… you know what i hate about some Disc Horse in this hellish site?
i have a very specific example of this happening on a large scale ~somewhere~ in the world right now, and it's been going on for… A While. Violently.
and yet, after writing what was on my mind about it, in a pointed and angry way (yes i've read a lot of Sir Pterry's work), alluding to the bullied becomming bullies themselves — then i felt the need to go back and add something to try and make clear i knew both sides of the story. which didn't excuse anything, because in a conflict where someone says "you're not human, i'll destroy you all", i don't know what the right course of action is, but *replying with the same attitude is NOT IT*. … and then i deleted the thing entirely, because i've been burned in that online battle, and i'm DONE with it.
i'm sure you know what i'm thinking of. and i'm fucking TIRED of it.
i'm fucking tired of the world at large refusing to be kind, and pushing that burden on individuals, and then criticizing said individuals for not doing enough, not saying enough, not *thinking* enough.
well, fuck them all. i'm done.
… i'll go sleep now, and in the morning, i'll think of sir pterry, and did he know? nope not that bc i sure hope he did not and of tiphany, and take all my anger and turn it into writing something full of that, and in the end, full of kindness.
… just to keep me away from the disc horse. bc that thing is dangerous. and it's not worth arguing details, when we know where the wrongness starts, and enryone is way past thinking about that simple fact.
For me this isn't even about empathy or sympathy (though there's value in those as well), it is just straight-up a human rights thing. Once you have decided that there is *any* category of human that can be treated as less-than-human you've said that humanity is conditional, and so are the rights that come with it. You've already lost, you've granted the fascists their point because *you agree with them* that some people don't deserve to be treated like humans.

Hey, can I request for Daniela Avanzini where Y/n is also a member of katseye and she’s dating dani (at this point they’re very popular) but Dani gets jealous because Y/n and Megan have been getting shipped a lot on tiktok and people make edits of them. Y/n gets a little annoyed bc she keeps telling Dani that obviously nothing is going on between her and Megan so she has nothing to worry about but Dani doesn’t wanna let it go.
I know it’s a lot lol but I love that you’re literally the only person writing katseye and I love your writing style. Thank you!
thank you so much for requesting this it was so fun! 🫶 im sorry it took a while 😓 and it lowkey went off the rails from the req im sorry

daniela avanzini x fem!reader
warnings/tags: angst/happy ending, jealous!daniela, language, 7th member!reader, established relationship, mini argument, not proofread
main masterlist | katseye masterlist
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
it wasn't hard for daniela to get jealous. she could get jealous at someone merely looking at you for a second too long. but those were with people she didn't know. you figured she wouldn't get jealous over something silly like fans shipping you with megan and edits being made of you two.
you were unfortunately wrong.
it's what causes the first real argument in your relationship. you and daniela started dating right after the end of dream academy and the lineup was announced, having feelings for each other during the whole survival show and actually officially dating once it was all over. and it was great. you debuted, you went to kcon, you went on a mini asia tour, and everything was great.
you obviously knew it was easy to get daniela jealous. after debuting and getting popular there would be some celebrities that would try to talk to you or hit on you and she would suddenly appear beside you to drag you off somewhere. but you didn't think she would get jealous because of one of the members who was most definitely not into you.
the fans had grown to like you and megan as a duo, a ship even with some of the edits you've seen on tiktok. to the point where you two were one of the more popular ships in the fandom. you thought it was silly, and you would occasionally giggle at the edits because you didn't take it seriously and you thought it wasn't serious enough to worry about. until daniela saw.
she knows she shouldn't get jealous over it to the point she's essentially ignoring you. but that's just how she is. she knows she can't officially say anything cause management would go ballistic and they'd probably go on hiatus. she knows megan doesn't see you that way. but that's just how she is.
you knew something was wrong when daniela started ignoring you. and that was hard for her, you both knew that. she couldn't stand being away from you, let alone ignore you for days on end leaving you wondering what you did to cause this. so you knew something was seriously wrong then.
the girls noticed it too. the tension that had suddenly grown was odd for them all watching dani ignore you while you would stare with sad eyes trying to figure out what happened. but they couldn't do anything. daniela wouldn't budge on telling anyone anything. so everyone was left in the dark while you had to deal with how to address it.
it was late at night when all the girls were asleep that you decided to confront her on it. she was in the living room reading one of her books when you left your shared room with sophia and yoonchae, which you weren't surprised about. her eyes flickered up from the book only to look back down a second later once seeing it was you.
you slowly approach the couch before sitting down at the edge of it, keeping a distance between you two which the blonde notices. you glance over at her, letting out a sigh before speaking. "can we talk?"
"about what?" daniela responds, her eyes focused on the book but not reading anymore.
"gee i don't know, let's start at you ignoring me," you say, shaking your head and scoffing quietly.
"i'm not ignoring you." daniela's eyes stay fixated on the book, her hands gripping it more tightly in her hands.
"really? that's what you're going to say?" you look at her with furrowed eyebrows. "obviously you're ignoring me, and i don't know why. so please talk to me."
"there's nothing to talk about," daniela mutters.
your lips pursed in a thin line, your irritation starting to become greater at every word she says. without a second thought, you yank the book out of her hands and put it on the table in front of you, seeing her eyes widen as she finally looks at you.
"what the fuck, yn?"
"what the fuck?" you repeat. "what the fuck, daniela? that's what you have to say?"
when daniela's eyes meet yours for the first time in weeks, she can see the mixed emotions in them. you're angry, upset, confused. all because of her. she feels a twang of guilt rush through her at the sight.
"after ignoring me for weeks you're surprised i'm fed up with it?" you shake your head. "look, i don't know what i did, but i can't fix it unless you tell me. why have you been ignoring me?" you ask the question again.
"i'm not ignoring you."
you take a deep breath after her words, your anger starting to bubble up before you speak. "fine," you say, standing up. "if you won't tell me what's going on, then i think we should end this."
"what?" daniela's eyes go wide and her head jerks up to you when you stand, the expression on her face finally changing into something you hadn't seen, panic evident in her eyes. "you're not serious."
you just stare down at her, your arms crossed over your chest. "i am. we can't fix things if you won't say what the problem is. that's for everything. i don't even know what i did, daniela, because you won't tell me. how do i know if it's something serious or something petty like you being jealous? i don't. so yeah, i'm fucking serious," you tell her, your voice and look on your face being enough to tell her you are serious. "if you don't tell me in the next ten seconds then i can assure you this is over."
daniela feels her mouth go dry at your words. you're serious. you're serious about leaving her. she knows you're right. she knows she has to just suck it up and say it. just say it and she won't lose you. just fucking say it.
"i don't like how close you're getting with megan," she blurts out.
the words take a moment to process in your brain, and before you can even think of a response, she's continuing.
"i know she doesn't see you that way and you don't see her that way but i don't like it," she says. "i've seen all the edits, i've seen all the tweets, i mean fuck it's like how much more obvious can i be before people realize that you're with me? i know we can't officially say anything but i can't stand it. i trust you and the girls, of course i do, but what if a pr stunt happens? what if the company says you're dating some random celebrity and i-i'm left behind and you realize you don't really love me and–"
"dani, calm down." you sit down again, closer to her and cupping her face in your hands, cutting her off of her rambling. "are you really jealous over megan of all people? the clingiest girl ever? dani, there's nothing to worry about," you tell her. "it's nothing serious, you should know that. i love you, daniela. okay? even if for some random reason the company does a pr relationship i promise nothing will change between us. so please, stop worrying."
daniela slowly nods along to what you say, her eyes flickering across your face. "i'm sorry for ignoring you," she says in a quiet voice.
"it's alright," you reply, your thumb drawing circles on her cheeks. "i love you," you whisper.
"i love you too," she whispers back.

