#and tbh she doesn't need anybody in her life

[sixceroanim]

Yesterday there were 20 fics in the Nebula/Peter Quill tag today there's 22

Slowly but surely were getting a 2nd page

[toxictigertonic]

hopes you don't mind be asked about headcanons!! but I adore how you write them!! What about Prime Assets and hugs? How huggable they are from 0 to 10? Would they hug each other?

Ohhh this one has the potential to be so silly and yet so sad... All of them could use a good hug (I'm hugging Coyle to steal from his back pocket :) )

COYLE

- Starting out mediocre, Coyle ranks at a 4/10 on the hug scale.

- His hugs are so stiff and so awkward, it's like hugging a plank. You might also get zapped so watch out.

- You know those awkward dad hugs? The ones where it's just a side hug? He can barely even manage those.

- If you gave him a proper hug, he'd keep his hands out to the side, no contact. You'd think he'd get handsy but no, he's so confused by the hug he just freezes up.

- Please don't surprise him with a hug he will suplex you.

- Also he is Not Soft, and his leather jacket smells funny. Not funny haha, funny weird. Mostly like cigarettes and sadness.

- Definitely mumbling something weird during the hug that makes you reconsider your decisions. Not weird enough to pull away but enough to make you think "damn was this really a good idea"

- Take this hug opportunity to fuck with his battery, he's too caught up in how awkward this is to notice. Steal his wallet too, for funsies.

- Would have a hard time chasing you after you hugged him. Not because he's developed some sudden emotional connection but bc that was Weird and he now dreads looking you in the eyes.

MOTHER GOOSEBERRY

- 15/10 for hugs, the most comforting hug you will ever receive in your entire life. If you consider Futterman's presence however it drops down to a 9/10.

- Futterman threatens you about 5 seconds into the hug, if you try anything funny you're getting drill to the face. This is why he affects the score so much.

- There's also the chance that he's going to whisper a question about your dental hygiene, and God help you if you answer no to flossing.

- Ignoring the goose demon, hugging her is sooo nice. She's warm and soft and bc she's so tall anyone who's short is getting surrounded by nice hug.

- She loves hugs, she loves to give and receive them. You can even potentially make her nonviolent for a minute or two if you offer a hug.

- Pray for your spine though bc she gives bear hugs. She will not hesitate to crush the life out of you with her squeezes.

- The kinda hugger that pets your head and calls you her sweet baby, or something like that. Again, most comforting hugs in the world.

- You can ask to hug Futterman but he'll just hiss at you. Man hates being hugged. Being involved in a hug is already bad enough.

- If you're small enough she will pick you up during a hug. She could very easily lift someone but if you're smaller she's more likely to think of you as a child.

FRANCO

- He's hard to rank bc how do you rank someone who either tries to kill you or cries when you hug them. I'm gonna give him a 6 or 7/10 because the hug itself isn't too bad if he doesn't go for violence.

- The violent reaction is mainly bc he's not used to anybody being kind to him. Most times he's had human contact it's been to hurt him.

- That's also why he cries. He's so unbelievably touch starved that an innocent hug can send him spiraling.

- You better hug him while he cries. He might track you down afterwards if you don't, nobody can know he cried like that. Also, you hurt his feelings :(

- If you DO continue to hug him, prepare to be crushed in his arms. He's shockingly strong, and he's clingy when he's upset.

- Also don't he surprised if he ends up in your lap tbh. You gave him the hug, you should've expected this to be how things would go. Man just wants some comfort.

- He's gonna try to bury his face into your neck, even if you're a lot shorter than him. He'll hurt his back hunching over, he doesn't care.

- He is constantly in a state of not wanting to be touched but also desperately needing a hug. It's like dealing with a cat.

- If you pet his hair or say anything comforting he will cry so hard he throws up I do not make the rules.

GROUP HUGS

- BAD IDEA.

- Franco and Coyle would rather die than hug each other. Gooseberry is going to make them be friendly whether they like it or not.

- She makes them hug and they're just whispering threats to each other.

- "Putting you in prison will be the nicest thing I do to you." "Good luck putting me in prison with a fuckin' incisor lodged in your shin."

- Gooseberry picks Coyle up when she hugs him and he freaks out. He doesn't know what to do so all he can do is Flail.

- On one hand, he's attracted to her. On the other hand, keep your hugs to yourself, woman!

- You know damn well Franco is requesting hugs from Gooseberry every single day.

- He is just a sad little boy and he needs a comforting hug from her. This is how he convinces her to hug him every single time (not like he has to do much convincing, she loves hugs).

- Futterman wants to turn him into a fine paste. He knows what that little shit is up to and he's not having it. Leave his daughter ALONE.

- He's stopped full-on crying after getting so many hugs from her, but he still gets a little teary-eyed. Especially when the head petting comes into play.

Ask me as much as you want! I will happily take 18 requests from the same person, I do not mind!!

Fave lottienat parallels this season?

ohhhhhh hehe. parallels and foils galore.

definitely, i enjoyed the back-to-back episodes where nat kills ben & lottie kills the frogger. nat killing ben sober (for one of the last sustained times in her life, likely) with a moral clarity that it must be done. lottie killing the frogger in psychosis (for one of the last sustained times in her life, likely) with a chaotic certainty it must be done.

the blood on their faces; nat putting it on hers accidentally because she's so swept up & lottie slathering herself because she's so swept up.

kinda meta but i really enjoy that they had sidequests during mari's hunt. lottie went to the caves for a hot minute and nat literally scaled a mountain. if i'm to be insufferable with motifs, i enjoy that lottie went underground (deeper into the wilderness) and natalie ascended (above the wilderness). they both made contact with something--lottie with "it" & nat with the outside world.

the triangulation with shauna and the fact that shauna ultimately doesn't have the same degree of influence as either of them is so fucking interesting. lottie has a subtle command over the girls. she subverts the ben execution, she crowns shauna to save nat (and because it was already headed in that direction imo, path of least resistance), she offers the hunt, she tells taishauna to "go hunt" and they obey. she doesn't need anybody to sign off on her actions. on the other hand, nat is the people's queen & they follow her without pause, even after shauna ostensibly takes the leadership. like lottie, nat doesn't have to strong-arm anyone into following. in contrast to shauna who has use violence to get what she wants, this lottienat parallel is really rich in my opinion.

the scene where lottie says she's staying behind is my new roman empire tbh. the way she reads nat & offers her a connecting point (that is immediately rejected) in the recognition that neither of them have a home to go back to in the outside world--because ableism & classism--was so so good. a perfect lottienat dynamic in my opinion. lottie truly seeing natalie but being so clumsy with her words that it pushes her away. god. they end my life, your honor.

long post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm just gonna do what I always do and keep complaining about people not appreciating the depth Steph and Ryan's friendship. But there's something so genuinely comforting about the fact that (if Alex takes Charlotte's anger) when Alex throws the bottle at Steph, Ryan goes with Steph when she leaves. [Clip credit]

I know that to other people, a "good love interest" would always faithfully choose their lover and never prioritize anybody else, but I really enjoy the moments in the game where Ryan and Steph get to be besties. There are many moments where they could easily stop being friends, (like after the funeral, I've talked about that b4) but they gravitate back towards each other anyways. Like in this scene, you can see Steph looking towards Ryan for reassurance or support.

And while I guess you could interpret him leaving as fear (not sure why you would.), I do consider this as him leaving to go comfort Steph, since he says "WE'LL be right downstairs." He could easily just leave and go home and not bother Steph OR deal with Alex again, but he chooses Steph when he sees that she needs him.

