#i don't think im cut out for relationships quite frankly

[lostinlovingrevery]

Logan howlett being gross please 🙏🙏

I so badly wanted to answer this all day but I was busy so thanks for your patience!! I may end up writing an actual drabble of him being nasty BUT since it's 10 and I need to be up by 5 am tomorrow I'm gonna give some headcanons out to keep you freaks (lovingly)(im a freak too otherwise i wouldn't be writing this) satisfied. Love you guys <3

if there's anything specific you want me to talk about, feel free to send an ask!

(logan judging me for putting his nastiness out there)

NSFW stuff under the cut. Beware. some of it's gross. :)

Lets start with what I said in that one post

Yes, Logan would fuck himself in every part of you if you let him

personally not big on anal myself but if you guys are down for that, he would definitely like to try it.

I think it's less of getting himself off or being attracted to it, like your elbow or knees

its more of being able to claim you more ways than one, his animalistic instinct REALLY kicks in on this. Scents probably play a part on this

IF you let him do the things he wants, you're gonna get treated SO GOOD afterwards, believe me. Satisfying his urges in the weird ways he gets em? You're an actual fucking angel to him

I've mentioned foot jobs before. I think honestly the foot job is probably what started this whole thing. It's a body part he never considered getting off from. It's until you guys were in your bedroom, hes walking around naked fresh from the shower and you get playful, reaching your feet out and messing with his cock. He was surprised how hard it made him and then when he cums he's like... "Now what else can I get off on?"

I almost mentioned scents. Logans so big on scents yall we established this. You smelling like him, him smelling like you.

When you're a little more settled in your relationship, he may start making comments on how good you smell after workouts, sex, etc. Its the pheromones man

You don't think much until you catch him straight up inhaling your workout clothes one day

He's a bit flustered over it

claims he didn't know what he was doing (he did) and that he was just getting ready to do laundry (he was not) (he went straight to your laundry with the goal of smelling that shit)

PANTY SNIFFER

Loves your panties and bras the most. Definitely will keep your used panties here and there. he does it discreetly, confidently. He's not so ashamed for you to find him sniffing your panties.

Nasty making out. big fan of this

he wants you both practically drooling into each other. can and will spit in your mouth and wants you to do the same

will make out with you with his cum in your mouth. He doesn't like his cum it's just the fact of it's you mixed with him.

He'll love it if you have each others essence and make out like that too.

It's not every time but sometimes he'll just get these urges to make you both messy as hell. spit and cum, hickeys, scratches etc etc

I've also said this before but period sex period sex period sex

He does not fucking care

Makes him a lil wild actually. Might scare you a bit.

If you initially don't want to do it, he'll leave it alone and eventually get needy enough he'll find excuses and then he founds out sex can help relieve periods and he's like

"I'm just tryna make you feel better baby"

When you finally give in his ecstatic

he will def be careful though. He truly doesn't want to hurt you. He's just a needy lil thing for you

Eating. you. out on your period.

I know, it's gross. But so is he.

The first happens on accident. He tastes it while eating you out and immediately recognizes it. he doesn't stop and doesn't tell you

You realize it when he finishes and looks up and his face is covered in blood

quite frankly you're horrified

he didn't care. just goes and washes himself up and you as well.

You're gonna need to change the sheets though. Logans a messy eater

He will eat and drink food from your mouth

you're telling him "oh Lo! Try this pie its SO good-" as you put the fork in your mouth and you're about to give him a piece and feed it to him and he insteads grabs you by the back of your neck and sticks his tongue in your mouth and tastes it that way

It shocks you (and turns you on)

"Yeah baby, it is good." he chuckles as he smacks his lips and walks away leaving you dumbfounded and a bit horny

(you're just like)

will get so nasty about fucking you too like the dirty talking

"Your pussy so fucking tight and wet. Sucking me in and everything."

"You fucking love how I taste don't you? All that cum and sweat. dirty girl."

"my cum tastes good in you baby"

"cmon, taste how good you are darling"

Ive mentioned about him going into a trance after he cums on you

he's cummed inside you and now staring at it leaks out of you

he's pushing it back in and trying to keep it all in you

doesn't even hear you whining over it

he starts spreading it all over you. it just looks so good painted on your pretty pussy

like i said this man adores you and that means ALL of you

will drool during sex

you're just going at it and you guys hit a point where your mindless and fucking

you feel so good and he can't even think straight. acting purely on instinct and you feel his drool on your back. You look back and his mouth is hanging open and his eyes shut and he's thrusting into you over and over, completely contorted in pleasure

lets talk a little about some other stuff

logan keeps up his hygiene of course. brushes teeth. washes his ass. he may consider himself an animal but he's not gonna let himself go. he IS from the 1800s yknow

but he runs like a heater and can and will sweat

esp with all those fucking layers

sweaty dick and balls. nuff said. hope you enjoy that

his natural musk is strong as hell. honestly though to you it'll smell really really good

leaks a lot of precum when he's horny.

his hairs insane though. So much hair. Its' gonna get in your mouth

actually even if hes groomed it's still gonna get in your mouth. he has a lot of hair

Enjoy nasty logan! <3

it wasn't your car...

summary : his car isn't yours by wendy. that's the summary. here, go listen to it.

pairing: l.sm x reader genre: exes to lovers warnings: chan slander (im sorry), mentions of making out(?), mention of drinking/drunk people, crying *i think that's about it but if i missed any pls let me know* word count: 800+

that's all lee seokmin was supposed to be. a summer fling.

but instead, the last few days of your vacation were possibly the worst days of your whole life. days that were supposed to spent lounging with him in the pool were spent fighting about your relationship.

it started when he admitted he was in love with you. you weren't ready for something serious then and you said the same to him to which he said he would wait for you. you frankly thought it was ridiculous that he had fallen for you in the span of a month. no one can love someone within a month of knowing them. or can they?

which brings you to now, standing in front of the open door of the passenger seat of your date's black maserati.

the same car you had spent a month driving around and making out in.

the same car that had pulled up to your vacation house every friday at 8pm on the dot to take you on a date.

the same car in which you're about to go on a blind date in now, just to forget about him. because, contrary to your beliefs, it is possible to fall in love with someone within a month. like how you had fallen for seokmin.

you're shaken out of your trance by your date's voice,

"y/n-ssi, are you getting in?"

by the time you look at him, he's standing near the driver's door, waiting for you to get in,

"we'll be late for our reservation if we don't leave right now so..."

you look at him one last time before getting in and willing yourself to forget about butterfly kisses in late afternoons and the enigma that is lee seokmin.

you get through the dinner with little effort. you date, whose name you learn is lee chan, cannot stop talking for the life of him. you're glad for it though, because it means you can zone out and daydream about what could have been with seokmin. eventually, the dinner ends. he pays like the gentleman he is and offers to drive back since it's quite late.

you check the time. 1am. you say yes to the offer despite not wanting to but trying to get a cab would be worse that listening to someone talk about how good of a dancer they are for the umpteenth time in the past hour.

you get home around an hour later and are shell-shocked at the sight in front of you.

lee seokmin, sitting (well, sleeping) on your front porch, with a huge bouquet of carnations and violets in his hand and a letter in the other.

you turn to chan. he looks at you concerned and offers to walk you in, mistaking seokmin for a drunk person who just got the wrong house.

you tell him that it won't be a problem and manage to get him out of your hair before he tries asking about a second date.

you walk up to him and shake him awake. he blinks a few times before turning to look at you. it's almost magnetic, how he reaches out to cup your cheek in the palm of his hand. he pulls back before he actually touches you, though, scared you might run away again.

he stands up and clears his throat before he starts talking, "i know you don't want anything to do with me but i-"

you cut him off before he can finish, "that's not true, minnie..."

minnie. a nickname you got accustomed to in the course of your relationship. a nickname you had tried so hard to forget over the course of the past few days. a nickname that came to you as easily as breathing.

he blinks at you, a little confused. "what do you mean?"

you have to look away from him before you speak, in fear that you may start crying if you had to maintain eye contact with him,

"i mean, i do want something with you. with us."

seokmin breaks first. sobbing his heart out as he stands up to engulf you in a hug. you've hug him back with silent tears streaming down your face.

he pulls away after a few minutes, eyes rimmed red and looks at you. like, really looks at you. the way your features are aligned perfectly on you, the way you're quite literally tailor made for him, and him for you. he also notices you actively trying to avoid meeting his eyes

he simply chuckles at your behaviour, before talking,

"what am i going to do with you?"

you finally find the courage to look up at him,

"you, lee seokmin, are going to be my boyfriend"

seokmin swears he sees a halo on your head. you laugh at him because of course he would say something that corny with a straight face.

yeah, you'll be alright.

a/n: someone teach me how to end fics, please and thanks :) also, look whose free from the prison of writer's block heh

rambly thoughts on johnny's relationships with alt and rogue and how he puts them on pedestals

(note i'm basing on the video game, no ttrpg knowledge. also im posting this at 3am sorry if it doesnt make much sense, ill probably edit in the morning)

someone feel free to bite me if i'm wayyy off base here but another "johnny isn't beating the harry du bois allegations" take of mine is his proclivity to put halos on his exes. alt "the one that got away but v the sex was SO good, trust me" cunningham and rogue "she's the best, she's one cold-hearted bitch but she's MY cold-heated bitch" amendiares. granted that's just two out of who knows how many and they're the most plot-relevant in the game, but they're the two he still kinda clearly isn't over or at least assumes they'll come running when he calls after fifty years lol.

