#guhhh thinking about this again

[welcometogrouchland]

Does life ever get so bad that you want to start hanging out at church/mass again?? Like not really for spiritual reasons (kind of but not really but maybe but no) but more for nostalgia reasons

just finished earthspark season 3 here are my thoughts

guhhh urghuuu oughh I think I hauve covid I need optimus to make megatron and prowl get along by locking their pussies together with magnets and ordering them to make each other feel good while he watches from nearby

I need to see megatron so into it bc he's used to optimus putting him in situations from their time together on earth but this is not a side of optimus that prowl is used to so he's so flustered whimpering and squirming away from megatron's fat node as it grinds against his own but every time he glances to optimus he just sees that piercing gaze and shivers needing to be good for him

prowl overloads first squirting on them both with a yelp and a flutter of his doorwings and he looks so ashamed immediately after but that changes quickly when megatron gets so turned on by how cute he is that he presses prowl to the ground to hump against him with all his strength until he's squirting too

at the end optimus removes the magnet and praises them both which makes prowl's spike pop out and he tries to push it back in but now he's got both of them on him ready to push him into another overload

anyway yeah the season was okay still felt drab compared to the first season but not quite as disappointing as the second was but I'm sad Grimlock still didn't talk and Tarantulas didn't come back like I'd hoped orz I really wanted him and prowl to interact it would've been so joever for me if he'd shown up again I would have gone insane and I'd be talking about prowl getting filled with eggs instead

...what could have been

[tetraandtheapples]

Quickie Template doodle?????? Got bored halfway so his clothes don't have the same colouring style as his face/hair LMAO

This was my attempt at drawing cornrows first time.......... Ehgh???? Ehh?????????? My issue halfway was that he looked kinda bald but now I'm a bit.... he looks too hairy HEHAHAHA

Based on my discussion with @fishfrypi about Template's hair....... He was the one to first bring up Cornrows and I fell in love guh...... Template's whole deal is that he tries way too hard to NOT be like Error so I think while Error would have wild and crazy afro-ish/dreads maybe (undecided) (hobo core) Template would have this to keep his hair somewhat contained.... (I like to imagine especially whenever Errors get mad/emotionally strong their hair puffs up like static electricity..... This is also a way for Template to keep his hair tucked down LMAO)

Guhhhgh I have a lot more to say so guhhh below the cut.......

Oh yeah. Oh yeah that's right you pressed READ MORE I guess somepony wants to hear about my hair head canons. Head. Like head of hair? Haha geddit??? anyways

INK

Erm so I did actually draw him but I'm not very confident in bald people yet. Anyways spoiler alert he's bald..... More specifically Alopecia Universalis

Yeagh guh..... I think he would wear out a lot of wigs because of this and draw on eyebrows and such. He's never wearing the same wig two days in a row and is always experimenting..... Little creature. They're my favourite.

I think he would wear all kinds of wigs!!! Bright & Bold vs Normal and inconspicuous... depends on how he's feeling!!! Hair is very much an expression of oneself, and Ink has some issues with that I think..... He's a bit disconnected from reality in a way, literally viewing everyone around him as "fictional characters." (I am NOT letting people forget this factoid it's literally my favourite thing about him. I love you Ink)

I think he changes a lot about himself depending on who he's talking to, minus possibly Error who he goes and harasses with all of his weirdness LMAO. And I think the wigs are a way of representing that almost!!! He's an ever changing ball of goo.

Also. The reason why Alopecia Universalis and not just general baldness.... His eyebrows. No hair. He has to draw them on. Eyebrows are probably the main visual way we communicate emotions. Ink has emotion issues. Yeah. I want to kill him too.

DREAMTALE TWINS

Yeah this is going in no particular order just how they pop up in my mind. Also lumping these two together for reasons that shall be explored in a minute.....

These two! My favourites. Twins twins twins..... I love to see them as identical so their hair shall be, too.

I imagine their hair would be brown and a bit curly/wavy..... Trust the process gamers.....

These queens make it seem like their hair is much more clean than it is but no it's probably very dirty covered in twigs and shit. Tree boys.

I'm stuck between how long it should be.... Since they're very young I imagine not that long... But as they get older and Dream and Nightmare drift apart, maybe their hair length changes/differs?

Dream with the villagers gets imposed with male hair standards so it gets cut short, meanwhile Nightmare is neglected (nobody touching stinky demon hair!) and his hair is left to grow long........ More difference in their hair shows their widening relationship oooooooh writing!!!!! Metaphor alert! Metaphor alert! SOS! SOS!

DREAM & SWAN

So yeah uh blatantly stealing the hair apple magic thing from This Post. Because it's a cool concept!!!!!!!!! What the hell!!!!!!!!!! They're my favourites!!!!!!!!

So I think Dream and Swan's hair would look very similar.... With possibly streaks of golden blonde/black respectively. Maybe if you were to really, really compare Swan's hair would be a bit more straight and Dream's more bouncy/curly. (I know I've drawn Swan with total pitch black hair before. But. That was then.... This is the Future....)

And length is where I stumble a bit again!!!!! Because I am. Quite literally obsessed with the idea of Positivity representing stasis/tranquility vs Negativity representing momentum/drive towards change (Both of which are important for a healthy individual!!! I think I should say this.)

However I really really want Swan to have long hair vs Dream having shorter hair. Remnants from their upbringing maybe?

But for Swan is seems less practical to be running around with a whole set of hair... I imagine it would be especially easy for Swad to swoop in and nap him by it, which makes even less sense for him to have it around.... guh

When I do draw him with longer hair I love to image he plats it like so. Keeps it all tucked away under his hood so no Bird man can come in and yoink him away (and leave an obvious patch of burnt hair where he touched it LMAO)

Dream having shorter hair at least makes a little sense in my view.... He keeps it short because its what he's used to... But I also really love the idea of him growing it longer in remembrance of Nightmare and their shared history. He's definitely not as crazy as Swad is about living Dreamtale again! And knows logically that he would never want to subject Night to the abuse that went on behind the scenes..... But he would still like to have his brother back to reconnect and to try and make up for all of it.

