one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

What's crazy is that Barristan has the character development that people pretend Jaime has but because he supports Dany and doesn't spend all of his page time talking/thinking about how evil Targaryens are, it gets ignored

How do you think about Frepper? I'm neutral about this ship, but the fans Frepper attitude towards confuses me, Ivy and Freckle have only been dating for a week and know each other superficially, but everyone already thinks that by the end of the comic they will get married, I think differently, I think that in the end they will break up with each other because they are too different personalities, I literally can't imagine that both of them will be happy with each other in marriage, Ivy is assertive and active, on the other hand Freckle is passive and just agrees with Ivy, this is not a guarantee of a healthy relationship where a partner completely dominates the other, plus to all that, I will not forget how their relationship started, Ivy just decided that they were dating, and without asking Freckle's permission, she just KISSED him, again without his permission, Frepper fans think that it's cute, but when I saw it, I thought "what the hell did I just see?", in general, it's strange for me that Frepper fans are okay with such things, of course later Freckle shows attraction to Ivy, showing that he likes her in some way too, but I still won't forget how their relationship started and how Freckle used to try to escape from Ivy when she squeezed his hand tightly and forced him to her …

I'm not against Frepper, but I don't understand his fans who don't see these issues and who treat other points of view on their relationship (like mine) as … um, as nonconformity? Fans from reddit are just obsessed with Frepper, I don't know about other networks but that's how it is on reddit, I think there are people who have my opinion but are afraid to say it because of fans, of course, I met Frepper fans there who normally accept such an opinion, but still there is a feeling that such a opinion cannot be told

Simply put, Ivy and Freckle are a couple that will eventually break up with each other unless there's an event between them in the comic that changes my opinion of this couple, but that's how I feel about Freckle for now. I didn't plan to express my opinion, but it happened that way, I hope you don't mind it

first and foremost, i don’t mind seeing someone express their opinion in my inbox! you and anyone else are free to do so, even if i may disagree. this blog’s entire existence was made for me to share my opinions ( and love! ) for lackadaisy, as well as engaging with other fans, because what else is the point of a fandom blog? and as far as i’m aware, this is unpopular opinion central! most of my thoughts aren’t exactly the ones with the most voice behind them i’ve found, so i welcome all manner of different views. every fan is entitled to their own perspectives and opinions, and should be allowed to share them as they please! but with that disclaimer out of the way, i’m more than willing to discuss frepper in its entirety.

for me, there’s little confusion i carry where it concerns this ship’s popularity amongst the fandom. freckle and ivy, if we are to strip them down to their bare essentials, are a rather stereotypically ‘cute’ relationship : people enjoy opposites ( see zibwick or vikdecai for example ) and there’s an endearing quality found in puppy love dynamics. seeing ivy wear the pants and drag a shy freckle around by his ankle makes for quality content in a way! think the ‘excuse me, but he asked for no pickles!’ meme … ivy and freckle very much fit that sort of mold, and it helps that most fans are too scared to ship them with other characters in the cast too, due to what they perceive to be a lack of options. thus, frepper is an extremely ‘safe’ ship! you cannot get in trouble for enjoying something that is not only canon, but is relatively adorable ; and so i don’t believe a lot of the fans are actually thinking too deeply about the likely endgame of it all. most don’t! it’s fun to ship, and that’s all they really need i think. it’s also very easy to dismiss ivy’s forwardness as a quirk of being a young girl who’s of her temperament, recklessly boycrazy although still carrying sweet intent. this behavior is easier to hand wave when neither ivy or freckle are experienced at the dating scene as well … freckle due to his extremely religious upbringing and hermit nature, and ivy because of viktor’s constant meddling, which would hold her back more than you’d think. with that said, i don’t think any of this is excessively complicated. some shippers are rather simple minded and do not care for details and characterization all too deeply. enjoying dynamics is, at its core, supposed to be fun -- which makes simple ships like frepper prime targets for a very vocal and tight knit fanbase. there are other things i could speculate about why these two may hit so pleasantly for others, like how there’s an underlying queer theme to it ( what with ivy being the pursuer and freckle the shy, blushing flower ) or that it’s tropey enough to hit the right spots for others … though it all boils back to mere speculation. perhaps they still have time to escape this gangster lifestyle and live happily ever after? and that appeals to the lackadaisy fans who still want some sort of happy ending? it’s all a combination of frepper being easy, i think, and containing two young cats who still haven’t done anything particularly ‘unforgivable’ yet action wise. this is a ship you can root for without an ounce of worry in your heart, and so on and so forth.

