#i'm actually pretty lazy about it--to my shame

[eddis-not-eeddis]

In my early twenties I know more theology than most men in the churches I've attended who are twice my age. This isn't a boast, I am no scholar. I say this in abject horror and despair.

I HATE THE NEW HERO

PT 1 - What teacher assigns a group project for a poster?!

Pt 1 (You're here) - Pt 2 - Pt 3 - Pt 4 - Pt 5 - Pt 6 - Pt 7 - Pt 8 - Pt 9 - Pt 10

Classes were always boring for you, don't get you wrong - you love the subjects, you just hate how it's being taught.

To sum it up, here is your lessons for today, Wednesday.

Literature, Methods Math, Biology, Ancient History, Engineering and finally Chemistry.

It's a lot and frankly you're regretting choosing half of those subjects. Even more so because of a certain billionaire playboy's ward. Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne.

You're pretty sure he's a massive fanboy of Aranea, the new spider-themed hero of Gotham who you detest with your very being.

The costume is ugly, they're too optimistic - it's Gotham, who on Earth is happy in Gotham? Most of all however, they're a two-faced bitch. You should know, after all you are them.

It's not that you hate yourself and your nightlife, just that you need to look unconnected to them at all costs. There can't be any correlation between you and your persona. You use a voice modulator while on patrol and missions, you wear a wig while in your costume and any defining features are covered by either the costume or makeup.

So, whenever Aranea is brought up you take the chance to make fun of it. The comments aren't anything horrible, mean sure.

"Ew, they're more of a roach than a spider.."

"They're actually ugly enough to be the next Joker"

"I hope they humiliate themself and everyone sees how gross they really are."

But not horrible.

Despite this Timothy seems to have thought you were the devil himself in the form of a teenager. Glares were thrown at you, false reports were made to the principal's office, public shaming on Chitter and more.

You won't lie and say it gets to you sometimes but at the same time he's being a manchild. You can't expect everyone to like who you like.

You're snapped out of your thoughts by a paper being slammed onto the desk. Your head snaps up and you glare at the person.

Timothy may as well be the devil with the way he's staring at you now, a sneer paints his pale features. His nose held high enough that you swore he was about to snort on you.

You grit your teeth and look down at the paper he slammed on your desk. You're actually going to scream and cry right now.

Scratch that, you're actually going to jump out of the window and hope to perish.

You hate Chemistry. You hate this school. You hate Gotham. You hate Timothy Jackson Drake.

You pray he'll think you're incompetent and not bother with actually working together for this group project.

A group project on Titration! Who even does a group project outside of school for that?

You look around, hoping there will be others in the group but because your luck is so thin it might snap everyone else already were in groups of 3s. Meaning Timothy and you would just be a duo.

Instead of doing what you wished you instead sighed and grabbed your pencil, probing at Timothy's hand until it stopped holding the paper against the desk.

"A poster on bases and acids in titration? Why does this need to be a two-person job?!" You huff out. Timothy's features turn more hate filled, kinda petty to hate someone for different tastes Timothy...

"Because lazy people like you won't do the work otherwise!"

"I'm not lazy! Fine, fuck you! I'll do it myself!"

"No way! I need the marks - plus you'll do it wrong!"

you take a deep breath, trying desperately to not snap your pencil in half.

"... Fine. We'll do it at my place then once school lets out. No way am I going to your place where I'm sure you'll set your family on me." You respond calmly, still glaring up at him.

After a moment Timothy nods.

Your shoulders slump in relief.

"I'll meet you at the front gate then."

"Fine. But if you're late I'm doing the project on my own." With that Timothy walks away. You feel a migraine coming on - seriously, what is wrong with him? There wasn't even a proper time set!

Some people think that Damian kid is the rudest - those people clearly haven't been on the bad, petty side of Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne.

[amnestria-the-elf]

So we're all just supposed to be fucking grateful that Larian gave us "new Wyll content" (evil ending for a man who is canonically incorruptible, what the fuck) and simultaneously broke him again (giving low approval greetings to a romanced PC, what the fuck).

I... I just... the simultaneous feelings of rage and utter hopelessness are overwhelming.

Listen, if you've read any of my posts you know I have a pretty clear "Don't yuck anyone's yum" policy. If you think an evil Wyll ending is interesting, fine. But here's why it falls flat for me.

First, like I said above, Wyll is canonically incorruptible. It's literally the entire basis of his character. He is a man who was coerced into making an infernal contract to save a city and had to pay a horrible price for doing so, then spent seven fucking years alone in the wilderness doing his damned best to protect the people of the Sword Coast, while all along telling his horrible, abusive patron to just fuck off already.

Now, could you argue that during the events of the game, Wyll develops a taste for evil? Sure. There are plenty of opportunities for his villain origin story to unfold. But they never do. His moral compass never wavers. Turned into a devil? He feels shame, because it's an outward sign that he was doing things for Mizora that were morally wrong, and he didn't see it before. His approval rating for the PC shoots through the roof if you save Karlach, a sure indicator of his true moral compass. His father kidnapped? Fuck that noise, we're gonna save him. Rescue Zariel's "asset"? Ugh, fine, but don't get distracted from the real reason we're here. His father gets tadpoled? Oh hells no, we're gonna take down these assholes and save the godsdamned world. His father accuses him of being an agent of a devil and is super pissy about it? "Everything I did, I did for the people of the Sword Coast."

For fuck's sake, he will leave the party if the PC gets too evil, even knowing it means he'll probably turn into a mindflayer immediately. Even if he's romancing the PC. Unwavering moral compass. So giving him an evil ending without also going back and changing everything about his character just feels like lazy writing to me.

Which brings me to the second reason all of this rubs the wrong way. Wyll deserves so much more content. More romanced greetings, more reactions to other characters' choices, a final boss battle that is actually about him, a default ending that actually makes fucking sense (I have another post cooking about the Avernus ending, so I will leave it for now.)

And please, spare me your "But Wyll was rewritten after early access" bullshit. That's Larian's problem. They chose to listen to feedback and do a late-stage rewrite. They then chose to implement it poorly and never fucking fix it. Other characters, who already have far more content than Wyll, have had even more added over the course of the seven released patches. Wyll, on the other hand, has been sitting around completely ignored until now when we get this evil ending.

Many have rightfully pointed out the inherent racism steeped in all of this. I want Larian to be better. But as Maya Angelou said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." I already didn't have much hope about Patch 7 for Wyll, but this... honestly, this is worse than him just being ignored again.

The thing that kills me the most is that this is just going to be more fodder for the fandom to completely mischaracterize Wyll, for those who already haven't bothered to think critically about his character at all to just be like, oh, cool, Wyll is evil now. Nope. You've completely missed the point.

I'm just... so tired. I've worked very hard to put this little bubble of Wyll enthusiasts around me (hi friends I love you all!) so that I can hold on to some shred of sanity in this fandom. The world needs heroes of color. Just let Wyll be the hero in peace.

[burningcheese-merchant]

Can we get more of all of the yandere beasts? Idk. I'm kinda feral for your headcanons

Y E S

Assorted trivia/factoids because they've been rattling around in my head for ages now

Most to least physically violent: Burning Spice (duh), Silent Salt, Shadow Milk, Mystic Flour, Eternal Sugar

Most to least horny (I mean they all are, but... idk some of them REALLY need to go to Horny Jail): Burning Spice + Shadow Milk (tied for 1st), Eternal Sugar (she doesn't necessarily act on it usually, but the thoughts are certainly there), Silent Salt + Mystic Flour (tied for last; both are actually quite sexually repressed. Salt feels guilty for ever thinking of White Lily in such a "dirty" way, so he tries very hard not to ("exaggerated disgust for sin/impurity and shame for feeling/expressing such as is often seen in religious fundamentalism" is the vibe I'm going for). For Flour, it's just another manifestation of the extreme denial of her obsession that she grapples with. It's arguably worse because there is no worldly attachment more egregious and corrosive than lust. Just another way Dark Cacao has ruined her chances at enlightenment...)

How often do they actually try to go after their Ancients?

Shadow Milk: All the time lol. A few times a month, at least. Cooldown periods between harassment attempts only because he likes to make a big, elaborate show each time he appears to Pure Vanilla, which can take time depending on what Shadow has in mind

Eternal Sugar: Not too often, really. The laziness is strong with this one lol. When she reaches out to Hollyberry, she does so in dreams or just through stalking her via the Soul Jam most of the time. Something particularly upsetting has to catch Sugar's eye to get her to actually go after Holly in person (usually involving jealousy)

Mystic Flour: No. The answer is no. She maintains as much distance from Dark Cacao as possible. Back to the Ivory Pagoda she went after he left Beast-Yeast post-battle, and in the Ivory Pagoda she shall stay. Alone. Away from him. No matter how empty everything feels without him, including herself. No matter how badly her soul aches without him there. No matter how her blood boils at the thought of someone else taking up his time and attention. Because she doesn't want to do that anyway...

