#but i like ranting about things i do not like in this show

[thethronezone]

We all know children, especially the younger ones, can be absolutly ruthless in their comments. Sooo how would the dads react to be annihilated by their child, either by a offhand comment or because they gave them sass. And to make it even worse there were witnesses XD

When Mortarion gets back home from a long campaign, all he wants to do is see his kid, ok? But the moment he steps into their room, they scrunch up their nose and frown. "Ewww, you smell like rotten egg." Mortarion pauses, knowing that he sometimes goes nose-blind. Tries to subtly catch a whiff of his own scent. Excuses himself to go and take a bath. Feels a tad embarrassed, mostly because he saw a serf choke on her own spit when his kid made that comment.

Fulgrim and his child, a teenager at this point, gets into an intense argument. It escalates when his kid calls him a "senior citizen". Fulgrim actually finds himself at a loss for words at that, so offended that he can't help but gape uselessly like a fish. The space marines nearby share a wide-eyed look and quickly vacate the area, just in time for Fulgrim to go on a ten minute rant about how he'd not old, how rude that was, children should respect their parents and all that jazz. His kid feels satisfied knowing they won that argument.

It's one of those days when the nails in Angron's head are causing him immense pain and making him lash out at everyone around him. Sadly, this includes his kid who he ends up yelling at sometimes. His kid, used to this and completely over it, turns to the closest person, a new space marine, and goes "You'll have to excuse him, he gets cranky when he's hungry." Angron grits his teeth enough that it causes his gums to bleed but leaves before he can say, or do, something he'll regret.

One of the things Magnus enjoys doing the most is teaching his child new things. Whenever they understand something, the moment it clicks in their brain, their eyes sparkle in a way that reminds him so much of himself. Today's lesson is special, about ancient Terran history. Magnus, wanting to test his little one, decides to ask them if they have any idea how he knows all of these facts. His child thinks about it for a moment, brows furrowed in deep contemplation before they look up to meet his gaze. "Because you're very old." Magnus face twitches before he breaks out into a wide smile and chuckles. The idea that his little one thinks that he's old enough to have experienced the Terra of old... it's more charming than it is offensive.

As they get older, Perturabo gets into quite a lot of fights and arguments with his child as they grow more and more independent and stop listening to him. During one of these arguments, Perturabo calls his kid childish because they refuse to do as he say. Their reply? "I AM a child, what's your excuse?" It's only the presence of other people that keeps Perturabo from blowing up, otherwise he would have started yelling at them at full volume. Instead he bites his tongue, grits his teeth and immediately sends them to their room, telling them that they are grounded and that he will come up with a suitable punishment for mouthing off.

Alpharius and Omegon are told that their kid asked for them and so they show up in their room, only to be met by a face that looks very disappointed when they see them. The twins tilt their heads and ask if their child didn't call for them. The child huffs. "No, I did, I just meant the fun Alpharius." Turns out, none of them are the 'fun' Alpharius, that's some random Alpha Legion marine. Neither of them know how to feel about this.

Lorgar is watching with pride as his little one is making friends with some children, standing a fair distance away together with the other parents. Close enough to hear what the kids are talking about but far enough to give them a sense of space. The other children start talking about what their parents do for a living. Lorgar's child listens attentively and when it's their turn to say what he does, they puff up their chest with pride. "My father spends a lot of time on his knees". Lorgar can't help the laugh of surprise that escapes him. He awkwardly explains to the other parents, who suddenly can't look him in the eyes, that his child is talking about praying.

It happens sometimes that Horus tells his child how much they remind him of himself. One day, he says that they look a lot like he did when he was their age and that they are probably going to grow up to look like him too. His child suddenly looks very distressed. "Does that mean I'm also going to be bald some day?" they ask while staring at the top of his head. Horus throws his head back and laughs, taking no offense to the statement. He ruffles his child's hair. Not unless you shave it, little one!" Only laughs more when he sees how relieved his child looks.

So Konrad's kid is in their rebellious teenage phase and Konrad is not handling it well. They argue quite a lot and Konrad can get quite nasty when this happens. His kid, however, can get equally nasty, as made evident during one of their more intense arguments after Konrad makes a remark about them making bad life choices. "Father, with all due respect, when you were my age you used to eat rats and run around in the nude, slaughtering criminals with your bare hands. I believe I am doing quite fine in comparison." The serfs scurry out of the room, the Night Lords hold their breaths and Konrad bites his tongue so hard it bleeds. After a few seconds, he tells his kid that fine, to do whatever they want and not to come running back to him when it blows up in their face.

Sanguinius wants to show his child, who is still very young, that not all planets of the Imperium are the same, so he brings them to different worlds. One of the worlds he brings them to is an agri-world. His little one is very fascinated by the whole thing, especially the animals. Sanguinius is happy they are enjoying themself when suddenly they grab his one of his hands and point at something. "Look dad, it's you!" Sanguinius turns his head... and sees a goose hissing at them. He's got to cover his mouth with his other hand in order to stifle his laughter. The Blood Angels accompanying them has to do the same. Sanguinius is not offended, he just finds it charming.

It's one of those rare times where Corvus brings his little one with him to Terra. During this visit, his kid happens to meet Malcador for the first time. Corvus stands behind his kid as Malcador talks to them. Malcador asks his child if they like visiting Terra. Corvus' child nods. "Yeah, it's fun, I get to meet a lot of new, exciting people. Dad don't get out of the house a lot, that's why he's got no friends." Malcador laughs with such intensity that he wheezes and Corvus has to look away to hide his embarrassed expression, his pale cheeks turning a dusty pink.

It happens when Ferrus is in his workshop, where he's been for a couple of days straight, working away on a new project. He's interrupted by his child who peeks into the room and he scolds them for it. His child, rather than looking remorseful or saying sorry, looks at him in clear disappointment and goes "This is why you don't have any friends, dad" and closes the door. Ferrus just stands there, slack-jawed, wondering if he heard them right. He looks at the other people in his workshop, all who are desperately pretending to have not heard a thing. Ferrus snaps his mouth shut and goes back to work, trying to not dwell on how much truth his child's words held.

It's a calm day for Rogal and his child is sitting on his lap as he does paperwork. He talks to them while he's working, explaining just what he's doing. He feels very proud because it appears his child is listening attentively to what he has to say. Suddenly, his kid turns their head to look him in the eyes. Rogal assumes that they have a question and pauses his explanation. Instead, his kid frowns and says, with quite a disgruntled tone, "Dad, you're very boring." Rogal blinks slowly, shares a look with the Imperial Fist standing guard by the door who looks equally surprised, then looks down at his kid. He grumbles. "It might still be a bit over your head..."

One day, Vulkan is asked the question all parents are eventually asked: where do babies come from? Vulkan explains that when two people love each other, sometimes a baby grows in one of them and that person gets a really big stomach in the meantime because of this. His child stares at him for a long time. They they stare at his stomach, confused. "I'm having a sibling?" It takes a second for Vulkan to understand what his child means but then he's laughing.

Lion is lecturing his kid on the importance of honor and duty. Again. It's something they have heard countless times before and they find the whole thing tedious. Under their breath, they mutter "Rich coming from someone that used to wipe with leaves." Of course their father hears what they said and pauses in the middle of his tirade, brows furrowing and nostrils flaring with offense. The room goes quiet, the Dark Angels desperately trying to pretend they didn't hear anything. Lion punishes his kid for their disrespect by sentencing them to aid the serfs in the kitchen, peeling potatoes and stuff for a month.

