"why would i do that?" Zim or Zaxaria!

@vortship

The ex-invader sneers, crossing his arms and glaring at Hal.

"is that NOT what vortians DO anymore? SIT in COMFORTABLE SPOTS??"

Zim supposes, idly, that since Vort is no longer under Vortian control, maybe they didn't. But he didn't exactly care. Vortians weren't friends of his. Unless you counted 777, which he didn't. At least not exactly.

"SIT." He points at the bench. Which may or may not actually qualify as a comfortable spot. "and explain yourself. there shouldn't be other non-humans on this disgusting planet anyhow! do you have any idea how badly you could screw up the MISSION?"

A brief pause... And then a grin.

"the mission for THE zim that RESIDES HERE, of course, i mean!"

Day 2 of (attempting) writing blade until he comes home.

Blade x fem! Reader

Two: mention of violence, ooc blade most likely.

Minors/blank/ageless blogs dni

This blog contains/interacts with/created dark content. Dni if you are uncomfortable with that.

Summary: In which blade gets the wrong idea and is currently planning out your brother's funeral.

==

He doesn't like to talk.

His silence is a warning, head cast down as the sunglasses cover his eyes - he's in disguise today, with a black beanie and new set of clothes. The only thing that remains is his hair style, and despite it being so... Unique, people don't notice. Maybe it's because that you're just so used to him that you could easily pick him out in a crowd.

Ironic considering you don't even know his name.

The train ride is bumpy, a little worn out on a planet you were dragged to (Your brother thought it would be a good idea to send you to another planet with a man you barely knew) and the man also seems annoyed at the situation as well. Probably pushed into it by the pretty lady with purple hair, shades used for nothing more than decoration on the top of her head.

The man before you felt more like a bodyguard than an actual travel companion.

Maybe that's why they sent him along with you - to make sure your blind date goes as planned.

"... So, uh, have you been here before?" Your gaze remains where your hands are, fingers messing with the garter strap on your thigh. It snaps against your tights, stinging the flesh underneath. Black was always a lovely color.

"No."

Deep, rumbling through his chest, the romantic in you swoons over his voice. The rational part of you gulps down the unease that comes with him. He's a ticking time bomb, temper hidden underneath a shallow layer of detachment from the world. He enjoys chaos too much to be completed detached.

You haven't been the victim of it yet, but from the way he fist fights your brother on the few occasions they agree to it, it's obvious he enjoys violence too much. Like he's a mad man barely holding on by a thinning thread.

"Ah. I see... I'm sorry for asking, but did uh... Did my brother say anything?"

"About?"

Your foot taps against the floor; how do you ask this? Would it make you seem snobbish? Or nervous or annoying even more so than you already are with him, or -

"The date."

It feels like time stopped. The awkwardness could be felt without even a word addressing it, and now you're glad that he inisited on sitting at the very back row, away from the other passengers.

The longer he stays quiet the more nervous you get.

You take a risk and glance at his face, only to see his brows furrow and lips in a scowl. It doesn't even take a second for your eyes to drop back down to your lap. Your heart is about to burst and you think you might cry if you don't yell, pressure building up in your chest, anxiety making way to your throat. You're sure he won't actually hit you, but the aura surrounding him is still fearful and dark regardless.

"... Date? Is that why you're all dressed up?

If wearing a knee length lavender dress with sheer sleeves is dressing up, you wonder what is idea of formal wear is. It's causal at best, no effort put into it, old heeled boots instead of cute heels, ponytail instead of a complex braid. Everything your brother didn't want.

"Ah, I guess you didn't know..., " your head droops, "but um, yeah. He organized a date for me." You croak out, masking the tremble with a laugh. You might die from stress at this rate.

You can hear him heave out a sigh, the farbic of his pants ruffling as he crosses one leg over the other. He sounds annoyed, almost growling out, even;

"I don't date."

... Did you hear that right?

Your head snaps back up, blinking at the man across from you. He can't think... Does he?

