johnny cage > kissing

the new era johnny cage is a great kisser, and he shows it in multiple ways.

warnings: kinda smutty, mostly fluffy, really really short

notes: im down bad for johnny, im way back in this bullshit and im glad to be back! don't forget to join my discord server, where you can chat with me and others about all things mk and then some!

[ masterlist ]

• johnny's kissed many people in his life, from middle school social dates to his wedding day. he put pride it himself with this ability, never shaming the other person when they didn't have as much experience, yourself included.

• it's not that you were a bad kisser, you were just wildly disproportionate to your boyfriend. he had his skill maxed out, every trick in the book, every bullet in the chamber to make you weak in the knees.

• when he comes home from a long day of work, the first thing he does is find you, like a needy moth to the brightest light. his kisses then are peppered, tracing from your collar to your temple.

• he snuggles up to your frame in what feels like an attempt to merge skin, his lips dragging along your cheek and making it itchy from the beginnings of stubble against his jaw. he'd mutter praises, lingering breaths against your skin as he kisses ever so softly.

• then, there are the bigger kisses. when johnny returns home from a months-long journey, he takes your breath away with an all-consuming kiss, clinging to the fabric of your clothes as if you may float away if he doesn't. when he's out of breath, it's only a moment of pulling away before he's back for another longer lasting kiss. johnny won't stop until you beg him to, pink in the face and lips swollen and messy. it's only then that a peck on the forehead is in order!

• johnny's kisses don't just stop at the lips. when given the opportunity, he'll simply drag them along your bare skin, tasting and appreciating every dip and curve you offer to him. he wants nothing more than constant physical contact, whether it be holding hands or kissing the back of your neck as he spoons you. he goes gomez-style, he'll romantically dip you just for a dramatic neck kiss, he'll squish your face tight and slap a fat, wet kiss onto your puckered mouth, or he'll attack you with a smothered grin, letting his lips linger on your chest for a cheeky moment.

��� even as he rocks in and out of you, fingers intertwined during your moments of intimacy, he's transfixed on your pillowy lips as they part to moan his name. he wants to swallow those moans, take in your noises down his own throat and part with a string of saliva, pressing his forehead to yours as he nears his climax. his whimpers are cut off by pecks, murmured compliments and dreamy wishes to spend his life with you.

• johnny's kissed a lot of people, but you? you take the cake. he wants to be connected for as long as you'll let him, until you're both panting and giggling and slightly damp. he's in love with you, and he's got it bad. his favorite thing about you? how you let him kiss you whenever he wants... which is always.

Pride Backlighting Tutorial

A few people have shown interest in replicating the pride backlighting I did, so hey, here’s a quick tutorial below the cut.

Enjoy, and happy Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈

STEP 1 — SETUP

First thing you’ll want to do is find a suitably dark background to bounce the light off of. I use the White Screen housing item dyed Soot Black, available from the Housing Merchant or Apartment Merchant in any of the housing zones for 3000 gil.

I line up 2-3 of them for coverage, but one will do if you're trying to be frugal.

If you don’t have an apartment or an FC room to use, try asking friends, FC mates, or even folks you share a Discord server with. You might even find someone who already has a studio space set up and is willing to let you use it!

Lighting in your studio space should be 0 (though you might have success at 1 as well), so make sure to adjust that or ask the studio owner if they can make that change before you start posing.

STEP 2 — GPOSE

Position your character(s) just a little ways back from the edge of the screen. You want some space between them and the screen so that the lighting can float there without casting a weird circle on the wall.

Hop into /gpose and bump up the “Manual brightness adjustment” to about 120 or whatever level allows you to see your character well enough to pose them. Pose to your heart's content.

STEP 3 — LIGHTS

Here’s the fun part. In the Light tab of the Gpose menu, switch all of your Light sources to Type 1, which has the shortest falloff radius (meaning it doesn't reach as far as Type 2 or 3). I also set all of my lights to one strong color to differentiate them while I worked on lighting—red, green, and blue, all maxed out at 255 (for now).

Swing your camera (still on all default settings) around to your character’s back and up above their head a little ways. This is where Light 1 (red) will go.

Now pan your camera down at about mid-back height and set Light 2 (green) there.

Pan your camera down one last time until you have a nice shot of your character’s butt and set Light 3 (blue).

Spin your camera back around and enjoy this nice little macaw-colored gradient.

STEP 4 — CAMERA

Set your camera angle.

