Little low activity notice!!

[arolesbianism]

I Really need to properly draw Christopher at some point but everytime I want to I just look at her in game sprite and weep for her truest form has already been achieved. What's even the point. This is her in the flesh.

[transgaysex]

its 5 am and i really shouldnt be having thoughts right now but im so anxious about school

[vaguely-concerned]

huh. you know something I just consciously put together for the first time about caterina and lucanis' relationship is that through the game we get to hear them talk about each other a lot, but we get very few chances to hear them speak with each other at any length at all. contrast it with other companions whose storylines have elements of 'believed lost/long time no see relative returns!' like bellara and davrin, where we get to see both of them have several pretty in-depth conversations with cyrian and eldrin. hell I think even rook talks with varric longer in the regret prison scene than we ever get to see lucanis and caterina interact directly.

(and when we do see them interact, it's mostly one-sided -- it is, perhaps unsurprisingly, caterina who is doing most of the talking and giving all the orders, as he ruefully observes is her wont after murder of crows. including jumpscaring him with 'you're first talon now btw' and the shocked pikachu face in five acts he goes through in response lmao. perhaps it's more accurate to say that she talks at him and he reacts, than that they talk to each other much.)

it has such an interesting effect too, because in deliberately denying us direct insight or experience and only having this mosaic of description from each of them to go on, as well as forcing us to pay attention to the negative space of what is carefully not said, it's evocative along the same principle that you never actually show the monster in a horror film. if you've read the wigmaker job you have a clearer image of the more uh. worrying elements at play here going in, but there is something fascinatingly insidious and naturalistic in the way it's 'hushed up' in the game itself. she has his complete loyalty both as a member of her house and, more importantly, that of an abused child to a parent figure. he readily admits several times that she's a difficult person to live with, an even more difficult person to be loved by ("even for me. and I was her favourite")... but never once does he actively blame her nor truly conceptualize that he has every right to do so (that he can be angry with her and still love her, because whether he should or not he unavoidably does), or that she might have acted differently than she did, that she made a choice every time to hurt him. even affectionately he speaks of her as a force of nature, an act of god -- something that can't be reasoned or pleaded with or resisted, something you can only hope to navigate with as little pain as possible and pray to survive. let yourself get carried away by the riptide, resisting it will only make it worse. you don't compromise with a hurricane, you just try to find the best shelter you can and cross your fingers while you wait for it to pass and be calm again.

love is that hurricane. you do whatever she asks. you earn her continued affection day by day by never letting her down. you only want the things she tells you it's okay to want and cut everything else away preemptively. ("A wyvern tooth dagger?? I loved wyverns as a boy --Caterina would never let me have one of these, though." and as we have all wept and gnashed our teeth over, it never even OCCURS to him that he's a like thirty-five year old adult man who can buy himself any dagger he wants at any time. she said he couldn't have one. so he'll never have one. that's just how it works. and maybe if Illario could just accept that and find his peace with it like I have, this whole thing wouldn't be so difficult. oh lucanis.)

such is the price -- and the cost -- of being loved by her, it's a loan on which the interest will never stop piling up. you have to keep paying it down in perfection every day if you want to keep it. who got the worse deal there: the grandson who has abandoned everything else in life to live up to that and mostly succeeded, until the day he's so burned out and broken it threatens to no longer be an option, or the grandson who can never seem to scrape together enough worth in her eyes no matter how he begs, borrows or steals it, how he hustles and plays dirty?

one of the worst things that can happen to anyone is to be loved by a selfish god. another one of the worst things that can ever happen to anyone is to not be loved by a selfish god. (hope that helps, boys!) even in betraying everything else, Illario can't bring himself to hurt his grandmother, because that would defeat the whole point. who would he defiantly be proving himself worthy to, without her. in love, devotion, submission, hatred, frustration, bitterness, everything is defined in relation to her, you can spot the gravitational force of it through how the dellamorte family move through time and space. she -- her love and regard and attention -- is still the sun both of their worlds orbit around, even as adults. the game might never tell you outright 'she used to beat and starve them growing up. for their own good you see, so they'd be strong (and broken down enough for her to build them up again however she wanted but I'm sure that's incidental)', but if you know even a little bit about how these dynamics can work the writing is on the wall everywhere you look and all the more unsettling for it.

follow lucanis' freeze-logic and fraught interpersonal catch 22 irreconcilable mixed emotions problems back far enough, looong before the ossuary entered the picture, and you start to see caterina's ghost around every fucking corner. she is so proud of him. (well, she would be. she made him. she forged exactly the knife she needed and it rests willingly, devotedly, in her hands, it would return to her every time because it doesn't know love as anything but to be a knife. his tama never taught him how to be anything else. his biggest fear with her is that she won't even want him back, the way he is now.) to the best ability of her soul, whatever parts of it survived a lifetime of crow politics and 'five children, eight grandchildren, only Illario and me left now', I think she really does loves him. he certainly loves her, with all the sincerity and artless desperation of a child, of the little boy he was once. and what she's done to him (and to illario, for all his shitty gremlin scar-ass antics lol) is awful. the harm is real, and the love is real, and trying to find a way for these two truths to exist in the same space is driving all three of them their own individualized forms of insane. you know. the way only family can and so often does lol.

through implications and short glimpses and having to put the pieces together yourself, you can have the feeling that there is very genuine mutual love and attachment in this relationship... and that beneath that there is something so profoundly wrong. and the sneaking '...oh shit it gets worse the longer I think about it' horror of that is more effective for me at least than the stark in-your-face presentation of the facts of the matter could have been. the love is here. the love is here. it only ever makes it worse.

