ID below:

[ID: An image of a poem. At the top is a title “HUNGER / THIRST” bolded and underlined. Below that, in italics and in a smaller font size, is a watermark that reads “@rydykg”. The poem reads:

THE HUNTER NEVER SLEEPS / THE PASTOR NEVER WEEPS

THERE’S ONE THING IN COMMON THERE:

WHERE WOULD THEY HAVE THE TIME FOR CARE?

A CYCLE OF SELF-DESTRUCTION / IN FAVOUR OF SELF-ACQUISITION

YOU EAT AND PLAY AND DRINK AND PRAY

IN SATISFACTION / FOR EXONERATION

CLAP YOUR HANDS AND BE ON YOUR MERRY WAY

A WHITE STRIP OF FREEDOM / OF GUILT

WRAPPED TIGHT AROUND AND ROUND YOUR THROAT

THE PATHWAY TO YOUR EMPTY AND ACHING HOLLOW

AREN’T YOU ALWAYS HUNGRY?

AREN’T YOU ALWAYS THIRSTY?

IS THE WATER NOT THICK ENOUGH?

IS THE PAIN NOT RED ENOUGH?

THE HUNGER NEVER SLEEPS / THE THIRST NEVER WEEPS

DO NOT LET YOUR TEARS AND FEARS GO TO WASTE

AN ELYSIAN STATE IS A NONEXISTENT PLACE

There is a sharp inhale from the door, one that tries to be muffled, but fails to do so. Despite himself, a smile twitches at his lips.

It must be surprising. Dong Yuanchi has never taken a day off before, not even once. He constantly worked towards power, towards improvement.

That’s all in the past. Improvement is good and all, but there is no use in trying to be the best anymore. That has never been written into his fate.

Dong Yuanchi thinks he can afford himself this little rest.

more than one sentence but. the context was necessary :D

this week’s word is…

Am I interested in Dick Grayson's innovativeness and how that makes him a terrifying opponent?

Nah, not really, no, it's no- EXCEPT THAT I AM!

I love your analysis and honestly, I always surf through the dick Grayson tag once a day to see if u have posted. Pls drop the innovatiness wala analysis. I would absolutely eat it up

ADSAJHFGAJLHADJLHA YOU CAN'T SEDUCE ME LIKE THAT-MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT!

But I am here to deliver *bows*

Let's start this off with a bang

Dick is completely naked except for a towel and with one (well defined) leg he hooks the handle of the beer bucket and sends it smashing into Midnighter to stop him from using the knife on another person.

Pure. Fucking. Platinum.

That move was so delicious, there's an ease-fluidity-grace-to that split second movement. Also notice how accurate his aim is despite swinging it with the arc of his toes. The bucket slammed right into the medulla oblongata, or more specifically the pyramidal tracts which are crucial for controlling voluntary muscular movements. Nerves from the brain cross over at that area as they go down and then synapse onto other nerves that are responsible for controlling muscles when they leave the spinal cord. The precision at which he aimed the bucket is glorious. And with what? His feet.

The only reason Midnighter wasn't injured is because he is a meta which is the point. Otherwise Dick wouldn't have aimed there unless he was fighting an enemy.

Oh that brings me to my next point.

Dick has extraordinary control of his actions

He's so right though. Nightwing doesn't need to kill because fighting is too easy for him. I swear he has some kind of messed up idea (aside from his need to be absolutely good) that killing someone with a gun would take the joy out of fighting. He loves to live life on the hardest mode only.

The rapid fire throw of the gun, calculating the distance, time, velocity of return, and angle? I mean I studied physics and calculating even half of that on paper is a headache. The fact that he did it in one second? It's extraordinary. Things that are pure, dumb luck to literally everyone else is carefully calculated at a speed faster than light, making it look like luck. Damn.

Yeah.

Forget Slade. Midnighter is my new favorite nemesister.

