#i said i shipped them in the past but idek if i do anymore

[mintaikk]

POV: Millenial Tree Cookie forced Wind Archer Cookie to work at McDonald's but now he has to deal with this guy coming by everyday 😔

(Inspired by this one tiktok with this audio but with Miguel and Miles from ATSV)

[jkgnggj]

for the ask game!! what do u think about makokuu :3c (i am so obsessed with them i need to know)

LMAO ok so this one's hard bc it's like, I ship it and I don't. Like I do like the ship and I can see them together they'd be so good but bad for each other but like in a good way yk? But I don't actively seek fanfiction or fanart or content for them yk? But I do like the fanart I've seen so I'll say I ship it 👍

1. What made you ship it?

So idrk when it started or how but it's just the thought of the two older brothers who annoy their younger siblings together is so silly to me. Like I probs heard or saw sum fanart or a meme about the ship and I was hooked like "at first I was like mm makoku as a joke but bro I dont think it's a joke anymore" < like that

2. What are your favorite things Abt the ship?

Oo ahh that's a hard one ummm I like how they annoy tf outta each other. And they're in denial. Like they're not even friends idek if they ever met like it's so far from canon but at the same time they're like equals to me in a way. They're like idk foils or something idk how to describe it they're like complementary to each other. Like they're opposites but also super similar and I love that sm. I am a big sucker for opposites attract and enemies to lovers pfft if u couldn't tell </3

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Unpopular opinion? Hmm it's a toughie bc like I said I don't think Abt them a lot like I don't concoct headcanons or scenarios with the sillies :( I will say this tho, I don't like or dislike the characters individually. Like I don't hate them tho I don't care or mind if other people do. I won't defend them or their actions but sometimes I do think some people make them out to be even worse than they were shown to be. (I think the reason why this happens is bc those people either relate to the struggles of Kokomi or kusuo bc they've had similar experiences in the past) and that's totally fine and reasonable bc again these are just fictional characters u can hate or like them or project onto them all you want and that's valid. But I am not makoto or kusuke hater nor apologist, like I said before I don't really mind their characters and that in and of itself is probably an unpopular opinion bc u either love em or hate em :/ but yes u can expect no judgement from me whether u enjoy or hate the characters.

unreleased - Bratty becomes Subspace

ship: moonsun (moonbyul x solar)

words: 1.03k (why so much? idek creativity ig)

WARNING: party s*x, spanking, subspace, n*pple play, brat-taming, idolxidol, brattamer!dom!moonbyul, brat!sub!solar, barely proofread a bit cuz i literally pulled this from my dsc, cursing, all fiction

solar has been particularly bratty these past two weeks, especially since moonbyul can't "play" with her. she knows that byul is working on her rapping and singing, and solar herself was working on her singing and youtube channel (side note: check out solar's channel, solarsido, if you haven't), but she wanted some time for them both to relax. so she nagged byul. and nagged byul. and nagged byul. solar kept on nagging the rapper until she couldn't take it anymore. this time the sun has pushed the moon's buttons too far, and it was time to get back. solar was sitting next to moonbyul on their shared couch and was poking the younger on her sides and cheeks. "play with me, byulie, play with me, please!! it's been way too long-" moonbyul took solar's wrist and gave her a cold stare. solar shivered in anticipation.

"on my lap, now," byul growled. solar complied, but not without wiggling her bum on byul's lap, to which byul harshly smacked. "ahh!" solar yelped, a bit shocked. byul was ticked, and as much as solar was very nervous, she was also very excited for what was to come. moonbyul pulled up solar's skirt and rubbed her backside to warn her of what's to come.

"safeword?" byul asked. "lunar," solar whispered. "good sunny," moonbyul rubbed solar's head, and she keened to it. then byul moved her hand away from solar's head to give her bum another smack. "now count." after about 14 slaps, solar's ass was a peach pink color, her eyes were glossy, and she was beyond wet. "15.." she squeaked out.

"good sunny," moonbyul cooed at solar. at this time she could see that the older was very subby and was also super needy. "get up," byul commanded. solar nodded, but then was met with a light tap on the backside again, shocking her a bit. "use your words, sweetheart, and make sure you say it right or else i'll make you count to 20."

"yes, mommy," solar cried out, getting up and facing her girlfriend. moonbyul smirked and pulled up solar's shirt and bra over her head, as well as instructing her to take off her skirt. byul drooled at the sight of solar's nipples and lightly squeezed them in between her fingertips, causing solar to squeal. byul then leaned over to the older and started sucking on her boobs, moving her left hand to knead at one breast while the other went to rub on solar's panties.

"you're very wet, and i've barely done a thing, needy sunny," moonbyul teased once again. solar couldn't help but take the teasing foreplay and whine, but she needed something more. byul knew that. "go to the bed, take off your underwear, and wait right there," she said, leaving whiny solar to sit there in expectation of what was next.

when moonbyul came back from the closet to the bed, she was fully naked and had her purple strap on strapped securely tight around her waist, ready to give solar one of the best fucks she'll ever have. solar, knowing what byul was doing before she arrived, got into byul's favorite position: all fours and ass presented to moonbyul's face; just the way she likes it. byul went towards solar and rubbed her bum with her left hand while she held the purple dildo of the strap on her right, rubbing the tip of it in between solar's folds.

solar was careful not to moan or else she knows that byul would just stop everything and not let her cum for weeks. "what do you want, sunny?" byul asked, teasing the older girl once more, waiting for her to give her the say on when to go. "should i go now, or just stay like this, watching you whine for my dick? you haven't been very good lately, and i'm feeling like leaving you without any pleasure-" solar couldn't take it anymore.

the teasing was so much that she broke from her usually quiet sub self, "no, please! i want.. m-mommy inside me. i promise i'll be good, please, just fuck me."

moonbyul smirked down at solar, finally hearing solar beg in her subby state, which almost never happens. "okay, but remember the safeword just in case it gets too much." she then slowly pushed her purple self onto solar, making the vocalist moan rather cutely. byul waited a while before she felt the hole from under her open up enough for her to move slowly. "how in the world is my sunny still so tight after all these times? damn, i love you.."

"me too, mommy," solar squealed, caught in the pleasure so much so that she took one of the fingers she was holding herself up with and began sucking on them. moonbyul was going at a fast pace now, and using one of the hands she had on solar's hips to hold on to her breasts from under her, pinching a nipple. solar was close, and moonbyul knew it from the way solar was mumbling and moaning "byulie" and "mommy" under her breath. "i think you've been a good girl now," byul praised solar, "so you can cum now." solar moaned moonbyul's name ("byulie") and came hard on the strap, which was slowing down on its thrusts.

moonbyul pulled out of the tired girl and went to their shared bathroom to wet a wash cloth to clean solar up. as she cleaned the older girl up, solar was rather confused. "what about you, mommy? don't you need to cum as well?" solar was very tired and could barely move, yet she still thought about the rapper's needs as well.

moonbyul shook her head and lay down next to solar to give her a loving, lazy kiss. "i'll be fine, sweetie. just lay down and relax." byul then placed the older on her chest. solar turned to the side to hold on to the younger's chest and kissed her boob, making byul sigh in light satisfaction.

"i love you, moonbyul. you know that, right?"

"of course," she said, leaning down to give her girlfriend another loving, lazy kiss. "and i do, too."

i had only a few people read this and have kept this held from the public for a year (before i got tumblr) lol any thoughts?

[syrelivesforptj]

My life as a loser Fanfiction, the thought of self peoclaimed literacy genius, Syre:

IVE BEEN LAUGHING AT A MY LIFE AS A LOSER FANFICTION I FOUND IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE FOR AGES LIKE THE PLOT IS UM WEIRD BUT ITS GOOD TOO?? Basically Ancheol is in Jinus body as usual and he is like "yo my past self is hansome" but he says it audibly and then Seulgi goes "GAY?" AND THEN ANCHEOL GOES "...GAY??..." and sangmin is like "mm.. Gay" it's a love triangle I guess but the ancheol x ancheol shit is real fucking odd

ITS JUST THE TRANSLATIONS INTO ENGLISH... YOU CAN ASSUME WHAT THEY SAY BY CONTEXT BUT... here are my favourite screenshots so far as examples

There's so many more but these are all I've took so far.

