[kazu-naito]

[stinkybuttwipes]

Dragon ball characters 🖤Spicy🖤 headcanons~

Piccolo

This man let me tell you-

You’ll only get a few grunts out of him, he’s more focused on what he’s doing honestly.

He will only moan when he’s about to cum but he isn’t very loud with it because he is really embarrassed (poor bb)

Piccolo isn’t very vocal in bed nor does he do dirty talk but he’ll slip out a few cute names for you every now and then when he’s going at it

Ehem- sweetie, Angel, Honey *explodes*

He prefers to be in the missionary position but sometimes he’ll let you ride him ;)

He’s also a Hermaphrodite

You’ll wonder where tf his pp at and he’s so flustered about it. Lets just say piccolo aint the only one eating out (you gotta work to get that cock)

Once you get his cock out wish your pussy good luck because this man is huge

(8-9 inches and FUCKING GIRTH?)

Sometimes when he’s so exhausted and pent up he’ll need a blowjob from you.

His fingers, HIS FINGERS.

They don’t reach as deep as his cock does but boy do they make you see stars.

His antennas are hella sensitive so if you play with them you’ll definitely hear a silent moan from him.

He is so good with aftercare though don’t worry he’ll always take good care of you.

Want a bath? He’s on it. Hungry? He’s on it. Cuddles? He’s already got you❤️

Broly

Baby boy I love him so much

He’s a moaner! He’s a whimperer! He’s a crier!

This guy is a sweetheart in bed don’t let his appearance fool you.

He’ll be so gentle with you as he moans into your neck.

VANILLA SEX VANILLA SEX VANILLA SEX

He prefers not to be to rough or hard because he’s so scared he’ll accidentally hurt you doing it:(

Although if you want him to be rough or go harder whisper it into his ear please he’ll whimper for you and obey you so fast-

He’ll put his face in your chest as he rams into you , be careful what you wish for cause he is going to lose it eventually 🫣

Broly will start moaning reaaaal loud once he feels he’s going to finish (your pussy is to good for him ya know)

Be prepared for him to accidentally overstimulate himself-

He’s gonna either go harder and rougher or super saiyan on you. Either way you ain’t waking tomorrow.

This bitch will growl when he loses control and let’s be honest..it’s hot

Broly is PACKING he’s carrying a 10 inch veiny af cock when he’s hardened so he’ll be hitting you in all the right places.

Such a sweetie when it comes to aftercare. Play with his hair he’ll fall asleep immediately but right after he puts himself near your chest so he can hear your heart. It comforts him to know you’re still with him 🥹.

Goku

He can’t even be serious in bed

He is definitely a dog In heat when he’s horny though.

And when he’s horny he won’t leave you alone-

This bitch will have the fucking audacity to moan in your ear and grind on your ass (IN PUBLIC SOMETIMES TOO)

If you touch the spot where his tail used to be he’ll tremble but overtime it does become sensitive and he’ll tell you to stop.

Is a sweetie though even if he’s rough in bed, he’ll leave marks on you going from your neck to your calves.

He loves cockwarming at night and keeping his seed in you making sure none spills as you have to listen to him snore (no sleep for you~)

HE DO GOT A BIG COCK THO

9 INCHES AND HELLA WIDTH

ITS A SAIYAN THING THEY ALL GOT FAT PECKERS.

He is so good at eating you out like, a MASTER at it’ll he’ll get you to squirt in a minute.

So good with his tongue too 🫣

Will steal your panties and use them to get off as he moans loud so you can hear (HES DOING IT ON PURPOSE)

Favorite position is 69

Loves his cock sucked but also loves to taste you it gets him going~

He got fat balls full of cum so he’ll keep you up all night and day!

His calloused hands are good for clit rubbing 😩

He has no shame in saying the most embarrassing shit ever

Example: Goku: “What’s for dinner?” You: “bro, stfu and fuck me you dumb shi”

He forgets aftercare but he ain’t gonna bail on you

He’s prob gonna just pass out, cock still in you and everything…..”I’m hungry”

Overall 7/10 in bed

GOOD EVENING FRIEND I AM BACK. (just this weekend tho) HOW R U? I hope you're no longer sick!! please drink golden milk and boost your immune system (if you wish to do so)

- fem!tsumugi ramble?!?

since its tsumugi day I was thinking about all the fem tsumugi fanart that is out there and how she always has big titties, I think she'd absolute love to have them bitten and licked, I also whole heartedly believed she's someone who unknowingly arches her back during it pushing them in your face further but nobody complaining, I think her inner thighs would be very sensitive so she'd enjoy her thighs being slapped as she sits on her knees like a good girl... I also want to talk about how she would love having fingers in her mouth as you use your strap or cock whichever, in her, its a super pretty sight i have in mind like just her sucking and gently biting on your fingers as you ram into her? I still love her titties can't live without them..

- fem!eichi tsumugi and keito ramble including breeding by the five eccentrics?!?!

also oh my goddddd I can't stop thinking about fem!eichi fem!keito fem!tsumugi and the five eccentrics just taking their stress out on them and breeding them whilst teasing their chests I'm so sorry this is stuck in my head please!!! they have so many reasons to make those 3 into their personal cumdumps especially rei??? rei and keito?? childhood friends??? rei and eichi?? roommates after all she put him through??? rei and tsumugi would probably be softer but he's not afraid to bend her over and force her to, talking about how she's too naive and innocent or whatever

I think wataru would probably stick to just fem eichi especially after finding out her little crush on him?? oh he'd breed her gently for HOURS, where as natsume and shu would use her like no fucking tomorrow, no way she's not coming out pregnant after those two?? especially knowing they'd put her in the most humiliating positions ever, and sooner or later in breeding presses.. oh god..

fem!keito probably doesn't really get used by anyone but rei I'm sure rei will keep her full and pretty, I'm sure just rei will be enough for her to not walk properly for a while, or maybe rei decides to share her with kanata just watching how much more gentle kanata is before slamming his own hips into her now, very sensitive, hole

and fem!tsumugi?? yeah... natsume dragging her to the secret room and making her scream her lungs out, no other way, but hey? five eccentrics they'll live up to their name and make the most of their school year right? everytime they get annoyed about one of their schemes they simply drag one of them to one of the rooms and force their cum in them, I think it's pretty cool i would not mind being any of the three girls!

also I don't know where I'd fit kanata to be honest? I think he's the kinda guy that would keep the girls bent over but he'd be very into keeping their wrists tightly held behind their back or the wrists on top of their head, though I'm not sure exactly who he'd prefer out of the three, I also believe he's more into forcing them to take him down their throat, and maybe he'll cum on their face or chests simply cause it'll be humiliating, especially having to clean themselves or how they can smell him for the rest of the day as they sit in class all prim and proper what not- but that doesn't match my breeding kink so. I dunno!!! maybe he just got a need to slam his hips into the ones who upset him and his friends! plz do give your opinion on kanata THANKS I HOPE UR DOING WELL FREN!!

- 🫧

(what is golden milk,,,) but yes I’m doing better now ty!

okay I’m thinking about this too much as well. something about eccentric group sex is soooo. mmmm. going under the cut

Okay first, big agree with just using Femmugi and playing with her tits. I ADORE the idea of cockwarming her while just. biting her chest, leaving lovebites all over them. she’d definitely arch her back instinctively, all the better for me.

Okay eccentric time. Rei is railing ALL of them. He doesn’t wanna get first dibs unless the others insist because he doesn’t mind getting sloppy seconds at all, might as well let his friends have fun first you know? Plus I think he has a bit of a voyuerism thing. He has such different dynamics with all 3, he treats Eichi like the whore she is and is rough with her, knowing she doesn’t enjoy being handled as fragile. Keito, he’s so teasing with, not too rough but takes his sweet time. Tsumugi honestly like you said he’s pretty sweet with her, he probably gets along with her the most so Rei’s really soft and just enjoys playing with her boobs.

Natsume obviously has a Tsumugi bias, even if he doesn’t hate her anymore he’s still VERY rough and mean with her, so most of the time he’s the one railing her over tables and desks whenever he feels like it. He does still have that Eichi grudge though so that’s where all the rest of his hate sex goes towards. He gets bored of breeding Mugi all the time you know?

Shu pretty much hates all 3 but as much as I’d love for him to fuck all 3 I think he’d concentrate on Eichi since it’s specifically about breeding. He prefers getting stress out in others ways but he can’t resist giving the Tenshouin heir a bastard, something about ruining her life in return.

Wataru’s definitely not in it for the hate he’s in it for the SEX. Of course he can’t keep his hands off Eichi, but the other Eccentrics know Eichi would enjoy that the most so they relegate him to Keito fucker. Rei WOULD fuck Keito a lot too, but consider Wataru a tap out for when Rei is fucking one of the other 2 instead. Eichi gets fucked by all the others so her holes are a bit busy, so Keito’s duty as right hand woman is to be another breeding hole for Wataru.

Kanata..yeah I agree wouldn’t really be into hate sex either. If I had to delegate a position to him it’d be to cockwarm them while they’re bathing so that they’re always comfortable and full. Him just watching them get fucked would be good too though, if they’re lacking the equipment to keep them restrained he can pin their wrists down or lift a leg up for easy access. If you really want him to fuck someone though, probably Keito since she was the one responsible for his execution.

Sims 3 Error 12 "fixes"

Been looking at the infamous error 12 today while playing bald gate and have made a lil bit of progress that I think I should put somewhere, mostly so I don't forget. (AKA just use dxvk for smoother gameplay AND less crashes!)

