Inferior Activities

Lia x M Reader

"How's the salad?"

"Oh, it's great" you answer as you try not to grimace after swallowing the lettuce that taste no different from paper.

"I made few twists to the dressing, you know. A family secret" The bald man winks as he takes another bite of the potato that would have turned to coal if it have been roasted a minute more.

Studying the plates of green laid out all across the table, you make a firm decision never to become a vegan. At least not if your father in law is gonna be your chef. Lia has warned his cooking skills are terrible but you didn't expect it to be this awful. The only tolerable content of the table seems to be the so-called vegan meat and even that's starting to taste lesser and lesser like meat with each bite. No offense to all those animal loving vegans out there but they really are missing out a lot in their life. You wouldn't have lasted a day if you have to survive without meat.

Your eye flicker up to Lia, seated across, to see if she's on the same page with you on the matter. She lazily plops a broccoli into her mouth, her eyes betraying no signs of disappointment. The corner of her lips twitch in a thin smile as if to mock your suffering. She looks contented even.

In the end, you only have yourself to blame. When Lia suggestsled you visits her dad on the weekends, you agreed with a simple nod. Sure, it's your first time meeting her old man but what could go wrong? Right?

Except that everything does. As soon as you enter the house, the first thing the dude asked you was your opinion on wildlife conservation. At first you thought he was joking then you find out he's actually very serious about the matter. Weather talk would have been a good starter. Seriously, who starts a conversation like that?

Then after seeing the dishes he has prepared, you find out making conversation is the least of your worries. He's your father in law and you have respect for him and all but this dude is horrible at being a vegan. If he calls his mushroom soup which tastes more like mushroom-flavored dishwater 'a masterpiece', you might as well consider becoming a chef. Who knows? Maybe you will even get a couple michelin stars.

You are thinking of a way to escape this organic hell and the constant ear rape about how billions of animals are killed per year for human consumption when Lia finally comes to your aid.

"Dad, we are nearly done. Why don't you go make your signature smoothie? I haven't got the chance to taste it since I left for college" she suggests and the old man's eyes twinkle with maddening joy.

"Oh, of course! How could I forget that? It was your mother's favorite" his tone turns solemn at the mention of his late wife but you are too focused on the idea of finally getting some breathing room to care. "Two smoothies. Coming right up! You will absolutely love it" He winks at you again and leaves the table.

You drop your utensils and exhale in relief. "Finally. I was gonna turn into stone if I hear one more second of his animal talk"

Lia chuckles. "I get used to it after living with him for 18 years. He's actually a really sweeet guy. He just tries to focus on something else after my mom passed, I guess"

If the fact is supposed to make you feel sorry, it doesn't work. But you are not gonna tell her that. "How do you survive with this kind of food all these years?"

"It wasn't always that bad" Belle protests. "And sometimes he even cooks meat. But his skills get rusty with old age"

"Yep, I'm never becoming a vegan"

Lia pouts in annoyance. "Oh, come on. It's not that bad"

"Suits yourself"

"You just hate vegetables in general"

You roll your eyes in feigned annoyance. "Look, who's trying to follow her father's steps"

"Whatever" Lia finally gives up, pushing up her glasses from her nose. "I'm still hungry you know...."

"Maybe we can go to McDonald's or something later"

"No, daddy" Lia's voice turns low and sultry. "You know exactly what I want"

You look around in a panic to see if her dad has overheard your conversation. Thankfully, the guy's busy cutting carrots on the kitchen counter.

"Lia, I told you not to call me that in public. Especially not when your literal dad is right here" you warned, though you can't deny the fact that hearing her call you the name get your blood flowing backwards.

"Oh, come on, daddyyyyy" she pushes on, stressing the last word to make it sound even more fervorous. "I know you secretly love it"

"Look, babe. I love the name but this isn't the right place. Seriously, your dad's right there"

"So what?" Lia puts her elbows on the table, propping her chin in her palms. "Don't you enjoy a little risk?"

"Come on, babe. Not right now. I will make it up to you when you come back"

"But I want it now" Lia whines, the pout reforming on her lips. "Need to taste daddy's big cock. Need it shove down my throat"

"Lia...." you hiss, becoming aware of her tone, increasing by the second.

"Daddy pleaseee" she gives you those bambi eyes she knows you can't resist. "Let me suck your huge cock. I need you to fill up my mouth with your hot cum. I have been a good girl, haven't I? I deserve my reward" Lia runs her tongue along her top lips to punctuate her wish.

With the way her words get your asleep mamba waking up, you already know you are fighting a losing battle but you still need to be the one in charge here. "Alright, fine. But-"

"Oops. I drop my spoon" The metal hits the floor with a loud clang and Lia immediately dives down the table. It's an overused trope. You have seen it in hundreds of porn videos and you are no stranger to it. But you have never thought you would be in a similar situation and this time, the risk is very real. Her dad is not a paid actor who would pretend to be oblivious at the scene which would soon unfold.

"Is everything ok?" Lia's dad shouts from the kitchen counter, now washing.....are those eggplants?

"Yes, mister! We are gold!" You replies, hoping he would stay focused on his veggies.

You look down and find Lia already kneeled between your legs, a flicker of amusement in her eyes behind those glasses. Her lips curve into an impish smile. "Just stay still and let me do all the work, daddy" she whispers, her hands already working on your zipper. With one swift pull, she opens it up, revealing your red underwear underneath. "Oh, daddy's wearing my favorite colour today" Lia muses as she grabs your cock over the thin fabric, her thumb tracing slow circles. "Daddy, you are already so hard"

As much as you want to prolong this pornographic session, her dad is not going to be in the kitchen forever and you don't want to give him a heart attack. "Babe, enough teasing. Make it quick" you warn and her thumb rests on your head, pressing down on that sensitive spot she only knows. You let out a half-formed moan, not daring to be loud.

"You know the magic word, daddy. No need to be so formal" she presses again and you grit your teeth.

"Start sucking my cock, you slut" you calls her by her favorite nickname, which intsantly gets her engines revving.

"Yes, daddy" she release her grip, pulling down your underwear. Your rock hard cock springs out in a flash, hitting her spectacles. "Someone's eager" Lia chuckles, placing her brown locks behind her back, preparing for the main course. Her left hand close around your base, pumping it up and down in an agonizingly slow pace. She looks at your cock like it's something glorious, something she should be worshipping. But that's not so far from the truth. If this slut wants to choke on your cock, you are gonna permit it happily.

"Daddy, you are so big" Lia mutters dreamily, her free hand fondling your balls each at a time. The combination gets your mind cloudy, basking in the pleasure you nearly forget the whole point of this.

"I don't see you sucking my cock?" Lia stops her movements at your words and you nearly reget telling her to stop. But that doesn't last long because Lia instantly starts obliging to your command.

"Patience, daddy" With that, her rosy lips seal around your tip, taking you partly into the warmth of her mouth. Meanwhile, her hands grab your shaft, working in unison with each drag of her lips. The twist of her fingers along with her tongue that swirls around your slit gets you throwing your head back, letting out a graon. Then you quickly recompose not to expose yourself.

Lia doesn't seem to be bothered. Getting caught seems to be the last thing on your mind as she slurps on your head with fevorous vigour. Like it's the most delicous lollipop she has ever tasted. Her tongue gathers up any pre cum that leaks from your slit, taking it straight down to her stomach. She would takes anything your cock has to offer.

Every moment or so, you would check on her dad, making sure the guy's still busy brewing his organic potion which contents are starting to get weirder. But as long as he's busy, you don't care what he's putting into that blender. It's the best for him and you. You doubt the old man would be as merciful to you as he is to wildlife if he finds out his daughter is giving you head under his table.

But the task proves to be harder because Lia's dad would throw you ocassional glances and you have to put on this stupid grin everytime, which is not so easy with how Lia's sucking you off. Now she has taken half your cock into her mouth, her cheeks hollowed with unfathomable suction. Her hair sways with every bob of her head, forming silky waves of hazel. All the while, she keeps her eyes on you behind those circular frames, those pools of black seems to be asking if she's doing a good job.

"God, Lia....just like that" you grip the edge of the table to compensate for not being able to rejoice in the bliss of Lia's wet hole freely. Your head darting up and down as you keep watch on her father as well as enjoy the view between your legs.

Your shaft is now ringed with red as Lia leaves tarces of her lipstick mixed with her saliva while her lips glide smoothly along your cock, making it a red wet mess. Not like you mind. She can keeps messing it up all she wants.

Her tongue action doesn't waver either, licking up any available part but escpecially under your tip to tackle your weak spot each time she takes you in. To add icing on the cake, she has her left hand wrapped around your base to pump the lengths unattended by her mouth, not leaving out any throbbing vein.

You are helpless against her attack, the only action from your side to keeps grabbing the tablecloth into an unshapely tangle. And even that's starting to fail at holding back your moans.

A loud whirring sound fills up the place as Lia's dad starts brewing all those green stuffs in the blender. He gives you a thumbs up and you smile back, shammming excitement. The sound of the blender blades reminding you of the disguisting smoothie you will soon have to drink.