DO YOU SEE WHAT HE FOUGHT WITH?! WHILE DEATHSTROKE AND BLACK ADAM WERE FIGHTING WITH META POWERS AND A CURSED SWORD, HE FUCKING WRAPPED CHAINS AROUND HIMSELF LIKE A BOSS AND WHIPPED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT MAN.

Please take a moment of silence to relish in this sight.

Dick's innovativeness is a formidable skill when fighting allies.

Dick and Ras are evenly matched in sword fighting.

Wait, wait. I don't need any doubts about Dick's strength in sword fighting so I'm going to include a couple panels here:

Dick fights Azrael to a standstill which is absolutely incredible because Azrael solos. He's gone through many upgrades and skills and is one of the best fighters ever. He's even defeated Bruce.

He also defeated Jason and Tim together in Batman and Robin Eternal.

This is just another point towards the fact that Dick actually won in his fight against Bruce before going into Spyral. They weren't holding back.

Oh yeah. Ra's vs Dick panel, Dick and Ra's aren't going anywhere because Dick is a swordsman equivalent to one of the best in the world. So how do you win a draw? By one upping the opponent. He swings his foot up in midair and completely defeats him. "But that isn't a defeat...Ra's just stopped fighting!" It was complete defeat because Ra's is intelligent and knows when he can't win. Also they have been fighting for a while until they reached the breaking point in the battle. This move is a show of how Dick has that just one inch more that will lead him to be a victor.

Ra's honors Dick so much he tried to give the sword he used to fight with Batman because he thinks Dick is worthy of it. Can anyone receive a higher honor than this from that man?

He'll also use the broken glass of a car window to take down his opponent. If that's not innovation, then what is?

But one last thing since a car door cannot be considered innovative these days.

sticks. He literally took two twigs off the ground to use as weapons against his highly skilled, one of the best assassins, great-grandfather who is fighting with daggers in his hands and all over his body.

But you know the best part?

He draws his opponent to a tie. A tie? Not a win? No it was win after, considering he used his relative's falling body as a launching pad in the middle of the air when they were falling off the bridge to grab onto the bridge with the help of his friend. So it was his win but it's insane how incredible Dick's skills are.

It's really innovative because who thinks of using twigs and winning? Let me also clarify another point. Dick could've used the knives he'd gotten from his talon suit and thoroughly won because when he was brain washed he almost killed Red Condor from how skilled he was but he conscientiously chose to use twigs. In a sword fight. This man.

His improvisation is an asset that many have come to know him for and classify him as dangerous because he can fight with anything, anywhere, and win.

Something I want to end with. Dick only fights people who are stronger than him. I know he's fought mob characters and stuff but his enemies? They are all metas, assassins, skilled fighters, Russian Black Ops, and more. Essentially, people who are the top of the class in their categories and him defeating them equally and fairly is the reason why he has the respect of his enemies. He's just that good.

EXPEDITION: a journey undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, especially that of exploration, research, or war.

1. Sometimes that journey is a little rough. More often than not, the group gets lost. The worst, in my experience, is being lost amidst blue waters; did you know oceans take up about 70% of Earth’s space? Regardless of how big forests can seem or how deep the caverns go, at least it’s friendlier to machinery trying to find you. The oceans do not hold that same courtesy, especially not to the parasites trying to invade and kill them.

2. Sometimes desperation is a little rough. But if you’re lucky enough, the trick works, and you can find yourself some sturdy land to rest on. Maybe you’ll even find civilisation, but it’s unlikely; did you know that only around 1.78% of all islands in the world are inhabited? Not for lack of trying either. But you can still bring back some results and fulfil the purpose of an expedition — if you bring anything back at all.

3. Sometimes eating is a little rough. It’s highly unlikely that you’re in the arctic (and if you are, you will most likely be dead by now) and as such, there are no big polar bears you and your group can squeeze to last weeks. Maybe there will be little critters and insects that you’ll have to throw away your dignity to feast on. It’s predator vs prey, after all, and if you don’t get them first, they’ll get you.

