Because a monster has never been anything more than a human in a mask. Because a monster breathes, and their heart beats and their brain thinks, and it is the choice, the decision to harm others that makes them a monster. More often than not monsters are people who grew up hurt and terrified and never had the space to process it so they never stopped being scared.
And when you try to stop being a monster you have to acknowledge that you were a monster. That you have been a monster. And what does that mean for you? You, what, just get to get better, now? And what about your victims? They just have to get better too?
And if you want to stop a monster, you have to attack a person, who is terrified and has given up on themselves and is hurting others because of it, but a person none the less.
You don't get to pretend they're just a monster because they hurt someone. I'm not even saying you can't kill them, you just have to mourn them too. You have to recognise this is no dragon, no dark lord, no creature of myth, this is a person who was hurt for so long that they internalised that hurt as correct.
Every movie with a sentient villain is a zombie movie, in a sense. And people walk around as if evil exists. As if the devil has ever been more than the face in the mirror. You don't get to pretend you're better than the monsters because you are blind to their humanity.
The monster is man. It always has been.
And the argument that I see with my stance Is that, I argue that all ‘evil’ stems from a person being actively harmed at some point to a degree where they internalised it, so what was the first thing? What was the first god awful Domino in this chain of anguish?
I think it was nature. People being eaten. People starving. People freezing and drowning and dying everywhere. I think the devil's name is generational trauma, and I think his song is the little fear in your head. The things you think but won't look at for fear that their answer would be too damning.
Everytime you feel that tingle of dread and brush it aside without inspection, that's the devil whispering your name. Because the devil is all of us, on a day worse than today.
(How else would he be in both your mirror and mine?)
#vent#philosophy#the way people understand good and evil makes me fucking insane#there is something so deeply upsetting about online discourse about fucking nonsense that everyone treats as legitimate#the notion that punishing anyone for anything would ever fucking stop them if you didn't kill them is absurd#none of this stupid middle shit#stop dicking around#kill or reform#whats it gonna be#because just punishing them only makes them sneakier and angrier#this goes for absolutely all bad things#without exception#also? fuck all that Christian holier than thou shit. you wanna help? make a real fucking stance on something and fight for it#i dont even care if its for or against the shit i stand for#just make a goddamned CHOICE#none of this 'praying for you' shit.#if you think someones in danger#pick up a weapon or admit you arent actually that invested#snd yes donating can help yoo in certain situations but also separately the way people talk about areas in bad situations riles me to hell#but thats a whole separate rant

Why the fuck are there roller skates, dubstep, stage lighting, an LED screen, and all kinds of modern technology in Xilonen's trailer??? I thought Fontaine had the most advanced technology next to Schneznaya and arguably Sumeru, and every instance of high-end technology we have seen leaned more towards machinations with gears, magic, alchemy, essentially fantasy styled sci-fi???
The disrespect towards Native American and African cultures is enough to piss me off already, but it even goes against Genshin's own consistency with its fantastical world design..and for what? Just so you can have this...pop and gamer aesthetic???
Just look at these two bubbly and optimistic characters for me okay


Yoimiya's design isn't the most respectful and accurate representation of a Japanese firework craftsman, but at least you can damn tell she is Japanese. The large ribbons, hair accessories, tassels, leg covering, tattoo design, shoe style, and fabric patterns all allude to this (I apologize for not knowing the exact terminologies for these, this needs further research).
Then there's Mualani who has...what? Please do correct me if I am wrong here, but her character must be inspired by the real Mualani, a Hawaiian Chiefess. Additionally, her tribe's specialty is in tourism and vacationing, which further leads into the idea that she and her tribe are based off of Hawaii despite the known issues regarding Hawaii and tourism (if there are any good sources that summarize the issue, please do lmk).
I am not too familiar with Hawaiian culture, but there really is nothing about her design that reads as Hawaiian, or even just traditional, to me. What about a 2 piece swimsuit with bows and tails, a bow + braids + ponytail hair style, combat gloves (?), and an entire neon shark, is Hawaiian???
The characters, their designs, and their trailers, are just so culturally disconnected from their real life counterpart that it's even disconnected to Genshin's own world building and design. How the fuck is the fashion trend in Natlan denim pants. I feel like the only parts of Natlan that feel like Genshin Impact and culturally inspired are the in-game music and landscapes (God bless Hoyo-mix and the world designers).
#xilonens music in particular pisses me off.#she could possibly break my entire theory that dubstep in music is meant to represent otherworldly power#actually- the fact that the some of Natlan is like this bugs me#it could either be a legit disrespect to their culture by just not having the traditional music as it is#Or it could be the best use of musical foreshadowing this game has ever seen. which would be fucking bonkers and awesome#I have a separate post abt the use of music- particularly orchestra and dubstep#xilonen's visuals n music for her demo is just. wtf man idc if it sounds good it doesnt sound culturally and worldbuilding grounded at all#anyways thats my fucking rant for today#i am so goddamn pissed that they just wont fucking respect these cultures to the point it ruins their own quality#its really damn stupid#fontaine was genshins best designs...then they dropped this next#absolutely fell off#even with the whole technology thing- fontaine with their research and gears and all its so cool#then natlan has vtuber avatars- turntables- led screens- you get the point.#fucking ridiculous#evelynpr genshin#genshin#genshin impact#Im sorry I finally make a genshin post again#and it is this negative...im really sorry#genshin critical#natlan#xilonen#mualani#yoimiya