EDIT: SORRY I DONT WANNA SPAM POST SO IM JUST GONNA UPDATE AS I GO ALONG!

Chapter 2 now. Seulgi is one funny mother fucker. EVERYONE IS TAKING EVERYRHING THE WRONG WAY. also spirit Jinu is fed up with all the bullshit

DAMNIT WHY IS THERE SO MUCH ANCHEOL X ANCHEOL? HELLO? please PLEASE let jinu take over his past body so this is LESS TERRIFYING? Maybe this is a Sangmin x Ancheol fic in disguise...? The author said they'd ALL get together so... idek man does that mean Jinu like the real Jinu would date them? What have i gotten myself into... also there hasn't been any super funny messages yet so have this from the last parts of chapter 1

EDIT 2: OKAY SO WHAT I SEE HAPPENING IS JINU IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET ANCHEOL BACK TO HIS BODY! HE GOES "he must've liked me already sigh..." SO... IDK? MAYBE. ALSO seulgi is being funny again

Edit 3: ancheol lying to dabin about hanging out with Jinu to not need to hang out w her very funny

edit 4: chapter 3.. I stopped reading... I can't do it anymore oh god

Edit 5: I LIED. MINGYU AND SEULGI SHIP DIFFERENT THINGS. MINGYU IS TEAM SANGMIN X JINU, SEULGI IS TEAM JINU X ANCHEOL.

Chapter 4 is them saying "one point" if Ancheol and jinu are close or sangmin and jinu are close and in the end they'll compare numbers to see who's most likely.

[organic-guacamole]

showtime

ok first of all, this is the second to last episode guys... I don't even wanna think about how much pain I'll be in after next week's episode

mr mazzara doing the recap-

this is so weird to me and I don't know why

WHY DIDN'T YALL JUST ASK BENJAMIN FOR HELP, THATS LITERALLY HIS THING

is Nini giving out the cards a callback to season 1 when Natalie Bagley said that Nini gave her a card or something on opening night of another musical?

STEPHY AS THE ENCHANTRESS OMG YES

Ricky in the crown gives me Harry styles in that photoshoot vibes

he's so pretty.

ok but why did we never see Ricky and Ashlyn interact before? it's been like 5 seconds and I already love how they bounce off each other and it's just so natural

OH THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY UNDERSTUDIES-

well that explains a lot...

so Ricky fell on top of Ashlyn and all that broke for both of them was their wrist-

insert Jake Peralta *coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool no doubt no doubt no doubt*

of course howie was amazing as the beast, were we expecting anything less??

Ricky is so beautiful and I will not shut up about it....

SEBLOS

Seb looks so cute standing there next to pope Carlos

DID THEYEY REALLY LIGHT ANTOINE ON FIRE-

I NEED TO SEE THAT

Seb's reading Carlos better than big red read the script in episode 102, this is great development after the "fight"

Kourtney really just made the best outfit for herself and let the rest of them suffer

...

"hey where are you from?"

"TAH"

SEB'S SINGULAR CLAP KILLED ME-

pepto bismol product placement smhsmh

those flowers are bigger that big red himself-

*bops along to the opening theme*

WHY IS THE AUDIENCE SO MASSIVE

wow i am so funny

so they couldn't do many group scenes cuz of covid, but this 300 person crowd is cool? nice

OO THE VIOLIN GIRL FROM EPISODE 6 IS IN THE ORCHESTRA

HOWIEEEEEE

"Mr Caswell", he said, in the loudest voice possible while backstage at a show that's about to start.

Mazzara what are you trying to pull-

I usually like Benjamin but I don't like his tone

"iS yOuR wHoLe FaMiLy HeRe?" LIKE YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THATS A SOFT SPOT FOR EJ

"we've had some good conversations these past few weeks"

right so what's going to happen after you graduate?

what does he think of you not going to Duke?

what did he say about you giving the sweatshirt that's been in the family for 3 generations to a girl you're not even dating?

good old Mr. M

therapist Mr. Mazzara, they all need it.

start with Ricky though.

"Michael Bowen"

dude why did you shave, now you look less like "hot lumberjack" and more "creep at the gas station"

OH-

does she not like Mike anymore?

why does it sound like jennzzara started dating and now they just sit back and talk smack about everyone in their freetime

break the fourth wall-

uhhhh im scared

why am I scared

he's scary

hehe flowers for Ricky, obviously for Ricky, ObViOuSLY

oh boy poor Michael

this man is in love, rip

why does Ms Jenn always look at people with her eyes open so wide

LILYYYY

I'm only excited because I really like the idea of lily and Ricky being friends, nothing more.

ha this guy's got jokes

a MOAT AROUND THE SCHOOL

wheeze

also he's very pretty.

"the wolves and very talented humans"

how dare he forget to mention the very talented wolves and normal humans, smh erasure

"being nice, what a concept" ted talk by Lily who still doesn't have a last name

did she just say lol out loud

same with the hug emoji last episode-

go touch some grass babes

the way he didn't say no, but said he didn't know how the east high kids would react-

not saying he does want to date her but that's an interesting thing to think about, also another thing to write an essay analysis on just to leave it in my drafts for a few months

awww lily genuinely trying to help him

sorry guys, I've been taken by the Lily charm (didn't know it existed until now but oh well)

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I'LL NEVER SHIP PORTWELL?

just look at me now

the Lily wink I can't she's so cute-

HELP ME I'M BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY LIL-

David Attenborough?

oh nvm it's Benjamin narrating the show in a really weird British accent for some reason.

STEPHY GOT MORE LINES YAY GOOD FOR HER

also is this to show that Nini doesn't care about being the star of the show anymore? the way she's supporting everyone else even though she's a fork?

I would pay for a special of the full musical ngl

OOO THE TRANSFORMATION WAS SMOOTH

shockingly

yo where did the makeup come from

man I wish I was a theatre kid

THIS IS STEPHY'S EPISODE NOW IDC✋

my girl is starring

"needs an X-factor"

Simon Cowbell creeps in

"it's a yes from me"

and them boom, he takes Nini and mistreats her horribly and then she comes back to theatre after deciding music isn't for her👍

"I thought she just hog-tied him?"

don't ask sebby, it's better if you don't know.

imagine they spotlight the wrong person and this dude is just some random person that likes writing down stuff during shows.

Ms Jenn just let them do what they rehearsed (at some point we never saw) or else this is gonna end horribly wrong

"help"

same Carlos, same

I love how seb is just his translator rn

I thought he said "great displeasure" instead of "greatest pleasure"....help?

big red coming out from throwing up to see his girlfriend star is the cutest thing in this show.

Ash and Gina dancing is so fun

I'm imagining them practicing at night at their home, watching the movie for the 100th time and making sure their one dance together is perfect

KOURTNEY YES

HOWIE IS IN LOVE AHHHH

I LOVE HOWIE SO MUCH

SEBBY

THIS SCENE HAS SO MUCH GOING ON I CAN'T KEEP UP

THIS IS SO GOOD

HOW???

no because I'm actually crying

I'm dead serious.

we need this musical released as a special

big red is so proud and I love to see it

Natalie: "if you do not by at least 20 dollars in concessions, you do not support art"

rando in the audience: "but I pay for ad free Spotify"

Mr Mazzara clapping in the distance

Gigi, the guy you like is talking to you, complimenting you and hyping you up

YOU LUCKY LITTLE FEATHER DUSTER

aw EJ teasing her about the chocolates in a way that doesn't make her feel bad? take notes Richard

JORDAN FISHER

Mr. M.... I'm not a theatre kid but even I know you can't have your phone on backstage.

oh ok bye Jordan

oo tea

NOT HIM BEING STARSTRUCK BECAUSE HE'S MEETING HIS FUTURE BROTHER IN LAW-

"we're all just glad Gigi has a big brother figure in her life"

excuse me for a few thousand hours while I laugh hysterically

THE CAMERA ZOOM ON EJS FACE AND EVERYTHING-

STOP EJ LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONNA CRY BUT I CAN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY WITH THE STAGE MAKE-UP

someone else said this already but I think it's hilarious that they had to bring in 2 guest characters to create some portwell angst

omg this really is Cici's episode, found family is their thing

elevator music lol

I'm gonna bet that big red took the harness for his surprise for Ashlyn without realising what it was

did Ms. Jenn just....tell her most mentally unstable student....to commit suicide....on a disney show...was that....I'm very....well....what the actual-

oh and there she goes running off instead of trying to make it right

oh wow Nini's the hero, she's gonna save the show 🤩

😐

the judge is doing a sudoku

honestly if I went to the hsm show as well, I'd come prepared for this one too

Lily why are you looking like that-

I WAS JUST STARTING TO LIKE YOU DON'T MESS THIS UP

wow ok, there goes that.

omg

what if Howie was acting weird because he knew what Lily did and wanted to tell Kourtbut Lily threatened him so he was scared to-

anyways see y'all clowns next week when we all simultaneously lose all motivation for the week without Fridays to look forward to.

