PLEASEE DO A NSFW ALPHABET OMG THE WAY YOU WRITE THE BEATLES IS MY FAV😭😭

The Beatles NSFW Alphabet - John

@heiterhund <<<<<<<<<<<< CO-WRITOR TO THIS, WOULD NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING WITHOUT HER, BEST BEATLES WRITER (OTHER THAN ME) 😍🩷🎀

A is for Aftercare (How he treats you after sex, what happens after sex, etc...)

• John is an absolute sweetheart.

• After sex he's all quiet, attentive and mellow. He talks to you without really talking to you.

• He comes down hard from his orgasms, feeling as though you and him are the only ones on planet earth.

• He's definitely a cuddler too - big spoon.

John turned to you, his hair dishevelled, his face flushed. You were the same, though you looked a lot more messy.

His cock was still slightly hard and in his fist, but he wanted to rest.

"You okay?" He breathed.

"Yeah," you smiled.

John slowly shifted around to hold you in his arms. His chest warm against your back. Naked and satisfied.

B is for Body part (His favourite body part of yours)

• John loves your legs and your hips and your feet. Every inch, from your hips to your soles.

• He loves them because he likes interacting with them in various scenarios.

• When he's holding your hips to fuck into you as you ride him...when he lifts you by your legs...when you playfully wrap around each other...when he kisses and licks your toes...

• Yes, your legs are very versatile for him.

C is for Cum (Where and why he likes to cum)

• Facials are most definitely his go to.

• John loves cumming on your face more than anything, it's degrading yet loving.

• He loves how he can see your eyes looking right at him as he does so.

He usually slaps the tip against your cheek, grinning as he sees his semen dripping to your lips and chin. If he’s feeling caring, he’ll use his thumb to wipe it off, before pressing it to your lips.

How sweet.

D is for Dirty secret (Something filthy that he did/or does/or wants to do behind your back.)

• John takes pictures of you, explicit ones.

• Sometimes he's fooling around. You're both out of it. But you're so out of it you forget he takes them. He doesn't forget though.

• Sometimes he takes them secretly, through a slightly open door as you undress…

• He's your own personal voyeur. You never even notice.

• He keeps the pictures safe, admires them every so often and rubs himself off to them like the man that he is. It's his collection of sorts.

• John thinks you're absolutely gorgeous, you are gorgeous. He imagines you being on the cover of Playboy or something, but his jealousy and possessiveness would never allow you to be seen by masses of men.

John turned away to retrieve his camera from the bedside table.

"Let's capture this moment, love," he whispered, his lips grazing against yours.

Your vision was hazy.

"Oh, that's a bit filthy isn't it, John?" You said, sighing.

John smirked, the corners of his mouth quivering. He liked you like this.

"Filthy? Well, that's the whole idea." He whispered, sitting up.

He pulled your bra down further, your nipples were perfectly exposed now, he laid quick kisses against them.

You were an absolute vision to him.

Laying on his silk hotel sheets, drinking, smoking and eating yourself blind - all simultaneously.

And he was definitely ready to have you afterwards.

Your laughter bubbled over as you teased, "I hope you're not planning to sell these to the papers."

He chuckled nervously, he had thought about it before - just a little fantasy.

The camera clicked in one hand, his cock was being rubbed through his boxers in the other.

"No," he breathed, palming himself harder.

"This is just for our little memory vault. These photos are like all our other photos, right?"

John massaged his balls, eager to cum.

"You're the star here." He groaned.

You giggled.

"Me, a star? Oh, stop it, you're making me blush."

John grinned, adjusting the camera.

"Blush harder. Now, can you slip out of your skirt for me, lovely?"

You did so, and slowly. It slipped off your hips nicely, leaving your bottom half only in your knickers.

"You're so demanding, Johnny."

With a sly wink, John retorted, "Demanding? Maybe a bit. But you can handle it, can't you, hm?"

And so the camera clicked, again.

E is for Experience (How experienced is he?)

• John lost his virginity to some whore in Liverpool well before he was eighteen. So he lost it well before he legally even could.

• He knows enough, he knows a lot in fact, way more than you do definitely.

• He knows enough to please you more than you can please him.

• He loves teasing you about it, saying how much of a square you used to be.

• Something about your lack of experience is hot, especially because it makes him feel in control.

F is for Favourite position (How he loves to fuck you.)

• John loves cowgirl.

• He loves when you ride him, your hands flat on his chest.

• The sight of you on top of him just really does it for him. His hands get to roam every where.

• And though it seems like you're in control, he'll often grab your hips and thrust himself up and down, fucking into you.

• If he's feeling energetic, sometimes he'll flip you onto your back so he can finish in missionary. His head deep in the crook of your neck as he gets closer.

G is for Goofy (How silly is he during sex?)

• John likes making jokes here and there. He's funny, even in something as serious as sex.

• You'll moan "Yess" and he'll moan "Yess" right back - mocking you.

John will ask "Just like that?" when he knows he's really hitting the spot. He'll ask you questions he knows you can barely answer as your being fucked.

And when you moan something that isn't his name like, "Oh, God." He'll reply, "My name's John, thanks."

He's just a goofy guy.

G is also for Goal (What's his goal and/or dream in relation to sex.)

• John's goal is to have you in as many places as possible, places within reason of course.

• He'll challenge you as well, whispering into your ear, "Do you think we could fuck here without being heard?" or "You'd look so pretty bent over that, y'know."

• He's had you in the classic places, like a car, a broom closet - but that just isn't enough for him.

• John won't stop until he makes you cum in as many places as possible.

H is for Hair (How well groomed he is, does the carpet match the drapes, etc..)

• John doesn't particularly care for grooming and he can't be bothered to regularly trim, shave or whatever.

• If he ever does do anything to his pubes, just know he was definitely fucking bored.

I is for Intimacy (How romantic he is during sex, etc..)

• John just isn't the type for candles or music or rose petals. He just wants to get right to it.

• Though, if it's a special occasion like Valentine's day or your birthday or something, he'll put in the effort to serenade you and fuck you on a bed of roses.

• Though he may say some things that are sweet and fluffy, the only thing he needs to show you is his cock, that's his romantic gesture.

J is for Jack off (Masturbation headcanon)

• John occasionally rubs himself off when he doesn't have access to a cunt.

• He thinks of you deeply whenever he does so, cumming hard all over his fist.

• It’s annoying to do, because nothing feels better than your vagina- but if he uses his imagination ( or those dirty photos he’s taken ) jacking off is the best feeling ever.

K is for Kink (One or more of their kinks in relation to you)

• John has a moderate pain kink and he's definitely the sadist in most situations, the giver.

• If you ask him to hit you (erotically) he'll do it, hesitantly but happily.

• John has a mommy kink (duh).

• He'll suck your tits and get you to cradle his head whilst he does so. Sometimes he calls you the m-word...mother.

• John has feet kink...

• He likes when you paint your toe nails nice colours. He's like massaging your feet. He's taken your toes into his mouth a lot of times.

L is for Location (Favourite places to do the deed)

• John loves obscure and semi-public places way more than a mere bed.

• So places like broom closets, a car, a park - all that jazz.

• He enjoys the risk and the fun involved in those places.

M is for Motivation (What turns them on about you, gets him hard, makes him cum, etc..)

• Your voice turns him on the most, before and during sex. Especially when he knows you want it bad.

• Your little moans before your orgasm, those get him there.

N is for No (Turn offs, what pisses him off, etc..)

• When you argue earlier in the day, like a proper bad argument, that turns him off for the rest of the day.

• When you can't resolve your issues he doesn't even look at you. He feels detached from you almost.

O is for Oral sex (Does he prefer giving or receiving? How does he give, how does he receive?)

• John 100% prefers both, he just can't choose between the two. Both bring him immense joy and pleasure.

• He eats you out nicely, enthusiastically. He usually doesn't make you orgasm with just that, it's just a fun, little extra to him.

• Prepare to have your mouth absolutely run through when you're sucking John's cock. No part of his cock is left unlicked or unsucked or untouched by you.

P is for Pace (Fast or slow? Rough or sensual?)

• His pace is gradual and building.

• He starts slow, then gets faster when he's about to make the both of you cum.

• John leaves being rough for when he's hate or jealous fucking you.

Q is for Quickie (His opinion on quickies, how often they happen, etc..)

• He's not opposed to them, he quite enjoys them actually, but of course he'd prefer having you all by himself with all the time in the world.

• They happen when you're both drunk or high, it's a moment of irresponsibility.

• Or they happen when you both haven't seen each other in a while and you just can't wait.

R is for Risk (What kind of risks will they take)

• He'll take public risks, so sex in public. He finds it thrilling, you know, the thought of getting heard and caught.

• He gets off on someone hearing, someone being a voyeur.

S is for Stamina (How many rounds he can last, how quickly can they cum, etc..)

• John can last one round but it's a nice length, 20 minutes minimum.

• He doesn't cum too quick, well, depending on the situation, if he has to cum quick he will, so if you're having a quickie.

• But yeah, he doesn't cum too quickly, so expect that twenty minutes of that cock.

T is for Toys (Does he own toys, use them, what kind of toys, etc?)

• John personally doesn't own toys because he wouldn't be able to get over the embarrassment of buying and owning them.

• He does try to coax you into buying them for yourself though, he would like watching you use them on yourself.

U is for Unfair (How much does he like to tease you, how does he tease you, etc..)

• John isn't that unfair. He's not the type to edge you or delay orgasm.

• Verbal teasing 100% though.

• And he teases you before he fucks you anyways. So by kissing and rubbing you in areas that make you want more...neck...clit.

V is for Volume (How loud is he, what noises does he make, what does he say, etc..)

• John groans like a wild animal, he's talkative as well, loves making little comments before and during and after.

• People can definitely hear him through the walls.

W is for Wildcard (Random sexual headcanon)

• Lennon loves a good roleplay situation - anything sexy. Nurse and patient, teacher and student, etc…

• He has such a big ego, so he particularly likes when you pretend to be some beatlemaniac.

• Yeah, he always cums so fucking hard during your little role plays.

“Oh my GOD! IS THAT JOHN LENNON?”

You screeched, feet stomping in place as you jump and giggle like a virgin schoolgirl.

John can’t help but look annoyed, his brows lowering as he quickly looks around.

You just blew his fucking cover with your high pitched squeals and your bouncing up and down.

Oh, how he hated these types of fans.

“Yes! Yes! It is, oh my GOD.”

You all but scream, throwing yourself on the man.

He doesn’t stifle the annoyed groan that leaves his mouth, sounding like some primal snarl deep in his throat.

“If I fuck you in the bathroom will you leave me alone and stay quiet?”

X is for X-ray (His cock)

• A bit above average, so...6 inches and he's not circumcised and his balls are massive.

• He has a good girth as well. John's penis is quite proportionate!!

• He has a bush because he very rarely shaves or cuts.

Uuuuuurgghhh, I want him and his cock so horrendously.

Y is for Yearning (His sex drive, how much do they want you?)

• He wants you whenever you're both most available, both physically and emotionally.

