DONT listen to redditors when they tell you a good jumping off point to get into spiderman comics is Superior!! they are lying to you!! not even as a dig at superior spiderman, as much as i love making fun of it it's a good comic run
but I can't imagine recommending the one where Peter gets freaky friday-ed into a dying doc ock's shriveled body and then proceeds to die in said shriveled body as Doc Ock fucks around in Spiderman's body. and you have to read dying wish which is honestly a pretty dense 5 issue run leading up to Superior Spider-Man on its own, filled with characters that you won't have encountered unless you've been reading asm up to that point (be honest how many of you have even heard of horizon labs.) But then the first like 5ish issues of ssm Doc Ock just tries to get with MJ and also it is HEAVILY SUGGESTED to that doc ock has feelings for May. In Peter's Body. And the whole time Peter is just stuck as a ghost watching doc ock SORT OF FLIRT WITH HIS AUNT IN HIS BODY ? and I'll stop here. but in no world would I suggest maybe one of the most absurd spiderman comics (sure it's no sins of the past but come on) to someone who has only seen the movies or the cartoons, and wants to get into the comics. I get that it's like a fan favorite but come on!!
anyway here's what id recommend people read if they want to Spiderman:
Obviously ASM is the main title and if youre really committed to being in the know on spiderman, it's definitely The place to go. But also it has 900+ issues and it can hard to find a good starting place.
I don't hate the 2022 run as much as some people do (totally reasonably btw there's some choices I'm not crazy for eithsr), and since it's the ongoing run there's not as much you'd have to read to be caught up. A lot of it is little 3-4 issue self contained stories! There's only fifty-threeee (?) issues out rn so plenty to read but not as daunting as the almost One Thousand Issues that lay before you and a near 60+ year run. I also hear the 2012 run is pretty good but I've only read a few issues here and there of that one so I cannot speak to it myself lol
Another series that's not too long but still has plenty there: Deadpool/Spider-Man! has two fan favorites and absolutely plenty of wacky comic antics. The first big plotline isn't the best but the character moments more than make up for it. Only 50 issues so not too bad! Plus, the run is over so you won't be trying to catch up (im hoping they revive it <-self delusion)
Avenging Spider-Man is another good jumping off point imo! It's a team-up series that will point you to ongoing plotlines without dragging you into them, so if one happens to strike your fancy you can go find those comics to read that storyline. It's fun, heartfelt, and self contained (for the most part). Can you tell I like team up stories yet.
For individual issues you can read completely standalone:
Deadpool annual #2 (2013)
Avenging Spider-Man #4
Amazing Spider-Man #248
Daredevil #8 & #9 (2016) (two issues ik im cheating, trust me though)
And if you're just looking to get into comics in general, here's a couple stand alone miniseries that I really like (all 10 issues or less!)
Gwenpool Strikes Back (spiderman is in this one!)
Hawkeye: Freefall (spideys here too!!)
Defenders 2017 (he's not here though... as far as I can remember)
(also you can find all of these online! (for free ;)) at readcomicsonline.li but for the love of god don't use that site if you don't have an ad blocker)

COD HEADCANONS 2
Here's the link to the first b/c y'all loved it sm ty &lt;3
Go read my Ghost x Reader on AO3 | Reap What You Sow
Relationship hcs!!!
Gaz:
Undiagnosed dyslexia
Soap will say some dumb shit about it and Gaz will fire back with something like “you need autocorrect irl b/c no one can fucking understand you”
Hates winter; this is a summer boy!
Ghost told him that Soap’s Halloween party was a dress-up party, but Gaz took it as a sexy dress-up party and came in a slutty nun outfit
Ghost had to go to the bathroom because he was tearing up from trying to hold back his laughter
Can’t pull all-nighters
This bitch NEEDS 8 hours or he’s not happy
Like… he can pull them, but you unlock this secret character trait of “ultimate fucking bitch Kyle”
Got really into Overwatch and then didn’t tell anyone after it died (pre OW2), then was fucking insane at every character when OW2 came out
Soap hates his ass for this
Flexes, only character he doesn’t like is Hanzo (still upset about the scatter arrow removal)
Tinyass bladder
“I have to pee”
“WE LEFT EIGHT MINUTES AGO WHAT DO YOU MEAN?”
Really gentle with his friends, him and Soap’s bromance goes crazy like they’ll do that thing where they almost kiss and they pull back and go “WOAAAAAAH WOAHHHHHHH”
Thinks hairless cats are gross
Ghost:
The kind of guy to sit back and watch shit unfold unless the person who (is getting / is about to get) their shit rocked is someone he respects
Previously had an allergy to shellfish
Raw dogged it until the allergy literally went away
Exposure therapy, man
Knows what “L + Ratio” means and HAS used it against Soap once
Soap and Gaz lost their fuckin beans when he said it and they’ve never forgotten it
Sorta plain texter – really just like “K,” “Ok,” “Did you eat.”
Doesn’t use a lot of question marks
No question marks or really any punctuation other than a period at the end of EVERY text
Doesn’t use Apple emojis or Android, but the text version
Like :)
BUT ALWAYS ENDS THEM IN A PERIOD :).
Eventually unlearns this but ending everything like a sentence lasted for a while
He won’t say openly if he’s annoyed, but will add a little extra sharpness to his stare
Great at FPS games, chooses to not use the mic because he likes shitting on dumb mfkrs and listening to them bitch when he wins 1v1’s
Played OW for Soap and Gaz and got really fucking good at Zen, but almost always plays DPS
Learned how to build computers and finds it really relaxing
Soap and Gaz both asked for him to make them PCs and he said “no,” then did both of them in the span of one 3-week break cycle
Knows everyone’s addresses
How the fuck does he know everyone’s addresses
Definitely the guy to say a random set of numbers pretending like its someone’s IP address
“The Riley Murders” is a popular true-crime segment; literally avoids all true-crime media because of this
Not really a fan of the holidays, but he does put in the effort to be at the 141 parties and get-togethers for his team
Panic attacks for him aren’t obvious. He just stands there, holding his gaze at one spot while he clenches his jaw/fist, trying to push out the ringing in his ears
Doesn’t dress up for Halloween or does the bare minimum (antlers on top of his head, a single bowtie, etc)
Alejandro:
Uses all emojis
ESPECIALLY THE CATS
Weird about how much he likes Minions
Fucked up knee from tearing his ACL as a kid
Like his knees pop when he kneel down and shit
Bros so anti-drug he doesn’t like prescription drugs
*Bleeding out* “Tylenol? Why would I need that?”

“Overwatch? We’re off right now, why are we talking about this?”
“You have three guys on you? What are you talking about?”
Confused dad
Heavyweight drinker; man likes his beers
Gaz called him "dad" once and he owns it like a fucking medal
Says “back in my day” to fuck with everyone
Sings the Star Spangled Banner in the most heinously British accent he can
He only knows “Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light, oh so proud…” and then bullshits the rest
Soap:
Bisexual. No preference.
Not really a “will kiss anyone” but more of a “please let me kiss someone”
Flirts with fuckin’ anyone and everyone but the issue is that he just doesn’t stay in one place because of work, so unless he’s dating someone in the field (which is super rare), it’s mostly just flings
“Guys, let’s do the brown note endurance contest.” (Google “brown note youtube”)
Spells Spongebob like “Spunch Bob”
“I am not paid enough to do that.”

The Love-Hate thing with XY
Tumblr media
Something I’ve had thoughts on ever since I’ve seen more of the Anipoke community and it’s an interesting situation
XY seems to be a fan favorite series of all the Pokémon series
With XY generally being seen as one of the best from a more ranking critic review viewpoint (look at IMDb scores for example)
So why is there such a divide among fans?
1) It gets so much loved it’s hated
It’s a weird yet normal reaction
There are definitely some fans out there that praise it so much that it can get annoying
Some actually use it to put down other series which is definitely not good
And some it’s the only thing they mention which over-saturates it in the grand scheme of Pokémon discussion which can also be annoying when out of 15 posts 12 are XY stuff you can get sick of it
2) XY is the only or one of the few watched by some
I’m constantly surprised by the number of fans that have only watched XY or started with XY
Clearly, some of it is an age thing, when they were in that general age range XY was on TV so it was naturally their first series
But also for one reason or another the way XY was presented got a lot more people wanting to check it out, I don’t know for sure but apparently XY brought in a lot of viewers and it can’t be just the regular wave of kids watching Pokémon for the first time
I mention this as people are then using XY as their basis whether it’s the constant comparison to SM specifically the art style or that they never watched Original series to DP/BW so it has that affect that when you’re watching something older some things don’t look as good since it is older especially for younger viewers
3) Social Media
Social Media been around for awhile before XY in 2013
But around that time was also a pretty big boom as stuff like YouTube were getting to the point that people were YouTubers, Vine was alive, twitter and Facebook were still the general share thoughts platforms and etc
So when clips from this time are shared they were more widespread then before and since it’s more modern its less likely to be gone
For example it’s hard to get stuff from OS-DP as it was just the byproduct of being older
Not everything was digitized, and some of the stuff that was is now gone whether a website taken down, or copyright on YouTube video etc as not everything was just on Serebii and Bulbapedia
Where XY was at a time that was fortunate enough that stuff is hard to lose and copyright was better understood and etc so it was able to build up views and likes and etc
Like I saw a vid where someone who never watched Pokemon was reacting to Ash-Greninja like there's something there
4) Miscellaneous stuff
General stuff that some like but I don’t want to say is a main reason or is big enough to give its own point
Visuals: people loved how XY looked, the art style plus the animation and 3D camera
Approach: generally the most shonen of the Pokémon series and when stuff like shonen is a big hit amongst a similar demographic it gets love for it like Ash being more “mature”, him being more of a leader, etc
Romantic side plot: Serena's crush on Ash at least from what I noticed has its own community with shipping, and I can see it bringing in a lot of girl viewers as romance is a common drawing point for young girls plus it’s a general thing people can like
Preferences: some might just generally like characters like Alain over a character like Paul, which I think is just a preference thing than an objective thing, and this applies to everything naturally
5) Least amount of Problems
I have my personal thoughts on XY, some positive some negative
But I can say from a more objective/critics point of view XY has the least problems of any series
XY consistently looked great, had what feels like the least amount of “filler” episodes, had at least solid arcs for Ash Clemont Serena and Bonnie, decent rivals, a supporting cast, etc
As even though I don’t think Sun and Moon had problems it definitely got backlash from the art style change alone let alone the formula change
BW was a soft reboot so it had a negative response from existing fans
JN had production issues that had them have recaps and such plus the co-lead with Goh stuff
So when you can point to negatives for other series that don’t really apply to XY it’s easy to hold it higher
It’s like saying they all have 5 positives but XY has like 1 negative while the others have 3+ negatives. It doesn’t matter about the positives as the negatives weigh them down more
Like even though it has its weaker points if I have to grade it XY doesn’t go below a 5/10 in anything (plot, character, pacing, etc) where you can say some series do fall below that line
Like I personally don’t care for the Team Flare Arc after the league but I wouldn’t say it was bad in the slightest
So my conclusion?
XY was definitely the right place-right time series
The social media boom, plus the general improvements XY made from BW gave it a lot of fans
So now whether they think it genuinely or they just have nostalgia for it, have XY rated higher and like to talk about it regardless of how much it’s already been discussed
It’s similar to how I remember Original Series
Doesn’t matter what May, Dawn, Paul, etc would do people would still bring up Misty Gary Charizard and etc
And it’s the same with XY, doesn’t matter what the Alola Gang, Iris, Cilan, Goh, or Chloe, they get compared to Clemont Bonnie, Serena, etc, and even Ash gets compared to his XY version
But since XY is more recent and for the most part OS fans aren’t online like that they get the status of being the most vocal and etc
As someone who was older when XY came out and wasn’t around for all the YouTube and etc
They do hype up XY a little too much
But at the same time, I do get the dislike or neutralism for SM and JN, and BW
As people can not like certain aspects of XY but none really got or deserve the backlash the others did so they look better as a result of not having that issue
As if hypothetically all Pokémon series in a vacuum are 7/10’s
Things like BW’s soft reboot make it a 5/10 to those fans for example and this can be applied to all series even XY but if others have more visible issues then they get bogged down more which results in making XY look better
To XY’s credit is a feat in itself but having the least number of issues doesn’t mean any issues which are where a lot of anti’s and people that just get tired of it come from as some do genuinely think XY is perfect
Overall XY is a solid series it came out at the right time when everything surrounding it was more controversial and it was able to explode in popularity thanks to the internet
Both sides are justified as XY has its good points but the fact that it’s seemingly the most discussed and regarded series does seem a bit excessive and I sympathize with those that don’t like it for that or just don’t like that series in general

