Tag Game: How Cuddleable Are Your OCs?

tagged by @lady-merian - thanks!

Let's see... I just reread the Spacepirates AU, so we'll narrow the field to that

Phelan - 5/10 - now, granted, he seems to initiate all these hugs and would probably not know what to do if someone came to him first, but he does have the most hugs in the story...

Elwin - 1/10 - wet cat vibes

David - 7/10 - would love to give a hug if appropriate

Harold - 10/10 - smol!child will hug anyone; including Elwin

Eileen - 10/10 - she's a mom, she gives good hugs (and good advice)

The Wild Goose - 4/10 for the impracticality of hugging a spaceship but her crew are fond of her and may try

Agnes - 6/10 - more inclined to acts of service to show affection, but willing to reciprocate

Riane - 8/10 - also a mom, out of hugging practice

Joel - 2/10 - feral racoon vibes

2023 Media consumption

God tier: media that invoked blorbo-induced euphoria, mini-obsession, or just haunt me

White Cat Legend (大理寺日志, Dali Court Journal) - donghua, seasons 1 and 2. The new vice minister of the imperial court of criminal justice is, unfortunately, a cat demon. Tang Dynasty workplace comedy/political intrigue. Lovely animation, sick fight scenes, and catboys.

Scissor Seven (刺客伍六七) - donghua, seasons 2-3. Netflix summary: "Seeking to recover his memory, a scissor-wielding, hairdressing, bungling quasi-assassin stumbles into a struggle for power among feuding factions." Season 1 was just ok at best, season 2 was great, season 3 was phenomenal, season 4 was meh.

Derkholm duology by Diana Wynne Jones (reread)

God Troubles Me / Hanhua Riji (汉化日记) - donghua. Cringefail loser girl Su Moting, her cringefail smartphone god, and her cringefail cat (demon) have to save the world. But first she has to go to work. And get takeout. And watch dramas. The premise sounds SO cringe but it's well-executed and hilarious. And actually a pretty sharp but good-humored window into the delights and horrors of modern everyday life in china.

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt (reread). At the peak of the California gold rush, hitmen Charlie and Eli Sisters are hired for a job that Eli is liking less and less. 1st-person perspective of a stone-cold killer, where it turns out the killer is just Some Guy. Who is kind of awkward. And pathetic. And maybe not very bright.

Gobelins graduation animated shorts: "Chroniques de l'Eau Salée" (2021), "Last Summer" (2022), and "Go Fishboy" (2022). Available to watch on YouTube. Got caught up on 2021 and 2022 and these are the ones that will haunt me.

Ranma 1/2 by Rumiko Takahashi - manga (reread). Teenage martial artist is cursed to transform into a hot girl whenever he's splashed with cold water. Still some of the funniest and most deranged comedy I've ever read.

"Golden Age" - short story by Naomi Novik set in the Temeraire universe. Hilarious and delightful Feral Temeraire AU.

Just ok: media that I didn't hate, and maybe even enjoyed

Assorted nonfiction

The Electricity of Every Living Thing by Katherine May. Bored. DNF

Crying in HMart by Michelle Zauner. DNF. Felt like the book could have been 1/4 of its length. Mostly nothing new.

Wood in American Life: 1776-2076 by WG Youngquist and HO Fleischer. Wood use in America. Really makes you realize just how many things are now made out of plastic but used to be wood. And how much more difficult and expensive it was to make and replace objects.

Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil - how some big data algorithms reinforce preexisting inequality, and how to improve them.

[grigori77]

Celebrating International Women's Day this year, once again I'm giving a shout-out to some of the amazing ladies, both real and fictional, that I really admire, both new on the scene and since my formative years. They all live rent free in my head and I think they're awesome!

COURTNEY LaPLANTE, the incredible frontwoman from up-and-coming new metalcore band Spiritbox, who are ALL pretty amazing, but she is in a whole different league. The way she can switch from beautifully husky, gently angelic clean vocals to bloody terrifying feral demon dirty vocals AND BACK at the drop of a hat is truly astounding ...

