if a category 3 or even category 4 hurricane directly hits Tampa, Florida, the insurance market will collapse overnight and it will be an unimaginable, complete catastrophe that i'm not sure the United States is capable of handling on top of ongoing Helene recovery. keep anyone who has the misfortune of living in Florida in your thoughts because this particular storm is going directly over very, very warm gulf of mexico waters and has the potential to be a monster.
#just adding the newest nhc noaa chart because it looks significantly worse#I think some people are underselling the severity of this storm#a storm forming in the west gulf and then heading east towards Tampa... has literally never happened before#at least as long as we've been tracking hurricanes#I genuinely think we're looking at a castastrophe-level event here due to the already damaged infrastructure plus the lack of#preparedness due to never Really receiving a direct hurricane hit#basically I'm just saying. mutuals. I probably won't be on for a while. things will probably not be okay here.#it's not surprising to me that people not in the path of the hurricane aren't really talking about it but like#what if you knew a tornado would destroy your neighbor's house tomorrow?#what if you knew hurricane katrina was coming and you knew the levee wouldn't hold?#the best we can hope for is weeks without power. idk how I'm going to keep my aquariums going that long#everyone should thank pinellas county for taking the first hit because it might not be there anymore next week

JJK CHARACTERS AND THEIR ICKS
basically things they do that make you upset. this is a joke so please do not attack me. y'all already know i never miss a chance to slander gojo!!! credit to my sweet mutual lene (@satorisoup) for giving me this idea!!! GO READ HER'S (if you're into haikyuu)
Gojo
PLEASE. He 100% leaves his clothes on the floor and it really grates your nerve when the hamper is RIGHT THERE!!! and he just leaves them right in front of it. It's so embarrassing when you have guests over and they just pull a dirty sock from between the couch cushions.
Yuji
I love him but I just KNOW he leaves toothpaste in the sink. It's like he doesn't understand the concept of rinsing the sink out after you brush your teeth. You'll finally be making your way into the bathroom to brush your teeth and there's dried spit and toothpaste in the sink.
Megumi
Always. talks. back. It does not matter he always has something to say. "Well you could have just taken out the trash like I asked you to." and he'll say something snarky like, "Maybe if you weren't so soft spoken I would have heard you." BOY SHUT UP BEFORE YOU GET SLAPPED.
Geto
He is a HUGE gossip. "Mimiko was telling me about xyz yesterday." He just doesn't know when to shut up. People think Geto is a very quiet and kept to himself kind of person but when he knows you he will not stop talking shit.
Toji
There are so many things I could say but the worst of them all is the fact that he will wear the same pair of underwear more than twice. "Toji... are those the same fucking boxers you had on Thursday?" You can see the hem line of his boxers and it looks like the same pair from Thursday. He sets down his cup, "Uh, probably. What's today?" ... "IT'S SUNDAY. JUST WASH YOUR CLOTHES!"
Nanami
He's overbearing with tasks. He forgets that you know how to do things and will bug you until he knows you've done them. "Don't forget to take your car to get an oil change soon." You nod.
A few hours later when he returns home, "Have you gone down to get the oil ch-"
"Kento! The love of my life. I know. I'm going tomorrow." ... "Oh, okay. I'm sorry."
Nobara
Leaves her plate/bowl/etc on the table. You've reminded her on multiple occasions that she needs to do it but she just forgets. "Food was great!" She yells with a smile. In no time she's up from the table sprinting to the living room. "Nobara.. your plate." She freezes, "Oh shit right. I'll get it!"
Maki
She snores. It's not the cute kind either, it's the loud obnoxious kind that prevents you from sleeping. You've tried to get her to change her sleeping posture and find other ways to help but it does. not. matter. By the end of the night she will be holding you close. Your back pressed against her front and loud snores ringing in your ear.
Inumaki
Never gives you any kind of warning when he's going to fart he just does it. HE KNOWS they're a lethal weapon but finds it funny whenever you're screaming at him and gasping for air. God forbid he ever farts while you two are in bed because a dutch oven from him is probably enough to kill you.
Shoko
She laughs whenever you trip or get hurt in any kind of way. She doesn't even mean it she just does it. Like say she sees that the pavement is uneven she doesn't say anything and watches you trip, just to laugh about it. "Okay okay okay, I'm so *giggle* sorry. I should have said something, let me help you up."
Sukuna
Thinks because he's lived for a long time he knows everything and then he gets mad when, "This stupid little talking box won't work." (his phone) "This shit is broken again." He complains throwing it to you. "Dude.. it's powered off. 'Mr. I Know Everything.'" He rolls his eyes at you, "I do know everything you shit for brains." You scoff, "See if I ever help you turn on your 'talking box' again."
Choso
He's always second guessing you. He doesn't even realize it either. The two of you will be driving and he's like, "Are you sure you know where we're going? Should I pull up GPS." YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING CHILL. He's just really cautious though which is why he asks a million times.

Letting Go
Old memories resurface so Logan reminds you who is truly there for you.
Logan Howlett x Reader
a/n: the fics I'm starting to write are getting more and more self indulgent and the situations are getting hyper-specific. Not only do I want to be with Logan, on so many different levels, he's also become such a comfort character to me (or maybe it's just hugh jackman idk). ANYWAY, this has been sitting in my drafts for a while now so enjoy the short fic
masterlist
warnings/tags: more emotional hurt/comfort, Logan is probably a little or a lot ooc here, I wanna specify this is the movie logan and not the comics, betrayal? idk, I probably forgot a few details about Wolverine here
Logan noticed you've been quiet recently. Not only that but you've been avoiding him. One time when you rounded a corner of the mansion's many hallways you immediately turned back the way you came when you saw him. Did he do something wrong? Every time he tried to talk to you, you would run away.
He asked Ororo if she knew what was going on but she didn't know either. He asked Jean but she didn't know anything either, but he did find out that you've been avoiding everyone. Scott, Ororo, Jean, Hank— not just him. It even came to the point where he asked the professor himself and all he said was, “She needs her space.”
He was at the library looking for a specific textbook he needed for his next class when he heard sniffling from a secluded corner of the library— your corner. You told him once that you've pretty much claimed that part of the library for yourself since it was secluded and quiet enough that no one would bother you as you worked.
He slowly and quietly walked over. Sure enough you were there. Your laptop was in front of you, folders neatly stacked around you on the table, and your bag placed on the side facing the main library, likely to hide your face.
He sat in front of you, gently moving the folders to the side before speaking.
“Hey.” he said softly.
You jumped and quickly wiped your face but your head was still down. “What are you doing here?”
“I heard you crying, of course I'm gonna go check on you. You've been avoiding me all week. Something's going on, and as your boyfriend I want to know.”
You don't say anything.
“Is this about Eve?”
Silence.
He leans back on the chair crossing his arms. “You know that was years ago right?”