4. Sometimes hunting is a little rough. There’s only so much the fauna can adapt to, after all. Maybe you’ll even hunt them out of existence on the island entirely. If so, and if you haven’t already, you’ll turn to the meals of your meals. Most islands have barely any vegetation, but if you’re lucky, there can be some, though not all are good. The worst fruits are the red ones, especially the dark red ones, smooth like an apple and softly sweet.

5. Sometimes that survival is a little rough. If you’re unlucky enough, your supplies will run out, and not even the buds of fruits are left. Even energy can be scarce. In such a situation, when no planes have flown overhead and you’ve lost all contact with the outer world, what can you do? Did you know the survival rate of drifting out into the sea for help is lower than staying on an island? There’s nothing else to eat around… but there is more than one person.

(6. Sometimes, death is a little rough. Still, do you think you’d prefer death over this?)

Another AU. No DL-6. Byrne gets very close to finding out the identity of the ringleader, so the smuggling ring decided to act. Instead of killing Byrne, Callisto had to expose him for being Yatagarasu. Mack Rell still kills Deid Mann and during his trial Byrne is accused. But, unlike the original, trial continues and more and more evidence point at Faraday. But suddenly Badd appears, starting to give the testimony. After a few words he says something that only the real yatagarasu would know. When Callisto starts questioning him, Badd plays dumb, but ultimately admits to being the legendary thief. He says that he used his friendship with Byrne to gain access to different companies and position as a Detective to hide the evidence. Byrne is shocked, since he understands that his friend is now taking all of the blame for his own. However Badd doesn't back down and continues to disprove Byrne's allegations. The court was adjourned and Mack Rell is pronounced guilty. Tyrell is arrested. Callisto did what she wanted by immobilising Yatagarasu and leaves (???). Gregory and Eddie (Ray) hear about the case and want to prove Badd's innocence, but he refuses. Despite all their reasoning he refuses to have them as lawyers and even refuses his right to a lawyer. But despite this, Ray (Eddie) finds a way for them to represent Badd in court. Ray (Eddie) switched to being a state lawyer and asks Gregory to be his judicial assistant, so Tyrell can't get away from them. They meet Faraday, who looks 10 years older because of the shock. Badd took all the blame, because he wanted to protect Byrne and, most importantly, Kay. +Badd didn't want to make Gregory compliciant, so doesn't invite him to the trio/defence. Thus begins the story of mysterious theif that poses the question: are all the truths should be revealed?

Hey i recently got into yttd and i absolutely ADORE your account. May i request a (yandere of course) shin hcs for when you talk back or blow up at him. Because he's very weak i imagine he wont be able to do any physical punishments. Like maybe he does some psychological torture?

(Any pronouns work!)

A/N: ok so we’ve all accepted atp that i’m an on-and-off writer and that part of the process is disappearing for months and coming back w a post, right? right, cool,,,,,anyways theres sm more i wanna add to this one bc i got inspo from a rlly good book + some good fics i found on ye olde quotev but my typing couldnt keep up w my brain <//3 

TWs: uhhhh idk, gaslighting, police mention, manipulation? Idk if ths what it is, isolation, violence/abuse mention, forced dependency, mental illness mention (idk if ths a tw but wvr), medication mention

💻tbh at first, he becomes a bit genuinely worried

💻i mean, it’s not like he wouldn’t expect you to not lash out at all

💻all healthy couples have little spats, from time to time! 

💻but a part of him kinda thought that he’d be able to keep you docile enough that you’d return his feelings, and this entire thing could be avoided :(

💻that paired with the fact that it was such an extreme reaction, too,,,,

💻all he did was “fix” your phone a bit so that your calls & texts wouldn’t go to anyone besides himself and any family that you have, is all!

💻but really, it was for your own good

💻if you could see all those mean things your ‘friends’ were saying about you, about your relationship in their other group chats? 

