hi im back….

i haven’t stayed up this late in fourscore days

[pemguims]

begging for someone to do a thorough and critical!! analysis of the intersections of masculinity (toxic and otherwise), misogyny, fan perceptions, the influence of marginalised fans in discussions of players/the game etc. there's so much rich text to discuss and yet so much of the discussion is so shallow. e.g., I think it's a fair point to say players who perhaps are considered more feminine will be subject to different criticisms/abuse (but that in itself ties back to misogyny)

EXACTLYYY!!! like this truly is a very interesting topic and i would absolutely love a good critical deep dive how the misogyny ingrained into ice hockey leads to the phenomenon of male hockey players receiving abuse that stems from misogyny, but thats a topic that absolutely Has To Include Conversations About Women In Hockey.

the conclusion part of that article absolutely kills me

"it would appear nhl hockey players are becoming less stereotypically masculine in todays game" DOES IT ? ON WHAT GROUNDS GIRL! because some guys hve shed a single tear in interviews? bc a handful of guys have talked about mental health? ( dont get me wrong i am not discounting the bravery and the vulnerability it takes for hockeys to talk openly about their mental health struggles, and i truly hope in the future we have more hockeys (and men in general) go to fucking THERAPYYY bc only good can come from that - but that is not the be all end all of this topic !! )

this is such a frustrating article to read . it like almost hits some good points but just completely falls short due to very shallow and fandom-goggle views. like pls ..tell me about the nhl players whose staues looks "depart from traditonal hegemonic masculinity" and still are sexist and homophobic, and how the cycle of abuse and bullying ALL STEMMING FROM MISOGYNY starts when these guys are small children (the fact that junior hockey and the insane lord of the flies mentalities therein are not mentioned in the article floors me) and just continues to roll generation after generation of players . tell me how the homophobia in the nhl and fear of gay people in locker rooms 'perving' on other 'normal straight' players also stems from misogyny; from men being unable to view women as anything other than just sex objects so obviously any gay man would feel exactly the same towards men, and have no morals, no boundaries and no respect towards the people hes attracted to. tell me how women in the sport have had to claw and scratch their way into their positions and are still laughed at and dismissed . tell me about FEMALE hockey players and the disrespect and disregard they have to endure despite preforming on a level with or higher than their male counter parts! for example: the womens canada team won gold at the u18 world championships and i didnt see a single thing about it on Any of the big hockey news sites i follow on instagram!!! imagine writing an entire article about misogyny in ice hockey and not a single time talking about the pwhl, or any female hockey players At All . AND making me read 'edmonton polycule' within the first three sentences. jail!

january books

masters of death by olivie blake

a fun time!! read this in 3 hours straight right after deciding to get off tumblr for a while. a really fun ensemble cast whose various connections constantly had me gasping (at one of the reveals i gasped so loud my dad thought something was wrong), an interesting enough mystery that was fed to the audience in bite sized chunks. gay people! which i genuinely missed the lgbtq tag on storygraph; what a joy to be surprised with. honestly almost cried at the end... which is less of a book thing and more of a me thing.

the city & the city by china miéville

picked this up on my dad's recommendation, since it's one of his favorite books ever. i kind of got confused by his explanation (and by the fact that he had watched a sci fi tv show w a similar premise except involving two cities occupying the same space in a like. pocket universe sense) so i went in thinking it was going to be like, two cities with dimensional borders. so it took me a minute to pick up what was going on. FASCINATING spec fic. much chewier than masters of death lol. it's two cities that occupy the same Physical space. and all the people in one city Unsee the people and architecture and cars in the other. and then there's a MURDER! that seems to involve illegal border crossing between cities! extreme reread potential. has anyone read this? please somebody have read this i dont even have anything intelligent to say i just want to shout incoherently with someone.

