Nicodemus is a shitty person. He lords over a micro-community of degenerate hacker-types, knowingly manipulating and conditioning them to play into his narcissism while they all spend their time making the average person's life harder for their own gain. He is contacted privately by the elusive Atonement Bureau, convicting him of excessive envy and pride, and informing him he is to join their ranks if he hopes to have any chance of redemption.
Sincats experience a cycle of reincarnation, with their personal traits exemplifying their ethical balance from their previous life. You're meant to balance your lifestyle to aim for bless'ed ascension on your ninth! Nico.... is willing to admit that perhaps he's taken too much advantage of his current angelic features.
Nicodemus may be an asshole but he isn't a fool, and he begrudges the Bureau a visit - he fully plans to game the system until they have him skip the reincarnation. The whole point of Bureau work is to start over with a fresh slate, and he's deeply unsettled by the implications this carries. It's impossible to know if you're on your ninth life; and for all Nico cares it's always been an old wives' tale anyway. Right? right...?
The wind blown out of his sails, Nicodemus lets the Bureau do what it wants, and he is forcibly moved to a distant city under threat to behave or his redemption will be terminated. All of his contacts are informed that he has passed to his next incarnation, and they respectfully distance themselves.
He now finds himself alone, halfway across the world, doing thankless work fighting shadowbeasts like a god damned magical girl, and he's gotta suck it up and try to be a better person.

I can't stop thinking of Eddie as Cyrano de Bergerac.
He's in the drama club, he's known for his way with words, his ability to bring whole worlds to life with them. Few people know that he also writes poetry, poems about love and loss, society and justice, whatever comes to his mind. Many of them are about a mysterious person with gold-flecked eyes and autumn hair, constellations on his skin, and the sun in his heart.
Eddie guards his notebook full of poems like a dragon guards his hoard of gold. And yet.
And yet Susie Bowers finds it where it fell out of his pocket when that asshole Tommy Hagan pushed him against the lockers. She reads it and realizes how devastatingly beautiful Eddie's words are.
It makes her think… think about her crush on Steve Harrington, the fallen king who is still the most eligible bachelor at Hawkins High. Especially since he refuses to just take girls home to fuck them. No, he wants to date. He wants to fall in love. It's catnip for everyone, but at the same time so frustrating because no girl has managed to catch his eye yet.
Maybe this little notebook is her ticket to a relationship with Steve Harrington.
She approaches Eddie and shows him the notebook, pulling it out of his reach as he attempts to grab it. She offers him a deal: she won't spread copies of all his cute little writings all over the school, exposing his deepest secrets for everyone to see and ridicule. In exchange, Eddie will help her sweet-talk Steve Harrington.
Eddie agrees and writes love letters to the boy he's been in love with ever since he found him drunk and depressed on the side of the road after his girlfriend dumped him. He had taken him home, listened to him ramble on about what he had done wrong, why no one would want to love him, and then put Steve to bed and watched him sleep until morning to make sure he was okay.
He left before Steve woke up, and the next time they saw each other at school, Steve didn't even look at him. It had broken his heart and inspired most of his poems, because nothing inspires like heartbreak.
And now Eddie can tell Steve all the things he thinks and feels about him - just to make it seem like it's written by Susie.
It seems to work, because Steve replies to her letters. His replies are simpler, less lyrical, but just as earnest. His words are sweet, and he's funny and thoughtful.
He's everything Eddie knew he was going to be. And Susie couldn't care less, she just wants to go out with him, have him take her home, have everyone know that she's Steve Harrington's girlfriend.
They go out. After a dozen letters, he gives in and asks her out.
Eddie cries himself to sleep that night.
Someone knocks on his bedroom window. Confused and a bit nervous, because he doesn't have only friends in this town, far from it, he goes to open it.
And finds Steve Harrington standing right outside his window.
"What -"
"Did you mean them?" Steve asks and he can't tell from his tone what he's thinking.
"What?"
"Your letters, did you mean what you wrote or did you just write down what you thought I wanted to hear so I'd go out with Susie?"
His tone doesn't really change, but Eddie can see his eyes shining in the dim light coming from his bedroom. He looks upset, and Eddie wants to fix it, but he doesn't know what answer would do that.
So he chooses the truth. "Yes. I meant every single word I wrote in those letters."
"Then why didn't you send them under your own name?" When did Steve get so close? And why is the window sill digging into his stomach?
At Steve's question, Eddie can't help but laugh bitterly. "Did you look at me, Steve? I'm the town freak! A fuckup. Trailer trash. A small-time drug dealer who failed his senior year. Why would anybody - why would you want to get love letters from me?"
Steve nods, not saying a word as he turns and walks away. And okay, he deserves it, he guesses. Hanging his head in defeat, he shuffles away from the window and face plants on his bed, letting fresh tears fall from his eyes.
Until there's another knock, this time at his front door.
He's out of bed in record time, almost breaking his neck in his haste to get to the door. It can't be - it's impossible that this is -
Steve is standing on his front porch, looking devastatingly handsome in his light-washed Levi's and red sweater. His date outfit.
He walks up to him before Eddie can say anything and cups his cheek.
"I've been looking at you, Eddie. All I've done since the night you brought me home and listened to me and took care of me, I've been looking at you. Looking and waiting. Hoping. Wanting you to give me a sign, any sign, that it wasn't just chivalry that made you do this, but the fact that you cared. About me. But you never did."
"Steve," Eddie whispers, but Steve isn't finished.
"And then I get these letters, and all the words, they sound like you. I couldn't be sure, not until I read the line, 'You deserve someone who wants to love you, all of you, the good and the bad and everything in between. I want to be that person. I want to love you.' You're the only one I've ever said that to. I knew it had to be you."
"But why? Why go out with Susie?"
"Because I had to be absolutely sure that it wasn't Susie. And after ten minutes with her, I was. I drove around until I couldn't… I had to talk to you. To see if you mean it. If you want to love me."
Eddie kisses him.
There's nothing else on his mind but the need to finally kiss the boy he's been in love with for almost a year.
Steve kisses him back, soft, tender, then deeper, dirtier.
When they pull apart, both gasping, Eddie leans in closer because his next words are meant for him and Steve and no one else.
"I want to love you long after my body crumbles to dust and my soul finds yours in the afterlife. I want to love you as the ocean does the moon, forever bound, forever following its call, until the end of time."

