#catching up on asks

[dykedvonte]

omg hi if it wouldn't be a bother i'd love if you could expand on your perspective on curly's character representing how patriarchy, rape culture, etc, negatively effect men?

I think Curly is there to represent the idealic person for the scenerior but in a lot of wrong place wrong time and a sort of deconstruction.

Curly’s enabling is never just the “He wouldn’t do that, he’s my friend, I know him.” type. Yes, he is not nearly as concerned as he should be with Jimmy’s behavior but he’s not completely blind to how he can be and is aware that Jimmy is just a guy who had it rough. He clearly is very keen on keeping Jimmy calm for the trip, very accommodating to all of them in a way that he honestly should be but can be used to explain away favoritism. If everyone can get away with a little something than it can then be extended to Jimmy. A big problem of Curly’s is he extends to much curtesy to everyone which a lot of people ignore to just focus on Jimmy and his relationship.

In specifics of rape culture, he’s the sad truth of people don’t immediately cut off the abuser. There is a lot of this in irl cases that can range from the inability to open the selfish not wanting to but here it’s because his relationship with the abuser is also not healthy/abusive, falling into the former with how confined they are despite how it can be seen as bros protecting bros due to how underplayed emotionally unhealthy relationships between men can be. His relationship with Jimmy is not just one of wanting to protect him from himself but keeping him docile, safe to bring around others. There is a tension in almost all of their private scenes where Curly is trying hard to make sure his words are understood and don’t set him off. It’s subtle but real and an aspect of RC that gets overlooked when it’s comes to men coming forward themselves or on behalf of others. The way they can’t directly oppose each other because their safety may be the least of their concerns. They know men and in this case he knows this man won’t target him but the others, especially Anya, case point: not wanting her to tell Jimmy alone.

There is an inherent intimidation that can also happen in male spaces we see Jimmy use due to the specific social condemnation effect he has with Curly. Even if he is a bad friend to Curly, he is a dear friend and a lot of apprehension with men on the side of Curly in RC comes from that social anxiety, that fear and the very real idea you or the person you were trying to help will be further retaliated against/isolated just like we see happen to an extreme in canon. We don’t know how much Curly and Jimmy interacted between the party and the crash. We can assume they didn’t at all or perhaps went on as normal, but we know something changed after the conversation with Anya both at night and in the cockpit.

I think the card being in the locker shows he was gonna make the complaint, taking her ID to get her numbers for the report as it isn’t there before hand. With the recent reblog of how complaints have to be filed, he was likely storing it, possibly it was close to a time he could send something if it was even possible. Though everything was inevitably too late.

Curly is the ideal man on paper in terms of a patriarchal system. In shape, handsome, the top of the pecking order, competent or otherwise on top of his perineal duties. The issue is he is deeply unhappy just as someone like Jimmy who reflects all the negatives. This should be what he wants but he’s realized it’s unfulfilling, boring and he’s given up too much of himself to get up a ladder he doesn’t even remember why he climbed in the first place. He is not keen on keeping that status, I am a contrarian in thinking he honestly didn’t care if the report when on his record, more so he was in shock it happened at all. Didn’t want to believe his friend actually did it and he of all people would have to be the one to turn him in for it. It’s selfish and it’s a personal thought but it’s real. It’s denial because even if you know it’s for justices sake, you grieve the friendship you had and the perceptions that were shattered. It’s not supposed to sound good or noble or kind because it isn’t, it’s human.

All together I think Curly represents a big way these systems negatively affect the men that everyone assume benefits. He’s unhappy with the power he has because it ties him to responsibilities that bring him no fulfillment, he also gets retaliated against by Jimmy because he was never immune and in a way was aware of it. He’s unequipped and nervous to handle such a delicate situation because it isn’t protocol, there’s no protocol. He followed the rules of all the concepts mentioned, trying to do the right and normal thing and it either left him with nothing to show for it or damned him and others in the end.

This is a shorter post than I would write but I just feel like I’ve tackled these aspects so much individually or in lumped together posts that unless it’s something specific I will just create run on tangents.