While none of this is really a complete fix, I think it's a step in the right direction and someone smarter than me might be able to skip a couple steps on their path as a result.

The issue: Sims 3 is a 32 bit game and has a hard limit of 4gb RAM. I have no idea what happens if it hits that limit because I don't have a save bloated enough (yet), but I'm guessing it'd crash. The base game on an extremely bloated save (for me) sits around 2600mb-3100. For whatever reason, saving the game causes a spike in RAM usage ranging from 50 - 400mb+, which if you're lucky will error 12 you, and if you're unlucky will crash you, throwing your last hour+ of gameplay into the bin.

In general, if you're around 3200mb usage, you should've saved 10 minutes ago.

A couple "fixes": Part of the issue is that the game seems to load certain objects/textures into RAM, with VRAM being capped at around 840~mb on a good day, and (maybe?) contributing to the overall limit. Easy way to fix this seems to be using DXVK, which, for me at least, removed the RAM bump when objects are loaded. 0 lots detail loaded? 2700mb, 13? 2700mb. I might write a proper installation guide for it, but for now there's a bit in my general performance tweaks post, along with my config. Another fix is, of course, the tried and true, quit your game every hour, clean your save, pray to god thing, but at certain family/save sizes it does seem like you're just kind of circling the drain. I would recommend if you are playing a 300 person household who own the entire town, dropping ObjectSizeCullFactor down in your graphics.sgr file (also in my tweaks). It's personal preference but 20~ should be mostly unnoticeable while greaaattly helping the initial bloating. I've noticed around a 250mb~ drop from the default settings, but that could just be luck. The rest of my settings don't(and shouldn't) have any impact as far as I can tell, but I'll look more later. Another thing that might help if you're already getting the error and desperately need to save, is unloading lots. There's probably a cooler way of doing this, and there's potential for a mod, but try flying your camera into a far corner, entering the map mode, pressing tab and looking up into the sky/towards nothingness before saving. This gets me around 150-200mb

Setting max detail lots to 0 also helps, but isn't exactly doable for most people (lowest is 1 in game). TS3W.exe+86C647 writes to the value if you're feeling zesty. There's other addresses that could potentially help but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Ideally this would be automatically set when saving, or even more ideally, we could just call a purge/reinitialize every so often. I'm pretty sure the game can reclaim memory, I've seen it happen, I just have no idea what triggered it.

Other basic render-based settings seem to have no impact on RAM/VRAM, which is in line with my sgr stutter findings about clipping distance and fog. Still need to test more tho.

Anywhoo that's all for now. I'll probably keep at it tomorrow, I'd like to see what exactly is causing the bloating and if it's vram based or ram, I feel like it's something really silly that should be easy to fix, but we'll find out

As promised the not-awaited second part of the Hercules 1997 analysis!

Let's dive right in, we're starting at the scene where Phil and Hercules fly over to Thebes

= Since calling NY “Big Apple” isn’t really a thing in Poland, they instead made a reference to the saying “to pretend to be Greek” (something like, to play dumb) which is a nice pun but a little forced I’d say

+ Instead of “numbskull” Phil gets called “ram” which is both a way to call someone idiot in Polish, but also, well, he basically is

+ I feel like the joke with the cat is even funnier in Polish, because the guy lifts the black cat and calls it Whity :’D

* The joke abou IX-I-I gets translated literally with the Polish emergency number but it sounds so bad

+ “And fiery” Hades lights his thumbs on fire “words of appreciation”

+ “They even made a noise! ...of delight”

+ “Well that’s not going to delight you…”

+ “And watch for the teeth! His teeth!”

+ Okay so the pun with Hades saying “Game, set, match” with the “match” right as he light us his cigar, so kinda uses his thumb as a match, is fine, but I still prefer the Polish paraphrase of “I came, I saw, I conquered” (veni, vidi, vici) into “I came, I saw, I smoked” ("przybyłem, zobaczyłem, zwyciężyłem/zapaliłem")

= We don’t have the saying “to win by a landslide” in Polish, but I’d say that “a crushing victory” is good enough

- No “he was so hot, steam looked cool” :(

* Literally tho why does Meg call Hades Rex

+ You have to believe me that “And you’re wearing trash with his face on it!?” is much funnier in Polish, first because the used word “barachło” is quite rare but even if you don’t know it the meaning is obvious and second because he uses the derogative form of “face” that you apparently don’t have in English

+ (You want a) “sip?” bjhbdfhbdfv

- Aw the visual pun with curves couldn’t’ve been conveyed

+ Yeah I much prefer Polish “devils” (“czorty” folk connotations my beloved <3) than just imps for Hades’ lackeys

- No pun about manhandling :(

+ SZMACIARZ

* Y’know I feel like back in the day they could’ve gotten away with a lot more in those movies

+ “This decoration of ceramic”

+ Instead of “Buns of Bronze” they make a reference to a Polish saying “with work and persistence people get richer” but the “people” got exchanged for “heroes” (here and almost in every other instance the word “hero” they use is specifically the one meaning a half-god, it doesn’t have the exact English equivalent so just remember that cause I’m not going to explain it every time and it makes a difference)

+ “Are you walking out of here or out of yourself?” “To walk out of oneself” is a Polish idiom for getting furious

^ Though I have to say I wish they didn’t get away with certain things

+ KSELFKSELF HERCIE DOESN’T SAY JUST “I’ve missed you” HE SAYS SOMETHING MORE LIKE “I’ve been [in a state of] longing [for you]” I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SAY IT BUT IT’S THE ARCHAIC POETIC VERSION

+ I have no idea how the translator could’ve translated “the greatest thing since they put the pocket in pitta”, but she cleverly escaped that by changing this line to “more famous than Pythagoras and Paris put together”

^ Aw and here goes my headcanon that the movie happens during “King Oedipus”

+ “Enough of this chirping” said Panic while being a bird

+ Herc mentions wishing on a falling star when saying that he wanted to be like everyone else which I think is just so logical I wonder why he didn’t in the original

+ So apparently “mutton man” is a reference both to some fictional character and the fact that Phil is you know, a goat, which mean that Polish reference to “koziołek matołek” is on point (or maybe even slightly better since he’s literally a goat)

+ “I already got my lesson” > “You think a girl would learn”

+ Hades ironically calls Meg by the formal yourself

- Instead of “read my lips” there’s just “then now listen carefully”

+ Instead of “minion” Hades calls her “little soul” 👀

- But he says “you’re my servant” instead of “I own you” which we have to agree is just metal and iconic

+ Oooh instead of “your oneness” (which I by the way do not understand where it came from) Meg calls him the title translated to English as “your grace” but in Polish it sounds more like “your love”

+ Awww Herc calls Phil by the diminutive

+ Oh I definitely like “I am going to tell you either way” over just “What I’m trying to say is”

+ As well as “old man” over “little guy” when referring to Phil

^ Damn this movie goes hard

+ And after he hits him Herc calls him by diminutive again 😭

- We lost the “what got his goat” so I think the goat pun balance is at zero after all

= Here I was torn between that and ”+” because “rąsia” (“hand” (diminutive)) is just hilarious in this context but I suppose the original is pretty funny too

+ “Our hero’s a zero” is funnier in Polish, because to rhyme “zero” with “heros” She had to add an “s” at the end and made it into “zeros” which like?? I have no actual lingustic knowledge to explain why it’s fun, but it kinda changes the word from just a numeral into a term for a person

+ Instead of “There’s a whole cosmos waiting for me with, hey, my name on it” (which I don’t quite get cause like? I’m sure he’s talking about the “over”world not the underworld so what’s with the name it sounds like a pun but I don’t get it?) Hades says “The whole cosmos is waiting for me to take over and I, too, am burning to do so” which in Polish is an idiom meaning to be very enthusiastic about doing something

- I have to admit that “good answer” is funnier than just something like “and rightly so”

* I- I have no idea what Hermes’ reaction is to the Titans coming. I know it’s not the original “We’re in trouble! Big big trouble!” but I genuinely *do not understand* what the Polish actor is saying. What the heck.

* “O ładny gips! Sunie prażona pała!”?????????????????? Tak tam jest??? Pani Łopatniukowa pomocy 😭

+ Instead of “my lord and lady” Hermes titles Zeus and Hera as “your godnesses”

+ “Easy you flying nag” except like, flying isn’t even a regular adjective here it’s more derogative, anyway even when saving Hercules Meg can’t stop herself from insulting Pegasus XD

= The original pun of “Get off, blast you!” while Zeus is throwing the bolt is great and Polish translation “Get off, cause when I’ll blow…!” as a reference to the Big Bad Wolf is fantastic too :D

+ Will “we’re swimming out of here!” used literally, ever stop being funny to me? Probably not

* (It’s an actual idiom meaning quick escape)

+ Hahaha yes, instead of an ironic “friend” Meg gets called stright up “sidekick”

+ “I know what you think about me, but don’t think about me now, think about him” yeah on one hand Meg doesn’t admit to her fault here but I really like the repetition, and the purpose is the same

+ “More thunders, by thunder!” in a direct translation

+ Sorry but the voice in which Hermes says this line? ICONIC (1:14:46 for the curious ones)

+ “Herkulesiu!” AAAA-

* Hm alright, I have a little mixed feelings about the translation and use of “I’ll go the distance” as a recurring line, because on one hand, it’s been translated as best as possible since we don’t have this idiom and is used basically in all of the places it’s been used in the original dialogue – except it’s not used in the song. I’d 6/10, She had tried

