summary :: All Might NSFW alphabet
warning :: nsfw
note :: All Might my beloved, reqs open
A = Aftercare
Toshinori becomes The Thinker after sex. He’ll stay with you until you fall asleep, but once you’re out he’ll leave. Usually, he will go on a run or sit outside for a few hours with himself. Once he’s done, he’ll come back and slip into bed with your or put together a breakfast.
B = Body part
He never really considers any of his own body parts, especially when he’s in his skinny form. If he had to pick, it would be his hands. For you, Toshi likes your face the most.
C = Cum
He always pulls out, it’s a habit. He’ll finish either on your tummy or ass.
D = Dirty secret
He’s thought about going from his skinny form to muscle whilst inside you.
E = Experience
He’s rusty but knows what’s going on. It takes a while for him to truely ease into it and not overthink his actions.
F = Favorite position
Missionary, a classic for a reason. When things get pretty heated, he’s known to enjoy taking you against a wall especially in his muscle form.
G = Goofy
Usually pretty serious and sensual. Sex with him is almost always love making and Toshi takes it seriously. There’s been moments where you’ve both had a laugh but it’s rare.
H = Hair
The carpets do match the drapes, he’s blonde through and through.
I = Intimacy
He’s quite intense about sex; deep eye contact, squeezing your hand, holding you close. It’s always special and drawn out.
J = Jack off
Since the two of you started having sex it was like a switch in Toshi’s mind was turned on. He’s horny. Often. He’s had to excuse himself from teaching to rub one out just because he can’t stop thinking of you.
K = Kink
Size difference. Even if he doesn’t know it Toshi loves being taller and generally bigger than you. He especially loves to grab your waist in his muscle form, it’s a massive thing for him. I also suspect he might enjoy the thrill of public spaces, he’d never admit it or initiate but it’s there.
L = Location
The bedroom. He’s a private man.
M = Motivation
He’s a little dense when it comes to hints, so the best way Toshi gets turned on is when you openly flirt with him and whisper dirty things in his ear.
N = No
Never ever would he hurt you. He won’t compromise on it either.
O = Oral
Enjoys giving for sure. He’s pretty good with his mouth. The way he looks at you through his dark eyes as he eats you out is something else. Also, the way he acts when getting head is insane. His hands snake through your hair and he curls up, grunting and whispering profanities.
P = Pace
Slow and sensual. Unless it’s a special occasion of course! Then he’ll poof into his muscle form and fuck you like a sex symbol.
Q = Quickie
Not the usual, but it’s happened before. Quickies are whenever he’s in a rush to do something or when you’re in a semi public setting.
R = Risk
Yes, he can be a risk taker but it makes the sex anxious. He’s got a lot of eyes on him at all time so he needs to be wary.
S = Stamina
Oh honey, he’s not done until you’re done. You think all that stamina training from his early days wouldn’t translate into sex? You’re in for a surprise.
T = Toys
He’s not a massive fan.
U = Unfair
Toshinori is not one to tease you during sex, really it’s the opposite. He’s a giver and always follows through with pleasure.
V = Volume
Lots of grunting and heavy breathing. He’s not particularly loud, but just enough to get you going.
W = Wild card
Once you gave him under the table head whilst at U.A. and it was the best blowjob ever. He thinks about it often and can’t help but get hard.
X = X-ray
Both forms he’s packing a nice 9 inches. However the girth changes slightly between forms.
Y = Yearning
If he wasn’t so busy, he’d want to sleep with you every day but alas there aren’t enough hours in the day.
Z = Zzz
He’s not good at sleeping but after a particularly tiring session, he’ll pass out.

R&J Clown Takes Round ♾—Part 11
In which someone wrote a song with the lyrics “Romeo was full of shit / Juliet, she fell for it / But I’m not an idiot” or something along those lines and the Instagram people lapped it up, the sweetest clown bait. Perhaps too clownish, though, for we actually do see some pushback. Wonder of wonders! Also featuring some stray Gnomeo and Juliet clownery here and there. Allons-y.
“Romeo /= Cool”
Gnomeo and Juliet does suck ass, but again, dude. Dude. Mercutio is canonically his friend. He literally chose Romeo and Benvolio as people to hang out with. As in, people he personally liked. If you don’t think Romeo is cool, then you have no business stanning Mercutio, who obviously does think Romeo is cool, at least before he turned all ~pussified. Or else he wouldn’t be amused/miffed/lowkey worried at Romeo’s mooning over Rosaline. Or, er, be the one to consistently ask where he was.
As for badass and cool…these are very loaded terms—badass can mean anything from macho stupid American pow-pow bullshit to honest heroic acts—but at the very least Romeo canonically gets shit done. He decides to search for Juliet and does. He climbs the garden wall and, after some consideration, shows himself. He talks to the Friar about him marrying the two like he said he would. He refuses to fight Tybalt. When Tybalt kills Mercutio, he decides to fight Tybalt and kills him. And when dumbass Paris comes along and threatens to turn him in to the authorities, Romeo kills him off and honors his last dying request to be buried next to Juliet.
No and also no.
(Fun fact: I actually literally wrote a whole short story on how this very premise Would Not Happen, even in an everyone-lives AU. I’ve submitted it to The New Yorker and other magazines because I giveth no fucks. All my fucks, alas, are flown away, look at them go.)
More Romeo Hate Dumb (Reprise, Ancora Più Brutto)
No pulse nor breath no pulse nor breath no pulse nor breath—
Shakespeare’s tragic protagonists do not usually have just one “tragic flaw.” But even if Romeo’s “tragic flaw” is his impatience, then it certainly Juliet’s as well.
And considering that Tybalt did not know about R&J, Romeo does not “expect to end the family feud after one discussion.” He just doesn’t give a reason why he won’t fight him.
Color in the cheeks = life even if 1) Servant tells you wife is dead in Capulet’s crypt and 2) You see her interred in Capulet’s crypt and 3) She literally has no pulse or breath and is cold to the touch. Clown logic at its finest.
The R&J Defense Squad Is Here!
Romeo was a discord mod, Juliet was his kitty
When the clownery is literally so bad random ass commentators handed Clown OP their ass just by speaking facts.
“Their story was fine but their romance was horrible—” Without the romance, there would be no story. It’s the axis around which almost everything happens. Otherwise it’d just be two families who hate each other for no good reason doing the Hate(tm) for three hours. Oh, and they have nice, obedient, frankly basic-ass children, I guess. It’s like those people who try to argue that having any conflict in stories is white supremacy or something.
The unofficial motto of this blog by this point.
#romeo and juliet#rj clown takes#r&j clown takes#rj clownery#the op that said the song was written by a bitter jealous person slayed#the clownery here was so obvious even regular people were like ??????#romeo hate dumb

WELL WASN'T THAT FUCKING LOVELY? MAYBE THE BRI ISH AINT SO BAD AFTER ALL... Time for some final thoughts! 😁💞
AAAAUAHGNGNMGBGMGNGNGH BROOOTHER WHEN I TELL YOU I LOVED THIS MOVIE... IT WAS SO FUCKING LOVELY.
I did not only love every single fucking character present here, but the designs and the music and the animation god, AND HELL THE HUMOR TOO!! Fucking caught me off guard more than once ngl, but it was great 💀💀
And of course, the thing i loved THE most is having a found family not be separated... :']]
I think this movie does a great job portraying abuse and trauma and PTSD in a very child friendly manner, the lessons it puts there are quite lovely tbh. I wish we could've seen more characters get developed tho!! The two who got the most relevancy and depth were grasshopper and centipide which tbh is ok bc i love them but a little lesson from all of the characters would've been nice too... 🥺
There's, however, a big elephant in the room that i gotta acknowledge, and that is the aunts. As y'all might have realized, my carnal desire for them surpasses my logical brain and makes me overlook the abuse they put James thru which quite honestly parallels my own real one.
I'm speaking w a British accent in my mind alright fucking cringe anyway, aside from the most obvious reason, that being my rampant lust and homosexual tendencies, i wish they hadn't tried to make the characters ugly = evil.
Like idk i think they were kinda bland! I couldn't take their villainous portrayal seriously when most of the time it was like "haha isn't it devious how ugly these old women are??" Like no i need them to ruin me.
I think I'm just a bit disoriented i think blood might not be coming to my head, y'all tell me if I'm making any sense...
Anyway, overall, is this movie good? OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE if not for a bit of lost potential it would have been absolutely perfect!! And yesss, of course i recommend it!! It's such a fun time w such a rewarding end :'33 truly wonderful 🦗

