#but the smaller twink wins

Come Through ୨୧ George Russell x Rockstar! Reader

Is rockstar the right word? idk I just know bro is crazy bts, the white boy with Excel persona is fooling NO ONE Georgie boy. Also, Reader has vibes of the Weekend song, hence the fic name.

Lando thinks it's all a joke. He hadn't been crying, screaming and manifesting for the past three years only for his celebrity crush to be dating someone else, another driver that too.

"WHO-" He yells as he storms into Max's room, where most of the drivers had collected, they hadn't decided but they all just gravitated towards the blonde with sweet blue eyes who listened to the vent and gave the best hugs, "AFTER ALL WE WENT THROUGH- WHO IS DATING Y/N L/N?"

All eyes were on him, Max lying on his bed, Charles, Carlos and Daniel with him. Lance, Esteban and Pierre were on the sofa, playing FIFA on Max's PS5, George and Alex were sharing the smaller two-seater, Zhou and Yuki were passing a tennis ball to each other and Logan and Oscar were sleeping, cuddling close on the floor surrounded by pillows, but were now woken up by Landos yelling.

"Lando stop screaming," Charles yelled back.

"No," he simply replied and made his way to the bed where he jumped on top of Carlos and Daniel, the older of whom groaned and grumbled something about his back, but Lando didn't care, he pushed his phone in Max's face, blurring his face in Carlos's neck.

Max began laughing, looking up from the post to the distraught Lando currently getting his hair played with by Carlos.

"Mate, I don't think you're her type," he threw the phone back to the whining boy.

"Yeah? And how would you know? I look exactly like Edward!" He pointed to the bassist of the band you were a part of.

"Kelly loves her music..." he muttered, looking away much to the younger man's amusement.

"HAH!" He shrieked, "SHE'S NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND ANYMORE!!" He laughed to which Carlos pushed his head down, eliciting an 'oomph'.

"I've been told many times," Max muttered to himself and turned to Lando to hear the rest of his rant, though loud and fast, the boy was the best source of entertainment they had.

"Max, look at her band, she's so coooool," he groaned, passing the phone to him again.

Cupidd

"She's coming to China?" Max asked no one in particular but Lando took it as an invitation to freak out.

"Bro please, please, please let me win this one, I'll owe you forever, bro please," Lando tried his puppy eyes on Max but Max jumped out of bed calling his girlfriend, walking out the room trying his best to convince the older woman to not attend the race.

"I have so much work to do," Lando gasped and followed Max out the room.

The race was one to remember, with Max winning but George a close second and Lando barely a tenth away on the third.

He hadn't been able to find the girl anywhere but at least he got points for the team. He went to the McLaren team party and forgot about the other celebration taking place.

username LANDO??? username he's one of ussssss username bbg you get me 😮‍💨 in ways no man ever has

George woke up with the worst headache he ever had in his life, he was sure he'd never get over this hangover but then he saw y/n next to him, hair tussled wearing the white shirt he was wearing last night.

"Y/n, darling, wake up," he pressed a kiss on her shoulder.

"mmhm," the woman groaned, turning to the blonde next to her and kissing him, the taste of vodka still fresh in her mouth.

She melted into his touch as he deepened the kiss, " Mornin' G," she whispered to him, voice hoarse from the night before.

He smiled in return, placing one last kiss on the corner of her lips. She searched around for her phone, finding it fallen amongst their haphazardly discarded clothes and opened Instagram to thousands of notifications.

She was used to it by now, it was quite fun.

y/nl/n

username god I see what you've done for others 😭

"Darling, did you post-" George had just begun but his room was rudely broken into, running in he saw a hyper papaya-coloured blur followed by a very hungover Max Verstappen.

Lando gasped looking at the woman next to George, screeching at an inhuman pitch, "HOW'D THIS PIECE OF VANILLA FRAPPUCCINO WOO HER??!?!?" He pointed at Y/n, making the woman laugh.

George offended, scoffed at the boy, "Well if you must know, I met her at Nando's party-" he was cut off once again, this time by the Dutch man.

"That makes sense actually," he said and immediately grabbed Lando by the collar and dragged him out, "Sorry guys!" he yelled after himself.

"I like your friends," Y/n said smirking making the taller man blush and push the woman slightly, before collapsing back into bed, making a silent promise of never trying to out-drink the woman again.

Self indulgent, Pre-release Mr Reca thoughts (and hopefully prayers for me, because this man makes me salivate.)

Nsfw don't like don't read

This is filthy as hell.

Pet play, dacryphilia, and probably a few more I hadn't think of yet, this is a wild ride

I wanna make this man whimper so hard you have no fucking idea, this man makes me feral. I want to see him on the floor like a dog for me just augghhhhhhhhhh

Anyways.

Mr Reca with pet play. You saw the trailer, you will see the vision. Crazy director man who probably has a thing for controlling things because of his personality (maybe) or profession? Sign me the fuck up. I want to see this twink with a collar and leash. I want to fuck him hard and make him whimper and call him a pathetic little puppy. I want to make him wear a tail plug.

Or, alternatively, make him hump my shoe while he wears some fluffy dog ears. I see him as a dog boy, I have no idea why, but he gives possessive dog boy vibes. Bear with me here. Make him a custom collar or thigh straps with your name on it. I mean he already has them in his daily outfit, it would just make sense y'know?

Mr Reca with dacryphilia because I like my men crying and in pain. That thing about men whimpering and whining being hot is my whole personality when I'm reading fics, that is my vanilla, let's go. I want to see this pretty man crying while I suck him dry, I want to kiss his tears away while I prevent him from coming over and over. And by gods above I want to see this man full on bawling after all the overstim. Kiss away the tears because I'm soft like that.

Mr Reca but we tie him up with his straps. Why does one man need that many straps anyways? Or hell, his jacket thing works too, that shit def looks hot if he wore it without a shirt underneath like the back is 80% open, it covers nothing but it's giving everything fr. Y'all think we can hang him up with just his straps? Fuck him hard while he's up?

Mr Reca but we def filming, I shit you not that is the thing that started this post. Use his phone, your phone, do it on a private Livestream for yourself, use his freaking cameras, do it on set let's goooooooooo. I wanna watch him write his scripts as we fuck, let him sit on your dick if you can, if not cockwarm him instead. We winning no matter what. Make that man struggle and whimper, we ✨love✨ whimpering men in this house. If he feels generous maybe he'll let us wrap him up with his film tape of him being fucked and takes pictures with it. He probably won't though, but he'll probably keep them~♡ I wanna see him drool on camera so I can zoom in on his face and take pictures of it.

Mr Reca and a breeding kink???? A height difference and size kink??? I can see this going both ways. I feel like it's less breeding kink, and more he likes the feeling of cum. How to explain this? No clue. But I just think he would. Let him suck you off or eat you out, get his face wet~

For the size/height kink I think it goes both ways. I think he doesn't really care if you're smaller than him or bigger than him, he just likes it y'know? Maybe you're smaller than him but you can fuck his brains out. Maybe you're tall enough you can lift him up and fuck him against the wall without his feet touching the floor. ✨Just difference in general✨ baby. Bonus points too if you're big, I feel like he'll enjoy getting squished. Doesn't matter if you're masc or femme leaning and/or presenting, he likes getting squished.

And I hadn't really started on the real size kink idea yet, damn. Okay, size kink when he sees his stomach having a bulge as you fuck him. We love a skinny twink. I think he would see it and his mind would just go blank, like, "what the fuck, you're that big" kinda thing. Strap on or not, I think the surprise factor of seeing it is something he likes.

Mr Reca with mirrors. Listen. Trust me. Mirrors. I just love watching this unhinged man get his mind fogged by pleasure. This is a thing I love. I wanna see his face and watch him cry and watch him struggle. We've seen how deranged this man is in the trailer, now let's fuck him up literally so we can see his face more. Do it against those big, wall length mirrors you see in dancing studios if he's working on a musical or something. Do it in one of his trailers while he's out filming on set, bonus if it's not even room and we just press him against a random ahh mirror in a random trailer for costume and makeup.

I blame the unhinged energy today on my exams.

Hope you enjoyed? Well, technically I wrote this for myself but, sure. Posting this for funsies.

[raileurta]

So @gyancastle had this idea and made cool art that when the apex armor is piloted by a human they turn into a cybertronian. Miko also gets this sick battle axe! Here's the link to the post(s) if you want to see it. So anyways I'm yoking that idea.

After Miko gets the apex armor instead of taking it away from her the team decides to let her keep it. They train her in self defense, strategy, Cybertronian's martial arts, and how to use her axe. She becomes quite the force in the field.

One day in battle a weird ground bridge is activated but it looks nothing like a standard one. It's huge, a distorted look to it, and a deep yellow. It starts sucking everything in which of course includes Miko. When she's spat out she's millions of miles in the air, after falling for a bit she crash lands in a forest. Distorted she walks to the nearest body of water near which is a big lake. Washing herself off of tree branches, leaves, dirt, and other kinds of debris Miko hears a crunch. Turning around with her battle axe ready she comes to a strange sight. It's Optimus, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet and a random human girl??? But there's something wrong with them, first of all they're comically much smaller and look different. (This during season 1 btw because I haven't finished the series yet but will be reconed in the future probably)

Miko demands to know who they are which they of course give their names which makes her more confused. Falling back on her training she realizes she needs information. So she decides to go along with whatever is happening. They ask for her destination which she responds "joyride prime" because Miko is still Miko she's going to do some trolling. She looks weirdly similar to her own Optimus when she's in the armor, plus Miko doesn't think she could handle being given orders by a fun sized Optimus. She barely tolerates orders back home!