The fun thing about making pokemon aus is that the manga is just free real estate for me. I go on my little manga site and skim through the pages digging through pannels to make silly little edits
#i hope people know that when i make some au refs they are drawn over the offical art to make things easier. i always forget to say it#when i post#cause i think the refs are recognisable enough reguardless of how much I change them#also i would never edit or trace over fan art thats evil#i only ever edit or trace/draw over offical artwork because nintendo isnt losing money cause i made trevors fingernails pretty#or turned them all into marine animals#like screenshots ref and manga edits are clearly from offical media#im not claiming the original art or anything either so much as im claiming the changes too it or the work i put into it#like the splatoon references are all on separate layers and were hand redrawn with the offical refs as a base#same with like the revival au ref or the manga edits where i redraw the lineart so i can freely color#i do put the same ammount of effort into them as i do my real art#i just hope no one thinks “oh god kodi is tracing” 😒#oh damn i went on a whole rant in the tags! sorry i just real nervous about stuff#im making more manga edits btw with what little energy i got after work#3 day weekend will be dedicated to art i owe some friends

I've reached a point in my OC making activities that the majority of my OCs are really just Alec and Ray but a lil to the left and I don't know what to do with that cursed information.
#aria rants#cursed or cursed whatever pronunciation it is. its cursed either way#god pls i dont caer bout those two thaaat much *pushes my other ocs to the side that is the most like them*#istg why. why are those two always following me wherever i go (they live in my head)#it isnt that theyre stuck with me. IM stuck with THEM#i was like bored the whole day so i decided to read some manwhas again and develop my new set of ocs#while also just repeatedly telling myself: you all will be fine. it looks like youre just alec and ray reskinned but... BUT#i trust that i can be unhinged enough to completely separate yall from those two fuckers (lovingly but begrudgingly)#and you all can finally be free from a hell of my own making#i say that as i also turn around and look at wtv traits alec and ray has thats subtle enough for me to add to em goddammit#my oc creation process is just me hoping that the stars align well enough for me to think of such an insane scenario#where i can finally dropkick my new ocs at. and they can be their own person separate from a CERTAIN PAIR#that plagues my every waking hour

I need people to remember that Nya was also in love with Jay since day 1, its just that it wasn’t her biggest priority seeing as she was going through a whole thing called insecurities and finding who she is outside of her brother and outside of her parents and outside of her village and outside of Jay.
Nya loves Jay the same amount, she has loved Jay just as long as Jay had, but her love for Jay wasn’t something she was willing to pursue when absolutely everyone would dumb her down to just that. The same way everyone was already dumbing her down to Kai’s sister the second they all met, and the same way they were already dumbing her down to just the love interest between Jay and Cole even after finding her identity and place as Samurai X. Imagine how much it hit her when Samurai X, and image she crafted so carefully with so much love and attention and pride, was suddenly belittled and mocked because apparently he was actually a she.
And you can’t forget the fact that she was suddenly forced to grapple with another new identity as the water ninja, and then had to deal with all the hate and mockery and belittling everyone was doing as she wasn’t just the water ninja, but the girl ninja. Its not easy to hear the comments people from a whole city make of you because of your gender. Even people from your own gender, and it must’ve been even worse because no one else understood, they knew it was a problem but they still believed her reactions were too over the top. The stress of all of that and then also having someone she loved but wasn’t ready to love with try force another path onto her was bound to stress her out.
Jay wasn’t necessarily an ass during that season, from what i can remember. He was a whole mess yeah, his insecurities making him take actions he wouldn’t have before and try forcing his wants and desires onto someone else who wasn’t ready for it. But he grew and learnt and stopped all that as the season progressed. He had to understand that the people around him won’t just leave or downgrade him, and that he must ease his own anxiety and understand that whatever happens will happen for the good of them all. That doesn’t change the fact that his actions in the beginning was a shi show though, so no wonder Nya pushed him away during that time. Reminder that you can still be angry and annoyed at someone you love, especially when they deserve it.
Not to mention she has never been all that vocal with her affection. Not like Jay. You know she cares and loves you simply through the way she trusts people but shes also been a lot more locked up over her emotions, and thats okay. Because Jay knows (haha, knew.) that Nya loves him just as much because if she didn’t she would very obviously state that. She may not be vocal over her emotions or her love for someone, but she is over her opinions. She won’t just let someone use her or mess with her because she feels bad or that she has too.
Right now, for Nya and Jay’s character, I’d rather focus on the identity crisis that JAY is going through now instead of Nya, and of how NYA is the one chasing and wanting to bring Jay into her life despite him not wanting (not being ready?) to do so. I’d rather focus on her development as a character and now as a teacher. And how Nya is going to change and grow like how Jay changed and grew in Skybound for her. Honestly I would love a lot more focus of developing Nya’s character as an adult who is horrible at being vulnerable and how she will grow, with the whole ‘Nya and Jay!’ Thing just a tad bit more in the background and used as more of a kick up for it. And for us to watch what may happen to Jay as he changes in a new environment with new memories and experiences.
For once, i want to watch them grow separately rather than watch them grow for each other. I know Nya can do that, but it’s only with Jay having lost his memories that he’s now capable of doing that for himself and only himself.
Sorry this was huge throw up of a rant so honestly just believe that this is five random points shoved into one post and rambled in a horrible way
Edit: reminder that Nya didn’t just disregard her feelings for Jay just so she wouldn’t be placed as simply his girlfriend, but also because she had many other worries. Completing missions and making sure everyone lived, being the biggest brain and planner in the team for ages, as well understanding her self outside of her town that she lived in for ages. Kai was able to fond himself easily amongst the other ninja, but Nya didn’t have that. So obviously she, as a 13-16 year old young teenage girl, would rather focus on finding new hobbies and having new experiences than pursuing a love life she wouldn’t even be confident in pursuing in. Jay and Nya are not each other only priority or worry, their love for each other is important to them and who they are, but isn’t the most defining factor or shouldn’t be the most focused.
#lego ninjago#ninjago#ninjago nya#ninjago jay#nya ninjago#jay ninjago#sorry this is actually so baf#like damm#i under stand that their relationship is very important to the both#but it shouldn’t be used so often as the realsn their characters develop#jay walker#nya smith#nya jiang#jaya#dragons rising