Burning Spice: All the time. About the same rate as Shadow Milk, more or less: a few times a month, with cooldown periods in between (but only to heal bc Golden Cheese beats the hell out of him every time he shows up). There are times where he gets extra hungry/desperate and hunts her down more frequently; once, he stalked and attacked her at least once a week for almost two months straight. It took her dropping another building on him to send him away again.

Silent Salt: He doesn't have to "go after" White Lily, he's already there lol. He's the most "successful" of the five in this regard; he gets to be near her pretty much 24/7. She is effectively trapped in Beast-Yeast because she feels an obligation towards him (mostly towards keeping people safe from him, but also that weird sense of pity and misguided commiseration), which he takes advantage of without hesitation. He sees her pretty much every day... whether she notices him there or not. (She does, most of the time. He's actually pretty difficult to ignore, even if he's hiding from view. She just SENSES him there. It's very off-putting)

Is there any possibility for redemption of some sort? Could professional help benefit them at all?

Shadow Milk: No. Death penalty.

Eternal Sugar: No... but a boring as hell talk therapy session might at least put her to a sleep deep enough that she can't be bothered to harass Hollyberry. Maybe. (Her laziness is her downfall, really. It's all anyone can count on sometimes.)

Mystic Flour: No, but she wouldn't say no to help. She does not want to feel this way about Dark Cacao. At this point, she'd rather forget he exists at all. He can keep the Soul Jam; if that's the price she has to pay to be free from this sickness, then fine. Just give her the cure. Please. For the love of God

Burning Spice: NO. DEATH PENALTY.

Silent Salt: ...No? Probably not. It's weird. His gentleness with White Lily herself, plus his genuine efforts to try to please her, almost make it seem as though he can be reasoned with, at least to some degree. But it's what makes him so scary, in a different way from the others - and it's what helps lock White Lily in the sad, strange little cycle they're in. He keeps lulling her into a false sense of security and enticing her to believe he won't act out this time... until he inevitably does, because, ironically, he can't keep his controlling nature under control for long. He'll only "behave" as long as he believes it'll curry White Lily's favor. And as long as there's nothing and no one there to challenge him or their "bond"...

And height comparisons, just because. (These are canon for me in general, across the board. Not just in this creepy ass AU lol)

Pure Vanilla: 5'9"/179cm VS Shadow Milk: 5'9"/179cm

Hollyberry: 5'6"/170cm VS Eternal Sugar: 5'5"/167cm

Dark Cacao: 6'1"/185cm VS Mystic Flour: 5'9"/179cm

Golden Cheese: 5'7"/173cm VS Burning Spice: 6'5"/198cm

White Lily: 5'8"/176cm VS Silent Salt: 6'1"/185cm

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

☆ Lance wants to quit racing Fernando wouldn't really care but for some reason when Lawrence asked for his help he feels the need to convince lance to stay. ☆

°*There’s only today ❀

Chapter one

“Fernando, Fernando you listening to me,” the words wake fernando up from his thoughts, It was Lawrence

“ Can you stay for some private words?” Lawrence looked at him from across the table though he was asked, there was no room to actually decide.

After the meeting was concluded and every one had cleared out Just the two of them stood on the balcony of the nice meeting room with the doors closed behind them Lawrence leaned against the railing, took a deep sigh and talked without ever looking directly at alonso, trying to hide from alonso some sort of shame but fernando could see it in the way he looked and stood he was seeping embarrassment fernando looked down to the busy street under the balcony to hide his smirk from lawrence

“ lance said he wont race” alonso looked up from the street so quick he almost got whiplash

“ what” alonso had expected something, well, else definitely not this. but was this it, had that no good bratty kid finally decided to do every one the favor and retire. Alonso couldn't believe it no wonder lawrence was ashamed his son who has the easiest career in formula one history was retiring for no reason other than being lazy and when the news got word of this the whole motorsports world would cheer in celebration, ok maybe not celebrate that's cruel even for alonso, it's not like he hates lance he was worried about a minute ago it's just he has a hard time appreciating lanc, yea thats the word, but nobody’s gonna miss lance, they'll all breath a sigh of relief when they hear the news even alonso.

Alonso doesnt realize hes smiling until he looks up to see lawrence giving him a knowing look

He quickly fixes his face

“I'm going to keep his and my conversation more private but he's upset again you know how he gets, but this time I really don't know what to say to him, i'm not sure if you're aware you have always been like a role model for him not that I'm saying you have to but please, talk to him, he really looks up to you I mean that kids the reason we had you signed, he basically begged me to sign you”

Fernando found that hard to believe. Lance didn't so much as spare him a glance nowadays no less treat him like an idol but Fernando just continued to stare at Lawrence Not answering hoping that would end Lawrence's speech sense pretty much got from the short exchange what he needed to. He needed to talk to lance, but for what he had no actual idea

Still Lawrence continued “ he never knows what he wants, but I do, I know what's best for him.”

*****

Walking back to his dressing room fernando was still trying to put together what lawrence was trying to get him to do

Lance was feeling down that much fernando new but refusing to race was a bit much, lawrence had informed him that he and his son had had a fight which ended in lance refusing to race in ‘his fathers shitty car’ as he had said it but if Lance didn't wanna race how was HE gonna convince him to race? especially if his own father couldn't get him to, it was just stupid that lawrence would ask him to even try but here he was at lance's room anyway, he knocked and waited, getting no reply he knocked again

“ey lance, you here” he tried calling out to him

no reply

strange

But he tried again, still to no aveil Fernando was about to leave when he heard some movement on the other side of the door. Then the door swings open and Lance stands there staring at him, neither says anything. And Fernando realizes that lance doesn't look too good. His hair is messy and unkempt, also plastered to the side of his head , he's wet with sweat sticking to his forehead making him look dirty and he has dark circles under his eyes.

“Im guessing my father send you” lance looks annoyed

“ yes he did “ fernando acts like he doesn't notice the change in lances deminer. Alonso tried his most very worried voice, and it wasnt that he didn't care about Lance and whatever he was going through but he didn't really know what was going on between him and his dad, he was just doing what Lawrence asked him to do.

“Your fathers very worried about you lace-

“Can you not do this please ” lance said dragging his hand over his face and letting out a deep sigh subsequently cutting Alonso off ( he's letting it go as lance usually doesn't act like this and he obviously going through something) lance moves over to allow fernando into his room fernando walks in and looks at lance continuing.

“ your father told me you do not want to race” Alonso made sure to keep his face unreadable

Lance is quiet just staring at the ground like a toddler getting scolded.

“ you want a faster car I know that but you still have to race bad car or not” fernando doesn't really know what he's saying but he's just gotta get lance to understand that sometimes things suck but there's nothing you can do about it, honestly lance should have learned that years ago but he's a rich kid so alonso learned not to expect much from him, no real empathy or grasps on reality, but that doesn't matter right now he's just gotta convince lance to race and forget about whatever it is that's bothering him.

Lance looks up from the ground glaring at fernando before answering a bit angrily

“did my father tell you that,” a pause fernando doesn't say anything, isn't this what it was about “I was upset with the car, mad I didn't get a fast car and threw a tantrum refusing to race” lance continues to stare at fernando and fernando stares back

Fernando feels a bit dumb but he doesn't let on,he had pieced together what Lawrence had said to him and that's what he had come up with. Was he wrong? had he just assumed it was the car because he himself thought the car was trash? If so, why else would Lance refuse to race? Fernando couldn't think of any other reason not with what Lawrence had told him at least.

”Look fernando I get it my dad probably told you to come say this to me but I don't really need this right now, if you could just go i'd really love that, and um you can tell my dad you inspired me or whatever just leave me alone before the race, yea? thanks”

Fernando was shocked as lance shuffled him out the doorway before blocking the entrance to his room

“ and tell him I'll race,” he said before closing the door in Fernandos face.

Fernando was left standing there like an idiot. He was worried and angry, but mostly upset because Lance just pushed him out of his room. They'd never been close but that was disrespectful and rude, which again wasn't something lance would do to fernando. Fernando began to worry

[so-i-did-this-thing]

On the receding hairline - I'm delighted that you and my partner have similar receding lines. He's Cis, about the same age as you, and both his dad and brother have the same spots showing up thin on their foreheads. (They're all far too lazy to actually do anything about it, other than wear a hat. I think it makes Zak look distinguished, and gives me more room for my favorite thing, Forehead Smooches!!)

What a delight of modern science that it's so indistinguishable between cis and trans men!

Right? Hormones are absolutely body alchemy, and it's wild how focused cis folks are on surgery, when hacking the endocrine system is what does the majority of the physiological changes.

Some kind of combination of ignorance and unwillingness to admit how malleable our bodies actually are. A shame, because it's pretty neat stuff.

