#and i also think people forget how silly sec is

[bloodonmysqueegee]

as far as im concerned they are all both these things simultaneously Also some other misc Emeritus brother thoughts: I like to think deep down in my heart that the other three knew Copia was their sibling immediately. Like his special bloodline eye isn't exactly hidden and while Nihil is stupid, they aren't. Copia assumes his dynamic with them is just being close by coincidence when its just actually a sibling thing Also like we know they all bickered a lot. There is hostility here. But I think deep down for each of them its that whole family dynamic where only they can push each others buttons. Some random clergy member calls Copia a bad name and they are found later getting beat up by Terzo in the ministry parking lot. Terzo denies it later I love them so much actually you guys. Disaster cult family

Howl’s moving castle dunmeshi AU

I’ve cracked the code I know why I love Marcille x Chilchuck so much. They’re literally just like Howl’s Moving Castle Howl and Sophie. Okok indulge me for a sec I’m about to dump so many pics and ramble for a bit. I want you to see my marchil vision. It’s fabulous extra cringefail hopeless romantic drama queen x grumpy old sad angry caring hardworking person cursed to be here & cursing fate and giving tough love to everything in a miles radius. No one is safe. From either of them. Calcifer or Micheal is Izutsumi. Wait wait no Calcifer is Senshi and Michael is Izutsumi. Senshi as Calcifer works bc Calcifer is just chained to Howl and is there reminding Howl to not die and take care of himself, giving hints about how to break the curse to Sophie, also the fire demon cooks the eggs and bacon checkmate. And then LAIOS IS TURNIP HEAD OH MY GOD THAT WORKS OUT PERFECTLY. Chilchuck & Marcille, screaming terrified of the weird scarecrow chasing after them, meanwhile the weird scarecrow that’s harmless: :(. Wizard Suliman is Falin and the second fire demon is Winged Lion, so bam everything comes full circle.

I’m assuming most people who’ll see this post maybe saw the movie but not the book, and what you need to know is that the movie makes Howl so much dreamier and collected and cool, whereas in the book he’s just a drama queen 24/7 that’s it. He’s a wet cat dressed in expensive sparkly glittery gowns that needs to be yelled at to do anything he needs to do. He complains. He bemoans. Meanwhile Sophie is, honestly pretty like in the movie? Less contrarian and anger issues but will grumble and yells while cleaning nonetheless. Hardworking but will pathetically sit down on a chair in a dark corner to cry about her aching bones and OHH this is ALL because she’s the eldest child and she was doomed for unhappiness and no one can ever love her… So she’ll whack everyone into order and purge her feelings through aggressive cleaning and using weed killer. IS THIS NOT GIVING MARCILLE & CHIL TO YOU?!

There’s this funny widespread take from the fandom:

And it couldn’t be more true in a marchil context either. Like come on. For all of this post just swap the names of Howl for Marcille and Sophie for Chilchuck.

(Last one with the art by Cookiekappa on Tumblr)

Tell me this isn’t so Marcille. Tell me Chil wouldn’t run away from home thinking he’s failed life and is no longer in shape to work and now has to waddle in self-pity, seeking out wizards which he hates and finds shady bc it’s his last option, and then end up a maid & cleans everything out of spite and also worry for the person living there. Tell me Marcille wouldn’t throw a depressed slime tantrum so bad that it causes a partial town evacuation because her wails summon unknown horrors, over her HAIR. Forget slime she’d blow up the house instantly. She would breakdance as refusal to go see the king. Chilchuck would call her a slitherer-outer and she would gasp in offense and they’d have a fight.

Marcille having full on poems laying around and then Chil & Izu seeing them and being like "Ah yes, this must be a spell, it makes no sense and is so extra, just like how silly our resident witch and her magic is". Izutsumi going "Okay peepaw I’ll teach you how to use a magical bucket just take one step forward-" and they immediately fuck it up and they’re left stranded in far unknown lands. Chilchuck complaining that HIS BACK HURTS. And at every turn or something mildly inconveniencing him "NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENS TO THE MIDDLE CHILD".

And can we talk about the aging motif, the curse… Marcille never letting herself grow close to someone even though she does all these grand gestures for them at first. Meanwhile her fear of loss stares at her straight in the eye whenever she looks at 90 years old Chilchuck, and her deciding to not run away from their relationship is what ends up healing both of them. She gets over her fear of intimacy and he grows over feeling like a terribly dull unlovable failure. Me sobbing when I remember how Sophie’s curse of being old is a self-inflicted manifestation of herself thinking she’s romantically unlovable and weak…….

This is it for now but rest assured that I want to make art of this, have these memes for now

♡How they would act when crushing on someone♡

Was bored so I made another few headcanons for my ocs! This is the some of em,but it's only the fnf versions cause me eepy (*´－｀*)ﾉ

This might be a bit confusing to someone who hasn't seen my ocs before soo..yah sorry if this doesn't rlly make sense lolz

sorry Cerline's one is so short I got eepy (-.-)Zzz・・・・

@veggie-miilk your child (knives) is here bookie,have your food while it's hot!!

Warnings- A bit of swearing (especially on JD's part,yk how he is)

Destiny Démbéle

I'd like to think Destiny would fall for someone who is pretty independent and overall confident,but at the same time,she doesn't have a type and could fall for anyone! So yeah,guess you have a masochist gal crushing on you know,enjoy.

Despite her usual reserved personality,Destiny is mentally freaking the f out,since she's claims she's never really been in love-*loud incorrect buzzer* ahem. Anyways,she doesn't know what to do when it comes to her crush,all of a sudden her words get caught in her mouth >_<

She would ask Cerline or Knives for help cause they know their way around romance.

She would probably confess pretty quickly,just to get it over with it and she could forget she ever crushed on them,but if her crush ended up liking her back she's honestly shocked. Like damn...her...out of all people???

But yah she's happy,a bit flustered,but happy :]

JD (Junior Démbéle)

Oh good lord where do we begin with this guy,he's a mess! A giant,tsundere,flustered,mess,despite having relationship experience,he definitely doesn't look like one.

If you don't know,JD's kind of an asshole,seriously,ask Destiny,she's been having to deal with his shit since they were kids.But he's still a nice guy,it's just...hard to get that side outta him.

So he'd probably avoid his crush,avoid eye contact,walk away from them,all that stuff. When he sees this isn't working for him (or you) he just gives up and sulks to Destiny,who tells him to confess,simple as that!

Long story short,it WASN'T that simple,he screwed up hard. Poor man couldn't even get a word before stuttering (he has a thing with stuttering when he's stressed),but the second his crush returns his feelings he's back to his cocky self.

"Ha! I fuckin' knew it,so ya like me that bad,huh?" And he just grins like an idiot (my guy you were a stuttering mess five secs ago don't try flipping this around)

He's stupid,and silly,but worth it!

Knives (Willow)

She's also a mess,but unlike JD,she is much more confident and less flustered,just happy. She'll try chatting with her crush more,y'know,just taking them with her on silly little missions (cough-mercenary) and hanging out at your local cafe!

She wants to get to know them ore and build a stronger friendship with them,all while mentally gushing over them,she's really in love 😔

She wouldn't make her move that quickly,she wants to know if her crush likes her back! But wouldn't take it that seriously,she would just walk up to them,smiling,and say:

"Heya! By the way,are you single? I was thinking of taking you out! Your a real cutie,y'know that?" Then would just flutter her lashes whilst waiting for an answer.

By the end of it if her crush said yes she would squeal with excitement,and then take them on a cute little date stargazing,getting some drinks and heading home!

She's very romantic,but a cutie pie!!

Cerline

She would flirt with her crush,but before she would she'd try to find out if their single to make sure she won't make them uncomfortable if their already dating someone.

She would try and keep her crush secret,but let me let you she thinks she's slick but everyone (including her crush) would end up finding out pretty quickly.She also has relationship experience but each time she crushes on someone she's like a lovestruck teenage girl (lol)

She would confess after a long while,but would be calm about it,neutral yet smiling face,waiting for her crushes answer.

If they end up saying yes she'll be shocked but would cover it up with a "Yeah,I thought so 🤗 I've seen how ya act around me >3●" but she's really happy

A flirtatious,yet shy sweetheart,but at the end of the day she's also worth it ♡

enjoy hehehehe

[beautifulpersonpeach]

Some JJK1 leak is going around and he's singing about a girl in that..jikookers and their delusions gonna end when his album comes out and it being a ode to woman he loves or wishes to have lmao. We've been saying all this while he's straight af but yall don't believe it. Now it's time for him to prove once and for all

***

I wonder if people who say things like this have any idea how not just queerphobic this is, but also how ignorant and just plain silly it is. Like, Anon, it's hard for me to believe you've had an education. Forget about JK and jikookers for a second, and replace JK with literally any other person. Your mom, for example. If your mom was a singer and she made a song "as an ode to a woman", which of these options would that eliminate:

Your mom being straight

Your mom being gay/lesbian

Your mom being bisexual/pansexual/queer

Think about it for a sec. Here's a random JK for no reason while we wait.

*

So, what's the answer?

The answer is none.

