scandalous.

he knew his thoughts were everything but pure.

scandalous.

he knew his thoughts should only pertain to his own husband and the life they’d built together.

scandalous

but… he couldn’t. he couldn’t keep his eyes from the widow. couldn’t keep his thoughts from wandering; forming indecent images and scenarios.

his thighs pressed inwards at the situations created by his imagination. each one a different position, different pose; exploring each other’s bodies, igniting new passion into one another.

“haa— hah! [n—name]…!” he’d moan into your chest, dragging his fingers down your back in such a crude, indecent manner.

you’d groan into his neck, inhaling the fresh scent of his shower, the fruity scent still lingering from the perfume he spent seventy dollars on. just for you.

you’d press yourself deeper into him, embedding your tip into his womb. “ahh!” a high-pitched yelp. he would put his hand on your v-line, trying to stop your movements.

you’d only go harder, dismissing his mindless mumbles of “ngh!! t—too… too de—ep! s—sl—slow d..d—down!!”

he would know.

you would know.

his husband would know.

everyone would know.

that he wanted it. just how you gave it to him; slow, deep, mind-breaking stokes that left him breathless at every thrust.

“you wanted this, right? watched me from your widow. rubbing yourself to my form, hoping I’d come and sweep you away from your husband.”

he’d choke on his words, clawing at you for any sort of support. his eyes would roll backwards, an orgasm rippling between the two of you, staining your chests in a sticky white substance.

“Gi—“

you’d move your fingers to his chest, lifting his legs to his shoulders in the process. your fingers would slid along his abs, soaking up his spewed semen and bringing it to his—

“Giyuu”

—mouth, forcing him to taste his own—

“Giyuu!”

—seed. he’d moan around your fingers, the salty taste of himself pushing him over—

“GIYUU!!”

Giyuu pulled back from the sink, dropping the cup he held in his hand, shattering it.

his husband stood across the short kitchen distance with a briefcase in hand. he adjusted his tie, tugging on the fabric to adhere to his neck.

“Giyuu, where was your mind? I’ve been calling your name for five minutes.” the man chuckled

Giyuu smiled, glancing back to the window before snapping his vision back to his husband. “J…just thinking of our anniversary.”

his husband hummed, closing the buttons of his suit. “anniversary?” he chuckled, burning a hole into Giyuu’s chest. “our anniversary was two months ago.”

Giyuu glanced at the calendar on his refrigerator, looking at the heart over today’s date.

His husband followed the look, panic rushing through his body. “Uh—uhm I mean, I, I was thinking of your birthday..!”

‘my birthday was two days ago.’ he thought

Giyuu looked back to the window, no longer seeing the picture of his fantasies. ‘where’d [name] go?’

his husband came behind him, palming his ass and resting his chin on Giyuu’s shoulder, disregarding his obvious discomfort. “are you mad at me?” his husband moaned into his ear, harshly rubbing his front against Giyuu’s back.

Giyuu remained silent, earning a harsh thrust “oh, I’m sorry Giyuu, I’ve just been so busy. but, I promise, when I get back, we’ll celebrate all you want.”

“Get back? where are you going?” Giyuu asked softly, not surprised by his husband’s actions.

“I have a business meeting with Rengoku. It’ll last a week. I’m sorry!”

Giyuu nodded, moving away from the man to pick up a banana from the table. “Well, you better go now, I forgive you.”

his husband smiled, placing a quick peck on his forehead. “I swear, I’ll make it up to you when I get back.”

Giyuu nodded, undoing his apron to take a shower.

“oh! I called [name] over to fix the sink, he should be over later.”

Giyuu stopped his movements, feeling heat rush to his face. “ok, love you.”

as fast as his husband had entered the kitchen, he was gone, leaving with only a distracted “mhm.”

Giyuu continued to his room, removing the rest of his clothing to begin his showering process. he pulled a basket from under his sink labeled ‘[name]’ and continued on his way, reliving his fantasy from earlier.

he felt a smile etch its way onto his face, burning into his features

“I’ll see [name] soon…

Can you imagine the monkey King's wife being exactly like chi chi from dragon ball 😂.

A monkey version of her

They are very scared of her, and she's the only person the monkey King is intimidated by.

I blame the Lego monkie kid voice actor 😅

OH MY GOD!!! THAT IS BOTH AMAZING AND TERRIFYING I LOVE IT!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩

That's the weapon you have Below👇👇👇

(Lmk Wukong) Ohhhhhhhhhh he pisses you off every second of everything day, and it's scares him hell even Macaque is scared of you. It's bad enough that he tends to be irresponsible and Take everything even more difficult with his poor communication skills. Then if it were to cause problems for poor Mk, then that's where you draw the line, and with every life threatening event that is centered around your husband and son. Well both Mk and Wukong Would be actively running from you by the end of it🤣

(MKR Wukong) Man he would take the monk's anger over your anger any time That's how scared he is of you. You know his sh*tty attitude and personality and his habit of having bouts of violence but you. Oh no he would do whatever it takes to stay away from that territory of upsetting you, but if it happens anyway he would get his act together immediately. The pilgrims always gets baffled by his submission and Fruity would say that mama is scary.

(HIB Wukong) Well now at least he knows the Do's and don't's parts of your marriage, considering the results and Consequences. But unfortunately he has to come back home to you after 500 years and he'll have to make up an explanation for his absence. Even worse when you told him time and time again not to go and attack heaven On the count of that is not the best idea to handle the war. Wukong had stupidly disregarded your words and now he has to come home to you, he was right to be worried because you tore him a new one because he Deliberately Disregarded your objections as your environment shook and crack from your yells. the only reason you stop was because he came home with a little boy and baby girl.

(NR Wukong) Li and Su had dumbfounded looks on both of their faces. In the living room was Wukong cowering behind the couch as a female monkey also with a metal mask was screaming profanities at him. The was the day they met you Y/n L/N Wukong his wife, but boi were you quite Intimidating to them. Thankfully they quickly learn how sweet and kind you actually are and the two even fell in love with your godly cooking. You quickly explained that Wukong had fail to tell you that Nezha was recarnated as you stuff Li with food because That's where you always did 3000 years ago.

