#i have no idea what my other favs would think of me but i'm confident i could bag chrollo. my criminal bf now

[ddarker-dreams]

id love to know ur thoughts on non yandere chrollo. i have a presumption that this man is physically incapable of a normal relationship whether that be due to his childhood trauma or overall cringey and erratic behaviors… but id really like to know what u think hed be like besides forcing thigh highs into ur closet and not-so-secretly secretly watching u in ur sleep

i've thought about it a Lot because it does feel so funny to me. what is he doing. he'll be committing an international heist that makes worldwide news then carry your bags at the mall the next day. it feels like one of those things that'd start as a way to burn time, but when his thoughts turn to you when he's away for just a few hours, he's like. uh ohhh.

he's definitely weird but he hides it so well. he'll talk to pakunoda about this development over drinks, psychoanalyzing himself and what this could possibly mean... only for paku to look him in the eyes and say something among the lines of,

"boss... is it possible you just like them?"

and it's a genuine epiphany for chrollo. a no strings attached arrangement where you can't supply him with a nen ability to steal or be used to aid phantom troupe activities. you're just you, texting him silly pictures throughout the day and reminding him to eat well or you'll throw his car keys into a river. you got him. hook, line and sinker. he's charmed, starting wistfully over the horizon like a maiden awaiting her lover to return from the war. there's this lightness in his chest that he hasn't experienced since his childhood.

chrollo in a normal relationship is still rather possessive, he is a thief, after all. but he would rather not risk the dynamic of your relationship by scaring you away. so the homicidal urges get turned down a notch.

he's a bit cheesy but he relishes in it. his first love... why should he care if others think it corny to send you bouquets of flowers, chocolates, poetry quotes, and stuff to that effect? he was robbed of innocence in his youth — you're giving him the chance to live a life he never know he needed.

Just had a fun idea but like, what about hcs on how the others would react upon realizing s/o has feelings for Alastor? Like out of everyone they could've fallen for of it HAD to be him kjbgbkjs

Thanks for the consideration and take care of yourself op! Drink water, eat food, and know ur favs adore you!

Everyone finding out that wifey is married to Alastor??? 👀 That's what I heard-

Alastor X Reader Headcanons

✅️Romantic

❌️Platonic

TW: A little suggestive in the middle bit? Angel helps wifey buy lingerie

Description: ☝️⬆️

You meet everyone at the hotel separately from your husband, so they never make the connection until they actually see you two together

Except Niffty, Alastor just had her trailing behind him one day

"Niffty! This is my darling wife! She is the lady of the house!"

"Neat! I'm gonna go find some bugs!"

"...she's cute, Alastor."

"She's a menace in disguise, my dear~"

When you first met Husker, you were playing cards when he suddenly saddled himself next to you with the kind of confidence that only an overlord has

Luckily, the game was only for fun, the two of you competing against each other in friendly competition

It's a good time between the two of you, you're charming and witty, Husk just eats it up and keeps asking you to play another game

"You're pretty good at this aren't you, beautiful? Do you gamble often?"

You simply hum and politely sip your drink, carefully thinking about how you're going to turn down the overlord

"I don't tend to frequent these sorts of places but my darling husband and I are celebrating so it's a special occasion~"

"Husband?"

"Oh, he's harmless! A real romantic...~"

He deflates a little at the mention of your husband but moves on like nothing happened and that's the last you see of him for a couple of months

That is until Alastor comes home one day looking exceptionally pleased with himself as he sweeps you up into an impromptu dance

"Alastor~! What's gotten into you~?"

"Another victory under my belt, my dear~! You know how you've been saying you always wanted a cat?"

"No?"

"Well, I went out and got you one!"

You barely have time to ask him what he means when suddenly Husk is standing in front of you, looking shocked

"Oh Alastor...tell me you didn't go after him just because he flirted with me a little.."

"Of course not, darling~! I did it beca-he did what now?"

Husk looks around in bewilderment before his eyes land on you wrapped in your husband's arms, pointing at you accusingly

"HE'S YOUR HUSBAND!? You need to look up the definition of HARMLESS cause he ain't harmless!"

You meet Charlie because she quite literally runs into you, tears in her eyes and obviously upset

"I'm so so SO sorry! I-"

"Hey hey...what are you sorry for? Are you okay, my dear?"

You can't help but mother her, wiping away her tears as she tries to excuse her tears as nothing serious

"Would you like to talk about it? I can't just leave you crying out in the street like a lost baby, now can I?"

She sniffles pathetically and nods, letting you guide her somewhere more private

"Y-yes please..."

"Come now, we'll make some hot tea and you can tell me what's got you so worked up..."

You two grow attached to each other after that and make time to meet with each other at least a few times a month

She gets anxious when she hasn't heard from you in a while and calls you whenever she's upset about something, seeking your opinion

You listen to Charlie's problems and try to offer her advice or do what you can to help her feel better, sometimes she just needs a motherly hug

She tells you about her hotel and whether you believe in her dream or not, you support her because she obviously needs it

Other times, you two talk about your respective partners and gossip

"Your husband sounds so sweet! I've got to meet him one day! When he comes back, of course..."

You laugh at her enthusiasm, gently patting her hand to calm the excitable young woman down a little and trying to quell the sadness of his absence

"And this girlfriend of yours sounds like she really cares about you, I'd love to meet her."

You feel compelled to look after her, and Charlie sees you as a source of comfort if not a mother figure to her

So she eventually introduces Vaggie to you because you've been asking to meet her, Vaggie is just excited to meet the famous Y/N

She's heard so much about you from Charlie that she had to see if you were genuine, she had to make sure you weren't using her girlfriend

Only to be taken aback by just how much she ends up liking you, looking to you for advice just as Charlie does

She's geared up, ready to fight, when one day you two are suddenly cornered by thugs out on the street, only to be baffled when you take them out with ease

Just how powerful are you?

"Wait wait wait-how did you pull off that move? I've been trying to learn how to do that for months!"

You're casually fixing your clothes and rubbing your wrist, completely unfazed by the ambush

"It's just a little something I learned from my husband~ Would you like me to teach you?"

"Y-yes! Please!"

She readily accepts, and soon she's just as attached to you as Charlie is, looking forward to the times you agree to spar with her

Her and Charlie talk about how much they love you one night before they go to bed

"So....she's great right?"

"Charlie, I fucking love her."

"Right!?"

You meet Angel at a clothing store, the two of you shopping in the same section when you catch him staring hard at the gloves

"You should try this one, the color compliments you really well, and they're made from a good material."

He jumps in surprise, obviously startled by your sudden arrival, but does genuinely seem to look at the pair of gloves you're pointing out

Angel picks them up and tries them on, seemingly more than pleased with your picks, whatever thoughts that were weighing on his mind momentarily forgotten

"Thanks..! Uh, maybe I can help you pick something out?"

He gestures to the many different lingerie in your basket, you're obviously having a hard time deciding which one to get

You have the decency to at least look a little embarrassed, a soft blush taking over your features and making you look innocent

"Would you? My husband is back, and I just want to show him how much I've missed him..."

Angel guides you to the fitting rooms, obviously excited to be of help, he could be saving a marriage for all he knows!

"Sure thing, doll! You put on each one, and Angel Dust here will tell you which one will knock your man off his feet! If I know anything! It's how to turn a man on!"

Normally, you wouldn't even THINK about showing another man your body in lingerie, but hearing that and having an inkling of who Angel is, you trust him

And it's surprisingly fun! Angel helps you narrow it down to three favorites that are sexy and comfortable, it never once feels creepy or uncomfortable

"Now pose like this when he comes in! Yes! Just like that! Your hubby is gonna lose his mind when he sees you!"

You can't help but laugh, not at all feeling ridiculous but enjoying Angel's antics and enthusiasm

"Thank you, Angel. We should go clothes shopping together again sometime, I had a good time today."

He winks and holds out his phone to get your number before walking away, no longer seeming so...depressed

"And you'll have an even better time tonight! See you later, doll~!"

You two shop together on the regular after that, greeting each other with air kisses and judging people together

"Ugh, do you see the hair on that gal? What an absolute wreck!"

"That hairstyle wasn't even popular when my husband and I were alive...ugh..."

"When am I gonna meet this man of yours anyways?"

"When he stops going to a tailor and agrees to come shopping with me~"

You're laying in bed with Alastor one night, nuzzled under his chin and cuddling in his arms when he suddenly speaks

"You know that little...project I've been working on?"

You're nearly asleep, the feeling of his thumb rubbing your arm soothing you more than he realizes

"Mhm..."

"Well, I was thinking maybe I could take you with me tomorrow...everyone there has been dying to meet you."

You open your eyes to look at your husband, smiling at him as you lean up to kiss him softly

"More people who don't believe that you have a wife? I'll be happy to set the record straight~"

He chuckles and rolls you two over so that he's on top of you, kissing down your neck as his hands push up your nightgown

"I can't wait to show you off to everyone~"

The next day, Alastor takes your arm in his and leads you inside, you're more than a little surprised to see that his project is a hotel

You're a bit shocked to see so many familiar faces in front of you, Niffty running up to hug your leg and Husk giving you a lazy wave

Charlie, Vaggie and Angel are all staring you like you're a ghost, eyes slowly moving from Alastor to you over and over again

Charlie drops her tray of snacks in surprise, rushing up to give you a bone crushing hug while Vaggie stands in front of Alastor as if to protect you

"Y/N! What are you doing here!? Are you here to give redemption a try? Oh, I knew you would come around!!"

