#i'm so Bad at it lol but i am really interested

[kylos-starlight]

So I ran out of tags so I'm posting it here! ITS LONG IM SORRY BUT WHEN SOMEONE ASKS I NEED TO START YAPPING!

You had me under spell right from the start; -> Kylo and Kaden. They're song lyrics from one of mine and kylos main songs but also applies to us and me irl he literally had me right from the start I just didn't know it. Its a long story in which I'd be happy to tell sometime if anyone wanted to know. (But its pretty real)

The Hands of Time; ⌛ -> Cesar and Kaden. Again song lyrics to one of our main songs but it's also a double play because he can literally stop time! :D

Broken to Bonded -> Sackler and Kaden. This has quite a long story behind it as it involves my lore with him, again happy to talk about it if anyone is interested!

Beyond Us; Only Darkness -> Anakin and Kaden. Title of one of our main songs but also give you a glance into our relationship in my bad timeline with him. If you know ani you know why I chose this name for us.

Starbound Companions -> Obi-Wan and Kaden. Well technically this is a name that was around back when I only had him as a friend but something something oops I fell in love but anyways, the name is light and fun! We travel a lot through space! lol

Moonlit Veil -> Revan and Kaden. This name actually has to do with my self-insert if I'm being honest. okay, so the first part is just because I'm a selenophile and love the moon so that in of itself represents me but the veil is because I find it really hard when things get too serious and I downplay or joke or deflect whenever something serious like romantic types of serious gets involved I hide behind a veil so to speak!

Just let me adore you -> Charlie and Kaden. Pretty simple and straight forward. He just wants to adore me! but also because at the start he couldn't really show it well because we were screens apart again if anyone wants to know the lore feel free to asks!!!

Cosmic Malfunction -> Matt(The Radar Technician) and Kaden. We're so fucking clumsy between the two of us.. enough said lmao

Under a Falling Sky -> Mills and Kaden. One of our main songs but also doubles as story telling. Mills and Kaden were visitors (along with their now adopted daughter Koa) on earth 65 million years ago before humans were even a thing and dinosaurs held reign over the planet. We were around and escaped just before the meteor that took out the dinosaurs hit! We were literally under a falling sky!! (also please please please everyone my ship with mills is one of my favourites so if you ever have ANY questions I'm happy to talk about them! its one of my sleeper agent ships haha)

The Sparrow and the Rogue -> Lorenzo and Kaden. kind of self explanatory. Lorenzo is a rogue and meets Kaden, he adored their they don't give a frick attitude and started to call them his little sparrow because it irritated Kaden at first but eventually they came to adore the nickname and would actively get upset if he called them anything else lskdjflds

Those Who Slay Together Stay Together -> Ronnie and Kaden. We have to deal with zombies... I think the name speaks for itself~ hehe

moons and metaphors -> Paterson and Kaden. Again the first part is representing of me and the metaphors are representation of Paterson because he is a poet!!

Chaotic Twinflame -> Phillip and Kaden. We're very much a like in similar ways and we can both been deemed chaotic or hard to be with.

Running in The night With You -> Luke(Ryder) and Kaden. One of my newer ships that I desperately want to talk about more. Basically there is a darkness that makes people vanish (which realy sucks because I'm a huge nyctophile!) and so I am literally running in the night with him and its one of our main songs that ties into our story!!!

Through the noise; we found quiet -> Toby and Kaden. another newer ship of mine that I wouldn't mind talk about either... His life is so chaotic and spontaneous in a way as is my life but in totally different ways. His is literally chaotic, you can see it my chaotic is more inside my head but when we come together.... I can help him slow down physically and he can hush the things running rampant in my mind. So within our respective noises we found a peaceful quiet within each other~

SELFSHIPPERS!! Reblog with your ship name! I’d love to hear about it

Is it a mix of your names, two words that represents you, or maybe just emojis? Bonus points if you share the meaning behind it or how you came up with it! ☆

Hiiiiiii I was thinking about it the other day & I know you talk a lot about like, unlearning purity culture, all the terrible and complicated and strange (in a bad way) versions of sex that you've had, etc.

I've never asked before, I don't think: what do you like, get off to, what turns you on, etc etc.? Any particular bloggers (especially particular posts!) or SWers on here or Instagram that you really like?

