#and I’m not that into the green dye either but I like that the pants aren’t the same color

[aro-tarot]

I see the new patch is out for BG3. Good that the ghosts shouldn’t be as fucking annoying on balanced mode. That was the most annoying side quest. I had everyone in the party seeing invisible, and they were still all invisible and just wouldn’t stop. It was so annoying. Like, on higher difficulty, sure, I’d expect that, but I thought Rachael and like one of the other harder fights or more to be easier than that side quest lol

Also, I’m hoping the dyes still look alright? I saw people want them more intense in color, but now they’ve implemented that. I’m already picky with the dyes as it is, but I prefer dull colors. Intense colors just kind of bother me. I don’t like looking at them, and now I might be more limited to the already limited ones to begin with.

[magicalgirlmascot]

May or may not have been inspired to create the KNPS Toa in Hero Forge. Probably also gonna do the Turaga. I’m def curious as to your thoughts on everyone’s appearances, wanna see how what I have so far compares.

I am in TEARS please please please show me when you're done!!!

I've been kind of deliberately vague about their appearances in the fic itself because last time I wrote a big long human!Bionicle fic where I was more specific about their appearances I. wound up hating it later lol. I will say though that my Bionicle Sports Anime designs aren't necessarily what I have in mind when writing! (Those are mostly just for drawing Bionicle fanart without having to draw robots and possible eventual comic reasons.)

I do have some stuff in mind, though! I'm putting it under a readmore because it wound up getting fairly long lol

Tahu: redhead, toned and fairly beefy on account of the MMA but not like dehydrated about it, jeans, t-shirts, and button-downs with the sleeves rolled up kinda guy

Kopaka: my brother thinks he should be albino but I'm on the fence there, either way he does have blue eyes and light hair cut pretty short, glasses, tall and thin

Gali: petite, curly hair usually pulled back from her face, wears a lot of long, flowy clothes (cardigans, skirts, etc.)

Onua: short af, fat, muscular, hairy, I've made Gimli jokes before but I honestly do picture him looking like Senshi DungeonMeshi with less beard, almost exclusively wears black jeans, glasses are not prescription but to help with his light sensitivity

Pohatu: tall, runner's build (muscular legs, kind of average weight distribution tbh), thick brown hair that he's been growing out, tends towards muted colours and earth tones

Lewa: fucking beanpole, tall, thin, and gangly, hair is a bird's nest 99% of the time and he has given up trying, wears green almost to the complete exclusion of other colours, loves himself some good cargo pants

Vakama: glasses and tidy beard, greying hair, middling height, wears a lot of old man sweaters/cardigans

Nokama: taller than Matau but shorter than Vakama, hair is going grey but she dyes it, carries herself with grace and poise, it's. I do picture Lucretia Adventurezone a little bit while writing her ngl

Matau: short!!! absolute manlet and either mad about it or chill with it depending on which is funnier in context, wears loud shirts

Onewa: was not a cane user at the start of the story but is one now on account of his bad back, growing his beard out, worst case of resting bitch face you've ever seen, decently tall

Whenua: tallest Turaga, thick glasses, has worn a dress shirt and tie to work every day for the last 20+ years and isn't going to stop now even if his husband makes fun of him for it >:(

Nuju: average height, long fingers, went white by age 35 (claims it's from stress but it just runs in the family, Kualus was also fully white by 35 and Matoro probably will be too), dresses nicely but not a full shirt and tie like some people

Also you didn't mention them but bonus characters bc I've been thinking about them:

Takua: built like Lewa (tall and gangling), dyes his hair blue, fashion choices are "the colours gave me a headache so I bought it immediately"

Jaller: short king, blonde, probably the most athletic kid in the class

Hahli: shorter than Takua but still pretty tall, wears jeans and sturdy clothes, solidly built

Krahka: I mean sometimes she's a fox and sometimes she's got six arms and tits the size of her head, she can look however she wants

Again please please show me when you're done!!!! I would like to see it

[critterzpace]

am i allowed to draw a critter/make a critter character :0

if i am, what features make them a critter? what do they look like, what kinds of clothes are popular in critter culture, what traits are common among most critters, what do their homes look like? if i’m not allowed to, either don’t respond to this ask or respond and say no. i’ll respect whatever you want ^^

this blog makes me so happy thank you for making it :]

Thank you!!! Of course you’re allowed to make a critter!!

So critters are- well they’re sort of like- sorry I’m bad at describing things, hold on-

tell me if I like- did this wrong-

-critters are short humanoids (in the sense that they stand on two legs, have two arms, etc). They are fluffy :}

-critters have bat-like ears on either the top or sides of their head

-critters fur color can vary from shades of green, orange, or brown, and they often have lighter spots on their fur.

-critters have cat-like noses, eyes, and mouths.

-they have digitgrade (animal-like) legs, and they also have large paws and claws and things.

-they have long tails that get darker in fur color and fluffier the closer to the end it gets.

-their insides are yellow!! Including their blood!!

-Their clothing varies based on where they live, but the most common clothing are colorful sweaters, comfy pants, and stuff (they keep lots of sheep!!! And flowers for dyes!!). This is because they are mostly awake during night when it’s cooler:} they also often create little accessories from random trinkets and trash they find!! They love trinkets :}c They also dye their fur sometimes!! (it’s like tattoos for them!!)

-They often live either up high in treehouses or have semi buried houses (at least when they don’t live in the city/towns) and their houses are heavily decorated with whatever that critter likes :D

[amiharana]

The champs would also have their respective weapons in the csmp,,, like mipha would have a trident and revali would have a bow and they would name them the lightscale trident etc,, idk what daruk would have, maybe an axe or something? And they would be enchanted with something close enough to their powers or something their weapons do in botw?? (Idk bc I’m not very knowledgeable in minecraft enchantments)

I FUCKIN. PREMATURELY SENT THIS POST AT FIRST SO I HAD TO PUT IT ON POST PRIVATELY GOD HAHAHA

but yessss link with a fully enchanted netherite Master Sword PERIODDD i have no idea what daruk would have either because i don't really know how to classify the boulder breaker into a real-life weapon bc it's like if you made a sledgehammer in style of a sword, but an axe i think would be close enough? daruk would probably somehow enchant a fuckin shovel and use that as a weapon tbh DKFHJDJF

i'm also not too well-versed in minecraft enchantments bc i rarely play (i really want to though i just never have the time ㅠㅠ), but i'm gonna pull up the wikia rn so we can get down to business on this

zelda has like five different rooms in the castle just dedicated to enchanting like she has an entire hallway just full of enchanting rooms and libraries and shit, but each champion has at least one enchanting table. i doubt that daruk knows or cares too much about the whole bookshelf-to-enchantment ratio thing bc i barely know how it works either, but revali and link have the second largest amount of enchantment rooms and be enchanting like crazy. all of their armor and weapons are fully enchanted, they even have an enchanted diamond hoe like 😭

link's netherite master sword would have knockback, sharpness, and maybe looting. revali is always bothering him to get mending or unbreaking because link breaks shit frequently, and link will only use a weapon with mending/unbreaking because revali forcibly enchanted it for him <3

revali's great eagle bow would have feather falling, infinity, multishot, and unbreaking. i considered the other bow enchantments but i think these are the best choices for revali until he decides to change it up.

mipha's lightscale trident has aqua affinity, depth strider, loyalty, and of COURSE, riptide. what is mipha if not her epic waterfall climbing abilities.

daruk's boulder breaker (axe?) would have fire aspect, efficiency, and sharpness for sure. MAYBE silk touch for gems and shit but he mostly doesn't care that much for enchantments

urbosa's scimitar of the seven would have smite, sharpness, knockback, and mending. i'm not sure if shields can be enchanted to the same degree but probably would have like. mending or unbreaking on it at least.

i'm thinking since zelda's primarily a magic user (and as far as i'm concerned the closest thing to magic would be potions in minecraft), she would at least have either an enchanted sword or pickaxe. it has silk touch, fortune, mending, and unbreaking.

these bitches definitely do enchantment pranks like putting curse of binding on leather pants and making revali wear them so he can't take them off. revali dyes an entire set of leather armor green with a curse of binding on every piece of clothing calling it the "set of thet wild" and makes link wear it lol

[courtofmatchups]

Heya, I believe you may actually know me from Instagram as I think we are mutuals :)

Anyways, I wanted to see if you were okay with giving me a matchup !!