VIOLA DAVIS, one of my favourite actresses working in Hollywood today, an undeniable queen and now a bonafide BADASS too thanks to her recent starring role as Naniska, the General of the Agojie, the legendary Dahomie Amazons, in The Woman King. These days she's PROBABLY best known as THE BADDEST BITCH in all of the DCEU, ARGUS director Amanda Waller, but these are just two of a whole CAREER of incredible performances for which she's rightly become a true A-lister ...

ELLEN RIPLEY, as played by the equally awesome Sigourney Weaver in the Alien movies. Quite simply THE GREATEST cinematic female lead protagonist OF ALL TIME, Ripley is about as definitive as strong female lead protgnonists get, the scourge of terrifying hostile aliens throughout the galaxy ...

POWER, from the acclaimed new anime series Chainsaw Man. I know, I know, she could SO EASILY have just been another classic teenage boy's wet dream anime girl, but half-demon fiend Power, like many of the show's female characters, is definitely a significant step away from the cliched norms, a total, undeniable force of (super)nature, unapologetic deluded self-promoter and thoroughly adorable chaos gremlin, who's quickly becoming one of my very favourite anime characters.

RINKO KIKUCHI, probably my VERY FAVOURITE Japanese actress EVER, thanks in no small part to her DEFINITIVE turn as Jaeger pilot Mako Mori in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim, although I first discovered her as gloriously idiosyncratic demolitions expert Bang Bang in Rian Johnson's criminally overlooked The Brothers Bloom. Also rightly known for her acclaimed turn in Babel, we most recently saw her in typically fine form in Michael Mann's agreeably edgy new true crime series Tokyo Vice ...

KRISTEN STEWART. Yeah, I know, some folk are STILL likely to be rolling their eyes at this choice, but ever since Panic Room I've ALWAYS thought she was something special, EVEN when she was doing Twilight. Okay, so it's taken her A LONG TIME to shake the godawful spectre of Bella Swan, but she's DEFINITELY pulled it off by now, playing some truly AMAZING characters in a bunch of really great movies, most notably Underwater (see above), the criminally maligned and unjustly ignored Charlie's Angels reboot and her incredible recent turn as the late Diana, Princes of Wales, in Spencer.

DELENN, as played by Mira Furlan (Lost), the ambassador of the alien race, the Minbari, in one of my very favourite TV shows of all time, Babylon 5. From humble (albeit also EXTREMELY mysterious) beginnings, Delenn went on to (rightly) become THE main female lead in the show, carrying the weight of one hell of a sprawling, epic sci-fi saga plot on her more-than-able shoulders.

KATY O'BRIAN. Basicallythe core inspiration (at least in a roundabout way) for the lead character in my ongoing online fantasy novel series Never Split the Party, Kesla Shoon, Katy is 100% what I love in a genuine physically powerful woman - tough as nails, sexy as hell and, paradoxically, an absolute sweetheart. I first stumbled across her as George, the very best character in Syfy's guilty pleasure TV series Z Nation, but she's finally REALLY getting the attention she's long deserved, already earning fast fan-favourite status as Jentorra in Ant Man & the Wasp: Quantumania.

ZOE SALDANA. Ever since she started to come up in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, she's been steadily growing herself one hell of a reputation playing a succession of strong, frequently badass women in cinema, most notably in The Losers, James Cameron's Avatar movies and OF COURSE as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy.

SOFIA BOUTELLA. Ever since I first saw her busting some truly incredible moves in those glorious "Keep Up" Nike ads from the mid 00s, I have always been SUCH a big fan of this incredible dancer-turned-actress. She first REALLY captured our attention in the first Kingsman movie, but she's shone ever brighter since in the likes of Star Trek Beyond, Atomic Blonde, Climax and Hotel Artemis. Personally I CANNOT WAIT to see what she does with THE LEAD ROLE in Zack Snyder's incoming new sci-fi epic Rebel Moon ...

