#genuinely the best dynamic idc

[crimsonsycamore]

not super happy w how this turned out but i saw this post and procreate practically opened itself. i want unhinged chay :) i want him to show that he loves those who are His just as much as they love him. and i think considering he grew up around loan sharks and shit, he’s definitely hiding a darker side to him. which came out when he stalked his way to kim’s apartment :)

[marsbotz]

i ship inhun in a way that differwnt and more swagful than anyone else btw.

[bananaanutbread]

yes i’m not in high school anymore but rewatching the vampire diaries is making me so ill about klaus and caroline

[booksandpaperss]

god catradora is so good it’s SO GOOD and I fall in love with it every time I rewatch spop. i will Never understand their haters it’s genuinely one of my favorite ships to ever ship, they have everything that makes a romance good idc. people will write aus of their faves with a fanon dynamic that catradora already has in the show (I’ve seen this. childhood best friends to enemies to lovers is where it’s at fr) bc it’s just that good. catradora haters I feel sad for you. cant enjoy an amazing sapphic ship bc catra is “too toxic” for u to handle (this is a magical princess show). it’s so good I almost can’t believe we have it. oh what a great day it is to be a lesbian 🙏

Tate McRae just released an album and I couldn’t help but think of fateful beginnings

Miss possessive: this song is so reader at city hall absolutely seething with jealousy over all these women swooning over bruce.

Means I care: I NEED a scene based off of this song. It’s so Bruce. him constantly wanting something with reader but always backing out at the last minute because he cares about her wellbeing more and thinks that’s what’s best for her???

“little too good for me second guessing. never been good at the self expression” LITERALLY BRUCE! “if overnight i up and end it, run away without a mention, go ghost, i like you the most” SO READER LEAVING GOTHAM!!!! imagine them realizing that the other feels this way?? like ok you like me the most? Bruce would absolutely cry, i can already imagine the wholesomeness yup!!

Right now I’m literally the end of ‘revolving door’ with the ‘I need a minute’ because I just had to jump around on my bed and squeal because IVE BEEN THINKING THE SAME THINGS NONSTOP !!! And literally the second I got this ask I had to screenshot my screen because I WAS LEGIT LISTENING TO THE ALBUM ON REPEATTTT AGAIN LIKEE. Tate, what are you doing here ????!!!

anyway, dopamine crashout aside (thank u for that, I needed the joy), I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND AGREE WITH YOU SO HARD !!! okay okay, bear with me, I’m about to freak out w you (doing the ‘read more’ bc it’s gonna be long LOL, reading my mind and hitting me right in my current obsessions):

Miss possessive: this has been one of the three most on-repeat off her new album for me, and YES YES YES YES when I tell you the second I heard it on Thursday I thought of them, and I keep thinking of them… envisioning scenes already there, and some yet to happen 🤭 it’s so perfect too, like the ‘acting like we’re friends’ that could happen to get closer to Bruce 🫣 this song makes me want to insert even more scenes in the future of her getting jealous in this specific, possessive way… ooooooh!! i need her to crash out a little bit on them. it’s a need at this point. but also… how could she blame them when he’s BRUCE WAYNEEE *swoon*. still, she needs to and WILL get jealous jealous 👀🤫 the part about ‘trying so hard, running ‘round trying to fuck a star’ oh I’m on the floor, I’m done, I’m cooked, this song was written with Bruce Wayne in mind, it was written for her and him, it’s canon idc, Tate McRae reads my fic now. since Bruce doesn’t drink in public, I need her to get a little tipsy and have that 1am lyric come to life PRONTO.

Means I care: you are so spot-on… ‘the second i admit i felt it too, yeah, i was gone’ if this doesn’t describe their entire dynamic up to this point… simultaneously running away from their feelings but their feelings being too strong to genuinely ignore… delicious. beautiful. show-stopping. and the blend of such destroyed self-esteem/self-concept where he thinks he’d be a curse on her… crying, your honor. and the ‘nothing that you did or could have done, no this just ain’t a fight you could’ve won’… bruce is SO STUBBORN and has remained this isolated and reclusive for the better part of his life, cracking that shell, whewww it seems impenetrable. ‘little too good got me second-guessing, never been good at the self-expression’ bruce bruce bruce bruce bruce and also reader dfkljslkfd she’s like but… but… he’s violent ?? and a weird reclusive one-percenter ?? he can’t be a genuinely amazing kind compassionate perfect man!! seeing his kindness as bribes, his softness is always super emphasized in her mind… 🥹 NOT THE GOING GHOSTTTT LFJDSLKFD she’s like dude… i literally am in love with you and i can’t stomach getting closer to you while i’m lying bc i’m so in love with you it’s eating me alive <3 <3 i’m sobbing at what you said about them realizing they like each other the most, and all their past behavior that was ‘rude’ or ‘standoffish’ or ‘flighty’ was because they were both feeling the same intense feelings for each other, i’m bawling (bruce and her are too, they both need to hear it so badly, i think it would install sunshine into both of their hearts so much they might burst)

now onto some MORE SONGS off the album i wanna talk about with them!!!! WHERE TO START

No I’m not in love: so bruce and her, it really can be from both of their perspectives, but i especially love it from her perspective. ‘no i am not in love, i’m not thinking about you, the sun’s not gonna come up and i don’t hate every girl your eyes go to’ 🤭 NEED I SAY MORE ON THAT !! the rationalization in this song, the ‘oh, no! i’m actually doing xyz because of a totally unrelated, convenient reason, not because i have any feelings whatsoever!’ sure jan. and the ‘every friend of mine, i told them the same, no i am not in love’. Mar is sitting there like… reader’s dad is like… alfred’s like… so them when they were in the denial stage. ‘i am not in love, sky has never been blue’ is so poetic to me for them because they were truly denying basic reality for a while there…….. NO LONGER !!!