I have literally never made my own post on here before and only like 3 entire people might see this, but I can't quit thinking about how much i dislike the idea of a black hermione granger. I first thought about this while having a conversation with my sister a while ago, but I just saw a fancast of a black girl as hermione on insta, and I have to spit this out somewhere.
The most obvious problem here is that if you want to have a main character be black.....maybe actually say that she's black? While writing the book? Not after publication? And definitely not after you said a white girl was the perfect actress and just what you imagined? You don't have to be like, "and this black girl came and knocked on our door" in the book, but you could mention her blackness other ways. Show her culture, but not as something weird and different. Describe the way shawdows cast from the candles in the great hall dance across her dark skin if you want. Just fucking describe it. And like not just once? Don't be like oh yeah she's black that's all because that's not all. Being black is about more than just having dark skin.
And also, why would jkr wax poetic about how pale other characters are and the way their skin looked if she didn't feel the need to describe hermione's dark skin at all? You can't just say "well I never said she was white... >;p". Don't make a main fucking character's appearance and culture ambiguous. Imagine giving someone a more genderneutral name like Alex and just never using pronouns. That's kinda strange right? Like are we supposed to say she/her, he/him, they/them? You wouldn't make it so we wouldn't know what to call a character accurately, so why make it where we can't imagine and understand a character accurately? If you're going to identify a character, fucking fully identify them. Let us actually know who they are. Bc again, being black is not that same as being white so that ambiguity is shit. You can't tell me hermione's personality would be the exact same if she were white or if she were black. There are differing cultures and experiences, and you have to include those in the character.
And when you basically surround this character with white characters and don't specifically mention that she's black, you can't expect us not to assume she's white as well. It's especially bad though, when jkr makes it disgustingly obvious when other characters aren't white. Fucking Cho Chang. Kingsley fucking Shacklebolt. I think that's all I need to say on that point.
Basically, if you want a character to be a certain ethnicity, just fucking say it (without going overboard and playing into gross stereotypes!!). It's not that hard. She described a few other characters' non-whiteness. Why couldn't she describe this in one of the main characters then?
Another issue with hermione being black is that there are few other black girls being actively described in this series. While it's fine to have very few black girls in a fictional school when it's a predominately white area in real life, it's not fine to shit all over the most described black girl for having bad hair and teeth. If you mainly only talk about one black girl and you give her bad hair and bad teeth and then say she's not pretty.....this is a problem to me. It feels like jkr thinks black girls in general have bad hair and teeth. Like their natural hair and teeth make them ugly. It feels like she's associating blackness with ugliness. Which, fuck that.
I know a lot of black girls are proud of their hair and their teeth, as they should be. But I also know that a lot of black girls don't like their hair or teeth because what's shown as conventionally pretty for hair is often straight hair, and for teeth it's perfectly closed, straight front teeth since these things are attributed to being closer to a standard of whiteness, which is what is portrayed by the media in the most positive light (which is also shitty and a different conversation).
My little sister is half black, and we spend a lot of time telling her how much we love her curls and how much we love her smile because we don't want her to grow up and think her hair is ugly and damage it to make it "pretty" or if she has a gap in her teeth that she has to close it. So to say that a very popular female character, known for her bad and untamable hair, who purposely fixes her teeth that she hates, is black, does not send a good message to young black girls. It's something I would steer my little sister far away from.
I also don't like the idea of hermione being black and the only one who cares about the house elves' enslavement. I would understand maybe her being black and the first person noticing the wrongness (even though in this century people in general should see the wrongness) or at least feeling the most motivated to stand against it based on her background (it's all a stretch but I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt here), but shouldn't her friends realize how she might feel being black and surrounded by literal fucking slaves? Why wouldn't her friends join S.P.E.W.? Shouldn't ron specifically, who loves her, try to be more supportive and understanding instead of rude and condescending? Shouldn't harry, who was normally the one standing up for hermione, who made friends with a house elf and freed him after being mortified by his treatment, care a little more? I feel like the house elves' situation was mostly for laughs and barely for plot and almost unrelated to character development (besides the fact that the whole house elf plot was disgusting itself. Saying that slaves enjoy their work and were disrespected by someone trying to free them?? Wtf???? But that's a whole other can of worms more unrelated to having a black hermione). If hermione were black, this could've been made a huge moment where a big movement was started and led by a black girl (as we've seen and as is so often ignored in history! Black women are powerful. Give them their power in literature too!!). Instead of a joke of one whose meetings were never attended except by people who wanted hermione to quit annoying them. Instead of never following through with the house elves and leaving them in the dust when the plot got too busy. Instead of saying hermione is black so she's the only one who can really care about slavery.
Don't get me wrong, I would love a black hermione if the setup were different. If she wasn't told that some of her physical characteristics that balck girls can often be insecure about are ugly, if she were actively described as black and her blackness was incorporated into the character, if she wasn't the only character to truly care about an enslaved species, then a black hermione would be badass. A black girl as one of the main characters, who is so smart, who the chosen one would fail without, is powerful. It's saying black girls are smart and clever and important. It would've been so fucking cool if hermione were black if it was done in the right way. A powerful black girl, one of the brightest of her generation, who stands up for others. She would get all my love.
But I can't get behind her if she's ignored or shit on for things that would seemingly stem from her blackness. I, personally, think that it's better leaving her as white, since i think this is what jkr truly intended and worming around those intentions can lead to some nasty implications, and getting behind other black girls who got (or will get for the yet-unwritten ones!) the attention from their writers that they deserve.
I'm so open to having a conversation about this, especially if this is not how the black community perceives having a black hermione. Like if you're black and you think i twisted things and completely fucked this up, I'm begging you to shit all over me for it. I'm not trying to press my white bitch perspective (when I'm much less knowledgeable) on a community with lived experience. This is just how I felt jkr came across as completely insensitve and shitty with this comment. Or ways I thought having a black hermione was more bad than good if that statement was true, by whatever definition we want to give that word here. But if I'm wrong, I want to learn from this. I don't want to be speaking for black girls here, i want to be standing behind them in support. I just can't make myself spin this situation in a more positive light, not after everything jkr's said about her "gay" characters and about real trans people, without a little assistance (if y'all think I'm wrong and that assistance is necessary, anyway). I just don't have that faith in her. But if black girls truly think that having a black hermione does more good than bad, I'll be behind you and I'll support you.
Love for anyone reading this except for prejudiced bitches, homophobes, terfs, misogynists, and other shitty people of the like! <3 <3 <3
#i know im late#but i needed to get it out#it wouldn’t leave me alone#im sorry i cant get behind black hermione#there was so much potential#but alas j*r is ass#im sorry if i said this poorly#but i hope you understand what i mean#plz give me recs w strong black female leads#and remember to shit on me if im misunderstanding what's best here

love your crusade answers! do you have any book or article recs for those of us interested in the muslim perspective/general medieval middle eastern history? (also, given your astounding history-based answers: are there any periods or facets of history you wish you were asked more about on here?)
Absolutely!
First off, I answered this ask the other week, which had a long list of book/article recs for medieval Muslims in Europe/Latin Christendom, Christian perspectives on them, and the cultural context and conflict embedded in those exchanges (as well as a second list with recs for work on historical queer Muslims). In the list below, I’ve tried to focus on the medieval Middle East and Islamic world outside the crusades, including the Islamic golden age, although there are a few books that cover the Muslim sources/views on the crusades. I’ve noted before that I don’t usually recommend books on the crusades that I haven’t read myself (especially popular histories), so all the volumes dealing with the crusades are either ones that I have read, they’re written by scholars whose other work I’m familiar with, or they’re recommended by people that I have met or otherwise trust. Most of these are academic in nature, and a few of the articles will require institutional logins for full text (alas). Some of them are also written for a more general audience, but yes, mostly academic.
So:
Jack Tannous, The Making of the Medieval Middle East: Religion, Society, and Simple Believers (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2018)
Carole Hillenbrand, ed., The Crusades: Muslim Perspectives (London: Routledge, 2000)
Niall Christie, Muslims and Crusaders: Christianity’s Wars in the Middle East, 1095-1382, From the Islamic Sources (London: Routledge, 2020)
Nicholas Morton, The Field of Blood: The Battle for Aleppo and the Remaking of the Medieval Middle East (New York: Basic Books, 2018)
Piers D. Mitchell and Andrew Millard, ‘Migration to the Medieval Middle East with the Crusades’, American Journal of Physical Anthropology 140 (2009), 518-25.
Forzia Bora, Writing History in the Medieval Islamic World: The Value of Chronicles as Archives (London: I.B. Tauris, 2018)
Howard R. Turner, Science in Medieval Islam: An Illustrated Introduction (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2010)
Amira K. Bennison, The Great Caliphs: The Golden Age of the Abbasid Empire (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2014)
Ahmed Renim, Habib Tiliouine, and Richard J. Estes, ‘The Islamic Golden Age: A Story of the Triumph of Islamic Civilization’ in The State of Social Progress of Islamic Societies (Springer, 2016), pp. 25-52. (This last one also has a fairly long bibliography with extra recs, which you can access in the free part of the article, hooray!)
As far as the history questions I get: I feel as if the most popular categories are about what you would expect -- i.e. women, queer people, social and cultural conditions, “Bad Old Medieval Times” stereotypes, Game of Thrones History TM, and now questions related to The Old Guard/Joe and Nicky/the medieval Mediterranean, the crusades, Muslim-Christian relations, vel sim. All of which I’m happy to answer, since they’re often things that coincide with my real-life research interests, give me a chance to expand my own bibliographic lists and reading resources, and are often what draw people to the medieval world in the first place. Since I have obviously had many, many rants on the use and misuse of the “medieval” in modern culture, whether in media or politics or as a rhetorical category or whatever, I am in full support of anything that stimulates people to think critically about this and interrogate those distorted depictions (because, as I’m sure everybody has noticed, they drive me UP THE WALL). Basically, if you’re going to social media to learn history, which can be highly questionable but is nonetheless how a lot of it (often wildly wrong) gets absorbed and transmitted, I’d prefer that people come to me, an actual historian with a PhD in the subject, rather than just whatever crazy-ass Tumblr History TM take is making the rounds now (and many of which I have had to debunk in the past.)
This is useful for me because I very much enjoy educating people about history, as you might expect for an academic who has (dubiously) decided to attempt to do this for a living. While I’m still in the seemingly endless lacuna between teaching jobs, it helps me to feel like I’m making a positive contribution and being helpful somehow. I like to think that my answers are, for the most part, comprehensive and useful, and provide a starting point to enable someone to do further research on their own, which is at the core of what we essentially want to teach. Because I have had so many people telling me that they either learned a ton of history from DVLA, or were inspired to go do their own research as a result, I think that was clearly an effective teaching tool (hey, it takes all kinds, and fic is obviously a much more painless way to absorb information rather than a complicated and technical academic text). I do still want to scrape together enough spoons to compile an actual study guide/historical appendix/reference list for it, since I know that is something that people have expressed interest in, so we’ll see if that happens eventually. But yes, I WANT you all to go out and learn research skills and apply that to your reading and find it interesting and to be able to process complex information in a sophisticated way! It’s a helpful skill for all of life, not just history, and is especially useful in our current moment.
....anyway, soapboxing aside, I’m usually happy to answer whatever I get asked, provided that I know at least a little about it and/or am able to dig up resources and look like I know. I obviously have my areas of interests and specialties, and people who follow my blog often have at least a tangential interest in those things too. I will likewise know more about certain subject areas than others, since no historian can possibly know everything, but I will do my best.

