about other stuff but sadly I have TERRIBLE memory so I can’t recall most of the little details and there are some things that didn’t impact me enough to talk about😊.

And for those wondering, I believe the next show that’s coming up will be set in Noxus which is where Mel is heading! Soooo MEL FANS! COME GET YA’LL’S JUICE!!

And uuuuh as for the uh. Situations with Jinx and Heimerdinger’s “ends”….

No <3

“Living in educated denial is a far better drug than doing crack.” -A guy who has never done drugs.

So I’ll choose to believe in this far better outcome for the sake of my sanity!😄

Sims 4 Fontenot Legacy - New Dynamics

As promised, Sigrid and Robin plan out her move into the legacy house in a matter of days after their family vacation. Aunt Scarlett, now the matriarch of the house, was more than happy to invite Sigrid in, and even offered her room, the master bedroom, to the young couple. They remake the space and make it perfect for them, and Sigrid settles in in no time.

One morning, Sigrid and Robin sit at the breakfast nook while she eats. Sigrid can't shake an unexplainable sadness washing over her. At this point, Sigrid's parents have passed, and two of her four siblings have also passed. One of her brothers, Johan, has recently passed away, and that makes her sad, but her emotions seem especially heightened, more than usual for her. She wasn't this sad when Veronica died. Not to say she wasn't sad, but this is next level. Robin notices.

Robin: Hey, are you doing alright?

Sigrid: I don't know... I'm feeling really down today and I don't know why.

Robin: Well I mean your brother just died, it's normal to feel down.

Sigrid: No Robin, this is different. I'm not just sad, I'm feeling so emotional. I just can't shake this feeling. I feel like I'm going a little crazy.

Scarlett joins them at the table, but doesn't interfere with the conversation.

Sigrid becomes overwhelmed and puts her head in her hand.

Robin looks at his fiancée with concern but struggles to find the words to say. Then he thinks of something.

Sigrid tries to compose herself.

Sigrid: I'm sorry, I'm being silly.

Robin: No need to apologize. Hey, why don't the two of us go out today? Maybe see a movie? Something to get your mind off of things?

Sigrid: I... guess... it could be fun.

And as soon as Sigrid finished eating and he had a chance to change, the two went for their rabbit hole date. Meanwhile, Sabrina makes their way down from their bedroom and finds their mother sitting at the breakfast nook.

Sabrina: Mornin' Mom.

Scarlett: Good morning, honey! Slept well?

Sabrina: Yeah, overall.

Scarlett: Soooo, I'm just wondering, what's next for you?

Sabrina: Well I just accepted a sous chef position at Chez Llama.

Scarlett: That's great news!

Sabrina: Eh, I suppose.

Scarlett: Suppose? You're not happy?

Sabrina: Not ecstatic, but it's cool. I think I'm just dealing with stuff, y'know?

Scarlett: What's been going on? We really haven't talked too much since you started uni.

Sabrina: So much, Mom. So much... Let's just say, there were some connections that have kind of fizzled out, and I'm just feeling really confused. But, I'm trying to bounce back! I even have a date planned today.

Scarlett: Ooh, a date? Who's the lucky sim?

Sabrina: His name is Marquise. He was a student at Foxbury, actually. We met by chance. He's... nice.

Scarlett: Cute?

Sabrina suddenly feels shy but tries not to show it.

Sabrina: ...Yeah, he's kinda cute. This is our first date. We've only gotten a chance to talk briefly two other times, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes.

Scarlett: Well a cute sim who's from my alma mater? He's already got a few points in my book.

Sabrina: Moooooooommm!

Scarlett: I'm just saying! Also, use protection.

Sabrina: MOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

Scarlett laughs.

Scarlett: Okay okay, I'll stop teasing.

Sabrina: Well, I'm gonna finish getting ready for my date.

Scarlett: Okay hun, have fun!

Shortly after Sabrina leaves for her date, Sigrid and Robin return from their movie. It was a good film, but Sigrid's sadness hasn't changed. If anything, she feels even worse because her fiancé's attempt to cheer her up failed, and she feels guilty about it.

After a therapeutic cry under the blankets, Sigrid sits in solitude in her and Robin's bedroom.

She sits with her sadness, pondering its origin. Sure, the death of her brother is definitely weighing heavy on her, but there's something else. She can feel it. What? A thought pops into her head. Her stomach drops.

Sigrid: Okay, deep breath.

Sigrid waits patiently for the test to process.

Sigrid: Moment of truth...

She takes a close look. Time to know the truth, for better or worse.

My opinion on Squid Game Characters

This is very diferent from my regular content but I watched this show 3 days ago and I enjoyed the fuck out of it so here we goooo!!

!!!Spoilers ahead!!!

Seong Gi-hun

Why the hell is the main character of the show underrated??? I literally don't get it.

He is the most realistic character in the show.

I know for a fact that if he is one of your favorite characters, you have daddy issues. Saying this from my own experience.

He is literally so sweet and huggable?? I love him so much<3

He cares so much for the people around him.

Extremely emotionally intelligent.

Attractive asf.

He struggles a lot, but deep down hes a good person because of his love for his daughter and his upbringing.

HE LITERALLY HAS THE WARMEST LOOK!?!? HIS EYES ARE SO KIND AND HIS SMILE IS SO SOFT.

once again I question.... Why the hell is he underrated??

The people who stan him are the coolest istg.

Am I the only one who has this internal struggle of sometimes seeing him in a fatherly way and other times simply finding him hot?? Maybe I have issues but whatever ig.

His dynamic with Sae-byeok is so sweet, he defienetly became a father figure of sorts for her.

Sang-woo didn't deserve his friendship with Gi-Hun.

I will defend this character with my life.

Sae-byeok

She rightfully gets the attention she deserves.

I literally fell in love with her at first sight, she is so pretty.

I love her to pieces.

Shes my literal girlfriend.

I love her character development so much.

HER HAIR?? I LOVE HER HAIR SO FUCKING MUCH IT LOOKS SO FLUFFY.

She had some great badass moment throughout the show, especially in the beggining.

Her motivation was one of the most valid one out of all of them.

My girl just wanted to bring her mom back from North Korea and for her brother to get out of the orphanage.

I'm happy she managed to survive many of the games but she deserved to win alongside Gi-hun.

Someone give this girl a hug.

I wish Gi-hun could've reasured her about the promise.

It makes me so sad that she got killed by a calculated and cold person. I wish that she could've died peacefully.

We all saw her in that suit right??? She looked gorgeous.

I also am so glad that her character was never wierdly sexualized in the show.

She deserves the world.

Ali Abdul

For starters, I absolutley adore this man.

He was so hard-working and dedicated himself for his little family. His boss was a dick who treated him horribly.

His hair is also extremely fluffy I love it sm.

He is extremely loyal and has a heart of gold. Sadly, that was what eventually killed him.

He was too much of a good human being for this cruel and selfish game.

His introduction was so cool!?!? He single handedly saved Gi-hun's life.

He was strong enough to survive 3 very hard and life-threatening games, it's sad that his good heart and pure trust was what killed him.

The actor did a fantastic job with Ali, I hope to see him in other projects soon.

He loved his family so much.

Ali was so considerate of other people??for example, when Sang-woo wanted him in his team, Ali looked at Gi-hun first to make sure that it was okay for him to accept without hurting anyones feelings.

The only flaw this man has was being too naive.

He is so pretty I love him so much.

He was literally such an easy character to get attached to.

I also loved the South Asian representation in K-drama media!?!? I am not South Asian myself but I personally believe it was very strong rep compared to other K-dramas!!

I literally cried so much when he died, I was full on sobbing. My mom kept calling me dramatic for it lol.

He should've won in the marble game.

Ji-Yeong

WE ONLY GET TO KNOW HER FOR TWO EPISODES BUT I IMMEDIETLY LOVED HER.

She is so fucking cute.

I love her hair and make-up sm.

She has such a carefree attitude I loved it.

Is it kind of concerning that I relate to some aspects of her backstory....?

Her commentary on religion was chefs kiss.

I wish we got to see more of her before her death.

She deserved to have a normal family and childhood.

I love how she spoke her mind with ease, including contreversial topics.

She didn't deserve to be in jail for killing her abusive father who literally killed her mother!!!

"Thank you...! For playing with me..."

Her and Sae-byeok deserved to go to Jeju island and have a girls night.

Can we talk about how selfless this girl was? She literally sacrificed herself for a person she met a few days ago.

Her smile right before she died made me cry so hard.

Joon-ho

He is so attractive... that was literally the first thing I thought when I first saw him lmfao.

Nah but besides that he is also very cool!?!? The way he infiltrated the Squid Game facilities with such ease was very intresting to watch.

The moment between him and the vip made me gag, the vip was so gross for that and im glad Joon-Ho put him in his place.

HOW TF DID HIS PHONE BATTERY LAST SO LONG WHEN HE NEVER EVEN CHARGED IT!?!?

His character was done so dirty in the end, he tried so hard to bring his brother back just for his brother to shoot him.

Call me delusional but I still do not think that he is actually dead?? We didn't actually see him die and there is a possibility he could've survived the fall since it was in the ocean and he only got shot in the shoulder.

He was strong asf, both mentally and physically.

I really enjoyed how he was pretty awkward at first when he was undercover but then he managed to adjust better overtime.

In general I hope we get to see more of him if we do get a season 2.

Cho Sang-woo

Most of his stans annoy me, im sorry.

I hate how their argument to justify his actions is that he is "realistic".

Just because a character is selfish and a bad person at core doesn't make him realistic... Sheesh y'all make me loose hope in humanity sometimes.

Sang-woo has been selfish from the very beggining, he literally stole money from clients!!

Theres nothing realistic about setting up your bestfriend to certain death in the second game like....? He was willing to go that far already?

He killed Ali without feeling any sort of guilt. He literally only flinched and acted like nothing happened, which could be blamed on the writing, but it also shows where his morals lie.

There was seriously no need for him to kill Sae-byeok, she was already injured enough, what was the point of killing her so cruely?

He literally killed the man who helped him in the glass game the moment that he wasn't any use of him.