Also just the whole scene in general, I could dissect for hours. It's exactly what Alex meant when she said her powers were a curse, not a superpower. The fact that Gabe, Steph, and Ryan think her powers are cool doesn't mean they completely understand that her powers basically take over her entire mind and body. Alex doesn't want to hurt Steph, but with Charlotte's anger in her, she literally can't control herself. And what she does is kind of horrifying tbh. It's one thing to say a few mean words, that's something the gang works through on multiple occasions in the game, but throwing a glass bottle at Steph is fucked. And the worse part is that Steph seems less angry that it was thrown at her, and more angry that it was her sentimental bottle, seemingly one of the only meaningful mementos she had to remember Gabe.

I like how True Colors depicts anger as irrationality, honestly, I think everyone has been that angry at some point in their life. We all do things we regret. And Alex does apologize for this, at the festival [Clip credit]

But that brings me to scene 2 of Steph and Ryan's friendship in these scenes: A LOOK! The weirdos are always sharing looks. They speak to each other without even moving their mouths, it goes to show that they're a lot closer than most people seem to notice. You could interpret this look as a lot of different things, but I'm choosing to assume she's once again looking to him for support.

BUT THEN STEPH APOLOGIZES? FOR WHAT? FOR NOT WANTING TO BE AROUND THE PERSON WHO THREW A FUCKING BOTTLE AT HER HEAD?

I don't think that what Alex did was completely unforgivable, I think Steph did deserve an apology and Alex did good rectifying the situation. BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?????!!!! I don't even want to dissect this. I want to put this out of my mind and never think about the fact that the writers made Steph apologize for this ever again. It almost feels like the writers were so afraid of fans being angry at Steph for walking out, that they added this in just to try to head that backlash off.

anyways one last gif for good measure: my sillies <3 Steph finger-gunning Ryan (also the way he keeps looking between them like 👀👀👀👀 LMAO)

to clarify: I'm obviously not bashing Alex/Steph. I think if I've had to sit through a billion posts about how Ryan is evil and unforgivable because in one ending he doesn't believe Alex, it's totally fair of me to make one singular post where I'm kind of critical of how incidents between Alex and Steph are handled in the story. I really do love Steph.

hi, could you perhaps do an Oscar x Autistic reader where the reader is sensitive to loud noises and uses earplugs in public or where they has them but don't use them because they think they can get by without them but actually needs them. you can choose. Love the series!

Discreet

Oscar Piastri x Autistic Reader

Summary: Reader has been told all her life that she will scare people off with her headphones. Turns out they actually help a lot!

Warnings: mentions of toxic past and ableism

Notes: meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... I feel called out by this ask tbh.

Masterlist

Should she be wearing her headphones? Yes. Is she? No. Absolutely not. Why, you may ask? Because she was raised that wearing headphones is going to scare away people. Make her more of an alien in the world than she already feels.

It was supposed to be a calm after party. She'd wanted to celebrate with Oscar for an amazing weekend. Oscar underestimated how rowdy the group could get. Lando had invited half the grid to his hotel room.

It's far too loud for her. A small enclosed space, a variety of different smells mix together, the lights are flashing from the TV. It's all too much for her. It's so loud she can't think properly.

She's currently hiding in the corner of the room with the least number of people. She's doing her best to calm herself down, but the longer she stays here, the harder it gets.

A presence is made known to her by the wall vibrating from weight being slumped against it. "Did you bring your headphones?" Oscar asks from beside her.

She wants to say yes. Tell him she brought them like she was supposed to. But she hadn't because this is a social event, and she doesn't want to scare anybody away.

Oscar takes her lack of words and gestures as a no. "Well, I brought ear plugs just in case. We can sit here until you feel able to walk again, and then I'll come up with a lame ass excuse to get out of here. Sound like a plan?"

This time, she does nod her head. She takes the ear plugs from Oscar and fits them into her ears. It's not the greatest at stopping the noise, but it's something for now.

She takes a few deep breaths and hides her face in her boyfriends shoulder. Effectivley keeping the lights away for a minute.

She taps his hand to signal she's ready (a secret code they'd created for non-verbal moments like this). Oscar helps her up, and then they clamber over to Lando. Her feet are tripping over everything as they do so.

"Thanks for inviting us, Lan. We're gonna go get some sleep now."

It's not even an excuse. It's probably just the honest truth. Regardless, Lando smiles at them and thanks them for coming.

Outside the room, she feels like her lungs are less restricted. Her senses claw at the relief as they walk back to Oscar's room. Her body feels relieved as she puts on her comfy clothes and throws herself under the covers.

"You know you can wear your headphones, right love? It's nothing to ever be ashamed of." Oscar crawls into the bed next to her. She sidles up to him, laying her head on his chest.

"I know. I just - don't want people to be scared of me." She mumbles the last part, but Oscar still hears it.

"Your real friends will be the ones who don't care if you wear headphones or not. They help you and you like them. That's all that matters."

She is able to relax on the thought that Oscar will always want the best for her. He doesn't care that she stims or follows the same patterns. And he'll never mind if she wears headphones. He thinks they make her look more badass anyway.

If anything, this could be a good idea for a fanfic.

I was thinking earlier, what could they do with Astrid for Beetlejuice 3? There are many possibilities for her character. She doesn't have to be reduced to moody teenager angry at her mom, especially now that her issues with Lydia were resolved after Beetlejuice 2. There's also the fact that now she knows there truly is an afterlife and that her dad is okay. She also now has the ability to see ghosts and interact with them, so there's a lot for Astrid to get to know about herself and her new abilities.

And that's what I'm getting at. She now has to get used to her newfound ability to interact with the dead. For a girl who was skeptical of ghosts only days before she discovered all of this, it won't be too easy to get used to her new life. Lucky for her, she has her mother; Lydia might not have had anybody to help her. Sure, she had the Maitlands, but she had no psychic, living person to teach her how to handle her ability, and we can see how a life of being able to see and talk to ghosts did take a toll on Lydia's mental heath. Astrid has Lydia to help her, but, and here's where we go into head-canon speculation territory: what if Astrid's abilities to interact with the world of the dead go beyond Lydia's? What if she feels alone with her new powers, realizing her mom can't help her? Heck, what if Lydia herself realizes she can't really help Astrid? You guessed it: enter Betelgeuse.

I can see Astrid being the one to call him, though, in this story idea. Here's a good reason to summon him: he might be the only one Astrid can turn to for help now. As I've said probably too many times already in this blog, Astrid doesn't really know Betelgeuse yet. She only knows that her mom says he's bad news, that he's crazy about her mom, and that he saved her life. That's it. She doesn't really have evidence of him being really bad news (if we discount the influencers lol). He did puppeteer her into a dance around the wedding cake, but, is there anything truly harmless in that? He just put on a show for the wedding. This only served to show how scary powerful he truly is.

Astrid might come to the conclusion that she will need someone else to help her navigate this new life with what she can only describe as supernatural powers, and Betelgeuse might be the only one who can really help her. Maybe Lydia and her even get into an argument over something Astrid realized she could do with these abilities she gained not only through her bloodline, but also through having died and then returned to life in the Netherworld (we're in speculation territory here, so let's go crazy). Maybe what Astrid discovered she could do now, which scared Lydia, was the ability to control others just like Betelgeuse and the Maitlands and likely other ghosts can do.

