[lunar-proxy]

oh yeah, this fandoms active here isn't it

(second half of season 4 spoiler below)

can he be given a break from constant trauma now

[n3ptoonz]

BEGGING you to make more sub mk men content 😭 they're always dom in all the other hc's and it's refreshing to see something that's my cup of tea lol

oh? like this? throws this post behind me like a bouquet toss earthrealm guys here

mk1 hcs: how the outworld guys react to you riding them

y'all sure do love headcanons LMFAOO

i always try my best for most of the outworld cast cause i'm truly an earthrealm girly, but i got yall. yall really challenge me 😵‍💫

Shang Tsung

This sly mf. He thought when you suggested riding, he'd be the one watching you writhe, but it's quite the opposite. Little did you know it was all an act. A fib; fairytale. He wants power, of course, but in the bedroom it's entirely different

Nothing will get him to submit fast than treating him like a common harlot. He's in desperate need of hair pulling, degradation, maybe even act like you're trying to kill him. He's into that shit! He's an aggressive man, so he should be treated as such

I'm talking fully dog this man out while you ride him. It'll drive him mad and make him crave it. Hell, slap him around and call him names and his gasps, groans, and deep whimpers will clear the air in no time! If you add small weapons to the mix or like a role play thing it's ON

He's literally the meme "don't bully me i'll cum" so do with that what you will!

Rain

Rain sexy ass...OOF. That smug "i am a demigod" attitude is punted out the window when you ride him. One single stroke of his hair and a caress of the jaw and just like that he's a slut!

Give him praises. He wouldn't handle degradation too well. On the outside he appears to have his shit together and doesn't have a care in the world about anybody else but his studies (and you), but he likes to be taken care of

If you want to be rougher or if he asks you to, really just pull his hair/give him love bites. idk it might just be me but i just wanna bite him sooo we're gonna say he likes bites! He's also super handsy but mostly when he's close

He's not very vocal but when he is i can see him as the kinda man that like...purrs, if that makes sense? If it don't i say he's a grunter and from groan city: population him

Reiko

Reiko has a hard time being submissive, but you just make it a little easier for him. You kinda have to coax him into it before every time you get intimate because he's made it clear he can do both and wants to try submitting more to the person he loves

It was your suggestion after a long time away for a mission. Poor dude was stressed da hell out! He's like Rain, a sucker for praise. Now that i'm really picturing it he'd prob be down to smother his face into your chest cause like, that's hot to him

When he's feeling particularly spicy definitely tie him down so he can't pull free no matter how much brute strength he uses. Hold his face and never break eye contact, he's all yours! If you call him any name that has the word "strong" in it he's like puddy in your hands

Prime grunt man here. He ain't whimpering unless you deny him of something, even then it goes from a coarse tone to soft

General Shao

Siiggghhhh 🙄 Shao likes the riding position the most. That's all thanks for coming to my Ted talk

LOL JUST KIDDING😹 He would appear like he's incapable of submission but like, this is YOU we're talking about. And he'd do anything for you. Literally.

A little birdy told me he loves when you grab his horns. Grab his horns. Grab them and make him look at you. This unbreakable wall of man yearns to be conquered by someone like you. Someone who dared to challenge him and never back down? By the Gods he has a breeding knk whether you can have kids or not. oh yeah, he'd beg. plead. he's gasping for air like pls just don't stop riding him LMAO he needs his mind off taking the throne for a few hours

whimpering little bitch which eventually turn into growls and grunts. takes a bow

Reptile

Syzoth is so subby I literally cannot picture him dominating a soul. Ashrah got that man on hold fr but anyway this about you

Typa dude to tear up when you ride him. You just look so damn good, and you make him feel so damn good. Dizzy eyes that he can barely keep open; I feel like he'd go brain numb from how fast he feels pleasure

I'm talking like because he's not originally human he's more sensitive. Now hear me out guys...two dicks....AHEM. DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!! Both his dicks are very sensitive OHHHHHHHHH Reduce him to a sobbing, stuttering, gasping, mess. He needs it, wants it, loves it. It's up to you if you'd ride him in his og form ya nasty. He'd also have a tendency to leave bite marks on you like your chest, neck, and shoulders

Mister whimper over here there's nothing else he does but whimper and cry jesus almighty somebody give this man a HUG (hug him while you fuck him dumb/busts)

Havik

Banging my head against the wall rn lemme tap in...ok we here let's go.

Another kombatant who peruses power, but also very much attracted to it. He definitely likes to be dominated. He'd be into some real kinky shit too i know it. Literally all the above he don't wanna think about SHIT

He would thoroughly enjoy being completely helpless at your disposal as you ride him. He likes degradation more than praises but if you do give him the kind of praise that inflates his already massive ego. shoot down his arrogance while also maintaining it he fucking lives for it. he likes being choked or slapped too keep that in mind

This bitch growls and that's it. bro ain't got the lips to really make different sounds LMAO?? get yo fuckin dog bitch!!!

Baraka

You might be insane but we love that haha...! Monster fucker certificate checked at the door i understand i do

Absolutely no degradation here DO NOT!! Mf might start crying or give a monologue either way, steer clear. Be nice to him!!

He likes to be held, and he likes holding his partner. If this was confident Baraka from the previous timeline I'd say he likes fast and crazy over slow and romantic but that's not the case. Be immersed and in the moment with him, he clings onto the human interactions he got stripped from him 😞

Growls but that's mostly bc he deadass don't have lips either LMFAO😭

a/n: tearing my skin off rn I DID IT GUYS I DID IT TELL ME IM GREAT😎author likes praise too.

[blue-blues-world]

kung lao

- works at a cafe store in a popular shopping center with raiden (jr.)

- pretty good at customer connections, primarily with the older ladies lol, older men don’t rlly like him

- barista, tried and got promoted to shift lead but demoted himself after the first week, thought it was too much work lol

- godly on bar, loves cold bar

- mf stays arguing with rude customers

- always puts his music on the in-store speakers

- it’s all 2010s club music

- most unserious person in the planet

- liu kang wrote him up once and all he said was ‘aight shawty damn’

- literally gives no fucks

- barista trainer, at first he only chose to do it for the bonus pay, but realized he really likes teaching the newbies plus he’s really good at it so he’s stuck to it

- bro is always filming tik toks at work that should definitely get him fired but he’s too good of a worker to be let go

- i can imagine him making parody videos making fun of that joboi dude, like bruh wtf is a griddy frappucino

- he usually gets a grande cold brew with a splash of sweet cream and three pumps toffee nut, but loves a good peach green tea lemonade too

raiden (jr.)

