Rodrick likes to think he's a pretty tough guy. Between being born and raised on the rebellious messages of pop punk music, and the nonconforming ideologies of emo and other alt subcultures, Rodrick knows in his bones that he'll never let the man break his spirit. He'll never bow down to someone just because they want him to do something. He's had countless opportunities to stand by these beliefs at school and at home, and he has never - not once - come close to doing anything for someone simply because they want him to. Rodrick has been confident in his ability to never give into other people’s orders, no matter how much they demand of him. 

Until now.

“Pretty please, Roddy…?” You pout your glossy lips at him, blinking up at him and batting your doll like eyelashes, and that’s all it takes to make him fold.

“...I guess, if you really-” He’s cut off by an excited squeal from you, and he’s glad that you’re too distracted to notice him blush. Rodrick has never felt his willpower give in so fast, but as he watches you rush around your room and smile, delighted that he’d agreed, he realizes that he’d do pretty much anything you tell him too. Ben and Chris would call him a pussywhipped simp, but… no, that’s pretty much it. He chuckles a little at the thought, watching the pile of stuff grow. He recognizes nail polish and tweezers, but that’s about it.

“Thank you thank you thank you!” You say, rambling happily as you settle down on your bed across from him. “I’ve been wanting to do self care stuff but I’ve done so many everything showers and self care nights there’s nothing left for me to do on myself. But you…”

You take his face in your manicured hands, moving him around to inspect more closely.

“You are in serious need of a facial.”

Rodrick doesn’t really process what you’re saying, he just loves when you touch his face like that. 

“...Uh, yeah totally.” He mutters absentmindedly, distracted by your sweet smell. After a moment, he processes what you said, and chuckles, leaning back into your silky pink pillows. “Babe, you can do anything to me, anywhere, anytime.” 

You giggle, feeling your face flush a little as you get all your stuff organized. Rodrick runs his hands up and down your waist, fidgeting with your soft fluffy pajama shorts and big loded diper shirt you wear all the time. He sees the little burn marks and worn out hems and realizes it’s the one you stole from him. He smiles softly, loving the way you look in it even more now. His attention is pulled back to you when you push something over his face, brushing his hair back. You adjust the fluffy cat ears on the headband, making sure you have access to his whole face. Rodrick giggles a little, knowing he must look a little out of place wearing a pierce the veil shirt and fluffy kitty cat headband. 

“I don’t think my forehead has been this exposed since like, 4th grade…” he chuckles.

“That’s good, you’ll have less sun damage that way.” You smile, putting some micellar water on a cotton pad. It’s a little cold to the touch, but after a moment, the feeling of you gently wiping over his face and neck ends up being way more relaxing than he had expected it to. You throw it away, and he hears it land in your trash can with a crinkle. 

“I’m gonna mist your face now, okay?” You say, and he nods. You spray rose water on his face, and Rodrick can’t get over how considerate you are to give him a heads up like that. Rodrick smiles a little as he adjusts to the subtle floral smelling facial spray he’s used to smelling on you. He basks in the quietness of your room, opening his eyes as he watches you sitting on his stomach and looking for the next product. You hesitate for a moment. You feel like something’s missing, but you can’t put your finger on it.

“Oh,” you say, reaching for your phone as you remember. You open up Spotify, and put your favorite playlist on shuffle - the one you and Roddy share. It’s full of both your favorite songs, mostly boiling down to early 2000’s pop punk and trashy pop. It’s chaotic but really does suit you both perfectly.  Rodrick smiles suddenly as he instantly recognizes the opening notes of Jesus of Suburbia begin to play. You take out your favorite serum, jasmine and blackberry hydrating jelly, and place a few drops around his face. 

“What’s that one?” Rodrick asks, picking up another bottle. 

“Hyaluronic acid.”

Rodrick looks at the little dropper bottle.

“Does it, like, melt the flesh right off your bones?” 

“No…?” You chuckle, massaging his cheekbones and jawline with your fingertips.

“Then why is it called hydroponic acid?” He asks rhetorically, “Acid is supposed to melt shit.”

You laugh again, and he makes a mental note to sample your laughter for a song at some point in the future. He doesn’t know which one yet, but he knows it will be his best one yet. 

You rub some cooling aloe vera gel into his skin, then take out your rose quartz gua sha stone. You tap your fingertips against his chest, and he looks at you with an amused smile.

“What does that do?”

He watches you work, eyes locked on you. He can’t remember the last time he felt this relaxed and peaceful. 

“I’m prepping your lymphatic drainage system.” 

That clarified absolutely nothing for Rodrick, but he trusts you implicitly. You’re so good at so many things, but Christ, you could write a book on all that girly beauty stuff. It’s way more hardcore than people think it is. You know about all these acids and drainage systems and the pink rock thing, and even though he’s impressed, he’s not at all surprised by how good you are at all this stuff.

