NSFW ABCs for JIUNG

Mature content: 18+ post! Minors, do not enter!!

Summary: NSFW ABCs

Idol: JIUNG from p1harmony

A= Aftercare (what they’re like after the act)

Hear me out!!! He doesn't really do aftercare because he is constantly doing acts of service for you.  It's his main love language so there is no change. He is very attentive and constantly checking on you regardless of activities you engage in. 

B= Body part (favorite body part their own or their lovers)

He doesn't have a favorite. I feel like he is very self conscious on the down low. He would never speak or act insecure. He would just love to hear you praise his body. He doesn't have to think then. 

He knows body positivity is very hard which is why he LOVES ALL OF YOU.  He will constantly be telling you how much he loves you the way you are. He would not be turned off over a weight gain. 

C= Cum (anything that has to do with it)

He loves to cum in you.  He wants to breed you so badly. He is yours for life so create an army. He knows that's a very unreasonable goal but he would not be upset over it. 

D= Dirty secret (Pretty self explanatory)

Breeder. He wants to stuff you full. He gives off animalistic vibes when it comes to having sex with you. It's so much more than a fun activity. It's his purpose (very okay with faking it, probably wants to do that a lot). 

E= Experience (do they know what they’re doing)

I feel like he has more experience than most but for very sad reasons. He wanted to be desired so badly and most girls just wanted him sexually. He was okay fucking around to be able to feel loved. 

F= Favorite position 

Every. single. one. There is no such thing as a favorite. hahaha silly, you are perfect in literally every single one. There is no picking against perfection. 

G= Goofy (how serious are they)

He is more interested in romance and claiming. He doesn't think this is a funny activity. 

H= Hair (grooming habits)

I think you can tell him what to do. He doesn't care enough. He would rather you tell him actually. He wants you to be turned on so if grooming would affect that, tell him or he will ask.

I= Intimacy (in the moment romantic or rough/dirty)

Very romantic even when he is claiming you. It's full of so much love and worship.  He needs you to know you are the only one for him. It's not often he shows his love physically. This is why it's so important to him to keep it serious, and romantic. 

J= Jack off (do they masturbate and how often)

I honestly don't think he wants to. Sex is only for you now. He will wait for his partner to also be ready. 

K= Kink (kinks what they like possibly unusual)

Wants you pregnant. He thinks the idea is so hot. He would do anything you want. Like anything for you to be able to get off while he is trying to breed you. Also low key wants to be heard fucking you. It makes him horny just think about people knowing he fucks you so good. He would rather keep the idea fantasy though. 

L= Location (where they like to get it on)

Anywhere safe. You deserve to be filled everywhere you are ready for. 

M= Motivation (things that makes them tick/turn ons)

I think you know the answer. Babies. 

He is just motivated by loving you too. 

N= No (turnoffs or absolutely won’t do)

Not one to share.. people would be more likely to watch before being able to touch. Only he can be that lucky. 

O= Oral (receiving or giving and how skillful they are)

Loves giving oral. I don't think he is worried about receiving it. He's turned on by your desire to do it but not anything else. It feels good but he would rather be inside of you.

P= Pace (how fast they are and how long they last in bed)

He loves everything about being in you.  So he would go fast, slow, rough, sweet. He will do it all. He can last a very long time because he wants to live there.

Q= Quickie (do they prefer fast and hard)

These never work out so he can't take the risk anymore. The company is fed up. 

R= Risk (do they like to try new things)

If you want it, you get it as long as no one else is involved. Yes, this means he would let you have control BUT it's silently understood he is in control no matter what. He would let you peg him too. 

S= Stamina (how many times they can go and how long each round lasts)

Will meet your desires. He can make it last but can shorten it as needed.  

T= Toys (are they game for using sex toys on themselves or lovers)

Willing to try it out for you. He would be turned on by you buying them more than anything. He is here to breed you so whatever it needs to look like to be accomplished. 

U= Unfair (how do they tease or do they enjoy suspense themselves)

Most reasonable man ever.  It's your way 100% as long as he can cum in or on you. 

V= Volume (are they loud, what sounds, and do they talk)

Very loud. Moans so much. He loves doing it in your ears. He will also wanna tell you how much he wants to fill you up and make you cum. So into dirty talk unless you aren't a fan (just let him cum inside if he can't talk you through it).

W= Wild card (random sincannon of any sort)

When you do get pregnant, it will be harder for him to control his sexual urges. He waited so long and you are literally so perfect.

X= X-ray (what’s down below in dem pants)

Boyfriend dick. Perfect and it's so pretty. One of the prettiest ever. It's literally girl written perfect. 

Y= Yearning (sexdrive level)

Normal unless you are a very horny girl. He will match you. He can't go lower than average though. You are too sexy for that. He is so fair, let him have this. 

Z= Zzzz (do they sleep after if so how quickly after)

Very rare for him to sleep. He has to guard you for a while before he can do that. You guys also fuck randomly.

Ello! I Hope Ya Don’t mind me requesting a Crossover headcanon! Basically Pokémon Arven meeting a friendly Mandela catalogue Alternative Reader/Y/n who has a team of a grumpy Gengar yet affectionate,a motherly yet quickly protective Houndoom and a Cheerful and Innocent Mimikyu.Primarily they were the Pokémon of a Bad trainer who didn’t treat them well and well generally other people so Reader basically decided “say goodbye to your free trial of life” and basically takes theyre identity and Pokémon so they can have a better life? :D

OHHH this one is super genius I love it <3

..........

As an Alternate living in the Pokémon world, you were always searching for a target. Someone's identity to steal.

Of course, this was no easy task...considering certain Pokémon types were attuned to their trainer's emotions (especially psychic and fairy types).

So they'd know right away if anything changed about their personalities and overall "energy".

One day, you see a boy with platinum-blond hair challenging some kid who looked rather mean, especially when they yelled at their own Pokémon, tearing them down rather than lifting them up.

"Stop whining, Mimikyu. I'm not wasting a burn heal on you just because you missed the Play Rough! You had a 90% chance of hitting that stupid pepper and you blew it!"

"Hey. Yelling at your Pokémon isn't gonna win you this fight." The boy starts, giving his Scovillain a healing potion. "I'll give you this turn to do the right thing..or else that burn is gonna knock it out-"

"Don't tell me what to do! We're gonna power through this and win!!"

But as you see...that trainer's arrogance becomes their downfall as Mimikyu attacked but didn't do enough damage, eventually fainting from the stress and the lingering burn effect.

The battle drags on as they bring out Gengar next, who manages to take down his Pokémon in one hit. But as their trainer cheers, the ghost's grimace becomes a happy smile as they try hugging them to celebrate--

Only to be pushed away roughly.

"Get off me! I don't want your Lick to paralyze me!"

Your anger slowly grows when you see how sad Gengar looks...and you begin festering empathy for these innocent creatures.

The last one sent out is a Houndoom who goes in and attacks, effortlessly taking down another one of the boy's (whose name you learned was "Arven" by this point) Pokémon.

Yet she didn't drink up the praise her trainer gave, instead sending them a cold glare that they returned in kind.

"What? If you're gonna be ungrateful, then go back in your pokeball, bitch....why are you growling?! Technically you're a female dog and I'm using the right term!"

That's the final straw for you.

And the moment you settled on a good target.

You began following their daily routine, seeing how truly sweet their main three Pokémon were..but also recognizing that this wasn't the first time they've been verbally abused.

The Houndoom was motherly towards Gengar and Mimikyuu...and only followed her trainer's orders to protect them both from punishment.

But you decided to be the one who protects all three of them.

So you tormented the trainer for a while, convincing them they were being haunted by a ghost-type and making them look crazy in front of all their peers and future challengers.

And you erased all their pokedex progress.

By the end, you killed and replaced them entirely in their sleep, and you kept the disguise up well (aside from the flaws typical to your species).

Yet all your "new Pokémon" noticed was your abrupt change of heart....though it took Houndoom a while to genuinely warm up to you.

She only did after you gave Gengar a much-deserved hug--they were crying tears of joy and at first she thought you upset them until she saw the smile.