I agree with you 100% about Andrew being the one who needs to be the Spiderman in Deadpool 3. BUT unfortunately andrews Spiderman isn’t in the universe of Deadpool’s marvel character and since Andrew still only belongs to Sony and Tom’s Spiderman has a dual contract with Sony & Marvel and his Spiderman being in the same universe as Deadpool’s timeline then unfortunately it’s going to be Tom. His contract still has 2 cameos in marvel movies left before he even signs on to another trilogy. I’m just hoping Sony gives Andrew one more solo movie even though it won’t be attached to marvel since his movie doesn’t have marvel characters he deserves one final movie to close out his intended trilogy
You speak the truth and I despise you for it! Joking, absolutely joking, I don’t hate you.
I did think about that a bit and for a moment, I thought Tom’s SM was Marvel because of those movies he was in, Civil War, Avengers, etc., and had my hopes up that (thinking No Way Home was Marvel) they could do what they did there and bring Andrew in. And then my brain actually decided to work and go ‘But it’s technically not Marvel.’ Doesn’t mean I can’t still hope though..
Then again, as I said before, I have no ill will towards any of it and I’m just excited to be getting a third DP movie.
As for Andrew, he absolutely deserves a third film. To me, he’s the best SM based on his acting abilities alone and I’d absolutely adore to see him on screen in his own SM movie one last time, though I am happy with the slight closure from No Way Home and would be okay if he decided to leave it there.
Not to say that the others aren’t good nor that I don’t like them because that’s preposterous, I love them all.

i feel like people over-complicate LoA so much omg. all you need to know is that your thoughts create you reality, that's it . this means that what you assume to be true is true, if you you assume something then that assumption is true not only in your kind but also in the 3d.
so for example if you just one day assumed that this teacher hates you and they're so cruel and mean and all that, that's how they will act towards you : they hate you and they're cruel and mean. they act like that just because that's how you assume they'll act. but if you assume that the same teacher likes you and is so nice and kind that's how they'll act : they like you and they're nice + kind. either way the act like this beacuse you assume that's how they act.
and manifesting is just the same as that teacher. if you assume that manifesting is hard, you never get what you want, you can't manifest anything etc that's how manifesting will be for you: hard, you never get what you "manifest" and you don't "manifest" anything. (i put manifest in quote marks because ofc you always get what you manifest duh!) + but if you assume that manifesting is easy, you always get what you want and you can manifest anything that's how manifesting will be for you: easy, always get what you manifest and you manifest anything and everything ! this is why self-concept is so important as with it your assumptions naturally change sm.
and the amazing thing is you don't even have to believe these assumptions for them to be true ! (i think i already talked in ur asks about how your subconscious mind has no eyes and all that) well it kinda relates to that.
as long as you know that your assumptions create reality or even just assume that you do, believing doesn't matter. because, your mind will still reflect it anyway just because you assumed it. (and by assume i can even just mean said to myself that i have my db eg). it can't tell if you're lying or not as it doesn't know so it has no choice but to assume it's true unless you tell it otherwise - it has no choice but to reflect your assumptions into the 3d unless you tell it otherwise eg you assume that you have your dp but then think why don't i have my dp ?
so just assume you already have it and you will have it because your desires are already yours + they've been yours since the moment you began to desire them ! 🤍
yes 100% bff thank you!!!!

༄ comforting todd anderson headcanons
pairing; todd anderson x gn!reader
warnings; mentions of anxiety, references to panic attacks
request; hey bestie:) i was looking at ur dps masterlist and since u dont have any todd content yet i decided to ask for some! maybe hcs of comforting todd when he is nervous about something/ panicking thanks:) - @mendesxruel
a/n; todd my love <33 thanks sm for the request bestie,, u are singlehandedly keeping this blog afloat <33
Tumblr media
todd has a tendency to get overwhelmed quite easily
only problem is he hates telling other people when this happens
he’d rather just deal with it on his own
and, surprise surprise, bottling up his feelings does not work well at all!
lets paint the scene
it’s exam month
everyone is currently extremely tired and stressed
so overworked from studying and homework
todd has been oddly quiet recently
he’s normally one of the quieter members of your group, sure
but he’s barely spoken for the past week
so you and the other poets are quite worried when todd doesn’t show up for dinner one day
you decide to go check on him, just to be sure everything’s alright
“i’ll be right back, i’m just gonna check on todd, save us some food”
when you reach the door to his and neil’s dorm, it’s worryingly quiet
you knock on the door and open it, shocked to see todd with red rimmed eyes on his bed
he obviously wasn’t expecting visitors
he jumps up and quickly rubs at his eyes with his fists in the hopes you’ll pretend nothing happens
even giving you a weak, watery smile and walking towards you trying to act casual
of course you don’t buy it
“oh god todd, what’s wrong?”
and that's all it takes for him to fully break down
his hands go from trembling to violently shaking
his breathing becomes broken and ragged
you're shocked for a moment before you leap into action
you grab his hands in an attempt to stop the shaking and lead him back towards his bed
whilst you ensure he sits down you grab a bottle of water from his desk and hand it over
he struggles with the cap, so you have to help him out
todd takes a few gulps, but tears are still streaming down his face
your heart breaks at how upset he looks
"am i okay to hug you?"
todd responds with a quick nod and you wrap your arms around him
he buries his head into your shoulder
you stroke his hair whilst shushing him slightly
whispering small encouragements
when he calms down a little more, you can finally talk to him
"what's got you all worked up?"
you let him ramble on about what's been bothering him
exams have him so stressed
his parents haven't been exactly helping with the amount of pressure they've been putting on him
he's convinced he's going to fail everything but english
you simply sigh and pull him further into you
"todd, you can ask us for help you know. we're your friends, we want to help you out. no matter what it is."
he smiles sadly at this and nods
"i just need a break" "that's fine! you can take a break for the next few days. then if you want, we can bring back the study group, im sure meeks and cameron wouldn't mind helping you out with anything you're struggling with. or we can just break into nolan's office and steal the test answers."
this gets a laugh out of him and you smile
"better?" "better."
you pull him up onto his feet, wiping at his eyes with the sleeve of his jumper before giving his hand a quick squeeze
"c'mon then, before you miss dinner. it's spaghetti, and you know what pitts is like."
Tumblr media
projecting onto todd to write these is actually free therapy <3 love writing for this boy sm so thank u for the request bestie!!!
taglist; @mendesxruel @thesilverskull @pretentious-strikes @lilgayn00dle @tall-my-beloved @caffeineconstellations @yer-erster