Hello there ^-^ I hope you're doing well. I saw your requests are open, so I wanted to request headcanons for Loid Forger x soft female s/o, please, if that inspires you :)♡

(I know Yor is technically "soft" too, but, here the reader doesn't have that kind of strength nor has a personality where she could handle the type of work Yor does or anything like that. Just a very soft gentle reader, please) and thank you 🌸

oh.. loid with a soft! reader would be so cute.. i picture this to be where you're his stand-in wife. he thinks this is all for a mission but he can't help but feel..

he gets so flustered around you. he knows this partnership is just for convenience, but having you around the apartment going about your day? god, does it do something to poor mr. forger.

once you move in, he feels like the house is warmer- more friendly. loid would never admit it to anyone, but he liked it better having you moved in. your room was so cutely decorated and the scented candles you put on every free table somehow reminded him of a home he had tried to block out.

he can't help but have a smile on his face when he comes home after a long day, hanging his coat up as he smells whatever you cooked for dinner that night (with anya's help, of course). he finds it endearing that even if this was all just some awkward circumstance, you do still really play the housewife role well.

you try to plan "family" activities. whether it's just a small trip to the park for anya and bond to run around, or a treat at the bakery (your personal fav), the forger family will almost always be out and about on the weekends.

anya absolutely adores you. she loves how you cook and how you do everything in your ability to make her and her papa happy. she loves when you include her in conversations and play along when loid wont.

loid finds you incredibly endearing. he is not used to being on the receiving side of someone so gentle and affectionate. at first, he thought he might've embarrassed himself with how warm his face got when you had first made him a cup of tea after his shower so that he could settle down after a long day. he's so used to being the protector, the one in control, so when you're so naturally soft and considerate with him- it catches him off guard. he might try to hide it, but the small lift of his lips and pink tint on his face will always give him away.

he sort of short circuits when you compliment him? like i said before, he's too cool and collected. too nonchalant. so, when you call his bed head cute one morning, he kind of just stands there confused. its not like he was trying to woo you or anything there. he wasn't doing anything particularly specific- and you called him cute? he was not, and still not, used to the random compliments. he has gotten better at recovering from, though.

he's a lot more attentive with you. while loid is already a caring person, being around someone so soft and loving would make him even more attentive. he would start paying attention to the smallest details about you — the way you laugh, the way your eyes light up when you talk about something you love, or the way you curl up with your favorite blanket. he’d take note of these things and try to replicate them in sweet ways when he’s around.

he secretly loves attention. you can't prove me wrong. loid is very good at hiding his emotions, but when you do something cute — like cuddling up with him for movie night or showing him how excited you are over a new book — he can’t help but feel a warmth in his heart. he might not always show it, but it makes him feel content in a way he’s not used to. when you ask for his opinion on something small, he secretly enjoys that feeling of being needed, but in a gentle way.

he is such a sucker for you. you bring out the softer side of loid that very few people get to see. despite his stern spy demeanor, he’s incredibly protective of you. if you're feeling sick or down, loid will drop everything to take care of you, even if it means he has to adjust his mission schedule. he might not show it outright, but his actions will speak volumes, whether it's making you tea or tucking you into bed when you're not feeling well.

loid would take his time with you, iykyk. despite his best judgements, he finds himself taking you out on dates and thinking of you as his wife rather than just a roommate- a friend. he finds everything about you so..cute.. sometimes he thinks he wants to squish your face in his palms.. yk, like you would a baby? the cute aggression gets to him and sometimes it catches anya off guard.

What I like about the Dryad Test scene (Astarion romance spoilers)

So I haven't done any other character's romance yet, but I want to talk about the brilliance of Astarion's version of the “romance test” scene in the circus. While I do think it was a missed opportunity to show a little more vulnerable reaction when you first call him forward to do the test (calling him the "one you love"), before he covers it up with his usual mask, I think this is a beautifully subtle scene overall. Which is impressive given how indulgent it is. The whole premise is that you full well know the true answers to the questions, but if you want to make him happy and comfortable, you wont give them. He’s clearly uncomfortable with you bringing up personal information in front of an audience, even if it’s to correctly answer the question. He obviously isn’t taking the test seriously at all, and is doing it more to just have fun and mess around. As much as I adore sincerity, this scene is just so in-character for Astarion I can't be mad at it. You’re showing him how well you know him *by* answering incorrectly, because you know *that’s* what he wants. You're showing that you know him, and you don't need to prove it. While it would have been fun and cute to just have a little moment here that plays right into the dryad's game without any twists, this execution of the scene suits Astarion's current emotional state so much better, and makes it more engaging. The story doesn't just pander to the player, no matter how indulgent Astarion seems as a character. He’s imperfect and struggling a lot, and the player needs genuine patience to see the real him in those rare moments when he lets the mask fall.

He’s been making some very slow changes throughout the game up to this point, and he’s still grappling with that. It’s obvious that even he doesn't really understand or want to face his feelings and how he’s changed, as he’s unwilling to even put a label on his relationship with the player character at this point. He’s all about using his mask as a shield, and so the times we’ve seen behind it have been insanely vulnerable by his standards; private moments meant to stay between the two of you. So of course he wouldn't like it if you just bring up his deepest feelings in a public setting all for some silly carnival activity. He’s also very much the type to say: “like I need a dryad to tell me how I feel”, when prompted with the game in the first place. He probably only agreed because the player wanted to, and he wanted to just have a bit of a laugh. It’s not that he doesn't have genuine feelings for the character, but rather that he has no clue how to handle them. He’s probably holding back a lot at this point in the story, and it probably scares him that he’s getting so attached to someone. Someone that could be taken from him. He probably sees that as a weakness that Cazdor could exploit to hurt him even more, and so his  natural instinct would be to keep everything close to his chest. Orin’s line about Gortash using our connection as a noose by which to hang us probably illustrates his fears perfectly. It’s scary when you have feelings beyond your control, and given that he probably hasn't felt this way about someone in as long as he can remember, if ever, he’s probably even more unnerved. This subtle internal struggle is perfectly illustrated in this scene. At this point in the story overall, he’s confused, on edge, afraid, angry, but also maybe the slightest bit hopeful for the first time in a long time, because of the player. 