Eve was a close friend of yours. You both have been friends for almost two years back in high school. She was someone who stood by you through your toughest times, and at the time there was a lot, specially since that was same point in your life your mutation decided manifest. But then you guess they got sick and tired of having to deal with what you were going through with you because one day you learned from your best friend, who was a mutual friend of yours, that she planned on cutting you off. You don't remember exactly what she said but one thing was clear to you, she no longer wanted any relationship with you, not even an acquaintance. What stuck with you was the promise she made a year prior: “If you think I'm gonna leave you, I won't,” which ended up being a lie.
It's been years, you know that it's time to move on, but every now and then it haunts you. You've been keeping people at arms length since then, not sharing much about yourself aside from the basics: name, age, and what you like to do in your free time. Although you've opened up a bit when you started dating Logan, you've share a few things about Eve, but you still hold back in fear of the whole thing to happen again.
“You have to let it go. I'm not saying this to be dismissive, I'm saying it because holding on to it will prevent you from finding people who actually care for you.” he unfolds his arms and leans on the table closer to you. “Like I've said before, if she was able to let you go so easily, then maybe she wasn't a good friend to begin with.”
He walks over to your side of the table and kneels beside you. Gently, he places his hand on the side of your face lifting it up to make you look at him.
“I know it hurts to be abandoned by someone you cared for deeply, but dwelling on what happened won't bring them back. It's time for you to focus on the people who genuinely care about you. Ororo, Jean, Hank, Scott, pretty much everyone in the mansion, and of course me.”
Your eyes start to well up again, a couple tears escape, sliding down your cheek. Logan gently brushes them away.
“I know she's told you this but when I say I won't leave you, no matter how hard things get, I mean it. I love you and I care for you, remember that.”
You look into his eyes for any sign of deceit and seeing none, he genuinely means it. So for the first time in years, you trust those words. You lean your forehead on his “I believe you. And thank you.” you whisper.

❝ hc: they have a crush on s/o ❞ — knights + 2wink
character(s) ! knights / 2wink / gn! reader [separate] warning ! nothing.. just floof... i mean fluff note ! i proofread the whole thing, might miss some typos or incorrect facts by mistake.. that's all.. also a reposted work of mine from my watty and pardon my editing skill
- he'll try to find s/o anywhere he could since he felt all bubbly everytime he's staying near them, he wanted to know what is he feeling - upon finding them, he'll probably jumped and called out for the whole world to hear - "s/o !! there you are, my inspiration !! my muse !!~" - they were confused so much, ended up standing there and looking weirdly at leo - still smiles sweetly at him - again, he felt the bubbly feeling inside him - leo felt content only looking and staying by their side - believe me, he'll never stop being by s/o side— not until he finds out what he's feeling
- he knew it the first time he felt it— believe me, he'll still teases s/o and say bad thing; it's his nature after all (i love him sm slapped) - maybe he'll either confess or not - your choice - but his life is not the same anymore; he's acting weird - his tsundere is showing too much - fellow knights member noticed the change - except for the person themself - sena can't help but always say something to them and sometimes, accidently made s/o cry - cue the knights members being angry at him - he's having a hard time since he knew he has a crush on them
- this beauty here !! darling is so sweet - always gives affection to s/o - but when naru had a crush on them, love and affection everywhere overloads - somehow the love and affections being showered on s/o was not an odd thing anymore - they were basically being oblivious as naru-chan tried to show her love to them - damn too sweet is all i see - i can describe no more //kisses her cheeks
- sleep, huggies and desserts - he asks s/o to join him in short naps - they were was shocked but obliged - he uses their laps as his pillow - "i think i have a crush on you..." - he blurted out - they were confused but they got the message - would even spend more time with him if asked - since their feeling is mutual towards him too
- this baby boy here doesn't know how to act around his producer anymore - he'll stumble upon his words - s/o laughs at his cuteness - they'll play and spoil him nonstop - kasa got fumes running out of his ears while red tinted his cheeks - "p-producer!! please stop!!" - no, they won't stop - his crush for them bloom until one day he had the courage to tell them - "producer, can i call you [name]?" - bewilderment covered their face - they understood why he asked that and they teased him afterward
- he's mischievous - will probably pull pranks to make s/o notice him - troubles - yuta will only sigh in the background - "yuta-kun, hinata-kun is acting weird..." - he'll get complaints from s/o since they felt uncomfortable by his sudden change - hinata said sorry and showered them with nonstop sweets due to his sweet tooth - found this side of him is cute - slowly, they got closer and damn - hinata was proud of himself - cue yuta watching from afar silently supporting his brother
- this boy here may be having a problem when he knew he has a crush on s/o - since he's the opposite of his brother, who's filled with mischief all the time– yuta tends to get in trouble with having a crush on s/o - totally - he's a sweet baby (everyone is idc) - yuta would would be seen snooping around looking at s/o - "s/o, are you alright?" - he once found them moody and he brightened their day with spicy food - but they loved it and appreciated the kind gesture - probably hinata got jealous over the affection his brother gave to their producer
closing note ! fr idk what did i wrote here.. i tried to proofread.. there might still be incorrect facts and how they would react as i haven't been able to stay up to date ever since the ss event (?) for (!!) ... so basically yeah i'm not sure anymore lol ... reblogs and likes are appreciated , thanks :3c

Okay so I agree calling cops on people doing drugs is extremely fucked but what should we do about domestic abuse or human trafficking or people doing generally fucked highly illegal shit like, obligatory cops probably won't help but genuinely what should I or anyone else do in these situations because I'm not like batman
And while obviously obligatory communism fixes most of my concerns here but like, what can I do as an individual seeing these individual problems ? Not to say society wide analysis wouldn't be helpful here but again the point of the question is what can I do if I see people doing fucked up shit
Thank you and I hope I didn't sound aggressive!!!!!! Ur rlly bright!
i mean the answer is that if you witness domestic abuse or 'human trafficking' (a term i dislike because it is mostly used to position illegal immigration as equivalent to sexual slavery)--calling the cops will make things worse in 99% of cases.
if you involve law enforcement in a case where someone is being "trafficked" the most likely option (after, nothing happens because law enforcement are fundamentally incompetent at their alleged role)--is that the person who was forced into this circumstance by desperation will get deported back to the country they were desperate to leave in the first place. people who are forced into overseas slavery (sexual or otherwise) are in fact often kept in line by the people coercing them using the threat of immigration police.
similarly, calling law enforcement on a domestic abuse situation is basically unilaterally a bad idea unless the victim has specifically asked you to. the police will often harass victims and side with abusers. i cannot emphasize enough do not call the cops on a domestic violence situation. even in the best case scenario where the cops are theoretically willing to help--abuse victims very often, for various reasons, will lie to protect their abuser & then be the victim of retaliation from that abusers.
in either of those situations the best thing you as an individual can do is directly offer (offer, and do not expect that this offer will be taken up!) financial assistance, a place to crash overnight, or just (as is more likely within most people's capabilities) make it clear that you're a person who can be confided in who can keep their mouth shut.
but yes, obviously, more broadly the answer is--as you have in fact identified--that these are problems that you need to let go of the idea that you as an individual need to be intervening in or solving. like. the real best thing you can do is go start or join a mutual aid or community action group working to protect abuse/trafficking victims. another pair of hands at a women's shelter is infinitely more useful than anything you could do for anyone on your own.

