#kind of I didn't say anything of substance lmao

[shiraishi--kanade]

I feel like the project sekai fandom should talk more about Mizuki initial 3-star side story more. More specifically, part one. 👀

Especially the An Shiraishi fandom 💫

Like. The fact that An was singing ALONE on the rooftop when Mizuki found her.

Someone gotta do an analysis about that interaction, someone who’s way better at analyzing than me. 👀

Anon I appreciate you saying that and the asks themselves but as much as I would really love to slap some deeper meaning onto that interaction and especially An being on the rooftop I think that's... Just because she didn't want to bother anyone lmao. My girl's singing is loud when she wants it to be. Rooftop kind of seems like a good place to practice unless she's in the mood to find an empty classroom, but it's also probably not visited by teachers much so it's pretty much a no-brainer.

The interaction itself is pretty interesting though, especially as it probably (probably. Proseka timeline is a hot, hot mess) takes place before Vivids teamed up, or at least teamed up for good, and definitely before VBS as a team came to be, which is probably why she's alone. It's surface-level, but it shows that:

1) Mizuki and An are still only getting closer as friends, because they so happen to only now find out they share a very crucial interest, or perhaps Mizuki only now started to trust An enough to tell her about it (they've been part of N25 for at least some months and this point and... It could have not come up at this point, still, but why wouldn't it? Alternatively, how did An's singing not come up to this point either? She's much less secretive about those things. Early pjsk funkiness again?)

2) They both can immediately tell the other is serious about their music and love it, even by subtle hints, so it's just like... Really sweet in general. As well as the fact that they managed to become friends without even mentioning music in the first place.

An interesting detail is that An doesn't mention Rad Weekend by name, just as "a dream", which is not what she usually does. I wish I could find an explanation for it but I think it's just early Proseka exploring the possibilities and laying out the foundation for the units, so unfortunately them just not wanting to throw everything at the readers at once is a more probable reason than anything I can come up with.

3) Together with her being on the rooftop and apparently not mentioning RW to Mizuki before it can be used to highlight An's Middle School "I can't find a partner no matter how hard I try" loneliness, but at that point rooftop hasn't really been established as a Place of Middle School Blues by the cast (Rui, Mizuki and Shiho most prominently), so is it intentional? Hard to say. Cool detail in retrospective though.

That being said it's a nice side story overall, though I'm sad these singing lessons didn't really... Become a thing for those two like for Nene and Ichika. I think that arc would have a lot of potential, honestly.

Huh. Maybe someone should write it. Perhaps. Wink.

Tokyo Revengers Groupchat (Final Timeline)

Warnings: suggestive (i might have to change this warning to "mentions of sexual content" bcs it's too tame of a warning for the stuff that's actually in here), swearing, the word "pedophile" is mentioned, mentions of substance abuse

Desc: Everyone finds out Takemitchy and Mikey are time leapers, which leads to some...interesting questions

Mitsuya: so let me get this straight

Mitsuya: you're a time traveler, and you've lived dozens of timelines to prevent Hina from dying but she kept dying anyway but then when you got to one where she didn't die, Mikey was some deranged criminal lord and was miserable and depressed and tried to kill himself so you had to go back in time again to make sure everything was fixed but ended up dying while fighting Mikey but then somehow you both went back in time and rewrote all of our entire lives??

Takemitchy: yeah...

Baji: cap

Mikey: it's not

Mitsuya: so Mikey's a time traveler too?

Mikey: yeah it's crazy i know

Draken: do you guys have any way to prove this?

Chifuyu: this explains why i keep getting random visions of me in alternate universes. holy shit

Haruchiyo: weird ass prank

Takemitchy: i think it happened since you're close to me and we basically did everything together. i'm not sure

Inupi: we're just gonna believe this?

Koko: wait, i kind of do

Kisaki: this...defies all logic of anything ever.

Mikey: shut up Kisaki

Mikey: i'm sorry it's just that in ever other timeline you've ruined my life so it's difficult to be nice to you sometimes

Kisaki: so you don't like me because of something i did in another universe?

Takemitchy: *timeline

Mikey: yeah. my bad

Baji: i'm gonna entertain this cause i'm bored but what was i like in other timelines

Mikey: dead

Baji: ...all of em?

Mikey: yeah, it kinda drove me to insanity

Baji: damn

Baji: why?

Mikey: you killed yourself to save Kazutora

Baji: what was the context

Mikey: long story

Baji: there wasn't any other way?

Mikey: you're kinda pissing me off cause that's what i was wondering, actually

Baji: damn

Kazutora: thanks man. appreciate it🙏

Kazutora: i'll slobber on your meat later, as a proper thank you

Baji: i'd appreciate that. thanks homie🙌

Koko: what about me?

Baji: you wanna slobber on my meat? i mean i won't stop you. as long as i can call you kitten.

Koko: ...i was talking about me in alternate universe's😐

Takemitchy: i don't think we should go there guys. there's too many timelines, and not everything was exactly the same. and also in general it was a really traumatizing experience for me and i kind of want to end my life every time i think about it

Hanma: womp womp. what about me???

Mikey: murderer

Hanma: YESSSSS 😭😭😭😭😭

Hanma: THANK GOD, I KNEW IF I COULDN'T DO IT HERE, MULTIVERSE ME WOULD HAVE LIVED THE DREAM

Hanma: are me and Tetta-san together in every universe

Mikey: surprisingly, yes

Hanma: and he denies we're soulmates😔

Kisaki: i will not hesitate to get another restraining order

Hanma: a piece of paper won't stand in my way. let's get married

Kisaki: i will call the police

Draken: guys are we really entertaining this?

Mikey: you went to jail in one of the timelines and you were bald LMAO

Draken: sure

Baji: why'd he go to jail?

Mikey: these guys killed Emma and Ken-chin took revenge

Baji: respectable

Mikey: he was given a death sentence

Baji: that's tough fr

Ran: i'm kinda curious

Ran: humour me, what was i like?? was i famous?

Mikey: you were a criminal. killed people

Ran: sounds about right if i'm being honest

Ran: and Haruchiyo and Rindou?

Haruchiyo: leave me out of Takemitchy's psychotic episodes

Haruchiyo: i think you have a hallucination/delusion disorder or something

Mikey: but don't you believe me?

Haruchiyo: ...

Haruchiyo: Mikey, you're also pretty mentally ill

Mikey: says you???

Haruchiyo: i just have substance abuse problems and i'm getting clean so...

Mikey: GUYS I'M TELLING THE TRUTH I SWEAR

Mikey: I'VE BEEN GOING CRAZY KEEPING THIS A SECRET

Draken: when was the last time you slept?

Mikey: ☹️

Baji: guys just play pretend.

Rindou: what about me?

Mikey: same as your brother just uh, less gay and slutty?

Rindou: story of my life

Inupi: you didn't do Koko

Mikey: criminal

Koko: the whole time?

Mikey: yeah

Mikey: Inupi got normal at some point because he and Ken-chin got close and they fixed bikes together and had sex

Inupi: Draken????

Draken: you're really starting to piss me off.

Mikey: Akane died in the fire though like she was BURNT

Takemitchy: uh Mikey-kun...

