#i wont be able to rely on it as i always have because it won't be there

Okay but how would Anakin react to a short ass trying to top him. Because i cannot shake the need to dominate Anakin. Like i just wana pounce and wrestle him into submission before fucking his brains out. I want to ruin him. But i know even without the force its physically not possible as a 4'9 ankle biter but my god the thoughts wont stop 😭😭😭

LEEEEEEET'S TALK ABOUT IT, and I apologize if this ends up being a long tangent, but as a 4'11 switch who's had more submissives than dominants, I feel you! While there are always exceptions, the reality is we will likely never be able to have a dominance style that relies on intimidation or physically overpowering people, but that doesn't mean dominance is an impossibility!

Thinking about this from an Anakin-centric perspective, I'm gonna be honest, even if you WERE taller, stronger, aided by the force, you still wouldn't be able wrestle him into submission because that's Anakin H. Skywalker, that's Darth Vader, that's the Hero With No Fear, it's a losing battle regardless. But like I said, there are other ways to dominate, and what you have is the benefit of a misleading appearance.

Anakin is a cocky man who is often blinded by his love and desire, with that it'd be more of a game of easing him into submission and not showing your cards until he's on his back with his eyes rolling into his head and no clue how you got him there.

If it were me, I'd start playful, right. Distract him from whatever little droid or trinket he's modding in his spare time with a deep kiss and strategic brush of his jaw that implies more. Pull away, but only a little, enough to make him want to close the gap again and when he tries to, pull away entirely. It's bait and you'll see it in his eyes, intrigue for what exactly you're playing at. With your fingers tucked behind his belt, pull him with you; lead him to the bed and kiss him again, stripping off his outer robes and tabards, leaving nothing but his base layers. Before he can get you on your back, make sure his legs are right up against the bed so you can push him against it and climb on top of him.

Understand that, while caught off guard by this, Anakin still probably won't take you seriously at this point, but he's playful when he wants to be and he'd be amused if anything, so you're in a good spot. Keep an unsuspecting ere about it for now though, like you don't quite know what you're doing yet, like you're playing dress up. He'll put his hands on your hips and guide you back and forth against his hardening dick, "explaining to you" with his body what comes next when one is on top. Keep grinding, run your fingers against his skin, kiss his neck and jaw and what little of his chest is exposed while you rub yourself on him until he can't help but grind back. Pull his trousers low on his waist until his cock is exposed. Get him so hard and wanton that he begins digging his dull nails into your thighs, itching to flip you over and put himself on top. When his fingers curl under you, shove your hands beneath the hem of his shirt.

Tease your fingers over the expanse of his body and gyrate faster on his bare cock, as if you're the one losing control. Scrape the side of his ribs with your nails and listen to how the biting pain makes him purr. Kiss him through it. Bring his shirt higher until it lifts over his head and up the expanse of his broad shoulders, his biceps, then his elbows and that's where you spread your hands out over the fabric, locking it tight against his arm and putting your whole weight down on the bed.

It's an awkward restraint position to be in. I honestly think his initial thought would be that you meant to go for the wrists but aren't tall enough, however, you're exactly where you need to be. At his wrists, he'd have the option of using the full strength of his arms to break free; simple pivot from the shoulder is all it would take, but in this position, all he has is his upper arm strength and the awkward flailing at anything below the elbow. Could he break out of it? Oh absolutely, but the chains are the easy part, it's what goes on in here that's hard, Mentally you've already got him halfway there anyway. I personally think he'd be so intrigued from the moment he realized you're serious about this, that somehow you got him locked down with your pretty chest in his face, that he wants to see you go through with it now. Remember how hard you made him, remember that he's already dripping to be inside you.

Before his amusement runs out and he uses the full extent of his power to flip you over and have his way with you, get up close to his ear and make sure he knows "if you try to get free, I'll stop. Now put your cock in me." He'll have just enough range of motion in his arms to guide it into you with the force.

Now have fun fucking his brains out ♥️

Never underestimate your ability to be dominant, to take control of a scene. In my opinion dominance and submission is less about inherent power, but rather how power is transfered from one person to another, is it coaxed? Is it given on a silver platter, bent over in supplication? Is it won, is it bartered for? Everyone has their own way of getting and giving.

Contrast, unconventionality, the mental game of it, that's what's beautiful to me about BDSM now go forth and be a tiny Dom ♥️♥️♥️💖

Hi Lexi

What do you think of partially blinded Vi? You never seem to draw her that way, and I kind of just wanted to know what do you think of it as a certified Vi lover.

I personally think that while something like this can be "cool" (as in, being beneficial to the character design), it's handled quite poor for Vi and it just looks a bit... ungrateful. Simply doesn't look good, doesn't fit her personality or character (am I missing something?) and it doesn't seem to fit or suit her...unlike Kenny's iconic eyepatch. To me, it has become a pivotal thing in his design to a degree in which Kenny with both eyes seems a bit odd looking. I see it as a symbol which stands for Ken being a martyr and all he's lost and sacrificed. He is all about family and helping those he loved, his loved ones truly were the "apple of his eye". It all makes sense, doesn't it?

But for Vi, it's excatly the opposite. I'm just so sorry to see her like this. 😭😭😭 I don't think it makes sense in any way. Louis losing his tongue because he's so talkative and "won't shut up" does kind of make sense, but I cant help but see Violet losing sight as kind of lazy writing. "We need something bad happening to her!!! suffer the children!!!'- the writers exclaimed.

