what do u think of dirk n hals Gender Situation given 10 or 20 years? if they ever finally settle down their various identity issues etc

......... great question..

dirk's masculine gender identity is fucking fascinating and there's always something new to consider when i look at it at a different angle. and i mean this also goes for bro too. like gender is a very complex thing in homestuck with many metaphors physical or thematical littered about. Dirk specific gender identifiers are lil cal (empty), being seen as cherry red (either failing at those standards or admired for achieving them), and bro-ism which in this instance is often interchanged with heroism.

canonically in caliborn's masterpiece, after dirk seals caliborn away into cal, and lets cal and arq go, homie has straight up lost all the signifiers he's identified with and is left in his pink god tier outfit. literally forced to reckon with the fact that he is a gay man, and how that actually may be way better than the alternative that he was trying so desperately to be seen as. idk there was a series of posts i made about it a month or so ago. this is like, the final realization dirk has in the comic. i mean i dunno about specifics of labels, but gay and genderqueer is like the basic all encompassing ones. to be honest most homestuck characters fall under this extremely broad category, as queerness is a huge underlying theme.

a dirk that doesn't immediately go through caliborn's masterpiece learns this the loooong way. cis guy-> trans guy (refuses to acknowledge this during the session but slowly gets it towards the end of 3 year voyage. will NOT say he is trans through his lips though.) and then shit just stagnates there. i think it depends on his environment, but 5+ years (depends on who he surrounds himself with. if its no one, he is COOKED.) is about the time needed to have those same revelations.

and then there's hal........ arq is one of them brightly colored gendersonas. like what swimz said, arq sacrificed her continued existence for her friends. i dont think arquius ever gave her gender a name because of how thoroughly she embodied it by her self love/ the joy she felt for being alive. it was already said by her existing. hal getting a body vs hal getting a body after being arquius r people who understand vastly different amounts of things about themselves.

a hal sans arq brain meld has a silent kind of depressive acceptance about them. yeah i got a body, things feel better, but it feels like there could be more i could be doing for myself right now, however do i really need it? umm sandpaper floor room esque. trying to figure out what to do with herself after getting less than the bare minimum of being a person. would take a bit to realize she can be a girl.

hal post arq brain meld. holy FUCKING shit i can feel like that?? suddenly no longer arquius's confident persona and is kind of freaking out about the various implications. there would be an amount of time where she falls into a depression, however tries to bring herself up back to that point because a part of her who was arquius knows she deserves it. she would over think the gender thing though, ok yes im a girl, BUUUTTT -etc etc-. almost for the same exact reasons why dirk is attached to those bro-isms. she was supposed to. red girl struggle. again, idk the specifics, gay and genderqueer is hella broad.

i do think hal is fem aligned and more confidently can call herself a girl over time, and dirk can finally wear pink without thinking about it and wanting to decapitate himself.

Inside Job Pt2Ep3 Myc Analysis Pt2

FIRST PART HERE

IM GETTING RIGHT INTO IT!

OK SO!! ASSIMILATED MYC HUH?! First of all, the color palette change..... i like it in what it represents, its a good way to depic that he's different without having to keep that like, blue aura aura around him. HOWEVER, it makes me feel weird because THIS ISN'T MY MYC!!!

Also his voice...... not.... not for me. BUT I LOVE THE warbling echoey quality they gave him right when attuned. A lot of this is gonna be me PRAISING what the writers did, but me being pupsetti cause thats not my babygirl

AHHHH Brett's face here is so cute, hes so excited to be included in girls night!!!! Also! I feel like at this point the Hive isn't tapped into anyone but Myc so... does Myc genuinely watch Sex and the City? I think so.

MYC'S TOWNHOUSE! UOGHHHHHH OKAY SO FOR REALS!!! Does he have one? I GUESS SO? Is this what it looks like?? I DONT KNOW! Could the hive be making something up? Maybe?? But like, how would the hive know what to make up if they have been in the hollow earth for centuries, they have to tap into Myc. SO, is this REALLY what Myc's townhouse looks like? Or is this what he want's his friends to believe it is?? Because all of this is a hallucination so?? Like they cater to Brett and Gigi with the rock wall and bookshelf, so would he cater it to look like something he wants? THEN AGAIN! We saw Myc's little nook in his office in the beginning of the episode and that was classy as fuck with his little couch and the record player, so who's to say if this is mostly a REAL depiction of his brownstone. I will say though, it's fucking hot as hell and I think it IS at least the floorplan, like i think the floorplan is the same, whether or not its decorated like this? HHHHHHHHHH I dunno?? BUT I LOVE IT EITHER WAY BECAUSE I LOVE HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

MYC APRON MYC APRON MYC PINK APRON THE PINK APRON ITS AN APRON AND ITS PINK AND HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"... mainly because all of my orifices are interchangeable" .... what... what WHAT WHAT??? Baby ..... WHAT DO YOU MEAN????? YOU HAVE HOLES???? YOU HAVE... HFHSEOUGHG;HJSD;LEG OHHHHHHH LORDLY LORDY LORD THE WRITERS HAVE GIVEN ME SO MUCH MORE THAN I COULD EVER ASK FOR HUIGREHJOSGJ'SG

I genuinely think this mural is so.... SO beautiful, if I could have it as a poster or a tapestry i fucking would. I also wanna know what the writing system is like.... UGH ITS SO PRETTY

ANYWAY I THINK its so so funny that they totally retconned the whole thing about the mushrooms being aliens, like at first Myc would get so mad and say they weren't but then now they are?? lmao and the whole lore they made of early apes eating mushrooms and then evolving? FUCKING GREAT

I just like myc's house.... look at his fancy kitchen ... AND IS THAT A FIREPLACEEEEEEEEEEEE uoghhhh

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ANDRE MISSES THE OLD MYC, AND YES! HE DID ROAST OUT OF LOVE!!!! ANDRE KNOWS CAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE LOVES ALL OF THEM!! AND NO ONE DENIES IT!!!! HE LOVES THEMMMMMMMM (yes sure next glenn says out of hate but listen-)

Also!! I reallu like these weird globby mushroom cave wall things, theyre soooo cool

"Who wants some fucking dirt to eat? I'm still being nice, I like dirt!" BABY GHUIDSRHNS;G HES STILL A LITTLE BITCHY?????? HUAOGHH Baby i will eat dirt for you, i will eat it and like it

OKAY HERE IS SOMTHING I HAVE CONFLICTING THOUGHTS ON!!! THE poetry night thing. I saw another post (here) about the gang actually being there and Myc not sensing them, and i like that take, but ALSO I like the idea of them genuinely not going because they don't like him and dont think his poetry would be good, and Reagan is just talking out her ass about it? Like, I can see both ways being real good, IDK!!!

And then the thing specifically ANDRE said.... the jacking off in the break room over the pic on a box of mushroom calzones.... baby, honey.... that is somehow both so pathetic and so hot i don't know what to do with myself other than save this information for later

This image.... HURTS THE ANISE he genuinely looks SO upset, sad, distraught, deflated, this is THE SINGLE MOST upsetting image of Myc IMO, because its HIM in there that's being tormented and the hive is trying to fight it, but Myc is just.... he's actually SO sensitive and he cant handle a roast WITHOUT HIS DEFENSE MECHANISM OF HIS PERSONALITY THAT THE HIVE TOOK AWAY FROM HIM!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LOOK AT HIM!!!! HE IS SO!!!!!! UAGHFEFFS HES IN PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT ALSO!!! You can see with the blue glow that the hive is trying to regain control of the situation and he's glowing blue

Mmmmmm yeah, Myc was right to get really mad for this, Brett went too far, and I think thats why he said it, to break him... I just think it's so interesting they went with a roast to get Myc back because it seems like roasts are like .... a bygone era? Like i bet if youre watching this show in your mid-late 20s you can remember when roasts were like, on tv all the time, but now you dont really see the concept all that much?? Idk i think it's interesting I guess. Anyway comparing Myc to Jar Jar Binks is a hate crime and im gonna beat up brett for it <3

oh my GOD look how curled in and angy he is.... his little fists....