- was also a barista, but offered to promote to shift lead after kung lao quit and got the job almost instantaneously

- gets along with everyone, almost none of the customers give him trouble, and honestly how could they?

- elders love him, children love him, older women love him, teenage girls love him, he’s very well loved

- pretty well-rounded and is great on all positions, but front and warming is his strength

- constantly meal violating because he’s always scheduled for mid-shift and he works at a high volume store that gets most of the rush in the afternoons, so he’s always stepping in to help even if he’s on break

- someone please make this man eat his lunch

- always makes sure the floor is prefect before passing it on to the next shift, best believe he’ll have ovens done, floors done, cards done, ice bins done, lobby checked, stations restocked, all the other shifts are resisting the urge to kiss him on the mouth after they transition with each other

- doesn’t bend the rules too much

- that being said, he refuses to throw out the food at the end of the night. he won't tell you to take anything, but will definitely turn a blind eye

- wiping down the counters for his partners on the floor when it’s really busy is his love language

- bro eats like an old man, he’s constantly marking out oatmeal for every break, he’s like 15% oatmeal now

- he drinks the brewed coffee??? with cream and two splendas if he’s feeling sweet?????? not even an iced espresso, straight up pike. mf is an old soul fr, kung lao can’t stand it

- only exception is when he sometimes gets a tall iced matcha with coconut milk

- he was raised by his grandfather (raiden sr.), who is also his namesake

- loves his grandpa so much, it’s actually so endearing

- definitely could become an ASM if he wanted to, but he prefers being a shift since he’s still figuring himself out

liu kang

- he’s the store manager lol

- was offered to promote but chose not to, too much responsibility and he saw how disconnected district managers are from their baristas, and prefers working with them more closely

- is fed up with kung lao’s shit but can’t bring himself to fire him

- someone ordered the griddy frappucino once when he was on register, nearly short circuited

- constantly working on his dissertation, how he’s even pursuing an education and being such a good SM at once is beyond anyone’s understanding

- when asked how, he just says he meditates, which is not the advice most people expect or really want if we’re being honest

- super patient with his coworkers, and usually lets the petty stuff go

- wearing something slightly out of dress code? as long as it’s not a health code violation he doesn’t give a shit. got an apron pin that isn’t starbucks-approved? as long as it doesn’t have any profanity he couldn’t care less

- always has his trademark calm demeanor, but the only people who have ever managed to make him crack are kung lao (duh), johnny cage (double duh), and shang tsung (triple quadruple duh)

- His main drink is a trenta iced passion tea with no water and three splendas, or a tall cold brew with two pumps of sugar free vanilla, a packet of stevias, and a splash of coconut milk, usually enjoys it with a spinach feta wrap

- very healthy very granola indeed

shang tsung:

- is that regular that only ever seems to come in to give the baristas a hard time

- places orders that make the sticker the length of a novel and it changes every time

- it only gets worse when liu kang is on bar

- “may i have a trenta iced coffee blended with extra water, extra ice, twelve pumps of caramel, twelve pumps of classic, extra soy milk, extra coconut milk, extra almond milk, vanilla sweet cold foam, chocolate cream cold foam, matcha cold foam, and two splenda packets”

- no amount of meditative breathing can stop liu kang from nearly popping a vein every time he comes in

- he never even drinks the shit he orders

- always sends it back even if he didn’t even take a single sip

- throws it in the trash on the way out the door and makes sure everyone sees him do it

- what even is his drink order??

- sometimes comes into the store in costume pretending to be someone else (it’s obviously him)

- the ultimate grinch but just for liu kang

- comes in on christmas every year and hands everyone envelopes with their names on them, everyone’s envelope has $50 in it while liu kang’s envelope only has a dollar

- just an overall menace

- apparently was liu kang’s biochemistry professor his sophomore year of college, the beef has been going on since then

- when will it ever end? how did it even start? no one knows

johnny cage:

- doesn’t work at starbies either, instead he’s an ex-actor and entertainment business mogul that stops by before his meetings

- always stopping in cause he gets bored

- even chats it up w/ the regulars every now and then, usually kenshi

- speaking of kenshi, they were best friends in high school and college and have kept in touch since

- it’s also worth mentioning they were both total losers in high school

- they also were in a band together in their college years

- at first, partners at this store thought he was kind of obnoxious, liu kang included, but he won them over when he almost got in an argument with shang tsung in the parking lot and punched him

- no one made themselves an official witness but everyone talked about it

- gets a venti iced americano with two pumps of hazelnut and cream

Ashrah:

- she’s so sweet y’all

- an ASM at Kitana’s location

- pretty straight edge

- gets along well with everyone on the team and often is in charge of coordinating holiday parties, store meetings, and activities

- is very passionate in the whole community outreach thing, and has won the award for it multiple times

- comes from a rough background, so she applied at starbucks specifically for their free college program with Arizona State

- basically corporate’s employee wet dream

- that doesn’t mean she’s totally okay with the way they handle things, and sometimes bickers with kitana over how the store should be run

- hates hates HATES the forced connections thing, she believes conversation and interest in others should be genuine, not a sales tactic

- usually gets a grande iced black tea with strawberry açaí base, or a hot mocha with oatmilk

kitana:

- works as a store manager for a drive-thru location near a high school, but serves as a proxy for liu kang’s store

- rules that place with an iron fist, most of the baristas are scared of her

- but that usually goes away when they realize she’s a massive dork

- she pulled into the drive thru in a naruto t-shirt and hello kitty pajama pants once on one of her off-days and the illusion was shattered for everyone

- plays k-pop over the speakers and insists it’s a starbucks playlist (it’s not)

- girl is always stressed and always tired, doesn’t know how liu kang is still sane

- loves unpacking the carson order, it’s a nice getaway from the pressure of drive times and connection scores, plus she gets first dibs on any cute cups

- speaking of, she’s a chronic cup hoarder, it doesn’t matter if the cup is ugly, she still wants it

- almost cried when raspberry was discontinued

- gets an iced quad espresso with two pumps of vanilla and a splash of soy in a venti cup

mileena:

- also an SM for a different drive-thru location next to a grocery store, her and kitana are almost like day and night

- tanya is her asm, but they’re dating so she’s in the process of transferring to another location

- tried keeping it under wraps but truthfully they’re fooling no one

- girl is really just there for the vibes

- she would be bordering on terrible manager if she didn’t let her partners have fun

- wanna put your music on the speakers? go ahead but if she thinks your music sucks she’ll make you do a trash run

- forgot to request a specific day off three weeks ahead? you’re good, she hasn’t even made the schedule for that week yet lol

- are you batching frappucinos? thank fuck, she’s really trying to get those drive times down

- someone being a dick? let her know so she can argue with them lol

- whatever you do tho, keep those connections scores up. it’s the one thing she really gives a shit about

- her store is a high theft store, so she’s been doing her best to keep the store and her partners safe, but is always super paranoid when she works a closing shift

- trying to reach her phone on a day off is borderline impossible unless the store is being robbed or someone is dying, bi-han is her proxy but he’s not very friendly either so you’re fucked either way

- was also devastated when raspberry was discontinued

- gets a grande iced chai with oatmilk, two pumps of hazelnut, and strawberry cold foam, she’ll add on a couple blonde shots if she’s working an early shift

sindel:

- she’s the DM, it used to be kronika but she was fired for reasons no one will disclose

- vast improvement, let me tell you

- goes harder on both milleena and kitana, she refuses to let her daughters benefit from nepotism

- admires liu kang greatly, and was very disappointed when he rejected an offer to become a DM at a different district

- venti iced americano with 3 splendas and soy milk

- scary but nice

raiden sr.

- y’all know i couldn’t leave him out

- he wasn’t really in the new game but he’s too important

- doesn’t work at starbies at all, but is one of liu kang’s professors in college

- he is very fond of liu kang, they work closely together on his dissertation

- stops in every morning to see his grandson and his student, usually gets a black coffee or an earl grey tea

- is constantly scolding kung lao, he considers him a second grandchild and unfortunately that manifests in constant nagging

- loves his grandson to death and is very proud of him, but expresses it in a way that only raiden (jr.) and kung lao understand

- always beefing w/ shang tsung, except unlike liu kang’s beef w/ him, this shit goes back DECADES

- literally rancid beef

- always dissing each other

- shang tsung: surprised to see you here

- raiden: i come here almost every day, are you so old that your memory is failing you?

- shang tsung: i’m just surprised to see you haven’t died yet, old man

bi-han:

- SM at a high volume drive store located next to a busy highway and proxy for milleena’s store, hates his life and hates his job

- he barely likes anyone aside from his brother and tomas

- so friendly to customers that it’s unnerving to the partners on the floor with him

- seeing his customer service smile is so terrifying to everyone that knows him

- it gives like,,,,american psycho vibes

- only reason no one’s completely terrified of him is because he insists on wearing his fucked up high top vans to work and they aren’t non-slip so he’s constantly sliding around

- at this point he’s hoping he falls so he can go home early or injure himself badly enough to go on medical leave

- grabs the scalding hot dishes fresh out of the dishwasher with his bare hands just to feel something

- also doesn’t give much of a shit about the dress code, just don’t make it a problem with the food and health department

- loves hot bar, but hates that he has to talk to people because the hand off is right next to the espresso machine

- because of this, he’s usually on customer support

- he would quit if it wasn’t for sareena, his ASM, she’s the one thing keeping that place from falling apart

- has to take a smoke break after every shift

- someone PLEASE tell this man that coffee and a cigarette isn’t a meal

- huge coffee hipster, borderline pretentious and hates the bullshit that starbucks teaches

- “dead shots aren’t real, you idiot” - bi-han to tomas at some point

- never makes drinks to standard, always changes it to what he thinks is better

- “you’re supposed to pour the shots over the ic—“ “—no, it makes the shots taste like shit” - also bi-han to tomas at some point

- somewhat appreciates covid for the fact that it normalized wearing a face mask, it’s rare to ever see the bottom half of his face

- fell to his knees when the very berry refresher was discontinued

- that was the start of his villain arc

- now he only drinks a straight up iced quad blonde espresso, no cream, no sugar, no nothing

- however, he does love a good pour over

- tried the griddy frappucino in secret and loved it, fell to his knees a second time in despair

kuai liang:

- no one ever believes him when he says he’s bi-han’s brother because they’re so different

- consistent with connections, but always seems to attract the strangest of people so it usually ends awkwardly

- ultimate multitasker, excels in front and warming

- constantly burning his hands tho

- he keeps trying to convince bi-han to wear non-slip shoes

- he bought him those non-slip crocs and bi-han stopped talking to him for a week

- popular with teenage girls that come in because they think he’s dark and mysterious

- he’s just awkward

- hates the taste of coffee

- usually gets a pineapple passsion fruit lemonade with passion tea and no inclusions, he thinks they’re gross

smoke (tomas):

- literally carrying the majority of bi-han’s store’s connection score on his back

- big sweetheart, but kinda gullible and a bit of a pushover with customers

- let them start shit with other partners though, if you wanna see him mad

- wears the non-slip crocs that kuai liang bought for bi-han since he didn’t want them

- his barista love language is swapping out the sanitizer buckets and emptying the grounds drawers during peak

- people call him smoke cause he’s burnt so many cookies in the oven

- please don’t have this man on front and warming he’ll burn the store down

- average london fog enthusiast

spices (part 1)

so. here we go- i'm writing something for a show only me and one other person 'round these parts knows hdslfksjdlfkjs

(not tagging the show even with slashes cause im too paranoid about getting found)

as you can tell there's a part 2 to this, but im currently in a post-convention crash state so this was the most i could write tonight hsdlfkjsds there shall be more later on.

anyways. it's a lil short but here y'all go;

Wukong sniffled. 

From the corner where he’d been lurking on the other side of the room, Macaque’s ear twitched, the other monkey demon glancing at him, Wukong turning his head to the side to avoid eye contact, staring at where MK and Mei were sitting at the Noodle Shop’s bar counter instead, talking about- 

“Yeah, Pigsy’s trying out some new recipes for once.” MK lightly passed a bowl over into Mei’s hands, “He does this sometimes, just to see if there’s anything worth adding to the menu. He ordered a bunch of new spices this time around- he’s been using me as a taste tester, but I figured it’d be good to get a second opinion on it.” 