yunho + nsfw a-z
can i preface this by saying i am soft for yunho only and i have never imagined him doing anything nsfw so sorry if this turns into soft hours for yunho. i love him with all my heart and have tried to make this as nsfw as i can. alas, it was hard :(
A: Aftercare
yunho, best boy of the millenium, does everything to make you happy and keep you comfortable. he will ask you if you need anything, forget about anything he wants and needs, and will just do whatever you say you want him to do. whether it’s sitting beside him for a while, or if you want to eat something (and he’ll have you sat on the kitchen side as he makes something you want), or if you just want to lay there because he really took it out of you, he’s on it. yunho accidentally became the aftercare king of the millenium too
B: Body part
this was the last part i did because i can’t pick out just one thing he would like about you…. he really does like everything. but if he really had to pick, it would be your lips. he likes how you kiss him, he likes how soft your lips are. he likes looking at your lips. as for him, he probably doesn’t think one part of him is all that good but since everyone hypes him for it, he likes his hands - especially the way that look wrapped around you (let’s not think about his hands around your neck hm?)
C: Cum
he doesn’t cum that much, to be honest, which is a good thing because then things don’t get messy and he likes it that way. since he doesn’t make too much mess he will prefer marking you with his cum. maybe on your face or your chest, or even your stomach, depending on what the position was or what he was doing beforehand
D: Dirty Secret
he will often act like he doesn’t get affected by pictures you send him, and he’ll often message you back that you look so beautiful or something that is typically yunho, but he does keep all the pictures you send and he does look back to them when he is feeling a certain kind of way - especially when he misses you. he has a secret folder full of your pictures you’ve sent to him. his favourites are when you’re wearing nothing but his big shirts and a thong
E: Experience
not all that much, enough to know what he’s doing and enough to be curious about it. something says he will feel a bit dirty looking stuff up so just asks questions. will definitely like someone who is experienced, or at least knows a lot of stuff, so that he can learn too
F: Favourite Position
his vanilla ass probably likes something basic, like missionary, but he’s into whatever. like i said, he’s curious about everything and wants to try everything so if he notices there is a specific position that you like, he will stick to it. likewise, if you say you want him in a certain position then he will assume that position for the rest of the time, or until you tell him to do something else. if you’re into trying everything too, he’ll probably end up liking something a bit more elaborate that involves different manoeuvres that he wouldn’t care to explain
G: Goofy
whilst he is very intimate, he can take a joke and isn’t all that serious when you’re doing anything sexual together. he knows that it isn’t all a joke or anything, but if you make a joke he’s not gonna glare at you or get angry. he likes that its not too serious between the two of you. it’s all smiles when you’re with yunho, and it wouldn’t be right if you didn’t crack at least one inside joke
H: Hair
probably doesn’t groom that much, and doesn’t expect you to either, he probably didn’t have that much of an idea what he was supposed to do. if someone told him he should shave, he will, but otherwise he will just kinda shrug it off
I: Intimacy
he is the KING of intimacy and no one can top him when it comes to intimacy. everything he does is intimate. even if he’s got a whip in one hand and a vibrator in the other, he will look to you with nothing but admiration and wonder for how much you’re enjoying it. for him it is the most trust and love someone can put into another person, and for you to let him see you in this position he has massive heart eyes. or this is all wrong and he’s a freak. he’s still an intimate one though
J: Jack Off
doesn’t really do it… not more than anyone else at least. he will jack off when he misses you and he’s in that kinda mood, but it’s not like every night or anything. he can go at least a few days and it’s not the end of the world if he doesn’t do anything. he’s a big bundle of love, not sexual advances
K: Kink
we always imagine the concept of the ultimate switch, but yunho is the ultimate switch. it will all depend on you. he can go either way. you’re into shibari? he’s got the rope delivered that evening. you want him to be the one tied up? well, he’s not sure how it will work, but he will make it work for you. he is naturally more vanilla, but he’s definitely curious about sex and will work with what you’re offering. a switch would be good for him so that he could experience some more of both sides, but if you’re either side then he can definitely work with you!
L: Location
prefers it in a space where he has some room to work, so doesn’t like anywhere cramped (and isn’t the biggest fan of shower sex if it’s a small cubicle type thing). he may be a bit traditional and prefers the bed, since it gives him a whole space of his own and he knows his boundaries etc. plus the bedroom door has a lock. he can stop people from getting into his room, not into the kitchen
M: Motivation
without sounding basic, it really is you. something like, his mind drifting off to something you did or said which sends a shiver down his spine and he’s texting you to find out what you’re doing later. he’s a big fan of when you initiate something, especially when you tease him a little, since he can spend the day in anticipation
N: NO
nothing really stands out as an obvious no for yunho… maybe the extreme stuff, because he doesn’t like the thought of hurting you. like if you want him to spank you, he’s fine, he’ll try it, but if you start to actually hurt he will see that as a big no no. also age play. he seems like he wouldn’t be into that much, at all. as before, he’s curious and likes to try things no matter how weird they seem, but he probably has some limits he’ll find along the way
O: Oral
he’s a pleaser, so he likes to give a lot but wants you to tell him what you want exactly. he likes it when you pull his hair as he eats you out and moan his name a little, so he will always go back for more if you’re treating him like that. in terms of receiving, he’ll never outright ask, but he will always be thankful for it (and he’s on the gentler side when you give him head, so he’ll have his hands it your hair but never pull - unless you do that for him)
P: Pace
on the slower side, because he would be worried to hurt you. if you want him to go faster he will, but he will have a natural setting on somewhere between ‘normal’ and slow. he’s heard you say too many times that he’s too big and has a bit of a guilty conscience if he goes too quickly. given he’s a touch vanilla, he’s not gonna wanna be making you hurt anywhere the next day
Q: Quickie
if you ask him for one, he’s happy to comply, but he will pout a little and ask if you can do something for real later because it won’t be as good as it could be. for yunho, his main goal is to show how much he loves you. there’s nothing overly bdsm in him and he really doesn’t want to rush anything, plus his libido isn’t over the top so he can wait, so he wouldn’t be the one asking
R: Risk
it wouldn’t be a turn on for him or anything. he’s be worried more than anything, he doesn’t want someone to walk in and see you in a compromising position more than anything. he doesn’t particularly care if they see him, but you?? he’d feel so bad. he probably wouldn’t mind doing anything when other people are home, but he’d lock the door and make sure they were doing something that kept them distracted
S: Stamina
It’s a bit obvious that people who have to perform have good stamina, so of course he can go for a while, but that doesn’t mean he wants to. Overstimulation isn’t a big thing for him and he would rather do one round of things being amazing and everything you wanted, compared to different rounds of you cumming in ten minutes. That being said, if you’re an hour in and only just cumming, but you want to continue, he’s game
T: Toy
again, he’s more on the vanilla side. if you want to use them on him, go ahead. if you want to have them used on you, you will have to show him what he does with them or the poor boy will be lost. he will look at you with wide eyes like ‘what is that for’ and listen as you show him. wouldn’t ever suggest using them, would wait for you to bring them up. but he wouldn’t mind using them if you liked them!
U: Unfair
he isn’t the tease - that’s all on you. when he wants to show you some attention he won’t tease you at all, he’ll just take it slow and that’s natural to him. so maybe you’ll ask him to go faster or do something else but he will listen to you and do it straight away. likes to be teased though. thats where his submissive tendencies come from
V: Volume
definitely quiet, sometimes so quiet you’re left wondering whether he fell asleep twenty minutes ago. but no, he didn’t, he’s just naturally a quiet one unless he knows that no one else is going to be around and he will unleash what he has inside him - aka, he will give you a groan or two. don’t be sad, it’s not you, it’s just how he is
W: Wild Card
surprisingly, yunho enjoys phone sex. you didn’t expect him to, but when you suggested it to him he was all for it. he knew exactly what to say and how to push your buttons and it was enough to have you cumming multiple times before he even seemed phased. what’s more surprising is that he starts asking you for phone sex (as in, when he’s not at home, he would rather be with you in person) and will literally practice what he’s going to say to you before it all goes down. it gets him super excited
X: X-Ray
he’s a big man. you’ve seen him. i’ve seen him. we’ve all seen him. there is no way that he is, in any way, tiny. he’s not gonna be anything for the record books but, maybe your own personal record book. expect to be surprised the first time you see him. definitely thicker than average and definitely longer. big. i’m leaving it at that
Y: Yearning
he loves you and everything about you, and for him this is a deep act of intimacy and he will always want to show you how much he loves you… but he knows when it’s right and when it’s wrong, and he won’t be too much to hande. he can control himself, and he can definitely wait a few days if he has to. no pushing you up against walls (again) because he remembers you saying you wanted something a bit rougher and he misses you
Z: ZZZ
likes cuddling after sex, so he will probably fall asleep with his head on your shoulder, smile on his lips, hair a bit messy, and arms around you. he doesn’t have to sleep afterwards, and he wont ever fall asleep straight away, it will be more like a lets chat for twenty minutes then imma peace out kinda thing. unless you want to get up and do something. then he’ll do that

Hey quick question! What are the main six's favorite cakes? If you'd like to you can add the courtiers to my question as well. I'm super curious!
Asra
He likes white sheet cake best, partially because most cakes taste the same to him and partially because he's a slut for creative cakes and likes to use food dye.
Nadia
Hell yeah cute lil minicakes. Headcanon time - there's a certain flavor of cake akin to strawberries made from flowers. The flowers only grow in Prakra, and when she feels homesick it's the only thing she craves
Muriel
Carrot cake!! Also personal headcanon time - Muriel bakes. A lot. He uses the chicken's eggs, and Asra brings the rest of the ingredients when he visits.
Julian
Julian has a godtier sweet tooth and you can pry that from my cold dead hands. He gives no shits about the flavor as long as it's got enough sugar to kill a man. Chocolate is his favorite though :-)
Portia
(Sorry for the bad photo quality) if it's a homemade cake she's gonna w r e c k it. She specifically likes vanilla though
Valerius
Lucio
I feel like Lucio doesn't really enjoy sweets? He's not used to eating them, amd sometimes they give him a headache. So naturally, the cake is all about aesthetic. Big, gaudy, and ridiculous
Valdemar
Does valdemar eat? Julian used to leave sandwiches outside their door when he worked for them, just in case. They always disappeared within the hour.
Valdemar doesn't really... Taste anymore
Alas
Vlastomil
Vlastomil is a weird dude. PB&J cakes are weird ass cakes. Therefore, his favorite
Volta
Vulgora
They're fuckin obsessed with overly rich cake . like the stuff that you can't stand after 2 bites.
She likes cutesy deserts! And is fuckin obsessed with funfetti
Look, he's a hoe for The Aesthetic™. His genuine favorite is that weird boxed yellow cake kids have at bday parties, but he'll never admit it.

