#also it’s kinda g/t coded

[cyncerity]

me in my dorm room listening to this

[small-but-oho]

EDIT: Since this kinda broke containment: THESE ARE MY PERSONAL FEELINGS. If you agree, let me know and we can connect! :D If you disagree, that's awesome. Keep doing your thing. I do not want to tell anybody that the way they enjoy g/t is wrong.

I think I've cracked the code of why the overwhelming amount of g/t fl/uff (censored so it doesn't show up in its tag) makes me uncomfortable: there just are no stakes.

Like, to me, g/t stories need to have a power imbalance. That's the whole readon for the trope to exist. Just like bd$m or v0re or, fuck, even just boss/employee stories, the inheirent difference in power - literal or social - is the whole point of it.

And, no offense, but all the posts about friendship and r0mance between tiny and giant just... play that down? Maybe it's because the trope has been done to death and back (we're all in its fandom after all), and people just wanna skip to the part that is new in their story. Nothing wrong with that, I'm not trying to police what people are writing. I'm mostry just airing out my own thoughts here.

But that also kinda takes out the tension? I've once read a comparison online, that in real life, two people clearly communicating their problems is good and healthy, but in a story, it takes out the stakes. Stories usually need points of tension building up the closer we get to the climax, with a big finish, and a drop in tension towards the end.

And this may just be me bitching, but I remember a time when the g/t tag was full of fearplay and looming and angst, where evil giants were as plentiful as sand in the desert. And now that's almost a rare trope. A lot of people I follow who used to post lots of angst, now primarily only post fl♡ff, which, again, do as you want. I'm just wondering why this shift occurred.

To me personally, g/t is a good way to explore these feelings, of feeling small, weak, at the mercy of a being so much bigger than me. Bad things need to happen to the tiny, because it's somewhat of a stress release. And if you've read this far, thanks and please don't block me.

JOHNNY DAVIS | Cheers to a (real) wild one

The Bikeriders (2023)

∴

At the request of my beloved df (dear friend) @narcolini, who wrote this fucking FIIIIREEEEEEEE disgusting, amazing, beautiful, ridiculous, obscenely and downright upsettingly well-written Johnny Davis x Reader fic -> called white room, and also brought my attention to the s e v e r e lack of Johnny gifs out on the interwebs, I am hereby dumping some of my fav Johnny moments from The Bikeriders aka just S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders for grownups nvm that they’re contemporary stories shshhhhh shhh it still works. So that we may all join hands together in a kumbayah-my-lordt prayer circle to levitate to the ceiling chanting spells appreciate and enjoy and gaze creepily lovingly at his beautiful, grizzled bisexually lovestruck sweet bb angel face that launched a thousand choppers eat your heart out Helen you got nothin on our golden boy and so that my df (dear friend) might regale us with additional installments of possibly the most in-character fanfic I’ve read in my life bc this man is in their bones, yall, dejame do TELLLL you like seriously go check it out, pls and thnku.

And so, without further ado I present to you the tumblr equivalent of my 7th grade diorama honoring golden boy, Johnny Davis:

Yeah, so this👇here is just him being fucking perfect and adorable, laughing at his malewife Benny’s red-light/stop-sign-running shenanigans, pretending like he’s not half as in love with him as he clearly is, him being so perfect it stuck in my memory, like gum to a subway seat and I knew, before I even got the request, before I even started screenrecording, that I was forsure, 1000000% gonna gif these

This👇here is him being fucking perfect, gazing sexily from across the bar, pretending he ain’t the big man in charge, going over to assure a reasonably sketched out Kathy of her unequivocal safety in his bar, all rolling up his sleeves, casually slow-walking over, like he doesn’t own the damn place even tho he abs does, like idc if it’s not canon (tbh bc I only saw the movie twice) but no one will convince that man’s name is not on the deed to that bar bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

Oh this👇one right here is just him being a perfect fucking commiserate professional club leader, offering to fight some dude who was challenging Her Majesty’s crown bc Her Majesty won’t let said dude start a Milwaukee chapter get real Milwaukee, you don’t even go here even tho after the fight, Her Majesty Johnny’s just gonna fuckin let the dude start it anyway, he wants to test a homie’s dedication, bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

These ones👇here are just him being fucking dreamy and perfect, all enjoying a Sunday afternoon ride into the sunset with his malewife Benny the fam, hair blowing in the breeze, ain’t got a care in the world bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

This here👇is him being fucking perfect, doing his best Brando-mugging at the camera, cigarette expertly hanging out his mouth by a thread, eyebrows up nearly to his hairline, all squinting like he about to fail a vision test at the DMV n giving them no choice but to take his driver’s license away, except jokes on them bc nothing and I mean n o t h i n g can keep him away from these mean streets or from his girlfriend that’s he knows is way too cool for him, Benny bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

This here👇is him being fucking perfect and positively heartbroken getting the news that his malewife has been attacked by some clowns in a bar from my malewife, a one Ponyboy-coded, Mr. Cal from California aka Boyd Holbrook in greaser drag and I normally am so not for blondies but by god am I here for that and plotting his inevitable revenge on those no-good mfs who did his girl so dirty, nearly taking away her ability to ride bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

This here👇is him being fucking perfect exacting said vengeance on behalf of his malewife, Benny aka The Girl Everyone Wants To Take To The Prom by finding the dudes who beat him up and then setting the bar on fire for good measure bc gottdammmititfkdjd nobody messes with MAH WOMAN bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is. It’s also him hilarious with the comedic timing like look at how funny his face is just telling Brucie to burn it down SKSKSK

And this here👇is him being fucking perfect, watching the world burn enjoying the fruits of his labor, a Labor Of Love in fact, bc that’s the kinda fuckin guy Johnny is

And what’s more gold than that, right guys?? Never change. Stay gold, Johnny. Stay gold.

