we talking about some sex update?

[hyenagurl]

bisexual men tend to be extremely hot in personality and outer appearance to me, but ive decided that many of them at their core are DEMONS and i am now going to be biphobic towards them and them alone. my first boyfriend was bisexual and was raped by his older boyfriend and was then kind enough to pass on what his boyfriend did to him onto me, when he wasnt trying to get me to do heroin with him or mocking me for my psychosis. and one of my latest flings was in fact cheating on his lady with me, and was even into some of the same shit that my first bf was. THEYRE ALL THE SAME IM TELLING YOU

i think about this moment all the time

[direwombat]

Hi! I hope you’re having a good morning/noon/night wherever you are, and if you aren’t I then I hope your days get at the very least marginally better

I wanted to pop in your ask box because I have a few questions about Sybille and Jake!

If both of them survive to New Dawn, what would they be like? Would they be in the same bunker/jacob’s bunker, or do they get split up? If they both make it, what would their roles in the community be (and are they part of New Eden, Prosperity, or do they make their own little haven?), and would they guns for hire and can help the captain, or would the have their own quests for him? If they are a GFH, what would their party banter be like?

Sorry if it’s a lot of questions I’m just very curious 😅

hello hello!!! my evening has definitely been made better by getting this ask ngl :') also this is suuuuuper long because i can't shut up and the new dawn au makes me so emotional and i love talking about it even tho i won't be working on it any time soon since i need to finish katc first. anyway. yapping under the cut:

ahhhhh the new dawn au my beloved. i have so many thoughts about it. so at the end of katc (if i ever finish it lmao...) syb and jacob end up in separate bunkers. in the 11th hour before the bombs fall, syb and jacob retake falls end, but in the process, joseph has a manic episode where he runs off on his own and climbs to the top of his statue (which syb failed to blow up in her timeline). and at the same time, jacob is radioed that his bunker is being attacked by the remnants of the whitetail militia. so they part ways (with a final, "Come back to me." | "I always do.") jacob off to secure the armory and syb to find joseph and bring him home.

only the bombs fall before they can reunite. So syb is stuck in dutch's bunker with joseph and jacob and staci are the only two left surviving in the armory when they have to close the hatch. they spend seven years apart and seven years barely holding it together long enough to make it out the other side (both joseph and staci spend a lot of time safety-proofing their bunkers and on suicide watch).

but they do survive, if only because they held onto hope that the other survived (altho, after a while, syb does slowly lose her memories of jacob...all she has is that there was someone she cared about somewhere out there. no name. no face. but the feeling remained).

i imagine that after emerging from the bunkers, jacob and staci actually ended up wandering around for a while, taking on odd jobs and essentially being mercs for hire. i also imagine that jacob nearly gets mauled by an irradiated bear, and the encounter left him unable to see out of one eye and it fucked up his back/hips in a way that makes him realize that he's not quite as strong/able-bodied as he used to be.

but syb, who sees joseph as a religious figure and is now missing her tongue (both are a long story, but joseph cuts her tongue out (at her request) as some sort of act of atonement. neither of them are mentally well) still becomes the judge in new eden and is joseph's second in command. and i mean this in the sense that, although joseph is technically the leader, syb is the one who makes sure shit gets done and morale stays up. she helps every way she can, from watching after and teaching the kids how to handle a weapon to hunting and helping build shelter, to mediating disputes between the new edeners. (also i imagine her mask looking like the one in this picture. she doesn't know why, but she gets that warm, comforting, safe feeling in her chest whenever she thinks about rabbits)

eventually, a few months after resurfacing jacob and staci start following up on some leads about new eden. jacob ends up reuniting with syb while she's patrolling and she nearly kills him. it isn't until jacob knocks the mask off that he realizes who he's fighting (altho it definitely felt familiar). but poor syb takes a little longer. she doesn't recognize him until she's got him pinned to the ground with a knife at his throat and he calls her "jackrabbit."