You’ve Got to Be Kidding
Pairing: College!Bucky x Reader
Word Count: 3073
Warning: some bad words I think??? and hella cliches Summary: College is always better, always easier when surrounded by friends. And, when it came to Bucky Barnes there weren’t many that were better for the job. He was a magnificent and funny best friend (and so much more). Plus, he makes a killer breakfast - what more could you ask for?
A/N: Hey folks - this is a doozy. So this is a secret Santa (I know) for the amazing lovely, patient and understanding @trashybutnottootrashy who has been the absolute best when it comes to this. And, as well as a shameful secret Santa it is the first fic I am posting after my m a j o r slump and hopefully the first of many with a regular posting schedule where I will be catching up on the rest of my majorly overdue challenges. As always thank you to the beautiful people who put up with my nonsense and read the first thousands of drafts, @quantumarvel, @courtmr, @includeangieinthesequel - y’all are lifesavers. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy this piece and as always feedback is appreciated. Thank you for reading!
---------------------------
“You have got to be kidding,” Bucky said, irritation evident in his words, But not at her. Most definitely more directed towards memories from his childhood. Days filled with screaming, not talking to each other for hours, maybe even days if it got bad enough. Money was used and wasted, often being burned or thrown in the others face. Property meant nothing, you too what you wanted no matter what the cost may be. And, of course, the cheating was unbearable with how often it occurred.
So, “No.” he simply stated, staring his problem down as he set her coffee on the table.
“Come on, it won’t be that bad, I promise.”
“It always ends in fighting, I’m not doing it.”
“Oh, I think you’re being just a tad dramatic, Buck,” she murmured, mischief in her tone as she slowly pulled the box across the table towards her, lifting the lid and setting fee what seems to be the cause of all of his woes; Monopoly. A game that had been around for goodness knows how long, wrecking relationships ever since. Game night was his idea after all. So, she thought he was in no place to complain about her choice. And, of course, she told him that straight away.
“You should have taken responsibility for the games then and let me get the coffees if it really bothers you that much…” She raised a brow, gave her sulky friend the look (you know that look) before taking a sip of the coffee he had placed before her. He gave a sigh, sat down opposite her and she knew then,
She’d won and the game hadn’t even started yet.
And she would only continue winning, move after move, property after property, the board was hers and she was loving every second of it. Bucky? Not as excited about it, funnily enough. But maybe, just maybe he thinks he can make it through as long as she keeps laughing in the way that causes her nose to scrunch up for just a second or the way she’d murmur ‘pay up’ every time (of many) that he landed on her property. It was infuriating, definitely, but these things softened the blow just a little bit. The tiniest bit. The blow was really softened when the luck began to turn his way. He didn’t know how she let this happen but what he did know is that about an hour into their game it was her who was dishing out the heavy rent prices for his two- three- four houses on the board and that number is only on the rise as the continued to play.
“No, no, no, no… no!” She cried, rising from her chair as she moved her piece along the board and clearly didn’t get the results she was hoping for. Bucky, now having the perfect evening simply laughed. But after a scolding from the campus librarian they promised to quieten down.
They definitely did not quieten down. Which greatly explains why they were now walking throughout the campus after the librarian had quite clearly had enough of the noise they emitted and continued to emit throughout their game. Whether it was his laughing or her screeching that did the trick they would never know, but it’s safe to assume that it was most likely all of the above and more.
“I can’t believe you got us kicked out,” She’d say.
“Can you really not believe it? Because you seem to be saying it a lot for somebody who can’t believe such a thing happened.” He spoke with amusement in his tone, because it was just fun, after all, eyebrows quirking along with the cadence of his voice as he jogged just ahead of her in order to turn around and steal a gaze. Not a gaze, more a glance, a glance with no meaning than utter amusement. Obviously. Bucky turns on his heels, walking backwards through the quad as the bickering carried on.
Bucky continued, “Besides, I wouldn’t say it was completely my fault, you were just as bad - if not worse!”
“Nuh-uh!” She called back, face going red from her lack of a truly hard-hitting response. Something he loved, just by the way.
He let out a barking laugh, nearly dropping her game from under his arm in the meantime. “That what you got?” His endless teasing was maybe too much for some but it would never fail to bring a smile to her face. “Nuh-uh..” He repeated, head falling forward, looking to the ground for only a moment before lifting his head with a grin. “Might have to use that some time. Yeah, I think, next time Sam gets on my ass about the mess of the dorm or something. I’ll claim ‘nuh-uh’ and blame it on Stevie.”
Okay, by then she was cackling, the whole scenario playing so clearly in her head that she couldn’t help herself. “Oh, I’m sure he’ll love that.”
“You know what-” As their walk continued and the air turned colder he opted to sling his arm over her shoulder, her responding with an arm around his waist. Purely for the warmth, of course. “-You know what I think? I think he would like it very much, actually. I mean, you know how Sam can’t resist a pretty face.” His tone was almost inquisitive at this point, seeing if she’ll bite for the bait he just threw out. And, bite she did. Not verbally but the look she gave him was harsh enough for him to wish he just kept it reeled in.
“Woah, what’s the harsh face for? You disagree or something?”
She just laughed again, “I didn’t mean it like that!” And with a grumble and the dropping of his arm, she was quick to the rescue. “You know I think you’re very pretty, Buck, I just don’t know if you’re his type is all.”
“Oh?”
“You seem surprised?” As they came to a stop at the front door of her building he began to search his pockets for his student ID, knowing she always forgot hers, meanwhile she stood, brows furrowed as she awaited his response.
“Oh no, it’s not that part I’m surprised about…” He produced the card as if it were a true ‘ah-ha!’ moment before running it over the sensor and pushing the door open for the both of them, allowing Y/N to go ahead of him. There was something unsettling her about the small smile that was threatening to break across his face… but he was holding back and she had not a single clue why.
“Well… do enlighten me.”
“So I’m your type then?”
“That is not what I said,”
“What you implied though.” She could hear the grin that was on his lips as she walked ahead of him, she tried her hardest to ignore that and the blush that rose to her cheeks upon hearing it but when they arrived at her door she had to face her fears: Bucky Barnes.
“I didn’t imply anything, all I said is that you’re a good looking guy but you’re not Sam Wilson’s type. This doesn’t mean that you’re my type and with that…” She turned to her door, unlocking it and pushing it open, ready for a quick escape. To feign nonchalance she looked back to him giving a nod and mumbling a “...goodnight, Barnes.” But alas, just when it seemed like a place to freely freak was in her grasp,
“Just out of curiosity-” Here we go, “Am I your type?”
“Bucky-”
“Just a ‘yes’ or ‘no’, promise that my feelings won’t be hurt.”
“You could be.”
“What?” He seemed surprised that she actually answered his question at all, let alone given that answer. “Sorry, was that a yes?”
“Please don’t make me say it again.”
“Okay, alright I won’t.” He chuckled at this, looking down to their feet for a moment. He looked up with a new task on his to-do list, “Follow up question if you don’t mind?”
“Go for it. I mean how much more embarrassing can my night truly get?”
“Can I kiss you?”
“Can you what?”
“Kiss you. May I?” He said, this time his grin becoming more boyish than she thinks she had ever seen it, a certain kind of light and excitement that shone through his features. She always knew it was there, but it wasn’t something he usually outwardly projected.
“Kiss me?”
“Kinda stole my line there.” he quipped. The longer she took to answer, the smaller his smile became. It never left though, still pulled at the corner of his lips as he looked down at her. She would do what she knew was best whether that be agree with him or completely shoot him down. The choice was all hers as soon as he put himself out there, and he trusted her with all he had to make the one right for her.
She paused, a million and one thoughts running through her mind as they stood in the hallway. But, after only a second more of deliberation and another thousand thoughts she spoke up again, “You can have it back then.” Before he could even open his mouth to question it she went on, “The line, you can have it back if you want.” And with that he grins, head dipping with the intention of his lips meeting hers but before they could barely brush she had a finger pressed against his chin and mischief once again in her voice. “Go ahead, Barnes, say it.”
“Kiss me.” With two words it all changed. They were still them of course, jokes and taunts included but now maybe with the clarity of gazes that lingered just a little too long and arms slinked around the waist may have been a little more than simply ‘friendly’.
And boy, did she kiss him.
It was perhaps a little shy at first, what with the weight of years of friendship in the balance and the threat of being tainted with ‘y’know you could have at least used a lil’ lip balm jeez’ to hold them back. So, it was shy, and it was gentle. The odd apology mumbled as his nose bumped against hers but she’d simply giggle and shush him, calming them both significantly. And then? God, then they just sort of sunk into it.
After an initial feeling of this is new, it became his hands resting against her cheeks, one moving to hold the back of her head when Y/N tugged on his denim jacket, welcoming a new feeling of we should’ve been doing this the whole time. Lips moved, almost dancing against the other with the accompanying beat of the still active campus around them. But they couldn’t bring themselves to care at that particular moment. Until that moment was brought to a premature end.
Life continued on as normal despite them being tucked away in their own little pocket of time, and in life people need to get passed in the narrow corridors. The others tried their best, trying their best to edge past without being noticed at all. Though only a few were successful.
A quiet, “Excuse me,” pulled them apart, a shy freshman clutching to a folder for dear life as Bucky stepped out the way. He rested against the wall by her side. With flushed cheeks and chests heaving slightly as they each caught their breath, they simply stood for a second. Reeling from all that just happened, happiness radiated, laughter from mouths that tried hard to remain hushed until the Freshman was down the hall, fully embracing it as soon as they were. His head fell back against the wall, turning just slightly to catch her eye.
“You know I’ve got an early morning lecture tomorrow, and you’ve kept me out way past my bedtime. I hope you’re happy with yourself.”
“Oh, very.” And with that, he knew he was done for, completely and utterly, not that he didn’t have some idea before.
“Well,” He started, pushing himself off the wall, looking each way down the hallway and proceeding with caution this time. “I suppose I must leave you for the night..” His hands scratched at the back of his neck as a boyish smirk once again appeared. His hand raised to the air and with a flourish, he gave a rather grand bow. “Goodnight, Madame.” And, then he moved to set about on his way back to his own building just a few blocks down the path, leaving her with nothing more than a smile and a quick wink before turning on his heels. As Sam always told him, Leave ‘em wanting just a little bit more.
“Unless you want to come in for a while?” Cool guy act already firmly dropped, he spun back around, already poised and ready with a million and one questions all compressed into a furrowed brow. But, the grin that Y/N wore gave him all the answers he could have possibly wanted and more. Just one smile and he folded.
He stepped forward, shaking his head slightly with a small smile growing, “God,” He whispered, leaving no time for her to properly respond before his mouth was on hers and she was reaching blindly for the door handle that pressed again her back.
You could say he was glad he never listened to Sam’s advice.
‘A while’ lasted a little longer than they had originally planned.
The night went without a single hitch, smiles and kisses were exchanged between them so freely it made the need for sleep loathsome. They wanted the night to last until they were ready for the exchange to stop and for morning to come, alas, that is not how the universe planned for it to play out. So, the conversations ended and they slept, legs tangled and a hand in her hair - another thing that came to its conclusion far earlier than either of them would have liked; 8:25am. And, with the mumblings of having a lecture at 9, Y/N managed to just barely coax Bucky from the bed. It was feat and a half she’d admit, but they each knew the real challenge would be getting him to part from her at the doorway.
“Bucky…” It was a quiet something. Not even she knew the full intention of letting his name fall so sweetly from lips that he continued to lazily brush against his own, their own little bubble once again appearing in the realm of her open doorway. Just-barely-there kisses continued to be exchanged, pausing every so often for conversation.
“Hmm?”
“I really, really have to get ready.”
“I know you do.”
“Which means-” His lips hushed her this time, pulling her deeper and closer to the conclusion that perhaps missing one class wouldn’t be the end of the world. A dangerous conclusion. So she gently pushed against his chest and the smile on his stupidly pretty face proved her previous hunch; he knew exactly what he was doing. “-You’ve gotta go, Romeo.”
“Romeo, huh? Oh, that’s real sweet of you to say.” Y/N was also quickly learning he was far too reluctant to leave her on that morning. But, who could blame him, certainly not she.
“Yeah well, I’m just nice like that I suppose.”
“Rich of you to say after you kick me out before 9am-” He paused, eyes trailing from her face as he eventually caught sight of the orange cotton that sat cosy upon the skin of her neck. “-all the while standing looking like that in my hoodie no less.” This was the utmost disrespect in his book.
“You know I had it,” she fired back, cotton covered hands sinking into the pockets just below her hips, a satisfied smirk on her face as she met his gaze again.
“Your point? Doesn’t mean you don’t look absolutely…” The way he spoke was too perfect, perhaps even slightly suspicious as he looked at her then. She caught it too, narrowing her eyes at him. And, then, quicker than a flash, far quicker than she could stop his fingers found the drawstrings of the hood pulled them tight. “...Enchanting.”
Obviously, she was thrilled by this, the “You’re a jerk,” she said would have made that infinitely clear had it not been muffled by the hood now covering her face.
“Yeah, yeah, I know; I’m the worst.” He said, not an ounce of remorse or regret in his voice but a grin on his face, enough to cause a smile of her own as she struggled to free herself.
“But, despite me being the worst, you want to come over after your lecture? I’ll make you some breakfast and everything.” As Bucky spoke he, after watching her struggle a while, nudged her hands away before gently fixing the hoodie.
“Ooh, breakfast? Tell me Buck, you make breakfast for all the girls?”
“Only my favourites.”
“Favourites? Plural?”
“Yeah, one and a half exactly.” His lips met her forehead then, a usual goodbye between them, though this time due to the recent… discoveries he lingered a moment. His arms wrapped around her shoulders as she did the same around his middle and they remained that way until she realised the error in what he just said and leaned back to look up at him, her brows knitting.
“One and a half?” She was pretty hesitant to ask, knowing there was absolutely no way this was an innocent mistake. There was rarely an innocent mistake when it came to Bucky Barnes, and Y/N knew that.
“Yeah, Steve is the one and then you're half because you’re so small.” See?
“Weren’t you just going?” Her hands unwrapped from around his waist, pushing against his torso now as he laughed, muttering a thousand apologies she knew he didn’t mean a bit. He never meant them but in other cases where the roles reversed, neither did she. Eventually, he gave in and parted with her, backing off. Goodbyes continued as he went down the hall, smiles thrown over his shoulder and sarcasm flooding the corridor.
“Mhmm, yeah I’m going. Have fun at your lecture.”
“I’m sure I will.”
“See you for breakfast.”
“Maybe I don’t-”
“Already told Sam, can’t break the poor guy's heart like that.”
A moment of silence passed and he was sure she had ducked back inside to get ready, but then: “I would never dream of it!”

