Hear Me Out

Guys, just, hear me out: YouTubers/Streamers AU for COD. There was a series of posts on @cod-dump 's blog about what games are banned for the boys and I've just been thinking about this but with Ghost, Gaz, Soap, and Alex where one of them is the actual streamer/gamer dude and the others just almost always play with him (maybe Roach if we went on the path that he's not actually mute, just kinda hates talking)

Retired or discharged for whatever reasons, the 141 are actually kinda happy to be living semi-normal lives. Maybe they're not all entirely civilian now, maybe Price has a position that doesn't require him to be on the field but he's still teaching/being a Captain.

But he's constantly telling the boys to find things to do to keep themselves happy. Especially Gaz and Soap, cause the military is kind of all they know, they've never had to be civilians really as adults.

Ghost is transitioning fine, and he's been a huge help for Soap, but Gaz is still kinda struggling. Eventually something happens and Alex is part of his life, but it's still not really what Gaz needs to feel "normal".

So Soap and Alex convince Gaz to start streaming/recording videos of their gaming sessions. It's a slow start, and Gaz is getting frustrated.

Until one time they play something silly but incredibly rage-inducing. It's a trending game because it's designed to pit you against your friends but is still silly nonetheless. There's one clip in particular that starts trending and becomes the reason Gaz's channel starts to take off.

The clip? Gaz yelling at Soap for something and Soap immediately just cursing him out in straight Scots only for Alex, an American, to scream into his mic as loud as humanly possible "WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER?!?!" after having been dead silent for the last 2 minutes. Why did he scream this? Not because of Soap's Scots, but because he had secretly just won the round after having lost the entire time they'd been playing.

People eat that shit up! Suddenly everyone's like "damn there's this hella attractive dude that records gameplay with his friends and they're all really funny." Everyone falls in love with Gaz's appearance first, but then they actually hear him and his friends interact and it's just trading insults and stupid jokes, acting like there's no one watching and they're suddenly kids again.

It eventually comes out that Gaz and his friends are all veterans, and despite the air around military not being the best, there's no denying that caring for veterans is a must. People slowly start to support Gaz's channel/streams, and before he knows it, he's actually got quite the following. His whole thing is about "wanting to do something to distract himself and others from the shitty aspects of life with a few laughs and some good games"

Eventually they convince Ghost to start gaming with them. It makes Gaz's popularity grow because now there's this really deep accent in the mix that's completely clueless as to what he's doing like 90% of the time (I just have this gut feeling that '22 Ghost is so fucking awful at video games) that they refer to simply as "Ghost". Suddenly, the chaos Gaz and his friends are known for increases tenfold. Ghost is flirting with all of them, Soap is arguing with him over literal couple things that come with living together, and there's a new element of really dark humor that wasn't there before (there was dark humor, just not this dark)

They're playing The Backrooms one time. They're not even in the game yet, just in the lobby. Gaz is laughing at Alex's tag for the game "MYLEG!" which is a reference to that one fish in Spongebob always yelling "my leg!" after an incident. Gaz is laughing too hard to actually explain to his viewers that, yes, Alex is an amputee. Soap starts making fun of him, as usual, and that's when it happens.

Alex: "I'll take my leg off and hit you with it, Soap, I swear to god." Soap: "I forgot you were already missing one for a second there and got real concerned." Alex: "No, Soap, I planned on removing my other leg. The one that's still attached, yeah. Just like a lil *pop noise*, ya know?" Gaz: *wheezing so hard he almost throws up*

Then they're playing this silly monster/cryptid hunter game called "A Day Out" and there's skeletons every now and then on the map. Gaz walks up to one and just starts freaking out, saying Ghost's name over and over.

Ghost, freaked out: What?? Gaz, pointing at the skeleton: Look, it's you! *cackling* Ghost, after a concerning long pause: *quietly* Nah, I'm not gonna say that Alex: SAY IT COWARD Ghost: No, that's my brother *Gaz making the most horrified face as he tries not to laugh* *Alex and Soap are losing their shit* Gaz: NAH THAT'S NOT OKAY

That clip posts and the internet looses it. I see this being the actual first video Ghost is in, so for this to be the first thing the viewers get of him, it's safe to say he's a hit. It's also never explained that Ghost does have a deceased brother, so there's just an acceptance of Ghost's skeleton brother.

There's several times where they've all gotten together and played silly games like Mario Kart when there's a bunch of them. There's the sober one and there's the drunk one, where there's so many different languages being hurled as curses at each other, Gaz gives up on captioning ANY of it.

OOOOooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! WHAT IF! Roach becomes his editor once he gets popular enough so he can spend more time playing games, solo ones when the others are working.

For a while, everyone's going crazy wanting to see what the others all look like, and sometimes (cause we're assuming the world they live in now during all this is a lot better), they're joined by Rudy or Alejandro, or both in one rare instance. Sometimes, for old times's sake, during the drunk gaming sessions, they'll call Laswell only for her to scold them. There are times they'll bully Roach who always, as the editor, changes their words from the insults to compliments. Or he definitely trolls Gaz a lot with some of the editing, and it's all around just a good time. Hence why everyone wants to know what they look like.

Then it's around the holidays after about 2 and a half years of Gaz's channel being as popular as it is. He posts a single picture on his socials with a group of people and the caption: "Love seeing the boys over the holidays."

It's such a nice photo; Alex with an arm wrapped around Gaz's shoulders, Soap and Ghost on his other side with Roach between Soap and Gaz.

And the internet has once again gone crazy. Why? Cause not only are these dudes fucking hilarious, but they're hot and taken.

Except, as they all end up teasing him about, Roach is very much still single XD

I have been watching too much YouTube lately, can y'all tell?? Haha anyways back to my hole I shall crawl

"HAVE WE ENTERED A NEW ERA y/n following Nikola?!?!?!?!"

y/n was not in the mood for drama.

She had spent the entire day at the paddock, dealing with the usual chaos—her brothers hovering, Ollie being annoyingly smug about something, and social media still blowing up over her latest comments about Nikola Tsolov.

So when she stepped into the hotel elevator, all she wanted was silence.

But of course—the universe hated her.

Because Nikola Tsolov walked in right after her.

y/n sighed.

Nikola sighed louder.

The doors slid shut. The elevator started moving.

For a second, they didn't say anything.

Then, at the exact same time—

"Don't start."

They both turned to glare at each other.

"I wasn't gonna start," Nikola said, arms crossed.

"Good," y/n replied. "Because if I wanted to argue with someone, I'd be yelling at Ollie right now."

"Oh, so I'm second on your list?"

"You wish."

Silence again.

The elevator kept going.

y/n leaned back against the railing, exhaling. "God, this season's been long."

Nikola glanced at her, then nodded. "Yeah."

It wasn't a big moment. It wasn't some deep, emotional confession.

But for the first time, they weren't just trading insults—they were just two people exhausted by the same world.

"Social media's annoying too," Nikola muttered. "I can't post anything without people bringing up this stupid rivalry."

y/n let out a laugh. "You're acting like you don't fuel it too."

Nikola rolled his eyes but didn't deny it. "Yeah, well. You started it."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"You posted a cringy TikTok first!"

"You made fun of it first!"

The elevator dinged.

They both stopped.

The doors opened.

Nikola stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Well. Try not to make fun of me for, like, a day or something."

y/n smirked. "No promises."

He rolled his eyes but didn't push it. Instead, he walked off, heading toward the lobby.

y/n watched him go, then shook her head to herself.

They weren't friends. Not even close.

But for the first time in forever, she didn't feel like picking a fight.

Maybe that was enough.

Later that night, y/n was scrolling through Instagram.

She hesitated for only a second.

Then, she followed Nikola.

And within minutes—

I feel bad for Starlo. (pt. 2)

Had they just let him get Clover the badge (and literally finish the best day of his life since, again, Clover's gotta go) and then all sat down to chat, everything would have been solved in minutes. Because clearly Starlo's main motivation is making sure other people are happy, right? If they tell him they're not happy, he'd sure as heck care about that. Just look at how he tells the group to have fun with Clover:

btw, this is a human they SHOULD be excited to talk to more since well... they're a human. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and they are SUPPOSED to be into the western culture almost as much as Star, or at least that's what Star thought. More on this later

But no, gotta act jealous instead, call Starlo's training lackluster...

Then you make a better one, Ed, instead of complaining, Star's mind was too occupied with everything, as it always is. The town needs to be led by someone every day after all. It's all harder than it looks, you've gotta focus on schedules, new ideas, and most importantly radiating positive energy even in the worst of times

...say he's been throwing them around for human business...

huh Moray?? He didn't force you to do anything, you all just went with it. If you hated the training, y'all never said it. Ed also says how he basically doesn't want to participate in the trolley problem which I found sorta.. weird. I mean, it's not very likely that in all the years they've spent roleplaying here, they've never done this before. And even if they hadn't, it really is logical to assume Ed didn't really mean he was terrified and was just acting to make the scene more "dramatic" The five of them ARE sort of actors anyway (why would he be scared tho? it's not a real train that's coming, no real danger here, just harmless fun)

... and apparently call him a meanie and a big-headed sheriff:

HOW is he a meanie Mooch?? How??? He was just trying to be helpful and got too into everything. It's not the same as being mean on purpose. And even if he DID act prouder than usual, he honestly had every right to do it. After everything he's tried to do for the underground, his friends and family, he had every right to lift himself up. All you guys ever did was tag along with him everywhere apparently, never having to worry about anything but your own hobbies, had a secure AND fun job thanks to your boss, a place to live, nap times, PLUS Star was always a nice leader (Ed himself admits this; from my previous blog). How do I know he was nice? Aside from signs in the game, the gang only argued over trivial matters (IDK what exactly but Dina said this)

And Ace... wdym you're following them??