"... Um... The date isn't you. I think they sent you here to keep an eye on me."

The rest of the ride is silent as you realize misunderstandings are bound to happen from here on out if your brother doesn't tell both him and you everything.

"I hope you have enough money for a funeral."

[starvingtongue]

Realising now that I haven't actually touched on Dona's feelings towards Yuna on this blog yet and I feel like I should. I've seen a lot of speculation on it over the years (from reddit posts, youtube comments, tv tropes, etc.) and formed my own headcanons regarding over the past couple months too, and I've always thought I've made a note of it somewhere, but browsing through my headcanon tag for Dona, I realise I haven't. Shame on me.

I would like to preface this by saying that I don't think Dona hates Yuna. Dona can be rude, blunt, and upfront to anyone, regardless of who they are. We see this time and time again throughout both X and X-2, that she doesn't give a damn about who you are, what position of power you hold, she's going to treat everybody the same. We see her not saluting to Nooj in X-2, despite him being the leader of the Youth League, we see her not bowing to Yuna when they first meet, despite it probably being the 'correct' thing to do. Formalities like that are not a thing for her. I kinda wish we saw her interacting with more people, especially those within Yevon a little more, to show this a bit better.

But anyway, while she does not hate Yuna, Dona's feelings (and problem) with Yuna stems from Dona's own insecurity, with a possible hint of jealousy, and a view that Yuna gets afforded opportunities that Dona and other summoners don't. We kind of see this through X itself, but if you consider these things from an outsiders perspective (like Dona), it makes a lot more sense. Things such as:

Yuna being Braska's daughter, the child of someone who has already defeated Sin, and has the status that not too many others have. In Dona's eyes, it's afforded Yuna with certain privilages (good or bad) that not too many others have and could possibly make her pilgrimage a lot easier.

She has 6 guardians by the time she defeats Sin (which Dona deems as overly excessive regardless of her own feelings towards Yuna), one of which is Auron. Auron being legendary guardian to Braska, brings more status, privilage, and knowledge to the pilgrimage, which others may not otherwise benefit from.

Yuna is sought out, befriended, and accompanied by Seymour, a Maester of Yevon, which brings certain perks (like getting past the checkpoint at the start of Mushroom Rock, for example), that again, not everyone else is going to benefit from.

All of this combined, and from an outsiders perspective such as Dona's, makes it seem like Yuna's pilgrimage pretty comfortable and somewhat more high status (I don't want to say privilaged again, but I think this is one of the terms I've heard thrown around before when talking about Dona's feelings towards Yuna) than the average pilgrimage is. Dona obviously not right in being this insecure and jealous over the opportunities that Yuna gets afforded, many of which Yuna doesn't get a choice about (and Dona would have no way of knowing about this either), since both are gong on a march to their own deaths, but after seeing Yuna get handed all of these opportunities and been put on such a high pedestal, it's hard not to feel some type of way towards her. Dona sees her as competition, a pretty serious one at that, but not necessarily because of her strength as a summoner, but because Yuna has more opportunities afforded to her that could make her pilgrimage easier than most.

You would think, however, that once Yuna defeats Sin and has that success under her belt, Dona would act out even more towards her, the great High Summoner who lived, but no. While it's not immediately obivous in X-2, I think Dona chills out quite a bit towards Yuna after Sin's gone. She not longer sees Yuna as a rival, as a competitior, to kill Sin. She's chilled out a bit, she can find herself as a person, spend the rest of her days in Kilika with Barthello, and not have to worry about who defeats the giant whale of death first. Her jealously, her insecurity, her feelings of low self worth towards a 17 year old who has a successful former guardian in tow and a Maester interested in her, have mostly disappeared.

I do find it very sad that we never got to see her interact with Isaaru as a comparison. She would 100% still be her bitchy self, but Isaaru's just 'normal' summoner competition compared to Yuna, there's no reason for Dona to be as insecure towards Isaaru as she is towards Yuna.