So Astrid goes to someone she knows will help her navigate all this, and that is Betelgeuse. Here's where the writers can get creative. I love the suggestion about Betelgeuse helping Astrid if she helps him win Lydia's heart. That'd be fun to watch and also a plausible storyline if the screenwriters sit down to think a little. They just have to come up with the antagonistic force, and that one's pretty easy too. It could be Delores again, or it could be a threat from the world of the living. OR better yet: a threat from the Netherworld coming after Astrid because of her Supernatural abilities. They just have to get creative. But this idea for Astrid I really like, tbh; her figuring out she will need more help than what her mom can give her. Alternatively, here's also where they can bring in Lydia's mom. Lydia could think her mom has the answers to everything about their ghost-seeing powers. And I really like the idea of Astrid having gained something more from her brief ordeal in the Netherworld. I've seen a few fans suggest this one about Astrid’s powers here. (Reply so I can tag you if this was you; I believe they mentioned Astrid having powers being something similar to Danny Phantom but not quite. I gotta scroll through my blog to find it.)

i want to draw P.I.E. in the mid/late 2000s so bad just like as a friend group of lame ass teenagers/young adults... they would make such a good fashion doll lineup here's my thoughts so far

warning long as fuuuck

emo (more than usual) ghost just beginning his transition, not on hormones yet but doing everything else he can to appear manly

scene/raver toast big enjoyer of the night life and being tacky and sloppy drunk makeouts with his gf at da clubbbb he's in what feels like the prime of his life and doing lots of drugs tbh actually really sad but he's not sober long enough to think about it usually.

when him and Mary get married things get worse because he tries to clean up his style a bit but is still very much addicted to substances and also the tension between them grows because she kinda knows he'll never love her like he loves his childhood best friend and i don't blame her for that that's honestly a tragic situation to be in for both of them. after she dies toast kind of takes that as a sign to clean up his act and leave his past lifestyle behind so it never happens again. he is very ashamed of this point of his life but one can't deny his drip is impeccable and the music was bumpinnnn

speaking of Mary i've been thinking about her more lately and i know some people would make her out to be a jealous evil wench in the way of the awesome yaoi (stupid and obviously misogynistic) and now more people portray her as this glamorous woman who was free of sin and did nothing wrong (no shade to people who do this also im exaggerating in both examples anyways lol. but i think this end of the spectrum is also boring and can be misogynistic as well even though definitely intended the opposite way)

i think my interpretation of Mary is somewhere inbetween these 2 because i really wanna try and make her more interesting. im not better than anybody else but i want to try and innovate if that makes sense. not that nobody else has written her as a nuanced character im sure it's been done and I love 2 see it. also at the end of the day it's not really serious it's not about who's the best at playing toys it's just whatever we personally see in these characters and want to convey

anyways i think mary was sort of homophobic but only towards her husband and his best friend because she was always jealous of ghost. like i said before i don't blame her i dont think this makes her a bad person hell she probably isn't even actually homophobic i just said that because it sounded like a funny way to start the paragraph. i think she has this deep seated sorrow within her that never gets to be resolved because she died so young and now im realizing maybe my mary isn't that deep cause most of what i think about when considering her is still just her impact on the men in her life 💔💔 IM SORRY WOMEN it's nigh impossible to rewrite her in a way where she doesn't just serve as a catalyst for change in her husband's life and angst and not much more. or maybe it's not even that hard and this is just a skill issue on my part. im gonna try and do more research on what we know about her from canon even though from what i remember that's not much to begin with and she mostly exists in fanon... but i'll try i'll try better for women everywhere

speaking of women i need to do some research of Katrina i want her to be part of this too. and the other 2 johnnies as well. maybe gavin can be part of the doll line as well even though gavin and johnny toast don't even meet until adulthood i think? once again i must do my research. for now i ramble meaninglessly and hit post

thanks 4 reading

Zooble/GN! Reader SFW Alphabet

A/n: Im going to be using she/they for Zooble since Goose says any pronouns are okay :) hope I'm using them the right way~

WARNINGS: Mention of body dysmorphia, some angst and mention of character death

A-Affection (how do they show it? How affectionate are they?)

-As one of the circus members who doesn't really have interest for affection, the second you came around and showed appreciation towards them the need for affection slowly started to grow within themselves. They start putting an arm around your shoulders to let you know they're supporting you just like you do for them. Side hugs and handholding (even though some of their parts aren't hands ;though you promise to make it work somehow)

B-Best Friend (what're they like as a friend?)

-For one thing (but this is a guarantee for everyone else) they'll beat tf out of Jax if he tries anything with you.She's like the cool-headed type of friend (until you piss them off ofc) But within the future they begin to check in on you more often(aside from the occasional Ragatha). If you want to talk/vent about Caine's next stupid adventure? Zooble's door is always open for you. If you want to go out and sit under the stars and enjoy each other's company, Zooble is down for that. (well basically down for anything when it comes to you). It makes them think maybe something good came out of this digital hell for once

C-Cuddles (Do they like cuddles?)

-They are already insecure of their hugs, surely it's gonna have to take some real effort to find at least a method that they could try out. You showed them the art of spooning, beginning with little spoon. You holding them close by their unique bean like body, tracing around their joint inserts. They never wanted to be big spoon ever again at that point lol. Blanket cuddles are good too, especially you two are watching a movie together.

D-Domestic (how do they feel about settling down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

-The hard part about you two ever trying to live the domestic life in a game is impossible. But throughout some adventures that Caine sets up for the circus gang, you found out that Zooble is a great cook (aka flipping burgers and then a baking competition) and good at cleaning up (except her room, removable parts spared about in their room)

E-Ending (how would they end their relationship with you if you two were to break up?)

-If you two were to split up you would really have to break their trust/ not caring about their issues with their body. Arguments would not ever be physical but words will be spoken, very hurtful ones and then once the two of you break it off, they feel even more guilt than you could ever feel. Maybe even to the point of abstraction. Tbh, they will probably never look at you again the way they used to.

It's a very sad thought for you both, but they hope that never happens at all between the two of you.

F-Fiance (how do they feel about commitment?)

-I tend to think that when Zooble was human once they didn't go out with barely anybody and never thought of being married and in the circus she thinks the same thing. But if she were to and after sometime spent with you, it would still take a looooonnng time before they can ponder about having a life long bond with you. And when the time is right it's when you least expect it because in the digital realm, anything can happen! They could purpose to you or you could purpose to them (imagine the wedding literally right after the proposal, Caine instantly brings out the altar and everything and everybody in formal wedding attire, the whole 9 yards. And poor Zooble just wanted a small wedding lol)

G-Gentle (how gentle are they? Physically and emotionally)

-Despite their attitude being not gentle around Jax and anybody who dares to annoy them, their soft side comes through in episode 4 (when Gangle felt alone because she thought nobody didn't want to talk to her after her new persona mask made her different.) And since then they started being less grumpy but still being as Zooble as they can be, like she is going through her own character development arc. As for touch and movements, when they want to hold you or anything that involves her arms, they do it with caution, not wanting to hurt you depending on whatever part they have.

H-Hugs (what are their hugs like?)

-(okay goose said they give the worst hugs but..I OBJECT!) Their hugs are good (depending on what toy parts they have) but she preferably goes for one armed hugs but if you want a light embrace then that's okay with them too.As long as you're okay with the slight discomfort of their parts. Its like those sort of hugs that you look up at them with a warm smile (and ofc with no mouth Zooble smiles with their eyes) and then part ways 🤭

I-I Love You (how would they 'I love you'?)

-Every single time she tries to tell you that you love her, there has to be a disturbance ruining the moment or they just get stuck on their words. So there's no chance in doing it during the day but what about at night? Well Caine is always watching but if he sees that they wouldn't care less all they're going to do is say they love you. So what does the laid back amalgamation of parts do? They take you by the hand and sit you down by the tent as you two talk about your day whilst stargazing. And then you suddenly hear

"hey.. you know I love you, right?"

Your head spun to Zooble so fast it almost made you dizzy. Did they just say what you thought they said? And so unexpected it was it took you a minute to process what you think they would never say in ages. "Oh Zooble, of course I love you. You're my amazing amalgamation after all.".

