#and the random ass people who all love me at work

[maxdibert]

Honestly, I don’t give credit for the bare minimum. James Potter didn’t die a hero; he died an idiot who forgot to grab his wand. Even if he had fought heroically, that wouldn’t make him a hero—it would make him an average husband and father. Like, why do people try to make the most basic things seem extraordinary when it comes to cishet white dudes? What James did is literally what you’d expect from any average husband or father when their family is in danger. It’s the bare minimum: you protect your child. It’s not some incredible feat—it’s just the baseline. It’s like saying you’ve met a guy and he’s amazing because he doesn’t treat you like crap.

I don’t know if the problem is that many of you had terrible father figures or dads who “went out for milk” and never came back, but if someone even tried to lay a hand on me, my dad would break their jaw. And not because he’s the bravest, most incredible, or most heroic person in the world, but because he’s my dad, and that’s what dads do for their kids.

On another note, I love how this post conveniently ignores the fact that Severus was deeply traumatized by James because of the systematic bullying and abuse James inflicted on him. You call James a hero, but a hero doesn’t use their position of power to abuse others. In fact, you hate Severus for doing the same thing James did to him: exploiting his power over someone to dominate and mistreat them. The only difference is that James wasn’t a traumatized person, didn’t have deep psychological scars, wasn’t raised in a violent environment, and wasn’t incapable of handling his emotions.

James Potter was a rich kid from a near-aristocratic family who grew up with the love of his parents and a solid support system his entire life, yet he chose to be a piece of trash. He didn’t just hex random people in the halls for fun; he chose as his main victim a working-class kid with no family name, no resources—social, economic, or familial—to defend himself. That’s not heroic; that’s pathetic. Especially when we’re talking about someone who, because his best friend was bored, cornered a kid who was all alone, outnumbered him, stripped him against his will in front of half the school, and asphyxiated him. That’s the hero you’re defending, and you should be ashamed of yourself for being so cynical and hypocritical to conveniently skip over all of these facts to defend a completely sanitized version of the character.

Yes, Severus was a jerk and had a terrible personality. But Severus wasn’t a functional adult. You’re expecting a deeply traumatized person with an unresolved history of abuse to handle his emotions like someone who has had the chance to heal, go to therapy, and receive treatment—and that wasn’t the case. Severus never had the time to heal from anything. He was abused by his father, bullied by rich kids at school, and then forced back into that same school by Dumbledore—the place where he experienced his worst traumas—and you expect him to be functional? No, he wasn’t functional.

And yes, he didn’t have the right to take out James’s sins on Harry, but you know what else he did? He saved Harry’s ass, along with his friends, from the very first year. Without Severus, they would’ve died twenty times over before the seventh book. But you conveniently skipped over that too because you’re not interested in acknowledging it.

Severus wasn’t a pleasant guy or the best friend to children, but he always made sure those kids made it to the end of the year alive. He took on the role of a double agent, risking his life multiple times to confront the most dangerous wizard of all, deceiving him, and working for the greater good. He stuck to Dumbledore’s plan, even if it meant becoming a monster in the eyes of everyone else and carrying all the blame and hatred of the people he was fighting for. He fought for the good side even when the good side had always despised, underestimated, and hated him. And he gave his life for the cause when it was necessary.

And what did James do? Be a bully, get pregnant his teenage girlfriend, get married at 19, spend most of his 20s hiding at home, and die in his pajamas because he forgot his wand? Incredible contribution to society. At least he donated sperm—what a feat.

I cannot believe people let Snape get the high ground.

How do people casually overlook the fact that Snape spent six entire years of his life telling a kid—who never even got the chance to know his father—that said father was an arrogant douchebag? Like, how do people think that behavior is normal?

Snape, a grown man, spent years trying to convince a grieving, orphaned child that his dead father—who literally died protecting his family—was a terrible person. No compassion for a man who gave his life for his wife and son. No sympathy for a kid who grew up abused, unloved, and completely alone, only learning about his parents through stories told by others.

Instead, Snape chose to rehash his teenage rivalry with James Potter by bullying his son. Imagine being so petty that you can’t move past your high school grudges, even when the other person has been dead for over a decade.

Even the coldest, most detached person would muster some respect for a man who died fighting for good. But Snape? No. He chose to sit on his high horse—ignoring the fact that he was once a Death Eater who only changed sides when his own personal interests were threatened—and still had the audacity to act morally superior to James.

James Potter died a hero. Snape, on the other hand, spent his life tormenting the child of the woman he claimed to love—while refusing to let go of a teenage rivalry and weaponizing it against a traumatized, grieving boy.

I cannot get over how utterly selfish and cruel that is. Snape had no empathy for the dead and no sympathy for the living. And people still try to defend him? Seriously?

why do people who send hate messages have to hide through anons, LMAO. first of all, if anybody wants to confront me, or any other writers, then do so without hiding through the safety of anons.

secondly, i do post occasional updates about my writing progress because i don't want others to think that i'm abandoning my writing + i'm not the only writer here spamming the yan batfam tag??? and i don't do so frequently. i'm not calling anybody out, but it's not only me spamming tags with just answering random asks and posts unrelated to it, no?

and as much as i love to write, i have a life outside of tumblr and as prideful as this sounds, let's see how you can try to emulate writing a chapter more than 10k words because you don't want to publish a half-assed fanfic for others to consume.

i take my time, and if that time may take months then let me, because i don't get paid to write, and all the things i post in my blog are self-indulgent, not an obligation. there's plenty of other people out there who can produce works quickly, but not me.

thirdly, yes, i agree. there are more talented writers than me. they deserve more followers and i stand by that! my writing style is simple, very inconvenient at times, but it's what makes me comfortable, it's what makes me happy, but with your last message, it's like you're implying i don't deserve my own space in the writing community, especially in the batfam tags. there's no rules saying that just because i update slowly, then suddenly i'm undeserving of posting in the tags with updates in my work? seriously, anon, this sounds more like barely disguised jealousy and no offense, it's honestly pathetic if you think it hurts my feelings. if people don't like the way i write, then block me, unfollow me, confront me, do whatever.

before anymore hate is sent, i'll be turning off anons temporarily soon. and yes, i'll be posting this in the tags because i know i'm not the only author being targeted by hate asks, this is all for awareness. and to all those wanting to send hate, at least don't hide behind a mask of safety lol.