It’s ok i’m ok: this is a… future song. I WILL NOT SAY MORE, READ INTO IT AS YOU WILL OR DON’T 🤭 or maybe it’s just about how he’s batman and no one knows it but her, and about him playing up the Playboy Bruce facade… ‘he ain’t just a pretty faced talker, good with his money, close to his mother, you’re seeing one-sided’ and everyone thinking he’s so perfect ooooooooooh <3 ‘ain’t nobody got me this nervous, oh, baby, i been there’. lsjfklsdflsdfsl plus some others ;)

Sports car: THIS IS SO ‘Guilty as Sin?’ CHAPTER OF THEM!!!!! especially her. she’s like ‘i want him now and i want him anywhere, i don’t care’. ‘in the alley in the back, in the center of this room, with the windows rolled down, don’t make me choose’ YUP YUP YUPPPP. down bad. down atrociously. ‘oh and maybe on the beach’ oh yes, another future thing/moment… i’m just feeding crumbs to everyone in this like taylor swift dropping hints at her upcoming albums. i could honestly quote this entire song as for how she feels about him and how desperately turned on she is by him at any given moment, so i will not write out every lyric <3 so her to Bruce. and a lil sports car… okay little rich brucie boy

2 hands: this song actually inspired the moment at the end of chapter 39 (why, why, why?) where she’s cleaning his wound, and he’s feeling her hands on his bare skin and he’s like… ‘put them back’ and she’s like ‘what’ and then he scrambles to cover up for it. he wants her hands ON HIM!!! ‘i just want your two hands on me at all times, baby. If you let go, better put ‘em right back fast’ mmhmmmmm, bruce plays this song in the car while he’s driving on the outskirts of town and he definitely knows all the words and screams the chorus and then almost crashes because his brain goes offline imagining it

Revolving door: this is sooo them!! both of them, i really can’t pin it to one perspective more than another. but also… the opening lyrics are so bruce when he outfits a random abandoned room upstairs into a theater room… ‘my cold heart is finally melting, i moved from the east to the west wing’. a past song, a present song, and DEFINITELY a future song… ‘say i couldn’t want you less, but i just want you more, and more, and more, and more, more, and more, and more…’ if that doesn’t describe the snowball effect of their feelings for each otherrrrrr !!!!! 🗣️ and the wanting to go ghost bc of the ‘means i care’ situation… ‘shut it down, that i try, then you come, come around, fuck me good, fuck me up, then i gotta move towns’ so her. and bruce with the ‘how’d i get from the gym to your couch’, like their worlds are rapidly becoming more singular as they zoom in on the other person and spending time with them, bc it’s so consuming to be around them ooooh. and the ending of the song is so future coded… ahaha… ‘i still think ‘bout that night out in Boston’ FLKSDJFKLSDLF the future scene that i’m referring to in my mind right now… y’all aren’t ready

this was likely very rambly, and my brain feels mush and i’ve been obsessively relistening to all these songs now for over an hour (like i already haven’t been since Thursday… ahaha… this album is going to be my most-listened to at the end of the year, watch), so if you made it through, you’re a real one lol. i’ve said it time and time again on here, but these asks of applying music / songs to my story / scenes and using music as any accompaniment or making any analysis of my fic with music/lyrics… it feeds me like nothing else. especially when it’s two hyperfixations at once: the new tate mcrae album i literally have been obsessing over, and my fic. match made in heaven!! so thank you thank youuuuuuu. i could go on and on with these songs, other songs, other lyrics, future scenes, past scenes, present them… just THEM… but yeah 🥹 thank you thank you!!!

please feel free to lemme know if any other songs/lyrics come to mind, any thoughts on my ramble here lol, and if you’d like me to incorporate any of my own analyses of songs into posts related to fateful !! i love pairing chapters with songs, scenes with songs, i literally have a bruce wayne playlist, reader playlist, playlists for their different eras, the big main playlist i linked in my master list, music + writing (esp fateful) = happy elle <3

[burntoaster04]

Would you like to do a smg4 shipping chart?

Otp first:

Megari: I FUCKING LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH. Platonicly or even love! They are sooo adorable! Their relationship fills me with joy and love!

Started shipping since WS, And never left that circle. Idc if they stayed friends, I want more of them!

Smg34: self explanitiory. They soo stupid and soo moronic, they actually love each other. No matter what dynamic, I love them. Shout out fot @theartistisme43 and their au!! Made me put them at S tier.

Mario x Karen: their dynamic feels like Richard and Nicole Waterson. Idc if they fight, I love being together.

Melony x saiko: basically my beloved rare pair. They soo cute together, despite not sharing any screen time. I picture how sweet their dynamic is, saiko turn into soft for her gf melon. :3

Like:

Luigi x kaizo: blame my best friend @dreamteamredstinger and red Stella from discord and Twitter. They fit soo well. I love more than Luigi x saiko. (No offense to whom you like it)

Saiko x melony x Belle: two punk girls and a deity goddess :3= perfect poly!!

Swag x Chris: basically the dynamic of: "I cause trouble." And "I stop trouble". I love them!

Found family:

Mario and melony: I hc and made an au, Mario treat and adopted melony as his daughter. He loves her soo much.

Brotp:

Mario and meggy: they are 100℅ best friends and besties. I don't like them anything out of that. Out of it? And I go to the uncomfortable category.

Saiko and tari: sorry satari fans, but they aren't lovers to me. To me they couple of close friends, and nothing else. They can be sisters to me as well. If you like them, good but me? They aren't lovers or GF, just great platonic besties. And also saiko is kind of taris mentor. Cause she taught her about wielding the katans. In my au and hc

Pass:

I genuinely DC about this ship tbh. It was kinda rushed in developing and I didn't like how a axol was treated as a full blown simp. It was not good. Sorry.

This is all. Thank you. I hope my opinion won't hurt you all in a way.