You laugh and hug her back while patting her head, gently prying her arms off of you so you can pet Niffty

"It's good to see you too, my dear princess, though I'm here with my husband."

Vaggie's jaw drops, and she whips around to look at you, jabbing a finger at Alastor as you see her trying to digest the truth in front of her

"You! A-and him!? The Radio Demon?!"

Alastor takes the opportunity to pull you back to his side, a loving arm around your waist as you happily lean on him, hand on his chest

"Everyone! This is Y/N, my lovely wife~! Y/N, please tell them all that you're here of your own volition and that you are happily married to the most wonderful demon in all of hell!"

You hear Angel trying to hold in his laughter, obviously flashing back to the many conversations he's had with you about your mysterious husband

"Yes yes, I'm happily married to him and I'm not under any mind control or deal or anything else like that~"

You can hear Vaggie's soul leave her body, Charlie's delighted squeal and Angel's uncontrollable laughter at the sight of you and Alastor rubbing noses in an obnoxiously cute manner

"This is the guy you've been buyin' all those sexy clothes for!? Oh my fuck!! This is too good!"

"I can't believe Alastor was your husband this whole time!! I knew he was secretly a big softie! Oh my gosh! You should hear how he talks about you it's so cute!!"

"...I don't get what you see in him..."

"I don't either, you know that when I first met her, she called him HARMLESS? She's delusional."

"He's a bad boy and she LIKES IT~!"

Your husband looks at you in confusion, gently stroking your cheek

"All this time I spent singing your praises to earn you a decent reputation around here was for nothing? I should've known you'd have stolen their hearts already~"

You smile and kiss Alastor's palm sweetly, earning a chorus of cooing and disgusted noises from your audience

"Actually, I've met everyone here before, darling... it seems we've been unintentionally been keeping our a marriage a secret from everyone!"

Charlie is just so enamored with the way you two interact as a couple, her eyes sparkling whenever she watches you two together

Vaggie is just disappointed in your taste in men and shakes her head whenever you two are affectionate, secretly she thinks it's cute

Angel gets a kick out bugging Alastor about the clothes he helped you pick out, always asking him if he liked the lingerie

Husk is just thankful for the distraction you prove to be for Alastor because then he has more time to himself, encourages you two to go on a lot of dates

Niffty is just crazy as always 😜 She likes you two together though and will stab anyone who tries to separate you two

This one took so long!! I hope you like it!!

[cursedcatchild]

Ok, so I watched TOTTMNT and I am here to rant. Also, SPOILERS ahead!

So First of all, if I had to sum up my thoughts into a single sentence it would be: For the love of God, put those turtles back together, where they belong!!

I didn’t hate the show, but I didn’t come to like it either. And no, I did not have any prejudgment just because it was a new iteration. Honestly I was super hyped for this version, because the movie was a blast. Yea, I ended up being disappointed. But let me just elaborate on that:

First let’s take a look at our turtles from worst to best in my opinion.

Mikey:

Yepp, ladies and gentlemen so far I have never seen a single iteration where I didn’t come to like a Mikey. He’s always among my favs. But this version felt super shallow. He had just as much screen time in the series as his brothers and yet I still have no idea who this guy really is. His jokes were lame not really landing, I couldn’t really point out any particular goal or insecurity that anyone could relate to. Also, the guy is super oblivious. Like he took ten minutes to realize he walked into a robbery when he went for groceries. Heck he was having a casual conversation with the robbers. 

Leo: 

Another kinda shallow guy. Sure we seen a bit of insecurity, he literally quoted Rise Leo saying “ I’m nothing without them!” but it felt irreal. Because Rise Leo had a reason to think that, he wasn’t as much of a functional member of the team and he was always taken for jokes. But right from the beginning of TOTTMNT we see Tales Leo commanding his brothers, they listen to him  and even say it multiple times how planning is Leo’s thing. So at this point this Leo is just fucking blind. ( Also April slaps instant self confidence into the boy.) 

Raph:

Ok, this is also the first time, but I never really took a liking to a Raph before Tales Raph. Boy is filled with anger and sass, yet he’s not coming off as a total jerk like 2012 Raph. And of course he's not a super softie like Rise Raph ( I don’t hate Rise Raph for being a softie, he's my second favorite Raph) either. He had some fun pipe up and overall a personality I got. I think he’s the most perfect Raph I have ever seen. 

Donnie:

The best character of the iteration in my humble opinion. He was relatable, funny, honestly he was stealing Mikey’s job as the comic relief, but at the same time he’s the smart guy. The boy is ranting about not being the IT guy and then goes reprogramming an evil robot. Oh and he saved so many lifes, because he stopped a fucking train crash. He’s epic, I swear.

(My fave screenshot ever 🤣🤣)

Now story wise:

🔥What the fuck was this dumpster fire?! 🔥Who thought splitting up the turtles would be fine?! 😑Especially in a 12 episode season? Look, I don't mind solo or duo time. There were plenty of good ones, for example Rise. I adored the Mikey vs Leo cook off episode or the Gumbus one, but for the sake of my sanity Rise had twice as many episodes and the turtles were not split up for the majority of the story.

Like I'm not joking when I say they were together in 4 episodes intotal.😨😨

Now I heard rumors left and right that the fact that they need to make a show was thrown at the team at the last minute ( IDK how true is that) , but goodness gracious even if I was presented with the task with a “ Due tomorrow label” I could still write a better story. Especially with the goldmine what the writers decided to ignore.

Yes, something that would've made TOTTMNT be really unique….. School people! We were promised that we will explore the turtles from the teenage side. Ummm….Hate to break it to ya all but I think there is no better way to do that than putting them into school.

It would’ve been fire to see them trying to fit in, balancing all the cool hero stuff with school life, maybe wrecking the school, seeing how other teenangers adjust to the fact that now giant talking turtles are their classmates. It wouldn’t be some crazy mind blowing plot, but I swear it would've been amazing.

Now don’t misunderstand me. Despite the story feeling like being all over the place it wasn’t that super bad, but I’m pissed that it could've been better with ease.

Also another thing that bugged me, is the feeling of something missing. IDK if anyone else who watched it felt like this, but I legit felt like if we just grabbed the for example farm arc from 2012 TMNT and aired it as season 1. The fact that the turtles were split and they kept mentioning that they have always been fighting together made me feel like I should’ve seen them do that.

Anyways, If I did not take your will to watch it away, go and check it out. It's not horrible but not great either. I’m disappointed and I'm gonna need Rise back, thank you very much!

Episode Nagi 33

Lol this chapter has so much typical shonen rivalry composition like thank you knsr for the narusasu-reonagi?? 😭

I'll never stop finding it funny and ironic how reonagi makes a better “duo” when they’re separated, like they're literally more in sync and on the same page than when they’re together lol. Perhaps this is the true alone・together chapter (good ending ver) after all.

I'm like so hung up on how emotionless Nagi looks here, its borderline unnerving and scary (and kinda sad if you wanna dig deeper) BUT I LOVE IT. His mouth is so small its kinda cute? Scary, beautiful, cool and cute, that's my Nagi! We haven't seen him "scary" since first selection I kinda miss him. He's was such a menace and arguably the most hype and best written "final boss" to date.

And that's why he'll be back as one. Isagi's ultimate foil, let's go.

And I love that it’s nagi=sasuke and reo=naruto. I know reonagi and narusasu dynamics aren’t exactly similar, mostly because reonagi never really have that rivalry sun/moon yin/yang symbolism going on but when it comes to hot/cold, red/blue I guess they still fit? The second picture kinda have a yin-yang thing going on too. Nagi's aura is black but his heart and character is very pure, while Reo's aura is lighter but inside he has darker thoughts and feelings? That's just me trying to force a yin-yang parallel on them but I honestly don't think they fit that well, unless it’s foreshadowing for the future? 👀 I’ve seen people say it’s reflective of Nagi’s downfall etc but I would think it’s more like the cyclical nature of their progress lol. But I’m mostly of the stance it’s for hype visuals only, knsr seems to like doing that before shit hits the fan. Doesn’t really mean much.

I actually made a lot of mental comparisons between Sasuke and Nagi before, like to understand why are they my favs and why I see them the way I do in their shipping dynamics etc (I only ship them as bottoms) etc. And I’ve always thought reonagi’s kinda like a flipped shonen duo? Like usually Reo would be the typical shonen protag with his red hot fiery passion and energy while Nagi would play the cooler, calmer deuteragonist but for them, the calm one's the protag. It’s like if Sasuke's the protag instead of Naruto lol

I rmb knsr making another narusasu-reonagi comparison before with the kyuubi-susanoo fusion lookalike and I was so insulted then?? I don't even wanna include it here cause they were never narusasu??? Naruto and Sasuke were actually equal rivals but reonagi was toxic codependency with Reo giving up his ideal self (!!!) for Nagi's dream and becoming his passer?? That's the part I was most hung up on honestly (but some shippers like it for some reason, explains why they're also the ones who didn't expect Nagi's "death" even though its so obviously written in the text lmao).

Like you've no idea how glad I'm this current arc ended with Reo scoring and his ego awakening and lusting for goals again. I don't necessarily need him to be a full striker, I just need him to have that hunger for goals back again! And with the way its consistently brought up in both epinagi and bllk that his ideal self is to change in different ways to score goals, I'm confident that's the direction he's growing into. GOOD. I like Reo so much more when he has the “striker mentality”. It's nice to see his Chameleon developing too with him questioning "what is his colour".

