let us join hands

[technically-human]

A commission for @jeff-yoshi based on the fic Partridge in a Pear Tree by Vamillepudding (with their permission, of course!)

It's a sort of Cinderella story but also not really. Very good! reading it was a delight, and the pigeons are the stars of the show. So Disney princess coded, our dear Charles. And he's not even the prince here!

Y'all know any good Block Tales fanfics?

Already read:

And more.

edit 7/12/2024: Dang, 101 notes and only one recommendation?

“Supporting and enjoying actualized queer representation in media and men loving men are the real fetishs because they’re white. My fanfic porn fantasies about queer men could not possibly be a fetish because it caters to my exact preferences and arbitrary standards for a relationship. You’re also homophobic if you don’t also fan-canon this one character— who has been characterized as straight by the show runner and actors— as queer. It’s so clear they’re gonna give this character a queer catholic guilt arc, and then it’s INEVITABLE he’ll get with his best friend the exact way I fantasized. Your canon queer representation is SO OVER!”

—Some buddie shipper

“Oh! And the reason my fantasies about queer men are absolutely NOT a fetish is because the stories I read about two men fucking are all about brotherhood, taking it slow, and “doing it right,” as opposed to all that faggotry on screen. Your queer representation is CLEARLY a fetish because the characters kissed and only after that agreed to get to know each other and start dating. Queer people in romantic/sexual relationships are actually supposed to just be really good friends.”

—Another chronically online buddie shipper

The reason that y’all are uncomfortable with seeing two men be faggots on your screen unless it caters to your own personal (erotic) fantasies IS queer phobia. Y’all only really like and support us queer men when we’re theoretical. I do genuinely think many of y’all are disgusted by actual depictions of male homosexuality.

clegan drabble 💞📑⚖️

— secret relationship / lawyer au

Gale is deep in thought, staring at the papers in his hand with a slight frown. He doesn’t look up when someone knocks on his open office door — mainly because he can tell it’s Bucky without having to check. It’s evident by — well, everything, the rhythm of his steps when they approached, the way the air smells of smugness and his favorite cologne, and the firmness in which he knocked.

Fair enough, the footsteps continue further without waiting for invitation. Gale puffs out a breath, gesturing with his occupied hands, still not looking up. ”I know we’re supposed to be having dinner right now but I just got the new evidence on the Hausmann case this afternoon and- Mpfh!”

He’s very rudely interrupted by a pair of insistent lips pressing to his. Bucky isn’t bothered by him not being ready for it in the slightest, just pulls him close by the waist — which is not tiny by the way, no matter what Bucky keeps insisting every time he grabs it in bed — and bites into the lush lips with his own with a passion that suggests it would’ve been quite a while longer than a couple of hours since he last did it.

Gale surrenders to the antics like it was a natural disaster — why fight what is inevitable? — but when John snatches the papers from his hands and throws them carelessly to the table behind himself Gale makes a protesting sound and presses his newly freed hands to his chest in mild protest.

”John,” he whines and the smirk on Bucky’s face makes him want to punch him almost as much as he wants to kiss is again, ”what are you-” ”The damn new copying machine jammed again, and I figured the only way I wouldn’t kick it was if I could jam my tongue to the back of your throat in turn.”

Gale looks at him blankly. ”That’s. Not-” ”I would of course prefer to destroy it by having you over it so hard that they’d have to buy a new one. We could really help the whole office with one easy, selfless act, doll.”

Gale scoffs but he knows Bucky can tell he’s fighting a smile. The second kiss is more gentle but still quite too intense for a work environment. Bucky has one hand around Gale’s waist and the other on his cheek, Gale’s are resting lazily on his hips as they indulge in each other, breathe quietly in their lovers lips and enjoy the forbidden bliss of doing this at work — it feels more meaningful than it is, really, like they’re not only breaking the rules of their office but also the deeper system it is embedded to; pleasure at work fights with the ideals of capitalism themselves, Gale would probably muse if he wasn’t so damn busy not thinking about anything but how lovely it is to kiss someone you love. He pushes John gently towards the table behind him and exhales as he bites his lowelip when John pulls him against his spread legs.

