Barbossa X reader☠️

Every sailors dream🌊

"I ain’t be the one for affections, I always thought it was stupid and prissy. I took pride in me self and me ship anything else goes overboard. Traveling around the seven seas is me life and I ain’t gonna let anyone take that away from me”

I held many secrets as a Captain. I won’t tell a soul and even if someone found out I’ll drag em’ to the depths of the seven seas where no one can ere em’ again. I swear me own secrecy, lock it away and never reach it again, I be soundin mad if I admitted I be in love.

I haven’t told the lass and you ain’t gonna make me confess, it’s been for some time and every time I see her, I freeze. I freeze like some stupid nitwit that can’t spell the words out of me mouth it’s annoyin I tell ya. I won’t deny the young thing ain’t even noticed me.  

I keep staring at her, I feel soft for her and even more I want to be with her. It’ll take some miracle for that to happen, but I know the lass don’t feel the same way.

I took out me telescope and look around the waters, Jack and henry were talking while Carina was keeping track. My eyes catch sight of her as she wore that white dress, if it were me old self, I would’ve tried to kidnap er and marry er. I know she would hate me but if it catches her eye for me then so be it.

I stare at her beautiful eyes, locks, and gorgeous skin. I dream of caressing her every night while she cooks me something. She loves to grow strawberries and her love for people is a rarity, I crave for her attention. Every woman I’ve been with ain’t like her, believe me every time I was with a beautiful woman me mind goes to her.

If there were a god or something up there, I would pray just for her to touch me. I would seek the day the lass comes up to ask me to be with er. Her voice was like a song in me ears, like a siren tryna take me in.

I had a dream the other night where I woke up from me cabin, and there she was standing by my door with that same warm smile.

“I’ve been making such great things; I made a cake for the two of us to eat, it even has strawberries on top” y/n smiled. Her scent reminded me of strawberries and peaches, “Thanks y/n” I smiled softly.

Her lips were so close, and I didn’t know what came over me, but I took y/n in with a strong pull kissing her lips. Me’ hands caressed her soft hair locks as I closed me’ eyes. I muttered to her “from the deepest of me hearts, I love you y/n”. Me eyes started to well up with tears of desperation, I was in love with her. I had to admit it right there and then, y/n was the love of me life and I won’t let go.

Y/n smiled even though it was just some sort of figment, a ghost of the woman that I was in love with. I was wearing a white blouse and she was wearing that white dress. I could feel y/n’s soft skin, touch my hand, as she started to dance with me. I slowly moved with her as she guides my body around the room, the younger woman smiled with glee.

We slowly fell to the ground as I could feel her arms wrap around my head, her scent filled me with so much warmth.

The woman vanished and that's when I woke up and felt utter disgust for how I acted. I was a fearsome captain fer god’s sake not some soft ninny. I scowled and barked at the crew below, I don’t care if Jack be a cap’n of my pearl but on this ship, it be me. “We be turnin’ into the main point” I turned the wheel as Jack looked out through his telescope, mine was bigger of course.

Carina and Henry jumped down into the waters while Gibbs shouts out “Cap’n Salazar’s men be tracking us” He points to the ship closing in on us. “Bugger!” Jack shouts trying to mend the wheel as I shoved him out of the way “Jack I be the Cap’n, get into position”. Jack scowled and grabbed his sword as I steered the ship out of the trenches, Henry and Carina jumped onto the rope. Y/n was on the side trying to hoist the ropes, “Get on with it Scallywags, we ave company” I shouted.

Y/n leaned down, she was trying to get Henry and Carina on board. I barked at her “Get on the ropes lass” but she didn’t listen, I watched as y/n grabbed Carinas hand and without hesitation Carina climbed up, but y/n wasn’t strong. I watched with horror as she fell overboard, I shouted at Jack “Jack take the darn wheel”. I bolted as fast as I could over board to find the lass hanging onto the rope, her hair was flowing in the wind as she struggled.

She was begging to get on and so with no hesitation I jumped overboard “No!” Carina shouted. Henry rushed to her side and held her back “we have to help Jack” he shouts. Y/n was struggling as I came to her side “can ye hold on” I shouted over the waves crashing in “I can’t, I can’t” she struggled. I took her hand; I knew I had to make a deal with the cursed seas just for this moment.

“Y/n I haven’t been a good man; I never will be” I softened my eyes. Y/n grabbed the rope “What, what do you mean” y/n sounded confused. “Yer young an’ kind” I exclaimed “I be old and I ain’t ever been the nicest, I’m sorry I wasn’t kind to ye enough” I looked into her beautiful eyes. “What are you saying” she shouts worried “ye be every sailor dream y/n” I latched one of my arms around her waist, I pressed my lips onto hers.

Y/n closed her eyes, I know Jack be gagging up there and I would slice his neck for mocking me. I took one more glance at the woman I loved before holding my sword out. “I-“ She sounded confused “ye be my own dream” I cut the rope as she flies up towards the ship.

I could feel myself falling as she was lifting towards a better life; I would’ve sacrificed anyone to save my own skin. I knew it was too little too late, from when I first met the lass it was attraction, but her kindness rubbed off on me and therefore cursed me with love.

Me’ stubborn heart wouldn’t move on even if it was the love for some other woman. I loved y/n to the point it led me to me own death. My eyes looked towards the sun as I saw the ship sailing away, I closed my eyes dreaming of her words:

“Strawberries are my favourite”

“Oh, you love it that’s so generous of you thank you Barbossa”

“You’re not going to kill me why?”

“I made a cake for the two of us to eat”

“Look it has strawberries on top”

I could feel the tears stride down my cheeks, even if her words weren’t real, it’s all I could ask for.

“I’m every sailor’s dream, I’m your dream”

I felt my body vanish within the seas as I stared at the sun muttering one word.

“Y/n, I love ye”

Anyways that's all I have for now:

TikTok Series | Anyway, so.

Word Count: 1.2k

Category: Fluff

Warning: Idk, language? Idk anymore but no heavy stuff it’s literally just TikTok content

Request: for your tik tok series i can imagine y/n and harry trending and harry would be like “what did you post now?” and it would actually be the fans this time. the “i’ve never seen two pretty best friends” with videos of them being like they are both pretty so that’s a lie. loving that series

** THIS IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT! i hope you like it, and let me know what you think 🤍

// masterlist //

..

The numbers only went up with your TikTok; the views, the likes, the comments, and the followers.

What started as just you having fun during quarantine, ended with a verified account and demanding fans of your boyfriend asking you to take part in many challenges and pranks.

“y/n’s tiktok is basically just her cooking or pranking harry or dueting stans’ videos with a hood on and i love every second of it”

“tiktokers: doing stupid shit to gain money

y/n: anyway dudes, here’s how to make grilled cheese with no cheese for if you’re too broke to get any”

“when y/n duets thirsty tiktoks I just can’t help but think of how much I want a partner this chill”

“can anyone start any new couple challenge already? I want new harry & y/n content k thanks”

Fans were vocal about how much fun they had with your TikTok, some adding sentiments that made you emotional like;

“never thought I’d feel connected to anyone who’s with harry but here’s y/n replying to tiktok comments like we’re all a bunch of friends”

“I kid you not, the reason why I’m excited to eat at school is because I’m always excited to try y/n’s easy recipes and I just love her so much”

“not me meeting y/n, harry styles’ gf, at the grocery store today and greeting her like we grew up together bc that’s how I feel about her”

Along with laughing together at videos, you and Harry also seemed to always have a new catchy song to sing around the house ever since you first installed the app, with how it has helped artists’ music go viral. Hell, even funny songs would get stuck in your brains.

On your phone was proof of that. Standing behind an oblivious Harry as he cooked one day, he was in shorts and a tight top, flipping toast on the stove as he sang, “Chicken wing, chicken wing, hot dog and bologna, chicken and macaroni, chillin’ with my homies,” wiggling his butt as he did.

You hadn’t posted since the “How well do our brains work together” TikTok you posted with Harry, so when you saw yours and Harry’s ship name trending with 84.7 million views to it, you were confused to say the least.

Sitting beside Harry as he was on his laptop, you moved closer to lean against his side, his arm reflexively wrapping around you.

“We’re trending on TikTok.”

“Aren’t we always?” He smugly asked, looking at you.

“No,” you laughed, “Usually after I post something, yeah, but I haven’t posted in two weeks.” You said as you clicked on the hashtag, seeing pictures of you and Harry in many videos along with different faces with titles.

Clicking on a video with 6.3 million views, you and Harry watched as a girl filmed herself with the background music sounding and someone speaking through it, “I ain’t never seen two pretty best friend. It’s always one of ‘em gotta be ugly.”

The music then stopped, Nicki Minaj’s voicing being heard, “Ummm...Chile. Anyway, so,” before Noahplause’s song, Runnin’, came, and with it came pictures of you and Harry.

A picture of the both of you from Dunkirk’s premiere; Harry in his suit with his arm around your waist as he looked down at you with a smile. You in a dress that matched the color of his suit, one hand on his chest and another on his shoulder, smiling to the cameras.

A picture of you lying on the sand at the beach in your swimsuit with your eyes closed, Harry’s head resting on your stomach as he looked up at the camera with a neutral face, it being a picture from when he was filming the Watermelon Sugar music video.

A candid picture taken by paps of Harry standing behind you with his arms wrapped around you, his chin resting on your head as you stood in a park with a couple of friends.

A selfie you had posted to your Instagram story of you lying your head on Harry’s shoulder, him looking to the side, making his sharp jawline perfectly appear.

A picture of you and Harry kissing from one New Year’s party you attended; your hands on his cheeks, his tangled in your hair. It was a low-quality picture, but it still showed clearly that it was the both of you.

You and Harry were watching with amused expressions, laughing in surprise at the trend his fans seemed to start.

“This is so cute, what!” You laughed at the video, “Let’s watch another one and duet it.”

“What does that mean? What do we do?” Harry asked, looking at you.

“It means, I’ll choose to duet so when I post it, the two videos will be aligned together and we’ll watch that video as we record.” You explained, scrolling before pausing the next video and tapping on ‘Duet.’

“So, it’s like a reaction?”

“Exactly,” you nodded, “Ready?”

“Yes.” Harry grinned, turning his body slightly.

Your phone showed yours and Harry’s faces, both of you with small smiles before you made sure that the mic was opened and began recording, the video you were reacting to beginning to play.

It started with a ceiling as the man spoke his line. When it came to the guy saying “two pretty best friends”, Harry had mouthed along, gesturing between the both of you making you laugh.

Nicki then spoke, and in came Runnin’ with pictures of you and Harry.

First one was of just you smiling to the camera.

At this, Harry’s smile widened.

Second one was Harry smirking at one of his shows from 2018.

You hummed, nodding slowly.

Third one was of you with makeup, an eyebrow raised and a hand to your temple, posing for the camera.

“Insanely good.” Harry said slowly with a shake of his head, eyes fixed on the phone. You cooed, pouting at his comment.

Fourth one was of Harry smirking in the tulle-detail, off-shoulder trench coat from his Vogue photoshoot.

“This one, yes!” You exclaimed, causing Harry to laugh.

Fifth one was the same picture of the both of you from when he was shooting his Watermelon Sugar music video.

“I love this one so much.” Harry said before giving a genuine closed-lipped smile as he remembered the exact moment the picture was taken.

“Right?” You smiled.

Sixth one was a video of the both of you dancing, your arms around his neck, his hands holding your waist, as it showed the both of you grooving with Harry singing to you with a smile on his face.

“Shut up, I didn’t know this existed.” You gasped, Harry chuckling.

Seventh one was a picture taken by a friend of yours; your eyes were closed in childlike happiness, Harry sitting beside you and looking down at you with a dopey smile as one of his hands squished your cheeks.

“Hey, that’s my lockscreen!” Harry beamed, instantly holding his phone to yours, showing that the last picture was, in fact, his lockscreen so excitedly before the video ended.

Posting the video, you added a caption to it:

“we have the biggest smiles on our faces. you’re all so adorable thank you😭 (also 10/10 for calling us best friends)”

“We are best friends,” Harry said, letting out a sigh before dramatically wrapping both arms around you, giving you a squeeze, “Best of!”

G5 SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

My thoughts! (cute pic added so it wont be just boring text)

So I just saw the movie.

I been waiting for this ever since it was announced. I gotta say I was skeptical about it first but now Im like 'huh I see"

General : lighthearted movie with good music.

Plot : mediogre, I wanted to know more what happend!?

Questions :like SUNNYS DAD??? he died HOW??? HOW.. WHY WERE THE placements in his house..? Why did everyone start hating each other? What happend to Twilight and her friends?

Im sure everyones ASKING these question and I feel like movie should had covered this but maybe its a work for the show.

Thoughts : I really loved the animation! outstaniding and so many refernces and little clues every where that Im not sure I picked these up. So much to notice! The FREAKING pinup calender of Hitch.. GAY... and yeH This leads me to thibk that they are adults like in their 20s? like why else would there be that kind of joke or idk. After all Sunny lives alone too and Izzy? Also Sprout literally has the man child vibes so I doubt they are really young. Late teens at max I think! THE GUARDS were so cute and funny.Dont mind if i SHIP em lol. Also Sprout lowkey gay we all know that. Their worlds were really pretty and I liked how funny sterotypes they all had of each other. The music was so good. Sprouts song is the best!! The ending makes me think SUNNYS wings and horn arent permanent. They were see threw so yeah that wont be a thing in the show so I dont think non of us need to scream about that. Really have so much questions and movie answered so little that it makes me think what did the movie told us? I did really enjoy it but did it explain enough about their current world to us? No absolutely not!

Unicorn/Pegasi/Earth pony:

Another intresting thing to note is how unicorns who use to be higher class ones in g4 are now primitive nations. They live in woods and didnt seem to have any tehnology ? They seem to be like this "hipster" society that lives in woods and collect crysthals and read poems. Anything to just get their time off. Earth ponies have a powerful propaganda going on. A very dictatorship kind of way of thinking. They all work as a little town society like all the tribes but earth ponies propaganda to hate and be scared of unicorns and Pegasi seems much stronger. Their society seems to me like a little town community kind of. They have some technology- doesnt seem to have smartphones but they have movies and other things. Pegasi seems to be most obssed with tehnology and celerbtiy and gossip media. Much like canterlot use to be with lots celebrities and higher class ponies. I guess they just needed soemtjing cuz they lost their abilty to fly so they all came obssed with royal family and celebrities and gossip culture. What im saying each tribe had their own way of coping with things. To unicorns this seemed to be the most hurtful because they had no "fake" hope like the Pegasi had who thought royal family only could fly.

Characthers: Im gonna get hate for this but I really liked Sprout? like I know he is man baby but I thought the dictator ship kind ruling was pretty funny and well he just wanted to make his mom proud. I liked that his mom wasnt insane either? like she saw that the power was getting to his head. Speaking of moms Queen Haven is icon. I like her. She just likes glamour and camera. Nothing wrong with that. I LAUGHED WHEN I SAW THAT THEY HAD GOLDEN JAIL. Pegasi are clearly very wealthy. Zipp to me in this movie was the weakest characther? she barely had any moments of her own. Pipp had more mean energry than i thought like I thought she was gonna be literally like OMG SLAAAY QUEEN YASSS all the time but she gladly wasnt. Im looking forward more to see both of the sisters and their differnces. Kinda reminds me of me and my sister tbh one is all about fashion and expensive things in life and I am well.. I like more earthy things. So im lookin forward seeing those two interact the most.Hitch was pretty cool. He is like mix of applejack and fluttershy. I like him, not bad at all but very charming and clearly adored in town. Ok now the best SUNNY AND IZZY!! they are kinda... fruity hehzhejdjej I MEAN NOT STRAIGHT but also I love how I could see them as literally soulmates in friend way.. the latern thing.. that was so sniff.. I CRIED OK.. SHRED SINGLE TEAR. anywayd Im glad Izzy isnt RANDOM XD RAWR kinda pony I thought shed be. Will see how they are treated later. SUNNY is just precious also SOCIALIST AF.. bruh zjejs idk how I feel about that like she has that vibe love and tolerance to all but it could go so wrong. But Im glad she didnt loose optimism fully in end! She is previous.

The plot is how it is so ILL give this movie solid 8/10. Enjoyable!

Anyways in general I think the movie was good! Go watch it. if not for anything else then the visuals and songs are really good!

[renaerys]

Has anyone said “38. That ass is highly unprofessional” for Reds yet? Because I feel like the comedy potential is enormous

38. “That ass is highly unprofessional.”

There are far too many good scenarios for this excellent prompt and idk if I picked the best one, but an effort was made. 🤡

Send me a prompt and some characters! Reminder that the challenge is to make everything SFW, so we're getting creative here.

List of prompts

xxx

Blossom watched from across the room as Brick fist-bumped the head delegate from the China team. He’d been cagey and weirdly subdued all morning, but the moment the unmoderated caucus began, he slinked away without anyone noticing. Anyone, that is, except Blossom.

“Russia? You were saying?”

Blossom snapped the pencil she’d been holding between her fingers. Denmark leaned back and slowly pulled the cup full of fresh pencils out of her reach. “What? Oh, right. I’m proposing we form a sub-committee to begin formal negotiations.”

“No way, we don’t negotiate with terrorists,” said Canada. “Terrestrial or otherwise.”

The United States stood up and palmed his fist. “Agreed. I say we nuke ‘em before they can nuke us.”

“Oh, sure, great idea, Rambo. This is Model UN, not Independence Day.”

“Wow, super in-character of you, Switzerland. Why are you even here?”

Blossom put up her hand. “We have no idea if the aliens are terrorists. I agree that we can’t discount the possibility of hostile intent, but violence should not be our opening move.”

“Crisis update!” A staffer handed Canada a red envelope, which she read aloud to the gathered students-cum-delegates. The aliens had parked one of their space ships on the Xi’an city wall, destroying a huge chunk of it and killing some civilians, and China was using it as justification to attack with full force.

“Oh my god, I think we might actually be in Independence Day,” Canada said.

“Recess! I’m calling for a recess.” Blossom left the table as the United States, Canada, and a gaggle of European Union countries began to squabble.

She found Brick talking to Israel and Argentina. The minute he saw her coming, he excused himself from the conversation and walked the other way.

“Brick! I know you saw me.” Blossom followed him to the all-gender restrooms, where he was fixing his hair in the mirror. “What are you doing?”

“About to take a gratuitous shit. You might want to get out of here.”

She grabbed his elbow and spun him toward her. “I’m talking about your side conversations. What were you doing talking to China without me?”

“Russia’s a big country, and you looked busy doing your thing. I’m just doing mine.”

“And what, exactly, is your thing?” She peered at him. “I swear to god, if that KGB comment this morning wasn’t a joke and I find out you’ve been threatening the other delegates behind my back—”

“Relax, comrade,” he patted her shoulder, “before you pop a seam in your pencil skirt.”

Blossom could not help but check out her ass in the mirror now that he’d brought it up. Of course, he was also checking out her ass, because he was an uncouth jerk who knew exactly how to get under her skin, and now Blossom was at an impasse. If she told him off, she’d be giving him exactly what he wanted, which was to make her snap and froth. If she did nothing, he’d still win with the knowledge that he’d pissed her off and gotten the last word in to boot.

Much like with terrorists, when it came to dealing with teenage boys, negotiation was not an option; the only solution was total annihilation.

Blossom placed a hand on her hip and stuck her ass out more as she examined herself in the mirror. “You mean, this pencil skirt?”

Brick’s smile fell in defeat like so many doomed German aggressors marching into the heart of Russian winter. “Obviously.”

Perish, you fool.

“Did you see a loose thread somewhere around here?” She turned slightly and ran her finger along the side seam of her skirt in an unbridled act of hormonal militarism. “Or was it on this side?”

Brick rested his weight on the counter because he was weak and cornered and they both knew it.

“No?” She smiled. “Just your imagination, then. We better get back to the conference.”

She made it halfway to the door when Brick hauled his wounded carcass away from the sink counter and desperately fired back with: “Disgraceful tactics, honestly.”

“Me? I’m not the one committing treason and encouraging intergalactic warfare.”

“Hey, I signed up for global warming and nuclear proliferation, not this made up Men in Black bullshit. If aliens attacked we’d just blast them ourselves, no negotiation necessary, we can all go home.”

“Oh my god, so you admit you intentionally sabotaged the exercise! I knew it. You are highly unprofessional.”

“That ass is highly unprofessional!”

“Stop thinking about my ass!”

“I literally fucking cannot after that!”

Blossom fumed. “Are you saying I’m asking for it?”

“I’m saying how dare you expect me not to think about how good your ass looks in that skirt!”

“Oh, so it’s my fault, is it? Well, I’m so sorry for looking amazing in Western business professional!”

“Apology accepted!”

“Good!”

“Great!”

“Fantastic!”

“Wonderful!”

“Incredible!”

“Superb!”

“Glorious!”

“Brilliant!"

Blossom had at least fifteen more increasingly positive synonyms that she could have screamed at Brick, but Denmark popped his head in just as she was getting ready to shout stupendous at top volume.

“Um, hi. We’re taking a vote on what to do about the aliens and we need Russia’s vote, so…yeah.”

The vote was close and also meaningless, since China and several allies acted on their own against the aliens, who of course retaliated and gave the United States carte blanche to bust out the big guns. By the end of the conference, half the world’s population had been eradicated by nuclear weapons or alien technology. It was a complete and total disaster, and Blossom had no idea how she was going to explain it to her Model UN club coach when she got back to Townsville.

“Told you we should have just fought the aliens ourselves,” Brick said as they packed up their things for the flight back home.

“Please stop talking. It makes it harder for me to pretend you don’t exist.”

“Still wearing the skirt, I see.”

Blossom threw her water bottle at him, which was both very childish and very unsatisfying when he caught it. “I’m going to wear pencil skirts every day for the rest of the semester just for you.”

“Don’t you fucking dare.”

“I dare.”

“I’ll drop out.”

“No, you won’t.”

“I’ll check out your ass every day.”

“Go ahead.”

“I will.”

“Great, because I want you to.”

“Great, because I want to!”

“I’m going to look so good!”

“I completely agree!”

They stormed out of the conference center together.

“See you on Monday,” Blossom said in her best die in a trash heap voice.

“You better wear a skirt,” Brick said as if he’d just invited her to jump into an active volcano.

“I absolutely will.”

“I can’t wait.”

Blossom swallowed a scream and took off flying, knowing she’d be there all day if he didn’t get the last word in.

xxx

“Dude, are you okay? You’ve been aggressively staring at Blossom’s ass all morning.”

Brick sucked on his straw loud enough to draw Blossom’s annoyed glance. “Fuck off, Harry.”

“Are you, like, into her?”

She turned her back to him and power posed with her hands on her hips, which was an extremely flattering angle and a high-key bitch move. “I despise her.”

Harry smiled. “Oh, cool! Cool cool cool… Hey, so I was wondering who I should ask to Homecoming—”

“No.”

“But I just thought since you don’t—”

“No.”

Harry finally fucked off.

for the prompt: spones (or spirk) where McCoy is turned into a dog, and Spock has to deal with this gigantic canine following him around the ship. idk if he knows that it's McCoy, but I thought this would be a cute prompt haha

Found the furry! Get 'em lads! /j

I know you wanted him to be a big dog, but I have a soft spot in my heart for small dogs, so I hope you still like this.

Spock resisted the very Human urge to pinch the bridge of his nose as if warding off a headache, a habit formed from seeing Jim and Leonard perform the same one too many times.

“How?” he demanded lowly, voice flat as he started down at the miniature poodle on the transporter pad. It was a deep chocolate color with tight, wiry curls and nearly invisible silver glimmering through the coat, and it couldn’t have weighed much more than four kilograms -- probably closer to three.

“Er,” was Scott’s eloquent reply, and it told him all he needed to know. The poodle continued to glare up at him -- and it was clearly a glare, although he hadn’t known before now that Terran canines possessed the muscles to manipulate their eyebrows in such a way.

“Well,” Jim said, rubbing his hands together, and Spock already knew what he was going to say, illogical as it was, because he knew the man that well.

“No.”

“Spock,” Jim whined.

“No, Captain. I am not fit to care for... him.” He caught himself from saying ‘it’, knowing Leonard would remember and make hell for him once he was back to normal for it.

“Spock,” Jim said again, sighing.

“Captain,” he replied, and pretended it wasn’t illogical and petulant.

“He’s your boyfriend.”

“I am not, what do you Humans say? A ‘dog person’.” And he wasn’t. Spock had never seen the appeal in the creatures. Shelats were far more reliable, clever, and clean, and made much better pets. Even Terran felines were preferable. He had nothing against dogs, but he had little desire to care for one, and even less so when it was apparently his current mate.

Leonard raised slightly on his haunches and growled. Spock raised an eyebrow back.

“It’s just until we figure this out,” Jim reasoned. “All you have to do is feed him and make sure he doesn’t get lost or stuck behind a door or something.”

“You are fully capable of those things yourself, Captain.”

Leonard growled at him again, louder, his scowl intensifying as he rose onto all fours, tail up in defensive position. Spock frowned at him.

“Look, I could make this an order, but I think it’s pretty clear Bones wants to go with you anyway.” Jim paused, then chuckled. “Ha, Bones. ‘Cause dogs like bones.” Leonard barked at Jim angrily, startling him into taking a step back before he chuckled in amusement. “Harsh crowd.”

“I’ll be right on this, sir,” Scott piped up, and Spock imagined if he was capable of headaches, life aboard the Enterprise would be a constant one. He almost understood what Leonard meant when he complained so much now. “We’ll have ‘im sorted out in no time.”

“In the meantime...” Jim said expectantly, trailing off. Spock did not sigh.

“I will not carry you,” he told Leonard, and got a glare and another soft growl in return. “Will you use a litter pan?”

It was illogical to think Leonard looked sour at the idea. Canines did not have that much range of expression. Still, he could imagine the rant Leonard was no doubt drafting in his mind, despite the tip of his head that looked very much like a nod.

“Very well,” he said, and did not sigh again. “If you’ll excuse us, Captain.”

“You’re very excused,” Jim replied, clearly amused, and Spock resolved then that once Leonard was back to normal, he would not interfere with whatever punishment he planned for their insufferable captain.

[disaster-j]

idk if you can help me with this but i fell in love with offgun watching not me and watching content about them there's so much of tay tawan with them. i like him and i know he has done bl too, but there's so many series he's in, do you know what i should watch of him? or if it's any good?

I can definitely help you with that, yes! Tay is a great actor imo, one of my thai faves actually. While I haven't watched his full discography, I have seen him in A Lot of shows by now so here's my- entirely subjective -guide to watching Tay Tawan's work. And we gotta start off with what I consider his best work and one of the greatest thai shows of all time-

1. 3 Will Be Free

3wbf is a 2019 drama starring Tay, Mild (my favourite thai actress!!!) and Joss in the main roles. It's a somewhat fast paced crime thriller about three people from very different backgrounds who end up on the run from a mafia boss together and fall in love along the way. This show features a love triangle that ends in ot3, a super badass transfem character played by our queen Jennie Panhan and a whole lot of iconic moments. It was one of the first thai shows I ever watched and I will happily recommend it to anyone who'll listen for the rest of my life. You can watch it for free on YouTube here.

2. The Gifted + The Gifted Graduation

So this is a two part series and while Tay is only in s2 I must add it to the list bc if you're gonna watch thai shows you need to watch this one. It's arguably one of the best thai series in existence. The plot is captivating and engaging, the cinematography is eye-catching and the cast is one of the best ensemble casts ever. Gun and Sing (Todd in Not Me) are two amazing actors that you'd recognise here but I also recommend looking out for the rest of the cast; especially Jane, Nanon and Chimon who are all incredible actors. Tay will appear in s2 and it's hands down one of his best performances yet. You can find both seasons on yt here.

3. Dark Blue Kiss

This 2019 series was Tay's first main role in a proper BL, where he starred opposite his long-time ship partner New. The show is a sequel to non BL shows Kiss and Kiss Me Again but I would not recommend watching either of them on account of them being pretty fucking bad. There IS a PeteKao cut that you can watch on yt to get an idea of how those two got together before watching DBK and that should be enough. I also feel the need to warn you that DBK has very mixed reviews and while I loved it, there's no guarantee it would be to your taste. I explained in this post why I loved PeteKao's story and felt it's a very important one that needed to be told so you can look that up before giving it a try if you wish. But honestly if you like BLs and melodrama it would be a fun enough watch. You can watch it on yt here. Also recommend watching their episode in Our Skyy which can be seen as a spin-off story for the same. You can also find that on gmm's yt channel here.

4. The Player

This show is if Cruel Intentions was a show about the elite class' exploitation of the poor and was also very queer. It's more along the lines of a traditional daytime soap and is hence more over the top and melodramatic. Very entertaining overall despite almost every character being super frustrating about the shitty choices they make. Tay's character is a cop that takes things way too far because of his personal involvement in the case and while the character himself is super annoying Tay does a pretty good job here. I had so much fun yelling at Tin for being a dumb bitch Nice Guy lmao. Also, Joss from 3wbf is one of the main characters and he's soooo hot in this it left me shook so that's a plus! This is another show you can watch on yt here.

5. Remember You

This is the only show on this list I haven't personally watched. You usually won't catch me recommending shows unless I've seen them but this one's a valid exception. The show is procedural drama centred around serial killers and the MC trying to catch em who has a hidden personal investment in the case. It is a thai remake of the 2015 kdrama Hello Monster. I'd watched the original soon after it finished airing and was captivated by Do Kyungsoo's (Exo's DO) performance and now, even though I wanna watch the remake for Tay, I'm worried my nostalgic loyalties towards the original will taint the experience so I haven't gotten around to it yet. Still, I hear it's a great show and Tay's performance as a loveable serial killer has been said to be quite amazing. So the show goes on the list. It's not available to watch on yt but you can find the official version on netflix and if you don't have that it should be available on sites like dramacool and kissasian.

6. I'm Tee Me Too

Moving on to some light-hearted titles- it did not occur to me how many more serious roles Tay does as compared to light, fluffy ones -we've got this mini series about 6 guys with distinct personalities who all coincidentally share the same name and end up cohabiting under the same roof. It's a short and fluffy drama centred around friendship/platonic relationships and features GMM's original three biggest BL ships OffGun, TayNew and KristSingto as the main cast. Gun's adorable dog Bibi also shows up to look cute in the background every other episode. It's a short and heart-warming watch that I recommend turning to after one of the heavier shows in the list have you reeling from all the emotions xD. You can watch it on yt here.

7. Secret Seven

While the pick your own romance vibes this teaser gives off are quite potent, beware of the show's deceptive nature. While finding a secret admirer appears to be the central plot of the story, it's really all about the platonic relationships within the show. The ensemble cast has amazing chemistry with each other and every interaction every character has with another feels wholesome and heart-warming. A love letter to love in it's many forms is what I'd call this show. While Tay is only one in a rather big ensemble cast this show is worth watching for a lot of reasons, biggest of all being Gun's character and the MC's incredible relationship. One of the best representations of platonic soulmates in my opinion. This show will leave you feeling warm and happy. Sadly, GMM privated the eps but you can still find them on sites like dramacool and kissasian.

~~~

And that's all of the shows Tay has been in that I've watched and would recommend other people watch as well. There's only one show which Tay is in- also starring Off in one of the lead roles -that I would not personally recommend and that is Girl2k. It was one of my most anticipated shows of 2020 and I waited a long time to watch it after it was pushed to feb2021 and it honestly was quite disappointing for me. I really enjoyed it at first but I felt that the show kind of wasted all the potential they'd built up with this super amazing and badass and ABSOLUTELY AROACE female lead by shifting all the focus onto a bland male lead near the end. All the romantic lines in the show were deeply disappointing and I hated how the main character's arc and growth felt cheapened by the focus on romance/love over her fighting a thousands of years old evil. You could still check it out and form your own opinions of it if you want but yeah I won't personally recommend it.

If you want you can also check out my analysis of Tay's upcoming gmm shows in these posts here and here. Hope this helps and happy watching!

Transformers: Harbingers

The Pirate Scream AU

Before I talk about it you guys are the best thank you for indulging me and my AU from this post xjdjd. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

@badlydrawntransformers @cosmic0de @warrioroffandoms @measlyfurball13 And a bonus thank you to those encouraging me in the tags as well ❤️

I plan to do art for it as well as accompanying written bits and maybe even an animatic but till then have some general info under the cut.

Also there is transformers: Prime spoilers below so open at your own risk.

TRANSFORMERS: HARBINGERS

So this AU comes from the same place many AUs heavily involving TfP Starscream come from: the unfulfilled potential in our boy Scream. Now deeper discussion of that is not gonna be in this post. It'd be a whole essay.

It also comes from just how salty I was that the Team's kindness never really benefitted them much and they kept getting slapped for it. And OP really wanted to win over a con and Starscream kept wanting a partner. ALSO ALSO Optimus was portrayed as keeping his emotions in check and then never really gets a message that it's okay to be emotional so... I'm doing that here.

And the Starscream Pirate AU was born...

Aka Transformers: Harbingers (maybe idk if it's catchy enough djjsw)

Why Harbingers? ''It's just a SHIP Starscream chills in for awhile in the show' ' I hear you say. WELL HANG ON!! I got two very good reasons!! .

First off: Starscream, with the help of some Cybertronians who he wins over one way or another (Ill get to that), help him essentially use the remains of the Harbinger to put together their own functional ship. It's smaller than the Nemesis and will take some pirate ship inspiration. While it is a hardy beast it's a bit jury rigged.

Second of all:

Imagine being a fictional character living in a ship with a name that basically means 'Foreshadowed bringer of change' and then going back to Megatron and his bullshit. I'm gonna grab this and run all the way with it. Highway to Hell just came on my Spotify so... That may be an omen.

---------

NOW LISTEN

I feel like Starscream and Optimus could really have had such an interesting dynamic but we never really got to see that in TfP and I feel cheated. Also both could have mutually benefitted a great deal.

So what do I do? I shove them together to be sorta begrudging Co-Captains. As a result there's a lot of shenanigans to be had!

How this happens OP has some run ins with cons and, through a way I'm still deciding, has the opportunity to extend a hand to Starscream. Starscream, being kindness starved, doesn't entirely know what to do about Optimus being nice to him one whole time with no sarcasm or ulterior motive and sorta starts trying to get his attention.

Starscream and his crew are a bit of their own team at this point. MEANING sort of new LOGOS!

I'm yoinking the crossed out Decepticon logo from the Dark Energon Starscream and Dark Energon Knockout toys cause I mean... It's right there and also kinda like a skull and crossbones. It fits too well guys.

Starscream essentially manages to win over the autobots enough so they can sorta make a mutually beneficial, if strained, alliance to aid their aligned goal: killing Megatron and revitalizing cyberton. This is aided by some slight changes to the plot of course. It's also a benefit, much to Ratchet's delight, since they finally get some cybertronian tech to work with.

And so they gotta work together to take Megatron out and there's much bonding moments esp later when the autobot base is destroyed. Starscream extends his hand to them and offers them a more permanent position onboard. (rubbing in how unfortunate their situation is and how this is such a big favour but he's paying Optimus back.)

And insert team dynamic stuff!! Like cons teaming up with Bots, Starscream and Optimus trying to stick with it leading their own teams but keep accidently backseat-leadering one another. I will write some other ex-con and bot dynamics cause there's a lot of chaos to be had.

Optimus doesn't open up to his crew for morale sake and masks his emotions well, and Starscream is... well Starscream is Starscream so he masks what he truly feels a lot and doesn't share a lot of personal stuff besides complaints with his team either. So there's a lot of tension.... That is until Starscream has had it at just how good a poker face Prime has.

Because he's absolutely paranoid got a harmless curiosity about Optimus's ulterior motives and wants potential dirty secrets he can use as blackmail to have power over the Prime, he essentially puts cybertronian booze (but kid friendly version of course fbejek) in Optimus's energon heavily expecting him to spill the beans when heavily drunk. What he doesn't expect is that Optimus is just... LIKE THAT to his core. He's smart but very sad and guilty. And maybe a bit weepy and exhausted cause this man has not shown an emotion for eons now. /s. Starscream doesn't know wtf to do but swayed by how earnest Optimus is he sorta softens up and does open up. Might have helped that he took a swig of the tainted energon to get on his level though. But it also helps that neither is the others subordinate so they don't need to maintain their image as badly with the Co-captain as they do their team.

The ex cons sorta accidently absorb some of the autobot's morals over time. The cons help the autobots have some fun. There's a lot of stuff learned both ways. Also the cons realize how cool humans can be and after a lot of argument and forced time spent with the kids, they want to protect earth too.

Starscream, helps Optimus open up a bit more and allow himself to be emotional. He also shows him how to be a little selfish. Optimus in turn helps him with self confidence and making friends. Both help each other with the shit Megatron put em both through and overall boost one another up. (This also does change the start of the war a bit but I'll get to that in another post.)

Miko tries to fight all of the cons at first but quickly changes her tune cause "BOOYAH PIRATE CONS!!"

Other bits about this AU:

Starscream will eventually get a slight design change. It'll be less scrappy and look more confident and put together. It'll be minor

Because they are on a flying ship but have less energon than the Nemesis, everyone gets equipped with mods for flight. There is a jetpack upgrade one can get or Knockout can straight up help change their alt mode surgically.

I'm working up a list of who gets what flight mod but... Ya'll should know that Wheeljack dares Knockout to make him into a flying car. Largely cause I just got the image of Wheeljack flying above vehicons and just turning into a car and dropping on them. That and driving up the side of the Nemesis and confusing the fuck out of Megatron. Out of all the characters you know that would be a Wheeljack thing.

Arcee and Knockout grieve together.

Knockout loves bugging the hell out of Ratchet. It's extra fun for him cause Ratchet often can't do shit about it since they both need the room and tools.

Knockout and Wheeljack become an insufferable duo with the nicknames they have for everyone.

Wheeljack won't leave Starscream alone and keeps coming up with worse and worse nicknames like he did with Ratchet.

Starscream and Ratchet become complaining buddies.

STARSCREAM'S SEEKER SQUAD REJOINS. Well some of them. Skywarp, Thundercracker and maybe other peeps.

Miko manages to befriend Skywarp and Bulkhead now has to watch both Miko AND Skywarp. Wheeljack refuses to help Bulkhead round them up.

Raf hits it off with Thundercracker.

Knockout: "FINALLY a team with fragging MANNERS!"

Instead of Beeftimus Prime from the forge, Optimus actually gets access to a third alt mode and.. Idk something else primely. So he actually gets wings.

Starscream and the other fliers are greatly amused because Optimus, as great as he is at his poker face most of the time, hasn't yet figured out how to not emote with the pair of wings he gets from the forge. Thundercracker is the one who eventually informs him while the rest of the crew are booing loudly in the background.

I actually do have designs of TFP Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Ironhide in the works.

Fowler and Starscream have insult battles. Oddly both grow a weird almost fondness for these verbal sparring sessions

They frequently raid the Nemesis

Miko keeps talking in a pirate voice. Smokescreen has joined her.

AND A LOT OF OTHER STUFF I'LL GET INTO WITH MORE DETAIL AND ART. I'll also talk more in depth about some of these things that isn't a ramble like this post is. xnwjskw.

Feel free to ask about anything you're curious about.

[annaizscribbling]

18 for the ask game ^_^

18. How does your OC feel about education? How much education do they have? Are they studious or a slacker?

Firstly, thank you for so many asks!!! This is so fun, you didn't specify one in particular so I'll do em all. Sorry this is so late

Athena: She’s complicated because she was an excellent student as a kid. She had almost perfect marks for her entire education, but it def ruined her. Between her parents, teachers, friends, and relatives, there was an immense pressure to be preform well that slowly created a very complicated relationship between herself and her achievements. She loves and supports learning and education, but doesn’t really like the current American education system, or the way kids in it are treated. She has a college degree in English that she utilizes as a full time author. In other words, she’s studious and completely burnt out lmao

Luna: Luna hated school. She hated being there, she hated talking to people, she hated being looked at, and she hated the pressure of tests and deadlines. She didn’t always hate the topics, she found science rad and didn’t mind a decent percentage of the books they had to read. Luna was pretty sharp, but her homelife greatly interfered with her grades. Teachers knew she was smart, but troubled, and both Luna and her mother managed to evade any real investigations. She switched rapidly from great student to terrible to great again

Bree: Okay Bree wasn’t exactly an attentive student. She’s pretty meh on education in general, do it girlboss or whatever idk sorta mood. She doesn’t really try unless she finds it interesting. She wasn’t much of a reader, she hated math, and she really just suffered through school until she had theater. She loved socializing and really loved when she had classes with Ellie, but she was a bit of a slacker in school.

Ellie: She was a hard worker in school, who greatly enjoyed group projects (insane I know) and art class (not that she was good at it) and she was always loved by her teachers and classmates. She’s really supportive of education and adapting it to the individual.

Calypso: Calypso sees education as mostly a tool. She was very smart, and picked up on things and the basics of modern education pretty easily, so school in general wasn’t too necessary. She doesn’t technically have a high school degree even (though she did attend college here in there on jobs. Excellent marks)

I’m throwing in the guys too why not.

Daniel: Enjoyed school more or less, loved playing football and volunteering through the school. He had pretty average marks and didn’t hate it, especially history class, he enjoyed.

Seven: Seven was an edgy little sht who was quite smart, but way too distracted by his own emo-ness. He was a loner going thru it, often too occupied to keep up with school. He struggled with connections and deadlines, making it hard to stay motivated in high school, but he thrived in college. Some therapy, some friends, and a ton of hard work helped him grow into a pretty well adjusted adult. Still emo (but like olive green emo, if u feel me) and just a chill dude. He looks back at the actual learning part pretty happily. He sucks at math tho.

Jonathan: Jonathan was shipped off to a fancy boarding school as a kid. He endlessly tried to escape and run off, to the point of getting sent home. He hated school, but mostly out of resentment towards his father. He ended up being some form of homeschooled, working with tutors and online work. He devoted many hours of his time to studying their massive library and could rarely be found without a textbook in his hands. He ended up graduating at 16 and moving out the following year, all out of pure spite. His views on education are complicated, and he knows he’s biased.

[roxy206]

okay so here’s some tea about the whole trixya ship as an idea and the thought of them being in a relationship.

i’m not blind so i obviously understand the tension and affection and emotion they both have or do do experience for each other. BUT. i’ve been in a similar friendship where things got really really close to happening but never made it to the point where it had a chance to flourish because that person had experienced traumas that made it hard for h to em to truly accept affection and commitment. because of that, attempting to rekindle that and push it further now would be absolutely unbearably awkward and painful AND the other party is now in a serious relationship. In life i’ve always been a katya, and it’s so ironic that i eventually had a trixie in my life.

another really important detail is that the battle with recovery and addiction is an insane rollercoaster. ripples in the recovery process happen all the time and if you don’t have a concept of addiction it can be very hard to work through that without hurting yourself or the other person. it can also be hard to void yourself of the responsibility in instances of relapse, especially if you’ve never had a connection with addiction. idk.

i’d love to see them happy. and i’d love for that happiness to stem from them being together, but there are just so many roadblocks that would have to be aolmost completely obliterated before it would be compatible and healthy, i think.

i’d love to hear your thoughts on this!!

I’ve mentioned a few times that I think it would have been a complete disaster if T & K had been romantically involved previously. I think T’s ability to wait things out, to just want to see K be okay & to be there for her, is really something special. And I don’t know how that all would have gone if there was more to their relationship at the time, so I’m glad it’s not something that was a piece of it back then

And I’ve also mentioned that I think they both have work to do before I think they would be in a spot to really go for it. You mentioned a friend with trauma who had trouble with commitment & I think that’s a glaring issue here

But I don’t think that they need to be fully healed if they were to enter a relationship & have it be healthy & successful

Life is messy & complex & scary … & short. I think that if both parties have been putting in the work & were continuing to put in the work, that’s a great & healthy base. Because there’s some shit that takes time or that might always be part of someone — sometimes there’s a point where you have to meet people where they are when they mean that much to you & continue to figure out together how to support each other

I think T & K have a friendship that’s already more intimate than a lot of other friendships. I think there’s already a really strong foundation of trust & a lot of good building blocks

But I do think K probably looks at T & all of the things T has been through, the way T responds to things, & probably does sit there & think maybe therapy is a good idea. K has been on this huge self journey — is still on it — & she deserves & needs (& likely wants) someone who is also committed to a focus on mental health

I would like to think K asking T in a pod episode whether she’s ever been to therapy was part of a plan to gently direct T to come up with the idea of going herself

Because honestly even if nothing were to happen down the line, you want to see the people you love happy & healthy & thriving in all aspects of their life

[meetmeatthecoda]

Okay Coda, don't be upset with me because I do believe in lizzington 100%... but I've been seeing some very convincing rederina theories.

The thing is, I think each writer has yanked our (the viewers) attention multiple directions except maybe Bokenkamp. He seems lizzington deep down. Anyway, while rederina could be plausible, I can't reconcile the romantic insinuations and comments from Red and even from Liz......... and Aram, and Ressler, and the knowing and LOUD expressions from Samar with her quiet lips. I think Cooper has had questions and thoughts... as have countless blacklisters.

Help Coda, I'm so confused 😕 I don't even watch the show anymore. I haven't gone past early/mid season 6 if that far.

Also, um, what ya been up to? 🙃 Not to discount your life away from Tumblr and ao3, but I'm excited about reading new content! 😄😁

Hi there, anon!! 😍 Awww, I could never be upset with you, my friend, not to worry!! Besides, I fully understand what it's like to feel conflicted over this show... I think we've definitely all been there!! 🤗 I'm very touched you're coming to me with these feelings & I'm happy to share my thoughts on the topic!! I hope maybe they can bring you a little bit of peace!! Also, I'm going to put them under a read more cause we all know how I get when asked about R*derina 😂 Okay, here we go:

So. These theories & whatnot that you're worried about don't bother me at all because, simply put? The writers lost all credibility when they killed Liz. And, if you ask me, the best part about not watching the show anymore? We don't have to pay attention to what they're doing now! And let's be real, they went off the reservation a long time ago. That's reason enough for me to not consider anything they say or do now to be canon, especially not in the context of the whole story, & especially given that they no longer have the original creator (Bokencamp, who - I agree with you - always seemed team Lizzington to me) or literally half of the original cast. And you're absolutely right, there's so much undeniable proof for - at the very least - a STRONG, STRONG case for Lizzington - I mean, everything you listed, the looks, the comments, the subtext, the filming, the FUCKING PILOT SCRIPT - that to me, the bottom line is: If they can turn their back on their original endgame, then we can turn our backs on the retconned one. And yeah, some people might say that I'm only ignoring the canon that I don't like & doesn't support my ship which is UnTrUe To ThE sHoW or AgAiNsT fAnDoM rULeS or some shit & hey, that may be. But you know what? I'm fine with that. Because it's all fictional media & media is meant for entertainment & escaping from real life. And the best part about escapism in the form of fictional media? If it doesn't spark joy, then you can throw it the fuck out!!! And R*derina don't spark no joy for Coda 🙃🙃🙃 So... fuck 'em, honestly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ But yeah, my strategy is simply "assume anything that doesn't check out with previous canon is a retcon & therefore inadmissible in the fandom court of shipping laws." I don't know if that helps at all, anon, but I hope it does, especially since you're not watching the show anymore, just like me & many of us surviving Lizzington shippers!! I would simply recommend not worrying about the crap they've spewed past season 8 7 6 3A - even if they try to confirm R*derina in the end - & instead enjoy the Lizzington proof & moments & beauty we were graced with while it lasted. Sometimes straight-up denial & sticking to your beliefs are the way to go 🥲🥲

Other that ^THAT^ lol, I've been quite well, thank you for asking, dear anon!! 🥰 And might I add that I so appreciate your respect for my #real life away from tumblr & AO3 bc - as irritating as it can be - I do have one LOL & it can get busy just like everyone else's, of course, & idk, I just really appreciated the way you worded that, so thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 To answer your question in unspecific terms, I'm currently starting the process of going back to music school after a pandemic/personal health break to do some post-grad work. But, of course, a musician's life is not an easy one & the process takes time - especially after a break like I've had - so it's slow-going at the moment... But I'm chugging along with it & excited to get back to my passion of making music!! 😊 And, of course, I'm hoping to have more time to write in the coming days as I settle into a hopefully more productive real life routine, & bc I know I will need the stress relief of fic. I'm very excited to get down to work on Halcyon & hopefully bring you new content as soon as possible!! And of course I'm so flattered that you're looking forward to it!! Granted, it will be a while... I have just under 12k so far with just the beginning bits & my outline is only growing... sooo I think it's safe to say this will be my longest, most ambitious fic project to date. But I certainly hope it will be worth the wait - for both you & me!! 😂 Anyway, I think I've blabbed on for long enough, so the only thing left is to thank you so much for your kind & lovely ask!! I hope my response did something to help you feel a little better about things & I promise to have new Lizzington fic out as soon as I can!! Thank you again, sweet anon, & much, much love to you always, my friend!! 😍🥰❤️

[ninjago-confesshions-blog]

im so sorry man my phone broke and i had to get a new one and i lost all my notes i had to turn into confessions 😭 anyway,,, may i ask what YOUR hcs are?? bc im interested i wanna know

-🌸

for all the ninja or just cole? ya know what, have all of em bestie!!

------

Kai:

- 5'11 so about average height

- Amber Eyes

- Cuban features, very pretty brown skin

- He has a very athletic build. He's tall, and slender, although he's pretty jacked. think of what a marathon runner looks like. Yeah he's got that body type.

-Legs for days.

-BRACES!!! I'm sorry I just LOVE guys with braces and I think Kai would look adorable with braces. Here's my explanation, he has an overbite that didn't get fixed till he was an adult due to obvious reasons, and it caused complications, so he's gotta have braces. He's SUPER insecure about them but his boyfriends (yes I ship polyninja) find them adorable.

-Pansexual. If he finds you hot he finds you hot, no doubt about it.

-Cis male, he/him

-Kai has a naturally higher body temp than normal people, making him quite popular for cuddles in the winter time. Although unfortunately, that means he's absolutely miserable in the summer time. He has to take a lot of precautions in the summer to make sure that he doesn't collapse from heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

-SUPER into fashion and fashion design. I headcanon that he had to sew a lot of their own clothes when it was just him and Nya because it was cheaper, and he actually ended up loving it. So, he saved up some leftover cash and bought a couple of fashion magazines sometime in his early tweens/teens, and FELL IN LOVE!! He got invested into he world of fashion, and now he's basically a fashion guru. He's always got an outfit for every occasion, and doesn't mind giving his friends fashion help or advice. He even made Jay an entire Fritz Donnigan cosplay for Comic Con (or whatever Ninjago's equivalent is) -Also my boy can drum! Yeah shocker I know, but for some reason I have always loved the idea of Kai being a really good drummer. I think it's because he reminds me a lot of my friend in real life who's a drummer. But yeah, he's a really good drummer.

-------

Cole:

-------

- 6'2, my mans is TALL

- beautiful dark brown eyes <3

-Indian features, beautiful dark brown skin

-This man is a bear if I've ever seen one. He's big, he's strong, and he's got that amazing dad bod that we all love.

-Gay man

-Cis man, he/him

-He's autistic! He's really sensitive to noise, and sudden loud noises can give him panic attacks. His special interests are art and music theory.

-He has REALLY high empathy levels, and he's really sensitive. He just hates to show it because he was raised with the idea of "Boys don't cry" He's been taught to hide his emotions, so that's what he does. But in reality, he's a really sensitive dude. As time went on, and as he worked more and more with Sensei Wu, he learned that emotions weren't a bad thing. They're what make people human, and over time he became very emotionally mature, and in tune with his own feelings.

- He's got tattoos. Idk what I love about tattoos on guys, but I think they're just incredibly attractive and cool. He doesn't get them to look tough though. He gets them because he thinks that it's a cool form of art, and he wants to take part in it. Some tattoos mean a lot to him, and some he just got because he wanted to put a cool piece of art on his body. His favorite tattoo was the first one he ever got. It's a tattoo of a lily in honor of his mother.

-PIERCINGS!!!!! He's got gauges as well as an eyebrow piercing. He also has snake bites.

-My boy is a really good artist, he just refuses to admit it. He has so many sketchbooks filled to the brim with doodles and sketches. He will literally die if anybody looks through them though.

-AMAZING guitar and bass player. He's never been one for performing, but he loves to play on his own. Whenever he's stressed out he'll pluck out a bass line or a guitar riff, and then all is well.

-Huge poet. He loves to write songs and poetry in his free time, and he has an entire notebook full of little songs and poems. He's been doing it since he was very little, and he often writes in times of distress as a coping mechanism. The only other person he's shared them with is Kai, just because they've been together the longest. All of his poems are very personal to him, and he pours his heart out into each and every single one.

-Yeah, despite being pressured to perform his entire life, he does have a genuine love and respect for the arts. He just hates being forced. He'd rather do things on his own terms rather than being forced to do them, and once he got away from his dad, his love for the arts began to return. Although, no matter how much time passes, he will always hate performing. Although, he doesn't mind making an exception for his boyfriends.

-HUGE dog lover. He feels like dogs just fit his vibe. He likes cats too ofc, he loves all animals, but he loves dogs the most. His favorite type are big dogs you can just wrap your arm around. His favorite breed is the Newfoundland.

- His aesthetic is very grunge. He wears a lot of old band tees and ripped jeans. He also doesn't mind wearing a spiked bracelet every once in a while too.

-His favorite form of expression is music. He loves to listen to it, and he has a playlist for about every feeling, experience, or idea out there.

- He developed his love for soft rock through his mother. When he was little, they'd listen to the soft rock station together whenever they had the time.

-----

Jay

-----

-5'6, he's short lmao

- Jay is very thin, but he's very lean. He was basically made for speed and agility. He's not very strong, but his wits and quick feet easily make up for it. He defeats his foes by outsmarting them, and throwing them off balance.

- Irish features. This dude is as pale as paper in my eyes. If he steps out into the sun he needs to put on like 4 layers of sunscreen or else he practically disintegrates. Although he's built up a real nice tan due to all his time spent outside working on the bounty and other various projects of his.

- VERY green eyes. Very vibrant.

- Bisexual, but no specific preference. He doesn't really care for labels, so he just chose Bisexual for simplicity's sake

-Trans FTM, he/him.

-His parents were very supportive, and he was able to transition young. Nobody knows his deadname, and he's never gonna reveal it.

- AMAZING singer. He's got the voice of an angel. He just hates singing in front of people lol.

-He LOVES pastel kawaii fashion. Lots of oversized pastel hoodies in his closet.

Yeah I don't have a lot of headcanons for Jay I'm sorry :/ I never really got that emotionally attached to him, so I don't really have a lot of headcanons for our boi (Don't get me wrong I still love him tho he's adorable!!)

-----

Zane:

-----

-6'3, the tallest of the ninja.

-Very tall and slender, although very athletic build just like Kai. Think of what a marathon runner or basketball player's build might look like. That's Zane.

-Don't really have a specific ethnic HC for Zane because when I imagine him in my mind, I only really see his robot form and not his human disguise. Like, I just see his titanium robot form but human lol.

- His eyes are fuckin beautiful. Bright electronic blue, and they glow.

-Panromantic Asexual, although not sex repulsed.

-Non binary, he/they

-Autistic! His special interest is birds. He's sensitive to bright flashing lights.

-His aesthetic is very light/dark academia. He loves to wear white button down shirts with beige sweater vests.

-Much like Cole, he's a poet. He loves to write poetry in his spare time, and he loves to read his poems to his boyfriends.

-He doesn't cook because he feels obligated to at all. He just genuinely loves cooking. Cole often times will step up to cook dinner himself, but Zane always says that he can handle it, and that he would rather cook instead.

-Huge bookworm. He adores reading and would much rather curl up with a good book than watch a movie.

ladling out a bowlful of hubris as I do the fanfic asks game even though I’ve been taking a writing hiatus this whole spring and summer

thank you for the tag @heavens-bookshop!

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

14. I tend to leave shorter stuff (<2500 words) on tumblr, but I have several works on Ao3 shorter than my longest tumblr ficlets

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

143,641. someday I’d like to write a fic that’s longer than that. baby steps

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

...it’s pretty much all Good Omens. back in early 2019 I wrote a few bits and pieces of (MCU) Thor fanfic, but GO is the only thing I’ve published!

4) What are your top five fics by kudos?

Anthony J. Crowley, Retired Demon and Airbnb Superhost (3k, G)

Exactly what it says on the tin, in fake review format

A Visit to the Pet Shop (2k, T)

Outside POV of the herp supply store owner who encounters Crowley and Aziraphale

In Mixed Company, Or the Corporate Retreat of Heaven and Hell (52k, M)

Continuing the trend of spelling the whole fic premise in the title. it delights and amuses me to no end that this one is included in the collection “Fics in which Gabriel doesn’t suck”

Come Adore on Bended Knee (and Other Ways to Make an Angel Rejoice) (5k, M)

Friends to mutual blowjobs speedrun, Christmas edition

There Were Angels Dining at the Ice Cream Parlour (2k, T)

My first fic from back in the heady summer days of 2019

All of these are from the time the fandom was just straight up bigger, but looking at patterns among my own fics it seems like weird formats, smut, and very long and specific titles tend to do well, all of which Checks Out

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try! I feel like a goof writing replies, but I am super grateful for them and I do attempt to respond, albeit erratically. I don’t usually reply to comments that are just a few words or emojis, not because I don’t appreciate them, but because I feel a little obnoxious writing a thank you that’s longer than the comment??? idk I’m probably overthinking it

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

SO when I first started writing fanfic, I thought I was going to write all unresolved pining historical fics all the time, and accordingly, my first chaptered fic, A House in the Country, is a melancholy 1920-set slice of life in which Aziraphale and Crowley take a trip to the Lake District and pine for each other. I don’t think it’s super angsty but it ends on a somber note

7) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I was going to say no, but then I remembered one of my absolute favorite things I’ve written is technically a Good Omens/Macbeth crossover

8) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope!

9) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes, inclined towards “lots of foreplay and then a weird but hopefully suggestive sequence of metaphors, all in some kind of Uncertain and Forbidden Situation”

10) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No I keep my fics locked in my fic safe and u can’t have em

11) Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!!

12) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, not yet

13) What’s your all time favourite ship?

Aziraphale/Crowley, definitely. Also shoutout to Hermione/Ron and Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy...apparently my type is Person Who Excelled At Formal Education/Redhead, And They Argue A Lot

14) What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

hey hey hey I am going to finish both of my Good Omens WIPs! I do have an unpublished horror comedy WIP that I’d like to post around Halloween but am completely stuck on because I can’t decide what it should be rated, so I may use parts of that for other things if I can't pick a tone

15) What are your writing strengths?

*Mike Wazowski voice* These are the jokes, kid

I’d also say I can write sexual stuff that is not repetitive and dialogue that sounds in character. Oh, and I genuinely enjoy writing titles and summaries!

16) What are your writing weaknesses?

besides…not writing…

On a structural level, I have a tendency to take too long getting to first plot beats and then rush endings. On a sentence level I think I have a terminal case of Dependent Clause Disease that genuinely interferes with clarity

17) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

No real thoughts other than whenever I am reading an old book and someone says something in gratuitous French or one of the 12 expressions I know in Latin I feel very Smart bc the fifth grade snob lives within me

18) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

It’s been so interesting seeing responses to this question from people who have been writing fic since their early teens or childhood! I didn’t write any fanfic before 2019 or any fiction at all except for school projects. I wrote maybe 1k words of Thor fanfic that summer and then went straight on to Good Omens

19) What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

In Mixed Company, for sure. I’m hopeful that when I finish current WIPs it’ll be Lest They Be Flatmates though!

tagging @lenore-is-lost and @mllekurtz if you'd like, and anybody else who sees this post!

You're asked to choose one and only one or DC's future stops existing immediately. your choices:

1. Jason Todd the anti-hero who seldom works with only a couple of the bats he doesn't hate, for example Dick and Cass VS. Jason Todd who came back with healed body but broken spirit, folded back into the Gotham gang and learns to be part of the society again.

2. Tim Drake who makes all of his mistakes as canon but realizes he's been wrong and apologizes to people VS. Tim Drake back in his first iteration, a cute little brother character who is a reader insert and a fun teenager.

3. JayKyle VS DickKyle.

4. Jason Todd with a sword VS. Damian Wayne with a sword.

5. Chris Kent VS. Jon kent.

Okay but which DC future? Its omniversal future? Its hypertime future? Its multiversal future? Its Elseworlds future? Its dark multiverse future? Mwahahaha your threat is useless because the sheer wtf of DC's continuities, timelines and conflicting declarations of what to even call their multiomnihyperverse makes it impossible to target simply A future! DC's overly unnecessarily complicated nature renders it functionally immortal and impossible to ever truly destroy, take that Darkseid.

I mean. But anyway. Whatevs:

1) I honestly do prefer the idea of Jason someday fully reuniting/reintigrating into the Batfam as a whole, because fuck it, the found family I'm here for is the one where they actually act like a family....I just think it takes actual work to get to that point and I get irey when people are like we're here! We found it! And its like meanwhile, abusive dynamics still abound. Mmm. No thank you. But even though I've been on a huge Jason and Dick and Cass kick for like, forever, I do still aim for him having a dynamic of his own with the rest of the family.

Like the thing is, I hate playing the favorites card in families, and I think the emphasis on so and so being Bruce's favorite child or so and so being this kid's favorite sibling, etc, like it really does feel like to the detriment of the whole family, because once you start validating the idea of favorites, ESPECIALLY in a found family that is CONTINUOUSLY growing....I think you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot because you're kinda creating a situation where either no future new additions to the family can EVER be Bruce or one of the kids' 'favorite' or else you're innately positing that said fave status is conditional and even a current fave of Bruce or a sibling can be bumped down the ladder by the addition of a later arrival....

Which is LITERALLY the entire essence of the eternal conflict between Dick and Damian and Tim fans. Its not even that Damian is Dick's favorite, allegedly, its that prior to Damian's very EXISTENCE, fans felt comfortable declaring Tim unilaterally to be Dick's 'favorite'.....and then all it took was the addition of a single family member who had specific NEEDS in regards to Dick's attention and focus, largely because of his age and needing a legal guardian while Tim was old enough to literally jet set around the world on his own.....and like, everything went up in flames in large corners of fandom.

So I'm just like, death to the fave family member myth, its just incredibly counter productive to the idea of found family as a whole especially when it usually only exists to prop up a preferred character as better than others via the proof of see, these other characters say he's their fave or whatever...but also like, its not even necessary?

Because the thing is, you can have Jason reintegrated into the whole family overall, and still prioritize your personal narrative FOCUS on characters you like more than others, like say Dick and Cass.....because of course its natural for even people in the same family to have entirely different DYNAMICS with different family members....and these dynamics don't have to come with a ranking system in order to prioritize which ones you just focus on more in a story. Because its not necessarily that Dick has to be Jason's fave brother, y'know, just for Jason to prefer spending time with Dick simply because he's more comfortable with him due to knowing him longer or being more secure in the idea that Dick doesn't judge him based on their greater shared history.

This doesn't mean that Jason doesn't care for his other siblings, that he can't have strong dynamics with them as well, its just about finding a reason for why these two specifically might be in a story without the others that doesn't demand putting a definitive ranking on which one Jason considers his FAVE. Just like Damian doesn't have to be Dick's FAVE just for them to have the super close canon relationship they have, even relative to the other siblings, because there's everything needed in canon already to establish that the mere fact of Dick essentially RAISING Damian for a year, and being the first one in the family to really take a chance on Damian, like, this lends itself naturally to them maybe more naturally gravitating towards each other than other siblings due to comfort level and familiarity, etc, but it doesn't have to be like....oh but yeah, I just like Damian more than you, Tim, y'know?

So my answer on this one is a total cop out of both, both is good. Jason totally reintegrated back into the family, but with dynamics that still lend themselves fairly easily towards story lineups where its just him running missions with Dick or Duke or any other one or two specific family members even if for no other reason than they gel together best in the field, y'know?

2) Hmm. I honestly really do love and miss 90s Tim Drake and just....don't see him in a lot of what I read these days. I'm like no, why did he have to go, he was doing so well! BUT I'm also on a big accountability kick, and like, I'm so steeped in fics where Dick GROVELS for forgiveness for every little slight he's ever done real or imagined, with every character but Tim in particular, so its like.....I'm not gonna lie, I really have a preference these days for seeing stuff where its literally anyone actually owning up to shit they've done to Dick and apologizing or groveling or making it to HIM, like, completely unconditionally. In the same manner we usually see Dick apologizing, glossing over any reasons he might have had for doing what he did or feeling the way he did, and saying oh it doesn't matter, putting the entirety of his focus on what HE did and why it was wrong no matter what and he's sorry.....that's what I would kill to see from more fics, just in reverse.

Because so often even in the all too rare fics where we DO see other characters apologizing to Dick for shit, its watered down with Dick volunteering that oh he messed up too, it was a two way street, and its like no! This is Pettiness Hours! I want the unconditional apologies! Give me the groveling! From anyone, I don't care at this point, lol, just show me characters actually PUTTING IN THE WORK to make it up to Dick for harm they've caused him, even if completely unintentionally or via neglecting his feelings or considering the repercussions their actions or words would have on him. Aaaaaaand, frankly, Tim's a good place to start there, because of how one sided all the takes on their conflicts have been for so many years. I mean, if people need a place to start, Batman and Robin Eternal gets enough praise it can't be pretended that people in fandom don't know that story exists, so how about some stories where Tim says he's fucking sorry for punching Dick in issue #4 or #5 of that one, and it was uncalled for and he was clearly just looking for an excuse to unleash some more of his resentment and upset for the Spyral/Forever Evil stuff, and family deciding that its totally okay to punch Dick whenever they're mad at him and need to work off some aggression so they can then finally forgive him (for now) is a trend that needs to die in a fire post-haste? I mean just as an example.

But the thing that kills me about fanfic trends is like....the sameness of so much of it. There's SO much room for variety and diverse takes, and like....I don't actually hate Tim! I'm just cranky because of the imbalanced nature of most content out there for literal years at this point. Push the pendulum BACK in the other direction, create some balance by showing the flip side of things.....and that leaves a lot more room for me and others of like minds to then be more amenable to - and even interested in - other stories that don't scratch this particular itch, but don't need to, because other stories are doing the scratching by then, y'know?

And THEN like, at that point, I would be ALL FOR more stories that are just callbacks to classic 90s Tim who I adore, with his skateboarding and his EARNESTNESS and his go-get-em spirit and also the gumption. All the gumption. I like that Tim. I do miss that Tim. But like, for the moment, like, I want accountable Tim because I am tiiiiiiiired of groveling Dick and tbh at this point its not enough for me to just see people move past putting Dick in that position and just have mutually respective and doting brothers Dick and Tim having adventures together......nah, first I want some reciprocation. Ngl. Gimme the apologies for actual mistakes actually made.

3) DickKyle. Easy question, c'mon, you gotta know that. LOL. ;)

But yeah, I've been shipping these two off their like, two shared pages from way back in the Obsidian Age story years before Jason even returned, let alone was in Countdown together with Kyle, so like, its no contest. I don't mind JayKyle, I certainly prefer it to JayRoy tbh, but there's not a ton of appeal in it for me, particularly in how its usually depicted, because like....the entire basis of JayKyle is that they DO have stories together and spent a whole year worth of weekly issues traveling the multiverse together in Countdown.....but there's like, practically no trace of their actual dynamics from that series or any specifics of literally any issue from that entire comic in most fics I’ve read, so its like.....idk, it tends to come across as more generic, not in the sense that it cant still be interesting, but more in the sense that it feels like just someone paired with Jason just because history between them EXISTS without any interest in exploring what that history actually IS....and at that point, its like, well there's no reason TO prioritize that ship over DickKyle for me personally, when like, I have a shit ton of headcanon reasons for why those two in a pairing specifically. *Shrugs* My logic. Its not for everyone, but it works for me.

4) Jason with a sword or Damian with a sword? I don't understand the question. Both. Both is good. All the characters should have swords. Swords are awesome.

5) Chris Kent vs Jon Kent - oof. I adore Jon, I really do. I love his dynamic with Damian, I love a lot of their specific stories, the parallels between them as friends and Bruce and Clark as friends....its all very bien. But I gotta give this one to Chris, because I'm always gonna have a soft spot for him because I'm a sucker for all abused kid heroes, and I just miss that funky little dude so much. There's so many stories we didn't get with him and were just ripe for the picking, but nooooo, DC's like lol you can't have nice things, here we just rebooted the entire multiverse and now Clark and Lois never adopted the son of Clark's worst Kryptonian rival and raised him with tender love and care awww does that make you sad, were you invested in him, WELL TOO BAD, HE'S GONE NOW AND BASICALLY NEVER EXISTED, NOW GIVE US YOUR MONEY ANYWAY MWAHAHAHAHAH.

Yeah. I'm still not over that. Probably will never be tbh, so I with great grudge-bearing do affirm that I'm gonna go with Chris on this one and like, he is a Priority for me and I'm still very keen on the idea of him and Duke being besties for random reasons that might not make sense to anyone but me, but eh, whatever.

JUZA FOR THE ASK GAME and also banri please!! Thx in advance

AHHH,, THANK YOU!!! 💕💞 gonna do em as two separate posts for ease!! ^^/

In reference to this post !! (feel free to send an ask!)

Character: juza hyodo

Favourite thing about them

Oh gosh,, where to start. I love his dedication to and passion for acting. Especially after Fallen Blood when he realised that he isn't at fault for how he was treated and that being himself is not a negative, after years of being shunned, and that his drive can take him so far without having to do anything different. I love how he's a big softie - he cares so much about his fellow troupemates and family!! When he bought muku an entire chocolate cake just to do something nice and let the rest of mankai share it with them ough... ♡ I love how even despite his insecurities and uncertainty, he still tries his damned hardest at every performance because that's all he's ever wanted. I love his fashion sense (yes, even the sandals fight me), how it progressed from pretty dark, unassuming colours and pretty loose and breathable because he didn't wanna draw any unnecessary attention in fear of drawing fights but allowed him room should he absolutely need to defend himself to more casual, colourful and comfortable clothes because he has mankai around him now (think the HAGT fit). I love his whole design actually,, he has pretty eyes and lovely hair and how his colour scheme is the non-binary flag (I'm biased). I love that he opens his heart so quickly to the mankai members once he realises that they accept him for who he is - that he goes to school with tenma and taichi, and he'll go for bike rides with omi and cares so much about sakyo he'll follow him around to make sure he's okay. Everything about juza hyodo is wonderful.

Least favourite thing about them

Nothing he is, in fact, perfect. (/j, king please stop leaving your dirty laundry out in your room. Banri doesn't often have good points, but I know this man uses 19 in one body wash/shampoo/conditioner on top of being one of the shortest bath takers and i think he needs to not do that)

Favourite line

brOTP

O HIGH BOYS SUPREMACY !!! Him, taichi and tenma just all play so well off of each other and i would die for them all. I also really love omi and juzas dynamic, how omi encourages juza to do his best (Fallen Blood still got me crying) and juza allows omi to grieve and heal and assure him that he's a good friend. They're very sweet besties. I'd love love love to see more Juza and Guy interactions?? Not sure whether jp has explored any of that BUT I think two dudes who have had to repress a large part of themselves for a lot of their lives finally finding acceptance and comfort would be super interesting to explore. The way they both had duties to their family in a way and had to leave to protect them is just. Ough. Let them go fishing together or smth idk.

OTP

Me juban juban juban juban-

Fr,, this ship is so good and i love it so much. The enemies to lovers, the rivals, the "It's your fault I finally found something that gets me fired up", the "muse" of it all ough..

nOTP

Omi and juza. Listen, I know its technically okay in jp with ages and stuff,, but it still kinda makes me 😬 also the fact juza also looks and acts exactly like omis best friend who passed is just a lil too much for me. I see it much more as a mentor kinda thing, Omi getting a chance to rectify the mistakes he made in his youth to try to steer juza onto the path he wants aough..

Random headcanon

AMBIDEXTROUS JUZA,, I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. I swear I had more but I forgor ♡

Unpopular opinion

The entire fandom loves juza understandably because really who wouldn't, but popular fanon juza who's just a himbo who loves sweets and banri is. Not it. Like you can have him as a shallow character and that's okay but stating with your whole chest that's all he is makes me go insane bonkers absolutely crazy.

Song I associate them with

So so many ... I'll name a few ...

Cheerios and Chocolate Milk by Theo Kandel

Starjumper by Bad Suns

Tired Eyes and Heavy Hearts by The Gospel Youth

Nights Like These by The Ghost Club

Confidence by Oscar Scheller

Favourite pic of them

This is literally my favourite image ever he's just so fucking head empty ♡ when this card came to en I saved up enough for 5 ten pulls, he didn't come home and my roommate got 2 copies in his first 10 pull 😐 but! Event reward gems came through and I actually managed to get one before it shut down ♡

TY AGAIN GOMPER FOR THE ASK ILY 💞

[disaster-j]

Hi, I'm completely new to BL shows, just started Not Me and I love it!! So I wanted to ask what your favorite BL shows are, to get deeper into the genre, maybe some featuring Gun? He really stands out, I like him a lot. Thank you!!

Hiii! I made a BL rec list for my more obscure faves recently but as always tumblr hates me and is pretending it doesn't exist so I'm making a new one :))) since you're new here I'll just include all of my top faves atm, in no particular order-

(Note that this is just the shows I personally really loved and isn't meant to be an objective ranking. If your faves aren't on here don't take it personally.)

1. Theory of Love - Thai BL

It's my all time favourite BL and I think it will always occupy the top spot on the list for me. This was the show that made me fall in love with romance as a genre. It's such a well executed story that really explores love in it's many forms and was back then one of the first times I watched a romance and felt that I understood exactly why the main characters loved each other so much. A lot of people have differing opinions on this show but for me it's almost perfect. It's also an OffGun bl so if you're craving Gun's acting this will satisfy that for sure. They're both great in this.

2. A Tale of a Thousand Stars - Thai BL

Another great romance imo. Not an OffGun show but the main leads had incredible chemistry. The story was a bit clichéd at times but in a way that was very enjoyable. I liked the slow burn build up of their relationship and the heavier moments really added some much needed depth to the whole narrative. Watching this show as it aired was a great experience and Tian will forever be one of my all time favourite thai characters.

3. 3 Will Be Free - not a BL but a must watch

This was one of the first thai shows I ever watched and it will forever be one of my faves. The story is about three people from very different worlds ending up on the run from the mafia together and ending up falling in love. No shitty triangles tho, ot3 all the way! Mild, my favourite thai actress, is so iconic in this and it's Jennie's best role for sure. Everything about this show was amazing, iconic, never been done before, best thing ever!!!

4. Bad Buddy - Thai BL

Now this one is a bit... idk if you look at my posts on the show near the end it'll seem like I don't care for it. The ending wasn't what I'd hoped for. It felt disingenuous and unsatisfactory to me. Other people loved it tho so it's definitely about personal opinion. I really loved this show in a this can do no wrong sort of way up until half-way through until some things happened that made me lose some of that obsession. Still, it's a really cute romeo juliet style romcom and there's a wlw side ship that I would die for so I will definitely recommend trying it out! Just be prepared for a couple things to not make sense...

5. To My Star - Korean BL

Short and sweet story about a celebrity falling in love with his chef roommate. Loved every second of this. It was so adorable. Not much to say here except that s2 comes out soon so definitely watch it before that!

6. Cherry Magic - Japanese BL

The story of Adachi who wakes up on his 30th birthday to discover his virginity had landed him mind reading powers which reveal his perfect co-worker's secret crush on him. This show is super sweet and wholesome and funny. Absolutely delightful in every single way I cannot recommend this enough. There's also canon aroace rep! Can you believe!?!? It's amazing.

7. Dark Blue Kiss - Thai BL

This one is hella divisive. People either love the main ship or hate em. I'm sure you can guess where my allegiances lie... For me, PeteKao both represented some very real struggles of being in a long-term closeted relationship. I felt that their story was relatable, realistic despite the dramatisation, and one that was important to be told. People often misrepresent this show as a petty jealousy plot when it's really about dealing with your own insecurities over a secret relationship (for Pete) and learning to overcome your internalised homophobia and fear of being rejected by your loved ones (for Kao). So yeah, I'm definitely recommend it but I won't guarantee that you'll like it.

8. Light On Me - Korean BL

Love triangle done very right. I absolutely love this show. It was so simple and grounded and also cute and fluffy. All of the romantic and platonic relationships explored in the show were top-notch and it really had me so completely invested in every single character and their relationships. Overall, very good watch must recommend.

9. Puppy Honey - Thai Show w/ OffGun

Now while this isn't actually a BL show a lot of people still count it as one simply because it was OffGun's first show together. Puppy Honey is a short, 2 season show about a pair of best friends who all fall in love in the backdrop of their club. Emma and Rome are freshers while Porsche and Pick are their super seniors (that's the concept). While both ships are cute and fun in s1 I do recommend skipping the straights in s2 for optimal viewing experience bc their storyline is both boring and completely inconsequential to the rest of the plot. Still, PickRome were OffGun's first ship and it's always got a place in the fandom's hearts because of that.

10. Colour Rush - Korean BL

I really, really loved this one when it aired. It's such an interesting take on the colour based soulbonds concept. S1 was amazing. The storyline, cinematography and chemistry were all amazing. But then a lot of things changed in s2 and I've been too scared to watch it so... I highly recommend watching s1 but won't speak on s2 yet...

I have A Lot more but I'll stop at ten for now bc it's 4 am and I really should sleep. But do check out my currently watching (link in my bio) for what I'm watching rn along with Not Me bc most of those shows are amazing too!
