A/N: There are narrations after the 4th panel and the fifth panel is a video.
Ryomen Sukuna was one magnificent creature. You wouldn't let anyone contest you on that, not that you wished to convey your thoughts out loud for anyone to hear. You were happy thinking that way as you watched him play volleyball with his friends. Apparently, they all used to play in high school.
You didn't know a thing about the sport, the most you've watched it was when you're flipping channels through your TV, but the way he moved around the makeshift beach court keeping the ball afloat showed you yet another facet of him.
The object of your attention since the beginning of the game maneuvered his way around the sand with calculated dexterity and successfully scored another one by blocking the incoming ball and slamming onto the opposing team's court. You couldn't help but smile whenever he would get a point, your left hand curling into a fist when you should not be moving it or putting strain on it. You'd applaud if you could.
Sukuna was good looking, intelligent and athletic. No wonder girls chased after him, and you had to admit that he looked beyond cool when he's dishing moves. His friends were calling him rusty in volleyball, but to you who didn't have any idea what exactly was going on, he was just amazing.
But then, that wasn't all you were looking at. You can't exactly pay attention to the game itself when your eyes only trailed his figure. The sun beat down on him, causing him to sweat, a thin sheen of it making his sun-kissed, inked skin glimmer in the daylight. You haven't been more acutely aware of his impressive musculature the way you were at that moment, watching his powerful thighs flex whenever he jumped up.
It wasn't the first time you were seeing him shirtless given the time you woke up at his place, but you couldn't really pay attention during those other times. Now, you had a full view of it with reason to keep your eyes on him. And the realization of his effect on you was like being splashed with cold water on the face when, at the start of the game, he removed his shirt. He pulled at it from the back collar, the supposedly mundane sequence of actions making you feel...well, things.
You've never really considered it, this aspect of him, and the fact that he's attractive wasn't really something you focused on. Bur the sight made you uncharacteristically hot despite the green popsicle stuck to your mouth, also disintegrating under the high temperature, dripping into your hand, making a sticky mess. It wasn't something you were aware of until you heard his familiar voice ringing through your ears.
What do think of heavenly god!mc (what I'm calling god!mc who was taken by heaven) who commands the angels to touch/fuck each other for their pleasure and entertainment? How do u think the angels would react to it? Personally I really like the angel orgies and specifically Gabriel/Michelleel because I think Michelleel would be having the time of his life and Gabriel would get really jealous that he wasn't his god's complete center of attention
I actually refer to that specific variation of the God au as Old Testament because it's a more wrathful and domineering version than my base version. OT!God!MC when I am tagging my fics. Also, excuse me if I stick to just Gabriel for this request. Having to write for all of them would be... a lot. In short: Gabriel is angry They are looking at others, Michael would be angry that he has to participate, and Raphael is getting special attention because everyone else is avoiding him. The lesser angels... as long as they get to "serve" their Seraphim, I think they are chomping at the bit (though not all openly). Except for that one shy angel. They are hiding from the orgy.
Content: OT!God!MC x Gabriel x Michelleel, hand jobs, dubious consent, jealousy, orgies implied
"Touch him like this," They said as They wrapped Their hand around Michelleel's cock and stroked him from tip to base. Their chest pressed against his back, leaving him pinned against Them without a way out. "With a firm grip so he can feel it."
Michelleel shuddered under Their touch, eyes narrowing as he relaxed against them in new pleasures that put the others he thought he knew before to shame.
"No, no." They grabbed his chin with Their free hand and squeezed. "Keep those eyes open so Gabriel can see what it looks like to feel good. He'll never learn if you don't show him. He's so stubborn sometimes."
"Yes, my God," he stuttered through shaky breathes.
With a devious smile that never left Their lips, They looked up at Gabriel who stood standing over where They had Michelleel sitting on the ground. The cold burning jealousy in his eyes only served to make Them want to bully him more. It was fun to test just how much he really loved Them as he claimed.
"Come here so Michelleel can show you what he's learned," They said to him. "He's done so well since his chastity cage was removed."
Gabriel stepped closer, only stopping when Their eyes ordered him too; directly in front of where Michelleel was sitting. He received unspoken praise for knowing Their desires so well.
"Strip," They ordered.
Gabriel did as told, letting his holy garb fall to the floor in a puddle at his feet. He was already hard before his clothing hit the floor. They gave him a knowing look, because he couldn't hide his unholy desires from Them.
They kept Their eyes locked on Gabriel's as they whispered into Michelleel's ear, "Reward him for being so patient. Touch him the way I touch you."
Michelleel reached a trembling hand toward Gabriel's cock, grabbing onto it the same way that They had grabbed him.
"Just like that," They praised.
Gabriel's eyes clearly continued to burn with resentment at the fact that Michelleel was receiving praise and instruction from Them directly. That They were touching him rather than Gabriel. Still, Michelleel's movements matched Theirs, which was true ecstasy to Gabriel all the same.
