#it's never too late to actually read... likel...

[colorisbyshe]

seeing a term from michael kimmel is so funny because he writes a lot about toxic masculinity which is a term that made this website raving fucking mad a couple years ago despite it being very, VERY Claer that none of you actually read up what it meant

so you were mad at like Soft Uwu Boys misusing it but applying it to the term itself

when in fact... toxic masculinity and aggrieved entitlement are like... two sides of the coin and both terms are about how men view women (and femininity BECAUSE of its association with women) as a class that has to be subjugated and to be associated with womanhood at all is appalling and needs to be stamped out. and how the primary solution to these attitudes amongst men... is other men... like this is a man made, man-fixed problem. toxic masculinity also takes into account things like white supremacy and homophobia... so it was... a pretty great framework

but instead y'all took the term toxic masculinity and thought it was saying that only some men are oppressive or that if men act soft they arne't oppressors or some shit

and then got mad

I know you're a major Daisuke/Wallace shipper, but may I ask which other ships with Daisuke you like too, if any? (^・ω・^ )

(in my case i multiship him with a ton of characters... Lately more into TakeDai thanks to Shiha lol)

Ahhh, sorry it took so long for me to answer this!!

Oh, Ni. NI. Do you really want to open up the floodgates of shipping with me?? (bless you)

So, I developed the habit of just not talking about Digimon ships on the Internet many years ago, despite it being the primary thing that was fueling my creative output for a significant period of time (like… 2007-2014, probably??). But yeah, for most of my time on Tumblr, there was no way I was gonna talk directly about Digimon ships, because I’m always scared about the potential backlash such posts may receive (trying to get over that, though!). A few ships have breached brain-containment: Wallsuke and Taijyou, obviously, Taishiro and Nishihime maybe less-obviously (these days). But I feel more comfortable talking about those since they’re (mostly) rarepairs, the haters are minimal/nonexistent, fans of those pairs are chill and awesome, and I guess they just feel “safer” than some of the rest of the Adventure/02/tri/Kizuna shipping minefield XD

I would LOVE to make a chart like the one @reliablejoukido did showing my OTP thru NOTP feelings though! Back in 2012 I know I made a numerical matrix-type thingy for my preferences, but I never published it anywhere and I’m guessing they’ve changed a bit ^^; If I ever found time to make my own template in this day and age, I’d do it, but alas, time makes fools of us all! 🥲

All that is to say, I’m also a multishipper, and I absolutely have other Daisuke ships!! I have ended up on kind of a personal crusade to put more Wallsuke out in the world these past few years, which is why it kind of accidentally ended up being my primary Daisuke ship (oops). It doesn’t mean all those other ships are gone and forgotten, though!

I’m generally using REALLY OLD American English Fandom ship names in this post, only because that’s how I refer to them in my own head. Please don’t think too hard about the spelling/order/capitalization/punctuation of them, because I’m not! I assure you these designations don’t mean anything in this context other than “the relationship between these characters in some platonic or romantic way, explanation to follow.” TL;DR for everyone reading this: don’t be rude about shipping on this post, and don’t nitpick my terminology, please! I’m old, and so, so tired of fandom drama.

And now, without further ado, and in no particular order… DAISUKE SHIPS! ᕕ(ᐛ) ᕗ

Daiyako (Miyako/Daisuke)

I love them as friends hanging out or casually dating. They’re so!!! Well, they’re pretty similar in how strong their convictions are and how open they are about their feelings, which means they agree on a lot of things but also have the potential to clash a lot, which is a dynamic I REALLY enjoy for them. In a romantic scenario, I can definitely see them as going from arguing about something inconsequential to making out in about 3 seconds flat (maybe with a side of “how did we end up here??” ehehehe). IDK, they both give off disaster bisexual vibes to me, and I’m 100% here for that!

Daiken (Ken/Daisuke)

Really great, obviously, either romantic or platonic. They were Jogress partners (cue chorus of “oh my god, they were Jogress partners…”). I actually um. Don’t have a lot to say about this ship, but I do enjoy seeing it on my dash! Daisuke and Ken’s Christmas Carol and the entirety of Revenge of Diaboromon are all-time classics in my mind and I do secretly like one-sided Kaiser/Daisuke or mutual Kaiser/Daisuke Kaiser… shhhh

Daikari (Hikari/Daisuke)

Like, honestly yes. Daisuke, I am rooting for you! I mostly enjoy them as a friendship or in a “falling in love once they grow up and mellow out a bit” context. This is also how I feel about Junpei/Izumi from Frontier, by-the-by. Both pairs give off similar vibes (to me), but I’m more likely to gravitate to thinking about Junzumi because I just. Junpei does NOT get enough love, respect, or attention in general, and I would LOVE to see more portrayals of fat-positive romance for him, specifically.