Introduction Update...
This is going to take a while to write I think:
Look at current introduction.
Add some stuff that currently gets frequently asked:
Sissy
Slave
Submissive
Switch
Add some stuff about parts that get missed:
Programming
Hypnosis
Trans
Plural
Tech
Security
Autism
Non-binary
Incontinence
ABDL
Add some stuff about contact:
I won't pay you.
I love talking if it's a conversation
Feel free to send me asks
Things not to tell a stranger on the internet.
That's most of what I want here.
Previous Introduction
I have an old introduction post from April 5th (that's not that old just over a month old, but it was probably a bit of a brief introduction. I'm just not very good at doing that, and at that time I had nothing that I could find in my backlog as to what would be considered to be an introduction, so I wrote something up quickly.
The first thing that we talk about there is plurality. I'm not really going to go much into it right here, because I plan on talking more about it further down, but yes, we're a plural system.
And oddly the next thing is our age, (which we keep getting asked about, so it means these people have not read the pinned post). I'm not going to repeat that (but I'm not removing the old post either).
In that it talks a bit about disability. Including neurodivergence, specifically autism.
The next thing I talk about is incontinence. Which sort of extends to ABDL stuff.
Then basically we say that people are free to contact us (there will be more at the bottom of this about that). So, that's just going over what I have already said.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Here's some questions I get asked and while some of these get asked in a combined form I'm going to break them down to the component parts...
Are you a sissy? (why is ### unsuported?)
I'm trans. I was assigned male at birth. I am non-binary. The "Are you a sissy?" type quiz things often will say that yes I am a sissy.
My problem? Well I'm not quite sure if that's an identity I fully would embrace, or if it's a "play" thing.
Are you a slave?
Briefly, if the answer to that is, "yes" then either you are someone closely associated with me and my role in that position, or you shouldn't be answering that.
I am interested in the submissive thing. I've explored lightly the idea of "slave" and would like to explore it further with the right person/people.
Chances are, if you're asking that, you're not going to be the right person.
I guess maybe if you've shown that you've read what I've had to say, and you'd like to confirm what my current status is, and make it clear, then I get it. But... I've not had anything close to that.
And as to whether I would... I'm already in a long distance relationship of some similar nature, and I'm OK with exploring with others, or more with that person in that direction.
Are you a submissive?
Yes, though... I tend to be more than just a submissive, and if you're asking that, then your sense probably isn't what I mean by that.
Here's the thing that I want to say, most people who have asked, don't seem to have a sense of this being a relationship that is built, and that is built on mutual respect and understanding.
If you're one of those people, then probably we're not going to get very far. And while it's not asked, it comes out of these above questions.
Are you a switch?
YES ABSOLUTELY... Part of that is not really being able to define things in black and white, but for example, the "Caregiver/little" role (the relationship mentioned above), overall I feel I'm more of a little, but I end up taking a Caregiver role more often when it comes to a relationship. And I'm fine with that.
Parts that have been missed
I want to write a bit about some stuff I think is missing overall here.
What about programming?
I ended up checking out the tag, "programming" in relationship to hypnosis type stuff, and ran into stuff like "Python" which I was, "dang I can get people talking about that too?" So yes I do programming, I'm not that great, some people have told me that I shouldn't (they might be right, but that's not a useful thing to say).
So yes, I do computer programming.
Hypnosis?
OK, as I just mentioned, I also am into hypnosis, and I guess a lot of other "mental health," or "psychology" type topics. I don't really want to go into detail, but it's relevant to just say yep...
Gender identity stuff...
I've mentioned it above, and probably will more so below. We're non-binary. We tend to present more feminine, than masculine.
What about the incontinence?
Yeah, I have some incontinence, I would say it's mostly urge related, but trying to figure it out, we've not really got a clear answer. Most of the time, if we're on top of things, it's more a matter of "barely making it to the bathroom in time" but there have been some seriously notable accidents... I might talk about them in private once I get to know you (or on some other platform).
But aren't you ABDL?
Yes, as I say often, "Why not both?" There's two things here... Many people who do have incontinence, actually discover that diapers can make their lives incredibly better, and they fall in love with being able to wear, and use diapers...
That literally makes them diaper lovers, and part of the community. Even if it's just really that they love what it does for them on a personal level.
ABDL does not have to be (and often is not sexual), and that's part of the reason that people don't want to associate with it.
And also, people think that ABs and DLs "must go together". Which also not true. Yes, I'm both, but you can be one, without the other (you can even be an AB, who has none of the DL stuff).
Communicating with me
OK, this is where I run into some stuff that I'm often not sure about... Not that I'm not sure about what people are doing, more about my response.
Will you pay me to be your ... whatever?
No, I won't. Especially not if you contacted me first. My following you is not contacting you. My messaging you, because you asked... Is not contacting you.
If you really are just looking to get paid, then save your time, go find someone else to contact.
Will you talk to me?
Absolutely, I love a good conversation. If it's a good give and take (and yes it can take a bit to get there) I'm all up for it.
I'm up for it also if it does take a while to get there, and even if you want to talk about stuff that I'm not really interested in.
If I say something along the lines of, "I won't answer that," or "I won't do that with you where we're at in our relationship." It's not that I'm saying no to the conversation. It's that I'm stating that that particular thing is not OK at least right now.
If you still want to talk, I'm still up to it. Just not in that direction.
Can I send an ask?
I've had some great asks, and I love them. If you want to do that, go for it. I don't know what sending an anonymous ask does on, well either end, but I hope that it will show up in your activity when I answer. So feel free to send me an ask. So far, I've answered every one I've got, on any platform. The answer might be "no I'm not interested," but I haven't had one that I'm feeling even the asking is not OK.
Do you have things you won't answer?
This is the "Things that you should not tell a stranger on the internet," section.
Yes, there's things that I won't answer, at least while you're a stranger:
Where are you located?
What's your age?
What's your sex? (these are what were called ASL questions, and while often asked, have never really been considered appropriate)
What's your real name?
Are you ??? when the thing being asked is a really complicated thing with no yes/no answer?
What is your phone number?
Can you contact me on x other platform (maybe, but most of the time I literally can't I've tried, and people have gotten mad at me for saying no)?
That's not the whole list, but it's enough for now.
