ash's september 2024 reading round up

find all the books and fics i read (or didn't read...) this month under the cut with a link to the synopsis and my reviews/ratings attached :)

this is just for fun! i'm not a professional, i just like to read <3

booklist:

Summer Reading by Jenn McKinlay(18+!)

• review: this was a solid read. nothing incredible, but definitely better than some of the other crap i've read this year lol. i enjoyed the dynamic between the fmc - a dyslexic chef named sam - and the mmc - a librarian named ben - and the interesting relationship between someone who hates to read and someone who's life revolves around books. honestly i was really interested to see how this played out between the two of them, but like one week into them fooling around he begins to read a book aloud to her and the conflict is magically solved. sam just loves audiobooks now and i wish the author had done more with that. both sam and ben have goals they're striving to reach and i love that ben is able to see his through to the end, but the reader is kind of left wondering about sam's and i would have loved for that threat to have been tied up, but overall this was a cute read. my only real issue with this story was the quality of writing. there were some parts that were super cringe and were clearly written by a millennial emulating the 'how do you do fellow kids' meme that i could've gone without... anyway. i really enjoyed the relationship exploration between sam and her budding teenager brother. after not being in each others lives for a bit, i thought their bonding over the summer was adorable :) would've loved to read a book just about them tbh. neither of the main characters were the kinds of characters to write home about, but overall i did enjoy the progression of their relationship. just kind of a middle-ground novel.

• rating: 3/5 seasons of the bear that taught me all i know about cooking

𝕆𝕗𝕗𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔹𝕠𝕨𝕝𝕤

Today, while discussing my goddesses and practices with my best friend, I was inspired by her decision to follow a path of devotion to the Celtic goddess of war, death, and fate, Morrigan. Her enthusiasm motivated me to finally take action and make a devotional offering to my goddesses, after a long period of personal healing.

Usually, I place offerings for Aphrodite directly on her altar. However, I haven’t been able to create a proper altar for Hel*, so I decided on an alternative approach: offering bowls.

So, without further ado, I present my offering bowls! I’ll be color-coding sections to help you easily find the important information through my ramblings.

[Content Warning: Mentions of real animal bones, blood.]

Let’s start with Hel’s offering bowl. In my digital journal, I mentioned/found that it’s best to leave food offerings until they are completely rotted away. Once that happens, all non-perishable items will be thoroughly washed and returned to Hel for devotional purposes. Any perishable remnants will be buried and returned to the earth.

What’s Inside Hel’s Offering Bowl?

Let’s begin with the more unusual items:

- Animal bones and a small vial of my own dried blood.

This might sound intense, but everything was ethically collected. The dried blood comes from a series of stress nosebleeds I had during a difficult time in my life. Offering blood to Hel is said to be a way for her to accept your pain and sorrow, so it felt fitting to include this little bottle of ground dried blood. The small animal bones are from a poultry dinner I had years ago. Initially, I saved them for work with another deity, but it turns out Hel was the one calling to me.

Now, for the rest of the offerings: In the bowl, there’s a Viking apple from my local orchard, honoring "Hel’s Orchard." There are also chunks of black obsidian and rainbow moonstone. Along with these, I’ve included crushed dried rose petals, dried yarrow buds, and dried rosebuds. To complete the offering, I added a black chime candle and a stick of myrrh incense.

Next is Aphrodite’s Offering Bowl.

For her, I’ll be removing the apple at the first sign of rot or decay—I like to keep her offerings as neat and beautiful as she is.

What’s Inside Aphrodite’s Offering Bowl?

Not to quote a popular meme, but compared to Hel’s bowl, Aphrodite’s is very mindful and demure.

Her bowl contains crushed dried rose petals and dried rosebuds, complemented by a scoop of crushed basil and a few sticks of cinnamon. There is a small collection of shells, including an “aura” shell*. Alongside the shells, I placed a chunk of rose quartz, a heart-shaped rose quartz, and a piece of angel aura quartz.

She was also given a Viking apple from my local orchard, as the apple is one of Aphrodite’s sacred fruits. To finish, I included a pink chime candle and a stick of myrrh incense.

Closing Thoughts

I found so much joy in creating these offering bowls, and I encourage you to try making one for your own deity—I’m sure they would appreciate it.

One last note: While assembling these bowls, I noticed a good few similarities in the offerings for both goddesses, which I found fascinating! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading through this, and thank you for taking the time to read my little post about the goddesses I am devoted to.

* For now, I have a mini or travel-sized altar for Hel in an old mint tin until I can create a proper altar.

* When I refer to “aura,” I'm talking about a treatment used on quartz, where platinum and silver are bonded with pure quartz to create “angel aura quartz,” which has a similar effect.

fic stats meme

rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

thaaaank you @x-populuxe :3 i have a vague idea of what each of these would be but i hope to be right so let's go

most hits: steve's counseling service (24,467) which is, iirc, a fic i wrote as soon as i finished stranger things season 3. it's about steve giving advice to el and max, who are both trying to ask the other out. it's also the fic with most kudos lol

second most kudos: diluc's terrible, horrible, not good, very bad parenthood (1,640 kudos) which is a short, two-chaptered story about how in a very unlucky night, bennett meets the darknight hero who takes him under his wing very reluctantly.

third most comments: you attack my heart (51 comments). it's an akeshu fic where they all go to shujin, based on that one art of akechi with the shujin uniform. akira is a new student and unfortunately for akechi and his buds he gets very obsessed with him.

fourth most bookmarks: switching (385 bookmarks), spiderverse, miguel and miles attempt to talk about peter b in spanish. it's a little hard on miles' end.

fifth most words: family quality time (9k words). magneto invites wanda, pietro, and lorna to go on a trip with him. he tries very hard to make up with the three of them. they all bond over having mental illness and taking medication for it.

fewest words: partings (811 words). set during the scene in neo twewy where joshua sends back neku to the ug, they have a slightly longer goodbye in which neku wonders if joshua is truly happy.

i lied i only knew the answer to the first two and i only guessed it. bitches write for anything that comes to mind (im bitches) none of these fics overlap in fandoms lmao.. anyway. if you want to look at numbers too you should do it bc i dont know who to tag. thank you populuxe!!! :3

[glorified-red]

What do you think about people who enjoy fandom surface? Like, knowing enough to laugh at memes, appreciating fanart, reading fanfics about characters they like, etc. But don't really know many details?

Fun question, and surprisingly controversial for some reason

Honestly, I think that's the purest form of fandom engagement and it should be protected at all costs. I have fully read fanfics over 100k words with no idea who the characters were and read it just like a regular novel. I remember telling the author that and it blew their mind that someone could enjoy their work not from a fandom lens, but from a creative one. I enjoyed the fic because the writing was phenomenal AND I got to support them.

I reblog art all the time with no clue who they are. I go to conventions and buy art from booths having no fucking idea who is drawn. I even talked to my favorite artist and admitted I was worried about buying some of their art because I knew it was Genshin Impact and I've never played it, let alone know anything about it.

Seeing the gradual sadness in her eyes was something I will never forget. I bought every Genshin Impact print she sold and to this day, it is the most gorgeous art I own. I treated it as nothing more than art, because at the end of the day that's what it is. I got to support that small artist and that's more than enough of a reason for me to buy it.

Heck, I never would've gotten this deep into the Batfam if I hadn't first started surface level. We all have to start somewhere. Plus, I think fandom is starting to get more and more gatekeep-y and it's really annoying to see.

Let people enjoy things!

Fandom only exists because of voluntary participation. If we keep gatekeeping it or shunning those who participate, fandom will slowly die out.

It's okay to be a surface level enjoyer. Hell, I go to concerts only knowing one song. I buy band tshirts from bands I only really like three songs they've ever made but those three songs bring me joy. I buy pop toys of characters I just think look cool.

Plus, conversation starters?? You know how fun it is to wear a shirt and have someone comment on it and then getting to learn from them a little bit? The "I love this song" and "I like this one! Listen to it sometime?"