This type of insecurity is something that a lot of people go through, regardless of if they want to or not, and Dona suffers from it just as much as anyone else would. Does it make it right that she lashes out at Yuna the way she does? Of course not! Dona does a really poor job of hiding this jealousy and insecurity towards Yuna throughout their entire respective pilgrimage. However, it does add another layer of characterisation to Dona that I think a lot of people glance over when they first meet her.

SCARING THE HOES (2023) - JPEGMAFIA, Danny Brown // ALBUM REVIEW

| April 2nd, 2023 |

This is my first album review on this blog! Actually, it's my first blog post on Tumblr in general. I am so excited to kick off my Tumblr page once-and-for-all and have this privilege today to write about albums, movies, songs, and any kind of piece of media I can consume in this nightmare that is consumerism and capitalism I'm experiencing in this current lifetime /hj. I will do a more formal introduction to myself as I want to start posting more on here; should be mostly funny stuff and reviews of media I like, and some stuff I don't like, as it should all be watched and considered in this human experience, I believe.

Well, today, April 2nd, 2023, I listened to SCARING THE HOES by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown in full. I began in the afternoon and finished in the evening, stopping only once for about a half an hour to speak with my friend, not that I wanted to stop listening, which I really didn't. But I will still consider this full-listen-through today a complete, unstopped listen, as the chaos of talking to my friend perfectly paired with the ambience of the overall vibe of the album.

I haven't had the chance to listen to a Peggy or Danny project in full yet, but I have been meaning to listen to both Veteran (2018) by JPEGMAFIA, and Atrocity Exhibition (2018) by Danny Brown for a few years now, and intend to in the somewhat near future. Though, I have listened to both of their music quite a bit before. I have 16 songs liked by JPEGMAFIA and 4 songs liked by Danny Brown on Spotify, though I absolutely love Danny's song Ain't It Funny, and it might be one of my favorite pieces of music of all time. I want to get more into Danny Brown as I've seen videos of him being funny through some clips on TikTok a while back, and I think I followed him on there. I love each of their extremely unique and obscure rap styles and I admire both of their themes of Black liberation and intense lyricism, along with their respective humors. I will definitely continue to explore both of their music, especially after listening to this beautiful project that is SCARING THE HOES (2023).

I really did like this project. I absolutely admire the fearlessness of their intense basses and synths, and loud random noises that are exhibited throughout each song. Every track is so unique and has samples that I couldn't possibly recognize, but can almost put my finger on, like liminal spaces. Both of their songs in general have the tendency to give me a feeling that is like viewing a picture of a liminal space, leaving uneasiness and fear, when there is actually nothing to fear in reality. Especially Ain't It Funny and Lost by Danny Brown (both sons from Atrocity Exhibition, 2018) give a vague feeling of anxiety and malaise, along with being absolute bangers. JPEGMAFIA has an abundance of scary songs too, some I can currently name being Baby I'm Bleeding, Rainbow Six, and Real Nega (which I'm genuinely not sure if I can or should type as a white person) (all songs from Veteran, 2018). In those three tracks, JPEGMAFIA might honestly be more notably "better" at making the listener (or maybe just me) feel a sort of fear out of his samples and melodies, whilst also just rapping straight fire. Danny Brown is, however, also extremely talented at making strange samples and melodies into purely chopped-up masterpieces. They both consistently use loud themes and startling, unexpected sounds in their music, giving me, the listener perhaps a sense of disquietude, when really there is nothing to actually fear, whilst also expressing hard-hitting themes of race and societal problems, and comparatively comedic lyricism, with references to pop culture throughout.

With this particular first full-listen to this project today, I did not really get the chance to look through all the lyrics. I do think I am going to revisit this project in the future, and will absolutely thoroughly look through both Peggy and Danny's genius verses. So, my focus for this blog post will not be their lyrics, as I would be ignorant to talk about that at all in this point in time. I will, however, talk about the beats, melodies, and rhythms that I had the honor to experience today through this project.