"Such a good boy," They continued. "Soon, you'll be able to do this all on your own." They made a point to direct Their next words to Gabriel. "I can't wait to watch how well you play with the others next time."
Synopsis; Rin really likes you, but it seems he's not the only one, he can't help but struggle to express how much he cares, especially when you'd only ever consider him a friend.
Warnings: none <3
w.c: 1k
Rin Itoshi hated this time of year, the few holidays when his brother would show up at their house getting endless attention from their parents, they were so focused on his soccer career they barely even spoke to Rin.
But what was worse? You had to tag along, you’ve been a family friend since he could remember, and after you became more acquainted with his family they’d start inviting you over for the holiday dinners.
It was only natural you two grew closer over the years, when the two of you were kids it was obvious you weren't very good at soccer, but he still played with you.
Even if Sae had abandoned him when they were only young and barely contacted family he still found time to text you, Rin couldn’t understand why you’d want to talk with that bastard, but he never stopped you because you enjoyed talking to both of them.
Times like this, when you’d come over for Thanksgiving and eat with his family, catch up with Sae in person. Rin was missing his scheduled practice time for this dinner where he didn’t need to be, but his parents coaxed him into coming, or he just needed an excuse to see you again.
You also still enjoyed soccer as a teenager, not as competitively as he or his brother did, but you’d play with Rin from time to time even if he acted all cranky the whole time and sometimes even now Sae would humour your love to play a friendly match when he wasn't abroad.
Which is how he found himself here, he stood at the edge of the indoor field the three of you had gone to escaping the snow, watching as you chatted absentmindedly with his brother after a few playful matches of Sea and Rin beating you or sneakily letting you get a few goals yourself. His grip tightened around the water bottle in his hand. It wasn't unusual for Sae to draw people's attention, but this time, it felt personal.
Sae had been making backhanded remarks the entire time although to be fair so had he, they wouldn’t all out argue with you around, it’s not like you were stupid and didn’t see how much they clearly were at each other's throats, but they knew you wouldn’t want them to fight in front of you and ruin the day.
You had been a part of Rin's life since childhood. From small soccer games in the park before you’d both even learned all the rules, late-night study sessions helping you with your English work, always showing up to his matches, bringing him food after practice, to playing horror games in his bedroom, you were one of the few people he felt close enough with to let his walls down, to trust you wouldn’t leave him. With you, Rin felt a sense of ease, a quiet happiness he rarely found elsewhere.
But lately, Sae had been hovering around more often, his gestures a little too warm, his touches lingering just a bit too long. Rin watched as Sae suppressed a snicker at something you said, his hand brushing against your shoulder. You didn't seem to notice, completely oblivious to the subtle flirtations.
Rin's chest tightened. He didn't understand why Sae was doing this. Was it just another way to assert his dominance, to show he could have anything Rin wanted?
"Hey, Rin!" Your voice pulled him from his thoughts. You jogged over, a bright smile lighting up your face. "Are you okay? You seemed lost in thought, we were about to start packing up."
Rin forced the smallest tinge of a smile to grace the corners of his mouth, though his eyes flicked briefly to Sae, who was watching them with a distant expression. "Yeah, just... thinking about the next game I’m getting ready for in a few weeks."
You nodded, accepting his excuse without question. "You always are," you teased lightly. "Come on, we should head out. It's getting late."
-
As the three of you walked together, Rin found himself unusually quiet, sure he often didn’t speak unless he had to or if he was insulting someone, but Rin enjoyed speaking to you. His mind raced, trying to find a way to convey what he felt without Sae’s presence ruining the moment of vulnerability.
When you turned to say goodbye for the night, Rin finally found his voice. "Hey, can we talk for a minute?" he asked, his eyes meeting yours with an intensity that made your breath catch.
You nodded, looking slightly concerned. "Sure, Rin. What's up?"
He glanced at Sae, who raised an eyebrow but didn't intervene, his usual stoic face glancing between the two of you. Rin lead you inside your apartment, shutting the door in his brothers face with a slight glare before turning around to face you.
His heart raced needlessly as he had a war being fought inside his mind, he was at a loss for words not exactly sure what he wanted to say, "I need you to know... I've always enjoyed our time together. I don’t really ever tell you how much I appreciate you"
Your eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, Rin feared he had miscalculated. But then you smiled, a soft, genuine smile that reached your eyes. "Rin, I know you I care, I care about you too, you’re my best friend"
Sae's presence felt like a distant memory, but his heart clenched at you calling him your best ‘friend’ he wanted so much more to you, he was selfish in wanting your every second, but his pride wouldn’t force him to say any more than he already had.
"Yeah... yeah" He nodded while he tried his best not to sigh from disappointment.