if i had to make a very surface-level observation i'd suspect maybe johnny thinks alt speaks to the artist in him, while he feels rogue understands the soldier. to 2013!johnny, i think alt is the fire of a passionate relationship and his anti-corp ideals, while rogue is the ice-cold of a solo who can get the job done, and this reflects in how they deal with him too: alt keeps coming back for more even after ending it, while rogue went cold turkey and cut him out of her life after cheating on her, rightfully so. i think johnny was probably just more attracted to the fire when he was young, but in 2077 after respecting that she made it so far, he now is more appreciative that rogue's a bitch because it's kept her alive--the tradeoff, that he doesn't confirm until late game, is that she sold out. obviously i suspect there was much more to their relationships than that, but we know alt went to his concerts and they talked "truly, madly, deeply" which to me implies their talks DID border on more emotional or romantic, if not outright (i suspect him telling alt they "were nothing, shared nothing but sex" came out of fear after opening up so much).

anyway i think it's intentional alt appears like a huge, glowing naked women in her scenes; even if it's alt's chosen form instead of johnny's projection in cyberspace, it contributes to emphasizing how he feels inadequate in comparison, how badly he fumbled that relationship. i suspect 2013 johnny actually opened up to alt quite a bit, but frankly alt has a bit of a nasty streak, and when she hit him somewhere it really hurt, he didn't hesitate to hurt her back. johnny does say mean shit sometimes to v or kerry but i kind of hesitate to call his nastier comments cruel--he's can certainly say some awful things to kerry i don't think are fair or accurate, but in his mind i think he thinks he's helping him, therefore it's not mean-spirited to him, it's just banter/chooms being honest. i sort of get the sense if johnny was ever cruel, it was likely in response to what he saw as a cruelty someone else did him first. "she just had to bust my balls! that's why i told her she didn't matter to me even though i still have nightmares about her and got myself killed on a suicide run to save her a decade later!!" like ok sir. tangent, this is why johnny and alt would never work imo (being way too passionate is one thing, but way too willing to hurt the other to win an argument is another). putting aside that he's lying to himself as well as hurting her with that remark, to him, alt threw the first stone and what she said about him being a poser clearly got to him, so he's "justified" in hurting her back.

but alt always came back, or stopped ghosting him eventually, so despite them breaking up repeatedly, he really never suffered any long-term consequences for how he treated her, always knowing she'd cool down eventually and come back for more. which is why he is so disturbed in 2077 that she's now emotionless and cold ("you find this icy bitch persona in there as well?" he asks, like it genuinely bothers him, while he'd said of rogue "there's the ice-cold bitch i know" almost fondly because he expects it of rogue, maybe even relied on it). i suspect he's more bothered by seeing alt as an ai than he lets on. he thought he'd be able to talk to her like the old days only to be met with an uncaring ai that doesn't care he's there; hell johnny sells v on the idea of meeting with alt with the promise he can secure her help, except she doesn't give a shit, and v has to step in to make the deal for him. that's sooo embarrassing for him lbr, that he can't do the ONE helpful thing for v his engram was even stolen to do in the first place, but his emotions are barely a blip to this new alt; she doesn't even care that he's embarrassed. the old alt would've noticed that, maybe even teased him for it.

well alt may not be the old alt, but what she is now isn't all that bad, he realizes; if he's a stack of code, maybe that's what he should be aiming for himself. "alt's out there fractaling, globulating, becoming a bigger and better ai. and i'm stuck here shriveling, spending time with you." this ex is a digital goddess who escaped the corps and survived past the blackwall, so of course now that he's an engram, he's jealous. he thought she needed his help, but he fucked it up; now he needs hers, and tries to frame it as her OWING him to avoid the vulnerability of admitting that. johnny likely sees joining her in cyberspace as the closest thing he can get to freedom as an engram (aside from running away with v's body, which he finds morally disturbing for a number of reasons. we even know from his mikoshi pov scene that a part of him did still miss being alive, given the option to take v's body is there at all, but i personally don't believe he'd do it unless v insisted because he finds the idea so morally repugnant). anyway. eternity in cyberspace with your digital goddess ex? well it's no "truly madly deeply," but it's probably the closest you can get to know someone's code inside and out (except for yknow the whole relic situation), so maybe it's the best an engram can hope for, and maybe if it's forever, if he's changed enough, he can be ok if it's with alt, someone he once trusted his feelings to, even if she's not the same. she still came calling when he asked, right? he can be part of something better with her.

meanwhile, rogue the solo was once upon a time so onboard johnny's "fuck the system" campaign enough that he trusts her to raid arasaka tower with him not once or twice but THREE times... except she doesn't match him on the passion. when he asks her why she thinks they took on the corps, she says "we were young [with] shit judgment." johnny insists "we fought for beauty" and her response is "don't let your mind wander." even in their date, she doesn't fully open up to him. johnny says some pretty romantic things like "i'd do everything in my power not to lose you" and "i'm on borrowed time in a borrowed body, but i'm here" and she replies with more practical responses and kinda shuts him down gently. of course, neither of these situations are ideal for spilling your heart--the first on they're on a mission, the second one she's wrestling with internal conflict. but either way, it tracks with how the rogue of 2077 doesn't ever really entertain johnny's more emotional, philosophical, abstract goals of trying to reconnect with her, of fighting for justice--or even fighting for v, but i'll get into that below.

johnny feeling betrayed over rogue selling out hits him hard because not only is it a betrayal of his ideals but it's smasher that she sells out to, the man that killed him. he registers his shock about it during chippin' in, but if he takes over v's body in the final mission, he confronts her about selling out before he even mentions v's dying, the real reason he's here, arguably risking the help he's relying on; he's really fucking bothered by it. rogue shoot back he has no right to judge her, he was long dead. but then when johnny says "v's dying and i'm the fuckin' cancer that's killing them" rogue replies "don't tell yourself you're out to help someone. it's only ever about you--so you can feel better." even after v says johnny's changed and rogue gives him a second chance, she still suspects he wants something, maybe even wonders in this scene if he only asked her out before to get on her good side for now. it takes actually seeing him in ahq fighting again for her to acknowledge he's changed, to see how serious he is about saving v's life.

one thing gets me, and i think it's why johnny is still not really over rogue, is how he says during the date "i coulda been myself around you. only you. no pretending, no posing." i think johnny wants to believe that if he'd been more open and hadn't cheated, he and rogue could've worked. but rogue goes "i can't... i see what you're trying to do, but i'm in a different place now." this is a pretty big confession from johnny but she doesn't really react to it! this is NOT a judgment of rogue and she certainly doesn't owe him a positive response, but even after she says this, johnny is notably dissatisfied: “that’s how you’re gonna leave it?” not unhappily exactly but upset and disappointed she’s still not really opening up. he’s constantly WONDERING with rogue the way he didn’t seem to wonder with alt. but it is interesting to me that despite her walking away from three date, despite that she keeps saying she's changed and things won't be the same, she DOES pick up every time he calls, she DOES help out every time he asks, she DOES imply they could've worked, so i don't even really judge johnny for assuming rogue will always be there for him, because she kind of is. but every time johnny tries to get emotional with her, she really doesn't ever open up in the same way. and tbf we don't know what rogue was like when they were dating; maybe johnny's betrayal even contributed to her hardening up as a young woman. (mike pondsmith says johnny got her pregnant, so when he came to ask her for help in 2013, he was crawling back to his ex who he knocked up and then cheated on to help him save his current girlfriend. like holy shit dude! though i feel stuff like this doesn't necessarily need to be taken as canon so ymmv.) anyway in ahq, johnny says "you've always been the one--know that, right?" and rogue replies "i do. shame you never did." which is quite interesting because i feel it's the most romantic thing she says to him in the game and it's right before she dies!

but anyway this is my long-winded way to say johnny is a very passionate person hiding behind several masks and a slow-moving devil-may-care attitude. i think alt was actually able to recognize and speak to johnny's emotional core better than rogue, although rogue recognized and appealed to the soldier, so johnny maybe didn’t let her in before to match her cooler energy. in that one fight scene/flashback, alt purposefully picks at his insecurities, but she "sees" and engages with him and his goals in a way rogue doesn't really: alt's thought about his rockerboy persona, thought about what he says and does onstage vs what he says and does behind the scenes, and even though her reaction to it all is "it's all a lie, you're full of shit," she's actually thought about why johnny does all that he does, vs rogue going "well... idk, we fought corps because we were young and did it for the money." that could be an old woman just tired and unhappy with some of her choices, but it does also align with rogue's overall responses to johnny trying to get personal. it's not that rogue didn't ever believe in his anti-corp agenda, but just that clearly she was willing to sacrifice it to survive, and it's something i think johnny, if he sat on it, wouldn't be able to forgive if he had more time in this life. i think he wants to think, though, if he'd taken down the walls he'd put up back in 2013 around her, they could've worked out, maybe alt would still be alive for not being there that day, maybe rogue wouldn't have sold out, maybe rogue really was the one he could've made work if he hadn't fucked up so much.

