stan still being in high school when the other losers get into colleges because he was a grade below them and him basically adopting a freshman-sophomore friend group in his senior year and keeping them out of trouble and becoming an older brother figure to them because he can't go on with his life properly without looking out for a couple of braindead motherfuckers
"Frank and Gerard early 2000's stage kisses" this "Frank and Gerard early 2000's stage kisses" that. LISTEN! 2022 Ray and Frank forehead kisses. In conclusion . Frank iero.
thinking about steve in that first scene in nancys bedroom back in season one. thinking about how goofy and flirty and charming and playful he was being. thinking about him being like that with eddie, and how eddie would react to that version of steve. the whole talking in a silly voice, acting as that stuffed bear, the whole “bad steve :( don’t do that to miss nancy :( “ and “you are beautiful nancy wheeler”.
eddie plays dnd, even more so, he DMs dnd games, he stands up on tables in cafeterias and makes big theatrical scenes to rant about issues he has strong stances on — that man knows how to put on a show, and enjoys to watch one too. see: immediately accepting erica into hellfire as a replacement after seeing her go on one of her tangents, showing off her attitude and how she isn’t afraid to get in your face to get her way. he LOVESS that shit. lives for it. seeks it out. so when steve starts getting like that around him he would just crumble immediately i just know it.
merrill dragon age really reverse engineered an eluvian from first principles in a cave with a box of scraps and one single blighted shard. and STILL she gets no respect for it from anyone but potentially hawke, at least in a confused yet well-meaning 'are ya winning son' sort of way on the friendship path. dark days for women in STEM
(really though it seems the equivalent of a person in the middle ages putting together a nokia phone from rocks and sticks (and one coaching session from a spirit, fair enough) and then just not being able to figure out how to turn it on even though it is fully functioning. magically at least merrill is inarguably a genius. the tony stark of kirkwall. well not really that comparison falls apart pretty quickly but you see what I'm saying here lmao)
Twitter ship chart or something. Hate these guys.
Paragraphs in the lower half below the cut, for whoever wants a closer look.
What draws them together?
-The fact that both want to learn about the other. The other person is unique, strange. Not like everyone else, yet continues to provide for the other. They're both in this line of work so they're bound to form a bond. Just not one they can put a label on. It isn't romance but its still some fucked up form of intimacy and trust.
What stands in the way?
-Both are actually shitass people and neither have the time nor
mental state for an actual healthy, romantic relationship. I call this the "in another life" situation. Where if things literally weren't they way they are now and they weren't such shitty people, they would've had a chance at something normal and happy and healthy.
What are their good traits?
-At times they can respect each other. There's a mutual, unspoken agreement of "You need me, I need you." And due to that, they can still work affectively while also showing the other that they're there for them. That's about it outside of that, neither of them are gonna have a talk about what they are and if this is actually healthy or if they're both just infatuated with the other.
What makes them hopeless at romance?
-Isn't even defined as romance, not to them anyways.
Its moreso partnership. Doc has the idea that Hank is replaceable. That whatever may happen, he doesn't ACTUALLY need him. There are plenty of people at his disposal. It just so happens that the local Killing Machine will listen sometimes and is a valuable asset to him.
While Hank sees Doc as a tool. Something to get him closer to
his goals no matter what, even if its selfish. He knows it is.
Hank knows that Doc will continue mending him and piecing him back together. He KNOWS he's valuable but wont be replaced, at least not anytime soon. But that doesn't mean he never questions why Doc does the things he does. Neither of them are gonna ask any time soon.
I think the dissonance between you and the anons comes from the fact that you do see shipping potential with other characters their age but not bkdk, if that makes sense? Like you can see other pairings through a shipping lens so why not bkdk also (I’m not saying you have to, I’m just assuming people see it as a double standards of sorts)
which i would understand if i hadn't stated multiple times that i am not rejecting any romantic reading at all whatsoever, so i don't know why people act like i am, especially when i retweet ship fan art occasionally like why is this so serious to some people help
but to spell it out, i do not enjoy throwing bakugo and deku into silly ship scenarios as easily as i do in other constellations because their canon relationship is more complex and my opinions on their dynamic are more nuanced and deeper than my opinions on their friendships with other characters. the implications of 17yo bakugo asking deku out on a date differ from the implications of someone like rody asking deku on a date and i don't rlly feel like ignoring that.
