#it’s twitch and people on twitch are weird to women sometimes but

[tonguetyd]

Now that I am in my own apartment and don’t have cable I’m basically using twitch as my tv/background noise again but I feel like I’m seeing people not know how to act?

And I am not the person to make a “new people’s guide to twitch” but I have also been on the site for almost 5 years at this point so…here goes…

Don’t be a dick to the streamers and mods (which is the TLDR of everything below)

Remember you are there *for the streamer* and/or the game they are playing

If you would rather be watching someone else or some other game, click away from the stream. Don’t comment “play something else” or “I’m only here for [whatever]”

(Notable exception to the above is pets. If pets are on you generally can say you’re only here for pets 😂)

Also generally considered rude to be like “I’m gonna go watch [X] instead of you” like either just leave in quiet or say you gotta go. Better yet just lurk in the stream and keep the volume off

Listen to the mods do not fight with them if they tell you to chill out or put you in time out just accept it, it happens to all of us

Read the room, if the mood is light don’t come in there with depressing shit, if shit is heavy don’t play a fart sound idfk

Don’t ask for gift subs

DONT INTENTIONALLY TRY TO WIG THE STREAMER OUT. If you have known the streamer for a minute and are a regular chatter then you’ll get more leeway with being a troll but if it’s your fourth message and you’re asking weird raunchy shit you’re flirting with a ban. Furthermore even if you are a regular and you notice the bit might be going a little too far, pull back.

You don’t know these people. You are talking thru a computer to them.

They ain’t gonna fuck you

DONT BACKSEAT AND/OR SPOIL THE GAME FFS

It’s fun it’s a silly video game website it gets a very great type of chaotic but like. Don’t be a dick to people.

⌦ in which you are a rather popular streamer, and get invited to a cut’s buzzer dating video.

— warnings: pronouns not mentioned, swearing, use of real name

| this is a draft from a while ago, idk why i was obsessed with the buzzer dating vids from cut's but here we are |

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

you were anxiously waiting in the room the producers had showed you when you first came into the building. it was a small comfy area; plush green couches and chairs with light blanket throw overs and soft pillows.

it was almost a mystery how you ended here. cut had emailed your team and asked if you were available to shoot a dating video for their channel. although it was a weird offer, you agreed nonetheless, hoping to maybe find someone out of it.

you rubbed your sweaty hands on your jeans as a woman walked into the room. she had just taken her turn but must’ve been buzzed since she came back. this worried you.

“how’d it go?” one of the other women asked. the one who had returned smiled and shook her head.

“he’s cute, but i’m not his type.” she paused, sitting down in a chair and looking over to you. “i really hope you get him, or someone in this room does.” you smiled nervously at her in thanks. just as she moved on to speak again, one of the crew members motioned you to come out.

it was now your turn. deep breath in. deep breath out.

you stood and walked out. the room was a dull white and had two chairs and a table with a button in the middle. you put a confident smile on your face as the man sitting in the chair spoke.

“hi! im alex!” his tone was rather soft, definitely not what you expected once taking in his appearance. he had shoulder length brown fluffy hair, the top of it hidden by a black beanie. his shirt baggy along with his jeans. you couldn’t deny that it was attractive.

you stuck out your hand, his instantly meeting it in a tight grip. “it’s nice to meet you, alex. i’m y/n!” you let go of his soft hand to pull out your chair and sit down.

“are you nervous?” he asked with a slight chuckle. in all honesty, he had felt the shake in your hand when he shook it, he wanted to make sure you were okay.

you let out a little laugh back. “just a little. this is all a little nerve wracking. are you?”

alex nodded, expanding his hands on the table. “a little, yeah. can i ask, how old are you?” he seemed nervous at the question, but you didn’t take it to heart. you would’ve asked the same thing eventually.

“of course! i’m twenty. how about yourself?”

“i’m twenty-one! nice that we’re around the same age.” you agreed with a soft smile. you went to ask a question when the button started to talk.

“what do you guys do for a living?” the robotic voice was loud and clear, coming from the tiny box in front of you. you both stayed silent for a moment, taking in what the button said before speaking up.

“i, uh, stream on twitch, sometimes.” you shrugged, feeling slightly embarrassed. alex looked at you with wide eyes, and you felt like you were a goner.

“no way! i stream on twitch too!” you let out a breathy laughed, shaking your head.

“damn, really? well, i’m glad we have that in common.” he stayed silent with a small smile plastered on his face. the button glowed red and you were sure he was going to press it.

“y/n is into humours people.” the button turned blue again and you felt your stomach doing flips. he didn’t press it.

“oh, really?” alex asked, eyes making contact with your own orbs. you nodded, making his face light up more. “i just happen to be the most funniest person alive.”

“i love the confidence, it’s hot.” you immediately bring your hand to your mouth as a way to shut yourself up.

“what did you say?” please, button. shut up.

alex was laughing, not at you but at the bright pink dusting your face he saw when you removed your hand. “oh, god. i’m sorry!”

“no, no, no, no! i’m flattered to know you think i’m hot. you’re not too bad yourself, mi amor.” your face was a shade darker of pink while his was light. this guy could be a flirt if he wanted.

“do you find each other attractive?”

you swallowed the lump in your throat, holding your own hand under the table. “yeah-yes. i do find him attractive.” you might’ve felt like dying right then and there.

“i too, find y/n attractive.” alex said in a sly tone. you stared at each other for a few moments before it was ruined by the room lighting up red by the button once again. you watched alex's eyes drop down to the button, then back to you. but he made no move to press it, and neither did you.

"this is the second time, and neither of you have pressed." said the button, turning blue. "do you wish to see each other outside of this video?"

you nodded, quickly, causing alex to laugh. "i would love to see him after this, if he'll have me." you gave a small wink and shy smile. alex shook his head.

"i'd love to have you, you don't even need to ask." you laughed lightly, trying to get rid of the warm feeling in your stomach and the tight knots twisting.

"go on, give each other a hug to end it off." alex stood out of his chair, slowly walking over to you and reaching a hand out. without thinking twice, you reach out and let him help you stand. you wrapped your arms around his shoulders, while his secured around your waist. he swayed you both for a moment or two before letting go, but not going too far.

"you guys are free to go now, hope you work out!" a female producer called out, clapping her hands along with a few other workers. you made your way towards the exit, slightly embarrassed and took a deep breathe as you reached outside.

"hey!" you turned around to see non other than alex, hands on his hips. "leaving so soon?" he smirked.

"not without my prize." you flirted back, stepping closer. his eyes widened and he let out a huff.

"speaking up now are we?" he let his palm rest against your jaw and he rubbed thumb rub back and forth. just when you thought he was going in for a kiss, he pulled back. "would love for your number so we can continue this."

you stared at him, mixed emotions in your eyes. lust, confusion, and even anger. sad to say, you may have desperately wanted to kiss him there.. who wouldn't have? in your haze state, you pulled out your phone and handed it to him. he punched in his number and handed your phone back to you. alex told you that he needed to leave to stream, which you understood. he pressed a kiss to your forehead and turned around.

as you watched him walk away, you thought about what would have happened if you didn't agree to do this video. but quickly put that thought behind you, because you had potentially met your future lover. you were definitely going to be stalking his stream before you had to start your own for the night.