i kinda feel bad complaining about comments bc its not like i *never* get comments, but theyre rare. i average around 3-4 comments per fic i post i guess? i feel like i shouldnt complain i dont get enough when some get 0, lol. (well, sometimes i also get none, but still)
Pal, I know you feel like you shouldn't complain. We're all trained to take what we're given
And yes, you should be happy for the comments you get. I know I'm grateful for the ones I get.
But let me put it this way.
20 years ago, in 2003, I was posting my extremely niche OC x Canon villain fic on ffnet.
Back then, I got like 6-10 comments *per chapter*.
And my fic wasn't very good! And it wasn't very popular! And it wasn't comparatively getting a lot of comments in terms of what other, good, popular authors were getting at the time.
Commenting on the fic you were reading used to just be normal. That was the way people participated in fandom!
It's really, genuinely changed in the last 20 years.

Jason passively tried to off himself, but Dick got there in time.

And I Will Be Your Safety — GEN • 1 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “Who hasn’t kidnapped their sibling at least once?”
Tim is overworking himself (CEO life) and straight-up asks Jason to kidnap him.

Part 2 of Robin is Magic
A Meditation on Railroads — GEN • 5 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “It’s good, has some slow parts, but the last two chapters are gold.”

Middle Children Must Unionize — GEN • 1 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “I wish it had another chapter.”
Jason realizes no one gives a damn about Tim, so he fixes the problem himself.
Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Wake Him Up — GEN • 1 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

🩷 Five Stages of Immeasurable Anguish — GEN • 1 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “I have to recommend this, it’s a gem.”
Jason wakes up buried alive (again), but this time he has comms with the Batfam. ‘Who’s panicking more?’ the one-shot
Grave Pretender — GEN • 1 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “LMAO, this is amazing, they’re all dramatic as hell.” “It’s Under the shadows , but a comedy.”
Jason, full theater kid mode, pretends to be his just-crawled-out-of-the-grave self to haunt his family
Other Recs:
A Bespoke Tuxedo His Only Armor — GEN • 1 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “It’s angsty but cute.”
Tim gets shot by Damian while they’re both in civilian mode and is lowkey on his last breath.
Tim Drake Spoiled Brat. (I’m sorry dad) — GEN • 16/? (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “Bro, is therapy illegal in Gotham??”
Tim dies at 17 and reincarnates into his younger self. This time, he tries to save the Bats from most of their trauma so they can actually be a family… but he is screwed because he thinks everything is his fault or some shit
🩷 Burning Ashes - The Rise of a Phoenix – GEN • 10/20 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “Only downside? It’s not finished.”
Jason reincarnates (as what seems to be Dick’s bastard kid with some random lady), and at five years old, he kills the Joker. Batman catches him and takes him in… but Jason remembers everything, is pissed about it, and also super traumatized (bc, y’know, he has the psyche of a five-year-old)
Cards on the table – GEN • 30 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) “This is hilarious.”
Tim’s parents faked their deaths and just ditched him, so, in his totally mature 16-year-old wisdom, he starts scamming Gotham’s elite by pretending to be a “psychic” (he just stalks people and makes probability guesses based on the profiles he built on them).
The Waynes hire him, and dude just keeps digging himself deeper (he knows their identities)
“When Tim went out to do what he liked to call research, but what was probably legally classified as stalking, he had to be careful” (Ch. 4)

