#but let's be honest it's not going to be as good as the game

[poolsparks]

I don't care anymore, I'm being cringe on main and posting about my selfship!!! (It's a complete lie, I'm very nervous) So yes, I've been showing a little of my Mouthwashing OC (that may be a S/I, but let's ignore it for now) but something that has been bothering me is that I felt the need to come up with a "good story" for them, as the game is already so well written. It's needless to say that it only made me more nervous to come up with anything at all lmao

And the funniest part is that…. I decided to just use my initial idea instead - one I had before even designing my OC. That being that they're someone that Daisuke isn't sure if is real or not. Like, the other four there surely interact and remember them. But sometimes… they don't and are all confused because they were clearly five people since the start. He has no idea of what is going on.

And if you're curious about how I'll develop this idea… Oh yeah, me too. I may even give up about the whole thing. Who knows. I don't! I only wanted something inspired by my own hallucinations and nightmares. Being totally honest, I just want to kiss Daisuke, that's it 👍🏻

[explaintome]

Dear Mouthwashing fandom, explain to me, why next to the incredible fan art, I find a fuck ton of shipping content, especially between characters where this is highly problematic? SPOILERS FOR MOUTHWASHING AHEAD CN for talk about sexual abuse, death, suicide & violence

DISCLAIMER: I do not shame the general practice of shipping at all. I am a shipper myself and I think it makes up for a lot of interesting dynamics and narratives outside the canon. Shipping is an important pillar of fandom communities and I am unable to forbid you to do it. HOWEVER, in the case of Mouthwashing I want to talk about what, in my opinion, feels tone-deaf to the themes and the canon of the game. But let me start with a short summary of the game before I get into it.

Mouthwashing is basically a visual novel that takes place on the Tulpar, the last manned cargo ship of the company Pony Express. The crew, consisting of Caption Curly, Co-Captain Jimmy, Nurse Anya, Mechanic Swansea and his intern Daisuke, is confronted with a crash against an asteroid and the consequences following it. The story is told out of order to reveal the truth bit by bit. What caused the crash, what happened and how the crew deals with the time afterward being stuck on the ship. Revealing sexual abuse, tragic backstories, the horrible side effects of late state capitalism and the neglect of people in command towards the people they are responsible for.

To boil it down we have two men who, out of societal misogyny, hurt the only woman on their crew by assaulting her or not acting as they should have in their position of responsibility. All of this would not have happened if Jimmy didn't rape Anya and impregnate her, and if Curly had disciplined Jimmy in a capacity possible on the ship and in Jimmy's position as co-pilot. To be honest, with the amount of automatization the ship has, I don't think they need Jimmy if it is not a case of emergency, but I digress. Jimmy is the perpetrator of the story, but Curly is an accomplice in putting his aim of finding a solution and compromise over punishing his subordinate as he should have.

And now to my actual point: I am a big fan of the game, the narration style and the utter tragedy of 5 people losing their lives in the isolation of space, with their company not giving a shit about them. Otherwise, they might have been rescued much earlier or at all. Or had enough cryo pots in the first place. Or a nurse with experience. Or any amount of better equipment and not the most cheap shit that somehow made it through a resemblance of regulations. There are probably no regulations.

Being a fan I, of course, looked into the hashtags on several social media sites, and between the incredible art and analysis of the game, I quickly found shipping content, and I have no idea why. I have literally no idea how that narrative speaks to you in a way of shipping characters romantically/sexually. Especially three shippings really rub me the wrong way.

ANYA/JIMMY

Are you fucking kidding me? Literally, what is wrong with you shipping a victim with their abuser? There was not one interaction between them, that suggest that there was consent or affection, that Jimmy has any sympathy for Anya. He knows what is going on, he knows that Anya is pregnant and takes no responsibility. Even worse, his idea of FIXING this was to kill everyone, at least himself, to avoid responsibility! Same goes for AUs where she kept the baby and is somehow okay and happy? I get the urge to fix it, but that is not a good fix. There is no good fix if you are pregnant due to rape.

