[s-rolldown-s-fork]

I just realized Chilchuck is Five Hargreeves

Old man but looks like a kid externally... Estranged wife... Trying to prevent the end of the world... Their attitudes even idk it's been a while since I watched umbrella academy

[bobbydagen24]

if/when we do get a Bro zone centered Christmas Special how do you think Branch will be around His Brothers?

so the story options are either he's still pretty scared of them leaving again if anything goes wrong so he's basically a nervous wreck on Christmas trying to make sure things are perfect for them.

or now that the High emotions of the events of TBT have had time to wear off Branch has gone back to being a bit bitter towards them especially since its coming up to Christmas and all it makes him think is how they were never there for any of the Christmases he's had in the past.

and maybe the Bros keep attempting to Reach out to him but he keeps just making passive aggressive Remarks and pushing them away again and again maybe to the point some of them eventually wonder if its even worth trying since it seems like he may never be able to forgive them.

but Floyd or maybe even Bruce gives the other Brothers a kick up the backside basically saying that they've all already done enough giving up when it comes to their family and that they still shouldn't just give up even if he does never forgive them they should just keep fighting for the family and being there for him.

tbh even tho I wasn't too keen on the idea at first the more I think about it the more I love the idea of Branch going back to being a bit bitter and resentful towards them.

leaving aside the comedic aspect of it but actually just thinking out that little story scenario made me think there could legit be some cute potential as well in him going back to being mad with them now that the High emotions of the events of the Third film have died down.

as the Bros choosing to not give up this time and stick at trying to have a nice Family Christmas Despite Branch seemingly trying to give up on having any kind of Relationship with them would be a nice little story I think and would be a good way to actually show Bro zone trying to Redeem themselves somewhat.

anyway what do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts I tend to kinda get lost in my own head sometimes when thinking about this stuff lol.

[azurelyy]

If it's not a bother can we have the best bros Kankuro and Gaara for the ask game? And thank you.

Definitely not a bother at all, thank you for the ask!

Kankuro:

1: sexuality headcanon

He sounds so fucking hot when he comes. He just makes this low, low groan that rumbles his entire chest. It's addictive. Not to mention the fact that this means he's going to hold you in his muscular arms so tightly, cradling you to him like a prized possession, as he chants "IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou."

2: otp

I am going to get so much shit for this and everyone is going to scream at me about how this is a crack ship but I don't care. One day, when I write this stupid fic idea I've had of them and finally just put it into the world, maybe you'll come around. You will understand just how PURE AND GREAT these two are... SaiKank. Watch out for them, they're coming! Haha.

3: brotp

I don't really have one...sdkfhnsdkjfn. I'm sorry lol.

4: notp

I guess Hinata? I don't see that working out well for them lol.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Kankuro is the type to go on a date with someone and literally zone out as they talk because he's too busy thinking about how cute they are. And then he gets embarrassed when he has to admit it to them...

"Uh... What? I'm really sorry, I wasn't listening because I was looking at your lips. You have a really cute smile."

6: favorite line from this character

I have no idea. I'm sorry lol.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

He's funny and I like to think I am also funny.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

The puppets. Need I say more?

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

I don't think he's really either? I guess he is sort of problematic because he was kind of a douche during the chunin exams, so I'll go with that.

Gaara:

1: sexuality headcanon

Submissive. He is the sub and there's no arguing with me. He can take control if needed but that is definitely not his preference. He will let you do ~whatever~ you want to him, and he is very good about repaying the favor back to you ;)

2: otp

GaaLee <3. My little babies.

3: brotp

Naruto! I love how inspired by Naruto Gaara is. I think it's adorable. And then all Gaara wants is to make Naruto happy... I am MELTING AHHHHH.

4: notp

Naruto. I do think Gaara has a crush on him, but I don't ship it. Naruto was never going to reciprocate (sorry!) and so Gaara should move on to someone better... Like Lee <3.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

He's a snuggler. He does not want space between him and his partner in bed. If there is even a slight gap, he will assume they're upset with him.

6: favorite line from this character

“I think of you as a friend. I used to think “friend” was just another word… Nothing more, nothing less. But when I met you, I realized what was important was the word’s meaning.” 

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I swear I don't mean to keep making these so sad but like, I GET his loneliness. Not so much anymore, but back in the day... Yeah.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

This picture:

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinnamon rollllllll~ He is a rare character that went from problematic to cinnamon roll and honestly, we LOVE the development!

2024 media thread part JANUARY :D

1st January: Super Mario Bros. Movie

finally got around to watching this, and okay, yeah- it was a lot better than i expected. a good time! really fun to watch! it definitely felt like actual fans worked on it, or at the very least, that Nintendo kept a real close eye during production. loooved the little nods to canon; when Pauline showed up, i literally paused to excitedly tell my mom about who that was, haha. also LOVED the difference uses of power ups!! tanuki suit AND cat suit my beloved :]

Bowser was definitely the high point, like!! that IS my little guy!! Jack Black did SUCH a good job, and man. the ANIMATION. the bits where he got all snarly was SO good. would have loved to watch those on the big screen. Luigi was also very Luigi, which i always appreciate. Mario was... eh? not bad! Chris Pine did an okay job, and while i would have preferred something more, it was... fine. and Donkey Kong was a whole lot of fun, actually? tempted to check out his games, because i did really like him

meanwhile, my BIG BIG complaint, is Peach. like, holy fuck. they absolutely butchered my girl! like, yes- as characters, none of them have a lot of personality to work with, but they're archetypes. you're supposed to push within the archetypes- they even did this with Mario. but they just- they completely abandoned who Peach is, as a character. straight up just wrote Daisy instead, which is. really frustrating! and i dislike it A LOT, because there is so much you can do with Peach as a character, and they didn't even try

but otherwise- fun movie! could have been so much worse!

4th January: Outpath

really relaxing and chill game, where you basically just run around collecting resources, upgrading stuff, and unlocking more island. definitely one of those 'put on some music and zone out for a bit' games. that is not a negative

really liked the graphics, and it was fun to just- run around? you get more movement upgrades as you go along, and it actually plays really nicely. also some tasty environmental sounds

i'm not a 100% done with it yet, but i hit the end credits, so. not sure i'll get all the achievements, but i do intent to go back and clean up some loose ends. also really like how it incorporates some idle elements, like you still getting credits(/money) while being offline. makes it more rewarding to open it up and vibe for a bit

i do think there was an.. attempt? at some kind of story, but i entirely missed it, so i guess that's my only real critic. it was just a fun chill game to sink like, 25 hours into lol

9th January: Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight

i've had this game in my library for literally who knows how long, and it's one i've always been aware of, since it was really big back in the day, and oh my god. oh my god, why did i not play this sooner?

it's rather short, took me around 7 hours, but it just- it nails what it wants to be, this tough little game with so much moodiness and tragedy, and i'm so enamoured. i tried playing the original one before this, but it wasn't quite hitting, but man. this one just. it hit so fucking good

there's so many layers here, so many unspoken little details. so so much tragedy you could really dig your fingers into, and as a Tragedy Enjoyer, ooooh it hits good

i'm considering either replaying it myself, or watching a LP and then writing some fic, because there is a little thing hiding here, something i want to put words to. it's good, can't wait to check out the rest, and the upcoming sequel/finale. also, the game is gorgeous

18th January: Switch OVA

so Switch is a two episode long 'adaptation' of a manga, and while it very much just drops you into the middle of the plot, it- works? like, i personally wasn't missing anything, and the case they chose to adapt works really well as a teaser for the manga, because i did leave it considering checking out the manga, and while the whole thing isn't anything to write home about, i did enjoy myself

(i also watched the whole thing on my phone, curled up in bed, so that did maybe increase my enjoyment. it was cozy! what can i say!)

funnily enough, i did walk into this thinking it was a yaoi, and while i don't think it is, there really was nothing to disprove me of this assumption. there's literally a moment where protag guy gets told 'he likes' the other protag guy, and he bLUSHES. LIKE. STRAIGHT OUT OF A YAOI FR FR

all in all, it was honestly just a really cozy time. it wasn't long enough to lose my interest, and there was enough in it to keep it- and i really like the design of the red haired guy! very simple, but really appealing too. i genuinely might check out the manga, my interest is definitely piqued

[simiansmoke]

@wolfpackmuses cont.

"Hah, finding time to relax is easy-peazy. You just ignore everything and taaaake a nap. When was your last vacay, any-way?" When it came to having a good time (not a long time) never really took the Kong prince much to settle in and add his vibe to the scene's vapors. Granted, a long time spent in the springs was usually not a possibility given the confines of how fur was so frustratingly insulating at times; nice if he wanted to go lord over club penguin for the day, but otherwise not a fair fit for their tropical kingdom. The fact that the sky was still weeping cooling tears onto the heated pool helped made the Kong feel a little bit better, and he flexed his shoulders upwards to accept the brisk offering from the canopy when some creature or another passed by overhead to dump more than a few droplets onto them as it hopped by from some unknown heights, which earned a smile plastered firm to the corner of his lips as he felt the heat to his core sink to Goldilocks zone again.