J-Jealousy (do they get jealous?)

-Not particularly jealous but will hide it if so until it starts to nag them. Somewhere in time they found you talking to Jax more than usual and the first time she just blew it off nothing to worry about. But then two days after that she had to find out. Nonchalantly (and as casual as they can be without raising suspicion) they approach the purple rabbit and started conversing

"So..you've been teaching the semi-new member the secret route to getting out of here? not that there is."

"Heh. You could say that but if you just wanted to know what we were actually talking about I won't bite to tell you, Zoobie~"

Strange, Jax would never be this lenient to blab to anyone about his previous convos unless it actually mattered to him, something is definitely going on here...Zooble's very glad that she actually popped in some hands today so they can now rest on their hips as they wait for the rabbit to spill the info. He smirks and then continues, "Alright, they were talking to me about--wait a minute why do you care anyway?" And then it clicked in his mind, he almost forgot that Zooble is their significant other. His smirk grew wider in mischief

"Oh my god, you're jealous~"

"--! No, I'm not, shut it!"

"It's so obvious, your eye's even twitching, all because of little ol' me just socializing with your other half. That's laughable. "

"One more word out of you Jax and your ears will be no more and Caine will have to give you new ones."

K-Kisses (what are they like? Where on you/ where on your partner?)

-Zooble gives you a bunch of forehead kisses, it's like a cute love tap on your head. Very affectionate if they cant give you a hug. You like to kiss Zooble on the cheek and ofc sometimes where their mouth would be if they had one, it makes them melt every time as digital hearts dance around their triangle head, before irritably swatting them away.

L-Little Ones- you'll have to wait and see...

M-Mornings (what are mornings with them like?)

-Zooble is NOT a morning person, they like to sleep in as much as they can (but not too much cause of the risk of abstraction, just as much to not make them so grumpy.). So if you are a morning person who is quirky and awake at the light of day it's best to not disturb them if they're sleeping. I will say for a fact Zooble would need coffee to wake up fully to complete another day in this digital realm. When they do wake up they have that gravelly morning voice that sound kinda 😳

N-Nights (What are nights with them like?)

-Nights with Zooble are one of the two things

1) Late night walks around the circus grounds or the carnival if neither of you can't sleep (although you don't really need to). A couple of the other circus members sometimes join you two as you laugh and talk all the while enjoying yourselves. Peaceful at least not to have the ringleader up y'alls asses for once.

When it's just you and Zooble alone I have already said it but stargazing came to be your favorite thing to do at night together, it's relaxing and romantic at the same time.

2) playing games or watching movies in their room, smothered in blankets, sometimes a pillow fight if you two are feeling extra crazy

All in all super fun; Zooble to me is a night owl

O-Open (when do they start revealing themselves to you?)

-When Zooble gets to know you more she'll attempt to reveal how their past selves were before the circus (as far as they can try to remember) and then slowly their real problem: their body dysmorphia. It's something deep inside them knew you were someone she could trust.

P-Patience

-For you, they have all the patience in the world, but really their own in general, it depends on the day

Q-Quizzes (how much do they remember about you?)

-Small details; your favorite part(s) you like on them the most (even though they're all unique in their own way), the way your eyes light up when they are paired up with you for an adventure, your smile is something they will always cherish. Your favorite ride at the digital carnival

R-Remember (their fav moment in your relationship)

-Zooble doesn't hate to admit it but it's the sentimental moments between you two. Any day where they get to see your smile and interact with you already is a memory.

S-Security

-Zooble is the best mode of security, they will do anything to protect you, alongside the Jax protocol (as in if he tries anything with you, first a warning and then hands will literally be thrown). You try and do the same for them (even though they can easily take care of themselves) but she finds it admirable that you put some effort into doing the same for her.

T-Try (how much effort do they put in dates, anniversaries and in the relationship itself?)

-They put in a lot of effort, almost like a perfectionist. But even they themselves aren't perfect but they try their very best along with the help of their other friends that support them :). If something goes wrong, they immediately expect everything else to be ruined. But that's where you come in to reassure them that at least you two get to spend time together still, even if things go south, you two can find another way.

U-Ugly (what would be some bad habits of theirs?)

-They tend to be highly insecure about how they look physically and how they were made (via Caine), sometimes it will enrage them because out of all the parts Caine has made for them, they all don't "feel right" and will send them in a negative mental state about their body that it drains them drastically into depression. When Zooble first told you about this you didn't know much about it so that's when you went to the source of who knew Zooble the most; either Jax or Caine, you went with Jax unfortunately. (that's what you were talking to him about mentioned in the J category if you wanted to know). So it was like some sort of body dysmorphia and it made you feel bad that you never knew that could happen to anybody and how it could make them think so lowly about their physical appearance.

*Note: I looked up the definition of body dysmorphia and summarized it the best I could for Zooble as a character so I fairly apologize if I defied this incorrectly*

V-Vanity (how concerned are they with their looks?)

-It ranges from not really caring about it and the one day being ever so specific that it makes them crash out. (As stated in 'U'). So eventually, they let you help decide after a very long comforting talk of how no matter what part she puts in, they are still the same amazing amalgamation you have ever saw ever since you crashed into the circus. And maybe after that, they finally come out of their room or you give them space until it's time for the next adventure the set of dentures has up his sleeve,then they come out their features neutral but a little relaxed since they had time to clear their head for now.

W-Whole (would they feel incomplete without you?)

-If you never came to the circus they would still be the same Zooble but if by chance you ABSTRACTED that's a whole other thing because they have been through so much with you. the trauma after that would be permanent and then they would abstract as well, consider it a sacrifice, at least you two died together...

X-Xtra (random silly headcanon)

-OKAY LETS STOP BEING ANGSTY AND GET TO SOME FUNNY SHIT (sorry long headcan

-Its prank day at the circus and Jax is on a roll with his cruel and sometimes very classic antics. You and Pomni were his main targets for the day and to be honest you were slowly getting tired of his shit despite getting a pie launched at your face. So you cautiously walk to Zooble's door and knock (not ring the doorbell cause it may be rigged) and when said door opened an irritated Zooble whose face was covered in what seemed like pie filling of some sort. "I hate Prank Day." they grumbled as their appendages on their head twitch. "I'm so getting back at that rabbit fiend." you sneer as you shake the remnants of the pie off of you in a cartoonish way, the stuff disappearing instead of getting it all over your significant other. "How about we?" Zooble asks

"Good idea cause I have the perfect solution to get back at Jax."

"And what is that?"

"I will give you a hint: it involves fire" you snicker wickedly.

"Oh no, absolutely not," Zooble contradicts then pauses, "Because if it involves fire then I'm going to be the one flaming his a@#! Come on, if Ragatha is not using it yet we can use the flamethrower that's hidden under her bed."

"Oh yeah!-Wait, Ragatha has a flamethrower in her room? I thought she owned only a machete."

Y-Yuck (What are some qualities they don't like in a partner?)

-Just don't be an asshole to them, that's about it. Be caring and comforting.

Z-Zzz (what are their sleeping habits?)

-With any member of the digital circus, they don't really need sleep so their sleep schedule will vary unless they want to pull an all nighter. But when she sleeps, she s l e e p s deeply. WARNING: DO NOT WAKE THEM UP OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF A GRUMPY ZOOBLE

WHAT THE HELL WHY IS SNAPE SO MUCH MORE CRUEL IN THE BOOKS? 💀 Thank you so much for telling me all that btw, I think I understand why so many hate him now, since I've only seen the movies I was always flabbergasted when people said that they hate Snape but bro is a literal creep. Taking Lily's photo is sooo weird wtf 😭 Also why is he tormenting a literal 11 year old boyy. Damn. And poor Hermione :')

Thank you for your time btw! ^^

Also, are there any honorary mentions in the books? Not necessarily about Snape too perhaps but maybe anyone or anything else? Like, are the books that different from the movies? Low-key makes me wanna read them but I don't feel like buying the books 💔 (':

You don't need to buy anything! It's free if you search online. I haven't bought a single book but I've read the whole series online and even found the audiobooks free online lmao.

