#but whatever your flavor

[cinamun]

I am literally begging you to get to know songs that are, at the very least, ten years older than you. Feed on them. Sweat them out of your pores. Trust me on this. When I listen to songs from the [redacted]'s, it just feels right.

I just CAN'T stop thinking about

Having your hands tied over your head, and they're tugging at your waist band. Just

so slowly

pulling it down.

Inch, by frustrating inch. And each little shift in fabric is that much more skin exposed. That much closer to the treat they want to devour as much as you want them to devour it.

And there's that one moment. So brief. So long. Where there's nothing left. The next tug is going to be it. Their gaze finds you, and you're holding your breath in anticipation, fingers flexing in whatever binds you love.

There's not going to be anything between you and them and that first

kiss lick nibble

warm huff of air as their breath rolls over your shivering skin.

The sweet sounds pried from your wet lips is such a delectable treat. The perfect thing to whet their already raging appetite.

one of the things i'm most disappointed about is that da:tv will sell well. it's been designed to bring as much new players in as possible, and apparently a lot of people disappointed in it will still buy it on launch day. and ea will keep producing absolute steaming garbage with some ip slapped onto it just because it sells. theyre treating the series with as much respect as netflix originals with their medias.

girl your hanahaki au is absolutely wrecking my shit i--- I don't ever read ongoing fics and this is why. I just cannot wait?!? But the waiting somehow makes it better too?!? I'm literally dead bro I can't I love it so much

hahah omg thank you !! I’m really happy to hear you took a chance on this wip and that you like it so much!

not to get on my soapbox or anything but you have given me a great corner to shout from

as a disclaimer I totally understand why people will choose not to read wips and I truly think you know your mental health and what you can stand to wonder about/think about/obsess over/NEED to know a conclusion for better than anyone else

BUT as a writer who almost exclusively posts in wips, people reading them before they’re finished is my life blood and I am so grateful and it makes the writing process so much more fun for me because I know at least someone else is invested in my brainworm of a story?? someone else is enjoying it and thinking about it and I’m putting a small amount of good into the world??

the best analogy I’ve been able to come up with is like:

when you read a finished fic you’re eating a whole meal and that’s great that’s so amazing (especially if you tell the cook you liked it after you’re done). and you’re literally always welcome to eat that meal whenever you want. finished fics are like standing dinner invitations: I am always happy to have you and I mean that very genuinely

but if you read a wip, you’re keeping me company in the kitchen while I cook. and that’s sort of priceless. in some instances, you can even tell me the food needs more spice and I’ll think about it and listen!!! you’re sitting on my kitchen counter as I bustle around my space and we’re talking about what I’m doing and also how I’m feeling and maybe how you’re feeling and it just feels like community more than anything else I’ve experienced in any fandom. like you’re with me in my space as I’m creating food I hope you like. we’re both invested and it’s amazing

and I think in general that’s why wips are a lot of fun and also maybe why the waiting between chapters is fun for you - you’ve suggested that I add paprika to the pot and you’re waiting and wondering if I will, and I’m laughing and hoping you like the soup either way but also wondering if paprika will work with the recipe, and if I can add a bit to it just for you while staying true to the dish I envisioned at the get go.

I love useless headcanons. I love assigning favorite bands or deciding that they would enjoy a particular brand of shampoo. I love looking at a menu and deciding what they would usually order. I love sprinkling headcanons through fics like glitter you're still vacuuming up weeks after the party. Glimmering and unexpected and a little annoying to people who don't like sparkle. I love useless headcanons.

hey btw stop sending me asks that are just "draw [insert thing here]" it makes me feel like I'm being bossed around rather than presented an idea. I like getting asks as a way to interact with y'all and play with fun concepts that you tell me about and just being told what to do sucks the fun out of it.

Reblog for a rare Enigma Berry!

anyone want some enigma berries via mystery gift or pelipper mail? i got an extra big harvest that i dont wanna go to waste!!!

enigma berries are unique since they taste unique to every person! some people say they taste based on your personality (salty, sweet, ect), or the essence of greatest wish, or your childhood favorite food, or rootbeer strawberries and sadness

OOC:

((Thought it would be fun to offer these to people, the idea is the mun can choose the flavor! It can be anything, random, or maybe symbolic or nostalgic to your character!))

In the wake of TF One, I have finally figured out why I have less interest in MegOp with every new piece of media I consume, and it turns out not to be because of the way Megatron is written like I'd assumed (there are no TF One spoilers here, the movie just triggered the epiphany).

MegOp for a lot of early series (G1, Unicron Trilogy, TFA) was Enemies To Lovers, aka, one of my favorite relationship dynamics. They only knew each other as enemies, but something happened, they had to work together or get Married For Peace, homoerotic undercurrents of being rivals, whatever. Point is, they eventually had to interact for an extended period as not-enemies. And then they fell for each other and boom, relationship. Messy and complicated and very, "I used to hate you, but now that I've gotten to know you, I don't want to hate you anymore."

Modern MegOp is either set before the war, or it's Lovers To Enemies (and sometimes Back To Lovers). One of my least favorite dynamics, because it feels like a romantic dead end. "I have seen the darkness in you and I reject it". "I have seen you at your worst and your best isn't worth it". "I will set myself against you forever because I am opposed to your desires on a fundamental level". It's a good tragedy, but if you've seen both their good and their bad and rejected them, that's... That's it. There's no path forward without a redemption arc (which is a dynamic I have a love-hate relationship with, but we'll get to that).

If you've read much of my work, you probably know I'm a big SkyStar shipper and are very confused by the above. The thing about SkyStar, though, is that I didn't ship it. It was a bit different from the usual Lovers To Enemies dynamic in that Starscream was functionally a stranger to Skyfire after millions of years, but it still had that vibe of "I knew you and reject who you've become". All love lost, no path forward.