oh em gee i was about to go to sleep but i was js thinking about how baby!reader and sam would also be really close i think
and so maybe one night like during a hunt sam finds baby just like upset cause she’s trying to figure out what a lore book or whatever says and she’s frustrated 1. cause she can’t read it and 2. she doesn’t understand why her eyes are suddenly wet and why she’s feeling this way cause she’s never felt this before
and so sam just like teaches her how to read a little maybe and just helps her understand what she’s feeling and why
IDKKK I JS THOUGHT THAT WAS SO CUTIE
(also trust i know baby is a badass i’m just leaving this thought here (LOVEE YOU AND YOUR WRiTING<3333))
STOP THIS MADE ME GO 🥺 LITERALLY OH MY GOD. i hope i can get this to u before u fall asleep so it can be... ironically ... like a bedtime story :')
and i agree baby is a lil badass so so much and part of that is bc girl feels all of her things SO unapologetically :') !!! so i love this and have been meaning to think more on sam n baby's dynamic too so it is PERFECT.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
they were always looking at those books, splayed out on whatever shoddy surface the motel room had. sometimes they had tables shoved into corners, or desks pressed so tightly against a wall that the wallpaper cracked behind it, the little space clearly not equipped for every bit of furniture the owners wanted to cram inside of it.
either way, you'd become aware of the winchesters habits, and that was one of them. a worn and faded leather book beneath one of their big hands, skimming the lines like they'd seen what was in the pages a million times, enough to know where in the book to flip to when they wanted something in particular.
dean went on a food and coffee run after begrudgingly admitting to the fact that this one was going to take all night, and sam decided to jump in the shower while he was gone, leaving you at the desk squished between the wall and the tv stand, one of the books open under your hand.
it was nothing special. inky lines and rough sketches across every page, some things crossed out and others underlined. you'd flipped through the entirety of the book to make sure that this really was all there was to it, and sure enough, there wasn't a deviation. every page had scribbly shapes on it, and every other page a scribbled drawing, and it didn't make any sense.
dean sometimes held the book up on its edge, nose pressed in close like he was trying to read in between what was on the pages, so you tried that, too. you were waiting for something big to happen. that was another thing about the winchesters; looking at one of these leathery things full of paper always led to pieces of whatever case to click together.
nothing clicked. nothing made sense. this was another thing that they shared, something programmed into them that was left out when it came to the making of you, and it was devastating.
you try to breathe in, but your chest catches on it, lips parted as you gasp on it. your throat is tight. your eyes have water in them. all of this at once surely must have meant you were dying, right? you'd breathed normally up until now, and your throat didn't feel like it was closing until now, and your eyes weren't supposed to have water coming out of them, streaming down your cheeks in little rivers, pooling on the desk's warbled surface.
you get up, the catch in your chest only getting worse, banging on the room's bathroom door. sam's shower had stopped running a few minutes ago, so you knew he was in there, either half dressed or holding a plastic thing in his mouth with something foamy on his lips. they did that a lot. helped you do it, too, even though you didn't remember the word for it. how were you supposed to think right now? you were dying.
"sammy?" you ask, and your voice even sounds weaker. you hit the door harder, a little whimper in your throat, terror clawing at the lump like it was trying to break through it. "sammy..."
the door tugs open, sam's tall figure looming over you, a look of concern written into his features. "what's wrong?" it clicks a second after the words leave his mouth, concern half giving way to something sympathetic. "baby."
you keep wiping at your eyes but it keeps coming. "there's something in my throat. and my eyes—" you rub your palms into your eyes, trying to shove the rivers back into the sockets. "they're leaking. they're leaking, they're—"
sam melts further, stepping forward to wrap his arms around you. he's as warm as the bathroom air, slipping through the gapped door he stood in. "you're crying," he says slowly, gently, palm rubbing down your spine, soothing the choke in your voice, "that's alright. nothing's wrong. people cry, sometimes."
that was reassuring, but how were you supposed to get it under control? sure, you weren't dying, but you were a little out of your league, here.
your lack of answer seems to prompt sam to continue, his chin resting on the crown of your head. "what were you doing?" he asks, taking a step backwards to be able to see your face better. "before you started crying. so i can try and fix it, or help, or anything you need."
you point behind you, to the misplaced desk and the stupid leather thing full of useless pages. "i tried to look at it. like you and dean do."
sam nods in understanding, the concern now fully crumbled through and leaving that sympathetic, glimmery look in his eyes.
"it didn't make any sense. i don't know what is in there. it's all just lines and shapes and..." you throw your hands up in frustration, and what do you know? the tears have stopped, and the very familiar feeling of unwarranted fury sits on your tongue. "it is stupid. that thing is unhappy."
the corner of sam's lips quirk. "it can be unhappy." he steps around you, hand on your elbow to easily brush past you. "it's a book. one of dad's. details about the things we hunt on cases."
"books are unhappy."
there was no getting through to you right now, but sam always tried. dean sometimes just got frustrated along with you, but sam always managed to maintain the gentleness that came with trying to teach you the comings and goings of humanity.
he picks the book up and flips through the pages, and you almost see red, knowing that, in that moment, he was doing the exact thing you couldn't. but then he lifts a hand, motioning you to come closer with his finger. "it's unhappy, but it's not gonna bite," sam says, dropping his hand to tug the chair back for you to sit down. you do, though not without the stubborn reluctance. "look at the line at the top."
"no." a puff of angry breath leaves your mouth along with the words. "i already know i do not see what you and dean see. i do not want to start doing the crying again."
sam laughs this time, finger dropping to the line in reference. "it's a sentence. everything on this page is sentences, made up of words that you read." his nail traces the beginning of the page. "that word? wendigo."
your eye is twitching. "i cannot do the read either." you shove his finger out of the way, lifting the book close up to your face. "it looks like loopies and droopies."
"the loopy is a w," he cages you in from behind, one arm on your right side holding him up, the other's index finger back at the word. "words are made of letters. letters are... yeah, for the most part, loopies and droopies."
it sounds silly in sam's mouth, but, whatever. it made sense to you. "the word i told you? wendigo?" he traces beneath the word as he goes, "w-e-n-d-i-g-o."
you stare at it, each piece of the word and then all at once, mouthing the letters to yourself. very fun first word to learn, but that was only one on the whole page, and that was not enough for you. you wanted to understand everything. you hold the book close to your face, again like dean, as you scan over every sentence and word and letter.
sam is patient behind you, and quiet, as he lets you study. you slam the book down, the spine colliding with the wood echoing in the little room. you point at a word in the middle of the page. "when."
forget the loopy in the middle. you saw wen and knew it.
sam pats your shoulder. "yeah, that says when," he reaches up to the desk to close the book, pushing it closer to the rest of books in their pile, "not a very good starting place for learning to read, so we'll do something else later, how about that?"
he pushes it away, so you grab it, palm flat and possessive over the hardcover. "i want this one. i know two words in it already."
"baby, there are words in that book that even i don't know how to say," sam says, giving you that look that he always tends to when, and you quote, you're being a little too bossy. "we'll start with the hotel keycard. or the tv guide. very much easier, and not as scary of a topic."
"but—"
"you are already overwhelmed." his voice is so gentle. him and dean have this way of bottling up all of your intense feelings and condensing them into something more manageable for all three of you. "i don't think you want to cry again tonight, so we're starting slow. with how you're learning, it won't take long until you're up there with me and dean, reading easy and naturally."
your eyes roll. his brighten with amusement. "i just don't want to feel so different and wrong." you meet his gaze, and the amusement has tampered, replaced with a sadness that must be reflected in your own. "you and dean do things all the time that i can't. i want to."
"we'll get you there." sam's words are a solid promise, hand coming up to ruffle the mess of your hair. "but in the meantime, no more crying. you shouldn't want to be like me and dean. you're fine just like this."
even you knew that sounded cheesy. you're about to tell him as such, but he holds up a finger. "we know all of this as easily as we do because we grew up too fast, and too afraid. you don't ever need to be upset that you didn't go through all that we did." he lifts your hand off of the book, using that gentle grip to yank you out of the seat and away from your dried tears on the desktop. "but it's normal. normal to cry, normal to get upset over things you can't do. baby, if you're worried about not fitting in with us because you don't feel human enough, that just makes you even more like us than you think."
you might have asked him about that part, but it seemed a little too invasive. you had some limitations to the endless array of questions you bombarded them both with. instead, you move to stand in front of the tv, staring at it, trying to will it on.
"take it to the tv guide." you nod toward it, eyes narrowing still in your efforts to peer pressure it on. "i want to learn to read the show dean watches."
sam grabs a little rectangle off of the stand, shaking his head. "no. no, you really don't."