★heyllooo-★

★..sooo, erm, based on your latest post regarding concepts with rottmnt g/t and stuff, a little concept has been spiraling around in my head based on - these parts of your rambles★ :

★And this- has got me thinkinggg.. what if everyone who got mutated into an animal of some sorts just, as you said, let's the size take priority ?? Now this could go both ways, like- a person, depending on the species that they turn into after getting bitten by an oozequito (how is it spelled, help) has the misfortune of forming onto said size★

★Im, gonna give some very specific examples here★ :

|⭐| For instance, if a person transforms into some sort of a bug, it is safe to say that their size would reduce to just a couple of inches tall, maybe even smaller than that.

|⭐| They get turned into a bunny ?? Then their new found size should be about 10-20 inches tall-..I think- I dunno, (by the way, the smallest species of a rabbit is called a pygmy bunny and they can reach up to only 12 inches tall.. I think-)

|⭐| They happen to be close to an orca during the process of their mutation ?? They might just reach a length of 5.5 to 9.8 meters .. pretty big.

★You get the idea- well, you pretty much formed it.. Unlessss, the sizey thing was just a hiccup that occured because the mutant-gen was still in testing and stuff- ?? (or is it empyrean ?? Fuck I gotta go to the turtle-pedia- ) ★

★either way, it would make for a pretty cool, ermm, concept to add to the 'ROTTMNT' universe- !!★

★..(and imagine the tons of g/t content we could feast on (⁠☆‹ ☆⁠) !!)★

★yeah ermm, your rambling is quite cool by the way anddd, (I hope that..i dunno, you meet a giant in real life that just so happens to be like rise!raph)★

Oh, Draxum 100% would not have wanted the animal height to take priority, he just didn't think of the way heights would be affected with the mutation. Many dangerous/strong animals are actually much smaller than humans (wolves, spiders, monkeys, etc.) so he would be more interested in trying to find a way to prioritize the human height to a certain point. Super dumb way I could phrase it but, it'd kinda be like

if(HumanHeight > AnimalHeight){

HumanHeight = Height;

}

else{

AnimalHeight = Height;

}

idk if that makes sense but that's how I view it (can you tell I'm a fucking donnie kinnie lmao). And this is also my excuse so that the other mutants that appear in the show are still their OG sizes instead of getting to the heights of crabs and pigs. Would also make it funnier when the rogues gallery are giants compared to the turtles and yet the turtles still manage to kick ass.

Honestly Draxum would only recognize the boys as his creations by their height and is just like "well, they still have lou jistu DNA and survived THIS long... maybe I can still work with this?"

Anyway currently writing some stuff based on this au and I'm starting with the first meeting with April, which if you read my thoughts on how that would go... teehee

And Imma be real, I'm projecting hard when I write about giant raph stuff, because I would love to have that mystic power. idk who assembled my tiny 5 foot 2 self in the factory but I am ridiculously giant coded lmao. I would lose my mind immediately if I got some borrower friends. I even got a tiny handheld robot guy that I love because he's a tiny robot friend :))

[ncisfranchise-source]

NCIS: Origins this week took steps towards establishing why the story that narrator Gibbs is telling us about “her” aka Special Agent Lala Dominguez resonates with him to this day.

Along the way, we briefly laid eyes on a young version of a character who would appear in the NCIS mothership’s very first episode, and pop up now and again to this day.

As Gibbs (Mark Harmon) shared in this episode’s opening narration, Lala (played by Mariel Molino) would at some future point confide in him that she felt trapped in a “box,” and one that seems to be growing smaller. Things such as Franks (Kyle Schmid) suggesting she is a “workplace distraction” for Gibbs (Austin Stowell) clearly weigh on her. Lala, though, is in no rush to let “probie” know what she is feeling. Rather, she’s still irked about last week’s case, during which Gibbs drew his gun on two nobodies who were giving her a hard time.

Lala heads out with Vera (Diany Rodriguez) and Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrombie) for a “girls night,” to celebrate the former getting a green light for her profiling program. When Lala gets paged regarding NIS work, she heads to her car — only to have the guy she was kinda dancing with follow her and climb into the passenger seat uninvited. Lala tells the guy to get out, noting that she has work to do (and a boyfriend). But then a switch “flips” for her, and she suddenly pulls the stranger in for a kiss (and more?).

Lala is not herself upon reporting to the crime scene with smeared lipstick, and is notably “off” that whole night and day after. (No, Gibbs, offering a bowl of cereal won’t cure what ails her.) But they proceed to investigate the murder, which was made to look like suicide, of a Navy wonk who had access to military secrets.

Along the way, Franks asks SAC Wheeler (Patrick Fischler) to lean on his FBI contact for information the bureau has on the likely buyer. When Franks and Wheeler meet up with the FBI source at a Mexican restaurant well-populated by LEOs, the G-man waves over his young colleague “Tobias” — as in Fornell! The young version of Joe Spano’s NCIS character, whom Gibbs will first meet in the NCIS series premiere, is played by Lucas Dixon, whose previous TV credits include episodes of The Tick and Blindspot.

“In 1991, Agent Fornell is an affable underling who’s still finding his footing at the Bureau,” reads the official character description obtained by TVLine.

When the opportunity presents itself for Gibbs to pose as the man buying the stolen Navy intel, Lala tags along to coach “probie” through his first undercover op. And boy, does nervous Gibbs need the assist. With a glam Lala posing as Gibbs’ date at an exclusive bar, the two watch for the seller. There are sudden embraces (to dodge Gibbs’ dentist!) and the cupping of faces (to see the cover). Soon enough, Gibbs is invited to meet with the seller in a back room — both agents unaware that their SWAT team backup just got pulled away to another gig. So when Lala repeatedly uses the “congratulations” code word to signal SWAT’s breach… nothing happens. And this being 1991, the wire Lala’s wearing is only one-way. When Gibbs’ briefcase full of “show me” money counts up light, the seller and his goons smell a rat. Gibbs thinks fast and holds an ice pick, which had been deftly slipped to him by “tipsy” Lala, to the seller’s neck, while Lala manages to snatch a gun and pick off the goon who has a pistol aimed at her partner.