The entire album is full of loud and extreme melodies, choppy samples, and an overwhelming sense of chaos and pandemonium. This, however, is not necessarily an unpleasant feeling, as though each song can be quite overwhelming, they are generally quite pleasureful to listen to, in my opinion. I would definitely not suggest listening to this project while trying to sleep or do something rather peacefully, but rather while you're feeling maybe angry, determined, or confident.

I did overall enjoy listening to SCARING THE HOES. I love the comedy in the song titles and seeing their ironic takes on the current state of the world and society. Each track's title unquestionably makes me want to look more into the individual verses by both Peggy and Danny, as they are both geniuses in each of their own personal, and beautiful ways.

To revisit the general theme of uneasiness and discomfort throughout the whole album that is SCARING THE HOES, I want to touch on how they both have the admirable ability to make us feel as if we are living in a liminal space; as if we are in a situation where we are not able to escape the chaos and terror, and uncertainty of what will happen next. This project made me grateful to be alone in my room on a Sunday afternoon with nothing to do and no immediate outside obligations. To say I wanted to stop listening would be untrue, but I did have the urge to pause it or give myself a break throughout each track, as their refrains easily overwhelmed my senses. Nonetheless, being able to do this as a musical artist is, for a lack of a better word, very impressive.

I would not recommend listening to this album if you do not like experimental music, alternative rap/hiphop, or hyperpop. If you like calm, relaxing music, stay far, far away from JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown, as they are not at all what you would enjoy, especially if you don't like controversial themes in musical lyrics. If you do, however, like chaotic music, loud synths and intense basses, along with crazy resonance, and basically the kind of music to make your roommate ask you to "turn that down", this record is undoubtedly for you. This particular project heavily reminded me of Earl Sweatshirt, specifically his album Some Rap Songs (2018). In my opinion, perhaps some audiophiles of Vince Staples, BROCKHAMPTON, ODD FUTURE, MF DOOM, Death Grips, slowthai, 100 gecs, Ecco2k, redviel, and quinn would enjoy giving this album a try.

To conclude my first (but hopefully not last) album review on this blog page, before giving my final rating, I want to make clear that I only listened to this album in full two and-a-half times, once while just laying in bed mindlessly on my phone, and again completely whilst writing this review, and again now; as I write this, starting on Track 2/ Steppa Pig. I will absolutely in the future revisit the lyrics more intently, as I find both of them as individuals very interesting, and each of their perspectives on life vastly though-provoking.

My personal rating for SCARING THE HOES (2023) by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown, as of April 2nd, 2023, is a High 7. The two tracks I enjoyed the most, and currently have liked on Spotify from the album are: Track 4/ Garbage Pale Kids, and Track 9/ Kingdom Hearts Key (feat. reviel). I love the sheer aggressiveness shown in each track, and comedic lyricism, that I intend to revisit more thoroughly at a later date. It did, however, give me an overall feeling of restlessness and agitation, often to the utter overload to my eardrums. I will say I did enjoy it rather than not-enjoy it though, and do want to listen to this record again in the later future.

If you've read this whole thing, thank you so, so much!! I love all kinds of media and literally anything I can possibly consume, unfortunately, so I will definitely try to post a lot more on this Tumblr account, and do a proper introduction post soon. Seriously, if you did read from the top to here, thank you so, so, so much for making it all the way through this. I love you!!!

Intro post: Collective Scribblings

So, we're not shameless enough to be horny on main but we are shameless enough to make a blog for it!

We're a plural collective who wanted a space to talk about kinky shit. So we made one. We'll be using titles as sign-offs here instead of names for the sake of anonymity. We're bodily 21 and collectively that age or above. Body is transmasc, and don't bother with our blog if you don't like men. Most of us are nonhuman in some way, so keep in mind that you might see some alterhuman/nonhuman stuff here as well. At the very least, you'll see how it can sometime interact with our kinks. Mod intros might be added as needed.

