#like i was paying attention to all the emotional and badass moments but i had no idea where they were going or why everything kept explodin

[poughkeepsies]

just rewatched the entire cruise ship arc with my mom so here's my takeaways

I missed so much the first time cause I was liveblogging these episodes deserve to be watched with full attention and all together

yeah the entire arc but ESPECIALLY 703 is legitimately phenomenal television I can't remember the last time I watched a cable show and felt genuinely impressed like this it truly rivaled the tsunami arc

I don't know what's in the ABC water but the humor in season 7 has been landing every single time these episodes were SO fucking funny without undermining the intensity of the scenes chef's kiss

my mom loved it so much we weren't even 2/3 of the way through 703 and she was asking me to rewatch these episodes again in a few days

Richard Haywood // NSFW Alphabet

Word count: 2k

Notes: Had to edit this on here TWICE because of a glitch. Big thank you to @uncleclam and the Goosecord for giving me some inspo and ideas on what to do with Richard. I love you guys.

Tw: mentions of blood, getting caught, injuries/injuring, and weaponplay.

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Aftercare? Richard Haywood? If anything, you'll be taking care of him. He might clean you up a little, but there's not much else in the cards regarding Richard and caring for you after. Like I said, you're the one probably taking care of him; cleaning his wounds and checking up on him. (IF he even lets you.) Half the time, though, the two of you are having a Quickie and don't have enough time to clean up. Richard often leaves right after.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Richard likes his face. He knows he's pretty, knows how to use his emotions (even if fake) to get what he wants. He's extremely expressive as a person, and he's rarely quiet about how he's feeling or thinking.

It's not a body part, but any scars he gets are also a good contender for his favorite things about himself. He thinks they make him look badass- more interesting that he really is and stronger as a person. He has a story for each one (of which, some may or may not even be true in the first place. It's very dramatic either way,) and he likes to brag.

He doesn't have a favorite part about you. Everything has his attention. Your voice, your hands. Eyes and arms and hair. He notices everything.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Richard likes getting it on you just to piss you off- He's a little bitch, and his favorite places to cum on are your face and chest. There's just something about making a mess out of you that does it for him, like it's another one of his ways of marking you and saying you're just his.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

As much of a bitchy little manipulator Richard tends to be with you, he's honest about what he wants. You'll know what he's craving for as soon as he wants it, and Richard'll go into plenty of detail about how he wants it. If he has anything to say about it, Richard's going to get what he wants eventually.

That being said, it's as of late that Richard's been thinking a little too much about watching another guy/woman fuck you. That, or a threesome is in order. He's just worried you'll say no, and is keeping it under wraps (for now, at least,) until he can find the right person for that.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Experienced at getting fucked, has no idea what the fuck he'd doing. He's, how I see it, terrible at sex. Much too focused on himself and the pleasure he's getting. If you want satisfaction back, you'll have to take things into your own hands. There's no real way of getting him to listen, so make him.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

He likes bending/being bent over. It doesn't matter how it's done, so long as it's rough, fast, and gets the job done. He likes it against the wall, or pressing you face first into a surface.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)

Richard can NOT take anything seriously. He gets bored easily, and suddenly having to be all serious does not capture his constant mind. Nothing about his obnoxious personality changes. Not for you, not for fucking, and certainly not for anyone else.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Pretty well groomed. He pays a ton of attention to his appearance (so much so that it's excessive after a certain point.) If it looks good and gives him a reaction, he'll do it. If you recommend something to Richard, he might pass it off at the time. But it'll stay at the back of his mind until he looks it up. Richard likes making subtle little changes to see if you'll notice or point them out.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Rarely intimate, and never romantic with Richard. For him, sex is just an act to relieve stress, or just something fun for him to experiment with and learn more about. Any kisses with Richard are ones of passion. He'll bite at your lips and suck on your tongue like he's trying to devour you, one hand roughly tugging at your hair to control the pace. He is, by no means, sappy. All Richard wants is to be stupid, get dicked down, and have fun.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Pretty often. And, while it's usually him dragging you off to deal with his arousal, it's not every time. There's not a spot that's off the table for him, either. In a public bathroom, your room, after breaking in. As soon as he's hard, Richard is off sneaking away to go deal with it.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Knifeplay and gunplay are the big ones. He loves the thrill of either having a gun to his head, or a gun to yours while the two of you are fucking. With knifeplay, he likes nicking or cutting you. Richard expects the same done to him, and he loves feeling up the scars later or showing them off to friends.