Wrong Graves, Right Heart - pt. 2

pairing: Simon “Ghost” Riley x female!Reader

synopsis: In the warmth of a quiet café, Simon finds himself explaining the story behind an unusual act of kindness gone awry—a two-year gesture of leaving flowers at the wrong grave. Amid teasing laughter and genuine understanding, the conversation shifts from awkward confessions to a heartfelt connection. As the rain falls outside, Simon begins to see that even the strangest mistakes can reveal truths about who we are—and bring us closer to the people who matter most.

warnings: Language, emotional themes, mild angst, slow burn.

word count: 652

a/n: Sorry for the mistakes, English isn’t my first language, and thank you so much for all the interactions and feedback on part 1! I’m really grateful for your patience and support! I hope you enjoy this too.

Part 1

The café’s dim lighting cast a warm glow over their small table, the golden hue bouncing off the polished wood. Outside, rain pattered gently against the window, a soft blurred background to the low murmur of voices inside. Simon shifted in his chair, sitting across from her, his hands wrapped around a steaming mug of coffee, the warmth doing little to chase away his lingering embarrassment, the smell of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the faint hint of her lavender perfume. She stirred her tea absently, her eyebrows still arched in disbelief.

“So, let me get this straight,” she said, her voice light but her raised eyebrow sharp. “You brought flowers to a murderer’s grave for two years?”

Simon groaned, his shoulders slumping. “Hey, I didn’t know, okay?” he muttered defensively, running a hand over the back of his neck, the rough fabric of his hoodie scratching his skin. His ears felt warm—either from the heat of his coffee or the weight of her amused gaze, he wasn’t sure. “And they were nice flowers,” he said again, as if that somehow made it better.

“Right, that makes it all better ‘Sorry for the murders—here’s a bouquet of daisies.’”. Her laugh was soft, melodic, and Simon found himself watching the way her lips curved upward. It wasn’t the first time someone had laughed at his expense, but this... this felt different. Less mocking, more... comfortable.

He snorted despite himself. “Okay, when you say it like that, it sounds bad. And, it wasn’t daisies,” he muttered, his lips twitching despite himself. “It was roses. Classy ones.”

She leaned forward, her elbow resting on the table. “Simon,” she said, her tone mock-serious, “nothing about this is classy. It’s weird. Sweet in a... deeply concerning way, but still weird.”

Simon couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head. “I swear, this isn’t how I usually impress women,” he said dryly.

“Oh? What’s the usual method? Buying flowers for people still alive?” she quipped.

He snorted, raising his mug in mock salute. “Touché.”

“But, you know... also kind of sweet. In a weird, overly dedicated kind of way.” She gave a coy smile while he rolled his eyes, but a faint grin tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“Glad my bizarre coping mechanism entertain you.”

“It does,” she admitted, taking a sip of her tea. “But honestly, it’s not every day you meet someone who’d go to all that effort for a stranger. Even if they didn’t deserve it.” Her expression softened, her teasing tone fading into something more genuine. “I think it says something about you.”

“Yeah?” he asked, tilting his head, suddenly unsure of what to do with the compliment.

She nodded. “Yeah. Like... you’re someone who cares. Probably more than you let on.”

“I guess I just... didn’t want anyone to feel forgotten,” he murmured.

Her gaze softened, and for a moment, the teasing slipped away. “That’s not a bad thing, Simon.”

He glanced up, his throat tightening. “Sometimes it feels like it is. Like maybe it’s... selfish. Doing something because you’re afraid of your own ghosts.”

She shook her head, her hand brushing against her mug. “Or maybe it’s brave. Trying to make sure no one feels what you’ve felt. You might have gotten the wrong guy, but the thought was there. And honestly?” She leaned back, tapping a finger against her mug. “It’s kind of refreshing to meet someone who’s still willing to care that much, even about the wrong things.”

Simon chuckled, shaking his head. “Guess that makes me a grade-A idiot.”

“Maybe,” she teased, a playful glint returning to her eyes. “But you’re my kind of idiot.”

For the first time that day, Simon felt a weight lift from his chest. The guilt, the awkwardness—it all seemed to fade under the warmth of her smile. He took a sip of his coffee, the bitter liquid tasting a little sweeter now.

Study Break pt. 2 - Taiga Kagami x Reader

Don't have much to say other than the KNB brainrot is still real. Fun Fact: I know it doesn't seem like it from the way that I write, but my favorite character is actually Atsushi Murasakibara. I just don't think I'd be able to handle a fic with him in it 👀

Hope you enjoy!

You have created a monster.

Maybe monster isn’t the right word you think to yourself as you bend over the cold kitchen counter of your dorm room suite, Taiga Kagami’s strong, large hands finding softness in the curves down your back and around your waist. His fingertips dig into the fleshy parts of your hips, and his cock is so deep inside you that you think you can feel it in your throat. The stretch of him thrusting into you at just the right pace - not too hard but not too soft - makes your eyes roll to the back of your head in pleasure, and if he kept going like this, you’d cum down his cock for the third time today.

The two of you had found an incredible arrangement since you took his virginity months ago: friends with benefits. It’s not groundbreaking, but when you had a friend that looked like Taiga Kagami who got drunk off your pussy every time you let him spend hours lapping at you between your legs, it was hard not to include the benefits in there sometimes.

You both had been very clear that a relationship couldn’t be on the table. Life was just too weird, too much, to handle the weight of a relationship. Plus, he was the best friend you had ever had, and you were his. Jeopardizing that over some good dick and even better head was a bad decision. However, you two were grown adults who could separate high sexual compatibility with the stable emotions of friendships. Absolutely nothing could get in your way.

So your arrangement was just that for months - an arrangement. You continued to study with him and eat dinner with him and walk to class with him and watch movies in your private RA dorm with him, and then, when the time felt right, you two would also set aside your friendship to have the most mind-blowing sex you’ve ever had. And Kagami was just as insatiable as you were, so he’d take you wherever and whenever you wanted - at the dinner table, in your bed, in the shower - hell, you two even messed around in the library once. It was usually multiple times a day because neither of you could get your fill of the way the other person felt and smelled or twitched just right or panted out each other’s names breathlessly or held on to each other, nails digging senselessly, with each intense orgasm or slept with their mouth ever so slightly open in a cute, unknowing smile.

Totally platonically of course.

And sure you two could still see other people, but why would you want to when you were getting fucked like this on the regular? Naturally, the dating apps were deleted off your phone eventually, and then one night you realized they weren’t on Kagami’s either. You stopped mentioning other men, and he stopped mentioning seeing other women. You felt completely satisfied by your relationship with him, and he seemed to feel completely satisfied by his relationship with you.