Your mom in this example is a singer, and singers make songs with all sorts of pronouns both gender-specific and gender-neutral, all the time, depending on individual preferences, song/tonal flow, the presence of a female/male/nb featuring artist on the song, narrative cohesion within the album or some other concept. Even if the genders were switched and now instead of your mom, we assume it's your dad (as JK is a guy), who made a song as an "ode to a woman", and if we assumed this song was indeed referring to a love interest, this wouldn't mean your dad is straight. Obviously. There's a whole spectrum of sexuality that exists, and your dad could still fancy himself a nice big tallywacker even if he's written a song about a girl from his past.

And this is aside the nuances to this specific leak that make your ask even more ridiculous. I mean, suddenly we're just expected to forget that JK lives in an extremely homophobic country where the consequences to an unabashed coming out would irreversibly change his life and that of his family. Your ask also curiously ignores the fact that in the same leak you're citing, JK is also heard to use male pronouns, so how you managed to make the leap to this being an "ode to a woman", is completely beyond me.

Overall, you seem silly and desperate to disprove jikook in the best case, and uneducated or ignorant in the worst case. Neither of which is good. It's also dispiriting that the first thought that crosses your mind after hearing a snippet of Jungkook's highly anticipated music, is how you can use it in your one-sided beef with... who again? Jokers or jikook? Remind me.

You know what? Actually, don't.

Please don't send me asks like this. Lately, I spend more time on Tumblr deleting asks that are too stupid to be written by even ChatGPT, than staring at hot pics of the tannies, or engaging in fun conversation about the boys and their music. And it shouldn't be this way. You're clogging up my inbox and decreasing my chances of seeing other people who do mean well and who know how to think.

[amazingmsme]

Hcs that have come to my mind after recent asks youve gotten:

1) Tinky kicks his left leg like a dog whenever someone (Ted!!) scratches his belly. He also sticks his tongue out too, he basically becomes a docile housepet to his ler (which Wiggly thinks is a weakness Tinky needs to work on !!!)

2) Wilbur absolutely accidentally taught the lib about tickles. He never minded nor cared for it, but he kinda enjoys when it happens. I can see Wiggly being like "So... if I do this- you humans will laugh? Just like that?" And Wilburs like "Uhuh, usually yeah. Now it does differ from man to man, but you're on the right track pal." And not bat an eye abt whats abt to go down. (idk something about characters w accents that makes brain go agdkzljc-)

3) First time (or one of the times) Curt brought Tati home to his ma's place is when she found out he was ticklish. His ma, bein an absolutely sweet mother, either A) gives the two a room alone but warns Tati that Curt's got a sensitive neck & ears OR 2) is so excited to see her son, who in return is happy to see her, that she gets all gushy and starts grabbing his cheeks like a little boy. For a sec Curt forgets Tati's there, but when Mama Mega starts lightly tickling him he recoils in embarassed giggles.

(I love the uprise of the starkid/tcb tk community)

THESE ARE LITERAL PERFECTION OMG I’M SMILING LIKE A DORK KICKING MY FEET IN THE AIR & GIGGLING

Tinky ABSOLUTELY acts like a cute lil puppy when he’s tickled & it honestly endears Ted to him & that bastard is such a mean tease & is still pretty damn salty about his situation, so he really doesn’t hold back! Wiggly walks in on them & is like “EUGH! Have some respect for yourself!”

Bro you’re making me simp for the man decked out in denim head to toe😭 (I was when Black Friday first came out, it was just overshadowed by MacNamera & by now I lowkey forgot about him) but he’s so smooth about it & brushes it off to keep talking but Wiggly is hung up on that & his smile just keeps growing & is he closer? Wilbur’s definitely sure he’s closer. & now he’s starting to catch on & tries to back track & say how he isn’t ticklish but most people are, but it’s little kid shit, really, far beneath someone like you but Wiggly insists that he be taught about this “fun, silly little weakness you all share” & calls his brothers to help

Dude Curt’s mom is so embarrassing, idk how he can stand it! She loves him so much & just wants him to be happy but damn she doesn’t have to be so cringe about it! Tati is sooo amused & thinks it’s really sweet that he has such a great relationship with his mom (she’s totally not jealous or anything) & teased him about being a mama’s boy. But I feel like his mom would accidentally tickle him & then tell her how she’s “gotta be careful” with him because he’s “always been a sensitive one” & he’s like “OKAY MOM BYE” & once they’re alone & they get some things off their chest, Tatiana decides he could really use some cheering up & puts that information to good use

& bro I had no idea there were so many of us! It’s not like 5 years ago when it felt like I was out here all by my lonesome (god I can’t believe it’s been that long since tgwdlm)

Random Heartslabyul Headcanons

Cater Diamond

Cater plays little games on his phone like the TWST equivalent of Candy Crush, Eggy Car, or the Dino Game to unwind

Adding a bit onto that, one of his happiest moments was when his family was busy on his birthday and he could eat spicy ramen in peace while playing his silly little games

In his mind, Cater thinks of people as trends; they come and go and won't stay around forever

(TW: Eating Disorder) After his hatred for sweets started developing, Cater started throwing up whenever he had them (Bulimia or some form of it). Had to eat a load of sweets for an Unbirthday party? "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom. CayCay will be back in a minute!" Sisters stuffing his face with it again? "Mom asked me to tend to her garden. One sec, sis!"

Riddle Rosehearts

(Book 1 spoilers) After his overblot, Riddle uses mantras to calm down, sorta like Pepa from Enchanto. "I have a never ending supply of patience." "This has no effect on my life." "I'm relaxed and at ease."

Riddle also uses music as a way to destress. Singing along to Happy by Pharrell Williams? Nope. He's rocking out to Monster by Skillet.

At least twice a month, he sneaks in to the kitchen and steals a tart. Just sits on the floor and shoves it in his face. Trey doesn't care as long as Riddle brushes his teeth afterward (he doesn't, he forgets)

(TW: More Food Issues) (More book 1 spoilers) Before the trip to the bakery, Riddle had a shit relationship with food. He thought it tasted bland and found it hard to eat. The only reason he would was because of his mother watching over his shoulder. And after the bakery incident, his relationship with it got worse for a while. Though, as he knew that this was unhealthy, he eventually made a promise to himself. That he'd become the mage his mother could be proud of, so she'd allow him to have those breath-taking tarts.

Trey Clover

While baking, he listens to a mix of Nelly Furtado and Eminem. Specifically, Maneater, Promiscuous, Superman, Without Me, and Til' I Collapse.

Trey stuffs recipies in his fedora, like Vivo from... Vivo. At least, he did this when he first came to Night Raven to remember them.

Reminder: he was probably a nervous freshman once. Seeing that would probably be hilarious.

For his fourth year, Trey actually considered interning with Sebek's father.

Ace Trappola

He wet the bed until he was like 8; his brother still makes fun of him for it

His father was extremely close to beating Ace's ass when he found out how Ace treated the Ramshackle Prefect in the beginning. Ace's father is magicless as well and doesn't tolerate any bullshit

A few of his childhood friends go to RSA now, so he doesn't hold as much dislike towards the rival school

His mother is a sensitive topic, he usually doesn't bring her up unless he's making some sort of "motherless" joke. Ace usually only makes motherless jokes if he's made a similar joke about Deuce's dad (and if he's made a joke about an absent parent of Yuu's, if they have one)

Deuce Spade

Coping skills for his anger include: working out, listening to music, and arguing with Ace

He makes playlists not only for his friends, but for certain events in his life. Yes, Deuce did make playlists for the overblots (Riddle's included mostly songs about revolution

There was an inside joke about Deuce not knowing store-bought eggs aren't fertilized in his middle school gang, though he didn't realize it

(TW: Mental health issues) Deuce had little bouts of depression after he overheard his mom's phone call. Doubt would cloud his mind on whether he should stay and if his mother would be better off without him. He'd shake himself out of this thinking process by reminding himself that his mom would be alone if he wasn't there

This was made in the span of two 3am nights. Basically is went through three phases: I'm hungry, I don't like Trey, and I'm listening to Mama by MCR

[Magi reread] Night 63: Alibaba's Sophism

For all of you, dumb bitches

It's me. I'm dumb bitches.

No, fr, I kept forgetting to finally fucking check what exactly that meant, and I've finally done it and Oh.

Well, that checks out.

She

I'm not sure if it looks more impressed, or more like some very slight annoyance. Tbh, I'm probably reading too much into it, but at the same time, Alibaba did kinda mess Mr Fate's Favorite Child's plans here. And Sinbad always saw Alibaba as the person meant to become the King of Balbadd, till the very end, really, so. Hm.

I'm not sure... this might be how we learn about SSA? But also, it might've been mentioned earlier & I just forgot.

Ok, but. What if I'm not reading too much into it. Gdi.

Oh, no. He very much does not look happy here. I mean, he looks relatively neutral, but I would say it's the fact that the previous panel he was in he had a slight smile, so his face closing the way it did definitely points you towards the "no a fan" direction. I don't think I was reading too much into it, after all. Thank you for being here for my little self-gaslighting session. We came out victorious in the end.