[straycalamities]

old aromantic man yells at cloud under cut AUGH

maybe its the aro, but i also genuinely think its not only aros that yearn to have a significant relationship with a "best friend" that goes into the "gray area of romance"

i quote that because it literally doesnt all have to be seen as romantic is the thing and i think people deep down understand this on some level and yearn for it

i think the only thing i truly dislike overall from romo-shipping culture (other than omegaverse existing. rage. hatred.) is that it kinda devours people just being besties or just being so signifcant to each other in a non-romantic way. but then everyone's turning to hyping up "familial" relationships made it even worse. cuz now it's like oh they're non-romantic? oohhh they must be siblings...or parent/child...

like no what if people were just friends and that was also seen as significant. or enemies. or foils. or even coworkers. and all of that be seen as significant for what it is

i feel like this is especially true in fandoms into real life ppl/celebrities/influencers/etc. i feel like that's where it actually starts to become a big frustrating problem

fiction is something else because you can simply change the rules if you want, in your head, with headcanons, but you cant (or at least you really shouldnt and im judging you if you do) headcanon real people. if they say otherwise about this, or shipping, or whatever then ok thats their prerogative, BUT then ppl take one guy (gnc) saying this to mean they have permission for every guy (gnc) and it's like ok idc if people have been doing this with real living persons for centuries, we've been doing all kindsa other jacked up shit to each other for millennia am i supposed to suddenly be okay with that too because it's always been done? 😭 idk i dont mean for this to be all about how i dont support RPF and how parasocializing and celebrity worship has fucked over everyone's brains and warped them into dehumanizing people as normal even more than all of us being so online in general has and finding every buzzword that sounds like justification they can to okay it

but it is kinda linked to my point. i dont mean this in the whole "men are scared to be best friends for fear of being seen as Gay" i mean it as "a whole shitload of people are redirecting deep non-romantic relationships into just feeding the alloromantic normativity machine and my little aro ass is getting kinda tired of it"

i mean it in "everyone keeps trying to put relationships into neat little labeled boxes that have these hard and rigid rules to them and my loves-to-appreciate-the-depth-and-variety-of-human-emotions-and-relationships" ass is even more tired of this than the other thing

even in MY shipping. yes i say "shipping" yes i draw charas kissing, hugging, dating, intimacy. but i dont always mean romantically. because i remember the era when shipping could be whatever. it just meant you liked that those characters were significant to each other. and now it's become only one kinda thing (maybe two if youre differentiating between sexual and romantic shipping or a mix of the two)

and now i wish there was a word just for what i mean 😓 (and other ppl like me) that was just...yes i like these two (or more) charas together and idc what flavor of what it is theyre doing i enjoy it. and i wish that it could also not be seen as meaning less or just being lesser than romantic shipping

IM SO TIRED OF ROMANCE OUTWEIGHING AND EVEN OVERSHADOWING EVERY OTHER RELATIONSHIP PLEASE AND IM TIRED OF THE ONLY OTHER OPTION BEING NUCLEAR FAMILY DYNAMICS

i remember when "found family" didnt mean literal Mom Dad Son Daughter shit sighs

i also just think that if we saw friendships and best-friendships as more significant it'd also help with how so many people feel so damn lonely all the time just because they're "single" or whatever. it'd also mean less ppl jump into harmful romantic relationships, ignoring all red flags, just because it means they have a relationship

if they're getting social, inter-personal fulfillment outside a romantic relationship and it's treated as significant as that is. because it IS. think about your best friend, and the relationship yall have. or past best friends. its amazing! its deep! its meaningful!

think about even just your friends even if yall arent super close and how you still smile if you meet up or see them come online or get a text from them. or that coworker at your job that you probably wouldnt hang out with outside of work but they still make your shift less torture. IDK

look at the beauty and variety of your connections with other humans and how a lot of them you dont even have a term or name for. it's just. significant.

the stranger that smiled genuinely at you when you held the door open for them while you were having the worst day of your life and, for a moment, the world wasnt so bad

you'll never see that person again, but you'll probably never forget it. and even if you forget their eyes or the color of their hair, you'll never forget how it made you feel.

that's what i'm talking about. and i feel like you shouldn't have to be an aromantic person to appreciate that kinda stuff and the world would be sooo much better for it. what if we just fuckin appreciated our fellow man yknow????? especially when all the evil powers that be in the world are trying to make us turn on each other and eat each other alive so they dont have to do as much work

[alevolpe]

Could I bother you to do a dump of your thoughts on everyone's favorite undercooked and over-punctured hero, Chiba Mamoru?

Hmm, thoughts, i have a lot of thoughts about Mamo, but at the same time, not as many as others would think.

I like him, i think most people who follow my blog know this. He’s a very nice addition to the cast despite his many.. problems.

I’ll first address the elephant in the room.. he should not be a part of the main cast fighting along the girls.

Sorry, I know some people love that for him, but for me it just doesn’t work and he doesn’t organically fit in the story after season 1. He’s basically stringed along to be just the damsel in destress to motivate Usagi in most cases and that’s not compelling for me or is a good turn for his character.(there’s nothing there, there’s no character for me to care about. Just pretty guy looks pretty, wow, I’m compelled)

He should’ve been mostly done after season 1. After that he should’ve been a supporting character helping Usagi as a regular guy trying to go back to his regular life while being a loving and supportive boyfriend to Usagi. (It’s also such a missed opportunity with this dynamic that you NEVER see. A female superhero and his bf being the normal guy trying his best to keep up with wtf is going on with his gf and magic beings while also studying for his diploma, living the life of a regular guy trying to make it through school and his job and trying his best to also be a nice and helpful person to his gf’s team/best friends. Most of whom don’t have the highest opinion of him lol).

It’s genuinely what he deserves, he doesn’t need to be stringed along this journey as a puppy for Usagi to be chase after. LET THE MAN GET HIS HUMAN LIFE BACK TOGETHER!! (And maybe some therapy) His whole existence is not just Usagi/moon romance/future bullshit, he’s his own person ffs.

Sigh.. ok with that out the way I’ve already talked about my problems with the “miracle romance” here (tldr, I wanna keep it I like it, just workshopping needed).

Now, is there a way I could possibly organically integrate him into the story as an equal and distinct identity to Usagi.. yes.. do I want to? Not really.

In short I don’t really have a ton of interest in exploring that outside of the first season. That’s where his character gets introduced, where he has the most connections, with Serenity and with the 4 kings and Beryl, that’s where his character peaks and where he deserves to have his “happy ending”. My story is mostly centered around the bond around the girls and the world around them, not romance (even tho there are moments of it, yes, it’s not mainly a romance unlike the manga). Also trying to fit him without having the girls take an active step back is really difficult and has never been executed right.