CURTAIN CALL ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ MBAV BOYS



summary: rory, ethan and benny dating a theatre kid (separate).
authors note: auggghhh save me benny and rory.. save me… and ethans there too i guess. idgaf about ethan i like him in a way where he’s silly and i wanna like show him fnaf lore
word count: 0.9k || masterlist
⋆。° ✮ 𓁿 ETHAN MORGAN
ethan is horrifically inexperienced when it comes to theatre. the closest he’s ever gotten was when sarah and erica were in that play, and it didn’t really go the best for obvious reasons. he’s mostly just decided theatre isn’t his thing. he loves it for you though! if you really want him too (you can just ask. he’ll do it simply because you asked him) he’ll help you run lines or practice songs. if you need help with your pitch, he’ll sit by a keyboard or something and press the notes for you. don’t ask him to tell you if you’re off-key though, he can’t really tell the difference.
ethan doesn’t know what to do the first time you have a show coming up. naturally he asks benny, who tells him to get you some flowers and tell you how great you were when he sees you afterwards. he does exactly that, except very awkwardly because that’s kinda just how he is. he will hug you the literal second he sees you though and will tell you how great you were while he does. but genuinely he thinks you’re the best actor he’s ever seen.
ethan gets a lot better and more used to it over time. soon enough he’s actually seen tons of musicals cause of you and slowly he actually starts to kind of like them. he likes them in a way where they remind him of you, but also because sometimes the musical will have a kind of interesting plot, but he mostly just likes them cause they remind him of you.
ethan would probably end up joining the drama club/program (or whatever it is), but not as an actor. he’d do it to be a tech kid. he’d probably wanna do lights cause it’s easier for him and he can make sure there’s always a spotlight on you. there may be malfunctions during lighting if you mention to him that you don’t like someone in the show, but the lights are perfect again when it’s your turn. he kinda likes having theatre in common with you <3
⋆。° ✮ ݁ᛪ༙ RORY KEANER
rory would probably find it cool if you were a theatre kid. he’s seen a few musicals, and even though they didn’t keep his attention for very long, he’s very easily entertained so he still definitely enjoyed it. however, he would be at all of your shows without a single thought of leaving. he’s front row watching like if he looks away some horrific creatures gonna get him.
rory is by your side the literal second the show is over. he brings flowers every single time (they may or may not have been hand picked right before he got there) and he holds your face between his hands and kisses you right before following it with spreading kisses all over your face and telling you how good you were in between it all. he’d also pick you up and spin you around (he does not care that you’re sweaty) but in a really fast and almost nauseating way. his arms are really tight around your waist while he does it because he doesn’t realize how strong he really is and you’re basically like three feet in the air because once again, he forgets how strong being a vampire makes him. god forbid he starts floating.
rory is your biggest fan. if he sees someone even lingering by the drama club he’s all “my partners in that!!” and then goes on some super long rant about how you’re the greatest actor ever and how literally no one ever could outshine you. he loooooooves you <3
rory is the type of boyfriend to yell “THATS MY PARTNER!!” while ur onstage and it irritates everyone else so much but he’s oblivious to it. he might end up getting kicked out for doing it every once in awhile but he waits outside for you and does his whole “you were so good i love you i’m gonna kiss the hell out of you” routine
⋆。° ✮ ❀ BENNY WEIR
benny is probably a (not so) secret theatre kid. if you dare to ask him to do your pitch/vocal warmups with you he’s all “little bit higher” or “you’re kinda flat”. he even tries to match the pitch to help you but he can’t sing so it’s really bad and funny. he probably makes fun of you a little but it’s entirely jokingly. he would actually be really great for practicing lines and pitch because he’ll actually be able to tell you when you’re off and is completely honest.
benny is probably also a tech kid with ethan, except he basically only joined so he could be around you more. in reality he does not care about the set or the lights, he just wants to be with you. he is surprisingly really good at being a tech kid though, like it had never been better before he was working on the show.
benny is the type of boyfriend to conjure up flowers in your favourite colour and some random gift pertaining to whatever you’re currently interested in (it was also conjured on the spot). he probably tries to lift you up like rory but he is not that strong so he probably pulls a muscle or something and then acts like nothing happened. he’d kiss you though! very sweetly and softly cause he loves you and he thinks you did literally amazing.
benny would work so insanely hard to make sure your costume and makeup stay perfect throughout the entire show. he’d probably bring like an iron so he can make sure there’s no wrinkles and he’d insist on doing your makeup himself because he thinks if anyone else does it they’ll mess it up somehow, except he accidentally gets mascara in your eye somehow and feels awful for the rest of the day. because he’s on tech he’d also stop you in between scenes and fix your hair and basically everything you go back on.

