you take a breath to gather your courage
“did you know i,” you start, “i had a big crush on you like two years ago?”
he raises his brows as he processes the new info, a small smile on his lips. “i did not.”
he’s so cute guys ohmydhskdjdjdn
you continue, “well, seeing you again made me…” you sigh as you rub your forehead and avoid his gaze, staring down at the ground. “i got excited and let myself get carried away, you know?”
he nods and just lets you speak
you sigh softly and force yourself to look back up at him
“but since then.. since 2 years go i’ve.. i’ve met people,” you say, “i’ve gotten into some situations and i’m realizing now that i’m still thinking about them too.”
yoongi just stares at you as you talk
and it feels like your throat is tightening
just wrap it up you’re dragging it out!!!
“what i wanna say is that, i’m not looking for anything serious right now. not when i know my mind is still clouded by others, i don’t want you to feel played or anything cause i do enjoy spending time with you.”
wow
that took
a WHOLE bunch of courage to say
you stare at him, waiting for a reaction
then, he smiles. “take a breath.”
oh
you hadn’t realized you were holding your breath
anticipating his reaction
you take a deep breath, fingers fidgeting
he nods his head. “that’s okay.”
just as you part your lips to say something, he continues, “i totally understand what you mean when you say your mind is still clouded by someone else cause i still experience it too. i’m glad you had the courage to tell me cause i’m not sure i could’ve admitted that.”
oh
he’s so
wow
need him. RN.
you blink at him. “so, we’re on the same page, then?”
he nods but then tilts his head to the side. “of course. thanks for being honest and making me realize some stuff too.”
a small smile creeps on your lips. you’re glad it worked out
but his next few words knock the air right out of your body
“will you still let me kiss you?”
aa
aaaaaa
AAAAAAAAAA
you bite your lip in an attempt to hide your smile and nod your head, taking a step closer to close the distance between you two
he cups your cheek and brings your face closer to his, gently pressing his lips to yours
your own hands move up to his biceps, softly squeezing them as you kiss him
he’s so fine
his arms fit right into your hands
like you were made to hold him isn’t that crazy
he slightly tilts his head to the side, allowing himself to deepen the kiss
his lips are so soft, you’re convinced you’re being caressed by clouds
you sigh contentedly into the kiss, goosebumps popping out of the upper layer of your skin
oh how you wish you could have him in sinful ways
his hands respectfully drop down to your waist as he pulls you even closer, pressing your chest flat into his
you smile into the kiss and this makes him poke through your lips with his tongue
you part your lips, allowing him to lick into your mouth
you continue to make out with him in front of dirty tables and dishes that are begging for attention
but standing here with him makes the world around you fade away
and you allow yourself to melt into his kiss, his touch, his embra–
“i don’t mean to ruin your kdrama moment but you’re blocking the way. i can’t reach the dirty plates.”
your heart freefalls to your feet
no, not freefalls
PLUMMETS
into the pit of the fucking earth
your lips part from yoongi’s and you turn to look to the side
to see
jungkook
staring you down
eyes slowly dragging down your body
pinch in his brows
tongue rolling against the inside of his cheek
eyes hooded
FUCK
he just went to go pee, of course it wouldn’t take long for him to return
what if he thinks you’re kissing yoongi just in spite of him?!??
“oh, my bad,” yoongi doesn’t seem to notice the tension between you two as he just pulls you to the side to let jungkook get to the plates
the three of you continue to clean up in silence
it’s
so
fucking
awkward
then, hoseok calls out yoongi’s name
“i’m gonna shut the tent and you’re not getting in if you don’t come right now!” hoseok yells from wherever he is
yoongi chuckles and then reaches out to rub your shoulder. “i gotta go. you can handle the rest, right? i mean, you’ve got jungkook too.”
damn
if only he knew
you force a smile and nod.
