☆ ★ ✮ ★ ☆☆ ★ ✮ ★ ☆☆ ★ ✮ ★ ☆☆ ★ ✮ ★ ☆

You were in the hospital room with your newborn daughter Layla who was born at 5:00 am today. Even though she was just born she already resembled Izzy. She had his eyebrows, nose, and lips. She had your hair color. If you put Izzy and Layla side by side they looked the same. She was cooing in your arms. Izzy was mesmerized and fascinated by her. She had her little hat and gloves on. Once Izzy got to hold her he felt a feeling he’d never felt. Something got him protective of his newborn daughter when he held her in his arms for the first time. She was so sweet, so innocent so gentle. Izzy wanted to be there for her for any occasion in her life. Later on, when you were discharged you got home and put Layla in her crib. Weirdly enough she wasn’t a crier. You were worried she wasn’t crying much. She must have her father's mood and aura you think to yourself. You giggled at your thought. Izzy called Axl and let him know that Layla was born safely this morning. Axl called the rest of the guys and let them know. They were all so happy and excited they wanted to visit your small family to see how you were doing. 

“Babe, let me hold her, you just take care of yourself and rest. You have to recover from birth.” Izzy said, smiling as he gently rocked Layla, his new baby girl in his arms. 

He gently kissed your forehead and hand and he repeated the same with his daughter. He softly hummed a melody he was working on to Layla. Soon enough there was a knock on the door. It was Axl Steven Slash and Duff. They all had bought something for Layla. Slash and Duff bought clothes. Steven and Axl had bought baby toys for Layla. 

They saw you resting on your bed and they didn’t want to disturb you because they knew how exhausted you were. Axl usually is all rowdy as were the rest of the guys but they knew they had to be careful and quiet with Layla. 

“What did you both name her?” Axl asked quietly to Izzy. 

“Her name is Layla,” Izzy said with a proud smile. 

“Hi Layla,” Slash said, holding Layla's tiny hand. 

“Can I hold her?” Duff asked.

Duff himself was expecting a daughter with his girlfriend Susan. 

“Sure. Make sure to support her head” Izzy said gently handing Layla to Duff. 

“You all get a turn holding her if you want,” Izzy said.

Layla cooed softly.

“She looks so much like you, Izzy,” Steven says, comparing Layla and Izzy. 

“Yep, my genes took over,” Izzy said proudly.

“Hey maybe My daughter and your daughter will be best friends” Duff giggled looking down at Layla and then Izzy. 

“I want to hold her,” Steven said.

“Sure. Hold her the same way Duff held her. 

“Yeah,” Steven said gently, grabbing Layla and cradling her in his arms. She could sense Steven’s voice and she giggled. 

“Holy shit she just giggled,” Steven said surprised.

“Wow I didn’t even know newborns could giggle,” Slash said. 

“I wanna hold Layla,” Axl said. 

Axl didn’t seem like the type of guy to want kids. The truth is he wanted kids of his own so badly. He longed for kids but that didn’t end up happening for him yet. Steven passed Layla to Axl and he felt a sense of awe wash over him. She watched Axl with her eyes and smiled quickly. Even though she was just born she felt safe in everyone’s arms. Slash was next and he held on for dear life. He was clumsy and he didn’t want to hurt Layla so he made sure to sit while holding her.

“She is so tiny. Damn, I wonder what my kids are going to look like” Slash said giggling. 

Layla was passed down to Izzy. Layla had him wrapped around his finger. Layla felt so much love as a newborn. She already had everyone’s affection before she was even born.

In which occasion do you think Carlie would safe word in yours!verse??

Like I feel if he ever thought he was doing something max might not enjoy or if he thought he was ACTUALLY hurting him he would use his safe word, but I’m curious to see your take on this cause I loved “red yellow green”, and I would love to know what you think would be the situation in which Charlie uses his safe word

Well yeah if he got the feeling something was wrong with Max obviously he'd safeword, but I also think there would probably be times where he just kind of gets in his own head about it and he feels like he's a shit person because he's 'hurting' Max or smth like it's natural for your brain to sometimes be like 'love of my life is crying because of me, logically that's bad and ergo I am a terrible person' and freak out in the middle of things

But also naturally sometimes someone simply isn't in the right state of mind or mood to go through with a scene, like if Max is looking for trouble and Charles can tell, but he doesn't really feel in the right headspace for it he'd just say yellow and tell Max that so they can figure out if they just want to have sex without Charles being mean or just some chill sex without the dom/sub part, or he'd say red and they just do something else entirely and leave the sex for tomorrow

