#and I don't even really ship them that much

[strkly]

misunderstanding

s.m: you and bob were inseparable. until he begins to ignore you and you have no clue why. when you’re injured after a mission gone wrong you’re finally able to find out why.

robert ‘bob’ reynolds x avengers!gn!reader

w.c: 2k

c.w: hurt/comfort, bob being avoidant (but he means well), two idiots in love, hea, reader implied to be an og avenger, no use of y/n, thunderbolts spoilers obv. not proofread and intentionally lower case.

a.n: as soon as i finished the thunderbolts i wrote this LOL. im already working on like three more for him

After you had all saved the city and had been established as the new avengers you and bob had been inseparable. you had chucked it up to you just seeming the friendliest out of all of them but the looks the rest of the team all exchanged with one another anytime the two of you were around told you they thought otherwise.

you watched movies with him, went to go get milkshakes together, helped him with the chores around the base, there wasn't really a second the two of you weren't together unless you were out on a mission or sleeping.

yet as a recent theres been a shift. hes been avoiding you. its so obvious to not only you but everyone else in the team, he was more than happy to chat with yelena ava alexei hell he’d even rather talk to walker than he’d rather talk to you. the only person also seemingly receiving the cold shoulder from bob was bucky who shrugged when you asked him if he had any clue what was going on.

whenever you would walk into the room and smile at him he stared at you wide eyed before rushing out the room mumbling to himself before you could say anything to him. you tried not to let your heart break show on your face as you watched him flee the room as you had entered. you had been so determined to get him to talk to you today after over a week of nothing from him but watching him run away from you killed any sort of motivation you once had.

the pout only grows on your face as you feel yelena pat your back in pity. “i dont know what i did wrong.” shes quiet for a moment before she speaks, “dont worry im sure he’ll get over this weird phase and you’ll get back to normal in no time.” you look down at your feet and sigh, maybe she was right. you knew he struggled with his mental health maybe he just needed space yet the idea of that being it just made you feel worse. he had always confided in you, told things he wouldnt even tell the therapist he started seeing. it made you feel trust worthy, like the two of you had a bond stronger than words could describe. you like him, you like him so much your heart feels like its about to burst out of your chest at the thought of him.

it was later that same night. you could see the light peering out from under his door. he was up, but when you knocked on his door you were only greeted with silence. “bob?” silence. you sigh before pressing your head up against the door. “i just wanted to say goodbye, were leaving for the mission, me and bucky.” you can hear some shuffling inside at your words, you almost let yourself hope he’s about to come to the door but after a few more beats he still doesn’t respond.

“i miss you bob.” the words spill out before you’re able to stop them, “im sorry, for whatever ive done im so sorry, i just want use to go back to the way we were. i miss you so much, i hope we can talk once i’m back. goodbye.” you force yourself away from the door as the tears begin to pour down your face you don't even bother to glance back at the door as you exit the hallway and down to the area where bucky is waiting for you. he doesn't comment on your tear stricken face, simply just placing hand on your shoulder and asking if your ready to go. with a quick nod you join him on the ship and your off. you silently thank him for it.

what you don’t know is bob is curled up in a ball in his bed, pressing his face tightly against the stuffed bear you had bought him as a gift as he tried to silence his own sobs. it was for the better, he told himself over and over again. you didn't need him, not when you had him, you were better off without him as much as it made his heart ache.

five days. it had been five days since you had left and bob felt like he was losing his mind. he didnt leave his room, laying and rotting in his bed hoping the universe would just swallow him up. it took yelena and walker finally coming into his room to force him out of bed much to his dismay. he couldnt stomach to eat anything, shaking his head and hanging it down like a child clinging his stuffed bear to his chest while they tried. he knew it was a pathetic display but he couldnt find it in himself to care.

the rest of the team stares at him in pity, unsure of what to say. they all knew what he was going through, the only one oblivious to it was you, as walker finally sighed and opened his mouth to speak they all froze at the sound of the doors slamming open. “can somebody call a doctor?” bucky called out and everyone turned to see him enter the room. you were held in buckys arms, all beaten up covered in blood. bobs head spins, he doesnt hear the sounds of everyone asking what happened he doesnt see ava running off to get medic all he sees if you and he faints.

the mission was supposed to be easy. it was easy, until the last guy standing ended up being a mutant neither of you were prepared for. you ended up taking the bigger hit and bucky quickly finished the job rushing to take you back to the tower. your injuries were not life threatening but you lost a lot of energy in the fight and had ended up knocked out for a couple days. when you regain consciousness the first thing you hear is his voice. bob. he’s talking with someone whos voice you an barely make out, based on the brass and tone you assume its bucky. you cant make out what he’s saying but you cant bring yourself to open your eyes just yet.

footsteps ensue with a couple final words exchanged before the gentle opening and closing of the door and suddenly you’re alone with him. you can hear the scrapping of a chair and suddenly his very warm body heat flows next to you, you can feel his hands playing with the blanket as he sniffs. “please wake up.” you still cant open your eyes, maybe you’re still too tired but a part of you thinks you simply want to hear what he’s going to say.

“im- im so stupid. im so so so so stupid. all ive been dreaming about is seeing you again,” you feel him place his head on your stomach and you try to keep your heart and breathing at a regular pace, “i wanna sit on the couch together and watch movies and drink milkshakes and talk about anything with you i miss you please i was so stupid please just wake up so i can hear your voice again.” your chest aches and you fight the frown growing on your face. you open your eyes, realizing his has his face turned away from you. when you go to speak he manages to beat you to it. “i was so jealous.”

his words have you almost gasping before quickly closing your eyes again realizing he was turning his head to look at you. your mind running a mile a minute, you had no clue what he was talking about but his words had you hopeful, you couldnt help but be eager for whatever he was about to say. “he’s so much cooler than me. i get why you must like him, i just,, i just wish i could be the one you like. the one you think is cool but i know im not worthy of that.” what? you almost find the word spilling out from your lips but you manage to stop yourself. “i just couldnt do it anymore, after i saw you guys in the kitchen, you were smiling at him, i couldnt make that ache in my chest go away like you taught me and whenever i saw you it just go worse so i ran away like a coward. im such a loser.”