But the way he's looking at him... Yudja put it best, honestly: "Unimpressed by Alibaba's answer. In a way that distinctly go into condescending disdain. And it also looks like he's calculating how much of a threat Alibaba will prove to be" Also, I personally think there's also the fact that Alibaba said that Balbadd didn't need a king, which kinda goes against Sinbad's entire ideology.

It's always amazing to see these small moments, sprinkled throughout the entire Balbadd Arc, where for a moment Sinbad stops being that silly dude or an amazing, inspiring leader, and we catch a glimpse of something darker, somebody colder and more calculating.

The foreshadowing of this dude was so fucking good, man. And so many of us fell for it.

She has a point.

Menacing.

This page is amazing. I just. I don't even know what to say. No one know what to say. The fuck do you mean, yea, forget about it for a sec here.

Also, close up on this precious girl.

So. That sophism...

I think it's extremely important for everybody to understand: Alibaba knows he's bullshitting. He doesn't truly believe it, it's ridiculous. But if he plays his cards well, it might just work.

Can we just talk how everybody but Alibaba looks surprised at her answer.

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again - Alibaba is good at reading people.

I love this page. Dunno, you can't help but think that Alibaba does make some good points... even though obviously, he doesn't intend for Balbadd to actually be annexed.

Kougyoku: -is actually about to disagree-

Sinbad: Allow me to reintroduce myself

Good for Sinbad to jump in right now, but also the other three really are like, welp, let's roll with whatever he says, what's new.

Sinbad really was like, ok, I'll handle it from now on, only for Alibaba to jump back in.

RIP Ka Koubun

nod

Honestly, can't blame you.

Welp, I guess he is a little bit impressed, after all. Proud, even,

UH OH, AREN'T WE FORGETTING ABOUT SOMETHING

[navstuffs]

(I'll steal you for cuddles tonight, then). And... of course! An honour to introduce you to Kurzgesagt, actually. They make science videos explaining things beautifully and with illustrations... It's super rad. I'll leave some of my favs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOfRN0KihOU&t Their first video, about evolution.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNDGgL73ihY About the Big Bang

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKMQzkIiB0Y This one is... It's some touching shit. 10/10.

They got alien videos as well so, it may be right up your alley.

And shut up!!! No way, your mom is an ufologist?!! ... Love that. Damn, Nav, getting shy now cos you're like, ten times cooler now that I know this. I personally like to believe that there must be something, the universe seems to big for just us, right? Though sometimes I get a little annoyed at people that cannot imagine life forms that don't look like us. Like forget about water and oxygen in other planets for a sec and think of other insane ways to sustain life!! Sorry a little nerd ramble. Also apologies to your followers for the science spam.

Anony

thank you so much, saved all of those and i will def watch later nony! you don't need to get shy silly, alien/space were like part of my chilhood into my adulthood.

i think more of how small we are compared to the universe. our life passes like a blink of an eye to the universe. like that song from the amazing world of gumball? here if you want to check. and yeah, i imagine there are so many different life forms that wouldn't be comprehensible to our eye sight/mind even.

and we good anony, sincerely, love talking about this with you!!!

Fresh wind on a hot day (3/9)

*Hey, it's Buck! I really wanted to wait a day or two before texting, but turns out I can't stop thinking about you. U free on Sunday? I almost suggested a hike, lol. Not with that ankle, huh? Next time then! How does chilling on the beach sound? 🥰*

Jim couldn't stop reading the message over and over again, every time feeling fucking butterflies wreak havoc in his poor stomach.

Buck asked him on a date.

Not even five hours after they parted their ways.

Took him nearly twenty minutes to respond, overthinking every single word he wrote to make sure it didn't somehow sound stupid. Which totally made him feel like a teenager interacting with their first crush. So what? It was reasonably overwhelming that he managed to impress someone so much, they wanted to see him again on their next day off. And the fact that person happened to be a handsome, likeable Alpha firefighter only added more stress to the raging anxiety fire.

Street couldn't even remember the last time he was on an actual date. Perhaps it was the awful one last year. Tan was bothering him for ages to meet with some gay cousin of his good friend, so to once and for all make him shut up, he agreed. It was a horrible mistake. That Alpha dude, who was apparently a very respectable neurosurgeon, clearly wanted to own a what he called "a rare object" in a form of a jacked, intimidating Omega working a manly job. This statement, voiced barely fifteen minutes after they met, left the officer utterly speechless. He was baffled by how confident in his deep arrogance that man must have been to say such offensive bullshit with absolute nonchalance. Just...wow. Tan was obviously fired from any further matchmaking, and all Jim's following encounters were purely physical because he had no mental strength left to deal with some people's stupidity. He really hoped the upcoming one won't be another disappointment, which was an odd thing to suspect since they already spent a significant amount of quality time together. Still, Street was nervous. 

The next three days of doing absolutely nothing productive, because he was on that stupid medical leave, were a constant struggle as Jim couldn't fully focus on anything, too distracted by his Sunday plans. It was not clear what the exact idea was until Saturday evening, so various speculations filled his forced freedom. Not a single was correct, but at least the daydreaming killed the time.

Beer and sunset was what Buck suggested. How convenient, those were Street's two favourite things. Unfortunately, it also meant the firefighter wouldn't come to pick him up before the afternoon, which equalled lots of silly anxiety amplified by Luca being at work, thus not providing much-needed distraction. Fucking hell.

To muffle the ruckus in his head, the officer had to turn for help to the ultimate brain-numbing activity: watching reality TV. It's something Chris made him do on their days off before she moved in with Amelia and even after, the habit stayed, doing wonders to his noisy brain. So, hopefully dressed adequately for the occasion, he sat on the couch and fully immersed himself in a silly show until someone loudly knocked on the door, startling him terribly.

Fuck.

He lost track of time.

Nervously shaking only a teeny-tiny bit, Jim opened the door and almost whined when his stomach did a flip. No way that guy looked better than last time. How is that even possible?! Why is he so damn hot?!

-Hi there. Ready? -Buck asked softly, a wide smile instantly brightening his handsome face. 

Nope. Not at all. Can we cancel and forget we ever met?

-Yeah. -Street lied, quickly going back to grab his almost forgotten phone. -You alright Buck? You look tired. -observed upon returning, without thinking cupping the younger man's cheek and gently rubbing it as he examined the darkness prominent under the blue eyes. 

-Might get better in a sec! -informed the firefighter, pulling the Omega into a long hug, with nose pressed to his neck, deeply inhaling the comforting scent. Jim could clearly feel when the tense muscles slowly started to relax in the tight embrace. -I had the longest shift ever yesterday, can't wait to forget all about it. People can be really stupid sometimes. -explained vaguely once they parted.

-Tell me about it. -Jim rolled his eyes, turning away to lock the door. -Most of the people I get to "meet" are not only stupid, but also armed. Idiots and guns do not mix well. -he sighed, shaking his head in disapproval. -Let's go?

The whole drive to the beach, they talked about everything and nothing, mostly work related anecdotes interrupted by Buck's shockingly bad singing. It felt so natural to be around him, like if they met years ago, not a few days. There was no tension, no awkwardness, just pure comfort between them. Even on arrival, as they walked towards their destination and the Alpha casually held his hand, it didn't feel weird at all. Which was actually strange, since the officer was not used to the romantic part of intimacy, never experienced anything "relationship like", so this whole situation should be throwing him off. But it somehow wasn't.

They sat down on a blanket thrown over the sand, cracked open the cold beers and in complete silence enjoyed the beautiful view of an orange orb vibrantly glowing from behind the pinkish clouds, hanging over the horizon, nearly touching the line of calm water splashing lazily near them. The wind was a little chilly at this hour, although nicely refreshing, ruffling their hair with its slow gushes as their shoulders met, exchanging pleasant warmth. Watching that breathtaking sunset next to the most incredible person he's ever met was truly a dream come true. A dream that seemed too good to be reality. 

-Buck, why are you single? -Street blurted out of the blue, unable to contain curiosity any longer. He had to know what is wrong with that seemingly incredible man before they moved any further with this relation. 

-Ugly truth? -the firefighter chuckled after taking in a fairly deep breath. Street only nodded in response. -Well...for the past few years I've been hopelessly in love with my best friend and work partner Eddie. Ever since we met, and he introduced me to his amazing kid, Chris, I desperately wanted to be a part of this beautiful family, have those two incredible boys all to myself. Even if it meant giving up on my dream of having kids on my own. Eddie is a Beta, y'know? He had a wife, but she died last year. Anyway, for the longest time I've been hiding those feelings to not ruin our friendship, until one day I started noticing we've gotten closer than any friends should be. Around five months ago, I finally stopped lying to myself and everyone in our team, for whom it was obvious there is something between us. I told him how I truly feel, and he said that despite having feelings for me, he's not ready to start another serious relationship just yet. That's why I am single, Jim. I was too busy waiting for Eddie to change his mind. To let me love him. 

And, oh.

Jim could feel his heavy heart drop all the way to the ground.

And then Buck grabbed his fucking hand and squeezed it so tenderly it almost made him cry like a fucking baby because suddenly it started to feel like he chose him over the possible love of his life and all the chaotic thoughts of being a temporary replacement or a rebound or whatever else instantaneously vanished.