I hope you're having a whimsical & sexy time out here <3

omg this is such a lovely question & one i've been turning over in my mind like a hard candy in my mouth since you sent it. (not about sex specifically, just in general) my husband says i'm really good at asserting "negative" boundaries (don't do X) & really bad at recognizing much less expressing positive boundaries (i need Y). this ask made me think about that — it's a lot easier for me to talk about things i wish people would stop doing than things i wish they would do, if that makes sense.

i also definitely get a weird fear of like, bragging or something? (as a fundamentalist kid i had a whole complex about not bragging oh my god) if i talk too much about the sex i'm having that's going well? which is probably not serving me bc i learned so much from other people's discussions of scenes that went well especially outside the like norm of represented dynamics if that makes sense.

all of which is to say i've been trying to give this question the consideration it deserves❣️ here's what i've got:

katherine angel writes that sex is a conversation, & i love to talk. i love the process of it, not in the sense of being scripted but the exact opposite, an uncovering, the act of learning more about someone, figuring out how we fit together.

i genuinely love negotiation, i think it can be a really intimate & connecting experience. i always feel so restored by negotiation "even" when it isn't followed by sex/scene with someone. a couple months ago someone said what we'd done was their new standard for negotiation & i'm still riding that high.

i love giving people gender euphoria! i love when someone says i make them feel butch or when someone tries new pronouns with me. whether it's through language or sexual position or dynamic or more intangible mystical energy shit — look, the secret is, i love making people feel good, it's just an urge that only expresses itself in specific ways, which exist outside most people's ideas of sexual giving, because it isn't physical.

how do i put this — idk if this makes sense, but — i am erotically interested in emotionally bolstering people, which can look a lot of different ways. a lot of the people i dom for feel sated or fulfilled or whatever you want to call it when they can let go of their carefully maintained "outside" persona and just be a mess, physically or emotionally or all around, so i've come to really value & respect that. looove when somebody wants me to make them cry. i think of it as a sort of homebound magic, being like, what can't you be in the world? & then building them the space to be it. Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley in The Color Pynk says Janelle Monaé's music video for "Pynk" built a rest stop for Black femmes; kind of a lofty goal but that's always what it comes back to for me, with art & with sex & with tumblr posting: building a rest stop.

(i feel like a bit of a femme cliché sometimes but whatever lol)

i love being surprised not by content but by feeling, & similarly i love moments when someone tells me they didn't know sex could be like that, that they could feel this way or that someone else could feel this way about them — could get off to their stomach or them fully clothed or whatever else they've been told isn't worthy of erotic interest.

recently a play partner was talking to me about how they've never encountered or heard of someone being genuinely as turned on as i am by watching someone practice their craft — not interrupting them to fuck but the work being the fucking. & i was like that before the pgad, in undergrad i burned alive watching this guy play the violin, but now if we want i can get off just looking. i love to look. & i love the intimacy of someone sharing some dear skill or part of themself for my use & pleasure, whether it's something they're proud of (tying rope; building model kits; assembling furniture) or something that challenges them (a favorite being to hold still).

more broadly i enjoy petplay & dollification & the whole consensual objectification vibe. & i 💖 making decisions for people & telling people what to do. love to give a little task when that's what somebody's into

i haven't been very active on my nsfw tumblr in a while bc i've been too much of a raw nerve & was getting upset by the overwhelming assumptions of domtop/sub bottom in queer & t4t spaces, so i'm pretty out of touch with most people's current content & urls, but i know i've loved @nylonguilt's work for years, & @blushedfemmes has long been the blueprint for high femme, dom bottom posting. oh & i recently discovered @dombottom4subtop! really great compilation of posts there

ty again for the ask❣️ as always would love to hear your thoughts 🫶

[sabreclaws]

Okay, here's what I'm reading tonight. I love miniseries. 4 issues is the perfect, approachable number of issues.

Specifically, this is the Sabretooth (1993) mini.

Victor looking fabulous, as always.

I am bemused by Victor's choice of home. Ngl, the idea of him somehow meeting the neighbors in this area and they just call him "Mister Creed" is kind of funny to me.

