#just wanted to see what my audience prefers

[bonsiii-art]

hiii! I absolutely adore the work you do with your art. I wanted to ask if you had any tips when it came to drawing faces/expressions? the expressions you do are so pleasing to look at.

Really sorry for answering this one super late; I was, for the most part, trying to decide if I wanted to draw something to convey what I mean or just type it out. I'm going with the former! >:P (Before you read, I want to preface that I am not the best at explaining things so if things sound too obtuse, I apologize! And ofc, some of these tips are a matter of preference! You do what you feel is best! :>)

Head angles and expressions go hand in hand with each other. A good angle with the right expression goes a long way in selling the mood that you want.

A massive help for me in this area is referenceangle.com! It's somewhat limited since it only draws from whatever database it uses. BUT, it's helpful to me to be able to visually see what a face at a specific angle will look like before simplifying it to key points for my style.

Now the lettered points in the img above: A - You can divide the head in two parts: the chin/mouth and the eyes/forehead. You can make the middle point being the tip of the nose. B - Keeping where the middle of the face is can help guide you to what features to adjust if something doesn't look right> C - In side profiles/near-side profiles, I draw the eyelash slightly jutting out which happens irl; I think it adds to the 3D-ness of the look. :> D - This one's a big tip, going back what I said about angles and expressions. Expressions alone can give you the visual info you need to know on how the character is feeling but head angles and body can send the message home twofold.

An example being that a character looking down on you can give a dominant, almost condescending vibe while a character looking up at you gives off a small, maybe sheepish feeling. A character looking straight ahead at you with a determined look demands your attention in a cool way! But at the same angle, with a lax, smiling look, the character can look creepy, almost unnerving. E - Often, when I draw characters looking up, I don't draw out the line between the head and neck and that's because I trust that the viewer knows that the chin didn't magically disappear, it's just not prominent enough to jut out for a hard line. Lines can do a lot to inform the audience about the shape of something!

EXTRA TIP BC IF IT CAN HELP ME, MAYBE IT CAN HELP YOU: ✨CANVAS FLIPPING✨

You drew a face you kinda like but it feels off? Flip the canvas and you might be able to see clearly areas where you can adjust it! There's a couple ways to do it: manually flipping every few adjustments you make when fixing the face OR like me, you can open another window of the canvas you're working on and having side by side with where you're working. I work with CSP so it updates in real time, allowing me to see how my changes are looking both ways.

My counterarguments to Nagito Komaeda influences Hajime Hinata into homosexual activities accompanied with his feminine aura he spreads through his toxic submissive homoerotic flirting by Goku Nr.1hater.

Note: I am fully aware that this account and the thread could be satire, but I decided to respond just for fun. Please know that I have no ill will towards the original poster (OP). My responses are portrayed seriously but are meant to be taken as informative and lighthearted. I will only address the first part of this thread due to the image limit and because I do not feel further follow-up is necessary. Additionally, I will not be discussing any religious incentives as I prefer not to engage in discussions about personal beliefs forming opinions on certain topics. Shoutout to suitov for reposting and sourcing the thread on Tumblr. (CW: Mentions of cancer and discussion of intimacy.)

The term 'rivals' is inaccurate for describing Hinata and Komaeda's relationship throughout the game. Rivals compete for a common goal or superiority over one another in a competitive setting, such as sports teams vying for titles and notoriety. Hinata and Komaeda's situation is more about conflicting goals and misconceptions. Komaeda's goal is driven by his ideology that hope is the absolute good, often achieved through sabotaging means. In contrast, Hinata's sole goal is survival, and as the protagonist, he is thrust into the role of investigator.

Furthermore, Komaeda's behavior often creates conflict between them. He exhibits antagonistic traits, such as challenging others' deductions and beliefs during Class Trials and displaying suspicious behavior through his blunt communication and off-putting mannerisms. However, he isn't purely an antagonist, as he both hinders and aids Hinata's ability to solve cases. We must remember that we view Komaeda through Hinata's eyes throughout the game. This means that we, as the audience, don't fully understand Komaeda's reasoning and thought processes. Our perception of his character is shaped by the narrative and others' opinions about him. We see Hinata's comments and reactions, as well as how his classmates often ostracize and villainize Komaeda. Consequently, the audience tends to do the same. This is why the Free Time Events (FTEs) are crucial—they provide insights into any given character that we wouldn't naturally get from the main story.

(Put a pin in that 'crush' part; I'll get back to it.)

Hinata doesn't despise Komaeda; he struggles to understand him. Hinata is a realist who is cynical and often blunt. He was disheartened by Komaeda's detrimental behavior during the first chapter. This incident changed their once casual relationship during the prologue to one of confliction for the rest of the game. This is why you can't access Komaeda's FTEs after the first chapter—Hinata would have no reason to engage in conversation anymore because Komaeda broke his trust. His responses reflect this, as he acts more defensive, dismissive, and annoyed.

Hinata also has a habit of walking away from complex or emotionally driven situations to clear his head, as seen several times during Komaeda's FTEs and in Chapter 2 when Komaeda was tied up in the old hotel. Despite this, Hinata is fundamentally empathetic, and even without the FTEs, you can tell his relationship with Komaeda was complex and that he did want to understand him.

In Chapter 5, after discovering Komaeda's body: (Note: I'm using the dialogue from the official English translation of Super Danganronpa 2, which fan translators have shown to be a poor translation. This includes tone, character speech patterns, and context.)

His response to the Monokuma file: "What a tragic situation... just reading this is making me depressed."

His response after checking the Monokuma file: "I... never thought I'd have to investigate Nagito's body..." "He probably didn't expect to end up like this either."

While investigating Komaeda's body: "I never expected Nagito...to die like this..." "He was always spouting nonsense about hope and trying to confuse the hell out of us..." "But even so...dying like this is just too cruel." "Also... he wasn't completely useless... There were times we were only able to reach the truth because of him." "But... everything good and bad about him is gone." "We'll never be confused by him again. We'll never be saved by him again..."

(As someone who studies neurology as a hobby, this had me in stitches. It took me several minutes to get a hold of myself.)

The images in the top right and left corners are of neuron cells. The myelin sheath is a protective structure around the axons of neurons that facilitates the effective transmission of communication within the nervous system. Axons are nerve fibers that connect neurons for communication. The myelin sheath prevents electrical signals from dissipating while traversing through the nerves, reducing the energy required for the task.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues, affecting the central nervous system (CNS), including the spinal cord and brain. MS specifically damages the myelin sheath, resulting in the disruption of electrical signals, leading to symptoms such as motor impairment, balance issues, and cognitive impairment, such as memory problems and difficulty with problem-solving skills. It can even cause loss of sight through optic neuritis, which involves inflammation or damage to the optic nerve. The optic nerve is a cranial nerve that connects the eyes to the brain. The other images are electrocardiograms (ECGs), which represent the electrical activity of the heart or heartbeat lines.

So, is the theory that Komaeda has MS? Because he doesn't; he has Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Malignant Lymphoma.

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that reduces tissue in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, leading to cognitive decline. Komaeda’s diagnosis is the behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD), which profoundly influences his behavior and personality. Patients with bvFTD experience disinhibition, an impulsive behavioral trait characterized by a loss of self-control and judgment due to gratification. This can lead to inappropriate social behaviors, comments, and repetitive behaviors. Patients often lose the ability to perceive others' emotions, leading to symptoms like apathy and withdrawal. Apathy is a loss of interest in activities and loved ones. This is why most patients with FTD often don't recognize that their behavior is inappropriate or detrimental.

Malignant Lymphoma is cancer developing in white blood cells called lymphocytes, resulting in the development of lymphoma in lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are a system of glands that filter germs and help fight infections. Lymphoma is cancer that develops in the nodes, typically causing swelling in the neck, axilla (underarms), and groin. Stage 3 lymphoma is defined by the presence of cancer in regions on both sides of the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. This means you can find cancer both above and below the diaphragm. His spleen and liver would also be at risk of enlargement, as these are part of the lymphatic system. Symptoms of lymphoma include lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes), fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue. Despite lymph nodes being a primary part of the immune system, Malignant Lymphoma is not considered an autoimmune disorder.

The first image is a conversation between Monomi and Hinata after she untied and let Komaeda out of the old hotel. Mind you, this was after Koizumi's death.

Monomi: "Yes, it was me." Hinata: "You... why'd you untie Nagito without anyone's permission?" Monomi: "D-Did I do bad?" "I just wanted everyone to get along... and, you know... cooperate..."

Hinata has every right to be frustrated by Monomi's choice. Hinata last spoke to Komaeda after bringing him food in the old hotel, and that conversation didn't leave the best impression on him, which is something I'll go more in-depth about later in this thread. Hinata had just finished his own investigation into Koizumi's death, which probably caused him a lot of discomfort and grief. He already struggles with skepticism and the thought of being stuck on an island with a potential murderer and classmates he doesn't know personally would leave anyone easily irritable. Hinata and Nanami had also just completed the Twilight Syndrome Murder arcade game, leaving them with more questions than answers for the investigation, which probably frustrated Hinata as it was Komaeda who encouraged him to play it. But this is not evidence of him hating Komaeda; this is him being wary and uncomfortable about the thought of Komaeda running around after what the first Class Trial revealed.

The second conversation is directly after Hanamura's execution during the first Class Trial, and everyone is confronting Komaeda's behavior.

Komaeda: "Well, I don't mind what you think of me..." "In actuality, thanks to Byakuya, I'm starting to feel a small desire to live." "Mostly, I just want to watch everyone destroy all the despair that comes for you, one after the other...!" "Ahaha, just kidding!" Owari: "Hey, can I punch ya? I just won't be satisfied till I punch ya!" Hinata: "Fine..." "Let's stop this already... It's just going to be a waste of time if we keep dealing with him...!"

Hinata never stated he hated Komaeda; this is an assumption Komaeda made. Something he comments on right after: "That stings... I felt you and I were quite similar."

We need to keep in mind that Hinata spent the entire prologue with Komaeda by his side, who was openly friendly to him and provided information and guidance as Hinata was the last to explore the island. Despite being strangers, this casual interaction probably left a sense of camaraderie in a strange and frightening situation. Furthermore, Komaeda spent the investigation with Hinata, furthering this feeling of association through helping each other. Hinata is allowed to be hurt and frustrated by Komaeda's dangerous behavior. But equally, Komaeda is allowed to be hurt by the sudden shift in Hinata's behavior and giving him the cold shoulder because he is facing the consequences of actions he doesn't understand are indecorous.

Komaeda's voice never sounds like moaning. Not in the English dub nor the original Japanese recording. His conversation is clear, easy to understand, and perhaps a bit airy, but not moaning. Komaeda's voice is purposely portrayed as raspy and breathless due to his underlying health issues. It's supposed to sound like he is struggling to catch his breath or has respiratory issues. Even out of context, with only audio, it can't be mistaken for moaning—it's merely conversation. The music elevates the tension, and Komaeda sounds almost playful and, at times, could be mistaken for menacing in the way he speaks. The only time he seems to make a noise similar to moaning is towards the end when he is asking Hinata to come back to help him eat, as he is unable to while tied up. He had previously stated that he was too embarrassed to ask a girl and was hoping Hinata would lend him a hand. Komaeda hadn't eaten for a day, which would have elevated his desperation.