ALISON MOYET. One of my favourite female vocalists when I was growing up, I recently rediscovered her music when I started one of my music fan deep-dives through her entire back catalogue, and I'm absolutely LOVING IT. Starting out in the frustratingly short-lived early 80s electro pop group Yazoo with Erasure's Vince Clarke, she truly came to fame with her dynamite solo debut album Alf, as well as a killer cover of That Ole Devil Called love, but she's been going strong ever since thanks to one of the greatest voices around.

ANNIE LENNOX, formerly of The Tourists and The Eurythmics. Another one of the 80s all-time great frontwomen, Annie is a statuesque Scottish goddess who is rightly best known for her SECOND tour of duty with multi-talented musician Dave Stewart, but went on to have an equally astounding career as a solo singer-songwriter with a string of masterful records from the 90s right up to the present. Add to that her undeniable ICON status in the LGBTQIA+ community and you've got a bonafide androgynous goddess on your hands ...

GRACE JONES. Ever since she played Zula in Conan the Destroyer, Mayday in A View to a Kill and one seriously STRANGE vampire in Vamp, I've been a fan of this Jamaican model/actress/singer and undeniable fashion ICON. She continues to be a wonderfully weird and truly unique individual with her own unapologetically challenging style to this very day, and I love her for it.

DEBORAH CHOW. A fantastic up-and-coming Canadian filmmaker, who made a modest splash with her feature film The High Cost of Living before cutting her teeth on a series of impressive TV directing gigs on the likes of Copper, Reign and Mr Robot before truly coming into her own on The Mandalorian, which directly led to her helming THE ENTIRETY of 2022's rightly acclaimed Obi Wan Kenobi series. I'm really looking forward to whatever she does next.

CHARLIZE THERON. If there's one actress I've become a fan of mainly through her playing GENUINELY UNSTOPPABLE kickass women, it's Ms. Theron. The South African-born actress looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when she's stalking down a catwalk in her Dior ads, but as far as I'm concerned she looks HER VERY BEST when she's taking roomfuls of men apart with her bare hands in Atomic Blonde or a big fucking axe in The Old Guard, which will soon get a sequel I for one CANNOT WAIT FOR ...

MARISHA RAY, ASHLEY JOHNSON & LAURA BAILEY, the Ladies of Critical Role. Sure, there have been other women who've come and gone in a variety of excellent guest slot roles through the years the live-play TTRPG webcast series has been going (from Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, Ashly Burch, Sumalee Montano, Mica Burton and Aimee Carrero to, of course, the legendary Aabria Iyengar), but these three have always been the core, the heart and the undeniable BACKBONE of this amazing ongoing D&D adventure, and long may they all continue to reign ...

[perrydowning]

Hi Perry, hope you're okay. Saw your post about THE scene (the shirtless scene obviously 👀),, and it got me thinking, do you remember your thoughts when you first watched? were you spoiled? im talking because, to this day, that scene is probably the most shocking of all star wars for me. how did rian get away with it? 'no guys, we REALLY need him shirtless, trust me' and i just-- *giggling and crying and blushing* yes, rian, YES. also, the few scars I could see were given by Rey?? like, there's one on the shoulder, and the other one on the lower half where she kicked him during the fight-- that woman unconsciously marked him MINE like a soulmate au

I was really spoiled going in because I wanted to hit the ground writing, so I knew it was coming. I might have even seen a badly filmed clip. 

Since Rian Johnson had tweeted the red string of fate something like a year prior, I was already sure he was Reylo. What I was genuinely pleased to see was how he really did attempt to bring the female gaze to Star Wars, as well as some fairly blatant yoni imagery. That dude listens to his woman and it shows. 

I also loved how much the fanbros were going to lose their gosh darned tiny minds. And boy, did they deliver.

Now, I’ll tell you what did shock the hell out of me. Rey just … accepting Han’s death once she saw his tiddies. Got all hanky panky in the smut hut then dug around the Falcon for some lip gloss and mascara before putting on Ben’s old clothes and having Chewie drive her to space prom. Like, girl … If any of us had written—in the TFA era—Rey shrugging off patricide because she was dicknotized the comments would have been brutal.

As to Rey scarring up her fella, we all know she’s a feral little sand goblin.