Joy: Richie Jerimovich x Reader
Tumblr media
Tagging: @kmc1989 @rita-lean @yousigned-upforthis @factualfic @ayeeeee-ayeeeeeeeeeeee
Companion piece to:
One Night Stand (NSFW)
Gift (NSFW)
Safe With You
All The Good Ones Are (NSFW)
Tumblr media
Richie knows you’re The One when you patch up the stab wound he has in his ass in the your bathroom. He’s standing with both palms pressed to the vanity, watching you in the mirror as you take an antiseptic wipe from the first aid kit you keep under the sink and use it to clean the wound. He hisses through his teeth at the sting of it and the edges of your lips turn up into a smile.
“You’re a sadist.” He accuses you, his jaw clenching and you raise your eyes to meet his in the reflection.
“I told you, you shouldn’t have pissed off Sydney.” You remind him as you toss the wipe into the trash and remove another.
“She comes in with all these big ideas, as if she knows better.” He says, his voice raising as he grips the counter because that second round of wound cleaning it somehow it seems to hurt more than the first.
“Richie baby, you’re shouting…” You say as you pick up a band aid and compare it to the wound.
“That’s because I got stabbed in the ass and I’m a little frustrated.” He retorts, his voice hitching in agitation.
“No.” You say quietly, slapping the band aid onto his ass. “It's because you’re sad.”
He looks at you then in the reflection of the mirror and he wants to laugh, to bite back with something cutting but he doesn’t because you’re right he is sad. Every little change that Sydney implements is just another way that Mikey is being erased and it hurts, it hurts more than being stabbed in the ass ever could.
“It feels like he’s disappearing.” Richie says as he tugs up his tracksuit bottoms. “Like I’m losing him all over again.”
“I know baby.” You say, you palm rubbing a soothing circle over his back as your cheek comes to rest on his shoulder. “But it’s not Sydney’s fault, she’s just trying to make some order out of the chaos.”
The chaos that she created with the pre-order fuckup, the thing that send everybody’s day into a fucking spiral. It’s not even that that’s bothering him. Objectively he knows she’s right, they need to step up, to move forward if they want to stay afloat. It’s the other shit that’s weighing on him, the things she said as she waved that knife around by her cutting station.
“She called me a loser.” He says finally as he tilts his face towards you. “And I kinda think maybe she was right. I don’t fucking contribute anything, not at work, not with Eva, not here…”
Your fingertips ghost along the stubble of his grizzled cheek as he looks down at you. There’s such pain in those vibrant blue eyes of his, such grief and devastation. Any other day those words they would have washed right off his back but not today, not on the anniversary of Michael’s death. Instead they sink into his skin like barbs, embedding themselves deep, scarring his psyche.
You’re biggest fear, the one that keeps you awake at night is that he’ll follow Mikey into the grave. That all the shit the world has to offer will eat him up inside, that somehow you won’t see it and you’ll come home to the same thing that he did, a locked door and a sensation of dread that you just can’t shake.
“You are not a loser.” You say fiercely. “You are everything to me and you are everything to Eva. You are a wonderful father and the best partner a woman could ask for…”
“You’re just saying that…”
“Yes I am because I love you, and you love me.” You tell him, your thumb tracing over the his cheekbone. “Do you know how much of a mess I was before you, how worthless I felt? You saved me from that, you helped me see there was good in the world. You are my sunshine Richie, the light that breaks through the clouds on a really shitty day and you will never stop being that to me, you will never stop bringing me joy.”
“I bring you joy?” He says, his voice breaking just a little as his forehead comes to rest upon yours. “That’s funny because your name is Joy, and you bring me all the fucking joy, like truckloads of it, mountains of it.”
You smile then and fuck if it doesn’t feel like he’s seeing the sunrise for the very first time.
“So now that we’ve established that we bring each other joy can we go the fuck to bed?” You ask him, your palms smoothing over the front of his t-shirt.
“You just want to get me undressed again.” He murmurs, a little bit of that brightness back in his gaze.
That weight he’s been carrying, it’s starting to feel a little lighter now. There’s not so much pressure in his chest, he can breath a little easier.
“Maybe.” You whisper, your thumb trailing over the line of his jaw. “Maybe I just want to remind you of all the good things you deserve.”
“Oh sweetheart, I know I don’t deserve you.” He tells you as he looks into your eyes. “But I’m going to work on that, I’m going to do everything I can to become the man you think I am.”
“Richie…” You begin but his mouth covers yours drowning out your words, his hands rake through your hair and you arch against him because this man, he knows exactly how to get you going.
“Baby.” He whispers, his lips brushing over the corner of your mouth. “I need you to shut up and let me give you a little joy.”
Love Richie? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

June-August 2024 Reading Wrap-Up
Hey, sorry for disappearing off of the face of Tumblr for uhhhh three months, but I read twelve books in that time and I'm here to complain.
Religious Text
None applicable.
1/10 - Why Did They Publish This?
Moonbeams and Ashes: Tales of Mystery, Love, and the Paranormal | Margarite Stever
I picked this up from some bookstore here in Missouri under the local authors shelf. I wish I hadn't. These stories were all poorly written, and a good chunk had nothing to do with mystery, love, OR the paranormal. They weren't even bad in the fun way.
2/10 - Trash
None applicable.
3/10 - Meh
My Mother Road | Phyllis York
I picked this up from some OTHER bookstore here in Missouri under the local authors shelf. I wished this book had ended 480 pages sooner. The only highlight was at the end when the grandpa physically kicked a guy off of the porch.
Athena's Child | Hannah Lynn
A Greek myth "retelling" centering around Medusa and intercut with Perseus. It...was just mediocre. There wasn't anything interesting about what it did or changed or told, there was no taking the myth and running in a new direction with it, and worse of all we opted for the Ovid's Metamorphoses route but still used the Greek names for the gods.
4 to 6/10 - Mid-Tier
Crossword Poems, volumes 1 and 2 | Robert Norton
Two itty-bitty volumes covering what were apparently once commonly-known poems that you'd be able to remember based on half of the hint. Decent enough stuff, just kinda boring without that historical note.
Shelling Peanuts and Other Odd Odes | Howard Nelson
Another collection of poems that were ultimately mediocre with a few funny or insightful ones. Not bad, just not especially good either.
Songs of Honour | Noble House Publishers
These were, on the whole, better than the other two, but I knocked it down to 6/10 based on the fact that it took me the entire month of July and a third of August to finish. The formatting was lovely and each poem only took a page, but it was ultimately just "good-to-mediocre" on the whole.
7 to 8/10 - Good With Caveats
Outlaw: Champions of Kamigawa | Scott McGough Heretic: Betrayers of Kamigawa | Scott McGough Guardian: Saviors of Kamigawa | Scott McGough
While I personally listed Guardian as a 9/10, I figured I should keep the entire Kamigawa Cycle together. This is the story of Toshiro Umezawa, everyone's favorite fuckup self-centered protagonist dealing with the consequences of his and everyone else's actions. There were a couple times when something was referenced that didn't make sense in the setting (such as angels, Hell, or pixies), and you can definitely feel the "early 2000s white man writing a Japanese setting based on vibes alone" emanating from most of the pages, but I had a good time calling Toshi a dumbfuck over and over again.
9/10 - Very Very Good
None applicable (besides aforementioned Guardian).
10/10 - Unironically Recommend To Everyone
The Tale of Despereaux | Kate DiCamillo
In my book club, we randomly pulled this one as the one for all of us to read at the same time, and let me tell you, this book hits different when you're a queer young adult in your early twenties than it clearly hit the grown women in their 50+'s. Great book, absolutely adorable, and I love the fact that we accidentally timed it to coincide with the release of Bloomburrow.
Scaredy Squirrel: In a Nutshell | Melanie Watt
Yes, this is an Easy-level book. But somehow, this squirrel with anxiety and possibly OCD (yes, I'm projecting slightly, I kept going "he's just like me for real" aloud when I read it) is now one of my favorite fictional guys. And when he was having a meltdown, the other characters actually gave him space and respected his boundaries. Do you know how impossible that is to find in fiction? One of my favorite books now, hands down.