anyway. i think it's clear that by 2077, both alt and rogue have moved on from ever explicitly seeing johnny romantically again the way they once had. engram!johnny though is currently going through a character arc and is in the middle of reckoning with his faults and mistakes, so because he’s never gotten over anything in his life and deep down inside he hates himself quite a bit, it's easier to believe that he fucked it all up with TWO great women, rather than them just not being compatible. it is possible it could've worked with both or either of them of course! but who knows. this is my silverv agenda here, but i personally think post-2077 johnny doesn't need someone who operates in hot or cold, or someone who sees him in terms of artist or soldier, because he makes strides with v when he's with someone who he can simply sit in silence with and have any kind of talk at all while knowing his emotions will be respected, but also without feeling he'll be coddled, because he certainly won't coddle them in return. someone who can watch his six in the field while they fuck up corps is just icing on the cake. (the reason i place someone who matches the fighting spirit in him a little lower than someone who speaks to his emotional spirit is based on how he chooses the quiet life in the temperance ending, indicating to me a johnny grown is a johnny willing to leave the fight behind, or at least dedicate his new life to fighting in different ways. although that is temperance-specific so i think it's negotiable. i do like my battle couples so it's not that i think silverv sits around all day talking about their feelings lmfao, and i do think they'd go on jobs together if they stayed in night city, but i think post-canon johnny can now admit he has things he doesn't want to lose, and is less likely to throw his life into anti-corp projects again, so he is maybe just a smidge less eager to spend his weekends setting ncpd vans on fire, even with v. maybe once a year on their anniversary instead.)

ok goodnight

ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢ: miles morales x hispanic male reader (featuring my accent)

ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: you're speaking spanish and he can hardly understand.

ʀᴇ𝐐: no ~ ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ: 635 ~ established relationship

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢꜱ: swearing, kissing, miles sitting on your lap

ᴍᴀʏʙ'ꜱ ɴᴏᴛᴇ: if i miss any tildes just know im not a man who paid attention to his tilde classes and also the difference between por que and porque and when they have tildes (dont think too hard about the wingdings)

☾⋆☆⋆☽

Was it wrong to admire him? Maybe it was, you didn't know; staring at strangers was wrong, but this was your boyfriend.

Miles had an effect on you. You couldn't quite name it, especially not when he asked. You just knew it had you staring, staring at his wide smiles or his expressive eyebrows or how he looks like when he's focused on drawing. You often stared when he wasn't looking, but when he was, when he returned your gaze, offered you an automatic smile, raised a teasing brow, you couldn't help but to kiss him.

But, for now, you were just looking, admiring. You could only imagine how dopey you looked right now. It's probably hilarious.

"E'te man me tiene loco." (This man drives me crazy.)

"What?"

You shake yourself out of your stupor, "Nothin'. Keep drawin'."

"No, no, dijistes algo." ((you) said something.)

"Ahahaa, no." You try to laugh it off, but Miles can see in the way that you tense up that he's right.

"Mira yo se que me mientes." He lifts himself off his seat, pointing a finger at you. (Look, I know you're lying to me.)

You cringe internally at the fact he didn't pronounce his r correctly but continue on. You raise your hands in feigned surrender, "No sé de que me 'tas hablando." (I don't know what you're talking to me about.)

"Me 'tas? Metas?" The confusion was visible on his face, which was frankly adorable, "Like goals?"

"No, mi amor," Miles sits himself down on your lap–so casually–and you take the opportunity to wrap your arms around him. The normality of it makes you relax again. "I mean to say, "me estas", but because of my accent, I cut out the "es"."

"So just say "me estas"." He replied, like it was that simple.

You roll your eyes, "I don't think about the way I say things all the time, you know. Just like how you forgot to roll your r's."

"I did not!" He shouts, pretending like he's offended.

"Oh, but you did."

"Ok, mira, carrro," He exaggerates it for you, "carrrrrro." (Ok, look, carrr. carrrrrr.)

"Okay, okay, now remember it."

"Whatever." He scoffs, "You've been deflecting."

"Have I?" You bring a hand up to fiddle with the unshaven hair at the back of his neck in the hope of distracting him.

"Yes." He digs his accusatory finger into your chest, turning the tables on you and your criticism of his shit Spanish. "Ey, stop trying to distract me."

You don't drop the hand but you stop playing with his hair, "Lo siento." (I'm sorry.)

"Dime lo que dijistes." (Tell me what you said.)

"Dijiste." You correct.

With a groan, he says it correctly. "Dijiste."

"Dijequemetienesloco." You say fast. It was a bit embarrassing to admit it, even with the many times that he's caught you staring.

Combined with his bad Spanish and how fast you said it, Miles did not understand a single word. "Dijek met ien lowcou." (👎︎♓︎🙰♏︎❑︎◆︎♏︎❍︎♏︎⧫︎♓︎♏︎■︎♏︎⬧︎●︎□︎♍︎□︎)

"What language are you speaking?"

"That's what you said." He laughs. "But seriously the curiosity is killing me!"

"Fine..."

He fiddles in your lap excitedly as he anticipates your words.

"Me tienes loco." (You drive me crazy.)

They were simple words but he didn't understand them. "I have you crazy? Do I drive you mad? Do you think I'm that annoying?"

Stuck in your own embarrassment, you ignore his rambling and begin your own, "I mean I actually said "Este man me tiene loco" but you know it's practically the same thing and you'd complain about me calling you man porque it's so impersonal and–" (This man drives me crazy.)

Meanwhile he's over here still trying to figure it out, until, "Wait it's "You make me crazy!". Ohhh."

You prepare yourself for teasing but are instead met with a soft little kiss.

"I drive you crazy, huh?" Miles smiles one of those smiles you always adore.

"Yes." There would be teasing later, you were sure of it, but for now you relished in kissing him. You couldn't have enough of him.

[viathecloset]

Taehyung and jungkook's relationship is overlooked by 90% of the fandom solely because they are so controlled by the narrative of the fandom/company that they cannot quite accept that anything outside is even a remote possibility. Ive been more of a quiet observer for years now [my sister's an army since 2015] and I've seen the boys, moreover I know how marketing and kpop works. It's quite evident if u observe close enough of the pattern on how this group of seven guys who genuinely love music is marketed you would understand to what extent you're being brainwashed. Im not talking about this like a conspiracy theorist. It's quite simple and right infront of you. Yall refuse to accept it that's all.

1. There are a certain set of stories that are made to be told by them, over and over again. Even if it disturbs them or they are bored. E.g: 2018 disbandment story, vmin dumpling incident, jikook rain fight/tokyo trip, mind you there are many things that happend between people who lived together for 10+ yrs but if it cuts the flow of events you are made to believe happened you aren't gonna hear from it, ever.

2. Like stories there are dynamics that each pair is supposed to portray Taegi as annoying/annoyed duo, taejin/jikook as flirty HS boyfriends, namseok/taekook the awkward old friends and no matter how much the relationships change or evolve you won't see it cuz again, it won't FIT the narrative that has already been shown.

3. Like relationships there are characteristics that thankfully some members chose to break out of during their solo era: hoseok always being sunshine and loud ( he's quite serious and very dedicated infact ), jungkook being that muscle dude who only knows how to follow his Hyungs ( he's very independent and has a lot of targets he wants to achieve individually, he's very thoughtful and organized) and Taehyung being WEIRD and weak ( he's extremely intelligent and super strong he's strategic and disciplined)

4. This brings us to the whole Taekook narrative, the fact that they've been seen so much during solo era yet people had the audacity to still call them distant and awkward solely cuz it wasn't via company but through Taehyung's ig or jungkook mentioning him in interviews etc. I think it's needless to say they aren't comfortable being touchy and showy on camera for content, hell if they were to shoot everytime Taehyung and jungkook hangout there would he enough CONTENT till 2067. They're supportive of eo and have a very big shared friend circle, when jungkook went missing for almost 2 months we got to know Taehyung was the one he was with.

5. The thing is everyone [ including my own sister ] thinks that Taehyung is being desperate or such whenever he mentions Taehyung cuz a. Yall have actually led jokers run so fucking rampant that everytime the man mentions him actually doing something you're ready to throw him under the bus and call him a liar or such. b. Im not saying jungkook isn't close to anyone else but when he isn't working or shooting content and just wants to be himself the one you saw him most was around Taehyung and yes it matters. In the name of hating shippers yall have not only dissed the quite frankly PRIVATE bond they seem to share but went as far as dissing Taehyung himself cuz of the extreme level of manipulation yall are under.

Ik imma find armys [jikookers ]under this sooner or later calling me names but to be honest I'm sick and tired of yall dissing very real people and their very real human relationships solely based off the content yall are made to believe is 100% candid. Go touch grass, get friends, go date, don't obsess over them for a while then come back and try seeing it from a neutral perspective.

i feel like the “no more drugs + booze” conviction will last for like one episode, before reuniting with stede and relapsing almost immediately because im pretty sure staying sober while your weird blonde ex follows you around is a trial not even jesus could withstand.

I'm gonna put what I think will happen up here and then I'm gonna put my drug takes under the cut.