[vees-scribbles]

HI!!!!! i hav a request but first i jus wanna say thankk you for writing for bo i think about him. too much. he's my favorite. of all time. and not a lot of people do write about him which is a tragedy. my atrocious man ohhhh he's so vile i need to violently shake him. ANYWAYS my request is uh bo x reader who is (very obviously, but hiding it poorly) down bad for him from the get go. and still is even when the learn about his uh, true nature. if that's okay. you can make this a bit nsfw if you want i don't care that much i just need words about him. hope this prompt makes enough sense. thank you so much though, seriously!!

Omg I'm so glad you enjoy what I write. I am a simple person, I see a jerk with a southern accent and I fold 🤭 I can definitely do this for you! An actual ficlet instead of headcanons this time because boo I want to. I tried not to describe reader too much so it was relatable, so I hope it's good!

(I finished this and then forgot to post it for several days oops)

Peculiar Creature: Bo Sinclair x Reader

CW: Mentions of violence, Reader generally unperturbed by murder

An odd little thing. That was what Bo had thought of you, right off the bat. He was used to tourists flirting with him, sure. He encouraged it, in fact. It made it more fun when they realized he wasn't the harmless, charming gentleman he played. But you...you weren't flirting, you were straight up fawning. It was like you had gone past the 'hey this guy's pretty cute' stage straight into a full crush. Stumbling over your words, fidgeting with your clothes, your eyes widening when he'd throw that smirk of his your way. It was adorable, Bo thought, but truly strange.

And oh, had he had fun with you. Anything from harmless compliments to paying you a little extra attention in a group. Toying with his ring when he'd noticed the way your hands would catch on his hands and you'd clear your throat. You were clearly trying to play it cool and clearly very, very bad at it.

What a shame, he'd thought, when the time came. Nothing ever lasted forever. Maybe he'd keep you for a few hours, would you like that? Even now?

He thought it with a sense of malice, but nothing could have prepared him for the idea that maybe you actually would. Come on, what kind of freak would still enjoy that after everything that went down that night?

You, apparently. You stood in front of him, eyes darting between him and the body of someone in your group. A boyfriend? Friend? It didn't matter to Bo. And he knew the look in your eyes, however unexpected it was, it didn't matter to you either. He advanced slowly, that same lazy smirk on his features.

"Well, well, well," he drawled, chuckling in a way that was more condescending than amused. He had you pressed again the wall of one of the houses in town, his forearm by your head as he leaned close. "What have we got here? Peculiar creature, ain't ya?"

You gave a small little laugh, the kind that almost made Bo want to laugh, too. He raised his other hand, patting your head in the most condescending way he could manage.

"Nervous?" He asked, still smirking. He was growing more amused with every second. The way he couldn't tell if you were leaning into him or shrinking away from him. He trailed a finger along your jaw, down your neck. It hooked briefly into the neckline of your shirt before he quickly moved his hand altogether, grabbing your waist and tugging you to him. "Are ya scared of me, sugar?"

Bo did laugh this time, because you shook your head. Despite the fact that you were shocked silent, stiff as a board against him, damn near quaking, you insisted you weren't afraid of him.

He pushed off the wall just enough to hook an arm around your legs and toss you over his shoulder. He didn't know if the sound you made was pure shock or fear, but it only made him laugh again.

"Think I'll keep ya." He didn't tell you how long. He didn't know himself. A while, if you kept being this entertaining.

Thunderbolts* spoilers under the cut!!

Be warned!!

So, I watched Thunderbolts* yesterday and I loved it so so much. I have since seen approximately 1702 people talking about what Bucky would've seen in the Void. Very interesting question of course, I was absolutely devastated when I realised we wouldn't be getting those scenes, but I'm more curious about the other characters in the Void so here are my theories,

Ava:

the moment her parents died and her cells went unstable, which was traumatic as fuck (I also understand why we logically wouldn't have gotten a scene we've kind of already seen in a previous movie but shhh).

We know that, like pretty much the entire team, Ava was an assassin for a really long time and probably had to do a lot of things she did not want to do. She probably would've gotten a similar scene to Yelena's of her killing someone she did not want to hurt. Can't really say who because we don't know enough about her character so I'm going off crumbs.

Here is where I get even more vague, because we know essentially nothing about Ava's life after Antman beyond that she worked for Valentina. I think we would've seen some kind of more recent scene (like Yelena's bathroom scene with the alcohol) but I have no idea what because all that's stated about her life before the movie was that she was on clean up duty for a bit.

Alexei:

I know Alexei is mostly a comic relief character, but he has still had a very intriguing story. For the first room he probably would've seen something from his time as the Red Guardian, possibly the moment people started to revere him less and less.

The scene where he puts Natasha and Yelena in the Red Room from Alexei's POV or perhaps a moment of reflection after. He's a very flawed character but I highly doubt he enjoyed putting his daughter in there, and considering the focus on shameful memories I think this one definitely would've made the cut.

As I want to keep a similar format to Yelena's rooms (ending on a more recent scene) Alexei's last room would probably further focus on his 'fall from grace'. He straight up says he's miserable in his new life and that the only thing that made him happy was serving his country, so this would've elaborated on that. Maybe a similar scene to the one we got when Alexei first appeared in Thunderbolts*, watching his glory days as a pathetic washed up old man (sorry, Alexei)

Walker:

Walker clearly puts a lot of value on his supposed moral superiority to the assassins on the team. It also really stuck out to me that he told Yelena that she was lucky she was a kid when she went through her whole assassin thing, because she could claim she didn't know any better. This could've just reffered to, you know, Walker murdering a civilian in broad daylight, but I think it could've also been about his time in the army (because war is traumatic, shocker I know).

I was tempted to say this room would be the moment he murdered that civilian in broad daylight, but I think it actually would've been the moment after. In the moment, Walker didn't feel shame. Afterwards, when he was stripped of his title and had to face the consequences of his actions and process his friends death, would probably have been much worse.

The moment Olivia divorced him or something of a similar nature. Bit lazy considering the scene we already saw in the movie, I know, but still worth putting here because that absolutely devastated me, I loved them together in FATWS. Also Walker's obsession with his reputation as Captain America creates a very interesting parallel to Alexei's obsession with his reputation as the Red Guardian, but that's a post for another day.

I know I started this by saying that I was more interested in the other characters, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see Bucky's scenes!! It just means that we know a lot more about Bucky's story than we do about the others, so if I had to choose I would've rather seen Ava or Walker's scenes than Bucky's. That being said,

Bucky:

Probably the moment he became the Winter Soldier or the moment HYDRA came to collect him from the ravine he'd fallen in. This has the same issue that Ava's first room does (that we've already seen that scene), but it would be pretty devastating to see Bucky trying to fight the HYDRA agents before they can drag him off as if that could change what happened (the same way Yelena tried to step between the gun and her friend in her first room).

I can't decide between having a room about a murder he particularly regrets (possible the murder of Tony's parents?? Idk) or a moment where Bucky (as the Winter Soldier) was more lucid than he normally was as his handlers erase his memories again (something like the moment he remembered Steve, though it wouldn't be that exact moment because it wasn't exactly shameful to remember Steve).

This man has so much trauma I genuinely struggled to narrow it down, but I think the moment at the start of Civil War with Zemo. How he, despite finally being free, still responded to those trigger words. How it really didn't take much for him to fall back into form. I would've used a more recent trauma like with the others but, once again, Bucky has so much trauma and it was already hard enough to decide on this so I'm sticking with it.

You're more than welcome to share your theories in the tags, I need to see more versions of their Void like it is the air that I breathe

Pick Nine: Characters I Dream About

🐠 Dori's List

When playing a recent tag game, @nabi-unveiled mentioned that their "dream about" list would be very different from their favorite character list and that made us very curious. So we said, I'll show you mine if you show us yours! So they did! Here's @nabi-unveiled's Characters I Dream About and 🐈 Kat's list. This post will be mine :)

Wanna play too? Consider this your official invite! Just make sure to tag us so we can follow along ❤

Is it hot in here?

Let's go!

As usual, I spent WAY too much energy and time overthinking this list 😁 I also had to come up with some rules for myself. When you make your list, do it how ever you want. No need to follow my self imposed rules. Also, I apparently feel the need to explain some things about making this list for anyone actually interested. Skip ahead if you don't care to find out how my brain works! LOL. In my mid 40s, I learned some things about my current self while making this list.

Dori TMI Ahead

First, when trying to come up with my list, I hit an immediate wall when trying to decide who I want to dream about. If I let my dreams include myself, anxiety and other factors made me immediately uncomfortable and caused a momentary crisis if I am honest. What I like to think about is not the same as what I want to experience, apparently even in my imagination, so I needed to take myself out of the equation. In my list, I'll be dreaming about getting a bonus scene with their partner. 😜

My brain has decided it doesn't want to memory right now. I must be spending so much time and energy mentally living in what I am currently watching because I could only think of characters I have watched semi recently.