"Heh. Struggling, Fido?" He muses, noticing how the wolf's tongue escapes him again. Maybe he was lucky when it came to fur seeing as he actually had a few naked spots on his skin for airing, but the wolf didn't seem to have such luxury. Unless he decided to shave a few spots of course. "Gotta get lucky and hope for some wind up top to knock some leaf puddles on your head!" Though in normal circumstances, being suddenly drenched from a flying squirrel's mistakes seemed like more of an unlucky matter. The stupid little dizzy thought made him chuckle as he once again surrendered to saying just about anything and everything that came to mind. Though by now he could probably graduate from 'saying' to 'slurring'.

"Get lucky, get luuuucky! Up all nigh to GET LUCKY-" Cupping his hands around his mouth like a megaphone, he aimed the blast up and waited.

Then when a resounding, but distant 'WHOOP' sounded along with a shouted, but muffled response of 'alllllllllllniiiiiiiiiiight!!' DK snorts and side eyes the wolf.

"...an to thinkkkk...the humans gotta use weird technical mag to jus do that. Uh-...I think 'uigi called it...tweeting? Eitherrr way, our way's better!" And louder. And a bit more lost in translation, but hey. Surprises were fun. Most of the time...

Now situated in his fallen stupor - half straddling his guest in the pool and weighing the other's once floating legs down as he proceeded to squint at the other's rosy hue that seemed to only make it out thanks to the harsh class between red and white. "Weeell-...what kinda bounties were those? I mean if there's no story about it, did it even happ?" Basically, pics or it didn't happen bro. Though why the 'bounty' hunter was in town, he couldn't be sure. Had Dad called him? Seemed unlikely. If there was something out in jungle that needed beating up, DK was like - the kingdom's first layer of defense to call and usually the last.

"Heh, beats me. Maybe you'reeee just here on account'ah he wants to scare me sober?" He wouldn't put it past Cranky either...the old bastard. "-or - or...!" A tad more excitable after the partial rejuvenation via the rainfall, DK claps his hands on each of the wolf's shoulders and used them to help lift himself up slightly to feel more of the cooler air. "-maybe he'ssss...gonna train an ASS-a-sin fer our kingdom...that'd be sweeeeeeet- aw fuck. Why's it not mee? IT COULDA BEEN MEE-" Lip pursing at the perceived injustice, DK sighs into a slight slump, resting his weight back into his hackles where the wolf's paws rested.

"Nobody's gonna tell ME I wouldn' be the bes ass-'sin." Just like no one's gonna tell him he's going to slurr himself into a situation if he wasn't careful; but she was not there...dead and buried next to self-respect. "Heh, your...hand?" He's curious, rocking back into one while he leans sideways to retrieve the other from the water and bring it over to his head for a quick inspection. Yep, just as he thought. With one finger, he ... pokes dark little toe bean. "Boop! I knew I felt some beans back there...watcha gonna do with all those beans?"

[ducknotinarow]

[2k3 Mikey and 2k12 Casey]

Casey was glad that both Worlds used the exact same currency, he'd rather not have to ask to borrow cash from the Casey of this World, cause then he'd have to explain why he needed said money and he would rather not. Not that Casey was embarrassed by it, it was more just cause of how much of a 'mans man' this Casey turned out to be.

He and Mikey had talked about stuff when doing each others nails, and Casey felt a sense of solidarity with them. Sure, he let Angel do his makeup all the time, because he was a good older brother like that, but part of himself also enjoyed wearing the stuff just cause. And it seemed like Mikey was on the same page of him. Made him wonder if his own Mikey was like that.

Trying not to dwell too much, Casey found out the orange banded Turtle, small orange palette of eyeshadow, and brush in hand, he offered them a grin,

"Hey, I uh, I gotcha somethin'," Casey held it out to them, merely grinning at them, "Yanno, 'cause of all the stuff we talked 'bout the other day - it's just, I dunno, nice knowin' there's someone out there that, yanno, gets it."

| Muse interactions Mikey felt over the braided ends of his mask smiling a little, it wasn't anything big or special maybe? But it was a little something that he was getting a lot of enjoyment from. They didn't have hair but Mikey did often envy how April could style her he's up in that bun with the bits hanging on the side. Or how Casey just never. NEVER> Seemed to do a thing with all that hair he had. Like come on man tie it back! do a half do even! Whats even the point of all that hair jeez. He huffs a bit mentally moving his thoughts off that topic as he playfully tossed the braided rope of his mask over his shoulder grinning hard as he did. Yeah it was just fabric tied to cover over his face and not like an extension of himself? But well no it was also that just not physically attached.

Michelangelo didn't often put this much thought behind all of this. He just make off hand comments like how he was the pretty one of his brothers and what not. But well having someone who got it? Dunno maybe that had something to do with why he was thinking about it all more and showing off his pretty braid that his lil bro Casey did for him. Happily bragging about how it made him look ten times better than his brothers and how they were all jealous of his beauty. Well clearly that was going to be the case after all. Nails were nicely painted, he had the braid even, something he could undo when not right in the vibe of it.

And well he dunno sure he makes remarks like wanting to be a maid of honor when Raph one day gets married to Casey. Normally just meant with a look that came off as everyone thinking he was confused or something and meant a groomsmen. But now? he was sort of embracing it even more. He just never felt like a guy all the time it's not that he felt like a girl either something in between maybe? Nah more like it just varied at times if anything. Eh stuff like this wasn't really talked about so it did give him a lot of appreciation for his lil bro because well Casey was similar though for them they didn't feel like one or the other. But he got the whole I like wearing this stuff because well I like looking pretty. Course Mikey had a slight break down when they went and braided his mask tails but it just FELT nice to be accepted and understood. It not like if he told his brothers they wouldn't accept him. They just might not get it, but they would accept him if he voiced all this to them it's just hard he guesses? "uhh my head hurts I don't spend this much time in there." Mikey says to well no one really just himself, staying locked away in his mind wasn't always the best he needed to express his thoughts. Mikey rubbed at his head noticing he been so zoned out he pretty much missed his whole movie he sat down to watch. Grumbling a little to himself as he went to start it over he caught sight of his favorite human and favorite Casey at that. Moving to the left a bit so they could sit with him if they wanted as he beamed happily at them "Hey ya little bro what's up? No chihuahua boy with you uh?" He meant their Raph, likely they were with Donnie they seemed to take a liking to the tiny red banded turtle.

"Hey, I uh, I gotcha somethin',"

" A gift for moi?" Mikey asked holding a hand to his plastron as he acted out shocked and delighted in the moment. And soon he held out his hands for send gift like the greedy little turtle he was, when he was met with a palette of makeup? he hummed a bit curiously tilting his head to the side as he looked it over before taking it from Casey's hands. He seen one before from the time they had lived with April, she had a few in her bathroom and he asked her what they were. At first he thought it was paint or something. Till April had put some one to explain. He never made a single mention of wishing to wear makeup himeself after that but well thought it. The nail posih he could sort of get by with since he liked to paint the decks of his skate board and more when ever he could. But his face? Looking back to Casey who was just grinning at him looking a little unsure in the moment.

"Yanno, 'cause of all the stuff we talked 'bout the other day - it's just, I dunno, nice knowin' there's someone out there that, yanno, gets it."

Mikey let that sink in a moment, of course, it was a big deal for him to have someone to share this with but. it was also a big deal for Casey to have someone out there he could express this all towards especially being in a whole strange world. He smiled and held up the pallet "This is great! and you tots nailed my shade of colors dude! course you would my lil bro clearly got an eye for taste after all." Mikey praised and prided over as he spoke up.

Reaching up to tug his mask down a moment "what doya think uh? maybe this one here since it matches my mask so well?" he went and popped it open a bit to excited to hold off but well it wasn't just for him on way he jumped in on this right away. Casey was boosting his confidence so if he could boost their own in return? If big bro could dive right one in on all this and be an example maybe? he was trying to emulate how he sort of viewed his own older brothers if he was being honest. He turned off the tv and hopped to his feet so he could use the reflection a moment on the screen. The bathroom would be a better place for sure but he was following his impulsive action through right now as he did his best to color over his eye lid.

