MAKE IT UP...DEALER!MATT.

WARNINGS: sub matt, talk of drugs(?), matt the munch!

"Y'gonna ride with me or what?"

Of course you are. You love driving around with Matt. You love sitting in the front seat of his Hellcat, sticking your head out the window, occasionally stealing his vape, blasting whatever music he'll let you play on aux, but you love the way he waits on your words.

"Ma', I got people waitin' on me." You hum, applying your pink glittery lip gloss in the mirror. "Know you can hear me."

"Only because you begged."

You're fine. Slumped in the front seat in Matt's sunglasses that he keeps telling you are 'expensive' and 'should take off', but won't actually take them off you as he drives to whoever hit him up next.

You'd be knocked out if the sun wasn't burning your skin through the sunroof. "Hi, Matty." The fuck?

You know that voice. That girl hates your guts. It'd be different if she just hated you in private, gossiped about you with her friends in her dorm—But it's in your face, when you're right in front of them.

You fucking despise her. You huff, squirming in the reclined seat, turning away from her voice even as you feel her eyes stab into your body.

It's none of your business, who Matt fucks outside of you because you're not together. But you can feel your eye twitch at every high-pitched giggle she let's out.

You let out a long overdue sigh as he pulls off, turning towards him and tilting his sunglasses glasses down. "What?"

"Whatever." He moves his left hand on the wheel to your thigh, squeezing it. You roll your eyes, "Kid, m' not a fuckin' mind reader."

"She hates me." He smirks, you bite the inside of your cheek, "Is fucking every girl that hates me a mission of yours?" You rip off his sunglasses, dropping them in the cup holder.

He scoffs, "Here we fuckin' go—Look I'll make it up to you, alright?"

You huff, crossing your arms and gazing out the windows. "Yeah, we'll see."

"Fuc-ck!— mhf!—" You moan, back arching off the seat. Matt was very serious about making it up to. As soon as he pulled into this empty, he practically begged to give you head.

It's messy. It's so messy. His spit and your arousal are running down your thighs, and it's definitely all over the seat. You can barely breathe, really, Matt's given you head before, but this is different. Its... filthy.. primal even.

You gasp harshly, low eyes meeting yours.. you practically cum right there. He hums around your clit, making you whine. "Taste so sweet, mama...."

You grab onto the seat for leverage, and he quickly moves your hand to his hair. The way he's looking at you clearly tells you that he wants you to use him for pleasure.

You'll give him what he wants.

His eyes roll back immediately as you tightly grab his hair. He lets out a high-pitched whine as you grind on his tongue. "M-matt— you're gonna—!—"

You roll your hips, seeing white as you bite down on your bottom lip hard to draw blood. You pant, Matt's nails digging into your thighs, grounding you. Matt still eagerly laps at your cunt, making you let out a overstimulated whimper.

You attempt to pull him away by his hair but he just whines into your pussy making you give up, slumping in your seat and catching your breath.

He finally pulls away, chin and lips all messy from your essence. "... Sorry... jus' tasted so good." He mumbles, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

He searches your eyes, "Y'still mad?"

"A little."

a/n: SHE CAN RIDE MY FACE I DONT WANT NOTHING IN RETURN

[cryomancers-orb]

I don't know this person and I'm not even too into mw anymore, but wow dude you are being way too harsh.

I mean, yeah the concept is very in-your-face and kind of stale, and messily executed besides. Can't say I'm a fan. But I get what they're going for and as you can see there's a lot of people who really liked it. And of course they did: this is obviously made by a teenager or at least someone young, and the same goes for their audience.

Perfect human übermensch Curly and comically distraught Jimmy is a very simple concept and most of your qualms come from the person taking the easiest steps tı make them foils to each other. Of course there are some traits that are generally undesirable. Contrasting them with generally desirable traits in a non-nuanced way doesn't make the writer a bigot. It just makes them a novice writer who's more focused on the shipping aspect of the thing anyways, which is completely understandable for a fan project.

Also, real life: mentally ill people can be draining to the people around them. This can be partially their fault or not their fault at all, depending on the case. Addicts also harm their loved ones, even if just by harming themselves. You can't flowers and rainbows will that away. Yes, all addicts should seek to recover as soon as they possibly can.

Nobody has said a word about not deserving love. Having things about you you need to change doesn't mean you're unworthy of love, but you still must work to change those things regardless. We don't do better to deserve love, we do it to make the lives of ourselves and the people we love better.