After that, they were all willing to battle alongside you, especially Mimikyuu who was cheerier than ever whenever you brought them out, doing your best given what knowledge you gained from watching other trainers.

You spoiled them with treats, courtesy of the human scum you replaced and the thousands of pokedollars they selfishly kept for themselves.

When you crossed paths with Arven, he can immediately tell something's different about who he considers the "rudest trainer in Paldea".

You tell him that you're not a Pokémon, but a creature similar to a Ditto, explaining that you basically took their identity and Pokémon to give them a better life.

While he thinks identity theft is a very serious crime....he finds your actions justifiable and befriends you from there on.

[sunkissedliterarylightofchrist]

not the screen time anon but I was interested in your advice there and I'm wondering... how much time do you spend on social media? not in the sense to microscope your life or make you feel bad im genuinely curious how you define that yeah aslfjdsadflasdfasd how much screen time do you think is valuable and what do you cut out?

So my rule of thumb for social media is to keep what is valuable and cut out everything else with no exceptions. So, what is valuable to me, is A) gaining inspiration and advice and learning for things I can apply to my own life, B) friendship C) growing my own skills D) helping others. That's what I want to use social media for. Those four things are perfectly supplied by Pinterest and Tumblr specifically, and I do not need anything else or any other apps or sites to 'keep up' with or distract me from my goals and plans. I also use YouTube occasionally to listen to music or learn something or for my education, but in general it is not a form of entertainment for me either, its almost never something I go watch for relaxation.

But that's all I've got, because it's all I need. Name any other app or service, and I don't have it and probably never have gotten it in the first place. It's not adding anything to my life, so why should I let it waste my time? Simple as that.

I don't want to be someone who aimlessly goes through multiple social media apps, bopping between them mindlessly like shuffling through a fridge, bored because my pleasure-seeking hormones have already been fried by so much passive consumption with no clear goal at all besides the lazy mindless entertainment screens provide that hit your mind specially, rather than getting up and actually doing something productive that I actually enjoy doing and is genuinely good for me to do. I have too far to go in life and too many goals to achieve and too high of a standard for myself to allow that. I don't have five or more hours a day to be spent staring at a screen that isn't getting me anywhere. I have God to glorify with my tangible actions and A's to get and 6 miles to run and my small business to start and my family to love and physically challenging hobbies to get better at that require time and skill. I know what my priorites are, and everything else goes.

Now, I'm not saying delete all socials ever and become a hermit and never look at a computer again. Social media can be a wonderful thing! IF you treat it right. Social media should be a snack in your life, not a meal. I love Tumblr. I've made friends on here that have changed and improved my life for the better so so much. I would be devastated if they ever deactivated without telling me where I could find them, or if I suddenly had to walk away from my account for an extended period of time without warning, I'd be worried about worrying them. If anyone asked me, I would indeed say that my space here is an important part of my life.

But the important thing is that it is not a main part. If I did have to give it all up forever, I would be sad about the friends part, but not the social media part, and I would be just fine. I have so much life and agency and things I love outside of a screen that my day to day would change little. That's the important thing. For so so many people, they barely have a life outside of a screen, and that worries me. I never want that to be me. So that's why I'm so strict with myself about limiting my online time and spaces. I value the real world over the online one.

So if you're looking for how much time I spend on socials, here's a rough breakdown:

Pinterest: Unless I am intentionally researching something for a creative project, I spend less than thirty minutes on here a day. I pull it out once or twice to look at pretty pictures while waiting for something else, like my family to finish getting ready before we go somewhere, but I don't go to it just for the sake of being on it for an extended amount of time- and by extended I mean more than ten minutes. Because most of the use from this app is just passive consumption. Which is not something I value. It's okay in small doses, but beyond that it is not, and therefore, I don't need it to take up much of my valuable time.

Tumblr: This is where almost all of my online time goes. Any and all of my active posting to anywhere is on this site. Because I do not want or need to post anywhere else. And how much time I'm on here depends on the day and how much free time I have. I check it casually throughout the day or make silly short posts for maybe an hour to ninety minutes when I'm taking breaks between other tasks as a rest, looking at it for ten-twenty minutes here and there throughout the day. That's my cap for any passive time I spend on here, consuming other people's content. And honestly, it should be shorter and I should spend less. That's going to be a big focus for me this month, to spend less of my free time on here when I could spend that twenty minutes of rest between my class and my job doing something else.

I treat my longer posts differently. The ones about analysis or answering asks like this one. Because I'm proactively creating something about something I am passionate about. This part of social media isn't mindless or time wasting, spending an hour doing a deep dive analysis on a song from my favorite album is valuable time spent to grow my skills as a writer and thinking and analyzer that will serve me in many other ways. Spending some time before bed going through asks like this one, when people are asking for my help, isn't me procrasinating other important real-life priorities I have (as long as I do it right and don't allow it to take over), its actually valuable interaction and relationships that have a tangible positive impact on my mental health and make my life better. I don't have time to spend on these longer posts every day, and often a single post like this will take me several of me chipping away at it here or there, but I have no problem when I do have the free time to spend multiple hours writing longer posts for my blog here. Because it is incredibly valuable in a multitude of ways.

The key with assessing how much time to spend on it is in relation to my real life priorities and goals and such. I don't want it to take over my life and take away from other things. So I split my free time in to categories. Some free time must be spent actively creating something in the real world, like art, some free time can be spent actively creating on here, and a very small amount of free time throughout the day can be spent passively consuming something of someone else's. I continue to try more and more to make sure I'm spending the appropriate amount of time in each category in relation with my life and goals. And as I grow as a young woman, I am intentionally trying to spend less and less time passively and mindlessly looking at something else when I could be creating it instead.

I hope this was helpful!

Headcanons! Some Spoilers?

My first post got a lot more attention than I thought it would, so I'm just gonna drop some headcanons. I'll do a few different characters from different shows, anime/mangas, etc. If you don't know much about the characters, there will be some info on them that some people may not know already (Ex; character death, big events, whatever).

Some HCs are on the sad side while others are just silly, nonserious ones.

Also, if you disagree with any of these HCs, that's totally fine! Please just don't be negative about it or anything. And if you want to correct me on anything, go right ahead.

First up, I'm gonna do Jason Todd from the Batman Comics/shows. I love Jason so much, nothing could ever make me hate him <3

I feel like he'd believe in "hair holding memories" thing, so after his death and revival, he'd shave his head countless times to try and forget all the bad memories. Poor boy :(

For a happier HC, I think he'd be an absolute boss at Just Dance or automatically become the God of a video game that any of his younger 'siblings' need help with beating.

I also have a slight feeling he'd cheat during a silly 'family game night' thing and be hiding uno cards in his jacket or something LOL. Bro's the type to make one move during a game of chess before giving up and flipping the board.

Onto Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen :D

I used to be a huge Gojo hater for no reason lol, but now he's kinda one of my favorites.

Since it's canon that he has a sweet tooth, I have a feeling he stress eats/bored eats (eats a bunch when stressed out or bored) and gets tummy aches pretty often from that.

I feel like he'd tear up a dance floor at a stupid little highschool event or something, but not like normal dancing. Bro probably dances like a Hotel Transylvania character LMFAO.

Lastly, Diluc Ragnvindr from Genshin Impact!!

Fun fact: he was my first main besides the traveler on Genshin Impact.

I HC that the poor man has a rough time sleeping (specifically after the Snezhnaya events and the death of his father). Whenever Kaeya sneaks into the Dawn Winery, he probably holds his big brother until he can sleep peacefully <3

(NO, I DO NOT ship the brothers in GI or the Batfam. Get those brownies outta here /ref)

Another silly HC I got is that Diluc used to be the sweetest kid in Mondstadt, but was unintentionally a little chaos magnet. Definitely a leash child so Crepus wouldn't have a heart attack when wondering where his son ran off to for the 60th time that day.

Bonus HC: Babysitter Varka. Must I say any more? Bro's probably still a big father figure in Diluc's life and sends weekly letters checking up on him.