The best part is that his instincts about not wanting his personal information shared with a stranger is justified, as Orin shows up to ruin the fun. Apparently in early versions of the game, its at this point that she would kidnap the player’s romanced companion, but apparently play testers hated that (this is just what I've heard). It would be so neat, even though I'd panic and drop everything to hunt her down. That sinking feeling when Orin reveals herself is only magnified if you answer the “true” options during the love test, because now one of our greatest enemies has critical information that could be used to hurt our loved one. 

Anyway I just love how subversive this scene is because of who Astarion is as a person, and how it illustrates the unique bond he has with the player character. His reactions are so cute when you give answers that he likes (like saying what he wants most is revenge, or that most things fear *him*, actually). This is a rare moment when it seems like he's actually having fun. It's just two idiots in love messing around, and that's important.

(This is all just my interpretation. Feel free to disagree)

winter wonders.

some abby anderson thoughts tied to holly jolly!

wc : 2.342

contains : fluff. wlw relationship. some nsfw i mean its me. oral sex r!receiving. mentions of past abby and owen. college hockey abby and skier reader again.

a/n : this scenario has infested my brain i wont move on! and its embarrassing how i started this in febuary but its december again soooo a+ procrastination?

palestine : tlou2 + palestine , how to help <3 enjoy!

abby is such a lover girl and she shows it constantly. i showed it in the full fic but one of the sweetest ways she shows affection is feeding people and taking care of their wellbeing.

text her that you're exhausted after class? she's making a quick meal and giving you cuddles on the couch. if anything is bothering you she is doing whatever she can to make it better.

and as much as abs loveees to take care of you, to the point where you think it's ingrained into her very being, she also loves to be babied and taken care of! the first time you sew her a stocking for christmas when you were snowed in at the dorms she cried for an hour.

i just know she loves it when you're physically affectionate as well. she finds it so charming and silly how when she tries to press a sloppy kiss to your cheek in a cafe you'll jerk back like you've been burned, not wanting to be seen as a sap, but behind closed doors you're alll over her.

pressing gentle kisses to her fingertips when you're both reading before bed. gently massaging her thighs after she went too hard at practice or in the rink. once you two had been invited to a movie night with the crew, and after she volunteered to make the popcorn she came into the living room to see no spots left. she was prepared to take her spot on the floor, but you had gotten one of the three couches to yourself because of your own leg injury on the slopes. before she could even crouch you tugged her over to you, her waist between your legs as you held her from behind. jordan was probably calling her whipped for how she melted into you, eyes fluttering as you brushed your fingers through her hair. she didn't really care. for now.

feel like she tries so hard to maintain good communication in all of her relationships. she's had friendships crack and break because of rumors and miscommunication and she wants to keep everyone she's close to around for a long time. she tells you once she learned it because of family therapy she did when her dad adopted her siblings yara and lev, who you sadly missed during your shared thanksgiving. you think it's adorable how she shows so much love for her family, constantly talking in her family group chat and sharing stories about her day with her little sister and brother.

didn't delve too much into it but being abby's new years eve kiss... she takes it very seriously. if you have to use the bathroom you better hold it because she is gonna bring in this new chapter of her life and she wants you to be there as long and as closely as you can be <3333

and you just know she is so so so good on valentines. yes she does get your flowers delivered while you're out and about during class or at your part-time. probably has a corny little card attached saying 'snow secret ice crazy about you'. almost so cute it makes you want to vomit. in a cute way!

if you want to go all out? say no more. she is booking you an entire day of romantic activities and spoiling you to your heart's content. but all i can imagine is having a nice and intimate dinner in a cozy little restaurant. cuddled up inside the booth as she admires you like you're an angel that's come into her life.

get her some chocolate-covered strawberries and she will swoon. but get both of you custom engraved bracelets with your initials? you aren't leaving the house for a week. have fun.

so not being original here but i def feel like abby is studying medicine. maybe not neuroscience like her dad, her hands aren't the best after so many hits and falls on the ice. but i love the headcanon of her going into the subfields of muscles or sports medicine. maybe even pediatrics because we all know she'd be the best with kids. she wants to pursue hockey full time, but she won't let it get in the way of her academics.

speaking of kids...

abby always says she's known since your first date she was gonna marry you. you would always roll your eyes and tell her to shush with a barely contained smile, but you both know a part of her isn't joking. there aren't words i can think of to say how in love she is with you, someone so similar but so different that she gets excited just at the thought of growing older together with.

she doesn't think there will ever be a dull day when she sees you. she'd take every mood swing, every petty fight, and every bit of insecurity if it meant she could just wake up and see you every morning. but she knows it's early, you're both still young and haven't ever started your careers yet. on your birthday, after taking you to a beautifully planned surprise party, she stands you in front of your mirror and presents you with your gift. its a necklace, simple yet intricate with two interloping hearts. you don't say anything, and she doesn't say anything, but your hearts swell and she hugs you tightly from behind.

once she makes sure you're okay with holiday activities trust she will keep the two of you busy all of december. she runs over her and mannys christmas decorations like a soldier, trust she will be up to date on any new trending decor items that pop up in the nearest hobby lobby or home goods store. she would absolutely love to go to a winter market and buy some gifts for her family and friends, picking up and admiring any little vintage trinket she can find.

and i just now she’s a christmas movie fanatic. dedicates a whole weekend in december for the two of you (or the whole group!) to get some hot chocolate, bundle up under the covers and watch holiday themed movies until you can’t take it anymore.