Leman is very happy with the way his little one gets along with the fenrisian wolves. His kid will play with them, run with them, feed them and it makes him feel proud. One thing he does not understand however is their insistence on burying their face in the wolves still wet fur after they have been given a bath. Witnessing this behavior, he one day decides to ask them. His kid peeks up from the dripping wet fur of a wolf and smiles innocently at him. "Because it smells like you, dad!" It takes Leman a couple of seconds to realize that apparently, his kid thinks he smells like wet dog. Huh. He looks around the room, trying to catch the eyes of the serfs, but they are all staring at the ceiling, refusing to meet his gaze. Double huh.

As a man that cares about legacy and duty, Jaghatai tells his kid that when he gets really old and frail, that they will take over after him. His kid, the little rascal that they are, looks him dead in the eyes and says "Oh, so soon then?" Jaghatai has to physically stop himself from smiling, finding their quick wit very charming, and simply ruffles their hair. Tells them that it will still be a long time before that happens, don't worry child. Does, however, shoot his White Scars a quick glare when they won't stop snickering like gossiping old ladies. He's not THAT old.

Roboute has a certain preference for the garbs of his home planet, togas and tunics. Sadly, not all planets have the climate for these to be worn comfortably so Roboute has been forced to wear more standard Imperial clothing for a while now. He hadn't realized his child had only ever seen him in these kinds of clothes until one day, when he finally puts on a toga, they stare at him for a few seconds before going "Are we poor?" Poor Roboute doesn't know what to say at first. The Ultramarines in the room are not meeting his gaze, desperately looking away so not to burst out laughing. He desperately tries to explain his heritage and the quality of the cloth to his child who really does not appear to get it.

I LOVE YOU, BUT I HATE IT WHEN...

synopsis: a scenario where you decided to do the "i love you, but i hate it when..." trend with enhypen!

paring: enhypen!boyfriend x reader

word count: 2.9k+

notes: crack, fluff, exaggerated reactions, bickering, arguing, petnames, lmk if i missed anything...

author's note: apparently, this trend is all over my tiktok fyp and i suddenly thought of writing for the members. enjoy!

HEESEUNG

you were both lying on the bed, heeseung completely absorbed in his game while you were scrolling through your phone.

a trending video popped up on your fyp, and you got the perfect idea of making hee do it with you.

"love, let's do this..." you shifted closer, shoving your phone in his face.

"wait... no, no..." he muttered, not even glancing your way.

"LOVE!" you yelled, and that’s when he finally turned to you, blinking as if he just noticed you.

"yep?" he asked, acting like he hadn't just ignored you for the past 2 minutes.

"seriously?" you said with a heavy sigh. he just shrugged and turned back to his game, the word "defeat" flashing on his screen.

"what was it about?" he asked, putting his phone down and finally looking at you.

you repeated, "i said, let’s do this!" showing him the video.

he glanced at the screen for two seconds, then shook his head.

"we ain't doing that."

you raised an eyebrow, making it clear there was no room for arguments.

"who goes first?" he asked, sighing dramatically.

"you go first. i’m giving you the spotlight," you said, smirking.

he rolled his eyes but couldn’t help chuckling. "i love you, but i hate it when you always try to make conversation while i’m playing my game, and then expect me to comprehend and react to whatever you just showed me after playing it once."

your eyes widen as you look at him in disbelief, your jaw almost dropping.

"what about earlier?! so, you hated me deep inside when i was shoving the phone in front of you?!" you shouted, crossing your arms.

he laughed even harder to the point that it echoed across the room.

"i’m just kidding, love!" he said, reaching out to pull you close.

"no, that’s it. we’re done." you said dramatically, tossing a pillow at him before stomping towards the door.

as you reached the door, you paused, turned back, and glared.

"i hate it when you always act like you’re busy with your game, but i know you’re just avoiding me!"

heeseung doubled over, practically dying of laughter as you walked out of the room.

JONGSEONG

"do i go first or you go first?" you asked jay, and he spun his gaming chair before giving you an answer.

"ladies first," he said with an exaggerated tone, making you chuckle.

"alright, i love you, but i hate it when i am busy with my game and you always tell me to go to sleep just because you're gonna sleep," you said, waiting for his reaction.

his lips immediately curved into a playful smile, feeling guilty.

"what can i do? i love being around you," he said, but you just laughed.

"alright, your turn," you said. he raised his brows.

"you're done?" he asked, to which you nodded quickly.

"okay..." he trailed off, squinting his eyes as if trying to list all the things he hated about you in his mind.

"i love you, but i hate it whenever we go out on a date, and if i ask you what you want to order, you'll say 'anything,' but then when i order anything, you'll ask me why i ordered it" he said with full emotion, and you just laughed.

just as you were about to take your turn...

"i love you, but i hate it when you always force me to choose between two things you like, then get upset when i pick the one you like less."

"i love you, but i hate it when you ask for my opinion about something, but when i answer, you always look at me like i'm giving you a lecture!"

"i love you, but i hate it when—"

"stooOooppp!" you said, placing your index finger on his lips to stop him.

"are we still playing, or are you completely ranting?" you asked, making him laugh as he pulled you to sit on his lap.

"what did i do?" he asked, gently squeezing your thigh.

"we were supposed to take turns!!" you said, smacking his chest.

"oh, is that it? welp... my bad," he said, and you both laughed.

JAEYUN

jake ran towards the living room; he grabbed a pillow and pulled it over his face like he was trying to hide.

"are you just gonna sit there and avoid me all day?" you asked, tugging the pillow from his face.

"babe, i swear, you're just going to come up with something that'll make us argue again," he mumbled from behind the pillow.

"no we're not," you replied as you continued to tug the pillow, but he held on like his entire life depended on it.

"no way!" he said, shaking his head dramatically.

with that, you keep pestering him, and after a few minutes of wrestling for the pillow, jake finally sighed.

"FINE!" he said in defeat, throwing the pillow aside with all exaggeration.

sitting up straight, he looked at you and started, "i hate you, but—"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HATE ME?!" you exclaimed, immediately smacking him with the pillow.

"i said you have to say 'i love you' first before saying what you hate about me!"

jake burst out laughing, holding his stomach. "alright, alright."

he reached for your hand, still giggling uncontrollably. "take two!"

you shake your head, biting your lower lip to keep yourself from laughing. "you're impossible."

jake cleared his throat before he began, "i love you, but i hate it when you always come up with something that makes us argue in the end..."

he leaned forward dramatically before continuing, "you would always ask stupid hypothetical questions like, 'what if i'm not your girlfriend, who would be your girlfriend this time?' then if i gave you an answer, you would get mad, and i would always end up apologizing for something you made up!"

you burst out laughing, hitting him repeatedly with a pillow because you knew he was right.

"no, i don't!"

"YES YOU DO!"

"why does it feel like you've been keeping that ever since?" you asked, almost out of breath because of how exaggerated his reaction was.

he held his chest; his expression was so serious, making you laugh harder. "I DO!" he shouted dramatically, earning another pillow smack.

"shut up!" you said, covering his mouth with your hand as you giggled.

jake laughed into your palm, grabbing your wrist and gently pulling it away. "love, let's not do this..." he begged.

you were shaking with laughter, unable to get over how he put his all into ranting.

"i love you," you said, stealing a kiss from his lips.

"i love you more," he replied, pulling you into his embrace.

"so we're going to do this challenge called 'i love you, but i hate it when...' so basically we'll tell each other i love you first before you tell them what you hate about them."