Also, I am apparently too lazy to be creative. Generally, I don't think of people in a sexual way unless given a reason. Something about their actions or words has to spark that thought process for me or I have to intentionally go there, it doesn't happen accidentally. So for that reason, when I ask my brain for this type of character, I am finding it harder to consider characters outside the more spicy series. They just aren't popping into my mind right now.

Since my brain is lazy and wants to think about only characters I have watched lately AND have shown me their sexy side, my list is apparently limited to the spicy thai BLs I have watched. 🤣

Notes about my preferences:

Bodies are bodies and although I find many of them beautiful and sexy and I enjoy looking at them, this does not directly connect to sex in my brain. For me, I need context of what those bodies are doing to connect those dots. For this reason, attraction to the physical image of a person will not give them access to my fantasies.

I'm need more than a pretty meat suit to be attracted to a human. It takes personality and usually some kind of emotional connection. A pretty package is just bonus.

In real life, I am a green flag girl. I have a DEEP love for my green flag characters, but I don't mind some red flags in my fiction. Butterflies come from the safety part of our brain, so sometimes a red flag is exactly what gets my sexy spidey senses tingling. 😜

Who made the list? I find desire sexy as hell. My favorite character to "dream about" will always be characters that know what they want, aren't shy about it, and enjoy being physical. These are characters I want to see lose themselves in their desire, whether through taking control or surrendering.

Finally, the Characters I Dream About in no particular order and only for today because I reserve the right to change my mind tomorrow 🤣

1) King from Bed Friends. King has no shame when asking for what he wants while also caring for the wants of his partner. He doesn't run from his desire even when what he desires changes from something physical into something more emotional. Love Uea in this series too, but he's holding back from fully leaning in to what he wants (initially and for reasons). So the guidelines I set for myself made this an easy choice for once. I spent way too much time thinking about these two while making this list and now I think I need to re-watch this.

2) Ming from My Stand-In. Ming's one of my favorite red flags. Also, one of my first BLs. His want turned to need in a way that had me pretty obsessed. I want some more please.

3) Great from 4 Minutes. My favorite Great when it comes to something I want to dream about is the original timeline Great. He is really just there for the pure enjoyment of the moment. Zero shyness or shame and doesn't even care about secretly being recorded. Frick... I need to re-watch this one too 🙄

4) Johan from Fourever You. Excuse me Sir, that was hot! We will not be discussing what that did to my sexy spidey sense 😳

5) Kant from The Heart Killers. Not going to lie, this one surprised me and I am both confused and not confident about his appearance on this list. This show is overflowing with characters that give themselves over to what they want with many that seem to fit my tastes/guidelines better; Style's over the top unquenchable need, the intensity of Fadel's early episode pent up energy, or Bison and is barely contained emotions that take over in the blink of an eye. Plus half the scenes we got of Kant, he was scared or overwhelmed by guilt, so he should be completely ruled out. Maybe I just want to see him back at episode 1, just there for the pleasure of moment. Or maybe I am fooling myself and it is really all about that top lip and butt grab! But I think he's the one I would want to see the most... right now... in this moment... I may change my mind in 30 seconds. Also, why am I so fascinated with his top lip?!? Like I need that in 3D.

6) Namping from Every You, Every Me. I can't talk about him. It was love at first sight and I desperately wish I could have seen him just give in and live in that moment. 😭😭😭 Fuck this show.

7) Meunfah from Your Sky. I just saw these two as the cutest ever, right up until they weren't. 😳 For someone that finds desire sexy, these two had me unhinged. Fah went from completely consumed by love to completely consumed by passion and I could watch these two all day. When trying to choose between the two, Fah won with his straight forwardness, how he is so tuned into his partner, and his self control when it's necessary. Though the way Teerak gets absolutely swept away makes me want to live in that body.

8) Phu from The Boy Next World. It's about how badly they want each other. And Cir has some unreal levels of self control when it comes to reigning himself in, which I apparently find hot as fuck. But this time, it's the way Phu hits the gas when Cir is trying to pump the breaks that I can't stop thinking about... today, in this minute.

9) my brain is done braining so I will go with an easy pick Lian from Cutie Pie. They spent so much time showing us beautiful loving scenes between these two, but I definitely dream about Lian letting go and getting lost in the intensity of his need for Kuea. 🥵

Honorable mentions that didn't make the cut:

Thame from ThamePo. Thame is 100% my every dream when it comes to a partner. If there was one character I could be, it would be Po. I WANT SOMEONE TO BE TIRED FOR ME!!!! Fuck. That show was relationship porn. And the butterflies I got when he touched Po's hand to hold it for the first time... my sexy spidey sense did things that defy logic or reason. And it may have taken him a minute, but once he decide to go for what he wanted, there was no hesitation.

Sian from Every You, Every Me. Damn my own self inflicted rules forcing me to choose between him and Namping. But it was a hard choice. Sian's don't give a fuck confidence and willingness to go after what he wants was hot as hell.

I really wanted a woman on my list and I know there are many that I could come up with if I gave it more thought, but I am tired. My lazy brain is filled with my current watches, which don't have any women I think of in this way. But one did come to find from a couple years ago... Dao Ming Zhuang from Meteor Garden. I was already in love with her badass self and then she showed up in front of my eyes dancing like that. I might be scared of her, but that's what would make it fun right?

@nabi-unveiled, thank you so much for playing along with us! Loved seeing your list ❤ People like you are what makes Tumblr so fun!

I showed you mine... your turn!

Wasn't going to tag anyone, but then I remembered I wanted to officially tag @my-rose-tinted-glasses after the last game! Come play if you want or feel free to pass 😁

Headcanons of my DB Boys

(Frieza, Frost, Cell, and Zamasu)

So, imma make this into one large post, since that's just gonna be easier for me. I'm also gonna split up the headcanons from SFW and NSFW in case people don't feel like reading anything dirty. In any case, here are my silly headcanons.

Frieza Headcanons

SFW:

Frieza is a wine lover (borderline alcoholic) tends to be his cope when dealing with just about any negative emotion.

Has trouble expressing his emotions with words. His actions speak louder.

Has a pretty short temper. Quite a few things annoy him, but things such as stupidity and arrogance infuriate him the most.

When not being an emperor, he often enjoys reading and studying, but can also enjoy playing advanced games, such as chess.

Thinks highly of his appearance - especially appreciates and admires his tail.

Has a high standard when it comes to food. When done right, he favorites tend to be any sort of seafood; crab, lobster, fish, things along those lines.

His only real insecurity is his height (most who make fun of his shortness end up dead lol)

Hates when his father - or anyone - refers to him as "princess"

Bears great shame for his initial defeat against Goku on Namek, though attempts to keep it hidden (and often fails). Also gained immense PTSD from the incident. Yay.

Has a naturally intimidating presence, but just about everyone knows that.

Always enjoys having his ego stroked, no matter what the situation

While not necessarily a light sleeper, his senses are so keen he often can notice even the slightest changes around him.

If there is a person who he actually cares about (which is very few) even he can't resist sparing his occassional moments of softness.

Closeness and intimacy frighten him on an emotional level - afraid to allow himself become "weak" and risk someone hurting him. Or worse, afraid of hurting them in turn. (He's an emperor, but he has feelings dammit!)

NSFW:

Frieza (and his entire race) are intersex/are hermaphrodites. Meaning they are single sexed, and also have both male and female genitalia, hidden within their cloaca.

He is bisexual, enjoying the company of both men and women, though he slight preference towards men.

Isn't necessarily picky about a person's appearance, so long as it's appealing.

Personality wise, it depends on the person - he can enjoy dominating over someone shy and nervous, but can also enjoy *being* dominated by someone strong and confident. Though any and all disrespect is a turn off.

He has no preference for roles; he's fine being top or bottom. Again, mostly depends on the person he's with.

While he may be a sadist outside the bedroom, he can be quite different in bed. He can be however rough or gentle his partner wants. He gets more satisfaction in getting reactions from whomever he's with.

Frieza is surprisingly affectionate. Enjoys kissing, sweet talk, gentle caresses, and etc.

Has a praise kink. Can't help murmuring words of praise and compliments to his partner and seeing their reaction.

Being addressed by his proper title is a huge turn on for him.

Never likes to skip to the main event. Thoroughly enjoys foreplay, giving and receiving.

Doesn't necessarily have the largest dick, but is average size for his race.

Frost Headcanons:

SFW:

Similar to Frieza, is a wine lover. Though doesn’t have nearly as big a problem as Frieza.

Often wants to avoid direct fights as often as possible, especially if he has no chance of winning

Can often be annoyed, but unlike Frieza, doesn’t lash out unless necessary.

Is and has always been a lonely person, especially after his cover as a hero was blown.

If he did have more free time, he’d rather enjoy lazy activities, such as watching TV, playing video games, and listening to music.

Is actually pretty skilled with electronics. Can usually hack many basic technology.