Just like friends are for.

Of course.

Flora, Fauna

Pt 2

When you are first introduced, he doesn't mind your presence

You are a woman in a position of great power, and he respects that

Hence, he and you often talk plenty

He has never witnessed your blood demon art, so he is unsure

Sometimes, with how good you are at singing and with your calming voice, he assumed it was something like that

He happens to stumble upon you one day, devouring a man who had just tried to flirt with you

There you were, the moonlight shining on you, blood staining your lips as you ate, and a pile of demon slayers at your feet, with their crows laying there as well

"Ah, Upper 3! Care to join me in my feeding?"

No one's saying no to free food, and he isn't either

"Akaza, call me Akaza."

You talk as you eat, about your BDA and you find out about his thing with women

He is quite touched when you make an effort to not eat women around him

With how kind and gentle and elegant you are, how could he not fall for you?

However, when Douma decides you are now his biggest target and obsession, he needs to step in

Being Muzan's favorite demon does have perks, and one of them is that he is only sent out on special missions, so he isn't sent out often, which means he gets to spend all of his free time with you

Now that you aren't permitted to leave the castle, he can coddle and cuddle you all he wants

You don't mind his presence, but it seems the other two do

Kokushibo often makes him leave when you are together, and your little beg to let him stay always resonates in his heart

Douma, surprisingly, doesn't want Akaza there either

He won't outright say it, but there are clues that he's trying to make Akaza feel unwanted

He's extra clingy when Akaza is around and often taunts him

Akaza is possessive of you and doesn't like letting you go

He tells you about his adventures os you don't feel lonely, and brings you food and people he hunted to eat

Sometimes he brings them alive, just to watch you use your BDA in action

You enjoy his company and motivate him with just your presence

He is insecure about himself because he feels like there's going to be one day when he can't protect you properly

"Akaza, There you are. Would you like to spend time with me? I prepared tea."

"Are you sure that you don't want me to go out and hunt something for you? You must be hungry?"

"Nonsense."

She wasn't introduced to you

You met her by commenting on the amount of control she exalts and how level-headed she is

She doesn't speak much, and neither do you

She's not exactly possessive, but she's kept a watchful gaze on you

I mean, she controls the Infinity Castle, anywhere you, go, she's there in "spirit"

When you were allowed to leave, you often told her stories of your feedings

She seemed intrigued and so you continue

Your relationship spirals down from there

She plays her biwa for you sometimes and you sing along with her, harmonizing in perfect sync

The other demons would enjoy it, if she didn't keep tossing them around

Because you now aren't allowed to leave, she plays her biwa more and you harmonize more

She often praises your BDA and you praise her, so it's a very healthy relationship

The best relationship you'll get into is with her, so enjoy it while you still can

"It's amazing how you are able to have this much control and still be level-headed and not a prideful fool."

"Thank you."

His clones are so fine, let me tell you 😩

Hantengu was afraid of you the first time he met you

When you showed him your BDA, he cowered in fear

You thought he was weird but you weren't hostile

He enjoyed hearing you sing, and it made him come out of his shell a little more

He stuck around enough to listen to what you had to say and not cower

One time, a demon slayer cut his head off and you saw his two clones

You swear you felt something twitch

They were so handsome

His clones are often with you because he lets them out.

Sekido (Rage) is extremely possessive of you and is surprisingly, extremely clingy

Karaku (Relax) worships the ground you walk on, he praises you a lot and has masochistic tendencies

Please put flowers in his hair, he loves it

Aizetsu (Sorrow) He's just really smart and tells you about the opponents he fought and his analysis of them

You don't even realize how he's slowly drawing you in further

Urami (Resentment) isn't often let out because he would just degrade himself and say how's he jealous of you, and all that other nonsense. He acts kind of like Gyutaro

"Sekido, you have to let me go, I need to go hunt."

"One of the other forms will go get something for you, you have to stay in my arms"

"Karaku, you know that you remind me of a dog in a lot of ways."

"I'm so glad that you acknowledge me as someone loyal. Did I ever tell you how pretty you are?"

"Interestingly, you analyzed him like that, Aizetsu, do tell me more."

He tries his best, okay? Don't leave him because he's a little coward.

[leaveitalonesky]

That poll got me thinking, so headcanons of CM character's online presence.

Garcia: has a private insta. She probably has her own server on Mastodon and/or she uses BSky. As I said on the tags before, I fully believe Garcia has a neocities and a bearblog, and it's all very cute/glittery and she posts a lot of tutorials and help people out. She's probably part of the free software movement.

Emily: had/has a tumblr nobody (except Garcia) knows about. She mostly posts about sci-fi and literature, sometimes art. I also think she would make those posts explaining how to get certain services from the government; every once in a while she'll post or correct an information about self-defense tips for women

JJ: private insta. she also has an account on reddit, which she uses mostly to judge if people are the asshole or not, and later in evolution uses it to learn about IA and stuff.

Reid: if he has an online presence (not likely) is probably a very simple bearblog where he posts reflections on works that he's read.

Morgan: insta. and he barely posts on it, when he does it, it's a thirst trap.

Hotch: His insta only exists so he can see what Jack is posting. (he also see what his other children - aka BAU - are posting)

Rossi: He has a offical instagram (usually taken care about someone else), and a private one with only like the BAU and his daughter and that's it. He also has a twitter, which he posts in every once in a while, mostly to fact-check info that's going on about profiling and talking about cooking. And I bet he did once the "I was one of the founders of the BAU, AMA." on reddit before a book came out as part of the marketing for the book. I can also see him showing up in streamings (either youtube or twitch) and playing something silly like Fortnite and being really fucking good at it.

Alex: has a blog where she talks about literature and weird things she's fascinated about. She doesn't use her actual name on the blog though, cause she doesn't want her students to find her. (Garcia makes Blake a part of her webring and help her set an guestbook on her blog so people can send her a message)

Tara: Private insta (she most posts stories though, nothing on the feed). Also a twitter account that doesn't have her name or picture on it and no mentions of her real life and she mostly post memes and comment on stuff. She might be even a little internet famous with that account.

Luke: Has 2 insta accounts. One, private for him. The second is for Roxy and she's famous.

Matt: private instagram account is mostly pictures of kids and wife. Has some pictures of himself being silly taken by his kids.

Elle: only twitter, without her name of course, she probably likes to shitpost.

[deatheless]

@curseplay sent: i daydream about women sometimes. / accepting.

mina can tell from the moment paris speaks, from the floaty sound in her voice and the lingering slur from the drinks they'd had earlier that night, that she has no idea what she's really said. something in her chest twists anxiously, despite the hope she knows she probably should be feeling. but this isn't what she expected as a response to her apology, and she doesn't think it makes her feel much better.