Or there are times where you think you want something and then turns out you don't like it, like maybe Max is into something and Charles would probably use yellow to just say like um, I love you, but it's a no for me

Or sometimes things probably just go too fast and they're stumbling on something new in the middle of things and you feel like it's too much and too fast and you can't do this new thing without talking about it first so you'd use yellow, or if you're like woah panic, you'd use red I guess

And also I think they both have days where they're just absolutely insatiable and their sex drives just do not match up and it's the fifth fucking time today and 'honest to god Max I love you so much but red because my dick is about to fall off, go jerk off by yourself' and it's not even serious, it's just a thing to laugh about really (although I think that one probably happens the other way around more often lol)

Like idk whether I'll actually write more about it or not, but I also feel the need to mention that safewords obviously do have this potential for being a nice thing to base a more serious scene around and explore some heavier emotions, but it also gives them this rep in fic of always being this big, heavy thing when I think sometimes they aren't, like they don't always need to be accompanied by a massive breakdown, they can just be used casually to check if everyone is fine or to stop and do something else without it being the end of the world

[cheeseburgersinparadise]

I need to encourage someone. Enable them. Ask them to eat more for me as I touch them, make them moan so I can push another bite in their mouth. I need to worship their straining belly and praise them for eating so well. I need to make them desperate to eat more, always more, to gain access to my affection, my touch, my body. I need to delight in making someone huge.

[syoddeye]

idk. i am tired of people wanting painfully straightforward stories with big bold letters to tell them when something is 'bad' or 'good'. no nuance or depth because they might choke on or drown in it. or god forbid, they might have to think. they want to have their hand held every step of the way. for authors to walk them line by line through every fic like an unpaid tour guide or professor teaching a 101. and they want easy, quippy answers to complicated questions—questions being asked and discussed for the millionth time, whose discussions may predate their existence—and they want answers yesterday. boggles my mind.

edit: in case it wasn't clear, this is about outrage re: dark fic.

Ok, let's rip off the band aid right away... I did very much go overboard with this.... there will be at least two more parts of this..

they are basically done, I just fear I can't polish all of them tonight. That's why they gonna come in parts... (and I still have not done the #9 hat part here ok, this is why i say AT LEAST)

How could you do this to me, I am such a sucker for Disney AUs, I had no chance guys.. No, don't be sorry, personally I love all of it...

@oxandthorn I am very jealous of your way of drawing Hoshina, I couldn't pull it of the same way, your version will always be precious to me.. *slaps this on table* BUT ANYWAY here you go. Imma continuing the other two parts now.

@mechazushi you'll have to wait for #9 hat for a bit longer sorry, but I feel I'm gonna come up with a good one on that too :3

[outlying-hyppocrate]

Hi hi <3

I've been rewatching TDJ and rereading the fic (yes I'm on a marathon) and I was seriously wondering how I would feel about the The Trial Live Show (I think that's the name?? I forgot) if I was inside the drama universe. And I admit that despite wanting to believe that I would have a critical opinion about this whole situation, honestly with all the injustice in the world I would probably just be relieved that someone had a effective attitude and influence on everything that was happening.

What would it be your opinion if this all happened irl?

P.S (not related but I saw your other post about how some people have been pressuring – intentionally or not – for you to release the new chapter and complaining that is taking long. I just want to say that your only obligation is to take care of yourself and do what you want to do in your own time and limit. You've already given to us, readers, everything that you can and we appreciate all the effort and love that is put into your works. Thank you very very much.)

Hi! Now that's an interesting question! And it depends a lot on the context, I'd say.

Like, my view on the Live Court Show as the person I am right now is probably very different from how I'd view it if I'd actually grown up in that world. And the difference is a little too big for me to be able to account for all the nuances — and not only because I assume I'd have to change nationality, first of all? xD Which is a pretty big thing since the culture one grows up in can colour one's understanding of the world to a very big extent. My values and experiences would most likely be pretty different.

So while the me right now, in this world, can say that I would be VERY critical of the Live Court Show, I'm not sure I'd feel the same if I was actually IN that world. Me now am concerned not only about the popularity contest aspect that Lawyer Ko pointed out — which would only grow worse and worse the longer the show kept going. Like, people would form a bond with the people they saw the most — i.e. the judges — and not the people involved in the actual trials, who are literal strangers and not as interesting. Aside from the beauty and charm factor that Jin Joo mentions, most people would just end up siding with the familiar players they've formed a relationship with, regardless of the facts presented. If the judges were leaning in one direction, the majority of the public probably would as well.

I mean, just look at Judge Judy. Most people watch it for Judge Judy, not the people who come to her courtroom. They're side characters in her show, even if it's their lives that are being judged (literally).