He needs to catch his breath though, and that’s when he realizes they are not even as thinly veiled as he would have hoped. ”You left the door open,” he says, trying to push him farther so the pose wouldn’t be so damning, ”my secretary-” ”I sent him away,” John says, uninterested, and tries to pull Gale closer by his tie. The younger doesn’t budge, though, but rather lifts a hand to his own lips and then looks at the fingers as if he could from there see how swollen, how incriminating, the scene they make looks.

”Anyone could walk in.” John groans and bites the air between them, running his hands down Gale’s sides. ”Don’t get me more excited than I already am, damn, sweetheart.” ”Oh for fuck’s sake-”

Bucky kisses him again to silence him, and despite a weak fight Gale allows it well enough. After, when Bucky pulls away, he takes Gale’s face between his palms and makes him look into his eyes.

”Baby. Everyone else left like an hour ago. It’s 8pm. You work too much. Time to call it a night.”

Gale stares at him, blinking a couple of times before slowly checking his watch and realizing John is not joking. He really has been at the office for more than 13 hours. Oops.

”I…” ”Save it, cowboy,” Bucky says with the easiness that Gale so loves about him as he stands up straight and takes Gale’s jacket from the chair. ”I love how much you care. I also love that I get to be the one who tells you when you’re an idiot workaholic and need to go home for a bit so you can be an idiot workaholic tomorrow too.” Gale sighs dramatically but does put on the coat Bucky is holding up for him.

”Well,” he says sheepishly as Bucky drags him out of the office by the hand and stops to lock the door, ”I can’t cook anything nice to apologize at home but maybe I can think of something else to reward such patience for my crime of attempting to serve justice.”

Bucky chukles, leaning up from the lock and and taking Gale’s hand to his. ”That copying machine gets to live one more day then,” he says and kisses Gale’s knuckles. Gale tries to swat him but he dodges. They’re both giggling and Gale knows he must be too tired when he’s this careless at the office but to be fair it is late and everyone truly is home. He dares one more kiss when they wait for the elevator.

People at their office don’t need to know about his personal life. They don’t need to know he’s fucking his boss. They don’t need to know that it’s been going on for years but it wasn’t until yesterday when Bucky had taken him into a fancy restaurant and told him he loves him and wants to be more than friends who have sex sometimes (quite frequently lately) (and exclusively) but still, he wants to be even more than that. They don’t need to know Gale’s heart had bursted in the moment when his deepest, most hidden dream had come true, and butterflies don’t even begin to explain the sensations those words set in motion. They don’t need to know he and Bucky made love all night, that he fell asleep in Bucky’s bed, and that he plans on doing that again tonight.

He looks at Bucky and feels a fondness that’s almost like pain as it stretches over the places in him that used to be longing and achiching. He looks down shyly before raising his eyes again, kissing Bucky’s knuckles in turn.

”My place or yours?”

This moment was so cute I couldn’t resist 💜💙 I literally can’t get over how precious their interactions are! This fic captures all the characters perfectly and their dynamics are so fun and engaging! It’s such a love letter to both tmnt and Batman and I’m always in awe of the story and masterful combo of angst and humor! Give it up for @melonpalooza for having the best fics ever 🙌🙌

[littlemissmaladaptive]

I always get super sad when I realize I can’t fit all the stuff I want in my story. Like yes, I KNOW you’ve gotta kill your darlings and if you give in every time it’ll turn into unorganized fan service mush but also have you ever considered-

GIMMMEEEE. You actually DO need my random cute scenario that doesn’t move the plot forward and acts as pure brain candy. It can’t just be a headcannon. It doesn’t hit the sameeee. I need more time with my characters. I don’t care if this book is as long as the damn BIBLE. Yes, you WILL sit through eight chapters of my main love interests figuring out how to make banana bread as stupid silly teenagers AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

[nobodysuspectsthebutterfly]

What do you think is going on inside Robert Strong's helm? Is he 100% necromagic puppet, or is there still some notion that he is Gregor Clegane in there?