And how exactly is this person putting down bottoms? I think this is your own projection. Let me tell you something, fandom spaces (esp Tumblr) are a place where women are generally the majority and subconsciously or not we tend to make our favorites the bottom because they kind of serve as a self insert. You may reject this idea, but I think you'l find merit to it once you do some observation. And considering people like to make their faves suffer, I can tell Jimmy is the bottom simply because the artist likes him more. There's no conspiracy here.

Lastly: my GOODNESS. Whitewashing? In which universe is the guy below not white? Who's white then, Casper the friendly ghost?

So yeah. Let's not bully a (likely) teenager just trying to make some art. C'mon now. Don't like it, scroll.

(Also lmao like obv artist doesn't hate hyperpop. If you can't tell that they mean Jimmy isn't good at it with the quotation marks, you gotta take some comprehension classes man it can't be good for you to get so mad so frequently)

Jimmedicated timeline AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

FINALLY I CAN POST THINGD OMG

[whereispearlescentmoon]

Man Gross by Penelope Scott is such a Life Series Shiny Duo Song, specifically from a Gem point of view.

Analysis under the cut, warning this song has a lot of cursing:

“It was so easy with you, so salty and gross

Made me feel clean by comparison”

Gem in Secret Life telling Pearl she’s scared of her when she’s red. Her saying Pearl and Scar’s 2v1 was gross. To Gem, Pearl makes Gem look good next to her.

“I'm never gonna feel good again

I've played this game all the way to the end

Look at this stupid little song for you

You're pretty good at this game, too”

Objectively Gem knows Pearl is good at the Life games. She’s won one after all. And she knows she’ll be good at it too, it’s why there’s such a target on her. But both times she has failed to anticipate that Pearl is better than her at playing the game. Not at fighting or killing, but at the game. Because unlike Gem, Pearl isn’t playing offensively, she isn’t challenging people to 1v1s, she isn’t jumping into fights. And that’s frustrating.

“I wish I didn't miss you

Or that I liked you at all

I wish I had the guts to fuck my own life up

I wish I had your set of balls”

Gem is only egging Pearl on because she misses her. She misses that brief moment of connection in Secret Life. She also knows that she’s a target and that makes her allies targets too. It’s why she literally wore one in WL.

“But I'm a chemical compound

I'm just the ring you take off

I'm just the next little girl you fake it with

Before you go, make it work with the one that you love”

Gem was, in her eyes, discarded by Pearl in SL. Sure, they didn’t have a formal alliance, but Pearl and Gem and the Scotts had a friendship. Gem and Pearl had the murder camel. Gem calls Pearl over to her side and Pearl does the same, neither willing to budge. Pearl attacks Gem and says she doesn’t know why she’s doing it. And Pearl makes Scar a Mounder, takes his side, lands a blow on Gem to solidify it. She chooses her team over Gem.

“I wish I never met you

Or that I wanted you still”

Gem doesn’t want to be Pearl’s ally in Wild Life, she makes that clear. She taunts her and threatens her and tells Scott to keep her in line. At every chance that Pearl reaches out, Gem slaps her hand down. But she still remembers their red life spree in Secret Life. She tells Pearl they can be friends when they’re both red. She’s grasping at memories of a dynamic they no longer have.

“I wish I had the guts to fuck my own life up

I wish you'd just come over and kill me”

This one is quite literal. Gem in Wild Life told Pearl she wanted a 1v1 over and over. She doesn’t care if Pearl wins. In fact, she knows Pearl might. She just wants what she believes is a fair fight. She literally stands still and lets Pearl try to kill her in the final session.

“And I don't even resent that

Do you get that I don't even object

I don't mind what you meant

But then how dare you express

Whatever brand of respect this is

When I made sure that we both know I'm a mess”

Pearl may see the fact that she doesn’t do 1v1s as a sign of respect. She’s intimidated by Gem, that’s why she wants to catch her in traps or kill her in a group. But to Gem it’s frustrating. It’s cheap. Pearl is good at PvP, Gem keeps repeating that when they fight on other servers it tends to be 50/50 who wins. Whatever kind of respect Pearl is showing, Gem doesn’t want it.