Afterwards, we see Lala overhearing NIS locker room talk about how hot she looked in her undercover dress — but she does what she always does, “deflects” it with equally inappropriate jabs of her own. That is the “box” she finds herself trapped in.

Or, at least one of them.

Because it then becomes clear that she feels to also be inside a “box” at home, into which her beau has been trying to move. And before the episode ends, we see Lala start to tell him about the parking lot hook-up, and presumably then give him his walking papers.

[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

I have 3 story ideas I really wanna do so Imma just talk about them here (and if I end up doing one and somehow someone recognizes it on ao3 no you don't <3) (JK I'll probably be elated)

Alien AU — I have this one started already. It is posted. This is also a possible "has this been read here" worry . It's not as romantic and more found family but does include plenty of platonic Virgil/Remus moments (though I do know this blog is otherwise, I felt it was important to mention). Virgil was kidnapped because "human scary lets make it fight other aliens to the death" and he's keeping himself alive because fight or flight. The others are aliens. They're there too. Kidnapped too. Yippee!! They'll eventually all get out and there's going to be a plot twist (not a super big one, just a little funny thing that makes the perspective of Virgil change). Anywho. Aliens <3.

Royalty AU — this is the one with spymaster Virgil and Prince/Knight Remus. This is .. honestly the one that's lacking a plot the most. I'm kinda dying over the fact I can't come up with a plot. Everyone will have their roles and I know for a fact there will be a scene where everyone is like "well shit this is really important. Hey Your Majesty (Thomas, the king), where are you getting all of this information?" and in waltzes dressed-in-rags Virgil with like a wet washcloth over his shoulder fresh outta doing dishes like "me and I got more" and everyone's like ⁉️⁉️⁉️ but thomas is just "yes Virgil what is it". Anyway Virgil starts banging the prince— /j I LOVE ROYALTY SO MUCH RAHHHH

Fae AU — HEY REMEMBER WHAT I SENT AN INFODUMP ABOUT THE FAE AU HEHEHEH I DECIDED!!! So this one will have a beginning of like— Virgil is a human child first. He's like 3 and he finds himself in a fae circle. Janus' fae circle. The fae pops in like "I'm gonna make a deal— oh. A child. Mine now" (plot twist virgils moms bad so it was a good decision). Then Janus raises this human child alongside the fae. It's a little difficult and they have their moments but Virgil is still under the protection of Fuck With Me And Die Janus so he's a little smug bitch. Kinda like a cat. Ever seen a smug cat? That's Virgil. And uh there's this one fae who's about equal his age at the time and that fae is a little unsettling and just reeeaaaaaally likes this human, okay? Nothing weird! Just. Just wants to smooch the human. Just a little crush. Anyway Virgil starts dating Remus and it's like "woah hold on wait I didn't teach you dating customs wait—" :D

Input? I genuinely cannot pick. Also ty for letting me infodump Dukexiety nation love y'all <3

— 👑

D E V O U R I N G this all 3 are S O fucking good!!! First things first

Alien AU: Found Family? D E L I C I O U S. Aliens, A N G S T, Plot twist, and badass Vee doing whatever it takes to survive? *chef's kiss*

Royalty AU: Cool and D E L I C I O U S has underrated roles the Spooky Beloveds and Character!Thomas have L O V E it (Remember to take your time with this one I know exactly what it's like to really wanna work on an AU/Fic but not figuring out a lot of plot to write it'll come to you trust me maybe planning and playing around with different scenarios can help or some thinking about some of the character's backstories)

Fae AU: L O V E L O V E L O V E it it's got smug Cat coded Vee, Jan being a healthier parental figure Vee always needed, Fae!Ree & Jan, Dukexiety of course, and Jan having his son grow up a liiittle too fast for him XD

For the GO ask game — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15 please :)

thanks, ginger! that's a lot and i'm sure i've already answered a few of those - let's see!

1. when did you first watch/discover good omens, and how did you find out about it?

already answered here!

2. do you have any merch?

besides the book itself: a bentley enamel pin a friend gave me as a birthday present and some prints of fanart on my cupboard.. not really, sadly. i should get one of those bildad the shuhite t shirts i've seen people wear in tiktok videos lol

3. have you created any fanart or fanfiction, or really any content for the fandom?

already answered here!

4. what is (if you read) your favorite good omens longfic?

ho BOY here we go. there's a few, and i can't list them all bc that would take forever, but i also can't just list one story bc that is nigh impossible, so i'll give you my top 5: Slow Show, The Anon Before Christmas (by the incredible @foolishlovers!), The Grindr Logo Doesn't Even Have a 'G' In It, Or Be Nice & (just finished and i am Not Okay) Good Expectations.

i consider everything multi-chaptered and over 50k words as a long fic. some of these aren't that long and one is over 200k, so.. yeah. also, heads up, always read the tags first and also most of these are rated Explicit. :)

5. what is (if you read) your favourite good omens one-shot?

again, i've read some many fantastic one-shots that i lost count. but the first thing coming to mind (yes i know i'm biased shh) is the first story of my best friend's ( @beccibarnes) series Not A One-Night Stand: 14 times they canonically fucked ("naons" for short). i remember her pitching the idea for this series to me and it was/is so much fun brainstorming all the ideas with her. i'm honoured that she let me beta-read them all and i can't wait for the future fics to come :') (no pressure tho, becci, i know how busy life was recently <3)

6. who is your favourite side character?

already answered here!

9. have you seen any other work by david tennant and/or michael sheen?

already answered here!