Honorary mentions?

Tbh, when Harry visits his parents graves in deathly hallows, I was always moved by the line 'he wished he was sleeping under the snow with them'

And I think all the chapters in Half blood prince that focus on Voldemort's memories from when he was a young man are super engaging. Everything about his family is interesting, imo.

I liked how, when Hermione asks Ron to be her date to Slughorns party, Harry gets all flustered and says he 'knew something like this would happen'

I like how, when Harry uses the resurrection stone in the last book, he and his mother are so enthused to be able to look at each other that they just gaze at each other for a bit.

I LOVE the scene with Madame Maxine and Hagrid when we find out Hagrid is a half giant. I'm a sucker for characters telling people they like "don't go". And I love how Harry is all like "oh damn. I should NOT be hearing this conversation"

There's a moment where Harry tells the dursley's that Voldemort has come back, and aunt petunia expresses fear. Harry says it's the first time he appreciates that petunia is his mother's sister. I think it's so cool that petunia, someone who does her best to live a smuggle life, is still very aware of the kind of threat that Voldemort is. I feel like that's a detail a lot of people look over. To me, that scene adds a whole new layer to how terrifying Voldemort is.

I like how Neville gets given a candy wrapper by his mom (she was tortured to insanity and has been permanently hospitalized. Neville was raised by his gran as a result) and his gran tells him to throw it away, but when he thinks no one is looking, he stuffs it into his pocket instead. Like. God. I just love that scene. Neville's mom doesn't know who he is. To me, I read that scene and can't help but think "Neville has never received a gift from his parents. He keeps that wrapper because it's the only thing his mom has ever given him. It is the only type of 'gift' that he will ever receive from his mom" It drives me insane.

Oh and oh my GOD. I love how Hagrid is all like "Harry, I'd love you to win the tournament. It'd show everyone that you don't need to be pure blood to be worth something" and this moves Harry so much that he gets to work on solving the egg clue. Literally NOTHING anybody else has said to him has made him take action, but Hagrid's faith in him is what did the trick. And I love the line "there was something about lying to Hagrid that wasn't quite like lying to anyone else." Their relationship is honestly so pure. I love that Hagrid was Harry's introduction to the Wizarding world. He literally brings Harry to us, the reader (or watcher if we're talking the movies). Harry comes to us on Hagrid's motor bike. From the very beginning, Hagrid carries out Harry's introduction.

I love EVERYTHING about the way dobby adores Harry. You don't get much a sense of it in the movies, but their relationship is super wholesome. Dobby may have been a free elf, but he followed Harry's every command because he loved him so much. He straight up fought another elf for insulting Harry. He deserved better than what the movies did with him.

I will say, the one thing from the movies I like better is that I love the scene with Hermione and Hagrid right after Draco calls her a mudblood. I love how he holds her hand and says "don't you think on it" and Hermione's eyes are filled with tears but she smiles at him anyway. That was incredibly cute. Although, in the books, Hermione does not know what a mud blood is, and I think there is merit in having Ron--the only pureblood wizard--know what it is while Harry and Hermione do not. There's something so pure about Ron attacking Draco even though hermione doesn't know what a mudblood is. It's like "I don't care if you didn't hurt her feelings! I don't care if she doesn't know what that word means. I know what that word means and you're not going to talk to her that way."

Oh, and I like the part where Percy sends a letter to Ron telling him not to talk to Harry anymore. Harry being all like "I've know percy for 4 years. I've spent summers with him. He gave me top marks during the tournament. I shared a tent with him." is really effective and you can feel his hurt so well.

This post is so long lmao. I've left out so many good moments. My point is: read the books! You'll love them.

[nachosforfree]

Some questions about the Roleshift AU

How did William die? How did the people around him feel about his death?

Does Sammy possess the puppet? Is Charlie Shadow Bonnie/Shadow Freddy? Or do they possess different animatronics?

What is Cassidy's motivation for killing Elizabeth?

What is Jessie's motivation for killing children?

What is Elizabeth's relationship towards Baby? Is she still a big fan of her? If not, what animatronic does she like?

I'm assuming that the reason Michael is killed by Baby and not Foxy is because Baby is one that kills him in the regular timeline. But why does Michael hold a baby plush? Is he not a fan of Foxy?

Do the events of the Charlie Trilogy happen in this AU? Are they (Jessica, Carlton, Lamar, etc.) swapped with anybody?

Are the MCI swapped with anybody?

Does Jessie still smoke weed?

How is Cassidy killed by Fredbear? Is Fredbear built with child-killing features, much like Baby? If so, how did Henry not notice? If not, how did Cassidy's head make contact with Fredbear's mouth?

How does Henry feel about Jessie trying to fill in for William? Why is Jessie trying to fill in for William anyways? We know that Cassidy's mom still has custody over her son in your regular AU, so does Michael's mom have custody over her son in the Roleshift AU?

THESE ARE A LOT OF VERY GOOD QUESTIONS

1. I'm not fully sure how William died yet but tbh knowing him I wouldn't be surprised if he got into a car accident while drunk. Mr Drives-down-the-wrong-side-of-the-highway-at-200-mph

2. Everyone feels awful and sad about it, since no one had a reason to hate him yet. I think the people it hardest were Henry, Jess, and Elizabeth

3. Yes and yes! Sammy is the puppet and Charlie is shadow bonnie/freddy. Tbh I also associate Charlie with bunnies like I do Sammy so it still fits. I have some thoughts about changing the puppets design in this au to fit Sammy more though

4. Similar to Liz's motivations for killing Mike in the main timeline! He mistook her for Jess due to them looking similar, and killed her both out of desire for revenge and to try and escape (I'm not entirely sure how yet, since I have liz's death as CC biting her face off rather than her being scooped (；・∀・) maybe he just manually rips her open and digs his way inside?) I'll go more indepth into why he wants revenge when answering the later question abt him and Jess--

5. Jess knows about remnant and is trying to figure it out! She has William's old journals, and since he's known about remnant a long time, there's details in them about creating it (just not from/for humans. William spent a lot of his life experimenting on animals before main timeline Will hyped himself up enough to kill a person). It's also a great way to relieve stress (and then get More stress from the fact you have to hide the fact you killed children)

6. I think she likes Baby a lot still, it being made for her and all, but as she got into her teen years she felt the need to "grow up" and start acting like she doesn't

7. I think Mike doesn't actually like Baby very much. His plushie was a hand me down Liz basically forced on him (and-- like how fredbear plush acts to CC in my main timeline comic-- the plush follows him around even when he tries to leave it places). Liz bullying her baby brother via inducing gender dysphoria by making him carry around a girly baby doll is wild. I think he does still like Foxy though (also, I think in this au, Baby and Co are the animatronics that stick around for the public while the fazgang gets the sister location trapped underground treatment, so the foxy Mike is more familiar with would be funtime foxy!)

8. They could, but that would be a second timeline split off from the one I've been drawing so far (which is a shift of the roles in my game timeline)! I think if I were to do a roleshift for the Charlie trilogy, I'd just shift some of the roles of the friend group around! For example: Marla -> John -> Jessica -> Carlton -> Lamar -> Marla (I'm not sure this is the order I'd ACTUALLY shift things though. I have to put more thought into that).