Mikey: she was a crisp i'm telling you

Mikey: Inupi you had an ugly red scar on your face and no one wanted you

Mikey: Izana i know you're reading this, you were fucking insane dude like you killed Emma for some fucking reason then Kisaki shot you 3 times in the chest and you died while having a really bad mental breakdown. it was a major L on your part

Chifuyu: Mikey why are you leaving out the fact that the common denominator in every single timeline was that you killed every single one of your friends in the most brutal ways possible🤨?

Mikey: no comment

Smiley: how'd he kill me?

Chifuyu: uhhh

Chifuyu: Takemitchy help me out here

Takemitchy: i don't want to talk about it😐

Chifuyu: I REMEMBER

Chifuyu: backshot

Smiley: ...

Smiley: he killed me by giving me backshots..?

Smiley: i would NEVER take it from behind

Smiley: especially from MIKEY

Smiley: small dick having ass

Smiley: my bootyhole is not to be messed with

Smiley: i'm so pissed off right now holy shit

Smiley: how did i even die???? dick so good it killed me?

Smiley: i'm so angry

Angry: and i'm Smiley😂

Baji: 3/10 joke 👎, poor delivery, fell flat

Smiley: i hope you kill yourself, Mikey

Mikey: trust me, i've tried

Chifuyu: ???

Chifuyu: he shot you in the back with a gun?

Chifuyu: what's wrong with you

Smiley: oh my bad i though you meant like, he was taking me doggy style

Smiley: i'm no bottom

Ran: what is happening

Chifuyu: i'm moving on😐

Chifuyu: Hakkai was tied to a chair and burnt to death

Hakkai: wha-

Hakkai: WHAT DID I DO??

Hakkai: jesus 😟

Chifuyu: why am i getting all these memories, i'm freaking out

Hakkai: Mikey please tell me what i did to deserve that ☹️

Mikey: idk Hakkai i was going through a lot

Draken: have you been diagnosed with anything?

Mikey: i don't need a diagnosis bcs i'm fine now, you're all alive and i don't have any murderous intent!!! yippee🤗

Mikey: isn't this great Takemitchy??

Takemitchy: well, yeah no ones dead so that's great

Izana: this is obviously completely fabricated

Izana: are you guys that bored?

Senju: man for all that time traveling you sure are a shit boyfriend😭

Takemitchy: how????

Takemitchy: did Hina say that☹️??

Senju: it's an observation

Senju: you've had way too many coincidental close calls with other woman💀

Draken: yeah you pissed me off when you thought i was gifting you a prostitute. you had a whole ass girlfriend. shame on you

Senju: and you also almost slept with Emma and you "don't remember"

Smiley: Mitchy's low-key funny as hell because what do you mean you stripped yourself and another girl down to your underwear by accident

Baji: wouldn't Takemitchy be a pedophile then?? Emma was 13 dawg🤨

Mikey: he was 14 though😭

Baji: you're gonna ride Takemitchy's dick to defend him from trying to sleep with your 13 year old sister??? crazy

Baji: wasn't be mentally 26🤨?

Baji: bro i'm gonna beat your ass actually

Mikey: hmm

Mikey: you know what Mitchy, why did you do that 🤨?

Smiley: LMFAOO

Mitsuya: why did i come back to Takemitchy facing pedophile allegations, like what's going on right now

Kazutora: is it not enough that he changed the space and time continuum just to be with his girl?

Kazutora: cheating this cheating that, my boy deserves all the pussy he wants

Kazutora: he's been beaten, shot, stabbed AND killed

Kazutora: i personally believe he's the goat

Baji: ?

Chifuyu: goat is an acronym for "greatest of all time", Baji-san

Baji: what's an acronym

Chifuyu: i'll dm

Kazutora: bro you're so fucking stupid😭

Draken: i don't care if he was skinned alive by an orangutan, there's no excuse to cheat on someone

Rindou: i think being skinned alive by an orangutang warrants having more than one girl. idk that's just me tho

Ran: not the point that's being made rn

Rindou: what exactly is the point that's being made

Rindou: is this real. are we being serious.

Rindou: i don't think i get the joke

Haruchiyo: i think we should all stop talking now

Mikey: Mitchy we need to talk a bit

Takemitchy: i told you this was a bad idea

[longing-for-rain]

Just so you know, some of your anons are coming from a blog called @mal3vol3nt

I do not know if you’re aware, but she’s chronically obsessed with you and has also been sharing your ao3 on Twitter and inciting harassment there too, saying you’re “racist” and a “degenerate” and accusing you of writing underage. Her blog lately is mainly posts about you and it sounds very similar to some of your anons

I had to check this out for myself and...wow. All I can say is just...wow 🤣

No, I actually had no idea who this person was but from the looks of it she's been obsessed with me for months? I guess that explains the anons, I knew these people were mad, but apparently they've been over here steaming over my takes and are legitimately terrified of me. And I didn't even know them! Didn't realize I've been doing numbers on Twitter (or X whatever it is now) despite never having an account.

(The rest is below; please don't click if you do not wish to see insensitive discussions of rape or if you are not in the mood to read opinions so malformed they will melt your brain)

I guess I have another angry little troll who doesn't know what a captial letter is obsessed with me. Wish I could say it was the first time, but alas. A lot of particularly funny things here though.

> Advertising your terrible ragebait Twitter like anyone finds you important

Lmao.

> "write fanfiction of katara being raped so zuko can save her"

What a terrible misread of the point of that story, but then again, I don't expect much else from a terminally online crybaby who exclusively consumes media for children. If you can't handle adult discussions about adult topics, maybe don't read stories that are clearly marked 18+ and with far more extensive trigger warnings than any mainstream media will give you.

> "measuring the size of her breasts and hips"

Lmao. I said she is drawn differently in different scenes. That's it. You guys are another level of unhinged.

> "obviously fetishes and racism"

It's kind of creepy how they sexualize Zutara, while simultaneously accusing us of doing that. Why do you assume a fetish is the only reason behind someone liking a ship? Why would you say this about a group of people including many black, brown, and indigenous women? And minors? And if you want to get into the whole fetish thing, don't even get me started on the shit I've seen from the kataang fandom. Hint: when I say some of you have a "mommy fetish" I mean it in a very literal sense. Not to mention the whole kataang rape discord debacle.

> "sick fantasies about these minor characters"

I have never depicted a minor in a sexual situation. I make a point to explicitly avoid doing that, and all characters are depicted as adults. Your lack of media literacy isn't an argument. If you're going to criticize my writing, at least read it, which you clearly didn't. And if the content is too upsetting for you, you clearly lack the maturity to engage in these kinds of discussions.

Imagine treating ship discourse this seriously, actually unhinged. Who said that Ember Island Players is the real Katara? What? She talks a big number about coke-fueled rants, must have given it a try herself. How do you expect to be taken seriously when you never say anything of substance and screech "racism" or "colonizer" every other word but can't even articulate the significance of those terms? Honestly, at this point you sound like a right-winger who thinks saying "but I'm [identity] and I agree with [opinion]" is a golden ticket to winning every argument.

And look at this: apparently I deserved all the things she and her friends sent me? Actually I respect this take, at least she's honest about it unlike the people who cry and backpeddle when they get caught red-handed.