can you rant abt hiveswap and how it changes the per-established alternian lore and not in a good way. i hold no stake in this topic but i love to hear about worldbuilding differences and people complaining
oh my god i would loveeee too. well first of all the obvious stuff with how they seem to think the beta trolls were the stereotypes for their caste (NOT TRUE... very very untrue but ESPECIALLY untrue with like. jadebloods goldbloods and purplebloods who seem to get this the worst somehow)
i hateeee how they made jades preppy THATS KANAYAS THING.. AND SHES EXPLICITLY *WEIRD* FOR THAT. they literally mention it like over 20 times how kanaya is sooooo weird for liking fashion and dressing well and then. oh no i guess every jade does that actually whoops sorry! ToT and god do i even need to go into the terrible prevalence of the idea that "jadebloods are typically/instinctively nurturing" when that is textually not the case?
goldbloods all having double horns is not that big of a deal tbh but its really funny to me that they made that assumption when sollux is like. actively called a mutant for most of the comic. "oh yeah hes mutated and weird and fucked up and some of his body parts are doubled (cue dick jokes here)". like that was a thing for sollux but they just decided to say "well actually. thats just how all goldbloods are"
most purplebloods having a "clowny aesthetic" is fine with me honestly since theres an actual Profession of being a subjuggalator and presumably lots of purples are going to be wanting to go into that? but alllll of them being full on juggalo cultists goes directly against canon. its like. the difference between american lawmaking and christianity. yes the separation of church and state is like nonexistent here. but just because american lawmaking is an enterprise controlled by christianity doesnt mean that All Politicians/Cops are automatically christian. and definitely not the same kind of christian?? there are probably agnostic clowns, or clowns who are only into cultism for the aesthetic. even reformist vs. orthodox clowns. they may all be upholding the same systemic white christian status quo, but they doesn't mean they all fit into that niche themselves. if that makes sense?
and of course i've already made a whole post about how i hate the idea that olivebloods are all feral little rogues, since that makes very little sense in canon.
i would really love to do that full stream of the hiveswap and friendsim games just. going through all of their alternian stuff and explaining my thoughts on it and how it relates to canon... i could go on and on about this stuff for ages and get into way more than just caste stereotypes. i think i would need to reread all of homestuck first to make sure i wasnt just pulling shit out of my ass and was truly studied up though, lmao

i feel like this is a controversial take, but i dont like that cleo is part of the pogues. rant :
dont get me wrong, cleo is one of my fav characters from the show. cleo and pope is my fav (only fav) ship from the show. but i hate how cleo's character outline feels like its been reduced to 'oh shes pope's gf'
they made her a main part of the show only halfway thru and almost instantly she and pope are on the way to become bf and gf. and see i love strangers to lovers as much as the next guy but really, who is cleo?
she doesnt get her own season, she doesnt have her own separate storyline, the focus is never on her the way it is on the rest of the pogues. how did she adjust to the kook vs pogue dynamic? how did she react to being stranded on a deserted island with people who, are strangers to her, other than just 'ah fuck it we ball' and being brave about it? BRO WHATS HER LAST NAME???
all we know about her past is how terrance is a father figure to her and the only time she shows any emotion other than 'ill cut you', is when he dies, and when shes with pope. atleast thats my opinion. we never see her when shes just her.
in s3 she calls the pogues out and shes the reason they even go to the dock to find kiara, where was that dynamic for the rest of the show? who is cleo as her own person and what does she repeatedly add to the group?
who is cleo? if you asked me that rn, i would say oh shes a pogue, shes pope's gf, but i personally, would not be able to describe her the way id be able to describe kiara or sarah.
i will always shit on the obx writers for how they fucked the female characters but the way they did cleo dirty will always hurt me on a different level. there is just so much wasted potential. when i was watching the show, cleo was introduced as a main part when the cross thing was still happening, and the cross was such a big part of pope's storyline, which was focused on his race right? go back to s1, the way rafe absolutely wrecked pope's face on the golf course seemed to be more of a hate crime, the way he burnt the cross, destroying pope's ancestry is another symbolic event in my eyes. keep in mind this post isnt me saying rafe is racist, this is about a black woman, dont let a white man steal the spotlight.
my point is, i expected there to be something that ties her in with the whole plot, i expected to watch her adjust to how the kooks vs pogues separation was set and how much harder it wouldve been on a woman of color. think back to how rafe calls kie half a pogue and half a kook. kie is as far as i know a mixed woman right? how is a mixed woman the only time we've seen a kook poc? think about it.
i deal with racism and colorism on a daily basis. and personally, i would've been FUCKED outta my mind if i had to deal with the rich vs poor thing too. and i was waiting so hard to watch cleo having to deal with all this because lets be honest, its a reality. where was all this? they half assed a character who had so much potential to add to the show and ill forever be pissed about it.
if they werent going to give her character the plotline she deserved, they never shouldve added her at all.