So my name is Lilith, I’m bi but for this I’d rather be matched with one of the boys, and I use she/her pronouns (but I don’t overly mind they/them pronouns either.) I’m a little shy and touch starved, I can be easily frightened by sharp and harsh behaviour, and I’m relatively fragile and sensitive to small things too. I don’t like loud or sudden noises or movements, as I can be frightened by those as well. I’m quite an introvert and stay away from the crowd, and find a lot of peace in my own company. If I get close to someone I can be clingy or over protective, but I keep that to myself because I find it an annoying trait of mine.

I’m creative and enjoy things like art, I ride horses and love being around them too, and I absolutely adore cats. I have three cats myself and a dog, but I’m not that fond of my dog because he’s a little too loud for me sometimes.

I’m polite to everyone I talk to, but I’m not that talkative in the first stages because I won’t be comfortable yet. I won’t ever be rude to anyone unless I can get extremely angry, but I don’t do much more than snap back a little. Keep in mind this is an extremely rare occurrence, I don’t really feel angry like that. When I’m comfortable talking to someone, I talk a lot and can tend to ramble. However I lose confidence quickly if they don’t seem interested, and I will go quiet again. I’m pretty much a perfectionist and always want to do my best, or how things should be in my head. I can get upset if they don’t turn out how I thought they would. To add onto that I also find I’m a people pleaser, and want others’ approval.

I’m a pretty boring girl, I don’t hang around with people and go out all the time like most others my age do, I’m happy to stay home and listen to music or draw. I’m a fan of the whole dark academia or Victorian/gothic/vampire aesthetic, this I based my ocs on.

I don’t tend to look positively on things because they often do go wrong in my case, which gives me a pessimistic view on most things. However whenever my friends are upset and need comfort, I always come up with a optimistic result for them.

As for fashion, I like things like cargo pants with oversized T shirts. I wear a lot of jewellery such as rings and necklaces, or maybe bracelets too. I also like nature-like colours for example green, brown or maybe black too. Occasionally also some greys and whites. I also do like certain types of Lolita fashion, but I don’t think I’d actually wear anything like that in real life.

I have quite a sarcastic sense of humour, and I tend to communicate a lot through dry sarcasm. But only really if I’m comfortable enough to do so. I also really like wearing perfume, and it’s refreshing to think I smell nice. I don’t want to leave the house without putting on some sort of perfume.

I have a determination to dye my hair a dark/deep red later in the summer, and I feel as though that would suit me.

So to conclude, some things I like are: cats, horses, any kind of calming animal to be around, art and drawing, history, salty things, hot chocolate and chocolate milk, baking, writing, music, snow, rain, thunderstorms, cold weather, Viennese whirls, tea, anything nostalgic, stuffed animals, calm people

Dislikes: loud or jumpy dogs, coffee, mint, anything spicy or too sweet or sour (can’t stand the taste), mornings, hot weather, spiders and bugs, uncertainty, most people, especially boisterous ones, disapproval from others

I believe that’s some basic stuff about me, and I hope this helps you find someone ^^

It seems to me that you have captured the heart of...

The Loyal Maladroit:

Tino Maes

(A/N: when I say this has been sitting in my inbox forever 💀)

Hear me out: Tino would be the most understanding of you since he's pretty experienced with highly sensitive people (*couch*Lynt*cough*). He quite understands your dislike of loud noises and sudden movements (he's seen how stress-inducing that shit is firsthand fuck you Daan), so he tries to keep those to a minimum. If he does let that slip when he panics, he will apologize to you afterward when he calms down.

You weren't that talkative the first time the two of you met, but as time passed, you noticed he went out of his way to help you in any way he could. You were often alone, so he would strike up a conversation, and if those mad fangirls were ever harassing you (let's be honest, those mfs won't leave anyone be), he would de-escalate the situation for you. At first, it came from the base-level kindness in his heart, but as he came to know you more, he couldn't help but be curious about you. At least subconsciously, someone who makes themselves smaller has quite a lot more to their personality than they let on. In turn, you were becoming more attached to him too. Understandable since he genuinely seemed interested in you. And he is. He appreciates you for your personality and interests

As for your hobbies, he would be very fascinated by them. I headcanon that the members of the House of Maes should have some iota of an interest in art, but even without that, he would be interested in the art you make. I highly doubt he would tire of hearing you ramble about the things that interest you

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

"Lilith, are you here?" Tino calls from outside your chamber

"Yeah, come in," you reply

Tino came in with two mugs of hot chocolate looking quite worried. He told you about the magical thunderstorm that would come in about half an hour. He was a bit surprised to know you actually enjoy them, despite your aversion to loud noises. He supposes there is just something calming about relaxing in someplace cozy as a thunderstorm went on outside. He sat down next to you, putting the mugs of hot chocolate on the nightstand.

"Pardon me if I'm being intrusive, but you seem a little bit down today. Would you like to talk about it?" You told him that this week hasn't been all that good. You've been drained as hell, but you still had to go on with your work for the week. Almost everything you did for either your friends or for schoolwork wasn't up to your normal standard. And just today you nearly failed a potion, and Toa seemed disappointed. Logically, you knew that Toa understands that this rarely happens, but still, that incident stung.

Huh. So this is how you feel whenever Tino worries that he's disappointed someone. You've been there for him whenever he felt down and he was there for you, and now will be no different.

"Thank you for telling me, Lilith," he said. "You must know that I commend you for all the hard work you do. I suppose coming here with the mugs of hot chocolate was a good idea."

You smiled as you took a mug and snuggled with him. He would stay there holding you as long as you like

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

[lucero-is-here]

Headcanons time people! I have first of all never written or posted this much before but I’m hyped so-

Requested by:

And we’re doing Robyn Ash first! Here she is!

Again I know little about her so-

- When Piper (Robyn’s sister) was still alive, they were really close. They would make bracelets together, and Piper helped to dye Robyn’s hair. They were really close.

- people would often misspell Robyn’s name as “Robin”. Robyn has gotten pretty used to this though, and it doesn’t bother her.

- Robyn paints her nails all sorts of colours. She’d change the colour of her nails every two week. So one day her nails would be dark green, and the next two weeks they would be blue and so on!

- Robyn really likes to dance. She considered becoming a dancer one day.

- Robyn is really good at making bracelets and necklaces. She likes to buy small and pretty beads and string them together to make nice ices of jewellery. She even made matching rings once for her and Piper!

- (angst) Robyn would sometimes make jewellery she knows Piper would have loved when she was alive. And she would go to Piper’s grave, leave the jewellery there and sit next to Piper’s grave for a while, to keep Piper company.

- Robyn has a stuffed animal collection! She has a pillow pet too (blueberry cow pillow pet :3)

- Robyn plants flowers sometimes. She mainly plants hydrangeas!

- Robyn’s favourite fruit are apples and grapes.

- Robyn wears pants more often than she wears skirts/dresses.

- Robyn likes chocolate. Her favourite is milk chocolate

- Robyn is double jointed (also referred to as hyper mobility), making her extremely flexible.

- Robyn likes neon colours!

- Robyn has a nose piercing but she doesn’t wear a nose ring as much.

- Robyn used to do ballet. She was a good dancer, but eventually quit ballet. However, she has a few rewards she got when she still practiced ballet.