9. Hmmm I'm not sure... I don't have a lot of character laid out for the missing kids in general (it's definitely something I should think more about, it's just hard for me to get super attached to any of them). If I do end up having the funtime animatronics fully swap places with the fazgang I'll have to think about how that works and what changes I would make to certain characters >_> (looking at ballora mostly... don't want to saddle a child with that kind of body)

10. Absolutely lmao it's a staple of her character to me. She tries harder to hide it what with the kids around though

11. I've thought about this a little and I think maayaybbeee... instead of CC getting his head bit, he crawled inside of Fredbear gregory-style and got springlocked? Maybe he knew he wasn't supposed to be alone w Fredbear, heard Jess coming, panicked, and tried hiding. I do think Fredbear was made with child killing features, but Jess made them less noticeable or found ways to explain them (which-- William actually has explanations for the child killing stuff in the funtimes in my main timeline!! He explains the voice copying as a means for fun party tricks, and the space made to hold captured kids is explained by the biddybabs and minireenas being able to crawl inside and pop out for little acts)

12. Henry feels sorry for Jess and understands why she feels the need to try and fill William's shoes, but he can't help but feel annoyed and pitied by it. She can't replace William and he doesn't want her to. Jess tries to fill William's place because she feels like she has to. I think she feels guilty for his death for whatever reason, like somehow there was this butterfly affect where he wouldn't have died if they hadn't gotten married maybe. I think it makes a little sense, since they both liked getting high and drunk and stuff together. Maybe she feels like since they enabled each other, it's partially her fault that William ended up dying. A lot of her actions stem from her missing William and feeling bad about his death

13. In the main timeline, Marina (Mike's mom) and William technically both have custody over Mike, in that if he wanted to he could choose to stay with either of them, it's just that Mike feels like he can be more of himself in hurricane than he could living with his mom and grandma so he chose to stay there. I think this carries over to the roleshift au. Marina and William's mom both keep in touch with Jess and I imagine Marina has offered to take Mike home after William's death but Jess feels responsible for him so she's like "noo it's okay I love having Mike around and anyway his friends are all here I think moving him back to the UK would just make him upsetttt" and Marinas like "sick awesome yay" (marina and main-timeline-Jess are in the absent mothers club together). I think in the roleshift timeline Clara (CC's mom) still has shared custody of him. She was very very angry when Jess "lost" him

Thank you for all your questions!! And anyone can feel free to share their thoughts for things that are currently less defined!!!

[not-the-citadel-official]

okay, so, we're trying out a new format with this one. instead of screenshots, i'm going to copy paste the messages, for ease of reading.

this one is pretty important to the ongoing plots of @msc137, @presidentpawn, and @primessrick, so i really would recommend reading it! i'm sure a fair amount of this is going to show up later, here on tumblr.

#group-chat

Skittle: said this in #group-chat-2, but i dont think ryan saw it,

there are some people that really muddle the clarity of the whole "anti primess" movement

Primess: Yes thank you for your input Not-Grandson. Don't you have a bar to drink through?

Skittle: yeah im really slacking off on my duties.

Primess: As long as you are aware.

Whatever Effie sees in your pathetic presence we shall never know.

Skittle: i dont know either tbh

Primess: And you still always seek new ways to disappoint her?

Skittle: seems like it. its just a matter of time at this point really

Pawn (in response to Primess): Do you ever shut up? Do you truly lack the capability to acknowledge when nobody wants to hear from you? Are you so desperate for attention that you bring back everything you've already done in order to live out your former "glory" ?

Pawn: You're disgusting. If the only low hanging fruit you can find is scraps from past encounters, you have long since deserved to starve.

Skittle: oh. woah.

Primess: Careful, little Pawn. Your amusement will run its course, and unlike little 'Skittle', who we still find entertaining and will continue surviving our tender mercies. You will find out how unfortunate our games can be to those toys we wish to throw away.

Pawn: I don't play for your amusement. I don't fear you, nor have I been given a true reason to. You are nothing but a parasite, you leech off whatever you can get your hands on and pretend you're the monster. You may be powerful, but that doesn't make up for your weakness in every other place.

Pawn: What you do is none of my business, but it's becoming sad to watch. You're desperate for pieces of past experiments, and they are long past finished. Pretend to be important as long as it makes you feel better, but know your act is transparent.

Skittle: im. i. i think i need a minute. ill be right back.

Primess: ... It is truly quite an accomplishment to render us speechless... But how else are we meant to react when we see a fool attempt to fistfight the Sun. Your pathetic attempts to psychoanalyse us fail as you try to attribute what we do to human natures, little mortal you can not even begin to understand our mind; thinking so otherwise makes you even more adorably naive than every other Morty we see.

Primess: But please. If it makes your pathetic life have some meaning, leap into the maw, try and flail. It only serves to remind us how weak and lowly you truly are.

Pawn: You'll have that connection to humanity forever, whether you like it or not. You may be inhuman, but you started as a Rick, and that will forever your baseline. When stripped of what makes you 'special', you go back to being somebody who can only thrive off of seeing somebody do worse than you. I would say it's sad to watch if anybody cared enough to do so.

Pawn: You're not above as much as you think you are, and the day it happens, I hope to watch you fall much like Icarus. You are beyond your depth, in every way.

Primess: For a moment she watches Pawn in silence. Until a cruel laugh erupts from her throat.

How utterly adorable you are—adorable and insignificant. Be grateful for it. It is the only thing keeping that loveless little fluttery thing in your chest, actually in your chest. For now atleast.

As for your hopes, by all means, pray to non-existent gods and hope to the universe that abandoned you long ago for all you wish. But the way we see it, your dreams are as pointless as you are.

Pawn: My heart keeps beating because I make it so. If you had any say over that, I would bother to watch my tongue around you. I don't respect you, nor do I fear you. Your opinion of me matters less than it does any man I'd see on the side of the road, you're no more than a vulture to me.

Pawn: You aren't to be feared, and you do nothing but act as a fool when you pretend to be as much. You are vermin, the dirt on the cosmic heel.

#mortys-1

Skittle: um, hey. pawn, uh. thanks.

Pawn: Don't thank me.

Pawn: It's not necessary.

Skittle: ...

Skittle: i think it is

Pawn: It's really not.

Pawn: If it... helps, you're welcome.

Skittle: :)

Skittle: i mean. it is necessary. im sure you know how shitty ive been feeling lately. it was, well, it felt really nice for someone to say something to her when she started to dig into me.

Pawn: It's not just you. She needs to be taught what her place is.

Skittle: i know

Pawn: What she pretends to be is far from where she actually stands, and she looks foolish picking on an already ill teenager.

Skittle: still

Pawn: I don't need to be thanked. Others should be standing up when you can't more often.

#group-chat

Primess: Her eyes blaze Oh, poor little toy. Perhaps we were too lenient. Your heart did beat because we allowed you to have it so... Such a pity it won't do so again. At her final word Pawn's heart stops, the agony in his chest is instant.

By our count, you have 20 seconds to beg for your life.

Skittle: shitshitshit pawn it isnt worth it please apologize to her

Primess: By all means little fool die upon the floor then. Perhaps others will learn to hold their tongue

Primess (in reply to Skittle): Once again you get other people hurt Not-Grandson

Skittle: please please dont kill him

Skittle: please

Primess: Tsk tsk. We thought you said so long ago you wouldn't do any deals with us again

Primess: Either we get a deal, an apology or a corpse

Skittle: im fucking weak, okay? im not gonna let you kill him. what do you want from me?

Primess: Another favour, another game when we choose. Don't worry it won't be the same as last time.

Pawn: The pain that flooded his system instantly made Pawn clutch his chest, eye squeezing shut. He tried to wave off Morty, biting down on his lip to prevent crying out in pain, near keeling over. 20 seconds was up too quickly, the boy collapsing on the ground.