And, adding to that, the general public aren't experts at law and don't really understand what a lot of the terms mean — or the repercussions of their choices. Their judgement is based almost solely on emotion. And there's a reason why jury members are sometimes excluded because they're seen as too partial, coloured by what the media have been saying or their own beliefs. It wouldn't be a fair and neutral trial. But here you have an entire population who have no such restrictions, nor do they have the time to fully study each piece of evidence or understand what is actually being said. They're asked to make a decision based solely on a couple of colourful PowerPoint presentations — within a couple of minutes, no less.

Like, I'm a librarian, yeah? (though I don't work at a library right now) And trust me when I say that the last thing we'd want is for the patrons to start putting the books back on the shelves on their own. They mean well, but sometimes there's stuff you have to do with the books before they can be reshelved, not to mention that most patrons don't actually understand the classification system. That's the librarian's job. So if the patrons were the ones to put the books back, a lot of them would end up in the wrong place and it'd be a complete mess within a couple of weeks. No one would find anything. And the librarians would now have to spend a significant amount of time reorganising and moving misplaced books, which is just terribly inefficient. Having patrons involved in the process actually makes it harder than if we'd just done it ourselves from the beginning.

And there's a danger of something similar happening with a court where the entire population can be on the jury. What if they make a mistake? Because they misjudged the situation? Or they couldn't be given all the evidence during the show's runtime? Also, while the drama never mentioned it, appeals are a thing. Do you really think that Ju Il Do didn't hire someone to start on his appeal as soon as he calmed down from the shock of the verdict in that first episode? Would the Live Court Show handle appeals, too? Or would that be dumped into the laps of other courts? And just how much weight would the people's judgement have in comparison to a regular court, which spends a lot more time scrutinising the evidence?

(I might be thinking too much about this, I know xD)

BUT, at the same time, it's easy for me — the person I am right now — to say that, because I'm privileged as fuck. I grew up poor, sure, (and perhaps have more accumulated trauma than average) but I'm comfortably middle class now. Adding to that, I'm white, living in Sweden, and am pretty comfortable with the gender I was assigned at birth. The worst forms of oppression I've faced are misogyny, some casual fatphobia, and the fear of homophobia (with me being married to another woman and all). But do note that I say "fear of homophobia," not actual homophobia. So, really, I'm not in a position to judge, ESPECIALLY not the ones living in the world they portray in The Devil Judge.

In fact, that's something I kept telling my wife as I explained the drama to her. My morals right now are not applicable to a world like that. I think the Live Court Show has a lot of flaws and Yo Han's actions shouldn't be condoned (cool motive — still murder) but if I had gone through the economic crisis they were experiencing? And the oppression they face every day? And probably wouldn't have been able to marry my wife since it seems to be a pretty conservative society?

I can't promise I wouldn't have been queueing up to join Yo Han xD

I DO think I'd still be hesitant to fully support the Live Court Show, though, and see the flaws I mentioned above (plus all the others I don't have time to get into right now) BUT my feeling of helplessness might just overpower that, had I grown up like Jin Joo or Ga On. That's not to say that I'd necessarily think it was okay (especially the outright illegal parts), but I could maybe look the other way, just because I was so frustrated.

So it's difficult to say for sure, but I'm fairly confident my stance would be different if I had grown up in a world like that. Right now, I have so much privilege that it's easy for me to take the high road and promote the morally upright solution, but if I had suffered through what they have? Not sure I would be as forgiving. And I think that's natural. There's only so much injustice we humans can endure before we start gathering up the pitchforks.

That said, I think it's still important to be aware of what is morally right and wrong. We might not always be able to follow what we know is the right path — that's human, especially when we are oppressed — just don't forget your way back.

So yeah. I hope that's a somewhat satisfying reply xD

And thank you so much for your kind words 💜 I know all that on an intellectual level, but it's not always easy to remember. Especially when I would genuinely love to be able to post more often and it frustrates me that I can't. I'm just as bummed out as you readers, believe me on that.

But, on that subject, I'm actually looking into decreasing my hours at work, at least temporarily, to hopefully make me less exhausted (which is another way I'm incredibly privileged — I can actually ASK for something like that (though I need a doctor's approval first)). So, maybe, I'll get some room to breathe and rest soon. Fingers crossed!

I am finally back in a sketching mood and getting my left-arm muscle-memory used to using my Cintiq and drawing in Photoshop. Am also still (still) working on the last bits of Ages because next year it will be TEN YEARS since I started that fic. And I intend to conclude it (part one, anyway) by (preferably before) 2024.