he’s so sweet :(
“okay. goodnight.” he gently taps your nose and walks off
oh :(
he’s so cute
you do really like him :(
you watch his figure disappear in silence
you turn to the tables and continue cleaning up
jungkook doesn’t say anything at all
you’ve finally cleaned everything up. “shall we go sleep?” you ask as you turn to face him
he nods as he uses his sweatpants to dry his hands
you quietly follow him to his tent, crouching down to follow him inside
well
“i can’t see anything,” you mumble
he doesn’t say anything as he turns the flashlight on on his phone and turns it face down so it lights up the tent
why is he so quiet :/
“we should reserve our battery as much as we can.” you remind him that you’re still in the middle of nowhere
he shakes his head, wordlessly dismissing you
can he stop being so
quiet?
you’re not used to it from him
you quietly watch as he zips the entrance to the tent back up
you just remembered you have to change your clothes with him.. in one tent
now you’re here, on your knees
he’s on his knees too
and he’s reaching for his own luggage
you slowly reach for your suitcase and open it up, picking out the first pajamas you see
when you look over your shoulder to ask him not to look
he’s
shirtless
with his back to you
changing
his clothes
and then
you notice
an entire fucking sleeve of tattoos
oh shit oh shit
he’s hot as fuck😭
you frown. “since when do you have tattoos?”
his head shoots up and he turns to look at you. “ogling me, you perv?”
this damn junior…
well at least he’s talking again
you roll your eyes as you turn back to your own suitcase and tug your shirt off
the silence makes him speak
“i’ve been getting them since a year ago but i don’t like that the sleeve is unfinished so i don’t like showing it yet.”
ah
is that why he wears rash guards when you go swimming?
“oh, ok.” you slide your pajama shirt on and start buttoning it up. you’re trying so hard not look at him cause he’s so fucking hot and you’re stuck with him in one tent
just
act like he’s not here.
ACT LIKE HE’S NOT HERE
okay. that’s good.
“wanna see?”
fuck
FUCK
you do
u really do
you glance at him as you button up your shirt
your eyes trail his bare chest and torso as he’s now fully turned to you
he’s so toned
he looks…… really good
you glance up into his eyes and he is staring straight into your eyes
he knows you just eyed his body
but he doesn’t comment on it
you finally glance down at his arm
he takes his phone into his hand and directs the flashlight at his arm
you see a whole bunch of tattoos, eyes tracing each line
you reach out and trace the lines with your finger
you glance up at him and he’s not looking at his arm
he’s staring straight at you
look away
look away
LOOK AWAY
before you do something
so fucking stupid
…
NOW
you shift your eyes back to his arm. “what does this one mean?” you rub one flower that he has tatted on the inside of his arm
“that’s my mother’s birthflower.”
you glance up at him and this time he’s staring at the tattoo as well instead of at you
“that’s sweet,” you say, quietly
he nods. “yeah. she always said that if i do ever get tattoos, i’d better start with something in honor of her,” he says with a soft smile as he gently rubs his inked skin
you smile. that’s really cute. who knew he was such a softie? “what was her reaction to seeing the tattoo?”
silence
wow
suddenly
the atmosphere changes
maybe you shouldn’t have asked that
he scrunches his nose up for a split second and then tugs his arm from under your finger away
he reaches for his sweater and slides it on, same with his pants. “she never got to see it.”
and with that, he crawls into his oversized sleeping bag and turns his back to you
oh
thats
:/
what happened with his mom?
you stare at his back for a moment longer
you slowly and quietly crawl into your own sleeping bag and try to sleep without another word
“you’re trembling.” his voice is groggy and quiet
how long have you been trying to fall asleep?
you glance at your phone, it’s 2am
“yeah, well, it’s cold,” you mumble, trying to stop yourself from shivering
he says, “come here,” with a soft sigh
huh
come
come WHERE?
“i’m good.”
“stop being stubborn and come here.”
wow
breathless
that’s the only way to describe what you’re feeling right now
you slowly scoot closer to him. you grumble, “don’t talk to me like that, i’m still your senior.”