organizing solutions for people with adhd by susan c pinsky

ok this one shouldn't count lol. but . whatever. lots of interesting ideas; the ones i've started putting into practice have in fact been game changers, so. the whole philosophy of like, maximizing efficiency and kind of lubricating your life makes a lot of sense!! im about to reorganize my whole kitchen bc of this lol

the department of rare books and special collections by eva jurczyk (DNF)

i was promised a mystery. this was not a mystery. a very expensive very very very rare book is stolen from her library, and the main character is getting drunk with her ex (and current employee/colleague) from 30 years ago in the stacks instead of paying attention to idk the employee who has disappeared or suspicious behavior or ANYTHING! that would lead to finding the book!!! got about a third of the way through and was so fucking frustrated like 'when the hell does this become a mystery' and then i googled it and apparently it was originally marketed as a "women's book" (whatever the fuck that means) not a mystery. and honestly yeah if i wasn't reading it explicitly bc i thought it was a mystery set in a special collections library it would probably be a fine book. maybe even a great one! but it was a bad mystery. and i was not willing to read 200 more pages just to get to SOME attempt at investigation. much less 400 more to get to the answers. so... DNF. :/

the da vinci code by dan brown

haven’t finished this yet (please don’t spoil anything for me… i have escaped any kind of knowledge abt the contents of it and i’d like to continue that way) since it’s my train book and i have slowed waaaay down. need to be more deliberate abt reading bc i really do hate reading on the train when i can’t finish it in one sitting. anyways potentially controversial opinion i like it so far!!! i love a mystery. love a mystery soooo much. and i love art (and bonkers art history). and im squicked out by catholicism. so perfect for me. realized like idk 70 pages in that it was a sequel and was like well fuck but i think i can go back to the first one without being terribly spoiled on anything. also only just discovered there’s a MOVIE??? with fucking TOM HANKS??????? what the hell.

january overall summary: read three books in four days and then fell way the fuck off once i got back to my own place. but i do now have a library card for libraries not several states away. and i know im currently capable of reading like crazy if i just sit down and do it. so february we work on that…

[writers-wrongs]

Hey!! Could you please do yandere hc's for Arkham Scarecrow x male reader? God I love me a man with a rotting burlap face 🖤🖤🖤

as do i. tbh, when i was playing arkham knight, id sometimes die on purpose just to see his little taunt thing :P

yandere!arkham!scarecrow x male!reader

-fuck it, im making you crazy. you meet him in arkham asylum, after wandering into his lab once you get out of your cell

-he honestly doesnt have any interest in testing on you, as most people in arkham all fear the same thing: batman. but youre not disruptive, so he supposes you can stay in his lab

-you start asking questions about his toxin, and while he doesnt show it, he really appreciates it. most people dont care about the science behind his work, they just want to weaponize the effects, so its nice to have someone curious about the work hes done

-eventually, he has to go do the "screw with batman and get bodied by croc" thing, so he leaves you behind. and then you dont see him for a long while

-ill be real, i havent played arkham city yet, so we're just gonna skip to arkham knight.

-its just before the attack is launched on gotham, and youre just doing your thing in the city when you get kidnapped. once the sack is finally taken off your head, youre at ace chemicals face-to-face with scarecrow (whos looking a lot worse for wear)

-"ah, there you are. ive finally found you, my little inmate."

-he explains that youve stuck in his mind since that one time you met and he couldnt get you out no matter how hard he tried. he gets fixated on things very easily, you see, and he hasnt been this obsessed with something since he first discovered the wonders of fear. so hes going to keep you secure at his side, whether you like it or not

-if youre ok with this (whether you actually like him or if you just want the safety from all the destruction), hes incredibly doting. whenever hes sitting, youre snuggled up on his lap. whenever he has to go out and leave you, hes got the nicest room he can find in a chemical plant ready for you, with multiple guards keeping you secure. as he works, he talks to you, trying to get all the information he can about you