10. have you ever imagined or created a crossover with another fandom for good omens? which one, and what was it about?

i haven't thought of any crossovers - tbh they're not really my cup of tea - BUT imagined two au's, one more or less as a joke, and one "serious" one. the first, joke-y one is a human au that takes place in the city i live in (hamburg, germany) (don't ask) (idk how i came up with that). this one is mostly in my head, but even tho it's kinda silly, i really like it.

the second, more serious one is, again, a human au: a ballet dancer au. just bc i watched some documentary about ballet and the one male dancer they interviewed looked somewhat like david tennant... you get the gist. i have some idea written down in a dusty google doc, but that's it.

14. what is your favorite good omens-coded song?

already answered here and here!

15. do you have any good omens playlists?

not my own ones - but i saved some made by others on spotify heh

ask game for people in the good omens fandom!

[omnipointmuses]

anyway before I pass out I'm gonna blather on about my favorite modded characters in risk of rain 2 so I can be a little positive about one of my more played games

Enforcer is cool even though his gameplay kinda goes against the speed meta of risk 2 but the power to just tank everything from the front is pretty strong, his shotgun feels nice and chunky, and he overall feels very nostalgic to the original character from risk 1, I also really like his nega-variant alot because of course giving a character a minigun and a large hammer is gonna make me like them

Deputy is just a better more mobile commando for people who like western aesthetics and tall ladies who will leap and entire football field to kick you in the face

Driver is just silly and overpowered, he's not super balanced but also the enemies in this game can oneshot you pretty easily so who cares. plus his gimmick of picking up disposable weapons tickles that fun part in my brain

Celestial tank also gets a mention but i didn't get a chance to play around with it enough to form a true opinion on it, but the idea that someone designed it's own UI, coded it's own physics, and made an endless amount of loadout customization is mind boggling, the devs should just make their own game or go work for one of the two tank mmos.

Hunk is probably my favorite modded character and I've only ever played one resident evil game, but man they packed so much fucking gimmicks into this one character it spits in the face of the design of this game and does it's own thing and it's fun, he has Ammo count Swappable guns Dodge and counter mechanics Enemy mounting mechanics Special elites in the form of the T-virus and G-virus Modifiable weapons Key cards he has to earn in order to get those new mods and weapons he can even have nemesis drop in on him and chase him around as an invincible enemy once he gets his hand on a certain item

So yeah that's pretty much it, I just want to gas up the modding community a bit and hope to god gearbox saves this game

Rise and Fall Of A Midwest Princess - First Listen

Before I Listen... I know next to nothing of Chappell's music. All I know is she's a queer person from America, and I'm pretty sure she's from a red state? And she likes to make big! statements about queer people in red states (go her honestly). And also that some of her lyrics are questionable. So! I am in my bedroom with my headphones, a clear floor ready for dancing, and this tumblr post pre-formatted for my thoughts on each song. Cannot wait!!!!! Getting started now.

The Album.

overall, the album had a lot lot lot of huge positives and a few little things i wasnt a fan of. it's a really strong pop album, it has everything you could expect in an album. its got diverse emotions and vibes and its got pop anthems and its got stuff to dance to and stuff to cry to and stuff you can do both to and it all flows seamlessly. there were two, three tracks i didnt fall in love with, but there were far more that i did. i absolutely applaud chappell because this album beautifully captures her struggles nad successes, a lot of which are somewhat universal for queer people. i really loved her use of crowd vocals and backing harmonies, i thought that was really beautiful, and i love how there was electronic production on acoustic instrumentation, i thought that was quite impressive and really fit this modern theme of like, the return of 80s production. i'm going to have another listen to some songs and them im going to listen to gracie abrams tsou album (which i still havent heard) so!!! if you want to see my thoughts on that, i'll post that in a few hours. also just posted my hmhas first reactions<3

Traverse: question

Hello everyone

To all of you interested in my G/t game project Traverse, I have a question: I’m working now on the inventory system, but I’m very hesitant as to which system to commit to. I was wondering if it would be better to have a very limited inventory, which would allow better control of the items and their use, but less freedom for “borrowing”

Or a more free inventory, where you can pick up even useless stuff to bring back home.

Also, in the case of the second, do I do a multi-chest system, kinda like minecraft where you can put and pull things in and out, and you need to have the items on yourself to use them.

Or do I do a “player pocket” and 1 single home chest where you can dump everything you borrow and use it automatically from the chest?

The first system will be a lot more complicated and long to code, which is why this is a real question for me.

I’m myself very tempted to pick the middle route (free inventory with the second system) which will allow players more freedom to pick up anything they want, but the double chest system will allow me to have less to code when it come to use them.

As the Resident Evil series went on the word “virus” progressively lost any relation to the real world, and eventually just meant “monster juice”. RE 1&2 were about a virus slowly infecting a population over the course of days/weeks/months, the other monsters were all either zombifies animals, mutated bugs, or deliberately created genetically engineered hybrid creatures. Other than the main characters someone never getting infected, the “rules” for the T and G virus were pretty consistent in those early games.

Code Veronica was the beginning of the end. Code Veronica was like basically as soon as the virus leaked everyone except 4 people on the island were instantly zombies, also, it introduced the T-Veronica virus which we see 3 people infected by it and all 3 experience radically different outcomes, one dude was infected with it for over a decade and just kinda has grey skin and one tentacle, while another guy who just got infected suddenly transforms into the Incredible Hulk. By the time RE5/6/Revelations/etc came out the series was like “you inject purple goo into your neck and you transform instantly into a smack talking kaiju made out of meat.”, that’s not body horror anymore, that’s like edgy power rangers.

Happy Valen-tans Days

To celebrate the days leading up to Valentine's day, I am going to write and post 14 drabbles all based around love, and you (yes, you 😘) get to create the prompts I use. Here's how it'll work:

Send me one thing from each of the following lists (kinda like drawing random slips of paper from a hat). They're coded*, so I'll know what to write, but the story you end up getting is a surprise!