Discussing the good and bad of Pokémon Journeys: Part “Rocket Gang”
It is no secret that the handling of Rocket Gang in Journeys is quite different from how the fans and audience have come to know them. Even I have tons to say about how I feel about Rockets in this series, so let's get started!
Tumblr media
TLDR; Their handling in this series isn't exactly the best kind as it has removed one of the beloved aspects of them (having own Pokémon they bond very closely with) and is showing less often how they are RIGHTEUS evil, not evil evil. More under the cut, Journeys abverted to JN.
So. How do I begin. Let's start with saying: I am a Rocket Fan. A huge one. Ever since I started watching Pokémon couple years ago during Sun & Moon's first year, I fell in love with these buffoons, and I absolutely adored how the two bonded with their Pokémon and showcased that they're not that different from the brats, just on the villainnous side. Kojiro is a loving and caring man, Musashi has gone through lots of stuff and Nyarth has deep understanding over Pokémon's feelings due to his past experiences. Oh, Sonansu's there too, I love that blue blop so much. Honestly, the main reason I love these four so much is because they're such lovable villains who tend know what is right for their Pokémon, or other Pokémon they manage to bond with. And it was shown really well pre-SM as well.
Tumblr media
Like, one of my favourite episodes of all time for Rockets is actually JN019, and it's because of how the Rockets end up helping a Ditto/Metamon who wants to be a proper actor, but thus far tended to fail in transforming into Pokémon perfectly. Musashi, as a actress herself, really bonds with this Metamon, managed to help it perfect the transformation with the help of Kojiro, Nyarth and Sonansu, and despite having the job to pokenap Pokémon... they actually end up helping Metamon to get back its job, to make sure it doesn't have a reputation of a Rocket 'mon. And they do SUCH a good job at acting like they're not intending it.
Like, during this acting performance, they really want to get blasted off! They don't even hide it. They keep provoking Satoshi to use Pikachu's Thunderbolt to blast them off and save Metamon that way. And I just fricking love them for this asjhgsjhgfs.
But aside from this episode, there really hasn't been that many episodes focusing on this aspect of Rockets. Another good episode for them JN is JN024 thou, where Rockets are on vacation and, are NOT on their villainous acts.
Tumblr media
They're mere citizens in that episode, enjoying their free time in Sinnoh's Resort Area. And even when the brats come around, they fully ignore their need to capture Pikachu. For Sakaki-sama's orders. Akjhksajfh I just, really love how this ep managed to show that, even if they are part of Rocket Gang, it's merely their job, not who they are fully. They're not like Matori, they're not like Yamato and Kosanji- oh it's Kosaburo. They're merely doing the villainous stuff because they believe it to help make the world better. And when they're not working? They're good citizens. This was such a good episode for them because of this because it really showed that they could easily just be friends with the brats if they weren't on the opposite sides.
Tumblr media
They even helped foil Matori's team's plans on kidnapping every single Pokémon in the Resort Area and sajghsjhgf. These four really hate Matori now do they. They're on her side, but they also keep foiling her plans. Even in Sun & Moon they foiled Matori's plans to pokenap Nuikoguma, because they knew their lovely Kiteruguma mom bear would be upset. As I said before: They're villains, but they're not evil evil. They do the evil stuff for their own rightful reasons.
Now that I've discussed the reasons I love Rockets and what I've loved in JN, let's talk about what it is that makes me feel iffy about their handling in JN, one of them being the lack of own permament poketeam.
Tumblr media
In the past seasons, Rockets would always catch themselves one of their own 'mon that would willingly join their causes, and end up bonding with them deeply. In JN, this is... pretty much non-existant. We have the recurring 'mon of Kamukame/Chewtle and Morpeko, but the first one appears in such a rare rate, and latter one has been used as a... abuse comedy. When the Morpeko started following Rockets, I had hoped that it would end up bonding with the Rockets and they'd find some common ground, but so far, there's no sign of it, and Morpeko is more like a leech in their base instead of a powerful asset, and like. I feel like this was the show's way of trying to recreate Kiteruguma but with an opposite twist of it eating their rations instead of feeding them like Kiteruguma did, but it's not working as well as Mama Bear's gimmick did. At least in my opinion.
Now let me just say that, I don't really mind the Rocket Gacha machine. I feel like the concept it has is pretty cool, and seeing what kind of Pokémon Rocket Gang has managed to capture for using is super cool to witness. They also have been able to switch up it's results in unique and fun ways and seeing it sometimes fail is kinda fun and relatable to anyone who's played gacha games, sajhgfs. However, it feels like the Gacha completely replaced Rocket Quatret's ability to capture Pokémon of their own and, it hurts my soul to say it.
Tumblr media
I think one of the reasons they did this route was due to how in Sun & Moon, Musashi and Kojiro ended up leaving their 'mon behind, due to knowing that they won't like it at the Rocket Head Quarters and leaving the cozy family that is Kiteruguma and Nuikoguma. So, maybe the writers felt like the Quatret would now feel bad about capturing 'mon they would bond closely with after this, and then ending up having to send them to HQ. So in a way, I get the possible intention behind this decision. Yet it still hurts. And I feel like most Rocket Fans feel the same way.
Their writing is pretty much the same throughout the show (which imo is kind of an average, as it doesn't hit the nail the same way I came to love them in Sun & Moon or OS to DP era, or even XY and Best Wishes DA! Arc), so it doesn't make sense for me to recite every single appearance of theirs, but I really have to discuss what irritated me a lot:
So. JN059.
Tumblr media
I'll just say it straight away: I did not like how Rockets were written in this episode. At all. While their personality was spot on, their motives and actions weren't. Like... the fact that Grookey/Sarunori was a Rocket 'mon is a unique concept and I honestly like it. However, the way Sarunori ended up switching sides was so bad for me. So bad.
No. I am not one of those who think that Gou stole Sarunori from them and doesn't deserve it. No. That ain't my problem. It's more like the issue in how Rockets weren't allowed to learn more about Sarunori, bond with it, learn that it's not the one to want to join the villanous side and feels happier with Gou. The idea of the story for Rocket 'mon to switch sides is great. Excecution however is not.
Tumblr media
Like... this line where Musashi says that Sarunori needs to be sent back to HQ to be re-educated specifically ticks me off in bad way and I hate to feel ticked off like this. And this line is all because they weren't allowed to learn more about Sarunori's motives. Because the plot had to be in one episode. I feel like the motives, Rocket Gang's handling and side switching would have worked better for me, if it was a longer built arc. Sort of like how Mijumaru/Oshawott, Hikozaru/Chimchar and the likes of them were done.
And this hurts more because of JN019 where they WERE allowed to bond and perform an act of helping Metamon get back its job. These buffoons KNOW when the 'mon deserves to go to the non-villainous side. And it's all because of JN019 that I feel so strongly ticked off for this line. "We'll... ...have you re-educated". That's not what they were gonna do with Metamon. Like. God damn it.
Rockets were there when Hikozaru switched teams from Shinji to Satoshi. They came to care for the lil monkey before this switch and after this switch. They KNEW it would be better off with Satoshi, and they kept rooting for it from afar, despite constantly trying to steal it. That's their job. Same with how Nyarth comes to like the Honcho Nyabby, due to its background, and finds peace with knowing that Nyabby will find a happy life with Satoshi. All of these examples are exactly why I strongly dislike how Jn059 handled Rockets, and I so god damn wish they would have ACCEPTED that Saruroni should join Gou, but make it so that they'd have to rescue Sarunori instead of giving it to them just like that. They're not heartless.
Tumblr media
Unless this was an act from them. Which I doubt since Nyarth learns about Sarunori wanting to go with Gou late into the episode and then trying to deny it having been said??? Uuuugh. This episode really could have used more build up and different handling with Rockets.
Another option that would have made me like Sarunori's capture was if it had been some other Rockets it escaped from, like Matori Matrix or sudden return of Yamato and Kosaburo, or something else. I LIKE the idea of Sarunori being a Rocket 'mon, so I wouldn't change it. I just don't like that it was OUR beloved Rockets that had to be treating it this way.
Sigh. Now that that's out of the way. What else is there to say. Well. How would I try improving Rockets in JN? Simple: give them their own Pokémon to care for. Make them bond with more than just Chewtle. Let them have Pokémon they can bond with and show their loving side with. It's severely lacking right now and I feel like most Rocket fans are really missing this aspect a lot. Also please don't make them act like they don't understand Pokémon's feelings. They do. I'm glad that Satoshi still knows that Rockets care for Pokémon of their own and wouldn't treat them badly, but it still isn't showcased that well in JN. So I wish it would improve on that. I would also seriously love it if some of their old 'mon from past shows would come up from the Gacha Machine, as I'd imagine them being put inside there as well. It did have tons of Gulpin inside for some reason.... Sakaki, wtf.
Well. I guess there's not much else to talk about regarding Rockets. In short, I love Rockets, but I'm not happy with how they're handled in JN fully and despite there being couple really good episodes for them, and some of the episodes have excellent usage with them (like JN038 where Musashi just casually says "Evening" to Satoshi when he discovers them hiding in bushes, sajhgshfsghjf forever love that moment). I just want better handling with their righteus evil.
So. What's up next? I'm thinking about compiling a post of COTDs and supporting cast next time, which would include the likes of Kikuna, Renji, Sakuragi, family casts etc.
Tumblr media
So, thanks for reading if you got this far, hope you enjoyed it despite possibly disagreeing with me, and I hope you'll all have a fantastic day.
Til next time! Aleira, aka Smiling Performer, signing out!

For tonight’s Killing Shit With Zod, we did SM ToS, and it was mostly uneventful, up until Revan. On pull, Frenzy hit the wrong ability and yeeted herself off the edge, so I got to take the boss for a few seconds while she was res’d and brought back up to health. We all played “how many people can we blow up with HK’s grenades?” Ash died to the Stair Boss on the way up to the second floor, and we all just… walked past his corpse even though the res was definitely off cooldown (a healer did finally res him; the rest of us claimed we were trying to get into the habit of non-healers not having a res starting in 7.0). But then…
Then during the transition to third floor, Frenzy, Ash, and I were the only ones to go through the portal? Everyone else got turned around and didn’t go up, so when we engaged with Revan, it insta-killed them. So it was a tank and two dps vs Revan. This Is Fine dot jpg. We got Revan down to 9%. The Machine Core came down. Ash was taking a shit load of damage (and even though he had self heals, he wasn’t using them??). Frenzy and I were pretty much fine, but Ash died. We were up to about 45 stacks and the core was down to about 55%. The rest of the raid was like “just /stuck it.” I was like “I’m not gonna /stuck it on the Core in story mode are you kidding me.” But then Frenzy leapt into the middle. I took another probably 10% off of its health out of spite, and told them that it was under protest that I died, because I’m pretty sure Frenzy and I could have killed the Core ourselves (we both had adrenals and medpacks we still could have used).
Anyway, second attempt was much smoother, but I’m a little mad we didn’t get to find out if just a tank, a dps, and a lot of spite could kill the Machine Core in SM.
After that, we had two of our raid team out tonight, so rather than go back into Gods without them, we decided to try to get a Revan lockout for another team.
However, because my computer and/or game hate me, my lag was exceptionally bad. I couldn’t keep up with the heals on the Walkers, so I swapped to dps and Tom swapped to heal. We made it through the Walker fight, but then Underdesyncer happened. We did find out that if you have enough people dead that you’re pretty sure you’re gonna fail the cross, you can just stack underneath the boss and pass the cross (not guaranteed, but worked three times with all 8 of us up). Anyway, we wiped to Underlurker a lot before calling it.

