suddenly remembered this thing from an old interview soooo

Q: You mentioned that the characters, Suzumi Hiyori and both Someya Yujiro and Shibasaki Aizo of LIPxLIP, were created at the same time, but how did they come to be?

Yamako: Yujiro and Hiyori made their first appearance at the end of the MV for “Koiiro ni Sake” to indicate that a new generation was about to begin as the first generation of characters from the CEC graduated from high school. At that time, I didn’t have a specific vision for their future, but it gradually took shape as I thought up Aizo’s character visuals afterwards. I think LIPxLIP became idols because shito said that he wanted to create idol characters in the series.

shito: Yes, that’s indeed the case (laughs). Up till then, we had only written love songs for the CEC, but even before that, I had wanted to write idol songs. So, since we’re able to create our own characters and have them move around as we wish through our songs as HoneyWorks, I proposed the idea of creating a two-man idol unit. Around the same time, we also created Hiyori, a girl who could bring out the two-faced nature of the idols, since a completely ordinary girl like her would be able to bring out both their natural personalities and their bad-tempered natures (laughs). So I get the feeling that Hiyori naturally came about as we were creating LIPxLIP.

i am so thankful for government funded social assistance but i just remembered that they paid me too much housing benefits in september and i've been waiting for the social insurance institution's decision for three months now. it's not that much money, evidently i can afford to pay it back if that is the amount they cut my housing benefits by, but i've been laying in bed sweating over this for two hours now.

Possible MAJOR PAYDAY 2 and 3 spoilers under the cut

1 & 10! 😋

1. what song makes you feel better?

As It Was by Harry Styles

is the first that comes to mind for some reason 🤭. I think I associate this one with a streamer I watch, and of course, I love hanging out there, and I met some really nice people that I play games with every now and then. I'm so far from a Harry Styles fan, though, lol.

10. what’s something you’re excited for?

It's a little generic, probably, but definitely the New Year. I'm excited to see what will happen and how I'll grow as a person. I'm also excited to write and share more fics with everyone. You guys are always so sweet and supportive, and I'm glad I got the confidence to share things here 🥰🥰🥰.

obsessive ( nsfw ) obsessive toji f. x oblivious bttm male reader

Toji hated how oblivious you were.

You could run your pretty little mouth to a cafe worker and overlook the yearning in their eyes, or you would turn a blind eye to when your co-worker at your part-time job asks so blatantly for your number, but you just disregard it as just so you could be called in when they call sick.

He doesn't say anything about it, not when you two are out getting drinks — since it was your payday — and he sees a girl approach you, batting her eyelashes blotted black with mascara and throwing meaningless compliments at you. He only glares, his hand slipped around your waist, squeezing the soft flesh there as if he was voicing his complaints through actions.

But of course you brush him off, saying something along the lines of 'she probably wants to be friends,' which undoubtedly ticks him off.

A smile, however, graces his scarred lips when he sees the girl's eyes flicker to the hand around your sides and backs off ever so slightly and he swears he would never but he most definitely flipped her off while your attention was on her.

When your drinks were finally done, the worker handed it to you, and god did Toji almost throw a straight punch when he saw your fingers brush together. Why was everyone gunning for you? When he first started going out with you, he simply assumed that no one would dare come close because of his looks, but now, people didn't even look in his direction, only yours.

"You're like a fucking angel," He grunted under his breath, placing the paper straw that would eventually disintegrate from him chewing on it inbetween his lips to take a sip. You turn your head to ask him what he said, not being able to hear it through the rumble of his voice, but he replies with a blunt, "nothing."

Throughout your whole 'date,' Toji was just getting increasingly pissed off about the whole ordeal. Guys and girls were approaching you, trying to start up a conversation, and as the sweet little oblivious boy you were, you'd engage, which always ended in Toji having to scare them away with a glare and a hand wrapped around you.

The ride home was fairly quiet; Toji wasn't a man of many words but he couldn't shake off the jealousy that he desperately wanted to bury. His fingers brushed against his scarred lips, a habit he's adopted over the years, and his leg bounced repetitively before the words just spilt out from his mouth like gates opening. "Does it not bother you?" he speaks in a rather hushed tone, almost like he's trying to restrain the jealousy in his voice.