Reading Visser One’s book she always strikes me as one of those white women settlers that wanted to “save” Native Children from their culture.

This led to the Stolen Generation in Australia and residential schools in North America.

Heck when we see her in the series she is literally piloting a women of color’s body and cosplaying motherhood.

She thinks she is so much better then the colonist that want to just burn up villages.

She’s a white women liberal putting on a gentler face to what is at its end brutal colonialism.

It’s worth noting that alien invasions have been metaphors for colonization since War of the Worlds

I completely agree. There's a blog post I can't now find about older white women reacting to The Help by talking about how their housekeepers, nannies, cooks, etc. were "part of the family." Which — first of all, no. Your employee is your employee. The rights and respect you owe to your employee will always be different from those you owe to your family. Do not devalue their work, and thus the traditional work of women, by pretending that it isn't labor. But secondly...

"We're friends" or "we're family" sure is easy to say from a position of power. Anyone short on power but long on common sense understands the importance of ingratiating yourself to those in charge. Anyone in charge can choose to delude themself that this time when the kid goes "I love you, Miss Hannigan" they mean it. Such is the nature of power.

Like, one I think about all the time: my professor whom we called Professor Trelawney behind her back because she would constantly spout pseudoscience in class. She's not the least favorite teacher I've ever had, but she's on the short list — and on the day I graduated, she introduced herself to a family member as "Sol's one of my favorite students, and I'm probably Sol's favorite teacher." Why? Because I got her to think that. Why'd I do so? Because the semester before, Dr. W had knocked down my grade for "irrelevant discussion" after I argued with his statement that Ireland should still be ruled by England. I keep Dr. W, and the subsequent effect on Prof Trelawney, as my touchstone when I'm handling student conflict. Because. Such. Is the nature. Of power.

As people pointed out after watching Crash: any rich lady can hug her housekeeper any time she's feeling sad, and the worst the housekeeper can do is quit. Most housekeepers with any grasp of social norms wouldn't hug even their favorite boss even on her worst day, at least not without first getting explicit permission. Such is the nature of power.

And these are all softer examples, of positions that you have the legal right to walk away from. (Whether or not you can afford to quit your job is obviously a whole other ballgame.) When it's not just school or work, but it's your guardian or the person who literally owns you... Fuck. Kiss ass or die, I guess.

And if you want concessions, you'd better put in all the emotional work to get them. You have to be sad about being less powerful than the help-giver, but not too sad. You have to be completely helpless in the face of random misfortune, or else you don't deserve help. You have to be grateful when the help arrives, in such a way that makes it clear the helper mad your problem all better but that your problem was completely intractable without their intervention. Most of all, you better do it with a smile: I love you, Miss Hannigan.

random shit keeping me up at night:

steve has no plans other than working at family video for the rest of his life until he randomly goes with eddie, jeff and garet to la to check out some shady record deal they've been offered, because being a formerly wanted criminal and survivors of the infamous hawkins town disaster doesn't hurt your cred as a metal band. all ozzy did was bite the head off one little bat.

they've sent out a handful of tapes and some actually get picked up, even though everyone wants money just to take a meeting. steve is planning to plant his pretty ass down on venice beach for a week and do fuck all when he's approached by an excited looking punk girl asking if he's ever acted, modelled, anything? he has a look. he has the look for a project she's working on, she's co-director, would he be interested?

which is how steve harrington end up playing one of the lead roles as an undead jock in the worst b-rate horror flick you've ever seen. the kind that gets passed around at parties as joke. robin makes fun of it for the rest of his life, but he's the best thing in it and it puts him on the map. he's got natural charm and comedic timing, and the fact that he's basically playing himself and everyone adores working with him keeps landing him bigger roles.

meanwhile eddie cannot believe his awesome scream king boyfriend and the fact that he's casually hanging out with some of eddie's heroes. he's filming with john landis. cronenberg wants him for project. barbara crampton gushes about working with him. steve didn't even know who half these people were, is an unrepentant romcom fanboy. when asked by fangoria who he'd like to work with in the future he says john hughes, and everyone thinks its a really funny joke. only eddie knows how much of a dweeb steve really is.

corroded's kind of dead in the water at this point, but they've got a solid first album and steve is pretty close with the director he's working with at the moment, and the film is in development mainly off of steve's typecasting anyway. so steve is like "sammy, what about a psychadelic metal concept album running through the entire film?" and eddie's like "did you just call sam fucking raimi 'sammy'?" and sam is like "sure, set something up" *shrugs and goes back to writing about a demonic witch cult that steve's unassuming quarterback has to fight off with a cursed bible and a nail bat in a small town in iowa (some of which is steve's idea, thank you very much, its a collab for the ages)*

corroded coffin's soundtrack ends up a success, and much later a lauded cult classic. they get signed by someone who doesn't work out of a basement. steve is a hit, and its the first time he sees this many people dressed as a character he played for halloween, which is a trip. dustin sends him a pic from a party at his college wearing his now iconic letterman jacket and the bat and steve has genuinely never been as proud of anything he's worked on.