I actually found him much more dangerous than Deok-su who was atleast transperant about his actions.

The actor did an amazing job and I love the guy who plays him!

ALSO I HATE HIS CHARACTER BUT I WILL SAY THAT HE IS ATTRACTIVE.

And I must admit the character is a very well-written and intresting one, but he is someone whos actions cannot be fully justified, or even fully understood.

Jang Deok-Su

Do I hate him? Yes.

Do I think that without him the show would be less engaging? Yes.

I find him a very intruguring character, I actually see him as a reflection of Sang-woo of sorts.

We do not talk about the bathroom scene.

I found his relationship with Mi-nyeo funny, im sorry my humor is literally that bad.

The actor actually played the part perfectly! I actually appreciate the amount of work he put into this character.

Also the actor is literally a sweetheart who posts fan edits and pictures of his cats. If you send him any death threats I swear to god-

HE HAD HIS FUNNY MOMENTS ALRIGHT?? HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WERE ALWAYS ON POINT.

But in general, his character was obviously someone I heavily disliked but also someone who was enjoyable nonetheless.

Annnnd thats a wrap for the characters I wanted to talk about!! Thank you for sticking with me til the end. Who is your favorite character in Squid Game and why? I would love to know!<3

.*•…………………..•⊹•…………………..•*.

he had your body stripped bare, perched up upon the bathroom bench beside the sink, naked skin pressed against the mirror, its cool exterior making your flesh shiver with excitement, legs spread awaiting him. with the avoidance of his gaze, you allowed your fingers to dip between your thighs as he prepared himself, his body also void of clothing, phone in hand, casually setting it up onto a tripod, also positioned on the bench.

his lean figure clouded in a fog of steam, the hot water warmed the small hotel bathroom the two of you had enclosed yourself in. the sight made you cunt drip with want, so eagar and needy for him. your index and middle fingers smoothed soft circles around your clit, your sensitive pearl twitching with delight in simply watching him.

he peered back at you momentarily, his stare cold, dominating as soon as he noticed you toying with yourself, having now, two of your own fingers roughly pumping your sweet void, he said nothing in response, only motioning for you to spread your legs wider so that he, and the camera could gain a better view.

you felt confident, watching for yourself on the screen of his phone, often menovering slightly so that you could get a better angle. it was always a delight watching yourself, it sparked an arousal like nothing else, many people would call you egotistical for it, but you did not care. your eyes would flutter from the screen to his frame, noticing that his cock was now firm in his palm, softly pumping himself to the sight of you, soft grunts leaving his lips, only you in frame for the moment.

“you look so fucking good, baby” he grunted through clenched teeth, it sounded more of a muttering to himself, as if he were watching you through the screen rather than in real life. “play with your sweet pussy for the camera…yeah…just like that…”

you giggled at his words, soft moans following as your cunt began to swell with arousal. he knew you were close, but he was not going to let you cum by your own fingers. he intervened, prematurely halting, or in your words, ruining your orgasm. he pried your fingers from your soaked void, your walls still clenching around air as the friction was pulled away. the sensation, the emptiness was soon replaced by his fingers, roughly mimicking the movements of your own. you could not help but cry out in pleasure, your body on the brink of orgasm, shaking and convulsing with such intense desire for him.

“s-sir…” a gentle whimper left your lips, his honorific broken through soft stutters. the tightness of your cunt apparent, thickly clenching, pulsing around his thick digits. you peered up at him, mind so thoroughly fucked out even just with his fingers, lids half-closed, staring up at him through your your eyelashes.

still, nothing. he kept quiet, allowing the camera to capture the sounds of your pleasured screams only, he would be reviewing the footage later on after all. trying your best to suppress your moans, you bit your bottom lip harshly, enough that you were sure that blood would be drawn. his free hand wrapped around your throat tightly, a gasp leaving your lips as he captured them in yours, moaning deeply into your mouth, his tongue in a war with yours.

a pulse formed in your stomach, it was strong, constant, and only increased the more his fingers continued to ruin you. the sensation of his digits stretching your walls, exploring every crevice of your cunt, you could not explain it, it was a whirlwind of emotion, euphoric, intimate, erotic, sinful, even more so as he drew you closer and closer to orgasm/

“cum.” he simply stated, already pushing you past your breaking point where you had no choice but to release.

your head flung back in pleasure, sweetness coating his fingertips, the bathroom bench flooded with your juices. he pulled his fingers from your void, your cunt still seizing with pleasure, wetness still spilling from your already fucked out hole.

making his way back to his phone, he positioned it so that it was now facing the shower, the steam causing a light fog to cover the lens, almost giving the scene a euphoric dreamlike effect. he stepped into the shower, allowing the water to warm his body as he awaited for you to join him. on shaky legs you managed to step down from the counter, slowly making your way towards him, eventually joining him under the warmth of the water.

as soon as the warm droplets hit your skin, he had you pushed against the glass, the shower door cool against your burning skin, his cock pressed up against your ass, grinding against the supple flesh.

“god you’re such a slut for the camera, baby…” he growled deeply into your ear, his thick cock swiping against your dripping folds. “gonna enjoy fucking your pathetic cunt…”

your cunt already primed with your sweetness, making his entrance without fault. his hand returned to your throat, squeezing tighter than he previously had. your round, perky tits pressed up against the glass, in full view of his phone, capturing every lovely second of him ruining you.

“dumb sluts like you deserved to be ruined…” he grunted, momonatily breaking his sentence with each vicious thrust. ones you very much enjoyed. you adored the way he fucked you like this, unrestriced, raw, voilent in the most loving way as ironic as it sounds. when he was rough, you felt the most protected, the most loved. it was something primal, something animalistic had been unleashed inside him, and god be damned if it was not the hottest thing you had ever witnessed or experienced for that matter.

he had released the grip on your throat momentarily, turning his attention to your scalp, a fistful of hair wrapped in his fingers, tugging roughly, pulling you back against his chest. his cock slamming into you with full wanted force, once again in full view of his phone.

your pleasured whines were muffled against the glass, cunt clenching around his cock, just begging for his seed. you hips bucking back against his size, coating his length with your slickness, easing him deeper inside of you. he bottomed out instantly, his cock hitting your cervix with the most wonderous pain, it sent you reeling with pleasure.

“s-sir…” you muttered his honorific again, determined to finish your sentence. “gonna cum…p-please can i-i cum?”

the pace of his thrusts increased, so did his force. it felt as if his cock was going to split you in half! he left a trail of wet sloppily kisses down your neck, accompanying them with deep purple marks, his teeth nipped at the skin softly, a growl emitting from his lips, a signal for your release.

you could not hold on much longer, for his cock was ruining you all to well! your hips pushed back against the force of his cock, edging yourself on until your body could no longer take it. your juices coated his length with a sweet musk that he could never get enough of, your scent was intoxicating even more so when it flooded his cock.

“cum around my cock like the dumb little slut you are” he groaned , reveling in the sweet clench of your cunt around his cock. “such a fucking cock whore, your only purpose is to take my seed, baby…”

he was very much correct in that matter. you loved nothing more that his seed filling your sweet pussy. nothing satisfied you more than watching it drip out from your folds and down your inner thighs. tonight was no exception, he buried himself deep within you, his seed emptying inside your tight warmth, as previously stated, dripping from your soaked folds, down your innner thighs.

he kept himself buried within you, letting your a breath of contentment, leaning down the slightest, muttering a soft, “are you alright?” as he gently pressed his lips to yours as you gave a soft nod in response.

it was a comfort to know his dominant ways were only reserved for such intimate settings and that he would revert back to his original character once it was over. he pulled out of you with a soft groan, much to your dismay, wanting him to keep himself within your walls for much longer than intended.

he got out of the shower momentarily, pausing the recording on his phone, turing it of and placing it upon the counter before eventually rejoining you. he wrapped his arms around your waist, resting his chin upon your shoulder.

“why don’t we get you cleaned up and then we can watch over the footage?” he suggested with a flirtatious smirk. “how does that sound, baby?”

[nekucreates]

I finished watching the Angels of Death / Satsuriku no Tenshi anime y’all… AND IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD OMG??????????? I also gotta finish reading the manga and finish watching a game playthrough still! I kept behind the episodes I was watching as the anime is how I wanted to experience the story! And ah I’m so happy I finally got into this series! Truth be told, when the game came out I didn’t think much of it. I thought it was cringy and like Creepypasta, that was my impression of Zack especially (thought he was like a rip off Jeff the Killer and I’ve always thought Jeff wasn’t a compelling character and had a weak story). Buuuuut of course my mind is changed! I still don’t think much of the game as some of the dialogue is just meh (maybe an English translation issue), but I can see aspects of it that are enjoyable. And of course I think the anime and manga are both great adaptations! I prefer them over the original game. The manga gives a lot more depth to each character that even the anime didn’t do, so I do recommend reading and watching both! To get the full story and content! And the art and animation in both is beautiful! Zack is especially cool in the manga!!! Ahhhh. So much pretty Zack art!

Oh and I watched the English anime dub! As I heard it was good AND IT IS.

Another fun fact: when the anime came out, I saw a compilation of Zack’s Japanese laugh which made me think the anime was bad??? Again I WAS WRONG. About the anime being bad! Uh but *whispers* I still think his Japanese laugh is…silly. His English laugh though! I liked that! The English cast did such a good job with EVERY character! I usually prefer watching in Japanese but I think the English cast was stronger (again ZACK). That’s my personal opinion! The English crazy Zack laugh was cool!

Anyway, I bet y’all can guess that Zack ended up being my fav. Astounding considering all my first impressions of him was so negative! Isn’t that fascinating?! He’s so cool! His design is top tier! DUDE USES A SCYTHE HELLO?! He made me feel bad for him! Uhh whenever he openly calls himself ‘dumb’ I was mentally like ‘NO ZACK DONT SAY THAT HUN’. :( dude never went to school, it isn’t his fault.

Rachel was a very compelling protagonist! Though I guess she and Zack were duo protagonists! Anyway, I loved how much mystery there was to her. I couldn’t figure her out fully until it was all revealed. There’s still some things about her that are unclear buuuut I think the manga will patch all the holes!