SIDEBAR!!! Eberyone SO HAPPY that he's back, like all of them so fucking.,... LIKE I SPECFICALLY want to talk about GLENN of all people. Like dont get me wrong, all of them are really pleased, but GLENN? Like.... look at how SOFT his face is?? Like he is so genuinely glad to have this fucker back,,,,,, hgusehkl;s and also andre.... oh dr lee dont make that face ur gonna have me actin up ohhhhhhgggh hes so satisfied

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HANDS ON HIS HIPS!! SO SASSY!!!!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaan, boom goes the dynamite

HE DOESNT HATE THEM HE DOESNT HATE HIS TEAM HE LOVES HIS TEAM HE LOVES THEM SO MUCH THEY ARE HIS FOUND FAMILY THEY DONT BULLY HIM THEY ACCEPT HIM AS HE IS THEY LOVE HOW MUCH OF AN ASSHOLE HE IS, HES THEIR FRIEND, AND HE LOVES THEM AS MUCH AS HE SAYS HE DOESNT HE LOVES HIS TEAM THEY ARE HIS BEST FRIENDS AND AAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM GONNA BE CRYING FOR THE NEXT 5000 YEARS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LIKE LOOK ATT ALL OF THEIR FACES WHEN HE SAYS HE DOESNT HATE THEM!!!!!! LOOK AT GIGI!!!!!! LOOK AT ANDRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM CRYING REAL TEARS AND ITS BECAUSE I LOVE MX MYC CELLIUM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GET BACK AT YOUR HIVE!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE MOST INTERESTING!!!!! THEYRE ALL CHUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO! ANOTHER THING TO NOTE!!!!! When Myc is getting ready to do this whole spore process thing, and use his big powers here, he very slightly switched back to his hive color palette.... but then a moment later we see him in his normal one, so im thinking he is like.... getting all of the hives influence just.... out of him for good? maybe i dunno but i like that

god god god god. okay HERE his voice is SO CALM so!! JUST SO!! He understands that Reagan isn't insulting him, he knows that she really cares..... he makes me MELT ANS THEH NUN THE HEHPFIE:SJFKNK ANDS THEN AND THEN AND THEN IN THE NEXT SCENE IT CONTINUES OKAY

THIS IS HIS HIVE THIS IS HIS HIVE RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIS FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEURE HIS HIVE AND HE CARES BOUT THEM HE LOVES THEM SO MUCH FUREIHTGL; GHRDGR;LGHSDGBKJ;EDGHWSLK; LOOK AT GIGI LOOK HOW HAPPY SHE IS GHRODSGS;GN; AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CANT WITH THIS AUGFHRS;DKGFL;FVS

MMMMMMM YES podcast myc ,,,, love this guy LOVE HIM LOVE HIM SM SMS SMSMMSMSMSMSMSMSMS AWOOOOOOOOOOGA I AM THE NUMBER 1 LISTENER OF FRESH DIRT UAGHHHHHH (i would also like to know if gigi and reagan drunk kiss pls)

AND YALL THOUGHT THIS WAS OVER!!!! SPECIAL BONUS ROUND WHERE I MAKE ONE (1) COMMENT ABOUT THE OTHER THING

pregnant myc.... aright i am gonna give my OWN motherfucking opinions abt this because im TOO SERIOUS about it....

Myc is a mushroom, hes not a man, while he may use he/him pronouns, hes a mushroom first and foremost who canonically uses Mx. instead of Mr. like all of this is canon. He ALSO when finding out he is preggers, he says he wants to be a mother, a MOTHER, he wants to experience the joys of motherhood.... NON BINARY LEGEND! FUCKING mushrooms have NO TIES to human gender, so TEACHINALLY this cant really be considered mpreg, and it ISNT in my eyes, fucking label it mpreg all u fucking want but I DONT FUCKING AGREE OR BUY IT, dont come at me for this ill bully you into the ground

Anyway, my name is Anise and I want to thank everyone for their time for reading my Myc Cellium analysis. This character means more to me than anyone on the internet or even Shion Takeuchi herself can fathom.... and as far as IM concerned, i love him more than ANYONE ever will, whats that post? If Myc has fans, im one of them, if he doesnt, that means im dead, or whatever. I DONT KNOW I JUST KNOW that I love him more than EVERYONE and that is a FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway if you like inside job and like self insert shipping content folow me to see my silly little guy kiss this stupid mushroom and stream inside job on netflix <3

pre relationship 1, 4, 6 for V + love 1, 7, 12 for sam

HI MIKA:D!!! jumps allover the room.

01 — how did they first meet?

my silly younger brother ( <- nick :D ) is rlly into photography.. & i am the awesome supportive older brother that goes to all his events and galleries sooo... personal hc that V visits photo galleries sometimes ( mainly student ones 2 give advice or use his silly little connections in the industry 2 help them progress bcuz he is nice like that . ) && we just...cross paths one day :3 aghhh, he shows up at a few more of the galleries nick happens 2 be in and one day he just comes up 2 me and is like. Hey. Ur sibling is pretty talented actually:) and im like..wow thank u haha, I Know. and then out of nowhere he offers to help my brother get a scholarship 4 visual arts / photography when he's college age and im like girl what. im in love with u I MEAN?! we should kiss. I MEAN ?!? im normal ^_^ woww ure so kind. AND ..idk i turn into one of those guys that uses their younger siblings endearingness into a way 2 get the girl ( or in this case guy💔😭 ) srry thhis is so long, i am fighting the cringe .

04 — who felt romantic feelings first?

me...i am cringefail for pretty boys & V is the prettiest in the world 💔 type of guy to error404 in real life if V even looked at me once i realized 💔💔

06 — if you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

V would just be...confused, lol. mainly since we meet like a year b4 the whole rika thing goes down so he'd just be uncomfortable with the thought of his supposed soulmate being someone other then her.

⠀

i dont actually believe in soulmates...neither me / my self-insert do actually lol. but assuming its soulmate in the least legitimate way possible i probably would not believe it either..like woag .... THAT GUY? r u sure. be serious. out of my league im telling u.... hopeful though

01 — who said “I love you” first?

sam definitely lol... im normally very like... casual with saying i love you with friends and people that like, i Know my relationship with whether it be platonic or otherwise; but with sam it was T_T... it was kind of confusing? cuz for awhile it felt like we were everything all at once and i did not want to get something wrong and accidentally mess up...and then one day we are walking home from the arcade on a perfectly normal & fine autumn day, sam's walking ahead of me it's fine. it's a comfortable silence; and then he just drops the "i think i love you ^_^." out of nowhere and i fucking die on the spot and never breathe again!!!

07 — what are their favorite things to do together?

umm ...mainly just like, Existing? like that comfortable kind of silence u get with friends when ure both in the same room together doing seperate things but not in an awkward way? idk that kind of Existing is the favorite of all favorites T_T. video games r also fun though lol, after introducing samuel to the world of gaming it's like...all he wants to do. he's rlly into the fucking dancing games its awful anytime we hang out together he makes us play DDR or fuckin' just dance and good lorddd he gets a better score then me every time T_T. which is fine!!! it is very fun 2 do 2gether haha

12 — what kind of nicknames do they call each other?

hmm... sam prefers calling others just by their name or shortened versions of it — actually one of like the only people who regularly calls me jackson & varian instead of just 'jack' / 'var'... makes me thing im getting in trouble every time /hj T_T

⠀

i am kind of awkward abt nicknames & petnames n stuff...cuz i dont want to be cringe. but, interchange between calling him snowy as a reference 2 what i called him when we were kids, and 'angel' bcuz...he is an angel but even if he wasnt he looks & acts like one, AMEN 🙏🙏🙏!!