[fanmoose12]

I am not over it. I am SO not over IT. I read the SNK manga YEARS ago when it was only chapter 100 and one day I had the dumb idea to continue that shit. I am not PLEASED and Hanji's death UTTERLY WRECKED ME, someone who wasn't even a Hanji Stan!! reading the manga made me fall in love with her quiet determination, leadership skills, and sense of duty when before I was more of an Armin type of girl? She just. won me over. and her death was NOT OKAY. I CRIED while saying no no nO NOOO OH MY GOD -

and it TORE ME APART and she was the only person in my mind ever since and I couldn't read the manga in the same nonchalant way ever again. i'm sorry i promise im getting somewhere! it legit ruined my moods and made me so sad all the time IT WAS THAT BAD and i started hating eren with absolute passion. Idek where to start? How her death was pointless & nobody gave a fuck?? and Levi thought of FRICKING ERWIN instead of Hans & I wasnt even a Levihan shipper it doesnt make SENSE! He just LOST HANS

-- and all he can think about is FUCKING ERWIN. come on MAN, and she parented the 104th even REINER had more emotions than these mfers. Everyone is alive EXCEPT HER, like onyakapon and even yelena, minor characters, it just feels so UNFAIR, i'm not mad abt death, i breathe angst like it was chocolate it was just so pointless and meaningless and no one even grieves, especially Levi who was closest to her. there was just no room for her in the plot anymore and thats what makes me pissed -

- not bc it was her time, but bc she ran out of uses to the plot and like in GOT where the character is smarter than the author. not only that, she was made so powerless and pathetic and she felt so useless and she died like that. where's the justice? the character arc? right she was there Just to Save Levi :// it's like that quote from gone girl - "the world will know that [man] threw his beloved wife like garbage, and she floated past down all the other abused, unwanted, INCONVENIENT, women"

(sorry for the fem pronouns, i'm all abt anime hange here). and its not like she wasnt a fan favorite, she's top 3 of the last character poll. just bc shes not levi and eren and armin. and cmon. yams had to nerf and minus 100 out of her iq for the INSANE plan of fucking zeke and the yeagerists, can you BELIEVE she trusted and was OUTSMARTED by ZEKE, who legit massacred the survey corps, even though SHE HAD THE SAME LEVEL OF IQ?? but noooo, plot reasons!! shes not eRwIn, what you expect 🙃

im upset, not bc my fav character died but bc it was meaningless (if falco can fly, why tf didnt he do that in the first place) and hollow in logic and in emotion. maybe snk's lesson to us is life is unfair and we should suck it up. it wasn't well earned & yams wrote hanji in a corner, like (again) in GOT where no matter what daenerys chose she was wrong. sorry i dumped all this to you!! if you're still here, thank you for listening to my month long pent up emotions, im still really sad about it

- and idk how to let go? but your writings have definitely made me feel better, it just comforts me like Levi to a bottle of bleach. thank you for still writing!!! about an anime girl in a fictional world and still delivering more emotion than the original author. my heart definitely feels better these days, though it still aches bc she deserves so much better & didnt deserve whatever the fuck she was given, thank you for championing hanji zoe rights! im 99% sure she wont be revived -

but she lives on in your writings and other fanfiction authors and artworks and i'm just so grateful we have a community like this, honestly im just glad you're here :) keep doing what you do and i hope you're safe and warm & healthy!! also to every hanji stans out there one fucking day when we love a character the author wont rip our hearts and throw it to the garbage, im so so sorry for my long long ask but if i could request maybe eren apologizing to hanji inpaths or when she got captured or

or when she died or you choose!! i saw this art by @siroyuki 2015 in twitter where he's hugging her and shit, you should check it out it gave me feels!! i just want her to be loved and appreciated :((( again thank you so much if you made it this far! im sorry if you're annoyed or smthn HHAHAHA i promise this is the last! thank you for your service to humanity we stan 💪😩👌💕💞 

ah don’t you let canon frustrate you, it doesn’t matter anyway :D like you saud, we still have fics and fanarts

however, yeah, i do kinda feel you :/ like the way yams keeps glossing over hange's death is actually a bit weird? like i know they're at war and i know that they have no time for grieving etc but the kids were literally bawling their eyes when hange died but no mention of her sacrifice at all after that? like in 136, gabi said that they should stop the rumbling to repay azumabito's kindness and that's ummmmmmm.... a little bit weird. sure, gabi is a little girl with no connection to hange but reiner, jean and connie were there, when gabi said that and they saw hange’s sacrifice, so why not say something like “yeah, we can’t let commander hange’s sacrifice go to waste?” like come on. what did azumabito do? let falco transform on the board of her ship, so now she travels on a boat? i don't think that can compare to hange's acts though. she literally brought these mfs who were ready to jump at each other's throat together and then she sacrificed her own life to give them yet another chance at success. a sacrifice that was proved to be utterly meaningless in the very next chapter? why did falco learn about his ability to fly only after hange died? why didn't he discover it upon first transformation? :/

oh, and speaking of hange's character arc? like i get it, she was depressed, she struggled with her role as a commander (even though she did everything she could and she did a damn good job at it). and i guess that this plotline was kinda resolved when she heard that erwin approved of her actions? and that's cool, if what we've seen was actually an afterlife and not hange's hallucination. because if it was indeed a product of her mind then that's, um, kinda depressing bro. hange was so desperate for someone's approval that she dreamed about it while literally dying. i just don't understand why yams didn't include a scene where kids tell her how much they respect her and what an honor it was to serve under her command or SOMETHING. but as it is, hange died, thinking she was weak and useless and, um, yeah, certainly not the end you want for your favorite character :)

so yeah, hange's death was kinda meaningless and pointless - it didn't serve the plot whatsoever + it could have been very easily avoided 

[bucketofchum]

Had a dream I was in a marine lab in Singapore doing research. But there was a storm with 40ft (12m) riptide waves which were crashing down and reaching all the way across even the road/highway along the coast. Waves not unlike what I had seen on Ascension Island except waters a little less clear.

There was a desert on the other side of the ocean with something going on but I couldn’t even access it because of the storm so I had to run into the city to get help.

But for some reason no one would rly help me and I had to even try and escape this building to actually find ppl who would help. I exited out a back door for shipping and there was this weird complicated gate to prevent exit. With little red laser dots that give a small disuasive shock like the ones used in horse pastures. Anyhow I mounted on the railings and tried to rely on my balance to hop from rail to rail avoiding the dots (they were placed in the junction areas so places with more stability). I got shocked just once or twice (very unpleasant or disagreeable but won’t kill you).

But even after I got past, my heart sank as I realised this is kind of a dead end. No way out and it’s just walls and the backs of buildings. But wait there is a sculpture that I can climb bouldering style and try to scale the outside of the building en face and it’s hella scary and dangerous but I know I only have so much time before people come after me from the other place. So I risk it.

I’m climbing and trying to be fast but careful and there are some tourists passing by who are me through the glass window and they are like “wow look at the cool recreational opportunities locals have here these days!” And I’m just thinking... I’m not... local... im a visiting researcher...