- Robyn has a red sweater she really really likes, since Piper crocheted it for her. Robyn still has the sweater and sleeps in it sometimes.

- Robyn gets cold easily, especially if she just stays in one spot. So she’s either constantly walking around, or has a jacket on hand in case it gets too cold.

- Robyn has a lot of hobbies. Her favourites are dancing and painting. Whenever she paints, she’s either painting some scenery or she’s painting a friend or loved one

- Robyn has good balance.

- Robyn is bisexual

- Robyn likes looking at sunsets.

- Robyn takes photos of a lot of things, from leaves to buildings to busy roads…she even has a photo album.

i sadly don’t have a lot of headcanons for her….So I might make a part 2 for this….

[purplesurveys]

1661

When was the last time you felt like “getting into someone’s pants”? No idea. I’m asexual as asexual gets, so I genuinely never feel this way...

What is your favorite energy drink, if you have a favorite at all? I don’t like the idea of energy drinks; I’m scared they’ll keep me up for 48 hours?? LOL I smelled a Red Bull once and thought nopenopenopenope.

Would you have kids with the last person you kissed? No. That would never be possible anyway.

Do you know someone who threatens to kill themselves? I know a few people who’ve made some concerning social media posts in the past. Thankfully these days everyone I know seems happier and more stable.

Would you ever completely dye your hair the color green? I definitely would. Maybe not neon green, but otherwise I have always wanted to dye my hair a dark shade of green! That had always been my first choice until I changed my mind at the last possible minute and switched to purple.

Have you ever been in a long-distance relationship before? Never been. Don’t think I have the time, energy, and effort to want to sustain one either.

What is your favorite food to eat around Christmas? My mom makes a really good macaroni salad during that time of the year which for me makes me feel more Christmassy than anything else.

Do the people in your town speak like rednecks? No...I’m not sure we even have the equivalent of ‘rednecks’ here, haha. Filipinos are a super homogenous people.

When was the last time you cried happy tears? Last week when I watched Wrestlemania and saw the results of the Usos/Sami & Zayn match. Super emotional moment considering I’ve been following the latter two since I was in grade school and they were still in the indies. I’m working now, so you can just imagine how fucking long they’ve been putting in the work.

How liberal are you? Enough for older relatives to not be too happy with my way of thinking.

Would you mind living near large predatory animals? Well. Yeah?

Have you ever experienced altitude sickness? Nah. The most I’d go through is feeling some blockage or pressure in my ears (which goes away on its own after a while), but I mean I don’t feel sick or anything like that.

What’s your biggest priority right now? Reclaiming my work-life balance while still making sure I do well at work and remain as professional as people already perceive me as.

If you’ve stayed overnight in a hospital, how did you entertain yourself? I didn’t. I was 12 at the time, it was 2010, wifi wasn’t a thing yet, there was no TV in the room, and I didn’t even own a phone. The only way I could make time fly by at the time was through sleeping off the entire hospital stay.

Are your hands unsteady? I mean I’m SURE they’re not surgeon levels of steady, but they don’t visibly shake either.

Do you listen to a lot of mainstream music? My music bubble is exclusively K-pop these days so Top 40 mainstream maybe not so much, but considering BTS pretty much qualifies as mainstream now, yes I do.

Do you think you’re pretty? Sure, most of the time I do. I’m comfortable in my skin is how I’d put it.

Have you ever added someone you don’t know on Facebook? No, I would never do that. Even if that person has 100+ mutuals, if I don’t recognize the name or profile photo I wouldn’t add them back.

Do you have dirty pictures in your phone? Nope got rid of those a long time ago.

Have you ever looked up porn on the internet? Yes.

Would you ever shoot someone right in the face? I would if it has to come to that point. Conditions have to have met the extreme though – like if you mercilessly kill any one of my dogs, murder a relative. Things like that. I imagine I’d be impossible to stop when it comes to things I’d do for revenge.

Have you ever sold drugs? Nope.

Did you ever try cutting yourself? I did and I have.

Who’s the last guy you texted? Someone from the media who’s being pushy about wanting a free fucking meal.

Who do you know that wears the most make up? Hm, maybe a few media people I know who cover the beauty/makeup beat. It’s understandable why they wear lots of makeup though hahah.

Do any of your friends have kids? A few coworkers and former ones, but I wouldn’t explicitly call them friends.

Have you ever been tied up? Sure.

How many times have you been cussed out? It’s been a handful of times.

Are you anyone’s first love? I think? I can hardly remember the life I had with my ex lmao but yeah I think I had been her first.

Have you ever had an out-of-body experience? I guess. Something like that, when I used to be depressed.

Do you have more than one personality? No.

Do you prefer gory horror films or the psychological ones? Psychological. 

Do you have a favorite YouTuber or do you not watch much YouTube? Yeah a local real-life group of friends called Team Payaman. Started getting into them around two months ago, and watching/rewatching their vlogs no matter how many times I’ve seen the videos is pretty much a daily routine for me.

Are you a good dancer? I am definitely not. 

If you could find one long-lost friend of the past, who would it be? Raegan. I wouldn’t say she’s 100% long-lost since I’ve since found her on social media and discovered she’s now a thriving, super super successful athlete (for swimming), but we haven’t kept in touch since she transferred schools back in like...‘05. She and her family always were always kind and humble to everyone even though they were very blatantly stinking, old-money rich, and I remember being bummed when I realized she moved schools starting Grade 1 cos I didn’t even get to say bye.

Was your sixth grade teacher a man or a woman? Woman.

Have you ever had any teeth pulled? Two. I have another one that I’m expecting to get pulled as well since it’s on its way to decaying like the two others that went before, but I told my dentist I’ll just wait it out til it starts hurting hahaha.

Do you wash your hair or your body first when taking a shower? I always do hair first, unless I feel SUPER icky and sticky in which case I’ll wash my body first, then my hair, then do another round of washing my body.

Have you ever lived in a house that has been broken into? Nope.

Is there someone in your life you don’t want in it? Kinda. One of my associates (I have two of them) just shared her intention to resign, so I’ve started to be on detachment mode so that I could already be well-adjusted by the time she finishes her rendering period.

How many different people of the opposite sex have you cried over? Uhm, one, I guess? When my grandpa died lol. I’ve never cried over a boy in the romantic sense.

Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with? Andi, earlier in the car.

Has anyone ever told you they were in love with you? Sure.

Pretending to “never get the text” from someone who annoys you. Is that you? Not really someone who annoys me, but I’ll sometimes use this excuse when I genuinely forget to reply to a work message that really needed a response on my end. I’ll say, “sorry I didn’t seem to receive it” or “sorry, I thought I had replied” lol.

If your ex came up to you and asked you to take them back, what would you say? That they are fucking kidding.

Do you prefer boys to shave down there? I’ve never been with a boy but generally I have no preference when it comes to hair. It’s just...hair.

How much does your mother know about your sex life (or lack thereof)? Absolutely nothing.

Do you enjoy watching cooking shows? I used to but I don’t really do that anymore. I also used to like watching cooking vlogs but I don’t do that anymore either.

Do you worry about gaining weight? Not really, no.

Have you ever seen the movie A Walk to Remember? Cliche or worth watching? I tried watching it but was cringing like 1/8 through. Same with The Notebook.

What’s one event your town has that you don’t like to participate in? Parish festivals.

Are any of your siblings married? What are their spouses’ names? None of us are even in relationships and I don’t think any of us are remotely interested in being in one. Do you like being home alone or does it freak you out? I would love to be home alone, but that hasn’t happened since my college days. I don’t think I’ll ever be home alone again any time soon (and unless I move out and start living on my own) because work/study from home things.

Did you lose friends when you started dating someone? No but I did turn into a shit friend. My friends should have ditched my ass but they have all just been too fucking kind.

