#genuinely so cool that people like things that i make :)

[sixty-silver-wishes]

okay so I was scrolling through the notes because like, it's nearly 3 am and I'm genuinely sort of fascinated by this. are people actually upset about pluto being classified as a dwarf planet? I always thought the "vitriol" around that was like, a joke thing. like, people aren't really angry over pluto; are they? they just like having a fun and harmless thing to argue over, like pineapple on pizza. in casual parlance, it's polarizing, but like, in a silly way where you get to spar with people over something that doesn't matter too much. everyone knows pluto is just a rock millions of miles away. but it's fun to imagine it being sad, right? we're humans; we like projecting ourselves onto stuff. that's what we do. but we're not actually serious about all that, are we?

and then I saw this comment that sorta made things click. once I read it, I was like, "huh. maybe people are taking this more seriously than I thought."

so, dinosaurs probably had feathers and body fat. that makes sense, and they're finding more evidence to prove it. but I've seen actual anger over this information. people are genuinely upset that their cool jurassic park dinosaur fantasies have been shattered by images of like, giant chickens or whatever. there are even some weirdos who have made this into a masculinity thing. suddenly, it's "woke" to... reevaluate dinosaur biology based on new evidence? they're... emasculating the dinosaurs by making them look less manly? or something? can a reptile be manly?

but like, then I considered how these things are part of the cornerstone of many people's introductions to scientific concepts. when you're a kid, you're taught a song to memorize nine planets. you play with naked plastic dinosaurs. you begin to learn about the universe through concepts like these. you're taught that these are basic, unquestionable, objective truths. so then when something comes along to challenge them, people get defensive. pluto is a dwarf planet. dinosaurs probably had feathers. and you see this in a more serious application, too- some people will react the same way if they hear that there are more than two genders, for instance. that "basic biology" isn't so basic after all.

I'm not saying that thinking of pluto as a planet is some sort of pipeline to bigotry or whatever. but it does illustrate a certain rigidity people have when it comes to what they're taught, especially when it comes to science as an objective concept. but just because science is based in evidence doesn't mean that we can't find new evidence. and sometimes that ends up challenging old evidence. accepting that pluto is a dwarf planet means accepting something you were taught about science wasn't entirely true- that something came along to challenge it. and if something as seemingly basic as nine planets or naked dinosaurs or two genders can be disproven, then what else? what other fundamental truths will be called into question?

I don't know if this is a "school system bad" problem or a philosophy problem or a societal problem or what. but I can certainly see why the pluto thing might get people up in arms after all.

the internet is so awesome because it connects me to other autistic girls who have also spent a decade being really mad about people who cry and scream over Pluto not being classified as a planet anymore.

Heyyy could I request Isagi, Reo and Yukimiya confessing their feelings to their crush, but the crush is so shy and insecure that at first, they don't believe the boys and instead, they think it's like, a prank or a bet because the guys are like, cool athletes ? thaanks !!

omg so cute!! yes tysm for the request! 💞

when they confess their crush on you

hs athlete!bllk x shy gn!reader

isagi yoichi

-> when isagi yoichi, aka the best player on the high school soccer team, ran up to you after the final bell rang for the day, sirens immediately went off in your head

-> he barely got the word “date?” out before you clutched your books closer to your chest and shook your head. “i’ve heard about the boys on your team who ask people out as bets and pranks just to humiliate them. i didn’t think you were like that, but i guess i was wrong.”

-> “… eh?” “that’s why you’re asking me out, right? to make your friends laugh?” “EH?!”

-> it takes a lot of convincing, and most of it is isagi stumbling over his words because he was not expecting you to say that. bachira spent twenty minutes hyping him up, repeating that “the worst thing y/n could say is no.” this was worse than that

-> the combination of his stammering, nape rubbing, and pink cheeks is enough to prove he’s genuine. “okay… we can hang out this weekend..?” “this weekend works!”

mikage reo

-> mikage reo. wealthy, intelligent, great at sports, and used to getting what he wants. so, when he sets his eyes on you, he thinks asking you out will be a breeze

-> “uh, no thank you…” you politely decline after reo asks you to eat lunch with him. it takes a moment for your rejection to sink in, but once it does, reo is all sorts of confused. “wait, no? why not?”

-> his voice doesn’t sound as accusatory as his words, so you shrug and duck your head to hide your flaming face. “you’re only asking me out because bored… so no thank you.”

-> he’s flabbergasted because what?? reo thinks you’re the most attractive person he’s ever seen, and anytime he gets the chance to talk to you, you’re always kind. plus he likes the sound of your voice; how could he not have feelings for you?!

-> before you can move around him, he’s stretching himself out like a sea star. “wait! i’m rich! i’m never bored! wait, that came out wrong..” rubbing his purple hair aggressively, reo pulls a small box of chocolates from his book bag and holds them out for you. “i like you. i have for a while, and me asking you out isn’t because i’m bored, it’s because i want to get to know you better!”

-> though you’re still a bit hesitant, chocolates are your weakness. you timidly take the box from his hands and offer a half-hearted smile. “okay… we can hang out after class tomorrow.” “it’s a date!”

yukimiya kenyu

-> he asked karasu and otoya to give him advice on how to ask you out, which was a huge mistake

-> those two followed you around school for a week before you finally broke down and begged them to leave you alone. when yukimiya went up to apologize and explain, you immediately shut him down

-> “i-i’m sorry! i don’t know what game you and your friends are playing, but i don’t want to be a part of it!”

-> he needs a moment to think after that. “game?” “you know, how you ask people out and ditch them? or worse, trick them into thinking you like them before insulting and laughing at them…” yukimiya is genuinely hurt that you’d think so little of him and his friends, despite not knowing a thing about them. was that their reputation?

-> “i’m not playing a game with you, y/n.” “… you’re not?” “no. the reason karasu and otoya were ‘following’ you was because i wanted to know what you liked so i could surprise you when i asked you out on a date..” “a date?”

-> part of you is still unsure, because why would yukimiya, the soccer model, as you out? but his eyes look genuine, and his smile makes you feel fuzzy, so you decide to risk it. if he breaks your heart, so be it. you only live once, anyway. “okay… um, here’s my number. text me?”

Nat with a girlfriend who is a "mean girl" of the school's Queen Bee type and who defends Natalie tooth and nail

She's a "Sweet Strawberry" but she would turn into a very, very sour lemon if someone messed with Natalie<3 and when I say she would be a sour lemon I mean she would go INSANE, like she would slash all FOUR tires on some jerks' car who messed with Natalie, or put up posters around the school with a picture of a cheerleader cheating on her boyfriend because she said something bad about Natalie and so on.

The sweetest and most loving girlfriend who would do anything for her other half even if it means ending the school life of anyone who even dares to speak ill or look at her love the wrong way🤭

Behind every critical bisexual is an even more critical and mean lesbian.

(By the way, all of this fits a bit into something I really want to write about at some point.)

loser x popular trope save me…save me loser x popular trope

reader who is actually one of the good popular kids and is kind but stil, everyone knows that she’s not like say jackie and she has a snark to her

r who is in a friend group with jackie shauna and lottie and is also super rich; she and lottie are like sisters and are both known for throwing cool ass parties

and lottie introduces this girl from her team to you in one of them - she’s got a blonde mullet and dresses pretty punk rock. you took a liking to her instantly

they start dating and jackie hates it so much LMAO (mostly because you’re cheering for nat instead of her at the soccer games)

now even before, because of your friends you were pretty familiar with the team but once you start going out with nat you’re practically an honorary member……..kinda what misty tried to be but didn’t get to (because you’re actually likeable to the girls)

what nat definitely loves most is your protectiveness

like at first people joked with it but loled and then serioused when they realized you did NOT. i mean i dare someone to slutshame nat around you……seriously, go for it……..

genuinely since she started dating you she got way less bullied when people saw what the concequences of said bullying could be

all the things you mentioned, egging their house, keying their car, phone call pranks that reallyyyyy make them shit their pants, straight up assult (not hitting per se but still), all depends on what they did to her

and as i said, reader has an attitude, however kind they are so……..everyone notices how it vanishes around natalie

bringing y’alls friend groups together was a shitshow lemme tell you that

[raaorqtpbpdy]

This is such a short-sighted take.

Copyright exists and is essential to protect creators. The fact that it gets exploited by companies is a problem that needs to be solved but not by getting rid of copyright completely. If it were abolished, no artist of any kind would be able to reliably make a living on their art ever again.

Without copyright, every album a band released could be copied outright and sold cheaper by a third party with no consequences. Visual artists would have no recourse if someone stole their design and made hundreds of dollars selling T-shirts with it without the artist seeing a cent. And authors like myself? We'd be completely fucked. Book piracy is already a serious threat to authors, even traditionally published ones with a big company behind them.

In a perfect world where everyone respects creators, maybe we wouldn't need copyright laws. But we don't live in a perfect world. I know the above commenter means well, but ownership of ideas absolutely does matter when money changes hands.

A prime example of this is Emily Gwen, the creator of the "sunset" lesbian flag, currently the most popular lesbian flag. She waived her copyright rights by releasing the flag as a public domain design. Partly because of that she currently lives in poverty. Individuals, not just corporations, sell things with her design on it all the time, and no matter how much credit she gets, she doesn't see a cent of their profits because she chose to forego ownership of her idea.

That was her choice which every individual is entitled to, but it's my understanding that she regrets not choosing a creative commons attribution rather than public domain which would have prevented capitalizing on her design. Because there is a copyright attribution that allows anyone to use an idea as long as no money is made.

And don't give me any of that "but but but fan creations" BS, those are completely legal under fair use, which is part of copyright law. Copyright law doesn't need to be abolished just so you can write your fanfics without fear. You can already do that as long as you're not charging money for it.

And if you are wanting to make money off fanfic, get a real job. Write something original and maybe you'll appreciate the protections of copyright law more. I appreciate that writing fanfic is hard work, I write it myself, but profiting off other people's ideas without them getting their share is wrong, even if you credit them. Creators living in poverty don't want credit, they need money, and without copyright their ability to get it would be even more limited than it already is.

If you genuinely advocate for the complete abolishment of copyright law, I can only assume you have no respect for artists or their work. In which case I will be advocating for copyright even harder to protect creatives from people like you, who obviously don't understand their value to our society and the importance of their protections.

What you actually want is for corporations to no longer be legally classified as individuals so they can no longer hold individual copyright. What you actually want is for it to be illegal for copyrights to be bought and sold so that people other than the original creator of something can be needlessly litigious "protecting" something they didn't create but now "own". What you actually want is for corporations to be regulated, not for copyright to be abolished.

I'm pro copyright because I love cool things and I want the people who create them to be able to make a living off their work instead of dying in obscurity while someone else makes millions off a slightly altered version of what they made. Incidentally I also think all corporations should be regulated and restricted to the ninth level of hell and back.

being pro-copyright is like a cartoon "i hate cool things" political stance

Questions for the MagiKey Users!

(Quartz and Yuu are examples!!)

(Please copy and paste the questions!!)

Section 1 - Your OC Answers!

1. How does it feel to be a MagiKey user?

Quartz: "God, it feels awful honestly but I ain't got much to do at home."

Yuu: "I really like helping people with our powers! I also get to meet so much people!"

2. How popular are you in MagiKey rankings?

Quartz: "I'm not that popular honestly and I'm glad."

Yuu: "A lot of people seem to know me but I'm not really a fan favorite when it comes to top 10."

3. Which MagiKey would you rather have than your own?

Quartz: "Uhh.. What's her name? Metamorphosis (@/lficanthaveloveiwantpower). Yeah. I think her power is neat and cool. It's probably more unique than what I have right now. I wanna make cool psychological illusions too."

Yuu: "I like Divinity's (@/nivvetsworld)! Their abilities look so powerful! Aahh! It's so cool! The weapon and everything!"

4. Why did you become a MagiKey user?

Quartz: "Yall act like I had a choice. That fucking bird that i hate."

Yuu: "Quartz was one and I was suddenly given a key years later haha! I just wanted to spice up my life a little!"

5. How long have you been in MagiKey

Quartz: "Three years. I'm pretty old but it's cool I guess."

Yuu: "Only a year! I'm still learning from Quartz and others. I wish to develop more of my abilities so I can help others!"

Section 2 - You explain!

6. What is their motivation to keep being a magical user?

Quartz genuinely has no idea. She doesn’t have the energy to go through Crowley's bullshit but she also doesn't know if she's able to stop now. She's three years in already.

Yuu just thinks it's fun and exciting. In the foundation that they were raised in, not a lot of things were fun as this. They also really like to help people and seeing people being happy. They genuinely wish to see people live.

7. How are they usually in a battle?

Quartz doesn't really like attacking and likes to support other MagiKey users but if she has to fight by herself, she will. She's actually really quick on her feet and disappears too easily like a rabbit. Her goal is to catch you off guard so she can strike you down but she doesn't usually have well calculated strategies.