-if youre not accepting of this arrangement, hes going to be more than a little pissed. you dare deny his protection? why shouldnt he just throw you back out into gotham and let the cloudburst consume you? he wont do that, hes far too invested to let you lose yourself like that, but he might just give you a dose of toxin. and another dose. and another. as many doses as it takes for you to start clinging to him for comfort

-hes not super physically affectionate (mostly bc i headcanon him with chronic pain after the croc incident), but he does love to hold you. seeing you secure in his arms, unable to leave unless he lets you... he loves the feeling of control. as for kisses... he cant do much in that department, since he doesnt really have lips anymore. but occasionally he'll sort of bump his mouth on you, which gets the point across

Love Sea ep 6 thoughts

the way this show loves to go from backstory → sweetness → [fire emoji x10] should be studied fr

this post is gonna be mega scattered thoughts sorry

i did NOT notice until this episode, but tongrak lives by water which is so fitting.

i know we're trauma dumping in the first 10 minutes, but can i just appreciate the lighting in this scene. again, i don't know a single thing about cinematography, but like the warm glow behind mut and the cool tones of rak's shot being hit with a subtle warm light. is it intentional? I DONT KNOW!! i don't even know if what i'm saying makes sense LMAO but i feel Something. also plus points for showing peat's beautiful eyes. i love seeing them in the light.

and the cuddle scene in bed after this is so chef's kiss. I TOO WANT TO LAY ON FORT'S WARM CHEST!!!!!!

tongrak's mannerisms are so cute like the snuggling, the pouting, etc. i think peat accentuates that so well too (or am i being biased again idk idc)

please this part...... UUUUOOOOGGGGHHHH mut holding rak's hands down, the slow build up to kiss, rak with his tongue out ready to go..... fortpeat know how to dial it up!!!!! their tension is crazy

also thank u for the thighs. i love thighs. fort's thighs in those jeans. and peat's are always out in this series thanks to the short shorts.. brain food.

i want khom's green fit so bad like THE PASTEL and my favorite color. i'm wondering if we'll get to see connor at all besides his voice. in the novel, he shows up with khom during this part.

i'm glad we're getting to see more of rak and vi's friendship. i feel like there's been a lack of that so far so this short scene is good to solidify their closeness. also the way peat smushes his face against the pillow here is SOO cute. he plays cute pouty kitten characters so well.

also vimook... THEY'RE SO UNSERIOUS!!!!!!!! PLEASE mame what is ur plan for them bc i am literally the mf crying emoji seeing their progression. the show is already deviating from the novel (they have extra scenes in the series iirc) so i don't know what to expect.

BRING HIM BACK TO THE WATER!!! HE BELONGS ON THE ISLAND. mut in the city but near water... so close yet so far....

also finally we get meena aka we're truly starting the conflict of this story. i really have to praise nina. fortpeat have said before she's good, but i've never watched anything she's in so i didn't know but yes. she is GOOD. kid/young teen characters can be super hit or miss and i think nina hits it out of the ballpark. she's VERY natural and comfortable with her line delivery and expressions.

i think one of peat's strongest points as an actor is his display for yearning. he's so ridiculously good at internal panic.

also how can i NOT mention the face-fucking nc at the end!!! after getting interrupted twice (once last ep and during the mid-way point of this ep) i was like we have to get Something right? AND WE DID RAAAH I LOVE WINNING!!!!! love sea truly does make me feel like im constantly winning in the nc department.

SHOUTOUT TO PEAT ACTING A CUTIE (and leg... i love leg)

anyways i will be gushing abt fp for a second here LIKE OOH MY GOD THEY ARE JUST SOO SOFT TOGETHER LIKE

DOMESTICITY!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROMANCE!!!!!!!!!!!! COMFORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY CAN DO IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

idk if mmy will have anything for them after this (i think they hinted at SOMETHING but it's most likely not a series) but i need some casting person out there to see them and be like "YES FUCK WE'RE HIRING" LIKE IM GONNA NEED MORE AFTER THIS SERIES PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE the way they fit together..