The whole "are jews white" thing drives me crazy bc whiteness is not an innate state of being it is a position of power in relation to other people and therefore it is more complicated than "russian ashkie = white and sephardi = brown" but everyone wants to make race into a biological fact so we're stuck unable to acknowledge that in the same way that jews are seen as both capitalists and communists for the purposes of antisemitism, we can also be seen as both white and poc for the purposes of antisemitism AND some jews do access, use, weaponise white privilege. it's not hard
As a side note I happen to think using a "white israeli vs brown palestinian" is functionally inaccurate. while zionism obviously emerges from european nationalism and therefore includes those strains of racism, it is a nationalism aka it is about jews and not white people. ANYWAY.
right right!!! like. u cant rly "separate" jewish ppl into a white/nonwhite binary in terms of oppression bc a. whiteness is a construct, n often applies differently in different situation n b. this may break some of u all's brains but white sephardim also suffer race based discrimination. white ashkenazim n white sephardim have different experiences w race, judaism n antisemitism. there r different ppl from the same city even w wildly different relationships to ethnic identity n race. there r 5 separate synagogues in the venetian ghetto belonging to 5 different ethnic groups. theyre all italian. theyre all venetian even.
ashkenazi/sephardic/mizrahi trinary doesnt work either - many ppl r mixed, white western ashkenazim, asian ashkenazim n ashkenazim of color have different experiences w race, judaism, antisemitism, identity, culture, etc. n so do european sephardim n noneuropean sephardim (even different european sephardim between themselves, ntm how different noneuro sephardic identities r from each other), many ppl identify as both sephardic n mizrahi, etc.
n to the last point at the end of the day its still trying to erase the diversity of palestinians. like while theyre all equally palestinians n their identity is, for the lack of a better word, valid, n palestinian is also obv a cultural identity, there r plenty different ethnic, religious n racial groups within the palestinian identity. i think it connects to how many ppl, esp westerners n esp americans, refuse to analyze any global situation, usually indigenous struggles, outside their specific dichotomy of xyz oppressor n xyz oppressed. they cant fathom that brown n black israelis can b relatively privileged based on their ethnicity, so they decide to just ignore their existence alltogether. like how they refuse to comprehend that americans of color can also b privileged - both globally n as settlers on stolen land, but instead of saying that any and all criticisms of american r racist n targeting poc n usamerican is a racist dogwhistle, they go the in opposite direction n treat all israelis as white, n israel as a white country (dont tell them abt the demographic statistics in both countries). thats also why ppl refuse to b normal abt russian or ottoman imperialism - they cant rly neatly fit it into their idea of what racially/ethnic based oppression looks like.
"are jews white" are christians white? sorry for the long answer/rant, but at the end of the day, this remains unbeated

pissed abt the new discord mobile update so heres my rant.
the new hud is ugly, laggy and impractical. the lil servers button will ALWAYS have a blue light unless you read every server message which is dumb. they should have an option to turn that off or revert it back to the old HUD (like how reddit has its current site and its "old site HUD" verision), it feels laggy to swap between servers and messages and its slow, making it hard to balance having two conversations at once. you cant even see which people are online in servers by swiping to the side anymore and have to press the search button (which takes a moment to even load, adding more to the lag factor), not to mention, messages look weird now since you ALSO cant side swipe to see whos online/status messages, you must press the search tab and then itll lag to load and show up like how instagrams messaging system does, with it separating the media sent, link and some other stuff. overly complex and unneeded.
not to mention, the new "midnight" color background doesnt even look midnight, you'd expect it to be pitch black on all parts but instead they made it blueish, which is dumb and knowing current discord, they'd put pitch black behind the discord nitro color themed backgrounds (which is also stupid but thats a whole other can of worms.)
overall the new interface is annoying, laggy, UGLY, and hard to traverse, the seperation of areas was unneeded, made worse by the fact that discord themself have said that a setting to make it go back to normal wont be made and if anyone doesnt like it, to delete their accounts. (most likely not caring due to the fact that they have no competition in purely texting apps), it is also full of glitches such as: people being able to send messages but it STILL being in the text box, being so laggy its unuseable and from what ive seen, nobody online is happy as it completely removes all user-friendly access to things and makes it generally hard to use.

Hii! Could I request the marvel ladies reaction to reader referring to them as her girlfriend for the first time <33
now i see daylight