I'm actually cackling at this one. Genuinely laughing; my neighbors are probably concerned. It's like you took every single Bad Person Allegation and threw it into a blender. And to top it all off, apparently 24 is "pushing 30" now LMAO. And apparently I, a lesbian, could only possibly like Zutara because I think Zuko is hot. Not to mention the way they entirely miss the point of Zutara, but ATLA itself, by insisting that Zuko is a "violent imperialist" who is apparently unworthy of love by anyone who does not share his skin tone. Kind of ironic coming from the people crying that I'm a racist who doesn't understand the show. Next level clownery.

This is so funny. These people are absolutely terrified of me, no amount of unhinged anons will hide that. It's fine for men to tell me I deserve rape and death, that I'm a dirty pervert for daring to speak out about sexual trauma, and that women's sexual trauma is nothing but a fetish, but if I respond to that man telling him he should die for being so disrespectful and misogynistic to rape victims, I'm the monster? I stand by it. If you think what he said about rape and rape victims is acceptable, especially if you're a man, die! Hang from ropes, as I said.🥰

I guess I should be really scared though. This is clearly a very influential figure in the fandom who is renowned for her enlightened wisdom on the plight of fictional cartoon characters against evil imperialists like me (adult with job).

...oh wait. I was excited for a minute, I thought I was dealing with a celebrity. But even the "callouts" struggle to hit 20 notes :/

And to everyone sending me positivity during this time, thank you very much! But I wanted to show you this to assure you I'm doing just fine. People can act as weird as they want behind a gray face, but after seeing the kinds of whiny little brats they are in reality, it's pretty hard to take it seriously. "I got my plane ticket" my ass, that would require you to leave your decaying, trash-filled apartment.

Summary: A stupid, poorly written little crackfic in which Ruggie stumbles across something he does not want to hear

Warnings: Very suggestive, probably ooc lmao

This Doesn't Deserve a Title

"Wait, was it a left or a right?"

Ruggie stood in one of the many glass walled tunnels of Octavinelle, looking around in frustration.

It was two lefts, then down the hall, then another two lefts, then a... did he go left or right? And then... wait...

He was lost. Positively, hopelessly lost.

This stupid fish dorm was like a maze. Endless hallways and spiralling staircases, the complete opposite Savanaclaw, left him stunned.

Ruggie rubbed the back of his neck and frowned, tapping his foot impatiently.

How thr bell was he going to hand those papers over for Leona if he couldn't find Azul?

Ruggie sighed and opted for taking a right, wandering down yet another hallway, though this one was lined with doors.

Ruggie strode down the hall with a frown, wondering if it was really worth the effort to give Azul these papers. Of course it was today. Azul wasn't in Mostro Lounge, just his luck...

The sound of muffled voices caught Ruggie's attention, and he perked up, ears swivelling.

He followed the sound, hoping he could at the very least get directions from someone. As he drew closer to a particular door, the voices became more distinguishable.

"Ngh... it hurts-"

Was that... Finn Clearcove?

"Just relax. It'll stop hurting in a bit~"

And Floyd Leech?

"A-ah, Floyd, it feels- ah!"

A serious of peculiar noises drifted through the door, making Ruggie's ears flatten. Finn was abnormally vocal, and Floyd sounded like he was straining with some kind of effort.

"You're squeezing too hard!"

"You're movin' too much! Just let me-"

"H-Haaah! Floyd!"

Ruggie's jaw dropped, and his face morphed into an expression of absolute astonishment.

"You're being too rough!"

"S'not like I can be gentle. Besides, I know you can take it."

What were they doing in there? They couldn't possibly be... no. There was no way.

"Then hurry up and put it in!"

Holy shit.

Once Ruggie's brain processed what he was listening to, he fumbled for his phone, a grin replacing his horrified expression. Now this, this was perfect blackmail.

He couldn't wait to see the look on Azul's face when he showed him what he had discovered going on on school grounds, under Azul's authority.

Ruggie tapped his pen against the door to unlock it and then swung it open, holding up his phone and bursting in like a hyena on a mission.

"Hah! You think you two can get away with doing thiiiiiiiii..?"

Ruggie trailed off and a sudden silence settled over the room as he stared at quite the opposite of what he was expecting to see.

The room was no bedroom. Rather, it used to be one that had been cleared of all furniture, except for a large clawfoot bathtub in the middle.

In said tub was Finn Clearcove in his mer form, gripping the tub with large black claws and staring at Ruggie with bright, amethyst eyes and a face that seemed more annoyed than anything else.

His tail was hanging out of the edge of the tub, held in place by a surpised Floyd dressed in his labwear. At his feet was a large jar with a very little bit of a viscous green substance inside.

Floyd let go of Finn's tail, goop clinging to his fingers, and put his hands on his hips.

The two mers stared at Ruggie like they were waiting for him to say something, sharp eyes gleaming in the dim lighting.

"Wait..." Ruggie looked back and forth between them and put his phone back in his pocket. "You're not..?"

"Not what?" Floyd asked, tilting his head to the side with an unplaceable expression.

"Didn't ya hear your own words? You... I thought you were..." Ruggie shook his head. "Nevermind."

Finn frowned at him for a moment, then his eyes widened.

"What-"

Floyd caught on soon after.

"Ohhh. Hah, what a dirty mind you have, sharksucker." He said with a grin. Finn was much more flustered.

"What? You think we were- on school grounds- I would never-" A sudden pause and he stared at Ruggie for a while.

"Why did you stand there and listen the whole time, then?"

"Haah, pervert!"

Ruggie's ears flattened once again when he realised this was not a situation where he would come out looking like the good guy.

"I can explain, I swear-"

...........................................

A/N: Some sharks have a thin mucus layer. Idk I like the idea of the twins suggesting Azul get squeezed for Vil's moisturiser and he just points at Finn and runs away. Anyways, I'm sorry for subjecting ya'll to this. I felt dirty writing it and it wasn't even smut 😭

[thegeminisage]

star trek update time! monday we did voy's "prey" and ds9's "honor among thieves" and last night we did voy's "retrospect" and ds9's "change of heart."

prey (voy):

man, i guess we really are just dealing with the hirogen for the rest of this season and possibly more huh...

like, theyre just not that interesting or scary? it's fun that they turn guys into little empty water balloons and all but that's really all they've got going for them

idk, voyager has a such a unique opportunity to do multiple cool "villain" aliens given the nature of their journey and they just keep coming up with duds. like at least romulans and klingons are cool, you know? the borg are cool. the kazon, vidiians, and hirogen have all kind of sucked. at least the vidiians had fun creep potential. they did wear that one guy's face.

however it gets a reluctant semi-pass from me because firstly the ethical debate was not so clear-cut - at first you were like yeah this alien is going bananas on our ship let this guy hunt it and then when he hunted it and it was so pathjetic and just wanted to go home you were like eeeh maybe just let it go home. not anything particularly deep, but still

and SECONLDY seven of nine and janeway's tension...fucking crackling. i don't like that janeway was so mean to her at the end and seven has a GREAT point that janeway is sort of afraid of who she's becoming (someone "cold") and wants her to become a more acceptable kind of person...man, the autism. anyway that scene was great. the rest of the episode kind of sucked though

honor among thieves (ds9):

the premise of this one is awfully shaky...like, starfleet can just order o'brien to do undercover work against his will? sure??

also, i know this bond was supposed to be more father/son but honestly they just played it like two byofriends falling in love. which was hilarious, but cannot sustain an episode

like. most of it was pretty boring. we didn't even get a good little vorta freak. i know they can't use weyoun bc he would have recognized o'brien instantly but also can we not find some other little freaky twink...we've done it before. come on

also, it was a fucking bummer. like he had to leave behind his cat and just die.