[sleepdeprivedactor]

Lovely Chapter 2: Lane’s POV

I walked out of the bathroom, my hair soaked. I was wearing a red hoodie that I stole from Jake, and some gray sweatpants.

“Still no Char?” I asked. Jake frowned and shook his head. I sighed. “I’m gonna call her.” I pulled out my phone and dialed her number.

“Hello?”

“Char! Where the hell are you?” 

“I’m trying to find a parking spot. Who knew this place would be so packed?” She sounded tired. Really tired. I sighed before responding.

“Char, this is one of the most popular apartment complexes in Vermont. Of course there's no parking spots, you dingus.” 

“Shut up. I know what I’m doing. I just found a spot. Give me five and I’ll be up.” She hung up the phone. I stood up, and unlocked the door. This was going to be a long night... 

Char eventually made it up the stairs with her backpack. I hadn't seen her in a week, and she looked like a mess. The red dye in her hair was fading, and her outfit in general was just a disaster. She was wearing green army pants, black boots, and a purple sweater. She also had her classic gold glasses that framed her face. 

“You're a disaster.” Said Jake. 

“Wow Jake, really nice. You ain’t looking too hot either, but I’m not saying anything.”

“How dare you insult my boyfriend.” I say. “But seriously, what the hell happened to you?”

“Alli and Jamie happened. They were being little shits about me leaving.” She sounded exhausted. 

“I wouldn't expect that from Jamie. Alli, sure, she’s always been a little overprotective. But not Jamie.” “Well Mike ended up calling so she left and I was able to make an escape. Perks of your sister not seeing her boyfriend, she always wants to talk to him. Anyways, I'm hungry. Can we order pizza?”

“Yes. I’m starving. I think Lane should pay” said Jake with a grin. I sighed.

“Dude, I paid last time. I think Char should pay seeing we were waiting for her.”

“What! I spent all my money on gas. No way I’m paying.” Char snapped. 

“Why don't we each throw in six bucks?” Jake asked. I stared at him for a moment, before sitting down next to him and laying my head on his shoulder.

“Fine. Char, you call it in, my phone is about to die.” I said. Char pulled out her phone and dialed the closest pizza place’s number. She put in the order, and sat down next to me. 

“This is weird. Being so far away from everyone at home.”

“I know what you mean. I hate to admit it, but I kind of miss the twin’s annoying voices,” said Jake. 

“I love being away from everything. I don’t have to deal with my parents anymore. I just hope Rowan will be okay.” I said, turning to look at the two of them. Rowan’s my little brother. He’s 12 and all alone back at our house in Connecticut. I’m worried about him, but he has a phone he uses to message me with. 

“Don’t worry about Rowan. He’s a tough cookie. I’m sure he can handle himself.” said Jake, placing his hand on top of mine. I smiled slightly. I knew Rowan would be okay, but I was still worried about him. Our Dad wasn’t the most reliable, and our mom worked 24/7, so he was constantly home alone. But he was safe. As long as he was okay, I was okay.

When was the last time you cried happy tears? When we found out that Archie didn’t have cancer and wouldn’t need surgery.

What’s your biggest priority right now? Uh, I don’t know - work in general, I guess.

If you’ve stayed overnight in a hospital, how did you entertain yourself? I was concussed for most of it so I don’t remember much, ha. If I was there now, I would probably try and sleep, or just mess about on my phone or something, assuming I wasn’t in loads of pain etc.

Do you have dirty pictures in your phone? Nope.

Have you ever looked up porn on the internet? Yeah, out of curiosity and it just made me laugh lol. It’s just not attractive at all.

Do you prefer gory horror films or the psychological ones? Psychological ones.

Do you have a favorite YouTuber or do you not watch much YouTube? I only use YouTube to watch TV shows I can’t find anywhere else.

Are you a good dancer? lol, no.

Sophie - we were best friends in primary school and really close, but then her parents moved her to a different school and we lost touch. She was SO nice and her family were so lovely.

Was your sixth grade teacher a man or a woman? Woman.

Is there someone in your life you don’t want in it? No.

How many different people of the opposite sex have you cried over? That’s not really something I keep track of, lol.

Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with? My dad.

Has anyone ever told you they were in love with you? Yeah.

Pretending to “never get the text” from someone who annoys you. Is that you? Hahah, not anymore, but I definitely did that a lot when I was younger and you couldn’t track everything like you can now.

If your ex came up to you and asked you to take them back, what would you say? Are you high?

Do you prefer boys to shave down there? No, I don’t think it looks good.

How much does your mother know about your sex life (or lack thereof)? Nothing, it’s not really her business.

Do you enjoy watching cooking shows? I like cooking competition shows, but I don’t like watching shows where it’s just showing you how to make stuff.

Do you worry about gaining weight? Meh, if I was that worried, I’d improve my diet LOL.

Have you ever seen the movie A Walk to Remember? Cliche or worth watching? I’ve never seen it.

Witcher Fandom: Costume Historian Weighing In On Episode 1

my first post that’s screenshots next to art/garments they remind me of and a little commentary

Renfri

Important details to highlight:

-Wrap around top with a separate piece as the collar

-Fairly tight sleeves

Portrait of a Young Man; ca. 1508 Hans Süss von Kulmbach, German

NGL I had completely dismissed finding anything for Renfri because of how anachronistic her design seemed to me re: historical design (because of her pants and leather armor) but I was wildly delighted to find this piece. I was drawn to the similar wrap-around structure with a separate collar piece to add stability. In the painting it seems more like a jacket with sleeves that button open along the arm, but I’m still chuffed!

;) hair’s not so different either

Stregobor

Important details to highlight:

-High gathering on the sleeve head- though not a puffed sleeve

-Small ruffle on the cuffs and collar of his shirt/smock

-Unstructured overgown/surcoat (considered somewhat unfashionable/worn by old men by the 1550s)

Originally, I’d placed the silhouette much more in 1500 because of the length of the skirt on his jerkin and his wearing an overgown/surcoat but high neckline, the absence of a true puffed sleeve, and the long line of buttons pushes this forward in time

Portrait of a Man with a Rosary ca. 1508 Lucas Cranach the Elder, German

The neckline here is low compared to Stregobor but you can clearly see the kind of overgown/surcoat that Stregobor wears: they were often trimmed with fur, as in this painting, but they were typically fitted through the shoulders and loose around the body.

On the arms of the doublet, you can also see what appears to be a damask or brocade fabric- though much much subtle than Stregobor’s!

Alessandro Vittoria ca. 1580 Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari), Italian

Here we can see a sleeve much more like Stregobor’s- it’s gathered high in the head and tapers down into a slimmer fit on the forearm. We can also see the ruffles of his shirt at the cuff and collar. There’s a line down the front, and I can’t see if there’s buttons because of the image quality, but fabric or thread covered buttons to “blend in” with the garment were also made at the time!

Danek

Important details to highlight:

-Breastplate with vertical striped ornamentation

-Relatively low/smooth line to the pauldrons

-Relatively small/tight spaulders

-A low pigeon breast curve to the breastplate

-Low collared gorget

Hello I know very little about dating armor

Sir John Shurley of Isfield (1588) British Painter British

Arms and armor are hard for me to date but I feel like these look like contemporaries

Calanthe (helmet)

Important details to highlight: 

-High Ridge

-Visored

-Angled Cheekguards

Burgonet ca. 1585 Italy

If I remember correctly, this is the style of helmets worn by pikemen and cavalrymen- the ridge was to redirect the force of a direct bashing blow

Marilka

Important details to highlight:

-Straight cut to skirt

-Low neckline on her smock/chemise

-Waist is high under the bust

We don’t have many dated and easy to discern peasant outfits in the historical record- but what I really like about Marilka’s outfit is that the palette is in a natural and available dye color. Her skirt is in the range of what you can dye with madder and her coat/bodice is a mostly blue / sort of green which you can achieve by overdying woad with weld.