Probably something like this?? But more messy?????? Dream to me would seem like a very clean guy but actually is very disorganised and messy. He would roll around in dirt for fun if he could.

So I'm very stuck on their length..... Need to think about it some more. As for facial hair, I do like to think of the twins as generally clean shaven? Not that they shave per say but just don't grow facial hair LOL..... I am definitely not opposed to bearded twins though, I just need to see a beard design I actually like for them before I go fluffing them up HEHAHA.

Hmmm now that I'm actually seeing the hair styles I can actually see Swan wearing the short hair vs Dream with the long...... Maybe I just needed an image guh HEHEHEHE

SWAD

Swad..... My beloved...... My precious..... YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE did you know.

Swad hair I imagine is long as...... However in contrast to Dream's brown-golden hair it's just straight up pure blonde.... Glowing a little, too!!! Hell, I imagine it even floats a little around his shoulders like an aura, or halo of some kind.... ethereal LMAO (I could imagine him maybe with a few brown tips like his original hair colour, but they'd be very unnoticeable..... Maybe when the hair falls out it turns back into it's original colour gehehe)

This is where the twins' hair texture comes in a bit. Because I imagine apple transformative character design magic not just altering the hair colour, but also texture.... Where his hair was once maybe wavy, it's now fully curly.

I also like to imagine his hair is very very frizzy and heat damaged due to his general core temperature being off the charts.... It all curls around him, framing his face (egotist i hate him)

I don't view Swad as somebody who takes care of himself very well. He cares about his appearance, sure, but when actually practicing self care, he's kinda actually the worst.... HEHAHA. He lets his hair grow all long but that's okay because it all floats around him anyway. He doesn't wash it, but that's okay too because any bugs that try to inhabit his scalp instantly combust upon entering a 1m radius HEHAHA. I would be a little worried about sebum, but it's hard to tell.......

Reddit says not to try and evaporate the oils but only because it'll cause heat damage to your hair and skin.... Which wouldn't affect Sol in the first place HEHAHA (hottie!!) So it's hard to say really. Even if his hair was really oily I don't think it would be that noticeable, his hair already shines with or without oil HEHEHE.

NIGHTMARE

Nightmare. Now THIS One. He's my favourite.

Opposite of Swad time baby...... Where the twins' hair was kinda wavy, Swad's is more curly, Nightmare is dead straight..... Like a cloak.

I don't think it even behaves like hair anymore really. You could separate it, but it acts more like a cloak or window blind than actual hair. It sticks all together because of the slime.... Slimey man... His hair is literally "depressed" and flat lol

Like these two images, but DEFINITELY not as shiny...... It's very dull/matte, could definitely camouflage into the darkness/shadows if you didn't know what to expect. As dark and black as you can get with hair.

It's always Dreamtale where I get stuck on long vs short..... On one hand I think long would come a lot more naturally to Nightmare's whole design.... It makes him look less humanoid almost, hiding his form... On the other though, character-wise I could see him cutting it shorter.

I always thought of Nightmare Dreamtale to be a lot more.... royalty oriented than the others. Swad perceives himself as a God, sure, but Nightmare I think need to do little things to make himself feel better/"prove" he is in control of his life.... Him actually cutting it shorter in contrast to how he had his hair longer when he was younger (more weak and pathetic)..... I think it would be neat!!!! But sigh. ilu nightmare

KILLER (Honourable Mention)

Killer. My favourite of them all!!!!!

Okay this one is an honourable mention because I had. absolutely zero opinions about Killer's hair. Until. UNTIL.

Cowsmilkzz's design. Oh my god.

Oh my god

OH MY GOD

Absolute no notes. This is stunning. Killer skinhead was not something I knew I needed until I saw it....... I feel like if I saw Killer walking down the street coming in my direction I SHOULD feel the need to cross to the other side. Please go away. I don't wanna be mugged/murdered. Especially the face tattoo there are absolute no notes. A+++++

They seem to be more active on Insta so like please please pretty please. Go to their Insta and follow them there........ They post other humanoid skeleton art I'm absolutely in love with it's so cool. (I'm decently certain they've got one slot open for a commission!!!!! Wink wink nudge nudge) https://www.instagram.com/cowsmilkzz/ https://www.instagram.com/cowsmilkzz/ https://www.instagram.com/cowsmilkzz/

And yeagh guh. That's all folks........

By the by if you love hair (autism) as much as I do please consider checking out "Sister, dear" by honey_bubbletea33 on Ao3!!! Fem human versions of the characters and it's amazing. I loved it. 10/10 read absolutely worth your time

[sa1808fi]

Guhhh thoughts on Emmet himself saying in tlm2 that the reason he struggled with "getting tougher" was because he heavily struggles to cope with change.... and subsequently subcontiously misses the simplicity of living in Bricksburg despite having learned what it really was (totalitarian dystopia with the careful disguise of a utopia)....

You ever think about how much more tragic Rex becomes with that revelation...

I think that despite how aggressively Rex sticks to his new personality and lifestyle, there's always going to be something in him that misses what life was like before. That ignorance to the world around him and how people treated him was what kept him going, following the instructions.

Once Emmet learns about the existence of master builders, he has to deal with the fact that the ignorance he's lived in his whole life kept him blind to a lot of things. The system he obeyed and believed was actually repressing a lot of people, whole other worlds existed, and there was some kind of other realm that only he could see.

That's a lot of shit to throw at a guy in one day.

