toa anniversary munday!

Celebrating TOA and the people who contribute to make our group what it is.

Repost, don't reblog. Only fill in what you feel comfortable sharing!

Happy anniversary, TOA! Here's to many more years spent together.

Name: Nic

Pronouns: they/them

Birthday (no year): 14th July

Where are you from? What is your time zone? UK, GMT (or BST but don't get me started on daylight savings I'll explode)

How long is your roleplay experience? Does playing A Bug's Life on the playground when I was 5 count? If not, I started with rping HP characters with my friends when I was like 11-12 over MSN after school and whilst there have been breaks it's something I've always found myself coming back to.

How were you introduced to roleplaying as a whole? As above, I made a couple of friends on (unrelated) forums and we all just thought it'd be fun.

How were you introduced to TOA? I thought I missed rp and looked for an FE based rp.

Do you have any pets? Yes, all hail Catcat the Great.

What is your favorite time of year and why? (Season, holiday, general period) Summer. I hate the heat and humiditiy but once there's no daylight the seasonal affective disorder bass boosts my chronic mental health issues and it's just a bad time really.

What is your IRL occupation? I've gone back to uni to study Law :)

Some interests and things you like/enjoy? I love reading, I'm fascinated by linguistics and astrophysics, enjoy DnD and playing video games in my spare time. I'm a particular sucker for the Sims franchise.

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play? Recently I've been playing BG3, Stardew Valley, The Sims & Fields of Mistria but I'm a big fan of the Persona series and really, really excited about Dragon Age The Veilguard

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: I don't really play Pokemon much anymore but I'll just say Sylveon I guess

Tell us some funfacts and trivia about yourself! I met the fourth Doctor when I was 11 and he complemented my vocabulary lmao. I once got published in a poetry anthology with a poem about Shadow the Hedgehog and my parents we so proud of me.

How did you get into Fire Emblem? I think I saw a review on TV

What Fire Emblem games have you played? I've attempted to play every game except 1/2/3/5/11, although I've really wanted to play Thracia I just *need* some QoL updates and controls. I haven't finished every single one because of lost/deleted saves and stuff but I've watched playthroughs and read up on scripts on everything I haven't actually played myself.

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: My first was Fates but Jugdral, Magvel and 3 Houses are my favourite

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series! Elincia, Mercedes, Franz, Myrrh and ughhhh I can't choose between Chole/Yunaka/Sylvain so I'm cheating

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason! I saw Ryoma in all that red armour and it grabbed my attention.

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 Miss Mercedes if you're free Thursday night

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays? - Awakening: Chrom, originally be accident but now on purpose :D - Fates: My first was Takumi and I didn't know what an S support was and was very confused. Nowadays usually Kaze or Laslow if playing F!Corrin and Orochi, Nyx or Charlotte if playing M!Corrin. Niles for either. - Three Houses: Mercedes. She's still my go to ofc but I'm also fond of Dorothea, Dimitri and Sylvain. If I'm playing M!Byleth Yuri or Ingrid - Engage: Yunaka was my first and now it's either Yunaka, Diamant or Chloe. Or Mauvier maybe hahfsdgfsd

Favorite Fire Emblem class? I love Pegasus Knights!!!!!!!

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable? Probably a reluctant recruit who accidentally gets involved. Weirdly magic based armoured character.

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? (Black Eagles, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, Church of Seiros, Those Who Slither in the Dark, unaffiliated civilian, other - for example Almyran) Either unaffiliated civilian or Blue Lions probably

If you were an Officers Academy student, what would be your boons, banes and potential budding talent? Boons: Lance, Reason, Heavy Armour Banes: Bow, Faith Budding Talent: idk Axes or Flying?

If you were an Engage character, which nation would you originate from? (Firene, the Kingdom of Abundance; Brodia, the Kingdom of Might; Elusia, the Kingdom of Knowledge; Solm, the Queendom of Freedom; Lythos, the holy land of the Divine Dragon; Gradlon, the desolate land of the Fell Dragon) No idea! Probably Elusia or Firene. The Solm heat would literally kill me.

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔(separate letters, to-ah, other?) TOA ;) (like Noah)

Current TOA muses: Elincia & Mercedes

Past TOA muses? A lot but most memorable to me are Sylvain and Julia, though I'm so excited to see Sylvain in good hands <3

Who was your first TOA muse? If you no longer have them, can you see yourself picking them up again? Elincia and I still have her.

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? White magic girlies though I'm trying to change things up.

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? Hm, I wish I felt I could write more of the male characters I enjoy effectively. In most other fandoms I've written in most of my muses have been men but it's just not so in FE. I'd also love to write a villain okay I once genuinely considered Hilda FE4 lmao

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) I like writing dialogue and characters bonding but I'm starting to like more action oriented scenes too.

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? For Mercedes in particular I get excited to write her steel and strength, especially when it's combined with her gentleness rather than opposed to it.

Favorite TOA-related memories? Every thread I've writen with Elincia and Rua's Byleth <3

Present or past tense? I tend to default to present in TOA but usually past tense. I'm flexible though and will try and match my partner.

Normal size text, small text, no preference? I actually find small text easier to focus in on and read (I can find normal a bit too cluttered and it can send my eyes wandering lmao) but I'm perfectly happy to use normal text, it just takes me a bit longer to comb through.

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 I can't see a shake up happening soon but... Zephia or Chloe are probably forerunners. I've thought about Palla and Astrid too but I'm not sure if I can see the longevity. Also Neimi, Myrrh and Rodrigue have sparked.... ideas. For muses I've written before, Julia is the most likely but I think she's having a nice break right now :)

[blackstarchanx3new]

Creations AU, But I obnoxiously over explain it PT 1

Pages 1-30

We are introduced to the man who ruined my life:

Currently nameless night guard with pale as fuck skin and pretty dead inside eyes. Weirdly grey hair for how youthful he is and blonde eyebrows.

Bro dyes his hair grey for some unexplainable reason.

forgive the art looking goofy it is over 2 years old lmfao.

I was too lazy to draw shit on a lot of the walls. I hate drawing backgrounds. Still do they are annoying. So BGs barely exist in Creations. It allows a lot more character focused shots but it is also very annoying looking back. X'DDDD

Though it means if I bothered with a background thing it's IMPORTANT.

Mike suspiciously eyes the things I bothered to draw on the wall because: Oop Springtrap.

Which you think would be a plot hole but this comic fucks with your sense of what reality is in the comic's own logic.

Mr. Nightguard still refuses to talk, but is intrigued by the robots on his cameras.

You'll notice: I tend to draw a LOT of panels for smaller details.

My comics have now been compared to "Storyboards" and I feel like that is more accurate. Like a lot of comics STUFF dialogue and actions into tight panels but as an indie comic creator: I don't have page limits lmao.

So I can make them do smaller actions and have the pace be a little slower.

I think this is why a lot of people get impeccant with my comics but I kinda like showing off more small simple actions.

Freddy appears!

And Mr. Nightguard is flabbergasted and checks his cams. Sure enough Chica and Freddy are both gone.

There's an error in this page lmfao but we're not gonna talk about that.

Freddy seems friendly enough...Maybe TOO friendly...

Freddy wants to fuck the nightguard lmfao and makes it very obvious.

So this is a running gag in Creations: you think a character will be one way and they just...Aren't. (Because of pre-established AU concepts like..."Freddy's a good leader")

This Freddy, is distinctly "a hoe". And I love him.

If it isn't extremally obvious...but just for those who are REALLY dumb: Most of the robots aren't possessed by kids.

This AU takes ideas from the FNAF series and ignores a lot.

Because it's an AU.

And I can do whatever I want lmfao.

People accepted Freddy was a slut but then got REALLY ANGRY about random semantics like what a certain character's name was.

And I'll never understand how you could accept Freddy being HIMSELF here, but would get mad about like...NAMES.

Someone explain that to me???? X'D

Either way Mr. Nightguard isn't ready for Freddy and locks him out of the office.

Freddy responds rather childishly by getting angry and proclaiming he is the most important person here.

Mr. Nightguard just points to the camera wordlessly as if to say "I am watching the place/you"

Freddy gets pissy and decides to go to SOMEONE to sort the nightguard's rude behavior out.

Freddy is seemingly more bothered about the Nightguard being rude than the rejection itself.

Bonnie the Bunny is a smoking tough guy in this comic.

Why?

Because the most accepted Fannon Bonnie was a weak little shithead that didn't do much so I made mine a tough guy. X'D

He's a stoner because comedy.

Distinctly one of his eyes are busted and he is not a fan of Freddy plowing into him.

We learn immediately Freddy whining to Bonnie is normal and while Bonnie acts annoyed he goes to sort things out immediately showing his loyalties do lie with the bear.

Also bonnie is huge if Freddy's height is anything to go off of.

He yanks off Mr. Nightguard's hat and is generally a rude fellow himself.

Asking bluntly if Mike has a second to hear what he has to say.

Mr. Nightguard stares blankly at this action.

Bonnie has no clue what personal space is, getting more and more into Mr. Nightguard's face and doesn't even let him respond.

Bonnie's the one who seemingly keeps the peace around here via thinly vailed threats of violence.

Freddy's whining fest is again linked to the rude behavior of slamming the door and Bonnie isn't a fan of hearing it.

Bonnie continues not to let Mr. Nightguard get a word in and is ready to leave getting ready to smoke another cigarette.

Mr. Nightguard recognizes Bonnie prompting my favorite lines from any character in this comic:

"What a freak"

because Mike being considered a freak is a running gag in this comic for reasons that become VERY apparent.

Bonnie's eyes shift a different color too. How odd. :)

I was lazy with this one lmao.

Someone with the initials "F.S" is a big fan of Freddy.

And other doodles have a lot of references to broken hearts.

Mr. Nightguard can hear Mike coming, he DID something that pissed Bonnie off. This presumably had to do with Freddy Mr. Nightguard seems unphazed and rather silly in his mannerisms and dialogue despite his blank expression.

Saying "Boop" as he presses the button and obviously lying when he claims he doesn't know how to use a knife in a fight.

Why is Mr. Nightguard carrying a suspiciously large kitchen knife around on him exactly?

Bonnie is ready and WANTS a fight, but Mr Nightguard is very hesitant to do so.

Bonnie is rude and blows cigarette smoke into Mr. Nightguard's face, repeating he is pissed off.

asking if Mr. Nightguard knows how people die there.

Golly gee. I can finally stop calling him "Mr Night guard"

This is Mike Schmidt. We are introduced to the idea there is ANOTHER Mike in the building... If you are familiar with FNAF lore you know exactly who that is.