it finally clicks. you remember.

it was late at night. you had stepped out of your room to get a glass of water. when you got to the kitchen bucky was also there drinking a glass of whiskey, the two of you chatted for a moment and when you opened up the dishwasher to get a glass you busted out laughing at the sight of his metal arm in the dishwasher. “what the hell is that doing in there?” “what how do you think i clean the damn thing?” ‘not in the dishwasher! you’re so stupid bucky.” he walks towards you and leans down to be face to face with you, “thats why you like me doll.” you grin and hit him on the chest, shaking your head. “shut up.”

you opened your eyes once more and realize he had pushed his face to be pressing against your stomach. slightly shaking as he sobbed lightly into the fabric. your heart ached, realizing how sad he must have been. how lonely he must have felt. he freezes when you put your hand on his hair lightly running your fingers through it. “i dont like bucky.” your words are course, its clear your throat is yearning for some sort of hydration but you dont care. his head flys up and he looks at you with his wide wet eyes. your name tumbles from his trembling lips but you still continue to speak. “ive known him for a long time, he’s called me that for forever, he was just joking around with me i dont like him i promise.” he continues to stare at you in shock, his mouth opening and closing like a fish before he clenches his jaw and looks down at the floor, mumbling to himself, “im so stupid.”

as much as it hurts you force yourself to sit up and touch his shoulder. he looks up at you, a much sadder expression having taken over his face. “i love you bob.” his breath hitches, “i love you so much it kills me.” you wait for him to say something back, anything in return but he simply stares. you wait for him, you’re so patience with him he just can’t help himself.

you yelp in surprise when he suddenly laches onto you and you fall back with him ontop of you. you ignore how much your body burns in pain as he shoves his head in your neck. “i love you i love you so much.” you feel so much relief your eyes burn with tears. you can hear him mumbling over and over again that he loves you and it feels unreal, like youre dreaming and youll wake up soon.

“bob look at me.” he reluctantly pulls away from you and stares at you with heart eyes, your hands gently cup his face before pressing your lips against his. he eagerly but sloppily returns it, clearly inexperienced but you cant even find yourself caring as you can feel him brightly smile against you all other thoughts float away from you.

hours later when bucky comes back to check on you a smile falls on his lips as he sees bob laying on top of you and the two of you asleep peacefully, both of you unknowingly smiling in your sleep. he shakes his head before walking away. he pulls out his phone and clicks a couple things before raising it to his ear as he walks down the hall. “you own me 50 sam i told you they would get together.”

I would like to add to this: I know it gets often said that fans gravitate towards male characters and pairing up male characters because of wanting relationships with equality of power, with people countering how these stories have stereotypically gendered power dynamics all the time, just with two men. And I think the key is it's not about equality of power, but equality of sincerity.

The thing is, a lot of people (especially in the fan fiction writer demographic, but really a lot of humans in general) love sincere, powerful emotions in their fiction, and that's what often draws them to characters. They love seeing characters struggle and suffer, whether in a tragic tone or them ultimately triumphing over it, they love seeing characters have strong emotional bonds with each other deeply meaningful to their arcs where they would do anything for the other person (this particularly relevant to the reference I was making to fans writing shipping stuff), and they love both characters who wear their emotions on their sleeves and characters who don't, but have cathartic emotional transformations that forces them to face their emotions in their darkest times rather than just being stoic with unexplored depths 24/7, and perhaps growing into greater empathy and openness.

And the problem with this is that all of these forms of sincerity, in fictional narrative (in the qualities women are portrayed with) and in real life (in the qualities women are stereotypically ascribed), have been historically weaponized against women to show them as more sincere in those ways than men and portraying that as a negative thing. Women breaking down under intense suffering being used to "put them in their place" or fetishized, romances or other relationships between a woman and a man where the woman is so sincere about her love for the man that it absorbs her whole character and leaves nothing of dignity, competence or other facets of the self while the man is not all that sincere and just sees the woman as one small facet of his life, relationships between a woman and children where their deep love for the children is exploited narratively to show she should be nothing but a vessel for them without individuality, passionately emotional women shown as hysterical and unworthy of respect, less outwardly emotional women whose development into opening up more is inextricably tied to them becoming passive, feminine and "knowing their place" rather than having active goals and "cool" qualities.

So this leads to a situation where people are understandably jumpy about any of these narrative tropes being applied to women because of this weaponization of them, and try to make female characters in an insecure manner that avoids them. But all of these expressions of narrative emotional sincerity they are avoiding still remain things people find very compelling in characters and their stories, which means there is a whole range of narrative beats people are avoiding in women, and often in an annoyingly "meta" way (i.e woman who is guarded and strong not so much because her particular personality, life circumstances and outlook made it that way or she is trying to put on a front to herself or other people within the story, but because she is trying to prove something to the audience and always seems halfway through the fourth wall). And as long as there is a constant avoidance of things that tend to be compelling and popular in characters due to their sincerity and emotional resonance, when it's a woman, women are going to be less popular.

And if someone does include those beats, even if they do it in a way that avoids the sexist weaponization that has often historically come with them when they are used on women, with their arcs basically being the same as male characters who had the same beats and characterization and are loved for it, people are so paranoid and tired of seeing it in women that they see them as a misogynistic stereotype anyway, and the character fails to get "credit" or love for it even when they are well-written. Because people often tend to laser focus on a given trope as sexist in the most literal sense, like an A.I would view it, rather than realizing it's the particular framing behind it that makes it sexist (or racist, etc., this happens with all manner of bigoted tropes) and if you took away the framing it would just be a neutral character trait or story beat. For example, the whole discourse around the "serious, practical woman in comedy show or media where people are doing exciting things " and the "manic pixie dream girl", which seem like opposite tropes but are really united in how they deny the man humanity. The problem isn't that the woman is serious, it's that they are serious in a genre where the exciting, funny or uncouth things are used as the medium to explore the character's humanity and make them interesting, so them refusing to participate in it makes them not be as human or interesting. The problem isn't that the woman is silly and free-spirited, it's that the narrative has no interest in the internal thought process, background and outlook that led them to be like that and just uses them as a vessel for a man's development (which leads in the worst case to real women who have those superficial traits but obviously not the narrative framing to be called manic pixie dream girls). As a result of all this you have things like posts I've actually seen where someone explicitly said "I would hate my favorite male character if he were a woman because he suffers so much in the narrative" (even though the suffering is part of why they love the male character). The fear of weaponization of sincerity makes people dislike it in a woman when they would like the same thing in a man, even when in this particular case it is not having the weaponizing framing and is literally just a gender swap of the male version.