ATTIC GOBLIN ?
YEAH SO when we moved in there was like this wadded up pair of pink panties in the basement that hadnt been there a few days before when we did our final walkthrough or whatever right. and then my fuzzy socks would go missing and some leggings and then our fucking FORKS which were DISCONTINUED so we cant even replace them!!!!! also the toilet paper would run out like super fast and i drink A Lot of diet dr pepper so i DO pee a lot but this was just fucken ridiculous!!!!! anyway so our one old roommate suggested ghost but me n polks were like fuck off this is OUR house!!
anyway so one day im slumped down on the couch w earbuds in having a good time and my friend kos comes downstairs to brew his sleepy ass some fresh shit tier coffee at like 5pm on a weekday. tbh i was talking about one of my homebrew blorbos being harassed and having just a great time with it so i didnt want to speak to anyone and just EXTREMELY avoided eye contact n sank as deep as i could into the bigass pillows of our honestly very nice goodwill upper middle class grandma couch. the point of that is when you walk downstairs and turn into the kitchen you cant really see me at this angle and i am DEAD SILENT bc my keyboard was apparently made of marshmallows or smth AND im metal gear box stealth mode trying to not be noticed here so i can talk about my barbies being menaced uninterrupted.
SO because of all that when kos came back downstairs for his coffee which had been brewing for probably not very long but i was in the Blorbo Zone where time is fake so i couldnt in good faith give an estimate he did NOT see me. well while hes in the kitchen puttering around i just start losing my shit on account of my blorbarbies in agonies brings me Such Joys and i think this startled him so bad he has to take a stress shower because i heard the bathroom door SLAM and the water start running. at some point after this polks comes home from work and starts pissed off nagging us over WHO MADE THIS COFFEE MESS IN MY KITCHEN!! kos comes downstairs for the Commotions and apparently the coffee pot was sitting on the counter with some fresh coffees while the rest of it fresh waterfalled all into our silverware and pots n pans spaces HOWEVER!! MYSTERY TIME!! he has not been downstairs since he started brewing his trash sludge.
INTERMISSION: THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT OUR HOUSE: the back door is literally INCHES from the downstairs bathroom. the attic is not a panel or ceiling access its just a door right by all our bedroom doors and it wont latch which was So Annoying bc the cats were UNREASONABLE THIRSTY to get up there so we had to install a loop n hook latch to keep it shut but whichever one of us did that goofed it up pretty bad bc the door is still perpetually cracked open like probably a full inch and a half. id love to take the credit for this but i think it was polks who is absolutely phenomenal at fucking up installations of things. OTHER NOTABLE THINGS ABOUT POLKS: her single biggest fear on this planet is shit like Crawlspace Man. just Some Guy living in your home without you knowing. also we have a dark little crawlspace down in the basement, for ambience
MOVING ON at this point i still dont give a shit about anything happening around me because i am inflicting sufferings upon my from scratch blorbo BUT my brain is putting the pieces together which i then immediately do a toddler vs 1000 piece puzzle it took you a year to assemble and just totally waste that shit from my thinkspace bc i wanna play DOLLS instead. polks and kos are also putting their little pieces together but they are Not braindead dipstick idiots like yours truly so they decide to check the whole haus bottom up, starting with the crawlspace. great news! the crawlspace is empty!! other older news: i def heard the cabinet ruining coffee fuckuper come down from upstairs.
i forgot to mention that for this househunt polks armed herself with our fucking broom and was wielding it handle side out because It Has Reach and a knife would Escalate The Situation. anyway they make their way upstairs and i am doing absolute jackshit nothing to help because, again, i am fucking brain poisoned to prioritize oc cummies over every single thing on this planet. its in my fucking genetic code. so while im fuckin useless theyre up there talking about how fucking weird this is and scuffling around or whatever but the second they go into the attic its dead silent and NOT because they go silent but because the attic is some fucked up sound void and past the first 3 steps you can hear total fuck all from outside. at this point my little toddler brain realizes this puzzle is actually indestructible so when kos and polkie are out of the void audible again i Already Knew i had to start being a fucking adult instead of playing barbies which DID feel like a personal affront.
tbh i dont even remember how polks reacted bc i was so CMON MAN!! at our attic dweller for cucking me bc now i gotta call the fuckin cops AND change the locks AND i still gotta get up at 420 in the mother blessed am for work, so basically this entire stunt was a hate crime against me specifically.
we dont really go in our attic much and never even bothered fetching the cats when they went up there but we HAD been up there before so when i went up there and saw fuckin blankets and takeout containers and also some clothes stuffed into drafty holes it was like, kind of Obvious that yeah some bitch was stealing my forks and not paying rent and eating all my toilet paper and FOR SOME REASON had the audacity to ALSO go ahead and pour out a cup of coffee in BROAD DAYLIGHT while we were OBVIOUSLY HOME. the fucking NERVE!!
so!! thats our Event that i honestly forget happened most of the time. we actually refer to them as Attic Dobby i think on account of my THIEVED socks but then of course attic dobby became sexy dobby as is the natural progression of things. we have many big tity dobbie drawings around the house and we love to show them to guests. i may have lost some forks i cant fucking replace so ill never have a matching set again BUT now my house has so many slutty big tit thong and louboutin adorned dobbys that kos and i have bonded so much over drawing that it all evens out in the end and i definitely dont get mad about the forks ever. less important than dobbys big naturals but still notable: exposure therapy works as polks no longer has the Crawlspace Man Terrors!

delphine tsuga fujinami and mitra harker
Tumblr media
del is my thinblood pc and mitra is bandit.bones.dice's ravnos pc in an edinburgh by night chronicle. we're nearing the end of the chronicle and just finished up mitra's individual story arc, and i NEED to talk about them i NEED to
on paper del and mitra are polar opposites: he's an impulsive, charismatic, flamboyant partyboy who has ingratiated himself to both the camarilla and anarchs; she's standoffish, blunt, aloof, bloodthirsty, and wants no part in politics of any kind. but they're both broadly misunderstood--mitra gets a bad rap as a vapid, flaky hedonist and del is assumed to be callously self-serving.
they express it in drastically different ways, but at their cores they're both driven by the profound desire to protect the people they love, and they've seen more and more of this as the chronicle has progressed. they have enough common ground to understand one another but are different enough to temper the other's weaknesses--mitra has less than zero self esteem and del refuses to let him allow his partners to treat him like shit, and mitra drags her kicking and screaming into accepting that she can't do everything herself. he's the first one she tells about her namesake and her blood leech predator type, and she's the first to know about his precious mortal daughter.
and then!! there is ralfy.
ralfy is a brujah anarch and serial fuckup. can't stay out of his own way, botched the embrace of his only childe, constantly on the verge of a masquerade breach due to being a clueless dumbass. the anarchs aren't thrilled about claiming him and the cam sheriff is constantly waiting for an opportunity to ash him for good. ralfy is one of mitra's lovers, and while del knows he's not good enough for mitra she tolerates ralf for his sake.
when another of mitra's lovers--a crazy dangerous ministry independent--tries to coerce mitra into a blood bond, he asks ralfy to bind him instead and keep him safe. not long after, mitra is exposed to a ritual that turns him mortal again for one night only. at the end of the night he dies again, painfully, and goes to ralfy distraught asking for comfort. ralf wants to undergo the ritual himself. mitra reminds him that the bond makes it impossible for him to say no and begs ralfy not to ask him again. ralf asks again, mitra tells him, and leaves. when he tells del what's happened she shows up at ralfy's apartment to kick his ass and trash the place. she tells him he's going to apologize to mitra, then leave him alone until mitra decides he's ready to see ralf's worthless ass again. she tells him he'd better use this time to become the person mitra believes he is.
a few nights later, mitra feels the bond to ralfy snap. ralf's car (stolen) is found on the side of the road riddled with bullet holes and in flames. he tried to run, like a coward. attacker unclear.
mitra is distraught and del is pissed. she feels no remorse in the slightest.
only, ralfy isn't dead. he's been compromised by the sabbat and made the right hand of baali / methuselah petaniqua, who has been after del as a sacrificial lamb since del's mortal birth. petaniqua needs del's estranged fae soul, aelsidhe, to feed to a demon named foebok to fulfill an end times prophecy.
sabbat!ralfy pops up over and over again, causing soooo many problems for the coterie and the city. including but not limited to destroying mitra's club/the coterie's haven; working with del's abusive biological parents to create a horrifying fleshcrafted warehouse; and fully blowing up elysium. meanwhile, mitra's on a quest to earn a rare ravnos weapon crafted by the progenitor himself, and his trial is to either destroy or rescue ralfy. having been indirectly responsible for the deaths of 3 shitty exes already (ralf, driven away by del; ministry lover, killed on del's behest by a primogen; his sire, beheaded by del - all calls that mitra couldn't bring himself to make) mitra wants to save ralfy.
del haaaaaaaaaaaaaaates ralf. he abused her best friend. he's second in command to petaniqua, the monster responsible for every single awful thing that ever happened to her in life and death, who has tried to or succeeded in murdering everyone del has ever loved. he worked alongside her abusive bio parents. he's sabbat. and for some goddamned reason mitra sees something worth saving in him.
del will never forgive ralfy. she thinks he should've killed himself rather than bow to petaniqua's power. like she did. she thinks he's a spineless worm who lacks the desire or willpower to change. but mitra wants to save him, and she loves mitra more than she hates ralf.
so when the time comes, and ralf's pack is destroyed and he's been exorcised of the demon petaniqua bound to him, she cedes to mitra's wishes and lets ralf go. and it could only be for mitra--she loves the rest of the coterie too, but she wouldn't have been able to let ralfy walk even for them. only for him. even when petaniqua's last trick via ralfy was to disguise one of her minions as del's late mortal sister--the sister petaniqua herself had murdered by del's sire--she lets him go. she lets him go!!!!!!!!!! most spiteful vengeance-driven hatergirl lover of violence stands there and watches while her enemy walks himself into a fresh new life. do you get it yet do you understand