like it had very little substance or lasting impact...it wasn't even a good o'brien suffering episode. idk. surprising dud from ds9

retrospect (voy):

ooh when i tell you this episode made me mad.

i actually saw the summary on imdb, suspected it would be hinky, and then read the background info on memory alpha to get a better idea of what was gonna go down. i figured it would makle me really really REALLY mad and i was right but if i had sat thru that whole episode thinking seven had been raped or sorry metaphorically raped or whatever and then it turned out the aesop was about the danger of FALSE MEMORIES AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS i would have been beside myself

like sure yes false memories can and do happen and that's real bad. however, this whole episode was anti believe women. like, the emh looks like a stupid jackass for believing a woman. tuvok and janeway look smart for doubting and questioning her. etc etc

and then of course seven gets traumatized when she's ALREADY having a bad time/in trouble and then has to feel bad that this guy killed himself or whatever

and then on memory alpha it says they meant to leave it deliberately vague as to whether he assaulted her or not which 1. that didn't seem very vague, it seemed like seven was a silly little liar for believing the emh and the emh was fucking stupid for believing seven. and then poor uwu guy who killed himself 2. IS NOT EVEN A GREAT STAND-UP GUY. DID WE NOT SEE HIM SHOVE HER AND YELL AT HER. maybe if he shoved her he deserved to get his nose broken! lmao at how everyone wanted to two-sides that encounter as well when we clearly saw him get physical first 3 IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE VAGUE WHY DID EVERYONE AT THE END CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IT WAS FALSE like it's """left open""" but also the emh begs janeway to KILL HIM at the end so he can never fuck up this bad again?? it's not left vague, it's a fucking copout

whoever wrote this should be ashamed. they probably vote third party. fucking asshats. easily the worst in s4 so far and perhaps in the ranking for worst voyager episode so far

change of heart (ds9):

WAHHHH this one was so good

i've always thought worf and dax were cute but i was never INVESTED before this. you know?? now i'm invested. and i do unfortunately know how things go for jadzia in the futuire

i really thought worf would never leave her there but he DID and then he went back..........wah

AND!!!!!!!!!!!!! sisko had to yell at him about it officially but personally told him he did the right thing WAHHHH

i hope jadzia got the honeymoon of her fucking life later. jesus christ she's got him totally wrapped around her little finger. like the heart eyes he gives her...absolutely incredible

card game: i thot bashir was acting to put quark off guard. like he was pretending to be sad. but no. he really did get got.

hilarious also that quark continues to pine.......she really did break so many hearts huh. worf got sooo lucky

TONIGHT: we haven't decided yet, it's either voy's "killing game parts 1 & 2" or ds9's "wrongs darker than death or night" and "inquisition." i definitely know which of those I'M looking forward to most.

[haunted-plush]

LAST QUESTION I PROMISE if the answer to the previous ask is no then you're comfortable maybe I could ask if you got more nsfw headcanons of Matqueen? 👉🏻👈🏻 if you don't want to answer that here it's ok I'll understand, again the fic is great love it 10/10

Oooooo yesyesyesyes for SURE. I think about this a LOT because I'm a frisky little kitty lmao

Lightning: before he realized he's gay and while he's still living in the spotlight and dealing with substance abuse and depression, he went through women like used tissues. He had a new girlfriend every other week, and he pretty much treated sex with them like any other vice he used to escape from his own thoughts. It was never really fulfilling, and was never the kind of guy to look at their faces or groan out their names. Once it was over he was usually annoyed if they decided to stick around his house, but not enough to say anything.

After he spent the night with Mater [and his dick] he thought "yeah okay maybe I was doing it wrong" and honestly after that point he started to feel fulfilled by sex and find joy in it, exploring his kinks and preferences. He figured out from the very first time he had sex with Mater that he realllly liked being told he was doing a good job.

Yeah he's a praise kink haver for SURE. Tell him he's a good boy or anything along those lines and he's putty in your hands. He also learns that he gets a thrill from doing risqué activities in public, and having sex in semi public places, like when he grabbed Mater's hand while they were in the mall and rushed him to one of the stall bathrooms to suck his dick.

There's a weird state of mind he goes into sometimes where he like... gets stupid [there's a name for it but I don't remember what it is] when he gets horny and it's hard for him to form sentences and such, which for sure doesn't happen all the time but it definitely happens a lot [one time he was cockwarming Mater while they sat on the couch playing video games and his brain was MUSH and he kept losing lmao]

He's a sub for sure, [although not the subbiest sub to ever sub] but he doesn't always have to bottom. They like to mix it up with the positions and who's doing what. Anyway I've rambled enough about Lightning so now it's time for:

Mater: definitely charmed by Lightning's pretty boy nature and attitude from the start, and he was exited when Lightning went in for the kiss but confused when he ran away. He knew it was Lightning's first time bottoming so he tried to be gentle that night, which he was pretty good at all things considered. He would've been fine with being Lightning's one night stand just there to try out gay sex, but he was thrilled when it turned out he *did* want to keep being with him [hooray!!]

He gets flustered when Lightning flirts with him, Lightning will throw out a line at him and he has absolutely no idea what to say, going red and maybe pulling his hat down and shuffling his boot [it's adorable]. But when they're alone together he's *very* good at initiating, they'll be watching a movie together on the couch and he just puts a hand on Lightning’s thigh, and it's alllll over from that point lmao

They both get... *antsy* when they go a long time without seeing each other, which kind of happens a lot, and one time Mater didn't even know how badly he wanted to see him until they met up again after maybe a few months, they were at some kind of event so he still had to wait a little while, but the second he could he dragged McQueen’s ass to his truck and they got busy right there in the backseat.

Another way they like to try and bridge the distance between them when Lightning is away is for Lightning to call him on the phone, and usually the later and night the more horny the reason for calling lmao. Mater will talk to him and hear the cute sounds he makes as he listens to him getting off on his voice. He likes to picture him in his mind during those calls and likes how easily he can get him off without even being there

He doesn't ever call him, since he doesn't like to be a bother, but sometimes he goes through his phone for pictures of him. Most of the time he prefers physical photos, which he makes sure get taken while Lightning visits or when he visits him

Somehow they figured out that he's got a thing for being kidnapped, so there's that. Every once in a while they'll do the old tie-him-up-threaten-him-with-a-knife-ride-his-dick roleplay. It tends to be on the non-con side but they have safewords and make sure they're both all good afterward.