Juni, Brevarium Grimani, fol. 7v (Flemish)  circa 1510 

As I said above, here’s a good example of the color palette in the historical record. For the closer woman, the blue portion you can see is probably the bottom half of a kirtle which would also have a laced bodice. Marilka could be wearing a kirtle under her jacket: many didn’t have a “front” portion as we would know them- some of them had a full back and just tied across the front to accommodate different sizes. The jacket has short sleeves which would have provided additional protection from the sun and like Marilka they have a v front.

okay hello everyone I am not going to go down the rabbit hole of the history of knitting here too like I’m sorry it’s weird and complicated and hard to explain but TL;DR knit garments of the time were not like Marilka’s they were like this because of complicated political/guild reasons and also the price of labor and wool

The Knuckle Bones Crew

Important Details

-High shoulders to the jackets

-Lack of puffed sleeves, some with shoulder “wings”

-Trunks/Hose are close to the legs

The puffed sleeves generally drop from fashion in the 1560s and the puffed trunks/breeches drop in the 1570s where they become baggy and become more fitted in the 1580s. Though in the 1580s, the doublets generally had longer skirts so I’d generally place this in the 1590s.

Doublet 1605-1610 (made), 1870-1895 (altered) England

This is from a decade later- so the waist line on the jacket has risen a bit. Here you can see the double seams of the sleeves (along the front and back of the arm) that allow for a tighter fit and full range of movement. You can see the shoulder wings here- rather conservative. In the 1590s the wings were wider in length, and in the 1600-1610s they were thicker. Interestingly, along the waist seam you can see small holes/eyelets where the hose/breeches/trunks would lace into the doublet! That lacing held your “pants” up

Two Children Teasing a Cat (c. 1600) Annibale Carracci Italian

NGL I just thought this was cute

Ciri

Important Details:

-High Narrow Shoulders

-Sleeves Coordinating (not matching) Body

-Slight puff to shoulders

Separates for women were a thing that we know was common though there’s fewer portraits I can find of it. Women wearing doublets was a trend in the Elizabethan era (c. 1560-1600). I think her full outfit has a separate matching skirt and there’s a peplum on the doublet which did happen.

Portrait of a Lady in Black and White -  Alessandro Allori (Florence) c. 1590

This is a rather fanciful example but here we go: a front closing women’s doublet/gown with coordinating sleeves. Under the ruff, there was likely a grown-on collar as Ciri wears. I’m peeved because I know I’ve seen examples much closer to what Ciri wears but I can’t find any right now.

.

I skipped over a few screenshots I originally wanted to do (Eist, the ball guests, and Mousesack/Ermion for sure) because I’d already spent two nights on it but if there’s something you’d like me to unpack- I’d be happy to do it for you <3

“Mudblood”

Feedback is always appreciated! - Blue

---------------------------------------------

You’re standing in a crowd of people talking shit about each other or blood purity, blah, blah, blah. Although you’d rather be listening to the other people at this ‘Pureblood only’ party that your mother dragged you to, then listen to her talk at you, ripping at everything about you because the ribbon you tied around the waist of your dress was red and gold.

You wanted to have something with you that didn’t make you want to set everything on fire, or maybe you could borrow some of those fireworks James and Remus made, or - you got snapped out of your thoughts of ‘justified arson’ by someone yelling “Sirius Orion Black!”

Oh shit- that was one of the biggest reasons you hated going to these things since Sirius had ‘family’ in this little clique, he was dragged to them. You always made a big effort to not let anyone at Hogwarts know you were related to these monsters.

Everyone but a few Slytherins knew you as a muggleborn, Including your friends, you knew you should tell them the truth, but something always stopped you.

So you spent these parties hiding from Sirius, seeing him in a room meant you went to another, or even just went to the bathroom for the whole event so there was no way he would see you. You wanted to tell him, so these things wouldn’t be as bad, so you’d have someone to talk to, but you thought that if he, or any of your friends found out, you’d be dropped as their friend and that was the worst thing that could happen to you.

As Sirius and his mother walked into the room, you went to the other room, but unlucky, Sirius saw the little bit of red in the sea of green, going after you, knowing that no one who went to these things would ever wear red. But he missed you by a second. A seconded that, to you, saved your friendship. You and Sirius ended up playing a game of hide and seek for the rest of the night before you finally got to leave.

The next morning when you walked into the common room to see James, Remus and Lily sitting on the floor watching Sirius pace in front of the fireplace talking faster than a snitch flies.

“Who broke Sirius?” you raise your eyebrows sitting next to Remus on the floor.

“He had to go to one of those pureblood parties and a girl was there” he sighs, you stiffen, knowing it was you

“It’s not about her being a girl! It was that she had a red ribbon!” he yelled, before dramatically falling to lay on the floor.

“What’s it matter that she was wearing a red ribbon?” Lily asked leaning on James, making him turn as red as the couch “No don’t make him talk again!” Remus half laughs, but was also being a bit serious (no pun intended)

“Because! If you were listening, no one at these parties wears red, it’s like poison to them, meaning this girl must have known that and chose to wear it, meaning she doesn’t think like them!”

“Sounds like your jumping to conclusions Pads,” James says, still red “No! Cause she also was basically running from me all night

“She sounds smart” You smirk “Either way, why does it matter?” “It means that there’s someone there who is also a Gryffindor, you guys wouldn’t understand…” He trails off, you wanted so badly to hug him and say, I know exactly what you’re saying

“Guys, I’m hungry, can we go to breakfast now?” Remus whines standing up, we all nod and agree getting up

“Last person there has to do Sirius’s homework!” you half yell making everyone run out of the room down to the great hall, once everyone gets there, Lily ends up coming last, meaning James will end up doing Sirius’s homework.

“How do you always get here first?” Remus says panting (pun 100% intended)

“Cause I remember all the shortcuts here” he grins

“I think that’s cheating and Sirius is disqualified meaning he has to do his own homework, all in favour?” Lily glaring but smiling at Sirius as everyone, but him raises their hand “You’re all sore losers!” everyone laughed sitting down and starting to eat.

About halfway through breakfast a bunch of owls come in, dropping everyone letters. You don’t pay too much attention to it, you rarely get letters, and when you do, it’s just your parents shouting insults at you. So when a letter drops in front of you it made you flinch. Noting it’s in a green envelope you shove it in your pocket. Sirius frowns but doesn’t say anything.

The group go about the day, having classes, watching James try to flirt with Lily, Sirius trying to flirt with you, the norm.

But after charms with Slytherin, you and the boys had planned a prank for Lucius Malfoy, he was bullying a first-year Hufflepuff, no one messes with Hufflepuffs and gets away with it.

Right as it was about to go into action, he got out of the way of the red dye about to fall on his plantation blonde hair. The group all groan, seeing Severus smirk as he leaves the classroom, you guess he told Malfoy about it but the looks of things.

“Watch it ‘mudblood’.” he smirks, putting ‘mudblood’ in quotations, he was one of the people who knew about you not being muggleborn, he said he wouldn’t tell anyone, but now he uses it as blackmail on you.

“Don’t call her that!” Sirius yells, going to pull out his wand, to hex him into next year.

“Y/N, I suggest you control your friend there, he does anything to me, I’ll tell your little group about your dearest mother and father. To be honest, I’m surprised you’ve kept your mouth shut about it for so long” he chuckles as he turns to leave, Sirius fuming about to go after him again

“Sirius. Just, leave it” you mumble

“Why! He can’t say that to you!”

“Cause we’d get detention and I have a…thing…I need to go to this weekend, and if I miss it, I’ll get bea- in big trouble….I’m going to the library I have homework to do, I’ll see you guys later” you rush off

“She’s not going to the library” Remus utters, both James and Sirius look at him funny “You can’t get to library from that way”

“I’ll catch up with you guys,” Sirius says going off after you

“Wanna go get lunch Moony?” James says after Sirius runs off

“Sounds good”

***

You reach the black lake, taking out the letter your parents sent you this morning, ripping it open and reading it. It was the normal ‘disgrace, worthless, traitor’ it hurts more than you expected, plus a reminder at the bottom that you’re going to another gathering this weekend.