-I'm done waiting. -the Alpha smiled, fondly looking at the cop with those bright, blue eyes, and Street just melted. -Few weeks before we me met, I decided it's enough. My patience has officially run out, and I am more than ready to move on. -he assured, probably sensing or even seeing the Omega's already fading distress. -What about you? Why are you single, Jim?

Oh Lord. Why didn't he think beforehand that this question might absolutely shoot right back at him? Dammit.

Ugly truth, huh?

Very ugly indeed.

-I...almost killed someone once. -he whispered after gathering the much-needed courage, his jaw impossibly tense as he stared at the darkened waves. -It was back at the police academy. Everyone except me in my class was either a Beta or an Alpha, so they were giving me a pretty hard time, trying to force me to quit because apparently Omegas have no place in the force. I was changing by my locker one day when out of nowhere that one especially obsessed with harassing me fucker showed up behind my back, said "Maybe I should make you my obedient little bitch." and bit my neck. Hard. I fucking lost it. Next thing I remember is him lying on the ground, blood all over my hands, his face beaten into a pulp. They told me he developed a severe brain bleed, couldn't become a cop afterwards. And I couldn't trust any Alpha anymore, in fear they will try to forcefully make me "normal", an obedient little bitch. -revealed, quickly wiping a single tear rolling down his cheek. -If I am not interested in Betas and wary of Alphas, who do I date, huh? -Jim laughed nervously, not daring to gaze at the other man out of  unnecessary embarrassment. He's never told that story to anyone but Chris. She was furious.

-Damn, and I thought, I'm a hot mess. -Buck whistled, swiftly pulling the cop into his arms. -Guess we both are. -sighed, resting his cheek on the top of the other man's head.

-Not quite. I'm definitely hotter. -joked the officer, shifting himself to look at that pretty, slightly concerned face.  

-I'll give you that one. -chuckled the firefighter, capturing Street's lips in a quick kiss. -Fuck, Jim, you make me wanna keep you.

-You like damaged goods? -the Omega snorted in response, entangling his fingers into those soft blond strands.

-Duh! -Buck exclaimed. -No one should pretend they're perfect. It's really cool that you're not afraid to share your truth. -added with a wide smile, making Jim feel dizzy from all the affection he's been receiving. There is nothing more pleasantly overwhelming than being held by your crush while they tell you they wish to be with you. Nothing.

-Keep me then. -he offered. -I enjoy you Buck, a lot, actually. Even though we barely know each-other, around you I finally feel truly respected and...safe. It's not like I'm one hundred percent sure we would work, but I'd love to at least try. You don't have to respond... -tried to explain, but got promptly interrupted by a rather possessive kiss. -...right now.

-Are you for real?! -shouted the younger man, gazing at the officer in pure disbelief, his watery eyes sparkling with raw happiness.

-Do you seriously want me to repeat those most cringeworthy words I've ever said? -Street frowned, trying very hard not to blush after realizing what he's just shamelessly confessed. Buck laughed in response before leaning down to kiss his boyfriend one more time, stopping for a second to whisper:

-I'll take it as a yes.

---

They stayed on the beach until it got dark and too cold for sitting there in thin hoodies, the chill crawling under their skins despite being in close contact. Driven by the desire to go somewhere warmer, the two of them literally stormed through the apartment door, like some horny teenagers unable to stop touching even for a moment all the way back there.

Plastered to the wall, Street could barely breathe as their tongues mixed, unbelievably hungry and equally needy as their lower parts. Already hard in his pants, he hopelessly thrust into Buck's matching erection, causing him to growl and suddenly break the kiss.

-Carry me upstairs? -Jim immediately requested, wrapping his muscular arms around the taller man's neck, gently brushing the silky hair.

-Didn't you say you would let me do it only that one time? -chuckled the Alpha, firmly grabbing onto the sturdy hips while gazing into those foggy, starving eyes looking at him expectantly as they stood there pressed together, their dicks desperate to get some heavenly friction.

-Well, in my defense, I didn't plan on seeing you more than once. -revealed the cop blushing subtly. He certainly didn't predict they would meet ever again, let alone start dating, and was pretty sure it was a mutual feeling. Because who could've possibly predicted them instantly clicking? No one.

-Ouch! -Buck whined dramatically before obediently slipping his large palms under the beefy thighs and effortlessly picking his boyfriend up. -Are you aware you're not the lightest person in the world?

-Aren't you firefighters supposed to be like...super strong? -teased the Omega, tightening the legs around his lover to put pressure on their aroused cocks while the younger man hurried them to the bedroom. -You're gonna save on gym with me.

-I have free gym at work! -the firefighter giggled, carefully putting Jim back on the floor. -I do like that you are so ripped tho. It's really fucking hot. -added, unexpectedly pushing the officer onto the bed that creaked dangerously under his weight.

-Did I perhaps hit a nerve? -Street hummed after quickly recovering from the initial shock of being violently shoved. Buck only snorted in response and swiftly took off his white hoodie, soon joined by the bottoms on the ground. Gloriously naked, he then climbed over his fully dressed boyfriend and instead of helping him get rid of the itching material, focused on marking the round jaw with kisses. The cop whimpered in annoyance, desperately needing complete skin to skin contact, not merely a hint. His hands erratically wandered along the uncovered spine, gently caressed the warm flesh as his lover made him squirm, bruising the extremely sensitive neck. But still, it was simply not enough. So, he grabbed a fistful of golden hair and yanked them. Not too hard to cause any pain, but enough to grab attention.

-Buck, sweetheart, if you don't start fucking me anytime soon, I'll probably lose my mind. -he groaned, looking right into the visibly darkened, slightly surprised blue eyes that instantly widened upon hearing Jim's complaint. 

-On it. -assured the Alpha, and as promised began to undress him, starting with the hoodie. Once it was gone, Street shivered from the rapid change in temperature, the colder air unpleasantly licked the burning skin. Seeing the tremble, the firefighter started kissing his chest, tender pecks one by one led a trail all the way to the strained pants he easily pulled down, revealing the soaked underwear hiding the prominent erection. Jim was so hard it was physically uncomfortable. A loud moan escaped him when the suffocating penis finally got some air. Even louder one when Buck confidently licked it from the very bottom up to the leaking tip. The moment it disappeared in its entirety inside the velvety mouth was so intense, everything instantly went dark. He could only feel the utter ecstasy and hear himself produce the most shameful, erotic sounds forced out by his dick being skillfully sucked. There was no doubt he would not last long. The orgasm was approaching quickly, fueled by two fingers entering him in preparation for the main event. When they spread open, that did it, came on the spot, pressing deep into Buck's throat.

-Sorry. You okay, baby? -Street asked, seeing the younger man cough once he pulled away, his eyes visibly watery. -C'mere. -he ordered, extending an arm towards his boyfriend, who eagerly lied down on the heavily breathing chest, inhaling the familiar scent until the fact he was yet to release started bothering the recovering officer. -I'm pretty sure I mentioned something about fucking me. -he whispered suggestively, laying a gentle kiss on the sweaty forehead, more than ready to resume the fun.

That's all Buck needed to hear. Joining their lips, he pushed himself up and shifted to comfortably fit between Jim's spread legs. Without them parting, the Alpha lined his coming back to life penis with the loosened opening and effortlessly slid right in, completely filling the incredibly hot, twitching insides.

-Fuck, you feel so good. -he huffed, withdrawing a little before thrusting back in, his moves shallow to avoid falling out of the immensely wet hole. The Omega could feel his cock harden again as the other man began the unrushed rhythm and leaned down to bury his nose in the fragrant neck, nibbling on the skin from time to time. It was ecstatic, having such a sensitive body part played with, marked subtly by someone he truly cared for. He wrapped his arms around Buck and lightly grazed the arching spine while the firefighter's penis rubbed the throbbing prostate. Their mixed groans and moans started to slowly increase, but neither of them was interested in ending it fast. The new couple wanted to enjoy themselves. So, in tight embrace they leisurely followed the blissful release's path until the friction became unbearable, overwhelmed all the senses and forced the powerful orgasms out.

Later on, they curled up together, aching terribly, however insanely happy. Street had a hard time dozing off, tormented by disbelief in what has happened over the past few days. He met a guy in the weirdest situation possible, randomly saw him at the bar on the same day, slept with him, and then, after barely one date, became his fucking boyfriend. How crazy was that?! And even though it surely sounded insane, Jim didn't care in the slightest, being reverently held by a man who made him laugh was all that mattered, and he couldn't wait to get to properly know him.

The first "new" thing he learned was that he did not like waking up alone in someone else's house. Still half asleep, he rolled over, reached for his phone and with a good yawn checked the time. 9:17. Now it made sense - Buck's shift started over an hour ago. He couldn't believe he slept through him getting ready for work, and that he was even allowed to do so. Maybe they were together now, however, it was quite odd to let someone you barely know stay in your home without supervision. At least that's what Street thought. Not really keen on doing anything after having quite a night, it took him another forty minutes to get himself out of the comfortable, pleasantly smelling bed into the shower and then downstairs for a coffee. To his surprise, on the kitchen island, a single key lied next to a vibrantly pink note neatly folded in half with his name written on it, containing the cutest, most heart-warming message he's ever received:

Dearest boyfriend ♡

Work :(

Stay as long as you want!