The best aspect of this series is the dynamic between Rachel and Zack. Brains and brawn. They depend on each other for selfish reasons, at first. Which was interesting to watch! It gave me heavy found family/sibling vibes. Uh I definitely avoid the fans that ship them…because gross. Rachel is 13 and Zack is in his 20s… so can people just not??? It’s like Ib and Garry all over again I swear. So yeah stay away from me if you’re into gross stuff like that.

ANYWAY I’m excited to finish the other Angels of Death media soon too! And am already drawing some art (and purchasing merch)!

Updated version

Fave Ninja Turtles blank by cekena on DeviantArt

clearly i have a preference for the 03 series lol

leonardo(2003 series)-this leo didn't quite go though the leadership arc most other versions do but he had many of those attributes down from the start which, to me, made him consistently enjoyable. he also felt like he handled the honorable/traditional aspects better. his extreme character arc in season 4 though, fighting against his own more controlling/extreme mentality was really stand out and well developed

raphael(batman vs tmnt film)-he's pretty standard for the character(most are pretty similar) but sticks out to me because of the small details, like his larger, more muscular size and scar, plus hello, he stood up to an angry batman and earned his respect, you cant beat that. 

donatello(bay films)-this version just nails the nerd angle so well and all the added details/gadgets are pretty fun. Rise version might have earned this spot if he wasnt so obnoxious and arrogant.

michelangelo(Rise)-03 version originally had this spot for the small spotlights he had, like his recurring "turtle titan" stories were always memorable to me. but rewatching Rise, it just nails him as the younger brother feel, being both a goof as well as more naive, immature  and impressionable.

splinter(2003 series)-this version was just amazing at balancing his depiction as a father(both strict and caring), teacher and legendary warrior. plus it was one of the best at depicting his strong connection to yoshi.

april O'neil(Rise)-the rise version just sticks out to me so much more for her personality, likability and relatability(what with the job troubles). plus she's one of the better versions at relating to the turtles, being treated like a sister to them as well as her many teamup eps with splinter. and her role in the series finale just cemented her as the best version to date.

casey jones(2003 series)-he doesnt have the edgy grittiness of other versions but he's still tough, likable, a good friend to the turtles and has a very cool backstory/history with hun and the purple dragons. is intro was also great as being a mirror up to raph of his own aggression struggles.

shredder(2003 series)-this is the most ruthless, tough, intimidating, absurdly cool looking and by far interesting version of shredder ever, especially with his hybrid characterization with krang. even when he wasnt in the series he still felt like an impactful presence.  

foot clan(2003 series)-the foot clan is typically very generic, but i love all the branches, groups and inner workings of how grand the organization is in this series.

karai(2003 series)-this version has to be the most developed and explored to date, walking the line between and honorable warrior and her loyalty to shredder; and her dynamic with leo was always entertaining. plus she is extremely awesome when she later becomes the shredder herself. the version from 07 film was a close second.

baxter stockman(03)-he didnt check off the mutant fly box but hes an ambitious scientist and a megalomaniac so he works perfect and always felt important. I do have to admit the progressive mutilations and constant returns always stuck in my mind.  

bebop/rocksteady(IDW comics)-prob my fav tmnt characters, the comics both update their designs in a fun way but it was their characterizations, history and motivation that really endeared this version of them to me. honestly, the lack of these two is one of the only cons against the 03 series.

[thiswaycomessomethingwicked]

So I finished Gods if Jade and Shadow and it was a fun read. Very much a Fairy Tale, and I say that in a positive light.

[spoilers below]

I will say, I went through the tag on here and people were going on about the ending tearing up their hearts and I personally don’t get it. Like, it was a perfectly expected ending. Nothing shocked or surprised me about it. And that’s not a bad thing! Means the story was well constructed.

But idk guys. Cassiopeia is eighteen. I think it’s a good thing the first guy she fell in love with, after leaving a shit family situation in a small town where she was sheltered from the world, ended and now she’s able to go out and really live her life.

And honestly? Her driving off with a French Demon to New Orleans is so much better than being Persephone 2.0 but Mayan.

Things I liked:

I loved how Hun-Kamé was written. Definitely a well rendered god of the dead/underworld, I felt

The playing with Mayan mythology was cool and caters to my love of myth making and folklore

Traveling around late 1920s Mexico with Cassiopeia and Hun-Kamé was a lot of fun

The romance was understated and believable from Cassiopeia’s point of view. Totally on point. Personally don’t know what a god of the underworld sees in a sheltered 18 year old from a small town but idk I guess you do you, Hun-Kamé

I loved the bit at the end between Hun-Kamé and Vucu-Kamé with the mountain of resentment eroding away; that was a great scene

Here for the giant salamanders - actually everyone’s animal companions were great

Cast of characters was great - all the people they meet are fun and engaging

Well paced plot, it’s not a character driven book by any means so the plot needs to keep going and it does

I did like Martín’s hatred that Cassiopeia was the favoured grandchild even though Cirilo treated everyone like shit. Like that dynamic of “this old man is abusive and terrible but I still want to be his favourite and have him love me more than you” felt very real

The description of the gods was good. Especially the focus on their eyes and how inhuman they are, I really liked that

Things I didn’t like or felt could have been done better:

I felt that the world was underused. This is jazz age Mexico! There was a lot of potential and I didn’t feel as immersed in the world as I could have been

The plot was fun and interesting enough to keep me reading but it was entirely predictable. But, it is a playing on a fairy tale/old legend motifs so I suppose that makes sense from a narrative decision

I wanted more suspense and tension of whether or not they were going to succeed

Kind of wanted proper brujeria showing up more than it did (this is purely personal, not anything against the book)

Wanted more backstory on her father and also what the fuck her grandfather was up to other than helping gods of the dead stage coups against their twin brothers, as one does

Martín was a fine antagonist/foil to Cassiopeia but I felt he needed to be built out a little more.

Cassiopeia felt a little too perfect - her temper and her attitude never really got them into trouble and like idk I wanted more from her

I will say I like character driven things so this could just be a personal taste thing

My hot takes:

Martín, being a useless, cowardly, arrogant asshole shitweasel was, naturally, my favourite character and I’m rooting for him in Guadalajara. Go make that sweet sweet cash money and avoid your shitty grandfather

This was the best ending for Cassiopeia and I think her ending up with Hun-Kamé would have been depressing. She’s much better off with her new bff, the shifty French demon who makes bad jokes

The shifty French demon, Loray, is my other fave character

Vucu-Kamé did nothing wrong and he was right to stage a coup against his brother. Hun-Kamé, I do like him as a character, but he seems like a bit of a loser. Go reclaim the power of your former glory days, Vucu-Kamé, I believe in you

I forget if Vucu-Kamé got his jade ring back from Martín. If he didn’t I’m 100% sure Martín calls him up when he’s in a tight spot and is like “OH MOST GRACIOUS AND POWERFUL AND WONDERFUL LORD OF XIBALBA i owe Juan two hundred pesos. Can you uh…cover my gambling debt again?” Sacrifices a goat to him. Vucu-Kamé is like, “Gods fine. But only because you flatter my ego.”

Vucu-Kamé: what did I do to deserve such useless mortal servants?

Hun-Kamé: maybe try fewer coups in the future?

Vucu-Kamé: that has absolutely nothing to do with the bad luck of being saddled with Martín Layva as a servant 

Hun-Kamé: yeah I definitely got the good cousin, out of the two

Cassiopeia is an absolute nightmare driver, no one can convince me otherwise. Loray regrets teaching her

Anyway - it’s a fun and fast read and I generally recommend it if you’re looking for a good, easy romp to read over a weekend or something

[scourge-lover]

hey there sis (can I call you sis? you declared us siblings and said you loved me /p)

character dynamic asks!

curious about bolvar and arthas... you said they get real comfy in legion 👀

I am also interested in your version of marwyn and falric being an old married couple. I don’t really know them. your au was my introduction to their existence (so glad it was)

Bolvar and Arthas:

🌹🔥✅🦠

Marwyn and Falric:

🪀🍋🎀🎇

hope you have fun answering hun /p affection

Yes ofc you can call me sis! Love ya! And oooh boy, you gave me a lot! lol

Bolvar and Arthas

🌹 Who's the flirty one and who gets shy and flustered?

Arthas starts being the flirty one, mostly to get under Bolvar's skin. But when Bolvar responds back, Arthas is the one who gets all awkward and flustered.

🔥 Who has the temper and who keeps a cool head?

Arthas definitely has the temper. Bolvar's the voice of reason, which is good because he's in charge of the Scourge.

✅️ Who cares more about being right and winning the argument?

Arthas wants to always be right, but Bolvar's able to win the argument over him, and Arthas gets all sensitive about it.

🦠 Who is messy and who says, "damn you live like this?"

Bolvar let the Citadel kind of go into ruin, which pissed off Arthas a lot. That's his Citadel. No one should be allowed to let his Citadel fall into disrepair.

Marwyn and Falric:

🍋 Who is more likely to be in a sour mood on a bad day? (Bonus: how does the other one handle that?)

Falric is the old sour puss, even before he was a deathknight. He always seems to be having a bad day, but Marwyn can often cheer him up.

🪀 Who's more playful and who is more serious? (Bonus: does the playful one ever get the serious one to join them?)

Marwyn is often the more responsible one, and while Falric is the more serious one in general, he's able to be playful. He'd be the one to start a snowball fight, and he'd want to win.

🎀 Who has more talents/hobbies? Does the other ever feel insecure about this?

Marwyn can sing, dance, and used to be the Champion of Lordaeron Ice Skating three years running. Falric fell in love with Marwyn when watching him one year, but he's not insecure about it. If it was anyone else, Falric would think such talents are worthless.

🎇 Who is more impulsive and who is more careful? Does the careful one help keep the impulsive one grounded?

Marwyn can be the more impulsive one in regard to Sapphire's safety, but Falric is generally the more impulsive one.