he lands a tiny part with about two lines as 'guy who gets face eaten' in a john carpenter film and john falls in love and makes him kurt russel's younger brother in a lovecraftian story about a a mysterious extraterrestrial force unleashed during a solar eclipse. eddie munson shakes kurt russels hand for about ten of the wildest seconds of his life at the premiere party. he'll score a song for john years later, and john will remember how much of a hyper fanboy he'd been that night and enough time will have passed thats it funny.

steve takes him to dinner with bruce campbell, who likes to call him kid apparently while steve tells him to fuck off, hes 8 years older and a dick, and apparently this is some injoke between them. eddie is dating a dude that has injokes with bruce campbell. eddie barely eats the entire time, just keeps about half a billion questions about every minute detail of evil dead to a minimum and lets the guy breathe. he's pretty sure bruce knows they're together, even though they dont go around announcing it, and he seems cool. he signs an autograph that eddie only feels a little mortified about asking for while steve rolls his eyes.

and steve is like i dont understand why me being a kickass point guard for three years didnt do shit for you but getting sprayed by a fuckton of fake blood in this terrible stephen king adaptation impresses you but ill take it.

eventually eddie composes a couple of songs solo for a scifi that does reasonably well and just leans fulltime into scoring. as a personal favor, john and him chainsmoke their way through a few collaborations on eddie's first and final solo record in the late 90's. it's indisputably his best work, and he tells steve he can die happy now.

they're just an adorable little horror power couple and i live for it

I know there are allegories for addiction and the fledgling whiff of mood disorders within the pre-nuclear run up too, which makes it more complicated, like yes, I wanna throat punch him for decisions he’s made but also that is a flawed man in a position without a win state. He's obviously a guy with deeply obsessive traits, and although initially he'd found a.. I don't wanna say healthy, the kind of work load he put himself under was by no means good for him, but it was FOR GOOD. So I'll say he had an ideal and was harming himself for it re:no sleep, constant stress, general unwellness in trying to get the cryo project off the ground. But when it came to the point of no return with necromancy, I think the easiest example (is actually not Titania and Ulysses, I think that's more of a scream for intimacy. That he couldn’t connect with his peers so he made someone he could love who didn’t question How he loved) was the exact point Cristabel treated him As a Godlike figure and showed him the shape of the soul and that preternatural Need to obsess transferred to the addictive power of necromancy.

That's another part of the "love" of it though, I think, that lysis is neither necessarily good, nor does it have a perfect form, just as love will always contain grief and can never be “pure”. Which worsens that John dictated the grief come first for his Saints, which I guess in some ways you might call a mercy, but it can only be a true mercy if it's the choice of the people involved, not an outside party. Maybe that’s more it, John wants to do good by Forcing What He Thinks Is Good on people.

Alecto is a very LITERAL example of some of the above too, John was so lonely Barbies were what made him feel seen, so what's better than a giant one? She'll get it right? She wont leave him, she'll love him and whatever he says she'll go "Yes John I agree!". And then, actually, he is once again a Huge Dick and when it doesn't work he locks her up. Like!! Sir!! You are repeating generational cycles with yourself, you have become your own terrible father in an unbreakable loop! (ACTUALLY SEE BELOW, baby G1deon did EXACTLY the same. In a way so did Harrow, also with Alecto. Lonely children seek comfort in the inanimate, because there’s a lack of complexity. Hi it’s me I’m also Children)

Earth!Prison fits so nicely with his inability, or lack of WANT of contemplation too. Sit his ass in the naughty corner and make him think about what he did lmao. he may have some flora and fauna for company

Yeahh I feel for Kiriona, she's only ever had 'my mum's great because she's a random skeleton that I can make sure loves me because she had no autonomy' Magnus, briefly, John mid a mental health crisis... Pyrrha having forgotten how to communicate with people. WORSE in some ways, Ianthe offering her a mutual exchange of friendship and it's IANTHE who is about as able to cope with loneliness as John, but on the opposite axis. The poor babies are not okay

I think that's one of the things capitalism has stolen from us as a species though isn't it, that... art can be bad. Because It can't?? As you said any form of self expression is an oddly selfless glance into the heart of someone, and the self can't be bad if the art it's offering is made from a place of love. (It's why crypto bollocks and AIgen is the anti art isn't it, profiteering is it's major point, not the act of creation. And, on a further and prolly more controversial note, a lot of gallery work. Things that sell for a price that could reinvigorate or entirely regenerate neighbourhoods or eliminate vast quantities of homelessness is just elaborate money laundering between the 1% and honestly, evil.)

We could all take a lesson from Pal! Deal with our trauma by writing porn, respect women and maybe like... resist self destruction. Just a teensy smidgen.

I'll shout this from any available elevation, roof tops or not, but I wanna grow up to be like her. Just adept at my craft and absolutely unhinged in love with what I do?? What more could you ask for?! I mean, also the emotionally damaging (affectionate) people with my output too. Like, muah. Haunting you with my narrative? -brow waggles-

@debtstothedead hi. I'm still not sorry but I will move if you want us too lmao

I have such a big beef with the way that the TLT fandom talks about Cam and Pal being codependent. I have not seen any word of god quotes that talk about them that way, but it seems to be this widely accepted truth that just doesn't click with my reading of the characters.

Certainly by NtN Pal has a dependent relationship with Cam, as they are sharing a body. There are even some parallels to codependency with how their use of necromancy in Cam's body causes her harm.