SUNGHOON

you explained while looking at sunghoon who was staring at the floor in the bedroom.

"babe," you said, swaying your hand in front of his face, then he made his eyes bigger before turning to you.

you frowned, watching him do weird stuff. you were already used to this mood of his, but sometimes, you couldn't help but feel like he was overacting.

"are you still with me?" you asked, and he nodded his head without a word.

"alright... then, i'll go first..." you trailed off, unsure if it was really the right thing to do.

"i love you, but i hate it whenever i ask you to come with me for a grocery or something, then you'll give me an answer 'if you want me to.' bro????" you said, looking at him, feeling a little bit embarrassed because he was just staring at you.

"why aren't you saying anything?! this isn't a 'we listen and we don't judge' challenge!!!" you dramatically said, shaking him, but he just laughed.

"but babe, that's the point. if you want me to come, then i'll come. if you don't, then i won't," he defended.

"that's not the point because if i'm asking you to come, it means i want you to come. do not give me an 'either-or' answer" you tried to argue, but there's no point in arguing with him... he only nodded his head like you said nothing.

"i love you, but i hate it when you leave your stuff unorganized. you always tell me they have their own places, but why do i always see them scattered all over the place? plusss everytime you're getting ready for an occasion and you’re rummaging through your closet, trying out different outfits... you always leave everything on the bed without putting them back, and i always end up cleaning everything!" he says, his voice rising slightly for joke purposes, and you laughed out loud, feeling guilty.

"alright, alright...you win..." you said because you knew how much of a clean freak he was, and that was really an irk for him.

but then you noticed him staring at you again, completely silent, like he didn’t know what to do next.

"what? why are you staring at me like that?" you asked, trying not to laugh. but the longer he stared, the harder it was to hold it in.

finally, you broke out into a laughter, holding your stomach as he blinked at you.

"you're so weird, babe!" you said between laughs, as you smack his arm, but he just shrugged.

"you're the one laughing, though," he mumbled, which only made you laugh harder.

"what is it this time?" he asked, putting his phone down as you opened the door fully and walked in.

SUNOO

"the ‘i love you, but i hate it when’ challenge!" you said, grinning playfully.

he squinted his eyes at you, clearly suspicious. "you’re asking me to say all the things i hate about you?"

"exactly!" you said with a firm nod.

"i don’t hate anything about you," he replied flatly, shrugging.

you blinked at him, narrowing your eyes. "i know you’ve got a lot up your sleeves! don’t lie to my face."

he burst out laughing, leaning back against the headboard. "well... i guess i do," he admitted, a playful grin spreading across his face.

you gasped dramatically, sitting beside him. "spill!"

sunoo held his chin thoughtfully before finally speaking. "okay, i love you, but i hate it when you use my skincare products and leave them in the bathroom instead of putting them back in the fridge."

"that’s because i’m always running late!" you defended, but he immediately shook his head in disapproval.

"nope, that’s not an excuse! do you know how many times i’ve had to rescue my toner from dying of heatstroke?!" he exclaimed dramatically, his eyes widening like you’d committed a major crime.

you couldn’t hold back your laughter, gently smacking his thigh.

"alright, my turn!" you declared. "i love you, but i hate it when you open snacks, eat a few bites, and leave them on the table without even wrapping them up!"

sunoo immediately shook his head in denial. "no, i have an explanation for that!"

"no excuses!" you said, placing your index finger over his lips.

"this isn’t a ‘we listen and don’t judge’ challenge," he grumbled, rolling his eyes.

"i love you, but i hate it when i find your lashes literally everywhere—on the sink, the table, the couch, even on my skincare bottles!" he exclaimed, looking at you as if you’d committed another grave offense.

you doubled over laughing. "they have their own life!" you teased.

he sighed, shaking his head while giving you a judging look. "be thankful that i love you."

"then, thank you," you teased back, earning a light smack with a pillow as he joined in your laughter.

jungwon groaned as he sat up straight on the couch. "i can't believe i'm doing this again," he muttered, clearly frustrated, but you couldn't care less.

JUNGWON

"come on, don't act like i always force you to do things..." you said, tugging on his arm.

he looked at you for three good seconds before he sighed in defeat and turned to face you.

"i love you, but i hate it when you always tell me what to do when i'm literally doing the chore. i was standing there, doing the thing, and you show up like a supervisor and then tell me, 'wash the dishes.' i am literally washing the dishes!" he said, his voice dripping with frustration.

you laughed, looking at him. "well, i've got to check if you're doing things right!"

he furrowed his eyes at you as if it offended him personally. "checking? you really call that checking?! it makes me want to throw all the plates away..." he muttered under his breath, half-joking.

"i love you, but i hate it when you always ask me where your missing things are, then i'll answer you, but when it's my turn to ask if you've seen my stuff, you scold me instead?! i mean how does it connect to the question, have you seen my stuff?"

you covered your mouth laughing uncontrollably at his statement.

"because you always forget where you put your stuff!" you shot back, your jaw almost locking because of how much you laugh.

"but let me ask you what does it have to do with the question where? have you seen my stuff? then you'll answer, that's what happens when you're not paying attention, baby??? it doesn't add up!" he argued, and you couldn't stop laughing. you didn't know if you were still playing or if he was addressing all his rants.

"alright! alright! it's my turn!" you said, covering his lips when he tried to open his mouth to add something more.

"i love you, but i hate it when i ask you a simple favor, like making a small decision, and you just give me that 'whatever' answer!" you shot back, raising your eyebrow.

"it's your fault. you're the one who can never make up your mind," he argued, shrugging his shoulder while giggling.

"that's not the point. i need you to make decisions; it doesn't matter which one you choose; i just want you to decide!" you exclaimed, and then he laughed, nodding his head.

"i love you, but i hate it when you ask me if i'm mad, and when i say no, you keep pushing me as if you're trying to say that i am really mad when in fact i am not!" he said.

"wait, it's still my turn! cheater!!!" you said, hitting him with a pillow, but he immediately dodged it, pulling your wrist, which made you land on his chest.

"alright, but i love you though," he said, planting a kiss on your temple.

"whatever you say, i'm still right." you said leaning on his embrace.

"fine, but you have to buy me some nuggets later," he said, wrapping his arms around you.

ni-ki groaned, his fingers hovering on his mechanical keyboard, his headphones securely on. "no, no... there's one in the bush... yes, wait for me..." he said, too immersed in his game, communicating with his teammates through his mic.

RIKI

"babe," you tugged his hoodie again for the nth time, but this time more insistently.

"riki!" you repeated, but he didn't even flinch.

"baby, let's do it later... please, i'm still on the game..." he said with his low-toned voice; his eyes were pleading.

you raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms. "so the game is more important than me now?" you asked, your voice dripping with irritation.

you walked back to the bed with a huff, feeling neglected for what felt like an eternity.

with a sigh, ni-ki finally took off his headphones, putting them down on his desk.

he walked over to where you were lying on the bed, flopping down beside you.

"fine, let's do it now," he said, pulling your wrist, but you pouted.

"no, i don't want it if it's forced," you said, but he just chuckled.

"i love you, but i hate when you act like you're so grown up, but then you throw a tantrum when i don't give you enough attention," you said, your brows furrowed.

"what are you talking about? that's what you're literally doing to me right now," he shot back, making you laugh.

"i love you, but i hate it when you act all mature like that, but you're just as childish as me." he shot back, staring at you.

"no, i am not. i love you, but i hate it when you always act like you don't need help but then get upset when i don't offer it," you replied back, your eyes narrowing.