“yeah, yeah,” he says as he dismisses your comment and slowly starts unzipping your sleeping bag and his
your breath hitches in your throat
is he telling you to crawl into his sleeping bag?
wait
WAITTTT
“don’t touch–”
“i’m not gonna touch you. there’s enough space.”
you glance at him for a moment longer but you can’t see much
he quietly sighs at your accusing gaze. “not everything i do is underhanded, y/n. sometimes i just want to help you, alright? you’re making it really hard to want to help you.”
well
you can’t help it !! you just don’t trust him
but you’re fucking freezing and you don’t know what else to do
you sigh and slowly crawl out of your own sleeping bag into his
you turn on your side, turning your back to him
it’s quiet
it doesn’t seem like he had any ulterior motives cause you can hear the soft puffs leaving his mouth and it actually sounds like he’s sleeping again
he’s right, it’s quite spacious
your bodies haven’t touched
but his body heat is radiating off of him and you don’t feel so cold anymore
alright
you close your eyes and try to fall asleep
and you’re slowly
dozing
off
…
“i’m glad you hit it off with yoongi. he’s a good guy.”
oh shit
your eyes shoot open and you turn your face over your shoulder to look at him
what
don’t do this.
“you deserve someone that’s going to treat you well. i know we’re always teasing each other but i really do want what’s best for you.”
he continues to talk with his eyes closed
is he talking to you in his sleep?
do you believe him? or is this another one of his tricks?
will he remember even inviting you into his sleeping bag tomorrow morning?
your lack of response makes him open up his eyes, staring directly into yours
you can’t see much but you can definitely see that
so he was awake
you turn your face back to lie back with your back to him and close your eyes. you can’t look into his eyes for much longer. “i told him i’m not looking for anything serious.”
there’s a beat of silence
“why?”
you’re quiet this time
very quiet
his breath hits the back of your neck in the meantime
makes you see every celestial body in the universe on the back of your eyelids
nerve endings set alight
goosebumps all over your body
you finally reply, “i’m sure you know why.”
…..
he doesn’t respond to that
and before you know it
you’ve finally dozed off
hm
light
light hits your eyes
scrunching of shoes against branches and grass reach your ears
you stir
trying to recognize your surroundings
your eyes are met with someone’s back
oh right
you’re in the tent with jungkook
but why
the fuck
is your arm
around jungkook’s waist
WHY ARE YOU SPOONING HIM
STOP
take your arm back without waking him up NOW
you slowly start pulling your arm back, but his own arm is caging yours in
you bite your lip as you continue to try to pull your arm back undetected
but
that mission FAILS
when jungkook suddenly jerks and turns around in one swift motion, wrapping his own arm around you as you lie flat on your back
you almost yelp but looking down at him, you realize he’s still asleep
you freeze
his face is directly in the crook of your neck, breath hitting your skin and awakening goosebumps all over your body
his arm is lazily slung around your waist and his legs are intertwined with yours
you hold your breath as you try to think of a way to get out of this without jungkook ever being aware of it
STEADYYYYY
you slowly move to untangle his legs from yours and it’s extra hard cause you can’t actually see your legs
okay MISSION SUCCESSFUL
WOW he didn’t wake up once
he must be a heavy sleeper
Now moving onto his arm around your waist, let’s get that–
“BREAKFAST IS ALMOST DONE! EVERYONE WAKE UP!”
FUCK
FOR FUCKS SAKE TAE!!!!
he’s yelling it around all tents
jungkook
suddenly
jerks
and you almost whimper at how his lips graze your neck
“hm?” you hear a soft hum coming from him
fuck FUCK HE’S WAKING UP
you shut your eyes tightly as he slowly starts to recognize his surroundings
“oh… Oh?” jungkook suddenly scoots back, creating a bigger gap between your bodies
he looks just as surprised as you
“i’m so sorry,” he quickly says as he turns onto his back and rubs his face
you glance at him, noticing how his ears have turned a bright shade of crimson
“it’s okay,” you mumble as you sit up straight, rubbing your own face
you both sit there for awhile just waking up slowly
“come on, breakfast is ready,” you mumble as you start unzipping his sleeping bag further
“wait–” his hand tightly grips your wrist as he tries to stop you in your movements, his entire upper body slouched over your lap
you frown and glance down at him
he slowly lies back down, his hair sprawled out behind his head on his makeshift pillow of rolled up pants.
did he? give you? his pillow? while you? were sleeping?
you say, “what?”
