#and itd be sorta. like it means nothing

Well Azazel and their partner wasn't exactly in love in the traditional sense

Izuru Kamukura's design is interesting to me cuz like what was the point of having all that hair.

I feel like usually the metaphor in design would be to make the hair shorter. To signify the way hes stripped of identity and remade. But they go the opposite route. Izuru's hair is long and all over the place.

Also with an in world perspective, why would the people who created him give him/let him have long hair like that. What was the motive there?

Not that its a design that says nothing about him or is out of place either. I think it actually says a LOT about Izuru. The lack of styling reveals a disinterest in his appearance to some degree, or maybe a lack of identity. He doesnt even bother to push it out of his face, just sorta leaves it. He could've just as easily cut it all off though, seems like itd get in the way or be more of a hassle to worry about, and hes not one for hassles either. Having long hair involves caring for it to some degree thats just a fact.

Also cutting it all off after everything, I get its symbolic of Hajime and whatever, But I cant help but think it wouldve been more interesting to go an alternative route. Finding some kind of inbetween, not quite Hajime anymore but certainly not Izuru either. Ya know? I feel like that be more in line with the point. Not going back to the past, but looking towards the future and whatever that means.

        " are you sure he's here kaon ? i don't remember this planet or sector ." voice gruff and questioning the smaller bot . the red mech nodded ,, optics dark and empty as he smiled . " i'm sure of it , tarn ." he replied . the mech known as tarn nodded in return ,, looking at the scanners aboard the ship known as the peaceful tyranny . there was barely any trace of a cybertronian signal . barely ,, that is . there was a faint dot on the screen ,, showing one life signal .

        " prepare yourselves for departure . lets make this quick ,," tarn said to his crew ,, the djd ,, or better known as the decepticon justice division . " watch out for the life here ,, theyre .... organic ." he said slowly ,, disgust dripping from his words .

        thankfully there werent a lot of people here today . not exactly hot enough for a beach day ,, per say ,, but you didnt mind that one bit . resting in the driver's seat of your old truck ,, you smothered your face with sunscreen . just because it was 70 degrees out didnt mean you were gonna risk getting toasted by the sun .

        glad there werent too many little kids around ,, you were able to enjoy your little day off without many interruptions . or so you thought ,, when all the sudden a gigantic ass space ship came outta nowhere . aint no way in hell you were gonna let this moment go though ,, knowing the ufos exist and the government was keeping those aliens locked up and away from public . fishing for your phone in your bag ,, you quickly drew it out and snapped your camera app open .

        switching to video ,, you got out your truck and starting to tape the spaceship . this was something outta star wars because aint no way this was government property and a thing for a movie . or maybe it was ? you werent too sure ,, busy being in awe of this majestic ship . until it had landed and out popped its crewmates .

        this had to be for a movie ,, it had to be . nothing like just happens on a wednesday . the most that happens is that commercial with the camel saying its hump day . this sorta thing happens on a friday or sunday . one of the robotic beings opened their mouth ,, static and chirps coming out . you werent too sure what it was saying though .

        it was all fine until they started looking around and one spotted you . it was quite big ,, purple with tank treads maybe ? it surely didnt look like something from the government ,, but it did look like it was some sort of military machine . a shorter yet more lanky one stomped forward ,, water splashing up against its legs as its hands wrapped around your body .

        your phone slipped from your hand ,, eyes wide with shock and jaw dropped open . " hey !" you yelled ,, pointing accusingly at it . " put me down this instant ! who do you think you are ?!" you spat at it . the being looked curious ,, chirping at the purple one you were just looking at .

“being a singer means i have the y/n driving me around? why didnt i audition earlier?” jj joked as i parked my car temporarily outside his porch.

“i just dont trust you with maps and coordinates” i shrugged as i unlocked the doors, watching him as he walked over to the passenger seat

“so, are you finally relaxed about tonight?” he looked at me as i revved

“relaxed is… not exactly my state right now” i looked at him for a brief moment and hit the gas

“well me and the pogues have a little surprise for you after the concert. y’know, to make you feel better” he smiled, and i felt my checks heating up just a little bit

“a surprise huh?” i smiled as he hummed. we are now on our way to chris’ house to start working.

i mean the fact that he had covid didnt mean we couldnt use the garage right? open space (sorta), a whole different floor than the rest of the house and all the gear we needed. i figured we’d be alright, and pope the big brain already said itd be okay.

chris of course agreed. he actually really loved each and every single one of us, bandmates and our friends. and i did love him back. if he discretely disliked the band as in working in it had nothing to do with our friendship (unlike mike).

“rafe where had you been hiding those skills?” jj trolled him ironically, making rafes temper rise.

“will you shut it” rafe shot back and tried his best to focus.

“how about instead of mocking him you start singing boy?” i growled as i continued studying my sheets.

pope was focusing on his bass, especially since we decided to cover a lot of red hot chili peppers. it was easier for jj and his vocal chords.

after what felt like ages, the time was six pm, and we were doing fairly well considering the circumstances. rafe was not acing it, but he was pulling it off. jj was messing up a few lyrics here, cracking his voice slightly there, but i had faith in him.

now, it wouldnt be a classic the band performance, but the audience will at least have live music to hear.

just as soon as we finished revising our last song, song,we heard my phone ringing, then suddenly stopping as i got a notification.