And yet Emmet manages to roll with all of the insane stuff happening to him pretty quickly. He comes up with a replacement for a broken wheel, saves them all from drowning with his double decker couch, comes up with a good plan to infiltrate Octan (That ended up being closer to winning than any other plan), and he even manages to talk down Business to stopping his evil plan!

Emmet is finally happy because he managed to find his sense of self between all that chaos. He's a master builder, The Special, and he has friends now!

Then Apocalypseburg comes along. Those instructions that his whole life revolved around don’t exist anymore (at least not as intensely), Lucy and everyone else got sucked into the tough-gritty mentality that everyone else took on.

Emmet never cared to change like that himself. Surfer Dave wanted to be Chainsaw Dave instead? Ok cool, Emmet's still gonna treat him the same as always.

Emmet is perfectly content with doing whatever he wants now, and he no longer feels the need to go along with everyone else because he has friends that care about him now. And something about the aggressiveness of the apocalypseburgian lifestyle isn't that appealing to him.

Now, everyone treats him as an outcast for not fitting in compared to the previous complaints of him being 'too normal'. Emmet ignores these comments because he's fine with his life. He still listen's to 'Everything Is Awesome', greets people on the street, and lives in his own little world, ignorant to the world around him.

Then his friends get kidnapped, he meets Rex, and he has to face his worldview being shattered again.

He finally starts acting tough because Emmet now believes if he doesn't, then he can't save anyone.

And then it turns out the guy he spent the whole time trusting is this future version of himself that got abandoned by everyone he was currently trying to save.

That HURTS man.

And that's not even going on how Rex is feeling. The man has to come face to face with a younger more naive version of himself that hasn't faced the horrors he had.

Rex has to deal with this version of himself that still talks about Apocalypseburg fondly, and thinks back to his friends without any hatred.

How Rex feels about his past homes will change depending on the timeline.

During the 5 years in Undar, Rex slowly came to the 'realization' that none of his friends actually wanted to come and find him. He's left there to just look back at all of his good memories as a way to pass the time.

However, once the knowledge of his 'uselessness' sinks in, those rose-tinted glasses are ripped away from him. All of the mistreatment he suffered in Bricksburg and Apocalypseburg is going to slap him in the face.

Right out of Undar and until the events of the second movie, he doesn't look back at Bricksburg, or even Apocalypseburg with bittersweetness. It's just rage. He does his best to just keep it out of his mind because he's trying to focus on his plans, but when it does engulf his thoughts?

All he can remember is the betrayal, the constant side comments, the attempts to make him change himself. All of that just fans the firey rage that's settled into his heart.

The second movie is the first time in years that he's had to actually face his past as Emmet. Until then it was just occasional outbursts at the thought of either place or people.

So here's Emmet, the him that hasn't been scarred by the unfairness of the world. The him that still lives in that blissful ignorance. The him that believes people care.

Rex changed himself until he was practically unrecognizable (Even to himself), because he was running under the logic that if he didn't, then he really was useless.

He took up an adventurous lifestyle, pulling off dangerous stunts to further distance himself from the safe way he used to live. The fucker decided to go to the past to get velociraptors because he thought it would be cool.

Still, some tiny part of him longs for the days when he lived in naivety, when the knowledge of how the world actually works didn't weigh down on him, when he didn't have to grapple with the fact that people didn't like him.

But alas, He's seen too much at this point.

‘ignorance is bliss’ and all that jazz.

[mylevisdontfitanymore]

(https://www.tumblr.com/mylevisdontfitanymore/736011986052284416?source=share) oh boy, now i can't stop thinking about steve and bucky attending a party and not knowing each other, and one of them being the foolish guy who is plied with too much alcohol and slowly yet steadily gets stuffed throughout the night as people put things in his mouth and he just mindlessly eats everything he's even without question, and the other (your choice on who's who) is a repeat customer. Whereas everyone else comes by once, maybe twice and plays with his belly and feeds him food and tells him he's a good boy, the other guy comes WAY too often, giving him shots and bottles of beer and hand-feeding him so much food and getting to see first hand how big and stuffed and swollen his gut gets throughout the night, and is the one to give him belly rubs when he drunkenly whines at the pain 😳

This post

SWEATING thinking about Steve swinging past Bucky again, affectionately thumping him on the swollen belly and asking, "how's it going, champ? You full, yet?" causing Bucky to curl desperately around his bulging gut with a wordless, strung-out whine. His needy noise is so loud that Steve can't hear the solid, deep sound of his palm smacking him so... he has to do it again. Just a few more times to be sure, listening instead of the drum of his belly, to how his whine changes pitch, higher and hotter, as he's thumped like Steve's at the store testing the ripeness of the melons. He can't squirm to get away, though, he's long past that, so he just has to sit there, shivering and complaining with his incoherent sounds.

Bucky's just so sensitive! He has to whine that loud! It hurts! His whole belly throbs, feeling like it's on fire, so stretched that his skin is taut, pink, and shiny. He can't fit anything more inside him. Fuck, he can't think about anything more than his stomach. He's so stuffed and so fucking drunk that he doesn't even remember Steve. He peers at him through his eyelashes without recollection. Sloppy drunk. He can't place his face, but he's real handsome.

He doesn't remember anything that Steve's done to him. Again and again.

He doesn't know what Steve's come by time after time whereas everyone else has just had one go around. Steve's shoved so many snacks into his lazy-open lips. More than anyone else has by far. He doesn't know that it's been Steve constantly taking empty red solo cups from his weak fingers and replacing them with cups so full that they're almost spilling, sticky and wet down his wrist onto the poor sofa he's suffocating with his weight. He doesn't know and he doesn't care. Bucky just thinks that Steve is checking up on him, being a little rough. It's too bad Bucky's lips are too loose from drinking to say anything. He just whines more. Steve's smacks and gropes are nothing he can't handle... for now.

