okay, I'm pretty annoyed by how they handled the fallout of this plotline with Robby, because the setup/initial conflict for it was... a genuinely really traumatising direction to take things? it would have been just as much for a fully-grown adult as it would for a kid, so this weird half-hearted swerve where there's clearly SOME kind of effort to give it emotional depth makes it all the more irritating when the gaps are papered over with the most generic teenage angst stuff imaginable.

I love the pervert!mark fanfics but… what if pervert!rex? eh? eh?? you see the vision I’m showing???
lowk imagining him unabashedly taking user’s panties or boxers and bringing it up to his nose to sniff aggressively, especially when he’s away from home and he has at least a whole box of user’s underwear. in post lobotomy he would at least ask politely now even if you still dated him despite being an asshole and all
bonus: Rex slowly finds out about scenting so he purposely sprays user’s underwear with his own cologne so you’ll perfectly smell like him once he goes down there for a meal <3
Tumblr media
a/n: omg ofc i would love to... tbh i haven't actually watched much of invincible so i will do it before the lobotomy. actually anon you're a literally genius i was talking about this w one of my friends but more of for mark but rex is totally it as well. he's an asshole but he wants you. wait lowk i wasn't sure if you wanted it to be est. relationship but i thought it would be super juicy if there wasn't! cuz u know then it's supppper perverted.
MDNI- pervert reader, pervert rex.... panty stealing, m masturbation, (no est. relationship, he's literally just a freak.) PinV unprotected (wrap it before you tap it kids) , oral (m! recieving and f!) assertive r! and rex
wc: 4.2k. (freaky)
what it involves: rex is your roommate, one that you just couldn't get along with no matter what you tried. it was annoying cuz you liked him. finally you've had enough, and you decide you're going to try to find him with one of your panties, but it's a bit more than what you've bargained for.
a/n: sorry anon this too soooo long to write idk why.
Tumblr media
rex is an asshole. there's no doubt about it.
in some ways, he's one of the worst roommates you've ever had. he's loud, obnoxious, and he almost always is playing some dumbass meme music that you can definitely hear from your room.
you're always knocking at his door, trying to get him to turn the music down so you can get some shut eye before some exam or something else that's quite important, but he tends to ignore you.
sometimes, if he's in a good mood, he'll tell you that he'll do it, and he'll switch it off for awhile. key word, awhile.
he may be an asshole, but he's a good looking asshole. and that pisses you off to no end whatsoever, because what do you mean, you literally need him so bad you can't function properly when he stretches at the breakfast table.
what do you mean, you hate how thin the walls are in your house because you can hear him fucking some other girl, and god she sounds like she's enjoying it a bit too much....
and sometimes, he can be nice. if he knows you've had a bad day and you can't deal with him at all, he won't play his music, and he'll cook dinner or buy take out for the two of you.
he'll make sure to clean up, and when you protest, he'll go, "well, i'm the best anyway, so just remember that."
but the main thing that pisses you off about rex, is that he gets all up in your personal space. he's always barging into your room, not even knocking before he does it.
he plays his music too loud behind closed doors, but the music can still be heard outside.
but what you don't know, is that behind that closed door, he's fisting his cock to the thought of you.
he plays his music so you can't hear him groaning your name as he thinks about fucking you on your couch, having you sit on his lap reverse cowgirl as he spreads your bottom lips open to watch where you're connected to him.
his favourite is when you wear his favourite black little lingerie that he gets to rip off of you with his teeth alone, before you scream his name out when he sheaths himself into you.
as your roommate, rex manages to get a lot of spank material about you, just living around you and watching you live your life out.
one time, when you were both in the kitchen together, he watched you reach up the cupboard, your shortest sleep shorts moving upwards to give him a glance of your tight panties hugging your cunt, mound obvious even from where he's sitting.
he came to that so many times he's lost count, and that night alone he masturbated until he passed out.
rex hates how he's obsessed.
he hates how the first thing he does when he gets home from being out all day is sniff the air of the house, seeing if he can still catch your sweet, sweet perfume in the air, despite that you've been out for the last five hours.
and when he knows you've just showered and have gone to your room, he hates how he basically sprints to your shared bathroom, thanking whatever gods that gave him this tiny ass house he shares with you that has one bathroom, and that you keep your laundry in the basket there.
he hates how he feels just the slightest bit of guilt when he fishes through the laundry basket looking for the freshest pair of underwear that he knows you just wore, the ones where he can smell you fresh and sweet, and he hates how his cock twitches so painfully in his pants.
and god, does rex hate how he doesn't even last more than 20 pumps of his hands when your panties are pressed so close to his nose he might die of asphyxiation, but he knows it'd be a happy death.
with each passing day of his dirty, dirty habits, rex gets more depraved and addicted.
he starts bt not bothering to wash your panties once he's done with them, just leaving the panties back in your laundry basket, covered in his cum.
he doesn't try to hide the fact that he's started to keep your underwear, no longer returning it back to the laundry basket, tucking it into his own drawers to keep for himself as keepsakes of his obsession of you, and your smell.
you ask him if he's seen your favourite pair of panties, as you tell him that your underwear has started to disappear more often, and he shrugs, saying that it's probably just the washing machine eating them all up. they usually turn up weeks later, and your favourite red panties have disappeared a total of 5 times in the last 5 weeks!
he's suspicious and you know it, but the idea of rex, oh so arrogant rex, on his knees for your used panties? it sends a hot burst of...something into your stomach, and you can feel your panties getting damper, not that you'd admit it!
rex is getting braver, you can tell. it's now just a matter of catching him in the act.
he's started to sneak into the bathroom when you're showering, with the spare key that you don't know exists, and he steals the dirty underwear that you've left on the floor to throw into the laundry, and with the dirty underwear pressed to his nose, he uses the clean ones to get himself off, wrapping them around his cock, thinking about you putting them on without a clue.
he cums in those panties, leaving them on the sink for you to wear, just waiting for you to put them on so you can smell like him, and when he does this again tomorrow, you'll already smell like him. that thought sends a devious grin across his face.
when you come out of the shower after that, you can feel your panties are a bit heavier than before, but you put them on anyway, and you immediately feel the wet spot from his cum, because the thought excites you more than you could possibly explain.
sometimes, he doesn't even use them for his own pleasure immediately. he takes his cologne, and sprays the wet spot right where your entrance will be, thinking about how your entrance will smell just like him. the thought, hours later, gets him shooting his load all over his desk, where he was staring at up skirt picture of you he'd managed to sneak.
you finally catch him in the act one day.
you'd been planning this for weeks, slowly building up the courage to finally confront him and get what you want from him.
you've been telling him for weeks about a made up conference that you'd have, telling him that you'd be out for most of the day, reminding him through small things such as saying "don't bring anyone over when i'm gone, i don't want them going through my things" and "don't let anyone trash my shit."
and so you get ready. you wear your red underwear that you know he loves, and you leave the house. you plan to come back four hours or so before you tell him you'll be back, to see if you can catch him in the act.
when you get home, the house is a bit quiet. you open the door as quietly as possible for you, taking your shoes off and setting them by the door as quiet as possible.
you walk slowly, and with purpose, setting your coat up on the hanger, and you walk towards his room.
as you near his room, you can hear some grunting, and the wet sound of skin on skin.
you can hear the low murmur of words, but can't quite make out what's being said.
as you near the sounds, you can make out what's being said.
he's grunting out your name, saying; "god, you really want this, don't you. you love smelling like me. you're such-hngh- a dirty girl, wearing your panties with my cum on them"
"god-" he whimpers, rex actually whimpers, "i bet you taste so good, fuck-" and you can hear the desperation in his voice.
but soon, you realise, the sound isn't coming from his room, it's coming from yours.
rex is in your room, fucking his fist to the thought of your pussy clamped around his dick, squeezing him like a vice.
based on the sounds of his voice alone, he sounds like he's close, and you decide this is the best time to interrupt, thinking about the look on his face alone is getting you wet as hell, walls fluttering around nothing.
you push your door open slightly, and you see rex. he's lying on your bed, his sweatpants pulled down to his thighs. you see his cock strained and flushed a dark colour, and god, his thick tip is gorgeous. you can't wait to sink down on it, feeling it bully against your cervix.
his eyes are screwed shut, and your panties are pressed against his nose with one hand, the other one gripped so tightly around his dick it looks like it might just actually hurt.
he has his eyes shut so tightly, and the wet sounds of his cum 'shlick, shlick' sound across the room.
the sight is gorgeous, and you can't help but appreciate the view in front of you.
rex's abs are flexing under the dim light from your lamp, sweat is beading on his chest. but the real show, the real show is his dick. it's bigger than you imagined, and you can feel the drool collecting in your mouth from the way you're salivating for its weight against your tongue.
you want to taste the precum beading at his pretty flushed tip, but all in due time. he needs to pay for stealing your underwear, making you go commando around the house, feeling sticky in your shorts when you're near him.
he doesn't notice the dip of his bed when you sit down quietly, and only opens his eyes when he hears your breath hitch. your face is pretty and flushed, lips wet and breaths shallow.
"you having fun without me?" you ask, and you cringe slightly, but it's too late now, it's already out of your mouth.
he stops immediately, yanks your panties off of his nose and throws them across the room, as if you haven't seen them already.
his hands drop from his cock, resting on his thighs as he stares at you, open mouthed.
it elicits a response from you, the arrogant rex quiet under your gaze? goddamn, you could get used to this.