With the minor cutting and injuring of each other, there's bound to be blood. Richard's a sucker for the color red. He's nasty, and ranges anywhere from licking the blood and sweat off your body, to spreading it along your skin. If you're afab and on your period, there's nothing he likes more than eating you out and getting to taste your blood on his tongue.

Richard wants to be tied up. Make his restraints hurt, blindfold him, and use him.

Please degrade Richard. Not only does he like it, he demands it of you and degrades you right back. Mocking or teasing you to get what he wants is a common occurrence, and you're going to see it often. Don't give him anything to work with. He's a brat and should be treated as such.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Anything that has the risk of getting him caught? Yeah. Richard Haywood is a whore. If he's hard, he's GOING to make it your problem. On another note, he doesn't have a favorite spot because he's constantly trying out new places.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Doesn't take much. He naturally just gets hard often. He could be thinking about you, pleasure in a general way, or simply nothing at all. But you getting dominant or aggressive is a sure-fire way to excite him. Especially if said frustrations or anger is directed his way. Any arguments with him usually end up with angry sex.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

He hates anything vanilla. Haywood needs his sex rough, and the idea of getting domestic isn't one he's into. While he's willing to experiment, Richard won't start getting soft for you. That being said, he knows when to lay off the teasing after a point.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Richard is a receiver in all things. He's pretty terrible when it comes to giving anything back, and Oral is one of said things. There's too much teeth, not enough attention to the parts that matter, and it feels rushed- Like he's impatiently stalling and expects to be paid back. Does he even know where the clit is?

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Fast and rough; I doubt he has the patience for anything slow, and there's not a sensual bone in that man's body. But teasing him by refusing to go at his pace is something he's a sucker for every once in a while. It's torture for Haywood to not get what he wants, and the reward is so much greater once he finally does.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Quickies between you and Richard become regular, and he personally prefers them over actual sex. He's easily turned on by the thought of new ideas or acts, and someone's gotta help him deal with it, right? Potentially getting caught in public is another factor for him. It's just more attention to fuel his ego because, obviously, they're watching for a reason, right? Besides, quickies are just easier and faster than anything- They're a means to an end, and that's the point.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? Do they take risks? etc.)

Anything is game for Richard. Risk is what he likes, and thrill is something he finds great enjoyment in. He's impulsive and reactionary, with a constant need to feel wanted and applauded. A thrill or risk gives his life substance; Just about anything you can ask is something he's willing to try at least once.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Richard can easily pump out a bunch of quick rounds and still have the energy to live his life as (ab)normally as he possibly can. Wearing his dumbass out takes hours of time. Even then, he goes right back to normal after a little while.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

He loves to experiment- Anything he can try, he will. There's a list he's crossed things off of, and toys just bring so much more fun into the mix. They're a common occurrence in the bedroom, and both of you use them. Sometimes he'll use them out of bed, too. His favorite is using a vibrator in public- One that either you or him can control while watching the other squirm. He's such a bastard with the remote, taking the time to wait until you're doing something important or talking to turn up the settings. And even then he's refusing to let you cum, turning off the vibrator before you have the chance.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Oh, all the time. Out of bed, in it. He's such a brat- Constantly teasing you and bullying you around just to see your reaction. He loves the attention, how you interact with him. Every time it's something different- Usually joking just to get on your nerves. He wants you to yell or hurt him, react in the way that gives him the most pleasure. Just getting an answer from you is good enough for him- It doesn't always have to be sexual.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Pretty damn vocal. He doesn't shut up, constantly trying to fuck with you so you'll snap at him. You have to shut his dumbass up by force, so gag him. Either with your clothes or his, Richard isn't picky. You've gotten caught at least once because of the noise he can't stop making.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