Daikeru (Takeru/Daisuke)

So, I’ll admit I have a really hard time writing Takeru, which means I don’t do a very good job of imagining him in Situations(tm), but I have read/seen a fair bit of this pair romantically and I like it, I just also don’t have a lot to say about it (I’m sensing a theme!). Once again though, I will happily read what others put out there. Please, fic writers, help me understand how Takeru thinks! He’s such a mystery to me.

Daichi (Taichi/Daisuke)

The admiration Daisuke shows his senpai in canon is very endearing, even if it can seem a bit lopsided (though maybe, by the time Revenge of Dioboromon concludes, the admiration IS quite mutual??). I do like thinking about them as a mentor/mentee pair though, or equals/brothers-in-arms, learning from each other as they compare notes on leadership and decisionmaking.

Daimi (Mimi/Daisuke)

I loooooove their friendship!! IDK, between the NY segment of the World Tour Arc and the Door Into Summer audio drama, it’s there, right? Anyway, I still say these two are the Treat Yo’ Self squad for the Adventure kids, and I love picturing that dynamic for them.

I think me answering this ask is a bit of a stealth request for (short) fic recs that feature these relationships, lmao. I used to casually browse fanfiction a lot more than I do now, I guess I’m too picky or something (plus I have a HUGE backlog of mutuals’ fanfics to read, augh sorry!). And I didn’t mention it, but romantic thruples are good too! I would be interested in reading… oh, I don’t know, pretty much any combination of the older 02 characters in a polyamory situation (Dai/Ken/Miyako, Hikari/Takeru/Dai, Ken/Dai/Takeru, Dai/Miya/Wallace, etc).

So yeah. Shipping!! I love it. Does this mean the floodgates are finally open? IDK, but you could try sending me another Digimon character to see if I’d talk about the ship(s) I have for them!

[the-scythes-pen]

Masturbation/NSFW Headcanons

Lucifer

Lucifer is always down to fuck. Anytime, anywhere. This man is always horny

BUT.... he never masturbates. Never.

He can. He could. But he doesn't want to. Just... doesn't feel like it.

He's got the willpower of a god, he really doesnt need to masturbate

Even if he's teasing his S/O over a call, he'll almost never actually touch himself, instead just purely focusing on his partner's pleasure, torture, and satisfaction

He'll only really ever touch himself if his S/O wants him to during phone sex or something. Or, if he really wants to tease his S/O, he'll send them pics of him with his hard cock in his hand, precum leaking from the tip as he thumbs his head

Mammon

My mans got the libido of a teenage boy

He is CONSTANTLY horny, gets horny over the smallest things, is CONSTANTLY hiding boners from everyone (he's actually gotten really good at it) and is constantly jacking it

He's got his own toys he uses on himself

Everyone knows about his masturbation habits. Everyone. Nobody wants to, but unfortunately you get to know your housemates quite well when you live with them for a few centuries.

He's teased about how he's constantly jacking it. Mostly by Asmo, as everyone else just finds talking about it gross. But if Levi is especially mad, he'll target his bro's habits

He has gotten a boner from seeing/having huge piles of grimm before. He's jacked it to Goldie before. He is only slightly ashamed.

Has watched porn before, has recorded himself masturbating before, has done cam shows before

Levi

Oh, you know he's a little horny bitch (affectionate) <3

But he only ever masturbates to hentai, and usually he doesn't go out of his way to watch it

It'll just happen that theres sex in this anime he's watching.... or there's this NSFW audio by a voice actor that he has to listen to because he's a loyal fan....

He's got SO many fantasies, but one of his favourites has to be commanding tentacles to fuck you while he watches

.....or you sucking him off under his desk as he plays a game

He can and will get envy boners, where he had to run back to his room, get angry, and furiously jack off while complaining about how unfair everything is

Satan

Surprisingly has a lot of control over himself, but does occasionally masturbate anyway

Mostly does it when a book he's reading gets really, really good....

Then his mind wanders and he can't stop thinking about you :/ and he can't help himself....