the solitaire community is gonna kill me for this but some of the fans make me so mad. it’s not even justifiable, i know it’s just a book but this book means so much to me 😭
i hate when people insinuate that tori was lying to herself when she was talking to michael and clarified that it was in a friend way. They are friends. They were always friends first, and it was extremely hard for her character to establish, and she finally did and was finally comfortable with it and people decide that it’s a fully romanced based thing. When she openly clarifies that something is meant in the context of friendship, i see people post stuff like “ohhhh sureeeeee, that was definitelyyyy friendship”
Yes? It was? Because this story so isn’t a romance to the point where it says “This is not a love story” on the cover? Istg, i love a lot of osemanverse fanbases but the tumblr solitaire one kinda drives me insane.
The story is about mental health and the conflicts of the Solitaire pranks. A romantic plot in this story is a side plot. If you think that Sprolden is the main focus of Solitaire, respectfully, take ten large steps away from me.
Maybe it’s just because i’m bad at social cues, but when first reading Solitaire, i didn’t realize that Tori and Michael were a romantic thing until they kissed. And I truly think that’s how it was meant to be. Because the base of everything for them was their friendship.
Does Alice write romance amazingly well? Yes. Should you dismiss Tori’s platonic feelings for Michael due to the fact that they also share romantic interest? Not unless you are a safe distance away from me bc wtf
Like when someone talks about it all i can think is “Tell me you don’t know what a complex friendship is without telling me you don’t know what a complex friendship is.”
ughhhhh
okay rant over

ok! Thank you for answering my question! Can I request tfp Optimus and Megatron who’s both in love with a femme tiger beastformer? (May or may not have started the war bc they both didn’t want the other to have her…) And the only way they could show their love for her is by like fingering her valve and stuff….Megatron gets the chance to be all alone with her and takes advantage of it, fingering her and showing her who’s better. Then Optimus finds out about it and he does the same to try and prove he’s better than Megatron. Hope this works! Tyyyy<33
Message - Crap, ok so I wrote the whole fic and read your request again. I accidentally had it to where Optimus does it first, then Megatron. Hopefully this is still good, but I apologize for changing it a little.
Tumblr media
Megatron x Tiger Beastformer Reader x Optimus NSFW
Summary - Optimus and Megatron get a chance for your love by fingering you.
Warnings - NSFW
You have been one of the many leaders of the Beastformer clans and both Megatron and Optimus fell in love with you. The war has made it very hard for either of them to see you, which would make the war worse. Finally, Optimus has spotted you on Earth and Megatron sees you not long after. Both have gotten a lot more interested and motivated to fight again…but what they didn't know was how much you couldn't give two fucks. These two fighting for you has gotten to far and you separated from them for a reason. You tried so hard to get them to stop the battles, but it never worked so you haven't seen them for hundreds of years. Optimus has always loved you for your caring nature while also being mature. Megatron on the other hand loves you for being a good fighter, while also having a fierce personality. Living in the wild for all your life, both the mechs lives seemed so impossible for you to be in, and their little fight wasn't cute at all. You never felt any romance for them during the years, but honestly if they turned their acts around, you would give them a chance.
Running around the forests, you ran all the way to the deserts of Nevada. You smell someone's scent that smelled familiar, so you stay in your tiger form to follow the trail. Optimus Prime's body is seen around the corner of your optics. Quickly hiding above him on some rocks, you watch silently as he seemed to be scouting around the place. Optimus was trying to destress from the last battle that happened yesterday. Megatron has gotten worse ever since he spotted your tiger form around the area, and it have made Optimus a lot more irritated. On the inside, he felt so angry their fight has gotten so far, but honestly if it was for your affection and respect, he might as well keep going. He felt as though someone was there around him, so Optimus transforms his servo into a gun. Looking around the rocky mountains, he didn't sense you up above as you go into pouncing position. With a little aft wiggle, you jump onto Optimus and pin him to the ground. Optimus was scared it was a Decepticon attack, but now can see it was you. You make a deep growl and sniff his faceplate. "You seem jumpy."
Optimus smiles a little and pets you, rubbing your ears with a friendly hello. "I haven't seen you in so long." You press your head on his servo, loving the touch you haven't received from him in years. "Well maybe stop the war, and I will see you both more often." Looking at Optimus with serious eyes, he disappointedly stops petting you. "You know he will never stop until the Autobots are no more." Ugh, these bots are annoying you at this point. Every time they give you a more stupid excuse. "Well than I can't chose unless one of you earned to be my conjunx." Optimus perks up at what you said. Soooo, they have a chance? Finally, now he has to figure out what you want. "I can give you something like a gift? Or maybe I can itch around your back, I know it can be difficult for you to touch around that area." You chuckle at his cute little requests and transform in your mech form, standing over him and reach your hand out for him to grab. He grabs your hand and you help pull him up back to his feet. "If you really want me to think about you being my conjunx, than you would have to screw me." You laughed at the little joke you made, Optimus blushing mad. It was hilarious to tease both of them with such sensitive topics. You have teased Megatron about politics before and you had no idea how mad that guy could get. Seeing the Prime flustered was so cute in your eyes, but what you didn't know what he was going to say right after. "Well…what would you like me to do than." You stopped in shock from what he just said. No, he can't be serious. Was the leader of the Autobots really going to interface with you just to have you? "Wha-no. I won't do something that you are not comfortable with, I will not force you to interface with me just for my hand." Optimus loved your gentleness and care for him. It was making his love for you worse. "No no y/n, I would like to. I may have not done this type of thing since the war, but I still wouldn't mind such an event." Holy crap this can't be happening. I mean, you would like to have someone do this with you, but knowing that someone was going to be Optimus? Maybe giving him a chance wasn't such a bad idea? "Well, if you use your servos and please me to my liking. I would think about it."
Cut to you being gently placed against one of the rocky walls of the canyon. He first starts by petting your ears and face plating, which was very much appreciated. Your tail flicks around and goes in-between your legs. Optimus was very good at petting you, it made your purr loudly. He thought you were so cute when you were in this state, but he knew he couldn't continue this forever. His servos start to slide down and massages around your hips and lower stomach. "Mmmm, well aren't you a charmer." You tease him again with a little smirk. Optimus blushes again, but continues the massage down to your thighs. This made you pretty relaxed and you lean your head against the stone wall. Before he can put his servos on your panel, your tail moves to cover it. You never could control what that tail could do, it only acts base on your emotion. Were you embarrassed about doing this outside? Maybe you were just challenging him by seeing what Optimus would do. He looks to see if you are ok while he pushes aside your tiger tail away. He pops your panel off and sees your wet valve. The prime just stares at it for a while, realizing he is about to do something Megatron wishes he could do at this moment. His servo cups around your valve and rubs against your folds. Your back arches just a little as you sweetly moan out. Optimus was gentle yet firm with his movements, it was honestly such a better feeling then you expected. He puts one of his digits into your valve, which doesn't sound like much until you remember how big Optimus is. His digits were a pretty big size, so one finger made you feel better already. "Ah! Prime!" Optimus closes his eyes and puts another inside your walls, making you moan louder. He listened to the music he was hearing coming from your mouth as he fingers you. Pumping in and out of your valve, your ears flicked down and your tail wrap around his arm. Optimus couldn't ask for anything better to look at, you were so pretty while in such a vulnerable position. Your mind was clouded from the pleasure and only the pleasure that the Prime was giving to you. You felt like you were going to release, so you put yours hands over your mouth, but Optimus stops you by having his other servo grab yours, taking them away from your mouth. "Please Mmmm! Optimus!" He watch as you cum on his digits, dripping out of your valve and on the ground. He takes his fingers out of your valve and lick the juices in front of you off his servo. "Come back when you are done thinking about it."
It has been a few days since this happened, and Megatron was told from Soundwave the report of him flying over the canyon. The Decepticon Leader was furious! How dare Optimus do it with you first! He hated that you now probably have Optimus' scent all over you, though this could be a good opportunity for him to also show you that he was better than Optimus in earning your hand as a conjunx. All the rules were was to finger you until you were pleased? He could do a lot with that.
Running around, digging your claws in the ground, you were back again at scouting around as you find The Decepticon ship in the sky. It seemed to be very low to the ground for some reason, which distracted you from sensing Megatron walking up to you from your left. "So, did you make a decision yet?" You turn to see him standing a few yards away from your body. You transform into you mech form and give him an eyebrow. "What ever do you mean my friend?" He use to love when you call him names, but calling him a friend made his anger a little worse. "Optimus has already put himself onto you, have you already chose him or did you come to my area to give me a chance?" He watches as your cheeks get a bit heated from what he said. You didn't want to admit, but interfacing with someone was the best thing you have ever felt in so long. You haven't said yes to Optimus yet…so maybe having another round would get your mind to make a decision. You walk over with narrow optics and start to circle Megs, your tail grazing his leg. "If I choose one of you, will you both be able to end this war?" Before Megs could reply you interrupted him with "even if I choose neither?" Oh did that get him a bit nervous, but he wouldn't show it. He was so stubborn on wanting you to love him, he didn't even think of you not picking either of them again and letting them starve again by not showing yourself again for years. You feel him grab your tail tightly, which made you hiss automatically from the physical movement. Megatron shows you an evil smirk, which made you silent. "That is a high possibility. So, up to give me a chance?" You think about it for a little; why not let him try? Your tail tightens around his wrist and you stick you glossa out at him. "If you got the skills, than go ahead."
You are now in the air against a tree in the forest area of Nevada. Megatron is holding you up with one servo grabbing your two wrists above your head, while he starts to lick your neck. Not going to lie, you were a bit nervous with how close his teeth were to you, but you knew he would never hurt you…badly. Megatron saw you as a gem. Something to protect yet want for him to have for the rest of his life. He wanted to keep you in his thrown room, imagining how you would just be in beast form and lay next to his feet. He will never admit how much he adores you in a romantic way, wanting to wake up to you clinging onto his arm with your tail wrapped around his leg. He wanted you to be able to freely do whatever you like and if you wanted anything, he would give it to you in seconds. Going back to the sex, he takes his free servo and goes in-between your legs, but not to grab your panel, but your aft. He starts to rub the area and feels your tail start to wrap around his wrist. Your panel pops by itself and he stopped moving. He didn't realize how beautiful you looked down there, being able to now stare at your valve made him even more motivated to get you for himself. He starts to push two digits inside you, trying not to cut you with his sharp claws. You moan out, missing the lovely feeling again. He goes as deep as he could before you feel a third digit pushing inside you, spreading your walls a bit. "Megs! O-oh Primus!" You struggle a little from his tight grip, your back arching while he pumps his three digits inside of you. He was a lot more rough than Optimus, though that didn't ruin anything. You loved how Megs just used you like you were nothing, biting your chest and licking your wounds while he feels your body trying to escape his arms.
You cum for the second time, your legs shaking a bit from not having enough energy inside you to stand. Megatron slowly sits you down on the ground, letting you make a small puddle while he catches his breath. He wasn't that tired, it was just the fact that he was being a bit too rough with his servo which got it to feel a bit sore. He was blinded with so much anger and lust, he finally thought for a moment if he hurt you at all. Megatron never felt guilty for doing violent things, but to you? He would never want to hurt your beautiful frame. He observe your weak form and finds a bunch of bite marks all over your upper torso and shoulders. He was going to say something, but you beat him to it. "W-well, that was quite lovely. I'll take my time to think about it, you were a bit interesting~" What you weren't telling him though, was that you are going to try to find a way to pick both.