The way FFIXV’s lighting works is partially dependent on how much light is in a shot. It will adjust a lot like your eyes do when you’re entering a dark room from a bright room, or vice versa. Your zoom level and camera angle are going to directly affect the lighting, so set this before you start messing with light strength and color. Sometimes this means weaker lighting will actually light your character better.

I ended up bringing my lights down to around ~160 and boosted the "Manual brightness adjustment" up quite a bit to get lighting I was happier with.

For a straightforward vertical shot, I like to have my Field of View (FOV) at 200 and of course my rotation is set to 90. Zoom in or out as needed. Remember to save your camera angle if you plan to pan around and fix things!

STEP 5 — COLOR

Make it ~queer~.

Take your flag of choice and pick out 2-3 “main” hues. Generally these will be the strongest hues in the flag, if not the only ones. Some flags, like the Pride/Progress/Intersex-Inclusive flag itself, are difficult to replicate for the sheer number of colors that are in it. You can loosely represent a rainbow with some adjustment to the RGB colors, if you’re determined to have a whole rainbow in there.

Shader Note: I recommend picking a shader preset that doesn’t mess too much with color so that colors are represented correctly. You may need to adjust light strength and “Manual brightness adjustment” to be compatible with your preset of choice. Bloom will also heavily affect the way your colors are showing up, so you may need to tone down the bloom FX or toggle it off entirely. This all depends on your preset, however.

If you’re not into RGB math, here are some cheat sheets! Not every flag is represented here of course, but I tried to cover as many colors as I could so that you could grab a color from another flag as needed! Please note that colors will need some adjustment for your own screenshot, presets, and preferences.

And that’s it, y’all! 🏳️‍🌈

(Open this image up in a new tab for more detail.)

These were taken using a heavily customized shader for that nice glowy effect.

Reminder we (as in some of the people in Jumblr) are trying to organize a couple of things for Pride month, for all the queer Jews or queer soon-to-be Jews (and I guess some allies) to have a safe queer Jewish space to celebrate. We have a discord server, which we won't post the invite to publicly for safety reasons, but please DM me and I'll give you the link, no need to feel shy or anything.

I'll keep posting reminders in case someone wants to join only closer to June.

The Aperture Science Enrichment Center reminds you that no matter who you are, you are a trusted friend in science.

Happy Pride Month! For the past few years, I have been selling my Pride Companion Cube's design on RedBubble (with Valve's permission). They are available as stickers, hats, shirts, hoodies, and a bunch of other stuff. I also have them available for free as icons if you would like to add them to your Discord server or subreddit!

Here's the best part: This year, ALL of the profit will be donated to the Trevor Project!

This isn't just limited to Pride month. Every single cent of profit from items in the collection will be donated to the Trevor project!

You can find them here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/MooseGBT/shop?asc=u

Happy Pride! - Moose

Details:

By "This year," I do not mean that the profit will not be donated to the Trevor Project in 2025, I mean that I may choose another charity for in 2025.

RedBubble does not have a system in place for profit to be donated directly to a foundation, so I will have to manually make a donation. This is clearly way too big of a thing to leave to the honour system, so I will be as transparent as possible with the profit and donations (without releasing any personal information of those who contributed). You can find constant receipt updates here.

I wanna tell a little story. Just a little one. [Edit after typing: Yeah I ranted for a while. Oh well.]

I grew up with a dad who was extremely racist, extremely homophobic, and extremely abusive. Used to beat me and my brothers for 20+ years of my life, left us all with mental disorders and trust issues, you name it.

One such story of his homophobia and beatings is that my brother had a boyfriend at one point, and my dad hit him with a belt and screamed at him until he agreed to break up with said boyfriend, which he did.

Now cut ahead 20 years, my dad met an openly gay celebrity online and became friends with him. All the sudden, my dad was Mr. LGBT Pride. He was a writer, and suddenly started writing a book about a gay cowboy called Buck Justice. He would rent movies with gay actors in it, or gay themes, and was suddenly super pro gay.

It just left all of us disgusted, my brothers and my mom. We knew this man, but people on Facebook didn't. He had this huge friend group all the sudden of people calling him "Dad" and "Big Bob" and shit (When in reality, my dad called himself N*gger Bob and even had that written on the whiteboard next to his phone number), and he kept telling us all these stories and laughing and having a good time about how "Cool gay people are."

You see, it left a poor fucking taste in our mouth.

Because we had personally seen how horrible this man was. He beat us. He beat my bisexual brother. He was a fucking monster, but now that he was in some clique with a big popular movie star friend, he was suddenly this shining beacon of gay pride.