( she just couldn't stop seeing the stricken look on paris' face before she'd stumbled away, leaving her alone with the rest of their classmates and a bottle pointed at a now - empty spot. even if she didn't really do anything, she had to say something. it was still because of her, wasn't it? she'd already rambled out an apology then, when paris had finally come back, but it didn't feel like enough. she could hardly even look at her, then. )

this doesn't really come as a surprise, not really. she's not blind. and it's not like paris has been particularly hiding it ( or at least she doesn't think she's been ), but it's the first real sort of confirmation she's gotten since they've started hanging out. people always talk, so she’s heard whispers even before the two of them became friends, but … well, she didn’t want to assume. or maybe she didn’t want to get her hopes up. but she didn't want to hear it like this, when she's not even sure if paris meant to say it at all.

there's a quiet sort of shame layered in their voice even now, and she wonders if it's her fault. i just don't want you to think i'm weird, they'd said, back at the party. you know everyone here thinks i'm weird, and i don't want you to think i'm weird. and mina's stomach had flipped so hard, just wanting the distress in paris' eyes to go away, that all she could think of to say in return was i like hanging out with you, which is ... hardly a response. it had worked in the moment, but now here they are, in paris' room, the air still a little bit buzzy and warm and full of something, and she still doesn't know what to say. she kind of just wants to hold her hand.

instead, she reaches for her water bottle with a nod, and bites the inside of her cheek. paris doesn't sound like she wants to talk about it, if she even knows she said it, so against her instincts, mina tries to change the subject instead. she nods towards paris' laptop, sitting on the bed in front of them. ❛ should we, um — do you wanna watch something? until my parents get here? ❜ she'd planned to walk home from paris', but her parents had insisted. if she'd known, she would've said yes when tommy asked if she wanted to be dropped off at home instead of coming to theirs. normally she'd love to stay, but ... it doesn't feel like paris really wants her here. ❛ you can pick. ❜

( part of her, the one still making her fingers twitch by her side, wonders : did you really mean weird? or was it in the place of something else? )

[esters-notepad]

It may not always be obvious on the outside, but the inside of my head is a weird place. Somehow, my brain attached itself to the idea of combining the @chrumblr-whumblr challenge with Johnny Cash songs, and wouldn't let go until I made a list. Half of the songs are from American IV, the other half from a collection of greatest hits. If somebody wants the list, drop me a comment and I'll post it!

No guarantees that I'll write all through May. In fact, no guarantees that I write anything more about this at all. But I did write something for the first prompt: blindfolding.

Jenkins tried to breathe slowly. The rough sack over his head trapped the heat and damp like crazy. As if this blasted jungle wasn't hot and humid enough in the first place! His hands were going numb from the too tight handcuffs around his wrists, and the stones on the ground dug painfully into his knees and shins. The one silver lining of the day, Jenkins thought wryly to himself, was that the Koreans didn't seem to know that Susan was a girl's name. They'd taken down his rank and full name without so much as a twitch. Not at all like the first time he'd been taken prisoner of war, by the Germans back in 1944. They thought he was from the WAC at first. Then, after an intrusive medical examination established his maleness beyond a doubt, they'd scheduled him for execution in the morning, as a sexual degenerate. Thankfully, he'd been rescued that same night. Jenkins shook his head, trying to put the memories from his mind. Apart from that horrible day in Normandie, Pa's little scheme had prepared him well for a life in the Army. Everywhere he came, there was speculation about what the S meant, of course: Stan? Sam? Steve, perhaps? Jenkins never told anybody, but it always came out anyway. Sometimes he'd have to bust a few heads over it, but usually it stayed at good-natured ribbing. He was a good soldier, and people appreciated that.

Jungle animals cried out to each other. Somewhere in the middle distance, a motor vehicle drove away. The Koreans talked with each other, softly enough that Jenkins couldn't have heard what they were talking about even if he'd understood the language. Jenkins shifted his knees, trying to find a softer spot. He idly wondered what his old Pa could be doing right now. He had to be getting on in years, just like Ma. He'd gotten a Christmas card from him once, the year after their big showdown. Jenkins never replied, could never think of anything to say, and so there weren't any more cards. Did the old man even know that his son had gotten married? Maybe Ma had told him. Jenkins couldn't help himself. When he thought of Milly and Ma in their little cottage at the edge of town, he broke out in a proud grin beneath the sack. The two most wonderful women in the world, caring for each other in his absence. And ever since his last leave, Milly was expecting. She knew, of course, that he had no intention of putting his own sons through the same hell he'd grown up in, even though it had worked out all right for him in the end. So when she wrote to tell him the good news, she wrote "I know that if it's a boy, you want to name him Bill after my father. But what if it's a girl? Then can we name it Sue after you?" I love you, Milly, Jenkins thought. Dear God, I love her so much. Keep her safe - keep the baby safe - please keep me safe, and let me come back home and meet the baby and provide for them. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

[formulatrash]

hello!

saw max talk about this in a clip from his twitch stream and was wondering if you knew anything about this. is there only one drivers championship trophy and it gets like what, passed around? he said he had the real one and a replica that already had both his championships on it so is it also only one replica per driver with their championships written on them?

i knew they got replicas for their podiums/wins (and that sometimes they get to keep the original) but didn’t think this also applied to the championship trophy as well. does that essentially mean that lewis, fernando etc all have a trophy as well but it isn’t the real one that’s moving around? how does it even have the room to keep adding all these names to them?

such a random but cool fact i guess that i hadn’t heard people talk about before

sorry, whenever drivers drop these little tidbits i get really hooked on these weird, pointless details

this is a good question because like everything in motorsport: it's complicated.

so: there is one championship trophy, which has every champion since Giuseppe Farina's name carved on it. but it wasn't made in 1950, it was made in 1995 by a company called Fox Silver.

like a lot of sporting trophies, you only have it while you've won it, so there are also a bunch of replicas. since 1995 those have looked like this, the official, etched-year-on-year trophy (each ring of the spiral has a decade of champions on) there was a lot going on in the FIA in the early-to-mid 90s and this new trophy came during some very major governance wranglings between what was then the sporting arm of the FIA (FISA) and FOCA (the Formula One Constructors' Association) that ultimately ended in FISA being reabsorbed into the FIA and FOCA getting Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley into vice presidency and presidency of the FIA to represent their interests.

(that's oversimplifying but otherwise we'll be here all day)

a new era of grand stability and governance for the sport naturally merited a new, ugly trophy:

but before 1995 that's not what the trophy looked like at all. it's amazingly hard to find photos of the actual trophy because F1 has always had this slightly bizarre (especially for a sport where there are trophies every week) half-arsed approach to awarding the actual championship silver.

but here's a photo of Nina Rindt, Jochen Rindt's widow, receiving his posthumous world championship trophy in 1970. as you can see, it'd a kind of modest little generic trophy, which despite the tragic circumstances of Rindt's win, isn't unlike what they usually were.

so: yes, all drivers who've won it in the last 28 years have won the same trophy and then they or their teams or both have had replicas made.

hope that answers the question semi-competently!

there's a sort of - I don't want to call it a rumour because it's stronger than that but an unverified story that the actual trophy currently being handed out is itself a replica and that Michael Schumacher kept the 1995 original. idk if that really matters either way, so long as there's one trophy that gets handed out every year (and it's not necessarily true in any case) but it does vaguely sound like the sort of thing Bernie Ecclestone would do.

edited to add: Nina Rindt was a timekeeper and incredibly accurate - timekeeping back then meant using a literal stopwatch and writing down lap times as drivers passed the pits. feel like I have to mention this cus she gets an entry in the history books only as a widow all too often but she had her own role in motorsport. (she was timing the session Jochen was killed in) - timekeeping was pioneered by women.