Why??? Star literally praised you and thanked you! What the heck?? Yeah life dealth him a bad hand but you're not doing anything about this situation aside from leaving.

I love all four of them, but honestly, It's not like Star ditched any of you, he didn't ever act angry (besides when Ed insulted his mission, which IS frustrating because: 1) he tried his best to make it enjoyable for everyone 2) this comment Ed made contradicts everything Starlo wanted to feel that day: genuinely proud, happy, useful, important. He wanted to enjoy himself as much as possible and bring as much joy to others as he could. And he was right to want that... especially after all he's already done. Or tried to do. Even though he's too fiery, too passionate, *too much,* why didn't anyone let him know this? Why didn't they tell him he's NOT been making anyone happy, aside from the tourists? Why keep lying to him until his breaking point?

Better explained down here during a discussion in the messages here on tumblr in case ya'll have the patience to read it ↓

Just... After thinking things through, I've started seeing things from a different pov. Yeah, the Four apologise to Clover in neutral, but Starlo STILL has to be the one to come to THEM for forgiveness. Forgiveness for what exactly? What did he do that was worse than what YOU guys did to HIM? (you too Ceroba, especially you, and I'll talk about this VERY soon, in a few days)

Forgetting to tie them off the rails (Ceroba forgot too) because he was too excited to well... feel like a somebody for the first time, like a real sheriff with a real deputy? Putting his needs and feelings first for once instead of walking outside his house at night and whispering to himself and thinking about every single problem he has on his plate? (I think it isn't the sheriff stuff he thinks about) Thinking he was doing the right thing by doing what he thought would be fun for everyone? Being kind to Clover? Not ditching his posse and just... idk, not running off to have an imaginary adventure with the human kid, with just the two of them? What the heck, guys.

Now, I'd understand if he'd been saying stuff like "Alright y'all, you better listen to everything I say, you understand!? Clover is the greatest thing since sliced bread, while all of you all nothing but a drag! Tch. Losers." Or "If you don't do this and that, you're fired for good! Clover will replace you! You're all lame anyway!" Or "Clover, get over here and join me on this and that! Right. NOW."

Starlo literally never said something even CLOSE to this. Only after Ed left did he let him and everyone else go, then blurted out "I was considering firing y'all anyway!" Honestly what I know about Star is that he's fiery and passionate and just snapped because he didn't understand why they left. He had done everything right.. right? He couldn't, no, wouldn't comprehend that his whole life in the Wild East has been a big fat lie. It hurt emotionally and his coping mechanism were always distractions. So he refused to see what he had (accidentally) caused.

In short, what bothers me is that all blame is put on Starlo and he's the only one who has to say sorry when he genuinely didn't know any better. Some folks just aren't introspective enough to notice people's true feelings and Star's one of them. And even if he's good at that, he's been so foused on this whole Wild East thing to think about that too, on top of everything.

He literally had to just stare off into the distance and rethink all his life choices that led him to this point (based on his letter), when instead he could have been a lone entertainer from the start. I mean, he carried all the comedy and charm on his own anyway (imo). He'd get to live his passion, plus entertain the tourists, plus boost his own confidence, PLUS none of his friends would be stuck at a job they hate! PLUS Ceroba, while still staying at Star's, could have gotten a better night's sleep with only the two of them being roommates! It would have been a win win win win win kinda situation if only they hadn't been lying to him for such a long time and just spoke up openly. Simple as that!

Random idea I've somehow never stumbled across on Tumblr (If somebody already did this please let me know, I wanna see) but Hazbin Hotel in Romantic Killer. Just with the fact that Alastor gets shipped with, uh... everybody.

If you don't know the plot of the series, basically, Riri, a nonbinary yellow potato Cupid who is trying to get their big, juicy paycheck, just fucking spawns in chocolate and video game-obsessed cat-lover Anzu's house to turn her life into a real-life dating sim and forcing her to play by taking her three favorite things from her, since... I forgot the reason why that was Riri's job lol. Anzu vows to, instead of actually falling in love with any of the quote-unquote 'hot guys' that are now surrounding her, beat the game and get her things back without falling in love. Along the way, she ends up befriending all of them and also getting Riri to fall for her stubborn ass by complete accident lol.

It's so perfect for Alastor.

(Victim) Anzu Hoshino - Alastor. C'mon, it's perfect. We'll say the three things Alastor's obsessed with are old-timey radios, the deer that live outside his house, and his mom's cooking. The deer all scatter, the radios just vanish, and his mom goes on vacation.

(BFF) Saki Takamine - Rosie!

(Surprise Love interest) Riri - Charlie. Bundle of overenthusiastic, hyperactive, redemption love-obsessed and slightly embarrassing chaos that also sometimes is a little sneaky + willing to do pretty much anything for the people they care about = Charlie.

(Love interest #1) Tsukasa Kazuki - Angel Dust. The personality doesn't reaaally fit, but I was thinking more about the setup + main story arc around this guy. Popular boy that doesn't fully like the attention? Yeah, Angel Dust. (I'm sorry, Angel)

(I fucking hate her, she's 100% worse than Val in some areas ->) Yukana Kishi - Valentino.

(The loyal friend) Makoto Oda - Cherri Bomb. No clue why, I just wanna say Cherri Bomb. (Probably because she was the only friend of Angel Dust prior to the series that I know of)

(Easy mode/Love interest #best) Junta Hayami - Vox. (Spoiler, they're both my favorite choices lol). Childhood best friend that had a crush on the MC from a young age and basically changed themselves a lot to be their dream person and is also just over all a mess that matches the interests and fears of the MC pretty well. Yeah. Vox.

(Love interest #3) Hijiri Koganei - Lucifer. I'm getting tired of doing the description T-T. Rich guy that's on top of the world and doesn't want to interact with 'peasants' (aka sinners) and is just very prideful.

(Driver) Tsuchiya - Zestial. I gave up on the description. Just that guy that's close to

Just for fun, Ryuya (Aka the dude that had a crush on her when they were kids and was an ass about it) - Mimzy <3

[enemyoflactose]

To start this off, I want to mention the extremely weird obsession you have with watering Ryou down to this dumb Femboy for having feminine characteristics. God forbid a boy- yes, a BOY, a 16 year old, anorexic and confused guy to not be the manliest guy alive. Also all the overly sexual things directed to him or in relation to him? They are just downright revolting and can be in no way justified. You wonder why people can’t recognize your Ryou art when you dumb him down to a fucking femboy. Ryou bakura is based off many other characters and is supposed to be ANDROGYNOUS. (hence his Female VA and overall appearance.) he is NOT a girl. Also, stop making him to look really fucking dumbed down. If you even read the manga, ryou is actually really fucking smart. He isn’t a bimbo, he isn’t some kind of fucking stupid silly uwu boy. HES A TEENAGER GOD FORBID HE EVEN EXISTS

The next thing I wanted to allude on, Marik's mischaracterization, oversexualization (again) and woobification? How are you gonna dismiss one of the best written Characters in the entire show just for a few petty arguments, rude and impolite at that too. You’re also a giant hypocrite. Being as Yami Bakura (your favorite character) is a bad person AND I WOULD EVEN SAY, HES AN AWFUL PERSON. more so compared to Marik. His redemption arc i can get as to why you’re so pissy about it but you need to realize that this is also a kids show with limited writing due to 4KIDS, manga is more well constructed. Honestly i just have a giant problem with your Marik. I’m not even gonna talk about the thiefshipping, angstshipping, and opinions abt YM..why is Marik in your head like a fuckass. Like, your perception of him is so weird. Marik is equally as bad as every villain in Yugioh, you constantly make him out to be a hypersexual sex craved MANIAC. Also not to mention the blatant racism on your blog (it’s self explanatory.) I don’t understand all the hate, from his arc to the character design…pick a side, do you hate him or do you only like him because he pounds ryou in your head :T

Also the pure, unadulterated watering down of SA in your "crimes of marik/yami marik" post? I can't put into words how extremely shameful it is, to disregard such an important and scary topic and to make a joke of it honestly. IT WAS NOT SA? the scene was ryou bakura about to FALL OVER because he is INJURED. Marik isn’t trying to do anything to him. Thanks for dumbing down real life situations you’re an awesome person

Where did you get that Ryou was anorexic? Being thin and not really eating a lot doesn't make you anorexic. I would know, I was almost diagnosed with it.