“I hate it most when they're kind

When they have meaningful lives

And I'm the awful one standing next to them

It was an earnest suggestion, a real connection

Every part of me poses a threat to them”

Pearl does reach out to Gem over and over in Wild Life. Gem knows she’s being unreasonable, that she’s causing drama on purpose. She literally says to Pearl that’s she’s not even that mad about the 2v1, she just wants to make drama (which I think is her trying to look more unaffected than she is). She knows it doesn’t make her look good. That losing that moral high ground means losing her whole argument against Pearl. But she also can’t lose her emotional high ground. It doesn’t make her look good to keep rejecting someone who approaches with open arms. But it does make her look like she’s in control.

“And if you're mean, then they'll laugh

Like they don't understand

If you got it, you would fucking go home, well

Say that you want me still, say I'm just mentally ill

Or I'm just a bitch, but, you'll never know”

This bit makes me think of the RoboPearl conversation. Gem and Joel were literally mocking Pearl to her face and treating her like a dog to be ordered around and Pearl just sat there and beep booped pathetically. It wasn’t until that moment that Gem told Pearl that when they were both red they could have fun again. She needed Pearl beneath her to make the offer.

“But I'm a chemical compound

You're just the gun in my mouth

If you'd stop romanticizing who I am at parties

You'd find your way out”

If Pearl stopped thinking about Gem as the Gem from Secret Life, she wouldn’t keep coming back in Wild Life. If she could see Gem for who Gem is at the moment, someone who doesn’t want her, then she would walk away. But if there’s anything know from Double Life, it’s that Pearl doesn’t give up on her friends that easily.

“I wish I weren't a liar

I wish that I could be kind”

Gem isn’t kind in Secret Life. No one is, but she has a reputation. She’s responsible for most of the server dying because of her Boogey task. It’s why she spends so much of Wild Life trying to make friends. She needs to prove that she can be kind.

“I wish that I could trust you

That things would turn out fine”

And how can Gem trust Pearl again? She thought they had a bond in Secret Life, she thought that being friends was enough. So instead, she pushes her away and tells her to go back to her allies. She won’t be hurt like that again.

“But I'm a chemical compound

I'm just a flash in your hand

And if you don't wanna play, just say so

And you'll never ever see me again”

If Pearl didn’t keep approaching Gem, they probably would have barely talked in Wild Life. She stuck to her little island with Joel and made friends with everyone but the Gs.

my oh my, you dirty little girl ᥫ᭡。

nikki sixx x female reader

requested ⟢ [Nikki walking in on reader masturbating? I feel like he'd go insane] i couldn't agree more anon, enjoy! ༝༚

word count: 1050

you were feeling so needy the last couple of days. nikki has been non stop teasing you, doing absolutely anything in his power to make you a squirming, desperate mess. only then to keep you on edge, ignoring your whorish demands. it was a game he was playing, a very dangerous one.

it started off small with random dirty messages, even while you both were in the same room. he had a cocky smirk plastered onto his face as he hit sent, watching your phone screen light up on the table. as you grabbed your phone, your eyes instantly widened, feeling that familiar warmth crash onto your core, crossing your legs to relieve some of the pressure.

𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦:

does your pussy miss my tongue babygirl? tell daddy how much of a deprived little girl you are.

𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦:

you're such a daddy's girl, i love it, come over here and suck my cock, nice and hard.

looking back at nikki, biting your bottom lip, trembling as you held back the moans that were building up inside of you. nikki laughed to himself as he watched you from across the room, never taking his eyes off of you. he brought his finger to his mouth, signaling to you to be quiet, as he pulled his attention back to the other people that were in the room.

ugh, what a fucking tease.

enough was enough. you couldn't handle his little game anymore. it was driving you mad. as the day progressed, you ended up making your way into the bedroom, sneaking in, trying not to be too obvious. nikki didn't have many rules for you, but the one he hated to see you break the most was you touching yourself. he found it almost insulting, but then again he loved seeing you acting like the dirty slut that you are for him.

in the matter of seconds, you spread your legs, almost bare as your body hugged the sheets. closing your eyes, the feeling was overwhelming you, your whole body was a tingling, sensitive bundle of nerves.

bringing your finger to your clit, you began to make soft circles, the built up causing this motion to have a far more aggressive effect on you. the room reeked with your moans, gasps and smell. overwhelmed with pleasure, your groans becoming louder and louder, ricocheting off the walls.

nikki on the other hand, overheard your moans from a few doors down the hallway. his body froze, as his expression held a mixture of emotions; lust, disappointment and need.