been playing more Disco Elysium because no matter how bad i feel about work, i could not be as much of a fuckup as Harrier Dubois if i tried, so it really offers some much-needed perspective
anyway just got to the second day finally (yes it takes me 100 years to play video games, shhh lmao) and today i am thinking and talking with friends (hiii Vincent) about Evrart Clair
in spite of myself, i am quite fond of him, tbh. he’s a lot of fun.
and i think he’s really interesting because, well... and i mean granted i am only two days in, so, you know, this is a very uninformed opinion, but from what i’ve seen so far... he’s a slimy little skeeze who loves to line his own pockets, but he does also seem to have some pretty firm ideological convictions re: all the union stuff, and most importantly i think is that he puts his money where his mouth is, so to speak.
and like, is he necessarily a good leader, or someone i’d want to work with personally? no, lmao. the man is corrupt as hell. he’s slimy as a hagfish. but he gets shit done.
and i think honestly that Martinaise, in the position it’s in right now, needs someone like Evrart. like, Martinaise is a shithole. Martinaise looks like the revolution was six months ago, not multiple fucking decades. no one’s even fixed the bullet holes! the place is rotting. it’s been left to die, an orphan district that nobody wants to deal with.
whether or not the RCM as an institution is effective at solving problems, helping citizens, and keeping them safe - and whether or not the nature of policing is that it will inherently result in an order-keeping arm of the most conservative version of the government in power that will be used to keep the status quo through intimidation and violence and the use of the apparatus of the state carceral system against the populace, or if it truly CAN be about restorative justice and community maintenance - aside, they don’t even try with Martinaise. nobody wants to go there! everybody is too busy trying not to get stuck with the trash assignment to actually give a shit about the place.
so you end up with a lawless wasteland of poverty and ruin where people still live, and therefore there needs to be some degree of management of their community and resources. the RCM won’t step in, so the union fills that vacuum.
and clearly, like i said, Evrart is in this to line his own pockets and see to his own comfort. he’s corrupt. his union has a solid core of militant thugs who seem to want to fuck shit up and get away with it, and it’s a matter of whether or not he can hold their leashes and direct them one way or the other.
but like... he’s doing that. the union is the one actually doing the work here. Evrart is the one making the decisions and getting things done. and in a situation with a place like Martinaise, well, there’s really no way to run things without getting your hands dirty. the whole district is knee deep in the mud, so anyone who actually wants to be an effective leader has to be willing to flop down and wrestle in it, and Evrart is.
and frankly, i don’t think that martyrs make good leaders. someone willing to die and sacrifice anything for their ideological cause is going to feed themselves and everyone following them into a woodchipper. but the average person on the street doesn’t want to be fed into a woodchipper for the glory of The Cause, they just want to live their goddamn lives.
Evrart is not a man who is going to step into the woodchipper. he has a vested interest in keeping the area safe (for a certain definition of safety) and prosperous (for a certain definition of prosperity) because he’s tied his own comfort and wellbeing to it. the thing about a man who lines his pockets because he’s in charge is that there’s nothing to line them with if everything goes completely to shit.
so he’s the one actually in there doing the work. he’s the one actually making an effort. which i don’t think means he shouldn’t be critiqued at all, lmao, There Are Many Problems With His Character Actions Behaviors And Approach, but i have to respect it, because nobody else is there doing it, and even his slimy, corrupt, bribe-laden, back alley dealing way of doing it is better than nobody doing anything at all other than sitting around jacking off over a copy of Das Kapital because no possible action is morally or ideologically pure enough to take.

Took out Fuckface McGee with my sister so I've almost wrapped up Sojiro's social link. Some social workers came to look into the uncle's claims of abuse, but Reverie and Futaba stood by their dad, and then Sojiro cried because YOU ARE MY DAAAAD, YOURE MY DAD BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE
so happy for the Sakuras, esp Reverie Vantas-Sakura.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hahahha I fucking knew it.
I mean not that it was cleverly hidden but Futaba went back over the data and basically confirmed everythiiiiing. After Kaneshiro, someone hacked the Phansite and inflated the approval rating and rigged the rankings. It was all a ploy to put the Thieves into position to be the fall guys with Okumura.
So as I was saying: Everything is Mishima's fault. How the fuck does the site admin not recognize sloppily hacked-together code that's making changes to the key features? Like, oh my god. Mishima, you're such a fuckup and everything is your fault.
Tumblr media
l m a o i do love this moment. No dialogue, just Ryuji realizing he's been fucking played. All the excitement and fame and his insistence that they had to go after Okumura because of the rankings, all of it falls like scales from Ryuji's eyes right here.
ya done fucked up, son
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The SIU Director is like. diabolically evil lmao. They don't even try to make him anything but. He's moustache-twirly. I keep rolling my goddamn eyes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
goddamn maruki can you be a little more subtle, like just a big. just a nudge. "YANNO it's okay if your memories are lies so long as they make you happy! 8D!" bruh
Anyway, it's the school festival and the school votes on who they want to be the guest speaker (is that a thing?) and the school overwhelmingly votes for Akechi.
Tumblr media
goddamn, the ghost of you fuckin lingers, huh
Tumblr media Tumblr media
are you reverie's wife now? wait, no, that's wrong. is reverie your wife now? there, that's better.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Shido is the big bad, right? Like, he's the guy who framed Reverie in the first place, the symmetry of fiction demands he be the final dude Reverie goes up against (until Maruki finds a way to fucketh everything up). Okumura was going into politics, by removing him, did we remove the only hurdle standing between Shido and being the new PM and he's Super Evil?
What I find slightly frustrating at this point, structurally, is that I have zero idea or indication what the baddies actually want out of this. They are killing people and presumably want to use the Metaverse to control the population, but do they have, like, a guiding philosophy or something? Or is it just power for power's sake, because that's boring.
NO IDEA. We know fuck all!
Tumblr media
Is that a lie?
lmao what am i saying, nothing Akechi says is an absolute truth, is it?
It's funny because Akechi is..... extremely good at what he does? Not the detective thing, frankly we've had zero indication of his actual intellectual acumen in that arena. But as a double agent, he could be an Ocelot, frankly.
OH MAN THAT'S WHAT HE REMINDS ME OF, HOLY SHIT. Young Revolver Ocelot, Adamska. Oh yeah that's the vibe. Except with worse fashion and much worse hair. About as homosexual though.
Tumblr media
ANYWAY AT THE SCHOOL FESTIVAL, THE GANG IS HANGING OUT ALONE AND AKECHI ROLLS UP AND SAYS THIS
"EVERYONE'S ALL HERE"???? lmao he knows and he isn't even being subtle about it anymore
Tumblr media
omg and futaba fucking notices it too LMAO THAT'S GREAT i'm so happy it was intentional phrasing, hahaha that's amazing
Anyway, at the guest speaker panel, Makoto is moderating, and uses the opportunity to press Akechi for info about the case.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
omg he's just gonna come out and say it
oh my god yes bitch do it, light the rag and chuck that molotov right into this whole trash fire, it can burn so much faster
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THIS FUCKING BITCH
he's not as good as Adachi but I gotta say he's pretty fucking good lmao. Every time there's a Beige Alert, you know things are going to be interesting at least.
But also this is the equivalent to putting a gun to the Thieves' head. Love it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Never play a player, Makoto.
Anyway with that obviously faked phone call, Akechi calls a 10 minute break and asks to see everyone in a private room where he will humbly serve everyone a helping of their own ass, I assume.

