#and this stupid romanticization of it makes me so mad

[olderthannetfic]

People getting big mad over Taisho aesthetic is so stupid. Yes, Japan did brutal colonialism during the Taisho era and I will never forgive them for the destruction they perpetuated in my home country until they truly apologize and, as a society, recognize the harm they have done.

But also. Taisho was a whole period in their history characterized by rapid social and technological changes. Imperialism isn't the only thing they did during that time. It's literally normal for Japanese people to find it beautiful and intriguing. It's one thing to believe Taisho romanticism needs to also be accompanied by proper education on the imperialism they perpetuated, but it's quite another to say Japanese people are not allowed to touch the era without 7291370 apologetic disclaimers and making sure everyone knows that Japan is Big Evil.

I have never seen any western community get so mad about Victorian (or colonial American, as long as you call it ~historical~ instead of colonial) aesthetics, and I'm not entirely convinced this explosive reaction to Taisho themed costumes is not racism.

--

Oh boy. I had not realized this was a thing, but yeah, it strikes me as pretty suspicious if people are cool with the Western version. Honestly, you can even say it's colonial as long as you're like "I visited Colonial Williamsburg, yay!" and not "Colonialism is great!" and nobody makes a peep.

I always pick up manga like Haikara-san ga Tooru at Bookoff just because the fashion is neat. I love that arrow fletching-pattern top, hakama, and ankle boots look. I used to collect anything with that on the cover or that seemed to be set in the Heian period just for aesthetic reasons.

I'm going to assume someone is a "Vintage fashion, not vintage values" person unless they give me reason to think otherwise.

when you're back from your break, it'd be really cool if you wrote headcanons about Dean raising Sam :) I feel like the fandom forgets that Dean is basically his dad sometimes and I think it'd be interesting to see how Dean acted like a dad at such a young age 😌 things he did, ways he protected Sam, idk, stuff like that :3

(obviously there's literally no pressure to write this, I just really love and respect your headcanons and style!!)

(p.s. just to make sure you know: in no way is this prompt related to Wincest 🤮)

ooo wait i love this omg and thank you for clarifying no wincest lol bc i will NEVER support or write about it. i hope i did your request justice, and thank you so so so much for your sweet words!

DISCLAIMER: this really should go without saying, but i’ll clarify it anyway in case anyone wants to think otherwise— in absolutely no way am i romanticizing or aestheticizing what sam and dean both went through as children or adults. while supernatural is a tv show, and sam and dean are fictional characters, real people and children experience domestic violence, neglect and abuse in the our world every single day. please do not read or interact if you are sensitive to these topics.

██████████████████████████

❝ long as i’m around,

nothin’ bad is gonna happen to you. ❞

OR my headcanons of dean being a single mom who works two jobs (aka raising sam while also raising himself)!

『 part 7 of @bejeweledinterludes’ headcanons series. 』

‧˚₊⋅ ──── faith’s tell-all. to everyone who’s ever shown my writing love / support, thank you to the stars and back— it means everything and more. also, i’ll be leaving again, perhaps for good. all i’m gonna say is that my thoughts / emotions aren’t doing good at all right now, and this app is the cause of it (for the first time ever). obviously, i don’t like feeling this way, and i certainly don’t want it to reflect in my writing / my actions on this app, so i’m probably gonna dip. i don’t really like talking about my feelings (in general, but especially on here) or asking for pity, so i’m not going to bother y’all with that. anyways enjoy this one, hopefully see ya soon <3

𖤐 ────────────────────────

> “protect sammy,” was the only thing dean remembers from his younger days for the most part. only thing he knew. i could delve into the absolute nitty gritty, the abuse, the hardships, the burdens that both sam and dean endured, but if i think too hard about it, i get mad— because no child should have to raise another child. ever.

let me be very clear on that, and this: most of the family dynamics in supernatural are not healthy by any means— but they are a reality for many, which is one of the reasons why people resonate with the show.

> now, throughout the show, we can see that dean is potrayed as somewhat of a father figure / guardian type— from regular children to monster children, to ben, jack, claire, kevin, etc. maybe more of a ‘fun uncle’ type situation, since he’s told kids (and thus, the audience) time and time again that he is not someone to look up to, or to become. which is a double edged sword.

because on the one hand, dean has a point: he’s self-deprecating, an alcoholic, has a temper, treats people like shit, and makes rash decisions that usually end in violence or a shattered bond.

but don’t think that’s everything. dean’s self-deprecating because that’s all he knows. and how the hell else would he treat himself? he’s an alcoholic because everyone that was around him drank when he was a kid— and the father figures in his life didn’t promote sobriety at all. he has a temper because when he can’t control things, that means he can’t control the outcome. he doesn’t know what’s gonna happen, and that’s why he gets so angry all the time. he treats people like shit, mostly because the ones he does treat like scum usually deserve it. the rest are because of his big stupid mouth. the rash decisions come from a place of pure panic, fear, and worry about his family— instilled in him since the night his house went up in flames.

now, all this to say, dean is a good person, deep down. because we see all throughout the show that dean wants to be better, to stop being the way he is when emotions do eventually get the better of him, to stop the habits he’s created.

> and it’s no secret that dean winchester was forced to raise sam— yet i feel that it’s severely overlooked in the show itself. sure, we do see flashbacks once in a while of a young dean taking care of a young sam, but people (including myself) brush over the fact that this was pretty much every day for dean. weeks, months, years, a decade? taking care of his brother, always before himself. let’s dive into my mind of what i think happened:

> dean stole for him and sam. obviously, yes, we all know this, since it’s canon from the show— but that was dean’s ever first crime: shoplifting / petty theft. the cop let him go, though, until one of the next towns a few months later when dean got too cocky with the cashier and smartmouthed the deputy. that landed him in a holding cell.

> dean also protected sam at school. and yes, once again, this is shown in the show, but dean was a grade-a menace when it came to his brother. shit talk dean all you want, call him anything you please, but if his brother was brought up? he blew a gasket, and the dude’s lights out. every time.

> dean did all the talking (and still does, sometimes). anywhere he and sam went alone in his younger years, dean’s mouth was the only one that was moving. diners, motel lobbies, libraries, restaurants, dive bars, pubs, you name it. sam was too nice to talk to strangers— and dean learned early on that strangers aren’t doing something ‘just to be nice’. ever.

dean’s mistrusting, down to his last nerve ending— but if his dad’s with them, he can relax. otherwise, it’s eyes everywhere, making sure they won’t be messed with.

> dean made the most of everything. we see this in the christmas episode (the flashback to their younger selves) and the fireworks memory in dean’s heaven. his main priority, if not to protect sam, was to cheer him up. keep him happy. maybe not distracted— but to take his mind off of the real world. we all do it, dean just made it easier for his brother to do so.

but sam wasn’t totally clueless, obviously— he’s smart. maybe an idiot sometimes, but not outright dumb. he knew there were things that dean and john didn’t tell him, but he didn’t press when he was younger—because sometimes, being oblivious to things was kinda nice.

this changed as sam got older, as we know. sam noped his way out of there the second he got a chance. and while dean was mad that he left— he was happy for him, too. because sam did it. he got out.

> dean definitely is / was a ‘do as i say, not as i do’ type when it came to sam (and pretty much everyone else too). dean was a bad influence, yes, but he never let sam just do whatever he did. back then, dean drank, smoked, the whole nine yards to fit in, be cool, whatever— but best believe if sam wanted to try any of that, dean shut down that idea immediately.

> that sums up most of dean’s side, though. because sam was the one who was too good, too nice, too soft— and dean wanted him to stay that way. because he wanted sam to have a normal freakin’ life (cue that speech dean gave sam in like… season 5?), to have a family. dean didn’t think he could have, or deserve that. besides, who the hell would take him?