- “He promise he won’t hurt me” I mean sure, technically that does fall into the “she won’t get hurt” category but it’s not what happened sooo…

- This is so stupid why doesn’t he say “Let’s go, Pegasus” why is he just shouting “hiyah” XDD

+ Another iconic line! See, Hades says “Woah, who put me out?” and in Polish it’s a slang term meaning to dampen someone’s enthusiasm, stop them when they’re bragging, deliver a sick burn, something like that

^ Zespół T(ytani) znowu błysnąąąął

- Aw, just diminutive of Hercules instead of Wonderboy :(

+ “There are some things even you can’t beat”

= Instead of using a pun (thank goodness) Hades uses Megara’s full nam-

* WAIT NO

+ HE CALLS HER “ MEGIERA” INSTEAD OF “MEGARA”

* AND MEGIERA MEANS A BAD, QUARRELSOME WOMAN

* THIS IS GENIUS

+ A N D IT COMES FROM MYTHOLOGY I AM IN LOVE

- Again no Wonderboy

+ Meg says Hercules will be one heck of a “bożyszcze” which is a word both for a pagan god and for an idol of the masses

* Btw I’m pretty sure in the og audio the gods have a kind of artificial echo to their voices that wasn’t added in the Polish dub, interesting

+ Ayyy Hermes repeats the “No to lu, panienki” that the narrator said to the muses at the beginning of the movie!! Fantastic

To sum it up! Ms Łopatniukowa did a fantastic job with this translation, both conveying the original jokes and specific manner of speaking chosen, and added many references to the ancient culture that were missing in the original. I am still delighted by Phil's way of speaking which is an example of fantastic localization and some of Hades' lines are simply iconic.

Once again, Polish dubbing is supreme 😌

Thanks for reading!

[prettyallfriends]

do you enjoy your Xiaomi other than that? Does it get hot when opening apps? Been wondering if I should make a switch

for context my previous phone was a huawei (they cant use android anymore so its stuck on an unsupported version😩) w 3gb ram so literally anything wouldve been an upgrade lmao. but yeah im liking my xiaomi quite a lot, its a redmi note 13!! the screens dithering or whatever isnt all that bad now that im used to it, and it def hasnt gotten hot or slowed down or anything but ive only had it for two days so i cant speak to the longevity of it lol. people complain about the built-in apps but my only issue with them so far is that theyre stuck on my home screen (could probs deal with that with a custom launcher?). it has a headphone jack, fingerprint sensor in the screen, the camera seems pretty good, nfc, sd card support... yeah idk what ppl care about re: phones but i think its good, especially for under €200!! also it came with a screen protector applied, and a case (opaque grey... feels sturdy tho), and of course a charger (which apparently some phones dont include??)

ummm so yeah the negatives... idk. its kind of heavy? definitely a bit chunky with the included case, i have pretty small hands and i do get a teensy bit of hand fatigue with it lol. oh and its quite tall, so in landscape mode it can be a bit of a stretch to reach the middle if u happen to be playing rhythm games with thumbs or whatev. thats honestly it so far. neutral points: the camera lenses are massive, the square area they take up is more than half the width of the phone. and imo the phone itself looks reeeeeeally really nice, glassy back and sharp/squared edges but some people prefer phones with more rounded edges

so yeah i guess it depends on what youre switching from? if you need an upgrade i'd tentatively recommend it, but i cant say itd be worth switching if ur phones still being supported and is working fine

Brother Moments in Nightwing Annual 2021

pt. 2

(spoiler alert, duh.)

8. Feel free to hit me hard.

First of all, I love the tribute/shout out to Nightwing's current main team from Tom Taylor. The current Nightwing is written by Tom Taylor with art by Bruno Redondo and colors by Adriano Lucas.

Taylor is also the writer for this year's Nightwing Annual and it seems he slipped in a tribute to the rest of his main team in Oracle's dialogue when she made a report to Nightwing.

That aside, let's talk about the scene itself. I think it's pretty funny how they're both adults now but Dick still won't let Jason drive (for now, at least).

And I feel like this scene symbolises Jason's inner turmoil which tends to punish himself over the things he's done in the past. But I might be reading too much into this lmao.

Ramming into Clayface with the Batmobile is a pretty cool entrance made by the two oldest Batbros though.

9. Clayface grabs Dick.

Jason really came to Dick's defense here.

Jason: put my damn brother down, bitch

And Clayface really underestimated Jason's daddy issues, huh.

It's a pretty funny scene though. I don't know why Clayface thought it'd be a good idea to morph into Batman of people.

There isn't much to talk about in this scene but I included it because I think it's amusing.

10. Jason gets to drive.

See, Jason, this is exactly why Dick never lets you drive.

And the one time he did let Jason drive, he wrecks the Batmobile.

I guess Dick handing the keys over to Jason symbolises letting him take over the mission, too. Since Jason is personally involved with this case now (his mother overdosed from drugs supplied by Wolfgang Blysma, aka the villain who hired Clayface).

who knew he'd end up wrecking their dad's car tho lmao

11. Epic entrance.

Not much to talk about here, just a super epic entrance by the Batbros.

Also, I consider it canon that Jason grew to be taller than Dick (most fanart also depict Jason as taller than Dick). So I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't integrated into this issue (it's a personal preference, though).

12. Conclusion of the story.

I like their friendly banter here, it's rather cute.

I'm glad Jason is satisfied with seeing criminals getting justice. After all, there was a time when violence seemed to be the only way out for him. He's learning to control his violence better, and we're all so proud of you.

It's funny how they both agree not to tell Dad that they took his car out for a joyride (and wrecked it).

This issue seems to tie a lot of the current events to past events, back when Jason was Robin. It fits so well and the story is thoroughly wholesome.

What a great story, definitely one of my favourite Dick and Jason team-ups.

Bonus: Good Brother!Dick dialogue.

I personally love the fact that Dick told Jason that he's proud of him, even mentioning that Bruce probably is, too.

They're a pretty troubled family, but they sure do love each other, don't they?

that concludes all i've got for everyone today, see u in the post! don't forget to read the current Nightwing run, it's reallt good!

This Week in BL - It’s Getting Messy

April 2022 Wk 3

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying the most. Although I’m liking a lot of them right now. 

Ongoing Series - Thai

La Cuisine (GaGa Sat) Ep 7 - Ram taking a photo of Chup being happy because everybody likes his dumplings is the cutest thing ever. Also gnawing-on-knuckles adorable confession scene. I love this show. 

Cutie Pie (YouTube Sat) Ep 9 - not a whole lot happened but what did was pretty sexy. More pretty thn sexy, tho. Frankly, I’m a little bored with Lian & Kuea, I’d like to see more of the other couples.  

Star in My Mind (Fri YouTube) Ep 3 - it’s dangerous to give Mek a guest appearance, he’s so damn charismatic, we just pay attention to him. (Please don’t ask me why Dao isn’t using phi or P’Fah as direct address with his older brother, I’ve no idea. Speculation: they lived in Germany, so westernized family dynamic or a European parent?) Anygay, add in drunk boys all crushing on and flirting with each other + an epic a jealousy cuddle and suddenly I’m loving this show. It doens’t take much with me, okay? 

KinnPorsche (iQIYI Sat) Ep 3 - Finally, I’m starting to jive with this one. I like it when we get to see Porsche as a capable bodyguard, and I prefer it when it’s more serious (and messy gay) and less slapstick. So for me, the 2nd half of this ep was actually good. Great kiss, although it came out of nowhere. Still, I’m warming up to KP. I think it helps that Jeff finally showed up, if only in silhouette. 

What Zabb Man! (YouTube Sat) Ep 3 - in classic Star Hunter style this is a delightful hot mess, but in this case emphasis on delightful and hot. Oh it’s also messy af but I’m digging it and digging in. 

Meow Ears Up (GaGa Tue) Ep 2 - I am getting very “indulgent daddy” vibes from Mr. DD, and I’m not mad about it. Of course, I know we are in the kitty play arena (yes, it’s an actual kink) but still this daddy is awful fond. It’s great. 

Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul (iQIYI Weds) Ep 5 - The slow burn romance in this series is really well done. Not to mention all of the external tension with the doctors in competition and their various cases, it is great. This is a solid little show, a doubt it’ll end happy tho.

Triage (AISplay Mon) Ep 1 - Tin, a doctor, gets stuck in a time loop where he must stop a drunk college kid from dying in order to escape the loop. (I feel like I saw this Kdrama a few years ago and didn’t like it.) I am NOT a fan of time-loop narratives (I think I’m the only person on the planet who actively hates Groundhog Day) but I DO like a strong premise and this cast is killer - so I’m sticking with it (if possible). I don’t see how they will stretch the premise to 10 episode but I’m game to watch them try, and I hope it gets better distribution because I think this has broad appeal and is very well done.  

Cupid's Last Wish (YouTube Sun) Ep 4 - I guess I liked the “boy deals with a period” bit, glad they depicted that part of bodyswap, but still I’m not vibing with this show. 

Miracle of the Teddy Bear - ON HOLD, waiting for YT distribution

The Tuxedo (GaGa Sat) Ep 8fin - GMMTV: watch us regularly squander glorious chemistry on terrible scripts. The Tuxedo: hold my beer. I’m not gonna bother to review this because it MADE NO SENSE and I refuse to give it any bandwidth, but I really hope we see these boys again in something better and more worthy of them. 3/10 NOT RECOMMENDED 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Plus and Minus (Taiwan Viki Fri) Ep 3 - gosh it’s just GREAT. How nice to have Taiwan back in the game. Honestly, I love their style. Is “ classy queer” a thing, like the opposite of camp? This is it. Kinda the antidote to SCOY, should you need such a thing. Which I DO. 

Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai! AKA Mr Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss! (Japan Viki Fri) Ep 1 - honestly it’s JAPAN and they kissed in the first episode? What freaky alt-reality have I entered into? I LIKE it here. But, are they crossbreeding with Taiwan again? *settles back* Let’s just enjoy the ride on this one, I think it’s gonna be ADORABLE. But, never forget, Japan’s attitude is ALWAYS “here, hold my beer.” 

The Promise  (Vietnam YouTube) Ep 1 - stepbrothers trope, enemies to lovers, high school, reunion romance. Narrative has a “memoir” framework. Sort of Cherry Blossoms After Winter if they were enemies and a grumpy/tsundere pairing. Okay so maybe not CBAW at all. Seems like it could end up being sad, but production values are pretty high for a VBL so I’m gonna watch it. 

Gossip

New Thai BL Ai Long Nhai has started filming (based on y-novel of the same name by Nathakorn). Familiar faces include Porsch (Bright in Together With Me), Meen (Tul in LBC2), Yacht (everything), Gun & Pak (Valen & Kaitoon in Love Area) Jom (Jin in Nitman)  Nice (Arthur in Second Chance). I’m excited, this is obviously a pulp, but that cast is really GOOD. 

Thai BL Ghost Host, Ghost House has also started filming, stars Tod (Peat from Love Area). 

KBL Love Class starring Kim Tae Hwan and Han Hyeon Jun, drops May 13th on Bilibili to the Asian market, no word on international distribution. 

Idol Romance's KBL The Circumstances Of Pungdeok Villa Room 304 (based on a novel by Blue Code) will star Yoon Seobin & Kim Jiwoong (8 eps, 25min ea). That’s the same couple from Kissable Lips and I think this is Korea first instance of a repeat pair. Interesting. I thought they had great chemistry (although I didn’t like KL) so I’m happy about the casting. Plot: Happy-go-lucky third-generation chaebol kicked out by his father and told to man tf up. Ends up accidentally cohabitating with coworker of his dreams. Or something like that.

Kpop group DKZ’s prior album first week’s sales? 1,482. Latest comeback? 107,965. Why do we care, BL universe? Because the reason for that 100x increase? Most likely Park Jae Chan’s appearance as SongWoo in Semantic Error (and companion promo activities). Apparently he had to convince his company to let him do it. Do you feel drunk with power? I do. (source KPOP Junkee) 

In Case You Missed it

First ep of new VBL The Promise (Biển Lặng) dropped out of nowhere. It’s from director Oril ‘Domesticity4all’ Nguyen (My Monster in Law 2, Follow My Sunshine). Stepbrothers trope, high school, reunion romance. This one, I added it into my rotation. 

AisPlay has made the Thai BL adaptation of Love Stage!! available on YouTube with ENGSUB! 

Sing in Love AKA Koi Kogare Utae (adapted from the manga of the same name) got a trailer. It’s about sexual assault survival and looks dark. I intend to wait and see what those braver than me have to say after it ends. Thus I’m not going to bother trying to track the darn thing down. You’re on your own, let me know how it goes. 

Saneha Stories 4 - I’m watching it but it’s not BL, so I’m not covering it in the normal reviews. This is more like a very queer Friend Zone 2. Main character Nicky is an unlikeable hot bisexual (or just gay? whatever) mess. The usual “everyone wants him for no good reason.” And he’s being a chaos asshole about his identity crisis with lots of collateral damage. But hoe boy howdy is it GREAT to see Pulster again. Will SOMEONE please give this beautiful boy the lead in a BL? PLEASE.

Frankly, I think we have all waited long enough. Some of us since My Dear Loser. Thailand, it’s time. 

Next Week Looks Like This: 

On Tusday KBL Ocean Likes Me premiers on Viki aldo KimCop + Star Hunter’s latest That’s My Candy (also on Viki). My Secret Love (formerly Secret Admirer) was maybe supposed to start this week but I haven’t heard a peep in ages so maybe not. 

This week’s best moments?

Yes, thank you KinnPorsche, THIS is what I signed up for with this show. Please. 

We stan the confident king. 

Hi Mek. I had money on you never doing a BL. I guess all rocks crack under sufficient pressure. 

Except, yeah, it actually WAS. 

SUCH a manga shot, this one. Look @heretherebedork​: the hip-cock! 

SCOY is doing it again. 

I love them BOTH unreasonably already. 

I did a Takumi-kun on GaGa rewatch this week and caught this bit for the first time, pursuant to our gay marriage rep in BL convo... interesting that it’s in one of the very first and most iconic BLs ever, no? 

[strawberriebunn]

Oikawa is a beta, even though some may think he’s a alpha or even omega with how he acts. He has traces of both in his personality, but he’s very much in the middle. He doesn’t get ruts, nor heats, but he’ll help you out, wether it be taking you during your heat, you fucking him on your rut, or just casual love making if your just in between like him.

Iwaizumi is an Alpha, top of the ranks, and the embodiment of being the leader of the pack. He doesn’t really care if you’re an omega, beta, or alpha (but does secretly gravitate to omegas more due to his second gender). He’s possessive in his marking, scenting, all that jazz. Especially if you can give him pups. A bit aggressive on his rut tho, so probably say goodbye to your hips and back 👋 (it’s a damn good fucking though 14/10)

Matsukawa, another alpha. His large stature and his very obvious BDE (along w a large knot that is scary to his mate the first few times), brings him up next to Iwaizumi, tho still a lower status than him. Also another to not care what second gender his mate is, but also another one that will break your back and hips with how hard he’s gripping and ramming you into the mattress. Will always prep you tho, even when he’s just ready to just go(9/10 for effort my dude).

Hanamaki is a beta. Sure he may act cocky, and hang around all his alpha friends, but he’s a huge sub. That’s why he prefers alphas and betas, but will still take omegas. He’s more personality than second gender. (Still a fucking brat). Will take dildos up his ass and moan like a bitch. Play with his dick and he’s cumming on your hand in seconds. He’s sensitive to your touches and will beg for you too.

Kyotani is a omega. It might come to a surprise but here’s the point (my opinion •3•). He’s feisty, someone who doesn’t want to submit to others of higher rank (except for those where they gain his respect, ie. Iwaizumi), and will fight for better treatment than being treated like only a bitch to breed. Once his heat comes around tho, whiny, submissive, and a big crybaby (also a fucking brat).

Yahaba, beta. Sure he acts like he might be a alpha, but he knows damn well that he’ll cower once a real threat is in front of him. He’ll probably prefer either another beta or omega, just so his ego and pride won’t get hurt, but deep inside he would want a alpha to put him in his place, to be their bitch. (Also another fucking brat)

(@blurring-stars ahaha I’m back whoops-)

I- I have ascended 🥴

tw: breeding

Beta!Tooru who is running himself ragged trying to keep you satiated during your heat. He’s been pumping himself into you for hours on end at this point, trying to give you what you’ve been asking for. “Want your pups ‘ru, gimme pups.” Which is what was fueling him to go that much harder. He knows he can’t give you the knot you really want but that doesn’t stop him from lifting your bottom half up in the air ,out of the press he had you in, to just sit balancing in the air so that the cum he just pumped deep inside you hopefully sticks this time. (Since imma complete sub I had to make it somewhat self-indulgent for my fave.)

Alpha!Iwaizumi who is taking you brutally from behind with only one thing on his mind; to breed you. He’s normally not like this when it comes to your sex life, only this way once he’s in a rut. You knew it was coming when you realized he’d been a lot clingier this upcoming week, scenting and biting on your mate mark constantly. It’s not like you have any complaints when you’re just taking the brutal slams of his hips to your thighs, drooling all the awhile. You let out a loud drawn out moan once he finally pops his knot into you, babbling and grasping the sheets in front of you to try and ground you. Once you’ve come back to, you feel him nuzzling you’re neck muttering “ ‘m gonna fill you up, with m’ pups. “

Alpha!Issei whos plowing into you as far as he can possibly go, with you babbling incoherently beneath him in the press youre in. “ ‘m gonna give you my knot , ‘mega. You gonna take it?” he asks in a slow drawl. You barely have enough brain capacity to nod and utter a small “ ‘ssei “. Which is enough to tip him over the edge and shove all the way to his hilt. Your eyes widen and your mouth opens in a silent squeal , you can feel him in your cervix it seems. “Hurts ‘ssei , hurts.” you mumble out with tears flowing down your cheeks. “ I know, I know. Just hold out for me, gonna give you my pups, gonna make sure it sticks.”

Beta!Makki who is whimpering above you while he’s balls deep inside you. He’s only just sunk in and he already feels like he’s gonna explode inside you. “Hiro,” you start, “hiro look at me.” It takes him a sec but his eyes meet yours when you place your hand on his cheek gently. “ Want you to cum in me, want your cum. Can you do that for me ?” , you sweetly ask him and he gives you a nod before he gets to work. For as much of a brat he may be , he’d do anything for you should you ask. (If you couldn’t tell I am a complete bottom so my switch stuff might be horrible 😣)

Omega!Kentaro who begrudgingly agreed when you offered to help him during his heat “ I guess since we’re mates now.” he had told you. Which caused you complete and utter whiplash at this point since he’s below you whining and keening for you to sink down on him already. You had been teasing him and taking your time since he wanted to be bratty earlier, so you decided to take your time just to make him suffer. “Please. “ Please what Omega?” you quipped back at him. “Please- Alpha.” he whimpered out to you, catching you off guard but causing you to smirk, you wouldn’t let him know that of course. But it scratched that itch in your brain, very well. “Good Omega, that’s just what I wanted.” you purr out before sinking down onto him finally, resulting in a high pitched mix between a moan and keen to come out from below you.