Speaking of, Mater is the KING of aftercare. This man will clean you up, offer you his clothes, his shower, anything you need, then spoon with you to your heart's content as you fall asleep. He will also cook you a delicious ass breakfast when you wake up... he's so loving and nice oh my god

Anyway I could go on and on but I've been yapping long enough... hope you liked the headcanons anon!!! X3

[panelshowsource]

yes on the 28th!! i'm excited because ALISON HAMMOND!!! every day i'm like whyyy do we not have her on more panel shows she is everything!

victoria spoke about it on her episode of taskmaster the podcast :)

all i know is she's been looking fly as ever — like always! but if she's changing things up a lil then good for her 😌

i would like to anon but they didn't rly have that many moments together on the show, like of substance that make a good gifset 😩 i did do these two! do you have another moment in mind?

omg YES LMAO

richard is so hilariously subtly shady, i love when someone makes the most wrong guess ever (usually during tablet games like the rich list and i'm terrible at dating) and richard does a very obvious scoff-chuckle and goes "yeah? [raises eyebrows knowingly] well [stifled laughter] you never know! let's see if that's right [stifled laughter]" like it just cracks me up — because somehow he's not smug at all despite being mr big brains and someone who teases others a lot

one thing i love about hog is how much richard loves hog — like, that's his baby, he loves doing that show, and he is so obviously having the most fun every single week, which makes it even more fun for us imo!

wow great question!

i have a lot of nostalgic love for comedy world cup — i love david tennant, he's so affable and very funny and a lovely host, and i think that format had legs even if it didn't make it in the end. also from around that time i remember liking mad mad world on itv, which was suddenly cancelled mid run? with paddy mcguinness, rhys darby, rufus hound... —

sorry to digress for a second but remember on some recent podcast ep when sam campbell was like "what's rufus hound up to" and i think it was ed gamble who laughed his ass off lmaooo i feel like there's rufus hound tea out there but idk what it is. anyways

— ...i would love to check it out again but i can't find it! i'll work on that 🤔 then, of course, you have been watching hosted by charlie brooker. it would not have been as strong a format if it wasn't for charlie writing the show and clearly having many topics & rants he wanted to go in for, but i loved that series and saw quite a few comedians/personalities, including vcm, josie long, holly walsh, and peter serafinowicz, there for the first time :')

looks like i had a lil trip down memory lane!

i think it's great! i'm not crazy about dylan llewellyn — i am not super into derry girls, and i felt, at times, his acting was lesser than the others' in a distracting way? is that just me? — but it hardly ruined the show or anything. the cast has GREAT chemistry and jon pointing is a standout (though he doesn't pass for his 20s at all lmao), and i love seeing izuka hoyle who i loved in boiling point and is so(!) gorgeous. tv comedy lives and dies on its editing, and big boys really understands its structure and its beats. i'd also say it strikes a rare balance in its absurdity and its sincerity, which is some of my favourite ever kind of film & tv. god, i just love sad boi comedy. or sad anything. i'm a "let's watch this and cry🤩" kind of person no matter my mood LOL

btw did you see victoria coren mitchell also loved big boys?

sure anon i put it on google drive here :)

i'm not going to host this one but you can request it here and someone will definitely have it to share with you asap! sorry for the inconvenience but lmk if you have any questions :)

[kowaindar0u]

watching this video and thinking about idol au again omg ...

I think I really like the idea of yuichi being in a group (as opposed to a non-idol, though i still think he would've been recruited while doing some other behind-the-scenes job) and thinking he would be the type to secretly write & compose songs...

He might even be quite good at it. like ... shit I'm getting emotional thinking about it but ... He already writes in his diary a lot, so imagine him taking that kind of emotion and putting it into a song...

He'd write songs about anxieties, hopelessness at times, breaking down... songs he would describe as "the kind of atmosphere/surroundings i wish to have when I'm overwhelmed"... songs that just really talk about things he struggles to actually talk about ;_; ... songs for his friends...

(a song about appreciating his fellow group members, a song about a certain friend from another group with lyrics like "we don't have to say much and we're happy")

maybe at some point he surprises everyone with like. a straight-up angry song and even his close friends are like "i didn't even know you could get angry" lol

also circling back around to how he became an idol, he'd get recruited a relatively short time before debuting maybe compared to his other members, and so maybe he'd feel/actually be judged/resented about it and knows he needs to really prove he deserves to debut with them, so he'd practice and work on himself constantly ... it sounds miserable and probably kind of is but I think he would never have gone into all this or agreed to start training at all without having other people relying on him...

and oh man... i imagine his stage fright would never actually go away (again it's easier when he has members with him) but god... the first time he'd step on a stage he would be a mess like they'd look back at their debut performance especially and see him like shaking/clearly about to cry the whole time but still able to see he's giving his damned best... like he doesn't perform it well necessarily that day but it's something the members and fans look back on with a kind of endearment, especially as he gets a bit more confident onstage as they go

idk who he'd be in a group with or what kind of sound they'd have but i think whatever it is would have a lot of dramatic atmospheric type stuff (idk if that really suits him or if that's just what i like LOL but) ... like i can't imagine him really thriving well in a Poppy pop group without a lot of deeper substance (?), if not for personality/vibe reasons then because he's just got kind of a very unimpressed resting face LOL

also. can you fucking imagine. i imagine yuichi still keeping his eye covered most of the time LMAO so he'd be one member where like. one video he's got his hair parted a different way or pulled back somehow and the fans go INSANE because they get BOTH EYES

[speculative (?) gender stuff below the cut cause my brain said What If]

also i'm thinking ... maybe depending on how old yuichi is when stuff happens ... an Interesting angle ...

i know this is obviously Very Unlikely irl for several reasons but this is alternate universe of fiction so .

1 ) maybe he discloses to his company upon being recruited that he's trans like "i didn't say anything when i worked here as [whatever he did before, maybe stylist help] because i need Job but i don't think i can go in front of People being misgendered i would not survive" so they help him transition (yet another driving factor for his hard work afterwards) before debut ...

OR ...

2 ) maybe he initially debuted in a girl group that didn't really pan out, and after disbandment he Transed his Gender and re-debuted in a boy group...

Inch Resting ....

in 2, i think like...obviously his time in that first group would have been ... really REALLY hard, fucking miserable, not only for dysphoria reasons but because the group just could not find success-- perhaps their company was shitty-- but i think he wouldn't hold any disdain for like... fans of that group, those members, and the songs they performed together? like he'd still be friends with them if they wanted, and he'd even do reunion perfromances with them omg lol ...

okay actually i like this concept. and maybe after the first group fails he does go back to being a "civilian" and then 1 happens and ... !!

yuichi my beloved

idol yuichi i stan u

[dogwittaablog]

not him replying to that onlyfans girl saying “ya” he would date her. Bruh what… do u think he would have seriously dated Paige Lorenze if she remained interested? I mean he still liked her thirst traps for awhile even after their mutual follow so I’m assuming she was the one to cut off their talking stage. I don’t remember who followed who first so pls remind me. Give me your thoughts on Paige Lorenze!! And her friend Emma macdonald ik they were hardcore trying to get with hockey guys before they switched to other sports. Crazy how some girls only want to be wags no matter the sport like what is this obsession with being a wag I don’t get it

I am not too sure if they even followed one another? I don't recall I wasn't around to witness it but by the seams of it through online sleuthing, it doesn't seem like they followed one another or if they didn't think it lasted long. I don't think anything went down between them, maybe some DM's exchanged but that's about it, I'm pre sure she got back with her ex or moved on right after to another guy when this was all going down, so NP was clearly not her only option.

Thoughts on Paige Lorenze and Emma Macdonald... yeah I definetly am not a fan of those kind of white girls that are clearly look obsessed, dont have much substance and are overall fake, that whole mean girl vibes radiate in both of them pretty clear. Paige Lorenze comes off intolerable but Emma is 10x worse. They're probably only "friends" with one another because they know collectively a lot of people don't like them and run back to being "besties" every 6 months when their other friendships fail.