I feel as though he bites people. Would jokingly bark or growl at someone. Constantly fake-lunges at you in an attempt to spook you.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Uncleclam has recently placed Richard at 11 cm (4.3 inches) in a post. And I'm in complete agreement with Richard being on the smaller side. I'd put him at a little under the average size as well.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Very, very high. If he thinks about blood too hard, he's sporting an erection. If Richard thinks about you too hard, he's hard too. He's constantly having to get himself off, and Richard isn't above dragging you out of class to help him.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

When he actually has the chance, it's about 50/50. Sometimes, it's a couple minutes. Other times, he just can't sleep and has too much energy. Richard Haywood is a honk shoo kind of snorer.

Not sure if your accept Gun x reader but here. The request is Reader is Gun's fiancée you can make Gun a cheater or an absentee but make Reader elegant badass person who doesn't give any f as she basically forced into the engagement like those type of cold face villainess.

The house is always felt warm to Gun when Reader is still living with Gun, but turn cold when Reader basically leaves.

It's Cold.

Female Reader.

Requested.

Request Rules.

Masterlist.

It failed.

The dinner date they were supposed to have ended in failure, it wasn't because someone was being an asshole or any of the situations that would have the date ended in failure.

It was a situation where nothing good came from it.

Gun didn't show up at the dinner date that [Name] planned for the both of them, she walked down the lonely, cold streets, trying not to cry and keeping her head up high.

It was hard, being the wife of Junggun Park, a notorious man, the bodyguard of Charles Choi and Crystal Choi. He was always absent, he didn't have time for her and when he did, he always acted like it was a big chore.

Always making up excusing even if he didn't have anything to do.

[Name] sat down on the park bench, her fingers grazing over the ring that Gun had proposed to her with. Instead of looking at it with so much love and care, looked at it with no emotions.

All her love for Gun had disappeared over the course of month, and now. It was the final straw, she was planning on divorcing Gun.

The moment he heads home, she will represent him the divorce papers and after that, she's free.

-

"What?"

Gun looked at her with shock. "I want a divorce." She repeated, he scoffed. "Why did you suddenly want a divorce?" He asked as he stood up.

"I think you know."

"I would know? How?"

[Name] raise an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "You have been making up excusing, whenever you have time for me. You don't spend time with me, it seems like I'm... some sort of ghost!" [Name] said, getting frustrated that she has to explain to Gun on why she wants a divorce.

Gun scoffed. "Are you serious? You know how busy I am, thanks to Charles and the four major crews!" [Name] kissed his teeth. "So? Goo always told me that you have spare time and whenever I asked if we could go on a date, you have some excuses to ready to pull out!"

"Oh? So you are asking Goo?"

"That's not the point! Are trying to find something else to not-"

"Why did you even ask Goo, when you can ask me?!"

"Are you serious! Have you been paying attention to what I said? Or are the only think that you heard was Goo name?!"

Gun scoffed as he walked away. "Where are you going?! We are not even finished!" [Name] said as Gun did not pay attention and continued to walk away, leaving his frustrated wife in the living room.

[Name] bit her lip but calmed her self down, she knew this would happen. Gun would be too stubborn to even listen to her, she kissed her teeth and went to the closet and took out the luggage and bag that she prepared earlier.

She left the paper and the ring on the table and walked out of the penthouse, leaving her life with Gun behind.

-

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Goo laughed at Gun demise, the black aired male had told him the situation which only ended Goo laughing.

Gun frowned. "Are you serious right now Goo?" He asked Goo snickered. "Yes I am, you literally let your wife get away." Gun scoffed and looked away.

"I knew I shouldn't have asked you."

"You are an idiot Gun."

Gun looked back at the blonde, he was in shock that Goo managed to get serious. "That's all I'm going to say to say to you." Goo leaned back against his chair, Gun sighed. "You love her, but you didn't appreciated her enough." He looked back at the blonde male and clenched his fist.

"Didn't appreciate her enough... huh..."