Beta!Yahaba who was not expecting this to be how your rut went. I mean he’s not surprised since you are and alpha but he wasn’t expected him to be whining and sniffling for you to let him cum at least once since you began your romp. He figures he earned this treatment considering he was being an absolute brat when you first came to him. “I know you’re an alpha , but you want me to fuck you silly on your rut hmmm?” he had quipped when you told him it was coming soon. Little did he know he’d be the one getting fucked silly. Too bad he can’t cum until you say so though.

Hello my beloved! ( Can I call you that? And people it's platonic!) I have an idea and this is for pogtopia wilbur and ghostbur! Can you do a reader who loves painting and one morning they find a picture of them with a note about the reader confessing to then but they didn't do it in person because they were really nervous? Thank you!

And please take as much time as you want also could it be a long story? Thank you!

- Your beloved Moosh 🥺

Moosh, darling! Hello! Yes, you have my full permission to call me that, thank you for asking! This is the third time I've written this story because Tumblr just really enjoys screwing me over...

Also. You never clarified whether you wanted fluff or angst, but it's Pogtopia Wilby so I kinda just went with angst? If you want a happy end to this, I'll rewrite this no problem! But it won't be as long because... Well, you'll see. Also also, I didn't exactly know where to throw the Ghosty Bur in, so... Yeaaaah? He's at the end tho!

THE FIRST PART IS LIKE NEW NEW POGTOPIA WILBUR

TW: (Sorry it didn't save the first time) C!Schlatt, bruising, threatened hanging, self doubt

Perfect Picture of Imperfection (Pogtopia!C!Wilbur x GN!Painter!Reader)

Maybe you painted Schlatt's horns the wrong colour? Or his jawline was off? He was furious when you finally showed him your art piece... It was the best you could do with the few hours you were given! Paint physically couldn’t dry as fast as Schlatt wanted it to you… He didn’t seem to care when he threw the wooden frame of the torn canvas at you, giving you a dark bruise right above your eye, or when he started yelling at you and threatening to burn your art studio down to the ground.

Or even when he grabbed you and suggested to Quackity to hang you at the gallows for insulting the emperor of Manberg.

The man you had once been friends with grinned widely and nodded happily, “Yes, sir! Yes, sir!” He said, without a single care that you were a living human being, only giving a cheer as he picked you up so your feet were dangling on the ground, leaving you silent in terror. Tubbo only averted his gaze.

“Aww… You’re like a little fawn, caught in the torchlight of a traveller.” The ram hybrid smiled in a sickly sweet manner, causing the colour to drain from your face, “Come now, darling, I’m not a monster… You’re the only one of Wilbur’s sweet little subjects that he hasn’t gotten back, and here I thought you were his favourite… Or maybe he left you here to act as a sacrifice so they could all be off doing their own thing... Guess he prefers Niki over you…” He whispered as he dropped you, chuckling softly as you scurried out of the building as you quite literally ran for your life.

You called Wilbur when you were safely hidden in your house, gasps and sobs leaving your mouth quicker than tears could pool out of your eyes…

“(Y/n)... You can’t be calling me when-”

“Wil…?” You whispered into the communicator, your voice shaking enough to shut him up immediately, “He… He’s going to…” Hiccuping meekly, you curled in tighter on yourself as you heard Schlatt’s loud and pompous voice come over the speaker system he had hung up all around the once beautiful country, “I think I’m going to die here…”

The dead silence that followed through the line was sickening…

“Is it true…?” You couldn’t help but find yourself wondering aloud, “Is that why I’m the only one left here? Am I a sacrifice so you can live happily elsewhere? ...Is that why you haven’t come to get me?”

“(Y/n), I want you to never utter those words again.” His voice was dark and steely as there was a bit of crashing around that came from the other side as well as faint mumbles which were clearly from Tommy judging by all the swearing, “You are not a sacrifice. Now... Get your Enderchest and Inventory packed up, I’m coming to get you tonight, and then I’ll explain in person…”

The line cut off and you slowly lowered the communicator down from beside your ear. Your heart was sinking one minute, but soaring the next… A terrible feeling really. You were saved! But… He could get caught trying to come to get you… You couldn’t let that happen for sure. With a heavy sigh, you rubbed your eyes free of tears before standing up and beginning to shove any necessary equipment into your Enderchest, including your finished painting of Wilbur that you were going to give to him when he won the election… And finally, confess your feelings…

When midnight hit and the lights of the city finally died down, you climbed up onto your roof and looked around for the president, fear and paranoia flooding through your veins as your mind went wild. What if he got caught? What if he was trying to give you false hope? What if. What if. What if. These sort of questions buzzed around in your mind for an hour as you waited for your saviour to arrive…

Finally, when enough became enough and you decided he wasn’t coming, you stopped pacing and slowly sat down on the roof as the tears began to start again. You could practically hear Schlatt chiding you in the back of your mind, telling you that you were a fool for holding out hope.

“(Y/n)!” A low hiss came from beside you and a hand touched your shoulder. You certainly would’ve screamed bloody murder if another hand hadn’t quickly wrapped around your mouth, “Sh, sh, sh, it’s me… It’s Wilbur.” The voice soothed softly as the hand left your mouth, quickly allowing you to turn your head.

It didn’t feel real… Seeing him after so long… And in an outfit other than his uniform. “Wil...bur?” You repeated, staring at him for a while before giving him a soft smile filled with relief, “You really came…”

“Of course I did!” He almost seemed offended for a moment before his eyes softened as he realized what Schlatt must’ve drilled into your head. Wilbur easily caught you as you flung your self at him, quickly wrapping his arms around you and burying his face in your (h/l) (h/c) hair, “I missed my artiste…” He whispered, donning a temporary french accent for the word ‘artist’.

Holding back a sob, you quickly grabbed his extended hand and followed him as he jumped off your roof, safely landing in a bed of hay that you used to feed your old farm animals that Schlatt confiscated before following him out of this damned country.

After that, things seemed to change between you and Wilbur. He always seemed to be at your side, choosing to personally train you rather than letting Techno train you with everyone else, or even running over ideas on how to expand Pogtopia with you rather than with Tommy. His touches always lingered longer or he somehow wound up leaning closer to you than originally necessary, but you never caught yourself complaining. He would watch you paint beautiful designs along the armour he had gifted you, knowing full well it would chip off and was heavily unnecessary, but he only smiled and let you continue doing it as long as it didn’t interfere with enchantments.

Each day with Wilbur became better and better, but your heart physically couldn’t take it any longer, you had to tell him that you felt this way for him… The way that you had to fight back the reddening of your cheeks when his chest pressed against your back as he adjusted your stance in training, or the way you had to struggle to regulate your breathing every time he complimented you on how far you had come…

He was going to be the death of you…

Your already calloused hands were bruised and blistered, but somehow, you were still able to hold a quill, pinched in between the fingers of your dominant hand. Wilbur had come to your Pogtopia home this morning, but upon realizing that he had knocked you to the ground a little too hard yesterday as you were incredibly stiff and sore, he let you have the day off of training.

This was at least a little chance… You had torn a page from your notebook and sat down at your handmade desk with a bitter sigh. Trust me, you wanted to tell him in person, but you were just too scared… Plus, maybe you could play it off as someone pulling a prank on him if it went south.

Biting your lip, your fingers treated the quill as a brush, delicately running the ink dipped tip over the top of the paper, letting your heart control what words you wanted the ink to form.

Wilbur,

You don't realize how much you mean to me. Although we've been friends for only a year, I feel as though I've known you my entire life. My connection to you is already so deep, and my love for you is already so strong that I can't remember what my life was like before we met. Even more, I can't imagine my life without you now. I can't imagine the future without you, either.

You have saved my life several times already. You have even saved me from myself several times, too! I am so thankful for your guidance and care. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I know that I can just give you a call. I know I can depend on you and, with your help, everything will turn out well.

I want you to know how I really feel. It's time for you to know that I'm ready to admit how much I care for you, how much you mean to me. I know, this isn’t the best timing in our lives, but I trust it will get better through your leadership. I love you, Wilbur.

Please, don't ever forget how much I love you.

Love, (Y/n) (L/n)

Sighing, you put the quill into the inkpot and put your head in your bandaged hands. ‘This is going to work. It will work. Go on. Have faith in yourself, as Wil said…’ You took a few deep breaths and stood up, picking up the letter once it was dry and reading it over as many times as you physically could before your mind couldn’t handle it any longer.

Walking to the door, you cracked it open to search for any sign of your president, sighing again as you realized he was likely out helping gather resources. “Is… This enough?” You mumbled sadly as you stared down at the simple letter before looking at your Enderchest in thought. Surely you could give him a few emeralds or some gold… Yeah! That’s what you’d do! Smiling in victory, you quickly wandered over to the chest and opened it, digging through it for a few moments.

It was sort of empty…

You groaned as you remembered that you haven’t really been one of the miners or forgers for Pogtopia. Instead, you were one of the warriors, focused on protecting others instead of gathering supplies.