I've always found it amusing how Emma was obsessed and hung up on Trevor Zegras for the longest time and was always trying to allude to the fact they were talking/hooking up. TZ I understand has a charming persona to him... but really babe? LOL. Her voice and the way she speaks genuinely makes me want to shoot myself in the head in all honesty. Her accepting the fact that she was never going to be cuffed by him to then start a relationship months later with an NBA player to then get engaged very shortly after is something I wouldn't say super surprising but just crazy. Those girls would do anything for any sort of WAG title and lifestyle.

This is the comment referencing NP and her were hooking up lol. As mentioned before I don't think it happened.

Eh if I recall properly Paige was actually the one to initiate first by liking one of his ig pics. NP has liked some of her pics over the years but I dont think he was running up her profile like crazy with liking and wanting her attention at the time, his ego definitely went up to the moon knowing someone like her was interested in him. Unsure if they were mutual at a point, but wouldn’t be surprised if they just followed one another for a couple hours lmao.

I remember watching someone do a video analysis of there body language and it was actually funny af and seems pretty accurate to her character… she evidently cares more about how she looks and getting a good ig pic more than her man winning a title. She’s like an overly calculated content robot 💀

*found it*

Edit: I think he would've been down to date her for sure but at the same time I cannot see him actually manage and be able to maintain a girl like that, and I don't really feel like he's the kind of person who'd be able to handle someone trying to film and make content all the time, especially when it involves him lol.

[anthroparis]

no hard feelings was soooo bad no one watch it. for what it is, it is NOT funny or crazy or even heartfelt enough to sell the premise (32 year old woman gets paid by a rich couple to groom their 19 year old son). I think a comedy like that can work, given that the concept is treated as ridiculously as it felt to watch, but the tonal inconsistency is such a killer of anything of substance.

I told wolfgang that it was just confusing. I didn't know what kind of message the writer was trying to convey- did they want us to root for the protagonists? despise them? feel uncomfortable? I'm seeing grown women defending this weird ass movie on the grounds that "well people in the movie SAY the age gap and sexual coercion are bad so it's okay!" like no the fuck it's not lmao. this is some scott pilgrim tier arguing. there's never anything that really indicates that the relationship is odd besides people making jokes that jennifer lawrence is old. it's played for laughs and there's no consequences for it.

there is no balance between the serious aspects and the funny ones, and I really just kind of sat there wondering "what am I supposed to be doing" the entire time. not a single joke landed for me. it was painfully unfunny, which made the experience even more unpleasant.

it teeters right on the line between "wacky immoral out-there comedy" a la adam sandler, and "heartwarming romcom" and these themes do nooooot mix well. it's almost like you can tell they're holding back on the jokes and upping the drama, which, for a movie that is about a 32 year old trying to fuck a teenager, NOT GREAT!

the emotional core to the story left a lot to be desired, too. I liked lawrence's character enough to care about her backstory, which was hardly developed and really kind of rushed in all regards. same with the kid. the pacing was honestly just shot all around, the supporting cast was bland and had nothing to do, and it just kind of felt like a nothing movie. characters are introduced and then are never mentioned again. the jokes feel restrained and watered down. there's zero-sum chemistry between ANY of the actors and the emotional moments are so painfully hamfisted and soulless it was like watching a kleenex commercial. the overall weird pushy sexual coercion wasn't framed in any way outside of uncomfortable. it was hard to watch.

probably one of the worst "comedies" to come out in a few years. 1/10. do not fucking watch this.

[lemonhemlock]

Just here to say that I really liked your analysis of Oppenheimer. It is seriously one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen and hated almost every minute of it. Nevertheless, it's apparently forbidden to be critical of the newest Nolan's masterpiece 🙄(f*ck you Academy) because if you dare to say anything negative about the movie, then it must be becauseyou have a short attention span, a low IQ, or you are simply an empty-headed Marvel fanboy. The usual elitist bullshit I hate even more that the movie itself lmao. The Oscars didn't help either (again, f*ck you Academy).

Anyway, it's good to know that someone agrees with me because with all the praise the movie has received recently I was tempted to start questioning my sanity.

Thank you for being a lighthouse of reason in this sea of cringe pretense, anon! It's a glorified Wikipedia entry with collage editing that befits a PowerPoint presentation. Beyond the insulting attempts at characterization (main character included, there's no point in even trying to discuss the few female characters), the horrendous pacing, the awful sound editing, the mediocre cinematography(!), the convoluted plot, the thematic incoherence, I am so tired of filmmakers chickening out of saying anything of substance and passing off their vague explorations as deep artistic exercises or as being "open to interpretation". A text having multiple interpretations is valid and proof of creative richness, of course, but the author has to have a thesis to convey in the first place!

And, certainly, beyond all of that, it excludes the perspective of the actual victims of the bombing to the extent that it shows nothing about them. The Native Americans on whose land these mass-destruction experiments were conducted are also an afterthought. Yet again a movie that prioritizes the heroic* white man in a weak attempt to deconstruct him. In 2023? We needed another movie like this? I can close my eyes and pick a Tom Hanks film at random and it would be the same viewing experience (most likely with better pacing and editing).

*heroic in the sense that he combats adversity through his own powers and qualities; I'm so bored of the milquetoast "critique" of Oppenheimer not being a ~hero because he feels kind of sad on screen for what he's created. miranda_priestly_groundbreaking.gif.

[pink-strawberry-kissess]

I was reading your post about Stephanie and she did kind of strike me as a 3rd wheel in that interview with Nicole and Matt. Also her saying Leon is always going after women that don't want him had me eye-rolling wondering if she was including Ada in there. She just strikes me as a little shady especially with inserting that scene of Claire falling on top of Leon in "Infinite Darkness". (Not trying to stir the pot but just had some thoughts I had really)

spoilers for death island + general fandom nonsense

i (along with a lot of other people in re fandom) have had an aversion to her (stephanie) for a long time, but we could never place what it was about her that we didn't like

then it was like a flip was switched when we all saw that interview.

she's a pick me

it's the way she constantly talks down ada and uplifts leon in such a pick me way that it makes it irritating to listen to her misinterpret and mischaracterize the characters.

a lot of ex claire stans also really dislike stephanie's (and i guess in turn capcom's) recent characterization of claire. they've reduced her down to this weird good girl mary sue type of character (but she swears and has a gun) but has like very little substance to her. (which i've argued is a perfect self insert)

i see a lot of praise for re2r omg she was only 19!!! and she can fight!!! and she's more capable than leon1!!! (ISN'T THAT WEIRD. WHY DOES SHE HAVE THIS WEIRD OVERPOWERED CHARACTERIZATION)

IT'S BAD WRITING IMO

i also saw stephanie characterizing claire in this self sacrificing way in this really elementary understanding of character arcs- "like if claire were to sacrifice herself that would be so pivotal in her character arc...." no??? if anything it's fairly predictable and meaningless??? claire has barely any foils or flaws to her character. she's written consistently to go after a man (her brother) and has very little flaws or anything of substance. SURE SHE'S COOL.... WHAT ELSE.