"hmm yup the perfect set of colors for me what do ya think?" He asked turned to look over his shoulder at Casey a moment as he closed the pallet and then eyed Casey a moment humming under his breath. "I know blacks your whole thing, minus traces of red" He smirked a bit hey big brother or not he would still tease them just a bit on their obvious infatuation for their boyfriend. "but I bet you would rock sliver." smiling as he moved to get up now mode changing a bit a he set a hand on Casey's shoulder

"But thanks I uh ya know this means a lot to me I dunno how to word it, thing is I haven't even told my brothers or dad about this stuff. Not that it's a secret they just think i'm a goof I guess?" he shrugs his shoulder cause well yeah he was so of course they might not get it all that well. "So it's well nice that you do ya know get it? and ya know I know ya guys gotta go home one day but well I'm still on your side okay? so when you're ready to tell whoever I'm there for you okay bro?" Mikey smiles once he finished his rambling, soon his smile drops as he points at his face brow knitting up in clear concur.

"okay but be honest did I fuck that up just now? cause I'd like to not be a mess the first time I wear make up?"

[azuremallone]

@althe1st - No, there wasn't a reference to any gender in my response to you. So I did not misgender you. I was just correcting the "Bro" because I'm very much and quite happily biologically female. Though, many think women don't exist. I'm also not a condescending kind of gal. I'm not explaining to you your own history, I'm elaborating on the topic being discussed - and I didn't even say anything about your history in my post, leading me to believe you have my response confused with someone else's response. Either case, it's a moot point. No: I am not being condescending, I'm discussing perspectives.

Per what you mentioned about Nazi Germany being primarily focused on war production: True, but also a bit inaccurate. Russia and China equally seized companies for the purposes of war production, don't have equal pay policies, and use unpaid forced labor by POWs, indigenous people, and other minorities, inclusive of murdering queers. Specifically, China presently uses the Uyghur people as slaves with the intent to ethnically cleanse them from the face of the Earth for standing against the Chinese government. Russia, on the other matter, did the same thing to Jews.

Agreed that someone holding socialist views is not inherently a Nazi. However, one becomes such when their interest is when they support authoritarianism and indoctrination as methods to implement their vision of socialism. As a matter of direct reference: Pol Pot, Mao Tsung, Joseph Stalin, etc... Contradictory references being Khrushchev, who had to tote the line to avoid being assassinated while working to find a way out of entrenched Communism. The Cuban Missile Crisis wasn't his idea, it was his military and he was caught in a tough position: Say no and countermand the military to face a coup or hope that Kennedy could find a way out for the sake of the planet. Gorbachev, his protégé, was instrumental in negotiating a way out of Communism. However, Putin chose to re-enter it under a different label: "Not Communism", but all of the inclusive Authoritarianism. It's really an Empire of trash.

I have no intention of lecturing you about Germany's history. However, I would point out that visibility from the outside regarding your country's history offers a different perspective. I do understand, and have friends I've met in Germany, and I've lived in Germany long, long ago. The perspective from the outside is far more acute than the perspective from within. I'd even go so far as to say the outside perspective is a bit hyperbolic in terms of how the people in Germany at the time viewed it. Today, if one balances both perspectives against each other to find the commonalities of opposites, you'll reach the truth.

I didn't call Walz a Nazi because I don't like him. He is very similar to how Nazis really were back in the 30s as perceived by the German people at the time. The correlation is that our people see him in that same positive, happy, man of the people way. There's many photos of Nazi soldiers, officers, and officials enjoying time with children, their families, and helping or defending their communities. Then, those same soldiers are also glorifying and embellishing the positivity of their military service toward that defense of their communities.

In direct correlation: This is exactly the same thing Walz is doing.

He's glorifying his military career as a reflection on the great man he is, presenting himself amongst happy children, being a big cuddwy teddy bear. Kinda like this guy:

However, if that's the case, then why did he continue placing those with COVID with the elderly despite all the evidence it was introducing an 80% mortality rate amongst the elderly? Why did he establish a child tax credit while creating the most permissive abortion policies and funding for it? The intent there is to reduce the population in the poorest economic zones (minorities) and the tax credit to support the middle and upper class (predominantly white). Those are just two instances where ethnicity and phenotype is being targeted in his efforts to support communism through authoritarianism.

Kamala, for instance, is a big supporter of the views and visions of George Soros. She regularly speaks at his hush-hush, ultra posh, exclusively private engagements that anonymize at great lengths those in attendance. She meets with him and his son specifically, privately, and doesn't hide it. In fact, the son of George Soros has frequently visited the White House to meet with Kamala as an "advisor" to the Administration. More importantly, George Soros was raised in a family that was targeted by the Nazis, mysteriously fell victim to them, but somehow this 12 year old who saw the regime as a shining beacon of power in his native homeland survived unscathed?

There's terms for that: Conspirator. Traitor. Collaborator.

Yet, let's get back to focusing on Walz: Whose family came to the US from Nazi Germany. His father was an educator in the regime. James Walz taught the kids in Germany everything the regime told him to. Either he believed in it, or he didn't. And if he didn't teach it, he'd be disappeared. So curiously, was he one of the many true believer non-combatants who wouldn't be prosecuted for war crimes? The US had found that many in the KKK came from similar families. Not all of those families that immigrated from Germany at the time were true believers and left to flee Germany, mind you.

So I'm not painting with a broad brush. I'm specifically calling out Walz for what he appears to be: An authoritarian communist, akin to how the Nazis operated. Perhaps not of the same cloth, but enough to warrant a visceral image of the concern. Clearly, this guy is not even close to being Hitler and that would be a logical fallacy. The point of the meme was to indicate the correlation between Walz's views and how he has already implemented them as Governor of Minnesota. Minnesota is now an utter travesty following his role as Governor.

Kamala is the one I'm more concerned about, considering how deep into George Soros she is. Soros is a convicted international criminal, and even has been sentenced to the death penalty in one (Malaysia). His home country of Hungary doesn't want him back and has exiled him from it -- under two completely diametrically opposed regimes. That kinda tells you something when it's the one thing that everyone in Hungary agrees on.

It's because Soros is the one behind these mass illegal immigrations happening across the planet. He's behind ACAB also. And as a direct correlation: It's not beyond the pail to be presumptuous in considering Kamala and Walz to be a pair of collaborators of down home ol' fashioned Nazism pushed under a new flavor and slapped with a big ol' rebranding under Georgie there.

I'm also speaking from a first hand account of Human history. For more information about that, see my blog at https://azuremallone.tumblr.com/

Listen, staning politicians is bad. We must remain critical of people in power.

However it is funny to watch Republicans act like this man is the devil incarnate.

This is democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz Gov. Of Minnesota. This man looks like if a capybara was a person. He looks like he'd pull over on the side of the road and help you change a flat tire. He looks like he'd offer you hot coco from his thermos if you were out ice fishing with him.

[samuelroukin]

god, okay so re: gaz being very deliberate/smooth af and also liking to be called baby boy: for similar reasons I was thinking 'princess' (which I will admit is maybe personal bias sdfgsdfg but thats where my brain goes for pretty + cool + spoil me) at first in a generic way but then I was thinking about han calling leia princess to piss her off in star wars and uhh is it just me or do those two dynamics have a lot in common?? this might be kinda crack-adjacent but I can't stop thinking about it

like on the price/han side: kinda macho and cold and lives for the job, but the minute he actually likes someone (true for friends also but its infinitely worse for crushes) turns into a giant dork full of feelings with barely enough bluster for plausible deniability, and also like, the thing where when they get together he goes soft (princess (derogatory) becomes princess (mine)) and lets the other one get their way all the time, but can never fully let go of their original posturing,, also, teasing/banter as a form of affection, not in the ghostsoap way where they're playing gay chicken, but more of a feelings chicken thing bc once he starts caring he can't stop, and thats terrifying bc it messes with his self image, but at the same time needing to know that his feelings are reciprocated ... oh, and some angst about the other one being unattainable, too good for him etc

and then on the gaz/leia side: just to state the obvious - is it really necessary to look that good just to run around a war zone with your friends? no but they're going to do it anyway - gets rescued and skips past grattitude straight into 'I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind', anger tends to come out icy and cutting, it takes a lot to make them loose their composure/way with words, not just chatty or good with people but diplomatic (in the words are just another way to fight sense, and they want to win the war not just this battle), also, and this is one of the things that makes me think 'princess' in particular (in the sense of 'ruler in waiting'), they have pride but it doesn't seem to cost them anything to yeild to others when it makes sense, like, they're not self important people, they're people who are used to being important, and thats a big difference - at this point they're still quite young and have more qualifications than most people ever will but they don't have a big head over it bc they're not most people, and they know they have a long way to go before they reach their full potential (I'm not sure I'm explaining this well at all dsfgsdfgsdfg). also idk if this is confirmed or denied in canon anywhere but I'd like to think gaz has a real sense of being from somewhere (positive) and thats where some of his swagger and even keel comes from. idk if he still has that community to go back to or if he outgrew it (maybe being stationed in london wasn't working for more than just work reasons) but either way, that sense of identity tied to a specific place and time is another thing he's got in common with leia.