I head cannon Ryou as a femboy not because I'm sexualizing him, but because I want to draw a character that I like and relate to in outfits that I just want to see him in.

Do I end up drawing Ryou in sexual outfits? Yes. I'm sorry this upsets you, but I find certain typically sexual outfits such as maid outfits and MEIKO's Blue Crystal model to be very pretty and cute. Not to mention they're just fun to draw.

I have plans to draw Ryou in other dresses and skirts that aren't sexual, I wouldn't have this head cannon if I didn't.

I'm well aware that looking androgynous doesn't automatically make someone a femboy or tomboy. I may be dumb, but I'm not an idiot.

The kind of stupid that I think Ryou is, is the kind that makes you unable to see certain social cues or just be ignorant about a lot of things. I give him the same stupid that I have because I'm projected on to a character that I like and relate to.

I'm also still new to writing, so the way I characterize Ryou hasn't been shown to its fullest. I write him and acknowledge him how he's already written, but I add things to make myself happy. That's how fanfiction works.

I never said that Ryou was a bimbo, I said that he's stupid because he makes objectively dumb choices like keeping the millennium ring and not telling his friends about it. Also, yes I do know that he's being abused. From an outsiders perspective however, his choices just come across as looking stupid.

I am making light hearted jokes about a fictional character and projecting myself on to that same fictional character, and you have a problem with that?

And to talk about your insults to my art, I know that the reason I'm scared people won't recognize Ryou is because I draw him to like this:

Instead of this:

I'm well aware of that because despite my low intelligence, I can understand that he doesn't really look like Ryou.

Also, why are you so intent on telling me that Ryou is a boy? I know he's a boy. I constantly say that he's a boy and acknowledge that he's a boy. You need to identify as a boy to be a femboy 💀.

For your Marik takes, I have no clue what woobafication is. I also don't hate Marik because he's a bad person, I "hate" him (it's fucking theatrical you dumbass) because he has a poor redemption that needed to be explored more. Marik is a character that I genuinely like and I think he's fun and hilarious, I just have problems with how he was redeemed since in my eyes, he did nothing to deserve it.

Yami Bakura is also not my favorite character. Weevil and Joey are. I just talk about Yami Bakura way more because there's more for me to say. I like Ryou more than him as well because Ryou is my projection character.

I'm well aware that Yami Bakura is a worse person than Marik, he did almost kill all of Egypt is I'm remembering things right, but that doesn't mean that Marik isn't also a bad person.

Just because someone is worse than another, doesn't mean that that person's sins are cleaned completely.

Of course you don't wanna talk about the angstshipping thiefshipping discourse you little pussy.

Marik is objectively worse than Pegasus, Noah, Gozuburo, and the Douma trio. He kidnaps, brainwashes, steals, kills, abuses his brother, and all the while he still blames Yami Yugi for how he is.

Marik being hypersexual is just a fandom trop. That's why I think he is, because a pretty big number of people also think that way.

Where is the racism? I'm genuinely concerned about this one it is not self explanatory.

I do actually like Marik as a character, it's not because he pounds Ryou in my head, it's because he's entertaining. He's fun, I like fun villains. (His purple shirt is ugly as hell tho)

Now to talk about my biggest issue with you. You think I can afford to just read the manga and watch the sub, don't you?

Well guess what chuckle nuts, I'M FUCKING POOR

I don't have the money to buy more of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga or to pay for a Crunchyroll subscription.

I'm broke, no money, poor, jobless.

You're making the assumption that I can fucking afford to buy the manga. I have to ask my family to buy it for me as gifts for birthdays and shit. I literally have no money.

So let me put everything you need to know in a little list so you, and anyone else, can understand things about me.

I project onto Ryou

I think pretty boys in pretty dresses is cool

I actually really like Marik

My favorite character is Weevil

I happen to like angstshipping

I happen to not like thiefshipping

I think certain sexualized outfits are pretty or look fun to draw

I have media literacy

Fuckass is not a word in my vocabulary and I don't know what that means

Please block me 💕

What made you ship it?

Do you want the cutesy answer or the honest answer? lmfao

The honest answer is that it started out as a spite-ship. I was in Mollycord (the big public discord server for tgamm) when some of the leaks dropped and people were being horrible. They were being so rude and mean and snappy just at the idea of new characters and for one of them to be Molly's love interest that it was breaking my spirit. I'd never seen the fandom acting so cruel to each other. I'd originally been pretty neutral on the ship and the idea of Molly having a love interest, but I saw a server going up in flames and went "fuck you guys, it's just for fun, i'm leaning full-swing into this thing."

But then I had my real life Oh. Oh no moment because wtf, they were so sweet! They were so cute! Puppy love that isn't treated like a joke or like some unrealistic dream to point and laugh at is so underutilized nowadays!!

The ✨Forbidden✨ aspect of him being a ghost hunter made it all the more tasty. He's perfect for her in every way except he wants to hurt someone Molly loves. Mwah. Mwah. Mwah. gooooooooooooood shit

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

I've already said a lot of the reasons I love them but I just love how they match each other's energies so well. Nobody understands them like they understand each other. The Grand Gesture does a great job at this because it shows that the moment they try to start acting like someone they're not, the compatibility is Gone. They can be their truest, most authentic selves with the other and get nothing but uncondtional love in return.

Even with Ollie being a ghost hunter early in the season! Molly never gave up on him. Even after the Brighton Bop where Scratch almost got captured, Molly never outwardly told Ollie she never wanted to see him again. She still tried in the littlest of ways and it was clear that she still wanted something with him, because she's not gonna throw away a friend (or something more c:) just like that.

Ollie, too! He had every right and every chance to turn Scratch in to his parents or tell on Molly, but he never did once because he cared about her! So much of their story is their undying need to care for others and be cared for. They're so sweet for each other in that way.

They both have savior complexes, but they both want the other to feel saved and loved and cared for, too. I love you, you've done a lot for me, let me return the favor. It's a never ending cycle of let me do this for you. It's so good. It's so cute.

3. Do you have an unpopular opinion about the ship?

I still think the fandom was way too harsh about it when season two first aired. I've called out the hypocrisy before and I'll do it again, I never understood how people could say Ollie was abusive and awful and Molly should just never speak to him again because of what he did to Scratch when these same people were frothing at the mouth over the idea of Scratch and Jinx getting together.

I don't even hate Scrinx!! I think it's hilarious!!! It's also a good ship!! But the hypocrisy is insne. Molly can't be with Ollie because he tried to hurt Scratch, but it doesn't matter that Jinx tried to kill Molly, Scratch can be with her if he wants, he doesn't care all that much anyway. It just rubs me the wrong way!!

Also Mollie is not boring when the ghost-hunting plot is over, y'all just get too obsessed with grimdark AUs and such that you think a regular healthy relationship is meaningless. Go sit outside in the sun for a while.

Send me a ship!

So I already made a thread ranking(?? Judging?? I dunno lols) all the Azul ships I care about and so here's a post with headcanons for them and I have important things to do but shhh don't remind me and I won't remind you :)

Azuvil 🐙👑

I dunno all my energy for this ship died but I think it would be fun to write or read or work with because imagine they're both doing it for like appearances or something else of that manner and someone catches feelings or something but also they both think the other one thinks it's real from the beginning ??? So fake dating but extra steps. There's like this one fic that put this into my head but I don't remember the name lols

Azujami 🐙🐍

I really already explained this in the tweet but yeah this is only good when they get together after university (not NRC, but after they graduate and then graduate uni) and then get married and then divorced and then the story is them healing at fifty. Perhaps they become just friends, perhaps Azul learns to leave well enough alone, perhaps Jamil gets mad, perhaps they go their own ways, maybe one of them dies ?? I dunno this would seem fun to play around with :)

Jeiazu 🐬🐙

I don't really have anything to say about this, except if you aren't related or already in different relationship, being business partners? Pretty gay ngl. Pretty queer.

Floazu 🦈🐙

Do I have to write about this? Why did I include it. This is not a ship I care about like at all :/ Bumping it down to 1/10 ya'know I hate the childhood friends to lovers trope? It's too messy why would you date your childhood bestie I would let her kill me yes have we spoken in years no but would I date her no. No that's silly. I despise the trope actually. Please get it out of my face ahhhhh anyways

Azuide 🐙💀

I don't know why I included this either errrrr.. though I feel like they would bond over chess. The whole thing with the game of life in the comic anthology was pretty funny and I feel like working with a relationship with them would be very silly because it would be like that all the time and also neither of them know how to give or recieve affection properly so lols

Azurook 🐙🏹

As I said, this is literally just Rook being like "ooh interesting what if...I hunted you down??" and me projecting my unhealthy relationship with attention onto Azul. Oops.

Also I wanna be able to come up with cool ship names TwT I wanna come up with something like eight tailed arrow or something but everytime I try it sounds so stupidddddd how do y'all do itttttt I'm sure there are other people who have come up with this ship and maybe I just sound stupid let's move on.

