must know your thoughts on van’s whole devotion thing with lottie!! saw your other post and needed to hear more

PARKINGLOT!!!!

van and lottie’s relationship means the absolute world to me, i love writing about them.

and van’s acolyteship in general

firstly, van is the first true acolyte we see on this show. she sees something in lottie, before anybody else does. even in the first few episodes, we see her looking up to lottie, listening to what she says. van has always had a sort of emotional connection to lottie that their being stranded in the wilderness allowed to grow and become something absolutely devotional. an acolyte by definition is a server, companion, or follower to a specific person or religious figure. although some people might say laura lee, mari, or even misty were that acolyte to lottie, it’s always been van in my head. she was the first real BELIEVER of the surviving group. as far as we know, none of the surviving girls truly believed in the wilderness religion the way that van did. she’s able to sense something in lottie and connect to that, and that is what ultimately starts her descent into whatever madness she falls into in the wilderness.

to me, this relationship isn’t technically one-sided, although i think that van is on the heavier end of it. i mean, it’s the classic devotion and their devotee. we see this theme in van a lot, whether it’s in her relationship with tai, or her commitment to the good of the group. if you’ll allow me to go off on a bit of a tangent about van for a second- her birthday is july 11th (from some light googling i did), making her a cancer (LIKE ME). bottom line of the cancer zodiac is home, family, community, protection of their loved ones, which is very van and i always think of that when thinking of her relationships with other people. it’s easy for a cancer to slip into that type of devotional, one-sided dependency on other people, and i think that’s something we’re seeing with van and lottie. 

my focus when thinking or writing about this particular pairing is usually van, because there is more for me to dive into there, but let’s talk about lottie’s end for a second. first thing that comes to mind is lottie just being purely grateful for van. not grateful for the fact that van puts her on some kind of pedestal, but grateful for the fact that van believes in her. in lottie, as a person. that she cares about her, and actually hears her out instead of brushing her off like some of the others. when i say that, i mean earlier episodes of season one, like that scene where lottie gives van the deer bone and instead of calling her crazy, she takes it and she uses it. she takes lottie’s dreams into account, she believes in lottie. lottie has lived her whole life with a mental illness nobody wanted to deal with, especially her parents. not wanting to deal with her schizophrenia became just plainly not wanting to deal with her. but out here in the wilderness, van sees her, and she listens. unlike shauna, or tai, or nat, when lottie talks about the spirits of the woods and her belief in nature, van absorbs it. she takes it completely to heart. lottie can see that, and she likes the feeling of being not only seen, but understood. don’t take this to mean that i think lottie likes becoming a sort of religious figurehead to the girls- that isn’t what i’m getting at. i just mean that she is happy to have somebody understand, and for somebody to actually be interested in her ideas and not shove them aside like a problem to be solved.

quick laura lee sidebar on this note, because i can already smell the “laura lee was lottie’s first believer!” replies- not that it isn’t true in some aspects, of course, just wanted to clear up why i said it was van and not her. the way i see it, laura lee is like thee agent of god. she looks up to him, she exudes him, she looks for him everywhere and in everything. i think laura lee falls back on her faith a little with lottie in a bit of a refusal to think that lottie really just might be crazy. or maybe that thought never even crosses her mind. either way, what laura lee truly believes in is god. lottie is a vessel for him, and although she believes that lottie has having visions, those visions are sent by god. her beliefs never changed, just the outlet for them. she didn’t believe the visions were purely lottie, she believed they were a gift from higher power. i don’t really know if any of what i just said made sense, but thats my two cents on the laura lee acolyte situation. i’m also a huge lottielee truther so please nobody come at me, i love them both and i love laura lee in general. 

another quick thing before i wrap up- something i love about the lottievan relationship is that van doesn’t pressure lottie like the other girls do. she doesn’t pit lottie against nat during the lottie vs nat hunting scenes, she doesn’t twist lottie’s words or make up straight lies about her like misty does, she doesn’t use her as anything other than a person she believes in. granted, van does put her up on a pedestal like the other girls who follow her do, and she does things in her name, but she does this because of lottie’s direct influence, not gossip among the girls or propaganda, for lack of a better term. lotties influence on van in general is the cause of so many little subplots and undertones in this show. she chooses to pick cards because she can’t let lottie die. she would rather anyone else, including herself, die before her, and i think that really goes to show you the effect lottie had on van. 

anyways, here’s this for anyone who wanted to read it, and thank you so much for the ask anon!! so obsessed with these two and will definitely post more about them soon 💋

@cassioo i know you were asking about this too so i thought i’d tag!!