At least it's pretty. If a tad on the dramatic side.

Plus, this is the series that has Birdy in it. Who Victor apparently pays to do ... something that will be explained in due time?

(She should meet Cable.)

Again, I'm reading this for previous writer takes on the behind-the-scenes life of Victor Creed. In this iteration, apparently he's definitely a well-paid assassin.

Damn, Victor. Been practicing your high kicks? (Did I already mention that the art is a tad dramatic?)

Unapologetic spoilers lie ahead

Apparently Victor is paying Birdy for all sorts of things, including the already-seen bodyguard services, therapeutic massages...

... and digging around inside his head ...

... but he does not seem to be particularly respectful. Shall we say.

Including a muzzled and manacled child version of Victor dug up from his memories.

Again, Victor is not being nice to Birdy here. Punches her, etc.

Victor, I have some series questions about your decor.

But the way he treats Birdy might have something to do with the fact she immediately double-crosses him. While dressed in a towel and nothing else.

I'm not sure if this was the first time the comics went into Victor's childhood trauma, but this sure is a doozy of a take on it, regardless. Pretty sure that's a naked child in a pool of his own filth.

Then there's a little torture, some medical horror, a dramatic asshole who calls himself Tribune...

Oh, the drama.

So they turn Victor loose, and he immediately heads back to his house, where for some reason Birdy didn't hightail it the instant Victor was abducted. I am seriously questioning the writing in this mini.

So he catches her ... and then doesn't kill her. Because that would be bad for whatever the writer has planned and not for any reason I can discern from the plot. I am seriously unimpressed with this writer so far.

We do get a bit more of the worst of Victor's backstory though.

And he tracks down Mystique, which isn't even that interesting, and she says...

oh, the intrigue

oh they wouldn't....

Damn it. They would.

Yes, yes, yes, enjoy your banter boys, because Mystique is about to ruin Victor's day

Aaaaand then they go on a double-date

And apparently this is a tie-required establishment and they whipped out one for Victor to put on over the catsuit? I hate this.

Anyway, there's a bunch of past stuff.

And then Mystique drops the big bombshell.

You know what? Having seen this horror show of a comic, I am now completely unsurprised that this is what created Graydon Creed.

Anyway, Victor goes to track him down.

If I haven't already shown you enough for you to get the idea, trust me that the dialogue in this is atrocious and laughable. I'm at my image limit, or I would should you the panel, but "Sabretooth will never get past a combined battle team of your hungry bankers!" is just ... so bad.

lol, okay, except for this line

And then Birdy pulls up some of Graydon's memories too.

Do you ... just keep making up words? That are stupid? Mr. Writer, have you ever met a bond trader? I mean, sure, this was before the Internet really took off, but that is not a profession I would ever call "feral." And Mystique? Really?? That was the best occupation you could come up with?? Seriously??

And then Birdie conveniently steps too close and Graydon kills her, at which point ... Victor just lets him go? Because this is a man (as written in this book) that would give a shit about blood kin?

So in conclusion:

I am so confused by this entire comic.

Fairly important creation or reinforcement of Victor's terrible childhood.

The writing is bad.

From everything I had heard about Birdy and Victor's relationship in fandom, I had expected something a little ... sweeter? Instead I got bad writing and boss-on-employee violence. (But it definitely explains that one page in Sabretooth (2022).

Actually, reading this comic somehow makes Sabretooth (2022) and Sabretooth & the Exiles have more context.

Did I mention the writing is bad?

I don't just mean the dialogue, although that is atrocious. I mean that cause-and-effect were unbelievable, people knew details they shouldn't be able to know, people make decisions that made no sense for them because the writer needed them to be in a particular place to hold up his house of cards of a plot.

Also, lots of girls lounge around suggestively with very little clothing on. I'm not impressed.

Graydon Creed gets to live (boo).

Victor is a bastard from start to finish (but a very pretty one).

Logan was used as a convenient plot device and then instantly ignored.

Same for Mystique.

I preferred Sabretooth: Mary Shelley Overdrive (2002) about 10 times more than this.

Now, if you like this? Power to you, you do you, enjoy it. But I do not.