With her first ability, she uses the scarves as a tool to restrain her opponent right after she makes them confused by pulling them out of their mouth. She can use the scarves to potentially choke and tie things to the opponent.

Her second ability let's her to summon anything out of her hat. She can even summon people. YES. PEOPLE. If someone is in trouble in a different area, she can summon them out of her hat. They might get dizzy after. She also can summon explosions made out of confetti and basically anything except actual weapons like guns, bombs.

In her final ability, she can blind people with her other eye. She can only use this in the beginning of a fight so she can land the better attacks.

Yuu doesn't really do most of the fighting but they can swing the heavy basket at an opponent to do heavy damage. They're mostly there for support as well with their energy boosting strawberries. They actually have really bad stamina but with the everlasting supply of strawberries, their stamina is boosted a lot. They are the one who tries to pull the MagiKey users together to fight.

Their first ability is them swinging that heavy ass basket at an opponent. In their early fights, they used to be super stiff but now their moves are fluent with them easily throwing the basket at an opponent and being able bounce it back to their hands. No one is able to pick up the basket but Yuu because it feels super heavy to others.

The energy boosting strawberries are their second ability. These strawberries can boost mood and performance in battles. They never run out of strawberries and they can make it rain strawberries with a swing of their basket.

Their last ability is a giant scary Grim popping out of their basket. They don't actually have to place the basket on the ground. They can carry it and let Grim attack opponents or scare them. Grim is SUPER hungry so anything he sees that is not an ally is TUNA.

8. How are their daily lives?

Quartz and Yuu don't really do much but go to school in their foundation. After that, they head to MagiKey's secret training school.

9. What is their opinion on other MagiKey users in general?

Quartz thinks they're cool. Nothing much to say but she's always curious on why other people would even agree to being a Magical User considering how young and risky the job is. But she's a hypocrite since she is one of them.

Yuu finds them amazing and super cool. They love to see other user's fights and cheer them on.

Section 3 - Deeper Level (might get emo)

10. What are your OC's struggles as a MagiKey user?

Quartz always thinks of herself as one for not thinking a lot but the thing is that she does. She absolutely tries to stop these thoughts from roaming into deeper territories but how could she not?

In her three years of experience, she has encountered dead magical users and ones that died after corruption but she never tried to pay attention to it. She refused to because that is what is sacrificed when you do these duties: your life.

She always wondered why mostly children are chosen to defeat these so-called enemies in secret and how messed up it sounds but it's just a thought. It's just a thought.

When Yuu encountered their first intense battle which was with a corrupted magical user, their whole perspective changed. After defeating the corrupted user, the corpse of a young magical girl was left behind and it scarred Yuu completely.

It felt like a joke. It felt disgusting.

It felt like a dumb joke because what are you saying these monsters are just kids with problems? Couldn't we have found another way? If they knew that this would happen, wouldn't they recruit different people for this job? And what about their family? What will their family think seeing their child dead because of "unknown" reasons?

Yuu has tried to continue on after that but no matter what, the memory of the cold, limp body of that magical girl from that day keeps eating them alive.

11. What is their favorite color?

Quartz has no favorite color

Yuu likes yellow

y/n fell back against the cool sheets. 

she listened to the guy next to her breathing hard like he was on cloud nine after round 14 of pounding her pussy - it was round one and had been dull. 

“whew, that was fuckin’ amazin’, darlin’” he said giddily. 

she gave him her best customer service smile and reached for her phone. there was a text she desperately needed to send.

[y/n 04:23]

hiiii

she didn’t expect a response. ever probably. they had unquestionably broken up. she knew that. she definitely knew that.

but she had to try because the mediocre sex she had been having lately was just not it. 

she didn’t even look forward to sex anymore. it was dull, at best - she might as well be doing her taxes. 

instead, she was just wasting her time, placating men with her lack-luster, ‘oh, yes, b-a-b-y, that is just so good’…’yes, right there’…’u h u h’…’oh boy, howdy, just like that’- she was completely phoning it in. 

if they paid any attention, they would know she was speaking roughly like the worst pre-recorded robocall machine to ever be invented. but funnily, they never seemed to notice. so she just kept saying more and more unhinged things - she had to entertain herself somehow. 

she slid out of bed and grabbed her clothes and headed for the bathroom. 

he stopped her for a moment, “hey, now, i thought you promised you would stay the night, make me breakfast and all that,” he said with a wink.

she stared blankly for a moment because when the fuck had she ever offered anyone that, much less texas pete over here.

“oh, yeah, sorry about that sugar, but i plum forgot, i’ve got this thing in the mornin’ and i just can’t miss it, ya’ know?” she shrugged.

for some reason, she had let a friend drag her to a country western club the night before, and she had been using her best southern accent all night. it was heinous. but again, she had to make her own fun. 

“well damn,” he sighed, “i was lookin’ forward to that.” he squeezed her hand gently. “you just seem like you know your way around a kitchen,” he smiled again. 

it wasn’t that he wasn’t cute - he was fine. totally okay - for anyone else on the planet.

she nodded and smiled, “sorry to let ‘cha down, but my boss is a real son of a bitch,” she smiled as she spoke and slowly pulled her hand from his grasp. 

she went to the bathroom, cleaned up, threw on her clothes, and made a quick getaway. 

she was in an uber when she saw the text.

[cheol 04:23]

u up? also why?????

she smiled - a genuine smile for once.

[y/n 04:46]

just going thru a drought T-T

she stared at her phone for a moment before flipping it face down in her palm. she didn’t want to watch the lack of response. they had been friends. they should have never fucked. they should have never dated. because now she couldn’t even complain to him when things sucked. 

she felt her phone buzz and almost threw it. she really was not expecting a response.

[cheol 04:51]

you still know my address, right?

she read the message over several times before answering.

[y/n 04:52]

yea

he was quick with his response, though.

[cheol 04:52]

just come over then - i want to hear the southern accent tho

she snorted and asked her driver if he could change the address.

seungcheol answered the door in his underwear, which was cute and made her wonder where he had tossed his pjs - she knew he slept in them. 

he leaned against the door, smiling, “seriously, i want to hear it,” he whispered. 

she rolled her eyes, “oh god, at least let me come in first,” she pleaded.

he grinned and shook his head, “got to give me something,” he smiled cutely, “you know ‘m worth it,” he watched her with a flirty gaze she knew too well.

she looked him over, “fine,” she sighed, “uhh, hey, good lookin’,” she laughed, “fuck that was terrible.”

he nodded, still smiling, “come on, one solid thing,” he asked, his voice daring her.

she sighed softly and reached out - she caught her finger in the waist of his underwear and snapped it against his skin.

“fuck, really? how old are you?” he kept it to a whisper. his neighbors would complain otherwise. they both knew that all too well.

she smiled, “awe, darlin’ did that hurt? i didn’t mean nothin’ by it, my hand just got away from me, and lord knows what it’ll do next,” she scrunched her nose and held back a laugh. he looked dumbfounded. 

but he finally moved out of the way and let her in. 

she dropped her bag by the door and followed him into the kitchen. he tossed her a bottle of water. 

“so, shua’s idea was less than perfect?” he leaned on the counter, watching her.

she rolled her eyes, “i mean,” she paused, “why do you even know for one?”

he grinned, “you were killing him with the accent - you know his LA-brain can’t handle when you whip that out.”

she smiled and shook her head, “right, so just voice messages or what went into the gc?”

she knew there were several she was no longer in, but she tried to get past the awkwardness of that. besides he shook his head - the gc was sacred. 

she groaned, “look, can i shower?”

“you texted me at this time to take a shower?”

she shrugged and pouted, “please,” she put her hands together, pleading fully. 

she didn’t like the idea of being all grimy from a bar or from where she had been, which neither of them addressed. because if seungcheol knew about the accent and the bar, then he knew about the mechanical bull ride - which was 12 out of 10 in her opinion - and he knew about the guy she went home with.

he followed her into his bedroom and left her to find her way to the bathroom. she stripped and took a long shower, thankful for the hot water and that he still had the soap she picked out. by the time she was out and had dried off, she noticed that there were clothes for her to change into. she hadn’t even realized that he had come in - not that she minded. it was sweet. 

she pulled on one of his shirts and some boxers - and she wandered into his bedroom. she knew she should probably sleep on the couch, but when seungcheol reached out for her, she couldn’t resist. 

she was happy to climb into his warm bed and snuggle against his side. 

she woke up slowly - she wasn’t exactly surprised by where she was - she knew what it felt like to wake up with him. it was more of a bittersweet feeling. she barely admitted to herself that she missed him as much as she did. 

she tried to pretend that none of it bothered her - like seeing him with other people - or how absolutely fucking bored to death she was without him. she wanted to hurry up and leave before lying there dredged up too many feelings. 

the problem was when she moved - he pulled her back down, kissing her softly. and it worked like a spell. she couldn’t break that kiss - that perfect kiss with seungcheol that she had been missing so badly. 

and when his strong hands pulled her back where he wanted her, lying on top of him, she couldn’t resist that either. she kissed him and ran her hands through his hair. she moaned softly and happily let her tongue slide against his, tasting him. she felt his hands firmly trace along her thighs and ass, squeezing her cheeks and spreading them before finally giving her a soft smack that only made her smile. 

she felt like she was in a daze by the time she was on her back, and he was undressing her, kissing all the places he liked most. she played with his hair, savoring the feeling of him. she groaned softly as he kissed and licked her nipples, sucking at one breast and then the other, as his hand slid down between their bodies and his fingers began to tease her pussy. 

he didn’t say any ridiculous things as he stroked her clit. he didn’t ask any weird questions as he slid his fingers inside her, knowing what she liked and how. he filled her pussy without her needing to explain a single thing to him. 

he kissed her softly as he worked her open - stretching her the way she had been dying to be stretched for weeks. he was three fingers deep in her without any awkward exchange about how ‘yes’ she liked that feeling - she liked the edge it brought her to. but it was also basically required for a guy with a dick like seungcheol’s. 

she had missed his dick. 

she pressed him back gently, interrupting the normalcy of it, “can i go down on you?” she whispered. 

he nodded, “yeah, but i was about to do that to you,” he said with a soft smile. 

she reached up, smoothing his bangs, “we could both do it?” she asked, shrugging, pouting just a bit. 

his smile widened, “you really do miss it then?”

she flushed, wondering who the actual fuck had told him that little juicy nugget of information. and also, not really caring, because yes - she had. 

she nodded. 

and they moved so she was lying across him, her pussy in his face, and she was staring directly at the cock that she measured all other cocks against. were they as long as his? were they as thick as his? did they just look like a thing that belonged deep in her throat because his always looked that way.

she was felt his fingers and tongue making quick work of her - his fingers roughly massaging that little spongy spot that did things to her, while his tongue worked her clit. 

she moaned as she licked and sucked the head of his dick - she used her hand to work his length, squeezing the base of his cock tightly and loosening her grip as her hand came closer to her mouth - she pulled off, spitting in her hand before going back to working him. 

she took him deeper in her mouth, letting the head of his dick hit the back of her throat, loving how the smooth, soft skin felt against her tongue. she wanted him to fuck her face and make her gag.

but it was early in the morning - she knew he just wanted to fuck. not f u c k.

she knew she was close to coming, but she wanted to taste him. she started to work quicker, moving her mouth and hand in unison, creating the illusion that she was taking him deeper than she was - she could feel the hard way he was gripping her ass now.

she could hear his soft groans, and the gentle, whispered, “yeah, baby, just like that - so fucking good,” even as he dove back into her, licking and sucking her until she came, until she was a dripping mess that he licked into even more. he finally pulled back, “fuck, i love how you come for me.” he leaned back in, kissing her opening and licking into her - his fingers working her clit again. 

she shivered from the overstimulation, but she kept working his cock, licking and sucking even faster, until she felt the sudden explosion of liquid heat in her mouth - she forced herself to take him deeper, wanting all his cum down her throat. she swallowed and gagged around him. she kept pumping him, until she was sure she had swallowed every last drop. 

when she landed on her back again, and he grabbed her waist, pulling her into the position he liked - her legs wide, one over his shoulder, his hands under her ass lifting it so he could thrust fully into her. she loved when he made her take all of his cock. 

“miss this, baby girl?” he asked - his voice was so low. 

she nodded, “missed it so much,” she whined, grabbing the sheets before he was even inside her - she knew how good it would feel. and with how long it had been, she was sure it would be like the first time - like he was splitting her apart. 

and was she ever right about that part - she bit the back of her hand to keep from screaming. he didn’t stop to say anything - he knew she loved it - knew she loved the way he stretched her every time - not just the first time. 

she was a whining, whimpering mess - she could feel tears pricking the edges of her eyes as he was really fucking into her - rolling his hips relentlessly. 

when he reached down and grabbed her chin, “crying for me?”

she nodded.