Steve gives himself an invitation, "that so?" he asks after another glutted whine from Bucky, tracing the thick curve of his ball belly. Bucky groans this time, panting. "Mm-hm, yeah, you're good, just look at you," he murmurs.

Bucky thinks this guy is talking more to himself than to Bucky. Somehow he doesn't mind. His belly pulses and hurts but it's better when Steve's touching him, when -

"Ohhhh," Bucky whimpers, dirty, when suddenly Steve finds his weak spot, his fingers hot and warm and thick as they trace the rim of his belly button, not dipping in. Not yet. Bucky can't believe how sensitive he feels right there. He can't breathe. It's the weight of all the food and drink inside him, it's the anticipation, it's the pain, it's - "guhhh!" He moans as Steve pushes the tip of his pointer finger into his tightly stretched, shallow belly button.

He's touching him like he's fingering him.

Oh.

It feels obscene and good and Bucky is pretty sure blindingly suddenly that if he doesn't come right the fuck now from having his taut, heavy belly fondled and his belly button fingered while he reclines, totally slouched into the couch, limp, he'll just explode instead. There's so much pressure. He's so tight. And Steve's touching him like that, fingering his belly button with one hand and using the other to scratch his strained skin so lightly, tickling, pushing his skin-tight shirt up to the sweaty fold under his pecs and sweatier armpits and Bucky is gonna come. He's, he's so big.

How did he get so big? Has everyone been feeding him? Has everyone been taking turns to stuff him like he's a centerpiece, gluttonous and entertaining? Is everyone watching Steve touch him? Does everyone know he's this much of a glutton that he's gonna bust a nut from nearly bursting!?

Oh, God!

[divine-misfortune]

GUHHH CONSDIER RULTI

BUT THERES CORSETS

GO FUCKING CRAZY

Unsafe corset practices for breathplay reasons below oops-

"Beautiful."

Swiss sighed as his fingers danced over the water ghoul's waist. Chin perched on his shoulder, he savored the reflection of Rain pressed against him. Dark hair fell down over his bare shoulders like spilled ink, and Swiss wanted to gather the loose curls in between his fingers and bury himself in them. Greedy to drown in the heavenly scent of petrichor and foxglove that clung to Rain's pale skin.

"You always say that." Rain tipped his head back with a laugh and Swiss hungrily took in the sight of his throat laid bare. He ran his tongue over his teeth to soothe the overwhelming urge to bite and claim.

"Because you're always beautiful." He mumbled and kissed the space between his gills. Grinning as Rain shuddered, the heat of his exhale so close to such a sensitive part of him surely sent a trill of excitement up his spine.

Another laugh. Light and a bit bubbly, softer this time, reminded him of seafoam. He'd listen to it forever.

Rain was stunning. Clean white fabric embraced the gentle curves of his body, it held him like it existed solely to selfishly hide every beautiful inch of him and it took more restraint than Swiss cared to admit to not tear through the soft cotton. His dress seemed to glow in the light, something about it almost made him look divine. Pristine. Unsullied.

His mouth watered.

"Are you gonna lace me up, or are we going to be late to practice again?" Rain asked, reaching to cup Swiss' cheek. He nuzzled into his hand and chuckled as he drummed his fingers against the steel boning on his waist.

"And so what if we're late again? You didn't complain last time."

"Just don't need another hour long lecture from Copia about punctuality..."

"As if you were paying attention to a word he said. I'm sure you were too busy thinking about how I was still dripping out of you-" Rain's tail smacked against his ankle to interrupt him. His reflection displayed narrowed eyes and a faint purple hue in his cheeks. It only spurred him on. There was nothing more satisfying than getting under Rain's skin. "What's wrong rainbow? Don't like hearing the dirty truth?"

"Shut up," he rolled his eyes and let his hand fall away from Swiss' face. "Do what I asked or I'll get Mountain to."

Swiss raised an eyebrow and stood fully. Rain looked so much smaller than him when he stood at full height. Dainty, like a doll. He noted that Rain's annoyance faltered when he registered the look on his face. He swallowed with a bit of a click as Swiss took the laces on the back of his corset. He was silent as he threaded and tugged at the long length of ribbon until he got to pull it taut. When he did, Rain hissed and was yanked back against his chest by the force of it.

"Fuck-! Too tight, asshole!" The water ghoul snapped but Swiss made no move to right the problem. In all honesty, he made a show of pulling it tighter.

"Shut up." He growled and Rain went rigid at the tone of his voice, "did you forget who you're talking to?"

"I-"

"You don't tell me what to do, remember?"

"Yes." He shrunk, nervously taking fistfuls of his skirt in either hand.

"Yes, what?"

"Yes sir!" Rain practically squeaked out, gaze falling to the floor. A proper flush flooding his face.

Swiss smiled to himself as he tugged on the ribbons, listening to the slight labor of his breaths. Rain made a soft sound somewhere between a whimper and a whine and he rested his palms back on the now exaggerated curve of his waist.

"Tight isn't it?" Rain nodded slowly, cautiously. "I could keep it just like this, baby. You wanted it tied, I tied it. I wonder how long you'll last like this. You can breathe just fine, can't you princess?"

"Pressing on my gills too much."

"But you can breathe?"

"Er...Yes sir."

His smile only widened, devious in nature.

"Pretty thing." The multi ghoul's voice lilted towards something playful despite the fact his gaze was far more predatory than anything. "Think you can even focus like this?"

He opened his mouth to respond but the words escaped him. He couldn't, Swiss knew he couldn't. Rain could already feel his brain starting to scramble itself to Swiss' liking. If Swiss had gone and pressed his fingers into his windpipe, it would've sent him headfirst into a more pliant state, this felt far more gradual. The pressure around his rib cage, while not crushing, was still restrictive. It left him with the same faint fuzzy feeling behind his eyes. Part of him wanted to protest but he knew that his arguments mattered little to the multi ghoul.