Take care everyone... I wasn't sure I was going to get this in a form I was happy with, but here we are.
***THANK YOU TUMBLR FOR MESSING ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO PROPERLY FORMAT POSTS***

AITA for blocking my business partner and our mutual friends?
First of all, I want to establish that I'm not an idiot. I don't think I'm the smartest person in the world, I didn't do very well in school, and I'm generally a bit forgetful. I've been struggling with undiagnosed mental illness and neurodivergency for my entire life. My family growing up was very anti therapy and I've only recently brought anything up to a doctor. However, I like to think I manage myself pretty well. I have my own systems for doing things, and they may be unconventional, but it works. I've come to terms with the fact that no matter what I do, I'm going to have to work a lot harder than the average person and get a lot less credit. That's just how it is. I have two jobs, one of which is at a restaurant, and the other is a business that I started with my friend. It's still fairly small and local, but I'm really proud of how far it's come.
Me and my business partner, we'll call her Shelly, have a group of friends that we hang out with from time to time. I honestly don't like them very much, but Shelly, who has been my best friend for over a decade really enjoys hanging out with them, so though I've expressed to her that I want to start seeing them less, I've stayed friends with them, both to make Shelly happy and to avoid any drama that might be caused.
Among this group of friends is someone we'll call Dianne. Dianne will insult and berate me consistently, and then insist it was a joke. Nobody has ever laughed, and I have told Dianne that I don't find any of it funny. The other members of the friend group (aside from Shelly) said that this is just how she expresses that she likes somebody, and tried to make it seem like playful banter, but the insults are incredibly one-sided (I've never said an ill word about her to any of them, and especially not to her. I'm not rude.) and she never insults anyone but me and sometimes Shelly.
Recently ( a couple months or so ago) she started taking digs at my intelligence, as I have been a few minutes late to a couple of our hangouts, and I have trouble with my left and right. I said explicitly that I don't like it when people treat me like an idiot. I tried to be polite, but I won't stand for that. Also, being late and directions are very common things for people to struggle with, so I don't understand why that insinuates that I'm at all unintelligent. She also may have gotten this idea because I don't tend to laugh at her jokes, which are mostly things like "that's what she said" and other cheap and immature sex jokes. She usually tries to brush off the fact that I don't laugh by saying I must be dumb because I don't get her jokes. I do, they're just not very clever and I clearly have a different sense of humor than her.
I just kept trying to avoid any sort of conflict, because the rest of the group makes Shelly really happy. But then it started to get worse. The whole group seemed to be influenced by these jokes, and stopped expecting me to be able to do anything. I wasn't even the designated driver anymore, even though I'm usually the obvious choice because I don't drink. Dianne told me I'd probably crash because she didn't think I could read street signs. I've driven her home multiple times (during none of which she's been sober enough to remember my driving ability) and I've never driven at all irresponsibly while any of them were in the car. The whole group, aside from Shelly, began making jokes about how I was the resident airhead. For my birthday, Dianne got me a toddler sippy cup, and a card that said "Congrats, you're 2!". Get it. Because I'm so stupid I'm basically a child. Ha ha. So funny I forgot to laugh.
The last straw for me was when Shelly sent me a business email that was like "Are you going to be able to get the books done in time?" and basically told me to make sure I wasn't lazy when it came to keeping track of the sales, even though I've never been late with that kind of stuff. I really care about our business, and I keep track of all of the financials and do our taxes. I don't have a degree or anything, I could never afford college, so I emailed Shelly back very passive-agressively about how if she doesn't think I can do it in time, she can hire a real accountant.
We met with the friendgroup the next day and I was incredibly pissed. Dianne made another dig at me, something about our business probably going under because I'm too incompetent to do anything. I snapped. In the midst of yelling at her, I said "I am not stupid. You don't get to treat me like I am." and she said "But aren't you, though?" and I stormed out. I blocked everyone, except for Shelly.
I texted Shelly and said that she could be friends with whoever she wants, but that I'm never speaking to any of them ever again. Shelly said that I was being overdramatic, and that they're all being awkward to her now because they know that we're such good friends. I apologized for putting her in a position where she felt like she was in the middle, but told her that I was not about to take any more of that treatment. I told her I'm disappointed that after all this time, she let other people dictate the way that she sees me. When her new friends call me stupid, I can let it slide off of my back, but when my best friend of over a decade starts treating me like I'm incompetent and I can't get anything done, that really hurts. She told me that I need to learn to take a joke. I blocked her too after that. We've continued having meetings and being mostly civil, but we haven't spoken outside of that, and all the friendship is gone.
I'm mostly concerned about how this situation is going to affect our business, because I have worked so hard and I'd hate to see it fail because of petty drama and insults. I'm now feeling like I made a huge mistake by blowing up. Should I have just kept quiet to protect my job and friendship?
What are these acronyms?

So I was thinking more about the dragons in Final Fantasy XIV, as I am wont, and decided to go on a bit of a ramble.
We joke a lot about Midgarsormr being the WoL's dad, which he kind of is from how he treats you. Or rather, he treats you like he would a fledgling dragon. Dragons don't seem to show affection for their young the way humans do. I'm not saying they don't care, but I get the feeling that a dragon hatchling straight out of the egg is more than capable of taking down small game like rabbits and chickens.
But during the story when you're running around he won't get involved because, eh, you've got this. And you won't learn anything if you don't handle it yourself. So fight your own battles, kiddo.
Which actually fits what we see of FFXIV dragons and their mindset, especially the scraps we see of their homeworld and their nature. Dragons are more or less a triumph of evolution because they're incredibly adaptable. Their bodies spontaneously mutate at developmental tiers to address environmental factors, so you get a huge variation in phenotypes among one species, and if pressed can do so with extreme speed. Like the dragon kid in that crafting turn-in questline. She evolved thumbs and grasping hands as part of basically hitting dragon puberty, a thing that no dragon to the best of her knowledge had before. I can only imagine what environmental pressures pressed them to evolve in that way, or if it's a trait common to species from their planet. But either way, it makes sense that Midgarsormr would have this kind of attitude: to him that's how dragons grow strong and overcome things.
It's why he stripped you of most of Hydalen's protections and tossed you in the deep end, leaving the Traveler's Ward mostly as a courtesy to Hydalen, because from his perspective that's how you learn. You hurl yourself at challenges and overcome them and adapt to your environment. While they'll work together because it's demanded of them or out of mutual self-interest, they're by nature individualists and rising and falling by their own strength. Which is what weirds them out about humans: humans are collective. We're small and find strength by, well, cheating. Instead of growing bigger muscles or adapting ourselves to the world, we build tools to increase our leverage. Air is too cold? Sew heavy clothes. Mountain too high? Invent grapple lines and climbing shoes. Powerful enemy? Swarm them with numbers and bring them down by hitting them from every direction. River floods? Change the river with the strength of thousands.