“that was a good one well done guys” i said removing the belt of my guitar and putting it on a sofa near me.

i grabbed my phone to see i has a few missed calls and a text message from trixie

❛ trixie.. or trixie the pic tricky as many called her around the island for her insane photography skills. she often worked for us during our concert days, mostly photographing and then posting them on her platfrom, boosting ours and her career. but since we bonded so fast, and her dad owned the bar we were performing, she took some manager duties from time to time, such as telling us when we needed to head over there to start preping up just like she was doing now ❜

“guys tricky just texted me” i announced, earning two confused looks and a response only from pope

“oh shoot, we gotta go guys come on” he ordered as he started placing his bass inside its case

i started taking my stuff too as rafe took the drumsticks and jj took the sheets he didnt fully remember

“may i ask whos tricky?” jj breathed as we we’re basically running towards my car to take off

“shes our photographer slice manager” i stated “her names actually trixie” i continued

“wait trixie with the bob and the bangs?” rafe questioned

“yea thats the one” i replied getting on my drivers seat “now buckle up”

“why do i know her” rafe was mumbling to himself as pope turned from the seat next to me to look at him

“you went to the same high school probably, shes rich as shit” he stated as he watched rafe fading a smile with agreement

“yea shes really sweet but will kill us if things go south” i pulled pope to sit properly on his seat as i was speeding a little too much “did you tell her the news? shes off twitter” i asked him

“uh.. i forgot” he squinted his eyes and an elbow came right towards his ribcage

“i will kill you heyward” i shouted as questions begun flying from the back seats.

[fairys-dream]

it was getting restless again.

this is not just a story of a soul thats lived many many lifetimes, but the Everything.

the Source.

its lived it all, wondering if theres anything more to all this, some other way of existing….whats the alternative to Everything?

it’d thought of the cheesy simple stuff like Nothing, Love, Experiencing…..any answer seemed like itd been said before, and it had.

it thought of all the complex answers, answers that were basically just word garbage. any meaning it applied, it was an answer it answered for itself.

an answer it made up. an answer that wasnt real.

problem was, it couldnt ask anything outside itself…..or could it?

how could there be another Everything?

wait...what was it that the humans had made….

a mirror. yeah, that could work.

the Source, being the way it was, couldnt help making some sorta poetic twist to it. it wasnt going to be some regular ol’ mirror of course.

so, the Source conjured the mirror.

in the reflection, it saw itself, but slightly different.

not just visually, the Everything in the reflection worked in slightly mirrored ways as well.

same, but different.

and equally as sentient.

thus began the discussion between the Source and the Reflection.

the Reflection was convinced it conjured the Source, that the Source was it’s Reflection.

this argument lasted awhile.

but the conclusion they came to was that they both conjured eachother.

if they wanted an answer, it was vital that they saw eachother as seperate beings, seperated by the glass.

they talked n talked, about all the things that happened in them, and what those things made them think about.

they gave eachother the answers they couldnt come to from their own perspective.

answers that still felt right, answers that felt new.

one day(conceptually speaking, not literally, since theres not really any days in infinity), it clicked.

Stories.

not just Experiences, but Stories.

Stories held all the answers in One.

the Source was alive so it could tell Stories.

and it took talking to someone else in order to realize that.

so, the Source n the Reflection, the Reflection n the Source, spent the rest of eternity telling eachother stories.

sometimes those Stories werent even Stories at all, they were just…creations. which were, in their own way, also Stories.

sometimes they would just observe. then talk about their observations afterwards, similar to a Story.

Everything was just Stories. and the Source was happier now that it got to share them.

funky guys rant below

the more i think abt it the more confused i become abt what exactly to call the kind of relationship all the funky guys have. like i guess found family, in the way the term is used in fandom, describes it well.... but idk as someone who goes way back w the trope & who used to forcefully cram characters i liked into neat family shaped boxes, the term does carry a kind of... weight to it? one might even call it cringe, but i feel like its more of a frustration with pidgeon-holeing and fandomisation as a whole. i think i just read one too many fics where characters in a found family start calling eachother siblings and mom and dad and uncle and honestly that kinda feels sorta. culty, even, to me rn?

which one the other hand thematically speaking does kinda fit - not literally as a cult but more in the way theyre all so codependent and struggle to find a life outside of these dynamics. these ppl DO love each other bc they HAD to to survive and stay relatively sane but also that means this is not a very healthy arrangement. i think that rigid language might fit here thematically bc it represents them all unconciously replicating all the flaws and problems a regular family would have instead of trying to make something better. they (mostly tashi) are falling back on what they know abt how ppl who love each other should act and view each other. which also on a more meta level is just me being rlly fascinated with the fandom idea of a found family and deciding to kinda. bring the idea as far as i can? showing what fucked up dynamics could sprout if you threw a bunch of traumatised freaks together and forced them to play house lest they die in the wilderness alone.

like. when i started dabbling in trying to write for this au, i quickly found that describing them all as a family felt kinda. weird? it just didnt feel right. it felt trope-y, fandomised, flanderised (which is really funny if you consider that this au is in many aspects just that, as much as id like to pretend otherwise). and i have to wonder how much of that is the term not fitting in-universe, and how much is just me looking back at my younger self's less nuanced takes and wanting to have nothing to do with them?

in the end, in-universe, as much as it kinda cringes me out i think the funky guys do very much describe themselves as a family & as siblings - partially bc they do love each other platonically very much and thats just the only term they really knew to describe what they are, and partly for convinience bc its way easier to tell ppl theyre just a bunch of siblings than itd be to 1. explain the whole clone thing and 2. delve into the complexities of all of their relationships in great detail.