Anyways she goes with them and when they ask what alt mode she wants. Miko has to awkwardly talk about how she can't transform. Miko "explains" that her t-cog was removed a long time ago and she can't replace it for whatever reason. The bots are horrified but she just plays it off.

They go back to base and Miko hangs out with Sari for a few minutes, she finds it really neat that this kid is like a mini her. Miko finds the other bots very charming as well; they're like a softer version of her own autobots. Especially Optimus, he actually shows emotions here!

Then a alarm goes off; decepticons are causing trouble of course and Miko goes along with them to fight. She hitches a ride with Bulkhead since you know she can't drive there. It's starscream doing whatever plot he's doing, he starts monologuing and Miko is like fuck that. I already get enough of this from her own decepticons. She throws her axe and cuts one of his arms off. When it spins back to her Miko starts rocking this twink's aft. It's like embarrassing easy to her; yeah starscream was a little incompetent in her universe but at least he could fight. The fact this one was much smaller and hasn't been fighting a lot, so yeah an easy win. When Miko goes for the kill she's stopped by Optimus. This dude has such a horrified look on his face that it stops her in her tracks. This gives starscream enough of an opening to escape. She's pissed™️ and asks why he stopped her? Optimus is also a little mad because wtf, we don't kill! They then head back to base to continue their argument there. It's really messy because remember in Miko's universe it's more violent and death is sort of normalized. So she doesn't get what she did wrong!

Miko storms off somewhere. Sari tries to follow her but is stopped by bumblebee. He thinks this new mech is a little too violent and dangerous for her to be around. The young girl doesn't listen and goes after our wrecker anyways. Sari finds the older girl brooding on a random donut shop. They have a talk and Miko accidentally reveals she's not a Cybertronian. She decides since the cats already out of the bag she tells Sari everything over donuts and go back to the base.

Everyone is a little mad at Sari but glad she's safe; Miko is a little offended. Yes I did just try to kill a guy but I'm not going to hurt a little kid! Sari tells them about how Miko is from a different universe and the war. (She leaves out the being human bit) . Now knowing her situation the bots better understand her behavior. The autobots set off of trying to figure out how to get Miko home.

Meanwhile the prime autobots are freaking the fuck out. Miko's been sucked into a whole other dimension being subjected to who knows god what!

--------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile with the animated bots:

Miko: Then my Bulkhead ripped that venhcon's whole guts out! I practically felt the sparks on my skin!

Everyone: 😨

Optimus covering sari's ears: great........

--------------------------------------------------

If we're being completely honest Miko is terrorizing this universe not the other way around.

opinion on twinks ? i feel like they are ONLY used to joke abt and then throw under the bus and it makes me extremely upset as someone who identifies as one . i feel like im the only one who cares

opinion on twinks: wonderful, radiant, a gift to our society, desired, loved, needed, appreciated

i agree with you, actually- i used to be friends with some transfeminine people who genuinely thought it was funny to say they were "twinkphobic" and meant it- they genuinely would go on and on about how they hated twinks because i guess? people would confuse them for twinks, which is not the twinks' faults, but rather transmisogynistic society's fault. i don't get the hatred, i really don't, and even as a bear i felt so uncomfortable around these women when they'd go on these rants, as a gay man. i'm transfeminine, but the gay community is my community, and i'm not okay with people throwing any gays under the bus, for any reason.

there's nothing wrong with being a thin effeminate queer person, people really just love to show they asses especially when it comes to straight up being homophobic. people will love to clamor and say they love gay men but then instantly throw twinks under the bus and then go on to say that bears are gross and hunks aren't gay. people love to be homophobic and pretend like they arent; like gays can't win, even among other queers, people find ways to bully and mock us, make us feel bad for expressing ourselves and berate gays for how they choose to dress, look and act. it's not cute, it's not funny, it's literal homophobia.

also every person who gives thin and/or pre-T transmascs & trans men shit for being twinks deserves to get smacked at least 150 times. if you are claiming that you dislike twinks because of transmascs, i need you to think long and hard about why the hell you're so transandrophobic and how you can afford to take a long walk far, far away from queer spaces until you sort that shit out. there are just as many if not more cis twinks than transmasc twinks, knock that shit right the hell off, also don't call trans men twinks in order to emasculate them, because it's not even an insult in the first place.

most thin people don't choose to be thin, why the hell are we body shaming people? even if someone is choosing to be thin, oh well? that's how they want their body to look? they may also be struggling with an ED, which deserves compassion? or maybe feel guilty about their body in a fatphobic society, which also deservse compassion? oh you hate men/mascs/people who meticulously groom and care about their presentation? that's literally what cishet men rag on gays for. can we talk about this?

i've heard some people say they hate twinks because twinks are the "socially acceptable gays"- that's not even true, what the hell does that even mean? cishet society still hates twinks, just because occasionally an effeminate skinny white cis gay man becomes successful doesn't mean that twinks are accepted by cishet society- they're not. it's not okay to bully and abuse twinks just because they have a marginally smaller chance of being hate crimed

so basically what i'm saying is this shit makes me angry and i'm with you, i care, and i don't think it's funny to throw any type of queer under the bus, it's literally just punching down on other queers and it's not helping. great to know some people still have internalized queerphobias and have zero intention of getting past them, but that's not where i'm at. i'm not here for creating hostile and violent spaces

[gimmemore14]

Ahhhhhhh!!!! I came here because I just finished Chapter 15 of your Bad Guys win A/B/O fic (I can’t remember the exact title and have the tab closed 😭) and let me tell you I am OBSESSED with your writing, holy chips. It’s such an indulgent fic for me with the angst and more angst and aghhhhhhhhh it’s so good!!! And I have so many questions, so many little thought hyper fixations from it! Like, Wally being alive- AGCHCIDJNDND!! How would Slade even react to that, to Wally and Dick potentially being reunited? And Tim!!! My poor baby!! I’m literally frothing at the mouth every time I remember how isolated he is in regards to everyone else. Because Jason’s finally with the others now, and Dick has Damian (and had Rose and Joey as well technically) but Tim is just… GOD THE ANGST. AUTHOR YOU GENIUS. He’s all alone in these isolated mountains with Ra’s and going through non-consensual body modifications and AFSHDHJJNN (Tim is one of my favorite characters). Although I guess he technically does have SOME support, slightly, with Layla and Ali and Amzi… It’s not the same as full on family yk? And then DICK. DICK’S ARC. GOD. He’s isolated, and coerced, and manipulated- he’s given this false sense of home, of pack, he’s trauma bonded with his abuser, he’s genuinely emotionally entangled with Slade, he’s initially terrified of Slade’s softness because he KNOWS the psychological consequences of softness from a abuser and captor, he KNOWS it’ll make everything ten times more confusing and he’ll get conflicted about his emotions and bonds, AND IT HAPPENS AND NOW HES MATED!! And the engagement dinner! What’s going to happen to Tim? God, what’s going to happen when KON sees him? I genuinely wonder what Tim’s sort of breaking point is going to be, for this fic, however. What I mean by this is Jason and Dick both had this sort of arc where they were reached this submissive, defeated state. For Dick this happened in much smaller increments, him breaking down along the way and then the final sort of end all be all being the bite, and with Jason it was suddenly forced into him, with Sionis’ forced mating and Jason’s subsequent submission. Even if Jason wasn’t fully broken, he was still submitted to Sionis. But with Tim, he’s still got all this fire and snark. He’s ready to do whatever it takes to make this hard for Ra’s, with the way he keeps egging him on. I’m DYING because I have a feeling the forced mating bite from Ra’s is going to be HIS breaking point into submisson, and OH MY CHIPS AM I NERVOUS FOR THAT. I just KNOW he’s going to be the prettiest bride ever though, I say this in the least sadistic way possible I promise you I am not trying to glorify or romanticize rape and non-consensual body modifications resulting in a loss of control over masculinity, but like. Tim is canonically the Twink ok. He’s going to be so pretty and so tragic and I just. I’m just here for that ok?

So that’s pretty much the end of my hyper fixation rant… god I’m so sorry if you had to read all this but just know I absolutely EAT UP your writing, it makes my day, and I CANNOT wait for if you ever update it again (I’ll def try to leave another comment like this for a new chapter if you don’t mind)

THANK YOU FOR FEEDING US WITH YOUR DELICIOUS WORK IM VERY GRATEFUL 🙏

SO GLAD YOURE LIKING IT!!!

Idk how to write stories without angst 😭😂

Slade was definitely a little jealous of Wally at first (I mean the man caught him masturbating thinking about Wally 😬😏) but now well… you’ll find that Slade is feeling pretty secure with them having matching mating bites gahah he’d definitely be a cocky prick about it now

Poor Tim definitely has the worst of it now! His isolation breeds desperation and honestly a bit of a moral disconnect as a form of self protection. Every bird thought they were alone, but Tim knows he is… hopefully that’ll change soon hahaha

That’s 100% why Dick fought so hard!! Even with the arrival of Joey and rose he was grateful but also pissed because he knew Slade would use them against him too, he called him out for it, knew the man’s plan but unfortunately Dick can’t just… NOT care about people either. If Slade kept being an aggressive asshole the whole time things would be different; however, he’s a smart man and dick is definitely emotionally entangled now (but so is Slade 😂)

Tim is feeling a false sense of security with Ra’s traditional values so despite what’s happening to his body, he feels like he still has time (he doesn’t) but seeing the supers at the engagement dinner may change the urgency factor and make things more real for him…

You KNOW Ra’s is putting him in a multimillion dollar outfit, but he’d be the prettiest omega bride even in a potato sack hahah

Thank you for reading, don’t apologize, I LOVE comments/asks like this!! Blood in the Water has been my favorite thing to write so far!