(feel like she’d be such a traditionalist about it though. it takes a heap of convincing from you and manny to let her put die hard in the movie rotation.)

but abby can be such a chill (haha) person. when you first met her you thought she was a cocky piece of shit, but over time she showed you how understanding and calm she could be. she doesn't like getting angry at people during the day, preferring to let out her anger during hockey games. but trust if someone is being a dick to one of her friends or you, she will put them in their place.

after

she is really good at ice skating. which sounds silly because duh, she plays hockey. but one day you watch a youtube video about figure skaters switching places with hockey players and you ask her to see if she could do some of the moves. she's a big girl but also insanely quick, and when she does a lutz on the first try you're more than shocked.

but also not! because abby is nothing but persistent. which is why when she asked you to teach her how to ski you thought any higher power up there was laughing at and testing you. at that point it had been months since you restarted your training with your father. it was hard, balancing your life with working out and spending hours every week practicing on the local fake slopes, but it was thrilling to be doing it because you wanted to do it. and thankfully your injury was basically gone.

(although sometimes you would fake like it was paining you so abby would set you on the bed and massage and take care of you. but who wouldn't do that?)

but when abby asked you to teach her you were nervous. not because you doubt your ability, hell no, just the opposite. nora had come along to one of your sessions, and when a young fan came up to you to ask for tips, all a tired and overworked you could say was "just be good at it." ever since she had teased you, throwing the worst joke you'd ever heard and saying you were going to turn into your dad. you didn’t talk to her for four days after that.

but you decide to give your girlfriend a chance. you warn her ahead of time that because of your dads teaching style growing up, you wouldn’t be too perceptive, and her size might make her momentum gain too quickly. but again, your girl was nothing if not persistent, listening to your words and placing a kiss on your cheek with an “i got this.”

she did not. she did at first, easing down the short slope with the caution of a giant baby deer, and doing a victory pump the first time she made it down the bunny slope while nearly tripping. things were good!

until jordan, sweet, stupid jordan made some bet that abby couldn’t ski down the intermediate slope for a video to send to her teammates. and like a moth to a flame, she got up the slope as fast as she could and tried her very best, before falling on her face halfway through. she wasn’t too badly hurt, laughing at the way you fussed over the small cut on her cheek.

this wasn’t the first time you witnessed some of abby's athletic determination. you wouldn't lie and say it hadn't afflicted you sometimes, able to recall the multiple times you and your girlfriend had made bets about who could do the most reps in the gym or run up the stairs quicker. it was all sunshine and rainbows until one misplaced pencil on some stairs led to you tripping into her and the both of you landing in a heap of limbs at the bottom of the stairs. you are more than glad that no one else was in the hall at that time.

not to say her over-achieving nature was all bad. there were definitely quite a few times that her aggressive behavior on the ice when her teammates showed premature defeat for an opposing team made you a little hot and bothered in your seat, eyes tracked on her body as she pushed past opponents like a bullet train.

and it is more than helpful in bed. one weekend you’d returned to your own apartment in a shitty mood from classes and skiing problems, ready to just eat some junk and rest in bed for two days straight. but of course, as soon as you texted your plans to your girlfriend she was over at your place in not even fifteen minutes. she had plenty of snacks and your favorite sweatshirt of hers to wear. but she could tell after a while into watching a movie you were still in a pissy mood, so she decided to help you relax in another way.

unfortunately, your sour mood was too strong as you’d yet to reach your peak after twenty minutes with abby in between your legs. it really was a shame, she looked so pretty when she was concentrated down there. you gently push at her forehead and lament that it’s no use, you're somehow too aggravated to have an orgasm.

your palm gently pushes at her forehead until she’s hovering over your cunt, a slight tingle running up your body when you see her blissed-out face and slick-covered mouth.

“abs, it’s just not gonna happen tonight. I'm way too stressed out.”

her eyes scan your face before her brows do that thing - the furrow she does when she gets an idea in her head that she just has to see through.

“just let me try for a little while longer, okay baby?”

and god, you couldn't say no to her when she looked like that and you were so pent up. you give her a small nod and watch as she rushes off the bed to the bottom of your bedstand to grab an old vibrator deep in one of the drawers.

“how’d you know where i hid that?” your voice is breathless as you watch her resettle back between your legs, turning on the vibe with a small smile on her face.

“because i know you. besides, need to know where to get things in case of emergency.”

you were going to laugh but then she’s immediately attaching the vibrator to your clit at the highest setting, a strong hand holding down your hips that buck up into the sensation and gripping your waist when you try to run from it.

let's just say when the night ends you are officially destressed.

uhhh back to. winter!

really think she’s in her element during this season. she’s in the huddle of her hockey season, gets to wear all of her favorite sweatshirts and hoodies and take long walks through the city as the snow ghosts over her face.

and just like i said earlier once she realizes you’re okay with the festive stuff? get ready for winter-themed dates.

one of your new favorite memories with her is definitely sitting on a plush blanket on the floor near her balcony door, the gentle downpour of snow a backdrop to your mini picnic date as you make s’mores and treats with an electric tabletop and share stories and kisses with wine-stained lips <3

abrupt ending but im trying to finish off things just lying in my drafts lolll uhh happy holidays yippee!

The Player wandering off like this makes the first art for this au (where Doey is just Holding them, one handed, up off the ground) extra funny to me.

Like "you disappeared as soon as I took my eyes off you, I'm not letting you out of my sight Ever Again."

Also lucky for the toys the Player is so scatterbrained, if they're stopping everyone few hops to look at something, the others have time to catch up before they hop hop hop into harms way.

That was kind of the point of the first artwork :D. Even before doey grew attached to player he saw them do very stupid things. While trying to bring them to safe haven, They were actively trying to pet Yarnaby without being caught. Were carrying around a lemon with a face. They also climbed the wall to get a ball back for one of the mini kissy's and face planted head first into the floor when they celebrated mid rescue of the ball. (dont worry the ball was okay)

But yea, they tend to disappear and do stupid things if left alone for one second. So after everything is calmer. Doey is not letting them out of his sights again. In all honesty he wonders how this single idiot managed to not only survive this long, but survive without being experimented on when they first worked at playco.

Despite being scatter brained and on the verge of passing out, player is fast even on one leg. So while they are slower than before they still are a bit ahead of the toys. But they are very close to face planting everytime they hop so maybe the toys can catch up sooner.