Bonnie proclaims Mike Schmidt's new name is "Baby boy"

a very rude and condescending nickname for a grown man.

Bonnie has an odd device in the back of his throat when he opens his mouth wider. If you've noticed up until this point: Bonnie doesn't open his mouth to speak, that thing in the back of his throat is an air filter and he keeps his mouth shut until the air he smokes is clear.

This is never stated directly in the comic, rather smth you gotta infer yourself at some point. Which lead to MANY people asking "Wtf is that thing in Bonnie's mouth"

It's an air filter.

Mike gets tossed into the backroom area.

There's a cheeky reference to my OC comic Falling Cards with some art on the wall. There's a LOT of Falling Cards references in at least a few of my FNAF animations I know that for sure. X'D

Mike is disturbed by the blood on the spare empty Freddy suit.

Bonnie not so subtly threatens "That's where he's going"

Implying someone has most certainly DIED in there.

I have joked with just about everyone that scene is kinky.

And that joke only gets funnier when smth about Bonnie is revealed later buuuut I digress.

Mike is prepped for death.

Mike actually shows some emotion here being disturbed as the suit is tossed besides him and Bonnie lifts up the Freddy head.

Mike shows off a package of SOMETHING that captures Bonnie's attention.

People assumed that was chocolate.

But considering we've seen Bonnie obsessed with ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY...you can kinda infer what that packet is...

Mike's attitude intimidates even Bonnie.

This kinda gives the vibe nobody's been this aggressive, at least in this particular manor towards the animatronics before.

Mike comes off as an incredibly unstable individual given what we know about him so far:

He carries around a kitchen knife and will quickly snap if you act in a way he deems inappropriate.

It's revealed in case you didn't realize: This was a package of cigarettes.

Which leads to the fun question: Does Mike smoke?

This would seem silly on first glance. He HAS a pack of cigarettes of COURSE he smokes...Right?

Notice: He doesn't use the previously mentioned knife through this scene but would rather use bribery...

This shows Mike would rather manipulate/intimidate than actually fight physically. Which makes sense considering Bonnie's size and strength.

Or perhaps he is avoiding a fight with Bonnie for emotional reasons. As it's implied Mike has some connection.

Either way he cuts a deal with Bonnie that he will give Bonnie a few cigarettes for work. And Bonnie agrees.

We start off in the office, it is unclear if this is a new day or the same night.

Bonnie happily has his cigarette and Mike remarks he didn't think Bonnie NEEDED to smoke.

Bonnie just responds Freddy's bots are weird.

There's a help wanted easter egg here with the faz token in the lockers.

Mike is searching for "anything of interest" and establishes he's interested in the bloody suit.

Bonnie seems amused by this outright stating he just wanted to scare Mike. Delighted in getting a reaction out of our so far very stoic night guard.

Bonnie seems clueless about the actual death surrounding that suit, just that he knows SOMEONE died in it at SOME POINT. But can we really trust his word at this point?

Bonnie also says ANOTHER favorite line of mine, because it's so stupid

"Hah...Blunt"

get it. because weed-

Anyway Mike mentions a person named "Jeremy" to Bonnie and Bonnie confuses this person with another Jeremy in a different department.

This evidently isn't who Mike is talking about.

Bonnie's SHOCKED Mike would DARE leave the office but Mike's full of sass and says as long as he has the tablet to watch the cameras he IS doing his job.

Bonnie shows an odd level of concern, voicing Mike is putting himself in danger.

Mike not so slyly brings up he can bring Bonnie more cigarettes as a way to keep himself safe.

Bonnie's vision gltiches as Mike smiles and Bonnie is very freaked out by this, weirdly apologizing for nothing.

Bonnie has a moment of clarity realizing he has seen Mike before somewhere too.

Something about this man is FIMILAR.

Bonnie catches on Mike's method of self preservation: His blank expression.

It's a lie.

One Bonnie can see through easily as Mike's actions don't reflect a state of someone who is calm.

Asking Bonnie to stay close and holding his hand, coming to the realization Mike feels safer with Bonnie for whatever reason.

He purposely does a creepy at the cameras freaking out Jeremy Fitzgerald, who isn't interested in "Being a witness".

A hand pokes out from behind Mike. One that isn't Bonnie's.

OH HI GOLDEN FREDDY'S MASSIVE BLEEDING FLOATING HEAD. HOW THE HELL ARE YOU!?

Mike and Jeremy seem to not notice their presence.

Jeremy is terrified of Bonnie however. Mike reassures Bonnie is a non issue as Bonnie pats Mike's head firmly mockingly saying "Hi Jeremy"

Bonnie continues to mess with Mike's hair rather childishly while Mike seems unphased. Bonnie's antics aren't something he really seems to mind.

He bribes Bonnie with more cigarettes to watch the cams while he discusses things with Jeremy. Jeremy himself lamenting Mike is WEIRD.

Jeremy quickly realizes Mike isn't completely insane and starts rambling about his terrible experiences at Freddy's.

Noting the Nightguards are really redundant considering the robot security.

His comment about the robots being "Evil" pisses Bonnie off.

The person who shares Mike's name is brought up again we now know him as "Michael". Jeremy is eager to get onto dayshift with this individual and Mike also wants to get in touch with him.

This "Michael" figure apparently works in the rental place below the main building and not much is known what goes on down there...how odd. Jeremy seems a bit upset by this fact.

CBS Ghosts - Pilot - Sam & Jay & the B&B

Warning Spoilers may appear.

Okay, obviously Jay drove, but they would’ve driven passed some ghosts on the way to the house - did Sam not see them or not realize they were ghosts?

Perhaps she was settling in for a long ride and had her eyes closed?

It’s SO interesting that Jay just like surprises her with this - what was he thinking?  

Sam’s obviously over the house - which makes sense since she almost died - questions: WHY does this couple like to make one-person decisions for both of them?  

Also, Sam’s like “Home?  Why no home?”  which makes sense given how she probably just wants to rest.

Lastly, WHAT would he have done if Sam had said ‘I almost died here, WHY would bring me here????’

I really want to know.  He’s lucky she was more excited about B&B.

Which brings me to - damn, she must’ve really hated the city. Like how is it that she's so ready for abandoning her life there for a house that she almost died.

Let’s not downplay this, Jay.  It was a COMA.

She almost died - don’t negate that.

I love how Jay’s like “I totally just put us in the hole, but you know what - who cares?”

He’s just like - hilarious - oh, it’s going to cost SO MUCH MONEY that we DON’T HAVE and it’s a ridiculous amount of work, but... house?

AWWW How sweet and interesting is it that almost dying flips their positions on the house.  

Despite loving the show - these two people should not be making a big life decision right now - AND WITHOUT EACH OTHER - What Jay did here, taking out all of their money for this venture while Sam was in a coma is actually not cute at all.  What if she really meant it when she changed her mind?  What if the house gives her nightmares or something else?  

Like it just - it’s meant to be cute, and there would be no show without it, but DAMN JAY.  

I do love how Jay’s like “We need help” and “We’re staying” but it’s cute how excited Sam is considering that she JUST said that she was sure Jay was right.

Like he clearly knows his wife the best and it’s pretty amazing how happy they are about this!  

OKAY THIS IS THE ONLY MENTION OF Jay’s Parents and it’s to say “that they don’t approve”.  They had time to talk about this but they aren’t there to support Sam and Jay at all????  

I really wish I understood the dynamic there, especially with the little we learn later:

1. Bela and Sam aren’t close & Bela was mighty quick to assume the worst of both Sam and Jay.  Plus she only visits once when she’s down (and was totally planning on ditching them for Trevor - who she JUST started talking to 2 days prior) and once during Christmas (and where were their parents?)

2. Jay is close to his mother - like weirdly close

3. AND YET, there’s a family chat WITHOUT Sam that they use

4. and they’ve never been to the mansion

This makes me feel like Jay’s parents are not supportive of his marriage to Sam.  Sam has mentioned more than once about not really having a family and Jay’s family has not been inclusive - I mean seriously a “Core Family” chat and a family chat with Sam?  RUDE.

Anyway, I’ll get into that eventually.  Still on Episode one...

Jay is so cute - Like in this moment, he’s putting Sam first despite the fact that he’s giving up his life and wants in the city, just for her and it’s corny and sweet and GOD JAY IS THE BEST.  :)

LMAO Jay practiced it - he wanted to be corny.  He knows Sam so well.

Awwwww, these two are so adorable.  

There’s ONE thing that bugs me though - How the F did the ghosts NOT KNOW what Jay was planning?  I’ll get into it in the next scene, but WHAT????

He HAD to have inspectors and other people to make this surprise work - HOW did these bored ass ghosts NOT NOTICE??? I NEED TO KNOW.

Did they just hang out in the forest or what??? Did they banish themselves?? I need to know.

Now, that would be funny, they all got banished from Ghost court and spent the two weeks in the forest.  

OMG would Hetty or Trevor have been banished for the scene after Sam’s fall?  It was an accident on Trevor’s part, but Hetty calling him a murderer - maybe that’s how they resolved the issue to be so lax in the last scene????

Aw, Hetty has clearly grown attached to her before she can talk to her.

AGAIN, HOW did they NOT know about this???? It’s IMPOSSIBLE?!

Anyway - OMG - Almost at the last scene - although I did skip a couple scenes, the one where Sam admits her kink and is putting up paint, the one with the basement ghosts and Jay’s failed attempt to fix it, and... wait, what was the other one?  I wrote down three...

Hmmm, anyway!

Feel free to chat if you like :)

Thanks!

CBS Ghosts - Pilot - Sam & Jay and the B&B

AHHH Almost at the End of the Pilot!

Exciting - Spoilers and discussion with gifs below:

'drowned in love' was amazing!!💖 now i can't help but imagine what faces those lords would pull when they come knocking on harrenhal's doors after the war and find witch queen lady of the castle alys, elysa on her arm and not one but Two white haired kids there lmao. the maesters would for sure have a field day with that event in the historical records. also aemond jr #1 and #2 (we really do need actual names for them huh💀) getting to grow up with two loving mothers is sooo important to me (very gaemon palehair - essie - sylvenna core except we can pretend alys and co. were lucky enough to not meet a similar fate and lived happily ever after since there's no mention of them in the book past that incident). i'd like to think alys and elysa would try very hard to make aemond a part of the kids' life in some way; always telling stories about him, saying how important he was to them and that he would definitely love the little ones with all his heart if he were still there etc 🥹

Thank youuuuuu.

Love the idea that harwin’s genes beat the shit out of nyra’s Targaryen one but Aemond genes win out for his kids 😭😭. Never gonna catch him slipping even while having kids. Aemond is just so… girl dad to me so I see alys having their boy and Elysa having a girl.