"Bother me how?" You question, getting out from your seat once you've reached your home. Toji is left trailing after you like a stray dog while the key chains on your keys clink together as you unlock your front door.

"When people are always coming up to you," Toji grumbles, extending an arm above your head to hold the door open for you. "They're interested in you, can't you see that?" His hands find their way to rest on your waist and he pulls your back to his chest. "I'm right here and you still wanna shoot your shot with someone else?" Toji has forgotten all about keeping his obsession over you at bay, all he wants to do is knock some sense into you.

Before you can even refute his words, Toji already has his hands crawling underneath your shirt. His large, thick fingers finding your chest to pinch at your nipples, twisting them lightly. One hand leaves your chest while the other is splayed across it, holding you back as he pulls at your waistband, stretching the elastic out to look down at you.

"Already hard and I've barely touched you," He tsked, and contradictory to his words, his hand wanders down to touch you more. He pulls at your pants, slipping them down until they pool at your ankles before he runs a finger along the bulge at your boxers.

You instinctively whine and grasp his forearms in a futile attempt to stop his hands but you just end up twitching in his hold. "What? Don't want it? Thought you loved attention," Toji slips his hand lower, trailing down so he could press the pad of his fingers to your hole through the fabric. There's barely any friction or penetration to get you going so your hips jerk back, pushing against Toji which elicts a low groan from the man.

"Yeah, yeah you do, you fucking love it," His laugh comes out harsh and he's folding himself ontop of you, getting you to bend over more. Both his thumbs link underneath your waistband and pulls it down with a small whistle. Toji's arm then constricts around your waist where your body bent, holding you up so you didn't fall or escape. For a second he holds you still and all you can hear is the clink of his belt coming off and the small pops of his buttons.

"Stay still for me yeah?" He growls in your ear, tugging at his own clothing to get them off. He snakes his hand to your front, curving underneath to slip a finger inside. His arm is brushing so lightly against your now erect cock, but he refuses to touch it.

You could feel every knuckle pushing into you, squeezing against his fingers as you panted. His other hand finally makes it to your dick, using his fingertips to pull your cock against your stomach, tracing his nails along the underside. This ripped out a moan from your throat, your arms thrashing around from the feeling but Toji's arms are so tangle with yours its hard to move.

"Oh? So that's where you're sensitive, huh?" He's blatantly mocking you, taking his anger out on you. You whine again when Toji starts to spread the fingers nestled inside your walls, scissoring you to stretch you out. "Open up for me baby, I know you ain't shy," he keeps his fingers apart, taking his own dick and lining it up to your gaping hole.

He pushed in, and once you fit his tip through, he pulls his fingers back out, plugging you with his thick dick.

Toji hums contently, grabbing both your arms and pulling them back to his sides. You're already arching and he's got a great view of your back. "I feel like you're gonna split in half, God," its a shaky laugh because of how much you're squeezing him, wringing him out of whatever he has to offer. He pulls his hips away from you before he slams back in, the hands on your wrists pulling you against him with each thrust.

You can't do anything with your hands pulled behind your back, Toji's just using your body, handling you like you were a puppet and your arms were the strings.

You can hear Toji groan in frustration but before you could question it, Toji moves his hands, gripping your thigh and pulling it up. His other hand holds your side, as he pistons his hips into you in this new position. "That's deeper, yeah?" He groans into your ear, and you wobble from being forced to stand on one leg but Toji just tightens his grip around your waist.

Your whole body shudders when Toji finally reaches your prostate, hitting right up against it. A grin slowly emerges onto Toji's face when he sees your eyes go blank, and he knows he's found your sweet spot. "There we go, shit I was getting mad 'cause you weren't reacting that much." Toji's fingers dig deeper into the plush flesh of your thigh, and he laughs breathlessly at the obscene sound of his balls hitting against your skin.

"You take it like a champ y'know," he whispers through his teeth, "I'm so mean to you but you don't complain, huh?"

You're too far gone to even hear his words, your warm, wet walls clenching around him as you let out a small cry before coming as hard as you could, the sticky liquid falling straight onto your wooden floors. Toji's condescending laugh rings through your ears as the hand on your waist moves to your tummy, pressing down so he could feel himself rearrange your guts.

And apparently, that gets him off. Alot.