but although i understand why others are so vocal about them, i don’t exactly agree with fanon’s views either! while i heavily enjoy frepper, i enjoy them as they are, and that includes their looming flaws and inevitable tragedy. they are bound to break each other’s hearts a lot on their current path ; even if they were entirely perfect for one another, this lifestyle isn’t kind to anyone, meaning if they don’t separate, they could always be forced apart via bullets and such anyway. they are young and woefully inexperienced in a manner of things, the last thing they need is the stress of a rumrunner life driving their every action, you know? i know people see them getting out together, and that is likely on the table! i do see that in many ways, but i’m also of the opinion that ivy and freckle will diverge onto different paths at some point and temporarily call it quits. from where the comic currently stands and given my view on ivy’s arc, i see her growing disillusioned with where she is and the honor and fun she saw within it as a royal spectator will fade ; she will become wary, fearful, and her resilience will die … meanwhile freckle will embrace it, similar to his cousin, fully understanding what it is and what he’s getting into ( like rocky, again ) but being unable to leave his refuge. i know lots of people think freckle will leave the lackadaisy first, but given his old concepts and former title as one of mitzi’s ‘trouble boys’, i think he will become lost in the sauce for a myriad of reasons. frankly i enjoy that twist on their relationship! since i believe ivy’s character development will revolve around maturing, changing as time stretches forward, because her character is ever growing, what with her entire schtick being the fact she’s everything a 1920s girl was during those times. she embodies that unladylike youth and manipulative sweetness, so i’d imagine a lot of her path is falling from such naive thrill seeking and stumbling upon a harsh reality. she will mature, and the very thing that should make their relationship stronger will be what divides them indefinitely. everything they have is founded on this bloody, varnished soaked ground after all … they are young adults who are experiencing what closeness feels like outside of family or platonic friends for the first time, so naturally they will overindulge in their own amateur games ; find respite in the boogie and kiss like couples do on the silver screen, laugh about it, talk about everything and nothing at all … relish in each other’s warmth and stupidly loyal protection. i’m sure frepper will grow closer before any falling out, because as it stands, it’s one of the few things they have in such a scary situation that feels comforting and kind. they will impact each other in the fundamental ways first relationships do and, to move towards your biggest gripe, do things they’ll regret or allow things to happen to them that they’re not entirely okay with.

ivy is very forceful with freckle initially, albeit in her typical saturated way ; and i can see why that would be hard to parse! especially when freckle spends a majority of their first scenes together squirming away and hiding, trying to duck her affections and bolt for it. there is a lot of boundary crossing between them! but not in a necessarily malicious way … like most things with frepper, this circles back to their mutual inexperience and how, in a lot of ways, this is their first ‘serious’ romantic relationship ever. and it’s rather common for such firsts to involve gray areas, since neither party is entirely sure of what their own boundaries are just yet! while freckle did appear frightened by ivy at first, it’s important to note that tracy’s mentioned him having a flight response whenever girls flirt with him … he is prone to run away instinctively, which if you consider his extremely religious upbringing, isn’t exactly a surprise. nina would no doubt look down upon freckle engaging with girls his age due to what most girls his age are currently doing in the roaring 20s they’re living in. sneaking out and engaging in illegal activities, dancing in a way that would disgust most of the more traditional and older generation, casually engaging in any manner of sexual activity before marriage, etc etc. and this isn’t even listing freckle’s cagey nature due to an incident we know was bad enough to send rocky packing for years, and fundamentally changed freckle himself at such a young and impressionable age. he is … very troubled! and rather scared of himself and the world around him … at this stage in life, freckle is perpetually unable to make any progress towards anything he may want, and so i have little problem myself with ivy mostly taking the lead. when left to his own devices and allowed to choose outside of influence, freckle did in fact sneak out of his mother’s house to go to the lackadaisy, surely well aware that ivy’s intention had been romantically inclined. so, to me, he has always liked her ; perhaps found her cute, in a shallow way, saw her eccentric behavior as endearing and frightening in equal measure, and while he’s still wading into this whirlwind pool unsteady and shaken, he -- wouldn’t mind it if ivy pushed a little more, or moved him around to her ( and what she perceives to be, their ) liking. perhaps this dynamic is familiar enough to him that it becomes comforting, since rocky was very much the same way in their adolescence. tugging freckle around and pulling his tail for whatever rocky wanted them to do, with little care for whatever his baby cousin desired at the time, ignoring his protests and chasing him ; nobody’s at fault here either, kids are extremely self absorbed and this is a flaw they’ll usually mature past, and while ivy and freckle are adults during the comic, i don’t think ivy’s outgrown this linear view on things just yet. she is extremely entitled! she is used to being the apple of everyone’s eye at the speakeasy due to her jazz baby status as atlas may’s goddaughter, and this gangster connection excites and awes the ladies she attends classes with at her university too. ivy pepper is used to getting her way and this has only fueled her determined attitude, her ‘pull it up by the bootstraps’ mindset, and in many ways, this is something of a flaw for her. it’s not bad to be confident and headstrong, although when you add that into a dangerous mix of rumrunning and gunslinging, it may become a problem rather quickly. but i digress! point is, ivy and freckle are hardly at fault for the awkward way they handled the start of their relationship, when it’s so new and fresh to them both.