There's something extremely depressing to me about how many people just don't want to get weird with female characters the way they do with male characters.

Like, I can kind of see why a lot of people feel weird about writing about bad things happening to female characters, but what it leads to is everyone putting female characters up on a shelf where you can admire them but you can't actually do anything interesting with them because that might be sexist or just make people feel bad. And I think that's actually a whole lot worse in the long run.

Helllooo, Idk if u still do nsfw but can i request Levi x Reader smut? 😏(But mix it with fluff)

Levi and Reader have been dating in secret like nobody in the survey corps knew about them dating. Then Reader and Levi had smexyyy time at Levi's office then Hange accidentally bust the door open revealing the two couple and Hange squels in happiness because they ship Levi and Reader for so long and then Hange spread the knews like a wild fire xD (you decide the ending)

Shocking lover

Levi x fem reader

Canon world, smut, fluff, being a couple, being caught, angry and protective Levi.

While having a very intimate time with Levi on his desk, Hange unlocks Levi's door and lets herself in. She interrupts the two of you causing Levi to go into protective mode of you.

Your nails dragged over Levi's back as his cock pounded into your pussy. Your toes squeezed tightly as you felt blinded by pleasure. You pushed your fingers into Levi's hair and tugged a little. Seeing the Captain of the scouts fuck you speechless made your heart race. This strong man worshipped the ground you walked on and after you took his virginity, he was an unstoppable beast when it came to sex and lovemaking.

Levi yanked you closer to him before crashing his lips against yours. He moaned against your lips as his heart fluttered in his chest. He gripped your hips tightly as he bucked into you on his desk. The desk creaked and groaned under the power of his thrusts, it even began scraping across the floor and leaving marks.

You leaned your head back pulling from Levi's lips as you moaned out loud. "F-Fuck, Levi."

Levi attacked your neck with bites and kisses; your name was a sweet song on his lips. "I love you." He grunted as your walls clenched him. "I love you."

You shivered as you felt a pop and a trickle of an orgasm wash over you. "A-Ah, Levi. Mm, I love you too."

He panted and lay you back on his desk, your head hanging over the edge a little. "Shit, you look like a goddess." He eyed your breasts falling out of your bra and your shirt yanked open. He flicked his gaze to his cock pressed into you, he dragged himself out a little to see he was glistening with your arousal. "Tch, fuck that looks good."

You ran your fingers down his chest. You gripped his open shirt and yanked him down to you. "You always look good."

Levi blushed as he panted. "Tch, I still don't understand how I managed to get you as mine."

You smiled. "You were sweet, kind, funny, sexy and handsome." You cupped his face. "So cute." You hummed a laugh. "I can't believe you wanted me. I'm not much."

"You are the most perfect and stunning woman I've ever met. I adore you." He turned his head and kissed your hand. "I love you."

You massaged your fingers in his hair. "Levi, I love you so much. Now, please cum inside me."

He blushed hard. "Tch, yes miss." He dove for your breasts and began sucking and biting while he snapped his hips against yours. "Mm."

You tugged on his hair as you wrapped your legs around him. "A-Ah."

"Holy. Shit."

Levi slowly lifted his head from your chest, his hips stilled as he stared at his office door to see Hange standing there. "Tch, how the FUCK did you get in!? My office was LOCKED!"

She grinned. "Key."

He yanked you against him protecting you from her gaze. He held you close as he stood up. "You're supposed to fucking knock!"

"Sorry, but this is amazing! I knew you two were the perfect couple. I have to tell everyone!"

Levi stared as she slammed the door and left you both alone again. He released you a little and looked down at your flustered and embarrassed face. "I'm so sorry." He caressed your cheek. "That shouldn't have happened. I locked that door." He dragged himself out of you and checked you over. "I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you."

You smiled a little. "It's okay. It was bound to happen someday."

"I shouldn't have." He fixed the shirt for you. "Let me get you to the bath to clean up and I'll go murder Hange."

You hummed a laugh as Levi carried you to his bathroom. "No murdering."

"Bit of murder?"

"No."

He hummed. "Tiny bit?"

You laughed. "You're cute."

He helped you into the bath and handed you some cleaning things. "Thank you." He kissed your forehead and cleaned up quickly. "I'll be back later, my darling love, okay?"

You gripped the edge of the bath and leaned closer to him. "Don't hurt Hange too much, okay?"

He stared at you for a bit. "I can't promise that." He knelt and took your hand before showering it with kisses. "I loved you and I need to protect you. What Hange did to us was fucked up and wrong. You're incredibly important to me, so I need to put my foot down on her repeatedly."

You snorted a laugh. "Report it to Erwin. As a sorry we might get some leave, which means time together."

He gasped a little, delighted by your news. "Oh, you're right. I'll do that, but first I gotta kick her."

You patted his cheek. "Don't be too long, I want cuddles and you promised to cum in me."

Levi's pupils enlarged as arousal bubbled inside him. "I'll be fast."

It has come to my attention that someone has been shittalking me and twisting up My words to make me seem like a creep, so i'm here to defend myself.

Here's what they said:

Good job making me look like a piece of shit over a fic i read out of curiosity because people kept mentioning it under my art, here's the conversation in question we had on Instagram, because You didnt give three shits before sharing bits and pieces of out of context messages no one else saw, making up your own version, i don't feel bad not giving a shit about showing the whole thing because i got nothing to hide.