3 time mousey started getting feelings for Curtis 🤭

There were three distinct times you knew you were starting to fall head over heels with Curtis, and each seemed to be a little more chaotic than the last. There wasn’t a great amount of idealized moments like those in romantic books or movies, rather it was the irksome nature of the man that drove you to confront your feelings. That or it was the cuts and bruises, the ailments that befit his role as biker.

The first instance where you had to face your growing feelings had been when Curtis decided to host a club meeting at the house rather than the number of bars they’d owned. His biker friends and their girlfriends, wives or hookups had attended this meeting at his house and you were happy to remain ignorant to them all.

You’d happily grabbed buckets of Lego to play with Theo & James, never really wanting to pay them any mind. You’d rather build their Star Wars sets or cities rather than worry about what Curtis’ friends were up to, until one of the hookups had garnered your attention.

A single glance had allowed you to see the girl putting her hands on Curtis’ bicep, her nails clenching the material of his shirt. It was only a single touch and yet it fuelled your envy. You’d acted instinctively and stood from the Lego factory floor and begun stalking toward the woman without question.

Your inability to hide your emotions had sparked a smirk and amusement in Curtis, all of which had been extended when you glared daggers at the woman touching him, and with upmost degradation you’d ripped her hand off of him and threw out some excuse that was as empty as her head.

It was a cheap excuse and you scurried off not long after, managing to only hear Curtis speak your petname before you were gone.

The second had happened after Curtis had come home from a night out. What you thought had been him drinking had really been a case of him taking payment for a service he was owed, and by the time he had come around back to the house his hands were marred with cuts and bruises.

Despite how irritated you were by his nonchalant waving, by which he waved you off and told you not to worry, all it took was a sharp smack to his shoulder with the medical kit to get him to sit for you. He had kicked his boots off and found mirth at your sour expression and huff, he had spread his legs so you could get an unobstructed look at the few scrapes on his cheek and his hands, but what really pushed you over the line was the husky whimper of your name.

“Damn you!” You whacked him again in the shoulder while still being between his legs, your heart thrashing in your chest and your stomach afflicted by butterflies. “Sit still for one minute you aggravating man!”

“Mousey-” Curtis grinned, knowing how you were affected. “-am I bothering you?”

“Yes! Your entire body bothers me! Your voice bothers me! Your eyes—” You had cut yourself off and shut yourself up, steeling your reserve to finish the job.

And the third instance of you realizing you were falling in love with the man, was after he had hosted a party at his place, insisted you come and the introduced you as his nanny.

Nothing more. His nanny, which you were, was the absolute bare minimum of what you were.

Theo and James had called you their mama, Theo and James had thought of you as so much more but their irritating daddy called you his nanny.

The nerve struck you, it dug deep within your core and you wanted to lash out at him. With a glass of wine in you, you wanted to strike him across the back of the head and call him an idiot for trying to denote your relationship. It was irksome and it was another example of how that man made you want to reenact Rapunzel’a frying pan attack, and kiss him stupid.

“Don’t let him get away with that.” Pari had reinforced your feelings of annoyance with encouragement to get after him. “Come on, Mousey. Be the badass we know you can be.”

“Seriously, don’t let him negate you like that.” Nat had given you another boosting pep talk while cleaning up the bottom right corner of your lips and the lipstick that had slightly smudged. “Take charge, Y/N. stake your claim.”

You followed him as he moved toward the back door, your eyes narrowing in determination and drive. You caught him before he could leave, whipping him around to see his toying smirk face to face.

“Need something Mousey?”

“Shut up.” Your lips crashed into his, your claim made and your boldness surging through the kiss. “Don’t you ever refer to me as just your nanny again.”

You pulled away and pat his chest twice, turning away from him to exhale slowly.

Your relationship was officially turned on its head.

I know we all got our own issues with the finale of Murder Drones but while watching the big Anniversary video thats going on I realize I have a lot of ideas on how it should have ended-or at least how I might have done it. Under the cut is just some ideas, I am not a professional writer but I do write fanfiction from time to time and hey maybe I'll write some of these out. Also I am not claiming I am better than Liam or anyone at Glitch, just some thoughts.