neither of them have boundaries at this moment, as they either have no clue what those are or simply haven’t realized they should set them. so, in turn, there are things that the other may do that could cause their partner discomfort … and it’s mostly done out of obliviousness and good intentions and your classic dose of intense affection. doesn’t mean it isn’t messed up to a degree, but i think it’s rather realistic, and is a hard truth that comes with many first relationships of that sort. sometimes you don’t know how to say ‘no,’ or you agree and regret agreeing later, or perhaps you simply don’t understand there’s certain things you aren’t ready for or genuinely just don’t like. again, it’s a very muddied area, and the two of them are vaguely navigating what is mostly foreign to them. they’re bound to mess up! so i ivy some slack here, and applaud tracy on the realistic writing more than anything usually. young love also happens to be a great device to use for inexperienced characters finding themselves, through the good and bad of their relationship, and frepper is all about that. maybe freckle will inevitably bring up how he feels like he would’ve preferred it had ivy asked him out properly, or gave him time to court her in a traditional fashion … and she will be surprised ( and a little wounded ) by this, since she had never considered it before … too used to her way of things to realize there’s another path they could take. i think this aspect of the relationship is important, and i can understand wishing that more frepper shippers would view it as such, or comment on it's morally gray nature without just calling it ‘cute’ and leaving it at that.

tldr : they will most certainly break up at some point, maybe even multiple times! tracy has said before that they both have some serious maturing to do if their relationship is to be long lasting, and i doubt that maturing will happen to them both at once … since they have different things to work on emotionally. but they will probably strongarm some major personal development within each other, as well as love one another with a fierceless abandon that most kids do. i could see them getting married, i could see them not, but i agree that if they were to be wed happily, they’d have significant hurdles to overcome. but personally, frepper is something i adore mostly due to the impact they’re bound to cause each other, and even if they are to separate and find someone new and more fitting, they’ll always remember one another -- perhaps fondly, and sadly, and with some anger. a time they’d like to forget, but a person they’d like to remember … which is my cup of tea overall! they much more interest me as they presently are anyway, where i can fiddle around with their budding romance and friendship bonding. and as lackadaisy grows in popularity, i do hope there’s more frepper fans who see their complexity and flaws and explore them with all of it in mind.

anyway! i hope this was coherent, and that it was obvious that i agreed with you for the most part. i haven’t really talked about frepper before with anyone so many of these thoughts sort of burst out of me! and i feel like i have more to elaborate upon, but for the sake of simplicity i kept this short. oh well! surely this is enjoyable and informative regardless.

The Demon of Yunmeng: Part Five

Part One — Part Four

Wei Wuxian looked up at Wen Qing, bewildered.