Y'all are so lucky I forgot about HSR characters, otherwise I woulda yapped about at least 6 of them LOL. Might make a separate post later just for them, maybe multiple. Who knows.

If you noticed, yes. I learned how to insert images and I will 100% abuse that. When I learn how to insert emojis, I'm abusing that too. (I'm on a computer so I don't have emojis available as of right now.)

If you want to request HCs of any other character from the mentioned fandoms(? Is that what you call it?), go right ahead and ask! I probably won't get to it immediately since cramps are manhandling me right now, but I'll do it ASAP.

Anyways, have a great day, evening, and/or night, and make sure you stay hydrated!

Midnight snacks AU (rough draft)

This is an AU where pretty much, Sue, Mary, Allan and other characters are thrown into a crime case where one of the character's relatives might be committing the crimes. During this, some sillier, slice of life moments happen, while more trauma related stuff also occur and it just gets crazier. This isn't well thought out yet and I won't do too much yet.

Mains: Sue, Mary, Allan and potentially others.

Important/potential mains: James, Skip, Shannon, Mindy, Penny, Robby, Quinn.

Theres some other characters that will be in this. Those selected will definitely be in there.

There's more characters that might join in and some completely original characters. The ocs will be somewhat important but won't appear too often. 1 is super important, another is important towards one specific character and the other is connected to said character but something happened to them but not all that impactful.

This isn't finalized. I won't be doing anything with this yet. Some characters might become important or main or some can go from important to side. It's a mess and I don't want this to be comically messed up. It's probably going to be 70% fun/normal and 30% sad/messed up. I only have the opening thought out.

Im unsure if I should make this on digital or traditionally. Traditional is good for that I have more time but the camera is mixed. Digital looks more clear but I have less time due to my school not allowing phones, at least for now. I might get a scanner if i go traditional or I might do both.

Mass Effect Tag Game

Stole this thing from @messydiabolical. :)c Anyone is welcome to steal it from me as well!

-

I am a fan since: Forgot what year it was but I remember ME2 had already been out for a while before I bought ME1. But I caught up quickly and got to experience the release of the Arrival DLC in real time. :D

Favourite game of the series?: It's hard to pick between 1 and 2, but I'll say 2 because the concept of loyalty missions is MY JAM. Also ME2 is my favorite graphics-wise, it's got that high contrast I love so much. (hate the simplified skill trees though)

MShep or FShep?: Most of my Sheps are fSheps because the character creator for mSheps isn't versatile enough for me. :( Where's the long hair! Let me look impractical!

Earthborn, Colonist or Spacer?: I might slightly prefer Earthborn. I enjoy playing characters who've had a rough start in life and made some bad decisions, but grew up to become decent people anyway.

Biotics or Tech: Can't pick, I like variety!

Paragon or Renegade: peace for everybody in the galaxy :') But I reeeaally love the Renegade eyes so I do have some mean Sheps as well.

Favourite Class: I used to main the Infiltrator class but in my most recent run I really enjoyed the Adept. Hard to pick a favorite but I do know my favorite class is NOT the Sentinel, it always feels clunky to me somehow.

Favourite Companion: Tali or Javik. Kaidan and Thane are nearby too. Tali's character development feels very natural and wonderful to me on every playthrough and I always love to see it. Javik is a fave because he's haunted and completely alone and that combo always hooks me like, I MUST see to it that this sad man has at least one nice thing in his life.

Least favourite Companion: It's the writers' fault but Liara. It gets really old when the same companion treats you like her love interest in all 3 games no matter what. I haaaate forced hugs in roleplaying games, don't put me through that, it'll ruin the character for me.

My squad selection: In my most recent playthrough it was unsurprisingly Javik and Tali. But I also ran with Vega quite often in the early game and I kinda missed him in the end game, haha.

Favourite In-game romance: Kaidan, especially with mShep because I really enjoy a slow burn of several years. 🔥

Other pairings I like: I am motioning at my blog and presenting to you Tazzik and the Shadow Broker...... no i don't have anything else to offer at this time

Favourite NPC: I like all these shady-ass salarians like Anoleis and Jaroth and Maelon and Linron (yes) (no i'm not defending her, i just find mean characters interesting sometimes) and Chorban and probably others. Valern isn't all that shady but still a fave. Charn! And Balak, I always look forward to finding out how my Shepard reacts to him. Zaal'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib I always loved you and I knew you were the best admiral before ME3 ever happened

Favourite Antagonist: the Shadow Broker, I was so into the mystery in ME1 and man I was not disappointed when we got the reveal. I would have loved to learn more about his early life.

Favourite Mission: ME2's Suicide Mission because I lovvve how it's a culmination of all your previous actions. It felt really scary and chaotic on my first playthrough and like anything could happen. Now I know all the mechanics so nothing surprises me, but I still look forward to seeing every little detail play out.

Favourite Loyalty Mission: Tali. Also Mordin. And Samara, ugghhh I love Omega and I love playing bait uwu

Favourite DLC: Hmmm I love about half of LotSB very much but I might like Bring Down the Sky more as a whole? The mood is great, it's not super long, and nothing about it annoys me. :D I've only played the Leviathan DLC once so far so I'm not confident enough to call it a fave yet but I liked it a lot, too.

Control, Synthesis or Destroy: I just wanted an ending where we finally talk the Reapers down and they go "yeah u right actually, let's not fight anymore. :( handshake?". All this star child borderline magic stuff is kinda goofy to me. I've picked Destroy almost every time tho.

Favourite Weapon: Recently enjoyed the Blood Pack Executioner... Historically I've probably used the Widow the most. Also I LOVE the way the Revenant looks but I can't stand using it myself lmao. My hand hurts just thinking about it.

Favourite Place: nnnoooo there's so many good places. I adore the Shadow Broker's ship, first of all. Such a cool concept. Noveria for the snow and miserable people. Feels like home. I loved visiting the Migrant Fleet! But my absolute favorite place is probably Omega because it's so rough yet there's still a weird sense of community.

A quote I like: The first that came to mind is "I have a home." Idk, I don't really remember quotes unless they're repeated over and over and by that point I start hating them.

Okok so 🤭

My submission for your event ❤️

🦋 Name: Dresvi; Vi; Dres - you decide 💞

🦋 Description:

Gameplay; I was a Razor main for a long time - then I became the Albedo main I am now ❤️ I don't have a weapon I absolutely hate or can't stand - but I noticed that I barely play pole arm users :( also, I don't like Xiao's, Hu Taos, Dehyas, Heizous, Cynos gameplay that much - its just boring to me idk I can't really explain.. but I love Xingqius, Ventis and Qiqis gameplay the most atm! (Soon also Baizhus 🤭) it's just so elegant and easy to do! And the combination is great too - freeze and swirl! My gameplay is basically "random bullshit go" I am not that much of a strategical playing person - as long as the enemy dies, everythings good 💞 so yea, I also don't care much 'bout meta

Personality: um my friends would describe me as a caring, gentle person - who ya can always vent to / go to when you have problems. Many people also say I have some kind of Rizz (even people on Tumblr here 👁️) but I am just being honest with them 🤭 but also; even I am not perfect. I am very clumsy and also I have a hard time opening up (especially about my past), sadly - but I am glad I have my friends with me who are understanding! ❤️ Also a very important personality trait of mine: I love to learn / experience new things! I want to learn as much new things in life as I can - so I can grow as a person and use this wisdom to help other people! And also cuz the world is so interesting and also the things with it are too! Cuz of that - I tend to ask many questions but that's alright! The people I am with know I mean no harm with them; it's quite the opposite actually; I just want to learn new things! 🫶 Oh I nearly forgot - I am often quite happy and just.. excited! But when I am angry or sad, I have a hard time to express it / communicate it :( still need to learn how to do it, but I'll do my best! ❤️

🦋 Scenario: anything ya think of, dear! 🫶

🦋 Use of vision: yes, sure - I wanna see the surprise 👁️

Take your time with the matchup please! 🫶❤️

Get enough rest, eat enough and stay hydrated dear! 💞

Btw - you're one of the first Tumblr writer I found and followed here! And I am glad about that! You seem like a great person!! 💫

Also you're the first ever Tumblr writer I interacted to 🤭

Just felt like saying it, heh ❤️

Have a great day / night dear!! 💞

(1k event found here!)