That's what bothers me when I see people on the internet acting the same way. I see the disingenuous nature of their actions. I see the popular people they're brown-nosing, I see the big popular bloggers and streamers they're trying to be friends with who are spouting the same bullshit.

And the reason it bothers me is because I know who these people are. I go back in their blogs like 1 month and find death threats, calls for violence, mental instability, extreme rage.

I go to their YouTube channels and find videos of them watching rats die on glue traps.

I get invited into their Discord servers and scroll back through the history of them talking with their friends and see just mountains of hate posting, calling for violence, wishing people would be killed, celebrating the death of people they hate.

That's why I don't do that shit. And why I don't tend to hang out with people who do. Because I know those people aren't really respectful people. I know they don't truly want equality.

I know the truth. From 20 years of belt marks on my back.

I know y'all are fucking disgusting people who are just pretending to be respectful advocates for equality and peace because the big celebrities and vloggers and streamers you wanna be friends with are saying the same shit.

You people aren't real. You are NPCs spouting NPC dialogue in hopes of getting some pseudo social credit score with big e-celebs while all it takes is 10 seconds of scrolling through your blog to find out you are the most disgusting, violent and unhinged person on the internet.

Case in point, y'ever seen a cat owner before?

Tell a cat owner you don't like cats.

Watch what happens.

It's been 9 years since I made a post saying I don't like cats and I still get those fucking psycho pieces of shit sending me extremely descriptive anon asks about how they want my throat to be ripped out by a dog in my sleep. That's who these people really are.

All it takes is one thing that sets them off and they go from your 11-year-running best friend of all time to a person who sends you multiple paragraphs of descriptive ways they hope you die.

I've learned from experience with my dad.

Y'all want equality? Just treat people with respect no matter what. Don't act like there's versions of people or groups of people who deserve more or less respect, because guess what, THAT'S CALLED PREJUDICE YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT.

If you have to say "I am LGBT friendly"

You clearly have something to hide (which I guarantee is like 10 posts down in your blog and is horrifically violent and descriptive) and you are the last person I would expect to actually be LGBT friendly, or any kind of friendly.

🌈 MOTA Writers (+ Readers) Discord Server!

Do you write queer/shippy things for Masters of the Air? Or are you a reader who wants to contribute brainrot/ideas too?

Cool! You're invited to join the Writers of the Air server, wowie! Did I pull all of this out of my ass in the past 24 hours? Absolutely. Do I know what I'm doing? No, I have created one server in my life. Will we have a good ol' time? Yeah, baby!

✨ How to join: 1. Be an adult (sorry buds– there are gonna be channels for nsfw writing things!) 2. Send me a message here with your Discord ID, or ask for an invite link, if you don't have public invites turned on! :-) If messages aren't working for some reason, just reply to this post and lmk, I'll try to send you one instead. <3

That's all! I don't want to post a public invite link so we can avoid possible trolls/weirdos and can keep this a friendly, comfy space. 💗

This feels so formal lmao but really it's just gonna be a fun, chill server for writing–related things. Maybe occasional events/challenges for anyone who wants to participate, but mostly just a creative hangout space for authors and readers. :-)

My sleep's all over the place, so please be patient with me if I don't see your message asap! And also bear with me if there are any issues with bots/permissions because I'm winging all of this lol but I'm open to suggestions and will fix any issues as soon as I can. ✨

P.S. The reason this is specifically a writing server for authors who write fruity ship content is bc I've seen quite a few servers already for rp, oc/x reader, etc, so I wanted to create a more niche space for mostly queer canon character content instead! It's not intended to be exclusive at all, as all fic is wonderful and lovely. <3 Just thought for pride month it would be fitting to make something purposefully curated towards queer creations. 🌈

[these-posts-arent-real]

I'm ✨️completely fucking exhausted✨️ but decided I needed to do something for pride month anyway, so... take it. Take it and feast.

Since it's that time of year (pride moon <3 the second moon of greenleaf is my favorite for a reason...) my brother and I decided to make a bisexual colors flower chain... which reminded me, I've never officially come out, have I?

Well, there you have it. My brother (left) and I (right) found out we were bisexual at about the same time. I'm glad I live in a safe environment where I get to share that part of myself with all of my friends and my family.

>:3 so excited for pride moon, aka the one time I get to make all of my friends and family be extra nice to me because i'm intersex and therefore deserving of much love and appreciation for being queer.

