TLDR: I fucking despise ship art and fanfics that infantilize Orion Pax / Optimus Prime

Okay so I just wanna put my thoughts out here right now because I've not seen many people talk about it and it honestly bothers me a lot...

So, it's no secret that I ship MegOp and stuff right? I like and have reblogged a bunch of art of them before and I will keep doing so, but something about how this place (or more certain parts of the fandom) portray the ship gives me major icks and I fucking hate it so much

Detailed thoughts under cut ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Case in point, a massive part of the TFP fanbase likes to ship Orion and Megatronus and I get that, I get why people like shipping those two but it's the WAY they do it. A lot, not all, but most of the fanart surrounding Orion Pax and Megatronus is him being like the smaller and more submissive one of the relationship which fine, whatever, but most people just end up drawing him REALLY small like ik he's shorter than Megs who was a gladiator and all that and he was an archivist but jesus christ... Aside the size which is weird and all but it's really all about the rampant infantilization of the guy. When they remove all agency from the character and act like Orion is gonna fucking combust the moment someone confronts him or tries to fight him like no... I've not read Exodus but I don't think Orion being a nerdy book guy is gonna make him THAT soft, this is still the same mech who became PRIME like cmon

I don't know the exact words for it other than "infantilization" but like y'know what I mean right?? I'm not gonna name blogs but there's this one AU on here where Orion is blind and it has this cutesy artstyle which is fine but I vividly remember reading a comic on that AU where some thugs confront Orion and he's all like sobbing and shit and has to be saved by someone and it's... so you made him disabled and also a crybaby and absolutely incapable of anything??? Does that NOT give you an ick of sorts or seem weird??? God I don't even know anymore because I've seen many people seem to like that so I'm just scared I'm the weird one and wrong for this lmfao... Maybe there's smthn im not getting, you tell me

Anyways this post is getting real long, but this kind of "infantilization" also applies to certain fanarts of TFA MegOp, I always thought the ship was bordering on kind of strange (since TFA Optimus is like the equivalent of some 20-something college dropout and Megatron is implied to have been doing the war stuff way way way back like Ratchet's time) but I won't get into that, I just don't ship that certain brand of the characters myself, but it's fine, do what you want with it. Just know that I have seen art of those two where they treat TFA Optimus as this sort of incapable cutesy uwu boy (aaaghh)

So yeah.... hahahaha stop infantilizing characters and taking a ship where they're both grown ass big men and like straight up turning the other one into some weird ass incapable version of the character that lacks any and all agency and honestly bordering on being really icky as fuck, thank you, idc if you make Optimus the bottom or whatever, that's not what I mean, cya ✌️

Okay so this rant is gonna be mildly nsfw. So if you are a minor DONT LOOK! OKAY?! GET OUT! I DONT WANT MINORS TO LOOK AT THIS SHIT!!!! THIS IS FOR 18+ ONLY!

Im gonna be talking about an issue when it comes to a subset of people in the Splatoon community. So yeah, MINORS! LEAVE!!!!!

Go on... leave....

Imma be real, a fair amount of the straight male fans in the Splatoon community who constantly sexualise all the women in the series need to realize that characters like Marina and Shiver would never get with you and you wouldn't be able to handle them either. You would not be able to handle Marina's hour long autistic rambles about excavators and machinery, and if you judged her for her interests because your pp is getting soft listening to her, she would despise you and not have sex with a random dude like you. She is not eye candy. She is not some slab of meat to go "AWOOOGGA HUMNA HUMNA HUMNA!" at. She's a dorky girl who has nerdy interests and is canonically a lesbian, not some bimbo to get looked at like a toy for your eyeballs. Sorry to burst your bubble.

You would probably HATE Shiver if you met her, i guarantee it. Marie as well, you would probably find her annoying and not vibe with her snarky personality despite you wanting to do bad things to her because you only see her as flesh for your pleasure. Marie hates and makes fun of ""fans"" like you. Sorry to tell ya. If you see Marie as some dommy mommy then I'm gonna have to ask you to get the fuck out of my sight dude. If you sexualise Callie too and make her some weird lustful woman who wants sex all the time, I will fucking murder you idc.

You would crumble to dust and get rejected SOOOOO fast by women who look and act like them. I'm telling you. Or they would run away from you so fast because you smell terrible.

Start thinking with your head and not the small head downstairs.

Listen, we get it, they are attractive, but don't make it your whole personality and say how much you wanna f them and use nsfw art of them in thumbnails and discussions (you can figure out which youtuber I'm talking about here...)

I say that stuff as a joke at 1am at night and 99.9% of the time i talk about how wonderful their personalities and stories are. I ain't going "ZAMN!!!" over these characters because I'm not THAT big of a loser.

Marina being so passionate and giddy about her interests is one of the reasons why i like her so much. Marie being so relatable is why i like her, Shiver being such a silly girlfailure who's funny is why i like her, not because of their hips ffs. That's like the last thing on my mind when i think about these amazing characters.

As a straight male myself, you guys gotta do better, i don't wanna be grouped up with the rest of you horny lot that needs some fresh air. I'm not talking about all heterosexual men in the fanbase obviously, i'm not that kind of person where i hate on an entire group of people and I go "those friggen straights ruined the series!!!" Like the people who say that are half true but not every straight guy in the community is a horny lustful mess you know? And i am a straight guy myself but... I hate getting piled up with the creepy fans who lust over these women. Like we don't wanna hear you thirst over them and if you are gonna say something a bit more nsfw AT LEAST BE CREATIVE WITH IT! OR BE REALLY PATHETIC ABOUT IT TO WHERE IT'S FUNNY!

It's also so telling on how you probably treat women as well. I wouldn't be surprised if you have never been close to a woman, friendship or relationship wise. Sex and looks ain't all the end all be all of relationships, if you can't understand that then good luck finding a girl who will actually like you and even think about doing it with you.

I've never been in a relationship before AND EVEN I KNOW THAT!!!!! HOW SAD IS THAT?! The single and alone dude understands relationships better than you.

Be better and go outside for a change. Get a hobby, or something idfk.

[heroesvow]

I need to get my thoughts out in the open, so here are my opinions if certain former companions / advisors are gonna pop up in DA4. I could be talking out of my ass here, so don't take any of this 100% seriously I have no idea how the story is gonna go and I could be surprised.

100% Confirmed - Solas ( Duh ) - Varric - Morrigan ( Still riding this high tbh ) - The Inquisitor ( Who knows what their role will be, but we get to customize them when we make our Rook so I'm excited to make my Inkys look tired and hot asf )

80% chance because it just makes SENSE. - Dorian ( We're in Tevinter, he's incredibly popular, and hopefully Maevaris pops up as well because she deserves to finally appear physically in a game. ) - Isabela ( This is my just me hoping tbh, but we're traveling to different places so her ship being our mode for transportation just makes sense to me. She showed up in concept art, and she's also dearly beloved by the fanbase. Bring her back ! )

50% chance because of locations, or possible small one scene moments for fun. - Zevran ( Antivan Crows baby ) - Leliana, Cassandra and Vivienne. ( If the divine appears in a single scene we'll probably get them. I can see Cass and Leliana appearing with the Inquisitor as well, but I don't think any of them will have a LARGE role in the story. ) - Alistair ( If he's a Grey Warden and is still kicking he might show up at Weisshaupt, if he's King he could also make a small cameo appearance during a single scene. Anora as well. He's my all time favorite so I of course want him to show up in at least ONE scene. ) - Blackwall, Loghain, Carver, Bethany ( Grey Wardens, they can show up at Weisshaupt. The Hawke twins are obviously determinant, but it'd be really nice to see them at least once. ) - Cole ( His connection to Solas gives me hope but who knows. ) - Sten ( We'll definitely see the Qunari and deal with them during some story beats. He's the current Arishok, it just makes sense. ) - Fenris ( His large role in the comics and him currently being in the areas from the game gives me hope. Gideon said he isn't in the game, but Claudia also said the same thing so who knows? ) - Shale ( Was in this area last we checked! Could show up! I hope so because Shale is deadass the funniest companion across the three games idc )

30% drinking copium kool aid. - Josephine ( Her appearing in one scene would be so nice, but she's not as popular as other characters so I don't have high hopes. ) - Iron Bull ( The Chargers could appear! But Freddie Prince Jr has said BioWare has no interest in him as a voice actor?? But who knows what their drama is really about. ) - Sera ( Could happen. No reason why she couldn't. ) - Merrill ( Her desire to bring back elven culture would be interesting to see in this story, but I personally don't think BioWare would consider her. I love her though and I would have her in this game in an instant if it was up to me. )

10% not ruling them out, but it's very unlikely. - The Warden ( I have given up hope babes. ) - Anders ( BioWare seems to REALLY dislike him so I don't see it happening. ) - Oghren ( I don't want him and if they choose to bring him back over others I might take drastic measures. ) - Hawke ( Maybe a voice cameo?? We know the person left in the fade isn't being addressed in this game, but if they weren't left behind maybe we'll get something lol )

0% chance these characters show up. - Aveline ( We're probably not going to Kirkwall and she has no reason to not be there. ) - Sebastian ( See Aveline, but swap Kirkwall with Starkhaven ) - Wynne ( She's dead. ) - Cullen ( LMAO he will never physically appear in this series again and I am fine with that. I love Cullen, but his VA needs to fuck off this planet ASAP. He'll probably get a mention by the Inquisitor if he was romanced and that will be it. )

FNAF rant-

I’m so tired of Scott being so ambiguous. Idc what people say, it’s not fun. He’s done this for 10 years and it’s gotten us basically nowhere.

I don’t think the books are canon, but Scott should tell his fanbase if they are. The books have been around since 2016 and still no 100% answer. Especially with what he’s said recently.

Most of the stuff that fans classify as “canon” are just theories hat built up over time. Some ARE confirmed and canon, but most aren’t. Which is why there’s so much debate over timelines and theories

Games can be ambiguous but also tell a really good story if you look (portal, undertale, etc), but the way scott tells the story is getting boring and annoying.

If Scott is scared of how FNAF fans will react, then just change it. He’s already done that before with dream theory in FNAF 4. Even if he doesn’t, just do whatever you want, 50% of the fandom doesn’t like him anyway so who cares anymore.

What’s the end goal of FNAF? FNAF is gonna end someday, so what the fuck is gonna go on then? Another 10 years till? Guess we’ll see the end in 2035 when William is back as a real life bunny who gets adopted by the secret child of that girl with the toy animatronics in FNAF 4 8-bit games.

This isn’t really that serious, but I’m just tired. I’ve been a fan since 2014 and I genuinely just want something, anything. Something small.

I’m too old to care this much about a kids game oh lord. Rant over.

I am so annoyed at vtuber fans on twitter saying they wanting to see holoEN girls collab with starsEN boys just to own le incel gachikoi/unicorns, like sorry u guys are as much as cringe like those unicorns that seethe at male collab!

if starsEN boys are as big as holoEN at least they have defender but clearly they're not and the imbalance is so big, because the boys will get so much f*cking hate over nothing, because somehow western holofans is deranged than Japanese one lol.

idc abt the meltdown the girls had, they have a lot of fans already but the boys had to tiptoe & has small fanbase lol

you want to see them collab by their OWN and because they're interested to collab together, not because ''oh I want them to own this part of lunatic fans that will not hesitate harrassing the boys nonstop"

''but JP stars can collab with JP holo girls easily" yeah but with usual suspect that are fine w/ male collabs and also surprisingly, most japanese fans tend to be ambivalent or neutral with holostars, unlike western holo fans lol. I never forget during Tempus2 and Armis debut they get so much relentless hate, not even Trinero and Uproar got so much hate in Japan by japanese holo fans.

Funny I don't even watch holopro EN, but it amazes me how much unhinged the EN fans are. Maybe some holoJP purist are right that it's a mistake to bring holo into the English sphere.

Read the damn article before you pretend this is me just auding Trump in getting reelected

Democrats are stopping their own candidate from getting elected ny refusing to put up someone other than Biden/someone equally unfit and racist

The thing is, the difference between Trump and Biden is their fanbase, their image. Apart from a few Bandaids and otherwise empty promises Biden does indeed continue the same politics as Trump or let's things running undisturbed.

So whether you vote blue no matter who or whatever I don't give a fuck.

But what I do give a fuck about it liberals pretending voting Biden is the end all be all of progressive politics and mandatory to prevent 'the Bad™' from happening going forward. Because it isn't stopping anything as far as we can tell from media coverage

In fact, voting third party is an option, nit voting is an option, doing anything is an option. It's probably worth more to give a random houseless person five bucks than vote Biden.

This annoys me greatly because I don't just see USians say this, I see activists and casuals from other countries with similarly corrupt issues spread the same misinformation about the US. And also about their own countries, act the same way.

Having spend a lot of time within my own countries, Germany, activist spaces and being involved I can tell you with certainty that many people have similar attitudes towards our own government. Campaigning and running ads for political parties involved in funding wars, defending police and police murders, etc.

You might have heard about 'der hohe Repräsentant' (lit. the high Representative' but likely not. Because topics like that largely go ignored by not just the media and our fucked up politicians but our fucked up activists and progressives as well.

Leftists here largely hate Palestine, deem any critique of Israel antisemitic.

Heck even small things, like our progressive parties even try to make healthcare and education worse, push for more cars over public transit. Shit like that

And then hearing people pretend they're a solution on their own, that just voting for them is sufficient. I can't. And they'll attack you for criticizing these parties, which even a supporter who believes in a lesser evil should do, has to do.

Because if you don't critique them and discourage critique (often disingenuously framed as helping the opposing parties, the myth of leftists infighting aiding the right more than the left. A liberal lie I might say), you expose yourself for how you don't send letters, don't go to protests, are in no way involved in anything. You just want their hateful and dangerous politics to continue because they protect your cozy life in a rich white 'western' country.

I think that sucks and I want you to rethink your positions. Because I believe with some tiny bit of introspection you'll realize that this is a messed up thing for you to advocate for.

Again, for the people in the back, if you genuinely believe in the lesser evil that's fine idc even if I don't, but you can't assure yourself you've done enough and you should at the very least stop people from leveraging necessary criticism against politicians.

If you keep defending Biden I'll keep thinking you consider murdering brown* people abroad and invading and destroying their countries a necessary evil to stop... *checks notes* stop Trump from starting wars and enacting racist policies?

Random Rant??

so I was really on track to just stay positive today but i just cannot....

context : I found a tik tok of a clip from Nichomaki's live reacting to enhypen's criminal love. An engene&lune in the comment section said &Team voice would suit the song and a cover would be nice. I saw a lot of supportive comments but then the toxic engenes start flooding in. In summary, they were just practically trying to say that Enha's vocals are better than &Team (aka favoritism)

See as harmless and peaceful as it sounded, it wasn't. And no this isn't me being overdramatic or favoritism from my side. I love all the boys equally truly. But the way they were trying so damn hard to BASH &Team's vocal quality just to make their own group and themselves feel superior is really disgusting. Like we know how brilliant Enha's vocals are, but attacking another group and the fanbase was another level.

I started replying to few nasty comments at one point, the ones that go so far. And this one nasty ass engene shamelessly have the audacity to reply to me and say "Oh yea Enha's B-sides are way better than &Team's overall vocal. Their vocal sucks." - honestly to that person - do you hear yourself right now? You are comparing a 3 year old kpop group to a 1 year old rookie kpop group that just debuted last year. And you have the audacity to compare the quality and amount of tracks and sides they release. Disgusting.

Another thing I wanna point out - It's true each idol will differ on fields they're best at as well as groups which mainly is because of the difference in experience and time. And I think people need to get that in their heads. They all became 'idols' for a reason. Because they can sing and dance better than any local humans out there and can do both without collapsing on stage. These toxic shits don't even know the amount of stress and pain each idol/group goes through yet they're here so damn ready, doing nothing but sitting at home and binging on reality shows, and now you wanna bash and attack small growing groups. Disgraceful.

Apparently the fight stopped after a while between me and the person because I basically just told them I have no time or energy to be in an argument with a deluded person where this would lead absolutely nowhere. And the notifications pretty much went dead. And then that person tagged me - and that one act they did, straight up i just blocked them.

They tagged me in a jungwon edit video and then wrote "jungwon >>>>>>>>> &Team". I'm not here to bash jungwon or Enhypen, i truly love them, they're literally the group i stanned before &Team formed. And the problem wasn't the edit or i'm not butt-hurt about the comment, but it's the fact that even after i left the argument and moved on, they still was raring to go. The fact that we were done with this nonsense crap-talk, and they had the audacity to tag me back and try so hard to trigger me. And ykw, congrats to the person cuz at that point, i just blocked them. I'm not trynna have someone like that bugging my ass on the notification bar, they can go cry in a ditch idc.

Conclusion : Ik i'm coming off really aggressive here - but forgive me cuz i just cannot with toxic engenes. Enhypen and &Team are practically supposed to be like brother groups. They share the same lore, same storyline, even appear in each other's mvs, collabs, the past survival show contestants, the bonds - Everything. Yet its either twitter or tik tok each day, it's not even any other group stans atp, it's literally mostly just engenes. Like it is unbelieveable, how the toxic part of the enha fanbase, literally wants to target and stir discord between the two bonded groups and each other's fanbases.

A lot of engenes are also the ones currently apart of the Lune community including me and i just cannot imagine the shame and embarrassment and absolute disappointment, we must have to feel witnessing all this crap that our same old fanbase is at.

Toxic engenes just need to fucking stop. You guys are so full of yourselves. You guys even have the audacity to call normal engenes CRAZY just because they weren't in your damn toxic train.

I understand favoritism, thats something most people have, I can literally sit here and say Niki was my first love but I favoritize K over him just bc it's my liking. But that doesn't mean I'm going to go attack Niki. You can favoritize someone and love someone without trying to bash and launch at everyone else that isn't THE PERSON. It's crazy how these same toxic engenes have to make &Team and Lune inferior just soo they could feel superior

And ykw the worst thing is - it's these same toxic engenes that make other normal engenes like us want to quit the entire fanbase and these toxic sewage cans are the same reason that the engene fandom has a shit reputation.

irl !

qiqi crouches on the pavement outside, one hand absently tracing the cracks in the stone ground with the other raised to the sky to block her pale face from the sun's harsh glare. xiao, meanwhile, is leaning against the fence, arms crossed over his torso as he gazes at the small girl to ensure she's alright. "hey qiqi," he begins, tilting his head to gauge her reaction, "do you remember that person i told you about?" "um..." qiqi scrunches up her face as if digging about in her memories to recall, "is it that girl you said was really pretty and fun? qiqi thinks her name is y/n." xiao's face turns redder than a tomato, but he doesn't deny anything, "you're right. she's coming over today." "qiqi wants to meet her," qiqi states, but then doesn't continue as her attention is diverted by a butterfly flying around her. xiao glances at his watch, "at this rate, you probably will. baizhu's late, as usual." "dr baizhu... qiqi doesn't remember his face," qiqi returns to trailing her finger along the lines of the ground.

suddenly, xiao hears footsteps and he looks up, only to be met with the sight of you right in front of him! "hey, xiao!" you beam excitedly, clasping your hands behind your back as you grin at him. both xiao's brain and his heart nearly explode simultaneously because; 1) you look way too adorable in your outfit - sure, it's just casual clothes, but still, how do you always manage to look stunning?! and 2) he cannot believe that you actually came and didn't bail on him, and you're standing here outside his house! and you're going to stay here for the night! xiao doesn't know how he's going to survive the rest of the day without getting a heart attack.

"oh, y/n! hi," he says, hoping neither his shyness nor his flusteredness show on his expression. however, before he can say anything else, he's interrupted by qiqi popping up between the two of you. "oh. you are really pretty," the young girl states bluntly as she looks up at you. heat rushes to your face at the innocent compliment, but then you realise something odd and query, "thank you! but wait, you know who i am?" "yes," qiqi states, the smallest hint of a smile curving her lips, "xiao 哥哥 talks about you a lot-" "hahaha qiqi, baizhu's here! it's time for you to go home!" without warning, xiao pulls qiqi into an awkward hug, one hand flying to cover her mouth. while you try to hide your laughter, qiqi stares up at him slowly and nods once, her gaze then travelling to the sleek black car which has just driven up.

the window rolls down, and an unknown man with a pet snake coiled around his neck calls out, "sorry for being late, xiao! qiqi, hop in." he glances at you, and his eyes narrow, almost like a predator gazing at his prey, "now who are you?" "i'm y/n, xiao's genmate in genshin," you reply, perceiving him to be harmless. but then xiao steps in front of you and growls, "leave her alone, baizhu. she doesn't want your dumb services." baizhu feigns an affronted expression, "how mean! i'm merely a doctor." "yeah, a shady one," xiao mutters under his breath as he helps qiqi buckle her seatbelt. "you wound me, xiao," baizhu smirks, to which xiao answers, "good," and shuts the door. before baizhu drives away, qiqi peers up through the window and gives the two of you a small wave, "byebye, xiao 哥哥. byebye, y/n." you wave back at her, internally freaking out over how adorable she is, "byebye!"

as soon as the car disappears into the distance, you bump your hip against xiao's, "so, xiao, care to tell me what you've talked about me? it's apparently a lot~." xiao's face flushes, and he really hopes you think it's because of the summer sun, "let's just go inside, y/n." with a happy giggle, you decide to stop teasing xiao and follow him into his house.

───────────────

"holy shoot xiao, your setup is so cool!" you gush in awe as you step into xiao's 'streaming room'. it's lit by led lights, which are currently set to a dark teal greenish shade, mimicking the highlights in xiao's hair. there's a small fridge in the corner of the room, and when xiao pads over to open it and take out a drink for the two of you, you realise it's filled almost entirely with energy drinks. "is that even healthy...?" you accidentally say out loud, prompting xiao to turn back to you and ask, "is what healthy?" "ah! nothing!" you panic, "just the sheer amount of energy drinks in there." xiao seems to be much more in his element in his familiar streaming room, and his features relax into a soft smile as he tosses you a can, "don't worry, i don't drink them all the time." "oh, that's good then," you fumble to catch it and reply, feeling as if you're making this ten times more awkward then it should be. archons, transferring online relationships to real life is so much more difficult than it seems.

to break the sudden silence, you quickly ask, "so, who was that little girl out there? i'm going to take a guess and assume you don't have a kid." "no, she's not my daughter!" the tips of xiao's ears turn red, and you stifle a chuckle - it's so easy to fluster him. "her name's qiqi, she's a young girl that i rescued on the street, she was all alone and just claimed she didn't know where her parents were. i couldn't just leave her like that, so i took her in, and later aether told me about his doctor friend baizhu, who's the creep you met outside," xiao leans against his desk, cupping the can of drink in one hand and seeming to drift off into his memories. "he didn't seem like that much of a creep," you shrug, cracking open the can to take a sip. xiao's eyes flash with a trace of an unknown emotion... jealousy, perhaps? then after a moment of contemplation he responds, "yeah, he isn't all bad. after all, he took qiqi under his wing without hesitation."

it's only now that you realise how incredible xiao looks. the afternoon sun filters in through the window, bathing him in a gentle glow, and he seems so at ease compared to the aloof version of him from the online collaborations you've had with him. he's dressed in a simple black hoodie, and wonky black nail polish adorns his nails - you assume qiqi painted them for him. in fact, you barely hear his reply from how captivated you've become in admiring his appearance. only when xiao clears his throat do you snap out of your thoughts, "y/n, you're staring. is there something on my face?" "no, no, no! nothing at all!" you turn away, praying to every deity you know that the flaming heat you can feel on your face isn't obvious to him.

trying to turn the tables, you comment, "don't think i'm letting go of the fact that you talk about me." xiao groans, "oh no." you spin around, having managed to successfully conceal your embarrassment and prance up to him with a playful grin, "i'm so honoured to have the famous xiao praise me!" xiao drags a hand down his face slowly, hiding his expression, "y/n..." "i'm kidding!" you giggle, "but seriously, it's cute that you talk about me. only good things though, i hope." "of course, what else is there to say?" xiao's eyes flick up to yours from how he was attempting to look literally anywhere else in the room. what catches you off guard is the genuineness in his tone, he isn't spewing sleazy compliments to grab your attention, he's saying what he actually thinks, and that makes your heart do several backflips. "well... i talk about you to my friends too," you mumble, and xiao's eyes widen, "really?!" "yeah."

silence blankets the room, and both of you are unwilling to shatter the moment. it's almost as if you want to freeze this second in time, this second where both of you seem so eager to fall in love, yet shy and hesitant too. finally, xiao coughs, "y/n, should i start teaching you how to play val now? you can use the second desktop right beside mine." "sure!" you answer, plopping into the comfy chair next to his - you recognise it from his streams. the excited smile you shoot xiao as you open up the game is almost like an arrow from cupid right through his heart.

───────────────

"ahhh, i'm tired," you lean back in your seat, cracking your knuckles and stretching. when you glance out the window, the sun's already beginning to dip below the horizon, a sign reminding you of how long you and xiao have been playing. you both made dummy accounts to practice, and had a fun afternoon messing around in game, with xiao guiding you through valorant's mechanics and you picking it up as quick as you could. although xiao's aim obviously far outshone yours, you were pretty sure you could be considered a worthy opponent now. "yeah, we should probably stop playing for now," xiao says, looking at you with a concerned gaze. "can i look around?" you ask, ensuring you receive xiao's permission before poking around his stuff. "go ahead, i need to sort out a thumbnail for tomorrow's stream." "yay! if you need any help, you better ask me! don't be a dumbass and try to do it all on your own," you warn, shaking your finger at him. a chuckle escapes his throat, and xiao nods before beginning to scroll through twitter, searching for fanart of the two of you to use as part of the thumbnail.

you hop from the chair, strolling straight towards the shelf at the back of the room. you've seen it briefly during xiao's streams, but due his background always being slightly blurred, you've never been able to make out what's actually on it, and you've also always been quite curious about it. as you scan each rack, you notice each one has something different on it. the first shelf has a bunch of potted succulents and books, the second has a couple of anime character figurines and some dvds- wait, hang on a minute. "xiao?" "mhm?" "is this my debut commemorative voice merch? you know, those voicelines they made us record for our 1 month anniversary." xiao nearly falls off his chair as he spins around faster than the speed of light to face you, "n-no! i mean yes! it is, but i bought everyone's from our generation, just to support you all." you giggle softly, "strange though, i don't see yanfei and hu tao's here. nor your own, which is even weirder." "ah, theirs must be somewhere around here in this mess. and why would i buy my own voicelines? that's just narcissistic." xiao's excuse is completely made up, and it's almost painfully obvious - there's not a hair out of place in his room, you have no clue what mess he's talking about. it's cute though, so you'll let it slide.

just then, something on the third shelf catches your attention, and a mischievous smile graces your features. "xiao?" you call out again, and he turns to reply to you, "yeah?" however, as soon as he faces you, you shoot a bullet at him from the toy nerf gun in your hand, and (un)fortunately, it smacks him right in the face, "gotcha!" xiao is stunned, and he freezes up for a second, causing you to worry you've annoyed him. lucky for you, the next second he laughs softly before smirking at you with gleaming golden eyes, "oh, it is on."

xiao grabs another toy gun from somewhere on his desk and aims it at you, prompting you to squeal and run away. once you're safely outside his room, you stick your tongue out, "you'll never catch me, xiao!" he merely fires off a plastic bullet at you, "yeah right, "and you dart your head around the corner to dodge. as you lean against the wall, you exhale in relief, but then squeeze your eyes shut in mortification - what on earth were you thinking, shooting xiao like that? now he was going to think you were a total child, he was probably playing along just to stop the situation from becoming awkward.

groaning internally, you turn back around the corner, preparing yourself to apologise but then- you smack into something. "ah!" a surprised sound escapes your throat at the same time as you hear a grunt from right above you. you open your eyes slowly, only to be met with xiao's amber irises. both time and your brain seem to freeze as you meet his gaze, and only after a split second which feels like an eternity do you process what happened. the two of you quickly move backwards from your position of bumping into him, and xiao coughs once, trying to dismiss the embarrassing atmosphere. instead of saying anything though, he aims his nerf gun at you and shoots you right in the centre of your torso. with a small, slightly smug smirk adorning his lips, xiao tilts his head, "told you i'd catch you." suddenly, laughter bubbles up from your lips, and you grin at him, "the game isn't over yet, xiao!" with that, you shoot back at him and take off at a dash down the corridor, leaving xiao to pursue you.

perhaps he doesn't think you're that much of a child after all.

groupchat !

irl !

the sound of the bathroom door opening prompts you to switch off your phone and glance upwards from how you were perched on a beanbag on the floor of xiao's bedroom. ever the gentleman, he had encouraged you to shower first, claiming he didn't mind waiting. he was showering right now, or at least he was supposed to be. the sight you're gazing at now seems to prove otherwise.

xiao has stepped out of the bathroom, wearing only a loose pair of black shorts. you blink once, then twice, before realising that no, you aren't hallucinating; xiao is actually shirtless in front of you. your eyes trace up his torso, widening upon noticing his perfectly defined set of abs. no wonder it hurt so much when you crashed into him earlier. a loose white towel is tossed carelessly around his neck, and it provides a stark contrast to the dark green tattoos snaking around his incredibly toned upper arms in an intricate pattern. droplets of water still cling to his jade-streaked hair, framing his face like a picture. his amber eyes glimmer like jewels, and you find yourself wondering what it would be like to get lost in them.

then suddenly, you snap out of your daze and realise how perverted you sound. covering your eyes with your hand, you ask playfully, pretending like your cheeks aren't flaming hot, "xiao, did you mean to give me such a show?" "what?!" from what you can hear, xiao seems to whirl around and remember you're in his room too. "i... i forgot my shirt, that's all," he says quickly, embarrassment filling his tone, "i'm going to change." "mmkay," you reply with a chuckle, peeking through your fingers to see a very flustered xiao rush back into the bathroom and slam the door, "don't make me wait too long!"

───────────────

"no way!" you fold your arms across your chest and pout like a petulant child, frowning at xiao. "i meant that i'll take the sofa, you can have the bed," xiao says confusedly, not understanding why you're upset. "let me take the sofa, i'll feel bad if i'm kicking you out of your own room!" "no," xiao replies promptly and decisively, leaving no room for argument. as a final attempt, you suggest, "then why don't we just share the bed?" xiao fell silent, and you realised the tips of his ears have turned red - archons, he's so cute! "of course, if you don't want to, that's fine as well! i don't mind taking the couch," you add on quickly, not wanting to pressure him into anything he was uncomfortable with. "no!" he speaks up, "i don't mind sharing the bed... if you're alright with it too." a huge grin paints itself across your cheeks, and for xiao, it was almost like seeing sunshine break through the clouds on a rainy day.

and that is how you ended up sharing a bed with the one and only adeptus xiao.

although right now, you're kinda starting to regret it. it's far too difficult to fall asleep when you can feel xiao's warmth beside you, even though there's a thin bolster between you both. "hey xiao?" you ask, the two words breaking the silence. "hm?" "today was really fun!" you turn around to face him, and upon realising he's already facing you, you beam at him. "yeah, it was," xiao murmurs, a small smile curving his lips. he seems to already be half-asleep, and you wonder if this is a consequence of the endurance stream that he pulled yesterday. he probably hasn't slept since then.

"hey xiao?" you ask again, your voice much softer this time, tinged with a hint of hesitation. "mm?" he really is almost asleep now, but for some reason you've just got a huge burst of confidence, so you press on. "would it be okay if i... slept closer to you?" the question escapes your lips in a whisper, and you almost want to cover your face to hide from his reply. but xiao merely opens his golden catlike eyes, heavy with sleepiness, and stares at you for a moment as if weighing his options. then wordlessly, he moves the bolster away and opens his arms to you.

trying to hide your joy from his lack of a rejection, you cuddle closer to him, and his arm wraps around your torso. there's no other way to say it, both of you are actually cuddling now. and you're this close to spontaneously combusting. xiao smells like qingxin petals, you think to yourself absently as he rests his chin on your head. you don't dare move, lest you ruin the peace, but as your eyes slide shut, you murmur softly, "goodnight, xiao. good luck for tomorrow." you're not sure if you've already started dreaming when you feel a shy kiss on the top of your head and a quiet reply, "goodnight, y/n. sweet dreams."

(Okay I'll keep this Short cause I'm annoyed as I had a better written post earlier for this topic but tumblr had an error and all my shit got deleted and I can't be bothered to write it all again as I just don't care all that much anymore) very well then lets continue

"ANDREA IS NOT LIKE AMITY BLIGHT!"

Thank you. I Almost forgot to hear that for the 455th time in this fandom.

Okay let me make things perfectly clear.

If you dont like Andrea. Awesome. I Respect that cause it's your opinion

If you outright hate her and think she should stay a bratty instagram live bitch.

Cool... Sweet...you do you man.

If you're chill and think she's redeemable but not exactly a good person yet.

EVEN BETTER. Completely respect that.

But PLEASE... For the love of lucifer

Don't go to every fucking Mollandrea shipper or Andrea stans looking for small crumbs of content of her and start saying

Idk where that argument even came from and quite frankly idc anymore. I'm just tired of hearing it because

YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT.

Andrea is not Amity.

But that still doesn't stop Andrea from following a path of growth in her life and becoming a more open minded and caring person. Many characters have gone down that path of growth and redemption way before Amity was even written into existence. Or did yall really think that Amity was the first ever character to get a redemption arc? And therefore every character who makes that positive change in their life must be like Amity? Nah fam characters have had and will continue to have redemption arcs way after Amity has completed her story.

Now the other argument I've seen is Mollandrea is taking away attention from Molliby.

(in general. I don't give a flying cockadoodle pickle who Molly ends up with if she ends up with any of the girls. I'm just here to see Andrea grow as a character. But I know there is Mollandrea shippers out there and this next section is in their defense)

Mollandrea is taking away attention from Molliby? Really? 💀

I know yall don't even believe that lie.

You sit here and tell me with a straight face that Mollandrea has had more content and attention than Molliby, even tho Molliby is 95% of content in this fanbase. Yeah I call bullshit.

Mollandrea shippers literally take their asses to Devían art and or Instagram tags to find content of the Ship cause there's little to none here at all. How did yall reach that conclusion? Count the fan arts, fanfics, and on top of that the content of the show itself and you come running back to me and tell me with a straight face Mollandrea has more content and it's taken away attention. Go ahead I'll wait.

Idk man. I wanted to bring up more to this topic to talk about but I've lost the care for this topic when tumblr completely deleted the progress in the post I was working on primarily the first time.

So enjoy this little "rant" I guess. Idk wtf I would call this tbh.

[nixotinix]

Love how the Heartless fandom is on a first name basis bc we're so small. Like I say Max and I guarantee that most of the ppl here will know who I'm talking about

Same with Rowan because Idc what you say Rowan you're an important part of the fanbase <3

[sailor-freak]

OKAY I LOVE IT I’M SORRY idk why I’m apologising cos I didn’t like HYLT and this is completely different to that and I love it so OOPS but I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to it but probably enough to talk about it properly 😂. So it has no real structure 😂. None that I could identify anyway 😂. It’s kind of consistent throughout, as in it doesn’t go anywhere, there’s moments for raps and changes in the vocal melody but the music is pretty much the same throughout. Which makes a change from HYLT which couldn’t make up its fucking mind 😂. It doesn’t have a proper chorus or verses or build up or anything, but I don’t think it’s supposed to? For the song it is its structure works perfectly fine 😂. It’s just a nice, easy, summer song, with some odd lyrics but idc 😂. Selena’s contribution to the song is also very good! She does a lot more than I thought she would I thought she’d get a section and that was it no she was like the new 5th member (rip Lady Gaga’s BP membership...) 😂. Speaking of Lady Gaga, I would say the song is very similar to Sour Candy, doesn’t have a typical pop song structure, lyrics about being sweet but sour/cold, mostly in English but small bits of Korean, and since I did love Sour Candy that might be why I love Ice Cream 😂.

The video omg YG FINALLY GAVE THEM A NEW CONCEPT finally a video that wasn’t “let’s piss away thousands of dollars on this one member’s line to make it confusingly meaningful” 😂. With DDU-DU DDU-DU, Kill This Love AND How You Like That it was just the same thing over and over again, with this one they’ve actually done things that I’ve been hoping for them to do to make their videos not repetitive 😂. Limit location, more group shots, lessen the pointless symbolism (okay some wasn’t pointless but some definitely was), make them look like human beings and not out of world life forms that only exist in pink tank rooms, giant bear traps and indoor snow storms 😂. And they did! 😂. For the song it is this was the perfect MV, it’s different but it is still Blackpink 😂. Maybe cos this is a full album they’re giving themselves the freedom to do more than just the same concept 3 years in a row, so I hope with future comebacks they’ll do more different concepts because they clearly have a big enough fanbase to experiment 😂. Anyway that’s all my ramblings I oddly love this song it makes me giddy like I’m on a sugar rush lol 😂.