(it’s me. i would take him)

short asf

you :

00:12 - Ellie, where are you?

00:34 - Ellie istg answer me!!

1:02 - c’mon you said you’d come over today

Els 🖕🏻:

1:55 - im omw

1:57 - dont bother.

2:01 - im sorry im late

2:01 - you’re always sorry, dont come home and go fuck one of your stupid fangirls

2:02 - im coming over

2:02 - i said no

2:03 - c’mon lemme make it up to you 💋

2:05 - im gonna block you

2:32 - yn? !message not delivered!

“fuck” Ellie mumbled under her breath, going out of the studio and jumps in her Truck. going over speed’s limit and then knocking hard enough on your apartment to wake up everyone else in the combo.

you get up from your bed, unable to sleep due to waiting for her all night.

you open your door and when you see Ellie standing in front of it, smelling weed and alcohol, you know she wasn’t gonna be easy to deal with tonight.

“Ellie go home, its 3 in the morning…”

“cmon let me in baby” she said in a whisper, almost sounding like a whine.

You and Ellie’s relationship was complicated- that was what you were saying to your friends, because the amount of time you two broke up, that she cheated on you, that you would expose her nudes on internet, that she would sleep with a stranger just to piss you off and somehow you’d still let her come back in your arms- as she did the same with you. you would do shitty things as well, like saying to all of her fans that the concert was cancelled or that it changed location. you could also post on twitter her worse secrets when you learned that she cheated on you. you’d also make up lies about some random stuff just to get a revenge out of her.

but mostly she would just fuck up your trust for her like coming home 4 hours later or cheating on the infinite amount of girls. she’d also love bomb you to get you back and then would disappear for weeks. she also showed all of her band’s member the sextape she got of you- and you knew after Dina, the base player told it to you. You and ellie would randomly call eachothers- especially when she or you were under something, most likely weed or alcohol but sometimes something else. It wasnt rare that you would make her jealous and posting a story of you and a girl on instagram and she’d come over to fuck you dumb. only to wake up alone in the bed.

“ellie please i just wanna sleep tonight, no fight.”

“and please i just wanna say sorry, no fight.” Ellie answered, thinking she was a smart girl for this one

you rolled your eyes.

“are you even able to walk?” you asked her, seeing her flushed cheeks and her eyes red like hell

“of course i am baby, im okay.. please let me just make it up to you im so sorry im late”

“no youre not! because you wouldve told me you’d come home late or you wouldve just told me that you were busy!!!”

“im so sorry..” she says in a childish tone, just as if she was mocking you for being so mad.

“fuck off els”

Ellie rolled her eyes and made her way inside, taking steps closer to you.

“dont talk to me like that.” Ellie says, looking right into your eyes- mood changing suddenly, she didnt get the answer she wanted.

“you dont show up 4 hours late, bitch”

Ellie’s jaw tightened and she looked at you furiously

“tell me you just wanted to fuck me Ellie.”

“dont you ever call me ‘bitch’ again.”

“or what? you’re gonna leave? that already happened, i can survive it.”

“nah.. im gonna give you a lesson.”

“the fuck you mean?”

“get on your knees” Ellie said, tone demanding.

“i wont do shit you ask me to do Ellie.” you say scared of what she’s gonna ask you to do. you have some suspicions, but your mind is overthinking about so many possibilities.

Ellie puts her hands on your shoulders and force you to get you on your knees. She looks at you from down and she takes off her pants along with her boxers.

“you know what to do now.” Ellie tells you, intertwining her fingers with your hair, pulling you closer to her pussy. You start to give her short licks, obviously nothing enough for her.

“I swear to god you motherfucker if you dont do what-“

Ellie started but got cut off with one of her whines by you sucking her clit like your life depended on it. Your knees hurts, but her grip in your hair is too strong for you to move. your holding her by the thighs, moaning against her cunt by how good she tastes. obviously pussydrunk by her. and the perfect little grunts she would make made you so fucking wet. her hips would be jerking against your face, riding your tongue the best she could to chase your high. Ellie would never tell you, but you ever were the only one to make her cum. she knew that it would make your ego so much too high if she told you that on countless girls you were the only one able to please her. you know her sweet spots and she wasnt scared to be vulnerable with you. she always was. and you always were too.

“Fuck- fuck.. just like that, yeah”

her grunts would turn into whines and her whines into small moans. Ellie wasnt that much of a loud girl, but you knew if she was vocal- it was good. it made you laugh, sending vibrations through her clit.

“Im gonna- fuckkk!!” she moans out as she cums in your mouth. you still suck her clit as she rides your tongue for her high to be longer.

you get up from your knees and ellie kisses you, tasting herself on your tongue. the kiss turns rapidly messy and rough. Ellie would hold you by the hips, directing you by the bed. as soon as you touched the bed, she made you lay down on it and she got on top of you, still making out with you. her kisses got on your jaw until your neck. she then took a pause to look at you. you were eye doying her- she would always win. you were her little slut.

“only needed my” puts a finger into your core “fingers to shut that attitude huh?”

she takes off your shirt- which you were braless under it. peaking already your tits, ellie titled her head, smirking

“you got ready for me, doll?”

you nodded, wanting more of her.

“nuh huh, words baby, i want words.” she told you as the sucked one of your nipples as one of her hand was massaging the other breast. as her other hand was working on your clit to make you feel sooo good.

“j-just for you els!” you obey to her request, only wanting her to go faster.

“faster el- faster!!” you try to manage to tell her.

“faster huh?” Ellie says as she just slows her pace of her fingers brushing against that sweet spot of yours.

“please ellie!!” you beg for her to go faster as she just slows down again and again.

“i didnt say you’d get a good time Baby, this is your punishment, as deserved.”

“please.. ill be good Ellie- never gonna be m-mean with you ever” you faked promised her, just needed to tell her whatever she wanted to hear.

“yeah? you’d do this for me, angel?” Ellie asks as shes at only one finger, completely ruining you. completely making you cry for more- needing more.

“id do anything- just please fuck me ellie, fuck me.”

-

2 days after this huge mistake. You and Ellie started to do this kind of thing all the time. She’d piss you off, you’d be mad, she’d become madder for something she made you mad at- and would finish as sex. the only way you two did work out with.

she made you feel so good and you made her feel better.

This was unhealthy, but she was so addictive.

she’d come home in the middle of the night- wouldnt care if you were deep asleep or had a party- she’d take care of that pussy no matter what. Her songs would be about you two relationships.

Everyone liked it.

and you were happy you had such a big impact that she wrote- and sang about you.

But she didnt see you that pretty- you were her fucking toy.

14:01 : why the fuck did you say that i was toxic in your song?

15:56 : because you are.

15:59 : fuck you els

16:01 : you wish <3

16:01 : you’re the toxic one in our relationship

16:30 : 💀💀 hell nah

16:31 : Ellie how many times did you cheat on me?

17:23 : babe, we were on break how many times do i get to tell you that?

17:23 : anyways i gtg ill see you tonight ;)

She wasnt easy and you werent either.

but whatever, she has become way more famous than ever.

she’d send you those pictures before a show, trying to make you come to one (which you did but didnt tell her).

“does that feel good els?” you say as your face was in between her thighs, on your knees just like how she loved you like that.

“fuck babe dont stop!!” Ellie would tell you into a soft tone, not so much like that little ‘dominant’ cover she’s making everyone believe she was. she was always the one screaming your name over and over.

she then would make you see heaven with her cock filling you up, camera in one hand and the other one on your breast. She’d look at it all the time, rolling circles on her clit whenever she missed you and you blocked her so she couldnt ask you for any nudes- she has better, she could literally see you in action getting fucked by her.

she loved you, that was why she was so fucked up at showing it.

and you just were getting revenge for how she made you feel.