[writernopal]

Happy STS! Today I have a riddle: what comes first? The title or the story? 🤭 To expand, I'd love to hear the creation order of one (or several) of your stories. Did you think of characters first? Plot? World? What was the final piece?

Happy belated STS, Tori!

I'll answer this for AASOAF!

Did you think of characters first? Plot? World?

It all started with Fay. She was a custom character I made in the video game called Divinity Original Sin II to play a Pirate mod that had been created by a community member. I was on my, like, 5th play through of the game when she came about and for some reason I got really attached to her and I started imagining what her life would be like after the events of DOS2 and it sort of ended up departing into the early world of AASOAF.

She went through a few iterations before I landed on who she is now but as that was happening another big piece of the puzzle came into the picture: the birth of Wilkes and my Lizardfolk obsession LOL. He was just a set piece at the time and one of the love interests I thought it would be fun for Fay to have in passing. But then I went head first into developing my Lizardfolk because I wrote a scene where I was describing him hearing something and I realized that he probably didn't have any ears and that kind of fucked me up HAHA.

Anyway the story started centering around Fay and Wilkes relationship more and I was like 'alright, this guy needs some lackeys' because Fay had a pretty well established crew by that point. Enter Axtapor! He, again, had like no lines and was just there to deepen the roster a bit. He was originally supposed to be blue but I realized I had too many blue lizards at that point so I was like 'uhhhh okay what's a color i dont have? lavender? yeah.'

Around that time I also realized that Fay had like, SO much plot armor and was low-key getting on my nerves so I was like 'alright, I need someone to counterbalance her.' And Mariel came into being! She actually started out as Fay's best friend's maid with a Big Secret who gets dragged into the whole pirate drama by accident and then I was like, 'okay what if she also falls in love with a pirate and its a struggle for her bc she's like lawful good?'

So I paired her with Axtapor and then it was just like. The sky fell because the AASOAF we know today was born. I made some tweaks to Axtapor after having a few revelations in that discovery writing and actually brought Mariel's stakes into the story more prominently and added a more central antagonist and the rest is history!

What was the final piece?

The Pale Kings, actually. They were footnotes in Mariel's story in the beginning but they didn't becoming the oppressive horror they are in the series until I actually started mentally plotting AASOAF 1.

[moonlit-imagines]

as i start drafting the new requests i urge requesters to consider the following!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a fandom into your request. i write for so many different versions of characters like spiderman, the batfamily, etc. i have no idea who you have in mind sometimes and theyre very different to write.

^also with all the fandoms and characters i write for i will genuinely forget what fandom a person belongs to and will completely forget who it is until i see their face when i google them

heavy reminder that you will almost never see gendered pronouns in my fics. like less than 5% of my fics use she/her or he/him. why? because having gender neutral fics lets you guys read more things comfortably!! so if you add male/female reader to your request its probably going to get ignored. there are almost no scenarios where i will not use neutral pronouns

HVEGWJSVWGE please understand that when i get a request that is literally just “[character] x reader. reader is [random relationship]” no context no fic type it kills me a lil. i let it slide on this round of reqs bc they have been closed for so freaking long (sowwy) but just look at the rules/how to request if you need a lil guide. i have a plethora of ocd types and one of them made me organize the shit out of this blog so there are resources to help and i will also ofc answer your ask if u have a question ik i come off as moody sometimes mostly bc i have attitude sometimes but pls dont take it personally im just annoying

lastly pls read the rules especially the “things i dont write” its fine this time cuz we are so back but pls….

okay that being said there are still 2 slots available for requests before i close up and the other 8 are being drafted rn!! (sorry my boss when on another vacation and im the only person in my department so im holding it down dw yall i love this job)

[washa]

spoilers ahead for Freelancer series, Meridian series, The Balance series, and The Solitare Clan and Shaw Pack series!!

ngl kind worried for Angel and David... Like all the other empowered couples have gone through some shit.