Shepard was at it again. She’d carried the weight of the galaxy for too long and her knees had given out, and she didn’t handle fucking up half as well as the rest of the fuckups on the crew. Mordin had a hand in fucking up the krogan and he was jolly well and good, singing to himself all the time. Jack was just all kinds of fucked up, but at least the girl knew how to have a good time doing it. Thane and Samara both had fucked up their kids, and they were atoning for it with peace and dignity and a whole lot of righteous murder. Hell, Miranda practically bathed in her fuckups. Garrus – well. He was the exception, not the rule.
And him – he wore his fuckups where the world could see them, same as Garrus, but at least he didn’t take it out on the poor ship. No, Zaeed had his own stress relief in the form of his big, smashy trash compactor. He loved that goddamn thing.

i need hua cheng to cry about getting cheated on tbh, dude's entire world is collapsing in on itself and he needs to find a reason to live outside of his made up dianxia image...can u imagine the midlife crisis that will spawn from that?
and listen...mu qing needs to be at least a little bit regretful...more than xl even cause that would be funny if he regrets it more than xie lian (who also feels like trash but he also has learned to own up to his fuckups and knows he did this consciously and no one really pressured him into it) and feels like trash but also continuously doubles down because he cannot admit he fucked up
and feng xin is the only one who calls him out on it because he knows mu qing can be BETTER than this but mu qing just goes for the jugular and starts screaming at him and projecting wildly (but he isn't that far off from the truth because their issues are mirrors anyway), i just love the idea of everyone imploding all around xie lian who is just sitting in the corner like "ah....I fucked up..." *doesn't know whether to cry or laugh*
IT WOULD BE SUCH A CRISIS FOR HC!!!!!! he said himself he would never oppose xie lian's decisions but..... at some point he has to realize that his idolization of xie lian isnt working for him anymore either..... how can he pretend to not care when he knows what xie lian is doing? maybe he would try to convince himself it was okay as long as xie lian was happy but then how could he love xl as as much as he says he does if he sits back while xl sleeps around? if he truly feels no jealousy at all does he even care? but he does care and he would be jealous and hurt and it would kind of break him 😬 i dont think he would be able to carry on if xl didnt immediately backpedal and even if he tried to things still wouldnt ever be the same.... i predict hc exploding into an anguished swarm of butterflies and slowly putting himself back together piece by painful piece.
tbh i think mq would actually admit to fucking up. i was just rereading the book 4 rice scene and he does admit to being wrong during the 31 officials incident and apologizes for it. and during the book 5 bridge chapter he brings it up again and says he was wrong and apologizes again even though xl doesnt care about it anymore. so i think it would be more about all of them grappling with it as they move forward. and this would be complicated because it would just be him who fucked up and i do think xl would admit to fucking up too so that adds a layer. and it would take a little while to get to that point because emotions would he running very high. and xl would be there in the middle like "i thought had experienced the true depths of despair before when my kingdom fell into plague and drought and civil war and i lost everything and all hope and died 40 times but this is actually a new level of mental anguish and sorrow i didnt know was possible to feel" <- guy who is experiencing his first ever break up and infidelity emotions at the same time
feng xin i think would be in disbelief at first i think he would be in shock because he thought everything was good now and the trio is back together and the relationships are fixed and even improved and he would be hurt by mu qing doing anything to ruin that when he really did think better of mu qing than that
in conclusion..... WHAT A MESS!!!!

I'm going to say something that will sound insane to you probably at first but stick with me here okay? ring: the legend of the Nibelungen actually IMPROVED some parts of the original opera mkay? it did some things BETTER (...at least the first game I think the second is just trash and honestly Siegfried deserved better even though in the opera he's an insufferable brat).
the best example for the improvements for me is honestly alberich, which yes what an original take but hear me out: in the opera, alberich only ends up stealing the rhinegold because he can't get that rhinemaiden pusspuss so he's like "whatever I'll just steal the gold then I can BUY bitches >:(" and you know the whole time the rhinemaidens insult him and tell him how ugly he is...and well...wagner was an antisemite so a lot of it boils down to "OH MY GOD HE HAS DARK CURLY HAIR??? DISGUSTING!" which yeah- uncomfortable. and you know I feel like despite the silly moments cryo made alberich more threatening and way less of an anti-semitic caricature. in the game the RHINEMAIDENS approach him, offering him...their time and he rejects them because from the first moment on his goal is power and control (...marina and the diamonds moment). he's actually a way more timeless villain that way and comparable to evil people in our own world- like seriously the mines in Nibelheim and an amazon warehouse are basically the same thing right? it also captures the initial message of ring better that capitalism and authority are bad, as much as wagnerians try to deny that.
it's honestly a shame that ring 2 was such a fuckup because believe it or not the original game had potential and worth and I would've loved to see how the story ACTUALLY continues. in general Arxel tribe's thing of taking these old stories that everyone has grown tired of and giving them a new, fresh approach is just so neat and it's a shame that...they stopped being good at it HIHGSGSUI
anyway sorry for the long ask I have a ringworm in my brain
Nah anon I was thinking the same. Removing antisemitic context (I mean there are some hints of it but I guess he kinda looks like the austrian painter too) of Alberich was great move on their part. Hope Wagner in hell is seething that bunch of ppl are now thinking character based on his racial caricature is the coolest villain.
Tho I'm still not getting Alberich the proletariat take.
I wish there was any info about how they were planning the sequel to be. What's up with Isha, the galactic war, entire twilight of the gods etc? I would give as much for that info as for design documents of faust Also designs in 2 are such a downgrade Wotan probably got it worst.