But in a way you two belonged together.

But she’d still use you for your amazing body and how good your tongue felt against her cunt.

you were her little stress reliever. (you’d let her do whatever she wanted to you- you’d just never tell her that)

request are open 💋

[stychu-stych]

I know that by definition we will probably never get anything out of the "not meant for social media" narilamb pile, but that doesn't mean Im not deadly curious about it, like I want to know so bad it makes me look stupid

Plus I'll forever wander how bad it is. Is it just too embarrassing to share? Is it 'mildly bad and insane, but not enough to not have at least 10 to 20 different fics on AO3 with those same hcs' bad? Is it 'so bad that you CAN'T find it on AO3 of all places' bad? Secret kink you don't want to share with the internet (very valid tbh)? Secret third (technically fifth) thing??? I want to knooooow /hj /sillygoofy

Dhdhdhhd that post is kinda old, I put it on my tumblr when I was more afraid of posting things on the internet. Especially when a lot of people started to follow me in a very short period of time. Everytime I posted something more gore-ish or suggestive I've got reported and sometimes my posts were deleted (mostly on tiktok and instagram). I still don't know if that was just one person doing that or bunch of them, or I was some algorithm lottery winner djdbhdh Maybe people expected something different looking at my artstyle (I know it can be described as "cute") and they were mad when I started posting something else? Idk idc really but it was pain in the ass

I also heard a couple of times from not anonymous people that if I create something about toxic relationships (arts, headcanons etc.) that means I support this kind of behavior. Or "romanticize" is a better word. Some of them changed their mind and apologized so we're good now but still I've received so many of comments like this that I started to carefully select what I want to put on the internet and what I want to put into the closet

But it's better now, I'm not that scared of social media like I used to be, I'm also on therapy and it's going great (not only but mostly because of my growing visibility on social media that was scary for me at that time. Never really talked about that with anyone outside my close friends, this is the first time I'm talking about it publicly. Also don't worry, I'm getting better now 💖)

My headcanons are mostly about narilamb relationship that is super toxic, I'm just really into psychology, emotions and why people behave in some certain way. About hurting each other, being jealous, manipulating and controlling. I just like to analyze why brain can work like that and what has to happen for someone to make them act like that. And I like to put all of that in fictional characters

So yeah, now I think that my headcanons aren't that bad, people are just assholes jdbdhdh I'll probably post more about my Narilamb relationship, I just need to find some straight to write it *sob* And I'm not the strongest soldier if we talk about writing, especially in english sjdhdh but I'll try my best 💪

[isabeauwolf]

After writing for him multiple times myself 💙🤭🫣

Guess this is my boyfriend Dabi head canons (Of course, I'm always late 🤣 Whoops) SFW Edition

(Please excuse, if these are out of order 🫣 I'm trying to remember everything on the spot)

💙 Dabi would be the yandere and tsundere boyfriend combo. (You can't change my mind!)

💙 He would be mean and bully you, call you weak; it's the only example he's had given who his father.

💙 Would contradict himself by searching for you whenever you are in a room together. Saying it was to make sure you didn't run off or do something stupid. That's on the surface, but internally, he's fearing you would run away from him, abandon him; being one of those "overly romanticized villain chasers" and flee when he becomes villainous, cold, ruthless and his more feral nature pokes its ugly head.

💙Controlling, selfish, manipulative, easily jealous and hiding his true feelings. Blaming you for making him love you or any other feelings you've dragged out of him, long sense buried; the lost embers of his humanity.

💙 When you stay, stare into his eyes; actually, look at him and not through him. It's when he falters and his breath hitches in his burnt lungs and his blacked heart skips. It makes him want to tease and bully you harder, see you flustering and blushing cutely just for him.

💙 Anyone flirts with you? Tries to take you away from him; he'd burn them to ashes without a second thought or after following them, giving them a shake down, a scare and then burn'em.

💙 Put a tracker on your phone or person, so he knows where you are at all times; hell, a microchip. Whichever comes to mind first.

💙 Would absolutely hate when handfreak sends you on missions alone; he'd rather be paired with you like the not so secret overly protective and stubborn jackass that he is.

💙 Give you pet names: baby, spitfire, cry baby, my love; princess, doll

💙 If you come back to him or The Hideout injured. He's seeing red, he's furious; azure blues glaring as he assessing every inch of you for injuries. He kept telling himself he shouldn't care. Shouldn't waste his time. And yet, he does. He does and he hates it, it's annoying. Then when he doesn't see that annoying, happy go lucky smile on your dopey face, you hurt, in pain, bleeding and trying to shrug it off; he's mad at himself for allowing some nameless villain wannabe to hurt you. His doll. His partner. His lover. He feels his body heat up, his quirk thrumming, boiling in his veins, hands twitch as the muscles in his neck tightens and body tenses, his jaw grinds.

💙 With only a few simple words, he drags you away from the others and shoves you into his room. Tells you to sit on his bed as the black-haired flame villain tries to calm himself as he half saunters and half fast walks into his bathroom and comes back with a med kid. "Show me." He's not asking, it's a command. "And be quick about it, doll." You do as you are told, turning and showing him your side. His half-lidded gaze widens when he notices all of the scares on your back. His anger and rage rise higher, nearly during the kit into cinders.

💙 When you call his Villain name he snaps out of it. Releasing a hard explain of exasperation through his nose as he gets to work as you explain what happened. He tries to act nonchalant, tries not to giveaway that he's listening, focusing on every detail: your attacker, where you were and what they looked like as you try not to break down and cry. You bite your bottom lip, your body trembling as he finishes the last of covering your wounds, whispering that you were sorry for being a burden, both to him and The League.

💙 He hates it. He hates how much your words hurt him, affect and makes his heart hurt, bashing yourself as memories of his former self, Touya Todoroki, the lingering phantom and shadows resurfacing. Hitting hard as if you had turned around and physically struck him. Dabi surprises himself, hesitantly and awkwardly pulling you into his embrace; being mindful of your wound as you finally breakdown, openingly crying and sobbing into his chest and his shirt. Clinging onto him as he holds you.

💙 He remains there until your tears have dried, rubbing his large heated hands into your hair or on your back, in small circles. He mentally curses himself for the old muscle memory of helping and holding his younger siblings, his humanity coming back to him. He supposed he could let this slide, a one-time thing, he tells himself.

💙 Yes, Dabi's decided that once you are asleep, he'll avenge you himself. He felt excitement bubbling as he felt inwardly giddy, the thrill of the hunt, the chase, the thought of seeing that low level, low life thug screaming, whimpering and howling in pain, kneeling on the ground underneath his boot heel and begging for mercy when they didn't give you any. Didn't stop when you pleaded, tears streaming down your face, crying for help, for mercy, for him, your friends; knowing a Hero wouldn't come.

💙 After you were asleep and tucked into his bed. Dabi was surprised when Toga, Twice, Mister and Shigaraki were waiting for him outside. Kurogiri and Magne decided to stay and protect you back at the hideout. The rest of The League followed him, stalking like thieves in the night until they found the person who'd hurt you. It was easy to find them. They were bragging and gloating about what they had done; saying The LOV was a pack of weaklings. It is more personal now, both their pride and for avenging you. The group of Villains swarmed on your attacker like a pack of ravenous jackals, demonic angels of vengeance, all teeth, glee and madness.

💙 Who knew that you made The League of Villains, a group of crazies and outcasts bond and grow closer? You may be Dabi's partner, but you were a part of their found family. It was a glorious bonding experience.

More fluff and sweet moments Dabi "pretends" not to notice~

💙 The half-awake and half asleep, dopey smile you give him as he hands you coffee makes his blacked and charcoaled heart melt. He feels his mismatched lips quirk into a ghost of a smile.