What I just don't get about the codependent label is that I don't see Cam and Pal enabling one or the other in destructive behavior. Certainly they partake in risky behavior that Pyrrah criticizes them for, but it seems to be a mutual decision. Cam is just as reckless as Pal is, and possibly moreso.

(And also Pyrrah is a huge projecting hypocrite. Love her tho I may, it's true.)

Pal's quotes about how grand lysis wasn't their inevitable end, but was the best and kindest option left to them complements the discussions we overhear in their recordings. Pal's pursuit of Cam's consent and her enthusiasm in giving it just doesn't match the codependent relationship that fans keep referencing.

I Saw The Fantastic Four Trailer and now I have Ideas

When I saw this trailer, I thought it was fascinating (no pun intended) that they were gonna have it set in the 60s because I love that. Then I remembered that the fantastic four were made in the 60s. So I got to thinking that Marvel could potentially have a subset of movies set in the 60s.

Like the fantastic four could start in 61 because that’s when the characters were originally made.

I would also love to see a Spider-Man movie set in the 60s. They wouldn’t even have to pull a random ass plot out of their ass. They could steal from the comics because the original comics have interesting source material in my opinion.

A 60s Spider-Man movie could start with the inevitable Peter getting bit. That’s a given. But I would love to see them explore his original origins. I think that the movie could potentially be about Peter discovering that he wants to be a hero. Like, at first he’ll stick to what he originally did in the comics which was actually performing as a showman with his powers. Then we could see him hit the hurdle of not being able to cash his check because he didn’t want to reveal his identity as Spider-Man. Then we could see the second hurdle with J Jonah Jamison ruining any chance of him doing any more shows. We could even see him save JJJs son and still get flamed by the guy. The villain could be whoever because they all have interesting storylines in my opinion it doesn’t really matter to me. But if we wanted to stay in the 60s timeline, we could go with chameleon who in the first chapter was a communist. But I think the villain could be anyone as long as they were in that 60s time frame.

Speaking of which, we could honestly have a mini series set in the 60s instead of multiple movies.

It would obviously have to come out after the fantastic four movie because it’s first episode, in my opinion, should be Peter breaking into the Baxter building, fighting the entire fantastic four, winning and then dipping because he found out they didn’t pay money if you were on the team. (A real comic issue)

Another episode should have daredevil who was also made during the 60s still in his fuckass yellow and red costume teaming up with Spidey to take down the Mad Hatter. (Another real comic issue)

We could have an Ant-man a Wasp adventure!

We could have an episode about Tony making his suit and finding his inspiration. Said episode could have Doctor Strange learning his magic and maybe the two meet one day and they try to combine it only for terrible results which causes them to have to work together and solve the issue.

We could have an episode about the X-Men forming and how they deal with the prejudices against mutants and people of color and women which was considerably worse during the 60s.

We could have a Quicksilver and Scarlet witch origin story! We could see them with their parents and how Pietro stole for his family, which got them chased out of the Roma camp! We could see their trauma, and we could see them wandering around Europe.

We have a Thor and Hulk friendship episode!

There are so many heroes made in the 60s, and that gives them MORE source material! They have so much but give us so little.

Anyways, thanks for reading!

Tik Tok Accounts stealing Content from Tumblr Astro Bloggers

!!!!!Warning!!!!!!!

@millysastroblog

So, early this morning, I was just randomly scrolling on TikTok and saw an astrology post. At first, I found it really interesting because it stated something I wrote in my own "Random Astro Observations" post from two years ago. But as I kept reading, I started noticing that the rest of the sentences also sounded way too similar to mine.

And then… BOOM. It hit me. Some random dumbass had the audacity to straight-up steal my content from Tumblr without ever asking for permission or giving credit. And no, this wasn’t one of those typical screenshot posts, it was a self-written post, formatted in a way that made it look like it was their original work. TikTok users would probably assume that this account was the real creator, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. IT’S FUCKING NOT.

These people don’t just steal and screenshot your work without giving credit, they go as far as rewriting it, editing small parts, slapping their own name on it, and then answering comments as if they actually have the same knowledge and insight as the original creator.

I was shocked. Because before realizing this, I actually thought that the TikTok account was creating their own observations. But no it’s fake. They just copy, paste, and claim it as theirs.

Like, I know you mediocre, good-for-nothing people don’t actually understand the astrology content you post. You just like the attention, the likes, and the views. Meanwhile, people like me have actually studied astrology for YEARS. I mean that I've spent over 5+ years studying astrological placements, reading charts, and truly understanding the deeper meanings. I didn’t just skim through random posts and use them as "resources" to build my own platform. I actually sat my ass down and studied for HOOOOUUURRSSS every single day because I genuinely wanted to understand myself and the people around me. Astrology has always been a passion for me.

I love learning new information, analyzing people’s placements, reading synastry and composite charts (which, let’s be real, these people probably don’t even know what those are). At this point, I could read someone’s birth chart and tell them things they aren’t even fully aware of themselves. BUTTTT the fact that some random Susanne or Tom really thinks they can just steal my content, build their own fan base off of my work, and assume I won’t find out? That’s actually diabolical.

Let’s be honest you guys don’t know shit about astrology like that. The only reason you even have information to post on TikTok is because of original creators who actually have talent, knowledge, and a passion for sharing it.

ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

It’s okay to start as a beginner and learn at your own pace. I mean bitch there is CHatGPT now like I don't understand. But doing it in a dishonest and disrespectful way? That’s just wrong, and you know it. You just don’t care.

All I’m trying to say is that this shit needs to MF STOP NOW!

I’m tired of having to remind 5–10 TikTokers that this content is MINE!!!!!!!! And in general, just stop doing this to other bloggers too. Just stop. It’s not fair, and you know it.