Here is players full design from when they snuck in to playco. Before they went a bit feral. Still reckless and stupid but still at a normal degree.

Player throughout time at playco with the toys: YOGA CLASS DONT FAIL ME NOW!

the toys: are they trained from ninjas?? how the heck are they still alive???

Proud Mary on the Peaker Playlist. Sam's so proud of Cait and is showing his love. Not a coincidence, suck it up buttercup.

Dear Buttercup!

My goodness the desperation in the shire can never get anymore evident than when you have to seek for receipts at a playlist that is created by Peakers. 😂 Can't actually can't stop laughing about this, I swear he has not the slightest thing to dowith all of this.

Coincidence? Bwahahha then we must be all married to Caitriona and sending secret receipts into the world. I remember how I always requested 2 of the best popsongs at a party that are at any time successful to get the crowd on the floor and keep you singing along at the top of your longs! Can you guess the ones?

Sure, Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboardlight and Proud Mary, though I prefer the version of Ike and Tina Turner. Nobody else can say these lyrics like Tina could:

You see we never ever do nothing Nice and easy We always do it nice and rough

But whatever makes you happy dear buttercup..... just make sure to not fall off the map of the world dear buttercup. Saying the world is round is most likely a conspiracy as well!

If I may ask a question in return, I wanna know why you're all so cheerful if you don't see her husband, Tony at her side? Not that we're desperate for it, the desperation is more on your side of the fence, looking to see if he's there. While all the same time, we see Sam months from home and not a glimpse of Cait nor any boos in sight? How is that possible? Oh we don't see her but she is there? Is that what you're claiming? Hmm... seems a bit hypocrite to me to not use the same standards for Tony or the boos for that matter! Don't you think so dear buttercup?

Let me even ask you another question. How is it that he's still active on Raya, updating his profile to show where he is?

Oh get it, you wont believe that! Sure.... well let me show you his profile, I received this one end of January, remember where he was? Just take a look at his profile.

As you know it's impossible to take a a screenshot from a Raya profile, so the only way is to take a pic from a phone. And that is exactly what you see here. I know it is 100% real, as I know where and from who it comes. But hey dream on, deny all the reality and the real proof out there. I can't help you dear buttercup. You suck it up and stop making these sad and desperate attempts to proof anything. It does make you look quite dumb and stupid, isn't that what you don't want?

Have a nice day

[toraoistired]

let's talk about project 2025 and smut.

bc I've seen some of my favorite authors already state they aren't writing any more smut due to the mere threat of project 2025 going into effect. And hey, I'm a simple person who likes to read abt sexy times.

pls read through all the way and share if ya like any of what i wrote here - i don't want panic to be spreading through the writers of tumblr/ao3 like wildfire unchecked.

qualifications: BA in political science focusing on domestic policy, activism and ethnic studies.

Part I - what is it?

project 2025 at its core is a roadmap. it was created by the Heritage Foundation (an extremely far right disgusting think tank), and plenty of people associated with the previous and incoming Trump presidency. its like 900 pages of alt-right, christian nationalist bullshit.

but its not uncommon.

think tanks like the Heritage Foundation often create roadmaps like this to plot out what they would most want to see in a future presidency or period of political control. it isn't even particular to right-wing think tanks; left wing ones do it too! the difference in this case is the magnitude and attention paid to the manifesto.

the heritage foundation is a vast organization with a lot of money, and has had a part in US politics for a long ass time now. because of this, what they say/do carries a bit more weight. combined with the fact that dems in the past election used project 2025 as a common refrain (instead of like, developing their own policy but whatevs), you get a general public who is aware of the buzzword "project 2025" but not knowledgeable about what it contains.

what it does actually include is certainly worrying, but among the new freaky shit is a ton of stuff that has been on the republican party's to do list since day one, like dismantling the department of education. just reading that seems really shocking, i know, but if you look back to when the department was created, you will find evidence of republicans trying desperately to dismantle it.

i find the media flurry around project 2025 to be a bit concerning, because while i understand dems wanting to show voters how dangerous this shit can be, its also made it into something far more important than it could actually be. as i stated earlier, these types of policy blueprints are extremely common among think tanks. its like their entire job!! and yes, this one is scarier and more visible than others, but it

a.) isn't the official policy of the incoming admin (and if you look at their actual policy statement, its very clear they don't rly have policies, so who knows what that's gonna look like)

b.) isn't united states federal law

Part II - what's it gonna look like?

i'm not gonna sit here and say you shouldn't be worried about project 2025, bc a lot of whats in it is freaky asf. but that freakiness is what (in my opinion) will be its primary challenge. since its so out there, the extreme right wing republicans are going to have to work their asses off to get the votes they need to pass these things.

which brings me to another point-- project 2025 is a whole list of proposals. its not like republicans can put forth one bill that has the entirety of project 2025 in it and pass it all at once. for a whole laundry list of reasons, that's not possible. the process of getting one bill passed through the house and senate is an excruciatingly long one, and doing this process for 900 pages worth of plans ain't gonna be easy.

i should mention that donald trump has yet to endorse the plan as his own, so there's the real possibility that he wont even want to implement any of the ideas included. i could 100% see him ignoring the entire plan because he doesn't like that someone else came up with it tbh. and while i don't believe he has never heard of the heritage foundation, as he has claimed in the past, i think it is important to note that there hasn't been any confirmation from him that project 2025 is his roadmap.

the plan includes rollbacks of rights for every minority group possible, restrictions on immigration, access to morning-after pills, restructuring of the federal government to allow for easier hiring and firing based on little/no evidence, etc. all in all, not great.

but again, project 2025 isn't united states federal law

Part III - what does it mean for fanfic authors?

the section that has the fanfic-consuming/creating world in a tizzy is the bit about outlawing pornography. this is a concerning policy propsal, but not because of possible fanfic bans. rather, bc project 2025 and the heritage foundation at large sees queerness as inherently and exclusively sexual.

"pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children" (The Heritage Foundation, p.5)

thus, if they ban pornography (with a definition that includes/focuses on queerness), they can effectively ban expressions of queerness in the united states.

that shit is scary. and while i never want to rely on foundational documents when the people interpreting those documents (court justices (esp those appointed by the previous and incoming trump admin)), i will hesitantly say that this is gonna be a tough sell. both from a constitutional standpoint, and from a broad base support standpoint.

for the first of the two points, arguing that the first amendment doesn't "apply" to something is always a slippery slope, and defending that point is extraordinarily difficult. obviously this isnt always the case, but especially relating to pornography and obscenity, proving that a work fails the Miller test (a three part test created in Miller v. California (1973) to determine if something is obscene or not) is, like, really hard (heh).*

while the miller test is precedent for specific cases that come up in the court system, if some version of the porn ban goes into effect, the US court system is going to be dealing with challenges from every state, every form of media, every fandom.

which brings me to the second point. broad base support.

while the headline about Grindr crashing in Milwaukee during the RNC wasn't true in 2024, republican events in previous have brought an influx in users to the area in which the events are held if ya know what i'm sayin👀

on a real note though, getting a pornography ban passed in the united states would be exceedingly hard (no pun intended). especially one that includes forms of media like written pornography, not just visual. in terms of feasibility, a ban on video pornography is incrementally more likely than one on all forms of pornography. arguments against porn are weak at best, and the anti-porn movement in the US (usually religious) has been trying, and failing, for decades to ban pornography. most content about porn bans also refers primarily to video-based porn, not written smut.

let's just say worst case scenario something like this does go into action. anything you've written before the law goes into action cannot be used as a way to prosecute you. that would be an example of ex post facto punishment, which is explicitly prohibited in the constitution and by court precedent.

*note: i'm not endorsing the way the US court precedents around porn/obscenity look, as they are another symptom of purity culture and anti-sex culture created in the US

Part IV - what do we do?

well, giving up before a bill has even been proposed ain't it. it makes me deeply sad to see so many writers saying they wont be writing smut anymore because of the vague possibility of this plan. not only does it make me sad, it makes me angry. because that means people have seen so much misinformation about what project 2025 is and how it works that they are too scared to do anything about it. let me repeat again.

project 2025 is not law in the united states of america, nor is it in the process of becoming so. act accordingly.

so go forth, write smut, be gay, do some shit to make the heritage foundation angry today. and don't give up before the battle has even started. bc that's how they win. and i know shit seems really scary, but community and mutual aid is how we are gonna make it through this, so do your due diligence and research what you're scared about! knowledge is power and you gotta wield that sh*t.

i'd like to end with a quote from Timothy Snyder, who everyone and their mother has been quoting recently, but i still think it has value.

"Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. Anticipatory obedience is a political tragedy." (Excerpted from On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder, 2017)

[Note - i have cited sources where appropriate, but this is also based on my (important to note, informed) opinion. please treat it as such, thank you]

Penpals - Joshua Hong

pairing: Joshua Hong x Reader

synopsis: When shy 10-year-old Nie is randomly assigned a penpal for a school project, she never expects it to change her life. Her first letter is awkward, filled with misspellings and nervous honesty—but it finds its way to Shuji, a warm and musically gifted boy living across the country in Seoul. What begins as a simple childhood exchange grows into a years-long thread of friendship, and dreams written between ink and paper.

wc: ~2.1k words

genre: fluff, penpals

warning: changes in timeline; joshua moved to seoul when he was 5, reveals who he is on his debut, insults at the end (teasingly), shua is a shameless romantic, jihoon mentioned

a/n: my contribution to seventeens birthday!! had this idea for a while then wrote it on a whim, but i think it turned out nicely! Thank you so much @sluttyminghao, @mylovesstuffs and @swampyfrogqs for beta reading for me! (and giggling in the doc)

02/04/2005

Dear penpal,

Im not too sure what i am supposed to put in this letter

My teacher said this was requit required and a fun activity to make friends across the contry country. Sorry about my spelling, im still learning

Not too sure if you will reply, apparently its some random assigning thingy, but i hope we can become freinds.

From, 

ur future freind

Dear future friend,

I recieved received your letter! Dont worry about your spelling, mine is bad too, im still learning as well. 

Now that we are permanent buddies for life, i want to get to know you! I’ll go first

I wont tell you my name tho, that ruins the fun. 

You can call me shuji! Im 10 years old, my birthday is 30 december 1995, and i like playing with my friends and playing gatar guitar and singing.

What about you?

From, 

shuji

19/05/2005

Dear shuji,

You sound so cool

You can call me nie! Im turning 10 soon, my birthday is 26 may 1996, i like drawing and making braclets bracelets with my mumma! Your only a few months older than me, but i hope we can be the bestest of the best friends!

From,

Nie!!

04/06/2005

Dear Nie!!

I only just recieved your letter, im sorry i missed your birthday. But happy late birthday!! Better late then never!!

I also hope we become good friends! I also wanted to ask where in korea you live in, im living in seul seoul, i use to live in LA in America before i moved here!! But here is so cool and i love it here.

From, 

shuji

—

23/06/2005

Dear shuji,

Woah, thats so cool that you lived in America before moving to Seoul. I live in Busan! Im like the opposite of the country to you! thats so cool, i think thats why our letters take so long to get to each other

But i think thats the best part of this, that we are so far apart, even if it takes a long time

I do have some questions though, When did you move from LA to Seoul? What was LA like? Why did you move to Seoul from LA?

From,

Nie :)

—

17/07/2005

Dear nie,

I moved here when i was 5, i dont remember much but i know that it was really cool. It had so many tall buildings and was busy, just like seoul!! Im not too sure why, my mum said it was so I could take dance or singing lessons when im older because she believed i was good, but im not too sure about that but she really likes it here!! 