this is so adorable! and ofc coming rightt up(ultra delayed post)
warning!- some suggestive bits(nothing specifically said)
Carol Danvers
once awhile, u and the girls go to a fancy jazz club. usually it's an excuse for you guys to dress up and get wine drunk and wake up feeling refreshed, albeit a lil hungover. this time, you and your lovely gf Carol go as a together. you wore a stunning navy blue dress and she wore a casual navy suit. Carol was drooling over you and she couldn't stop staring at you but you were also obsessing over ur sexy buff ass gf. you walk in hand in hand and go around the party talking to ur friends. you and carol separate for js a moment. when ur friends head home u sit there sipping ur drink alone and a man comes to sit next to you and start bugging you. "hey beautiful, you here alone?" "no im actually with someone" you answer sternly. thanks to Carols quick reflexes, you don't have to suffer long. she puts a firm hand on ur back and kisses the top of ur head. but thanks to the drinks he doesnt take the hint. "why don't u take me home dove; i'll show you want i can do." you and carol giggle. as she's about to say smt, you interupt. "actually" leaning into Carol, putting ur hand on her stomach as her hand goes over ur shoulder. "i'm gonna be taking my beautiful girlfriend home so you can go now." Gosh you've never looked sexier to carol. she honestly js starts fawning over you and lets out a THATS MY GIRL and hugs you super tight bc her heart js melted. you're so proud about being with her and she cannot contain the blush that's on her cheek. you two walk out (ur lipstick all over Carols face and neck) she's so giddy about the events that happened and cannot stop kissing u all over. it's like ur first date all over again and honestly, she can't wait to call u her wife!!
Darcy Lewis
Darcy is the smartest girl you know. and naturally as an Avenger you introduce her to Tony and safe to say he's very impressed with her and pats you on the back for finding such a brilliant girl. everyone likes Darcy too!! she makes you happy, she's hot, she's loyal, and mf is a Dr and an astrophysicist!! you always flaunt that. well when a big company asks the avengers to come work with them bc some sort of anomaly (think wandavision but no one's dead bc i said so) has accured and they need some brains and brawns. while tony and bruce alone were smarter than all of the companies scientists; they bit off more than they could chew. after a few weeks of all the scientists working at it, they only advance a bit. you go home and darcy comes over and you rant to her about it bc ur fed up. and suggest the idea of bringing her to help and she considers it. she spends the night so she might as well tag along and see what she can do. at first the companies big boss disregards her and even tries to push her away from the monitors. you grab his wrist "don't you touch her. and just so yk my girlfriend is smarter than all ur stupid scientists so i suggest you let her take a look so she can fix wtv ur men can't" Darcy is actually frozen to her spot bc that was so hot. the heat from her cheeks spread all the way down and she's at a loss for words. her face turns bright red and she nudges you too stop cutting the guys circulation off (she's well aware you'll break this guys arm for her). she thanks you and kisses ur cheek as she sits down. give her a few hours and BOOM. she's gotten to the bottom of the problem and has two possible ways to fix it, they both end up working. Darcy bugs about how much you brag about her. you give her a whole speech on why she's the greatest women ever as you hold her. she loves you with her whole heart and has never felt safer in her big bad avengers gfs arms.
Maria Hill
Even though Maria is always incredibly busy with Shield, and you with the avengers, you always find time to be together. but being women of high power has never been easy. that being said, both of you get looked down on even after showing ur skill time and time again. so you arrive at headquarters looking for your bad ass gf, carrying with you a few treats so she doesn't forget to eat. as you make ur way towards everyone they seem to be doing their usual thing. you could spot her from a mile away away. she's the most beautiful women you've ever laid eyes on. you approach her. her eyes land on you and her face immediately lights up. she greats you with a tight hug, a kiss on the head and then the lips. she's gotten more comfortable with being affectionate at work, you notice. "thank you baby" she says sweetly, completely contrasting to the harsh tone she uses with her troops. "i'll be back in a second" she goes to tell her most trusted troop to take charge as she steps out for a second. almost as if she cannot live in peace, a scrawny, insecure guy comes out of nowhere and starts complaining about Maria being off duty (who even is he) he starts causes a scene and honestly makes you laugh a bit. you two go to walk off to ignore him and suddenly the hoe grabs you!! yeahh maria is not gonna let this go. but when she goes to interfere but yank your arm away "my girlfriend has all of this under control so why don't you turn around and get back to work, the nerve of you!" Maria jaw is DROPPED. i mean she knew you could get serious but seeing her adorable gf give commands does something to her body. almost as if she's shy being in ur presence. she's sure she's never smiled bigger. you turn around and grab her had and guide her to the break room. she feels like she has a silly little school girl crush as she giddily follows you around.
sharon carter
(this is power broker sharon bc she's hot but no one's dead BC I SAID SO) To say sharon was kinda nervous about telling you about her job was an understatement. i mean you were an avenger but also the love of her life. it was a long talk but you got it to work. anyways you hung around a lot at her place bc hello?? it's huge and you love seeing ur hot gf do illegal ass things bccc she wasn't an avenger level threat (yet) so by ur logic, we're chilling. and she was on okay terms with steve, bucky and sam. when she hosts her auctions you're always welcome to come to them too! you want to be there just in case the worse happens, even tho she's more than capable of controlling it. but that doesn't mean you're safe from any guys or gals that want to hit on you. if they know who you are, you're okay but if they don't know who you are or have a death note they'll hit on you. usually you hang low or by the bar bc sharon's busy at these events. as you sip your favorite margarita you feel a tap on your shoulder. a security guard? "uhm hi can i help you?" you ask politely. unbeknownst to you sharon's watching (she always is) and heading her way over to you. the guards are specifically told not to speak to you unless u speak to them. she's possessive what can you say. "i'm not sure you're on the list your gonna have to step out" he says roughly grabbing ur arm and tugging you off your stool. sharon is basically bolting at this point. "my girlfriends the owner of this place and is the reason you buy ur meals so get off of me" you say and push him back. he's about to tackle you bc yk ego. until he sees an arm snake around your waist. oh sh*t. "get the hell out my house" sharon says and he gets escorted out. you'll probably never hear from him again. sharon grabs your waist and pulls you impossibly close to her as she places her lips on yours. "that was so sexy baby" she says on ur lips. her stern demeanor almost broke when she heard you calling her your girlfriend so proudly. it made her knees want to buckle and she felt like kicking her feet. she finally got the girl of her dreams and u guys were a match made it heaven. she can't stop thinking of this moment for months to come and definitely shows how proud she is of you later that night.
Nebula
nebula thought she was gonna be a lot of things in life. but never did she think she was gonna be the girlfriend of the most beautiful and kind girl in the galaxy. she seriously never expected to ever be blessed by your presence much rather be loved so deeply by you. although she's been weary of love her whole life, you've completely changed her perspective. you love her so deeply it's almost unfathomable. that being said, anything you guys are in a new planet and go explore you always make sure to stick to her side. who's gonna mess with ur big ass blue gf?? not to mention she's possessive with you and aggressive with anyone but you. she's also so gentle with her sweet girl. so you'd expect any on looker to stay away from you bc nebula likes to walk around with her hand on ur butt while holding you close. but when some weird looking dude approaches nebula immediately become alert but all he does is aggressively bump into her "hey watch where the hell your going u got ur dirty paws on my girlfriend!" you yell as you grab wtv the hell is on top of his (maybe hair??) and he has no other choice but to apologize to nebula. when he leaves nebula is left speechless. why are you so proud that ur dating her?she can't control herself tho and pulls you into an ally to passionately make out with you. that was so hot. she lifts you by ur butt and presses you against a wall. you giggle and pull away as she chases ur lips "what's with this nebby?" "i love you." she says hoarsely. she didn't know how to respond to the whole situation. she couldn't care less about what the guy said or didn't say. but you loved her so much and we're so open about it. she was gonna love you forever.
kate bishop
Kates sure you could do something so simple as breathing and she would get giddy. she's no kidding. she absolutely adores you and you adore her. that's why you two just work. and while not all things come to you guys that simple most things do. you to do have your fights but they can usually be resolved with a good talk followed by a movie marathon with pizza and Lucky cuddles. so that's what you guys are doing right now. don't get me wrong, this happens on a weekly bases not just when you guys are having an argument. it's just a chill saturday afternoon, both you and kate resting from having a hard week in training and working with adults who never seemed to be pleased with any improvement in any skill. but anyways. you kate and lucky are all cuddled up on her couch as you decide what movie to pick out. as if it's a 6th sense kate suddenly gasps "we didn't order pizza!" and even lucky pops his head up, distraught by this horrible news. you have a good laugh but kate is seriously concerned about this. you stroke her hair and kiss it and tell her you'll order it rn. kate js smiles snuggly at lucky (who she high fives) as she leans her head on ur tit and receives head rubs. you call her favorite pizza place and order ur usual order while she finds a few movies to binge. thanks to nyc, ur pizza arrives in no time. and when you hear the bell ring you and lucky go answer the door. kates too busy complaining cuz her pillows gone. as you answer the door luckys right there as ur security. "haha your dogs really cute!" says the delivery guy "thank you my girlfriend found him!" you say simply as you tip him and close the door. kate literally gets up and runs around as she squeals. you thought she was just really hungry but after she picks you up when you put the pizza down she tells you other wise. she spins you around and cannot take the big goofy smile off her face. she's left speechless but her smile speaks for her. when you ask her about it your heart melts at how pure she is. the rest of the night she's has that smile on her face as she's resting on ur favorite pillow, you!!
a/n- so sorry this took so long and it's kinda crappy! i was kinda stuck so they all sound similar but hopefully you guys enjoyed! send requests!!🤍🤍
stay safe hoes🤍