Vision: Anemo, Partner: Baizhu

Scenario(s):

he loves your excitement when you two try out new things, it's just adorable to him! Honestly, he didn't expect you to agree so quickly when he wanted to... try something. little did you know that it'd involve him using his vision when you two were getting intimate.

as you lie comfortably in front of him, he kisses you deeply and passionately. his hands feel up your body gently, not too rough as he wants to savor this moment.

it was a bit of a shock when you felt more than just his hands roaming around your body, the tips of the vines that caressed you were quite... strange but they moved just as softly as his hands did.

they would often touch along your nipples when his hands were busy holding your waist or keeping your legs open while he focused on where you wanted him most.

he did indeed love to please you whenever he got the chance.

[weirdestcornelius]

This is the first time (and I hope the last) that I will send a critic here. I confess that I'm no longer a fan of this comic and I could very well be doing something more productive, but I wanted to get that out of my head.

I will express my biggest criticism of the world of SCH.

One of my favorite things about SCH was the planet Spinch. I've always liked series with long-scale lores, as it creates many possibilities not only for the public but also for the author and Kc could use this, but no.

CC, an AU that could bring a greater scale focus only on the Comet family to the point where we don't know anything about other characters.

DM, the whole mystery (which was very well done) and the cast being completely different cast from SCH or CC made me excited until it was revealed that they are reincarnations, making it appear probably another excuse to make more cometkids.

The only thing we have unreleated from SCH is Karmagdon, which Kc seems to have forgotten, something that makes me sad.

Combine this with a meaningless reproduction system, a world without conflicts or "politics" (even though that a president and the capitalist system exist), based solely on american culture (despite its size) and the only bad character presented so far in 6 years is Cuddles (which is boring villain), the planet Spinch looks more a great amusement park of a american white dream for the comets, that things happens bcuz yes.

Sorry for this long rant or any english error (it's not my first language).

Don't worry about the rant or the English. I'm happy people are comfortable enough here to share their thoughts, even if they're not still fans of the comic.

I feel like the Spinch world building was good at first, what with how thought out Virtuism and the gods were; it was a good parallel to Christianity while not being Christianity. The different countries and the different climates of each country were a charming detail that may seem irrelevant in the long run, but it was yet another thing that helped us connect it to Earth. But as it became more and more focused with shipping and fankids instead of its original purpose, the world building suffered as a result.

I'm personally fine with CC being focused around the main family, because it gives me family sitcom vibes if it was handled well. Which it isn't, but considering how hyped arc 5 is being it will hopefully show off some actual emotion in the series.

I have never been really interested in Darkermatters because after I heard about it the "bombshell" of the main four being reincarnations of pollarrydoomi had already been dropped. The concept of Darkermatters was interesting, and the reincarnation thing could have been handled in an equally interesting way, but it wasn't. In the end it all wraps back around pollarrydoomi, which is a shame because I really liked some of the characters' designs but I know that's all the au is going to be about.

I never liked that Spinch was literally just the exact same all around. Yes, it would need to take place in a capitalist country for Sparklecare to even really make sense, but why can't other countries be any different? Why does EVERYONE have the same beliefs? The world building is also skewed in favor of one side by painting scientists as people who ignore evidence of magic and berate others who don't believe the same as them, so the world building is ALSO bigoted.

I'm taking suggestions on how to make Spinch more life-like in my rewrite. I already have rough ideas for cultures and governments, so I'm hoping it will come off less flat and white america-ish.

supergirl special rewrite-ish

my main gripe with the supergirl special is that it didn't clarify anything about kara's actual life.

i feel like we need just a liiiittle break from kara stories focused solely on how sad she is about krypton?? like don't get me wrong, i like a lot of those stories but i feel like first she needs to actually get reestablished on earth because right now we don't know shit about her personal life.

in my version the story would be focused on kara and her secret identity because right now we don't know where it stands. we know she probably has one because she has her own apartment and regular people clothes, but we don't even know anything else :/ so basically quick bullet points about my version (i took a bit of inspo from mistah kuppaberg and sg v2 #plagerism)

-kara is up supergirling and stuff, pretty practised and routinely. she's clearly been at this for a while without break and is at least kinda on autopilot when something(idk yet, i told you this was a rough idea. probs seeing clark or someone else in their secret identities?) snaps her into introspecting about that herself.

-she thinks about how right now she hasn't really been caring about her life as linda lee (danvers? idk what the adoption status of kara is right now. i'll stick with linda lee) and through this introspection we can explain where she's at and what her status is right now, something we haven't gotten yet within dawn of dc

-the sunday family dinners can still be a thing and i would have a similar thing happen like in tamaki's comic where kara is lost in thought and staying at the table. clark would ask her if she's good and then she would ask to talk to him or something

-then they'd have a lil heart-to-heart about how she feels like she's supergirl all the time and wants more for herself and by the end she decides to move to a different city (or country idk. could put her in canada like in jlu lmao) to establish her life.

-the comic would probs end with her on the train to her new home (very sg v2 issue 1)

so yeah! that's it. very rough but that's kinda what i would've done. i tried to keep it within what i could've done in 38 pages but if i had more there were some things i probably would have added. i might make another post of how i would do the first issue of her solo that takes place after this

For the latest batch of FOX adult animation shows from 2019 onward, favorite character from: Bless the Harts, Duncanville, HouseBroken, The Great North, Krapopolis, Grimsburg, and Universal Basic Guys?

Bless the Harts: Wayne. Ike Bernholtz does a great job as a loveable southern dad. As for the show itself, it's okay. I couldn't really get into it as it's charming but not really that funny and the characters aren't anything I haven't seen before.. aside from Jesus who is pretty great and Wayne is something i've seen before but hard not to love regardless. He's like the good counterpart to McMUrray from letterkenny. I get why the show has fans, I think it's shared universe connection with King of the Hill is neat and more shows should have mega lo mart pop up, the way many shows after and during superstore have cloud 9 pop up (Not a fan of that show either, but I like a good shared universe).

Duncanville: Duncan's dad Jack, played solidly by ty burrell. This show.. is agressively mediocre. I have never seen a show reach the middle this hard. I wanted to like it: I like a good teen slice of life show, I love amy Pohler and Ty Burrel, but my god the characters are one note. Mike Scully can do better.. while his simpsons era is pretty rough as it goes, it wasn't without humor and he did pre show running days write one of the greatest non sequiters of a subplot ever created

Everything about this scene is great: "First you get the sugar", the animation in homer's rant and of course after rewatching this episode one of my faviorite weird simpsons bit: the british man

The show itself is nothing I haven't seen before and the creative team can do better. Amy Poehler especially.

HouseBroken: No real faviorites. I watched the first ep.. and could not get into this and the more I read the less I cared, especially the whole thing about the leads being treated as "married" despite the fact.. neither of them choose this? Honey's husband was chosen for her by her owner. It's fine to explore that idea of two dogs being set up as mates entirely by their owners and how unsatisfying that could be emotionally, but don't try to pitch it like someone she clearly dosen't love or like being around and didn't have a choice in being with should be her husband because of a marriage she didn't choose.

The show itself is mediocre and it's the unfortuante pattern with the bulk of the shows here. There isn't a lot of effort or style. It's why i'm badly waiting for the Bloom County animated show to happen. Besides being something i've wanted since I was a teen that i'm deathly afraid has been scrapped, the strip it's based on, while one of my faviorite things also just has a unique style to it in both art and writing. It'd be something specail like Bobs Burgers or Great North. Instead the bulk of shows we get are bog standard animated shows that either waste a good premise or have a generic one. This one is the former, as the IDEA is great, it just dosen't really make good jokes or drama with it.