"oh no, don't stop on my account. you really seemed to be enjoying yourself." you essentially purr out, getting excited.
rex can only stay quiet as you look at him, a dirty grin on your face, now.
"need a hand?" you ask him, seeing how he just sits there open mouthed.
you watch his adam's apple bob as he swallows, and he nods.
oh god, you're gonna cum untouched in your shorts like some teenage boy.
you shift forward, moving towards him. his hands move from his thighs, not entirely sure where to rest.
you move them gently out of the way, and you sit on your knees, looking down at the view in front of you.
his tip is flushed a light purple-red, and you think he's hard enough that it actually might hurt.
the underside of his dick has a couple of veins that are rather prominent, and you remind yourself that you're going to want to lick them as best as you can when you finally get your mouth on his dick.
your hands wrap around his cock, and he hisses from the sensation, already being so sensitive. you can immediately feel how hefty and big he is.
you struggle to wrap your hand around him, and the thought of this entering you later is exciting to you.
you let go for a moment, and rex is disappointed from the lack of warmth, and just as he's about to interrupt and complain, you spit in your palm, making eye contact with him as you use the spit in your palm to lube him up.
you hear the wet shlick from both his precum and your spit, and rex throws his head back, eyes shut as he fists your hair.
you lean forward, tentatively licking his slit, and he groans gutterly, "fuck- you can't- " and you grin in you kiss against his slit, kitten licking the precum that's spilling over like a faucet, refusing to waste a drop.
and without warning, you wrap your lips around him, taking him inch by inch.
he really thinks he might bust any moment now, and he needs to fight it. he can feel his abs tightening up again, and you can hear him almost...whimpering?
"god, you feel so goddamn good. you were keeping this hot mouth from me? god baby, you're taking me so well."
the compliments are really going straight to your cunt, and your panties are slightly uncomfortable with how much they're sticking to your mound.
you deepthroat him in one go, choking slightly on his length as you feel his tip bump against the back of your throat.
using your other hand, your hand is splayed across his bare thighs, squeezing the muscle as you try to bob your head up and down, before rex uses his hand to push you down all the way.
using the underside of your tongue, you fondle his veins, and you can almost feel the way he throbs on your tongue, dangerously close to cumming down the back of your throat. the idea is delicious to him, but he doesn't feel right doing that on the first time.
suddenly, rex doesn't seem so submissive anymore, and he pulls you off of him.
when you're using the back of your hand to wipe the saliva away from your mouth, you look up at him questioningly, and rex feels his dick twitch again, just from seeing you underneath him.
"not yet, sweetheart. in due time." he grumbles, pulling you up from the underside of your arm, before pushing you gently onto the bed.
he hovers over you, his arms on either side of your head with his elbows pressed against the mattress of your bed.
and then he kisses you.
rex literally kisses you. it's quick and urgent, and he presses his tongue so roughly against yours your teeth clash together.
it's painful but god you're melting into him.
rex is done holding back. he's gonna take what he wants, after struggling all this time to contain it.
as he kisses you so deep you can feel saliva dripping down the corner of your mouth, he's grinding his raw dick against your clothed cunt. the rough stimulation of your clothes against his dick hurts in a good way, but he wants more, he needs more. he needs you now.
he breaks the kiss, stomach clenching, dick twitching when he notices the string of saliva connecting you two, and he looks at you for permission, his fingers hooked into the waistband of your pants.
you nod, and he yanks them off so hard he moves you down. you laugh, and he immediately clocks in on your underwear, shoving his face in between your thighs, nose bumping against your clit.
your laugh breaks off into a moan, and you can feel him sniff as much as he can.
"god, you smell just like me...fuck, baby, all this for me?" he says to you when he pulls back, grinning up at you.
you can see the slick from your panties slightly brushed across his nose, and you flush, which makes him groan more.
you nod, "all for you, rex."
he grins against your mound, his nose nudging against your clit.
suddenly, his mouth closes around your covered clit, and he sucks harshly, leaving you to let out a mewl.
your hand clasps over your mouth, and you're embarrassed of the sounds that you made, so loud and wanton.
"na, baby, i wanna hear you. can you do that f'me?" he mumbles against your clit, as he pulls your hand away from you mouth, fingers interlocking with yours.
his words against your clit vibrates through you, and you can feel yourself pulse around nothing, completely desperate for him, for his dick.
"rex, please. i wan' you." you mumble, your face flushed and sweaty already.
rex grins arrogantly again, and he nods in compliance. he pulls your panties down, discarding them somewhere across the room, forgotten until later.
he groans at being greeted with the site of your cunt, and rex's mouth drops open.
"oh baby, you're so pretty...you're dripping wet for me, honey." he groans, before he leans in to take a sniff, like the pervert he is.
"rex!" you squeal, pushing his head away from between your thighs with your hands.
rex tuts, "none of that, sweets. this is all mine now, you don't get to keep her away from me." his voice is deep, drizzling like honey.
and without another word, he shoves his face into your cunt.
he spits onto your cunt, drawing back to watch the way it drips between your legs, falling between your ass cheeks.
he groans, rutting his hard-on into your bed, leaking so much he thinks he's about to explode.
he dives right back in like a man starved, flicking his tongue against your clit fast and rushed, and you think, you think you can feel him spelling out his own name; 'r', 'e', 'x'. marking your cunt as his.
you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
"fuck!" you squeal, when he finally pushes his tongue through that first barrier of tight muscle, squealing his name again when he contracts his tongue, causing your tight hole to stretch.
the stretch catches you off guard, but it feels so good, you can't stop thinking about how good his dick will feel in comparison.
"you like that, baby? can't wait to have you splitting apart on my cock." he tells you, before he breaks away from your lower lips, yet another string of saliva breaking between you two.
he grins at the mess in front of him, the flush on your face, and the pool between your thighs.
he finally pushes his fingers into you and you gasp, the intrusion making you throw your head back, clenching down on rex's fingers.
"god, you're so tight. 's all for me?" he asks, smiling down at you.
he starts pumping his fingers in and out, the speed increasing slowly but gradually, and it's almost too much, just because it's him.
he manages to find your soft spongey spot so quickly, making sure he hits it every time. he adds a third finger, stretching you out slowly, to ensure that you can fit him later on.
"all fo' you rex. only for you." you're babbling now, feeling your approaching climax.
rex feels it too, with the way your walls spasm around his fingers.
"you gonna cum, baby?" he asks you, smug written all over his face.
"yeah, yeah i'm gonna-"
with the coaxing of his words, your walls clamp around his fingers like a vice, rex swears, and he pushes his thumb onto your clit, pushing you over the edge.
you feel it wash over you, your thighs clamping shut tightly around rex's hands, which he pries open. your legs twitch, and rex helps you ride through your high.
there's tears in your eyes, from the violent high rex just pushed you through.
you're babbling now, begging for his cock.
"rex- please, i wan' it." you babble, cunt aching for his dick stretching you out, making you cum.
"say it louder, use your words. what is it that you want, baby?" rex asks, cocky as he waits for you to beg for his cock.
"i want your cock in me, please rex, please." you look so sweet underneath him, tears in your eyes and your shirt pushed up to your chest, tits spilling out of your bra.
he leans forward, popping a tit out of your bra, and latches onto your nipple, sucking your nipple hard into his mouth, his teeth grazing over your nipple.
"ah!" you whimper, hand flying into his hair, tangling in his long locks. at some point, rex's hair had come loose, his long hair down now.
rex grins again, against the fat mound of your tit, using his other hand to grope your other one, rolling the nipple between his index finger and thumb.
"aw, well i gotta give my sweet girl what she wants, right? i'm gonna give you my dick until the only thing you can think about is the feeling of my cock buried inside you, stretching you, claiming you, owning you."
with that, rex slowly pushes in the mushroom tip of his cock through the first row of muscles of your tight cunt, into your clasping heat in one smooth stroke. He lets out a guttural moan as your walls flutter and clench around him, trying to adjust to his size.
rex thinks he might cum from this alone, with how wet and tight you are, your insides gripping onto him.
you can feel the veins on the underside of his dick, grind against your walls, the feeling dragging a wanton moan out of
"Fuck, you're so goddamn tight" rex grits out, fingers gripping into the fat globes of your ass, as he slams into you in one go, groaning as his cock head hits your cervix.
"fuck me, please!" you scream, the cervix bumping causing your legs to tighten around his waist, nails raking into his back.
it hurts a little for rex, but the look of pleasure scrunched into your face is totally worth it. and he can't wait to see the marks tomorrow morning, marking him as yours.
He hooks his hands under your knees, pushing them up and back towards your chest to expose more of your dripping sex to his relentless thrusts. The new angle allows him to go even deeper, to hit that special spot inside you that has you arching off the bed with a sharp cry.