To me it kinda seems like the scene where he's smoking weed might happen after the scene where he says no more drugs. Even if I'm wrong there OFMD is a comedy where Jack and Ed can just sorta drink on an empty stomach while they actively have hangovers and be completely fine so I don't imagine that line is the start of a preachy sobriety plot. No more booze probably just means Eds gonna take a break from drinking all day to try to drown his Stede thoughts rather than a total ban, and I do think a relapse could be funny in the context of the show frankly. Stede follows him around like a lost puppy and he's like fuck it. However

Honestly my preference for substance abuse arcs is quitting the drugs until you figure out what was going on in your life that made you want to escape from it with drugs so bad, sorting that shit out and then if you want to easing back into it to see if you can have a healthy relationship with substances when you're actually in a good mental place. I feel like if we had more media like that that twelve step type cults where you have to say that all your successes are the work of God and all your failures are your own fault would have less of a chokehold on the rehab industry and people would be less terrified of drugs and addicts wouldn't feel like one relapse is all their hard work down the drain. I just really think most addiction is caused by shitty life circumstance and not personal failing and it's a capitalist refusal to admit that there's anything wrong with the way we do things that keeps people blaming drugs and addictive personalities for addiction.

I don't think OFMD is the show to tackle that shit obviously it is a pirate rom com already doing heavy lifting on topics like race and class and masculinity. I just really hope it's not gonna be another one of those half baked "hes an alcoholic because his dad was an alcoholic and he can never drink again now or else he'll turn into Mr. Hyde" plots. That type of thing does exist irl but it's way overrepresented in media and I genuinely think that we need to give it a break

@walkpathe (moved so i could cut idk what tumblr drafts is doing)

ah,   the good old would have,  should have.  not yet,  maybe?  he is not entirely sure on that one.  ian,  however,  is confident enough to say he hasn’t imagined something there    (   he might wear dark tinted glasses,  but they sure as hell aren’t for his eyesight   ).  what he is not going to do,  anyway,  is offer   (   possible?   )   relationship advice to the man.  dr. grant is not the one with two divorces on his back,  after all. ‘  uh-huh,  sure.  ’   the two of them would make one hell of a couple,  if they were to ask his opinion,  but well..  at least he doesn’t feel even a bit guilty in turning towards alan completely,  expression unashamedly teasing.   '  so,  is that a no to work relationships or to relationships in general,  dr. grant?  '   ian malcolm isn’t one to limit his options,  never has been,  and he won’t start now in the company of not one but two frankly attractive scientists. his smile fades just a little this time,  when alan asks about his kids,  but ian is quick to put the usual nonchalant humor to his words and,  truth be told,  he isn’t lying at all when he says,  pride shining clear as day in his eyes:   '  my youngest,  kelly  —  she’s going to outshine me for sure.  '   the sad part,  the one he keeps silent,  is that he hasn’t seen his other two daughters in quite a while.  he keeps it under wraps,  gives out an uncomplicated version of himself,  bite sized and easy to chew on.  the rockstar,  the flirt.  it’s just easier this way.

Alan suddenly felt a bit too warm and reached up to loosen the bandana tied around his neck awkwardly. This topic of chit chat was not something he was used to dealing with out at dig sites. "It's not a no it's just -- what it is," he replied quickly, happy to let the subject shift to Ian instead. The man seemed better fit to being the center of a conversation than he was himself. Or maybe he was just feeling warm because of the flirty look in Malcolm's eyes when he'd asked him his stance on relationships. Truthfully, Alan wasn't sure he was meant to be in one. Sure he'd like to. Who wanted to spend their life alone? Work had just always seemed to be what he was married to. Finding that balance hadn't been something he'd figured out yet -- or given enough of a try to be honest. It might have been more on him than he'd like to admit.

It was actually kind of sweet to hear Ian talk about his kids like this. Grant smiled a bit while he listened, despite kids not really being his forte at all. "I never know how to act with kids. Which is entirely difficult given as Ellie describes me as "who every kid wants to flock to the second they know im a 'dinosaur man'", he chuckled softly and shook his head. It was very true. Tim alone kept trying to glue himself to Alan's side. "I don't hate kids," he clarified quickly. "I am just more comfortable with my dirt and my tools," he shrugged. "Though truth be told I think I might just be better with dinosaurs than I am with people in general. Suppose that will remain to be seen a bit..." he trailed off, thinking about getting to hold a baby raptor earlier. His head was still reeling with how amazing and terrifying all at the same time that had been.

some thoughts lately or a diary or whatever

i am lonely and my roommate bryan is the only person i know who somewhat shares my nerdy interests and he's moving out soon. i'm moving in with some acquaintances i met via my local bar but the reason they're acquaintances is because i have basically nothing in common with them so i doubt i'll have as satisfying a relationship with them even once we do get to know each other. i've always had a difficult time relating to other people and really getting close to them and i'm thinking this may play a big part in why.

i like anime such select and specific anime that i'm not sure i can accurately say "i like anime". the people i know who like anime usually like naruto/one piece, that kind of thing, and it's usually more of a passive interest for them. but then, you have the people who LIKE like anime, and they tend to be a little too weird for me to vibe with, not that there's anything wrong with the weirdness, i just end up not fitting in with them either. i'm at this weird point where i'm very socially "normal" but have interests that are very different from socially normal people? and those interests are what i spend most of my time thinking about, so growing closer via conversation about anything else can be difficult, as i frankly just don't know much about most topics, and am reluctant to speak when i'm not confident about my relevant knowledge.

so yeah i dont really know what i'm hoping for, am i hoping to meet my similar-interest dream girl who doesn't exist and even if she did the likelihood of ever a) encountering each other and b) encountering each other in such a way that shows we have things in common is basically nonexistent. i think that's maybe a silly thought process as that's not really how things work and it doesn't necessarily need to be a romantic relationship anyways.

oh yeah and i'm not doing makeup or eyeliner any more and i cut off my hair so now its short and brown and i look like an average 5-6-7 if were being generous white dude like i used to. i was really tired of being perceived as gay by seemingly everyone at a glance. but i'm definitely regretting it a little bit, looking in the mirror for that approximate year always made me so happy. i constantly would look at myself in my snapchat camera and take pictures and feel confident and such. now i kind of hate looking at myself and it was weird breaking the habit of constantly looking at my snapchat camera because of the negative emotions it caused. i was just feeling miserable one day and was so desperate for any kind of change that i cut my hair off, lol. i talked with my doctor about it and the idea that i could potentially have bipolar depression came up. which, looking at my past actions such as: quitting jobs, getting a nonsensical divorce from my loving partner of 10 years, moving to rochester, starting estrogen.......... maybe there's something to that lol. if any of my bpd homies read this let me know what u think im looking at u m if u get this far or check my blog lol

but yeah reading over this myself maybe i should go back to the eyeliner lol. i realized that i really like cute things. i like kirby and girl characters in video games and bla bla bla. i like cute things and i think it felt nice to be a cute thing. unfortunately i just don't know if the social niche it gave me was productive towards my end goal of finding a romantic partner. its got me thinking, once i have money again (oh yes i am extremely broke,,, i start my new job on august 12), how SHOULD i present myself if i want to work towards that goal? presenting in general is such a fascinating thing its like... you decide how you want others to perceive you, what notions theyre going to have. i dont know i dont really get it.

thankfully despite not being just super happy i am pretty mentally stable right now. no extremely low lows like it has been for a while recently

[tanadrin]

@fable-and-thread I interpreted this to mean like minority religious cultures within western countries Like i have Indian friends who feel unwelcome in our queer groups because ppl are so vehemently anti religion and even if they dont practice any relgion its a huge part of their culture I let ppl in queer spaces assume im atheist. They assume it immediately and i never correct them. Ive seen enough friends be made to justify it through many qs over and over. Followed by at least one ex christian queer trauma dumping Too many ppl in my queer spaces irl percieve being religious and queer as the same as being a Tory/ Republican while being queer When i think its infinitely more nuanced than that comparison.

I think minority religious groups often don't come out of this comparison covered in glory; there is no inherent virtue to being a minority religion, and many minority religious groups can be hegemonic within the social niche they've carved out, and consequently just as shitty to their members as the majority. I can think of many specific examples of minority Christian groups (JWs, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists), Muslim groups, and Jewish groups that treat apostates extremely badly even in societies whose broader norms are liberal, and if you face the prospect of being thrown out of your insular community and cut off from the only support system you have because of your nonbelief, it's still a very difficult situation to be in.

That isn't a universal trend ofc, but nonetheless some of the most vocal anti-theist voices I've observed come from these backgrounds, because they both get the stultifying upbringing of religious oppression and, once they leave that upbringing behind, they have space to discuss their experiences in public. It's also hard for me to feel too bad for religious people; even in quite secular-by-contemporary-standards cultures, being religious is frequently viewed as the default, religion is afforded prestige nonreligion is not, and religion frequently even still enjoys formal state support. There are U.S. states where it is still a law on the books (thankfully unenforceable) that atheists can't hold public office; here in Germany, the government collects taxes from believers on behalf of major religions.

And that's before we even get into the problem of people with religious beliefs who think those beliefs are due deference that no other kind of belief is. I am reminded of a story I once heard of a woman informed a Mormon coworker that just because that coworker wasn't allowed by her religion to say "oh my god" or not to cover her shoulders, she didn't feel she should have to, and wouldn't do so simply out of respect for that coworker's religious sensibilities. The religious coworker's response was to say that she felt persecuted and "like a minority" (which, you know, she was a minority--Mormons are like 1.7% of the U.S. population, and less in most other countries; they are no longer even a majority in Utah). And, frankly, I think religious people should have to be get used to feeling like a minority in a liberal society, in that they should feel no expectation that those who don't share their faith will be obligated to conform to their sensibilities. That is in fact the crux of the liberal compromise around freedom of religion, and it applies both to the relationship between religions and between religion and irreligion.