Update will come eventually but I’m heading to Italy for my sisters wedding/vacation so my brain has been focusing on that, hopefully by the end of the month I’ll be able to crank the rest out and edit it 💜

People think batman or superman is the most popular hero. Hell, maybe even wonder woman. They do a poll and... red robin is the most popular hero? But... but how?!?!? (He's always doing hero work, likes to comfort victims, relatable, fun, funny etc)

there's this fic that i almost constantly reread by dexdefyingstunts called 'fandom's favorite twink'!!!!! and the concept is that tim is almost universally used as the twink!! the default bottom in the capes community because they're all just so...hunky and muscley.

so maybe there's also a mix of that intertwined and the superheroes who were at first grumbling at the poll (because they were all expecting superman or wonderwoman to win but turns out its not even a JL member who won) all fall silent when they look back on footage and photos of them interacting with red robin and realizing how many of them just...pick him up and move him how they want to. and they hadn't realized just how....compact red robin was.

red robin is also very androgynous with frequent arguments in online chatrooms occurring about whether he's a boy or a girl because they're so well built but their hips are just a little too wide for a boy and they either have nice pecs for a boy or small tits for a girl.

red robin is one of the few heroes who opted out of having the distribution companies owned by wayne and queen industries design and make merch. merchandising like tshirts, backpacks, shoes, jackets, and jewlery is one of the ways to fund heroes, pay for their equipment, keep bases up and running, provide funds for relief efforts and repair damages done to cities. for other heroes it's also a way to make sure they have a steady income because the hero business leads to a lot of injuries and time off which means many aren't able to hold a steady job.

the assumption that superman, wonderwoman, or even batman and flash would win the title of favorite hero was because the number of sales on their merchandise reflected them as the top selling hero and well....you wouldn't buy a shirt of someone you hate would you?

red robin doesn't have merchandise but with a little digging into the accounting department, they're able to find small online sellers like artists, printers, and craftspeople who all handmake hero merchandise of smaller, local, and unknown heroes. red robin is the top seller across all the boards.

more than that there are an overflowing amount of fanclubs, social media, websites, and chatrooms dedicated to red robin. they're able to find out pretty quickly why.

red robin is one of the few heroes the public is sure is human. just a normal average human. and that means something to people. because superman and wonderwoman are borderline gods who are at levels no normal person could ever hope to achieve. same with all meta heroes. they're human sure, but they're all still at an...unreachable level for most people.

but even among human heroes, red robin stands out. batman is long suspected to be a meta but even if he wasn't he's just too...offputting, too creepy. a lot of people have made the assumption that he's mean in real life and sure bruce set out to be scary but he never intended to project...cruelty. red hood has the same problem. the lethality puts off as much people as it gets people who support him. nightwing hangs around more aliens and metas than actual humans which gives him a certain kind of...framing. it makes it seem like his feet don't even touch the ground. the new robin isn't as gentle and reassuring as the others. black bat has the same problem as batman. batgirl is more interested in getting into fights and solving cases than helping out the victims or people who are still shaking after a near mugging.

all the human heroes fall short.

they're not as good at their job as red robin.

they're not as nice or kind.

they're not as funny.

they're not...people. people in the sense that when they put on a mask, they don't rise to another level above everyone else. red robin stays at the exact same level. he talks like a person, walks like one, interacts with them like one.

everything about red robin highlights how he's as average and normal as everyone else. only that when he saw something wrong in the world- he went out to try and fix it. and even after all the years as a cape, all the hardships and pain he endured and went through, he still never lost his gentle touch or kindness.

he still thought people were worth saving and fighting for. even though his days must be filled with fighting against the worst humanity had to offer.

red robin looked at gotham, it's people, and the world and said that they were worth the pain and struggle of protecting.

no augmentations, no magical powers, no alien birth rights, no space ring- just human.

red robin wasn't popular because he had the flashiest costume, coolest powers, or longest time on the roster.

he was the favorite by a landslide because people looked at him and saw the personification of perseverance and the human spirit.

the other heroes see this and know they don't stand a chance against him. not even a little

A little quirky amusement park date between local skelly twink Darby and resident scumbag going good boi MJF

Darby Allin x MJF on a date; drabble

Word count: 742

Warnings: none!

Notes: I used to write this ship quite a bit awhile back, so I’ve missed these two! Enjoy!

Maxwell wasn’t a big fan of a lot of things his boyfriend was into. It wasn’t a surprise, either. Their personalities clashed all the time, but it was something they both loved about one another. Always being introduced to new things, constantly showing one another things they knew they wouldn’t like. Sometimes it was fun, other times it annoyed Maxwell or bored Darby.

For once, however, Maxwell would be the one to plan something that wasn’t a fancy dinner out. Instead, he took Darby to an amusement park, which was right up the daredevil’s alley. He was so excited that it made the scumbag almost forget where he was, that was until he stepped into something that resembled fair food on the ground and suddenly he wanted to just leave. But this wasn’t about him, it was about Darby.

So, here he is, sitting outside the exit of a rollercoaster with a cheap, stuffed tiger tucked under his arm that he had won for Darby earlier, as he scrolled through his phone. He didn’t do rollercoasters, but he would wait in the lines and by the exits for Darby to be done. His boyfriend would return to him, arm tossed around his shoulders as he smiled like an idiot.

“That was awesome! You should seriously do the next one, Max!” Darby encouraged as the two began to walk once more to find yet another coaster of death — as Maxwell called them.

“I think I’ll pass, babe.” Darby rolled his eyes at that, though the smile still remained. He didn’t mind as long as Maxwell was here with him, after all. It wasn’t often at all that his boyfriend would take him to dates like this.

The only other time it wasn’t a fancy restaurant was a skatepark where Darby actually managed to get Maxwell on a skateboard for a few minutes. Whenever Maxwell stepped out of his comfort zone, that’s when Darby cherished these moments.

“How about you ride just one coaster with me, no loops or super big drops, and we can go get dinner tomorrow night at that place you like?” Darby offered, stopping the two of them by standing in front of Maxwell to interrupt his steps.

“You mean the one that you hate because you have to get all dressed up in a suit, which by the way, you always look so goddamn good in?” A smirk playing at Maxwell’s lips as he speaks and Darby just knows he’s almost convinced. He just needs a little more push.

“That’s the one. I’ll even wear that red one that you love so much.” And Maxwell is making a small show of acting like his knees buckled slightly at the thought, head tilted back slightly with a dramatic little groan — acting as though the very thought of Darby in that deep red suit was enough to bring him to his knees. And while the thought doesn’t bring him to his knees, the sight certainly does.

“Alright fine. One ride and after that, no more.” Maxwell spoke firmly, making sure it was clear that it would be one coaster and no more. But part of him wanted to just let Darby drag him to every ride after seeing how wide his smile got upon taking the offer.

However, that thought was quickly tossed aside after the ride was over. His head spun, his stomach churned, and he felt like he was about to puke with every step they took upon exiting the ride. But Darby seemed fine. In fact, he was hopping around, exclaiming how cool it was and how they should go again.

“You don’t look so good.” Darby commented in an amused tone, looking over at his boyfriend who looked at thought he was on the verge of losing his lunch.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. Hey, I’ll win you another one of those stuffed animals if we can go ahead and get out of here.” The smaller man laughed softly at the offer, slipping an arm around Maxwell’s waist to guide him to the nearest mini game.

“Sounds like a plan.”

And as Maxwell would waste 20 bucks trying to win a stuffed penguin for his boyfriend, he would remind himself to never go to another amusement park again, no matter how cute an excited Darby was to see.

Meanwhile in The Pit(tm)

Suddenly, losers from the smaller round are herded into The Pit (tm).

There is ominous laughter.

Then a smiling golden-eyed twink peeks over the edge, which is much taller than it had been back when the Masters had been thrown in. At least 10 feet tall cement walls surround them.

"My partner says the numbers aren't working out," The twink announces. "And I think y'all deserve another chance. So. um. Stay here until we figure it out mm'kay?" He says before disappearing. As if they have a choice.

He's back like 20 seconds later.

"I forgot! Not you, daddy." And Kimblee is yanked out of The Pit (tm) in much the same manner that his arm is yanked out of its socket.

And he's gone.

This time it sticks.

The remaining villains are left to languish.

Their fate is up to you, lovely viewers!

In: Technically Not Election Fraud!

So there are 44 winners and winning teams of round 1, I could just do some randomly assigned rounds of 3. but that's boring So we're bringing 20 contestants back to get a nice 2^n-y 64. Or smuggle in new contestants it's all fair game!

You can check as many boxes as you like, but I ask that you only do that once. Honor code.