Talented learner matches really are very different from Geniuses' ones lol. Ngl, personally I enjoy reading TL matches more. Seeing them actively thinking, predicting, observing and making plays, its more fun than hype moves to me (I'm so sorry this feels sinful to say as a Nagi fan 😭 I love you Nagi your hype moves are still the best and beat all other moments 😭)

-

My absolute favorite parts of this chapter though was all the nicknames Nagi's getting. Little baby? Silver fox-hair (ロマンスグレーボーイ)??? “Romance grey boy” is such a random nickname tho, I know it’s to call out his white hair but still 😭 Maybe Luna’s also half calling Nagi good looking???

And why does everyone Nagi meets keep treating him like a baby chick?? I mean it’s so accurate and I love it but I wanna know what exactly these people are seeing to call a 190cm boy a baby lol. He's even drawn exceptionally baby this chapter 😭

I love it though, keep hammering the Nagi is baby agenda please knsr, just like in bllk too. We know it won't last anyway so let us savor this please 😭 My greatest fear is Nagi changing super drastically during his development honestly. Like please, his personality is what endeared him to his fans, please write him well knsr I'm begging you 😭 You can make him badass and independent but still a cute babychick too right? 😭 I don't want some overly egoistical chad coming back 😭

Like even his speech is baby. Its not translated over when Nagi says "tell me before you leave" but in Japanese he says 「教えてよバイバイの前にさ」 ("tell me before you say bye bye") which is again... so cute. It's like when he said "let's live in a dream as we say bye bye" in a previous chapter. Why aren't they capturing the cute nuances of Nagi like before?? The translations are so trash these days!!

Anyway, can't wait for him to get wrecked by Loki next chapter lol considering how sus it is he barely appeared much. I need my ultimate genius-genius interaction!! Idky but Loki has always given me the creeps since his first appearance. He's always drawn so unnerving in a predator/hunter vibe and his background is always dark too... Curious.

I didn't expect Nagi to be interacting with Luna this much instead but I enjoyed it. Lunagi is my new ship :)

Also didn't expect a Rin/Barou kinda speech from Luna lol. Again, flight and bird symbolism. I'm still on the Nagi's gonna gain wings in his aura agenda (delusional). Like no way is this just a "he's currently a baby bird who needs to learn how to fly" reference. And my personal theory for his ego is still "being the one who shines the brightest/feels the most heated up on the field" which can motivate him to do hype moves only he can achieve. But we shall see. He's still being so vague with his ego which is expected since even at NEL he didn't figure it out...

Like Reo's is clearly articulated, his ego is "to shape my destiny with my goals" but for Nagi what he wanna trust in is "to face the world here and now and tear open a new path with this surging emotion"? It feels like he just wanna be immersed in the moment since he's usually so apathetic? I mean it makes sense, I've said this so many times everywhere but Isagi's journey is to learn techniques and logic that can bring out his innate fire to become the number 1 striker, but Nagi? He has all the innate techniques being a genius and all so his journey is to learn how to discover that fire to motivate his genius. So basically his end goal is to feel fired up! Going from death to feeling alive finally!

(Also thanks knsr for the chiginagi crumbs)

About the main manga, I wonder will 299-300 be two chapters of Nagi backstory before its break 🥺 Somehow I’ve doubts we’re getting his backstory here even if I really want it.

[yandere-wishes]

I'm considering the idea of a yandere cheater in spiderverse. All after reading your Miles G, I confess. Miguel was the first wave, but Hobie and Miles G, hit like a tsunami behind.

I don't ask you to write it. Just babbling about my favs... although there's also Aaron, Peter B, Noir,... I love everyone.

But, but in your yandere expert opinion, who would have the toughest nerve to become a cheater and on top of that, being a yandere about reader? From all the charas into and across the spiderverse.

ALSO, WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE, KINDA FUCK, MARRY, KILL???, Tell me, tell me *googly eyes*

In my "expert" Yandere knowledge (jk 🤣jk🤣) I'd say that 90% of the Spiderverse cast could be "cheater" if they couldn't physically be with the reader. Or if they thought that they don't deserve the reader.

1610-Miles: would never cheat, he'd just sit around mopping and dreaming about the reader. He'd also never really think about not "deserving" the reader. He's a really lonely boy and would latch onto his crush no matter what. He'd also fully believe that he was a better match for them than anyone else. He's also confident enough that he's sure he could protect them against anything.

Pavitr Prabhakar: Would also never cheat. When he's in love he becomes devoted to said person and would do anything for them. Cares for them too much to ever be with anyone else. Also if that person is in love with someone else then he would respect their choice and bottle up his emotions. Laching onto the hope that one day the reader would realize they love him more than their current partner. He's practically the walking embodiment of "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift.

Gwen Stacy: Gwen might cheat on the reader if she's trying to distance herself from them. Make them hate her so they leave. But really it's just to protect them, she's fully convinced that she's cursed. Anyone who get's too close to her ends up hurt. So she'll make them leave. Also if her lover is in another dimension then she might go for a relationship in her own dimension just to distract herself from them.

Hobie Brown: Wouldn't mean to cheat. But he might get tempted into having an affair. Nothing serious just something casual. But he tries to keep it a secret from his one true love. Also if Hobie did end up kidnapping the reader and locking them up somewhere then he may have another relationship with someone else. But that person is like a substitute for the reader. He pretends that they are her and that He and the reader are a real couple, but it's actually the other person. Until he can trust the reader enough to take them outside. Does this make sense? I feel like it doesn't make sense.

42- Miles: Will have some causal flings here and there to get their mind off the reader. But also watches them through their window each night. Like he's obsessed but too prideful to fully admit it. If he does kidnap the reader and sees that she's being incompliant. He'll try to make her jealous by going out on cute dates with some other girl. Then showing her pictures. Show her how easily replaceable she is. He'll obviously break her mind until she's begging him not to go out, not to leave her alone. Why is it that every time I write anything for this guy it gets real dark, real quick?

Miguel O'Hara: YES!! THIS MAN IS NOT EMOTIONALLY STABLE. Like he might just make an AI of his lover, talk to her, program her to love him, and convince himself that this is his real lover. If his lover is in another dimension then maybe he'll date someone with certain similar characteristics to her but then kinda get distracted by his duties. He'll just go back lovingly looking at them through a screen.

Peter B: He might get drunk and cheat by accident. But I think that's more something he would have done in the first movie. If the reader is MayDay's mother then no way he's cheating.

Spider Noir: He's too old-fashioned to cheat. He'll treat his lover like a princess. I can't really see him doing anything like that.

Aaron: He might cheat on the reader if he loves her enough. Like his life as the Prowler is dangerous, he knows this. So he'll distract himself with other people as apposed to getting mixed up with the reader and risking their life.

As for me: (I'll do kiss, marry, kill)

MARRY: MIGUEL O'HARA. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN. He means everything to me😍😍. I just want to be his cute little housewife. Someone he can look forward to coming home to. Plus I'd also try to help him out with his whole Spiderman thing.

KISS: MILES G MORALES (prowler miles) I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! He also gives me lowkey season 4 Eren vibes from AOT lol.

Kill:... Honestly no one. I love everyone so much. Like maybe Miguel so no one can have him but me. But like also Miles G, so you know, no one can have him but me. 😂😂 sorry about that went full yandere for a moment.

I cannot hold it in anymore I am absolutely OBSESSED with your art and the way you draw Lao.

I also would like to inquire….. just perhaps… what are your top head-canons for him, and/or your opinions on popular ships for him/which ones you like?

No pressure!! I hope you are having a wonderful day 🧡

me, trying to act normal every time an awesome artist I look up to says something nice about my art

Thank you so much! first of all, please take this Lao with you, he's yours now~

now let me preheat my bad english.....

Most of my Lao headcanons (if they are not related to a particular art I made) were yoinked from another ppl, because DAMN FELLAS your brains are sexy. 😏 So you might have heard some of them already, but here's my top general hcs for him.

NOTE: we are talking about the current timeline mk1 Kung Lao

- Lao is very expressive with his hands and he's THE TOUCH person. Just look at how many times he took Raiden by the shoulder in the first chapter alone?? He'll be pushing, and patting, and shoving, and punching you all over while telling about his breakfast or something.

- Lao is struggling with inferiority complex. Since childhood he was under a tremendous amount of pressure, he has to do things right, to be better, or else he would be mocked or punished. Now he believes that he should be the best, or he would not be taken seriously. He's constantly seeking validation in his peers, causing him to act cocky and over-confident.

- Anger issues, usually when someone questions his skill.

- People call him lazy because he tries to act like everything comes naturally to him. In reality he trains hard and takes things seriously. Like, he's fighting with a RAZOR RIMMED HAT fgs, it's not something you can master in a day! Also he always got energy running through his veins, lucky bastard... *cries in iron deficiency*

- He makes his hats by himself. With his hands. He designs and creates. ALL of them. I will die on that hill.

- He's a slow to trust, but ride or die as a friend.

- He's a trouble maker FOR SURE, but not a bully. He's respectful and polite to most of the people (if they don't provoke him), also drinks his respect-women juice.

- Master of sass and sarcasm. And yes, I think he swears, but in the right circumstances or the right company.

- He's got rizz NOW, but in his teens he had zero game because he could not keep his mouth shut and would scare off the person with the most ridiculous piece of idiocy.

