Hey wait why doesn't Mechanic x Vangelis have a cool cryptic ship name like Glacier, Hotwire, etc? Until someone comes up with a better idea, I tentatively dub them bastardshipping (for obvious reasons).

bastardshipping

Also really worth mentioning: love how Mitch brushes off Nameless' hand after the shoulder pat, but he could not be less assed. he puts it back immediately lmao

If they never planned to have more scenes with them like this then what even was the point

[swampythesweetsketch]

Just two guys having a nice, platonic walk with platonic intentions and planning a platonic lunch date so one of them can be more acquainted with the other's son and totally keep a platonic, professional relationship with his dad who is also his platonic co-worker.

...

And then they kiss. Platonically.

i know almost nothing abt bleach but szayelaporro's name looks like what would happen if you tried to subtitle a guitar solo

pretty sure this is how they ended up localizing the arrancar names

[mrsdesaulnier-moved]

when miss rona is over you Will show me sonic adventure. also uh *flower emoji* for whomever

Dude I will gladly show you SA, that game and SA2 were my childhood 👏👀❤️ As for the 🌺, how about the panini man??

Antonio isn’t my most talked about f/o, sure, but he’s still an important part of the big polyship ❤️ Might I also just say that this guy is like 7 feet tall and sold his soul to the devil so that his violin skills would leave him unmatched?? That’s cool as hell, like where do I sign up to smooch this man 👀❤️ And going up against an Antonio that knows how to use him well whilst hearing a distant violin signalling your impending doom?? Oof- 😳👀❤️ Just sucks that I can’t play him for shit D:

[rateelism]

I guess the BNHA!AU just owns my ass. And cameos from the lovely Raven and Mikey ( @thelucariosfish ).

HIM... listen these two screenshots just. ooohhh they make me feel a WAY 

[apothecarywormcrud]

❤️🧡💜 for whoevers hitting the sick dab in ur icon

❤️ - How affectionate is your f/o?

more affectionate than astoria likes, especially when they’re trying to focus on something or out on business. captain hazama is a cad and a bastard with no qualms about abusing the fuck out of the fact that his corporal is kinda into him. astoria, likewise, has no qualms about gently stabbing the man if he gets too forward. (this is considered completely acceptable behavior. sometimes your superior officer kisses you on the cheek to be a little bastard and you knife him in the kidney and that’s just how it be.)

💜 - How do your f/o and s/i flirt?

astoria doesn’t flirt on purpose, but they can never resist a snide comeback. hazama “flirts” by pointing out behaviors that could be considered, how you say, kinda gay. also by killing them repeatedly but like, in a sexy kinda way.

🧡 - What’s an unpopular opinion you have about your f/o?

dan i am SO glad you asked and also i’d like to apologize in advance because boy do i have some THOUGHTS. on hazama’s wasted potential. he gets written off as your standard edgy bastard out to cause problems on purpose, which is true, but he could’ve had a really interesting character arc, had mori not completely dropped the ball on centralfiction. 

up until centralfiction, hazama has spent his entire life as the host for a god of destruction. their souls were meant to merge, but didn’t, and hazama remained functionally his own person (though a lot of characters refer to him as terumi regardless of who’s fronting, and hazama frequently refers to things terumi has felt or done as though they were his own experiences. that’s something for a whole different analysis). 

it’s only at the end of the third game that he’s fully severed from terumi, and the attack responsible brought us titty hole tuesday and marks the first time he’s felt true physical pain. this is ALSO the point when being mistaken for terumi starts annoying him. and like, the concept of “vessel split from the being he was made to house finally has the opportunity to discover who he is an individual” is fucking fascinating, but because this is the last game and we’ve wasted all our time on spinoff character cameos nobody cares about and need to wrap things up, let’s just throw all that into the trash and have one of our primary antagonists spend his last few moments torturing someone for no clearly-defined reason other than like, “for funsies,” before throwing himself into an interdimensional gateway to effectively die. 

*deep breath* AND ANOTHER THING—

the main issue with throwing yourself into the Boundary is that unless you have a strong enough will, it will destroy your identity. you’ll forget who you are and your soul will dissolve, which is a particularly cruel end for a character whose most recent plotline involved, y’know, finally getting to have an individual identity. also like. it’s the least interesting way he could’ve gone out. toshimichi mori your video game ending fucking sucks (this part is definitely not an unpopular opinion). 

anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk

[yourfaveisagayman]

could i get a fuckin uhhhhhhh gay sean macguire blease 🥺

working on it ! 

[transmimir]

endive and limerance with strauss. get flustered motherfucker

Okay ngl this ask made me spend like two hrs on blog maintenance bc i realized strauss isnt on the blog yet, then realized bumi wasnt either and that i hated my blogs current theme, so i just went thru and revamped like the Whole Thing lmfao. but! now i can answer!

Endive: IF I COULD DO ANYTHING WITH HIM FOR A DAY W/O MONEY ID TAKE HIM AND RUN THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE GANG LMFAO!! He is so anxious and sad about everything and i worry so much for him i just wanna take care of him and what he needs is a way out!!! he needs a normal life WAAAAAAAAH!!!! I’d buy a train ticket to somewhere far away and when we get wherever we’re going to ill buy a nice lil farm and then we’ll have a place to live happily ever after and its all OKAY FOREVER 

and now to answer limerance as hot n fresh new s/i, heres a letter from Zachariah Bell to Strauss ;)

Dear Leopold,

Now that I have started this, I’ve realized I do not actually know what I want to say. Hopefully, the things I will say will not come as a surprise. I mean, if the other folks here are starting to realize, I would think you would have too. And even more hopefully, you will feel the same way.