and then when it comes to the people they like, they don't hide it exactly, but it doesn't break their composure either, like they'll admit they like them back when they decide to do so and not a minute before, and you can see the crush on their face but its not straightforward sappiness, theres layers to it (and maybe they need a bit of a battle of wills to like someone that much in the first place, maybe theres a bit of conqueror in them and it wouldnt be fun if it was too easy), the only time you get raw emotion before they decide to confess is when they think the other person is really about to die.

also the scene from empire strikes back where leia kisses luke to make han jealous? I think that would totallyyy work with gaz kissing soap in front of price, like I think soap would be like 'yeah okay I'm enough of a bro/slut for this' and help gaz make it look good, thinks its worth the risk of punishment bc of how good ghost is gonna fuck him after, but no punishment is forthcoming bc price just watches gaz go and lets him get away with it, and thats when soap starts to realize there's maybe more to all of price and gaz's banter even tho its very PG compared to him flirting with ghost -- idk can you tell that I have a hard time getting into gaz pov lol? part of what I'm trying to solve here, and also one of the things I like about han and leia as a paralell is they spend a lot of time in the crushing but not fucking yet stage which is the hardest part of gazprice imo

I'd love to know if you agree or disagree with any of that charactarization but also feel free to ignore this weird tangent sfdgssdfg

i know way too little about star wars 😭 but gaz being called princess is 👀 (as long as it doesn't have the feminization thing that often goes along with it, but that might be personal bias against it on my part lol)

also this "(princess (derogatory) becomes princess (mine)" god yes

also also this "gaz kissing soap in front of price, like I think soap would be like 'yeah okay I'm enough of a bro/slut for this' and help gaz make it look good" yesssss

i think all of this makes sooo much sense even with my limited sw knowledge, i think you're getting him pretty good (just like price will when --)

and another thing i think he has in common with her is the way they're both stubborn as FUCK

"Ghiaccio is Sorbet and Gelato's son"

okay love it, but what if we add Pesci in the mix?? That man was able to point out the exact shade of nail polish Sorbet wears and that was the only give away that the picture frames had his body inside. Imagine how well you have to know someone to single them out by their nail polish??

Because of this I propose that Pesci, Sorbet, and Gelato have fathers + son bonding time where they give each other manicures and Sorlato provides a safe place for Pesci when he needs a lot of comfort or a judgement free zone. While yes Prosciutto is his big bro, from we see in canon,,, that man's tough love approach isn't always reliable and comforting compared to two ice cream dads. Plus a part of my backstory for Pesci is that he grew up around the la squadra members due to Pros joining and we all know how opportunistic Sorlato is when they see a fatherless child 👀👀

YESYESYES

I've also headcanoned that Pesci grew up around LS because, due to his mother's failing health, he often had no choice but to stay with the squad. If you count this time not officially on the team he was actually present well before Ghiaccio showed up (I think I said somewhere Ghiaccio would have hated him because of it, but anyway). Sorbet and Gelato would have admired Prosciutto's attempts to guide the boy (I think he would have been a lot softer before Pesci officially joined the team- and nobody would have ever dreamed of signing him on before his stand developed) but they also would have felt that, even with the massive age difference, it just isn't right for an older sibling to be forced to be a parent.

I guess you could argue the need for parental guidance wasn't so strong with Pesci because, at least up until age 15 his mother was still alive and there for him, even if she couldn't take care of him physically. And unlike Ghiaccio's parents, she was genuinely a really good mother so its not like Pesci was ever in want of good guidance. Still, Sorbet and Gelato would have really pitied him (especially Sorbet, having had a chronically ill mother himself) and wanted to help him anyway.

Omg just had a thought... what if Pesci was actually really scared of LS at first? It makes sense because Prosciutto would see letting him stay with them as a necessary evil, but would be reluctant to talk to him about their work because at the end of the day he's still a civilian. So poor Pesci knows these men are dangerous but can't ask his brother questions to reassure himself about them. Ghiaccio and Melone aren't around yet so there's nobody near his age either. It would have been terrifying. It would be really sweet for Sorbet and Gelato to teach him that no matter what his big bro says, it's okay for him to talk to them and make friends. He can feel safe here, and even if he isn't on the team he's still part of their family.

in terms of future story concepts which idea do you think has more potential Poppy and Viva's mom? or Bro zone's parents?

since their both things the fandom often talks about either by just wanting them mentioned so we finally have answers or by actually having them make an appearance and be central to the plot of a future film.

and I can't imagine a future film doing both since that would be way too similar to TBT cramming in new siblings for Both Branch and Poppy in 1 film thus making for a cluttered film that didn't have time for everyone.

so yeah assuming either of these ideas do become plot points in the future which one would you prefer? and what kinda thing would you like them to do with the characters?

in terms of Bro zones parents I've said before but I like the idea of them being dead beats who left when when Branch was either a baby or an egg.

and even when they were around they were crappy parents either neglectful or emotional abusive maybe they forced the kids to be the perfect band Mistreating them in the process hence where JD got that whole attitude from.

and in present day they could maybe come back asking for help from their sons which could cause a bit of drama among the family since Branch could be willing to give them a second chance and want to get to know them. meanwhile the older bros don't want anything to do with them and don't even want to help them out which Branch could see as hypocritical given what the brothers did and the fact he gave them another chance.

I wouldn't want this to be yet another rushed forgiveness story tho so I'd have the brothers begrudgingly agree to help have the parents slowly worm their way in with their kids over the film.

especially Branch given he was too young to remember anything about them but in the end the parents haven't at all changed and once they get what they needed with the help of their sons they betray them and leave them trapped.

and here the bros all finally have a proper conversation about everything Branch maybe says he was just desperate for their family to be complete and normal.

and that he just wanted parents in his life for the first time since he was a little kid just like his Brothers did.

tho this could lead to JD Bruce and Clay and Floyd to a lesser extent finally being fully honest about why they didn't want them back in their lives.

revealing to Branch that everything wasn't as story book perfect in their family before he was born as he seemed to think.

and their parents were always selfish and cruel maybe they actually forced them to start the band simply so they could profit off of them and as I said they were the ones who originally pushed for perfection.

emotionally abusing their kids in the process and eventually after they did leave when Branch was born JD could remark in a guilty way that he followed in their footsteps since it was what he thought he had to do to make their family work.

I like the idea of Brozone's parents being used to show a sorta generational trauma sorta thing with JD and I like the idea of the Bros being given a bit more damage to be honest lol.

it helps to explain their reasons for leaving a little better after they saw JD become like their parents used to be and it gives them some trauma of their own to relate to Branch over.

personally that's how I'd use Bro zone's parents as I feel it'd be pretty silly to have yet another film just about reconnecting with dead beat family members who still get portrayed as decent people despite being selfish and crappy.

frankly the Trolls Team just aren't very good at writing those kinda stories.

anyway as for the idea of Poppy and Viva's mother I'm honestly less filled with ideas personally I don't see her as a story concept having as much potential as Brozone's parents.

maybe if she were used it could be in a similar way she left when Poppy was only a baby and Viva was younger and comes back asking for help while claiming to want her daughters back in her life.

she could turn out to be a villain later on who doesn't give a stuff about her family even after all this time and ultimately she's the main villain of the film.

I just feel less inspired by her because overall the Poppy family dynamic is pretty trouble free even tho Viva and Poppy deffo should have issues with Peppy.

while I'd argue having another movie just about reconnecting and forgiving dead beat family members would be kinda annoying.

it is a possibility that that could be the case and maybe the mother is just made someone who Ran away from responsibility but is back and genuine about wanting another shot.

only thing that would interest me in this idea is maybe giving Poppy some angst out of it tho that would also have to include Viva as well.😅😅😅😅

tho given how Poppy was a baby during the escape and she didn't even remember her own sister the idea of her remembering her own mom wouldn't really make any sense annoyingly.

IDK what do you think?

[pleuvoire]

my translation :)

Yaguruma and Kageyama were both introduced as elite characters, so it's surprising that they've run off into the gutter in the second half.

Tokuyama: Yeah, since Yaguruma's revival I've put a lot of effort into building his character. I think he must be kind of insane, and I have to figure out to what degree I want to convey that. But he also has scenes like slurping cup ramen and falling in love [with Mamiya Rena], which were not at all part of the mental version I had of him, so I questioned myself and worried endlessly. But then, as if someone else understood my struggle, on the Toei homepage it said about Yaguruma, "Stir things up, within the boundaries of a children's show" (laughing). So I thought that, to take it positively, I could just relax and not think about it too hard.