(Netflix Wukong) Man you used were so little, quiet and cute🥰 when you a cub now your tall, loud, and scary😨 and married to him. You are the more responsible and grounded of the marriage but his reckless behavior makes you both worried and angry. You usually wack him with stick because of his condescending attitude and he should know not to talk to you like that. Then the last straw was when he got to his head in his kaiju form and Lin had to get you and well.....you can imagine how shocking it is to see a giant male monkey to wimper as a tiny female monkey yells at him.🤭🤭🤭

(BMW Wukong) GOLLY!!! you were always the wrong one to mess with 😰. For him pissing off heaven will always be less terrifying than pissing you off😬. Especially when your as powerful as he is, and would have that large club bat you dubbed as Excaliborg That you would occasionally beat his ass with. Unlike Erlang whom he's more then happy to taunt and mess with he knows better then to do the same to you unless he wants to be an must be classified smeer on the ground😬🥶.

(Destined one) He wouldn't get on your nerves in the slightest, mainly because that's a terrible idea but he's a sweet mildly Obedient man to you. You get worried about him alot because he's so selectively mute, so you made sure to engage him in conversations. The one thing you do love is how much he loves your cooking 🍳 and you are more then happy to make large batches for him to eat. He's a good Quiet husband to you and that's good enough for you.

FEEL FREE TO REBLOG😈🍳

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Show Stopping.

This is the concluding story to the corresponding blog event, It’s Raining Crows and Dogs! I took inspo from Cruella (2021) while writing this piece.

Please note, I was not able to respond to all interaction requests, as many were sent after the submission period, disregarded rules, or simply did not catch my interest 💦 Apologies!

By My Hand.

Drinks dulled the senses, distracting from the din of the charity ball. Alcohol was forbidden on campus—but the sugar and the carbonation was enough to be ride that high, to loosen from the binds of stiff suits, glittering gowns, and falsified formalities.

The orchestra’s song swayed and sloshed like liquid in her ears. The golden lights refracting off chandelier crystals, kaleidoscopic.

Was it the juice or the tiredness messing with her senses?

Knocking back her glass, Raven let the fizzy, fruity concoction tumble down her throat. Bright citrus washed away her worries, the bubbles tickling her nose as it went down. She set the glass, now empty, down and called out to the anxious mob student manning the bar.

“Another, please.”

“… D-Don’t you think you’ve had enough, Raven-san?” Octa A asked. “That’s your seventh drink.”

She stared at him with blank, lifeless eyes.

Octa A immediately set to preparing the eighth. Club soda, fruit syrup, crushed mint leaves, and cubed ice.

“Long night?” he wondered out loud, attempting at conversation.

“Yes.” Raven groaned, nursing her aching head with one hand. “I was up for all of yesterday assisting Crewel-sensei with the final touches on his ensemble for this evening. Didn’t get a lick of sleep.”

“Oh. I-I’m sorry to hear that…” Octa A muttered. He topped off the fresh drink with a twisted lime wedge and then slid it to her. “Did your efforts at least pay off?”

She accepted the beverage with a tired yet grateful smile. “I have no clue. He has yet to arrive.”

Even though he demanded that I be here to witness ‘the fruits of my labor’…

“I’m sure he’ll show up soon.”

Raven cast a glance at her phone. 11:59 pm. Late—far too late.

“I highly doubt—”

BAM!!

The instant the clock struck midnight, the doors to the venue swung open, as if on cue. In strutted two Dalmatians, each fitted in a diamond encrusted collar. Trailing them was a figure in a white cloak with a long train, hood pulled over their face.

Heads turned. Onlookers gasped.

“Who is that?”

Raven stilled.

They produced a wand from a billowing sleeve and waved it in an arc. There was a dog collar looped around the end of the wand, a square magical gem on it.

Fire sprouted at the end of the mysterious guest’s train. It formed a coil, snaking up their body and engulfing the white. The exterior fell away into crumbling ashes and cinders, revealing what was underneath: a handsome face in a black and white eye mask, his suit a sinisterly shimmering crimson.

Divus Crewel, fashionably late.

Raven exchanged looks with Octa A.

The venue bursted into sound like a balloon popped. People rushed at him, flocking like birds, swarming like bees.

“Sir! What a grand entrance! How did you do it?”

“What a show stopping performance.”

“I thought my heart was about to beat out of my chest!!”

“Where did you get this outfit? I would like to own one for myself. Oh, you must pass me along the name of the brand.”

Crewel, right at home among his throng of admirers, chuckled. “I appreciate the compliments, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to find a replica of this look in any store or boutique. This ensemble is an original designed by yours truly.”

“Oh my!” A woman clutched at the string of pearls around her neck. “Would you be willing to do an original for me then?”

“Now, now! I had every intention of asking him first!” a mustachioed man protested.

“Unfortunately, I’ll have to turn down those requests,” Crewel interjected smoothly. “I am presently focused on my role as an educator. Your presence here at this event helps Night Raven College and its efforts to better the future and the local community.”

A murmur of agreement passed through the crowd.

“And another thing,” he continued, “I’m afraid I cannot take all the credit for my outfit. I may be responsible for the design, but the color of the dye was made in collaboration with a student.” Crewel searched the room and found Raven, letting his gaze linger on hers. She felt her mouth drying up. “This is the direction of the future.”

He flashed a dazzling smile. His handsomeness, a cutlass slashing through their defenses. Raven felt the entire room melt in response to Crewel.

“If you wish to support us and Night Raven College’s endeavors, we you may donate tonight. All proceeds will be going to an animal shelter on Sage’s Island.”

Several voices cried out simultaneously.

“I-I’ll donate! Of course I will!”

“Honey, we’ve got to support this cause.”

“You heard the man.”

“Night Raven College is such an exemplary learning institution!”

“Wow, Crewel-sensei strolled in and commanded the entire event,” Octa A mused. “Raven-san, the work you were doing yesterday… now it’s being seen by all of these people.”

“Well,” she said warily, absentmindedly swirling her half empty glass, “as long as he’s happy and NRC gets that money, I guess it’s fine.”

“That shade of red is nice,” Octa A commented. He was already assembling the ninth drink. “It suits Crewel-sensei very well.”

“I should hope so!” she huffed. “It took a lot of workshopping and several samples to find a shade that pleased him.“

“What did you name this one? Since you tend to label your homemade inks.”

“Ah, I call this one…”

Cruel Devil.