However, Lia takes advantage of the noise by taking your whole length down on her throat, the loud gagging sound lost in the echoes of spinning blades. You take the chance to make any audible sound that would let you express your euphoria. A moan. Then two. Then a couple more. It no longer seems to be ending as Lia devour your cock like a hungry animal, hitting the back of her throat each time she deeothroats.

Drops of saliva litters the ground. The evidences of Lia's godly work. Gags after gags escape her mouth in rhythm with your moans. However, escape won't be suitable here with the way your cock is blocking her airway. But that isn't a problem because she would choose your dick over oxygen.

The blender keeps whirring and Lia keeps choking on your cock. Her glasses now tilted at a strange angle from the force of her movement, the temple hanging on one ear only. Currently, her vision isn't as important as the taste of your dick on her tongue.

Lia finally pulls back, trails of saliva running from your tip to her lips. A waterfall of saliva staining her white shirt. Her tongue rolled out and her temples dripping with sweat.

"Daddy....am I...good?" she pants like a bitch in heat, all her lipsticks all gone.

"Very. But you gotta finish what you start my little slut"

"Yes, daddy. Feed me your thick cum. I want it all"

"Then come and take it"

Lia dives back on your cock, immeditaely swallowing your whole length. You groans out at the burst of pleasure, her throat constricted around your shaft. Lia holds her position, her nose pressed to your pelvis for a few moment before pulling back, just to start fucking her throat on your cock again and again.

The sound of the blender stops and you hear the clink of glasses. Turning your head, you find Lia's dad pouring the green liquid into two glasses. It would only be a few minutes before he comes back.

Lia seems to realize to because her lips form an airtight seal around your head and her hands satrt pumping your shaft furiously. Using all your willpower to hold out from finishing earlier leaves no strength left to withstand Lia's final assault. Your cock starts throbbing and soon you are spilling your cum into her mouth. Some reaching her tongue, the other flowing straight down her throat. Lia's fingers keep twisting back and forth and you empty the last drops of your protein rich fluid into her welcoming hole.

You close your eyes, breathing hard. The relief is instant as much as the build up is agonizingly blissful. Lia releases your cock with a pop and lick up the remnants of cum on the tip. You are too lost in the euphporic finale you totally forget the perilous situation you are in. When you realize, it's too late.

Lia's dad is near the table, two glasses of the green smoothie in his hands. His face is a mixture of shock and distress as he stands rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on her daughter's face a few centimeters away from your spent cock. His mouth opens but before he can speak, Lia chimes in.

"Thanks for the meal daddy. But I don't think I'm going to need the smoothie. I already have dessert"

[whatudowhennooneseesyou]

This might be being delulu again, but i'm no longer asshamed so

I feel that Hyunjin would be REALLY into a smooth manipulator type of girl. Someone that puts on multiple masks for others, who hides her true feelings (maybe out of a trauma or personal benefits) and uses her charms to get what she wants. Lying, deceiving, gaslighting, but just enough to achieve her goals and not really to hurt people.

I think he'll enjoy seeing someone that. He's an ambitious person himself and a hard-worker, so he can't help but appreciate a girl going that far to satisfy her own ambitions too. Someone who can conjure fake tears to get her way or escape a situation. Who isn't afraid of manipulating others for their wishes, despite the risk of it backfiring.

Hyunjin would take a look at that little schemer, seeing instantly through her facade (because he's the same as her, pretenders recognize other pretenders), and become fascinated by her. He'll find her tactics amusing and would have fun watching her play people like puppets. Maybe he'll intervene in her bussiness and push her buttons, eager to see how far she can go and where do her limits reside.

Sorry for the rant, been in a Hyunjin mode recently and I'm obsessed witht the deep analysis of his persona I see around here

I am still watching Keith's Cheesecake Factor video and the PORTIONS ARE SO HUGE?? I have not seen cheesecake the size of a small plate before and I can now understand why ppl say one cheesecake slice is enough for two people.

I'll tag my special moot @lyramundana because she LURRVES any type of Bang Chan and Hyunjin analysis and tea about the 'shadow' aspects of the idols.

Wow- this is a dark and emotionally in-depth take and I'm not sure whether I can answer this because I just haven't thought about the mind of Hyunjin to this level but it's a powerful insight.

This would be a great starter for a cool piece with a toxic!reader but I honestly don't have anything to respond to this except I think this is a cool analysis of what Hyunjin could potentially be attracted too.

Clone X Theory- Who is he?

Major spoilers for "Infiltration" and "Extraction"

Who is Clone X? This is a question we have all been wondering since he first showed up in the trailer. There's so many of them so it's possible we're seeing multiple ones. But what about the one we saw in today's episodes? The one we focused on as he infiltrated Rex's base? Based on his dialogue and how he kept surviving, I feel he's definitely not some random assassin. One thing I'd like to also point out is that he's an exceptional sharpshooter, as are the other clone assassins. It's possible they got enhancements the way Crosshair did, but it's just a thought.

There are two contenders for the identity of this man: Cody and Tech.

Clone X and the other clone assassin both knew Crosshair, with the latter mocking him about the program. Clone X later fights Crosshair one-on-one. He tells Crosshair that he had his chance and that he chose the wrong side. The emotional weight this would have if we learn it is Tech or Cody. Crosshair had a connection to this person and to see them brainwashed is heartbreaking. And the fact that this person felt that Crosshair abandoned them... this is heartbreaking to think about.

Cody: last we heard of Cody, he went AWOL. At least, that's what Rampart told us and we all know how trustworthy he is. Could it be that Rampart found out about Cody's refusal to kill the senator and had him sent to Tantiss? The answer is probably yes. We also haven't heard from Cody since "The Solitary Clone." No one has mentioned his location at all.

Cody also has a past with Crosshair as seen in both CW and TBB. At the end of "The Solitary Clone," he tells Crosshair that they aren't droids and can make their own decisions. The irony of those being Cody's last words before being turned into an assassin... truly horrifying. We also don't have a fitting end to Cody's story so this could be a possibility.

Tech: the Tech Debate has been going on ever since "Plan 99." There are so many theories for and against his death. For starters, SW does have a bad habit of seemingly killing off characters and then reviving them two episodes/shows later. Gregor and Maul are prime examples of this. Tech staying dead would show that SW does commit to real consequences and keep the emotional weight of his sacrifice.

But, they never talk about him, at least on screen. If Tech were truly gone, I think we would've seen the Batch grieve more, especially Crosshair. Look at Rebels for two seconds. Kanan gets killed and then the following episode is about the Ghost crew mourning his death. We get time to process and come to terms with his sacrifice. Tech doesn't get that. This makes his story feel unresolved. Why would they intentionally keep important conversations regarding a main character out unless they weren't done with him?

There are also smaller details like Clone X limping away. Now, this could be simply due to the fact he got a bunch of rocks thrown on him, but Tech also broke his leg once upon a time in season 2. This is just a stretch though. The voice is also modulated meaning he could be Tech or Cody.

And again there's the fight between Clone X and Crosshair. The writers intentionally paired these two together. Crosshair is a failed attempt at Hemlock's program, but Clone X isn't. Wouldn't it be so heartbreaking if it was Tech and Crosshair was unknowingly fighting his fallen brother? Clone X is very Winter Soldier-coded and having him be someone we and the Batch know personally would only add to it.

Alright guys, that's all I have for now. I have a feeling episode "The Harbinger" will be about Clone X. But who do you think it is? Tech? Cody? A random guy?

the west wing, 20 hours in america, sentence starter meme.

You know the story about the guy whose cars gets stuck in a muddy hole. A farmer comes along and says he'll pull the car out of the mud but he's going to have to charge 50 bucks 'cause this is the tenth time he's had to pull it out of the mud today. The driver says, "God, when to you have time to plow your land, at night?" The farmer says, "No, no. Nighttimeis when I fill the whole with water."

Why aren't you there?

It's tough to explain.

[name] has trouble concealing his displeasure.

Stepped on it.

You seem pissed that I brought it up.

When somebody can give me an answer to that question, I'll let you know.

I am lightened up. This is me lightened up. You're saying lighter?

You want to lighten up a little?

Speaking of health and fitness...

I had half a grapefruit.

You think I'm lying?

You've been up the past two nights and I don't want a zombie.

Go to sleep.

I'm kidding. that was a joke. I kid because I love.

No kidding, it feels good out here.

You sure i'm not taking you away from something you need to be doing?

You have a second job?

This is fun. We're roughing it.

Remember some of that stuff I said, okay?

Yeah. Doesn't sound quite right, though, does it?

Just out of curiosity, what do you think would happen?

I'm not very easily impressed.

Yeah, you know what? Sue me.

It's a-a common mistake.

How did...? I don't understand.

What is this, a joke?!

Okay, this is a whole new thing now. My guys are going to need to walk this off a bit before they can regroup.

No, I'm sorry buddy. I know you're supposed to be sleeping today.

I don't know what it is you do in there.

Welcome to the club, partner. We got jackets.

You ever love so much it hurts? Like, physically hurts?

It's not intellect, it's memory. It's a different gift. A wonderful one. I've never had it.