darkicedragon https://www.tumblr.com/mundanemonster/705433351349272576/ ouo muzaka he cant quite reach the weapons from the back azure ohohoh big wolf Muzaka with weapons lodged into his back from all the attacks and he can't reach them and pull the out until Franken comes along maybe Muzaka is v badly wounded, so he can't quite fight him, just growling at him warily "Yes, yes, I know you're grumpy, but I can help you" darkicedragon 'and youre used to being attacked. but thats not what im here for'

azure and maybe he tries to get snappy at Franken bc hooman, and hooman bad but Franken ties his paws and snout to the ground with DS and Muzaka gets angrier and more agitated, but is too weak to escape "I know it's not comfortable, but I can't help you if you bite me." Muzaka trying to shake him off when Franken climbs on top of him to pull out spears and arrows from his back howling in pain when he takes them out, but instantly going 0.0 bc he feels something warm and the pain disappears and the wounds close looking out the corner of his eyes to see the warm glow of Franken's hands darkicedragon frankenstein leaving bc muzaka runs off afterwards frankenstein is atked as he leaves the forest, bc clearly hes involved w the monster, and then muzaka saves him uwu azure u kno the moment in God of War when Kratos and Atreus talk, and Fenrir, despite being a BIG BOY, crawls closer for pets Muzaka doing the same, but trying to hide behind bushes and |-= study Franken bc hooman weird azure "If you want to eat me, I don't think I'll taste that good. And yes, I can see you hiding in the bushes." *grumble grumble bc he is MUCH hidden, okay? u can't see him darkicedragon frankenstein knowing hes following bc well hes loud, but doesnt do anything apart from that azure Muzaka getting a paw injury and knows Franken can help, but he is still wary of him Franken walking through the forest and *sigh there he is, Muzaka hiding in the bushes "What is it now?" and Muzaka just sticks his paw out from the bushes Franken noticing the injury "Oh, you want me to help you?" *pls grumble Franken chuckling and ofc healing him darkicedragon frankenstein glad its just a stick, and not another weapon -- darkicedragon urgh. should i go for the villagers know muzakas name, bc he did introduce himself to them, and then they chased him off bc otherwise frankenstein is just going to be calling him 'the werewolf' for like 2k azure hehe 2k they say you can have Franken call him Wolf but if he's a beast/monster that lived in that forest for some time, the ppl around it would have a name for him but the thing is, it might not be his name cuz I doubt ppl saw a 20m tall wolf and said 'hi' they prolly tried to attack him right away, even if he wasn't threatening darkicedragon i should just have muzaka speak 😂 otherwise it could be interchangeable w an actual wolf darkicedragon thers gotta be a couple monsterfuckers in there 😂 azure and that's prolly what made Muzaka so wary about humans bc humans just attack him on sight azure def speak XD bc otherwise, yeeep, he could just be a doggo maybe he doesn't talk right away bc humans don't listen and they just hurt him more if they hear him talk azure dee, dearest behave XD darkicedragon 😘 azure Franken being a witch, with DS as a parasitic type of demon entity/being when DS became part of him,  it hurt him badly, bc DS wanted to devour him Franken with a fully black arm, where DS resides and on the side, him being both deaf and blind, again damage from DS atempting to consume him and maybe it's something that happened relatively recently, so he's still getting used to it he hasn't quite gotten used to his new spacial awareness darkicedragon oooh azure Muzaka learning this when he spooks Franken or barrels into him bc Franken didn't hear him properly so Muzaka learns he needs to V CAREFULLY approach good hooman maybe paw at him maybe nudge him with nose darkicedragon wuff from a distance azure BORKS MUCH BORK AND SNUFFLE bc big bark scares hoomans so smol BORK should work "Yes, yes, I know you're there, hello."

[spurgie-cousin]

I have just been watching something and realised u have different types of police and jail / prison are different places. I was wondering why ppl said Josh didnt get conjugal visits cos its the feds. Didnt even really know what feds meant 🤦🏽‍♀️. So why is Joshs a fed crime? Could it have been a state crime? Is fed more serious? In the UK its just the police for the whole country (i think 😂). We use the word jail and prison interchangeably but it means the same thing.

"Fed" means "federal" which refers to national law enforcement agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security, not necessarily police. Feds get involved when a crime is very serious and isn't isolated to just one state, as is often the case with CSAM (and was for Josh).

When people are convicted of a federal crime as described above, they are sent to a federal prison which means the prison is operated by the national government and not an individual state. Again these usually hold criminals who have committed very serious crimes that have crossed state borders in one way or another.

In the US 'jail' is generally more of a temporary thing and 'prisons' are for long-term sentences.

The UK does have national law enforcement bodies to my knowledge, although I don't know as much about them

sakuatsu drabble fic ft. genderfluid atsumu

(i used he/she/they pronouns interchangeably for atsumu in this and just he/him for kiyoomi)

1k words - no beta - reblogs appreciated

@chaotic-trash-can ik u wanted to read this so here :) hope u like it bestie

staring at the wall of products kiyoomi racks his brain to remember what atsumu said they needed. all the colors are starting to blur together due to him staring at them intensely for the past few minutes. letting out a sigh he grabs his phone from his back pocket and pulls up atsumu’s contact. typing out a quick ‘what one did u want again?’ and pressing send, kiyoomi goes back to looking at the wall, trying to see if he can remember the makeup his partner wants.

tapping his phone against his mask, kiyoomi glances sidelong at the cashier who was looking at him curiously, probably wondering why this man had been standing in the same place for the last ten minutes. he turns away hoping she won’t recognize him just as his phone buzzes with a notification.

‘atsumu🧡: the light purple one of the brand i have at home’

sending back an thumbs up before looking up at the self again, kiyoomi finds the eyeshadow this time.

walking up to the register he sees a bottle of a filtered water brand he likes, so he grabs it. then he sees a candy bar astumu likes, and hoping to see her smile, he grabs that too.

setting his items on the counter he glaces at the magazines to see if the tabloids have started harassing someone he knows again.

the face of his partner smiles at him from the magazine closest to him. kiyoomi’s heart skips a beat before he reads the headline and let’s out sigh of relief.

‘STAR VOLLEYBALL PLAYER ATSUMU MIYA COMES OUT AS GENDERFLUID IN INSTAGRAM MAKEUP TUTORIAL; fans outpouring support almost matching gigantic support from brother osamu miya and volleyball teammates!’

he’s about to turn away before his own name pops out at him from the bottom corner of the page.

‘KIYOOMI SAKUSA SPOTTED LEAVING LUNCH MEETUP WITH THE MIYA SIBLINGS; possible romantic meetup with partner and in-law? but which miya is he dating?’

grumbling about how the new editor of volleyball now is too much of a gossip, koyomi turns back to the cashier to hear her talking to him.

“-getting some makeup for your girlfriend? that’s really sweet...”

she trails off and kiyoomi can see the moment the girl recognizes him. her eyes flick to the magazine then back to him, she makes an ‘o’ with her mouth, her hands that were previously scanning his items stop moving, and then her eyes go wide and face flushes.

“i’m so sorry, oh my gosh. please forgive my rudeness.” she bows low, practically laying across the counter between them.

kiyoomi doesn’t know how to respond to her so he gives a curt nod with a small hum and hopes she understands.

she finishes checking out his things with shaking hands and fumbles with the bag, before shoving it at him. she mutters another apology and a ‘thank you for you patronage, please come again’ and then kiyoomi is out the door.

he walks to his car and quickly looks around to make sure no one has seen him before getting in. once he’s in the car he practically melts into the seat with a sigh. reaching for the hand sanitizer he drops the bag into the seat next to him.

once his hands are clean to his satisfaction, kiyoomi is starting the car and pealing out of the parking lot, making his way to atsumu’s apartment.

~ ~ ~

“the media is saying what about you?” atsumu asks as he leans forward, looking at kiyoomi through the mirror she was previously using to apply the purple eyeshadow.

“that because i went to lunch with you and osamu i’m apparently married to one of you and the other is my in-law. the media just needs to decide who.” kiyoomi says as he watches atsumu go back to his makeup.

“well they’re not wrong that your with one of us, i wonder which one they think it is though?” they say with a laugh.

“i can see what the internet thinks right now,” he says before pulling his phone from his pocket.

kiyoomi types away as atsumu puts the final touches to her makeup. atsumu sees kiyoomi’s eyebrows shoot up and turns around in their chair to see what’s the matter. he opens his mouth to ask what’s wrong but before she can say anything kiyoomi shoves his phone into atsumu’s face with an odd expression.

an artist’s rendition of her brother and her boyfriend making out appears before his eyes. the title of the article hangs above the picture in bold; ‘10 REASONS KIYOOMI SAKUSA IS DATING OSAMU MIYA AND 2 REASONS HE’S DATING ATSUMU MIYA; we asked our fans who they think it is and the answer is at the end of the article!’

atsumu snatches the phone and furiously scrolls to the end to find the fan poll on who they think kiyoomi is dating. the numbers for their brother heavily outweigh the numbers for themself. atsumu looks back up to kiyoomi to see his reaction, and with a start realizes the weird expression on his face was actually kiyoomi trying to hold back a laugh.