- angel crowley is so young and innocent my poor boy he's been through so much

- like now im watching it, it feels like putting it in a cinema was a Bad Choice and maybe that's why I didn't like it??? it feels way more authentic and cosy on tv

- im sorry but crowley sounds like such an old man in the park scene, "frozen peas... it's good for them too🙂"

- seriously this is so much more palatable on tv format i can't get over it

- OH MAGGIE I LOVE YOU

- okay im sorry but the dialogue is still a little off for me I won't lie💀

- beelzebub's accent is just 😘👌 perfect, but equally feel like they'd be perfect in a production of oliver

- god believe me i feel for nina but... I... do not like her, and they are NOT suited for each other at all

- I LEARNT MY PASSION IN THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED SCHOOL OF LOVER BOYS

- that dance is so low effort I'm sorry it should have been the macarena or cha cha slide

- ok no I'm sorry but the mukbang scene is so unnecessary and uncomfortable

- "whack the kids" honestly the best line of this scene imo, but upon reflection and rewatching it, crowley's demeanour is rather heartbreaking whilst he's reclined getting ratted

- 'but just to be able to ask the question' UGH CROWLEY STOP

- lmao shoemaking and obstetrics what a combo god bless

[lizzie-queenofmeigas]

My Opinions Of TVDU In 2024

(They really haven't changed all that much but I feel like sharing)

–I loveeee Delena. Yep, I love this ship with all my heart and I'm not afraid to say it.

–I loveee Damon, probably another problematic opinion but I don't care.

–I don't like Caroline. There, I said it. She is just the kind of person that would irritate the shit out of me. Honestly, until season 8 I couldn't handle her scenes.

–Bonenzo is the best. Loveee it. They deserved better and I personally want to stab Julie Plec for how they ended.

–Bonnie deserved better. This is an universal truth.

–I hate Tyler, but I recognise that he was right to hate Klaus and right to be mad at Caroline for sleeping with him. Revenge on Klaus was kind of dumb, but understandable. He was right to want him dead.

–Klaus is my beloved, always going to be and I'm not even sorry.

–Marcel is a Mikaelson!!! Marcel is Klaus's son and his treatment is another reason for me to feel murderous to the writers of the shows.

–I don't like Kol. Yeah, he was right in many things, but he came across as somehow self-righteous and believed himself better than his family. Like bro, you aren't.

–Finn deserved better. I honestly still wonder if Finn knew about Klaus's real father, 'cause if he did Klaus would have a valid reason to hate him. I am saying this because in The Originals season 2 episode 3 we have flashbacks of young Klaus and the necklace Esther gave him. If I remember correctly Finn was always in the background and even retrieved the necklace when Klaus lost it. Given that Finn remembered Freya and what happened to her, it wouldn't be far fetched to think he knew who Klaus's real father was and hid it as well. That being said, he is a victim of his parents as well and deserved better.

–I hate Elijah. He just gives me the wrong vibes.

–Marcel and Rebekah made sense and I ship it. The Mikaelson family is insane with their romantic relationships, so they just sort of clicked.

–Kol should have taken the cure instead of Rebekah. Bekah could just adopt, but what is going to happen with Kol when Davina dies? Nothing good. Plus, he loved being a witch.

–Hayley and Klaus and Klaus and Cami made way more sense than Haylijah and Klaroline. Honestly and throuple with Klaus and the two women who call him out on his shit the most would have been chef kiss. Hope deserved two moms.

–Every Klaus ship made more sense than Caroline. Bonnie? Bennett witch and he likes witches. Aurora? First female vampire (other than Bex) and met him when he wasn't as he is now. Elena? Has Tatia's face, and I think if Klaus just tried to befriend her and explain why he needed to break his curse she would've helped. Camille? Her mind, she clocked him the moment they met, not to mention the O'Connell legacy. Genevieve? Powerful Witch. Hayley? Baby mama, werewolf princess and hybrid, not to mention they are similar. Stefan? The ripper days gave off fruity vibes. Damon? I love their scenes together, they have a similar vibe to them. Rebekah? He is literally killing her boyfriends left and right. Elijah? The codependency is strong here, Elijah's girlfriends have a higher mortality rate than Rebekah's boyfriends. Katherine? Tatia's face, also they are similar. Greta? Their few interactions in season 2 pointed to a thing going on.

–Elena is overhated. Baby has the biggest survivor's guilt in the universe and still she soldiers on. I hate when people said she was less compassionate as a vampire, I honestly thought she was the same. Like, she controls her hunger to become a doctor. She is too good for this world.

–Enzo should have been introduced sooner, Bonnie and him should have gotten together sooner.

–They should have explored Damon's trauma with Augustine more, and the fact that he always disregards his emotions.

–Klaus wolf side should have been explored!!!

–Unpopular opinion, but not everything Katherine did was necessary for her to survive. She could have easily contented herself with one Salvatore brother, but she had to go after both.

–Davina and Klaus needed more scenes together. I mean, that's her adoptive grandpa!

–Lily was awful, Damon was in his rights to not forgive her.

–I liked Valerie, and I liked her with Stefan.

–They should have explained more about Klaus ability to have children, 'cause that was weird. I loved it, but weird.

–Alaric should have died and the twins should have been raised by someone else.

–Matt lived too long.

–Jeremy and Damon were kind of funny.

–Bamon was really great.

–They should have addressed the fact that growing up Damon was the only one there for Stefan. We saw that in the flashbacks but they should have said it more.

–Damon purpose in life was to live for those he loved. My take on him.

–Damon was pretty humanity-full vampire until after Augustine when he turned off his humanity. But, five years of torture in the hands of humans would do that to a guy.

–The witches opinion on vampires were ridiculous. This species has been around for over a millennium, they are pretty assimilated in the magic ecosystem. I think their extinction would actually do more damage than their existence.

–Mikael and Esther deserved more pain.

–I think Dahlia only tried to negotiate with Klaus not only because he was Hope's father but because he was the only one who wasn't Mikael's son.

–Vampire/Supernatural politics are actually so interesting.

–Lexi was too hyped. And I don't get what she had against Damon in the forties.

–Legacies doesn't exist.

That's all. For now.