Skittle: and no one gets physically hurt?

Skittle: fuck

Skittle: deal

Skittle: i cant make demands right now just please dont kill him

Primess: Do you really think you deserve that kindness this time?

Skittle: fine whatever just please

Primess: Good choice. At the snap of her fingers Pawn's heart starts beating again... not a moment too soon

Pawn: When brought back, Pawn's body twitched, heavy gasping and coughing bringing him back to awareness. For a moment, he sat still on the floor, eye widened as he stared down at himself on the floor. Without speaking, he stood and used his gun to send himself somewhere else. Anywhere but there.

Primess: ... Skittle

Skittle: ...hi.

Primess: He does that ever again, we will rip his heart out of his chest and feed the bloodied mess to him. Make sure he knows it.

Skittle: okay

#mortys-1

Skittle: god fucking damn it

Skittle: no one ever give a shit about me again. please

Skittle (linking to #group-chat-1): this is what happens when you do

Skittle: fuck

Skittle: fuck

False Morty: im pretty sure that happened because it was a long time coming

False Morty: shouldve let him die

Skittle: he went out of his way to defend me to her and she almost fucking killed him.

Skittle: fuck you

False Morty: im just saying! this is not the first fight hes caused

Skittle: but its the first fight hes caused on my behalf

False Morty: the guy practically looks for a fight whenever he can get it

Skittle: and this is the fight that almost killed him

Skittle: the one where he was defending me

what an eventful morning! let me know what you think of the format!

kisses, @thoughts-and-gayers!

[crypt1dcorv1dae]

I think part of why I like bbrae as a concept (and usually not in practice bc it's almost never been done successfully, cus I'm a picky bitch) is because one of them is absolutely terrified of being sexually intimate with anyone, not because she doesn't want to be, but because she's afraid of HERSELF and what she might do in that situation, and is also (from the ntt era at least) comes off, to me at least, as a big romantic who desperately WANTS to love and be loved but doesn't know how/is scared of that too, and probably has at least a little crush on basically everyone who has ever been nice to her (but she would never ever ever pursue that) (certain canon events aside) because so few people HAVE... She probably has a hard time truly differentiating platonic and romantic feelings (which is actually supported by canon) due to having little experience with either one so far, but she learns how to easier with time (but probably never fully grasps the "difference", and maybe there isn't much of one to her, because she's also extremely autistic. Go autism girl go!!!)

(also must be said that raven absolutely must be the equivalent of a scared prey animal, if she doesn't have little bunny rabbits anxiety at all times it's just not my raven)

And the other is someone who will basically throw himself at anyone who gives him half a chance but has never had a successful, healthy relationship because he's been used and abused almost his entire life, has only had a few scant healthy influences on his life since he was a small child, his character, to me, is FUNDAMENTALLY influenced by being an abuse victim, and that type of trauma almost always causes some kind of issues later on with emotional connection and intimacy. He's got the physical stuff handled, that makes him feel useful, but he's scared to let anybody actually IN given how badly people who were SUPPOSED to care about him have treated him in the past, so that kind of emotional intimacy is terrifying to him. (Which is often supported by canon, he rarely lets down his mask and truly let's people in)

Also tbh gar BPD king

So, basically, I like the relationship in concept because it's two people who are so so different, who feel and love and care in SUCH different ways both because of trauma and because of just... How they're built. but both being willing to try to bridge that gap to understand each other despite speaking completely different languages and making absolutely no sense, and building something that's absolutel nonsense to anyone else but it makes sense TO THEM amd it WORKS (first platonically, bc I cannot see these two ever growing feelings without a good 7 years of comradery as a foundation, and also bc both absolutely would need full-adult emotional maturity to make a relationship work with all their Trauma Landmines to avoid)

And this is why I am extremely fucking picky about content of them (both canon and fan made) because almost NOTHING I've ever come across has ever even scratched the surface of the kind of dynamic and relationship I know they COULD HAVE... No offense at all meant towards people with a different take on them, it's just not my style

[moonspirit]

Okay, enough angst!!

Do you think Armin would discuss his sex life with his friends? Let’s pretend that Eren is alive, would he discuss it with him? I think it’s interesting topic, because they all have a lack of sex education and they are still young. Also, Armin would be embarrassed that he’s talking not about some metaphorical woman, but about Annie. And they all know her. Embarrassing to death.

Hi anon xD

Hmmm, I think not really.

Or atleast, it's not something he brings up. I more see it as the other boys prodding him for details and the whole "ooooooo how did it gooooo were you able to get it up hahahaha" and if he can't get them to shut up and leave him alone, then he indulges in some vague-ish details that don't really give anything away.

Because yeah, they're all inexperienced (a headcanon, ofc) and while Armin might want to maybe tell "one" (1) person about it (because y'know his insecurity and hatred towards his body is massive and like anyone else, he might want to tell someone how relieved he is after his first time or whatever), I don't think he's revealing much either. Because it's Annie he's talking about it and she's notoriously reserved and quiet. If someone gets anything out of her, it's by wrangling her incessantly for information and her relenting because she doesn't really hate them enough to kill them. So no, why would Armin talk about sex with Annie with the other guys?

I like to think if he does end up talking with anybody about it, it's either Mikasa or Jean. Eren unfortunately needs to study human anatomy first tbh xD

[austinslounge]

"but some shippers take things too far to the point where they're stalking said couple, obsessing over said couple, feeling like it's a "win" for them if their couple is seen together in public, or rejoicing if either side talks about the other in interviews, etc."

--- I'm so glad you mentioned this b/c this is how I've been feeling lately about Kaustin shippers. They feel the need to mention Kaia all the time in regards to things Austin says during this press tour. Like more than normal. It's actually super annoying. (Even that ET lady trying to mention Kaia in that interview. It was annoying and seemed really awkward for Austin). I think K&A shippers know deep down, something weird is going on and this is their way of coping. Just some kind of weird validation or something.

I'm a fan of Austin and I'm tired of seeing Kaia's name mentioned when it's not necessary. She has nothing to do with his professional life at all. I never had an issue with them as a couple up until recently. I think it's b/c the shippers (and Kaia's PR team) are trying to hard to keep Kaia's name attached to Austin's success. Even when she has nothing to do with Austin's current projects. It feels more forced now than ever, if that makes sense?

Hey Anon! Welcome to my blog. 😊

Girl you hit it right on the mark with this ask!

The constant need to insert Kaia into everything regarding Austin is just annoying, and it's a very huge reason why I hate shipping culture so much in fandoms these days.

*Austin bought flowers?

Shippers: "Omg! Maybe he bought those for Kaia or Kaia's mom!" 🥹

*Austin has the Bikeriders premiere in London?

Shippers: "OMG -- I hope we see Kaia attend his premiere in London!!!"

*Kaia is wearing a new ring on her finger? (like MOST celebrities do on the red carpet btw 😒)

Shippers: "Omg omg omg!!! I'm freaking out! Maybe they're secretly engaged!"

*Kaia has her hand on her tummy while wearing a dress?

Shippers: "Is that - is that a baby bump we see??" 🥹

*Austin mentions "his dog Milo" in a red carpet interview?

Shippers: "Yayyy we won! We won! We won!" 😁

It's just all so stupid to me. 🙄

I agree with you too. Part of the reason why I (and perhaps maybe other fans) don't really like the idea of Austin and Kaia being together is because she and her family seem to reek of opportunism.

There is something about their relationship that doesn't seem entirely genuine to some people. Perhaps maybe this is why some people don't like them together?

A lot of shippers tend to claim that we as non-shippers are just "jealous fangirls" who don't want to see Austin with anybody, and that's simply not true!