For Kageyama in particular, his character is constantly seesawing back and forth, wasn't that difficult?

Uchiyama: Honestly, it doesn't make me go "Huh?!" as much as it did at the beginning. On the contrary, part of me has started to look forward to seeing how his character will change next. He's not so much changing gradually as brazenly flipping every time, enough to make you go "Who are you?!" (laughing), so I've decided to just play him as being super contradictory.

When Yaguruma said "become my little brother", it was really shocking! I thought, why his little brother...?

Tokuyama: To me, he's saying things like "become my little brother" and "let's fall into hell together" to manipulate him. They aren't just sweet invitations...

Uchiyama: At first, I felt the same - even though he was calling them brothers, they didn't feel like the type of pair who could trust each other to fight back to back. I think Kageyama himself doubted that, somewhere inside of him. And another part of him was gunning for it, thinking "maybe, if things work out..." And now they're best bros. (laughing)

It looks like you're really in sync performance-wise, when did you feel that starting to happen?

Tokuyama: Around the time of Yaguruma's revival. We had a lot of scenes together, and we'd wrap up at the same time and go get something to eat together, stuff like that. We hang out regularly, and we get along really well together. I don't hold anything back, and I encourage him not to do so either.

Uchiyama: Because if someone holds back on me, I end up doing the same.

So as actors, how do you view each other?

Tokuyama: Not just as an actor, but as someone living as a Rider now, I feel like he's - and I mean this in a good way - awkward about his performance. He doesn't pull any clever tricks.

Uchiyama: When Tokuyama-san flips his switch, it's really amazing. Between talking to him on the studio bus versus when he gets on set, everything about him is different. Since I'm always the closest to him, I can tell even from his smallest gestures, "Ah, he's completely in the zone now!"

Tokuyama: Even though I don't notice it myself...

Uchiyama: My parents are certified teachers, so they're always telling me "You could learn a thing or two from that Tokuyama-san, being that composed while crawling around on all fours!"

Tokuyama: Make sure you write that down! (laughing)

Uchiyama: If it were anyone other than Tokuyama-san, I don't think we'd be nearly as good a combo. Tokuyama-san, I'm glad to have you ♥

But right when you've finally become a powerful combo even in-universe, Kageyama got turned into a Worm and Yaguruma had to defeat him... That sounds so sad! Though I haven't watched it yet. (?)

Uchiyama: Yeah, I feel that way more than anyone (laughing). I was hoping there'd be a final boss at the end that everyone would work together against...! Though in the end, the way I can't really tell what the Hoppers were there for, or what Kageyama was fighting for, it's quite...

Tokuyama: Personally, I think the fact that Yaguruma was searching for the light is exactly what let him find a partner, and now he'll sink even further into darkness and pain... I want to hurl that story [of their last scene] at the audience.

Uchiyama: Since Kageyama realized he was a worm, he didn't want to become a rerun of Kamishiro Tsurugi - he wanted to die as himself.

Tokuyama: It's all right, I won't let that happen. (T/N he's speaking as yaguruma here, using "ore" instead of "boku" like he usually does.) No matter what acting you do, my reaction is going to be totally different, so even if you turn into a Worm, I'll still look expressionless. Uchiyama: If you do that, even my face will change when I die. I just want us to keep being brothers until the last shot of my final moments. Tokuyama: But my (T/N still "ore") ideal vision is that, even if we couldn't be "perfect harmony" in your last moments, we're still Yaguruma Sou and his dear subordinate Kageyama. Like we finally found a place to belong... I want it to end with a little bit of hope. Uchiyama: I feel like, when Kageyama turns to Yaguruma, he's already found it. If he didn't find it, he could just run from there. But instead he faces it head-on. Tokuyama: And instead, Yaguruma accepts that and strikes him down. And that's the "perfect harmony" those two end on. It's very sad, but a good story. Thank you very much!

Okay okay okay I know a lot of us don't like Guy and Jasper as they are but imagine being sandwiched between these two? Let's say in a not so far off AU universe these two are unabashedly being the villains they are. They're trying to convince MC to lend Guy their power. They've tried everything but the Cage™ at this point. It's time to rely on seduction. It works flawlessly. Little do they know MC was getting off on the chase and finally decides to indulge. It was supposed to be just Guy/Jasper but MC is having none of it. They're either both about to lay the pipe down hard or they can hit the bricks. Eh, fuck it. Why not? It's something new for them for sure. And it'll be a great way to sample their powers at its height. The hottest threesome ensues. Trapped between two teasing doms? Trying to give Jasper "CPR" from below while Guy's spanking you from behind? MC would have to be a sub rope bunny like no other to keep up with these two

the way I read every single word of this like my jaw wasn't on the floor from simply seeing the names Guy and Jasper💀💀

bros flabbergasted.

I had to sensor Jasper for the sake of my sanity /hj

anon you freaky bitch.

Why'd you go hard tho like damn😳💀

For anyone else I'd be moaning arching my back scratching my pillows bouncing off the walls screaming foaming at the mouth orgasming shaking crying taking off my clothes writhing in pleasure

However--

If I was sandwiched between Guy and J*sper I'd literally start crying

This is not a J*sper safe zone.

Guy I can take, obviously he's not my favorite but I'd still have sex with him tf

I feel like I'm being disrespectful-

Anon: *writes this long ass ask abt being absolutely fucked in the best threesome of their life by Guy and J*sper*

Me: actually no thank you

However I will not let this ask stay in my inbox, so I have to answer it, this is something I'd reply to, characters be damned it's so like... like yea, imma add my two cents😌😌

Imagine this(except its against my will /j):

I had this thought really early on in my indulgence in court of darkness, back when I was just getting to know the characters and had only really read Lynts route. Ya know back when my view on Guy was on based on the princes path(which is objectively worse) and when my view on J*sper was neutral. I know crazy right anyway-

Cucking + Voyeurism

Guy wouldn't trust a soul with his beloved paramour other than his dear valet. This being put into practice. Finding pleasure in your absolutely fucked out expression as you were being split open on another mans cock. Making eye contact with Guy as he fisted his cock at the sight you gripped the sheets below you as your back was pressed into an even deeper arch. Sharing really is caring. J*sper fucking into you from behind preened under his masters gaze, a sense of pride bubbling up in his chest as you writhed beneath him proof of his more than adequate performance. "Tell him how much you like it." "Don't go on getting cocky, she's still mine." "Look at him while you do it." "Cum. Let me see it." "A beautiful thing you are when you're getting fucked." After being thoroughly spent, you feel the slight rustling of sheets. Opening your eyes to see you paramour above you. "Guy? What are you..?" "Did you think I'd be fully satisfied by simply watching you?" And before you could even process his words, he plunged into you, a mix of yours and J*spers messy cum spilling out of you. Dismissing his valet with a nod Guy fucked into your used cunt mixing up your insides already filled to the brim with cum ready to stuff you with more.

Oh I hated writing that so much😊

Did you like it tho🥺❤ /gen (praise me I deserve it, this was emotionally distressing /hj)

when time runs out | ii

⋆ summary:  A young girl has fallen deeply ill with an unknown disease in her, so with all her free time spent in an empty hospital room, she spends it online playing video games. That's until she meets her cousins friends, one spiking her interest with his extremely vulgare language.

pairing: bakugou katsuki x reader

word count: 2.1k

warnings: small mentions of suicide (I’ll put a star ‘⋆’ on top and below the paragraph so you can skip over it if your uncomfortable, you won’t miss anything too important so dont worry!)

"Bro, honestly I still can't believe that you of all people made it into the elite, number one hero school in the country."

"Waahh, I'm telling you! I'm the real deal Y/N!"

"So, how's your summer been? School's gonna be starting soon, are you excited?" Denki could only smile and sigh as his character was finally killed off.

Said girl chuckled as she heard Denki's voice rise through her headphones as they continued killing zombies in front of them. She grimaced as a zombie attacked her from behind her character. Geez, I never get a break in this game.

"Well, to be honest, nothing big really happened besides me getting my acceptance letter from U.A. Just me training and hanging with the fam." He laid back in the comfort of his bed, headphones still on in order to hear his cousin.

"Aah, already training, hero boy? That's why you haven't been visiting me lately." Y/N pouted and crossed her arms as her TV screen turned black, returning her to the main page of the game.

"Man, we suck at this game!" Denki laughed out loud as he saw how long they lasted in the last round. Y/N smiled and let out a small giggle of her own as she placed down her controller.

"Yeah, how long have we had this game for? It still feels like it's our first time playing this." Denki cracked a smile, even though Y/N couldn't see him.

"Hey, sorry for not being able to come to the hospital. Getting ready for U.A. is no joke, haha." Denki rubbed the nape of his neck, eyebrows scrunching up with regret. 