I think this is a start to an amazing friendship nie :)

From,

shuji.

05/08/2010

SHUJII!!!

You wont believe this! Im top of my class!! All my hard work has been rewarded!! 

But i did embarrass myself when i found out… i think i started tearing up or something but i dont really remember because i like blacked out of happiness. My friend said my jaw literally hit the floor tho, so i think that explains how shocked i was. 

So thats what's happened since your last letter, whats new with you? 

Any new crushes? You literally have to tell me when you do. Oh theres this cute boy i met tho, i think his name was jihoon, hes a lil short, shy, but kinda nice. Hes always on his computer doing something or in the music block.

From your most favourite person ever, 

Nie!!

28/08/2010

NIE!!

Thats so good to hear!! I told you that hard work pays off in the end, pulling all nighters all the time is NOT healthy im telling you.

I’ve picked up a side job to teach people how to play guitar! I go over to their apartment and teach them how to play chords to songs they want. The pay is pretty good, around 25,000 won an hour, they just need to tell me the songs beforehand so I can prepare and stuff. I’ve also started to take singing lessons like my mum wanted when i was younger, my teacher says I’m doing pretty good and that my voice sounds really smooth

I also can’t believe its been 5 years since we’ve started being pen pals, all my friends stopped talking to their penpals ages ago.

Also about that jihoon guy, he seems nice! Obviously maybe a little shy, but if you keep nagging him he might warm up to you, or kill you, a 50-50 chance for both. Sadly there's no one interesting to me at the moment, but if there is one,  you’ll be the first to know i promise.

You gotta promise me that you won’t do too many all nighters!

Yours, 

shuji

13/09/2010

SHUJII!!

I think you’re asking for too much there… its literally how i got my good grades. 

ALSO: thats so cool your getting paid to teach ppl how to play songs on a guitar, man i cant even strum a chord, let alone a whole song….

Update on jihoon; we are friends now! I think… he lets me hang around him when im bored, answers my questions about what hes doing, btw he makes songs on his computer??? Like thats so cool??? I swear hes going places. apparently hes also a trainee at PLEDIS or something, hes rlly cool.

I also think its crazy that we’ve been penpalling for so long, my friends think im crazy for checking the mailbox everyday to check if your letter comes through, but they wouldn’t understand what we have

Yours truly,

Nie

—

10/01/2013

NIE!!

I have amazing news!! I started training at PLEDIS to become an idol! Its really cool being around people so talented at dancing and others being able to sing really high notes, but i’m so happy to be here. It was really weird how i was scouted but thats okay.

They literally just walked up to me after i performed at a bar, handed me a business card, told me to try out to become an idol.

Also, I think i met your jihoon guy, he said hes from busan and makes music, hes also rlly good at the guitar, i think hes better than me.. Im not too sure how to ask him if he knows you, mostly bc i dont know your actual name, but bc hes a lil scary, hes been here for like 3 years, which i think you’ve mentioned before.

Thanks for believing in me nie!! 

Yours,

shuji

—

31/01/2013

SHUJI!!

THATS SO COOL!!! Thats prob the jihoon, we’re still in contact after he moved for training though!! I believe that you guys will debut together!!! I can brag i know 2 whole idols before they debuted, such a brag in my books. You better become the most famous idol ever so I can say I knew you when your voice cracked mid high note.

Make sure you eat and sleep properly!! Dont want you burning out before you debut!! You got this!!!

Yours, 

Nie

—

07/05/2015

NIEE!!

I got the snacks you recommended me last letter, i must say, it was really sweet, but it was nice. I think the members liked it more than me to be honest.

I also saw a cute stray a few days ago, reminded me of you somehow.

We’re set to debut soon!! And guess what? On your birthday! Such a coincidence!! I think i was the happiest when they announced it, cheol was really excited too, but i think because hes been a trainee the longest. You know, being placed in 2 different groups only to disband or get pulled out before debut would make him a little paranoid or anxious. I dont blame him though.

Maybe you can guess who i am in your next letter. I hope this arrives in time!!

Happy birthday in advance!!

Yours truly,

shuji

26/05/2015

joshua hong you sneaky jerk

I can’t believe you. Revealing yourself through your debut, i literally saw you mouth happy birthday, ON LIVE?? (thanks tho!!)

Im so proud of you oh my god you dont understand. Only 2 years of training and you’re on stage performing in front of people. Im flabbergasted and feeling a little cheated!! Like, why is your voice is so nice? I could literally fall asleep to your singing.

Also please tell jihoon im so happy for him!!

xxxx-xxx-xxx - call me Y/N :)

Yours truly,

Y/N

Joshua looks down to the floor as he shyly hands you a decorated letter, before scurrying away.

“Shua I swear to god, you do this every year. Just say it in person like a normal human being.” 

“But you love it every time,” you hear him call out from probably the bedroom. “Just open it!” 

—

Dear Nie!!!

Happy birthday from your ult bias and husband :)

I’m so glad that you were here for me since even since my debut to my 10th year anniversary with the members. Cheering me on and reminding me to eat and sleep properly, taking care of me and the other members when we’re sick, surprise visits in practice rooms and schedules, and many more. I don’t know where I would be if you weren’t in my life, maybe I’d be stuck in a boring office job, but that doesn’t matter, because you’re here.

Being penpals truly started a beautiful relationship between us, and I wouldn’t change anything even if I had the chance.

Thank you for sticking by me every step of the way.

Yours truly, 

Shuji

—

You carefully fold the letter and place it back in its decorated envelope, heart full and cheeks aching from how long you've been smiling. You walk toward the bedroom, where Joshua is pretending to be deeply invested in whatever’s playing on the TV, though his eyes keep glancing toward you.

“Come on,” you say, holding the letter to your chest. “You can't keep hiding behind cute stationery every time you're being sappy.”