A common symptom of Lymphoma is the loss of appetite, due to its nutritional deficiencies, and it can contribute to weight loss. This is caused by factors like feeling full, gastrointestinal issues, or even lymphoma growing in the abdomen and pressing on the stomach or spleen. It's possible he could be suffering from low appetite, as he only requested toast and milk from Koizumi. (Apparently, he isn't fond of rice. Rice is a very filling main and side dish, so this could contribute to his low appetite.) This means he could be even hungrier than initially considered.

Since I'm already discussing this, Komaeda is within a healthy weight range for teenagers who are 180 cm (5'9"). His lanky build, broad shoulders, and protruding collarbone could result from bone structure and muscle composition. He could simply have low body fat instead of being underweight, but I fully understand any fan who considers him underweight, as it does make sense for his build and health. Furthermore, and I can't believe I'm talking about this, men can moan, and while moaning can be arousing, its intended purpose isn't for seduction. Moaning is an involuntary vocalization, which are sounds we produce without conscious control, such as laughter or shouting in surprise. Involuntary vocalizations are all physiological responses, such as how nervous laughter can be a coping mechanism for embarrassment or anxiety. This is caused by external stimuli, like experiencing pain, so you cry out.

Moaning as a term falls under several categories of vocal expressions, with the one being referred to here derived from physical pleasure, like intercourse. Moaning is a non-verbal communication of enjoyment.

Komaeda isn't doing that. None of his dialogue in this scene is intentionally suggestive. The only subjects brought up were: the Twilight Syndrome Murder arcade game, questioning why Hinata had arrived instead of Koizumi, if anyone has played the game yet, how they shouldn't turn away in the face of a challenge, and Hinata helping him eat.

Also, prostitute is an outdated term, we refer to them as sex workers now.

I've already spoken about Hinata walking away from situations to organize his thoughts, but we have to consider the context of this scene. This is the first time Hinata is seeing Komaeda after the first Class Trial. After Komaeda had broken his trust, Hinata now perceives Komaeda as unpredictable and untrustworthy. This is Hinata facing someone who he was closest to during that murder attempt and who could have been his target if Togami hadn't thwarted Komaeda.

Because Komaeda was fully committed to killing someone, no matter his reasoning, that was still detrimental to his relationship with Hinata. Hinata has every right to be put off by Komaeda's casual greeting and undisturbed reaction to his own captivity. He is not in the wrong for walking away from someone he believes is manipulating him, even if in reality it is a misunderstanding, as Komaeda was simply attempting to encourage him and, by proxy, his other classmates to be proactive and prevail even when things seem dim.

Do you believe this because Komaeda has exhibited symptoms of being physically attracted to Hinata and thus wants to experiment intimately with him, despite him starving and being tied up by classmates who ostracized him for behaviors he can't control?

Or do you believe this because you want to villainize a Queer-coded character who is shipped with the protagonist, whom you deem heterosexual, and thus recontextualize any situation Komaeda is in as sexual to corroborate that he is a predator?

I'm not saying that Komaeda couldn't display intimate behaviors during inappropriate times, as bvFTD does cause him to struggle with social cues. We do see him unintentionally being flirtatious towards Hinata as an attempt at humor and lightening the mood. But the intentions of the thread are starting to worry me.

Why would it be unacceptable for Komaeda to potentially seek intimate relations with Hinata? He is a teenager who has found familiarity with another student his age, who might be the same sex he is attracted to and with whom he has already become friendly. Most teenagers explore romantic relationships with their classmates, especially if said classmate already piques their interest. Maybe Hinata is attractive. Maybe Komaeda likes his personality, or maybe he feels comfortable enough to explore those subjects with him. Furthermore, it's not uncommon for gay men to be into straight men, like actors or celebrities. Komaeda hitting on Hinata or attempting to hook up with him isn't malicious, nor does it make his behavior unacceptable.

Guy friends do make romantic jokes with each other, and considering Komaeda often uses humor, he could potentially just be having fun with a person he feels a common association with. As he does say, he loves his classmates and refers to them as friends.

(By the end of this thread, I will have done enough research to become a successful romance fanfiction writer. :])

Komaeda wasn't lying about his diagnosis; he was lying about not having it to keep Hinata at arm's length. While Komaeda may speak of the misfortunes in his life in an almost excitable way, there is an underlying level of anxiety to his actions. He is afraid his bad luck will affect those close to him.

In Danganronpa 2: Ultimate Luck And Hope And Despair, Volume 10, he walks by countless bodies, people who were indirectly harmed due to his luck cycle. His luck is the direct cause of his isolation, both in terms of lacking parental figures in his life and his socialization. His social impairments are further exacerbated by his bvFTD. Komaeda felt connected and comfortable enough to share his diagnosis with Hinata but, in the end, when he began to suspect Hinata was growing pity for him, he placed a barrier between them again.

Island Mode: Nagito's Ending "...Hajime, I thought I would die on this island." "I thought I would finally be released from the cycle of good and bad luck, but I was clinging to false hope..." "I was always looking for hope somewhere within my sight, or within my reach." "But now...it's different." "The time I've spent with you on this island has taught me that hope was inside me from the very beginning."

Komaeda fears being misunderstood, rejected, and isolated by the people around him. He has a duality of self-loathing where he objectifies himself by advertising himself as a physical tool for hope, yet he desires others' acceptance and love. His actions are never out of intentional deception or manipulation; as I said at the start, he simply sabotages as a means to create opportunities for his ideology to flourish.

He wasn't telling Hinata about his diagnosis to deceive him; he was telling him because he felt connected to him. Furthermore, Komaeda is aware that he has a lying problem, which is why he ends up with the liars' disease during Chapter 3. He lies because it keeps that social distance or because he believes it would be a net positive in the end, but he also lies unintentionally.

I think this is the only time I can actually agree with you. He is purposely drawn to be unsettling. Hinata's words read as him being uncomfortable or disturbed, and the swirling eyes indicate despair. It is very probable that Komaeda has always been in despair, which would explain his more eccentric behaviors, as he acts similarly during his time as a Remnant of Despair.

Hinata doesn't know Komaeda, which is why he is constantly trying to understand him. If you played through Komaeda's FTEs, Hinata questions himself multiple times about why he bothers attempting to converse with Komaeda. Yet he does anyway, and while he walks away just as confused, he does feel he made some progress.

Free Time Event 5: "In the end, everything Nagito said..." "...I don't know what was true and what was lies." "But even so, there might've been a definitive truth hidden somewhere in his words..." "If there wasn't...there's no way I could feel this mysterious bond between Nagito and me." "If...he does obtain the hope he wants, what is he going to do...?" "Strangely enough...I feel like I want to see that..."

Sounds like more conformation for my theory that he has always been in despair to me.

Komaeda likes to tease and joke around with Hinata. He is optimistic towards others and attempts to lighten the mood through humor and misplaced jokes. His repetition of certain phrases could be an attempt to carry a bit between them. A bit is a term that originates from stand-up comedy and refers to an inside joke between mutuals that gets carried throughout a performance.

Komaeda enjoys poking fun at Hinata, making slight jabs at his appearance and intelligence in a non-harmful way. This is likely due to Hinata's more defensive and cynical nature. Hinata can be occasionally dramatic, and Komaeda is attempting to be friendly with him to lift his spirits but unintentionally ends up provoking him instead.

Komaeda can come off as threatening. He is one of the taller students and behaves in ways that could be uncomfortable to others. However, this doesn't mean he is trying to be dominant in any given situation. He is misunderstanding social cues, non-verbal cues, and spatial awareness.

These aren't pajamas; they are jinbei (or jinbe). Jinbei is a two-piece men's wear made of thin fabric worn during summer, as Japanese summers tend to be very hot. They are stitched and designed specifically for managing the heat. Dark blue, grey, and black are considered baseline colors for them. This photo isn't meant to show the dichotomy between them—it's just artwork of them. Hinata and Komaeda are often paired together for promotional displays. They are the most thematically tied-together characters in the franchise after all.

Hinata and Komaeda have a lot of parallels in terms of narrative and character growth. Both were fostered in a social hierarchy that treated Ultimates as dignitaries who were set for life after graduation and excelling in their work fields, while the talentless were considered disposable and merely arbitrary within social camaraderie. Both were self-isolating, self-conscious teenagers who viewed their worth through high expectations and conformity. Komaeda's obsession with the Ultimates was most likely exacerbated by Hope's Peak Academy, which pioneered a social hierarchy contributing to oppression and dissonance between people. Both Hinata and Komaeda had to learn that talent does not make a person, and they learned that through each other.

Hinata and Komaeda's expressions don't matter in this context. If we did want to analyze this, Komaeda's more subdued expression contrasted with Hinata's more energetic expression could simply be because they are relaxed in this moment. Hinata would not be grossed out if Komaeda's hands were to touch or accidentally brush against his. It would be a brief, maybe awkward moment of exchange. He might ponder it briefly, but he would maintain a composed outward demeanor.

Let me get this straight: Hinata asked Komaeda to remove his clothing, yet you believe Komaeda is being inappropriate for accepting the offer? Shouldn't we be questioning why Hinata is asking for such a personal thing to begin with? He isn't even diverted after Komaeda's acceptance; his ending question sounds more curious and even prompting. Komaeda's response isn't self-absorbed in any way; he is just being open and casual about it. Honestly, he probably doesn't care if Hinata sees him nude—they're both guys, and he feels comfortable around him. Furthermore, Hinata didn't even initiate the question under the guise of it being for swimming; Komaeda is the one who assumed it was for swimming. Also, being nude isn't inherently sexual, and Japan has nude public hot baths known as onsens.

Izuru isn't controlling Hinata's mind. The Kamukura Project was an unethical human experimentation aimed at achieving the Ultimate Hope through implanting artificial talents. These talents were studied from students attending Hope's Peak Academy. This same academy developed the Reserve Course Department, a tuition school for the talentless to attend, both as funding for the project and to have the students be lab rats. It was an invasive set of neurosurgeries aimed at manipulating and enhancing cognitive functions through the repression of existing memories, emotions, and personality traits in order to mold the Ultimate Hope.

Kamukura is Hinata; he was renamed by the researchers, and the name originated from the founder of Hope's Peak Academy. Komaeda didn't know Hinata prior to the Kamukura Project, and even then, he was unaware of who Kamukura was outside of potentially knowing he was part of human experimentation. Kamukura reacts in self-defense within the context of this scene. He is removing Komaeda's weapon because Komaeda aimed the gun at his face. Grabbing his waist wasn't unintentional; he is the Ultimate Analyst who works within the confines of logistics to pursue conclusions and reactions. He probably grabbed his waist to prevent him from stepping away while removing his gun.

Oh thank god, I thought we were going in reverse, and I was never going to escape this thread.

Hey, remember when I said I would get back to the whole crush thing?

Komaeda does display behaviors associated with having a crush. A crush is defined as a neurological response where neurochemicals coincide to develop physical responses. These neurochemicals travel through neurotransmitters and typically include dopamine, norepinephrine, oxytocin, and serotonin. Neurotransmitters transport chemicals between neurons, muscles, and glands, processing all bodily information like movements and sensations.

Dopamine is a hormone responsible for gratification, through satisfaction and motivation.

Norepinephrine acts as both a hormone and a neurotransmitter and is responsible for the body's ability to recognize stress and concentration.

Oxytocin is a primary hormone for the reproductive system.