"Well, that's settled then," she said, standing up. "I'll leave you two to discuss things — there's a few quick errands I need to run. I would ask that you please not leave before I return, I have parting words for you both."

She gave a perfunctory bow, then swept out the door, ignoring Wei Wuxian's protests. She didn't even tell him to get back in his chair.

There was really no other choice but to look back at Lan Zhan, who's ears were red, but face was set.

"You do realize my plan involves lying, right?" Wei Wuxian finally said.

"Not lying to say I was with you that night."

"Yeah but —" he made a frustrated noise. "Lan Zhan, that is actually incredibly helpful, but my whole idea was to create doubt that I even liked women at all! That I was always a cutsleeve. You know that it's not just Yu Guniang's accusations, they're bringing in women from everywhere I've ever been, from the campaign, I can't say you happened to be there every time!"

"...Was usually on the same front as you. Stayed in the same camps."

He gaped at Lan Zhan, who was completely failing to mention the reason that was true was because Hunguang-Jun had persistently shadowed him to keep an eye on his demonic cultivation. Far more bizarre, he also appeared to be suggesting that they build an elaborate lie around that fact.

"You want to go in front of the cultivation world and say we were sneaking around together the entire sunshot campaign?" Wei Wuxian asked in disbelief. "That I couldn't have possibly been raping women indiscriminately because I was too busy taking your dick up my ass?"

Lan Wangji made a choked noise, red crawling up his neck, hands tightening over his knees as he looked away.

"Yeah, Wen Qing suggested I say that I was the 'receiving partner,'" Wei Wuxian said, viciously twisting the knife, tugging at the hem of Lan Zhan's robes to get his attention.

"If... it increases the chance for Yu Guniang to get justice..." Lan Wanjii said, still not meeting his eyes. "If it would protect Wei Ying..."

Wei Wuxian gaped once again in baffled disbelief. "You're going to lie. In front of everyone. About years of our lives. About sex. You're going to lie about having sex with me in front of a crowd."

"...Between the two of us, no one would expect me to do the speaking."

That was actually a pretty good point, and he paused for a moment to consider it. "So what, I would say all the crazy stuff and you would stand next to me, occasionally interjecting about something that actually did happen?"

"Mn."

"Like I'd say 'I couldn't possibly have been with your daughter that night, I was too busy sucking Lan Zhan's dick, and you would stand there, not arguing, not saying lying is forbidden?"

"Mn." The red of Lan Zhans neck and ears had crept around to his cheekbones.

"Fuck, that could actually work," he muttered.

"Wei Ying."

"What?"

"...Please get off the ground."

He laughed somewhat maniacally. "What," he cooed. "Is this too provocative a position, considering the subject matter?" He leered, batting his eyes and pulling himself closer.

"Wei Ying," Lan Wangji hissed, face twisting towards anger.

"This is exactly what I mean!" Wei Wuxian put his hands on top of Lan Zhan's, who pulled back as if burnt, which only meant Wei Wuxian was able to grab his knees instead, which he leaned heavily on to half pull himself up. "How are you going to pull off being my cultivation partner when you don't even like being near me?" he asked, not without humor. "I would at least have to touch you, Lan Zhan! You hate being touched." He squeezed Lan Zhan's knees for emphasis.

Lan Wangii set his jaw, hands visibly tightening where they were clutched to his chest. "I can do it." he grit out.

Wei Wuxian snorted, then stood.

Lan Zhan's moment of relief quickly faded as Wei Wuxian dropped into the man's lap. "Wei Ying!" His hands shot forward quick as lightning, grabbing the demonic cultivator's hips and holding him so far away he practically fell off, preventing him from sliding inappropriately closer.

He leaned in, grabbing at the front of Lan Zhan's robes. "Just give it up," he said, exacerbated. "There's absolutely no way anyone will believe the two of us are cultivation partner's — look, you are literally holding me at arm's length right now!" He shifted, trying to get up, but Lan Wangji's grip on his waist was a bit too firm.

"Alright, so you want to contribute to justice," Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes. "You can still say you brought me to my room and I was too drunk for anything! I think it will really help. Between that, this blood test I invented, and maybe an unrelated cutsleeve thing — I don't know, I still have to talk to Wen Ning —"

Suddenly he was yanked forward, not all the way flush with Lan Wangji, but close enough to certain look intimate to outsiders. "I. will. do. it." Hunguang-Jun growled.