and also bc i think describing it as a family makes them more eager to stick together? i think tashi does very much weaponise that, either conciously or subconciously ('we are family, you cant leave!! im your big brother, i know whats best for you')(the thing abt tashi is that hes very good at reading ppl AND hes got separation anxiety AND is a bit of a self righteous idiot and this results in him being kinda manipulative and guilt trippy at times, esp when hes in distress.)

so like. the thing im trying to get at is. the love was there, the love IS still there, and thats kinda the whole problem! they all trapped themselves in this rigid form of relationship, but also around the stickbug mind control arc it all starts to kinda fall apart(sticks Whole deal, webby turning 18, soup wanting to branch out and develop new relationships, buds crippling guilt making them kinda an asshole, tashi getting progressively worse and worse to be around as he falls apart, and ryou being 13 and stuck in the middle of all of it) and none of them rlly know how to handle it.

i dont rlly have a solid idea to what happens after the mind control stuff, aside from the kuro stuff and the fact stick and een do definetely move out again after stick recovers. but the rest? its kinda one big vague 'its slowly and painfully and messily gets better'. this story has always been about making the best of a shitty situation, i think. about people forming deep meaningful bonds but still being messy and stupid and hurting each other, and abt how you can never turn back time and fix all the shit you did wrong in the past, but maybe, if the love is there, if you still want the love to be there after all of that shit, maybe you can try again.

[pwnyta]

I was thinking about if LOST characters had powers... sorta like HEROES or XMEN or something... So heres what I got-

Jack- Healing touch. Obviously. Its not like super POWERFUL healing but it does fluctuate with his emotions. Like the more stressed he gets the better his healing is. I think that fits Jack real well. Also its only his hands & he cant heal himself if he cant properly reach the spot (like his back)).

Kate- Shapeshifting! OBVIOUSLY. At first its limited to people similar to herself (thin white women) but as time goes on she starts learning to go crazy. But its still limited to humans.

Sawyer- Anger Empowerment! Hulk-like but without the cool transformation.

Juliet- Time Acceleration (by touch). Hear me out... she CAN heal as a doctor but if she's not paying attention the time acceleration could go so far as to even ROT whats in her hands. So shes mostly scared to use her powers.

John- Danger Detection. The trouble is hes more confident in his power than himself which causes problems(see Ben).

Ben- Mental Manipulation (voice activated, sorta like the persuasion power from HEROES). OBVIOUSLY. Ben's mental manipulation can also override Johns Danger Detection which is why John keeps getting clowned on by that gremlin. However he has a far harder time dealing with people with stronger wills.

Hurley- Empathetic Mimicry. He can use others powers with an associated feeling. Like Hurley getting pissed at Sawyer and kicking the shit outta him using his own rage based power enhancement.

Sayid- Absolute Superpower Opposition. From defending himself against Sawyer, to surviving all of Rousseaus nonsense to outplaying Ben... I think it works for him. However he can be hurt by like... guns and be regular manipulated by Ben if hes sad. But since the mundane is still a threat itd give a reason why hes still the hyper prepared little freak he is.

Sun- Mental Pressure. Her power can cause paranoia and such things. She didnt use it basically at all before the crash... but after returning home without Jin she started exercising that power. Freaking her father out and even screwing with Ben.

Jin- Enhanced Durability. Nothing has ever happened to him. Hes fine guys and if hes fine Suns fine. Guys believe me.

Charlie- Inaudibility (can be completely silent (in an AOE). Ironically (since hes a bloody rock GOD). He hated it before his addiction but then he found it to be quite useful for sneaking around.

Claire- Enhanced Survivability. She was in a house when it fuckin EXPLODED. And also lived in the woods all by herself. Shes just a creature.

Michael- Drawing Creation. Its not something hes ever thought to push. He just creates little animated cards for his son but later uses his creations to torment the people on the boat till they take themselves out.

Desmond- Precognition. Obviously. But his powers are pretty scrambled and especially so after he gets to the island. Weirdly his precog works weirdly on Sayid sometimes he gets absolutely nothing, sometimes he gets visions so clear its suspicious. He doesnt ask(it depends on whether his vision might hurt or help Sayid due Sayids ability. It either completely blocks it or enhances it).

Rousseau- Improbable Weapon Proficiency. DUH. All her weird little traps. Let her cook.

...I could do others but... I think this is good enough. I mean most are either very obvious or... like I HAVE NO IDEA. Frank has flight. Miles can talk to ghosts. Shannon... IDFK? BOONE? Honestly who cares.

[glassbugs]

im glad u eat up my yaps everytime <3 and i love U for all the silly things u write i am but a commentator lol

also SOLID idea?? its nothing but my brain being an unstoppable storymaker lmaoo thanks for indulging me tho its so crazy that such a cool writer i love is yapping back to me aaaaa <33

im glad u went w passion bc if it was a confession i imagine they would tiptoe and go around it in circles forever, such a long process and itd myb be a lil awkward later. im all for him getting the ever so cartoony girl ur watching a movie with gradually cuddles up to you route, its cute and very eighties lmao. the situation WOULD be solved with the breaking of tension cuz these dumbasses clearly cannot find the words to express themselves lol

also glad to provide some more ideas and details even when they're a little spicy <33 just thought hed do thing that remind him of the reader, like what she'd to do him if she was there ykyk those cute little things of reassurance like sucking his fingers and pretending they're ours or caressing and groping all over his body imagining we're encouraging him to be good for us, little sweet things like that. i swear everything i say about this man has a sweet undertone to it. even when i say i wanna eat him. i just want him to feel good and happy goddammit

and to answer the last anon hi!!! i almost have the whole ford package but also meaning im somewhere heavy on the ace spectrum! so im really flattered but im kinda waiting if any triangles come thru!!!

fr talk im so glad this nerdy bitch is my new fixation im gradually cooking up some not so holy lil scenarios abt him for funsies <33 my notes r FILTHY but like better him than bill. man FUCK that triangle. for real

<3

You should try your hand at writing a fic if you aren't already! You have such lovely ideas, and lord knows people would eat up more erotic Ford content!