176.a - I hate my job and here's why
I really want out of my job. My bosses are abusive boomer trash. For one, they’re both self-hating. One is a self hating woman as well as a self hating Mexican. The other is a self hating black man. It’s fucking willy wonka bat shittery. Then there’s the issue of I haven’t been given a raise in five fucking years. I got overlooked for two promotions earlier this year. I am disliked by both the VP and the Superintendent because they’re lazy fucking children who spend more time complaining loudly about doing their six figure jobs than actually doing them. And they don’t like getting called out for that - which I do when their lack of doing fucks with my work. Which is more often than I’d like.
My job is = I run software that an entire 800 sqft city based facility depends on. My recent beef is my piece of shit boomer Superintendent boss absolutely refuses to give me administrator rights to the full facility ware AND he doesn’t understand how it works at all. The lack of access and this fundamental lack of understanding has created a recent world of shitty problems for me and our department in that the software is now completely and totally offline - and has been as of writing this for six fucking weeks. I can’t get into it to check maintenances. My trades who do the maintenances can’t get into it to record their work and get their assignments. The city says we are contractually obligated to have this software up and functioning and it’s down. This isn’t the first major fuckup on this system due to my boss, btw. This is just the latest of a line of major fuckups.
Speaking of my scumbag six figure making MAGA loving boomer boss - we are offline and no where close to being up and running because he didn’t understand the software’s vendor split into two entities. I’m not even sure when they did that since I don’t get those emails. He does and doesn’t share that information. But he didn’t know at all - which is infuriating because the software vendor most definitely told him. He also didn’t understand that the software we are running is 8+ years past upgrade. It’s so old that the original vendor’s contract split up sending the “classic” version of the software to a totally different support team. A totally different team than what he just spent $26,000 of the Los Angeles taxpayer’s money on. I tried to explain the vendor split to him when I figured it out back in July this year but he just gaslit me, “Oh yea I talked to them.” Fucking control freak sack of shit.
So what’s transpired here is the dinosaur software my boss refuses to upgrade, despite paying to upgrade two-fucking years ago, is now being outsourced. AND if he wants to continue running the old software in our facility then he needs to pay for the new outsourced vendor to run the classic system. The only problem with this is he’s too proud to admit he is a fuck up. (See boomer things.) He doesn’t want to admit he wasted $26,000 of taxpayer money on the new version of the software that he has spent two-years refusing to implement, for whatever reason. And, btw, I told him back in 2020 that then was the time to upgrade the system and train our teams on it because everything was slow af then. I guess he heard me because he bought the upgrade around then but was probably offended I had the idea and not him? Or he’s just afraid of software in general. I honestly can’t figure out why he would buy the new version, pay for a full migration, pay for departmental training, and just sit on it. He didn’t tell anyone he bought it, too! I only know about it because my friend in the financial dept. showed me the POs.
So the software our facility is dependent on is down. Has been for six weeks due to my boss being afraid of new software and ignoring contractual agreements. Also due to the fact that his boss, the VP of Operations, has her head so far up his ass that I’m not sure if her hair is naturally brown or it’s just shit colored. I have sidelined her and told her the issue briefly but because I am not her equal she honestly can’t be bothered to hear that I have words coming out of my mouth. She would prefer to pretend I’m a potted plant in the office lobby rather than an equal human being. Essentially she just covers up the Superintendent’s fuckups and often knowingly stands by while he lays blame on other teams. As a recent example, the city requires a quarterly report on our software usage. I told my bosses to ask for an extension since the ware is down. They both ignored me and falsified a full ass quarterly report and sent that in, instead. Yea. Corrupt.
Ultimately, this has been a $26,000 fuck up and instead of owning up to the fuck up and telling my company’s CFO that he fucked up - we are now without the software while my boss lies to my equally as shady VP of Operations, the city, and the rest of the staff that “the software’s down because the company fucked the migration up.” A fucking hilarious lie when thinking about how he had me write up and implement a new training session for the new hires on the old software two-days before it completely went down. Especially hilarious because when they asked me to do the training I said, “Why? We’re about to lose the old version any day now.” And they just shrugged, blinked blankly, and walked away.
I am honestly debating telling the CFO everything, thereby nuking my position there fully. I hate my bosses that much.

(I know you've read a lot of romance books and I hope this is an appropriate question) Can you please rec me books with male leads who are kind of mischievous, charming and get along with others well? I'm thinking of book!Colin Bridgerton, or maybe Nikolai from S&B and (I dunno if you've read this, hopefully yes) Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. I feel like that's really difficult to come by and really need some help!
Not inappropriate at all, and I think I have some recs for you!
A Week to Be Wicked by Tessa Dare--My favorite romance novel Colin, personally. A rake, very charming, and everyone likes him except for the heroine, who thinks he's trash. Is he trash? He does dry hump her until they both come and justifies it with "there's a sheet between us so it's not sex", so like... perhaps. Makes a joke about her being a sword swallower while they're disguised as circus performers.
Duke Most Wicked by Lenora Bell--Out 9/27 and has a hero a lot like this. He kicks off the book trying to reform himself because he's like.. run out of money, lol.
The Lady Gets Lucky by Joanna Shupe--It's actually a part of the hero's development in this one. He knows everyone likes him, but they don't take him seriously. And he wants them to!!! But also, he's gonna teach the hero some seduction lessons becauuuuse she has something he wants and a deal's a deal.
The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh--This is a "you wanna see a real party?" book, where the hero is taking the heroine around town to show her a good time while she tries to help him find a wife. He does wear eyeliner and write poetry. It's great.
Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas--The hero of this book has all his father's charm and none of his father's tendency to kidnap women. Accidentally compromises the heroine, and is like "well obviously I'll marry her" but plot twist! She doesn't wanna marry himmmm.
Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas--Leo Hathaway is a reformed rake type, very snarky, has gotten over serious angst by the time his book has come around. The heroine is the only person who has damage with him because they're in an enemies to lovers dance. Especially good because while he's fun and witty in the streets, he's quite dominant in the sheets.
Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas--Another "fun-loving man who's great at parties meets local woman who can't stand him" book, but with the twist that she's an author and he's a publisher. Also, she thinks he's the sex worker she ordered to divest her of her virginity at the beginning of the book, and he's like "well I'm not gonna say anything".
Sweetest Scoundrel by Elizabeth Hoyt--Asa Makepeace is the family scoundrel/fuckup (his family is made up of Quakers and he's running a pleasure garden lmao). The heroine is very uptight whereas he's super mischievous and fun.
Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt--As a note, this comes before Sweetest Scoundrel. The heroine is actually Asa's sister. The hero is a pirate king so he's dangerous, but he's also super snarky and charming. He's literally called "Charming Mickey". It is great, one of my favorite romances ever.
Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt--Heroine is engaged to a boring guy and begins an affair with his fun good-time brother who has a bad reputation but is, again, great at parties.
I think a lot of these are like... Colin Bridgerton (book!Colin that is) if Colin fucked hard. Some more than others, lol. But the "good time guy" is totally a romance hero type.