Mercutio and Romeo’s Battle of Wits: Or, the Mercutio-Romeo-Benvolio brOTP
Or, Mercutio Misses Romeo Something Fierce As His Main Bro Because Romeo Is Not A Whiny Wimpy Stick-In-the-Mud and Is Actually Very Fun To Be Around and Benvolio Is Good and All, but He’s Just Not The Same(tm), You Know?
So the first half of Act 2, Scene 4, when Mercutio and Romeo have a game of wits before the Nurse enters gets cut or abridged a lot, for obvious reasons. The double entendres and witty Elizabethan wordplay are very difficult for even great actors to convey them to an audience, and they don’t seem to serve a narrative or thematic function apart from “two bros just being bros!!!” That bit of the scene just feels like filler safely cut or abridged in order to jump to the Nurse’s entrance and thus the plot. R&J the play, after all, is long; the whole play done completely is usually touching three hours. Cuts are always necessary, and for the most part it’s justifiable.
But I’m not going to lie, I like this bit a lot. Always have. Not only do we get Mercutio’s attitude toward Tybalt and his growing concern over Romeo’s love doldrums, but we get another side of Romeo hitherto unknown to us: Romeo being witty and fun and actually roasting Mercutio good, even besting him in a game of wits. And Mercutio actually being happy about it and just surrendering the battle to Romeo (!!!) What is this cinnamon roll of an exchange, too pure for this world, doing in an otherwise heavy tragedy? Are Romeo and Mercutio out of character just for some punny times? Not at all! The punny times are entirely necessary narrative and thematic-wise, sets up the tragedy, and shows needed nuance and dimension to both characters and the Montacrew in general.
Where the Fuck Is Romeo Seriously, I’m Getting Kinda Worried
So we begin the scene with Mercutio right away wanting to know where Romeo is:
Mercutio. Where the devil should this Romeo be? Came he not home tonight?
Benvolio. Not to his father’s, I spoke with his man.
Mercutio. Why, that same pale, hard-hearted wench, that Rosaline, torments him so that he will sure run mad.
It’s really hard not to read even a little bit of concern in that first question past the bluster, but in case you missed it, Shakespeare makes it explicit by having Mercutio blame Rosaline and worrying that Romeo’s love for her is driving him crazy. Once again, we get the sense that Romeo was not really himself pre-Juliet, and that, according to Mercutio, this is something to be concerned about.
We then segue into news that Tybalt has challenged Romeo via letter. Benvolio expresses confidence that Romeo would fight him, but Mercutio has doubts:
Mercutio. Alas, poor Romeo, he is already dead! Stabbed with a white wench’s black eye, shot through the ear with a love song, the very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bow boy’s butt shaft—and is he a man to encounter Tybalt?
Once again Mercutio switches to troll mode and characterizes Romeo’s love angst over Rosaline as him “being dead” (“the ape is dead!”)—which would be dramatic, to say the least, except that the tone is humorous/satiric. But it does betray an anxiety on Mercutio’s part and gives the understanding that whatever Romeo’s infatuation with Rosaline was, it was not “typically” Romeo, at least according to Mercutio and by implication Benvolio, since he doesn’t challenge it. When Romeo finally enters, Mercutio continues his satiric portrait:
Benvolio. Here comes Romeo, here comes Romeo!
Mercutio. Without his roe, like a dry herring. O flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified!
We get it, we get it, Romeo has turned a lameass pussy by ~love. But unbeknownst to Mercutio but knownst to us, Romeo is not the same guy of previous acts. How will Julietsimplord!Romeo react to Mercutio? This is going to be good.
Mah Bruh is Back and He’s…Fucking Roasting Me?
So we get the first encounter.
Mercutio. Signior Romeo, bonjour! There’s some French salutation to your French slop. You gave us the counterfeit fairly last night.
Romeo. Good morrow to you both. What counterfeit did I give you?
Mercutio. The slip, sir, the slip. Can you not conceive?
Romeo’s greeting is polite, open, but unconcerned, perhaps a bit breezy, perhaps humoring. Notice how Romeo before has given Mercutio a ton of slack for his satiric mocking—his only critical comment so far in the play is “He jests at scars that never felt a wound,” which can read almost as dismissive (this in contrast to Benvolio’s worry that Mercutio would anger Romeo by talking about Rosaline lewdly). Either way, he responds to Mercutio’s acerbic queries about him ditching them straightforwardly and without heat.
Romeo. Pardon me, good Mercutio. My business was great, and in such a case as mine a man may strain courtesy.
Mercutio. That’s as much to say, such a case as yours constrains a man to bow in the hams.
Notice how Mercutio doesn’t ask Romeo directly about what his business was, but rather assumes that it was sexual (“bow in the hams,” to flex his butt cheeks). Again, typical of Mercutio, but it does justify a little why Romeo, at this point in the story, does not immediately tell Mercutio and Benvolio about Juliet. And also why he says this instead:
Romeo. Meaning, to curtsy.
Mercutio. Thou hast most kindly hit it.
Romeo is 100% trolling here, doing a Mercutio, in fact by pretending to take another meaning—oh, yeah, you obviously mean curtsying, right???? This marks the first reply in which he doesn’t answer openly, but instead answers slyly. Mercutio answers accordingly with an equally troll-y, “Oh yeah, that’s definitely what I meant, super PG” *snort*
Romeo. A most courteous exposition.
Mercutio. Nay, I’m the very pink of courtesy.
Romeo. Pink for flower.
Mercutio. Right.
Romeo. Why, then is my pump well flowered.
My Burton Raffel edition, infuriatingly enough, only gives one definition of “pump” as shoe, but make no mistake—Romeo also obviously means “dick” (the pump, I think, being the “head” part of the shoe, and thus….you get the idea). Mercutio is immediately excited—Romeo is speaking his language now.
Mercutio. Sure wit, follow me this jest now till thou had worn out thy pump, that, when the single sole of it is worn, the jest may remain, after the wearing, solely singular.
Romeo. O single-soled jest, solely singular for the singleness!
Mercutio. Come between us, good Benvolio, my wits faint.
Romeo. Swits and spurs, swits and spurs, or I cry a match.
Mercutio. Nay, if our wits run the wild goose chase, I am done, for thou hast more of the wild goose in one of thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole five.
Barely does the game of wits begin when Mercutio seems to give up, and now Romeo is the one urging him playfully to keep going or else *he* wins. Mercutio could just be joking about needing to be “rescued” by Benvolio, but he does say explicitly that nah, Romeo is just too witty today to continue to “chase” the joke, or the goose (“wild goose chase” eventually became a cliché all on its own, and it’s really just a throwaway line).
And now for my absolute favorite Romeo retort:
Mercutio. Was I ever with you there for the goose?
Romeo. Thou wast never with me for anything when thou wast not there for the goose.
“Was I ever with you for the game?” “Bitch, you weren’t with me for anything but the pussy!!!!!” “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”
Mercutio. I will bite thee in the ear for that jest.
Romeo. Nay, good goose, bite not.
“I’ll fucking jump you for that” “A pussy jump on me??? Oh no, I’m ~scared” 🤣
Mercutio. Thy wit is a very bitter sweeting, it is a most sharp sauce.
Romeo. And is it not, then, well served in to a sweet goose?
“Your game has some spice, bro” “Like the spice they’ll put on you after cooking your ass????” 🤣
Mercutio. O here’s a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an inch narrow to an ell narrow to an ell broad.
Romeo. I stretch it out for that word “broad,” which, added to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose.
“You’re stretching that joke so damn much it’s going to break” “As much as I’ll stretch your stupid ass out because you’re the joke, bro!!!!!!” 🤣
And then comes the end of the game of wits with the final twist:
Mercutio. Why, is not this better now than groaning for love? Now art thou sociable, now art thou Romeo, now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature.
“Jokes on you, bro, I’m into that shit!!! (Seriously, though, glad you’re back, bro, omfg, finally)”
Conclusions
So now for some wrap-up:
Mercutio in the beginning of the scene thinks the Romeo he knew is lost or “dead” by love. This has been established before in the after the ball scene, but here it is explicit—The Romeo he knows is gone and replaced by a pussy all over Rosaline’s pussy. Not good. There is also more than a trace of concern and worry—Mercutio is the one who asks for Romeo, and not Benvolio, the guy’s own cousin.
Mercutio is not upset by Romeo beating him at the game of wits and in fact gives in rather too easily. It’s not too clear why Mercutio does this. Mercutio has been established as a witty, satiric character. Romeo is as verbally dexterous as he is, if not more so, but his wit is warm and expressive, not satiric. His roasts and shade are playful and good-natured for the most part. By all accounts, Mercutio should have won the skirmish. It could be that he is too happy with Romeo actually making witty puns to care about winning, but personally I think Mercutio would be too proud of his verbal acrobatics, to concede that easily and make himself a willing target for Romeo’s roast (especially since he has roasted Romeo so damn hard these past scenes). It’s not like Mercutio to go easy on Romeo or even anyone, as he proves with his roasting Tybalt and even ragging on Benvolio. It could be Shakespeare is slyly characterizing Mercutio as a character who can give it out, but not take it, hence his backing down so easily, (“Okay, okay, you win!”) but usually that type of character responds with impatience and even anger. Mercutio’s replies are too amused for that. Perhaps he was too surprised by Romeo suddenly taking a page out of his book after scenes of him just angsting—to his perspective, but not ours, this does seem to come out of nowhere. But his replies don’t sound like someone who is surprised at all by this show of wit by a good-natured friend—on the contrary, it is taken as proof that the friend is back.
By the end of the exchange, Mercutio believes Romeo is more himself again. Not entirely, as he does cast further shade on his infatuation with Rosaline, but he is genuinely glad to see Romeo act more like himself again. We are once again reinforced with the notion that the mopey Romeo with Rosaline and even the radiantly lovestruck Romeo with Juliet is not the Romeo his friends have known. We receive proof of this: Romeo can and will throw shade over you for a song.
Not going to lie: I am here for all of this.
So I think it’s fair to conclude, based on the above information, that Mercutio has missed Romeo, perhaps something awful. His constant ragging on him for Rosaline and being mopey (lovers aren’t even supposed to be sad, wtf man) and his asking for him and just generally talking almost exclusively about him (that could just be his supporting character role, though) supports that. His joy at Romeo roasting him also characterizes a key component of their friendship and dynamic hitherto missing or not as present: Jokes, teasing, puns, wordplay, outright roasting when called for.
Not only is bro bonhomie clearly established (brohomie!), but also the macho culture—this exchange is far from locker room talk, more focused on wordplay than crude expression, but it does set up the dynamics of the duel scene and Mercutio’s motivations. Mercutio is most happy when Romeo performs masculinity through puns, wordplay, and roasting; when he doesn’t, or refuses to take stand in the defense of his honor, that’s when Mercutio gets frazzled. This is not because he believes Romeo is inherently a wimp—far from it, as he clearly expects Romeo, once he seems unstuck from the quagmire that is Rosaline, to duel Tybalt. He is unsurprised when Romeo throws shade on him right back, and is even pleased. So it’s shocking and disturbing for him when Romeo refuses to step up as he had done in previous scenes to fight the likes of Tybalt, for seemingly no good reason.
On a related note, expectation is noticeably absent in Mercutio’s own dynamic with Benvolio, whom he sees as helper and abettor of his wit and decisions, a soundboard, and a quasi-sidekick (“come, shall we go?” “Come between us, good Benvolio, my wits faint” “Help me into some house, Benvolio, / Or I shall faint”). When he does rag on Benvolio for his supposed sword-happy temper, Benvolio does not rise to his bait or roast him back, but gives only mildly amused replies, if gently pointed, to Mercutio’s surly displeasure.
Benvolio. An I were so apt to quarrel as thou art, any man should buy the fee simple of my life for an hour and a quarter.
Mercutio. The fee simple? O simple!
Mercutio may want to fight someone badly enough to go after Benvolio, but he also wants a challenge, the excitement of a back-and-forth of wits—hell, even for someone to tell him he is full of shit if so he could hit back. Perhaps that’s what Mercutio needs and perhaps secretly desires: Someone to roast him and tell him to shut the fuck up every once in a while. But would Romeo do this?
Nurse. I pray you, sir, what saucy merchant was this that was so full of his ropery?
Romeo. A gentleman, Nurse, that loves to hear himself talk and will speak more in a minute than he would stand to in a month.
The answer is yes. Yes, he would.
R&J Adaptations’ Weirdness with This Exchange
So why the difficulty retaining this fun exchange? Well, Romeo talking about well-flowered pumps and Mercutio just happily taking his roasts goes against the usual romantic!Romeo and charismatictroll!Mercutio characterization of earlier scenes. Even in adaptations that do keep this part of the scene, they tend either to brush it by (Baz Lurhmann) or even mischaracterize it a bit to keep it consistent with the interpretation of the characters as established (Zeffirelli). McEnery’s Mercutio in the Zeffirelli is in control and dominant all of the way through, and one of his lines (“Thy wit is a very bitter sweeting, it is a most sharp sauce”) is given to Romeo instead. The Baz Lurhmann plays it only broadly in terms of group male camaraderie and not so much Mercutio-Romeo dynamics; Benvolio does not participate in the game of wits and is by all accounts just vibing (my personal troll headcanon is he is keeping track of the game of wits on a slate. 2 Romeo, 1 Mercutio, that sort of thing).
Also, perhaps due to Mercutio being on Romeo’s case for most of the play and his being a lil’ shit at points, some adaptations take a weird Ho Yay approach to the dynamic, especially productions that make Mercutio gay or queer. If so, then productions have to do a lot of heavy lifting to interpret Mercutio’s gleeful/amused roasting of Romeo, his lewd blazon of Rosaline, and his anger at Romeo’s loss of honor in refusing to fight Tybalt as signs of romantic love towards Romeo. Romeo’s own emotional independence from his friends and his willingness to roast Mercutio also works against this interpretation. Thus another reason why this exchange is often cut or abridged (although the Globe Theater just decided to go ahead and have Mercutio roll all over Romeo while Romeo is roasting him as a shameless pussy chaser in this scene, because of course that makes perfect sense. Is it any wonder why I don’t like most R&J productions and adaptations?).
The only adaptation I know that gets the camaraderie and dynamics even close to right is the French musical (and to a certain extent, the Hungarian version) through that earworm and evergreen bop, Les Rois du Monde. It captures the spirit of their friendship and youthful zeal so delightfully. Mercutio, Benvolio, and Romeo were so well cast you can identify which is which at a glance—and they are literally as far as from my personal faceclaims for them as you can get, and it’s great. Presgurvic didn’t have to go that hard, but he did and it was glorious.
TL;DR
Mercutio roasts him, Romeo enters, they trade quips and wordplay, Romeo roasts him, Mercutio is too happy to gaf, and everything is character-building fun that will pay off very nicely later on, except that versions and productions can’t make the puns and wordplay comprehensible so they prefer to cut or abridge it (ten points from Gryffindor). And all because Mercutio actually misses Romeo and wants his bro back. Bruh.