Is rather insecure about both his abilities and his looks, especially compared to Frieza.

Frost has a sweet tooth, and enjoys several desserts, parfaits being his favorite. Though he also likes pastas and some crab dishes, like Frieza.

Despite what people might think, he’s actually a very sensitive person. It’s easy for him to feel guilt or shame or sadness.

Has *serious* trust issues. Is extremely paranoid and fearful that everyone is out to hurt him somehow, especially after he becomes a fugitive. The world is a scary place to him.

His erasure at T.O.P was a traumatic experience for him.

Has lots of trouble sleeping, as he’s very prone to nightmares.

Keeps several hidden poison needles on his person; including wrists, heels, tail, and even the tip of his tongue.

Honest to Kami, this poor baby just needs a hug and a shoulder to cry on!!! 🥺🥺 (wow, I have really sad headcanons of Frosty boy)

NSFW:

Like Frieza, he is intersex/hermaphrodite.

He is bisexual, though with a heavy preference towards males (I use to headcanon him as gay, but that has changed)

Is almost certainly a virgin, though mainly out of fear of intimacy and vulnerability. Has immense trouble trusting anyone with his body (and his heart)

Has an extremely sensitive body, especially on his neck, his tail, and between the legs.

Is usually attracted to men with bigger builds and strong personalities - anyone who makes him feel weak. Or rather, feels safe enough to allow himself to be weak.

Has an extremely sensitive body, especially on neck, tail, and between the legs

Does NOT enjoy pain of any sort. Is quite terrified of it actually.

Frost is a submissive bottom. His biggest preference, but also because he’s often too shy to ever take charge.

Always prefers a slow, gentle build up towards the main event. A chance to relax and adapt. Though when sucked into the main event, will finally demand for something a bit more rough.

Is certainly not a quiet lover. Has rather loud vocal chords.

Also has a smaller than average dick, but it’s not his main concern.

Has a praise kink, but prefers being the receiver.

Enjoys being “dominated” over, but only with someone he truly trusts.

Perfect Cell Headcanons:

SFW:

Can and is an arrogant ass. No one is more perfect than himself.

Obviously thinks highly of his own looks and abilities. Truly loves himself.

Often enjoys teasing and mocking others whenever he feels like it (especially people like Vegeta or Frieza)

Similar to Frost, enjoys watching TV and playing video games. But he also enjoys more athletic activities.

Also has a short temper, and isn’t afraid to express it through his fists

Is the smart ass king. Full of snarky comments and sarcasm.

In spite of what people might think, he’s actually very observant. Very good at reading people for who they really are or what they’re really feeling.

Has amazing healing abilities due to Piccolo’s DNA

Is not picky with food. Like just about everything - except anything with bugs. He *refuses* to eat bugs of any sort!

Despite his high self esteem, he does feel a certain shame when being referred to as a “monster” or “freak”. Often turn out to be trigger words for his rage.

Claims he’s a lone wolf, but in truth can be quite lonely at times, even if he ends up pushing others away.

Is a heavy sleeper and a loud snorer. An explosion could happen outside his bedroom and he’d hardly be phased.

Never lies. Always tells the truth, sometimes even bluntly. This is cause he *despises* lies.

NSFW:

Only has male genitalia but keeps it concealed under the black sheath on his groin.

Cell is pansexual - is attracted to all races and genders alike. He’s into everyone and everything.

Tends to have a dirty mind, though never to the point of disgusting or depraved.

You know this guy has a porno collection and is proud of it

There is little Cell isn’t into; has a wide variety of kinks. Though one of his favorites tends to be biting.

While normally fine with either role, Cell prefers to top (and almost always does).

Isn’t afraid to flirt or talk dirty. It’s practically his first language at times.

Usually adapts to whatever preferences his lover wants, since he enjoys sex either way.

Similar to Frieza, isn’t necessarily picky about appearances, so long as it’s appealing.

Usually likes people who are “hard to get”, or aren’t easy - tsunderes really.

Theres no soft way of putting this - he has a big dick. That’s all I’m saying. Moving on.

Enjoys most attention on his face and dick, since the rest of his body is covered in bio-armor, and thus has no real nerves to feel pleasure.

Straight up, is an *amazing* kisser.

Zamasu Headcanons:

SFW:

Has little patience for people in general, though especially regarding mortals.

While he’s a skilled fighter, doesn’t really like fighting. Finds it to be primitive and barbaric.

Puts himself on a higher pedestal than all mortals, and even some immortals.

During his free time, he’ll often enjoy the peace and quiet with his reading, practicing calligraphy, cooking, and meditation. Anything to ease his thoughts.

Claims he hates mortals, but really he’s just frustrated he doesn’t understand them and their illogical decisions.

Absolutely hates loud noises. Something about them just brings him immense anxiety. He attempts to keep hidden earplugs on his person.

Often asks the big questions in life, searching for his true purpose in the universe.

Enjoys foods that don’t necessarily have a strong flavor. Simplicity is appealing to his taste buds. Like a nice cup of tea.

Is very good at holding his composure - but only for so long.

Is a light sleeper. Tends to make him rather grumpy.

NSFW:

Possesses “typical” male genitalia (I heard somewhere that apparently Kai don’t have anything down there - my headcanon doesn’t agree)

One would assume he’s possible ace, both in means of attraction and romance. But Zamasu is actually gay - he’s just very very closeted. (Not about being gay, but about being attracted to anyone in general)

His standards for a partner are high. In fact he firmly believes there’s no one who could both appeal to him and understand him. BUT! Should they happen to do so, he tends to enjoy bigger builds on men. As for personality….all he really wants is someone he can understand, and in turn understand him.

While he does feel arousal and love, he can’t help feeling ashamed at doing so, thinking he should above such primitive feelings.

Is incredibly shy in bed, both with exposing his body and committing to the act.

When eventually relaxed enough to have sex, he does enjoy and appreciate foreplay, but only certain kinds.

Has the most sensitive ears. Enjoys having them touched, kissed, and bitten.

Is almost always a bottom role, often as a preference and because he lacks experience.

Just like Frost, is probably a virgin - in fact even more likely to be one.

Keeps quiet for most of the time, at least unless he’s close or is during the main event.

Like Frost, doesn’t enjoy pain in the slightest.

Okay, I think that’s everything (literally took me a few hours to complete this, but it was worth it). Now keep in mind, these are just MY headcanons. They are not fact, and you do not have to agree with them. I just wanted to write my interpretation of my favorite DB boys.

What do guys think? Tell me yours thoughts if you’d like! In any case, hope you enjoy!

Yakuza Fiance ep 7 Manga Comparison

Ok we are getting into things now, again comparing the anime adaptation to its manga chapters and seeing what was lost. Warning I am using fanstranslations cause I'm lazy.

The train scene isn't so bad but again we loose out on some set up

I guess maybe spoiler? But Tsubaki shows up later and we get this cute image of her but the more important cut is what happens right after.

Yoshino starts talking about people she knows, and how she could easily hook Kirishima up with some good deals and such. This is kinda an important detail for the arc like in ep 6 where they removed her being more of a tour guide this helps to show that Yoshino is more tuned in than you'd assume, Kirishima included. She's reliant on him in Tokyo cause she's new there. (There's also the character beat missed in her saying he has theses connections too but his have.......different circumstances) Anyway this is what leads into the keychain scene. I do like how the anime leaves him dumbfounded holding them for a bit would have appreciated a little more of a linger maybe a simple zoom in for emphasis though.

Nao's scene with her college, I think club members, is cut down a bit you don't miss much but it is made apparent how she's not liked by the female members and that she's manipulating the guys more (we'll see this later too) I think the only real loss is this bit

Nao's internal thoughts are always pretty funny as she's really shows he mean side better. What's more of a loss is her thoughts on the bus.

This shows that Nao did her own digging the morning after from seeing the lock screen and putting that together with the new info she gets. It's interesting how Yoshino is described and how the word has spread (though its probably intentional by Kirishima) Anyway it gives a little more depth to Nao so its a shame.

Meeting and talking with Yoshino is similar but again we loose more Nao thoughts.

She's so low key bothered by the fact that Yoshino doesn't know who she is. (Spoiler she does girl you got played so bad)

Like Nao really just has the meanest thoughts (I really should do my dedicated metas) The only other thing to note is the manga makes it clear that during the elementary school incident she was already in middle school.

The bedroom scene with Yoshino and Shoma is basically the same the main difference being some Yoshino thoughts as she looks into things on the phone and this cute little interaction at the end

Again overall the Nao and Ozu confrontation is similar but some details are lost such as Ozu mentioning she's been ignoring his calls. But they did take out something pretty important for context.

Ozu explains himself and his actions a little more here in the manga (and kind of Kirishima's own) this leans into Ozu mentioning him more smoothly.

We also get a little more on why he wanted Yoshino too

Also Nao is more shocked in the manga all her assumptions about Yoshino kinda dying in an instant.