Can someone tell my brain to sleep? Please? Undercut like always obv

@fruity-legos

Summary:

Cooper’s touch starved … that’s it, that’s the post

Additional Tags:

Brain woke up and chose violence. I Wrote This Instead of Sleeping BECAUSE BRAIN WOKE ME UP, Anyways. Mateo forgets to be physically affectionate sometimes. Touch Starved Cooper. Ficlet. headcanons. Fluff and Hurt/Comfort. The besties just cuz. no beta we die like my brain

Mateo had to admit he sometimes forgot to be physically affectionate with people. He figured that it was partially tied to his general spaciness with how he could get so tied up with his comics and the stories in his head that typical, needed everyday things like eating or, yeah, showing physical affection went right out the window. Another part of his forgetfulness was probably because between Izzie and his dad they gave him more than enough physical affection to go around. 

So yeah, it slipped his mind sometimes and he occasionally had to remind himself to give affection yet he couldn’t help but feel confusion wash over him as he wrapped his arms around Cooper and felt the other teen tense under his touch. He wasn’t that bad at showing affection, was he? 

Mateo awkwardly pulled back and looked up at Cooper. He found the blond with his eyes shut tight and shrugging his shoulders up like he was bracing himself to be hit. 

“Are you ok?” Mateo asked carefully, tilting his head to the side. 

Cooper slowly opened his eyes and glanced around before his eyes landed on Mateo for moment. Just as quickly though Cooper’s gaze flicked away. 

“Yep, I’m doing great!” Cooper responded, while flexing his fingers on one hand and using his thumb to crack the fingers on the other. Mateo knew his friend well enough to note that that was one of his nervous stims, that along with singing. 

Mateo watched his friend crack his fingers for a moment more before, fixated on why Cooper was starting to act so shifty. He was avoiding something, something relating to their hug if Mateo had to guess. 

The small inkling of a theory started to pop up in Mateo’s head and deciding to test it he reached out a hand to grab Cooper’s wrist. 

There was a squeak but Cooper let his wrist be held, and then his hand as Mateo laced their fingers together. 

“Cooper,” Mateo started, locking eyes with the other, “when was the last time you were hugged?” 

Cooper instantly looked away and for a second Mateo felt himself wondering if he had crossed some sort of boundary. 

With a hum Cooper fiddled with their interlocked fingers, rubbing his thumb across Mateo’s kuckles and then muttered, “Uhhh, I think five days ago? It was when Albert used me as a meatshield to get out of hugging Izzie,”

Mateo choked in disbelief, “What?” 

Cooper shrugged, “Meh, it’s fine. I mean Logan used me as an armrest the other day, oh and Night Hunter body slammed me too.” 

Cooper did know that last one didn’t really count as physical affection right? 

Even disregarding that last part Mateo was still left baffled, how had it been five days since Cooper had last had a hug? Didn’t his family… oh. 

“Can I hug you?” Mateo wondered quietly. 

Cooper looked back, a pout on his face and a sadness in his eyes as if he might start to cry, “Please?” 

Mateo obliged, yanking Cooper into his grip and squeezing until the blond grunted, uncomfortable with the tightness. Mateo eased up his grip a little and nuzzled his face into Cooper’s chest as he wrapped his arms around Mateo in return. 

Eventually Cooper seemed to melt into the hug completely and Mateo found himself making a mental note to start to hug Cooper more.

rating as many hw anime projects as i could find bc i have no life

spoilers? spoilers~~~

the nacchan movie

it was o k. it had a pretty standard and rather unremarkable storyline tbh. but that nacchan confession montage was pretty funny. though i wish we could’ve seen more of mochiaka. easy 6/10.

the shower/bath montage was very much unnecessary though.

the hina movie

as a standalone movie by itself, 4/10. confusing characters (arisa), messy and rushed plot (the middle school flashback sequence was way too long for a 1h movie), and the main couple of the movie (koyuhina) barely interacted. heck, hina spent the majority of the movie running away from yukki. rip tbh :(

as part of the series as a whole, 2/10.

reading the heart no shuchou novel should be a pre-requisite to watching the movie, as it explains why arisa was so darned weird during her interactions with yukki. and speaking of arisa, they got their portrayal of karen completely wrong (rip). granted, otome domoyo. came out after the movie, but still—

though, while we’re on the topic of ✨continuity✨, the fact that there were lxl promos in the burger joint despite lxl having not even debuted yet at that point in the timeline is just. very questionable in hindsight.

also!!! koyuhina interactions where??? gardening club trio w h e r e ??? for a movie with koyuhina focus, this movie was remarkably not about koyuhina.

seriously, just read the ima suki ni naru. prologue manga instead. it’s p much the same story, but it flows much better (like, the setoguchi siblings’ terekakushi shishunki scene takes place at the end of the manga post-rejection instead of how it has occurred right smack in the middle of the movie with no explanation). and there’s no continuity-breaking burger joint scene either s o there—

the midosena short

it was kinda cute, but it also isn’t anything you haven’t already seen in the midosena mvs. 7/10.

the harucouple anime

it’s remarkable how unremarkable it was. the best part of the anime was tokyo winter session tbh, and that was the ending theme.

miou’s character kinda sucked in the anime ngl, with her blaming herself for chiaki’s death, distancing herself from haruki, only to slap him for wanting to give up on his dream following his existential crisis that had resulted from said distancing.

also, needs more mochiaka.

anime-haruki deserves better. 3/10.

the lxl mvm

fruity, while both remaining (kinda) canon-compliant and establishing aizo as the male protagonist of gen 3. plus, sena was really cute in the romeo mv scenes, so she gets points of her own too.

bond girl yujiro (as seen in the pic above) was pretty funny though ngl. 8/10.

the lxl movie

fruity, but canon-breaking, as it completely disregards both the romeo mvm and the romeo novel. plus, the timeline clearly wouldn’t have worked out??? i mean c’mon. you’re telling me that these two complete nobodies managed to get popular enough to fill a live arena over the span of less than half a year just from a pocky collab? if you told me it took them over a year to get that far, sure, but.. they haven’t even filmed their romeo mv yet in the movie… so?? i???? lol???

also, this only further confirmed aizo as the protag (rip yujiro; boy wanted to stand onstage to be seen for himself and his talents, only to be completely outshadowed by his own partner who dances like a 🪳). the anime had dai moments though, so that alone brings the total score up to 6/10. thanks dai. ily <3

the [redacted] anime

i think i’ve made my stance on the [redacted] anime very clear in my way too many posts. in comparison to the other anime projects though? 1/10.

at least the other anime projects kept their characters (or, at least, most of their characters *cough* harucouple anime miou *cough*) relatively close to their original counterparts, instead of completely butchering each and every single one of them. like, seriously, no one was spared. not the main leads (hiyori and lxl), not the side characters (gen 2), and even tamura, uchida, and ft4 were nerfed smh.