But also there is no honor here and I'm accepting bribes in the form of lore. (This is one big game and I want y'all to play with me).

fuck, okay

this is like a reverse apple of discord, “to the most screwed over”

loki and wheatley aren’t here, so once-ler gets the claim of starting it all. and that’s its own brand of nightmare fuel, tbh. knowing on some level that you caused this just by existing

that if you go back far enough, it’s all your fault

bill, the second, everything about once‘s path magnified and warped to “fit” a new character and the new environment of another fandom

judging everything I’ve seen out of that fandom since childhood (2014-16, what I consider the “golden era”) I think bill cipher’s fanbase is as good as it is bad; their highs are really high and their lows are really low. I still see billdip in the tags to this day, but they’re a vocal minority that’s only gotten smaller over time, in addition to way more if not all of it being aged-up, so it’s marginally less painful to think about

of course, that leaves out the entire separate but closely-linked hell that is being turned from a literal triangle into a pale, slender twink for the gratification of others, rather than just being born looking like that (once and alastor) or not being pressured to look like that in the first place (sans)

oh god sans where do I even start with sans

the one that broke the mold, so they made a different mold and shoved him in that instead

I think once a sans AU gets too detached and officially becomes just an OC, with all traits / traces of being “a sans” removed, besides just being a skeleton-ish creature with similar build and magic rules, they’re no longer part of the sans fandom and thus no longer his problem. that said, both sanscest and fontcest still crop up across the internet to this day

I do think his general reputation has healed over the years, and surprisingly I think him winning “ultimate sexyman” 2022 and being a finalist for it in 2023 were factors, because I saw so much genuinely serious and thought-provoking discussion about him and his impact between all the ‘sans sweep’ jokes

and alastor, oh alastor: return to form, start of the next generation of sexymen (yes I know black hat exists shut up this ain’t about him), the baby of the bunch— chronologically from a meta standpoint, anyway. in canon, not a baby at all. opposite of baby, in fact

my instinct is to give him the vote because alastor gets SO much shit, but here’s the thing: half of that shit is from OUTSIDE the hazbin hotel fandom

most people I know hate alastor because they hate vivzie. they’re not hazbin fans with a least favourite character, they don’t like hazbin at all. and I get it! it’s perfectly logical that if you hate a person, you’ll likely hate what they create too, because our creations are often a reflection of our interests, ideals, and aesthetics

inside the fandom, of course there’s your usual: harassment, misinterpretation, flanderization, heaps of untagged nsfw, the last of which goes hand in hand with RAMPANT aroace erasure and general aphobia, good lord

but that’s just it: it’s the usual. it’s not new or shocking anymore. just annoying and tiring. and that makes it kinda hard to accurately judge how bad it really is

so I think sans and alastor are both safe from my vote, albeit for opposite reasons

with the book of bill releasing in about a month, I suspect it’ll be less of an explosion of new life and drama and more like a whale fall keeping us going for another few years. at least, I HOPE

. . .

1/12/24

I know a whole lot about a whole little. He was enthralled by me. I douched my ass with white wine. It bit from the inside. His finger slipped up into me, tussled with my shit. I used a credit card to split the ketamine. I inhaled in one go. Then my head was out in space a bit. All over his wall was gay art. Men and dicks took up space. We are all overly concerned about space. I am a fucking pig. I squealed with his tongue in my asshole. He couldn't find his poetry from America. He met an important poet and felt important. When my time is up, I won't have done anything important. Trust me when I say it is all for nothing, in an okay way, that doesn't engulf me. He brought out four different poppers bottles. I tried each one like a wine tasting. I inhaled so deep I couldn't feel it anymore. When he was in me I couldn't fall off the cliff of pleasure. He glanced over my body from under my pelvis, his eyes peaking out as it from the side of a bed. Our bodies were entangled. I did remember I was going to die and the words bore me. He made a Moscow mule and I was stable. I felt real for four minutes. It didn't feel good or bad. I stood naked in the mirror and thanked God for my thinness. I am not a twink. He wanted to assign me a group. He determined twunk was more appropriate. Everything felt like a joke. Everything was impossibly important. He talked about the glamor of prestige and feeling important and successful and I was bored. When he came in my bare ass his face was wretched and writhing. Pain and pleasure are homoerotic friends. He wore a suit for me to create the fantasy of power. I was upside down speaking right ways up. He fucked me with his eyes. The next step after this is literally being eaten. I wonder if he could kill me with his tongue. I thought about the Swiss suicide boxes and imagined lying yourself down into a darkness from which you do not emerge. Gay men bow to pleasure. It is a sure path. Things that are all or nothing feel good. To be entitled to pleasure. Risking sanity or safety because it feels good. He said he was smart. We said faggot speaking our gay man language. We want to be smart and thin and unbothered. The most pleasure wins. The most fuck you eyes are the sexiest. He was drawing his hand across me and watching my naked body, my lungs inflating, deflating. He thought I was beautiful. I knew we didn't have long. The words defeat themselves. I admire things that stay that are not supposed to stay. I forgive people who do not deserve it. He liked my confidence. I was talking about the idiocy of bad kissers. It was whatever. He spoke about the diplomatic academy and applying for foreign service jobs, that specific internship. He was aghast he didn't get it. I thought about Ananya and Kamille because he was stuck in the why. My why is the shape of a body and feels like the swell of a chest with my conch shell ear over the ocean of his heart. My hand inside the void. I won't tell which finger I would get rid of first. He was impressed that I am American and a polyglot. Nothing matters enough. After 22, you are 30. I smirked about twink death. My sex is going to get nasty. No one, including myself, is awake. Whatever words are coming speak for themselves mostly. I'm tagging a long behind them like a dog. I am trusting the words and to where they are bringing me. This is a good poetry trail. In the dirt path poem, footprints build a sorrowful sentence. The sentence is the music of weeping. We are supposed to be smart and useful. We are not supposed to be anonymous. If our potential is gone, the want gets smaller, like how the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere directly correlates to spider size. He says do I work at Prada or the Foreign Service Ministry. I said ask yourself what you want and why. It is 5:06pm and horribly dark. Everything was fallow gray and ashen. The light bore dust from cryptic heavens. I said in Spain lives someone I love. He said you know so many words and I said only the ones that matter. My dick was out when I answered. My throat stopped hurting from the ketamine.

I swallowed. I reached the text maximum with the last paragraph which I have never done before. I am following the words and eating their bread trail. What will I make of poetry before it's too late? No one is innocent in their attempt to be none. I lied and told my friends I was still in bed sipping the Moscow Mule and talking about being special. Hello great jaw. I am so surrounded by human beings sometimes it is hard to move. I hold a knife like monkey bars. That is my way of keeping the suffering ignited. Queue leaving the electric stove in my apartment. My austere Landlady leaves me passive aggressive notes when I err in some way. Def Herd war auf, she said. Her eyes are nervous and beating. She never ends a conversation fluidly. I always end up having to walk away to make it cease. The main reason we communicate is for her to tell me how I've fucked up which makes me hate her, but I am guessing if I put more effort in to generally talk with them, it'd be less fraught. At least my suffering, my good suffering, my burning lungs suffering, keep me huffing and puffing on. The day I am orphan, I will do a thing I have never done before. Memory is an exercise in prayer. Aren't you talking to something that you aren't sure is there? Queue being the cleverest bitch in the club. Queen faggot was kissed by enlightenment snorting cocaine off of a strangers dick. I witnessed the silence of truth. The slowness of meaning. All the cameras were on me. The day I transform the agony written here, the day I can read this back. I miss the summer rain and my dogs. I sit in this McDonalds alone, fortunately. I need to go lay down again, and try to clean.

[archer3-13]

like, fist of the north star has a lot of problems. its ridiculous logic/storytelling. its gender attitudes both inherited from other post apocalypse stories, martial arts stories and of its own creation. its incredibly predictable formula for combat and villains. that its world just flat out makes no sense. that its characters will make weird jumps in internal reasoning to get the story from points a to points c. i could go on.

but. If i somehow ever got into a position to tell anykind of retelling on it one of the things i'd definitely do is really mix up the variety of physicality going on in the wasteland. hokuto no kens only able to escape 'sameface syndrome' by virtue of its villain cast largely looking like freaks of nature but it definitely could be better.

body type HC's

kenshiro: befitting his nature its a very unassuming build. obviously muscular but not overly so, average height, just a guy that looks so very incredibly plain at the end of the day. hence why no one recognizes him until like the last minute [outside of post apocalypse reasons of course] because until he starts actually flexing his power you see a ken at every street corner effectively.

shin: similar physicality as kenshrio in the sense of having muscle but not overly so visually speaking which speaks to unassuming strength, but unlike ken his face is obviously a lot more distinct and memorable being pretty boy face mr steal your girl and all. the kind of guy who looks like he should be the hero really compounding on shins complicated relation to ken and general struggle with feelings of inferiority when it comes to winning yurias heart.

rei: femboy twink face, owing to the fact that he can really easily pass as a girl ripe for being taken advantage of by burly stupid bandits. also that one fang clan guy directly referring to rei as attractive with the implication of being demure. when he does start fighting his strength and muscles become more apparent but overall the waterfowl fist and its practitioners would be on the lighter side [ballerina build esque or swimmer build esque i suppose] in keeping with their flowing martial art that focuses more on speed and mobility over raw power. even if its cutting power is deadly.

souther: given his style is largely focused on being a stanceless one capable of responding to any situation and otherwise superior to other nanto styles, his build like ken would be more towards the middle of things in the sense of having obvious muscle but still belaying the exceptional strength within. The only exception would be southers back muscles which would be exceptional as fuck in order to ensure the maximum effectiveness of his styles only actual stance.

toki: shredded jesus man, in the sense that he'd be emaciated as fuck yet also simultaneously ripped because thats how wasteland jesus rolls. in flashblacks he'd look closer to ken but also still being the most demure looking of the hokuto siblings in general speaking to his gentle nature despite his immense talents and how his philosophy in combat focuses moreso on redirecting force instead of overwhelming it.

raoh: as tall and muscular a he always is, because its god damn raoh. hes effectively right where he needs to be already.