Now I’m super interested in how their dynamic would be described in f&b. Knowing how weirdly alys gets painted (one minute they say she bathed in blood, the next she kept Aemond from killing a messenger). I’m sure it would be the same for Elysa. They’d probably say something misogynistic about her ~stealing~ Aemond.

The maesters and lords seeing Elysa and alys

[savebatsfromscratch]

*I actually am almost done writing a F/F ship fic right now, but, as with a lot of my other ships, I find it's not a very popular one and I wanna talk about yuri for a hot second.

(The main reason I specifically want F/F ships to write is because I find I just don't end up shipping them as often in the specific fandoms I actually make content for. This is because (despite everything) I mostly do stay in region for Pokemon ships, and there are usually only one to two main female characters per region in the various mangas I like, and I don't always ship them. There isn't really this problem with male characters because there are more of them. This can also be reflected in almost all of my other main fandoms, but I kept this to Pokemon for my own sake. qwq)

Now, for propaganda/understanding of my reasoning! :D

---

1. RealContenderShipping -> Two Fics on Ao3, one is mine.

They get ice cream together in canon, I think that is very cute.

Mitsumi is an almost** perfect match for Cynthia in terms of battle power, making for several interesting plot ideas. (**Like the Hareta and Koya battle, there isn't actually an answer as to who won their battle. I truth Mitsumi, but who knows what the author actually intended.)

Idk they're just weirdly flirty?? Idk how to explain it they just... they just are weirdly flirty... It's something, that's for sure.

I think the author would love it if he saw it...

This is probably my favorite ship here, honestly.

2. Jadeshipping -> 52 fics on Ao3, five are mine.

Honestly I ship Yellow with everyone is Kanto super hard Jadeshipping is just a favorite.

Green convinced Yellow to dress as a boy to go after Red and Yellow did it. A lot to unpack there in so many directions but it is something I like.

That panel up there is SO cute.

I want them to go out fishing and shopping and painting and Pokemon battling and listening to music and swimming and traveling to Paladea (to match Red and Blue to Alola) and braiding each other's hair and- and-

I just love them a lot okay.

3. Courtney/Daisy Oak -> 4 fics on Ao3, none are mine. (I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE ANY I'M READING THEM NOW...)

I'm so sorry I am a Straight!Daisy truther because I ship Teashipping so hard and I have to leave at least one character straight or all of them are queer (lmao), but I am also a multishipper and oh boy they just have so much going on.

This feels like a good angst potential ship, especially if you leave Courtney dead at the end of RS, but even if you don't, there is a lot of "I left my friend behind," "I miss her," "maybe I shouldn't be with Bill," that you can play with.

Or it could be about them being happy and doing contests together and helping them I can like two things. <3

I feel like they have the strongest argument for a fic existing, I just haven't made one yet.

They are so underrated for how awesome that little panel is. I love you Daisy Oak cameo in the Ruby Sapphire arch, it meant everything to me.

Another note: There are also a bunch of other F/F ships in Pokemon that I like a lot. I am a multishipper after all. These are just some of the ones that I actually think I could be capable of writing in a satisfactory way. qwq Like, I ENJOY Jessie and Cassidy from the anime, but I don't really have anything to say about them exactly. I LOVE DPA x Pokespe ships, but I don't know where to START with that, let alone where to go in a fic. Crystal and Green is a favorite of mine in headcanon land, but Crystal personally irritates me in a lot of her appearances in the actual series and I thus struggle to write her in fic, I really do like White x Whitwo, but I'm already writing an F/F ship with Whitwo and I struggle enough with writing her already without doing two back to back. White also similarily irritates me sometimes. Jupiter and Mitsumi are super duper fun, but I don't really have anything I want to write about them in particular, even though they have good angst potential. Platinum and Cadance and the fighting one have a really cool dynamic but I am NOT good at writing poly ships, sadly. I love Y x that-one-bully-lady-I-forgot-the-name-of, but if it wasn't clear enough by my telling of the ship I don't remember enough about that specific arch of Pokespe to actually do anything. Such is life unfortunately. 🤷‍♀️

Bonus Mitsumi and Cynthia under the cut. :) (They have ice cream together...)

still not gonna fully come back on tumblr yet but i just wanna say that i... finished my dreamworks tier list... i have now seen all 46 of this studio's movies--well, i guess technically not all, since i'm including the direct-to-video release joseph: king of dreams (which, despite only being at the top of the B tier on my list, i do think is pretty underrated and idk why nobody seems to give it a chance), but excluding the trollhunters movie because i've never seen the trollhunters show. maybe someday i will, but right now i'm just not interested.

so, this all just confirmed for me what i've thought for a long time already, which is that dreamworks is an incredibly weird and incredibly inconsistent studio. they've created some of the most beautiful and magical animated films of all time with releases like how to train your dragon, rise of the guardians, and prince of egypt, and some of the most absolute bottom of the barrel trash i've ever had to experience with things like antz, shark tale, and boss baby. and then they've also made a handful of very middle of the road movies, that i wouldn't really say i enjoy all that much, but which i don't think are necessarily bad either--this is the C tier on my list and i will be honest, the first shrek movie was originally in this tier for me because i'm just not that into it. i only moved it up a little because i felt like i had to admit that it is objectively a pretty good movie that was groundbreaking for its time and paved the way for shrek 2 and the puss in boots movies, all of which i love, to exist.

i guess i should share my final ranking, huh? before i do that i will also say that this ranking is absolutely not objective at all and is almost entirely based on my own personal enjoyment. like i said, i originally had shrek 1 in C tier lol. and i have trolls world tour in A tier because i just genuinely love a lot of things about it and very thoroughly have a fun time watching it. the trolls franchise as a whole is so much better than most dreamworks stuff and i will die on this hill. i also tried to rank things from best to worst within the tiers, but i'm very indecisive and some of these movies were hard to rank simply because i couldn't decide if they were closer to "okay" or "bad", or "bad" or "awful"... i could see some of my rankings maybe changing slightly if i thought about it a little more. for now i'm fine with where everything is, though.

anyway, here's my list that is sure to make at least one person want to yell at me lol:

so, to break it down, my top 5 favorite dreamworks movies are:

Prince of Egypt

Rise of the Guardians

How to Train Your Dragon

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

How To Train Your Dragon 2

(i feel so bad that spirit: stallion of the cimarron got pushed out of the top 5... puss in boots: the last wish just existing + me rewatching HTTYD 2 and remembering how much i love it made that inevitable. but hey, it's still top tier.) and my top 5 least favorite dreamworks movies, starting with the least terrible one, are:

The Boss Baby

Turbo

Shark Tale

Antz

Spirit Untamed

(i watched these movies all out of order and for the longest time i thought nothing would dethrone shark tale as the worst of the worst, but i really did hate antz and spirit untamed that much, which surprised me lmao)

again, if i called your favorite movie bad, that really just means it's not enjoyable to me personally--i'm no professional film critic. also, i feel like the tiers came out sort of weirdly even, and i ended up with 21 movies in S-B tiers and 25 movies in C-F tiers, which really speaks to the inconsistency of dreamworks as a studio. i plan to try and keep up with their releases from now on, so i do hope that kung fu panda 4 & orion and the dark turn out well... but dreamworks keeps doing shit like releasing prince of egypt right after antz or putting out ruby gillman right after puss in boots: the last wish, so i guess we'll see! i'm just glad that i can currently say i've seen basically every movie from this ridiculous studio.

Tim Doesn't Age

Source: #crack

E

Possible reasons why Tim doesn't age:

1) Lazarus water in his coffee, courtesy of Damien.  Damien, ever tired of being the "baby" of the family, secretly doses Tim in small amounts with Lazarus water so while Damien gets a chance to look dark and gritty like Batman as he gets older, Tim will have a perpetual case of baby face. Tim, being the avid coffee drinker he is, doesn't even notice. The thing is, what Damien would have never guessed is that even though the doses are super small, Tim is now not only technically immortal, but Also a citizen of the ghost zone (if we're going by the theory of Lazarus pits being defunct ghost zone portals)

They find out this when a ghost zone equivalent of a IRS auditor shows up asking Tim why he hasn't been paying his taxes

M/F

pffft

AK

Wouldn't that just be like reaaaly bad ectocontamination

M/F

Then Jazz and Danny are pretty much immortal too

Danny before the accident

AK

It could be that all his near-death experiences were him coming back as a halfa idk maybe death is an activation agent

M/F

Tim has a lot of near-death situations...

E

2) Impulse stole a few years off of him using the speed force as a dare, and genuinely forgot to return them.

I don't think bart did it outta spite- just to see if he could but he had to go save someone before he could return the years.

Bonus: since he moved too fast to track/see, Bart lost the bet

E

               [Wouldn't that just be like reaaaly bad ectocontamination]

I only posted this for the lolz, up to personal interpretation 🤷‍♀️

AK

Theoretically if jazz were to kick the bucket shed become a halfa going by the logic I posted abive

Due to lifetime ecto-contamination

Or Tim's a ghost 😱

E

3) The stress of being in constant life or death battles gives Tim baby face. It sounds completely rediculious, which it is,but hear me out. Some aspects of physiology, especially in certain DC alternate universes, are psychosomatic. Studies have been conducted that reveal the body deteriorates in high stress situations. So the reason Tim looks forever young is because a bunch of angst and stress stunted his growth.

I'll grant that this could affect other batfam members, except stress affects everyone differently, so there's a chance that the others just aren't as bothered, or that they show being bothered differently

               [Or Tim's a ghost 😱]

That's probably reason 4

M/F

reason 5: Tim is a vampire

E

               [That's probably reason 4]

Tim died of a caffeine induced heart attack and the dumbass didn't realize he was a ghost so he went on living his life but never aged

AK

Lmao

I personally hc that Tim doesn't drink coffee. He can stay awake for that long bc he's a ghost

M/F

reason 7: magic?

E

Adsfdsgf

But if Tim doesn't drink coffee, why a thermos?

AK

He never liked it but after a weirdly rapid heart rate one day, he didn't need it to stay awake anymore!!

M/F

reason 6 is not to be spoken of/j

AK

               [But if Tim doesn't drink coffee, why a thermos?]

Hot choco

E

Tt.

AK

ghost blobba tea slipped in there by either Jason or Damien who probs have contact with the ghost zone via either Danny or the pits

E

Hecc

Bobba tea would be weird in a thermos, just saying

Maybe Steph makes Tim soup?