Undeniable - Swisstom Fic

A sequel to my last fic, though you don’t have to read that one to get the gist

Summary: Swiss’ rut is driving him crazy, while Phantom has his for the first time and doesn’t know how to act either

Content (18+): Heats/ruts, blowjob, facefucking, anal sex, breeding kink, top!Phantom, bottom!Swiss

Word count: ~1.8k

[Read on AO3]

It takes Swiss three large steps to get from Aurora’s door to Phantom’s. He settles for the space since he doesn’t even have the patience to walk down the hall to his own room.

As soon as Phantom walks inside, the multi ghoul slams the door shut behind them.

“Do you think Aurora has a new perfume? She’s never smelled so good-“ Before Phantom can ramble on, Swiss has him pushed against the wall, arms caging him in.

The larger ghoul clenches his fist around nothing repeatedly, trying to not mindlessly follow his instincts for just a moment, “We’re gonna- No. Shit. I wanna fuck you. Need it so bad. Please, say yes. Just say yes.” On his own turn rambling, Swiss is out of breath and panting the entire time, knocking his head into the wall above Phantom as he awaits consent. The half second it takes to get a response seems eternal.

“Yeah sure!” Phantom’s own rut seems to not have fully hit yet, his reaction sounding like his usual cheery self.

It’s all the same to Swiss, who instantly crashes his mouth onto the other’s, forcing his tongue into the Phantom’s mouth and nipping at his lip.

The smaller ghoul gasps through his nose in response, trying to take a good breath, when he for the first time becomes aware that Aurora isn’t the only one who smells way better than usual.

Something changes in him at that moment. No longer does he feel like simply going along with what Swiss wants. He has his own needs now.

Subconsciously he moves his hips up to grind against the multi ghoul, who throws his head back and full on roars at the electric current this sends through his body.

Phantom takes this as a sign to do it again, to which Swiss responds by stepping up even closer, erasing any semblance of distance between them. Swiss’s thigh slots in between his bandmate’s legs, while mindlessly humping away at his side.

Both their breaths are ragged, though where Swiss grunts and groans, Phantom whines. He would’ve begged had he been able to find the words.

“Oh, baby ghoul,” Swiss moves to continue making out, a gesture that is instantly reciprocated. Their tongues move against each other much like their hips do.

Phantom has had sex topside a few times before, but never like this. Every nerve ending in his body is on fire, screaming for more. He’s also still acutely aware of how nice Swiss smells, the scent comforting yet also driving him wild. Every other time he’s been with someone like this has been oh so careful, as if he would fall apart otherwise. But not Swiss, not right now.

It has clearly reached a point where he needs more. He grabs Phantom by his collar, turns around and shoves him onto his own bed.

The quintessence ghoul, meanwhile, is becoming all the more aware of how restricting his pants are, trying and failing to undo the button holding it in place with his shaky hands.

Swiss isn’t as patient, stepping up to him in two strides and simply ripping the pants right off of him. He kneels before his friend, nuzzling his face into his boxers.

“Still good, ballerina?” He looks him in the eyes and licks his dick through his underwear.

Phantom’s hips buck involuntarily, both at the sensation and the nickname he likes so much, “Please, yes. Need you.” He whines.

Swiss doesn’t need to be told twice, “Gonna take such good care of you, bug. So good for me.” He inhales the other ghoul’s scent as he pulls his boxers down.

Phantom’s dick is already at full attention. Impressive by human standards, but nothing Swiss couldn’t handle.

He wastes no further time, drunk of Phantom’s scent and the sight of precum already leaking out of him.

He licks from his balls up to the tip, wrapping his lips around it and prodding the slit with his tongue. Phantom keens, once again bucking his hips.

Swiss would normally take more time, tease more, talk more, but right now he truly cannot be bothered. He wordlessly presses Phantom’s hips down into the mattress and takes full control.