I make fun of the French as much as anybody and I don't even know what that meant.

Elitist, feminist-- you can't do that to the English language.

Several of the men I've dated haven't yet gotten over their fear of frogs.

Option one is we make a joke out of it.

We make a joke out of it? What would we have to do to it to make...?

What's your specialty?

No, I mean I can't believe you're considering doing it.

I didn't know you were superstitious.

How long have we been talking about this now?

Okay, let's not tell anybody that.

Whatcha' doin' on the floor?

I'm sitting here listening, already I've turned to a life of crime.

And they're using Act V scene from Hamlet? Are these Batman villians?

300 IQ points between them-- they can't find their way home.

I swear to God, if [name] wasn't there, they'd have to buy a house.

I don't know. I'm a puzzle.

We'd rather people didn't exercise common sense but I agree with what you're saying.

You know I can hear you, right?

I'm in your corner.

You call me a liar to my face?

Well, I'm afraid we're at a classic impasse, [name].

You were strange the first time I met you, and you're strange now.

Hey, the first time you met me there was a good reason.

My powers of deduction are not to be mocked.

That come with tights and a cap?

I'm going to figure it out anyway. What I lack in memory, I more than make up for with exceptional powers of deductive reasoning.

By the way, my powers of ordering are a joke.

Ah, you pulled the switcheroo.

You are so heartbreakingly easy at the end of the day.

You deceived me.

You played upon my love for you.

I'm going to make fun of you while you do, okay?

Did you have other plans?

As a matter of fact, I did. I was planning a quiet night...

If you ask me, it's soft porn. No one needs to massage garlic oil into a leg of lamb that much, on top of which...

You know anything about chaos theory?

Let me get you home. I don't think you're going to make it.

Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.

[ninamodaffari]

Do you have any tips, do's and dont's for entry-level resumes?

Hello there my friend, thank you for the question!

First off, I have a link to a great resource, Alex Jackson, who has answered this question far better than I can (I still have some advice though). You can see her thread here, but I'm going to cite some main examples.

Most likely software is going to be reading your resume, so keep it safe and simple, not too over-designed.

Use the keywords in the job listing to write the bullet-points in your resume. For example, if the listing says they are looking for a 'driven self-starter', then you can put something along those lines on the resume, that you adapted to different styles, started projects of your own, etc.

You can always have different copies of your resume for different jobs.

Make sure your portfolio and email are clickable links. Make it as easy as possible for the recruiter to see your work and contact you.

Don't do the skill rating thing anymore (you used to see it with people doing 3/5 stars, giving themselves stat points, just don't do that, recruiters might find it annoying).

"Keep graphics out of your resume, with possible exception of a logo. A little bit of creativity there is fine, just make sure your name is in text form. The software can’t read images, you want as much in text as possible. Also don’t put your portrait, please." A reason Alex says that is to eliminate any unconscious bias that the recruiter might have, as sad as it may seem. Better safe than sorry. :(

Even if you haven't touched the software they listed, apply anyways. If you do get a reply back, you can always learn via quick tutorial, watch a few videos, etc. For EA, Maya was listed as a heavily recommended software. I had no fucking clue how to use it, but figured it out watching a video enough to do my work.

You don't really want to do two-stack resumes anymore, make it one stack and try and keep it to one page. As always, this is just my advice that was given to me from incredible resources like Alex's, and advice from my many friends in the industry and experiences that I myself have had. Things are always changing in this sphere though, so a piece of advice I have now might be something someone disagrees with later. I hope this helps, in any regard!

google site / muses / interest tracker / starter calls / memes / wishlist / musings sideblog

ONE. typical rp etiquette is required on my blog; no godmodding / metagaming / taking control of my character unless previously talked about. please do not reblog roleplay memes directly from me. please reblog memes from the source. i don't expect you to practice reblog karma, but i would appreciate it if you sent me memes after reblogging a meme you saw on my blog.

TWO. please be over the age of twenty as i would prefer to write with a mature audience. i will only roleplay and interact with mutuals. if you follow me first, please consider breaking the ice and hopping into my dms — even a simple hi is enough to get it started! i promise i don’t bite. this is also a warning that i will probably invade your messages if you follow me or follow me back. one more thing, if you follow me with the intent of roleplay, please consider filling out my interest tracker. it's a very straightforward way for me to know that you are interested in roleplaying with me and is a way to break the ice if you're antsy about dming me.

THREE. all muses found on this blog are multiship. i would like you to ask before shipping; i’m fine with shipping immediately, but don't come into my inbox starting a relationship without talking to me about it first. that'll earn you a block.

FOUR. many of my canons are headcanon-based. respect my headcanons and i’ll respect yours. don’t like one of my headcanons? thinking about sending me hatemail? just block me, dude. not that hard. if you send me hatemail i’ll clown on you and talk about you behind you back.

FIVE. i am extremely selective and i reserve the right to unfollow or block at will. if we haven't interacted at all, i’ll probably softblock you. though you're welcome to follow back if you do want to interact. i will not answer questions about why i’ve unfollowed or blocked.

SIX. personal blogs, do not interact unless you have a roleplay sideblog. i’m probably just going to block you. nothing personal.

SEVEN. i don't reblog callout posts or engage in cancel culture unless genuine, actual, real life harm is being done. don’t get me involved in your drama. i prefer to do my own research; ultimately, i choose who i can and can't interact with. if you have a dni, i probably won't follow/follow back. i will make exceptions for mutuals that i know and trust.

EIGHT. this blog is run by an afab nonbinary asian person. a majority of my muses fall under the lgbtq+ umbrella. don’t be any kind of -ist to me or my muses, because that will result in an immediate block.

CONTENT WARNING: this blog delves into dark themes at times. i will tag things as “trigger tw”, and i will do my best to tag anything particularly triggering, especially if it’s visual. if you need something tagged, i’ll do my best to tag it for you. i also enjoy writing sexual content, tagged as “nsft.”, which i will also put under a read more. however, just because i like dark content doesn't mean i roleplay incest or pedophilia. dni if that's what you're here for. i unabashedly love my original characters as much as i love my canon muses. i would like to ask you to consider interacting with my originals just as much as my canons!

another note: a majority of my muses are male or transmasc nonbinary because i am transmasc nonbinary. this does not mean i don’t love my female muses just as much. i’m here to have fun with my barbie dolls. i love oc x canon and i strongly encourage you to suggest oc x canon ships!

Interaction PSA: Memes

[With less time to RP lately, I've had to be more selective and realized I often find myself browsing new followers' blogs for the types of PSAs they post/rb. Things like their meme and writing preferences, expectations for reply times, etc. They help me get an idea of if we'll be a good "vibe" or not, so I wanted to add a PSA / Interacting Info section back to my pinned with some (hopefully!) helpful info.]

♥ My memes have no expiration date. I go back through them regularly and if there are ones I no longer feel like doing, If it's in my meme tag, you're welcome to send it no matter how long it's been since I rb'd it.

♥ Memes are always welcome & a great ice breaker. If you're a new mutual and aren't sure how to reach out ic or ooc, memes are always a great option. Chances are, if you send me a meme for the first time and we haven't talked yet, I'll likely crawl into your IMs to say hello and thank you for sending something, so it's kind of two birds with one stone. (I am shy, but less shy when I know someone wants to interact enough to send something.)

♥ Multiple memes are not only welcome, but encouraged. I LOVE having options to choose from. My muse is sporadic and unpredictable. Some days I'm in an angst mode. Some days I just want fluff. Sometimes my brain just doesn't want to give me anything for a particular meme for a long time. I feel really guilty keeping people waiting for a reply if I don't get quick muse for the one & only thing they've sent in, so I promise you're both doing me a favor and making my day if you send me more than one thing.

♥ And no, I'm not exaggerating when I say there is no limit. You're not "spamming me", you're not "bugging me", you're not sending "too much". I light up each time I see "new ask received", so as long as you know they may not all get responded to right away / in order / in a "quick" manner and understand that I may still rb memes or post and/or like meme & starter calls even if my inbox is not empty, seriously - go for it. Feel free to keep sending even if I haven’t finished all of yours yet.

♥ In the case of new interactions, I will likely reach out to bounce ideas/thoughts for answering a meme. I don't mean this to be uncreative or annoying, but sometimes I freeze up when things are too open / have infinite possibilities. I do better with light discussion, outlining, or some plotting. If I reach out like this it's because I'm really excited and just want to bounce thoughts off of you to break that ice and get my brain cells working. I generally feel more comfortable winging it as I get to know a mun, but I enjoy plotting in general so if that’s your thing we can plot as much as you want, always!

I'm a selective shipper, and shipping generally depends on good chemistry between both the muns and our muses. I feel like you'll probably know if we have what I consider an "active ship", but pretty much if we'd had the "would you be interested in shipping" discussion and gushed to some extent about their dynamic (whether it's fully written out in threads yet or not), I consider you an "active ship". I timeline hop and write lots of verses, so our threads do not have to be linear. Like with any other meme, I may hold on to one until I get a good idea for it or feel like it fits or I've asked some questions I need to know first - but if we have agreed to ship and bounced any ideas on how we think our muses' overall dynamic will go, you can send these!