“that good?” he asked, breathless and grinning smugly.

she nodded, “so fucking good cheol - i’ve missed you so much,” she whined. 

she definitely hadn’t meant to say that, and even in her dick-addled mind, she hoped he took it as ‘i missed your dick.’

but she felt him pause, it was this one millisecond of him staring at her, having heard her perfectly, knowing exactly what she meant. 

she was shocked when he shifted their position, all so he could lean down and kiss her while still managing to fuck her brains out. sloppy, sweet kisses that almost distracted her from what his cock was doing. 

“missed you too,” he whispered as they pulled apart.

and he sat back up, picking up both her legs this time, putting them over his shoulders, so his dick somehow hit even deeper. 

she yelped from the impact of his dick hitting as deep as he possibly could, pounding her cervix - not to mention he had decided to stroke her clit too.

she knew the familiar sound of her pussy being that wet - the lewd sound it made every time he thrust inside her, every time his dick just right - she knew what she was on the precipice of - and then it happened - he pulled out just in time for her to pussy to gush as she came. and then he was thrusting back into her, fucking her like she needed him too. until she felt him come - felt him fill her full and fuck it deep inside her. 

lying next to him after, even if he told her to ‘fuck off’ - at least she had gotten one more great fuck from him. 

but when he pulled her close and curled around her, she had the feeling she wasn’t leaving anytime soon.

Tech Tuesday: Steve Rogers

Summary: Steve and Newbie are still nervous around each other, but for different reasons now.

A/N: Reader is female. No physical descriptors used.

Tech Tuesdays Masterlist

You're talking to your brother-in-law, Foggy, about the video you took of August's attack on Sweetie.

"Oh yeah, no worries about the video getting out. Matt and I are professionals, after all," Foggy reassures you. "But when the client is ready, we'll have some follow up questions and whatnot. Get ourselves ready for you to leak it."

"Thanks so much, Foggy!" you reply. "I owe you big for this one."

"Keep in mind, we will have to have some kind of answer for why you and your friends didn't call the police."

"I think a genuine answer would be that we were so fraught with worry for her that we could only think about getting the her the hell out of there?"

"That's a good one, so long as you do some careful editing of the punch. That guy in the video is huge and people won't doubt he was in charge of the situation at that point."

"Yeah, he's really impressive," you giggle.

Foggy pauses. "Is he the guy you've been seeing?"

"Yeah," you smile.

"Well I'm glad you're with someone who can keep you safe," he chuckles.

"Thanks, Foggy! Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta get ready for our date tonight!"

"Have fun!"

The dress was so much more revealing than you were used to and it still wasn't even as showy as the one Ms. Scarlet wore in the movie. You could've gone for Mrs. White's whole getup but you were feeling needy for some attention from Steve.

You loved that he was a gentleman, you really did! But it's been a few months and it hasn't gone past some making out in the car. It encouraged that little voice telling you you're not pretty enough for someone like him. He doesn't find you attractive, and doesn't want to see more. Considering how often you ended up shivering like a leaf, maybe you weren't actually ready for more and he was picking up on that? No, that little voice insists. It's because he finds you disgusting. Letting out a small groan you finish getting ready for the date.

The local theater had finally gotten the rights to show Clue! It was one of the movies both you and Steve absolutely loved. To make things more fun, the theater promised only one of the original endings, chosen at random! It was such an occasion the two of you decided to dress up for it. Easier for him, of course. He just needed a blue suit, a red tie and some glasses and he made for a very handsome Mr. Green.

Again, you adjust the cleavage of your dress, making sure you're not actually showing too much. The bright, shiny necklace essentially enhanced your cleavage. Probably the point. Kudos to the costume designers, you think.

There's a text from Steve saying he's at your apartment building. The temptation to chicken out is strong, but you trust Steve and you've been looking forward to this!

Okay, let's do this.

Steve stood outside his car, eagerly waiting for you. He wasn't used to wearing a suit and tie let alone glasses but he was happy to join you in dressing up for the movie. Hell, the fact that you still wanted to keep seeing him made him giddy, and nervous. He was so scared of being a disappointment.

He desperately wants to make you happy. You're a sweetheart who's never once expected him to be cool and confident like a man of his size apparently should be. You welcomed his dorkiness and dumb sense of humor. He was never "not enough" or "too old fashioned" or any of the other things his past dates have complained about. He knows he shouldn't be so scared that he's going to ruin everything but he just can't help it.

He's certain you've expected him to go further than kissing, to ask if he can join you in your apartment, in your bed. But he hasn't had much experience and what he's experienced hasn't been great. He wants to dote on you, to give you everything, but he's scared it'll be a deal-breaker if he isn't amazing in the bedroom.

His thoughts grind to a halt when he sees you in the Miss Scarlet dress. He goes slack-jaw for a second before catching himself. As you approach he feels his heart in his throat from how stunning you look.

Your smile falters as Steve keeps staring. "Do I look okay?"

"You, you look stunning," Steve breathes. Heat rushes to your cheeks as he kisses the back of your hand before opening the car door for you.

"Thank you."

Steve has to put all of his attention into driving. Every time he looks at you his heart flutters and he's scared of being distracted and crashing the vehicle. He's never dated someone who'd be willing to dress up for a movie like this. He can't help but be amazed at you.

His silence has you second guessing every decision about tonight. Sure he was complimentary, but what if he was covering for how ugly he thought you looked? For a second you'd thought his shock was because you looked good. You feel silly about that now. Clearly he's disgusted and is just being polite.

Steve pulls into the parking lot for the theater. As soon as the car is stopped you unbuckle and step out. Steve frowns; you always wait for him to get the door for you.

"Is everything okay?" he asks as he joins you.

"Yeah, just...just...really excited for this," you smile weakly.

"Please don't do this," Steve says, his eyes going full sad puppy. "Something is wrong."

Your heart melts at his facial expression. And he is right.

"I was...I'm...relationships aren't my strong suit. I'm very much a newbie when it comes to romance," you explain. "So I'm worried I'm doing something wrong."

"I don't have much experience with them either," Steve admits. "But why would you think you were doing something wrong?"

"I mean...this is going to sound dumb, but...aren't we supposed to um, have had sex by now?"

Steve's cheeks turn pink as he struggles to find the right words. It takes a few tries, each moment filling you with dread that he was about to confess.

"I'm not...I just...I'm scared," Steve finally gets out. "I'm scared of disappointing you."

"You are scared of disappointing me?"

"Yes! You're gorgeous inside and out. An angel who is currently looking like the most tempting devil! I've had relationships before where there were...expectations that I would somehow be great at sex, even though I have so little experience."

"I thought you despised how I looked."

His eyes widen and he's quick to reassure you. "No, no, no. I meant it when I said you look gorgeous."

"You couldn't even look at me in the car."

"Because I'd end up crashing the car because I couldn't look away."

"You...you mean that?"

"Yes. I will swear on my knees if you want."

That gets you chuckling. "No need for that. I'm sorry I'm such an insecure mess."

"I'm not much better off," Steve chuckles. "But...if you want...after the movie we can...if you're ready..."

"Do you think you're ready?"

"I...I don't know."

"Then, how about, after the movie, we go out for dinner and dance? See how things go from there?"

Steve's face brightens, "that sounds perfect."

"Just, please, if it's not too much trouble, tell me I'm pretty?"

"Pretty? You're gorgeous," Steve smiles and brings you in for a kiss.

The rest of the night is spent sharing laughter, smiles, and even a dance at the diner you went to. Steve kisses you goodnight, reminding you that you're the prettiest woman he's ever met. You return his kiss and tell him he's handsomest man you've ever seen.

For the first time since you started dating, it doesn't hurt you that Steve isn't coming up to your apartment. You've both had a fair amount of emotional vulnerability tonight, but it also led to both of you feeling much more comfortable with each other. Maybe there was something to being honest and going at your pace.

My SJM- based opinions that nobody asked for, but I‘m sharing anyway.

I made a lot of critical points that may trigger some people…

- Manorian sucks. They had potential until they became canon, and SJM turned Dorian into another shadow daddy. Dorian dominating Manon is a joke—it's just ridiculous. Also, Dorian should be shorter than Manon.

- Dorian and Sorscha are cute together. RIP, though...

- Chaol is one of the best male characters in the SJM universe.

- Chaolryne is the healthiest and one of the best ships in all of her book series.

- Sam’s death WRECKED me.

- Kaltain deserved better.

- I think I like Rowan with long hair better.

- The Assassin’s Blade and ToD are severely underrated. KoA wasn’t that great.

- I hate the spy theory with a burning passion for both Elain and Gwyn, especially Elain. Maybe it’s because I have other plans for them, but I just don’t see either of them as spies. Let’s be honest here—the only reason most people support the spy theory is because of Azriel, not because they genuinely think Elain and Gwyn are suited for the job.

- Azriel is far from being the best spymaster. I’d say he’s very bad at his job, and Rhys makes it worse. 😭🙏

- The High Lady title is overrated. The position of a ruler isn’t some internship that any 14-year-old can apply for. → Nesta or Elain as High Lady of Dusk? Elain as High Lady of Day or Spring? Gwyn as High Lady of Summer? Emerie as High Lady of Dawn? The only female characters I want to see rule are Viviane and Cresseida. Headcanons are cool and fun, but some of y’all treat them like facts.

- I’m not a big fan of High Lady Feyre anymore. I see her as more of a neutral party than a ruler of a specific court—or better said, a city.

- I love the Inner Circle, but I’d hate to be their friend, and I don’t think they’d enjoy being my friends either. I’d rather hang out with the Valkyries and Elain.

- I love the Valkyries, but I’m just annoyed that Nesta was given a sword and armor like most of SJM’s female characters. I fear that Elain might be the next target and I hate it.

- Nesta made the right decision in choosing her safety and comfort (sitting on that rock instead of training) over Cassian’s already-bad reputation. It wasn’t one of her prideful moments like people think so.

- Amren should’ve stayed dead. She contributes nothing to the story after ACOWAR. All she does is b*tch, whine, and moan.

- Vamren doesn’t really make sense. Amren doesn’t strike me as straight or as someone who would even pursues a relationship. It seems like Varian was just thrown at her.

- Justice for Jurian!

- Rhys does NOT need to be superior in every way. It’s okay for him to lack power in certain areas and actually be flawed. I came to that conclusion when I worked on Rhys’s character for my storytelling—it makes him a more compelling character. Tamlin also doesn’t need to suck in every way possible.

- I’m fairly confident that Gwynriel and Elucien are endgame, but I don’t care enough to try to convince people of it, nor will I be upset if they’re not endgame. SJM builds up great potential and then wastes it, so I’m not sure if an announced endgame is a good thing. You either write a good story or don’t bother at all. I won’t accept mediocrity anymore.

- Case in point: ACOSF Nessian sucked. Their love story consists of repeated sex and unnecessary arguments—bleh. Potential wasted.

- I feel nothing for Sarion or Elriel (though there’s one thing I don’t like about them, which is thankfully still just a headcanon), Emorie… and probably more ships that I can’t think of rn. I don’t like nor dislike them—they’re just there.

- I love Helion x LoA’s tragic love story, but I don’t want them together. At least, not so soon after Beron’s death. His existence isn’t the only obstacle between them. There are a lot of unresolved feelings, resentment, and trauma built up over the years. It’s really not that easy.

- Neither SJM nor the fans are aware of how long 500+ years truly is.

- Sarah’s right—Ruhn and Lidia’s wedding was corny and unnecessary.

- I loved Ruhnlidia in HOSAB. They were kind of boring in HOFAS. Then I realized that I just love DayNight more than Ruhnlidia.

- The only girl I like to see Tharion with is Hypaxia. I think their banter is cute. I know she’s a lesbian, but based on how boring SJM writes her queer ships, Hypaxia x Celestina was only bound to be unremarkable.

- Tharion was intriguing until he got his own POV. I really don’t want to feel the same about Azriel when his book comes out.

- Hunt deserves better, but he needs to give up that foot fetish.

- The only interesting bonus chapter that came with HOSAF was the Ember x Randall chapter. To be honest, a lot of bonus chapters SJM writes are so unnecessary and boring.

- The crossover should’ve never happened. It feels like a corny Marvel dream SJM had. The only good thing that came out of it was Ember being a mother hen to Nesta.

- I really don’t care about Bryce’s friendship with Nesta and Azriel.

- I’m not a fan of the headcanon that Bryce and the Valkyries would be friends, even though it makes sense.

- Bryciel gives me the ick. I saw a post that mentioned how it would be a one-night stand followed by no contact afterward, and I couldn’t agree more. I feel like they’d get annoyed with each other pretty fast. I’m sorry to anyone who ships it, but their personalities don’t mesh well...

- The torture Ruhn, Hunt, and Baxian suffered under those weirdo angels wasn’t even that bad. I shouldn’t have had high expectations.