I'm dumb but I want atheists to be okay writing what they want but it feels like they just deny any positive effects of religion and some religious individuals can have positive experiences with religion and any such thing may be seen with a disparaging attitude (especially works by queer or other authors who have more positive experiences with religion) and or growing up in kinda non western environments are not just talked about. Sorry If this is incoherent I am not that good in English.

Tldr. Will any heterosexual positions on religion be accepted in the future or must they be not allowed

If there are any fallacies please tell

I mean atheists aren’t a monolith. Those that are explicitly anti-theistic would probably argue that they don’t deny that religion has some utility to its followers, only that that utility is unique to religion or that it outweighs the harms of religion. Most of them talk about religion in a western context bc that’s the context they know—the English-language internet has a western bias for obvious reasons, and since western culture has a history of tolerating religious freedom it’s a lot less dangerous to be vocally atheist in western countries.

Obviously it will be rarer to be vocally atheist in places where atheists routinely face death threats or the actual death penalty for apostasy. It’s a lot harder for Saudi or Iranian people to talk about the downsides of Islam than it is for Americans to talk about the downsides of Christianity. I reckon it’s also pretty difficult to be Indian and to criticize Hinduism. The occasional brave soul will do so anyway, but let’s not get it mixed up: a lot more than 20% of the Spanish population would still be practicing Catholics if you could still get burned to death in Spain for heresy. So it’s hard to honestly appraise the benefits of religion to people in places where people aren’t free to choose their faith or to not believe at all.

I don’t know what you mean by heterosexual positions on religion.

[greetings-humans]

introductory post (includes some interaction boundaries, more details on me (ao3 acc, etc) & a dni under the cut)

yeah it's about time I made one of those ig (disclaimer: I'll edit this, if/when the need comes)

hello there! im deelay! you can call me dee, if you want! [btw if you know my irl name, not here you don't unless we're DM-ing]

gender is so weird tbh but please use they/she for me!

for details on what to use when talking to me or about me (like pronouns and gendered terms etc) you can go here

-im a young adult and that's like all imma say age-wise. however please take that into account when interacting with my blog! some of the reblogs/posts here might not be what I'd have been okay with seeing when I was like under 14 or something. so yknow. exercise some modicum of caution please.

-currently in uni, studying to get an english degree (every new thing I learn about teaching makes me want to yell at some of the teachers I've known/had, did they even study in uni? did they even keep in touch with pedagogical studies?? definitely not, from what I can tell)

-I'm technically a writer? like I write,,, supposedly lmao. like all the greats, the one thing I never seem to do is yknow write-

I write sometimes, let's say. and I'm also really interested in writing my own crime fiction novel one day. but that's for some day in the future lmao

-definitely a reader tho (yes ao3 and i are in a committed relationship)

-im also very very aroace, so like, blanket disclaimer, even if you might think I'm thirsting over a character, im really not and it makes me uncomfortable when others think so (and tell me that) so yeah lol

~

my interests and fandoms are. a lot. for example (and in no particular order):

DC (the bats, mostly): dick grayson is so interesting you guys, (as of Jan 2025) im finally properly getting into comics!!

the magnus archives: my first podcast! as of September 2024 I've started s4 and all I want is to relisten to really see how much everyone has changed in the span of 4 seasons🥺🥺 mind your spoilers, I don't always tag! and if you're in s1 frankly just persevere until halfway through s1 or s2 at least before interacting, there's a lot of spoilers for the setting going around because the actual explanation doesn't come until quite later even if u kinda figure some things out on your own

merlin (bbc): i was watchin s2 in August 2024! i finally decided to pick this up again and properly watch it! esp since i really wanna read The Once and Future Kings by tjmcharg & And like the cycle of the year, we begin again by katherynefromphilly and i can't do that if i watched the show lmao

windbreaker (satoru nii): i haven't caught up with this one in a good long while, but im a manga reader so I know wayyy more than the anime lmao. talk to me about my children (sakura, tsubakino, umemiya, kaji, hiragi, suo) and all of the other children ofc anytime!

riordanverse (pjo, hoo, magnus chase, a little bit toa, pjo show [which was def better than the movies but needs more screen time to fix up the pacing and add more depth in the appropriate moments])

fullmetal alchemist brotherhood! (i used to have roy on my pfp, he's my favorite character! i also wanna write a huge character analysis essay on him but uni responsibilities mean that's very slow going). im collecting the hardcover editions of the manga slowly, and i plan on reading the manga properly as i buy them!

star wars (prequels, kotor, clone wars)

criminal minds: (obsession gone dormant, watch me not think about cm for months at an end until like exam season or something) update: as it's exam season (Jan 2025) I am naturally back into criminal minds— Currently finishing up s14, finally.

jujutsu kaisen: lowkey refuse to finish s2 but I know what's happening by the end of it and I've given up on the storyline so spoil away, I'll just ignore you and live my life in my fanfic sandbox :)

yuri on ice is an old love of mine (ice adolescence😭😭 one day😭😭 oh one day😭😭 so that was a fucking joke, mappa count your days and also im stealing viktor you can't have him, im gonna write iceado WITHOUT YOU) (fuck you mappa, I urge all creative yoi fans that think they wanna try doing their own version of iceado to go ahead and give it a go!)

haikyuu!!: I'm all caught up, manga and anime-wise! also patiently waiting for the last (😭) movie that should've been a season but anyways they better not fuck this up too much- (update: battle of the garbage dumpster was wonderful even if they couldn't animate everything... it was just so short. I really hope someone decides to adapt it into a proper season at some point)

bungo stray dogs is also an old but semi-revived and dormant (as of Jan 2025) interest of mine (im a few chapters out of touch with the manga and haven't read the light novels)

tian guan ci fu / heaven official's blessing (as of June 2024, I've finished s2 and tgcf is amazing it's wonderful, I've started book 1 and am currently procrastinating on reading it)

there's like. so much more

sooo muuuuch moooreeee

so I'll just let you figure the rest of it out

If you wanna see some of my thoughts without infinite scrolling, you can also search for the tag "deelay words".

Another tag of mine is "deelay's tbr" (which stands for "to be referenced") which you'll find at posts that really make me Think™ and that I want to keep in mind when I do anything creative with the characters involved.

When interacting with my blog, if you want to avoid spoilers at all costs, I suggest blocking the fandom tag because what you consider spoilers might not be what I consider spoilers if we're at different arcs of whatever that media is.

That said, I'd also appreciate it if you gave me a heads up on spoilers in any asks.

~

if you're here for any of my fics then well.

if you're here for pjo, um. those fics are truly discontinued/on indefinite hiatus. that hasn't changed. I watched the show and I'm actually reading pjo fics again from time to time so if I get inspired enough and manage to plan out a decent fic out of Percy Jackson Revealed,,,, then maybe there shall be a fic. But!!! I have no idea what the ending is gonna be, and without an ending I'm doing nothing because the chances of me dropping the fic (again) would be higher than my anxiety during exam season (aka very very high)

if you're here for the man behind neal caffrey tho!! hi, there. I am working on that sequel, don't worry. it's just long (im at like 7k or so iirc? and im not even halfway through yet) and I'm also working on uni and this other writing project I have going on. feel free to send me an ask with any questions or comments or whatever. august 2024 update: this project is very slow going tbh! i think i need to recalibrate some of my plans because it's so tiring to keep writing some of the stuff I've planned for. white collar crime cases are more tedious than expected. im also like on and off working on a double homicide case fic for criminal minds (that I think I'll rework to become an original thing) and it's coming out much more easily😭

also disclaimer!!! this is not a russian gov-positive fic. russian culture is really interesting and yes it's probably not all russians, diversity is a thing, but to be perfectly clear, fuck the russian government and everyone supporting their actions. what they're doing is inhumane.

a dream too large to bear alone: aka my (restricted-to-ao3-users) ice adolescence-esque fic! it's a mix of pre-canon viktor content and during canon missing scenes and post canon content, all or it mostly viktor-centric, though I'm a huge fan of outsider pov so it's viktor-centric but not always viktor pov! this is not going to be a very linear story as you might guess. the first main narrative follows viktor at 17ish deciding to try to ratify the quad flip and it includes some insight on his friends and family (who are OCs, im not sorry, his backstory is so barren, i had to!) and on how he ended up so alone by the time yoi was happening. the second main narrative is post-yoi viktor coming back to russia ft yuuri, yuri & yakov (and georgi and mila, sorta). [posts about this project will be tagged as "dee's iceado"! ]

unnamed grishaverse project: yeah so, I have a project going with my friend noel @fifteenth-entity, we're fixing the darkling! this fic will take place like around 50-100 years pre-alina, and will feature the darkling doing darkling things while that generation's most prominent grisha (aka a bunch of queers) also do things that may or may not affect the darkling. and his views. and personality. there may or may not be character development in the works. (there is, he gets better). this fic is canon divergent before canon even happens. the entire plot of shadow and bone will be eventually reworked. (also, no darklina, no darkling romance, in general, this boy needs to get mentally healthy first and foremost and I'm also writing him as aroace sooo) [for more info on this just search "unnamed grishaverse project", it's the tag I've used in like the only post about this. do feel free to send me an ask about this tho!!]