And since you were too much of a coward to be straight with me i'll respect your wishes and keep you anonymous too.

I will translate the conversation, word for word, and i want everyone to judge if it actually correlates to what the initial post says, get your own conclusions, i don't need to fight to defend my point.

-about the possible fanfic they're mentionin on tumblr was possibly by a usar named izosso, but that guy is a proshipper and all the other fics in the tag are really weird💀

Telling you here because my tumblr account doesnt let me comment

•i saw them lol and i blocked izosso, but theres another fic by someone else [literally the only one of the ship that wasnt posted by izosso] who isnt a proshitter [as far as i know] and the fic is relatively good

-send me the link

•some things didnt really sit right with me but over all it's pretty good, they describe the dynamic almost the same as i imagined it skhd

It has a lot of smut, i just let you know because maybe that content is not your cup of tea

-going into the wild kratts Tag in AO3 is like playing the Russian roulette

Just send it to me to see what it's about

•yeah 😭 that's why i found it so weird so many people talking about the same fic

(I send the link) Here it is

-ahh yeah i found this one but i found the food sex tag weird

(Replying to my prev message) Me too

• ah yes, but it's not that much, it was put there more like a caution but no one stuck any food down any holes fortunately 🙏(clearly joking btw)

Well, besides the mouth

-thank god lol

Lmao hey out of curiosity, can i know what about it was it that you didnt like? I found it weird to see Chris as a bottom because i can't imagine him like that

•oh yeah no i do see it, he's too much of a diva 💔 (also clearly a joke?? Are we serious??) what i dislike the most is that Zach acts super weird

And the fact that there is smut at all, because it's a topic that causes me a lot of debate because he's a self insert and all

So i don't know how to feel about it, but it is well written at the very least lol

-same, it's like a 50/50 , in any case i think the fandom is gonna to form a dispute because there's a Lot of artists who font like that and when that happens i'm gonna be like Italy during WW2 lol

And yeah that thing with Zach was really weird *proceeds to call the police*

•LMAO yeah, i just try to not touch that topic much because it could always cause problems

Now where did i ever mention that i consume that content because i like it? Where did i ever sound like "an average Fujoshi"? When i very clearly said that what threw me off about the fic was the fact that there was smut at all

If what made you nauseous enough to try to ruin me was that i jokingly said he was a diva then i don't even fucking know what to tell you ??

The same curiosity you had to come and ask me for the link was the one that caused me to give the fic a try in the first place, so am i really more to be judged than you when we did the exact same thing??

Im an adult, i don't appreciate you going around saying "she still has some years for her brain to develop so i'll have faith!!" Like i'm some sort of idiot, you're barely a year older than me so be serious.

And i don't need you to go to some rando's asks to shit talk me and confess you had plans to talk crap about me to my friends because you had your own conclusions from a very specific conversation, and act like i was the one who still needs to get her shit together

Like what even is your point-?

Check yourself

And to call me a hypocrite on top of it all,,, just unbelievable

Who really is the hypocrite?

[cursedcatchild]

THX for the tagging me @shaotie and @nerdyboiyeet I enjoyed this a lot! 😇

Favorite Character and 1 reason why: Leo. He’s very relatable for me and such an angst factory,  which makes him the best character to make fan content and that’s such a comforting thing to do.

Least Favorite Character and 1 reason why: That’s gotta be Splinter. Sorry not sorry but his neglectful parenting then sometimes out of the blue grounding the turtles didn’t sit right with me. I mean my parents weren’t very present in my life either ( Not really their choice it’s because of their job) but at least they didn't have the audacity to pop up out of nowhere and suddenly “play” parent. If you weren’t there to “correct” your child when they were little you have no right to correct/judge them when they are older. That’s something I stand by strongly.

A character you think is attractive (Can skip if you don't have one) : Leo. He’s very attractive. Although if I would date/ have a relationship with him would be a different story. Like I have issues,  he has issues so we would end up being just a big pile of issues. But still he’s very attractive.

Favorite Villain: Kendra and Big Mama. They are just evil ladies and I love that.

Least Favorite Villain: It’s gonna be either Meatsweats,  Ghostbear or those crab mutants ( I forgot their names) I can’t really choose between them they all felt,  well mid.

Favorite Duo: Disaster Twins for life!! I am all about all kinds of cartoon twins. I am obsessed.

Favorite Ship: Jeretello. It’s not a super popular one,  not as much as Kendratello (which is my second fav if we don’t count crossover- *cough* LeoSagi * cough*- ones) but if that fanboying that Jeremy did for Donnie when they met was not love at first sight… I am just mentally ill for the Nerd X Even Nerdier ships and that’s what they are.

2 reasons why you like Rottmnt: I think both of my main reasons are potential. One for worldbuilding and one for characters. ROTTMNT made such unique characters that have so much potential to be written,  so many possibilities to grow. And they built such a great world for these characters. Vast and filled with potential. There are yokais,  their culture to explore. There is magic to play with. There are possible yokai religions. (There could be a magic evil cult much like the Foot clan, but more dangerous.) And we didn’t even mentioned the possibility of exploring other countries (given that cloaking brooches exist) or there is space with aliens. This series could have SO many seasons, SO many arcs. And let’s be real,  in the late kind of animated show trend of only doing a few seasons often with low episode counts all of us want to have a series that’s long. One where we can really get attached to the characters and not binge watch in one day. And Rise could provide that without feeling forced.

Tagging folks who I think might be interested doing this: @overthinkingspark-blue @fishwithaphone @tmnt-enjoyer @reclusive-raven

Calling all ROTTMNT fans

Hi i'm new and I've been seeing these on Tumblr, so I thought to do one :) Btw tag your Rottmnt friends to do this to!

Favorite Character and 1 reason why: (Mine is Donnie because he's funny XD)

Least Favorite Character and 1 reason why: (Mine is the Leader of the Kraang bc of what he did to Leo..)