- Baxian is a good boy, but I don’t like his mate.

- Cormac is cool. Rip.

- HOFAS was bad. I enjoyed it at first, especially the whole deal with the Viper Queen, but I got bored over time, and I couldn’t keep up with the plots anymore. HOEAB is the best book in the series. HOSAB was fine.

- All villains (except Maeve and Arobynn) are so cartoonish and corny.

I have more opinions, but that’s enough for today. I just wanted to share some of my thoughts on these books (and some theories/headcanons), and I’d love to hear your opinions!

I’ve also made the decision that I won’t read another SJM book ever again after ACOTAR ends. Until then, I’ll support my local library or download the upcoming ACOTAR books in PDF instead of giving her my money. That’s how you actually separate the art from the artist, rather than just saying it. 🥰

LOOK !!!! LOOK AT THIS !!!! ITS REAL !!!!!

So. This is interesting. Didn't think it would be revived!

Wonderful character design rambles down belowww

This enby (or what I assume is one) is definitely based on a jiangshi, which is a Chinese vampire! You can tell from their greys and generally unsaturated colors that they're not very healthy (or mayhaps alive), and their clothing which is traditional Chinese clothing!! Specifically from the Qing Dynasty i think? Their hair also provides a nice pop of color and looks like blood red, which ties into the undead thing. The flat hair also reminds me of a certain other cookie who has to do with spirts....

You cannot tell me this girl isn't bacon. Like just look at her hair that is obviously bacon colored. Her hammer however looks to be an artichoke! So i propose bacon Roll cookie! Other than that, she looks very... official? I really don't know how to put it. Her hat is very cute!!! Girl why do you have to be turned. Making my life harder like this. Making the pose more entertaining though! You can tell she's very energetic from it! Squinting, I can see that one of her socks looks to be ripped, which says that she gets in a lot of fights. Very interested in her!

Genuinely can't tell what's going on here... the glasses are cool, matches with what seems to be an eyepatch? He looks.. very tired. Mood. He really looks similar to bacon roll actually! Maybe they work for the same company? But yeah, no food ideas here. Maybe chocolate...? They do that a lot. Also don't mind the color blobs idk what's up with that. Also also! He looks like he works at the same place as bacon roll with how similar their clothes look!

Originally, i thought this guy was a citrus from the pattern on his.. shirt? Coat? Like the thing people wear when going to the beach. But now i think he's pineapple!! He's very... yellow. And his hairs green like the pineapple leaves AND just generally looks similar to it! Other than that, he just looks very beach ready with the sunglasses and the cool teeth necklace. Extra points for the cool gauntlets! Also idea: tropical punch. Because. Tropical. And he punches people.

Popsicle. I don't need to explain this one. Popsicle hat, headphones, even sick popsicle sword! Other than that he looks very.. chill. His hair kinda looks like crushed ice which could go with the whole popsicle theming? Other than that, he just looks very casual.

Then we have her. Other than looking ADORABLE.... I can't tell really what she is. Also now that i look at it what the hell is going on with her sleeve?? Very cat. Kitty headphones, kitty paws, kitty mouth, we got the whole package here. She looks very techy. Maybe she's a hologram? Designs wonderful just what is up with that sleeve.

Best for last! Ok so I'm just gonna call her melon float because you cannot tell me otherwise that she is something else ANYWYAS THIS is like peak design oh my god. I don't even know how long she had to be cooking (heh) for devsis to come up with this. The colors are WONDERFUL, 70 20 10 rule going insane here, and like. All the round shapes like her buns tell that she's very bubbly (hehx2) and it looks like she's in a swimsuit which makes sense if youre spraying water everywhere you don't want your clothes soaked and the eye covering for the same reason but it's up showing that she dosent really care- RAYGSHHS Also the fact she's spraying it out of a GIANT FLOAT??? AWWWW

That's it! Hydrangea: out.

Don't Let Me Fall III

Hockey Player!Theodore Nott x Fem!Reader

one two

my bookcase slytherin boys masterlist

part three!

The next time you saw Theo, it was completely unexpected.

You were walking back from the library after a particularly long and exhausting study session. Your head was spinning with math equations, history facts, and essays you hadn’t even started. The usual rush of students had thinned out, with most either already heading back to their rooms or off to their respective extracurriculars. You didn’t expect to run into anyone, let alone Theo.

But, of course, life had other plans.

Just as you rounded the corner near the student center, you heard someone call your name.

"Y/N!"

You looked up in surprise to see Theo walking toward you, his movements slightly hurried but not out of breath, a half-grin on his face. His jacket was slightly askew, and his hair was tousled—he was clearly coming from practice. There was something about his relaxed but purposeful steps that made him seem... more approachable, for lack of a better word. A rare moment when he wasn't the untouchable hockey player.

"Hey!" you said, trying not to sound too surprised. "What are you doing here?"

He stopped in front of you, catching his breath. "I was walking back to my dorm after practice and saw you. Figured I'd walk you back."

You blinked at him, a bit taken aback by how excited he seemed, given his typical casual demeanor. "I thought you'd be busy with all your team stuff. You know, being the star hockey player and all?"

Theo chuckled, shaking his head. "Star? I think you're confusing me with someone who actually knows what they’re doing on the ice." His voice was light, almost self-deprecating. It was the first time you’d heard him sound anything other than confident, and it caught you off guard.

"Come on," you said, smiling, "you’re being too hard on yourself. I’ve seen you play, and it’s impressive. You make it look easy."

Theo’s gaze softened slightly, though he quickly masked it with a shrug. "Maybe. But people only see that part, right? They don't see all the mistakes I make or the pressure that comes with it."

The sudden shift in his attitude made you stop walking, considering his words. He was usually so composed, always with that cool exterior, but there was something here—something more real. You hadn’t expected a conversation like this. Then again, you didn’t expect to run into him at all.

"Yeah, I get that," you said slowly, your words thoughtful. "It’s like people don’t see the whole picture. You’re more than the guy in the uniform."

Theo stopped walking too, turning his head toward you with an expression you couldn’t quite place. There was a quiet understanding in his eyes, something unspoken but shared. He was used to being looked at only for the hockey player he was, and you were offering him a glimpse of the person he actually was.

"Exactly," he said quietly, his voice low and serious. "I’ve always been more than that. But it’s not easy, you know? People expect me to be a certain way."

You nodded slowly. "I can imagine. It must get exhausting after a while."

Theo gave a half-hearted shrug. "Sometimes, yeah. But it is what it is." He paused for a moment before adding, almost as an afterthought, "It’s not just the pressure of the game. It’s everything. The way people look at me. Like they’re always waiting for me to pop up at frat parties with a crowd of women."

The way he said it was almost… defeated. You didn’t know why it felt like a weight was hanging between you now, but you could sense it. He wasn’t asking for pity. In fact, he seemed reluctant to even talk about it. But something about his words felt too real to ignore.

"I think that comes with the whole "All-Star Athlete" thing." you said, your tone softer now.

Theo met your gaze, his usual playful grin replaced by something more genuine, though still faint. "Maybe. But that's now what I want, you know? I've always always been a relationship guy. I don't want to be a douchey hockey player"

You chewed on your bottom lip for a moment, considering your next words. "You know, I’ve never been a hockey fan. I don’t really understand the game all that well, honestly." You paused, watching the surprise flicker across his face. "But, I don’t know... I think you’re cool."

The words came out more casually than you intended, and you immediately regretted them, mentally cursing yourself. Cool? You sounded like a teenager, but Theo didn’t seem bothered. He actually looked... relieved? It was hard to tell, but the smile he gave you didn’t feel forced.

"I think that’s the first time anyone’s ever called me cool," Theo said with a dry chuckle, pushing his hands into his pockets. "I’ll take it."

You both stood in a comfortable silence for a moment, the light breeze rustling through the trees above. The air felt cool and fresh, and you realized that despite how awkward this moment could’ve been, it felt oddly comfortable. Maybe you weren’t just talking about hockey players and sports anymore. Maybe, just maybe, you were starting to understand each other in a way you hadn’t before.

"I might take you up on that offer to explain the game one day," you added, feeling a little more playful now. "As long as you promise to dumb it down for me. I’m not about to learn the difference between playing power and a penalty kill anytime soon."

Theo’s grin returned, full and genuine now. "Power play, but deal. I’ll warn you though, once you start learning, you might actually get hooked."

"I don’t know if I’m ready for that kind of commitment," you teased back, earning a chuckle from him.

You both stood there for a few moments, talking easily, just like you had known each other longer than a few casual encounters. It wasn’t forced; it wasn’t awkward. And before you realized it, the conversation shifted, almost as naturally as breathing.

"So," Theo said, leaning against the side of the building as if it was the most natural thing in the world. "You coming to the game this weekend?"

The question felt like it had been building up in the air between you, unspoken, but now it was out in the open. Your heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, you hesitated. The thought of a hockey game like the last one, the excitement, the noise, the crowd—it was still a little intimidating. But then you looked at Theo, his smile small but genuine, and something inside you clicked. Maybe it was time to step out of your comfort zone.

"I’ll go," you said after a pause, your voice steadier than you felt. "But if you drag me into a conversation about strategy, I’m out."

"Wouldn’t dream of it," Theo replied, his tone teasing but warm.

You smiled back at him, feeling the tension from earlier fade into something a little more familiar. This wasn’t about hockey. It wasn’t about expectations or performances. It was about you, him, and the quiet realization that sometimes, people are more than the surface they show. And right now, it felt like you were starting to see something real.

lockpickingliar talking about kokichi in gbd has sparked my love of talking about Kokichi's interesting dynamics outside of his class in the dr s and talent development plan and now I gotta talk about some of them

alright since talent development plan is shorter lets talk about the dynamics in UTDP, at least with his own pov, not including other character special events i dont have room

First of all is Kokichi actually does somewhat play into Tsumugi's world building around his dynamic with Junko, in a way that's clearly him being a shit to her while also somehow roasting Mukuro at the same time, but still! The "darling Junko" and calling her his "bestie" is so interesting to me because that's absolutely Kokichi for "you are interesting but also i need to fuck with you or i'll explode" with poor Gonta stuck in the middle with not a single damn clue what these guys are talking about. SOMETHING is going on here between the two that's for sure.

-

He actually gets along with Monomi/Usami, while this is more prominent in DRS, they get an event in talent development as well! While extremely short, the use of the word "attention" is very telling to me, he's not annoying her, or bothering her, he's giving her attention. Which has an inherent positive tilt to it, he's not comforting her, but he's not being mean to her.

-

This whole interaction gets extra screenshots because we all know "kokichi made izuru run away" thing by now, but no one talks about the start of the conversation of Kokichi identifying Izuru to some degree. Of course this being Kokichi it's impossible tell how much he knows, but I find what he says telling, the somewhat awed reaction to seeing him, the mention of him being dead, and while he dismisses it under rumors and then also dismisses the rumors, which admittedly isn't a far fetched excuse.

I just find it really interesting that he specifically points at Izuru and goes "aren't you supposed to be dead?" While it's possible he knows nothing of the truth of the project, he in other events does show himself to be more privy to the secrets of the school then other people, so its not out of the realm of possibility he knows more about Kamukura's history then he's letting on. Especially with how targeted his questions to Izuru are about identity. Which fascinates me. What do you know you little clown.

-

His dynamic with Toko is about exactly what you'd expect, no notes, he just calls her stinky then lies about where Byakuya was while Toko gets upset, not even worth any screenshots

-

God bless this interaction honestly its gotta be one of the funniest, completely underrated dynamic, while nothing too much actually happens in form of character like, revelations, Kokichi threatening Fuyuhiko so he can have his cool dark anime battle plot line is goddamn hysterical.

-

While Hagakure isn't exactly a difficult mark, the way Kokichi got Hagakure from "stop lying" to "PLEASE GOD EMPEROR KOKICHI HELP ME" near immediately to Twogami's IMMENSE disappointment in both of them is very fucking funny, and again shows Kokichi's ability to both gather information and tug people along. It also glimpses into Kokichi and Twogami's dynamic, which seems to leave Kokichi a bit wary due to Twogami being y'know, a liar and Twogami just kinda staring at the camera like he's in the office. 10/10

-

Souda and Kokichi is also a very funny dynamic, while Souda's high strung nature does make it easier for him to go "no the fuck are you talking about???" the fact he genuinely had to be like "wait i checked to make sure it wouldn't do that" about fire destroying shit is very telling to the kind of stuff these two would get up too. Kokichi is absolutely the type to scare someone as a thanks for giving him a fun scare as well, and Souda is the exact kind of high-strung Kokichi can't resist poking. God speed Souda good luck with that

-

Jokes aside about them both being mean bullies, Hiyoko and Kokichi actually seem to get along pretty well at times. Kokichi can appreciate her darker interests and even compliment them, and Hiyoko definitely seems to appreciate the acknowledgement for the more horror metal rock aligned part of her personality. While they definitely have a potential to be very catty, if they're on the same page they seem to actually kinda click! Terrifying duo, but one with a lot of potential, especially knowing Kokichi's eye for hidden depths, something Hiyoko has in spades. Bonding!