Have some respect. Let it be. Create your own original posts and share them with whoever you want, but let us Tumblr bloggers rest. For god’s sake, we are tired of our work being ripped off left and right. It’s immature, it’s childish, and it needs to end.

And to that dumbass TikTok user who literally stole my shit DELETE IT NOW. Hoe, I SAID NOW. I know you’re going to see this.

I will make sure your page gets reported , hoe!!!.

Tik Tok account to ban:

The lost boys main hcs

Marko

5th times the charm with trying to post this.tumblr hates me. This isn't proofread. Sorry it's short I'm tired as fuck and irritated. But I hope you enjoy it nonetheless 🖤

Marko is an only child, and he grew up without a father. His mother was a seamstress and worked out of their home when he was a child. His mother was Italian, and his father was Swedish. When Marko was born, they were already living in the united states though so Marko had never been to either country, and he had never met any of his other family members. his dad died when he was 8, so he hardly remembers him now. His mother, on the other hand, died on his 16th birthday, falling victim to the san Francisco plague in 1904. Which was an epidemic of the black plague. He had to abandon her in their home to avoid catching it himself. Taking the last of the money they had and the necklace his mother wore with a picture of their family in it. Not long after, he found the boys, and they all stuck together (as you can guess), but not until after he struggled around town by himself for a few months. God, i need to stop making this shit sad hand on switching gears. He was the youngest when the boys got turned into vamps he had only turned 18 that summer He really tries to act more mature than he is, but as soon as something funny happens, that's over. Marko has a really good sense of humor, but he finds a lot of really stupid shit funny. He's the type of dude to watch his friends fall face down ass up on concrete and start laughing and snapping a photo before asking if they are ok (he is me) This also can lean into how he does lowkey bully people on the boardwalk. Mostly surf nazis but let's be so deadass he's kind of a dick to everyone there in his own special way. Him and paul have a tendency to double team people to: like whoever they come at wont have a chance to say anything cause as soon as one of them pauses the other jumps in to just dog on the person who annoyed them. Some of his insults get pretty creative as well: so if he says something to you thats just out of pocket,like 85% of the time its one of the ones that makes you stop to think about it before you can even get offended 🤣 Strange enough, though. He is very well spoken and charismatic when you talk to him normally. When talking, you notice after a while that he's not one of those folks that cuss every other sentence. Like he will throw it in there like everyone does, but not all the time if you feel me Idk how to describe it. he still talks like a normal person and uses slang and stuff, but he is oddly classy vocabulary wise. He's got a slightly softer tone to his voice as well, which makes his way of speaking come off smoother. He's also extremely smart. Having conversations with him is never really dull or unpleasant. (Unless you're an unlucky boardwalk asshole) Marko is very imaginative and creative. He never stops coming up with things. He hoards hobbies like a dragon hoard gold. From painting to sewing to cooking to wood carving, He just knows how to do this stuff, and he loves it. You will never catch him doing nothing. Even when he's spaced out at the wall, the dude is fiddling with something or sewing. Something together, he just can't stop. He loves giving gifts to friends as well. All of the boys have gifts from Marko that he's made himself. Mostly cause he loves showing off he has skill and unlike Paul he doesn't care if people touch his stuff so he will drag you around his space handing you stuff and showing you everything he's made/ collected cause he's just so proud. Just don't break it. He will be fucking pissed if You break it. Or if you give away anything he gifted you. Also he will talk to you about this stuff for hours on end if you let him (Do let him. He will love you for life if you show Intrests in the things he likes) his space is really cluttered. But looking around, it's mostly albums,art, fabric,patches, and various random objects.

other then that he's really clean. On that note He does not like getting covered in blood when he eats just sayin. He's like the least messy eater of the group mainly cause he hates getting it on his jacket. Plus the texture of dried blood on him makes him want to rip his skin off. It's just one of those things he can't stand So he makes sure to clean up fast. That doesn't mean he doesn't like toying with victims though he's a jumpscare master. He likes to scare his victims half to death before beating the shit outta them. He jokes that hes “tenderizing The meat”. When he does this He gets a kick outta that one. Oh he also likes music, he's not like overly into it though He likes alot of different types as well. Some of his favorite generas are Rock,goth,classical, and some 30s jazz strange enough. He does not give a DAMN what the others have to say about his music taste. if He wants to play his music it will be loud and proud. If they don't like it they are free To take it up with him. (They never will)

this is going to be all over the place and probably have holes bcs I have a shit memory but bear with me here, I've been pacing for a while while ruminating and i must get it out the question of 'why gemma and mark, why choose them specifically for this experiment?' has been one that's been needling me since I got into the show. there's always the option that it was random, of course, but what's the fun in that? so it must be purposeful. i considered the option that lumon didn't stage her death and that she died as they said, in a regular car crash, and they necromancied/are necromancing her, but i'm not a huge fan of that one, despite the fact that it would give the easiest explanation for mark identifying her corpse and answer the 'why' question (convenience). mostly i'm against it bcs it seems much harder to me to bring a person back to life + to remove all the wounds she would've incurred upon impact than it does to fake a death, and the identification thing could with a bit more difficulty be attributed to the dead body being too charred to be easily recognized (and really, i'm a huge proponent of the idea that sometimes when we badly don't want something to be true, we're much more likely to believe it is (and vice versa)).

so i'm going with the base and simple foundation where lumon orchestrated the death, and we're back to 'why them?'. Are there no widowed people in the city who could be offered severance as an escape? There have to be some! so mark and gemma can't be random.