(YOU CAN LIKE CHARACTERS LIKE THESE, IT'S FINE. I ALSO LIKE CHARACTERS THAT ARE KINDA BLAND. NO SORRY THAT'S A LIE LOL I DON'T)

this wouldn't apply to leon as he has been seen to have some sort of personal desire (ada) and to see him sacrifice himself would mean more as he never would end up getting what he would've wanted. but he would be maybe content knowing that he saved someone- but it's more interesting to theorize if it would really make him happy. this also goes into death island and how "friendship" seems to be making him happy lol (but at the same time i don't see the group actively hanging out lmao)

honestly at this point i rarely think of claire until someone brings her up. she's such a non character to me, like what is there to like?? and that's not even touching on how a lot of her stans take active time to compare her and ada and to trash ada.

i think that it can be wonderful to like good moral characters. i think it's GOOD to want to be like good characters. But people in real life aren't like that. and to talk about claire like she actually has some substance is just odd. if MAYBE claire had more going on, i'd think more of her. but yeah

stephanie just fundamentally does not understand the re characters and seem to just be profiting on the fact that her "career" can have some face time. (which honestly good for her, get that bag) but at the same time, it just seems shady and weird. she never struck me as someone genuine (based on the few interviews and videos and articles i've seen from her) (the article where she basically just teased the cleon fans??? and then basically said ahahah but your ship is dead nehneheneh WAS FUCKING WEIRD AND RUDE TO CLEON FANS???- ALSO OBVIOUSLY I'M PARAPHRASING)

you can't tell me that in that interview (with matt and nicole), that she was supposed to be there. it just seemed like she just decided to crash it. and both nicole and matt aren't confrontational people (which other people would def take advantage of, same with nick imo)

edit: i forgot to mention and this is def stirring the pot so i get that- but i find it interesting how re cast don't seem to talk/hang out with stephanie unless necessary (press etc) something to think about is all

[tussive]

Something stupid about me is I just kind of inherently respect people who have insane levels of dedications to things. I think probably because I've never been that dedicated to anything and I do envy it in a way.

But I'm reading this thread of Bluelight and I don't want to go into too much detail about the drug information/chemistry involved, because it's not really important, I do want to kind of explain because I think the level to which he's dedicating himself to achieve what he's achieving kind of helps make my point that I'm stupid, lmao. So in its pure HCl form, MDPV is a white powder. When it first came onto the RC, this is how it was available. At some point however someone came out with a tan MDPV, which produced significantly different effects. The white MDPV is prone to causing paranoia, hallucinations, is very tweaky and compulsive and has a terrible comedown. The tan MDPV is a smooth, euphoric ride that is apparently so hypersexual many people would refer to it as "perv powder." Nobody is actually sure what the difference is, however part of the process involves freebasing it. But that isn't the whole process, it is also necessary to leave the resulting oil in water for extended periods of time, during which people assume the MDPV degrades and some impurity results which is the actual source of the desired effects. This man is fucking dedicated to understanding how to produce the tan MDPV. He has done countless experiments on doing so and at one point details the various ways that he has been harmed even in doing these experiments.

"Now---- I haven't tasted this stuff. Over the past two years I have played with mdpv using ether, tuloene, xylene, baking soda, galacial acetate, vinegar, water, ethanol and dirt from my garden(the bacterial connection). I have precipitated, heated, frozen, incubated, dissolved, evaporated, combined and separated every possible combination of precipitate, solution and oil. In the process I have come up with substances that were less than enjoyable to ingest. I am my only test subject for these experiments. I temporarily blinded myself for three hours after drying and ingesting a brown goo that appeared after five days of incubating an odd gray precipitate after an ether/acetate experiment with pv. I once ended up with a dark brown substance that looked similar to the darker tan pv versions. It gave me an incapacitating headache that lasted 4 days. I had overheated the pv oil during precipitation and created something horrible. I got PV oil on my skin and didn't sleep for 72 hours, during which time hellish visual and auditory hallucinations had me locked in the bathroom where I hid in the bathtub for 30 hours. My first hit of the acetate salt that I created from the tan had me hallucinating again for a few days. I had not considered that the salt version of the tan freebase might have dosages measured in micrograms. I should have guessed from the huge residual slush left over from the Acetic Acid wash. But I didn't. I bumped 3 milligrams. 300 micrograms is a large dose.

What I'm saying is that my body is barely being held together, and what little cohesion is left is the result of vitamins and pure will power. So I just don't have the courage to go down the acetate road. The HCL road has used me up."

(He is essentially explaining that when converted into acetate salt of MDPV, the result is extremely promising for the desired effects, however he has had so many horrible side effects just from experimenting with the HCl he no longer has it in him to attempt new experiments with the acetate. That may be obvious from the quote but I feel like out of context it may not be entirely clear.)

Now, he's gone to such extreme efforts and put himself through so much suffering and for what? He only uses drugs to enhance sex. He's doing this just so he can fucking goon for hours and jack his stupid dick and it's all just kind of pathetic through that lens, raelly. In terms of motivations I have absolutely zero respect for him or his efforts.

But when I read that quote about the things he has put himself through to achieve his goals, I can't help but feel like he's kind of cool. Even though he very much is not.

[fox-buried-in-maple-leaves]

and 26 to 50 for iceheart's aria

Ask Game

Do any of them have bad habits that the other can’t stand?

Honoré doesn't like Harper's habit of internalizing his feelings, especially if its in response to Honoré's feelings. Who is more down to earth?

Harper, absolutely. Are they affectionate in public? Is it too much?

Not supremely, mainly cause Honoré is a little bit shy about PDA and because Harper is an idol and all. How are they affectionate in private?

Very lovey dovey in private. Honoré is incredibly touchy once the public's eye is turned away. Cuddles, kisses, hugs, (redacted). Just the whole nine yards. How does your OC react to being broken up with?

"You.. Wish to bre.. bre.. you're.. leaving me..?" He's not surprised, not really, Honoré is a very broken man with a very messy past. He's hard to handle, and his problems are hard to face. But god does it hurt.. He left WS for him.. Abandoned everything he knew, for him.. Even Tesla can't get him out of his lab for the next month. He considers going back, its the only other home he knows. Do they fall in love easily?

Not at all. He loved the same person for one thousand some years. Your character is in love, do they confess? If not, how long do they wait?

Honoré prefers to wait, test the waters, make sure Harper loves him too. He's so afraid of being rejected, or worse, used again. He can't do that again. Who was the first to say ‘I love you’?

I forgor... Who is more stubborn?

Harper. What moment did they realise that they were in love?

When Harper didn't judge him for being unable to stand properly in the bar after ingesting too many substances. When Harper hooked his arm around him and helped him to his shitty shoebox apartment. When Harper didn't leave him alone, staying to take care of him. Even as he cried about previously being something more. How long have they been friends? Would they consider each other best friends?

Ah yes, love at first one night stand. So yeah, not friends for all that long before they get together. But they become best friends very quickly. Harper is the first person Honoré tells everything to. How did they become friends?

Honoré was tasked with collecting intel on AE and any other targets of interest in the area. This included Harper. Their meeting was a tad more purposeful than Honoré would like to admit. Who’s more ticklish?

Honoré isn't at all ticklish so maybe Harper? Idk. If your OCs has/had a child, who would be the stricter parent?

Honoré probably. But I don't think they'd ever have kids. What do they do when they miss one another? Is one more needy than the other/s?

So uh Honoré will cuddle Harper's pillow or smell his shampoo and then maybe cry a little bit. He's not outwardly needy except for when it gets late and he's feeling particularly lonely. What green flags do they have for one another?