You drop the letter next to you, hugging your knees to your chest, tears start falling. You sat like that for almost an hour before someone sat next to you

“Been lookin’ for you everywhere love” you look up and It’s Sirius “What’s wrong?”

He frowns looking down seeing the letter, and a green envelope, just like the ones his family sends him, he goes to grab it, but you snatch it away before he can

“What’s the letter say? It’s clearly upset you” he shuffles closer to you, wrapping his arms around your shoulders. Not thinking clearly, you say the first excuse that comes to your mind

“Mum just told me that, my aunt died,” you say not looking at him

“Y//n, I know that’s not true”

“What do you mean it’s not true! I just read the bloody letter”

“Cause this is the fourth letter in a row telling you that an aunt has died, you’re not very good at lying”

“You’d be surprised” you mumble so Sirius doesn’t hear you

“Come on, you can tell me anything, you can tell me the truth”

“You don’t want to know the truth, Sirius!” You snap at him running up to the castle.

You spent the rest of the week avoiding your friends, well Sirius, but he’s always with them, so it meant avoiding them too.

It was Saturday night, and you were at the pureblood party, and completely miserable. You go over and stand next to your father

“Couldn’t help but bring that ‘Gryffindor’ pride with you?” your father says looking down at you. You’ve never felt so small “Take that stupid thing off”  

“S-sorry father��� you look down you taking off the red ribbon

“Disgrace” he mutters walking away

Not wanting to look as alone as you felt, you go outside though some fancy glass doors, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath, for once you didn’t want to set the place on fire, you wanted to set yourself on fire, you felt cold, but not from the weather, from spending a week away from your friends, and re-reading all the letters your ‘family’ sent to you.

You didn’t notice, but Sirius had just walked in. He’s looking around for the red ribbon, hoping that ‘whoever’ she is, was here tonight, he sees the ribbon by the doors, smirking “fuckin’ finally” he thinks, once he’s outside he sees that it’s you.

“Y-Y/n?”

Your eyes go wide ‘well tonight can’t get worse’ you think, turning to him but not daring to look in his eyes

“How’d you get here? What are you doing here?”

“Same as you” You show Sirius the ‘invite’ to the party

“I-I don’t understand, you’re not muggleborn you’re pureblood? Why didn’t you tell me?” he frowns

“I didn’t want you to think of me as one of them” You look inside, you can practically hear them saying mudblood

You could see cogs turning his brain though his eyes as he was piecing it all together “All the letters were from them?”

You nod, pulling out a bunch of paper from your bag “Only letters I ever get” you choke handing them to Sirius He looks through them, anger boiling inside him

“They say I’m a traitor, pathetic, disappointment, disgrace, worthless, unloved, unneeded…I guess I am really” Sirius pulls you into a hug.

“You’re nothing like them, and you’re none of those things, I’m so glad I met you, I don’t know where I’d be without you… actually I do, I’d be in there bored outta my mind,” You hold him tighter burying your head in his neck

You hear Sirius’s mother calling him from inside, you pull away smirking at him, and spark in your eye, as if you weren’t about to burst out crying.

Sirius looks at you confused but smiling “What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours”

“Well since we’re stuck here for a bit, why don’t we have some fun” you grin tying ribbon back around your waist

“I like the sound of that”

You grab Sirius’s hand and pull in inside to where a song is playing and people are dancing respectfully in pairs.

“Hey, Pads? May I have this dance?”

“Hey, isn’t that my line?”

You roll your eyes as you both go to where the dancing is. Sirius holds you by your waist pulling you close

You raise your eyebrow and Sirius winks at you “Do you know what personal space is?” smirking you wrap your arms around his neck, only making you both closer “Doesn’t seem like you mind” his voice drops an octave

“Who would mind being this close to Sirius Orion Black” Sirius looks down at your lips.

“The way my name sounds coming off your lips is making me want to kiss you,” he says sensually, smirking and pulling you closer (if that’s even possible) you bite your lip, flicking your eyes from his lips

“Sirius.Orion.Black”

He crashes his lips to yours, sending sparks through each other, it felt like it was always meant to be, but ruining the moment both your mothers are pulling you apart, saying things like blood traitors, despicable, etc, making you both laugh

“See you at school!” Sirius calls as his mother drags him out

“If we make it back!”

You both laugh, your mothers going off.

~ A few months later ~

You were taking a walk around the grounds finding Sirius sitting by the black lake holding a letter “Parents?” you say sitting by him, wrapping him in a hug as he nods

“Th-they disowned me…It’s like I don’t give a fuck, I hate them…but it still hurts”

You laugh a bit “You’re kidding right?” “Hm?” he tilts his head to the side as you pull a letter from your robes

“Got it yesterday” you hand letter to him He lets out a laugh “They disowned you too?!” “They couldn’t wait one day? So we can get disowned together?” you both laugh

“I love you, Sirius Orion”

“Now that sounds so much better coming from your lips” he has his cheeky grin on his face “Does it make you want to kiss me?” you smirk “It makes me want to kiss you forever” as he pulls you into a passionate kiss.

Stellar Firma art exchange for @hummelart! I had a lot of fun coming up with the most cursed things for their Trexel and David to wear in their fashion show.

[ID: A seven-panel comic featuring characters from Stellar Firma.

Panel 1: Bust shot of Hartro, a woman with pointy sunglasses, spiked hair, a very high double-collar, and ferns poking out of her outfit. She is holding a potted fern and looking to the side. Text box reads “Hartro thinks she’s just sooo good at being a spy with her Fern Creature disguise...”

Panel 2: Interior shot of the design office. Bust of David, a human-like clone wearing a onesie, in the foreground, worriedly looking at Trexel. Trexel, a man with dramatically upswept hair, shaped sunglasses, and an eccentric jacket, stands across the table, pointing dramatically at David. David’s speech bubble reads “She’s already left--” Trexel’s speech bubble reads “Well I’ll have you know I’m a MASTER of disguise!”

Panel 3: Close-up of Trexel, hands on either side of his mouth. His speech bubble reads “IMOGEN! Montage time!” A text box (presumably IMOGEN) reads “ding!”

Panel 4: Full-body shot of Trexel and David; Trexel is striking a pose with his hand out while David is crouching behind Trexel. They are both wearing oversized pinkish sweaters; Trexel’s includes orange and black-striped caution tape as a collar. David is still wearing the onesie underneath his other clothes. The background features multicolored watercolor splashes, as well as a glitch effect under Trexel’s and David’s feet as well as the sides of the panel. Text reads “ooh!”

Panel 5: Another full-body shot of Trexel and David. Trexel is crouching in the foreground and wearing two sets of bathrobes as well as an eye mask. David stands in the background, wearing a striped dress that reaches the elbows and knees and a pair of yellow pants, and admiring a red bow tie they are also wearing. The background is orange-yellow and has a soft dappled light effect. The glitch effect continues. Text reads “aah!”

Panel 6: Another full-body shot of Trexel and David. Both are posing with their arms outstreched. Trexel is wearing a white jacket with red sleeve cuffs and long tails with a cat print on the inside, a tank top with green handprints, tie-dye shorts, a fanny pack with TREXL printed on it, fishnet stockings, and glittery red platform shoes with aquariums in the soles. One of the shoes contains a dead fish, and the other one has cracked open and is empty. David is wearing a large green cardigan, two pairs of jeans, and a pair of red high-top sneakers. The background is a gradient from white to green, with speed lines. The glitch effect continues. Text reads “mmm!”

