☆,
gamer bf kaneki..
he def plays ow, val, cod, & fort.. all the sluttiest games a man can play.
trust he sweats in each game too.
he'd be caught dead before he's ever bad at a game ..
he literally spends most of all his days gaming, it's a lil insane how much he just lets it rot his brain
he never rage quits but he screams so much & it's hilarious
eventually he realizes that he hasn't given you any attention & tells his friends that he has to get off for a couple hours, just for you
ken decides to start streaming one day & that day marked your fucken demise
he sets up a hand & face cam.. when you're against it, he's so confused.
you're sat there for at least ten minutes explaining to him how girls will go feral for this
one day you tune into his stream & you see multiple comments like "for free??" "wish he'd play with me" "why's he kinda.." "the veins.."
on one hand you're jealous, but on the other- you're happy knowing that he's your boyfriend
"baby can you bring me some water please" ken says in the softest voice ever, it damn near has you topple over nd roll around
you bring it to him nd he thanks you with a couple pecks
the chat is going absolutely wild?? both over his voice & him actually not being single
but what could they expect?
ken was a good looking, handsome, pretty, charming boy.. & literally every other word you could think of
he always had that sleepy look & he usually paired it with blue light glasses that made him look all the more nerdy
sometimes he'd even be shirtless & his collarbone would have you gasping for air
on some days ken didn't care about streaming
he'd sit you next to him or even on him & just have you watch him play
he'd look towards you after hitting the nastiest shots/clips on kids to make sure you saw it
some days you ask him if he wants to play minecraft with you & he never objects.. he will always make time for you when you ask for it
he introduces you to the game "it takes two" and streams when the two of you play
everyone ends up loving the dynamic you have & the way you treat each other
eventually chat starts suggesting that ken teaches you how to play the other try hard games.. so he starts with the easier one: fortnite
you think to yourself why any of them thought this would be easy for you bc it has you screaming for kaneki's help half the time you get into a close combat gunfight
he tries teaching you how to build & you end up putting random walls & stairs everywhere
he just laughs at you bc he genuinely finds it easy & can't seem to understand why it's difficult for you ??
"no sweetheart, you actually have to have structure behind your building" "i'm fucken trying ken??" "not hard enough??" "ok then you do it???"
bro builds an 8 story mansion in 20 seconds and it has you gagged
whole chat is like "were you silent or were you silenced..??"
when you start wanting to take gaming a lil more seriously, he teaches you how to play on mouse nd keyboard just like him
he even buys you a cute lil setup, & ofc its right next to his
when he introduces you to val, all the pick me's are targeting ken & it's funny asfk when they find out his gf is in the game too
they're all like "you're shit at the game anyway stfu" like HUHH?? mad bc he ain't yours lmao
also can i mention that ken is a proud "shit on" SCREAAAAMER
he has your initials in different colored keys than the rest of his keyboard
holds one of your stuffed animals on his lap when you're away from home
jokingly asks you for support under the desk (its not a joke..)

somebody once left a tag under my gifset that went something like “i wish this wasn’t edited so much :(” and it pissed me off so bad i still remember it half a year later. like okay. make one yourself then. you can have all the dull base colours you want in the world, ain’t nobody stopping you. why are you saying this to me tho.
Yeah nah, I feel you completely. That's fucken upsetting.
I remember back in the day when I started making own little gif psds (looking back they were uh.. something, for sure), someone left a long comment rambling how I don't understand just how much work and money goes into color correcting film/tv show footage and that I was ruining it. And granted, I was doing very much overblown blues with a pastel flair, so it definitely did not look natural, but it was such a wild comment, like my dude I'm just trying to make a creative coloring on tungle dot com, not a commentary on someone @ HBO color correcting RAW film footage lmao.
I just feel like it all maybe stems from this internet "like & subscribe & comment" phenomenon where everyone's pressured to have a take on every single thing possible, thus it makes people think that their opinion is more important than it actually is and should be voiced at all times. And I'm just like.. sometimes it's ok to not say stuff lmao ESPECIALLY to a stranger on the internet.