If Swiss wanted him to struggle, he'd struggle.

"That's what I thought." He laughed and tied off the remaining length of ribbon in a neat little bow as if he'd made the decision for Rain. And in a way, he had. It was what Swiss wanted after all. "You've gotten quite a smart mouth lately, think it'll do you good to remember that you're only smart because I let you be. Gonna spend some time as my good doll today, just pretty and dumb, alright?"

There was a pause, a brief glimpse of softness in Swiss' reflection. A touch of concern in the way he looked at him. His alright was a genuine question that cut through the little bit of fog already working it's way behind Rain's eyes. It was sweet to see his firm mask slip for just an instant. He melted back against his chest, allowing Swiss to wrap his arms around his middle.

"Yes sir." He repeated again, quieter, as he turned his face to catch Swiss in a kiss despite the awkward angle. That smile was gentle against his lips.

[himebushou]

Okay, I think this is happening -- I've been drawn in and I'm now rewatching The Prince of Tennis.

Thoughts on Episodes 2 through to 6 below.

Ep 2 - Samurai Junior

Inoue appears! This guy is so important for the audience as he explains so much tennis teminology to us (at Shiba's expense, whoops) but the fact that he works for a (presumably) well-known tennis magazine yet spends so much time covering the middle school scene is... odd. Like, he's there for the entirety of Seigaku's ranking tournament? What about the other Kanto schools?

HE TALKS ABOUT NANJIROU and says how Nanjirou 'might have even won the Grand Slam'. To my memory, Nanjiroh was one match away from becoming World No. 1 (is that possible without winning a slam?) but suddenly quit because, y'know. The boy.

Ryoma does this lil glower after the first time he meets Momo and it's so funny, lol

Ryoma's contrary nature is RIDICULOUS. Arai demands that the freshmen introduce themselves, which the Ichinen Trio do, but Ryoma? Just stands there. Like, CHILD. He asked for your name! these are not state secrets!

So of course, we have the whole thing with Arai trying to con the freshmen and Ryoma gets pretty mad about Arai trying to fleece the freshmen -- he gets pretty heroic (?) about the whole thing and, with it, very bratty: "If I hit the can 100x, do I get 100,000 yen?"

Then Momo is there and it really seems like he just wants to beat Ryoma up!

Rather adorably, Horio umpires the Ryoma v. Momo match. When Ryoma's about to serve, the Triple Counter OST starts playing (I really don't remember any of the titles from the OST -- except Yuugure -- but I'm sure everyone knows what I mean). It's very cool.

Tomo-chan sees Ryoma serve ONCE and calls him Ryoma-sama -- MY GIRL.

And then we get our first Nanjiroh appearance! And it turns out that he even has an umpire's chair at the temple, so? Who is umpiring his games against Ryoma? Nanako? RINKO??

Ryoma also tells the Ichinen Trio that he learnt to play tennis at a temple. Um. Ryoma is a big liar because he has only lived in front of said temple for about 5 minutes. What a DORK. In the best way!

(The temple is absolutely gorgeous by the way.)

Ep. 3 - The Seigaku Regulars Make Their Debut!

Man -- so we see Sakuno and Tomo-chan in one of the classrooms overlooking the courts and they comment on how cool the team is -- and then the camera pans up to Tezuka who's on the floor above, watching silently and I just enjoyed that so much. Like, at this stage, Tezuka is a bit of a mystery, so it's so fun!

Then Horio brags about how strong Momo is and Ryoma spends an eternity tying his shoelaces. Many moons ago (we're talking about 15 years ago, at least), I read this blog post about how much screentime is dedicated to Ryoma TYING HIS LACES and, honestly, I've never been able to get that post out of my head. Truly incredible stuff.

Guhhh I hate the obsession with heirarchy at Seigaku... Hyoutei and Rikkaidai are a heck of a lot more flexible, whoops.

Oishi! Beloved Oishi! Until he gets to the courts, the freshmen are just running around doing Tasks -- then Oishi arrives and tells them to practice playing because he wants them to get a good feel for the way things run at Seigaku. And it's so heart-warming! Oishi recognises that these kids are there because they want to have fun and he does these little things throughout the early eps to build camaraderie -- like when the freshmen are cheering for Seigaku in episode 8 or 9, Oishi teases, "Freshmen, we can't hear you!" and it's just... wow. Oishi's not there to pull rank: he's there to encourage the team. Tezuka honestly could not have had a better VC.

(I'm honestly just loving this so much... everyone's regarding Ryoma as this potential problem and sussing him out and being in this privileged position of knowing how much this team will grow to love him -- and how much he'll grow to love them -- is really special. It's really incredible to see this journey again.)

Arai behaves like a dork, gets scolded by Tezuka and told to run laps, questions this, and is then told to run more laps. Ryoma just dutifully runs his laps without any argument (the slight contradictions in his personality are so funny -- like he will sometimes rail against authority and, at other times, just accept it without question).

Come to think of it... Ryoma and Gon Freeccs get pretty similar treatment, I think, in that we don't get a look-in at their literal thoughts? Compare that to how often we're in Killua's head, for example, or Inui's or Oishi's or whoever's and... it's a very interesting way of storytelling.

Eps 4 & 5 - The One Named Viper & Snake Shot

AND SO, THE RANKING TOURNAMENT IS UNDERWAY.

Man, there are so many girls watching the ranking tournament? The tennis club is so popular lol

WE SEE RINKO FOR THE FIRST TIME. Of course, her face isn't shown, but!! She's there!