Right Here | Obi Wan Kenobi
summary; Obi Wan gets worried about you when he can't find you.
notes; nightmares/night terror mention, padawan!Obi, gender neutral reader
Obi Wan had been worried since the early hours of the morning when you didn't show up to watch him train, something you always did, and at first he thought it was because you were sneaking around to get tutoring from Din Djarin, a famous bounty hunter who had known your family from a long time and had offered you lessons in self defense some time ago; but when asked, Din had told the young padawan that he had not seen you, either. It seemed as if no one had.
The last place Obi Wan looked was your quarters, and he frowned when he saw you sat on your bed with your knees pulled up to your chest, your forehead resting on them as your arms tightly embraced them; sighing, Obi Wan made his way over to you, and kicked off his boots before sitting beside you, his legs crossed beneath him and his hands in his lap.
“You didn't come to see me train,” he said gently. “I missed you.”
You only hugged your knees tightly. “Sorry...”
“Don't be,” came Obi Wan's reply, “you didn't actually miss much, but... I still missed you. It wasn't the same without you.”
You shrugged, daring to look over at him, which was when the young padawan noticed your eyes; the tiredness behind them, the dark circles that tugged at the skin, painful signs of a night spent tossing and turning. For a moment, you opened your mouth wide, letting out a gruff yawn. “Sorry, I just... didn't sleep well last night.”
His concern only growing, Obi Wan furrowed his brows and nodded slowly. “I can see that much... what was it? The night terrors didn't come back, did they?”
“I don't think so,” you admitted, “no, it's... it's the nightmares, Kenobi.”
His face fell as his expression softened, Obi Wan had known about your nightmares and your night terrors ever since you started sneaking around to pursue a hidden relationship; you had confided in him about them so long ago, and he did his best to understand and to be there. He did his best to help out, and for a few days they had seemed to die down and to go extinct.
But evidently not.
“I thought they went away,” Obi Wan whispered with a sorrowful and remorseful tone, his eyes apologetic and his touch so soft as he coaxed you into his lap, allowing your forehead to press against the side of his neck as he hugged you tightly, closing his eyes when you returned the gesture, wrapping your arms tightly around him. “I am so sorry, (y/n), my love... is there anything I can do?”
You fell silent for a few moments, relaxing into his embrace, it was always easier to sleep when he was nearby, he grounded you, and on nights where you woke up covered in sweat with wild eyes and a heaving chest, scared out of your wits and terrified out of your own skin, Obi Wan was the one that could pull you back. It didn't always work, sometimes you would need some time to snap back on your own, but for the most part, it did. “Could you... could you stay here? For tonight, I mean... could you stay?”
Nodding, Obi Wan squeezed you a little as he sighed heavily. “Of course I can... anything for you, my love.” He shifted to lie down, letting your arms retract in favour of your hands going to his chest, clutching the brown cloak tightly. “I'll be right here, all night.”

we finished the bleach anime. it was alright, the ending definitely suffered from the problems every shounen anime inherently does towards the end. i hear the manga actually continues to escalate after this, i might be interested in seeing what that looks like since i hear the anime is coming back. im pretty disappointed in a couple things though. we didnt get to see nel again, which is just utter bullshit. after she transformed, she had her little fight and Lost. and then we never saw her again. i consider that a plot hole to be honest. to my knowledge, we didnt even see orihime heal her. she was a fantastic and fun character, she needed more time to be her self. her little self, if you ask me. another thing, they killed gin like right after the first time he ever did anything. he was such an empty character and they never explained him. why would a kid decide to do what he did? what happened to make rangiku love him so much? this dude basically threw his whole life in the trash to pursue one single goal that he could have achieved if he just opened up to the other soul reapers. i cant decide if this was always the plan for his character, or if kubo just forgot about him so long he decided to make him a secret good guy. like, oh this bad guy has never done anything bad... i guess he's a good guy now? he never got any resolution to his character even though the twist was actually pretty cool and it could have been awesome if they bothered to explore it for an episode or two. but they really didnt, it was just a shallow twist even though i sorta saw it coming. i was always defending him to my mom cause he rly never did anything. she hated him cause he was a douche but you have to be kind of a dick to roll with aizen so... anyway the visoreds really fucking suck. we hardly even saw any of them release their zanpaktou, and even though they were incredibly cool characters they never did anything. hiyori was an amazing character, with a lot of personality and great jokes. who never did anything. she was literally around only so she could job to ichigo once or twice in training, and fail at every single thing she ever does. shinji was the most developed visored, and he didnt do anything. his release was cool but we never saw his bankai. when they revealed that he was a captain, it was a really big surprise! but he never ever measured up to the best of the current captains. kenpachi would destroy him. byakuya would destroy him. he might be able to win against toshiro or the badger guy, but i kind of doubt it. he has to have a bankai to be a captain but he never even tried to use it on aizen, who he has a fucking super grudge against. the dude ruined his life and permanently changed his friends. he got him sentenced to death! but shinji couldnt do anything, anything at all against aizen. to be honest, he seemed a lot weaker than mashiro who was an actual joke character. then, and i consider this another plot hole, they game kaname a resurreccion. the fact that he, as a visored, has a bankai and a resurreccion strongly implies that EVERY visored has one. including ichigo himself. and shinji, hiyori, mashiro, all of the visored crew. so the fact that we never see any of the visoreds bankai OR resurreccion..
why even have them fight? we have interesting characters who dont fight in this show, why even bother? i dont get it. the coolest and best character in bleach, in the whole show, turned out to be ikkaku madarame. who initially appeared to be a fuckup only meant for ichigo to waste an episode or two on. the guy has an interesting set of priciples, he has a distinct goal and not to mention a really cool underused bankai. we only saw it once, but it was amazing and it really suits him. he was such a cool guy and he doesnt get to do anything either. he had 1 real fight against an arrancar who to my knowledge wasnt an espada. but hiyori? nothing. she fought a couple fractiones and couldnt even beat any of those alone. not even 1 of them. those fractiones probably had better backstory than she did. urahara was really mysterious through most of the show. im not sure if i really like his motives more than i liked him as a mysterious force pushing the plot forward for unknowable reasons. yoruichi was never ever explained, like at all. her motive was just that she wanted to help urahara. like i get rescuing him from his death sentence, i get wanting to help the visoreds. but she left everything for him? she really never got to be her own person after that. she was a shallow character. and another super power character who never lost, but doesnt have a fucking bankai! what!!! if she or urahara whipped out their bankai the show would have just been over. seriously they always could have beaten aizen, up until he became a monster by fusing with the hogyoku. even then probably! they NEVER lost a single fight!!! how am i supposed to believe they couldnt play a bigger role, or even solve the problem themselves? i dont even think i ever saw them seriously injured. they're invincible, over a hundred years old, definitely have bankais but never use them... but they spend all of their time manipulating people into doing their work for them.