ANYA/CURLY

A lot of argument I hear for that is that "at least Curly is her friend and was nice to her" and if that is your whole foundation of argument, I want to ask what your standards for a relationship are. Please know that you deserve more than the bare minimum. Another question in that context: Is Curly really Anya's friend? His friend was abused and instead of protecting her, he tried to reason and help her abuser! That is not the behavior of a friend! There is no "but Jimmy is his friend too!". If your friend is an abuser and that does not make you stop being their friend....why?

JIMMY/CURLY

It feels like it is a law on the internet, that two men who look at least averagely handsome will be shipped, especially if they have the tiniest of connection to each other. I am not even sure if I would call them friends in the first place. It appears that Jimmy, whatever his bad life before that job was (thanks to the developers for not giving us a backstory), he is still absolutely unsatisfied with that he has. He is jealous of Curly and his position, seeing how quickly he takes on the Captain title after the crash and only realizes far too late how hard the position actually is. Curly on the other hand feels a bit like a people pleaser to me. He probably had pity for Jimmy, took him under his wing to help him? Fix him? Whatever it is, it made him ignore Jimmy's bad side to a fatal degree. I respect the toxic yaoi but are you sure?

TLDR; I am worried about how the practice of shipping developed, from a way to extend the canon, explore queerness in cis/straight dominated media, into a compulsion of where some people can't look at any form of media or constellation of characters without immediately smashing them together like dolls. If you do this, maybe step back for a minute and ask yourself if it is appropriate. On that note, same goes in case you defend Jimmy. Why?

Payback

word count: 932 || avg. reading time: 4 mins.

pairing: university AU!Kyoutani x chubby!Reader

genre: fluffy-ish spice, established relationship

warnings: mdni, very suggestive

request: fluffy spice, 2.16 a.m. with boyfriend Kyoutani

It was very late and Kyoutani jumped a little when he heard the soft taps of your elaborate knock routine on his door. To be fair there was little need for secrecy. Mostly because his friend in the adjacent room was still playing games, evident by the occasional cursing he could clearly hear through the wall.

Earlier today on impulse Kyoutani had suggested you should come over to stay with him after finishing up at the library so you wouldn‘t have to go the whole way back to your dorm on the other side of campus. It was all in the name of safety, obviously, and only slightly motivated by the thought of having your warm body next to him in bed.

The previously mentioned friend very intentionally eavesdropped on this conversation and he had not let Kyoutani go before a lot of hollering and an equal amount of suggestive comments. But when the permanently scowling ace, who had driven away any potential roommate with his less than sunny predisposition, didn‘t reply to any of it, his friend had loudly concluded that Kyoutani was probably not a very good lover anyway and so he shouldn‘t assume that anything spicy would happen.

Your boyfriend frowned when he smelled the familiar scent of your shampoo as he opened the door to let you in.

“I thought ya were gonna come straight over.“ He couldn‘t suppress the pout in his voice. If you would have told him he would have walked you back to your dorm.

You smiled and stood on your tiptoes to wrap your arms around his neck when the door closed behind you.

“I know, I‘m sorry. But I had to get my Pyjamas, and a quick shower was too tempting and- are you mad?“

“Tch... no.“

“You sure?“

He was very glad that the darkness of his room masked the blush on his cheeks that usually appeared whenever you got affectionate with him - so, all the time.

His hands came to rest on your waist, giving your generous love handles a gentle squeeze when he finally returned your kisses. To be honest, he was fully intending to just have you tightly wrapped in his arms all night but the softness of your lips, the tantalizing smell of magnolia, and your body pressed against his all gave him a different idea. Still kissing you, he walked backward until he hit the bed. You pulled away and in the faint glow of the lanterns outside in the courtyard, he could see you smile and search his eyes in silent question.