[writtengalaxies]

*rolls a nat 1, just opens the door*

Thought you could get rid of me? Well you were wrong! Mwahahahaha! (/lh)

But uhh, hey maybe let’s change it up a little bit here from my usual. Your Wilford thonks, hand ‘em over.

Ah yes, the pink menace! :D

The Colonel still exists somewhere deep in there. That side only comes out when things are at their worst, when something snaps, and it's suddenly the man who was broken from long ago standing there, eyes cold and heavy, instead of the lighthearted, disco-lover with a disregard for weapon safety.

Wilford doesn't actually have a sweet-tooth, but just refers to people by sweet names anyway. (I mean, in WMLW, he's likely drinking a martini, and those are not sweet drinks usually! Dry vermouth and gin have sweet notes, but it's much like a dry wine: a touch of fruity flavor, but you wouldn't call it sweet.)

He forgets, sometimes, that Dark isn't Damien. Sometimes this affects Dark, and his constant aura is suppressed, just for a while.

He also forgets that, sometimes, that Actor isn't the man who was like a brother to him growing up.

Despite how everything turned out, how he knows deep down no one is the same...he still hopes sometimes that they can go back to how things used to be.

He hopes that he can see his friends, those dearest to him, the way they all had been before things had gotten so dreary and dim. He misses their smiles and laughter.

This makes the world around him reflect that: punchy-bright color, dragging it from the muted reality to hopefully fluorescent.

send asks if we desire you say... hehehe

I ask if you've had a good day :> and also if you have any fun facts about the asunaro agents in mcfdau

SMILES SO WIDE... i did have a nice day, yes!!! got the chance to hang out & talk a bit with my lola + siblings so we're thriving ^_^ <3

as for mcfdau... i do!!! for reference, here are the asu-agents & their names! these will mostly be spoiler-free trivia bwehehe... excluding kai/michiru/hiyori here, because i don't want this to be too overwhelming x']

MINAMI:

— minami was an orphan who was very close with suzuki (kazumi's grandfather) throughout their teenage years together; they considered each other best friends, and though they drifted apart for a bit... after minami sustained an injury in the coast guard (post-war), still restless, he stayed with suzuki in hokkaido and inevitably got wrapped up in the yakuza conflicts that broke out leading up to the hades incident as the police force laid down pressure. & he still blames himself for, even after returning, not being close enough to recognize that suzuki's desire for power was. insatiable. and even then, he's laden with guilt over not being the one to finally stop him. — ...that aside! minami will often eat plain rice with teriyaki chicken. he does not dip his rice in teriyaki, nor does he put any other seasoning on it. like a weirdo. — despite his looks, he tends to prefer really slow instrumentals to anything else. when winding down (since he never enjoyed smoking & finds the company of other people stressful, there are too many social games...), he prefers drinking alone in his office with this sort of music playing. it keeps him from feeling overwhelmed. he still has muscle memory for some of sei's favorite songs on the kalimba...

OGASAWARA:

— ahhh i love her... she is the one in charge of dealing with most foreign affairs/trading in asunaro, as well as the gambling halls. she's very much someone who believes in carving your own path forward, even if it must be through underhanded means to gain the advantage. whereas myojin often finds a certain thrill in the roll of the dice (as it's the one thing he can't predict, unlike cards), ogasawara doesn't care much for gambling at all. everything can be rigged in her favor, and she'll do what she can to ensure as much; it's subtler than others, but she also craves large influence and aspires to be the next chairman. of course... due to her not being japanese, she is reluctant to relent anything with how easily that show of weakness or fateful misfortune can turn everything against her. for as casual as she appears, she's achingly aware of her position and takes the precautions she must to keep her balance in this mess of a world. — despite that all... she does let a few people close enough. usually, they are her subordinates - her captains - who were previously in charge of various foreign mafia in japan before [everything that led to the hades incident]; it was during this time that they had brought themselves together to survive, and that had formed something unshakeable. however, even with them, they aren't witness to her weaknesses -- even if they recognize it, she never speaks on it, and neither do they. — in any case! something lighter: she often enjoys having fruity desserts & treats, even if she can't eat as much of that now that she's older... however, she also enjoys coffee over tea! now that asunaro's been established, there's a bit more room for selfish frivolities like this and it keeps her carefree <3 (well... as long as she doesn't get the time to do that introspection) — also! i think if it weren't for her arthritis, she'd still be killing it with all sorts of instruments. one of the few gifts minami bought for her was a high-quality kutyapi. he may vehemently disregard her inclusion in hand with asunaro, but at least he tries when yakuza politics are aside? (it's complicated. to say the least. but it IS good quality)

CHEN:

— technically a subsidary family that grew into its own with ogasawara's support! chen was found recently after serving her sentence when her family (literal and yakuza) was caught up by the police; she was stuck in juvenile jail and had no place to go afterward, ending up in several terrible places before ogasawara really gave her & what was left of her (yakuza) family a place to belong... she really did save her. this certainly didn't facilitate any untold realizations about her sexuality or anything down the line that she outright refuses to linger any further on when it comes to just how unquestionably devoted she is to ogasawara. surely not. — but yes! this was genuinely an improvement when they weren't forced to support only themselves; of course, they still had to prove themselves to asunaro, but ogasawara kept that opening ready for her... and. even chen's subordinates began to realize how chen was slowly opening up. no longer in this survival mode, she was given the chance to truly be... human, not just their leader. of course, this isn't something spoken aloud either, but there's no denying she's more patient now. more understanding, where before something would've resulted in someone's execution, they're instead given expulsion or simply deal with another punishment (often isolation) instead. though she still fosters a ruthless mindset, she's certainly changed for the better. it's brought them new hope. — of course, for those first 20 or so years, she's so late on catching up with " how to interact with people " & it definitely shows. usually it creates little awkward moments between her and ogasawara, but she's said that it just makes chen cuter (O_O!); and even with her subordinates, there are some moments when they're meeting not solely with work in mind that she sort of lets her guard down & reveals just. how weird she is... and even though they're tentative to bring it up, it's only ever lightly humorous (well. their harsher words don't make it seem like it is, but that's just how they are! she does the same, with those serious-sounding threats <3) and it makes her feel. a bit more welcome and connected w her people.