Sweeheart and Milo w the whole Milo couldn't shift

Baabe and Asher when Asher literally almost died?? And the whole audio where it looks like Asher fell into a depression.

Darlin' and Sam w Quinn and Alexis..

Lovely and Vincent w Lovely getting a whole ass whiplash from the universe, no bc where do i even start w them.

Freelancer and Gavin with Kody, Vega, and the whole Inversion?? (Freelancer's stronger than me bro I would've just had enough 😭)

Damien and Huxley with the Inversion and that one video where Damien gets triggered and nearly burns himself in the shower??

Avior and Starlight??? Someone needs to help them both. Like i haven't even listened to them but just reading the website had me crying bro :(

Elliot and Sunshine, Sunshine is literally being kidnapped by a fucking cult while Elliot was mind washed into forgetting them.. If that's not rock bottom idk what is..

Bestie and Blake have some sort of guiltripping emotional abuse shit going on.. I mean blake is a kidnapper so I'm worried for besties mental health.

James and his partner, Anton and his. Poor them. Literally imagine being restricted to see your husband bc some guy named Marcus wanted to fuck a robot 😭😭

I'll be honest, i dont know much abt Cam and Vega with their listeners. But ik they have been through some shit or a problem like that.

But what abt David and his Angel?

Sure they've gotten an aftershock video, some comfort videos, and fuck, they're even engaged, but nothing like really big and bad for their relationship plot wise. With the Summit and a Wedding coming up, And Quinn obviously letting himself be caught by the Department. I'm worried for them both.

What if Quinn uses Sweetheart? Or the blood bond? Some other thing that crosses over with The Balance series?? Like there is no way the happy couple is not gonna go through it.

David's a well known and respected man, He's probably pissed off some people, or maybe someone is looking for a way to abuse his power. David can defend himself there's no doubt abt it, But what abt Angel?? What if someone takes advantage of David's love for Angel and makes him do something for their safety???

With the recent sweet audios of them i'm actually very worried for these two 🤕

PART 2 OF DANGEROUS ROMANCE EP4 COMMENTARY BC I HAVE TOO MANY THOUGHTS AND RAN OUT OF SCREENSHOTS

because of them, im now gonna start sobbing every time someone throws a peace sign at me

HELL YES

IM SO PROUD OF MY BOY

YUOU DID SO GOOD KANG

I KNEW YPU COULD DO IT

AIUOGHKJERPODHFKN

NOOOOOOO

FRICK

my boy is having many thoughts. none of them good.

I can hear his crisis and him blaming himself because now he thinks it's his fault that sailom's gonna get beat up, and he's sad for himself that he doesn't have a reason to spend time with sailom anymore, and now his grandma's gonna be disappointed in him for failing something, and there's definitely some thoughts in the mix there about his dad and the bike he bought him and kang is so certain he doesn't deserve the bike, I could go on but I wont because I would like to finish this episode before the sun rises and currently that doesnt seem all too likely

well DUH

YOU COULD SEE IT FROM MARS (and now im thinking about soundwin. frick.)

tell him

tellllll himmmmmm

tell him he lent the umbrella to youuuuu

and you've treasured it forever perhaps?

OMG HE'S TELLING HIM???

DUDE THEYRE ACTUALLY LISTENING TO ME SO MUCH THIS EPISODE THIS IS SO RARE

chances are either the bus or Kang's car is gonna show up before he'll get it out, bUT ONCE AGAIN, LET ME BASK IN THIS RARE MOMENT OF GLORY AND POWER

BOOM

CALLED IT

I know it's super cliche and everyone probably saw that coming but I dont care, im gonna let myself feel almighty powerful

I just. I will never understand why they dont just like quickly tell the person before leaving. or like yell at him while getting on the bus. OR EVEN text him while on the bus, immediately after getting on. that's what id do, cos if I dont tell them right then and there, I guarantee you I will forget to ever tell them, and then it'll keep me up at night for ages but never at a moment where I actually think about telling them, and then three or four years later ill finally tell them and it'll be so insignificant by then but it doesnt matter because I FINALLY TOLD THEM THE THING

I really hope he remembers to give at least one of those umbrellas back to kang

mans is not waterproof, he needs an umbrella

respect for auto just went down down prices are down

crypto? seriously honey?