Oh I’m sure nothing can go wrong once you meet Reverie, you certainly won’t be taken by his kids charm or anything. Nothing going wrong at all.

Stepping out into the living room again, Dedede raised an eyebrow. "Not sure why yer sayin' that like it's a bad thing." He commented, the others turning to look as he walked over. "Isn’t that a move Orbee knows?" Beep wondered aloud before realizing what she'd said, clamping her mouth shut. "A" Reverie squeaked, the king glancing between them. "Orbee..?" He prompted. The Dream Fae stayed silent. It wasn't easy to bring up that he had more children.

Staring at him for a moment, Dedede sighed. "…well, we're not done talkin' yet. We can touch on that, too." He relented. "R-right." Reverie mumbled, relieved that he had a little more time at the least. "You, still gotta talk, yeah." Beep agreed. "And learn how cool and good Rev is so he can stay." She added. "Aww, Beep…" Her father replied, touched. "Seconded." Gremlin spoke up. "Thirded!" Luna joined in. All the support was making him misty-eyed.

"Heh, guess so. You should tell me some more about ya." The penguin figured. "What haven't I said yet, though..." Reverie trailed off. "A heck of a lot, feathers." Dedede answered, a little annoyed with his continued dodging. Bristling, Beep cut in "He’s a good person, though. That’s important to remember." The king gave her a suspiscious look. "…yeah, ah will." He finally replied. "I, um, sorry, I guess I'm just, not sure what you want to know." The Dream Fae expressed, hoping to disract, even if it meant more questions.

"Well, fer starters, there's where ya've been hiding here in Dreamland for however long. Or how ya came across Beep. Or why the other me came after you, which you keep avoidin-" Dedede listed, being swiftly interupted before he could go on. "I-I've been hiding in the caves around Grape Gardens." Reverie explained. "We stayed away from people a lot, made sure no one found us." Beep elaborated. "Except the two a you, ah'm guessin'." The king pointed out, gesturing to Luna and Gremlin.

"Right… We can kinda sense each other, since we're made of each other's weakness. And I introduced him to Luna." Gremlin confirmed. "Mmhm. I doubt I would've met them otherwise." Luna thought. "We stayed away from people, Luna and Gremlin are friends." Beep huffed. "Didn't think the two were mutually exclusive, but fair 'nough." Dedede joked. As things were going well, Reverie pressed on to the second question. "And um. Me n' Beep met a few years back when I went to another planet. The uh… Tac planet."

"The nameless one?" Dedede guessed. "Yeah. She wanted to stay with me and I'm… just really glad that she did." Reverie told him. Beep looked at him, confused. There was more to that story than what he was sharing, much more. Which wasn't lost on the king. "Kinda expected a longer story for that one." "W-well, I…" The Dream Fae murmured, nerves getting to him again. "Hey, it's ok, Rev. You learned from it." Gremlin encouraged him. "nnn… I was… in a really bad place." His mirror managed.

It was starting to make sense why he was being cagey. "Ah. Not easy to look back on?" Dedede assumed. "For meeting Beep it is, not so much for the rest." Reverie explained. This was getting painful. Maybe that was what pushed Beep to get it over with. "He ran away from his family." She blurted out. A heavy silence fell over the house. "…y-yeah." Her father all but whispered. The king paused, approaching more carefully now. "From, Twister?" He questioned. "Yeah, but… not mainly." The Dream Fae admitted.

"He was, scared-" Beep tried, Dedede maintaining eye contact with her father. "Of..?" He prompted. "…there's, no easy way to, to say it." Reverie mumbled, guilt weighing down on him again. Luna silently placed a nub on his wing for support. "I… I have a history of… of giving too much to people and… ruining relationships. A-and I just, felt like it was go-onna happen again…" The Dream Fae continued, difficult as it was. "But to Orbee…" The Matter finished the sentiment. Though she'd been able to see the memory from his side of things, it somehow hit differently to hear it out loud.

"Orbee. That's..?" Dedede trailed off. Seemed he couldn't hold it off for long. "O-orbee's my first kid… Um, Beep's older, but I was with them first." Reverie explained. "Y-you have two of em-" The penguin started, growing nervous, before he was cut off. "They're not a Matter like Beep is." The Dream Fae answered his question before he could ask it. "O-oh. And yer sayin' you ran out on them?" The king summarized, no longer nervous, but stern. "…y-yeah, i did. I thought I'd make their life worse and I… it's not an excuse for it at all…"

Luna gave him a pat to reassure him. "B-but you went back!! You’re a good person-" Beep insisted, both for the king and her father to believe it. "nnn…" Reverie groaned, not convinced. "Ah'm hopin' ya learned something." Dedede stated, gaze still flat and serious. "He did. I made sure of it." Gremlin responded, matching his gaze. "Good man." The penguin nodded. "He's been a wonderful father ever since, to both of them." The puff added, hoping to improve the atmosphere.

"Oh yeah, Gremlin punched him in the face. Like really really hard." Beep piped up. "Damn, Twister!" Dedede exclaimed, now more impressed than anything. "I do not regret it." Gremlin said, his brother's feathers fluffing up. "I, yeah… neaither do I." Reverie agreed, knowing he needed the wake up call. "It was so fucking cool-" His daughter continued, frustrating him. "Ok, it wasn't that cool-" The Dream Fae started. "Thanks!" The Dream Demon interupted.

"Kinda wish ah'd seen it!" Dedede laughed. "uuugh." Reverie groaned, not entirely sure if this was a better outcome to this story. "Rev, you rolled like eight feet it was insane-" Beep reminded him. "He surprised me!!" Her father defended. "It got the point across." Gremlin shrugged. "Across his FACE-" The Matter continued. It certainly wasn't comfortable to be reminded, but teasing him over taking a punch was better than dwelling on his mistake.

direction to rules below... ⤵️

hi! my name is claus, i’m 22, and my pronouns are he/him.

LETS GOOOO MONKIE KID S4!!!! i haven't finished the latest season yet, but once all 10 episodes are fan-subbed, i'll incorporate them into blog canon. yahoo!

this blog is primarily an IC-run blog, meaning posts are made as though the character has a blog. i’m also open for face-to-face interactions through memes, DMs, or threads, though!

Rule One

i’m not terribly selective, so even if we’re not mutuals, you’re more than welcome to send in ask memes and turn them into threads! any starter calls however are reserved for my mutuals.

Rule Two

please be patient! i’m super slow and usually post my replies in bursts. i try to be as descriptive as i can, and i do my best to get to replies when i have the energy; most of the time it isn’t intentional when i leave threads untugged so to speak. i got a lot going on. that being said, it doesn't matter how long ago i rb'd an rp meme. if you see it, send it in!

Rule Three

i don’t mind if you use icons or cool formatting! i do pretty much the same thing, so if i can read it, i will rp with you. i'll be capping icons myself in due time. ILL DO MY BEST...

Rule Four

i feel like it goes without saying, but no sexual nsfw. sure, my interpretation based on word of god in the show staff places mei and mk at 23, but they were also designed to be interpreted as any age, so it's just kinda weird. jokes are allowed, but those will be tagged accordingly.

as for romantic shipping, definitely not with mei/long xiaojiao or familial/mentor figures like pigsy, tang, sun wukong, and the six-eared macaque. i work based off chemistry, age range, and communication here for any others, and that's not just for romance - even platonic relationships, too!

Rule Five

i’m cool with crossover rps, and while i’ve limited it to fandoms i’m familiar with in the past, i’ve actually followed fandoms i don’t know a lot about. basically, if you have a detailed bio about your muse i’ll gladly follow back! that being said, i’m naturally wary of these fandoms/media: camp camp, steven universe, rick and morty, doctor who, ava’s demon, and osomatsu-san. but fandoms i absolutely won’t tolerate include: vivzie pop's works, killing stalking, attack on titan, hetalia, mister pickles, south park, k-pop, and any other depiction of real people.

i only make exceptions for any of these if i know the other mun well enough to trust their interpretation.

Rule Six

while i only need graphic bird death tagged, if you like and/or post about anything related to pedophilia, incest, selfcest, dubcon/noncon, bigotry, demonization of mental illness (especially psychosis/did), i’ll block you, no questions asked. i understand muses being sa victims and muns coping with sa, but a lot of the time it gets glorified and i’m not for that graphic shit.

For the fic questions - number one? (Which work of yours would you recommend to someone who’s never read your stuff?)