I've seen the thread and the video on sm before. And I still don't understand what she did other than answer Qs when asked. THE SHOW did the baiting! Random people not liking Iris becoz of their deep seated racism is not on dp. And most of these clips, if not all of them, are from season 1&2. She simply stopped talking about Barry and Caitlin as a romantic ship. And she did her best and still does to be friendly with Candice. I don't get why Candice fans simply want dp to kiss up to cp when cp clearly doesn't want to be anywhere near her. It's hard to stand by some1 or speak up for them when they don't want anything to do with you. But she still tries to be friendly with her. In sdcc16 panel she was asked who she'd like to have more scenes with, she said, "I'd like more scenes with Candice we don't have much scenes together." And when the interviewer said it's nice to not have two woman fighting over a guy she also agreed said, "totally".
If she doesn't tweet about cp, cp fans go, "that racist bitch can't even bring herself to mention cp/iw". She was asked about how she get hate on sm, she could have talked about just that but she brings up how Candice gets a lot of hate and cp fans go, "is she saying the hate she gets and the hate cp get are the same!?!! That bitch". She mentions cp's name on interviews agreeing with what cp said, cp fans go, "she even mentioned cp's name that fake bitch!" She doesn't seem like a difficult or unapproachable person yet you guys still hate her. In sdcc19 in an intrvw Candice says, "I forgot, where do I work?" And she immediately said, "citizen". She's not like this in 1 or 2 inrvws. She's always approachable and open.
What's even more ridiculous is getting bombarded with hate because of a magazine cover head line she is not responsible for. Magazine editor's will go for the most controversial thing they can put in the front. They love drama because drama sells. It is no way the models area of expertise. EVERYONE from the cast was silent about sm hate from season 1-4, EVERYONE. But you guys unleashed the hell only on dp. She does not deserve to be demonized the way she has been over the years. The thread and the video is a prime example of childish blame game. Shentel or whatever her name is plays a silly game of kiss, marry, kill and she is called out for it? Emily doesn't mention Iris on an intrvw she has somehow undermined cp? And I don't think CL is more close to dp than cp but even she felt the need to defend dp because they(actors part of dctv) see what's going on. And how unnecessary and toxic it is. And the cast sees what's going on too. Candice gets called all sorts of things just for being black and it's borderline toxic, there's no going around it. But how is tearing down another woman who did nothing more than talk about what she's asked is standing against hate? You simply don't want her to talk about Barry which is crazy because like pretty much everyone on the show her story too revolves around Barry. But she did stop talking about him though thanks to cp fans. Since s4 whenever asked about the show she pretty much talks about kf and what's next for kf. But people find faults in that too! You can't claim to stand against hate towards one person while actively creating a toxic environment for another person on sm and act betrayed when someone so much so as speaks a sentence in her defence.
It's a long ask, sorry for that. But I'm just trying to make sense of all this, that's been going on for more than 6 years now. I used to only watch the show. If quarantine didn't happen I wouldn't have known just how toxic either side of this fandom is. And you wonder why the flash cast is "so boring and doesn't wanna share anything anymore".
*sigh*
We had half a mind to just ignore this but since you put all this time and effort into writing a novel to defend Danielle we figured we’d be nice and post it to see if others made it past the 3 lines that we read before we stopped. Our eyes were in danger of rolling out of our heads so we figured it was better to be safe than sorry.
As it were have you gotten this out of your system yet? Because, really, you’re wasting your time. Our opinions aren’t going to change and we doubt any of our followers minds will change either and that’s mostly because we’ve been around since the beginning and what we know isn’t based on some Twitter thread or a YouTube video. We saw it all when it happened back then and we know the ripple effect it has had even to this very day.

I USED TO BE A BEIDOU MAIN BEFORE HU TAO I CAN HELP dps beidou :: I recommend giving her the thundering fury 2pc set bcuz electro dmg bonus yum, her ascension is electro dmg bonus too so you'll get big numbers if you do a perfect counter <33 and for the other 2pc can be anything really, although my build for her was 2pc thundering fury and 2pc gladiator for a pretty long time but noblese works pretty well with dps too and and prioritize her elemental skill for talents since thats where her big number really pop ykyk support beidou :: again with the thundering fury bcuz if you're using her as a support then you're most likely using her ult and thundering fury 2pc is still really helpful :D support beidou is most likely a burst support so I would put noblese on her if I was building her as a support since noblese 2pc and beidous ult goes really well together prioritize beidous ult this time for her talents btw :D ➤ 🐚 anon <3 ill send in a different ask for your response to my long ass ramble svbdnh
DAMN THANK U FOR THE ESSAY ANON ILY

☕️ mmmm pokemon games specifically (not including spinoffs)
sorry this is late im terrible with actually answering asks. ill do this generation by generation. also this ended up very long because i have a lot of thoughts about pkmn.
gen one: okay so right off the bat im gonna say that i have a massive soft spot for gen one, considering blue was the first game i ever played. i do have a degree of nostalgia towards it which is why i can never be truly be harsh on these games. i know they're a mess of glitches and mechanics that make no fucking sense (seriously FUCK psychic types and everything they stand for) but it has a certain charm to it.
but even as a "kanto apologist" (which damien calls me) i can absolutely agree that the pandering is fucking abysmal. they're trying cater to a demographic who hasn't cared about pokemon in years and aren't going to pick up a new game just because charizard is in it. by doing this it feels like they're alienating the people who actually care, like "yeah ur support is nice but we want the genwunners to like us more than anything.
also on the topic of pandering is that their pandering is so half-assed too. all of this gen one content and not one shred of love for my boys victreebel or cloyster? bro i hate it here.
gen two: i dont really have that much to say here tbh. i have no fond memories of it at all considering i only played through gold once right before hgss came out. i can say that i appreciate all of the bullshit from gen one that it fixed but i have issues with johto as a region that ill elaborate on when i talk about the remakes.
gen three: honestly i never cared much for this gen. i played it quite a bit growing up but it's always been whatever for me. a lot of it just feels kind of.....bland for me. i really don't know what to say because it leaves me feeling conflicted. there's nothing bad about these games that sticks out like a sore thumb but they just don't do it for me, ya know?
i do appreciate frlg for shedding a much better light on kanto though.
gen four: okay so i'll fully admit that the sinnoh games are my childhood faves and are still my faves now but im not letting nostalgia completely cloud my judgement on this.
honestly? i think pokemon peaked with platinum. dp had their problems for sure and some of those still carried over to platinum but the scale in which platinum told its story feels so much grander than any pokemon game that came before or after it. i absolute adore the sinnoh mythos and i only want dp remakes just so it can get expanded upon, i could care less about any actually gameplay from it. ive said this before but you cannot make the god of pokemon and not do anything with it.
as for hgss, i have very mixed feelings about this one but not in the same way gen 3 made me feel because i do have genuine problems here. ive talked before about them but i just cannot stress how bad the level and pokemon distributions are. how the fuck can you make brand new pokemon for your johto region and not put them in fucking johto?
like these games are fine ig. i never cared about the walking pokemon mechanic but it literally feels like people only praise this game as the best because of that one thing that has no bearing on the actual game itself. you can like these games all you want, i still enjoy parts of them myself, but calling them the best is a huge reach.
gen five: right off the bat im gonna say that i do love the gen five games so nobody thinks im being overly critical or anything. i love the aesthetic of these games, i ADORE the pokemon here and they're some of the most fun pokemon games to play through. it's the story and characters (with the exception of n i will absolutely give credit where it is die there) that throw me for a loop.
i feel like whenever i praise the story or characters im just following the crowd here. i don't know if im just very stupid (i definitely am very stupid) or what but none of it felt as powerful as people claim it is for me personally. maybe i should just pay more attention but i honestly don't know. im definitely not saying theyre bad or anything i just in all hobestly dont get the (very sudden) hype.
uhhh i can't say much about bw2 because i haven't beaten it since it came out but i remember liking hugh and it made iris a champion so i remember them being good on those two things alone.
gen six: hohohohoho here we go. tbh i don't even know what i can say about xy that hasn't already been said. like gen one might be a huge mess looking back on it but at least it had character. xy introduced a few pokemon that i really liked and some amazing shiny hunting methods that should definitely return but that's the most i can say in terms of praise.
i dont think pokemon has ever gotten this boring before, and that's speaking as someone who clocked over 300 hours into my x save file. nothing has life (which in hindsight is ironic considering xerneas is the god of life) and i hate the way mega evolution was handled so much. i really don't know what else to say because everyone has already said what i want to but i think this has been pokemon's lowest point so far.
oras once again made hoenn complicated for me. they made hoenn somewhat interesting for me in a way that didnt capture me in the originals. i don't think they're stellar but ive seen people call these the worst ones and....why. i get that the originals are special to a lot of people and that they feel like oras did them injustice but honestly i would oras over the originals because they're just more fun for me.
gen seven: it made popplio. 10/10.
okay so i can understand why the very slow start and unskippable long cutscenes threw a lot of people off but i just don't understand so much of the hate it around other things. again i see people proclaiming it as the worst and you can see it as that from a gameplay element, but the story fucking slapped ass and i don't think amybody can or should deny that. maybe i just feel very passionately about them because they're very personal for me in helping me through a rough time in my life but i just also dont see why everybody is so mad at these games sometimes.
the fact that sm mean so much to me makes usum's entire existence hurt so much more. like wow i love abuse apologism: the game thank you sooooo much gamefreak! /s
aside from ultra wormhole jumping, my baby dusk lycanroc and the new ultra beasts i dont care for anything new usum brought. it feels like it back peddled so much by completely ruining lillie's character by attempting to make lusamine likable when the damage from the first games was already done. i hate usum they're the only pokemon games i can state that i hate. i don't know how you can take sm's well-done albeit flawed blueprints, take out everything that was good and only leave stuff that either doesn't matter or is actively harmful.
also let's go pikachu and eevee exist too idrc
gen eight: ive already spoken my piece on swsh but im gonna be more clear here. i dont think swsh is inherently bad and i can still have fun with them. i dont think the issue here lies with the cut pokedex. i could honestly care less about that and i always figured we would get to this point. the issue lies with nintendo and tpci pushing for yearly releases, forcing the devs to make yearly subpar games. i can think of so many ways they can remedy this situation: taking longer times between releases, hiring more staff at gamefreak or even splitting developments for different projects between multiple different studios. i hope that the reported low moral at gamefreak at swsh's releases is enough of a wake up call for change but that could just be me being optimistic.
i am SO sorry this ended up as long as it is but i have a lot of opinions and not enpugh willpower to keep my mouth shut