Once again, all he could do was stare in confused amazement at the uncharacteristic behavior. "Say, Lan Zhan," he said, growing suspicious. "You're not cursed or something right? You didn't hit your head?"

"No."

"Then why are you insisting on this?"

"..."

"Look, I admit, maybe you could pull it off, you've got a thicker face than I give you credit for — but why? Why do you even want to?"

"Wei Ying."

"What?"

"..."

"What? What, I'm listening, why do you want to do this?"

"...Yu Xiang. Cheng Cai —"

"Cheng Cai?" Wei Wuxaian asked, bewildered. He focused, but couldn't sense any curses at all. "Who's that?"

"Jin Guangshun sent out a list of women who will be attending the conference to accuse you."

He groaned. "Of course he did."

"You all deserve justice."

Wei Wuxian groaned again, letting his head fall forward onto Lan Zhan's shoulder, who had no choice but to bear it or give up. "I get it, you're too righteous for this world. You're willing to sacrifice your dignity for the greater good but Lan Zhan — I really don't think you've thought this through."

"Thought enough."

"Come on! It's not going to just be one day, you realize?" he said hysterically. "You're going to have to live with the lie for the rest of your life! No one will let you forget it! At best, you'll be a laughingstock. At worst, they'll lump you in with the worst of my crimes!"

"...Don't care."

"You don't care."

"Mn."

Wei Wuxian squinted at him. Lan Wangji stared back, face placid, is still lightly flushed at the uncomfortably prolonged physical contact. To be fair, the second jade of Lan was one of a handful of people he could believe genuinely didn't care about the opinions of others. He gave off an aura of unshakeable confidence in himself that could be mistaken for the arrogance Wei Ying actually did possess.

Despite himself, Wei Wuxian found himself genuinely considering the idea. "You're really serious about this aren't you?" he asked slowly.

"Mn."

"What about marriage? What if you want to get married to a beautiful woman one day? Your reputation will matter then!"

"Not interested," Lan Wangji said firmly.

That was... also believable. The matchmakers that were circling Jiang Cheng could be pretty terrifying, and it was easy enough to imagine the solitary Lan Zhan desperately seeking a way out of sharing his life with someone. It's not like Lan Sect would approve a marriage with him, so this would be a fairly effective, if explosively dramatic way to escape that particular fate.

The idea that Lan Wangji might get something personal out of this made the insane idea seem more plausible.

"I guess even if you blush the whole way through the trial," Wei Wuxian mused, "Everyone might assume it's normal embarrassment at being so publicly exposed, rather than unfamiliarity or discomfort."

"Don't blush," Lan Wangji grit out.

"Ha!" Wei Wuxian laughed. "Practicing your lying skills early, huh Lan Zhan?" He reached forward, boldly grabbing Lan Zhan's red ear and tweaking it.

Again, to Lan Zhan's credit, he didn't push Wei Wuxian away or protest the excessive contact. Even if all he did was stand there like a jade statue while Wei Ying shamelessly draped himself against his body, well. Like the talking, it wasn't that far removed from how people would imagine a relationship between them would work, if one were crazy enough to imagine such a thing.

A knock came at the door, and the two tensed.

"It's me," Wen Qing called.

Wei Wuxian relaxed. "It's your office, open the door yourself."

She stepped inside, raising an eyebrow at the position the two of them were in. "That was faster than I thought," she said dryly.

Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes, squirming to get comfortable. Lan Zhan's grip tightened almost painfully, pushing him back to maintain a slightly respectable distance between their torsos.

"Just making sure Lan er-Gongzi knows what he's getting into," Wei Wuxian said smugly.

Wen Qing snorted. "Right, about that — I've got something for you two." She placed a tightly sealed jar on the table.

"What is it?" Wei Wuxian asked, craning his head over his shoulder. Lan Zhan obligingly turned to the side, seeming too afraid of what Wei Wuxian might do if he let him go to risk it.

"Red Seaweed Oil," she said, settling across the table. "It's good for internal use."