“oh you little shit, you think this is funny!”

“...a bit,”

“that’s it, i can’t stand the idea of people thinking you do things- things like this-“ atsumu gestured to the drawing. “with my brother!”

kiyoomi let out a snort, then looked away hurriedly when atsumu glared at him.

“i seem to remember a certain someone saying he was- and i quote- “moved and inspired” by my coming out before bed the other night. well how about you make your own coming out video- preferably with who you’re dating too. hmm, how does that sound?” atsumu asked, a drop of venom finding its way into his voice. atsumu moves to sit at the bench in front of the light they have set up for filming and photography.

“i remember saying no such thing.” kiyoomi says, but sits down on the bench next to his partner, with a smile nonetheless.

Johnny NS*W Alphabet

Gonna put this under the cut cause I know some of yall wanna get to some other writings or something + these can get super long with all the gaps

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Small types of aftercare right after but the morning expect breakfast and a shower/bath as well as a few hours to just relax before he goes off to work. Loves loves loves playing with your hair after, cup his cheek and run your thumb over his cheek bone to soothe him to sleep please

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Likes his hair, I know it doesn’t count as a body part but pull his hair or pull at or run your fingers through it legit just do something to it he wants it and he needs it. On you he loves your hips and the top of your thighs, is the type to wrap his arms under your thighs and grip the sides or tops when he is going down on you in order to keep you still

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Honestly doesn’t care and follows the moment, some nights are for sure condom nights and others he does it inside you. Just feels it out and takes in the situation. If it is a quick thing then expect him not to cum inside you but I really only see him to cum inside on occasion where it is more love making than fucking ya know?

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Once watched a porn with Jaehyun and they ended up getting off in the same room “bro don’t look at my dick!” “bro I’m not I swear” “dude this is weird” “just stop fucking talking damn” (any of which are quotes interchangeable between the two)

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

I see him having for sure one previous partner but no more than three. Isn’t one for one night stands either but has had one friends with benefits but it ended because it just got super awkward after a few booty calls

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Likes having you on your back while pushing the back of your thighs so you’re basically bent in half lol, loves the view of being able to perfectly see himself going in and out of you

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Never really has goofy sex and is more on the serious side but sometimes one of you will see the other make a weird face or something and you’ll end up laughing but then right after be moaning again because he keeps pounding into you

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Pretty wild, I don’t see it being super long but like I honestly don’t think he trims or shaves it. If it makes you uncomfortable though just tell him and he’ll trim it down but going bald is a no go cause he thinks that's weird and doesn’t want to be able to just clearly see his own dick lol

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Pretty intimate but only when making love, when you guys are fucking it is just chasing the high but after and before expect love and romanticism

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Oof maybe like 1-4 times a week, I don’t see him getting much alone time since there are so many members around him constantly and prob tries to do it in the shower but then someone needs in the bathroom and he ends up having to have blue balls or something

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

I see him as being pretty vanilla and stereotypical, unlike some I think he just likes simple stuff like spanking and authority play but that is really it. Def the type who says like “I think we need to spice up our sex life” and pulls out a container of salt or something as a joke

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Bedroom, shower, kitchen, etc. Anything at home. Like I said he is pretty vanilla but if you entice him to fuck somewhere other than the bedroom he’s gonna most likely be down

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Just show a bit of skin and touch on his arms or twirl your fingers through his hair or something and he will literally go crazy, tap your fingers down on his arm or chest and it is even better

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Since I said he is pretty vanilla, I still see him down to try stuff tho, he doesn’t like turn down much stuff if its just trying it and doing it once or something but he will n o t put anything inside of him or ever do something that would be like vib panties and turning them on in public or something

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Loves giving, although I see Johnny as a dom and mainly just a dom I see him as someone who just loves eating you out for d a y s, go back to what I said about wrapping his arms around your legs and holding you still

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Keeps a pretty general pace every time, he likes taking his time but hates going too slow. He likes taking his time in order to savor the moment and the feeling but hates going slow cause it is almost like teasing you and him

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Doesn’t hate them, you guys have done it before but like I said he is one to take his time, if there is a quickie sometimes you guys don’t completely finish due to not wanting to be late or almost getting caught

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

I mentioned he is down to try almost anything so he is okay with taking a few risks here and there but he refuses to do anything that could put his group and his and your own privacy in jeopardy

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Decent, prob goes like 1 round of foreplay and 1 good round of sex, I don’t see him wanting to go a bunch of times unless he is super sexually frustrated 

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Nah, I mean if you like them then he’ll use them but he is reluctant to them even if they are something super indifferent and simple

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Prefers to be teased rather than to tease, sometimes if you come to dance practice or something then he’ll dance a way to purposely get you turned on or just simple ignoring your own teasing which makes it even worse (if that makes sense)

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Quiet, a moan and groan here and there but def more a heavy breather, doesn’t really make a lot of noise and hardly ever whimpers and whines. Sometimes grunts when he is close and he thrusts sloppily and gets in those last few thrusts before creaming lol

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Likes early morning sex, especially on days off, it just completely relaxes him and just lets him start out the day nicely and super calm and focused

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

He is a tall boy but he is also skinny (sorry Johnny boy isn’t part of the BTG so), I see him as like maybe a bit above average like 7.5-8.5in which a decent width and gives a nice burn and stretch the first time he enters but then quickly dies out into pleasure

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

While he doesn’t really get sexually frustrated he does get stressed easily, but you also get little to no time alone, that comes with there being so many members in his group, he prob wants to go like 3 times min a week but you guys go maybe 2 a week avg

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

30 minutes to an hour later, he kisses your head goodnight and wraps his arms around you and as soon as his head hits that pillow and his eyes flutter close with an i love you mumbled through a very very tired Johnny’s lips he falls asleep

ibaaaa hi! prompt 37: "Lie to me. I don't care what you say, just lie to me. Make me feel okay again" with whatever pairing your heart feels 💕

hi amanda!! thank u so much for the prompt and sorry it took me a bit to get to it. here, enjoy my first attempt at angst (that is completely unedited so please ignore any errors lmao):

word count: 716

warnings: mentions of alcohol and implied suicidal thoughts

The stupid alarm clock in the guest bedroom has something wrong with it. It’s only got two buttons, and somehow, neither of them turn it off, so, every day at 1:30 in the afternoon, the alarm blares its irritating jingle and draws Luke out of his catatonic, tequila-induced haze and back into the world for a few moments of breathless, awful pain. 

It’s fine, though, really, Michael, he’s fine and Michael should focus on spending time with Calum and their families while he’s back home in Australia instead of spending time worrying about Luke. And come on, Cal, there’s no reason to change their flight back to LA to a week earlier, Luke’s sadness is completely manageable. 

They don’t need to know how Luke had tried to forget it all, under neon lights and the wandering hands of a nameless, faceless person, the tears tracking through the glitter on his cheeks played off as those of happiness. He’d hoped that the blaring music would drown out the voices in his head, at first just his own whispers to himself, wondering why Ashton was never around anymore, never told him he loved him any more, refused to write with him, and then later, the screaming fight that had finally ended it once and for all, Ashton screaming, “I can’t create anything if I’m giving all of myself to you!” and disappearing out the front door, taking ten years and Luke’s whole heart with him as he left, leaving Luke gasping for breath and crashing, falling to the ground and out of this world. 

They also don’t need to know how Luke had clung onto a new person every night since, whispering the same thing in the ear of everyone who tried to tug him towards the exit, “Please, lie to me. I really don’t care what you say, just lie to me. Just, make me feel okay again.” No takers yet, the number of pitying looks accounted for with an equal number of shots, only ever tequila, because Ashton hates tequila and Ashton hates Luke, so why not combine the two, right? 

Really, he wants to ask it of everyone he has any interaction with, wishes he could ask Michael or Calum for the small comfort of being told a lie, almost like a bedtime story. Don’t worry Luke, everything will work out in time. Ashton will come back, and he’ll love you again. 