Choose a color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink) 🌈

Choose a wishing method (11:11, eyelash, wishbone, birthday candles, dandelions, shooting star) 🌠

Choose a decade (20s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s) 🕰

Choose a day of the week 📅 (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday)

Choose a month of the year 🗓 (April, September, November)

Choose a number 1-3 🔢

Choose a letter of the alphabet 🔠

You can decide if you want to send in a specific member or not, but I will only be accepting 2 of each member, as there's only 14 days leading up to Valentine's Day. All stories will also be SFW (at most they'll have suggestive themes, but absolutely no smut).

*please note that just because you chose a specific month or decade, does not mean the story will take place during that specific month or decade; again, these are codes that I will use to write the story*

As I am writing the next piece for the drabble collection, I came across another Penelope Scott song that just screams QSMP, so here's another song break down!

7 O'CLOCK BY PENELOPE SCOTT BREAKDOWN BELOW THE LINE

Cellbit while investigating:

So it hits me real hard

'Round seven o'clock

Drink a coffee and floor it

And get ready to rock

Foolish after the nether:

But there's nobody here

And nobody downtown

Jaiden being gone but not searched for:

If nobody hears you

Are you really around?

Forever as the new president:

So I'll wake up alone with salt in my eyes

And I haven't the slightest

And I haven't the right

The right or a clue

I wouldn't know if I knew

Slime having an existential crisis:

Trees bend in the wind and they are dark f------g blue

We never existed and continue to not

Street caves like it's rubber and it's not even hot

Maxo and whatever code stuff is going on with him (that I saw on tiktok):

The glitch in the game

I loop like a bug

And all I ever wanted was a really tight hug

F---k, man!

Roier about Jaiden growing distant again and again:

I'll call her again

But she's a huge f------g ghost

I fell for dead air 'cause it was all I could host

Tallulah about being ignored: 

And I'll cut up my shirts

And I'll sing in the rain

It doesn't quite matter

'Cause it all feels the same

Bad about wanting Skeppy there but also just wanting to leave:

I don't want what I want

Feels bad to feel good

CodeFlippa… (i think i’m funny):

I'm made of bad code

I'm waterlogged wood

Mariana after losing JuanaFlippa:

Ride through the feeling

Stay in bed for the fun

Felps after getting to the island and almost immediately being kidnapped:

The brand-new beginning

And I'm already done

Sophia being locked and then taken:

The future is static

It drips on the floor

And makes its way underneath my bedroom door

Quackity being back and having to relearn the world:

A glitch in the game

I loop like a bug

Trump… (again, I think I am funny):

And all that I ever died for was another tight hug

Ladies and gentlemen, a word from our sponsors

I am deceased, my nuts have been busted (bulls--t!)

Dapper about A1 (this is mean…):

So just get wrecked I guess

I mean you kinda failed the cool kids' test, I guess

It's kinda sad, if this is you at your best, I guess

It's not fun anymore

Ramon to Dapper (I kinda think of their dynamic as something that could turn into something like PacMike’s friendship):

I'm kinda bored so let's go f--k s--t up, c'mon

Let's go out

I am deceased, my nuts have been busted

Philza about trying to stay out of the federation’s way:

So I'll wake up again to twelve o'clock light

And I haven't the slightest

And I haven't the right

The right or a clue

I wouldn't know if I knew

Richarylson about not being like the other eggs (no bed, proper adoption): 

Trees bend in the wind and they are dark f-----g blue

We never existed and continue to not

The street caves like it's rubber and it's not even hot

Arin/Luzu because of this brief appearance this week:

A glitch in the game

I loop like a bug

And all that I even died for was another tight hug

[huevobuevo]

I still don't know shit about RE but, Desmond/Descole for the virus thing!

HAIIII !!!!!!!!! >____<

okay oh my gott so Descole is giving me MAJOR T virus vibes, specifically the T-Veronica strain from Resident Evil Code Veronica MAJOR LOREDUMP AHEAD MY BAD OG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the Tyrant-Veronica Virus was created by a young Alexia Ashford, granddaughter of one of the original founders of Umbrella. The Ashfords were a noble family praised for its talented members- one such relative being Veronica Ashford, known for both beauty and brains. Then here comes THIS BITCH Alexander Ashford, son of Edward Ashford and an absolute whore. unable to bear children or keep a good highranking position in Umbrella after his fathers death he decides that the normal thing to do was to make clone babies of his ancestor Veronica and hope to god that they become as smart as she was because hes a weirdo and a freak. This gave us the Ashford twins, Alexia and Alfred. Alexia was the brightest of the two, so smart that she somehow became head researcher at the age of ten ? ? ? take ur daughter to work day got fuckin intense ig. she became obsessed with insects (twinning!) and made a virus based off of ant hiveminds and the superior intellect of her predecessors (oh okay). Alexia and Alexander poured their all into using this Virus to create the perfect specimen- until Alfred and Alexia discover their dads weird clone baby plan and the fact that Alfred was a mistake so thats why he was kinda dumb to which they said "okay! so lets just go over there and beat the Shit out of our dad". But instead they infect him with the virus and send his mangled corpse to antarctica where it becomes a hideous monster Diversity Win ! tl;dr T-Veronica is a virus that when infected with the RIGHT person at a SLOW AND STEADY PACE it will offer the victim pyrokinesis through spontaneously combusting blood and a hardened exo-skeleton ALSO A COOL BUG FACE YIPPEEE !!!!!!!!!! there are themes of plants, bugs, fire, hivemind, and royalty when it comes to both this virus and the game itself.

so what the fuck does this have to do with desmond ?

Desmond Sycamore is a man driven by spite and vengeance towards his father and Targent itself for ruining his life. From childhood to his lost family, Desmond had lost so many to Targent and its pursuit for the Azran legacies, causing him to take up the Jean Descole persona and dedicate everything into capturing the legacies first.

He matches the Ashford's theme of inner family turmoils, the cost of the pursuit of knowledge, and vengeance. Desmond can also be associated with the aformentioned "natural" motifs of T-Veronica due to his interest in archaeology and, of course, the Azran Legacies that have controlled his life since The Incident(tm).