He watched with a lingering gaze as you swiftly pulled him into a hug, it was utterly suffocating, and your grip was just a bit too tight, although he didn't complain, if he had his way you wouldn't ever let go.
When you finally pulled away, leaving Rin breathless not even turning to look up at him while you slipped off your shoes, "So are we still on to hang out tomorrow Rin?"
Rin simply nodded in response while offering a small goodbye under his breath, leaving your apartment and meeting his brother matching gaze, it seemed both of them were brooding over you.
Holy shit lately i'm wishing Monty and Earth would break up, not because don't like them together, i especially like them because they seem to be happy and good for each other.
But then the annoying flies show up to throw shit at Monty just because "Them not good enough for Earth blablabla" or "She'd be better off with Eclipse because he's so much better (HAH) blablabla"
And they really are VERY ANNOYING. I have had to block the tag at this point because I CAN'T STAND THEM.
I even miss the times when they weren't together because back then Monty wasn't so hated, everyone considered they fun and relaxed because nobody take them too seriously. But since they started dating Earth, the critics and haters of them have increased slowly but surely, and since the annoying ShadowPlanet emerged everything is much worse, because, don' know? Since you've seen that Earth has been able to """fix""" Monty, do you also want to fix the orange idiot? DON'T KNOW.
So thank you, you've made someone stop liking something because now every time i see Earth and Monty together only remember their shitty comments about one of the very few canonical couples on the shows. Fuck you.
FOR THAT things, one ends up becoming a defender of the canon even if one doesn't want to, damn it.
I have a question about your comments on Love Sea. Genuinely no hate, I’m just curious. Are you saying that, because we should have clear, enthusiastic consent 100% of the time in real life (which is obviously completely correct and I’m not disagreeing with that at all), we cannot/should not ever explore anything other than that in fiction? I’m not disagreeing that Mame romanticises a specific dynamic that includes ignoring ‘no’ in a way that would be completely wrong, immoral, and criminal, in real life, but this isn’t real life. If people enjoy that dynamic in fiction, and that is the dynamic Mame wants to write, and that viewers expect from her, isn’t that up to them? Even if they do also praise better representations of consent in other shows, isn’t it possible they enjoy seeing this dynamic explored, in fiction, but are also glad it’s not the only representation of consent out there and that there are also others that are closer to what would be appropriate in reality. It doesn’t have to be either/or, does it?
So. The answer to this is dear lord I didn't tag the show for a reason.
But also.
The answer to that is that sometimes it works. When Mut was carrying Rak into the sea and Rak was saying no and they were both laughing and it was fun and teasing? That was fine! That was a no that obviously wasn't meant as a serious no and was joking.
But when Mut was dragging him out to his motorbike and he was protesting the entire time and telling him he didn't want to go and didn't want to be there and to stop and Mut had to literally scare him to make him go with? That's not okay. Because that is literally takin g no means no and making it a joke.
The dynamic being explored here works in so many contexts without specifically making 'no means no' into a joke. There are so many ways that this kind of dynamic can work that doesn't have to specifically be 'man, isn't it romantic the way he ignored his no?'
I don't tag the show in my posts because I don't want to show up in the tag or bother people who enjoy this. I use specific tags to let people easily block my posts.
But the honest answer is that making it works and exploring the dynamic also includes acknowledging what you're exploring in the process. And neither MAME nor her fans are doing that. Typically fans write this off as romantic and sexy and not as anything they wouldn't want in real life. I've had people argue with me for literal pages about the diary reading scene in the Other Show and how it was so needed and romantic and just...
Look, I like codependency in fictional romances! It's not romantic in real life but I love it in fiction. It's one of my favorite tropes. I love Love Syndrome III and it's toxic as fuck. But that show knew it was toxic and fully embraced that it was toxic and didn't try to write that as the romance but rather as a fucked up relationship that was what the two leads wanted despite how toxic it was. And I loved it! A+!
The problem with exploring a dynamic without acknowledging that you're exploring the dynamic is that it turns no means no into a joke in the show and that's... that's just unpleasant.
People are free to explore things and enjoy things and I specifically don't tag my criticism with the show for that reason. But the problem is that people talk about how sexy all of this and enjoy it and will be very clear, just like MAME was last episode about 'people asked why characters do things' that what they want is... whatever that means, I guess?
I post criticism that is specifically tagged to let people avoid it because I want people to know what I think and that I do see these shows and can offer criticism but also that it's not for the fans of the show because it's specifically tagged for them to avoid.
I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.
Okay, apparently shutting the fuck up was never an option but the way no one likes to look at the marina situation and go "wow what the fuck is wrong with portia"? Crazy.
Like she immediately didn't like her, not because of anything she'd done, but because she took attention from her daughters no matter how bright she dressed them.