Most of all, he wishes that that was all he’d asked of Ashton that night, maybe not in so many words, just offered him a simple “I love you”. Maybe Ashton would have taken the bait and mindlessly said it back, and Luke could have continued living in that bright little pocket of time called “Before”. 

Michael and Calum and everyone else really don’t need to know that Luke had only switched to drinking at home after nearly killing someone (and himself, but that doesn’t really matter) while trying to drive himself home from some club deep in the Hills, hidden but so completely conspicuous in the way that everything in LA always is. 

The only reason Luke even knows how long it’s been since the end of the Before is because of that godforsaken alarm clock that rings at the same time every day and doesn’t seem to understand how desperately Luke needs everything to lie to him. He needs to hear that he hasn’t spent a whole month wallowing, that he’s better than that, that he can’t be broken this easily. He needs to hear that he has time to clean himself and their, no, his, house up before Michael and Calum get back. 

He needs the guitars scattered throughout their, no, his house to say that he hasn’t been ignoring them for the past month, that he’s done something beyond sit on the floor and stare at them, wondering if the value of a few new chords is interchangeable with his own. 

When the doorbell of the house rings a few days later, he needs that to be a lie too. He needs the figure he sees through the peephole to be Ashton, not some delivery driver or confused neighbor or concerned fri— oh. It is. It’s Ashton, and Luke doesn’t know whether he should ask him for a lie.

WAIT i dont wanna sound weird and its probably been so long ago so its okay if u dont remember BUT ive read some of ur gaffv fic (ITS TASTY BTW LOVE THE CONTENT) and i saw u mention that aurion might not Particularly like if the mc romances phil at the same time, i was wondering how u get that piece of text or even what it said, i KNOW its probably like just a single line but i EAT that shit up - ghxstwriter 👉👈

It’s cool I spend a Lot of time reading the gaffv text files and probably spend the most time on the Homecoming chapter bc there’s a lot of fun info on The Gang there!! Like feel free to ask me any gaffv stuff, even if i don’t know/remember it i am always very happy to go look it up bc i Love this game

Initiating a romance with Phil after Aurion gets this:

He doesn't mind in the slightest that you already have an understanding with Aurion. You suspect Aurion might not feel the same way, however, and resolve to keep them apart if possible.

Kinistra has an extra check if you want to romance her after already romancing someone else, and is the only one who will complain in the next chapter if you tell her you’ll give your other LIs up but don’t, but I feel it’s a shame Aurion doesn’t also have that. The game does specify that Phil and Xi are totally cool with you dating other people, while Aurion is Not, so while I see why they didn’t want to make it too difficult to get the “Romance Everyone” achievement, I wish Aurion had had the chance to object.

Also!! Listen I might be primarily a Xi romancer but Aurion’s route is very near to my heart so fun fact!! The romance initiation for the other three are basically them going, “Yeah, okay, I guess,” I mean:

Kinistra

You tell her exactly this and ask her exactly that. She doesn't react right away.

With everything that's passed between you, this is a lot to ask.

This has clearly been on Kinistra's mind as well, and her heart wins the day. Someone from the band must be watching because as she grabs you and pulls you close to her (knocking the cup from your hand). The music swells in such a pointed way that you're afraid of drawing the attention of one of the chaperones.

Phil

You hardly have to say a word. Phil's charm is such that he seems to possess a permanent air of low-grade seduction, and the merest hint from you is enough for him to sweep you into his arms. One of the dance chaperones glares at you, but Phil waves them off.

"It's all right," he says into your ear. "I'll be making out with him by the end of the night anyhow. You can come along, if you like!"

Xi

"Why not," says Xi, twining their wires into your hair and pulling you close. Sparks fly.

That was, frankly a bit of a surprise. What about their characterization of you as a pitiful lump of flesh? Their having transcended gender along with all other petty human concerns? The ethical considerations of a romance while being an RA?

Xi explains, in order, that while no mere mortal interchange of fluids can compare with the glory of communion with Information Itself, they certainly don't mind, that they don't see what gender or lack thereof has to do with it, and that if you suggest they are adhering to some form of ethics, they will write you up on DarkBoard for slander. So that's all right. The dance swirls around as Xi neglects their chaperone responsibilities and quietly diverts the DarkBoard monitors from your particular corner.

MEANWHILE here’s Aurion going “omg yes I’ve been trying to ask you All Year” because he’s a Cutie

Yes. It's yes. Turns out Aurion has been trying to figure out how to ask you the same thing ever since you were kidnapped together your first night at the school. He launches into a lecture, mostly for his own benefit, about how even villains are allowed to have love interests, as long as they don't ever allow this to make them selfless.

You cut him off, in a manner much to your mutual satisfaction.

ANYWAY. Aurion’s great and I love him and he’s at least as much of a romantic as the actual Hero Princess love interest, he will just murder you if you mention it.

ok wait I have one more rant abt American Dragon and I swear I’m done, but the whole concept of a ‘leader’ dragon for every country is very.... strange to me

like ok, suspension of disbelief for vague hand-wavey magic, or the existence of magical creatures, etc. fine fine. but the whole PREMISE of the show is built around the concept of an American Dragon-- yet that concept is so incredibly, frustratingly vague. like I said in my original review, I’m willing to excuse a lot for a simple kid’s show that isn’t looking to worldbuild super deeply, but the main premise at the VERY least should have SOME planning behind it

for one, the physical size and population distribution of each country varies WILDLY across the globe, it’s honestly stupid to assign the same number of ‘leader’ dragons (one) to each, and expect each dragon to serve their respective country to the same degree of competence. the US is a fuckin MASSIVE country w/ two states disconnected from the mainland, and SEVERAL different biomes that have contributed to diverse sets of populations (which would likely be reflected among magical creatures as well, culturally and biologically-speaking). it’s ridiculous to expect ONE dragon to serve, represent, and protect ALL those populations

and the thing is, Jake DOESN’T do that! he’s a New York Dragon at best. the only times I remember him helping out w/ magical emergencies out-of-state are when he’s traveling for personal reasons (like visiting family) or when he’s tending to dragon council business, in which case most dragons across the world are gathering there too (not to mention these instances are generally out-of-country)

having a ‘leader’ dragon assigned to a bio/cultural region without even bothering with human borders would make FAR more sense (esp since the dragons don’t even wanna bother w/ the human world anyways, so why are they assigning things based on human constructs??). hell, there could even still be dragons representing larger areas too, so long as it was established that they’re the more broad-scope representatives that must regularly convene with the dragon representatives of the smaller regions under their jurisdiction. this would assure that each dragon is truly an intimate member of the communities they’re assigned to, rather than some outsider intruding on important matters that they simply can’t understand w/o cultural context. this especially makes sense if we assume that dragon forms are magical/psychological projections of the cultural society that a given dragon is raised in, rather than a *strictly* biological body whose traits are genetically inherited (tho like I said in my main review, I’m rly doubtful of that actually being canon to the show...)

now, it would admittedly be p cool if the show took the time to pull Jake across the nation to explore different cultural/ecological regions and the magical creatures within. but that’s expecting a lot from a show that only establishes that Jake is part-Chinese on the most shallow of levels, and fails to explore Chinese culture in any intimate manner beyond ONE(1) episode about the Chinese new year. like, the bar is on the ground, here

and even if some attention had been paid to America’s diverse cultural settings, I’d still be skeptical of Jake being able to handle the whole nation on his own. hell, I’m skeptical of an ADULT dragon being able to handle a nation as huge as the US, much less a tween handling the whole thing. I already take huge issue w/ kid’s shows framing dangerous, mature situations as “normal” responsibilities for children to encounter and just “get over”, as if they’re as commonplace and simple as like, studying for class. so every time Jake is reprimanded for not managing his time properly when he’s running on 10 min of sleep after facing off against angry trolls, or trying to take some free time for himself when he’s missed out on every other chance at a normal middle school milestone, I genuinely seethe w/ rage