"Nah nah, it's fine! I understand that you have things to do. You have big plans for the future." Y/N brushed a strand of her hair away from her face, looking down at the needles that were plunged into her arms. Her eyes were clouded with an emotion she often felt when talking with Denki. She always felt guilty whenever the feeling came around.

"Must be nice to be able to achieve your dreams." Jealousy. She hated the feeling she got every now and then, but you couldn't really blame her. She lost everything in only a couple of months. Silence passed between the two teenagers, Y/N finally realizing what she said.

"Uh s-sorry about that! I didn't mean to say that alou-" Y/N was cut off by Denki's soft voice.

"Y/N, it's... okay to feel like that. I don't understand what you have been going through, but I know that you shouldn't bring yourself down for something you can't control. You're such an amazing person and to be honest. . ." Denki paused as Y/N's eyes began to glaze over.

"I'm doing this for me and you. You always encouraged me to take any opportunity by, as you like to say, the neck. I-I wanna make you proud, y'know? I wanna make it feel like you're a part of this crazy world, even if you're not really here, walking with me through it all."

Y/N’s lips wobbled as she let out a watery laugh. She hunched over, small tears falling down her face. To someone else, this would've boosted their ego, but to Y/N, those words meant the world to her. No one had ever said that to her before. She felt like she had a purpose in this wretched life of hers. She sniffles were heard by Denki

"H-hey! It's okay, p-please don't cry!" Y/N heard shuffling coming from Denki as he reassured her to not cry.

"I mean it. I only wish you could be there though, it would be so much cooler!" Denki smiled, trying to lighten up the mood. Y/N's sniffles slowly quieted down as she let out a soft laugh that made his heart swell with joy. At least he can make her laugh.

"I'm s-sorry, but no one has ever told me t-that." Small hiccups came from the girl as she calmed down, taking deep breaths to slow her heart rate. Won't want doctors to come rushing in just to see her crying over something so small.

⋆

"I-I'm just really happy you said that." Denki's heart clenched at those words, his chin trembling every now and then. He knew that Y/N wasn't happy with where she was. She had even admitted that she had urges to rip out the needles and slowly lose her life from there. Denki spent the rest of that night talking to her after. To say he was concerned was an understatement. He was terrified when she told him.

⋆

"I think us being able to play games together is already enough!" They both laughed and talked for a couple of minutes before deciding to to hang up. 

"Y/N, I mean it when I say I want you to be happy, okay? I hope you feel better tomorrow. Buh-bye!" Y/N said her goodbye to Denki, hanging up and closing the laptop that sat on a movable table. 

Her smile slowly left her face, leaving her staring blankly at the pure white wall and mirror in front of her. When visitors were gone, her window would turn to a mirror so no one would disturb her. Y/N took a good look at herself and only sighed. Despite being as healthy as she could get, she looked a bit on the thin side, this complimenting her skin. Running a hand through her hair, she untangled the little knots that had formed there.

"Geez, what happened to you girl? You look like a zombie." Y/N looked at the zombie game and cringed.

"Literally."  Just then the door to her room opened and shut quickly, the air filter turning on when a female doctor entered. Y/N watched her carefully as she checked the IV that connected to her arm. The protective suit never made Y/N feel better about her condition.

"Are you alright, Ms. L/N?" The light, stern voice rang through her ears as she looked at the woman in front of her. Y/N gave the doctor a grin.

"Never been better."

It had been an hour since the doctors had turned the lights off, but Y/N didn't feel the slightest bit of exhaustion. She had been sitting in the pitch black room for the time being and was really debating on turning on the TV.

"Ahh, fudge it." Instinctively reaching out for the remote, she turned on the TV and winced as the bright light hit her.

Looking back to the screen, she chose the option of going online and waited for other players to join. While waiting, a new character popped up next to her and she could only smirk at their username. Tapping on her mic, she decided to make conversation with them to see if they also had a mic.

"Now, what to play. What to play..." Y/N had settled for playing OverWatch since she didn't feel like playing any story type games. No cliffhangers tonight, Y/N thought. As the game loaded, she laid back and began thinking about cheesecake. When was the last I ate strawberry cheesecake? Great, now I want some. Thinking about eating cheesecake made her excited about the next day.

"Well hello, dear ol' '​​​​​King Explosion Murder_1.' Nice name you got there." Y/N chuckled as she said the name out loud, seeing another player enter.

"Hello 'Tape Dispenser?' What's with the wack name?" The girl’s eyes crinkled as she smiled at their name, hearing the user chuckle through her headphones. '​​​​​​King Explosion Murder' still had yet to reply, but that didn't bother her. They're either using the bathroom or don't have a mic. 

"The name was inspired by my quirk. But what's up with '_DeathGirl_', huh? You good?"  Y/N could only laugh at what he said. She should really send him a friend request.

"I’m honestly great, a little tired, but great! I just gotta make up a name, y'know? But your quirk has to do with tape? I don't know if that's wicked or useless." The boy laughed while Y/N laughed as well, losing her grip on her controller. That was until a gruff voice interrupted their laughing session.

"Shut the fuck up, your annoying ass voices are giving me a damn headache." Finally, after being silent, 'King Explosion Murder_1' spoke up.

"Aah, so you do talk. I don't know why you didn't say anything sooner Mr. Explosion Murder." The other player could only sneer at what she said, hitting his desk with his fist. Another player had joined, Y/N only noticing.

"Ah, hello 'Sleep Deprived Controller!'" Said player made their character wave, making Y/N chuckle. While they had their interaction, 'King Explosion Murder' was shouting at her, now realizing that she wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.

"Hey! Listen to me when I'm fucking talking to you, emo bitch!" Y/N’s eyes widened, soon rolling her eyes, watching the game load as they were placed into a match. What's his damn problem?

"Hey man, no need to go calling people names now." 'Tape Dispenser' nervously chuckled as he heard the other player growl. Y/N sported a shocked face as she heard this. What is he, a dog??? 

"Outta this conversation, extra!" Tape dude could only deadpan at what he was just called. Who calls people extras?? I’m not an extra, in fact I think I’m- 'Sleep Deprived Controller' listened with an annoyed expression on their face, wishing they could shut their shouting teammate up. Damn, wish I actually had a mic.

The game began as all the players separated, going their own way to kill their enemies. Everyone was in the zone, getting items and yelping every now and then if they were attacked. The first to go down was 'Tape Dispenser', then 'Sleep Deprived Controller', leaving both Y/N and 'King Explosion Murder' left on their team. Y/N smirked at their winning team, only one player was left on the other team. Just as the game was going to end, the opposing player shot down 'Explosion Murder', killing him.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" His mic cut off, causing the two players with mics in a cackling mess. Y/N calmed down, remembering she was still playing, trying to hunt down the last player. Finally, after many curses by a certain player and cheering from another, she located her enemy. 

"You better fucking win this or I'll kill you." Knowing he didn't mean that last part, she only focused on the first part. You better win this. Those words echoed through her head as she stopped aiming for the player. She hated being told what to do.

"Ah, so you're one of those people." Not knowing what she meant, they only watched with wide eyes at what she did. Y/N jumped down next to the enemy, shooting them twice with her weakest gun, signaling them that she was there. Quickly, the other player shot her character down, killing her. They lost the game.

"THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?! WE COULD'VE FUCKING WON!" Explosion Murder wasn't taking defeat easily like the other two were. Y/N could only give a grunt of disapproval towards the loud player.

"Ha, why did you just give up right there? You could've easily killed him." Tape Dispenser was just as confused as the other two players, slightly disappointed at the loss. Y/N sighed as she rubbed her forehead.

"Sorry not sorry, but this dude really thought he could get away with telling me what to do. I'll make my move when I'm ready, sorry to disappoint you guys." She sighed as she rubbed her neck, ready to hear the disapprovals of her teammate. But what she heard and saw made her smile.

"Nah, it's fine. It can get a tiny bit annoying with Murder yelling in your ear." Tape Dispenser reassured her, with Sleep Deprived's character giving her a thumbs up. Though, the annoyed sigh caught her attention back to him. Her eyebrow twitched. What is it now?

"I'm done with this fucking sappy shit scene. I'm out." Those were Murder's last words before he disconnected, leaving them in an awkward silence before Y/N stifled a giggle.

"I have a feeling that won't be the last time I'm seeing him." Tape Dispenser chuckled while Sleep Deprived's character shook their head, making Y/N softly laugh. After sending friend requests to both people, she bid them both fair well and left.

Y/N turned off her console and tv, putting the controllers on the table near her. She laid down in the comfort of her bed, thinking about her interactions with the people she met. She smiled, closing her eyes and drifting into a dreamless slumber with only one thought in mind. 

King Explosion Murder is such a weird name.