🦋 lalala-bluegaze Follow

Intersex isn't lgbt... intersex is a physical deformity. I hate when cats say things like this and just completely ignore the real implications... like, you don't get to be lgbt just because your body is fucked up

🌠 nightshade-tast3s-yummy Follow

Anyway, intersex is queer no matter what exclusionists say !! What do you think the "i" in "lgbtqia+" standa for?

To my intersex followers, I <3 you and we are all sharing tongues in a queer little circle.

In honor of pride, I took some selfies with the trans flag painted on with crushed flowers and herbs! ^^

🌻 l1llyst3m Follow

Since posting this, I have recieved multiple asks stating that they would have known I was trans even if I didn't say because I don't pass very well/my face shape is too tom-like? I have also recieved several asks accusing me of faking being trans because I look too feminine and "calicos can't be amab" (I'm a chimera, fucking mouse-brains).

So yeah. Transphobes really will just say anything.

So, it's pride moon... and I'm unable to be out to almost anyone irl except my mentor. And. It sucks. I hate not being able to be loud and proud like I feel like I'm supposed to be... but I'm looking forward to a time when I'll be able to. Someday.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)) likes/reblogs appreciated, and here's the discord server to talk about this world and the world within this world if you find it interesting enough.

[mamawasatesttube]

*This minibang is open to followers of @mamawasatesttube on Tumblr. Moderation is tied to "stuff that I, Rimi Mamawasatesttube, want/do not want to moderate", and as such, rules on what isn't allowed WILL be subjective. If you're cool with that, let's gooooo!!!

HELLO!!! Very excited to launch this lil gig. This is a casual chill minibang, focused on Kon-El (Superboy) ♥ !!!

A minibang is an offshoot of a traditional fandom Big Bang. Big Bangs are events where writers come up with pitches for fics, then artists rank their top choices among those pitches, and everyone gets paired up into collab teams to make something for the event! Traditional big bangs are for longfic, but this is a chill tiny thing, so our word count minimum won't be that high (but writing longer fic is certainly encouraged!).

We have a discord server for this event, where all primary communication will take place! The link to join it is at the end of the signup form. If you've never done a bang or anything like it before, don't worry!!! This is aimed to be a pretty chill, casual event just for funsies, so jump on in!!!

The tentative schedule I have in mind is that we'll do claims and start the creative period in early April, then let people have April and May to work, and then sometime in June we can post (pride month Kon SWEEP). If that doesn't work for most people, though, we can fiddle with it! :D

[ask-unpleasant]

hey chat sorry for the month of inactivity. i was unmotivated to do anything with this blog

but then i looked at some of the art on here and realized that i just lost my love for the character designs. so you know how we're gonna fix that? we're redesigning some characters bayybeeee 😈

starting with the man the myth the legend, here is UNPLEZZIE 2.0

he's probably the only one i had genuine problems with other than not being very aesthetically pleasing. he seemed too boring, his proportions were always a bit wonky, and the way he became more and more simple the more i drew him dumbed him down to just...awkward.

for this redesign, i kept all the features that made him my unpleasant. the only really signature thing i changed was his hair, sorry not sorry he had to fire his barber. i changed his scars to be far less opaque as to not clutter him up (which was the main reason i left them out most of the time), the only drawback is that i'm no longer just scribbling them in with a brush, they're actual geometry, so i cut back on the arms just for my own sake. also his tail now looks (and acts) like an actual docked tail.

next is the QSWX GVCTXMG AMXLSYX VIEPPC FIMRK GVCTXMG GLEVEGXIV SJ XLI CIEV, here is CREEPY 2.0

creepy was probably my least favorite character to draw. its head shape with the hair that always ends off screen, the 4 arms, the lack of any real way to move visible, it has always been a mess of a character. don't get me wrong, creepy is my second favorite character to write for (beaten only by neuro), i love its personality and its inflection, i just never got the chance to show that because i hated drawing it so much.

so for the redesign, i've basically reimagined it. its face hair now has an actual definitive ending, it has a more unique shape, and is just much more expunged-friendly in my opinion. it looks even more like its mom now...

next is this one, i thought she was american. here's PARANORMAL 2.0

i'm gonna be totally honest i have no idea what i was doing when designing para for the first time. that outfit was 100% subconsciously stolen from some other character i can't think of right now. it also really just didn't fit her character at all. also i dont know why i gave her boobs???? what????

anyways for the redesign she's basically a whole new design now. i wanted to play with some shape language. also, para always had a sort of inhuman quality to me, despite her personality, so i've given her inverted eyes and some animalistic features. i guess it adds irony or something, i dunno.