Jagi: hyena like effectively, in past flashbacks he'd be closer to a middle ground between ken and raoh having a greater emphasis on muscle without being as tall as or quite as strong looking as raoh. following the fight with ken however and his disfigurement that bulk would reduce closer to kens size but with an overall more 'predatory look' to it. a more triangular chest then ken for instance but a smaller waste, stuff like that that. really looking the part of bizarro evil ken effectively. well i'm at it incidentally, I would change things up to have jagi in general be more effective/dangerous to ken [if were talking 'statistic book terms: pow 3->5 spd 3->5 skl 3->4] with his own martial arts being the 'waru no ken' or evil fist which focuses on exploiting openings and on hokutos ability to physically disable an opponent. also his own gang would in general be more competent still being small enough that they arent aiming to actually build anything but individually being more dangerous. roll jackals gang into jagis maybe like the movie and give em some more heavy hitters, idk.

amiba: spindly lil nerd boi whos own lithe but strong body is less a result of gentle nature and radiation poisoning and more so a result of his past training in the same style as rei and in general being a book nerd 'genius' interested in studying and understanding martial arts like a science. his face would also be more distinctly different compared to tokis driving home the idea more readily that amiba used martial arts to help alter his appearance in his 'ruin tokis reputation' plan.

yuda: the ultimate femboy twink baby even more effeminate looking then rei who refuses to ever let himself be outdone in that regard by reis 'gorgeous appearance/martial arts'.

ryuuga: springy like a wolf [a trait his soldiers in general would share emphasizing their nature as a wolf pack] but more obviously muscular compared to twink boi mc rei

Honestly that rei is introduced the way he is means i've never been able to get over the idea of femboy rei malewifing his way across the wastelands. it certainly makes any situation where hes next to kenshiro incredibly funny in my imagination as my mind eye pictures obviously muscular but otherwise ken doll plain kenshiro standing around stoically and sprightly green haired femboy weirdo rei trying to match that aura or out intimidate him but just looking like a mangy wet cat.

The Neo: TWEWY Ramble

Welp here I am, main story of NTWEWY done, not sure how to start this and still lacking the extra stuff such as Another Day or all the reports. I haven’t looked at the wiki since I want to explore it personally but I feel I should start this now before my thoughts fade. I can come back once it’s all done as a secondary opinion. (maybe)

In a general sense, this was a bit of a weak experience thanks to “A New Day” added to the final remix (switch) version of the original TWEWY game. I did not, and still do not, like what that did. I see no valid reason to kill Neku, again, and ruin his friends ending just for sequel bait. And believe me, sequel bait is all that plot lined paid off to be in the main story.

I would fully expect for the old cast to appear in the sequel but I only would’ve accepted this in two facets. First, small cameos just to let us see them; Shiki is a great example because she has a whole clothing brand showing that her dream has reached reality. Small stuff like that would’ve been keen or perhaps placing them in ‘Another Day’. Granted, they’d be alts of the originals but it would’ve been an acceptable cameo for their sequel designs.

Secondly, the old cast was the new cast. If you’re going to ruin the ending for four very well written people just to force them to stick around then commit to that and continue their story. In all fairness, the new cast was perfectly fine, I wont sit here and tell you they weren’t. I would argue their arcs weren’t as well done nor did I feel as attached to them but I also find it unfair to make that comparison in objective terms.

The original game had a very strong thematic synergy. It’s title alone applied to far more in the story than at first glance and each week the partners had smaller arcs that added to Neku’s own arc. I consider this an ‘lightning in the bottle’ effect on the first games part and do not believe SE has it in them to replicate on demand. (nor anyone)

For example, spoilers btw, the first game is entirely a wager between Shibuya’s Composer (Joshua) and his top reaper (the Conductor) Megumi. The Composer runs a game in any given area, they’re effectively minor gods and can do as they please with their area. The Conductor had no way to win and given Joshua’s love of a game he set the story in place.

The Conductor had a month to convince Joshua that Shibuya was worth keeping, that judging and inspiring humans souls was still worth doing. Joshua handicapped himself to become the twink we know and chose a “proxy” which he found in Neku. Neku was the epitome of what Joshua saw as humanities problem. A fully self-absorbed soul, an ideal player to represent him, thus Joshua shot Neku and made him a player.

The entire TWEWY game is you, Neku, trying to win a game that will end Shibuya unknowingly. Every party involved tries to “expand borders” of the people in the city as it goes. The Conductor tries to make humanity a hivemind, Mr H (the producer) opens Sho Minamimoto’s eyes to taboo noise and Joshua’s identity because he doesn’t want the city to vanish, and Joshua who believes these boundaries can’t be expanded.

What makes that finale so great is that you technically won, the Composer technically won but, over the course of that story Neku changed. His world broadened, he got over himself and reached out, and through this Joshua saw Shibuya’s worst self-centered soul change. What saves Shibuya isn’t a grand battle, what saves the city is Neku changing Joshua. Neku expanded Joshuas world and made him believe that humans could still change.

Power or friendship anime logic didn’t win the day with a big attack, no, what saved the day was the genuine power of connection and change. This, among other things, is what made that finale so beautiful. It’s also these things that made ‘A New Day’ so fucking sour. It was all wasted because they just shot Neku and left us on a cliffhanger because “hey hey come buy a new game that may or may not happen”.

Now to loop it back around to our new cast, that shadow was just too damn large. These kids were handled fine but I didn’t feel as large a growth and it was hard for me to since I was just wondering when shit would really hit the fan and Neku would appear. By not letting the original four player group just have their ending they casted a shadow over the new cast that I couldn’t fully see past.

I know Rindo’s arc was indecisiveness which I would normally identify with greatly but I didn’t. Most of the time, I understood him waiting a bit due to the grave situation which made the bits at the end of him making actual decisions like a leader a bit flat.

Fret…honestly I didn’t care nor hate the kid. Him having lost someone is believable and his moment with Kanon is genuinely sad but I didn’t see much to hint that he wasn’t as happy-go-lucky as he presented until his crush called him out.

Nagi…well she didn’t have an arc but I don’t consider this a bad thing. I actually liked her a great bit over all. She was good for laughs, quips, even battle quotes that confused her team, and her moments of amazing insight. Nagi, like me, observes but is far more discerning in that skill. She didn’t need a deep arc because she has herself figured out. That, to me, is beautiful. Characters that grow are essential but a good support that’s already reached that enlightenment is just as needed.

However, of these four new kids, Shoka by far had the greatest arc that I both saw from early on and enjoyed from start to stop. You can discern very quickly she’s Swallow, you can discern even earlier that she’s trying to help the Twisters and hides behind real intention with snark. She immediately regrets betrayal, sticks to her guns, and doesn’t drag out a story with pointless melodrama. Nothing that she’s written to do is pointless and that is also beautiful.

She is a wellspring of emotion and conflict and it’s nice to see how she bounces off old colleagues and her new team. It’s even humorous to watch people call her out for her actions or tease her by her growing crush on “Mr. Twister”. She even did all this thinking she’d be erased because the Shinjuku reapers don’t let you quit. You either revive or you ride n die as a reaper forever.

Her bond to Rindo is a good portion of why he’s even memorable to me overall. I don’t think they were written to be that way but it’s definitely the reason I have his character stuck in my memory at all. It was a similar dynamic to what Shiki & Neku had in TWEWY but stretched out. Truly beautiful their ending.

Now to loop back a second time to earlier, what do I mean by “making the old cast the new cast” despite all this praise? Simple, I have these positive impressions but that shadow I mentioned still exists. This story works with the new group but it’d also work if the old crew was pulled back into the game. The second Neku was shot I found no good excuse for him to just not be there instead of Rindo.

This point especially hits hard because one of the plot points of this new game is that Shiba hands out reaper pins to pull in living people into the UG. Meaning that:

Neku didn’t even need to die.

The others could’ve joined him in the game since most of the cast were alive. They didn’t die like the first game.

Neku and Shoka were the only players truly dead within the ‘Wicked Twisters’ which just makes me wonder what about the point of it all. It was clearly sequel bait which left a negative taste in my mouth over the years between each game.

If you’re still confused my reader, let me put it this way, the story writes itself in such a way that there’s no reason Neku, Rhyme, Shiki, and Beat can’t be the leads which bothers me for a number of reasons.

While I’m on this tangent, I should note that I do mind the appearance of other old characters. Only a few named Reapers survived the first game but them being there makes total sense. It’s Shibuya, they work there, live in its game. That’s perfectly valid and makes sense logically.

Hell, I even liked seeing Kariya more often. Dudes my fave among the reaper cast even now. I don’t think I would’ve even minded Sho appearing again since he’s revived himself once. It would literally be as simple as removing ‘A New Day’ from the Final Remix and adding an unlockable scene or trailer in it’s place.

Showing us how Coco revived him- wait, that’s right, COCO!

Talk about something that fell flat on its face. Final Remix adds the reaper Coco and ‘A New Day’ has her cause all this sh*t leading to Neku’s death only for her to be…his friend in Ntwewy?

She did things in the Final Remix that you wouldn’t conceive a normal reaper of doing such as dragging a then living Neku and Beat into a fake game or bringing Sho back to life. She was set up to be something bigger or sinister but nothing comes of it.

When Neku died again Joshua admits he sent him to Shinjuku for both selfish reasons and to protect Neku. Yet, it’s Coco that helped him return forming a type of working “friendship” over those 3 years.

When Beat sees her and rages I do as well. What even was the point!? She doesn’t do that much in the main story either. Her entire motivation is stopping Shibuyas fall and saving her Shinjuku friend Tsugumi which just opens more questions.