💙 Deny it all he wants, but he loves when you cuddle against him in the middle of the night. Once or twice, okay, a handful of times, he's pulled you into his side or onto his chest, or nuzzles his face into your chest, savoring your warmth, your steady breathing. Knew if he did this while you two were awake, you'd tease him.

Your first I love you's and kisses

💙 When he finally admits that he loves you, it's awkward and impulsive. He'd been wanting to tell you. Said in his head over and over again until you called his name and it slipped out, "I love you, Y/n." Your eyes widen, mouth falling open and he knew he'd messed up and said it too soon! He tries to play it off, but you don't buy it. He flounders, blushing harder against his semi-normal and burnt skin as your lips curl into a smile, batting your pretty lashes at him and ask coyly, "You love me?"

💙 He bites the inside of his cheek and grumbles, "What of it? What if I do? So what, doll?" His heartbeat thunders hard against his ribcage as he waits for your answer. Your rejection. He stomach twitching in knots as his anxiety flares and he hates it. What were you doing to him?!

💙 Your smile widens, it's bright and beaming as you hug him when he becomes further embarrassed and glances away. "Good." You lean on your tiptoes and kisses his heated, scarred and stapled cheek. "I love you too, Dabi." You surprised him. You gently cup his cheek, turning his head towards yours and kissing him, his lips against yours. You. You stole his first kiss?! Stole so many of his firsts. His eyes widened, his breath hitches and leaves his lungs as you pull away; a cute noticeable blush creeping across your face. "Sorry, it was a heat of the moment kind of thing." You muttered shyly.

💙 He blinked, turquoise eyes dazed until he inwardly shook himself. His jaw twitches, lips curling into a smug smirk, filled with amusement and mischief sparkling behind his azure blues orbs. "Well, look who grew bold today?" He hums.

💙 Your face turns redder as you bury your face into his chest. "Shut up. If I didn't kiss you first you wouldn't do it." Your voice is muffled by his clothes, but he hears you. Oh. Oh, no. Now you've done it. You've challenged him.

💙 Oh? So you want his fire? His passion? His all consuming embers and hellfire. He had been holding himself back. He didn't want you to run away and take his time. But if you challenge him like that. The games has changed. You've unknowingly lit the coals underneath him and his competitive nature. Dabi's smirk widens into something wolfish and feral, hungry as both of his large, warm hands cradle the side of your face and force you to meet his gaze. "Is that a challenge, doll?" He teases. He's not angry. Far from it, he's secretly happy that you wanted to kiss him. Wanted him as much as he wanted you. "You wanna kiss me? C'mon don't grow shy on me now."

💙 You nod your head, raising your hands to cover his. Not to push him away. No. You skate your palms along his skin, touch featherily light and inch your hands along his firearms, his shoulders and behind his neck, pressing yourself closer, chest to chest and wrapping your hands behind his head.

💙 Dabi chuckles. "Words, doll." Something dark and amused, dangerous as he tries to ignore his traitorous heart fluttering. "Use your words." He encourages, trying to coax more of your stubbornness he's fond of. It's there. He notices your sass and grit forming on your face through the flustered expression and shyness. There you are. He thought inwardly chuckling to himself. My courageous doll. My spitfire. My doll. All mine.

💙 You lick your lips, his blues follows, then flickers back to your eyes. "Yes and what if I do want to kiss you?" You ask back. Something soft. Waiting. Testing the waters. Teasing. Challenging.

💙 Dabi tilts his head. "Then whatcha waiting for? You want a kiss? My fire?" He lowers, hovering over you, caging you against him and the wall, heated hands leaving your face to travel to the back of your head and the other behind the small of your back. "Think you can handle me?" He whispers. Excitement, and twinge of desire growing. "I don't like doin' shit half-assed, pretty baby."

💙 There is it. The smirk curling along your own lips. "As long as you don't chicken out, Dabi." There's the sassy little thing that drew him in and stole his heart.

💙 That earns you a laugh, low and raspy, playful. "Don't regret your choices when you get burned." He takes initiative and control this time. Bringing you into a soft and tender kiss, once again contradicting himself. It doesn't last long. He moves his lips along your own, it's awkward and unsure, then grows more raw, heated, passionate and all consuming, possessive as he pours all of his twisted, mixed-up feelings into it. Trying to tell you without words, his affection for you. How much you make him ache. How much you make him burn and yearn for more. More of your kisses, more of your touches, more of your love and affection, he wants everything you have to give. Growing more greedier as his breaths mingle with your own before finally pulling away. "I'm far from satisfied, baby." He pants, gasping for air as he pulls you back for another kiss. "You'll let me, won't you?" He whispers, breathlessly, his lips tingling as he shivers. Wondering what other feelings and emotions you will brag out of him. "You want another." He kisses you, a light peck. "Another." He does it again. "And another." He hums, chuckling when you nod your head, gasping and knees buckled as you cling onto him.

💙 He continues to tease you in between heated kisses. If even you try to stop him now, he doesn't know, if he could let you go now. You've awakened the greedy, touch and love starved beast caged and chained for too long. Deprived of affection, acceptance, warmth and the embers are only scorching higher, escalating, spreading and isn't stopping.

💙 Only on the rare occasion when you two are alone he would smother you, cling onto you, silently beg for your attention like the love and touch starved, dramatic man baby that he is. Secretly spoil you with stuff he's stolen and completely deny it was from him.

(If I could do a steamy, NSFW Editon and you wanna be a part of the taglist or any of my other Dabi fanfics, let me know, my lovelies!)

Okay, I lied. I had to through in some sprinkles of spice in there! I couldn't help it! It was too perfect not to. X////x

[barblaz-arts]

Ok I lied, one more Hazbin character ask.🙏

Thoughts on Lucifer, Carmilla, Rosie, and Adam?

Lucifer

I love love love him. Terrible dad tho! Lmfaoo

Genuinely think Charlie let him off the hook too easy for all the neglect imo. It's kinda weird how most of the fandom suddenly thinks he's a great dad. He's okay at best, tbh. Just because he has a gorgeous singing voice(Jeremy Jordan is the fuckin BEST man) and a silly personality doesn't mean everything's swell. I hope the second season further tackles this. I remember someone saying before that Lucifer resembled a dad who accidentally had a baby as a teen and doesn't actually know how to be a father and I haven't forgotten about how accurate that is. Still tho! Great character! I'm not even exactly mad about him being popular, just a little bothered by how he's viewed by most people. I hope the show has him do more than sing a musical number to EARN Charlie's forgiveness

Carmilla

I love her, even if the way her character is written is a little, um, how do I say it? Weird? Doesn't make sense sometimes.

Like how she's a demon Overlord who sells weapons but has a line that goes "I always thought that I would keep blood off my face". So does that mean she's never killed anyone before? Or maybe she swore off killing at some point? If she's only ever taken a life to protect her daughters, what sin did she commit to get her to end up in Hell, with her daughters no less. I have my speculations, but with how little we know about her, speculations don't change the fact that Carmilla is a strangely written character. She has some moments that are just questionable choices from the writers too. Like, how they had Carmilla point out how obvious Vaggie's nature is, making Charlie's feelings of betrayal look a little stupid on Charlie's part. Or how Carmilla sang to Vaggie that she should focus on love and not revenge, even though all Vaggie has ever thought about is protecting Charlie while never showing any signs of even thinking about getting back at Lute. Such a strange character. I hope she makes more sense next season when we get to see more of her, because I truly do love her. If this is never tackled though and I just happen to be overthinking, it's fine. I still like her anyways.

Rosie

A really sweet lady for a, um, cannibal. I can never get behind the fact that she and the other characters eat people RAW though! No matter how beautiful she is, the hotness factor is knocked down as long as you don't clean, cook, and season your food, maam. Nasty.