He replied by sitting down at the foot of his bed, pulling you on top of him to straddle his lap. With fanned-out fingers, he held tight onto your pudgy thighs while you cupped his face to continue the kiss. With a quiet sigh, you brushed your tongue along his bottom lip and he readily opened his mouth for you. Once again you broke away but only to take off your shirt and toss it somewhere into a corner. His breathing stop for a moment.

You had to give him credit that he kept his eyes fixed on your face even with your breasts right in front of him, although his hands were a different matter entirely.

He leaned in to kiss you again, pulling you closer with every increasingly desperate noise. Sure enough, his breathing soon became shallower, his movements needier, grabbing you harder than before to get more friction between you. He ran his lips over your neck, letting one hand wander up your back to hold you in place while he dipped lower again, marking every bit of skin on your breasts he could reach.

You pushed him down onto the bed, careful not to lose contact while you made your way up to the headboard, shimmying out of your sweats. You were lying on your side now, enjoying the effect you had on your boyfriend. Your fingertips traced the veins in his arms and you sighed in contentment at the kisses he set on your shoulder and neck.

Considerably out of breath you decided to tease him and turned your back to him. Your delighted giggles told him it was safe to move in close and it wasn’t long before you felt him push against you. Smiling privately, you ground against him, pretending you were just shifting for comfort. But Kyoutani wasn’t having it. His large cold hands grabbed the inside of your thigh and lifted your leg to lay over his own, leaving you very exposed and very aware of what he was planning.

At first, his hand only ghosted over you, testing the waters to see if you would object. When you didn’t, he applied a bit more pressure, circling his thumb with alternating force against you. You didn’t even have time to get impatient. Kyoutani kissed and nibbled at your neck when he pushed your panties aside to pay you back for your teasing. He touched you for what felt like hours, slowing when he felt you were close and adding his second hand to play with your nipples to drive you insane.

No more cursing was coming from the room next door. When Kyoutani finally decided to let you cum, you put a hand over your mouth to muffle the sounds, not wanting to alert the entire floor to what was happening, but he, overcome by lust, defiance and what could only be classified as temporary insanity, pulled your hand away and murmured “Let him hear you.” while he smirked against your skin.

a/n: thank you to the anon who requested this prompt! No worries, you did it perfectly! ^^ I hope you enjoyed it 🌟

LEONA NSFW ABCs

I skipped some letters because I felt like there’s only so much that works for him that isn’t repetitive! 

Warning: Nsfw theme, mention of rut.

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

This is the “lazy” lion we are talking about so let’s be honest after good fucking this man would give you aftercare but the bare minimum like a quick wipe down and some cuddles… After all, that’s all an herbivore like you need right? Now be a good lover and enjoy the comforts of his arm. 

B = Body Part (Their favorite body part of their partner's)

Leona enjoys any part with a good chunk of squishy meat that being his preference ranges from thighs, asses, tummies, and chest. This depends on his partner’s body type but if he had to choose one he always chose the stomach area to nuzzle against and honestly just used it as a pillow with a few sneaky pinches and bites. 

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum, basically)

He doesn’t do anything unique or special with it. He doesn’t even think much about it as he trashes the condom. However, there is one special occasion that he may focus more on and that is when he is in rut. Like any proper male lion, he is trying to impregnate you and with that, a single drop can’t be wasted and has to stay plugged into you until he is satisfied whether it is with a plug of some sort or his cock. 

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He won’t ever openly admit it but the predator and prey stuff gets him going especially if you're going to play along with him and tease him about it. It is the quickest way to get his blood pumping between his legs, but of course, like most games, if you play with anyone at this damned college you're risking some lash back so beware. Catch him at the wrong moment and you’ll be limping and dripping the entire way to your next class… well if you manage to escape him anyway. 

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

This guy is well-experienced with common sense. He may not have a lot of hands-on experience but you hardly have to worry about that fact. He is confident in what he is doing and if he has a question he knows how to google or just ask you. 

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)

He is more serious when in the moment, like he may say something to make you giggle but it wasn’t on purpose so you might get a “look”.