-Thad, Lizzy and Khan should of had their own fight with J. In episode 7 the trio is set up like they're gonna get an epic side battle. Now worker drones of course were workers so I doubt Lizzy and Thad would be weak, sure weak against a murder drone but they have Uzi's gun that Khan rebuilt. I think they could have put up a easily decent fight against J, Lizzy and Thad as acting support while Khan (who is secretly a badass) takes her down a few notches just before the world goes to shit and they end up pulled down by gravity. It would be so cute to sorta see Lizzy also use her mean girl trait to verbally be mean to J just a little bit! Probably a fun quip about pigtails being out of style. Maybe also use a hand mirror to direct a off course shot from the railgun, no that wouldn't actually work shut up it's fun. -Khan should of been the one to give Uzi her gun. The whole series Khan is the absent father who doesn't pay attention but when he finally has to in episode 2 onward he's more attentive with like telling her about the collars and the camp. Then in episode 7 he just seems very much prepared for what's going on-he needed more scenes to show he's trying to be a better dad and maybe even get back to what he used to be before Nori died. A sweet moment between him and Uzi, her realizing he rebuilt her totally sick railgun as a way to see that he accepts her for who she is would have very much tied up their relationship issue in a big pretty bow. -Nori should have absolutely apart of the final fight. She is so under utilized despite having fought her Solver daughter before, she doesn't even need a big part just a moment. On that topic I would have also liked a quick shot of the Railgun from Thad or Lizzy, it has too much of a one time use and someone could have easily picked it up the second it was thrown out of the way. I love to see characters all come together and have their parts. -Cyn was defeated too easily and I would have liked a final show off between just her and Uzi maybe in the caverns bellow after Cyn possibly broke the ground and sent them both tumbling down. A real big 'I'm not fucking around anymore' from Cyn as Uzi overcomes her for a final time. I don't hate how she's now the host and containing the solver but I very much would have liked a explanation on how it all works. -J honestly either should of had more focus on that 'No escape even in death' bit or had a redemption. Not all characters need to survive or even become good, sometimes they can't get out of their ways. But that above line tells me all about why J refuses to cut herself off from Cyn. She's scared. Scared of being stuck in a tormenting loop. At least if she's working for her she wont be in constant emotional and physical pain for every iteration that Cyn decides to clone. She needed an emotional scene, a proper outburst, of why she's so scared. Honestly J just needed more scenes in general. Especially with Tessa and maybe even the scene where Cyn uses Tessa as a skin suit. Super dark but hooo boy I'd be terrified if I saw a friend suddenly get turned into a suit like how the hell do you even fight back against that??? Anyway that's just my thoughts. May or may not write a one shot, I'd re-write the whole show if I had the confidence but I'm more suited to short stories.

Digimon Tamers - Episode 50

Meh, I didn't like this episode. It was just kind of boring and felt like a repeat of the last episode. I think they gave this show too many episodes so a lot of these finale episodes just feel like padding. Some fat trimming was needed.

Notes:

Takato's parents being like "that's my boy" as Dukemon flew off into the distance came off as very funny/silly to me

It's a really good thing that Culumon stuck by Juri. It gave her someone to snap her out of her funk and someone for her to fight for when Culumon's in peril.

Why does a little Leomon hologram suddenly show up on Juri's digivice? What's that supposed to mean...?

Really not sure what that giant blue and orange blob they all flew into to use the red card was supposed to be or where it came from. Is that something the adults created?

The side characters are all kinda flopping as usual. Kenta and Hirokazu show up randomly only to be interrupted by the authorities who were looking for them (thanks for nothing, boys!) Meanwhile, Ryo interrupts the main trio to be like "And I'm here too!" (I don't dislike Ryo, he's just very flat as a character). I did kind of like the moment between Shiuchun and Lopmon where Lopmon is sad that they can't digivolve to ultimate. At least that scene had some heart to it.