"Fuck, right there!" rex snarls in satisfaction, feeling your pussy clench and flutter around him. "That's your sweet spot, isn't it? The spot that makes you fucking drench my cock in your juices. I'm going to ruin it, baby. I'm going to ruin it for anyone else." his obsessive side peaking through. rex knows he's never going to let you go after this, even if you try to run away. nothing will make him let you go.
rex's dirty talk is just making you clench tighter around him, and you can begin to feel rex's dick twitching in your cunt. you throw your head back as you moan, eyes closed.
rex leans down to capture one of your nipples between his teeth, biting down just shy of pain before soothing the sting with his tongue. He laves the sensitive bud with long, slow licks and suckles, coaxing it to stiffen even further.
He snakes a hand down between your sweat-slicked bodies, his fingers finding your swollen clit and rubbing tight, rapid circles into the sensitive nub. rex feels you teetering on the edge, your body tensing, breath coming in short, sharp gasps.
all the while, rex never stops with his unrelenting pace of fucking you with his dick, his balls slapping against your skin, hips bruising against your ass. you're gonna be bruised all over, especially where he's been biting you and gripping you tight.
"cum, baby, cum on my cock." rex demands, and that finally pushes you over the edge, spasming around rex's dick. you feel him follow right after, groaning as he drops his head against yours, slowing his unrelenting pace.
With a final, brutal thrust, rex buries himself to the hilt inside your spasming cunt as you orgasm. He grinds against your cervix, his cock pulsing and throbbing as he starts to erupt, painting your insides with thick ropes of his hot, sticky seed.
he collapses against you, trying to catch his breath.
he pulls his half-hard cock out, and you let out a whine from the loss of pressure and warmth inside you.
rex tuts as he watches his cum leak out of your pussy.
he pushes his seed back into your abused cunt with his fingers, tutting about "such a waste", before scooping down and collecting your underwear off the floor.
he pulls your ruined underwear back on for you, letting his cum collect on the panties instead, his spend keeping your abused cunt warm, completely ruining your panties once and for all.
you groan, something about feeling gross, but he grins at you, already thinking of next time, and how he wants you to smell just like him.
but it's totally worth it for him, because when you go shower later that day, he steals them again, using them to get off with the wet splotch from both your cum and his. he sniffs them, eyes rolling back into his head as he groans, cumming just from the memory alone of your walls fluttering around his dick, before he's even touched himself.

The future awaits
bringing up the future while you're together
characters: Riddle, Leona, Azul, Kalim
Format: Headcanons
warnings: None that i can think off
Tumblr media
Riddle
-You'd probably bring it up while drinking tea together
-He'd go quiet for a moment, deep in thought
-He is so caught up in making sure everybody follows the rules and studying, that he never really had the time to think about it
-He'd be very serious about it 
-He wants to marry you in the future, that's for sure 
-Probably wants a kid or two
-Honestly wants a very typical future, a house, a stable job, ect.
-I'm not really sure what Job he would want/have. Maybe he'd take after his mother and become a doctor, or maybe something to do with politics. I could also see him as a judge, due to his ability to memorise rules, or in this case laws, and his tendency to punish rulebreakers accordingly
-i feel like he wouldn't have preference about wether you work or not
-ALSO, If you are the one to bring up kids and marriage, especially if you start describing it in detail (Like your dream wedding, or what your kids could look like) he'd grow very flustered, very quickly
-Poor guy still isn't used to affection, even if you two have been in a relationship for quite a while already 
-all in all, he'd take the question very seriously. He wants a typical, almost stereotypical, future
Leona
-You'd probably bring it up while he uses you as a pillow cuddling
-He'd scoff 
-"Why are you worrying about that now??" or something along those lines.
- He most likely brushes you off in favor of sleeping
-or at least, that's what he'd tell you
-the question might actually keep him up a bit longer, he's seriously thinking about it
-In his dreams, of course, he'd be king and you'd be his consort, as you rule over the land together, admired by all. But that will sadly remain just a dream, and he knows it
-Instead he opts for wanting a quiet live, where the two of you can just laze around all day, everyday 
-He probably doesn't want to live too close to his brother and sister-in-law, either on the opposite side of the palace, or in some sort of estate a bit further away (idk how moving out as royalty works tbh)
-I don't think he would want kids, too much work
-all in all, a quiet life where the two of you won't be bothered
Azul
-Immediately flustered, no matter how long you have already been dating
-I don't think he'll ever get used to affection
-another one that gets really serious, but this one is really flustered while he talks 
-He'll definetly will want to continue the mostro lounge buisness, just outside of school. Maybe one day take over his mothers buisness too, so she can retire.
-He won't even realise it, but he might just start talking about your wedding, about wether you'll get married on land or in the sea, ect..
-tease him about it, and he'll put Riddle's hair to shame
-tbh he wouldn't want much to change from now, he wants to be with you, keep running a successful business, and stay close with the twins
Kalim
-Immediately gets excited 
-If you're on the magic carpet, you'd have to hold onto him so neither of you fall off-
-Immediately starts rambling about all the things he wants to do with you in the future 
-He wants a VERY big wedding, like the type that continues over multiple days, he just  really wants to spoil you and show the whole world how much he loves you
-He most likely wants a big family, the man has like 40 siblings, he wouldn't be used to anything else
-He's already planning hundreds of party's you two will could hold in the future!!
-He probably won't shut up for a good few hours. Good luck
-You'd have a very annoyed Jamil the next day, because after you brought it up, he would not shut up about wedding plans and stuff. Jamil had to force him to sleep.
-He'd be even clingier than normally after this 
Tumblr media
First time writing and posting headcanons, kinda nervous-
Feedback is welcomed, just be nice please!! hope you enjoyed and have a nice day :)

hi pearl!!! i come requesting more aot crumbs.. pretty pretty please... 🙏🙏
i fear there is a nerdmin epidemic going on in my mind currently. may i humbly ask for general dating hcs + modern au nerd armin arlert my one and only babygirl? as per usual, i'm not picky regarding the rest. thank u sm in advance!! <3
Nerd Armin x Gn reader, modern au!
“𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕠 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕞𝕖 𝕔𝕣𝕪, 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕘𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕞𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕔𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕖𝕪𝕖𝕤.”
•Armin would be such a sweet and shy boyfriend! But beware, he has a sassy side. You’ll definitely see it whenever he’s annoyed or frustrated. It’s always a treat! He has the funniest and most creative insults.
•He is definitely a gifted kid, maybe a bit burnt out tbh. He knows a lot of random facts about the strangest things! And loves sharing the little details he knows.
•Probably an art, history, or computer science major. He’s always tired, and never turns his assignments on time. But still has an A somehow??
•He is TERRIFIED of spiders. Don’t ask me why I think this, I just feel it.
•Very shy and awkward at times. You definitely made the first move! You know that trope “you fell first, he fell harder?” That’s accurate here!
•BIGGEST YAPPER. He has a new hyper fixation? You’re gonna know about it! (probably against your will) 
•Whenever he finds a new show, movie, or game he loves, he genuinely won’t shut up about it. You think it’s cute, and you love how invested he gets into things! Especially how happy it makes him.
•But you kinda wish he would get the hint and notice that he’s talking a bit too much. But he doesn’t, and he’ll keep talking your ear off till he gets bored or you fall asleep.
Now more romantic headcanons!
•His ideal date is a lovely museum then picnic outing. Especially art and history museums, they’re his favorite!
•Kinda innocent, he doesn’t want to do anything 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂. Literally kiss his cheek and he’ll blush SO hard. 
•He loves cuddles! Definitely a little spoon, fight me on that. It makes him so happy when you sit next to him while he plays a game on his phone or a console. 
•Multiplayer games are a must! Even if he crashes out because of it sometimes, it’s so fun for him. He really enjoys sharing his hobbies with you.

Nobody asked but here is why I LOVE mineta.
1. He is squishable
2. He is perfect for stuffing in a locker (Not only is he the right size, but he canonically has A's in all of his classes, and he's a loser with little-to-no friends, and he's sexist.) This makes him the perfect character to stuff in a locker. I don't know why, but that just makes me love him even more. Maybe I'm just Bakugou and I enjoy bullying him like Deku in middle school. This sounds sarcastic but it's a compliment I swear. Like, genuinely, I love character's that are annoying/assholish rather than "good" because I find them more interesting. Mineta's personality reminds me a lot of Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle. Has anyone ever seen that show? I think "The Bully" is a good episode for comparison (Malcolm does not treat women as badly. I'm just saying they're both smart assholes, practical to the point of coming off as downers, and lack social skills. I would shove them both in lockers---affectionately)
3. Short king
4. Despite all the shitty things he does, he looks up to the other heroes. Especially Deku who was also bullied but became the best hero. He wants to get better and be like him. There's potential for a good arc here.
5. I just think he's funny. I don't like the groping jokes personally but his other lines are hilarious. I especially like when he tries to get women but fails due to his own incompetence.
6. His design is fuckin awesome. He's got a metal diaper. A METAL DIAPER.
7. He sincerely cares about his friends/classmates. He's one of the few people who was nice to Deku early on because he also knew how it felt to be bullied, and I really like that touch.