(i'm playing with the idea that gemma might've found something she shouldn't have and this was their way of killing two birds with one stone, but it's an aside, partially because i cant remember if she taught in the same school as mark. if she did, it's of some interest, considering the weird shit that was going on in the basement*)

mainly i'm concentrating on what i believe the focal point is, what would matter to lumon in selecting the candidates. one, the couple would have to love each other strongly (bcs it would rly test the 'is love a loophole to severance, does it cross the divide' + it would make the widowed party more susceptible to accepting oblivion). two, the widowed party would have to lean towards oblivion when under stress.

and that makes me think that whoever chose them must have known them. idk if its ricken (through malice (smts theorized in the fandom) or through near-suspicious naivete (all present + we have proof he'll just fucking talk to anyone and believe them, after his convo with natalie about the book), if it's some fellow professor or student that hasn't been revealed yet, if it's some other severed employee who has a relationship to o!mark/gemma that we havent witnessed yet, but somebody must have known them.

i'm kind of leaning ricken bcs of how close he was to gemma and mark, their whole friend group/double date situation, but then again idk if he'd be capable of properly telling what their deal is (in the love department and the psychology department) or if anyone would find him reliable (if we're going the naivete route, idk if it holds up as well). if we're going the malice route (where ricken isn't as oblivious and constantly wrong), it would make a bit more sense. either way, i believe that sb who knows them, sb who knows how they work and how they deal with stress (that mark runs away and that gemma (in my hc, based on the 'she'd tell me to get off my ass' line) pushes onward) marked them as viable options for lumon, and that that's why they were chosen as lab rats of the month.

* there was smt up with that right??? my memory fails me

“𝐈𝐅 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐊𝐈𝐋𝐋” — 02

Yandere! Sosuke Aizen X F! reader

TW: murder, obsession, NSFW (oral M! receiving)

“Oh dear lieutenantt” The mans words were a bit slurring, he has just gotten back from the bar. And the first thing he he did when coming back to the barracks was trying to find you.

He wanted to mess with you a bit.. he has messed with you before and you never stood up for yourself. Since he knew that you weren’t going to do anything about it, he has been messing with you ever since.

“Where the hell is she..” He held onto the wall for support as he walked through the halls. He eventually came to a random room, he slowly slid the door open.

“The fuck?” He said as he felt a sudden presence behind him, he was drunk yes but the presence felt so heavy, there was no way that he wouldn’t have noticed it..?

“Hello, sir Erin correct?” The voice of the man behind him sent shivers down his spine, the way his name slid off his tongue creeped the guy out.

“What is it to you?!” He quickly turned his neck, eyes widening in shock when seeing it was squad 5 lieutenant. And he wasn’t smiling like he usually does.

Well he is definitely smiling, but the way his lips curved upward while showing a little bit of teeth creeped him out, there was something bad about that smile and he was terribly frightened.

“I have some things I’d like to discuss with you.” Sosuke raised his foot up to reach his back, kicking him to the floor. He was enraged, he isn’t the type of man to manhandle someone ever.

But this Erin guy.. is the guy from the other day. He was the one of the members who were making comments about your body. Sosuke remembered his face and took his time to plan when to kill him.

Erin was on the ground, terrified on what was about to happen. This is not the kindhearted lieutenant that everyone knows and love. “If you scream, i’ll end this discussion in a heartbeat.” Sosuke drew his blade, pointing the tip of his blade right to his nose.

Erin nodded quickly, the fear in him had made him react quicker. Sosuke smiled wider at the sight of his fear, he relaxed, putting his blade down.

“Do you recall when Y/N passed by the other day? You said ‘look at that ass, it’s a work of art’..”

“I was only complimenting her! You get me right? I mean the lieutenant is stunning! I was just talking about her looks!”

He no longer had a smile painted on his face, his eyes turned black and he quickly raised his blade, slightly slicing open Erin’s cheek. He gasped when feeling the blood dripping down his cheek.

“You know, I really don’t mind when people compliment what is mine..”

“But when someone goes as far as stealing her panties and masturbates with it in their hand.. That’s where I draw the line.” Erin titled his head in confusion, he’s never done such thing before? could this be all a misunderstanding?

“I have never-”

Erins words were cut off by Sosuke as he continued to talk.

“That is why.. I went for the head of your friend.” Sosuke revealed the item he was holding behind his back. Erin didn’t even notice he was hiding something anyways.

But when his eyes shifted to the item, his eyes were filled with such horror.

Sosuke was holding up the head of his friend, what person in their right mind would do this kind of thing?!

“You’re crazy. You’re absolutely crazy..” Erin slowly backed up while he was still on the floor, Aizen only walked closer the further he walked away.

“I am not mad.. but for the women I cherish.. I would happily cross any boundary, even my own sanity.”

After finding out that two of members of your squad were killed by murder, you were left in distress. You were in your office, thinking about what to do.

You saw your zanpakuto, up against your desk. Maybe you could talk to your zanpakuto about it, see what he suggests.

You slowly reached your hand out , wanting to reach for your zanpakuto until a sudden knock on the door disturbed you, making you retreat your hand.

“Come on in!”

“Afternoon, Y/N. I came by to see how you were doing.” It was Sosuke! Seeing him made you feel at ease again. He walked over to your desk.

“I’ve been better.”

“If you find yourself with some time to spare, I’d be delighted to take you somewhere. It’s a place I often visit when my thoughts are.. unclear.”

You could feel your cheeks heat up, was he asking you out on a date? You were supposed to train today but you train all the time.. so it wouldn’t be bad if you spent some time with Sosuke right?

“I have some time right now.” You shyly stated while looking around for something, you were really just trying to hide your blushed face from him. How embarrassing.