Kinkmas 2020: Day Three

Prompt: Threesome w/ Kiba & Kankuro

Genre: Smut/18+ || Tags: Threesome, Double Penetration, Oral, Anal Fingering || Characters: Kiba Inuzuka, Kankuro, Female Reader || read it on ao3 here

The immense pleasure that wrecked through your body made you briefly wonder how exactly you found yourself in this position. It seemed like just another night of work at your dead end waitress job. Well, it was just another night. Business was slow but it always was during your night shift job. To the point where you wondered why it was worth keeping the ramen restaurant open all night. Though every time a customer came in you were reminded, the night customers were almost always shinobi. Most likely just back from a mission and looking for an actual meal instead of those pills you heard they take. Tonight was no different. You were standing around, nearly twiddling your thumbs until two roughed up looking guys wandered into seats.

"Hey guys! What can I get you tonight?" Your customer service voice wasn't as strong as it was during a day shift, mainly because it didn't need to be. Customers in the dead of night knew the shop being open was a luxury and most were so desperate for a nice, warm meal you could cuss them out and they'd still tip you well.

"Hi sweetheart," a gruff voice responded, belonging to a somewhat regular.

"Oh, Kiba? Gosh I almost didn't recognize you," the man truly looked worse for wear, though you had to admit it was nice he clearly stopped in here before even going home.

"I'll take the special," The other man you didn't recognize spoke up, looking equally as rough.

"Yeah it was a tough mission. I'll take the special too, hun."

You nodded and put the order in, comfortable enough with him to return in front of where they were sitting to chat. Small talk was easy with a person like Kiba, even when he was dead tired. The other man, you learned whose name was Kankuro, occasionally piped in, mainly with sarcastic jabs at Kiba. It made the time pass quicker and you even found yourself cracking up with laughter a few times. After fifteen minutes you served their food and let them eat, recounting the events that happened in the village while Kiba was out on his mission. The two finished their meals and you were quick to clean the bowls up.

"Can I get you guys anything else?"

"How about an evening alone with us?" Kiba grinned confidently.

You shot a smirk back at him and gestured around, "What, this isn't alone enough for you?"

"Not nearly," Kankuro answered your rhetorical question in a voice that was near a grumble.

"You're almost done working, yeah (Y/N)?" Kiba quickly continued, gently pushing his luck.

And lucky for him, he didn't have to push far, after a quick glance to the clock you nodded, "I can leave after cleaning up."

The two men shared a look and nodded at you, sending you twirling around to hurry and finish your closing duties. A record five minutes later, you were saying goodbye to the chef and walking in-between the guys. Normally, you wouldn't do something as brazen as this, but Kiba always made you feel so comfortable around him. He was easy to talk to and even easier to flirt with. His flirting was smooth but the second you returned the sentiment his cheeks reddened almost comically. Even though you've only been working at the ramen shop for a year it feels like the two of you are childhood friends.

As you walked, Kiba's arm slung around your shoulders, warding off the cool night with the heat radiating from his body. Meanwhile, Kankuro's hand kept brushing against yours until you finally made the bold move and linked your fingers into his. The dynamic between your little trio was already interesting and you only just met Kankuro barely an hour ago. Yet it felt so natural to be surrounded by them, it felt like you were all dating already. Though you weren't going to fool yourself, even if this turned out to be just one night, you'd be thankful for it.

By the time you reached Kiba's surprisingly clean apartment, you could barely keep your hands off of them. Kankuro's lips were hot on your neck, spreading purple lipstick marks all over while Kiba tried to close the door. Shirts were discarded quickly, allowing you to take in the chiseled chests of the men sandwiching you in. At some point, you made it to Kiba's bedroom and it didn't take long for you to find his cock inside of your mouth while he used his hands on the other brunet. Your tongue rubbed the underside of him as you took more into your mouth, being careful not to gag. The view above you was gorgeous, as both Kiba and Kankuro were basking in the pleasure they were receiving. But they didn't let it drag on before they laid you back and Kankuro's rough fingers ran up and down your slit.

Kiba was more than happy to slip himself back into your mouth, moaning as he felt you suck around him. Meanwhile, Kankuro planted his head between your thighs, relishing in every purple mark he left as he dove in for his dessert. He went to town, sliding his tongue in and out of you while  those rough fingers rubbed your clit. Neither held back, but Kiba was a bit impatient, his hips thrusting forward accidentally. Before long, he was pulling out of your mouth and bending down to kiss you through your first orgasm of the night. Then, the brunet positioned himself behind Kankuro, sliding his fingers into the other man with a grin. Kankuro gasped around your still quivering pussy before moaning and resting his head against your thigh to pant heavily. You propped yourself up on your elbows to enjoy the sight of Kankuro already falling apart as Kiba curled his fingers while thrusting.

You muttered a curse under your breath and it almost acted as a reminder to Kankuro that you were there as his eyes traveled up to meet yours. Half lidded as they were, you could tell they were full of pleasure and begging for more. Out of desperation, he looked back to Kiba and rocked his hips, pushing the fingers deeper into him. The deep moans he let out vibrated against your leg, running straight to your core.

Dropping your head back to the bed you let out a moan yourself, "Kami, please, one of you fuck me already."

That seemed to get their attention as both looked at you before separating and sitting up, Kankuro grinned, "How about two of us, babygirl?"

"That's fine by me, just get to it already." the confidence the two men let off was contagious and you found yourself having no problem taking the lead.

You sat Kiba down on the bed and slid his cock into you. Giving a few testing bounces before leaning forward slightly, you let Kankuro push his lubed cock into your ass. The pressure of being so full made you sigh and after getting accustomed to it you began to bounce on both of them. They groaned in unison, only egging you on more. Kankuro pressed kisses into your shoulder while Kiba played with your tits, tugging on your nipples. Your own hands found balance by reaching back and steadying yourself on Kank's thighs, the thick muscle underneath your fingertips flexing with each thrust he tried to return.

As you moved your hips up and down both men began to rightfully fall apart. Not to say you were doing much better though, seeing as Kankuro was once again using those roughed up fingers to rub your bundle of nerves. The sensations all over your body made you see stars again, clenching around the two cocks as you came. Had it not been for you warning them of the impending climax, both probably would have followed suit. But thankfully they held on, determined to throw you over the edge again. It wouldn't be hard either, especially not when Kankuro leaned you down to rest your torso on Kiba's and both men began to take over thrusting. The damn teases they were, one would thrust in as the other trusted out.

Somewhere in your lust fogged brain, you made a note to ask them how they knew each other. There was just no way new friends could be this in sync. That, and the way they were kissing over your shoulder seemed much more intimate than a random decision. Either way, they were fucking you good.

Words weren't your best friend right now, but you managed to whine out a, "Fuck, I'm going to cum."

The boys nearly growled together and Kankuro kissed the back of your neck, "Cum for us, babygirl."

"Yeah? Fucking cum on my cock, princess," this time Kiba did growl and it was all you needed to send you over the edge.

The vibration from his words made you shiver and your orgasm shook through every fiber of your being. Your holes squeezed and spasmed around their intruder's and this time the boys didn't bother holding back. The warm sensation spurting into you from both sides was one you'd likely forget the amazingness of. But the moans, groans, and absolute sinful noises they made as they came would be forever etched into your memory. Moans were replaced with heavy pants and all three of your sweaty bodies collided onto the bed. At some point, they slipped their softening cocks out of you and two sets of warm arms surrounded you. They shared a kiss before turning to you and giving you your own share of kisses. The two of them simultaneously holding onto you and the other man in one safe huddle of love. Sure, what you had wasn't exactly labeled, for shit's sake, what you had just started, but you couldn't help but hope it would continue. Even if you'd look at yourself in the morning and find your body not only covered in scratches, fingerprint bruises and hickies, but also purple paint smeared nearly everywhere.

hope you enjoyed! remember likes & reblogs help me reach more people! :)

Midnight City AU

this is an au where the main characters are all young adults!! (or millennials ig? they’re in their 20s basically) i gave a rundown of what’s what on a diff post,, i’m also splitting it up into diff chapters,, so this is gonna take a looooong time to finish. i’m posting this before i nitpick my writing to the max

it’s basically a lot of references to that point in time, artists, pop culture etc. all the chapters are named after songs from that era (including the name of this au bc i love midnight city and what better way to describe LS ‼️), and the lyrics r usually connected to what the chapter’s about, or about a character dynamic :D i hope this isn’t too cheesy, or sounds off ig. any typos in this were probably over looked bc i constantly reread my writing and rearrange stuff and make sure it sounds good 🥳 hope y’all enjoy !!! i’m also including a tag to find the chapters under :)

//Chapter 1: Crimewave

Trevor would never, ever admit it, but he had fallen into the category known as “post-hipster”. This was a strange era that began culminating, taking LS by storm. Whether he liked it or not, he could never avoid it. Even if he swore up and down he wasn’t like them, it was practically a paradox. Saying he wasn’t like them just made him a branched off version of the thing he denounced. Each aesthetic that was churned out as the 2010s rolled in were tied to a style, a sound, and Trevor couldn’t care less. It’s not like people liked what he liked. He didn’t belong to anything in particular, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t like them. If anything, he just became another obscure genre in the mix.

One of his favorite music groups was a Canadian duo called Crystal Castles. He enjoyed a good number of their songs, developing an interest for electropunk and pop punk. There was something unique about the sound, and it made Trevor feel special, like he discovered some sort of hidden treasure. He was into pop punk groups like Paramore too, but it was something about them that was just different. People knew Paramore. He often lingered around Sterling Lake, where other post-irony hipsters and classic hipsters resided, careful not to fully associate with them. After all, he apparently despised them, even though he participated in their strange… “culture”. If you could even call it that. From time to time he would find himself discussing his favorite artists with whatever semi-normal person was there, making a couple friends himself who weren’t the snooty kind he’d grown used to.