i think vi losing her eyesight is incredibly impactful on her character and i honestly dont understand why some people say its lazy writing. especially since it was foreshadowed multiple times. vi losing her eyesight i think is even more impactful on her character than louis losing his tongue because at least louis still has his music to express himself and uplift spirits through (and its not like he cant communicate At All. his note still makes clem laugh). the reason i dont draw blind vi very often is because of how sad it is to me. for multiple reasons

violets whole thing is wanting to be able to protect the people she cares about, and feels immense grief and guilt about the times she feels shes failed them (thinks if she had been there with the twins that day that she couldve done something to save them. feels she failed everyone taken by the raiders. is scared of failing clem too "if something happened to you because of me? i cant lose you too. i wont". its why she cant leave minnie after shooting her. and a kidnapped vi attacks clem because she doesnt want anyone else to get hurt. hell it even ties back to her grandma and feeling guilty about not doing anything for her)

so for her to lose her eyesight? she took pride in her ability to fight and now she cant do that anymore. cant protect the people she loves. and as someone who started the season as an isolated loner, it forces her to rely on those around her for help, stripping her of her independence (and her independence is what allowed her to stand up against the group for clem when it came to the marlon situation in ep2). a blinded vi is forced into accepting community, whereas a saved violet accepts it on her own. her and clem turn ericsons into the home violet could never see it as

the other reason blind vi makes me so sad is that it is Directly a result of clems actions. kidnapped vi had nothing and wanted nothing to do with the bomb, and yet shes the ONLY ONE who gets hurt by it. clem choosing to let vi be taken means clem both breaks her heart, and then burns out her eyes. louis and his tongue is between him and lilly and was a choice THEY each made outside of clems direct influence (even if it was clem who inspired him to speak up, it is ultimately his choice to keep talking, and lilly hurts him for it. its sad he gets punished for a character moment, but clem had no direct hand in him losing his tongue. its why hes not angry to see her in the cell. he doesnt blame clem for what happened), but the way vi is feeling in that cell is DIRECTLY due to clems actions. vi feels like clem abandoned her after she had put herself on the line for her multiple times. she always had clems back but clem didnt have hers. clem is the one who planted the bomb and vi gets caught in the blast. clem hurts her emotionally And physically. and vi apologizes for getting upset (she tries to apologize on the beach too before theyre forced out in the cart, so she felt wrong for those actions immediately even tho they were understandable. lilly and minnie used her moment of weakness to get in her head. she just wanted everyone to be safe)

kidnapped blinded vi is just so incredibly sad to me, especially when you compare her to a fully realized violet. a violet who has come into herself, has confidence, has opened up, has stopped pushing people away out of fear and lets herself love again. shes a leader. a fighter. a protector. and those are all things a blinded violet loses

neither vi losing her eyes or louis losing his tongue is supposed to add anything to their characters. its about what theyve lost. both of them have important parts of their identity stripped away from them after being taken by the delta. its supposed to be sad. heartbreaking. regrettable. unfortunate. they have not gained anything by their time at the delta, only lost important parts of themselves to it

Casey J in G?F

More info dump? Yes sir – but this time I'm gonna talk mainly about our beloved Casey j. We all know and love our future boy and wish him the very best life that he can have after all that he went through – BUT – I can't stop thinking about the fact that – he will need probably a looong time to actually settle in, even if he will learn the way of "the simple life of a teenager" – this boy still lost – literally everyone but he also gained them all back – but different – they wont be the same people he once knew because they wont go through the same things – even if their key thing will stay – they still wont be the people he once knew – but they will probably look like them the more they grow up and how difficult is to let go of something when that very something is right Infront of your eyes but  different ? or the survival guilt he must be dealing with? I personally think – he would want to love the simple – less stressful life – but wont be able to – even if he would try to work through his trauma and all – it not something he will ever be able to shake completely - sure he might leave to see the world one day, alone or with someone, and he will get the chance to see thew world he fought tooth and nail to save – and slowly but surely he would learn to love this place, even with it bitter moments. now here it's where I come with Yummi eheh their relationship is actually my favorite – (sorry Leo <3 I love you with all my heart) because – as I see it – When Baby Yummi first joins their family, Casey gets to witness a very familiar behavior from the fam, the parental behavior from Leo, the uncley vibes from the turtles, this baby is basically plays a similar role that was belongs to him back in his time line – he will be a little bit distance from her in the beginning, not on purpose it will just happen- they will share their sweet moments here and there but very few in her first couple of years – until she learns to walk and talk enough that when she gets really clingy to his specifically so he plays along, he really do cares for her, its just – hard- after everything , but then – they share a small moment when she asks him if he's going to join them to some place, he says no cause of reasons, so she claims she won't go either and when asking her why – cause she was so excited to go she will say she wants to go with him cause its always much more fun when he's around – she doesn’t even gives to it much attention, she probably draws or something, but Casey – he think about it a little bit more, Yummi wasn’t present in his time line – she can't because she was created as a result of the Kraang invasion and defeat, and although he saw the world met people that nowadays are alive instead of dead or surviving, saw kids that got the chance to grow up and be born at all – he wasn’t really closed to all that – and maybe that why he didn’t felt a connection to this reality yet? He's always around the people who sometimes he sees the ghost of their past? Other? Self? And he loved them to death don’t get me wrong, but Yummi specifically (up to this point of the story) is the only very closed person to him who doesn’t have "another version of". Casey had to learn to love the world his whole family knew and tried to fight back to save it – but he never had that connection to that world, he was a little bit to stuck in the past, to focus on the ghost of people that wont ever be that it was hard for him to love the present that they all gave him. So – this kid – that little gremlin is one of his first connections to this reality that doesn’t rely on something from his timeline – if that makes sense? It makes sense to me lol. Casey's 20's are ups and down, but from this point forward – I think he will find it much easier to breathe and be present in this timeline. maybe part 2 someday – cause their relationship get's a serious twist when its revealed  and Yummi is part Kraang lol (here are scracps of a comic i worked on but will never finish - it takes place after Yummi's whole - Kraang arc)

I love reading your analysis of Nagireo!

One thing I was wondering, what do you think of Nagi (foreshadowed) future slump?

I feel like things will get dire for him, and I can't help but wonder how Reo would react.

Nagi feels very... emotionally immature and while Reo can be very fiery and we saw how emotional he can get, he's the one that feels more in touch with his own emotions and has better life experience.

For better or worse, being away from Reo forced Nagi to confront his own feelings more.

I wonder if Reo won't realize they got back together too early and leave him (this time maybe more amicably? Or maybe force himself to leave him) for his own sake.