I like to think that's what fascinated Ratatoskr about humanity. I also think it's part of why Midgarsormr and the others seem to sort of like the Warrior of Light in their own way. The WoL, to them, is somewhere in between man and dragon in their thinking by being a paragon of humankind. The WoL's constant need to hurl themselves into the breach and grow stronger by doing so feels natural to them. It makes sense. I really wish the game would spend more time exploring how they're slowly integrating with humanity. But then I'd probably happily have an entire story or game just around the humans and dragons slowly getting the hang of each other and what they can build together.

- I personally don't give a shit if an au self comes around, but don't force it into the canon please, time and place! But come say hi whenever!
- I'm fine with being adressed in ooc and will sign my name with ooc brackets, but just cuz im ok with it doesn't mean you should start pressuring other people to do the same. Some people wanna remain anon and thats perfectly ok :)
- Alsoooo~ Cuz this is an au, ill be tagging things [besides act 0] in their respective acts 🫡
Bye Bye!! ~

🍩💘🥹🌹💍Pac18+ What’s The Dynamic Between You & Your FS Getting To Know Each Other In This Life? 🌸💋💕🌸✨
Take a moment to breathe in and out. Relax your mind! Remember this is a general reading. This is a short reading. Also, I do a tarot readings as well. If any of you have questions about that there's your answer. Enjoy the reading🌸💋🤭🥹.
Paid Readings
Pile 1: In this life, the way how you and your FS get to know each other is so beautiful. You two bring each other's warm cozy vibes. The vibration between you two is very intense. You love being next to them and they love being next to you. They only see you in their dreams. Maybe, because you can't rush into being together with them. I can sense that one of you might rush this. I sense that shit from you. I know that it happens when you are in the moment but when you get out of that moment. You realize that I was rushing without thinking before you make a move. Was a slap across your face. Remember it's not just you it is about them too as well. They like you🤭. Oh okay, so in the beginning you can't rush into sleeping with them. Since the card came out Friend as Benefits. Oh yeah, they'll be texting you all the time. They love hanging out with you. When you both get to know each other in this life, they'll be kissing your hand. Want you to spend the night at their house or yours. Anything for you. I see the mutual feelings between them. When they hang out with you. Oh my god! They'll be telling their friends about you. Like all the time. I can see you doing the same thing with them. This connection between you and them is playful and intense. See! That cozy vibe when you two are around each other. It's like when they hang out with you, they feel relaxed, and vice versa. They'll be courting you, giving you compliments, and fucking buying you flowers. I can see that they'll be impressed when you buy them flowers. I can see them right now laughing 😅 and blushing at the same time. Oh, dang! I'm gagging right now. So yes, my fault you will be sleeping with them. So this will be your friend that you are sleeping with. I don't think that they'll be telling their friends about y'all sex life. But they will be talking about how you make them feel. I can see that with you too. It's like I can see you guys having that big-ass smile on your face to your friends. If you have homegirls, gay friends, or whatever but you won't nonstop talk about them and vice versa. You'll feel so welcome with them. In this life, while you both getting to know each other, they would wanna be in a relationship with you. I heard that you both will make up a code for each other. I don't know it's a like a code for something you two will make up. In my opinion, that's fucking awesome to me. OMG 😱, they are such a crybaby. You'll know that when you get to know them. Honestly, in my opinion, I like crybabies. Because they ain't afraid to show their emotions. So whenever you two argue or whatever they'll cry about it. Because they are very sensitive. I just heard that “Their emotions matter” So you are going to like that about them. They won't hide their emotions from you. They'll honestly tell you how they feel. I feel that some of you, are probably crybaby. In all honesty, I fucking tip my hat to the crybabies🥹🥲💋. Feel those tears. Both of you will be playing and fighting a lot. Haha 😂 the chemistry between you two is amazing. You won't feel weird around them, or vice versa. They'll be inviting you to stay over at their place. I can see them saying to you “Oh just stay over. It's okay you don't have to go home tonight.” So basically, what I'm saying is that they'll find excuses for you to stay over at their house. Again, welcome! Both of you will welcome each other. You both will be flirty texting each other. They'll ask you out again on a second date together. Maybe, they'll take you out for ice 🍨 on y'all second date. Awe. Y'all will be disconnecting the world and from family. Don't feel bad. It's okay that you both are into each other. 🥹🌸🥹🌸🥹🌸🥹🌸. You'll be ready to work with them and vice versa whatever project you guys decide to do together. It will be lit. Ahh! Both of you never felt this way about anyone. I'm talking about your past exes, friends, family, and shit even co-workers. Aww, they are such a gentleman. Rare Connection! Woah your connection with them is very rare. That means it is different. Can't be described.
No one wouldn't know how to describe this connection. Even I can't. This one was a long pile. Omg 🙊! This is your past life's best friend. This is your best friend you getting to know again. You'll be traveling with them and traveling to exotic places. Island. Wow, not only this is your best friend but this is your high-vibe soulmate. Both of you will be on a vibrational level. Fucking incredible. They love getting to know in this life. Your FS will be excited. That's is y'all dynamic in this life with each other.
Pile 2: Woah I can see that they would wanna make you feel special. Shit, they already going to make you feel special. Awe 🤭🤭. They'll be blushing and texting you all the time while getting to know you. The dynamic between y'all I see it being a good idea. Both of you love texting each other no matter what. But the second they wake up in the rising they'll be picking up their phone and texting you. They just always wanna talk to you. Both of you love hanging out together. They must be funny. They love your energy. You are a great company to them. A few of you will be ready to work with them. Woah Masculine Awakening. Oh, holy snap! You are going to activate them. I don't know what it is. But you definitely will. The more you two hang out with each other the more feelings for you two is deep. So that's why they just wanna hang out with you all the time. See! They wanna get to know you a little more. On a deeper level. This dynamic makes me feel that you two will be dating quickly. Getting Ice 🍨 together. Going out camping and hiking together. Probably doing yoga on top of a mountain. Yes!!! I was right, haha I love my intuition. Both of you will be disconnected from the world, family, and work. Gasp 😱😱😱🤭. They might say the three-letter words to you..... Holy fuck! Geez that was fast. I was right, they are going to say I love you or you might say it. Beautiful feelings you both share. Nothing but good vibes from you two getting to know each other in this life. Yes, playing fighting. Both of you will do anything to touch each other. I mean anything. Haha 😂 you guys flirt with each other. But this is such a pure innocent connection. Sweet talking. Aww, they'll be charming with you. I can see y'all talking on the couch while they are staring into your eyes. Them touching your knee. I swear. Oh okay, this dynamic they'll be possessive over you. But let me not say possessive. I would say clingy. Anything to be next to you or get closer to you. Woah 🥹 this is a bit similar to Pile 1. If some of you connect with pile one check it out. Rising text message. Wow, fucking incredible. No wonder they are going to be good at texting you all the time. Because they love your company. You'll be doing the same thing with them. You guys will welcome each other quickly. This is a soulmate connection. The bond you two have it's like you guys would already know. Overflowing love. It's going to be so much love in this dynamic between you both. So much. OMG 😱 I would wanna cry. What did I say? Huh 😨 touching you. Confirmation!!! Both of you love touching each other. Not sexual but hugging, play fighting, handshakes, etc. Anything to touch you and vice versa.