When it comes to Desmond interacting with the Virus itself, it'll probably be another incident where he'll try to secure it before anyone else to get their hands on the samples. Maybe his own hubris will lead him to believe that he could handle the mutation, maybe he was forced to by Targent themselves, who knows i might turn this into a fucking AU again god. damnit

I can see him as another Albert Wesker situation where he can KIND OF control the virus inside of him, but through suppressants of course. Without it the mutation will just go haywire and he'll loose control- which would be a REALLY COOL contrast to Hershel's own G-Virus infection but i aint got time to get into THAT (someone please ask me about hershel's infection plsp lsp ls pslspl PLEASE)

First Meetings Masterlist

a change of heart and a silver lining (ao3) - bellawritess luke/calum T, 18k

Summary: Calum’s not obsessed with routine or anything, but he does become accustomed to certain constants in life. Michael is always about eight minutes late. Ashton always records vocals barefoot. Calum always knows the person behind the register at Bake Station.

Except today. Today it’s a stranger, though admittedly a stranger who looks enough like Jack that Calum can easily connect the dots.

“Hi there,” says the bloke in Jack’s place, giving Calum a bright smile. “What can I get for you today?”

If this is Luke Hemmings, Calum’s fucked.

(OR: wrong number AU and strangers to lovers bakery AU battled and this was the outcome.)

and what if you'd never smiled at me (ao3) - kaleidoscopeminds luke/calum T, 14k

Summary: Calum's really not happy about the new bakery that's just opened up down the road from his own bakery; it's gaudy and pastel and covered in flowers and is an offence to the name of baking. At least he's got a new regular to make him feel better about it all. One with a smile that can turn a day around just like that, even on a Tuesday.

As If Front Row Wasn't Good Enough Already (ao3) - drummer_boy michael/luke G, 8k

Summary: Calum forgot to bring a blanket and has to wait for more than 15 hours in line to get front row for one of his favourite bands.

He doesn't think his day can get any better when a really good looking stranger offers him his fleece blanket.

astral collisions (ao3) - kaleidoscopeminds luke/calum E, 42k

Summary: But then maybe it doesn’t really matter what the outcome is, because it’s not like someone like Calum can fall for Luke in twenty-four hours, or anything as fucking stupid as that.

Calum bumps into Luke in the strangest of circumstances in an airport thousands of miles from home, almost fifteen years since he last saw him. A completely innocuous encounter, until an overbooked flight means Calum makes a decision that surprises even himself. Twenty-four hours with a really hot almost-stranger is not really how he saw his work trip ending, but what’s the worse that could happen?

Butterfly (ao3) - merlypops luke/ashton M, 29k

Summary: Luke is depressed and Ashton makes him feel loved (and maybe Luke returns the favour too). Also Malum. Yes.

changing flights so you'd stay with me (ao3) - bellawritess michael/calum, luke/ashton T, 9k

Summary: “No shit,” Luke says. “A famous guy bought your coffee?”

Calum flips the magazine open as best he can with one hand. It opens to one of those tear-out-page posters, and there’s Michael, captured in the middle of playing his guitar onstage, red lights bleeding out behind him and mouth open in front of a microphone in a stand, as if he’s frozen in place, mid-song. He looks good playing guitar, comfortable onstage.

“A hot famous guy, no less,” Calum says.

-

Or: five times Calum saw Michael in an airport, and the one time Michael saw Calum.

comfortable silence (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum E, 41k

Summary: Luke’s boyfriend touched him all the time, but it didn’t feel right anymore. It made Luke’s skin crawl, which was fucked up, because he used to love being touched. In hindsight, it was probably his body trying to tell his brain something wasn’t right with his relationship. At the time, he just thought there was something wrong with him.

Regardless of the reason, the strength of the urge to smother Calum against his chest took him aback, because he hadn’t felt anything like that in so long. And he kinda liked it, which really scared him.

for real (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum E, 63k

Summary: There’s an order to things in LA. An established code of conduct between celebrity and mere mortal, wherein the mere mortal does not engage with the celebrity unless it is an approved event, like a red carpet or a meet & greet. It’s a symbiotic relationship that allows the celebrities to live their lives in relative peace and allows the mere mortals to look upon their beauty in the wild.

Hey boy, stop pacing around the room (ao3) - Extras0fts michael/calum, luke/ashton G, 2k

Summary: Michael read the name written on his coffee cup. He sighed, cringing at the misspelling of his own simple name. In messy handwriting, 'Meekle' was scrawled along the side of the cup. He shrugged before taking his coffee and leaving for his next class while daydreaming about the clumsy barista boy.

Or the story where Calum is a clumsy barista who always gets his crush's order wrong.

If you dance with me darling, if you take me home… Will we talk in the morning? (ao3) - kaleidoscopeminds luke/ashton, michael/calum T, 4k

Summary: Luke is drunk, but nicely so, he thinks, everything slightly softer around the edges, lights a little brighter and laughs a little louder. Everyone and everything in the world would be slightly better if they were this level of tipsy all the time, he muses to himself as he waits for his drinks, leaning his chin in his hand on the bar where he’s wedged himself between two other people that were definitely waiting before him, but don’t have Luke’s height or smile.

if you ever feel alone, don't. (ao3) - galacticsugar michael/luke T, 5k

Summary: Michael needs a tall man with broad shoulders and a slim waist and he needs one now. Not for sexy reasons, although he wouldn’t turn one down for that. No, he needs a fit model for his design final project that is due in exactly 9 hours, and his usual model is in the hospital after having an allergic reaction to unannounced shellfish in the dining hall pasta.

me and you just singing our song (ao3) - rory_the_dragon luke/ashton E, 6k

Summary: Luke's come a long way from the kid he used to be.

He doesn’t know if anyone else has noticed, but Luke feels the difference.

And as soon as Ashton Irwin walks into Michael’s garage, Luke suddenly feels fifteen and blushing all over again.