A character you think is attractive(Can skip if you don't have one): (Mine is DONNIE >:))

Favorite Villain: (Mine is Kendra, or Big Mama)

Least Favorite Villain: (Mine is same as my least fav character)

Favorite Duo: (Mine is DISASTER TWINS)

Favorite Ship: (None tbh)

2 reasons why you like Rottmnt :3: (Mine is because it's a genuinely funny show, the humor in it is great, and the characters are so well done.)

Your tags: (Mine: @donniecrazy20, @geese-ball, @mycomars, @tonystarkwasrobbed, @ihateitallsomerandomguy, @yourlocalmia, @sockkllyy, @strawberryswirl4321)

[quinngefail]

quinnge the amazing and almighty

do you like rockstarshipping

YESSSSS I DO 💞💞💞

I need to draw them but 😭 I am just such a sucker for bi4bi m/f ships, man.....

Smn about a very grungy, gritty relationship between two very scrappy people who were dealt a bad hand in life, but the love they feel for one another is just like. So raw and genuine-

Also I feel like Amanda is the only person who could like,, adequately throw Adam's brand of snark and Assholery™️ back at him, y’know- like I just feel like she would know how to give him a taste of his own medicine and like. Easily go head to head with him like no one else could, and I kinda love that HSGKS

I also just love the fuckin rockstar scene so much,, it's just so 😭 RAHHH... Like I just love how it shows a very kind, shy, and awkward side to Adam- like I feel it's kinda easy to assume that he'd be the type to be all "MMM HOT GIRL I'M GONNA GET LUCKY TONIGHT 😎" (granted, I have to imagine he's acted like that at least one time in the past) but no it's like both in the scene and script, he's just so sweet and genuine,, and even if it's a bit odd to just ask some stranger if you can take their picture, it just says so much about like,, what he finds beautiful, and what he wants to preserve through photography, you know? Like one could also assume that he's only really using that camera for his slimy little freelance gigs, but idk,, that scene just further shows that he's so much more than just some apathetic dick, y’know-

Agh and I've had this visual in mind for a while now where like. She does end up going to the show, and when he sees her (as she's like slowly walking around like a deer in headlights), his face lights up and he happily calls to her with "Rockstar chick!! 😃"

Also. This is so them, and I want to do art of them inspired by this song UGH

[This is also just one of my favorite songs in general lmao]

But yes anyway I know I don't yap about them much but... I do indeed like rockstarshipping quite a bit HSGKGK

[jules-ln]

Wait, people are still arguing that Jayce stayed with Viktor “out of obligation”? The same Jayce who was given an out (because once he showed Viktor the truth, completed his goal, he wasn’t forced to stay) said “no, we finish this together” because he finally had his partner back and wasn’t going to let him go again, wherever they went? Arcane fandom really gulping down that copium six months after the finale, huh?

Sidenote: this isn’t a dig at Meljays, but I don’t get the people who insist that they’re this sweeping romance that Jayce clearly valued over his seven year partnership and that he would’ve stayed for Mel; like, they broke up? That’s not to say they don’t clearly care for each other and that there was nothing there during their brief relationship, but by the time they came back from the ravine/The Black Rose, they’ve both changed too much to be compatible anymore. Then again, people insist that Jayce only stayed with Viktor out of “obligation” only to then say that Jayce should’ve stayed with Mel and gone with her to Noxus regardless of his feelings on the matter beyond being Mel’s arm candy/supportive boyfriend, so...

(apologies if this ask is a bit too much for your blog, feel free to ignore. I don’t see a lot of people talk about this without being shouted down or called racist. Also apologies for my grammar: English isn’t my first language.)

Yeah, people still say that

I'm not going to name names because I like drama but only when it doesn't concerns me lmao

But the people I've seen saying that are mostly MJ and CV shippers, which is sad with the CV shippers; like what happened with the years long fandom tradition of the most popular mlm ship and the most popular wlw ship being besties? Se están perdiendo los valores lmao

But Hey, listen, I'm going to be very honest and say that I think this kind of sentiment mostly comes from people feeling jealous that their ship isn't as popular as Jayvik. Which, probably it's because Arcane is baby's first big fandom for a lot of people, and they haven't had the opportunity of suffering what is shipping a rarepair yet lmao

Anyways, you should prepare for more rancid takes about Jayvik once they surpass CV in number of fics at Ao3, which is bad because it's probably going to happen during pride and people will get mad, but like mad mad lmao

Also; I'm going to be honest about the Mel thing, I think a lot of her fans project on her a bit too hard, which is bad because they take everything personal. But a lot of MJs only like MJ because Jayce it's the only canonical love interest Mel has, but also, a lot of MJs don't even like Jayce lmao

I think most of them are going to leave to greener pastures once Mel gets another love interest (I'm putting my bets in that it's probably going to be Rell since apparently they aged her up in Ambessa's book and it's around the same age as Mel now). But until then, well, it is what it is

(Also, I disagree with what some of them say about Mel being treated as the disposable black girlfriend, if any I think it's more Jayce being treated as the disposable Latino boyfriend because Mel story will continue and Jayce's won't but I digress)

And your English it's fine, my first language isn't English either, it's Spanish so, lmao

[yandere-daydreams]

Is this a safe space to say sometimes I fuck with a ship solely for the incest vibes? Like they are not biologically related but they were raised together/emotionally share a parent. Just people being so stitched together there is no one way to define their relationship, siblings don’t cut it anymore and lovers don’t feel close enough together

hmmm i can't really say i fuck with incest because i watched too much early 2000s anime as a kid to let that preference budge even a little, but i do share your fondness for characters with unlabellable relationships. like they're so intimately tied together at so many different points that trying to signal out just one of their connections completely undermines the web that is their dynamic. i don't ship them at all, but ciel and sebastion of black butler fame will probably always have one of my favorite overly complicated dynamics. just some real 'i know you better than you could ever know yourself. we've never really talked.' shit going on there.