8. gooner NEET with shockingly good grades representation
9. His quirk is OP for being a superhero, but he's terrible at using it. This makes him interesting to me because I feel like it's the opposite of Bakugou. Bakugou's quirk would be objectively terrible as a superhero. It's highly destructive and civilians are likely to get hurt. Plus it can't be used on stealth missions. However, Bakugou is such a competent person that he has managed to find good ways to use it anyway. He proves anyone can be a hero no matter what their quirk is. Mineta, on the other hand, has a quirk that would be great at trapping villains without killing them, giving him extra mobility, stealth, rescues, fighting, etc. But he never realizes his full potential because he's a coward. It's like Hori was saying "Just because you have all the right stuff, doesn't mean you know how to use it effectively." And I think that message is just... really deep/cool? It hits pretty close to home for me tbh. Just cause some people are good at art does not mean they would succeed at an art career. In a way, seeing characters that are "disappointing" in fantasy settings is very therapeutic for me?
10. On that last note: even though he's bad at using his quirk, he still wants to be a hero. He knows he'll never be number #1, and he's satisfied with that. He could rank #1000 and be happy. He never stops trying even though he knows he'll never be as good as his classmates. It takes a lot of maturity to be satisfied with mediocrity, and that's something we rarely ever see in kid's shows.
ngl most of the reasons I love him are the same reasons other people hate him. Different strokes for different folks ig.
He may be a pathetic piece of shit. But he is MY pathetic piece of shit

Warning: These are just my thoughts (rant). If you disagree or don’t like it, please scroll past this post instead of engaging. Thanks.
After rewatching Naruto Part 1, I realized how mid this manga/anime actually is, and how Kakashi, who used to be my favorite character as a teenager, is just bland and has zero charisma.
I think the only reason he's popular is because of his look and the Sharingan. He seemed promising at first (a dark cool sensei), but he never evolved beyond his first intro: no goal, no ambition, no personality. Just a mop of a man who wastes his time looking miserable at the grave of his “friend” and reading sketchy books in public. (tbh, I don’t even think he’s really grieving Obito, more like mourning his own ego, since the so-called “loser” saved him and gave him the power that made him “elite.” That would explain his cringe guilt, because otherwise it makes zero sense, he wasn’t even close to him).
As someone who lost a parent and has seen firsthand how toxic work environments can deeply affect a person's mental health, I really DESPISE how Kakashi turned on his own dad as a kid. He chose to side with a system that literally pushed his father to end his own life, instead of demanding justice. (That’s a terrible narrative choice (very badly written character). And no, age doesn’t excuse it, especially if he was close to his father.) Even as an adult, he doesn’t seem to care. (Do we ever even see him at Sakumo’s grave in the manga? I'm not sure.) Instead, he stays loyal to a corrupt system to the point of being willing to kill his former favorite student, all while knowing well why Sasuke acted the way he did.
His whole mantra “those who abandon their friends are worse than scum” is pure hypocrisy. He repeats Obito’s words like some holy scripture, but he clearly doesn’t understand them.
Because if he did, he’d have left Konoha, or at least tried to reform the corrupt system that sacrificed people like his father, his friends, and Sasuke's family.
And Kakashi should’ve never become Hokage. He doesn’t have the mindset for leadership. He’s weak, lacks dynamism, and boring.
And I’m not even gonna start on how he disgustingly tried to manipulate Sasuke by using Sakura as emotional bait… His dialogue in that scene was straight-up ripped from one of those generic Facebook life quotes boomers post. I cringed so hard reading it. It’s easily the worst-written line he’s ever had in the manga, it even dethroned his lecture to Sasuke about revenge, which used to be #1 on the cringe scale.
Honestly, like most fans, I think I actually liked my version of Kakashi instead of the canon one (annoying, passive, purposeless. Even his voice irritates me). I’m nostalgic for his connection with Sasuke… I just wish he’d been smart enough to show some real concern and understanding.
Kabuto should’ve ended him during the Suna/Orochimaru invasion. He served his purpose after teaching Sasuke the Chidori. After that, he was just useless. But because of his popularity, and since Naruto is more about fanservice than actual narrative consistency, he stuck around, being useless as always.

bts of these photos Aemond: ElvenDen Helaena by me
I know that gifs look weirdly cropped, that's because no one was looking how vids were recording, and it's a miracle some bts are salvageble at least as far as heads go. even without the necks. :c
still cute tho. and not-so-cute, the 2nd one will forever be whoa in gif or photo form for me.
My cosplay tags:
Photos, gifs, videos from costests/cos shoots/cons
Inprogresses (costumes, 3d printing etc)
since it's my blog and I can talk at length about anything, here's a story of how I came to ship Helaemond TL;DR: fanarts and actors. & my anti S2 / Condal & Hess musings again. Wasn't planning on venting, but TG treatment still makes me so mad that I can't do one without the other.
Okay so my friend kept telling me her friend looks a lot like Aemond. I've met him once before this costest at the elven photo planner & he really does, but I still wasn't fully prepared for how uncanny it will be in costest. 😹 It's uncanny to be point it's CRAZY especially as up close as in the gifs above. Y'all are not ready for the full cosplay.
ANYWAY. So I sort of started thinking who among HotD characters I could try putting together for a costest for this to make sense. Alicent was out of the question since I don't look like her at all, and with me tending to look younger than I am, it would have looked even weirder than in the show. Eventually, I was choosing between Hel and Alys. I didn't ship Helaemond at the time, and we had no stills of Alys back then, so Hel seemed like an easier choice, plus I had my Dany wig.
And then I realized people actually shipped them, and at first I was like, 'huh'? Since they barely had any scenes and whatnot. Not that the greens had a lot of scenes together even back then. I wasn't particularly in the fandom, too thank god, I wish I could unsee some TB's hot takes. ANYWAY. I genuinely wasn't planning for this costest to be shipping galore at first, because I didn't know this was even a thing. Then I started looking up the fanarts and started to see the appeal. xD No joke, it legit happened when I was looking for references in a span of a few days. Then I saw how Ewan and Phia were hyping them up for S2 and talking about them in S1, and I was fully on board... Only for S2 to turn out to be so underwelming and character assassinating for all the greens blacks too, I really liked Rhaenyra in S1 and it's insane how much of a nothing sandwich she is after S2. By the time we shot the costest right before S2 finale, I had so little hope we'll get anything. Or more like. I knew we still haven't seen the scenes Phia and Ewan were talking about, so I knew we were getting something, just probably something that will simultaneously shit on Aemond and the ship since TG can't have nice things or feel anything but disdain for one another per S2 aside from Alicent and Hel because they aren't male therefore can be nice to each other. And at that point, I was so invested that I'm in my delulu land now, surrounded by my plans to do Helaemond justice in the best way I can. With maybe some side plans to try gathering the whole TG to ya know. Annoy people who hate them even more. xD Jokes aside, I'd really love to do that, I'd love to at least shoot Targtower kids as, you know, not hating each other. Shippery or not, doesn't matter. I'd just really like to do some wholesome green things, but yeah atm we're just Hel, Aemond & Alicent, and tbh I don't think it's possible to find an Aegon over here. I tried reaching out to my friend in another city, but got more of a 'no', than 'yes' answer, so idk where to find Aegon unfortunately.
I might eventually do Alys since my face works for both Hel and Alys & I can pull off one hell of a bitchface I'm actually surprised how I somehow come off so soft as Hel, but I have a feeling the show will make her TB she practically already is, and since Aemond is the eViLeSt person to ever evil in Westeros per Condal & Hess aka the only character making sense amids ongoing war with magic medieval nukes ffs, and doesn't deserve good things... I don't see a universe in which Alysmond will be really inspiring, not fucked up from the get go. I don't trust them. At all. So like. Giant question mark there. Helaemond priority. Fuck this show. Like if I had the resources to, I'd honestly shoot a bunch of scenes, not just photos. Hell, I'd reshoot S2, TB included, lol. But my ass is broke and I'm doing both mine and Aemond's cosplays so. 🤷🏼‍♀️
'Cause not that they haven't fucked up Helaemond… Or Alicent's relationships with her sons... Every single relationship of the greens went down the drain so fast it's like. The. Fuck? No, seriously, it still enrages me Hel helped Daemon of all people?? And seemed to almost wish Aemond would just drop dead right there. ANYHOW yeah… Yeah. I legit have so many ideas. I love using props and all that, and with her needlework, love for bugs & her overall tragic story (plus the dreamer storyline on the show the show doesn't touch like AT ALL), I want to do so much!
TL;DR again: the fandom made me do it. Just like the fandom made me dislike TB a lot. Or more like, the loudest TB stans with double standarts and zero understanding of how Westeros and people in it should function. And that it's not real world and no one is 'coded' anything related to our world or politics (or at least they shouldn't be no matter how much Condal & Hess try to push contemporary problems into the show to pat themselves on the back).
I realize there are dubious people on both sides of the fandom, but really not even Condal & Hess can make people like or dislike characters as much as their stans can. Oh also, WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE EVEN SIDES. They literally pitted the fandom against each other, it's so sick and twisted and all sorts of fucked up.
Back to Condal & Hess, them trying to sink TG so much made me sympathize even with those on it I didn't care about at first, like Criston, and simultaniosly dislike the Saint-RhaeRhae side and it's vicious vocal part of the fanbase... I even liked Daemyra in S1, but after S2 I don't want to touch anything or anyone related to her with a ten-foot pole. Even tho I still like some characters on TB, they just ruined everyone. To some extent on both sides, but for TG I sort of want to do things in support of them and in spite of Condal & Hess. Thereas for TB... After S1 I was thinking of cosplaying Rhae, but LMAO NO. Just no.