• John most definitely has a high libido. Sex and you occupy his mind at the same time, everywhere.

Z is for Zzz (Sleep afterwards?)

• John doesn't get excessively tired but he does feel it.

• His after sex sleep depends on you. If you're sleepy, he'll settle and sleep, if you want to stay up, then he's good with that as well.

3x08, part 2.

The first thing I notice? Jamie. :) That boy can't sit straight or stand still. <3 (Also Jan, heh.) And Jamie's so fond of Henry. Surprisingly good with kids, yeah, and it's wonderful that Jamie pays him so much attention while being Henry's fav player.

All the boys are smiling and cheering for the kid, this so incredibly wholesome. Even the ones that aren't exactly participating are still smiling. I love this show, man. I rewatched this moment at least 7 times. I would like to be Henry in that moment, please.

I also can't get over the "I got that all covered" line and the cut to the boys just being boys and having the time of their life out on the pitch with Henry. Perfect training & Rebecca being more than ok with that. :') I need gifs of this. I need a cut of this scene only so I can have it on my blog with the boys cheering. I love EVERYTHING about this moment.

Yeah, I'm definitely still in love with her. Queen. Also, the line of this ep so far, "getting engaged".

I know there's no other way to say it, but when characters are on a first name basis with each other instead of their usual nicknames, you know something is up.

WHAT?! I'm not the one who's dating Jack, so: she can go fuck herself. I absolutely hate how toxic they make her and her relationship with Keeley, but I also can't ignore all of this. What. the actual. fuck?????

Either call Rebecca and meet her after or visit Rebecca at work. Because this??? Ughhh. Rebecca would never. Screw it, I'm back on my bullshit. Keeley and Rebecca should have been dating basically from the beginning.

Not in the way I expected, but the tongue returns. He's such a dork & I love him. :') The fact that none of the boys comment on his shenanigans bc they're so used to him just being This Way. <3

A Lynx dealer, I'm screaming. :D Though I'm very happy to see Jamie and Colin interacting. "Smart boy." My heart is soft for this friendship. I need this to be connected with Colin's sexuality and Jamie making a statement as bisexual. If not in the show (shame), then as fanfiction.

Also, the tattoo isn't there, I'm sad.

!!! I like how they keep mentioning how awful The Sun is. Like, it's a thing & everyone knows that & i appreciate them doing that since s1.

Colin, sweetie... I understand why he does that, but I wish he wouldn't and didn't.

My boy gets it. <3 Though the part of "that's why I delete all photos from my phone". Babe, all this stuff is probably connected to iCloud or Google Drive, which is... yeah. Won't help you much. Also, your videos are still somehow on twitter. :D

People said "let us see Jamie's legs" and the creators obliged. Isn't he cold though? C'mon.

Listen.... the path they walked since s1? I can't get over it. The growth!! The character development!!

Boys will be boys. :')

Jamie Tartt, an art and interior design lover.

The fact that that line is cut to Jamie and Roy's reactions. My heart. When you're two men that still love your ex. I am very deep in my feelings here. There is SO much happening here, my goodness.

Jamie watching Roy walking away after he heard about that, and both being deep in their thoughts. This drives me crazy tbh. And Jamie's reaction, his love for Keeley. I'm !!!!! :(((((

I'm sure Isaac is gonna make things right if needed to and he's gonna be very protective over Colin if exposed, but the anxiety in this is real for Colin. I totally get it.

#natiswatching #jamie tartt #roy x jamie x keeley #jamie x keeley #roy x keeley #ted lasso #colin hughes #rebecca x keeley

Just finished Jake, Leon and started on Chris's re6 campaigns (I've also played re0, re2 remake, re3 remake, re4, re7 and a little bit of resident evil 1) and I'm now certified to talk about ships because there are a lot and they're never canon in resident evil so I can have a field day.

Ps. If I miss any feel free to suggest some there's a high possibility I just forgot

Chris x jill

I see the appeal but idk where is the depth, they work just as well as close friends and trauma bonded comrades in arms and I love that for them.

Leon x claire

Again I understand why people would ship it but absolutely not for me. (They are the best co-parents to sherry though)

Leon x Ada (pls don't come for me)

I truly don't understand it, Ada saved Leon once and he's spent decades trailing around after her for no good reason?? Like this man's pining has a body count +I just don't really feel the chemistry, I know I'm supposed to play and root for them but I just don't care.

Chris x leon

I don't know why this ship appeals to me so much when they've had like 4 interactions but I just think it kinda slaps and they already have lots of tension so A* from me.

I was going to put Chris x Claire but if you ship that then there is something unfortunate occurring in your brain and you need help.

Claire x Jill

I think there's a universe where Claire x Jill and Chris x leon are both canon and I think that the character interactions would be peak

Jill x carlos

I genuinely really like this ship, in the remake at least it feels like there's chemistry, they're not just trying to escape raccoon city they have a connection and are looking out for each other (I also really love that Carlos respects Jill's ability because she is such a baddass)

Jill x brad

Nah they're comrades in arms

Any ship involving nemesis or Mr X is a wrongun

Chris x wesker

I think it's funny for the lols but I don't think I properly ship it

Jill x wesker

Nuh-uh

Sherry x jake

I LOVE THIS SHIP I don't know why it's so underappreciated and why it's not canon, capcom you cowards

Rebecca x billy

Luv it 10/10

Rebecca x wesker

Ew no 0/10

Luis x leon

In the OG re4 no way but remake Leon and Luis I definitely see it and I kinda ship it yeah

Leon x ashley

No pls no, Leon gives such big brother/ uncle vibes

Ethan x mia

I don't like Mia so I'm not a fan

Ethan x Heisenberg

HULLO SAILOR I unironically quite like this ship like it's my fav of the re8 ships

Ethan x chris

I think Chris cares for Ethan but not in that way

Any male character with lady D is a no no, she doesn't like men and I respect that

Helena x leon

I definitely think they would be kind of friends but I don't think they would be good for a long term relationship

Chris x piers

I ship it icl, I haven't even finished the campaign but dear lord piers is not being subtle at all, that twink is down bad good lord.

i think this my first time being late to an update omg…🕷️ anon washed

starting off with business matter first…would it be crazy if i said this was my fav update 😭😭 i loved chapter 92 specifically because it forces serim & rina to both face their feelings (& doubts), intimacy could only go so long as a form of communication b4 they both were left unsatisfied (more so serim) its rlly sad even now karina cant fully accept her feelings using ning as an excuse to let their bond go (not rlly an excuse but how she self sabotage b4 anything could rlly happen) it was such a good chapter and i just like angst (obvs by now)

im rlly worred about ningning in all this tho…whether serim & rina end up together or she ends up with serim (with the knowledge that she will never feel how she feels for jimin) its a lose lose situation for her…unless im reading too much into it and shes not taking her time with serim seriously/just having fun

them saying goodbye to eo was amazingly beautiful i dont even know what to say…bittersweet i guess

KYUIN GIRLFAILURE WE LOVE U ALREADY 🫶🫶 also adding another delulu jimin into my bag thank u 💋 i think i say this about all the friendgroups in ur stories but I LOVE novaHIVI DYNAMIC ALREADY THEY FAMILY (havent stopped thinking about this group either like u cooked so bad here)

the difference between how anthology!kazuha and hole in one!kazuha act dhsbshsnsn

minjeong n milf 👍👍

i just wanna say i liked minkwan…i probably didnt say anything tho cause my peasized brain zeros in on yuri 😕

SUCH A WASTE ON CHITTAPHON NOOOOO U SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LEAVE, THE GAY BOYS NEED LOVE TOO 😭😭 (its also interactive too so the min i figure out how that works im getting my mean gay boy x loser gay girl both being down bad serve idc)

simon says is amazing…we just love father dem jointz over here and we thank god everyday sm passes him around like a groupie in that building

also so many anons are flirting with u now that means u made it…dont forget me when ur famous

- 🕷️

it's literally the end of the deal, it's so important, makes total sense !! and all of the events and circumstances make it more hard for them to be delusional about what they feel, serim couldn't hold it anymore. glad you enjoyed it, even if it was some sad episodes.

yeah, with the new update i just posted 😀 ningning's situation changes a little, since she's actually capable of trying and prioritizing her mental sanity, although it's probably gonna hurt for her in any scenario, she's more aware and ready than the other two

kyuin is a cutie that has barely learnt how to exist in society, we need to protect her 😭 i have already accepted i'm never writing a normal boring jimin, i always have to make her borderline schizophrenic 😔 so happy to hear you like novahivi's dynamic, you always focus on the things that matter to me 😅 i always prioritize the main character's friend groups a lot and i find particularly fun writing novahivi interacting with each other

shut up finally a kazuha that's not attempting to murder anyone (YET) (jokey joke)

minjeong and milf 🫴🏼

OH NOW EVERYONE LIKES MINKWAN GET OUTTA HERE, Y'ALL ARE TOO LATE

this blog is a woman's world i swear, readers don't even support gay men 😔 i will support any idea you have to get the gays thriving and vibing

father demjointz 😭 literally, i owe him so much, has given me my fav kpop songs

i will never forget you, spidey, you're literally my everything

#aettuddae #answer #business matter #🕷️ anon #the anthology

I completely get where you Roy/Jamie shippers are coming from, and I really super hope that they go that way for you. But for me, their relationship has always seemed very big brother- little brother (ie: i fuckin hate you but I will kill for you). The energy from Jamie this ep was just full on baby brother so super excited to show his big brother all the cool stuff he knows about Amsterdam and I loved it so much. But, like I said, I can also see the ship potential for sure, so fingers crossed!

Thanks nonnie, and I get where you’re coming from. It can really go both ways for me and on a personal level I’d be happy with either, like …

There are two hearts beating in my chest.

The one, that really, really wants Jamie x Keeley to get a second chance, because I adored them after their first interaction and was heartbroken when it dawned on me they’d go for Roy x Keeley.

And the one, that has a deep need for Roy x Jamie, in part because I can count on one hand the queer ships I liked that actually became (semi-)canon (and I’m not counting the sad excuse that was Destiel … but even if I’d count that I’d only need one hand …), but mostly because of the impact it could have, if the show actually straightbaited the conservative part of its audience into caring and rooting for queer people.

I heard a story on a podcast once, about a Mormon, who stopped being homophobic after he saw Brokeback Mountain and realised, that gay men loved each other, that it wasn’t all about sex. That they had feelings for each other. And it feels kinda ridiculous to write this down, since that should be obvious, but … apparently for some people it isn’t and if just a handful would change their mind when their favs turn out to be queer and when it is shown how homophobia and bigotry hurt them, it is a win.

So, yeah, currently for the greater good (lol) I’m crossing my fingers for Roy x Jamie (x Keeley, depending what happens with Jack). Jamie will probably get hurt in the process, since Roy is still dumb and insecure, which then will hurt me. (And while a part of me dreads the almost inevitable third act break-up, if they'd go with a classic romance structure, the other part wants freshly dumped Jamie and Keeley shit-talking Roy and then going “But the thing he does with his hips. sigh”) But there needs to be obstacles and doubt and despair before you get the grand romantic declaration and the happily ever after.