Serotonin is both a hormone and neurotransmitter responsible for happiness.

A crush is developed based on a variety of triggers, ranging from physical attractiveness, close proximity, and reciprocity. Reciprocity is the act of mutual understanding through reciprocating attractions or exchange of support. There are a multitude of physical, behavioral, and emotional responses. Komaeda growing flushed and heavily breathing are common physical reactions to having a crush. Whether it was Kamukura's affiliation with hope, their close proximity, or Kamukura's appearance, Komaeda in this moment potentially could have gotten flustered by him. As we later see, he reaches out for him.

This equally could be a misunderstanding, with Komaeda reacting indecorously to suddenly being shot due to his desensitization to violence. His childhood was swarmed in violence, from being on the plane with his parents during their gruesome death and the plane crashing, to being kidnapped by a serial killer who potentially harmed him before stuffing him into a trash bag, and the aforementioned people who were indirectly harmed by his luck. Also, he fell over because the shot launched him back.

(I reached the photo limit. This is the last one guys.) Thank you for reading.

yeah that’s true that’s why I said I might be reading too much into it. But saying that I’m using his fashion to judge his mental health is a bit of a misleading interpretation of my post, I think. Especially bc I also mentioned his recent live stream which genuinely creeped me out. Even others here were worried about whether he is okay or not.

Other than his personality and talent, one of the main reasons why I stan Timmy is his uniqueness. He didn’t feel to me like any other Hollywood male celebrity. He was always pushing boundaries with his looks bc fashion isn’t just a look it’s also a statement. Timmy was making statements about gender and masculinity with his looks (probably more things that went over my head lol) so that’s what I meant when I said I don’t see that effort and passion anymore.

Idk maybe it’s bc of the movies’ audiences but I don’t think that’s fully true bc as you said Dune 1 and 2 might have mostly male audience but he looked iconic during Dune 1 (less so for Dune 2 but still sooo much better than what we see now). Ngl I totally forgot about Wonka oops lol but yeah he definitely looked great during that promo. But his Bob-like looks that you mentioned is not an effort in my opinion bc I personally found it very cringe (sorry Timmy, I love you) bc it felt as if the acting got to his head :/ (like how some people thought Austin was doing too much after playing Elvis)

And I guess facial hair makes sense bc of Marty but it’s not a problem. I meant I see a change in a general sense. He became more subdued and looks more like typical male celebrities now than he was before. And obviously he can grow facial hair anytime he wants and whether he looks good or not is a personal preference.

At the end of the day, I hope you’re right that it’s just a promo and he can go back to being iconic again ❤️

Edit: I looked up and Wonka was released before Dune 2 soooo that explains why I forgot about it. Also I was talking about from Dune 2 onwards so bringing Wonka into conversation is kinda irrelevant.

is it just me or Timmy has changed after this Bob Dylan movie? He feels different to me idk how to explain. I’m not good with words so just bear with me lol.

Firstly, his appearance. He used to serve looks at award shows. He was always experimenting with his fashion style but now I don’t feel that effort anymore it’s like he doesn’t care about looking good. I noticed this during Dune 2 premiere as well. He was more subdued but I thought maybe bc he doesn’t wanna outshine the other new actors in the movie. I also hate his facial hair bc it just doesn’t suit him. Where is my beautiful androgynous boy who used to push boundaries with his fashion? Obviously, he can do whatever he wants but I feel like sth has changed.

Secondly, his live stream recently genuinely creeped me out. I’m really worried about his mental health. What did this movie do to him? I hope he is seeing a therapist or getting help in general.

Ngl I was not happy when this movie was announced and I still couldn’t care less but ofc I’m still gonna go see it in cinema to support Timmy. But I wish he never accepted it bc I feel like it changed him and not in a good way… Idk maybe I’m just reading too much into it and it’s just him maturing idk anymore..

P.S. don’t even get me started on kylie jenner thing bc it makes me mad.

hii, I’m not sure if you take request still but if so is there a possible way you can do a drew x singer!reader one shot take on how Sabrina “arrests” her fans before performing Juno for being too hot but the reader does it to Drew during her shows please 🫶🏼

arrested for being too hot — DREW STARKEY

authors note THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING THIS!! my request box is still open so feel free to send me any ideas regarding singer!reader or regular fic ideas you’d like me to write. this was so much writing too. thank for all the love on my last fic lovies <3

taglist ⤕ if you would like to be notified every time i post you will type in your username then be all set.

summary "arresting" drew, your boyfriend, during your show before performing your song from your new album.

warning(s) none!

You are on tour for your new album in-front of thousands of fans almost every night. You worked hard on this album and it turned out wonderfully. If it weren’t for the amazing fans of yours, you don’t know where you’d be in your career— they are the reason you are doing this.

Half way into the show— going amazing. The crowd tonight isn't disappointing you. Everything you've hoped for on this tour. You've performed eighteen songs and about to go onto your nineteenth. Played musical spin the bottle not long ago which was really fun.

Before Juno, you begin with a small "skit" where you call someone out in the crowd, arresting them for being too hot. This became a thing after your first show of the tour and doing it ever since. Plus, fans absolutely love it. Interacting with your fans has always been something you did and create those bonds.

Drew, your boyfriend, is attending the show with Madelyn Cline, a mutual friend and cast-mate of Drew's. You told him earlier today you wanted to arrest him in the middle of the show to get the audience excited and it would be fun.

Drew was all for it, and he didn't want you to tell him what you were going to say—he prefers surprises.

Your pink, glittering, dazzling clothing was sparkling in the lights. You pressed your free hand to your brow as though you were looking around for a call. With security, you could see Drew and Madelyn making their way to the front.

You begin by adjusting your earpiece while moving around the stage in your long skirt. "You guys know that moment when you are in a room filled with such beautiful looking people that you start to feel overwhelmed?" When fans applaud, you smile.

"Oh, girls, I think I just seen my future husband in the front row! Oh my god, girls, come here, come here," you say anxiously into the microphone, beckoning them over and waving your free hand.

You turn to face Drew as the girls approach you, asking, "Do you see that gorgeous looking man over in the front row with his arms crossed in the tan shirt?" You speak into the microphone aloud, pointing to Drew in the crowd.

Your girls joyfully waved at Drew while placing their hands on your shoulder. As Drew blushes on the big screen, the crowd reflexively turns up the volume in the arena. 

"What's your name handsome?" With your head cocked slightly to the right toward your shoulder, you inquire in jest. 

"Drew!" You can hear him when he places his hands on the side of his lips. He gives you a childlike smile and a flushed face.

You say, "I'm sorry I couldn't get that?" as though you couldn't hear him. Leaning forward more, you place your free hand behind your ear.

He shakes his head and utters "Drew!" a little louder. 

"Oh my Drew, I must say that you must be a magnet because you drew me in" brings a smile to your face. Your tone indicated that you were trying quite hard not to laugh, yet you kept your calm brilliantly.

Fans had their phones out, capturing the entire interaction. Nobody would have expected Drew to be the person arrested at your gigs since the tour began.

"Drew, you are under arrest for being too hot," you say aloud, smiling and pointing at him— fanning yourself, moving your hips side to side as the sound of sirens going off with blue and red lights behind.

You put your left elbow against your girls shoulder, "guys do you ever just see someone so good looking that you just don't know what to do and all your clothes fall off in that moment" your long skirt slips off smoothy.

"Like your brain just like malfunctions and like I just wanna handcuffed to you now like," one of your girls puts the pink fluffy handcuffs into your hand, you kneel down, "do you know what I mean? Will you take these from me?"

Drew is overwhelmed in this very moment— it's very obvious how much you are affecting him. Drew gives you a gimme me gesture with his fingers, ready to catch the hand cuffs.

He takes them in his hands, looks down, and feels the smooth texture of the fuzzy. He tilts his head to the side before slowly glancing up at you with a smirk—keep in mind that he's still on the big screen.

"We're gonna sing this one to you, Drew."

Juno's song intro starts playing. You wave goodbye to Drew and Madelyn as you return to the center of the stage. You could hear the two begin speaking to fans in the distance.

Drew and Madelyn met you in the dressing room following the show. After giving Madelyn a hug and thanking her for attending the event, you moved to approach Drew and put your arms around his neck while grinning.

"That was insane," Madelyn exclaimed, pulling you into a hug. "What about the full call-out and the handcuffs? Iconic! "You're the talk of the night; everyone is crazy about it."

You giggled as your face heated up. "It seemed right." "You should have seen his face!"

She laughs, "I got the whole thing on video, I'll send it to you later."

"I'm going to give you two some alone time, but you did such an amazing job tonight and looked so hot doing it," Madelyn adds, taking your hands in her and wiggling her brows. 

"Thank you, babe. I love you always," you say, hugging her before she leaves you and Drew alone. 

When you close the door, Drew comes behind you, placing his arms around your waist and kissing you on the cheek, making you laugh with the tenderness of his lips.

"I'm so proud of you baby, you did such an amazing job on stage and looked unbelievable in your outfits made me feel like the luckiest guy in the entire world." He expresses emotionally, which uplifts you. 

"Coming from you, it warms my heart baby. Forever grateful to have you in my life," you smile softly, leaning against his chest, feeling that sense of warmth you always feel whenever you are with him.

"And I'm forever grateful for you" he quietly responds, kissing the top of your head.

"So what are we gonna do with those pink fuzzy handcuffs?"

I really agree with this take, more than any of the others I’ve been seeing, and it makes me think of this one quote that I’ve seen circulate the internet for ages, which the sources I can find tell me is from Elana Dykewomon:

“Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control’— of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind.”

I know I certainly personally relate to that on a very deep level, and I think that one could argue that this poem is the thesis argument of this interpretation

Spoilers: Eggers' Nosferatu

There's a lot of debate right now on if Count Orlok represents Ellen's shame/trauma/abuse, or if he represents her repressed erotic desires, and in turn there's debate on whether or not viewers who find the Ellen/Orlok dynamic alluring are "missing the point." Eggers and Lily-Rose Depp have both said in interviews that there's a mutual pull between Ellen and Orlok, and even that there's a love triangle element, but obviously the experience is terrifying for Ellen. How can we reconcile the sexual tension and the horror?

I think the broader theme is that Orlok represents everything in a woman's inner world that men refuse to acknowledge and accept - fear and shame and trauma, yes, but also our appetites . After the prologue, the story starts with Ellen begging Thomas to stay in bed with her; she says "the honeymoon was yet too short" and tries to pull him in and kiss him (obviously trying to start some nuptial bliss). But Thomas is anxious to meet with his boss and get his promotion, because he has a narrative he's going to fulfill: he's going to pay Friedrich back, buy a house, and then start having kids (he and Friedrich touch on this a bit later. Notably, Friedrich discloses Anna's pregnancy to Thomas before Anna has made it public.)

It's the start of Ellen and Thomas' married life and she just wants him to prioritize her sexual desire, but he chooses to focus on his ideal of success, which sets him on this path to confronting Orlok. We know Ellen doesn't care about having a house or fine things and she begs him not to go, but Thomas listens to Herr Knock and Friedrich, who tell him that as a husband he has to provide materially. He ignores Ellen's stated desires, and so fails to provide sexually and emotionally. When Thomas gaslights her about her nightmares and calls them childish fancies, he shuts down her vulnerability, which kills the intimacy she was enjoying in the literal honeymoon phase.