The Great North: The one great show in this block and the best show in animation domination right now. Bobs is still great. A favorite is hard with this show as all of the main cast is great and the side cast has Bethany and a few other standouts, but Beef wins. He's one of the best sitcom dad's ever, much like Bob before him (And cocurrently with him since this is fox and all) a man whose inherently weird and deeply focused on fishing, the alaskin wildlife, yet dosen't try to hold his kids down to his style, encourages them, loves them, and supports them. He's a good man dealing with trauma from a deeply terrible marriage and sad childhood, who you can't help but root for, Hank Hill with less of a stick up his ass (Helped by having a much healthier father figure in Delmer to ballance out his own parents).

The show itself is one of my faviorites running, a warm blanket of comfort I constantly worry won't last, but i'm loving while it's here. It's got a truly stacked voice cast: faviorites of mine Nick Offerman, Jenny Slate, Will Forte and Jane Lynch join with actors who have become faviorites thanks to this series Paul Rust, Aparna Nancherla (Who also has a fucking great guest role on Abott Elementary), and Dulce Sloan. The Tobins have the nice vibes of the belcher from their sister show, weird and unique but loving, but still feel unique, with their alaskan lifestyle making for some weird traits and most character pairings being comedic gold on some level. We also get Will Forte constantly putting his foot in his mouth about how hot his dad is

If you can't enjoy that, I don't know what to say to that frankly. It's Tobias Funke levels of foot in mouth syndrome I didn't know could be reached by any other character.

The show is helped by it's consitant evolution: where as most shows, even it's big sister bobs burgers, on fox tend to live in a stasis with maybe one or two changes and if theyd idn't start that way theys ure end up there, the great north gently changes the status quo as it goes: Beef has slowly processed his wife leaving him over the last 4 seasons and likely into the next, going from his deep denial in the pilot, to slowly dating again to his current steady and adorable relationship with Carissa. Youngest Moon has a slow burn relationship with Quinn. The Family gains a new member in Aunt dirt, Beef's elderly aunt who turned out to have been living in a bunker on the property. I mean look i'll gladly greet any show that puts more Jane Lynch in it, especailly when they had none, but dirt is fresh.

Finally the show is nicely progressive: The main cast is mostly white with Honeybee being the only exception, but the side cast has plenty of indigenous alaskans, the way the state was colonized is not ignored, and biggest of all it's the first solidly long running fox show to have a queer character in the main cast, and the first I've spotted in this to have said character not be a sterotype. Ham is just a weird spacey guys who loves making cakes and his boyfriend, while Dirt is out and proud after years shoved in the closet and then in a bunker. Both deal with issues but their unique ones, moon dealing with the fact his coming out wasn't a big deal and he did so several times and the media telling queer youth coming out IS a big deal (Which it can be but dose'nt have to), and Dirt dealing with finally being openly gay and worried about if she can handle it. The characters sexualities are part of their characters without being the only thing there and tha'ts lovely. This show is damn near perfect and deserves full seasons again. Which it's probably still getting but shoudln't be crammed into the early half of the year with the excess burned off later. Same with Bob's burgers. As for why that's happening...well we do have three other shows.

Krapopolis:

Yeah Krapopolis was already ice skating uphill before it even launched: It was announced as being the first cartoon on the block chain and just before launch Richard Ayodade did a glowing quote for transphobe and wankphesant Grant Lineham's book, something that he's STILL never properly adressed. So disney thought keeping him in hamster and gretel was okay.. but actual trans content was a bridge too far?.. yeah that tracks. I dont' know what I was expecting. I was also expecting Fox to recast him but that never happened.

Still the show had Hannah Waddingham and Matt Berry and was created by Dan Harmon, who has a pretty good track record (even if Rick and MOrty has gone off the rails it started well) and a solid premise of a well meaning king in one of the first cities in the world.

In practice.. it's a pretty stock family sitcom that wastes Berry on a character whose only trait is I LIKES TO HAVE SEX AND DON'T LOOK CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE. I really need to watch what we do in the shadows to see a show that actually know what it's got, one that will have his character make a dead racoon powered jerkoff machine, but also have comedic depths. I mean he's also making a frankenstines monster or talking about NEW YORK CITTTAAYYY or pretending to be a bartender or shouting bat. I... may need to make that a retrospective next year, if nothing else to just finally sit down and watch the show.

The idea is good but it's used to just make a stock sitcom beneath everyone except Ayodade, who fucking deserves it. No one else here deserves this. I will not accept a matt berry animated series I do not deserve. And yes that's my main sticking point: Matt Berry is one of my faviorite comedic actors, able to bring life and energy into any role from when I first saw him on mighty boosh, to his criminally underseen roles on toast of london and snuffbox, to present day where he finally got his flowers with what we do in the shadows. He's done some voice work but hasn't comitted to a full series before this as he's been so damn busy, and it's a fucking waste. Same with Hannah Waddingham. The Garfield Movie, no matter what you think of it, uses her WAY better and actaully gets who it has. Get these two to Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel PRONTO.

Grimsburg: This one also just kinda exists and wastes talent actors. You got John Hamm to play Will Arnett congradulations. It has a good premise at least and unlike a lot of these tries to use it, it's just not a premise for me and dosen't seem THAT far removed from the usaul adult cartoon formula that was already tired and not well liked before this show happened.

Universal Basic Guys: Joke about it being basic goes here. I will be kind: I love the theme song, and I love fred Armisen being in a main role. I wanted to love this one more but it's the same song and dance: decent premise (Some blue collar workers get 3000 a month from a UBI program), agressively stock execution. This one is especailly stock as NONE of the characters stand out. Even Hank's brother, the funniest character here, is still your stock chill weirdo who goes on adventures. But he's at least fun to watch with his weird yogi bear cadance and insane b plots. The show itself isn't: it's the same stuff we've already seen done way better on simpsons and family guy reheated twice.

This was the most bitter of these so far.. and understandably so. Outside of Bless the Harts which while not for me, at least has some heart to it and the masterpiece that is the great north, none of these have gone on too long and no one has really cared they existed after they first aired. Krapopolis got the wrong kind of buzz for being "the first cartoon on the blockchain" something that didn't materalize as Krypto fizzled out before that could happen, but that's about it. These shows make watching the Simpsons and Bobs each week live a task as I have to kill half an hour between them. I'm BADLY hoping Bloom County wasn't shelved as Fox needs another show anchoring the block. I mean from the looks of hitpig a berkely breathead work can go wrong, but I have hope i'll get the cartoon i've dreamed of out of this. Please fox. Please.

Not an eldest daughter week :( those are always the worst. I can definitely relate to that so I know how hard it can be to set boundaries! It’s truly never as easy as it seems even if you end up doing that. But at least you're trying, which is always something! It will work in the long run! But yeah I can’t imagine having to be in a ‘helping’ mode 24/7 because although you may enjoy it and are nice/helpful at heart there are sadly some people who will always take advantage of that. But I'm glad you are trying though! Hopefully the week doesn’t end up being way too much for you <3

I don’t have anything planned for the summer lol Maybe a few concerts that I'm still debating on going but nothing truly exciting lol But the drag show last night was so fun! The queens were amazing and they are just so talented! It was for sure a break I needed lol And you’re so real about the sad songs not hitting. My current ones are mainly from The Marias new album Submarine. But for me that make me a bit sad are Sienna, Echo,Paranoia, If Only, No One Noticed,Blur and probably others but those are the main ones lol Oh and this isn't a new one but Liability by Lorde has reentered into my brain which is wild considering I was fixating on this song the summer before my first year of college soooo idk what that means lol

No bestie you are SO right about leather jackets 😭 The things i would do if given a chance is absolutely horrendous lol

Are you a gel polish girl or an acrylic girl? But at least that’s something even though that lady was kinda wild for sighing lol I desperately need my eyebrows done too! I simply have just not made the effort to do them lately and they are so gross lol YAY TO ALMOST BEING FINISHED!!! I'm very excited for you! Also the way you triggered my own traumatizing math class that was also a 3rd period HAHA I don’t blame you for needing a break because teens are such menaces, you're so strong for having to deal with them!!

ALMOST THE END OF MY TRADITIONAL BABIES?!?! This is so tragic but I know they are obvs not going away forever lol But yeah I love reading through his POV and I think that you do it so well!