Pros and Cons of each Pokémon series
Tumblr media
OS: Great world-building but permanently hurt the foundation of the series with its adaptation of the game mechanics
AG: Established a better foundation for characters with plots and growth and such but lack of standout factor will always make it the forgotten middle child of OS and DP
DP: Has some of the best aspects of Pokémon in general like rivals and characterization but also has some of the worst handling of other aspects like pacing and balancing
BW: In a vacuum is one of the better series to start with due to its more modern take on OS with numerous improvements, but in reality, it’s the middle series and it's being treated like a new beginning hurts it as it can’t escape that aspect o resetting things while also trying to keep the past alive
XY: On paper did a lot pretty well, from pacing to presentation but it also felt shallow at times as the depth wasn't truly there for some of the decisions the series made making it feel like the pretty but shallow stereotype of the shows
SM: Had pretty excellent character work, but the change in formula does make a lot of things feel extra instead of vital in the grand scheme of things
JN: it did a good job of going through all regions and giving the characters reasons and purpose to be there but a lot of past aspects people want and expect fell short such as not as much Galar or Chloe not being a true third member
HZ: (still early so these are just based on the 22 episodes I've watched) Can feel the anime team has now a proper feel of the world and characters but also the anime has less of a motivating factor to watch as the goals lend well to keeping the anime going Roy’s and Friede’s goals are like Ash’s Pokemon Master goal, and Liko is in her Chloe not completely sure yet period but the driving factor to keep coming back week to week is weak so far
I stick with a previous statement I've made where each series is like a 7/10 just focusing on different things where depending on your preferences and such can like one series more than the other
If you like action more then you would like XY more, if you like character building more you might like SM more etc
Something I don't think people have said much before is that I think OS, BW, and XY are great for people not familiar with Pokemon previously whereas AG, DP, and JN are great for those who know the history of the series and even games
This means a fan of like 20 years would hate BW but love DP because of the soft reset and following DP where Ash was at a high but someone new would appreciate BW more than a DP as DP doesn't welcome new people as much as a BW
I like all series but have just been seeing more discourse specifically around XY again online and felt that I should post my thoughts as I do like each series but each has its own problems
Like if want to just relax and have fun with the show I would put on OS or SM, action DP or XY, Want to get a concise viewing of a standard Ash journey BW, watch Ash win AG or JN, or something new with no cost worries HZ

I feel like all I’m seeing in the Pokemon Home discussion are the kinds of extremes I hate, people who simply get mad assuming the worst and people who get mad at the people who get mad, and try to shame people even if they’re just being reasonably critical. So, do we have a problem? Yes. Not having every Pokemon available in a Pokemon game is bad because the very selling point of Pokemon is being able to choose any combination of Pokemon to make your own story. Seeing new ones and gaining new favourites is great of course, but a big part of the fun, especially long term, is having those new Pokemon blend into the world that's been expanding for over two decades, using both your new and old favourites together, seeing how the older Mons have changed with the addition of new moves and items, etc. Also the idea that ANY Pokemon can be someone's favourite and anything can be used. Even if I can't technically catch them all in the game naturally I can just make up my own playthrough where I have a Mew as a starter or something via trade. I can CHOOSE (Now, currently this doesn’t actually effect me much personally because I don’t play competitive Pokemon anymore, I will probably just move on from Sword/Shield as soon as I complete the story unless there’s a fun after game thing like Battle Frontier or the World Tournament, but on PRINCIPLE, for the sake of those fans that still do play Pokemon the way I used it, I think this is important). Can the problem be fixed? I assume so, either with an update to Home or in the next games, be it DP remakes or SwSh extensions. If they go with the former this may not end up differing much from the waiting period after XY’s and SM’s releases where not every Mon was available either due to Bank not being out yet. But we don’t know that. All we have been told currently is that some Pokemon will not be available. This is not the same as the Bank situation, I’m giving Gamefreak the benefit of the doubt right now but there IS reason for concern, based on their actual words. Is the cause of the problem understandable? Yes. Making new Pokemon games with the current release schedule will only get more difficult over time as the amount of existing Pokemon increases and the hardware for the games gets more complex, we ALREADY saw this effect the series’ quality in a big way with Diamond and Pearl, and with the Switch the jump in technology is bigger than ever before. The developers are only human, I’m sure they’re doing their best with what time they have, and I don’t want them to overwork themselves for my enjoyment, of course not. Can the problem be avoided in the future? Depends how far Gamefreak’s willing to go. Delaying games is not an option because of the anime, cards and merch. Less frequent games should be possible, make generations last longer, skip the “third” versions, take more break years. The anime would have some adjusting to do but if that’s what it takes for the games to be the best they can be, then I say do it. That would probably mean less profit though, I doubt a single Pokemon game would make up for the sales of many no matter how polished it was, and during a quiet period in terms of news and hype merch would sell less as well. So, will the franchise have to die over the pressure of its current schedule or will Gamefreak bite the bullet and take action beforehand. Maybe they’ll surprise me with something totally different. So yeah, there is a problem, you are allowed to be concerned. But the problem is based on business practices, be respectful for the developers. And the solutions to the problem aren’t anything unthinkable and I’m sure Gamefreak is THINKING about the future of their franchise and their fans, so there is reason to remain optimistic~

twittercom/jendeukienini96/status/1080943552153223169 please do a quick analysis on this?
ok
1. its not stupid if you know anything about econ lol ystocks fluctuate under a lot of different circumstances ALL THE TIME. its all temporary so it doesnt matter to the companies. as long as in the end, the stocks rise again / other benefits overweight fall of stocks. e.g bp / ji gets more well known, people talk about them, they achieve whatever agenda they had when they set up scandals (you can’t disprove they have other agendas)
2. bold of you to know what jni would and would not do. as if you are in her brain. idols don’t always have complete control over their lives / careers. if the company wants her to do it, they will compromise with her. e.g reward system, common sense. and how do you expect bb to protect their junior, is that even proof… lol nice try. like what you want them to do, point a gun at yg’s face and be like DONT MAKE HER ‘DATE’ SOMEONE SHE HATES? bb don’t own her and they probs don’t care to that extent. 
3. aura really? i can’t disprove you, but how are you 100% sure its because of jni. maybe ji’s sister may have another baby? maybe ji found he will have a solo project, maybe ji found out he has subunit. maybe hes getting another dog. if you can’t disprove me, your aura point thing is not consolidate proof neither. and if i am completely honest, anyone can claim to see auras
4. no one even confirmed ji got jni presents from hawaii. it has already been debunked that jni went to hawaii with yg artists before and one of yg’s staff or idols bought a towel that has the exact same pattern as her magnet. probs got from the same shop. and ji was holding such a big bag are you telling me all he got for her is a small ass useless magnet. therefore have we seen the present? no. theres also ig live showing ji went shopping, and the shopping bags were right at the seats behind him. chances are he just happened to be photographed by in at a random carpark holding his shopped items then dp assumed he gifted jni shit. 
5. yeah exactly why would jni and ji risk losing fans and go on a date without sufficient disguise, =they would lose fans and exactly it’s controversial. your point is correct. ohhh wait which side are you on. 
6. yg and sm are rivals but they can collab when situation calls. yg x sm is not PERSONAL, its not childs play its businesss. and yg cannot use any guy artist from his company because no group is established or mature or old enough to not crumble these dating scandal pressure, esp compared to ekso.
6.5 lmao yg hates the ‘idea’ of his artist dating sm artist? not if it benefits them. i am not looking upon any groups just stating facts, but winxer’s career still haven’t peaked, they still have quite a lot of room for growth, hence yg wont risk having them with jni bc they will lose fans. besides, the impact will be bigger if they use ji because wow sm artist wow he was caught before wow hes crop top sexy. 
7. the camera there or not doesn’t make a difference, your point is insignificant
8. block me, you are delusional to think that media play doesnt exist in this world. is the industry some fairyland to you where idols will stop scandals because they oh so care about their juniors (lol sorry i just had to), real life is full of conspiracies. even marz who worked at sm and a lot of experts/staffs in the industry can tell you, fake couples for pr / to cover scandals, happens all the time in most entertainment industries. hell hollywood can even fake marriage and spread fake engagement news.  
9. because dispatch fucked up lol. also, fansites dont just close down because their idols start dating… there are A LOT of fansites for ships that are obviously not real. and exactly, companies couldve paid to cover jxk as well why didn’t they, bc its a set up and meant to be in public
also please don’t confuse mediaplay as media wanting to brew things up, mediaplay’s def is when companies / some parties uses media to control the mass / spread false info to achieve something.
tbvvh its abit weak anon im ‘upset’ you linked me tea
easy took me 10 mins top