In the manga him and Usagi are the main characters and in the anime everyone is written to be useless til he shows up. You basically have to scale down everyone else for him to shine and I don’t vibe with that.

Also also, in my version he has no Crystal. People have no Crystals, just the senshi. having a Crystal in you is a strictly senshi thing, him having one never made sense to me (if you like it, good for u, I don’t care for it, idc if it’s explained in canon). So he’s just a regular guy, he’s a smart reincarnated regular guy who committed a bunch of heists and some breaking and entering, but like.. tf he gonna do against a senshi.

TLDR: I like Mamo. Mamo is good, good character, but scale him down to supporting cast and make him a more supportive boyfriend to Usagi and honestly give him more of his own person outside of his reincarnation or future self.

ALSO SMALL THING BUT actually have him interact with the girls in some way, with different and fun levels of chemistry. Like him being awkward cause he knows both him and them want the best for Usagi, but like Rei.. is Rei, Mako’s pissed at him for being a dirty thief, Mina just fucks with him 24/7 and Ami, idk I guess Ami does kind of vibe with him, but like, they are both awkward nerds. I wanna see that!

[fand0mswithbunny]

this is so different from the other posts i do but fuck it. descendants 4: rise of red review, spoilers ofc, we still boycott disney's ass, pirate this movie like uma and her crew ate the intro of this movie instead of watching this from disney+

keep reading if youve seen it or dont care about spoilers but tldr: if you havent seen it and see this as a spin off movie instead of a 4th installment, i say go watch it. its basically how i feel about the 2024 mean girls movie, im just here for certain characters, dynamics and songs, and a bit of the actual plot, its fun but definitely not for everyone, i liked parts of the movie/plots tho

okay honestly overall, despite the fucking terrible rushed ass ending, i still honestly enjoyed a lot of aspects of this movie.

songs, generally i liked. yeah its all pop-y but yk, none of them were unbearable, i loop red, whats my name (red vers.) and love aint it what about it

the editing was. a choice at times. like it will cut at the most random moments and when red was being transported and fell from that. pipe. thing in the castle it was so. disney channel editing core LIKE OKAY I KNOWW OFC IT IS but grahhhhhHH

the cg was good, direction was. also a choice at times. idk how to explain it but it felt like every scene was being directed like a music video and not like a MOVIE esp the lighting oh my god idk what it is but its so GLOWY AND WEIRDD

the characters themselves, i love the main cast, red, chloe, ella, bridget, etc. were all cool. IM A FIRM RED/CHLOE SHIPPER THEY ARE GIRLFRIENDS IDC and i also liked the dynamic they have with their past moms it was nice

oh yeah i dont mind how they wrote mal, evie, jay, and ben outta the story, i mean they gotta explain their absence yk. and i loved the carlos tribute, you can tell china was genuinely not acting in that tribute scene.

the vks were. okay. i dont mind that literally every villain/princess/disney protag goes to high school. this whole series basically feature length fanfiction anyway, idc personally about that. its weird URSULAS SISTER was the main antagonist. like i get having a completely new villain aside from the vks parents or something but. ursulas. sister??? besides you could tell me shes ursula and ill believe you.

its nice seeing filipino prince charming thats it thats all i gotta say RAHHH PHILIPPINES BABYYY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 MY MANS GOT THAT 'PINO RIZZ OKAYYY

the plot was actually fun, but yeah I WISH WE COULDVE SEEN CASTLECOMING WE WERE ROBBED OF THAT i knew when red and chloe got the book there was like 10 minutes left in the film but cmonn we couldve had Morgie, I DONT KNOW somehow freeing the rest of the vks and them STEALING THE POCKETWATCH AND RED AND CHLOE HAVING TO GET IT BACK, GET ANOTHER 30 MINUTES IN THE FILM MAYBE, ANOTHER ACTION SEQUENCE, CASTLECOMING. but its finee im sure theres a fanfiction in the works somewhere that has that exact premise because thats what fanfic is for babyyyy

imagine. during the dance chloe and red are scrambling to find the watch, they see the vks, they find bridget crying because her best friend isnt there, she thinks ella bailed on her, they have to find the watch but, they gotta make her feel better right? red comforts her while chloe chases after them to find the watch, ella comes to the dance late after deciding, fuck my stepmom, get your hands dirty parallels, something something, the four of them all stopping the vks together, THEN they travel back.

i should just write a fix it fic for this movie at this point damnn i impressed myself

but yeah the ending does leave a lot of plot holes, if bridget didnt change from the past WHO DID, if Red even CONSIDERED a VK in this timeline? if not then WHO IS IT?? IS IT CHLOE?? its hella rushed, its ass, but i guess we'll find out in the 5th movie ig

also i thought they were totally setting it up for Ella to be the one that humiliated Bridget in the past, like the "I saw through her" in Love Ain't It we NEVER GOT ANY CLOSURE FROM THAT WHAT HAPPENED?? sighhh its okay its fine

i see this movie as a spin off movie rather than a 4th installment of the universe because it pretty much is, like its basically its OWN universe with the lack of the og cast and new characters. i unofficially coin it as the "Descendants: Redverse" because it just makes more sense

so many questions, mainly WHY, but yeah, still liked it, would rewatch. certain. parts of it. but honestly? a 7/10. leaning towards a 7.5

is this a recommendation? not sure, depending on who you are you could totally love this film or hate it, i say give it a chance and completely ignore the busted ass ending <3

anyways KENDRICKKK FANFIC WRITERSSSSSS- DROP SOME MORE CHARMINGHEARTS FANFICS/D4 FIX IT FICSSS. AND MY LIFE, IS YOURRSSSS

[puhpandas]

It just feels like they’re trying to prove they’re still horror by traumatizing Cassie for the sake of traumatizing her without actually exploring the implications of it. They barely fleshed her out or developed her as a character or even explored her dynamic with Roxy and Gregory all that much. Not even a word about her and her dad lmao. Cassie wouldn’t have gone back to the Pizzaplex I’m sorry but idc how badly they try to frame it as her wanting friends or saving her dad, it’s bad writing. It’s like where do we go from here in a game? Or something that’s even narratively satisfying