MYOJIN:

— the myojin family is in (subtle) contest with the hiyoris! they're an allied branch of asunaro that's involved in information dealing, but it's due to the tension between these strongest families that they do not rule asunaro entirely (along with the yoshimoto family (with patriarch minami) & patriarch ogasawara having the force to keep them in check) ... sou hiyori is very irate that myojin can play the seniority card on him for this reason, and takes primary control of the branch now that patriarch hiyori is comatose :> — was a politician for the majority of his life and it shows, i fear... has that very polite/firm speaking pattern down and dislikes referring to himself in conversation much at all. he wants to focus on what you can do for him -- though he won't say as much! ^_^ — now that he doesn't have to exclusively wear suits, he dresses like a gay old asian man. because, much as i loathe to say it, he is a gay old asian man.

Looking at an upcoming chapter of a WIP and found this bit:

Thought it was fun and could stand on it’s own…

They were interrupted by a blonde whirlwind. “Katniss!” Delly threw her arms around the surprised girl. Katniss took a step back, wrinkling her nose at the smell of the fruity liquor concoction coming from Delly’s cup. “Oh my God! I didn’t know you would be here tonight!” She pulled back from the embrace, giving a mischievous grin “You two look cozy.” She shimmied her shoulders as she spoke.

Katniss turned to look at Peeta in time to catch his wince. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to detain your wingman.”

She shook her head, curls bouncing “Nothing to be sorry about, I’m fine all on my own.” She spread her arms out, sloshing her drink and nearly hitting a passerby with the motion. Peeta plucked the drink from her grasp, placing it on a nearby side table. “It was actually Peeta I came to assist.” She gave Katniss an exaggerated wink.

Katniss scowled, “Well don’t let me keep you.” She crossed her arms, leaning back against the wall. Delly’s words felt like a dismissal. He was the one who came up to her, it was his own stupid fault he was talking to her instead of groping some coed. She quickly surveyed the room trying to guess who Delly had in mind for him.

In her inebriated state, Delly didn’t pick up on the tension. “Oh my god! You know what I just realized?” Eyes wide she looked between the two expectantly “You two could have been siblings? Isn’t that wild? Could you imagine?” As if following a different train of thought, she scrunched up her face, waving her hands in front of her face as if clearing the air “eww, you know what, never mind, that would have been really weird”

Peeta gave a half hearted laugh “Good one Dells.”

Katniss leaned into Peeta, holding her cup in front of her mouth to whisper in his ear “How hammered is she exactly?”

“Wait! Don’t you know?” She stared at Katniss, waiting for an answer to a question Katniss didn’t even understand.

“Delly” Peeta warned, a flash of panic in his eyes.

Delly either didn’t hear this caution or chose not to heed it.”Your mom and Peeta’s dad were high school sweethearts. If they would have gotten married you two would have been related!”

Peeta’s features relaxed as he let out a breathy laugh “I don’t think that’s how it works, Dells”

disregarding Peeta’s words, Delly continued. “I’m on yearbook, we have all the old copies in the archives and were looking up pictures from our parents Senior years. When we got to the superlatives of one of the books, bam” her fingers pantomimed an explosion “Cutest couple is a picture of a girl who looks just like Prim and boy who’s obviously a Mellark: Lily and Bran. I showed Prim and she said it’s your mom and I already knew Peeta’s dad’s name.” She finished with a flourish, obviously proud of her detective work.

This was news to Katniss. She looked back and forth from Delly to Peeta. Peeta gave her a sheepish grin and shrugged his shoulders, “my dad may have mentioned it a couple times.”

she wasn’t sure how to respond to that. “Oh” It seemed impolite to say her mother had never mentioned the baker except to compliment his bread. She gave a tight smile.

Delly wrapped her arms around each of the pair’s shoulders hugging them towards her familiarly. “I’m so glad you’re not related” then she gasped, tightening her grasp in her excitement. She dropped her voice to a stage whisper “Wouldn’t it be something if you two were class couple this year?”

Peeta chuckled, “I think you’re forgetting something Delly; That would require us to be a couple first” Katniss saw his eyes shift to her, quickly darting away when he caught her glance. The lights were low but she could swear he was blushing.

“Well that could be arranged.” Delly lifted an eyebrow in Katniss’s direction, “What do you say, Katniss? Do you want to date Peeta?”

“To win a Senior superlative?” Katniss was utterly baffled by the turn of events and this new information.

Delly was about to respond when she was surprised by Peeta’s arm around her shoulder. “Alright Dells, I think you've had enough tonight. Let’s get you out of here.” She was about to protest when Peeta cut in again “you hungry? Taco Bell maybe?” Delly, smitten with the image of limp tacos, happily nodded.

Peeta turned back towards Katniss. “Hey, sorry to run off like this. I had a nice time talking to you… this was fun?” It was a statement but came out as a question. He was smiling, but not the easy confident smile she was used to seeing flashed at his friends in the halls. It was sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushed through her. Maybe there was a reasonhe had spent his time talking to her tonight.

It had been fun, but Before she could process how to proceed, Delly, impatient from waiting, reached for her discarded drink cup. Peeta cut her off, maneuvering them towardsthe exit “Oops, you don’t need that. Let’s get you out of here. See ya around Katniss”

“Drive safe.” She called after the pair. She watched as they weaved through the crowd. Before they could make their escape, Peeta looked back one last time mouthing a ‘sorry’ and shooting her a sheepish grin.

She wasn’t sure what the hell had happened tonight, but she couldn’t help smiling in return.

Part of Misadventures (Modern/High school AU)

[paceywittergayboatman]

Honest to God I don't believe shiv thinks tom and Greg are fucking when she confronts him at there house in 3.1!here's my explanation

(sa warning)

In my opinion shivs statements here lean more on the side of more tom strange behavior with her younger and clearly like gullible and childlike cousin who's maybe in his late 20s

But before we do let's look at the first scene where Greg interacts with the mother who raised him

So I'm gonna skip the beginning but mariane gets a call from Greg and he's like help mom I got fired again and then she like your literally a Roy dumbass and then she says like your gonna go to your Uncle's birthday party:

This is kid who unlike his cousins didn't grow up with wealth so he would already be inexperienced in rich people culture making him vulnerable

then she says GROWN UP twice which makes me think is someone who hasn't had a lot of adult experiences given the way she's eases her way into this with

Also her tone of voice and phrasing here is as if he's a child

Anyway let's go back to Shiv a GROWN woman with experience around men who were known to treat women like shit and disregard they're autonomy in many ways talking to Tom a GROWN man

So she calls him out for like encouraging Greg to sort of be shitty guy who flagrantly disrespects the women he's pursuing sexualy with her younger cousin who's life experiences are even to her obviously limited

The disgusting in disgusting brothers is used here as gross but gross man behavior also BROTHERS which given that fact tomgreg has been cousins makes sense for them to say but the behavior grosser

Quick Interlude

Rome quote that's from tomshiv wedding I feel is relevant

I'd like to welcome Tom to the family.