“i uh,” he scratches his head with his other hand
your frown deepens as you encourage him to finish talking
you’re so confused
so damn confused
he suddenly??? turns his back to you???
“never mind. go ahead.”
huh
????
you frown. “what are you doing? breakfast is ready.”
“i’ll come later, okay?”
your frown deepens. “but there might not be anything left for you if you wait.”
he mumbles, “that’s okay for me. you should go, though.”
“jungko–”
“i’m hard as fuck right now, alright? just go. Damn.”
oh
OH
it’s morning
he’s uhhh
experiencing
morning wood?
okay
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
without another word.
you.
get.
the.
hell.
out.
and after you’ve washed up
you see that the table only has two vacant seats left, one next to yoongi that he probably saved for you
and the two empty seats are right across from each other
meaning you’re gonna have to stare straight at jungkook when he joins y’all for breakfast
after what just happened
while sitting right next to yoongi
😂😂😂😂😂😂 life is so funny

just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.
war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.
Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.
The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.
not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.
it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)
#this widespread support has NOTHING to do w Israelis being Jewish apart from evangelicals wanting to use them as pawns for armageddon#the primary reason this is all being treated like it's ok is cuz it's useful to the usa#i feel like this post is going to bring terrible ppl into my inbox but i'm gonna leave it rebloggable for now#if our (US+EU) governments push back at all it will be because it stops being useful to us#either because Israel isn't doing this as quickly & efficiently as promised and it looks like Palestine might actually do some damage#or if it otherwise becomes too politically costly by causing too much tension between the US & other nationstates#either allies like Saudi or if states we aren't quite ready to have war w seem to be ready to throw down over it

It was Maid Day today yesterday a week ago so I got struck by inspiration to draw the worsties, and it ran away from me into a whole AU where they’re coworkers at a maid cafe. She’s a med student & this is just a part time job, and this is his depression job while he gets his life back together. He needs something he can be workaholic about to forget what it’s like having a personal life and personal issues. He’s actually the accountant, but the new hire janitor (Izutsumi) doesn’t show up for half her shifts and is a sloppy worker, so he gets the extra work of doing her job on top of his because he’s undervalued and overworked. Of course, janitors also have an uniform to keep the aesthetic cohesion as they go about cleaning the place, of course.
Senshi’s the part time cook you only see slivers off, he’s kind and warm when you do see him and have a chat but most shifts he’s in and out the kitchen without a trace. Laios and Falin are regulars because Falin and Marcille are besties & in the same med school, Laios accompanies Falin as she visits her friend at work and gets hooked on the food. Chilchuck has to remind Marcille to work instead of chatting with Falin for an hour, and next thing he knows she’s distracting him from work too. That’s it that’s the AU. Inspired by this idol AU fanart a bit <3
This was not meant to be birthday gift but well…… Happy bday Chil!!!

Me when they confirm in Roku's 2nd novel that Ta Min has had the hots for Roku since school started (or sooner) but didn't say anything because of Sozin or something, and thus perpetuating the Ta Min/Rangi and Sozin/Yun parallel:
#i'm not sure if I like it or not klfdjlaskjflkajfa#my ass be conflicted TT0TT#i don't have a horse in the roku race so no shade to any ships#I like parallels.....but I don't trust RR's writing is my issue i guess TT0TT#rozin#sozin#roku#reckoning of roku#rise of kyoshi#Ra Min#shadow of kyoshi#rangshi#rangi#kyoshi x yun#kyoshi#yun#kyun#ta min#yoshi#yun x kyoshi#kyoshi x rangi#i don't think kyoshi/yun have a ship name TT0TT#rangi x kyoshi#chronicles of the avatar#that&I think.....their parallel doesn't work the best & kinda think the vibes for the ships should be different than paralleling kyo's ship#like they REALLY need to sell me on why Ta Min/Roku didn't get together sooner if this is the case#cause Rangshi had gaynst backing it#which makes sense in the whole “can't confess too soon thing” (plus Kyo/Yun's crush on each other also go in the way)#like this type of thing CAN work w/straight ships but.....a lot of times it's not written well#which is a shame because it can add a lot of tension but sigh......