"i don't really need help, though! i just want you to offer!" he defended.

"then why are you upset? that's not fair!" you shot back.

"because it's the thought that counts!" he said dramatically, making you laugh.

"i love you, but i hate it when you always think that i need you to take care of me 24/7, but i want to do things on my own tooo. stop treating me like a kid" he complained, his voice calm but laced with sulk.

"but you are a kid!" you teased.

"no, i am not. i'm a grown-up man; you're the one being unfair here," he said, flicking your forehead.

"i love you, but i hate it when you never pick up your phone when i call, but the moment i stop calling, you text me with 'i miss you' like???" you said, narrowing your eyes at him, and he laughed.

"when did i ever do that? i always answer your calls!" he said in denial.

"you always do thattt!" you exclaimed, and he finally pulls you into his arms.

"alright, you got me there," he sighs, finally raising the white flag.

Yay! I got tagged in something! Ok, so I need to share something I haven't talked about/ reblogged stuff for on my Tumblr. Most of my interests have some stuff on there but my newest obsessions do not and those or Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. Those aren't nearly niche fandoms, but I haven't got around to posting about them yet, but I've got stuff planned! I'm currently making a shipping meme blog thing for Helluva and plan to do an unpopular opinions blog on either both shows together or sparately (A little scared about it tho. People won't like the Octavia rant.) I don't feel comfortable tagging anyone soz.

TAG GAME!

What’s one interest/hobby/thing you like that you have NEVER talked about on your blog before?

It can be anything from a whole ass fandom to just a little thing that makes you smile but it CAN’T be anything that you’ve mentioned before.

I’ll go first:

This week, I can’t seem to get enough of the Album “For Emma, Forever ago” by Bon Iver. It’s just such a lovely album and great when I’m feeling overstimulated. It seems to be really heralding the late autumnal vibes for me, and I love to put it on while I’m working or tidying or drawing or out for a walk.

The lore of this album is that he got dumped so went to a cabin in the woods somewhere in Wyoming with a guitar and a shitload of alcohol and some rudimentary recording equipment and created one of the best-sounding albums I’ve heard in a while. He’s got a very distinct voice. I like Bon Iver’s other stuff but this one is my favourite right now.

What about you guys?

[risingsunresistance]

sorry him saying he has no idea where the misogyny thing comes from when ludwig just talked about how he sent him a big apology for calling his friend a whore when it was about THE WRONG WOMAN is funny as fuck

i dont think he realizes that the reason no one gives a shit about his apologies and honestly just straight up ignores them is because EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT THEY ARE TRUE he's been proven to lie soooooo many times to the point where you really cant believe a word that comes out of his mouth. he says something and im like "damn maybe i was wrong about that one... i'll look into it" and you get more info and go "oh. he just made that part up. and misworded that. and lied about that part... oh it was actually WORSE than i initially thought!"

[bunybunn]

Alright the drama continues and somehow it got worse. I'm glad I found a transcript of Dream's video on twitter (by @/NORsevvy here it is if anyone wants to read it) and I want to annalise it a little because I can.

Let's start with the part where he apologised for r-word and if you think about if he did that right after he posted that stupid meme we wouldn't have this drama but that wouldn't be his style.

What icked me immediately what the way he used Tubbo's stream as if through all of it he was agreeing with Dream. Especially since Tubbo actually shared very similar sentiment to Tommy when he talk about how, sure he does agree with the dumb jokes their friends group makes but he still stands by them. Besides using Tubbo as a gotcha didn't sit right with me because let's be honest as much as he is one of Tommy's best mates so is Jack and that guy wasn't as nice when it came to Dream.

After that Dreams moves to Tommy talking about Dream and his friend group being sexist and immediately he skips over the context, which in this case was the George situation and no matter how you saw it they way they talk about the situation by immediately downplaying the accusations didn't make them look good. To add to the irony we learned thanks to Ludwig that, yeah actually Dream did called two different women "whore" and only defended (and not apologise mind you) himself about one of those.

Something that I found interesting is how Dream has tendency to got on the sarcastic rants about "what if there were bad rumours/jokes about you Tommy" as if that was actual genuine argument. All of this only to then to hold the fact Tommy interacted with Dream's friends after the accusations. All of this to then pull the Logan Paul messages to prove how insincere Tommy is... As if it wasn't a case of him losing respect to content creator he looked up.

Another funny bit in my personal opinion is how he showed clip of Tommy say Dream was holding his help over his head and Dream immediately proceeded to do just that by pointing out how they called for hours talking about YouTube with no exceptions(!!! 😮😮😮) and how Tommy at the age of 16 was grateful for it. He is trying very hard to make it seems like the good guy but just by looking at the way he puts is as arguments why Tommy couldn't criticise him or express how Dream made him feel back then very much is giving holding his kindness over other people's head. What makes it worse is the way he takes Tommy owning the fact that he was one of the people who were behind the success of the dream smp because he was the one who started the idea of making stream that have roleplay and plot. Having Dream use it as another gotcha to call Tommy egoistic for it was very dishonest.

Then you have the merch part of the argument and I will be so real there is no argument that wouldn't make selling yours baby photos to fans sound fucking weird. Funny enough Tommy never mentioned Dream's merch company scamming people he simply shared an opinion that he thinks Dream's merch designs are lazy. Additionally notice how Dream took Tommy's words out of context as he was comparing his work on writing a book, doing standup the legit way not relying on his internet popularity and making a proper podcast to Dream just putting out simple standard merch and using very weird ideas to make profits from it. Tommy has been growing and trying new things which yeah I would say are bit more impressive then making the exact same type of videos for years. Perhaps that's why Dream didn't like the video where Tommy was talking about how Internet in fact got worse because that's the Internet Dream is enjoying being stuck in.

Dream still not getting that massaging someone's mom is crossing a boundar despite being told that that's the case by more then one person feels so dishonest especially when he is framing it as if every one are unreasonable... He brought fucking c!Dream reference to prove it and one more clip of younger Tommy praising him as if that somehow made his point more valid.

All that to say that what Tommy felt about the way Dream treated him and how he acted was somehow not as valid as Dream using his response to do a very similar thing. There was a lot of me, me, me in Dream's video without even acknowledging that perhaps he was making other people dislike him with his own actions.

UHH throwback to the gravity falls thing tell me ALL about your favorite character. EVERYTHING. what you hate about them, what you like. ect, go on a rant i love learning about the critters [personally my favorites old man mcgucket, more specifically post portal]

OH JOY GRAVITY FALLS!

I fear i must say i haven't thought or talked about gf for a good while, i might not remember a lot as i used to.