M/F

Ghost blob noodles

AK

with GHOST VEGGIES

SS

Reason 8: Death knows better than to fuck with the kid who fought Time itself for Bruce

M/F

Reason 9: Reboots and the concept of timeline continuity don't affect him anymore

SS

10: he slipped out of the timestream by accident while he was bat stalking and now he can't get back in

M/F

11: Reasons 10 and 9 make all the reasons valid somehow

L

Death should fear most the bats with how much they ignore it

M/F

death is a social construct

SS

12: Tim accidentally swallowed one of Clockwork's shrunken medallions while he was an unsupervised toddler

M/F

13: He got a kpop idol's skin care routine

14: It’s a curse from one of the things his parents picked up

SS

15: Tim is an eldritch god that got amnesia

16: Tim swallowed a time stone from one of the Marvel crossovers in the 90s

17: Tim actually is aging but backwards

SS

Benjamin Button is that you?

18: Tim is just Like That and no one knows how or why

M/F

19: His spleen caused him to age, but after he lost it.... he lost the ability to age

20: The MCU snap got him, and somehow the bats didnt notice he was missing or that 5 years passed.

because continuity is already messed up

SS

21: Klarion did it for the lols

M/F

22: Shazam (old wizard) did it for the lols

23: Constantine did

No one asked for this but I’m still gonna word-vomit my feelings on the finale because if I don’t process them I’m gonna explode (don’t worry it’s not a rant or anything, I just have a lot of Thoughts).

OK so my main concern regarding this as the backbone of the season 3 storyline is that, for it to play out in a way that I will actually enjoy, the ONLY option is to have it be so that they eventually realize that they are enjoying their little charade a bit too much and find themselves wishing it were real and THAT is one of the big revelations/twists of the season. Otherwise, it would just feel too much like they’re cheapening the relationship, which is weird considering that this is a ship that THEY created, that has fans because THEY said "Here, ship this, and no, you are not delusional, it's real." And the thing is that, if they were a straight couple, there would be no doubt in anyone’s mind that THAT is where they were headed, but I’ve been burned too many times by shows with f/f ships not to be a little apprehensive. I'm also not super thrilled with the whole "using the gay flag in vain," as Ana's lawyer put it, which is why the only way for me to be comfortable with this storyline is for them to think they are doing this purely as a means to an end only to realize they don't actually want it to be JUST a pretend situation anymore. So, as you can see, there are a lot of caveats in order for this storyline to be enjoyable for me, lol, there's so much at stake here I'm so stressed!!!!

And yet, weirdly, there’s also a part of me that’s glad they didn’t actually go there with them for real just yet? IDK it’s just... if they had, I would be really stressed out right now (what else is new lmao) fearing that the execution of an actual relationship between Ana and Mariana could fall short of what it could be. But now, whatever they do, it’s gonna be fake anyway, so there’s less pressure! LOL. And also, yeah, I’m one of those crazies who actually LIKE a good, drawn-out slow burn and sometimes find it more compelling than the actual relationship bits of a ship, so I don’t mind waiting a bit longer for the payoff (PROVIDED that the payoff does actually come, that’s the thing. Hence my anxiety). And also like... The show is gonna give me FAKE DATING???? Only THE most god-tier trope that is impossible to find in an f/f context??? How did I get so lucky???? So yeah, in spite of myself, there is a lot to be excited about for next season. And, as someone somewhere pointed out, it was Juan Carlos and Pablo the ones who wanted to use the “weird situation between Ana and Mariana” against them in an explicitly homophobic manner, so if Ana and Mariana want to fight back against such a ridiculous ploy to fight them for their kids, I’d say they’re entitled.

And there are a few tidbits that I did find reassuring: 1) Once again, THE FUCKING SONG that played over the kiss/announcement I mean??? All about how “you can try to fight it but you’ll eventually realize I am the one for you” and “when [love I guess?] hits you, it happens even if you try to get away” and basically being a Mexican version of Shania Twain’s “I’m Gonna Getcha Good” and I AM GOING INSANE like you wouldn’t score a pretend kissing scene that way if you didn’t want the audience’s takeaway to be that there’s something more than just pretend there, right? RIGHT??? 2) The fact that Ludwika and Paulina are posting Ana/Mariana manips and pictures of the infamous necklaces with romantic lyrics, etc., which speaks to there being a more serious undercurrent to this situation than just “LOL fake gay dating to stick it to our baby daddies who are being insufferable about custody battles.”

And while I’m overanalyzing, I’m very intrigued by Mariana’s uneasiness after Ana asks if she’s ready for the annoucement and before Mariana confirms that she is. I mean it can probably be explained away most obviously by Mariana not wanting her newfound “arrangement” with Ana to mess up her budding relationship with Ferrán (which is a valid point). But IDK I kinda want to think that there’s something deeper there that has more to do with Mariana being worried about all this bringing back all her feelings for Ana that she thought she was over, especially considering that, as far as she knows, Ana doesn’t feel the same way. So, in Mariana’s head, it would be like a Faking It-type situation where she’s having to fake a relationship with someone to whom the charade is just a means to an end, whereas for Mariana the feelings are very much real. This would be a much more interesting path to take so I hope there’s some of that in the subtext of Mariana’s actions next season.

So, all in all, this season played out pretty much exactly how I expected/hoped it would. I fully expected the show to take its time to bring Ana and Mariana back together just in a friendly capacity because that’s Storytelling 101, and I didn’t expect anything romantic to happen between them until at least the penultimate episode (that’s Telenovela 101). What I failed to foresee, lol, was that ending and the fact that the show wouldn’t go there with them just yet. I actually reasonably expected them to get them together for real in the season finale (I spoiled myself with a YT fanvid thumbnail of the kiss, so I thought it was for real and, by the time I’d watched the second-to-last episode, I figured it would be the final scene) and then season 3 would finally deal with them trying to navigate a relationship. Silly me! But by now, after a LOT of sleeping on it, I actually think this is a way better option?? Lots more potential for fun hijinks, which is the show’s trademark, plus maybe some romantic/UST moments between them as they’re trying to keep up the charade. I don’t actually mind that they won’t be in a relationship for real yet because this whole setup is enough for me (once again, PROVIDED that there’s real subtext there). Is it December (?) yet????

[subtract-me-from-your-heart]

Alright yall it's time to bake a cake for Jay! He's old like me now. I figured I'd post a step by step because I'm trying something a little experimental based on a nifty cake I saw on instagram:

I don't really do cheesecake so I asked Jay what flavors he wanted and he voted for banana and strawberry. So this is going to be a Strawberry Banana Lemonade Cake! Time for ADHD baking with Sin.

Step one is to make the cake!! Here's what you need:

The box mix called for 3 eggs, 1/2 c of oil and 1 c water. I'm doctoring it and doing 4 eggs, 1/2 c of melted butter, and whole milk instead of water. I also like to add almond extract to my "vanilla" cakes because it makes it taste amazing. Most people will say to "be sparing" with almond extract but fuck those people.

Turn on some Coheed and Cambria and preheat your oven to 350°F. Prep your baking pans.

I also just realized I need to soften 1 1/2 c butter for my buttercream so lemme go ahead and get that out lmao.

Ok back to pan prep. Butter and flour was good enough for my Granny, and it's good enough for me. I've never had a cake stick using this method.

Two 9" baking pans ready to go!

My biggest tips for melting butter include cutting it is into cubes and microwaving on 30% heat for a minute at a time til it's all nice and liquidy. Also, cover your bowl or whatever it's in unless you want to have to clean that up later. I am very smart and have definitely never made that mistake.

Throw it all together and mix. I smelled the box mix and it seemed very sad so I added some vanilla on top of the almond extract and it tastes goooood.

Normally I weigh the bowl and try to get an even amount in both pans using a food scale. Today I forgot to do that! So we're doing our best out here. Fortunately for me somehow my baking pans weigh exactly the same so I was able to get roughly 455g in each pan.

Into the oven! I had to dig the instructions out of the trash lmao. 350°F for 30 minutes and we'll see where we're at after that.

While those are baking, time to prep some other components. I went ahead and washed my mixing bowl for later because I am not a fancy person and only have the one. Also cubed my butter for the buttercream and set it aside.

TIME TO MAKE A STRAWBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP!!

I stole this recipe off of Pinterest (Strawberry Simple Syrup Recipe). It's basically 2 cups of strawberries (I'm using frozen), 2 cups of sugar, and 2 cups of water. I added a teeny tiny splash of lemon juice... because of course I did! Lemon tends to just kind of brighten up and make the strawberries taste more strawberry... strawberry-y. As long as you don't overdo it.

Side note holy balls the cakes smell SO GOOD.

The recipe said to smash the strawberries with a spoon but I got frustrated very quickly and broke out the potato masher. Works great.

CAKES ARE DONE!

Just gonna let those bitches cool for a bit. And also turn off the oven because it's hotter than hell outside!

Halfway through with the strawberries and they look like a fruity stew.

I've learned over the years that getting a still-warm cake out of a pan is much easier than a fully cooled one so here we go.

Other than being weirdly browned, they look great lol. Also don't mind the crackers in the background. Sometimes you need a snack when baking.

Time to strain some strawberry soup! I have a very technical straining method:

It turned out so pretty and red!

Alrighty. I can't do much now til the cakes and the syrup both cool down a bit. See you in part 2!

Contemporaneous - Chapter 2

Pairing: Atsumu x F!Reader

Summary: In which you are so incredibly lucky to exist at the same time as Atsumu Miya. Or, perhaps, it’s the exact opposite…

Words: 4.1k

Warnings: Swearing, talk about dyeing hair when in reality I have never dyed hair or had my hair dyed lmao.

A/N: This turned out a bit longer than I anticipated, but I hope y’all like it! As always, feel free to let me know what you think :)

Chapter 1 | Chapter 3

If you had to guess when everything changed, you’d probably say it was the day you helped the twins dye their hair. It was such a mundane thing, but it was so weirdly different than you were used to. They insisted that since they’d be going to a new school where they didn’t know many people it would be helpful for people to tell them apart. There was nothing they, with their competitive natures, hated more than being mistaken for their twin.

You were sat on the counter in their bathroom, Atsumu sitting between your legs as you applied the blonde hair dye to his head. The three of you had been at this for hours; the time it took to bleach their hair enough to prepare it for the dye had felt like an eternity. Their mom had helped with that part, insisting that if her boys were going to dye their hair she wasn’t going to let them mess it up.

“Stop squirming,” you mumbled to Atsumu, trying to focus on making sure you were getting everything evenly coated.

“’S boring just sitting here,” he complained, and you raised an eyebrow.

“Would you rather do this yourself?”

He stiffened up for a moment before letting his shoulders slump. You couldn’t see his face, but you assumed from the way Osamu snickered that he was pouting. “No. Sorry.”