oh lmao
so when i got to work, i asked the guy sitting next to me (they finally filled that chair after literal years of nobody sitting there during the day) if anything notable had happened while i was gone.
he was like idk i don't think so and then volunteered to help me lift stuff if i needed it. he's a good kid. we'll call him david.
so david goes back to work, and james pipes up that the last remaining manager of the old guard (6+ years) was fired while i was out. and that there are no plans to replace her. which is fucking WILD, because that department was the first to HAVE a manager due to how complicated it is, AND it's physically separated from the rest of the warehouse by a door you need a keycard to get through. and only people in that department are allowed in and out.
so trying to make the other assistant managers just indefinitely rotate in and try to manage what is essentially an entirely separate operation with its own specific and highly-specialized set of rules is gonna be a total shitshow. i honestly predict that they'll just be left to their own devices for the most part, and everything will slowly fall apart in the absence of a leader who knows what the fuck is going on.
also in that department, someone DIED. a young guy, very suddenly. i didn't know him, but i know his coworkers are gonna be missing him, to say nothing of his own family and friends. no word on what happened, but it doesn't seem like it was intentional, at least.
and lastly, in the same department again, a lady got into a car crash and is in the hospital. no word on how long she'll be out, though it seems like she's doing okay.
so the department is down two regular employees and a manager. fucken wild. i'll have to see if i can get any more details on monday. jane was gone today, and she's usually the one who talks to folks in that department.
so yeah, david, some shit did go down while i was out, but it was all in the one department that gets its own locked room in a corner of the warehouse. no surprise he didn't hear about it.

i never know how to get it across to people that i fucken LOVE givin lil’ gifts and treats and doing nice things to make someone’s day better/special without coming across as like,,,,i guess fucking weird or overbearing lol.
like when i want to get newer friends or even like, acquaintances with whom i always have delightful interactions, a small treat or gift for a birthday or whatever, they’re always like “no i’m fine!” “you don’t have to do that!” “you dont need to go out of your way, im okay!”
and it’s like nooooooooo i know you don’t need a gift or expect a treat/gift but i want to give you one! it makes me happy when u get a lil present that makes your day sparkle a bit more. i want to!
but my issue is i know some people genuinely don’t like receiving gifts/might feel uncomfortable receiving gifts from people they aren’t very close to. cause i can understand that someone might worry that maybe i’ve misinterpreted our very casual connection as a deeper relationship, when really im just fucken WILD for lil’ presents.
so i never wanna give someone a gift when they genuinely would prefer not to get one! but ive found many people are happy to receive them, we just all tend to insist that its not necessary and we don’t need one. and its hard for me to sus out the difference sometimes! (cause i dont wanna like, interrogate you lmao)
so now when i ask about someone’s favorite sweets or mention giving them a gift or w/e and they say “i really don’t need anything! it’s okay :)” “you don’t have to do that!” a couple times, i just say like “if you’d rather i didn’t get/make you anything that’s totally fine! but otherwise i would be delighted to treat you :)” and it seems to work
this was rlly long sorry but im excited to think of a birthday treat for my downstairs neighbor today (i have confirmed she would be very happy to receive something, just doesn’t want me to feel obligated. little does she know i am obligated,,,,, by my sick perverted desire to disperse love and sweet treats to nice folks. this fuels me)
anyways if ur still reading this i love you thanks :) i talk too much and this was genuinely the edited down version of this nothing thought
#also crucial to add that when someone brings up the idea of getting ME a gift#i immediately default to ‘oh no you really don’t have to do that’#but that’s different cause when i’m the one getting a gift it is actually a burden like this doesn’t apply to me#obvs