And while I’m still climbing, now off the statue scaling the outside of the building, I come across my parents on vacation??? And they tell me I am well known back in America amongst the Chinese community (rad!) for being the American trained Chinese scientist with a French technique (becomes very unclear if my research is French or Singaporean... or maybe it’s an international collaboration idk).

Anyhow then I wake up.

But there was also a huuuuuge long sequence beforehand during my research and everything. One time when I was in the desert, there was a weird march like thing approaching us (idk who us even was in this instance - other researchers?) and heh gave everyone a water bottle in the form of a large ampoule. But like ? What are you supposed to do break it open? Wtf. Turns out not everyone got the same one and I was so upset I got like a 25cL one and there were people like the girl next to me (WHO DOESNT EVEN DRINK THAT MUCH WATER) who got like a 75cL one and my sister (who was also a scientist here) who got like another different but bigger one. Overall there were 4 sizes, and two were plastic. Mine was plastic. Sucks cuz that’s not what they said Hahahah. Anyhow 3/4 types had lids. The largest glass one did not so honestly idek how you’re supposed to open it besides breaking the neck but then you lose some water and you’ve got these pointy glass shards. Idk.

I started collecting empty bottles to recycle them (in France — maybe the desert is France — the glass recycling is far away and I know that ppl always are too lazy to go so if I want it to get recycled I have to be the one to do it.)

But as I went to collect the bottles someone else (Becky, friend from uni who died in a car accident) was already lounging on a couch with a reusable shopping bag open to collect the bottles for recycling. So I didn’t have to.

Then I went back home for a nap cuz I was exhausted. Oh jk I had to run home to grab some things and meet my sister and some people in the desert asap but I was exhausted and I figured I could rush but maybe I could also sneak in a little 1-2 minute power nap??? Didn’t end up happening. Anyhow I eventually made it outside (had to meet the ppl in the desert which is on the other side of the ocean right) but there was a huge time pressure and I didn’t realise why until I got out of our residence to see the storm. With the storm waves, I couldn’t cross the beach (ohhh maybe That’s how there was a desert .. the sand on the beach then just continued forever and that was the desert) bc the waves flooded so far inland that here wasn’t a beach anymore completely separating what used to be joined.

(There was a narrow strip of beach but the back of the beach was some rocks and also wetland foresty area before the highway — and all that was basically flooded) the desert was fine and still there — and everyone already there I imagine was perfectly fine and not in danger. It was just now separated.

Anyhow from there, cue the beginning of this post

NOT TAKING ANYMORE REQUESTS!

You frowned as you climbed onto a desk to inspect a gaping hole in one of the bedrooms of Arkadia. Looking down at your feet where your tools and pieces of scrap metal were spread out, you reached down to sift through them. 

Realising none of the pieces were big enough to cover the hole, you got down from your stool and sat on the floor in defeat. You were exhausted. You had spent the past few days making your way through Arkadia, trying to patch up any holes and crevices to make the station secure. You were still in disbelief when Clarke had informed you that a radiation wave was coming, and that the station needed to be patched up so everyone could survive in it. You had just recovered A.L.I.E. takeover, and you were tired of having to fight to survive every day. 

But this was life on Earth. There was nothing you could do about it. 

You sniffed, feeling tears well in your eyes. You were scared about the events to come, yet you didn’t want to admit it. You heard footsteps approached, and you briskly sat up and pretended to organize your tools after wiping away your tears. You looked up to see Bellamy standing over you, and he crouched down as he asked, “Need any help?”

“I’ve got it under control.” you replied, avoiding eye contact. Usually, you enjoyed Bellamy’s company, but you wanted to be left alone. Bellamy was quick to notice that you were upset, but against his instincts, he decided not to ask you about it. 

“You trying to fix up that hole?” Bellamy gestured above you, and you nodded. He looked at the scrap pieces of metal before remarking, “I don’t think any of these are going to work. Do you want me to help you find some more?”

“It’s fine.” you muttered. “I’ll just... hammer these pieces together, I guess. It’ll probably work, I think... God, this sounded a lot better in my head.”

“Okay, y/n, what’s wrong?” Bellamy finally blurted, unable to skirt around the subject anymore. He gently reached over to take your tools out of your hands before wrapping his hands around yours, and you slowly looked up at him. “Don’t bother lying to me -- I can tell when you’re upset.”

You paused before you finally admitted, “I’m scared, Bell.”

Bellamy flashed you a sympathetic smile. “I know. I am too, but that’s okay. I’d be worried if you weren’t scared.”

You laughed slightly. “Do you think we’re going to survive?”

“We will. We’ve survived this long on the ground, a radiation wave is just another obstacle we can overcome.” Bellamy nodded, his expression determined. He could sense you were still doubtful, and he raised his eyebrows as he asked, “Do you trust me?”

Taking in a deep breath, you responded, “Yes.”

“Good.” Bellamy grinned, getting to his feet and pulling you up with him. “Now, let’s get back to work.”

It’s weird. It’s so weird. I refused to watch from the beginning because I just had this gut feeling Rin was gonna be the mother, and almost everyone I interacted with on Twitter was defending that hypothetical scenario. But did we really think it would happen? In the meantime, I start another series. I like this one couple. Two consenting adults, nice chemistry. But because of fandom drama, there is a LOT of discourse on Twitter and Tumblr. People complaining over whether it is right or wrong. And I’d never been on the side of a controversial ship before so it was new. Then I come back over here and I find out I was right about Rin and I’m seeing people talking about how it’s a great show, and I’m not used to hating popular, canon ships either. It’s like, in the course of this past year and a half or whatever, I’m overrun with weird shipping situations I have never been in before and my mind is reeling. How is any of this happening? How is this reality? I’ve heard mixed things about Takahashi-sensei. Some saying she was totally involved, others saying she gave her blessing, some saying she said Sesshomaru is just a dad figure, others making it sound like in her one corner interview or whatever she talked about how his wife had a big influence on him, so idek what’s true anymore. But idk I guess sometimes even the writers can be off. It’s just so odd to see I’ve never been in either of these positions before, but suddenly I’m in them both at once. God, let this Yasahime stuff just be a bad nightmare. I watched that show when I was in middle school. Don’t taint my memories of it like this. Anyway sorry for the rant. Had to vent lol

I hope your rant made you feel better Nonny :P

If it's any consolation I like a LOT of ships that are considered "controversial", but whatever, at the end of the day it's just shipping, as the header of my blog says, ship what you want.

I've seen people try to make some of the smallest non-issue garbage into a huge deal just so they can feel validated about why they don't like a ship. It blows my mind because I'm fully of the opinion that if you don't like something that's fine, you don't NEED to defend your reasons for not liking something, you do you and I'll do me and we'll stay in our own lanes.

And when people try to use petty things like "One character is 20 and the other character is 25, that's an age gap and it's wrong, and even though these characters aren't a pair in the show people online are making fanfiction of them and should be harassed" and act like it's on the same level as "This adult man raised this girl from the age of 7 and impregnated her at 15 in the actual narrative of this show that is being marketed to children, we should tell the multi-million dollar studio that is producing this show that it's not acceptable", my bones get a little troussled too.

Granted I tend to actively hate a lot of shipping behaviors though, not just what the sauceribs have been doing in the Inuyasha fandom.

Things like fandom ship wars, and the biggest most cringe sin of all in my opinion: bothering creators to make a ship canon like they are trying to lobby politicians for rights or something. Nothing makes me want to throw all of my electronic devices into the garbage and move out to live in the mountains like seeing fans harass creators for ships.

MASSIVE MULTIPLE HEADCANON DUMP UNDER THE CUT

Please keep in mind these were all written BEFORE season 6

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keith started pulling away from his role as the pilot of the black lion as soon as they had Shiro back. He never once wanted to be in this position because he knows that he isn’t meant to be a leader. He’s a natural born loner that’s always cared about only himself in a lot of situations. While being part of a team has granted him the needed growth.

He has never once called himself the black paladin and will never accept that title because it was one that was forced on him by Shiro. Never once did Shiro asked if Keith wanted to lead Voltron, he shoved it down his throat. Which most likely causes a rift between Keith and Shiro because as much as Keith trusts Shiro having something that he doesn’t want shoved down his throat kills Keith.