It didn’t matter that the main reason is that, honestly all 3 of her daughters are painfully awkward, and in ones case literally 17. It didn’t matter that Marina was only there at her fathers instance, or that theoretically through having someone thats clearly popular in her home she could have used it as a jump off mark to match her daughters, she was seen as her big hurdle to marrying them off. Marinas immediately othered, to the point that when shes being dressed the maids helping put on her shoes is enough to piss Portia off. She immediately puts Marina in the same ring as her daughters, fight for my attention and maybe maybe it'll be positive. But Marina doesn't do that because she doesn't want to even be there.
And then they find out she's pregnant and shes othered even more. She immediately tries to send her back, and when she's not allowed to do that shes locked away and the other girls aren't even allowed to talk to her. She literally tries to freeze her out, like Marina has any say in being there in the first place, before lying to her about her being abandoned by George.
She makes no attempt to find out if George has family, she doesn't care enough to try even though that would have been a way to get rid of her "problem". She tries to push Marina onto a man old enough to be her grandfather and slaps her across the fucking face when she tries to stand up for herself.
Theres no concern for her safety, for the babys safety, just getting her out of her house as fast as fucking possible, and I'm meant to be surprised that when Colin saves Marina from her elderly suitor she turns her attention to him?
Like the nicest guy, who everyone likes, who's attractive, who isn't multiple decades older than her and most importantly not going to literally assault her? Yeah not a big shocker. Should she have lied to him? No, but she wouldn't have had to or felt the need to if she wasn't in the most hostile fucking house. Even Penelope, who she likes, why does everyone forget that she fucking likes Penelope and viewed her as a friend, becomes aggressive towards her. Shes cornered, shes scared, and all of this could have been avoided if Portia was a slightly better person and said "hey soilder boys not written back, you're gonna have this kid, does he have any family?" instead of setting this entire mess in motion.
nightbringer lesson 14 FUCKED ME UP in several ways but primarily I've spent the last 48 hours making myself sad over the solomon backstory we got. specifically I have, for no reason, latched onto that one chapter in the Kids event where baby solomon cried because he felt so guilty over being responsible for that spell. and that just feels a touch more depressing in context
Helps with upcoming MHUI LoV event tho, it was a long time since last one happened I wonder what would happen in a new filler story part
Basically this and couple of pages of mid-final arc chapters + recent episode and next one being The Dabi episode was just too much not to get excited again
But! Important thing - I need to reread the last arc before I make anything new, if possible without finishing it to the 419 chapter and everything after, it took 2 months to really recover from the damage that chapter did
Anyway am I ready for the new event? Kinda! Do I have enough gems to get new Tomura? No! I'm not sure he'll even show up this time, because other ones were and still are really stubborn
Also Steampunk recruit took like 120 pulls in a step-up recruit and in the usual one combined
Not the best time to get LoV involved, it's cruel even
Also that one part of the page I added at the beginning was so interesting to look at and them I joked about 236 being similar. The only good thing with final arc being over is that I can say that Izuku didn't draw the parallel of seeing everyone hurt and seeing Tenko react on Mon's death
Understandable why, but it's funny to just look at them and be like, "wow Horikoshi traumatized them both"
one more dacre post for the evening if you will permit me
thinking abt him growing up and his life before the hunters attacked. was probably a small town, not a lot to do, what's a big family to do but spend a lot of time at the local church - one of the more well-maintained buildings around. no fighting in the church, no words of anger, it was a safe and peaceful place per the adults' rules.
not that it stopped dacre from the occasional scuffle, but he did admittedly like it. he liked the piano and he liked singing. learning from his elders - in the pack and in the general town population alike. and he enjoyed being able to cheer up the younger members of the family with his skills, liked being able to do something right for once. most of all, he liked the rosary given to him by his pack; a bead painted by each member.
as a child, dacre probably wasn't even able to harm pest animals. he was the sort of kid who cried when he accidentally stepped on a bee - and not just because it stung him when he did. he was the kind of kid that pretended not to care + be rough and tough, but had a big soft spot, something the younger kids knew even when the adults assumed he was simply a troublemaker
Tbh dre made tweets before the long one like the very passive aggressive "great minds think alike or something" and saying he was going to fight q (inb4 "IT WAS A JOKE" if q not saying shit was enabling drama I think that also counts as enabling drama lmao)
The thing is, those tweets were so clearly Dream trying his best to dismiss the hate and trying to make both his fans and Quackity fans calm down, specially since the norm with dtkq at the time were light hearted jabs like that
(Actually, honestly considering all that happen I think Dream was taking it very well? I mean, yeah it would of course have been better if they had talked it out and figured out how to do these two servers that were similar without stepping on each other toes, but if there were people showing up at mine and my friends house and a person who I thought was my friend suddenly started ignoring me I would react much much worse then just making some light hearted jabs at them on twt)