Ego's dialog feels very ominous... they were very happy in that moment but there is a very sense of "now what?".

thank u so much, i feel like i never express myself well enough esp with characters and relationships im passionate abt so that means a lot 🥺

yeah i get what u mean about nagi's emotional immaturity...in the latest match, when isagi asked him how he was able to make his best play yet a reality, nagi  didnt really understand what had happened. he only wanted to beat isagi, that has been his first goal, the first step to achieve the bigger dream he shares with reo. 

and while he himself couldnt see that, reo was the first to notice despite everything that happened between them, so he created a chance for him to have a 1v1 with isagi. 

the problem is that, as isagi points out later, if u dont understand how u made something happen, you probably wont be able to be consistent and replicate it (this has been a recurring theme of blk since the start of the manga):

a goal that u only made happen because u had the person who knows u the best and is your closest friend give you exactly what you need in the moment, has little value in the grand scheme of things. Without a clear goal and reo’s help, nagi wouldnt have been able to do something like that. 

So the next step he should be taking is working on his weapons, instead of relying on the perfect opportunities reo can provide him with.

maybe its time for nagi to try and catch up to reo, and not only in terms of play-making 

but also in terms of self awareness 

i also love the fact that while reo can seem completely selfless when he declares this, he is also completely selfish, cause at the end of the day hes doing this for his dream, for himself. he loves playing with nagi and making him score goals, but his hard work which got him to where he is now doesnt rely on nagi being there, he hasnt abandoned himself in favor of nagi. 

BUT he still seems to always choose nagi over anyone when they are playing together and even though my shipping heart is tempted, i think thats not a good thing at all... cause their cooperation may be top class, but it also makes them predictable after a while. 

reo has learnt to play without nagi, but he needs to learn how play with nagi without forgetting everyone else on his team. 

so the way i see it, reo has made more significant progress than nagi, but he still needs to work on seeing the bigger picture when nagi is by his side.

nagi on the other hand has even more things he needs to work on. he shouldnt feel reassured bc of that one (miracle) goal or bc he managed to beat isagi once. if he ended up satisfied with just that, then he wouldnt belong in the world of professional players

Ego is right when he said that confidence and delusion are 2 different things. Nagi needs the power that will enable him to fight alone in any situation and to obtain that power, he has to confront his feelings, his weapons and his shortcomings. and that demands soul searching, practice and a lot of thinking, all things i bet nagi thinks are a pain pftt.

but i want to be optimistic and think of this as another challenge he (actually, both of them) will have to conquer. im very conflicted though, cause the way i see it, what reo needs to work on now requires them to be on the same team, while what nagi needs to work on requires alone time.

in conclusion, things may have worked out between them in terms of understanding each other, but im hoping they start understanding themselves more; acknowledging their weaknesses and taking the necessary measures to overcome them. 

i do think that reo the way he is now is more likely to realise what needs to be done than nagi, whose issues are the most urgent in my opinion. so i can def see them going their separate ways for a while again, whether its reo making that decision, or nagi, or both of them together (with the latter being the ideal for me).

From the OC suffering asks: 5 and 19 for Vicco, Valaire, and Joris respectively pls! :D

Thank you for the ask! 💜

You can ask me more questions to make my OCs suffer here.

5. What's their moral compass like?

This is a difficult question if I think of where they live. Can you afford to have morals in NC? Not sure about that. But I guess they have some borders they wont cross.

Valaire: He was made a killer for Arasaka, an indoctrinated puppet. He got orders, and he killed without questioning. Until he fucked up a kill, he suffered from nightmares after this and started questioning every order he cared out. He realized what he was, and he was disgusted by himself. Arasaka did notice of course and if he wnated to survive he had to go rogue and kill his former comrades who were sent for him.

Since he hadn't much of a choice he became a merc after this and here is where his morals come into play. He picks his gigs carefully and will refuse some gigs when it is not clear who's in the wrong or right. Which is sometimes very tricky. If he knows "someone" is innocent he will not kill them. Period.

He knows he looses a shit ton of money due to this, but he has enough to maintain himself. So maybe that's why he is able to be picky.

Vicco: "Morals? Pfft. I didn't survive the streets of NC as a kid because I had morals." Vicco does nearly everything to get by, if they must. They don't really care. They don't kill if they don't have to. But they wont refuse it either if it brings them some extra. Since they are a joytoy and a Mox, they will protect their people, whatever the cost. Vicco is a vengeful person and will even hunt those that wronged them or the Moxes. They hate Tiger Claws and Maelstrom with passion and will kill them sometimes on sight. Joris: Joris' morals are fluent. He will feed Val with intel on gigs that Val can decide if he wants to take the gig or not. In the cases that Val refuses gigs, he will most likely take them instead and keeps it in the family. Val gets the credit, he gets the money. If he comes across intel on people that wronged Vicco and/or the moxes, he will give it to them, fully knowing that they will use it. If it comes to netrunner gigs, he very rarely refuses gigs. He knows his limits and only those limits are his moral compass so to speak. He wont risk his life for someone elses gain.

all 3: What applies to all 3 of them is, that they would never! harm children.

19. How do they view the world? Are they an optimist? A pessimist? A realist?

I could make this question pretty short, but I won't 😉

Valaire: Valaire is a mix between a pessimist and a realist, it depends on the situation. He was: - sold out by his father to a corpo family - made a killer for Arasaka - ended up as merc for whoever paid him - killed by Dex - killed by the Relic*

Who could be still optimistic with that shit? The older he gets though, he will see that most things that happened, could be seen as "good" in hindsight. He will be grateful for everything he gained, especially Kerry and his brother.

*this is still my "before" PL hc. I'm still thinking of a PL ending that I can incorporate into his story, becuase he would for sure run with the FIA either way. But I'm not quite sure with whom he would more likely side. He can relate to Songbird very much, but he also has many of Reed's traits.

Vicco: Vicco is a mix between optimist and realist. Their whole life people only threw shit at them constantly so now that their life has become "stable" more or less, they'd allow themselves to be optimistic sometimes. They found people they could rely on, Jackie, Faye, Valaire and Joris which changed their lives always to the better as it was before.