Even though I don't think Gregor has his own head inside his helmet anymore, I'm pretty sure he can't entirely be a "necro-magic puppet". Muscle memory, spinal memory, all that physical essence is still there. And Qyburn's necromantic theory was that some part of the soul still survives after death, so however he was able to bring Gregor back to life, I think there is indeed some part of his soul still in there too.

We'll have to see Robert Strong in action to see what that means, though. Whether it's something as clear as in one of my favorite fics (with actual Robert-Gregor POV and trigger warnings for that), or whether it's more like in my own long-delayed WIP where his "voice" could possibly only be in the viewer's mind, well, I just can't know for sure. Though I am certain that whatever it is, it will be as creepy as hell.

Doodle based of this fic.

You should read it. It's Blocktales x Phighting.

This one was made on my phone

Edit: the link doesn't seem to be working. It's called "Oh come on, ANOTHER world? (Phighting/block tales isekai)" by Treefrogger.

REBLOG TIME 🗣🗣🗣

[kyouka-supremacy]

What are your favourite akuatsu fics?

If you're looking for recommendations, please try checking out my fic recs tag! The bsd fic tag is where I reblog all the fics I want to reread later, so I think that's a good starting point as well (although please note that my queue is still stuck on April 2023, so it'll take a while for fics that I've read after that date to be reblogged).

If I had to name my favourite fics... I haven't been reading a lot of fics recently, and it always makes me uneasy to put down a list because I definitely am going to forget some that I adore and it feels unfair, but on the very top of my mind (and also with the disclaimer of these being like, personal favourites. Not necessarily recommendations, just some fics that I love reading to no end)

↳ fermata by ayanuz (zigur)

Friends to lovers sskk mean so much to me

↳ Chapter 2: While the Other is "Asleep" from my pretty baby holds me down by ChaSeuBao

Without exaggeration, I know this fic by heart at this point. I just have such a soft spot for it, I've read it very early when I got into the fandom, and it's such a young and carefree portrayal of sskk, it tastes so sweet. I feel like it shaped a lot of how I see sskk.

↳ someone to share the silence by UnicornFlowers

Don't we all need Akutagawa breaking down from time to time

↳ midnight, somewhere by hybridsunshine

I love sskk being sskk. When their relationship is so personal and unique and specific to them that you can't put labels on it.

↳ split lips, soft teeth by wildsuns

An incredible fic, honestly. Rewinds my brain every time.

↳ I love you by averagecerealenjoyer

I love this one so much it's only 822 words so it's the perfect fic to read right before going to sleep when you're too tired to do anything else. I've read this one countless times.

↳ i’m safe! i’m whole! i've got it under control! and pretty much everything else by lizandre

Their works are like a sskk bible to me. Unbealivably good prose and spectacular characterization. Truth to be told I can never read their works too often because they will send me into an exhistential crisis / will not be able to think about anything else for the rest of the day.

↳ For hunger is to give the body what it knows it cannot keep by hannieuphoria

That awkward moment you're so blown away by a fic you end up surpassing the comments words limit. I have a thing for sskk finding the strength to be soft with each other.

[saviourkingslut]

insane to me that people will still do character analysis of 3h characters and then say dimitri's representing the "extreme of tradition" or some shit (when edelgard is the extreme of progress or whatever) like do y'all ever use ur brain to look at and engage with the actual canon material without picking bits selectively or wilfully misinterpreting lines and events so that your argument seems substantiated or are you completely without integrity whatsoever. 'analysis' my fucking ass.