On a related note, there's a defence in here for Aaron Taylor Johnson's performance, which I've seen a few male critics call "over acting." In this story Friedrich represents the masculine ideal of the time, he's a rich business owner with a beautiful wife and kids. Thomas clearly looks up to him and wants to emulate him - he wants to give Ellen the life "she deserves." But Friedrich's elevated masculine status is why he refuses to listen to Ellen's "hysterical, sentimental" worries, he's too rational for all that of course. And his stubborn "rationality" leads to the death of his entire family. Friedrich IS the patriarchal ideal that crumbles when confronted with nuance and uncertainty. Some people see Friedrich and assume that a character like him is meant to come across as dignified, and that Aaron Taylor Johnson is messing up by making him look annoying, but really he is giving a great portrayal of a really common, annoying kind of guy. The kind of guy who melts down and has childish tantrums whenever they lose control of a situation, or their manly skills and values are shown to be irrelevant.

The men in the movie (excluding Professor von Franz) frame Ellen as childish for speaking about her dreams candidly, but their own childishness is revealed when her dreams manifest in the form of Orlok and become unavoidable. Ellen (partially? possessed in the moment by Orlok) tells Thomas how "foolish and like a child" he was in Orlok's castle. In the literal context that's cruel, and obviously that shit was scary as hell, but it hits on Thomas' failure in the metaphorical reading. He was a child playing house: 'I'll be the husband and make money, you be the wife and make babies.' When it came time to confront his wife's inner world and all the scary, traumatized, lustful complexity of it, he was completely inept. The message isn't that Orlok is what Ellen really needs, or that Thomas is a wimp, but he's not a perfect husband either. I think "the point" is that a real healthy marriage with sexual, emotional, and spiritual mutuality is impossible in that society with Thomas/Friedrich's ideals. In that kind of society, a spiritually and sexually potent woman like Ellen ("in heathen times you might have been a Priestess of Isis") will always be caught in a "love triangle" with her husband and her own inner world.

hi i was wondering if you would do headcannons of the yan!fanboy if reader actually noticed him coming to all their shows and events

OBSESSED (SUPERFAN! YANDERE BOY X POPSTAR! READER)

WARNINGS: stalking, average yandere tendencies, nsfw, perverted yandere, gender neutral reader, mentions of naked reader but no genitalia addressed, dom reader, reader is compliant with the yandere and teases him a ton, lowercase intended. btw i do not condone yanderes irl.

A/N: i hope y'all know i read every single one of your asks, comments, and reblogs. i appreciate them all and they do brighten my day. i'm just saying this so y'all know that the stuff you send to other writers (not just me) matters a lot!! when you interact it gives them inspiration!!! and motivation!! me personally sometimes i see ONE kind reblog and i immediately get my ass up and start writing something just because of that one person. don't get me wrong, i still love all my lurkers that silently like a ton of my stuff, y'all are important too. anyways i'll shut up now onto the hcs. (btw this ended up being a fic instead of hcs i apologize. i went crazy over this i'm sorry anon LMAO)

"hey, you look pretty familiar. have you been to a few shows before?" you asked kindly, facing the short man in the front row of the audience.

bayani froze as the stadium's screens pointed to him. he opened his mouth in an attempt to say something, but nothing came out. his face went red and his throat went dry. did you actually notice him, or was he just dreaming?

after a few seconds of waiting for an answer, you shrugged. "sorry, maybe i mistook you for someone else. anyways..."

the yandere boy still didn't move, with his mouth agape, as you continued on with your show. the people around bayani didn't seem to care, assuming that he was just a starstruck fan. but it was more than that. much more than that.

out of the millions of fans that attend your shows and events, you recognized him among them. you noticed him. and he didn't know how to handle it. what was he supposed to say? what would you even talk about? sure, he's seen all of your interviews and heard your music and dissected your lyrics for hours every single day, but would you ever want to interact with him as much as he wanted to interact with you? he was just a lowlife. he had an average job, average amount of money, he lived in a shitty apartment, and he had no friends or major accomplishments. all of his free time outside of work was spent on you. spent on following your every move and investigating everything you've put your hands on. if you ever spoke to him, you'd probably think he was some sort of pathetic stalker.

that thought drove him mad. he couldn't even focus on the rest of your concert. he didn't hear the blaring music and screams from the crowd. he wasn't paying attention to your performance, either.

he could only stand there and imagine the punishments you'd inflict on him if you found out about his obsession. would you call your security to take him away? he'd hope not. if he's going to be kicked and pushed around, perhaps even handcuffed, he'd rather you do the job rather than some random guard. but maybe he'd accept the punishment, only because you were the one who deemed it necessary. he takes your word like gospel, so he'll take whatever punishment you want, even though he would prefer your hands on him while you do it.

his imagination ran wild as your concert finished and you walked off the stage with your dancers. the crowd of fans in the stadium dispersed around him, moving along with their day. but bayani couldn't just move on with his day knowing that you know he exists now. how is he supposed to simply move on from that? he spent a long time making sure you never noticed him. even though he attended every single one of your concerts and events, he did not want to be noticed. he knew he wouldn't be able to handle it. but it finally happened. he finally got a taste of what it's like to be seen by the love of his life. he couldn't just leave it at that. he had to do something about it.

being under your gaze, even if it was only a few seconds, made him feel like he went to heaven. it made all of the hundreds of dollars he spent on you worth it. all of the hours he spent listening to your music and watching videos of you was worth it. it was like he awoke from a slumber. a long, miserable slumber. he had to find a way to thank you. say something to you. he messed up when he simply froze after you saw him. who knows when he'll get another chance like that?

it took a few hours for the stadium to be empty, and the security started to shoo bayani away. but when he went outside, the parking lot was still full. your concert ended hours ago, but there was still loads of cars trying to leave. it would be frustrating, but bayani had to find a way out quickly.

he climbed on the back of a nearby truck and rested his legs there, waiting patiently for the vehicle to move out of the traffic. even though he knew the truck wouldn't go anywhere near your mansion, he knew how to get to your house on foot. he only needed to rest on the truck until the traffic was gone.

after a few hours on the road, he jumped out of the vehicle, and started to walk to your mansion on foot. he didn't need to look up the location online, because he already knew where it was. he visited your home many times in the past, he just never attempted to go inside before.

his veins were on fire and he started to sweat the closer he got. he was starting to have second thoughts about his idea. but there was no time to go back, because he already showed up to your house before he could change his plans.

to get inside, he had to climb up a tree, jump off of it, and land in your backyard. he used that trick often in the past, since it was not his first time going to your house. he often snuck on your property to watch or take pictures of you while you slept.

he tried opening your bedroom window, but it was locked. he had to try a different one.

he went over to a window beside your bedroom, and thankfully, it was unlocked. but the moment he opened the window, he heard the sound of water running and your familiar voice humming a song. were you in the shower?

bayani climbed inside as quietly as possible, and closed the window behind him. his suspicions were correct. he was in your bathroom, and you were taking a shower. your curtains covered up your figure, so he couldn't see you.

bayani looked to the side of the room and saw a pile of your dirty clothes on the floor. he ran up to it and immediately took a large whiff at the pile. it smelled divine to him. he couldn't get enough of it. he quickly spotted your used underwear in the pile and snatched it without thinking, then he stuffed it in his pocket. you wouldn't notice, right?

before he could take the rest of your clothes, the water suddenly stopped. bayani ran to hide, in a spot where you couldn't see him but he could see you. you opened the shower curtains and stepped out with a towel in your hands. you were completely naked, and still drenched in water. bayani felt like he died and went to heaven again that day. he couldn't believe what he was seeing. you were completely naked, right in front of his eyes. ignoring the puddle in his pants, he nervously fumbled around his pockets, trying to find his phone. there was no way he could pass up an opportunity like this. without hesitation, he snapped a photo of you.

but he didn't notice that the flash was on.

he froze, and you looked towards him. neither of you said a word, and bayani saw his future flash before his eyes. you would probably scream for security and he would get taken away to prison, never to see your face again. his life would be over.

"you're the guy i've been seeing everywhere, huh?" you whispered.

"...are you going to, uh... send me away?" bayani gulped.

you thought about it for a moment. this guy clearly cared a lot about you, because you saw him literally everywhere you went. no matter what country you visited, he was always there. even if you didn't tell a single soul where you were going, he was somehow always there. you even saw him on your property a few times, so you knew how crazy he was. but you still let him do it. and you never reported him, either. you knew exactly what he wanted. you could always hear him moaning outside your window, knowing he would have one hand down his pants and a camera on the other.

he was cute, so why not have some fun with him?

"come here." you commanded. he followed your order without thinking, immediately falling down to his knees in front of you.

you grabbed his chin, and made him look up at you. he felt hot tears well up in his eyes as you stared him down. he didn't say a word, but you knew exactly what he was thinking.

you pressed your knee against the wet stain on his pants, and he let out a pathetic whimper. he was getting off on it.

he didn't know what to do. his dreams were finally coming true. he got noticed by you, got into your house, saw you naked, and you finally touched him. he was overwhelmed, and started crying. he didn't mean to look so weak in front of you for a first impression, but he couldn't help it. besides, he'd make a fool out of himself any day for you.

"you're so pathetic.. you've been stalking me for so long, and now you break into my house to see me naked. i could call the police and have you arrested..." you whispered, as you started putting more pressure on his crotch, moving your knee up and down on it, and inching your face closer to his.

he sobbed, “please, don't! i promise, it'll never happen again. i'll stop, i'll do whatever you want, i'll-"

you cut him off by connecting your lips to his, setting his heart on fire. you pulled away after a few seconds, leaving him speechless. there's no way you just kissed him. he had to be dreaming.

and then you moved your knee away from his crotch right before he could cum, making him let out a whimper and crumble to the ground.

"thanks for letting me have some fun with you. we can do this again soon.. if you be a good boy and return my underwear." you winked, walking away and leaving bayani a hard, pathetic, leaking mess on your bathroom floor.

Writing Prompt #13

"So?" Red Hood asks, arms crossed. "Was I right?"

"Yes," Phantom says, deepening his voice, "this is one of mine."

"One of your what?" Robin growls. Nightwing's hand on his shoulder is the only thing keeping him from invading Phantom's personal space, which, please, continue to do so Mr. Nightwing, Sir.

Phantom would take a deep calming breath if a) he wasn't trying to appear as otherworldly as possible which means no human breathing and b) if that wouldn't so obviously telegraph how uncomfortable he is in the Batcave surrounded by the entire Batfamily.

Next to him Red Hood shifts in slight discomfort. His ties to the spectral realm mean he's picking up on Danny's unease even if he can't fully translate the feeling. Which is good. Danny needs to maintain what little control he has over this situation.

"There's a gh-spirit in my...realm," Phantom says, letting himself drift gently to the other side of Batman's medical table which just coincidentally puts more distance between him and the the rest of the clan staring him down. Black Bat leans forward and he violently suppresses a flinch. "They're known as Nocturne. They wield power over dreams. Their signature is all over this."

And Danny means that literally. Their ecto-signature couldn't be more apparent if they'd written it in sharpie across Batman's suit. This is what Jason—Red Hood, because Danny couldn't have been dealing with a simple civilian case of ecto-contamination, nooo, he's got to have connections to the superheroes Danny has spent the better part of his afterlife avoiding—managed to pick up on, even being the low level entity that he is.