One of the biggest things that made me aware how desperate zks are ,is completly disregarding aang's trauma or grief. Just for them to say how it is easier for him to forgive then katara in TSR. Because supposedly his opressors are long dead and he doesn't have a target to fuel his anger anymore. Oh and he wasn't there to witness it. So let me make a point. You are the avatar unwillingly, you were told that the war is coming and they need you at 12 old. You ran away with the thought that you would be separated with your master who is also your father figure who also is the only person that understands what you need. You had an acccident that puts you to comma for 100 years. You woke up, met cool friends but you are still willing to go back to your home after hearing that your people might be extinct. You see your home but its empty and kind of destroyed. Then with innocent chase after lemur reality hits you. You see your Master's skeleton in firebenders corpsses. After the avatar's outbreak it hits you that you might be the last air bender. You not only feel anger, pain ,sadness but also guilt that you not only failed your master's wishing but also your whole nation. Aang litterly has a fundament to become the villain, its typical origin of the "fallen angel" story. Hell it even pallarels jet's and hama's story because they too are angry only at the whole nation. I am asking once again how in the world it is easier for him to forgive then katara. Aang wouldnt even take revenge out of gyatso but out of his grief for his all people that counted on him and destroyed culture that he loved. But he didn't, not because it was easier for him but because he is extrimely mature emotionally and was taught that way by the monks and gyatso maybe. He really could do the same to the fire nation, he is the avatar, he is capable of decimating towns and mountains. But he didn't because of these reasons i pointed out and saying it is easier for him and that Zuko understands Katara's pain more is just such a desperate move that its disgusting to even think about.
Thats all, sorry for this long rant
Don't apologize for being right.