(Both of my hearts btw are united by the wish for anything but Roy x Keeley endgame)

i feel extremely nosy here, but i was looking for this post because it came across my dash and i couldn't find it to reblog it. so, before i began my discourse + opinion, just know that these reblogs got extremely out of hand (read more so this won't get long!!)

this post is not targeted towards the op, i just wanted to give some insight on this (there are some recommendations of my fav sfw works of jjk x reader at the end! they're mostly gojo x reader, but still!)

personally, i am a sfw writer (currently) with slight interest on nsfw! i like dark content (both dead dove do not eat and smut) and have been thinking about writing it for my blog. i do not have many fics (only 2 posted at the moment), but they have quite a few notes, which im particularly happy with! however,

most of the sfw writers don’t get any sort of appreciation. im talking about comments, reblogs (which are very very very important to creators) and/or asks about their work! this has been said by the last reblogs made here, and they are a valid critique.

creators have the right to feel underappreciated when they're not rebbloged, which is perfectly understandable. i don't want anyone attacking each other because of this post or the original reblog — just agreeing with the opinions im seeing around: reblog things. tell your creators that you liked their stuff. it makes their goddamn day.

this is not shocking facts, many have said the same. but i just want to tell a bit of my experience. i don't read much fanfiction, though. would like to read more, but im usually doing other things.

some sfw works that i really really like + links to the blogs! please remember to check out their rules / not interact with some posts if you fit their dni criteria !!

Oooh that’s true…maybe there’s a big age gap so she’s more absent/less influential? But YEAH LMAOO I TOTALLY SEE IT TOO!! I can imagine him being like “be careful guys are wolves” to his sisters as if he isn’t the prime example…I can just imagine Karasu and Otoya first convo abt like girls and dating and imagine Karasu’s jaw drops to the floor like wdym you have 5 gfs???

LMAOO Dehydrated is the perfect word because what even…it’s crazy to see how the art style has changed sm though!! Bro was PARCHED

The reo zantetsu dynamic >>> it’s so funny I love the way zantetsu spices up the nagi and reo dynamic too like seeing him interact with both of them just adds a whole other layer and I like how it shows nagi and reos interactions with ppl other than themselves!! Like it’s nice to see that they exist outside of their duo/partnership too if ykw I mean?

So real for that I also don’t rlly care about soccer LMAO I swear when people find out I like BLLK they ask me about soccer and I’m like….haha…so here’s the thing….angsty Emo 16 year old Rin….right in the pits of puberty fr LMAO actually you do make a good point about age there….maybe the rest of them are still in a soccer puberty rage mix LOL

Serial dater Otoya is so funny im stealing that title idea LMAO that’s gold

FLASHLIGHT EYES that just reminds me of the scene where Isagi is kinda explaining meta vision and we see everyone with the car headlights HAHAHA blue lock truly is something else….

Ooooo I love that older boy/reader idea..mmm yes inferiority complex peak angst fr…I can totally see the vision…but also hear me out I def see what you mean with chigiri and hiori but imagine this…I can’t tell if I’m slightly biased (I don’t have anything for chigiri though sorry princess) but when you mention hiori it brings me back to the few scenes where hiori kinda looks out for Rin (when Shidou smashes his nose in and hiori runs to help)…I wonder if maybe it’d work in a way that reader finds Rin to intense and immature in a way compared to the very mild-mannered, leveled headed Hiori…like two different types of familial trauma that yielded completely different manifestations of outward personalities….don’t get me wrong I still feel like the older boy inferiority complex is probably the better route and fits theme better but that just got me thinking of that potential idea LOL

Also yeah er…I’ve never fully been able to get on the shidou hype train oops, Isagi I think is a really cool protagonist because he’s not really my fav in any sense but the story still manages to make me root for him!! I think he’s written really well in that sense because I’ve never been that moved by an mc before LOL, still don’t like him enough like that though HAHA sorry Isagi

LMAO I’m NGL that art looks a little funky too but I’ll choose to ignore it but LMAOOOOO OTOYA that’s so on brand I love it from the snippet of knowledge I know about horse riding your ideas sound so accurate LOL I’m crying at groom Hiori omg

I have no idea about the specific logistics of each one, are there particular types or breeds of horses people choose for different types of riding? Or I know (like most animals) some typical have specific dispositions or traits…are there any specific horses you think would match them?

ME where are people finding these men fr like….I will not lower my standards sorry likeee why would I bring myself down to that level smh

HAHAH honestly a talent 200k sounds like a dream im ready to just block out my schedule and binge read the next installment and go back and read everything all together

No because I can’t live without music I seriously don’t understand people who don’t listen at all?? Like wdym??? I would be so bored like??? Also the obscure dad rock songs is so accurate I was thinking that too but had no idea what to call it LOL I can imagine them singing so loud you can hear them through the special karaoke walls and people in the neighboring rooms are like wtf

Pause on that note have you ever heard the official character songs for BLLK..? I’m gonna be honest some are a little cringe but I take it as like a little lore snippet/character interaction…I know for a FACT that Karasu and Otoya will have a song together sometime while s2 is released and I’m def gonna try and patch together the lyrics for it when it’s out LOL I bet it’ll be so goofy

THE BRIGHT GREEN!!!! Omg those are so pretty shshsjs and omg swans…I love swans…they’re so pretty birds are just awesome so you’re so real for that

Also NOO TAKE YOUR TIME HAHAHA cannot rush perfection o7 I’ll read it no matter what word count it reaches LOLOL quality over quantity hehe and omggg dragonfruit peach slushees so refreshing!! I’m excited for fall too not just bc of better weather but s2 release RAGHH I need all those Karasu panels animated asap (but eightbit pls don’t butcher it)

Also I’m crying I scrolled to the bottom of the reply to where it says more posts like this and it’s literally FILLED with our convo HAHAHA

- Karasu anon

yes that’s what i was thinking!! like maybe the otoya parents had their oldest child when they were younger and then eita + his younger sister are closer in age so their older sister isn’t as involved in their lives and isn’t close enough w eita to tell him to stop being a cheater. JDDJOS him talking to his sisters like “men are trash ladies stay away from them and don’t date until marriage 😌” buddy look in the mirror you ARE the trash…honestly that’s why i think childhood friends to lovers is the best trope for him!! i could write a whole oneshot on it but i shall refrain

i actually love reonagi 1000x more when they’re hanging with other characters instead of one another. idk why but i find them rlly boring together?? zantetsu + reo, nagi + barou, kunigiri + reo, nagi + isagi are all dynamics i find much more entertaining and also imo show their personalities a bit more.

HELP rin is stuck in soccer jail during his angstiest years no wonder that boy is constantly 0.5 seconds way from snapping and talks abt killing everyone whenever he’s on the field 😭 what’s funny is barou is older than karasu but he does NOTTT act like it…i bet tabieitaken gossip abt how immature half of the bllk boys are (not that resident jackasses karasu and otoya are pinnacles of class but they at least act their age)

oh i just excluded hiori and chigiri because they’re the same age as rin so the specific dynamic i was talking abt wouldn’t really work w them!! rin’s like one of the youngest players though so like p much anyone else would qualify as being older HAHA. i do think the hiori dynamic you mentioned would also be interesting!! i think that rin and hiori would be on more equal footing in that though…in my mind it would be more of a traditional love triangle than rin being a second lead who has a 0% chance at ever being acknowledge by the mc. still super interesting and def would be fun though!!

i think that the worst ones for rin (if we go the older boy route) would be nagi or karasu (not being biased). rin basically has no interest in anything but soccer (a lot like sae) and kinda horror games and whatnot?? for the most part it’s just soccer on his mind though. i think if the reader was w karasu (or even yukimiya to a lesser extent) who is very well rounded and generally mature, it would probably throw rin’s lack of maturity + other interests into relief, ESPECIALLY if the mc isn’t into soccer, which would def fuck w rin sooo bad. like everything he’s ever wanted in life has been obtained via his talents at soccer — he even thinks he can fix his relationship w sae just by getting better at the sport — but here’s someone who thinks he’s childish and doesn’t even care how talented he is. karasu straight up calls rin childish during the third selection for fighting w shidou which i think would make him crash out in an au like this one. it’s similar with nagi, who’s a prodigy that’s never really had to work for anything in his life — rin is super dedicated, and he balances his talent with hard work, so i think that if nagi managed to win over someone who HE wanted, seemingly without any effort, it would make him feel horrible and reinforce that feeling that no matter how hard he tries, he’ll never be on the level of the prodigies of the world (nagi/sae). idk if you can tell but messing w rin is a pastime for me i love thinking of ways to torture him

i also have never really seen the shidou appeal…like more power to everyone who likes him but he simply is not the one for me. isagi is meh like i don’t mind him as a character at all but i don’t know if i could ever write him as a main love interest!! he’s missing a certain smth in my mind. but he would be a perfect character to put in a side couple i think — kind of like a less problematic version of bff x otoya in fwtkac HAHA

for the most part there’s a lot of diff breeds that can do many different jobs!! especially if you’re not competing nationally most horses will do okay doing whatever, plus there’s talented/non-talented horses in each breed. normally people will pick a horse based on its aptitude for their chosen sport rather than just the breed!! but if i had to assign horse breeds (horsesonas???) to tabieitaken + hiori, i would say yuki would be a friesian, otoya would be an arabian, karasu would be a trakehner, and hiori would be a connemara

i haven’t listened to the official character songs no!! i feel like i only listen to soundtracks if they play during the show and are particularly majestic (violet evergarden soundtrack will always be famous to me hehe). i’ll have to listen at some point though!! karasu and otoya are truly THEEE best friends of bllk so they’re def going to have themes that riff off of that (hoping they get smth cool like chigiri’s guitar but more menacing considering they’re the ninja and the assassin)

icl the next installment is sooo long you don’t even know but it’s 90% crack fic NDKSJSSN like the most unserious stuff i’ve written in ages. now that karasu and reader are dating their relationship is more of an underlying support to the shenanigans the crew gets up to instead of the main focus so it’s a lot sillier and less romantic than the previous two parts. hopefully you still like it!! but either way at least you’ll have a good amt to read once i finally finish and post it

I CAN’T WAIT FOR SEASON TWO EITHER RAHHH tabieitaken…nagi and barou’s goals in the u-20 match…rin tweaking on the field…hoping beyond hope that the animation for the best moments at least is good because if they make the u-20 match goals look crusty i’ll cry. i think it’s funny how usually the anime has a much better art style than the manga but w bllk it’s the other way around!! ESPECIALLY episode nagi but honestly the art for the main manga now that it’s been developed is amazing

masterlist | taglist

Take you like a drug

I taste you on my tongue

Tongues battling for dominance, bodies rubbing against each other searching for a feeling. It’s become routine now, a different person in your dorm swallowing a new pill, entangling limbs with someone just to feel something.

You ask me what I'm thinking about

I tell you that I'm thinking about

Whatever you're thinking about

Tell me something that I'll forget

And you might have to tell me again

It's crazy what you'll do for a friend

It was a constant cycle, putting yourself out there seeking the male attention you crave, seeking validation, constant reassurance and trusting too easily. That’s how you ended up with a different guy who always in the end leaves. You trusted too easily and people took advantage of how trusting and naive you are just for a quick shag.