mattfoggy hcs, straight from the bastard empire sorry these all read like shitepostes(L O N G post under cut you’ve been warned)
WTNV au:
nightvale is just populated by like. vigilantes and other poewered people and foggy shoes up one day like. hey anyone need a lawyer? and the whole town falls in love w him
MURDERDOCK IS KEVIN
matt does radio and talks about foggys perfect hair and perfect teeth and foggy calls in like "heh, thanks dude, but aren't you like blind?" and matt shuts the call off immediatley
everybody knows matt is daredevil because he makes wink wink nudge nudge comments about it like 'ah. it appears that an entity has appeared near the dog park. castle appears to be on the scene now, and...ok, he's got a gun. i cant do anything about that, but my pal (noises of him scrambling and obviously knocking things over) daredevil might be able OKHERESTHEWEATHER" and it cuts off and like. he shows up 5 seconds later to kick frank in the face for using lethal measures AGAIN
EVERY TIME IT CUTS TO THE WEATHER AND THEN CUS BACK AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED ITS JUST MATT. like. breathing just a little heavier than normal into the mic like. 'so it appears uh. the issue has been resolved thanks again to daredevil and his pal moon knight. such a shame i had to cower under my desk while the weather was on. ok goodnight'
the funky thing abt nightvale in this au is that it's basically just like. new york from 616 but foggy's like. from our earth so he's like HWAT THE FUCK AND AHIT IS GOING ON IN HERE ON THIS DAY AND WHY CANT I LEAVE he gets kidnapped by super villains on like his second day in town and immediatley regrets every life choice he's ever made
matt works at nightvale radio by day and conviently cuts to the weather every time something comes up so sometimes there's like. 7 half hour weather broadcasts a day and the townspeople just. humor him
foggy falls in love with matt after figuring out after .5 seconds that he's daredevil and he saved him from a bunch of baddies on like his second day and matt compliments him on the radio like every day and yeah they're fuckin good ok assorted stupid college hcs: matt and foggy like to chill in each other's beds. foggy doesn't notice that often because matt moves back b4 he gets back and matt pretends not to notice but  like. he can smell foggy was there. foggy. stop napping in this bed you're making my sheets smell like you, foggy, i KNOW they're silk and i know you think you're getting away with it but you're NOT,
matt, coming back into the dorm after being out for the day: foggy are you laying on my bed foggy, sitting up straight: nah pal. just sitting on the end for a minute hehe. just had to rest the old joints matt, knowing DAMN well that he was lying down a second ago and he's obviously lying but not being able to say anything; haha ok. move
hrnnn matt knows foggy is gay long before he tells him because he catches him in a lie about who he was out with but he can't say anything and like. he knows foggy is scared to tell him but he doesn't know how to bring it up and he's like. i want him to know he can trust me but i don't know how to tell him i know please foggy
foggys heart goes a mile a minute anytime the subject of being gay comes up around matt and matt wants to yell at him that it's OK and he doesn't care but his hints that he's fine with it seem to fly right over foggys head and so one day he gets so fed up with trying to convince foggy he's chill with gay people he just kisses him. wig
hrnnn. matt doesn't like the snow because it messes with his senses and he can't see but he can't say that to foggy so he just says he doesn't like the cold and foggys like "yeah doofus you weigh like three pounds you're skin and bone compared to me smh" and insists on cuddling him every time he sees matt get like That bc he thinks he's just chilly and it's. oddly comforting to matt because yeah. nobody really Holds him like that, and he Is Cold, and foggy is Warm,
matt gets Very touchey around people he's close with and so when he gets close with foggy he puts his arm around him a lot, rests his head on his shoulder, holds his arm even when they're not going anywhere, etc. foggys heart speeds up every time but matt just assumes that's what people hearts do when that happens because he doesn't really do that with anyone else and hey, he's happy when he does it and his heart maybe spikes a little too, but then he gets someone else's arm to lead him when foggys sick one week and their heart stays the exact same, what's up with that? so then he starts paying attention to all the people on campus, and the touching doesn't usually make the hearts go wild, but, well. matt 'sees' it happens and he's like HaHa, See, This is A Thing, and then he realizes that the people that have it happen to them? they're couples. and he just. freezes because first of all, Foggy- and at him- an- and second, his heart ALSO does a thing, so-
heres a rEALLY stupid unrelated au/hc i got after hearing a friends disater story hfdjhskja matt goes on a blind (hehe) date with a girl and it's pretty much a disaster, it turns out she brought her friend who is also meeting a guy at the same place, and like. she's obviously incredibly wack she says blind people are god's mistake and stupid shit like that so matt gets up halfway through their meal to go sit in the bathroom for 20 minutes while he thinks of an excuse to leave? and eventually a guy comes in and he's like 'uh hey, dude, you in here? your date grabbed her friend and left so we're both dateless now, thats a relief for me and unless you're just having incredibly bad bowel movements i think it's pobably one for you since you Have been in here for like half an hour uh im foggy by the way' and then they go back out and sit together and talk about how wack that fuckin was and like. inadvertent date
hey i can talk a lot of shit about how matt falls asleep on foggy but. sometimes foggy falls asleep on or next to or with matt and matt goes !!!! and he does not move and then he eventually falls asleep with foggy head on his shoulder and his head on foggys and when FOGGY wakes up and realizes matts still there and is ALSO asleep he doesn't move and eventually falls back asleep and then it's just like. waiting until the time aligns that they're both awake at the same time because neither wants to move and wake the other send tweet
SOULMATE AU:
foggy looks up from his college bed, sees matt, and suddenly EVERYTHING is fucking rainbow and he's like 'oh fuck. oh shit. wait. this is a dude' and matt's like 'is everything ok my guy?' because foggy's like. >:O and of course he has no idea because he's blind but foggy doesnt realise this and for a hot minute he;s like "OH FUCK. ITS ONE OF THOSE RARE OCASIONS WHERE HES PERFECT FOR ME BUT I'M NOT FOR HIM," and is about to s o b before he's like wait a fucking minute
yknow the au where like. the first words you hear from your soulmate are marked on your skin at birth? foggy's are 'excuse me', absolutley common, a chance meeting, and he stops jumping every single time he hears them after age 8 when he realises just how many times that phrase is said. matt's are 'yeah, who're you looking for,'  but he doesnt remember that, there's no constant reminder of it since he's blind, the nuns wouldn't tell him, the kids made up childish shit like 'poopoo', and stick DEFINITLEY wouldnt fucking tell him because hes stick and hes an asshead and eventually matt stops asking and caring. it takes WEEKS for after they meet for foggy to ask matt about his words and matt just says 'oh yeah, i dont remember. here" and shows foggy and when he sees them he's like. 'hm. sounds familiar' and forgets about it untill like two years later theyre drunk and talking about the first time they met and matt's like 'yeah you asked like 'who'm i looking for and then panicked because i was blind' and foggy's brain just like. short circuits for a whole ass minute and then when it clicks he just goes. "yOU"
TRANS MATT:
matt realises when he's still in the orphanage that mayhaps he hates being not a dude and haha! hes not gonna fucking come out to catholics he knows about That. he tries to tell stick, around the time their closest, and FUCK STICK he refuses to call him anything else or support him becaise stick is a peace of fuck shit FUCK STICK so that scars matt from coming out for a DAMN while so like. when he goes to college he introduces himself to everyone as matt and emails his proffesors like. 'hello please my name is redacted on your forms please call me matt its uh. a nickname' and he's not like. out to anyone but matt is close enought to his deadname that most people don't question it. foggy does, though, a little while after they meet, and matt is so fed up with not telling people and being called the wrong pronouns he just goes 'i want to be a guy ok' and goes absolutley APESHIT when foggy's like 'oh, cool. do you want me to use he pronouns for you' because wait. people are...ok sometimes? and matt's like. about to cry 
 alternatley: matt says "I don't wanna be a girl." and foggy goes "oh hey are you trans? same hat!" and then foggy tells matt like. binding tips and shit and theyre Good ok
deadpool kills transphobes, sm n dd just fucking beat the SHIT out of them in a back alley and like. they let DP know where they are but whatever happens happens :D
elektra, impaling two transphobes onto the side of a building with her knives: matthew, i know you can hear me, why
one day elektra sees matt has dumped a guy on her roof and just. sighs and goes back inside and matt waits for like 15 minutes before halfheartedly picking up the dude and dropping him off at franks.
matt dropped them off at nats One Time and she went apeshit and hunted down like 20 more of them.
foggy, holding a bat: cmon matt let me kill ONE matt: 'fine but if you get caught im not going to be your lawyer.'
INTO THE DEVILVERSE AU:
earth 14512/TRN700 (peni parker’s universe) matt murdock has a robot seeing eye dog who's also a vigilante
hddjdsjdhdn they all show up to earth 6's foggy and he just. sighs and all the devils start crying because He Is Here
hmm ok. canonically we know nothing about miles's matt but we know he exists and is known figure because miles knows of him but doesn't know he's daredevil i'm Prefty Sure so like. i'm gonna say he's just a successful lawyer who has radarsense but never got yoinked away from the orphanage by stick and never got training so like. hemndhdjsjnow the QUESTION is who finds that matt because there's a Very Different outcome depending on if like. murderdock meets him first or the matt from hobopeters universe does
hmm. murderdock comes in first like gwen does but doesn't out himself as competent w like swords and shit. but he OH HES THE OPPOSING FORCE FOR UH A COURT CASE MATT IS IN AND MATT HAS NO IFEA HOW SIMILAR THEY LOOK BECAUSE HES BLIND HRNNNNNHSHDHDHDJ and then matt from HP's universe comes in like HEY YOURE ME RIGHT. what the FUCK i need the laws in this dimension STAT and murderdock ':"sees" him and is like ah fuck. my goose may be uhhh cooked
ok mileses matt is like 'so what brought y'all here??? hhh????  and murderdock sighs and goes well my boss who's not really my boss from MY universe is doing something stupid here and opened a dimensional portal and it could maybe tear the multiverse apart which i guess i'm not stoked about' and matt's like 'who's your boss?' and murderdock begrudgingly says 'wilson fisk' and matt immediatley goes >:O because he's CONSTANTLY defending people who were injured as a result of what fisk and his company do