💻you would be devastated!

💻he was only helping you out a bit

💻seems like you’re kinda overreacting, it wasn’t that bad :////

💻yeah so once gaslight gatekeep girlboss goes out the window, he’s rlly left with no choice;

💻if you’re so angry at him, then leave!

💻go carry out your normal life before you met him!

💻Except with just one phone call, he’s got people all over town on the lookout for you, and actual help from law enforcement out of the question

💻after all, as far as the police & everyone else in town knows, you’re his poor poor darling, sick in the head, whose been refusing to take their medication for quite some time after suffering a traumatic incident

💻and you’ve suddenly run off! how tragic :(

💻and those blunt force trauma injuries that you “mysteriously” woke up with, after getting a bit too violent for his liking in the midst of your little outburst?

💻those aren’t helping your case <//3

💻so yyyyeah,,,,add nobody to believe you to the list of problems you currently have

💻even your family would be reluctant to take your word

💻after all, Shin is such a nice boy! And you haven’t been acting quite right, everyone’s worried for you, yknow??

💻you could never tell them that yeah, you’ve been acting weird because you’re basically being forced to stay with an obsessive stalker

💻they wouldn’t believe you before, they won’t believe you now

💻you can yell at him all you want, but at the end of the day, he’s the only person who you have

💻and even if you don’t want to accept that���.well, you’ll come around eventually <3

viii - bunny ; june prompts by @nosebleedclub

ID below:

[ID: an image of a poem. The title is bolded and underlined and says “mr. big bad wolf”. Below that is a smaller and italicised watermark reading “@rydykg”. The poem reads:

mr. big bad wolf, won’t you do me a favour?

will you please engulf me, wholly and well?

it isn’t enough to leave pieces behind,

it falls onto you to take me clean

and leave no escape for your pretty little prey

will you be the big bad wolf

coming to eat me up?

i’m no piglet building walls,

but you’re a predator with such big teeth

and i’m a bunny running away

dear big bad wolf, won’t you come along

to huff and puff and blow me away?

or maybe you’ll dress up, nice and normal

to have big eyes and a big nose and big teeth

and hide away the awful, dark truth.

if so, my big bad wolf doesn’t need to worry,

i’m no piglet or little miss red

who hides and shuns away from your care

i’m the little bunny that will bounce into your heart

so won't you be with me and stay?

"you love him. you've loved him since you were 9 and you love him now 20 years later." TW: references to transphobic bullying, angst, fluff, allusions to offscreen smut, alcohol mention, menstruation mention. pairing: kyle x ftm!reader

1.5k words of childhood friends to strangers to friends to lovers. as always i've barely edited it so typos and errors may remain. edit to add: a massive thank you and shout out to @gemmahale for cheerleading me with this one and reminding me to trust my instincts. i love you a lot.

-- you love him. you’ve loved him since he first shared his curly-wurly during break time at primary school. head over heels puppy love. your mum teasing you with a “my little girl with her first boyfriend!” despite the way it makes your cheeks burn (and something twist inside your chest) when you both stand shyly together at 3.15 hand in hand waiting to go home. 

you love kyle when he’s the joseph to your mary in the nativity. you love the way the teatowel your mum leant his mum slips into his eyes and causes him to laugh and forget his next line about needing to find an inn. you love him when he wraps you up in a big hug when missus king takes a photo of you both as your mum cheers the loudest from the back of the little crowd in the assembly hall. 

you love kyle even when you both grow up and go to secondary school at 11, split up into different form groups and different timetables. you love him even more when he folds you into his little band of miscreants, “one of the boys” he says with a cheeky grin that warms you all the way through.

you love kyle when he chooses you first for the biology practical lesson, flicking little slithers of onion at you to make you laugh, despite the way anna-marie looks you up and down and whispers something cruel about how “he just pities the he-she” loud enough for you to hear. 