Agreed that TWB stays the best interactive novel, at least I could understand what’s going on and the characters’ motives/goals actually make sense

yeah I totally agree. especially with regenant or whatever it feels like they're almost trying to meet a quota of the archetypes of fnaf, one with the horror and 2 with the new shiny robot character. idk. on one hand it feels like Scott wanted to make a new weird book about random shit but he made it be "about" ggy, which is yet another sign REAL and GOOD ggy content is on the way in the gameverse. hes been realllyyy thinking about ggy a lot. I'd genuinely bet money on the next fnaf game after sotm being a ggy centric game with all of this content

[vveris]

I genuinely cannot stand CK fans who don’t fw Demetri, especially in terms of Sekai Tekai/his friendship with Hawk

“What happened to prime Hawk?” “Demetri did not deserve his spot on Sekai Tekai” “mememememe”

Demetri shoved Hawk into a glass cabinet, and humiliated and tore down his ego on multiple occasions. Dem got pretty far into the All Valley too; is it so strange to think they’re equals?

Liking Hawk and not Demetri is odd as hell, they’re a package deal, their dynamic is the best part of their characters, idc.

[mrpristineblade]

send you a character game!

cheated lol

💕💕💕Wife💕💕💕

Coming right up, Nev, thank you 🫂💖

From this little ask game post

(Warning: genderqueer butch with ve/she/they pronouns headcanon)

Favorite thing about ver

It's how much ve cares for the input of others. With most routes ve's in, ve can appreciate and respect ver allies, even if ve doesn't outright say it. Ve'll listen to everyone and take their perspective into genuine consideration. If ve won't get treated fairly, ve sure as fuck will make sure others are, even the Vessels on some occasions. Ve care so much, he do 🥺

Least favorite thing about her

Unfortunately, that would probably be the other side of the coin. I know it is necessary to have her selfless awareness for others sometimes be blinded by her selfish desires to get herself the fairness she deserves, but it can sometimes lead her to mistrust people and try fucking them over just to escape their chance to fuck her over. She just sometimes cannot rely enough on a world that fucked her over to be kind to it in return... 😔

Favorite line

"Are you FUCKING kidding me?"

From the start of the Cage route

No one could've said it like she did. Iconic.

brOTPs and OTPs

(I mean, I'm platoniromantic and a multishipper, so I think I'm just gonna use this section to highlight some ships that i prefer, but obviously wouldn't mind if romantic implication was denied. Read into them however you like, idc.)

Wildcard. Aka Contrarian with the Cheated. They're already eachothers counterparts and man, do they sure make it fun. They both like fucking people over to benefit their goals, but once those goals conflict, they're at eachothers necks, whether with a passion or very unseriously. Still, I think them learning to get along will truly make their dynamic shine. Contrarian shows Cheated ways to take hardships with more positivity and light, while Cheated will NOT let any hurtful jab at Contrarian slide, no matter how much Contrarian has made it a habit of letting insults go and laughing it off to "keep the peace".

Bored Games. Aka Cold with Cheated. This one's just mainly due to their dynamic in their respective Wraith route. They both wanted to just get the job done and move on. And the moment anything stands in their way, they're going plotting. And I always see Cheated as one of the voices that would be most entertaining for Cold to interact with. Whether Cheated gets Cold to where he wants to go or not, it is always an adventure with the guy. Full of twists and turns that you wouldn't think a person would ever be unlucky enough to experience. Well, not Cheated. But they do eventually want to just move on and that may be where their bond truly gets close. Once again, they're the plotters. They only have to give eachother a nod or a signal word and they're ready to go. With eachother, they do not need to wait or hesitate or take any ulterior motives into account when deciding. They're just gonna pick a strategy and figure it out from there. It's comfortable, it's easy, it can even feel safe.

Bonus ot3: The Gamer Trio. Contrarian/Cold/Cheated. Cheated and his two best bros sitting on the bed, leaning against eachother or getting entangled in eachother as they have fun for an afternoon, gaming on one of many consoles with games they've saved up for collected together. Do you see my vision???

And lastly, my personal imaginary poly marriage, but also my favorite vessel/voice ship of all time, Cheated/Wraith. Yes, Cheated does encourage us to fuck her over in the game. But if they were to bond outside of the cycle of violence? Damn it, they'd get eachother like no other. Both striving for an escape from this trap they've been put in, a trap that has damaged them beyond who they used to be (Princess and Hero). And they will use all of the spite they can muster to get themselves where they need to be, no matter how many times they get beat down. They're both survivors who will take as much control as it takes to win over any unfair advantages the game will throw at them. And they find comfort in eachothers strengths, yet also in their emotion. They're both eachothers shields and shoulders to cry on. They feel so tired by the weight of the world, but they won't have to carry it alone anymore. They'll have eachothers backs like no other. If there's anything they can rely on, it's their bond.

nOTP

Just like with any Voice, I do not feel comfortable shipping ver with the Shifting Mound. I don't know why, especially when I've been coming to understand and appreciate her more, but it's just not for me. Sorry 😅

Random headcanon

She once introduced a swear board to the post-Construct Voices household, because they kept making fun of her for having sailor's tongue. So she found a way to teach them a lesson! Any time someone catches someone else swearing, they put a point on the board under their name. And it turns out it ain't so fun to constantly keep track of whoever swears or get laughed at when you're the foul mouth of the week and Cheated takes full satisfaction in seeing your shame.

In general, Cheated always finds the most creative ways to get back at people for shit she didn't deserve from them and they always come apologizing to her in the end. You mess with Cheated, she messes with you, simple as that.

Unpopular opinion

Just the usual: people in the fandom grab only three traits of them and make that their whole personality:

Rage gamer

Loudmouth that swears a lot

Every unlucky thing possible always happens to them

Yes, these three are recognizable traits of them, but if this is all you're going with in terms of characterization, of course he's gonna come across as boring or not notable, like I've seen some claim. Play around with these traits, look back on certain routes of theirs for more details of them to note, just PLEASE do more research on Cheated. They have lots of potential to write or make jokes with as a character, but do the work first to get to know them before diving into the 100th "Lol, something went wrong for them and they grumble about it" moment as your next punchline.