The bonding is so pure. I think humans just love to love things for the sake of loving them and it's adorable.

Sometimes I get caught in the gatekeeper track of "wow, how dare you say you're a fan of you've never XYZ" but then I step back and realize how stupid that is.

Just let people enjoy things, fandom included. I went to a hockey game once?? Dude, that was the most fun I've ever had. Do I know ANYTHING about hockey or the teams playing? Absolutely not. Did I have a blast?? Hell yea.

We have the most fun in life when we stop giving a shit about other people's opinions. Just have fun, whatever that looks like for you.

And if that's knowing every single fact about one fandom and collecting everything there is to buy? Go ham, bud. I'll support it.

But if that's also reblogging a fic because the writing was cool, awesome! Sounds like a good read!

Just have fun :)

hiii! 1, 17 and 35 for the writer ask meme? 💕

Hey 😊

well, my answer could be long. Let's try.

1. Tell us about your WIP!

Not sure which one you mean tbh. I'm currently posting a fic I already finished as a WIP and it's called Spinning out, waiting for ya. But since it's already finished and already almost completely uploaded, I'll just talk about the one I'm currently writing.

I lovingly call it "the beast", because it's very complex and unusually long for me. The actual name will be "Fragments of Forgotten Lives" and I hope to finish it soon (like in a couple of weeks).

It's inspired by a tweet, but I realised that I mixed it up, because I just changed the roles.

What I think is special about the story is that I write a fitting poem for the start of every chapter. TBH sometimes the poem takes as much time as writing the whole chapter.

After my last one, this story is definitely darker, more angsty and intense again. I love writing it and I really hope the readers will love it as well...

I haven't finished my summary yet, but I already have a draft on it. I'm still not happy with the summary (especially with the beginning), but I'll just drop what I have here:

A poignant tale of rediscovery and resilience unfolds as Louis, a young man with a lost past, navigates the complexities of his fragmented memories. After a year of inexplicable absence following a tragic family accident, Louis returns with no recollection of who he is or where he's been. Settling into a new life in Manchester, he finds solace in therapy and a budding relationship with a fellow survivor.

His world shifts when Harry, an old friend from a forgotten past, recognises him on the streets. Despite Louis' amnesia, an unshakable bond between them sparks a journey to reclaim lost memories. As Louis' suppressed memories resurface through haunting nightmares, he clings to the newfound safety he feels in Harry's presence. Together, they piece together the puzzle of Louis' past, unveiling deep connections and heartfelt truths.

17. What things (scenes/topics/character types) are you most comfortable writing?

I bet it sounds strange but I love to describe strong emotions, especially anxiety and panic attacks. It comes natural to me since I have endured it for years.

In general I enjoy writing angsty stories with serious topics. Mental health problems seem to be my speciality in general, but I already finished writing a story for @1didofest. Although you might think it should be a lighter story, a main part of it is alcohol addiction... When I tried to write a light summer story (Spinning out, waiting for ya) I realised that it's just not my kind of thing. I need the drama and serious topics. But I also love to write happy endings (my stories always have those).

When I'm in the mood for it I'm really comfortable with sitting smut as well, but that's not always the case.

I struggle most with all kinds of conversations ;)

35. Post the last sentence you wrote

I’m trying so hard to hold it together, but I can’t be strong all the time and I’m scared that I’m starting to crack under the pressure.

Okay, as I feared, my answer was really long. I'm hope you're happy with what you got.

Thank you for asking 😘

So if A:4 really is 5 years later that means Peter will have missed five years...

Worth of memes

He’s gonna get back and the next big meme will be something like

Larry: hey joe what’s that

Joe: it’s a cow larry

Larry: no it’s not

Joe: it’s a cow

Larry: dude wtf

Joe looks him in the eye: ... it’s a cow

And Peter will have to sit down with Shuri so they can go through the last 5 years in memes

r/bpdlovedones | a callout post. ableism isn’t cute, luvs [LOTS OF IMAGERY]

[meme created by u/tu2cerix on reddit, all screenshots taken by the lovely r/bpdlovedonesHATEsub xo]

—————————————————🦋 —————————————————

So judging by the title, you’re questioning why I’m calling out a subreddit mainly for loved ones affected by those with BPD, and of course I understand. But before we begin, let me explain.

r/BPDLovedOnes is “supposedly” a sub made for those healing from loved ones with Borderline Personality Disorder, a Cluster B personality disorder,

This illness is incredibly stigmatized by individuals, especially those who lurk and post on r/BPDLovedOnes, who spread lies, saying that everyone with BPD is a loveless abuser. Which is not even close to true.

—————————————————🦋 —————————————————

This subreddit has been spreading ableist views and discriminative information under the guise of “helping people”, which is not the truth whatsoever.

Which is incredibly funny, because this is what their rules look like:

‘NotAllBorderlines’ lol. Not all Borderlines are going to be abusers, you dumb shits. And if you’ve been abused by someone with BPD while YOU have it, you’re not allowed to be involved.

How...lovely?

So if I’ve been abused by someone with BPD but I have it myself, I can’t get support? Beautiful! [eyeroll]

—————————————————🦋 —————————————————

The Art Gallery

Portrait One: I Generalize Everyone with an Addiction Problem and Post Intimate Conversations on Reddit

You sound...kinda judgy there, fella.

First of all, not everyone with addiction issues has BPD. Second of all, why are you posting an intimate conversation on Reddit? If it’s making you uncomfortable, maybe stop? Discuss that with her? Instead of blasting her on the Internet lol? Is that difficult?

And what do you mean “trauma bond”? We can’t see the rest of your conversation lol. By the looks of it you asked her about her past and she doesn’t want to share it with you. It seems like you WANT an excuse to cry on that sub. I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with someone who posts our issues on the Internet instead of working it out with me. It’s not Reddit’s business. I feel bad for the girl tbh

—————————————————🦋 —————————————————

Portrait Two: Medical Professional Calls Out The Sub and Speaks All Fax, No Printer

pwBPD - Person with BPD

You know your subreddit is shit if a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL has called you out on it.

THE ONLY REASON for banning a medical professional from your echo chamber of bullshit is because you want to live in a world where everyone with BPD is the literal Antichrist and you want to continue hating them for no reason other than you’re hateful yourself. 

They love to preach and say that those with BPD are mentally ill, but I have never once seen someone with BPD send death threats. Hysterical.

Wouldn’t you want your loved ones to get help? Instead of hating on them, generalizing everyone with the disorder? A little odd, huh?

—————————————————🦋 —————————————————

TW: SELF HARM, RAPIST MENTIONS

Portrait Three: I Can’t Properly Name This Portrait As My Eyes Have Rolled Into The Back Of My Head / Hypocricy

Ummm...this was...a ride. 

You can’t tell someone to “cut into their veins” and then turn around to say we’ll call you a bully for wanting to talk respectfully lol. How does it feel...to be more hateful than anybody I’ve ever seen?

My ex friend would say similar things to me, and you wanna know something? She doesn’t have BPD. I do. And yet...I’ve never said anything as cruel as what she would say. 

Maybe because...people who don’t have BPD can be abusive too? CRAZY, RIGHT?

Don’t tell r/BPDLovedOnes or they’ll have a stroke.

Moving on!

—————————————————🦋 —————————————————

Portrait Four: BPD Women are Evil Because I Couldn’t Make Them Orgasm :(

They faked orgasms to make you feel better, bud. Like how does that relate to BPD in any way whatsoever LMFAO????

“I drank orange juice and got reminded of BPD ex wife” is no doubt going to be a post in the future rofl

—————————————————🦋 —————————————————

I don’t want to continue digging into their little hivemind bullshit, but by the posts here, I’m sure you get the point of how shit that sub actually is.

I really don’t give a fuck if you require support, I wish the best for you, but generalizing and discriminating against EVERYONE who has the disorder isn’t healing, that’s you projecting your emotions onto an entire spectrum. 

You want to heal? Don’t use Reddit. That’s all I can fucking say. Especially when the group has people talking shit about it constantly.