If the idea of insys sex makes you uncomfortable you won't like it here btw. We might mention that here. Just in case this blog ends up with any actual followers and asks: specify who it's to please, and if it's not to someone in particular specify that. Also, we have no idea how to tag our posts, so feel free to point out any untagged stuff or give us tags to look into.

The Witch: Our local dom. She/her pronouns for the time being, but she is NOT a woman. Fem and masc terms but boundaries may change. Likes the idea of luring people with her sweet demeanor, and then just going feral in bed. idk if that's a fantasy or a kink but whatever.

Titles: Mistress, Master, Witch, Alpha. (Note: "Alpha" in the ABO sense. Not in the toxic masculinity bullshit sense.) Open to suggestions.

The Imposter: The one typing this post. He/him + probably neos because I think it's funny that people hate them so much. I don't know that much about my own preferences yet but I'm probably a bratty as fuck sub-leaning switch. Like sure I'd have fun wrecking someone but I also would be absolutely thrilled to have that turned on me lol. Also yes I'm making an amogus joke with my title. I think I am fucking hilarious for the record.

Titles: idfk lol I'll figure it out later. Open to suggestions.

The Wolf: Dom-leaning switch. He/him. I barely fucking remember what he's into lol. Generally the most masc dude here, probably into petplay both as a dom and sub. Local furry and we all bully (/J) him for it. I think into hypno as a sub. Primal play?? I'm not sure what counts.

Titles: Alpha, (insert affectionate descriptor here) wolf, open to suggestions.

The God: Sub-leaning switch. He/him/comfortable with "she" if ur being silly. Generally just the most sexual of all of us I think. Likes playing into the god thing (reference to his source, "The God" is very literal) as a dom. idfk remember what he likes uniquely from us as a sub and I've been writing this post for too fucking long so he'll finish this.

Titles: Open to suggestions.

The Dragon: Tbh he's not likely to post here but I hope he will it'd be good for him. Takes a human form even in headspace. He/him preference, but any pronouns are okay unless that changes. Vaguely ABO flavored in kinks. I'm putting him on here explicitly because 1. I think he'd do well to loosen up some and 2. I want to see horny as fuck posts written in his formal-ass style. I think it'd be funny. And now if he posts he absolutely has to change this for a better intro >:3

The Cryptid: He/him but likely to play around with pronouns. Wrote my own intro later, I'm surprised no one clocked that I'd be interested. Useless sub with no plans to change, nonhuman and horny about it. Vaguely into petplay and things of similar flavor, I don't remember my own kinks rip. No titles.

General collective likes/things you'll see: Collars, praise, degradation (only gentle and condescending, best paired with praise,) hypno, vague BD/SM themes, various ownership dynamics, intox concepts. Depending on who, both forcefem and forcemasc seem cool we just haven't explored that much. Will update as needed since this isn't an extensive list by any means. Just shoot us an ask if you see smth we should tag.

General collective dislikes (if you're into these you can interact, we're just not into them and won't be posting or interacting with posts about it): CNC, ageplay, inc3st play, watersports/scat, really harsh degredation, raceplay, feet, detrans, mommy/daddy. Will update as needed.

DNI: We don't put a DNI beyond the obvious "minors DNI" and typical "terfs/MAPS/p@do/racist/just don't be a dick" because we don't think it's useful. We'll curate our experience. We do, however, have boundaries. If you have anything against endo systems, or any systems for that matter, fuck all the way off <3 okay. This is a horny blog we're not here to listen to people debate syscourse shit. We're here to talk kink. Also, antiship people can interact but know that due to having fictives in our collective we have very strong opinions about this and we've been told they count as proship to some people. So just. Be aware. And be fucking normal about fictives by the way. We won't be telling you our source.