Don’t be embarrassed!l, I'm sure anyone given the chance to go down on Harry like THAT would! I know I would 😭All I kept think while reading it was WHEN WILL IT BE ME!😭It was so hot and I love that for them lol

I will probably be a bit MIA during finals week :( I'M already dreading missing our little chats! You are so kind! I love you so much and I wish you the best!! I hope you have the loveliest start to your break!!-💜

Unfortunately I think I'm taken advantage of all the time. It's pretty much my own fault and it's just gotten worse over the years. I saw a post on here not too long ago that was something like "If I can't be wanted, I'll be needed. If I'm not needed then let me be used until there's nothing left." ☠ Oops. I'm working on the boundaries thing. But I think I'm truly just a victim to weaponized incompetence. I feel like the people in my life are getting stupider, and I know that's mean but I really don't know what else to chalk it up to.

ANYWAY I was way less stressed than I thought I was going to be. Monday was the busiest/most stressful so it was really smooth sailing after that. I also have nothing planned for the summer! Just Niall, visiting family, and more work. I like doing nothing though lol.

Gel polish all the way. I write and type too much for acrylics and I know you CAN do those things with acrylic but I'm like very rough and tumble if you will. All my t-shirts have holes in them. My shoes are always scuffed. My books are so well loved when I read them because I'm just like "whatever" I am gentler on electronics fortunately but nonetheless.

I yelled at one of my 14-year-old students to keep his hands to himself and he was like "what did I even do?" and I was like "Bro? You put your friend in a headlock?????" Teen boys are so stupid. I saw this thing that Montessori (like of the school) said something along the lines of preteens and teens should be in the field/farm because their brains are so wild at that time and then they can come back to the classroom once they've calmed down. Normally, I would disagree but like idk how to reprimand "why can't I put my friend in a headlock?" So ridiculous. They didn't teach me that in college at all.

I know! Maybe something else will come to me about them but planned, I only have a few things left. (I suppose I could just write a whole bunch of extras about going down on Harry if I run out of ideas🤭)

I know you're going to do well on your finals, but good luck anyway! You're almost there! Glad the drag show was fun and I hope you have more fun things planned to break up your studying! 💕

xoxo

To him, who will never read this...

45 days since you left...

I'm holding up, in case you want to know. Some days are good, while others come like a wave, drowning me in tears, sadness, and loneliness. But as long as there are 50-50, or even more good days than the bad ones, I'm holding up. Since that coffee meeting and the awkward 'handshake' (whatever that was), I haven't heard from you. It's okay. I miss you, and I love you, but I'm getting better. I'm learning to love myself too.

I'm just sad for you. Sad because now I see a lot of things clearly. I know why you left. Yes, we had our crises, and I struggled with my exams, my depression, and yes, we argued. But that's not the real reason. That's not the main reason. We argued before. I was in a bad place, depressed before. You were too depressed, in a bad place before, and we went through all that together. And after every rough patch, we came out stronger. We were planning our future, our kids, our family, our home. We planned us.

Then she came into the picture. No, she's not your mistress or another girlfriend or anything like that. I know you loved me (maybe you still do ?) and that you wouldn't do something like that to me, you respected me and our relationship. So who is she ? She's your closest relative. She's the one who tore us apart. She manipulated situations, and her selfishness tore us apart. I'm hurt, not just by her actions but also by the fact that you allowed her to have such an impact on us.

I know we had problems, but we could work on them; we could have worked it out like we did for the past 7 years. We could have; if it wasn't for her. You know who she is. You know what she's like. You've told me a million times that you don't like when she does this/that. When she devalues you in front of her friends or other relatives just so she can be the center of the universe. You remember when we went to her place, and she ignored us, claiming 'I have to work, I have so much work,' and yet she's the one who invited us over. You said she's rude and disrespectful to you, to us. How many times was she disrespectful to you ? Did you forget that ? Did you forget when you called her and asked, 'Hey, where are you,' and she angrily yelled that she didn't have to justify herself to anyone, not even you ! And you asked that just out of curiosity.. Did you forget that she wasn't there when you were depressed ? Did you forget that she left you alone when you first came to the big city to go to take an exam on university ? She was not there for you. You asked her where the university was, and she said, 'You have a taxi, call them to drive you.' Did you forget that ? Did you forget that she didn't want to ask her friends to help you find a job ? Did you forget that she hated it when you spoke with her friend but not her ? And xy situations like those... Did you forget ?

But it seems like you've forgotten all that... it's okay. She's 'still your aunt,' as you said when I asked you what she said about what happened to us.. it's okay. I thought she was our friend, our aunt. That she was on our side. But she wasn't. She's on HER side, and the only thing that matters is herself.

Her selfishness tore us apart. And that's not what hurts me the most. It's the fact that YOU LET HER TEAR US APART. Yes, she's 'your aunt,' but I thought I was yours too. Like you were mine. Instead of everything, instead of everyone. And in front of everyone. "Alone together" you remember ? Your nick on tumblr ? But nevermind..

She's unhappy with herself, her life, her emotional life, and now she chose to put an end to our life story. And you let her. You let her brainwash you.

I've never felt so betrayed. By you, for letting her have an impact on our relationship and our problems. And by her, because I thought she was our friend. That she loved us, the idea of us as a family. But, she loves herself more. And she needs you for herself. For her selfish reasons, to go out, to party, to come to your apartment whenever she wants, to eat at your apartment, to use you to live a life she never had, and she could not have if you were with me, if you were dedicated to me, to our little family, the two of us, the 'us.'

I just cannot believe you fell for that. And that you are under her impact, that you, the guy that I knew, strong, confident, independent, no one could tell him what to do, fell under her impact and let her brainwash you... Her, who is less inteligent than you... I'm sad for you, and I pray for you. I pray every night that you will see what a snake she is, and what a devil hides in her, even though she's your family. She doesn't care for you; she cares for herself only. I pray that you see that. See that before it's too late. I pray for you, even though we are not together, because i care for you, and i love you. Still.

I don't know if we will be together again... I always say, time will show... if our destiny is to be together, we will find each other... But even if we don't ever find our ways back to each other, I pray that you will come to your senses, to your mind, to yourself, and that you will see clearly who wants the best for you. And that's not her..

I love you, and i will love you no matter what...

Your Ba..

How to write a satisfying ending

By Writerthreads on Instagram

I found that writing endings is one of the hardest parts of writing. There has to be some emotion behind it, but how much? And do you make it happy, or sad? Satisfying, or suspenseful? All of these are hard questions that you have to ask yourself even before you start. Here are some tips to help you with your story's ending.

Know what you want

When you're planning your story, have a rough idea of how the book or series will end, or at the very least, what will happen to your main character(s). This way, you can revolve your plot around the character and move things around while the final few scenes remain unchanged.

Try different endings

Experiment with different endings for your story. Will there be a final battle or a grand event? Or is there a surprise ending? You could build the story towards an ending that the readers can predict then change course last minute to spice things up.

Mimic the beginning

Does your story start with a phrase or at a special location? Use it again in the grand finale. If the story starts at a New York City penthouse, you could end it there again in a full circle. If it starts with a sentence that a character says, let them, or someone else of significance, say it again. (This works especially well if the original character says it dies.)

Invoke emotions

In my opinion, the best endings are bittersweet and satisfying. Make sure that the readers feel something, so they will continue to think about the book long after they're finished with it. Some of these books include The Fault in our Stars, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Midnight Library, and The Song of Achilles, to name a few.

Allow room for expansion

If you don't feel quite satisfied by the ending and think that you can go further with another undeveloped storyline in your book, or you want to expand the world you've built, you can always write a spinoff series! This was done beautifully in Chloe Gong's Foul Lady Fortune, that continues a few years after Our Violent Ends.

Make it satisfying

Whatever you write, make sure the story feels concluded. Every major plot point should be purposeful, and they should all lead to the ending that feels closed. Make sure that all plot holes are fixed, and anything left ambiguous can be inferred to be left like that on purpose.

This is a bit hard to explain, so it's better to ask beta readers this question when you send the final draft off to them. We have a post called "Questions for beta readers" for more information!