Ryoma's match against Kaidoh is a lot of fun. Momo's on standby to provide commentary to the Ichinen Trio (and they correctly determine that he's so knowledgeable about Kaidoh's playstyle on account of having lost to Kaidoh, which is hilarious). Ryoma impresses everyone by pulling off his own version of the Snake Shot -- the Buggy Whip Shot! -- and phew, good stuff. There's a lot of technical tennis talk.

(I hate how Kaidoh hurts himself at the end of the match. Both Kaidoh and Sanada need to be seen by school counsellors or something.)

I love seeing Ryoma get squashed by the Ichinen Trio -- he looks slightly bewildered, haha.

Ep 6 - That Man, Echizen Nanjirou

OOFT, probably my favourite episode so far! Nanjirou has become my second favourite in The Prince of Tennis (no prizes for guessing my favourite) and this episode is wonderful.

Inoue barges over to the Echizen house and ends up playing a game with Nanjirou -- the stipulation is that Nanjirou will only answer Inoue's questions if Inoue manages to get a point past him. Despite this, Nanjirou ends up telling Inoue a lot: he explains that he quit his pro career because playing with the 'impudent' Ryoma is a heck of a lot more fun than playing his pros and geez, Nanjirou loves his son SO MUCH. Nanjirou also explains that Ryoma's tennis style is currently identical to his and, to go further, there are some things Ryoma has to achieve. We get to see some of Nanjirou's skill.

The only question Nanjirou doesn't answer is when Inoue suggests that Ryoma's being trained to go pro. Nanjirou's pretty dismissive of this idea (AND WE KNOW WHY! YAHOO!).

Ryoma has a conversation with Sakuno and says that he doesn't know when he started playing tennis -- it's been part of his life for as long as he can remember and he couldn't quite even if he wanted to because there's something he has to do. So, once again, this episode sets up one of the major themes/conflicts of The Prince of Tennis.

(It turns out that the temple is behind the Echizen's house! Nanako -- the sweetheart -- explains that the monk is currently on a retreat and that Nanjirou just made a court without permission. This is one interaction I desperately want more information on.)

So... yeah. I'm genuinely having a whale of a time.

i have been. debating sending this bc i know i am cringe. op i am so sorry feel free to ignore and delete bc this is just actual pure filth lmfaooo

op i literally think about pegging leon 24/7 its a full time JOB inside my brain i need to peg that man so fucking Bad its not even funny. i know hes so fucking Noisy. i wanna make him beg for my strap, i wanna fucking edge him until hes begging and crying to be fucking ruined. i wanna pretty him up, put eyeliner on him so i can make it run down his face from fucking him so hard. i wanna mark up his neck and pull his hair while i pulverize him. i wanna tell him hes taking it so well and how hes such a good boy, how pretty he looks bent over for me while i fuck his cute ass. i want him to hug me while i praise him bc hes so overwhelmed. tell him how hot it is hearing him moan and whine, encourage him to make as much noise as he wants, itd be cute to watch him try to not pillow bite because hes trying sooo hard to do what you want like a good boy. i want him to be borderline Incomprehensible, voice shaking and cracking as he tells me how much he loves me, how much he loves the way i make him feel. i wanna make him cum untouched. i wanna overstimulate him. i wanna grope his fat tits and milk his dick. i wanna make him watch himself getting fucked. put him in a collar, lingerie, fuck anything-hed be gorgeous no matter what he wears. shower him in kisses and affection and make him feel the most loved he has in his entire LIFE while short circuiting his brain n marking him with bites and bruises for everyone to see.

Another hc is I think Shinji loses a lot of weight during the 2 years just cuz he isn’t getting enough to eat and he’s getting sicker and then when he’s recovering he has to take a lot of time to be able to move again so he’s definitely not doing much strenuous activity and he regains weight slowly. I think what is able to really help him both gain weight and learn to be nicer to himself is he makes food that he himself would enjoy (its a long journey cuz he’s not used to being nice to himself and he’s very crabby about it lol) and I like to imagine him having a sweet tooth and liking cookies and cake a lot and he gets chubbier over time and Akihiko is like over the moon cuz Shinji is taking care of himself and it’s showing!

Then Mitsuru um because of fucked up angsty reasons shes had to prioritize her appearance a lot, a whole metaphor for keeping up a facade so she doesn’t reflect badly on the company, and she always is very controlling of what she eats and how it’d make her look. She also puts a lot of effort into her hair and makeup to keep up a perfect image of femininity. Then like during her social link she’s with Kotone just kinda exploring common shit for the first time and she develops a love of fast food and it frightens her cuz like. What’s happening to her she isn’t allowed to have this kinda indulgence and she certainly isn’t allowed to enjoy it either. But she’s supported and encouraged to let herself eat whatever she wants and she just explores a lot of options and eats what she likes even if it’s not some perfect shit that keeps her skinny I think Kotone and Yukari would collectively be like PLEEASSEEE DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY IF ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING WE WILL MURDER THEM WE HAVE OUR WEAPONS DRAWN. So Mitsuru gets fatter and also stops wearing makeup too and it’s very scary cuz she’s always had it ingrained in her that this is the last thing she’s allowed to be but she also feels her body and looks at her natural face and she finally feels like her body is her own and she loves what she’s made

Obviously we gotta have Shinji and Mitsuru bond over their new food revelations it’s part of repairing some strain in their relationship I think Shinji can definitely be pretentious about food and would probably have negative opinions of fast food like he’ll eat it cuz sometimes you just can’t cook but hes snarky about it. But when he sees Mitsuru likes it she figures he’s got something snarky to say and he’s just like "uh actually knowing what you’ve gone through I’d be pissed if you didn’t eat fast food let’s go get some borgers". He does make some of his own shit occasionally though like burgers and fries for Mitsuru to have and it’s a nice gesture but it just doesn’t capture the ENERGY of wild duck burger 🙄. Shinji would melt anyone if they said that though alsjka. Mitsuru in return would get Shinji some fancy ingredients and any special sweets that are all expensive (even though I strongly believe the happiest ending for Mitsuru is one where she isn’t really a part of the Kirijo group family anymore let’s just say she still has a way to get yummy snack akjsks). They candy is always really strange and tastes like shit 8/10 times and Shinji will eat all of it anyway and he will not share