Sharing this image that pop in my head.

Gible getting mad at Ace for being mean to Ash and used a weak Draco meteor to hit him. After event of book 1, Ace is now the main target for this attack just like pinplup was. Riddle can now give the option of Draco meteor or being collared to him and honestly he hates both options.

your horsegirl au melts my heart.

That's it that's the ask. Sending love :)

THANKS YUR FANTASTIC

[id-rather-be-home]

will byler ever be experimenting with sex toys in wwtwacs? 👀

(p.s. i love your writing and hope you're doing well!! take as much time as you need with updates 🫶)

oh absolutely they'll be experimenting with sex toys! the first time that they use them is actually going to be coming up fairly soon in the story, and toys will make frequent appearances afterwards.

if there's anything specific that you (or anyone else) wants to be used, and how/on who, please feel free to let me know! i do love hearing what y'all might wanna see cuz it gives me even more ideas on what to implement (:

and thank you so much nonny!! <3 i'm really really hoping that an update will be out by the end of this month (it's pride month after all, it'd be a shame if i didn't post anything lmao) and that they'll go back to being semi-consistent afterwards.

Do you think this gda 2020 moment was fs? It just feels so pure and intimate 🥹

Hi anon!

Very late on this, sorry!

So I would classify this under "Let's show them who we are". It's private and not for show, but they are also very aware of people watching them. I think they're making a statement here.

And omg look at how they melt together 🥰

Personally I think some asks here need to chill out a bit. Just a smidge.

All we know is there's eventually going to be a second iteration of the project. Hopefully one with all that should/needs to be fixed, fully and thoroughly fixed. There's nothing wrong with them doing something again. We know nothing about what "2" is gonna be.

Some of these asks are bad faithing or just having a bad attitude way too soon and need to stop expecting the worst rather than hoping for the best. Anyone upset about "2" right now is working themselves up for nothing. We have a number, that's it. Not a premise, not a timeline, nothing. They need to calm down. There's no sense in being angry over hypotheticals.

Especially when, despite what seemed like good progress with some eggs returning, ccs explicitly stating they wouldn't be playing on the server again if things weren't fixed, etc, the server still ended anyway. In my eyes, that's a sign they're acknowledging they can't fully correct what needs to be mended and redeemed without pulling the plug first. As far as we know, the only bad thing about the new studio so far is how shitty some admin spoke to Cherry (I don't mean to sound blasé there, to clarify. I was angry for her and I care about her treatment deeply). This to me is suggesting they're shutting down to REALLY scrub the studio clean and restart anew. The new staff were personally vetted this time and I feel like people forget that a lot. Or choose to bad faith about it instead, which just helps no one.

Some asks here need to think more positively. Or just admit they need to step away from qsmp entirely and not engage with any future content. I know that sounds a bit easier said than done, but I mean it. Don't participate in something if all it does is piss you off or hurt you. :/

Personally I think a good sign that things are truly being improved would be that people wouldn’t have to rely on interpreting possible signs to imagine that maybe if you squint things are changing

Also a lot of people who are critical also happen to be people who deeply loved the qsmp and are sad or angered to see it end the way it did, but are also angered at the exploitation that went on and has not, to this day, been properly addressed or fixed.

« Just » the Cherry thing is not a one time oopsie, it showed that despite the team having been allegedly restructured, they still repeated the same pattern of actions.

Obviously with QSMP having announced that there would be a follow up, people are being doubtful that it will happen without the same problems that plagued it the first time.

Issues don’t disappear because you look away from them 🤷‍♀️

I can’t decide which one of them it is, (I think Danny or josh) but I love the idea of them being infatuated with watching themself penetrate you. Like laying between your legs and just eyes never leaving their fingers as they slide in and out, their lips parting and eyebrows furrowing when you squirm from their touch. Or them loving to watch the way their cock slides in and out of you, and just fucking you so slow, tilting their head to the side and biting their lip as they admire the way you wrap around them.

imagine the look on their face if they placed their hand on your stomach while slowly pumping into you and registered the feeling of them moving inside you for the first time-

top five words <3

I am an easy mark on top five words:

Fuck.