H = Hair (How well-groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

He is a very well-groomed man, he uses expensive overpriced name-brand razors to keep himself well-trimmed and very pristine.

L = Location (Favorite places to do they do)

He prefers to do it in his bedroom over anywhere but he isn’t going to waste time going there if one of his favorite nap spots is available like the bionic garden.

N = No (Something they wouldn’t do, turn-offs)

Want to kill his boner? Degrade him where it hurts, he isn’t really into degradation and if it is the simple things like friendly teasing he won’t mind it but get too into it, he will just stop and tell you to shut the hell up. 

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

He prefers to be given oral satisfaction, he isn't too picky on how you do it either as long as it isn't some roundabout way to tease him. Now when he gives oral expect it to be very lazy, it isn’t like he is bad at it but it isn’t intense or overwhelming... It just gets the job done, plus when he does it, it is more for his pleasure than yours.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Leona isn’t fully into quickies, if he's going to do something that requires energy then he’s going to take his sweet time. He goes at his own pace and wants to make the moment worthwhile. 

T = Toys (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

He won’t go out of his way to get them, but if he sees you have taken an interest then he will buy some and if he is purchasing some then he is going to get a few that interest him to test on you. He isn’t into using them on himself as to him you are all he needs and a hand if he is THAT desperate. 

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

This man SHOULD whimper just to humor us but nope, all you’re getting out of him is a small grunt and growl here and there. 

W = Wild Card (A random headcanon for the character)

The base of his tail is a bit of a spot and he will get a bit more defensive about it once you discover it. To him, it is as sneaky as a quick-ass slap. Fair warning each time you manage to get him off guard he WILL get you back!

Can I request a Raphael x angel MC please 🥺

The Gabriel x Michelle and Lucifer x Michael were so good 😭😭

I'm stuck with you and your scenarios now 😠

You're welcome, dear~! I see my total eclipse of the brain bring some good after all. I hope I will be able to fulfill this request. Rafael is on the verge of being a character I dare write for, but let's try.

It was all your fault, that you make Raphael feel so special, then forget about it, and after all, you died. Lowly, pathetic human being. How dare you? Do you think he will forgive you for this? Tsk. Not only stupid, but naive, too. You are lucky that you chose to be reincarnated in heaven. Maybe there's still a chance for your pitiful soul.

And *maybe* you will repent if stop teasing him and start to suck.

Even though you were below him, licking his piercing and letting him tug at your hair, you knew who was boss. Poor, unaware angel. Blessing? Being the chosen one? Good joke. Only few strokes and his tip was already covered with whitish ooze. You raised an eyebrow and snickered.

“And who is the pathetic one?” 

He grabbed your hair harder. 

“Shut... up. Do your work.”

“Truly pathetic…” Your tongue stroked his trembling manhood. “Swayed so easily.”

“Enough!” 

As you opened your lips once more, he thrusted deep inside your mouth. Smiled vindictively as you chocked. He wanted you to lose your breath, to finally be quiet, and obediently end the act of his ascension. As cruelly, as holy. New madness hitted his insides as you murmured with a trickle of saliva ran down your chin.

“Better…” Those full cheeks, clenched throat and murderous intent in your eyes make you both dirty and perfect. Perfect to be used. Clouded with pleasure, he thought that he found his new favorite toy.

All Raphael stans! Let me redirect you to @livelaughlovesubs and her wonderful fics - here you got first and second part. I assume you've already seen it, if not, check it out~ She can write and catch his personality way better than me

[illiaccrest]

Honestly I've been trying my best to be charitable and not hate Firefly the character (she's fine. I think if she's supposed to be soooo important to us Aventurine's 3+ hour backstory should have gone to her instead but she's fine), but the whole TBxFirefly romantic subplot shlock contained pretty much every clumsy trope that I despise in a romantic subplot so I didn't think it was cute, I hated it.