- I read it in one fic and really loved the idea that Liu Kang "told the blossoms" about Kung Lao, and they really liked him 🌸 so now they are following him around and bringing him news and gossips, that's why there's always those goddamn petals aroung him aasghGHHHj 🌸🌸

- He's rolling his eyes at Johnny, but they quickly become besties.

- He actually has a cold relationship with Liu Kang. Don't get me wrong, he trusts him, respects the hell out of him and will run into a wall for a man. But I think Liu will distance himself because of all the memories of HIS Lao and how badly they sting. oTL

- That smile and a bow Lao did after loosing to Raiden? He meant that. Loosing hurted BAD, but the pain was pushed aside by the sence of pride and happiness for his best friend.

oh shit, this is getting out of hand, I'm starting to think about the other timelines and dynamics, we'll be here all week hhhhgh

About the popular ships... Well, I'm a big fan of railao (yeah NO SHIT who would have thought), but I am a multishipper, so I'm just happy to see my fav characters feeling good in someone's hands. 😊

I really like the liulao and laoliutana for several different reasons. 👀 The johnshilao (or is it laojohnshi..? erm) was the one that didn't impress me at first (love the Lao just third-wheeling with a tired expression <:'D), but recently I'm starting to warm up to all the different dynamics these three can have. And that is, in no small part, thanks to you and your kenlao agenda 👀💖 damn you created such a nice cozy universe for them I'm 🥺💕💗💖

Bi-Han/Lao is a bit random, but I love how catto did them, they are such a cute pair of assholes! >:3

ummm, yeah, so I'm going to stop there ahahhH. Thank you again for asking and for all the nice little feels your art provides, I admire you tremendously~

leo and mikey, treat

(fav duo tbh, pretty underrated)

More Sidelined AU! Are you sick of me yet? Hopefully not because this has consumed my brain.

Part 1

Part 2

We're jumping ahead a bit in time to hopefully give you guys a bit more idea of The Flavor of this AU. And also to give it a bit of a happier note. It's not all doom and gloom!

No content warnings to speak of on this one

---

Mikey lands on the roof and powers on his earpiece, whispering, "Mikey in position. Can you hear me, Base? Come in Base."

"Helloooo New York City," comes Leo's voice, loud and clear. "You're tuning into L.A.I.R 179.12, with your host, DJ Neon Leon! Bringing you the hottest rock from the other side of the millennia."

Mikey snickers, then tries to pull himself back together. "Leo, come on! I'm here."

"Who?"

He sighs, even though he isn't mad at all. "I'm here, DJ Neon Leon."

"Ohohoho, excellent." He hears the click of typing, and then Leo says, "Can you get me visuals, Shelldon?"

"Right away, Neon Leon," Shelldon's voice crackles through the comms. There's a moment of silence, and Mikey can just imagine Leo rolling his chair around his "command center."

(He and Donnie had spent ages building it to look like the bridge of the S.S. Starbolt, with added mobility access, of course. Leo loves it as much as Donnie loves his lab.)

"Got your visuals, dudes," says Shelldon. There's some more typing from Leo's end, then he says, "Alright, Miguel, you should see two guards coming around the building riiiiight... now!"

Sure enough, two guards in plainclothes circle either side of the old apartment building across the street. Mikey watches as the two of them meet in front of the entrance, exchange a few words, then turn and head back the way they came.

"Right on time, Leo."

"Perfect, we're synced." Some more typing, and then, "The rooftop will be clear - let me know when you're over there and I'll get you inside."

"Roger that," he says. "Mikey out." Then he clicks his earpiece to silenced.

A hop, skip, and a jump later he's on the opposite roof. There's a door here, and he edges toward it before contacting Leo again.

"I'm here!"

"Alright... Disabling alarms... now!" Mikey can just see how dramatically he must have pushed the button. "Check the door to see if it's locked."

Mikey reaches out and jiggles the handle, but it doesn't budge. "Locked."

"Alright, no problem - you got your lockpicks?"

"Yep!"

"Remember what I taught you?"

"Yeah, I got it."

"Alright. Make me proud, little bro."

Mikey grins, pulling his lockpicking kit out of his gear. It takes him a few minutes, because he's nowhere near as fast at this as Leo is, but he gets it done without needing to ask for help. The training Leo made him go through is still fresh in his mind.

"Alright, I'm in," he says as he slips through the door. He's in a deserted stairwell, but just to be safe he crouches down into the shadows near the wall.

"So far, so good. You need to go down two flights of stairs. No guards are coming around right now, but keep it quiet just in case."

"Don't worry, I'll be silent as a mouse!"

"Knowing Dad that's not giving me as much confidence as you think."

Mikey giggles, then sucks in a breath and gets his game face on. Right. Silent. Ninja skills GO.

He does manage to make it to the right floor without major incident. There's no one in the hall when he enters, looking at the rows of numbered doors. He doesn't know why this is where the artifact is being kept hidden, but it doesn't matter.

"According to our intel, you should be looking for door four-oh-nine," says Leo. "The floor's clear, so get goin'."

"Got it," whispers Mikey, then hurries along in a silent crouch to the door Leo specified. He stops when he gets there, hissing in disappointment.

"What's up?"

"There's some kind of keypad lock."

"No problem. Just hook Donnie's doohickey in there."

Donnie would definitely hate it if he heard them calling it a "doohickey," and that makes Mikey grin. He pulls it out of his gear (it looks like a USB stick, but slightly thinner) and slips it into the maintenance slot on the keypad.

"Alriiight, hacking in progress," says Leo. "Big solo mish is going pretty smoothly so far, huh?"

"Yep," says Mikey proudly. "Told you guys I got this."

"That you did. Oh, and... alakazam!"

There's a click as he says it, then the red light on the keypad turns green. Mikey grins and opens the door, slipping inside the dusty apartment.

"You're getting pretty good at that hacking thing."

"Uh, you know I don't actually hack anything, right bud? I just get Shelly here to do it for me, or shoot it off to Dee if it's too complex."

"Don't sell yourself so short, dude!" says Shelldon. "You're picking it up real quick!"

"Ugh, don't say that. It makes me sound like nerd."

Mikey laughs again, searching the apartment for... well, he's not sure exactly. But he's pretty sure he'll know it when he sees it.

"What's the Foot Clan want this thing for, anyway?" he asks.

"Ours is not to question why, Miguel. I'm leaving that question for Donnie to answer."

"Mm... guess so..." He's about to say something else, but then he feels... something. Like a pulse, getting stronger as he moves toward a closet.

"...I think... I can feel it."

"Feel it?"

"Yeah... it's like..." He frowns, moving forward. "Like it's calling to me."

He opens the closet to find a safe. It also has an electronic lock, so once again he inserts the doohickey. The safe door opens with a click, and he peers inside.

There's only one item: a glittering green stone, with markings he doesn't understand carved in its surface. The pulse is super strong now, waves of energy washing over Mikey. Whatever this thing is, it's definitely powerful.

"I found it!" he says to Leo, a little louder than he should. He reaches in and wraps his fingers around it.

"Great! Hold on, just let me see if-"

Before he finishes his sentence, Mikey pulls the stone out - and immediately a loud alarm starts blaring, making him jump.

"What the heck is that!?" he yelps, jumping to his feet. He hears Leo curse on the other end of the line.

"Pressure alarm. Get out of there!"

The windows are barred - it's why he didn't come in that way in the first place. Mikey has no choice but to go back the way he came, dashing into the hallway. He turns on his heel and is making for the stairwell when his earpiece crackles again.

"No good, they're coming up the stairs."

"Then where am I supposed to go!?" he asks, frantic. All the windows are barred in the hallway, too, so that's no good.

"Okay, okay, hold on... oh, I got it! Opposite direction, about five doors down. Laundry chute."

Mikey sprints. Just as he hears the door of the stairwell open, he's tipping into the chute, pulling his limbs into his shell.

Getting chased by guards? No fun. Sliding down a laundry chute? Very fun.

"Whoooohoohooo!" he cheers when he reaches the bottom, landing in a pile of old rags and t-shirts. "That was awesome!"

"I remember having a distinctly less fun time the last time I had to do that," says Leo. "Anyway, stay there. I'm going to set off the roof access alarms and lure the guards up top, then you go up the stairs and slip out the front. Got it?"

"Got it!"

Leo's plan goes perfectly, and within a few minutes he's back outside. One later and he's back on the rooftops, running to safety.

"Yessss!" he yells once he's finally far enough away, jumping in the air and pumping his fist. "Mission successful baby!"

"I knew you could do it, little bro!" cheers Leo, his voice full of pride, and it makes Mikey beam.

"Couldn't have done it without you, Leo," he says back, truthfully.

It takes Leo a second to answer, which puts the smallest damper on Mikey's enthusiasm, but finally he comes back with, "Sure thing. You know I'm always here to help."

It's not perfect. But it's getting better. Leo is getting better, every day.

Mikey's celebratory mood cannot be quashed. He whoops again, eliciting laughs from Leo's end.

"Alright, now get your butt home before Raph freaks out. He's walked past my door twelve times."

"Thirteen," Shelldon corrects.

"Thirteen!" Leo echoes.

"You got it! Mikey out!"

He clicks the earpiece to silent, then runs and jumps to the next roof with an extra spring in his step. His solo mission was a complete success!

Of course, no missions were truly solo anymore. Not with his faithful older brother ever in his ear.