You wished it wasn’t like this but that’s all you knew, wanting to be the best version of yourself for someone just to feel needed, no matter if the person was good or bad for you. You didn’t care, you wanted love from anyone you could get it from even if it just hurt you more.

You’re familiar with the absence, something stable made you feel a bit wary. It wasn’t something you were used to. Your father wasn’t the most present in your life, and even though he's there, he's never really there.

Go ahead and cry, little girl

Nobody does it like you do

I know how much it matters to you

I know that you got daddy issues

And if you were my little girl

I'd do whatever I could do

I'd run away and hide with you

I love that she's got daddy issues, and I do too

You always wondered where you went wrong, he preferred your siblings over you and doesn't pay you a piece of his mind. Constantly going out of your way to get his attention whether it was academically or acting a certain way just to get some sort of reaction. But he was too preoccupied with his other children, even if they were from your mom or his affairs.

That’s how you found yourself right now sitting in the astronomy tower past curfew watching the rain fall, trying to clear your head while humming softly to yourself to keep yourself distracted.

You hear distant chattering from below and quickly get up from where you were sitting and make your way to your dorm unnoticed by anyone.

Except one person, Draco Malfoy.

I tried to write your name in the rain

But the rain never came

So I made with the sun

The shade

Always comes at the worst time

He’s seen you before, you’re known around Hogwarts for how you put yourself out there and how ‘desperate’ you are for some affection. He almost feels bad for you, but he’s in no place to judge. With his dad in Azkaban Draco had so much more to worry about, like his task and how he can succeed. But there was something about you that intrigued him that he couldn't ignore.

He saw you again in transfiguration the next day and noticed a few hickeys littering your neck that you had tried to cover but it didn’t work. He wondered why you gave yourself up to so many people, but once again he was in no place to judge. He noticed the way your tongue would stick out when you focused extra hard, the way your hands would tighten around your quill when you got a question wrong and your face.

The same face that many boys including the older years would fawn over, the face that entranced and attracted many, the face of someone who would do anything for someone for some affection and the face of someone who seeked out all the wrong things.

You ask me what I'm thinking about

I tell you that I'm thinking about

Whatever you're thinking about

Tell me something that I'll forget

And you might have to tell me again

It's crazy what you'll do for a friend

You walk out of transfiguration on your way to the owlery to send a letter to your parents and feel eyes watching you everywhere. You like it, the attention, it’s something that you thrived in, but you couldn’t help but feel a new set of eyes on you.

Once you reached the owlery you realized you weren't the only one there, Draco Malfoy was also there sending a letter to who you assumed was his mother.

“y/n, right?” he asked, trying to spark a conversation.

“Yea, listen i’m sorry about what happened with your father i know you really looked up--”

“Dont worry about it, he wasn’t as good an influence as I made him out to be,” he sighed, looking away.

“My dad isn’t the best either if i’m being honest, i guess we’re in the same boat” you let out a light chuckle.

And that’s how you found yourself hanging out with draco malfoy bonding over your shared issues.

Go ahead and cry, little girl

Nobody does it like you do

I know how much it matters to you

I know that you got daddy issues

And if you were my little girl

I'd do whatever I could do

I'd run away and hide with you

I love that she's got daddy issues

It’s been weeks since you two started hanging out since the interaction in the owlery and have been getting closer ever since. You both sat down together in the astronomy tower, backed against the wall as the cool wind blew against your faces. The aura between you two was calm, a comfortable silence.

“So tell me about your dad, how is it with him in Azkaban?” you asked, tilting your head towards him.

“Mother’s not taking it well” he frowned. “I can’t even say potter’s wrong for getting him locked up because he deserves it. All my life he praised the dark lord and taught me to be selfish and always defend my blood, but he was never there for me when I needed him. I would have done everything just to hear ‘i’m proud of you’ but it never came. It’s worse now because mother’s all alone. I wish I could have stayed with her” he sighed looking out the tower watching the stars twinkle.

“I’ve noticed you’ve been much quieter this year as well, you stopped making fun of people. It’s not that nice on the receiving end huh?” you said with a teasing look on your face.

He shook his head at you scooting closer to you, it’s like the demeanor between you two have changed over the past few weeks. You found yourself pining over him rather than being in someone's bed. But this is how the cycle always goes, you get attached and they leave, you couldn’t help but hope this wasn’t the situation this time.

“Tell me about your father”

Daddy stuck around but he wasn't present

Cheated on your mom but she never left him

First I didn't get it, now I understand

He broke her heart, left money in her hand

So everything got paid for

She made sure you and your brother had way more

Than she ever had growing up

And when you told me the whole story I felt like throwing up

“ I don't know if i’d even call him my father at this point, he doesn't want me.” you sighed. “He's been cheating on my mum for years now and she still won't leave him because she thinks they can work it out. He’s had affairs with different pureblood women and has children with them. But what hurts the most is how he treats them as his own children and treats me as if I don't exist” you said, looking down as tears pooled your eyes.

Draco moved closer to you and brought his arm around your shoulders for a sense of comfort and waited for you to catch your breath so you can continue.

“I just want him to love me” you cried. “I go out my way to try and get his attention with my school work but it never works. That's why I get along with so many guys. I seek the validation, the comfort and the reassurance that I can get from him from others and I am so tired of it. I just want him to want me draco.” tears slipping out your eyes as you looked up at him, you’ve never confessed this to anyone before.

“Everyone always leaves, please don't leave me” you cried

“I’m not going anywhere” he turned his face towards you, leaning forward cautiously as if you were made of glass.

You leaned forward, wanting the exact same thing. Both very hesitant he gently pressed his soft lips against yours and they moved together in sequence, only taking a break to go back to his dorm and to breathe, limbs tangled together for the rest of the night until the sun rose.

I can see it on your face it was rough left a bad taste on your tongue

And she didn't even take any drug

She would rain all day

Couldn't wait for her son to shine

And you made it shine

There when she cried, you saved her life

It's been a week since that night in the astronomy tower and draco had already been avoiding you. It’s humiliating, but you should have known. You thought the ‘bond’ you had with him would last, it felt so genuine this time. So real.

You’d see him around the halls snogging pansy on your way back to the ravenclaw tower, lowering your head down so he wouldn’t be able to see you so you could get by quickly and unnoticed.

But he saw you.

He stared you right down in your teary eyes as he made out with pansy. You couldn’t help but feel a sense of betrayal, for someone who promised he wouldn’t leave you like everyone else, he did the exact same.

You did the only thing you knew of, you ran.

I keep on trying to let you go

I'm dying to let you know

How I'm getting on

I didn't cry when you left at first

But now that you're dead it hurts

This time I gotta know

Where did my daddy go?

I'm not entirely here

Half of me has disappeared

Draco followed you to the girls lavatory, hearing your shallow cries coming from one of the stalls. He approached the stall you were in trying not to make too much noise so he doesn't startle you.

He felt awful.

He promised he would never leave you, after you both poured your hearts out to each other but he still left. He had too, he was putting you in danger just by being with him. If Voldemort ever found out about you and hurt you he wouldn't be able to live with himself, that's why he took it upon himself to hurt you first.

“y/n are you in here?” he called out even though he knew the answer.

You recognized that familiar voice anywhere. “What do you want draco?” you said, trying to make it seem as if you weren’t just crying.

“I want to talk to you, please”

“No,” you said getting up and pushing yourself out of the stall. “You don't get to just throw me away after I told you everything and just come back into my life like nothing ever happened. Just go away, that's all you guys are good for” you spat.

“Just listen to me, it was to keep you safe. I didn;t want to but i couldn't bear seeing you hurt” he tried to explain.

“Safe?” you laughed. “ and what exactly do i need saving from, malfoy.”

“From me” he said as he pulled up his sleeve revealing his dark mark to you. Your body instantly tensed, you knew he was having problems and his family was involved with the dark lord but you never knew it was like this.

“Draco i-” you tried to say something but the words were stuck in your throat. He stood there looking at you desperately like he was waiting for you to tell him everything was okay, you wanted to be there for him but you didn’t know what to do. You trusted him with everything but he couldn't trust you with this? You thought the bond you had made would have made him trust you in the slightest, but clearly it's always you who’s more trusting.

“Why didn't you tell me?” you managed to say, your voice hoarse.

“I thought you’d leave me, you were the only good thing i had. Please don't leave me” he begged, salty tears escaping his eyes and running down his cheeks as he looked at you with desperation.

“So you thought pushing me away by snogging pansy was better?” you yelled, as he continued to look at you slightly taken aback by your lashing out.

“You know what, go ahead and cry little boy. You know that your daddy did too, you know what your mama went through. You gotta let it out soon, just let it out” you taunted walking closer to him looking straight into his teary eyes.

“This time I'll be the one that leaves.” and with that you were gone.

Go ahead and cry, little girl

Nobody does it like you do

I know how much it matters to you

I know that you got daddy issues

And if you were my little girl

I'd do whatever I could do

I'd run away and hide with you

I love that she's got daddy issues, and I do too

It’s been months since that night in the girls lavatory, and you missed him. You wanted to visit him in the hospital wing once you heard what happened with Harry Potter, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do so. He left you, and you were tired of always going back to people who just hurt you.

Now here you were at the battle of Hogwarts, standing with everyone while Voldemort and his death eaters stood across from you all.

“Draco, draco come here” you heard narcissa call from across the scene. He looked hesitant, as if he was waiting for someone to stop him but no one did. So he started walking over to his parents.

But you grabbed his hand.

“Stay please” you whispered looking up into his eyes.

He looked back at his parents and back at you like he was contemplating his answer.

“I’ll stay”

If you were my little girl

I'd do whatever I could do

I'd run away and hide with you

I love that she's got daddy issues, and I do too

wot reread: overall view from EotW through tFoH

Some of my feelings have definitely changed from what I remembered from my last read!

spoilers through the fires of heaven

Fav arcs (not in order except #1):

1. Mat coming to terms with Rand being a channeler/TDR.

I had no memory of how well this was written! It’s gradual, it’s natural, it’s got so many complicated layers of emotion. Mat starts out being terrified of Rand and not sure how he can ever call him a friend again in The Great Hunt, and slowly progresses through several different stages until he arrives at not being scared of Rand’s channeling at all and definitely considering him a friend again in the Fires of Heaven, while still being nervous about literally every other channeler who exists in the series and not wanting anything to do with the fate that’s been laid out for him.

I would kill for this kind of nuance and growth in literally any of the canon romances in the series. They share so many great scenes together and it’s shown multiple times that they understand each other better than the other characters do, even in the tough times (Mat sitting quietly with Rand in TSR after the revelations about his family; Rand’s very sincere “I’m sorry you had to [kill Melindhra]” to Mat in TFOH). Rand rescues Mat from death twice in very cinematic ways. Mat is the one who single duels to the death the man who is challenging Rand’s right to be Car’a’carn. From EotW to TFOH, they are the two characters who are the most deeply connected on a narrative level and who go through the most character-changing scenes together and because of each other. And they also suffer incredibly similar traumas and struggles (though the narrative never lets them talk about it together). It really is a shame that as Mat has fully come to terms with Rand as a channeler, Rand is sliding into his arbitrary Men To Be Used/Women To Be Protected false binary.