Panel 7: Back in the design office. Trexel is dejectedly walking away. We can see a biohazard symbol on the back of his jacket. David is turning to face him, looking surprised. Trexel’s speech bubble reads “That’s it, I’m not going.” David’s speech bubble reads “Wh-- After all that?!” Vertical text box reads “end!”

End ID.]

[cactus-joke]

the thing i will never wrap my head around is introducing sylvie as a frankenloki & then giving her absolutely no depth despite her being the key protagonist of season 1... like mike must hate women for the fact that

1) all the tva women of color are sidelined immediately (at least the two w the most prominent & interesting roles/backgrounds) for a white ladies development

2) you can count all the tva lady agents we see onscreen w one hand

3) frankenloki aka sylvie has a bunch of gaps for a character like where’d she get blonde hair dye. if ure hellbent on revenge why are u making stops at wallmart 2 get a box of hair bleach. where’d she get asgardian leather but SPECIFICALLY for her top (she’s wearing baggy pants & combat boots w that ensemble??? which as i say it also sounds like those corny wattpad “put my hair in a messy bun, wore my combat boots” fanfic outfits 😭), why and how did she get the AoA loki horns, she didn’t have them when she was taken. if she hates the loki association why’s she wearing the horns & the color green which is... the biggest target to be perceived as loki

4) if she’s an important part of the self love metaphor romance why does she always make this face “😐🤨🤢😐🤨😐” when loki talks (berating him & betraying him in the end aside ofc!)

5) why do we not know her nexus event? why do we not know why she chose the name sylvie? why does she have no prominent character traits outside of having a vagina? why is she cis? why did she get taken at the tender age of an elementary schooler but not when she was born if her crime was being born a girl?

6) has mike waldron ever met, spoken to, or seen a woman? has he engaged in critical, intelligent conversation with anyone, really?

7) can i be emotionally compensated by disney for simultaneously the most BORING (how do you make.. the god of mischief & tricks... boring is beyond me) and convoluted overstuffed show for wasting my time?

I don't know that Mike hates women, but I do think, based on his interviews and the resulting product he made, that:

1) It was certainly a choice to make the two prominent black female characters slaves to a fascist organization and one essentially a leader of it. A choice I don't think anyone involved in creating this show spent a second to think about.

I don't think they were necessarily sidelined on purpose, however. I just think it's an inevitable by-product of the show's terrible pacing and even worse writing. That scene one between B-15 and Renslayer, a scene I think was ultimately a waste of time, made me think that they probably did want to highlight at least those two characters on their own merit. They failed, of course, in the end, and with the set-up I think the intention or lack of intention doesn't really matter since we get what we get, you know?

It's not really a shinning example of giving your characters of color time and care, either, but I do have to highlight B-15's moment of doubt, a scene I think Wunmi Mosaku absolutely killed (seriously, everyone needs to check out her other work, she is effort and talent personified.).

Besides that, if you ask me, no character in this show has any real development anyway, including Sylvie. It is an uneven display of screen-time because obviously she's a main over everyone else but, like, can it even be said that Sylvie particularly benefited from it? I don't really think so. As you said, she has no depth, she is just an empty girlboss fantasy, and the diversity in general in this show feels empty to me.

2) I didn't really even want more TVA foot soldiers to be women. It wouldn't be a diversity win so much as just more empty pandering and Marvel's typical (military) propaganda fuel.

Anyway, I'd like to highlight some youtube creators of color who make great in-depth videos on this issue:

Khadija Mbowe: Color-blind vs. Identity-conscious casting and examining Hamilton and Malcom & Marie

Town of Tawiah: Performative Diversity and Colorism in Film | Dear White People Review, My Wife & Kids,HTGAWM & More

Cheyenne Lin: GOOD Representation Matters | Colorism and Casting

There's obviously way more, but these videos are a good starting point to expand on this topic from people who know what they're talking about. I put a link to their videos while the link on their names will lead you to their respective channels.

3) Sylvie's whole appearance is bullshit from the get-go. They deliberately used comic book references on her to confuse us and make their dumbshit twist of: oh, see, she actually is a Loki variant!

I remember seeing a post essentially saying whoever thinks Sylvie is a Loki variant with 100% certainty is media illiterate lmao, so I guess it worked on some people.

So, you know, IMO, it doesn't matter that it doesn't make sense for her to wear Loki's signature colors and the iconic AoA head-wear, she just does because fuck you.

Also, "if ure hellbent on revenge why are u making stops at wallmart 2 get a box of hair bleach." lmaooo - she just wanted to be her own person, you know, visually, but only with her hair and nothing else :)

4) Sylvie so very clearly doesn't even like Loki all that much, certainly not as much as he likes her (she is a girlboss after all, "she's got shit to do!"). It would be funny if it wasn't tragic. I do feel bad for Larry from accounting :(

5) I'm guessing we don't know her nexus event because they kinda never bothered to define what it was and they don't care. Maybe Renslayer saying she doesn't remember her nexus event was supposed to be this moment of like cold truth, or an attempt to hurt Sylvie because she knows but won't tell her, or, you know... actually, who cares.

6) I think Mike has spoken to women and I think he's had plenty of intelligent and critical conversations at his level. Which is a relative zero to a generous one. Perhaps two on a good day.

Idk though, jokes aside, his writing on this series is childish and lazy, his view of Loki is boring and reductive, his original script he used for this show is absolute shit, and that's all I can really say for sure.

7) I wish. The show really is boring when it isn't actively infuriating. It still boggles my mind how this mess even happened. Like, I knew the show would be bad, but this bad? Man oh man.

Cabin Life - First Time

A/N: Here’s a part three to woodsman!Sonny! I love him so much, okay? Once again, a special shoutout to @berniesilvas who spawned all of this and kept the thought process going! This also loosely covers the Fireplace square in @storiesofsvu fall bingo (I hope haha!)

Tags: smut, p in v sex, very little bit of cum play/eating, but not much

Words: 1980

Taglist: @witches-unruly-heart  @beccabarba  @thatesqcrush @itsjustmyfantasyroom @permanentlydizzy @ben-c-group-therapy  @infiniteoddball @glowingmess @whimsicallymad @lv7867 @storiesofsvu @cycat4077 @alwaysachorusgirl  @glimmerglittergirl @joanofarkansass @caracalwithchips @berniesilvas​ @reading--mermaid  @averyhotchner  @mrsrafaelbarba @detective-giggles @crowleysqueenofhell @dreamlover31

As the months turned chillier and snowier, you found yourself drawn to Sonny for warmth. He, of course, wouldn’t make you walk to his place in that cold; he had an ATV that he’d ride to pick you up, with an extra helmet for you. Sometimes, you went into town, eating at a local diner together, or watching a movie. Other times, you went to his place. He’d make you dinner, and you’d both talk about life, philosophy, your hopes and dreams, anything really.

You noticed that all of his utensils were made of wood, and you finally asked, “did you make these?”

He glanced at the wooden spoon in his hand that he was currently using to stir some sort of heavenly-smelling gravy. “Oh, uh, yeah, I did. My pa taught me to woodwork as a kid. I love whittlin’ more than anything else.” Besides you…he didn’t say it out loud, but you could still hear the words.

You and Sonny still hadn’t said that little four lettered word yet, but you knew it was true. It was there in the way he smiled at you, the way he draped his jacket over your shoulders when you shivered, the way he kissed your cheek.

“That’s adorable; I love that. Have you tried selling anything you’ve whittled?” you asked.

He shook his head, glancing at you before going back to cooking. “Nah; no one here needs any of these things. Besides, I don’t feel right sellin’ ‘em; they’re somethin’ personal, made as gifts for specific people.”

Your heart fluttered; that was probably the cutest thing you’d ever heard.

************************

Dinner was delicious; Sonny had cooked fish from the stream by his cabin, seasoning it with his own herbs and a sauce he had made from scratch. The side dish was sauteed vegetables from his garden. You wished that you could eat it all again as soon as you finished.