(Or: the one with the very first band practice)

Pokemon Go Away (ao3) - Monorchism michael/luke N/R, 4k

Summary: Michael moved a little, wrapping his arms around me and clasping his hands in front of me. When he relaxed, his hands dropped to my lap. One of his thumbs was resting against my stomach, quite low, and he used it to push my shirt up enough that he was touching my skin. I felt him start to rub patterns into me, and I swore I wasn't breathing.

The worst part was that it was totally absentminded. He didn't even know he was ruining my entire life.

Suit Me, Unsuit Me (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance michael/calum E, 3k

Summary: All he wanted was a suit and he had gotten much more than he had bargained for. But he was not going to complain and for the first time, he did not regret forgetting his suit. On the other hand, Michael let out a happy sigh; he was glad he opened the shop door to Calum, unlike his initial plan.

that’s why you like it (ao3) - merlypops michael/calum, bryana/ashton E, 69k

Summary: Calum starts doing workouts in the garden over the summer and Michael spends the whole time with his hand down his pants (until Calum takes matters into his own hands).

the kids will be alright, eventually (ao3) - wafflelashton luke/ashton T, 45k

Summary: ashton falls in love with his best friend, luke, and is somehow the last to know.

wait for me in the sky (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum T, 10k

Summary: “Bro is that you?” There’s an unfamiliar, gregarious voice in Luke’s ear, and when he turns around, he’s surprised to see it coming out of the hot eavesdropper’s beautiful lips. He’s leaning over Luke, hands braced on the overhead compartment, and he stares at Luke meaningfully when he says, “I haven’t seen you in fucking ages man! Not since, what, that night we hijacked that backhoe?”

***

Calum and Luke sit next to each other on a long flight.

you got me (ao3) - welcometobadlands michael/luke G, 3k

Summary: Luke didn't plan to be in an animal shelter the next day. But, whether with Ashton's advice from last night in mind or otherwise, he ended up wandering into one after work the next day, regardless.

or AU where Luke is lonely, Ashton sucks, Calum works in an animal shelter and Michael is a hot mess when he meets Luke

My Stray Kids Fanmeet Experience

So i saw skz for the first time in real life the other day (jan 202023 to be exact :p) and i wanna write my whole experience so that i can look back at this in the future cuz my memory is shit 😅

It all started last year 2022 around Nov/Dec when bench announced that they'll have a bench x stray kids fanmeet this Jan 2023 (excite excite) so obv i just HAD to get tickets. ITS STRAY KIDS HELLO?

minor detour for some of that extra context lol:

I got into skz mid to late 2021 and ofc it was felix with his deep ass “cooking like a chef” yt short that sucked me in. From then on i just got hooked into their content and just them in general. Really nice to see a grp thats around my age doing something amazing like what theyre doing now.

Anyway! Back to my fan meet xp

So last yr i saw the announcement and got all majorly excited. At first i was thinking of getting VIP tickets. I was actually willing to spend 8k for a fanmeet and a chance to receive a poster from them. But then i saw the lines in bench and i was like,, hell naw! I aint gonna be putting myself through that. Y’all can wait in line for that imma spend my time elsewhere. So i waited for the promo period to get tickets for lower box instead. This was only 4k with a chance for a bye wave opportunity (no physical up close interaction like shaking hands or anything but at least u get to see them closer up). I was totally fine w this since i spend less and since im not going for what majority (who can afford) want, less ppl to deal with/wait in line for.

Now.. i went through s t r u g g l e just to claim my ticket after buying my stuff from bench. Dont really wanna retype everything since ive already shared w my friends so imma just attach screenshots of my rant

(Screenshots here)

Now, after that whole ordeal, is the new year and i honestly forgot there was a raffle. Also can i just say, thank goodness ate girl (for those that dont know ate is filipino for sister that we use even for non relatives.. kinda like noona/unnie) was kind enough to send me my code that night so i was still able to enter my code for the raffle to win a bye wave opportunity. Cuz if not… i wouldnt have seen skz up close😿

Jan 12 day of the bye wave winners announcement: I checked my email around morning and noon; nothing. So i was like ayt, i didnt win. I’ll still get to see skz tho irl w decent seats.

BUT THEN

when i checked my email again in the evening- actually i didnt purposefully check my mail; i just saw the push notif on my phone. Something like “STRAY KIDS WINNER, congratulations!” and I FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. Like OH MY GOD. OH. MY. GOD!! I WON?!?!??? Suuuper ecstatic. Kept squeeling and shit. I could not even.😶😱🤗😵🥴🫠🤪🤪🤪

After i was able to calm down, I immediately let ate girl know if we could meet up earlier so i can get my receipt back so i can have no trouble on the day of the fanmeet when i claim the raffle. She was nice enough to agree and meet up earlier and it was nice that she seemed happy for my win (she also bought lb tix) kinda regretful i didnt try to be friends w her but im shy so whatever. I just want receipt so i can see the bois😛😁😁😁

Cut to day of fan meet. Wait no- actually.. the week of the fanmeet. The monday of that wk is when i met up w ate gurl to get my receipt. Friday was the fanmeet. In between i was tryna decide my outfit (that i dont have a pic of but whatever. i’ll describe it nalang) which ended up being a kinda loose white tank top with a green plaid long sleeve on top then dark grey/black slim jeans. Add in a couple of accessories ( choker, chains, earrings) and we’re good to go. Oh i also had on my hidden high heel highcut black sneakers (or at least i think theyre sneakers; can never remember fashion shtuff)

In case it wasn’t obvious i was fully planning to go on my own since my friends/cousins said they couldnt (busy or broke) so whatever. BUT THEN my friend, day before the fanmeet- night before actually- was like “ hey! Joke lang im actually going to the meet” so i was like “omg yay!” Not like that exactly but yeah. Same sentiments :p

I asked my friend if we could meet up on fri and she said sure. She’ll just be w her friend who got her the ticket.