Joris: He is a realist to the core. Only facts matter to him. When Valaire is being pessimistic he will cheer him up with factual things, but he also will Vicco get down to the ground if they fly too high. Which Vicco not appreciates often. Thank you again for the ask, I hope your curiosity is sated, and if not, you know where my inbox is 😃

[audiovisualrecall]

I have an issue which is that. I got so used to doing everything with steph that now that she's married and moved out etc... I'm kind of at a loss. Steph always likes to do at least similar activities that I like: kayaking, art/creative stuff, iceskating, visiting certain types of stores, bikeriding, going on 'adventures', and she always is like, we do stuff together in the summer or on vacation, if we go to dinner she and I can leave early if our parents want to stay longer like for live music, and part of it is I don't drive and steph does so I rely on her being able to drive but even still. And we did the trip to the cape together with me as navigator and had a good time, we did our own thing, we managed to deal with each other's meltdowns (or near-meltdowns, and avoid the full explosions) and irritations etc. Anyway my parents are planning on going to the cape and offered to have me go with them and I leapt at the opportunity because I LOVE the cape, I love being by the water. But I don't know if I'll enjoy the trip half as much if I can't just go off and kayak or rent a bike, and maybe I could find a way to do it solo, but would I *enjoy* the activity on my own????? I like relaxing on my own, yes. But activities I much prefer to do with someone else to talk to and laugh with! And I'm an anxious bean, I don't know if I'd be brave enough, anyway. Some activities I couldn't get to without a car. I don't know. And I can't leave a restaurant early when I'm sick of the music or tired, I won't have the freedom without the ability to drive myself even if i wanted to do fun things on my own anyway. And my parents wont want to do the same activities. Do I really want to go to the cape and just hang out by the beach the entire time? Except for the trips to towns to walk around (and buy tchatchkes) and invariably I always have at least one meltdown during those outings 🤷‍♀️ idk.

[editorandchief]

Would you write a Tommy Shelby imagine where he's in love with Ada's best friend from childhood who's an honorary Shelby, so Polly calls her to deal with Tommy when he's overworking himself knowing that he'll do whatever the reader says/wants so the reader forces him to take a break and it's basically an unofficial date ending with them becoming official couple to no surprise to anyone since she's always been Tommy's girl? Thank you!

Warning: none

Requested: Yes

"For the love of god Tomas the work will still be there when you get back."

"I know the work will be here when I get back because its here now Pol," Tommy relied. "I'll finish up in a bit.

Picking up another file before adjusting his glasses on his face.

"That's what you said last nigh when I left you here exactly like you are now." Polly stated glaring down at the man. "Your gonna work yourself to death."

"Then I'll really be able to rest." Tommy said not once taking his eyes from the paperwork in front of his face.

"You know what? You want to spend the rest of your life in this office be my guest." Polly said throwing her hand up in frustration turning to exit the office.

"Polly." Tommy called out to the woman before as she passes the threshold, the woman turned around looking expectedly to her nephew. "Close the door on the way out."

Scoffing in disbelief Poll grabbed the door knob and slammed the door shut as hard as she could before stomping across the house.

"I assume he's still not coming down?" Ada asked sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper. "I told you its no use, Tommy hasn't taken orders from any since the war, hell not even then." She snorted as she laughed.

Polly hummed in agreement leaning on the kitchen counter looking off into space before a smile slowly makes it way onto her face.

"Oh he'll take orders from someone." She said walking over the the phone. "He just wont know that he is."

"Oh don't bother her with his." Ada groaned knowing exactly who Polly was going to call.

"Well what else do you suppose I do Ada? No one short of god himself will get that man out of the office." She replied to the young girl placing the phone to her ear. "Hello dear, its aunt Pol I need a favor."

***

Knock, Knock, knock

"Come in." The man answers.

The door slowly creeps open before clicking closed again.

"Well excuse me Mr. Shelby but I believe its time for your 12:30 lunch meeting."

Looking up from his work Tommy's eyes landed on Y/N; his sister's best friends since they were kids.

Every once in a while Tommy finds himself looking at her trying to recall the day the moment Y/N became apart of their family, failing every time. The truth being she had always just been there.

Running around, hanging out with Ada, sending him that smile that makes his heart skip a beat.

The dame smile she wore right now.

"Well Ms. Y/L/N I don't recall having a meeting set for today but I would be happy to squeeze you in." Tommy replied setting the paper down to look at the girl.

"Of course you can." She smiles walking up to the desk. "So I was thinking that we go out and have some lunch, about time you get out of this cave of yours." She joked.

"Did Polly send you in here?" Tommy asked removing his glasses and rubbing his eyes.

"No but it was mentioned- and I won't say be who- that you may have skipped out on breakfast so I figured since I did as well," Holding her hand up in defense as Tommy's eyes snapped over to her. "That we might as well go together."

Though it may seem hypocritical Tommy hated it when Y/N skipped meals, ever since one day when she was running around with Finn playing cops and robbers. She had skipped breakfast and didn't have the heart to cut off her and Finn's play time missing lunch to the point that she passed out in the street.

After that day for a while Tommy made it his mission to make sure she ate for all three meal until one day when he showed up to her house to make sure she ate breakfast and wouldn't let him in unless he stop monitoring her meals.

"Well as nice as that would be I wasn't planning on taking lunch until a bit later." Tommy lied. "But you should go ahead since you haven't eaten today.

"I don't think I will." Y/N replied causing him to raise a brow at her response. "I think I'll wait right here with you beside we both missed breakfast we may as well take or miss our next meals together as well." She explained walking over to the stack of books in the corner grabbing the one on top.

"I'm going to be awhile." He countered.

"Then its a good thing I have something to pass the time." She says wiggling the book in her hand. "Besides I don't mind waiting, like you said it only for 'awhile'" She quotes his words knowing they were just a way to get her to have lunch without him and for him not to have lunch at all.