So I haven't been paying attention to digivice colors at all and was surprised to see that Ruki's is blue and Takato's is yellow. I remember that Takato's shattered at one point and used to be red. Did it turn yellow when he got it back? I guess I kinda thought Ruki's would be yellow since that's Renamon's main color...(since Jian's is green for Terriermon). Also, also, Ryo's is blue too but the design is different. I'd like to see a behind-the-scenes explanation for these choices.

Main reason I thought this episode was stupid is a new threat appears from the digital world, but like...why did we need this? It's design is much worse than the creepy "goddess" monster from the previous episode. It's just a big blob with an angry mouth. When Ruki said "I'm afraid," I didn't buy it because it didn't look intimidating to me at all. It also has scythes haphazardly coming out of its body in a way the just looks janky. It feel like there was very little thought put into this design. Why couldn't they just fight the goddess monster? This is dumb! (Also...dat early 2000s CGI lol).

(It's pretty obvious to me which one looks cooler)

Mako and Ai moment was sweet. Interesting that they share a digivice...that's a new development. I'd feel kind of annoyed if that happened to me and everyone else go their own partner/digivice. It's purple, because Impmon.

I'm pretty sure there's no deep meaning behind it but I wish they'd stop putting Juri in a crucified position. It's just overdone in anime lol

I thought the opening theme was misused in this episode. Save that for the ending! It just didn't have any emotional impact here.

Grani's sacrifice also had very little emotional impact since he was just barely a character (only started talking this episode). I like Dukemon's new look, but I wish the wings didn't glow so much that they have zero detail. He looked more badass in the title card than in the actual episode.

Whelp! Only one episode to go. Very excited to see this one wrapped up. Mostly excited for whatever after-the-battle/epilogue stuff they throw at us since I've found most of the battle scenes to be kinda dull. Onto the next!

Nihilus Rex, Ch. 36: Truth and Consequences

Trigger warning on this chapter for emetophobia. Because shit just got very very real in the previous chapter, and we are not going to pretend our girl is a stone cold badass yet.

Shoutout to @baelpenrose for tag teaming this chapter with me so we could get the right balance with all the characters while keeping this very much from Lash's POV.

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

“Phoenix”, Fall Out Boy

Lash

I bolted out of the office we were using and onto what had been the sales floor before vomiting.  A part of me in the back of my brain was very proud of that, but the rest of me was horrified.

Children.  Children had died as a result of our gamble.

When my stomach was mercifully empty, I started looking for cleaning supplies, numbly thinking through everything.  Nils had warned me several weeks ago that I couldn’t do this and keep my hands clean. And I had ordered the deaths of the men who had fire-bombed the coffee shop, killing my family and maiming more of them. My hands aren’t clean, I kept reminding myself as I tried to clean up the evidence of my emotions.

“Lash.” I heard Nils over my shoulder, and held a hand up to stop him.

“Back up. I’m cleaning up sick. It smells awful, but I’m almost done.”

“Lash.”

“I’m getting it together, just give me a minute.  And don’t bother telling me not to act like this in front of Gray, clearly I know that or I wouldn’t have bolted from the office.”

“Nah, he’s busy on something else. He’s not paying attention to us.” Nils’ voice was sickly detached. “He’s a frighteningly good tactician, we picked well. I was impressed by how quickly he picked up command and control of the firefight around the church.” His voice sounded distracted. “As an aside, I hope you didn’t get too far into cleaning up because I may throw up in a moment.”

The caretaker part of my brain took over and I pointed at the bucket I had not yet tossed the rags in. “Puke in there, please. I just started bleaching so we don’t invite ants.  Don’t worry, I plan to toss the rags in there and take the entire thing to the nearest dumpster.”  My automatic reactions kicked in after a second and I realized my flaw. “Third closest dumpster… I don’t want the people living here finding that when they go diving.”

I listened to the noises Nils made for a few minutes, and when they seemed to have paused, I sighed, not even lifting my forehead from where it was propped on a knee. “Nine kids… what have we done?”