I hope we see more of her relationship with Charlie though. People keep talking about how Carmilla and Vaggie are similar, but I feel we should talk about her similarities with Charlie too. Throughout the show Charlie is ridiculed and given no respect by her people because of her sweet nature and jolly disposition, but here Rosie is being all those things and yet has a whole town to lead! I hope them meeting is set up to have Charlie learn even more from her.

Adam

Oh man he vexes me lol I don't completely hate him, because he has some funny moments, and kickass songs, and the OG Broadway Beetlejuice voices him, but he's suuuuuch an asshooooole. He's not even the kind of villain that you still like to see and romanticize even when he's evil. At least to me. I think my brother explained accurately why. He hates Adam in fact, and that's because his attitude and personality is too accurate to incels that you can see in real life. I enjoyed him as the first season's villain, but I do NOT want him coming back somehow as a sinner like others want. I want him to stay dead. It's Lute's turn to be the new big bad. I still have Pentious if I want more Alex Brightman anyway.

[happy-heartcore]

Oh boy, it’s that time again

(Haven’t done it much here but when a big piece of media comes out, you usually get a hyperfixated ramble post right after I finish it and a deep dive a day later. This is the deep dive lol)

Warnings: discussion of abuse and neglect, solitary confinement, and ptsd/childhood trauma. And ofc spoilers for WOTFI 2024 and just smg4 in general

Oh yeah and since I’m tagging this as selfship, the selfship stuff is at the bottom of yall want to just skip to that lol

I think I need to preface this by saying I still loved literally all of the WOTFI besides the ending. The song was freaking awesome (I’ll get into that later), the challenges were perfect, the clown designs for the main cast were amazing, etc. I’m just trying to get the negativity out first lol

But yeah ok, gotta get the elephant in the room out of the way first: what the trio chose to do with Puzzles was absolutely awful.

I was mostly shocked that Meggy seemed just totally ok with it considering SHE JUST SAW FIRSTHAND HOW ABUSED PUZZLES WAS??? She literally met his child self and saw how weary he was, how he flinched away from her touch like those are clear signs of abuse and it seems like Meggy should’ve known that

So why the frick didn’t she object? Mario is always doing stupid crap so that makes sense, but you would think Meggy or even SMG4 would do something???

But why is it abuse, you ask? Well, Puzzles has one major issue, and that’s that he has no friends. And then Meggy became friends with his child self, therefore logically setting him on the path to redemption. But obviously Puzzles has done some awful crap and should’ve been punished in some way, maybe something like having to stay exclusively in the showgrounds for a while until he shows improvement, with the gang there to support him (just came up with that off the top of my head lol). But you know what they decided was the best possible punishment for this man? Solitary freaking confinement. The punishment notorious for literally causing prisoners to go insane due to lack of interaction. And you just had to give that specific punishment to a man WHO LOST HIS FREAKING MIND AS A CHILD DUE TO LACK OF INTERACTION?? DO YALL SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS???

I’m not even mad that they did that, obviously it’s wrong but these are fictional characters making that decision, and characters can be misguided. You can have characters that literally violate everything on a basic dni list or something, characters can be evil. My issue is when it is glorified or romanticized. And that’s pretty much exactly what they’re doing here

Another line that came out of Meggy’s mouth that really hurt me was when she said that maybe he’d get better in there, stop being so obsessed with ratings…. is she stupid? The whole reason why this all started is because Puzzles was an abused child with no friends who basically hyperfixated on wanting to fulfill his dream of running a park (and later tv production as well) but was shut down by his father and isolated himself with a tv all day. Meggy had just managed to heal his inner child and see the good in him. And then they act like finally giving him what he needs to heal and then VIOLENTLY RIPPING IT AWAY FROM HIM AND LOCKING HIM IN A ROOM (MIGHT I ADD, LIKE HE DID AS A CHILD DUE TO TRUAMA, THERE IS NO WAY THIS ISNT BRINGING UP SOME GENUINE PTSD FROM HIM) IS GOING TO JUST MAGICALLY FIX HIM??? NO! AND THERE IS ZERO INDICATION IN THE MOVIE, NOT EVEN A HINT, THAT THE TRIO MIGHT BE IN THE WRONG.

I’m sorry, but this is abuse and also extreme neglect of what Puzzles needed to change.

And also, Puzzles being a villain doesn’t make any of this ok. Didn’t we already learn that with SMG3?? Villains that have clear issues like this can be reformed over time, it just takes work. But no, apparently they’re not gonna do that

Genuinely speaking: if they wanted betrayal via Mario, they should’ve had him just straight up kill Puzzles or something right then and there. Or keep the original story but have the others seem horrified of what Mario did.

Also that scene really should’ve been given more time to breathe, I know this is the haha funny Mario spaghetti show but that doesn’t excuse going from villain being likely reformed to villain being arrested and the park exploding in a matter of 5 god dang seconds. Sure that would’ve been funny if this was some random side character or minor reoccurring villain, but this was literally the man behind 3-4 arcs and the star of 2 more, and a clear fan favorite character. Even if he wasn’t gonna die, they should’ve treated it like Axol or One Shot Wren, where both the audience and characters are given time to mourn and see what was happening, see character reactions, all of that. Even a stupid line from a couple of the police officers would’ve worked perfectly. Just time to process what the frick just happened.

My only other issue besides, well, all that lmao, is that the actual movie was just nothing like the trailer, like there were scenes exclusively in the trailer and that felt really weird to me

Ok, negativity out of the way now :D

The song!!! I was kinda hoping for a rap but yeah this fit way better lol, haven’t seen anybody talk about it but the puzzles design with just the head and hands is freaking epic omgggg

Also I loved how the parts sung by the trio are kinda more akin to children’s movie songs (describing exactly what’s happening on screen, the sad “I know there’s good in you” part, etc) and then Puzzle’s parts are just hahaha I’m gonna freaking turn your corpses into gushing mounds of blood-

Also GGRRRR I WANT TO DRAW THE CLOWN DESIGNS SO BADDDD!!! THEYRE SO DANG COOL!!!

And also UGHHH THE MERCHHH I WANT IT SO BAD BUT IM B R O K E 😭

The challenges were also really fitting, didn’t see any users I recognized but those that got in were perfect

And no SMG34 fuel sadly :(, eh can’t always get the gay old men lol, maybe next time

And yeah this is my selfship blog so gotta let a few of the demons out:

THE FREAKING FACE HE MADE BEFORE ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!! IGNORING WHAT HAPPEN AFTER HE WAS SO GOD DANG CUTE AND I JUST WANTED TO HUG HIM AND CUDDLE HIM GRGGRGRGR HES SO DANG SILLY-

Anddd that’s about it! This post will probably get like, 2 notes but who tf cares!! I just needed to ramble a lot lol

[katshuya]

This was the most clever answer they could have come up with to me saying that Dragonstone was never a safe place from the Targaryen king who owned it.

And I said it because they argued that Rhaegar kept Elia and her children in Dragonstone on purpose to keep them safe and how this means he had no hand in what happened to them yet in this reply they admit that these guards can not disobey Aerys. So where is the safety they proclaimed in what they said? In what Rhaegar did? Or is it going to be another he couldn't anticipate that his mad daddy who disliked his wife and children would do something?

Genuine question. Are Rhaelya's shippers really that stupid? or do they have no choice but to act stupid so they can still feel good about this ship while ignoring facing the truth?

Just what Dornish character was mentioned to be agreeable to their spouse cheating on them? Name one.

Not just Dornish, but even any Westerosi woman wouldn't like it even when she hated her husband.

Of course they wouldn't mind Elia cheating on Rhaegar. It would serve their awful ship. They would have used that against her. The typical wanton Dornish woman that doesn't suit Rhaegar's more superior monogamous slef and his oh so deep love and loyalty to one woman for life. True love, even in death.