Going to shut the chest, you suddenly paused as you saw something colourful resting at the bottom. Pushing aside your old L’Manberg uniform, you gasped as you found your old painting of Wilbur from a few months ago. It was old, yes, and a little dusty but you were still proud of it even now! Perfect.

Pulling out the painting, you began to lightly brush the dust off of the picture, smiling at the splashes of paint and colour forming a picture. It was your magnum opus.

It was a painting of Wilbur holding up a massive L’Manberg flag against the sunlight with a wide smile and hope in his eyes… This was the day that L’Manberg won independence from DreamSMP…

Standing up again, you quickly hurried out the door and walked to Wilbur’s room, silently creaking open the door and looking around, even though you were well aware that he was gone for the day. You walked over to his desk and gently setting the painting down on top of the countless sheets of work, making sure not to mix up any of the papers, then putting your letter on top where he could see it before hurrying out before you could change your mind.

Thankfully you got out when you did because, by the time you pulled an already baked potato out of the furnace, Wilbur came down the stone stairs, looking extremely exhausted, “(Y/n), my artiste…” He murmured with a smile, “I’m glad to see you’re still up and going… I was worried we would have to make you a healing pot.”

“It’s not too bad… It’s mostly just my hands that hurt.” You chuckled and held up your shaking bandaged hands, “You want me to cook you up some potatoes and carrots? Or I could maybe try and get some steak cooked up before you go to work?”

Wilbur tried to smile a bit, deciding not to question why your hands were shaking so badly, taking everything out of his inventory and placing them in their designated chests. “No, no… It’s alright. I’m going to go get ready for Tubbo’s report… I’ll see you later tonight, okay?”

You gave him a small wave before Wilbur disappeared into his office. Taking a sharp intake of breath, you quickly followed after him and peeked through the tiny crack in the door where he didn’t close it all the way. He stood in his room silently for a moment before throwing his hat off at a wall, screaming into hands, muffling it heavily to the point where you wouldn’t have heard it if you were still near the furnaces. Wilbur threw off his jacket before plopping himself into his chair with his head in his hands for a few moments, then lifting it to stare at the painting that you had placed.

He was still for a long time, then he slowly picked up the note, his eyes softened slightly before his face broke out into a wide and genuinely happy smile before his mouth twitched and the smile began to fall, tears bubbling into his chocolate coloured eyes. Wilbur held the note up to his chest and slouched back against his chair, sobbing into his hand, whispering ‘I’m so sorry’ repeatedly.

Frowning, you realized that he physically couldn’t return your love because of the stress of caring for Pogtopia and trying to win back L’Manberg. With a sad smile, you stood up and walked to your room, putting your head down as you saw water droplets hit the stone below you, “It wasn’t a no…” You tried to tell yourself, ignoring the tears running from your eyes as you shut the door, sliding down to your knees.

The next few weeks after that were hell, the complete opposite of the Utopia that you were blinded by for the past month. Wilbur asked Techno to pick up your training, and he never even spoke to you about it again… It was the Piglin hybrid that awkwardly told you. During dinner, Wilbur would practically eat as little as possible as he ignored you, trying to make any situation where he would be in the same room as you as short as possible.

“Wil-...” You reached out to the president but watched as he only gave you the saddest gaze before walking past you as if he never saw you. But he would have no problems talking to Niki, or anyone else! It wasn’t fair!

Time ticked by in a haze of fog and you quickly watched the man you had once fallen in love with becoming a complete shadow of his former self… It was sickening… He… Lost it… His mind was becoming twisted… And all you could do was watch in horror…

You knew something was wrong when he crept away from the festival and the celebration… But you just decided that he was going to take a break from the excitement. He was quite old after all…

Then the ground shook with booming roars as TNT blew craters into the earth, sending debris scattering and people screaming, scattering for their lives. Gasps of terror escaped your lips as you realized the cause of it all… You hopped over gunpowder scented broken stone and batted the smoke away as you saw the final picture to paint the last stroke of horror in your heart.

There was a blond man with massive avian wings holding a diamond sword glimmering with enchantments as the brunet clung to his clothing, slowly sinking to his knees. With a sob of despair, you watched the man you once loved so dearly, get stabbed through the chest by his own father.

“WILBUR!” You shrieked, your ears ringing from the blast as you sunk to your knees, sobs racking your frame violently. Wilbur’s head lazily rolled to look in your direction…

And in his last dying breath… He smiled…

-

“That painting…” A light airy whisper echoed through the darkened stone halls of your home, “It’s familiar… Yet so foreign...”

You gave a hum as you hung your netherite armour on your stand before turning to stare at the spectral figure floating in your doorway, “Which painting, Ghostbur? There’s many… You have to elaborate.”

“Right! Because you’re an artiste!” The transparent male chirped happily, not seeming to notice your flinch, “I mean the one hanging above the fireplace, of Alivebur.”

“Right…” You nodded, following behind the eager sweater-wearing ghost down the eerie hallways and into the office, "I'm going to take it down... I think it's doing more harm than good..."

Ghostbur didn't seem to understand your reasoning, but he didn't say much, knowing that Alivebur hurt many people... But he didn't think he hurt you, "It's pretty though... But your art style has changed, in a good way though!" He smiled softly as you opened the large dark oak double doors.

You walked past your grand dark oak desk to stare at your former magnum opus, dangling above the unlit fireplace. "Hey, Bur, if you have a flint and steel, could you light the fire please?" You glanced over and watched him nod as he dug through his pockets. In the meantime, you climbed up onto the mantle and began to struggle to pull the canvas off the wall. With a bit of hassle, you managed to pull it down and toss it onto the ground before climbing down, just in time for your ghost friend to light the fire.

"Don't damage it, (N/n)! It's still really good!" Ghostbur scolded you with a pout once you hopped down and picked the canvas up, "And you used to be proud of it!"

"I'm not, don't fret too m-" You paused mid-sentence as you saw a letter tucked into the bottom corner of the back of the painting. Frowning in confusion, you slowly picked it up and turned it over into your hand, only to discover that it was addressed to you in fancy cursive, sealed with a light red and white wax seal, "What's this?"

He looked over at you and tilted his head, seeming almost as genuinely confused as you were. Ghostbur shrugged as you propped the painting up against the wall before sitting at your desk, using your letter opener for its purpose, "Love letter, perhaps?"

"I doubt it..." You mumbled softly as you carefully unfolded the paper, recognizing that it was probably a few years old, "Let's see... Who wrote this..." You hummed before beginning to read.

My darling artiste... I'm sure by the time you read this, I'm either dead or... Well, most likely dead, if all goes to plan...

I am writing this letter to you to let you know that life without you is not the same. Life without you is very sad and lonely. I have realised that it was you who keep me alive and cheerful.

I thought I would get used to your absence from my life, but every day has been harder when I think of all the good times we spent together.

There are so many things which I want to confess. It's killing me because I don't want you to go another day without knowing how I feel about you.

And I'm not able to tell you I'm in love with you.

What an idiot I am.

And for the past few days, I've been trying to figure out, why there aren't some words to describe it. I want to tell you exactly how I feel but there isn't a single goddamned word in the entire dictionary that can describe my love for you.

But I need that word. I need it because I want you to hear me say “I love You". I want to make the sweetest gestures in front of you which make you feel even more loved.

Trust me... I know... I act like an absolute ass towards you. I'm so scared of your life being in more danger than it was... I really did love you, and still do, but I didn't want it to hurt you more when I blow up L'Manberg...

Darling, I could have simply called you on your communicator and took you out on a surprise date but I couldn't have expressed my feelings. You have become an integral part of me. I want to give you all my love throughout my life.

The painting you made me is beautiful and I will cherish it for as long as I'm alive... It's a perfect picture of imperfection...

I Love You, (Y/n), even if by now you'll never love me back.

- Wilbur Soot

"That... That idiot..." You whispered, holding your head in your hands in an attempt to hide the tears from Ghostbur, "He planned blowing up L'Manberg from the beginning... That's why he refused to acknowledge me after I... He wanted me to hate him..."

Ghostbur held a bit of blue in his hands tightly, avoiding your gaze as you murmured to yourself, "Yeah... Most of my happiest memories involve you... That's why I couldn't understand when you said Aliverbur hated you..." He glanced away again as he saw you look at him.

"(Y/n)... Are you ever going to move out of Pogtopia?"

"Probably not for a long time, Ghostbur."

Hi! I love all of your works and I love the way you write the crows! I read your crows x introverted!reader, and I was wondering how they'd react to her stubbing her toe and swearing out loud, sorry that idea has just been in my head for so long😂. It's totally fine if you can't tho, have a good day/night!🤩🥰

Filter Disappearing Rapidly

a/n - thank youuu lovely, I wrote Kaz a little softer than usual, barely noticeable yet extremely noticeable haha. Lemme know if you want another part with Nina and Matthias, I just wanted to get something shorter out tonight for you! Xoxo 💗❤️

Warnings: swearing, brief mention of drinking and gambling, and that's it I believe!

You were not one for loud shouts or chaos, rather preferring the quiet and the tranquility that came with it, sending waves of relaxation over you as you would slump in your seat and allow your muscles to relax.

This meant, the Crows would never take you for the kind of person to yell or shriek, nor curse or be impolite.

However, Kaz had caught you muttering some quite crude words beneath your breath, only once, when your day had been going particularly badly and you had forgotten you were needed for a heist.

His eyebrows had raised in surprise, mouth almost dropping open before he recalled where he was and promptly clenched his jaw to keep a shocked guffaw from leaving his lips.