Sitting down in one of the chairs across from Tommy she opens the book and began reading, looking up after awhile she sees Tommy still staring at her.

"Get back to work Mr. Shelby." She smiled. "Then we can go to lunch." Going back to her reading.

It was about half an hour that they set their in silence, Tommy tried ad hard as her could to focus on his work only to continuously be distracted by the rumbling of a stomach.

At first he thought it was Y/N but every time he looked over to her she had showed no signs of hearing the noise nor feeling even slightly uncomfortable, at one point even thinking he was just hearing things.

Setting down his papers Tommy let out a (In Y/N opinion) dramatic sigh.

"Yes?" She looked up with a faux innocence as if she didn't know the reasoning behind his frustration.

Standing up from his desk Tommy walked over to his coat hanging on the rack.

"Shall we head to lunch?" He asked pulling his coat on. "The work will still be here after we're done." He mimicked Polly's word from earlier.

Placing the book onto the desk Y/N hopped up from the chair and walked through the office door after Tommy opened it waiting for her to go through.

Walking out into the common area the two see the Shelby family sitting around the table or standing around the room.

"Going out Tomas?" Polly asked smirking as she sipped her tea."

"Yes Polly in fact I am." Tommy replied eyeing his aunt. "Y/N and I are going to have some lunch, we'll be back in 30 minutes."

"30 minutes that's all the time I get?" Y/N asked walking over to a picnic basket that was set on the table.

"Fine, we'll be back in an hour." Tommy corrected himself opening the door and waiting for Y/N to gather her things.

Grabbing the basket and walking towards the door Y/N turns around in the threshold.

"We'll see you in two and a half hours." She stated with a smile before turning and heading out towards the car.

***

After walking across the large field Y/N began setting down the blanket she had brought.

"A little help Tomas." She huffed after a while of the wind taking the blanket off course whenever she attempted to lay it down.

Chuckling slightly Tommy came over grabbing the other end helping as she got it situated on the ground.

"Do you remember we used to come out here all the time." Y/N reminisced as she began taking the various food items from the basket.

"How could I forget?" Tommy asked taking a seat. "You nearly caught your death after you spent an hour running around in the storm out here, John had to force you home."

"Polly was so mad."

"Yes, but not at you." Tommy pointed out causing Y/N to let out a laugh at how Arthur, John, and Tommy got yelled at through it was her that encouraged Finn and Ada to join her on her wild run around the field of flowers. "She always did spoil you...I suppose we all did."

"I supposed you did." She agreed smiling brightly at the blue eyed man.

Y/N and Tommy spent the next two and a half hours eating and reminiscing over the past, they didn't notice when the color of the sky changed as they when too busy focusing on each others eyes.

They didn't hear the sound of the cricket over their constant laughter.

Even after being pulled back into reality of the time Tommy was surprised when her didn't find himself worried about the day of work that he had missed out on, only regretting not taking lunch earlier so he would have had more time to spend with Y/N.

Pulling up to the Shelby house Tommy meets Y/N on the other side as she exits the vehicle.

"I was gonna open that for you." He said smiling down at the girl."

"Well too bad," She replied. "In life there's always gonna be someone trying to beat you to the punch If your gonna do something do it before somebody else does."

"You know, I think your right."

"Aren't I alwa-" Before she could finish her brag Y/N was pushed against the passenger door of the car as Tommy pressed his lips against hers.

Out of all the things that should be going through her mind at that moment only one word pushed to the front.

"Finally." She whispered as they pulled apart. " I'm sorry, I mean I didn't mean to say that." She hung her head letting out a laugh.

"Be that as it may, I couldn't agree more." Tommy replied after his own laughter had subsided.

Resting his head on hers gazing at her while she had yet to open her eyes.

"Does this mean Y/N is our sister now?" A voice came from behind Tommy, snapping their head in the direction of the door they see that family crowded in the door way eyes now glued to the youngest Shelby. "What? I was just asking." He complained after receiving an elbow to the ribs from Ada.

Pulling away Tommy cleared his throat straightening his hat.

"Well if your all done watching the show," Tommy slightly scolded his family. "I was just about to take Y/N home."

"Oh no you not." Ada objected pushing through the door way grabbing Y/N by the hand. "She spending the night with me, and you are gonna tell me everything that happened but skip the gross parts." She ordered dragging the girl up the stairs to her room.

"Gross parts!" Y/N replied before the sound of Ada's door slamming cut her off.

Giving Tommy a thumbs up and a pat on the back John and Arthur go back to their own respective spaces the former dragging Finn along with him leaving Polly standing with and accomplished look on her face.

"What?" Tommy asked with a smile still plastered to his face.

"Maybe this will teach you a lesson."

"That being?"

"You should always listen to your aunt Polly."

"With all do respect Pol." Tommy said. "I only take orders from one woman." He finished planting a quick peck on her cheek before heading back to his office closing the door once again knowing the next time it opened Y/N would be the one walking through.

because "you're my hero" outro song is deku's feelings about bakugou, while "shout baby" outro song is deku and bakugou's feelings about eachother and their relationship.

While not actually confirmed unlike you're my hero , shout baby's lyrics suspiciously sounds ao much like its about bkdk's relationship lol

(Incoming shitty and messy explanation but i just wanted to point it out haha)

(So like, i just suggest listening to the song and have bkdk in mind wkdkwl and like the song is so fucking good)

●

Nothing seems to stay the same (dk and bkg's relationship?)

Your hair, the way you smell

The way we struggled when we learned to dance so long ago

All of these times, they're stuck deep in my memory

Only to sink into silence, never heard again (like how we dont get to see alot of their childhood moments?)

Since when,

Was I able to tolerate more like this.

Since childhood, people have been telling me I am such a cry baby (literally screams deku)

Keep it a secret (dk relying the OFA secret to bkg?)

What a cruel phrase

My scream is getting scratched out

A typical future, yet so far away (dk becoming a full fledged hero by mastering ofa, or maybe them becoming friends again?)

It won't reach to that person

Where should I go?