Pile 3: The dynamic between you and your FS in this life together. This is your high-vibe soulmate. That means both of you have to be on a high vibrational level. On top of that, this is your soulmate. I don't like to do the labels but yeah, this is what the cards said. Anyways, while you two get to know each other. This is your past life friend🌹💣. This is your best friend that incarnated down here to be with you. While you getting to know them and they are getting to know you again. In this life. So that means you two will hit off getting to know each other again. For you two y'all never felt this way about anyone. It was like an instant connection. They only see you in their dream. I feel that you'll get to know them on your first date with them. You two will enjoy each other's company🥲. Laughing and giggling. They'll give you compliments and also you will too. Y'all both will be friendly to each other💕. I think on y'all the first date you two will go out of town together. Traveling to different places. I sense that you two will go out of town a lot together. They would wanna get to know you a little more. See! This dynamic is a soulmate connection. So both of you already know y'all each other soulmate. The feelings for you two are getting strong and deeper. While you getting to know them, you're feeling for them are getting deeper. I think that it's going to start getting on a deeper level on y'all second date. Masculine Awakening. Again you'll activate them. While you getting to know them. You'll start seeing them evolving. Maturing so much better. You'll be so impressed by them. You two will be holding hands together. Again confirmation! High-Vibe Soulmate. This is very important to remember this. I know this is a general reading. But wow. This is your Past Life’s Best Friend. This is your friend no wonder you two felt the pull to each other. They'll love hanging out with you and spending the nights with you. I feel that you'll be spending the night at their house a lot. Look at that 11:11. Confirmation!!!!!! They'll love making you feel special💕🥴. You'll know how they make you feel special. Once you two had stepped into each other's lives they only see you in their dreams. Constantly dreaming about you. While you two getting to know each other in this life it's like you two love touching each other. Y'all can't keep y'all hands off each other. This connection between you two is very rare. It's like no tarot reader wouldn't know how to describe it. Because it's like only you two would. When you guys are into each other it's like wow. When you guys get to know each other in this life. You two bring magic to each other. Your magic and they are too. Two magical people coming together is like a bomb 💣 but in a good way💍🕯. You two will be texting each other all the time. They just want to hang out with you only. Just you. In my opinion, there isn't anything wrong with that.
Pile 4: Woah, the dynamic with you two is fucking intense. But I can sense it being sexual. So you'll be sexually teasing them. They will be too. While you getting to know them you two will be dating in secret. So it will be quick dating 🧑🏾❤️💋🧑🏾. But nobody isn't going to know about it. You'll be feeling right at home with them. They'll feel comfortable with you and vice versa. When you two get to know each other in this life they'll start telling their friends about you. This is a bit similar to Pile 1. You have a soulmate connection with them. Because you two see a future with each other. Especially, them. They see a future with you. See how crazy that is. Overflowing love. You two are going to feel like you guys are flowing in the sky together. You both will disconnect from the world and your family. I think that it's going to be just y'all two. Only. Y'all energies combine. You two will be holding hands together. Instant passion and steamy sex! Woah very intense. Either you or they will be saying the three-letter words. But I know you guys will have some crazy sex! It seems like these piles 2, 3, and this pile that your Future spouses will be telling their friends about you. That is a good thing. Damn! While you getting to know them. Instant passion and some hot steamy sex. You two will be friendly to each other. I mean 😏 friendly. Laughing and giggling. You'll make each other laugh 😅 and just have a good time. Making memories. When you two get to know each other, they'll lead in and kiss you first. Muah 💋. I think that you'll be blushing. In this life with them. I can see you two making each other feel very special. Texting every rising. Again, MASCULINE AWAKENING. This dynamic with your FS it's very important. They will evolve so much. 🙏🏾🙏🏾. When you get to know them you'll make each other feel special. I think that's why this dynamic in this life is super important. Very important.

Hi I'm unwell. Another long post probably, thank you @es46 for giving me an idea !! click readmore for accidental aroace rants plus some silly shenanigans (the aroace rants happened on accident my bad)
So I one million percent agree that Ingo and Emmet would probably clock Elesas crush right away, even if they are aroace themselves, they see Elesa as a sister basically and know how she is (useless lesbian (she is bisexual w/ a woman leaning preference)) I definitely think of them as a trio who grew up together so they probably watched her go through her awkward teen years getting crushes on every pretty woman who was nice to her, but Skyla is a different situation obviously so they mutually agree to come at it from a different angle this time, much to Elesas dismay
I think Emmet would be super direct about it but think he's being slick because he isn't SAYING what he really means, right? But saying "I am asking for no reason in particular if you are single and also into women :>" and then dropping a "thank you for answering my random question that has no ulterior motive!" and Skyla would be like . Uh huh. Okay . (I don't know her personality SUPER well but I know she and the twins have slight beef over the more superior form of transportation planes v trains)
Emmet would also definitely try to be a "just go for it why are you so scared??" kinda guy because his concept of romance is heavily based on how he's seen it in media, but he hates watching it so it's really only the stuff he can't avoid? So hes like "obviously most relationship drama comes from not confessing so just get that part over with before it causes an issue" and doesn't ENTIRELY understand the nuance of being scared of rejection even if the other person seems interested (as well as adding on the sapphic problem of "is she flirting or just Really Friendly?")
I think Ingo is a little (lot) more empathetic than Emmet, not on purpose I just think Emmet genuinely lacks empathy and forgets to make up for it with sympathy at times, Elesa doesn't take it personally, but Ingo is absolutely a little more in tune to a social situation being stressful
Ingo, though, is also painfully aroace and his concept of love and romance is less whst you see in (straight) media and moreso in how he's defined it personally as somebody whose never felt it . He imagines it feels different from how he cares about Elesa, but she has to explain it's not that easy to really differentiate, because to love somebody you also usually love them a lot platonically as well as romantically. And that would absolutely perplex him just a smidge, because he sees love as this unreachable thing for him that's so distinct from everything else when it's really not. People just hype it up so much because of how it feels in the moment, but in reality it's actually rather difficult to define and Ingo thrives off precise definition.
He would encourage her to go for it, maybe a bit too obviously at times (no Ingo, deciding to loudly exclaim that you and your brother have somewhere to be, conveniently leaving Elesa alone with Skyla is not slick as you think it is!)