How did Coco do the shit she did in Final Remix? How can she be friends with a Shinjuku reaper? Can reapers visit other cities? How did she revive Sho Minamimoto? What even makes her think she can control him?

I didn’t expect much nor theorize…well any but I expected more than what I got from her. This further fed my annoyance with what Final Remix did since it now felt wasted. I can’t even rant about “Hype-chan” since she was a support character.

She was sending people visions to avoid Shibuya’s inversion but since her soul spends most of the game trapped in a Mr. Mew doll we don’t get to see much of her. She’s a minor character bordering on mcguffin at one point.

I honestly forgot about her for a long time till the game drops that she’s one of Shiba’s two remaining friends and we need her to talk his dumbass down. I can’t hate nor like her, there was nothing too her other than having a Mr. Mew and being sequel bait like Neku’s death.

Hell, her having a Mew doll isn’t even a hint of much because Shiki now has a fashion brand. Lots of people potentially have one since he’s mascot that anyone can buy.

AND THEN THERE’S THE SHINJUKU REAPERS-

I was left with so many questions but no strong impressions. Shiba, genuinely, feels like a dumbass that got a lot of power. His own friend, Hishima, calls him out on this. Hishima’s snark made him stand out more than the main villain to me despite having not even a fraction of the screen time. I was happy to see someone call him an idiot.

Granted, Shiba isn’t the real final villain (in a sense) but he’s not intimidating nor does he have a cause I care for like Megumi did. I don’t even know how Shiba is a conductor or if he’s one at all. I’m sure an angel like Kubo could easily take out a Composer but did he?

Where’s Shinjuku’s composer and producer? Hell, where was Shibuyas!? …okay that last one isn’t fair. I’m sure those reports will tell me that last question. It just leaves me a bit confused because I don’t get the sense that Shiba even knew what a Composer or Angel even was.

I can only assume Shinjuku’s Producer withdrew since the city was slated for a cleansing. It’s possible the Composer did as well assuming Kubo didn’t remove said individual by force before giving Shiba the power he needed to be a Conductor.

I also do not agree with him getting off for just letting his city die. He had some last minute rebound of correcting mistakes and going back to Shinjuku but it doesn’t feel earned when this dumbass didn’t care about being manipulated so long as he could continue his game and watch Shibuya go up in smoke.

His personal entertainment overrode common sense which makes any ending he got feel cheap or any criticism Hishima gave him earned. He was truly a fool and a cheater. (I didn’t even get into what he did to Ayano)

As for the others…eh?

Ayano was tragic but that added to Shoka’s story not her own.

Susukichi was just annoying then had some last minute “I was good in my own way” twist they attempted to drop.

The only new reaper I found myself liking was Kaie. Unique design, just enough quirk and screen time to stand out, a good addition overall.

Then there was Kubo who’s not technically a reaper. He was clearly more than he seemed early on and I can’t think of anything overly bad or positive about him. He was simply a higher being doing his job.

I was actually more impressed with the ending than him as a person. Me and @blackosprey were joking about his “the power of friendship” usually ends escalated threats but I was pleasantly surprised that NTWEWY didn’t take that route.

Kubo was removed from the board by his own boss. He was only meant to cleanse one city and I get the impression the reapers left were meant to start over but that didn’t happen. Kubo’s manipulation took Shiba and the reapers to Shibuya to erase it as well. He was “overachieving” and just pulled out.

I loved that. It may feel weak to others but I like the idea that the higher plane and its angels are beyond even anime logic to beat. They’re something else entirely and rightfully remain so. Both games drop enough hints to tell us why something is happening but wisely keep the Higher Plane vague.

In my mind we shouldn’t know their inner workings. That’s not the point of these games, it’s exploring oneself and how expanding that requires others, it’s about humanity, it’s characters. This did apply to Rindo in that ending, the Higher Plane corrected Kubo’s mistake but they would only do so once otherwise they too would be “overstepping bounds”.

So Rindo has to choose to leave it as is or go back at a risk. Kubo is gone but his scheme, the noise he made, they will be there. The way each character helps in that ending is also well done despite how I feel about some of the cast being there.

The power of friendship and human bonds do save the day but it’s not some typical god-slaying ending. They use the power of people to neutralize the power of people. (a positive to cancel a negative.)

In a sense, as a character, Kubo is whatever but the way he leads to this ending is fine I think.

While I’m talking about the ending I minds well highlight other story beats I did enjoy. I’ve already said all I can about individual characters in-depth.

Aside Shoka & Rindo’s ending, I felt way more for the second ending Neku and his friends got. Neku and Shiki finally meeting felt like a punch in the heart.

Then there’s fucking Joshua. The twink just appearing out of thin air at the 9th hour was the most meta thing I’ve seen in this series. It was like they couldn’t think of a reason to put him in normally so they just had him appear at the end.

But because Joshua is how he is it doesn’t feel forced since it is fully within his personality to just drop in and joke about inviting himself because it’s interesting. That is something he’d fully do and so I had to laugh for a moment.

The final exchange between him and Neku was also nice even if his little “prank” on Shoka made me curse. I didn’t think he did something too bad but it was clearly like a cat teasing a toy.

As for Beat, I did like that he’s not changed. He’s definitely matured and it shines a lot in the story but he’s also the same in other ways. I didn’t like him being there but I appreciated that he never regressed.

I also feel bad for that stupid f*ck that was hitting on Rhyme at the end. They’ll never find that guys body. *tips hat*

A few other things the story did which I enjoyed in a broader sense were time travel and lack of melodrama. No conflict felt like a cheap sub plot nor was it drug out and the way time travel was used was welcome.

Time travel is usually a very bad thing to add since writers use it when they are stuck. In my own experience, the only time time-travel works is when the story is written from the ground up with it in mind. Something like Ocarina of Time or a show like Doctor Who, this story was written in such a fashion.

It’s made clear (and hinted early on) that time travel is a big bad. Every time you use it the remnants of thought and soul from the erased timeline becomes noise in the new one. Rindo effectively multiples negativity in the world every time he time travels because those lost souls and thoughts have nowhere to go.

That’s why the ending of using the casts various powers to get the city connected as one worked. Their positivity was used to counter the negativity created from a “them” that no longer exists in reality.

On a side note, I also appreciate that the cast knows Rindo can do this. I hate when stories make up weak excuses to keep something useful a secret. It just frustrates written characters and audience alike.

Then lastly is good ol Sho Minamimoto. You may think I left him for last for a big rant but I actually forgot and had to edit this back in, HA! No seriously, I forgot due to how underutilized he was in the story. He was effectively revived for no real reason other than sequel bait. He’s on your team for one week for…reasons. His entire existence serves no real purpose nor is his goal changed.

He was a wasted revival and that saddens me. He’s revived once, he’s all about taboo knowledge and noise, I could tolerate his revival due to this but they squandered him seems like. Sure, he helped at the end but only in a limited way.

Hey, guess what, we’re finally on the Gameplay section of this. (wooo!!!)

I should preface that you wont see as deep a look here as the story stuff above due to how subjective gameplay impressions are. Regardless of what others say online, gameplay rarely has objective issues. The same goes for this since I can sum up some of my gripes rather quickly such as the camera.

I know fully within my brain that this is a minor thing. I know the camera is the way it is due to how the game is mapped and the 3D nature of that map. I know these things yet I have to list it as an issue I had because I had no control of a camera. Navigating the streets and finding things were constantly a small annoyance for me even after I got used to the game.

The battle map is fine since it’s an arena but good lord I got annoyed so many times while trying to navigate and I have not one possible fix to that. I’m no pc or coding genius, I don’t even think you can change the camera in the game as is and make it work.

I also got very annoyed at Pin management at one point. It took too long to get a second set option but I don’t think I can list that as objective either. I don’t even remember if the original DS game gave you second set at the start. I unlocked more in time but I was f*ck’n livid at times prior to that.

Post Edit Derek here; I am replaying the original on the DS and the game did indeed give me a second set, four in fact. Four pin sets starting at four open pin slots.

So on that note I don’t know why Neo TWEWY couldn’t have gave me two from the get go. I certainly didn’t need three due to the lack of a PP experience grinder or Tin Pin Slammer nor did I like having to unlock the second set. Oh well.

I also had an issue with the team concept. At first it was fine but by the end I had six people on screen at once and it was too much for me to keep track of. And this is saying a lot since I play first game on its original DS format in which you have to control both screens at once.

Needless to say, I adjusted to it as I did the above example with time but I did not like it. I felt like I got hit at times by something I couldn’t see due to all the noise, pin attacks, and six cast sharing an HP bar. At the end of the day I wish they capped that team count at four.

I also greatly disliked the Pin button layout. I got confused by that more than once and wasted pins more than once due to this. I hate how the pins change what button they’re on, I hate that I have six to keep track of, and I spent the whole game wishing the pins remained mapped to specific buttons.

In particular, I think the better idea would’ve been to have players set to buttons and through them their pins. Like Rindo would be tied to X, Fret Y, Nagi A, Beat B, Shoka L, and Neku R. The pins would still vary every time I switched up gear but at least I wouldn’t have to keep remembering new buttons.

Of course, if we went with my earlier idea and limited the team to four people it’d be even better since each face button could be a character while dodge is dedicated to L or R. Something simpler would’ve been far more appreciated.

On the positive side, I liked how each person used their powers in this game on the overworld maps. I also loved how this changed was noted IN-GAME by Sho when he started to rant about how pins are dedicated to a person’s imagination. In this new game those rules don’t apply due to Shiba running it like a Shinjuku game. Any player can use a pin now.