-

On the other hand, Komaeda and Kokichi are both mentally blowing each other up while exchanging pleasantries. Kokichi does NOT like Komaeda digging into him and DICE and Komaeda is absolutely very suspicious of kokichi and his talent, but neither of the can overly overtly go after the other so they're stuck making these jabs, they hate each other and it's great.

-

Kokichi and Celeste are also definitely playing games here and don't like each other, but they're classier about it with at least seems to be a bit of mutual respect going on here, even if they both do not like the other. With of course the big fucking bombshell of him knowing Taeko's real name and hitting on the core of her identity of her disdain for reality over her fantasies.

-

Im out of pictures but Gundham does proceed to be incredibly aggressive and agitated around Kokichi, their identities run too counter and too similar, he does not trust Kokichi an inch and believes them incompatible to the very core. Which makes sense with Gundham's immense trust issues around people and those who may betray him, Kokichi is very much the exact kind of person to make Gundham jump and hiss like an angry frightened cat. Kokichi seems to be interested in Gundham though, and trying to coax his way past the rejection, though this might just be because he wants to pet Gundham's animals which like, fair. Either way, this is probably the most EXPLOSIVE dynamic of the entire development plan.

-

I am still out of pictures but I also enjoy his dynamic with Kyoko, while Kyoko is able to out maneuver Kokichi's lie, Kokichi also calls her out on a lie she makes to do so. While he can't prove Kyoko wrong, he also makes it clear he knows that Kyoko isn't saying what's right either, she's just making a point that Kokichi has to be lying through her own lie that runs contradicting. Which is the exact kind of chess death note mind games "i knew you did so i did this" "i knew you knew i would so i did this" I would expect from these two, Kokichi also finds her not boring so he definitely agrees.

hiiii may i get jojos with a reader who loves death metal and is a death metal vocalist? :3

ooh sure! my fav music genre is death metal actually! i hope u enjoy and thank you for requesting <3

Jonathan Joestar

Genuinely supportive but so confused.

He respects your passion, but death metal is just completely foreign to him.

The first time he hears your vocals, he thinks you’re being attacked by some horrific monster.

"GOOD HEAVENS! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"

Once he realizes this is just your singing, he’s so polite about it.

"Oh! That’s… quite powerful! You truly have a unique gift!"

Will never get used to it, but he’ll happily cheer you on.

Joseph Joestar

Absolutely hypes you up.

When he first hears you growl, he pretends to scream in terror just to mess with you.

"OH NO, THE DEMONS HAVE COME TO CLAIM MY SOUL!"

Loves telling people that his partner is a badass death metal vocalist.

Will request you to growl insults at people who annoy him.

"C’mon, babe. Call that guy a maggot in your evilest voice."

Tries to mimic your vocals once and ends up coughing for five minutes straight.

Jotaro Kujo

Secretly thinks it’s really cool.

If anyone makes fun of you for your music, they instantly regret it.

"If you don’t like it, don’t listen. Don’t be annoying."

Deadpans while watching you perform but will quietly stand in the back with his arms crossed, nodding along.

If you dedicate a song to him during a show? His face turns slightly red, but he just tips his hat.

"…You sound good." That’s high praise from him.

Josuke Higashikata

LOVES IT. YOU’RE SO COOL.

"You can do that growly thing?! NO WAY! Show me again!"

Wants to start a band with you but can’t play any instruments.

Will brag about you to anyone who listens.

"Yeah, my partner? They’re a legit death metal singer. Bet your partner isn’t that badass!"

If you teach him how to sing, he’ll keep trying but end up laughing every time.

Giorno Giovanna

Respects your artistry but doesn’t fully understand it.

When he first hears you perform, he just nods thoughtfully.

"Your control over your voice is remarkable."

Would never stop you from pursuing your passion, even if it’s not his taste in music.

However, he won’t tolerate insulting your music.

If you’re ever tired after screaming for hours, he makes you tea and insists you rest your voice.

Jolyne Cujoh

THINKS YOU’RE THE COOLEST PERSON EVER.

"Damn, babe, your voice could scare the hell out of a priest!"

Loves playing your music really loud just to annoy people.

She definitely brags about you to her cellmates.

"Yeah, my partner’s a total badass. They could probably scream loud enough to break these prison walls."

If you let her wear your band merch, she’ll never take it off.

Johnny Joestar

Did NOT expect this from you.

"Wait, wait, wait- you do what?"

At first, he’s slightly intimidated by your vocals, but then he starts to find them weirdly impressive.

Will jokingly say "Damn, I thought my life was rough, but your music makes me feel like I got off easy."

If you ever perform at a saloon or public space, he’ll 100% record it on a phonograph and play it for Gyro.

Josuke Higashikata (Gappy)

Goes completely blank-faced when he first hears you.

"Oh. That’s… that’s your voice?"

Actually loves it.

Enjoys watching you practice and finds the process fascinating.

If you tell him to scream along with you, he will do it without hesitation but sounds horrible.

"RAAAHH- wait, no, my throat hurts."

He’s in the music video, baby

Synopsis 𝝑𝝔 as an upcoming singer, the beginning of your career has been quite a success. Coming up to film a music video, there’s only one guy who you want to play the other main part- but no way he’ll agree, right?

Warnings 𝝑𝝔 Music video is about sex, use of ‘juno’ by Sabrina carpenter, smut! Fingering, mating press, no condom, little bit of dom!drew(if you squint).

Word count 𝝑𝝔 4.2k

“So, I’ve heard that you’d like a special someone to star in a certain music video,” Jimmy grins at you, leaning over the desk. You smile, cheeks already burning as you glance towards the audience and then back at Jimmy.

“Well, yes. It’s quite embarrassing how many people know, actually.” Jimmy laughs, drumming his hands on the desk.

“Do we all want to know who it is?” He addresses the audience, a chorus of ‘yes’ following. The darkness on your cheeks deepens further, hands playing with the edge of your dress.

“You can’t put me on the spot like this Jimmy,” you whine, hands coming up to cool your cheeks. He grins even wider, pulling a large card out from under the desk.

“Ahem, attention please! Our mystery man is….” He pauses for dramatic effect, before spinning the card and showing the audience. It’s a picture of Drew Starkey, of course, one from the Cannes film festival. He looks so handsome.

“Drew Starkey!” The audience applauds, a few whistles coming your way. It quietens for a brief second, and you wait for Jimmy to say something else- but he’s too busy grinning at something behind you.

Someone taps your shoulder.

Your eyes widen. Jimmy is laughing now, and you shoot him a look of pure disbelief. He nods, gesturing for you to turn around.

You do. Very slowly. You’re met with a black suit, ringed hands, and you know. Your eyes drift upwards and there he is, staring down at you with nothing short of a smile on his face.

“What the fuck,” is the first thing that comes out of your mouth. Everyone laughs and you finally stand on shaky legs, looking back at Jimmy once more who’s absolutely loving the chaos he’s caused.

“Hi there,” Drew says, and you turn back to look at him. He opens his arms for a hug and you genuinely have to take a step back to see if this is real or not. His arms drop a little.

“Sorry, sorry. Just in shock,” you try to laugh it off as you accept his hug. He’s tall and warm and wraps around you in all the right places. It feels wrong when he pulls away.

You sit back down, turning to Jimmy. “I cannot believe you’ve done this.” His mouth twitches.

“You wanted him to be in your music video so I’m just making that possible,” Jimmy says. His eyes glint with mischievousness and you feel your skin heat up even more. You’re sure you’re as red as a tomato.

“Yeah, and if I could just butt in, I’d totally be down. I love the song.” Drew comments, and you’re sure you could just melt into a puddle right there and then.

The audience bursts out in cheers, and Jimmy quietens them. “So, what do you say? Do you want him in your music video?”

You gulp. Nodding, like you’re scared to speak, but you know you need to. You face drew.

“I’d like that, if you’d wanna,” he smiles, warm, like it meets his eyes. Lord, he could definitely hear your heartbeat.

“I’d love to.”

The day is really really warm. You’re on set, in your dressing room, getting put into one of your signature tight corsets that leave little to the imagination.

It’s impossible to belive that Drew is in the trailer next door, also getting ready to play the part of your boyfriend. In your music video.

“I can’t believe this is happening,” you whisper, earning a huff from Mia, your best friend/ stylist/ everything else.

“Girl, that’s all you’ve said for the past hour we’ve been getting you ready. Chill or this shoot will take twice as long.” She pulls a string on the corset especially tight and you yelped, reaching back. Your hand is swatted away and you hear her hum for a second before she pulls back.

“Tada! All finished, have a look.” You move from the stool you were sat on to stand in front of the mirror, taking in your appearance. You’re wearing a baby pink corset dress, along with some pink platform heels. Your hair is curled into beach waves and there’s a few pink clips along the edges.

“You look sexy. Like you’re about to go film the music video of your life,” Misa whistles and you roll your eyes. There’s a knock on the trailer door that reminds you it’s five minutes until shoot and you run your hands down your corset.

You turn to Mia. “I am so nervous.”

She scoffs. “You’re about to live almost every girls wet dream. Stop being so nervous and go,” she pushes your shoulder towards the door and you roll your eyes, opening the door and clambering down the steps sideways.

The first scene you’re shooting is the beginning of the song, where you’re going to be driving back to your ‘house’, you in the passenger seat and Drew driving. He’s already sat in the car, on his phone.

He looks so good. Dressed in a brown corduroy jacket, white t-shirt and blue jeans. As if he can sense you, he looks up when he sees you walking over.

He smiles at you. You smile back, waving a little. The director catches your arm, pulling you to the side to discuss the scene before ushering you to the car. You climb into the passenger seat, positioning yourself until the camera man gives you the thumbs up that you’re in focus.

You’re cross legged, leaning on your palm on the center console as Drew gets into place, leaning back in the seat and wrapping one ringed hand around the wheel.

He looks over at you. “You look very gorgeous.”

You giggle, nerves disappearing. You can hear the countdown in the background and you look back at the camera.

“Keep up with the compliments, Starkey. I like it.” You can see him smile in the corner of your eye, as the intro to Juno begins to play.

By the final scene, you’re thankful you’ve chosen to lay down on a bed and basically do nothing. The iconic line is approaching, and you’re currently laid on your back on the bed, legs straight up in the air as you turn your head to the side, facing the camera.

Drew is stood to the side of the set, waiting for his cue to come in.

This is the part that truly makes you nervous. He’s gonna be all up in your business, touching you, caressing you, kissing you.

Yeah.

“Okay, we’re ready if you’re ready,” the director shouts and you nod as best you can, listening out for the music to begin playing.

“Have we ever tried this one?” Flows through the set speakers, and as it does, you lower your legs to the bed, knees still up, opening your legs wide so Drew can slot through them. He comes to the edge of the bed, jeans and white shirt only, grasping one of your boots and kissing up the leg as he takes it off.

He does the same to the other boot before crawling up through your legs, just as the final chorus begins. His eyes meet your own, smiling down at you before his hand slides down to grip your waist just above the skirt of your dress.

And, just like planned, you roll over, pushing him to sit underneath you as you straddle his lap. You look towards the camera to sing some lyrics as his hands wander all over your body, his focus on you and you only. You can feel his stare burning through you as you sing the last of the lyrics, turning back to Drew.

He nods, a tiny little bit, and you lean down, brushing your lips against his own. You can feel how soft his lips are, and it feels like he leans up further into the kiss as the sheer curtains around the bedposts begin to close towards the end of the song.

It’s so hot, you can feel the energy between the two of you and it makes you gasp a little into the kiss, Drew’s hand pressing firmly on your back. You have to remind yourself that it’s not real.

The music dies out and you pull away from Drew, laughing as the director cheers at a ‘flawless’ take.

“I uh- thank you Drew,” you mumble, pulling yourself from his lap. He laughs, hands falling to his side as he climbs off the middle of the bed to sit next to you on the edge.

You can see Mia at the edge of the set, a grin in her face as she observes.

“Yeah, it’s no problem. I’ve really enjoyed today.” Drew responds, ringed hand falling onto your knee. He squeezes, before standing and pulling you up with him, into a hug. Your cheeks heat and the nervousness is right back there with you. This is the man you’ve had a crush on for ages. Never thought he even knew who you were. And now he’s here. In front of you. Looking at you like he wants to kiss you again. You’re embarrassed to admit that you’d let him, despite barely knowing eachother.

He leans forward, mouth curving outwards as if he’s about to say something-

You clear your throat. “I’m gonna go get changed out of this, my entire body is killing me.” He nods, and you move away from the close proximity, grabbing your shoes from the edge of the bed.