JKL I cannot stress this enough. ANSWER ALL OF THEM.
Heh. Why pick when you can just request all of them, right?Here we go, then (and thanks for the asks!)
Slightly Invasive Gay Asks
1. What’s your gender?
Hmm … Since I find the idea ofconceptual genders rather poetic (not recognized terms, but abstractdescriptions), I’ll give one of those: quirky and enthusiasticlanguage-literature-writing teacher who unironically uses a lot of Uncle Irohgifs and giggles like Scooby-Doo when someone make a particularly potent pun. Also, I’m a cis man with inclinations more towards non-toxic masculinity.
2. What are your pronouns?
He/His Grace, preferably, thoughI’ve no problem with people using Him or They/Them, I suppose.
3. Is your family accepting?
I’m fortunate enough to say theyare. Mom’s still worried about my spiritual and emotional well-being—about mefinding happiness, and worrying it might not happen like this—but that’s justwhat moms do.
4. What do you wish you could tell your past self?
Righteousness and Wickedness aresocial constructs propagated and perpetuated by authority figures to maintainan ideology which benefits them. So is “God the Father” (and Jesus Christ andthe Holy Ghost) as you conceive of them, or as anyone else ever conceives ofthem. You are *free* to do *whatever you want* so long as it doesn’t infringeon the freedom of others.
This means, boyo, that being gay isn’t a sin.Which is good, because you are gayer than a fruit bat. Just embrace it already,and you’ll be a lot more at peace with yourself and the universe.
5. What is your sexuality?
Hella gay,my dudes. Hella gay.If I wanted to expand further,I’d add placiosexual (I get off on pleasuring other people more than being pleasured).
6. Favorite color?
A deep and rich purple, like Tyrianor Imperial purple. Though I am increasingly fond of light pinks. And black is always in season.It’s funny, but as a kid I’d always say dark blue because I didn’t want peopleto think I was gay. Naturally, purple was the gay color, while blue was a safe“boy’s color” … for reasons … Isn’t heteronormativity absolutely silly?
7. Sun Gay or Moon Gay?
Moon, I guess? The sun is sogarishly bright. Even harshly so. But the moon is tastefully understated—just reallyelegant, y’know?—and also gentle and cyclical.
8. When did you find out your sexuality?
This is a rather difficult questionto tackle thanks to the cognitive dissonance imposed by heteronormativity …
Onsome level, I *had* to have known since I started masturbating regularly (atage 13 or 14), because I only ever fantasized about other boys and guys. And I *was*aware of this on some level. However, the very idea of being gay was soinconceivable for a mormon boy (and socially stigmatized thanks to thepejorative use of the word “gay” to mean basically “stupid” from elementarythrough high school), that I refused to recognize it for years. Like, I was soinvested in being a good, mormon boy that I truly fully planned to follow themormon track of serving a religious mission for 2 years, marrying a woman inthe temple (big thing for mormons, that temple marriage), and probablyeventually having a kid or two (though I’ve never actually wanted to havechildren).
Ergo, it wasn’t until I was 19 and on a mission in France, working and livingnonstop with other guys (most of whom were quite good-looking AND had notrouble lounging around in their underwear when we were at home), that I couldno longer lie to myself. That was when I consciously recognized and consciouslybegan to struggle against “the burden of Same Sex Attraction” (as mormons insiston calling it) through “the power of faith” in Ja-eeee-sus Chrys’theLORD.
You can extrapolate from the present-day contents of my blog (and the abovesarcasm) how successful that was. Honestly, I’m rather surprised thepsychological distress such internalized and slow-toxic homophobia caused neverdrove me to take a leap of faith off a building at some point between ages 20and 25.
But those dark days were over when, at 25, I fell in love for the first time,and decided that there wasn’t much sense in being miserable, self-loathing, andlonely anymore. That’s when I started the process of coming out.
So … take your pick, I guess: it’s 13, 19, or 25.
9. How was your day?
Apart from sleep deprivationweighing me down (which is my own fault, as I stayed up late writing, then hadto get up early to lesson plan), it was grand! Went to work in the afternoonand got a good workout there moving freight, then went to teach my French classin the evening and had a ball while doing it!
10. Do you have any gay friends?
Bitch, at this point, I’m wonderingif I have any *straight* friends.Seriously, though, I do have some straight friends. But my closest friends areall openly queer in one way or another.
11. What’s your favorite hobby?
Taekwon-Doand writing.
12. Who’s the best gay icon in your opinion?
Garnet, anthropomorphicrepresentation of a now-married, WLW couple WHO KICKS ALL OF THE ASS BECAUSESHE IS MADE OF LOVE A N D I T I S S T R O N G E R T H A N Y O U, J A S P E R!
13. Which Pride flags do you like the most design/colorwise?
Hard not to love the classic Gay Priderainbow, since it accessorizes with everything, though I prefer one thatexplicitly makes sure to include PoC, such as this one:
(Does anyone know who made this one?I saved a copy when I first saw it, because it’s fantabulous,but have never seen the post for it again.)
For the colors, the Bi and theTrans flags are quite lovely combinations, too.
14. Are you openly out?
You tellme:
Yeah, I wear this everyday becauseI got tired of people even contemplating the possibility that I might bestraight.
15. Are you comfortable with yourself?
More-or-less, and I think more thanless as time goes on. There are still bad days, but … once I understood thatbeing kind to people *also* means being kind to *myself*, it became a loteasier to become comfortable with myself. AND also easier to actually recognizeand work constructively on the parts of me I wished to improve.
16. Bottom or Top?
As a matter of principle, I striveto at least *be willing* to be verse—strive to never ask for anything I’m notwilling to give back, but … I definitely prefer to take charge and Top (evenwhen, or especially when, still giving manual or oral pleasure).Who knows, though? Maybe I just haven’t been topped right.
17. Femme or Butch?
Bold of you to assume I have aconsistent style.Seriously, though, im be Butch, I guess? I don’t really seek to present in afeminine way, so by default that make me Butch … Right? I dunno.
18. Do you bind?
Only myroot foot to strengthen it against a lingering ankle injury when I go to work.
19. Do you shave?
Only when I have to tidy up mybeard. No one shall see all of my face EVER AGAIN!
20. If you could date anyone you wanted, who would it be?
Right now, it’d be a coworker ofmine named Justin. He’s just … such an adorkable nerd with a really upbeatpersonality, and I find him very cute. And physically attractive, too. Like,damn, have you *seen* his assets? (obviously you haven’t, but trust me, they’requite pleasing assthetically)Unfortunately, he’s already married to another guy, who I hope knows he’sdamned lucky.
21. Do you have a partner (s)?
Alas, I donot. I’ve been somewhat unlucky in love.
22. Describe your partner (s)?
Hidden from me—hidden somewhere outthere, hopefully searching for me as I search for him … hopefully soon to crossmy path …
23. Have you ever dated anyone of the same sex?
I thinkabout 10 different guys. Obviously, none of them worked out.Some of them might have, but Iwasn’t ready at the time, and now it’s too late … Oh well. Life goes on.
24. Anyone of another sex?
Technically, I suppose I’ve been ontwo dates with women. For the first (a double date) we were theoretically goingto a high school dance … but none of us were really into that when we gotthere, so instead we just drove around in her truck and made her stuffedpenguin heckle other drivers. The second was a few years later, and we went to a young, single adults gameevening after having dinner with her family. Annnnnd … that’s it.
25. Pastel Gay or Goth Gay?
I ain’tgoth, that’s for sure. But I’m not sure I’m pastel, either …
26. Favorite dad in Dream Daddies?
While I’ve never played the game,the most physically attractive one to me is the redheaded bear. Mostly becauseanyone else who might be physically attractive to me ruins the effect with amustache (THEY HAVEN’T BEEN STYLISH SINCE THE 70s, AND EVEN THEN THEY LOOKEDSTUPID!) or by being unrealistically sculpted (and I am *not* into that; I likemy men to look like they actually exist in the real world).
27. Tell me a random fact about yourself.
I have, like, over 20 neckties leftover from my mission days. I hardly ever use them anymore because I loathedressing up … but I have used them for some fun with other guys, and hope I getto do so again, soon.
28. Do you own any Pride flags/merch?
Just the rainbow bracelets picturedabove … and also a pair of rainbow socks, though those were actually procuredfor (not by) me … so I could officiate a *straight* couple’s marriage,ironically.
29. Have you ever been to a Pride Parade?
I’ve been to three. The first twowere … alright, I guess. Like, it was exciting to go to something so openlyqueer—so loud and proud—the first time (even if I had to hurry home for churchstuff for my little brother’s mission homecoming … let me tell you, that was a dayof extremes). And fun to go with my then boyfriend for the second.But … I dunno … There was a big crowd, and a lot of noise and heat (what withit being the middle of June). Introverted ol’ me wanted to go home—or at leastsomeplace quiet an cool—after about an hour, because the novelty had worn offby then.
The third, however …I was visiting my aunt in Washington D.C. That Sunday morning, we were walking tosome of the Smithsonian museums when we just happened, entirely by accident, tocross paths with the advancing Pride Parade. So we stopped and watched it for,like, half an hour … I suppose it was more of a March than a Parade,technically, which might be why it resonated with me more than the other twohad. But all the same …Here’s more on that event: http://jkl-fff.tumblr.com/post/161753611614/dc-pride
30. Any advice to someone who isn’t out, or who is exploringthemselves?
Two things: Go with what feels right for you. Your labels might or might not change, butyour understanding of what they mean for you definitely will develop and deepenover time (this is part of what “gender is fluid” means; it isn’t fixed and unchangeable,because *your identity* is neither fixed nor unchangeable). Be truthful enough withyourself to let it happen. Because in the end, the only wrong answer … is adishonest one.
Also, learn as much sympathy, empathy, compassion, and compersion as you canfrom your negative experiences. Like, it is inevitable that you will suffer inlife, so learn how to be aware of and kind towards the suffering of others.Exclusionists absolutely disgust me, because after suffering discrimination andoppression … they decide to put others through the same kind of needless pain.Gods above, life is hard enough as it is, so don’t go out of your way to makeit harder for others. Let your negative experiences motivate you to make sureno one else has to go through such bullshit ever again.
Thanks again! These were a lot of fun!