[epickiya722]

I haven't seen a post like this in a while and I was actually enjoying myself.

"Or did you brainwash yourself?"

This is why I can't really like some Izu//Ocha shippers because some of them really decide to invade BakuDeku spaces and do things like this.

The ship itself isn't even bad and I have seen BakuDeku even try to take up for Ochako because she didn't do anything wrong, like come on.

This is just the long way of asking if someone is delusional (which you don't do).

How do you get mad at BkDk shippers for downplaying a relationship and then turn around and do the same thing?

"Ignore the emotional and physical abuse", what's crazy is... no BkDk shipper that I have seen actually did that. And my question is, do you have the same energy for other ships that are way worse than BakuDeku? I highly doubt it.

"Making them romantic is an insult to their improvement", HOW THOUGH?

What gets me about this post is that nowhere they talk about Izu//Ocha except for saying the downplaying part and frankly, I find that insulting. You literally spent who knows long how writing this post and nowhere did you go "Well, at least this ship has this and that", like nothing positive about that ship.

In fact, why was this post the first post you decided to write instead of something positive for Izu//Ocha.

I find it insulting that Izu//Ocha decide to spend more time going after BakuDeku instead of using that time for their ship.

"Canon this and Canon that". They want BakuDeku shippers to just give up on the ship so bad because of canon. Like, why does it hurt you so much because someone ships these two characters? Why do you act so in pain? Wasn't 431 a win for you? Why not celebrate that or something?

Shipping Off

1943

“I don't see what problem is. You’re about to be the last eligible man in New York. you know there’s three and a half million women here?“

“Well, I’d settle for just one,” Steve shoots back.

“Good thing I took care of that,” 

Bucky Barnes is a ladies man and he knows it. He knows he’s handsome, has got a great smile, and that he can throw the “Sergeant” title around and girls will look at him a little bit more misty-eyed. 

Bucky also knows that, despite his extremely good heart, Steve Rogers is not a ladies man. 

But Steve is Bucky’s best friend, so Bucky tries his best to help Steve by bringing out not one but two girls before he ships off to war tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Earlier That Day

“You’re leaving tomorrow??” She had said to him. “Why are you just telling me this now?”

Because you’re my best friend and I knew once I told you that made it real and then you would cry but you’re so beautiful when you cry that I might change my mind and stay but then that means I would be evading the war so I might have go to jail and how wo—

“But you’re coming to the expo tonight, right?” She offered up, raising Her eyebrows expectantly, not even seeming angry at all. “You know Howard and I have been working on this for months, “

Howard. Howard Stark. Of hours he knows that they’ve been working on it for months, because he’s heard the man’s name much more than he’d like to coming out of Her mouth. Of course She’s amazing, and smart, and somehow one of the foremost engineers in the nation despite being a woman, but why did that mean that She had to work with a good looking, rich man like stark? Not that it mattered. She could do work with anyone that she wanted, man or woman. It wasn’t any of his business. 

And there She is now, not in the spotlight where Stark is showing off a goddamn flying car, but he can see Her off to the side of the set in front of them because She doesn’t like that much attention on Her, waving at him because She was somehow always able to find him in a crowd and that maybe just drove him a little bit insane.

Later that Night

“I thought you and Steve were taking a couple of girls dancing tonight?” You asked Bucky then diverting your eyes to your drink, attempting to keep your tone purely curious.

He doesn’t need to know how bitter you might be. 

Bucky takes the seat next to you at the bar. “Yeah well, you know Steve. Poor guy scared off his dancing partner, and her friend too,” he says as he chuckles, the sound spreading a blooming feeling in your chest. You’d think after years of being friends, that bloom would’ve fizzled out by now. You don’t get that feeling when Steve laughs. Only Bucky. 

“Poor Steve. You know maybe if you stopped trying to force girls on him he might find someone that’s actually interested,” you say as the bartender passes Bucky his drink, and you finally look up at him and gosh he shouldn’t be allowed to look like that. Of course Bucky is handsome, you know that. You also know that his handsomeness increases tenfold whenever he’s in anything that resembles a suit, so imagine your lack of surprise when Bucky looks amazing in his uniform. Thank God he can’t tell you’re in love with him. That would make things really awkward.

“So what’s this I hear from your sister about you taking up a doctor position thing?” he says, interrupting your thoughts. Shoot. You really ought to keep your mouth shut, because technically this was classified information, but your sister needed to hear about something to distract her from the anxieties of giving birth to a child in four months. So now Bucky knows about your "new" job.

“I’m actually helping a doctor, some nut who has a plan to make sure all of our soldiers are extra healthy and strong before they actually head out to fight, you know. It’s a great gig honestly, and at least I’ll be helpful in the war even if I’m just staying in New York. Howard helped get me the job.”

Bucky, who was initially taking a sip from his drink, apparently drank down the wrong pipe as he began to cough all over the bar. Weird. He fixes himself upright, and looks back to you. “That sounds great, doll.” He gives you a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. Then he smirks, “Any chance you could give me a checkup before I head out?” and he winks. At you. He really shouldn’t be allowed to do that.

Doing your best to avoid the heat reaching your ears, you say to him “I’m gonna miss you, Barnes.” 

He grimaces at you, “we’ve been friends for how long and you’re still referring to me by my last name?”

You return the smile. “We’ll be back on a first name basis once you return.”

Why the hell do teenage girls think it's okay to come into fandoms and just make random gay ships cuz they think it's hot? I'm saying teenage girls, but I know damn well some of y'all are grown ass women doing this.

These people come into male spaces (such as most video game fandoms), proceed to do the craziest mental gymnastics just to make up why all the dudes in the source material are fucking each other, doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, if it's incest, or if it's illegal. All that matters is that they think it's hot. And then they draw all of that bullshit and write 100 page essays about it, all the while avoiding the actual source material like it's the plague.

Now, I get that gay porn is hot for straight girls, same way straight dudes jerk off the lesbian porn, but why can't you just watch gay porn like a normal person? Why do you have to be a deranged asshole about it? Besides, some of these characters have real actors' faces on them, take a moment and think about how weird it really is when you're drawing these real people having gay sex. That's just straight foul bro.