Lizu/Water Spirit 👻🐙

Okay so this is really a crackship like she found him not up to standard but imagine if she didn't and also imagine if they got married and imagine if the whole story was just them healing in the afterlife?? That would be pretty cool imo :) So yeah that's it. It's gotta be awful to be seventeen for five hundred years and I'm gonna be honest I don't remember how she died so maybe she could work through that and Azul can work through his self worth issues and body issues, especially that he is now without a proper form. It would be cute, imagine it !

Zuel/Sailor's Lungs 🐙🫁

'Cause selfship names have no rules !!! But also this doesn't even count even because we're literally the same guy (not like I am him or vise versa but more like we're similar) so it would be like dating a fucked up mirror. Selfcest 😭😭😭 Zero out of ten, moving on.

AzuRid 🐙🌹

I forgot to include this in the original thread, oops. They're t4t lesbians (transfem riddle and transmasc nonbinary azul <3) and also in love and also the healthiest relationship here (shhh these are my headcanons I do what I want they get along beautifully once they get together) and also happy !!! Finally !!! And also they would be fun to work with because academic rivals to lovers is always fun. (I know these images are crispy as hell shhhhhhh don't mention it)

End of Headcanons !!!

If you have more please share I need more things to read to distract me from my schoolwork because my eyes hurt and my bones hurt an d I need to do something <3

[chenfordswopez]

Hi! So I've seen a lot of your gwikki stuff (I totally get the pain of having to use the same three screenshots over and over and over because your ship has almost no actual interaction lol) and am curious how you think they're similar to Jyde? I only watch That '90s Show once and haven't seen That '70s Show in years so I'm sure I've forgotten a whole bunch of stuff. I do see how Gwen and Hyde are a lot alike! I'm less confident about saying Nikki and Jackie are a lot alike but I'm sure there are some similarities? And as for the ships--I mean, I always smile at your 'my verse is canon' tag because we'd all like to think that, but in the real verse gwikki basically are barely even friends and only bond when they're both high, which is kind of ugh to me. I can't see them together at all, let alone having the kind of significant relationship that Jyde did, but maybe I'll feel differently if the show gets a seaosn 2 and they interact more? Long story short, i saw gwikki as just two people who are kind of from the same friend group but don't even like each other unless they're stoned, but I know that initially jyde weren't close and almost no one liked Jackie either, so maybe that's the similarity you see? And maybe eventually gwikki would build up the same kind of bond and trust? I would love to hear your thoughts on what Jackie/Nikki and the two ships have in common if you want to share and apologize for rambling!

First of all, thank you for being respectful! I’ve gotten a lot of hate in my inbox (anon tho) when it comes to shipping them so thank you for being respectful. Glad the “#my verse is canon” tag makes you smile.

For Gwikki, since canonically there aren’t a bunch of interactions, there’s not much material but I do see potential. And about the high thing, that wasn’t the only time they bonded. I think they both were already sober by the time they were dressing up and having fun. Plus with Gwen’s reaction about the scrunchie in canon, idk it just gave me secret hookup vibes.

Now onto the gwikki/zenmasters parallels, obviously character wise there are parallels. But also Gwen/Hyde didn’t really seem to like jelso/nikkixnate (“how much longer are we gonna have to deal with the whole Jackie experience?”, etc./ “shouldn’t you be controlling my brother’s life with your body.” “If you two go, you’ll just find some dark corner to hump around each other.”). And also Hyde/Jackie and Gwen/Nikki didn’t seem to be super close in the beginning and have even stated they have nothing in common (i.e. “talking is people who have something in common.” and “we have nothing in common.”)

Plus both, Nikki/Jackie are in unhealthy relationships with guys who don’t treat them right. I’m gonna be honest, Nate to me is more of a Kelso than Jay and Betsy combined (she exists in my verse). And Gwen/Nate are siblings, and Hyde/Kelso had a close bond in canon. So I get the vibe that Nate would react to Gwikki in a similar manner to Kelso reacted to Zenmasters. But then with Hyde and hopefully Gwen, they ended up/will end up learning how to be in a relationship with a good mix of love and respect.

9/19-20/2023

less exhausted now than yesterday.

i got 5 songs re-mixed today, which puts me at 13/25 (yes there are songs i forgot i had to work on and there's one i added that's out already but i should redo it for like, bandcamp and spotify/whatever (and there's some i'm still not counting because they're pretty simple and honestly i feel like they won't be too difficult)).

today i did get really happy doing all of this at least, i had a breakthrough w/ the guitar processing stuff that's at least gonna help a lot on some of these songs/tones, where i use something that simulates a lossy mp3 and stick it early in the chain, parallel with something, and then use the chime-y sound that it creates, essentially a warbly reactive bandpass with some random elements, and it helps add a sense of real guitar, it also helps un-deaden and de-cotton-ball some of the sounds, but i think i can work on that still. there's an answer somewhere to that problem.

maybe i can go do that now, who knows. i've got some loose time i guess but i should actually let myself relax, all the best ideas come to me when i'm not overworking myself. i think partially the problem is the sound loses a lot of dynamics/transients which would give it more textural shape.

it's also just the nature of distortion. stacking so much makes the sound, i dunno, rounder, or not round, it's sharp, but it's kind of like razor thin in ways. i like the razor part, and i like thin, but i want it to be a little more present, i think that means needing some more low end, it could be a situation where there's two channels, one maintaining the lower end.

also what the hell is up with impulse response cabinet things and them sounding so freaking, i dunno, weak.

whatever. but this is all my life is right now. kinda. tomorrow i'm going to do errands (woo (actually crying but whatever)) and hopefully i'll get to do some of the short songs before i am whisked away.

oh my god i can get post-grunge impulse responses. honestly i could on a lark but honestly no thanks i don't need to fool around with an impulse response based on the guitar cabs the guy from hoobastank uses. what is the point.

there's people who would see that and say they're going to make the most fucked up music ever using that, like a dare, i'm going to be brave and say that i am too good for that. even if i'm stupid and cleaning up a 25 song (+ more) mess. maybe i sound like i hate fun but i just hate what some people treat as fun, or i don't hate it. i just feel bored and frustrated by it cuz it's like, i'm gonna handle trash and act above it and also extol it because x y or z and it's a lame impulse and also i guess gently tied to some weird revivalist bent people can take up.

sorry for bitching and moaning about something that's essentially really specific and dumb.

listening to other fucked up guitar music makes me feel good about where my stuff is at, it's like i can figure out some tiny things and get it where it needs to be. i think as it stands the biggest issue could really be the bass sounds, they still come out a bit loud, which is an easy thing to fix, i just wonder if lowering the db is actually what i should do, but what else, who knows.

vocals also are a bit tough but they always are, you just find where they sit and stick them there, is how i feel about it.

who knows how much longer this whole mixing talk is gonna go on for. it could be my life forever. i don't want it to be, i want to write again soon but my mind is wholly on this, on the communion w/ soundwaves through abstract graphical and numerical means. an extremely material circumstance i think.

i got distracted from my #superimportant diary by a conversation with a friend, it's veered into a discussion of when we've felt insulted by artists people compare us to. the two of us have been burroughs'd by people, and not to say he's a bad writer or anything, but it's not what either of us are going for, and it's interesting how people can be really appreciative of what you're doing or something and vocalize that, and you can sit there and feel, in the wake of someone being really nice to you, and honest with you, and a lot of things i feel like i should appreciate, i am left incapable because of a bad taste. this isn't what happens even most of the time with comparisons, especially with my music. it's always nice to hear what people think. often they feel kind of left field, but good, or they're so left field it's like, i'm glad you got that out of it, but something about how people do it with writing in particular, there's a level of people treating your voice like it's a party trick and a condescension i guess.

it's also such an asshole thing to complain about someone being nice to you, but at the end of everything, it's just whatever, it's a thing. i think i'm allowed to ruminate when it's something that's a strange feature of my life. it's an ugly kind of rock formation i see that isn't a terrible eyesore but it's strange the earth's mantle and crust and everything conspired towards that, and the strangeness not so great and not especially meaningful, you are just put before it and nod at it and think about it later, i guess.

i shouldn't have to justify everything about my life or inside my head but i do i guess cuz i'm cuhrayzzzzeeeeeeee.

when i type like that i feel like i'm actually getting myself across, not in a way where like, i know someone understands, it's just letting something deeper inside out. it's how i actually feel and i guess no one could understand why it makes me feel, i dunno, whatever cluster of things it makes me feel.

i just remembered ryuichi sakamoto's passing, and almost cried, might cry, kidn of crying, crying.

not much to say about it, just a real tragedy, a real legend and genius. i love him a lot.

it's a bad idea to listen to forbidden colors, but i will.

what a perfect articulation of something, that song. i don't know why sakamoto is one of the musician deaths that makes me the saddest, i really do cry over him more than any other, it's not new at all really, it's not fresh anymore and it still gets to me, and he was old, it wasn't shocking really. but i guess we all knew it was coming, those who keep up at least saw the stuff about his cancer. i think it's because his music and how he wrote music represents something fairly singular to me. it's hard to get me to sit and listen to anything classical adjacent, him doing solo piano stuff a lot makes that easier, since i love that anyways, but his particular interpretations of older kinds of music are just really moving. you can sense his entanglement with that music and the will to move past it, the recognition of others, through time.