Mei said something along the lines of a “Don’t mind if I do!”, but Wukong was no longer paying attention, instead rubbing his nose. The strong spiced scents in Pigsy’s Noodle Shop didn’t usually bother him, but- 

Out of the corner of his eye, Wukong could see Macaque glaring at him, with an expression that very clearly read ‘Don’t you dare’. Wukong decided to glare back at him- it wasn’t like he got much choice in the matter thank you very- very m-much-

“Hh- H’NTxttu!!” Wukong stifled a sneeze, but it was still enough to make Macaque shudder, and draw MK and Mei’s attention. 

“Uh, you alright Monkey King?” MK asked, Wukong attempting to wave him off even as his breath hitched again. 

“I’m f-fihH- fine-hIH- hHi’NTtxu!!” Wukong tried rubbing at his nose more, as though that would make the itch go away- fuck, his eyes were already watering- “Hiih- h’NXTtuu!!” 

“Stifling isn’t good for you, y’know.” Mei said, and- Wukong had to stop himself from startling at the fact the dragon girl was now directly beside him. A quick glance to his other side revealed that his apprentice had appeared at his other side as well. “It’s like, bad for your sinuses- and your brain I think? Not sure about that one.” 

“Nah, that sounds about right.” MK nodded his head in agreement with her, “Regardless, it’s bad for you, Monkey King- and don’t even think about giving me the whole immortality speech again!” 

“I- I wasn’t gonna- hIH- i-it’s- with this ihH-” Crap, Wukong wasn’t going to be able to get through an explanation like this- “If I d-don’t- hH’NTxttu!! Hih-” 

MK and Mei suddenly grabbed hold of Wukong’s arms, using their combined strength to move Wukong’s hands away from his face. Wukong instantly started struggling, but between their powers and his current distracted state- 

“Guys- pl-please, yhiIH- you don’t get i-it- hH-ghh…” Wukong gnashed his teeth together, trying to hold back as his tail thrashed- “Hh…hIH- …hHAH-hH-” 

Just as Wukong’s breath pitched to the more desperate, Macaque suddenly appeared out of a shadow portal directly in front of him, pinching Wukong’s nose shut. 

“Hh’NTtu!! ‘NtXttu!! Hih’NXttu!!” Wukong’s trio of stifled sneezes was almost entirely enough to block out the sound of Mei and MK’s offended shouts of Macaque’s name, but Wukong still had enough of a mind to use their distraction to break out of their grip, shoving Macaque away from him as he returned his own hands to his face. “Hh- hH’NXTuu!!” 

“Not even a thank you huh, as usual.” Macaque said in a tone that was somehow resting between annoyed, cocky, and disappointed- only to pause as he was faced with MK and Mei’s glares. “...What?” 

“Why’d you go and do that for?” Mei asked, arms crossed, “It’s not good for Monkey King to stifle-” 

“Sure, it might not be good for Wukong-” Macaque interrupted her, “But it’s certainly best for us. Seriously MK, your mentor is, unfortunately, one of the most powerful people on the planet, remember? Did you not stop to consider what might happen if that magic went out of contro-” 

“HihH’NTxttu!” 

“You’re still going?!” Macaque reeled around to glare at where Wukong was standing, hands still hovering in front of his face. 

“I cahH- can’t hel-hH’NTtuu!! help ihH- it- it’s too tihH’NXttuu!!-ugh, tickly- hIH-” Wukong’s next hitching breath was cut off by a yelp as he suddenly fell down through the shadow portal that appeared below him. Macaque tsked, crossing his arms as the shadow portal closed, tail shifting in clear agitation. 

“Uh.” MK’s voice made Macaque’s tail freeze as he remembered the other two people still in the restaurant with him. “Where did you send him?” 

“Tch, don’t worry about it, I sent him back to Flower Fruit Mountain.” 

“And you didn’t do that earlier because…?” Mei trailed off, tilting her head to the side, MK somehow perfectly in sync with her. 

…In truth, it was because Macaque had panicked and forgotten that was something he could do, but- 

“Cause you two were clinging on to him.” Macaque huffed out a breath, shifting a little into a slightly more cocky pose. “Seriously, you two do not want to be caught up in a magic explosi-” 

Macaque was cut off as the ground suddenly shook, making the three of them stumble, several plates and pans falling in the kitchen. He gripped onto the counter as the shaking stopped, letting out a short laugh. 

“Right. Noted.” He said, “Next time, I’m sending him to the fucking Arctic.”

[noahtally-famous]

do you have any total drama (2023) season 2 predictions?

thanks for the ask, anon!

these are all based on the four episodes I've watched and the stuff I've seen circulating tumblr abt the season!

imma split this up to make things easier for everyone-

hopes:

goddammit I need more axel and nichelle screentime pls and tyvm--tumblr has got me shipping them and I can't get out of that hole

but seriously, I hope now that they learned from the mistakes they'd made this season, next season they get far--preferably post-merge

popular take but: CAN CHEMMA FUCKING BREAK UP IN S2?? like emma realizing all this isn't worth it and splitting it off with chase (or, for whatever reason, the other way around--only bc I've seen posts speculating on that happening lmao, or they mutually split it, or what-fucking-ever. I literally do not care how they split or who's the initiator, I just want them split!)

I need more of MK!! I heard she gets booted pretty early :( but I'm hoping in s2, she's back and better than ever!

this is smth I haven't seen a lot when it comes to asks like this, but some solid ripper characterization would be neat--without the fart jokes, might I add. like I saw this post talking abt ripper realizing that his "manly disposition" isn't getting him anywhere and he gets close to certain ppl in the show and have to move past his previous beliefs and embrace his inner soft side that he's repressed.

no but seriously, I don't rlly like ripper all that much rn, so this happening in s2 would be rlly cool to his character!

bisexual emma pls??? and possibly bisexual chase??? idk if fresh will make that happen but a girl can hope, ig lmao

bowie and emma repairing their friendship-

idk I like the idea of a bowie and caleb rivalry bc bowie got caleb voted off, so maybe caleb feels some resentment for that and wants to get even in s2?? and ofc since it's bowie, he's not gonna take that lying down-

need more millie & priya friendship fr

I’ve heard that damien and priya have cute interactions so I hope they get more time to grow??? not strictly as a ship btw but I wouldn’t be opposed to that (my multishipping ass trying to find middle ground here lmao)