You begin gently gliding your gua sha over Roddy’s skin, working from his forehead down to his neck and jawline. He stops talking as you work, and it’s like you melt all of the stress out of his body through his face. He could fall asleep with you touching him so gently like this. After a while you rub some more cream into his face, then place something under his eyes that feels like thinly sliced jello.

“What the fuck?” He asks, bringing another laugh out of you. He watches you take two more of the weird jelly things and put them under your own eyes.

“They’re under eye masks.” You answer with a chuckle. “They hydrate your skin, depuff, and get rid of dark circles.”

“Huh…” he hums in response, playing with the patches as they sit on his face. 

Once you’ve used half your arsenal of skincare products on him, you peel off his sheet mask and let him sit up. You hand him a mirror, and as he sits up and stretches a little, kind of wishing you had more to do, he feels like he just woke up from the best sleep of his life. 

“So? What do you think?” You ask excitedly. He can’t help but crack a smile at how cute you are. Rodrick takes the mirror you offer him. When he sees his reflection, he almost doesn’t recognize himself. 

“Oh my god…” he says with a soft smile. He’s glowing. He doesn’t think he’s ever looked this soft and moisturized and… cared for before. He doesn’t even have any crusty eyeliner from yesterday smudged around his eyes. He can never get it off all the way, but one wave of your magic wand, and it’s gone. He laughs again, touching his cheek. He looks up at you in surprise.

“My face is so smooth…” “I know!” You exclaim in delight. “So, do you like facials after all?”

You have a feeling you already know the answer, but Rodrick looks up at you anyway.

“Yeah,” he states, pulling you in for a kiss, his lips soft and exfoliated, topped with your favorite strawberry lip balm. You think Rodrick is right, it does taste better in a kiss. After he pulls away, it takes him a minute for his brain to stop short circuiting. 

“So… uh, are we doing this again next weekend?” 

You laugh at his hopeful tone of voice, how he raises his eyebrows a little. 

“Yeah.” You nod, taking him in for another kiss. You take his hands in yours, looking at the stick and poke tattoo he got of the heart you drew on his hand in chemistry class, his little calluses from drumming. “Next week I can do something about your cuticles.”

Boom!Shadow is absolutely evil for no reason, and that's what makes him so absurdly entertaining. Sonic doesn’t even bother denying or refuting accusations because, honestly, what’s the point? Shadow will believe the first thing he hears, get irrationally angry when it turns out wrong, threaten to blow up the universe in retaliation, and then, without explanation, change his mind entirely. Why waste the effort trying to connect with someone like that? Sonic’s got better things to do—he has a brain, after all, unlike Shadow, who seems to operate solely on misguided rage and over-the-top dramatics.

Sonic, with his sharp wit and easygoing nature, would absolutely take Shadow’s impulsive, overly dramatic tendencies in stride. He wouldn’t waste time arguing with someone who’s so quick to leap to conclusions and act on them—especially when Shadow's solution is always something over-the-top, like destroying the universe or brooding in the corner about betrayal that didn’t even happen.

It’s both hilarious and tragic: Sonic understands Shadow better than Shadow understands himself, but he knows there’s no reasoning with someone who’s determined to be wrong and angry about it. So why bother refuting the accusations? Let Shadow stew in his own mess—Sonic has a chili dog to eat.

Shadow’s whole "I’m evil because I feel like it" vibe is an endless goldmine for exploration. It makes their relationship as rivals (or allies or more) so compelling because Sonic can be patient, clever, or downright trollish in his approach, while Shadow inevitably spirals into chaos. And somehow, they always meet in the middle when it matters, like they’re two sides of the same coin.

This sums up Boom!Shadow so well—he's such a caricature of his usual brooding self that his absurdity becomes the highlight. It's like he’s a self-parody, taking everything that makes Shadow "Shadow" and cranking it up to eleven for no discernible reason other than sheer chaos. His irrational anger and snap decisions are so overblown they border on comedic genius.

And Sonic? He’s just sitting there, probably eating a chili dog, watching Shadow unravel, like, "This is your circus, and those are your monkeys, dude. I’m not getting involved." It’s a perfect dynamic because Sonic’s refusal to engage only fuels Shadow’s fire, making him even more hilariously unhinged.

The best part is that Sonic clearly knows how ridiculous Shadow is but lets him dig his own grave every time. He’s clever enough to realize that trying to reason with Shadow would be like arguing with a storm—pointless and exhausting. So instead, Sonic just leans back and lets Shadow spiral, knowing full well that, eventually, Shadow will blow up the metaphorical universe and then quietly put it back together like nothing happened.