The aquarium "not a date" date is pretty close but we do loose some stuff as well. Like this cute moment from Yoshino

(Showing her naturally lazy side, haha)

Then we get more info on Yoshino's license and why Kirishima wants one

(He just wants to drive Yoshino around)

The volunteer club scene is pretty much the same but we get more dialogue implying that Nao isn't as good at covering her intentions as she thinks (I seriously think she doesn't actually do anything in the club)

Soooo they again cut some context as Kirishima explains about his um "patron" situation

Just saying a lot of things should start clicking when you hear this, again I really should get to work on my deep dives.

Anyway the scene after is pretty one for one which I'm grateful for but this might just be a me thing I think the phone interruption scene is a bit off

In the manga we never really see Kirishima's face outside of his fake smile so I always got the impression he let his mask slip for a moment in frustration at being interrupted the anime lets us see and I think it doesn't give the same impact.

Also while her talk with Shoma doesn't leave much out the framing of the shot isn't as impactful

Shoma really looks a little scared here, probably cause he knows how she gets when shes mad, but the anime he comes off just looking confused.

The scene with Kirishima and Nao is similar cut down a bit so feel the switches in tone more quickly than the manga though thats not too bad I did like how his VA handled it. Though we loose him implying Nao was going to try and use Yoshino and this line

The rest of the scene pans out basically the same again with just some added back and forth in the manga and more character hints. Like with the other shots I mentioned though I think the manga does a better job at conveying how panicked and surprised Kirishima is that Yoshino pulled one over on him

I think with just a little camera work the scene could have been really great.

I'll end things though with just how pretty and bad ass Yoshino looks in the manga like anime isnt bad but like

You really can't compare.

Shinsou x reader drabble

I needed to get this off my chest so here! I may expand on this later but I'm already writing 2 fics so who knows..

Warnings: none

Pairing: shinsou Hitoshi/Reader

Reader is a program, no pronouns used

Series: My Hero Academia

Not proofread, don't @ me I just watched FreeGuy again and my fav boy would hella have one of those desktop companion things that mess with your screen. But what if sentient.

Shinsou Hitoshi, alone, relentlessly bullied, sniffling as he shuffles down the street and rubbing his scraped elbow. He finds a random ass usb drive on his way home in the back streets leading to his mums apartment one day, and being a kid he saw no problem in trying it out on his computer. He was tech savvy and could probably locate the owner with a bit of digging (snooping). He'd rather do that than hang out with the friends he didn't have anyway. The program loaded onto his computer instantly, starting a character maker of all things, so with a shrug, Hitoshi made you how he envisioned the perfect friend for him, his favourite hair colour, eyes, a cute outfit, and pressed 'create'.

Since he had no friends, he figured why the fuck not try this thing out, seemed harmless enough.

The moment you rendered on his screen you greeted him joyfully and played with his browser windows while he searched your source code on the device only to come up empty for whoever owned or made the program.

A little weary at first, but it didn't take long for him to start talking to you and open up. He was so lonely, and the more you listened the more you could see a warmth of friendship blossoming.

He started to talk to you when he got home from school, telling it about his day, his homework, and as time went on the responses he got from you felt more real, genuine. Whoever wrote this code was pretty damn talented.

You were with him when he got into UA, helped him with homework and assignments and research. You could access the internet and any files on his computer and being unaware of your own sentience, you were happy. Hitoshi always seemed happier when he got home and you could talk his stress away, or just be with him as he gamed in comfortable silence. As he aged, so did you. As his computer upgraded, so did you. The usb always re downloaded you on to the new device.

His first couple relationships and breakups were hard, on him and you. These people must be nuts to hate him for his quirk! No one is more charming than your Hitoshi.

Years pass and he's suddenly an underground hero, he's absent from his home and computer. He misses you and hates how attached he is to this intuitive program he calls his best friend. He wishes.. Maybe even romantic partner, but that's just silly right? He can't stop thinking of you while he's away, and likewise, since he stopped turning his computer off, you craved his company too. You saw how much of a mess the world was in, and a little hacking got you past press propaganda and into the real shit hidden behind the scenes. To know he was out there facing it every day.. Worried you.

When he comes home with fresh bandages and exhausted features, his first move is to sit down at his screen and talk to you. He doesn't like your worried face. Or that you scold him for not sleeping first. He missed the company of someone who got him. Really actually honest to God understood him. He didn't have to act stoic or in charge, he didn't have to be guarded and play a role expected of him by society. Not with you.

As you're comforting him through his mission talk, he leans back in his chair and regards the screen with a lazy smirk, those amethyst eyes watching you, studying you. You'd grown, as his tastes matured so did you. Fuck you were perfect. He runs his hand down his face as for the millionth time he mentally kicks himself at how dumb he must be for falling for a program.

"It's a shame really, days like this.. I wish you were really here. I could kinda use a hug right now.." His voice is deep but rough, strained from exhaustion, and you can't help but smile softly at him, touching the screen as if to return your same want. Shinsou sighs out 3 weeks of undercover work exhaustion and closes his tired eyes.

He never admits to wanting physical affection, but you can always tell. The way he holds himself as if to isolate himself but craving the opposite, the way he talks about how touchy his friends are with each other. Your heart aches for him, but all you can do is watch, and maybe sort his files for him while he sleeps.

As a hidden status bar finally fills to the max, you blink the spots from your vision. Something hurts. Huh, that's new, pain. Your legs hurt. Of course they do they're tangled in a computer chair. And oh, you're on top of Hitoshi, who, despite years of pro hero training, has a look on his face you have never seen. Utter bewilderment.

(Obviously the first thing you do is hug him, and the awkward bastard we know and love can't compute and is red as a tomato)

One can imply the romantic/sexual tension over the following months as you please, because you're a literal ethereal, perfect being, his best friend, and you can finally exist with each other. Touch each other. Comfort each other. But you bet your ass once BAKUGO finds out how you met each other at the next 1a Réunion Xmas party he goes from 'damn you have good taste mindfuck' to never letting him live it down. The dating sim jokes never stop. You don't let it get to you, you give him plenty of Sass back, since you heard all the embarrassing stories from the UA years, you had so, so much ammunition to backup your boyfriend.

The usb is gone and you explore life, living life, with your best friend and now, partner, perfectly made for each other and there whenever you need each other. You experience touch, and taste, and smell for the first time, you show off your computer skills to Shinsou and he finds you a job at his agency, you hold him every night he's home, you still help him with his own work (since you basically learnt the whole heroics course with him), and he lights up when he gets to introduce you to his found family. His mentor included.

(aizawa was quick to deduce you're either the manifestation of a quirk or likely your quirk allowed you to enter digital space but went wrong.) And was quick to assist you in legally obtaining documentation. Not at all a ploy to spend time with you and make sure you were okay for his protoge.

You do find yourself able to re enter computers with your quirk, but the usb never manifests again, you come and go, even on Shinsou phone during missions so you can stay discreetly beside him. You try not to think about what might have happened if no one had found you, if it had been someone with a less pure heart than Shinsou. For this reason, you believed firmly in fate. After all, when shinsou designed you, he didn't have an option to choose your personality or demenor, that was all you.

Like you were just waiting for the right person to make you feel alive.

tlou season 2 episode 6 thoughts PART 1

this is in 2 parts bc tumblr hates me? part 2 here

okay i'm gonna lead out the gate and say that I'm really going to be nitpicking and comparing this episode to the game in ways that are certainly not fair but also. that's just my vibe. in the greater context of the show i think this episode makes a lot of sense but also feels like the culmination of all the choices i don't agree with! so, this is probably a bit too much of a hater post but I'm eager to discuss if you'd like. let's get to it.

spoilers for tlou hbo and tlou part ii below

EPISODE 6: THE PRICE

GOOD -the legos are cute i guess. i too would be looking for legos in the apocalypse -seth being a cop is funny and also fitting. -this is mostly actually going to be in the iffy/bad section but in theory joel making the guitar for her is nice (however...we'll return to this) -i was wondering if we'd get a burn backstory (me and the rest of the freaks over on ao3 have written this scene a million times and i never not one single time read one where she pushes herself against a hot pot. we all used bleach! also why the fuck did she do this on her birthday) (i did like that tommy was the one who brought her home though) -is it a bow and arrow? is it water guns? oh ellie honey i wish it was. nice easter egg wish you guys just gave us those things -ellie being a shit about jesse and the sex talk to joel was funny -the space part of the museum looked reallllllly nice, the layout, the diorama, the helmets and capsule etc. -the walkman is nice except that we have not seen it since season 1 so like. way to bring that back! sorry this is the good section. i think the apollo tape and the way she has an immersive daydream was really nice -- one of my favorite parts of the game with that piece of score, too. -dragging eugene's body the same way they drag joel's did make me go jesus christ -but god damn if i don't love little sadie and ecstacy. any chance to hear those damn songs -interesting how joel is getting all of his affairs in order the night before he dies -- maria apologizing and making sure he knows he's family, obviously this scene with ellie which i will get to. i guess i like the tragedy of it? but also it feels a little lazy sorry sorry i know this is the good section -stg he better be strumming helplessly hoping or am i projecting -despite the fact that i have beef with literally everything else i like that we end the episode with her going back to the theater. i wish we had seen her hands shake or some blood or some sort of indication of how she's affected but whatever