KICKS YOUR DOOR DOWN

YOU!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY QUINCAMO PROMPT IDEAS!!!! EITHER SFW OR NSFW ARE ACCEPTABLE - pwurrz

*SITS IN MY CHAIR, TAKE MY GLASSES OFF* my dear quincamo fairy, what a surprise to see you here. before tumblr, i've never really thought about quincy with yakumo, in a romantic relationship, but i say that i'm surprised how much i ended up myself in the quincamo hole. it happened right after a certain oomf shared very delicious quincy art. and then, the impact, i had a divine revelation through a dream, basically all the headcanons came to me on a platter. the gates of every quincy shipp opened before my eyes, and those are specially self indulgent. so. SELF INDULGENCE WARNING.

thinking about quincy's usual calm demeanor, when i really think about quincamo, i imagine a really hot scene in a scenario where they would have an already established relationship. i don't know, everything about quincamo to me just screams domestic . i imagine them at quincy's house, in a cozy afternoon. quincy would be shirtless of course, don't blame me. his tits are made to be free. AHEM. in this scenario, quincy, with his bare chest, having just woken up, would come to slowly hug yakumo from behind while yakumo is cooking their dinner. something in quincy's sleepy mind just told him to drag yakumo to bed with him again, but he just stays there instead. smelling yakumo’s hair because yeah i think a lot about the scent of yakumo's hair with a little bit of sweat, it would smell so fucking good,. quincy would snuggle his nose until yakumos neck, murmuring in a deep voice something yakumo doesn't understand very well but oh gosh, it would send shivers down his spine. quincy's big, strong arms wrapping around yakumo's slender body, quincy just genuinely likes to hold him. He would even close his eyes, almost falling asleep again, while wrapping yakumo like this. oh, poor yakumo, he would be flushed of course, but feeling quincys hand massaging his waist and hips is so fucking good he just let it happen, and the little kitchen is silent, the only sound is their breath, and for yakumo, his pounding heart. he is embaarassed to realize that this turned him on in a such way- and quincy is just there, almost comletely in the dream world. what i think its specially hot about this scenario is yakumo’s awaked hunger, i can even imagine his face in the exact moment he thinks about quincy fucking him in the kitchen. 

oho i just thought about this some week ago, and i swear i am not a pervert but when i think about yakumo's dominant side, a confident yakumo thinking about put his hands possessively in quincy's tits while he shallows quincy's cock little by little, already taken by his instinctive desire of shallowing quincy and keeping him inside. but you know what, he just stay in fantasies in this scenario. i enjoy so much yakumo's secret little fantasies, i could eat some popcorn while yakumo touches himself thinking about riding quincy with his thick fingers shoving deep into his throat. i know they could just, i dont know, make lazy kitchen sex but they WOULD NOT. for quincy, it's not practical, and yakumo is just, he waits until quincy takes the initiative, HE LIKES IT :> to me they dont scream desesperate messy sexual interactions like other combinations with yakumo, MOST OF THE TIME. never say never because I ALSO think about those special ocasions- oh wait I AM NOT MAKING THIS A PURE HORNY POST LETS TALK ABOUT PROMPTS

Okay so yakumo rimming quincy **GETS SHOT**

S-SSORRY SSSORRY I LIED EVERY SCENARIO I THINK ABOUT THEM IS A PURE HORNY POST YAKUMO IS MY FAV BOI AND QUINCY IS HOT I WANT THEM TO MAKE OUT AND WHAT IF QUINCY NEVER GOT A HOT TONGUE INSIDE HIS ASSHOLE LIKE NEVER NOT EVEN WITH KUYA  AND HIS FIRST TIME IS WITH YAKUMO I WANT DRAMA HAPPENING oh you better be ready for the things i will send in your ask box

[oulkheir]

hot take on uenoyama ritsuka's character:

disclaimer: ritsuka is my fav character (that's half a lie because they are all my favs) so i don't intend to hate on him or whatever, i just love finding criticisms in given because it's so perfect that sometimes it triggers me. i'm writing this essay to satisfy my analytical spirit <3

please do not start a debate if you don't read until the end, it won't be relevant.

the main problem with ritsuka's characterisation is that his personality mainly revolves around mafuyu's character. all what he's doing and all what he thinks about is always about mafuyu. i first thought "okay thats super funny because he's always gay panicking" and "he's got trouble communicating and this is cute and relatable as a high schooler" and "okay that's a romance, of course the main plot is going to be about the characters love"...

but lately i've thought about it again and it occurs to me that because of this characterisation, ritsuka is one of the less well written personality in given. the fact that he's oppositely arrogant and very kind makes him very interesting already. but that's all. he doesn't really care about other people's relationship and he's always the last one to notice people's feelings (at the contrary of mafuyu, who is really aware of his surroundings). his only struggles are related to mafuyu. music isn't the exception, because the reason why he kept wanting to do music is mafuyu. the excitement he found back in his passion is openly due to mafuyu's presence. would he still want to be pro if mafuyu wasn't in the band ? would he still find it interesting ? if he accepts playing for syh, it's also for mafuyu's song. if he keeps composing for given, it's for mafuyu to sing on his ideas. he wants to hear mafuyu, he wants mafuyu to hear him.

what about the others ?

now, you can't say that about hiiragi because he's the same type as ristuka, but he's got his grieving bound to his character. the fact that he's really attached to yuki and mafuyu adds to his personality, even though he is crazy about shizu. his talent is overly stated, he's reminded as dazzling and shining multiple times and that's what builds his character. you can't say that about haruki, even though he's the one thinking he is the less talented and not a genius. just these facts prove his struggles involve his self confidence about everything, not only about his love interest. you can't say that for ugetsu, because even though his characterisation was built around akihiko, he was set free after their breakup and started a genuine friendship with mafuyu. again, his genius side makes him relevant to the plot, interesting (and is helpful for mafuyu's development). you obviously can't say that for akihiko, who's got a deep background due to his shameful actions because of the lack of money, and who's got a strong personality which lead him to general relationship hooks, not only with ugetsu but also with other people.

and about the jokes ?

even the main running gag with ritsuka is that he's crazy about mafuyu. it's repeated over and over that all he drags about is mafuyu's behaviour, mafuyu's voice, mafuyu's face, mafuyu this, mafuyu that... it's an insane amount of bonuses we have about him with mafuyu (even in the 10th mix). meanwhile in the other way around, mafuyu's bonuses are about his childhood friends, about kedama, about ugetsu. this is important to me.

i get that we need that simple character to let the others shine, this may be the reason why he doesn't have a heavy background nor big trust/self-confidence/personal issues. and he's the egotistical type, of course he doesn't pay attention to other people's struggles if it's not about his lover. the only moment he felt inferior about shizu and hiiragi, he immediately put himself together and the issue lasted two pages. i'm pissed about that. i needed kizu to ruin his composure and make him doubt as hell about the future. but all what he wanted again was mafuyu to hear his song and mafuyu to become pro with him... it's all for mafuyu.

he's in love and we love that.

i also get that no one complains about this because let's be honest : this is really romantic. the way he sincerely loves mafuyu and would do anything for him is insane and makes us dream. but this doesn't explain why he wouldn't get any other interest in his life, because the other characters do. they have strong bonds with other characters and they have real struggles other than just love.

shizu is not better, though.

i admit that he's not the "worse" character, because shizu exists (i love him as well i swear). the surprise effect kizu played with shizu almost made me forgot about his weird characterisation. by "surprise effect", i mean that he was supposed to be that side sidish siding character with no relevance, but he suddenly got mad and revealed his grudges, his desires, his (wild) thoughts. that shocked us and that's what made his character interesting. but for real, he's worse than ritsuka in terms of "all i care about is my lover" actions. all his anger is for hiiragi, all his jealousy is for hiiragi, his passion is for hiiragi, his decisions, the way he plays, the way he behaves... it's all for hiiragi as well. even the fact he loves acting in the 10th mix is for hiiragi, seriously ?

conclusion

now that you let me sounded like i am a ritsuka and shizu hater, i wish to remind you that i love them because they're madly in love with their respective partner and both super hot- (i care a lot about looks). more importantly : just because i think ritsuka is surprisingly less well written than the others, it doesn't mean that he's a bad character. he is still very relatable and deep, worthy to look into ; the others of given are just better.

feel free to debate now that you read it all ! thanks if you made it here <3

[agirlwithglam]

hey

I just found out that I'm going to be moving countries and school during my final year of highschool. i really don't know what to do, how to think or feel about this whole situation.

could you please give me some reassurance that everything will be okay and also give me some advice for entering into that new chapter of my life in terms of the actual academics and also making friends and adapting to everything. I would really appreciate it

love,

-a girl who is stressing rn <3

hiiiii!! of course i'd be more than happy to help you out. moving to a new school can be really scary & tricky, esp if you had some old friends. but don't worry because remember things happen FOR you and not TO you. you never know, maybe by moving to this new country you may get wonderful opportunities, meet amazing people, and discover a life you didn't know even existed!

i totally understand if you're stressing right now and you definitely shouldn't try to suppress or scold yourself for feeling that way. instead learn to comfort yourself, learn to be there for yourself. remember that no matter what life throws your way, you will be able handle it. you've literally handled so many things so well in the past, this is no different.

instead of asking life "why me?" ask "try me". lol i read this a while ago and i'm just gonna leave this here instead it helps.