iiiiiii had a midday nap and this is what happened inside my brain during that time so maybe sit down and have a stiff drink at the ready cuz this shit is wild
AIGHT *clap* SO
when i dream it's usually not super vivid and i usually don't remember them but if it's a midday nap dream, IT'S BOTH
people: myself, j smith cameron (as herself), jean smart (as herself), and @marlboro-cowgirl (also as herself lmao and hereafter abbreviated as MC)
setting: what i'm assuming is jsc or jean's house i have no fucking idea but it's a really super nice house somewhere in cali, a bowling alley (this shit is wild i'm telling you), and a liquor store
dream starts out with me hanging out with jsc and jean in a very nice house. we're chillin out, doing nothing, listening to music and reading books. it's bright outside and i walk to a window to look at the ocean. jean asks me if i want something to drink and i'm like "nah i'm good, but i'm kinda hungry" (great manners katy) and jean's like "okay yeah! i can heat something up" and then jsc pipes up "i could use a drink though" and i giggle like roman roy for whatever fucking reason and jean goes "all i have is diet coke and water" and jsc shrugs "either is fine, just mix it with vodka"
ALKDSLKDFJSLKDF AJDL WHAT
so jean mixes jsc a vodka diet coke (ew) and hands it over while i'm staring at them like i'm watching some kind of live-action disney film. like my eyes are full of wonder and curiosity. oh, they're also in sunbathing attire. like floppy hats and sunglasses and sarong wraps n shit (idfk stay with me) so naturally i'm looking at all the places i shouldn't be bc ~in my dreams i can do what i fucking want~ fuck off.
jsc takes a sip of the vodka diet coke and winces like it's disgusting bc guess what IT IS jsc you fuckin weirdo. and then jean's like "you said mix it with vodka" and jsc's like "yeah but i didn't realize it would be this gross" and jean's like "we can go to the store but i have a bowling competition in an hour" and jsc is like "okay just get something else on your way back" and jean's like "alright fine whatever"
(side note: jean is an avid bowler so this part makes sense to me now that i'm thinking about it.)
that part of the dream ends and we do a DISSOLVE TO: transition like a goddamn film to the bowling alley and i'm there with jean and @marlboro-cowgirl (i have no idea babes my brain is fucked up as you are FULLY aware of) and jean is bowling her ass off and MC is smoking her vape while i'm eating a burger and fries and dr pepper. jean gets done with her streak--bowls a turkey--and sits down to join us. MC is like "great streak! you're super skilled at that." and jean's like "thanks :) you shouldnt be smoking." and MC goes "yeah… but it's better than other shit i could be doing. like heroin. or growing a baby." and jean doesnt know how to respond so she just nods her head with raised eyebrows like *yep these kids are fucked upppp* and then she's like "should we go get j something to drink? it's getting late." and i nod and MC is like "yeah let's fucken roll" LKDALDKJFAL DKFJADL so we leave and go to a liquor store
the three of us peruse the aisles and grab whatever the hell alcohol we want. i get smirnoff green apple and goldschläger, MC gets tennessee whiskey and cranberry juice and some high quality brand of rum i cannot remember the name of, and jean grabs a bottle of chinaco tequila a six pack of regular coke and a six pack of sprite. we go to the checkout stand and pay for our drinks and head out to the car (we're in MC's challenger for some reason--probably the turbo orgasm on wheels engine. also no idea how we got to your car since jean and i supposedly left in hers DREAMS ARE WEIRD OKAY) and head back to the nice house
we get to the nice house and unload our shit on the kitchen counter and jsc smiles and nods her head in approval at the selection before her and pours a hefty shot of goldschläger and downs that bitch like a P R O no grimace to be seen anywhere on her face and jean stares at her like she's just eaten a cockroach. jsc shrugs like *what?! it's good!* and jean just shakes her head in bewilderment. i'm grinning like the village idiot at this whole thing and MC is gnawing on her vape and looking at me looking at them with the most exasperatedly amused expression.