at least w/ most other kid’s shows there’s some explanation I can accept for the main character having to go through that kinda stress. like w/ Danny Phantom, Danny unfortunately goes thru a freak accident, and he can’t tell his ghost-hunting parents abt it for fear that they might tear him apart for science or misguided protection, and he decides on his own that he has some responsibility to use his powers for active good (tho DP still pulls the “ghost-fighting is just like balancing school and a social life!” bullshit that I HATE..). or w/ Steven Universe, all this responsibility was thrust on Steven by adults who didn’t understand the consequences of their actions or had no other choice, and Steven’s currently dealing w/ the massive emotional fallout of having his childhood stolen from him

but with American Dragon, like... this shit is PLANNED. the council carefully CHOOSES the dragon for each nation-- these adults have a RESPONSIBILITY to both a whole WORLD of magical creatures AND their dragon subordinates to choose capable, mature dragons to lead the magical world. and for some reason they decide that this responsibility should fall on the shoulders of LITERAL CHILDREN?? who was the previous American Dragon? where the hell are they now? (Neopuff pointed out to me that Jake is in fact the first AD, which is even even more suspect than before! what!!) even if Jake is chosen to be a potential future AD, why does he have to take on that full responsibility now?? why isn’t a seasoned adult taking care of the bulk of responsibilities until Jake grows up??? like I get that children’s power fantasies hit different when ur an adult b/c u can recognize what responsibilities a child shouldn’t have to deal with-- I GET that it’s good to let children explore mature responsibilities in fiction, I’m not arguing that. but these responsibilities should at LEAST make sense in-context, and NO adult should have knowingly thrust these duties on literal children w/o some DAMN good explanation for why they literally CAN’T assign dragon duties to adults. not to mention that the whole, “you’re selfish and need to learn better time management skills,” thing is such an insidious message to direct at kids who should literally only be expected to... be kids? I’m SO fucking mad abt this!!!

and don’t even get me STARTED on the fact that Jake is being trained by the Chinese Dragon, and Haley by the Korean Dragon. like, again, the show establishes that there’s only one ‘leader’ dragon for every nation, and that Lao Shi and Sun are the current dragons of their respective countries-- they haven’t resigned, as far as we know. so like, what happened to China and Korea (and now that I think abt it, which Korea??)? they just don’t have dragon protectors? fuck them, I guess, they’re on their own now? b/c training American dragons is so much more important than protecting their own countries? b/c a Chinese and Korean dragon somehow have better knowledge of American magical communities than the dragons that have actually been living there and presumably been serving those communities for decades (and b/c every Asian country is apparently interchangeable, so a Korean dragon is obviously perfectly fit to understand the cultural background of part-Chinese dragons)? hello???

now I AM at least willing to consider that perhaps the dragon council runs on enough shallow bureaucracy that their predecessors just arbitrarily decided to assign a single, young dragon to each country, and the current council is too stubborn to change that tradition even in the face of its clear problems. like, actual real-life political systems are absolutely fucked, so it tracks that a fantasy political system could be similarly broken. this doesn’t explain all the fuckshit, but it might at least explain some of the fuckshit. BUT none of these problems are ever brought up in the show, so we have to assume that they are somehow, canonically......... not actually problems..... ugh.............

and none of this even BEGINS to tackle the weird dragon monarchy over all magical-kind. like this obviously isn’t exclusive to AD, u see this sorta bloodline-bound authority thing in a LOT of western fantasy media. but the fact that the dragon council seems so utterly incompetent when u pick apart all the above issues, I’m just sitting here like... how have the trolls/elves/merfolk/etc. not guillotined y’all yet? lmfao

Invented Meeting

Pairing: Deceit Sanders x Remus Sanders

Mentioned Patton Sanders x Logan Sanders

Warnings: Remus (enough said I think) and some mentions of gore

When asked the identity of his truest enemy, one is liable to assume the name Logan Decker would mention to be that of Damien Klaus. Logan himself might not refute this; however, they are, in actuality, partners of some sort. 

Damien Klaus grew up in a poor neighborhood. This fact alone people are all too willing to cite as his reason for getting involved with the mob. However, anyone who has spoken to him would not be so certain. His high intelligence and dapper attitude speak of one who could have climbed high in the ranks of society. No one knows exactly why he joined: least of all him. When asked, he shrugs gracefully, eyes hooded, offers a mysterious smile, and gives the reply that it "sounded interesting." And so we'll just have to take his word for it. 

But his upbringing did have some relation to his later work; if it didn't inspire his line of work, it certainly fostered the necessary skills. If one were to ask Damien's old school teachers whether or not they recall him, in all likelihood, very few would know him by name. No, they would think for a moment and then ask, "What year did he graduate?" Upon receiving the answer, the teacher would say "Ah, THAT class." You see, "THAT class" (which Deceit happened to be a part of) was a trouble class. Around them, things just seemed to go wrong: flat tires, missing tests or test keys, videos wouldn't play, always loud and at each other's throats, broken desks, graffiti everywhere, teachers out sick mysteriously. This couldn't be the work of a single person, since the crimes were occasionally pinned on various people, each as unlikely as the next. Of course, the teachers had suspicions. We know that there was really only one guilty party: Damien. Damien is an expert at ghosting. It's almost as though he was never even present at the scene of the crime. But if thought over hard enough, every issue benefitted him in some way. Problem people were blamed, chaos prevented work, stealing answers got good grades: all outcomes benefitted him in some way. So, throughout his school years, he honed his skills. And thus, as soon as he graduated, he waltzed right into the mob boss' meeting room and announced he was an "indispensable asset" and gave a list of what he required. This seems bold, but it is even more so than is immediately obvious. The boss had guards, security, cameras; yet not a single one warned him that Damien had gotten in. Based on his fear and how startled he was, the boss quickly agreed, and just like that, he had a brand new attack dog. 

Now, even within the "family," Damien didn't truly belong. He was too... mysterious? Different? Creepy? Haughty? Yes to all. But mostly, everyone feared him. He never seemed to actually do anything. His targets always just... had an accident or vanished or were the victim of a random shooting. Oftentimes, he didn't even leave the base and his unfortunate target was dispatched anyway. He was truly the best of the best. He handles the dirtiest, darkest, most devilish jobs. There is a myth that his hands are so soaked in blood that they are stained red and that's why he wears his yellow gloves. There is no indiscretion between targets; anyone is fair game: women, children, the poor, the wealthy, the guilty, the innocent, the young, the old. He has even orchestrated the killing of members of the family on command. Due to his reputation and the distrust it breeds, he received several nicknames: The Snake and Deceit. Damien quickly embraced these titles and now uses them interchangeably with his name.

As the best hitman, it is no strange happenstance for Deceit to be called in to meet with the boss. And so, when he is sought out by an underling and told he is wanted, he doesn't so much as bat an eyelash. Taking his time, he saunters in a few minutes late, looking pristine as ever in his black and yellow accented suit and bowler hat. 

The boss glances at him out of the corner of his eye but continues his conversation. While awaiting acknowledgement, D crosses his arms and leans casually against the wall in a carefully chosen spot that keeps the faces of every person within the room in his eyeline. One of the guards by the door, feeling eyes upon him, glances over and makes eye contact. The pair of eyes -- one blue and one brown -- seem to pierce through the thin veil his own eyes provide to his thoughts. Maintaining eye contact, the man in the hat allows an unsettling smile to crawl onto his face. It doesn't reach his eyes. Still smiling, he tilts his head slightly to the left and flicks his eyes toward the guard's left pants pocket before meeting the guard's terrified gaze once again. He winks once with his blue eye before pushing off the wall. The guard -- a traitor, with a vial of poison in the very pocket Deceit was eyeing -- lets out a gasp, and can feel himself shaking as the other man's attention shifts off of him.

Deceit walks to the center of the room and stands, hands folded behind his back. The boss finally turns to him.

"You wanted to see me," Deceit purrs.

"Indeed," booms the boss, "I have a new target for you. Or rather, a challenge."

Intrigued, Damien raises an eyebrow and gestures for him to continue.

"Everyone is aware among our own that you are unrivalled in your work. Therefore, I want you to take care of someone that no one else has ever been able to get close to. Kill Logan Decker."

The mention of the name causes a stunned hush to fall over the room. Deceit laughs. 

"Oh is that all? Piece if cake. Anything else while you're at it?" 

Startled, the boss is at a loss for words. "Oh, uh. No actually. That is all."