Yh i agree about people s obsession with new duos. And don t get me wrong, sometimes new and unexpected duos are great, i m talking to the treebark burner account! Ranchers were also great, and totally out of nowhere. But i think people are a bit too obsessed with 1 creating new duos and names in order to portray new narratives and theories and 2 making every close relationship romantic or familiar, as if close friendships, qprs or just good ol' rivalries did not exist 3 ignoring female ccs, even more so when it gets in the middle of a ship (this happens with women in every single piece of media btw).

Male-female friendships (or ships) are often ignored bc i feel a lot of fans feel as if these fanon relationships are somehow more "real" and not roleplay bc they are a "straight couple" (c'mon people, most of us are queer what are you doing with this mentality?), and are more likely to assume you ship the creators and not the characters, or worst, to actually assume the ccs are together irl (which was the reason some female ccs were against shipping in the 1st place). Re: this point, I will give an special mention to bee duo though, the fans really assumed they liked each other irl, which was very creepy considering they were underage at the time.

F/F ships are also often snubbed, although lately i ve seen them become a lot more popular, such as nature wives and more recently Gem & Pearl (ik the ship has a name, but i ve decided to ignore it bc we are better than that), which has been satisfactory to see. Still a long way to go though.

Hope i have explained myself correctly 👉👈 english s not my 1st language so i m kind of nervous about dping such a long post about such a complex issue. Feel free to correct me

no you're all good! thanks for the ask 🫶

also sorry to anyone who's here for tree bark only bc this acc is basically my alt now lmaoo (due to me keeping anon off on main)

you're right that ppl want to create new duos and narratives but sometimes... those ppl aren't that close. or had three interactions in a series. that isn't to say they're not friends or friends can't become close in a short amount of time. but the fandomisation and trying to come up with an incomprehensible name instead of saying their names is kinda ?? to me personally. not that's bad, it's just... i don't really get why you won't use their names. especially when it's not a long established group that frequently collabs.

you're so right about male-female friendships and especially in this fandom. i feel like m/f shipping in this sphere (outside of the obvious lizzie/joel) is seen as taboo bc it could leak into m/f irl shipping. at least that's why i was squicked out for like two years. esp bc m/f irl shipping was / is a problem (for example, i still see ppl asking in their public yt comments if stress and iskall are together. during hc2 people thought mumbo and false were dating when he was like 17 and she was in her early twenties and it's just fucking weird to truth in people's comments).

(unrelated to this discussion but i will always be salty that the antihcshippers never bring up the point of REAL AND ANNOYING M/F IRL SHIPPING IN COMMENTS and instead bully scar/grian shippers on twitter or whatever. really shows that they never cared about cc's "boundaries" or feelings and just want that fandom moral superiority. quick have you been to comment sections of eps posted by the women in like 2017. have you seen the random twitch chatters.)

the fanon side of m-f friendships/ships in hc is interesting bc pre gem and pearl, the three women had their "designated guy bestie that they always collab with" and it's quite obvious who: stress-iskall, cleo-joe, false-ren (to a lesser extent cub). former two are basically the only prominent m/f ships (iskall in particular plays into it). i had talked to ppl in dms about why false/ren isn't prominent and my main theory is what i call the yaoi shield bc ren is shipped with a lot of men LMFAO (also something something about ren/iskall and false/stress being complements to avoid the "boring" m/f shipping).

but i still wish m-f friendships get more recognition 😔 like if you're not shipping them in the character sense, there's no risk of being seen as irl shipping, so technically it's no different from same gender friendships, right? 🤡 and i do not like the instant "siblingification" to create a fanon familiar bond to avoid shipping. like sometimes it works. a lot of the time it doesn't. people can just be friends. and they all are actually friends.

ok, more of a tangent here, but dug up an old ass convo from 2021 in which there was a point like "sometimes romantic relationships can happen between ccs and it is definitely more feasible than ccs becoming family via marriage/adoption" and i said "so technically 'shipping hcs' are less weird than 'same family hcs'. hm". soooo 🤡🤡🤡 it's totally fine if you don't wanna ship, but it is also TOTALLY fine to keep them as friends instead of siblings / family hcs. i think this fandom has enough awareness now to know you mean friends when you portray them as friends.

i'm happy to see more yuri bc yuri is almost always the least popular in fandoms. but i think m/m and f/f also has the vibes of "less likely to be perceived as irl shipping so we can go wild" while m/f character shipping is still treated with caution? and people really don't want ccs to misinterpret it as irl shipping? tbh i feel like the modern day fandom has gone into "god forbid a man and a woman are friends" that m/f is seen as the "boring" "cop-out" and it goes all the way around. like yeah sometimes it's boring. but not the point of it being nonexistent lmfao like m/f could be funnnnn!!!!!! and they can be queer too!! bi4bi, t4t!!!! or they can just be hetero idk!!

anyways. as a m&f / m/f main i have Thoughts. but yeah 👍

3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs. (me being purely selfish 😏)

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

🤍

Hey, Ren!! Welcome to my ask game. And thank you for being here hahahah ❤️

3. Definitely Look at Us Now (ongoing) and Faking Yulemas (finished). They’re so different from each other, but I’m crazy about both 🥺

19. Heheheh you can be as selfish as you want

Dorian picked the snack Rowan made for Aelin and inspected it from every angle imaginable.

“Pregnant women are so weird.” He sniffed the dried mango with mustard and gummy bears and wrinkled his nose. “Is this even edible?”

Aelin drew a slow smirk and wiggled her eyebrows before answering, “Not the kind of edible we’d eat when we were residents.”

The ache from Rowan’s tense jaw spread to his other muscles. His hands twitched as he held back from grabbing Aelin’s ex by that shiny dark hair and—

27. My initial ones, Faking Yulemas pt. 4 because of how late it was and I was so embarrassed I just posted because a cute Nonnie asked me to, and some chapters of LAUN when I’m afraid I screwed up.

It’s mostly Anxiety Brain being a bitch, though. My overall experience here is amazing and people are so nice, I don’t know why I still get nervous sometimes.

[go-learn-esperanto]

did you follow any mcyt in your language before starting to watch smps in english? I remember fondly a parody cover of they're taking the hobbits to isengard from the non-english duo I followed

I don't think so. We didn't have many Portuguese MCYT creators and I was never much into listening to Brazilian creators. We had Fer0m0nas when I was a kid but I didn't really watch him a lot. My brother did watch him a bit but even he didn't watch him that much.