now i'm thinking about house music. good house music always makes me really melancholy, even if the song is happy, endlessly joyless, really it's the joy that makes me sad, it makes the gulf apparent, i am here and now, and all the parties these old songs were made to keep going and start and end, never even expected me to be there. meaner kinds of dance music are what i end up making, because of that emotional reality. i guess it's not that house is uncomplicatedly happy or something either, dj sprinkles talks about that on an album. it's also where a lot of queer people collected themselves, and partied, but not really escaping a miserable material reality, things like that. the sense of loss and distance and alienation is greater now. only for a night, and in the night, do you and your body join, a question is asked, how long can the night go on for, and a journey starts there, and what are all the ways we can modulate time, and so on, not to escape, but to be embodied, to exit the escpaism that surrounds us at all times (something something the spectacle (which on some level includes dance music, especially now.))

us being general and not localized to queerness, only to the downtrodden, of which there are many.

this is a lame pick, but for these particular emotional reasons/resonances, the song i'm your brother by round one (basic channel basically) is one of the best house songs, it feels like it's speaking to that exactly.

and i guess i'll end this entry with a link to another dance song, colder, not house, but it's a song that perfectly captures how it feels to walk home from work at night, not liberated but feeling liberation on your tongue and that denial, the slim hours you have to live your life, all our desperate existences, and stuff.

[slowdripsunrise]

hey yall its book review time. just went back and looked on my hashtag blog and apparently i havent reviewed anything since your blood my bones which is CRIMINAL. anyways this one might be a long one or it might not i might get bored but well. spoilers under the cut!

hoo boy we're going all the way back to... god i could have SWORN i reviewed this already but whatever. maybe i'm going crazy but Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé !!!!!!!!! I read this back in.... JANUARY ??? okay time isn't real but so it's been a while so I don't remember a Ton about this book. I am 100% certain i enjoyed it and i had fun tho. the anxiety about being one of the few Outsiders of this super fancy preppy school while also having to solve this mystery about ur roommate disappearing?? oh i was on the edge of my seat. 4 stars !!!!! the only reason it's not 5 is because it didn't stick with me as much as i thought it would..... although i really want to read ace of spades also by this author.

A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine!!!!!! a space opera epic to a t... huge fan i do want to read the second one but i think a re-read of the first would be necessary beforehand and that's why i haven't gotten to it yet bc thats a lot of book. Twists and turns galore, normally with books where the MC has really no idea whats going on at all times (in this case its bc she's operating on faulty/outdated information and is going through some major culture shock lol) turns me away, but this mc isn't stupid about it !!!!!!! she knows how to navigate terrible situations because she's smart even though she doesn't know whats going on and has to navigate all these foreign politics in a hostile environment and ohhhhh its so fun. its soooooo fun. 5 stars

In a Garden Burning Gold by Rory Power! honestly read this because i thought the cover + the title were cool. didn't affect me really in any way and i've heard the second one isn't as good i think on storygraph i rated it 4 stars, but it's really more of a 3.25 imo. hardly remember anything, though i do kinda love the concept of how the seasons change in the story !!!!

The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo !!!!!! istg i did review this. istg. whatever i fucking hate tumblrs broken ass search system. unless i just didnt tag it correctly. these next reviews are gonna be short bc i think i did review them at some point but whatever. LOVED this, super cute and sweet i've already continued the next few books. not gonna group them together bc they're each individual little stories to me but love love love the MC and their little bird friend. love the folklore/storytelling aspects and vibes. 5 stars no notes

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins !! on storygraph i rated this 4.5 thats a lie. this book got hyped up so much for me and it was just not the vibes i was expecting or wanted. hated the ending. only kinda fun parts where the DoD guy and his commentary and maybe the guy that was like turning into an animal. i liked him i think his name was michael. otherwise did not gaf about what was happening. bleh

Don't Let the Forest in by C.G. Drews! vibes vibes vibes vibes vibes. drawings coming to life and trying to kill you !!! yup. haunted by a dead twin !!!! yup. ough. yeah i liked this one. 4.5 stars

When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo!!!! same as the first in the series. 5/5 !!!! she did it again

The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson !! this one was fun read it because supposedly the plot twist was CRAZY and like yeah it kinda was i just was kinda confused the Whole time about which guy was which so like. it wasn't really that shocking to me when it turned out to be one over the other yaknow? undecided on whether or not i'm gonna finish the series

The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor !!!!!!!!! this was a reread and like. it was a necessary reread. if i had reviewed this back when i did the reread i would have more to say now but lemme try and get everything down. i first wanted to reread this series because I had just rewatched two of my favorite youtube videos of all time, caricanread's plot summary of the last(?). hang on i have no idea what this book is even called. okay the 2nd and 3rd crescent city books house of sky and breath and house of flame and shadow. genuinely videos of all time. and i was thinking like godddd crossover episodes are so fun in like fanfic i can see that she was trying to have fun here and bring back fan fave characters but like she just sucks at writing so it sucks. and my favorite. FAVORITE type of story is the kind of story where you tell me what happens. and then you tell me what happened before the story. the story that makes this story inevitable. how everything was predestined and unavoidable. how this story is just a tiny little part of a multitude of massive shifting pieces. like i love multiverses and parallel universes and such. and well sjm does not hit at all. so i reread daughter of smoke and bone to scratch the itch and you know what. it fucking scratched the itch. 5/5 idc if the fallen angel ya phase was cringe i'm still here for it.

then, i reread Strange the Dreamer so i could then read Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor !!! a fun good time loved it. don't remember much but i know that it affected me deeply. trust me

Legend of the White Snake by Sher Lee !!!! don't remember much at all but the vibes were fun and i had a good time.

This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska !!! favorite thing about this 100% was the setting and the vibes. 10/10. the FMC was kinda annoying but it was fine. quick read love the cover i would 100% read more of this authors work!!!

then i reread Silver Under Nightfall so i could then read Court of Wanderers by Rin Chupeco!!!! not a huge fan of the ending of the series but otherwise i had a good time and the vibes were there. I am always always down for some guy to be a pet for two baddass hot vampires. 10/10 when will it be my turn

okay done for now ty for reading all this if you did <3

[jiminsass-istant]

https://www.tumblr.com/jiminsass-istant/757367796406648832/i-find-it-interesting-how-frequently-jk-says?source=share

Both KTHs and Pjms says the same About jk ig so it's not as bad as y'all think it is anon? Cause i remember how KTHs were dragging jk saying "why does he always says some shit that will get Tae dragged, if he can't say something nice about Tae then he should shut up, and how jk always is rude to TH." My point is maybe those thing said by jk looks problematic because antis drag that simple point as if it's something drag worthy when it's just how conversations in real life goes. I remember how they dragged jk cause he said no to paying slow dance again cause he had always played it but played LC twice, how when Tae commented on jk's live jk was like"what are you doing here" or "taehyung hold on I'm talking something important with armys" or"just because you're dressed like frog doens't mean you gotta act like one" or when he when Tae came to suchwita jk was like"why are you here?" There's many more. Now tell if those things were said to jm by jk then you wouldn't feel the same as what you felt now?

So all I'm saying is these things are not bad but how conversations between friends go. He said he is missing memebrs and I'm sure jm might be too cause 3 members were already in military till the time the filmed in japan so it's normal for him to miss his members. One thing i have noticed is those things that jkk antis use said by jk are literally normal things that even you'd say to ur closest frnd yet these mfkrs act like it's some vile shit or smtg.

Jk wanting to join special force is not something surprising at all cause even before their enlistmemt armys used to make jokes about how jk would be doing parashute diving on his first week in military and all. Cause everyone knows this guy live for it. Thing is despite his will he still is in military with jm when there's tens of units for him to go. They always use that ss of jk saying No when jm asked him to come again from his practice but will never show u the ss of him saying yes when jm asked. They use jk saying "you look like ajuhma (cause of the cam angle) but won't use jk saying I'm your fan to jm in same live. They won't ever use jk calling yg ajuhma tens of times as drag at all cause their only target is jm. If i want i can go around pasting jk saying don't act like frog to tae as a drag but i for sure know it's a silly joke btw frnds.

Again point is these things are not bad but just simple conversation and jm and jk loves to tease eachother, jm understands what jk means or else he would be bickering with jk like he does with yg too but jm doesn't cause he knows. Jkkrs can use tens of things jk said to TH as drag but they don't cause we don't give a fk but tkkrs live for this, they can't feel good about anything unless they drag jkk. They're never satisfied with whatever they get cause it's not what they want. There's desperation in their attempts to always make it seem like jk hates jm. They be yapping about jm begging jk for show when all i saw was jk Begging for jm to come over in all 2023 despite spending his time with jm. It was their third trip of the show where jk said it it's not like he went with jm and immediately said he's missing others or something.

Hi Anon!