Tagged this with all the anti tags I mention, so don't come at me, I don't have time, and do have a block list. You can argue with the wall or those who want to argue. If you can't disagree with someone & be civil about it, it's not my problem.

"Earth doesn't have to forgive Lunar"
Blah blah blah
Then just screw laes maybe? Huh?
I liked the episode where Lunar and Earth cleared things between each other ^^
Lunar seems so much more mature than at the beginning of the show..
He was able to look within himself and he also was able to realize why exactly he did wrong..
I was angry at Earth at first because she shouldn't be so upset at Lunar for not telling her anything.. like Earth he probably didn't talk to you or anyone because of his issues and he didn't even realize that it was that bad.. like he even said so..
Sometimes people won't take our helping hand.. but you don't have to make it look like they're such an issue for even not realizing that they need help..
Earth annoys me with how she's apparently the only one who tries in this family.. apparently.. and how she can't even comprehend that others don't have to want help that's one.. and two that maybe like Lunar they don't even realize it's that bad.. that they're issues are that bad.. and also what annoys me about Earth is that she expects others to be flawless.. like yeah she knows no one is perfect.. but how she acts says otherwise..
But it's understandable because she was Creator's golden child so she was raised spoiled..
My anger was short though cause it went away when Earth started talking about how she misses playing with kids.. this is something that Earth has every right to be angry at Lunar.. and not that Lunar doesn't have an insight about how bad his issues are..
I feel for Earth.. I know how much it sucks to be not able to do things that you could do before.. for me it's been over a decade.. but for Earth it was not so long ago so it hurts more..
I hope that eventually things will get better between Earth and Lunar..
I enjoy laes and while Kat is no longer writing for it I still don't want to see it end so soon..
And by that I mean that I don't want any changes.. I don't want Earth and Monty show or Lunar and idk who show..
I want Lunar and Earth show..
Hopefully things between the two won't be too akward or forced like during Christmas party..
I'm glad that Lunar was there.. because while Earth's feelings matter so does Lunar's..
He's still a part of family..
And tbh this situation is bizarre.. wish Lunar could start working on himself to be less self-centered but in different way.. a way that doesn't include hurting your own sister for life..
I think that's not fair to Lunar.. especially cause he wasn't making his depression and star power stuff everyone's problem..
He just kept things to himself.. he wasn't even lashing out like Eclipse or Moon on most of occacions.. he was rightfully upset at Nexus for babying him and hiding things from him..
It the Lunar lashed out at Earth yes.. but if it wasn't for NSP things wouldn't be that bad.. cause at the end of the day who has never lashed out in their life?
I really wish that Earth realize that everyone have their struggles and shortcomings.. and it doesn't make anyone bad..
I want Earth to forgive Lunar because he doesn't deserve that.. he tries his best.. he very quickly started working on himself because he loves his family.. he doesn't want to lose it..
I understand Earth's conflicted feelings though.. I also feel bad whenever someone will hurt me and I feel angry at them.. like I want to be angry but at the same time I feel bad about it.. even now I'm trying to move on from what happened last year..
Earth is allowed to not forgive Lunar.. but personally, like yeah it's probably because of my personal beliefs and worldview, I can't imagine Earth and Lunar's relationship to be okay if Earth won't forgive Lunar..
I think that forgivness is important.. even if at least to one's healing..
But that's how I view life.. and I know that others view it differently..
Maybe it's all a part of the big plot where Earth realizes how she's affected by how Creator raised her..
I'm trying to be positive ^^
I like these shows ^^ They're well written most of the time or at least to me 👉👈
I find some decisions to be frustrating but mostly at first because then I often like how things go later..
And I realized that I'm mostly frustrated at fans takes xbxbbxbxbxbxnbxbbxbx
I have to work on ignoring it cause this isn't healthy and also fandoms are always the most annoying part in anything xD

Oikawa and Grit
Disclaimer: 
1. My first language is not English!!! 
2. I am just yapping and putting my random thoughts. 
3. Sum post-timeskip spoiler. 
Haikyuu!! from time to time it reminds me of the super close words and the meaning of it; such as hard work, genius and talent.  Plenty of times, from when we were just a children, those words are often spouted by a bunch of adults who most of the time doesn't really know the true meaning of those words, more specifically to the term "genius" and "talented"  (I am just being stupid here I know but like...). Things like "Oh!! You are so smarttt!!", "You are so talented in [...]", etc. Those kind of words are often given to the children to encourage them so that they could keep improving and better obviously, most of the time they meant well but in the long run, especially after being hit by the harshness and coldness of reality and adulting, that "smart", "genius", and "talented" kid will sometimes crash and fall. This is because they themselves believe their self-worth only stems from that and when their so-called "talent" diminish, even though that's not the case. 
There comes Oikawa, who is introduced as this cocky character. Tbh when I was young and just starting to watch/read Haikyuu, I just thought of him as annoying. Now that I'm older, I feel like I understand his character a lot more, and also after seeing his conclusion in the manga, I have come to admire and love him a lot. 
Oikawa is often misunderstood by a lot of fans. Maybe he comes across as cocky and immature just like what I thought of him before. Despite all of that, that "cockiness" of him is just merely a facade to hide his insecurity. I don't know when his insecurity starts to grow, however from my observation, probably around when Ushiwaka kept beating his ass off and it just grew stronger when Kageyama joined the volleyball club in middle school. 
Oikawa's insecurity probably stems from how he thought of himself as 'ordinary'. Not a 'monster', not a 'genius', not 'talented', not 'naturally gifted'. Words we often hear from many people in real life too. Those with more ‘talent’ will obviously be the one who gets the best starts. The one who will ‘succeed’ accordingly. That simple word sometimes cursed people, both to the given and not given. To the person receiving that word, most of the time, they already thought of themselves as amazing but also serve as a ceiling or the limit. Meaning that they THINK they couldn’t grow even more, they have already reached their limit. For the person that doesn't receive that word, they will think of themselves as simply not talented. They will be different and probably could never reach the same height as the ‘gifted’ one. They too think that they have reached the limit of themselves. 
Oikawa probably wants to fight that curse the most. That’s why he always worked the hardest, sometimes even got injuries from it. All simply because he wants to break free from the curse of ‘ordinary’ and ‘gifted’. That’s why his insecurity started to grow even stronger after Ushiwaka and Kageyama showed up. Because he THINKS despite it all, he will never be like them after all. He will never catch up to them. 
Everyone is born with innate skill. It’s just that someone has it more than the others. You can always work hard, but what about people that’s already born with more innate skill and work hard too? They will get better too of course. As Udai Tenma said, “life is both fair and unfair at the same time”.
Oikawa could just give up. I think at one point, he really wants to. Simply because it is hard to do so. In real life too, it’s easy to just give it all up and blame it on talent. However, he didn’t. Even when talking to Jose Blance who obviously saw through his lies of doubting himself. In his mind, there is still a tiny space on it that believed there is still more on him. Jose Blanco just gave him the push he needed. 
Oikawa's greatest asset is his grit (so is Hinata, that’s why I think the two of them are similar, heck even Oikawa thinks of Hinata just like himself that’s why he probably helped him when they met in Brazil). I mean, all of Haikyuu's character has that grit, but if I were to describe Oikawa with one word, it's grit. It's just that his grit finally makes his talent awakened and bloomed when combined with self-acceptance and forgiveness to himself. Something he lacked back when he was still young.
Falling in love with something is easy, but staying in love with it is hard. Oikawa keep staying in love with volleyball, despite it all, and even remembering the reason why he fell in love with volleyball once more when he met Hinata. You need a compass to guide you. Grit is just like a compass (according to Angela Duckworth, i read her book it’s great so far). Something that keep us looking up and not giving up, even when our hard work can't be reaped. It is super easy to just blame everything on miracle or divine as Nietzsche said, because to blame it on 'divine', 'talent', or 'genius' means we do not have to compete. We don't have to compare ourselves to them.
Oikawa Tooru is not a genius. That statement is true. If you look at him, he is 'ordinary'. However, his excellence also come from everything about him that is 'ordinary'. All of his 'ordinary' combined and finally become 'extraordinary'. Oikawa’s grit, often said by him as his petty pride, led him to Argentina and heck even naturalized himself as the citizen there, to break free from a curse named ‘talent’. And he did it brilliantly.
I believe he will rule the court from wherever he is. Go rule the court, Grand King.

Hey again, since you've once again brought up the idea of Hank and fatherhood, thought I'd try again to bring up his romantic history ( first comes love then comes marriage, Yada Yada and all that)
For a guy so down on himself and his appearance his got a pretty good dating history, and that's not even counting the people he's been teased with that the writers haven't pulled the trigger with yet
* cough*wonderman* cough*
How do you think Hanks romantic history in comics reflects on him as a romantic partner, both good and bad?
It's not my fault Hank's got such dad energy that people want to talk about how good of a father he'd make all the time. ;)
So, I think that Hank's romantic history is. Interesting. Because there's the surface level perception of Hank, and then there's the actuality of Hank as a romantic partner.
The surface level is largely dictated by the only non-comics source that ever bothered to give him a romance (no, I emphatically do not count the Mystique bullshit from the movies), which was the 90s animated series and the continuation of that theme in '97 this year.
Yep, it's time to talk about Carly Crocker!