Prior in TWEWY a pin or psych was dependent on imagination and personality. Neku being a creative powerhouse is why he can use any pin he wants while Shiki or Beat only have one type of attack. In NTWEWY, any pin is viable but the new reaper/player pin may draw out unique psychs.

Rindo’s time travel or Shoka’s telewarp are such skills. Used exclusively for story and explorative reasons but I love this in-game nod and explanation.

Something else I loved as a series fan from 2007 was the nods. I noticed several things instantly which made the city nostalgic at times despite the camera getting me lost. I even solved a mission on day 5 of week 2 thanks to Joshua’s silly ass trivia of the Shibuya river from “Another Day” on the first game.

Then there’s the music, it’s hard to find a song of any TWEWY you don’t like if you even can. I’m deaf to the finer things of music (not truly deaf just don’t notice things like others) but this series is one in which my brain will pay attention in earnest.

I love that Shiki has a clothing brand, I love that Shoka loves this brand. Good pay off.

I also liked tracking down optional people to save. The friendship board thing is neither here nor there to me but I appreciate the optional content and the minor things it offered. I wish we had seen more living cast from the first game though.

The city truly felt alive in the first game thanks to the missions giving many reapers or citizens in the RG a unique look or problem. This game kind of fell flat on that front.

Let’s see…what else…hmmm….oh yes. The menu is annoying but I don’t think that’s a game problem. My dumbass brain just keeps mixing up the LR with their Z counterparts so I go to menus I don’t intend too.

And lastly, light affinity pins are god-tier. They heal you with the chip damage they inflict. You get four or five of those on the team and you’re a f*cking monster. I still died at times but I rarely needed a true support pin. I also found it funny a pin themed to light has a skill named “Hp vampire”.

Post Editor Derek here, I forgot to add the hours of laughter Kubo’s name gave me due to me watching Bleach in my teenage years. It’s not even gameplay related, just a bonus~

Also, the 300% sync pin attack was called the “friendship nuke” by Osprey and I’ll never forget it.

To wrap this up, I got annoyed with gameplay, I haven’t did all the extra yet so I may come back to this, I’m not sure how replayable I’ll find this game, and I truly believe Neku and gang shouldn’t have been there.

Final Remix left a mar on this game that will never go away. I’ll always think about the issues I listed when I play it and this saddens me. The game is very loved and I think it deserves that but I personally cannot see past this point.

Either follow through with Neku or (preferably) leave Neku and his friends alone to give your full attention to Rindo and his friends. The villains were kinda weak and the didn’t feel that climatic for most of it.

I hope the gameplay is more enjoyable once I complete the friendship board and I hope you enjoyed reading this, bye~

A New Update

I spent the two weeks since this post doing as much post game as I could. True to form I did find the game more fun to play as I unlocked the Social Network board but I ultimately still had a pet peeve about the pin-button layout.

I spent so much time fighting with that trying to make a deck I’d use for serious battles and I just never could get the right layout despite swapping out some people with Sho.

That said, some of that pain was self inflected because I took joy in pairing pins and players. Like having Neku & Beat or Shoka & Rindo- I essentially tried to pair them in three sets of two. It worked at times but others it did not.

Other things I noticed were the sheer spike in difficulty on Another Day. I spent every chapter post game on hard mode and made it two level 91 but I was suddenly getting destroyed. I toned it down to Normal but had a bit of trouble here and there despite that.

I wouldn’t necessarily call this a “con” or negative but it just hit me like whiplash. I was so used to be the OP badass by that point. lol The only fight I encountered that became a hard nope for me was the super boss. I’m not a man that enjoys frustration, I do not feel joy or pride in overcoming something that gets me incredibly furious.

So when I ran into this boss that was the first sign I was likely never going to finish the extras. The sudden defense of the pig noise on Another Day started to add to that annoyance but I managed to get by those in time.

I ultimately forwent getting everything. As much as I praised things like the Social Media Board before I quickly came to annoyance trying to rack up points in those timed dive battles. The one with Rhyme just broke my interest in completing it.

I feel that some have too quick a time penalty, I was on bronze during Rhymes before I even reached 15 minutes. I’ve never liked timed activities so I just came to dislike something I found novel fun in prior.

I also came to dislike the Shibuya Scramble days. They became tedious very fast and I am not sure I’d want to redo one for a long time. I didn’t even complete the one demanding 600k, that was just ridiculous, no thank you.

My post game also reminded me of something that annoyed me even in the first game. Threads!

On their own they are fine but those days where you have to wear something specific to get by a reaper can be an annoyance for me. I usually have my team set by then and having to undo that just to clear a barrier was a pain in 07 and it is now.

I dont know why those can’t be a clear once objective.....I also dont know why I couldn’t get a fast travel but at that point I’m just whining to whine I think.

As a whole, gameplay wise, I had a few pet peeves but I do felt the game was good. I can’t consider it grand because of ‘A New Day’ or for story reasons I’ll list shortly but I can see how people would love and endear to this like I did the original back in the day.

I’d even go as far as to say this is way more impressive than I would expect given they took a game split on two screens in 2D sprites into a 3D style that doesn’t hurt your eyes or worry your brain with uncanny valley.

If they ever remade the original game or made a third one I’d like to see this continued and refined. This post may seem overtly negative to you readers but I did enjoy this game enough to nearly complete it and play it 3+ weeks straight.

It just did some story stuff I was baffled by which I’ll go over now.

One or the Other

As mentioned, getting so many reports (I had to look up report 10 & 24) I did have some of my questions answered. I learned that Neku was sent to Shinjuku to keep him out of the clutches of the Executor.

Neku, despite not being the lead this round, is probably the most powerful player there and it was clear the reapers were trying to find him which was clearly Kubos manipulation.

Now, what they’d do with Neku I have no idea. I just know that Neku is powerful enough to scan the entirety of Shibuya all at once, one shot rampaging Sho, and survive in a null space for three years. 

He doesn’t have specific powers like Fret or Nagi nor anything as broken as time travel but among the team he’s easily the most powerful all all-rounder.

The reports also explained how Coco revived Sho Minamimoto which was simpler than I expected. In the first game Sho had used a taboo noise sigil taught to him by the fallen angel Mr. Hanekoma.

Granted, Sho’s sigil had flaws which Mr. H fixed but what Coco did in A New Day was copy that sigil to bring Sho back for the second time. Mr. H speculates in the reports that this may be why Sho’s a bit different than before.

You can copy the sigil but your use of it depends on the user so Coco likely did something slightly wrong or something different intentionally...I guess this means Sho is more of a noise now than anything as well....wow. 0-0

That said, I do feel this all lead to nothing. I still dont know how Coco did the sh*t she did in A New Day barring this revival. 

There’s a lot of “what if this” I could do but at this point I see no reason too. I do still feel that this title should’ve focused entirely on it’s new cast or followed through on the set up with Neku’s death in A New Day but that’s moot now.

At this point I have to agree with @blackosprey and say that some shift happened somewhere. Whatever plans they had for this was ultimately dropped and we got Neo: TWEWY in it’s current form.

A form that is not bad in the slightest mind you. I have issues here and there but my biggest problem is what ‘A New Day’ did. I could not enjoy this as much as others and that’s a stain that will always remain for me regarding this sequel.

I love the series, I love the world, I want to see more but I dont want to see more of that cheap sequel baiting A New Day did. (especially if they’re going to drop it)

So here’s hoping we get more entries down the line. Perhaps in new cities and new cast. In a world so focused on people growing I’d love to see what can be done.

I double dipped on this game so next time dont be lazy on the advertising Square. It’s not our fault if your laziness doesn’t meet your ridiculous sale expectations. I promise you, if you make more it will sell.

Till the next game players~

P.S. I forgot to mention that my questions about Joshua were answered too. He was playing a game with the Executor thus his lack of prescence. If you notice, he didn’t even aid Neku, he just popped into give some literal moral support.

Haddotin, Kiliel?

THANK YOU!!

Haddotin

Ship It - you bet your sweet ass I do!

What made you ship it? I saw fanart. Probably @littledozerdraws ' fanart, and I thought hmmmm. Older, gruff absolute mess of a sea captain, in love with a boy-faced, world adventuring journalist? Age difference, size difference, mess in a sweater loves bamf super-twink? SIGN ME UP. Then I saw the 2011 film and adored it. Then I read a couple of phenomenal fics, and then I was totally hooked.

What are your favorite things about the ship? - God I love how sweet it is. It's my comfort ship. They are best buddies, and they love each other so much! They're so supportive of each other, fond of each other, and so in love with their lives together. They are like a soft, fluffy blanket that I can wrap around me when I'm feeling blue.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? - I don't think I have one. Anti's are all about Tintin being underage. I don't see him as underage, and his gun shooting, plane flying, motorbike riding, journalist career having, apartment renting, fistfight winning self cannot possibly be a boy and not just a very young looking man.

Tauriel

Ship It - Yes, very much!

What made you ship it? Just watching the Hobbit films. First of all, I adore romances between very different types of people, and I loved loved loved the choice to make the smaller character the male one. I think they're just so cute together, and even though critics complained that their relationship/romance was shoehorned in to fill out the plot, I still ship it like fire. THEY ARE SO CUTE.