and finally, the moment GERIATRIC CAT you've all been waiting for, UNNERVING 2.0

in truth nervy's design is my favorite. the only gripe i had is the lack of legs, like with creepy. also i had to give her one of the same pride flag ass gradient as the rest so she'd fit in with the rest. other than all that i love her she is perfect just the way she is with minor adjustments

that's all the redesigns done!! i only did these 4 because stabby is not mine to redesign and NEURO is perfect just the way it is. feel free to give me any constructive criticism for these redesigns, i can always tweak em a bit. also the more stripy gradients wont a pattern that follows the contours of the body but rather just unmoving plaid always. i hope this lengthy yap sesh contributed something to something, maybe gave some insight into my characters.

and if you got this far i put a public discord server link in the intro post. you dont gotta ask anymore. dont tell anyone....shhh....*lovingly puts my finger on your lips* *smirks* *bolts away* *gets hit by truck* *instantly fatal*

Touché- A Chlogami ficlet

So a discord server I am on is doing a fun thing with 750ish word fics for Pride Month. I figured I'd post anything I wrote here too. So without further ado.

Post Glaciator 2, things have been going better for Marinette. Chloé seems like a non issue, though she has been ‘excused’ from gym class regularly. Building up her courage, Marinette decides to attend fencing class again to get closer to Adrien. However when she arrives…

The two fencers lashed back and forth along the strip. Kagami’s bright red uniform stood out, the other fencer was dressed in a striking yellow.

The color of Adrien’s hair… Marinette sighed.

The match was intense. Kagami’s quick and controlled style versus her foe’s brute aggression. Marinette couldn’t imagine anyone else but Adrien giving Kagami such a fight, so she inched closer to the watching crowd to cheer him on silently. Other students gave her room in the semi-circle. He really is going all out… If he’s tired after, maybe I could go get him a water. Then he’d be so happy he’d ask me out. He’d propose over dinner. We’d get married and have three hamsters and a kid named Louis.

“Decided to come back?” A voice rippled on the edges of Marinette’s pink daydream.

“Yeah.” She wasn’t fully present.

“It’s good to see you here again.”

“Yeah.” She was drifting closer to the surface.

“Maybe we can practice a little when they’re done,” the voice was starting to register.

Marinette’s head craned around slowly to the person beside her. She recoiled in shock, throwing her hands up and dropping her foil. “Adrien!”

His smile was everything. He stooped to pick up her foil. “Hey Marinette.”

She lunged for it, they bumped heads and she backpedaled. Her world was reeling, “But- you- if- out there- here- who?”

“TOUCHE!” Mr. D’agincourt called, blessedly pulling attention away from Marinette.

On the strip Kagami stood over her fallen foe, with her saber’s point to her opponent’s chest. Theirs was thrust against her thigh, just shy of a legal strike. Both fencers could be heard gasping from within their helmets.

Economy of motion, Kagami withdrew her weapon and reversed its grip, offering her opposite hand to help her opponent up. The other fencer swatted the hand away, but then grabbed Kagami’s forearm and pulled themselves up with her aid.

D’Agincourt was effusive as he approached, turning to the fencer in yellow, “Splendid! Magnificent! Such progress in such a short amount of time! Control, control is the only thing you lack. You have chosen your partner well to learn that lesson.”

Kagami pulled off her helmet, sweat matted her hair but only served to enhance her austere beauty. She squared her shoulders under the instructor’s praise. Beside Marinette, Adrien noted lightly, “And I’ll end up with fewer bruises after each lesson.”

The unanswered question returned, “But if you’re here, then who-?”

The Fencer in yellow pulled off their helmet and shook out a long blonde ponytail.

“CHLOÉ?!?!!”

Annnnnnnd all eyes were on Marinette again.

Kagami smiled in greeting while the blonde demon rolled her eyes. Kagami stepped off the strip, turning the spectacle into a more private affair. She pulled off her gloves as she approached. “It is good to see you, Marinette. We have not had enough occasions to ‘hang out’ as you had suggested.”

Marinette was still stun locked. “But- you- how- her- here? SWEATING!”

Chloé smirked. “I think she’s broken.”

“Hsst!” Kagami chided, thumping her saber lightly against Chloe’s shin.

Adrien supplied, “Chloé started fencing with us a few weeks ago. Kagami brought her, and she’s really taken to it!”

Marinette’s mind was clearing, but still she was having a hard time believing. “But you hate gym class!”

Chloé chuffed, then grinned. “The games they play are ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. Stabbing people is more my style.”

To Marinette’s surprise, Kagami snorted in mirth.

Marinette looked back at her, “but… why?”