But just because you did not say anything out loud, in fear of offending those around you or drawing attention to yourself, something you were very much against, it did not mean you did not think up unspeakable insults, unrepeatable words and make use of the existing ones too. In your head of course.

You had never sworn out loud, except for the time you obliviously had no clue Kaz was listening in to your rambling. This in no means expressed you did not speak in that way when you were in private either: instead, you would expel your frustrations in your room verbally, unlike Kaz's tendency to throw ornaments at walls or Jesper's likelihood to turn to drink and gambling.

So, when your toe rammed into the cabinet near your desk, and you could no longer control yourself, filter disappearing rapidly as you clutched your foot and hopped slightly, you yelped.

Loudly.

Extremely, loudly.

"Fuck!" Was your exclamation, the sound of feet quickly stomping down the stairs from Kaz's office heard a moment later, your hand leaning onto the very same cabinet that had so rudely attacked you moments earlier.

Inej sprinted into the room, almost skidding to a halt, Jesper hot on her heels as your face twisted into a further grimace than previously.

Her eyes were blown wide and hands shaking at the thought of something happening to you, her most prescious loved one.

"Are you okay, (Y/N)?"

Kaz had long since hobbled down the stairs after them, shaking his head at their dramatic hightailed exit, but he was really acting as though he did not care because he wanted to truly set his worries aside.

He was now scanning the room, eyes squinted for any sign of a struggle as Inej observed you closely, huffing in relief when she saw it was only your foot you were cradling, wincing as you tapped your index finger gently against your big toe.

Jesper too followed her line of sight and grinned amusedly, though still quivering himself.

Before she thought about what she was doing, Inej had pressed you against her in a tight hug, pecking your forehead as she pulled away.

"You really worried me, you know?"

You only hummed affirmatively as Kaz sighed in partial annoyance and partial thankfulness you were okay. He made the sound exaggerated, to fully convey his anger, only to stop when you began to cower a little.

He shook his head once more and allowed you, and only you, to see the twinkle appearing in his eye, telling you he was not really upset.

Your eyes shut languidly for a long blink in gratefulness as your boss swivelled on his heel and ascended to his office once more, ready to retreat into his paperwork.

"Wow, who knew that the (Y/N)(L/N) could swear?"

He saw your glance of concern and self consciousness, almost squirming with the attention of both he and your girlfriend, one fussing over you and the other teasing you.

"Not to say you aren't still an angel, darling." He added reassuringly.

You knew it was silly to be withdrawn about the topic, acknowledging the sharpshooter often swore too. But it couldn't be helped, and in a fleeting thought you found yourself not particularly minding after the care of your friends and significant other.

hi hi hello @ my followers who use laptops, I have questions!

I’m in dire need of a new laptop, so I’ve been looking and god is it confusing. there are just so many. I’ve been interested by one - a Lenovo 2 in 1 - but I’m not sure and now I’m thinking about a MacBook Air (just the 2020 one)

Just to let you know my current laptop is very bad. It’s a 2017 HP laptop, 4GB RAM, slow af and drops internet constantly. Yet it’s done me well and done everything I needed it to, even as far as pushing it to run photoshop and let me play the sims. It’s a pain though.

I’m also not a brand loyalist. Don’t really want HP again. I’ve only had three laptops of my own - including an mini Acer 13 years ago which lasted 4 years and was still working when replaced, and a Toshiba which lasted 5 years and its a miracle it did tbh. I think if I got a charger for it, it would still turn on, which would be great bc I want stuff off it. This HP has lasted 6 years which is insanity. I’ve really only used it for assignments tho.

So, my questions are just…is a MacBook worth it, if you have one? What are the pros and cons? I think my big issue is the fact that it doesn’t utilise Word. I know you can get Office for Mac, but Word is actually so important esp. cos I’m doing my dissertation. And there’s Google Docs I guess, but I haven’t used it unless working with someone who does. And you can use Office online, but I kinda like not needing to rely on the internet. Idk.

Also, just would like opinions on laptops and what’s good and what you prefer bc I’m seriously just tired of looking and want to hear from people who aren’t techbro youtubers.

A/N: here it is!!! my mando massage fic. if enough people yell at me i’ll entertain the idea of a part 2. for science. also this probably isn’t even his bed but whatever!!! canon has no consequence in this household!!

“Mando,” you called out to him, “Are you alright?”

A grunt, barely audible from beneath his helmet. You pushed away from the console, standing in the cockpit and turning towards where he sat in the pilot seat. Mando didn’t turn his head away from the front viewport but he stiffened slightly at your proximity, his shoulders tense and his hands tight around the ship controls. He was always so… wound up. Some might call it vigilance, but you preferred telling him he had a stick up his ass. Right now, he had a whole forest.

You reached to rest your hand on the pauldron of his beskar, fingertips only barely grazing steel before a firm grip was locked around your arm. Soft leather pressed against the underside of your wrist, his hold unrelenting and silent. He still hadn’t looked back at you. Stubborn. Quiet and stubborn.

You pulled away - although you knew you were only able to because he let go. Heaving a dramatic sigh, you shook your head and flopped back down into the chair. So the walking tin can didn’t want to talk. Fine. Maker knows he barely spoke anyways. Still, he could at least tell you what was wrong. Not that- not that you cared. About him. No. It’s just that when he was in a bad way, like he’d been for the past few days - he didn’t exactly lend himself to good company. It just made for an unpleasant time, is all. You didn’t care.

——-

Another groan, deep and heavy as the Mandalorian stood up from the pilot’s seat. His movements were slow and strangely stiff, a far cry from his usual posture. You imagined a rusty droid, unoiled and worn from years of use, and the image prompted a laugh to bubble up in your throat before you silenced it with a hand over your mouth. Apparently it wasn’t quick enough, though, because a gravelly “what?” accompanied the slight cock of his helmet.

“Nothing, nothing,” you shook your head, the smile slow to fade from your lips. “It’s just- are you sure you’re not hurt or anything?” Shifting around in your chair to rest your feet on the center console, you narrowed your eyes with a teasing smirk. “Or are you just getting old?”

You knew he really was in a bad way when he didn’t bother to answer, only sighing as he - finally - managed to reach his full height. “I’m going to take a look at the engine,” the Mandalorian said gruffly, stepping towards the main hangar. You hummed in acknowledgement, examining the beds of your nails with an air probably too casual for someone who was sharing oxygen with a known killer. You could hold your own, though. He knew that. Maker, that was half the reason why you were here. The other half had to do with a very small, very strange baby who was now napping in its pod behind you. “Get your feet off my ship.”

You rolled your eyes, not bothering to look back as your hand came up to form a less than lady-like gesture. So much for class and decorum.

——–

You were going to kill him. You were going to rip the beskar off his stupidly toned chest and use it to beat him into the damn ground. He was being such a… such an… an ass!

The Mandalorian had always been terse, you were used to that, but this was something else. He’d nearly driven you to tears the other day and barely apologized, only stalking off to his quarters like a petulant child with nothing other than a “m’sorry.”  Yeah, sorry your ass. If he was sorry he would tell you what was going on. It wasn’t the bounties, which were plenty and easily found.  It wasn’t the child. It wasn’t you- at least you hoped it wasn’t. So what was it?

It took Mando snipping at you one night for no particular reason, his tone patronizing and clipped, for you to finally confront him. Jamming an angry finger into the metal of his chest plate, you raised your head to meet the slit of his visor. “What the fuck is wrong with you, Mando?”

Your voice was harsh but whispered, not wanting to wake the child sleeping in the cockpit. He moved to push your hand away but you shoved it back, fingers splaying against leather and beskar as your gaze stiffened. “No, stop it. What’s going on? Why are you acting like this?”

“It’s nothing.” He ducked his head down, the chin of his helmet meeting his chest. Scoffing, you stepped back and shifted your weight to one leg, your eyes on him unrelenting. For someone whose job description included lying, he wasn’t very good at it. At least, not with you.

“Obviously it’s something,” you said a little softer. He let you touch him this time, your hands coming up to the dips of his shoulder that lay uncovered by armor. Another groan escaped him, barely audible but slightly pained when you pressed the stiff muscles. You furrowed your brows at the sound. “Are you hurt?”

The Mandalorian shook his head at this, but you remained unconvinced. Realizing something, you resisted the urge to laugh as you pushed your hands down against his shoulders again. It wasn’t very hard and you doubt he could feel much through the thick fabric of his shirt, but it was enough for a deep gasp to be clear through the modulator. He wasn’t injured. He was sore.

You dug your thumbs into the cords of muscle, your tone lighter than it had been in weeks. “You really are getting old, aren’t you?”

“I’m-” he hissed when you flattened your palms, “fine.”

“Mando…”

The Mandalorian’s gloved hands reaching to pull you away. Fingertips ghosted across your arms, hesitant. You sighed, shaking your head as if to rid the air of perceived ill intentions. “I don’t know if you noticed, but you haven’t exactly been pleasant to work with lately.”

You imagined a smile beneath the helmet when he huffed at your words, but maybe that was wishful thinking.

“Yeah, I know. M’sorry.” Ah, there it was again. This time, though, you could tell he meant it. You let your hands fall to your side.

“Y’know…” Oh, this was a bad idea. You were definitely overstepping. Completely off your rocker. “I could help you.”

“What?” Were you dreaming, or did his voice really just drop an octave?

“I could um-” you swallowed, steeling yourself for the rejection you were almost certain of. “I could help. You. If you wanted me to. I mean I wouldn’t- kriff I don’t know! I don’t know why I-”

“Stop talking.”