Whatever you decide to do with your story's ending, treat it well and write lots of versions of it until you get the perfect one! Good luck and happy writing!

[quacka-quacka]

Hi i want to ask you about Paul jealousy towards John. Do u think his jealousy are same as John? Thats what i see from Get Back, Paul always get away from this. People always focus on John jealousy and mental psychology while Paul often being ignored or under explore. I just want hear something from you because your blog quite fascinating about Paul, makes him more human i think.

Yes, Paul is also a jealous guy, especially towards John. The legendary partnership of Lennon-McCartney is not only created by cooperation, but the mutual competitiveness that neither of them wanted to be behind each other in any way. It's just that Paul is the only one alive who can always say his songwriting partner was jealous of him whereas John, unfortunately, was busy being dead.

The rivalry is always there, I think, it didn't explode until the final time of the Beatles- when John brought Yoko into the studio. That's really pushed Paul's jealousy to a new level, he actually spends rest of his life competing with JohnandYoko, either about itself or its enormous impact.

The intimacy between John and Yoko bothered Paul most at the beginning when he just got dumped by his fiancee not long ago. It can be seen that he is jealous of John for diving into a romantic relationship so much as well as Yoko taking his creative partner away. He always considers himself as the only one who was desperate to keep the band together but he actually made the situation worse by bring several girlfriends into the studio to get his own back. He couldn't help doing it even if he knew how absurd this competition was. As George said, "That really helped put the nail in the coffin."

We all know what happened next: The Beatles was disintegrating while John and Yoko was at the height of their popularity as the high-profile anti-war couple who acted like messengers of peace with the famous slogan "Make love, no war." A succession of eye-catching peace activities during the Vietnam War made JohnandYoko a cultural iron and made John well known as an intellectual, a political figure, a true artist. After his death he was put on a pedestal not even his Beatles colleagues could reach. Till today, even the wife beater image can not weaken his influence, actually, it's part of it for being so famous that even the bad things are so widely known.

I don't like any of their peace events and works (including the song Imagine), nor the saint John people worship who has been reduced to a couple of labels. It's kind of sad to see such a funny man with extraordinary charm be remembered as a hyper serious person talking about world peace. But it can't change the fact that they are the main reasons that made John much more famous than other Beatles. Paul isn't content with it, he has always been trying hard to prove that he deserves the same praise. Those main public images of John are the ones Paul highlights in his interviews and books:

Intellectual

It's an old chestnut that Paul has always been arguing he isn't viewed as an intellectual like John. Obviously it's another competition with John as well his resentment towards stereotype he thinks caused it all. The lad who said "we ain't written no poetry" with his innocent huge eyes widely opened eventually become a bitter gammer babbling "John never had anything like my interest in literature." What a sad thing to see.

Artist

The one Paul seems to care about most - as a rough estimate, praising how artistic Paul is takes up half the length of Many Years From Now. Whether it's avant-garde loops, film, orchestra or painting, he's good at it.

PAUL: We used to have drawing competitions in the group where we'd sit down and say, 'Let's draw Mal,' and mine was often the likeness. I used to catch it. John's were often like crazy, because he couldn't actually draw like that. He did character drawing, he drew his little men, people with bulbous noses with hair coming out of them, bizarre character stuff, but he wasn't actually that good at representing something figuratively.

— Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now

(If I never saw his drawings I may buy that Paul is a realist painter more distinguished than John.)

In fact, it connects with the intellectual one, only in a more specific aspect. When it came to making loops, he didn't forget to say he and John was "wildly in reverse" on intellectual level:

PAUL: I was into a lot of those things, which was very strange because I was at the same time known as the cute Beatle, the ballad Beatle or whatever. I hate to think what I was known as. John was the cynical one, the wise Beatle, the intellectual. In fact at that time it was wildly in reverse.

— Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now

Political Figure

I don't like this one but it's crucial to John's public image. As he thought John would become "Martin Luther Lennon", Paul must be aware of that too.

He could be a manoeuvring swine, which no one ever realized. Now, since his death, he's become Martin Luther Lennon. But that really wasn't him either. He wasn't some sort of holy saint. He was still really a debunker.

— Paul McCartney, off the record conversation with Hunter Davies, 1981

Paul's rude remarks can be understandable consider what mental state he was in just five months after John been shot dead. But he doesn't seem to mind calling John "a manoeuvring swine", which can be found quoted in Many Years From Now - his official biography written in the 90s.

The others, much as they also loved him, regarded him as a 'manoeuvring swine', as Paul once put it.

— Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now

(George and Ringo: How did we get dragged into this?)

He already had a problem with Bagism back in Get Back session. And 30 years later, after praising his leadership in marijuana legalization protest for a whole section in Many Years From Now, the long journey of "Expanding the Field of Consciousness" end up with a comparison with Bagism and Imagine:

This was the first example of Paul's involvement in political lobbying, a skill which he would later apply with great success to saving his local hospital in Rye, Sussex, and in starting and funding the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. The Beatles signed and paid for the advertisement at his instigation. There was no high-profile posturing. He did not sit in a black bag or sing a song about it, just supported a traditional method of lobbying. In this instance quiet and effective work led to a change in the law - from which he himself benefited when police found pot plants growing on his Scottish farm in 1972.

— Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now

In a certain way it is really an intense relationship that both of them can make the other one extremely jealous if any inequality exists. In Paul's case, as a person so insecure and so afraid of losing face, his jealousy also fueled by the public. The competition continues after John's death because he isn't on Lennon's bandwagon of being one of the greatest men in the world. It sounds snobbish but it's hard not to believe this is true.

OBSESSIVE STOLAS x Male Imp pt.4

(This is a long fanfic and will consist of multiple parts.)

Stolas sat in the family limo, enjoying the smooth rumble of limos engine as he travelled home. Along the way, he felt... at peace.

As though, all the problems that plagued his mind before, had... evaporated.

Stolas ran a hand down his chest, his thighs grinding together as he thought about his time with you.

You were so gentle. So tender and elegant with him. As though he were some delicate piece of art.

But he knew the truth...

You handled him so delicately, because you wanted him to feel loved.

...Because you loved him.

The thought sending a whole new wave of warmth threw him.

So focused on the events that just transpired was he, he didn't even notice his arrival home.

He walked through the building blissfully unawares of all around him, almost in a drunken state.

Entering his chambers he found the bed made and empty.

Of course it was, Stella hadn't shared there bed since Blitzø fell into Stella's brunch.

He'd once found it all so charming. Blitzø's brash, rough and tumble attitude had once made him swoon.

But now when he thought about being with Blitzø, he just felt like an idiot for having thought there relationship was anything beyond a business transaction.

But now he had you. And you were all he needed now.

He fell onto his bed, not bothering with the covers. Content to just lay there and bask in the light you brought to his life.

But those tears he shed had took a toll on him, and as much as he wished to bask in this warmth he could feel sleep taking him and with one more happy thought of you, he allowed sleep take him.

He awoke early the morning, and despite being bathed in the light of Hell's crimson sun.

He felt cold.

As though all the warmth youd given him yesterday had simply vanished.

He sat up, sluggishily removing the covers went about preparing for his day of... nothing.

Stella hadn't allowed him anywhere near his usual meeting or appointments, not since- well you know what happened.

Perhaps he'd try and talk to his beloved Octavia. If she was feeling hospitable.

Hmmm. Perhaps not. He should probably just give her some space.

Besides he realised an even more important thing he could do with his morning.

Learning everything he could about You.

Turning over, he found his phone. Looking through his contacts.

He found your name, going into your contact he considered messaging you, but decided against it. He didn't want to bother you so early in the morning.

Instead he pulled up Voxtigram, his main form of communication, before typing in your name.

But he couldn't find you.

So he checked Blitzø's friend list, he eventually found you, it turns out you just had your name backwards, something that made him chuckle.

Seeing pictures of Blitzø sent pangs of sadness through his chest, but he soldiered on.

Scrolling through your pictures, he didn't find much.

Alot of them were just pictures of the places you'd been, or one of the weapons you used on the job.

He eventually did find some of you.