if yord had lived he'd be leading the hunt for qimir and osha and we would've gotten the most delicious tension between him and qimir. qimir would start out frustrated that yord got away, intent on finishing what he started. and yord, once hunted, now hunter, once an exemplary jedi, and now solely focused on revenge disguised as righteous justice (which it is also a bit of that). and qimir starts to enjoy the game, the chase. and in this timeline, sol still dies, osha still goes with qimir, but yord was unconscious, recovering in a bacta tank, so all he knows when he wakes up is that qimir is out there and took osha, his friend, away. so then you also have the tension of that confrontation, the realization that osha has willingly turned, and that maybe yord can't blame her for that, because what has he been doing these past many months, years, maybe, but give in to the selfish desire to finish what he started too?
#in this au vernestra doesn't blame sol for all the deaths. like maybe she doesn't say it was her apprentice#but she says they're dealing w someone powerful#like she can't lie about that bc yord can testify#and in this maybe jecki lives. on one hand - probably not bc yord's guilt about her death would be SO GOOD#but on the other hand just maybe stick her in a coma for a while idk lol. until she joins him on the hunt#plus if she lives osha's betrayal will feel more personal...... hmm....#i literally do not have time to write another fic. i haven't even finished the ones i'm currently working on!!!#but now this is sticking in my brain.....#idk that post about yord's little gay earring just made me think that he should have gay tension with qimir. just a thought#like if we REALLY wanted to discuss the themes of light and dark and the in-between#and the whole 'nobody wakes up and thinks they're the bad guy' theme#maybe we should've left the very stoic uptight capital g Good Guy jedi alive to challenge that#yord fandar#qimir#osha aniseya#the acolyte#star wars#sticking this in the tag:#my writing#bc i very well might come back to this

Oh no I missed coffee night!!!!
I wanted to ask you about Hitchcock 😔 If you're willing to answer, which movies of his do you think are overrated and which do you think are actually good? He's my most watched director (because film school) but I only genuinely like a few of his films and always disagreed with my classmates about which ones were the best
I feel like I'm holding up a Daffy Duck style sign that says "shoot me" because Hitchcock is so well thought of by cinephiles versus me, the basic horny mod who watches movies with hot people in them. With that said, I remember Rope, Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, and To Catch a Thief all left me a bit flat, because I felt like he was prioritizing pushing technical limits or creating extravagant images over deeper characters and relationships. I love a good technical limit-pushing, but it needs to serve the story! And sometimes I feel like he has an idea he wants to try or an image he wants to show and puts so much focus on developing it that characters' reality and interest kind of falls by the wayside—they become pawns navigating his situations, instead of interesting characters in their own right.
To be fair, this is more a characteristic of his later work than his early work—The Lady Vanishes is one of my favorite movies, and I remember Notorious and Spellbound both being enjoyable when I watched them a few years ago. Again, basic film watcher here. Don't show this post to the Criterion collection.