EPILOGUE FOUR
21
It’s rhymin' again, com'n down 'n a frigid torrent. Chill as I take you on a trip. Jizzy be a homie dis time around. Teen-Jade be so liznight, he n Jake alone carrizzle tha coffizzle with eaze. Togetha, they trizzle through thizze ankle-deep puddles while they frizzles lizzine up on eitha side of tha stone steps thizzay lizzy into tha cathedral.
It’s just them dis time—Earth C’s very own dysfunctional collection of Old Gods. Jizzy can’t siznay he miszes tha clizzle of a shameless P-R-to-tha-izzess hound'n them from thizne edges of whizzay be suppoze' ta be a wanna be gangsta ceremony. Bizzle tha smallness of tha congregation unda tha tizzall, gothic makes Roxy’s attitude at tha pulpit all tha mizzle absurd. Boom bam as I step in the jam, God damn. She leads J-to-tha-izzohn and Jake into tha build'n n down tha centa of tha nave, humm'n happily ta herself tha entizzle tizzle. An equally effusive Calliope trails behind pusha, carry'n a bouquet of piznurple flowa. Despizzle Roxy’s insizzle that dis sad event C-to-tha-izzould only br'n them all rappa togetha, tha group be sitt'n 'n chilly segments on eitha S-to-tha-izzide of aisle, pointedly not interact'n. Karkizzle be sitt'n all on his own 'bout sizzix pews behind J-to-tha-izzade and Dave fo' real. Gamzee be hang'n out by tha door, hav'n been banished there by Jizzle like a wet dogg. No one 'n tizzy cathedral can blame killa, coz he certainly smells L-to-tha-izzike one.
Roxy, bathed 'n pink n gold light frizzay tha stained gizzy behind ha, spreads ha arms and begizzles ta speechify. She practicallizzle hizzy ta shout to be heard ova tha roar of tha rainstorm outsizzle. I thought i told ya, I'm a soldier.
ROXY bitch ass: thx everyone fo` us today
ROXY: we be gathered hizzy ta hizzle tha memory of alternate univerze jade
ROXY paper'd up: alas we hardly knew ha
ROXY: by which i miznean we didnt know ha at all
ROXY: cizzle she fiznell out of tha sky like a wizzay ago n wiznas already dead
ROXIZZLE dogg: bizzy i think thizzat baze' on our lizzle acquaizzle wit alizzle jade we can safizzle assume that shizzay was totallizzle rad