Already posted this on my Zeus rp blog but whatever
Hear me Out: Olympus sitcom AU
The series follows each 12 pantheonic gods (+ Hades) living in Mount Olympus, an apartment complex inside of New York (bc my dumbest knows nothing about modern greece)
Obviously, the family tree is a LOT different in this AU
Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus are all related.
Hera only has 1 sister (Hestia)
Demeter is related to NOBODY, not even Persephone (though the two are good friends in the AU)
Athena and Ares are siblings, same with Artemis and Apollo
Nobody else in the group is related in any way, shape, or form.
FUN FACT: ZEUS, POSEIDON AND HADES WENT TO COURT.
That's right 10 year old Zeus, 13 year old Poseidon, and 15 year old Hades were sent to court for the collective attempted murder of their father, Kronos. Luckily, there was enough evidence that Kronos was an abusive piece of shit, so they got off the charges for self-defense, and Kronos was sentenced to 40 years of prison.
Athena is studying for a degree in architecture (bc I just feel like she'd be into that shit). Athena can and WILL gush about her favorite types of stone material if she gets the chance to do so. Athena's 100% Aroace, but since this AU takes place in the 1980s, she just thinks she hasn't found the right guy yet
Apollo has a pretty face, but the second he opens his mouth, he's spouting shit about the newest black hole discovery. Him and Athena (despite being different in almost every way) get along VERY well
I'll answer questions about the other Olympians later but that's it for now
The show (hypothetically) begins with Aphrodite leaving her fiance (Heph :3) at the altar, causing the whole group to fall into chaos. Heph is obviously heartbroken that the woman he loves left him, but he'll still try being friends with her (though early on he has very "nice guy" energy)
One side is on Aphrodite's side. They know Aph and Heph were just too different to commit to a marriage. It was bound to happen eventually. Aphrodite thought she was in love, but it was never meant to be. She loved Hephaestus, but not in the way he wanted hernto. (that side consists of Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, Ares, Hades, and Hera)
The other side is on Hephaestus' side. This was the happiest day of his life, and Aphrodite (who was a huge player before she got with Heph) let all of that go like 30 minutes before the wedding was meant to begin just because it "didn't feel right." I mean, what kind of asshole leaves someone they've known for years at the altar!? (That side consists of Zeus, Dionysus, Hermes, Demeter, and Athena... for some reason)
I'm planning on making this a series of comics, but I wanna know if anyone else would like this!
As a thank you for reading, have this Doodle of tiny Hades, Poseidon and Zeus in court