#putting down the shoot me sign and backing away v fast#i just want to be clear i do NOT have cinephile movie taste. i like crowd pleasers and musicals and very silly movies.#i would be shot out of a film school in a cartoon cannon the minute they mentioned the word ~images~#with that said i am right and i should say it :) he is not that good of a director when it comes to storytelling :)#rope should be SO GOOD and....it is not. technically interesting. but not good!#posts that will get me murdered fr#asks#edit for more thoughts in the tags because this grinds my gears. lady vanishes works for me because there's lots of spookiness and a few#“wow!” pushing the limit things for film nerds. (the train noise is continuous & that was a big thing at the time)#but the train noise being continuous is SMART because it adds to the rising tension and sense of containment. essential to the story!#whereas rope does a similar trick (continuous looking shot) but it doesn't tie into the story in any way.#does it matter that we never look away from the living room with the corpse? does it mean something this happens in real-ish time?#you can make an argument it does textually but emotionally i never felt like rope's 1 shot was tying into *this* specific story.#like i thought it was called rope because the literal rope emotionally ties into the metaphorical rope of a neverending shot! but no#the tension never builds for me in rope and i think it's because not enough focus was spent on its characters or making sure the shot#echoed & or developed a point being made onscreen. you could make rope w/conventional cuts and edits and i dont think you would#emotionally end up with a significantly different movie. (it doesnt help that there are obvious seams in the shot at random places.)#all in all sometimes it feels like hitch is making a movie for people who understand what trick he's showing off#versus a movie for basic bitches like me who just want to hang out with some hot strange people for two hours#anyway. i feel like i have lost all my cred in one post. oh well. sorry hitch. lady vanishes is still great

i was so excited for venom 3 and was so unimpressed 😭 when it ended i was just like “…oh” and i have so many thoughts but i need to watch it again before i fully form them
#and i won’t be paying to see it again in theaters#a quick informal ramble ab my thoughts tho#i feel like what makes any venom media fun and interesting to partake in is the relationship between venom and eddie#like their relationship is the foundation of the plot and everything else happening is in parallel/connected to what’s going on between them#and this movie focused on their relationship like zero percent#like ofc there were a few moments here and there maybe but in all honesty the first time we see any emotion about how they feel ab each#other is at the end of the movie when they realize one of them will have to die#and i feel like we lowkey focused TOO much on the area 51 b plot#like i definitely liked the alien invasion vibes and that aspect but we spent too much time there to be having the same#fun as the first two movies#i feel like they could’ve used the codex as a source of tension between them bc they both were too uncomfortable not being able to mesh#fully whenever they wanted like they’ve spent such a long time together#and this would be removing an aspect of their relationship#esp when the whole thing that makes them special is that they’re symbiotic and have a unique and incredible bond#but ur telling me they can’t fully venom out and they’re both just like darn inconvenient#and then do it anyway a couple of times flippantly like for the dance w mrs chen#which was like such a random plot point to draw the creature back to them#clearly i have more thoughts than i initially believed#venom the last dance#venom 3#venom#symbrock

the best thing about this show is that mulder and scully are literally best friends
#even outside of all the romance stuff. ignoring all other characters and relationships#they became best friends the second they met and they stayed best friends forever even when they didn’t see each other for years at a time#it’s soooo. ough. shows where the leads hate each other or only have romantic tension w no friendship to back it are lame to me somehow#make them FRIENDS make them BESTIES!!!!! like mulder and scully!!!