Kagami’s smile returned, triumphant. “Because, I win Marinette.”

“Win?”

Kagami’s smile broadened, with a hint of familiar smirk slipping in. “You called my manga nonsense. I wished to prove you wrong. Enemies to rivals.”

Kagami stepped sideways, hooking her arm around Chloé’s waist.

She added, “Rivals, to lovers.”

Chloé’s head snapped to the side, but there was color on her cheeks. She looked back at the group and leaned slightly into Kagami’s side.  “I have no idea what she is on about with her books, but I must say I like the outcome.”

That was too much, “You… two?!”

Chloé perked, an idea forming late. “She’s got a sword... Does this mean I can stab Marinette?”

Kagami hissed again, but squeezed the other girl, “Behave, or I shall be forced to humble you once more on the field.”

Chloé was already pulling on her helmet again. “I love it when you try.”

The 3AM Stream Incident

SOOOhbkabgsjf i haven't done something like this in a while, but I just go so inspired over in the discord @majimasleftasscheek with the streamer!kiryu idea that i had to write SOMETHING and i really loved this idea we came up with so here's SOMETHING!!! username cameos are all people from the server!!

if i had to put it somewhere, something post yakuza 3 pre yakuza 4. in order to make money for the orphanage, haruka and the kids introduced him to this streaming thing. he wanted to engage in their interests, and has always enjoyed gaming deep down, the money aspect also helps out a lot. he's formed a relatively decent sized community, but has yet to go viral. the streamers are pretty laid back and the children's identities are protected, but thanks to the younger audience of streaming in general, the chat has taken to calling him 'uncle kaz' like the kids do when they call for him off screen.

this is. short and silly and i didn't go too hard on it, but i hope it's fun!! kazumaji implied cause it will be with everything i write.

Kiryu doesn't stream off schedule, not often at least. Life gets in the way sometimes, but he's never done this before. It's quiet in the orphanage, he doesn't want to disturb the kids... but he also can't sleep. Not actually worth anything, at least. It's another all nighter, one that hopefully he can recover from while the kids are at school tomorrow. Today. If there's one thing he's thinking about this isn't the various people haunting him... It's Pocket Circuit LIVE. He figures that was something more productive to be doing than just laying here.

His steps are quiet as he makes his way into the small room that had been built in the rebuilding process of Morning Glory. This room was even in the process of being sound proofed, a gift from Daigo that was hard to refuse. With the door shut, he could be a bit more comfortable with his movements.

Hopefully, not too many people in the chatroom are up either. He thinks he remembers hearing talk about finals during these months. Still, it'd be worth going live, people liked him for his ''chill vibes'' and ''comforting streams''. There was always a twinge of a pride even he knew was a bit goofy, compared to the other things he was proud of. Perhaps he could help them sleep, much like a bed time story... But to the sound of Pocket Circuit LIVE dailies.

When Kiryu hits the 'go live' button, he skips through his starting soon screen, going straight to his face cam and gameplay set up. As the game boots up, a bit slower than usual from having to do it while he's live, the first few messages start to pop up

macthedragon: ayo cosmomemory: ??? tabbitha44: damn this game got you by the throat uncle kaz

"Good evening, chatroom." Kiryu smiles at the messages, the exhaustion painfully clear in his eyes he's sure. "I'm surprised other people are up at this hour. I can't sleep, and I can be quiet during this game to not wake the kids. So long as I don't pull." He adds the addendum before anyone in chat could mention that.

Through his months of doing this, he's learned that many of these 'stream chatrooms' have a sort of 'culture' to them. Each streamer has a different kind of audience they cater to, but many share a back and forth dynamic with their 'chatroom'. It was more work than he had ever realized, it was an interesting new world he had begun to discover.

The motions now are practiced and fluid. Daily missions were a walk in the park. Use a new wheel, win a race without a balance frame, win a race with a golem tiger. As the races began to blend, Kiryu quietly talks with his delayed chatroom, "I don't think I'll be streaming tomorrow, I'll announce on my social media platforms in the morning if I will or won't."

aquaortus: twitter. you can say twitter looneyzune: be nice to him, he's not wrong

Kiryu knew full well he could say 'Twitter', but people seemed to like his antiquated way of saying things as much as it grated on them. It was much like with the children in the orphanage, in that way. The chat was significantly slower, but that was nice for him. He didn't directly talked to them, more so just began saying how his day was, it had been a nice day off, he just might need another.

esutonia: take all the time you need uncle kaz cosmomemory: we all could use one i think looneyzune: you deserve the time off, uncle kaz! macthedragon: please don't say you're leaving to get milk- aquaortus: going to sleep to this stream, gnight everyone

It was nice to see the messages of comfort in the corner of his eye, even as they began to talk amidst each other other than just with him. Of course, he quietly wished the viewers going to bed good night, which ended up being a few of them when an hour had passed. Less than 50 people were watching him at that point. There's a few points where he has to quiet down, hearing something shuffling outside of the room, and he has to make sure he didn't wake one of the children. Thankfully, no such incident happens, and he continues on with the quiet stream.