Can and will get hate boners

His libido shoots through the roof when he gets furious, and sometimes all he can do is very aggressively jack it in his room to try and pacify himself and control his wild magic

He won't otherwise randomly get horny; only getting turned on by steamy books or roaming thoughts

Asmo

Funny enough, he really doesn't seem to get horny all that often?

Although that's his secret cap, he's always horny

Can will a boner into existence if he so chooses, also can will it back down

He's gotten toys for Mammon as a joke before, only to realize that hey, these actually seem pretty nice- so he'll get some for himself too

Has a collection of toys he never uses

He almost never masturbates, as instead he gets laid enough to satisfy himself

Has done a cam show before though, but only once- he didn't like offering such a wonderful show to so many people at once when he barely received anything in return... (he's not Mammon, grimm isn't enough)

Reads porno magazines for fun. Recommends them to his brothers constantly

.....has loaned said magazines to his brothers if he sees they've been stressed out lately, slipping them under the door of their room only to find the magazine back in his room a little later

Specifically has hentai manga for Levi

Beel

Doesn't masturbate often at all purely because he doesn't get horny all that often

But he has and will jack it alone in the locker room post workout, covered in sweat or fresh from a shower wearing nothing but a tank top and a pair of pulled down shorts

You're more likely to get photos from him if he's in a horny mood. Usually he'll show off his muscles, glimmering with sweat or dripping from a shower

Other times, he may just straight up send a pic of himself in the locker room infront of a mirror with his dick out, hand wrapped tightly around the base

It's very rare he'll jerk it at home tbh, again, mostly just because he rarely gets horny

He's also worried Belphie may walk in on him, so if he does it at home it will probably be in the shower, or at least in the bathroom

Belphie

Isn't afraid to palm himself after an especially lovely dream, no matter where he is

He's pretty unashamed, particularly because somehow he's never been caught?

He'll literally whip out his dick in the middle of the HOL library after waking up on the couch and nobody will even walk by

Although if he is caught- it's by you. And it's entirely on purpose. As in, not your purposeful doing- but his. He wanted you to catch him. He'll pause for a moment as you walk in, then shoot you a dangerous smirk before continuing, not even looking away from you

He can randomly get super horny even when he's awake though

So in that case, he'll usually go and do it in the attic, or in a bathroom stall at RAD if needed

Diavolo

I'd say.... perhaps he gets horny a healthy amount? But maybe his libido is a little on the low side. He doesn't masturbate often at all, and usually only does when he can't stand being horny any longer or needs some serious stress relief

Nobody has ever caught him. Not even Barbatos.

He only jerks it in his office at the castle or in his bedroom, but even still... you'd think Barbatos would have known what he was doing at least once in all the centuries he's been serving the prince... but nope. Never.

He's quite guilty of texting you while his cock is held tight in his hand, asking you about your day or how your studies are going while he continues

He won't even miss a beat when he cums. He'll respond aptly and appropriately

He's very good at hiding boners and recovering from such a state- so if something suddenly needs his attention, he can definitely handle it with little problem.

Barbatos

Another demon who almost never masturbates

Really.... he doesn't ever get horny?

He's always DTF, but never outright feels... horny. Like he needs relief.

Although he has jacked off once or twice when forced to take a day off, purely because he's aware he needs to relax a little more and this would be the perfect way to do so

He's got one toy he uses on said days off, but otherwise he just sticks to using his hands

Barbatos is also extremely good at recovering from such a state- being able to pad down his boner and tend to whatever emergency has risen

While Diavolo texts, Barbatos calls- he'll ask if he can call you for a small chat, just to pass the time or hear your voice, but he knows exactly what he's doing when he lets out a shaky breath into the microphone and speeds up the pacing of his hand to cause deliciously lewd wet sounds to seep their way into the call. He knows what he's doing, and he loves the way your breath hitches once you realize what's going on.

Simeon

Sweet, sweet Simeon.... he's always so shy when it comes to touching himself

He rarely ever does it because of that- and he doesn't really ever get randomly horny, either.... but he's not one who's able to control rampaging thoughts when he sees you in quite a... revealing state

Really, he didn't mean to walk in on you after your shower! He apologizes profusely, genuinely regretful- but he'd be damned if he turned a blind eye to your body, dripping with water and absolutely dazzling.

He'll let out soft, small whimpers as he palms his cock through his pants, eventually giving in to desire as he can't help but picture your body underneath his as he worships every inch of your skin....