Someday I’ll stop reblogging arcane critical posts I’m sure but fjskdjsksjs my cousin finally finished and I was sent back into the hole that is ‘wtf was that I am actually so thoroughly dissatisfied with nearly every narrative choice they made now that I’m not being blinded by emotions’ and i fear I’m no fun to talk to ab it for her 😂
The tags for this got Crazy but I stand by them 😂 (tho none of it is polished so, yk, don’t come at me if some stuff is a lil underbaked ok, I only got 30 sentences)
#she was still in her grieving jinx era#tbf to her it took me a day for my feelings to go from man the visuals were so stunning and the emotional hurt from vi and jinx#to actually analyzing but like#on nearly every level for the characters I was dissatisfied#yes even echo#bc whERE were the firelights#and I KNOW all of it boils down to#they did not care to tell the story of a revolution#they just didn’t#so the characters have to drop every part of that until it becomes an afterthought#despite it being the driving tension of season 1#Vi does not think on her actions at all which I’ve talked a bit more ab elsewhere so I’ll spare you#jinx has the most relation to that plotline but even then we don’t linger on it like I thought through isha we could go down and parallel#silco and vanders struggle.. silco wanting independence but not being able to trade his daughter vander putting down his gloves to make sur#they were safe#and jinx who really didn’t care that much ab the politics presumably channeling that same energy into fighting for independence for isha#could be so good… esp if it was combined w a storyline where Vi recons w her own identity outside just a protector of jinx#and then echo and his firelights building community and fighting for his ppl like#do u see what I’m saying#for sevika I think wld have been rlly interesting to show her shift from follower to leader bc she has always wanted what’s best for zaun#but has always simply backed whoever she thought would get it done#I think her taking more agency in it was a good choice I also think her and ekko shld have some sort of interaction#and Mel should have beat her mom with her own strengths. her political savvy. her cunning. and her ideals. and should have pushed for an#independent zaun bc I think Mel wants peace and I think if the story cared to go the revolutionary way she would have known what the right#thing to do was. also her mom shld not have suddenly been stupid. after pushing for the war and finally getting the weapon advancement rout#she wanted maybe she does something else. but also I think Jayce and Viktor realizing what they have created w their science was a good plo#it’s not the technology it is how you wield it and how you develop it and then realizing what they’ve done was always good. I hate the pivo#to oh yea it’s actually the magic is bad.. like.. ok. intrinsic magic good. magic to better the society and cure ppl badddd (tho that’s not#where they ended up but the story made it seem like yea the arcane is just bad nd it corrupts if you ask too much of it ??#arcane critical

Aqukana are so sweet nothing coded and HSJFKFKIFJF IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-
Ok so Kana loves Aqua as he is and really does not want anything in return from Aqua, she doesn't put him in a pedestal or idolizes him intensely. To her he's an idiot and an idiot that she has a crush on. She banters w him, calls him a gloomy narcissist, and asks him to tell her jokes. To Aqua, Kana is that window to normalcy that he has, he's just a teenager w her and he doesn't have to act or walk in eggshells w her. He shines a light on her darkest moments and she is his light. They can be who they are with each other, Kana doesn't have to hold her tongue, Aqua doesn't have to act around her. In fact when Aqua is asked by Kana if he hates her he answers "It's actually the opposite.." like sir who are you fooling🤨🤨
Edit:
Adding smth to this, Kana comes home to Aqua's sweet nothings. Aka Aqua would never demand perfection from Kana. Kana doesn't have to pressure herself to reach Aqua's expectations, she's perfect as she is.
#aqkn#aqukana#aquakana#onk#Spotify#i want to talk abt these two and I WILL#i can see why Aqua is so protective of Kana when she represents that one good thing that happened him and he doesn't want to lose that#well not “one” but Kana seems to be the only girl in the series that's not putting Aqua into some sort of pedestal#she wants her crush to notice her perfectly teen behavior#but she also sees her as just more than a romantic interest#she sees him as a precious friend#he's probably the first friend she's got in years of the industry#not only in one of the panels in the latest arc Kana is seen in Elementary school holding a script alone and not playing w the other kids#so it's safe to assume he's her first friend in a long time#and after losing him once I don't think she'll risk losing the friendship she got back WHICH IS SODJBDJDNDJD#GIVE ME THE FRIENDS TO LOVERS AKA#GIVE ME THE BANTER#THE TENSION#GIVE IT#oshi no ko#oshi no ko manga#oshi no ko manga spoilers

one daaay i will put my stb era toxic yaoi thoughts into a coherent form and by that i mean an incoherent mess of a comic but know i do genuinely think about them constantly . they were always worse .