Close the door pls

Jim couldn't stop a fond, intrusive smile from growing as he kept looking at the piece of paper.

That man's adorable sincerity surely will be the death of him. 

[cugzarui]

clarifying on how the show treats the concepts of good and bad: the show does portray things as being right or wrong but that's not where the focus is. the focus is on whether something harms people and whether it helps them get along. this is, for example, why the diamonds get 'redeemed' rather than say killed. after they learn steven has pinks gem, they don't want to fight anymore and instead agree to help. there's no practical benefit to fighting them after that point regardless of any wrongdoing they did in the past.

the characters as well can't be simply put into boxes of 'right' or 'wrong'. some specific things characters do are portrayed as right or wrong, but each character as a whole will serve at times as an antagonist and at others as a hero. steven included. white diamond included actually. and a lot of the right and wrong isn't some objective right or wrong, it's a more personal kind. for instance, garnet is right for wanting to be fused all the time because that's what's right for garnet, but peridot is right for never fusing because that's what's right for peridot.

overall the shows portrayal of right and wrong is: these are people. sometimes they hurt each other or even themselves. sometimes they help each other or stand up fir themselves. wouldn't it be nice if they could all get along and not be in pain?

the cases where the show does portray something as objectively bad is when it's something very clearly and deeply wrong. like the kindergarten.

as for how boundaries fit into this: it's not difficult to figure out how boundaries work. yea white diamonds boundaries were crossed. now that you mention it i can see that's definitely a thing that happened. that's why she corrupted a bunch of gems and pulled out steven's soul gem. if you cross someone's boundaries they will do something about it. that's what a boundary means. but she herself also crossed a near infinite fuckton of boundaries herself and was still actively doing so by the end of the show and refusing to help fix the damage she was causing (which as it turns out, just means stepping into a pool for a few secs so not that big a deal). if EVERYONES boundaries are being crossed you need to figure out a way to resolve that conflict. and that's what breaking into white diamonds head was about.

as for her being wrong: again, this is more evidence against the white is god interpretation. god isn't supposed to be wrong from what i've heard. however, people who act like god can absolutely be wrong. and you know what? what she believed didn't strictly need changing. yea it seems she's doing a lot better after changing her views and understanding, but all the show really needed her for was to fix the corrupted gems. which, again, just involves stepping into a pool for a sec. she could've done that without changing even slightly. or well, she was physically capable of doing that without changing. mentally, and this is why she needs to be 'fixed', is that her views and emotional state prevented her from undoing the metric fuckton of harm she caused.

and the reason why her mental state prevents her isn't strictly because she's wrong about people's identity either. it's because she's stuck in the denial stage of grief. she thinks steven is pink diamond and that now that pinks back everything could finally go back to normal. what? cure the corrupted gems? silly, they nearly killed you before remember? no we'll just leave them as they are you should've never had a colony to begin with. let's just forget that little blunder ever happened.

it's when she finally realizes pinks really gone that she can finally heal from her grief. and consequently, fix the damage she caused.

umm..that last part of your post. i have a bit of trouble parsing it so i can't answer. could you rephrase? the last two paragraphs

“At least it's not ferociously attacking God quite as directly as Steven Universe did…”

Not that I’m surprised by this statement, but can you elaborate on this? Kinda intrigued by your thoughts on Steven Universe.

Okie dokie, you’re not the only one who has asked me about this, so I suppose I’ll poke the hornet’s nest. 😅 I haven’t talked about this before because I assumed that everyone who wanted to hear my kinds of opinions on stories wasn’t watching or interested in Steven Universe.

It’s like asking vegetarian if they enjoyed a turkey dinner. The turkey dinner was so obviously not made for vegetarians to enjoy, so why would the vegetarian even bother analyzing the turkey?

But I think if some people are asking me why I think Steven Universe is anti-God (of the Bible) its because maybe they don’t know what the turkey is. Not completely. (Maybe not you, because like you said, you’re not surprised by my comment.) So I’ll explain my thoughts on Steven Universe.

If you’re just following me because you liked some stuff I posted, but didn’t realize that I’m a Bible-believing Christian and don’t want to hear about it, unfollow me now. Because I’m going to talk about some hot button issues here and the trolls will come out.

Steven Universe is really well-done. The jokes are funny, the writing is believable, the characters have great chemistry, great design, the concept is fascinating, the slow build-up and reveal of the plot elements is great. But when you watch the throne room scene in the last episode of Season 5 “Change Your Mind,” it’s alarmingly clear how much the whole show is not just settling for defending and championing the LGBTQ+ worldview—it goes all the way to attacking what Christians believe, on the other side.

Anything that’s pro-LGBTQ+ is doing that by default, but this show goes out of its way to do that.

You have to understand: God created and designed us. Deeper than that; He created and designed romantic relationships, and invented marriage. He didn’t just create love—He is love. So when humans come along and do what we’ve always done since the fall, and say, “I’d rather define what Your thing is and how it works for myself, God,” it’s not only an incredible slap in the face, it’s an attack on God’s actual identity—and it’s destructive for us and the people around us. Like a fish insisting it can breathe oxygen.

But Steven Universe goes beyond that. It knows that the Christian worldview is it’s biggest opposition. It digs right down to the heart of the worldview-battle. LGBTQ+ worldview says, “I should get to love what I want and be who I am, because I’m me. Love is love. (By which I mean, any action or relationship I choose to call love is love, because I’m the one calling it that.)”

Biblical worldview says “No, wait, you shouldn’t base your decisions on you alone; what you want changes day to day, and you’re broken, so you can’t ever be satisfied based on what you want—the Bible says God made you for something, and you rejected that, and it broke you. You’re not how you’re meant to be: even what you want and what you think love is is twisted up and can hurt you and others. But if you submit to God He’ll help you, He’ll fix what’s broken and give you new life by making you how you were supposed to be: He’ll live in you and through you.”

Are we beginning to get the picture?

See, the whole thing with the opposing views between LGBTQ+ and Christian people is as old as time. It’s not a new debate. It’s Satan and Eve in the garden. She says, “This is not how God said things should be,” and Satan says, “Are you sure that’s what He said? He knows if you do this thing, you’ll be like Him. You’ll be god: you’ll get to decide ‘how things should be’ for yourself.”

He lied and said that disobedience would satisfy her. That she knew what her own heart needed better than the God that made it did. That the very act of being imperfect would make her godlike.

And then Steven Universe comes along and says “if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hotdogs.”

And has a cast of created being characters who’s imperfections (Garnet’s forbidden “love,” Pearl’s obsession, Amethyst’s insecurity) are supposedly “the best thing about them; what makes them who they are.”

And has a main character who used to be a part of the god-like creator relationship, but used her power to come down to earth and completely change who she is into a fully different person.

And has a godlike Creator character who claims she “doesn’t need” her created beings (just like the God of the Bible) but they all have a little part of their creator in them so she has to repress their imperfections; she holds them all to a standard that’s impossible to reach called “perfection” and punishes them when they don’t meet it even though it hurts them to try; she expects them all to do what they were created by her for; she fixes them when they can’t meet her standard by shining her light through them and making them extensions of their Creator.

And has a main character who argues, fights back, tries to stop her, and is answered with lines that sound surprisingly like what LGBTQ+ people hear when Christians argue with them: “you’re only making things worse; you’re just deceiving yourself; even while you resist it your actual light can’t help shining through,” etc.

White Diamond just wants everything to be perfect. Like her. She just wants her created beings to “be themselves.” But what she means is, be how she created them to be.

And she’s the bad guy. She’s playing God in this show, and Rebecca Sugar is saying, “If God is telling us that can only be happy by being perfect, as He is perfect, and doing what He created us to do, then He’s wrong. Our imperfections are what make us special—unique—individuals—free—and there is nobody who has the right to take that freedom away from us, not even out creator!”

And you know what?

If God were like White Diamond, like Rebecca Sugar believes Him to be, Steven Universe would be right.

But He is NOT.

God is not a dictator who forces us to conform to a standard of perfection and then smashes us when we don’t meet it. He is a King who made us perfect to begin with, and we rejected him, because He allowed us to do that. He knew that true love was love that had to be chosen, and He wanted us to love Him by choice, so he gave us the option. But Rebecca Sugar doesn’t understand—there was never “Choose God or Choose Yourself.” There was only, “Choose God or Choose Nothing.” There was nothing except God. Then He created everything. There is no version of reality where you have something better than God, or even slightly less good but different, to pick. You’re not jumping from one ship into a smaller one, but at least it’s yours—you’re jumping from one ship into a void, and then complaining that there’s no other ship. That’s humans. That’s not God. / White Diamond didn’t make her creations perfect (Amethyst) and she didn’t make them for love. She made them for power. That’s not the God of the Bible.

Even when we did choose to try and love ourselves instead of God, and therefore warped our ability to perfectly love at all, He didn’t smash us. True, everything fell and was cursed, which is exactly what He warned us would happen if we chose it, but it was a natural consequence of breaking ourselves. And then He didn’t leave us that way. He didn’t give up on us. And He certainly didn’t just zap us, snap His fingers, quick-fix it and turn us all into robots who are extensions of Him, who say they love Him but only because it’s His voice puppeting us to say it.