With one more thrust, Toji groans loudly, emptying for all he's worth into you. He pulls out almost immediately so he could see the white globs drip down your inner thighs. He lets go of your thigh that he was previously holding in the air and squishes them together, slotting his cock back between your sticky thighs to ride out his high.

He's peppering light kisses and small bites on your shoulder before speaking in a husky voice, "You gonna let people hit you up?" He asks, and you can barely reply from the physical exhaustion, "...No."

[tuttle-did-it]

DS9 is about war. Like M*A*S*H, it’s about all wars. Every war. And, like M*A*S*H, they absolutely set out with the intention of hurting you. Not as much as M*A*S*H, of course— M*A*S*H was like hey for the next 10 years we are going to punch you in your emotional face repeatedly. And we might stab your soul… several times.., okay, way more times. Cool? Cool. We love you! Okay we’re going to stab you again. Ready?

DS9, tho, was like… hey. Hey guys. Erm… so… we have to make a deal with you. We’re going to show you what of probably the best Star Trek you’ve ever seen. Wait— don’t jump up yet. There’s a catch. We have to punch and stab you a few times, okay? Look, it’s not as often as M*A*S*H, but we’re not gonna hold back out punches like TNG did most the time. Duet. And here’s The Visitor. And Far Beyond the Stars… yeah, I won’t lie to you. We’re going to punch you a few times. Cool? Cool.

TOS shows a utopia where humans have advanced and are now decent species who don’t constantly try to destroy each other every moment.

Some TOS fans have a hard time accepting DS9 because they feel it is antithetical to Roddenberry’s vision. They don’t want allegories of fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or anything else. They want to be spoon-fed the hopeful and camp absurdity that humans will clean how to be decent people.

TOS- humans will advance and learn and grow and we will all live in paradise. Yay! Utopia! We are so amazing. Humans are the best! Now we get to go out into the universe and explore. (Please don’t actually recognise how racist and sexist and everything phobic our utopia is because we really are not willing to acknowledge it.) we’ve evolved. See, our tech! Our tech has evolved and we are great. And we do great things! We've solved hunger and housing and all the awful things in the world, we are worthy!! We are Good Humans, and we are ready for the universe!! Wooohoo!

DS9- it’s only paradise because you’re not looking at all the fascist dodgy stuff it took to create this paradise. And it’s easy to be a saint in paradise, it’s easy to be a decent person when you have food and clothes and shelter and everything you need. But under every paradise is a dark shady regime doing dark and shady things to keep you living in an ideal world. You are the Eloi, and you will not even acknowledge the Morlocks who are keeping your world moving. Quite frankly, the rest of the universe probably shouldn’t want to deal with us. Because when you take away our creature comforts and civilised technology we de-evolve back into the absolutely awful Neanderthals we always have been.

I probably would have started with Trials and Tribble-Ations, myself.

i've been trying to get my parents - who watched tos as it aired - into 90s trek.

tng is taking pretty well since they like cozy episodic stuff. the ds9 pilot went over okay although my mom said there was too many explosions and she prefers more individual human stories. so i was like ok, this can still work. i showed Explorers, and Facets, which they liked, and then i was like, well, i need to introduce kira, and also see if the deeper themes will click, so i tried Duet - the one where kira investigates a cardassian who's either a filing clerk or a gul of a bajoran labor camp - and they had to stop watching.

we're jewish, by the way. so that was why. just one generation of difference between me and them, and me - i am totally into allegorical depictions of fascism and colonialism and the individual's relationship to the nation they live under - and them - they can't do it, not even an allegory. no explosions, no cheesy tachyon fields, all just words, still a hard no. for me, ds9 is an ahead-of-its-time allegory for palestine. for them it was something different.

it's not like i don't have my own boundaries about discussion of irl politics, but when you're in the realm of fictional allegory, it wasn't the sort of thing i think of as needing a content warning for. it was pretty humbling.

i showed House of Quark as a palate cleanser. but i guess ds9 probably isn't for them. and i'm actually kind of wondering like. is that generational divide part of why ds9 wasn't widely received by its intended target audience at the time?

Okay so update his bf apologized (the one I was talking to in the first place) but I haven’t heard from the friend since he asked me if I could come to one of his shows