You swallowed again, lips parted in shock and your voice wavering slightly. “Okay.”

“Help me how?” He stepped closer in the darkness of the hall, his feet coming near enough that you widened your own to compensate.

“You’ve got to have like, a thousand knots in your back, Mando. I’ve seen your bed.” You laughed to cover the rising flush in your cheeks. “Not much of a bed, if you ask me.”

“I didn’t.”

Funny. He was funny. It was a joke, right? Even after so long, you could barely tell. Hazards of the helmet, you supposed. It made things, at least for you, very, very awkward.

“Look, just-” you screwed your eyes shut, fingers rubbing circles into your temples. “If not for your sake then for mine and the kid’s, alright? If that’s all that’s making you act like an ass, then it’s something that I- that we can fix.”

Armor shook slightly with another deep breath, his sigh bone-deep and echoing slightly through the ship. “Fine.”

“Okay?”

“Okay.”

———

He was just… standing there. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think he was nervous. Maybe he was. “You’ll have to take off all your armor, you goof.”

“I know.” The words were tight, stretched over with something you couldn’t place.

“Hey, it’s fine,” you assured him, your voice kinder. “Relax, tin can. I’ve seen a lot worse.” You winked when he reached to undo his pauldron. “Need some help?”

Sighing, the Mandalorian sat on the edge of his bed, although calling it that was a bit generous. It was a pad probably six inches thick laid on a slab of metal. No wonder he was in such a foul mood lately. Your own cot, shoved in a too-small storage closet with an old cape (his old cape, actually) as a blanket, seemed much more appealing. Maybe he was just a masochist or something. Maybe this was some sort of weird Mandalorian penance. Or maybe he just didn’t have anywhere else to sleep.

A cough you drew your mind out of your thoughts and back on the man behind you, his armor now a careful pile on the floor. Shedding anything else was apparently a bridge too far, but it was still the most exposed you’d ever seen him. “It’d probably be easier if you um… laid down. On your stomach.” The Mandalorian nodded slowly, pushing himself up on the bed and letting his head fall. Stifling a laugh at his movements, you stepped closer. Oh. Oh no.

“Mando?” He grunted in acknowledgement, his arms straightening besides him. “I- I won’t really be able to reach standing. Is it okay if I-” you winced at your words, hoping he wouldn’t be able to notice the way your face burned. “Sit? On the bed?”

The Mandalorian sat up slightly, his elbows knocking against metal. “You mean on me?”

You nodded, tongue heavy and dry on the roof of your mouth. “It’s fine, really. If you don’t want me to I can just-”

“You can. If you want to.”

Fuck fuck fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Okay. That was good, right? He trusted you. You trusted him. You could give your co-worker/associate/bounty hunter-you-flirted-with-when-you-got-drunk a back rub without it being weird, right? Right.

“Tell me if you want me to stop.”

You climbed onto the bed, careful not to ram your head into anything. This was the nearest you’ve been since- since never, actually. You can’t remember, in all your years of hunts and missions and times aboard the Crest, ever being this close to him. Every rise of his chest, every jostle of his hips and micro-movement that had never been afforded to you before was on display now, inches away and undeniably human. His shirt had ridden up slightly when you moved to straddle his legs and you could see skin, tan and strong and battle-wearied. Not a tin can, after all.

You’d rested your hands on the Mandalorian’s shoulders for balance, not realizing it until his own curled into themselves, gripping the hems of his shirtsleeves until his knuckles stretched pale. Frowning, you coaxed his palms open until they rested at his sides. There. Much better.

The metal against your knees was cold, uncomfortably so, but he was warm underneath you, solid and impossibly still. You moved to the juncture of his neck, the skin there drawn tight with the weight of armor and expectations, and strings of hurried apologies followed every knead of your hands. He called your name, the sound rumbling through his chest, and you bit your lip.

“Yeah?”

“Stop apologizing.”

You grew quiet. Exactly why you listened to the Mandalorian so easily you didn’t want to think about. You blamed the water. He was probably slowly poisoning you until you went mad for his own amusement.

Everything was dampened in recycled air and hazy blue light, pulsing something that had always been present but now was coming to a head and growing a face that you refused to look in the eye. Now was not the time. There would never be a time. You would sooner step out of the limits of space itself until you were stretched thin, enveloped and spun dizzy in the quiet horror of a supernova, than admit there could ever be a time.

Catching a swollen cord of muscle along his back, you pushed down with the heel of your palm and something big shot out to grip at the side of your thigh, its touch unrelenting and so sudden that a gasp was caught in the back of your throat. It was his hand. It was just his hand. So why the fuck could it cover half your leg and then some? Why the fuck was he pressing enough to probably leave bruises?

His hand retracted as quickly as it came, accompanied only with a low noise you could’ve sworn was a whimper. You didn’t want to admit to yourself that you were disappointed, only returning your attention to the task at hand. Maybe you should treat this as a mission. Keep yourself sane and from doing something irredeemably stupid. Great, yeah. Mission to get the knots out of Mando’s back so he would stop being a prick. An awesome game plan, really. Infallible.

Squeezing slightly at the flesh between his shoulder blades, you let your fingernails scrape against the bare skin of his neck until the fabric of his collar gaped. The smallest hint of curls peeked through the underside of the helmet. Brown. Huh. You thought they’d be darker.

Every drag of your knuckles brought a sound, whether it was a huff of air or a downright moan, but you tried not to think about it. You just blocked everything out, warbling your senses until you felt submerged in imagined water and not-imagined skin and words better left unsaid. You mapped every curve of stiff muscle, down the deep slope of his back and over fabric that wasn’t thick enough to conceal the ridges, the landscapes and jagged reminders of enemy encounters. You found yourself liking them, though. The scars.

You’d pushed the shirt up eventually, whispering “is this okay?”  before the Mandalorian nodded quickly, dark cloth gathering around his shoulders and bunching up where it lay against his neck. His skin was hot now, burning and lighting fuses on every frayed nerve on the tips of your fingers until you swore you’d grown numb, drunk on contact and the twilight fog of shared lifetimes. It really had been lifetimes. Since you’d met him. Since you’d touched someone like him. Like this.

You were too caught up in it, lost in your own thoughts and so focused on trying not to cross a line or hurt him that you didn’t notice he’d turned onto his back, his hands coming up rest at the swell of your hips.

He pushed up onto his elbows until your forehead fell against the helmet, the beskar against your skin like ice on a desert morning. Your eyes fluttered shut, hands coming to brace themselves on his covered chest. Everything was slow, like syrup was poured into your head and down your throat until it settled into something biting at the base of your spine, a crawling smoke of ungloved fingers and parted lips. He lifted the hem of your shirt and the edge of his helmet dipped to the curve of your neck. The words were shaky through his modulator, hoarse and dulcet. “Is this okay?”

“Yeah,” you said softly, reaching to grip at his biceps. “Yeah that’s okay.”

part two

[stellocchia]

Quick thing i dont care much about dadschlatt I mean i will read it sometimes but I prefer Dad Sparklez

It is late at night for me and I am tired so here is my tired thoughts

Dadschlatt au: Modern-ish i guess. I mean it is a city but they are still ram hybrids so.. anyways

Schlatt still fucking dies of a heart attack. Is it a heart attack who knows but mr business man here dies with the only care he gave his son (Tubbo) was giving everything to him

So Tubbo 16 to 17 now is the ceo of schlatt's company even tho he literally ran away from his dad at like 14 and is now living with Childhood best friend Tommy (Bunny hybrid) and Ranboo (who they found in a trash bin a year ago)

So instead of living in a small 1 or 2 bedroom apartment they are now living in a big penthouse with multiple bedrooms.

The issue that comes from giving your kid a company is that he doesnt know how to run it. Tommy and Ranboo are not helpful.

So basically a au that has to deal with Tubbo (and Ranboo + Tommy too I guess) running a company while dealing with "I swear my father hated me"

Now Schlatt is/was a shitty dad but he did love his son... kinda I mean he did but he put literally everything else above him

===

Fun things in this au!!

- Tommy works a retail job. He hasnt been fired because he is one of their best employes

- Ranboo is a babysitter as a job. This is were you would see Shroud, Michelle, Foolish jr and Finley, Michael, Yogurt, and Rosie (I did this do there is more than 2 girls)

- While Phil and Techno are more in the background they run another company.

- Quackity was Schlatt ex-husband. They were married up until Schlatts death where Quackity discovered that your husband had a kid and gave you shit.

^^ Actually gave him his favorite house and lots of money. Quackity wanted the comapny tho

- Tubbo has burned a building down before. He said it was a accident. Maybe it was or maybe it wasnt who knows

- Crimeboys is background

- Wilbur works at the same job as Tommy. Why he isnt the best worker? It is because he does just above normal

- Fundy is Wilbur's younger brother so Yogurt is his nephew. Everyone in that Family learned dont let Fundy name anything else

- I am stopping here or I will keep rambling

===

That is all hope you enjoyed my tired brain just adding and adding stuff when this post was just suppose to say schlatt dies and the company goes to Tubbo who doesnt know how to run a company

Anyways hope you have a great day and after this post I am going to bed

(I wrote this at 12/1 am. I really should stick to my bedtime)

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

(Also know any fics like this?)

Huh, that sounds like a fun fic!

But also no, I don't think I've ever read anything like this? I don't really read much that has dadschlatt be a prominent part of it honestly. I'm just generally uninterested.