🎀💌 moving to a new school:

❥ making friends

remember that no matter what, no matter how the dynamics are in the new school, never lose yourself trying to "fit in" or be accepted.

join clubs, after school activities, societies, sports, etc. (it can do wonders with making friends + you've already got something in common with them!)

be the person you wanna be friends with. kind, waits for others, makes them laughs, listens to them, shares, respectful, etc. but never NEVER hurt yourself/ make yourself disrespected while doing that.

also if there are any other new kids as well, try to make friends with them! bc i know it can be hard joining friendship groups so finding another newbie to bond with may be easier as they are also new to this!

how to magnetic & alluring

how to be a good conversationalist

don't be desperate. just a reminder that you should be perfectly fine being on your own so that you're not doing things you'll regret just to be accepted with low quality people.

lend & share pencils, pens, gum, etc.

looking (somewhat) fabulous + being confident. fortunately, the first things people see about you is your looks, but with that also your body language & confidence (fortunately cus ur so pretty). you could accessories with jewellery if you're allowed, have neatly done nails. but also just basics like taking care of your hair, ironed clothes, looking polished & not too sleepy. however, in the end, as long as you stand up straight, take up space, comfortable and confident in yourself, ur physical appearance is x 100!!! (i am NOT tryna make you feel better, it is a fact that i have actually seen.) -> more info how to look pretty without makeup

❥ academics

time management strategies

how to be the it girl in school

how to be a whole new student this school year

get ready to get back to school

it girl's guide to academic

channel your inner rory gilmore lol. this may literally get you through the whole year, esp if you're struggling to make friends + act like her when you're in class & studying!

in the end honey, just remember everything will be okay. everything will be okay. everything will work out. why? because you're god's fav <3. also, one day you'll be an oldie grandma feeling nostalgic about these younger days, cherish them because you have no idea how much you'll miss them when you're older!!

always lots of love, xx Vanilla

AO3 Ask Game

Thank you for the tag @missunderstoodlyrics, and thanks lovely @cheeseplants for kicking it off!

What fandoms do you write in?

Just Good Omens! Though I did throw some Top Gear smut into writers chat one evening and I still think there's something there…

How many words have you published in 2024?

I published my very first fic on the 31st of December last year, and everything else has been this year - sooooo not counting collabs, 138,904. It's nowhere near as much as some, but I'm v happy. It's a lot more than I ever expected.

What is your greatest achievement this year?

Getting to the end of Storm Jizz! I never finish anything - my tiny sparrow brain is constantly distracted by the next shiny thing, and just knowing that I'm actually capable of finishing something a little longer is so confidence-giving.

What are your favourite top three fics you’ve written this year?

Someone is Calling Him Shorewards AKA Storm Jizz - I dunno, I just like it. I'd absolutely recommend @nosferatini's podfic over actually reading it though.

Spookake - eh, ghost jizz innit.

Zip Wire (Too Fast for Love) - v silly.

What was your biggest pit of despair moment?

There's not been a specific moment, but I've done a good bit of wallowing in self-pity about fics (both reading and writing). Something I've struggled with is trying to maintain creative momentum when I'm travelling, and I would like to have more discipline there instead of just getting in a sulk.

What have you learned?

That 'groyne' is a word (yes thank you Google Docs).

What fic did you want to do but never made it off the ground?

Oh, some weirdness, who knows. I have silly ideas all the time and it's for the best that most of them don't see the light of day.

Did you beta any fics? Any favs you want to shout out?

Yesssss!!!!! I am currently beta-ing Still We Know Each Other So Well by @paperclipninja, and it is gorgeous and delightful and all the things. I adore this fic and it's been an absolute privilege tagging along for the ride, chapter by chapter. It's soft, sweet, and mysterious, and I urge everyone to read it because you will fall in love.

I'm also beta-ing In Headlights AKA DEER FIC by @doonarose, and good lord - Doons is the absolute queen of smut and this fic is so ridiculously hot, with the most wonderful, considered characterisations of these dorks. It's an absolute feast and everyone should be reading it.

What three fics have you read this year that you love?

Soooooo many more than three. Like, SO many more. I'm going to stick with finished fics just to narrow it down slightly, but I have a few WIPs I'm following that I am obsessed with as well (Still We Know Each Other So Well, Scorn and the Saint-Maker, In Headlights!).

A Little Life by @gaiaseyes451 - I will never, ever get over this one. It was a masterclass in beautiful, evocative writing that tore me to shreds while at the same time being one of the loveliest things I've ever read. I cannot rave about this fic enough - it absolutely transcends fandom and Aziracrow, and I know I will read it again and again.

Stuck On You by @zin-lynn-c - I beta'd this one and it was such an utter, utter joy and a gift to get those chapters just a teensy bit early. This is the fic that has everything - humour, angst, smut, gorgeous prose and storytelling, the BEST Agnes Nutter, and so much more. Instant classic, go wrap your eyeballs around it if you haven't already.

Give Me Jizz or Give Me Death - A Choose Your Own Jizz (CYOJ) Adventure by the most amazing band of smutgoblins, along with transcendental cover art by @ineffablecrankshaft - I cannot list top three fics without including this absolute INSANITY that was my birthday gift. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most phenomenal, absurd, wonderful gift I've ever received in my actual life, and I treasure the fuck outta it.

What ideas are percolating for next year?

SPIES! CRUSADES! BADGERS! GHOSTS! PIGEONS!

Who do you want to thank?

@paperclipninja for being the ultimate beta, collab partner, cheerleader, chatter and all-round excellent pal. Somehow, despite both being absolute chaos demons, we get things done (about 40% of the time, at least): writing, beta, ridiculous songs, "online research", solving the problems of the world, and everything else besides. Couldn't do it without ya, Clip, and I mean that!

@zinlynn-c for all the cheering, limericks, gasbagging and ghost hunting. If you had told me this time last year that I'd end up sitting in the stairwell of a sixteenth century manor at midnight chatting to its resident ghost with another smutgoblin, I wouldn't have believed it. I still actually can't!

@nosferatini - I can't quite reconcile the idea of Nos as one single person. I suspect she is actually a team of psychologists, an entire theatre troupe, David Tennant, four project managers, and a choir of slightly creepy British children in a trenchcoat. How? Just how do you do it? Nos, you're beyond wonderful, and it's an absolutely privilege to wobble about on the outer curve of your brilliant orbit.

Ridiculous, leg-humping gratitude to all the brilliant, talented artists who contributed art to Storm Jizz - @vavoom-sorted-art, @wingsofopal, @castle-behind-the-rocks, and @ineffablecrankshaft. I am in awe of all of you, thank you soooo much.

Every single person who read, commented, loved, or hated anything I wrote. I appreciate and treasure ever little feeling.

Huge thanks to the @goodomensafterdark community for letting me join in on the fun. Can't wait for another year of goblinery.

I tried to figure out who had been tagged and who hadn't, but omg effort, so just no pressure tagging a bunch of writers: @firstvisittoearth, @paperclipninja, @e-rated-beardo, @doonarose, @zin-lynn-c, @fuzzygoblin, @happynachohologram, @hermiola, @ladybracknellssherry

[lowkey-loki245]

Here I am on my bullshit again, connecting everything I can to ROTTMNT.

Okay, so I like pjsekai, my fav groups are N25 and W×S. We're not gonna talk about which W×S characters fit cause we all know who fits who (Leo = Tsukasa, Donnie = Rui, Emu = Mukey, Nene = Raph). But I really care about the Mad Dogs' parallels with N25, because they not what you'd expect.

You'd probably expect it to be Leo = Mizuki, Mikey = Ena, Kanade = Raph, and Mafuyu = Donnie, but I think it's actually Leo = Ena, Mikey = Mizuki, Kanade = Donnie, and Mafuyu = Raph. Let me explain.

With Leo, I understand expecting him to fit Mizuki. She acts pretty similar to him (and they're both trans), but Leo actually acts a lot like Ena, not just with how he normal acts (confident, prideful, passionate), but also with how he gets so defensive when he's attacked emotional. Just like Ena, he has a fight response to stress.

With Mikey, you would probably compare him to Ena because they're both artist, but I feel like Mikey fits Mizuki better. They both put others before themselves so often that they forget to take care of themselves (we never got that episode focusing in Mikey's issues, did we?).

With Raph, while both him and Kanade definitely have a savior complex, Mafuyu fits him better because they both mask so much. Raph masks his pain and struggles with being a leader so he can be the leader his team needs. Kinda just like Leo, just like Mafuyu, he puts on an act for others. (Also, the marionette imagery with Mafuyu could fit with either the kraangification thing, how he was controlled by the Kraang, or it could be more about how Raph is almost controlled by the Hamato Clan's motto. Raph does sacrifice himself a lot.)

With Donnie, you might cast him as Mafuyu because of the common misconception that Donnie acts emotionless (he's actually shows his true feelings and emotions more than Raph and Leo do), him and Kanade have a lot more in common. Composing is for Kanade what tech is for Donnie. They both treat it like it's completely who they are. They both see their worth in what they create for others, whether it be music to save people, or tech to help his brothers.

I also wanna get into why everyone in N25 wanted to disappear back at the beginning of the story. Mizuki wanted to dissappear because no one saw here for who she was. Ena because no one listened to her wants and needs. Kanade because she saw her worth in her music, what she makes for others, but couldn't find anyone she saved via her music. Mafuyu became her life wasn't her own, it had always been for others.