I don't know, so I simply cling to it

Admiration that can take away

The worries from everyday It won't disappear (deku admires bakugou and he knows he's strong and capable but he would always worry and look out for him)

I wanted to keep protecting our fragile connection (do i even need to explain cus holy shit this line is what completely sold me)

 If I were to keep it locked away

It would be as if it isn't there

But do you know

that it's not so small that I can forget it?

So when the sun comes up I know what to do

I must put on my strongest face,

Because that's all I could have done

I am a bit confused since I have never been this way (putting both colors cus both verses could be referred to both of them, bc one it can b about dk bc uhhh dk, [see i told yall i suck at this] and the other thing it could b about bkg referring to his guilt about all might? And the fact that the you're next scene happened during a SUNRISE)

You are in my heart completely (???)

I don't know what to do

I didn't want to learn

I wish I had done it differently (bakugou regretting not taking deku's hand)

It's so fragile

I wanted to deny myself (bakugou not wanting to acknowledge his weaknesses)

Like I was doing something wrong

I was disappointed in myself (bakugou realizing his assholery)

But everything is so new to me (the way bakugou perceived the world was turned upside down for him)

I can tell without asking anyone

You wont bring me happiness

But there is something else

that you have given me (his heroic heart and instict?)

●

I wish i could decipher some lyrics and connect it with canon material but unfortunately im not an ultimate bkdk expert so i dont have many receipts so if anyone wants to go ahead PLEASE i would love to read it

(ALSO this is NOT the entire song, i removed some lyrics so i suggest looking up the entire song if you want to see the full gist of its ktdkness)

AGAIN this is pure speculation and interpretation, since i think this song is broad and vague and most likely not related to bkdk in the show (that its a bit of a stretched allegory?). I distanced some lines from the other when it was supposed to be connected and mean something else.

so yeah this is defs bit of overanalysis ykno

Anyways yea the only reason i said this is bkdks song is bc i got ALOT of bkdk vibes from the it, period.

haha doesnt help they showed us this sequence at the end of the song/outro (and it happens in a sunset lol) :

[sonics-left-shoe]

Any sonic (not any characters) angst?!? I haven't seen any angst headcanon of him

Sonic angst? Oh boy y'all are enabling me now, thank you for the ask!

I'll do a top 5 in no particular order, heads up it's quite a read!

1. Boom!Sonic's bandages and excessive sports tape, used for "support", is just the aftermath of Sonic's iconic running abilities and generally growing older. Osteoarthritis is common with long-term runners, it's the irreversible degeneration of the cartilage in the joints of your body and causes joint pains. I like to think that's why Boom!Sonic is considered one of the slower Sonics and doesn't have the same "show-off" fighting style as, say, game Sonic. It's pretty sad to think about..

To quote Robotnik himself, "Don't run, it'll only hurt more if you do, and it's bad for your joints - they've proved it."

2. It's staple knowledge that sonic is afraid of water and cannot swim. However, as someone who unfortunately also has bad thalassophobia and general aquaphobia, I feel Sonic's fear is quite misunderstood. Everyone experiences these fears differently I wont deny that, but for me I believe it's not so much the fear of water itself for Sonic. We all know he's claustrophobic too, I think its the sheer claustrophobia the water brings and how it prevents him from being able to run - which just so happens to be a vital characteristic of his.

It's far more prominent in Sonic X with multiple occasions where his fear is brought up, the incident with Chris' pool and the Chris' family boat for example. With the pool, he struggled to run and get out and relied on Chris to pull him up. Yet when he was actually in the water, he was reasonably relaxed? Annoyed, but far from panicked. Even to the point where he was just sitting at the bottom of the pool in defeat.

With the boat, Sonic goes as far as to launch himself off the boat amid the distress of not being on land. Now, with myself having these fears I would never ever dream of trying to get to land (or yeet myself off a boat to be fair) in any case like this. Just the thought is stressful enough haha.

This brings me to a more specific fear that might suit Sonic better, Cleithrophobia is a specific focus of being being trapped or otherwise unable to move properly in an area - such as water or the boat. People with cleithrophobia are often fully comfortable entering small areas that they are free to leave, this would be why Sonic is comfortable is smaller spaces but not when he feels trapped. Being unable to swim does not help the hog either. He most likely feels misunderstood too, I know I do, and the fact it isn't really taken as seriously by his friends likely brings in a lot of insecurity and doubt too. A brave hero such as the famous Sonic the Hedgehog, afraid of water? Yeah, that's what it seems like. Poor guy.

3. He's the CEO of repressing emotions, he practically invented it (/j).

I won't dive too deep, but if you break down the events of all the games and comics and so on, you'll notice he experiences a lot. Held as a POW? Check. Watched his friends die before him? Check. Been yeeted to another world or even universes against his will? Check. Has his body transformed and taken over by an evil force? Double check. And that's to name a few, as you'll know.

These events are mentioned, sure, but it's rare for his experiences to be fleshed out in canon. Of course, it's unlike his character to let these things bring him down because he prides himself in looking forward and not being hung up on the past. However something Sega needs to learn is that "moving on" from events does not always equal to healing from them. Especially as being a main character, think of how important the representation of some vulnerability from him would be. Sonic is wonderfully intelligent emotionally, he's often the one to provide what people need to hear - as mentioned in my official wiki page post here.

So, he practically cremates his emotions. He probably thinks about traumatic events often and relies on himself to pull out of emotional episodes. The things that happened in satbk and satsr did happen, he gets frustrated when nobody believes him and mourns the people he met but will never be able to see again. He's a person who likes to keep things to himself when it comes to emotional well being, hence how Dark Sonic exists. A manifestation of his anger and repressed feelings when exposed to the negative energy the fake emeralds exerted, far different to Fleetway as Dark's intentions are more guided by Sonic's key morals - i.e protecting his friends and bringing down evil rather than being the evil.

A person can only hold in so much, over time it will be harder for him to repress so much. Things like this lead to depression or anxiety disorders, I believe one day he'll break, let him go apeshit Sega - or at least let him talk about his feelings please.