A lot of them were really loud and chaotic which I never really liked that much. (It did get me a bit to get into Tommy even as an adult, for example... And I can't watch Tommy's vlogs even today, even if I love his Minecraft streams when he's with his friends). (Grian can be loud and yes he is chaotic but not in his video style or when he's speaking to the audience. The style is more laid back which I enjoy a lot more).

So no. I would've loved them if I had found some that liked but even today I have yet to see a real portuguese MCYT with content that is a bit more mature. And by mature I don't mean "says curse words and makes sexual comments" I mean has a content that is entertaining and maybe even educational without making you feel like you're watching something for a 6 year old.

Hermitcraft is an all ages series. It sometimes as more mature jokes but over they really are a PG (Parental Guidance) series that younger kids can watch but adults can very much appreciate too with great building, role playing that isn't too dense and plenty of choices for a creator you want to watch. The Dream SMP which I also loved is not an all ages series.... Even if there were definitely a lot of kids watching.... but had the guts to explore difficult and mature topics like depression, abuse and others (and did them mostly right... Except for the ending of course). You also have a lot of choices for creators. For solo people I watched Fundy a lot even before the big Dream SMP stuff because I love the doing weird things with Minecraft via programming. I also watch PhoenixFC and there's some others with this type of content I enjoy.

I have also never seen a Portuguese MCYT that is a woman. I know there are Brazilian women MCYTs but portuguese? I've never seen one. It's also really difficult to find Portuguese creators. I did a search for Portuguese streamers on Twitch and I couldn't find a good list or commentaries by anyone. The only way I manage to find Portuguese streamers is by following RTP Arena AKA the Esports staff of the Official National Portuguese Television or occasionally one streamer appears in a Portuguese YouTube channel dedicated the European Youth matters which is most likely related to the Erasmus+ programme and makes some interviews with various young adults.

The lack of the organisation of the Portuguese streaming and YouTube community makes for a more challenging experience for the viwers who have to do work if they want to actually find someone they enjoy.

There's also the fact that since a lot of us speak English fairly well we may do content in English which again— makes things difficult if I want to find you. And sometimes I want to hear Portuguese from Portugal you know?

I once had to research Portuguese Content creators of various categories for an organisation and the pain I had to find good gaming stuff... you have a decent shooting games CCs but for any other types of games? Well, if they exist they're not easy to find. There are some variety game streamers there's very few belonging to just a gaming community.

All this to say: gamers portugueses organizem-se porfavor. E se calhar comecem a publicar videos de Minecraft que eu quero vê-los e ninguém os faz 😭

Because I saw this on Tiktok, here's the drivers ranked by how much I would want to genuinely meet them, have a conversation and possibly start a friendship. I will give explanation given, but beware these are just the vibes I as a queer (possibly) not-cis person am feeling on safety, conversations topics etc. (Remember this is not serious and I don't know these people and certainly never will.)

Esteban instant yes. That man loves comic books, is a sweetheart of track and just seems so chill when of the track. I also think he has such a genuine personality that I would adore. I am certain he would be a great friend and a wonderful listener, a perfect shoulder to cry on.

Kevin another definite yes. I have always liked him and I think he would be especially safe to be around now that he is a girl dad who will know the struggles women have. But I also just think he is such an interesting person. From his interest in sailing to him actually working before F1 I feel like there would be so many conversations topics to have with him that he would be open minded to. He would also bring me out of my shell in a non-pushy way which gets a big plus.

Oscar is a yes but a more tentative one mainly because I still feel like I don't know enough about him as a person. But he is an introvert like me and he just seems so chilled that he would be great to hang out with like every once in a while and just basically do nothing, enjoy silence together with maybe some conversations between that. Would probably be a close friend because introverts can just understand the need for silently hanging out together. Also seems like he is actually like a chatty person and would listen to my rants and then remark with like a dry ass comment which would crack me up.

Lance again a more tentative yes mainly due to him different being in different friend circles than I would ever be. I think if I grew up more sporty it would be an instant yes but seeing how much he actually enjoys sports also in the off-season is just a possible barrier. Mainly because I have done like 2 sports genuinely but I would also be open to try those new ones with him. And I feel like even with a different background he would just be fun to be around if I am feeling more extroverted. I don't think he would be a close friend but I have no doubt that he would be a great one. I just think our interests are too different to make this a clear yes. But I think there's a benefit here in that we could probably teach the other new things or show the other new stuff which would help and I also feel like he is just a nice person at heart that would genuinely try to make a friend as awkward as me feel welcome because he knows how though fitting in can be like. Would also try to understand like the whole package that is me and that would be a big plus point.

Now, I would love to meet Alex and I am certain he would be fun to hang out with but I just don't know if he would ever be someone I would see as a friend which is mainly due to me also just not knowing enough about him. Like, his Twitch era? That Alex and I would absolutely get along but his golf thing? Off putting. I also think he is just someone who probably only hangs out with his smaller circle and I don't feel like our personalities would match enough to be that close. + I feel like he is a big family guy and I would feel weird intruding there so I would probably distance myself off sometimes because I feel I would be too much.

While I think Lewis is a great person and we definitely hold similar beliefs and would probably have a great time talking I just don't think we would ever be friends because this man is so busy with things and public while I can't even go grocery shopping sometimes. I think I could meet to hang out with him like once a year because that man has a schedule that is longer than my brain could ever comprehend. I also think our personalities would not match enough for a close friendship but he might be someone you hang out with once every 3 years. A great person for more nuanced and deeper conversations that is sure.

Valtteri would be a lovely person to meet and chat with but I doubt we would be close friends. That man is way too active and enjoys sports too much in his downtime while I need to recharge with a book. I think he would be someone that you meet through a friend a few times and the conversations always stick with you because they are so enjoyable but you just know that you have different interests so you stick to the chats you would sometimes randomly have. Maybe if you have a really close friend you share you would also send each other messages sometimes. I would learn a lot from him and his chats almost like a life lesson or a podcast to listen to.

Zhou is a really interesting case because I truly do not know anything about him other than his interest in fashion outside F1 which I don't share but would love to hear about. But realistically I could not tell you what you would do when meeting up? Like, does he also enjoy surfing like Lance or? This man is a mystery to me in a way so I would love to meet him but I have no idea what would come off that. I think he is a kind person but I could not tell you if our vibes would match.

Logan is another interesting person to me because he just seems so American. The name, his speaking manners, him being from Florida, the political scandal with his family etc. This makes me wonder if he also (as one might assume) truly is like a full blown republican or if like the entire American front would throw you off when you actually get to know him because you would not assume him to be so different. So I would love to have a chat but if he is a republican like fully American one there is no way we would be friends.

Yuki I think is difficult for me to tell because I don't really have a read on him. I think he would be great to meet, talk to but I could not tell you if he would even want to meet me again. I think the common ground would be our love for food which could kick-start like hanging out and cooking but I feel like after that we might have more differences in a way that could clash with each other.