They all loved talking about how exceptional their taste in music was, a wide variety of people hanging around with their own cliques. Some liked Fall Out Boy, while others liked Blink-182, and then there were the weirdos who liked groups like Radiohead. Most of those guys were whiny, proclaiming how misunderstood they were. He knew maybe one Radiohead song at most (he definitely, definitely never cried to “Creep” and even if he did, so what) but never found himself willingly getting into their music. Then you had the nosedivr crowd, which consisted of mostly girls, and the occasional hipster guy that defected. Their taste was.. alright. Consisted of artists like Lana Del Ray and Marina and the Diamonds, who were their idols. He found almost everyone there besides the few friends he made kind of edgy, and not in the cool way. But he figured all hipsters and guys like them were kind of uncool. Don’t even get him started on those other indie rock types. God. He still came back as often as he could though, establishing some kind of routine. Most people there avoided him anyway, which he preferred. He had enough troubles with them in the past. There was one day he grew tired of the people gawking at him, and he launched a hipster right into the lake. So yeah, nobody within their right mind so much as looked in his direction. That was just how he rolled.

Today, he sat on a nearby bench in Sterling Lake’s park, watching some ducks float on water. His usual friends had been there too, seeing his clowncore buddy Wade with his cousin Floyd. Wade was extremely different than the pretentious fucks around them. He had a shit ton of piercings, and ICP was his favorite music group. Floyd on the other hand, fit right in. Almost too much, like it was something he was forced to do. But he did genuinely enjoy Weezer, of all things you could enjoy. Wade started waving at Trevor, while Floyd hid behind him. All he did was awkwardly wave back, turning his attention back to the lake. He liked Wade, but the clown stuff he wore sometimes spooked him. He didn’t pay much mind to his relative. Looking back across the water, he saw someone new, observing the area. Some dude a little above the average height, hands in his pockets walking around. He seemed a bit lost, and Trevor figured he should help if he was. After all, what was this guy doing here? New people didn’t show up often.

“Hey bud, you lost or something?”

“Oh uh, nah not really. I’m just looking for this girl I met a while ago, said she hangs out around here?”

“What she look like? I’m here pretty often.”

“Uhh kinda short, dark brownish hair? Wears fishnet stockings, high waisted shorts or whatever those grunge people are into.”

“Let me guess, she into the Neighborhood?”

“How’d you know?”

“Yeah, that’s Amanda, she’s a bit of a regular. Not too fond of me I must say.”

“How come?”

“She’s just petty towards me.” He said with a shrug. He didn’t feel like relaying his encounters with her if the guy was dating her or something.

“Oh… well d’ya think you could help me find her? I don’t really know anybody else here. I could actually use the help, since you know her.”

“Eh sure, why not.”

It’s not like he had anything better to do. The two began to walk around the park, gravel and dirt crunching beneath their feet.

“So.. what’s this place about?” The strange guy asked.

“Hm? Oh, it’s just one of those places the hipster folks meet up I guess. Don’t understand it much myself, nor do I really like them.”

“Then why do you come here?”

“Dunno. It’s relatively peaceful, those freaks keep to themselves.”

The man, who was only a smidge shorter than Trevor, glared up at him.

“Hey man, don’t call my girl a freak.”

“Ehh I don’t really count her in with the generic skinny jean wearing hipsters. More of a.. what is it called.. nosedivr type. Whatever that stupid website’s called. Why do you think she dresses like that?”

“Huh.. Never really thought to ask her.”

As he thought about the stuff Amanda wore, he took note of how the man next to him was dressed. He sported an olive jacket with a black turtle neck, and a plain pair of jeans. He wore beat up black converse to top it off, and a pair of Rimmers sunglasses sat upon his head. He looked simple, yet distinguished with the way he presented himself, hair neatly combed back. He figured the two would look nice standing next to one another. They would’ve made an attractive couple, if they weren’t dating already, the kind that turns heads. Trevor wasn’t like them. He wore a black beanie over his mullet, and his favorite pair of red Dix sunglasses rested on the bridge of his nose. The rest of his fit looked disheveled. He had thrown on a wrinkled top, solid black with little surf boards and cars along the bottom- he was a sucker for Hawaiian shirts. His pants were tan colored but had some bleach stains, with old combat boots on his feet.

“Yeah, we may not like each other but I don’t really consider her a freak like those guys.”

He jutted a thumb in the direction of a circle of guys huddled around a phone. The man holding the phone had strawberry blonde hair and a clean outfit on. An expensive looking outfit.

“Who are they?”

“The people here I absolutely cannot fucking stand. The genuine hipsters.”

“Oh.. and you’re..?”

“I’m my own kind. I’m not like these losers, all uppity and shit.”

“Right. Gotcha.”

They walked around a bit more before finding the group Amanda was with. She sat on a bench, chatting with a few girls who dressed similarly to her. All of them had black incorporated into their style. She herself had a black jumper on, tucked neatly into the front of her jean shorts. Just like the guy described, she had fishnets on under them, skater shoes to match. Loose braids fell on her shoulders, and a small black choker was wrapped around her neck.

“Oh, there he is now! Babe! Over here!”

She narrowed her eyes upon seeing Trevor standing next to him.

“Hello, Trevor.” She huffed.

“Relax, I was helping your boyfriend or whatever look for you.”

Her face softened slightly, but still kept a small glare in his direction. She pressed her lips together tight before replying.

“Thanks, I guess.”

“Yup.”

The man turned to face Trevor, sticking out a hand.

“Hey, thanks for showing me around. Trevor, is it?”

“Don’t wear it out.”

He shook his hand, noticing how soft it was. It was in stark contrast to his own, which was rough and calloused.

“Name’s Michael. I’ll see you around most likely? Thanks again.”

“Yeah, no problem.”

Amanda huffed again, nudging Michael’s shoulder.

“Let’s go hun, Bean Machine closes soon!”

“I’m comin’ I’m comin’!”

The two sauntered off, hand in hand. Trevor stood dumbly, watching them walk away. He was right. They did look good together. He wondered if he would actually see this Michael again, kicking a rock. He went back to the bench he originally sat at, putting his earbuds in, listening to some Crystal Castles again to pass the time. The beat thumped in his ears, and all he could think was how much better this shit was compared to that club music shit that played on every radio station in a 5 foot radius. He sat there, scrolling through his own secret nosedivr account, reblogging some photo of a lit cigarette. Right before a hand touched his shoulder causing him to jump.

“What the fuck- Oh. Ron.”

Ron was another friend of Trevor’s, a guy he had met outside one of the iFruit stores talking about how “they’re tapping the phones they sell in there!” and all that conspiracy nonsense. He was a paranoid guy, but Trevor kind of liked that about him. Those were the kind of freaks he liked. He was shorter than Trevor, sort of frail in stature. He wore a bright red windbreaker over a faded tourist tee that read “I went to Liberty City and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!”, along with khaki colored cargo shorts. It didn’t help that he wore some goofy looking bucket hat, and socks with sandals. He dressed like someone’s middle aged father.

“Trevor! Have you seen Wade around anywhere?”

“Last I checked, he was with Floyd.”

“Did he say where he was going?”

“Uh no, but my best bet is they went to that vinyl shop Floyd’s girlfriend works at.”

“Will ya come with me to find him?”

“Now why the fuck would I do that? What do you need him for?”

“Well I- I uh- um..”

“I uh! I uh! Spit it out Ron!”

“It’s about the Merryweather Night Club.”

Merryweather was a big organization that had a wide range of private clubs all over the country, and complimentary body guards to suit. They were all expensive as fuck, and anywhere they settled jacked up the prices of everything else. A lot of neighborhoods became gentrified as a result, and people actually considered it a good thing. What a fucking joke. Trevor of course couldn’t stand it. He hated bullies, and Merryweather was no exception. He’d been wanting to dismantle the club since they settled in LS, seeing as they only amplified the fake feel of the city. Let’s just say he’s gotten into more than a few scuffles with the club. And let’s just say it ended with someone getting stabbed as a result. The guy had it coming to him anyway. Between bouncers and the clubbers, they didn’t like Trevor or his kind loitering around the joint. It didn’t stop him from plotting some sort of revenge though. Ron per usual was on board, his reason being Merryweather’s violent history that had been swept under the rug. They were rather forceful relocating people who had lived in certain neighborhoods for years, Ron being one of their victims. Wade only decided to tag along because he wanted to be included.

“Ah fuck, what’d those bastards do now?”

“They’re throwing some big party!”

“…What fucking for?”

“All I know some guy’s coming to visit, somebody they labeled important and he’s-“

“Woah woah woah wait, Ron. Who?”

“Steve Haines.” He breathed out, careful not to be overheard.

Trevor’s eyes widened, his gaze shooting over to the posse he had poked fun of before. Steve was talking to the group, all of them doing that fake laugh they always did. God, even their humor was pretentious.

“Those fucking hipsters!” He hissed.

“I abhor them, you know that-“

“I know. I know. But, that Weston guy’s gonna be there with him-“

“Weston? Devin Weston?”

If Trevor hated hipsters, then he utterly loathed rich daddy’s money boys like Devin Weston. He had only gotten that stupid fucking night club because his father paid Don Percival enough money to let Devin do whatever he pleased with the Merryweather body guards. It was an elitist club, and they only allowed the best of the best in there.

“What the fuck’s going on there?”

“Something to do with those guys he hangs out with. I think they’re doing something major, expansion maybe-”

“And him and Devin are working together or..?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t hear much after that, that’s why I wanted to grab you and Wade and-”

“Then let’s fucking go get him, Ron!”

The two rushed out of there, heading for the vinyl store to look for Wade. Trevor knew a shit storm was coming, and he absolutely couldn’t wait.

Tangled Salt Marathon - Rapunzel’s Return Part 2

Continuing on from part 1 - 

https://rachelbethhines.tumblr.com/post/635068926214258688/tangled-salt-marathon-rapunzels-return-part-1

Summary: When Rapunzel tries to defeat the Saporians by herself she gets captured; but once Varian realizes that the Separatists plan on using one of his potions' destructive properties to destroy Corona, he and Rapunzel work together to stop it.

Let’s Talk About What a Let Down the Sapiorans Are

Throughout seasons one and two the Sapiorans were built up to be this intriguing race of people with a complex past and real problems that are sadly relatable to this day. They had a history, goal, motives, and special abilities like magic.  