Posting your ask because i have a 'nugu' blog here and you are allowed to rant lol. But once the show drops, i'm not posting rants anymore. I'll only troll tkkers if i feel like because it's fun (yes i can be petty).

The boys have been friends for years. they have all teased each other for years. and JK teases everyone tbh. People who pick out such out of context screenshots and use it as drag against their YEARS of friendship are simply delusional. May the universe help them.

Be My Favorite Live Blogging

Haven't been really watching shows and haven't watched anything long since literally August but now that it's nearing the end of the semester and I have big, big projects due that I'm not close to being done, clearly it's the correct time to watch this.

I've been anticipating this for so long, I hope I love it.

Ep 1 (Nov 23)

1-1

hijabi side character

12 years after 1st year, so are they 30 years old now?

not Pisaeng being a liar! lol

1-2

oh yeah, Kawi is a translator!

the time travel has started

1-3

omg him getting a call from his dad and going to see him and hug him T.T because his dad passed away in real life T.T

oh the first time travel iteration, i'm having fun

"Do you like me? [...] What should I think?"

1-4

The way Kawi has already begun to act unlike himself and getting out of his shell like with Pisaeng in the locker room and dancing drunk in the bar, even if it involves first stealing Pisaeng's clothes and next his money

Fun start!

Ep 2 (Nov 24)

2-1

ohh okay so doing that takes you to the same moment as when you twisted it? both in the present and past

2-2

Ahh, his time travel affecting the current timeline, he's now besties with Pisaeng and isn't a recluse

2-3

Kawi's repeatedly using Pisaeng's money and whining is offputting. like i fully know that a large portion of his inferiority complex comes from the lack of money and how he thinks that people think of him poorly because of it but omg it's so ew

2-4

I would hate to be in Pear's situation so much omg she was hoping to get have lunch with the guy she's known for a while + probably has a crush on and now he's left her at this restaurant with some random dude who has definitely been trying to get closer to her... rip but she's being nice about it

ah, the kissing the best man on the day of the wedding

the coming-back-to-win-prize is extremely expected lol

Krist's expressions are too much fr, reminds me why I don't like certain slap-stick cartoonish jBLs. paired with the whining? please I need it to lessen over time

Ep 3 (Nov 24)

3-1

Pear inviting a friend as soon as she realized Pisaeng had ditched and now she's having lunch alone with this guy who could misconstrue this as a date, exactly so true

For all my ehh feelings about Khai's mannerisms, the way he says "Then who do you like? O.O" is so good

3-4

I know the point is that Kawi is unlikeable and doesn't quite know how to navigate people or relationships but he's supposed to grow throughout the show but man he bothers me fr like the way he keeps being cruel to Pisaeng is just. I know it's cuz he doesn't want Pisaeng to fall for him and leave Pear on their wedding day but it's like girl...

actually more than just terating him shitty, it bothers me that every time Kawi acts like he doesn't get why Pisaeng is hurt. "Oh just this hurt you?" "Why are you mad?" etc

loll the lottery ticket thing is so true

I was whatever about Gawin in Not Me and wasn't really someone I wasn't someone I was drawn to in general but I really like him in this role! Hot boy Pisaeng let's go

Ep 4 (Nov 25)

4-1

The way Kawi wears his backpack only on one shoulder bothers me cuz it doesn't look light

4-2

broo Kawi put your fucking backpack on properly like the whole game whatever is dumb and annoying obviously but don't be silly

I hate these confession things so much, fuck Not for real. ofc it's a lot of pressure on Kawi to confess but I also hate these things that definitely pressure the girl into feeling like she has to say yes

4-3

okayy at least they're all leaving the two of them together, rather than witnessing the confession but I kinda thought they were gonna film him get rejected or smth

oh lmfao they're eavesdropping on him knowing he'd get rejected such bastards

I knowww the point is that Kawi has many shortcomings but goddamn being 30 in a freshman's body and still making stupid decisions is so annoying to watch, why are you going to the nightclub rn bffr and he knows Not is an asshold, he almost slipped up when he tried to make Not and Pisaeng go back to being friends so why is he hanging around Not still smh

Not stop trying to get a girl to sleep with a drunk Kawi omg

4-4

annoying, including what Pisaeng is saying

although drunk Kawi jumping past!Pisaeng for the crimes for current Pisaeng is funny though, Pisaeng is confused as hell

ah Pisaeng gay and avoidant

Damn, Kawi really got Pisaeng to confess to Pear that he doesn't like her and never will, good job

wait... Pear asking to sit with Kawi... knowing that she doesn't have a chance with Pisaeng... are we gonna get groom Kawi in the new future?

bro wtf he's not going to go back to the present? how are you not curious enough smh but I guess he doesn't know that Pisaeng said no to Pear

Ep 5 (Nov 25)

5-1

Oh, he wants to accomplish his last goal of dating Pear or whatever before going back...

oh Pisaeng taken with seeing boys kissing at the club he works at

5-2

ahh Pisaeng going to the gay club!

aww him running out as soon as he saw Max and got recognized

ah Max good head

5-3

I don't want Kwan to be nice to Nott, she's too good for him

I don't quite agree with Max because what do you mean people don't care or gossip or talk about where you go and what you do

lol did Kwan being nice to Nott make Nott be nice to Kawi. will it last

not Kawi running to meet Pisaeng and actually apologizing gj

Pisaeng really confessed

5-4

Corny scene of Kawi and Pisaeng but better than the whining

damn singer Kawi

oh the next episode has the drunk scene with Kawi asking why Pisaeng likes him... it's in every edit + trailer I think

Ep 6 (Nov 26)

6-1

lol is a business tycoon that good to watch, Max?

Pear whining to her dad to treat Kawi's father is so... eh? idk it's a serious topic but idk

oh damn the dinner with Pear's father is going really sideways

Pisaeng shouldn't have told Pear but that's one thing, I don't think Pear also shouldn't have just started talking about Kawi's dad to her dad without consulting him

but also was Kawi planning on asking Pear's dad without telling Pear beforehand?

Kawi's little drunk ramble here is pretty good

6-2

wtf why is Nott being cute and smiley to Pear...

oh the drunk Kawi and Pisaeng kissing

what are we doing why are we unbuttoning the drunk guy's shirt bro

okay sorry I think this would've been better if I though Kawi was attractive

not Kawi falling asleep omg pls

6-3

she may be a capitalist businesswoman but at least she supports queer people and her son being queer

oh my bad spoke too soon! she's like keep it quietttt

oh so Nott is there to tell Pear he thinks Kawi isn't straight?

lol not the time-travelling sleep-talking

crying why didn't Pisaeng shut Kawi up quicker

6-4

oh Pisaeng has become bold

Ep 7 (Nov 26)

7-1

ahhh tragic the way Pisaeng

aw, I'm proud of Kawi, mans really accomplishing his goals

girl what kaljdsfkljadsf omg

7-2

so how does memory work here? Does Kawi just know the lyrics even though it's a song he never learned in a life he hasn't lived?

but i'm assuming there's still stuff wrong with his life and him being so happy is out of character?

girl not Nott D: Pear no

oh nooo Pear and Kawi had been dating but he's been putting her through it?

Can they show what actually lead to Kawi and Pear's breakup?

omg ? did Kawi cheat on Pear with Pisaeng or smth?

7-3

omg Nott is suchhh a dickhead, how is he getting both Kwan and Pear smhhh

girl so you're pregnant, get an abortion plsss ik it's not as easy as i'm saying it but T.T tying yourself to Nott for life?

okay at least Kawi didn't cheat on Pear, he just didn't wanna marry her and settle down

7-4

I guess Kawi let Pisaeng be true to himself but leading him to discover him being gay?

ahh Pisaeng giving Kawi gift for his "confession" anniversary even 8 years down the line, how are you so down bad omg Kawi and Pisaeng are both kings of holding onto crushes, though at least Pisaeng has been around Kawi this whole time, unlike Kawi having like no contact with Pear lol

Okay my confession is that Nott and Kwan are both very attractive to me and kinda want to see them play a couple together

Ep 8 (Nov 27)

8-1

tragic reaction to the kiss

so did Kawi often kiss Pisaeng while drunk? and forget or what?