On top of that there's the ongoing trend of games letting you choose your player character's gender but not the gender of your love interest, which is basically the developers saying loud and clear "WE ONLY CARE ABOUT STRAIGHT MALE GAMERS" and I'm tired of every single game doing this. Honestly if it continues and we don't have the choice to either reject FF or choose someone else it'll just be too cringe and I'll probably drop the game.

[simcardiac-arrested]

no actually I’d like to hear your thoughts on the isat ending

Like i said it felt really tropey and by that i meant that it’s just Everything Good Happens forever and…..that’s it ? like idk we were building up to this huge catharsis sort of thing and then we got to it and it was so sudden and not a good payoff and just kind of nothingburger of an ending . the fact that everyone just forgives siffrin bothers me, or at least the fact that they don’t confront them about the shit they’ve said and done. call me a mental illness villainizer but i think if you’re a fucking asshole and doing the most insensitive things to the people you care about then hey, i think those ppl have a right to fucking tell you off for it. likeeee idk being at your lowest point …… not an excuse …. not feeling it chief ……. like sure the message is to move past your mistakes or whatever but ? that doesn’t mean just getting away with it ??? and i just really don’t understand Why everyone forgives him. honestly at the end of the day the ending is just one problem, the root of which are the characters. everyone feels like trope cardboard cutouts. oh, this is the smart one. this is the smol bean. this is the himbo. and they all care for each other btw. Did u hear that? they all care for each other. we’re not really going to explain to you why these people are so close or what they went through together but just trust me man they’re sooo found famy. like …. okay. i’ve played 30 hours of this game and not once did i buy that any of the characters really cared about each other. like??? why???? You’re telling me everyone super cares about siffrin even though they barely know them?? you’re telling me siffrin cares about everyone sooo much even though he never even bothered to find out their problems before ? Wat ? and this just breaks the ending more because literally whyyy do these people care about him so bad. and then it’s just whyyy does siffrin Have to tell them anything he doesn’t even seem to know them that well. everyone feels like colleagues and Just Friends at best. and so the ending just seems really forced. like it was written by that type of tumblr user who’s always talking about aww why does the found family have to break up after the end of the journey :( which is like fiiiiine. i guess. but u guys know that u have to build up to it right?? you can’t just tell me they’re Family Members(tm) 102829 times and that they super care about each other source: trust. you can’t just do that and then expect me to believe it ….. It feels unearned. the ending feels unearned and i don’ttttt understand what i’m supposed to take away from it . that it’s ok to fuck people up because you’re traumatized and insecure?? that you have to talk about your deepest problems with people you barely know??? i just dont know. Like i said if im being honest the problems with this game’s writing are more than just the ending, it just stands out so much because there’s a lot of build up and then just …… That

My participation in an Ink Demonth would not be complete without at least 1 drawing that takes a few days to complete.

I've had this idea in my head for a while, so this prompt was a good opportunity to put it into action. Featuring Riley Wells and Alan Gray.

I don't remember if I've ever drawn a rainy scene before. This was a first attempt. I liked it, actually. I think it worked for what I wanted in the end. (Thanks old tutorial from 2004) (The raindrops running down the umbrellas I had to learn by myself. Probably not the best thing possible, but better than nothing).

I'm happy with the overall atmosphere of the drawing and how it turned out. I think I managed to encapsulate the original vision I had in my head. I kind of messed it up during the process but I managed to turn it around and get it how I really wanted it.

When it comes to Riley and her joining Gent: all things considered, it would make more sense that she ended up at Gent in a similar way to what Archie Carter talked about in his audio log. She probably found a newspaper about Gent looking for test subjects and decided to go with it. She may have met Alan for the first time when she started working there, no doubt. Rather than meeting him before she joined the company in a "he was the one who offered her the job" situation, as I showed above.

I only went with this second scenario just because I found it more interesting to draw. And I wanted to touch on the possibility of Alan offering the chance to work as a test subject directly for certain people (without saying too much about the darker details of the job, of course). It's kind of evil, but at the same time, so is Gent (shockingly/j), so it's all good. (Realizing now that I may be making shit up for a character that has yet to be characterized. If this isn't the Bendy experience I don't know what is) Also, poor girl, she was fired from a shitty company and went to get a job at another shitty company. How sad.