They need Elia to be like this.

And I'm not sure what kind of superhuman power you think Jaime had to stop the mad king and stand against all of his guards and Tywin's men but he didn't have any. He couldn't have protected Elia.

The only way for Elia to be safe with the children was to get her out and far away from Aerys. In other words Dorne.

Why didn't he I wonder?

I'm sure they would answer again that Rhaegar couldn't anticipate his daddy would do this but what more did he need to think something bad even if not a rebellion would happen?

Did he expect Aerys to do nothing?

That Rickard, Brandon, Ned and Robert would do nothing to get the girl back?

That there will be no interaction between these sides?

Really?

And in case they are as stupid as they like to make themselves look, arranged marriages aren't what we are protecting. It's the women in them.

Elia gets nothing from Rhaegar cheating on her nor from her cheating on him but hurt and danger. He was the freaking heir to the throne. The next king. You think he would tell her to: go ahead and have a lover and risk the respect the lords have for me and the support I need in this delicate, dangerous situation? Be real now.

If the arranged marriage was between your prince charming and Lyanna, you would be the first to support it. Otherwise, why are there fanfictons about it? You people yourselves romanticize it as long as it involves Lyanna stark the not like other girls.

About how Rhaegar was almost wed to Elia only because he respected his mother's wish for him to wed her friend's daughter but then they both found out about how she has a lover and how open to she is to having multiple partners which disapoint Rhaella and Rhaegar get his chance to arrange his marriage to Lyanna who by the way didn't want him but he discovered she was a greenseer and betrothed her to him against her will. In the end, they fall in love. Here it's not so bad to have a slowburn romance as long as it's not Elia.

In my very first post on this app, I mentioned that whenever I talk to one of them, they end up running away or deleting the comments and how I regreted not taking a screenshot.

And they still replied to me after promising not to waste time.

Just look at the very smart arguments they give.

Stupidity is ugly, my friends. Do not claim it even if it helps you and soothe your feelings.

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

If you think of it, romanticizing the catacomb scene is hilarious.

The scene: *happens*

Katara about the scene: Zuko seemed like a normal human person there so I felt sorry for him, and yet he betrayed me, so now I am really hurt and mad.

Zuko about the scene: This girl who is always with the avatar had some special water and is able to heal, so maybe the avatar is still alive and what if my father will know that I didn’t kill the avatar…

*Later, in the Western Air Temple*

Katara: I won’t trust you after you betrayed me in the catacombs!

Zuko: *doesn’t seem to understand what she’s talking about at all*

*Later yet*

Zuko: Why the hell you still don’t like me?!

Katara: Because you betrayed me in the catacombs under Ba Sing Se!

Zuko: Sokka, help, I don’t understand why your sister hates me so much.

Katara: The catacombs! Remember!

Zuko: Maybe she’s actually angry with someone else and not me?

Katara: No, I am angry because of the things that YOU did!

Zuko: She was saying something about her mother in the catacombs…

Katara: Finally!

Zuko: Maybe she’ll like me if I help her kill that someone who killed her mother?

Katara: No! I never expressed any desire to kill anyone, even a monster like him! Maybe you can start with “I’m sorry” instead?! I know you are capable of saying this!

Zuko: Yup. That’s what I’ll do, offer her a revenge killing trip. Seems like a flawless plan.

Katara: You are not going to apologize for what you did in the catacombs ever, are you?

Zuko: What catacombs?

Ah, yes, such a romantic moment it was…

Sorry if my sense of humor is lame.

To be fair, Katara DID have a moment when all the trauma caught up with her and made her mad enough to forget she's not a blood-thirsty killer who believes in an eye for an eye, but yeah, it's weird Zutarians think that's "Zuko allowing her to be herself" and not "Zuko not realizing that this is not how Katara acts because he simply doesn't know a damn thing about her yet."

And I am FOREVER mad that the writers pulled that cowardly shit of "Oh, Katara was projecting her anger from what happened to her mom onto poor Zuko." Fuck off, he made her feel stupid for showing him compassion, got her best friend killed, then sent an assassin after her group. She had PLENTY of reasons to be mad at him. It's okay if a life-changing field trip and working together makes her look past it and genuinely become his friend, but don't fucking lie to me. I know what I saw.

[freakenomenon]

Okay I actually thought it was you sending that stuff. It comes off as more ‘you’re not allowed to ship this stuff because tedellen is actually abusive and you’re choosing the romanticised bad version’ idk. It does not come off as an actual tedellen shipper it’s just a kinda valid point on how the fandom treats the whole thing. I guess I am problematic for agreeing but you’ve gone off at people for disagreeing with you that’s why I thought

some of you guys really have to learn to articulate your points in ways that I can understand because I literally just. Cannot read this.

the most I can really. gather is that you think I go off on people for disagreeing with me when the only times I can say ive gotten angry about something like that is ?? Never. Actually

if you count me saying curse words as going off than I dunno. I grew up in a household and around other people who used curse words like the word the, im also just naturally intimidating to most because of this. but im not the fucking messiah man

im a teenager on tumblr who says things. and obviously I don't endorse harassment of people who ship things, that's just stupid and it makes no sense. thinking that certain aspects of fandom culture are problematic and actively wanting people to seek out shippers and bash their brains in are very different practices.

also, nobody is "not allowed to ship" anything. again, i do think shipping certain things does warrant moral questioning.

( i don't care, if you think minor x adult is hot you are a pedophile. if you think children are attractive in ANY context, you are a pedophile. )

and i do think that the popularization of IHNMAIMS back in 2024 did bring out a lot of the romanticization of AMs abuse toward ted. which is a problem. but it doesn't give people an excuse to harass random tedarm artists they don't even know because "this ship bad, this ship good!" which, I don't mean to be rude. is basically what you're trying to say, with more words.

if they wanted to make a point about how the fandom treats tedellen vs tedam, why wouldn't they make their own post. like, what I do? I don't go out pointing fingers, most of the time I don't have to considering it is a majority. but even if they did have a good point, or were trying to make a good point. the way they're plucking people out of crowds to scold them is just. stupid. really stupid.

id like to say, im not at all mad at you. i like typing, i like complaining, i like writing. i like getting asks. but being portrayed as someone who would do something like that is just. not okay for me.

this goes for anyone reading this too. while i do rant and yell and complain alot, i don't ever want to see my audience, meager as it is, harassing people or spitting at the feet of artists who may not even be contributors to the problems i spout and complain about.

that's not okay, and in typical me fashion. I do think DEFINITELY leads to real life consequences when that behavior is normalized. it's counterproductive, and again. Stupid.

edit; again, i don't mean to offend you at all anon, and you can ignore this if you so desire, as you could ignore all my posts. but yes, it is problematic to agree with harassment. especially since whatever point they're trying to make is, based off of... harassment.