2. Rand and LTT. For all my complaints about how Rand’s No Killing The Women fixation is kinda arbitrary (given the culture he grew up in), Rand increasingly hearing Lews Therin’s voice and how that affects him is so well done in general. Rand’s scenes involving remembering the Forsaken hit hard; I love the way LTT becomes more and more clear as a personality as we continue through the series.

3. For all that I have my complaints about Perrin and Faile’s romance and for all that I think the whole Lord of the Two Rivers thing makes no sense for Perrin’s story, I do really enjoy a lot of the actual stuff that happens during the Defense of the Two Rivers. I loved getting to see Tam and Verin, etc again and having them brought back into the story, even if it kinda kills me that Perrin doesn’t tell Tam that his son is the Dragon Reborn -- you can tell random strangers but not Rand’s DAD?!? Haha, so this is the most complicated of my favorite arcs.

4. Elayne and Nynaeve’s relationship is a treat as well. Complicated (sometimes they get on each other’s nerves, sometimes they are a united front) but often very very funny. They both go through a lot of character growth on their trip together. Their journey as a whole was very enjoyable, even as I was shouting at them to go to Tear or Cairhien.

5. Asmodean teaches Rand. Short-lived but fascinating while it lasted. Asmodean not being a better man but being willing to do what it takes to live just a bit longer. Rand never coming to trust him but having a complex relationship regardless. There was so much meat and potential here and it’s a shame that it only lasted for a single book.

6. Rand’s journey in TGH of Learning How To Lord (culminating in his hilarious stint in Cairhien) is quite good, actually. It has funny and touching moments and it contains several lessons that Rand genuinely needs to learn, due to all the various cultures he will need to interact with and take charge of in order to prepare for the Last Battle.

7. Moghedien’s journey to becoming Nynaeve’s Arch Rival is pretty fascinating as well. She is so obsessed with Nynaeve at this point; it’s definitely overshadowed whatever instructions she might have from TDO or any of her previous goals about taking down LTT/Rand. She is all about Making Nynaeve Suffer at this point. And then Nynaeve’s triumph over her at the end of TFOH is such a great, complicated moment. Nynaeve gains a captured Forsaken just as Rand is losing his. Kinda narratively poetic, even if Asmodean is Gone Too Soon for my tastes.

8. Speaking of Interesting Things in Tanchico, Egeanin’s mini-arc here of understanding that marath’damane (and thus damane) are actually just... people is fantastic. Definitely the highlight of anything Seanchan-related so far, though Cerandin and her s’drit during the circus arc is also good. The normal, non-Blood & non-sul’dam members of Seanchan society are so much more interesting than the elite/highborn members that we’ve met.

9. Rand and Mat’s road trip in EotW! Best part of the book imo. It’s so intense and it has some trippy fun narrative stuff going on, and so many great moments packed into a relatively short time frame. Honestly, road trips in general seem to bring out some fascinating angles of characterization.

10. Birgitte’s journey from TAR to the waking world. Includes her trying to poke at Nynaeve to get her to forgive herself and not take the blame for Birgitte’s own choices, Elayne bonding Birgitte, Birgitte’s sadness over not being born in sync with Gaidal, then her getting to go back to TAR to help Nynaeve against Moghedien, etc. Lots of great things here.

Least fav arcs (or themes):

1. Egwene breaks her promises and lies to everyone, and harshly punishes/attacks her friends when they (unknowingly) come close to revealing her lies/broken promises. It doesn’t make her a badly-written character -- this all stems from one of her key character traits, her desire to learn No Matter What plus I feel like a lot of it can be traced to her trauma from the Seanchan -- but it does make her very frustrating at the moment. I would like to move past this part of her character arc as swiftly as possible, lol. It’s kinda funny that it feels like Egwene has just as many trust issues as Rand but it feels like she gets called out on it a lot less frequently (in the narrative).

2. Women and Men Just Can’t Understand Each Other. Yes, I know it’s one of the central conceits of the series. But it’s so frustrating and frequently makes so little sense. Falling under this umbrella, I think, is how almost every woman in Rand’s life trusts each other with secrets but rarely ever trusts Rand. Some incredibly nonsense scenes come out of Women and Men Just Can’t Understand Each Other. And whenever Jordan forgets to write them as Women and Men and just writes them as people with various character traits, they actually DO sometimes understand each other just fine (or not, but it’s based on who they are as people rather than WaMJCUEO).

3. In a similar vein: Elayne’s Two Letters. In this reread, they’re just so transparently a narrative excuse so that Rand can have sex with Aviendha guilt-free (on his part; she feels guilty as eff). Essentially, a secret breakup that only Rand knows about, so literally everyone else (who knew that he and Elayne were together in the Stone of Tear) still thinks of Rand/Elayne as The Couple but Rand knows they actually aren’t right now. And it’s even more frustrating because of how often we see Elayne Just Getting It when it comes to Rand and the hard political choices that he must make, so this misunderstanding looming so large in their relationship feels like it doesn’t fit at all with the rest of how Elayne and Rand’s relationship is characterized.

4. Moiraine assigns Lan to another Aes Sedai against his will. Look. Look. If you’re going to go against custom anyway, why not freaking ask Lan and Nynaeve if THEY want to be bonded together. Yes, it’s against custom for an Accepted to have a Warder, but so is what Moiraine actually did. I just feel so awful for Lan here, getting treated this way by Moiraine. And she does this before she knows that she’s going to go through the doorway! She doesn’t learn about that until Rhuidean but she preps to transfer the bond ages before that.

5. Corporal punishment for everyone! Corporal punishment for days! Every institution or group uses violence as one of their main teaching/punishment tools. For all the various cultural distinctions in Randland, all of the cultures beat their students and in all cultures Women and Men Just Can’t Understand Each Other.

7. Min talks herself into loving Rand and manages to make Loving Rand her main personality trait even before she’s reunited with him. How? Why? She has such a neat superpower, surely Jordan could have thought of a better plotline for her.

8. Perrin becoming ‘Lord of the Two Rivers’. It makes no real sense with the themes of his character and doesn’t make sense with how the Two Rivers has previously been characterized as a community. All the various petty thoughts Perrin has about the people of the Two Rivers doesn’t help.

Top 10 characters (in alphabetical order because I can’t pick):

1. Asmodean! My favorite Forsaken tbh. He’s definitely Not A Good Person but he’s interesting and we get some great on-page time with him. He was definitely not around long enough! Would have loved him as Rand’s teacher for more than one book.

2. Aviendha! My love. She is still pretty violent and jealous by the end of this book and she confuses me frequently, but she is never boring and her storyline with Rand in TSR/TFOH is really good and believably paced until we get to the bit with the actual sex.

3. Bashere! A lot of impact in a single scene. Partly I’m influenced by having just finished TFoH but it’s such a relief to run across someone who listens to Rand’s arguments about how important saving the world is and how frustrating all the politics have been and going... yeah, agreed, I will 100% work with you.

4. Elayne! Her scenes are always Such A Delight To Read. She can frustrate me at times (let’s not talk about her flirting with Thom lol) but her internal narration is so charming. I love her journey of self-discovery, I love most of her struggles with the various things that she wants.

5. Mat! His head is a fascinating place to visit tbh. He does an impressive amount of lying to himself (which doesn’t bother me the way that lying to other people does) yet Jordan does an equally impressive job of making it clear what’s really going on.

6. Morgase! Another one that I didn’t remember that I liked so much at this point. But her managing to hold onto so much of herself through Rahvin’s Compulsion is so impressive and though she doesn’t have many scenes in these books, we can see her character shining through. Lini is kinda attached here as a rider to Morgase; I love their relationship, though I wish it were possible for me to let her know that Morgase was magically compelled to love ‘Gaebril’.

7. Nynaeve! So much love and affection for this women who is Trying So Hard at all times. I hated so much that she got beaten down so hard in TFOH, but the last scenes with her in Salidar are pretty great. I love her struggle with trying to forgive herself with what she (believes) she did to Birgitte -- which is actually a fairly good match to Rand’s struggle to accept that the Maidens made their own choices to risk their lives, I realize.

8. Rand! It can be depressing AF to be in his head sometimes, but it’s generally quite interesting and I have deep, deep affection for him. He’s on a negative character growth arc, becoming harder and angrier, etc. as a person but when we’re inside his head, we can see how much regret he has over it even when it doesn’t show on the outside or he denies it. And we sometimes get these pure moments where we can see that the boy from EotW is still in there.

9. Siuan! A surprise addition tbh. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed her sheer determination after she gets stilled. She forces herself to want to live again by force of will and I am in awe. I really hope we get most of her arc in the show (except one or two elements lol).

10. Verin! We have not see enough of her yet in the series but I feel safe including her, even with what we have seen. Always a thrill to see Verin pop up.

Fav scenes (not in order; incomplete):

1. Nynaeve vs Moghedien in Tanchico. Tense. Amazing ending!

2. Everything about Rand and Mat in Rhuidean. Some of my favorite writing in the series.

3. Mat accidentally becomes a general.

4. Elayne and Rand’s garden wall meeting.

5. Breaking into the Stone of Tear, all sides of it.

6. Faile and Perrin’s wedding is good, actually, and gets to me. Even if I think it happened way too soon.

7. Rand and Aviendha’s encounter with the Seanchan post-igloo. FASCINATING. The Seanchan culture gives me a visceral disgust but I do appreciate some of the scenes where we learn more about how their culture works and the ways in which their culture is so incredibly broken.

8. Moiraine going through the doorway with Lanfear. Top marks for Damodred dramatics.

9. The Heroes of the Horn and the Battle at Falme.

10. Rand gets told he’s the Dragon Reborn while facing the Amrylin Seat (and Moiraine and Verin).

11. Mat sits quietly with Rand after Rand finds out about his birth parents and they’ve both gone through the trauma of Rhuidean.

12. Rand tries to make Elayne a flower out of feathers; she keeps the feathers because he wanted it to be a flower.

13. Elayne walking the tightrope without her cushion of Air to protect her from potential death! I feel like it sums her up so well as a character.

14. Rand coming to Cold Rocks Hold and doing the Aiel welcoming ceremony with Lian. It’s such a heartwarming moment when both he and Lian mix Aiel and wetlander customs and she honors him so highly.

15. Egwene helping Rand hide from the Aes Sedai in TGH.

16. Nynaeve playing at being a broken bird so that she can capture Moghedien in TAR.

17. Rand stalking Rahvin through TAR while Nynaeve and Moghedien are scrambling around with Nynaeve trying to figure out how to help. And then Rand reuniting briefly with Nynaeve and then his transcendently happy reunion with Aviendha and Mat being alive again after Rahvin had killed them. These two chapters are just very tense and thus such relief at the ending of them!