~

Another thing: If you have a genuine, not malicious or mean-spirited, question, feel free to send me an ask. Keep it chill, though! if you try to pick a fight i will delete the ask for the first time, but on strike 2, you're blocked.

i like to think that I'm open to discourse on some topics but not if you're starting out all aggressively cause if you're aggressive, I will be defensive (while privately having a panic attack) and we're not gonna get anywhere. Not that I can't get aggressive sometimes when I'm annoyed/offended or sth, like I'm not perfect but this is a general rule of a thumb yknow. Try not to be aggressive. or prepare for an aggressive conversation if you are.

so. once again for the people in the back

If you're here to pick a fight with me then gtfo please.

I don't like fighting, it makes me anxious, so save us both the trouble and be as civil as you can be if you have a disagreement with me. don't forget to check my dni tho. I'm not gonna sit around having basic arguments about my rights to queerness as an aroace person or some stupid shit like that.

that said, unless I'm literally at your post saying shit you disagree with. don't come at me. literally block me. it's fine. I quite literally do not mind or care. like, if you saw my post or reblog and decided I suck then just block me will you?

~

Moreover, if you ever want fic recs for a fandom I'm in, you're definitely welcome to send me an ask! but if you don't feel like talking, anything I will ever tell you is straight from my ao3 bookmarks. sooo, feel free to hunt around those! [in case the link isn't working for you, my ao3 username is Justice_not_Revenge]

ao3 disclaimer: anything before 2021 is not necessarily something I claim. So like don't think I'm into this thing or that I'm passionate about this ship just because in 2019 I bookmarked 100 fics with it, people tend to grow and change so yeah.

some generic DNIs

if you're anti-lgbtq+ in any way (cmon im queer myself this one should be obvious)

if you support AI art or AIs stealing fic content (if you're the type to use other people's OCs in character.ai with no permission, then like go away and don't you dare touch my OCs without talking to me and getting my explicit permission first I will find you)

racists, ableists, sexists/misogynists, incest shippers, pro-shippers, etc

acab however don't be surprised to see me interacting with dick grayson cop posts. it's fiction guys, let me be, some of the fictional cops get to be nice as a treat. irl cops are upholding a faulty institution that only helps the rich and powerful and literally would and have upheld corruption, fascism, racism, general bigotry and many more, thanks for coming to my ted talk—

literally anyone who thinks violating someone's concent is nice and fun and quirky

okay that's all! thank youuu-

Omg hiii! I spoke to you like a year ago and you are SO LOVELY! I wanted to ask your advice about something…I feel like most women enjoy giving bjs to men…but I just don’t like it and don’t want to do it. I haven’t remotely have had sex with any men because of this. When spoken to “friends” around me they tend to shame me or call me a “prude” simply because I don’t want to engage on this. I’m really scared to be in a relationship with a man who wants me to do things in bed that I don’t want to do. What would you recommend? I feel out of touch sometimes 🥲 And I genuinely think men probably think I’m a prude or good girl BC in my almost 22 years of life NO man has approached me or even asked me on a date 🤦🏻‍♀️ I feel left out and at moments ugly, I’m working on how I feel, but sometimes it just gets to me yk? I’m an adult btw😅 Thank you❤️

okay im on a roll rn so . gonna answer this too hehe hi lovely 💖 THANK YOU FOR SAYING IM LOVELY OMG DFHJKGSLK and yes *cracks knuckles* lemme see what i can do (...you guessed it...under the cut...i am talkative rn sorry y'all)

quite frankly? do not do anything you don't want to do. however, i would be remiss if i didn't add any nuance to this so. here i go.

when it comes to your sexual pleasure, i would say that it is very important to communicate your needs and feelings. also, like, we do be livin in a society n shii so . there are a lot of dynamics always at play esp with cis men (specification necessary bc. some men are not cis and do not have dicks. and also bc the types of dynamics i am about to mention are pretty damn specific to women in sexual situations with CIS men, so when i think of non-men with dicks, i don't believe the same dynamics are at play, yknow?)

> society is disgustingly and selfishly centered around male pleasure. so blowjobs are like . fucking expected ? for some stupid reason ? yet these same men that are pushing your head down for you to suck them off tend to be the same fucking pansy ass bitches that don't eat pussy bc "it's gross" as if the vagina doesn't have a naturally self-cleaning procedure*...which the penis doesn't... and as if men don't literally have smegma.

*note: i don't think i should have to say this bc we are all grown but. no matter what the vagina itself does to regulate itself pH wise or self-cleaning wise...please, for the love of god, wash yourself properly. do as much research as you need, ask your doctor, whatever you need to do...but you need to clean yourself for your safety. okay psa over, moving on.

> but yeah, in the societal sense, it's way more normalized for people sleeping with cis men to ... give blowjobs and center the man's pleasure...often at the expense of their own. this is incredibly fucking stupid and i hate it and if i could go back in time and kill everyone who made this "normalized" i would do it with glee. and excessive violence. 💖

> that said? if you don't want to give a blowjob, say that. establish that boundary as soon as it feels necessary. we are going to hope that the man on the receiving end of the boundary is not an asshole or anything and that he takes it well. however...men do be trash, so there is a chance he might push or try and coerce you. while maintaining your safety as much as possible, do not fucking budge. if this man pushes and crosses the boundary and you let him, that sets the precedent for him to continue to cross your boundaries in the future. if you don't want to suck his dick, do not suck his dick.

> what i just mentioned tends to apply to more casual relationships i think but like . again, ideally, whatever man you end up with as a romantic long-term partner has heard your boundary loud and clear and respects your boundary. like, personally? i don't like blowjobs! it's pretty fucking rare for me to ever look at a man and be like "god, i wanna suck his dick." (haechan if you are reading this...you're the exception bc i do think this abt you sometimes... but not THAT often. don't get it twisted.) and, like, that is okay. that is fully okay for both of us. there's literally a term for it–pillow princess !! p sure the term originated in sapphic spaces, but . it's a lil more mainstream now i think and i also didn't seem to find a term that applies to like. women in general, not just sapphic women.

(which, if i wanted to get on my high horse about it for a sec, is so "funny" to me because the concept of a woman only wanting to receive pleasure and not give it is... only conceptualized in spaces that don't... involve... men... interesting... surely that doesn't mean anything in regards to our society and how it refuses to "normalize" or even shed light on women wanting to center their own pleasure–much like men are encouraged to do all the fucking time–when having sex with cis men... i also find it very... "funny" that the term, as well as the less popular term "starfish," tends to be used... in a derogatory/offensive manner... as if pillow princesses are inherently selfish people... even though the chances are high that they communicated beforehand that they didn't want to reciprocate and their partner might have continued on anyway with the intent to attempt to coerce said pillow princess into giving them pleasure anyway... as if that's not borderline predatory and manipulative behavior... that we let men get away with all the fucking time... interesting. surely that couldn't mean anything deeper at all. moving on bc i think i've planted enough seeds and you get what i'm hinting at.)

> anyway: there is no fucking shame in being a pillow princess, a starfish, or whatever term you'd like to use for yourself. y'know what it means when there's a term for something? it's a common enough occurrence that people started being like "we need a name for this thing." so you're not alone !! and i don't think there is a single thing wrong with being a pillow princess bc guess what !! just like there are people like us that prefer to receive, there are people that prefer to give!! there are actually quite a few terms for this (again... interesting... that being more inclined to give than receive is fine and cool and dandy... but the alternative, when it comes to women, is not... surely this article doesn't make several valid points...) like stone butch (a more typically masc presenting lesbian who prefers not to be touched during sex), pleasure dom (a person who plays a dominant role in a D/S dynamic who derives sexual pleasure directly from giving their partner sexual pleasure), service top (someone who, even though they're the one doing the penetrating or filling the typically more "dominant" role in the dynamic, derives pleasure from pleasing their partner; this is typically used in LGBT+ spaces but i think it can def apply to het relationships if the terms are used correctly), and i'm sure the list goes on!! there are people that are very sexually compatible with pillow princesses and it's just a matter of solid communication to find the right person/people!!

> that said, i feel the need to let you know that, like, you're not alone in the slightest! and honestly? fuck your friends for judging you or teasing you or antagonizing you about it. it's frankly none of their damn business what you like in bed bc like . you're not fucking them... anyway. i digress. but like, honestly? i consider myself a pillow princess !! while blowjobs aren't, like, physically uncomfy for me or anything, i just . don't like them dfjkgsk like if i slept with someone with a dick, the thought to suck their dick would not be stemming from the desire but probably a sense of like . obligation . it does nothing for me !

> honestly, whenever dicks come out in the porn i watch, i lose interest immediately and either go back to an earlier point in the video where the dicks weren't present, or i'll just leave the video entirely kjdsfgkd and again !! this is valid !! it's not like you're misleading people by saying "omg yeah i love giving head" and then when the time comes you're like "nvm i don't like doing it actually" (which, i feel the need to note, is a very diff situation than revoking consent. revoking consent is acceptable at any point at all. i am talking specifically about deliberately misleading people just to fuck with them. think of a guy being like "yeah i love going down on girls" and then you two hook up and he encourages you to go down on him bc he'll "return the favor" and then when you're finished giving him head, he won't reciprocate and never had any intent to)

> i do also feel the need to say, though, that sometimes i personally do want to reciprocate !! whether it's by giving a bj or eating someone out, sometimes i DO want to give pleasure !! (tbh i am infinitely more likely to want to eat someone out than suck a dick......... we won't unpack that rn) however, my occasionally wanting to give pleasure doesn't revoke my pillow princess status, nor would i say it's expected of pillow princesses to have the same feelings i do !!

so. yes . i hope this helped at least a lil bit fdjksgk i hope if and when you do start entering the dating/sexual/relationship scene that you have safe and positive encounters !!! communicate w ppl and be as upfront as possible !!!!