slowly, he walked across the wooden floors of his house, not wanting to interrupt your alone time. nikki stood close to the bedroom door, his grip on the door handle tightening, listening, his dominant nature overthrowing him.

in the midst of everything, the door was slammed open, roughly hitting the wall, the vibrations and sound taking you out of your trance. all you could do was stare at nikki, your hand still in the same position as before. your cheeks getting hot, embarrassment coursing through your body, you're in trouble, big time.

my oh my, what do we have here? you dirty little girl...

nikki's gaze darkened, as he tsked at you, shaking his head from side to side. crossing his arms, he couldn't believe what he walked into.

i-'im so sorry, i-i needed-

nikki cut you off mid sentence, his words coming out like venom,

you needed what hmm? you couldn't be patient and wait like a good girl, that's what i'm seeing here. no, please, continue, let daddy watch you.

even though his words came out in a harsh tone, he couldn't help the smile that was creeping up on his face. nikki chuckled as he knelt down on the bed, sitting right in front of you, getting the perfect shot of your dripping pussy.

don't make me repeat myself baby doll, i don't see you moving your hand. since you wanted to be such a bad girl for daddy, you might as well put on a show for me.

nodding your head, as you placed your finger, adding pressure back on your swollen clit. your head immediately falling on the pillow. nikki groaned to himself, watching every single movement, his cock growing as his pants began to stretch, his breath heavy.

mhm, fuck darling, your pussy is so needy. look at the mess you made.

all b-because of you daddy...

nikki's grip on the sheets tightened, the veins in his hand popping out. he moved his hand, inching closer and closer to your core. making a gentle swift motion, up and down your pussy lips. the softness of your skin causing chills up nikki's arms.

watching you become undone in the bed was making nikki lose his mind. so much so that drool leaked from his mouth, landing on the silky fabric. taking his hand, wiping the liquid off his face, his mouth salivating.

daddy needs his mouth on you, little one. be a good girl and let daddy taste you.

looking at nikki, your face dripping in sweat and ecstasy, you moved your hand to the side, preparing yourself.

your body was already sensitive, the last few days of nikki's teasing felt like years to you. growling to himself, he lowed his head, his lips placing kisses on your pussy before making his way, spitting on your clit.

mhmm, so so delicious honey, i fucking adore this pussy. it's mine, all mine, isn't that right darling? and you better not act like a brat right now, you better say "yes daddy it's all yours."

as you tried to utter the words out, you couldn't concentrate properly, feeling nikki's tongue and vibrations hitting all the right places.

ahhh my baby can't talk right now? daddy knows just where to touch his little plaything.

a moan escaped your lips, feeling that familiar heat come up to the surface. gasping for air, your legs began to shake. nikki devilishly laughing into your pussy.

ah ah ah, is my babygirl coming? daddy didn't give you permission, you're breaking so many rules today. what a disobedience little thing you are.

⤷ even though you were in desperate need before, no one, not even your own touch could compare to nikki, as he made that very clear to you that night.

[bl-inded]

Faifa deserved to have better friends in the show! Because they didn't give him that, I think Yotha is just bearing the brunt of the show deciding Faifa only needed (romantic) "love" to be "seen". And Yotha is sadly the only one who talks about Faifa constantly enough to have to deal with it.

Listen, I love this show, especially the faifawine arc (honestly, because of the faifawine arc!). But this arc uses a storyline that I hate so much- "you just haven't met the right person" and somehow handles it so beautifully! Because the concept isn't that Wine was enough to change Faifa, it is that they loved each other enough to be a positive influence on each other. And that I 100% believe in and will always eat up!

But Faifa had virtually no friends in figuring anything out!! He is a very private person, obviously, he bottles everything up! And this arc was supposed to be about him not doing that anymore.

(ep22)

They made it a point to show us how often Faifa shows up for other people (which is constantly) and that is the reason most of us fell in love with him.

And when his arc started I was really excited about him finding love, but I was soooo excited to see Phuri, who was apparently his only real friend!

Louis is a delight in this show! Steals every scene he is in. What Phuri unfortunately isn't, is a good friend to Fa (at least he doesn't have enough screentime to prove otherwise). I love their playful banter, but he doesn't even do as much as Ben and Jay!

No one shows up for Faifa except Wine.

(ep21)

And Yotha- he shows up for Faifa when there is an external conflict. He's never been good with emotions.