Keith never meant to cause the rest of his team harm by missing performances or throwing the team that became his family in danger because he hates himself for doing it. Yet he knows that the blade is where he truly belongs. The blade has the secrets to his past hidden in their walls and for once he’s ready to find himself. He’s not just the boy in the shack anymore he’s Keith, a boy who wants nothing more than to find his place in the universe.

What happened with the delivery ships that forced Shiro’s hand into becoming the black paladin again makes Keith feel so guilty it tears him up inside. He didn’t mean to cause that kind of harm to his team. Yet there’s some gratification when Shiro does get the black lion to respond to him only confirming that he has no place as a paladin of Voltron.

Keith loved being a paladin and flying his lion but he knew that his time as a paladin was up the second Allura got the blue lion. He knew the second Shiro was back that he’d hand the reins back over to their rightful owner. He was willing to make that sacrifice for himself.

The lecture with Allura saying that the blade could go on without him but Voltron can’t was a slap in the face because Keith knew that Shiro was just letting him lead a team he was never good enough to. Keith was a bad leader to put it lightly. He knew his flaws and he could never call the shots on his own. He knows that he isn’t meant to be a leader when his instincts tell him to only protect himself.

Once Shiro is back in command and when he tells the team about the mission he wants to go on he knows that it’s finally time. He knows that no matter how bad his mistakes were that things finally worked themselves out in his favor for once in his life. He made his choice the second he joined the blade. He knows where he belongs and he knows it isn’t as a paladin. He made that choice and was willing to make it right no matter the cost.

Keith has grown so much and the trust he holds in his team will always be there, but he knows that he isn’t meant to be in the paladin armor anymore. He hates to leave the family that he’d grown close with behind but he knows that he needs to find himself to really live up to what the expect from him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to explain something about Keith and his team dynamic because I’ve been talking about this to a few people, and they support this theory.

Now we all know that Keith get’s ‘attacked’ a lot in the show by the other team members because of his mistakes, and yes this does negatively affect Keith I’d like to take a stance from the teams perspective.

This isn’t some high school football game or some dumb playground for them to play in space. This isn’t a simulation this is war and I’d like to make it very clear that some of Keith mistakes could lead him and any other member of the team do their death.

A perfect example is when Keith tried to fight Zarkon in S1 ( I think idek ) and everyone kept yelling at him to stop. They aren’t saying that to break Keith, they don’t want Zarkon to get the red lion and then get himself killed.

Another example is in season 2 when Keith threatens that leader by putting his sword around his neck, of course everyone else got mad because his outburst did nothing but put everyone in danger. They know Keith can’t be stopped but they want to drill it into his head that his decisions often lead the rest of the team to be in danger.

My biggest example is on Thayserix in season 3 whenever Keith just went after Lotor without letting Pidge examine the atmosphere, and letting Allura get shot off and nearly caught by Lotor. In that moment Lance reaches out to him and instead of ‘bullying’ ( He’s never bullied Keith he’s called him out on his shit because again this is war ) Keith he said he was going to help him fix what he’d done. Because everyone knows that Keith doesn’t want to be their leader and they know he isn’t fit to lead them, so instead of lashing out at him and making things worse they help him, because he’s no longer just another paladin he’s in charge.

Before Keith was their leader they’d call him out because they need him to see where he makes his mistakes and need him to try not to do it again. A lot of the time Keith doesn’t do the exact same thing over and over again, but he still causes trouble.

Now moving on to Keith’s perspective.

He’s used to looking out for just himself and not 4 other people. He acts on himself because he’s selfish and cares about himself. He’s hard wired that way, so of course he’s the one who gets in those kinds of situations the most. Pidge, Hunk, and Lance were on a team together in the Garrison and Shiro is a natural born leader so of course they are a team oriented bunch. Keith dropped out of the garrison and was alone for a year, and even in the garrison he struggled with is ‘disciplinary issues’ which I’m assuming revolved around his lack of communication with his team and how he couldn’t be a team oriented person.

Now before you start screaming ‘BUT HE CAN LEARN THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE TO YELL AT HIM’ He can’t relearn something that’s been hardwired in his brain in the course of a few months, they’ve probably been in space 2 years at most, and he can’t reteach himself all the things he’s known because he doesn’t know he’s doing it half the time. He relies solely on instinct and his instinct protects himself and only himself.

Keith isn’t perfect, he’s flawed and broken and desperate to fix himself but he’s too scared to ask for help because he knows everyone on the team already has this high opinion of him and he doesn’t want to disappoint them yet again by showing that he’s not all he’s claimed to be outside of the battlefield.

He’s weak and he doesn’t want to admit that to anyone, because he already knows he’s fucked up enough and he doesn’t want to add to it. I’m not saying the team have made him feel this way because he’s always felt like this. He was at the top of his class at the garrison so god forbid he be anything less than perfect.

TLDR Keith isn’t bullied by his team mates because this is war and it’s not bullying if you speak up when someone fucks up in those situations because everyone’s life is on the line and Keith isn’t fucked up mentally because of what the team does or whenever they call him out. Sure it hurts and it doesn’t help him but he’s not broken from the team doing this to him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keith in season 4 shows a lot of growth ( even though he was only in 3 episodes ) because it’s offering the idea that Keith isn’t meant to be directly involved with Voltron. That he might not truly be meant to hold a paladin role, but a role outside of it with the blade. He joins the blade because he wants to further himself outside of voltron and wants to see where he really belongs. I’m not trying to say he doesn’t belong in voltron but maybe that he feels like to really be a paladin he needs himself to grow. Ever since he was forced to pilot the black lion he hasn’t felt like he really belonged in that position. Lance replaces his role in red and he knows that deep down lance has grown into that role and deserves it, but he knows that he’s not really ready to pilot black yet. He sees himself as more of a place holder for when he forces Shiro to reconnect with the black lion.

Watching Lance grow into the role of the red paladin further solidified his thoughts that he might be that ‘one to many paladins’ Lance mentioned in season 3. It made him realized that maybe he’s not meant to be apart of voltron but still be able to help through the blade. He realizes that maybe he’s not meant to pilot a lion, which is a hard thing for him to swallow because he’d just gotten used to the idea of voltron being his real family and now he feels as if it’s time for him to move on. Joining the blade is a way for him to really grow as a person and find out more about himself away from voltron and away from the people he’s grown to call his family.

Now moving on to how Keith copes with the realization that he isn’t meant for voltron. It’s a hard thing for him to swallow because those people are his family. It’s hard for him to think that he has to take a back seat and watch voltron from the outside because he wants to be a paladin and he wants to be a part of the team but he doesn’t want to shove lance out of red and therefore shove allura out of blue because he feels like those are the roles they’re truly meant to play. He slowly has to accept the fact that he might never get to fly a lion ever again, yet he doesn’t get angry at anyone and doesn’t try to take out this realization out on anyone he keeps it to himself and waits for the moment to present itself that he can be with just the blade and not have to keep going back and forth with being the pilot of the black lion and the blade.

I also want to touch on how Keith has never and probably will never view himself as the black paladin. He knows he’s not meant to hold that role and knows that once Shiro gets back he’ll have a huge weight lifted off his shoulders that he just isn’t ready for. People might call him the black paladin but he’ll never see himself as such.

I’m also a firm believer that Keith connected with people in the blade and talked to them and they helped him rely less on instinct and control his emotions. They’re really helping him grow as a person and that’s something he didn’t fully have in voltron. He’s put himself in a complete 180 environment to what voltron was. It’s not about saving everyone it’s about the mission, and that’s helping him realize how cold some people in life can be.

At first Keith will probably resent the team for not fully understanding why he wants to join the blade and why he forced Shiro to take action and reconnect with the black lion but once they watch him grow and learn and see him change as a person they’ll slowly see that Keith wasn’t trying to run away he was trying to find himself, and that meant he had to leave voltron. Yet he has a whole lot to learn from the blade and that will really help him develop as a character and into the person he really wants himself to be. He wants to be more open with people and wants to be able to not get angry all the time and he really believes the blade is a place where that will teach him what he wants to know.  