I'm a cool writer aaaaaaa ;v; I'm gonna go do a cart wheel in the rain real quick brb

I'd love to circle back around and do an awkward conversation about their 'feelings and where they stand' eventually because I do still love a squirmy Ford <3

sorta kinda nsfw under the cut

I got this weird problem where I keep repeating certain things that happen in different fics because I have so many multi chapter ones about Ford. (If the big interest sticks around long enough I need to give Stan another long one). I love the idea of a less ""perverted"" Ford jorkin it to something sweeter about the reader but I keep getting in my head like 'this happens so early on in ITWS would it be repetitive'

But the 'hair pulling/petting' while thinking about the reader is such a nice image that I'm teetering on the edge of 'fuck it lets go again anyways' because it's so cute and PATHETIC AAAAA I LOVE HIM

FUCK THAT TRIANGLE BUT ALSO LIKE??? Y'KNOW, FUCK THAT TRIANGLE

rs archive 02/12/2024:

hello! reader with intense ‘all my love’ universe brainrot, I’m pretty sure your work actually changed my life lowkey HAHA I explored the music that you put into it and I can now say I’m listening to more 80s’ rock/alt and the song from the title was my top Spotify song for the last few weeks! (along with the 80s’ stuff heh) I literally made a playlist dedicated to this fic and I even was able to sorta reconnect a little with my older brother over the music which.. has shaped aspects of our siblingship..? (lol) now but I can’t thank you even more, I feel like the title itself reflects the amount of care and love you yourself put into this, anyways (sorry about the rambling LOL) I just wanted to reach out with a lowkey very angsty headcanon I had LMAO basically, and maybe because it was like semi recent idk I’m terrible with time HAHA, I was wondering/exploring how wooje’s birthdays were celebrated while he was still in his no-contact era away from home. I thought that it would be a day everyone would always remember and it would be this unspoken heavy weight that intensified the almost-family’s longing for their baby, I was like maybe minseok would bake his favorite flavor of cake or whatever and just have it sit on their dining table untouched, staring at it and spacing out till minhyung brought him back, or maybe all of them would meet up and just do something as a collective that reminded them of wooje without saying anything but would kinda wait to see who would be the first to say his name out loud. at the same time wooje celebrating with jojo, the idea of jojo just failing to attempt to bake smth for wooje and somehow trying to incorporate mayonnaise into it (ew I’m sorry HAHA) always makes me smile (cause I don’t wanna dump too much angst LOL) but anyways those were just some thoughts I had circulating my head along with ones just regarding more deeply on what the almost family had experienced and felt during this distance (ofc feel free to give your input), as always I’m so thankful for your amazing writing and I’m always supporting and heavily admiring your work, take care of yourself! <3

okay i think you blew my mind with this submit um. thank you. you're welcome? im so happy you loved the music and i am so. SO happy/glad/astonished that you managed to reconnect with your older brother. bonding over music>>> (also um wow.)

as for the headcanon ih my GOD just stab me through the heart will you?? THATS SO ANGSTY... HELP MEEE... tho minseok in aml universe is such an interesting character because like... while wooje is no functioning/low functioning depression, minseok is definitely high functioning depression. he pretends nothings wrong but he's still falling apart on the inside. during the four years he mainly focuses on starting his business and working every day. hes a people pleaser. i think really the only person he would ever open up to would be minhyung, really. everything he does is unspoken from caring for woojes grandpa to cleaning woojes house when it became vacant. he'll do things and not talk about the reasoning or emotions behind them. he bottles stuff up until he explodes. while this headcanon is so good and sad i honestly think they wouldnt do anything in particular..? i mean, itd be a harder day for them. they miss him, so any time of year wooje would typically be in--birthdays, halloween, christmas--would be hard. rather than an outward display of their heartache i think it'd be more internal. they feel lonelier than usual, so minhyung and minseok would have each other, and hyunjoon would probably go to sanghyeok's and seongwoong's for dinner. they just cant be alone, because theres a wooje-shaped hole there. but all that being sad, four years is a long time. it gets a little easier each year. it hurts a little more each milestone. i think, when woojes gone, they do talk about him in passing, though its a tough subject at times. you know, sometimes its cheery and "i wonder how woojes doing!" and other times its.. "i wonder how hes doing." back and forth. some have healed more from it than others. i think its a partly healed scar until he arrives back home, and he sort of rips them open again (but thats sort of necessary to properly patch it back up. like they were wonky and badly fitted stitches that didnt allow for proper healing.) whew that was an accidental paragraph im so sorry.

as for jojo he is so low effort he probably buys a safeway cake and they eat it with their hands. cutie pies :> i love them

again, thank you soo much for the comment and the headcanon i loved them so much and brainrotted and though abt it bc... i never really thought about how they would treat woojes birthdays before this!! im so glad and so touched you like this fic so much. i hope you have an amazing day <3

[cielospeaks]

-dv livestream!

thoughts:

-so first of all, mY ABSOLUTE MADLADS HOLY SHIT JOSEPH JOESTAR VOICE RICKY BOI IS GOING TO WIN THE DEDUCTION STAR OH MY GOSHHhhhh ok. i am normal abt this. i would really like it if he wins but im terrified at what sorta skin they will give him.