What are your favorite things about the ship? - The fact that Kili is head over heels for Tauriel after like moment two of meeting her, and then he is just in full throttle romantic drama mode over her for the rest of the films. But she holds back, and is worried about the political ramifications of being with him. He just beams love up at her, and she has to slowly come around to the fact that she's absolutely in love with him back. I also love that it's canon yet unrequited, which is like catnip to me.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? - I mean, again, all I have is opinions antis wouldn't like. Opinions like, this ship is totally amazing and valid, and Tauriel was a valuable addition to those films, because she kicks ass. The whole kiliel side plot was delicious and angsty and romantic, and I love it. Among Tauriel shippers though... I don't think there's much drama.

You met that guy in your local gym more than a year ago. Danny was a small 5'7 twink who weighed around 150 lbs. Despite you didn’t consider yourself being a very huge guy with your 5‘11 and 190 lbs but compared to him you were a hunk.

You started talking with him and it turned out he was a freshman at your college. You gave him some training advices and helped him with some exercises. You noticed how intimidated he was by your size. You even let him touch your biceps and pecs few times.

In lockerroom as you were changing you started tease him, cause naked he looked even smaller. One thing by another and you became his bully and he loved it. He always went to the gym with you but he couldn’t build any muscles. He was too distracted by your mockery... You liked to wrestle with him and make him worship your muscles...

***

As the pandemy began last year you went to your home town as all classes were moved online and life paused on your campus.

Now after almost a year spent at your parents' house you've lost some muscles and gained a small beer belly from frequent parties with your friends, BBQs and lack of physical activities.

As soon as got back on campus you decided to get yourself back in a form. As you entered the gym you amazed as it was almost empty. There were a few teens training together in one corner and a few sexy girls doing cardio in another.

Then you noticed a hunk guy doing selfies in front of a large mirror near hand weights. He notices you and some weird smirk pops up on his face. He approaches me and grabs me by a shoulder.

- Nice to see you again, dude! How you doin'?

- Hmm, do we know each other?

- Have you forgotten? It’s me, Dan.

What?! That can’t be true! That dude was a small twink. And this one is towering over me, fuck he must be around 6'5..., oh and those bulked muscles...

- Ahh, Dan! Yeah, sure I remember you! You’ve changed since last year...

- Yeah..., as that lockdown stuff had began I decided to buy some weights and organized a home gym. And you seemes very surprised with my progress?

Actually, do you remember how you used to laugh after dominating me in a wrestling matches. What do you think, who will win this time? — he says wrapping his arm around my shoulder and smirking...

[officerjennie]

oh jennie. i have a request. a thot. something to place gently in your lap.

esky husbands.

or whatever ship name you gave them, personally I'm still attached to buff soft rat husbands

ESKY HUSBANDS!!!

or buff soft rat husbands, that works too. I love them your honor.

This thot has plagued me since we were discussing them, so here, it's all of y'all's problem now. Below a cut because it got spicy. Featuring greasy rat twink n!Eskel and soft tummy amused g!Eskel

Not five minutes could pass without the man's eyes being drawn back to linger once more, up and down the full length of Eskel, and it was getting harder to keep the knowing grin from spreading crooked across his lips.

If the looks hadn't given him away, the scent of lust between them did. But Eskel was patient and waited, watching the smaller man shift on the log they shared, Eskel's own movements calm and collected as he sharpened his steel sword while the other fidgeted, impatient.

Eventually, his patience paid off. The other man stood up with a huff of air that sounded like the ghost of a growl, stalking the few feet between them until he was squatting eye level with Eskel, their faces barely a breath away from each other's.

The only things familiar between the two of them were their eyes, scars, and names. Eskel stared back at the hardened gold with a calm he thought the other man must have never felt in his life, watching the twitch of the other's lip move the jagged scars that were mirrors of his own, watching as Eskel - the other Eskel, the one who had fallen into their world - fought with his own desires.

Did he win or lose, the calmer Eskel wondered, as the fitful, younger one set his jaw hard and finally spoke.

"Clothes off," the younger one ordered, and amusement won over and caused a soft grin to pull at the calmer one's lips. But they could both smell his lust as well, and he had no issue following what he was told, letting the other man lead.

When they fell together, Eskel's hand tangled into the messy bun at the top of the other's head, their kiss was more teeth than tongues. The younger man's hands were at his soft body like he was burning to touch him and Eskel let him touch to his heart's content, calm amusement ever on his lips as he road out the storm that was his other self.

i was tagged by both the lovely @dyingstars-x and @harrymegirlfriend to answer twenty questions about myself! this was a lot more candid than i anticipated but here we go~

💗what do you prefer to be called name-wise?

alex!

💗when is your birthday?

july 21st! cancer season baybee

💗where do you live?

in the US! i've been in the pacific northwest for about eight years but i'm definitely still a californian at heart

💗three things you’re doing right now?

1. jobhunting 2. trying to open my online shop 3. attempting™️ to finish deadline stuff and this HSLOT drawing i've been working on since saturday 🤞🤞

💗four fandoms that have piqued your interest right now?

i go through little phases where i have my one big primary interest—one dee since returning to it last summer—that sticks around for awhile and then some smaller, less involved ones that tend to come and go, so i'd say right now the only other 'fandom' i'm kinda in is for MDZ/the untamed/cql, even though i'm a very late member to the party!

💗how is the pandemic treating you?

okay i guess? i'd really like to be moved out already as being in therapy and gaining confidence since my big mental breakdown last fall—accompanied with quitting my job of nearly four years that didn't get me anywhere in life—i've realized how many unhealthy behaviors and mindsets are perpetuated in my household and how they're....really not good for me at all. but i also know i can't get to the place i'd like to be mentally and emotionally without moving out, i also can't move out until i find a 9-5 with bennies with all my health problems + me losing my insurance in the new year so it's been....a time.

buuuut besides the soul crushing terror of being an adult living at home with people who don't understand you, i'm confident now and a lot of my mindsets have changed to healthier ones and i've regained my love of art and being creative?

💗song you can’t stop listening to right now?

it's a combination of 'i wish i never met you' by loote, 'crowd' by sophie cates, and...... 'stay' by the kid laroi + justin bieber (although i think that one's just an earworm i need to work out lmao)

💗recommend a movie

i just got to rewatch 'cowboy bebop: the movie' and it's sooo fun....(spoilers) i know the ending of the anime is supposed to be purposefully open as it just covers a section of time in the characters' lives where they're all together but i kinda wish i'd watched the movie after as opposed to when it takes place because it's a little bit...of a nicer (and much clearer) wrap up!

💗how old are you?

twenty five 🧓

💗school, university, occupation, other?

currently jobhunting for a Boring grown up job just for some regularity and insurance (and $$ to get my ass OUT) but i want to take on freelance commission work again too! i dropped out of uni in like 2018 because the school i was going to kept fucking me over with credits just to get my associate's but maybe i'll go back one day.....maybe.....

💗do you prefer hot or cold?

HOT only because it's so gd cold and wet where i live now and even when the summers are warm they're super short and don't compensate for the months i spend not moving out of arthritis pain and freezing my ass off

💗name one fact others may not know about you.

i always come up with fun ones when i don't have any reason to share them lmao but i guess.....staying on-brand with 1d stuff, and i might've said this before, but louis gave me my first bout of gender envy that i recognized as actual gender envy when i was like, fifteen? and as i was coming out of my obvious emo phase into one more subdued, i totally dressed like twink louis for almost a year....haircut and everything....

if i can find the one photo i'm thinking of i'll post it but until then use your imagination sjkgdf

💗are you shy?

i can be? i think once i vibe with someone enough it becomes easy to talk to and open up to them but before that i can be pretty closed off and a bit impersonal.

💗do you have any preferred pronouns?

they/them!

💗any pet peeves?

i'm one of those 'people talking or random noise being made near me while i'm trying to concentrate on something fuels my murder response out of nowhere' people but otherwise...outside of common courtesy/manners stuff being ignore, i don't think so? although i genuinely hate when people walk right behind me or right in front of me...shit makes me anxious and ticks me off dfjkngdf i got shit to do!!

💗what’s your favourite “dere” type?

am i boring if i say tsundere just because it's relatable? although dorodere is kinda fun in the right setting....i love a good character twist!

💗rate your life 1-10. 1 being really crappy and 10 being the best you could ever be.

i'd say a 5? there's a lot more i want to do and achieve and things i know i could have right now if my ADHD and anxiety didn't still have such a death grip on me but i'm also in the best headspace i've been in in years so i'll take that as a win!

💗what’s your main blog?

this one!

💗list your side blogs and what they’re used for.

swmpwxtch is my art-only blog because i'm slow at finishing things and know there's no point trying to make this an 'art blog' when i reblog so much, and then prickelndauge is my insp blog (so if you're wondering why there's a startling lack of fashion and art on this blog, it's mostly over there!), then i have one for creepy/spooky stuff (bonepickng) because i know not a lot of people want to see that on main, aaaaand am-ref a ref blog for art tips, life things, donation pools, etc.! (and some old urls i have saved)

💗is there anything you think people need to know about you before becoming friends with you?

at the risk of sounding like a YA protagonist: my heart is full of love and i try to be as understanding and open as i can be but i also have a very short bullshit fuse, so while i'm still happily understanding of certain behaviors and mindsets, if you cross the line that i put very bluntly in the sand, you're not crossing back over.

(ie i love my friends but don't be a dick and if you are you get one warning and that's all <3)

uhhh i know a lot of people got tagged already and have done this so! i'll be tagging @grimmpitch @hershelsue @niallnailme @dragmedown @ialwaysknewyouwerepunk @justmehernthemoon @non-binharry @genius0flove @mamaharry @theymetinthetoihlet @saintqueer and uhhh anyone else that would like to!! and if you've done this already please ignore me~