Yet all we got was a really bad hipster parody. 

Heck, the crew can’t even keep it’s stereotypes right because they mostly slide into hippy territory instead. Hipsters, Yuppies, and Hippies are three distinctive counter culture movements for three different generations with completely different social concerns and fads. 

Basically Chris tried to “stick it to the kids” again and just wound up insulting his parents' generation instead because he’s that oblivious of other human beings.

And that’s not even taking into account that previously the Sapiorans were living on the run as nomads in caravans not dissimilar to common Romani stereotypes, so the show is once again making negative racial connotations due to thoughtlessness.

Why Do You Have a Secret Underground Room Hidden Behind Your Workshop Xavier?

Like that not a thing normal people happen to have lying around there workspace. We still are given zero explanation for why Xavier has all this plot convenient knowledge and rare unordinary plot useful stuff. 

Given his previous connection to Saporia and Zhan Tiri wouldn’t it not have made more sense to reveal that he is an actual plot important character in season three rather than keep him as just the exposition fairy? 

So Was This Before or After the Saporian Take Over? Cause Either Answer Makes This a Dumb Plan.

Why would the guards, especially Cap, just give up? Did they even bother fighting and then lost to Varian’s weapons or were they told to stand down by a brainwashed Frederic? If they knew something was wrong then why not stay and help? What makes them think they even could find Rapunzel given how no one knew where she was heading and her letters were infrequent? What difference would they think finding Rapunzel would do? 

Basically, just like with the “former cellmate” line, we needed to actually set up and establish this conflict rather than relying solely on exposition dumps. Because what we get here doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It goes against established character and leaves a lot of unanswered plot holes. 

More Promotion of Authoritarianism From the Show

Remember that these are the same people who formed a lynch mob to hunt down a fourteen year old all because the king told them to. The same king who had been lying to them for years and placed their lives and homes in danger for months. The same king who persecuted the poor and orphans for years. Him suddenly sending townsfolk to the mines isn’t anything new, so what are these people’s breaking points? Anyone else would have revolted by now.  

But noooo, they need Rapunzel to do it for them. Cause Rapunzel is royalty and they can’t do anything without royal permission because they’re sheep. Sheep that’s been subjugated for years and conditioned to be afraid of their “beloved ruler”. 

I understand from a meta point of view why you would want your main character to take charge but...

Like this isn’t inspiring.

It’s disturbing. 

Why are we promoting blind loyalty to a person who’s not earned it just because they were born special? In a freakin’ kids show no less! 

Oh and still no one bothers to call out King Frederic’s abuses here, FYI. 

Take Note That Quirineon is Activated By Heat

This will be important later on in the review. 

He’s Already Built Grenades For You. Wouldn’t Those Be Better Because They’re Easier to Control?

He’s already built explosive chemicals for you. You just used them in part one of the episode. And it came in an easy to use form rather than an unstable, and untested, mess that could literally blow up in your faces since no one, not even Varian himself, knows how to control it yet. 

You Don’t Hammer Out a Cast Iron Pan

It’s literally in the word. To make a cast iron pan you pour the metal into a casted mold. You don't hammer it out like you would with a sword or something. And you can’t even go with the “rule of cool” here cause Rapunzel surrounded by molten metal and fire would have been far more impressive looking.  

Yes I’m being picky cause I’m stalling. I don’t care. This is just yet another instance of the crew not paying attention to details like they should. 

Behold The Final Time Eugene Will Ever Call Out Rapunzel’s BS

This is the last time Eugene will hold an honest discussion with Rapunzel like an equal to her. By the end of this episode he will have transitioned into full on doormat mode. 

Also burying negative feelings and not addressing issues is who Rapunzel is. She’s been pulling this shit since day one. It’s what causes 90% of the conflicts in the show. Have you not noticed Eugene?  

So This Episode Has Contradictory “Lessons” 

The episode presents this idea that Rapunzel needs to open up to others and trust again after Cassandra’s betrayal. The problem is that the episode doesn’t follow through on that. It makes a knee-jerk decision to go with a “responsibility” lesson that wasn’t built up to instead at the last minute. 

More on this later.    

Varian Doesn’t Actually Interact With the Saporians at Any Point.

The only person Varian interacts with is Andrew. We have no concept of how he fits in with the rest of the group and what his dynamics are with them. What do they think of Varian? What does Varian think of them? The consequence to this is to further divorce Varian from narrative, even though this is supposed to be his redemption episode. 

As I said in the last part, you can easily write Varian out of this episode and nothing really changes plot wise. That’s bad writing. 

Also I was robbed of Khary Payton and Jeremy Jordan exchanging lines. I was this close to having audio material for my BH6 crossover, dang it! 

Behold The One Time the Black Lady Gets a Line!

I think her name is Juniper? 

You can tell it’s her because of the shadow on the wall.

Anyways they casted this part and only bothered to give the character a single line? What a waste! 

But this just goes back to the series' poor representation. The only WOC in the show are presented as “shifty” and untrustworthy, even when they are ultimately “good guys”. The majority of them are straight up villains tho, and even as antagonists they’re not afforded any real screen time. 

And the only other outright black women on the show is the inventor lady who was given zero respect and the ghost of a barbarian. 

Once again, I don’t think the crew are intentionally racist. I think they’re just sloppy. They wanted to be more inclusive but they failed to actually give voice to minorities behind the scenes and so failed in representing them well. This is a problem with the industry as a whole, not just this one show, and must be talked about as such if we wish to change things for the better. 

None of this “Stuff” Holds Any Real Meaning

We get several callbacks to season one through Cassandra’s personal things that she left behind, but none of this stuff holds any real personal meaning. It’s just there. They wind up triggering these big emotional reactions from both Rapunzel and Cassandra but the audience is just left confused because what they’re crying over are things that have little significance to these characters. Even this line from season one is just dripping with sarcasm and not some pleasant past memory that either Cass or Raps holds dear to their hearts. 

Way To Go, Dumbass

It’s not that she went alone, or that she broke down when it finally hit her that Cass left, that I’m making fun off. The episode already addresses those two points. 

No, what ticks me off is that Rapunzel has taken down killer robots, ghosts, and monsters before now with her magical hair but a handful of regular dudes can just bring her down? I don’t care how much alchemy they got. Depowering your main character for no stated reason just for narrative convenience is poor writing. 

Because If He Didn’t He Would Have DIED, Rapunzel!!!

He literally would have freakin died had he not done something! He was left inside a jail cell to rot away! Before that he was threatened with hangman’s noose! Before that violence from an angry crowd! Before that he was left alone to starve and/or die from exposure! There was no way out for him except to fight! 

And here you are inside the very prison that you kept him in and you still don't have the fucking self awareness to put two and two together! 

This Right Here the Assassination of Rapunzel’s Character and the Killing Blow to the Series

Yeah, and what about after the storm? Hun, bitch!?

We’ve spent two damn seasons watching Rapunzel stepping on people and making excuses for herself and the one time when she should realize her actions are wrong and finally own up to her behavior and she still does not fucking change.

This is supposed to be a coming of age story! That means the main character is supposed to grow and learn shit! But when it matters most, Rapunzel only digs in her heels and refuses to change! 

Why should I care about this character anymore if she’s just going to keep on being selfish no matter what? Why should I bother watching the show if it fails to deliver on its premise? How is this in any way shape or form an appropriate message for children!? 

If you’re watching the series for the first time, then it’ll take awhile to register just how awful this scene is and how it really is the beginning of the end, because they did have time to turn things around after this. But they didn’t, and here we are. 

This Isn’t a Real Apology

It’s not a real apology if all you do is make excuses for yourself. Rapunzel doesn’t address what she actually did wrong here and it has nothing to do with her stupid promise. 

She neglected and enabled the abuse of a child for a year and three months, and she’s not even sorry for it! 

You Were Never a “Friend” Rapunzel

Friends, actually do shit together. They enjoy each other’s company. They care when the other is hurt or in trouble. 

Rapunzel only came to see Varian when she needed him for something. Even now, after this confrontation, that’s all she’ll ever do. She does not actually care about Varian, because the creators will not let her care. 

And Here Comes the Death of Varian’s Characterization

In order to make this stupid, forced, “redemption” work the writers had to do a complete 180 with Varian’s character and his motivations. Instead of freeing his father, seeking revenge, or just, you know, surviving, he now suddenly cares about “being friends” and “being accepted by people”, only he has no reason to want any of that! 

Rapunzel is a shit friend. Heck all the mains are crap friends to him. They ruined his life and the townspeople tried to kill him. Why would he want anything to do with any of these a-holes!? 

Varian doesn’t get assassinated in the same sense as Rapunzel and Cassandra do. He doesn’t suddenly become a hateable dumb douchebag or anything, but he nevertheless has his character retroactively sabotaged by the writing.  

Uh, Were You Not There When Your Dad Rounded Up a Lynch Mob Against Him, Raps?

I believe you were. Also Varian literally told you to your face that he had to go into hiding cause the townspeople were willing to attack him just because those rumors that you failed to stop and pretended not to know anything about. 

Just because the characters shout something repeatedly does not make it true. The audience isn’t dumb. They can remember what happened only two seasons ago. 

Where Was the Inciting Incident For This Change of Heart?

Why should he even want their forgiveness? Why has he given up on freeing his father? Why is he having second doubts about overthrowing the kingdom that persecuted him? 

If you’re going to drastically change a character’s motivations, goals, and moral alignment then you need to present an in story reason for that change. We don’t get that. There’s no inciting incident on screen for us to see the shift in his character development. 

The audience is left to only infer, and that’s poor writing. The audience shouldn’t have to do the work of the writers for them.  Characters’ motivations and goals  should not be guess work. 

The only thing we can glean from this is that he had a change of heart while in prison and that’s a horrifying thing for the show to suggest. That’s basically justifying Frederic’s abuse. It also recontextualizes Varian’s arc into one of submission to his abusers and not one of learning to do the right thing simply because it’s right. 

Once Again, Were You Not There For Season One Rapunzel?