Thoughts on canon Romances so far:

For the Rand romances: Rand/Elayne is top-tier content whenever they’re allowed to interact, which isn’t anywhere near often enough. Rand/Aviendha is solid enemies-to-frie... oops, Jordan’s heavy foot on the gas kinda skipped them straight to lovers. But I like that Aviendha is still generally prickly after they have sex. It’s still enemies-to-lovers in her heart, even if they’ve already had sex, and I respect that. Rand/Min basically only exists in Min’s head at this point. Rand has had an occasional sexy dream/thought about her but that does not make for a relationship.

For Egwene: Egwene’s romances really have the heaviest Hand of Author on them. Her backstory with Rand changes too many times to count, but also her feelings about Galad and Gawyn essentially get retroactively swapped between books. So, at this point, my assessment of her romances is ????

For Mat: honestly, my main feeling post-TFoH is ‘not everyone needs to end up in a relationship just let the man be a free spirit he is hurting NO ONE’ lol. Like, I ship cauthor pretty hard at this point but, canon-wise, Mat just wants casual romances that end when his situation changes and that’s a perfectly valid thing for him to want as long as he’s honest with his sex partners. He doesn’t need to be stuffed into a monogamous relationship and it made him unhappy when Melindhra essentially boxed him into one.

For Perrin: oh, boy. His relationship with Faile has occasional good moments (the wedding was very nice! and so was his letter) but... overall. Yikes. Toxic heterosexuality, if that’s a thing. Kinda hoping it gets better now that they’re married. I’m trying to keep an open mind for my reread lol.

For Nynaeve: her romance with Lan doesn’t have enough screentime, but it’s probably the most solid of Jordan’s romances. Already approve of the changes that the show has made to bring this out more in S1 tho.

I decided to break these into three sections due to books 1-5 kinda dealing with similar character dynamics and ending on such a high/triumphant note (though with some undertones of danger in Rand’s overdosing of saidin and how it has been affecting him).

This feels like a nice place to take stock of my feelings, since the next book kinda shifts the characters to their new places for books Lord of Chaos-Knife of Dreams (I figured it also made sense to evaluate the Sanderson books separately; I’m going to do my best of look at... certain characters as if I didn’t know how the series ends for them and take them as they come). And Lord of Chaos is kinda a transition book, iirc, where we begin to move into The New Normal for several of the characters going forward.

These two comments are sooo on point, and summarize (so wonderfully) what I have said to both young men and young women I have had the privilege and honor of befriending in my life. Attractiveness is not so much the looks as how they 'carry' themselves through life.

My now late wife ( 42 years married) was the typical average looking woman (and me the average looking guy). She would call herself 'plain' because she wasn't amazingly beautiful or perfect weight (who is?). But she was curvaceous and that along with her SMILE and her EYES and her caring compassionate demeanor made her the goddess that she most certainly was. She was rather naive about her physical assets and beauty, and I gloated inside when some guy (sometimes younger guy) would be chatting with her but unable to focus on just her eyes -- you all know what I mean ; ) ---She was quietly sexy in so many ways....And yes when we first met, and you don't know their demeanor --me being a guy --I did notice her figure..but most of all her beautiful smile as she interacted with her friends---and her twinkling eyes!

And yes she didn't want overt PDA in a true public venue but we touched and stood beside each other at gatherings that made a female friend/coworker I know report to me later that we were the 'hottest couple' in the room at her party (we were in our 40s to 50s by then). Because the observer said you didnt 'hang on her' but even when you two were talking to separate people, you were always in the other's circle like planet and sun moving about with a gravitational 'pull'. The way I made sure she always had a fresh drink, etc. touched her arm...etc. That third party friend really saw the undercurrent of passion that we did share.

And we did that in the kitchen,,bumping against each other...reaching around each other...kitchens get pretty hot..

Watching TV? Always sat beside her, thigh touching hers..one of us with a hand on the others knee...just watching TV..but better than sitting on separate couches or chairs...handholding...if it was our fav tv show or a movie....Touch = Love (even if your aren't making out)!

Not to say it wasn't a continual battle over her self esteem....I spent long time getting her to acknowledge her true attractiveness (to me if no one else). I couldn't mention how other men gave her attention (w/o her realizing it) bec it would have made her feel awkward or self conscious (and maybe she would have worn less attractive outfits !) I take it as a compliment that guys may look and like what they see..(within reason...you ask for a phone number and you and me, we'd be talkin' ). And she might tell you where her eyes are if you aren't careful :). but I know she's coming home with me...and she the same!

So like the advice given above...If you have a classic, 'beautiful model' type of wife or gf, good for you! MOST people will fall into the middle some where....Make your girl/wife feel like the ''trophy wife' that she really is....Treat her like 'arm candy' ---- Intelligent, respected 'arm candy'....like a woman of VALUE and WORTHINESS to you....Because She Is....

"Guys, if you're comparing your girl to p*rnstars, OnlyFans girls, or Instagram influencers, trust me, you're making a huge mistake. Instead, embrace her natural beauty and make her feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. Remember, true beauty is worth more than any superficial comparison, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you prioritize plastic perfection over genuine gold."

I'm bored and in a kkg brainrot mood, so i'm just gonna rant about my opinions of kakegurui ships and i will make some headcanons:

Kirasaya

Ok i had to start with them bc they're just too iconic, i think they have one of the most interesting and complex dynamics in kkg, they really got me obsessed with them, it's probably my number one kakegurui ship and the reason i started watching the show and reading the manga. Honestly yeah their relationship has some power imbalance, since sayaka is kirari's secretary, and is probably disfunctional, but contrary to what some ppl say kirasaya is not abusive, kirari never physically or emotionally abuses sayaka throughout the story. Anyway they're a 10/10, peak lesbian yearning, if they don't kiss at least one i will jump the author. Probably one of my fav ships ever, i think they're made for each other and i can't see kirasaya with anyone else, they're just so good together and their chemistry is >>>>>>

Yumary

Ok this one is kinda an unpopular opinion bc most people like yumary, but honestly i can't get invested into it, there's something in this ship that doesn't make my heart go "fuck yeah they should be gfs". Personally i don't ship yumeko with anyone bc i can't imagine her in a relationship since her main thing is being a compulsive gambler, her existence revolves around it and she forms relationships when they're useful for her gambling games. I think yumary could be friends with benefits for some time, but after a while mary would probably break it off because i don't think she can handle a sexual/romantic relationship with yumeko and after a while it would make her go nuts. A friendship between them is already messy and complicated and honestly i don't think they are compatible that way. Yes they have chemistry and there's probably some mutual attraction but to me it's a no. Also can cishet dudes stop fetishizing this ship ? My vote is 6/10, mostly bc mary doesn't seem much physically comfortable with yumeko, idk mary just seems off with her in that sense and i prefer them as gambling partners or friends.

Meariri

I honestly love this ship, especially after reading the manga, they have such an great dynamic, i think they both care about each other, they have chemistry and i think they're compatible and that their personalities compliment each other, mary is often loud and aggressive and passionate while ririka is more closed off and quiet, they're like fire and ice and this case i think the saying "opposite attract" works with them. Mary counts on ririka and i love the fact that she is so comfortable with her physically (mary is almost always the one to initiate the contact, holding her hand, touching her head, etc) and ririka gets inspired by mary to be her own person and chase her goals. Plus they're really cute together, aesthetically i find them the most attractive couple, i'll give them a solid 9/10

Itsukaede

Lmao i don't even know if this is the correct ship name for itsuki x kaede, ok i don't hate it and i think they could work as a couple, it's not my cup of tea bc m/f ships bore me, but i like their relationship, they have the kind of old married couple dynamic that always works. 6/10.

Ryomeko

I can see it happening, i don't ship it, but i don't mind it either, i'm kinda neutral about ryota x yumeko, but i think he's one of the ppl who care about yumeko the most in that academy (with also mary ofc), the ship is boring bc ryota is bland (he's a good guy don't get me wrong and he defo doesn't deserve the hate he gets) and as i said previously i don't ship yumeko with anyone. Sorry i gotta give it 5/6 out of 10

Yumedari

Ok i love midari but just like yumeko, i don't ship her with anyone bc i see her as someone who's too much unstable for relationships, but i know that canonically she loves/likes/is attracted to yumeko so i don't hate this ship, i think it's decent, the only problem is that yumeko hates midari. Still i think that since they're the most insane mfs in that school somehow this ship could work. 6/10

Yuridari

Again midari in my eyes is kinda unshippable, but this ship is not bad at all, they would have that kind of bickering married couple dynamic like itsuki and kaede, i like it but it doesn't do much for me. 7/10

Ryomary

Jsjssjsksk i looked the name of mary x ryota's ship on wiki so if it sounds weird it's bc i don't know their ship name and i have looked at the first site google gave me. This ship is hard no, mainly bc ryota is very bland and i consider mary a lesbian (i read that she is a canon lesbian but idk if it's confirmed by the author, let's say lesbian mary is just my hc) so shipping her with men feels like a hate crime to me, mary is for the girls only, 4/10.

Tsumary

They are kind of cute together right ? I think they're adorable, tsuzura is mary's first love and i think that someone like her would make mary very happy. I still haven't finished kkg twin, so my opinion on tsuzura is incompleted and it might change, i don't hate her but i find her character a little basic/boring so even though this ship is cute it doesn't make me fall in love with them. 7/10 bc probably also tsuzura had feelings for mary and they have a healthy dynamic, you can see they love each other.

Midasaya

I enjoy this crackship, i know that they both like different people but i headcanon that they were together during middle school or that midari had at least a small crush on sayaka during that time, before kirari came to hyakkaou i like to think that they explored their sexuality together so midari was probably sayaka's first kiss, her first date, etc, so they would have history together and we also see that midari knows sayaka bc her character is described through her pov during tower of doors. I find this ship pretty funny bc sayaka is always so serious and composed and midari is a ball of chaos. 7/10

Yumesaya

This is another crackship i don't mind and find hilarious, yeah i'm a huge kirasaya stan but i'm also a multishipper and sayaka deserves all the girls in the world, so the more the merrier. I like to think this ship as one sided love in which yumeko sort of pines after sayaka and i think it would be very interesting to see kirari being jeaulous that sayaka is getting yumeko's attention. We saw jeaulous/protective sayaka in kakegurui, but i would also like to see how kirari reacts when someone tries to take sayaka away from her, it would be really interesting. Obv this would create some tension between kirasaya and also between kirari and yumeko, almost a sort of love triangle dynamic. My opinion is that yumeko is just too unstable to settle down, also they both probably would get bored/lose interest in each other after the heat of the moment. 6/10

Ririsaya

Sorry but i really can't see it happening not even if i squint, but i really enjoy the ririsaya fanfictions and i think those works are pretty great even though i don't ship them very much. It would be interesting if both twins were in love with sayaka and there was some tension/coldness between them for a while bc they liked the same girl (maybe i read too many fanfictions). My headcanon is that both sayaka and ririka had a crush on each other when they first knew each other and for sayaka it was probably pretty confusing bc she already had feelings for kirari. I see them as friends, 7/10

Yumemisaori

Again idk if this is the correct name of the ship, many said that yumemi and saori are a healthier/mentally stable version of kirasaya and i agree. the dynamics are similar bc we have the secratary that is willing to do everything for her boss and the relationship is a little more balanced, i think they would be very cute together, but sadly they had very little interactions and if i could see more of them i would probably ship them even more. I like them 7/10.