IT'S SO CHEESY

IT'S SO CLICHE

AND IM CRYING ABOUT IT BECAUSE SOMEHOW I BOTH IRONICALLY AND UNIRONICALLY LOVE CHEESY AND CLICHE MOMENTS WITH ALL MY FRIKIN SOUL

EW

SPORTS

I hate sports days so much

thankfully id always be allowed to just not go to school instead of being forced to participate in athletics and swimming carnivals and cross country and stuff, and I will be forever grateful to my parents for that

they're in love btw

just in case anyone forgot

I didn't forget

I can't forget about them

my brain wont allow it

IT'S JUST

ITS JUST SO SWEET

I THINK IM GOING INSANE, THEY HATE EACH OTHER AND WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER SO BADLY THAT IT'S LITERALLY ROMANTIC

THIS IS PINING

HE IS PINING

PL E A SE CAN THEY KISS

NAWA'S HEAD TILT????? LIKE THEYRE LITERALLY ABOUT TO KISS IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU

two things to say here

one: view, please marry me

two: kang and sailom definitely have the same responsibilities

just KISS

I can't deal with the longing stares anymore

im like 80% certain they wont kiss this episode but I so badly want them to

NOOOO THEYRE NOT IN THE SAME GROUP THINGY

....but (hehe butt)

...maybe

...perhaps

I think kang might pull some strings to end up in the same department as sailom? maybe??

IM DYING, THERE'S A MARC AND A PAVIN (which sounded like pawin)

THEY GAVE UP THINKING OF NAMES FOR THE RANDOM CLASSMATES

ooooo he is listening to their conversationnnnnn

AND THEYRE GONNA INTERACT IN A FRIKIN BATHROOM??? I SWEAR, EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW IS SOUNDWIN CODED, IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU

5ER6CYVTGUOBHIOVTRC6DE5S4E57RCVYUBHUVTRDS3GTFD46F7GY8H

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY

THEYRE JUST SO

HE'S SO GOUERGJND

LMAO YOU IDIOT

(we're getting so many cheesy cliches right after each other and I am so here for it, I love this so much)

now kiss

OH

OH THIS IS THIS PART???? DAMN

he needs money to pay off his debts, so... he's gonna take a job offer from the guy he pays his debts to? feels kinda pointless, right?

also in this series, pepper reminds me of tor, specifically in midnight museum, so part of my mind thinks hes gonna offer him a job at the museum

LMAO

'MYNAME6969'

I WANT TO KNOW WHO PUT THAT IN THERE AND GIVE THEM A HIGH FIVE BECAUSE THATS FRIKIN HILARIOUS, WHOEVER SNUCK THAT IN THERE

IM DYING I LOVE THAT SO MUCH

as someone who sprained an ankle a little over a month ago, I have some points to make

namely: saifah is right. the first 72 hours are the most important, as long as you're resting it, keeping it elevated, icing it, compressing it, you'll be all good to walk on it in no time. after that, you need to make sure you're still taking care of it, like by wearing a compression sock all the time, and not walking on it too much if it starts hurting, stuff like that. that's the part I didnt do. I took care of it for three days, then kept walking on it like nothing happened, and it's still really painful sometimes, it never properly healed, but like it's fine im surviving

OH I DO NOT LIKE THIS, I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL

HE'S SO OLD

ICKY I FEEL ICKY

there's nothing wrong with the work he's doing, it's just the fact that he's still a kid and thats a 50 year old man

on another note, I ran out of bloody images AGAIN

AND ON ANOTHER NOTE, ITS NEARLY 2AM. IVE BEEN WATCHING FOR NEARLY 2 AND A HALF HOURS AND IM NOT EVEN THREE QUARTERS THROUGH THE EPISODE, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME

[cleverchaoslight]

I know I don't need to defend the big bad studio that's owned by the founder of Nike so his son can make his movies, but I really hope the people at Laika Studios didn't know about Neil when they made Coraline , because I like a lot of their other movies and I really Would be disappointed if one of the only two studios that dedicate itself to stop motion was complicit in less. Like stop motion is a dying art form because of CGI. I mean between the whole Aardman running out of the type of clay they use, and now this it just doesn't bode well for the art form.

honestly, hard to say. neil had a very good reputation for a long time (there were definitely people who didn't like him but from what i recall people really hated on amanda more than him really) and he managed to keep all this under wraps for a very long time. i think it's likely they were not fully aware of what he is but i also think it's likely if there were rumors going around back then they would have ignored it. it sucks but thats how the industry is, thats how power is. and i also think a lot of abusers dont do what they do with the conscious thought of "im going to abuse someone just to be an abuser, i identify as an abuser" i think they make justifications to themselves about why they think their case is somehow special and they may genuinely hold feminist/progressive beliefs and easily call out other people but in their mind, what they're doing is different. of course it doesn't matter what they believe if their actions aren't in line. but its also why if people see them doing something that feels wrong they might brush it off and be like "no way hes a good guy" or question themselves and if stuff does come out with evidence they still might be like "well he was nice to me" or something.

im not saying cancel laika because i dont have evidence that they knew or they didnt know but i will say invest in DIY art and small indie studios, like not A24 but small local teams with no budget making stuff from the heart. be open to media that isnt necessarily as polished as youre used to. i guarantee there are more studios out there who do stop motion, or even like youtube channels (i remember people making full on movies with lps figures, which ik isn't exactly stop motion but it counts for something imo). i'd start by looking thru college departments bc people are making a lot of interesting stuff for school work there, or even like vimeo or reddit. basically with any person or entity like neil gaiman or laika, i think its fair to recognize their talent and contributions to art, but i would avoid deeply emotionally investing in them which ik is hard bc we love stories we can connect to. but i just dont believe you can get to the level of power that they have had without the line between art and industry being blurred and i dont think you get to the absolute top of an industry without fucking someone over or something messed up happening.

Okay heres how id vibe with cod characters

First off i think my call sign would be 'mouse'

Bc im small i can scurry around places pretty quick and i can escape out of a situation fast as well that or cause i sneeze like a mouse

Id be a sniper and demolition expert ngl

Price

Legit i would call him dad 24/7 not like in a daddy kind of way but like legit a father figure

he'd just roll his eyes and accept the fact that he has another kid he has to take care of

100% would smoke a cigar with him though id smoke those tiny cigarillos (my brother smokes cigars and ill smoke a little with him)

Gift giving is my love language so whenever id visit a new country id buy him a cigar from there

I have a hat like his and i WILL wear it around and mimick him

Id do the grunts and everything

I feel like id be on more missions with him than anyone else

Definitely would hang out in his office to keep him company and annoy the shit out if him

Soap

Dont let anyone near us

Like

AT ALL

wed be doing diabolical shit especially since im an arsonist and free will plus military grade explosives plus mouse and soap. have the fire department on speed dial

We'd be the reason price is greying faster

100% stealing his shirts and hoodies they'd be so big on me

Im gonna be up front with this one

We'd be fucking. I'm down bad for this man

We'd annoy the absolute piss out of ghost. He can handle one soap but TWO hes gonna need the backpack leashes for us

Quoting vines and tiktoks ON THE DAILY

Jam seshes in the car would be 100% perfect

We'd have a snap streak and its only stupid photos we take

Im recording everything he does i know damn well hes always in a silly goofy mood