He finally turns his full attention to you, sheepish grin spreading across his face. “But you like the cute stationery. You said so last year.”

You roll your eyes playfully and sit beside him on the edge of the bed. “I do. But I like you more. In person. Saying things like that... with your actual voice.”

He raises a brow. “So, you're saying you want the full romantic experience?” He leans closer, voice softening. “You want me to serenade you? Candlelight? Rose petals?”

You snort. “I want you to say, ‘Happy Birthday, Nie,’ like a normal human being.”

He laughs, then takes your hand, twining his fingers with yours. “Happy Birthday, Nie.” His voice is gentle, sincere. “And thank you. For being my penpal. My best friend. My everything.”

You squeeze his hand. “You’re lucky I wrote back to that messy little letter 20 years ago.”

He tilts his head, grinning. “I still have it, you know.”

Your eyes widen. “You don’t.”

He’s already getting up, headed to the closet. “Wanna bet?”

—

Joshua returns from the closet holding a slightly battered shoebox, its edges frayed and the top lid covered in stickers that clearly hadn't aged well. He sets it down on the bed between you and lifts the lid.

Inside: folded letters, drawings on notebook paper, even a few friendship bracelets—faded but intact.

“Wait,” you say, picking one up, “you really kept them all?”

Joshua shrugs, bashful. “Every single one. Even the one where you misspelled ‘bracelets’.”

You gasp and nudge him with your shoulder. “Low blow, Hong.”

He grins and plucks out a pink envelope with crooked handwriting. “Look at this one,” he says, unfolding it. “This is the first one you sent after I told you I was training. You said—and I quote—‘You better become the most famous idol ever so I can say I knew you when your voice cracked mid high note.’”

You burst out laughing. “That was a real fear of mine. You were going through puberty and singing falsetto like you were born for musicals.”

He winces. “The voice cracks were real.”

You both collapse into laughter, tears pricking your eyes—not just from the hilarity, but from the sheer weight of how far you'd come.

Then, quieter now, he pulls out a letter in thinner paper—creased and faded, with your childhood handwriting.

“You called me your ‘freind’ in this one,” he murmurs with a smile. “And still said we’d be best friends forever.”

You run your fingers along the paper, remembering how unsure you'd felt writing that very first letter. “We really were just kids.”

He nudges your leg with his. “Kids who kept a promise.”

You glance at him, your heart full. “Do you think ten-year-old us would've believed we’d end up here?”

He thinks for a second, then leans closer, forehead resting gently against yours.

“Ten-year-old me would’ve just been happy you wrote back.”

[the-sussy-imposter2]

ii am crashing out so hard please tell me about your gunky goopy guy (slime) doesn't really matter what au he could fit in so many people..........

You are so right. He is extremely edible, and thats exactly why i have two aus specifically about that happening (im using this post as an excuse to rant about my slimecicle nom aus, buckle up and strap in)

Im specifically gonna talk about an au that i havent talked about here yet, because we already kinda know about vore-ogins smp. This one, is called AWOOTS.

Yes. The name is dumb. But it specifically stands for "A Way Out of This Slimy Situation" which is the title of the fic and i find it kinda sums it up pretty well. Basically, charlie, a human peasent in a hidden medieval mountian kingdom, gets trapped away from home and forced to survive in a world where everything is out to eat him. Including the thing that saves his life.

A pack of 20 foot tall shadow wolf creatures rampage his town and take him and a few others back out into the wilderness as a later snack. Charlie manages to escape their den, but cant outrun them once they realise hes gone. In comes 70ft tall Slime to the rescue (yes theres two slimes in this au, idk why i do this with every fic but i like the dynamic they have :] also hes based off c!slime if that gives an idea of his character) and charlie is fucking terrified, for valid reasons. Slime, being the nature gaurdian he is, beats the crap out of the shadows and then goes to check on charlie (who is actively bleeding out) and of course notices his injuries. Charlie is scared, tired, and woozy from blood loss, and the last thing he sees before passing out is the back of slimes throat as he gets swallowed whole.

Next thing he knows, he wakes up on a bed of moss feeling better than he has for the last ten years of his life.

TLDR: charlie gets trapped outside his walled in kingdom and finds a giant slime who saves his life. Slime has healing abilitys, but because of the magic that's used, healing is super painful, so he uses the numbing acid in his stomach to provide anesthesia before properly healing charlie. Charlie consequently decides to stay with slime because going off on his own is a death sentence and slime literally wont let him leave on his own even if he wanted to. (He is a giant puppy who gets incredibly attached to him.) And all while this is happening, Schlatt and Ted back in the mountian kingdom believe charlie's dead, and are actively grieving him to varying amounts of success (schlatt is guilt stricken because he thinks he couldve saved charlie but no matter what he did, it wouldve ended the same way)

Anyways yeah, thats AWOOTS. By the time charlie gets back home, hes gotten accustomed to slimes show of affection (eating him and going to sleep) and so when he tries to explain to Schlatt and Ted that "yes, the giant slime monster that ate me is actually my friend" you can imagine how well they took it.

Anyways HERES SOME ART!! Slight blood warning for #5 !!!

I think the best thing about this au is that before i realised there was a nonesexual vore community, i managed to get a whole slimecicle fan server (it was mostly just the people in the art channel) invested in this story, and nobody seemed to clock that it was about vore. Like actually, there is fanart of these guys (WHICH BTW IS SO GOOD OMG) and no one even batted an eye when i explained how and why Slime ate charlie

Oh i also posted about AWOOTS on my main tumblr blog before i found nsx vore, which is why i havnt talked about it yet in case someone sees the two posts and connects the dots, but like, people took it really well, so that was nice :]

Anyways yeah. Really long post, but this au has a special place in my heart, and to summarize it in a paragraph or two wouldnt properly explain it (i literally had three hour long rant sessions explaining the events of this fic, i could- and HAVE talked for hours about it) i hope this was satisfactory for you pop 🙏