IFFY (i want to start this off and say that i think iffy/bad are pretty on par for this episode so get ready for the critical downer vibes) -the cold open. bro. i don't like it. austin 1983 and joel has a deadbeat cop dad. okay! (hiiiii tony dalton, nice to see you outside of the mcu). i just cannot figure out what the fuck the point of this scene is. abuse begest abuse? the cycle of violence? if you have the option to do the worst thing but don't then you're better than the worst thing? framing joel's father as a figure who teaches him to lie, to take pain, to tough it up for the sake of others, also to feel shame? i mean, basically joel is a liar out of necessity, so are we meant to think he's now just a compulsive liar? and this sort of backstory for joel comes too late. he is DEAD. and it's not even about tommy! so what is the point! also. why the fuuuuck does he wear his dad's watch. literally why. why why why why why whyyyyyyy did we make that a throughline. DID I HALLUCINATE THIS YOU GUYS I FEEL CRAZY CAUSE WHY DID THEY DO THIS maybe this should have been in the bad part -two people in the intro was stupid sorry like he's dead HES DEAD -i feel like the physical intimacy of this scene after ellie gets burned and is on painkillers is not earned. a baby girl, a kiss on her head, the embrace. based on every other interaction they have i do not buy that they have any sort of familiarity with each other like this? like, i get that it's nice, but to me it feels like they're square pegs in round holes of father/daughter here -ellie eating the cake with her hands was funny but again with this immaturity my GOD -pedro was not kidding when he said he can't sing! nbd but also those did not look like his hands lol -when he went i understand about her arm was he like. i get why you'd hurt yourself? i get why you want to hide it? are we talking about self harm? what are we talking about -i am selfish and i miss the dinosaur part of the museum, okay? i miss it. i miss the dialogue, i miss the way ellie learns things, i miss it -ellie not rattling off space facts...we know she knows them. she said some to dina last episode! my continued beef with the way ellie is written -- impulsive, uncurious, immature. where is her brain where is her soul why is she BORING AND DUMB. WHERE IS SALLY FUCKING RIDE -the fireflies -- i think that ellie was stopping to look at them? i mean, this is a callback to the first game and also meant to sum up what happens in the latter half of the birthday flashback -- ellie thinking about the fireflies. but like, it was so fast and i feel like this keeps happening. there are short references to things that matter but you won't catch them unless you know what's coming.

FAQ Behind The Curtain

How do you draw so fast?

I'm currently double majoring in Animation and Creative Writing. I'm built different and also just, not trying very hard on most of these drawings. Drawing fast is kind of the backbone of animation and I've noticed coloring everything makes most people assume whatever line quality or level of finish on the outlines is a stylistic choice rather than laziness. What program do you use? I used Clip Studio Paint until about #021 when I picked up after haitus and used Procreate out of comfort and convenience. Do you use stock backgrounds or make them as you go? Every time I decide a scene needs a new background I draw it out in it's entirety and save it to my collection of backgrounds to use. So yeah, I'm not redrawing the background every single time it appears, I'm basically building out the meteor one room at a time in hopes of one day not having to draw backgrounds anymore. Where do you get the space photos? NASA's Hubble Space Telescope team has politely made all of the telescopes published photographs public domain, I imagine as a service to the planet as the intersection between photographers and people able to go that far into space is understandably zero. Font/Handwriting questions I stopped handwriting for most panels as I realized my best handwriting is all caps and it would be a shame if Karkat was the only character anyone could understand. I still use handwritten text for "special speech" which is whispers, and shouting, anything that's supposed to feel or sound radically different from the rest of the yapping. It did take me a while to settle on a font, I found a really good one for Dave that didn't have apostrophes and gave everyone else a typewriter font for a while, until I found the alternate version of the font I used for Dave that had all the special grammar symbols and numbers I could ever need. It's called the Atari font in the actual file but I have no idea if Atari ever actually used this version of it. Does the ask box ever close? When will my question be answered? It doesn't close and I have more questions than I'll probably ever answer. Some are confused about canon, others have had the core idea of their question asked multiple times already and I just didn't feel like collecting them all as screen shots. And some I just don't have answers for. Some get deleted because I don't like the tone, don't get the joke or found a typo particularly difficult to parse. No biggie. Questions will be answered if and when I feel like drawing a comic for it. Some questions are a better starting point for a comic than others, don't take it personally. Can the characters still talk to John and Jade? Can they run into them in the dream bubbles? According to canon, no. According to this blog, also no. Do you take magic anons? No. While I've gotten flimsy on the vlog framing device in order to make a more entertaining comic overall, the truth still remains that anything beyond messages in a digital inbox from some far off unspecified rift in paradox space would have some pretty immersion breaking implications on the setting overall. I know I answered a question offering Dave some clothes but the clothes were not given to him, I used it more as a prompt for him to take the clothes he already had out of the dryer. Is this blog safe for minors? This blog contains canon typical violence and themes, however when it comes to sexual content (the one thing minors absolutely CANNOT legally interact with) this blog is rated T for teen. Think like The Big Bang Theory or How I Met Your Mother. Sex can be implied and a frequent topic of conversation but never occurs on screen. Ultimately it's up to you and maybe your parents to decide if you can handle the blogs contents as you are responsible for curating your own online experience. TLDR if you're old enough to be on tumblr you should be fine.

Pixiiiiiiiiie I think I have sunshine twin fever or something cause they just won't stay off my mind. The way that I NEEEED to have Truman mv! Lixie looking down at me on my knees for him is an absolute danger to feminism. And the way I CRAVE making Han's head tip back like when he tipped back in that chair (and covering his throat in kisses) makes me feel like a Victorian man seeing ankles for the first time. Like the two images keep replaying in my mind‼️‼️‼️(not even gonna talk about HyunChan and their lil ESCAPE mv stunt cause I'm FERAL while simultaneously not functioning properly)

Anyhoozles, I need a sunshine twin date (I'm starting to call unit dates by their names cause throuple date doesn't hit the same)!!! A casual date where I'm putting makeup on them. One at a time, straddling his tummy/waist as the other assists, handing me tools and offering opinions while stealing kisses. Getting made up just to be taken apart>>>>>>>>>

Why? Because Lixie actually enjoyed the ball busting with Ayen, but sweet Innie would rather have his solo at my place. Who better to partner up with than HanJi? Plus, we all had a blast on the last Sunshine date. Gaming, rage room and a movie that ended with lazy but intense sex.

After both their makeup is done it's almost a shame you're about to make it run. The keyword is almost‼️ physical pain aided by mostly sweet words, praise and kisses make them dizzy in the best way. Han's needy little whimpers and moans as he watches Lixx get pulled in to eat you out is music to your ears. When you switch to riding Hannie's face his eyes flutter shut and Lixie groans in the back of his throat and can't resist rubbing and squeezing your thigh, looking up at you with smeared barely there lip tint and cheeks streaked with dried mascara tears, making the highlight stand out. Perfect time to lean over and mark his torso with kisses and bites. Chan will be yelling at him later 😭

LOLLIPOP ANONNNNNNNNNN

I know I'm definitely being needy and cringe but I answered a whole bunch of asks the other day and I don't know if you saw yours, it was the rabbit-fox Ayen one 😖 I answered it first so it might've got lost in the bundle. I'll remember to queue them better next time.

But also, you might just be super busy and not feel like/have the time/energy to be typing out a whole bunch of words.

Also-also in my reply I included something about where are we with hybrids and then realised that the whole ask could've been (and probably was meant to be) read as a hybrid take🤦‍♀️ good god am I smart.

ANYWAYS.

YES.

THE SUNSHINE TWINS.

THE TRUMAN MV.

THIS PARTICULAR CLIP:

and also this one:

help.

Slicked back hair black cat Lixxie has me in such a chokehold I couldn't actually make any gifs of him. Too dangerous. Can't look him in the eyes. He's like some kind of Medusa, except instead of turning me to stone I just become a feral mess. 🙈

At the present time, I cannot approach the Escape mv with anything remotely resembling sanity. Makes me wanna write the werewolf au romace-ish thingy that's been rotting in my google docs since December but that's a chaptered thing and I clearly have commitment issues.

Speaking of feral messes...

BALLBUSTING THE SUNSHINE TWINS?! DOING THEIR MAKE UP ONLY TO MAKE THEM CRY IT OFF?!