Sachiko x Mary

I didn't even find a ship name for this couple, so they must be pretty unpopular, i like both characters and their antagonistic dyanamic is very interesting, but i don't ship them much bc i think mary needs/wants someone who is completely different from sachiko, who wants to make mary her pet and mary is someone who cares very much about her freedom, her indipendence and wants to make her own choices and this completely clashes with sachiko's extremely sadistic and domineering nature. I prefer them as enemies who have some sexual tension or enemies with benefits or one night stand adventure, but nothing more. 5/6 out of 10 bc the only mary ship i really love is meariri and i also like tsuzumary a bit.

Sachiko x Mikura

This is probably one of the most unhealthy relationships in kakegurui, but i kinda like it. Their dyanmic is pretty much vertical with sachiko who has all the power and makes mikuro do everything she wants and mikura who is completely obsessed and devoted to sachiko (my opinion is that she developed a sort of stockholm syndrome towards sachiko). I think that someone like sachiko could never have genuine romantic relationships bc of her extremely sadistic nature, she sees ppl like toys to break and what she enjoys the most is seeing ppl suffer, so the only compatible person with sachiko is someone extremely masochistic like mikura. Giving them a 6/7 out of 10 bc their interactions are fun/interesting and spice things up.

Rin x Ibara and Yumeko x Kirari

Hard no to both of them, i don't ship incest, yall can do what you want but personally it's a huge no for me. When i first started watching the anime at the beginning i thought yumeko and kirari had some sort of tension and could have been enemies to lovers (lmaoo i was so naive), but then i discovered they were cousins and i saw more kirasaya interactions so i got completely turned off by this ship. 3/10 to both of these ships.

Sachiko x Sakura

Now this ship is very sexy, idk why i like it but i do, yes i don't see sachiko with anyone besides mikura, but this pairing is not bad at all, even though it's a crackship. I think they would be rivals with benefits and would argue a lot and then make out/have hot sex. 7/10 (maybe it's too high but since these are just my opinions i won't be objective)

Mary x kirari

Uhm is there really someone out there who ships them ? Yeah i thought they had some sexual tension in s1 with that tea scene, but it's a no from me, i don't like it and i don't think they're compatible in any way, i can't see kirari with anyone who isn't sayaka. 4/10

Can I get headcannons on the types of partners the straw hats would want to date? Thank you!

Chopper is baby so I'm not including him x

Otherwise YES let’s go!!!

Luffy

If you can’t make Luffy laugh, you’re not his type. Point Blank.

Needs someone with a HUGE sense of adventure, this is the future king of the pirates we are talking about.

I headcanon Luffy as aro/ace so he is big on platonic love and loyalty above anything else. You gotta be cool with platonic dating bc you’re probably not gonna get much else from him.

Gotta love his friends as much as he does.

Can you cook? YES: Definitely his type. More food the better.

Zoro

I think he would like someone based on their merit and morale more than looks or anything like that.

A drinking partner would be nice, or at least keep him company while he drinks.

Can’t handle a crybaby. He can’t deal with it because he’s too blunt. Not that he doesn’t care just that well. He’s not the best at comforting someone who’s crying.

He’s pretty versatile, I think he would work well both with someone who is more reserved or someone with a hot temper. He is adaptable in dating situations. Though don’t be upset if he walks away from a big fight because that’s way too much to deal with.

Nami

I headcanon Nami as a lesbian but like. Not above using men for money or a free meal. Gotta do what ya gotta do to survive.

I saw a tiktok of someone in a marina yelling “I’m looking for a sugar daddy with a BOAT” and I can’t stop thinking about Nami. It’s perfect. That’s what I mean

But seriously Nami is a big dreamer who needs someone to be the wind in her sails… no pun intended.

Someone FUN. A shopping buddy or someone who likes to dress up with her for fun. Brunch dates are a must.

Can’t deal with anyone clingy, I think she’s probably afraid of real commitment, but once she falls for you she would be ride or die for you.

Usopp

I think Usopp’s love language is gift giving. He’ll bring you little trinkets, flowers, even cool rocks if he thinks you would appreciate them. Anything that reminds him of his partner makes him happy.

He needs someone who could see through his bullshit and understand if something was really upsetting him. Someone empathetic enough to ignore the little white lies and knows that he wouldn’t ever lie to hurt them.

Literally if you are his personal cheerleader he would fall for you so fast. Boy needs a support network who believes in him.

He’s attracted to other creative people! Draw with him, cuddle up and make up stories together, sing stupid little song with him in the crows nest. He’d loved it.

He’s a sucker for someone with a beautiful smile and a cute laugh.

Sanji

LISTEN this boy is girl crazy but I also think he is in denial about being a bisexual.

I headcanon Sanji as bi and trans masc. (I won’t write him trans unless asked but like that’s my fav Sanji headcanon.)

This boy is chock full of the trauma™ and needs a really supportive partner because if you’re more than a one night stand, he’d probably end up in tears talking about his past with you. Someone empathetic and understanding is a must.

Can you cook? Yes: Cook with him! He would love to have a hand from the one he loved in the kitchen.

Really flirty when he’s single, but if he gets hit ON he gets flustered and fumbles over his words and probably nosebleed-y. Easy catch after that.

Even though he’s so flirty, if he was in a serious relationship all of that energy would be devoted to his partner. Though if you were open and comfortable he’d love a relationship where you would both be like “whoa check out that girl she’s fiiiiiiine.”

Robin

Either academic types or dumbasses. No inbetween.

“You’re stupid: I like that in a Man.”

I see her as bisexual or pansexual. She wouldn’t really care about anything physical, just who you are and how you treat people.

Someone to balance her would be nice.

Needs someone who would hype her up but also be there for her if she had bad flashbacks because of PTSD from her childhood trauma.

Someone with a sense of humor to compliment her own dark humor (or at least laugh at it) would be the key to her heart.

Loves a library or cafe date. Sit quietly, have a drink, and be together quietly in each other’s presence.

Franky

He’s the friend group’s token cis straight. But he fucking loves his crew and they are all supported by this huge beautiful ally.

Acts like a himbo but then does complex engineering science in the same sentence.

Needs someone intellectual or he’d get bored.

Prefers a smaller partner (not hard with his stature, tbh) Loves to give a piggyback ride or pick his partner up bridal style.

He looks for someone loyal. He needs the tight knit relationship in his life.

Someone who would match his energy would flow well, he has so much and either needs that energy matched or calmed.

Brook

Listen, this flirt is a flirt and he knows that he’s suave.

Definitely pansexual, though he can’t derive much pleasure out of sexual interactions himself, he would be up for pleasing a partner.

Loves someone who knows their music. Sing with him, write music with him, or play an instrument and have a jam session. That’s his all time favorite date.

Wants more than a groupie in his life, though he’s afraid of falling for someone and watching them die because he outlives them. (I’m sorry for this angst in the middle of all the fluff but it KILLs ME)

Must love animals (especially whales).

Loves an extrovert. He wants to go out and DO things, and wouldn’t work well with someone who wanted to be at home all the time.

ask game: 3 and 5 for any of the following that you have thoughts abt! (Some of them are not really textual friendships and more wishful thinking haha) finrod&Turgon, finrod&luthien, Galadriel&luthien, finarfin&fingolfin. (Can you tell the arafinweans are my favs 😅)

ANON PLEASE BEFRIEND ME YOU'RE GOING FOR ALL MY FAVORITE UNPOPULAR RELATIONSHIPS!!!

Under a cut for length, because I'm doing all of them as a token of friendship 🥺

A random headcanon I have of them

Finrod & Turgon

I think I have mentioned the comedy potential of Finrod & Turgon: Adventures In Having Sisters Born In The Same Year, haven't I? I'm pretty sure I have so I'll pick something else. They both like maps and architecture, and between them, they must've drawn schematics and artistic sketches of every inch of Eldamar. They actually have plans to build the prettiest settlement in Aman, but they're too perfectionist about it and never get to the end of the project before Exile.

Finrod & Luthien

Is it too horrible to pick as my headcanon that the only reason Luthien doesn't get very Shaken when she learns of Finrod's death is because Beren needs her to not fall apart? Okay if that's too horrible, I'll go with: Luthien assigns herself as Finrod's guide in Doriath and he has so many questions about Menegroth that at some point she actually laughs at him, which is a diplomatic faux pas but Finrod finds very endearing.

Galadriel & Luthien

You know how Galadriel has her little apprenticeship under Melian? Luthien looks at that and goes "It's free cousin!!!" Well, they're once removed, but that's the closest thing to a cousin Luthien has available and she's loving it. Galadriel, who associates cousins with varying degrees of headaches, is pleasantly surprised to find Luthien has almost as many braincells as her mother. They never become very close friends because they don't share many interests but they consider each other family and act accordingly.

Finarfin & Fingolfin

Fingolfin is very protective of Finarfin. You think fanon Maedhros is intense about being a big brother? The Fingolfin of my headcanons is Worse. In all ways but literal, Fingolfin is standing between Finarfin and the world. By "the world" what I actually mean is Feanor. In return, you know Galadriel's infamous hatred for Feanor? She got that from her father, he's just quieter about it. Finarfin also has all but cut ties with Finwe over the blatant favoritism of the guy making his brother's life a living hell.

A scene I wish we had of them

Finrod & Turgon

I know Turgon has closer kin than that, but I actually feel Finrod might have been the one to comfort him and Idril immediately after Elenwe's death, and I would like to see that.

Finrod & Luthien

Well what I actually actually want is for them to interact during the Leithian saga, but that's not something that can happen in canon. Something plausible that would delight me would be seeing them comparing notes on songs of power. Would also work as foreshadowing. Tolkien missed an opportunity there :/

Galadriel & Luthien

Any. Literally any. The POWER Galadriel and Luthien would have together, oh my god. If they're hanging out with Melian, I think books could not physically contain the awesomeness! If I had to choose just one thing, I would like to see them talk about beauty. Not because they're beautiful, but because they're The Most Beautiful of their peoples, and they both fall in love with men who seem to value them for other reasons. I feel like they might have some Thoughts about this, and I feel you could have a... Finrod and Andreth kind of debate where they discuss all sorts of topics going off this premise. The Debate of Luthien and Galadriel, with notes on the relationship between hroar and fear. Or something.

Finarfin & Fingolfin

Okay, Feanor pulls a sword on Fingolfin and Fingolfin goes see Finarfin and......??? I'm begging Tolkien to have a whole chapter about that!!

#ask game #tolkien reading day festivities #please talk to me anon!!!!!!

Hiiii!!! 💫💕🌸🥳

Can I bother with a question... I was (re)watching that zhang qiling edit (not today) - 'cause it's so cool, btw- and I wondered if Reboot Xiaoge’s your favourite one...? And if you're up to answering, what do you think about the other adaptations? Especially (our small bean) xiao yuliang's interpretation of xiaoge?