He effortlessly swallows down the entire length and starts a quick, unrelenting pace of bobbing his head up and down.

The quintessence ghoul nearly rips his bedsheets apart with his tight hold. They actually do end up ruined when Swiss hollows his cheeks.

Phantom feels like he’s losing his mind. It’s so, so good, yet somehow not enough. His instincts seem to take over for a moment when he doesn’t think twice about grabbing Swiss by his hair and attempting to thrust up into his mouth. Swiss allows him to do so, letting go of his hips, fully entranced by this new more dominant side to his usually people pleaser bandmate.

The wet slurps and occasional slight gagging sounds, as well as Phantom’s unrelenting pants and whines, echo off the walls to create a beautifully obscene song for just them. And everyone else on their floor, if not the entire ministry.

It’s not a surprise when after not too long Phantom simply can't stand it anymore. He looks down and his eyes meet Swiss’, “Swiss… Ah, ah, please. So clo-“ He doesn’t even attempt to keep his volume down when he cums, allowing himself to only focus on the pure sensation. He forces Swiss’ head all the way down on his length, holding him there for the remainder of his climax. He’s never come so hard in this life.

Swiss himself also moans when Phantom cums down his throat, dutifully swallowing it all while continuing the most thorough bobbing motion the smaller ghoul’s grip will allow, just a little longer to draw it all out.

Eventually said grip fails, Phantom’s hands falling to his sides as he tries his hardest to catch his breath.

He whimpers in overstimulation when Swiss comes up but keeps lapping at his cockhead.

“Such a good boy.” He growls.

Phantom sits up in a hurry, putting his hands on Swiss’ face and pulling him in for yet another passionate kiss. His energy levels have recovered in record time, a nice side effect to a heat he isn’t used to.

He laps at the inside of Swiss’ cheeks, wondering if he’ll be able to swallow down any leftovers from his own release.

He gasps when Swiss moves his hand to his dick once again, finding it already completely filled out for the second time that night.

“What do you want, little bat?” Swiss asks, never stopping his hand’s stroking movement.

Phantom bites his lip, hips bucking up to try and speed up his friend’s rhythm.

“I can’t help you if I don’t know what you want.” Swiss teases, his pace slowing down to a near halt.

“Fuuuuuuuck,” Phantom whines, his head thrown forward against Swiss’ shoulder and eyes shut tightly, “Wanna… wanna fuck a kit into you.”

It’s Swiss’ turn to whine at that. But he doesn’t just whine, oh no. His vision goes white for a moment and he seemingly forgets how to breathe. To his own amazement, he managed to come untouched by just the words.

Without another thought, still in the haze of his own orgasm, he rips his now stained pants and boxers off of his body and moves up on the bed. There he lies, face down and ass up, reaching back to spread his cheeks and present himself even further.

“Do it then,” He says in a frenzy, “Fuck a baby into me.”

Phantom, of course, doesn’t hesitate. He spits into his hand to slick himself up a little more, earning an impatient noise from the multi ghoul. He grabs his dick, releasing a small gasp at just that simple touch. He soon relents, forcing himself into Swiss without prep, lucky that the heat helps with that.

The two moan out in unison, bodies still on fire and brains begging for more.

The younger ghoul has to find how to position himself for a moment, having never topped before. Once his legs are steady and he holds a good grip on Swiss’ hips, however, there is no stopping him.

His hips move at a speed only an energetic youngster like himself could achieve. He drills into Swiss like his life depends on it, and honestly to the ghoul who isn’t used to a topside heat it does indeed feel like that.

“Harder, bug. Please.” Normally Swiss revels in having his partners beg for him, but god fucking damn does it feel good to fulfill that role himself for once.

Phantom immediately obeys his request, ploughing into him even harder, although it comes at the cost of his rhythm.

He whimpers, “Need- need it. Need- Swiss- Fuck.” His brain is complete mush, merely chasing sensation.

“Then take what you need, pup.” All of Swiss’ muscles clench in anticipation for his inevitable second orgasm. Phantom loses it when he feels the added pressure around his dick.

“Thank you, thank you, thank…” His whispers trail off.

“That’s it. Cum in me, baby. Fill me up.” Swiss rambles not much less deliriously, his hand eagerly stroking his cock in time with Phantom's thrusts.