At which point he'd called Phantom in, even though Danny had spent the better part of two weeks trying to intimidate the guy into never contacting him, Ruler of the Spirit Realm (lightning crash!), again, but here is his calling card just in case (thunder and creaking noises!!), but again, you should never use it unless things are very serious, OoOoOoOo~~~

Damn it. It's been like 10 days.

"So how do we fix it, Your, uh, Ghostliness?" Nightwing says, ducking his head in a sort of half-assed supplication when Phantom turns to him. Nightwing glances at Jason for affirmation who shrugs out of the corner of Danny's eye.

"Phantom is fine," Danny says, waving his hand and letting his upper lip curl in an expression of distaste. "Remember, it's like you're Vlad when Dad offers him a glass of eight dollar wine!" Jazz's voice reminds him. Robin growls lowly, likely meaning he's nailing it. He looks away dismissively ("Honestly, it's like you're Vlad, anytime, ever." Sam notes dryly) and thanks god he doesn't have a heart in this form because it would be beating so loud right now.

Beside him, Jason scratches compulsively at the back of his neck. Huh, his anxiety is manifesting physically as an itch. Good to know.

"You can't fix it," Phantom says. "I can."

"At what cost?" Red Robin asks. "Red Hood mentioned you'd want something in return?"

Frick. His other contingency to keep Jason from ever contacting him again. Phantom had lightly hinted his taste du jour was, uh, souls.

Something Red Hood has apparently let slip, because now Robin shakes off Nightwing's hand, puffs out his chest and declares "I will trade myself for my father's safe awakening, Spirit!"

The other members burst into denials which almost covers up Danny floating sharply back and saying "What? No!!!"

Key word: almost.

Danny coughs as they stare at him.

"That is to say, I have no desire for a child," he puts a bit of snarl into it, showing fang. The mood in the room plummets drastically as Nightwing gently grabs Robin by the arm and pulls him back to his side.

"We see," he says. He steps forward more assertively, placing himself in front of the others, all of which are now eying him warily. "Then, is there a gender you prefer?"

It takes a second to click in Danny's head and then he swings his head wildly away from his audience to hide his reaction, nausea and embarrassment turning his face bright green. "Fika Kristo," he mutters in Esperanto as quietly as he possibly can, pinching the bridge of his nose.

He gives himself a moment to settle and game plan before turning back around. "I have no desire for any of you, and it matters not. In this instance, a deal need not be struck. Nocturne is my subject, and they have done this without my permission." Danny blinks, eyes widening. "Not—not! that I would give them permission to do such a thing. In the first place. Ahem."

"Okay...so you'll do this for free?" Jason asks. "Seems like a bad business practice since you also fixed me up for nothing—"

"What he means to say, Your Majesty, Phantom, is thank you!" Signal says in a rush as Nightwing starts, "Wait, Hood, what do you mean—"

"Enough!" Phantom says loudly (nearby bats take off and Jason's itch migrates to his forearms) "I have little time," read: he has a test tomorrow and he's only one-third of the way through the study guide "And I grow tired of this...dilly-dally." Frick! Is that an old-timey word?

"Of course. Thank you again, Phantom." Nightwing says stiffly, eyes still narrowed in Hood's direction.

"Wait, sorry, Phantom, Majesty, I'm Spoiler by the way," the purple-caped vigilante Danny already knew was Spoiler says. "How do we keep this from happening again? To any of us? Is there a way to defeat this Nocturne?"

"Moreover, why Batman?" Red Robin asks. "Why would a spirit from another dimension want him asleep?"

Phantom sighs. "Nocturne was trying to send a message. To me. Through you," he says, nodding at Red Hood. "They...how do I put this. They like attention. Being the spirit of uh, dreaming, they don't receive that attention. And you were in my realms for quite some time. And they wanted...attention."

The lackluster explanation sits for a moment before "They were jealous? Of me?" Red Hood asks skeptically.

"It's more complicated than that. Your...physiology," Danny puts it as delicately as possible, watching regretfully when Red Hood still stiffens at the mention, "Is particular. You gather attention in our realm. And having my attention is...special. But not!" He says to the group at large, a touch panicked, "Romantic!"

Jesus, he's never gonna hear the end of this from the others.

"Anyway, I will ensure it does not happen again."

"By paying them attention," Spoiler says under her breath, wiggling her eyebrows at Black Bat, Red Robin shooting them both a glare. Nightwing ignores them in favor of staring at Red Hood and Phantom. Danny is unsure what Red Hood has disclosed about how he knows Danny, but now he feels confident the answer is close to nothing.

Before Nightwing can ask whatever uncomfortable thing he's about to ask, Phantom disappears. Invisibly, he hovers over Batman's sleeping body and silently apologizes for the intrusion before intangibly slipping into Batman's REM realm and finding the man...oh...

Probably thirty minutes later he reappears to the group, who all perk up at the sight of him. Their eyes bounce from him to Batman; who does not move, to the monitor; which shows no change in his brain activity.

"I'm going to need your help," Danny says to Jason, getting to the point.

"Why? What can I do?"

"It's easier if you come with me," Danny says, grabbing his arm.

"Come with—"

Danny wastes no time in turning them both invisible and flying them into Batman's mind.

"What the—" Red Hood twists and turns, taking in the hallways of the manor. From afar, they can hear the tinkling of a piano. "You, I had your word—"

"This isn't where you think it is," Danny says hurriedly. "We're in your—Batman's dream." He walks quickly down the hallway, towards the music. Jason follows.

"What?"

"The way to break a dream spell is to wake the dreamer. You can't do that externally so you do it internally. Usually you wake the dreamer by turning the dream into the nightmare, scaring them awake."

The hallway stretches on longer than realistic, the dream attempting to divert them. But it can't outrun Danny. His power seeps into the halls, ice creeping along the paneling and freezing the way behind them.

"Batman, however, is hard to scare."

"So you want me to do it."

"What? No." Phantom shoots him a confused look. "Why would I—Ahem, The other way is to convince the dreamer they are dreaming. They break the dream themselves."

"Alright..." Jason says slowly, now keeping pace with him. His breath forms a cloud as he speaks. "And you think I'm the person to do it? I'm not the one he listens to you know, that's more Nightwing's schtick, or hell, anyone other than me."

"This isn't just Batman's dream, Jason," he says. Hood's eyes narrow at his real name, but now the truth is necessary. "This is The Dream. The perfect life. Everything he could ever want."

They're approaching an opening on the right side of the corridor. A bright light emanates from it, alongside the noise of stumbling piano keys and laughter, deep and male and unrecognizable. The Dream.

"Thomas Wayne," Jason breathes. "You want me to convince Bruce it's worth walking away from the center of his universe? It'd be easier if I put a bullet in their chests."

Danny stops abruptly before the doorway, turning to face Jason.

"You know, I fixed you," he says, head cocked. "Those feelings you felt, you shouldn't be feeling them anymore."

"I...I don't."

"Then why do you act like it?" He lets himself drift up, reaching beyond their planes of existence and extending a metaphysical hand to Jason's spirit. It shivers away. "You don't have to hide behind what was."

"I'm not hiding! And I don't have to explain myself to you!" He tries to move forward but Danny puts a hand out and he cannot move past it. He growls in frustration.

"I'm grateful to you, but with or without the Pits I'm fucked up. This is just who I am. This is just what he made me."

"You've never asked why I look like this. But did you know my form is malleable?" Phantom says, letting his legs shift into a tail, letting two eyes become three. "What I believe is what I am."

And then he takes several steps back, putting the doorway between them. "From here on out, the Pits can't tell you how to think or feel. Your decisions are wholly your own. Starting with this one."

Jason stares at the doorway, then Danny.

"I won't make you," Danny says simply. "And if you desire, I will retrieve Nightwing instead."

Jason scratches at his arms, grits his teeth, and stomps through. The light resolves into the sitting room, massive windows letting in sunlight so bright it streaks yellow-white across the room. Bruce sits on the maroon versailles couch next to Cassandra, who sits cross legged, excitedly watching Alfred pour her a cup of tea. To their right, in the open space, Damian barks instructions at Tim on handling a katana. Stephanie and Duke sit on the ground besides the coffee table, homework sheets sprawled across the surface, suffering their way through a calculus problem.

Bruce, smiling softly, looks across the room to where the atrocious playing is coming from. Red Hood follows his gaze.

Sitting at the piano, trying to play while Dick distracts him with a pair of chopsticks, is Jason. He puts a hand on Dick's face and shoves, both of them hitting the wrong keys.

"Get—away—dumbass!"

"No, see, it's a duet! Jay!"

"That's not why it's named—" and Jason Todd-Wayne tips his white-tipped head back and laughs.

❗️Mild arcane spoilers ❗️

Miiight ruffle some feathers.

Not EVEN going to lie, unnecessary ship wars aside, the fan base has developed such a deep love and understanding for these characters (because let’s be honest, there are some pretty intelligent people giving eye opening analyses) that after the finale, it appears that we have a better understanding of them than the actual writers.

We deserved better as the audience after all the hype over the years, all the waiting, even after some episodes got leaked a while ago, most of us remained respectful and waited to see what this season would bring us. The core characters ABSOLUTELY deserved better as well.

It felt as if I was watching all of the characters’ development be erased in real time, or become sidelined and nearly mute after being propped up to appear as if they were going to have a significant arc.

With the amount of episodes we had, it felt like they were trying to cram a bunch of different storylines into one 9 episode season and that left us with annoying plot holes and rushed sequences.

And I’m just gonna say it.

If a certain relationship needed to be sacrificed if it meant that other characters had the proper development they needed and DESERVED, then I would have preferred that much, MUCH more than that undercooked finale.

Don’t. Even. Get me started on that caitvi scene. In the cell? Right after that conversation she had with her sister? Don’t give me that nonsense about how it’s vi reclaiming her power or something. (An actual weird ass statement from Amanda Overton in a Q&A video about how that was Vi reclaiming and working through her trauma in that cell).

No apology? No groveling for forgiveness? That little argument they had lasted like five seconds and didn’t even address the earlier conflict that happened in the show after cait left vi. And before any of you say “cait apologized with her actions”

I don’t care. Two things can be true at once, she can and should have apologized directly as well as displayed that with her actions.

Moving on to Mel??? We did not nearly have enough time to explore her new abilities as a mage, her armor, and her connection to the black rose. As I said, the storylines this season should have been more refined so we could focus on a central group of characters. They did nothing but hint at her armor from the end of season 1 all the way up until now.

Also maybe I’m hallucinating, but did we ever find out what happened to the firelight’s tree?? That’s one of the main reasons Ekko and Heimerdinger went to the lab isn’t it? HELLO?

Next on my list, Jinx. This girl has suffered to no end.

- Lost her whole family except for Vi.

- Almost died once and was brought back to life.

- Tried to end her life several more times

And you slap us all in the face by writing her off?

“Oh but she may not be GONE gone, look at the glitching at the end!"

I. Don’t. Care. It’s the principle.

I’m sick and tired of seeing characters that struggle with mental health and keep having one bad event after another happen to them, never receiving a proper ending. What messages are the writers sending with this? That death is basically the answer because there’s no hope for them? Cool. That was not an honorable act of self sacrifice, that was plain insulting.

Instead, if they still really wanted to have a Jinx redemption arc and a chance to rekindle her relationship with Vi, having her tap into engineering for the betterment of Zaun would have been the better route.