Everyone treats Mikey like he's fragile, like he isn't his own person that can take care of himself. Leo has severe communication issues with his family because he feels like no one listens to what he says. Donnie sees his tech as the only reason why his family keeps him around. Raph had to give up so much and take care of his brothers, to the point that his fear of being alone is probably connected to how he had to take care of them and step up for when Splinter wasn't there, so he had no way of knowing if they were okay if they weren't with him.

For one last example, let's take N25's lyrics during the rap part of "The Light that Dwells Here" and connect them with the boys.

Mikey (Mizuki): No matter what, I can't erase my heart. I'm sorry for the lonely echo. I had an idea that it would be good to paint over it, so if that's the case, it won't disappear.

Leo (Ena): So that the dark black crack would disappear. So that you couldn't see the strange tears running down my face. I wanted to hide it, I thought I could hide it.

Raph (Mafuyu): I should have forgotten, I should have. It looks so easy to open up like that. Why, why, why, why? After it disappears, the answer won't return.

Donnie (Kanade): A new game where I'll remain more weak, surely the game of punishment will continue. From now on, what should I do, I wonder? Since then, was I a little broken?

I feel like these lyrics fit the boys so well.

They all need therapy so bad, omg.

Since the MET gala is coming up and celebrating him being co chair I thought I would share my opinions on some of lewis hamilton's looks. I'll also share my favorites from last year. Special thanks to one of my favorite blogs on this app for recommending that I do this since she inspired the idea with her own amazing content and insights and is actually the reason I've gained more confidence in sharing my thoughts on this app. @meerey you're the best 🤗💜

2019 : Absolutely my favourite look this custom Tommy suit was everything. It was so well fitted. I honestly loved everything from the jewels to his hair which btw is my favorite hair look of his (we all know his hair was the best in 2019 whether down or in cornrows )

2018 : The heavenly bodies theme was one of my favs of the MET tbh. I would have liked this on him but in my opinion he ruined it with his shoes (unfortunately as he sometimes does) I do wish he would have gone for a Cape to make the look more on theme but it is what it is. ( honorable mention to chadwick boseman who wore an amazing look that year 🕊🌹)

2017: I think this was Dolce. loved that he wore this color I've always been a fan of this type of velvet green and he started to wear accessories however that being said this look was not only ruined by the shoes but the pants. If they had been tailored properly (deep sigh) this would have been great.

And now probably this is going to be controversial and I know I stand alone in the fact that I didn't like it and tbh I'm okay with that....

2021:...... probably the most famous of his looks. I'm gonna be 100% honest I didn't like anything about this look. And when I say everything I mean everything. It lacked imagination, made him look short , it looked like at some point the designer didn't know what to do with the shirt so just gave up halfway through. Irrelevant but I will also say I hated his hair during this period of time. Those locks did not look good on him and he should never have had them. Its just a no from me however I always give credit to the fact that he worked with a black designer and showcased other black designers that year and attended less than 24 hours after having a whole tyre fly above his head. I genuinely respect his commitment to attending even though I'm sure he was mentally and physically traumatised.

That being said I'm sure we are all waiting to see what he's gonna wear this year. I honestly hope he wears something with colour but I did appreciate his all black look at the 2024 MET. Speaking of...

The 2024 met gala was a great theme however many misinterpreted it as floral instead of what it was which was garden of time. My favorite looks from last year were

I mean for her first MET this was an absolute slay from Olivier. She looked incredible and I remember this being the first non floral look I saw and being like FUCKING FINALLY. The hour glass was a perfect nod to the theme.

Not only was this dress stunning but the fact that it had a fucking machine in the back operating the fluttering of the wings on the sleeves, it honestly left me speechless. What left me even more gagged was finding out this queen Mona Patel is a CEO tech billionaire with 9 companies. Iris van herpen really outdid themselves.

I genuinely don't even have to say anything it's no wonder this man is co chair this year because he lives to slay.

Honorable mention:

I have nothing to say I just wanted you to see how pretty he is 😍 no for real the MET is not Charlie's thing but he was dressed beautifully it was simple yet him which i can appreciate. Also the fact that he wore the jewel piece because his lady told him to was sooo precious for me and I honestly loved it.

That's my opinion take it with a grain of salt please and sorry for the long post. 💜 Thanks for reading

what do u think the seduce me boys' fav kinks & positions are? — 🍗

Hey there, since I'm working on a post about their favorite positions already, I'll just answer the question about her kinks here. Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and not everyone may agree to my choice.

Warning: smut – Minors DNI

-I don't own the game or the characters-

James:

James is definitely into bondage and light bdsm. He loves to be in control and lives this out in his sex life. He particularly likes to restrain his partner, be it with a tie, a scarf or something similar. Having such power over the other, seeing them whimper and fall apart beneath him turns him on. For him, this also means that his partner trusts him. That they submit to him in the bedroom, even if the person is otherwise rather confident. Contrary to some beliefs, he doesn't have a daddy kink. Neither brother is turned on by being called daddy - after all, their association with the topic of father is beyond bad, so they can't find this kink arousing even apart from their memories.

Erik:

When it comes to sex, Erik has a sort of voice kink and also a penchant for edging. It turns him on to hear his partner moan and whimper. Knowing that he's the one who can get them into that kind of ecstasy and elicit every little sound of pleasure from them gives him satisfaction. Always keen to give his partner maximum pleasure, heavy breathing and moans are confirmation that he's doing everything right. When it comes to himself, he likes edging. He likes it when his partner edges him and he experiences the climax much more intensely after a few times. Through his past, he has a lot of experience in the sexual field and has tried many things. For this reason, edging is perfect for him, because he experiences his own orgasm stronger, deeper and more intense because he longed for it.

Sam:

Sam tends to have a light breeding kink, albeit unconsciously and he is really fond of outdoor sex. His breeding kink is not very strong, but he is very proud of his maternal lineage, proud of being a demon and even if he is not very aware of it himself, he would like to continue his legacy at some point. Outwardly, he just likes to cum inside his partner and to fill them to the brim. Sam doesn't really realize that the idea of having an heir is simmering under the facade. However, he himself is well aware that he has a strong fondness for having sex outdoors. He likes the adrenaline and the thrill that builds up because there is a risk of getting caught. This is all the more surprising since he doesn't like audience at all and sex is something very personal for him.

Matthew:

It probably won't surprise anyone, but Matthew has a roleplay kink (Kitty Play) in which he takes the dominant part. There is also the tendencies of a breeding kink in him, which he is quite aware of, in contrast to his brother. His roleplay kink conveys a certain playfulness and lightness, he immerses himself in his roles and manages to embody them perfectly without losing sight of the lust and pleasure of him and his partner. When his partner wants to get him lose his cool, leaning in and purring in his ear is often enough. However, they should never do this in public because when Matthew is feeling edgy he tends to get really rough. However, like his other brothers, he would never actually hurt or harm his partner. He likes to cum deep inside his partner and the thought of carrying on his legacy usually makes him want to go for a second round right away.

Damien:

Damien definitely has a slight praise kink. Unfortunately, his ability to read minds also plays a part in his kinks. Since he always heard the thoughts of the other demons around him in the castle, he developed a penchant for voyeurism. However, it's a slightly different form of voyeurism for him, as it manifests itself as turning him on when he hears his partner's sexual fantasies and ideas in their mind. A bonus point is when his partner masturbates in front of him while thinking about sexual adventures they wants to have with him. After a few minutes he will definitely do more than just watch and as far as he can he will make their fantasies come true. When they have dirty thoughts about him in public, he quickly blushes and suddenly feels an urgent need to get home as soon as possible. When his partner praises him and brags about how good he is in bed, it will push his libido to new heights.

ok now im gonna need u to write photographer armin pls & thank you!! him giving u a photo album of his fav photos when he confesses? yes 100%

CHLOE MY DEAREST. omg I'm sorry I left you in drafts for so long. I had two panic inducing pet incidents happen within like two days of each other. Everyone's okay, I just freak out when things happen to my babies. **I've also never written for Armin, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. I hope this is okay💖 It's probably my own insecurities about the way I look but I literally fantasize about seeing myself through other peoples eyes, so literally any opportunity to write about that, I'm gonna take it LOL**

You love when it's like this. Just you and Armin laying out on the hood of his car, music playing softly through the open windows, while you talk about anything and everything under the sun.

You loved everyone in the friend group, but you and Armin just seemed to have a special connection. It was easy to talk to him about everything, and he was always bringing little fun facts for you when you needed some cheering up or even just a change of subject when things got too heavy.

So, here you were, chattering on and on about a movie you’d watched recently, telling him about every theory you’d thought up and all the different characters. You can’t help but notice Armin seems to be looking at you differently this time, more attentive, but also not. Like he’s making more eye contact but he’s not actually hearing you.

“Armin?…you okay?” You ask, face etched with concern.

“Hm?” He seems to shake himself out of his head to answer you. “Y-yeah. I’m fine, sorry. Just a lot of my mind, I guess.”

Well, that was different. He’s usually really up front with you when something was bothering him. The two of you confiding in each other and offering advice where you could.

“Do you want to talk about it?” You sit up, propping yourself up on your elbows to look at him more clearly. He seems…you don’t know, nervous maybe?

He pauses, like he’s trying to decide if he really wants to talk to you about this specific thing or not. He sighs, turning to face you.

"Do you ever wonder if it's better to enjoy something the way it is, taking what you can get, rather than risking ruining everything by asking for more?"

"I guess that depends on what the thing is," you say, trying not to pry. "I think, if it's something important to you, what's the harm in asking for more and trying to get the most out of it?"