Thank you for asking, luv! You are dear to me.

[domibomz]

im so happy i found you via google images lmao!! I NEED MORE DARK CRYSTAL ARTISTS IN MY FEED PLEASE AND THANK YOU!! Also, love the headcanon of some of the gelfling having whiskers. that's mega slay thinking

personally very excited for Anakin to maim someone in Redolent, like was totally gunning for him to tear out that assholes throat with his mech hand. just! feral!Anakin! Violence!! looking forward to it so much.

thank you for blessing us with this fic

He’s one step away from straight out ripping someone’s jugular out with his teeth honestly. I’m channeling my inner Rian Johnson for this one so we can all hate on some piece of shit richer than god fuck nuts we’ve all met in real life. Anakin is 10+ years of my inner rage of working with the public, he is all of our want to just leap across a table at someone and going absolutely feral. I too want to grab a man by the throat and threaten to chew his fingers off lmao

[these-are-the-first-steps]

what if rian johnson was co writer of tfa and tros when Sabe was Rey's grandmother

Tbh with you, anon, I think tfa was a perfect star wars movie for what it needed to be. It remains the best film of the ST. And I actually didn’t like tlj when it came out because it was clearly a six hour movie crammed into two and a half and I didn’t feel like Rian pulled it off. It took too long to get to the points it wanted to make and imo chose the wrong scenarios to make them- aka “The only real difference between the empire/FO and the rebellion/resistance is money” (which I really really liked and is a theme also reflected in the books that came out- too bad they chose a weird casino escapade for it??), and “Sometimes things fail and it’s a disaster and that’s just the way it is and you have to eat it if you want to keep going”. They didn’t know how to write for a disillusioned Luke Skywalker and Kylo was half baked at best.

Honestly all of tlj was half baked. It needed another year of pre-pro to become its best, and it couldn’t get it because of disney and their shitty “schedules”.

All this to say that I don’t know how much better TROS would have been with Rian because the notice was so so short. Do I think we would have gotten a happier ending? Yeah, I do, unless it was disney dictating Kylo die (who knows) in which case it would have ended the same. I think it would have been a little smarter and less plot hole-y. Frankly TROS set the bar in the sewer it’s so low, so even a disjointed Rian sequel would have been mediocre on the surface but 50x better than what JJ Abrams put out. So maybe that’s a win? We would have been disappointed either way, to be honest with you.

Otherwise, I like Rey being nobody. I don’t want her to be anyone’s granddaughter. I want her to be a sad but optimistic feral little sand rat who knows what she wants and takes it while maintaining a heart. Why does she need to have any fancy relatives to be that and still be attractive and still make an impact? Why do we still try to pigeonhole ourselves with all that?

Thanks for the message, anon, sorry I wrote an essay. I guess I have Thoughts these days. 🫠

[ilentari]

“I don’t like cats much,” Izuku grumbled quietly. “Dogs are better.”

Izuku, you adopted the biggest and most feral cat that you could have found.

He really did 😂 Rian and I laugh about that a lot. Izuku is a cute puppy who went and adopted a big feral cat for a dad 😂

[munsontm]

Please give Great Uncle Wayne babysitting duty (workingmanwayne)

@workingmanwayne

It was the first summer he'd seen since rehab. Things were odd, slowly returning to normal, but still strange. He still woke up fuzzy-brained and exhausted, like he hadn't slept through the night and had instead been out drinking whole bottles of vodka again, chased with thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. The doc said that feeling would continue for a while despite his clean system, but he also had some brain thing called ADHD. He asked if it could kill him. When the doc said no, he stopped caring about it. They were supposed to help him with drugs and alcohol, not his wild brain. He didn't need a professional to tell him his brain was wired differently. That'd been well documented for years. All he wanted was to go home. Well, to the new home, Steve had been preparing in his absence with uncle Wayne. A fresh start, they called it.