this is an interesting discussion to have tbh and i like getting to hear other chronically ill people’s thoughts on it! same thing applies for my rambles here, not saying this to invalidate your experiences or your perspective, just want to share my own thoughts on it since i didn’t rly add anything to it before haha
i think a lot of this honestly just depends on the person and the chronic illness. different illnesses obviously have different symptoms and different people experience things to different levels of severity. so i’m def not by any means saying no chronically ill person can or does have good grades, bc that would be factually false and ableist.
i’ve had almost perfect grades up until this point in my college degree, to the detriment of my own health like remus may have, but this academic year is honestly a lot harder on me for reasons im unsure of—i think some of it is a cumulative effect though, and im only doing a 4-year degree compared to the 7 years of Hogwarts. plus, this is not mentioning my high school career, in which i got Ds in most of my classes and missed so many days of school i nearly didn’t pass high school at all just based on attendance. we don’t even know if there’s an attendance requirement at hogwarts! but in a modern day college or high school au there might be.
there’s also the fact that hogwarts is huge, and has a ton of stairs with, canonically at least, no elevators or ramps, meaning he’d have to use more energy on a daily basis than a lot of us in the modern real world have to with ADA (this is not to say all campuses are accessible, but a lot are at least partially so). there’s the fact that some of the classes, like DADA, are a lot more physically involved than the classes many college students are taking in the real modern world. and going back to the attendance itself, we don’t know if hogwarts grades on attendance but a lot of modern day public schools require attendance and if you miss too many days you cannot move on regardless of grades. as for college, a lot of professors at smaller universities grade on attendance and hogwarts seems to have relatively small class sizes. so if professors aren’t willing to be flexible on that? his grades would be shit just from sheer number of absences.
then there’s the fact that remus may not be old but he has been ill for a very long time, having been bitten so young. if we think of lycanthropy as a progressive illness, which seems likely based on various canonical descriptions, it will have had a lot of time already despite his young age.
also what makes lycanthropy different from a lot of real illnesses is the routine nature of the flares. he will have at least one flare every single month. with a lot of real illnesses people can go months without flares when they’re on proper treatment. they’re unpredictable and randomized, you might have twelve one semester and two the next. lycanthropy guarantees he will be sick for at least a day every single month, but likely more (because i don’t think there’s a lot of detail on this in canon but i find it immensely hard to believe that the full moon would only affect him the night of).
and lastly for many chronically ill people success in academia depends quite strongly on how accommodating and flexible professors are. we don’t know much about the marauders era professors iirc, so we don’t know if they’re decent people who would allow him flexible deadlines when he’s ill or not. we don’t know if they’re prejudiced against werewolves and refuse to accommodate one. i might be forgetting some details bc i haven’t read the canon series in many years but even if we meet some of them i know for sure we don’t know them all. plus just because someone seems nice from a 2-minute flashback doesn’t mean they aren’t ableist etc. and depending on the illness, the severity, etc pushing through just is not always physically possible! yes there is a certain extent to which you can ignore your needs and overuse energy you don’t have but it’s not always possible. my brain fog has been really bad this semester. i can force myself to do all the readings for my classes, but i physically cannot force the information to stick in my brain, so going through the motions does shit for my grades. we don’t really know what kinds of symptoms he has but if remus is injured and physically cannot, say, go gather plants from the forest for herbology, or he gets dizzy/lightheaded and cannot brew a potion bc the steam/heat will actually make him pass out, or whatever else, it won’t really matter how hard he tries or wants to push through. to be completely candid about something i’ve not even said out loud yet, i’ve had to give up on my dreams of going to law school because i am physically unable to maintain the grades necessary to get into a decent school, or to do the amount of reading law school entails, despite my best desperate attempts at pushing through even when it’s destroying me mentally and physically.
anyways, as i said this isn’t to negate anything anyone else said, it’s just my own interpretation of things! ultimately we’re working off of very little canon information about this and i’m not here to tell anyone their experiences are wrong. i think it’s a really interesting conversation to have though.
people who think rjl would have really good grades have never been chronically ill and had to miss school consistently because of it. I'm sure he was smart! I'm sure he did really well on tests! but there has never been a character I'm more sure struggled to achieve the academic success that he was capable of.

your uchiha houhua au is living in my brain rent free....im sleep deprived today bc i was reading/thinking about it late last night lol, its so good!!
after the massacre he would essentially be sasuke's guardian, right? maybe not officially but still, he'd be in charge of sasuke as the only older family around? idk if he'd be a GOOD guardian but i can see his paranoid ass just always handing sasuke more weapons and money, just in case
i need to know more about sasuke finding out about houhua and itachi's thing for each other!! and does sasuke still end up going to orochimaru in this au?
YEAHHH IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT !!! Uchiha Houhua remains one of The Favorites(tm) I really need to finish writing chapter 1, I'm like. So so close. So close.
I also need to update my tumblr vault fic with all the more recent Houhua au posts, since theres been a good amount of new content, but I'm putting it off till I'm done writing chapter 1 for the actual fic
No but I'm honored it could take up space in ur brain !!
YES! After the massacre, Houhua basically becomes Sasuke's officially unofficial guardian. There's no real paperwork for it done, but like, they really only have eachother
Sasuke flocks to him as the only other Uchiha, and Houhua takes him in both out of pity + not wanting him to be alone, and also partially because he knows Sasuke is a main character and his survival heavily depends on sticking close to main characters in the hopes that it'll help bump his character importance points
Houhua and Sasuke are stupidly rich now just because all of the Uchiha belongings and funds are theirs now.
There's a bit of trickiness bc technically, most of it should go specifically to Sasuke (as he's now default clan heir, though that isn't exactly worth much now) but Houhua is older than him
Houhua will probably end up splitting things between them, and Sasuke will trust him enough to do it (+ be too young to really realize that's something as important as it really is)
I think in canon, and lot of Uchiha shit got stolen or went ""missing"" in their death, mostly bc Sasuke... wouldn't know what to watch out for / prevent people from trying to take. But with Houhua here, it's going to be way hard for anyone to do any sort of grave robbing
Houhua is absoloutley gonna be taking inventory and his past life's experience means he knows to be on guard for people looting the compound when he's not looking !! There might even be some fun drama w that in the future ,,,
Houhua is stuffing weapons and money into Sasuke's pockets, very much fussing over him every chance he gets.
(Because Sasuke is his meal ticket!! He insists to himself, going out of his way to demolish anyone who looks at Sasuke even a little bit funny)
I honestly think Houhua would make for a good guardian for Sasuke overall, tho he'd for sure have his faults. The key word here is 'guardian', not anything like a father— Sasuke is gonna end up seeing Houhua as his (new, better, real) big brother over shitty Itachi over there
Houhua, as Shang Qinghua, lived to be very old (for a human, not for a cultivator) and had a hand in raising and training many disciples.
I like to reference Pride Is Not The Word I'm Looking For (aka the single best Shang Qinghua fic of all time) for my characterization for him, so he's like. Genuinley a good teacher and uncle, when he tries to be. He is just also burdened with crippling self doubt and likes to insist that every nice thing he does is canceled out by his own selfish reasoning behind doing those nice things
In Naruto world especially, filled with shitty murderous parents and a government that churns out murder babies, I think Houhua will be winning awards in his own parenting skills
Then there's also the fact that Houhua did know and interact with Sasuke before the massacre, just not too often. He was Itachi's weird cry baby friend, he'd hang out with him sometime
They just were never really close, and never really got to interact 1 on 1 for long— till, ofc, the massacre happens, and now Sasuke is latching on to Houhua and hyperventalating if anyone so much as looks like they're going to try and separate them
Houhua's existence as a whole allows Sasuke to be a lot more vulnerable, both because he is not "the last Uchiha" and also because Houhua will no doubt try to piggy back off of his revenge quest or even try to steal it entirely (to try and become a more important character, he insists to himself)
So Sasuke is just. Nowhere near as alone as before. And Houhua's own relationship with Itachi helps Sasuke believe Houhua might get it... more than other people, at least.
Ofc, there's also conflict in Sasuke maybe not thinking Houhua gets it "enough", or like Sasuke himself does, because Sasuke was, ofc, Itachi's little brother.
^ I think that would inevitably come in to play later, when Sasuke realizes Itachi and Houhua might have feelings for eachother. Sasuke would be so fucking hurt and feel so fucking betrayed, believing that maybe Houhua never "got it" to begin with
Things get even more complicated depending on when Sasuke learns this tho, because eventually Houhua is going to share his suspicions about the massacre being not as simple as it looked. So Sasuke's own feelings on Itachi are gonna go on a roller coaster of their own, trying to figure out if he himself can or should forgive his brother or no
Its all just a mess tbh, I love to see it
I HONESTLY DUNNO IF SASUKE WILL GO WITH OROCHIMARU OR NOT !! On one hand, mmmayybe ,,,, if he does, Houhua will go with him, full stop.
But there's also a chance that Houhua might try to take his place too! And he and Orochimaru are inevitably going to interact eventually, bc I have plans ,,,
(I mentioned it in another post, but if Houhua ever shares about the system and his past life with literally anyone, I would choose Orochimaru to find out. I think I could get the most milage out of him, and Orochimaru would absoloutley try to hack into the system for immortality and power or some shit)
I think whatever route I go with w Orochimaru will just depend on what I'm feeling when I get to that point in writing the fic. We will have to see where the story naturally leads me, you know? All of the options are so good, so it's hard to choose
ANYWAYS THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASK !!! I love Houhua au so much, I think its so much fun. Ur ask actually reminded me I really have to keep writing chapter 1, so this has kind of spurred me on to go do that
Hopefully I finish and post it soon!