Now for the big thing. The big stupid instinctual thing Keith did. This is probably going to be super long but whatever here we go, his sacrifice.

In the moment thousands of people were at risk by the planet exploding and crippling the coalition or he can sacrifice his own life and save them all. He knows that since he’s not a paladin anymore his sacrifice won’t directly cripple voltron, they’ll still have all their paladins and still be able to take down Zarkon. They’ll be able to do what they’ve always wanted, and he knows that if he gives himself up to save everyone that he won’t be forgotten. His memory will live on with Voltron and he knows that his death will only give them the strength to take action, he’s willing to give himself up to protect his family.

At this point he’s spent weeks with the blade and their slogan ‘the mission or death’ and all that jazz. He knows that in this moment his life is worth less than the mission they’re trying to complete. He’s just another blade member that is willing to put their life on the line to save everyone else around him. He knows people will be upset, he knows that maybe giving up his life isn’t the best thing to do but it was the only option at that point. They had ticks left before the planet exploded and their weapons weren’t making a dent in that shield but he knows that crashing his ship into it would be enough to at least give them the edge they needed to stop the ritual going on and stop the planet from exploding.

In that moment he recalls his whole life up until that moment and he’s happy with everything he’s done. He was apart of something so much bigger than himself and he knows that even without him around that voltron will still be able to defeat Zarkon and that they’re going to do what they need to do.

In that moment Keith lets everything go and he’s willing to die for the sake of thousands and for the sake of voltron. He’s not dying because he’s impulsive or because he wants to die. He gives himself up knowing that if he doesn’t then everyone that he loves and everyone that he cares about is going to die along with him and he can’t stand that thought. He protects the people he cares about and he’ll give himself up over any of the other paladins in a heart beat because they’re so much more important that he is. He can’t let voltron die so he decides to take a risk that would’ve costed him his life.

He doesn’t regret what he tried to do because there were literally no other options at that point and nothing else was working. He doesn’t think that what he tried to do was dumb or stupid because he’s not a paladin anymore, his worth isn’t greater than any of the other paladins because he hung up his armor and he moved on. Now he’s just a blade member and they’ve died to save voltron before so what’s the difference in that moment?

The blade of marmora are willing to lay down their lives for the sake of voltron and that’s exactly what Keith tries to do. His sacrifice wouldn’t have been in vain and he knows that. He’s just another member of the blade that nearly dies for voltron and he’s sound in his decision.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time for me to meta about everything the Keith video touched on.  PSA it’s a long read. It’s just over 2k words. Also psa DO NOT REBLOG.

I’d like to start off this with a song lyric that I feel really resonates with keith.

Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear?

I’m going to start from the beginning of Keith’s life because frankly, that’s where all of his problems started. Keith has never canonically mentioned his father other than in the blade episode so there’s not much to go on there. BUT now that he’s mentioned his mother leaving him we can infer that Keith has abandonment issues. He blames the way he is now on the fact that his mother left him. His biggest question is WHY she left him. What did he do wrong? Why didn’t she love him? It’s all these questions that he’s asked himself for years now.

The next point I’d like to move on to is the abandonment issues that came along as a result of his mother leaving him. Now while I hc that his father died ( the show could prove me wrong but whatever ) and then Keith was shipped off to the Garrison instead of going into foster care that’s another issue of Keith being alone. His father left him by himself, no other family to contact. Instead they shipped him off to the Garrison where he tried to bust his ass to make something out of himself. He needed to prove to himself that even with all the shit he’s gone through that he could be more than his parents deaths.

I’d also like to point out how Keith is never taught any coping mechanisms on how to deal with loss or anger or anything that could make him uncomfortable. He’s literally been shown to lose his cool and get angry the second he feels uncomfortable. Why? Because he doesn’t have any other way of dealing with. It’s not like he wants to get angry all the time he just doesn’t know how to control it. He gets worked up and then can’t stop himself until it’s too late and then whenever someone such as Shiro or Lance call him out and ask him to calm down he’s calm almost immediately, why? Because he never intends to get that angry in the first place. After being called out about it it’s just another slap in the face that he can’t control himself or his emotions because he never had someone there to teach him.

This is where I wanna bring Shiro into the picture. They obviously knew each other through the Garrison ( my ships aside here ) they were most likely friends before Shiro went off to Kerberos. So not only had Keith finally made a friend, but he then had to watch them go off into space and then be reported missing. There’s another instance of loss in his life and he doesn’t know how to cop so what happens? He drops out because of disciplinary issues. Aka he couldn’t keep his temper in check because again, he bottled his feelings until the point where he was a human catalyst and exploded.

After dropping out Keith had basically no where to go so he found himself in an old shack. Where he got to stew on his feelings alone for a few months. This is when the realization that everything in his life as amounted to nothing hits him. His parents are both gone, his one and only friend is presumed dead in space and he dropped out of a top flight school where he was at the top of his class only to end up ALONE. Out of the 3 canonically relevant people he’d ever been close to in his life, all of three of them had left him. That’s when the depression hits him harder than before. He struggles waking up every day he struggles taking care of himself. His hair grows out he forgets how to interact with people. He doesn’t know how to function as a person anymore.

After awhile it was too much for him. He feels like he never deserved a chance to be born with in the first place because whatever high being there is out there ( I personally don’t think Keith is religious ) gave him this sort of life even after he busted his ass to try and become someone. Yet there he was, thrown out in the dirt once again.

Another thing I’d like to touch on is how Keith actually views himself because that’s super important to me and how I write him.

Keith doesn’t view himself in a good light at all for all the reasons I’ve already listed. Keith doesn’t see himself as the ‘number one pilot’ the rest of the team might see him for. He’s flawed. He can’t deal with most social situations without getting aggressive or awkward because honestly he’s had more interaction with people in the first two episodes of voltron than nearly his entire life prior to him finding Shiro again. So of course he’s awkward and quiet unless provoked. ( which honestly isn’t a hard thing to do BUT i digress ) He also has a hard time grasping a lot of social concepts that many people think are second nature. ( insert the i say vol you say tron example here ) The reason why he’s so hung up on the whole i say voltron deal is because to him, it makes more logical sense to just say voltron than to say something that, while yes it’s supposed to be humorous, just doesn’t make any sense to him. Keith isn’t one for humor that isn’t direct/blunt because a lot of the time his brain can’t wrap itself around the concept.

I also want to touch on his the relationships he holds with the paladins themselves and how he views their input.

I’d like to start this off with the beginning of season three whenever they were all deciding who was going to pilot the black lion. Their aggression towards him confessing that Shiro kept being like ‘i want you to lead voltron’ but having never mentioned it to anyone else, not even to coran or allura is like a huge kick in the face to the little confidence he had in himself.  One because he hates being rejected because that’s all he’s ever been his entire life. Two, is because he thought the team thought more highly of him than just the loner and yet there they were calling him out and making him feel like he was at the bottom of the barrel. The only talent any of them ever acknowledge is his piloting skills. Nothing else about him shines, he’s just a good pilot to them.

Moving on to whenever they all actually go in the black lion. Keith was the LAST to attempt and honestly he probably only attempted because everyone else was pressuring him to. He had to try right? Except he never wanted to lead voltron in the first place. He doesn’t have the skill set to lead he doesn’t have the qualities of a leader. Even after the black lion responds to him he wants to deny it, he wants to let someone else do it because he can’t have such a big responsibility placed on him whenever he knows he’s going to fail.

That’s when everyone starts to congratulate him and he feels like he’s just been kicked in the teeth. He knows their true feelings, he knows that know of them really value his ability to pilot over him and yet there they were being like ‘oh you’re going to be a great leader.’ Yet he wasn’t. He almost got Allura killed. They wanted him to lead so he did, and he failed.

Once again he’d failed. He failed his mother’s love, his fathers legacy, and how he’d failed Shiro. That only made the depression worse.

Moving back all the way to season 1 I want to talk about the famous ‘bonding moment’ that was humorously touched in the show.