Tumblr media
Now, Carly is a completely original creation for the 90s show, and she doesn't quite fit any of the archetypes of Hank's other notable comics paramours, so I'd hazard a guess that they just kinda freestyled it here because, well, Hank's other romantic partners up to this point (Vera Cantor and Trish Tilby) wouldn't have fit the interracial romance/literal Beauty and the Beast angle that this episode is going for.
Carly's cute! I like her dynamic with Hank. They're very soft and tender with one another - she's not what I'd call frightfully complex, but she's a good woman with a nice dynamic that tugs at the heart strings a little, and especially given that the original 90s cartoon was aimed at kids, I feel like this is the right level of romantic interest to give a similarly relatively un-complex version of Beast.
Neither of them have any real negative qualities because if they did, well, it would detract from the tragedy of their denied romance and the unfairness of it all. It's very clear that the makers of the show want you to come away from this thinking that it's complete bullshit that Hank and Carly can't be together because other people are so small minded, and that would be muddied if Carly was, idk, kinda rude, or if we more faithfully transcribed some of Hank's neuroses to screen. So instead, it's very idealised.
Tumblr media
This is where a lot of people get their idea of what Beast is like. He is a perfect saint who literally cures the blind on his time off from being a superhero, and his paramour is an angelic blind woman who is completely free from prejudice or rough edges. I think it's fine for what the show is going for, but it's not quite accurate to what Hank and his romantic history is like - to the point where I've seen some people (usually Redditors) say, UGHHHH, Beast was never the saint you think he was in the 90s cartoon, he's ALWAYS been morally grey, you fools! The fun blue uncle never existed in the comics!
And it's like, my guy. Yeah, the 90s show embellished a little bit, but this is not a million miles away from who Hank is. He's simplified, but Hank was absolutely a fun blue uncle jokester with a heart of gold for most of his existence. Maybe it wasn't exactly who he was in the comics, but neither is he what certain later writers think he is.
But. I digress.
We do, of course, have the '97 romance to consider, but we'll get to that, because that's a lot to unpack . . .
Comics!
Vera Cantor!
Tumblr media
Ugh.
So, like . . . teenage Hank is just obnoxious. I don't enjoy him, tbh. He occasionally has good lines, but I'm basically just sitting around flicking his annoying head like
Tumblr media
But in this instance, the 'do something' is turn blue. He's so much less obnoxious and annoying when he's blue . . .
Even filtering out the 60s misogyny, which isn't a particularly interesting flaw to try and give Hank, he's just not a great romantic partner because he's too stuffy and bookish. He's inattentive to Vera's needs and it really does read like he's only here because, well, it's something to do and Bobby needs a wingman. Vera states that she likes Hank because he's refined, which I suppose is true enough, but that's not enough to build anything more than a flirtation out of, tbh.
He's just. Not ready yet, for a fulfilling romance. The stuffiness and the blowhard vocabulary are all a smokescreen for a lot of insecurity, and that's just not someone who's ready to have a relationship.
Then again, when has that ever stopped a teenager?
They survive for longer than they should have done, honestly, given that Hank and Bobby are literally ALWAYS being called away to do X-Men things, which naturally puts a damper on dates, and they're on decent enough terms when she shows up again in Amazing Adventures, needing his help in dealing with Mimic's whole deal in Incredible Hulk.
It's a comic book romance (derogatory). It is what it is. Not really all that complex, not a lot to write home about.
Where it gets interesting is when J.M. DeMatteis enters the picture.
Tumblr media
There's something very . . . performative, about Hank's romance with Vera, under DeMatteis. And I don't say that analytically, I mean that completely, utterly literally.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silence. Uncertainty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Guys, if I have to tell you that this is a bad foundation for a relationship, then I'm worried for you and your significant others. You can't be with someone because they're safe. That's part of a good reason to be with someone, but if you look at someone, and the best you can think of when you look at them is, you remind me of when my personal life was a little less scary because it was being dictated by a stern Professor Xavier, that's. Probably a sign???
It's also not great that Vera hasn't discovered feminist literature yet, so she keeps falling for being lovebombed because Hank is a bad boyfriend.
Tumblr media
And this scene is just a big fuckin' WOOF.
Tumblr media
Kid? Is that . . . really how you want to talk to your girlfriend, Hank?
Like . . . in the end, this is not the worst relationship in the world. Hank, when he's around, is charming. He's a good man. He writes good poetry, he'll take you dancing, he's handsome, he's great in bed, and he's a goddamn superhero. He is a fundamentally good man.
But.
He is inconsistent. He is prone to making decisions without consulting you. He is prone to showboating and revelling in attention from his fans because he has self-esteem issues. And, in the end? He's just not that into you, Vera. The base problem is still kind of the same - he's immature. He hasn't grown up yet. He's working on it! He's showing some self-awareness! But it's gonna be a bit before he's really good for anything beyond a fling.
Thankfully, Vera grew up and out of it quickly. Good for her!
Tumblr media
The fact that they're still friendly means Hank didn't completely fuck this one up. I think both of them realise they had a lot of growing up to do, and I think that's the kind of sin you forgive people for a lot more when they're actually working on it, which Hank did.
Now, let's compare and contrast . . . with Jennifer Nyles.
I fucking love Jen.
Tumblr media
Introduced in 1991's Marvel Presents as a flashback character who was Hank's first proper girlfriend (there's a character called Mindy that appears to have been a less serious relationship before Jen), Jennifer is a clever clogs like Hank, and even more feisty.
Hank remarks multiple times that if it hadn't been for his choice to join the X-Men, he likely would have stayed with Jen for the rest of his life, and I can see it. In a world where Hank didn't go with the X-Men, he lives a quiet, happy life with Jen in Illinois. Maybe he wins a Nobel Prize for biophysics. They have kids. They're good.
But, instead, Xavier wipes her mind of Hank's existence, and it shifts her entire world's axis - she commits her genius to the task of working out what the gap in his mind is, and becomes an expert in the field of techno-organic cybernetics.
As you do.
Tumblr media
They find each other again. They have their moments together. And then, because Hank is a superhero, and they live dangerous lives, and Jen is reckless enough to get involved in dangerous endeavours to try and work out what was stolen from her, she nearly dies.
Nearly.
Tumblr media
Hank and Jen are incredibly compatible, to be honest. They're a great match, and it's interesting to compare her to Vera, who is identified as a librarian, an 'intelligent' profession, but whom Hank seems disinterested in, whereas Jen, who is explicitly on Hank's level, enraptures him, and in the end, he's forced to let her go for her safety.
In the end, Hank doesn't want someone who'll just hold his hand, he wants someone who can challenge him intellectually, someone who will hold him to account, who can match his wit, and Vera . . . can't.
Not really.
It's partly a foible of when they met, partly a case of Vera being who she is and Hank who he is, but in the end, it all comes down to how Vera reacted when she received those flowers and poetry. She folded. She was charmed. She fell for Hank's charming exterior. And that's. Kinda. Not interesting to him? I don't even think he realises that's what's going on, but it is what happened. She showed him that she would put up with his shenanigans, and that's not what Hank wants. Not really.
You could almost see it as a game that Hank plays, a challenge to see if you can scratch the surface and get at who he really is, under the surface, if you're dedicated to getting at him. Maybe that's unfair of him to do, but again, I don't think it's something he even realises he's doing. He has walls up for a reason, and if you break through them, then you clearly want him - he can believe that, because you just fought him, to get to him. It all comes back to that insecurity . . .
It's also worth noting here that Hank and Jen have another encounter in X-Men Unlimited vol. 2 #10, in a way that contradicts Marvel Presents. It's hard to reconcile, since she remembers Hank here when she shouldn't, but I like both stories too much to really fight over which one I have as canon, so I kinda just don't think about it too much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"What would you think of me if I was to tell you how terrified I am of everything right now?"
"You've never been scared of anything in your life. I think we should both be brave and go take a look at what might be hiding in the cemetery."
That touch, that tenderness . . . ouahhghhhh . . . the timelines are screwy, and these are all written years apart from one another, but I do think it's significant that Hank spends entire issues of Amazing Adventures and Incredible Hulk hiding his beastly appearance from Vera under a mask, and yet, he willingly unwraps his bandages for Jen.
I think that tells you all about how willing he is to be his true self around Jen versus Vera. Hank literally says he doesn't know who he is sometimes around Vera, and she tells him, I'll help you find out if you let me. Helpful, but it doesn't fix the problem. Meanwhile, Hank is in the midst of the worst depression and fear of his life, reeling from his worst ever mistake, and Jen tells him that she'll be brave with him, and they'll confront the unknown together. He finds catharsis that way. Vera is supportive. Jennifer is proactive. Hank appreciates both, of course, but only through one can he achieve growth.
But, that's no real surprise, because . . . she's the one who tells him this, too . . .
Tumblr media
Jennifer Nyles, you have, like, 9 appearances in all of Marvel Comics, but I would die for you. Genuinely one of the most influential characters in Hank's life, tbh.
. . . SPEAKING OF INFLUENTIAL CHARACTERS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So . . . in the interests of a fair analysis, Trish is an interesting character. She believes in transparency, the democratisation of information, she is eminently heroic, she is self-sacrificing, she is intelligent, and she is strong.