Definitely in the blunt rotation

He's definitely the type to find my snack rations and eat them in front of me

Lots of hugs and kisses for this man

Except when he eats my snacks

Wed play fight all the time. When i'm really close with someone ill start "beating them up" (just be faking to fight you)

Ghost

Oh this poor poor man

Have sympathy on him because he's going to try to avoid every ounce of my being

And i wont stop that

Im giving him hugs left and right this man needs some love

I feel like once i start cracking dark humor jokes he'd open up to me

100% would be making the most absurd worst dad jokes and laughing about it

We'd text on the daily mostly just me sending him memes and him sending a 👍🏻or a 👎🏻

Im stealing his hoodies and his masks

Id probably piss him the fuck off to be honest

Id give him so many gifts to make him happy i know he crinkle's his eyes when he smiles

In the blunt rotation too but i think he'd just join for the company and not smoke that much

Id be over in his room if im overstimulated and i don't want to deal with people

Id have him proof read my fanfiction and he'd be my personal dictionary cause i cant spell for shit

Gaz

Did i say big brother vibes cause HE WILL BE MY BIG BROTHER

Id steal his hat so many times but like not in the ride a cowboy kind of way

Id buy him the most ridiculous hats and he will 100% wear them

I feel like he was a spondgebob kid so i know damn well we'll be quoting some of the lines

Part of the blunt rotation as well

When I'm upset he's the one id rant to

Definitely would vibe in a room without talking to him in general

He's most definitely the one to keep me from being unhinged

Totally would listen to murder podcasts together

So at my previous job we had to wear full body harnesses and we played this game called the carabiniere game where you take a carabiniere and hook it on to someone without them knowing and you see who can put the most on them

Soap, gaz, and i would be playing it 100% all the time with each other.

Id also grab them by the harness and pull them around or clip myself to them

Let me get a video from my old job and just put em here and id just explain

Okay back to writing

Laswell

Once again id call her mom and she's just gonna have to deal with it

Id definitely spend time with her outside of work (especially since she lives in maryland my family lives up there) which gives me more of a reason to visit her lol

Shopping sprees i feel like she's a frequent shopper at tj maxx and target

I also feel like she gives the best life advice so id come calling if im in a predicament

Okay so i am partially fluent in spanish, my god mother and best friend are Mexican so I've been around Mexican culture the majority of my life

Alejandro

definitely calls me niña or cariño

I feel like he'd roast my spanish and doesn't correct me if i say something wrong

100% my drinking buddy

I feel like he'd be very protective over me

Id be his date (platonically) and hed be mine to all the family gatherings

Fucking Mexican families are so much fun too. party my tia throws one and im there two shots of tequila in my hand listening and damcing to music

We'd text on the daily i feel like he'd frequently visit me and my family in the south as well he'd be the life of the party at my tia's parties

Rudy

He's the one that corrects my spanish and WILL only speak spanish to me until I understand whst he's saying

Insert him pointing to a random object and says it in spanish

I feel like we wouldnt bond much but we would you know?

I also feel like he gives great life advice

Graves

Id kick him in the balls

He's the type of guy i avoid or ruin his reputation

Absolutely despise him

Completely roast that motherfucker

Drop kick him

He pisses me off so much

Gives off leo and cancer energy

OHOHOHOHHH AND AT THE BETRAYAL SCENE DONT GET ME STARTED

Id 100% try to fight him even before Alejandro would

Tbh id probably get killed by one of his shadows bc of it

König

Sweet babe i would help him through an axiety attack

PIGGY BACK RIDES FOR SURE

id hug him every-time i see him

Definitely would say uppies and have him put me on his shoulders

He definitely wont see me at all ( im 5'4) so he would definitely have to crouch down to see me

His nickname would be bear cause of how big he is

I feel like when he'’s comfortable around you he’s very out going

I have no clue how to speak german but i will act like i do

He's in the blunt rotation as well

Thats all i got for now 😊