i do think that deku had a crush on bakugo as a kid and he does carry some of that into their teenage years and makes everything more complicated like i am not denying that, which is why im confused by people who accuse me of having a double standard when my own interpretation and fan art more often than not hinges on this assumption. just because i don't see bakugo recognize or reciprotate any of that does not mean they can't have that one day, throwing them into that as teens just goes against the reading that i'm very commited like it's not that easy (the love thing), or i wouldn't want it to be that easy it doesn't feel right to me
some people do and i like and respect those readings, i wouldn't share their art/thoughts or do those requests otherwise lmao
one of th actresses on this shoot jst told me she rly likes my voice and that its ‘deep’ which is xtremely gender affirming but i cnt tell if she thinks im a woman w a deep voice cuz i swear my voice aint deep for a man lol
i can't talk about specifics bc too detailed, but tldr:
everyone started off w saying the presentation was good
my advisor actually called my presentation "immaculate"
answered every question to the point we had off-the-books (not for corrections, but for curiosity) discussion
holy fucking shit i was standing for three hours straight (1 h 50 m non-stop verm infodump lmao, then 1 h of closed questioning, and then another 10-20 m of committee deliberation)
(to put into scope: defense presentations should aim to be 60-75 mins at most and 15 min questions)
(everyone agreed it actually needed the whole time bc of the sheer scale of the work)
the committee all agreed that the work is a very big contribution w immense practicality to the field
i just need to finish the document, add their suggested corrections, and that's fucking it 😎😎😎😎😎
=====
what does that mean for fanfic?
well. i need to prioritize my corrections bc uh lol my job deadline is by the end of the month
but i think i'll have enough bandwidth to be creative again, so likely i'll be writing and noodling as i make those corrections, so no promises but we'll see if anything gets posted
fluffy hc time. buggy and shanks love holding hands so even when theyre apart buggy detaches his hand to hold shanks' . but when shanks needs to, you know, use his only hand, he has to let go and buggy pokes him until he holds it again
Since rin alr inspected readers pussy, why dont we give sae a shot lol
OHHHHHHHHHHH sae's so much worse than rin :(
cw: pussy inspections, overstimulation. fem reader. characters are aged up in their mid 20's.
he's so teasing and slow. takes his time prodding, touching, crooking his finger in different ways, then adding one or two more, then moves to tasting u instead or maybe just toying with ur clit :/ giving it a pinch to see if you're still going to squeal and mewl the same way u used to months ago. has an insufferable smirk on his face the entire time - but his eyes are soft, enamored bc no matter how long he's away for, your body still reacts to him the same way. you will always be waitin for him, spread out and watching with hopeful eyes, pushing past your limits like a good girl - just to satisfy him and prove that you love him so, so much :(
prob ends up cumming in his pants as he does it .......... oh lawd he just gets so desperate - but he has to check up on u first, make sure his girl's been on her best behavior 4 him :( he goes at it for hours, two or three, you can't rly tell - but you're so swollen and throbbing by the end of it, overstimulated until there are dried tears on your cheeks, bottom lip bleeding from gnawing at it so forcefully. he's just as breathless as you are by the time he's done, has this gorgeous flush spread along his sun kissed skin, pupils blown wide behind thick lashes. fuck. you've done so good, angel. he crawls on top of you, grabs your face in large hands as he brushes hair out of your eyes and presses a kiss to your forehead. so, so good. want you t' take care of me now. can you do that? yeah? that's my girl.
sansa saying she doesn't want someone brave and gentle and strong she wants the pathetic little bitchboy wow she's so me but also could you imagine your gf saying this about you I'd kms
keep seeing 999 analysis posts in the tag where people call junpei the worst (in an affectionate way) and while i dont actually disagree that he kind of sucks (affectionate)...bud if you think junpei is the worst you should see my worstie haruaki fusaishi from visual novel raging loop
sophia seeing cailan's body hanging there when they go back to ostagar, and suddenly all she can see even through the rot and the ruin is just how much he looked like alistair...... :'(
a mental image that totally will not haunt her through alistair's many years on the throne as rebellions and assassination attemps come and go. doesn't send her unhinged and unwise even a little