neutral ending: he gets like. a chopin biopic theme outfit (or even another composer. monteverdi maybe if they want to hammer in the references to orfeo or whatever). playing it safe but thats fine tbh. you want me to suffer (affectionate) ending: its amadeus the movie and idk if ricky would be mozboi or sal but either way im screaming and crying on the ground. bad ending: its none of these options and its something predictable/boring/shipping related and im like. angery face. expanded galaxy brain it will not happen but i can hope: any of my shitpost rickys. music man ricky. froderick fronkensteen ricky. beet from batea ricky. ricky wearing a nightgown and nothing else absolutely losing it ricky (that being said i have no idea but a jekyll and hyde ricky would be a bit goated)

-and for the actual livestream stuff. the three new characters are neat. i think im more attached to them than other ones- memory and adaemil were very lore heavy, lily and friends were fine but i dont feel so invested (esp when operas backstory was just a more marketable rehash of antonios -angry face emoji- ). i like the gambler lady. shes fancy yes but shes got an air of like. elegance and politeness i dont get from other characters in the series. idk i just think shes pretty and shes got them gantsby vibes -pacha hand-. goatman seems nice, like bane or burk or someone. knight seems like a cool guy or could be just the "polite guy villified for plot" and i guess that means either way ill prolly like him -le shrug-. that being said i hope hes well written and isnt a character i wont end up liking. itd be cool if he and ricky can be bros. he gives me those vibes. also gambler lady and antonio being gambling buds would be so cute. the friend he deserves. everyone can be buds with goat man bc he seems nice too.

-not so interested in the crossovers/events besides the holmes one which is big interest omg. the new lady seems like shed be a cool irene adler if shes added. detective as holmes pls. (its prlly gonna b novelist or maybe mercenary bc of mr inference? but listen cone boi is detective so holmes should be too, since his apprentice is lol)

-sept the first school au hunter gets revealed. im like :| bc this series hasnt had any faves yet but it also seems mostly harmless and gives less popular characters skins occasionally so tbh im fine w it. itll prolly be a popular hunter and not my boi antonio but whatever. -shrug emoji-

-rest of lore: ok this is fine. like tbh id rather they dont focus on the journalist plot bc i really dont like it lmao. i find the animation kinda ugly and the characters are all really unlikeable. its also just impossible to talk abt the plot to anyone since everyone has such different takes on it lol

-that being said i am looking forward to maybe the next essence/season (w gambler lady? antonio a/b tier pls he needs it. pretty lady who is also gambler i think he needs this)

[steel--fairy]

also, ive been thinking about who to make the protag of jirachific and have come to a conundrum

on one hand, i want it to be available to anyone who hasnt read blue skies ahead bc its not meant to be a sequel. on the other, i want it to fit into my specific verse.

and thats the problem. my choices are

brendan protag (wont work bc brendan is not a battler in my verse and thats kinda important)

may protag (not as fun bc if she exists in my verse (still deciding on that lol) she doesnt know any of the people who have ancestors and its therefore less impactful)

ivy protag (oc protag comes with more baggage and again i didnt concieve of this story as a sequel to her story)

I've considered wally being the protag but it sorta runs into the same thing as may. altho there is the nice parallel between him and ken both having illnesses (tho wallys asthma is obvs very different from kens cancer) but im also just ehhh

ig i could go with ivy? i mean, even if i did have a more generic brendan/may, id still have to allude to how their first adventure around hoenn went and ig its better to have an already made story than come up with something thats slightly different

or i could also just pull a 'this is totally my verse but the brendan/may here is from another universe' but that feels cheap djnsjs i mean, itd mean nothing to the readers probably but *I* wouldn't like it jsnsjsn

plbbbthh idk

[hypmicdaydreams]

hypmic boys and their charm point

this is just another rambling post courtesy of yours truly lol, simply me sharing my thoughts and hcs that I've cried about to my friend in informal fashion lmao. These are my thoughts about what the hypmic boys' charm points would be or what their fans in universe (im sure theyre treated as idols and have a large fanbase) would say is like their most attractive feature lol. Again, purely based on my thoughts and their physical traits that pop out to me the most so it's not written well at all lol; just a stream of my thoughts. But i decided to share these with the rest of the class. Put under the cut for length and also quite a bit of thirst maybe (nothing specific though)? lol beware!

Ichiro's charm point, in my eyes, are probably his muscles? lmao. Ofc, I think with all the buster bros, they're prob also their moles/beauty marks or heterochromic eyes, but for ichiro individually, it'd prob be his muscles. I mean, in the manga too or in official art, i feel like there's emphasis (well, not like emphasis emphasis or whatever lol) and they kinda just pop out to me, especially when he rolled up his sleeves in that one poster for the 1st round of the drb lmao. Can def see fans posting thirst tweets of him since he's pretty muscular too, but like same. Heart eyes galore

Jiro's i wanna say is his dorky/goofy smile, like the type where he just grins and rubs his nose. It's just so endearing and cute! I think he unconciously does it though but his fans find it rather adorable and go !!! each time he shoots that dorky grin haha.