George would probably be nice to talk too but he just seems like someone that would annoy me after a bit. This is not meant hateful but I feel like just as Logan seems very American George is just so British which would probably be weird for me and I just don't think our sense of humor is similar or our personalities really. I don't think he is a bad person I just don't think I could get along good enough to be friends and he would probably be someone that would annoy me in some way after like the third time meeting (just a feeling.)

Nyck I just don't really care for? Sure I wouldn't say no to meeting him but this man just seems like he has 0 interest in me or the other way around I just don't think I could be bothered to for a friendship with him or even try to reach out. I wouldn't say he is a bad person I just think after seeing him in FE something about him is off-putting to me and would stop me from reaching out after maybe a long conversation and a first meeting.

I would be so interested in talking to Alonso but I feel like he would probably be someone I would be very wary with. I just do not trust him and I would also be intimidated by him for a reason I can not name. There are bad vibes here but I also think he has matured so they aren't as bad as they maybe were when he was younger. But this man just feels like he would not like me and possibly insult me without meaning to but it would stick with me.

Charles is just not someone I would be friends with. Do not trust that girl hopper eventhough I think he has a kind heart and would be lovely to chat to. I would treasure that conversation but leave it there because that man seems too perfect sometimes which is a warning. While I think you would be fine for a chat once or even a longer meeting, everything else after that would be cautious and I would be aware of just this feel of alertness.

Lando would annoy me. That man would piss me off quickly and probably many times so yeah. Maybe he doesn't mean to but his personality, his attitude, would absolutely clash with mine and make me be a dick in return.

Ricciardo is the same expect I would be pissed off with his optimism and sunshine attitude if I had a shit day. I also feel like he would just be too much for my overstimulated brain quiet a lot which would already make me see him negative eventhough he isn't a bad person. His personality and just charm would become grating to me.

Max is pretty self-explanatory I think that man is thinking about either racing or sex 24/7 so yeah hell no. Not to mention there are so many people that are red flags in his close circle it's like a glaring flashing sign.

Perez is a catholic cheater, that says it all. Also made sexist comments, so I would insult his ass the first time I open my mouth.

Hulkenberg with the sexist comments also and giving me a big red flag since I started watching F1. Would not like to talk to him, would not trust him or ever think about being friends with him. There's an arrogant and irritating aura that he gives me which just raises my inner alarm.

Gasly is a big ick if I ever saw one. That man is just very weird and is not raising my alarms but rather I am already on the way to escape. Just racid vibes especially when I imagine him with women there's a sense of wariness.

I would feel the urge to clock this man on sight. I do not even know why but he would definitely think his creepy behaviour is charming, he would use his good lucks for shitty things which would piss me off and he would definitely be an ex-boyfriend of one of your friends that if given the chance you would deck. Screams cheater and weirdo that hides behind the nice guy facade.

@griim

"Why wouldn't I have to worry about that?" A brow twitched upwards. Her past and her family were something she worried about damn near every waking moment that she could and with good reason. Gemma knew that as much as she wished it, her father wouldn't kill her well, not physically. But Matthew would rip out everything that made her who she was, leaving nothing more than an empty shell. A doll to make whoever he wants that day. Not that Nathaniel knew that, and she wasn't sure she was ready to let the man in on that secret. Though Gemma assumed he would not be surprised by the revelation, this was HYDRA they were talking about here. While walking, she takes a deep breath in, 'it's the past, Gem, let it die. You aren't their lab rat anymore. And, one day they will know your pain. And more.' But, her whole make them feel the pain would not happen anytime soon if she and Nathaniel did not have some form of trust. Though she assumed forcing it would only make it worse.

Eyes rolled, a head shake followed, "Nah, you didn't kick my ass. I had you running and on the ropes. Come on, I could have shot you back there and won, but I was being merciful." She glanced over and winked, "I can tell it was a good choice." In all reality, though, Gemma knew that he could probably outright kick her ass simply because he had the serum and other things that made him have the upper hand. "Besides, for you being a super soldier, I think I kept up pretty well, all things considered." Gemma shrugged, "oh? I am sure they didn't let women serve for starters, huh? Well, at least to my extent. But yeah, things have changed... For the better? Who the hell knows, but militaries got to adapt to the time and climate." ' And sometimes that change leaves the country to treat its soldiers like numbers and cannon fodder.' Jaw tenses at that thought. Gemma knew it to be true. "Maybe, though when I found out it was HYDRA, I was going to botch the job anyways. I don't work for people like that. I may have only a few boundaries, and HYDRA crosses every single one." Chuckling, she looked down, "I'm only confident because if you aren't, people tend to eat you alive, and where I come from... Confidence helps you not break... Even when you want to." Damn it, she thought, why am I getting so deep with him? "Damn right, we make sure when they try to take us, we make it hell for them." Winking, Gemma was prepared to burn down cities if she had to. It was time HYDRA and her father are stopped, for good. And he had a point, nodding she agreed, "yeah it would be weird seeing you pop up. And I am sure HYDRA would be all over that."

"--- Well... I've heard crazier if I'm honest." Her being one of those 'crazy' stories. Though right now was not the time or the place for her to share about that. There were too many ears and eyes, and she was paranoid enough as it is. Gemma hoped that Nate would trust her and follow him to her guy. However, if he wanted to back out, she would understand and do her best to help him in any way, even if it was from afar. Everyone deserves a chance at freedom. Well, most people. "Yeah, he was someone I considered a brother... He knows shit about me most people don't. Plus he's an all-around nice guy, makes a great steak." She glanced over, "you hungry?" She asked while continuing to stride beside him, "well, get used to it. Because you are a person, Nate. And HYDRA will know your name by the end of this."

"We are to work together, aren't we?" He questions back, looking over at her. This was a tentative partnership but what he did know was the fact that neither wanted to be caught by HYDRA. What her relationship and experience with them was, he wasn't sure and he wasn't about to ask. That was her own thing to deal just as was, in a way. She knew more about him from what they no doubt told her and what he had to say to get this to even work. Still, after that she didn't pry and so neither would he. Besides it seemed for right now, they at least were already picking up some form of banter. "If I remember correctly, you were the one on the ground." Nathaniel said with a tossed glance in her direction. "I could have crushed you before you reached for your gun." But that wasn't who he was, not anymore. Hell, it wasn't who he would have been if he had control to begin with. However, they made that instinct within him there and he fought against it and won thankfully. "I can admit you kept up well, I'll give you that."