Song I associate with ver

Idc how lazy of a pick this is, I'm not good with picking out songs for characters, so just take it please 😭

Favorite picture of her

This one just... enamours me. It's such a random one too, but idk... I think Cheated figuring out just how cool she looks with an eyepatch and basking in it. Also taking what must be a very traumatic and aggravating loss of her eye and turning it into a positive. My darling wife completely in her element 🥹💕💕

before I say this… NEJI is fine 🙏 idc what people say and second, how do you feel about nejiten? Honestly I heard some ppl say how ten ten is Aromantic? Plus me personally I really can’t see them two together, like tbh they look kinda cute but I can’t see it?

also I hate how sakura fans get mad when Karin is shipped with sasuke or even vise versa and always bring up that moment what she tried supposedly “r4pe” sasuke and says stuff like “free him” like I don’t get it like yes even what she tried was wrong but hating her whole character over that?! But when sakura gets shipped with other characters even ones outside the Naruto fandom it’s not a problem?

also ppl kinda do the same thing for shion from that one Naruto movie when hinata AND sakura fans hate on her for “trying to be like hinata” just bc she has similar hair and eye color and even gotten a bit shy around Naruto ONE TIME and that was only when she was opening up to him? But the excuse for hating her is bc “she body shamed sakura” so if she did then where does hinata get involved?

they also clown shion just bc she asked him to start a family with her to continue the bloodline so she could pass down her power or wtv? Like huh?! Make it make sense. And idk if it’s satire and they be joking but some Karin and shion fans be saying for sarada and boruto is their kids?

To me Neji and Tenten is the go to ship for the two. Out of the dynamics with opposite gender I feel the only working ship we could have for them is each other.

They are hypocrites forgetting how Sakura wanted to watch Sasuke pee in part 1. Also Karin could never actually force herself on Sasuke she would have tried to seduce him at best. Plus unlike Sakura its proven Karin as a genuine reason for liking Sasuke and that she truly cares for him as a person.

Sakura fans use her as a self insert to them Naruto and any other character is a trophy to make Sakura look better. As where shipping Sasuke or Naruto with anyone else is hated by them cause they are insecure and know deep down Sakura is not that good of a character.

Its the same reason why they tend to hate the heroines in moves since they usually like or fall for Naruto and end up with better dynamics with him then what Sakura has. Even filler characters are better off with Naruto then him being with Sakura which puts a target on their backs for Sakura fans.

honestly i love mcc i love competitive minecraft but the game just isn’t fun for anyone anymore. lots of players have dropped out are talking of dropping out or go on stream saying things like ‘this is the first mcc i’ve actually enjoyed in a while’ . like. thats not the sign that an event is successful . and i don’t really think that’s scott’s or the developers faults but it’s more so the culture around mcc that has changed drastically in the past year or so.

when i first started watching it, mcc was about cc’s learning to work together and competing in a fun event where there was no real stakes except the winners got a fun little token. mccs rise in popularity has snowballed a little to develop this culture of expectancy . as with all fanbases, some fans become a little too engrossed in the content and become a little overbearing about it creating this toxic culture of criticism under the guise of analysis . this isn’t to say that all mcc analysts are toxic or that the concept of vod reviewing and analysing a players performance is bad- but the attitude that a lot of the more vocal fans have been taking towards this has been .mm . not the best .

forcing players into rigid boxes based on their performance records and dogpiling them if they undeperform or over glorifying a players for performing above their average etc, it creates a competitive culture amongst fans trying to prove who suppprts the better player . very much ‘my dad is stronger than your dad’ kind of vibe.

this whole attitude also makes it less enjoyable for the players who may now feel a lot of pressure to conform to the expectations of their fans- of course everyone tries their best every event but if someone’s having a bad performance they’re more likely to experience genuine discomfort and self confidence issues continuing in the event because they know what people are expecting of them . even for lower ranking players it can affect self confidence because nobody expects anything of them .

its marketed deeply throughout the fandom as a for fun event with people who are naturally competitive being shunned for their competitive attitude but logging online and seeing people hating some people winning, hating on other teams for knocking their team out of top 2, refusing to congratulate the winners, even complaining over and over again that some aspects of the event like pvp and parkour are unfair to their streamer because their streamer ain’t good at them to the point where pvp and parkour games had their coin distribution rules changed . that doesn’t scream for fun behaviour .

that’s another thing . random changes to games that don’t necessarily need to be changed . the buildmart changes were good it make it easier to navigate and allowed people to move between sections faster and featured some new builds, the sky battle coin distribution prioritising the amount of time you survive over kills actually undermines the point of the game as a pvp heavy event . instead of fighting people you can get away with playing more defensively . we already have survival games for survivability . same goes for remixes i don’t think they typically go down well . some might but majority don’t tend to have a good reception .

even within the players themselves, there’s because quite a cliquey kind of dynamic where if the team with the most support doesn’t win, the winners are not congratulated. take last night for example . ponk and gumi scored their first wins, ponk being the first black person and as far as i can remember gumi being the second woc and first asian woman to win an mcc . let’s not even get into the diversity of mcc right now but only two people came into the voice call which lasted a while after the event to congratulate the team, only sylvee and scott and a few replies on twitter . ‘oh but the captain’ idc . i love him too but he didn’t win and it was a big day for the team that did with 50% of the team getting their first win and they played really well together. looking again at fan behaviour towards creators some players have felt unwelcome by the pressure of the competitive dynamic called bad sports for being upset with their own underperforming and alienated by the community for having multiple wins or because they just don’t want them in the event . that doesn’t scream for fun . and that in itself is really bad sportsmanship .

i think overall what started to kill mcc was it’s pandering really. i’ve fully done research on how scott puts together teams before but i still believe a lot of what goes into a team is how well it will be received. it doesn’t really force creators to get to know each other and work with each other it just takes groups of people who already know each other have relationships with each other and have relationships that are recognisable to the fanbase . this doesn’t allow people to meet and find new creators they might enjoy to watch and it prioritises some teams as the Ones To Watch because of certain dynamics pres t which undermines any smaller creators trying to make their way into the event . the insistence on changing games based on viewer complaints as opposed to suggestions from players themselves on how things can be improved is just odd to me too .

idk man mcc just isn’t what it used to be and a lot of people are becoming way too entitled over what they want to see there

NFL Tiers

@cazluvsu and @chasedeys did one, so i wanted to do one (and didn't want to do the stuff i actually should do lol)

it gets longggg

omg it's my team!