You can see why Hank would be attracted to her. She can cut through the flip attitude and get at the Hank underneath. If we're going with the theory that Hank is playing keep away with his real feelings so that the only people who get close to him are the people who work to get there and he can believe that they're there for him, then Trish will succeed, because she'll put in the work.
Tumblr media
But, the problem is, the Hank she met was human Hank, and even though she claims not to have a problem with the fur - and maybe, at this point, she doesn't! - we know that Hank's mutation becomes a problem for her.
Tumblr media
Man, if I had a penny for every time I posted these panels, I wouldn't have to work.
But. In the interests of fairness. I have to point out that the problem here is not that Trish found it hard to get used to Hank's changing face - I've talked about this before, that it's understandable it would become an issue for her, in a romantic relationship, faces and bodies and the tangible aspects of a person are more important than ever - but that she thought this was in any way an acceptable way to do it.
Trish's insecurity made her lash out and 'fix' the problem in a way that saved her career and severed the tie that would drag her down. That is. An understandable reaction. It's hurtful, but in the end, she's prioritising herself, and that's. Understandable. That being said?
She had no fucking right to even try this.
Tumblr media
Like. No??? You don't get to do this??? Fuck off??? You exited from his life in a way that saved your career and your reputation, you do not get to try and dip back in because you feel bad - and, I'm going to be incredibly fucking honest, that's if that's even the reason she's doing it. I suspect, maybe maliciously, but maybe not, that she had ulterior motives, because of past behaviour.
Because do you want to know what the worst thing Trish Tilby ever actually did was?
Tumblr media
Meet Dennis Hogan. He is a mutant. His power is to look like a lizard. That's it. He also was infected by the Legacy Virus, making him incapable of controlling those transformations. He is a perfectly harmless, innocent young man, who is trying to find medical help for a disease that he had no way of avoiding contracting.
Trish Tilby is directly responsible for his death in a hate crime.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Trish's response, when Hank brings this up?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just throw the whole fucking woman out. She's septic garbage.
How does this reflect on Hank? It reflects badly that he ever took her back after this. After she sold out his fucking race, got an innocent man killed, deflected blame, physically assaulted her partner, and acted as if she, somehow, were the wronged party in this.
"If you were doing your job as well as I'm doing mine, there'd be one less dead mutant to mourn!"
Hank is currently working on a cure for the Legacy Virus, Patricia. Thank you for implying that he's not doing enough, while you sit around, hocking news stories that will tangibly improve your position at your job, that directly lead to hate crimes, because you have decided that people just NEED TO KNOW things that will make them act irresponsibly, hatefully, and cruelly.
Yes, there is such a thing as freedom of the press. There is such a thing as the democratisation of information.
And then there's this asshole, who was storming into Angel's hospital room with a camera, recording him with his ruined wings, chasing a story because it was the right thing to do, and damn the consequences.
Who cares who gets hurt, so long as Patricia Tilby gets her story?
It reflects badly on Hank that he ever went out with her. it reflects badly on Hank that he ever took her back. It reflects badly on everyone involved that they didn't have the heart to tell Hank to just fucking NOT.
This is who she is. It's who she's always been, since her first appearance, and it is stark how awful a woman she is.
The X-Men '97 adaptation of her was kind. Think about that for a moment. Think about the fact that turning this woman into a fucking Prime Sentinel couldn't make her do as much damage as she did with her own free will and bad judgement.
. . . Blech.
So, this is an incomplete history, because I've run out of images? Heh. If you want to hear more about Hank's other relationships, most notably Cecilia Reyes, Abigail Brand, and Simon Williams, feel free to send another ask, and I can link them together. Hope you found this informative and not as rambly as it feels.
Also, if I remember correctly, Cerebrocast is gonna do an episode on Trish Tilby soon? I have no intention of listening/watching to it, but keep all of this stuff in mind and see if it gets mentioned when that episode happens. Because that podcast's hate boner for Hank McCoy means I genuinely think they'll find a way to excuse Trish's poor behaviour just because it's Hank. It honestly wouldn't surprise me.

Iron flame yap seshh: Characters
Hiyyaaaaahhhhhhhh I don't have much of an intro this time so were going straight into it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Violet & Zaden: If I thought they annoyed me before OHH BROTHERR. The lack of communication between these two is astounding. "Why didn't you tell me." "You didn't ask" "I DID ask." "Well, you didn't ask the right questions." ..................dpmo. I love them but they're so annoying I'm sorry and then when Violent found out ole girl has the same fighting style bc Zaden trained her too!!?? Violet wasn't mad enough for me. Then after he heard that girl tell Violet that Zaden only wanted her for sex what does he do? Try to have sex with Violet. IDk Violet is a much better woman than me I would have killed him. I do love that Violet clocked him and was like "You're acting like Dain." CLOCK HIM AGAIN. The Zaden being vennin at the end ugh what is even going awnnnnnn. In my opinion Violet should have been a lot meaner and Zaden.....for god's sake, I'm tired of the angsty man act can't lie. (Kudos to Violet for withstanding torture and knowing not to drink that shit the second time around THATS MY GIRL)
Rhiannon: Opinion hasn't changed. Queen.
Dain: This is not a complete redemption bc I still don't like the fact that he's still "Are you SURE you want him Violet." But I enjoy that he grew a brain and sided with the right folks. Like busting her out of there? I won't call him king but he at least gets Squire status.
Aaric Graycastle: "Keep ur fucking boyfriend away from me." Oh yeah, I fuck with him. Is someone not a suck-up to Zaden and not afraid to actually try to go at him? I sense a new fav.
Andarna: Princess Andarna wants blood and blood she will get, I kinda expected her to be different in some way so her scales changing was not a huge surprise but it was nice. Also despite the rules the dragons have in place she absolutely bodied that other dragon for Violet and ugh I love Andarna so much yall don't understand.
Tairn & Sgayel: I'm putting these two together bc man that scene where Tairn finds out that not only Zaden kept something from Violet but more importantly Sgayel kept something from Tairn!!!???? Gods I love these two as mates but that scene hurts my feelings. Also Dad!Tairn constantly being like "Andarna no." is my new fav thing.
Momma Sorrengail: Yanno.......I dont think I dislike her as much as I did, especially because she ended up helping but like...idk. I think id be like Brennan and just be like "Eh fuck you kinda?" like idk how to truly feel about her after iron flame. Its a complicated I don't like her but thanks we couldn't have done it without her? Pulled through for her kids ig so go momma Sorrengail.
Jack Barlowe: WHAT.THE.FUCK what. WHAT. First off, how are you alive, second why are you alive, third SAVED VIOLET?, fourth VENIN? fith KILLING BAIDE?! Someone kill him for good ZADEN DO UR THING like double tap make sure he STAYS down.
Brennan: no overwhelming feelings tbh. I understand his attitude towards Lilith tho def deserved it.
Catronia: I dont like her, Violet should have beat her ass WORSE. And like yeah mind powers are invasive but amplifying someone's EMOTIONS?! Yeah she sucks. And being mad at Violet bc of a fuck ass crown girl get REAL. Showing up in a see-through gown at Zaden's door? You dirty skank bitch she better be next on the off list especially her sparring match with Violet. IDGAF if she helped later fuck Cat.
Ridoc: "The map is under my mattress." King. So in love with him. Can we stop giving him near-death experiences pls ill cry.
Sawyer:....... don't do this to me man he better be okay.
Jesina: Queen pulled through for the translations a smart baddie queen love that for her tbh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay yall that's all I got for now, it was gonna be posted earlier but I went through a breakup and college got busyyyy hopefully I can give my thoughts on the actual plot of Iron flame soon!

some solomon headcanons because I'm bored and I love this man so much
general solomon headcanons are mixed with solomon/mc stuff so enjoy
warnings: slight cussing, talking about alcohol, sfw, grammar mistakes, gender neutral mc/reader, you/yours pronouns used
he is a lactose intolerant. does he give a shit tho? not at all. honestly he tends to forget about it
his hands are cold most of the time
he always makes sure to give you a forehead kiss. as a good morning or goodbye mostly
he's autistic
blushes at sudden affection. like check and forehead kisses. caressing his hand with ur thumb. drawing circles on his skin. good morning/good night texts. reminders to eat/drink. or just tell him you like his name
yea we all know solomon cannot bring himself to look you in the eyes when he's flustered (surprise guest shows it really well). but if you want to fluster him more just force him to look at you. he'll become even more of a blushing mess
he laughs at the most dumb shit. especially at animals and little kids
when he's telling a joke he will laugh like 10 secs after saying it
tries to play it cool and pretend alcohol haven't affected him but he gets drunk easily. he's the type to either start talking about whatever comes to his mind or fall asleep and wake up sober
while we're talking about sleeping, he snores a little
his bones crack ALL the time. sometimes when the both of you are bored you are trying to find out who can crack most bones. or the strangest ones. and yea before meeting him you didn't know that cracking your ribs is even possible
he's ambidextrous
he dislikes reality shows or dating game shows like hotel paradise and love island. he just doesn't really get what's so fun about them
always asks for consent before initiating anything. like kissing, hugging or even holding hands. he wants you to always feel comfortable around him
he has so many freckles but they're only visible after he was exposed to sun
(basing on the recent vamp event) he would totally bite you as a sign of affection
has claustrophobia and needs at least one lamp on in the room
loves when you call him "sol" because it sounds like soul
he is a little old fashioned when it comes to relationships
he's the type to stop midway cooking and dance with you
feels the most loved when he's laying on your chest with your arms around him
he would call you all the pet names possible (unless you tell him you don't like a specific one)
but he likes calling you "darling" or "my love" the most
(except for "my adorable apprentice" ofc)
shows you off at any possible occasion, especially if the brothers are watching
he would pick up the weirdest things you said and would go along with it to the point where everyone else would be like what the fuck
loves spending time with you even if it's just sitting together in one room doing completely different things
rambles A LOT about spells, curses and books he's read
it's pretty much canon but he rambles about YOU to others. like how amazing and powerful you are or how progress you did as a sorcerer
his eyes sparkle when he's excited but he would be VERY embarrassed if you tell him that
even tho he acts really confident and smug he is pretty insecure at the beginning of your relationship
like yes, he knows that you love him and he's so happy that you chose him, he really does, but solomon has an annoying voice in his head telling him you deserve someone better than him
once he overcomes it tho, he would annoy the shit out of others. like he would keep reminding them that he is dating you, you choose him and you're all his (and he's all yours)
but he would cry if you proposed to him. and on your wedding day. tho he would try to keep himself composed in front of the others
tbh everything he wants is an established domestic

despite all my reservations about the show and the very obvious "this is an adaptation, a kind of poorly made one, and these are not the characters i know and love from the books," i AM enjoying the show and i'm excited for the next episode to drop!