so MC takes her booze and juice and leaves the three of us to our own devices (thanks a lot babes lmao) and i'm in this house with jsc and jean and they're trying to outdo each other by taking shots of tequila, vodka and goldschläger and not making faces. like…… a LOT of shots. jsc gets giggly drunk and jean has to sit down on the kitchen floor bc she's spinning so much. i take a few shots in the there too (vodka or goldschläger only bitch) so i'm also kinda giggly drunk and i go to put the vodka in the freezer to keep it cold and jsc stops me with a hand on my arm and chastises me like my fucking mother "NEVER put alcohol in the freezer." and i'm like "uhhhh why? it's where i store my vodka." and she goes "it worsens the taste. keep it room temperature or in a wine cooler." and i'm like *mkay so #1 that was hot. #2 yes ma'am i will keep my vodka on my counter. #3 i'm too drunk to try and hide any smirks or wandering gaze* so i just straight up stare at her cleavage and nod like a mute idiot.
i go sit back down in the chair i was in earlier and start listening to music and jsc and jean do whatever in the kitchen and then i woke up.
moral of the dream: this grit fic has permeated my subconscious, jsc posting that "party at gerri's!" tweet yesterday evidently did something to my brain, and i should never put alcohol in the freezer.
#dreams#are fucked up#grit fic#they dont appear as their characters much to my irritation#anyways#if you followed that i applaud you

earthspark season three episode seven+eight!
alright, so Izzy's a quintesson, the quintessons want to get rid of the Maltos, the dome's still up, our titan friend is still frozen and Starscream's still trapped inside her, the decepticons fucked off in Prowl's ship, and we've got a key that restores sparks. let's see where all that gets us
oh so we ARE gonna use the key to restore our titan friend, nice
oh that's less nice
eyyy Cosmos is back, I saw his big ass in that crowd shot, nice to see you buddy
"tell us, why should we trust you?" talk your shit Elita lmAO truly this judge could not be more obviously lying, possibly the least slick individual
are the quintessons about to just fuckin kill the titan and Starscream with her
oh no they're gonna free them, understood
ghdfjskla Megatron and Cosmos are cute
gfdsjk I'm so glad Cosmos is here, offset all this tension, hon
for real like I get you're sad about Izzy but maybe don't carry a pocketful of dead fish about it, just stick with the photos lmAO
wait we're reviving Spitfire and Aftermath??? I fully thought their asses were gone forever lmAO honestly I'm down for that, y'all already know I always felt weird about how they were handled, let's give them one more chance
fgdsjkdfsajk Starscream was just up here having a tea party with the corpses of the children he murdered..... bro is not okay
straight up Starscream doing his sniveling thing gave me vivid flashbacks to tfp lmAO especially since he's got the same voice, wow
go kids go, fuck these fish up
oh shit she's got the gatling, NICE
FUCK EM UP MO
or not lmAO
oh shit that's the executioner we met before, I was wondering why he kept calling out Mo specifically, it's cause she ripped his arm off lmAO
oh shit bye Prowl
hang in there Cosmos
eyyyyy it worked, the chaos terrans are back
it's straight up wild to see Prowl hugging Megatron lmAO
"why should we believe anything you say?" "how about because we just brought you back to life????" LITERALLY LMAO LIKE NOT ONLY COULD WE HAVE VERY EASILY LEFT YOU DEAD, WE ALSO PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO BRINGING YOU BACK, PROWL ALMOST DIED, BE FUCKING NICE TO US
gdfjsk the executioners love metal, hell yeah 🤘
oH SHIT WHAT DID THE JUDGE JUST HIT THAT GUY WITH??? that looked like unspace, but we haven't even hinted at the concept of that in this show yet
oh fuck is Twitch dying
oughjdf something about Wheeljack and Megatron being the ones to carry Twitch away..... those are her guys........