His stare burns into your back as you pad your way back to your trailer, and you wish you could’ve done more.

Later that week, you’re celebrating the release of the music video with the team when your phone pings on the table. You pick it up, laugh dying in your throat as you see it’s a text from Drew. You hadn’t really spoke since that awkward moment between the two of you, where Mia informed you it looked like you totally blew him off when he was about to kiss you again. Or say something to you. Either way, it was embarrassing as hell and you’d been too scared to speak to him.

So yeah, communication had been spectacular.

Drew: congrats on the music video release. You look amazing. Any chances on celebrating soon?

Mia leans over your shoulder, dropping a manicured hand to your phone screen and tapping. “Girl, if you don’t respond I will.”

You roll your eyes at her, placing your phone back down on the table. Mia grabs your shoulder, turning you to face her.

“Listen to me. This is the man you’ve had a crush on for ages and you basically had screen sex with him, you bluffed and now you’re too scared to send a text back? Grow up. Respond now.” She stares hard at you, before raising her eyebrows and gesturing to the phone.

She’s right, you’re scared. He’s just so- him. And you’re you. He was only in the music video because he was being nice.

Right?

“Okay, okay, you win,” you huff, picking up your phone and unlocking it to Drew’s text.

You: you look pretty handsome yourself. I’m free after six tonight?

You spin your phone around, to show the text to Mia, who nods with a grin, her approval. With a deep breath in, you send the text and lock your phone, placing it back on the table fairly quickly.

“Proud of you. Now we wait,” Mia says- followed by the chime of your phone. He eyebrows raise once again, shocked this time.

“He’s so interested in you, that was quick.” She comments, and you roll your eyes.

“Maybe he’s just a good responder,” you blow her off, picking up your phone again. She’s leaning over your shoulder, trying to read what he’s sent.

Drew: sounds good. I’m free too, my place or yours?

Mia tuts, leaning back in the booth. Fuck, this is really happening.

“Mia, what the fuck do I say?” Mia laughs, linking her arm through your own. “You say your house, my lovely.”

Six o’clock rolls around quicker than you’d like. You’re a bundle of nerves, sat on your sofa as you wait for the intercom to go off. You’ve long since changed out of your dress you wore for the dinner, opting for a pair of checkered shorts and an old Florence and the machine shirt that you’re sure belongs to your dad.

You’ve got some nonsensical movie playing on your tv, a glass of wine helping to calm your nerves a little. How had your life gone from knowing of this man to him coming round to yours?

The intercom ringing startles you more than you’d like to admit, and you know it’s Drew because who else would it be at this time? A large swig of the wine helps you to actually get up and answer the phone.

“Hey, it’s Drew,” his voice speaks down the line. It’s got that hint of cheekiness in it that makes you smile.

“Hi Drew, I’ll buzz you in, fourth floor.” You press the key button that opens the door and hang up the phone once you hear the door close on the other end of the line, and wait near the door.

A few moments later he knocks. You take one last look at yourself in the hallway mirror, deeming it too late to change now anyway, before unlocking the door and pulling it to.

Drew stands there, taller than you remember, dressed in joggers and a hoodie. He’s got a cap on hiding his mullet, making you frown internally. Possibly your number one favourite haircut on him.

He crosses the threshold of your apartment and now it’s real. He’s here. You shut the door behind him and stand in your spot, watching him take his shoes off like he’s been here a million times before.

He turns to you, grinning. “I got you this,” suddenly a bottle of your favourite wine is in his hands, too fast to know where the fuck he got it from.

“Drew, that’s so sweet, how did you know?” You take the bottle from him as he taps the side of his nose, and lead him through into the living/ kitchen area of your apartment.

“You can sit here, do you want anything to drink?” You ask him, as he makes himself at home on your sofa. He eyes the bottle of wine in your hand and the near empty glass on the table.

“I’ll have what you’re having.” You don’t miss the way his eyes flutter up your legs, before meeting your own and smiling.

You place the bottle on the table and walk to the kitchen area, opening your glass cupboard and reaching for another wine glass.

You soon join him in the sofa, pulling open the bottle of wine.

“So, long time crush huh?” Drew smirks, now nursing a glass of wine. You smile, biting the edge of your own glass.

“Is that bad? Sorry, you’re just- you. Who doesn’t like you?” He laughs, looking around your apartment.

“I’m flattered, really. You’re not so bad yourself.”

“Oh hush.” You respond back, taking a sip of your wine. It was truly the only thing stopping you from freaking out right now.

“I’m being serious. Congrats on the music video release, by the way.” Drew sinks back into the sofa. “Your place is really nice too,”

You smile behind your glass. “Thank you. I couldn’t have done the music video without you.”

The bottle of wine goes quickly. You’d talked just about everything, from your childhoods to things you’d recently been doing.

“Yeah, I got an invite to perform some stuff at the Brits,” Drew’s hand squeezes your knee, rubbing the area. Somehow, you’d both rearranged to be more comfortable on the sofa, Drew with his feet up on the coffee table and your own thrown over his lap.

Yeah, safe to say you were tipsy. Sober you would be crying right now.

Drew pouts. “That makes my movie seem like nothing.” You giggle at his pout, leaning forward. You press your fingers into the corners of his mouth, pulling it up into a smile.

“Acting is far cooler than singing, Drew.” When you pull back, his smile stays. “Yeah?” He asks, voice low.

Your heart flutters. Hell, everything flutters. You remind yourself that he knows you had- have a crush on him, and at this point you’re confident he’s playing into it.

“Yeah,” you down the last of your wine, reaching for your phone. The time reads 10.47 pm.

“I’m glad you think so, but yours is still cooler.” His hands slide upwards, staying on your thigh. It feels like he hasn’t stopped looking at you all night- and with how hot he looks the wine is really, really not helping you.

“You’re just flattering me.” You mutter, placing your phone back on the table. Drew shakes his head, lightly squeezing your thigh. It sends a shock right up your spine.

“No I’m not, I’m being serious.”

You wrinkle your nose, looking up at the tv.

“You are, you’re just being nice.”

Drew laughs, all breathily. “What? Shoot me for being truthful.” He squeezes again. “And if it’s a crime to be nice to a pretty girl, then I’ll take the punishment.”

Your cheeks must be bright red by now. This was insane. You’re actually living this life right now. This is real. He’s real. He’s calling you pretty. You felt like you were in a wattpad story. That you may or may not have read.

That would never leave your deepest darkest secrets. Ever.

“Oh hush, you’re being ridiculous now.” You respond. Drew grins again, eyes drooping.

“You think you’re the only one that had a crush?” He asks, and you freeze. Your eyes meet his own and his hand grasps you again, a gentle reminder that this is real.

“Wha-”

“You’re so pretty, who wouldn’t have a crush on you?” He spins your words from earlier right back at you and it leaves your mouth agape, heart beating faster than it probably should.

“And now, here I am, sat in the same room as you, after filming a music video with you that felt so real I had to calm myself down afterward.”

His hand slides further. You find your lip between your teeth, mind spinning. Now, the wine was not on your side. You could totally throw up. He liked you back? No.

He also felt- feels what you feel? It’s not a one sided thing that makes you embarrassed to even breathe the same air as him?

“Can I please kiss you because I’ve been thinking about it since last week,” he blurts out, and you’ve never been so fast to clamber into someone’s lap.

His hands reach for your waist, just like last week, and it feels exactly the same. You lean forward, capturing his lips in a kiss that has him groaning, fingers gripping your waist tighter.

You head is doing somersaults right now. His lips are soft but unrelenting against your own as you kiss, neither pulling away for air. You find one of your hands in his hair, grasping and pulling as he pushes your hips down to meet his own.

You gasp into the kiss. You can feel everything through the material that separates you, and it’s more than you could have ever imagined- or have read about.

Drew pulls pack, head falling onto the top of the sofa. You press down a little more, causing him to groan again.

“You’re killing me,” he mumbles, drinking you in. You push down again, loving how it feels. Drew’s lips part.

“You’d better stop, I’m not sure I’ll be able to if you keep up with that,” his fingers are crushing into your sides, poorly trying to stop you.

“What if I don’t want you to stop?” You barely get the question out before he’s laying you out on the sofa, crawling ontop of you and kissing you like it’s the last thing you’ll do. He’s grinding down into you now, not holding anything back.

Once his tongue swipes your lip, you know you’re done for. You whine when he pulls back, hair disheveled from your hands and lips swollen.

“Tell me you want this. Tell me,” there’s a sense of longing, desperation in his voice- but it’s nothing short of commanding. It makes your panties dampen, significantly.

You nod. “Please, Drew,” his eyes darken, hands gliding down your body to pull at your shorts. He waits for your nod again before pulling them all the way down your legs, tossing them somewhere in the living room. He leans back on his legs in between your own, hands resting on your knees. He doesn’t bother trying to hide the look on his face when he sees your damp panties.

“All this for me?” His eyes meet your own as his thumb runs down your slit over your underwear, hissing when he catches your hole and the wetness that’s there. You frantically nod, digging your head into the pillow when he drags his thumb back up to circle your clit.

“Please, Drew,” you muster, voice barely a whisper. He grins, pulling back so he can pull your underwear down your legs. “Fuck me,” he groans, coming back to his original position. You feel his index and middle finger prodding at your entrance, before they push all the way in. The coldness of his rings shock you, a moan slipping from your mouth.

“You’re soaked. Did I do this?” His other hand rests atop your pussy, thumb pressing lightly onto your clit as his fingers begin to move slowly. You meekly nod, hips lifting upward as his motions slowly increase their pace.

It’s been so long since you’ve been like this, so it doesn’t take much for you to get to where you wanna be. Your moans get louder and louder as his fingers begin picking up their pace, and the pressure of his thumb on your clit is making you see stars.

“Oh fuck, Drew, oh my god,” you whimper, hand reaching out to grasp his bicep. Drew smiles down at you, curling his fingers inside you.

“I know sweet girl, I know, let go for me.” His words of encouragement send you over the edge, hips lifting off the sofa as you legs close around his frame and his fingers never stop moving in you.

Once he’s sure you’re satisfied, he pulls his fingers away and climbs back up to be level with you. His lips are straight on your own again, bringing you back to the present. Your hands reach for the bottom of his shirt and he lifts off you to pull it off.

“Been thinking about this for ages,” he admits, leaning back down. You laugh. “Me too.” A hand of your own reaches down to his sweats, wrapping around his cock. He’s firm, long. It feels surreal to have him like this.

“Fuck. Can I fuck you, princess?” The pet name makes your pussy flutter, other hand grasping his mullet to pull him back to kiss you as you continue palming him through his joggers. His muscles tense.

“Please, I need to feel you.” You pull away from the kiss, meeting his eyes. The desperation is back, so raw and needy and it makes you keen.

“Please drew, fuck me.” He’s off you in an instant, pulling down his joggers and boxers. He’s better than you’ve imagined. Even from feeling him, it doesn’t do justice.

His tip is red and leaking precum, and he reaches down into his jacket for his wallet where he pulls out a condom.

“I’m on birth control,” Drew stops, turning to face you.

“You sure?” He questions and you nod. Wet dream come true. He’s on you faster than you can blink, stroking his cock a few times before lining it up with your entrance.

You both gasp when he pushes in, and you swear you’ve never felt this full before. Every guy before you suddenly never happened.

“I knew you’d be tight when I felt you on my fingers but Jesus, fuck me. Perfect little pussy.” His words go straight your core and you moan, fingers wrapping around your neck. He pulls back, pushing both your legs against your chest before settling in again and starting to move slowly.

“Fuck, Drew,” you breathe out, pulling him down for another kiss. He groans into your mouth, hips beginning to fuck into you at a relentless pace.

You’re so done for. You can hear the squelching of you around him as he somehow keeps getting faster, one hand wrapping around the bottom of your shirt and tugging. You pull it up over your head as best you can with the position and Drew groans.

“No bra? Naughty girl,” One of his hands reaches in between you and begins to circle your clit again, making you cry out as you grip his biceps.

“Fuck, I’m not gonna last long. Come for me princess, let me feel it.” He speeds up further, finger drawing tight, fast circles on your clit.

“Mmmm Drew, right there oh-” he leans down, capturing your lips in a kiss as you finally crest over, white lining your vision as you clench around him. You’re moaning in tandem in each others mouths and you feel Drew’s pace stutter and eventually stop, hot spurts of his cum coating your insides as he falls to lay on your chest.

You’re both breathing heavily, one of your hands lacing through his hair as he slowly pulls out of you.

“There’s a towel over behind the chair, if you wanna grab it,” you lazily point to the armchair and drew nods, coming back a second later.

“Just gotta clean you up,” he spreads your legs again, wiping away between your legs before balling it up and putting it on the table.