you love kyle when he skives off school with you the day your period takes you unaware. he sneaks in through the kitchen door 15 minutes after your mum leaves for work, a battered curly-wurly and bottle of oasis clutched in one hand and his rucksack in the other. you love him when he settles onto the sofa, dragging your duvet over the two of you, flicking the telly on so you can both watch bargain hunt together. 

you love kyle the day he cuddles you into his chest, completely uncaring about the way your snot and tears mark his t-shirt as you sob, both of you curled up on your bed. you love him so completely when he listens to you stutter out that you think you’re not really a girl. you still love him when he pulls away for the first time, a tiny frown on his face. you still love him when he doesn’t reply to your text asking him if he got home alright later that night. 

you still love kyle when he starts ignoring you in school, no longer coming to find you during lunchtime. you still love him when he doesn’t laugh along with harry when you trip during design tech but he doesn’t stop james hissing “freak show” as you rub at your hip from where you banged into their table. 

you still love kyle even when your mum sits you down at the kitchen and asks you how you feel about moving schools at 16. you still love kyle when you ask her “but what about kyle?” and her voice catches when she offers you a gentle “oh love” with wet eyes. 

you still love kyle when he stumbles into you at mattie’s house party when you’re both 18, a shocked look on his face when he takes in your close cropped hair and wispy facial hair on your cheeks, despite the fact you haven’t spoken in years. you still love kyle even when he calls you the wrong name and your mumble gets swallowed up by cheers from the kitchen as someone spots kyle in the hallway. you still love kyle when you spot him crowd mattie’s older sister georgia up against the bannister and kiss her breathless before leading her up the stairs with his hand on her waist. you still love kyle when you end up sobbing into alex’s neck, their hand rubbing your back gently as the dew from the front lawn soaks the knees of your jeans. you still love kyle even as alex murmurs that “you should just forget him babe” into your hair as you sob anew.

you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle the next time you run into him, many years later when you pop into the pub under oath from mattie to meet her for a quick pint to catch up. you recognise the shape of kyle’s smile even if he is partially turned away to grin at a man with broad shoulders and a slightly flattened mohawk standing next to him at the bar. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle when he catches you looking and his smile slips momentarily as he offers you a tiny nod of acknowledgement before turning back to his friend. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle even when your eyes keep drifting over to him and the other three men in the corner booth as mattie fills you in on everything you missed during your years travelling around australia. 

you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle when you bump into him again in the same pub the following week. literally bumping into him as you turn away from the bar with a pint in your hand. kyle steadies you with a hand on your forearm and you feel your heart soar before plummeting into the sticky carpet at your feet. you pull your arm away from him and your drink sloshes over the rim of your glass as you offer him a tight smile before stepping to the side. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle, but you can’t help but feel the warmth of his hand long after you’ve rejoined mattie and alex at your table. 

you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle but a thrill goes up your spine when he asks you if he could “have a word with you, mate” as he joins you in the beer garden the week after that. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle but your heart aches as he stumbles his way through an apology. you’ve forgotten how much you missed your friend kyle when he makes you stutter out a surprised laugh when he talks about his friend soap knocking some sense into him. 

you’ve forgotten how much you missed your friend kyle when he texts you asking if you want to join him and his sisters for a chinese. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when he hands you his vegetable spring rolls without asking. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when after dinner he leads you up to his childhood bedroom and he kicks his dirty socks under his bed like you’ve seen him do many times before. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when your ribs ache from laughing and he’s wearing that beautiful grin. 

you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when he slips into the open seat next to you at the pub, his arm slung over the back of your chair, much to the matching shocked expressions of mattie and alex. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when he takes alex’s frosty demeanour on the chin. you fall in love with your friend kyle again when he responds to mattie’s pointed rhetorical “you know you broke his heart, yeah?” with a small squeeze to your shoulder and serious “i know, i was a fucking idiot.”.