“Good, now shut up,” you sighed.

Silence settled over the room and you felt your cheeks starting to heat up as you looked down at Atsumu. He seemed like he was dozing off with the way his shoulders rose and fell rhythmically with his breaths.

“Done,” you finally announced. You looked over at your phone and pressed play on the YouTube tutorial you three had found on how to dye hair at home. You were about to be first-year high school students, after all, you didn’t really have any clue what you were doing. “We’ll check it in a bit and see if we need to touch it up, I guess,” you finally added.

Atsumu let out a soft hum of acknowledgement and got up to switch spots with his twin.

As you got Osamu’s color ready you couldn’t help but glance over at Atsumu who was closing his eyes again. The sight made something erupt inside you, and you tried to push it away as you turned your attention to his brother.

“Okay,” you said and cleared your throat, “I think this color should be easier.”

You didn’t know what had come over you, but you continued to steal glances at Atsumu, and the butterflies that had swarmed in your stomach fluttered their wings every time your gaze landed on his content face.

The beginning of your first year of high school was when things really started going downhill. Well, downhill for you at least.

For the twins, everything was going up.

They were on the volleyball team for a powerhouse school, they were improving every day, and they were starting to get even more attention than normal. They were getting attention for their talent, of course, but they were also getting female attention. A lot of it.

A frown had settled on your lips as you stepped out of your classroom and into the hallway. You were supposed to meet the twins for lunch, something you’d done for years, so today shouldn’t have been any different.

But it was.

A crowd had formed in the hallway, and you already knew what it was for by the way the girls squealed their names. Your best friends’ names. You pushed your way through the crowd, finally making your way to your friends and tugging on the back of Osamu’s blazer when you reached him. “’Samu,” you breathed, and the twins turned to look at you. “’Tsumu,” you added, quickly looking away. “Uh, lunch?”

Osamu nodded immediately, and Atsumu had a small bit of decency to give the crowd of girls an apologetic smile as they returned to your classroom with you to eat lunch.

You could practically feel the dozens of pairs of eyes glaring daggers into your back, and a cold sweat rose on the back of your neck.

The routine was the same nearly every day, but you started to grow tired of the way some girls would go out of their way to pull on your hair or your clothes or attempt to trip you as you made your way through the crowd.

So one day, you didn’t.

You stayed at your desk when everyone was excused for lunch, and you silently pulled your bento out. You could hear the excited squeals coming from the hallway and you grimaced. It nearly made you lose your appetite. But you tried to ignore it, even though you were getting more and more discouraged with each passing minute that you ate alone.

“Hey,” Atsumu said, catching up to you as you exited the school at the end of the day to walk home. You were doing that more and more often recently since the twins always had practice after school, and sometimes you considered joining a club yourself so that you would be able to walk home with them again. He was already in his practice clothes, evidence that he’d run from the gym just to catch you before you left.

You looked up and gave him a small smile. “Hey. Don’t you have practice?”

“Why didn’t ya come get us to eat lunch today?” he asked with a frown, ignoring your question.

Your eyebrows raised in surprise. You hadn’t thought he cared. Besides, if they wanted to eat lunch with you, they could have just come to your classroom. “I just thought you’d come by if you wanted to eat together,” you explained. “But I get it, it’s kinda hard to ignore all that attention you two are getting, huh?” you laughed, giving him a bright grin in an attempt to hide the way you were feeling inside.

He frowned. “Yer kinda like our way of getting outa there,” he admitted with a sheepish smile, hand coming up to rub the back of his neck. “It’s hard to say no to them otherwise.”

You scoffed. “I doubt that I’m really your ticket out. They don’t really like me, anyway.”

His eyebrows knitted together. “Whadda ya mean?”

“’Tsumu,” you sighed with a roll of your eyes. “You’ve got a group of fan girls and every day I come and take you away from them. I’d go as far as to say they hate me.”

Atsumu let out a soft “Tch,” and crossed his arms. “Well who cares what they think? Yer our best friend. I only care about what you think.”

“Mmm,” you hummed, tugging on the strap of your backpack. You looked away from him, eyes settling on a tree at the front of the school that was swaying in the afternoon breeze. “Well, I don’t particularly enjoy having to push through that crowd every day, so why don’t you just practice telling them no? You’re gonna have to deal with this for three years, you know.”

He opened his mouth to respond, but he was interrupted before he could get any words out.

“Atsumu,” Suna called, sticking his head out of the doors of the gym. “Coach says to get inside so we can start practice or he’ll have you run laps.”

Atsumu sighed, shoulders slumping. “I’ll see you later.”

You nodded and started to take a few steps away from him. “If you want to eat lunch with me tomorrow, come find me. I don’t think I’ll like eating alone for three years,” you teased, trying not to let on how much it actually bothered you.

He rolled his eyes and gave you a smirk that made your stomach flutter. “As if we’ll have fan girls for three years. It’ll blow over by the end of the season, just watch.”

But it didn’t blow over. In fact, it only got worse.

And Atsumu didn’t come sit with you at lunch every day.

Osamu almost always did—you couldn’t separate him from his food if you tried—but Atsumu skipped most days.

“I think he just likes the attention,” Osamu had said one day through a mouthful of rice.

You shrugged, chopsticks pushing around the food in your bento. “I can’t really blame him,” you sighed, cheek resting on your free hand. “I just wish he’d at least tell us.”

Osamu rolled his eyes. “Ya know that isn’t like him. Hasn’t been for three years.”

“I know,” you groaned, leaning back in your chair and letting your head fall back in frustration. “I just miss him, y’know?”

“Gross,” Osamu laughed before shoveling more rice into his mouth. “Why would ya want ta spend more time with him?”

“I hope you aren’t talking about me,” Suna said as he sunk into the seat beside you.

You looked up and gave him a smile, shaking your head. “Never, I actually like you,” you laughed.

You’d become close with Suna over the last three years. It was only natural that you did, since he was in your year and the twins’ best friend on the team. He was a welcome addition to your trio.

The corner of Suna’s mouth quirked up as he got out his lunch. “Then who are you talking about?”

“Who d’ya think?” Osamu quipped with his mouth full, prompting you to reach over and flick his forehead.

“For how much you like food, you’d think you would appreciate it more and not talk with your mouth full,” you scolded, crossing your arms and muttering a quiet, “trashy,” under your breath.

“Don’t call me that!”

“Then don’t act like it!”

“Jeez, and here I was thinking I’d get a break from the Miya twins’ famous bickering. I forget you’re just as bad as them, Y/N,” Suna groaned.

“Oh, shut it, Suna,” you grumbled, shoving a piece of broccoli in your mouth.

He chuckled and looked at you with an amused glint in his eyes. “Someone’s grumpy.”

“’S ‘cause she wants ‘Tsumu to have lunch with us,” Osamu explained.

You huffed. “Is it so wrong of me to want to eat lunch with one of my best friends? This is like, two weeks in a row he’s ditched us in favor of those dumb girls,” you whined.

Suna hummed in understanding. “I think I heard one of them ask him out when I was walking here,” he said, but you didn’t even have the energy to act surprised.

“And he accepted, no?” you asked, though you were already certain you knew the answer.

“Mhm. I think that’s like the third date this week. I don’t know how he keeps up with everything.”

Suna was right. It was his third date that week. But the thing that made it even more frustrating was that you were supposed to study with the twins after school, and that meant he was bailing. Again. It was happening more and more recently.

“He doesn’t,” Osamu laughed, before going on to say exactly what you were thinking. “He never studies anymore. He’ll be lucky if he graduates.”

At first you hadn’t been concerned with him cancelling plans a couple times. Even with all the attention he got, he still hung out with you, still ate lunch with you, so it felt like you were still friends. But now you went more days not hanging out with him than you ever had. It was like he’d turned eighteen and thought that meant he could focus only on volleyball and girls, as if he didn’t have to graduate high school too.

And it fucking sucked. You were too many years too deep into your crush on him, there was no way you were going to say anything now. With the way he was treating you recently it felt like that would be the thing that would push the two of you apart for good.

All you wanted to do was keep whatever semblance of a friendship the two of you had intact, even if that meant suffering on the sidelines.

Unbeknownst to you, Suna and Osamu shared a knowing glance while you went back to pushing your food around.

“It’s whatever. I get it. I mean, why wouldn’t you want to bask in all that glory?” you sighed before sitting up straight and looking back and forth between your two friends. “I really don’t care.”

What a big fat lie.

Later that night, you were over at the Miya twins’ house studying for finals, just as planned. And as expected, only you and Osamu sat at the table.

Atsumu was out with that girl—that wasn’t a surprise at all, even though Osamu had reminded him of the study session after lunch—and he’d bailed on you for the third time that week. He told you to just go ahead with it anyway, that you didn’t have to reschedule for him. It made you so angry, especially when it clicked in your head that the only days he was going on dates were the days that you had plans with him.

Was he doing it on purpose?

You were staring at your textbook, but you hadn’t turned the page in at least ten minutes. You couldn’t focus, not when you knew Atsumu was on a date with a girl that wasn’t you. A girl he would pick over you. You shoved the heels of your hands against your eyes and groaned.

“I’m an idiot,” you muttered.

“Mhm,” Osamu hummed dismissively, scribbling something down in his notebook. That response was normal, especially when you were studying and weren’t understanding something, but today it earned him a glare. It took him a few moments to notice you were looking at him, and he recoiled as he met your gaze across the table. “What?”

“You weren’t supposed to agree, dumbass,” you sneered.

He raised an eyebrow. “I always agree with you when ya say that. You’ve never gotten mad,” he pointed out.

“Yeah but I’m obviously sad today, it’s different,” you whined as you dropped your head onto your textbook.

“You’ll do fine. You’ve never gotten a bad grade on an exam you’ve stressed over before,” he sighed, turning his attention back to his notes.

“It’s not about the exam, ‘Samu,” you grumbled into your textbook, the words muffled by the pages.

That piqued his interest. You were never one to get sad; at least, not like this. You didn’t really voice your sadness, even to him, and he was your best friend so that was definitely saying something. You always had a bubbly personality that people were drawn to, and yeah, maybe you were a little more quiet lately, but he figured it was just because of the upcoming finals and graduation. He set his pen down, stretching his arms up and then interlocking his fingers behind his head. Leaning back in his chair, he looked down at you, your face still hidden in your textbook. “What is it then?”

You were silent.

“…Nothing,” you finally mumbled.

“It’s ‘Tsumu, isn’t it?” he asked, tone even and blunt as always.

Your head snapped up, and you could feel your cheeks beginning to tingle with heat as you looked at him with wide eyes. “H-How did you know?”