Hi anon! Thank you so much for asking <3

The thing about this question is that the correct answer isn't necessarily my best work, but rather one that represents me as a writer overall. I have a few crack/comedy fics that are my most successful fics numerically, and they're pretty fun, but they're definitely in the minority when it comes to my writing. I also want to rec something relatively recent, to represent my current writing style, despite having plenty of works written before the pandemic. And I still want to make a good impression, obviously. I gravitate, in general, to multi-chapter fics or short series of oneshots, and my general disposition is towards character studies, angst, slow burn romance, and slow narratives in general. My alternate universes are usually mishmashes of different canons or very subtle changes (for want of a nail type of aus), although I have a lot of canon compliant fics. I have smutty fics for sure, but the smut is always secondary for me to the character, and although I enjoy a good PWP when reading, I prefer to write sex scenes that move the plot forward. Also, I've written almost no non polyamorous romance stories since 2019. I nearly always have happy endings, because unless it serves a specific purpose, I don't enjoy unnecessarily grimdark endings. I've let my characters suffer, they've gotten through it, and they're better for it. I prefer fandoms with a lot of source material - TV shows, book series, comics.

So I have two answers. The first is a series of three one shots, and might not count, but I feel like it includes all of the above - stay here (all I know is that I'm not running towards the safest thing). It's a leverage (tv show) au where eliot doesn't join the team until mid-season three. It's a character study for eliot, features an ot3 - eliot/parker/hardison, and is a very subtle au overall, mostly following canon except for the consequences of this one change. Has a happy ending. I will say the romance, while not instantaneous, is also not particular slow burn, but the plot is secondary, with the fics focusing on eliot's journey towards healing over the course of all three fics. I haven't written for leverage in over a year, but it's some of my best work, while still representing my writing style as a whole.

But if we're only accepting single fics rather than fic series, I have to pick I'm a mess (but I'm the mess that you wanted). It's a mix of a few different canons - it's mainly a spider-man into the spider-verse fic, but features details from spider-man, deadpool, and spider-gwen comics, and it's basically entirely canon compliant for all of them, because it happens post canon. It's an angsty spideypool fic, a pairing I've been writing for since 2015 (damn), but also features petermj pretty heavily. It also features a lot of character study elements for peter, and focuses on his mental health and grief for gwen. the romance isn't as slow burn as some of my other fics, but it's an 11k word fic, and peter and wade don't get together till the very end (spoiler, lmao). It also features a lot of my more abstract writing and has a bunch of parallels and time jumps, which I love doing and absolutely is something I do a lot and have since I started writing fic (I've been doing time jumps since my first major longfic, Of Three Times Lily Evans Changed Her Mind About James Potter, which I started in spring of 2014).

So yeah, long answer, but that's what I'd suggest as starters for my fics.

[latealzalost]

If Michael was a boss fight (like Red was) what do you think his team would be? We kinda have an official answer for what Wes' would be from that one Mt. Battle Trainer in XD whose party was Espeon/Umbreon/Entei/Suicune/Raikou (maybe Tyranitar would be the sixth slot?)

Good question. Personally I've always liked the idea of Wes retaining the Ho-oh he would get from Battle Mode's 100 Battle challenge after purifying every Shadow Pokemon and likewise Michael would retain the Lugia he saved so that Wes and Michael would stand alone as Orre's two legends.

But there's also the concept of humbling them like Pokemon Masters EX has done to their protags... well... except Lucas and Gloria.

So I'll think of three tiers for Wes and Michael's teams as secret boss fights. Tiers 1-3, 3 being the most powerful with the Double Battle format in mind.

Wes

Tier 1: Umbreon, Espeon, Metagross, Tyranitar, Houndoom, Feraligatr

Umbreon and Espeon first, establishing screens and sabotaging your opener with Snarl. Metagross feels too iconic to Colosseum's aesthetic to let go. Without it, he may as well be from Johto with that team line up. Metagross and Tyranitar can deliver with Sandstorm chip damage and defensive countermeasures to physical and special attackers respectively. With Umbreon's Snarl and the screens used previously they should last pretty long. His team is weak to fighting types but if you lead in with a Fighting type, his Espeon will take it out for sure. With Umbreon physically built to last, it won't be an easy first few turns.

Tier 2: Umbreon, Espeon, Suicune, Raikou, Entei, Metagross

This one would have rain be its main gimmick, Suicune and Raikou leading Rain Dance, Surf, and Thunder. When the rain stops Entei comes in after a few team members have fainted for revenge. Rain protects Metagross from fire.

Tier 3: Umbreon, Espeon/Metagross, Suicune, Raikou, Entei, Ho-oh

I'm imagining him as a secret boss with the lore that he gave his Espeon to Rui is some fun alternative to imagine. Ho-oh is well rounded in defense and offense with Sacred Fire, Brave Bird, Recover, and Protect with Bright Powder held. Ho-oh is there to signify Wes's status in Orre as a legend.

Michael

Tier 1: Flareon, Snorlax, Dusclops, Salamence, Lapras, Dugtrio

Flareon for one alternative starter. Dusclops imprisons your team's Protect and Trick Room. Snorlax Belly Drums besides Dusclops and Selfdestructs with Gluttony-activated Cutsap Berry. Lapras and Dugtrio may lead in as a Perish Song trapper, Dugtrio's Arena Trap and Substitute as key components.

Tier 2: Vaporeon, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Sableye, Electabuzz

Vaporeon for one alternative starter. Sableye Fake Outs and summons weather instantly with the Prankster ability for the birds to take advantage of. Electabuzz has Eviolite and will use Follow Me to draw your super effective attacks from the birds. Moltres has Heat Wave and Solar Beam with Sableye's Sunny Day and Helping Hand.

Tier 3: Jolteon, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Sableye, Lugia

Jolteon for a faster alternative starter that used Thunder Wave on your openers. Michael will switch Jolteon with a bird if both of your openers are ground types. Sableye Fake Outs and summons weather with Prankster. Articuno knows Weather Ball and will use Sableye's Rain Dance to shoot your Rhyperior down. Lugia will know Feather Dance and Psycho Boost but will be built to last with defensive stats and Calm Mind, Recovery and Leftovers held. Lugia is there to signify Michael's status as a legend in Orre.

Tier 3 is gimmicky for including the main bird for the two but in-case you haven't noticed, I've brought up Orre Pokemon up to SWSH and tried the best I can to rep them in ranked battles. Some of these strats are loosely based on strats I've used. Of course, nothing beats making your Pokemon oversized and flinging nukes every turn or a sword dog with a water spouting orca whale for mindless wins, TPC please free us from your hubris and give us PBR 2

Thanks for the ask! I like pondering this idea.

[beelshamburger]

I have been waiting for the moment that you say matchups are welcome aaaa!!! *squeals*

sorry if it's a bit long. I get talkative when someone wants to talk to me lmao.

also, english isn't my first language, so sorry if it's hard to understand, my vocab isn't very wide.

I am a shy person! but sometimes, if it's necessary, I can be sociable, I think? I'm not an introvert, but I'm not an extrovert either, so- ambivert ig

I'm awkward around people, even my own family. I wish I had a cool friend squad, but alas, I do not :(

I am very affectionate! I just want everyone to feel appreciated, and loved, but I think sometimes I act too nice to someone, and end up being annoying. maybe that's why I don't have any close friends.

I like watching anime/movies. genre would be romance, or comedy, or maybe slice of life, with a hint of drama in it. I also like reading, with the same genre.

I'm an animal lover! Unfortunately, I don't have a dog or a cat, or any pet (I have a fish, but c'mon? I can't cuddle that). That sucks :(

I hate loud and rude people, they just get on my nerves. But then I find myself being loud and rude too, and- I don't know how to feel about that.

I hate thiller and horror movies/books/tv shows. They freak me out, and I won't be able to sleep unless I'm hugged by someone, which is rare, so I don't sleep at all after watching something with horror in it. I won't hide the fact that I'm scared though, please just hug me 🥺

I look for patience and support in a relationship. I am a very, very, VERY emotional person, and I cry A LOT. And you know when you cry, and someone gets angry and tells you to stop crying, but it only fuels the tears? yeah, that happens a LOT with me, so I need someone who won't do that.

A listener too! I have a lot to talk about, all the feelings and stuff, but I've never had anyone I can talk too; no close friends, no way I can talk to my sister, or my family, because I know that their response can hurt my soul.

Someone who can just love me for me, I guess. Oof, that sound so clichè.

My perfect date? Haven't really thought much about it. For starters, a library/cafe would be nice. No casinos, or bars, and that stuff, cause I don't drink. Or gamble. Also, with someone who doesn't make me feel uncomfortable or awkward.

Maybe an aquarium would be cool. Or an amusement park? But, heads up, I don't like chocolate. Crazy right? Yeah, I get a lot of wierd comments for it from my family, but I don't like chocolate. So- don't bring me chocolate. Best bet is to just bring some chips or something.

My giving + receiving love language is physical touch and quality time. I love spending time with people I care about, where we can talk for hours and hours about anything and everything. Or cuddling and occasional kisses while watching a movie, or reading a book. That would be nice.

I think I'm done? I hope you got enough info :3 thank you if you decide to do this, and I don't mind waiting for an answer! take your time, I'm sure I'll love it! bye <3

- 🥞✨ -

Aww omg nonny just know you are loved aight~

ALSO NO CHOCOLATE OMG HOW DO YOU DO THAT (I am sorry as a chocolate lover it's jusr- holy crap OML H O W I LITERALLY cannot live without chocolate i would DIE AJSJSHSH)

And this was perfect, this is what I need when I make matchups or else I won't really be able to know who to match you up with ahshd

The love language thing? YES! THAT IS PERFECT AND JUST WHAT I NEED, NONNY YOU ARE AN EXEMPLAR CITIZEN AND I LOVE YOU THANK YOU!!