Hey, Storm! Hope you're doing well! How do different BTS members act towards older or younger members? Which roles do they wear more comfortably? Which are more likely to be less formal and with whom? I'm really fascinated by their age hierarchy, and would love to hear your thoughts! 💜

Hi! I'm not sure if you are following me or not, but I think I could answer this better if we break it down into specifics. Like if you were to ask about one duo in particualr and how they handle their relationship boundaries etc, in my opinions of course.

I talk a lot about their friendships together in my Duo Dynamics posts if you haven't seen those yet. I have a group dynamics post there as well as all of Jimin and JKs ships done and a few others too.

I think in general, Jin is very good at putting them all at ease as well as not minding a drop in formalities very often from all of his dongsaengs. He isn't very strict about the age hierarchy and is super good at making the people around him feel comfortable. They mention is often about how wonderful Jin is as their eldest hyung and how he isn't strict with them. But how quick he is to adopt that "don't worry, lean on me l" hyung role when they need him too.

Jimin seems to find comfort in the formalities though too. He will drop them with his hyungs when he wants or they want or they are all teasing. But he is also one of the first to remind the others that Jin is the eldest and to speak respectful to him to at times too. Or will adopt that hyung role proudly with Taekook, introducing that formality as a way to take care of them at times, even with Tae. Which I talk about in this post here:

They've all been clear that they don't mind the informalily between them at this point too at times, even with their maknae. Which I talk about in this post below, JK dropping honorifics with all his hyungs. But I also think it's clear that his comfort level in dropping honorifics is HIGHEST with Jimin, and he does it the most after that with Tae and Jin in a teasing manner, indicating his comfort level at knowing it won't be considered disrespectful between those pairs as well.

Namjoon on the other hand seems to be one of the most eager to "be allowed" to drop honorifics at times with his hyungs while also being one of the quickest (along with Jimin who does the same) to slip into that dongsaeng role further than the others and call on his older members by the even more respectful term "hyung-nim" when he needs or wants something. Namjoon balances an interesting edge with being younger than half the group while also being their leader and in that respected position. I think that the comfort level all of BTS have together impacts how easily he can and will switch between those roles and how they all hang out together at times. You can tell how that progressed as well like when you look at Festa 2014 (I think) and Hobi mentions that sometimes (not often Though) that he doesn't know how to talk to RM because he is sees himself as Joons hyung, but Joon is also their leader while also technically being same age friends too. And it can be an awkward balancing act. It's clearly not something they find awkward anymore. A thread of Joon saying "hyungnim" because 🥺

YoonJin are also very clearly comfortable being the eldest hyungs too. It's cute how we sometimes see Jin being willing to let that go with the younger members though. And it's cute seeing Yoongi fully embrace being the dongsaeng to Jin too since he is so firmly planted in and comfortable as the hyung with the rest of BTS, even if he is okay with them being informal with him too. Yoongi and Jin both love being their hyungs. While Taekook are very comfortable being the maknaes who get scolded together too. Lol just being the incredibly goofy youngests who often get babied by the others.

The only time I see a break in that norm on a consistent basis for JK, is with Jimin. He loves being babied by Jimin along with his other hyungs. But he also wants to Baby Jimin right back unlike his other hyungs and he seeks that equal ground with Jimin, not as hyung and dongsaeng often, but just equal footing. Which is very unusual dynamics and very consistent for them. JK often doesn't seek out to "be the hyung or totally throw out hierarchy" as consistently with anyone else. Nor does Jimin seem to consistently allow that drop in hierarchy between him and anyone else as consistently. Minus, Tae, who is his Chingu. But even there, he occasionally adds that hierarchy dynamics to get to be Tae's hyung too.

Again, I highly recommend reading my Duo Dynamics post for stuff like this if you haven't yet and if you are wanting more about different members. Like Jins behavior broken down with how he treats his dongsaengs differently, etc. Feel free to send another ask 🥰 but again, read these other posts first and make sure it's not already there! Lol thanks for the ask! I love how close and loving all 7 are together. It's amazing