He smirked and gave you a small shrug. “Well, you’ve obviously been upset he’s bailing on us. But it’s more than that, yeah?” When you just continued to stare at him in shock he sighed. “You’re my best friend. Ya really think I wouldn’t be able to notice the way ya look at him? You’re not subtle,” he teased, making your face flush hotter.

“S-So you’re saying he knows I like him?” Your head was spinning, and you could feel a knot forming in your stomach. If he knew, and he was going out with other girls, what did that mean? Did he just pity you? Did he not think you were good enough? Did he—

Your thoughts got cut off as Osamu waved his hand, nose scrunched up as he shook his head. “Nah, I don’t think so. He’s an actual idiot.”

“Oh,” you breathed, shoulders slumping as your gaze fell back to your textbook. Part of you was relieved that he didn’t know about your feelings for him, but another part of you was pained to know that you still had to hide this secret from him and watch in agony as he took countless other girls on dates.

“Ya should probably tell him,” Osamu said, looking at you in a way you could only equate to a disappointed father looking at his child.

“I think I’m good like this, he doesn’t need to know,” you said meekly, and you could feel the heat in your cheeks rising up to your ears.

Osamu scoffed, pushing his textbook away and leaning his forearms on the table. “Yer not good, Y/N. Yer hurting, and I can tell. And it’s been getting even worse lately. Just because ‘Tsumu can’t see the way ya feel about him doesn’t mean ya should just sit around and feel sorry for yerself. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen?”

You blanched, looking up at him like he was crazy. “I could lose my best friend!” you squeaked, making him give you a fake pout.

“Hey!”

“You know what I mean,” you hissed, covering your face with your hands. “He doesn’t need to know,” you repeated.

“Who doesn’t need to know what?”

You froze at the sound of Atsumu’s voice and the front door closing. You waited, knowing he was removing his shoes and dropping his keys in the tray by the door before making his way to the dining room where you were sitting with his brother.

“Are we gossiping?” Atsumu smirked as he sat at the end of the table, putting his hands behind his head in the way Osamu had done just minutes before. However, this time, your heart fluttered. Your gaze fixated on the way his muscles flexed beneath the button up shirt he was wearing, the way his hair fell in front of his eyes, the way—

You were staring, but Osamu interjected before either of you could say anything.

“Where’s your date?”

You sent him a thankful glance, shrinking back in your chair and pulling the hood of your sweatshirt over your head. Atsumu was to your side, so if you positioned the hood just right then he wouldn’t be able to see the distraught look on your face.

Atsumu rolled his eyes. “I dropped her off at her place. Wasn’t into it. She wouldn’t stop talking during the movie and she kept clinging ta my arm everywhere we went, and it was just—” he shook his head, a look of disgust on his face, “—not good.”

You hummed quietly, wanting to acknowledge you were listening without paying much attention to the way Atsumu talked about his date. You hated him for it. The way he would go out with whatever girl flung herself at him, even just once, without even getting to know her first. You hated the way he gave every girl a chance except for you.

Sure, you had never tried to make it obvious to him that you liked him, but surely if he had any kind of interest in you then he would have given you a chance.

Right?

“How’s studying?” Atsumu changed the subject again, and you were relieved he hadn’t circled back to his earlier question.

“Fine,” Osamu mumbled, but you were quickly gathering up your things.

You shoved them in your bag and stood up. “I’m gonna go home.” It was an announcement, but your voice was small. You didn’t even look either of them in the eyes.

Atsumu looked up at you, and you could see a hint of sadness in his honey brown irises. “But I thought ya were staying over,” he protested with a pout.

You quickly looked away from him. You both knew that he could easily get you to do whatever he wanted with a sweet lilt to his voice and a flash of some puppy dog eyes—you weren’t going to let that happen.

You cleared your throat and tugged your bag onto your shoulder. “Yeah, well… I forgot extra clothes,” you lied, and you tried to hide the grimace at the fact that they could probably both easily see through it.

“Ah, that’s no problem. I can give ya some of mine,” Atsumu said with a smile, but you shook your head. Even if you were telling the truth, that would have been so much worse than sleeping in your own clothes.

“I said I’m going home, Atsumu,” you said sharply.

He blinked, recoiling slightly in shock. You never called him that. It was always ‘Tsumu, and sometimes TsumTsum when you wanted something from him, but never Atsumu. It was only Atsumu when you were actually angry with him, which was rare.

What had he done to make you angry?

He stood from the table and looked down at you with a frown. “At least let me walk ya home then.”

“No.” You tried to be forceful, but your voice came out weak. “I think you’ve walked enough girls home for the night. Please just leave me alone.” You pushed past him, shoulder knocking against his bicep as you tried to squeeze around him in the small space.

He grabbed your arm to stop you, but he couldn’t find the words to say when you looked up at him. There was a kind of pain he could sense behind your eyes, and it made him frown deeper. Why weren’t you talking to him? He’d never seen you like this; you’d always confided in him when something was bothering you.

You pulled your arm away when he didn’t say anything, not missing the pitiful look Osamu gave you as you left the house, mumbling a quiet, “I’ll see you later, guys,” your voice trembling.

You dug your headphones out of your bag from where they were buried under the clothes that you had, in fact, brought with you. You put them on and turned your music up, hoping the noise would distract you from the thoughts swirling around in your head. It helped, but it didn’t stop the tears from sliding down your cheeks subconsciously, nor did it do anything to block out the sound of your own sobs when everything hit you at once.

You were never going to be what he wanted.

You were never going to be enough for him.

He went out on countless dates with girls he knew he didn’t even like. Osamu always insisted it was just because he needed the ego boost, but he wouldn’t even spare you a second glance in the way he did them.

To you, all that meant was that you were worse than them.

Worse than the girls Atsumu didn’t even like from the start.

And even worse than the girls he did.

How in the world would you ever compete with that?

“What’s up with her?” Atsumu asked, hands on his hips as he watched the front door close.

“Maybe you’d know if ya started acting like her friend again,” Osamu quipped, gaze settling back on his textbook.

“What’s that supposed ta mean?” Atsumu snapped, glaring at his twin. “I’m here, aren’t I?”

Osamu scoffed, not taking his eyes off his notes. “Ya really are an idiot.”

“The hell are ya trying to say?” Atsumu growled, anger bubbling in his veins.

The gray-haired twin looked at his brother, eyebrow raised, unamused. As—almost—always, he was calm in the face of his brother’s anger. “This is the sixth time ya’ve cancelled on her in two weeks. Why wouldn’t she be upset?”

Atsumu sneered, crossing his arms. “Well what kind of friend is she if she can’t be happy for me going on dates? There’s nothing wrong with what I’m doing!”

Osamu stood, the chair clattering and falling over behind him. It was scary sometimes, the way his face was so stoic while fire burned behind his eyes. “That’s such a load of shit, ‘Tsumu, and ya know it. What kind of friend are you to cancel on her for girls ya don’t give a fuck about?” he seethed.

“I wouldn’t go out with them if I didn’t give a fuck!”

“Right. So ya just don’t give a fuck about Y/N.”

Atsumu froze. Was that really what you thought? He didn’t think there had been any issue. You’d never voiced any concern to him, so how was he supposed to know you were upset with him?

How was he supposed to know when you were growing quieter and more distant? How was he supposed to know when you were smiling less around him? How was he supposed to know when he was seemingly blind to the way you felt about him, his gaze landing on what felt like every girl other than you?

But he did know.

He knew all too well, and all he wanted to do was run away from it.

I can open a tag list for this if people are interested! Just send me an ask :)

vro0m’s rewatch - 66/288

2010 Italian GP

Recap + GIFs!

The end of the season is fast approaching.

The world motorsport council has decided that there would be no further sanctions after what is now called the race fixing scandal aka giving team orders so Alonso won the German GP instead of Massa.

You know what. There's been 4 scandals so far. One (Mosley's s*dom*sochist n*zi pr*stitutes) has very little to do with F1 per se. The three others (the McLaren-Ferrari spying scandal, Crashgate, and now the race fixing) all weirdly include Alonso. Just saying.

Quali report : Glock was blocked by Petrov, he's last. Schumacher got into Q2 but no further, he's 12th. For the first time of the season, there's no Redbulls on the front row! Webber had issues, he's 4th. The McLarens have different strategies, Jenson chose to use the F-duct (the piece of engineering I talked about in the first recap of the season that made the McLarens faster and was attacked by the other teams and then copied. Basically the driver could operate it on straights to reduce downforce by stalling the rear wing. It was then forbidden because 1. The rules do prohibit "driver induced aerodynamics" 2. Some teams' designs required drivers to take a hand off the wheel to activate it which was deemed too dangerous. It was later replaced by... You guessed it : the DRS). Lewis chose not to use his for some reason (I don’t know if it changed the weight of the car or whatever I don’t really see how that could’ve been the case, it’s not like you can take off the F-duct. No idea what his rationale was.). Anyway, Jenson is 2nd and Lewis is 5th... He's not happy about his decision, he says it was the wrong choice (yeah no shit). Alonso is on pole. Massa is 3rd. Seb is 6th.

Lewis talks about Nick who plays a lot of F1 video games. He says Adrian sutil also plays a lot and that he even puts on his racing gloves and boots to do so lmao.

Heikki, Sutil, Nick and himself play online together. And now Jake, Lewis and Nick, online from the UK, are gonna race together on the Monza track. Nick has won three rounds of the British championship. Jake asks Lewis how he feels about the fact that Nick has decided to race in a Redbull car. He jokingly says he's disappointed "I thought he wanted to be my teammate". Nick laughs. Jake says Lewis will be happy to learn he's decided to be "Fernando Alonso", Lewis says yeah he is happy about that. Jake continues : "So all I'll be worrying about for the whole race is where you are and what you're up to". Lmao. 

They start by practice. Lewis pushed Nick off the track lol. Jake is in the lead but Lewis hits him from behind. He's having fun lol. Then Jake and Nick collide.

Lewis drinks tea in-between sessions and tells Jake that yes, it’s part of his playing routine. Jake asks if it raises memories of Monza in the last couple of years for him. Lewis says he doesn't remember what happened last year. We cut to images of him crashing, then back to Lewis who says "Oh, yes I do!" and he chuckles.

It's the race! Lewis says "Peace on the journey, man" and Nick says "Yeah you won't have any peace." Nick is on pole, Jake is second and Lewis is third. Lewis gets the lead but he's off. They're driving dirty! Nick is back in the lead and Lewis overtakes Jake. We get a nice little comparison of Lewis on the real track VS. Lewis in the game. Lewis cut a chicane! Nick spun! He says "Oooh you're an idiot!" and Lewis answers "What happened to you?". "You're such a cheat it's unreal!", he answers. Lewis smiles : "Nick! Stop crying man get back on the track" and he chuckles.