Leopold, I think you are the most wonderful man I have ever met. I think you are intelligent, and I know that you are not the man people say you are. You are not a good man, but I am not one either. It makes me more mad than you know that people hate you for what you do, when none of us are any better. We kill and rob people on the daily. We are all doing bad things, there is no reason you are worse than us. 

I am also defensive of you, because I know that my feelings are not that of friends. I have never felt as strongly for anyone like I’ve felt for you. Leopold, I am in love with you. Completely and truly. If other people want to see that as a heinous action, I am not afraid of it. I am already hated for the crimes I have committed. I am already hated for the way I feel about things. I am already hated just for the things I want to wear. I do not care if anyone hates me for the simple action of loving you.

I cannot tell if you feel the way for me that I feel for you. If you do not, I am sorry for ever writing this. We can forget about it completely if that is what you want, or if you just hate me after reading this, then I will stay away from you forever if you wish. If you do however feel this way for me, then please, let us talk in person about it sometime. Whenever you want to meet alone, just let me know. I look forward to your response.

With best regards (and with love, if you will allow it),

Zachariah Bell 

this deadass just turned into writing a confession letter huh. im gay ..,,.,,,

jaq and mary with steelbeak !

Thanks for the ask!!

Jaq and Mary: What’s something one of you has done in attempt to impress the other?

Here’s the thing about Scarlet, she doesn’t go out of her way to impress people. She doesn’t really need to try in all honesty. Steelbeak wasn’t too crazy about her when they first met, but those feelings turned around once she started standing up for him and told him she saw potential in him.

So that’s where Steelbeak starts to try and impress Scarlet.

She already sees potential in him, but he starts showing off whenever he can. He’ll swoop in and start fighting off their enemies even if Scarlet has it. He’ll flex his muscles (not very) subtly. He’ll wink and try to smooth talk her, even if it fails. He’s going to flaunt everything in his skill set just to try and get her to be more than acquaintances.

It kind of annoys her at first, but she starts growing a soft spot for him and his dumbassery. She finds it rather endearing.

Cryptor Comes In

A while after Zane was rescued from Chen's Island, the Ninja took things slow to regain some semblance of normalcy. With the new addition of Zeke, some things had to change.

For one, Jay was off Ninja work until his android son went to daycare. But in the meantime, Jay loved the quiet around the condo.

It was wonderful, as the team now had a nice place to rest. And Jay had the comfort to raise Zeke with no need to manage a tight budget.

Silly that years back the four failed in mentoring one child to even afford the humongous condo. And now money seemed to be a worry long forgotten.

Cyrus Borg being more than willing to keep the Ninja within city limits to keep the crime rate from climbing to the point it did when Zane was... MIA.

Well- they still budgeted cause Wu would massacre them if they spent money on takeout every night-

But that all changed when a phone call requested Jay to Borg Tower.

A project to restructure a portion of the tower's energy to shift to greener- more eco-friendly power, but the wiring was tricky and a bit frazzled since the Overlord Virus.

Jay is hesitant. He had his son to take care of, the others would still be working on other things than Ninja duties. But Cyrus assured him that the in-building daycare would be perfect for Zeke as other employees with their own android children would be present.

He agrees. And planning starts in a week. Jay is excited to do something other than parent duty. Yes he loved being a dad but he needed to stretch once in while!

The first day, Jay walked in to a familiar face.

Still stoic, but without mask or messed up edits to conform to the Overlord's tastes. His hair hidden by hood was now clean kempt and slicked back, save a few front strands that curled from his forehead.

"Cryptor?"

His waggish uniform was now more fitting akin to a bodyguard.

"Mr. Walker."

He was a bodyguard.

Jay fixed Zeke so the tiny android could cling to his collar. "You look good. Are you doing rounds on the ground floor today?"

"Negative, Borg assigned me to escort you inside the Tower to ensure any inner threats nor spies have access to you or your..." the onyx-skinned nindroid looked to Zeke.

"Oh- my son!" Jay held his baby boy up a bit higher in his held arm to press his cheek on Zeke's head. The baby's soft, synthetic hair tickling the tip of his nose. "This is Zeke, he's almost 7 months old!"

"Interesting. Not many parents of droids estimate their ages like you."

Jay blew Zeke's hair from his nose, but the fluffy mass again rested on his face. "Yeah well, I speed ran this little tyke's conception in 7 months. So exact timing kinda fell off my plate. Besides, he's my son. Not a appliance."

Cryptor raised a brow. "7 months? Doesn't development of a android take a year, at most for blueprinting and design refinement."

"Yeah well, I'm built different." Jay smirked as he walked to the elevator, Cryptor behind him.

"You have components?"

"Only the ones that make me annoying~"

If I have a major and two science minors, does that mean I'm a triple science bastard?

bastardship isn't cumulative but if you go to school for four more years you get to be the Master Bastard

*lightbulb* fr yakuza !!

I briefly mentioned this, but my Yakuza s/i is actually a fox spirit running around as a human to cause trouble. He’s a celtic fox spirit, so why is he in Japan? He got lost. Now he doesn’t know how to get back home so he’s just chilling in Sotenbori. Sometimes he sees other spirits around and talks to them because “oh cool we’re all spirits” but even the native spirits see him as a weird tourist and don’t really talk to him lksdajfkd

Yakuza is already such a weird game that I thought, why the hell couldn’t Kiryu talk to a fox spirit? Why the hell not?