[dandelionjack]

there is a lot of grieving involved in realising you’ve been a radlib this whole time and embracing actual marxism. mainly grieving for all the media you’ve enjoyed and been a fan of, particularly when you’re on the spectrum so media is your predominant way of interacting with the world.

it’s all fascist, all of it, all fantasy is. any story that features people with magical powers that elevate them above the populace and which they can use to heal or harm? any story that features an Exceptional Individual Who Can Change History Because They’re So Awesome/Tragic/Weird? fascist. any story that describes an inherent characteristic possessed by a race of mythical creatures? fascist.

it’s all fascist, all romanticism is. individuality in general, the belief that i’m somehow special because i’m autistic, that i’ve been sent here for a purpose, that all of this is leading up to some grand narrative — a product of liberal brainwashing. any story with a protagonist who significantly alters events, basically. any Chosen One — yes, even anti-chosenone stories like Dune. any superhero. any wizard. any Doctor Who.

all mysticism is. the belief that manifestation/thinking hard enough/casting spells/drawing sigils/whatever can change reality ignores socioeconomic factors and the thousand hidden background events constantly shaping every second of our lives. all magic(k) is at best a distraction or escapism and at worst a system of false consciousness that blames immaterial factors for people’s misfortune. chaos magick is the ultimate extension of the neoliberal mindset

there is no art created under capitalism that is not a commodity designed to make more profit. that’s it, that’s all Art is. especially pop music (which includes rock, punk, emo, goth, any subculture basically, jazz, and also classical too sorry adorno), movies and TV, but books as well. there is literally no escaping capitalist realism, no escaping the spectacle

all individual rebellion, all subculture, is liberal at its core. if you call yourself goth you’re making yourself a marketable product. in fact any stable identity-categories turn you into a subject of advertising.

everything is ideology. there is no art, there is only production. “b-but i make my own choices! i create what i want to see!” haha. buddy. you think your desires aren’t entirely contingent on the social milieu which indoctrinated you? you think you’re inventing something new? you think you’re “being yourself”? that “self” is a subject to be marketed to. byung chul-han writes that the word subject itself is a cognate of subjugation — the individual that considers themselves sovereign is a perfect slave to capitalism

this post is what radicalised me. i realised i fit into at least 9 of those categories (tchotchke collector, fandom devotee, cinephile, witch, member of an “alternative” music/fashion based subculture, hipster, cultured consumer, ethical porn proponent, anti-ai luddite) and initially i got mad as hell but having examined everything and done some reading i realised OP is probably right. we’re all treatlers

i don’t know how to deal with this though. my entire identity, sense of self (bourgeois concepts in of themselves) were based on some of the above labels and/or hobbies, interests, values. i literally have to rebuild myself from scratch

also they/them pronouns are probably unmaterialist too. hell, everything i am is inherently radlib. i don’t know what to do, i’m a failure to the revolution and i need to just kill myself since committing unorganised acts of violence against the state is infantile adventurism but no vanguard party org would accept me because i’m a slow reader and i’m stupid and sensitive and well all of the above. there is no hope for me in this world or the next one they are building

i’d say i probably need therapy to sort all of this out but therapy is a placating/pacifying mechanism invented by the bourgeoisie to suppress our justified feelings of rage and grief at the state of the world. being happy as a first-worlder at the expense of orphans in palestine or children in cobalt mines in the congo is actually unethical. so no, actually, i can’t go to a liberal therapist to sort this out, i deserve to implode and die

[algumaideia]

Omg this makes me so mad.

A Brazilian travel influencer went to Cuba and she showed some nice stuff there some interisting things, stuff the Brazilian people normally don't see or talk about Cuba right

Then two Cuban influencers who came to Brasil started trash talking her for like romanticizing the poverty and dictatorship and how better Cuba was before you know when they were USA brothel like how dare her not only say bad dhit about Cuba

Anyway now a new Brazilian travel influencer went to Cuba and she is like guys look at the poverty guys look at the misery guys this place is bad guys I'm sooooo different from other travel influencers I show the reality guys Cuba is horrible

And it makes me so mad specially because the deal of the first Brazilian influencer is going to countries and being like I know we have this and this prejudice and bad perception about x country but look the nice and interisting things it is not only the bad things the news shows to us and maybe the bad things are even wrong

People are stupid and it makes me mad

[honeyhonest]

I agree w everyone here saying that it's so unfair that ppl in the fandom talks bad about wanting x readers/imagines/yumeships with adult characters like. I want to fuck Lilia/Trein/Crewel/etc and I want it to be an age difference relationship. I'm 23

AND WHAT

Like ppl are so weird about (fictional) big age gap relationships. Lilia won't come out of the game to influence and manipulate me??? (Rather I would manipulate him lmao #relationshipgoals)

As if most of the fandom weren't grown adults who can actually pay the gacha system if they wanted

oh I'm with you

I'm very "not my circus, not my monkeys" about things online, but if a, oh, let's say a sixteen year old, was shipping their yuusona, also sixteen, with lilia, I could understand why people would not like that. it's uncomfortable, and it paints an unflattering picture of the character

being an adult, in your twenties, and liking older characters is vehemently different, at least to me. literally no one should get offended at this. it's all "old man this, old man that!" until someone actually wants an old man and then it's grooming and abuse (the way this word gets thrown around so casually irks me) and again, it happens so much between OTHER ADULTS. if a fifteen year old got mad and told me I shouldn't be shipping with older characters I'd not really care, because I have seniority + wisdom and I don't take romantic advice from someone who was born in 2010

it's just that these are people my age and older, who get on their high horses and start waving around their morality flags. "romanticizing age gaps" yes I am. I've had jobs. I've done taxes. I know all of your brains have been rotted by tiktok but I am capable of making big girl decisions. I don't believe in this "ooooh I'm a weak stupid little teenage girl in her 20s! look at me teehee I can't work I'm too girl stupid! brains don't develop until age 25!" thing

also they're not real. fictional. they is drawings. I'd shoot myself in the foot with a rusty nailgun before dating a real man in his 50s

[fryandleelasbigfling]

there's an argument that i see recurring in the futurama fandom -- i think it's a minority opinion but i've seen it across multiple platforms, from multiple people, and it very much annoys me so i'm making my lengthy counterargument. this will be ranty and i apologize.

the idea that fry and leela are toxic because "leela wanted him to change for her" is such a weird and even reductive way to not just view the ship, but relationships in general.

(this is a long post, because i have a lot of Feelings on the topic, so i'll put a readmore.)

first off leela has always liked fry. maybe not romantically (there's signs that she had a crush on him early on, but it didn't get serious til way down the line), but she related to him, took pity on him, and quit her job for him (which! was! illegal!) because he gave her the courage to do so. in the second episode, he also helps her see the beauty on the moon, something she used to take for granted. she has always seen potential in fry to inspire her and open her eye to new possibilities.

but she still has a lot of hang-ups about fry, leading into the "she needed him to change" thing. here's the thing about fry and leela: leela does not force fry to change, she inspires fry to change, because she believes he can change. bender and leela are the first ones to meet fry and understand his situation, his loneliness, the feeling you don't belong anywhere. the difference is that while bender often indulges fry's more immature and selfish traits, leela is more willing to protect fry's safety and call him out on his stupidity. for some reason (probably projection), people think this is abusive. yes, leela can be hard on him (so can the entire crew, but for some reason, people only get mad when it's the female lead being mean), but it's because she's his captain and his friend and his recklessness often puts himself and others in danger. "my three suns" and "brannigan begin again" both showcase how dangerous it can be if fry (and bender) don't have leela to reel them in.

and i think fry is aware of this, and feels bad about it, so as the series progresses, he tries more often to take command and help her out when he can (i.e. learning to fly the ship). there's also "parasites lost" where he decides he only wants to earn leela's affection if it comes entirely from him, and i've seen the argument that this proves leela only likes him if he changes, but a lot of what fry said were his true feelings, so it's really setting up that leela could be attracted to fry if fry could understand his own feelings well enough to articulate them with confidence (and not bring up his exes in the meantime, lmao). even in the most recent episode, he cleans up his apartment for leela's sake.

people sometimes compare leela to michelle. they're both forceful but lonely women who often take authority over fry. but the difference is that michelle doesn't really see value in fry beyond manipulating him to make herself feel better by comparison. i'd also like to bring up morgan, who explicitly romanticized fry being a lazy slob... and fry never really looks that happy about it! he goes along with it because he goes along with pretty much anything (he explicitly says he dated her because he was desperate), but a relationship where his worst habits are indulged isn't what he wants or needs. fry has spent his whole life being told he's worthless, and he's kind of accepted that, but leela sees his good heart and charm and she does want that for herself, but she's also honest about what stands in the way.