Ingo and Emmet would also absolutely try to set aside whatever feelings they have on Skyla and fully support Elesa in her relationship until the 4 actually managed to start getting along naturally, which happens eventually, it just takes time because the twins are very stubborn
It would absolutely lead to scenarios though where the twins are just a bit too pushy out of love and Elesa would probably have to tell them to back off, because romance is finicky and you have to let it happen naturally or else things get janky. I don't think they would fully get it until put into a train metaphor though
"If you try and run a train before the tracks fully built, or the engine is installed properly, even if it goes somewhere for a little while it likely won't reach it's destination" and they both go ohhhh.
Honestly I think that metaphor Ingo would come up with on the spot in an attempt to relate or process what Elesa is trying to explain, and then once they hear it everything clicks much better and they back off from trying to "speed things up", though in true assholeish brother-y nature, they have to bully her juuuust a little bit (Emmet going "WOW ELESA your face sure is red, is it too hot in here? Maybe you and Skyla should step outside for some fresh air :>" and Elesa making a strangling motion with her hands while Ingo is fighting off a laugh.
I do think that it would earn some laughs once Skyla and Elesa are actually together, and Skyla would probably have to drop the fact that she was painfully aware of the brothers attempts to push them together, much to Elesas horror

@takenbynumbers: tseng for the ask game - 13, 24, 35, 44. :)
[For the Random Character Asks game.]
13. Dumbest thing they’ve ever done?
Canonically? Probably that time he messed up that mission with Veld and almost got them both killed. (The one that leads to one of my favorite lines from Veld, which basically translates to "...They say that subordinates are a lot like their superiors, so maybe I'm still naive, too.")
Headcanon? When Tseng was about seventeen he once accidentally stole one of Veld's extremely expensive pens after a group meeting, didn't realize it until two days later when he found it in his desk drawer, and proceeded to spend the next week trying to sneak it back into Veld's desk instead of just telling him that he'd accidentally walked away with it.
After a series of failed attempts that landed three colleagues in trouble (all of whom insisted that they would willingly sacrifice themselves to keep Tseng out of trouble because Turks are and have always been ride-or-die, even in exceptionally ridiculous situations), the incident was resolved when Reno finally just took the pen from Tseng, slipped it into his pocket, and walked into the armory.
A few seconds later he walked back out, holding up the pen like a lighter at a concert. "Hey, Chief! Isn't this like your sixth-favorite 'I'm a rich bastard' pen? I don't think it goes in the materia locker."
As it turned out, Veld had been so busy over the past week and a half that he hadn't even noticed it was missing. He thanked Reno, theorizing that he'd accidentally carried it in there himself when getting kitted out for a field assignment, and just accidentally left it in the locker.
(This event may be why Reno was given the vice director position upon Tseng's promotion within the department, but neither of them will confirm or deny the possibility.)
(Also I know the Ultimania says that Reno is 25 during the Crisis but that makes absolutely no sense with the timeline of the Compilation so I reject this as soundly as I reject Sephiroth being born in 1980.)
24. Most annoying habit?
For simple habits, like tics, Tseng tends to use fountain pens not because of any preference of his own, but because he will fidget with click pens or snap the lid on and off capped pens over and over and over until everyone around him wants to strangle him alive. Veld got him into fountain pens so that he'd stop doing that during mission briefs and meetings.
For more complex issues, as indicated in the story above, Tseng is horribly indirect in social situations. This is doubly true when he thinks someone else has a problem with him, which leads to him asking questions of mutual acquaintances, making observations and constructing timelines to try to figure out whether he or the other party is in the wrong, and overthinking every previous interaction he can think of instead of just asking the other person what's going on.
This is less annoying for the people who don't realize it's happening, but for everyone else there's a lot of "Just ask him. Oh my god. Just ask him what's wrong! Tseng you are THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD just ASK HIM if he's mad at you!"
35. Their idea of a perfect day?
Even with alarms off, Tseng wakes up a little after sunrise, even on the weekend. He rolls over, slings his arm over Reeve in bed and stays there until Reeve wakes up about an hour later. They get up, Reeve checks his phone—Tseng takes it from him, because they're off work today. He goes through Reeve's notifications, snoozes all of them for 48 hours, then gives him back his phone.
Reeve makes coffee while Tseng makes sure Cait Sith is set on assignments for the day, and then both and and Reeve see him off for the day. Cait Sith won't connect directly with Reeve except in an emergency, and Tseng isn't worried about that; he can take care of himself, and things are quiet these days anyway. The biggest problems they have to deal with these days are ordinary people with legal agreements, not overpowered superhumans with lethal aggression.
Tseng gets dressed before Reeve, because Reeve likes to shower first thing in the morning and Tseng likes to shower before he goes to bed. He makes breakfast while Reeve is washing up, and gets a call from Reno that he's letting Elena off early today because she has a date. It'll mean they're running a little skinny through the weekend, but the mission board is almost empty so he's not pressed about it. Tseng says that's all right, he trusts Reno's judgment, and he'll talk to him on Monday.
He pages through the worst gossip rag in Junon while Reeve eats breakfast, periodically turning the magazine around to ask if Reeve thinks a particular photo of this or that public figure was taken by Kunsel. Reeve agrees with him every time, except for the one of Vincent, and they both admit that Kunsel is too scared of Vincent to have done that. They spend some time theorizing who would have taken the chance, going well past the point that breakfast is done, but don't reach a consensus before an alarm goes off and it's time to head out.
Up on the roof of the WRO's executive housing facility, Tseng and Reeve load up one of the organization's aircars—like an airship, but stripped down to the smallest versions of the barest essentials until it's not quite the length of a travel trailer—and spend the next few hours in the sky. The autopilot gives Tseng some time to read, although it always makes Reeve anxious. This is funny, singe Reeve helped develop the aircar in the first place, so he knows there's no risk of them going down just because Tseng took his eyes off the instruments for a few minutes, and Tseng teases him about it until Reeve begrudgingly concedes.
They touch down in Costa, but not on the landing pad—not even properly in town, instead settling just past the cliffs that divide the commercial, public beaches with the less-accessible stretch of shoreline to the north. Reeve unloads the aircar and Tseng sets up, propping up an umbrella, unfolding chairs and draping them in towels, situating the cooler and pulling out one of those cheap premade smoothies-in-a-pouch for lunch. He gets changed while Reeve has his own lunch, and they spend the rest of the day at the beach; around sunset they get back in the car (leaving all those things they brought on the sand, no one can get here except from the air and everything is replaceable anyway) to head into town, where they get dinner from a food truck on the side of the road as they walk from the landing pad to the hotel where they'll spend the night.
Tomorrow afternoon, they'll head home. But for a little over 24 hours, there's nothing but sunshine and sand and water, ice melting in a plastic cooler, slightly-uncomfortable folding chairs and sand-crusted towels. No work, no responsibilities, no crises to avert.