you fall in love with kyle again when his hands shake on your waist as he leans in to kiss you outside your house under the flickering glow of a streetlight. just like you hoped he would so many years ago when you were both teenagers. you fall in love with kyle again when he pulls away to take in your stupefied expression and he asks if you’re okay, if he can kiss you again. you fall in love with kyle again when he gently turns you around so he can push you up against the front door to trail sucking kisses down your neck as your keys hit the doormat with a tinkling sound. you fall in love with kyle again when you ask him to slow down - wait - please - as he’s reaching for the top button of your jeans. you fall in love with kyle again when he traces gentle fingers over the scars on your chest, adoration in his eyes.

you love kyle when you trip over your boxers and his shirt the following morning as you stumble to the bathroom. you love kyle when you slip back into bed and he sleepily nuzzles into your neck. you love kyle when his phone blares his alarm from the back pocket of his trousers near the door to your bedroom 30 minutes later. 

you love him. you’ve loved him since you were 9 and you love him now 20 years later as he presses a kiss to your hair. you love him. -- taglist: @kaadaaan

more like sentences, but it’s short, so! anyway, the hai they’re talking about here is the chinese character 海, which stands for what they say below.

“…Xiao Hai.”

“Hai for ocean?” Luo Siyang smiled. “A nice name.”

“It’s Hai for sea, too!”

This Week's Prompt Poll

(Yeah I don't remember what made me write an entire self-contained thing, but the premise is "what if Jak busted out of the medics' place in 3 before they took him to meet with Damas, and somehow wandered into the Arena in hospital pajamas before wreaking havoc and subsequently almost costing two people their jobs")

[hexedrosel-arts]

Opal ref

Getting a good full body because she has been on mind

She's gonna get so much lore when I'm bothered to write but write now some fun facts!

Her full name Opaline

Her eyelashes(the little bumps on her eyes) are based on the way little kids draw flower petals.

The pupils and eyes are also based on the way some kids try to mimic anime eyes(aka what I tried to do when I was younger lol)

Her giant gloves are weightless to her, but to whoever is on the unfortunate end of her wrath, they pack a punch, and can break a rib or two.

While Opal has more knowledge than the human brain can comprehend in a life time, she has the mannerisms of a 5 year old, a very intelligent but violent 5 year old.

The buttons and triangles on her jacket are references to opals, specifically white opals

She was based off of another ocs sister that they weren't able to see, until Opaline obtained her own personality.

She originally came to me in a dream and was blonde, I've slowly redesigned her over time.

[twisted-wonderland-but-gayer]

I need a yuu who is so petty about the overblots and having to fight them, that they just annoy the dorms leaders + jamil

Like yuu is just telling some heartslabyul kids about a queen of hearts rule- that they totally didn’t make up on the spot (there’s like 800 I doubt every student knows all of them)

“Oh yeah did you know that rule 400 says you can’t wear striped pants on weekdays? Crazy right?” yuu always makes sure riddle hears whatever “rule” they come up with

Or to spite vil yuu is just pretending to fawn over neige. “Oh wow look at that poster of neige! Oh man he’s so cute, he truly deserves the title of fairest of all…”

Yuu was later found dead in ramshackle

With jamil I just imagine yuu to Kirby inhale an entire scarabia feast that jamil just finished making. They’re hungry they deserve it.

Mean Yuu Lore

Okay but no I can imagine a really sweet yuu start to despise everything cause of the constant bullying they go through. Makes them reckless or want to die and the Overblotter realizes it's all their fault this sweet ray of sunshine is now jaded and dull.

Just please imagine

"Look.. I'm sorry"

"Okay I don't forgive you"

"I said I'm sorry."

"And I do not forgive you"

[rydykg]

no, not really. but yes.

a weapon in the way a sewing needle is, the way a broom is, the way a book is. kind, oftentimes, more to help and hearth and generally busy not being a weapon.

but in desperate times, in desperate measures, when there’s nothing else to pick up—

well. i can be a weapon, yes.

Are you a weapon?