You cannot say you wish for us to heal and then refuse to acknowledge or put an end to the judgement and hate that is pointed directly at us. It’s utter bullshit. 

A lovely Domestic Violence counselor was kind enough to message the moderators of that shithole,

And according to them, all the mods said was “read our rules” LMFAOOOOOOO

They can’t get any more pathetic than that. It’s difficult to go farther, I swear. 

Imagine having a counselor wish to help people with their healing while avoiding ableism and you DENY THEM? The stupidity. I can’t wrap my head around it.

Share/reblog this post if you can please. I’m tired of ignorant fuckwads disgusting themselves as God Chosen healers when they’re haters in helper’s clothing.

HELLO MY FRIEND I am having Steve Feels again

Specifically music, because I met a new friend and we bonded over Good Sounds. (If you’re interested, my fav is Taylor Swift’s “Girl At Home (Taylor’s Version)” and my friend showed me this and I’m in love. Listen with headphones!)

So anyways I’m thinking about Steve is maybe just not doing the best. Not bad, necessarily, but definitely Could Be Better is what he says, which means he’s the living embodiment of the “this is fine” meme. So he puts in earbuds (I think headphones might be too much; the earbuds aren’t very intrusive but headphones squeeze his head in a Not Good way.) and listens to Good Sounds. Sometimes it’s actual songs, sometimes ASMR, sometimes white noise. Depends on what he needs.

When he’s overstimulated, especially after a mission, he’ll put in the earbuds just to help filter out some of the noise. Usually it works, but if the quinjet (or however he’s getting home) is too loud, he’ll usually have to go decompress; his closet is the quietest, out of all the rooms, so he’ll sit in there with his weighted blanket, in the dark, until he feels like he can be a person again.

And, brought to you by an Experience I had yesterday… Steve’s in New York, walking, enjoying the day and the shops, when from what feels like directly behind him, a truck accelerates, hits a pothole, and bounces. Normally this wouldn’t be too bad, but this specific truck was holding lots of metal. All the metal hit each other, bounced away-and-back, hitting again, and Steve flinches. Hard. Because it’s metal, the sound echoes, and now it’s mixing with all the people talking and doors opening and closing and cars driving by and-

His hands close around nothing in his pockets. He tries again. Front, back, even hoodie. No earbuds.

He holds in a whimper, reaching for his phone and picking his one favorited contact.

“Steve?”

“Buck,” he sighs.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I, uh, I just… I’m out and I forgot my earbuds, and it’s-” he shakes his head, takes a breath, tries again. “I’m on my way, just… can you talk to me? Please?”

“Anytime, bud,” Bucky promises, and rambles on about dinosaurs.

Steve listens to every word.

…so anyways. Feels. 😂 thoughts?

FEELS

GOD I'm just always such a fan of Bucky being wholly nonjudgemental, no questions asked about things Steve needs.

And along with the lovely scenario you've painted, I'm now thinking about a time that Steve is totally overstimulated during a press event. He's clearly not doing well up on stage. Zoning out, wincing a bit at every camera flash and the distinct, loud sound of the microphones. Everything's too much, and he can't use any of his normal coping mechanisms, let alone put in earbuds.

But Bucky's in the audience, and he notices. Of course he does. And he keeps his worry to himself until the conference is over. Steve slips off stage and Bucky's immediately up from his seat, rushing backstage just in time to see Steve slip into some single stall bathroom. Knocking once, making sure to keep the knocks quiet, Bucky slips inside.

The lights are off, but Bucky can sense Steve in the corner-- can hear his harsh breaths and low humming, and fuck. It's bad. Steve only really hums when he can't find any other way to self soothe.

Sliding onto the floor with him, Bucky scoots closer.

"Hey," he whispers. "I have ear plugs. You want them?"

In the dark, Bucky can just barely make out Steve's frantic nod. Nodding back, Bucky takes out his earplugs and passes them over to Steve, watching him twist them up and put them in his ears.

It's quiet for another moment, then-- "Can you squeeze me?"

Bucky softens, crawling on his knees until he's right next to Steve.

"Of course, pal," he says, even though he isn't sure how well Steve can hear him. He opens his arms, letting Steve settle in his hold, then slowly starts squeezing. Steve is shaking, but Bucky persists until he feels the tension bleed out of him in waves. It isn't perfect, but neither of them are looking for that. As long as Steve feels settled-- safe-- that's all that matters.

Crossover Yandere Delta Warriors And Kris’s Three Souls

-----------------------------

Credit for Steven Universe Series goes to Rebecca Sugar

Credit for Deltarune & Undertale goes to Toby Fox

Credit for Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss goes to Vivienne “Vivziepop” Medrano & Spindlehorse

Credit for Yandere Simulator goes to YandereDev

------------------------

I do plan to post this drawing at the other place I post fan art at.

also the reason why Ayano has different color eyes,

has to do with the Genocide Route, Neutral Route and True Pacifist Route of Yandere Simulator.

like depending how we play, if we go full Geno-Route

our eyes, well Ayano’s eyes....become Red.

but if we befriend a rival and help other students, and not kill anyone in yandere simulator.....

Ayano’s eyes will become blue.

why Sans is wearing Steven Universe’s clothes and Pink Steven being right next to him should be obvious.

it has to do with Sans and Steven being one in the same.

and when the Human Half of Steven died, he was reborn as Sans

but the gem half that makes “Pink-Steven” reforms but Human-Steven is not close by and most likely left to maybe to go live with his new family, his new Dad that speaks in hands and his new little brother Papyrus.

the dark purple soul belongs to Knight, the light turquoise blue soul belongs to Kris, and the Red Soul belongs to the Player.

I believe that before the Player’s Red Soul ends up in Deltarune (in Chapter 1), the Knight who is the Dark Purple Soul had made Kris’s life miserable by pulling dark pranks on others, even if Kris could pull some pranks....they would not willingly cross the line, that would be the Knight’s doing.

yeah I have a theory that the Knight had done dark pranks by making Kris do them and making everyone believe it was Kris, while technically it was but at the same time it was against Kris’s will.

think about it, we never did any of those dark pranks that those in Deltarune mention.

so it makes sense that it is the work of the Knight, who’s soul has been controlling Kris before we got there.

and the only time Knight does take control,

is when they are about to do something sneaky and they rip our soul from Kris’s body and the reason why Kris doesn’t fight back is because the Knight is much stronger than them.

it is possible that the only time we are stronger than the Knight, is during the day time in the Lightner’s World and when we are in the Dark World.

but once Nighttime happens, the Knight has the power to control Kris and pull us the Players.

so if this is true, this means that Kris has two souls in them trying to fight for control.....one being the villain known as the “Knight”

and the other being us the Player, the Red Soul.

I see that as fan headcanon.

in theory if the Crystal Gems and Connie, didn’t know that Steven died and became Sans.....

like it happen some time after the end of Steven Universe Future.

Sans might have Alphys help with that, by cloning a homunculus steven body, that the Pink-Steven will be put in and make it so that no one knows Steven had died and became a Magical Talking Skeleton.

well that could be one way to keep the Crystal Gems, Connie, Greg and everyone else from Beach City from finding out what happen to Steven....if he had died off-screen and was brought back to life by Gaster as Sans.

I would like to see a crossover fan art with the meme

Gaster: *hugging Sans* stay away from my Son. 

Greg Universe: but he’s my Son!!

Gaster:.........Stay Away From YOUR Ex-Son......who is now MY Son.

even if we love Steven Universe

(and some of us do love Steven Universe Future)

at least we now know now that the Steven Universe Future,

was NOT the start of Steven’s problems......it was just the boiling point.         

Greg was not a great dad, something we should of seen from the start of the first Season but couldn’t.