“Yes! Yes, I’ll give you all. Please, please, please let me knock you up-“ The small ghoul nearly chokes on his spit at his final few thrusts, releasing a purely animalistic sound as his hips stir with his climax.

The first thing Phantom becomes aware of when he comes to again is the heat against his back where Swiss is wrapped around him from behind.

The multi ghoul draws lazy circles on his stomach, though the serenity of the moment is somewhat shattered by his still hard cock poking against Phantom’s ass.

“Swissy..?” He mutters, still half out of it.

“It’s alright, bug. I’ve got you. You can rest.” Swiss’ voice sounds deeper than usual, tired yet so, so sexy.

It seems Phantom isn’t the only one who needed a moment to recover post orgasm.

Still, now that Phantom is awake he wants more. He simply can’t help himself but to grind back against Swiss, who, in turn, immediately stops him with a hand on his hip.

“Are you sure about that, bug? You shouldn’t start what you can’t finish.” He warns.

The quintessence ghoul turns around in Swiss’ arms to face him. He feels like he’s never seen anything or anyone so beautiful before in his whole life. Swiss seems to bask in the afterglow of their coupling, eyes slightly tired and a lazy smile on his lips.

Phantom doesn’t say anything, only moves to give his bandmate a soft kiss on the lips. Swiss reciprocates carefully, not wanting to push things further than his friend would be able to handle.

But all of that once again goes out the window when Phantom rolls him flat onto his back and straddles his hips.

“I’m not done with you yet.” He smiles the happiest smile Swiss has ever seen anyone wear.

How could he possibly deny him?

I don't want to overstep with your story, but if you're still free for character suggestions, something that's been going through my head is one of Kyukis human friends bringing a new friend of theirs along to a meet-up and Kyuki immediatly recognizes said new friend as a banshee, I assume considering fea are bigger travelers in your lore they'd be familiar with what they get up to

It's tense because the banshee just keeps sticking around and it's not like he could ever confront them about it because the human friend is still there, but having a harbinger of death lurking around your friend doesn't make you feel particulary secure

Less serious, I don't know if Kyuki is a jealous person, but do you think there'd be a slight undercurrent of "Hands off, that was my friend first" to it as well?

I absolutely encourage other people to make characters or propose myths they want to see because I highly doubt I’ll ever make this into a proper story.

I still need to answer Tavi’s ask about the fae, but considering how widespread and intelligent fae tend to be, I think they’d spread all over the world.

I feel like fae and trickster demons like Kitsune would generally be wary of each other since they kind of operate on the same wavelength. Buuut if they’re a friend of Kyuki they give him food and that’s a good reason to stick around.

Really both Banshees and Kitsune can be seen as good and bad omens. Banshees have been known to sing out of love, kind of existing to make sure their families are safe.

There would be a lot of indecision until Kyuki could figure out their deal.

I do think Kyuki’s response would vary depending on how close they are with the person. They would only really show possessiveness if they’re really close to someone.

i don’t think you guys understand. if you have ghosts with a cellist ghoul was for ME. one of my two ghoul ocs is a cellist and having them only play the forum shows, as an acoustic, fits seamlessly into the plotline i had laid out for them 😭😭😭

#amvs#it's true though?#skillet#thousand foot krutch#relient k#trading yesterday#back in the day lots of Christian bands were like hey we love god and some of our songs are about him#but also some of our songs are just about the human experience#also we know some of our audience wont be allowed to listen to us unless we explicitly say we're Christian#so here's to the kids with overbearing parents#and not gonna lie#their music was awesome

christian rock bands are a backbone genre in the amv scene

[meyhew]

the finality of it all is so gutting. we won't ever have a one direction reunion, regardless of how many publications use it as a tasteless clickbait headline. there is no reunion to be had without liam. my friend recently said one direction is, technically, a three person band now and it was such a gut punch. to me, 1d always has been and always will be five boys. i can't picture 3 people on a stage performing songs that were meant for 5. they can't ever come back as a trio because it will do more harm than good. it was never supposed to be like this

[3600frames]

this may have something to do with how the fan TL is only presented as only text, but "Secrets of Front Roe" article seems to just be viewed over here as well, an article. while for many in the JP fanbase it's recognized as something more specific...