I hope I did a good job ;;;;

Now for the matchup!

I match you up with....(drum roll please....)

.

LEVIATHAN!!!!

You two immediately became friends, anime always brings people together ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

He fell for you pretty quickly, since you would always assure him he was doing great and you were just SO N I C E HOW WERE YOU SO PERFECT AND WHY WERE YOU NICE TO HIM? HE DIDN'T DESERVE IT (omg no honey yes you do holy shit T^T)

Now, you both took a while to get together since the two go you were just so ✨ akward ✨ with each other. Even if you sometimes took the lead, you'd end up blushing and making an excuse to go away after accidentally flirting or something like that. You only got together after Asmodeus threatened to ask you out and Levi got jealous, grabbing your hand and leading you to his room, telling his little brother that you were already busy since you had plans with him.

That evening you two sat on his couch, watching the new episode of an anime the two of you had started watching together. It was a bit awkward, since the two of you were blushing messes at the thought of "omg we're on a date."

That day, Leviathan couldn't help but look at you, instead of the anime. He had no idea what was going on, except that you looked stunningly beautiful.

For some reason, the anime began to take a thriller aspect, the two of you didn't really know it was HORROR! Still, Leviathan didn't want to say anything, and you were afraid to speak up in case he was really into the anime.

So now you two were scared shitless, watching something you didn't want to watch and in an awkward position.

At one point there was this jumpscare, and you let out a shriek, which scared Leviathan, which scared you and made you scream even more, which made you both fall off the couch in top of each other.

Leviathan couldn't help but blush as he looked at you in top of him. And before you could get off, he took a deep breath and mustered up all the courage he had and kissed you. You gasped against his lips but then kissed him back.

Afterwards you became a couple (finally!)

Your dates always consist of going to aquariums (the only place he can stand to go to) or watching your favorite anime movies in his room. Since you started dating, you began hugging, touching him more. And that? That made Leviathan absolutely crazy. Listen this boy is absolutely touch starved, so you know once he gets a bit of it, he's going to become as greedy as Mammon and ask for more.

He of course hugs you back too, at first it was hesitant and shy, but eventually he became more confident in touching you all the time. He will ask you for cuddles and kisses all the time!

Whenever you cry Levi will be there for you. The first few times he was a mess because he didn't know what to do, and he was afraid of messing up. He distanced himself, mostly because he thought it was his fault and that you were mad at him, and that made you feel even worse. When he found out he immediately came running to your room and for the first time ever, yelled "I LOVE YOU"

That night you spent it in each other's arms, cuddling. If you ever feel sad he will immediately stop what he's doing and listen to you, and after wards will spoil you so much (in a cute tsundere way hehe) if you need cuddles, he's there to give you cuddles. If you want kisses, he'll give you kisses. You want to watch your favorite movie for the 17th time in a row? He's got the popcorn ready.

He will listen to you and tell you that no matter what, he'll always be there for you, and then he'll tell you how much he loves you.

Sometimes while you're doing your anime dates he will suddenly grab you and kiss you, a flushed look on his face afterwards.

Honeslty, this man is just crazy for you, and he would literally do anything you ask him to! Your relationship is always filled with encouraging words, the two of you always cheering for each other!

His brothers are honeslty a bit jealous of your relationship (lmao poor boys) since they always see you two being so cute and adorable, cheering each other up!

[orionsangel86]

I was the one with the ask. I want to apologize. I didn't wanna come across as rude. I love your blog. It was an honest question, since I haven't seen any spoilers which indicate that Cas and Dean are gonna make up. Also I have only seen spoilers where they said that the conflicts goes on after ep 9. Last thing was that Jensen didn't mention Cas as a reason for Dean being sad. But I saw ppl saying that Dean is gonna be shedding tears over Cas. I'd like to know if there's any reference material.

Okay so the first thing I need to stress here as in all cases is this: PR is not showrunning. I know I know, we say it all the time. You can’t really rely on small soundbites from the actors taken from interviews and put into clickbait articles usually to satisfy a specific writers agenda depending on the article they are writing. 

The second thing to remember: People are going to hype up and sensationalise things on social media to gain attention, likes, notes, etc. You cannot rely on this information either.

What we actually know:

Misha said this: “Cas will return to the bunker and the boys. He’ll be sort of driven back into collaborating with them because we’re still confronting the big bad, which is God. But that tension between Cas and Dean will play out for some time, and we won’t really have a resolution to that. I think the audience, and frankly Cas, will finally understand what it is that’s upsetting Dean so much in episode 9. So we’re a ways off from that arc feeling like it’s resolved.”

This quote is from this article.

Then at DCCon the other weekend, the last question asked by Mel aka @/mishasdiary on Twitter, was basically to know if Dean and Cas patch things up and Jensen answered this:

“I will say this, there is an answer to your question in the show. It will be in episode 9 which we just finished. Let’s just say that Dean has a moment by himself, where he prays to Cas. That is a bit of a confession on why he feels the way he feels and why he treated Cas the way he treated him.”

You can see the answer here at about 58 minutes in (last question).

In your ask you sent me yesterday, you also referred to another article (link here) written with soundbites from Jensen. I believe you were referring to this:

"I think the state of his brother always worries Dean. That's who he fights for," Jensen Ackles told TV Guide. "When that support, that base strength in his life starts to waver and [he] starts to second guess himself, that will certainly affect Dean in a way of, 'I can't let him go down this road' or 'I need to figure out a way to help him out.' So it'll be a struggle, not against each other, but for each other. Sam is struggling to find a purpose and Dean is struggling to help Sam find purpose."

But this is standard talk from Jensen and it is also correct so I don’t see why anyone would read this and feel threatened about Dean’s relationship with Cas? Come on now, we aren’t like Bronly’s threatened by Cas’s mere presence. This is very true what Jensen is saying because the brothers are toxically codependent. But there is a true bond between them which has been poisoned over time. Yes Dean will be worried about Sam because Dean is always worried about Sam, but Sam is not part of the Dean and Cas break up narrative.

Jensen also had this to say which I thought was interesting:

[about Sam hypothetically dying] "That would have to be a bridge crossed when he came to it," Ackles said. "Right now, and for a long time, Sam's been the reason that Dean keeps fighting. If you take that away from him, then what does he have? Is there a will to keep going? I don't know how that would shape up from Dean's perspective. Maybe he finds something to fight for or maybe he finds somebody to fight with. Maybe he calls it quits."

So this is Jensen contemplating what life would be like for Dean without Sam, and he’s hardly saying “well if Sam died Dean would also want to die” because Jensen most likely knows that isn’t the case anymore. Bobo has been picking apart that particular arc ever since he wrote Red Meat. 

So anyway, brushing off Jensen’s interview aside as nothing even remotely alarming or concerning for DeanCas fans (because we do NOT see Sam as a threat to our ship), lets talk about the prayer. We got Jensen’s spoiler first, and given this was fresh in Jensen’s mind, only shortly after he filmed it, I reckon we can safely assume that what he has told us is at least somewhat accurate (though we cannot of course account for how this may be cut in the editing room).

Episode 9 is Bobo’s episode. Bobo is basically holding the mantle for the DeanCas emotional arc this season (and last season) so I fully expect this to be the next big turning point in Dean and Cas’s relationship. Jensen has confirmed that when Dean is alone, he prays to Cas.

This is already setting a super intimate scene. Dean rarely prays as it is. We haven’t seen him pray to Cas since season 9. The fact that he is alone and not with Sam also confirms the level of intimacy. We can assume that Dean sought privacy for this prayer.

Now, Jensen goes on to say that Dean will explain how he feels and why he treated Cas how he did. This is already sounding like a proper explanation and potentially an apology. We will learn the mystery of why Dean (in Misha’s words) has been acting like such a prick. I never had any doubt that they would eventually explain it. I trust Bobo has planned this all out and knows what he is doing. He likes exploring Dean’s emotional responses - anger comes from fear and worry. Dean is terrified. That is usually why he acts out. Bobo has previously confirmed this and it was even stated in the show itself in Bobo’s episode 14x09 via Kaia. I think that Dean’s treatment of Cas is based on fear. This is why we are so excited (when I say “we” here, I mean me and the general group of wonderful people I scream with daily about this dumb show aka a bunch of meta writers or at least meta literate people). So Jensen has confirmed that we will get a proper explanation of WHY he treated Cas and also HIS FEELINGS on the matter. 

The MOST interesting part of Jensen’s spoiler, is that he called the whole thing a CONFESSION. Dude. The last time Dean confessed to anything was in a church and it almost gave me a heart attack. Since that scene was the closest this show has ever come so far to Dean actually coming out of the fucking closet.

So not only is this an intimate prayer to Cas, an explanation of his bad treatment of Cas and an admittance of his feelings over the whole thing, its also a confession. 