He chuckled, putting his hand out to you.. “Then let us leave.”

“My legs are starting to hurt! How much longer are we going to walk.” You groaned, your legs were beginning to feel a bit wobbly, you haven’t had enough nutrients recently due to training and the stress of the murders recently.

Sosuke had a worried look in his eyes when seeing you push yourself so hard.

You were about to fall over, until Sosuke caught you right on time. “I’ll carry you for the remainder of the way, do you have any problems with that?” There was a clear consideration in his voice.

“I’m more than okay with that.”

He nodded, smiling gently at you before swiftly picking you up. He carried you bridal style. It was like being in a romance movie.

The field around you two was incredibly beautiful, the long bright green grass, flowers scattered everywhere, the clean air. It really was beautiful, you desperately wanted this moment to last. You found yourself so at ease you laid your head on his shoulder.

Your hand slowly moved up closer to his chest, you were making circles with your fingers at his chest. You had no idea what you were doing but it just felt right to do so. After realizing what you have done you quickly retreated your hand back, mumbling a quiet ‘sorry’

Once again, he chuckles at you. His gaze softening when making contact with yours.. “Such beauty. It’s not often one encounters someone who is as perfectly crafted like you.” You could feel the grip of his hands tightening.

He knows how beautiful you are, and he is sure everyone can see you the exact same way. It angers him.. other will look at what is his. But would never blame you for that, you are sculpted perfectly.

That is why, he will kill anyone who looks your way.

“We’re here.” He said as he carefully placed you down, he had his hand gently placed on your back in case you were still not ready to stand.

You found yourself at the entrance of the cave that was barely visible, the entrance was concealed by ivy and moss. You turned your neck to him, a bit hesitant to enter. He noticed your hesitation, taking your hand and using his other hand to move the ivy away.

As you stepped inside you were met with the cool air in the cave. The sound of water gently dripping from the stalactites above.

In the center of the cave, there lies a small crystal-clear pool of water. The surface slightly being covered with lotus flowers. Slowly you walked over to the water, gently touching the water.

Your eyes had that starry effect in it, it was incredibly beautiful. You have never seen such a place.

“Oh Sosuke.. It’s beautiful.” While you were focused on the view in front of you, Sosuke’s eyes were focused on you. You were far more beautiful than this place.

“Isn’t it?”

You didn’t even notice that he was really staring at you, he was saying you were beautiful, instead of the view.

“Come on.” He calmly said before leading you to a spot where the view looked much more elegant.

The two of you sat together, backs laid up against a rock. You could see the water from where you were, the cave really was one of a kind.

“How did you find such a beautiful place Sosuke?” He flashed you a charming smile before answering, “I was just wondering around.. then just happened to find this place.”

You hummed and you parted your lips, about to say something until he spoke first. “As soon as I laid my eyes on the scenery, I couldn’t help but think it was the perfect setting for us. And judging from your expressions, I was right.”

You let out a small and gentle laugh, “You’re a very smart man Sosuke.” You moved your knees to your chest, Sosuke turned over to you and slightly saw the color of your panties since you wore a miniskirt with your uniform.

“Could I ask you something, Y/N?” You could tell he was about to ask something serious, so you gave him your full attention.

“Tell me.. if you possessed the ability to reshape the world, would you take it upon yourself into making it a better place? Even if it meant dismantling the very system that holds it together?”

The question was very odd but you didn’t think much to it, there was no way that there could be a deeper meaning behind it, right?

“Of course I would, I mean if I could create a world much better than this one why wouldn’t I take action on it? It’s like i’m setting the world for failure. I don’t think thats right.. y’know?”

Your answer satisfied him, maybe he didn’t have to force you to agree with his plans. But who knows.. he isn’t going to tell you just yet. Guess we’ll just have to see how you react once he tells you.

You stretched your legs out when realizing what kind of question he was asking, where was he even going with this? “Sosuke is there..” Your words stopped when you turned your neck to him, your nose touched his.

He was dangerously close with your face, you became stiff. How did he end up moving this close to you? Should you back away.

He smiled when seeing you so nervous about how close he was so, he backed away just a bit. “You’re absolutely beautiful.” He whispered as he brushed his hand against your cheek.

For a moment, everything just went silent. The water dripped from the stalactites above stopped. The only thing that could be heard slightly was the sound of your heart beating rapidly.

Your glossy lips slightly parted, wanting to speak but nothing came out.. His lips slightly parted as well. There was a clear tension between you two..

He cupped your cheek with one hand, rubbing your cheek with his thumb. Slowly he brought his own face closer to yours, still cupping your cheek.

Your lips softly met with his, the warmth of the kiss spread throughout your body.

This is the feeling that Sosuke longed for, your lips were incredibly gentle. The tension continued to build up slowly, he turned his head slightly, deepening the kiss. He continued to do small kisses here and there, but there were a few sloppy ones.. as well with rougher ones.

There was a slight opening, so he took that chance to slide his tongue into your mouth. You did a quiet and small moan as his tongue explored your mouth. This was all happening so fast.. but were you going to complain? hell no.

When he finally pulled back, there was a silence. He stared at you for quite some time, then stared down at your swollen pinky lips that were caused from him.

“Sosuke..” You muttered out, Sosuke gave no response. He only brushed a piece of your hair behind your ear. He was admiring you, he loves you dearly.

“You don’t plan to runaway from me, do you?” The question caught you off guard, but of course there shouldn’t be any other meaning behind it. And you were definitely not about to runaway now.

You’ve loved this man for years, you remember him from your academy years. He was always the man you loved, and only him. Many other girls fell in love with him left and right but your love is much more different, yours wasn’t lust at all.