The first he found was you and the two other Imps that worked there, Millie and Moxxie he was pretty sure were there names.

The next was you on your first day at work.

It was a selfie of you in a group hug with Blitzø and the others.

You were all clearly being forced by Blitzø.

The awkward little smile you wore sent a wave of warmth through him.

Scrolling further down, he found more pictures of you. Most of them were just you relaxing at a variety of places, or after after getting a new outfit. Just general stuff about your life in hell.

Then he found one that made his heart skip a beat.

It was a picture of you. Wearing just a pair of shorts at the gym.

You were pulling a little pose, flexing your muscles in front of a mirror, a shy little blush across your cheeks.

Stolas' swallowed, his throat suddenly very dry.

He rubbed his thighs together as he fantasised about licking the sweat off your abs.

With a shake to his head, he decided now was a good time to get out of bed.

Leaving his phone as he went and took a nice long shower.

A nice long, cold shower.

Getting out, he chose a more casual outfit.

An old T-shirt and some jeans he reserved for comfy home clothes. He didn't have anywhere to be.

He made his way to the kitchen, where he found Octavia sitting at the table.

The more calculating part of his brain told him to just leave her alone, but he decided against it. He shouldn't hide from his daughter, she needed to know he was still there for her 'Hello darling, how did you sleep.' He asked pleasantly.

Octavia looked up at him, her eyes looking cold and annoyed. So, not all to different from her usual teenage gaze.

'I slept fine dad.' She sai, her voice dull and lifless, before looking back down at her phone.

Stolas swelled with joy.

His daughter was speaking to him again. Everything seemed seemed to be getting better for him.

Pouring himself a bowl of serial, he took a rather lecherous lstroll down memory lane, Thinking about his time with you.

He didn't know how long he'd been thinking about you, but he was quickly pulled out of it when he felt something hit him on the back.

The clanging of cutlery that followed soon after gave him a good idea of what it was.

Turning around he found a rather angry teenage owl glaring at him.

Before he could ask what was wrong. The owlet released a frustrated growl. 'Can you just not?' She asked rhetorically.

Running down her face she told him 'I have do deal with you and Mums B.S. all the time, can you just not fantasise about your fuckin Blitzy~ in front of me.'

She fell back into her seat with a huff.

Stolas was a little shocked. He hadn't thought his beloved daughter could be so course.

'I-I... I didn't realise I was being so bothersome.' He said, sounding perhaps a bit to wounded.

Octavia sighed, 'Can you just not in the kitchen. Where we eat, please?' She asked, going back to her breakfast.

Stolas sighed, picking up his now soggy bowl of serial. 'How long had I been in that state?' He asked himself.

'Five minutes' answered Octavia not looking up from her phone.

'Oh' he said to himself, taking the bowl he poured it into the trash. 'Well that's disgusting.'

He chuckled to himself. Looking over his shoulder he said 'Well, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear you won't be hearing much about Blitzø... ever again.' He told her being perhaps a little vitriolic.

Getting a cup from the cupboard, he poured himself a cup of coffee.

Walking over to Octavia he went to take a seat, but stopped upon seeing her distrustful gaze.

Taking a seat he sighed. 'Octavia, darling... I know these past few weeks haven't been easy on you. And I know much of that-" He had to stop as Octavia glared daggers at him. "...All of it, was my fault. But I promise, things will get better... for both of us.' He took her hand into his own. 'I promise.'

Octavia looked up at him, she looked so startled by his words.

It seemed like she was gonna say something, dew drops forming in the corners of her eyes.

He was about to say something when Octavia shot up and ran away.

Stolas sat there. For a long while. His conversation running over in his mind.

Taking a drink from his coffee he stood up, put his cup in the sink and left.

He found himself in his garden, perhaps the last place he still felt at home on the palace grounds.

Trying to calm himself down went about his usual grooming routine.

Trimming bushes, feeding his plants, pulling weeds and just general plant care.

And as much as his plants soothed his nerves,, he could feel his mood shifting.

The depression beganing to invade his thoughts.

He felt himself become that miserable husk that got shoved out of Blitzøs office.

He clutched his head, hunching over on the brink of tears. His thoughts became like daggers, stabbing into his thoughts.

But before he could shed a tear, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.

Pulling it out, he found it was a call from you.

In something of a surprised stupor, he answered the call. He tried to clear the emotion from his voice before saying 'Hello?'

'Stolas? Are you okay? You sound upset.' You asked him, concern in your voice.

'(Y/N)?! I... I'm...' he was going to tell you some fluff story, pretending he was fine and probably throwing a few lewd innuendos I'm there.

But, he choked... He just couldn't.

'No... No I'm not okay.' He told you, on the brink of tears. 'I feel like everything is broken and it's all my fault.'

You took a moment to respond, clearing your throat you said. 'Stolas... why did you sleep with Blitzø?'

Stolas was taken aback, 'P-Pardon?'

You sighed, 'Did you want to hurt your family when you chose to sleep with Blitzø?'

Bringing up it was he who made of decision to sleep with Blitzø, made his self loathing grow like a fire.

'N-No!' He told you 'I would never want to hurt my family...'

'Its alright Stolas, I know you wouldn't want to hurt them... But you slept with him for a reason Stolas, you need to know what it is.'

Stolas wasn't sure how to answer, he didn't really know the answer. He could lie, tell you it was just a spur of the moment decision, but that just wasn't true.

'I-I don't know.' He stated, more then said. 'I don't know why I did it... I just... don't know.'

He sat there for several moments, his mind going into overdrive as he thought over the question.

'Its alright Stolas, I believe you. But you need to figure it out, this is something that will haunt you until you figure it out." You told him, trying your best to be serious.

Stolas wiped his eyes, before asking you, 'why did you call (Y/n)? I... don't remember giving you my number!' He mumbled out, rubbing his eye.

You coughed, clearing your throat, 'Don't worry about that. I actually called you because, well I mean, I was wondering, if maybe you wanted to do something tomorrow?' You asked him, voice thick with bashfulness.

Stolas was really taken aback, 'You... You want to do something... With me?' He asked incredulously.

You chuckled on the other end of the phone. 'If I were there right now, Stolas, I'd probably boop you right on a nose.' You tell him through a smile.

'I'd love to do something!' Stolas practically cheered. You chuckled, before telling him 'Great, Ive already got an idea, but if youd like to do-'

Before you could finish your note, Stolas shouted, 'I'd love Too!'

Stolas quickly calmed down, before clearing his throat, 'Sorry... I mean, I'd love to do whatever you had in mind.' He said, cringing at how desperate he'd sounded.

'Good to hear' You chuckled, 'Well, there's this great wine place I know that makes the best little pizzas, and I, uh, wanted to share it with you.'

Your words sent a wave of ecstasy through his body. You not only wanted to spend time with him but actively sought him out to spend time with him.

You were everything he wished Blitzø was.

And he loved it.

He didn't need Blitzø.

He had you now.

'Of course (Y/N), It would be my pleasure to spend some time with you.' He told you, biting his lip.

He felt like a school girl with her first crush, a youthful giddiness clouded his mind.

'Oh? Well I've got tomorrow off, does that work for you? We can do it another day if your busy.' You told him, concern clear in your voice.

It was Stolas' turn to laugh at the tone in your voice.

'I don't have anything on tomorrow, so I'd love to accompany you to yor wine and pizza place. Nothing would make me happier.' He told you earnestly.

He could hear the smile in your voice, as you told him. 'Well, I'm happy to hear that. I'll send you the address later today, call me if you need any directions... I'll see you then, Stolas.'

'I...' Stolas wanted to tell you how much he loved you, just how much joy you brought him with one simple phone call.

He wanted to tell you, but didn't have the words.

As he tried to manifest the words he needed, he heard say through the phone.

'Its alright Stolas. I look forward to seeing you too.'

You told him simply, Stolas just sighed. How you always knew what he was trying to say.

'I'll see you tomorrow, My Beloved.' he told you before you hung up.

Hearing the tell tale dial tone, looking down at the phone, your image in the caller I.D. bringing a smile to his face.