I've seen girls saying that it's not even weird cuz they're bisexual or nonbinary or something like that. It's still not okay, dude, you don't go around giving female characters the same treatment. By all means, put "she/they" in your bio, it won't make a difference.

It's weird, man, and some of you have too much of a gooner brain to admit that to yourselves. You go on rants about sexism and whatnot, refusing to acknowledge that you might be doing something wrong.

[thatswhatsushesaid]

I am so tired of looking through the xiyao tag only to be shown xicheng as the actual main ship. So of course as any ao3 user does I filter it out. And what do I see instead?? Xiyao fics where jgy is made to be the villain of wwx’s story and gets stepped on for wangxin to succeed 😭 Is it too much to ask that I be made aware of the fact that xiyao isn’t going to last? Can’t wangxin and xiyao live together in harmony? The stage is big enough I swear.

this is precisely why i just don't trust xiyao fic that features wangxian unless i know the author lol. i too have been burned one too many times by surprise n!elan or x!cheng.

the only thing you can do is make judicious use of filters, anon. not just the "includes" section, but the "excludes" section, too. it sucks because i'm sure there is plenty of wangxian fic out there that also features xiyao, and nothing bad happens to them even if they're not the focus, and reading fic like that would probably help me recover some of my affection for the main ship. but you really do have to wade through an awful lot of abject garbage to find it.

[numberonetacostan]

-nori🦜

Hi Nori!!^^ Welcome back, and thank you for sending in your request and birdy! :]

Pickle, after The Incident, ends up pretty reliant on melatonin to help him get to sleep. And of course, post s2 finale, there is no melatonin around. So, he doesn't sleep very well for a good while, yeah? Taco notices that he isn't sleeping much, gathers that he needs a sleep aid pretty quickly, feels absolutely horrible about it, and then goes off and gathers some wild berries she knows are safe to eat but can help with sleep (Montmorency Cherries, for example). She doesn't give them to him directly, since she assumes he won't want them if she tries to offer them herself, so would probably give them to Mic or Knife to give to him, eating some in front of them so they know she isn't trying anything malicious (though this would apply more to Knife than Mic).

You ever think that maybe Pickle would ever look at Taco and Mic, or even Taco in Mepad if you want to live in the beautiful timeline in which he survived, and feels a bit resentful? Maybe a little jealous? That Taco was willing to change for them, apologize sooner, put genuine effort in to communicating with them? And wonder why he wasn't enough. Why he didn't bring change in her like they did? What they had done that he hadn't? Do you ever think about that? I do.

Speaking of Mepad, one time when Taco was feeling down, he tried to put on some music to help soothe her. Unfortunately he unironically picked some sad violin music, that Taco fortunately found so cartoonish for the moment that she started laughing and was no longer sad. Mepad isn't really sure what he did but he's happy that she's happy. He loves her laugh <3.

Though I do usually think Taco would be the scary one in their relationship, Mepad is very much capable of intimidation when he really wants to intimidate. This mostly comes in the form of Taco painfully doing her best to socialize normally, and Mepad standing behind her with an Expectant look. If you don't socialize with Taco and be friendly to her while she's Doing Her Best and Practicing social interaction, then Mepad will be Disappointed In You. Truly a horrible fate.

I like to think that, in the beginning, it's hard for Taco to look at Mepad for all that long. She's homeless! Lives in the woods! She is not used to looking at screens, much less screens as big as Mepad's face. She'd need to take some of those little vision breaks so she doesn't get headaches. Mepad would try and turn his brightness down to help her eyes adjust, as well.

Not sure if you have any interest in this ship, but I was wondering if I could request a DabiHawks drabble with a sneezy Hawks? I tend to prefer colds, but honestly I’d be happy with whatever scenario you chose.

Feel free to say no or ignore this if it isn’t your vibe, though!! Either way, I’ll continue to devour whatever you write with reckless abandon hahaha ❤️

Hello!~ Thank you so much for the request!~ I don't ship these guys in canon, but for a snzfic?? oh yeah, they're an amazing dynamic to play around with~ I had a lot of fun with this, even though it's rather short, and hey- might actually get me to reopen that d/abihawks document that I've not touched in months, hahaha~ <3

(in a twist that was in no way planned but kinda just happened-) Here is kink!D/abi, with a sick H/awks!~ 870ish words, contains swearing and references to contagion and nsfw concepts~ (nothing too bad on either point, but be aware incase it's not your thing!~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Birdie, if you sneeze one more time I’m going to spray disinfectant directly into your mouth.” 

Hawks can’t help but roll his eyes, taking a second to collect himself before he turns towards the voice, Dabi’s judgemental gaze meeting his own. 

“While I’d certainly love to see you attempt that,” Hawks pauses, a far off look starting to form as he powers through the rest of the sentence, “I wouhh- wouldn’t wish this cold on my worst ehhnemy. And you, Dabs, are certainly not that.” 

There’s a hint of a smile across the charred skin, but it’s quickly chased off as Hawks raises a fist to his nose, ducking to the side and bracing it with his other hand for a desperate, “hhh’nTGht-! ek’GDtshh-!”  

Dabi scowls at him, taking a clear step back, and making a face Hawks can’t quite place. “Why are you even here then?” “Awwh,” Hawks coos fakely, knuckling his nose with a sniffle (and internally wincing slightly at the congested nature of his voice), “I was hoping for a bit of a nicer greeting, hot stuff. Didn’t you miss me?” 

“Didn’t miss your fucking germs.” 

“So you did miss me then?” Hawks taunts, tilting his head and shooting Dabi a smirk. It’s half-hearted at best, given current conditions, but it does the trick. That telltale glint alights in Dabi’s eyes, a hint of smoke wafting from his fingertips. 

“Don’t recall saying that.” 

“And you’re so afraid of catching this, that you won’t even get a liiiittle closer? Didn’t realize thhh- hHH’ETCHH–! eh’NGT-chh! Oh, bless me. What was I saying?” 