He's absolutely adorable when he masturbates; always so careful about how loud he is, where he is, who might come around.... and his face is flushed, he's sweating lightly and his voice is shaky as he lets out a small moan of your name

Sometimes you'll appear in his dreams as well, riding him oh-so gently and looking absolutely divine on top of him like that.... and he can't help but rub one out early in the morning before getting out of bed....

Solomon

This sorcerer has been alive for so long, gone through so many different phases and levels of desire and so much more

And over the years his desires have faded; despite having such a close bond with Lust itself.

But that doesn't mean his own lust is gone- oh no. He meets you, gets to know you, talks to you more and more and more....

And before he knows it, his hand is lingering a little to long on your arm, a knee pressed against yours unnecessarily; he's pulling you into his body and out of the way of passing demons, he's hovering a little too close for being just a friend at a club-

Oh ho ho, you bring out all the dirty little fantasies in this sorcerer's head.

He still may not masturbate a lot, mostly because he doesn't have the time/desire to no matter how lustful he may feel, but that doesn't stop his thoughts from constantly being filled with all the different ways he could fuck you.

Literally; you have consumed this man; mind, body and soul. He's down bad for you, and he's got the dirtiest fantasies playing in his head when he jerks off.

[janiedean]

hello dearest (not) anon, excuse me if I don’t reply to you directly but as I want to block each single one of you I’ll keep the original so I can lovingly delete it after I’m finished. :)

now, I was this tempted to just delete or troll you, but as y’all have honestly seemed to not realize that you’ve gone overboard and that I didn’t want to get further involved with this dumb shipwar but you’re basically making me go like

so fine, whatever, I’ll address this one because it has all the single dumbest arguments we could have and I kind of want it for safekeeping, so.

point one: starting an ask with you freaks and then complain we don’t complain about jaime calling brienne ugly makes me wonder if you actually re-read your asks before you send them or if you even bother to make sure they’re internally coherent, because sorry but you’re basically saying this entire fandom is made of **freaks** which last I know was not a compliment to anyone’s aesthetic, so you already don’t have ground to stand on;

point two: stupid is actually a universally degrading word when referred to a specific person and used to undermine their intelligence, especially if continuously repeated. now, in *itself* it’s not damning - an argument can be stupid, a discussion can be stupid (I mean I’ve seen people savagely arguing over who had to wash the dishes, that’s a stupid reason to argue with anyone), a law can be stupid (all of italian bureaucracy is definitely a challenge for anyone for one), of course it’s all about how it’s used. for one, if used ironically and not meaning it, as in ‘my stupid son charging against dragons’, it’s not damning either, because wow, wait a moment, every single person who says that also knows that jaime is doing that out of ptsd fight instinct and that there’s nothing funny about it, but as we are people outside the narrative who love the character, we don’t mean it in a demeaning way. obviously charging at a dragon is suicidal, and it’s exactly what he’d have done (probably also in book canon I’ll give them that), but we all know why he did it, and btw dork is nowhere near on the same level as the stupidest lannister, it can be meant positively as well and tbh it’s used way more positively than that - I mean, there’s dorks in love and idiots in love as ao3 tags, no one uses them to insult the people in the ship they’re writing about now, do they? however, the whole thing about ‘the stupidest lannister’ is completely different because it implies cersei, someone jaime trusts implicitly and who’s his sister and, to him, also his lover and his other half - going by your own/their own definition - continuously demeaning his intelligence. now, I don’t think you quite realize how emotional abuse works or how that works, but let me tell you: if people you are that close with or have a fundamental impact in your upbringing (your parents, your siblings, your first teachers etc.) tell you that all the time, you end up believing that. and what comes with it? if you think you’re more stupid then them, then it means that their decisions will be better than yours because you’re too dumb to take them properly and they’re not, and you won’t even start to wonder that maybe they’re wrong and you’re right, and it’s an exceedingly common thing that happens between abusers and their victims, ie convincing them that they’re not smart enough to know what’s good for themselves, and so coming from cersei who also doesn’t want jaime to put two and two together and realize he’s a different person from her and actually, worse, doesn’t even consider the possibility that he might actually not be a different person from her, it’s straight up emotional abuse of the ugliest kind and it has nothing to do with *fans of the character* calling him a dork over his utter lack of smoothness when hitting on people, because we know why he doesn’t know how to hit on people. other than that, in the show they made jaime canonically dyslexic. now, if you even don’t get that calling someone stupid for thirty years will do a great fucking lot of damage to them (I mean, I’ve been told I was snobbish for three years by a teacher I didn’t even particularly admire in my formative years and I still have to finish unpacking the consequence of that shit, I can’t imagine being constantly demeaned by your relatives or people you trust implicitly) I doubt you’ll realize the fucking wrongness depths of the implication that the only lannister with a canon in-show learning disability is *the stupidest lannister* especially when there’s still the stigma about dyslexic people being dumb because *they can’t read* when that’s not true at all and they just need different ways of approaching a text and then they’re good to go and it has nothing to do with how smart or no they aren’t, but I’m going to tell you: it’s ableist as hell, falls under harmful stereotypes about dyslexic people that tv shows should go against, not reinforce and it has really disgusting connotations, so excuse me if I am pressed about it and other people are pressed about it and your opinion belongs in the trash and I really hope you’re not a teacher not are planning to become one;