It took a second for that to sink in, then Wei Wuxian felt heat crawl up his face. "Haha," he laughed nervously. "That's very...thorough of you, Wen Qing, but I don't think anyone will be searching our belongings, or um...asking for a demonstration."

Wei Wuxian didn't have a lot of practice sitting on other people's laps, so it was an interesting experience feeling Lan Zhan's legs turn to literal jade beneath him as he presumably tightened every muscle in his body in distress. The flush and slight widening of eyes was practically a scream of alarm by anyone else's standards.

"Okay," he said, deciding to take pity on the poor repressed monk. He reached down, prying Lan Wangii's fingers off his hips. "I think this point has been made." Lan Zhan finally let go, and he swung himself back to the other seat.

He turned, facing Wen Qing. "Why are you giving us this," he asked, exacerbated.

She stared at him with a level gaze. "I like to think I know you fairly well at this point, Wei Wuxian."

He snorted "I'd say you're in the top five of people who know me, Wen Qing."

"I know what you're like."

"Yes?"

Wen Qing glanced for a long moment at him, then at Lan Zhan, then sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "If you actually were a cutsleeve, and the secret was finally out in the open, when would you start shamelessly cracking jokes about it to make people uncomfortable?"

"Immediately and then forever," Wei Wuxian said promptly.

"Do you think you would be able to resist digging through your belongings, leaving an object out, and then pounce viciously on whoever was foolish enough to ask?"

He picked up the jar, considering. "Say," he said, possibilities of a whole new realm of pranks opening before his eyes. "Do you happen to have any of those replica phalluses in town?"

A very faint choking noise came from the chair to his side.

"Buy your own," Wen Qing said curtly. "We don't have many specialty merchants come through here."

"Hmph," he leaned back in his chair, finding he lacked the desire to look Lan Zhan in the face. He glanced over anyway. The flush had faded completely, leaving the man's blank face utterly devoid of color.

Wei Wuxian grinned. "You know," he said innocently. "Along that line of thought — it would really help the credibility of my words if you could finish explaining what we were talking about earlier."

"My thoughts exactly," she said, pulling a sheet of parchment and a quill to the center of her desk and beginning to draw a series of curved lines with swift elegant movements.

"This," she said, after a moment. "Is the median raphe. It is sometimes considered an erogenous zone. In addition to being highly painful, abrasions or other injuries that break the skin here come with an increased likelihood of infection."

"I thought we were going to talk about stretching," Wei Wuxian complained.

"I'm getting to that." She pointed with the quill to another wrinkled line. "This is the anal fold. It is sometimes considered an erogenous zone. In addition to being highly painful, abrasions or other injuries that break the skin here come with an increased likelihood of infection."

"I'm noticing a theme."

"Good." She pointed again. "This is the rectum. "It is sometimes considered..."

He glanced to the side. Lan Wangji, who had never avoided listening to a lecture in his life, was staring at the drawing with absolute focus, white knuckled hands on his knees the only give away to his distress. At some point after Wei Wuxian had moved he had crossed one leg over the over, and his ears were once again bright red.

Wei Wuxian sighed, then smiled, unable to help himself. It wasn't the first time he had to...dissuade Lan Zhan away from a stupidly single-minded determination to do what he had unilaterally decided was the 'right' course of action.

Lan Zhan might have gotten even more stubborn over the years, but that wasn't any reason the process of breaking him couldn't be as fun as when they were fifteen.

btw its interesting the way james tries to imply that like. well the videos that have plagiarism are the ones our dumb stupid annoying patrons requested about bad topics that didnt deserve to have the effort put in to covering them well so basically its fine. like obv thats interesting on its own but moreso the fact that he doesnt actually /say/ it, or like. give a list of the videos hes referring to, just says "those videos are very clear on which ones they were" i think as a nod meaning like "yknow the ones everyones talking about". unless what hes meaning is that like they put a note in certain videos saying "this video was requested by a patron, we here at james somertom incorporated do not espouse these views" which seems unlikely to me. idk methinks maybe it's because there is indeed a lot more than people think and with all the buzz he's not sure which ones have been discovered yet or not, so putting down a solid list that missed some would look like he was still hiding things whereas putting down a fully sourced list would be admitting to wayyyy more than anyone's found yet