And when Tseng goes back to work on Monday, he'll remember exactly why that work is worth doing, which feels pretty perfect to him.
44. Their happiest memory?
I would say that Tseng doesn't have a lot of happy memories, but that's not really it. The thing is that for Tseng, happiness is a fleeting, finite thing; contentment is possible eventually, but happiness is different, happiness is deeper, and it isn't until after the world has come to and end multiple times that he finds it in a more permanent sense. Before that, his happiest memories are...not what most people would consider pleasant? But they're happy nonetheless.
Pinned under rubble when he was too young and too naive to know when to give up, sure that he was going to die, and then having Veld show up to save him after insisting over and over that he wouldn't.
Security footage taken from Kalm, seeing Aerith under a blue sky for the first time and knowing that it was where she was meant to be, that she was finally getting to see the world that belonged to her.
Sitting in the forest outside the Forgotten Capital, bruised and bleeding after days of torture at the hands of the Remnants, watching Vincent work on treating Elena's injuries—first, before Tseng, because she was unconscious and he wasn't—and eventually turn to Tseng and declare without a hint of uncertainty that she would pull through.
If asked, Tseng would say that he has a lot of happy memories. Nobody else would think they're happy at all.

I will bite. what's the deeptrain concept?
yes.... come nibble on my bait, my pretties
basically, it's an expansion on that one trans!A-Train fic I wrote
with big ol' warnings for Deep and A-Train both being kinda awful people, misgendering, blackmail, and rape that one party does not realize is rape (but it probably wouldn't stop them anyway)
I just think it would be very fun if Deep had twigged that SOMETHING was up with the way A-Train reacted in that fic. He cracked his two braincells together and got 'trans' as the result.
So obviously, he goes to mock A-Train about it.
Only he doesn't really Believe In Trans PeopleTM so he absolutely treats him differently and acts way more 'horny guy' around him than he usually would - with the intention being purely to piss him off, because they have that sort of fun fucked-up relationship. From his perspective, anyway.
but A-Train is so used to their mutual blackmail/bickering thing that he assumes Deep is saying 'sleep with me or I'll out you'
so he sleeps with him
and like, Deep wasn't saying that, but also.... he's the sort of guy who probably would say that. He greatly enjoys himself. A-Train pretends to enjoy himself out of sheer spite despite not wanting to do this in the slightest. And so, they start a really messed up fuckbuddy thing where Reggie thinks Kevin is blackmailing him into sex but he refuses to let him see how much it's affecting him, while Kevin is slooooowly developing feelings for him (and slooooooowly learning to respect him as a trans man on the way)
I think it would be great fun if Kevin genuinely went on a self-improvement arc and became a much better person but Reggie still fucking hates his guts throughout and maybe flat-out murders him at the end?? But I'm open to options. It certainly won't be a cute get-together fic tho, and there would be A LOT of Problematique Content sldfhglsdhk

I had some thoughts, but they vanished at "furen, you fucked me so hard I can still feel it." And you're so right, Xiaobao may be elliptical, but he has moments of shining sex pest potential, like when he asks Huaien to basically lick the taste of medicine from his mouth.
Speaking of that medicine. So, we know how certain Tumblr user guzhufuren is reading our "plot," right? This ask is all their fault (affectionate). Idk if you have seen the video they keep reblogging, of this one guy (or ANGEL) sweetly on his knees at the club or in the cab and someone gently giving him a shot and patting his cheek. I don't know if this makes sense or if it's just my lizard brain, but parallels between this and Huaien making Xiaobao drink the medicine from the bowl are being drawn. And the more I think about this, the more I think getting Xiaobao drunk or consensually giving him aphrodisiac or whatever would play very nicely into their Big Trust scheme. Also, degradation/praise works here too, because Huaien can tease an absolutely sloppy and horny Xiaobao that he's incorrigible, how is he just the same when he's sober, always desperate to be fucked and ready to grovel. Probably he's notably more desperate and disoriented while drugged up but hey, whatever gets him to come untouched from the sheer tension!
BUT I ALSO HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT INTOXICATED HUAIEN. Xiaobao probably has thoughts about intoxicated Huaien. These have not yet hatched. Trying to think of how to incorporate these without accidentally making someone (Huaien) sad in the process. Giving up control like that may be a trigger?
The actual chemsex, though. A lot of their games are about power and control and one of them riling the other up, but maybe very very very occasionally, even just a handful of times, theh both get a little fucked up and desperate. Idk what fantasy drug will get them there without being too dangerous, but I'm thinking mutual desperation, no games no pretense, room spinning, everything hazy, franctic energy. And then languid and syrupy when they’re coming down from it.
I hope this is not too much in a bad way! Idk how you feel about recretional drug use in fiction. All in all I feel like Huaibao maybe don't do drugs or alcohol a lot bcs canonically it's not been great (think Xiaobao's brothel shenanigans and Huaien drinking away his gay little feelings), but maybe indulging together is a trust thing. Why is everything about trust to me????
Why did this get so long. I fear myself.
I didn't remember which video you were talking about, so I tracked it down (this one, right?) and, yes, I absolutely see what you mean. Firstly, the obedient puppy energy is very Xiaobao. He will drink the shot, make a little face, and then politely drink another one—before asking Huaien if he wants to have a little taste from Xiaobao's mouth. (because Huaien won't drink unless the alcohol is in Xiaobao's mouth? is this anything?) I can totally see Huaien getting Xiaobao drunk, just so that he's a little out of it, a little pliant and glassy eyed and easy with the drunkenness, and Huaien sometimes takes him home and sometimes takes him somewhere else. I don't thiiiink he gets Xiaobao drunk enough that he blacks out or loses track of time (he could! but I don't think that's quite the energy?) It's more about getting Xiaobao to the desperate place where he'll say anything, do anything, ask for anything he wants faster.
I cannot imagine Huaien drunk for non-cranky or non-sad reasons, but I am willing to be shown. persuaded. paint me a word picture!!! (although now I am imagining Xiaobao finding a maudlin drunk Huaien and trying to comfort him and I'm not saying it devolves into sex but. ok I might be saying that actually. but it's surprisingly tender comfort sex.)
Chemsex wise, the only jianghu party drug I can think of is Word of Honor's canonical poppers (not used for partying bc Prince Jin is No Fun), but tbh I was imagining, like, fantasy ecstasy? Very much on the fun non-dangerous side of the party drug spectrum where it's more languid marathon sex and then sleeping it off in each other's arms. It's always about trust! Huaibao is about two little guys who shouldn't trust each other doing just that!
ok side question how do we feel about Huaien bottoming bc i had a Thought and now it is haunting me
#i'm totally cool with recreational drug use irl or in fiction broadly speaking but#also a control freak with no experience of it#your girl gets too anxious to enjoy weed gummies#i fell asleep when i did molly#not the fun friend at the party XD