okay you know what fuck it
im going on a huge rant about the pjsk movie (a /pos one i loved it) so ⚠️⚠️ spoilers!! ⚠️⚠️
i wasnt exaggerating when i said that this is one of the best movies ive ever seen, and i hate movies. there have been three movies i can remember actively loving to see in theater, and two of them are the spiderverse movies. the third is amwcs. abd the pjsk movie is the only one to really significantly affect me emotionally!!!
literally the free four star in game is like just an extra bonus, seeing it in theaters is literally worth every penny imo
okay after this point there will be some ACTUAL SPOILERS so this is your last warnig
.
.
.
okay are we good
okay
so the fucking motif. the fucking "kitto..." that song. that motif. hey what if i cried. i swear to fuck
its really a genius use of the song, and i dont doubt for a second that deco*27 had a part in making that decision. after all, he seems to be the head for the music in this film
now. i think hello SEKAI itself is literally a culmination of What Pjsk Is, what it means to people. hello SEKAI references the movie unit songs, and it references a few past pjsk songs deco worked on, and it overwhelmingly conveys the tone of pjsk clear as can be. not just the tone actually, the theme of pjsk.
i dont want to get into a whole lyrical analysis rn but overall, if you read the lyrics, you can see how the miku is truly wanting to reach out to everyone, and you can see how the pjsk characters play a role in that.
the pjsk cast are helping "miku" (a representation of vocaloid as a genre and community) reach the people who made the windows SEKAI (the audience, the people pjsk tends to call out to. that is, people who are lost and about to give up, whatever that means for them) so that the "virtual singers" (again, the vocaloid community and even just music as a whole) can help them find out their true feelings (which are, more often than not, "i dont want to give up" or "i dont want to disappear" or "i dont want to let them leave me" or something along those lines)
in other words, have you ever wanted a SEKAI? i know i have, for personal reasons. well,
the windows SEKAI is the SEKAI for people who have lost hope, us.
this movie was made to reach you. this movie, this GAME, was made to reach you and help.
idk if anyone who cried watching it feels ashamed, but you shouldnt. genuinely, the project SEKAI movie is one thats made to cry to, one thats made for you to find safe. i think you should let it
theres a lot more but ill make a separate post for that (the separate post will not include a proper review, ive only watched it once after all) but ill end this post with this:
im glad that the movie was made for people who love project sekai, i would have been upset if it had dumbed itself down to appeal to a wider audience. it was made for you, not the ratings or box office sales
#i speak 2#pjsk#pjsk movie#colorful stage! the movie: a miku who can't sing#like would it really have been as good if they had made it more accessible to non-pjsk players. i doubt it#thats why i think ratings wont be very high initially

🌎 oscar + he’s the wag au (driver!reader)
BABE. marissa. this absolutely set something off in my brain. i went on a RANT!!!!
like oscar who's studying at uni to be a mechanical engineer and just works at a melbourne pub or something like that. and driver!reader meets him through a friend of hers when she visits home. omfg. just imagining them in the beginning of their relationship during (australian)summer break aka between seasons where she keeps going to this pub he works at to see him and he’s all raised eyebrows, dry and shouldn’t you be watching your diet or something? but he knows she’s just there to see him😮💨
and the first race he goes to while dating her is OBVIOUSLY melbourne. and he’s so nerdy about being in the paddock because he’s spent his whole life buying GA tickets and now he’s dating an f1 driver and he gets to see the cars up close and really be in the thick of it. i bet he absolutely loves it but tries to act a bit cool about it all so he doesn’t embarrass himself in front of her😣
but he’s studying mechanical engineering and she’s told everyone at mercedes who will listen. so naturally they end up talking to him. and later everyone tells her how smart he is and how much they like him😵💫 idk just they’re ALL driver!reader’s protective parents y’know. even lewis has a bit of a conversation with him and stamps his approval. and i think in this weird little universe i have where george is mercs reserve driver (which idk i need to workshop i think) he’d be yapping away with oscar the entire time😁
god and okay so oscar’s priority is finishing his degree. he’s got a very good head on his shoulders and he would unfortunately not just skip off to monaco with her where she definitely lives because of lando. so she’s always flying back to visit melbourne when she has a big enough gap or she’s flying oscar to her when he’s on break🤭 but i think by the time they meet he’s probably in his last year so it’s not long until she’s on her hands and knees begging him to move to monaco with her. and he does. and obviously through ✨connections✨ he would get a job in the kind of f1 orbit even if it wasn’t at mercedes or in f1 necessarily. and it’s not even because of her really it’s because he’s impressive and he’s smart!!!
obviously she introduces him to all her driver friends in monaco. max and lando especially, who i think she’s closest with in this au (other than george). i think wag!oscar and max would get along very well. they bond over a lot of the technical stuff oscar knows about and i think wag!oscar would have some strong opinions about not being interested in the fame/media aspect of f1, which max would appreciate. i think lando would get on wag!oscars nerves and i think lando would also be a bit of a protective brother for driver!reader. but they’d definitely warm up to each other and become good friends, i think their personalities mesh really well they’d just have a few speed bumps to get over at first.
ugh ok. i could say more but i’ll stop here😭
it did also start viv and i on a tangent about dj wag!lando and driver!oscar. but thats a whole separate thing 😭
#wag!oscar#lilli’s birthday celebration#💌asks#as usual all au’s are open for more discussion!!#driver!reader