He puts his boxers on, passing you his jumper to pull over yourself. “That was amazing,” you mumble, sinking further into the bliss of how comfy the sofa is. Drew chuckles, running a hand up your bare legs.

“I’m glad I make the cut.” You scoff, lifting your head off the pillow to look at him.

“You are the cut.” He smiles at you. “Now c’mere, it’s too late for you to go home.”

BUT a video game with nicos bajillion side quests would be so goddam cool. visuals would go INSANE.

it would also be sooooo funny for him to have an inventory of weird shit and its just infinite

jason:

i need on on stage play hamlet style and it needs to be so haunting and lonely

imagine that. for a second.

the pain of jason's life

with jason as the character watching

lemme articulate this better.

we are introduced to jason, the adult character

this calm, quiet, kind, happy man

and then he dies

and he wakes up on stage alone

and he asks, aloud, what is going on

and no one answers

because he is a character

and then he watches every day of his past, hazed in smoke

and he is horrifed

the entire play is just the audience watching in complicit horror, not answering as jason demands, with increasing desperation, "why? why did she give me up? why was i alone?why did no one come for me? why did no one help me? why was i alone? why did i lose? why did my heart have to be the one to break? why was i alone? why did no one stop my sacrifice? why did i have to be sacrificed? why was i alone? why was i alone? why was i alone?"

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

will:

looooove Deaf/HoH will.

love that will has No fashion sense.

love southern accent will.

love will who has been burning the torch for nico for one hundred years.

percy:

love when he has an obvious and shyly embarrassing crush on annabeth.

love when he is incredibly emotionally mature.

actually i will be real i dislike a lot of fanon percy. i feel like people try really hard to make him dislikeable, like stupid or mean or thoughtless and i hate it

nico:

whipped nico my beloved.

nico is a little closer to percy in terms of fanon dislikes for me actually. hate hate hate how he is treated like a little meow meow that everyone has to protect.

jason:

LOVE Black jason. like he is Black to me i get jumpscared every time i see White jason or thalia.

love sweetheart jason like he is i love him

Done with season six of RWBY. Here's a brief summary of what to expect down below: Oh so-not-my gods.

- Thank me laters and non-rusty partners. New Grimm alert as well.

- Neptune is barking up the wrong tree with Ilia. Sun and Blake have a 'not really a break-up, but still a break-up' break-up. Sealed with a kiss on the cheek.

- How much you wanna bet Blake having some things to figure out includes her feelings for Yang?

- Sun is genuinely a good guy.

- The team is bunking again!!! You will never get away from the sound of the place that loved you.

- Smart doofuses(affectionate) on the top. Cultured ladies at the bottom. 💖

- What is it with Team RWBY and trains and butchering off their sections?

- Maria. Who be this diva? I like her. Her garb reminds me of ATLA's water tribe folks.

- The opening theme has so much going on...

- Weiss and Ruby are good. Yang and Blake... aren't. Have an Adam shaped ghost haunting them. Qrow is taken away by Grimm. So is Ruby, almost. Hooded lady with Torchwick's hat flowing in the wind? Bad people with no Cinder... Ozpin's statue? His past incarnations. Jaune isn't happy with Ozcar. Team RWBY turning into one another seamlessly is forever incredible animation!!!

- Cinder is alive. And that's not good news for the lady who found her. Identity theft about to happen?

- They are really playing around a bit with the sequence of events here.

- Ozpin has trust issues. That's to be expected I guess. He has been around for a long long long long, how many reincarnations did he have again, time.

- Huh. He did lie then. Thank you Yang and Oscar.

- Jinn has unlocked Salem's backstory. Ooooh!

- So, Cinder is the hoodie woman from the opening.

- Mankind wasn't fighting amongst themselves when the godly brothers decided to leave them behind. Humanity was waging war against these divine shiteheads... The fuck. This God of Light is biased. I need to talk to his mum.

- The brothers Grimm are a bunch of divas, it seems to me. And I mean it in every possible insulting way so far... You are telling me one hooman managed to piss them off this much?! And they punished her entire race over it??!??!!! Fucking egotistical arseholes.

- Are you kidding me. The four maidens were their kids?!??? Fuck. It's a love story gone wrong.

- I don't know how to feel yet. Fucking fuckity fucked up hell.

- The Moon was whole once. How poetic.

- Qrow's really feeling it. Hitting Oscar was unnecessary, but I get that it was Oz in there. However, Oscar is still inside as well... It's bad now. Big emotions everywhere.

- Maria Calavera has her priorities right, I will give her that. The way the opening is framed makes me wonder if she had silver eyes too.

- Emerald really looked up to Cinder. I feel for her a little. At least the lady's alive still.

- Tyrian is a jerk so far. With very severe people pleasing tendencies for Salem.

- Qrow has no purpose left, while Ozpin has left the chat.

- Survival instinct works miracles. At least for Salem. She now knows of Ozpin. And Mercury and Emerald know of Cinder's alive status. They are both in over their heads as well.

- Salem having a meltdown over her dead husband reincarnating again so soon was not on my bingo card for this year.

- Brunswick Farms. Sounds like the beginning of a horror movie.

- Neo is here. I forgot she wasn't for some time.

- Ohhhh. She wants to avenge Torchwick. That's why his hat is flying in the opening.

- A town with dead bodies in bed. Maria is rhyming. Yang thinks Blake thinks she needs to be protected. Fuck.

- Moody, cranky, lethargic. What Grimm is doing this?

- Apathy. What the fuck.

- Silver eyes activation alert! Maria knows what's up.

- This is why I love people like Weiss. They make sure things akin to their situation can never happen again. A win for all Type-A folks around!

- Honestly, the mayor of the town using Grimm to cut costs is pretty on brand with our own capitalist society.

- Called it!!! Maria had silver eyes. She cool.

- And wielded weapons like Thor's Mjölnir. Or Mew-Mew. Boomerang axes that go to one another AND her. COOOOOOOOL!!!

- They took away her eyes for what?! The fuck.

- Maria was so badass, Qrow based his weapon off of hers. I think she is still good.

- "Tryst in the Mist" is in theatres now! Grab that special someone and head to Argus TODAY!!! And if that don't have you foaming at the mouth, there's other selections like "The Fall of Beacon," and "Demon of the Deep" waiting for you! 💫

- Saphron is Jaune's elder sister with a kid. The baby is so adorable!!!

- Didn't realise a weakness for any and everything cute was a shared trait for Weiss and Yang!

- OH MY GODS. SAPHRON AND TERRA COTTA. THEY ARE A SAPPHIC COUPLE WITH A BABY!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Nice names. They were meant to be together.

- Caroline Cordovin. I ship her with Maria Calavera now. Enemies to forced friends to lovers. 😆

- Oscar keeps catching unnecessary strays.

- "Preflexes." LoLLL! I adore this woman. She should be my grandmother.

- Wait. So Ruby has the same eyes as the God of Light? Huh.

- Oscar has left the chat too.

- Emerald and Mercury are having second thoughts. Well, Emerald definitely is. Tyrian wants them to change sides so he can kill them. How... I don't have words for that actually.

- Jaune says he overreacted, but I don't think so. Pyrrha died for the cause. And now it feels like that may have been for nothing... Taking it out on Oscar was bad though. Can't deny this. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH. They are all just kids.

- Is this Pyrrha's mum? ...I am definitely crying. The one lone fall leaf floating away was too much.

- Oscar actually went off to get a makeover! Adrian wants to join the group hug. ✨

- Cordovin proves you are never too old to be part of a fandom. Much respect. Ironwood is somehow the K-pop idol equivalent here.

- Adrian is a wonderful actor. Maria is not heavy at all. Bumbleby is riding Bumbleby together. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! 🫶🏻

- They bantered. I am in heaven. Also, Terra Cotta is the best!

- The FUCKKKKK. Adam's here?! ...Is this where he dies? YASSSSSSSS!!!

- Ooooooh! I get it now. Qrow was taken in by apathy this season. Not just the Grimm, but in general too because of everything that's going on. Gotcha.

- Nora's man?!?!??? AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!! RENORA!!!!!! 💝

- WhiteRose riding a Lancer together. ❤️‍🔥

- Did Jaune just teleport away?!

- Can't believe I am the one saying this, but Cordovin needs to get a life outside of her fandom.

- The fuck. Things aren't looking good for our protagonists. I hope Maria and Oscar are okay.

- Sometimes I wish I could be part of the show just so I can kill that filthy Taurus. But I don't want to take that away from Bumbleby.

- Good Gods. He was branded by the SDC. Fuck. Sorry that happened to him... But it doesn't excuse what he is putting Blake, and everyone who went against him, through now.

- Yang has entered the scene. While her motorcycle has left it. RIP. 😭

- Adam and Yang having similar semblances... Talk about foils. Bumbleby was forever meant to be!!!

- "She is not protecting me. And I am not protecting her. We are protecting each other." 🤯👏🏻🥹💖💫🤌🏻🌟❤️‍🔥🤝🏻🤩🫶🏻🙂‍↕️

- Cordovin should take a chill pill. Please and thank you.

- Is Argus under attack? Fuck. Watts and Tyrian are going to Atlas too... FUCK.

- This Atlas lady's superiority complex is getting on my nerves now. It's too realistic.

- Blink if you think Ruby has a martyr complex.

- Killing a man together is a love language. ✨

- Your negativity so bad, it attracts a Leviathan. Cordovin needs to get a new hobby. At least it wasn't Salem's minions.

- Cinder. You may be hot, but that don't mean you get away with using Pyrrha's last words like this. 😡

- Good Gods. Ruby's first attempt at utilising her eyes didn't work because she started thinking of everything she has lost. Can't protect that. The Jinn move was good though, I agree.

- Also, I really love how they draw and animate their memories a little differently. No one can remember everything the exact same way it happened. This distinction reinforces it, I feel.

- Summer Rose. Huh. Spitting image of Ruby.

- Nice to know Cordovin has more good in her than pride.

- "We were there for each other." 😍💯💥

- Hybrid Grimm. Exactly what we needed.

- Thinking about how people like Ruby are important because they are good and they truly believe there's always a choice. Even if you are going against someone immortal and even when you know it can't be done... Someone should try any way. And am bound to agree.

- I need to start the next volume now.

(You spoil me, I spoil your food with laxatives. Sayonara!)

I just think you make it so clear that you have so much genuine love for the topics that interest you, and I just think that's really cool!

You're so nice to me *sobs*, my ramblings are so disjointed-

I have always really liked Odysseus, but I feel a lot of his nuance was lost to me until now. I really like learning more about subjects like this, especially with people as sincere as you about keeping informed and being so forthcoming with not only sharing your thoughts and opinions but also linking it with the actual texts.

Ohhh- Gosh, I wish Jorge did that with Leucothea. That would so cool and would make so much sense. It definitely would have added more to the story. I feel like I would've like that a lot more, because the Vengeance Saga is my least favourite Saga and I have not listened to Get In The Water or Six Hundred Strike at all. I always skip them when I'm listening to the musical. I just- didn't like them.

Aaaa! Prince Of Egypt mention! I'm a christian protestant and I ADORE that movie. Watched it so many times, also at school actually! I go to a catholic school, many of my classmates have watched it too. My religion teacher even put on during class, and though he explained the inaccuracies and the creative liberties taken, he also told our class that he watches that movie with his family all the time. It would have been so, well, epic, if a retelling of the Odyssey did that as well. To serve the story some justice in a beautiful and respectful way.

For Circe and Odysseus- Yess, I wish Jorge added the power imbalance there. The transactional relationship between them, I mean what more could Odysseus do in the face of a Goddess? Especially since he wanted his men to live. I also- sorta wanted more of Love In Paradise? Odysseus' mental state and how Calypso treated him. Like what you said before about Odysseus, a warrior, being powerless. I wanted more of his thoughts, more of the long-term consequences on how he perceives people and especially women? I hope I'm not reading to much into it, but him being an SA survivor and how that would affect his relationships really interests me, I don't want him to suffer, I just wish there was more. If that even makes sense?

Coming into the Epic: The Musical Fandom was sorta a shock to me, like, when I discovered the "Manwhore" AU on tumblr, I just felt uncomfortable. I know it's supposed to be comedic and funny, but I don't see how Odysseus giving his body to Zeus or Poseidon to save his men is supposed to be funny at all?? I've seen people in the fandom talk about him being an SA survivor, in regards to Circe and Calypso, so I really don't understand why they would play something like this up for laughs? Since SA is a serious topic. And when I was on Ao3, the fanfics I've seen floating around about it mostly made him enjoy selling his body and it's just- gross, I think. Like why write about that? Why make him suffer more? Why write him enjoying it?? The writers could have just written about what happened in the actual Odyssey if they wanted to write something angsty with Odysseus being SAed and explore his struggles, instead of making something up about Zeus and/or Poseidon.