She had skill, that he was never going to deny. Gemma had made him bleed and if he hadn't of broken through to her, she no doubt would have shot him. It would have been enough to take him down and get him back to who hired her. "Um, not exactly. Reserves they were allowed, it was just no front lines. None could fight. And from what I did see, no one should see war." He half mumbled, something she was sure to understand knowing that she served. Still the redhead shrugged. "So yeah, not to your extent. Adapting makes sense, sadly." Another tossed glance her way as they kept moving, his hands stuffed into his pockets but making sure he was aware of their surroundings. Even if he looked relaxed, he was alert. It helped make him blend in easier. "Probably why they didn't tell you." Nathaniel pointed out. "I'd hope most would but I doubt that." His gaze is directed to the ground, icy blue eyes catching his reflection in a puddle. Only once more reminding him how he felt almost like a shell of his former self.

Though her next reply has his attention shifting back to her, brow furrowing. That was the talk of someone who had seen and been through enough on their own. She was right of course. If one didn't have confidence in what they did, just the right amount of it, then they'd be dead. But not just them, everyone else around them who trusted them. He doesn't say anything, just lets that hang in the air and maybe only offers a small nod, if she sees it. It also doesn't get by him how she switches up the mood, something else that isn't surprising, brushing past the brief moment that let him see just a little bit more into who she was. But again, he wasn't going to pry. This was new to the both of them and he had no place in getting more out of her. He didn't earn that right. So instead he offers a smirk and a more obvious nod in agreement. "We take them out, only seems fair." And it was good to be on that kind of same page. "Any chance they can get, they'd be after me." Until he had his head fixed.

His brow furrowed together and he nodded slowly. "Right, I know Captain America isn't different. Same with his buddy, Bucky. And I read something about aliens?" Nathaniel was still doing his best to catch up and he found it was a lot more than he expected. Still, it was actually nice to have someone even partially have his back. Someone who talked to him the way she did, with conviction that he would get to be his own person again and make HYDRA fear him. It made a genuine small smile tug at his lips. "I, uh, yeah I'm hungry." He looks down a moment, attempting to hide the small smile. "I'll be sure to do that, that's all I can do with this life I feel. To make up for what I did." He shrugged, head lifting and looking over at her. "How much longer do we have to go?" The redhead couldn't help but ask and it was maybe because for the first time he had help in being his own person again, for finding that freedom he hadn't had in over eighty years.

Women in gaming and on twitch often get stalked by “role playing” accounts that pretend to be them to talk about violent things or pretend to be someone stalking them and worse. They often id as black men and it makes sense now these are porn addict white boys literally using black likeness for stalking fantasies.

It's common for white men with cockhold fantasies to imagine a black guy fucking his wife

They're very weird people and most of their ideas about poc come from porn. Porn is the melting brains of people that didn't know much about anything

When I was in uni and I'd befriend white boys sometimes they would be odd, almost like they were surprised I'm just a person with her own quirks

Epic GTA 6: Explore the 8 Wants Great NPCs, Less Sprawl, and Mod Magic!

Epic GTA 6

8 desires for GTA 6 Improved NPCs, less sprawl, a well-written female character, mod support, and more.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming

Rockstar Games calls it “The next Grand Theft Auto” and will release the first trailer in December.

Some big GTA 6 leaks in 2022, including video clips, revealed a lot about the game. It appears to be set in Vice City in modern times (after GTA 5) and will have two protagonists to switch between, a man and a woman.

After that, anyone can guess, and we love guessing. There are 8 GTA 6 features we want.

They have enjoyed GTA Online for years, but he will wonder what it would be like without the mess. The multiplayer branch of GTA 5 exceeded Rockstar’s initial goals, and it shows every time you log in.

Different actions are tied to different menus depending on whether they were envisioned when the game was first made or added later. The inconsistent reward structures of different releases make older content feel unrewarding and unwanted. Groups are forced into weird ad-hoc corporations, which must be swapped out during the session if your friends want to be rewarded for their business investments.

Rockstar has a chance with GTA 6 to create an online mode worthy of GTA Online’s popularity and systems and structures that can support an evolving world. GTA Online could have been amazing, but it allowed for great moments around garbage mountains. If Rockstar fixes the infrastructure, GTA 6’s multiplayer could be unstoppable.

A strong female protagonist

Lucia appears to be one of GTA 6’s protagonists, based on leaks from last year. Even before the leaks, this seemed like a safe request for Rockstar’s next mega game. she want more than bare minimum an interesting woman who holds her own in the story and contributes to GTA’s satire of American culture without being the butt.

Maintain stereotypes. If Lucia is Latina, as rumored, she shouldn’t be femme fatale. If she’s bilingual, let Rockstar hire bilingual writers so she sounds like a person, not a sitcom.

Features Producer Mollie Taylor: After years of playing GTA Online as a woman, he want a strong, well-written female protagonist in the next mainline game. They love beating guys as her biker gal OC, and he think GTA 6 needs a badass woman. he want the ensemble cast trend to continue with a strong, smart woman who terrifies the other playable characters.

People say a female protagonist wouldn’t fit in with Rockstar’s universe, but that’s nonsense. Women can be criminals and gang leaders. Now give.

Mod support official

GTA has always been heavily modified, but the steps modders have to take to create them and the challenges players face when trying to run them are absurd when official mod support would make it so much easier.

The top GTA Online streams on Twitch are always heavily modded roleplay servers. Why not give streamers and fans a big set of modding tools since players and viewers love them? However, Rockstar tolerates mods (Take-Two does not), but tolerance is not support. When GTA 6 launches, she will hope their mod philosophy changes.

Those who enjoy non-violent activities enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2’s sometimes irritating focus on treating Arthur Morgan as a human. Even though my Arthur kept saying “heeeey miSTER” too often, pulling left trigger to bark a few basic greetings at people going about their day was a good way to give a Rockstar protagonist some verbs other than run and shoot.

They enjoyed making bullets and polishing Arthur’s revolvers on long horseback rides. Grand Theft Auto could use more world interaction like this, and GTA Online’s roleplay servers show that players like mixing mundane tasks into chaos murder games.

She don’t mind the occasional five-star police escape, but she would like more non-violent activities in our next coastal city. Rockstar learned this in GTA Online. Creating a wardrobe or custom cars is a major draw. Rockstar added an official car meet mode last year (which players farm for XP). she had fun playing GTA5’s triathlons and golf courses, but GTA 6’s life sim would be better with work and leisure.

Euphoria-like NPC interactions

GTA 4, a technical leap from GTA: San Andreas, started the modern Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar North heavily featured Euphoria, a third-party physics technology, and made the world’s NPCs react more’realistically’ to events. Driving slowly near pedestrians who put their hands on the bonnet (and sometimes floor it and cackle) still thrills me.

Since Rockstar’s NPCs are still the best, Grand Theft Auto 6 must change how we view them. Video games still repeat, use inappropriate lines, and ignore the world’s atmosphere and your character’s actions.

A simple woman with a customized apartment worth billions. He like building. Build things in the Sims. Building in Valheim, Minecraft, and any game that lets me. He fight to unlock tat and trophies for that space.

GTA Online and Red Dead Online give players limited control over their space through themes they can buy and apply to their properties. If they are making the biggest and best GTA 6, they want to design and tweak properties in its online and singleplayer modes.