Basically Shinji 🤝 Mitsuru: gaining weight and exploring what foods they like for the first time as a way of showing they’re recovering

i’ve thought ab this with shinji constantly (i’m not sure the oversized clothes i put him in have ever properly showed it tho 😭) but i’ve never imagined it with mitsuru !! i definitely draw mitsuru a bit thicker than she actually is but ive never put much thought behind it besides it looks better to me LMFAO … now i will have a reason to continue drawing her this way and more…

in general, the whole “gaining weight to signify growth” oh i could collapse i fear … literally the most perfect & beautiful hc for any fandom…

& guhhh i seriously seriously am in love w shinji & mitsu friendship so much. i always love to think about the respect they have for each other and how they can alwyas just get together if they want to chill … falls to my knees. them getting food together and it’s whatever they want bc they’re becoming so secure in their lives … ……. no judgement just vibes. post canon shinji lives au, i love u so much…

also the bits w aki, kotone, & yukari … clenches fist. sniffle. this is kind of in relation to all of sees but it works here so i’ll mention it: their entire group vehemently protecting each other even tho they’re all fully capable of doing so on their own (except probably fuuka & ken to an extent) is actually just a god tier level thought. big family ..

+ i love that u send such long asks Thank you so much… you’ve already said everything so i feel like there’s not much for me to add !! but i love this so much… 🫶🫶

guhhh i'm yapping but i've been brainrotting rossum again.

rossum and thunderclash yeag uh. I've been thinking about them meeting sometime before the war - thunderclash was around other medical students at the time. then they re unite on the lost light. Thunderclash is there to get help with quantum generators in one of the comics, i think he should have run into Rossum then. Why is rossum on the lost light? uhhhh he disguised himself as an autobot after finding out he lived through. his head being crunched. and stowed away there until he just simply assimilated fine.

shenanigans

Rossclash my love I missed it so much thank you for the soup I have literally nothing but you and I sending our brainrotted brainwaves back and forth

We've been working for weeks on this project. Long hours, late nights. It's due tonight...and we're still working. Spending so much time together, we've gotten close. Eating meals, sharing laughs, lamenting the hours spent dealing with this thing. Time is running out. We have to get it done. You'd be lying to yourself if you hadn't been thinking about me recently. The way I make you laugh, the soft compliments, the light touches on your arm or our knees touching when we sit close. Once or twice, you've even caught yourself staring at my crotch, trying to catch the outline of my cock.

Maybe it's the stress or the long hours, but your mouth is watering staring at me work. The office is dark and quiet. No one will be in for hours. Your cunt throbs the more you think about me. You've never felt this way about a man before.

"Fuck..." you whisper to yourself, your hand sliding between your legs, rubbing yourself. The thought of cock is taking over. You've been fighting it for so long, but you can't resist.

Popping open the top two buttons on your top, you walk over to my desk and bend over. With your pretty cleavage in my face, my cock jumps.

"Heeeeey...." you say with a smile. "Since, we're almost done...why don't we, I dunno, help you relieve some stress."

Reaching down, you grab my cock through my pants and gasp. It's even bigger than you had dreamed.

"But..but i thought...you were...y'know..." I smirk.

"Not tonight," you tell me, biting your lip. "Tonight I'm your stress relief." You eagerly unbuckle my belt, hands shaking. You can't believe what you're doing, but the urge is too strong.

"Holy fuck," you whisper as you pull out my thick, hard cock. You've only seen one or two in real life, but not like this. You've never actually sucked one before, but you desperately need it down your throat right now. Not wanting to show your inexperience, you try to take all of my dick down your throat, bobbing your head up and down rapidly. GUUH GUHH GUHHH GAARGHH

You gag violently, choking loudly, spit flying everywhere.

"FUCK!" I shout at the surprisingly aggressive blowjob.

Gasping for air, you try again, slurping greedily, trying to imitate the straight porn you started watching for the first time last week.

Tears well in your eyes as you take more and more, your tongue swirling around the shaft. Your hand slides down, plunging into your dripping wet pussy, massively turned on at finally sucking cock.

Placing my hand on the back of your head, I force you to take all of it. You try to scream, but your mouth is too full. You get light-headed, seeing stars. A little fear takes over. You might actually pass out from cock.

Finally, I release, and you gasp for air. Still hungry, you excitedly lick and suck on my balls, trying to fit them both in your mouth. Your wet pussy gets louder and louder as you finger fuck yourself harder and harder.

We're both close. You can feel it.

Suddenly, I stand up, and push you back, pinning your wrists to the desk. Shoving my cock back in to mouth, I fuck your throat. It's a dream come true for you, being used like this, forced to take my cock. Grinding against my shoe, you fuck yourself against the expensive leather. Spit flying everywhere, you gag loudly as your lips press against me, finally achieving your goal of taking every single inch of cock and becoming what you've always wanted.

"FUCK FUCK FUCK I'M GONNA FUCKING CUM!" I groan.

Shot after shot after shot after shot of hot, sticky cum gushes in your mouth. It takes so good, better than you would have ever imagined. It's so hot, you can't help but cum all over my shoe, gushing hard, moaning as you gulp down every last drop of my cum.

After a minute, I pull my cock back into my pants and zip up. You close your shirt and sit back at your desk. It's not long before we finish the project and quietly say our goodbyes.

You can't wait for the next project to start in a couple of days.