"As you wish," Damien replies, glee evident in his face and voice. There is a skip in his step as he turns to leave. 

As he is gliding out of the room, Damien pauses next to the guard from earlier and claps a hand on his shoulder before leaning in close. "Good luck with your job. Remember that there are air vents," he breathes, almost too quietly for even the guard to hear. Unsure, the guard looks to the other's face as he pulls back, only to lean away as he catches sight of the demented smile showcased by the other. And then the moment is broken. "Best of luck," Damien says again, standing back this time. He walks out of the door with no more hesitation. 

As soon as he is out of sight, Damien breaks into a sprint. He rounds one, two, three, four corners and jumps over some boxes blocking a doorway. Panting, he halts at his goal: an air vent. Removing the screws with a rapidity which denotes practice, he pulls off the cover and crawls inside, replacing it behind him. All told, it takes him less than a minute to reach a juncture in the vents where he stops and sits down, back against a wall. He leans his head back and  loses his eyes as he catches his breath and listens. Voices float through the vent. 

"-lose him, but he's unpredictable. Within the year, he'll be after me and my job."

"But what will we do without him?"

"We were fine without him before!" growls the boss angrily, "he can be replaced."

"It's meant to be impossible, but what if he succeeds?"

A bark of laughter follows this question. "Then he deserves to lead. The Reaper will have finally taken The Devil. But all the hounds of hell will be after him: he won't last either way."

Damien's eyes open slowly and he nods. "A suicide mission, really, that is beneath you. He's afraid but he still underestimates me. A year." He scoffs. "You'll be dead within the next two days old man." Having heard all he needs, Deceit backtracks and exits the vent, properly replacing the cover. He stretches and yawns, covering his mouth with his gloved hand. Suddenly, he claps and then rubs his hands together. "To work we go," he mutters excitedly. And he sets off, but not before straightening his hat and bowtie.

Logan had been having a fairly normal day, until he was accosted by an abnormally frazzled Roman. 

Roman sprinted up and -- stopping at the very last second -- grabs Logan by his upper arms and shakes him slightly while asking a question with a crazed look in his eyes: "Have you seen Remus?" 

Attempting to disguise the fact that this question somewhat disturbs him, Logan gently removes Roman's hands from him and straightens his tie before answering. 

Finally, he says reluctantly, "No. I have no idea of the whereabouts of your lascivious sibling."

Running a hand through his hair, Roman swears under his breath and begins to walk away, looking as though he is deep in thought. Logan lets him go and thinks little of the matter until sometime later. 

Around this same time, another unusual encounter is taking place. Two men are unwittingly crawling through the same air duct. They meet at a juncture. A mustached face stares at a face with vitiligo. The mustached one's startledness lasts for barely a second before a wide smile makes its way across his face. Deceit (for he is one in the vent obviously) thinks he might finally understand what people meant when they said his smile was terrifying. As Damien thinks this, the other man begins to laugh -- a chilling, creepy giggle. Taken aback, Damien leans away slightly and, abandoning his usual aura of unshakability, asks incredulously, "Why are you in here?" 

"Oh you know," the other drawls, "vents are the best places for spying." There's the chilling grin again. "You can hear soooooo much of what goes on in the bedroom from up here, if you know what I mean. Wink wink." 

Against his will, Damien lets out an obnoxiously loud snort of laughter (the idiot just said the words 'wink wink'), prompting him to slap a hand over his mouth and freeze in alarm.

"Ah calm down Jumpy Jim," says the stranger coolly, with asurprisingly graceful wave of his hand, "if you're with me, no one can hurt you, unless you're into that sort of thing."

This time Damien only releases a small giggle before he's under control again. Nevertheless, the mad grin on the other man's face shows his delight at eking a laugh out of the normally composed man.

There's a beat of silence during which the two stare at each other, both unsure of what to do next. It is broken by the mustached man flipping onto his back and putting his hands behind his head. 

"So what's your story Sneaky Snake? Why are you in the vent? You don't strike me as much of a peeping tom."

"Thanks... I guess."

"Sure thing hot stuff." These words and the accompanying wink cause Damien's face to rapidly heat up. 

Before Deceit can respond, the other man blurts out the word "name!" and sits up suddenly... crashing his forehead into Damien's nose. Reeling, Damien reaches up to grab his nose, forgetting that he is on his hands and knees, and overbalances. He lands on top of the other man who lets out a low grunt at the impact. The both lie still for several beats, but the man on the bottom once again breaks the silence (Damien is beginning to think he has a problem with silences in general).

"My name's Remus."

"...ok?"

Theres movement beneath him and suddenly Damien is face to face with the pouty faced mustache man. 

"You're supposed to tell me yours now," he whines petulantly, bottom lip stuck out and everything. 

The intruder thinks for a moment before making a decision. 

"My name is Deceit," he states simply.

Remus gasps. "Oooooo a codename!! Yes!!! That's so cool!!! That means you're important!"

Thoroughly uncomfortable with the topic, Damien simply hums in acknowledgement and attempts to roll off the other man. 

He doesn't make it far. Remus grabs him by the hips (accidentally moving him into a position where he is essentially straddling Remus' waist) and holds him still. His voice several octaves lower, he purrs, "You didn't really answer my question though, love. I asked what you were doing in the vent. And either you have a gun in your pocket, or you're just happy to see me. Can't say I'll be disappointed either way."

Stuck in place, unable to run away or make a dramatic exit as he normally would, Deceit is forced to turn to a more… volatile tactic. "Oh no, a gun is too loud, too quick."

"That's what she said!" Remus chimes in cheerfully, wiggling his mustache.

Deceit eyes him. "Or he." Remus freezes. "Anywho, no I carry my knife, as usual. And let's just say I'm here to make some trouble, shake it up if you will." 

"I bet there's more than one thing you can shake," says Remus, voice gravelly. Deceit glares down at him, eyes narrowed.

"Please do stop interrupting, I'm on a rather tight schedule today." Remus removes one hand from his hip to mime zipping his lips. 

Damien still looks unimpressed, but carries on nonetheless. "For lack of a better explanation, bring me to Decker. I have words to share."

Remus nods and then smiles deviously once more. He then obviously forgets about his promise of silence.

"I can do that. Butttt…." He bites bottom lip with his sharp canines. "Why don't you give me something first?" 

Damien plays along willingly. "Such as? I don't have much on me other than my knife." He's been slowly leaning forward and now he's only inches from Remus, breath ghosting over his lips.

"I wish you had even less on you," whispers Remus, and then their lips collide.

[Conveniently placed time skip]

To say Logan is surprised when one of the highest ranking assassins in the world enters his office via piggyback - on Remus nonetheless - would be a gross understatement. When said assassin slides off Remus' back and goes to walk away, only to be pulled back into the taller man's chest as his arms wrap around him, Logan's right eyebrow goes up. When Remus leans down and whispers into his ear, then places an obvious kiss on his neck before letting go, Logans left eyebrow joins the right. When Deceit turns and gives Remus a kiss on the forehead before shooing him away, Logan resolves to call Roman and give him a serious talking to about his brother monitoring duties after this whole debacle draws to a close. 

Finally, Deceit turns to him, arms folded neatly and non threateningly before him. "I was sent to kill you. But I have a grudge against some higher ups in my own group, and so I made my own call. I want to bargain." Logan gestures to the chair in front of his desk.

"Have a seat." Damien does so, and then begins, "I have a proposition for you…"

Several hours later, Damien leaves the room, alone. 

Damien's boss was dead with the week, as predicted. The assassin correctly spotted by Deceit was not caught (he may or may not have been congratulated by a certain bowler hat man and his mustached compatriot). The role of leadership fell to another lackey, but he strangely went missing the night before he was to take charge. When Deceit hears the news, his only comment in that it's all "so very unfortunate." Fortunately, the next in line is Damien himself. "What a turn of events!" he says later. "I had no idea at all. They're just too kind!" Strangely enough, Deceit publicly meets with The Devil the next day. No drastic changes occur, although everyone holds their breath. But gradually, the amount of conflict between the two groups becomes minimal. Everyone still considers them mortal enemies -- the Snake and the Devil -- but a deal was struck, whether it is well known or not.

little writing tips!

no one asked for this at all but i see a lot of writers falling into a lot of the same traps and sometimes its tough to critique the little things without sounding nit-picky so here’s a whole bunch of things to look out for!!

quotations!!