“Good.” He gently smashed his lips onto yours, he moved his hand to the back of your head, pushing your head further in to deepen the kiss.

You wrapped your arms around his neck, you just couldn’t help yourself to his touch, this is the touch you longed for so long.

He slid his tongue right back into your mouth, causing you to moan in his mouth. The way you moaned by just a little action only aroused him, how loud could he get you to moan? and how loud could he get you to moan out his name.

Slowly, you reached your hand out to his thigh, just for support.. but your hand landed on something else.. it wasn’t his thigh.

You quickly pulled your hand back, but before you could even place your hand on another part of his body, he grabbed your hand and led it back to the spot you last touched.

He pulled away, a string of saliva followed as he did—“Look at what you have done to me, I’m a mess.” You could feel his hardness from his shihakushō.

You began to feel him up, you could hear slight whimpers coming from him. He wanted more of you, he wanted to have your lips around his cock, he wanted everything from you.

“Forgive me. But I just cannot hold myself back.” He undid his pants, slightly lowering them. Just enough for his cock to be out.

Your eyes glistened when seeing his length, the thickness, the pre-cum on his pinky tip. Everything about him was beautiful, even his cock. This man is perfect.

The length did slightly frighten you, you’ve never seen someone so .. long. But what do you know? You’ve never even touched a man before.

“I take that this is your first time doing any of these things?” Your eyes shifted away from his sex then to his eyes, you nodded.

He felt himself twitch, the fact that no other man has had himself inside of your mouth just turned him on even more, he was the first and he was definitely going to be the last. He will not have another mans sex be in contact with you.

“I’ll be gentle with you then.” Was he going to have sex with you right now?! In a cave?? This place is extremely dazzling but you much rather have sex for the first time in bed. Instead of a cold pretty cave.

While you were stuck in your own thoughts, Sosuke grabbed the back of your head again, he shoved your head down to his sex.

Well that definitely wasn’t gentle..

You gagged a bit when taking all of him, You were a bit confused on what to do next.. but you’re going to try your best to please this man.

Sosuke had pulled your hair back, just so it wouldn’t get into your way. You quickly got used to his length, you took your hand, wrapping it around the remainder of his length.

He was way too long for you, so you needed to give him a blowjob while you suck on his dick. The wetness of your mouth covered his dick, so it was much easier to stroke his cock.

The corner of your eyes began to get teary , even though you were taking half of his length it was almost too much for you. Sosuke groaned when feeling your tongue wrap around the tip of his shaft.

He gripped onto your hair as you gave him strokes on his cock while sucking onto his sex, you could feel him twitch while sucking.

“Hah..” You looked up when hearing him panting, just you making eye contact him could make him cum, that’s how much this man was aroused by you. But of course he couldn’t cum just yet, he wants to enjoy this a little longer.

Your cheeks hallowed, taking him as much as you could without gagging, earning a groan from him.

“You’re.. fuck.. doing splendid.” Sosuke praised you even while sucking his dick, you definitely deserved it. The way his toes curled by your strokes, his hand gripping tightly onto your hair because he could feel your tongue swirling around, the small kisses you placed when you weren’t sucking.

There’s no way he could last longer.

Your movements began to get sloppier, but that didn’t mean that he wasn’t enjoying it. His groans and moans began to get slightly louder.

You removed your mouth from his sex just to get a quick breather, making a pop sound. “Sosuke..I-” Sosuke grabbed your head, shoving it back down to his dick.

“I apologize.. I didn’t want to make a mess everywhere.” As he said that you could feel a warm salty liquid filling up your mouth.

He kept your head down until he was sure that your mouth was full with his seed, he didn’t want a drop of it wasted.

He then released your head, “Do not waste even a single drop of it. Swallow it.” You pulled your head back, mouth full of cum.

You nodded, swallowing the warm salty cum of his. He grabbed your cheek, pressing it slightly, just enough to open your mouth slightly. He smirked when seeing you had actually swallowed it.

“That’s my good girl.” He placed a small kiss on your lips. He then made you put away his sex, making you also fix his pants.

“I’m sorry if.. I didn’t do a very good job. It was my first time.” You hid your face with your hands, he chuckled by your consideration.

“You did amazing my dear Y/N. You did make me cum. That says a lot.” He grabbed your hands, moving it aside just so he could place a small and gentle kiss on your forehead.

“Let’s stay here a little while longer..”

“Yes, Sosuke.”

[blluespirit]

I sort of like the thought that Zuko and Aang take the Sun Warriors' warning not to tell anyone about the dragons a little more seriously… and they keep it between them. Of course, they trust Sokka, Toph and Katara. Of course they know they wouldn’t tell anyone, but now three people (including Iroh) know the truth about Ran and Shaw. And that’s three too many when you’re trying to keep a secret.

(and there are other people at the temple as well - like Haru, Teo and The Duke - who, while trustworthy, aren’t as close to them as the others, and when it comes to secrets with as much consequence as this one, you can’t afford to take any chances.)

Furthermore, the culture within the Fire Nation since Sozin’s rein has been warped. The culture is not to respect the dragons as the original firebenders, it’s to conquer and kill them. It’s the ultimate proof of your strength as a firebender. All it takes is one mistake before rumour spreads, and people go looking for the ultimate hunt. It’s not something Zuko or Aang can risk.

Whether Katara, Toph and Sokka (and Suki) ever find out the truth is up to you. But post-war, after Zuko returns from a strange, poorly explained trip with a dragon, and eventually develops the ability to use rainbow fire, either the others have some questions about Aang’s knowing look, or they are finally let in on a monumental secret.