A lot of us do want to see Austin in a loving, genuine, real, and fulfilling relationship again, where he (at the very least) looks as happy as he looked with his ex girlfriend Vanessa, or, even with his friend/fling Lily Rose.

We would love to see him with a mature, talented, kind, and lovely woman who is truly his ever after love of his life, who he truly genuinely looks happy with and is like his best friend. 🥰

Many of us want him to be with a woman who didn't grow up in privilege her whole life, and who doesn't seem to be just using dating him as a way to leverage and further her own acting career. She knows that even if they don't flaunt their relationship, just the very fact that her name is attached to his through a romantic relationship, she will, by extention, get plenty of free press and attention.

It just all seems a little fake sometimes to me. A lot of these Hollywood romances seem a little fabricated tbh.

This episode. Hoooooooeeeeeeeeeey.

The service was very simple and very solemn. There were only ourselves and the servants there, one or two old friends of his from Exeter, his London agent, and a gentleman representing Sir John Paxton, the President of the Incorporated Law Society. 

Much like Lucy's funeral in a way, but not sparse for lack of inviting but a lack of people to invite. After all, Hawkins had no family left to him to leave anything to.

Jonathan was holding me by the arm, the way he used to in old days before I went to school. I felt it very improper, for you can't go on for some years teaching etiquette and decorum to other girls without the pedantry of it biting into yourself a bit; but it was Jonathan, and he was my husband, and we didn't know anybody who saw us—and we didn't care if they did—so on we walked.

Mina sounds a bit flustered at the faux pas they're engaging in but still overjoyed at the knowledge that Jonathan is her husband! However, she still needs to justify it: "well, no one will gossip because no one here knows us, so it is fine". Come now, dear, it's fine because it doesn't matter. But oh well, she's getting used to it.

Mina: *detailing Dracula's appearance* "You see, he did not pass the vibe check. His vibes were absolutely rancid."

She really describes Dracula as though she were describing an animal. It's kind of unsettling.

"I believe it is the Count, but he has grown young. My God, if this be so! Oh, my God! my God! If I only knew! if I only knew!"

Youuuu bastards, having Jonathan repeat the lines as Mina continues narrating aghgh.

"Why, Mina, have I been asleep! Oh, do forgive me for being so rude. Come, and we'll have a cup of tea somewhere." 

He's so cute!!! AAAA he is SO CUTE!!! My precious baby, I just want to hold him in my hands. He's so soft and cute and sounds so sweet and unsure, so bashful.

And then Mina begins the next section sounding like she has been crying. She mentions Arthur immediately, which is worth noting because she parallels him. She's lost a father figure and though she hasn't lost a lover, her lover is struggling to keep himself together while Arthur's lost the fight for her life already.

and then Jack comes in egregiously horny, and I just. What do you even have to say for yourself, sir? I think perhaps the way that he describes Quincey hints that he may not know Quincey as intimately as he knows Arthur? Nor as intimately as Arthur knows Quincey. Of course, part of this is just Bram fawning over American men because of his giant man crush on Walt Whitman. Jack's hero worship gives the impression that he's not close enough with Quincey to know his human flaws, at least. He sees him as a moral viking!!

Arthur was saying that he felt since then as if they two had been really married and that she was his wife in the sight of God. None of us said a word of the other operations, and none of us ever shall. 

Jack, are you really so stupid as to think that he doesn't know? Skipping ahead--

"Just so. Said he not that the transfusion of his blood to her veins had made her truly his bride?" "Yes, and it was a sweet and comforting idea for him." "Quite so. But there was a difficulty, friend John. If so that, then what about the others? Ho, ho! Then this so sweet maid is a polyandrist, and me, with my poor wife dead to me, but alive by Church's law, though no wits, all gone—even I, who am faithful husband to this now-no-wife, am bigamist." "I don't see where the joke comes in there either!" I said; and I did not feel particularly pleased with him for saying such things. 

Everyone raved over these lines before ("he confirmed the polycule!! they're all fucking!!"), and they probably still are raving tbh, so I appreciate Re: Dracula properly communicating VH's disdain for the idea and Jack's disdain for VH's disdain. It's more than an offensive joke, VH is bitter at Arthur's words because it would ironically make them all husbands of Lucy, and he morally objects to the idea of polyandry and betraying his wife though he considers her dead to him (comatose? out of her mind? either way, he can't/won't divorce her but still values the virtue of his faithfulness). Likewise, Jack doesn't appreciate VH's apparent derision towards Arthur and the insulting way he refers to Lucy as a polyandrist. But VH assures Jack that he's simply venting to Jack because Jack is his friend, and he dares not to express these harsh feelings to Arthur, who reminds him of his son.

"Friend John, forgive me if I pain. I showed not my feeling to others when it would wound, but only to you, my old friend, whom I can trust. If you could have looked into my very heart then when I want to laugh; if you could have done so when the laugh arrived; if you could do so now, when King Laugh have pack up his crown, and all that is to him—for he go far, far away from me, and for a long, long time—maybe you would perhaps pity me the most of all." I was touched by the tenderness of his tone, and asked why. "Because I know!"

See, this is why he will not tell Jack. Not because he's scared of him. Because he knows that to know is to suffer. He does not wish any suffering upon Jack, though he should realize that keeping secrets has been the cause of much suffering already.

hiljas og... ?

i've never written any sort of oc/ oc works or anything, but idk i kinda wanted to try it.

i always thought hiljas was never one for romance. i think her overall life experiences have just kinda steered her in a different direction, obviously very far away from people. so i had to consider HOW could she possibly meet anybody new and fall in love with them. she abandoned the companions to live in the middle of the forest, and only vilkas and farkas know where her home is.

and i had so many different characters invented just to sort of figure it out. who could be the one for hiljas? a clueless bard who lost her way during a journey? a new companion she met at kodlak's funeral? maybe somehow farkas met someone he thinks would be a good match? no way.

in the end, i think my expectations were only somewhat subverted. i always kinda pictured her with a big strapping nord, and they'd need to be a werewolf. and i mean.. she did have a brief romance with aela! and i did have a nordic werewolf oc in mind, one whom i already invented some time ago. but i kept coming back to this idea of an orc werewolf, and i loved it.

anyways i invented this cute orc oc. i call him maroth, and he's a werewolf. i'm thinking of making him a worshipper of hircine, which i know probably isn't typical of orsimer but there's gotta be a random orc werewolf family somewhere out there (his!)

so anyways, after trying to imagine and write anything about hiljas being with those other characters, it was just meh... she really didn't mesh well with any of them, especially not enough to want to always be around them. and i would like to think she doesn't need to be with another werewolf but they just would not understand her at all. so it all just kinda came down to who she could even tolerate. and maroth seems to be the only one!

i just kept thinking how cute she would be next to a big sexy orc.... he probably isn't much taller than her if at all, but hiljas has lost some muscle over the years, but she still is not small in any way. she's of a height with farkas and vilkas ALMOSTTTT, she is just barely shorter (by a couple inches tbh), and of course she's smaller than them but she was about as strong as a woman can get during her days at jorrvaskr. i am working on some paintings of her so hopefully i can post that soon, i've been really inspired lately and have been working on so many portraits and full body paintings.

they probably won't have a long-term relationship, but maybe they'll stay friends or something... werewolves are weird! <3 or maybe i'll end up writing them as friends, idk who knows! hiljas is technically more of a free spirit type of lover (like halsin... hehe) and i have someone in mind to also have a relationship with hiljas (and maroth).

and i'm not gonna post everything here but i'm just rly inspired to write for them, how they met, what they talk abt, etc !! maybe even vilkas and farkas will meet him owo i love overprotective vilkas.... anywayssss...