BENGALS (!!!): what it sounds like. they're my pookies <3. the team i hyperventilate over and has already shaved a few years off my life. ja'marr chase, my fav, an icon. won the fucking triple crown, opoy idc idc! joe! my mf qb and i'll defend him with my life. teeeeeee! god it's gonna kill me if the fo manages to fumble him. and trey! the lone bright spot in our defense, ahh, he tried his best! chase brown! heal fast and hopefully we grab another rb to split the workload. yoshi! great year for him, hopefully he keeps on improving! mims <3 <3 <3 and orlando! bright spots for the o-line! i think karras also had a really good year (just need to work on our guards...) jordan battle... i'm really sorry, but i cannot forgot that dropped defensive td. it's funny in hindsight, but i think my watch sent me a few warnings over my heartbeat at that time. i really hope cam bounce back next year! he was on an upward trend at the final five-game win streak! there's more that i'm forgetting, but i should probably stop here lol.

i'm so very fond of you

Vikings: oh Justin, genuinely pains my heart that minnesota sports team seem to have a curse upon them. justin deserves a playoff win! also never will i ever shut up about jjmarr and their specific brand of insanity. i really enjoy tell us with metullus and their defensive cellies were 🔥. camryn bynum copying the australian break dancer was gold. special mentions: white chicks, camp rock, parent trap, and high school musical! i also love watching jordan addison! hopefully jj mccarthy works out for them Lions: i love so many people! ah amon-ra! i loved his upside down celebration so much. sonic and knuckles, the nickname is so cute, i can't get over it. i love love love the dynamic of both people being Very Good at their positions, but Choosing to stay together on the same team (cough cough jayson tatum and jaylen brown). helplessly fond of jamo lol. the touchdown celebration was deserving of a fine, but like. it was hilarious. also dj reader! oh and i'm insanely jealous that they like. randomly picked up jake bates from the xfl who is turning to be one of the best kickers in the nfl. i was really sad when aidan hutchinson got hurt. hopefully next year, they'll have better injury luck. Commanders: jayden, jayden, jayden! oh, rookie of the fucking century. he will come back next year, i believe deep in my heart! and the moment that terry realized they won the bucs game, ahhhh, that was sooo sweet. finally experienced some postseason success after Decades of Torture. also i'll never be able to think of frankie luvu without That Moment. Bills: 0-4 in sbs and 0-4 against the chiefs, ah, the Curse narrative pulls me in. also my brother's a bills fan. josh deserves a SB idc idc. love james cook (even if i think he should cut his hair, i've seen so many defenders try to take him down by pulling on it). kincaid, it was not on you and you! will! bounce! back! i also root heavily for keon coleman! yet another louisiana boy! and i will forever root for damar!

your storylines intrigue me...

Texans: ooh cj! if you've been following my tags, you know i'm completely obsessed with jayden/cj (and jayden/cj/bryce) and IE shit. he seems worse than the clips i saw of last year, but how much of that is on the o-line and the horrific wr injuries? i want to see him bounce back next year! and poor tank dell. prayers 🙏. i think stefon's a free agent? it'd be interesting if he stays or. not. i also love nico! hopefully next year all the wrs will stay healthy! great to see joe mix thriving! and derek stingley ahhh! i really hope we see him and ja'marr interacting in the pro bowl! Panthers: ooh bryce! that video of him turning around before the td was caught, like steph curry's look-away threes -i loved that so fucking much. also as said above, this trio of cali qbs has my hearttt. the Narrative that when cj loses, bryce wins... oh that. the angst potential. and omg, xavier legette. he did an interview with a european reporter who def had no clue what xavier was talking about. ah, his thick southern accent <3. i also saw a video where he skinned a squirrel to eat it (yes you read that right) and like. what. Jaguars: go BTJ! been obsessed with their head coach debacle, hopefully it works out for liam coen lol. also duval is objectively an awesome chant Giants: go Malik! i do hope they find a qb... Ravens: divisional rival but alas i do find their players intriguing 😔. lamar <3. so fucking good which is. unfortunate when we play them. but fun to watch against other teams. watching derrick henry run never gets old! he just never! ever! goes down! which also, fuck this division -four of the opoy candidates (lamar, derrick, joe, and ja'marr) are from the afc north. i'm getting pulled into marlon humphrey's twitter. if there was anyone who could give ja'marr a run for his money as 'chiefs greatest hater', it would be marlon. also kyle <3. also very funny. who else... ooh zay! best wishes for a speedy recovery! Cowboys: really CeeDee is too pretty for that franchise. i suppose i also like micah too (is this a safe space to admit that i like ceedee/micah?)

I have history with you

Packers: dad's a fan and rants about christian watson's drops. i made a birthday card with a packers helmet one year 🙂. i'm also a fan of Weight of the Franchise narratives, and honestly it has to be hard for Jordan Love, with the legacy of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers (both of whom I Hate for different reasons but were. objectively. good at football). and Josh Jacobs 😤. very unpopular opinion probably and i'm probably evil for this but jaire griddying in front of justin... sparked some thoughts in me ngl... Niners: mom's a fan and I like fred. also i feel soooo bad for them this year. like it wasn't just injuries and whatever tf that campbell thing was, but some players lost CHILDREN. a player got fucking shot. a year from hell fr. Falcons: in fifth grade we had to choose a football team for -actually i forgot why. learning more about different states i think, being like. 10. i wanted the dolphins, got the falcons instead. i remember watching the falcons-patriots superbowl and when the falcons choked, well 🙃. i have a weird relationship with the falcons bc of that. i do think their socmed team is funny as hell. also jessie! keep on balling! Patriots: the Venn diagram of celtics and patriots fan is practically a circle so I see a lot of grousing of the state of the patriots o-line. do i think drake maye is the Savior? no, the patriots are kinda shit. but for their sake, i pray he won't be the next mac jones. i'll admit that i'm impressed by christian gonzalez. also sometimes it's fun to cheer for a team that has no real expectations.

I don't mind you

Saints: their cap situation is hell, omfg (my worst trait is that i take a sadistic pleasure in teams doing worse than my team). not on the team anymore, but lattimore-evans 😮‍💨 (hate sex. i'm thinking of hate sex). i thought the 'no murder in nola' for the two weeks the saints were winning, was very funny. Jets: that garrett wilson catch was insanity. the davante-rodgers storyline Intrigues me in so many ways. going to a loser franchise just to reunite with your ex qb... other than that and being amused by their inability to make the playoffs, i don't really have strong feelings on them. oh sauce, i suppose. he's funny! had a bit of a down year, hopefully he bounces back! Raiders: just looked up and remembered the black friday debacle ughhhh. we'll see if tom brady can save this franchise. afc west needs to become more competitive! i almosttt forgot about brock bowers but holy fuck, what a rookie season from him Bucs: again lattimore-evans... just 😮‍💨. also good on mike for getting his 1000 yds again! Titans: brian callahan good luck selecting a qb from this bunch. i also do root for tyler and chido! Dolphins: not fond of them on the mere fact that they're from florida (fuck the h***) but i don't hate them. i am so looking forward to the drama of tyreek trying to force his way out. also, their streak of not being able to win a playoff game is very funny, just like the jets being unable to get into the playoffs. fail once, fail twice, keep on failing (again, i take sadistic pleasure in seeing other teams struggle). i'm also fond of waddle from that youtube series with ja'marr and najee. Chargers: not the biggest justin herbert fan (ducks behind a wall). i do root for kristian fulton! and ladd mcconkey! Rams: i love saying puka nacua! and i am. so jealous of their d-line omg. aaron donald retired and look at them, fuck i want that for my team. Colts: anthony richardson saying he was tired was kinda crazy ngl. that's literally the only thing i can remember about them. that and drew locks legacy win against them. Seahawks: continuously baffled that geno's cousin is actually jeremiah love. genetics man. oh also! i like charbonnet. no reason, i just perk up when the announcers say his name! Cardinals: no one ever mentions them and for good reason. just as dysfunctional as the titans, raiders, and saints, but no one cares about them enough to bash them for it. i find that funny ngl. they're like the kid who sits in the back of the class and does nothing!

I hope you get relegated

Steelers: ugh, bumblebees. something about the yellow and black triggers something in me. i blame it on the divisional rival bs. sheer annoyances i can't stand to watch them. can't believe we let russell wilson drop 44 on us. 44. i do like najee (again bc of youtube series). i want to study george pickens like a bug. Bears: it gives me joy when i see another team doing worse than mine, but why the bears you may ask? one of those corners said shit about jayson tatum being benched in the olympics and in the following weeks, their field goal got blocked by the packers, vikings won in OT, and the infamous thanksgiving debacle. who said karma doesn't exist 😇. i do wish the best for caleb (those assholes making fun of him for painting his nails 😡)... hopefully next year, he just stops holding the ball so long... Broncos: no excuse for this one. i just get annoyed by them. also jayden is roty, get outta here with bo nix (that was mean, bo nix had a good season, just jayden has a historically great season). also the broncos game was so damn stressful i hold a grudge just because of it. we may have won that game but i nearly collapsed to my knees in public. i do like ps2, i admit.

I hate your fans

Eagles: I'm fond of a fair bit of their players actually! Saquon SB MVP is veryyy compelling to me. smtg about saying🖕to your shitty organization and then showing them how they fumbled you by winning a damn SB... idk what Jalen Hurts ever did to deserve the amount of hate i've seen. like yeah, he's not that good, but he's not that bad. i thought it was very funny that AJ was reading in the middle of a game and I saw a clip about his suicidal thoughts that fucked me over. I was crying. I find it hilarious how cooper dejean is one of the only white cornerbacks like. ever. Like the Rams d-line, i am very jealous of their o-line. Really, the Eagles could've been put in the Intriguing group -however their fans suck. Was watching the Commanders-Eagles game beatdown and there were some Eagles fans and I stfg I have never been so annoyed in my life. They get their own category.

i'm a human with morals

fuck deshaun watson

there exists a special place in hell for you

as always fuck the chiefs

[crystalverse-project]

shameless danaurus art dump and ramble

sooo last april/may i did a personal 30 day shipping art challenge with the main pairing in my crystalverse au, dan/trayaurus

here's my best ones (my art style has shifted since then)

holding hands

cuddling

wearing each others clothes

different clothing style (dark academia!)

kissing ><

sleeping together

cooking/baking (cupcakes!)

and the appreciation

this is my comfort ship. and i might be the only one doing art of it. i know i was the first person to tag it on ao3 (if you go onto DanTDM/Dr. Trayaurus you'll see my one tagged fic lmao) (there was the same one but tagged as past on a shitpost so i'm the first to put it as current)

i nearly didn't post this on tumblr because all the posts i found for it were like 'no this is weird' but i couldn't help it.

i'm ngl i'm surprised it's not bigger than it is. i get dan is married irl (and now has kids) but he got shipped with stampy in mcsm, maxo in qsmp, so yeah why not trayaurus

(if one of the why nots is because of something he did in a fake video, fuck that.)

i feel like their dynamic has changed in the new dan and tray series. they don't seem to like or support each other as much, or at least trayaurus doesn't to dan. it's fine, but it's a shame. i do think they genuinely like each other.

i don't know how many people have read the graphic novel but the way they were interacting in that book as just scientist and assistant supporting each other (with occassional pranks and sillies between them) is what i love to see. i eat it up.

idc if this seems cringe. i love them. i think they're adorable and i love drawing them being happy and silly and hugging and breaking the laws of the universe and sitting together watching the sunset and taking grim on walks together in the desert.

i adore them