Armin makes a face, it's almost a pained expression. You scoot a little closer to him, taking his hand in yours, trying to comfort him.

"It would help if I knew exactly what we were referring to." You say gently, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. You just want him to know that you're here for him, just like he's always been there for you.

He takes a deep breath, looking into your eyes, you hope he can see the genuine concern there,

"You know, every time I talk to everyone else about this, they always tell me just to man up and say something. That everything will end up okay, and I'm sure if it was anyone else, that would be true. But, I'm not anyone else, I'm me and..and.."

He does this when he's nervous or anxious about something. Ranting and going on and on, not realizing that all the extra words don't do anything to soothe his nerves. You give his hand another squeeze.

"Armin," You say gently, "I still don't have any idea what you're talking about."

He gives you an apologetic look, then lets out a nervous chuckle.

"Sorry, you're right. I'm not being very clear, am I?" He shakes his head again and goes to move off the hood. "Hang on, maybe this will help."

You wait for him as he goes into the trunk of the car, searching for something before slamming the trunk back down and holding out a book to you. You take it hesitantly, unsure if it's really meant for you or not despite him handing it to you.

"Open it," He's still standing at the hood of the car, fiddling with his nails.

You take the book, holding it upright and opening it, surprised to see a bunch of photos, and you seem to be at the center of all of them. There are photos where you were all obviously with the group, but despite there being so many other potential subjects, Armin had focused on you. There were some photos that he took when it was just the two of you, late at night when he'd take you on a drive after complaining that you couldn't sleep, photos of the two of you at breakfast together.

"I um.. I was saving that for your birthday, but Jean and Connie said I should just give it to you now. It's all my favorite pictures of us, a-and some of my favorites of you." He runs his hand through his hair, sighing before he continues. "Look, I know we're really good friends, and I don't want to mess up anything we have.. I just.." Another sigh, and you can't help but stare at him now, album still clutched in your hands. "You're so... special, an-and smart, and funny, and beautiful, it..god, it drives me crazy sometimes. I...like you..like, really, really like you."

You just sit there, hands clutching the album, staring at him. You can't believe what you just heard. Your heart is hammering in your chest, the blood rushing in your ears. He keeps going while you process everything he's said.

"and I... totally get it if you don't feel the same. Our friendship is so important to me and I don't want this to make things weird.."

"Armin," You start, setting the book to the side, before sitting up on your knees to wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him into you. "I like you too, a lot."

"You do?" He asks like he's genuinely surprised.

"Yes, you dummy." You chuckle, cupping his face in your hands. "Do you see me calling anyone else at 3am when I can't sleep?"

"I..I mean, no but I thought you just liked riding in my car the best."

"I like being with you the best."

"Oh," He lets that process for a minute, while you just look at him with that same lovey-dovey look you've always given him, wondering how in the hell he could have missed it. "So, do..do you want to be with me?"

"Obviously," You giggle again, before pressing your lips to his, content to spend your whole summer just like this, with your boyfriend.

Video Essays I Watched In March

With the lack of film watching in my life, I have noticed video essays becoming a big part of my entertainment. This usually happens when I find myself not having the time to sit through a whole movie. I gravitate towards video essays because of their convenience. I can watch a whole one during my lunch and not have to find other things to watch to fill my time. Some might suggest I need to invest in a TV show and to that I say have you seen what is on TV nowadays?

These were some of the highlights of my month. The full list can be found on my instagram under the “video essays” story on my profile.

If you’re not following me on instagram-what are you doing @/webalothebruja

This Month's Fav Creator: Ryan Hollinger

I found myself so far up Ryan Holliger’s ass I could hear him say HIEVER from a mile away. Though it's not very hard to influence my boyfriend, he even enjoys Ryan Hollinger and found himself waiting for his next video on the queue. My particular fondness of him comes from not only his views on the films (because I couldn't agree with him more) but his confident understanding of the films he is reviewing. I consider him a reliable source and the influence on the horror films I will be watching in the future. For me, watching a video essay on a movie I have yet to see doesn't ruin the fun for me. If anything it makes me want to watch the film more because I can then go back to the video and see what points he was making. These are some of the videos I watched from him this month:

Ryan Hollinger-Exploring The Things Shockingly Faithful Video Game Adaptation ⭐️9/10

Ryan Hollinger- Exploring Nicolas Cage’s Most Disturbing Film ⭐️9/10

Ryan Hollinger- Why Is The House That Jack Built So Messed Up ⭐️8/10

Favorite Video This Month:

Hailey Elizabeth- 14 Year Old Murders Mom Over a Vape: Case of Carly Gregg

⭐️9/10

I had heard of this story briefly when it came out but I NEVER heard the details that made this story wickedly evil. This was one of those videos that had been sitting in my “watch later” folder on youtube for the longest time. I had enough interest to put it in there but I hadn't come around to watching it until recently. I used to watch Hailey Elzabeth a lot during covid and surprisingly missed the style of her videos. She is one of those creators who is just good at telling a story. And even if she’s doing something as simple as putting on makeup, I never lose interest in what she is talking about.

Unfortunately for me she was a youtuber that happened to fall through the cracks of the algorithm so I rarely see any of her videos but I'm glad this is the one that brought her back to me. One of the great things about Haley is she uses footage from different outlets. She shows the video they used in court that presents the crime that was done. When I finished watching this video I couldn't help but send it to my homies. That's how much it impacted me.

Good But Hard to Recommend:

Nicole Rafiee- Chronically online girl explains Nikki Blonsky controversy + lore.

⭐️10/10

This is a category that I am unsure will stay here but it felt needed. I loved Hairspray when I was a kid so I clicked on this video mainly for nostalgia purposes. I had briefly heard about Nikki Blonsky’s racist past recently. I am no longer on tiktok due to political indifferences so I had no idea she had a resurgence over on that side of the internet. This video really went into detail on her past which I appreciated because I wasn't keeping tabs on the girl. Really the only thing I knew her from was Hairspray and all her tweets where she would introduce over the internet numerous times.

This video feels educational, even though there is chisme being spread which I appreciate. I think what sets Nicole apart from other drama channels is she's really just here to tell a story and update anyone who may not have all the details.

What makes this hard to recommend is the topic. To be honest I dont know anyone around me who gives a shit about Hairspray as much as I do. I showed my best friend Micah Hairspray for the first time last year. I want to say it didn't age well but then again, was it ever really considered a great piece of film when it came out? I’m unsure. I was only 5 years old when it was released.

Least Favorite This Month:

Whang!- Reddit’s Greatest Unsolved Mystery: SecretHDD and Dovic - Tales From The Internet

⭐️0/10

This video essay, though short, pissed me off. I haven’t watched any of this creators videos previous to this one but just based off the recommendations under the video, I believe this is part of a series. This topic may have been a huge mystery on Reddit but I dont necessarily think it translated to that big of a deal in video form. I think Reddit mysteries sometimes come off as a bigger deal when you’re looking at the threads and the numerous comments but if you’ve ever tried to explain some of the things you’ve seen on Reddit to a friend, they can come out lackluster. Which is probably why those videos exist where they’ll tell a story from Reddit but have some Minecraft gameplay in the background. Because without that gameplay, people would probably find nothing to hook themselves onto to want to watch the full video.

Now, this isnt any hate to the creator. His rendition of this story wasnt the problem. It was the story itself. This “great” Reddit mystery was never solved because the case itself never came to light.

The story goes that a Redditor found a hard drive sewed into a bag he had purchased online that happened to be second hand. When he tried to contact the previous owner he got no response. After numerous attempts to try to get the information off the hard drive, it was then going to be sent to another Redditor who believed they could retrieve the information. Which is a great set up cause now we’re all wondering what the hell was on the hard drive. Turns out the original redditor never sent it to the guy so now we’re just left with a guy who found a hard drive. There. Done. No new information…

So in that case why are we telling this story?

Short and Sweet:

Popicana- Iconic Pop Culture Moments: The Meat Dress

Popicana is a channel that makes various videos on drama from the 2000s. It can sort of be seen as a time capsule for all things seen in the tabloids or topics that may need more information beyond the rumors.

The Selador-Rage by Stephen King | The Book You’re Not Supposed to Read

I don’t want to give away too much information about this video but this was one of my favorites this month as well! If it hadn’t been so short I probably would have placed it in the number one spot but I think the length of the video is excellent.

This was a topic I knew about briefly but I did not know the details. Leave it to Stephen King to write some freaky shit. I couldn't be more surprised. Then again, reflecting on the events that led to Stephen King outing himself makes me realize we as a society would have cancelled this man to death had this happened in the present time.

Honorable Mentions:

Defunctland- The History of the Muppet Show

⭐️9/10

I love Defunctland! This is one of their videos from their Muppet series.

Brie Cheese- Shane Dawson Won $250,000 For Directing Not Cool (2014) | The Chair Review

⭐️9/10

Even though I have watched numerous videos about Shane Dawson in The Chair, this video is what got me to finally watch the series.

Theft King-The FNAF game that DISAPEARED

⭐️9/10

I cannot believe this game is actually real. After hearing about the lore surrounding this game, I can see it easily becoming lost media.

Coldcrashpictures-Candyman: Breaking All The Rules to Horror

⭐️9/10

If you’re curious about Candy Man lore-and don't mind spoilers-this is an interesting watch. I have recently become infatuated with Tony Todd so I have been looking more into his filmography.

If you have any recommendations for video essays please let me know! I’m always open to new creators and topics!