and here's a bit of a personal note: i know many people who relate to fry are neurodivergent. i am too! and it can hurt being seen as "immature" or feeling like you have to conform to neurotypical standards to be accepted. but you know what else sucks? wanting to be better, but not knowing how to be better, and not having any motivation to be better. leela was that motivation. i struggled for years believing i didn't need to be better because my mental health issues were so intrinsic to my identity, and accepting that i can be Myself but still be Healthy was very useful. i find a lot of the fry-leela plot very empowering, as i like to believe there's someone who will like my quirks but also push me in the right direction. leela thinks fry is silly and stupid, and she often strongly disagrees with his tastes, but she is endeared by his unique approach to love because of how genuine he is about it all (see: her love for his office supplies dinner in "fry and leela's big fling," and even the bit with the wine glasses in bender's big score).

fry knows leela is also lonely and miserable, but that she appreciates his company, to the point he believes "she'll never be happy without me" (a mindset he outgrows as it makes him unhealthily jealous and clingy). the entire point of bender's big score is that, as messed up as lars is, leela is attracted to a version of fry who better understands how to talk to her, and this experience helps her appreciate fry a lot more going forward as she truly sees he has the potential to be a good boyfriend. she just needed to see it detached from fry himself. and fry learns to let leela be happy even before he knows about lars' identity! he is capable of growth on his own because he hates seeing her upset!

as for why leela takes forever to commit to him... well, with his impulsivity issues, unintentional rudeness, questionable hygiene, and internalized sexism, he takes a while to be the kind of person she's willing to date. and she's not entitled to him! yes, it is annoying how flippant she can be (though that's also an issue with the writers not wanting to commit), and she absolutely sucks at communication. but if we can take fry's background into consideration here, we also need to take leela's into consideration. she grew up alone, bullied, neglected, repeatedly told she was unloved, and multiple times she trusted someone who said they loved her, only to be discarded once they got what they wanted from her (i.e. sex and labor). she is also terrified of being judged and thus puts a lot of weight on being successful and normal, with her relationships being an extension of that. "the cyber house rules" is all about how she wants to be with a man who makes her look good. this is a character flaw she overcomes as all these men of high status treat her like dirt and she realizes fry is the one who cares about her the most, and she doesn't have to compromise just to be taken seriously.

but fry is her best friend, the only one who really gets her (besides her parents), and she has a lot to lose if she dates him and it goes poorly, and she's too insecure to trust that she's worth it. which is why it's great that fry becomes a better person for her! she deserves to be treated with respect! and episodes like "fun on a bun" show that not only does fry change for her, he also helps her loosen up in turn, and let herself act more carefree and childish after having to grow up and conform to society so fast. "the impossible stream" also shows leela making an effort to be less judgmental, even if she worries fry could be in danger. so it is definitely not just fry who changes for this relationship.

generally i think people who hate leela and make her out to be so emotionally abusive are projecting something personal that isn't there and missing the scope of fry and leela's complex relationship, and it feels unfair. especially when other (male) characters who do the same things and worse (particularly bender) get a pass. she's far from perfect, and that makes her a great character, but she grows and learns, and so does fry -- because they want to learn and grow for each other's sake.

Hey, i am that one anon. Her and her idiotic followers started calling me racist but that is not true at all. It's actually ridiculous to say. I am like 10 shades darker than that imbecile (who is even whiter skin looking than the average white person even) and have experienced much more racism and hate for my skin, than she has ever received in her life. In no way i ever even hated her for her race of nationality, she said I was still "sending racists asks" while all I was saying in the second ask I send was basically this and how shameless and hypocrital she is for making up this false image of me when I am marginalized all to be in this "poor me" attitude.

I know people of many races and ethnicity including chinese and i have never been rude or demeaning towards them, at all. I get along with every person regarless of race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc, unless they are disgusting and depraved like her. I also hate her because she makes the characters extremely pale which was literally what i criticized.

She made fun of me for calling it "chinese beauty standards" (which is true, in east asia there is unfortunately this ridiculous and sad standard of paleness that is very toxic and many east asians criticize. This standard is connected to racism and colonialism, even classism) as if denying it, but then not much after that she says she will "chinese-fy" her w*ifu more of some shit. Like which is it then, are you stupid? You make fun of me then give me the reason? She even fails at that anyways. she uses such depraved japanese words (the worst ones, when they are very interesting ones, but she just uses the ones related to porn) and overall has this hentaislop obssesion. As you may know, Japan even invaded China in the past, and porn is technically illegal in China too, so I'd say this is not very patriotic. The point is, she just worsens and sexualizes everything, worst of both worlds style ?. I doubt national identity like that even matters to her much because she only cares about the whitewashed pedo incest rape porn.

I also find it massively hilarious, they hate on me for being "racist" (false) acting as moralists when they themselves are into all kinds of sexual violence and depravity. They are more bigoted with their degradation of children's bodies, misogynist objectification, promotion of rape culture (one staple of it is normalizing/romanticizing it) and incest, all things that apart from being bad on their own, they uphold patriarchy and oppression and are overall inmoral, much more inmoral than I could ever be.

She makes up this fake narrative in attempt to defend(victimize) herself because she doesn't have any good arguments. And her sheeple followers do the same. They just enjoy so much being a shitpile of evil and absolute worthless subhuman pedophiles (basically synonyms), which doesn't has any real justification or defense, and I suspect they know this so they just make up things to deflect it.

Most embarrassing thing they are all adults sexualizing a child, then getting mad at another minor for thinking they are disgusting, while also stupidly calling that minor racist!? Maybe if her shit-filled coconut of a skull wasn't so busy with fantasies of child molestation and incestous rape, she would realize how fucking stupid the shit she does and says is. And so are her followers. May all that scum eat shit and mass-kick the bucket soon.

Sorry for the late reply:

I did suspect she was making stuff up with that and that you weren't actually racist, and like a sane person, disliked her for all that horrible stuff... Thank you for explaining and clearing it out.

hey. I know this probably won’t help much, and you don’t even have to answer this if you don’t wish (I totally understand), but you are not alone. The b//frd stuff is genuinely stressing me out. It is literally everywhere. Not only that but people insisting and claiming it’s canon over and over again. I genuinely hate this ship with every fiber of my being so seeing it being shoved in my face over and over is just exhausting. I’ve quit going on many platforms for this sole reason, and I’m only still on tumblr because I can block tags and look at only blogs I follow (who post great content such as yours.) I felt stupid for this but it helps me that I’m not alone… I had a panic attack over this, too. I physically feel the anxiety after I see these posts over and over again. It’s making it hard for me to enjoy probably my favorite character in fiction ever (ford). So… yeah. I’m terrible at articulating my feelings sometimes, especially when they are a jumbled, anxiety riddled mess like this, but just know that there are some people out here who feel the same and know that romanizing their relationship is just… awful. Thank you for taking the time to read all this, and I do hope it’ll get better. At some point. It did help me to see I’m not alone in feeling this way (I sometimes feel alone because of the endless ship content), so thank you, I suppose. And I’m sorry if I’m making this about me too much, I just.. yeah, just wanted to talk about this a bit. We will get through this.

aww man I’m so sorry to hear u had to go through this too,,,I’m glad I’m not alone tho. it’s just so frustrating to see it fucking everywhere, it feels like I literally cannot enjoy anything anymore. the other day I tried to think about something non gf related and went into another ship tag and you wouldn’t believe the first thing I saw there. I’m so mad at this fandom right now and it physically pains me that so much of this fandom either doesn’t realize it’s abuse or knows and just refuses to treat it with tact and continues to romanticize it