Also, as an addendum, I don't know if their heights are 100% accurate. My vision for my Alan design is that he's a tall guy. Taller than Joey and, for that matter, Riley. When I was drawing him I realized he wasn't that tall and I had to resize him in the end. And Riley I never thought about how tall she is. Maybe her height here is a little off-model. So, don't take this drawing as my definitive vision of how tall they are. Because I don't even know for sure lol.

Next drawing is simpler so it probably won't take too long. I hope.

[doodlinstuff]

Figured I should share some of my inktober stuff, cuz sharing is what it's all about. Made with multimedia paper, a pencil and eraser, and ballpoint pens... So many ballpoint pens... Anyways, enjoy the little apple demon.

[sonknuxadow]

i dont know what would be worse if amy is never in the sonic movies at all or if they do introduce her in the next one but shes pushed to the side and doesnt get the amount of focus she should be getting considering shes a main character and this is her introductory movie because theres too much other stuff going on with shadow and/or they just completely butcher her character

"Anakin/Obi Wan/Yoda/Padmé/Shmi is the most tragic character in Star Wars" you are WRONG actually. L3-37 HOWEVER.....

[soulsxng]

"Oh, great. Well, at least if I have to deal with one of you guys, it's just to beat you around for a while...I'll think of it as stress relief."

"Hah. You speak as though I would make it easy for you to do so, Pythius...you should be careful, or that ego of yours will be what decides your loss."

Pythius: The Demon Prince of Liars and Dishonesty. Considered to be one of the most dangerous of the princes to cross, due to his utterly ruthless and precise fighting style. In his normal form, he's agile, and moves tend to look just as beautiful as they are deadly. Dual short swords are used more like an extension of his own arm, as-- even if his movement speed is average-- he would be the type of ridiculous boss character that weaves a 12 hit combo on the regular, so you have to dodge around like an idiot for a full minute before getting two seconds to strike back. Definitely "battle of attrition" vibes going on there, despite not really taking damage well in this form.

Generally he tries not to shift when he's fighting unless it's serious, but when he does, he transforms into what is pretty much a giant croco-dragon. Switches up the darkness based magics he'll use in his normal form, to snipe at his opponent with water when they're too far away for him to hit. Loses the grace of his normal fighting style if he's outside the water like this, but makes up for it in the sheer power boost he gains from it, as well as the boost in defenses he gets from the armor-like plates that cover his body. In the water? His opponent is pretty much as good as dead, at that point.

Sarakael: Also very much a "battle of attrition" type of vibe to him. He's one of the most skilled in battle out of his siblings, and because of his offensive prowess, a lot of fights against him don't last long. Like...Py has 12 hit combos, yeah? Sara fights with a lance, but pulls off moves similar to this type of bs. Can take a hit just as well as he can dish them out, but if he's knocked down, it takes him a bit to recover fully, which gives his opponent an opening to exploit.

He uses divine light to make larger copies of his lance, and rain them down over his opponent across a wide area. Will use a burst type attack with the same type of magic if his opponent is close, and starting to overwhelm him. This usually gives enough force to not only protect him from blows coming at him at the time of the burst, but will knock his opponent back a good few yards...and good luck if it knocks them into the air, because that's exactly when he'll whip out one of those ridiculous combo moves to finish the fight fast.

[dontmindme2600]

Listening to any of those YouTube video game songs at my age makes me physically cringe (no offense to anyone who does) but that rap Dan Bull made for Fallout 4 before it released absolutely FUCKS and has genuinely the most creative lyrics I’ve seen from any of those types of channels. Like the alliteration??? Holy shit. Like I’ll still be embarrassed but I can’t help listening to it, it literally sounds canon, dare I say better than something that would come out of Bethesda