I plan to re-watch the first series of Steven Universe, to really watch it

and notice the stuff that we never truly notice before....

like even if the Crystal Gems did make some mistakes with how they treated Steven most of the time during his childhood.

and Amethyst did start to become a better big sister to Steven,

like with the whole finding out his Mom is Pink Diamond.

even if not a lot of fans liked Steven Universe Future, because of different reasons....

but we have to acknowledge the problem Steven was having didn’t start in the Steven Universe Future.....it started in the first series.

even if Steven had his good days, he did end up with trauma and he didn’t see a doctor until Steven Universe Future....

which you can thank his “Ex-Dad Greg” for that.

most families have excuses for not being able to go to a doctor.

after becoming rich, Greg could of hired Steven a tutor

and send him to school.....though I don’t think you have to be rich to do that.....at least I don’t think so.

but we can’t place the blame on Steven, even if his Human and Gem Family loves him dearly....

it doesn’t help that Greg and Connie form a “Human Beings Club”

kind of excluding Steven and making him feel a type of negative emotion.

I believe what Steven was feeling when he also says “human beings.”

was a type of negative feeling, but like still wanting to be included in the human bonding that his Dad and Best Friend (Future Girlfriend) were having.

Greg was a bit disappointing in the episode where he took Steven to where his parents lived.....

just when Steven was becoming more better and even enjoyed finding out about his Dad’s past.....Greg only made things worse again,

when he couldn’t understand why his own son was upset with him.

 there might of been more to the story of Greg’s Parents than what Greg told so far.....it is possible that one of Greg’s parents had very sensitive hearing and couldn’t handle really loud music.

and Greg could of broke that rule many times and that is why his parents don’t allow any music in the house.

even if that episode tried to play that Greg was a victim, it might not be 100% true.....

yes Pink’s punishments were unjust at times, but we have to remember how bad she was before she given Earth.

so most of her punishments were just, meaning she deserved them.

while other times she didn’t deserve them at all.

the problem might be that both Greg’s Parents

and Blue & Yellow Diamond, would punish Greg and Pink even at times when they didn’t deserve it.....

but it could be that before they did start punishing them,

they let them get away with so much and one point both of them crossed a line that it became too much for Greg’s Parents and even Yellow & Blue, and they had no choice but to ground them

to Greg’s Room and Pink’s Tower.

once again the problem with Steven

didn’t start in Steven Universe Future,

it started at the very beginning in Steven Universe.

the the boiling point maybe started in the Steven Universe Movie,

then the breaking point started in the Steven Universe Future.

not all fans of Steven Universe, have to like Steven Universe Future.

I happen to love Steven Universe, Steven Universe Future and the Movie.

but we have to try to come to terms that the problems Steven was having, didn’t start in Steven Universe Future.

it started in Steven Universe, and even if not a lot of fans will accept that.....well it is their choice, and they should accept it by their own free will to.

I do plan to re-watch the first series to see if Steven had more than one bad experience which would of been one of the first problems he had before his breaking point in Steven Universe Future.

I know at first I thought of the Steven Universe Future

as the time he had his boiling point, but in correction it would be his breaking point that would get worse over time.

the boiling point would be the first stage, which would start in Steven Universe Future.....when more of his mother’s past misdeeds would come to light.

 the breaking point would slowly consume and get stronger for Steven, to the point where he would end up becoming Monster-Steven.

Steven becomes a gem monster because of all the negative emotions,

he only gets better once everyone realize what they didn’t do for him.

being there for him when he needs it.

at times we could pretend that everything is fine for others,

like acting like we are only a little sad but doing pretty okay now.

but that might not be for the best....even if we might think it is.

          Sans might be a future version of Steven,

who had gotten better and learned from his past, but could still hold on to some form of bitter memories.

like what if the one calling Connie, when Steven proposed to her...

wasn’t Connie’s Mom but was a Boy that Connie was Dating.

and she still liked Steven, but couldn’t bring herself to tell Steven.

well hopefully that isn’t true and that was just Connie’s Mom.

we know that a lot of fans were worried for their ship.

well the Sadie and Lars Ship had became the Friend Zone Ship.

meaning it went from “I Ship It” to “I Bud It”

Shep seems nice though, when I did first see them on the opening I didn’t know if they were a boy or a girl.....

but it turns out they are nonbinary, so it’s nice that the episode where they officially appeared on (as well as their bio.) had confirmed Shep’s identity.

I think I still need to figure out the whole Gyno-Agender

or Feminine-Nonbinary thing.....

I wonder how many fans of both Yandere Simulator and Undertale/Deltarune.....

would think that Fun-Girl from Yandere Simulator,

reminds them of Gaster....?

well Fun-Girl does remind me of Gaster, it be nice if both games did canon crossovers.

well there is that Yanderetale,

but maybe that is only Semi-Canon.....maybe?

there is another crossover drawing I did, that has to do with Undertale/Deltarune and even another game....

but I will wait until tomorrow to post it.

hope some of you like this drawing.

I wonder if it be weird to Crossover ship Sans x Collin....?  

I will think about it, but it might leave me a little sheepish. lol       

[foximator-blog]

Actually, I think I have some more sonic related things to share today. How about a:

Mega Headcanon post

Just a big ol post of Sonic headcanons in my personal AU. It might be fun, or it might be lame. You can be the judge. ^^ I'll stick with Team Sonic for now

Sonic

Sonic in my AU has quirks from most versions of Sonic. He's got the floof, extra spiky quills, and the Scarf of boom Sonic. He mostly follows a story similarly to classic/modern Sonic. And he values family and friendship like Movie Sonic. He also tries to set a good example for those younger than him, despite his thrill seeking nature, oddly enough like AoStH Sonic.

The lengths he will go to ensure all his friends are safe is insane. It doesn't matter who it is, but if anyone even remotely close to Sonic is threatened, he is quite literally the first to act, be it Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Big, Elise... anyone.

An Asexual Panromantic. He's big into cuddles, but flirting either goes right over his head or doesn't intrest him much.

Species means nothing on mobius considering they're all bipedal and intelligent humanoids. So Sonic would like to kindly ask you all to stop making fun of the bond he and Elise developed in 06, it's getting old.

Sonic is actually a surprisingly competent cook... and very knowledgeable about the nutritional value and calorie content of most foods. Which comes in handy considering many of his friends don't burn calories as fast as he does.

Only those Majorly involved in the events of 06 remember what happened before reality was altered, so sometimes Sonic will visit Elise in Soleana to check up on her. She's finally able to love a more comfortable life without a big fire monster trapped inside her.

Sonic was 15 years old in the Classic era, in my AU he's currently in his Twenties.

Tails

Tails obviously tinkers and works with machines in his spare time... but he also likes to try developing video games. Sonic loved to play test them.

Tails is secretly friends with his Robotic Rival Tails doll. And sometimes they seem to forget they're rivals.

Tails has... So many crushes. He's a pansexual disaster but doesn't know it yet. This does include Zowie and Cosmo yes, but also some other characters from other series considering I cross over my favorite AUs and fandoms quite a bit.

Tails in my AU is currently fifteen years old.

He does like to chase his tails from time to time, but only when he thinks no one is looking... He is not aware Sonic and Amy know.

He sings what he's listening to when he has ear buds in. Which is embarrassing when he's unironicly listening to meme music.

Tails had tried many times to revive Gamma, but has been unsuccessful... still, having an E-series robot to study makes maintaining and Repairing Omega much easier.

Tails has converted an old Motobug engine into an energy efficient engine for the Tornado, but instead of animals it's powered by rings.

Knuckles

He does still hate big crowds on his island, but doesn't mind having friends over in small parties or one on one.

He has a hat he really likes, but it keeps falling off while gliding long distances so he can't bring it on adventures as much as he'd like.

The hat falls off because his dreadlocks fan out like wings for gliding, and thus lift the hat up enough to push it off or let it get caught by a breeze. Using the string makes the hat slow him down like a weird parachute.

He and Rouge have made a silent agreement to pool their treasure together since the military occasionally tries to take it from her despite her services. They don't invade Angel island, so it's safe there. Not to mention it's now on the same island as the Master emerald, and thus she has no reason to take the Master emerald from the island now.

Now though, she makes jokes about them practically being Married due to how their relationship has changed.