We should have gotten an extra extended episode since this is last season for the Piltover/Zaun region, and for Jinx and Vi's story. I really want to blame Riot for being greedy and possibly becoming too cocky with the popularity of Arcane that they think anything would suffice because It's Arcane.

i don't typically write like detailed nsfw but is anybody interested in me doing more about (romantic) masochist batfam being absolute animals for pain? since it did kind of blow up a bit so why not? it's full of you attempting to choke or bite them, and them, instead of trying to pull you away or scold you, would kinda just moan like pathetic losers and encourage you that you bite deeper and to not stop until they see stars... uhm.

or, a connected thought to the one above: does anybody wish to hear about my thoughts of romantic yandere batfam where it's a/b/o but you're basically an alpha like them (who tries your damn hardest to disguise it, acting soft to others, you don't actively display much 'dominant" traits, and you prefer to live a rather normal life). you meet the batfam one day, who can't pinpoint exactly why they're so attracted to you so they resort to stalking you for investigative purposes, they say—

til they witness the aggressive, more feral side of the you, a hidden, desirable part of you that they wish you asserted towards them when watching your claw rip apart at a perpetrator's chest who tried to assault one of your best friend/crush who's an omega— so they find a way to push your buttons so they'd get a chance to relish in the same rage you're secretly capable of utilizing whilst trying to convince you at the same time to be in a relationship with them despite alpha to alpha relationships being considered taboo, so why don't you get together with them, instead of your weak little friend over there?

any thoughts? does it have to be exclusively batfam or do you guys want me to add the superfam into the mix? want me to expand more upon this? because i don't really know half of what my audience wants me to write ngl so it entirely depends whoever reads this.

Why I think Miko Nakadai is arguably the best human character in TFP

Don't misunderstand, I know Miko was handled haphazardly throughout the series' run. That said, aside from her skipping off into the battlefield, she was actually a great character - and, in my personal opinion, the actual audience surrogate character in TFP.

Now, let me explain.

Although Miko's backstory is told and not shown - a rich daughter who had everything she could ever want, up to and including two pure-breed cats and piano lessons from age three onwards (which, coincidentally, tells us she's brainy despite her antics) - much can be inferred from what snippets of her past we get, along with her interactions with the Autobots. For one, she obviously can't stand most adult supervision, which is likely because of a few things. For one, back home in Japan, Miko would have had to be proper and polite, always restrained, and had to do what she was told. While this is normal (to an extent) in the West, in the East this is etiquette that needs to be obeyed, especially if you're as well off as she is; her actions, specifically in Japan, will reflect on her parents, but to a far lesser extent in America. Thus, when presented with the freedoms of the USA, Miko not only jumps at the chance for an exchange program that will give her the mobility she craves, she also chooses the place that has the least amount of glamor. By extension of choosing to settle in Jasper, Miko's also displaying two other traits: she's not afraid of going to a place vastly different from her home, and she isn't disgusted by a small town with very little monetary value to it.

Secondly, Miko's disregard for authority from adults but deference to the 'Bots teases us with an insecurity - namely, an insecurity that no adult ever gives her a chance to make her own decisions.

Just think about it: All the times Miko's blown off the human adults, it's when they've tried to decide her life for her. Miko has, from what we can see, had her whole life dictated, up to and including those piano lessons. She may be a prodigy at almost everything, but her preferred instrument is the guitar - and yet, she wasn't given lessons in that from the time she was a toddler. Therefore, she feels confined and controlled by the authority of her elders. And so, while Miko may be able to sway Bulkhead into getting her out of detention and consistently slip past the watchful eyes of the 'Bots, it's out of a desperate motivation to control her own life. Now, she does hold too much interest in the battles and getting to watch them, but wouldn't you have that same eagerness if Gundams or Jaegers came to life before your eyes? Yes, she knows their lives are in danger, that they couldn't come home, but there's still a fantastical element to all of this about the Autobots. And it remains so because while she loves them all, Bulkhead is the only one who, while giving her life advice and trying to keep her in check/alive, lets her make her own decisions and take control of her life and her actions.

And that's why she keeps going to the field. That's why she only listens to the reprimands with half an ear and why she recovers so fast from Optimus' near death experiences, as well as Raf's close call with death.

And that's why Miko's world shatters when Bulkhead is left in a half-dead coma from his fight with Hardshell. Because the one person in the universe who gave her freedom and care without deciding her life for her was not just seriously injured, but possibly on death's door.

That's why Miko runs around without a care until the S2 episode "Hurt": because she wants autonomy to decide her life, even if it's stupid choices that could get her killed.

And after "Hurt", we see a new Miko. Yes, she remains gung-ho and fierce, but she stops running onto the battlefield. She takes less enjoyment from the War. Because now, with the reality of war fresh in her mind, she knows the risks and the stakes involved, and she will never take that or her friends for granted anymore. This is further proved when Miko 'sneaks' along for "Chain of Command", but with a twist: she asks Wheeljack if she can come along - and if memory serves, this is the first mission Bulkhead's been on with herself present since the events before "Hurt". Clearly, Miko is still worried about losing Bulkhead - only, this time, she values the words of the 'Bots, and now seeks permission to join a mission, though she wisely asks Wheeljack for this blessing.

This is the beautiful part of her arc, crowned by her battle with Starscream and his Seekers (which is also just straight up awesome.) When she's kicked the afts of everyone, and Starscream tries to intimidate her with his usual "I killed Cliffjumper" speech, Miko's response is this calm, slightly rough, retort:

"Big whoop. I snuffed Hardshell."

In this moment, Miko Nakadai is shown to have grown from an excitable child into an unyielding, but mature, adult warrior. She no longer treats the War and the 'Bots like a game, or a release. She treats them as her friends who she will gladly risk her own life for.

And that, in my opinion, makes her the best human protagonist in all of Transformers: Prime, and Transformers media in general.

As for what I said earlier about her being the true audience surrogate, be honest with yourselves: If any of us were given the chance to meet the Autobots, wouldn't you be just as irrepressible as Miko, as eager to help as she was, and tempted to go to the battlefield to see the action/make sure your 'Bot wasn't going to die? That's what I mean when I say she's the audience surrogate - Miko acts like we would, and learns as we would about the War and the 'Bots if we suddenly came across them.

That's my two cents on Miko, and why she's the human character I respect the most in Transformers...probably of all time. If you liked it, I'm glad; Miko deserves better, and I hope I explained why well.

Til next time, folks!

"Autobots, transform!"

dungeon meshi | delicious in dungeon; reactions to reader having a crush on them / having a crush on reader

dungeon meshi various x gender neutral reader

note: hey everyone, please be mindful that this is the very first time writing for these characters, i have watched every available episode but i am still reading the manga (though i do have a general idea about the setting and the characters backstories and personalities) so if any characters are ooc to you my apologies, don't be harsh im new here lol. sorry some of them are shorter than others i kind of ran out of ideas when it came to certain characters :p let me know in the comments or reblogs or more preferably in my ask box if you want me to do any other character.

characters: laois, falin, chilchuck, marcille, senshi, namari, shuro, izutsumi (i'm adding her here because feels weird leaving her out when i've added former members of the party, also this is purely sfw so nothing weird will be aimed towards her.)

trigger warnings: nothing out of the ordinary but just read the manga or watch the anime before reading this.

if you like this and my other fanfics, please be considerate to reblog my work, it not only helps reach a broader audience but it also motivates me to make more content like this!

laois touden

reader's crush: when laois finds out that you have a crush on him, his reaction is.. well, how do we put it this way? is he flattered? yes and no, he doesn't see himself as ugly but also doesn't look at himself as the most handsome guy in the world, but someone straight up having a crush on him is kind of new, he doesn't really care much for relationships at the very moment but has thought about settling down with someone he likes, will it be you?

laois' crush: when it comes to having a crush, he tries to be his normal self around you, but sometimes can't help but be a little nervous especially when the two of you are alone, sooner or later he comes to the conclusion of realizing the he indeed, likes you, but confessing is the hard part, he's never thought much about rejection, it is a normal part of life after all, but when it comes to you? it's an entirely different ball game.

falin touden

reader's crush: falin already has someone chasing after her; shuro, theres a 50/50 chance of her reaction to reader's crush being the same as shuro's, but could there be a different reaction this time?

falin's reaction: surprisingly less shy than her brother, when she comes to this conclusion she'll build up the right time to actually confess, not wanting to rush things, just watch out for shuro i guess.

chilchuck tims

reader's crush: chilchuck learning about reader's crush is a bit sad, though he's no stranger to romance as he not only had a wife but also three whole kids, he's not really good with emotions so he's kind of scared you'll leave him just like his wife did, so, if reader confesses, there's gonna be a high chance that you'll be rejected, just give it some time.

chilchuck's crush: this weird feeling in his chest whenever he see's you will confuse him at first.. there's no way he has a crush on you?? after his wife leaving him he didn't really have any interest in romance, he might as well just focus on his work at the moment, one of these days he'll bring up the courage to confess, just not right now.

marcille donato

reader's crush: she can't really decide on whether she'll return the feelings or not, definitely flattered is what i'll say.

marcille's crush: she's similar to falin, she'll build up a better relationship with you for the right time to confess, she tries to make it seem as if she's not into you but it's quite obvious to the other party members.

senshi of izganda

reader's crush: out of everyone, he'll definitely be the most flattered, someone having a crush on him wasn't something he put much thought into, not to mention romance kind of isn't his thing, nor does he think he have the time for a significant other.

senshi's crush: i don't think this is the very first time he's ever had feelings for someone, but it's definitely a special feeling, he's not nervous of confessing his feelings at all actually, and he's not that sensitive to rejection.

namari

reader's crush: namari wouldn't really know how to react, honestly, she's never given the idea of someone having a crush on her much thought, she won't care much about rejecting the reader, at least she's honest.

namari's crush: her crush will be a bit hard to spot but when it comes to you, there will be a notable soft spot, she treats you like everyone else and isn't afraid to scold you if you do something wrong.

shuro | toshiro nakamoto

reader's crush: in an au where he still has feelings for falin, he immediately rejects you, telling you boldly that his heart is for falin and falin alone, but lets go to an au where he either loses interest in her or doesn't like her at all; definitely flattered, someone liking him (back) isn't unheard of but it is... nice?

shuro's crush: just look at what he does with falin, he will propose to you at some point, of course when time goes by and he starts to fall for you harder and harder, until he just can't contain it anymore.

izutsumi

reader's crush: very, very strange, someone having a crush on her is.. almost unheard of, or she doesn't pay much attention, anywho, she doesn't know... how to react? she knows what to do if she doesn't return the feelings but... someone liking her is just weird lmao.

izutsumi's crush: she won't make it obvious.... or try to at least, she accepts affection from you much more than she does from the others and sticks by your side more.

❝ NSFW ALPHABET ❞

MASTERLIST!

pairing . . . aemond targaryen x reader

◦∘｡ﾟ. warnings . . . MINORS DNI! smut (unprotected sex, slight sub/dom dynamics, voyeurism, mummy kink (but not really), cum play, rough fucking), lewd language, slight mention of aemond’s first visit to the brothel, touch-starved aemond, barely proofread.

◦∘｡ﾟ. summary . . . aemond’s behaviour in the bedroom.

◦∘｡ﾟ. note . . . ignore that the man in the picture has dark hair, it’s hard finding good quality aesthetic pictures😔 requests are open for aemond (he’s a bad man but he’s my man okay… like i respect a good villain i’m sorry) (but also hate him cause why you beefing with lucerys and rhaenys…). anyway, happy reading i hope you all enjoy this!

[ word count: 2,6k ]

A — AFTERCARE . . . what they're like after sex!

Aemond doesn’t really know what aftercare truly entails, he learns how to be better at it with you. He will clean you if a mess is made, can run a bath if necessary, and then lay down with you. It takes time for him to cuddle, but eventually he caves in. He may not say it but he craves that affection and security by knowing you're so close to him. 

B — BODY PART . . . their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner's!

THEIRS . . . His torso. It might be a weird thing to love about himself , but he most loves it because you cling around his waist and place your head against his chest. He is incredibly toned, just a mass of hard muscle but he can see the comfort you find in it. Another thing he loves is seeing the marks you leave on him, he’s prouder of those than any scar he receives while battling.

YOURS . . . He adores your tits. Adores watching the way they move when you’re breathing in those tight dresses you always complain about, he also adores resting his head on them and seeking comfort in the soft flesh. Aemond peppers kisses on them so much you have to resort to wearing high-neck dresses to hide the marks, which in turn means getting even more because your husband cannot control himself. 

C — CUM . . . anything to do with cum, basically!

This man is messy. He does not care where he cums, whether it's your face and chest when you suck him off or deep inside you, he’s a mess. You need to clean yourself thoroughly after being with him because he leaves you covered in it. He knows he could be more controlled with it, but something about you being sticky from his cum makes him feral and thus he cannot be any other way. He likes to takes his hand and spread over your body, placing his cum-covered hand and placing it between your lips and has you suck on them.

D — DIRTY SECRET . . . pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs!

Aemond wants to fuck you with an audience. He craves staking his claim over you for all the realms to see, to have the world see but never know how good you feel. Have you moan his name, make you desperate for him, while the others boil with envy at the connection the two of you have. Though, as much as the imagery makes him hard, he is far too possessive to ever really dare do it. 

E — EXPERIENCE . . . how experienced are they? do they know what they're doing?

He has little to no experience. Aegon dragged him to a brothel once, but he didn't learn much from and rather steered away from that world. Still, Aemond loves to learn and study so he gathered whatever knowledge he could from books and then put them into practice when he married you. He learned all the little things that made you squirm, how to get certain noises from you, and how to take care of you. With time, he became an expert and you were always left more than satisfied from your activities. 

F — FAVOURITE POSITION . . . this goes without saying!

Mating press is his preferred position. He gets everything he wants from it, the intimacy from being able to see you and the dominance of having you pressed against him, willing to take whatever he gives you. The skin-to-skin contact, the intimate eye-contact and deep penetration makes him adore this position. It is raw and primal, all the things Aemond longs for when being intimate. 

G — GOOFY . . . are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.

Aemond prefers it to be a serious moment. He finds that passion is what's most important during the act, with him willing you to submit to him while he takes charge. If something humorous occurs he won't be deterred by it, most likely indulging in what happened and slowly bringing the mood back into a more serious atmosphere. Truthfully, he’s not a person to joke around much and the bedroom will not be the place to start doing so. 

H — HAIR . . . how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.

Probably as well groomed as the times allow him to be. He finds it to be more comfortable, to be finely polished all-around, he’s a bit of a perfectionist and any thing that is not up to measure he detest. Have you seen how beautiful his locks are? That does not end in just the hair on his head. As for the carpet matching the drapes, his hair is that beautiful silver shade of white all over. 

I — INTIMACY . . . how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect.

He wants to be romantic, but he resorts to small shows of affection. He is deeply passionate but it does not come from a romantic place, more so an urge to claim you. In his head he wishes to be more romantic, to show his love for you in the sheets, but since he does not know how to properly do so he refrains from trying. Not that you seem to mind, you also lean into the more primitive ways he fucks you, rough and senselessly. Intimacy is displayed by the way he holds you, the eye contact you make (eyepatch off, he trusts you so he is totally bare), and the deep kisses he gives you.

J — JACK OFF . . . masturbation headcanon!

Only when he is away from you. His touch does not even begin to compare to yours, his hand is not as soft as yours or even as gentle. He much rather prefers to build up his need for you and  just wait to fuck you than the mediocre orgasm he could get with his own hand. 

K — KINK . . . one or more of their kinks!

Mommy kink… look at him and try to argue that. That man needs an affectionate touch, one that slightly resembles a child. It takes him a while to really lean into it, perhaps he does not outwardly call you “mommy” but his actions and the way he almost whines when you run your hands through his hair, he’s definitely thinking about calling you mommy so bad. Another kink he has is voyeurism, as previously mentioned, he fantasises way too much about that scenario. He has taken you in places where you could’ve gotten caught, that rush makes it all the more sweeter for Aemond. Being a dominant is also something he indulges in more, making you be his only and have you all to himself. That eagerness you have to submit to him, the look you give him almost like he’s a God? He could almost melt on the spot.   

L — LOCATION . . . favourite places to do the deed!

Anywhere where he can have you spread, eager for his touch and he can touch every single inch of your skin. He is not picky of the surface in which he fucks you on, Aemond is always ready to be inside you. While he prefers your bed because of its comfortability, he is actually not as picky as one might think. There was one time where he was in the council room, and he sneakily dragged you in and ravaged you on the council’s table. You trying to stifle your rooms, the risk of possibly getting caught and the rush he got from fucking you in a room that was not meant for such an act, it was all too much to bear. He sometimes dreams about that evening, wishing to repeat it.

M — MOTIVATION . . . what turns them on, gets them going!

Everything about you attracts him, but those moments when you act like a brat and give him attitude? Aemond does not know what to do with himself. In his mind all that he can muster up is the need to put you in your place, but not because he’s mad at you, never that; because he loves to be the one to tame you. Your combative attitude is reserved just for him, to the realm you're the picture of grace but to him? Sometimes you cross the line, if you weren’t his wife he’d surely punish you… and he does, but in a most pleasurable way. 

N — NO . . . something they wouldn't do, turn offs!

Anything that involves sharing. You’re only his, no other being deserves to be even looked by you, much less touched. He also wants you to be sound of mind when you’re intimate, if you’re drunk or asleep, he is not pursuing any sexual desires. Though when you’re drunk you’re much bolder, he is only amused by it not aroused. 

O — ORAL . . . preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.

He quite likes being the receiver. There is nothing alike to the sight of you on your knees, pleasuring him as if it was your only duty. Aemond doesn’t mind being the one to go on his knees, with an eager tongue and the prize of your breathy moans. It is much harder for him to submit to you which is why he’d much rather you pleasure him. Even you like being under his mercy, giving him that dominance that he so craves. 

P — PACE . . . are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.

Aemond is usually fast and rough, he fuck you so hard you can feel him for days and leaves your insides aching. He usually worries about his harshness, seeing you limp right after tugs at his heart. Yet, when he’s pounding in you and you scream for more, he forgets about most of those thoughts. He can be slow and sensual if he wishes, taking his time and making you cry for his touch, he sometimes needs that reassurance that you want him just as much as he wants you.

Q — QUICKIE . . . their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.

He thoroughly enjoys a good quickie. It gives him a moment to relieve his stress, to have some semblance of comfort. Whether it’s his study or against one of the library shelves, he aches to have you even for just mere minutes. Aemond likes them so because it is a taste of what he will surely have later, it almost makes him need you and your touch more. It is safe to say he approves of quickies. 

R — RISK . . . are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.

Taking risks is something he loves. He is always eager to try out a new position or christen a new place in the Red Keep. Aemond wants to try all that there is to partake in at least once, some he does again and some he swears to keep hidden, never to be mentioned again. Is he slightly too feral about all things related to sex? Mayhaps, but you enjoy it just as much as he does. 

S — STAMINA . . . how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?

Aemond is a skilled swordsman, his stamina is off the roofs. He trains for hours on end, making himself the perfect warrior, it is not surprising that all that pent up energy is used on you and your bedroom activities. He can easily go for 2 - 5 rounds, lasting for about 8 minutes when he is inside you… though if he is needier, it could take just a few minutes. It is almost impossible to exhaust him, in fact, you’re sure he could be rustling all day between the sheets but as much as you love your husband, there is so much your body can take. 

T — TOYS . . . do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?

He has some, but they are rare. It is not like he doesn’t like the, but he prefers you reaching your peak solely by his hand than another object. Besides, there are not many sexual toys to begin with. Not unless he visits a brothel or has them shipped from Essos.

U — UNFAIR . . . how much they like to tease!

Biggest tease on all of Westeros. He’s making you beg like there is a reward for it, has you squirming and whining for him to touch you more and to stop touching (though that is not what you truly want). He builds up your desire until you cannot form a coherent thought anymore. Aemond takes his time kissing your body, brushing his fingers against your bundle of nerves. He needs you to give yourself wholly to him, tears in your eyes as you beg him to claim you. 

V — VOLUME . . . how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.

Not really loud, he lets out rough grunts and breathy gasps when he ruts inside you or his cock is in your mouth, but that’s as far as it goes. He much prefers listening to the sounds you make, attentive to the way your body expresses all that you feel because of him. Aemond lets out a deep groan when he spills himself inside you, that is the moment he makes the most sound.  

W — WILD CARD . . . a random headcanon for the character!

Aemond once tried to coax you to let him touch you while riding on dragonback. It was a short trip above King’s Landing and he had decided to take you with him to spend more time together, and he took the opportunity to propose a wild idea (he still thinks it wasn’t that wild). But you only looked at him as if he were crazy, shaking your head side-to-side and turning down his proposition. There were many things you were willing to try, but this was too out there. You didn’t feel totally secure in the air to do such an activity, even if it was only touching. Also, poor Vhagar, she doesn’t deserve to be witness to such depravity… She just wanted to fly peacefully for once!

X — X-RAY . . . let's see what's going on under those clothes!

Around 14 cm or 5,5 inches. Though what makes him more impressive is how girthy he is. He hits all the right spots inside you, filling you to the brim. Aemond becomes so greatly skilled that there is no way you can complain about anything. 

Y — YEARNING . . . how high is their sex drive?

He is insatiable. Thinks about all the ways he wants to ravage you at least once a day. If you’re near him? That man is about to risk it all, lose all honours he has just to have a taste of you. Aemond needs to get off you, honestly, he is almost too attracted to you. He needs to have you at least once a day, he doesn't care about anything. You’re on your period? That man simply does not care. You are not feeling well? He knows something that could cheer you up. Nothing could deter him from being intimate with him. 

Z — ZZZ . . . how quickly they fall asleep after sex!

Only falls asleep once he knows you are, he likes to pretend it's for your safety but truly he enjoys watching you be so calm around him. Sleep does not come easy to him, usually plagued by nightmares and thus avoids fully giving himself to the darkness. But being with you helps, your body wrapped by his, hugging you tightly and caressing your hair. He admires your sleeping form and how beautiful you are, that soothes him. The best sleep he has ever gotten has been with you in his arms, no doubt about that.