I don't feel like I'm losing a sister.

I don't feel like I'm gaining a brother, either.

I don't feel anything.

So there's two things happening here he would be her brother he's not gaining brother not because of how feels about tom

But it could also mean he doesn't feel like he's gain brother as family member and if he's not gaining brother and tom is related to Roy's that would mean he was Rome's cousin

As in words of Amy winehouse let's go back to black

So yes then tom says we just grab a drink something other woman esc but this is also her ex husband who would be technical cousins with Greg pre divorce so he's also saying I don't do weird sex shit with your cousin shiv we just grab a drink

She mentions models, which I think the idea that the models he's fucking are akin to sex workers is highly plausible the important thing is women in terms of using there body to make money in way that is visual objectifying labor (which leads theses women vulnerable to men feeling they have right to there bodies) and given the way sex workers are referred to in succession are primarily women

Also as woman who is gay and had bad comphet phase if you say model I think lady and presume shiv a woman would to

I also think tom is fruity but it's not how his homosexuality is shown on succ

So then she's like are you fucking the models Greg is gangly and cute but he's not a model so whomever this it isn't greg

So I wanna point out here if this is ithat shiv has shown Strong emotion towards the rape brutal sufferings of the women whether or not she decides to do anything for you which offers up her possible being a victim of some sort abuse involving sexual acts

And then she says

This is weird behavior to do with your almost ex wife's like childlike young cousin who I think even shiv could read as being someone who is more vulnerable than her

Also ken uses Greg very carefully as if he's thinks Greg is fragile and given that shiv asks if stewy can help take care of the family company in 3.9 as if he's helped her before probably with ken this is weirder.

The implicitaon here is that tom like molester (the cruise dude they call mo) view women as objects to be used for men's needs which in the world succ could be rape murder throwing women off boats pimping

So Greg use in the discussion is merely a way for shiv to point out tom's icky behavior

“So you have a crush on your roommate,” Chenle finally cuts him off, matter-of-fact, as if it was as simple as that statement. That asshole is completely disregarding Mark’s distress, only half-listening to his laments, mostly focused on scanning the room in search of Jeno, his not-date date, the reason they were sipping on expensive fruity beers instead of their usual cheap soju shots. “Big deal.”

“It’s not that I have a crush on my roommate, I have a crush on Donghyuck.”

[theweirdhybrid]

Hey, really got into reading bout the Wukongverse through quitealotofsodapop's version (https://quitealotofsodapop.tumblr.com/post/728902598320668672/wukongverse-for-some-reason-i-can-never-get#notes). I enjoy many of the posts, I find the idea fun. However, after reading a bit, I ran into a few things that I wanted to ask about/look deeper into your thoughts. The depiction of Sage, in the case of how he pushed MK off once, doesn't fit with how I saw the movie, I really don't think he would do that, he's short-tempered and doesn't listen, but not that (just think of how he was with Fruity after all, personally I think he would treat MK similarly).

Another thing is just something I'm curious if it changed for you or if it's still something you believe. First, I don't mean this as an insult-I think this just happens on Tumblr a lot and I sorta see it here. That is the victimification of a character--ex: Starscream, Hades, and occasionally Wukong--ignoring and blowing out-of-proportion stuff.

You say in a few posts that you see Tripitaka as an abuser, but I believe that is ignoring a lot of what happens in the story and strips all the context away from the times it's ever used, even bloating the amount of its use. In the instances where it is used, Wukong is often in the wrong (except for LBD but they legitimately thought Wukong killed innocent people but that was also Pigsy's fault) in that he does many evil things even when knowing it's wrong, including un-reasonable killing and Tripitaka has only the band to stop Wukong--he's a powerless human otherwise. Like, Wukong has killed a lot of people on the journey--Tripitaka has seen him beat men to death.

Also, Wukong can and has just straight up left. His return more has to do with that the journey is a punishment for all the havocking and murdering and cannibalism.

There's also the allegorical side, but I recommend the Yu translation, as the introduction talks a lot about that better than I can. Or even the OSP videos, but off the top of my head (I read it recently) the group is symbolic in the way of a singular person on the path of enlightenment. Triptaka isn't meant to be much.

I'm not saying physical punishment is good, but my thoughts on Tripitaka are vastly different. I think a lot of people forget that he's only a 20-something human surrounded by murders and human eaters (Wukong has eaten people and everyone is aware of it), raised in a sheltered environment by a religious group, and came out soft, gullible, a bit naive, and with his own traumas pushed into a vast world where he's constantly being besieged by monsters wanting to eat him while trying to guide his disciples to let go of their evils (while they guide him to be more open).

Tying back to the post of the person who sent me to you "Tldr: Tripitaka is a fascinating character, (especially to a high-empathy, bad-with-detecting-lies autistic person like myself) and it's way too easy for writers to interpret him as an abusive jerk when in reality he was just trying to be a good person and survive whilst surrounded by so much danger and corruption." https://quitealotofsodapop.tumblr.com/post/730363947192123392/so-whats-your-opinion-on-tripitakasanzang-a-lot

If you disregard this post entirely, then at least read the Yu translation. It's difficult to understand and it will take you a few days just to get through the introduction, but it gives really good insight.

Hi there, thanks for the ask! Lemme dissect it

That whole thing with Sage was made right before the hyperfixation fell off, but it was directly inspired by the ROTTMNT movie! (which is what my brain switched to shortly after lmao) The thought process behind it was something along the lines of “I need to get the actual plot moving” and Sage was the perfect character in my eyes- at the time, anyways- to get it moving. As you can see, the au died pretty much immediately after that lol, so it wasn’t worth it in the end. However! What it was going to lead into was a look into how Sage was feeling, since if I remember my own timeline correctly, that particular moment happened after he realized he was in a world the rest of the Pilgrim’s were dead. He was grieving in his own right, and was angry at himself for not being there to protect his friends. He wasn’t thinking straight, is what I’m trying to say. So yes, it was very out of character for him to do! That was on purpose, I just sadly never got to portray that :’) Hopefully I will in the remaster, though!