Lewis wins! But he admits he cheated, he cut the chicane "which we always do when we race to catch each other up if one's fallen behind (Nick laughs) cause he's so bleeding quick" he says of Nick. "And I was with him, and unfortunately he broke under the pressure and crashed. That's the truth." (Nick is laughing his ass off.) Jake asks : “So do you have any sense of achievement, having cut the chicane to catch him?” Lewis chuckles again : "I feel great!"

Formation lap

And they're racing! (for real this time)

Jenson takes the lead! Massa and Alonso are wheel to wheel, Lewis is just behind them. NO! CONTACT WITH MASSA ! IT BROKE SOMETHING FOR SURE. HE'S OUT. HE'S IN THE GRAVEL. LEWIS IS DNF.

In the last race recap I was wondering how he lost the WDC that season. I guess that's how.

15 laps later, no change then. The Ferraris are still close to Button.

On lap 30, we’re told Yamamoto left the pit box while the "radio guy was still fiddling with something inside the car". Ted Kravitz tells us "he's okay though a bit battered and bruised, he never lost consciousness" and the doctors are there to check on him. There's really so many injured mechanics each year at the time, it breaks my heart.

Lewis talks to Lee. He says he doesn't remember much of how it happened to be honest, he says the mistake was his. He looks very down, his voice is shaking a bit, he's clearly emotional.

He says these things happen when you race to the limit but thankfully Jenson is up there ahead of the Ferraris and seems to be doing a great job, so at least he'll score good points for the team. Lee says it was a tight battle, if he was in this situation again, would he do anything differently? He says he probably would still be racing right now, “maybe”. It’s tough.

On lap 37, Jenson finally pits from the lead. He's out in 3rd. The Ferraris stay out for one more lap. Alonso pits the next lap indeed. Jenson is ahead! No, Alonso got ahead! Massa leads but he'll pit, he does so the next lap and he's 3rd. Jenson has lost the win.

On the final lap, Seb pits from 4th in a critical stop to stay ahead of his teammate who's in 6th, and he makes it!

It's the end of the race!

Alonso wins, Button P2, massa P3.

Jenson congratulates Alonso, it means a lot to win in Monza in your first season with Ferrari, but he has a sad smile.

[eryiss]

okay here we go lmao kfkkf so no. 1 or no. 18? this could go either way tbh, theyre somewhere or on their way home and one of them playfully says this but at home it really gets steamy-

Prompt: ‘Don’t Make Me Take You Home And Punish You.’  Prompt List here

Pairing: Fraxus

Raiting: Explicit N S F W

Read it Elswhere: AO3, Fanfiction

“Don’t Make Me Take You Home.”

“Do what you wish,” Freed chuckled, a little darkly. “But don’t make me take you home and punish you.”

Laxus looked towards Freed to see that he was smirking. The blonde had been playfully taunting his lover about a small jealous streak that had arisen when a woman had begun to flirt with Laxus, and Freed had been playing along with Laxus’ joke in good grace. But, after Laxus claimed all he needed to do was take off his shirt in the hot summer sun to drive Freed wild with jealousy, Freed had decided to turn the tabled on him with his threat.

The blonde didn’t seem affected by the threat, though. He stopped in the middle of the street with a raised eyebrow, watching as Freed paused and turned to him. When Freed frowned in confusion, Laxus slowly, teasingly began to pull his shirt over his head, revealing his strong, tanned chest and stomach. He tucked it into his belt, muscles intentionally rippling as he did so.

“Do your worst,” Laxus taunted, crossing his arms and flexing his biceps.

“Oh, you have my word I will make your life hell the moment we get home,” Freed threatened, voice a chillingly erotic growl.

This was going to be so good.

Neither man spoke as they walked the rest of the way home, though Laxus made sure to flex whenever Freed so much as glanced towards him; if he was going to be punished by his lover, he might as well get his kicks in before he it begun.

When they got to their shared home, Laxus felt himself buzzing with nervous anticipation. Freed’s demeanour had changed slightly after he closed the door, standing slightly taller than normal and with a controlled smirk on his face. Despite the teasing he had done on the walk home, Laxus knew he needed to do as he was told from this point on. They had played with dom and sub roles before, and from his short time under Freed’s control, he knew best when to obey.

“So,” Freed said, voice calm but with an undertone of a threat. “Why exactly did you do that? Did it make you feel powerful, Laxus? Or did you just want attention?”

Freed sat in a large leather chair in their shared study, looking at Laxus with a patronising grin. Laxus didn’t speak, knowing that Freed was still taunting him and that whatever punishment he had would be worse if Laxus interrupted. And, as hot as Freed was when he was in control, he knew exactly how to make Laxus squirm when he wanted to; Laxus wasn’t going to push him too far.

“Because if you do want attention, I can give it to you,” Freed smirked. “In fact, I’m going to give you my undivided attention for the rest of the day. Get a bottle of lube and that black toy I like and come back.”

Laxus did as he was told, going to their bedroom and picking up a large, black, ribbed dildo from a small locked box in the bottom of their wardrobe. He also picked the nearest bottle of lube he had, and walked back into the study, where Freed had closed the curtains and lit candles. He was still sitting in the leather chair, legs spread wide and inviting. He motioned for Laxus to stand in front of him, and the blonde obeyed.

“Given your need for attention and validation, your punishment will be to put on a show,” Freed’s smirk was demonic. “You’re going to fuck yourself with that toy until you cum, and I’m going to watch. You can’t touch your dick, and you can’t hold any moans in. Unless you want to be spanked within an inch of your life.”

Laxus shuddered. He had called Freed’s bluff on that threat once before and regretted it.

“And if I refuse?” Laxus found himself saying before he could think.

“Well, if you require attention from strangers as well as me, I could accommodate that,” Freed grinned. “I’m happy to fuck you over the railing of the balcony, let everyone see you, if you want. But if you want to avoid that, I’d start stripping for me.”

Again, Laxus knew Freed didn’t make threats he wasn’t willing to follow through on.

He slowly moved to start taking off his clothes, sliding his belt through the loops and dropping it to the ground. Freed was watching him unblinking, like an animal stalking his prey, and brought a glass of wine to his lips. Laxus felt incredibly exposed in the judgmental gaze of his lover, knowing that was the intention of his actions.

As he removed his leather pants, his cock lurched to life. Freed smirked, staring at his lovers tenting boxers without shame. It made his cock harder further, and his cheeks flush red with embarrassment.

It was both humiliating and hot as hell. Laxus had never felt like this before.

He pulled his boxers off, now completely naked in front of his full clothed lover. When he looked at Freed’s spread legs, he saw that his lover was as hard as he was and stroking himself over his pants. It made Laxus blush further; there was a complete power difference between them and Laxus found himself filled with lust because of it.

Acting on instincts, Laxus lowered himself to his knees, trying to ignore Freed’s patronising smirk. He popped open the lid of the lube and slowly coated the dildo with it. He stroked it up and down, knowing the size required a lot of lube from past experience.

“That’s enough,” Freed snapped suddenly. “Don’t bore me, Laxus.”

The blonde nodded, looking at the toy for a moment. He decided that, as embarrassing as this was, he wanted to put on a show for Freed. He shifted so he was on all fours, with one hand grasping the lubed up dildo. Then, looking directly at Freed, he started to push it inside of his asshole.

A quivering moan left his lips.

Inch by inch, he took the large toy inside of him. Every bump, ridge and protrusion forced out a moan from the blonde, and the cruel smirk on his watching lover’s face made everything better. There was an energy between them both, an extra edge to all of his actions. His movements, his sounds, his pleasure was being judged. None of this was for himself, it was to atone to Freed. It was a feeling of submission that Laxus found making his cock strain almost painfully.

Once he had taken the toy in its entirety, he began to fuck himself with it. He did his best to maintain eye contact with Freed, though after a particularly hard thrust of the toy and the loud, needy moan that followed, Laxus forced himself to look away.

“Eyes up, Laxus,” Freed commanded.

The blonde did as he was told, pushing the dildo deep inside him again. When he looked up he saw that Freed had removed his cock from his pants and was slowly stroking himself to the sight before him. Laxus’ cheeks were flushed red, his body covered in sweat, and his cock quivering as he got closer to orgasm.

He didn’t know why he found this all so fucking hot. But he did.

He pushed the dildo far down into his ass, managing to push it hard against his prostate, again moaning loudly into the room. He was trying hard not to look away from his lover, who’s eyes were raking over the man’s strong body. It made Laxus feel electric, to know how much Freed was enjoying what he was doing. He was filled with a contradictory sense of humiliation and empowerment.

Freed was using him for his entertainment, true. But the fact it was him Freed was using made Laxus’ weirdly proud. His cock yearned for stimulation.

But he didn’t touch it, as much as he wanted to. The spanking threat was still present.

“Explain to me Laxus, why am I stroking my own cock when I have you on your knees before me with nothing but moans filling your mouth?” Freed smirked.

With wide eyes, Laxus slowly moved his way towards his lover. He didn’t remove the dildo out of his ass – partially because he expected further punishment for it, and partly because the feeling of the toy moving inside of him was incredible – and positioned himself so that his head was between Freed’s legs.

Taking a breath, he slid his mouth over Freed’s cock and took it down his throat. The feeling of both his ass and his mouth filled was unfamiliar, and Laxus couldn’t help but clench his eyes shut. The sensation was overwhelming, incredibly so. Unintentionally, he started to plunge his mouth up and down Freed’s cock in time with him fucking his ass with the toy.

“You’re beautiful like this,” Freed whined, voice strained. “I need to have you like this more often.”

Laxus simply continued to suck his lover’s cock while frigging himself off with the dildo. He didn’t know if he could do this regularly, but damn was he enjoying it right now.

As Laxus began probing Freed’s cock with his tongue, he felt the man’s hips raise up into his mouth, and Laxus gagged around it. He could feel Freed tangling his hands into his hair, and Laxus started to move his lips up and down Freed’s cock faster and faster. Freed started to moan in the chair, digging his nails into Laxus’ scalp.

God this was so good.

Pushing the dildo further and further inside of him, Laxus moaned around Freed’s cock. This seemed to be Freed’s limit, and Laxus felt hot salty cum on his tongue a moment later as Freed came deep inside his mouth. Laxus did his best to swallow it as it came, but Freed kept cumming and cumming.

A moment later, Laxus felt his own orgasm come. It was overwhelmingly powerful, electrifying in a way Laxus hadnt previously experienced, and cum shot from his dick onto their floor, and onto the leather boots that Freed was still wearing.