I’m convinced that even if Jiang Cheng ended up dying and getting brought back as a fierce corpse, OP would just say “hey, pookie bear Wei Wuxian brought him back at least! He’d be rotting in a depression spiral if they didn’t kill him!”

sorry, anon from before, two thoughts and then I'm DONE I promise, one of MY grievances is that antis have weird takes that would be fun if they finished the thought instead of killing it with 'and that's why the protagonist is good and the antagonist is bad' like. be brave! be interesting! like yeah, actually, "JC comes back as a fierce corpse and WWX and wq are so horrified that they go into denial about it like no, this is fine, we can make this work, nobody get upset" would actually be a very fun and fucked up au.

my second, spicier take is that people make fun of 'female-coded male characters' but "family member and doctor make medical decisions for [character] without their knowledge or permission and this is fine -- [character] should be grateful, in fact!" is something you'd hear from the antagonist in like, the yellow wallpaper. I think canon is less misogynistic than that -- I think wwx and wq are implied to understand that they're violating a boundary and it's reasonable to assume that the person they're operating on would be upset -- but it would be fun to see the horror AU where they're completely upfront right after the surgery because they didn't do anything wrong and only a crazy person would be upset.

I am sorry I didn’t see this ask in my notes until today!!!

No but fr even Jiang cheng somehow died horribly during that core transfer, there still would’ve been someone crawling out of the woodwork to say “oh but my baby did his best, it’s not like jc would have amounted to much anyway🥺” and that gets me.

Tbh the golden core thing actually made me like wwx and wq more because that morally grey action really humanised him to me. Wen Qing didn’t do it out of kindness, she did it because she cared about wwx and felt like she owed him a great debt. Another complicated decision!

What makes the transfer interesting in the first place is the moral dilemma and the fact that he was desperate to fix things both because he couldn’t bear to see jc so broken and because he felt crushingly guilty about the fall of lotus pier! It’s that desperation to somehow make things right and save jc that drove him imo, and isn’t that what he says in the book as well? That he couldn’t bear to see jc like that and that he did everything in his power to find a solution?

Like you said, idk why people try so hard to justify their actions when they literally don’t have to? How about we appreciate the character and his not-so-perfect actions instead of moral panicking lol

And the misogyny thing!!! All I hear is “Oh, why would silly Jiang Cheng know what’s good for him, he’s too emotional!” It’s giving 1950s lobotomisation.

” What gets me isn’t even the fact that they did the surgery or that it was bad, it’s the fact that antis say it was a morally correct decision! I cannot believe some people unironically think the concept of basic bodily autonomy is selfish pls-

As for the horror AU, that would honestly be diabolical and I’m currently thinking of all the ways in which Jiang cheng would react to it. The idea of a wwx that’s even more unhinged than in canon frantically explaining what he did to jc like “see! Shidi, I fixed everything for you, I’ve fulfilled my debt and I’ve fixed you and it’s all gonna be okay :DDDDD” and jc just staring at him in absolute horror really is such a concept, I need more of it.

and btw I love when people rant at me, so never say sorry for that!!

#uchiha madara#uchiha obito#senju hashirama#my experience about Japan is just from 2 year high school Japanese lesson#so yeah so sorry I am admittedly clueless about Japanese culture#also my “bad actor” statement is also an overstatement joke#Obito did his best and his Madara persona is so menacing#I still think that Madara is not a Tsundere tho#except his shy bladder and when he called Hashirama as his enemy on the river#but then again his dad and lil bro PLUS Hashirama's dad and lil bro were present#I don't think he can display his high opinion toward Hashirama any clearer#while expressing zero bitterness toward Hashirama despite their history#I think he only had bitterness toward Hashirama on Tobirama or Izuna related#unlike Obito's admiration layered bitterness toward Kakashi is not only because Rin loved Kakashi#again this is just my interpretation#again#Please don't mind me I reblog your post with an essay#op i'm. so sorry for what i've done to your post

dw i've been studying japanese for over a decade now (on and off and only sometimes in classes when available; my knowledge is kinda all over the place lol)

i figured some of what you said was joking, i made a few jokes too (you will in fact not go immediately to hell if you speak impolitely to your teacher. that's not actually true i made that up sorry)

i would agree that madara isn't a tsundere - i usually only see that being said as a joke in fandom, not super seriously (and mostly in english-speaking fandom; from what i've seen of japanese fan content, it's somewhat more popular to have madara (again, in an overexaggerated joking manner) be closer to a yandere).