8-2

aw man the dad died right away

i mean... Pisaeng's mom isn't wrong here tbh

dang, Kawi gave Pisaeng his diary

I feel like Kawi should've given Pisaeng some more concrete proof ngl

8-3

forever gotta love a queer ralley or info session or whatever in a BL

plsss not all this dramatics while Pisaeng prlly just dropping his mother off at the airport but i suppose it'll move Kawi along in his feelings bravery journey

8-4

girl not the time travel man almost getting to Pisaeng's car

Ep 9 (Nov 28)

9-1

is the writer or director of this show a child of divorce with a shitty mother who is obsessed with her work and never there for her kid or smth? because pear, kawi, pisaeng all have separated parents, pear and kawi love and are in contact with their fathers while their mothers left for work and a diff family respectively. pisaeng is living with his mom technically but she's also never there and busy with her work. we could've at least examined why women are forced into these scenarios for at least 1 situation instead of having 3 shitty moms for no reason lmao

9-2

agh Not is a problem fr

idk i kinda don't care about Kawi and Pisaeng cuteness negl even though I feel like I should be having fun with it... I'm just kinda bored of this show rip even though it's like objectively not bad and probably not actually boring

9-3

bro Not isn't just calling Pear but discussing it with a group in public, get fucked fr

aw Pear

9-4

Kwan needs to get over Nott and Pear needs to not entertain him either aghhh this fucker

Kwan is so pretty fr I cannot see her like Nott fr T.T and Nott is nicef to look at too, why can't he be a decent guy

ah Pear asking Nott to not tell anybody, she's kind but he's an asshole who's already told everybody so

and at least she's not falling for him, yes a win

At first I was watching this show on 1.25 but I started doing 1.5x because I kinda want it to be done

Ep 10 (Nov 28/29)

10-1

Nott pushing Kwan like that??? die

10-2

hehe making up with friends Pear and Max

awwww this tragic Pisaeng moment with his mother

ohh so the mother approved finally

10-3

Kawi is a 30 year old virgin who figured out he likes guys also like a week ago so I understand why he's shy, its not out of character for him the way it is for many of the other BL characters but it's still so awkward T.T

just gonna ignore Max's response to possibly asexuality but whatever lol

[Linguistics] Oh, then discussing stopping gu/mueng and using Khun or smth instead because they're dating now

10-4

not even gonna lie, skipped the entire intimate scene thing because it's making me uncomfortable idk like it's not giving horniness vibes which is definitely fine, i love tender and sweet but for some reason it's giving me the ick here - maybe cuz I actually wanted it to go a different way of maybe not leading to sex and going in an ace route?

i saw a glimpse of the kissing and yeah not into it

Actually, I wonder if not watching anything risque or sexual in a show for the past few months has made me averse to it again? but idk bout that cuz I've been enjoying the Pit Babe edits lmfao (although the edits don't really show much actual NC content, just convos before or interactions)

Anyway 2 more episodes, I can do this. idk why i'm so meh about this show when I've been hoping to love it while many people who were so apprehensive about it like it way more than me

Ep 11 (Nov 29)

11-1

Aw Pear and her mother making up

having to skip through the continuation of the Kawi and Pisaeng sex scene to get to the interweaved character stories lmfao

11-2

Graduation gift? How fucking long has Kawi been living in the past

the compilation of Kawi and Pisaeng (+friends at Christmas) is cute, aw

11-3

wait Pearmai wedding invitation? Is this still in the past?

the constant Khun is so confusing now

11-4

I'm so confused by the passing of time this episode, ig it's been a few days since Kawi got sick?

ohhhh so the reason nothing happened with Pisaeng the first time is because it was his first time spinning the snowglobe so he's back there on his second try

omg just one more episode left, i'm so tired of this show i want it to be done

Ep 12 (Nov 30)

Last day of the month and I'm finally almost done whooo 1 last episode on 1.5x let's go

12-1

Ohh, nice choice to make Kawi reflect on not wanting to actually become famous

12-2

I don't get the aging thing either

Okay my bad I really skipped through this last ep to get the just of what's going on

Overall:

It is such a tragedy that despite looking forward to this show for so long and enjoying some aspects and moments, ultimately, it fell flat for me. I feel like a lot of this show was objectively done well like the character arcs and acting and stuff but I'm not attached to any of it. The romance didn't make me feel giddy even though I really wish it had like it's strange that I didn't care at all about all those cute moments Kawi and Pisaeng had or the established relationship montages when usually they're some of my favourite aspects of a BL. agh whatever ig at least the show didn't treat Pear terribly.

Rating: 5.5/10

tehee~ im done. again, don't answer the questions you don't want to. this is just for fun

Okay this is a lot–

Adopted Parents Council is a tag all related to my kiddos and me interacting with fast food parody accounts, basically my character– And also myself! When you see my posts with that tag you notice that easily. On the other hand, the «plinko mori» tag are things that are more personal or actually real life facts lol

SENSITIVITY TO ALMOST EVERYTHING; Bright lights, I can't walk on streets 'cause of the light of the cars; textures, I avoid eating most of nuts, vegetables and fruits because of that; loud noises, wearing headphones that cancel most of the noises around with music, it's complicated because they don't work in specific scenarios that happen a lot at school; temperature, having a big change of temperatures makes me sick or when the temperature is too "a lot" for me I end up with stomachaches, panicking or easy to annoy– If not that I'll say not understanding sarcasm

I would say the blackmail or manipulation but I think my biggest flag is having a lack of empathy and almost 0 morals

Based in the few I know I can actually answer with The British is an ideal partner (maybe platonically?) but the most green flag I know is a user, close friend, called Mumu <3

Not saying a symptom to a doctor, that's my biggest fucking regret

DOGS- I HAVE TRAUMAS WITH THEM HOW THE FUCK I'M STILL ALIVE IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE?

Of course I do not love my mom, she doesn't love me either so corresponded hate 🫶🏻

My mom literally screaming when I was an infant «I wish you wasn't even born», «I'll hit you so you can cry for a good reason» and «You don't know how annoying you can be» but at least now just the last thing she says it lol she denies the rest it's annoying

Monster High, I traumatized my dad

When I get angry I confront people a lot– That will sure happen next week at least 3 days. But when I'm not angry I get confronted by almost anything I do

Introvert

I'm popular at school because I wear headphones in all moments, specially at classes, and because I get along with teachers actually so yeah "kinda" would be the right answer

Yeah I do, but then I remember I also manipulate people and I feel better

It would be probably my friends Koku or Barb– Koku would be "traumatized, kind and polite" while Barb would be "pendeja, brilliant and funny"

Manipulate, I'm a fucking Ougai Mori kinnie

Believe my words, believe me when I explained any sickness, take care of me, not having problems with my existence, being patient with me and Idk be a good not abusive dad when coming from an abusive family

Mix Beelzebub and Belphegor from Obey Me!, Sakunosuke Oda and Ryurou Hirotsu from Bungou Stray Dogs and those four together are my dad: Questionable past, can kill people, extremely kind, soft, sleeps, eats and smocks a lot, shares obsessions with me and well I took the autism from him

For you to have an idea of my love for my dad– People thought I was incestuous when I explained

I do not believe but my mother is fucking obsessed with it– She says that cancer is accurate for me but I don't know anything except the crying part. I cry a lot so at least that's accurate

I-I don't fucking know I'm so sorry

Yes I'm the type of person who falls in love because of a tiny kind act THAT'S HOW I STARTED HAVING A CRUSH IN A TEACHER

Just to my dad, I'm almost a copy-paste of him both physically and psychologically. The things I took from my mom is be 148cm/4'10" inches tall and be a tiny bomb

I read, listen to songs, practice a song or play in my cellphone

Not falling in love with toxic people that SOMETIMES are kind with me

I either cry or expect them coming is hilarious– Because this last option happens a lot so I just traumatize those people with anything or just be like "Idc"

Ougai Mori, Kunikida Doppo and Paul Verlaine, all of those from Bungou Stray Dogs

Cat person– I love cats and I'm fucking traumatized with dogs

Publish my works: poems, novels, short stories, etc

No

As a pansexual trans man, yes of course, I have a girl best friend and we'll never be in a romantic relationship

Satanism Of Lavey or the satanism that doesn't believe in the existence of Satan (because there are two types of Satanism lol)

I already got cancelled for loving Ougai Mori but to add something and not explain it further I'll say that defending a dictatorship

Thank you for the questions! I loved answering them 🥰🫶🏻

[still-a-morosexual-help]

Okay so. I’ve been playing OB! And I just got to the part where they discover Mc is the descendant of Human Lilith

Now my question is, does this counts as (The Mc and 7 bros) if they are relatives? Like a long line of lost nephews? Is this a Zeus situation where all that logic goes out the window?

After that, I don’t see them as datable anymore.

I see them at the end of the story visiting Mc’s house and relatives in a family gathering or something. Like their son/daughter just went to Hell and came back with 7 more uncles, the parents since then just invites the guys over for celebrations and dinners!

I went with the idea of a datable sim, came out with found family. Fuck! I love it?

Boom! So I'm actually officially??? qualified to answer this question! I was raised Buddhist & was actually good enough at the whole theory/concept behind it that I got the batch prize for religion multiple times/years (weird thing to brag about but my list of things I can brag about is v small so lemme have this one damnit). And reincarnation is a big thing in Buddhism so *jazz hands* yknow

I'm gonna answer this in 2 parts & add a bonus part for a "what if" AU;

1. Is MC Actually Related to Lilith the Angel aka The Brothers' Sister Lilith?

The Answer: No.

• Lilith died after the war. It's very specifically said that Diavolo reincarnated her as a human.

• Reincarnation, simplified, means that after a sentient being dies their soul is born again in the body of a whole new sentient being.

• Reincarnation allows a soul to live again as a whole new person with 0 ties to their previous life (unless the soul is born again within the same family). They may retain a couple memories from their previous life for their first 3-4 years of life* but that fades away eventually. They may hold on to a few characteristics but lots of unrelated people have the same characteristics so it's not a Big Deal.