The orgasm lasted seconds, but it felt like an infinity.

When it was over, Laxus removed his mouth from Freed’s dick and swallowed the rest of his cum. He slowly slid the dildo out of his ass and let it fall to the floor, an exhausted breath leaving him. He hadnt realised just how tiring the whole thing had been, and he remained kneeling on the floor before Freed, catching his breath.

Freed had cupped Laxus’ cheeks, looking at him with tender and kind eyes. A large contrast compared to what he had been a moment ago.

“You were so good,” Freed whispered comfortingly, stroking his cheek with his thumb. “So good.”

“Sorry I… well, your shoes,” Laxus chuckled, blushing at the phrase. “I can clean it up.”

“No, I’ll do it. It’s my fault after all. I devised the punishment, which you more than fulfilled I should add.” Freed chuckled. “I can run you a bath as well and make you some tea so that you can decompress, if you’d like?”

“Sounds nice,” Laxus smiled a little. “You can join me in the bath, if you want. If I’m honest, one of those rub downs you do would be pretty great.”

“Of course,” Freed smiled, pressing his lips against Laxus’ softly. “I didn’t go too far with everything, did I?”

“God no,” Laxus grinned a horny grin. Who could complain about an orgasm that powerful orgasm that rocked him to his core and was followed by soft, personal attention by his lover?

If this was going to be the outcome, Laxus was sure he would be teasing Freed more often.

[spirit-shroud]

i replayed kz again tonight and managed to beat it in 4 hrs instead of 11 !!! which is rly cool imo, i think i got a max of like 50 deaths or less for the full run ??? i was just playing regularly but usin the prism blade for the cool blood effects, not in speedrun mode for the counter, and i managed 2 drag my friend into hyperfixation hell with me :} but also i have some thoughts and opinions im not rly sure how to compile in a meaningful way, so here’s the like. pure brain-down-on-blog post version under the cut. if this gets auto-tagged into the real actual tag for this game im very sorry for my hubris im just. thinking emoji

so id like to start this with the final boss makes me SO sad :( like yeah she doesnt have much dialogue but idk she just makes me so sad. she’s so desperate and she Knows shes going to lose and im just like. no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you’re so cool!!!!!!! Please Be My Friend We Can Work Together. I Know A Guy :c like usually final bosses are like weirdly emotional for me but she was just SO COOL and realizing like WAIT THIS BOSS OPERATES UNDER THE SAME RULES I DO was just like WOW even if as i kept dying (and i think i spent like... 3 hrs on the final boss alone lmao the first time, i killed her on my third attempt this run which was very cool of me) i finally realized that she IS pretty repetitive and got all her patterns n variables down super easy, but like, fighting another null who Should for all intents and purposes be just as absurd and powerful as i am, and eventually being able to down her effortlessly, and then the withdrawal affects of the chronos kicking in as well, and its just like. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

dont even get me STARTED on that ‘to be continued’ like yeah there’s a dlc comin but the game mentions repeatedly that its just the first act which has me like OKAY. SPECULATION TIME (what am i speculating on? literally no idea im not even rly at the speculation phase im still in the WOW COOL VIDEO GAME phase) 

and i rly like the dragon/fifteen but the first time i saw him i was just like. who’s this f*llmetal alchemist looking bitch ??? what’s he doin here?? go HOME and controlling him is AWFUL i hate the dragon tape so MUCH >:C but also he’s like. cool. i want to know more about him n his plot 2 take down Juncture n the government n whatever. 

but also i was listen 2 Full Confession bc it’s just. what the heart wants rn. i need to be sad and caffeinated in order to get into the Writing Zone rn and then i was THINKIN like my friend mentioned while we were playing the dragon tape that the song that plays is very similar to Full Confession (which i had sent him earlier while i was losing my mind over the final boss) and then i was like. Hm. these are very similar but have such wildly different moods -- Breath of the Serpent is much more like. ‘you’re going to be afraid of me’ while Full Confession is like ‘i’m afraid of you’ and i think that the different Vibes from these two soundtrack bits about important Null characters is just like. WOW and i wonder how a version of it that was purely Zero’s might be. would it be more triumphant? more flat? what desperation or emptiness is in there that could be drawn out by this melody??? i dont KNOW and i can’t write music unfortunately but im just like AAAAAAAAAA

i also rly wanna know what snow has going on ??? like. shes clearly important. she is a vital npc. but Why. she didnt even rly do anything except Show Up???

fuck V. all my homies hate V. the motorcycle fight was a lot of fun tho i rly liked that section even if my therapist was mad at me afterwards

also i think elizabeth/the little girl is rly cute and the fact zero was just like. ‘hm. well guess i have a daughter now’ so fast w/ her (at least, with the dialogue trees me n my pal kept going down) and im just. So Hoping we can rescue her in the dlc :( i miss her so much and im so like. worried abt that like pls give me back my daughter you dumbasses i cant even read ur dialogue without my brain being like ‘yeah these r just squiggly lines, boss. gl’ 

i also want to believe that the masked men arent real (bc idk, it’s just easier for me to process that they’re the result of chronos withdrawal) but the problem w/ that is like. they definitely kidnapped elizabeth, and i want so desperately to believe that elizabeth IS real n that zero genuinely wants to protect her (and by extension, the part of himself that is still human) 

ALSO THE PSYCHIATRIST i was just like. Okay. I Must Get A Good Grade In Therapy. n kept being nice n cooperative and helpful to this clown ass and then THAT ENDING ??? like i didnt even get the Bad Therapist Ending i was just like. fucka you! attacka you with a rock! (i do however want to try the therapist boss it sounds like a lot of fun) but i just. i hate him! he sucks! find a better therapist zero u rly need one im sorry for ur problems disorder :( like hes clearly a guy who just works for the government n wants 2 keep a leash on our man 

n the contradictions, hes like. yeah ur killing everyone related to chronos so it can no longer be produced ♥ but dw ur special we totally wont just withhold chronos from you as soon as u finish ur tasks dw about it ♥ and its like. Hm. I Dont Think Thats Right !!!! 

also i wanna learn more about what Juncture has going on??? what are they like. Doing besides poisoning water n making lighters ?????? it’s clearly a lot 

also the art for this game is just so GOOD,,, like. i didnt rly notice a lot of the backgrounds my first playthrough bc i was just losing my mind the whole time trying to solve each puzzle but the second playthrough im just like. AAAAA. and the soundtrack? effervescent. groundbreaking. perfect. So Good 

and the GAMEPLAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my GOD i was SO vibing with it, the difficulty curve was kinda extreme imo but as soon as i started like. Getting It? and started looking at each room less like combat/fighting and more like a puzzle that needed to be solved it made it so much easier 2 get into the headphase of ‘okay how do i clear this’ and it was just like. YOOOOOOOO

and zero is just a lot of fun 2 play as. legitimately everything about him is just so ridiculous. his dialogue options? ridiculous. his design? absurd. the implications that hes like. 22 and just having the worst 10 days of his life? mood, buddy. this guy likes samurai movies and card games and mushroom pizza and has worn the same outfit every single day for who knows how long and hes also a war veteran, an emotionless serial killer and a drug addict. and hes 22 and 5′10. literally NOTHING about those traits make sense together but here he is, just Vibing. 

i love him so much. im going to make a self insert oc that’s just giving him a friend who knows how to cook n is just like ‘oh wow, that’s rough buddy’ when hes like ‘i only feel alive when i kill people’ and conveniently knows how 2 get bloodstains out of things bc i think he needs that kind of person in his life since his like. therapist is conspiring against him n he keeps having 2 kill his friends 

also, unfortunately, i want to get every achievement, which i feel like is going to become hld....2!! where i get all but 1 of them and am stuck at 96% for 2+ years >:T

🕊send in a kpop group & i’ll reply with

the boyz

do i already stan them? yes | only for the music | attempting to | no

my bias + bias wrecker*: i double bias sunwoo and younghoon! and kevin is part of bias line so i feel the need to mention him LMAo

first time i heard of them: im such a post broduce part 1 child haha so i knew of them since predebut bc haknyeon!

when i became a fan: i started getting super interested during ddd era bc i absolutely LOVED the track 

favorite (and least favorite) title track: favorite! ddd and right here u cant make me choose haha; least favorite: boy 

favorite (and least favorite) b-side: favorite! salty soty <333; least favorite: hmmm at least going off the recent album then ego? 

favorite (and least favorite) mv: favorite! right here (im really basic and tend to really like mvs that focus on choreo bc im more musically inclined than i am visually? like i dont pay attention to mvs at ALL so at least choreo ones focus on a visual aspect thats also musical? smth like that); least favorite: no air (for no reason other than the fact that i like saturated colors LMAO which this mv is kinda lacking its not a bad mv idt and the colors they use do make it thematic but if i /had/ to choose then i meannnn i like colors)

favorite (and least favorite) album: favorite: dreamlike <3; least favorite: damn i dont know probably tattoo ep

a concept i wished they’d try*: hmmmmmmmmmm maybe if they did shangri-la as they did on rtk again but with one of their songs itd be super cool ahah 

what i like most about them*: their versatility! i think they were able to really showcase what theyre capable of during rtk and how creative they are when they come together (kevins mIND god how he was able to put that all his thoughts into a stage) really love that!

verivery

do i already stan them? yes | only for the music | attempting to | no

my bias + bias wrecker*: i am yongseung biased for LIFE and no one will even come close! ever! that being said i have feelings for dongheon sometimes its never enough to dethrone yongseung so hes not really a bias wrecker but hes up there for sure maybe in another life where yongseung and dongheon werent in the same group dongheon would have been a bias u know stuff like that

first time i heard of them: ringx3 ! was curious about vixxs younger brother group 

when i became a fan: i became a yongseung stan during from now so i kept up with them on the down low for him it wasnt until tagx3 and yongseung officially became my emotional support kpop boy that i started really started stanning them more as a group? 

favorite (and least favorite) title track: favorite: super special <3 but an official title track then from now; least favorite: (cant decide between lay back and thunder) 

favorite (and least favorite) b-side favorite: love line <3; least favorite: connect 

favorite (and least favorite) mv: favorite! tagx3; least favorite: ringx3 (i am only saying this bc i have still not forgiven jellyfish for the horrendous outfits they gave yongseung during this era)

favorite (and least favorite) album: favorite! veri-able <333; least favorite: veri-chill (only two songs </3 and i do like mystery light as a song but the production of it felt weird to me?? like the vocals are mixed so weirdly i dunno)

a concept i wished they’d try*: hmmmmmm maybe do a horror esque concept again like they did on rtk? that was really cool

what i like most about them*: theyve become home to me <3 i love them so much;;