They had a year and three damn months of chances. These people actively tried to do him harm just for simply seeking help. He has no reason to trust them nor you. 

Why Are We Shoulding All of the Blame Onto the Abused Child?

Yes, he did do all of those things, technically, but they’re being presented here without context.

The Queen enabled his abuser who was threatening his life and destroyed his home. He kidnapped her as a last restore when all other methods to get out of his desperate situation failed. 

The princess he threatened neglected him for three months and repeatedly refused to help him, even throwing him out into a deadly snow storm. Despite him being her responsibility, thereby making her neglect a flat out abuse of power.  

He would have died a slow and painful death in prison had he not helped to overthrow the kingdom that persecuted him. 

I’m not going to pretend that what Varian did was right or that he shouldn’t feel sorry for what he did, but this is a highly skewed version of events that are being recounted here just to create bias in the viewers. It’s manipulative writing intended to gaslight the audience. 

Also, why does he even want a second chance!?   

Doesn’t This Undermine The Saporian’s Goals?

The Saporians wanted to reclaim their ancestral homeland so that they would no longer be a displaced people. How does blowing up that homeland help them? 

Season three just throws all logic out the window. There’s barely a single villain who doesn’t undermine their own goals at some point with their stupid actions. 

So Why Varian and Andrew Not Some Other Team Up?

Out of all of the various recurring baddies in the show Varian and Andrew have the least in common. I’m not saying that they couldn’t work together, but doing so required more set up than this. Because as is, this is a very contrived teamup. 

They have diametrically opposed goals and moral alignments. Varian doesn’t bring anything to the table that the Saporaions couldn’t have supplied themselves. Meanwhile the Saporians have failed to offer Varian anything that he could want. 

At best it’s a marriage of convenience for them to both break out of prison together, but even that is contrived because we don't know why neither of them were sent away on the prison barge with the rest of the season one villians.  

Better combinations would have been 

Varian & Lady Caine

Andrew & Lady Caine 

Varian & Cass

Andrew & Cass 

Varian & Zhan Tiri

Andrew & Zhan Tiri

Varian & Hector

The Baron & Varian

Andrew & Staylan 

King Trevor & Varian 

Like there were tons of options here that the writers just ignored, even though any of them would have made more sense than the one they went with.  

The Andrew and Varian Dynamic Can Be Seen as an Allegory for Grooming; Unfortunately the Writers Didn’t Consider That Implication.

Yeah... That’s pretty much what Andrew has done here. He’s groomed this desperate and lonely teen to become a child soldier for him. And one only can only pray that’s all he tried to groom him to do since they were trapped inside a confined and enclosed space together for several months. 

Listen, I don’t mind children’s shows touching upon darker subjects. Often fantasy is a good way for people to process complex themes and uncomfortable real world situations through the safety of fiction. It can even be helpful for those who have had the misfortune to experience certain traumas. 

I’m not complaining that TTS is too dark. 

I’m complaining about it being shit. 

All of the crap Varian goes through is just thrown in there for shock value. It’s not here to commentate on the real world nor provide a complex story. The situations are brought only to then be outright ignored. This isn’t thoughtful nor deep. It’s not meaningful nor heartfelt. It’s just hollow drama done in bad taste. 

You’re Not In a Position to Judge Rapunzel 

You got captured first because you decided to throw yourself a pity party. 

Would He Though?

I’m pretty sure Quirin is very well aware of how shitty Frederic is. If anything I would think he’d be pissed that his son, that he tried so hard to protect, was mistreated in such a hordenous way. 

This isn’t some satisfying ending to Varian’s arc. It’s a heartbreaking revelation that he’s been beaten down by his abusers.  

Varian’s Arc Isn’t Actually About Validation, and Rapunzel Giving It Here Doesn’t Really Change Anything 

I spoke about this before on its own, but Tangled the Series places far too much stock in validation. Yes, it’s an aspect of his character arc, but it’s not the end all and be all of his motivation. It’s not the force that drives him to do what he does. 

His primary goal is survival, both for himself and for his father. His secondary goal is gaining his father’s approval, but that’s not because he’s seeking generic praise, it’s because his father is emotionally distant. The “validation” is a mask for the real issues which are to fix his relationship with his dad and avoid the guilt of having possibly killed him in an accident. 

Rapunzel has fuck all to do with that. 

He doesn’t need to hear approval from her. He needs her to get her shit together and help him! 

Rapunzel’s and Varian’s Situations Are Nothing Alike and Rapunzel Doesn’t Know Jackshit

Rapunzel you were dumped by your bestie because you’re a shitty friend. 

Varian was neglected and abused by those who were supposed to take care of him. 

Unless you’re drawing parallels to how Frederic and Gothel treated you, and even then neither of them denied you basic fucking needs! 

This should be an “Oh Shit! I’ve become just like Mother Gothel” moment for Rapunzel, not an “Oh yay! Someone to share in my personal misery” moment. 

Man, Rapunzel suuuuuucks! 

Also This Still Isn’t An Actual Apology

Once again, Rapunzel is not admitting what she did wrong here. She’s not actually acknowledging Varian’s pain, nor what she needs to do to make admins with him. 

What she’s doing is making things all about herself again. She’s talking about her feelings. About what she is facing. Rapunzel is an incredibly selfish and egotistical person and the show is trying to present this as a positive thing by rewarding her for such behavior. 

Varian’s Redemption Should Have Nothing to Do with “Friendship”

Varian has no reason to want to become friends again with the woman who ruined his life and abused him. 

But more than that, redemption shouldn’t be dependent upon Rapunzel’s friendship, nor even her ‘forgiveness”. Varian should be able to do the right thing just because it’s the right thing, Rapunzel be damned. 

This cheepens not only his character development but also Rapunzel’s development as well. Rapunzel is not allowed to grow as a person and accept that not everyone wants to be her friend, and that people may have valid reasons to hate her even, and that doesn’t make them evil. 

It also rushes through Varian’s arc undermining what the audience had to get through to get to this point.  

OK, Let’s Talk About The Goatee

I wouldn’t have minded the beard had it just not looked like a fucking barcode. There’s production art where it looks fine. But just wiping it away ties back to what I was talking about in part one. It’s denying Varian the chance to grow up. This is supposed to be his coming of age story as well but the crew won't let him do that because “rule of funny” apparently overrides what the characters actually need in order to develop.  

Once again, the show isn’t a sitcom. You can have comedic moments but the comedy doesn’t need to outright undermine the drama. 

Once Again, Shouldn’t Eugene Be the First Person to Jump to Varian’s Defence?

You mean the orphan on the streets who stole stuff and fought to survive when the adults failed to take care of him? Is that what you’re talking about Eugene? Cause if I remember correctly that was you not just three years ago. 

You Mean Rapunzel Needs Him To Make Her Feel Better About Herself

Spoiler alert, but Varian doesn’t actually do anything after this point in the episode. His entire “redemption” is just about making Rapunzel feel better about herself after Cass has rejected her. He’s literally become the rebound. 

How Come Varian Suddenly Became Shorter Just for This Shot?

I know the meta reason is to reflect that scene back in Queen for a Day when Rapunzel promised him that she'd help him before everything went tits up. Where he was also drawn shorter in that episode to make him seem more verunable, but here he’s just suddenly shorter for only two shots and then suddenly back to his usual height. 

Crap like this is why I insist that Varian didn’t actually get any taller in season three. The show just has always been inconsistent with his height and most of the “evidence” for his growth are cherry picked instances where the show drew him smaller than usual for reasons, like here.   

So Where Did They Get That Much of the Explosives and How Did They Get Them So Fast?

Only Varian knows how to manufacture that stuff. Why would he make that much of it if he was still in the experimental phase with it? He’s even surprised that they have so much, so where did they get it? If they made it then, how did they make it so fast? 

So This Plan Goes Nowhere

Spoiler alert: Varian doesn’t actually get to do any of that. In fact he’s kind of pointless for the rest of the episode. 

Why Would the King and Queen Care About a City That They Can’t Remember?

Like this revenge doesn’t make sense. It’s just a contrived way to get Eugene and Lance out of the way.

If the Quirineon Explodes From Being Exposed to Heat Then What Good Does Just Dropping It Do?

Yeah, remember? The stuff explodes when heated. Simply dropping it shouldn’t do anything other than make a mess on the ground maybe. 

All That Build Up and Varian Still Doesn’t Get to Do Anything Useful

Up till this point, Varian was shown to be the most competent threat in the show. Yet here they have him be a screw up twice in a row just for comedy antics and to glorify Rapunzel again. 

If you got to nerf other characters just to make your main look good then you’ve failed to establish your main character as being capable in their own right. 

Remember That This Boy Was Trapped in a Jail Cell With This Guy for a Year!

No, I’ll never be over this.

Andrew is the most directly violent and scummy out of all of the villians in the show. 

If he’s willing to do this now, if he was willing to do this to his ex-girlfriend, then what the heck was he willing to do when he and Varian were trapped alone together? 

So Andrew Just Willingly Sacrifices His Own People Here....Even Though His Goal Was to Give His People a New Home....

People need to use this gif more often when concerning this show and the villains’ ass-backwards plans.

And yes they survive because of Varian alchemy. But that was on accident. Andrew had no way of knowing that would happen. He’s willing to destroy his own people just to blow up his ancestral homeland and for what!? What does he gain from this action?  

The Mind Wipe Kills Frederic’s and Arianna’s Characters; Littraly

Frederic and Arianna are effectively dead at this point. Anything that made them, well them, has been wiped away. Their personalities, hopes, dreams, their on going stories and development, just gone. And we never get them back, even when their memories supposedly return. 

Varian’s Not Even Allowed to Get the Idea On How to Save Corona...In His Own Redemption Episode No Less

This is his episode! We’ve spent two years building up to this point and you can’t even let him help? He’s denied the chance to make up for his own mistakes! Just so Rapunzel can play hero and be a very shallow representation of what a bunch of men think a “strong” woman should be! 

It’s fucking insulting. That’s what it is. 

Making a female character the center of the universe to the point where other people are just props for her is not empowering! 