No. He came to us, chose to give up His life at the exact point on the timeline when Romans, masters in the art of slow, humiliating, torturous death, would be the ones to carry out His crucifixion, and saved us Himself. Through the sacrifice of His own life. And even then, we still have a choice. We get to choose to accept that incredible self-sacrifice when we don’t deserve it, and be given new life and a relationship with the Creator who knows us and loves us better than we can love ourselves or receive love from others—OR we can just keep stubbornly insisting that our slavery to the opposite of what God wants is somehow freedom, and our twisted versions of love are genuine, and we’re not broken, and die like that. Die broken creatures who lived their whole lives stomping their feet and screaming “I’m not a creature, I’m a god!”

White Diamond sacrifices nothing, because Rebecca Sugar doesn’t know the God of the Bible. She just knows her idea of Him. She’s never actually gotten to know Him. If she had, she’d learn how silly and twisted her idea is.

Because you know what, yeah, if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hot dogs. But people aren’t pork chops. And hot dogs have flavor (not better than pork chops) but they are awful for you.

Christians aren’t perfect cuts of meat with no individuality or flavor. Just because we all know and love the same God doesn’t mean we have no personalities. It just means we don’t think so freaking much about what we are, or who we get to be, or what we like and want. Jeez, what a self-centered, narcissistic, self-obsessed way to live. She plays Steven like he’s this wonder-child, innocent and full of heart, who encourages his friends to love and keep trying. But honestly?

This is very pretty animation but it’s not real. Steven looks happy hugging Steven but self-love doesn’t ultimately get you that.

That’s all based on the premise that what he’s encouraging them to do is actually good, and will make them happy, and will help them love better. And it just won’t. Not in real life. That’s not how any of this works. Self-love is just self-obsession. And that is a sure-fire way to hurt you, and everyone around you.

You’ll never be free by choosing to run to a worse master. You’ll never be satisfied with your crappy attempts at loving yourself, because you were made to be loved flawlessly and forever by someone who is Love Himself.

And choosing to identify with your imperfections doesn’t make you uniquely you. It just makes you exactly like every other human being marching in the same line since the Fall.

White Diamond’s not relational. She’s up high and distant. That’s not God. He made you to be in relationship with Him. He loves you, totally and perfectly, and He proved it by sacrificing for You.

So yeah. That’s the problem with Steven Universe. Come get me, SU fans.

...oc...oc x canon!!!!

I was just drawing JD (my fnf oc) when i started browsing designs for him if he were in Pico's School,then I thought about Nene..then,well yah I think their cute (forget about Cerline for a sec)

JD: Hey,uh...Happy birthday Nene! Darnell told me how much ya like seals so I thought you'd like a plushie!

Nene: Aww~ It's so cute!!!

Them 💗

And some information on the Picos school version of JD:

JD would actually get braided his hair back then,but sometimes he would let his afro out,but he never liked how h would yet headaches after getting his hair braided so most of the time he would just leave his hair out.This is based on me cause I always get rely bad headaches after braiding my hair my head just feels heavy and weak man I hate it sm.

JD didn't attend Philadelphia School like Pico,Darnell and Nene and the others,I'd like to think he and Destiny were forced to attended a boarding school in Philadelphia or something.But they weren't unfamiliar with school shootings,JD and Destiny are TRAUMATISED...but they gotta stay silly!!!!

JD wasn't a asshole when he was younger,more of a class clown who was actually kinda smart but has a short temper and can lash out,will also call out people if he needs to.He ain't letting people be total jerks and not get some type of punishment for it. (He hates bullies with his life)

Also extra note JD's name stands fro his full name (Junior Démbéle) BTW some kids and teachers call him Junior.

Okay but I might draw a Pico's school design for Destiny later but for now

[mahixa]

here’s how I read Din’s expressions (and Pedro’s AMAZING A+ ACTING)

“shit. what am I-” you can feel the SHOCK. He is SHOCKED.

“what have I done. what have I done. what have I done.” it is clearly visible in his eyes that something has changed in him in that moment. His frowns as if something has HURT him. Physically.

“so it is done. there’s no turning back.” he doesn’t even look down at the machine. He stares at nothing in particular. I interpret it as a PHENOMENAL acting choice - he is so SHOCKED, that for a split SECOND he literally seems to FORGET why is he here. Taking his helmet off is too important, it has been too important, the most important thing in his life for so long, so his choice literally stops his movement. Yes, he has broken the rules. Taking his helmet off is too important. It was the most important rule of his life. But not anymore. Now there is something more important to him. Saving his child.

“right. Focus, Din. Focus. You have a job to do.” - he looks down again and comes back to his task. Like, how many thoughts this man has in his head at this point? Fighting for his child’s life, breaking the ultimate rule of his life, risking his own life, seconds passing... Wow. That has to be a lot.

“wait. what have I done. what have I-” here he’s waiting for the machine to continue the procedure. But Pedro does such a brilliant job right here, it’s very subtle, but the fact that he is so still, so frozen, fuck.

“please work. please work. I have just taken my helmet off. I- what. I feel like I’m going to faint.” the nervousness????? but so subtle? Like how one person is able to show SO MUCH while doing SO LITTLE? Someone give this precious boy all the awards.

“my face. the machine is scanning my... my.. you better WORK.” he is still processing the situation and his choice. You can also see the determination in his face. He is not as nervous as he was just 0.5 sec ago. He is staring as if he is ready for combat. He has sacraficed his rule number #12 so this better work!

“oh.” here we hear the machine stating “facial scan complete”. Facial. Face. His face. We don’t see him breathing with relief. He doesn’t relax. And it is not because he is literally surrounded by an army of the enemy. He is still processing his choice. He looks like he is almost disappointed in himself because he has heard this statement. Facial... face... And yes, to us it doesn’t come as a surprise. We knew he would take time to process something like that - we understand this because we’ve been analysing his character for over a year. But to many actors, this subtle choice would not be important. Many actors would sigh with relief as Din. Not Pedro, though. He understands Din. Yes, to Din, the child has clearly become his rule #1, but this is a lot to process. He has just admitted to himself that something, SOMEONE has become the most important thing in his life. And we get to experience that with him.

“should I... was that necessary?” like, no smirk from him is obvious. He is not celebrating. He has a job to do, and he tries really hard to focus on that and not react to the situation, but from what I understood here - maybe he even regrets this choice. NO - it DOES NOT mean he is not willing to sacrafice everything for Grogu. He has just proven he is READY to do so. But that doesn’t mean that loosing something (his rule) doesn’t leave you speachless and confused and scared and feeling ashamed and stupid and silly and with just a huge mess. This is the most complicated situation in his life. Like, was is all worth it? Hiding your face? Was it necessary? Or was breaking the rule necessary? Who am I? Am I worthless? And it is not just showing his face to ONE person. He has a lot of people around him. CAN YOU IMAGINE what he is going through right here? Standing naked in a crowd, pretty much.

“yes. yes. it was necessary. now focus, Din, FOCUS.” I can read his expression as this “come back to reality, NOW” kinda thing. He is coming to terms with his decision. Does that mean he is done processing it? NO. Hell no! It’s been like what, 23 seconds? Our local space dad has A LOT to process. But here he is more determined than 0.1 sec ago. He is like, let’s go back to business. You’ll think about that later. You did it for the kid. Of course it was necessary.

“let’s go.” I can’t even begin to explain what I am seeing here? In his eyes? Pedro, sir. How are you doing this?

Feel free to add in the comments how you guys interpret this scene. I wanna talk about it! Let’s celebrate the beauty and strength and love which Din symbolizes!

[basedkikuenjoyer]

Time was meaningless before, now I feel obligated to play with the order of this one. 1060 is a banger and I’ll say this first off. From the start when I raised the idea of a twist around Kiku/Yamato, I did say I could see it being the right logic but a setup for say, Vivi. Hancock last chapter seemed like another good outlet than can sorta straddle that thematic line. Bonney? Holy shit never even considered her but she’s perfect! If I had the rough idea but the answer was Bonney having a big role like Law/Bege for a bit? Love it, watch where she flips and seems inconsistent or two-faced. That said...if you made it with me this far:

🎶 Bonney, Bonney. Bonney...BOOOOOOONNNEEEYYYYYYY!!!! I’m beggin Oda please go with this plan. 🎶

Think about it, think about it, think about it. This is stupidly easy and it’s a perfect mirror to how we were meeting Kin in the first place. What role have I spun for Kiku as a new recruit? A big sister, nanny type Quartermaster. So what’s a great, borderline hackneyed trope plot for showing the virtue of such a character? I dunno, some kinda magic power turns all the crew into kids? Who cares about the specifics the concept is 24kt, surgical-grade gold. Know why? Returning the Favor for Kin’emon! Supernova tags the crew with a silly power that can really fuck em over and yes...if Luffy and Chopper (our Udon crew) get sucked out into a side story I 100% can see a nice establishing encounter out of Kiku & Bonney. Luffy can topple some local   tyrant or whatever.