But my favorite character is Fiddleford Mcgucket, and that's through out his whole time on the show. To his college days, all the way to him being old man mcgucket. I fear i love anxious characters too much, the "sorry" photo of him explaining his first day in college literally made me tear up. he has such a big heart, all the gifts he gave to ford cause he knew he needed a "friend". BUT he also sucks cause of what he did to emma-may, and is just a canonically bad father. But he's also a deeply tragic character with what he went through, what ford did and what he did to himself. HE ALSO MADE A CULT, like idk why i keep forgetting that fact but like that's so crazy. In show old man mcgucket is just my fav joke character too, he has to many lines that are now just a stim of mine "mcsuck it... they got me good.....". then the happy ending he got but we don't see, yeah he got rich and a big house he can ghost hunt with his son. but he has so much recovery to do, to remember, like i LOVE fanart of post show mcgucket and their takes on him. i just know that it's not that easy to recover so i don't expect for him to look like ford, basically same as 30s him but gray hair.

i had a fiddleford animatic i was working on but i fear at the rate im going, im not going to finish it... SO im going to give the whole first draft animatic i have for it so far. I can always say "maybe maybe maybe!" but with where my life is going i just don't have that much time or focus.

historiography- the mountain goats

[officeobject]

Okay but in my mind, all I can see is my office-working window friend, like, making and showing this to their coworkers, in the hypothetical situation of me becoming an intern there (they wouldn't need to though, because I think that their favoritism will even shine through their love of office working properly - like, they're already seemingly defending me who's some goofy person looking in when things are none of my business, and CLEARLY more comfortable and open and all, around me, adjusting so I can see them, became comfortable enough to even SNEEZE in my direction - which, yes, looked purposeful instead of just some quick decision - and just enjoy watching me do whatever, so I can pretty much get away with doing nothing a lot, I think, so, like, might as well).

Also I really appreciate being able to make uninterrupted rants/vents, even if most people won't understand them, or if I turn the subject to be about me, etc, although the notifications are probably off, so the person who posted it originally, probably isn't seeing this, but I enjoy just being able to talk about whatever.

Reasonable Adjustments for Autistic People at Work

Neurodivergent Lou

[mstowel]

this is a lot of posts for me in 24 hours, but there are a couple things i saw/experienced at the show in relation to audience & stage door behavior that i think is important to know to discourage that behavior. this is gonna be super long, so bear with me <3

tldr: be quiet during shows & be respectful to those around u at stage door

first the audience behavior. i was sat behind two people who i have had the unfortunate luck of sitting behind at an earlier show a few weeks ago. so this doesnt go for all audience members, but i have heard other situations like this as well. the ENTIRE show, they were lip syncing to the songs and dancing (which ok worse things have happened, but it was incredibly distracting for the people around me, who kept complaining about their behavior). they also were literally quoting the scenes out loud. like, would say the character's lines before the actor even said it themselves. it was actually insane? like fully ruining scenes and moments in the show, because they clearly wanted people around them to know they had seen the show before. behavior like that is just rude and incosiderate. if u wanna sing along and act out the dialogue, maybe stay home and watch a bootleg? people paid a LOT of money to see the actors perform, not random audience members. it was really frustrating to a lot of people sitting around me, and to me as well. so just dont do that maybe?

for stage door behavior, im gonna name one person (bc multiple ppl have had issues with them), but leave the other two unnamed because i dont think anyone needs to receive unnecessary hate. there were a few people at stage door who werent at the show, and i understand that that happens all the time and u cant really do anything about it! but it was people who often brag and post about going only to the stage door without seeing the show and take up a few spots at the front. like....this is not the first time they've done this, and also they were maybe involved in a certain dming and food situation from a while ago if u guys remember that....so. no hate to them, free will and all, you can do what you want. but like, the repeat offending of constantly stage dooring without seeing the show is wild to me.

for the named person, broadwaypolaroids needs to chill tf out. i know multiple ppl who have had issues with her, and i never really cared to think about her until the last few times i have stage doored (all of which she has been at) where she is just so disrespectful not only to the actors, but the other fans who were at the show waiting to talk to the actors. she was fully interrupting fans conversations with certain actors to make the actors take at lesat 3 or 4 photos on her dumbass camera. she also was fully blocking the way for actors to leave and forcing them into stopping to take pictures. also insane that she charges money for these pictures and i think more people need to be talking about it, but maybe thats just me. i also one night saw her be rude to security because trevor (who was on as pony that show) didnt sign playbills in the section she was standing in. mind u trevor was outside for lile 15 minutes really taking his time with the fans. she went up to security and basically demanded they get trevor to come back outside. it was literally one of the more insane things i have ever witnessed. anyways, that turned into a rant. but the behavior from her last night was seriously not cool and shes just a rude person from what i have seen.

anways! lets remember to be considerate and respectful of those around us, both at the show and afterwards. everyone is there for the reason of enjoying the show and maybe getting to compliment the actors' performances after. so just be quiet during shows and be kind to those around u, in seats and at stage door. its truly not that hard. ok bye! <3

Good Example Of What I Mean

**Spoilers For Arcane**

Okay. So, regarding my recent ranting on the topic of people making baseless arguments and by extension my harping on them, this is what I mean. And for the record, I'm not new to the internet. this sort of idiocy is far from cutting edge trolling. I know that. But as we are all here routinely in this space devoted to this story, I saw this earlier this morning and it happened to be a great example of what I posted last night.

First of all, I am not re-blogging the person who had posted it with sincerity because I broke my own rule and responded to an Arcane Critical post last night and woke up to 20+ comments this morning. That's on me. But I will say I am not mentioning this just because of one stupid meme. I have seen some variety of this statement countless ways:

"Caitlyn suffers for the first time and loses her mom and everyone acts like its an excuse to hurt all of Zaun".

This kind of thing right here is exactly what I mean when I say some of yall are just flat wrong. I can't tell if it is intentional or not, because you quite literally have to ignore massive chunks of the show to believe something like this, but at the end of the day when I say some takes are not worthy of discussion this is what I mean.

By the way, this isn't even about our man Silco here. I can't read enough to tell if anything in that box is real words or not but he has lived forty something years of history in this world. You better believe his box would be full. Because here's the thing. It isn't about agreeing or disagreeing with his reasons. It's about recognizing that he has them. THAT is consuming this story in a way that is worthy of respect and discussion.

But this?:

Survives being lured by child's voice to building fire by Jinx that kills six other enforcers

Almost killed by Jinx on bridge where Vi is also almost killed

Taken hostage nude in her child-hood home, forced to dress in Enforcer clothing and bound and gagged while Jinx tries to convince Vi to murder Caitlyn

Spares Jinx at Vi's request

Jinx smashes Caitlyn with gun and kills Caitlyn's mother, 2 other councilors, and blows up building

Attack squad of Zaunites crashes memorial killing several including almost Caitlyn and Vi

They know Jinx has weaponized hex-tech and has proven a threat

Comes up with plan for strike team after Vi (not blaming her she was right just pointing out) tells her they have to find a way to stop the invasion of Zaun.

Survives brutal fight with Sevika, saves Vi from Isha (presumably, we don't know if Isha would have shot), and after she held the shot for Vi the first time, Vi swore she was ready to end it this time, Vi blocks her shot. (Vi was right and Caitlyn was in complete mental health spiral, just giving some perspective).

After all that an incredibly talented manipulating warmonger takes over and that's all she wrote.

And of course that is to say nothing of the fact that the people I'm irritated with completely leave out the concept of Caitlyn's grief and trauma when considering her actions and story at all. Ignoring it in your consideration I can agree to label as ignorance. Disregarding it because you think the fact that she comes from privilege means she is unaffected by extreme traumatic violence and loss, or worse undeserving of recognition and care from it, that I'm afraid is a question of humanity.

As I have stated before none of this is to say I expect anyone to agree with everything or even anything Caitlyn did. She is a complex character and her decisions in many cases are SUPPOSED to be hard/impossible to accept. The way we each connect to these characters and this world is what makes it special. But stuff like this? You can do better.

[thecosmiccrow]

ok im boutta yap about something for a bit because i feel theres a lot of misunderstanding surrounding some of the stuff that i do, so i wanna talk about it and explain some reasoning

NOT nsfw but if you want to avoid the topic of casual / nonsexual nudity, thats what im talking about here. LOT of rambling about stuff that does not matter.