“make sure your punctuation goes inside the quotation marks!” she says. “unless it’s a period and you’re continuing the sentence,” she adds. “then you use a comma.”

use the word says/said! i know everyone told you not do this for the longest time, but really, most of the things we say aren’t exclaimed or questioned or yelled. most of the time, we just say things!

not every line of dialogue needs an explanation! i always remember what i was taught - if you need to use a dialogue tag every time, you aren’t using your dialogue well. a lot of people put descriptions around all their quotes, as if just plain dialogue is a bad thing. it’s not! have your characters exchange a few lines uninterrupted.

however, don’t have big chunks of dialogue! i usually limit myself to no more than five lines of pure dialogue. that’s not a hard rule though. be sure to mix it up!

sentence flow!!

mix it up! have long sentences and short sentences! have long paragraphs and short paragraphs! if everything is the same it gets really boring really quickly!

if you have a problem writing too many long flow-y sentences like i do, try arranging your sentences differently. start some with nouns, some with prepositions. experiment with all the different ways you can write the same thing.

if you have a problem writing too many short sentences, try combining them! there’s conjunctions, appositives, transitions - research it! you can add variation without harming your style.

be careful with transition words. this isn’t an essay, you don’t need to start every sentence with them. but pay attention if you’re not using any. these words help your ideas move from one to the next. and remember that u can throw transitions into the middle of a sentence!

show, don’t tell!!

a great sentiment that we’re all familiar with but for the love of god TELL, DON’T SHOW. don’t get me wrong, descriptions are great, but you know that. we were taught that. sometimes we forget that a story doesn’t progress if you only show, you need some action to drive people forward!

sometimes we forget to stick to the basics in our descriptions. happy is fine. so is sad. not everyone is wonderfully ecstatic with tears pooling in the corners of their misty eyes.

that last sentence is really bothering you, isn’t it? don’t overuse adjectives! descriptions are great they help describe the scene and the characters so your readers better understand the picture. but trust your readers. they only need one or two adjectives to get your point.

but for those of us who have trouble using adjectives, try throwing some in! see what happens! better to have some than not to have any!

adverbs will be your demise. listen, everyone is different, and if someone ever tells you to “never” do something in your writing don’t listen to them because there’s a time and a place for everything. but please, please, please use adverbs as sparingly as you can! they’re like fake adjectives! don’t rely on them!

word choice!!

once again, stick to the basics people! a lot of writers are always scared of telling things as they are, and took me a long time to get this. you can say hair instead of locks. you can say eyes instead of orbs. trust me, it’s okay.

mix it up, but also don’t!! all words have synonyms, but that doesn’t mean all words are interchangeable. most aren’t, in fact. so if you find yourself being repetitive, and you can swap out some of the words for other, do it! but if you’re using a word that’s relatively unique (e.g. fork) don’t try and be creative (e.g. trident, four-pronged utensil, glittering and silver food tool).

use a thesaurus! i have one saved on my desktop. you are a simple human being. you do not know every word in the english language. go learn some new ones!

but don’t be a pretentious asshole. what does beatific even mean. no one says tickled pink anymore. your readers don’t want to look up every single word no matter how jocund your characters are.

that said, use words your characters would. if your character happens to be a pretentious asshole, let them be as jocund as they please.

characterization!!

got an original character? get to know them! doesn’t matter if they’re the protagonist or in the background, if you don’t know them well, your readers aren’t going to give a shit. but that doesn’t mean you have to reveal everything you know! imagine how you would describe your best friend to someone. you’re not going to list every single thing you know, so don’t do it to your characters either!

release information in bursts. we don’t need to know exactly what the character looks like from the moment we meet them. unless they’re a main character, we really don’t even need to know their hair or eye color or height. their outfits usually don’t serve any purposes. their personality should paint the majority of their picture.

using someone else’s character? multiply the info in the last two paragraphs tenfold! the readers already know mostly everything about the characters. it’s up to you to focus on taking what we know and applying it to other situations.

names!!

characters have names! please use them! for the love of god! use their names! i used to always fall into the trap of using too many pronouns. trust me, pronouns get annoying a lot faster than names do. (that isn’t to say you shouldn’t use pronouns. please do. very often, in fact.)

don’t refer to characters by their traits. “the brown haired woman” is great if we don’t know a character yet, but it’s awful to use in place of a character’s name. their name is more important than their hair color, i assure you.

your voice!!

don’t be a robot! this is your story, tell it how you want to. people will give you a million writing rules to follow but at the end of the day, it’s your choice!

but don’t ignore the rules either. there are a lot of different ways to write well, but there’s a lot of ways to write poorly, too. the difference is to have confidence in what you’re doing. use techniques with a purpose. use grammar as a puppet to convey what you want. don’t do things just because you’ve seen other people do it that way. use language and it’s quirks to your advantage.

if you’re not confident, get a friend! get many friends! get someone you trust to tell you when you make an error! if you can’t handle someone critiquing you, don’t write. you’ll never get anywhere, i promise.

have fun! writing can feel like a chore sometimes, and writers block is an uphill battle, but at the end of the day, you should enjoy doing it! enjoy getting better! enjoy creating!

I also diagree with that bi = pan post

thank u

IF anyone’s wondering abt which post im talkin about, it’s This One

For the most part, there’s nothing rly wrong with the post because it makes some good points (for example, that bi actually means “more than two” as opposed to “men and women” or ““both”“; that pansexuality isn’t inherently more inclusive and therefore better etc). Since it may not have been clear before, I am actually in agreement with most of the post.

The problem comes from the last picture: “pansexuality isn’t better than bisexuality because it’s just a different term for the same thing.” Obviously the first half of this isn’t the problem, either - neither sexuality is better. It’s the second part that bothers me: By definition, they are two different terms for the two different things. They’re definitely two very similar things, but they are Not The Same. They can be the same, but not always.

In the same post it says, “bisexuality […] means ‘attraction to two or more genders’,” and since pansexuality is defined as an attraction to all genders, they are, by definition, different things.

If someone says they’re bi, and their “or more” includes everyone, then yes, they are also pan. I’m not saying that can’t or doesn’t happen. In those cases, both definitions fit, but that doesn’t mean that every person who is bi is actually pan. It isn’t right for people to sit there and say, “oh, you’re bi? Haha, actually, you’re pan. I decide who you are now.” that’s not cool

Another thing I’d like to point out though not necessarily disagree with is the “most of the time they mean the same thing.” I, personally, cannot claim whether or not that is true or false, because I haven’t done any studies or conducted surveys or whatever to determine if people who say they are bi are actually attracted to all genders. However, assuming (key word) the person who made the post also didn’t do any surveys or anything, it’s equally hard for them to claim that “most” bi people are pan. It seems to be true for the person who made the post (they say so on their blog) but that doesn’t necessarily make it true for everyone. I know I’m repeating myself but I feel like it’s important: I am Not Saying it’s impossible. There is definitely an overlap. I just don’t think it’s fair to say “most” based on assumptions on top of assumptions on top of assumptions.

Also: I went to op’s blog Not To Talk Shit but just to see if they had anything else to say on the topic. And they do: They said they identify as bi, but use the labels “pan” and “bi” interchangeably because for them, it’s the same thing. For them, personally, they fit both definitions, because that’s how they identify. Let me be very clear: This is not a problem. This is in no way the problem. How people identify is for them to say, for them to define, and that isn’t wrong.

To further clarify, my problem is not with the person who made the post - in fact we seem to be of the same mind. The problem is the sweeping statement they made. Also in a response to an ask they said, “…in a lot of cases they are identical” which i mostly agree with (again with the “most” thing from before), but their post - aka the thing that is being seen by way more people - didn’t say that. The post said that bisexual and pansexual are different terms for the same thing. Also, in the same ask, they say, “I never said they were the same thing” but like, they Literally did. that’s my whole problem w the post. thats why im here

Anyway maybe it was just supposed to be a silly funny joke post, because op and i seem to think more or less the same thing on the subject, and maybe i took this too seriously but whatever its done nowthis wasnt a funny post but anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk
