noelle is as tall as susie because she's standing on a stack of textbooks to get on her level

[wiredsignal]

u know what plops these here. NOT the trek fics i went out for nor even. really remotely zeno but the got the conceptual spirit. also i forgot how much i liked these guys. tos trivumvirate.

one. NOT fuck or die literally just. two guys in a relationship stuck in a closet with their crush under. MILD alter state. cursed their dicks.

two. IS fuck or die. lol. BUT TWO OF HIM. putting the. psyche, in horrible psychosexual sex. 'treatment' for the guy hes inlove with but its not him its the two less-than-the-sum parts. and the OTHER guy hes inlove has to be there. just horribly mortifying frictional. WOO.

[lucreziaces]

okay so i've finally figured out a way in which I could see rodrigo suggesting an incestuous polygamous marriage between his three favorite oldest children!! basically, it'd have to be an au where paolo never shows up in rome and juan never has him killed so all is well between juan and lucrezia. so, because juan hasn't done anything to warrant rodrigo's anger that means he's not made to pick a wife and sent off to spain when the french king makes his desire for revenge known. leaving rodrigo in a tough spot because now he knows juan to be incapable of leading the papal armies and they can't very well send him out there to negotiate terms with the french king when his little sister did that for him last time while he retreated. so, he decides there's only one path forward. offer cesare the chance to prove himself worthy of being the gonfaloniere over juan. and cesare would pull the same deception as in the show, chasing the french armies away from rome with fake canon. but instead of just ignoring this win, rodrigo decides to reward cesare. but to do that without causing such a great upset to his younger son, he decides he will have to marry lucrezia to juan. he runs the idea by vannozza first who tells him cesare will still find reason to envy juan. when he asks, "why is that?" she explains cesare's never been good at sharing her with their brother, not even as children. "you were often away on vatican business, so you don't remember but there were countless timesi caught him throwing pebbles at juan while he played with lucrezia. he does not understand the concept of sharing her, rodrigo." reluctantly, rodrigo would then decide that there was only one solution if he was to have peace between his children. marry all three of them to each other. though, this would still prove disastrous for him somehow in my mind as I can't imagine a scenario in which cesare gets to call lucrezia his wife, but has to share her still—with juan of all people—and it goes well? or maybe it would be fine because lucrezia would be too caught up in cesare to pay attention to juan, and therefore, cesare would never feel like he's sharing her even if on a technicality he is? plus, now he'd be busy planning the unity of italy. okay, yeah, idk it might be a reach, but maybe they could happily co-exist this way? I mean, it would more or less be the same situation the siblings are in, anyway, with the exception of cesare being in charge of the papal armies as he feels he should've been all along and ceslu is fucking/getting to be even more openly affectionate with each than they are in the show, erasing the shame element in cesare's mind probably. and juan being left out, still. except perhaps on the wedding night when lucrezia's made to make sure he's included in the consummation of the marriage (hello think I just found my threesome scenario.....will I ever write it, though, that's another story lol) and when cesare is away conquering italy in their father's name (which mind you would would often be weeks or even months....and all that time she would be horny and using juan for relief which would bother cesare, at first, until he realizes she enjoys laying with him more.)

There is something so indescribably special about my loves...

[waifuoftomonori]

Whenever there’s a stupid idea, Akifusa is almost always behind it. I love the man, but he is dumb as bricks. <3 Usually Tomonori discourages him and points out all the ways in which this idea is stupid, but that just fires him up and makes him more stubborn, so I guess one could argue this is encouragement, in the weird semi-adversarial relationship they sometimes have. (More than half the time, Tomonori is objecting out of concern for Akifusa and Shiki’s own health.) And Shiki’s normally the one to “fund” them, if they even require funding. Sometimes they don’t.

three types of characters in an ot3

[bettsfic]

okay so i saw The Bikeriders today and i knew i wouldn't be normal about this movie and even though my expectations were impossibly high it exceeded them. i was happy for it to just be a cool movie for the sake of being a cool movie, toxic masculinity ultraviolence whatever, and it was but with Jodie Comer's character narrating about what fucking idiots all these macho biker dudes are. it's like if a woman narrated Fight Club while constantly pointing out how stupid Fight Club is

also, most of it was filmed near where i live and it was so exciting seeing places i recognized! it's been all over the news for weeks

things i loved about it:

protective older woman/loose cannon younger man

lowkey romantic stalking

a relationship suspiciously close to a throuple, by which i mean protective older woman goes to war against possessive older man, re: their mutual intense love for loose cannon younger man. and that's not even subtext that's just text

hot sadboy who doesn’t talk much and is so cool he doesn’t know how cool he is

british people doing midwestern accents

NO PLOT, god bless. just stuff happening and a lot of gay tension building

accurate portrayals of the aftermath of the vietnam war

accurate portrayals of mid-century small-town life

accurate portrayals of men being fucking pathetic

things i did not love about it:

for the love of god please wear a helmet

idk man it's just a whole-ass movie about how vietnam changed the very definition of masculinity, and that awkward era between wwii and vietnam when guys were rebellious for the aesthetic, rebel without a cause shit, twinks in leather jackets manhood. the movie even points that out, like they're so against rules but then they make all these rules for their silly little biker gang because they're bored. and then allll these vets come home from a war nobody wanted and they're actually rebelling, full anti-establishment, and there's just no more honor anymore because everybody's broken. which is all to say, somebody please come into my ask and be insane about this movie with me.

anyway i'm seeing it again tomorrow and i have already started an ot3 fic goodbye

[fumifooms]

Mickrin

Fifth entry of my “Dunmeshi rarepairs I will birth with my own hands if I have to” series. This one’s straight up embarrassing, like of course the shadow version of Chilchuck and Marcille would get me.

It suddenly grabbed me out of nowhere. What got me thinking about it is this exchange, first comic third panel, because like… Woah. He knows she has a thing for Kabru? Or something. And he has NO FEAR. Like it’s so forward and has 0 pretenses lmao. And then I thought… And oh no. Oh no.

"I can fix him" x "I can make her worse"

Very uptight and strict and rules-following and too self-aggrandizing tbh x will not hesitate to insult you to your face and sleazy and free spirit…. Kuro is involved in an ot3 of sorts in my head and basically they drag her into Situations of various moral standing aka scams or idk going to a club god forbid. I think she needs to relax and get taken down 1 peg maybe, and I think he needs like…….. Someone to teach him what is unhealthy lmao, also remind him to get work benefits, and if they can like get to feel safe and comfy with one another (and god just the road there would be a beautiful trainwreck to watch) they would be gossip besties worsties.

Kabru needs to be the epitome of morals but like, if it’s Mickbell she can lower the bar… Just for him… <3 She can fix him just a little and she’ll be like "wow! Ok I can settle for this amount of upstanding behavior from you Mickbell you get a gold star"

I never expected it ok I read this extra expecting nothing and god knows why I saw him be like "hey u like Kabru right. You’re his babysitter right. Which poor sap is being Kabru’s maid" with 0 fear and her being so casually pissed back at him and idk, how they’re so comfy being not polite with one another but they’re still coworkers-friends despite it… Crazy for how prickly they both are that they manage that much. They bicker and see each other as annoying at best but weirdly dependable and friends despite it all and……….. I am going to grow them in a lab and observe how I can make it work

MICKBELL IS A REBOUND MORE AT 9??? Maybe Rin and Mickbell have a one night stand and then the aftermath dynamic is this….. She probably regrets it. And then it gets more complex and grows into something odd as she becomes hyperaware of him and they have this little complicity thing going on….

I think cuddling with Kuro (who would be more like a platonic protective & soothing presence in his and Rin’s relationship rather than romo) would destress her actually I think she needs and deserves it. Go to a dog cafe bbygirl it’ll fix you. So what I’m saying is the three of them watch a movie and Rin and Mickbell are sitting on Kuro’s laps and everyone is so comfy. Kuro’s legs die halfway through but he’s self-sacrificing it’s fine….. Actually Mick is on his laps Rin’s just nuzzled into his side. There, fixed. I am so weirdly invested in them… They’re funky to think about. Rin seeing Mickbell and Kuro like "you guys are aware that what you two have is fucked up right" and then joining them in the messy dynamic 🤝  Put them in situations. That will be all.

The sheer amount of sass on their own, let alone together…

Make them get drunk together it’ll be glorious

[spade-deck]

I'm sorry, did you mean Brian Thomas, Tim Wright, and Jay Merrick?

bitches will be like “my ot3 💕💕” and it’s a woman who could murder them, a guy who hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in six years, and another guy who almost got both of the other two murdered. it’s me i’m bitches

[cyberdragoninfinity]

Okay I know I was just here with III but I just got absolutely sledgehammered by the Arc-V ending (WTF) (Shun deserved better) so uh. Thoughts on Shun Kurosaki?

AHHAHAHAHA GOD. IM SO SORRY. IT'S. ROUGH. STAY STRONG MY FRIEND i would love to talk about shunshay kurosakiobsidian tho!

Why I like them/why I don’t: BIRD AUTISM IS SO COOOOOL I love that he's just so absurdly serious in a frequently deeply goofy yugioh, like GIVEN HIS SITUATION IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE but it's still so funny. guy who takes it up to an 11 when most situations really need maybe only a 5. his dub voice rules also he's got the zane thing where he's either muttering angrily or SCREAMING and i always love that sort of vocal performance hehehe. also lbr raidraptors are just so fucking cool. just a guy and his 3892893435 bigger and bigger birds that are guns. i also need to be real shay is one of those yugioh characters where i decided they were a butch lesbian in my brain and my enjoyment of them just shot right through the roof. transfem shay youre so real to me. thumbs up

What I like about their appearance: AGAIN ARC V CHARACTER COLOR PALETTES JUST RULE SO HARD the different shades of teal in his hair, the pop of red in his bandana, that deep indigo of his trench coat...it's such a good palette he has a very striking design.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names? i incline towards shay more but shun has grown on me more over tim... im starting to do the ryozane thing where i just jam both names together sometimes lol.... i think i like obsidian as a surname more than kurosaki though

OTP: im an aro lesbian shayshun truther and i dont really have any ships for him im like frothing TOO too much at the mouth about...i do like the idea of crow/shay especially as a butch birder4butch birder thing though

NOTP: shay/dennis is like..... man i Like a good enemies to lovers but this one doesnt feel great to me. the optics on 'guy who lost everything in a horrific war crime' x 'guy who gave the ok for that war crime to happen' are kind of. not great. not my favorite. idk. also thats a dyke and a gay man to me but ANYWAY

OT3: this is absolutely not the romantic sense of 'ot3' but i do love the xyz trio so much. characters who deserve the goddamn world

Favourite card they use: i do love satellite cannon falcon. world's most absolutely unnecessary gigantic robot bird thats also a gun that has to literally leave the atmosphere to attack. insane. i love yugioh.

Favourite moment they were in: yeah on that note it's the shay/dennis friendship cup duel. he fucking blew that twink up with his giant space falcon and also the entire stadium too and he probably would have beat dennis to death with his bare hands if he didnt get stopped. and it KICKED ASS.

Least favourite moment: LITERALLY THOUGH LIKE. WHY DID THEY DO THAT TO SHUN IN THE LAST LIKE 4 EPISODES OF THE SERIES...... why did they make him just effectively lie down and take that absolute dogshit hand they dealt him for no fucking reason. his best friend and his sister are effectively dead. but la la la yuya beat him so it's fine :^) WHY COULDNT HE HAVE DUELED YUTO...HE WAS THERE.. IN YUYA'S BRAIN...WOULDVE BEEN NICE. 8| GOD.

Something I associate with them: this onion headline

[gemharvest]

Gf for the character thing ? :] or maybe Nene if you received her already

I HAVEN'T RECEIVED HER YET THANK YOU !!!!!!!!! I'll do Nene too, I'll just make it her own post after posting this. :J

favorite thing about them: I love her dumbgirl swag. There's something so special to me that both her and Boyfriend are fuckin'. Dumb As Rocks. ALSO I LOVE THAT SHE'S CANONICALLY AN ARTIST that's such a sweet thing to me. I would pay one morbillion dollars for a GF commission (because she has no idea how they work).

least favorite thing about them: I WANT HER TO DO MOREEEEHGNJFN.. Like she's probably done as much as BF has so that's not a critique of the game, I just wanna see her do more. Because I love women. Oh also I think they should remake every canon piece depicting her and make her canonically fat. I often forget she isn't fat in canon and then I feel sickly when I look at like, the volume 1 cover and she's thin. W-Whe';re h.er tumm-.my go..,m,l,l,...,, <- sorry for crytyping but it fits.

favorite line: That's how you do it! <- I was gonna jokingly just go up down left right but then I remembered she says that in the tutorial. And I quote it to myself all the time so.

brOTP: Y'know what, similar to BF, I think a GF & Darnell friendship would be fuckin' s-tier. I often think abt this post Keyy made tbh. I know that's specifically the Funkycule AU and pup has them in a QPR but I do think abt it often. Also, before I was a romantic PicoGF guy my interpretation of RGB had Pico & GF as just friends, probably closer friends the longer they're in their relationships with BF cuz like, bonding over a shared partner or smthn LMAO so I'll give an honorable mention to Pico & GF friendship.

OTP: WOag. RGB. Wow I've never heard of that before. How many times can I joke about RGB being my OT3 for this game before it gets annoying LMAO anyways. I ALSO REALLY LOVE GFNENE I wish they had more fics. So bad. I'm actually shocked by how bare their tag on AO3 is. They weren't lying, fandom does hate femslash. /hj

nOTP: Is there anyone out there who actually ships her with Senpai. I think that'd be my only answer ALSO YOU KNOW WHAT. I chickened out on saying it with BF but I also consider BF and Senpai a nOTP but like, I DON'T HATE ANYBODY WHO SHIPS IT. OF COURSE. I don't think it's "problematic" to ship Senpai with either of them it's just, like, the most thought I have on Senpai is that I want to kick sand into his eyes. So that feeling doesn't really translate into a desire to see him shipped with anyone. I'm sorry to anybody who ships Senpai with either of them, I respect your grind, it is just sooooo not for me.

random headcanon: This headcanon is like, so deep into my personal GF characterization/ fuckin'. AU. If you wanna call it that atp. BUT ANYWAYS. Fuck this is gonna need quick background hold on. The canon explanation for her looking human iirc is literally just "true love" or whatever tf. But that's not as fun to play with. So instead I like to write her as being ashamed of being a demon, especially because of her parents' actions, so she masks her demon traits. And she reaaaalllly does not like letting them slip through, especially around a specific person (this is foreshadowing for something idek if I'll get to any time soon Sorry). BUT! She is on a limit for how long she can hide her demon traits until doing so starts to hurt her, either through draining her energy or like, it causing physical damage to continue hiding parts of her. And while she trusts Pico & BF, she's still got shit that she's just. Not. Sorting out. So when she feels she's about to reach a limit with it she locks herself away to rest until she's well enough to continue like normal. Girlie No (guy who is writing her to do this) (don't worry I'm going to also write her getting better abt this) I'm gonna eventually have to make a "Karl's Personal FNF Demon World Building" master-post or whatever just cuz this shit is so fun for me to work with Idk.

unpopular opinion: GEH once again idrk if this is an unpopular opinion but I've been using this to just. Complain. About stuff I have seen and disagree with so whatever I'm continuing the trend. Like Pico, I feel like I see. So many. Interpretations of her that just feel Wrong. Like I see people make her The Smart One or like. Dominant Girlboss with little substance beyond that. And it's like. Cool, yay, I love fandom misogyny. FUCK it's probably still rotting in my drafts but forever and always my reaction to this phenomenon with her is "This girl gets her hand stuck in peanut butter jars trying to eat pb with her hands. This is your Smart One?" and I should get it out of my drafts bc I'm real for that. DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME WHEN I SAY THIS BTW. Interpretations that smarten up BF to the same degree do not flag this to me. When making more serious fanworks with these guys, you're gonna have to give them more smarts than canon will. My issue is specifically when I have seen people still write in a degree of stupidity with BF and then just. Don't? Do the same with GF?

song i associate with them: Very basic but I think the sound is cute with her. My secondary answer would be Nelward - "Werewolf" but that's more of a. Specific Instance. That I don't want to elaborate on. grins

favorite picture of them:

Like literally all of them The Fuck you're making me choose? /silly Here's the fruits of me looking through her wiki gallery:

^ If I had to pick a single favorite, it'd be those panels from the Nendoroid comic. She was real for that. Anyways FUCK I love her. Statements improved when you remember I'm Boyfkin LMAOOOOOO..

[inf-01]

I think I love this show

Mecha-Ude: Mechanical Arms

[olderthannetfic]

Idk if this is a trope, or a genre-thing, or a real life thing, but I've been seeing more and more of my internet acquaintance circle say that a character being friends with an ex is a big turn-off to them in media they consume. It's really weird to me because I don't even know it's apparently such a big deal in media to be mentioned, but also, what's bad about staying friends with an ex to begin with? If we split amicably I'd rather stay in good contact, than completely cut someone off. Especially if that person was a good friend to begin with. I don't think I've seen that much media revolving around this at all tbh, and it's weird how they started mentioning it recently. Ok Christmas is the time of love and friendship, but stills feels kinda random. Is it like a side effect of current dating culture, or is that an old thing? I notice it more with internet acquaintances than my IRL friends as well. I don't think the idea of writing about two people staying friends after a break-up turns into a cheap porn plot of them just fucking behind any new girl/boyfriends. If that happens, then that is a cheap porn plot. I just wanna know what the fuck they're media they're looking at.

--

Well... to be honest, a lot of people aren't friends before they date someone and do treat romantic prospects and friends differently.

I think a lot of media also does this. Not only does your standard bad tv writing use the ex for drama in most cases, but the writing of the actual friendship part is often unconvincing.

I know a lot of people, usually guys, who met some girl on a dating app or asked her out in a bar because she was pretty who pull the "We should stay friends" thing, and it's laughable. They weren't friends, and the way that woman socializes outside of her boyfriend isn't compatible with how he socializes.

It's much less weird if it's somebody from your friend circle whom you knew for a long time first.

For me personally, in the context of fiction, the biggest problem is that a sufficiently interesting friendship will make me ship those characters and not the current ship that the media is pushing. Or, on rare occasions, I won't even ship them, but I just want to hear about their friendship and not the romance.

IRL, there are lots of reasons people just don't work out, but in fiction, I'm constantly going "Okay, but they could get back together though!" Unlike with real people, there's no reason some subtle shade of their personality couldn't be a little different or they couldn't change their mind about lifestyle things in a way that would make the couple great together this time around.

It would probably annoy me less in extremely realistic dramas about daily life, but I dislike those. Most things I actually consume just either make me think "Why are we wasting time on the current ship?" or "OT3! OT3!"

Part of making good fiction is paring away the less essential stuff to let the main points shine. A too-good friendship does steal airtime from a romance in a lot of cases.

--

OTOH, I do know a bunch of neurotic people who just hate it when any ex is within a thousand miles because they've got cheating on the brain.

[seventhdoctor]

I didn't follow your liveblog for Zexal, sooooo I wanna hear ur thoughts about Yuma.

Why I like them/why I don’t

Backflips McGee!!! The kid who could easily win multiple golds at the Olympics if he weren't busy playing card games.

The Olympic high jump record is about eight feet. Please.

Yuma's such a squishable little guy. I don't want to spoil stuff you haven't already been spoiled for but there's segments where he is just. Oh buddy everyone's bullying you for this but that's an ADHD mood and I feel it. Maybe I'd be less neurotic about going out if I applied kattobingu to my life, or maybe I'd just forget my keys more often.

And IDK he's a funny little guy who gets broken by the narrative as per Yugioh tradition but he never stops looking for a solution. Even at the end, it's his belief that someone can be his friend, that everyone can make it out that wins people over and eventually saves the day.

That sounds generic (partially because I'm, again, trying to avoid spoilers you don't already know) but Zexal is actually pretty hardcoded about its zero-sum games most of the time so it still works.

What I like about their appearance

His flame bell bottom pants. IDK it's a funny detail and it sticks out to me among all the elements of his outfit.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?

No difference here.

OTP

Yuma/Astral, platonic. Love it when a guy has another invisible guy in his pocket and they changed each other's lives.

I've said multiple times for previous answers I love partners!!! Of all kinds!!! So Yuma and Astral had me from early on. Very consistently the best way to manipulate one is to threaten (or even imply threats to) the safety of the other and I die every time.

NOTP

None.

OT3

I don't know Zexal ships enough for this. Is Shark/Yuma/Vector a thing? I think that would be funny.

Favourite card they use

Temtemtempo the Drum Djinn! :D Yuma has a lot of fun little guys but I really like the music djinns. They're little guys who occasionally become really big guys...

Favourite moment they were in

Hmmm. There's a lot of these. I'm gonna give it to his ceremonial duel with Astral at the end: there's so much "I knew you were going to do that" and "I know you know I know" going on between him and Astral from all their time together, and there's just so much fondness between them, and it kills me.

And then Yuma does a quintuple backflip to draw a card because this boy is an Olympic gymnast and honestly wasted on dueling.

Least favourite moment

Begging for a heart piece at the start of the WDC. Secondhand embarrassment too high.

[groovebunker]

Francine Joy Fine

how i feel about this character

my sweet, sweet angel. i love fran. she's so sweet and funny and complex and i wish she'd had a tiny bit more depth on the show. just a bit. she's so wonderful to me, so true to herself and i adore her.

all the people i ship romantically with this character

cc babcock. that's her girlfriend, your honour. her soulmate if you will. they are in love.

my non-romantic otp for this character

niles - i love their friendship so much.

my unpopular opinion about this character

ooooh idk. i feel i have less controversial opinions about fran than anyone else on the show. is that she deserves way better than max unpopular?

one thing i wish had happened with this character in canon

season 4, her and cc should have been friends. like they were so fucking close and it would have made seasons 5 & 6 bearable. she also shouldn't have taken max back after The Thing but what can you do.

my het ship

ugh. maybe the male nanny who she thinks is gay. like i think he would have treated her right.

my femslash ship

ccb!!!!

my otp

also ccb. they are destined, i'm sure of it.

my ot3

ooooh, tricky. there aren't enough well developed women on this fucking show. sorry.

my crossover ship

platonically, janice from friends, i wanna see them hang out so fucking badly it is unreasonable.

my kink

other than the fact that that woman is an exhibitionist, i think there's a little part of her which enjoys degradation and she really has to coax that out of cc bc cc finds it very difficult to be mean to her.

a head canon fact

fran can cook, she just lets niles do it.

my gender bend

like who would I cast? oooh. present day, i think andy samberg has the Correct Energy to play a guy fran. franklin! let's call him franklin. i'm really not sure how it would work though. many thoughts to be had.

[fluffypotatey]

maybe i am a Tommy x Gally shipper 👀

and Tommy x Ably

ok Tommy stop being so shippable

hey guys maze runner is free on YouTube should i watch it? (time sensitive)