So like, of course I know Reddit, Twitter, Pinterest, and TikTok comments are a cesspool. They suck, and I know they do. However, despite that, I feel like people wayyyyy overreact to the kind of stuff I make / post.

The problem is, everyone sees it as sexual or scandalous or whatever. Just when I draw the robots without clothes. They have no genitals, technically nothing to hide, but people screech and shriek whenever I draw em like this.

For example:

(#4 is literally a scar reference so anyone getting mad over that is stupid, thankfully people were chill on the bottom two)

Peopl had a hissy fit over the first two pictures, the little comic I made. They got upset over the robots not wearing clothes.

And I’m sitting here like. What kind of puritan-ass sanitized view do these people have of the world.

Because I do this. I sleep without clothes (bc sensory issues) and will sometimes walk around my own home like that. Who the hell cares. It is literally just my body.

I think that because I’m so used to just casually seeing / experiencing it that I don’t find it as big of a deal as other people seem to. That’s why I include it in a decent amount of art, because I literally just see it as a part of life and not too big of a thing. People have bodies. Everyone does.

I have N and Uzi clothesless in the comic because they like sleeping like that, and feeling each other’s warmth and presence without the fabrics in the way. Nyx does it sometimes too, for sensory issues, like me, though a lot less commonly than I do. In that third picture, she’s upset and has shrugged her clothes off because she’s in a bad mental state and the feeling of them on her body is overstimulating for her. That fourth is a reference sheet, so I hope that doesn’t require much explanation.

There’s also the fact that I just like drawing their anatomy. I’ve spent enough time drawing drone bodies to become more accustomed to it than any other kind, and sometimes I get sad having to cover up nice anatomy. So I’ll just do a change of plans sometimes to be able to show off the anatomy that I actually like, which was especially the case for THIS:

this was originally just me drawing them in this reference pose, because I just wanted to draw cute Nuzi art and needed ideas. I liked the anatomy enough to just not draw them with clothes on, even if that was the original intention. Because I LIKE drawing their anatomy and I also like showing off their scars. They’re in a suggestive pose, I get it. From my POV though, it literally just looks like she’s about to lean in and kiss him. Scandalous.

anyways. i probably forgot a few things. stupid rant over, if you have questions i’ll try and answer em or whatever

[moonysmoothies]

the shadowhunters show is so wild to me for so many reasons but ones of them is that i am so baffled by how they manage to hit most of the major story beats of the books and yet mess them up SO BADLY?

here's every major fuck up i can remember in chronological order because i feel like ranting

they go to the silent city but instead of finding out about magnus's block on her memory, they find out that valentine is clary's father through a conversation that she overheard between luke and her mother

simon is kidnapped by the vampires on purpose instead of accidentally because they want the mortal cup from clary since it can control demons, which is the stupidest thing ever because raziel gave jonathan shadowhunter the cup so that he could make more shadowhunters with the objective to kill demons, not control them

oh and they're not allowed to use the cup to make more shadowhunters, so mundanes can't ascend (do none of them have the sight?) and the cup has no purpose other than to sit there and look pretty

all of them were in on rescuing simon, not just jace and clary and the wolves are not there at all, but for some reason camille is and has a weirdly sexual relationship with simon

they go see magnus to get clary's memories back and they end up having to give up their memories like they did with azazel except it's to this random demon who magnus gave clary's memories to for the plot but then clary kills the demon so she never gets her memories back

instead of getting the cup from madame dorothea, they sneak into a police station to get it while luke is being questioned for MURDER

simon is turned into a vampire except it turns into this whole uprising where everyone turns against camille and it's this whole moral dilemma for clary

they still find out clary and jace are related while at renwick's except the scene is just very different and valentine had been glamoured to look like michael wayland this whole time because there's a shapeshifting rune now!

jace goes with valentine at the end of season one

they wake up jocelyn at the end of season one and she fully believes that jace is her child and tries to kill him

also jace finds out that he "has demon blood" at the very beginning of season two while on valentine's ship from valentine himself

he is imprisoned in the silent city and the attack on the silent brothers happens while he is there, but he is also put on trial and for some reason it is more about his feelings for clary than about his actual "crimes" (which was just being basically forced onto a ship with valentine in order to save his friends from being murdered)

instead of imogen herondale distrusting jace it's a weird british dude, also maryse just straight up equates jace to a cancer that they need to kill and didn't just tell him to leave the institute in an attempt to protect him from the inquisitor like she did in the books

the weird british dude gives izzy yin fen, except its made from vampire venom and not demon poison in what is the worst storyline to ever exist and is basically just shadow world heroin (not a tmi major plot point but i literally cannot not mention how much i fucking hate this storyline)

izzy and clary visit the iron sisters to find out why valentine wanted the mortal sword where they find out that if an angelic being and a bolt of lightning touch it then it will be able to emit a heavenly light that can kill anyone with demon blood (raziel really had no faith in these guys)

they actually imprison valentine and are just using a rune to torture him (idk why they had a rune to torture people considering that all of their runes were given to them by raziel and i don't know if he wanted them torturing each other? also i looked up the rune on the shadowhunter books wiki and it was the super powerful healing rune that clary used on jace in cohf - kind of the opposite of torture)

clary and jace find out they're not related halfway through season two (not entirely objecting to this but it did mean a full climon relationship)

they still go to the seelie court, except it's just simon, jace, and clary and the seelie queen makes jace and clary kiss in order to show simon that shadowhunters always choose "their own kind" over anyone else because she's obsessed with him and his daylighterness

sebastian still attacks max because max tracked him with a single hair from the bottom of the baby jc box except max survives (not really objecting to this either because max was so sweet but like what was the reason for changing this!!)

ok, time to go into the jace + sebastian fight - instead of jace goading sebastian into a fight by making him realize that valentine will find out that sebastian just killed him in cold blood and didn't give him a fair fight and then hate him for it, not by just making him really angry - jace literally passes out several times on the way to where they fight and sebastian just keeps dragging him along. this is just a little change that irks me so much because it shows a lot about their character imo. here, they have a fight on a random bridge where we get the line "care to find out who's the best jc once and for all" which should be considered a crime against humanity. izzy does intervene but she does not get to cut off sebastian's hand and then jace stabs sebastian in the special spot on the back and kicks him into the river, sebastian somehow survives long enough to float all the way to a beach and summon lilith

jace does get possessed by lilith except he's turning into a weird looking demon who possesses mundanes to kill their loved ones and serve lilith and not whatever the fuck was going on with him in cofa that was definitely not turning into a demon and possessing other people

jem is american

instead of maureen being maureen she's another person their age named heidi who forces simon to drink his sister's blood which leads to his mom throwing him out like she does in the books, and then heidi proceeds to try to take over the entire downworld until maia kills her in the same way she kills maureen in the books

clary gets the twinning rune instead of jace and instead of it being an instant thing clary is just slowly becoming more like sebastian except she's not and she still has free will which jace didn't really have in cols - they're more like equals instead of one having power over the other like in the books

instead of raziel giving them glorious because simon was like "if you don't i'll just use my mark of cain to annoy you for all of eternity" izzy has a woman in stem moment and remakes the sword herself with particles of glorious that she extracted from a serum that the weird british dude was using to turn downworlder prisoners into mundanes again in an illegal project

instead of having the two family swords made by wayland the smith, they have one sword that has the ability to open rifts into hell and release demons and getting that sword is sebastians goal for the season instead of making the endarkened

sebastian does have a relationship with the seelie queen but then he kills her

izzy gets the heavenly fire instead of jace even though clary was the one who was stabbed with glorious because izzy gets hit by shrapnel from the sword exploding

they still go to edom but it's to save magnus from lilith because she wants to start a war with him so she can go to earth and he's there because he's holding closed the rift the sebastian opened with the family sword

clary loses her memories instead of simon because making her own runes went against the will of the angels - especially the one that tied shadowhunters to downworlders even though that was literally what won the mortal war in the books

magnus and alec still temporarily break up except it's not because alec was trying to remove magnus's immortality (although they did have issues with that earlier in the season) it's so asmodeus will give magnus his magic back after taking it in exchange for giving magnus the power to free jace from lilith's possession

anyways that's everything i can remember - there's probably more

[gotham-daydreams]

Just an idea of mine while listening to like him by Tyler the creator, I cannot fathom just how much this is so relatable to not [] reader bro. So have a bit of a long rant/fic ig, this is up to your interpretation if it's not [] reader or just my version of reader from the not [] series.