So I had a small idea 👀 (bruh when I was trying to type somnopholia it tried to auto correct it to homophobia and I was just ????) I hope you all like it :)

Monsta X Wearing a Skirt For You

  I don't know how the hell you convinced him to do it but a round of applause to you. He refuses to look in your eyes the second he puts it on. Not to say he hates wearing it, he just gets hella embarrassed when he does. He gets all flustered when you start telling him how pretty he looks and he'll just look down at the floor while he plays with the edge of his skirt 🥺. Continuously compliment him and I don't think he'd be able to say anything. His face would just be beet red cause pretty much all the blood in his body has rushed up to his face, but it's fucking adorable so you'd compliment him every chance you get. He'll only ever wear one when you tell him to but it doesn't make him any less beautiful. The only exception is when you fuck him and leave marks all over his thighs, like bite marks, bruises from where you hit him, scratches from your nails, you name it he loves it. He'll wear a skirt at some point the next day so every time he passes by a mirror he can look at them and remember how good you ruined him, leaving his thighs mostly bare so everyone can see them. Well, so you can see them. The poor baby would die if he ever had to wear one in public. Please don't do that to him, you can keep that beautiful sight just between the two of you. 

Wonho

Bitch was wearing skirts before he met you and was just waiting so he would know you wouldn't freak out and dump him. He just wore a skirt unprompted when you had returned home from work one day and you had a mini heart attack. He got all worried cause you just started coughing after choking on air. Everytime you see him in one after that though, you're still left breathless. Cause goddamn he looks gorgeous. He likes wearing them cause he feels pretty. One time when you were out you bought him a pretty pastel pink skirt and he wouldn't take it off for the rest of the day. Everytime he tries on a skirt he'll do a little spin then look up at you all like "Do I look pretty mommy? 🥺🥺" and y'know what who needs to live anymore? Your heart will die then and there, don't lie to me. Skirts aren't limited to the house either, he likes wearing them out in public. Honestly it makes you a little mad sometimes cause people's eyes will go straight to his thighs, though he doesn't seem to notice. You'll get over your anger as soon as he spins to you, pointing at something excitedly with a little smile on his face so it's all good. Bruh, I got bias wrecked so hard when writing this 😔

Minhyuk

This man practically lives on your lap when he has a skirt on. You're watching a movie and there's an entire couch available? Your lap is obviously the better option. Oh, you're working on something important from your home office that needs to be done immediately? You'll just have to rest your head on his shoulder cause he isn't moving. The main reason he does this is because when you zone out you'll unintentionally start running your fingers up and down his thighs which makes him  h o r n y. Yeah, the second you see that skirt on him you know that nothing's getting done except for him. You'll just be sitting there for movie night and cuddles then next thing you know he's grinding helplessly against your leg cause you kept touching his thigh. "Well don't touch me there unless you wanna fuck my brains out." Another perk of him wearing a skirt is how simple it is for you to just bend him over whenever you want. He likes the thought of you taking him whenever you want cause you just completely own him so he has no say in it (did someone say somnophilia 👀). The little fucker likes to wear lingerie as well, just to give you more of a reason to bend him over and fuck him silly. He won't even try to hide it either, if he thinks you aren't paying enough attention to him he'll just bend over right in front of you and show off what he was wearing underneath. This boy is such a cutie in a skirt but he's a little hard to manage so good luck with that. 

Kihyun

The only thing you'd hear from this man when you put a skirt on him is complaints. He loves to wear skirts, cause he looks so pretty and you never forget to tell him that, not that he'd ever admit it. The little brat likes to put up a fight against anything you do. He won't wear one on his own accord unless he knows you won't be home for a while. The rest of the time you have to tell him to put one on. Now, you would never ask your boyfriend to do something he's uncomfortable with, but you know that look in his eye. You know he loves it, but he just likes talking back to you so somebody's gotta put him in his place. That might mean "forcing" him to wear a skirt and just tying him up and teasing him until he finally tells you how much he loves it and how pretty he looks. The next morning he'll go right back to complaining about it so you shouldn't get your hopes up. You also notice how when you take him out shopping his eyes will start wandering over to the pretty fabrics he pretends to despise so much. Of course he'd take that little "secret" to his grave. Does that stop you from buying them when you go out alone and "forcing" him to try them on? Of course it doesn't.

Hyungwon

You first asked him to wear a skirt for you after their little family skit thing cause he looks too fucking cute as a girl and you found it a little unfair. Boy was hella confused. Honestly thought that you were just looking for a reason to make fun of him a little more. When he finally caved and wore a skirt, he was surprised by the way you looked at him. Which of course led to the bedroom. Wears them all the time after that. Mainly because when you fucked him while he was wearing it you wouldn't stop talking about how pretty he looked and sent his praise kink into overdrive. And of course this man looks amazing in a skirt cause he's got legs for days and you definitely spend your time doing actual work and not just staring and drooling over his legs. If you had never even tried to convince him to wear one when he has legs like that you have failed at life and I don't want you to talk to me. But he has definitely noticed the way you look at his legs all the time and oop- would you look at that now he has a pair of heels. For someone who has supposedly never walked in heels before he does surprisingly well though??

Jooheon

I think Jooheon would like wearing skirts. Not in public or around the rest of the boys (except maybe Changkyun cause they're best bros) but he likes to wear them. I think it'd be fucking adorable if him and Changkyun went shopping for skirts together. Since Jooheon is a little shy when it comes to wearing them, Changkyun gives him more confidence when they're out together cause he just doesn't give a fuck. His legs look so pretty in skirts though so even if he was wearing one just to wear one it won't be long before you have him bent over a table as you pound into him. Or if you have his hands cuffed behind his back while he rides you in a skirt; one of the best views honestly. Whenever he wears a skirt, his ass also looks amazing so you can't help but grab it or slap it everytime he walks by you. He's never complained before but 9 times out of 10 it'll lead to sex. One time he wore skirts for an entire week, which was a terrible mistake. The poor boy could barely walk the next week and even had to sit out for a few practises. Changkyun wouldn't stop laughing at him over the phone so you kept giving him whatever he wanted cause you felt so bad.

Changkyun

Honestly I feel like changkyun would like wearing a skirt for you the most. First of all, the members are always saying he walks around the dorms naked so I feel like he would appreciate the little extra freedom a skirt has as opposed to shorts or pants. Secondly, he would definitely start teasing you as soon as he sees how much you like it. You'd think this boy was the clumsiest man on the planet with how many times he drops things on the floor. Sometimes he'll even spill his drink on the floor just so he has to get on his hands and knees and clean it up. When you confront him on his behavior, however, he'll act like nothing was happening. "What? I wasn't doing anything provocative. Jeez (Y/N), I didn't realize you were such a pervert." He'll also wear thigh highs or garters to show off his legs and make sure you're looking at him. Gets pouty when you don't. "Daddy~ why won't you look at me? Do you think I got all dolled up for nothing?" (I am a firm believer that Changkyun has a daddy kink if you are male or female and you can fight me on that) If you think you can look at him wearing a skirt and not fuck his brains out you are delusional.

you know, I put my rambling in the tags bc I thought it wasn't entirely relevant, but your reply made me actually sit down and think about a few things.

I ramble a lot so putting a cut here.

this is just my personal experience, so I don't know how similar other people are, but I learn very slowly. The only way for me to do things that don't come easily right away is a lot of repetition until it's muscle memory. Unfortunately I am also bored easily by grinding the same thing over and over, so the reason i have 400+ hrs in Elden Ring is because every time i got stuck on a boss I went and did something else (usually exploring every inch of the map). I'm sure I was bad for a pretty long time, but there was no one there but me to criticize, you know? I'll be honest and say that i don't even have an idea of what my skill level with the game *is* compared to the majority of other players, but i don't actually think it's that high, I'm simply very persistent. It took me at least 15-20 tries to beat the final boss at level 175? ish.

I did not grow up with video games in the house, so until i was old enough to buy my own, my only exposure was going to friends' places, which meant everyone I played was better than me simply by virtue of owning the game and having more hours with it. OFC as a kid i didn't understand that. I just thought that I sucked and everyone else was naturally better at games than me. It didn't help that most kids are more interested in winning than teaching, so they're happy to curbstomp someone who is less skilled because it's fun to win. I remember the first time I actually had fun playing Smash Bros was with a friend who actually took the time to sit down and explain the controls and different techniques to me and how and why to counter things, etc. I instantly felt less bad about screwing up because instead of gloating when I lost he'd comment on some things I could try differently for the next round.

I think that's sort of the core of it: winning is fun and losing is not, and if all you do is lose then it's not going to be fun. You can say "get better at it" but if the game structure or your fellow players don't encourage that somehow, it just isn't going to happen for a lot of people.