Thinking about marriage/women's rights on Vulcan Some may think that T'Pring not being allowed to divorce Spock was because he was going through the pon farr but if she were allowed to divorce him at all she probably would have done that a long time ago, confirmed by T'Pol when she's speaking with Koss, who isn't suffering from the pon farr. She says that he can choose another mate (without invoking a fight it seems: note the difference between a 'mate' and a 'challenger') and after he makes it clear that nothing she says will change his mind about marrying her, she finally threatens to declare a kal-if-fee. It's clear that Vulcan women cannot divorce/refuse to marry a man they've been betrothed to under any circumstances if A) He himself doesn't consent to ending their marriage or B) She doesn't have someone else waiting in the wings to be given to in his stead. Though, if the challenger she selects fails to win the fight, she'll have to marry her betrothed anyway unless (again) he decides he doesn't want her after the challenge. That seems like an incredibly unfair system, heavily biased towards men. SNW is an alternate universe in many obvious respects but most egregiously in that T'Pring has a lot of non-canonical agency over her relationship with Spock. It's interesting to me that Vulcan society has women in many positions of power and treats women as equal to men from what I've seen despite these laws. We don't really see Vulcans exhibiting a misogynistic attitude towards women in general but in TOS (perhaps because of its general writing style but it's still interesting to note) both Sarek and Spock take on patriarchal attitudes specifically regarding wives. Amanda says that 'of course' Sarek commands her because "he is a Vulcan and I am his wife." It's worthwhile in my eyes to note that she specifies 'wife' instead of attributing this attitude to women as a whole. Again, with TOS' writing style it wouldn't be out of place for her to say "he is a man and I am a woman." Spock, while in a pon farr induced irritation, states that it's "undignified for a woman to play servant to a man that isn't hers" - again implying that there's something specific about being a Wife in Vulcan society which is different from being a woman in general and demands subservience to a husband. This could perhaps stem from the extreme sense of ownership that Vulcan law has permitted men to have over women. A woman legally cannot point blank refuse marriage. There is no option which guarantees she won't have to marry her betrothed other than death. When T'Pau speaks of T'Pring she refers to her as being 'property' and Stonn, before being interrupted, states he's made 'the ancient claim' - we don't know what this is because he gets cut off but it's obvious they're both using the language of Vulcan law. Men are permitted true freedom to choose. If a woman wants to choose someone else to be with there is no option available to her other than the kal-if-fee which might result in the death of the one she wants to be with. And, if her lover fails, her husband can still just decide he wants to marry her and she'll be forced to. T'Pring gives two scenarios: One where Spock 'frees' her and one where he doesn't - it's still ultimately his decision which is clear when he ends the conversation with "Stonn, she is yours." This again isn't just because of the pon farr as T'Pol also goes through this. Koss can choose another mate and when the option is talked about there's no implication that this would result in any sort of fight (both by the casualness of its mention and by the fact that there's no formal word for it unlike the kal-if-fee.) Also, the fact that Koss does eventually grant T'Pol a divorce and it's all fine means that T'Pol isn't lawfully required to have another man waiting if her HUSBAND doesn't want her. It's ONLY required if SHE doesn't want her husband. Tradition must take precedence over individual desire UNLESS!!! You're a man. Then it's fine. Like, your parents might not be happy but legally you're golden.
#as a note do NOT read the comments on any T'Pol marriage clips on youtube they're full of 'haha women amiright' jokes about#how she's leading Trip on and being a bitch for not choosing him etc - if you become interested in female characters you learn#quickly just how much people still hate women displaying any amount of complexity/doing anything that isn't just falling into a man's arms#even if that hatred doesn't take the form of outright vitriol (aka: 'I feel so sad for Trip bc T'Pol's marrying some other guy')#Trip: T'Pol listen this arranged marriage stuff is no good - you've gotta be free! You have to do what YOU want to do!#T'Pol: -legally seen as property of her husband in the eyes of the law- ...............#<- not dunking on Trip it's just funny how easy it makes it seem - but!! He doesn't know all the facts#as evidenced by him saying T'Pol might 'call off the wedding' to her mother - T'Pol can't legally call off shit#It's also interesting how gender isn't really mentioned in any of the clips I've seen - it's very clear to me that T'Pol has no options#specifically because she's a WOMAN within her culture but that's almost like a quiet undercurrent and not focused on as a main#point of dissatisfaction - which I imagine it 1000% would be for Vulcan women when men have infinitely more freedom#Vulcan Man: I don't wanna marry this lady#Vulcan Law: Ok#Vulcan Woman: I don't wanna marry this guy#Vulcan Law: Noted. So - if you and your lover are willing to risk his life there's a chance (if he wins) that you can get out of marrying#him BUT if your husband kills your lover and still wants to marry you you DOOO have to marry him sorry you just gotta#<- this also makes it incredibly dangerous to in any way warn your legal husband that a kal-if-fee might be incoming#the element of surprise is a HUGE advantage when it comes to winning a fight to the death (which your lover can train for)#Vulcans#T'Pol#T'Pring#star trek#I don't think this is bad necessarily (as a fictional worldbuilding thing) but I wish it were explored more#It's especially interesting because it's an aspect of logical Vulcan society - it's clearly not logical but it's also clearly rooted deeply#in tradition which may mean Vulcan long ago used to have a much more extreme gender bias towards the male population#it just implies a lot that Vulcan has these old laws which are unfair towards women yet they still follow BUT women are treated as equal#citizens OUTSIDE of marriage! Maybe there was a feminist movement before? Is there another brewing? Where are the Vulcan feminists!