Shit.

that inarticulate noise of annoyance at a minor issue

Whhhhhhhy.

Cunt.

[wigglesdtuff]

love your art style SOOOOO much it just brings me sm joy to look at ❤️❤️❤️

Wough thank you so much!!!

[tinknevertalks]

🍎🍏🍋 for the fruit ask:))

Lol, I see that lemon there. XD

🍎 Is there anything you straight-up won’t write? - Rape, beastiality, incest… Uh, yeah, think that's about it. Basically anything that gives me feels ranging from ick to breaking down in tears does not get written.

🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation? - In smutty fics, Helen/Nikola (and a few other pairings) tend to have wall sex. XD

🍋 What’s your favourite spicier trope to write? - Following on from the last question, is wall sex a trope? Uhm… Established D/s relationship stuff? … Or vampire feeding whilst having sex. ✌️

Since I got out of the loop a bit the last days: Tell me the latest things your favorite character went through in your WIP

I have also been out of the loop! Thanks for the ask!

At the moment, Reeve is trying to talk someone out of a seemingly fatal plan even though Reeve would absolutely do it himself.

Oh imagine this Buck doing a bridal carry to Chris then Bobby doing it to Buck and passing him to Eddie Buck and Chris squealing and laughing

It would be adorable! Actually, in the last chapter of I once was lost, I was originally planning to have the ice skating scene be a little longer and it would have had Eddie helping Christopher more and then Buck wanting to do the same and then twisting his ankle or something or other and Bobby insisting on carrying him off the ice (almost like a callback to the bit in Ch7 where the Grant-Nashes are playing around in the garden).

And then it would have flashed forward slightly to Bobby lying sheepishly in bed while Athena passes over a heatpack with a very judgementally knowing look, asking "was it really worth it?!" And Bobby would say "of course it was" 🥰🥰

But then it didn't quite fit that way with how that final chapter ended up being structured, so we got the slightly smaller ice skating snippet instead.

Okay hear me out, this just pop in my head wile reading other pokemon x twst stuff.

Wile hanging with the first years, most likely Ace would ask Ash and her rotom what would be a good starter for them and maybe even for others. He'd most likely asked this later on or if some random wild appears.

If Vil hears Ash say feebas, poplio or any Pokémon that requires work to evolve in to a beautiful Pokemon, he'll be offended at first till get some explanation on how much work it takes to get to the final evo is why they got that pick.

Malleus with a gligar cause gliscor dose reminds me personally of a gargoyle.

Ever watched a cartoon and go "What happened?"

And I'm excluding Steven Universe because no, but I'm talking about Star Vs The Forces of Evil where they committed magical genocide and force two dimensions together and now Earth is an extremely nightmarish hellscape.

Listen, I was pissed off with Winx Club after season 4. Little me was upset😭😭😭

Also, what is with genocide being glossed over in magic stories??

I do magic tricks! Big surprise there

I draw! Have not posted my art on here because… many reasons, but for one thing I doubt anyone wants to see that XD

The only music artist/band whose work I follow consistently is AJR, in general I don’t listen to “artists”, I just listen to music and if it happens to be by an artist I already knew of, that’s just a neat thing

Yeah, this is how dumb some of these people are

Tae was like 'we had a business arrangement' and JK was like 'it was actually all pleasure'

And these morons still consider it a 'win' that JK 'corrected' him 😂 You have to laugh at them, you really do.

Everytime JK has 'debunked' anything Tae has said it either makes them seem closer and highlights the fact that they're spending time together outside of work or it's to clapback at bullshit doing the rounds on Twitter (like how JK only addressed Tae recording at his place AFTER his solos started hollering that he should get writing and directing credits on Layover)

He's not correcting Taehyung. He's correcting his loser solos and alt shippers.

Hi anon!

This is a late response, sorry!

Wanted to post, because yes!