4. Sonic struggles with having too much energy. He often find himself overwhelmed or overstimulated and ends up running and pushing his abilities to get it all out, essentially burning himself out. He feels like he's too much for the people around him, they struggle to keep up with him when he talks a lot about something or another and cant keep up when he runs. Sometimes he disappears for days according to Tails, but he trusts that Sonic will come back.

Tails has picked up on knowing when this is going to happen, little things like leg bouncing or tapping things or fiddling with Tails' stuff. His most noticeable one is the nose rubbing thing, they're all nervous ticks that he has when he feels overstimulation or his anxiety creeping up on him.

5. Sonic doesn't fear death, but fears losing the people he loves.

His friends and family mean more to him than anything in the world, he sacrifices himself over and over for people without even a second thought. His character shows such a strong love for nature and protecting it, he has some kind of connection to the Earth so I feel he wouldn't fear his inevitable death.

If he was to die, he'd die protecting the world and it's people. A hero realises that love brings a duty of protection, and so, love is for the brave only.

"There's different pitfalls, but I don't envy you for growing up in Azeroth." Arthur keeps it simple. Azeroth had its downfalls and violent deaths were far more rampant. it was a war-torn world. But sometimes, knowing how the world was, he wasn't sure it was always better here. But maybe that was something he could think because he didn't grow up where Sal did. And that wasn't the point of his visit as it was.

Arthur nodded again. The bishop beside the queen moved out of the outer ring. "I'm not here to advocate for him. I understand both sides. He didn't handle things well because of how he felt. Asking him as a ghost not to act on emotion might be a fool's errand when that's what most ghosts are made from, but he was among friends. Being unable to talk without throwing insults is just...it wont' help anything. I don't think you considered everything, but you kept a level enough head that there could've been a conversation that got somewhere, even if it was just getting to the plan we did, but on better terms. It should've gone differently from pretty much the start. There shouldn't have been shouting or insults or jabs or things said to shut down others, emotionally or otherwise. It was.... a mess. And I guess it often is with us. But it didn't have to be. You would've listened. And he should've, too. "

He glanced up at Sal. "I am glad we did what we did. Splatter is.... I'm just glad we didn't risk anyone. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if something happened to one of you, because of me. Not when it wouldn't kill me, but one of you could've died for it. It was the smart thing, not to test our luck with Splatter, regardless how capable any of us are."

He sighed. "But I know that you would've accounted for that if I could've just--- said it. Gotten the freaking words out. Because I know that you aren't reckless. Maybe in the heat of the moment, but you're not..... he was treating you like you're me. But you're not me. You're not impulsive and emotional like I know I can be. I just wish I could've said something. To point that out. To help things go smoother. To explain or keep things from going the way they did." He hated just being there. Helpless. He rapped his fingertips on the prosthetic, making soft metallic clicks with his nails.

She paused for a moment, noting the position of the bishop he had moved. She moved the pawn in front of her own bishop one space before folding her hands back in front of her, "I didn't, and I couldn't possibly. I don't know Splatter as well as you do, but that doesn't mean I can't make a plan accounting for what information I do know. Both of our plans would have ended up relying on luck, but mine simply had a more concreate ground to stand on withholding any information you had on him."

Her ears fell for a moment, giving a soft sigh, "It was the only possible choice without risk of confrontation, but you should know I have personal reasons why I would not want to put you under. You all know what my own condition is like. What the fae did to you was nearly the same thing. Agony until the condition is met... why would I not want to try and end it as soon as possible rather than letting it sit there? That pain is... hard to handle."

Her ears moved back up, her arm reaching across the table to take his hand off his metal one, but also to gain his attention, "Hey. Listen to me. You can't be placed at fault for that. The message got there in the end. You got it Frenzy, and we avoided him. Do not put the blame on yourself when you were doing all that you could."

She sighed again, "The fact of the matter is that if things don't change, this will happen again, and even if you are in top shape, you won't always be there when this happens again. If you're the one in danger, you won't be there to play the middle man. I have taken strides to better understand Frenzy and his emotions, now he must do the same in turn for me, something I feel he does not do when it's my turn. If I speak about myself, more often than not he sees it as a way to correct me, or point out something. That's not understanding me. He must learn that if we are put in this situation again that my methods are not because I feel expendable, nor think he is weak. It has always been that he is simply not the man for the job, or his skills are better used somewhere else in the plan."

"He has every opportunity to prove me wrong about my assessment of what he is and is not good at, but if he will continue to make personal jabs at myself rather than make an effort, then he is best left out of these plans, especially if others are around and agree with me."

Important update and issues

so with tumblr rolling out some new crappy update i am having some issues as it affects how i run my blog. here are a couple of the major issues.

the texting colors. every time i text or post now whether mobile or on computer i have to highlight the words MULTIPLE times. Thats gonna affect ALOT of things. Especially when im typing out characters i don't have emotes for and want to have a comprehensive understanding for who is speaking. ESPECIALLY for CHARA. and whats more annoying is that sometimes the option to color doesn't properly show up. I don't know how long this will last but i hope to god its not permanent.

this one is especially bad. I use a site to help compile my emote faces i got from fmsdraws into undertale text boxes. THE PROBLEM NOW IS that every time i try to hit copy and paste image. its not an image that shows up but a url link. THATS BAD. like REALLY BAD. I don't know what tumblr been smoking since i got back but i can not believe they would turn a copy image into a copy image address. Firs the videos now this. this is NOT good. Because i tested this on both mobile and computer aswell and they BOTH had the same issues.

this is gonna affect majorly on how i do this blog if tumblr doesn't fix this. Now you may all go "why not just download and upload them?" I did it on both and it works. but the issue is that this will affect timing more and cause me to deal with more constraints then i need when working on this blog. Thing is i absolutely hate that im not able to draw. Because if i could i wouldve turned this blog into a comic blog. But i sadly can't draw the way i want and have to rely on help from my gf and people i commission. Which makes me feel bad not cuz i can't do it but because i feel like i am causing these people problems. Which is why i stuck to it all text based. And i am super worried about these changes. I always worry that i may make the texts fuzzy when i upload them on mobile. And with how my computer is now navigating to get the images are harder now with the new updates. I honest to god feel like I'm being pushed back when trying to work on my blog and its depressing. I don't want to stop and i don't want to give up on my story. Hopefully these things will be fixed or i can find a work around. We will hopefully see.