Quiet for a good while, but by hour two, something goes wrong. A name that he had expected to be gone from this stream popped up, marked with a green sword and bright pink text.

gorogorogorochan: Kiryu-chan what the fuck is this shit looneyzune: uh oh esutonia: SCATTER brahkest: uncle majima moment! it's so over

"M-Majima-!" Kiryu jumped at seeing that familiar name, the chatroom having a similar reaction. He looked to the door, knowing he was a good while away in a hotel, yes, but like he could be there at any moment. "I just couldn't sleep, so... Why am I not surprised you're up at this hour too." He truly should have expected this. "I'll only go for another hour. You should get some rest."

He looks at his quest list. Dailies are done, but weeklies are nearing completion. He could go ahead and knock those out now if he's going to take a break soon. Kiryu gets to it, settling back into the rhythm of the game he found so addicting.

gorogorogorochan: Are ya fuckin' kiddin' me gorogorogorochan: TEN MINUTES mrbeefgnaw: oh rip uncle kaz tabbitha44: h u h cosmomemory: it's so over looneyzune: ...has he noticed looneyzune: uncle kaz are you with us

With chat going so slow due to so few people, now less than 20, Kiryu didn't notice it. Pocket Circuit LIVE was too temping. He keeps good on his promise to not pull, but ten minutes have gone by without him really saying a word. He was both too tired and too engrossed in the menial yet fun activities of his favorite pass time.

brahkest: TIME IS UP: UNLEASE THE HOUNDS tabbitha44: what did he Mean by this macthedragon: he never realized omg.....

The questions as to what he had meant didn't go unanswered for long. Kiryu looked over at the chatroom, finally seeing the sudden activity, "Chatroom, did something-" And is cut off by the door to his room swinging open. It just barely is held back from slamming by a tired, haggard, and ticked off looking Majima. He blinks in surprise at his sudden appearance, standing up and taking the same headphones the man had gifted him off his head, "Majima? What are you-"

The next moment, Majima is charging him.

Kiryu barely manages to understand whats happening in the mere second he's given before Majima's long legs get him across the room. He's still taken to the ground in the next second, but he knows not to start fighting back by then. All the camera sees in a yellow and black blur, and then Kiryu going out of frame.

brahkest: UNCLE MAJIMA MOMENT!!!! mrbeefgnaw: oh rip lol looneyzune: UFBKSD cosmomemory: JHDFKSDG macthedragon: HJDKFJDFHLD tabbitha44: LMAOOOO estunia: JHFKDSFKESJB

The last thing the stream sees is a gloved hand slapping around on the table to find the keyboard, and when it's found, the stream is shut off.

Tony told me about pride month so...Happy Pride Month

(Also, yes, he did shave his unibrow for this)

[OOC: Thanks to IzNome in the discord server for the 'Pridenapple' idea (on Likeys bandana thing)]

[messrsrarchives]

ahem ,,, number 1 for the game thing ,,,, mooncheese

ask game

mooncheeeseeee my loves <3 okay, much like with my regupete love, some of these are based on the idea of pete being left out by the marauders so prefacing here that i don't personally think he is. not my pete nuh uhhh it makes it sm more tragic if he isn't. alas, he is here sometimes

When I started shipping them

literally just randomly said "here me out,,," on a discord server a couple of months ago and proceeded to rant as if i had prior thoughts. i did not, but i did cook in the rant.

My thoughts

ohhhh i love them !!! i love them !!! it's soft, it's comfortable, it's a barrel of miscommunication and unknowing pining, it's forced proximity and it's whispered late night chats over games of chess, walks to the kitchen and exchanging study notes. it's so natural and soft, but with bumps as they learn to talk, to allow themselves to take up space and UGH. love. it's also two people who don't know how to talk about feelings forced to come to terms with feelings and two people with a lot of secrets, one of them better at keeping them than the other

What makes me happy about them?

the understanding. i've always seen pete as a people watcher, and the person you go to for advice. i know we typically say james for that but i think he's more reassurance and love whereas pete - chessmaster - plays out each possibility and indicates what moves you have. and i think remus needs that, longsss for it really. someone who just sees him and understands him. and then for pete it's remus' stability. he'll put on a frown and say he's too tired for whatever pete suggests, but he'll give in anyway and they both know it.