As perfect of an out as Bonney is for the themes, she’s also a great step forward for what I’ve been talking about. Mixed up time girls, winter island means kiddie Straw Hats will know what starving on the streets of Ringo felt like, them being hampered but not quite incapacitated is the perfect spotlight for a new Jill-of-All-Trades. Bonney’s own time abilities are perfect for unpacking our skewed Wano time. 

Well hey! It’s that scene we talked about. You know, the one where if we kept showing it we’d see Luffy explain how Ace doesn’t like to show weakness. This is one of Fallensnowfan’s and it took me a sec, but honestly yeah seasickness could be a fun excuse. The idea is if Yamato built that much of a bond Kiku could easily be in Usopp territory and socially graceful enough it didn’t need to be spelled out. It could have been agreed to before the Raid even! The hook is keeping it subtle, but she did slip in “Torao-san” at the halfway mark. The big moments have happened, we need to sort out our time oddities though through the reveal.  Playing with character knowledge and reader knowledge.

Chronic seasickness is a bomb gag for her no one else has, plays nice with this quirk she shares with Ace and is perfect for our timing needs. If she’s just seasick there’s no reason to worry or blab a lot about her, you’d just be adding shame to illness. Also a callback to Kin’s stomach issues in Act 1 and would work with the potential 1058 cameo. Just saying, perfect excuse to keep her out of sight and free from the initial setup if we’re doing kiddie Strawhats.

Then there’s this classic gag we had let’s see...right before Robin joined. With oh a t/n...probably something like “keikaku means plan.” No, wait, is it? It’s that pun I was waiting all Act 2 for! Big Mom & the Big Mum, featuring Chopper, Tama, & Momo. But well, it is a callback for Vivi too.

Robin, you’re about as blatantly taunting me as Law was about not needing to be a hyena to sniff out a mystery like who’s absent from the party. I love you. Oh yeah, and Caribou. Like...we know they shoved his evil ass in that barrel and chained it. Just the fact we never saw that though is weird. Okay, but one last big one I’m kicking myself from scrubbing off of last week’s post. Last time I ever worry about being too long-winded.

The hidden dream. Forget what it is for now, just the fact Luffy has a hidden dream he keeps to himself because people tend to laugh and it seems impossible anyways. Gee, who on Wano might be able to relate to something like that? Kiku doesn’t need a complex dream, hers is obvious and fate defying but she’s too guarded to easily cough it up. Oden/Kin callously laughed, Izo snipped at her, overheard people making fun of her, group of girls excluded her. Doesn’t have to be much. The fun is in the dramatic irony we know it’s something that can be sorted out easily by the time we meet her. No sense in saying anything until you actually meet up with Iva anyways. It be cruel to dangle that and not be able to deliver.

Just saying...I can certainly live with Bonney being the focal point for where all this was headed. That would be awesome to me actually because Jewelry Bonney is a riot! But it’s the same thing I always thought about Vivi. You’re someone we know was kinda spur of the moment by Oda’s own admission. Kiku goes even deeper in his history even if we meet her later.

[ceaseless-watchers-special-girl]

that's it that's my comment

"I feel like a slug" this made me laugh a little bit, bittersweetly. he's grieving and in so much pain, but he's still only like 17 and he expresses it in silly, simple ways like this. he's too young to be hurting this much.

iris has to keep sedating him???? damn. that's so very rough on the both of them.

"when I made the comment that I would sooner die from choking on vomit than starvation, they shut up and walked off. Serves them fucking right" BAIRD SHUT THE FUCK UP THEY'RE TRYING THEIR BEST. BEING HURT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HURT OTHERS

"My revolution is dead. My parents are dead. Charlie is… dead." stopppppp i can't believe he said it. he said it out loud. that makes it feel so much more real.

and "my revolution is dead" is killing me. what's the use of a revolution which causes the deaths of the people you were fighting for?

"Say that again" this sentence struck so much fear in to me oh my god

"You don't care about me. You feel obligated to stay because of a loose promise you made with my dad" these are all absolute fucking lies, and baird knows this deep down (i hope). but that doesn't stop him from lashing out. and he's been building up to an outburst at iris for a while now, hasn't he? it's about time they make him understand that they're sticking around because they care

"egregiously, arrogant, ignorant, and downright selfish" oh fuck iris is going off now

"And I’m sorry I can’t be your fucking parent" oh, bless them, they're trying so hard

"You’re all I have left, dammit" oh. oh my god. they're all each other have left.

"(BAIRD’S VOICE CRACKS) I want my mom–" if i actually let myself think about this for more than 10 seconds i will start sobbing uncontrollably. how dare. how dare.

"That was– uncalled for. That was mean. I’m sorry. I forget your just a kid, I’m sorry" IRIS I'M LOVE YOU

"I’m going to look after you because I need you" oh, shit

"I want you to see past forty. I want you to be alive. And the only way I know to ensure that, is if I drag you into tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that." i think zeph said something about coming back and reading this later when they need to. yeah. i'll be doing that too.

"Your voice is going to outlive all of us, Baird." jay you've fucking done it again. there go the tears

"I can’t be your parent, but I hope you’ll let me take care of you. We’ll take everything together, one day at a time. One step after another." this makes their relationship make so much sense, and it makes it feel so much more precious. they're sticking with each other not because they work well together, but because they've lost people, the same people, and they need each other to have the strength to keep their memory alive.

"BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): And Iris? (IRIS HUMS) I think I’m hungry.  IRIS: Then let’s eat. Shall we? SOUND: COMMS BEEPS. RECORDING ENDS." i don't know why this was the most perfect way to end the recording but it absolutely was

"They got Baird’s voice out to someone else. (HOW???)" YEAH HOW????

"And I’m going to do my part, and I’m gonna get it out even further" FUCK YEAH YOU ARE QUEEN

"Frannie’s friend emailed me" RITA EMAILED CALYPSO DIRECTLY??? THEY'VE BEEN IN CONTACT NOW???? WHAT IS GOING ON WHEN DO WE GET RITA IN THIS FIC???!!!

"The New Kinshasan Threat was almost 30 years ago" this was when nureyev threatened them???? gimme one sec *does maths*

NUREYEV IS OVER 40 NOW???? ISN'T HE LIKE 38 IN CANON RN??? SO THIS IS POST CANON??? OR DID SOME CANON EVENTS NOT HAPPEN IN THIS FIC??? OR DID THEY ALL HAPPEN BUT JUNO AND RITA AND NUREYEV ARE ALL DONE WITH DOKANA AND LIVING OUT THEIR GAY LITTLE LIVES SOMEWHERE SAFE??? DOES CALYPSO GET TO MEET THEM????

"if what Baird said is true in the first recording “Belief” then I probably won’t stand a chance to find any records of them anywhere." noooo calypso keep going girlie!! don't let your crown slip!!! you can do this!! even with the very limited information you have!!!

also i love that she's given the recordings lil names it's adorable to me

Our Angel of Brahma, pt. viii

Me: I gotta slow down on updates to finish this semester with a bang. Also me: WRITING MORE!!

@ceaseless-watchers-special-girl @ananxiousgenz @gwenlena @demonic-panini @the-private-eye

SOUND: COMMS BEEPS. RECORDING BEGINS. BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): It doesn’t feel real. Charlie he was just– he was just here last month. Ugh. I feel like a slug. Whatever Iris has been dosing me with I can’t stand. It’s making me sick. I need to eat. I can’t stomach anything though. I am hungry. But I can’t bring myself to eat. It is a vicious cycle. Iris bothered me again about trying to eat, and when I made the comment that I would sooner die from choking on vomit than starvation, they shut up and walked off. Serves them fucking right.  Mrs. Camilla gave me my comms back. She… hugged me. Embraced me. If there was anything left of me, I might have cried.  But there’s nothing of me. Nothing left to me. My revolution is dead. My parents are dead. Charlie is… dead. (SHAKING GASP) SOUND: COMMS BEEPS. RECORDING ENDS. 