Saburo's is prob his three moles/beauty marks since that's what pops out to me the most when i see him personally. Obvi hes still young and all but he could also be called like the young beauty or something? Idk if that makes any sense lol. Feel like he sees such comments saying how pretty the moles are and gets self conscious about them but not in like a bad way? More like how he knows people are seeing them maybe. so he prob tries to like discreetly hide it by turning his cheek or something which I'm sure the fans catch on to lol, which makes him more flustered

Samatoki's entire being is his charm point lmao. On a more serious note though, I'd say that his charm point is certainly his ruby eyes. They're one of the first things that stand out when I see him. His eyes are really captivating, especially with the way they're drawn sometimes, so I think it's his main charm point (i mean, let's be real, he's simply a charm lol). Can def see them being compared to like ruby gemstones or something like when they glimmer in the sunlight? or his fans fawning over them, especially when he glares. It becomes sorta iconic ig lol

Jyuto's charm point are prob his eyes or his devilish/cocky smirk he does I think. His eyes do have a unique color that stand out imo, so they could def be a contender. But i also think that his cocky smirk does become his charm point amongst his fans. Feel like whenever he shoots that smirk in battle or whatever his fans get more hyped since they know what's coming or just love that cocky attitude of his, as if he knows he's going to win

Rio's charm point was kinda hard for me to pinpoint since he's usually quite quiet or just doesnt speak much, but I think it'd prob also be his muscles maybe? Or maybe his hair idk (or freckles as a hc lol). But since he was part of the military and is rather fit, i feel like itd mostly be his muscles since i feel that theyre pretty hard to miss lol. Can def fawn over them since hes attractive too haha

Ramuda was also tricky for me because I personally don't see him as someone charming whatsoever lmao. Can't really think of anything besides maybe his unique hair and eye color? It's pretty, certainly, and his sky blue eyes are the first things that stand out to me, but idk lol. Prob his eyes and hair then since i feel like theyre the most unique out of the entire cast? I mean the ombre in his hair matched with his blue eyes are def eye candy. Guess his carefree and flirty persona could fit in too but not too sure. Don't really have anything to say about him

Gentaro is prob his face lmao. I mean, he's a pretty boy, that's what i think when i see him. He has a pretty face with the way his messy brown hair frames his face and his green eyes. Feel like he truly captures the essence of the word pretty lol. His nickname amongst his fans could be something like a prince or something like that since he's just pretty?? Def the visual of fp i feel like and has charming features. Don't know how else to describe it or what else to say honestly oops

Dice ahh it's for sure his tiny fang or that ear piece he always wears, though I'm leaning more towards his lone fang that sometime sticks out in the art lol. It's pretty for sure and captivating! Can def see thirst tweets about it too maybe idk. Honestly i see it and just go kakfkejakxks, a bit feral. I think that best describes it haha. That tiny fang just drives his fans crazy for sure

Jakurai ah jakurai. Was also hard to think of one but ill say it's prob his long fingers or like his tired smile?? I genuinely have no idea. Idk why his slender fingers were what popped out to me first lol, but feel like those are also his charm points and prob the subject of many, many thirst tweets (i can picture it now haha). They do have their own charm though certainly. And maybe his like smile because i think he also smiles with his eyes when he smiles but it also has a hint of fatigue which i can def sense in the pics. But i think its also very warm and reassuring and comforting, so his smile could also be his charm point. Feel like his fans feel much better and warmer when they see him smile, especially towards his teammates

Oh man, Hifumi's is most definitely his smile. Literally nothing else has to be said. His smile is so freaking warm and just !!! Gah, i see his smile and feel butterflies (well, metaphorically that is). Feel like everyone, fan or not, falls for him instantly when they see that large, warm grin of his. His fans def nickname him as the sun or the one that shines just as brightly. It's just so charming! And adorable!! Everyone fawns over it and loves to see him smile. I think it speaks for itself tbh. Am also gonna throw in his collarbone courtesy of my sis lol. She watched the anime and saw hifumi and told me that it was attractive when she saw that necklace and collarbone lmao. Can def picture it though, especially when he takes off his jacket or something lol

Doppo's charm point i feel like is more about his aggression? Like when he blows up in battle and goes berserk, from somewhat quiet and timid to just absolutely insane and rapping really quickly. Like his fans wait for that moment in battle, waiting for when he loses it and just goes off. It blows the entire area off guard but its so entertaining! And his fans always tell new watchers or whatever "its him you should keep an eye on" and they just eat it up lol. Def can see fancams or vids of it and doppo prob sees them and gets so embarrassed but is also lowkey happy on the inside haha

Feel like Kuko's charm point are also his feline-like smirk or his fangs or his like cocky laugh idk. I mean, those are what stand out to me the most and also what makes me go jskcjrjakxks all the time haha. Def feel his laugh in my soul lmao. But i think it's also attractive in a way as quirky (?) as it may seem, so it's his charm point. All hearts skip a beat when they hear that cocky laugh lol

Jyushi's is prob also his fingers i think. They stood out to me first, especially with his painted nails or how long and slender they seem. They're beautiful imo and i can also see many thirst tweets about it lol. Maybe he also gets hand modeling offers since hes also like a huge idol/figure? Idk lol. Dont think theres much else to say? Feel like his duality could also be his charm point, like how he changes from his normal self to his vkei persona. I think his normal relaxed self among his teammates become a thing that melts many hearts and just overall heartwarming haha

Ngl, i couldn't think of anything for Hitoya, as much as i truly love that man. Feel like it could also be his attitude somewhat, like how hes always so direct and could seem a little rude and standoffish? at first glance, but really, hes a bit of a sweetheart and truly cares for his teammates and is soft for them. Could def see compilation vids of him being soft towards his teammates and hitoya sees them and denies it or something haha. I think the fact that he hides this side of him or that its discreet is his main charm point maybe and is what many of his fans find to be heartwarming idk