The reason ( I feel at least ) Keith is so upset about Lance not remembering it is because for the first time since Shiro, Keith had found someone that had seen him in a good light. Someone that had complimented him. Even after all the headassery that Lance had started with Keith he thought they made a good team, and this good team work is shown time and time again throughout the show and yet the fact that Lance forgets it just solidifies to Keith that nothing he does is worth remembering.

This is the time where I put my little blurb about Lance and Keith and their interactions

So Lance starts basically everything in the rivalry between the two of them. Literally within the first five minutes of meeting Keith, Lance is already shoving his superiority down his throat. At first Keith didn’t understand why Lance was like this and why Lance kept pushing it on him. ( he even finds it somewhat annoying and like Lance has a problem ) Yet as time goes on the rivalry turns into a more competitive nature that Keith starts to play back with. At first Keith really just wanted Lance to get off his case, and now it’s like their rivalry has brought them closer together by the time season 3 rolls around.

My last few little blurbs before I close off this novel of a meta

Keith deals with anxiety and depression that’s almost without a doubt 100% canon in my eyes. The way he acts and the way he carries himself and how he speaks and the way he words things and all this stuff is clearly a sign that he’s struggling with it and he doesn’t know how to control it, yet he also doesn’t want to admit that he has a problem because he doesn’t want to fail everyone on the team yet again.

Keith also values everyone on his team way more than what he lets on. He protects Allura from the arusian that comes to the castle asking why the lion goddess is mad. He catches Pidge from being thrown and all the times he’s thrown his sword to protect Lance and everything else he’s done. He wants to protect the team because they’ve become almost like his first real family. Yet he’s also terrified that this new family will drop him too, just like everyone else.

Keith struggles with his galra side. He struggles taking in the fact that he’s not what he thought he was his entire life and that just makes him not know who he is even more. Sometimes whenever he looks in the mirror he doesn’t see himself, but instead Zarkon or Lotor because that’s where part of him is from. He hates the term ‘galra keith’ because it’s like the fact once everyone knows that he’s galra he’s instantly not himself anymore but instead this evil abomination that’s wiped out entire systems with his army.  Him being Galra is just the nail in the coffin that once again, he’s a huge disappointment to everyone.

He fears rejection big time. Because all anyone has ever done from the get go is reject him. His mother rejected him by leaving, he rejected himself from the garrison. Lance rejects him by throwing all of his flaws in his face. He can’t catch a break. He tries so hard to prove to everyone that he’s more than the broken parts of him that he hides away. He wants to try and prove to everyone ( including himself ) that he can be more than just some socially awkward teenager.

In closing I’d like to bring up the song lyric I put at the top of this post

Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear?

This is basically how Keith views himself. He honestly thinks he’s replaceable. They could find someone else in the galaxy with his piloting skills. They could find a new red paladin that wasn’t the loner emo brooding hot head. He feels like everyone on the team has forgotten that hey, he’s a person with feelings too. Not just some teenage kid who gets angry all the time for the hell of it. He feels like if he died, he’d die alone. If he died no one would care because he never really amounted to anything in life. He never changed anyone’s life or impacted others the way some have done for him. If he died no one would miss him because he doesn’t even have a family on earth to go back to. He thinks that if he died, everyone would just keep on living and forget about him.

And being forgotten is his biggest fear.

Not My Fault (Zahra/Craig drabble)

Book: Endless summer

Genre:Angst

Rating: T

Shipping: Zahra x Craig

“I can’t BELIEVE you!” Zahra said running into her room. She tried to close her door but he entered right after her.

“Zahra, please–”

“What the FUCK did I just see, Hsiao?” She complained “You were making out with that… with that… whatever the fuck that whore’s name was!”

She turned around, couldn’t stand to look at him. Silence fell between them.

He snapped at her “Well what the fuck did you expect?!”

She turned back around, anger boiling in her. “Excuse me?!”

“Yeah! Maybe if you put the tiniest bit of effort into our… whatever we have together! I wouldn’t give in!”

“Oh, so I’M too blame, huh?!” She said while gritting her teeth and picking up a fist sized glass figurine and throwing it at him. He dodged it making the object shatter against the wall.

“Get out! I can’t look at you!” She hid her face in her palms.

“… it’s over.”

“What?” He whispered.

“Leave my dorm… right now, get OUT!” She screamed, tears welling up in her eyes. He approached her and took her hands in his. She kept pushing him away until he pressed her elbows against her body, rendering her immobile.

She stared at him. His expression was soft and concerned.

“Zahra I–” He started but couldn’t continue… he had no excuses.

She looked away to hide the tear running down her cheek.

“Leave me…” They stood in silence for another minute.

He shook his head “Fine…”

He let her go and headed towards the door, slamming it shut after himself.

She set on her bed, burying her head in her hands once again.

“Okay… calm down, Zahra… who even IS he to make you cry?” She wiped her face.

“Pfft, I didn’t put effort into the relationship… Fuck him…” She lied down, facing the wall.

“It’s not my fault…”

                                               -°-°-°-°-°-°-°-

She was in the comfort of her new, 5 floor “home”. It was a very large mansion. Gift from her new “boss”. She despised it, along with everything associated with him. But she was forced to love it.

She put on a silk, purple robe that came in the closet. She didn’t want to wear it at all. But she WAS watched at all times. Despite the fact that she hacked into almost all the cameras Rourke sat up in her mansion, a couple were still functional.

It was past midnight. She was in her bed. But sleep never came peacefully to her anymore. Her eyes were fluttering close when she heard a loud noise outside her bedroom. It made her jump.

She picked up her trusty knife and made her way towards the huge hall outside her bedroom.

“I ain’t calling out ‘hello’ for you bastard.” She whispered.

She stood in the middle of the vast, looking around to find the source of the noise. She jumped when she felt something brush against her legs.

Zahra looked down to see her black cat nuzzle against her feet. She got it to not feel lonely.

“Hey, you…” She said, petting it. “Were you the source of that noise? little troublemaker, heh…” She laughed.

“Hey, Z.” She gasped in surprise after hearing that and turned around to see him

“Craig…” Zahra dropped her knife and walked back until she hit a wall, her hands pressed against it in terror. She shook her head. “No no no… You’re not real…”

“You’re dead ”

She closed her eyes and walked back to her bedroom, shutting the door… But he already reappeared there.

He shrugged “Bummer…”

“Why are you… doing this to me..?” She cried “Or rather why am I doing this to myself…”

“Hey… don’t cry… Are you… afraid of me?” He asked

She laughed weakly, wiping her eyes. “No … How can I be?”

As her laugh disappeared, she was back to tears. She slided down her bedroom door

He moved to sit down next to her. “You’re crying again…”

“Because you’re not actually here…” She whispered.

“Hell yeah I am! Right… here” he said putting his hand on her chest.

He hugged her but she resisted. “Leave me… please…”

“I did that once already… not anymore…”

Zahra cupped Craig’s face in her hands. Stroking his cheek. But suddenly she felt liquid drip from her hands to the floor, she looked down to see the red drops on the ground… She looked back and saw Craig, his face bloodied, a huge gash on his forehead.

Zahra sat upright, awakened by her own scream, panting and sweating heavily “Just… as I thought… a nightmare… again…” She hugged her knees to her chest, crying with tears running down her face. “It’s my fault… Everything is my fault…” She rubbed her face and looked at the time.

“Well… I guess sleeping past 4 am is not an option for me anymore.” She picked up her phone and entered a secret file and clicked on a video and Craig’s smiling face appeared.

“Here I am after my first victory in the football team… WOOHOO, are you proud of me, mom?”

Zahra chuckled, stroking her phone screen

“I don’t know about your mom, but I’m sure proud of you.” Her old, blond, pink sweater wearing self appeared in the frame.

“Ooooh, here��s my number one fan!” He wrapped an arm around her. Her blond self pulled a funny duck-face and winked at the camera

“Does the victor deserve a triumphant kiss?” He asked playfully tapping his own cheek and Zahra laughed turning his face towards hers.

“Sure does.” She pressed her lips against his in a tender kiss. When they broke it he smiled at her like an idiot then at the camera.