No It’s Not!!

Uh you wouldn’t even be here had you just fucking helped Varian to being with you dumb bitch! This is very much you and your father’s mess! 

Even now, while pretending to be responsible, Rapunzel can’t actually be responsible and own up to what she did! 

She’s fucking 20 and the 16 year old shows more maturity than her! 

Also Your Hair Can Protect Two People at Once Rapunzel; Remember?

There’s no excuse for leaving Varian out of the action. We’ve been shown multiple times now that Rapunzel’s magic hair can protect her and other people at the same time. 

Having Rapunzel Save the Day By Herself Undermines Everything the Episode Was Trying to Establish

What happened to needing to “trust again” and letting other people help you? Having Rapunzel save the day alone just tosses out the lesson that the show was trying to build up to. 

The show tries to frame this as Rapunzel learning “responsibility” but that also does not work. For one it was never established that she needed to learn that within the episode itself and secondly, she doesn’t actually do anything different from what she usually does. 

Being an action hero isn’t the same thing as being responsible. Being responsible is being considerate of others, doing the borning shit or mundane crap that you hate, and being mature enough to recognize your own failings and admitting when you were wrong. 

So in the end Rapunzel is neither responsible nor more open to others. 

And There’s the Death of Eugene’s Character

Lance, who has maybe exchanged all of three sentences with Raps, is more distrught than the guy that supposedly wants to marry her. This isn’t heartwarming, nor it is growth. It’s just lobotomizing a character right in front of our eyes. 

In this very episode he was worried about Raps going to face the Saporians by herself and was, guess what, fucking right to do so. But he doesn’t give two shits if she gets blown up!? 

Ooookaaaay.....

This is the completion of turning Eugene into a doormat. From now own he shan’t be allowed to have any thoughts or feelings of his own that disagrees with Rapunzel. 

The Eugene we knew is now dead. 

But Of Course the Show Rewards Everyone for Behaving In the Dumbest Way Possible Anyways

Don’t expect any of these grossly out of character moments and oxygen deprived logic to be addressed nor fixed within the show. The series will keep on shoving unearned endings into our facing while insisting that this is positive development. 

How Did Y’all Get Here Before Varian?

Yes, he was left on a roof, but he can climb and y’all were outside of the city. 

Yeah... A Year and Half Fucking Later!

Ok, a year and three months, but that’s still not any better. Worse, all this implies is that Rapunzel would not have ever concerned herself with trying to free Quirin had Varian not broken out of prison. She would have literally left them both for dead and we’re supposed to find her suddenly doing the bare fucking minimum heartwarming and inspiring?

Where Was the Inciting Incident to Use the Decay Incantation for This? 

How did Rapunzel come up with this plan? When did she come up with it? 

When the hurt incantation was first found no one mentioned how it could be used to save Quirin. No one even gave Quirin a thought. Since then the incarnation hasn’t been brought back up, ever. This is a pretty big leap in logic for Rapunzel to suddenly think of this. 

All it highlights how Varian was originally meant to be there to translate the scrolls and incantations in order to establish all this but of course it got cut so now it just comes the fuck out of nowhere. 

Not Letting Varian Have Anything to Do With Saving His Father Is Even Worse Than Not Letting Him Save the Day

This has been his motivation since the beginning. It’s been the driving plot for a season, and now that the time has finally come what does get to do? 

Hold a dang bucket. 

Part of coming up with satisfying endings is following through on what you’ve established. The audience needs closure. Simply freeing Quirin isn’t enough, we need the carthartis of Varian specifically fulfilling his goal. 

I don’t know how to break this to you Chris, but this isn’t Rapunzel’s story. Not this segment of it anyways. It’s Varian’s and it just so happens to connect to Rapunzel’s. She shouldn’t have been center stage for this. 

The Series Blows It’s Load Too Early with the Incantations

This is the last time we’ll hear any of the incantations sung on screen, cause someone in budgeting didn’t know what was important to throw the money at and what was not. 

It’s not bad here, but if we could only hear one incantation only once this season it needed to be in the finale with the final heal incantation. 

Varian Was Right All Along

Also, all this does is justify Varian’s actions in season one. Rapunzel was indeed the only one who could free his dad according to this. For a series that desperately wants to shove all of the blame onto an abused child’s shoulders they sure go out their way to prove him right. 

So How Is the Hurt Incantation Suppose to Work?

There were so many fan theories after this scene because Varian and Quirin don’t respond to the hurt incantation the same way previous characters had. 

No one is gasping for breath, Varian can touch Raps without burning his hands, and Rapunzel can control the direction of her power. ect. 

Turns out there was nothing there, the writers just didn’t know what the fuck they were doing and made the hurt incantation very inconsistent just like all of the magic in this show. 

BULLSHIT!!!

You literally turn into a villain because she gave up on you!!!!

She also didn’t give two shits about you throughout the entirety of season two. 

Why are we just pretending like season one didn’t exist!? 

Why!?

The Note!!!

No It Fucking Didn’t!

Does That Look Like “I’m Proud of You Son” To You?

Chris went on to confirm that, yes, the note did hold more information that then got cut. Pretty much confirming all that we suspected. That Varian was cut from season two and his story hastily shoved back into season three at the last minute. 

Below is the link to the tumblr post he made.

https://cnotes.tumblr.com/post/190534585146/apparently-one-of-the-writers-said-a-while-back

What’s worse is that his defense is such bullshit. The below exchange pretty much sums it all up.

This Doesn’t Actually Resolve Anything and Is Therefore Unsatisfying to Watch

Part of the reason why this conclusion doesn’t work is because it doesn’t actually address any of the problems that they have in their relationship. Quirin never owns up to what he did wrong. There’s no discussion of what Varian was up to while he was entrapped, no conversation about what secrets Quirin hid from his son, and zero admission of wrongdoing on either side.   

Also Varian has done nothing significant to earn those particular words. Saying I love makes sense, but in context saying “I’m proud of you” does not. It doesn’t even work on a meta level cause the episode prevented Varioan from accomplishing anything. 

It’s empty. 

There Could Have Been More Screen Time to Fix This If Not for Season Two Mucking About

Above is the link to the original storyboards. It doesn’t fix everything but there’s a lot more satisfying emotional beats including adding Ruddiger back in who is suspiciously absent for the entire episode for no stated reason. 

This version was cut due to time. Which, like with the Crossing the Line song, didn’t need to be had they been more effective with their usage of time in season two. 

They also could have had a better conclusion to Varian’s arc in general had he not been cut from season two altogether. 

So What Does Freeing Quirin Add to the Series?

I’m serious. What does freeing Quirin at this point and time do for the story?

It doesn’t add any character development, Quirin just wanders around aimlessly in the background until the finale and even then his part in that is a pointless dead end. Varian doesn’t gain his emotional closure, just empty, hollow “praise”. Nor is he allowed to accomplish any of his established goals. No new lore or history is exposed. No mystery uncovered. 

There’s no reason why this couldn’t have been done later in the season. Provide more tension and keep up the consequences of the characters actions. Give the mains something to do and work on until Cass and Zhan Tiri show up again.  

The only reason why this is here is to wrap Varian’s story up as soon as possible so he won’t “steal Cassandra’s spotlight”. That’s it. He’s rewarded for conforming to Rapunzel’s will and all the fans should shut up and be grateful, at least according to Chris.

I Like This Song But It Wasn’t Needed

It doesn’t add anything to the story. It’s just a generic celebration song. Which would be fine if it wasn’t for the fact that we have a limited number of songs, even less than in previous seasons, and the story isn’t over yet. This is the wrong place to put a victory song at. 

Especially when we could have had a song that furthered Varian’s redemption instead.  Yeah, that was cut too. 

So Is Varian the New “Lance” This Season?

He’s right there! This is his dang focus episode! 

Why hire Broadway singers and not let them sing!? Why waste talent and money like that? 

Also These Lyrics!

Did Glenn Slater just not read the scripts before writing the songs? That’s all season three ever does! Give the mains what they want without earning it. Even in this very episode!

So Is This Rapunzel’s 20th Birthday or Not?

Ok I have gotten into many a heated debate about how long season three is supposed to be. And that’s because what the crew says doesn’t match what the series shows us. 

By all accounts this should be Rapunzel’s birthday. According to season two she’s been gone for one year, and there’s the lanterns that they fly specifically on her birthday. 

But no one verbally says it’s her birthday and I’ve heard conflicting accounts from different members of the crew. Some stating that it is her 20th birthday and some disagreeing that it is. 

Well I’ll take what evidence that the show actually presents to its audience on screen over what the cast and crew says after the fact any day of the week, so I’ll be gathering up this evidence and proving by the end that season three is two years not one. 

But the fact that I must comb through series to prove this, the fact that we can even have this debate, and the fact that the crew have to state basic info after the series is over is just proof of the bad writing. 

Fun Fact: Cupcakes Weren’t Invented Until the 20th Century

Yeah, that’s the fault of the OG film, and yeah it doesn’t really mean much, but still it’s one more thing to add to the pile of stuff that doesn’t fit. 

Plus I’m just a hardcore nerd for historical cooking and I like to share my knowledge.  

Yeah But How Can He Trust All of You Again?

You’re the ones who let him down first; repeatedly. And you only started to make things up to him once he became useful to you. What assurance does he have that you won’t mistreat him again next time he’s in trouble or is no longer of any use to y’all? 

Yes, Let NOT Show What the Main Character Is Actually Going Through

Yup, this is “Rapunzel’s show” but we’re not going to let Rapunzel have any focus on her feelings or give any insight into her thought process about what is the main conflict of the series now.

Conclusion

Ducktales was robbed! 

I can’t believe this shit won an Emmy for “best writing.” It utterly fails on every possible level. It fails to be a continuation of the ongoing story and it fails to be a stand alone episode. Even the very structure of the story is fundamentally flawed. The only reason why it’s not the worst episode of the entire series because the finale and the penultimate episodes exist. 

Anyways...I finally made it through. It literally took my entire weekend but I’m finally caught up. Next week I’ll be going back to the usual one episode a week schedule.