(ep20)

I mean, he was so bad with Gun, Arm and Fa had to play mediator. So it's not a shock that he doesn't see Faifa is in soo much pain because of what their mom did. Yotha understands anger; he doesn't understand sadness over something that should make Fa angry.

(ep16)

But he still understands Faifa! (He's probably the only one at the table to make this connection and continues to do nothing about it :) )

(ep18)

And I think that's why he's getting so much flak. I think he's getting a disproportionate amount of hate (and defence) for what is happening to Faifa. But I'm still mad at Yotha, and this is why I feel justified about it.

I'm mad at Yotha because I want Faifa to be mad at Yotha. Because Yotha might be the safest person for Faifa to show his anger to, and he's too scared to do that, too! They are brothers, and it doesn't matter if it wasn't Yotha's responsibility to inform Fai of anything about his mother's flight being delayed- Yotha knew, and that alone should let Faifa be whiny and angry- but he wasn't.

(ep21)

I am angry because having a fight, showing you're upset, and knowing that your relationship is stronger than that is a privilege - one that Faifa doesn't seem to allow himself to have. If he has it with anyone, it should be with Yotha (or Phuri, but the show didn't give him much to do at all, but I digress).

We, as the audience, have seen Yotha, we know him, and we know he loves Faifa. And knowing he loved Fa makes it so much worse that he still doesn't feel loved or wanted. I don't think Yotha is a bad brother or a bad character. In fact, I'm angry because he's a well-written character!

(ep13) (Like, where did this Yotha go after he got a boyfriend??!)

It just seems like the show decided that he is going to be a Gun simp and nothing else. And that falls back into another trope I hate. Being in a romantic relationship is not an excuse to ignore everyone in your life. Priorities can change, but not to the extent that you only have one priority! Yotha is a better brother than that, and I think we deserve to see that side of him as well!

[qwainte]

People are so weird about Halsin and other characters, I hate fandom sometimes.

[dollypopup]

I just need every single person in this fandom who has ever been mean about Luke Newton to know that Nicola Coughlan hates you. Genuinely and wholeheartedly.

She hates you. Sure, she won't say it aloud, because she's a professional who knows her career lives or dies by fans, but please know that she does. She hates you if you've said Colin gave you the ick, especially so if you said it to Luke, she hates you if you've left a rude comment on his social media, she hates you if you acted like she didn't like him or that she was shading him, she hates you if you bullied the people around him, she hates you if you said something disparaging about how he looks or how he acts, she. hates. you.

And sure, it's not all people who are in her or Pen's fanbase, in fact a lot of people have been cruel about him outside of the Polin fandom, but a LOT of people are Pen fans, and hearing her talking about how defensive she gets over him when people say something rude about him? And knowing there are SO many stupid opinion blogs and youtubers and tiktokers who say they're Pen fans and Nicola fans but are mean as fuck about Luke?

I need every single one of them, in particular those who have been out here making up stupid shit to be mad at him about 'on her behalf' to know that when you say something mean about the man she gushed to her Mum about, and who her Mum was so excited to meet because she just knew he was kind, the man she introduced to her entire family, the man she is always reaching for and hugging and snuggling up to and calling wonderful and giggling around and saying how she wouldn't want to do such vulnerable intimate scenes without and complimenting and leaning on and having fun with and calling a special person in her life, she is taking off her earrings and ready to meet you outside in his honor

because she hates you for being a dick about him. hope that clears things up

throwback tuesday to that time when i took one of the few large lecture hall classes i ever took in college, a class on pre-1500s English literature, and the professor (a balding man with a British accent who banned computers because, according to him, he once caught someone watching Shrek 2 on a laptop during the lecture and he was upset it wasn't Shrek 1) stopped in the middle of talking about Beowulf to a hundred students to ask ME SPECIFICALLY (in the back half of the room but not all the way at the back) if I was using my smartphone under the table, so I had to lift up my hands and show him that no, I was knitting because the class had a bunch of printouts so I didn't need to take notes but the man wouldn't let me play spider solitaire or scroll tumblr and I had to do SOMETHING with my hands, and he was like, "ah, weaving peace I see. it seems we have the peaceweaver in our class" and then just carried on with things

I just need everyone to know that I fucking hate Hamlet prince of Denmark. This stupid fictional man makes me so goddamned angry I need to squeeze him like one of those rubber toys where the eyes pop out and shake him so violently like a child discovering snow globes for the first time. I fucking hate Hamlet prince of Denmark oh my god.