I didn't start shipping SkyStar until reading @grayseeker's Under His Wing, which starts off establishing them as... enemies. Because even though Skyfire still misses the Starscream he knew, he doesn't know this Starscream, and he rejected this Starscream (this is in stark contrast to other SkyStar fics I was seeing at the time, where Skyfire pined for Starscream like he was the one who'd been rejected, and would take him back at the drop of a hat. Also, a lot of those fics just kinda gave him "his" Starscream back, instead of asking either of them to figure out how to make things work if they still want to be together. But I digress).

Point is, Skyfire and Starscream became enemies under unusual circumstances, which leaves them a path forward if Skyfire is willing to get to know the new Starscream, and meet him where he is now instead of where he used to be. You can hit some Enemies To Lovers beats with this pairing if you try.

MegOp doesn't have that weird breakup situation. When one of them rejects the other, it's not after an extended separation during which one of them changed dramatically. It's more "I never knew you at all". It's, "I've known you for so long, and as recently as five minutes ago, I never would have thought you'd be capable of this". They hit the wall together, in real time, and have to confront the fact that they know this person who hurt them so deeply. Which, again, it's a great tragedy and a great breakup story, but it ends the romance. There's only one way they can possibly move forward from this, but in the case of MegOp, I do not think it works.

Let's talk about romantic redemption arcs, I guess.

So here's the thing about redemption arcs: I don't like them. Mostly because redemption is always treated as a good vs evil thing, where a reformed villain makes up their bad deeds to the people who used to be their enemies, but they never have to face the things they did to their allies (yes, I am talking about canon Megatron redemptions). The only upside to Defection = Redemption is that it sets the scene for an Enemies To Lovers story, but honestly, it doesn't feel the same. I want "drawn to each other despite their fundamental differences", not a relationship that doesn't even start until one character changes on a fundamental level.

In general, the only time I enjoy romantic redemptions is when it's not about what faction you're a part of, and more about whether you can accept the other person for who they are. SkyStar is one example, but a better one would be MegaStar. MegaStar as I prefer to write it is a relationship where both parties have seen the other's worst traits and did not reject each other - but their worst traits also feed on each other, so they're stuck in a sort of relationship purgatory until one of them either lets go or changes. And if Megatron decides to change (they both have issues to work on, but Megatron has to change, it can't just be Starscream), and he succeeds, that is a redemption arc. And it's a redemption arc I would enjoy, because I'm not asking one character to change their entire personality and moral standing; I'm just asking they choose kindness, not cruelty (yes, there is an entire conversation to be had about morality and abuse, but that's a whole post all on its own, so I'm not going to get into that right now).

Anyway, that's why a MegOp redemption arc wouldn't work for me. They have seen traits they didn't like - maybe not even the worst the other person had to offer - and one rejected the other. Reconciliation requires one or the other to change on a deep, worldview-altering level. And I'm not into that.

Enemies To Lovers says, "I have seen your darkness and will brave it for a chance to bask in your light". Lovers To Enemies says, "I have seen your darkness and am compelled to snuff it out".

Granted, my preferred take on MegOp is "I have seen your darkness and am compelled to snuff it out". But like, less "I will stand against you forever" and more "I will shape you to my liking". But whatever.

I should probably throw an unpopular opinions tag on this thing.

Drabble 193/366 - Doctor Who

She does understand.

She’s lived too long not to. She’s felt Graham’s grief despite her lost wedding ring. She remembers playflirting the way Ryan does when she was a man.

She knows what the look in Yaz’s eyes means when it falls on her.

Too early, too late. She feels like the awkward rut in the road. Trapping Yaz, herself ground down. To escape she’d have to tell the truth, break Yaz’s hope, and offer comfort for her unrepentant hearts’ regeneration: for the love she can’t feel and the friendship she can.

If with anyone. But not her. Not her.

Social skills are acquired by exposure, repetition, and rehearsal. I lack the social skill of, like, dealing with anyone who is not positively disposed toward me, or at least going through the motions of common courtesy. If someone is rude to me without evident cause/provocation my brain is immediately like "they are going to shoot me with a gun," which is patently insane, except for the fact that it happens not infrequently in these United States. Earlier today I called the governor's office and the staffer cut me off mid-sentence with an almost audible eye roll and whenever people are assholes to me for no reason I revert to the rationale of a toddler, like, I don't understand it and I don't know how to respond lol

it's my own fucking fault but one day I hope I can teach my roommate the difference between "you can have some of this thing I made/bought myself" and "eat half of this thing in 3 days"

What do the ads for McPreggo's look like? As much as I would like it to be gravid women seductively eating cheeseburgers, I don't think that would fly on daytime tv.

YOU SAY THAT but Carls Jr was KNOWN for their ads featuring supermodels eating burgers in what was a "sex sells" approach so blatant they did a follow up ad campaign about how they were ending that last campaign, because it was so infamous. And they just.. aired that on broad fucking daylight like it was nothing so like... McPreggo would likely get away with it if they wanted to.

TBH I'm not sure what McPreggo ads would entail because it has such a niche target demographic that like... honestly if you just showed us that the food WORKED, that'd probably get the attention of the people who would want that...

The big brain play is to run ads that feature lots of pregnant women super prominently not because it'll inform people on the product, but because it'll end up in youtube "pregnant tv ad compilation" videos that nervous/early pregnancy kinksters would peruse sometimes... thus reaching the core demographic.

lime would grab that girls thighs

he would....no warning, just mochi talking and then *grab*

and then say either "If you didn't want them grabbed then you shouldn't have stood within grab-able reach." or "Its mochi harassment hour."