SOUND: COMMS BEEPS AGAIN. RECORDING BEGINS. BARID (REVOLUTIONARY): Say that again.  IRIS: Excuse me? BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): Say what you just told me, again.  IRIS: Okay… I said, “You can continue to lie here, that’s fine, but I will drag you into tomorrow. And the next day, and the day after that.”  BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): Why? IRIS: Why? Because you have to?  BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): No, I don’t. You won’t let me go out and do dangerous things, you don’t acknowledge me throughout the day. I don’t have any friends left or any family left. You don't care about me. You feel obligated to stay because of a loose promise you made with my dad.  (A LONG, DRAWN OUT PAUSE OF SILENCE. BABIES LAUGHTER CAN BE HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND) IRIS: Baird… I have never met someone say something, so… egregiously, arrogant, ignorant, and downright selfish. You don’t think I care about you? You don’t think I give a shit about you? I’m hurt. I’m truly hurt.  I’m sorry I can’t bring back the dead. I’m sorry I’m not dead. I’m sorry your best friend is dead. I’m sorry I’m sticking around because I do give a shit about you. I’m sorry your parents are dead. And I’m sorry I can’t be your fucking parent.  (IRIS LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY) Is that what you want? You want me to be your fucking parent?  BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): No. IRIS: Then what the fuck do you want from me? And don’t tell me you want me to go away. Cause I’m not going anywhere. You’re all I have left, dammit.  BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): I want… I want… (BAIRD’S VOICE CRACKS) I want my mom– (BAIRD BEGINS TO SOB. IRIS SIGHS) IRIS:  Oh– come here.  (FABRIC RUSTLING. BAIRD CONTINUES TO SOB) I’m sorry, Baird. That was– uncalled for. That was mean. I’m sorry. I forget your just a kid, I’m sorry. BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): You– you keep saying– saying that. IRIS: I know. I don’t think there’s anything else I can say… Oh, you poor mess. Where’s your comms? I have something I need you to hear now, and I want you to be able to listen back to it when you need to. (BAIRD PASSES THE COMMS OFF TO IRIS) I’m not going to be your parent, Baird. I promised Cyrus that I would look after you because he loved you. I’m going to look after you because I need you. Cyrus gave me hope when I had none. He made me believe in the revolution. I thought I would die before I lived to see past forty. But here I am. Three more years. And I don’t know what’s gonna happen to Brahma. Our future is uncertain. But that will always be.  My hope for you, Baird, is to get you to where I am. I want you to see past forty. I want you to be alive. And the only way I know to ensure that, is if I drag you into tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. If you die, what becomes of Charlie’s legacy? What about your parents’?  I know you can’t think of finding the light, or a will to live right now. And I know you hate me. That’s fine. You can hate me for the rest of your life, I’m still going to be here to make sure you live longer than me. Your voice is going to outlive all of us, Baird. Charlie believed that. And I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that happens.  (IRIS SIGHS) I love you, Baird. I can’t be your parent, but I hope you’ll let me take care of you. We’ll take everything together, one day at a time. One step after another. That’s all we can do right now. (BAIRD WHEEZES AND COUGHS. THEY SNIFFLE) BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): Okay… okay. Iris? IRIS: Yeah? BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): I’m not a kid.  IRIS: No, you’re not.  BAIRD (REVOLUTIONARY): And Iris? (IRIS HUMS) I think I’m hungry.  IRIS: Then let’s eat. Shall we? SOUND: COMMS BEEPS. RECORDING ENDS. 

- How many times did Baird listen back to this recording? How much did it stick with them? Because clearly in the Decade recording, Baird is feeling better. They’re alive. He’s somewhat(?) thriving (as much as he can on Brahma). This recording would explain why though in that recording Iris is still around. This recording was the start of a mutual agreeance.

- Even if Baird is dead today, Iris and Charlie did it. They got Baird’s voice out to someone else. (HOW???) And I’m going to do my part, and I’m gonna get it out even further. 

- UPDATE: Frannie’s friend emailed me with a list of every documented Baird in the galaxy born within the last 60 years. Half of them are already dead. I don’t know if this Baird is dead today. The New Kinshasan Threat was almost 30 years ago? It’s very hard to keep track of when Baird and the others all made these recordings. I’ll keep the list just in case, but if what Baird said is true in the first recording “Belief” then I probably won’t stand a chance to find any records of them anywhere.

(A/N… this is in the narrator’s POV.)

[night of the party]

The lipstick slid over Y/N’s lips, staining them blood red. She studied herself in the mirror checking that everything was perfect. Her phone rang causing her to slightly jump. She tiptoed to it and answered. “Hello?” She whispered, careful that no one would hear her. “We’re just down the road. You ready?” Axl’s voice echoed. “Yeah I’ll be there in a sec.” She then hung the phone up. After checking once more that the door was locked, Y/N slowly opened her window. Once the grassy ground was in sight she threw her small purse out the window and prepared herself to be next. Even though she tried, it was very apparent that heels weren’t ideal for climbing out of a window. “God damn heels!” She whisper-yelled as she took the shoes from her feet and let them join her purse on the cold ground. She was now hanging halfway out of the window when she felt the soft grass between her toes. She stumbled to her feet before closing the window. Her purse and heels were waiting for her on the ground not too far from where she stood. She grabbed the items and jogged down the road until she saw Axl’s car. The car door opened to reveal Axl in the driver's seat. “Hello miss. Did you order a taxi?” Axl asked, using a horrible British accent. “You’re such a dork.” She laughed and slid into the passenger's seat. “Hi Y/N!” Steven excitedly exclaimed from the backseat. “Hey Stevie” she responded. Izzy, who was also in the backseat, simply nodded his head in acknowledgement of Y/N’s presence. Y/N turned her attention to the road when Axl began driving. The radio was on so loud that Y/N could practically feel the bass. As the car rolled up to Duff’s house Y/N could feel her heart beating just a bit faster at the thought that soon she would be flirting with Slash.

[...]

The dimly lit room wreaked of alcohol and sex. After all, that is what it was filled with. Y/N turned her head many times to avoid seeing couples that had gone too far...at least to be in front of people. Her eyes scanned the room as she searched for the man her attention would be on tonight. Slash. As she entered the living room she finally found what she had been looking for. The curly haired man was sat on a couch in the corner of the room. Surprisingly, alone. As she sauntered towards him she couldn’t help but smile to herself. She acted as if she was a lion stalking their prey. She looked graceful, yet her intent was sinful. Slash’s eyes locked on her when she was only a few feet away. He watched how her hips swayed, hypnotizing him more with each step she took. He was snapped into reality when she sat herself next to him. She was facing him. Her elbow was perched on the back of the couch and her head lightly rested on her hand. Slash stared into her eyes, observing the beautiful orbs. Y/N laughed airily at his contentment. Slash cleared his throat and looked away from the girl. “I uh..didn’t expect to see you here.” He snarked. “Guess that goes for both of us.” She traced her finger down his arm, catching his attention immediately. “What are you doing?” he asked, confusion apparent in his voice. She ignored his comment as her finger made its way to his chest. He was wearing a black button up that was halfway unbuttoned, which she intended to use to her advantage. His eyes watched as her finger traced sloppy shapes on his skin. “Y/N seriously what are you doing?” he asked again. This time however, he didn’t sound so sure of himself. Almost like he was asking himself the question. Did he want this to happen? “Ya know Saul..” her voice was now a low, seductive whisper. She leaned into him, her hot breath fanning over his ear. “I’m not wearing any panties under this skirt.” His eyes widened at her comment as he turned to look at her. She made sure to maintain eye contact with him while he looked at her in shock. Was that a slight blush on his cheeks? No, couldn’t be...well maybe. “H-how much alcohol have you had tonight Y/N?” he stuttered. Y/N was now staring at Slash’s mouth as she licked her lips. The gap between their lips was now merely centimeters. “None.” she whispered breathlessly as her lips ghosted over his. Just as Slash attempted to close the gap between them, Duff’s voice pierced the air. “Y/N!” He yelled from the middle of the room. “See ya.” she stated simply as she made her way to Duff. Slash couldn’t help but feel aggravated. He was so close to getting what he had wanted for so many years. “Hey duffles.” Y/N giggled at his clearly drunken state. “Okay okay okay listen to this..” He slurred. “Are you a parking ticket? Because you’ve got fine written all over you.” Duff laughed at himself which caused him to hiccup. The boys were like brothers to Y/N, but when they were drunk they sometimes flirted with her. She never did anything with them though. Y/N could feel Slash’s gaze on them and it kind of excited her knowing that he couldn’t look away. “Good one Duff.” she chuckled. She stood there as she listened to the rest of the stupidly silly pick up lines he had for her. “Hey Y/N?” “Yeah?” she stared at the blond as she waited for a response. “I’m really horny do you think we could…” he trailed off. Slash’s gaze was still on the two. His jaw clenched as he watched the bassist flirt with Y/N. Rage was building within him. It felt as if he had fire coursing through his veins. Though, what he wanted to do with that rage was different from anything he felt before. He didn’t want to yell at Duff or cuss him out. As ridiculous as it sounded he wanted to fuck her. It seemed as though his rage fueled something inside him. Something that would make Y/N forget all about Duff. Almost as if it was instinct, he stood up and began walking towards Y/N. “Duff, listen you’re drunk and-” she was cut off when Saul grabbed her arm and began dragging her with him. “Slash? What are you doing?” The guitarist didn’t bother

answering her question. His fist pounded on the rickety bathroom door before opening it. He slammed the door behind them and instantly attached his lips to Y/N’s. He lifted her so that she was sitting on the sink. “No panties huh?” He whispered as he slid his hand under her skirt. However before he could do anything Y/N grabbed his hand. “What do you think you’re doing?” she asked even though she knew very well what he was doing. “Y/N please.” She was surprised by his words, but didn’t let it show. Y/N could feel Slash’s hard on pressed against her thigh. “Sorry babe but I’m not letting you fuck me in a stingy bathroom.” She teased. “Then where can I?” he asked desperately. “What about this Friday, my place, after school?” Slash’s eyes lit up. “Sure,” he said rather excitedly. She hopped down from her place on the sink and made her way towards the door. “You’re really gonna leave me with this huh?” he pointed to the obvious bulge in his pants. “I’m sure you can manage.” she laughed before walking out the door. He sighed in defeat...this is gonna be a long night.