Knuckles has many tribal warrior tattoos and markings in the AU, but they can seem a little messy... He's the last of his kind so he had to paint them himself.

Knuckles does now venture off the island more often than he used to... He still has a weird time in cities, but so long as Tails or Sonic are around to keep him out of trouble he can manage.

He likes to taste different fruit sodas to critique how close to the real fruit they taste like. He's really picky with grape soda in particular since Grapes are his favorite fruit.

His age in the AU is also in his twenties. He's only a year older than Sonic.

Amy and Sonic had to help him learn to read English, but in return he taught Amy and Sonic how to easily decode and translate ancient languages for themselves. Being a treasure hunter himself, he knows a thing or two about the history of Mobius.

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Alright alright alright

You’ve all been asking for it, so here it is! 

This will be (edit: HELLA) long and obviously spoiler-y, so everything is under a cut. 

Are you ready?

Before we get to it, I want to mention that for the sake of keeping things organized, I will NOT be talking about my AU (@ask-whitepearl-and-steven​) in this post. I want to just analyze the show as a viewer and a fan first. I’ll make a seperate post for AU-thoughts a bit later.

Without further ado:

EP 1: LITTLE HOMESCHOOL

This is a great way to open up the episode and show the changes through the lens of someone who has been a bit out of it for a while (we are all Cherry Quartz, fresh from the hiatus, aren’t we?) but I’m sorry, this post still takes the cake:

Okay, okay, back to the program.

“That used to be a loaded question...“

Right off the bat, Steven is SO much more confident about saying that he’s... HIMSELF! What a good feeling. I’m very proud of our boy. 

I love the name “Gemglyph” for the gem language! I’ll need to know who wrote these, though. And who the heck drew the diamonds? Hopefully it was BP. 

And I’m not the first one to point this out, but MORE ANIME REFERENCES!

Which can be seen as either a reference to the Chill Low-Fi Hiphop Beats to Study To OR Whisper of the Heart. 

And absolutely no one cares but something that caught my eye is the fact that they have an EARTH FLAG at Little Homeschool! How cool is that!

Earth 4ever!!! 

Off-note - I love how INVESTED they are in this conversation Pearl is having with Holo-Pearl.

Peak entertainment. 

I love Professor Amethyst and I love the random human who snuck in to apparently take lessons on Not Giving A Single Shit About Anything, Ever. 

And here we FINALLY are in the FUTURE

Where we FINALLY get Jasper as a functioning character

And 

She’s

SO DRAMATIC, I LOVE HER.

This is literally SO funny like she... she was just... laying on top of her house... under a blanket..... FOr WHAT? To stand up dramatically and throw it off when Steven inevitably paid a visit? 

Is that just what she dOES? 

“It’s FINE I don’t need any HELP, I’m FUNCTIONING, I’m just having a SELF CARE DAY OK”

Also I’m sorry but

Jasper: “It took forever to yank those puny green earthlings out of the ground.”

Steven: “You mean grass...?“

THIS. RIGHT HERE. is peak Jasper. 

It’s also curious how INVESTED Steven is in this:

“I’m TRYING to give you [a purpose]!“

Why are you... trying to do that, though? Isn’t the whole idea for gems to surpass their ‘purpose’ and just kinda... do whatever? Isn’t Jasper just kinda... doing whatever? 

I mean, sure, it’s not useful to anyone, but she seems relatively happy. Aside from. You know. The whole laying on rocks under blankets until she’s disturbed thing and-- okay, you’re right, maybe an intervention would be healthy. 

I’m not gonna talk at length about the rest of the episode - although I think it’s really good, I don’t know what I can say about it that hasn’t already been said. Jasper is definitely poking Steven’s buttons and rephrasing a LOT of what WHITE has said to Pink: “You surround yourself with inferior gems because it makes you feel better.”

And Steven REACTS to this. The taunt WORKS.

And yes, he gains some extra powers for it, but something tells me this AIN’T the only thing he will get. It feels like a two-edged sword. Like it’ll be his own downfall somehow....... maybe at the end of the series. 

Ashes to ashes.... hole to hole.

And oh wow I thought they were gonna bond but LMAO

“Consider your fight back there your first and ONLY lesson.“

Basically:

I love you Jasper.

EP 2: GUIDANCE

I LOVE YOU AMETHYST.

sHE’S doing SO much and she’s SO good at it!! Look at her!! Organizing stuff!!!! 

RUBIES IN SUNGLASSES. IN SQUARE SUNGLASSES. 

I need 20. 

And I also need 20 of Larimar because holy shit that’s hilarious. 

Larimar: “I want to hear the human screams forever.”

Steven: “Okay that’s kinda troubling.”

I love the reference to Monsters Inc here and I love the callback at the end of the episode when Larimar switches to Human Laughter to get her fill of that particular erm... need. 

And honestly the ensuing chaos is equally predictable and entertaining. 

I’m SO glad to know that Rubies are just... Like That and that actually Navy is not a deviation from the norm but rather a different flavor of the chaotic energy all Rubies naturally seem to possess. 

Amethyst is also super relatable:

“Ah yes, the fool comes crawling back. Come to beg for forgiveness, have you?”

In fact, the episode’s WHOLe HUMOUR is just very much My Brand

“Sometimes you save all the people but the rollercoaster still crashes into the ocean...... and that’s okay.”

Including the Running Gag that is Onion. Who... does not appear to have aged. At all. And that’s okay.

EP 3: ROSE BUDS

Okay where do I even begin with this one. Um.

I have to openly admit that I spent the majority of this episode wheezing with laughter. Let’s start with the Zoomans:

Who are CLEARLY STILL SUPER SALTY AT GREG ABOUT REJECTING THEM??? Which is hilarious. 

And also this paradise is fascinating in and of itself. 

But the next scene is basically where I started losing my shit.

Okay, okay, alright so. Uh. I have... a few questions.

Like Why. WHY. Does she look. SO MUCH like Rose? 

Clearly Rose Quartz differ in coloring and etc. But She literally looks. Like THE Rose. VERY explicitly. 

So here’s several options here:

1) Pink made Rose Quartz way before any of the Rebellion happened and Pearl just basically pigeonholed her into THIS specific Rose Quartz appearance because she (???) had a crush? Or somehow saw this specific Rose, thought ‘hot, i can make my sympathetic Diamond wear this exact costume and that would be EXCELLENT fanservice for ME’

2) Pink didn’t have any Rose Quartz until the Rebellion, and thereafter quickly decided ‘I need these gems as an alibi, so we’re just gonna make them” and she and Pearl basically inclubated Rose Quartz like a pokemon trainer hatching for a Shiny until they got one that looked Exactly Like That. 

3) There was no Thinking involved because this is Pink we’re talking about, and it was all just a huge coincidence for the sake of this Very Hilariously Uncomfortable Episode. 

While we ruminate on that, let’s look at some Relatable Reactions.

And here we have the holy trinity of “I have just seen the clone of my deceased parent/parental figure/lover.”

Featuring: Bonus ‘I’m Almost Over It’ Pearl

Also, I need y’all to make this into a meme:

For example:

Anyway, alright, alright. 

That relatable feel when your (hot) dead lesbian lover’s clone asks you if you’re okay after another one of the (less hot?) clones offers you a whole ass stick of butter to eat. 

And then you and your friends all hide in the bathroom to talk about your feelings:

Okay, the rest of the episode gives me FEELINGS and I love how hard Steven is trying, so I’ll just close it off with:

I LOVE THEM. Unironically, they are EVERYTHING I had hoped Rose Quartz would be. They’re SO MUCH like Rose herself - did she model her personality after them? Or are they just like her because she WAS like that, and they’re made from her essence? WHO KNOWS?! They’re adorable!

And the conflict between them and Steven is honestly so gooD! I don’t know if it’s completely relatable but I’m glad they ended up talking it out.

I wonder if we’ll ever see Her again... you know who I’m talkin’ about. 

Her....

I’m madly in love with Rose, ok, I don’t need a callout post. Just leave me be.

EP 4:  VOLLEYBALL

Alright, alright, alright.

OKAy,.... It’s fine. It’s FINE. I’m fINE. 

Confirmed: 8000 years. That’s. UH. A LOT? That puts our timelines quite a ways back. We kind of estimated as much, but still, it’s so jarring to think about. And PP is VERY casual about it. 

She’s also VERY casual about the injury.

“This is all Pink Diamond!”

It doesn’t seem like it bothers her to talk about it at all. She’s not even trying to keep it a secret. So I’m almost wondering - was there a connection to her being taken by White and the injury at all or not? 

She came to Steven to get healed - she clearly wants it gone. At the time she was injured, did Pink not even attempt to heal the injury? 

Follow up question: If she DID care, why didn’t she try to heal it?

Follow up to the follow up: Was it because she didn’t know she could? Or did she simply not have the time to (White removed her before she could)? 

When Steven goes pink, she gasps - but makes no further comment. It’s presumably because she’s seen this happen before. She doesn’t try to move away, weirdly enough - she asks him if everything is alright. Perhaps the context is too different for it to be triggering for her. Perhaps there’s more layers to it? HMMM. 

What follows is, perhaps, the SALTIEST we’ve seen Pearl since Greg rolled around.

“Did you come to compete?”

This is doubly curious to me because Crewniverse has previously explicitly stated that Pearl was NOT in love with Pink Diamond. She was in love with Rose. So if this is true, why would Pearl care about her place as Pink’s Pearl? She is supposed to be past all that, isn’t she? 

And yet as time goes on, the salinity grows exponentially. Alright, you two, I know you’re Pearls but tone it down with the sass. 

(Also, I’m sorry but I will NEVER call her Volleyball. That’s all. Bye.)

Also it’s worth noting that... PP is clearly VERY much in love with Pink.

This is, perhaps, where the lack of a grudge plays into it. She’s completely enamoured.

Moreover, she’s VERY casual about how she talks here. This isn’t exactly how one talks of their Diamond. This is how people talk about their romantic partners. She calls Pink silly, calls her ‘funny’. That’s not exactly a term of respect - it’s way more intimate than that. 

Also, did anyone else notice how, although CG Pearl’s gem is usually shaded in teal, it’s in Pink in this episode? VEEEERY subtle, Crew.

Also, we can’t quite see Pink Pearl’s expression fully here because her working eye isn’t visible, which makes it hard to get a read on things like

“I’m older than you.“ Is she just saying it casually? Or is she fully aware that she’s poking fun at CG Pearl? 

HI SHELL. ISN’T IT FUNNY HOW YOUR VOICE AND YOUR NAME ARE A SUBTLE NOD TO PORTAL, WHICH IS FORESHADOWING HOW BADLY THIS IS GONNA END. 

Meanwhile, Pearl continues to be in character.

“No need to be overly... attached.”

And this has nothing to do with anything but

she cute

Aaaand now it’s creepy again.

The rest of this is super important so let’s get to it:

“Oh, no. Pink did this.”

“What did you say?”

“It’s a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn’t fit to run one... and well! That set her off.”

“Set her off? What are you talking about?”

“You remember how she was! With her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right! She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn’t mean to hurt me! (giggle) I just happened to be standing too close to her that time and--”

And then Steven interrupts. 

We get more CG Pearl arguing for how wrong this image of Pink is to her. What CG Pearl knew was a totally different (or, well, same, but VERY changed) Pink. 

But what we have to prove our point is Steven himself. He rolls into the EXACT same state as Pink presumably did - and begins to over-use his powers. 

(This isn’t the first time we have seen him use this attack.)

The reactions from the Pearls are telling - this is clearly not Pink Pearl’s first rodeo with this type of Mood. 

And it’s important to note that Steven clearly didn’t direct any attack AT them. He simply yelled - and the whole dang place literally started to crack. There’s weight to the argument that possibly, Pink really DIDN’T mean to hurt her Pearl - that she was just collateral damage. 

Which doesn’t make it any better, obviously. Even if Pink had no direct intention of hurting her Pearl (and there are theories that Pink purposefully hit or threw Pink Pearl or somehow physically acted directly to damage her, which I was skeptical of) the result of it is still the same.

If you raise your voice and yell, even if you’re just yelling because YOU are hurt/have feelings, you might still hurt the people around you. If you throw a tantrum, even if your direct goal was just to let off some steam without aiming to harm anyone, whoever gets in your way is still the victim. 

And this is all very much On Brand for Pink’s timeline as we know it. We already knew this about her - we KNEW she tended to throw tantrums (like in the flashback on Jungle Moon) and that she was childish. The fact that she accidentally hurt her Pearl in the process because she had no self-control at that period in her life comes as no surprise. 

(Although it’s important to mention that perhaps hurting her own Pearl WAS the breaking point during which she finally realized how her emotional outbursts could have negative consequences on those around her.)

And this is a very beautiful message - even if Pink Pearl still doesn’t want to blame Pink for what was done to her (”But... she didn’t mean to!”) Pearl brings the point of it back around to her (”But you were still hurt!”) The point isn’t the person who did the hurting - the focus is on the victim and how they were affected. 

And the rest, I daresay, is history. 

I like the fact that they managed to still bring it back around to the main message: 

It isn’t about just “Pink was bad”. It’s about how she did bad things. And there were multiple sides to her - multiple stages. And the Pearls who knew her knew different sides of her - the side that didn’t know how to be a good person, who was selfish and childish and unrestrained... and  the side that was, arguable, too restrained. Who hated her own past, her own character and her own mistakes so much that she would rather bury them and keep secrets from everyone. 

And neither of those things were good, and neither were healthy, but they are a GREAT contrast to a GREAT character arc that is, arguably, still being unearthed. And we have so much more context for it all now. 

I, for one, can’t wait to see and discover more of Pink through Pink Pearl - no matter how ugly that side of her might be. I think it gives great perspective to her later growth. 

And if you ship the Pearls.. .well, I get why. 

Personally I’m not interested in it that way. Call me unromantic - I don’t think their relationship NEEDS to be shippy in order to be satisfyingly deep. I love the idea of them having a deep bond over this - a shared past, a shared experience, and gaining confidence through one another. 

Cheers and thanks for listening!

[romancemoved]

"Dear person I had a crush on"

✨ @emptyvictory ft. our fave cranky bank robber michael de santa @maximuses because omg closure. meme. still accepting!

Dear you, the one that let me unearth my own capacity to love,

I’m sorry for all of that commotion that happened back then, I really am. I know it was probably awkward for you. It was awkward for me. Still love you, though; but, in a best friend kind of way. You know, I actually don’t regret a single thing. At first, I did regret meeting you. Not because of your fault, but because of my own. I should’ve been more vigilante of my own emotions. But, I wasn’t. This will never reach you, I’m going to rip this up and place the pieces into the sea.

So, I guess I’ll vent here. This more for me than anything else.

This is my official ‘ what in the hell was I thinking? ’  moment. I’ll let myself have that.

Other than the obvious incompatibility, loving you wasn't easy. You’re so prone to being reckless and selfish and out of control. You did dumb shit, so I lost a lot of sleep. Got yourself into trouble, got other people roped up in it. Sometimes, you were shitty to everyone around you. Your temper really did get the best of you, too. Still, you were the sweetest person I’d ever met. The good in you outweighed the bad. Despite that, I don’t envy your ex-wife. I don’t know what I saw in you in a romantic way, but I also... Do. Haha! My preferences are avant-garde.

There’s always a bright side to these things. Like, for example, I figured out that I was able to take a dive back towards romantic love. A type of love that had been stripped away from me when I was younger. I was guarded for a very, very long time. As if I was too scared to open my heart. It’s open, now. I’m happy about it. I met someone.

He’s very, very beautiful. Pretty eyes and strong hands and dresses like a dweeb. Quiet. He never says a lot. He says what he has to, so he doesn’t mince words. I appreciate that. I’ll never know what’s going on in his head and that’s okay. I’m just glad that he likes me. I guess what I’m trying to say is... Thank you, for lending me the courage to find him. You were practice, in a way. I was once too paralyzed with fear to pursue happiness. Frozen over.