obito addressing hashirama by his title isn't anything strange for the role he's playing, but as you said (and as i found while looking for raws of the volumes i don't own last time), the real madara pretty much only ever calls him hashirama. i can't vouch for what the raw of that panel says bc i don't own that volume and i couldn't find a pic of that page specifically online (i tried tho i spent like an hour hunting for it before giving up DX)

WAIT NO I FOUND IT HOLY SHIT THAT TOOK FUCKING FOREVER

unsurprisingly, it's pretty similar to the english version. but again, that's pretty par for the course. concerning the tobito panel, that's also in one of the volumes i don't have (i'm missing most of the swirly mask tobi volumes actually, it's very sad - he pops up very briefly in volume 45, but the only shippuden volume i have before that one is 37 which is before tobi is relevant enough to be listed as a main character, and like the majority of the naruto volumes i own they're in english bc i got them from my brother after he lost interest instead of buying them at kinokuniya like i do now lol), and this time i really couldn't find the image on the internet. so it's a mystery until i get that volume, unless someone else has the raw.

i actually have my own theory about kishimoto's original plan for the character of tobi (tho i will firmly state that it's been clear that obito was involved since volume 43 which is the first time we really get a glimpse of tobito's face) but i'm going to stop now bc i've been typing for two hours and it's lunch time and i'm hungry so sorry for anything i didn't address but if i don't eat food soon i'm going to explode and none of you have giant snakes to sacrifice to protect yourselves ok bye

im so mad we didnt get to see madara!obito interact with hashirama

obito absolutely fucking dedicated to his roles having to do that weird fight flirt eye fuck thing with the dude his like great great grandpa spent months talking about in that cave:

The World Ends with Rain or smth like that

Twewy kids as a bunch of slugcats! yay

Also, additional iterator!Joshua concept thing, because of course I had to give it a try too

[halcyon-deluxe]

what do you value most in someone?

At *least* a 2x resistance to ground type attacks. My last partner died due to a 4x weakness to earthquake and it gave me SUCH an ick :/ likeeeee I haaaaate it when my partner gets one-shot by earthquake spammers. its such a turn off.

[icewindandboringhorror]

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

I'm reading poetry at 1 am and spiraling over like 45 emotions at once, which is how poetry was meant to be enjoyed, I think

having played a decent amount of bg3 now i can say with absolute certainty that i'm going to durgetash hell

[piratadelamor]

its a bit weird that i know both of my boyfriend's exes personally and even weirder that we all look like each other because he really has a type and there's the fact that his first ex shows up all the time on my instagram and his second ex is weirdly obsessed with trying to keep contact with him even though she was the one who left him for someone else (on december 23rd !!) and she stalked me on ig and she's friends with my roommate and like. this is my first time not being my partner's first gf so it's my first time dealing with ex gfs and it's all just super weird to me

[on-sinkingships]

y'all, I am so sorry that the new stranger skin chapter is taking a while. I'm going into my final semester of university, and it's going to be pretty stressful, so things may be a bit more erratic for the next few months. I love and care about this story so much, and it will get finished, but I think it's going to be a bit slow for a minute.

[ebi-hime]

Rare text post without any VN screenshots but It makes me very happy when people show an interest in My Boys hehe ♡ Yuel and Tavi are very important characters to me, so it's reassuring to know the stuff I write about them isn't wholly self-indulgent (even though it is) and a few other people also like them! The stuff I write about My Boys doesn't have a big audience, and I've received some pretty Unpleasant comments about them over the last couple of years (though not as many as I expected haha), but! I love them a lot, so I'll keep writing about them! 💪 I'd probably keep writing about them even if there was zero external interest, because they soothe my heart, but the nice comments I receive about them really do make my day! I'll keep working hard to showcase just how cute my boys are!!! And I'll probably torture them a lot too, because that's also fun!!!

[camellia-thea]

initially this post had some commentary about interests right now. and then it turned into a ramble about personal healing in the tags. so the interest post is going separately.