“I love my girl.”

She replayed that part over and over, tears still flowing.

“I love you too… And I should have told you that before–” She inhaled sharply to keep herself from breaking down again.

“Don’t worry, Craig…” she said looking at her laptop. “I’ll avenge you…”

AUTHOR’S NOTE: OKAAAAAAAAY so… I have TOO many feelings after Zahra’s idol… so this will be ONE of the fics that I will post for this ultimate OTP. Hope you enjoy this one!! also does this qualify as a drabble idek

ZOINKS for the ask meme

ty mon cher amie~

ask me: FANDOM EDITION

under the cut because i ended up rambling a lot

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go

um fan related like… a fan theory? cuz ok. ok. i got this, i love theories.  i know it’s a popular theory that maxwell and/or bertrand are involved with the traitor thing and!! as much as i don’t want to believe it… i honestly think the idea has merit (and angst. let us think of the glorious angst.)

like shit i’ve been replaying trr and wtf i’ve just had these doubts in my mind like. why is drake implying that maxwell’s sketchy in chapter 2. why is maxwell so nice to mc even?? is he really that friendly? Is he just desperate? is it an act that became real??? WE BARELY TALKED IN THE INTRO CHAPTER WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY BRINGING ME TO YOUR PARADISE OF A COUNTRY, BOY

(Idek what i’m saying anymore my brain left the building sometime between 10 am and 1 pm)

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

what’s it gonna by shura. hmm. i initially associated this song with a ship from another fandom, aka mc/black magic from the heroes rise trilogy, but… maaaybe mc/maxwell?

because the whole “I’m on my own/You’re at the beach/Hundreds of miles away” line reminds me of that scene in the beach party where maxwell’s off on his own while mc swims with hana and drake. (let’s say that the “hundreds of miles” are a metaphorical distance ok) 

and the whole song has this whole… ambivalent, torpe kind of longing? where the singer has feelings for someone, but they don’t want to admit their feelings. it’s like they really want to be with this person, but they expect their crush to turn them down (”if you let me down, let me down slow”)

from there it’s easy to imagine maxwell having a crush on mc and not confessing because of the whole ‘sponsoring her’ thing + i believe he’s insecure and doesn’t think mc will actually reciprocate his feelings and/or choose him over liam and/or the other LIs

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

lmao the l.ord of the flies fandom. i got into an argument about how people were portraying this one character as snow white (even though canon has stated his skin to be “swarthy” or dark skinned) because of a popular artist’s depiction of him. and this artist had done that, saying it’s to “differentiate said character from the other small dark skinned boy” which in itself is racist because it’s assuming that all poc look alike

and long story short, the person i was arguing with started spreading shit in the main tags which got everyone’s attention; the fandom was divided about it since they stuck with the white-washed version of the character for so long. and then anons started bullying RPers who chose white face claims… my friends in the fandom were very divided on it, and i just left cuz it was getting toxic so yeah.

N - Your favorite fanfiction or fan author

…lol it’s also you HAHAHA it’s always such a boon to read about your ocs and their antics i love them i love the way you write it’s so poetic and beautiful without becoming purple prose

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

i love you guys! i admire your creativity and talent and y’all are so interesting!! and i wish i could talk to you more without being so awkward AHHA i’m sorrrrry

S - Show us an example of your personal head canon

maxwell is pansexual, though he rarely has (romantic) crushes that last past a few days. 

[dankpaladin]

Heyo!! OMG MY OWN TAG! I feel very honored! Well I do have Google with all its extras and Skype(all these to talk to people directly) but ive been debating whether to get tumblr or Twitter. I don't which to get both have their merits and downsides so... Idek any more :// I saw the content you've been posting, IT IS AWESOME! You go tell em! I found ur blog on a Voltron Directory Blog they had u listed and said it's ship free so here I am! ~Z

Part 2 (bc I talk too much): I LOVED THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! It was beautiful (Lance lacked in that department tho but I feel like they’re building him up for S3) I wish they would regard Coran as more of a caring character than a comic relief one (so much potential flashbacks w/Altean past!). The Keith arc tho. My soul cannot take it anymore. Hunk and Keith bonding! (It’s precious)! ~Z

P3(shut youp Z!): I want a direct opinion on how to call Pidge? My siblings, my bestie (i brainwashed them in joining the fandom *cackles*)and I regard her as a she but the fandom say that we are against gender fluid characters and I got scared cause I didn’t mean that!? But Pidge was awesome! (Leads on her bro!!) WHERE IS SHIRO HE BETTER BE ALIVE DREAMWORKS OR THIS GIRL WILL BE MAD! All in all I love Voltron more. Ur opinion? ~Z

Yes! you have your own tag! :-) a good way to file our discussions in one place! and oh ok that makes a lot of sense. my sister doesn’t have social media either but she has a fair idea of what’s going on in fandom thanks to me & bcos of her own lurking as well. and thats totally fine! there’s no need to force yourself to make either! OH lmao I completely forgot abt the directory. the description is sorta inaccurate now since Im not Lnce biased anymore so. though I will still be ship free! Thank u for your support and kind words! 💓

I agree abt Coran. tbh he is the True Space Mom, like I really enjoyed his moments with Lance in S1 like when he consoled him on his homesickness & then when they were both cleaning the cryo-pods. and like.. how he cares about Allura so much!?! ok and also, Im sure you’ve heard this already bc i dont think anybody was impressed lmao but I wasn’t a big fan of how they shoehorned Hunk into a comic relief role either, like the food jokes were just.. poor taste. I don’t think the creators meant to demean him in any way, but with the more serious & weighty tone of the main arc focusing on Keith and his heritage, they needed to have that comic relief to balance it out. Not justifying Hunk’s treatment he rly did deserve better but I can see why they did that. I dont like it though.

Lmao the fandom is SO harsh Im sorry you were made 2 feel that way. I think both she & they pronouns are fair game. though its canon that Pidge identifies as a girl—whether trans or cis is all headcanon territory—thanks to that one scene where she was told to ‘man up’. To add though, I see her as sort of on the spectrum... like a demigirl. i don’t think she feels strongly about gender.. as in.. she doesnt seem to hinge a lot of her identity on it? not saying that gender unimportant to her, but compared to the grand scheme of things: the whereabouts of her brother, being a paladin of voltron etc, I doubt she puts a lot of weight into it. but when she is confronted with it lmao like that little scene in the space mall and how confused she was.. Pidge is still young and like, gender is fluid, like you said. she’s probably trying to get a grip on her own gender identity herself .. and thats very much an ongoing process. I think its really open to interpretation, so either one is all right. I think he/him pronouns would be misgendering though since she did express discomfort*

Pidge was really endearing throughout the season THOUGH! I have a little. bit of criticism. but its not about her, but how her intelligence was framed? it was poor taste how the show needed to make Lance & Hunk look dumb to make Pidge look smart. considering race and all, it’s really REALLY! poor taste having to discredit two brown boys’ intelligence in order to elevate a white person’s? Like i know the creators probably didn’t mean to do that, but thats what happened when they made both Hunk & Lance the comic reliefs! I’m sure there is a way to frame Pidge as her genius self without degrading H&L, like u could have them nodding along & extending upon her ideas. HUNK at the very least who’s supposed to be the engineer of the team should have been 😕. I read somewhere on a twitter that they could both be like translators lmao, and like explain Pidge’s rambles in layman’s terms to Shiro and Keith (who prob know nothing abt engineering and all that, being solely pilots and all) and Allura and whoever else is lost lmao. Like i don’t think making them look dumb was necessary at all 😔

Im super concerned about Shiro as well 😭 Other fans are guessing he’s stuck on that astral plane which makes sense of his really really abrupt disappearance. im really curious abt whether his stay in the astral plane will involve more black lion flashbacks + more fleshing out on the history of Voltron? That would be really interesting.

And no! dont shut up! Ever!! I’m eager to read & discuss as u can see w my own long response lol! This was really enjoyable to reply to!! 

*note: I’m not an expert on gender identity.. like I do relate to Pidge abt this a lot lol so if I said anything offensive/incorrect, please let me know so I can improve upon myself!
