#i just had a lot of thoughts about them

[lawshearttattos]

kryk thoughts

kryk having a friends with benefits to lovers thing post time skip

it starts because Yaku is staying at Kuroo's apartment

and kuroo is stressed, he's working nonstop and hasn't been on a date in months

there's always been tension between them, so fuck it, right? what can go wrong

They think it would be okay bc they're not the type to fall in love easily and Yaku is only visiting for a few months before going back to Russia

and its so gooood, there's banter and teasing and there's no pressure bc it's them, and sure they get on each other's nerves but there's mutual respect and they know each other so well

Yaku remembers neck kisses drive Kuroo insane bc he mentioned it once (1) in college. Kuroo knows Yaku looves being praised lmao

Yaku: how tf you know that?

Kuroo: i just know you pretty damn well Yakkun

and he does!! He knows Yaku in a way no one else does

so at some point the lines get blurry right? because hanging out normally like friends starts to look a lot like dating

they go shopping and buy suits together lmao (they keep calling each other "hot" but they think it's in a platonic way (its not) )

and they think no one knows about them but Kenma saw them kissing once, sighed and just said "i don't want to know"

Kai knows. He just knows.

Kai: oh, is that Kuroo's shirt? :)

Yaku: why tf would i wear his shirt? he never washes them (he's wearing Kuroo's shirt)

suddenly, sleeping together becomes more. it turns into cuddles, and forehead kisses and sharing a bed (Yaku can't remember the last time he slept in the guest room)

Yaku tells Kuroo about all those nights in Russia when he just wanted to take a flight home, back to Japan, back to his childhood bed, back to nekoma, back to Kuroo.

and it's so rare for someone like Yaku to open up like that, but it's easy because it's Kuroo, and he trusts him.

And Kuroo tells him about his parents, about his mother leaving

and the sex it's different too. it's intimate, blushed cheeks, soft smiles and looking at each other's eyes.

but they're dumb

like so fucking dumb.

it takes a while for them to admit their feelings

and it happens because Kuroo wakes up to fresh coffee, scramble eggs and Yaku wearing one of his shirts, and it's too easy to forget theyre not dating

and he gets so lost in a lazy kiss, he gets so lost in the way Yaku holds him, how he pulls him closer, he gets so lost in Yaku that he forgets he has a very important meeting

He only realizes he's late because his phone keeps ringing.

and he leaves with a small peck and a quick "shit i'm late, goodbye Yakkun, i love you"

and he leaves so quickly that he doesn't see the shock on Yaku's face

it's only after the meeting is over that it hits him

oh, oh.

he is in love with Yaku Morisuke.

and the worst part? Yaku is leaving soon.

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

This happened, it just wasn't relevant to the plot

I like to think breaking the canary curse via dying in the void had some effects on Lizzie

Do you think Perry ever mixes up being mindless and sentient?

[cheesenchalk]

i never know how to phrase it but something about the way beatles biographers and people in general view paul's reflexive placating persona and determination to smooth things over as manipulative or duplicitous and john's reflexive barbed persona and habit of lashing out as brave and subversive despite both being equally defensive mechanisms to shield themselves from the world that resulted in them saying things that weren't true says more about how we culturally view kindness or friendliness as inherently untrustworthy or flimsy and anger and carelessness as more believable as someone's true nature than it says about either of them in actuality

Anyway shout out to Dewey who constantly looked like he was having the worst time of his fucking life in the pitches

Just an 11 year old pissed off at the world it seems😭

@/miseraou on twitter drew eva as muu, which i thought was absolutely brilliant. naturally, i had to then sketch my own take on a p:eg milgram au lmao

[everchased]

at least it'll be wonderful while it lasts.

(a little post-game downtime discussion, when they have the time and space to talk about these things. also in my canon, scratch gets to stay. :/)

[egophiliac]

hiii im sure you’ve answered this before but in regards to your twst x Pokémon, how do you choose which Pokémon go give to the cast?? really curious since your choices are unique :O

unique in a good way, I hope? 😅 (jk jk I haven't come across too many pokemon AUs, so I was going in without preconceptions, I guess!) I was sorta aiming somewhere between doing, like, a full AU with internal consistency and everything, and just picking entirely based on theme/character, so maybe that's why! basically I just set some arbitrary rules (no legendaries/no repeats/evo stages based on year) and then went on ~vibes~. a couple were also suggestions (thank you guys!) and last-minute decisions, so it was a bit of a delightful mess of ideas!

my one regret is that I should have given Riddle a Togedemaru after all. ...you know what, he can have one now, why not

So.

Act 5, huh?

Oh, and that.

"You can start breakdown now."

Finished the game couple of days ago and had some thoughts I needed to process a little. Like. Yes.

So anyway I actually didn't plan this and just wanted to redraw some sprites to just make sure I understand how to draw Siffrin correctly (still working on that!)

What did I learn from this? How fun it it to draw on a canvas that literally doesn't let you draw with colors without some layer cheating when necessary. Never tried it.

The beans. Sleeping beans.

Basically what happens when you want to sleep AND draw. Draw characters sleeping on your behalf.

Doesn't help, but at least it's cute.

I have no idea what was going on in my mind as I drew this. Feels like a fever dream of 'I want to sleep' at 4 am and 'Hm...' of thinking random things

Also that phone craft sign. Still too funny to imagine. I had to.

oh hey! i was reading a fic the other day where Wangji was once misspelled as Wangu. which leads me to: MDZS Pingu-style??? noot noot!

Do you think love can bloom on the sea ice?

[k1tty5]