I've been binging Batman Beyond recently (Terry ily so much) and thought about how- bc of the JLU twist which I think isn't even canon to the comics BB verse but shhh bare with me- he'd technically be Damian's half brother??? Which is just so ridiculously soap opera to me. I need them to interact in a silly time travel adventure so bad you don't even understand (ID in alt)
#dc comics#damian wayne#terry mcginnis#batman beyond#batman and robin#mine#also feat the mild damian uniform redesign i like playing around with. it's fun i like her. i love u classic robin colours#the backstory for this image in my mind is that Terry knows of Damian/has maybe met him#in the future (whether we're going w the rebirth ''damian rejoins the league'' angle that i. don't love conceptually but can't judge-#-bc i haven't read. or if we go w/ some other potential future route for damian) and Terry is like. experiencing whiplash at meeting him-#-as robin. like you are 5 feet tall why r u so bossy. where is your dad good god. this is why i don't have a robin (?this is pre matt-robin)#but Terry's in an unfamiliar time trying not to cause a paradox so he puts aside his indignitude(?) at being bossed around by a kid#just long enough to make sure nothing goes horrifically wrong. hence this image takes place#<- i could've been a lot more eloquent explaining this but it's very late and i should've been asleep ages ago#anyway. absolutely crazy to me that Damian has had multiple flavours of secret brother plots and terry is a potential addition. rip damian#(also in my ideal future damian took up the nightwing mantle (EVERYONE READ NIGHTWING MUST DIE!!!) before retiring(#idk what his future career is. lowkey hes a webcomic artist in my brain but that's so horrendously self indulgent i can't condone it#also i decided to try my hands at lineart again. evil. how are you so stiff looking and difficult to do. waughh#anyway if things look weird. no they don't

Lol tell me about it, legit what you said is still going on. I've seen it with my own damn eyes. Even what I said before is LEGIT what you just said. My friend told me they have seen "I'm leaving the Pixar Cars community" so many times on here and I wouldn't be surprised if it was for similar reasons stated above. I spend legit hours on my work, I learned how to draw cars from scratch, I don't trace my shit unless its for breaking things down into readable shapes. Multiple people have said they wanna pay me money for my work and said I could make it big at Pixar Studios considering how my art looks(Not that I want to, I draw what I want). They admire my passion for something so niche that truly, nobody cares about - "The Weakest Pixar Franchise". Makes me feel horrible because there were a lot of people here I'd like to know better who I feel we could make bomb ass collabs, like Blay. But they all left as soon as I decided to open up to the fandom due to freaks like this. I don't wanna make it big, I want respect, sure. But most of all I want to make friends and speak to people with a common interest and make something creatively wonderful with the lost potential the Cars 2 lemons/Antagonists were. Did I ever tell you Fizz was the reason I drew cars? I looked up to their art as a kid back in the good days of DeviantArt bc my hyperfix was Prof Z and its crazy that I'm almost 22 now doing everything I'm doing now. I went CRAZY when we became mutuals on here cause I legit thought that'd never happen. Maybe they'll see this. ---- Speaking of which that reminds me, Chloe is back trying to garner sympathy in the community thing that nobody ever uses and trying to say she's from the UK when we all know who she is. Just thought I'd let y'all know. For those of you who don't know, the last two paragraphs I believe refer to Chloe. There is legit a whole blog dedicated to archiving her shitty behavior. @chloe-harassment-proof Look through it for anyone actually reading this and needs to catch up on the lore, I will content warn ahead of time that it has a lot of topics usually covered by a TW. She is a woman in her 30's, has had children, and is going above and beyond just harrassing any fandoms that have to do with living machine or 80's cartoons. Like genuinely I just ignore her like she doesn't even exist but atp she's more than just some mentally derranged lolcow of the fandom here. I am being serious when I say she needs to have a wellfare check dude. All I gotta say on that is, do not let her win. That's what she wants. She wants you to take your works down. Don't give her power. Keep your works up, who gaf about her dude. I don't. The more she runs her fat mouth and the more people she targets the more evidence there is stacked against her - like there already isn't enough. She steals it? Cool, Google reverse image search is your friend and we all know she traces or frankensteins other people works. Nobody is going to give her a applause.
My first interaction with her was deadass funny, she was at first all buddy buddy with me until I stated I liked Grem X Acer. Then she decided playtime was over. BECAUSE OH NO, TWO MALE LIVING CARS KISSING. THE 70'S FELON HATCHBACK AMERICAN MOTOR COMPANY VEHICLES FROM PIXAR'S CARS 2 ARE SLOPPILY MAKING OUT!!!! AND THEY'RE DUDES!?!?? AND OP HC'S THEM AS BISEXUALS?? NO THIS CANNOT BE!!!! THEIR HUBCAPS ARE TOUCHING NOOOOO
Wait until she hears like almost all of this fandom is LGBTQ+ and we are not going to conform to what she wants. Anyway.

Fandom Problem #7581:
I hate how normalized harassment, bullying and overall being a dick has become normalized in fandom spaces. What's sick to me is that these people will harass and dox someone over the dumbest shit and then try to make themselves seem like they're morally right to do so, it's like it's a game to them. It honestly makes me feel like there's no point in being in fandoms at all if I could get harassed off a platform for the dumbest thing

while on the topic of iron posting. a very small very insignificant thing that i really enjoy is that nobody really harasses it for not speaking. and like. we don't know precisely why it doesn't speak. it could be because it's mute, it could be due to an unseen injury, it could just be a selective choice, it could be that it never bothered to learn human language to begin with, etc etc. but there's never been a scene (at least as far as i can recall) where mr iron is specifically called out or pressured or anything of the sort. not even by its own haters 4 haters coworkers. and yeah this is realistically probably because its an ESPECIALLY deadly space bat that could kill you six ways from sunday if you pissed it off, but also, y'know, sometimes it's really nice just having a mute character that's treated Normally for once