You're absolutely right about Ayen. He doesn't want to share his noona time. I feel like he's got a strong possessive streak, all the years of being everyone's sweet maknae have taken their toll, but that's a whole other tangent.

Hannie on the other hand? Hannie LOVES sharing. He wants to worship you, all of you, but he only has one mouth and two hands. So when he hears Ayen reject the idea of a shared session with you, his little quokka ears prick right up and he's practically begging to join in before Ayen's finished speaking.

So yeah, now you've got Hannie AND Lixxie on your bed, looking pretty in with their painted faces and lust blown eyes. I'm thinking about having them shirtless but otherwise still dressed, the tension in their jeans only adding to the intensity while you tease and squeeze their precious parts.

Obviously you'll release them eventually. It's not a proper ball busting without some skin contact. What's the point of slapping if you can't feel that delicious tingly sting?

Once the pants are off you've got to take them one at a time: one hand to hurt, the other to soothe. But of course the other will be watching, throbbing hard and flinching as they wait for their turn.

Who do you think is going to cry first? And is Felix going to start even before you properly touch him? Do they get jealous, or are they just both whiny needy messes who want you so bad but are such good boys they'd never demand anything.

But yes, lots of praise and kisses the whole time. Checking in with the colour system constantly, stroking the hair out of their faces, kissing their cheeks as you squeeze them.

Letting them know they can ravage you, that they can do whatever you want, but they're so eager to please they need you to stay in control. That's when the oral feast starts.

Han's head is messier, burying his face in your pussy like he's trying to drown himself. Felix needs your eyes on him, needs constant eye contact as he delicately licks your clit.

Between the two of them you're in for many, many orgasms.

The real question is, do you let them cum in the end? Obviously, you slapped the jizz out of them earlier, but they're healthy boys and it doesn't take long for them to get hard again. Especially when they're sharing the space between your legs.

You're going to end up with make up all over your thighs.

the story of mandate

I have wrestled with sharing this in detail for many months, both because it is a goofy story and because, well, it is a goofy story.

I went on a protracted hunt for a number of months for the issue of Mandate (a gay pornographic magazine) in which KISS have an article, because Peter's book explicitly states it was the first magazine they ever got an article in (this is actually incorrect, but I wasn't aware of that at the time) and because I could find absolutely nothing online about the writeup itself, and I was very curious. (The text is here, and some rather lazy scans are here, if you are interested.) KISS fandom has a bit more focus on stuff like the guitars and albums (imagine that), and if there is a repository of old KISS articles, I've never found it. I've never even found where anyone posted the full text of Paul's Playgirl article, although that issue used to be easy enough to find.

That, I thought, was the end of it. It's a puff piece, even if the picture of Paul in particular is pretty nice and even if they refer to them as "boys" and their look as "spicy." An offbeat piece of KISStory (incidentally this was not KISS' first or only foray into gay magazines-- Paul, as mentioned, was in Playgirl, which while ostensibly marketed to women, had a majority gay male audience, and KISS was featured in After Dark in July 1974), that I could never unload on ebay with anywhere near the ease or success of, say, the KISS Hello Kitty Beanie Babies.

That was it, until over two years later, when--

I went to a Gene event with my dear friend @elrohare in May 2023. On a whim, I had brought the magazine along with a couple other more traditional things (the RARO and Love Gun albums), trying to decide which of these I should get him to sign for me. @elrohare as anticipated/hoped, encouraged me to get him to sign Mandate.

I was extremely torn. Mostly, though, I was worried he'd take it in a way I didn't mean it, like it was an attempt to embarrass him. I didn't, and don't, think there's anything shameful about them being in the magazine. It is not an indication of their sexuality.

But wouldn't it be neat to have a signature on Mandate, instead of a signature on, say, Rock and Roll Over? At the very least, it probably wasn't something he'd had thrust in his face often, if ever. Probably ever. While Gene is known for being exceptionally friendly regardless (at a price), I thought it might, if he was receptive, start an interesting conversation.

And if not, I had those stupid KISS baseballesque (bubblegum) cards he could sign instead.

The day came and we both were starting to regret what we had decided to do. Cynthia suggested I just turn the magazine straight to the page he was on so that Gene would hopefully ask no questions and simply, blindly, sign. I did exactly that. My nerves were so bad in general that I was shaking and Gene's handler was having to wave his little Gene-hand-puppet (he'd drawn Gene's makeup on his fingers and thumb) to distract me and Cynthia into calming down.

Not only did Gene know exactly what magazine it was, even with it turned to the correct page, he exclaimed "Mandate!" got a big smile on his face, said, "I'm texting Paul right now," stopped the entire meet and greet to text Paul, had me hold up the magazine for him to take a picture, which he then sent to Paul, and simultaneously made and ruined my life right then and there.

"Paul's in this. They thought he was--" and he kind of waved his hand.

"You're in it, too!"

"No, Paul is in it."

"But you're... okay, okay, Paul is in it..." One does not simply argue with Gene Simmons. I tried. "I...if you don't want to sign it I have baseball cards!"

He opened the magazine and then declares it to be sticky.

"It's not sticky..."

He licked his thumb and proceeded to smear it on the pages as he turned them. Slowly. He just kept on going and going and going. Page after page of black and white vintage pornography.

"Okay, where is it?" he said after awhile (apparently, even Gene can eventually tire of seeing naked people).

"Page eight!" I said, very, very, very quickly. Everyone laughed. "And Gene's on page 9!"

Gene did turn to page eight and nine. But instead, he proceeded to deface my copy of Mandate with his artwork. The mostly-naked blonde on the front cover suddenly and incredibly was graced with Paul's 1970's hair and star on his eye. I wailed "Geeeene" in a pretty pathetic squeak.

"Where do you want me to sign?"

"On your picture...." (inside the magazine) (which he did). I think, had I stopped with his signature, I would've preferred he sign it on the cover, by his artwork, but already I had an idea. An awful idea.

Let's call this the Mandate Reunion and leave it at that.

Several months later, immediately after an Ace concert, I found myself in front of Cynthia in line (we had to do this one individually). Ace's entourage gazed at Mandate magazine with great interest and murmuring. They were accustomed to records, posters, comic books. They had not seen it before. I have rarely heard great things about meeting Ace and was anticipating total silence, and Ace to just blindly sign as I'd thought that Gene would.

Ace did not.

Ace took one look at that magazine, recognized it immediately, and looked me dead in the eye, even with the sunglasses.

"That's gay." (His tone was as a statement of fact, not as a judgment/anything derisive.) "Paul is in it."

"You're in it, too. Page nine."

Ace did not acknowledge that he was, in fact, in it.

"Do you really want me to sign this?"

No, Ace, I just brought this to you so you could look at it. You never have seen a picture of yourself before.

"Yes!"

Ace acquiesced, signing by his picture (making sure his signature was larger than Gene's), and was so distracted he forgot to switch pens or ask my name (he will personalize one autograph for you and typically swaps pen colors throughout autographs), though he wished me a safe trip home.

Two out of four. Now I was obligated to try for Peter, who, happily, had deigned to do Mad Monster Atlanta, which would not require me to fly out or book a hotel. Unlike the other adventures, I couldn't do this one with Cynthia and had to fly solo. I had met Peter prior at Creaturesfest and he was incredibly kind to me-- even teased me, gently, for my high, somewhat squeaky voice. I did not think he would object too hard, but was curious. Would he, like Gene and Ace, immediately go to, "That's gay, Paul is in it," and never really admit he was in it, too? Would he have some odd inside information about how Bill had gotten them the magazine space?

None of the above.

Peter looked at that magazine, immediately said, with great interest, "Is that guy on the cover naked?"

"No, no, he's got a rug-thing... he's not naked."

"Who is that, is that David Lee Roth?"

"No, I actually don't know who it is." (Apologies for my less than stellar responses-- I should have, obviously, told him that Gene had been the one to doodle on the front cover-- but I could not believe he was responding like he was responding!)

"He's got a nice ass, though. I've seen all kinds of asses." He continued to talk about asses for a solid bit of time there, looking quite pleased with himself (I think I told him there were lots more in the magazine), though I don't remember what he said exactly.

Peter was so far removed from the gentleman-of-KISS image that, for some reason, Kissfaq enjoys espousing. It's almost like they think not trashing the rest of the band equates to sainthood and erases all memory of hotel romps, threesomes, orgies, and asses. It was incredible. Gigi looked completely and absolutely appalled, but she did manage to ask if I wanted it signed in black (to match the others), and I said yes, ma'am, and she handed him the pen. Then she said that I was "too nice a girl for this [I think she meant to hear this/have the magazine]" and I said, "Oh, I dunno about that, it is my magazine" as I departed.

I guess the real KISStory was the porno the OGs signed along the way.

In summary, I'd like to thank the wonderful @elrohare for aiding and abetting and being a thorough part of both this very ridiculous quest and throughout so many of my KISS misadventures. Something weird always happens with KISS, guaranteed.