Interesting choice of words Jensen. Confession to what exactly? Because this is starting to feel suspiciously like a very profound moment between our two boys. It’s clearly an important scene. 

Then Misha on top of this, has confirmed that Cas hears the prayer. Which yay for starters, and also think about how he explained the situation:

“But that tension between Cas and Dean will play out for some time, and we won’t really have a resolution to that. I think the audience, and frankly Cas, will finally understand what it is that’s upsetting Dean so much in episode 9. So we’re a ways off from that arc feeling like it’s resolved.”

You have to read this entire paragraph as one: 

The tension will play out for sometime but Cas and the audience will understand what the deal is in episode 9. So we are a way off from that arcs resolution.

When Misha was talking about the resolution being way off, he was talking about the time between now and episode 9. He confirms that it is at least somewhat resolved in episode 9. That’s what I interpret as being implied here anyway. 

This plus Jensen’s entire answer was to the question “when will Dean and Cas patch things up?” Jensen answered “episode 9″.

Like??? How are people misunderstanding this and blowing it so far out of proportion? Bitter people are so desperate to cling to their negativity that they are totally misinterpreting the information they are being given. It’s extremely frustrating.

Anyway, the one other gripe you had was about Dean’s prayer being about Sam or because he is worried about Sam. Okay except that has come out of absolutely nowhere other than bitters who are actually threatened by Sam which I find utterly ridiculous. So what if the prayer is triggered by Sam? Maybe Sam is in a perilous situation and Dean doesn’t know what to do so he prays. I mean, is that really so bad? Dean usually IS motivated by Sam, so it’s not exactly a huge deal. The main thing to focus on here is that the prayer will be about Dean and Cas and THEIR issues. It will resolve THAT ARC. The arc that doesn’t involve Sam. 

Honestly, I don’t think that Dean’s prayer will be triggered by Sam though. Because Sam has never been part of this particular arc that Bobo has been writing. I mean maybe its possible that the whole thing could be triggered by Sam yelling at Dean to sort out his shit with Cas because they are stronger together and Sam is fed up of being stuck in the middle in which case GREAT because I would LOVE to see more exasperated Sam telling his brother to talk to his estranged husband. 12x10 is one of my all time favourite episodes BECAUSE OF SAM.

But again, I don’t think that an intimate private prayer confession from Dean to Cas will have anything to do with Sam because quite frankly, I can’t see how to fit him in a way that makes sense outside of my own 12x10 repeat above. 

So please, stop panicking over things we don’t know. Stop making negative assumptions. Focus on the good stuff and enjoy what the show is giving us right now. I’m still riding the DeanCas break up scene high because that shit was romantic AF and no one can tell me otherwise. I’m still amazed that in this shows final season Dean and Cas’s emotional arc is getting pushed into the A plot. In all the years of watching this show this has only ever been the case once before and that was in 13x01-13x06. This is a huge deal. Enjoy it and stop letting negative Nancy’s drag you down.

One of your favourite ships is KawaSemi? And you haven't received one for them yet, right? So please, a KawaSemi one! Any one of the prompts would make me happy, so please go for it!

 anon id die for u...ig i’ll go with “friend aren’t allowed to kiss one another”

Out of all the unlikely relationships between the volleyball club members, the friendship between Kawanishi and Semi was the most puzzling one. At first glance, they didn’t seem that different from one another but, looking closer, they definitely were. 

Kawanishi was an apathetic second year, never really caring much about team spirit or giving his all. He was tall and lanky and chronically tired, always yawning and stretching out his aforementioned lanky limbs. 

And Semi, well, Semi Eita was the exact opposite. He was gung-ho and put firey passion into everything he did. Being the setter? He trained, endlessly. And when Shirabu replaced him as a starter, he put everything he could into fine-tuning his serves, making sure he’ d be the best pinch server the team could utilize. He was loud and he was brash but, even so, he and Kawanishi were friends. 

He always made sure Kawanishi dried his hair during post-morning-practice showers, throwing a towel to him and saying “Oi, Taichi, I know you’re tired but you’re gonna get a goddamn cold if you don’t hurry up and dry off.” 

They baked muffins in the dormitory kitchen together; lemon and poppyseed. 

And, even more surprising than their friendship, was that it wasn’t really a friendship. It was a budding romance (even though the only two people that didn’t know it was a romance were Kawanishi and Semi). 

Everyone knew (except Ushijima, who never knew) and everyone placed bets. Shirabu bet they’d get together by Spring Tournament, Yamagata said before graduation. Reon said “please don’t violate their privacy, guys,” before agreeing with Yamagata. 

“Taichi?” Semi asked, walking back from practice with the younger, trailing by his side. 

“Mm?” 

“Are we going to keep in touch after graduation?” Semi’s voice wavered, just a little, as he spoke and he looked up at the sky. Hues of orange and yellow, like a deep brushstroke in the atmosphere, painted the sky, clouds dotting it. A cool, almost-spring breeze blew through Kawanishi’s hair and he inhaled, slowly. 

“I don’t know,” he replied. 

“I think we should,” Semi declared. “That would be nice, wouldn’t it?”

Kawanishi’s eyes widened a little before a quick grin passed through his lips. Semi was the epitome of Kawanishi’s existence and he couldn’t deny it. 

“It would be,” he agreed. They continued to walk again when Semi stopped, once more. 

Kawanishi flashed him a confused look as Semi studied the ground with a twisted up expression. Gears were turning in his head and Kawanishi would’ve paid the world to hear those thoughts. 

“Taichi?”

“Yeah?”

“I think we should kiss.” 

Kawanishi’s heart may have stopped beating. “Friends aren’t allowed to kiss one another, Eita.” 

“Then maybe I don’t want to be friends anymore,” Semi shrugged. “Maybe I want to stop this friendship before its too late and I do something I’m not allowed to do.”

“I see,” Kawanishi’s words fell off his tongue in a jumbled mess. 

“What do you say to that?” Semi asked, eyes drifting up to look at Kawanishi. He was gorgeous and, if he was dreaming, Kawanishi never wanted to wake up again. 

“I think that’s a good idea,” Kawanishi answered, stepping three paces forward, arm outstretched, to make good on Semi’s request. He cupped Semi’s jaw, soft and unblemished skin feeling sinfully right in his palm.

Semi kissed back, unadulterated love rushing through Semi’s mouth right into Kawanishi. Tenatively, the younger took a quick swipe of his tongue across Semi’s bottom lip and relished into a low squeak of a moan Semi let out in response. 

It wasn’t like he’s never kissed before (he kissed two girls in middle school, back when he was still running around trying to convince himself he was straight) but kissing Semi felt like his first kiss. He never wanted to stop. 

Pulling away, Semi was breathless, cheeks flushed, when he said, “that was nice.” 

“It was,” Kawanishi agreed. Then, “we should do it again.” 

“Definitely,” Semi beamed.

send me a prompt from this post pls

[blueberryrock]

This is a short story I wrote with my week off from my main series, hope y'all enjoy, it's just a lot of bellow diamond, so enjoy <3

(Blue's first ball and blue's pov)

I nervously drum my fingers on my arm, today is a very very big day for me and the entire gem race.

Not only is today my first ball, but today White and Yellow diamond will announce that a new diamond has emerged, me, then they'll want me to walk across the ballroom and sit on a throne.

It sounds simple enough, it really is simple, but I have a feeling that something will go terribly wrong today. I pace back and forth in the hallway that connects to the ballroom.

The more I pace the more I get anxious and excited. I walk over to a full-length mirror that White diamond had put for me to look at. Both White and Yellow decided it would be a grand idea to look nice, so Yellow had her pearl brush and braid my long dark blue hair, and White helped me pick out a gorgeous gown.

The gown its self is fairly simple, but the design is gorgeous. For starters, the neckline is low enough to show my entire gem and a bit of breast, and there is a slit by my legs that goes from the bottom of my dress (covering my feet) almost to my hip, this time instead of my normal one strap robe, the straps go all the way to my wrists and the gown is a beautiful dark blue. It's also very sparkly.

But White diamond allowed me to go barefoot, because I accidentally broke the heel part of one of White diamond's heel shoe. Although Yellow wasn't too happy about that, but if White diamond allows it, I will do it.

I go back to nervously pacing down the small cold hallway, my hand starts to shake from sheer nervousness, my hand instantly stops when I get interrupted by the door opening at the end of the hallway and the older diamonds step into the cramped hallway.

My eyes get immediately pulled towards White diamond. She has almost the exact same dress, except it ends at her mid-calf, her dress only has straps instead of a full sleeve, her dress is a grayish-white, and she is wearing her normal heels/sandals.

"Ah moonlight you look so beautiful, are you ready?" White diamond asks me. I blush from a new compliment. I nod as look over at Yellow diamond.

When I first emerged a few months ago, the first thing I noticed about Yellow diamond was how gorgeous she was. With her golden eyes, her short and golden seemingly soft hair, and her beautiful skinny but muscular frame. This time, since it's supposed to be formal, Yellow diamond had her golden armor polished so well, I can see my face in the reflection.

"Blue?" Yellow diamond says to get my attention, I quickly snap back to reality.