anyways. matt immediatley rushes to foggys because "foggys my partner, he's helped me deal with fisk, he knows him, he can help," and he swings open the door and like. one of two things happens actually either A: foggy is like matt. MAATT. AHAT IS GOING ON WH. WHY IS THERE A TALKING DEER WEARNING SPANDEX WHO CLIMBED THROIGH MY WINDOW MATT PLEASE HE SAYS HES Y O U or like. matt walks in and deerdevil is playing pattycake with robodog and daredevil noir is incessantly flirting with foggy and when matt comes in foggys like 'hey. i don't know what's going on but i think i'm trading my best friend'
murderdock is like...the cool college student who tells freshies about weed murderdock: so, you don't know how to fight right  matt: no??? i'm blind??? md: but you can kinda see right. matt: yeah like a radar kinda md: normal blind people can't do that you know matt: they wHAT md: you can listen to heartbeats if you try hard enough. you can tell when people are lying matt: i can W H A T md: yeah. what me to teach you how to kill a man matt: W H AT NO IM A L A W Y E R WH
hrnnn the matts in this universe push our matt away to stay with foggy because he doesn't deserve 2 die and you KNOW every matt pushes people away but foggy is like. matt i know you tried it's ok i lov you buddy and he's like HRGGHHHH FUNCK YOU and makes foggy tell him stories untill he can distinguish lies and hide in a place around their office untill matt can like. find him instantly and training montage shit you feel me and he rolls up to the collider in his black pjs like "hello my fellow devil men. i hear you all have no plan. well. i don't either but i'm here" and one matt is like. how did you go-OH YOU DID IT and all the mats high five and cry a littlethey're still reluctant to let matt come help but they're all like. "we're all depressed and suicidal anyways we all have big guilt and if we didn't let him i lnOW he's gonna have big guilt forever he can stay"
THE PENUMBRA PODCAST AU:
foggy is a private eye, kinda depressed a lil bit, and he works w his secretary karen who helps him with tech and stuff because he is god awful at all that 
"mike whatevermaggiesmaidennameis" is an occult specialist from dark matters agency assigned by an agent natasha of dark matters to help him with his current case. 
foggy does NOT want to do this with any damn occultist or whatever the hell but before he can escape mike shows up and god DAMN is he charming and catches him before he can climb out the window, so. that's that for introductions. anyways, hijinks, elektra is cassandra, if you care listen to the murderous mask, anyhoo foggy stars to notice something is kinda weird about matt but brushes it off. they finish investigating and retrieve an important artifact.
it's cold, mike says. sorry dude, all the places near here are closed, foggy says. is your place? mike asks. oh, says foggy they go back to foggys place and maybe make out a little bit, but foggy realizes oh shit, mike just tried to steal the keys to my safe where i stored the artifact, shit, and plaxces him under arrest before he can do anything, and calls the cop cops.
they come to take mike away, and minutes later foggy finds a note, scrawled INCREDIVLY messily, in his pocket. "sorry," it says, "i wasn't tricking you about anything i said, and i meant everything i did. -matt murdock ps. check around, say, X avenue. you may have to do a bit of cleanup." when foggy checks cameras that overview there, he find the officers that took murdock from his apartment hogtied together, and sees their clothes strewn on the ground - forming letters - with love. their car is gone. PODCAST AU:
matt listens to podcasts a lot right and so foggy is like hmm mayhaps this is a good idea. but the type of podcasts they listen to differs so incredibly like matt listens to serial and the wildest one he listens to is probably judge john hodgman whereas foggy listens to shitpost podcasts like mbmbam and can i pet your dog foggy keeps referencing mbmbam around matt because he just assumes that he listens to it and matt is so confused every time and one day foggy says "damn matt you're really horny for this one huh" and matt just snaps and says FOGGY WHAT DO YOU M E AN
so then they are like oh shit you're not listening to the good ones. no YOURE not listening to the good ones. solution?  listen together which means sharing earbuds which means sitting next to eachother on small college bed which means????? cuddling
also eventually they decide fuck it. let's make our own podcast and they combine the mbmbam and jjh format so they get questions and do goofs and stuff and then give actual legal advice but sometimes foggy will be like "ok. here's what you do. you need a cat? go into the pet shelter and take one. what are the gonna do beat you up with their cat toys? didn't think so." and matt starts crying because "Fo g g y WE ARE LAWYERS I KNOW YOURE GOOFING BUT THATS ILLEGAL FOGGY YOI CANT TELL OUR LISTENERS TO GO DO CRIME"
COFFE SHOP AU:
matt has a caffeine addiction and constantly comes to foggys coffee shop and orders one black coffee every morning and foggy eventually is like. hey buddy. do you EVER drink ANYTHING F U N EVER
matts like...no...i need coffee as strong and dark as my soul... and foggys like ok edglelord. wait up i'm about to change your life
foggy makes him a latte that's just a little bit caramelly but not too sweet and he's like here. drink this. no charge you deserve to live a little. also here's your boring edgy coffee you still have to pay me for that one. matt tries it and he's like hmm. not bad, but just not. Good and foggy is like wow fuck you. i'm going to find a good drink for you that isn't this hell water so every morning matt comes in and foggy gives him a black coffee and a free Fun and Cool coffee on the house
matt always is polite even when foggy can tell he DESPISES what foggy made but he's not going to stop untill he finds something god damn it matt
ok anyways they start meeting up more. matt starts taking his breaks in the coffee shop and and foggy hmmm...always seems to have a shift off when matt comes down..hmm. coincidence....hmmm....theo suffers for him by covering all his shifts when matt comes in and he's like well, actually fuck work
eventually foggy is like hey dude. do you wanna test my drinks before they go on the menu or help me perfect my recipes and shit you have a good toungie right (matt goes apeshit, because fuckin FOGGY YOU CABT SAY THAT) but he's like haha yeah. that'd be fun. haha
and then foggy finds out matt is INCREDIBLE at baking when he hands him a cookie and matt goes. hmm. too much flour add a fourth a cup less and a pinch more of saltand he's like??? bitch. i'd like to see you do better. and then matt does
so basically every day foggy closes up a little earlier and lets matt in and they dick around in the kitchen and bake and make coffee and foggys shop gets more and more popular because hey this already really good joint just started selling the most BALLER carrot cAke waht the fucké
anyways fall comes around and foggy is like GUES WHATT ITS TIME FOR WHITE GIRL DRINKS TRY THIS and he gives matt a pumpkin spice latte and matt is like. •.• THIS IS IT. THATS THE ONE
and foggy starts crying MATT PLEASE YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. PKEASE MATT, MATT I CANT ADD PSL YEARROUND BECAUSS YOURE A BASIC WHITE BITCH MATT
he bullies foggy into keeping the latte on the menu by threatening to stop helping him bake and foggy is SO OFFENDED, on behalf of good taste everywhere, matt, please,
anyways foggy continues rags on matt for only liking the shittiest fucking drink god damn it matthew fucking hell i make you 3 billion and THIS is the one you pick you disaster and matt is like haha shut up. stoopid
foggy doesn't, and you can guess where this be headed because i'm gay and soft,
matt kisses him and foggys like. ?????????? and matt goes AH FUCK. I COULDNT THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO GET YOU TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH SORRY. GUESS ILL GO and foggy throws cookie dough at him and drags him back over because he's not leaving fuck that. fuck you. and then they're happy and domestic the end
wait i lied matt opens a pro-bono firm in the back of foggy's shop and he gives all his clients freshly baked dessert and coffee and he's so good at being a lawyer and foggy becomes so good @ running his shop that customers keep coming and they're the Cute Gay Couple everyone knows abt and loves
ACCIDENTAL (?) KISSING:
SO. there are so many god damn moments foggy nearly fucking breaks and smooches matt out of sheer unbridled uwu soft feelings. SO MANY. when they win their first mock trial together and matt looks so FUCKING happy and he tells foggy how good they work as a team and foggy is about to lose his mind but he just goes. 'haha yeah' and gives matt a fist bump they finish taking the bar: matt's had to take it in a seperate room, stupid blind accommodations. he finishes first because OF COURSE HE DOES HE'S MATT MURDOCK and the second foggy finishes and leaves the room he sees matt there and he's filled with so many emotions he's about to go apeshit but he manages to contain them JUST enough not to make out with matt on the spot but gives him the tightest fucking hug and matt's like "ok buddy! love you too! please dont break my ribs!" and foggys too happy to notice matt forgot to flinch like he didnt know foggy was coming
Foggy gets the sign to matt and he can tell how fuckin stoked matt is and all he can think about is how grateful he is that the two of them get to work together and fucking do GOOD together and he's trying to express that in his awkward foggy way and he's GOING to kiss him right then and there!! hes about to do it look out world!!! and then matt says "you're NOT going to kiss me" and foggy realises haha YEAH THATD BE A BAD IDEA HUH and jokes it off and gives matt another hug - "i'll be careful not to break the ribs this time, buddy, seems like you've been falling over and hurting yourself enough recently,"-
foggy almost kisses matt out of anger when he finds out he's daredevil, when he won't shut up about how this city needs him and foggy would have done the same and blah, blah, bullshit because maybe then he'd FUCKING listen to him, or at least it'd shut him up, but the honest betrayal he feels - at matt for not telling him and at himself for STILL having a part of him that wants to kiss matt - is enough to get him just to leave : ^)
alright. the gang is watching fisk get carted away and see that SHIT, he's broken out, of course it wasnt going to be this easy. matt puts karen in a taxi goes to run off and foggy grabs him by his coat because MATT. you're not going to go fight fisk in your god damn pajamas right now it's too dangerous you're going to die you stupid son of a bitch idiot
and of course matt doesn't listen, he tells foggy to get back into the car with karen, go to his place, they'll be safe there, and grabs his own taxi
and foggy's left to sit there with karen in the cab as it drives Oh Too Fucking Slowly to matt's, and he's mumbling curses all the way and karen is trying to calm him down, he doesnt know why he's so worried, and all foggy can think about is what if matt dies because i didnt stop him and what if karen never gets to hear it from him and about 10 billion what-ifs that wont leave him the FUCK alone, and he sits next to the windowsill he knows matt comes in through and waits, not even wanting to look at the tv because what if he sees worse news Hrgh
matt beats up fisk and he barely even waits for the cops to get there, he gets one look and confirms 'yup, that's mahoney,' and fucking BOOKS it to his apartment, he climbs through the window and foggy's just sitting there waiting, karens in the next room watching the broadcast at a 3 minute delay on her phone, matt doesnt have a tv hes BLIND >:,\