[fallloverfic]

I love singNsong again reminding people in Side Story that Dokja wanted other people to read TWSA (he wrote reviews and comments! It was his first wish), and he only stopped bothering because people harassed him for it. He didn't gate-keep the story. When he's avoiding talking to Sangah about it at the beginning of ORV, it's because he knows what happens when he tells people about the story, not because he's gate-keeping it from her. He notes he's not proud of his hobby (likely because he's been bullied all through his life, including for reading the thing he loves): he finds it embarrassing to talk about, and better respects her studying Spanish in her free time (learning another language is a generally accepted thing in society). He assumes she won't care or will look at him funny (or worse) for when she learns about the novel he's into.

Basically anyone writing "let's gatekeep ORV" posts because of the anime announcement or because they dislike the manhwa or some other weirdness, y'all are the villains in the scenario.

The literal climax of the story is about sharing ORV with as many people as possible. What story were y'all reading?

[several-ravens]

post season 2 horny rant about elias don't click if it's going to upset you

MY HUSBAND. A MURDERER. who would have thought???

so it was him at the murderous end of that pipe. good for him

when i tell you i screamed when he walked into the room. i mean damn he can talk to me like that whenever he wants. HIS VOICE??? and that little evil speech at the beginning oooooh that's enough to kill me

maybe he didn't need to murder leitner as well but also who am i to stop him? like eurgh brotha eurgh but also ooooh baby heaven is a place on earth like that one remix that's on tiktok atm

AND because that wasn't enough, on top of being evil and fucked up he's also very powerful

excuse me but that's hot af. his place of power should be me.

(i have a thing for evil powerful men in case that wasn't clear)

[writterings]

procastinating at work but here's my philosophy for today: it's okay to hate a behavior in someone else but also understand that this behavior does not make them a bad person. like i HATE when i'm venting or talking about a serious problem i have and then the person i'm talking to starts trying to relate by talking about a similar experience they've had. like absolutely hate it. make me feel like the focus is being taken off me and it genuinely is in some ways, regardless of your intent. yeah, i understand that's your way of trying to comfort me -- but that's not the way i need or want to be comforted, and that's what matters in a situation where i'm coming to you to be helped.

and that's okay! like. no one is in the wrong here unless i have explicitly asked you to support me in a different way and you're intentionally refusing, or if i lash out at you when i could just disengage. it just means you're not a person i should go to for help when talking about my problems. we can still be friends, you and i can probably support each other in different ways, but we're just incompatible in this regard. and that's like....okay. it's okay to be incompatible with people.

[leatherbookmark]

Moving and astounding that top/bottom discourse is still a thing in almost-2025

[lord-squiggletits]

I must admit I'm getting this horrible image in my head of Tarn as that type of creepy guy who donates way too much money to a streamer and then absolutely loses it when he hears they're not single.

That's probably accurate lol. Although unlike (seemingly) most people in this fandom, I blame Megatron more for turning Tarn into that kind of obsessed freak than I do Tarn for being a freak. I mean, my view is basically "you reap what you sow/the monster you created turned around and bit you" so I don't really have sympathy for Megatron with regards to Tarn showing up and ruining his life lol. I actually really like the DJD coming in MTMTE as basically the living embodiment of karma and Megatron's comeuppance about not being able to run away from/ignore his past.

Like blah blah "no matter how sad your backstory is you're still responsible for your own actions" but also Megatron is literally 100% the reason Tarn is Like That, and Megatron also used parasocial manipulation, propaganda, and his grandiose personality to manipulate the Decepticons into worshipping/following him without question. So like. It's fiction, I don't have to be all "well they're all problematic" I can just be like "lol, lmao even" and point and laugh as Megatron gets fucked up by Tarn and the DJD because he can't talk his way out of this problem.

[here-comes-the-bard]

thank you molly i have been thinking about yaevinn and prey animal rage since 6 am in between the owie of the day. he is not a hunter but by god he fights like he is being hunted and that might actually be scarier.

come to think of it, yaevinn started expressing his anger more at around the same time as he started actually making an effort to keep himself alive in combat... the moment he started to realize that his life is worth something and that it's at risk of being snuffed out, the moment he realized how many times he's been cornered, how he's STILL cornered, he got angrier and became less and less likely to take shit. even when it was perceived; even from his partner (these two things happened together at the same time, yaevinn was already upset and nithral was just making sure he didn't. fuckin waltz off to his death).