Yay, it's a new Amphoreus JP localization post! As always, check the "#nihongo thoughts" tag for the previous one! This time, there's no new characters to talk about, so we'll jump straight to the interesting tidbits:

- Mem talks about a 精神と時の部屋/seishin to toki no heya (Room of Spirit and Time) with the Trailblazer and Phainon. That's the original name of Dragon Ball's Hyperbolic Time Chamber;

- Cipher has had the habit of calling Aglaea 裁縫女/saihou-onna (Tailor Woman) since she was a kid;

- Cipher nicknamed Bartholos バルっち (Barcchi). Bartholos calls her 姉御/anego (Big Sister). Addressing others as older siblings is a sign of respect in organized crime;

- Little Ica's name in Japanese is イカルン (Icarun);

- On her last letter to Phainon, Aglaea calls him her 教え子/oshiego (student);

- Cipher calls Phainon 救世の坊や/kyuusei no bouya (Deliverance Boy). Bouya is a fairly casual/rude way to refer to a younger man, which makes it even funnier when Phainon addresses Cipher respectfully with the honorific -san. She also calls herself his 大先輩/daisenpai (Great Senpai) and he starts calling her senpai right away, lmao;

- The JP name of Phainon's new sword is ヘリオス (Helios);

- Tribbie's nicknames for Cipher and Hyacine are フェルちゃん (Pher-chan) and ヒアンシちゃん (Hyaci-chan), respectively. Cipher also calls her お姉さん/onee-san (big sister);

- Hyacine calls her grandmother おばあ様 (obaa-sama), which is really respectful. In contrast, Jacynthia calls her granddaughter 可愛い蜂鳥/kawaii hachidori (cute hummingbird);

- Phainon's been starting to refer to his companions as 戦友/sen'yuu (comrade in arms) recently;

- Cipher calls Flame Reaver ハイエナちゃん (Hyena-chan) and Mydei ライオンちゃん (Lion-chan);

- During their last conversation, Hyacine forgoes her cutesy nickname for Dan Heng and calls him by his proper name. She uses the affectionate suffix くん (-kun), though;

- Bartholos calls Phainon a 小僧/kozou (boy), which is quite derogatory when referring to a man. He also calls Kephale a マヌケ/manuke (dumbass) and Oronyx a ガキンチョ/gakincho (brat);

- At the end, Trinnon drops the nicknames the Tribios have for Aglaea and Phainon and calls them by their actual names.

✨BUCKTOMMY ENDGAME✨

[lexumpysfunland]

a silly idea I had 👀

in a more medieval AU this time, imagine Stanley being sent by Aayla (curator) to slay the Dragon that Walter has turned into. of course, Stanley would not find the strength to do so as he understood how wrong it was since the poor Walter didn't actually do anything bad. turning against his own Kingdom since he loves Walter... only a cute little romance weeee

have some Dragon Wally I doodled earlier on my sketchbook

to give some info about Walter being a dragon, he started to be sick after a plague touched their kingdom, he tried to use other means to heal but it turned out to be a rather bad idea as he turned to be a Dragon that the Queen Aayla deemed a danger to the kingdom so she initially managed to banned him before disaster.

On his own, he managed to get a hold of this weird curse he had put on himself, but he had a growing hate toward the kingdom that had rejected him when he needed help... when he had to face Stanley, he too couldn't find the strength to fight him as it was the only one (with Sam (tk)) that was opposed to him being banned... and also because he was already attached to him.

I may doodle more of that if you guys are interested in this AU, so I'm in the middle of preparing Artfight and the road trip for next month I'll probably try to do some doodling in my free time so maybe it'll be about this au, maybe not if you don't want to haha, let me know what you guys think of it ^^

What Being a Zutara Shipper Means for ME!! (not YOU...necessarily)

Where is this idea that Zutara shippers are monolith coming from? I'm soooo bored with people thinking that there's any sort of requirement to shipping this couple. A lot of Zutara shippers ADORE Aang and Mai. I'd go as far as to say most like at least one of them. And that's cool. That's cool...

Hating Aang and Mai is fun, though. They are problematic in different, but oddly similar ways. Picking that apart is a completely valid way to enjoy the fandom. It's not required. No one should have to hate them to enjoy Zutara, but if you do hate them, hate them as loud as you want. They are terrible characters. They have abusive tendencies. Aang, as a character, absolutely perpetuates the Nice Guy myth that as long as you're persistent enough and not a Chan, eventually the girl who's never shown any interest in you will fall for you. Because you're "tH3 r3@L H3r0OOooO!" It doesn't matter that you've violated your crush's consent. Twice. Or that you go on to flirt with anti-miscegenation on a whim and only don't go through with it because it would effect you personally. No biggie!

I know it's a bit harder to hate on Mai. After all, Zuko did have the audacity to talk to her, his girlfriend about his feelings. He was SO out of line for that. How DARE he want support from her? Doesn't he know emotions and human connection are like garlic to emotional vampires like Mai??? Still, hating Mai is fun, so I'll do it anyway. I know it's so quirky, edgy goth of her to threaten him with death if he ever broke up with her again and then go on to not let him know her own father is trying to assassinate him, but I'm not a fan. Sorry 🤷🏾‍♀️

You know what, though? I found my people, as few as we may be. And I did it without telling people how they should or shouldn't feel about any characters. It's a good thing I figured out how tagging and blocking works. 🙃