[reverieprince]

i never post here but im answering this question bc its too long for curiouscat!

answer is under the cut ^^;

yes kinda! the story abt this is basically when briar is 2 and astair is 6, the rulers decide they should split them up, with their weird logic being that 'hey we can teach and influence them, but if they're separate they can't be sneaky and create some secret plan and conspire against us together when they're older' which is funny bc that's literally what happens anyways

so astair is like 6 when they tell him his baby sister passed away. He's pretty upset, but it doesn't affect his life too much, especially since his parents would always tell him it didn't matter and to move on. So for the next eleven years, the rulers are there but on and off- they'd spend a few weeks with him, then some castle staff (is staff what you call people working at a castle? idk...) would take care of him on the off weeks. (this is when they were spending time with briar, and the cycle would repeat.) 

only thing is, briar had a ton less liberties growing up- astair was their main focus since he was to be the next king, so briar really spent most of her life in a very limited area and didn't get to do much of anything. so when she's 13, she tries to escape by basically hurling herself out a window, because i guess she wasn't thinking critically or somethin? luckily, emalise (i don't mention her much sorry but she used to be an apprentice castle guard for the Chastels) happened to be flying a little ways under the window and caught her. 

so briar's all like “my parents are bad” and emalise is like “we been knew” and helps her escape to nocteram. they figure by the time they get there that people have totally noticed that the princess is missing and now they're both kinda on the run from castle guards. (which is true, but it isnt like they figure out theyre in a whole nother kingdom by now.) so now em and briar are kinda just wandering the city and come across this abandoned building that still has light coming from it. it's the old pterasi headquarters! (i forgot to mention this but this is all like 3 years from the start of arc 1! briar's 13, caspians 19, emalise is 18, and theo is 16.) 

so there they meet theoden, who's pretty nice to them and offers them a place to stay in the old pterasi hq where he and caspian are lving rn. (this isnt too long after old pterasi disbanded leaving just the two of them kinda hanging around in the hq building cause they didn't really have anywhere else to go.) so briar and emalise accept pretty eagerly, but then whuh oh caspian comes in later bc he was doing something at the time i guess, like a patrol or something. he kinda wants to keep up the illusion that pterasi is still a thing :( anyway hes kinda miffed, but trusts theoden with letting them stay "for now" as long as they mind their business.

briar does not mind her business. 

she's frankly awed by everything in nocteram, caspian included. she's kinda hangin around him all the time and asking what this or that is. she hangs with theoden a lot too, but she also kinda thinks annoying caspian is fun. caspian himself is slowly warming up to her though, despite insisting he doesnt have time for some kid. they get pretty close pretty fast once caspian lets his guard down, they just kinda click and have a close-knit, fun siblingy dynamic and get into trouble together :D

so three years and one big fat status upgrade later pterasi is kinda thriving yaa! to answer your second question, their first meeting is once they've got astair in their new hq, courtesy of ambrose's sollis minions. briar knows they're siblings bc she knows who her parents are obviously, but she has zero memories of the guy so what gives? soon after hes just kinda. settled in their penthouse headquarters thing, briar approaches him with a bunch of questions, not just because shes suspicious of him, but because she also wants answers to piece together the puzzle of her own life. 

this is where they kinda make a deal with the rest of pterasi- you help me investigate what's going on with the king and queen and i'll join pterasi and help you do some mission stuff. normally it'd be a no, no one trusts him yet- but briar shares astair's objective. the rest see that this is quite personal to her, so they accept. 

briar and astair's relationship starts off quite amicable, but a bit awkward and forced- like the way you're friendly with an acquaintance you have a lot in common with. it gets a bit rocky when astair kinda goes helicopter mode, starting to try and distance her from pterasi out of concern for her. eventually he learns to pull back and kinda trust her and pterasi, and they manage to get close to each other!

I don't know if you felt the same, but the last chapter gave me the impression that old wants tianshan to progress a bit slower then it was progressing. Like, on chap 199 He Tian and Guan Shan seems to be very comfortable with each other and chap 200 has this awkward atmosphere... And the way He Tian acts in the last chapter leaved me a bit disappointed, it seemed like they gone one step forward and then one step back.

i have a lot of mixed feelings about this chapter tbh, on one hand im really happy that chapter 199 wasn’t just an interlude and that old xian decided to continue it, and the thought of he tian buying an earring for guan shan and going to his house just to give it to him is frankly adorable to me (i bet he even reharsed how to do it, that nerd), but on the other the way old xian decided to portray it did leave me a bit disappointed, and i can’t say that i wasn’t expecting a bit more from he tian after everything that happened

(putting the rest under a cut because it got quite long;;;;;) [so strange, that never happens to me……..]

i personally didn’t perceive the weird atmosphere you felt in this chapter, the previous one was definitely lighter, but i think that even in their most gentle moments he tian and guan shan always have an underlying tension between them, which is not necessarily a bad thing!! but in these early stages of their relationship it can kind of escalate and get out of control for better or for worse, especially in a more serious situation

i did feel like we had a minor step back in their relationship in this chapter, tho, and to me it’s mostly because of he tian’s actions. i saw some people on my dash that guan shan felt off as well for them because three chapter ago he was walking comfortably beside he tian, but the way guan shan acted make sense to me, and we can’t forget that he tian showed up at guan shan’s house uninvited, so the situation is a bit different (last time something like that happened it was she li in he tian’s place, and look how well that turned out)

don’t get me wrong, i CAN understand why he tian acted like that, we have been proved time and time again that that is his own misguided way to show that he cares about and that he’s interested in guan shan (and i also have the impression that he is kinda terrified of a final outright rejection, but that’s just a personal theory of mine), but still, at this point i do feel like he should know better when it comes to guan shan

so yeah, this did feel like a step back to me, but it’s also one that im willing to forgive for now, because their relationship has always been constantly, albeit slowly, progressing and moving forward. what happened in this last chapter is the first time i felt like they went through a regression (unlike with jian yi and zheng xi, where we’ve been having them making two steps forward and three steps back in quite a while by now), so i can overlook it if it turns out to be a one time thing only, or if it gets properly called out and dealt with in the upcoming chapters

i don’t know if old xian did this on purpose because tianshan was moving too fast tbh, i have to admit that would feel kinda weird to me, because i think they still have a long way to go before getting together, and they also don’t have a future already set for them like jian yi and zheng xi, so old xian can do whatever they want with them. it might be that old xian doesn’t want tianshan to happen before zhanyi does, which………could work if it’s done right, but it could also ruin them. my biggest fear is that, whatever the reason may be, old xian will keep them stuck in the same place and make them run in circle over and over again like it happened with zhanyi: im already frustrated enough at their lack of progression, i don’t want this to happen with tianshan as well

the only thing we can do is trust old xian, tho, so let’s just keep our fingers crossed and hope that we’ll keep going to have the same wonderful progression we had up until now!!

[madwickedawesome]

OH MY GOOODDDDDD YEAH (i was going to put this in the tags but it was too much . so it's here now)(i am SO sorry this will not be eloquent in the slightest im just going to dump my thoughts in order of me thinking them) ACTUALLY IM PUTTING THIS UNDER A CUT BECAUSE IT IS SO LONG.

(the allegory of religious trauma hit a little too hard for my own wellbeing)

aziraphale is trapped in his reverence for heaven. heavens 'good' is JUST as intrinsic to aziraphales being as his love for crowley. they're just facts of life for him . he's based upon them. at a point they're the only things he knows!! and it is difficult!! quite frankly!!! to break free from something you've let guide you for ages no matter how terrible!!!! and he's not ready to face the idea that heaven is not good, has never been good, has certainly never been good for him. heaven is his home, where Deep Down he knows he's unloved but who can just face that? its his home!!

no matter how much crowley tries to ease him out of his ways, to make him realize heaven is terrible, aziraphale cant !! stop fighting for "good" because its Hard for him to question whether there was really any "good" to begin with!!!! and its because its such a major change for him. aziraphale is so infamous for Not Getting With The Times, for despising change, and heaven being Bad for him is a LOT to take in. he finds comfort in keeping heaven as a moral compass and keeping crowley at an arm's length; those are facts of life, after all. the metatron is Using his status as the Perfect Obedient Soldier of Heaven!!!! he is but a lamb of god!!!!! aziraphale has only ever wanted to be Good. that's also part of why its SUCH a big step that he's willing to be even closer with crowley post season 1.

not to further mention that aziraphale has been conditioned to . heaven and back. he must be virtuous he must be obedient he must have reverence for all creatures he must be ethereal he must be honest he must be courageous he must be all of these Good things!! and he's so blinded with the thought of Good that he's TERRIFIED of questioning his loyalty or acting out (i.e. his extreme fear of becoming a demon upon lying to gabriel back in 2500 b.c.). its not as simple as denying the metatron all in the name of crowley (as much as his microexpressions say he wants to), heaven's Goodness is undeniable, thank you very much, how could you possibly suggest otherwise? he cant just question things, that's how crowley fell. why would he want that? the metatron is Good and heaven should be Good and his ways must be Good so why should he defy the certainty of these??? that would make him bad, that would make him fall. (ALLEGORY FOR RELIGIOUS TRAUMA!!!)