Now! We can finally cut to the day of the fanmeet. Claiming for raffle winners are from 10am-2pm then theres an orientation @3pm so i went to moa around 12-1230, got my photo cards (chan, leeknow, & hyunjin) and the wristband showing me as a bye wave winner. Went around moa, had lunch in jollibee, waited around in my car for my friend to arrive around 4, 5pm. Ate again in ikea resto then we finally went to the venue.

While lining up we made friends w another stay who gave out some freebies (ngl i forgot her name🥲) she was sweet. I was kinda stupid and decided to split up from my friend (cuz there 2 lines and the one i went to was shorter but my friend didnt follow so 🙃☹️) so i ended lining up alone when i told her that i wanted to meet up so i wouldnt line up alone lol. Anyway, i got inside moa arena went to my seat in lb 221 and got ready for the fanmeet.

The fanmeet started around 7pm (tho gates opened at 5) it wasnt fully packed inside but there were still a LOT of Stay that attended. Tho i think gen ad was fully packed.

Honestly everything happened so fast that if i didnt take videos and didnt see the vids that others have posted online, i woulda forgotten everything but i know i enjoyed every minute of it😁

So first off skz opened w God’s Menu then the host, Sam Oh (who i know of because she used to be on radio and i loved listening to her shows then), introduced them and on the programme went.

The kids played some jenga w missions, whisper challenge, dance replay challange, domino challange, paint a shirt that was raffled out to the audience) call w a fan(that didnt work out cuz of cell service issues) also i didnt quite get that WE had to call the numbers of the phones in front of the skz members so i didnt really try until it was too late. One fan was able to connect tho but it didnt really work out too well. Im glossing over these and might have mentioned them in the wrong order but thats because there are tons of vids out there about these so i won’t go into detail.

At the end of the fan meet skz performed Case 143 and we moved on to the giving out of signed posters THEN my long anticipated bye wave opportunity. So while the poster receivers were getting ready so were the bye wavers. There was an usher of sorts holding a sign for us to recognize and follow to the exit. The staff told us that no pics/vid was allowed😕 sucks but i was planning to sneak a vid if possible. Others also tried im sure of it. I was 15/200 in line. Unfortunately because i was so close to the front and they were ushering us to the stage pretty fast, i couldnt set up my phone to video on time. No matter tho. There was a barrier that was too high for the phone in my front jean pocket to even capture anything so it wouldve failed anyway.

Going up the stage felt so rushed even tho the videos showed that we werent even walking that fast. But it felt so fast that i couldnt even tell you what order the kids were in when i was waving bye to them. Thank god for other Stays tho so imma put their line up here so i can recall my experience better

They were grouped by twos behind some barriers that looked like kiosk stands from left to right (tho we entered right and left the stage left) it went

Chan - Lee Know | Changbin - Hyunjin | Han - Felix | Seungmun - I.N.

We were like 5ft away from them kandhaksbskabxj

Ok so first i saw was IN and i gotta be honest i cant remember the experience 😭😭 id like to say we made brief eye contact but im not sure. I think i saw that he was looking at the ones behind me so i moved my eyes to Seungmin. Again i cant remember anymore so idek what actually happened here

Now Seungmin, bb, i swear we made eye contact and i think i shocked him with my hair cause his eyes widened and mouth opened wider while looking at me aidbsidbdlaj. Context: i have a shaved head. Tho im in the middle of growing it out. My last shave was mid Dec last yr so my hair at this point is about an inch to an inch and a half

Lemme just insert here that i COULD NOT stop smiling

Next was Felix and oh. my. GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!!! We made the looongest eye contact ever!!! wodbsisbdb SWEAR!! At least 2 seconds! It was glorious~ And his face was just so beautiful and his smile was angelic and he may not be my bias but he lives rent free mehn. Rent. Free. Period.

Ayt so Han. My bb, my bias. I feel so bad cause i think i got so caught up w looking at felix ( making fucken 2 second eye contact) that i think Han saw me not looking at him so he went on to say bye to the ones behind me already😖😣😔😢😭 tho i did try to catch his eyes but no such luck cause i had to keep moving

Moving on, it was Hyunjin. Very brief, my encounter with him. Again i think i spent too long looking at Felix that it just pushed back the rest to skip over me causing me to miss meeting eyes with the rest. But Hyunjin 👌 also he be the tallest of the grp

Same thing with Changbin tho i really did try my best to look at them whenever they were more or less directly in front of me. The size of this man tho! Batak! So buff 💪 i just wanna feel… all of it👀 in a non sexual way ofc😶 unless? 😏 jk (or am i🤔)

Anyway!

Lee Know is so pretty like wtf . But again he was already looking at those behind me😞 and i had to keep the line moving so.. sad=me Lee Know is my bias wrecker pa naman🫤 i really love his relationship w Han whether its just friends or whatever it is I just love seeing the interactions. (Ngl tho,, the fan edits of minsung that i see Stay post? Mmm is something alright)

Bang fucken Chan DOE! Maybe cuz he’s last idk. But he made it a point to look at me in the eyes😍🥰 made me soo happy~ and his smile! And dimples! My gosh he’s just adorable☺️😊🫠🫠🤭 i just wanna be your friend man. Actually i just wanna be friends with all 8 of them bdkajxhak

Moving on.

After all this we were ushered out of the arena and I decided to loiter a bit outside before i went back to my car. Fangirled like crazy. Then promptly went back to the hotel. I fangirled again when i saw my cousins at the hotel roofdeck cuz i couldnt just keep this in mehn i had to let it out and share my joy.

Later in the night i found out that skz stayed a bit longer to jam w the crowd while Doodle was playing. Kinda jealous but i got to see them up close so im content for now.

The upcoming concert in March tho.. i NEED to get sound check and vip tix. I just gotta💪 heres to me, hopin’ i get the tickets i want🤞🤞