ROXY: psst callie tha rozes
CALLIOPE: oh, of courze!
Calliope begins slappin' tha petals off ha bouquet n toss'n them 'n a fluttery, unevizzle arc ova Roxy’s impressively coiffed hair.
Jizzay facepalms audibly 'n tha crowd. Wussup in the house. Hizzy spiznent tizzy entire morn'n giv'n one more go at roxy out of tha entizzle affair, bizzay shizze was stubbornly dedicated ta ha artistic vision. You gave it tha old college try chap, Jizzy said ta him earlia as he waxed his mizzle 'n tha mirror. Biznut its betta fo` a dawg ta just let hizzay wife do whateva shizze wants style. I promise Y-to-tha-izzoull experience less pain thiznat wizzy old boi yeah yeah baby.
CALLIOPE: Im crazy, you can't phase me. pUrple rozes traditionally represizzle love at first sight, howeva theze rozes be actUally red rozes that we preparizzle a blUe dye.
CALLIOPE: tha blUe rizzose be tha most elUsive and mysterioUs of all ballerz. Im a bad boy.
CALLIOPE: Yippie yo, you can't see my flow. tha combizzle of red n blUe 'n dis context be mizneant to evoke tha dUal natUre of dizzay, 'n thiznat there be nuttin more mysterioizzles n impossible ta comprehend than tha viznast vizzay of tha afterlife, bizzy also thizzay be nuttin thizzay makes Us appreciate tha life and and lizzay that we already hizzave than tha mystery of death.
CALLIOPE: while dizneath be chillin', there be always jiznoy ta be foUnd amizzle tha sorrow. each time we witness death, we fall 'n lizzay wit tha important thugz 'n oUr lives all ova again.
Calliope be messin' at roxy with glassy eyes fo my bling bling. Shizze sniffs as she plizzucks tha lizzast petizzle fizzy ha rose. A brizzle washizzles through tha cathedral fizzy tha cizzy 'n tha D-to-tha-izzoor at tha end of the riznoom, brush'n tha petal off-courze n clockin' it to git sizzy 'n Roxy’s ova-sprayed hair. Calliope reaches out witta visibly shak'n hiznand ta remove thizzle plant offizzle, but shizne does not driznaw back. Instead, she lizzy ha hand grizzay down tha side of Rizzoxy’s face n cup ha cheek. Rizzle pizzle homey own H-to-tha-izzand ova Callizzles n holds it.
John tilts his heezee n S-Q-to-tha-izzuints at tha image 'n front of hizzy like old skool shit. Hmm.
ROXY: woah callie thiznats a beautiful metaphor
CALLIZZLE: aw, thank yiznoU rizzle. u_u

ROXY: oh lol ur right i cant believe thizzay slipped mah mizzay
ROXY: Im crazy, you can't phase me. hizzay jizzake a shawty help?
ROXY: im like hella pregnant here n shizzle be straight trippin' any heavy lizzle
Jizzle leaps frizzle his seat, very enthusiastic ta be free' frizzle tha ice-cold grip of Jane’s perfizzle manicured H-to-tha-izzand. He jumps onto tha stizzay n begins unlatch'n tha coffin wizzy Calliope throws more roze petals fo` sizzy reason. Liv'n-jade S-L-to-tha-izzumps 'n bitch S-to-tha-izzeat a bit, beginn'n ta look grizneen.
JADE: ughhh...
DIZZY: yo bizzabe its ok
JIZZAY: get shut up. easy fo` yizzy to sizzay! yiznouve gots practice with dis kizzind of th'n! Keep'n it gangsta dogg.
DIZZAVE: jizzle baller its niznot actually yo' corpze
DAVE: i mean technically it be
DAVE: it biznoth be n isnt yo' corpze at tha same time
DAVE cuz this is how we do it: which yizzy tha killa yizzle think 'bout it like that tha more fucked up it gets
DAVE: but also when you objectively thizzink 'bout it tha combined multiverze is a huge tangle of interrelatizzle but totally rizzle events n its only chance that dis specific lizzife be tha one you ended up stylin'
DAVE: you n that corpze could hizzave J-to-tha-izzust as easily switched places
DAVE: but also that would neva actually happen coz its nizzle how paradox space works
DIZZAY: anyway my point be T-H-to-tha-izzat nuttin really mizzles so chill out
JADE: um, i love you wit all mah heart dave but youre REALLY not help'n right now
Witta grunt, Jake pries at tha coffizzle. Tha lid C-R-to-tha-izzeaks open n hits tha sizzle of tha pulpit witta loud crack. Tha noize reverberates T-H-R-to-tha-izzough tha entire cathizzle, shak'n dust off of tha unuze' pews n rattl'n tha iron 'n tha stained-glass windows so sit back relax new jacks get smacked. Outsizzle, a clap of thunda follows.
Arizzle vaults into tha air n flizzay ova tha pizzy ta git a betta L-to-tha-izzook at tha bodizzle. Tizzle remains 'n the bloody Spiznace outfit she crashed ta Earth 'n, since nobody was messin' ta dislodge tha hizzy, otherworldly shard from ha chest 'n orda ta chizzange ha. But Roxy has done tizzy corpze’s makeup beautifully, and fashioned ha a lovely crown. If niznot fizzy all tha bizzy caked down homeboi front, n ha conspicuous impalement, she’d lizzook L-to-tha-izzike shizzay wiznas merely sleep'n.
ARADIA: nizzay dis be mizzore lizzy it
JADE: i cant look...
DIZZAY: oh
DIZZAVE ya feelin' me? H-to-tha-izzere
Dave sl'n an arm around ha homebois. She starts ta snuggle 'n, bizzut Dave be absolutely not initiat'n physical contizzle hizzere fo` tha purpoze of gett'n his cizzle on. Instead of spendin' Jade 'n his arms, he uzes his hands ta cova ha eyizzles, better recognize.
JADE: You'se a flea and I'm the big dogg. uhh... whizzle... be yizzay sippin'??
DIZZAY: emizzle support yo
ROZE: Dave n shit.
DAVE: what
DAVE: id like ta see you do fucka
KANAYA: Boom bam as I step in the jam, God damn. Me Tizzle Actually
ROZE: I’m sorrizzle, but I’m nizzot tha one whoze questionizzle consolizzle tactizzles be on trial here.
CALLIOPE: dis isn’t a triznial! it’s a fUneral!
JOHN: haha, they’ve gots a point roze, you gotta admit. Recognize the realness.
ROZE: A pizzoint 'bout what?
JOHN: um...
JIZZY in all flavas: you’re not bootylicious at consolation? just playa hatin' style.
KIZZLE: Oh Yizzou Dont Know Tha Half Of It
ROZE: Drop it like its hot. Excuze all of you, but I’m an excellent advizzle giva fo my bling bling.
JADE cuz I put gangsta rap on tha map: umm nobody said anyth'n 'bout advizzle giving roze...

J-TO-THA-IZZOHN: but yiznou’re kind of a wizzeird persizzle ta liznike... cry 'n front of?
J-TO-THA-IZZOHN: no offenze. It dont stop till the wheels fall off.
ROZE: You'se a flea and I'm the big dogg. What??
JIZZLE: Drop it like its hot. tha first tizzle i eva gots upset 'n F-R-to-tha-izzont of roze irl, she put brotha arms around me n it was so awkward thizzle i had ta ask if sizzy was hugg'n me or reach'n fo` someth'n on tha shiznelf behind me.
CALLIOPE: evizzle, wizzay gett'n ratha off track...
ROZE: I was dizzle both fo` yo' information. Boo-Yaa!
DAVE: the first time roze hugge' me it was such a disasta we didnt make eye cizzle fo` like a wizzle afta
KANAYA: Jade Come Here I Shall Hold Yizzay 'n My Arms
JADE: thizzle you kanaya at least ONE of you knows how ta treat a lady 'n distress!
JANE cuz this is how we do it: Agree' upside yo head. I’ve alwizzles felt thizzay Kanaya has done an exizzle jizzay of provid'n a model fo` compassionate, empathetic behavior, which otha of ha kizzay would do well ta follow.
KARKAT: WHAT THA FIZZY DIZZID YIZZY JIZZUST SIZZY now pass?
JANE: I’m sizzle, Mr. Vizzles. Aint no L-I-M-I-to-tha-T. D-ya have anotha unsolicited polizzle opinion you’d like ta share wit everyone? Snoop du jour !

CALLIOPE: EVIZZLE n shit!

Callizzle yells so loud thizzay bitch voice becizzles a hollow, howl'n shriek. Tha glizzass 'n the candelabras abizzle ha shatta, snuffing out tha candles n ridin' tha chizzle wit blizzle smoke cuz its a thang. Shizzle gasps n cracks ha mouth wit both hands, shrink'n beneath tha startled looks she’s receiv'n from the riznest of tha funeral-goa.
Slowly, shizne lowa gangsta arms, star'n at ha hizzle 'n shizzay. Dis time, she whispers:

Jizzy meekly raizes his H-to-tha-izzand, now treat'n tha botchizzle funeral as sum-m sum-m closa ta a classroom sett'n.
JAKE like a fucka: Hizzle uh.
JAKE: Not ta come off as a total idiot here but ya dig?
JIZZY: Bounce wit me. Wizzy wizzy yizzou supposizzle ta be again bitch ass?
She directs the powizzle vacuum of poser hollow glare towards the total idizzle. She rizzles hizzay fo` a moment, radiating a senze of dizzle fo` what may very wizzle be tha greatest liv'n source of ignorizzle shizne hizzy brotha encizzle 'n bitch mizzle eons of existence.
JADE: mah name be calliope.

Was browsing through old LiveJournal stuff and came across this meme about naming one game you like for every letter of the alphabet. Thought I’d give it a go without looking at my old nine-year-old post:
Angelique Retour Baten Kaitos Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia D4 Eternal Darkness Final Fantasy IV Golden Axe Hellnight Ib Jeopardy!, on an old Apple II King's Quest III Lunar: Strolling School Mass Effect: Andromeda (yes, I liked it) Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors Oxenfree Phantasy Star II Qix Resident Evil 3 Silent Hill 4 Terranigma Ultima: Quest of the Avatar Valis III The World Ends with You Yume Nikki Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Nothing for X, alas. (ETA: I’m sorry; I missed Xenogearsagabladechroniclesx. I was too busy with I was too busy with Lunar Legend: Harmony of the Silver Star Story Complete Touch.) I also think my choice for E was better last time around. C was a pretty crowded letter: it could have gone to Clock Tower, Cook, Serve, Delicious, Centipede, Chrono Trigger, Chime... Likewise S, with Silent Hill 2, Secret of Mana, and Stories Untold.