Sasara's charm points are def his jokes and smile (specifically his eye smile maybe). I mean i feel like his jokes could be obvious? Especially his lame dad jokes and puns backstage. Very lighthearted and gives a good small smile or chuckle. But i think his main charm point would be his eye smile. Although we always see him with his eyes closed, i feel like when he genuinely smiles, you can also see him smile in his eyes? Idk if that makes sense but like personally, whenever i see him genuinely smile in the manga, i get the feeling too that hes smiling with his eyes as well even if they look the same on the outside? It's charming certainly

Rosho's was also difficult for me (ik so many of them are) but feel like it could be his sharp glare he naturally has without his glasses or maybe his like timid nature? Idk. Well, we know in canon that his timidness is found to be somewhat cute by others so that could be it maybe? But i feel like his glare could also be a charm point idk. Not much to say

Also not much to say about Rei lol. I personally dont find him charming too, so i really dont know haha. Hard to think of anything thats charming despite maybe his carefree attitude somewhat? Idk lol

Anyway, that was long lol and prob wrong or stupid or something. Hope you enjoyed my conscious stream of thoughts though and ny rambling haha

[gayspock]

OK assorted black sails thoughts bc i didnt wanna make a billion individual posts

- first of all i find starz funny bc for real i swear ive never freaking heard of it before, except for torchwood: miracle day which.... literally i never finished but thats a whole ramble for another time (bc despite torchwood being VERY bumpy, i found a lot of value in it, but miracle day was just. give us nothing! to me...help)

- the women on the show are kind of a shame i mean. im not fuming its more of a (dejected sighhhh) lies back do you know what i mean bc its hardly worse than anything else but help... theyre all gorgeous models thus far do you know what i mean. i dont know. i think its just odd sometimes to look at it when the men are all fucking foul looking, mucky type of guys (<3!) and then the girlies are just like hiii<3 like okay LOL. max is rlly pretty tho (as is the lass in the hat- whose name i didnt atch..) so i shant be mad but its also likehelp... even just an OLDER? woman. not even one? sniffy sniffy? okayyy i'll settle

- the gentleman do have some wonderful haircuts i will say. rackham's stoner transmasc that hangs about in unique trousers round the back of spoons.... i mentioned it already but help. your rat tail... and flints pathetic and limp little ponytail. shrimptastic it is.... and johnny silver. (twirls his hair for him)

- INTRO ALSO FUCKS LIKE MAD BTW.

- i love a woman with daddy issues. i cant relate to any of them. not to eleanor, or to shiv or helena or any of the fine women with father problems despite having many of my own. but its very fun to watch them. like girlies (twirls my hair) just give him a slap.... who cares<3

- btw im screaming... john is sooo funny. what a silly little guy. i think hes going to get himself killed he is like a looney tunes character who should have been dead 5 scenes ago but he keeps defying all sense and falling pianos. the very definition of a rapscallion. he is a problem to us all

- whent hey just state their names and theit ships at each other. okay so cute girlies i bet you'd write that in your tinder bios huh<3?

- also i know i keep mocking and also fawning over flints stupid little ponytail but i think he for real deserves long gorgeous beautiful hair. like it would only make sense.

- theres so many guys in here from other things but only a little bit. i know i mentioned billy bones (SO FUNNY STILL) who keeeepsss following me but everyone else is sorta recogniseable. charles was in the 100 ik this. but like hi eeryone hii LOL

- "however what?" "however let me tell you a story. about a spaniard named vazquez." I THINK FLINT LITERALLY SAYS THIS HENEVER ANYHTING AWKWARD HAPPENS TO HIM. I THINK HE LITERALLY DROPS AND SMASHES A PLATE IN IKEA AND THEY COME OVER TO HIM AND HE JUST SAYS LET ME TELL YOU A STORY. I THINK THEY CATCH HIM NICKING 5P BAGS FROM TESCO AND HES LIKE HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT A GENTLEMAN VAZQUEZ. I THINK, PERHAPS, FLINT WOUL HIT SOMEONE WITH A CAR UNDER THE INFLUENCE. AND SIMPLY SAY THE URCA DE LIMA.............. IT WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSURANCE. GOD.

- also i dont know treausre island that well . do you guys think itd be worth a read at some point. not even wrt the show here just idk ik these guys are those guys <3

- i will say also tho btw. u know that reminds me of. i love it when ppl get rlly mad abt, like, funny re-imaginings of old stories, myth and folklore like this. SORRY. JUST SAYING. i remember of all the issues there were bbc merlin, ppl fucking fuming bc it disgraces arthurian legend. girlie i dont think colin morgan made patheitc little fuck me eyes for 5 seasons for authenticity.

- speaking of. sir percival billy bones is so funny. its like theyre keeping him around just to take the piss of their big strapping guy arent they.

- i also love gates. one like to slap his bald head

- ANNE? IS THAT HER NAME? I WANT HER CREEPY CRAWLY PUSSY SO BADLY. i realise thats her name. i think. shes also like... insanely fucking hot. im like obsessed with her a bit. its the hat. and the voice. i would not give a shit otherwise- i do admit.

- ALSO: THE SEX WORKERS AT THIS PORT ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH ANY FUCKING COMPETENCE.