Kind,, charismatic, listens to him, kind... patient. Have they ever been jealous?

Honoré is an insanely jealous person which.. you're poly... dude come on.. he's more jealous than he should be. He got it from Kevin. Is one more introverted/extroverted than the other?

Honoré introvert x Harper extrovert. Who’s the better cook?

Harper lol.. But Honoré is really trying to learn for him!! Are they good at comforting one another? Does someone hide their feelings usually?

Honoré tends to hide his feelings because its just easier. Would they have been friends with each other in school?

Became friends during a school project imo. Who made the first move?

Harper did. Bought him a drink, brought him home~ Do they get on well with each other’s family? Is family important to them?

Well you see the thing about that- Do they tease each other? What about?

Anything and everything, Honoré is such a bully sometimes lmao, sorry Harper. Is there anything that scares them about their friendship/relationship?

Well one is a warrior destined to protect humanity, one keeps getting dragged back into it. Just surviving is so uncertain. And that's scary.

comme des garçons (like the boys) by rina sawayama

i'm on fire by bruce springsteen

make out by julia nunes

heaven is a place on earth by belinda carlisle

cherry by fletcher (feat. hayley kiyoko)

Cherry Hello, nice to meet you, my name's Cari We should rendezvous sometime, mon chéri I want you on top of me like cherry Cherry, uh, uh

Mal is a really flirty person and I wanted this playlist to reflect that side of her! This song is just cute and funny and obv very flirty and I don't know if she would call someone mon cheri but maybe she would LMAO. Also this is just an amazing collab so

2. pretty girls by renee rapp

In the p.m., all the pretty girls They have a couple drinks, all the pretty girls So now they wanna kiss all the pretty girls They got to have a taste of a pretty girl

So this is another flirty song but it's also specifically about being with someone who's still kind of figuring out their sexuality and I feel like Mal has probably caused a queer awakening or two in her time whether she is aware of it or if that person was just watching from afar LOL

3. what i want by muna

I want the full effects, I wanna hit it hard I wanna dance in the middle of a gay bar Ooh oh oh, that's what I want There's nothing wrong with what I want Yeah, yeah

This song is sooo fun and it's just about not being ashamed of your desires and going out and having a good time! Whether that's sharing some ~substances with your friends or hooking up or whatever. Mal is very confident and goes for what she wants regardless of the gossip and we love that for her.

4. comme des garçons (like the boys) by rina sawayama

Comme des garçons (comme des garçons) Like the boys, like the boys Comme des garçons I'm so confident

Speaking of confidence! This song I think is about like being confident in yourself and like basically being a bad bitch because plenty of men do that all the time so why not me lol. But I also wanted to put it on here as a sort of tribute to Mal's masc energy, and idk I just think this song has queer rizz

5. i'm on fire by bruce springsteen

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you? And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no I can take you higher Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire

I put this song on here because Mal is a firefighter obviouslysakljdfhs okay but also imagine Mal singing this song at karaoke. Idk it just works. Are you picking up what I'm putting down. I see it so clearly. I don't have anything else to say about this just go with it.

6. make out by julia nunes

Kiss me in the doorway Always on your way out I'm trying to make you stay So we can make out

Another flirty song look it's a playlist with a theme! This song is just cute and fun and idk I'm sure Mal has a different work schedule from a lot of people being a firefighter and all. I always got queer vibes from this song I have absolutely no idea why but yeah

7. Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth? Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth They say in Heaven, love comes first We'll make Heaven a place on Earth Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

We've all seen that Black Mirror episode, right? Idk lol also I just didn't want Bruce to be the only song from like the 80s on this playlist I wanted to give him some contemporaries. And yeah this is pretty straightforward I mean I don't think Mal is looking for like ~~committed relationship~~ love right now but I think there are many ways of expressing love and many kinds of love and yeah

8. kiss me more by doja cat (feat SZA)

It's just principle Baby, hold me 'Cause I like the way you groove, oh, oh

I put this on here in honor of the Mallora thread that's currently happening ok I joke but this is a bop. Sorry I feel like I'm starting to get repetitive here but you know what I'm going for. Who else can see Mal busting a move to this song in Pixie's??

9. lipstick lover by janelle monet

10. hot to go! by chappell roan

What's it take to get your number? What's it take to bring you home? Hurry up, it's time for supper, order up, I'm hot to go!

And finally the inspiration behind the playlist! This song is also here because of firefighter references jkjk it is just a truly perfect song it's so fun and it's BOLD and that's Mal in a nutshell she is not shy she just goes for it!! it's like 199 degrees indeed!!!

not to mention, bryan saying that doesn't confirm anything. father figure or even mentor doesn't mean dad. he could very well just be implying hank is a friend who connor looks to for guidance. nothing he said proves anything.

in the same vein, clancy brown is on record saying he does not think hank and connor have a father/son relationship, and as far as i know, david cage didn't say anything about them being "father and son" until like a year after the game came out because he's a homophobic piece of shit and just wanted to say something to reaffirm that. so who do we believe in the end?

all that is to say, anything said outside of the games is never really going to be canon, because it's not in the game. bryan has no real say here, and neither does clancy or even cage himself outside of the facts stated in the game, and we need to stop running to actors or whoever else to prove that our interpretation of the media is the correct one. just vibe with your own interpretation and be happy with that. tho, i will agree that connor absolutely can see hank as a mentor figure while he's trying to sort his shit out post-revolution. but that doesn't change the fact that connor is an ageless android made to look like and programmed to basically be a late 20s/early 30s man. not a child. he needs some help getting on his feet, as do all androids, but that doesn't mean he needs a father. you could certainly see it that way if it weren't for the fact that hank "adopting" connor as his son goes against his entire established character in the game. AU it, sure, but don't you dare call it canon. i certainly don't think hankcon is canon. i just like the ship.

i'm kind of a stickler for keeping canon and fanon very distinct and separate from each other, but when it comes to ships that were just never going to happen anyways, both because of the industry as a whole and because of david cage himself, hankcon being canon doesn't really matter to me. it's just the fact that their canon characters work so well in an interdependent relationship, and i personally think it's beautiful to see it blossom into something romantic that makes them grow and flourish as two adult men who are otherwise lost in life without the other.

if you watch bryan's dbh streams, you can see he is very uncomfortable with all the people in the comments basically screaming at him to PROVE hank is connor's dad (and the hankcon fans who can't keep their mouth shut and start fights (uh oh it that me rn? 😅)), because i truly believe he doesn't see it that way, nor do i think he thinks they're a couple. canonically, in the game, the most they ever are is close friends. trauma-bonded besties lmao. and you can see that bryan chooses his words very carefully and meticulously these days to not indicate anything other than that (like in the scene at the bridge where connor is talking to hank on the bench, and bryan very carefully explains he sees the scene as a friend checking up on a friend with substance abuse), because he both doesn't agree with one "side" and also knows leaning toward one side of this huge gap between his fans would make things explode in such a horrible way. leave the man alone. he aint sayin shit, he aint on any "side," he has no real power to dictate what is or isn't canon especially for a character that can be played in so many different ways and interpreted in even more, none of us are "correct" in the sense that our views on their relationship is canon, unless we just see them as enemies or friends, as we see in the canonical endings of the game. and that's it.

bryan confirming that hank is connor’s father figure