01

cards: world, 30C, ToW, QoS, KoW, SoC.

this person's hidden thoughts is that they want to see the reaction of their partner's body and theirs too when having juicy time together. not only that, but they also want to see the reaction of their partner on how they're performing and moaning while doing those things. they would likely want to have a huge mirror in front where they can see both of the oral bodies.

if this is a man, they have a huge manhood, while if this is a woman, they will have a small and tight lady bits. when it comes to the chest part, they are big, well circled, and very delicate to look at and to suck up, no matter what gender it is. i see that they may be interested in collecting different types of sex toys to pleasure themselves as well as their partner. i also don't think that your first sexual encounter with them will be their first; perhaps they will be someone who may have experience with this kind of things.

they also desire to carry, embrace, or own the body of their partner all night or day. they want to enjoy every inch of you; they want this togetherness to happen. they are someone who is very picky when it comes to their partner and places; it's like you can't just fuck this person around and everywhere you want to.

02

cards: 40P, 9oS, the devil, judgement, 60W, PoW.

holding, caressing and handcuffs are the ones i am picking up here. they want to touch their partner's body precisely, they want to own and say each part of it's body "this is mine, this, this and this one". they may want you to look elegant or the first night with them might happen in such milk and honey places.

this person wants to find someone who will able to share their sex fantasies, someone who can match their passion when it comes to sex appetite. this person prefer to do this in a way of secret and dark like a very private meeting. there's also a little bit of desire here where everytime they got crush on someone they usually daydreaming making it with that person. i don't think they will tell this to anyone since they likely embarrassed talking that deep secret of them, they probably gonna keep it by themselves alone. other than that, they purely want to experience unwavering and shivering affection of sex. altogether, this pile is giving me an energy of two couple dancing in unison and making a beat along with the waves of music.

cards: hermit, QoC, PoW, 100P, SoS, 90S.

pile 2 and 3, both have two similar cards - this might be means that you maybe a little bit attracted to pile 2, if yes then maybe it have message for you. so as i see here, this person will love this aloneness time together in the near future but right now, they probably prefer doing it alone. if you gonna asked me, they're not really good with it but they trying their best and still on the phase where they still on learning process. they're not yet reading for any sexual things. not yet because they're still trying to figuring it out. if not then this spicy secrets of them is likely to be confidential forever. there's also a fifty-fifty chances that they become obsess with their partner.

but before all of that they do want first an emotional relationship security. when it comes to their favorite parts of human body, they probably like - bum and breast parts and they may want to squeeze, cupping, holding, sucking and massaging it. this is about holding and locking their lover around their arms. i don't know if you would like this part but they fancy phone sex such as vc and chat ones, nude photos, giving head, going down, 69 and anything related to oral sex. they have crave for someone who is foreigner, someone who looks good and someone who is unique from their eyes. if not they likely want to do it in such a far away places most likely overseas. the first time with them or a special getting together might happen in other places, a foreign country as i said and maybe this a honeymoon? or a relaxation for the both of you. cuddling after sexual intercourse is also included to their desire.

Could you write the f1 grid reactions to their girlfriend enjoying privacy and not wanting to be in the spotlight at gps? Like for example choosing to go to the regular audience instead of the garage to watch races etc to avoid excessive cameras? If you don't want to do all could you do either Charles, Lewis, or Lando?

I won’t do all the drivers because I think there’s only so many reactions but I will do the three you’ve requested 🥰 sorry for the delay I’ve had a lot of stuff on recently!

***

Charles

Charles watched from across the room as you pulled your Ferrari cap over your head, adjusting it so you could slip your sunglasses on and off with ease. The two of you had been together for nearly two years now, but you had still never set foot inside the paddock - and whilst he understood your reasons, the selfish part of him really wanted you there this weekend. He was starting his home race from P1 and he was positive he had a real shot this year.

He cautiously stepped towards you, taking your hips in his hands so he could press a soft kiss to your shoulder.

“Are you sure I can’t convince you to join me in the garage, mon ange?” He hummed, resting his cheek against yours as you met his eyes in the mirror.

“Mhmm, I quite like being surrounded by your adoring fans.” You giggled, tilting your head so he could press kisses to your neck. “The roars of Monegasque feel all the more thrilling when you’re a part of it. Their home hero starting on pole? No way I’m missing out on that.”

Charles let you turn in his arms, your arms coming up to loop around his neck - you couldn’t help but smile at the fond look in his eyes as he looked at you. He really wished you were going to be at the barriers, so he could wrap you up in his arms when he finally won, but he knew all the cameras in your face would be too much for you.

“I’ll always respect your decision to enjoy the race from the grandstands, as long as you know if you ever change your mind, there’s a special spot in the back of my garage just for you.” His voice was soft as he nudged his nose against yours. “If they get too rowdy-”

“Charles, I’ll be okay… now, go win for me.”

Lewis

Being a 7 time world champion definitely came with its privileges - but privacy was not one of them. So keeping his relationship close to his chest was not only important to him but to you. You loved him more than words could ever describe, but the idea of walking through all of the press holding his hand was still daunting to you - so you preferred to support him nestled away in the crowds. In your 5 years together, somehow, you’d never been “exposed”, so blending in was easy.

Lewis was by no means ashamed of you, in fact, he was filled with nothing but pride when he spoke of you - but being able to keep his personal life private, out of the grasps of the greedy, was important to him as well. He spent his days with every movement, every word being picked apart by the media and he wanted to be able to protect you from it all.

“You could at least wear my merch, babe.” He laughed softly, as you emerged from the bathroom, donned in another team’s merchandise, holding his hands out for you to take. “How am I gonna do well knowing you’re in the crowd wearing that?”

You scoffed playfully, taking his hands, looking down at him from where he was sitting on the edge of the bed. “I am wearing something for you… just for your eyes though.”

He quirked a brow, removing his hands from yours to hook his fingers into your waistband, pulling it away just enough to see his trademark colour against your skin hidden underneath. A groan left his lips and he lent his forehead against your middle.

“So…” you purred. “You gonna race well knowing what your prize is?”

“Fuck yes.”

Lando

Neon yellow was not your colour. When Lando first showed it to you, you weren’t sure it was anyone’s colour, but as you strolled through Silverstone - it seemed that it was everyone’s. You smiled softly to yourself as you adjusted your own hat, sidling up the grandstands to find your seat - nestled in between a group of Lando’s fans, who very quickly pulled you into the fray once they realised you were alone.

You’d ended up getting a seat at Luffield corner, not expecting your boyfriend’s car during the parade to pull up to be interviewed by Natalie. There was no way he’d ever know you were here - you told him you couldn’t make it, but in reality you wanted to enjoy it from the crowds.

The giggles that escaped you as his t-shirt cannon failed dramatically, made your heart swell. He’d come so far in the years you’d known him and to see him so adored was really special. You fished your phone out of your pocket when it buzzed, his name lighting up your screen, just moments before you knew he had to get into the car.

Miss u x

You smiled softly, turning as you felt a gentle tap on your shoulder. The girl smiled gently albeit a little awkwardly at you. “Hi, sorry, you’re y/n, Lando’s girlfriend, right?”

“That’s me.” You chuckled.

“How come you’re out here instead of in there?” She asked, her voice laced with curiosity, not judgement.

You turned a little in your chair to face her better. “Wanted to enjoy the race from the grandstands, I’ve always loved the atmosphere and just because I’m dating him I didn’t want to stop.”

She gave you a knowing nod. “That’s absolutely fair. Well, when you see him, can you tell him I said hi?”

“Hey, how about we all send him a good luck selfie? He’s probably not got his phone anymore but he’ll see it after the race.” You beamed.

Everyone crowded around you and you took a photo - their smiles practically lighting up the screen. You knew Lando would love it, so you sent it back.

We’re all rooting for you <3 You’ve got this!x

Lando was a little disappointed not to win the race, especially at home - he’d managed to hang on to the lead just for a little while, but it just wasn’t enough. All he wanted was to wrap himself up in your arms and feel sorry for himself for not being able to hold onto the lead, but you weren’t here. When he finally got a moment of peace, he checked his phone - eyes widening at the selfie.

You were here, nestled amongst the floods of neon - your smile somehow brighter. He tapped on your name to call you, tapping his foot against the floor - biting at the skin around his fingernails.

“Hi Lando.” Your voice sounded like a dream.

“How come you didn’t tell me you were here.” He knew he sounded whiny but he didn’t care, he needed you with him ASAP. “Could’ve watched from the garage… given me a good luck kiss.”

“Well, looks like you didn’t need it. You raced amazingly today, baby, I’m so proud of you… maybe I’ll meet you back at your hotel, show you how proud I am?”

Lando couldn’t help but jut his bottom lip out a little. “Sure I can’t tempt you to come to the garage?”

“I’m sure. Too flashy for me. I love you, see you in a little while.”

“I love you too. Bye babe.” He smiled to himself, hanging up the phone - holding it to his chest.

As much as he’d wished you were in the garage, he loved the part of you that wanted to enjoy races from the grandstands - experience the race how you wanted, not just using your relationship to waltz around the paddock.

Now… he just had to find the quickest way back to the hotel.

2025 is coming so i let my friend @kayseeye [new agdt mod and assistant!!] clear agdt's askbox

as devastating as it was to see a bunch of creative remarks and asks go down the drain - let's be real, i won't have time to answer them with how linear the story is becoming for ease of access [goodbye 500 asks... though kacey took screenshots of drawings you guys sent in our inbox!!!]

hooowever, there's also another key reason we had to clear the inbox

[^ satire btw]

very long and convoluted psa/ramble about this matter ahead! but also slightly important and i encourage you to read it if you think about using agdt's inbox as a way to vent or share things about your irl troubles

some people treat the blog's inbox as a venting area

it doesn't really make me uncomfortable, it's just something i prefer not seeing. i don't like sharing or being shared personal information especially from an anon or a stranger

this doesn't go for just agdt - it goes for all blogs you interact with: please don't make yourself vulnerable to a stranger on the internet. you are putting yourself in a dangerous spot.

if you need escapism or help, turn to a professional or someone close - going to a stranger can go horribly wrong in two ways: you make them uncomfortable and subject them to a responsibility they never signed up for, or you let someone use your vulnerabilities and personal information against you.

i can probably count like 100 or so asks of people sharing something overly personal and asking for comfort. i don't hate it, i'm not mad, i'm just worried and i hope the people who send them become aware that they should not send those asks knowing that if they're answered, they could be answered publicly with everyone and their mama being able to see that vulnerable moment in that ask.

"just ignore them, wyll! besides, you didn't have any rules abt yo blog anyway, yo!"

nah, i'd win

can't exactly ignore them when it's been almost a year of young impressionable users over sharing to a stranger who answers asks publicly [along with the fact that i hardly see people talk about this matter when it comes to rp/ask blogs.] also so they don't do this to another askblog that has another impressionable youngin running it and publicizes asks that contain personal life info.

we don't add rules to asks on agdt because we can pick and choose which ones we answer. a set of rules isn't going to stop an asshole from breaking them so i'm not wasting my time trying to enforce one. and that's not what i'm trying to do in this post either. i'm putting this out there because i don't want people making the irrational decision of making their life and weakest moments accessible to people who want to use it against them.

i'm not trying to make a big deal out of this either. i can just skip or delete asks that i know i shouldn't answer or won't be able to. but that's my side of responsibility as someone with a platform. i want to make it clear that the audience that decides to interact with these kinds of blogs should be aware that just because you're behind a screen and concealed by an internet persona, that doesn't mean you're any safer from other people using your vulnerabilities against you.