FURTHERMORE. the theme of toxic relationships aka lindsay and nina this season????? the way nina, after gaining distance from lindsay, acknowledges in retrospect that lindsay probably hadn't loved her, at least not as of recent, but she felt inclined to stay nonetheless. THAT PARALLELS AZIRAPHALE AND HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(going insane) he cant truly acknowledge that heaven is awful for him until he's away from its influence, but he will continuously justify heaven's behavior, although he knows, somewhere rooted deep, that heaven doesn't love him. and he justifies heaven because its his terrible, awful, wonderful "home." plus, heaven is Everywhere; it's difficult to distance oneself from something Everywhere.

he's holding onto his love and reverence for heaven because what is life without it? is he even himself without heaven???

+ i don't have a paragraph for this. but it's important to acknowledge that aziraphale didn't even want the position until crowley was involved!! that's just a sidebar i find IMPORTANT but i dont have Loads to say as of right now nor do i know where i can even fit it here. sobs

the season relies so heavily on parallelism, between relationships and time and actions and objects and beings and the like!! and most importantly!! almost all of these parallels pertain to aziraphale and crowley's Complicated Relationship!!! they will never be Straightforward, and i think the ending illustrated that so very well :)

again i am SO terribly sorry for how long this is . one final thought is that aziraphale being a shostakovich fan was the best part of season 2 (guy who LOVES shostakovich watching good omens season 2: this is just like shostakovichs 5th symphonOH MY GOD.)(i absolutely cannot rant on this any longer this isn't even My post. but. shostakovichs 5th? is very. good omens heaven core.)(hands hovering above your shoulders.)

if i see ANYONE hating on aziraphale it’s on SIGHT!! aziraphale didn’t chose heaven over crowley!!! his first thought was to bring crowley with him! aziraphale loves crowley just as much as crowley loves him and you can SEE how painful it is for him to leave crowley behind. did aziraphale make a massive mistake? absolutely. do i want to smack some sense into him and tell him to go running back to his husband? yes. but more than anything i want to wrap him in a HUG and tell him that he is so much more than heaven. some of you guys don’t understand religious trauma. how deeply it warps your perception of the world and the decisions you make. how when it shatters a person, and putting the pieces back together isn’t simple, straightforward, or completely linear!! no healing is! i was raised in the church, haven’t believed for five years, and still sometimes worry if they’re right, if i am going to hell for leaving, if there is something deeply, fundamentally wrong with me that returning to god can fix.

does crowley owe it to aziraphale to forgive him? no. but will he? absolutely, 100%. he will be there when aziraphale is ready, because he loves aziraphale more than anything. and aziraphale isn’t ready today, which is heartbreaking for both of them, but he will be. they WILL get their happy ending.

[frenetic-chameleon]

hi sorry i had a lot typed and then my phone said No and sent my half finished response to the void so this might seem lackluster for the first paragraph or two simply bc i am having to repeat myself. dying inside over it but what can be done 😭 anyway.

bro you are so right wtf. i didn't catch it bc despite having the 4kidz version on dvd growing up and then watching the nickelodeon eps as they came out, it has been... a long time. but you're right. i did have a feeling that something wasn't quite right with stella's family dynamic but i didn't remember enough to put my finger on it— but yeah, they really did pull the abuse plotline right out of their asses, didn't they? idk if im remembering this right, but didn't stella adore her mom and like, look up to her a lot in the original??

BROOOO don't get me started on techna 😭😭💔 she was my favorite, after bloom. i get that she was never the most popular character and i do remember her getting snubbed even in the original... but that doesn't mean im happy they cut her out of the show completely. on one hand, i get it, because her thing is technology, which is harder to translate as magic for a modern audience with the advancements we've made but... wouldn't that have made for such a compelling plotline? her having to deal with the idea that she's not a real fairy because technology magic isn't real magic?

wouldn't it have been more interesting to explore the new social dynamics implied by the world they created, rather than doing a frankly insultingly shallow exploration of terra's experiences with fatphobia— when they aren't even making the effort to curb the actual fatphobia written into the show? like, not to sidebar, but they do know that makes it worse, right? like, please tell me they know it's worse— to not just acknowledge the problem but look it dead in the eyes and greet it before promptly ignoring the fuck out of it for the rest of the show! HELLO???? i feel like we're shouting into the void...

but anyway, i think techna's arc could have been similar to musa's. although i am not happy they made her a mind fairy, i will admit i think her magical arc is the most compelling— though that's not a high bar to clear, considering the writing. even bloom, their main character, does not have as cohesive a plotline as musa's semi-accidental magic-based emotional manipulation. i think musa struggles with her magic because of her own relationship to it; conversely i think techna would have struggled with her magic because of everyone else's.

idk, like, it just seems like such a missed opportunity... especially since the otherworld apparently has internet and social media apps despite being completely disconnected from the "first world" (earth) to the point that the doors between the two need to be unlocked with a special key (stella's ring). frankly this piece of worldbuilding doesn't make any sense to me either, and i think they're keeping it purposely vague because they don't actually have the skill to handle the concepts they're already using, much less the larger and more complex ones like "how are the worlds/realms different, how are they connected, etc." because, normally, in a story, that kind of worldbuilding would be extra and not something to be expected, but i feel like, considering bloom's situation, it is something that she would want to know and be interested in... and therefore would be something the audience could believably learn through her. i mean, she grew up in the "first world", and her parents are there. this world is completely new to her. you would think they'd show her wanting to know more about it, and how it relates to her world, in a way im pretty sure the original cartoon did.

anyway. moving on. lmfao im so like 💀 cuz i couldnt believe the one thing they didn't change was riven having toxic-ass relationships. this guy keeps getting the worst characterization and i kinda live for it. writers of both shows really said "fuck that guy in particular, actually, we're gonna make him a Total Asshole" AND THEN THEY DID. but fr don't get me going about the whole beatrix/riven/dane thing ill actually bite someones fingers off. im just so pissed about the way things were handled im honestly going gradually feral. it's the worst. im in hell. i finally get the first canonically bi-poly character since quentin coldwater and THIS is what they give me to work with. okay 😭 guess ill cope??

no but fr please why did they go that direction. please tell me it WASN'T just me who thought it was weird how they handle the bullying in this show. fr. i literally thought the writers were gunning for a dane/terra relationship but instead they went for... ruining the friendship by having him say the same things about her as everyone else, and having him get with the guy who ignored his lack of consent and pressured him into drinking?? the same guy who constantly makes kinda rude comments about gay people, and specifically about dane liking guys???? the guy who literally blackmailed him and threatened to out him???????? ok. and then they have stella actively bullying terra the same way riven does, but literally worse— and they say she MISSES IT while stella is gone???? IM SO ??????

im also really confused about beatrix's character honestly. is she supposed to be like the three witches combined into one? icy, stormy, and (brief pause where i have to look up the third one) ... darcy. wait fr did they really have a normal-named character in this mix of weirdos. what the fuck no wonder i can never remember her name!! anyway. moving on. dude like i get that she can just be her own character without parallels to the trix but i mean... they called her beatrix. they gave her lightning powers. for gods sake she LOOKS like one of them, she's a main villain, she's directly juxtaposed against bloom. hello helloooo for the love of god HELLO?? i s2g i feel like im seeing things just thinking abt this show. im so confused by all of the crew's choices

ok actually you are so right. and i think i do know why they killed off ms. dowling that way actually even if they were literally The Worst for it. i think it's probably a mix of a few things: A, they wanted that shock factor. snapping a neck on screen is gonna get people talking and get that shock-value rating up or whatever. B, she was the biggest source of positive influence in the show; despite having plot-relevant suspicion on her at all times, she was also just undeniably the least negative thing in the show. her entire thing was that she took over the school from rosalind's manipulative, abusive ass & then rehabilitated it into a place of positive learning. she explicitly stands between stella and her mother and shields stella the best she can. the fact that things immediately go, and pardon my hp terminology, full umbridge-era/deathy-hallows hogwarts the moment rosalind steps back into her role really paints a crisp picture of what the school (and their world) used to look like before dowling made that positive change. the showrunners want everything as gritty, depressing, and unbearable as possible. For the Aesthetic, yknow. so of course they killed her off. but it's lazy writing, it's bad writing, it's a disservice to the story and the character, and i am not happy about it.

here's a hot take i don't think anyone's willing to talk about

but if they needed to do a live action winx club (due to being pushed or branding or whatever) they. could've used the "we are believix" music video as a basis??

like it's no secret i fuckin hate fate and i feel it makes a mockery of the winx series as a whole but?? would've fuckin liked it INFINATELY more if it was like the music video.

would it have to be exactly like the mv? no because the wings are what you would find in a costume shop and everyone is wearing simple colorful dresses (which. is Worlds better then fate but i digress) but they could've used it as a starting point???

i dunno i have a lot of feelings about the believix era and the music video is still one of my favorite pieces of media from that