The fresh start is nice. It's by the perfect California beach with an oak decking that leads down to the sand and far enough outside Los Angeles that they needed a car to drive into the city. There's peace and quiet; it's pretty beautiful, actually. "You don't gotta go back to Indiana, ya know?" Eddie proposed to his uncle one morning when they were sat together on the deck bench, warm summer sunlight streaming over them, and Eddie's three kids over the way playing noisily in a paddling pool he and Wayne spent the previous hour blowing up, then filling it with water. Joany waved at them from the pool's edge, seeking their attention to watch her splash about like she'd done something impressive. According to the little miss herself, she was meant to be a dragon. It made Eddie laugh. Yeah, she was his blood, alright, and he made sure she knew she was the most fearsome dragon of all. "They'd love for you to stay here," he continued, gesturing to the kids while lighting a cigarette. Rehab might have kicked his habit of the hard stuff, but the cigarettes kept him sane and away from temptations.

"Permanently, m'saying. Stay in Cali permanently." Wayne had been invaluable the past few months, from convincing Eddie into rehab in the first place for the sake of his family to helping his son-in-law with their trio of feral goblins. Neither Sam nor Rian were related to Wayne by blood or Eddie. But they'd been Wayne's grandsons and Eddie's kids since the moment they were born. To the boys and Joan, Wayne was gramps and paw paw and hearing it made Eddie smile every single time. Sometimes he slipped and would refer to Wayne as his dad, then get embarrassed about it. Wayne also gained another son when Eddie unofficially married Steve in 1991. The point was that they were all family. Not the ideal family society wanted them to have. No, their family was much better than that.

Eddie leaned back, head turned up to release a puff of smoke into the bright blue sky, basking momentarily in the rays. He never quite appreciated the sun as much as he did now. Funny what an accidental overdose did to a person. "There's plenty of room for you. Honestly, I think Steve bought the place with you in mind." Satan bless his husband and his domestic inclinations. Yet, Eddie could not bring himself to say that maybe he needed Wayne there too. After everything, he still felt like a burden to his uncle, causing him nothing but worry and grief. "Would you at least think about it, please?" Finally, he looked over at the elder Munson with pleading eyes as the very image of the miniature version suddenly skipped over to them, soaking wet from the water. Eddie tossed his cigarette into the fancy-ass marble ashtray Steve had gotten. He never did understand his husband's love of fine decor, but he loved him all the same.

Grabbing a nearby towel, Eddie scooped Joan up into his lap, though not without a noticeable tremble in his arms, the strain hidden well in his adoring smile. "Hey, short stuff. Pretty sure that paw paw over here just announced his intentions to make everyone pancakes." Armed with an excited four-year-old and their matching smiles, how could grandpa say no? Then Joan quickly called to her big brothers that Wayne was making pancakes, and Eddie knew he'd won amidst the childish screams of delight. He shrugged just a bit smugly at Wayne, while silently mouthing...

Sorry, dad.

Hey after seeing that absolute trash fire post from Callout I SS and copied the link and reported them. Hopefully that cuts it off before the shitstorm hits.

It's really concerning what huge leaps they took with their accusations, it's all so deeply reactionary and clearly a desperation to feel validated and praised for something they think is good. No one owns anyone else "proof" of anything and the fact they think it's appropriate to demand proof of your disabilities and heritage is super vile and karen-level antics.

You're wonderful and I've found nothing you've done to be dangerous. Yeah you argue with people on the internet and get pretty feral about it. Big whoop, everyone's gotta have a vice.

I'd trust my kid around you but not that bully Callout child.

Rian: JSHEJDHDJD big thenk? Honestly though... I'm not worried about it. I get graphically told how to Commit several times a day on here, and I'm more worried about the mental and emotional state of the person who made the account. If it's a genuine thing and not a troll... That poor kid's probably being manipulated HARD by people. There's a chance they're in some amount of danger or in an abusive friend group. That's a lot scarier to me than someone actually being dumb enough to believe the post.

Rian: also I'm so happy that my feral nature is some level of charming because the better off my mental health gets the more unhinged I seem to become jsjsjdjd and please don't leave me with your child I am NOT a responsible adult. I teach kids how to play Mario kart. Like I am genuinely evil.