gfdjks the chaos terrans are having a great time, they get to fuck shit up as much as they want
YEAAHHH REVIVE THE TITAN
oh??? oh shit the licks???? *air guitars wildly*
gfdsjkl she just shoots them out her nose
DAAAAAMMMMMNNNN, SHE WIPED THEM OUT

yesssss I've been waiting for different sync combinations let's go
"Well, if you like me so much, why don't you try and date me?" HAH fucken get em
oH SHIT HE BLOCKED IT
hell yeah, I was kinda hoping to more of a weird fusion like with Aftermath and Jawbreaker but cool holo-armor works too
OOOHHHH SHIT GET SLICED IDIOT
hjdsgkfal "SEE YA AROUND DORKS"
eeeyyy and Twitch is back
so the decepticons just fully dipped, I was thinking we might get a glimpse of cybertron during the final fight but alas. also rip Starscream enjoyers, I was waiting for him to pull something but he was just not at all relevant this whole season and then fully made into a joke at the last second and then the show ended, damn
ALRIGHT so final thoughts. Season one is still the best lmAO but I don't think two and three are nearly as bad as I've seen people say. They were definitely rushed and the themes season one took the time to set up absolutely got tossed aside for the sake of more jokes and action scenes, but I still had fun watching it and nothing made me so upset I couldn't keep watching. I never even felt like I had to trudge through the show just to finish it, I straight up had fun the whole time
Maybe it's just because I'm an artist and a writer so I know how hard it is to A. do that shit at all and B. do that shit on a deadline for a boss that doesn't understand/respect what you do, but I always find it hard to judge the writers of a show, especially an animated show, for its plot's shortcomings (unless they're like really public about it and it's clear whose fault it is lmAO).
I have absolutely no proof of this whatsoever, this is fully a hunch but. I'm willing to bet what happened between seasons one and two is the writing team got reprimanded for putting "too much woke shit" in the show. Like, I paid attention and in seasons two and three, there were no mentions of Nightshade's gender or use of their pronouns, no mention of Dorothy's prosthetic leg even casually, no little bits of black culture like Robby and Mo's bonnets they wear to bed, a lot less of Alex's culture too, and of course, most obviously, no more delving into the themes of discrimination, both with autobots/decepticons and humans/mechs. and I'm gonna be real, I am much more willing to blame some nickelodeon or hasbro executive being too scared/unwilling to put "the woke" in the cartoon for children than I am to blame the writers for "suddenly becoming bad," I absolutely think they were forced to dumb things down and that's why seasons two and three are so much shorter, so much more rushed, and a lot more "generic kid's action show"
also the fact that I watched this after it was all released instead of while it was coming out might have softened the blow for me. That and having seen people talk about the show getting bad and therefore lowkey being prepared for the possibility lmAO I'm actually surprised people weren't making shit up, my experience with mtmte as it was coming out and people actually very much making shit up and getting incredibly aggressive about it has colored my perception of this and all fandoms and now I just assume y'all are wrong by default lmfAO but fiiiiiiiine y'all had a point this time I guess. I will stand by my statement that I don't think the show ever got worse though, I just think it never got any better, which does sting quite a bit because it would've been so easy for it to get better, it was on the right track and clearly had a plan, it just got derailed and I fully believe it was because of corporate meddling.
all in all though, I liked the show. I do mourn for its potential but I'm grateful for what we did get and I don't think it's fair to trash all that just because it wasn't as good as it could've been.
I was a little afraid that some of our main kid characters would get on my nerves but nah, I'm cool with all of them, and I even genuinely love Nightshade. As a non-binary bitch myself, I don't get a lot of characters in my media that use the same pronouns as me so when one shows up and I like them but I just don't click with them it always feels bad lmAO like that one was was made specifically for me and they simply did not hit... but Nightshade hit, I'm so fond of them.