If I marry him, I could eat his meals for the rest of my life…you thought, then felt heat in your cheeks.

“Are ya okay? Too warm?” he asked, moving to pull the blanket from your lap. You were nestled with him on the couch, staying warm by the fireplace and the blanket.

“O-oh! No, I’m fine, sorry—”

“Are ya cold? I have another blanket on my bed that I can go grab—”

“Really, I’m fine. Thank you,” you replied, flustered. Desperate to change the subject, you asked, “wait, do you only have one blanket besides your bedding?”

He blinked at you. “Is that a bad thing?”

“Yes! Sonny, babe, it gets cold here! I know it’s only been light snow, but it’ll get heavier,” you explained.

He grinned. “That’s why I have the fireplace, blanket, and heavy jackets.”

You rolled your eyes in exasperation. “That might not be enough.”

“I’m sure it’ll be fine.”

You wanted to argue more, but you already had an idea forming in your mind. So, you let it go, resolving to visit your supply of wool from the last sheep shearing your parents did.

*************************

It was hard keeping your project a secret from Sonny, especially since you were determined to see him before the blizzards started. Your time was spent either at your loom, or with Sonny at his place. But finally, your gift to him was done, and just before the weather took a turn.

A huge storm was said to be coming through, so you spent the last supposedly clear night at his place, intending to hunker down at home throughout the blizzard. You showed up on his doorstep with a huge bundle of wool material in your arms.

“What’s all this?” Sonny asked as you came inside. He had an open-door policy; he didn’t lock his door during the day, inviting people to just come on in. You were sure he wouldn’t lock it at night, either, if it wasn’t for bears.

You dropped the material on the back of his couch. “I thought you may like some of these during the storm,” you explained. You lifted a blue blanket—you had blue like his eyes, green, red, and yellow—to show him, and he took it, running his fingers over the softness.

“I—I don’t want ya family to be without….”

You smiled at him. “Oh no; we have so many blankets. Besides, I made them for you; there’s four total.”

“Wait…ya made these?”

Your grin grew. “I did; my parents are sheep shepherds. I have a loom, and I make my own dyes. I love making blankets, curtains, jackets—”

“I love ya,” Sonny said, awe filling his voice. He placed the blanket back on his couch, turning to face you, your eyes wide at his confession. “I love ya, doll. I really do; I love ya more than anythin’—”

You cut him off with a hug that almost knocked him off his feet. “Do you love me more than whittling?” you teased, leaning back to smirk at him.

“Absolutely, I do—”

He didn’t get much more to say before you were lifting to your tiptoes, kissing him deeply. He leaned forward into you, crushing your lips in a bruising kiss, his arms wrapping around you.

“Thank ya fer the blankets,” he murmured against your lips before kissing you again. You hummed back, your hand trailing from his chest, heading south. When you cupped his growing bulge, he leaned back, searching your face through heavily lidded eyes.

“Bedroom?” he huffed out.

“Here, now,” you replied, kissing him again. He groaned into your mouth as you rubbed him, fingers gripping him gently.

Reluctantly, he pulled away from you. “I can wash these blankets, right?” he asked.

Confused, you nodded. He took one blanket, placing it on the couch cushions. Then he took two more, laying them down on the floor in front of the fireplace. Finally, he shrugged out of his shirt and jacket, and your eyes widened at the corded muscles in his lean body. He had always worn such baggy clothing, you had no idea what he looked like underneath it all…outside of your first date, when he had a tight shirt on.

Sonny caught you staring and smirked, eyes watching you as he undid his belt. You suddenly felt over dressed, and you quickly stripped your clothes as he pulled his pants and underwear down and off. He froze when he saw you, eyes obviously scanning your body, your eyes doing the same to him. You felt your mouth water at the sight of his long cock standing erect.

“Ya look beautiful…absolutely stunning, doll,” he murmured. Your heart fluttered as your cheeks heated. “Lay by the fire,” he ordered softly. You did as he asked, and he took the last blanket, wrapping it around his bare shoulders. You had made sure to make the blankets huge, and you were happy to see it was long enough for his tall body.

Slowly, Sonny came to stand by your feet before lowering his body down over you. He cocooned your body in warmth from him and from the blanket, the wool soft on your skin. He smiled down at you, cupping your cheek, before he kissed you deeply. You wrapped your arms around his back, pulling him closer to you.

You didn’t need to beg for him; it was like he could sense what you needed, and what you needed was him inside you. He angled his hips so that the tip was pushing through your folds, and you spread your legs wider for him. He nipped your lip, then leaned back to watch your face as he pushed inch after inch into you. Your jaw dropped open at the feel of him stretching you, and you gasped his name, your nails leaving little crescent marks in his skin.

He stopped once he was fully inside you, waiting for you to give him the okay. You nodded, breathing out a soft, “I’m ready,” before he pulled out slowly, and gingerly pushed back in.

Your body was like a livewire, jolting with every touch he gave you. And boy, did he not stop touching you. His pace was slow, sensual, like he wanted to make love to you all night long. And his mouth was everywhere, kissing and licking your skin, sucking marks into you, his beard creating a delicious burn everywhere it touched.

He whispered sweet words to you, praising your very existence, and telling you how much he loves you. He gushed about what he wants his future to be, and every moment of it involved you in some way.

“I want ta grow old with ya, doll. I knew from the moment I met ya that I wanted ta be ya husband. I want ta support ya, make all ya dreams come true. I want ya, now and forever,” he murmured into the crook of your neck, and you gasped. “Ya don’t haveta say it back yet—”

“I love you, Sonny. Fuck, I love you so much. And I would be honored to marry s—someone like you,” you choked out, a moan escaping your lips.

He rose himself onto his elbow to look down at you before he kissed you, swallowing your moans as he moved faster. One of his hands wiggled between your bodies, and the rough pad of his thumb found your swollen clit. His lips stayed on yours as he stroked you, your orgasm building quickly.

Sonny leaned back just enough to whisper against your lips, “let go fer me, doll; I’m there, too.” He continued stroking you, kissing your jaw, and you squeezed your eyes shut, gasping and moaning as he coaxed your orgasm from you. You gripped his biceps hard enough to bruise, and just as you started to come down, he huffed out a breath, along with your name. His cock twitched inside you, and he quickly pulled out. He barely wrapped his hand around himself before he was shooting his release onto your belly, his jaw dropping in a silent moan. You panted as his hot seed landed on your skin, and he stroked out every last drop.

“L—let me get a washcloth,” he muttered, but before he could so much as lean back, you ran your finger through his release, then licked it, moaning softly at the taste. His eyes darkened, and you thought he was about to shove you onto the floor and fuck your brains out, but he instead stood, heading for his bathroom.

The fire burning next to you was warm, but even that couldn’t stop the chill that ran through you from the cold, winter air. You suddenly realized why he had put that blanket on the couch cushions, and you reached for it just as he came back.

“Hold on; lemme clean ya before I bundle ya up,” he said, squatting down. He had soaked the washcloth in hot water, and the warmth as he wiped his release from you made goosebumps appear. Once done, he helped you stand.

“Hold,” he ordered, giving you an end of the blanket. You took it, and he walked around you, wrapping you tightly in the material. Sonny gestured for you to sit, and you did, collapsing onto his couch, swaddled, warm, and in love. He wrapped himself in the other blanket before sitting down next to you.

“I love you, Sonny,” you muttered, leaning against him.

He grinned, nuzzling as well as he could against you. “I love ya, too, doll. Let’s just relax for a little bit ‘fore I take ya home fer the night.”

You agreed, then unwrapped yourself. He rose an eyebrow to look at you, and you opened his blanket before scooting against his naked body, then rewrapped the blankets around you. His smile grew, and he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you close to his side.