You unfrosted the bud, now I’m blooming. Thank you. I hope you find someone, too.

Say, you should meet him. You two can bond over robbing banks.

Just don’t... Rob a bank. Ever again. I’ll whoop his ass and then I’ll whoop your ass. At the same time. I’m 5′0”, but I’m mighty and fighty.

♡ Virote.

[just-a-creep-babe]

Hiya! May I have a matchup with some NSFW? I'm a 5'2 bisexual female but I mostly lean towards males. My style consists of slouchy beanies, hoodies, skinny jeans, and combat boots. I'm extremely shy with new people but am quite a bit of an asshole with people I know and I'm very sarcastic. I love The Legend of Zelda and I've been playing it since I was 8. I also suffer from epilepsy and insomnia and live on memes and pepsi.

~Requests are closed but kinktober prompts are open~

Masterlist: x

I match you with: Jeff the Killer

The fact that you love LoZ so much immediately means you n BEN have ~a bond~

He also really digs your style & relates to you a lot, so y’all become gamer bros like,, overnight

Jeff, being one of BEN’s best buds, gets to know the sarcastic, unabashed version of you beneath that initial shyness

Jfc there are two of them

And as he gets to know you, he realizes that he actually,, kinda has a weird soft spot for you??

He’d usually be pissed at someone for giving him feelings

But you’re kinda just so chill and cool and somehow perfectly his type he?? he’s not even mad??

Once you start dating, he sometimes gets jealous of the time you spend with BEN

So expect him to pull you away in the middle of a gaming match to remind you who you belong to ;)~

He’s familiar with memes and even has his preferred niches

But he doesn’t know them like you do tbh

So if you send him some real obscure ones that aren’t part of his niche, ya might have to explain them to him, which kinda ruins the joke ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, he gives you a lot of shit for drinking so much Pepsi lmao

But only because he cares for you in his own way & he wants you to stay healthy—he just doesn’t know how to go about positive reinforcement

Y’all end up bickering a lot, but it never escalates into anything too serious

If you stand your ground, he’ll just huff and brush the whole thing off

For the insomnia thing, his solution is to force you to get a lot of exercise in to tire you out

Whine and argue with him all you want, he’s not gonna let you skip training

Will physically carry you to the sparring room if he has to

He also uses it as an excuse to teach you some self defence because he knows he can’t always be there to protect you

Like I said, he’s sweet and caring in his own way :”)

He’ll try to avoid anything that might trigger your epilepsy but he’s not really familiar with the disorder

So you’re gonna have to walk him through it just so he’s not completely clueless tbh

NSFW

Jeff is one horny boi™️

Any excuse is a good excuse to screw when you’re as pent up as he is

You’re spending too much time with BEN? Best believe he’ll be c o v e r i n g you in hickeys & marks so your “gamer bro” gets the hint

You really aren’t in the mood to train? Fine, he’ll just have to tire you out by fucking you hard & deep into the mattress instead

Hell, even if you do train with him, it’ll most likely end up in some rough, sweaty sex halfway through

And then he could always use a good round 2 in the showers to clean up~

Sometimes when you’re in a heated argument, he’ll just fuck his emotions out

He doesn’t really know how to deal with them otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He isn’t the most gentle of lovers, but for you, if it’s what you want, he’ll try to take things slow every now and then

Key word being try sksndjsksksklsl

The whole height difference thing btw?

He lives for it

Not only is he *that* asshole that uses you as an arm rest, but the fact that you’re so short also means he can pick you up and manhandle you just that easily

Would love to try fucking you standing, where he’s just holding you up and bouncing you on his dick 👀👌💦

You’re just so small and cute and perfect to ravage~

Keeping up with this burnt nugget of a man is no small feat, but he’ll tone himself down for you if t’s too much sometimes uwu

Kaminari Denki from My Hero Academia? Or Alex Cyprin from Astoria?

Kaminari Denki

How I feel about this character

I love this guy! He’s funny, fun in general and I also love just... how he acts around people. I also love the fact that he knows classical literature, so fun for the character people think is stupid.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

-Izuku 

-Shinsou

-Jirou

-Mina

-Kirshima

-Sero

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Hmmm honestly I love the idea of him and Tokoyami being buds and bonding over classical literature like Poe and stuff.

My unpopular opinion about this character

 I read a lot of fics where he’s like super into internet culture and acts like the class clown, and while I do agree he knows a good meme, this guy is fucking reading Hemmingway and shit. He is more likely reading a book then on the internet.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

 I really wish we explored his brain a bit more? UA is the top school for a reason. Kaminari isn’t stupid, he just isn’t as smart as others are. I’d love to explore that.

Alex Cyprin

How I feel about this character

I FUCKING LOVE THEM. Best person in Astoria.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

MC, no other questions.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Oddly enough I think Cyprin would get along best with Cerberus? I don’t know why but I think the two would honestly be like the best of friends.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I don’t like some of their outfits. The suspender outfit? Ehhhh not that great.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I wish we had more drama with Zeus and the comment he was willing to let MC be with them due to his past with Hera. I would love Alex learning about this and going: FIRST OF ALL-

[tenshindon]

Chiaotzu for the character ask meme?

Give Me A Character and I Will Answer:

Why I like them:

I love his potential as a psychic/ki-based fighter as well as his childish personality, not to mention how blunt and funny he can get and his Strong As Hell friendship with Tien.

Why I don’t:

Uhhh N/A??? I love him so much what’s there Not to like.

Favorite episode (scene if movie):

I love all of Chiaotzu’s Bastard moments in OG Dragon Ball, but his scenes with Tien in Mystical Adventure just tug at my heart and I cherish them so much, from where he has to confide in Tien after having a nightmare to the scene where Tien is ordered to kill him. I know I’m supposed to pick ONE scene but MAN I simply Cannot.

Favorite season/movie:

Again!! Chiaotzu’s role in the Mystical Adventure movie- it’s both a really interesting What If scenario for him and the movie was a joy to watch overall.

Favorite line:

"Piano! A piano!” -Chiaotzu, moments preceding a legendary event.

Favorite outfit:

Since I love Tien’s Buu Saga outfit so much, I also have to say I love Chiaotzu’s- especially since he looks like a whole ass baby doll in it and that’s Beyond precious.

OTP:

Uhhh Chiaotzu and Princess Poppyseed? Lmao but no I don’t really ship Chiaotzu with anyone? I don’t think anyone really does that...

Brotp:

Tien and Chiaotzu is like. The Definitive answer their bond is so important to my breathing.

Head Canon:

This is debatably a headcanon since it’s been said on record that Chiaotzu was based off of them but I firmly believe in Chiaotzu legitimately being a Jiang Shi and I actually have a fic in the works about his origin to becoming one and how he gets involved with the Crane School.

Unpopular opinion:

Let Chiaotzu fuck it up dead ass. Have him throw a mountain. Have him do SOMETHING he’s RIGHT there ready to distract and stall and support people I’m going to scream.

A wish:

See Above

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen:

Permadeath? But death is inconsequential in Dragon Ball, not to mention if Super is going to maintain being an in-between of the end of the Buu Saga and The End Of Z then there’s not possibility he can die anyways.

5 words to best describe them:

Small loyal clown Gordan Ramsey

My nickname for them:

L’il Man or L’il Buddy/Bud!

[onf-headcanons]

ONF MEMBERS AS YOUR SIBLING (U & Laun version)

Either you are related from Yuto or Minseok side and either one of them later joined the family. Confusing? OK example you are Yuto's sibling by blood and then later Minseok joined. Or in reversed, Yuto joined later.

Or You are the youngest sibling (could be in terms age when the family comes together or you being born later)

Or, You are the eldest.

Any scenario that is suitable to your own imagination. Also there will be some repeated ideas fron first universe because i would like to keep characterization consistency.

Btw this pair of sibling would be one of the less noisy siblings of all.