(this is my first time writing so excuse me if it's a bit shabby)

Visiting your mother's grave was quite a moment for you, you remember when you would always visit her grave if you could when she just died, but then couldn't since you moved houses, to the Wayne house or manor I guess? ...but now as an independent adult, you can always go to her grave to mourn or just talk to her, just like how you did when she's alive.

Although you never really remember her much, since she died when you were in such a young age you still would remember her words... specifically, this one

"Damn, everytime I look at you i swear to God! " your mother exclaims, looking at you excitedly. She didn't really feel like all of her cursing would effect you negatively much if she just uses it lightly.

"You got his feet, you got his body, you got his long arms, fingers and shit, everything! "

Thinking about it now, do you really look like him?, I mean sure! Your his biological child, not that you wanted to be, there is a research about how the first child to be made largely takes the appearance of their father, but yet again... You were just fine with your mother, plus, everything worked out without him. Before your mother died at least..

Sitting in front of your Mother's grave you think about it, looking at her grave fondly yet there's a glint in your eyes that shows just how pained you are to lose her. Maybe you would've had a different life if she had lived, one that didn't include you having to be so over achieveing just for a sliver of attention from your "family" that clearly didn't care for you.

It was a pretty cloudy day, a bit cold you admit, you should've wear a coat or a jacket before visiting here at least... It feels a bit colder knowing you feel like your being watched somewhere..

"You gave me love.... And affection, attention, protection"

"So how could I ever miss something, that I never had? "

"I would never judge ya, cause everything worked out without him.. "

You never really experienced what it is to feel loved by a father since you already had your mothers love at the time. But she still felt guilty knowing you didn't experience a fathers love, well, you didn't really experienced it either when moving into the Wayne manor..., maybe Alfred is the fatherly love you've experience but technically he wasn't your father...

"Mama I'm chasing a ghost... "

He never really did gave attention to you, affection, protection, attention,love, none of those in all of your time living in that stupid manor, hell, even your supposedly sibling did too, even one of them wasn't all that pleased with your mere presence in this manor.

"I decided to really get that love inside you, I would never ever lie to you"

"You ain't never gotta lie to me, I'm every thing that I strive to be.. "

Music really is your aspiration, inspiration, everything... It's makes you let out all of your feelings to a song, makes you feel a bit better with yourself, its embarrassing to think that you've made a song for each of your "family" member once or twice, only for it to not ever be heard by them, but be heard by other people, strangers.

"So do I look like him? "

"I don't look like him... "

You prayed, hell, begged even, that you do not look like him, Bruce Wayne , god you wished you were not his child, it makes you feel disgusted that you look like your father, a man that never loved or care for you. Only seeing you as a mere obstacle, though you bet he ever see you as one, considering he's too busy forgetting about your mere presence.

"Please... For the love of God, don't tell me I look like him... "

(HOLY HELL THAT WAS LONG, so sorry about that, I just feel a deep appreciation for your writing, you never really talked about readers mother in the not [] series as far as I can remember, so I just made a tiny headcanon, about how reader is fond of their mother but doesn't remember much since she died when reader was at such a young age, maybe 4 or 5 years old, just like any other generic batfam fic, no Offense. I also added some things that are not on the song, as well as changing some of the lyrics, I hope you don't mind and enjoy my poopy writing!!!)

Oh. My. God!!!!

I absolutely love it!!! You can really feel the emotions put behind it, and having the song go through my head honestly really helped with it too! And your small piece really does show how it can relate to the reader in the Not [ ] Series a lot!! Even then it was an enjoyable read and I'm glad you decided to share it!

Sure, maybe it doesn't quite fit my own interpretation, but the fact it fits yours makes it so special and honestly love it so much more then if it fit my own. Besides! I like to leave things a little open so that you can cone up with your own things, just like this!!! The fact you made it just from my silly little fic really inspires me, thanks so much!!

For your first time writing, it isn't all that bad either! Changing some stuff around qas a great choice, and adds more to the narrative you were trying to make, which I actually really love! If you wrote more, even if just for fun and as a hobby, I'd love to see more of your work :]

Nevertheless, thanks for sending this in, and you didn't do so bad! 💛

hii. three am ramble, sorry, don't think too deep.

Thing is, Nikolai would take the rejection well.

It was inevitable, the day would come eventually. Nikolai has tried many times before, most of the time subtly with confessions disguised as a joke, sometimes a bolder move when it was just the two of them.

Price was very well aware of what had been going on, played into it in fact, but at the end of the day it wouldn't do. Price couldn't do it. There are many obstacles in their way, he tells himself. He can't fully commit to a relationship with a job like his, he can't be what Nikolai wants him to he -he tells himself even though Nikolai wants nothing to change and loves him for all he is- he tells himself Nikolai deserves someone better and he wholeheartedly believes that.

Nikolai is everything John Price is not. He's a good man. He'd be better off with someone else.

So one day it happens. Doesn't matter how, Nikolai lays it out flat. Price rejects him.

And Nikolai takes it surprisingly well. Doesn't show any dramatic reaction to it, nods with a faint smile although it doesn't reach his eyes, he just nods understandingly. Price hates it. He wishes Nikolai yelled instead. Something, anything. He wishes Nikolai called him what he is, a coward. A disappointed rant, an angry curse, anything. But it doesn't come. Nikolai, as he always have been, is understanding.

That is not to say he's not dying inside, no, he's destroyed. He should've known better. But he loves the man so much that it almost consumes him, so he had to say something. Try his chance, for once more.

Realistically, things would stay the same yeah? They are grown ups. They know each other the best. Nikolai would honor his decision and they'd move on. Keep working together for the greater good. That simple.

But I want Nikolai to be bitter for a moment. Allow himself to feel hurt. After all, years of pining after the same man, helplessly, and the same man returning your feelings yet being too scared to act on it.

So he deals with it in his own way. Price realizes it when he calls Nikolai in for a job and Nikolai sends one of his most trusted men instead of showing up himself. Or when there's an equipment delivery and it's a face Price hasn't seen before. Nikolai knows his men would get the job done. He's just not ready to face Price yet.

He's a bit of a mess, actually. His composure gone, a bit more irritated, a bit more careless with his life. Throws himself head first into action. Tries to keep himself busy. His patience has run a bit thinner, so instead of negotiating he doesn't see a problem in putting a bullet into someone's head. That sort of thing.

They'll eventually work it out and things will go back to normal. Nikolai would never abandon Captain Price. He's served him loyally for so many years, he's not about to change that.