There is a certain amount of like...scrutiny that comes with PVP where even if you can't speak to the other players you know there's another person watching you, which is a different feeling than screwing up when you're playing by yourself.

Everyone has a threshold where a certain amount of failure makes them give up, and for some people it's smaller because they've been lead to expect failure by the way systems are set up or the other people around them being unwilling to accommodate or teach. video games especially have a long history of people getting verbally abusive at each other in multiplayer chat. Obvs ER doesn't have a chat function, but i think people carry that baggage of "It's multiplayer, people are going to get on my case if i'm bad" over to it. It's embarrassing to do your fumbling and learning in front of other people, and PVP always requires a different skillset than PVE because real people are more unpredictable. At least with pre programmed enemies, they have patterns you can learn.

I do think it's fun to watch other people who are in their element in PVP, and I think if more people had your attitude of "this is fun and I want other people to have fun with me" then it would encourage others to try things out of their comfort zone a bit.

There is also the element of unpredictability...while you can turn off getting invaded while solo, people who are summoning other players for help usually do so for a couple reasons. Either they *like* co-op because they want to play with a friend, or they need help with something, or both. Having this punishing element of "some random guy might come and try to beat the shit out of you because you dared want help" is definitely like. alienating. especially to people unfamiliar with the other Souls games. Like I said, I've personally made my peace w/ it, but I can see where it's actively putting other off.

(also personally...i *hate* getting interrupted when I'm in the middle of something. :p)

I was looking through the other replies and saw some people saying it takes the fun out of invading when people just run away...tbh making the entire mechanic partially unwilling definitely contributes to that, I think? When someone is first playing the game, maybe they ask a friend for help and then they basically get punished for it...they're not really going to have a positive view of invading unless they are a certain type of player to begin with.

I don't know what the solution would be...imho ideally it would be to make it entirely opt-in and structure it in a way that encourages people to participate to make up for the people you would lose. unfortunately i don't really know what would accomplish that. It really is a balance between getting enough engagement and making people not resent the whole thing.

What would you like to change in the game to make invading more fun for you? (in the tags)

📺┊ Watching Kids Shows with the Haikyuu Boys!

► Oikawa Tooru, Tsukishima Kei, Hinata Shouyo, Bokuto Koutaro, Tendou Satori ft. Hinata Natsu (GN! Reader)

𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: I left one or two swear words? Other wise there is none ❤️

『♚ Will's Message』 ▸ Heya!! Here's some headcanons I thought about when me and my sisters were listening to Sofia the First and Barney soundtrack 👁️👄👁️ Hope you guys enjoy! ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

This boi just barged into your house saying he wanted to watch Sofia the First with you—

Well I mean you couldn't complain cuz Sofia the First is amazing 🤩

The both of you were just chilling on the floor cuz the couch is for the weak 😤

Once the intro starts playing the both of you guys just start screaming the lyrics

The both of you sound like hyenas dying from being strangled I swear 👁️👄👁️

Like the your neighbors are lowkey higkey concerned

Whenever a character would start singing y'all would start singing too

But the thing is when one of you forgets the lyrics one of you starts singing gibberish

Then the other one starts to get confused cuz like wtf you singing??

The both of you would also start dancing too

Like he's the prince and you're some exaggerated elegant af royal ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄

He would definitely kiss you hand—

But that's about the only part he's good at cuz the two of you would just step on each others feet and stumble

Oh to be a good dancer 😭

Oikawa's favorite character is probably Amber you can't change my mind

The two of you would argue who's best girl I swear

It's like a war zone when you argue about it you guys will make up eventually

After the marathon the two of you would just eventually fall asleep on the floor after talking about your favorite episode ❤️

You were bored out of your mind so, you went to Tsukki's house to hang

You were feeling nostalgic so...

You forced him to watch Barney with you.

You know how Tsukki likes dinosaurs???

Well he doesn't like this one

Cuz he says Barney's just some 'discount dinosaur'

Probably that one show his parents made him watch as a kid but he didn't wanna cuz he thinks Barney's 'fake' I mean he technically is

I never really thought Barney was a dinosaur as a kid either, I only found out when I was 8

While Tsukki was watching it he looked so... Disgusted

And the fact that you were playing along with the show makes him cringe even harder— 💀💀

Tsukki be like: Why am I with a five year old??

He didn't even know why he let you watch BARNEY FRIGGIN BARNEY at his house when he could have easily said no 🤡🤡

He just wanted the torture to be over

Just when the show was about to end and he could rest easy, the song started to play

And you just started to sing along with it, you even came up to Tsukki to hug him I— 😭✋🏼

🎶 I loVe yOU, YoU LovE mE 🎶 ⊂(・▽・⊂)

He stood up and shoved your face away before you could do it cuz he's had enough of your shit today 🙃

After that you felt bad for him putting up with your idiocracy so you promised to do whatever he wanted

You best bet it was some sort of mental torture equal to the one you put him through—

Natsu said she wanted to watch a show with y'all 🥺🥺🥺

So you did

She picked Winnie the Pooh

I swear it's probably her favorite cartoon—

Bby Natsu wanted to sit next to you while you hugged her 💕

While big bro Shoyou sat in next to you!!

Lmao Hinata would probably get so bored, he doesn't like Winnie the Pooh apparently 😔

But he tries his best for his sister

His favorite episode was the one where Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's 'door' so they had to pull him out

But then when they did pull him out he got stuck in a hole in a tree filled with bees 👁️👄👁️

It made Hinata laugh his ass of

He said it reminds him of Kageyama??

And Natsu was laughing too cuz if her big bro is happy she is too and you just sitting there giggling holding Natsu

Bruh I swear the Hinata siblings are next level wholesome

Natsu would definitely have a crush on Christopher Robin 😤

Like whenever he shows up on screen she would blush and just look at her dream guy 💘

Hinata probably doesn't notice or know cuz he's dense LOL

But you do 👀

Once the marathon is over you told Natsu about what you found out—

LMAO SHE FREAKED OUT AND MADE YOU PROMISE NOT TO TELL

You just smiled at her...

THEN YOU STARTED RUNNING TO HINATA

Natsu was chasing after you telling you not to do it

But then Hinata heard and he was like: w h a t ?

Natsu tried to ignore you for the rest of the day while Hinata went up to you to complain about it 😌

Bo was hyper today you asked him to watch Scooby Doo with you to calm him down ❤️

He is so determined to solve the mystery

You guys bet on who's the culprit

Lmao Bokuto would defend his choice so much

Like he would give a lot of random reasons as to why he chose them 👁️👄👁️

And you would just be like no

Then he would just argue even more

When you guess right he just pouts at you and looks away

If he's right he does a little victory HEY HEY HEY like he's all happy and jumpy

The loser has to put hot sauce onto whatever they were eating, they eat the food at the end of the marathon

You were the one who picked the consequences for the bet—

While y'all were watching the both of you were just screaming like wtf

The screams aren't even cuz your scared it's just cuz whenever there's a new clue both of your big brains theorize who's the culprit

And then the two of you just shout what you guys thinks gonna happen and there would be some sort of debate 🙃

Bo's favorite character is Shaggy 🥰 I dunno why I just get the feeling

In the end the two of you had to eat the food you guys filled with hot sauce

It looks red af btw

Bokuto just straight up ate it all like it was so fast

And you were looking at him like ಠ_ಠ

You ate yours and your mouth was on fire—

You had to drink gallons of water cuz there wasn't any milk 😔

Someone reserve the bathroom because one of you two would probably blow any minute now—

Bo rushed in first

But then you had to go in too so you did the little pee pee dance outside while you were waiting

Overall 100/10 would do again 😌

You and Tendou planned to hang and watch a show

It was your turn to pick a so you chose Teletubbies—

Tendou went 😊 to ☹️

Like he was just so happy when you came and the you tell him your watching TELETUBBIES with HIM

He just wanted you to watch it alone at this point

But y'all promise to hang so he let you watch it 😤😤

The whole time you two were watching he was just complaining about how obvious their questions were

He's just there arguing at a tv know it won't respond to him at all

You just stare at him like 👁️👄👁️

He was so annoyed lmao

Then you would tell him it's a kids show

But then he's like: then why are we watching this?

It's for nostalgia purposes I swear

It's not like you purposely picked it to mess with him or anything

The mans kept pestering you to watch something else cuz he just can't take this torture 😭

He really doesn't like the Sun

He says it looks weird, why would you put an actual baby's face as the sun??

It laughs and everything

At one point he just had enough and grabbed two pillows and shoved it in between his head

He didn't wanna hear any of it anymore HAHAHAHHAHA

He even went as far as to constantly poke your face and tell you to 'make it stop'

In the end you two didn't finish it cuz he was complaining a lot and you two ended up watching Don't Breathe 😔

I lowkey was scared of Teletubbies as a kid