"Wha-" I blink a few times.

"You were staring at me again" Yellow diamond crosses her arms behind her back.

"Well nothing else is worth looking, besides you" I smirk, as Yellow diamond's entire face gets darker.

"Well..I.." Flustered, Yellow diamond's face just gets darker and darker by the second, she tries to say something but White diamond interrupts.

"Hey, let's get this ball over with quickly" White diamond pulls a still blushing Yellow diamond by the arm towards the ballroom door. I follow behind them, but I move to the side when Yellow diamond walks out.

I take a shaky unneeded breath in, okay Blue, as long as you stick to what White diamond showed you you'll be fine, just like we practiced. White diamond turns and puts her hands on my shoulders.

"Relax, if you do everything I told you to do, you will do just fine" White diamond reassures me.

I nod. The ballroom doors open again and beautiful music fills the room, White diamond removes her arms from my shoulders exits the room and as soon as the doors close again, I eagerly move in front of the doors.

From what I can hear, they turned down the music and White diamond has already gotten halfway through her "speech". Anxiety starts creeping into me as White diamond almost finishes the speech.

"And now, introducing your new diamond" I feel myself deflate as I let out the breath I was holding "Blue Diamond" White diamond finishes.

The big doors in front of my open and I slowly walk into the room. All gems from each court is here, and all of them stare at me. I nervously freeze where I stand, I look up to where White and Yellow diamond are sitting, right next to Yellow diamond's throne is my similar blue one.

Yellow diamond notices that I haven't move an inch, she gives me a reassuring smile and motions with her head to come closer.

I take a shaky breath in, I break off all the ice that was on my feet, luckily my dress covers the ice, I nervously cross the cold ballroom floor. Once I get to my seat, I make sure my dress is covering my bare feet, and I put my shaky hands in my lap.

I start to relax a bit as the music starts up again, and everyone is focused on dancing and not me. Watching all the little gems dance on the floor is making me want to try and do it. I glance over at Yellow diamond, she has one knee on her leg and is resting her head on her hand.

She looks rather bored, maybe she'd like to join me. I then look up at White diamond, she is watching all the other gems dance, I wonder if she'd let me and Yellow diamond join them.

I smile and blush a little at the thought of me and Yellow diamond dancing, I don't really know how to dance very well, I look back at Yellow diamond, but I bet she knows how to.

I poke White diamond in the legs to get her attention. "What?" She says annoyed.

"I wanted to know if you would allow me and Yellow diamond to dance with the other gems" I cheerfully ask.

"I suppose so, but if you cause to much commotion, you will have to sit back on your throne" White Diamond looks back at the dancing gems.

I excitedly look back at Yellow diamond, this time she shoots a confused look. I excitedly jump out of my seat and run to Yellow diamond's throne.

"W-wait" She tries to say to stop me, but I grab her by the wrist and drag her to the ballroom floor. I shiver slightly when my bare feet hit the tiled floor.

A group of what I think is hessonites quickly move out of our way, I let go of a shocked Yellow diamond and I quickly whip around to face her so quickly, that the end of my braid hits me in the face.

I move my braid over my shoulder, and I quickly put one arm on her shoulder and one arm around Yellow diamond's slim waist. She nervously does the same.

"So, Yellow diamond" I say gently.

"Umm, y-you can just call me Yellow" Yellow answers nervously.

"Okay then, Yellow" her name gently rolls off my tongue "do you know how to dance?" I calmly ask.

Yellow shakes her head no "White, never taught me how to"

I smile "I can try to show you if you'd like" I give her a flirty smile, and she blushes "i'm not to good at it, but I asked your little pearl if she could show me some stuff"

"You do have good hand placement" I move her hand up a little "so here is something simple, take two steps forward and one step back"

"O-okay" Yellow slowly takes two steps forward and one step back.

"See, simple" I smile at her.

"Y-yeah, this is not so bad" Yellow smiles back, she decides to pick up the pace a bit. "Do you want to try a twirl?" I ask.

"Yes" she smiles.

"Here I'll do it to you" I say, I grab her hand and I start to twirl her, but midway through she grabs my dress and I accidentally release her hand. I quickly catch her and pull her to her feet.

She is so close our noses are almost touching and I can feel her warm breath on my face. She impulsively decides to give me a quick but passionate kiss on the lips. When she pulls away I can feel almost entire face heat up and turn a darker shade of blue.

I look at Yellow, she is just as shocked and flustered as me. I unwrap my arms from around her waist.

"I-I am sorry" she slowly starts to back away "I-I didn't me-" I cut her off by grabbing her waist and pulling her into a deeper kiss.

I break the kiss "Yellow, you're fine, I actually found the quite lovely" she manages to blush even harder.

"Now, I didn't invite you over here to just stand around, let's get back to dancing" I grab her hand once more and pull her into our original position.

After two songs we decide to sway around and talk. "For the record, you didn't say a word to me, all you did was grab my hand and pull me to the ballroom floor" Yellow wraps her arms around my neck and I wrap mine around her waist.

"Did I?" I tilt my head to think.

"Yes, yes you did" Yellow smiles warmly at me "I have multiple witnesses around me to prove my point"

I shrug and smile at her "guess I did, I am very glad I did it though, this is nice" I bury my face in the crook of Yellow's warm neck.

"Yeah, this is very nice" Yellow rests her head on mine. The music starts to pick up and I, unfortunately, have to remove my head from Yellow's warm neck.

"Okay, last song then we should sit down" I firmly say.

"Definitely" Yellow agrees.

We go back to two steps forward and one step back routine, since the music is a bit faster, we decide to change it to five steps forward and two steps back.

It goes great for a while, and I even got to do a perfect twirl with Yellow. My eyes were mostly focused on the sometimes blushing yellow diamond in front of me, but from out of the corners of my eyes many gems are dancing like we are.

I smile from the thought of gems already following my lead. For the rest of the fairly long song, my attention is mainly on the beautiful diamond in front of me. Stars I have just met her and I'm already in love, the way she smiles, the awesome way that her golden eyes sparkle when the light hits just right.

The way that I had to show her a very some dance, stars, I wish this moment could last forever. "Stars, how long is this song" Yellow asks.

"Do you want to stop?" I almost completely stop moving "we can stop if you like"

"What? No, no, I don't want to stop. But I'm just noticing how long this song is" Yellow warmly smiles at me, I let out a sigh of relief.

We continue to dance around until Yellow decides to try and twirl me, as soon as she lifts me hand, she accidentally steps on my shimmering dress. I clumsily trip over my own feet and I start to fall back, but before I hit the ground, the sound of a sickening rip and shattered glass cuts through the room.

A lot of little things break my fall, but my wrists and butt are very sore, I let out a small whine and I sit up, I wince as I rub my sore wrists. I look at my now ruined dress. A long tear has formed from one of the slits in my dress, the tear went from the very bottom of the dress all the way to the very bottom of my bra.

My entire face starts to heat up as all the gems that have been dancing stare at me. "Oh my stars" Yellow lends me her gloved hand. "I'm so sorry Blue...i didn't mean to...it was an accident..." Yellow nervously stammers.

Once I'm on my feet, I look down at where I landed, a small crater with a bunch of orangeish speckles has formed where I landed. I quickly dust myself off and summon a veil to wrap around my waist.

"Yellow, I think I landed and shattered bunch of hessonites" I sadly say.

"Its-" Yellow gets cut off.

"Ok, I think that's going to be all for this ball" White diamond slides herself off of her throne and walks over to us.

"You two, my chambers, now" she quietly hisses. She places her hands on our backs and leads us out of the now almost deserted ballroom.

I hang my head lowly as we walk through the crowded halls, a sense of dread builds in me as we make our way closer to White diamond's chambers.

I gulp as the big white doors close behind us. White allows me to change in my normal one strap dress before she tears into us.

"Do you know how much damage you two caused?" White diamond yells.

I look up to say something, but Yellow quickly smacks my hand as a sign to tell me not to say anything. I sadly look back down at the ground.

"Twenty hessonites" White diamond angrily paces back and forth in front of us "you two managed to shatter twenty hessonites just by landing on them, you both are lucky that I don't put you in a bubble or worse"

White stops in front of us, she angrily pinches the bridge of her nose "now go before I decide to put you in a bubble".

Yellow grabs my hand and literally drags me out of White diamonds chambers. Once the doors close, I notice tears start to form in her eyes.

"B-blue I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for you to get in trouble" Yellow quietly cries.

I gently place my hand on her shoulder "hey its okay, you're fine" I wipe away a stray tear. She looks at me with tearful eyes "I want to say something before I have to go".

"What" she wipes away her tears.

I place a quick kiss on her lips and her entire face gets a few shades darker "thanks for dancing with me, and I love you".

Before she can reply back I quickly turn around and head for my chambers. I make it at least twenty feet before Yellow calls out " and I, you".

A warm feeling creeps into me, I wonder how much she thinks I actually mean it because it's a lot more than she truly knows.

Maybe this eternal life won't be so bad after all.

Well I hope y'all enjoyed that, except a new chapter of Gemlings next Saturday, bye