#guy who keeps sneaking off in the middle of the night to hunt the 7'8 guy he can not fucking beat for sport#and ending up getting his ribs kicked in and his arms broken every single night .#and he keeps going back cus well sometimes the 7'8 guy is fun to talk to.#over all the rib breaking and femur shattering and broken noses and stabs.#and well i do sometimes think he sneaks away for things other than bone breakings. like sitting silently#in the same room with a strange sense of like tension and satisfaction and thrill. and i do think it drives him insane#to feel weirdly calm and safe around another human being#especially one that is constantly kicking his ribs in with his sabatons.#txt#the mutual fascination w the other in terms of “oh this guy Will Not Die" in their ways. cute. to me.#liek i feel like endwalker on is a sort of quiet acceptance of . yeah. i mean i guess you kind of are the only person who could#get it at this point . and i can not let you die. because if you die and can not prove yourself happy#it proves i can never be happy.#but stb? canis is barely a person in stb. thats just a sharp sword now bouncing dully off a sharper one.#ahh. equally made funny w the fact zenos giving canis his lip scar was always the plan.#even uh. 3 years ago when i didnt gaf about that guy and thought he was boring. LOL#anyways all this to say i think the mental image of any scion seeing canis like. calm. around anyone.#especailly zenos of all people.#is really fucking funny. like what do you mean you fell asleep in front of another human. and it was that guy.#he tried to kill you.#and canis is like yeah he still tries that.#tldr: yeah ican jack you off the blood on my hands cant stain you any further.

Me: 😐
My brain: what if you did a dread run where you romance minthara so you can see her ending
Me: 😠
#i romanced her my v first dread run#back when she was mildread bc i was worried a durge run would be too scary#so i gave her a goofy name to undercut any tension#but i went w the absolute ending on that#so i never got to chat w her at the reunion party#orig

A trend in Astarion fics that I find bizarre is the idea that he's never been treated gently during sex. This is difficult to believe for one simple reason: some of Astarion's victims were virgins.
Astarion: You were handsome. Shy. You'd never been kissed. Sebastian: You taught me how. And then you destroyed me.
I get the desire to make his current partner special by having their sex be good and wholesome in comparison to his other trysts, but this is a flawed sentiment. The cutscene of that first night together is incredibly tender from the kiss to laying on the grass - the only outlier being if you offer your neck - and if you sleep with Astarion but keep it at that night, Astarion himself says he will never forget you. Not because the PC was uniquely gentle with him in bed, but because they were the first person he ever slept with of his own free will. It's his choice that makes that night special to him moreso than anything the PC may or may not have done during that time.
#baldur's gate 3#astarion ancunin#astarion#the only exception i have to this is rimming. im down so bad for him being overwhelmed from being eaten out its not even funny#also the blood drinking since that is canonically new. makes me wonder how not being hungry would specifically affect him during sexy times#it's an eat or be eaten out world#...anyway#other factors can and probably do make their adult fun times special for him. particularly the intricacies of personal dynamics#a night w a pc that listens to him. lets him drink often. and saves the tiefs is def more special than one w a pc who does none of those#i really enjoy the tension between his hating heroic types and them being the most likely to provide the things he needs to survive#oh and smth thats somewhat related to this#i don't think astarion ever let his conquests see his back#in the clearing he's always facing his partner and even the camera doesnt show his back until the dramatic reveal#given that his victims were all one night stands it'd be p easy to convince each of them to do it face to face#leaves plenty of positions and ftf is oft more romantic which could def be an interesting conflict for him and his lover#so many common gestures of affection have been ruined for him. theyre just motions at best now#that makes it easier for their faces to be ingrained in his head so. bonus trauma lol

@thecreativeforge [xx]
Might hurt? It did hurt, but it hurt in that very specific way that meant it would feel incredible later on.
Honestly Dick hadn't actually meant to talk Jason into giving him a massage; he'd just noticed his shoulders were more tense than usual, there had been a bit of banter, and then Jason's hands were on his back starting to work that tension out of him. Starting to, because a lot of it was set in so deep it was going to take some serious work to get it out.
"I told you," he said with a wry laugh that shifted to a soft groan as Jason's fingers found yet another tender spot among the knots in his shoulder. God, he could feel the muscle fighting back a little before the tension was worked out of it. "It's always like this, more or less…"
#thecreativeforge#dick ic#dick verse: gone solo#[dick carries his tension in his back and shoulders#it is known >w>]#jaydick: thecreativeforge - pieces