so far i think my biggest issues are:
a) mensah being so... openly emotionally vulnerable all the time. she seems kind of constantly frazzled and that's just not how i pictured her at all. i do love her casting, just not how she's played. (also i pictured her with glasses--)
b) pretty much everything about ratthi. he's really annoying and i don't like the "quirky kind of dumb English Humour" thing that's going on with him - it's the same reason i didn't like steven in moon knight very much, except he grew on me because the acting was um. better. ksjndfnjksdf. plus what the fuck was the thing about naming a kid all about??? i don't really agree with some of the criticisms i've seen that they're making fun of polyamory or whatever, but i do feel that it's written pretty awkwardly.
c) some of the acting/writing for the crew just feels a bit... i don't know how to word this, exactly. but it feels very kind of... forced? like whenever they're doing their hippie shit or interacting with each other most of them come off like very young, amateur actors in a way i don't like. not all of them though. i think this goes along with another point i was going to make about how some of the "humour" is a bit... eh. like all the rise and fall of sanctuary moon stuff just feels super cringe and i get that that's kind of the point but ughhhhhhhhHHH you know? sdkfjnsdjkf
d) the visuals suck LOL but nothing was going to match up to my imagination so it's whatever. they don't have murderbot rely on its cameras nearly as much as i'd like, but i get that with a film adaptation there's only so much you can do there.
e) episode length. enough said.
and now for some things i originally disliked but eventually came around on:
a) murderbot itself. it's not canon murderbot to me, but the actor did grow on me despite my initial dislike of a) his face, b) his voice, and c) his constant emoting early on (he stops doing it later and murderbot starts seeming a lot more like itself). if this wasn't supposed to be murderbot and was instead just a different secunit or, hell, a non-adaptation tv show about robots, i'd really like the actor in this role. i mean i do anyway but you know what i mean. whatever.
b) gurathin. i still have some issues with him like his weird thing for mensah (really playing into the creepy loner autistic-coded guy stereotype here, ugh) and like the rest of the characters, he doesn't feel like gurathin - but i do like him. especially his interactions with lebebe.
c) pin-lee! i really like them. i think it's cool that they're nonbinary and played by a nonbinary actor, but also they're just kind of funny. again, not book pin-lee, not the same character at all, but i like them. tbh i like most of the crew even though they're not The Characters to me.

Any chance we'll get to see Aegon and Aemond forced into hanging out with Jace and Luke because they have to accept being in the group if they want to hang out with Jon and Rhaegar? I want to see Jon and Rhaegar using those diplomatic skills of theirs to make them play nice and maybe even become friends. Or at least enjoy watching them try... seeing the boys play tug-of-war over Jon and Rhaegar would be amazing, truly. (I'd like to see Daemon see it happening, lmao.) Aegon and Jace were friendly enough in HOTD, at least as children, before Cole and the whole Harwin thing, and then the whole Driftmark episode, took that friendship right off the table. Jace even looked up to Aegon, I think, especially when it came to dragon-related things after he bonded with Sunfyre, so I wonder if that means Aegon might be open to a friendship with the kids if the cards are played right. Aemond... maybe if the pig incident is avoided...? And because I'm thinking about all the kids, I have to ask: What's Helaena up to these days? Will we get to see her in Resonant again any time soon? I'm sure she'd love to join a game! She can play Princess Naerys, but idk, give her a magic pet spider that can cure a fatally-wounded knight if he's only brave enough to hold it! (Cue the game turning into a challenge of who dares touch the spider she found in the dirt until Ser Arryk realizes what they are doing and insists they LEAVE THE SPIDER ALONE. No touching poisonous spiders on his watch, please for the love of all the gods.) ... that got away from me, haha. Anyway. TLDR; the point is that I want to see more interactions with all the kiddos! :D
We'll probably see them all together soon enough, since the Velaryon boys are all alone for the next few weeks and even Viserys will feel bad enough about that to have a large supper with all the cousins + Daemon.
Yeah, Aegon being friendly with them early on isn't too surprising, TBH. He enjoys an audience/group of idolizing hangers-on, and little cousins who think you're cool because you're bigger and/or have a full sized dragon are a nice lure. They're also nearing an age where they're no longer "little kid annoying" (ages 3-4 are too "baby" for a 7-9 year old, but around 4-5, they're able to relate a bit better). And if it annoys Aemond, he's all for something.
Whereas Aemond's sense of self worth seems far more driven from "deserving" things more than anyone else. He's a proper Targaryen prince, with the right coloring and breeding, and he doesn't need a nurse, and he's very skilled for his age (until Jon and Rhaegar showed him up) and dedicated to his studies. He strikes me as someone who latches on to 1-2 people who he considers worthy, and looks down upon the rest. The introvert to Aegon's extrovert. (Not to say that introverts look down on people! I imagine a bunch of us fandom folks consider ourselves introverts. But he doesn't want or need a crowd.)
So Aemond sees them more as competition or something lesser to derive self-worth from.
Helaena is a victim of being shunted into "girl-appropriate" studies. Lessons with the septa, topics appropriate for a lady/princess (etiquette, sewing+embroidery, etc), which means her orbit doesn't intersect as much. The boys have to go out of their way to fit her into their schedules/breaks (since they have the same lessons/training, they have the same breaks and off days). Hopefully the boys find a way to include her more! She would absolutely love to play Dragonknight with them.

"big brown guy x feminine white twink" oh my godddddd
someone on here pointed out how this is done to every single mlm ship (especially for popular fandoms... *cough* arcane), always making one bigger and browner and "dominant" in a very racist and heteronormative way and ever since then i can't unsee it and it drives me insane
and when they infantilize serizawa they infantilize reigen by proxy too. like intrinsic to reigen's whole personhood is that he's a sweaty slimy bastard with a good heart. he's self-reliant, cunning, familiar with life and has strength of character. he has never been and will never be a shy uwu twink that blushes at first dates and hand-holding or is super emotional or open or touchy-feely. (don’t get me wrong… i want to make him flushed and desperate but in a realistic way)
maybe that’s just a consequence of a younger audience and i understand/respect that people have “safe characters” they love but i agree it’s just so messy and offputting
anyway if you have any recommendations for eastern artists who portray serirei in a more complex, interesting way please share (if you want) otherwise ty for your thoughts i appreciate them i hope this ask was interesting
YES YES YES!!!!
Same tbh, I don't mind the young people enjoying their comfort characters but they're so vocal it became "you either ship it that way or we don't like you", as seeing someone else fuck around with their comfort character in different ways actually HURTS them and make it a fandom norm.
I HATE IT!!
It made me hate kids so much because they don't realize how their comfort hurt so much. It's not welcoming, it's not fandom spirit, it's a cult of ride or get crucified and shamed because you dared say their vision is a full circle racist and ableist.
And how they uwufy Serizawa unable to ask for extra ketchup?? He's 31 yo. It's annoying when you turn people on the spectrum as kids that need their hand held or are just super shy when, imo, Serizawa isn't on the spectrum... He didn't live life for 15 years!! 15 important years where a kid needs experience and people for socialization and growth. Someone who doesn't go outside for most of their life in comparison of someone with a normal social life will of course be more afraid of people and tend to be codependent to someone (most of the time, those people are not great and love using these vulnerable people for their own gain, just like Touichirou and Reigen).
In the official fanbook Q&A, Serizawa shows so much growth. Thanks to Reigen, he realizes that depending on people is lame, especially Reigen, he realizes Reigen is pathetic and is the kind of guy to pretend he didn't fart "it was the chair".
Anyhow, I hate fandoms in general for what you said anon! Turns out I also hate that Arcane ship lmao. It's the SeriRei of Arcane.
~~~
Also, I wish I was good at remembering names 😭 I'm not so much in the fandom after giving up on Twitter so, sorry about that... OTL