🤗🌺💐🐰💕

Hey, my precious patootie hehe ILY it always makes me very happy knowing that you rewatch my vids <3

lol dang it, I was kinda hoping to avoid this question, just because I feel like I'd find it hella hard to explain some things, but I'll try my best and hopefully it'll make some sense xD

I'll start from afar bc I wanna try to explain my reasonings, since I don't want to go without arguments into such highly debated question lolz. I talked about this a bit in my previous asks somewhere, but not broadly as to why that one guy hit all the right spots.

So throughout the books Wu Xie always does this wonderful thing, where he very tangibly describes the feeling he gets when Xiaoge is near, I mean like the aura around him. And he always somehow does it so colorful, that this mix of safety, assurance, calmness, composure and some things I can't quite put into one noun, that he brings to him, I think everyone who've read the books can recognize as this almost magical "Xiaoge feeling". It's not just the way he acts in some dangerous situations or smth like that. It's just everything. You either have it or you don't. And here goes my first argument... to me none of them, except for Huang Junjie and Yuliang have it.

I mean it's not even the obvious stuff, it's like the way they move during the action scenes, the way they even stand and hold themselves, the way they touch Wu Xie, the tone of their voices (both of which are like soothing as fuck), little things you'd think wouldn't matter, but when you watch it and all the puzzle pieces are together, you're like... fuck yeah, thats him.

Also not really that weighty of a point, but to me there's always a joy to see that the actor who plays the character not only gets what's he's playing, but also loves it, bc it's always seen on screen. Usually when some asked about the character they play and what they have in common for example they answer with obvious things like if some character is introverted they're like "well I also don't talk very much" or smth like that, you know what I mean. When I was watching interviews of Yuliang and Huang Junjie I was just smiling so much, bc they've said such things that made me go "yeah, Qiling is safe in their hands".

In Reboot case working in such close proximity with the author definitely also played a huge role here. Bc it kinda gets complicated in some aspects since the books are written from Wu Xie's point of view and you can't only base your picture on his perspective, just bc it's coming from a person who after being basically told "you're my whole world" goes "I'm just a person he randomly passes by in his long life" in his thoughts. Not only he's utterly clueless and dumb when it comes to all this, that he wouldn't notice the way Qiling looks at him and other things, its also not that kind of book, that would go "I suddenly caught poker face looking at me like I'm his whole existence" (and I honestly don't want it to be that book lmao). So you have to take into the account here stuff like what author says to get the whole picture, bc if you look at that from the point of Qiling's view for example, this shit takes a whole wild turn. So I really loved that in UN and Reboot ways of showing Qiling's feelings were well thought out and fit the timeline.

Bc it also works both ways, when it comes to other adaptations. Like Qiling is very and I mean ETREMELY hard to win over. We all know that it was a very long process of gaining his trust and even longer for him to fall for Wu Xie to the point of him being his everything. So what I want in those interpretations is for them to get at which point of their relationships what Xiaoge's behavior makes sense. I do not need any fanservice if it ruins the character, I'll just hate it. The thing that their feelings didn't come out of nowhere is what I LOVE about this ship, bc I'm not the kind of person who believes in "we love for nothing" thing and love at first sight thing (only "got hots for each other" at first sight), bc thats bull. Wu Xie became his everything after a long LONG process of getting to know each other. At the beginning tho he was the same stranger to him as everyone else. So what Reboot Qiling feels for Wu Xie is not what UN's Qiling feels for Wu Xie yet and what UN's Qiling feels for Wu Xie is not what Lost Tomb's Qiling feels for Wu Xie (which at that point was nothing). And I feel like not everyone gets the fact that you can totally wreck the character if you make him behave not the way he behaved in that particular time. Like for example, if someone would make a MDZS adaptation where at the very beginning of their relationships LZ treats WWX the way he treated him after the reincarnation just because "who cares, it's still LZ", that would be dumb af, see what I mean. So Xiaoge having a weakness for Wu Xie in part one is automatically not a Xiaoge to me, bc a huge part of his character and the thing NPSS speaks a lot about is just how IMPOSSIBLE it is for someone to catch his attention and how long it took Wu Xie to get there. So let's just say to me UN and Reboot Qilings for the first time didn't feel like some mashup or character summary/parody, they were Qilings the way they are supposed to be in that part of the story, bc it was the only times someone actually bothered to coordinate it.

Now as to why I prefer one to another. Xiaoge has this thing... the way he holds himself with other people, that is sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally suppressing.

Like everyone knows that if you're a passerby, Qiling genuinely doesn't fucking care and would in fact be pretty harsh about it in terms of treating people like they do not deserve their attention. He won't be like "please, don't bother me", he simply ignored them like an empty space. He is also like that with acquaintances who in his opinion do not deserve his respect like that girl who went hysterical, bc she was upset that he was the only one who wasn't drooling on her like all other men on the crew, Chen Wenjin, Wu Xie's uncles and etc. He's not openly disrespectful unless they trigger him in some way (usually by trying to act superior or later on for not treating Wu Xie right), but if they do, he will in fact remind them their place in sometimes a very rude way, at times humiliating them in front of ppl bc he looks younger than them and talking starts.

He's always doing things on his own terms and hates being told what to do. Like he legit scared Chen Wenjin just with a look and the tone of his voice when he said "let go", when she tried to command him on the mission and grabbed him trying to lecture him about what he should or shouldn't do. That's why Wu Erbai didn't even try anything like this and let him do whatever he needed to do and equally lead the mission in Reboot. And why the scene where Wu Xie 'commands' "Xiaoge, come back" and he immediately listens holds another special place in my heart. Bc he NEVER and I mean NEVER allows such things to ANYONE.

So here I came to a point of why despite loving them both dearly, my favorite Xiaoge is Huang Junjie.

I have this dissonance with Yuliang's version when to me in many scenes it felt like he and Wu Xie are the same age. Like if he was Xiaoge, but in his 20s. In his interactions with Chen Wenjin the dynamics was turned upside down, with him being okay with her telling him what to do and just in general the way she behaved with him. Same as like I didn't always quite believe him to be on par with older generation or even Pangzi, it just felt like he was truly younger than them. Some scenes that I do find extremely cute just don't fit book Xiaoge at all, I'm talking about some moments like his face when Wu Xie gave him food, or him pouting and many things he's done, when you were going "uwu he's a baby". He just never gives me this feeling in the books ever, not just bc he's 100 years old, but sad fact here.. bc he's simply unable to behave that way. Like in the books you'll desperately want to shower him with love, but he's just... I can't quite explain, it's very sad.

I guess it's just you know these characters, who are like hundreds years old, but look like they're 18? I think you have to be very careful with how you write those, so you could deliver that. And in UN because of some changed dynamics and scenes I straight up forgot about it, until Wu Xie threw some joke like "he's an old man" in front of a restaurant.

In Reboot Xiaoge could make Wu Erbai stutter with one move, put Yuliang's version in the same scene, I just don't think it would've worked. Like I'm trying to imagine him telling UN's Wu Erbai what to do and having troubles already haha. Same as I don't think he's capable to be genuinely mad at Wu Xie, and HJJ nailed it esp in one of my fav when Wu Xie was laughing at Pangzi's joke about him catching cold. The look he gave him and how ZYL just retreated was priceless xD. And boy could Qiling get angry with him in the books!

Otherwise I didn't have any drastic fall outs there, like with Joseph's Wu Xie and Ah Ning's death, because that was just too much of a difference, but there were still moments where it was once again this the same scene completely different emotion thing. He was more tolerable to ppl in general here, more pliable. And 50% of the time he gave me the cute lost kitten type, which I just cannot connect with the feeling he gave me in the books. His personality is a cat type 100%, but like seriously "cute baby" is the last word combination I would ever apply to book Xiaoge, but with Yuliang's version it's easily applied. So small bean he is indeed. With Joseph and in UN it works incredibly perfect to me, but the way he is in UN is at times too gentle. And there are lots of scenes where Joseph himself looked at him in a way "you're too cute, let me pinch your cheeks" kind of way, or the way he like sat down next to him on the coast, he was a bit babying him at times. I can't imagine book pingxie doing that. It's just a whole different vibe, the way he takes care of him, the way he lets him take care of him... it's...uuuuuuuuu another vibe (see, I'm so good at explaining lmao).

It's also kinda funny to me, bc HJJ who's the smallest and who irl truly a kitten never once gave me that feeling on screen for some reason. The one babied and loved by every crew and old ppl, who was cutely hiding behind ZYL's back on set, who won't sue an ex who almost ruined his career bc of how stupid she is, bc he "didn't want to hurt her", who according to staff can't even step on a fly, whom CMH was petting for several minutes after he had to hit him with a prop brick bc he didn't wanna do it lmao. I was just like.. ok, this is hilarious, bc I in fact didn't expect him to be a small bean, so watching all the bts made me go LOOOOL. Probably ZYL acting like a 3 year old helped him transform and the age difference problem got lost lmao

As for other adaptations. You know I can't watch seriously "Lost Tomb", I think some ppl probably have some nostalgic feeling about it, but I'm sorry, to me it's fucking hilarious. Like I've already said it looks like some type of twilight parody thing or smth. Soft damselle Wu Xie esp killed me, bc 1st when he ever was that, 2nd in the first book he's salty af, I don't even know this dude in this interpretation, I was like who's this. YangYang I know him from other things, I really don't think it's his role. I know the script and everything is bad. I know the costume and hair are horrendously funny, but it's just I was watching him in those action scenes and was like no... just I'm sorry but I'm not feeling it. I simply just don't know what to say about the whole thing seriously, bc I don't even know where to start. 10 episodes of some salad finished with one mutilated scene from book 6 for no reason the fact that characters are weird themselves also I can't quite tell, did they really just meet or they imply smth else lmao.. I'm sorry, but I do not get it.

I've given LT2 another try after finishing all the books and I've dropped it half way through, Cheng Yi wasn't even close to how I pictured Xiaoge in any aspect. He in fact didn't do anything OOC or off the book or anything, I just was like "not my Qiling". Happens sometimes.

Explore with the note you already know how I feel about this lol let's just forget.

P.S. To be fair here also maybe we should take into account the fact that some got luckier than other with "at which point" Xiaoge they're playing. Like for example, "Wrath of the Sea" and "Qingling Tree" books which is LT2 is not exactly you can say much about Qiling there, he trolls them there in the beginning (in a brilliant way that was totally lost in the adaptation) and he is there in "Wrath of Sea", but it's not the part that can make his character shine in any way, there's not much things happening there that would make you fall for him or get to know him; Yuliang grabbed the fattest piece bc it's middle several books, when they're always together and his character shines the most in terms of clues about past, opening up to Wu Xie and Pangzi, and there are many many events where you can get the picture of what kind of man he is; Huang Junjie grabbed my fav piece of utter devotion, where he's already fully and wholeheartedly belongs to Wu Xie, that I'm just weak for. So like... there's also that I guess xD.