@staff tumblr. for the love of all that is great and holy. PLEASE fix this. I hate how this has happened after i just came back on this site a few months ago. PLEASE FIX THIS

Anyways sorry for the problems guys. Hopefully this won't take longer then it usually should. Will work on next post. But after that i will be on a bit of a break till i can figure things out. I am not stopping i wont stop. I just hope i can get used to this. if not then things will be alot slower then usual. Which i don't want. See you all soon. And stay determined.

[sailorhyunjinz]

Sorry to rant but i used to like this guy so much and he really broke my heart since then I have been guarding it. I did a tarot reading and they said I need to open my heart but it's just to hard I'm scared to get hurt again . What scares me the most is if I find someone I really like I won't be able to let my walls down . I mean I have liked other guys but it was always him and I'm scared of finding someone because if my inability to open my heart. What if due to that I let someone special just pass me by . Anyway I'm scared that I won't be able to open my heart again no matter how much I try and I just don't know what to do. 😭😭😭

honey, the cards dont lieeee~~

sure, it feels like "it was perfect" and whatnot but you will find people that make you feel happier even if its hard to believe right now and like you're saying; if you keep on staying closed up with your feelings someone that truely will love you will just pass you by since you're subtracting your real emotions from who you really are which wont draw people to you.

dont rely on people. sounds horrible to say but love is quite a gullible thing to believe in, in a matter of a day someone that you loved very dearly can just go up and leave. improve yourself, your assets, your skills cause in the end of the day you only have yourself left and THATS WHO YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YEEHAWWW-

nah but it hurts like shit but there will be better people I PROMISE YOU LIKE HONEY TAKE MY WORD, FROM SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN IN THAT SITUATION, SHIT WILL GET BETTER <33

5 Signs a New Employee Won't Make It in Your Company If the new gal acts like this, don't expect her to be there for long. Early on in my HR career, I was taught a valuable lesson. The first 90 days of employment will determine if a new hire will make it in the company long term. According to MIT's Sloan School of Management, studies show the cost of hiring and training people to be anywhere from 1.25 to 1.4 times their annual salaries. Hiring well is very important to the financial stability of a business. As a result, in HR we were coached to look at any new employee for the warning signs of a subpar performer and then to do our best to correct the person fast. Otherwise, we were instructed to let him or her go within the 90 days. In fact, all our employment contracts had a 90-day clause stating that employment could be terminated without explanation within that time period. Why? Nothing drains time, money, and resources from a company more than hiring the wrong person. Here's why ...

Why do most people fail in a new job? It's not for lack of experience.

People often assume when a new hire doesn't work out that the person couldn't do the job, i.e., didn't have the right skill set. But, in my experience, it usually has to do with the person's personality and approach to the job. If you don't fit the culture of the company, it makes it harder for the employees who do fit to work with you. They don't appreciate having to work with someone they don't trust and respect. This leads to teamwork productivity issues that then lead to performance issues. Eventually, the manager has to decide which employee is hurting the connectivity of the team. The weakest link goes. Given that new people are often brought into an existing team who are working well together, you can see why it becomes important to decide quickly if this new employee is capable of meshing with the group. If not, there's no point in forcing everyone to work with her or him. It's smarter to cut the person loose and look for a better fit.

These five attitudes are the warning signs the new hire won't last.

The following behaviors displayed by a new hire are red flags.

1) "I can do it all." When new hires jump in and claim to be the Jack- or Jill-of-all-trades, they send the message they think they are better than the rest of the team. Yes, confidence is important, but a person who claims to be able to do it all comes across like a snake oil salesman. It's better for employees to know their particular expertise and stick to it. Remember, everyone on the team has a specialty. In the first 90 days, new hires should spend time figuring out what each person brings to the team so they can leverage their strengths and offer theirs up to help the team succeed.

2) "You need to work around my needs." New hires that vocalize constraints around what they can do and when they can do it are immediately labeled "high maintenance" by peers. When new hires give a list of requirements before they'll do the job, they create more work for others. New hires should be focused on learning ways their work can make teammates' jobs easier. The more value someone provides to the team, the sooner he or she is viewed as a vital contributor.

3) "I only talk to people who matter." New hires that only seem to get excited when talking to people they think have "influence" in the company aren't team players. They're opportunists. When new hires don't show any interest in getting to know the receptionist or someone in a different department, they don't see the value in respecting the contributions of every team member. New hires should be focused on making friends with everyone they meet in the company, because you just never know whom you'll need to tap in the organization for help. 4) "I'm always looking for the next big thing." New hires who are already talking about getting promoted and taking a bigger role showcase narcissistic tendencies. The all-about-me approach to their career implies they will do anything to achieve their goal and walk over anyone who gets in their way. New hires should be focused on getting proficient at their new job with the intent to exceed expectations. Doing a job consistently well is the best way to earn the trust and respect that can lead to a future promotion.

5) "I can do the job, but don't expect me to overextend myself." New hires who only put in the minimum effort show a lack of commitment to building a mutually beneficial partnership with the employer. All new relationships require some extra effort to help form a good partnership. When new hires don't seem to care about whether the employer is feeling satisfied with their early performance, you can only expect their commitment to the job to decrease. They also can't be relied on in times when extra help is suddenly needed to get the job done. New hires should be focused on not just meeting the expectations of the employer but also finding ways to exceed it. This doesn't mean spending extra time at the office, but rather finding ways to improve their productivity so they have extra time and energy to put toward going above and beyond what is expected.

If you recruit employees, be sure to monitor new hires carefully for the warning signs above, and cut your losses sooner rather than later. And, if you are a new employee, be proactive and get help managing your onboarding experience so you can make sure you do well in the first 90 days. Otherwise, you could be looking for another job sooner than you had planned.