Regarding Tripitaka; You’re completely right! I made those posts two years ago now, nearly three, I no longer agree with some of my opinions regarding the JTTW characters. You’ve made a lot of good points. I do wanna say that the copy of JTTW that I managed to get my hands on was a shortened version that cut out a lot, which I very much wasn’t happy with, but it was the only copy the library near me had. (Can’t remember the name of who translated it, but I remember being particularly upset they left out the Six-Eared Macaque)

When I have the time, I’ll definitely make sure to check out the translation you recommended! That probably won’t be any time soon (I’m hyperfixated on Batman rn haha) but when I get back into Wukongverse, I’ll make sure to read Yu’s translation! :]

Also, I will admit, some personal experiences of mine made me a little too biased on my opinion of Tripitaka. I don’t think he’s an abusive jerk, never really did, though I’m certainly more comfortable with him as a character nowadays than I was two years ago. Still, hurting the people you care about as a form of “making them better” is a bit of a sore spot for me, so I’ll never truly be able to be fully comfortable with him, but that goes for a lot of characters, Wukong included.

Regardless of that though, I do genuinely like Tripitaka’s character! He’s got a lot of fascinating aspects to him, same with the rest of the Pilgrim’s. My dislike of the pain as punishment thing also applies to a lot of aspects of the book, where it’s pretty normal for characters to be lashed or something for even small things, but I also know that was pretty normal in Chinese culture at the time the book was written so :shrug:

And I do see and acknowledge your point on the fact I did uwuify the Wukong’s, an almost embarrassing amount actually. Which is part of why I’m going to remaster the au one day! It’ll get a complete overhaul in a lot of aspects, character interpretations included.

Thank you again for the ask!

[demetriandelibinaryboyfriends]

LMFAOOOO SPEAK 👏 ON 👏 IT 👏

Every single one of your tags is on point. Demetri does not give a flying fuck where Yasmine goes to college. I don't think he even knows??? In their one (1) scene together for the last 2 seasons, college does not even come up. Just a dinner date at Islands and how Yasmine now wants Demetri to push himself harder in karate. For some reason.

#I firmly believe she is staying in California for school and both of them fully plan to break up and aren’t too torn up abt it Oh, they totally plan on breaking up. Tbh I think the main reason they haven't already is because Demetri is either a) in deep, deep, DEEP denial about his sexuality, or b) fully aware of his sexuality and feels the need for a beard. I can believe either option because coming out as openly mlm in high school is INCREDIBLY risky, and typically much more taboo than being openly wlw (like Moon and Piper). So Demetri either wanting to will himself out of being gay through having a girlfriend or getting a girlfriend as a means of actively covering up the fact that he's gay both make sense. But in college (especially a college in a brand new city all the way across the country!!!) people care FAR less about your sexuality and your dating life. Hence the need for Yasmine as a cover up goes away.

Yasmine, for her part, is not serious about Demetri. I fully believe she's either a) ALSO using Demetri as a beard or b) clocked Demetri's sexuality as soon as the dick-drawing-on-cast scene happened, and willingly decided to beard for him out of pity or friend affection (my backup option for those who don't see Yasmine as gay, lol). Said pity or friend affection is absolutely not strong enough to take this poor girl across the country to continue bearding for him. I buy that she cares about him platonically, but like. Not enough to go that extra mile (or EXTRA THREE THOUSAND) just so he doesn't have to confront his fucking gayness. As for Yasmine's own gayness, well...maybe once she gets a change of scenery in college, she finally comes to accept it! Or, if the suppression must continue, it would be SO fucking easy for this girl to find another schmuck to use as her beard XD Like have you seen her??? Also Yasmine Nolastname would never in a THOUSAND years get into MIT with As her parents mostly paid for. Yet another reason she and Demetri are one of the most incompatible couples in existence, even disregarding the fact they're both fruity as shit akdsjhulkflvhu (Also ALSO no way in hell do I buy that Yasmine HASN'T figured out Demetri is gay. She may not be book smart, but NO ONE with enough social smarts to become the most popular girl in school is so astronomically stupid as to not clock Demetri Alexopoulos as a dick sucker. She 40000000% knows, and her reasons for dating him anyways are for her to know and us to speculate about XD But!!! She!!! Knows!!! I just think it's an affront to all hyperfemme bitches everywhere to imply one is stupid enough to be all-consumingly smitten with an obviously gay guy for, like, 2 fucking years 😭)

TL;DR yeah, they absolutely are not torn up about ending their relationship XD For...a variety of reasons. I don't think this relationship has ever been that genuine or serious to either. It comes off like they're kinda "playing house"--acting out how they think a relationship would go without their hearts really being in it. And whether they're closet queers or not (they are!), this is the kind of teenage thing you tend to outgrow or lose interest in in college. As people get older, they want a REAL connection, not just having a romantic relationship for a romantic relationship's sake.

#But seriously if they won’t even show her on my screen I refuse to believe she and Eli are still dating #If I see her in the flesh in a scene with Eli I will concede that they are but if I DONT #then they amicably broke up but are still besties AFUCKINGMEN. We legit have 0 evidence Moon and Eli are still together??? Like Eli does not even mention her EXISTENCE, let alone where she's going to college!! Demetri and Eli both forget about their supposedly serious girlfriends the second they walk offscreen and it's the funniest shit. Honestly surprised that that one scene in S5 didn't go like:

Kyler: Yo, look, it's Yasmine and Moon's bitches! Demetri and Eli, genuinely confused: Wait, who are they again?

#I know technically we have no evidence that he and yas aren’t staying together #But he and yas aren’t staying together All the evidence we need is that Demetri is just too intelligent to genuinely believe that comphetting himself for the rest of his life will actually work. And Yasmine loves herself too much to beard for this idiot indefinitely. Sooner or later, she's gonna get tired of her charity case!

and he’s more concerned about going to college with his boy best friend than he is about going to college with his literal girlfriend,,,,,,,,,,,, which could mean nothing