“Something you’d regret,” Dabi retorts, smoke continuing to fall from his fingers. There’s a hunger in his eyes that gives Hawks chills, and he can’t resist the urge to take a step forward, eyes locked on Dabi’s. 

“Right, I remember now, it was something about how I didn’t realize you, Dabi, one of the most powerful villains in the league, were scared off by something as common as a cold.”   

It’s a point-blank challenge, though Hawks can’t even tell why he’s making it. He wasn’t lying, he really doesn’t actually want to give Dabi this wretched cold. But still… something about that look in Dabi’s eyes and his posture, leaning against the wall– it’s damn near flirtatious. 

A single step forward is all it takes before Dabi moves, faster than Hawks can keep track of. First he feels a warm hand grab his wrists, then one against his wing, and before he knows it he’s pinned to the wall. Dabi’s mouth is against his neck, teeth meeting his skin. 

Hawks lets out a low gasp, letting his hands fall idle in their place above his head. The soft burn of Dabi’s heat against his slightly feverish skin is heavenly, and sets each of his nerves alight. 

“Dabs-” Hawks manages to slip out, voice raw with a mixture of this cold and something more personal to them. Dabi recognizes the tone instantly, and leans back, surveying his prisoner. 

True, Hawks could break free without much trouble, even sick, but well. That was hardly the point, now was it. 

Dabi leans forward, letting his charred lips meet Hawks’ mouth. He tastes familiar, and Hawks lets himself melt into the taste, just for a minute. Smoke, something vaguely minty, and a hint of the chapstick Dabi adamantly denies using. 

“W-wait–” Hawks mutters through the kiss, pulling his head as far back as he can manage. Dabi follows him at first, teeth clenching his lip (grinning at the near-moan it gets in reply) but quickly backs off as he gets the message just in time. 

“hH-gNDxt! F-fuck I… hhhh– hk’ntCshh!- D-Dabs you gotta release my haahh… h-hands… hh’kNXgt–chh!” 

Dabi concedes, taking a step back and letting Hawks deal with the mounting situation. Smoke could get to him sometimes if he was already irritated, and it seems this cold was the perfect flame of irritation. 

“hH’ETCShh! ETCHH’uh! Oh fuck- hH’nGXt-chh!” 

Taking pity, Dabi holds out a tissue. It’s crumpled, and torn, but clean. Hawks takes it with a thankful gasp, pitching forward with a harsh double “hHZShh-EZSHh!” into the soft folds, before finally blowing his nose and putting a stop to the attack. 

“That,” Dabi says, a glimmer of greed in his eyes, accentuated by mischief, “Was disgusting.” 

There’s a tone that Hawks can’t quite place, until he glances down. 

“Oh?” It’s congested to all hell, but the teasing nature of it remains squarely in tact. 

“Not a word, bird brain,” Dabi retorts, leaning forward for another kiss. 

Hawks pulls away just before their lips meet, giving Dabi a mischievous grin. “Is that why you were so worried about catching this? Gonna make for some embarrassing moments with the league.” 

“I stand by what I said. You better not fucking get me sick.” 

“hH’eNGxt! Hey, you’re the one kissing me, hot stu-” 

“Oh shut up.” 

Hawks does as he’s told, wrapping his hands around Dabi’s waist and pulling him in close for another greedy kiss. Of the facts about this hothead that he’s learned? This is hardly the most interesting. And hey, maybe this cold can be useful for something after all.

[tgwdlmreprised]

you know i've watched a lot of starkid musicals but i'm a way more casual fan so i have just enough knowledge to understand a decent chunk of what you're posting about most of the time (except nightmare time, i only ever watched the first one so all that knowledge is purely through you lol) but also i'm not into it enough to get into the fandom so like. wtf do you MEAN people are giving bill traits to ted,,, the other major tgwdlm characters clearly Do Not Like ted besides like charlotte, and paul is not an exception,,, there is not even a moment of 'ohfuck they got ted' from paul, but he is clearly upset over bill,,, maybe i should be glad you're my only look into the fandom i don't have the energy to throw hands jfc let the black man have his character PLEASE,,,

its so insane i laid it all out in that post but yeah there is a weird tendency the fandom has of making ted out to be this "Trying to be better person, a better brother/parent to his "little" (18 year old btw) brother than their actual parents + him and paul are actually long time besties and just have like playful ribbing i guess is what you would call that???" type of character when that character (trying to be a better father, not implying bill is a bad dad but a big part of the strain on him and alice's relationship is both their unwillingness to actually listen to the other) plus he and paul are ACTUALLY long time buddies literally each others best friends and theres a lot to unpack on how that term has gotten stretched out to this point because theyre kinda not? theyre each others lifelines but paul is kinda a dick to paul not intentionally like ted is to everyone but he only sticks his neck out for him really when its literally a matter of life and death but their camraderie and care for each other is still there clearly

also ted just being like. petes surrogate father is HILARIOUS considering their one interaction together was ted abandoning pete in the middle of the woods and driving away like this

and it just blows my mind because oh you want an older guy trying to be a better father figure to their teen kid, fights tooth and nail to keep them safe + shipping fuel ? yeah bill woodward is right effing there but naaah who gaf about that guy. when the whole joke is bro. ted sucks he is an asshole NOBODY LIKES charlottes cheating on her husband with him and she doesnt even seem to care about him all that much, hes one of many men shes sleeping with just because she misses her husband and he treats her like shit. paul openly does not like him and doesnt even make eye contact with him in their first scene together. bill ONLY invites him out to workin boys because alice and paul turned him down. he is such a skeez he doesnt even need to be possessed or influenced by god to be cursed in every timeline because hes such a selfish dick fueled by toxic masculinity which makes him deeply unlikable to everyone around him

yes all of that makes a good character but no amount of fix it fics or washing away all the bad parts and then plugging in OTHER CHARACTERS good parts makes them a good PERSON.

in conclusion just write a bill story instead