😳

(Part 1) What do you think of the 'vampire bond' thing? At first I thought it was just a BS excuse Louis invented rather than admit he truly loved Lestat, but Sam & Jacob mentioned it in interviews like it's a legit thing - they may just be playing along but idk. Imo It's natural for ppl to bond through such life-altering experiences & Loustat were in love already, but IF there's a supernatural aspect to it, it's more complex than he claims. Maybe the bond magnifies whatever is already there?

Hmmm. So.

*cracks knuckles*

First off, I do think it is an expression of them being connected by love. Lestat made Louis in love, that bonds them quite differently than Magnus and Lestat (as an extreme example.) (That is the romantic explanation^^)

And there is a blood connection. There is this musing in the books, where Lestat theorizes, that master and fledgling cannot hear each other directly because they're simply too close - the blood is too similar. They are running mental interference on each other. (That is the err.... "scientific" explanation^^)

Now, nonny, I don't know how much you know of the books. BUT - vampires are connected by a cord, the silver cord, as Louis (!) later calls it... this silver cord is the spirit that propels them and that is a wide net in a way. This spirit, Amel, has a bigger part in the last three books, and this silver cord is an important aspect (and Louis' part in the story a bit bigger again).

When Lestat says they're connected by a cord (for the vampire bond)... now believe me, but I squealed^^ (and his insistence on it, guhhh^^). That wording was no coincidence, imho. And we know that the Prince Lestat arc is part of the writer's awareness / consciousness at the very least (as the dance is very much proof of, and several interviews refer to Prince Lestat, too). (That is the later book canon explanation^^)

So where does that leave us?

I think it is a combination of all three factors, but the wording of it is no coincidence imho, not in a show like this.

I have theorized about that before, but Amel might even play into the events of episode 5 - we are working on a condensed timeline, and Amel's coming to consciousness was a violent and bloody one. He literally drove several vampires to extreme violence. (The "nature" comment is still a bit weird to me there, no matter how it happened.)

So... we'll see I guess.

The "silver cord" is too big an event in later books to skip (if we get there, fingers crossed) - this will show up again.

And as such the cord, no matter how the combination of all the factors works - but the cord, the bond... is real.

Shark for the ask meme?

YEEEAAA 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

Why I like them/why I don’t: guhhh he isnt making me AS crazy as he did last year but make no mistake i think too hard about shark and i start running circles in the backyard. his character arc, starting out as this meanass bully and then growing to become a trustworthy and relentless dedicated friend (and then how that later is part of what leads him to fight even more passionately for his fellow Barian emperors) is really one of my favorites, i LOVE his dynamic with yuma so so much. and i love that yugioh really said "ok for this one we're making the rival archetype character actually aligned with the 'villain' faction" like that shit goes CRAZY HARD. SHARK HAS SPECIES INTERNAL CONFLICT. HIS IDENTITY ISSUES ARE BANANAS. HE EFFECTIVELY HAS TO PLAY THE TRUE 'FINAL' BAD GUY DUEL. THERES SO MUCH TOO HIM AND IT RULES!!! LOVE YOU REGINALD 'SHARK' KASTLE

What I like about their appearance: people rag on his hair but i like it.... i love how the pale blue bangs look like a crown, it's a fun little hint to Nasch. Also i love his stupid white shoes?? Withcthe emeralds on them??!?! OK RICH BOY.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names? i do love that they kept Shark as a nickname in both versions... honestly i like both of his names, ryouga is just a really cool name in general and reginald is Fucking Devastating. Slash Pos.

OTP: idk if i really have A shark ship i feel particularly strong about.... shark/yuma is nice, like i said i like their dynamic a lot i think it can be fun to think about as a messy little high school relationship lol.

NOTP: again shark/kite get that shit out of here WHY DO YOU WANT KITE TO DATE A MIDDLE SCHOOLERRRRR

OT3: ok yuma/shark/vector is really fucking funny i have to admit. two guys dedicated to yuma and also who want to beat the shit out of each other at any given opportunity.

Favourite card they use: Nasch's Barian cards are so fucking cool but I think my favorite Shark card is. um. Submersible Carrier Aero Shark. Literally what the fuck is this reginald. fish autism is so cool

Favourite moment they were in: the early zexal I shark and yuma tag duel against those gang member guys is still sooo special to me... shark taking that first step to letting friendship into his heart... wahhhh.

Least favourite moment: the like three seperate moments and lifetimes they really just made Rio suffer just to further Shark's ailments. I LOVE DOOMED SIBLINGS BUT FUCKING COME ONNNNN

Something I associate with them: Shark Serenade by Vermillion Lies..... waaughhhhhh

[youvebeenclaypuppingtoned]

Tbh the line where rimmer and captain hollister are stuck together on the ship is. (I'm squealing yes rn)

Like if rimmer was hologram and captain alive?? (They don't have the most word count I don't care this is happening idgaf!!)

Captain having to navigate around rimmer, the two always being on opposite sides of the ship, rimmer randomly being transported to the room where hollister is because his 'job is to keep him sane', rimmer feeling like he's going insane while doing his job

Funny thing is I think rimmer would ACCEPT THIS quicker than the captain. Only thing is he hasn't come to terms with that the captain utterly despises him yet. The only way they'd have word count is through anger from hollister to rimmer, and rimmer feeling excited to talk to him.

I believe that when rimmers thoughts finally catch up to him, realising the captain hates him, realising he was never well liked and shouldn't be on this ship still - because everything was a reminder. He would sit and talk to himself about random things, sitting in his bunkroom, muttering that he wished that another person had been put here again, how he wished the captain actually gave a smeg, that Lister had a better relation to the captain than he ever would.

I'm not ready to even think about Hollister and rimmer coming to terms with that rimmer killed the entire crew oh my god. Oh my god.

Guhhh I hate this and no this is not romantic also yes u can respond w ur own hcs if u wish