AND  they  lived  happily  ever  after  .  just  kidding  ,  mr.  liberman  died  in  a  car  crash  when  stone  was  ten  years  old  ,  and  his  loss  really  broke  his  mother  .  she  grieved  the  best  way  she  knew  how  :  by  drinking  a  lot  and  getting  remarried  less  than  a  year  after  losing  her  husband  .  and  then  getting  remarried  5  more  times  after  that  . stone  actually  gets  along  really  well  with  most  of  his  mom’s  ex-husbands  ,  and  is  still  friends  with  some  of  them  even  after  elena  eventually  ditches  them  .  stone  also  claims  not  to  remember  his  dad  ,  but  actually  does  and  really  misses  him  and  the  family  they  were  specially  .
in  regards  of  family  ,  his  dad  had  2  kids  before  marrying  his  mom  ,  and  his  mom  had  one  after  losing  his  dad  so  he  has  plenty  of  siblings  .  he  isn’t  particularly  close  to  them  since  they  never  saw  much  of  each  other  growing  up  ,  but  he  is  very  close  to  his  little  sister  ,  who’s  13  and  just  as  chaotic  as  he  is  but  definitely  a  lot  smarter  .  he  loves  her  to  pieces  even  though  sometimes  he  thinks  she’s  satan  hiding  inside  a  teenage  girl’s  body  .
okay  ,  so  ,  as  previously  mentioned  ,  stone  views  life  in  a  ‘before  dad  &  after  dad’  kinda  way  ,  in  regards  that  childhood  before  his  father  died  was  amazing  ,  they  were  always  travelling  and  going  to  cool  spots  and  having  fun  .  his  mom  was  awesome  &  he  loved  his  dad  to  pieces  and  he  never  had  to  go  to  school  .  life  was  like  ,  perfect  .  and  then  his  dad  died  and  his  mother  was  such  a  mess  .  she  was  having  such  a  hard  time  dealing  with  losing  him  that  she  honestly  couldn’t  give  stone  the  affection  and  structure  he  needed  ,  so  he  was  mostly  left  behind  in  the  chicago  house  with  babysitters  and  homeschool  teachers  while  his  mom  was  off  working  and  getting  married  .  he  doesn’t  really  hold  a  grudge  or  anything  ,  but  he’s  definitely  not  as  close  to  his  mom  because  of  it  ,  it’s  like  he  can’t  really  connect  with  her  anymore  .
stone  never  went  to  college  ,  his  mom  had  to  actually  pay  for  his  high  school  diploma  because  she  didn’t  want  him  to  be  a  dropout  ,  and  stone  spent  most  of  his  life  with  zero  life  prospects  ,  all  he  did  for  a  while  was  spend  his  parent’s  money  and  get  super  fucked  up  .  that  being  said  ,  he’s  really  shaped  up  the  last  couple  of  years  &  ran  with  the  passion  he  had  for  photography  .  he’s  quite  a  bit  more  serious  about  it  than  most  people  know  ,  and  has  shot  big  pieces  for  mags  like  time  and  rolling  stone  ,  but  he  doesn’t  really  want  anyone  creating  expectations  about  him  so  he  usually  keeps  quiet  .  ALSO  because  he’s  having  sex  with  a  bunch  of  models  who  he  definitely  shouldn’t  be  associating  with  ,  so  he  likes  to  keep  a  low  profile  .
growing  up  and  to  this  day  ,  stone  never  minded  the  attention  he  got  from  being  a  hollywood  baby  .  he  just  was  never  bothered  by  it  ,  and  even  like  makes  it  a  game  to  see  how  many  paps  he  can  gather  by  going  out  to  get  groceries  or  to  some  fancy  sushi  place  all  the  celebs  are  going  to  .  he’s  basically  an  attention  wh*re  ,  we  hate  him  .
ALSO  he  is  a  daddy  !  literally  has  a  five  year  old  son  who’s  called  bodhi  .  there’s  a  lot  of  drama  with  his  mother  so  he  doesn’t  get  to  see  him  very  often  ,  but  he  loves  bodhi  very  much  and  is  a  pretty  good  dad  ?  not  the  best  ,  but  he  tries  really  hard  to  be  good  actually  .
𝐈𝐈𝐈.  𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘
stone  is  generally  a  great  person  to  be  around  if  you’re  looking  for  a  good  time  ,  he’s  always  up  to  something  fun  and  anything  you  wanna  do  that  most  people  would  consider  crazy  ,  stone  is  the  guy  that  will  say  hell  yea  and  not  think  twice  to  do  it  with  you  .  he  loves  to  be  surrounded  by  people  and  is  just  a  party  animal  .
he’s  also  super  chill  .  crazy  chill  .  too  chill  .  nothing  gets  him  mad  ,  like  ,  nothing  .  usually  that  annoying  dude  who  will  tell  you  to  calm  down  when  you’re  arguing  and  make  you  wanna  choke  him  .  the  least  threatening  dude  you  will  ever  meet  .
just  a  cool  dude  to  have  around  overall  ,  like  people  are  always  having  fun  when  they’re  around  him  .
but  ...  has  NO  moral  compass  ,  not  even  a  single  ounce  of  it  .  he  is  the  most  opportunistic  person  .  will  100%  do  whatever  it  takes  to  get  things  to  go  his  way  ,  and  has  no  concern  about  how  his  actions  affect  others  .  he  usually  thinks  since  nothing  bothers  him  ,  he  can  do  whatever  he  wants  to  everyone  else  and  no  one  will  mind  .
kinda  a  nice  douchebag  ?  he’s  really  charming  and  nice  and  cool  but  will  probably  screw  you  over  at  least  once  in  your  life  ,  maybe  more  if  you  let  him  ngl  .

𝐕.  𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃  𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒 
best  friend  :  someone  who’s  been  there  for  stone  through  pretty  much  everything  and  vice  versa  ,  knows  all  his  fuckups  and  either  tries  to  get  him  to  become  a  better  human  being  or  just  fucks  up  right  along  with  him  .    
half  sibling  :  they’re  kinda  awkward  in  that  …  cousins  at  family  get  together  type  of  way  ?  stone  doesn’t  particularly  see  this  person  as  his  actual  sibling  and  they  neither  love  nor  hate  each  other  ,  it’s  just  rly  awkward  .
skinny  love  :  they’re  like  …  the  relationship  that  never  was  ?  they  both  cared  about  one  another  ,  but  for  some  reason  didn’t  end  up  together  so  now  ….  weirdness  happens  ?  they  dont  really  know  where  they  stand  with  one  another  n  might  still  care  but  it  doesn’t  seem  like  it’s  gonna  happen  .
exes  on  good  or  bad  terms  :  like  previously  mentioned  ...  stone  is  kinda  an  asshole  ,  so  his  relationships  mostly  end  up  not  in  the  best  way  possible  ?  that  being  said  ,  he  can  sometimes  be  decent  ,  so  maybe  there  could  be  relationships  that  end  up  in  a  generally  positive  note  ?  possibly  .
CHEATING  PLOTS  :  honestly  stone  might  be  the  king  of  cheating  ?  he  just  doesn’t  care  ?  he’s  such  an  asshole  .  this  doesn’t  even  have  to  be  romantic  either  ?  he  could  have  hooked  up  with  someone  his  friend  liked  or  someone’s  MOM  ,  like  .  he  just  cheats  everyone  on  everything  all the  time  . 
first  love  :  the  person  who  he  thought  was  going  to  give  him  the  romance  that  his  mom and  dad  had  ,  could  have  ended  on  good  or  bad  terms  but  he  always  holds  a  special  place  in  his  heart  for  them  . 
flings  or  fwbs  :  he  probably  has  plenty  of  those  because  stone  is  at  a  phase  in  life  where  he  doesnt  really  believe  in  monogamy ?  i’m  serious  i  hate  him  .  he  probably  has  a  bunch  of  flings  and  not  gonna  lie  ,  he  could  be  stringing  some  of  them  along  just  because  i  love  me  some  drama  .
platonic  siblingish  friendship  :  someone  he  doesn’t  even  think  about  being   with  .  probably  someone  he  kind  of  sees  like  a  sibling  and  is  just  really  protective  about  . 
party  pals  :  they  don’t  really  have  much  in  common  ,  but  they  have  a  great  time  whenever  there  are  parties  and  fun  adventures  around  .
bad  blood  :  stone  doesn’t  really  hate  anyone  ,  but  there  are  definitely  people  he’s  uncomfortable  around  or  who’s  presence  he’s  really  not  fond  of  ?  possibly  a  lot  of  cold  shouldering  and  some  snarky  remarks  ,  nothing  to  extreme  though  .
okay  so  i  feel  like  this  ran  a  little  long  .  it  probably  did  .  a  lot  of  it  was  recycled  from  my  old  intro  but  yall  still  wouldnt  believe  how  long  that  took  me  .  so  like  this  if  u  hate  stone  &  lets  plot  !