I need more damien and scary girl interactions, those two were hilarious

predictions:

I know most of these are my hopes rather than predictions, but what I will say is that there will def be more raj and bowie moments. like that's a no-brainer, Fresh would be pretty dumb not to have that happen

this is more of a combo of a hope and a prediction, but more multi-dimensional characterizations of scary girl, caleb, nichelle, damien, and axel?? none of them got enough screentime to add more to their characters so I'm betting s2 will focus on them...hopefully

chemma breakup--there's no way that ship can be fixed lmao, they're better off not together and--if fresh rlly wants it--with other ppl

bowie's prob gonna make it post-merge but not to the final two again. idk abt priya but I'm hoping it's the same for her too bc I love both of them sm-

I've seen discussions of a potential 'wayne and raj separate teams' arc, and while that would be crushing, I feel like that could happen?? it'd certainly bring forth some sort of tension/drama

these are all that I can think of. maybe once I finish watching the season, I can give a more lengthy list!

[minheeology]

onf ➳ as soft boyfriends

pairing : onf x gn!reader

requested? : yes!

a/n : aaa i love writing about onf. if come across this somehow and you don’t already stan them, pls do! they just had a comeback.

hyojin

this man… he acts as though you two are married already. you’d have constant dates, mainly romantic dinners. he’d sing to you all the time and encourage you to sing too even if you can’t/think you can’t. he takes care of you in both subtle and non-subtle ways, just wanting what’s best for you.

seungjun (j-us)

the cutest person ever. he cherishes every single second with you and never goes a day without letting you know that. he loves being around you since he gets a break from being a leader. now it’s his turn to be taken care of. (but he definitely takes care of you despite you telling him it’s his time to rest. it’s just his nature).

changyoon (e-tion)

he adores you. he’s going to give you little gifts almost every time you see him, whether it be a bracelet or your favorite flowers or candies. little subtle ways to let you know that he’s always thinking of you. he likes doing domestic things with you, like cooking or even just cleaning the house. your presence alone makes him super happy.

jaeyoung (wyatt)

his tough persona washes away around you. he’s attentive and caring and likes to be cared for. he’ll spend every second of his time off with you, always asking how you were and trying to help you if something is wrong. he’s protective, so expect him to always be holding your hand or have an arm around you when you go out.

minkyun (mk)

he is the clingiest boyfriend ever. he loves you so much and never lets your forget it. expect a lot of stay at home dates, but also trips to the cat cafes and movie nights. like hyojin, he’s always going to serenade you, especially if you say you like a certain song. he’s a silly boyfriend too, opting to make you laugh all the time because your laugh is his favorite sound.

yuto (u)

since he’s fairly young, everything is an adventure with him. he’ll want to be with you as much as possible. he’s going to tell you stories from trips he went on with onf and people he met, promising you that he’ll bring you to all of those places one day and let you meet everyone he met and more. always talks about taking you to see his favorite places in japan!!!! he’s going to be the best boyfriend, just expect that things will be awkward sometimes.

[lveclouds]

ship your mutuals with bts and why?

ok here we go i’m gonna go on a tangent hehe (also i shipped one of my mutuals with a chinese drama actor aka wang yibo from the untamed ok im sorry anon i couldn’t help myself!!) 

@honeylovecult: tess, i ship you with hobi because he’s the epitome of an angel and he always brings love and happiness everywhere he goes, and so do you! you’re also very supportive of your mutuals and you spread nothing but positive vibes everywhere you go!! i feel like you and hobi would go on cute dates. for example, you’d accompany him to the dance studio where you would watch him practice and then he’d convince you to dance with him and he’d guide you through every step, and when you would get a move right, he’d smile and kiss you sweetly. 

@yoonsgiggle: hannah, you already know that i have to ship you with yoongi. you would drop by the studio to bring him lunch sometimes, and he’d blush and pretend that the gesture didn’t affect him, but when you two are alone, yoongi would give you the sweetest gummy smile and say”thank you. i really appreciate you coming here. you really didn’t have to do this.” then, he would gather you in his arms and give you the biggest hug. even though yoongi’s not a very affectionate person, i’d feel like he’d make an exception for you 😔

@sketchguk: teresa, you and jungkook are practically a match made in heaven. you are so talented and sweet and so is he!! and jungkook would love showering you in kisses and hugs and cling onto you like a koala bear constantly. he would allow you to play with his soft hair as he drifts off to sleep because “it feels nice” as he’d put it. he would give you his devastating smile, eye crinkles and all. he would treat you like royalty, and i can totally imagine him carrying you bridal style when you break/sprain your ankle even when you insist that you can walk just fine with your crutches, and then he’d pout, his doe eyes getting all big, and say”babeee why would need those stupid things when you have me? i can carry you wherever and whenever you want! i’m much more reliable than those crappy pieces of metal!” oh and he would insist on making you the focus of his next gcf, despite you saying that you were shy. “babe! don’t be shy! you’re gorgeous!” he’d say, looking at you lovingly through the lens of his expensive camera as he filmed you eating a bowl of cereal. “guk, why are you filming me now, i look terrible”, you’d say, gesturing to your messy bun and makeup free face. he’d again pout and insisted that you looked absolutely stunning and that seeing you in his shirt and no makeup was the best thing to wake up to the morning. “i want the fans to see how lucky i am.” 

@angtaelic: mirelle, you and taehyung would be so freaking cute together!! he would take you on dates to the art museum and travel the world with you, taking tons of cute photos to look back on. taehyung would spoil the heck out of you, taking you to the best restaurants and insisting on paying. i feel like he would convince you to see a play with him at a local theater. also, taehyung would hold hands with you wherever you go because he likes seeing how perfectly your hands fit together. and, when night falls, he would take you to the prettiest parts of city you’re in, and after taking lots of photos of you posing in front of the famous landmarks, he would grab you by the waist and kiss you sweetly. 

@yoonseok:( ok i’m breaking the rules for this pls don’t attack me y’all hehe ) mk, i would ship you with wang yibo because first, of all, you’d make a stunning couple!!! like a visual queen and king? together? hell yes! and i feel like you’d take over the world together, in a way. i could totally see you working as a stylist or even a makeup artist in the industry and then you get hired to do his makeup and hair for a photo shoot and he falls in love with you. idk i can just see him getting all shy and flustered whenever you would apply makeup or even do as much as reach around him to grab a brush or something off the vanity in front of him. he’d pretend like he’s not affected, when, deep down, he really likes you. 

@funkyrosejin: sarvi you and jin would be freaking adorable!! he would let you hold rj when you’re feeling sad and he would have heart events just for you. this man would pull hearts made of paper out of his shirt and even bend a whole ass hanger into the shape of a heart, all for you. he would make you laugh with his dorky dad jokes, letting out his adorable and iconic laugh. he would send kisses your way when the other members aren’t looking. jin would also let you wear his oversized hoodies and jackets when you’re cold. or, he would wrap you in his arms and not bother to let go. 

@namuswife: amanda! you and joon?? practically the couple of the century! he would take you on cute bike rides through seoul and to different art museums and bookstores, where he would insist on spending hours at, reading different books and even letting you pick one out for him to read. he would also take you to his studio, where he would write you a cute ass song and dedicate it to you ofc. and he would smile at you with those adorable dimples as he grabs your hand and cradles it gently, looking sweetly into your eyes. you would also go on cute beach dates where he would insist on looking for crabs and when he would find one, joon would run up to you, eyes bright with happiness and his voice full of excitement. “babe! look! this crab is so cute! it is dotty and tiny and its shell is very colorful!” you would look at him fondly as he adorably rambled about the tiny sea creature in his hands and how people shouldn’t eat them and that they were their friends. 

@jiminestamour: laura you and jimin would be so cute!! he would spoil you rotten, giving you lots of gifts and taking you to your favorite vacation spots, insisting on paying for everything. he would take lots of candid photos of you as well. jimin would tuck a strand of hair behind your ear and insist on tying your hair so that he could see your beautiful face better, as he would put it. jimin would shower you in affection and kiss you sweetly every chance he got, not caring who saw. lastly, jimin would sing you to sleep, and you would fall asleep with the sound of his sweet and angelic voice in your ears. 

@softguks: i would also ship you with guk because he’s the sweetest angel and so are you!!! he would be your biggest fan and support you in anything you do. he would insist on giving you back rubs and running a bath for you when you get especially stressed out, and even insist on washing your hair for you! he would serenade you constantly and get all smug when he makes you blush. jungkook would also spoil the heck out of you and carry you to sleep when you would fall asleep on the couch reading a book or watching your favorite drama or tv show, and when you would try to get up in the morning, guk would immediately pull you back into bed and wrap his arms firmly around you, clinging on to you for dear life. 

sorry this was so long guys!! and i definitely forgot to add people, but i will do a part two of this because this was so fun!!!

Should You Fight My F/Os

I was tagged by @foreveryours-mouse and @fishandships

tagging: i have no idea who has and who hasnt done this so if you want to feel free!

under a cut bc this a long post

tl;dr you probs shouldnt

Miguel

this man lives for fighting. He probably wants you to fight him. I do not recommend you fight him. He may have absolutely no formal training, but thats not gonna stop him from hitting you as hard as he can. this boi has a 1 hit ko. he is fully prepared to kick your ass and laugh as he does it

5/10 its your funeral, but he probably started it

Toni

The guy is like 1000 years old and Has Seen Some Shit. his history has plenty of dark parts and he’d probably understand if you did try to fight him. But he’s such a soft, sweet guy now and he’s doing his best, just trying to spread some happy vibes and tend to his garden. He probably wont even fight back if he thinks he deserves it

3/10 but you’ll break my heart (also miguel might come and kick ur ass for it)

Josie

Yeah, Josie is a trained fighter, but she’s such a soft soul. She’s just trying to provide for her family despite everything that scares her. Why would you fight her? She’ll probably start crying and then what are you going to do? Fight a woman while she sobs?

0/10 Don’t fight her unless you’re a monster (miguel will definitely kick ur ass for it)

Hermes

I mean you could. He probably deserves it, like most of the Isu he’s not very pro-human. But please consider that he’s like 8 ft tall, fast, and has probably been training for a couple centuries. 

5/10 do it

Koller

You look at him and see an edgy punk twink who hasn’t slept in days and lives off of take out, he might be on drugs. So you think “Yeah I could probably take him” and honestly? Yeah you probably could. Hes got plenty of augs, but he’s still not a fighter. He has an exposed cranial aug and if you hit it you might actually kill him

2/10 he’s anxious enough already pls dont make it worse

Shay

He might kill you, he might not. Its a toss up. You could fight him, but he was trained as an assassin and doesnt exactly fight fair. Is guaranteed to have at least one hidden blade. If you mention lisbon you might be able to get an advantage bc he still feels incredibly guilty about that

4/10 probs not ur best idea

Sylas

It is completely understandable if you want to fight him. He is trying to overthrow a government afterall. He’s also not exactly friendly if ur a noble or not a mage. If you dont have magic he cant borrow ur skills so that will give you an advantage

4/10 if ur a mage 7/10 if ur not. he spent 15 years in jail and managed to come out oddly buff so who knows what else he can do

Vi

Like Miguel, Vi also lives for fighting. She won’t kill you so that helps ur odds. You might be able to convince her to fight without the gauntlets and that will help you even more. She still probably kick ur ass but at least you have a chance at that point

7/10 have fun 

Xayah and Rakan

Are you human? Yes? Xayah hates you, and will probs try to kill you if you start a fight. Rakan will join her bc he loves her. You dont get to fight to just one and they have some incredible synergy. Rakan is distracting and Xayah has feather daggers

1/10 best to not

Yusuf Tazim

Sure he looks and acts kinda goofy, but he is a trained master assassin. He will kill you. He might feel bad about it later, but he is fully capable of killing you. 

2/10 probs shouldnt

Scorpion/Hanzo Hasashi

This man has died multiple times. He has lost his family, He is a part time undead revenant that can drag you into MK hell. He has nothing left to lose, and his honor will make him fight you with everything hes got

1/10 don’t even try

Sub Zero/Kuai Liang

Hes a pretty chill dude but he was raised to be an assassin. Was also a cyborg for awhile. Also has ice powers so if he doesnt think ur worth his time he might just freeze you. He’s also a teacher tho so he might just critique ur fight stance

5/10 either you die in some rly gross, gory way or he gives you some good feedback

Smoke/Tomas Vrbada

Im not sure what about his look would make you think you could fight him. Like boi has smoke just around him. Is it the long hair? Is that what makes you think you could take him? Like Sub-Zero, hes been raised to be an assassin so he is fully prepared to kill you. can also use smoke powers to teleport or to give you a gory end

3/10 he might boil you alive but thats the risk you’ll have to take

Jefferson

Pls dont he’s been through enough. Like come on my guy, he spent 28+ years separated from his daughter just let him stay with her and dont hurt him anymore. Please im begging you. Also he may or may not have magic besides portals

3/10 how could you

[lunar-proxy]

i don't know what to say except i made this

3 IN, 3 OUT – Sweet Home CLink East – Seahawks v. Giants

by fellow 12 Clinton Bonner

Sea Hawkers Pod 12s Own Clink East

  The sun? Check!

The fun? Check!

The grub? Check!

The love? Check!

The 12s? Check!

The start? Well… we'll get to that

The finish? Check!

The big ‘road' W at CLink East? Check and mate.

What can we say fellow 12s… sometimes life hands ya bacon and this past Sunday at CLink East was just one of ‘dem days. With that, let's start with a big thank you to a gaggle of Flockers and let's start this thing off right saying thanks to Brandan and Adam who trekked all the way in from Big Sky Country!

I hadn't met this dynamic duo sans being ‘cyber friends' for a time now and I do want our world to know they are who you thought they would be! Genuine good dudes, genuine passion… Brandan a bit more cerebral, stoic, dare I say calm in the face of 12-dom and most often with a satisfaction laden grin across his bearded mug with just enough snark to let you know he's listening … Adam-isms you hear on the pod aren't just his ‘pod life', that's him! He's fired up, fast talking, opinionated, really sports hates Bruce Arians, mentions Jared a good bit, and would make for a perfectly good East Coast Italian-American if he would just learn to wave his hands around a lot more. It was fantastic to get to hang with these dudes, so thanks for putting it all in motion.

Of course there is the Flock who came out and were equally amazing to hang with including Stephanie and Cameron Cole, MK and Josh, Gary Blum and his awesome daughter Jenna, Jon Wondrack, Kofi Poku, Christian Tjessem and Mary (all the way from Norway so they did better!!!) and many others throughout the day including the boys, Stuart and Adam from the Pedestrian Podcast … or as I like to refer to it, the Seahawks pod across the pond!

And I have to give some love to my cousin Joel and our boy Hot Rod, two Giants fans who not only endured being surrounded by 12s all day, but also cooked us steak and provided us with the foodvention of the year … the CLink East Burger aka charcoal grilled cheeseburger with tri-tip steak and loaded potato salad on a bun of goodness.

the CLink East Burger

— Sea Hawkers Podcast (@SeaHawkersPod) October 23, 2017

  You know the drill by now … when we win, we start with an IN, so let's do exactly that.

  IN – Sir Mix-A-Lot

Only if she's five-three

  You may think I'm foolish… but upon re-watching, I looooooooved what this offense did to open up the game . The very first play in fact was 5-wide, motion Rawls to the backfield, read-option run to the right, Rawls gain of 6.

OMGosh, just what Dr. Bevell, Medicine Woman ordered. The offense in our 2-first series was a 9 outta 10 great. We saw Rawls & Lacy with gains of 5+ yards on the ground. We saw an early deep shot to EDB (that's Elite Doug Baldwin for ya n00bs) as well as a classic Doug 3rd down conversion as he found a soft spot in the middle of the field. We saw consistently good run blocking and good enough pass protection… and heck, we even saw a Jet Sweep and a key completion to Darboh.

They call this something in sports and no, not just a functioning NFL offense… but it's called being dynamic. Like any good Nirvana tune (or heck even a copycat Nirvana such as Oleander), our offense had a great mix going early of power running, quick hitting conservative passing, and stretching the field with shots over 20 yards.

Baby got back alright … Me likey where this offense is growing.

  OUT – Can't Stop the Feeling

Those first two drives we relished in just above resulted in about 100 yards of offense and our ‘Hawks dominating time of possession with around 10 minutes of clock earned. But, it also netted exactly zero points.

Loved going for it on 4th and 2 (or so) from the G-Men 2, it was the right call.

What wasn't right in those first two drives were un-timely unforced errors in the form of false starts, blocking whiffs, and a case of the ‘Mamma Dropsies'.

Ifedi's offsides on drive 1 to take us from 2nd and 5 to 2nd and 10 killed that drive's ‘mo.

We suffered another offsides on the following drive deep in Big Blue territory… Que Lastima!

With Britt out (injured a few plays previous), on 2nd down from the Giants 1.5, we suffered a jailbreak as Lacy was met 3.5 yards in the backfield for a huge loss… and finally…

Jimmy. Jimmy, I love ya … c'mon man, been defending you since the trade, you've GOT to make red zone catches for us!!!

2 B+ drives that are A's if we just execute. Frustrating.

Flocktimus Prime had this squared up from jump street, well done Keith.

Not finishing 1st half drives is #OUT. Hopefully just a step between no offense and dominant offense. @clintonbon #3i3o

— Keith Ketover (@FlocktimusPrime) October 23, 2017

    IN – Jarranimo

Faithful flock, if you dig #3i3o, we're grateful and we hope we provide some extra love, extra value, extra spicy sauce to our collective ‘Hawkra that makes ya smile. So, for the faithful readers, you'll remember that our pre-season post discussing 3 unsung Seahawks that would make or break our year, we dedicated 33.33% of that article to one Jarran Reed.

Now you read (from the aforementioned article of destiny):

“Our Run D was OUTSTANDING in 2016 and very often it was due to players like Reed filling their role – and their gaps – professionally and allowing others like Wagner, Clark, Wright and more to make big plays. Reed was more than above average last season against the run and on a line with the likes of Avril, Bennett, Clark, and now Sheldon … so what if he records only a few sacks?

While Nazair Jones was one of the darlings of pre-season – and deservingly so – Reed enters year-2, nearly as a forgotten man.

There’s no metric here to follow, this one is all about your gut. Watch the trenches with intent. If Reed is being consistent up the gut, consistently clearing lanes for our LBs and DEs to make big plays, consistently non-flashy but darn effective … our Seahawks will be marching on to Minnesota come February.”

This wasn't Jarran's only impact play, but it's the one we'll all recall, and with great reason!

  Jarran Reed forces a fumble on Manning http://pic.twitter.com/fjN1Tw27f9

— Billy Marshall (@BillyM_91) October 22, 2017

For those that can or already have re-watched the game, focus on Reed for a bit, you will continue to see what this man is doing right up the gut. He's progressing and getting even better in year 2. Jarran Reed is a big, big factor for our ‘Hawks and as my brother Scotty likes to say… Love to say I told ya so. Want more proof?

Samuel Gold knows his stuff:

Jarran Reed ranked 2/66 interior defenders with a run stop % of 30.4%. He also had the strip sack on Eli Manning as well. #Seahawks

First He giveth, then He taketh away. Such is life on the roller coaster we call 3 IN, 3 OUT. And while us 12s must be our best Fat Boy Slims and praise Russ like we do, this is the facts of Seahawks life … and they can’t all be Jo’s or Tooties now can they?

Russ has mastered the intermediate – 20 to 34 yard, drop it in the bucket pass. See Baldwin’s beauties if you’re not following the floating ball here people.

One aspect of Russ’ game that is a little askew this season is the really ‘Sexy Deep Ball’. Sure he connected with P-Rich with some razzle-dazzle and one heck of a snag by our decadian wearing Colorado Buffalo, but we’re focused on a slightly different type of SDB.

Multiple times this year, and 2x just this passed Sunday, Russ missed a wide open Baldwin and Lockett, respectively. The good? Baldwin and Lockett are consistently getting behind DBs this year, and even misses on SDBs open the field for later offensive domination. The bad? Russ needs to make some of these opps count.

He takes an OUT in a game where we dominated and he threw for ‘3 and 3’. This is a game that should have been 34 to 7 and in the not-too-distant future we’ll be up against much, much better offensive talent where 24 probably won’t cut it.

  IN – Russ to Jimmy… Wait, What!?

I know, I know… I'm a shill for Jimmy Graham, it's not, not true.

We all know about the 2 HUGE drops … they are deserving of an OUT unto themselves, so we’re not sugar coating it here peeps. What excites me is the way Jimmy is being used over the last few weeks.

When Jimmy dropped what shoulda been his first TD of the day, it wasn’t some fade route that sailed aimlessly over Jimmy’s head (though we had one of those too). We love Russ, and we should vigorously defend him to any NFL fan that sees him as some average QB… Trust me, they’re still out there!!!

But Russ is on the struggle bus when it comes to End Zone fade routes. It’s like watching Matthew Broderick’s 1998 Godzilla… it just makes ya ill.

Jimmy’s TD drop and then subsequent TD catch show us that Bevell and co. seem to have learned that we can still use Jimmy in the Red Zone and throw him a different route than the fade… this is VERY encouraging.

Graham’s other big drop might have also went for 6 and surely woulda went for 35+ yards. OK, he beefed it and dropped a wide open delivery from Russ… but where was Graham when he Buckner’d that bad boy? He was wiiiiiide out, streaking down the left sideline on that route. Combine this with the more 5-wide schemes we are seeing, combine this with Russell going for well over 300 yards on the day, with 3 TDs… combined with this true fact:

The #Seahawks are 12-0 in the regular season when Russell Wilson throws three touchdowns in a game. https://t.co/dod5P73UJA http://pic.twitter.com/7EbVQTxfA4

And this is a big, big IN.

OUT – Ticky Tacky Crappy

Dominating win, on the road, which was quickly followed by a work road-trip of my own. So pardon the easy route here of using an OUT on two types of penalty calls that just bug the snot outta me.

Defensive Holding on run plays – There must've been some committee meeting this offseason to put a spotlight on defensive holding during run plays because, well, I just can't for the life of me remembering seeing this call all that much… ummmm ever. Now, it seems like once a game this dumb-dumb call gets used. Hey NFL, why don't you work on ways so that the Refs are LESS involved and not creating new things to play ‘gotcha' with… ugggh, OUT.

Our ‘Hawks ‘luck' with offensive PI calls … I just re-watched the Lockett TD that was negated and again, the improper insertion of the white stripes to hurt the ‘Hawks is evident. I realize other teams get banged for offensive PIs too, but we just seem to more often AND usually, as was the case here, the calls are pure rubbish.

Bonus IN

We dominated, so a bonus IN, why not?

Quickly, this goes to Justin Coleman and not for covering guys that would otherwise be on a practice squad, but for his abilities making tackles near the line of scrimmage. Justin Coleman for a 7th round pick… we've discussed this before, but my oh my, this is turning out to be a complete steal.

If you have the ability to re-watch the game go to the 12:53 mark of the 3rd quarter and you'll see why Coleman gets the bonus IN!

  From the Flock!!!

My favorite segment of #3i3o is hearing it from YOU … so let's see what ya'll had to say this week!

Feeling bad for Ross Bell of the UK Sea Hawkers and the Pedestrian Podcast … he was the 3rd leg of the UK stool, but he couldn't make the trip this time out – we missed ya Ross!

  Early #3I3O 4 @clintonbon. When your podcast partners fly off to New York for the game and leave you at home! #OUT @adamdnathan @Stu_Court

  Ron didn't specifically tag this #3i3o, nor does he have to – I just thought this was a popular opinion that ought to be re-shared:

  Ron bringing the Pepper heat on Jimmy

  Samsies here, I just loved this post so had to re-share this gem from Erik. While I can't preach for Frank the Tank's grasp of the Laffer Curve or P-Rich's position on legalized pot… I can back this ticket.

  1,2,3… What's Next!!!???

Back to CLink West we go. I'm fired up to watch this evolved LOB go up against Watson, Hopkins, Fuller and others. The weather looks pristine as of right now and that matters because Russ ain't great in the rain. I expect our O to keep tightening things up and my spidey sense is telling me we're about to see our best offensive performance of the year.

Let's just see if good ole' Mamma Cleo's crystal ball is crystal clear.

Until Sunday Flockers … see you on Twitter and on the Sea Hawkers Ring of Honor on FB where if you use the tag #3i3o I'll do my bestest to get your account included in the weekly dash of extra Seahawks goodness!

A HUGE Thank you to Brandan and Adam for creating something special here and Go ‘Hawks !!!