and when matt comes in, bloody and beaten up and doing That Panting Thing He Does, but definitley alive, foggy just fucking. grabs him by the shoulders and kisses him because HE IS A L I V E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and matt is suprised but he doesnt even try to protest because he's still riding the adrenaline from the fight
anyways. foggy pulls away for air and says 'you're so fucking stupid and i hate you' and then matt kisses hIM because uhh, thats FOGGY
and it's a minute later that matt senses another heartbeat and realizes karen's standing in the doorway, and she raises an eyebrow and obviously trying not to panic asks 'uh, foggy, pray tell, buddy, why you're making out with the devil in matt's bedroom' and foggy goes apeshit and tries to think of an excuse that doesn't invole 'uh thats matt' but it just kinda comes out as some stupid shit like 'i,,, uh,,,,, secret,...affair,,?i',m....gay." and matt just sighs and pulls off his helmet like "hey karen. it's me. hey karen whats poppin its me blind matt murdock" and needless to say they all have a Lot to talk abt
DRUNK KISSING:
so like. the first year they're together matt and foggy go out a lot, and it's mostly foggy dragging matt places and matt reluctantly coming because A) if someone doesnt watch foggy this idiot is going to puke and pass out in a ditch and B) he really like his company shh. no telling because that gay
anyways matt usually only drinks a little but foggy is mad lightweight right. he doesn't get shitfaced too often, usually only after exams or when he knows he has no classes the next day. when he does get shitfaced though he absolutley loses his shit and becomes even more touchy than usual, which is VERY TOUCHY because fuck you its my au and i get to choose the default affection levels
so basically. once foggy starts hugging matt and leaning on him and whining into his shirt about the 'hot girls' and 'killer nachos' at the party matt knows it's time to head home and foggy is too busy wrapping his arms around matt to notice he's being dragged out untill its too late
and y'know, thats fine, that's usual, all normal friend stuff, except what foggy also has a tendancy to do when he's drunk is kiss matt. sometimes its on his cheeks, or his forehead, or his shirt?? matt doesnt get that one??? and sometimes foggy even tries to go for the lips when hes particularly wilde. matt knows to expect this by the third time they go out, but it's still always a suprise when it happens, because sometimes it'll be out of nowhere when theyre walking back, or foggy'll stop matt and grab his cheeks and kiss him? sometimes they'll get all the way back to the dorm and matt will make foggy lie down and foggy will grab his shirt and pull him close enough to give him a quick peck before rolling over and promptly beggining to snore
which, y'know, is absolutley great for a maybe-gay-for-his-best-friend-catholic. what's also great is that foggy never seems to remember the fact he kissed matt the night before, and if he does, he definitley does NOT bring it up
so that's fine. whatever. thats life and matt will pretend like he doesnt care when foggy gives him a smooch because hes straight and loves girls and jesus christ, no homo, amen
but THEN. . then matt and foggy have been studying for exams for weEKS and theyre FINALLY DONE, FINALLY, and they are both going to get wasted out of their mINDS you better BELIEVE IT
so they do! and eventually they stumble back to their dorm together and sit together on the floor with a half-downed bottle of tequila and matt decides fuck it. he tells foggy he's never kissed a guy and foggy is like "haha cool. i have." matt's like "haha was it good" and foggys like "hell yeah man better than girls" so matts like hmm. "foggy i think i want to kiss a guy" and you can guess where this is goin
foggy is an oblivious little shit and just thinks matt's having a gay awakening so he's like "oh cool" and matt starts vibrating at inhuman frequency because FOGGY THIS IS THE ONE TIME I"M BASICALLY ASKING YOU TO DRUNK KISS ME AND YOU D O N T" so he just goes "haha yeah." and foggy's like "haha yeah"
and then matt chugs the bottle of tequila and says "foggy i think i wanna kiss you" and then he does but he's a good christian and also stupid so he just like. goes mwah on foggy's cheek
and foggy stares at him for like 15 seconds before basiclly challenging him to 'kiss him like a man, murdock, how are you supposed to get the gay experience if you dont go all in' and then they make out for like 20 minutes and life is good
(they both wake up w the worst fucking hangovers and theyre passed out on the floor and matt's like "foggy....im gay..." and foggys like "haha do you remember i kissed you" and matts like "????foggy i kissed YOU" and foggys like "oh yeah you did. you should have done that earlier" and matts says "????you were too busy trying to kiss me" and foggy goes "oh haha i was. cool" and then they fall back asleep...then they.....boyfriend.s)
FLOWER SHOP/TATTOO ARTIST AU:
so. matt is a florist and he runs a little shop across the street from an empty piece of real estate. a tiny place that used to be a deli but had just the WORST sandwiches, it was no wonder they closed down, god damn. anways. matt runs his shop with his best friends kirsten and karen who have IMPECCABLE taste in flowers and less impeccable taste in impulse control and not being huge lesbians.
one day this dude pulls up into matt's shop. his request is maybe the strangest matt's ever heard - 'can you get me two bouquets of like, the most metal flowers you have? like, ones that just look super cool but also, yknow, smell super good and sick and shit?' 
matt laughs, and tells the guy that yeah, he can't help with the looks part, but he'll make sure to get him some that smell 'quote' sick and shit, come back tomorrow morning and they'll have some ideas-hey, what are these for anyways?
and the guy tells him, oh, hah, i'm moving in across the street, opening a little tattoo place? wanted some flowers to make it seem more, uhh....welcoming. matt laughs and says yeah, sure, cool, and tells him if he has anymore questions to call the store and ask for matt. the guy tells him if he ever wants a tattoo just cross the street and ask for foggy and unless the flowers matt gives him really suck he won't do him dirty and tattoo a dick on him
so anyways, they have a couple meetings, foggy decides on the flowers he wants and thanks matt and tells him hey, he should come check out the shop, it's opening tomorrow, and foggy wants to be able to point to the guy who did the sick florals. matt doesnt have anything better to do and he likes the sound of this guy's voice so hell, he might as well
when he goes over matt realizes oh shit. he really is out of his element here, but he asks the guy at the counter for 'foggy' and is led over to  a corner where foggy's sitting and tattooing...himself? and matt realizes hey. i kind of have no idea what this dude looks like
so he sorta. sits there awkwardly untill he asks like. 'uh. i cant actually see what youre doing' and foggy goes OH IM SO FUCKING STUPID. i'm. man, saying this out loud seems kinda really stupid and cheesy i cant believe i have to do this...i'm....it's one of the flowers in the bouquet you made me....i just thought it looked really neat and smelled good and it....kinda reminds me of you and OK i KNOW that sounds really weird we met like 4 days ago BUT you seem super cool and i kinda hope we can maybe like. be friends or hang out or something,
and matt's like. o//////o yeah okay. uh. thats cool. thats cool uh im sure the flower is really pretty haha i love that type haha UH DO YOU WANT TO GET LUNCH OR SOMETHING haha maybe ill get a flower tattoo one day its pretty cool that you do tattoos UH IM FREE TOMOROW WAIT MAYBE THATS TOO SOON IM SORRY UH IM FREE WEDNESDAYS,
and foggy just kinda laughs and says 'no, tomorrow works,' and hey! they make plans and get coffee together and matt's like so. what tattoos do you have and foggy starts listing a bunch and eventually matt's like :( i wish i could see them they sound beautiful and foggy's like. here. heres my arm can i. yeah ok. and he grabs matts ar,m and he's like ok. feel the skin, its still a little raised can you feel that? ok, run your fingers over here and i can like. tell you wjats there
cue like an hour of sensual arm touching and tattoo explaining and the more matt learns about foggy and his tattoos and the more he hears the way he talks the more he's like A) oh fuck, i kinda really like this guy whos letting me feel up his arms and B) do i want a tattoo? i kind of want a tattoo
anyways. time jump they hang out a bit more, foggy always comes into matt's shop and talks to him in between customers, shows him the patterns he's designing, etc, and one day he comes in with a paper that has a design of some flowers on it and shows it to matt and as he's running his fingers across it he stops and says 'foggy? will you do this to me'
and foggys like 'bud are you sure? first tattoo, right, do you-are you really sure you want to do this, like, when, and wh" and matt's like 'shut up and put this ink in my skin before i chicken out' so matt sits through a PAINFUL ASS TATTOO and when it's done he's like FOGGY CAN I TOUCH IT CAN I TOUCH IT FOGGY CAN I TOUCH IT and foggy has to physically restrain matt from fondling his tattoo because its FRESH MATT
so foggys like 'ok, this is cause for celebration! babys first ink! we;re getting beers cmon' and they both go out to drink and matt's like 'hey foggy...can i touch more of your tattoos' and foggy's like 'uh, sure, i have another armfull,' and they do that for a while untill matt gets to the one foggy did the first time he visited foggy's tattoo parlor and foggy's like hah. remember this one? and matt's like yeah. i do. and they kinda just. sit there for a minute and then foggy's like 'ok. im gonna kiss you now punch me if you hate this, flowerboy' and matt absolutley does not punch him, thank you very much
and when they finish having their moment matt's like 'wow. i shoulda....i shoulda asked to feel you up again way sooner if i knew you were gonna do that' and foggy's like 'hey...i'd let you feel me up anytime' and they both kind of laugh and decide ok, worm, this works, and decide theyre gonna do that more often
they start to go out for drinks / dinner / lunch / any time they possibly can, and matt learns the curvature of foggys (suprisingly muscley?) arms down to a t, but he runs out of space to run his fingers over one night, and foggy kisses him and says 'hey. i've got more tattoos, y'know, but i don't think many people would appreciate it if i showed them off to you here' and matt is like 'wh-O H'
and foggy laughs and drags him to his apartment and pulls of his shirt and says 'ok, we're alone now. tell me what you feel' and matt sits on the bed in front of him and theres lots of sensual chest stroking going on and then yeah. matt gets fed up with all this touching foggy and not enough of foggy touching him and. they fuck oopsie
and after that they decide worm. that was good, wanna do that more often, holy shit, and decide to actually date date and thats like. thats that babey!
but years later they open a joint shop, an absolute mess of soft/punk aesthetics and everyone knows them because matt is still a soft florist who just has a fewwwww dozen flowers inked all over him and foggy is the punk god who flexes his sleeves all over town but flexes his soft boyfriend husband even more tHE END