Misinformation is very rampant in the community, not just about the source but also the Canon of the musical itself? People in numerous comment sections make up stuff about things Jorge has supposedly said and no one provides sources. I've seen so many instances of this, and fans get very upset when another person says, "No, that never happened, this is misinformation" because it's apparently rude, but I really don't think it is? Like, refuting someone because they don't have facts straight isn't something to get angry at them for. Facts are facts. And personal headcanon should never be presented as actual fact when there's nothing to back it up. Especially in places where many people are going to see it and think it's actual fact. You're right on it being damaging. Misinformation is very harmful and completely shifts how a person who is less knowledgeable on things will perceive said things. Y'know?

As for yapping- There is nothing to forgive, as I've told you before, please keep going! Keep sharing your thoughts, I love it so much.

Please I'm so terrible at talking, I just word vomit- dghdhjgdkjdh

Hello! I just stumbled upon your blog when I joined The Odyssey community! If it isn't too much a bother to ask, what things, reccuring themes and characterizations do you feel are most important and iconic within The Odyssey?

I am asking this mostly because I really do like your rants and opinions, I find myself agreeing to a lot of what you say, which sorta surprises me because of your clear dislike of Epic, whereas I personally adore Epic: The Musical. (I stayed away from it for a while -I was wary of retellings, adaptions and what-not- until I finally got into it like, a month ago and since, I have been listening non-stop)

So, when I came onto your posts, I was immediately drawn towards your Epic based rants and your translations. Point for point, you hit all the parts I disliked about the musical, albeit, my dislike is obviously much milder, since I still love it. I also completely understoond your stance on source material over so-called retellings since I have felt and still do feel the same about other (unrelated to The Odyssey) medias and fandoms.

If you'd like to talk, I love to hear more of your thoughts! Tell me all of what you loved about The Odyssey. Refresh my knowledge and give me your insight! I'm getting back into reading it, since I read it only once before a long time ago. I have always been more of a casual enjoyer, but now I'm really trying to dip my toes in.

(You don't have to say anything about the musical either, I just really liked your rants on it and the corrections you made on the misinformation rampant in the fandom due to preconceived notions... Sorry, I talk a lot-)

Why hello and I am quite honored you discovered me hahahahaha oh my, my once again being known for my runts huh? Hahaha XD I can see why though! I am really honored you decided to ask me such intriguing question! Hahaha how dare you! You know I am a yapper about this book! Hehehe!

I would say one reoccurring theme in the Odyssey that I rarely ever see in adaptations is the theme of seeking of knowledge. I find it so disappointing how it is literally one of the main themes of the Odyssey and yet I rarely ever see it happening. It is literally at the first lyrics of the poem:

πολλῶν δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω

He saw many cities of men and gained knowledge from them

(Translation by me)

Odysseus was not just experiencing his homecoming. It was a cognitive trip; a trip where he learnt things and he achieved things on his way.

He didn't stop at the cave of Cyclops because he had nothing else to do or no food to go by. It is clearly stated in the Odyssey that the island of the Cyclops was extremely fertile and had many wild goats and other animals they could hunt and feed on. Odysseus entered the cave because he wanted to meet the people that lived there. He ignored the signs that showed the residents were non-human because he wanted to give a chance to whoever lived in that cave to show that they were more than what met the eye.

He met the land of Aeolia next. His stay in that land for one month was share knowledge with Aeolus. He told them his story, they also told him their own experiences, thus Odysseus knows about how Aeolus arranged the marriage of his children and all

He sent scouts to the land of the Laestrigonians and their city, he was though more prudent this time and assured a safe passage even if his comrades didn't follow his prudent stance this is what costed them their lives but one ship.

He shared knowledge with Circe, not only on the part of his trip that he needed to move on but also gained knowledge from her. One example is the mention of a cunning knot he learnt from her which he used later in his adventures. Small details like that.

He gained knowledge from Tiresias not only on how to break his curse but also on what happened the years he was away from his home.

He had no reason to hear the sirens! The sirens is exactly the manifestation of his trip being of cognitive nature. He wanted to hear them. He NEEDED the knowledge they provided! Removing that concept from his trip in any shape or form shows to me someone who does not understand the Odyssey (I know it is harsh to say but I feel like there is one part of the Odyssey that is so iconic like the 12 axes challenge and that is the sirens passage)

Odysseus learns in every part of his trip and uses that knowledge to future adventures. But what I also fail to see is how CONSCIOUS this knowledge-gain is. Of course he learns things accidentally too but most part of it is knowledge he chooses to acquire for himself.

Another theme that I do not see much is theme of fate and destiny. Odysseus is not some idiot who doxxed himself as most people use the overused joke. In fact his trip is so thick of plot that one way or another something would have happened to cause this wandering.

Troy was destined to stand 10 years (from the Iliad),

Odysseus was destined to go home in 20 (hence he needed extra persuasion to go to the war).

Polyphemus was prophesized before that he would have been blinded by a man named Odysseus (he just didn't know who that Odysseus would be)

but we also know that Odysseus was destined to meet Circe (Circe mentions how Hermes had warned her for the prophesized man coming to her isle. She probably was unaware on the identity of the man or how that man would arrive at her doors)

Odysseus was also cursed by Polyphemus that he would either never return or return alone without his companions and find misery at his home

The true line between fate and destiny and human will is very thin in greek mythology. However we also see that Odysseus tries repeatedly to change fate even if it is inevitable (see my analysis here). It is this human part of his that is so relatable! Also the fact that oftentimes in the joke people forget that Odysseus experienced the absolute horror in the cave of Polyphemus for days. Exhaustion and anger took the best of him as well as of course his ego being inflated that he had managed to take down such a powerful opponent. And of course the reoccurring misunderstanding that Odysseus never cared for anyone else but as I have also analyzed there that is simply not true. It is even stated in the Odyssey:

πολλὰ δ᾽ ὅ γ᾽ ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν, ἀρνύμενος ἥν τε ψυχὴν καὶ νόστον ἑταίρων.

He suffered many torments in his heart out at the sea, seeking to win his own life/soul and the return of his companions

(Translation by me)

The whole trip was always about Odysseus wishing to return them all safely home. Which is also part of his tragedy and shows why he went in so many lengths to save them etc.

I am honored that someone that likes this piece of media can still understand and even liking some of these opinions. I understand that for someone that genuinely like it might be a bit annoying or tiring but yeah I guess I love the original way too much! Hahaha! And okay I understand the songs are really catchy so it can be getting into someone's head easily but I am really delighted to hear you say that! And of course to be fair there are many things one can like about the musical for example the talent of the people related to it and their passion

However ironically that was the source of my dislike as well hehe I know it is paradoxical but when I see someone with obvious knowledge of the sources and passion for something, twist the original material to THAT degree...dunno I feel it even harder. I mean of course one does not expect it to be accurate but when I hear that and yet someone claim to adapt material I would expect of course these small details changing here and there for example adding dialogs with Poseidon (that is like a must in every adaptation minus the 1968 version I noticed...like Poseidon never interacted with Odysseus but that is something every adaptation adds!) or extra scenes with Hermes or whatever or even some of the details added. The problem is that the whole plot was twisted beyond repair, basic parts of the plot that made the plot unique and beloved were thrown out the window And BECAUSE I recognize the talent of the people involved AND seeing they had the chance as they did to make not only the Odyssey available to public but also influence more people to see it and they could do it by staying respectful to the material and yet they chose not to which increased as I said my disappointment. I was also very warm when I watched the first two sagas even if they were also inaccurate because they had exactly what I describe. So yes of course I absolutely understand why people would like it. Dang I absolutely do at least on the artistic department but the way as you brilliantly stated not only the plot but also the fandom of it has been at times it really got to me more than many things

So it is really a good change to see more people see this point of view too and I respect the fact that some people like it and yet do try to see the other view too. You are very kind for saying that!

Hahahaha dude you are asking a dangerous question! Hahahaha! I can talk about it forever! Hahaha Honestly what is there to me not to love about the Odyssey? For starters the fact that it is an ancient Greek poem, something linked to my country and my history and being loved in such a great degree and continue to inspire even almost 3000 years later, fills me with so much pride! Makes me inspired to do something similar! Like not caring if I will be a celebrity but someone see my work and admire it even if they do not know who I am...someone that can see this and continue to speak on it for generations to come... Of course many writers do the same as well like classical literature and all but for the specific one I feel so much pride!

The Odyssey arguably has everything! Romance, friendship and companionship, horror and peace, war and bloodshed and also tenderness of a family, drama and comedy, adventure and domestic life even daresay sci-fi details with the Phaeakes island that have literal robotic dogs created by Hephaestus for them. Odysseus is one of the most complicated personas in all literature history and earned that position in the hall of fame. Arguably even ancient Greeks and Romans could not handle the guy with so many different opinions that paint him from hero till villain. The same guy that held back from the battle till the proper moment and then abandoned his last escape to save Diomedes in the Iliad is now sailing to the seas. The same man that took Ismarus and slay the men and took women of it as his property and mentioning it as casually as he could was also crying his eyes out in guilt upon hearing a song about Troy and the way the city fell. The same guy that tenderly held his son and cried like a baby holding him and kissing him was also the same person that slaughtered 108 men in his palace and executed their allies in less than a day. The same guy who reigned the kingdom like a father; who embraced and kissed his slaves like equals, was also undoubtedly a strong leader and king who defended his authority with iron hand and he was ready to even slay his own brother-in-law when he defied him. The same man that held back from volunteering to face Hector in the Iliad and made sure he would be the last to be chosen, in the Odyssey he armed himself ready to face an immortal 6-headed monster all by himself. The man known for his mind and cunning and indirect ways is also known for being one of the greatest warriors known. Arguably even his age being one of the oldest kings in the Iliad and yet as Antilochus said he was also one of the fastest and more agile and one of the best in spear. The most pious and religious people to the gods, favored by one of the greatest goddesses of all, Athena, and loved by Zeus was also one of those who suffered a great deal from his hubris.

This man is the absolute perfection of contradictions in one body and the way he is portrayed by Homer especially in the Odyssey where he is the protagonist is a masterpiece of emotions. Arguably Odysseus is also one of the earliest male rape victims in literature for he was not just attempted to be raped and seduced but he had to literally sell his body once to Circe and then he was being forced by Calypso. A warrior that was absolutely powerless before the gods

The Odyssey is also a great allegory of the spread of Greeks to the Mediterranean sea before the official set of colonies and the way it provides us information on how they moved around. It is also an allegory on the dangers humans faced out in the sea, how they struggled and how the families left behind also struggled with the consequences. How the power of nature can bend someone but also how human with seer will can do incredible things Odysseus survived the impossible not because he had gods as parents or hardly any help from the gods itself with the exception of Leucothea in the last adventure and of course finally Athena to the final stage. Odysseus survived because of his seer will and his need to return home. Odysseus can be any one of us; a person who struggles every day; everything can hold us down and we might have no help or very little help from others but we must keep pushing through. The Odyssey also shows us the importance of companionship and family bonds, loyalty and trust. Odysseus didn't slay the suitors because he was a mary-sue all-powerful person. He had help from three loyal slaves (Euryclea, Eumaeus and Philoetius) and his son Telemachus. He didn't do it alone. He used the help of those who believed in him and quite frankly he faced a much less bad situation at his palace because of his wife's seer will and loyalty to not abandon the throne of Ithaca to anyone till he arrived.

The Odyssey is also about how there are many forms of strength. Penelope was not less strong than Odysseus because she didn't kill anyone with a sword. She was strong for keeping more than 100 men and several parts of the household that were betraying them with her seer will and mind. Telemachus was both a fighter and someone who tried to see the best in people and that saved his life (when he spared Theoklymenos at his return from his trip. Theoklymenos was a man who had committed murder. Telemachus chose to give him a chance and in return he received the prophecy of Theoklymenos that the suitors were planning an ambush) Odysseus also learnt forgiveness in one way when he was ready to start another bloodshed by the end of the Odyssey when the families of the suitors saught revenge but Athena stopped it, making sure both sides stopped the never-ending circle of violence. Nausicaa is an example of loving someone and yet you must respect their wishes and let them go. Telemachus is an example of self-discovery... The very realistic scenario of someone not recognizing the place they left for so long and people not recognizing you back. That you have to work yourself through the very same place you left behind! Even Telemachus as a character not even knowing what to believe anymore about the father he never met, not knowing whom to listen and whom not to etc. like a realistic scenario of absent veteran fathers who disappeared a long time ago...

Honestly...what ISN'T the Odyssey?! It is in my opinion one of the most complete pieces of literature that opens the way in many things! I am really happy you shall decide to look at it more attentively and I hope you shall enjoy it because honestly it's worth it.

(My friend I do not mind at all speaking about it. I am just not a fan so I am just asking the understanding of anyone that I am not gonna be very positive about what I mention and say. However I shall try not to be hater with no reason or logic, that I can promise to try)