- I KNOW I KEEP GOINGON ABTO HIS HAIR BUT T. THE VERY DEFINITION OF T BOY SWAG I TBHINK IM ABOUT TO PUKE

- NO WAY NO WAYYYY HE STINKS OF WEED SO BAD

- RIGHT UH- this is one of the issues of just putting uncollected thoughts into a post like this, ehrm. im approaching the scene i was warned about

- i had a feeling.... with vane. i was worried he was going to force himself on eleanor after the warnings- because certainly, his character is portrayed in a particular way thus far, to the point where it was like... well had i not been warned, i wouldnt think it, but yeah. ehrm. i guessed.. him - or at least, he would have sth to do with it, as he has here- but god. i forgot about max and i was just thinking: they wouldnt let her go, surely that makes no sense with how early we are into the show, unless its one of THOSE shows where characters are brought in and out like theres a fucking rotating door, with no rhyme or reason- but no ehrm.. yeah. :(

- and now jesus. eleanor girlie i know he ha slong hair but jesus dont just mount him cmon... cmon!!

- sighhh... ok!! end of ep 3. really sombre way to end but <3 there we go... I'LL drop this now. idk if i'll watch more tonight orrrr wht! :3 love and light

IDEA: Okay, so, what if the first few times Jamack starts attempting to show physical affection towards Keat and Harris, it actually kinda startles them and makes them tense up. I mean, after spending their entire lives not knowing physical affection, and whatever touch they do get most likely being in an attempt to hurt them in a fight, itd be understandable if the idea of being touched without it being an attack would make them nervous.

Oh yea most definitely. You cant just switch from no contact at all to fluffy stuff over night. you gotta build that stuff up.

That’s why he starts with playfully punching Harris, it’s contact but not ~quite~ openly affectionate. He can play it off y’know? But it doesn’t actually hurt. It’s sorta the gateway in that it helps Harris associate Jamack’s touch with Not Harm. Once he can do it with Harris and get a few playful punches back that also don’t hurt, it shows the whole trio that there are touches that don’t hurt. If anything, I think it’ll spark more healthy rivalries to get those playful touches.

But that’s so close to what couldve been acceptable that from that to just a simple touch would probably still throw the others off. No matter what I think there’s gotta be some conversation/confrontation about it.

It starts when it’s Kwat and Jamack talking while the group walks. First about nothing, but it circles back to something a tad more personal. If not the emotions on being exiled, maybe just a rough patch that they went through while they were separated.

Kwat actually talking about it is miles from where they were at back in the Mod Frogs. She starts stalling her words, not use to having to find the vocabulary for this sorta thing, and she feels something and it nearly makes her jump. It’s Jamack, his hand is on her upper arm. He’s still looking down but doesn’t seem to react like she does. She stares at him. He looks up with a “why did you-” only to be cut off with the puzzled expression on her face and the realization it’s because he was trying to comfort her with touch.

He takes his hand off her and gives a mumble of some attempt of a “sorry” and they continue walking in silence. Kwat just shares a look with Harris. He shrugs, she shrugs, they can kinda guess as to why but they’re still puzzled by it.

They don’t bring it up and neither does Jamack. He’s probably just cursing himself out internally for picking up the dumb stuff Kipo and her friends do. But when they have to settle down for the night and sleep, maybe Kwat and Jamack can talk about it then.

Yea! Once Harris falls asleep (probably in a tree branch or smth) she makes her way over to Jamack. Halfway through his attempt to question her is when she interrupts him with

“So what was that?”

“What? What was what?”

“Your hand on my arm earlier?”

“I-I dunno.” He flushes bright. “It’s suppose to be a way of comfort- er, understanding y’know?”

“But with touch?” She knows better than to buy his words at face value.

“But with touch.” He tries to hold it up anyways.

“And where’d you learn that?”

“Well...” He stares down at the ground. “It’s something Kipo and her friends do. To like... Comfort and be close to each other?”

She quiet because she knows itll make him talk more.

“.... It’s just suppose to be a nice gesture is all.”

“And since do we do nice gestures? It’s not like that was ever acceptable back at the pond.”

“....Well we’re not at the pond anymore. So why not?” He still looks at the ground, continuing to mentally curse himself out.

“Okay.” And she drops it and goes back to her spot.

At least she knows Jamack is trying to be nice and friendly. It’ll take time before she figures out how much/if she likes it and how she’ll be in response, but it’s a start y’know?

like I'm still sorta processing the whole mess with ryan. I haven't seen rt stuff in forever and it's maybe sad that someone I watched for years is leaving but knowing that some of the others knew even a little of what he was doing makes it so so gross 'cause of how many young fans there are/were then and now like rip to him throw him out

i agree completely, and yeah i think that this is the time to do a big sweep of the company and figure out who knew and didnt say anything. in my opinion, i think at least one of the founders (probably geoff) and/or at least one of the people in achievement hunter had to know, as they did talk on that podcast about ryan always leaving their work trips a day later than everyone else, so the pattern was noticed and its not hard to guesstimate why - after all, how many times can a person say “sorry i missed my flight” or “oh i just wanted an extra day away from home” before people get suspicious?

i will be fair though and say that if anyone who was “under” ryan in terms of hierarchy knew, theres basically no way they could tell anyone without severely risking their own livelihood. we know rt has covered up a great deal of wrongdoing, and probably wouldve done so here too if it hadnt gotten so huge, so if anyone in an “expendable” role tried to report this, i can almost guarantee theyd be fired so fast itd make their head spin. im not saying its right to keep this sort of thing a secret, but if anyone like an EA or an intern knew, there was basically nothing they could do without fucking themselves over, as itd be more likely that the higher ups would rather quash the truth and fire the person responsible for telling it instead of actually dealing with the problem (meaning ryan)

so like. yeah. it really just sucks all around lmao