point three: now we go at how you don’t get at all how those two work and how brienne’s character is structured, but here, let me explain you: a) jaime calls her ugly when they meet and after he loses the hand he only calls her ugly in his head and/or to her face when he’s irritated or she has misunderstood his intentions or he feels hurt by the fact that she misunderstood his intentions (when he gives her oathkeeper in the books), and in the show he stopped mid S3. on the other side, she calls him an oathbreaker and all the worst things she can call him - if you missed it, they insult each other and they start their relationship thinking the worst of the other person, and even with that he spends the entire first chapter of his in asos checking her out but you didn’t notice that I suppose; b) jaime does not call her ugly at all after he punches ronnet connington and in the show again he hasn’t since mid s3, and given that they were supposed to start as enemies and she insulted him right back, I won’t be here being pressed about them trading insults when the entire point of the story is that they stop insulting each other after they get to know each other and get closer to each other, or have you missed that too? c) the fact that he calls her ugly is actually narratively important because let me explain you something that you don’t know because you obv. haven’t read brienne’s chapters: most of the time she remembers being hurt by other men when it comes to her feelings, it’s when she found out they lied to her about her looks. she got her first trauma related to her looks when her septa told her that people who called her pretty were lying, and she got hurt during the bet with hyle and so on because those people were courting her and telling her nice things and then they were all planning on screwing her literally and metaphorically, so if someone went to brienne and told her ‘oh hey you look hot as hell let’s bang!!’, she wouldn’t believe them. let me guarantee you, she wouldn’t. the fact that jaime did not compliment her at all if not going all the way around to do it about her fighting prowess and maskerading it as insults means that he never lied to her about her looks or about anything, and the fact that then he changes and genuinely respects her and trusts in her and gives her THE THING SHE’S WANTED MOST IN HER LIFE ie a sword and a knightly quest and someone actually believing she could be a knight and carry out her vows instead of thinking she was a joke weights a lot more than any insult he might have thrown at her in the past and actually, she can trust him to not make fun of her/she can know for sure he’s not joking exactly because he never had a problem with calling her ugly (which she knows she is according to westeros beauty standards in the beginning) nor to tell her mean things when he thought them, and so since he never lied to her before and she can see that he changed, she has no reason to think he could or would lie to her after, and considering that most of her trauma is tied to having been lied to in that sense... sorry but no, it doesn’t bother me at all because if it’s an enemies to lovers kind of trope I really don’t think I’d expect him to gift her flowers at their first meeting. I mean, *enemies* to *lovers* implies that at the beginning they don’t like each other, or did you forget that words have meanings? also, hairy is not an insult. I suppose that for people who insult other people about the peach fuzz mustache most women have it would be an insult, but let me tell you: it’s not. and given that I’ve seen posts over posts about how it’s an expression of feminism to not shave I really think you haven’t even checked that discourse lately - personally I don’t care for it but like, having body hair is not automatically a crime nor a reason why you’re unattractive. get lost. and like, excuse me if insults traded by people who didn’t know each other and that they both outgrew when they did know each other are nowhere near on the same level of making someone think they’re too fucking stupid to take their own decisions and always have to follow someone else’s lead, and excuse me if I’m way more than mildly worried that anyone in this fandom would look at that stupidest lannister bullshit and actually don’t feel horrified at it.

now, honestly, can y’all just stop with this grasping at straws which happens to also be ableist as hell while pretending to give a fuck about brienne as a character - because you don’t, it’s obvious from how you don’t understand her issues at all - and keep to your own lane or what? because honestly, it’s obvious no one has ever called you ugly in your life and that you never had to deal with anyone demeaning your intelligence because you were most likely too busy demeaning other people’s, but you’ve been at this bullshit since 2013.

didn’t you get bored?\