* not sure how much I believe in reincarnation because it seems fantastical & a lot of this could just be childrens' brains being weird, imaginative and half formed but here's a few fun anecdotes of kids I knew talking about their "past lives"

01. My brother at age 3? would constantly tell us he was just staying with us till his real mother came to pick him up.

02. My cousin, an only child, would constantly tell his mother his older sister wanted him to change the lightbulb

03. There's one about my school friend (who currently may or may not hate me)'s little sister that I can't say because I'm lowkey scared she's got a tumblr account and on the 0.01% chance she sees this I might actually die so :D

04. I, till 4, apparently had a whole series of things I'd say about London of all places (I also constantly told one of my aunts not to sit in certain places cos there were ghosts already sitting there so I had a weird imagination so this should be taken with a boatload of salt); 1. Used to point at a very specific building and insist there was a similar one in London. 2. Talked about my dog Hiskie & how my parents? hid the both of us in the basement? when the police? were banging at our door - obviously we didn't have a dog or basement

• Lots of people see it as and call it "Rebirth" but I personally don't see it as that. You, the person you are & all that makes you up, dies. There's no second chance.* It's a way for your soul to live on but not you the person. Your soul gets to live on as a whole new person. You couldn't point at two strangers on the road and say "they're the same person" the same way you can't point at the person you were and the person your soul will become and say "they're the same person"

* In game, the brothers also see it as "rebirth" and as a second chance. They see it as Lilith surviving and living past the war. Which makes sense because;

• Rebirth/Reincarnation is not a phenomenon than occurs naturally in OM!. In OM!, canonically as seen in S2, peoples' souls are represented as candles that burn out. Once the candle burns out that's the end. Their soul is gone for good. Diavolo specifically uses his powers to stop this from happening to Lilith and to give her soul a second chance even if Lilith the person doesn't really get one. In a world where it's a known fact that once a person dies their soul is gone for good, finding out that your loved one, who died tragically and at a young age, 's soul got to live another life that was long and happy would be amazing. It would seem like that person got a second chance for real.

• A dog could die and the soul could be reincarnated as a human, who lives their life and gets married etc etc. This person is a human, not a dog in a human's body. (Though according to Buddhism you need to collect a lot of good karma to be born as a human & if you're a shithead your bad karma gets you demoted to an animal when you die* <- personally don't believe in this at all for a lot of reasons but mainly I know for a fact that there are animals living better & more luxurious lives than me so what is this bs?)

* 01. My grandma constantly told 5 yr old me that if I continued to blow spit bubbles I'd be reincarnated as a slug (this only made me blow more out of spite)

02. There's a saying? that you can tell someone who's pissing you off, which translated, basically means " I hope you get born as a dog in a shitty family" which I think is the funniest way you can tell someone to fuck off

TLDR;

* "human Lilith" probably looked nothing like Angel! Lilith, probably had a different name, canonically only remembered her life as Angel! Lilith when she died & her soul returned to its original state (she did have the soul of an angel though which probably affected her human body and which lead to MC's latent magic powers/why MC canonically doesn't seem to be 100% human/why MC's own soul is so shiny even though they're kind of an ass)

*MC is not related to the brothers' sister Lilith, so it ain't incest, if it were that means according to Buddhism everyone is always at a constant risk of accidentally participating in incest and beastiality which yeah....I'm not religious but good god would I fight someone who sees it as this

2. Are the Brothers & MC a Family - More Specifically A Found Family?

Answer: Yes.

• MC and the brothers are very much a family- more specifically a found family - something which is explicitly stated in OM! near the end of S2.

• Found families are as important as biological families. Their bonds are as strong, if not more so because they get the option to choose each other.

• But found families are gonna be messy because no one's gonna be actually related to each other & romantic and/or sexual chemistry can crop up. And that's normal.

• Depending on the found family, no one may take on more stereotypical family roles or certain people may rise up to take on those roles (eg: parental roles). With either of these types it's still pretty normal to date each other because they're not your real parents. Hell even normal friend groups have the "Mom Friend", that doesn't mean said friend can't date within their friend group.

• Most found families are friend groups who got closer and started seeing each other as family (it's also a very queer concept because lots of found families are queer people who came together because they couldn't get the love, acceptance & connection, all humans need, from their biological families).

• They're not "family" in the biological-related sense but rather in the "we care about each other above all else. we'll always have each others' backs. we'll call each other when we need help. we may fight but at the end of the day we love each other and will come together again". Again it doesn't mean they can't date within the group.

• In OM! however it gets Extra Messy because it mixes an adopted family and a found family. The brothers are a found family (the oddballs of the Celestial Realm who came together), but they're also an adopted family (adopted by Lucifer who saw them all as his brothers/kids) - the second part of this means they're actually brothers - they grew up together and are no different from biological brothers. None of them are gonna see romantic or sexual prospects in each other (with the exception of Asmo but that's just cause he's the personification of Lust + he always gets shut down by the rest).

• MC on the other hand is NOT part of their adopted family but IS part of their found family. MC's a stranger they met when they were all adults who became friends with them and who came to see the brothers as their (found) family and vice versa. This means MC dating the brothers would be completely normal and again not incestuous which I think is a lot of peoples' worry.

• The best example of a found family, with certain members taking on parental roles, that still has them dating/sleeping with each other within said found family is Community (the tv show which is getting a movie HELLO!!?!?). And this is an issue that community actually addresses in more or less detail;

Fucking watch this clip it's hilarious thank you

BONUS ROUND;

+ 1. What If MC Was Actually Related to Lilith the Angel; Would They Also Be Related to the Brothers?

The Answer: No.

• I've written a handful of human au! fics for the brothers and because of how short the time span in them must be, the whole descendent of a reincarnation thing doesn't work. Meaning I make MC a far off relation to OG! Lilith.

• For the answer to this question to be "No" you need to consider the background of two main points;

01. The Brothers & Lilith being an adopted family

-> Lilith & the brothers are canonically an adopted family. All the angels were created by God? presumably but they're not family/don't see themselves as family - the angels don't seem to practice family in the same way humans & demons do - I'm pretty sure the brothers are the odd ones out. Lucifer is the only one who refers to God as "Father" and Mammon canonically sees Lucifer as his dad. The brothers + Lilith are a family because Lucifer took them in one by one & referred to them as his family.

-> Am I saying being an adopted family makes their connections any less real or familial? No, calm down lemme get to my point.

02. MC's relationship with Lilith in this AU

-> MC (if MC was actually related to og Lilith) is a far off relation by thousands of years (my timeline between The Rebellion & S1 puts it at 5000+ years). Do you know who your blood relatives were 5000 years ago? Would you know who your blood relatives are 5000 years later?

-> To make up for the 5000 year time, in a human au MC would be a relative that's so far removed from your family that no one knows they or their own family branch even exists. It's doing a 23 and Me test & seeing you have some unheard of family line on the other side of the world. You're not gonna call them up and pretend to have some familial relationship with these complete strangers because not only will that be lowkey creepy, there's a high chance you won't even speak the same language.

• To make it easier to understand in our human lifetime perspective: Lilith and the brothers are part of a family where everyone was adopted by Lucifer (with only Satan being his biological son & only Lucifer being "God's" biological son). Lilith passes away and eventually the brothers meet MC who they befriend. Almost a year after they meet MC they accidentally discover that MC is a "so far off there's basically a 5000 year gap between us" relation of Lilith's. There'll be a lot of feelings involved, because Lilith's yknow dead, but after that's all dealt with in the grand scheme of things nothing's really changed. Lilith & the brothers' not being blood related didn't make them any less of a real family BUT Lilith & the brothers' not being blood related combined with how removed of a relative MC & Lilith are from each other means that there's no actual familial connection between MC & the brothers - they're not gonna look at each other and see their new sibling or something similar

Overall;

☆ Yes, MC & the brothers are a found family. It's one of my favourite things about OM! and one of the biggest reasons I stuck with this game for 2 1/2 years now (when a couple months is my usual attention span for games). OM!'s also the only dating sim ik of that pushed off the romance for one whole year (in game time) just so they can establish the found family aspect of it (ik there are lots of really good queer dating sims now - shoutout to The Arcana my love - but OM! is the queer dating sim for me)

☆ No, MC & the brothers aren't actually related and they don't see themselves as being related either

☆ Yes, MC can have romantic/sexual relationships with the brothers, it's nowhere near incest

☆ If you don't see the relationship between MC & the brothers as romantic then that's completely okay! While the events push the romantic aspect the main story lets you reject them and be only friends/family AND there are 7 more LIs available (though they are side characters & only get more screentime starting from S3)

☆ Here's more posts I made about Lilith that are related;

* I had about 3 more answered asks about Lilith's Reincarnation but I can't find them because the tagging system on tumblr is shit and I really need to make a masterlist of all my posts before I lose my mind trying to find a relevant post. Anyway this ask goes the most in depth about all of it so*

Lilith & MC's Story Relevance to One Another