(i actually have a fic that's more or less how i imagine their reunion going)

she brings both jacob and staci back to new eden and to joseph and there's a grand (and very emotional) celebration to welcome lost members of the family back home.

syb and jacob are practically joined at the hip from that point onward. they never leave the other out of their sight. they get "officially" married (which is to say, joseph officiates the ceremony. they've been spiritually married ever since they swapped dogtags after syb handed herself over to jacob/the cult). and honestly? they're happy living the hunter/gatherer lifestyle. they both find their purposes and are at peace with them. they're protectors and providers to their community and they're happy.

altho, i do think that jacob does try to convince her that they should build their own place to stay, but the obligation to community stops them from ever actually doing so.

when the highwaymen start making trouble and when the captain of security comes by asking for help, syb/the judge still lend a hand. the highwaymen are threatening her people, so she'll do everything in her power to stop them. she still wears the mask. needs that anonymity because she feels guilty for betraying the prosperity folks so many years ago. jacob is reluctant, but goes with her (MUCH to prosperity's dismay -- but once kim/nick/grace/etc realize that syb is the judge they get a little bit chiller with him being there. but it takes a long time for them to trust him).

and honestly that's most of what i have for them for this au so far (mostly because it's been a long time since i've played new dawn). i also think that while syb/the judge stays a GFH (and is again, mute), jacob is just creaky-boned and visually impaired enough that he can't join her out in the field. so he stays behind and works with grace, training people. i also think that now that they're on the same side, jacob and grace actually get along super well and syb is able rekindle the friendship she had with her and the three form a little friend group <3

i always view katc as a story about cycles of abuse and the toll of trauma and self-destructive behavior and the new dawn au (titled: ex paradiso) is a story about hope, healing, redemption, learning to trust others to help bear the burden (whatever it may be) when it feels too heavy, and second chances.

it also has a playlist if anyone cares f;lakdjfadf

ur comment on that post abt dunmeshi mischaracterization is so real. the white ppl have got to go i have seen the most egregious takes on certain characters particularly the ones who are clearly not white and its like hmmm i wonder why these white ppl r so quick to demonize the characters that arent white 🤔

TRULY. It's so scary out here. Can anyone hear me

Oh god. Now just imagine Cece watching Elvis at the TCB headquarters and wondering why he keeps wincing when his shirt moves at all. Or if she actually sees him putting cream on his nipples lol!

OHHHH MY GODDDD, THIS- !!!!! 👀💖💖

she's like "🤨 why are you being so freakishly weird." "m'not! i'm being normal-" "did you hurt yourself?? did you do something stupid on our last mission and hurt yourself, is that why you keep grabbing your chest?" "NO! 😳😳"

ok wait everyone hang on a second stop stop wait the fic potential for this is soo good actually.........

"a-and you definitely don't need to check, because i said i'm fin- mmph!" "oops your shirt ripped open, definitely not from me grabbing it and yanking. guess you shouldn't wear so many fucking v-necks." and she's looking him over but not noticing anything obviously wrong, right, so she's manhandling him like craaazy, hands feeling up and down his ribs looking for scrapes, internal bleeding, whatever; turning him around to check his back... and he's sitting there flushing like a tomato, nips hard enough to cut glass, biting his lip to keep from making sounds.. 🥵

me when im in a manipulative asshole competition and my ex walks in (she thinks sui baiting multiple times and then blaming me is “completely justified”):

[panicbones]

a large part of me feels sheer relief that kingoh finally has ended while another part of me feels guilty considering i have friends who are sad abt it

[caruliaa]

mamma mia two here we go again has lied to me one again (changed the lyrics to make me think that abba song was originally a parent talking to their child)

[greencarnation]

this all happening at the same time as i go through the most disgusting drawn out overdue breakup of my life is unfair. i feel insane

[deadrlngers]

smth so sweetly fucked up about violante's interest for shadowheart being fueld by the fact sh lost her memory, reminding violante of camylla (ex with whom she had a nasty break up and almost killed) and how she took mylla's memories away. it's like a you remind me of someone and maybe i'm trying to live a past i lost and miss through you and what if this is a joke of destiny? or maybe my chance to make amends and fix smth i broke long ago but also no matter what she's not her but the past doesn't matter to me anymore and yet all her decisions and actions seem to be taken under the influence of the past, an extension of it and i think she really needs to let go and move on u know but alas, not in her right state of mind girl swag