[The rookie (band)* that everyone's talking about! The true identities of Front Roe are crazy! Is showing their faces in media a no-go? And what is the past band member up to now? We investigated everything!]

(*cut off but very likely to be this)

... a matome blog. these matome (summary) blogs started as an effort to compile discussions on 2ch (but can also branch out to other social media) for easier reading, but with ad monetization there became financial incentive to exaggerate/make up details to drive clicks (x). so yes, JP clickbait(ha). speaking of ads...

now, certain things could be a "prevailing theory" for a reason, but it is interesting that the devs chose to present the information in this very specific format.

to further this whole point, the whole article ends with a いかがでしたか？(ikagadeshitaka?) → "What did you think?". which is a phrase that these kinds of blogs are infamous for closing off with, to the point that they've also been referred to as "ikagadeshita blogs". and yes it can work as a squid/ika pun here.

New pjsk group leaked real not clickbait ⁉️⁉️⁉️

Lol but fr hello i finally finished all 4 chibi sprites. Here s more of them

I wanna make intro posts for them soon, but i think i ll do that when i finish their sekai fits fullbody drawings. For now here s some basic info bout em under the cut:

Group of outcasts and troublemakers somehow end up in eachothers lives and start making music together, to convey the feelings they can't vocalise.

Mayumi - He's an aloof boy that doesn't listen to anyone and is difficult to converse with due to his weird, roundabout way of conversing with people, if he replies to you at all. He loves fashion and music, spends a lot of time trying out different instruments but he has an electric guitar at home that he plays often. Oh and he usually wears his hair behind his ears and no band aid, but he has a lot of piercings and doesn't wanna get in trouble at school, because it'd be a nuisance.

Ayase - Ray of sunshine that won't stop can't stop- but despite being so friendly and easy to get along with, he doesn't seem to have many friends. He always gets in trouble for breaking the unform code.

Haru - Transfer student with infinite confidence that doesn't back down from a fight. He's chill for the most part, as he doesn't really speak, ever- but if you try to fuck with him you will regret it. Got expelled from his previous school for various things like skipping class very often, breaking uniform code, fighting students and teachers, and generally being a menace.

Yuuta - World's largest chiuwawa. Is scared of everything and everyone, and has a stutter. He doesn't actually attend school irl, his anxiety turning him into a shut in- but in his free time he loves going around town and doing grafitti. He makes double triple sure nobody will see him though, because if he gets caught he will probably combust and die. Grafitti is the only thing that's worth the anxiety to him though.

Their whole story as a group is finding reasons to keep trying- as all of them have given up, in one way or another.

[liquidcrystalsky]

im tired of being a hater but the grind never stops. but to be warned, this one feels too far even for me

honestly since the nintendo music app has dropped, now i have all my normal music next to all the splatoon music and i just realized that none of this is like what i normally listen to at all, and its just not?? that good???

like, the thing is these songs arent meant to be listened to on their own, they're a soundtrack and are meant to mostly be played in really intense games and are intended to not be distracting, but i dont know if im just like excusing it to myself?

okay i cant be all negative so here's some of the bands that i actually Do genuinely like, not as splatoon bands but as Actual Music That I Enjoy

C-Side. This one honestly suprised me i didnt think too much of them but i realized they're honestly really good it goes hard and i enjoy it

ω-3. I mean ive mentioned they were already my favourite band (tied with Free Association). The only thing i'd say is that they're missing the sort of low end on a few songs, but half the splatoon 2 songs and all the new ones are pretty bassy and thats good. I cannot resist a good cello as well.

Deep Cut. I feel like sometimes they can be a bit much but i do think having a huge variety of instruments and synths is really good. im very bad at describing music but its high energy and it's good. i can tell Big Man carries because i love Liquid Sunshine and i did not like Suffer No Fools. sorry

One thing im realizing about Splatoon is that all the music is so fast. like. Liquid Sunshine like i just mentioned is 177 bpm. Now Or Never is 208. Clickbait is 180. god forbid literally anything be under 120 bpm.

It's obviously done for a reason its all playef during matches, higher bpms work better with all the action and it allows a lot more things to feel like they happen on the beat of the song, and it ends up feeling better inside of the game. but outside of the game. it's all so fast... slow down...