My recommendation, your birthday is in older than both of them. But you can totally imagine that your are younger ones. I will try to elaborate both, I hope i won't confuse you guys🙈

Also i recommend, if you are going to imagine yourself as eldest, you are 2 to 3 years older. While if you are the youngest, you would be 5 to 7 years younger.

Scenario 1

If you are related with Yuto and Minseok is the new join

You Defo speaking Japanese comfortably

Your parent moved the family to Korea (or minseok family moved to Japan is doable too).You and Yuto attending school at Korea so you two speak somewhat decent Korean.

And your parent met with Minseok parent then they decided to tie the knot.

Your parents decided to have a dinner before wedding so that you kids can know each other before hand

Btw it would be a lie if you did not once considered Minseok is cute (non romantic way)

Maybe Minseok is not studying in the same school as yours/Yuto's. But it is doable too if he is. Even being classmate with Yuto

(It will a callback to onf meme if your side of family is maternal side so your parent took in Minseok family name. And then Mizuguchi Yuto also known as Kim Yuto lol)

Minseok already excited to have Yuto (a Japanese) as sibling, even more excited to have you too. Especially if you are the elder sister/sibling

Minseok explaining to Yuto about meme or idioms or weird metaphors seen in TV

You found out Minseok sneakily munching ice cream in the fridge in early morning to wake himself up (which is a weird way in your common sense) and then understood he cannot handle coffee. If you are an employed sibling, you might offer to drive him to school/University and let him sleep in your car while you are driving. (this is if both Yuto and Minseok attended different schools/University)

Minseok has many questions, asking about both of your experience in korea, asking about Japanese cultures, and even asking you both for help on Japanese

Minseok taking Japanese classes online and dedicated to one day properly converse in Japanese with you and Yuto

Learning some Osaka dialect from Yuto and you. And maybe both of you talks in the dialect so much that it affects Minseok's beginner Japanese. Cues in Minseok once flustered when his online instructor asked why his intonation sounds mixed with osaka accent.

Of course you both will chill him a bit mentioning is fine because you both are OK with korean too. But Minseok looks up to the effort of both of you learning a foreign language, hence he continues with learning Japanese until he is somewhat fluent.

As Yuto's sibling, you know your brother is the quiet side when he is trying to adjust. Bonus if you are a sister and you hope the boys could bond, you might help out by leaking some information of Yuto's preference to Minseok. Example like Xmas gift or birthday gift

Once they opened up, your job is done 👌. Maybe you move out and then once in a while return home and seeing them two playing games together or even inmersed in dance cover/tutorial videos

If have the same characteristic of laughter as Yuto, Minseok's usual ☺😊 is very unusual to you

Maybe you might ask "Minseok ah how can stay calm and smiling like usual when we are already dying of laughter?"

Minseok just scratches his head and replies you with his innocent eyes, "I was laughing and nearly losing my breath though?"

Them two defo bond with dancing and songs they like. But mostly dancing. Could be something one of your parents brought it up during the dinner and both Minseok and Yuto's eyes glimmers for a short while as if they found comrade lol

By the way of you happened to be the younger sibling of Yuto in this scenario, Minseok being a new elder brother is just the best thing of all. He will share food or stuff with you the most. I do feel he will do that more if you are a sister. Not sure because he is the new joined, he is trying hard very much to be attentive to everyone. Or, he just does not want you to feel left out as now there is 2 boys in house and you did not have a sister to bond with

When you have problems, both Yuto and Minseok will listen to you attentively. Depends on what problem was it you will go to different person to consult with. Yuto is your sibling and he knew you long and well enough, so if you want a more unbiased view you would go to Minseok.

Yes Minseok smiles alot but when he is concentrating into something important (also means listening to your concerns), his expression goes into a serious mode and you never knew he had that.

Also it will be a nice contrast if you are the fearless one and the boys are the scaredy cat. I will elaborate at Scenario 2

Scenario 2

If you are related with Minseok and Yuto is the new joined (by the way if not sibling, Yuto honestly as exchange student is also definitely doable for this one. I wont be separately writing about this soon I will mesh this into sibling au.)

Even thought alot similar with scenario 1, I will try to add more variety

Both are excited to meet Yuto

prior to your parents wedding, they decided to have a dinner hope you kids can know each other before hand

You and your brother noticed the new soon to be sibling is quite quiet in personality.

He smiles alot

One of the parent brought up dancing and mentioned it, you definitely saw them two looking very much brighten up and cannot wait to talk to each other to find out more.

You 3 exchanged numbers but mostly is just Yuto and Minseok texting each other more. And you are happy that your brother get to know someone with similar preferences

Maybe in this scenario its only Minseok who is dedicated to learn Japanese.

Probably you 3 bond by playing games, Mario kart maybe? And that is the first time Yuto showed himself. Loud laughs, loud wails when your car accidentally bumped on his.

Only then he starts getting more comfortable with his new siblings

Yuto's laugh is contagious.

Sometimes in charge for dinner and he cooks japanese style

Also you might see Yuto tapping on Minseok with music on just to teach him about the beat in the music when they are discussing on choreography. And your brother just sits there receiving all the tappings (this happens in other scenarios too but its more significant here)

Learning some Osaka dialect from Yuto. And maybe Yuto talks in the dialect so much that it affects Minseok's beginner Japanese. Cues in Minseok once flustered when his online instructor asked why his intonation sounds mixed with osaka accent.

Nope, its a bad idea to bring them to haunted house. Not even roller coaster. Maybe there is once your parents brought you 3 to Japan for vacation and you all stop by at Fuiikyu Highland (a theme park in japan) that day and both of your brothers regret their life choices for placing Fujikyu first and Universal studio for the next day.

One of them maybe "WHY CAN'T WE JUST GO TO UNIVERSAL STUDIO AT OSAKA INSTEAD?!!!!!"

Another one nearly crying " WHY CAN'T WE SKIP TODAY AND FAST FORWARD TO TOMORROW INSTEAD?!!!!"

Scenario 3

If you are the child that born later from your parents marriage

This timeline, Minseok and Yuto has gotten more comfortable with each other mother tongue but still learning

They are best buds right now

They value you a lot. Leo is very attentive and showering you with straightforward love and Pisces is a bit of tsundere but a lot of small gestures showing his affection towards younger sibling

I think both brothers will cradle you when you are still a baby. Of course involving some panicking when they first time trying to hold you. Minseok loves to gently rub his cheek on yours, he cannot help it lol(yes like how SoonYoung/Hoshi from Svt). And Yuto always love to caress your head

Overall they are very protective. In a bit different ways. Minseok would be the attentive protective type, while Yuto be like "Run along my young one, but remember big brother is here."

I dunno why but I do see you converse with Yuto in Japanese and Minseok in korean

Sometimes being the middle person to teach/help them with the unfamiliar language. You grow with 2 languages that is why in comparison, you might be the most fluent person handling and juggling 2 languages in the household

Scene like Minseok trying to express himself in japanese with Yuto and he kinda stuck with the word and your second brother turn to you asking you whats that is korean and you just nonchalantly tell Yuto what Minseok has been trying to convey

Purposely integrate this here. You 3 are very interested in dancing. Guess its in the blood if you sort out the equation. I also think that you used to watch them dancing very much and it got into your trait/character

Maybe your memory is not the precise type so they coach you alot regarding to sequence. No worries when it comes to the strength and timing when comes to dance moves, you are their sibling after all.

Uploads dance covers of you 3 to YouTube

Either you are not the scaredy among the sibling or maybe you are also the scaredy cat lol

If you are not scaredy cat, they might look at you with amaze when you dared to watch horror movie, ALONE.

I dun think you would be the evil prankster sibling in the household. You might lean on the omg why can't they understand the beauty of horror

People definitely are going to "cannot believe their ears" when they hear you 3 conversing in both Korean and Japanese, switching the language back and forth

A/N: is was longer than i expected? I got info from kprofiles that they are both isfj. Which makes actually them are the quiet ones compare to other hyungs. Hope its not too boring for your preference. Anyways see you soon!