What makes me sad about them?

the secrets. the idea that pete could see him so easily but he didn't see the betrayal coming. the idea that remus took pride in the fact that whilst most people over looked pete, he couldn't look away but his vision was obscured anyway. the GRIEFFFF of thinking sirius killed him, and the GUILTTTT at finding out it was the other way. ugh.

Things done in fics that annoy me? -> haven't read any, they exist in my mind (i'm still writing your gift of them do not fear 🤭)

Who I'd be comfortable with them ending up with, if not each other:

hmmm obviously wolfstar ! i think that adds a funnnn layer of tragedy to the betrayal. for pete,,, we know i fw regupete. we know i fw prongstail. pebill.

My happily ever after for them:

magical au: hogwarts professors (herbology/runes and DADA). they don't share a quarters but you just knowww if you're knocking on the head of gryffindor's door at any point, pete's head is popping up in the background. they defo prank each other (remus put a sticking spell on all the plantpots once, and hid pixies in a soil bag. pete - people watcher and also the kids love him - 100% gets them all together to play a prank in remus. thinking HAHAHA i'm thinking the boggarts and he tells the class beforehand like "psst,,, did you know professor lupin wears a fluffy dressing gown every night?" and remus is like 🧍🏻‍♂️ when all his students use that to dispel the boggart 😭)

muggle au: ooo anything really !!! it depends what au !!! all i know is they own a cat and pete brought a guinea pig home one random day. remus was not impressed but a few months later remus reads with it in his lap

Big/little spoon?

TYPICALLY remus is the big spoon but he always wakes up with pete wrapped around him instead

What is their favourite non-sexual activity?

sorry i'm giggling that they clarified non-sexual. mooncheese like to find cheap cinema tickets and go to watch random films they've never heard of, then go to the drive thru afterwards and chat shit about how awful it was - it's awful every time, they still go each week.

oh this was fun !!!! this was so fun i forgot how much i enjoy this pairing <33

Highway to Pail!

Do-It-with-Style Events Presents: Highway to Pail, a casual month-long prompt event for the Good Omens fandom starting February 1st!

What is Highway to Pail? Pail, or “Pun Jail”, is a role given to people who commit pun crimes in the Do it With Style Events Discord Server. Highway to Pail is an event run by DIWS during the month of February. Every day has a different pun assigned to it for participants to use as prompts for new fanworks.

Wait, what’s a pun? At its most simple, a pun is a play on words, or a joke that exploits the different possible meanings of a word, or rhyming words. Prompts for Highway to Pail will include phrases, jokes, and images that all rely on double meanings!

So is it just a month of crack? Not exactly! While the prompts may be puns, you can take it in any direction you’d like. Make it funny, make it sad, make it your own, just so long as it’s inspired by the pun!

I don’t know...English isn’t my first language. Listen, if there are two things DIWS prides itself in its our Pun-ishment Pail and our Diverse Membership! We know that puns are difficult to translate. All puns will have some relation (if distant) to something from Good Omens. Additionally, we’ll have 10 alternative puns for puns that don’t quite make sense to you. And finally, our pun list will come in two versions: The “Just the Puns” and “Explain the Joke to Me” with breakdowns of the wordplay approved by mods who also don’t have English as a first language. Everyone has a chance to understand and participate!

Wait, is this just a thinly veiled excuse to get as much of the DIWS server put into Pail as possible? Which mod came up with this? 🤨 We reserve the right to not answer this question.

There will be a prompt for every day of the month, but remember, this event is casual! You can try to create something for each prompt, you can pick and choose your days, you can work ahead, or you can use the prompts as daily exercises for your writing or art. Any level of completion is encouraged for this event. Participants can share their creations in the DIWS Discord Server and on Tumblr. Use the tags #do it with style events and #highway to pail!

For the more polished pun pieces, a collection will be made on AO3 for participants to submit their works. NSFW pieces and pieces incorporating elements from Season 2 are permitted, with appropriate tags.

Daily Sprints will be run in the DIWS Discord server for folks who wish to sprint together as part of the fun. There will also be space to chat, share ideas, scream about each other’s work, and make your own puns. Not a member yet? Use this link to join in!

Buckle up and get ready to pun! Highway to Pail starts on February 1st 2024.