also confession time, Nightshade might hit a little harder for me personally bc when I was a kid, I was big into the sonic the hedgehog fandom and had a hedgehog-sona named Nightshayde and let me fucking tell you, I have had to physically stop myself from typing the y EVERY single time lmfAO truly Nightshade hits me at my core

oh lmao I fully forgot that when my flatmate was skyping her friends last night n said one of them couldn't sleep over tonight because she wouldn't be here I chimed in with the "yeah I'm kicking her out to throw a wild party" from off screen
so when she left just now and turned around and said "don't throw too wild a party, I hate missing out" it genuinely took me a minute to work out what she meant shsksks
anyway I'm throwing a fucken rager at mine so if y'all wanna swing by-
#talkin' malarky#I mean I'm probably going to go flat on the couch as soon as I've finished working out how much money I don't have left#my back. is so fucking sore.#anyhow. she does want to invite people around more. and since the last time we did that it was uhhhh my birthday last year.#this is probably fair#could be good!#it is more controlled than going out to the pubs/someone else's Far More Sociable House lmao

hgfhgf ok this was all supposed to just sit politely in the tags but apparently tumblr has a tag limit so it's going under a readmore instead I'm really sorry
jewblog criticises op for centering their own experiences so I hope adding mine in the tags is alright. but I do think they are illustrative of jewblog's point
I'm an atheist (agnostic. its complicated), and my parents very deliberately raised me to be atheist. They'd both had christian upbringings themselves but neither of them were very pious, and my dad in particular was a staunch exchristian athiest. so growing up I was not put into a catholic school (despite those being cheaper and easier to access, and often being held to a higher standard of education than secular public schools in australia)
Even then, the secular public school had a 'religious studies' class that needed a parent's note to opt out of (which mine did). This class was pretty much just bible studies taught by a pastor. Only xtianity (specifically catholic xtianity but who's counting?).
Basically the point I'm driving home here is that my parents did e v e r y t h i n g in their power to raise me atheist. They fought the System tooth and nail. Buuut. School holidays each year revolve mainly around easter and christmas. The families of other kids all had christmas trees in their homes, and organised easter egg hunts in their backyards, so of course my parents had to do the same thing otherwise they'd feel like barbarians.
And obviously while I never had to go to church I knew what a church is. A lot of literature and media would talk about religion (xtianity) or had religious (xtian) themes, a lot of nonreligious people use religious (xtian) language and themes as a way to express really big or profound feelings or ideas... I really couldn't help but absorb a lot of it through cultural osmosis. Which is how you get to the kind of culturally christian atheist headspace where you're like, 'well even I know that cain killed abel with a rock because cain was jealous that abel gave god a better offering, everyone knows that', 'yeah abraham was commanded to sacrifice his son isaac and was gonna go through with it before being stopped by an angel. everyone knows that one'
I didn't read any of that in a bible or get taught it in school! I just know it because the entire world has been built in such a way that it's really hard not to know at least some of it!!! and you know what??? this fully does not apply to any religion other than christianity. did you know that I only just learned TODAY what a rabbi actually does??? I always thought a rabbi was roughly analogous to a pastor or priest. it wasn't until I saw a post, I think by vaspider, where it was exasperatedly but politely explained that a rabbi is more like... a professor or teacher of jewish laws. like an expert to consult about stuff you're unsure about or make sure important events adhere to jewish law. and that's it!!! they're not ordained by god to have special prayer powers or whatever, this block of tags has gotten so so so long lmao sorry well it's not tags anymore but im still sorry
but you gotta understand when people talk about cultural christianity, they're not precisely talking about you- well they sort of are but only in the sense that you exist and are part of the world, like. cultural christianity is 100% a societal thing. and the society for humans is THE WORLD. IT'S THE WORLD!!! TURN YOUR HEAD THERE'S JUST MORE WORLD TO LOOK AT!!! YOU CAN'T BLOCK IT OUT IT'S THE FUCKEN WORLD!!!!!!
and yeah it's not the whole world but unless I uproot my whole life and move to a country that doesn't speak english it's going to be MY whole world for the rest of my life. so. yeah.
it's wild because you don't start really seeing it until after you've been quietly listening to your jewish friends for a while and you realise you're living in the culturally christian matrix
Things I would prefer to be called rather than “culturally christian”
+ Raised christian
+ Has a christian background
+ Exchristian
These still acknowledge a person’s history with christianity while also respecting the fact that they have left it. Hope this helps!