But for that brief period of time, only the closest of his people know how Nikolai handles pain. John Price will never know who died or what broke as a result of it.

Head canon: Logan actually knows how to dance and he’s really good. He knows a bunch of different types too. He doesn’t tell anyone, not because he’s embarrassed, (he’d happily show Scott up if given the chance) it’s just he’s never wanted to dance at the same time as being around the others.

Most of the time when there a party with music worth dancing to it’s some special occasion. The music is normally slow like waltz or something and it’s just not his style.

Once he’s comfortable wherever he’s at, that be Worst Wolverine once he’s in Wades timeline, Origins Logan with Kayla, or original trilogy Logan once he’s happy being at the mansion, he go out.

On those nights where he stays out late he isn’t always spending them drinking. He finds himself a good bar with good music and a pretty lady (or guy if he’s feeling up for it) and takes to the dance floor.

None of the X-Men find out till they’re throwing Storm a birthday party and she asks him for a dance herself. He happily accepts and everyone is absolutely flabbergasted when they see him actually doing well.

I think with Worst Logan Laura knew because she found out from someone else that her Logan used to dance a lot before the accident and he went into hiding. During one of Wades parties she gets ahold of the ox cord and starts playing bachata or something like that. (She learned with the other kids after they got out from Transagin) Somehow she convinces Logan to dance with her and Wade accidentally flips his shit when he notices. It’s so extreme that he won’t shut up about it and drags Logan to a bar down the street that he clames all his Mexican friends say is great. (His only Mexican friend is Laura and a couple of the kids on the block she’s made friends with.)

Origins Logan I almost think met Kayla at some bar. It’s like one of those movie moments where he sees her dancing and he just can’t look away. One thing leads to another and what started as them dancing together on the weekends turned to him head over heels for her.

Another idea (I don’t actually know much about this one) but Patch/ Logan in Madrapor would totally dance Salsa or super dramatic Ball room. Something attention grabbing. Nobody assumes The Wolverine, Weapon X would be able let alone willing to dance. Ever. When the others find out about that part of his cover he says it’s just to make it harder for people to spot him. In reality Madrapor has insanely good live music and it would be a crime to not dance to it.

Anyway that’s the end of my rant. I’d actually love to see someone write a fic for this.

When I think of it as a whole, the plot is pretty much very obvious where it's going.

We have the Bone Carver in ACOWAR foreshadowing the corruption of the Cauldron when he said that some creatures manipulated it and it became a weapon of destruction, which shows that SJM had a plan from the start and just developed it gradually. Then Feyre observes how Azriel treats her sister and how he seems like the one for her. She even asks why he wasn’t chosen to be her mate,why Lucien? So Rhys explains that Elain can reject the bond and that sometimes bonds are created randomly, not meaning the two are soulmates or even good for each other. But Fae try to make it work believing the Cauldron chose them for a reason,so they end up miserable. That bowl was directly accused of having a distorted system, with its swirling eddies that wrongly match people solely for breeding purposes.

Rhys explained all that, but he wasn’t really taking it seriously. For him, Az is in love with Mor and must be asking himself why the bond hasn’t snapped between them. Also, Rhys in fact is bond biased.

During ACOWAR, we got major hints,like the rescue scene, Azriel discovering Elain is a seer while her so called mate thought she’d lost her mind, the Truth-Teller scene and from ACOWAR to ACOSF, Elain and Azriel were slowly getting closer. Meanwhile, she completely refuses to be with someone she doesn’t know, just because fate says so. That’s the main thing here, most Fae try to make the bond work even if they’re not truly interested in each other, just because the bond must have snapped for a reason. And that’s exactly what Lucien is trying to do, even though he knows Elain wants nothing to do with him ,he literally said so himself. And Elain is refusing these Fae beliefs, as she should.

Some people love to act like the bc is the only proof of the Cauldron being wrong, but no ,that was a huge plot established in the main books. They just love to ignore it. The bc was just a reminder of what Feyre already said in ACOWAR. Azriel basically repeated the same idea: he doubted the Cauldron’s mate matching system and said it could be wrong. His POV also proved that what people around him assume about him being completely in love with Mor and never moving on is wrong. And eventually, he was thinking about Elain being his mate. Not Mor. Not anyone else.

HOFAS revealed some very important things that developed the plot further, especially with Azriel’s presence. It confirmed the corruption of the Cauldron (remember, this was foreshadowed by the Bone Carver), explained a lot about the Daglan and how they exploited the Fae (which matters, since the Cauldron operates under their system), and Nesta saying Fae believe the Cauldron controls their fates was, for me, very important. Later, it was proved wrong when it was revealed that the Mother is the true governor of all worlds and the Weaver of Fate. She’s the real creator of bonds, which explains that the Cauldron is an imposter, copying the Mother’s work in a distorted way. So, long story short, the Cauldron is wrong. And that’s what Elain’s book will end up revealing. Elain is the one who has the power to change this situation, to change the fae wrong beliefs about the mating bond and how they treat the female as a belonging to her mate, Elain is the one who has the ability to fix the Cauldron.

But according to some people, all this long ass plot buildup is going to lead to us opening the next book and finding out that all the characters were hallucinating. The Cauldron isn’t wrong. The plot is that Elain will sell herself to Koschei, Lucien will save her, and she’ll decide to give him a chance, no longer caring about “love would trump even a mating bond.” She’ll just realize how much of a good male he is, fall in love with him, and beg him for forgiveness. A plot of poor Lulu my baby deserves the world

And Azriel? Oh, btw Gwyn is your mate.

Sarah, what about the whole plot you’ve been developing until HOFAS?

Who cares, I’m a fated mates author.

DISASTER TWINS ROTTMNT RANT :3

One thing I surprisingly really dislike about the rise canon is the fact that Donnie is most likely the medic of the group. He’s shown an interest in the field and even has experience seeing as he subcutaneously places trackers in his brothers sometime between the movie and the show. I suppose it makes sense that the smartest turtle, Donnie, would be the medic.

BUT the fanon interpretation is really just so much better!! There are so many reasons Leo being the medic of the group makes so much more sense. For one, engineering and medicine are two completely different fields of study!! Sure, maybe Donnie could dabble in both, but he’s far too skilled at engineering for me to believe he also does medicine on the side. I’d trust Mark Rober’s inventions and expertise with my life, but I would not let him perform surgery on me or give me a medical diagnosis.

It also gives Leo something to do other than be the face man! Yeah he takes great pride in it, but that surely can’t be all he was good for right? He has multiple smart moments in the show, I’m confident he’s fully able to learn complex things such as mutant turtle anatomy and how to fix it if anything goes wrong. He rewired Shelldon in his debut episode! Like I said, engineering and medicine are different, but you can’t be dumb if you can do that without any practice. It also gives his little satchel on his hip a purpose. Why is it there? Maybe a little first aid kit or something. The brothers have to get hurt a lot on their missions right?

It also adds another difference between rise and other tmnt iterations. Now take this with a grain of salt as I haven’t seen many other iterations, but i think the biggest thing is it differentiates it from 2012 even more. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never had a problem with 2012 Donnie being the medic of the group, but it doesn’t hurt to change things a little more realistically right? Yeah 2012 Leo was busy with older brother and leader responsibilities, but rise Leo wasn’t. And I think rise Leo is very capable of being the leader and the medic.

That is my essay on why I strongly believe the headcanon of Leo being the medic makes the most sense logically, more so than the probable canon. Thank you for reading <3