Nils took a breath. “Drove a wedge between the chaos fascists and the iron-edged boot of the state.” His voice was rattled, uncertain. “I hate it, Lash. But what we just did was…it’ll save more lives in the long run. How many kids in your community get shot by cops for being a little on the darker side? Or…adjacent communities? How many die in school shootings? Whatever the fallout of what we just did, it’s going to do something about one of those problems. Either it’s going to brutalize the police and limit their ability to continue attacking communities of any kind, or it’s going to actually defang the gun lobby enough to limit mass shootings. We can’t undo what we just did. All we can do now is make it mean something.” 

I couldn’t tell if he believed himself, or if he was trying to convince himself as much as he was trying to convince me. Given that I had promised not to rip into him when we had a difference of opinion, I just sat in silence with my thoughts. Realistically, the more vocal political public would bend over backwards to explain why this was different, why this one mattered more than the others.  And maybe some change would come from it, but it wouldn’t happen on a legislative scale - but in public opinion this was the time to go all in.

I stood with a heavy breath. “That bucket is ten gallons. I’m going back before Gray gets suspicious.”

“Lash - “

“No. You get it out out here, behind the scenes, just like I did. I will be on my best behavior. Swear.”  I didn’t even wait for a response before I returned to the room we were using as our base of operations, slipping my headset on with a professional tone.

“Gray, talk to me.”

“Conflict is managed, Phoenix. Bishop says you and Nihilus are going to begin planning a ground game to move support among those shocked by this tragedy.” The last word lilted slightly, sardonically. “Begin creating a ground swell for our movement. By all accounts your speciality is more prepared for that than my own.”

Closing my eyes, I resigned myself to making a deal with the devil. “You would think, but I need you, specifically, for the next part.  Pick or create a personality, I don’t particularly care. But start drawing comparisons to shootings on black and brown communities. We need more people, and if we want to avoid suspicion, we are going to need some who aren’t already in the far right pipeline.  I know that is the last thing you want to hear, and I get it, but we need to court both sides if we want to stay under the radar.” As much as I disliked Gray, he could argue with himself online better than anyone we had on hand - or even than I had offhand.

“No, Bishop implied something about this to me. No, I have…communications with some black nationalist groups who arm themselves against police. I will start with them - that persona is probably the easiest to work with. Begin networking with your type, at your end,” Gray’s voice was almost bored. 

My heart stopped. My type? We had been careful not to connect Elaskhi with the Phoenix Queen.  The blood in my veins ran like ice.

Before I could say anything, Nils stepped back into the room and tapped his headset. “Good planning. Bishop can help Phoenix coordinate with the more relief-focused organizations that lean more independent and less politically-radical, but anti-establishment. I’ll be checking in with all three of you. Gray, maintain your communication with the right wing gun activists and begin building bridges with black nationalist gun rights groups. Emphasis: the state and corporations are the enemy, all our differences are secondary.” He slapped his headset off again and turned to me. “We’ll figure out what the hell he meant by ‘your type,’ in a minute.”

I re-ran the conversation in my head. Applying the most charitable perspective I could make up to it, I tried to mollify Nils. “He could mean brown people, or he could mean climate and health activists. The ‘hippy dippy’ crowd.  The sooner we know which he meant, the better.” Deep down, I was praying to every deity I believed in that it was the latter.  If Gray had figured out who I was, this was much more serious than we’d thought.

I bit the bullet and unmuted. “Gray… In the year of our lord 2017, what the hell do you mean by ‘my people’?”

“Pakistani-Indian, second or third generation immigrant to the US. Don’t worry, your security was flawless, your accent is just readable. I did human intelligence, remember? Accents are something I had to get really good at distinguishing. And hey, can’t be all bad - your ancestral land is what, second most populous in the world? Clearly you’re doing something smarter than we are.” 

Trying to avoid giving Gray any ideas, I bit back the automatic response about lack of reproductive care and sexual assault rates. “That doesn’t necessarily mean I know everyone or anyone in either India or Pakistan.”

“Don’t insult my intelligence. Immigrant communities in this country stick together, and we haven’t gone international yet. Odds are, there’s people in your community that have ties to further-flung Pakistani or Indian immigrants. And your activism definitely gives you ties to other groups you can talk to.”

I wanted, very desperately, to deny his suggestion.  However, that would involve a big fat lie that literally no one would believe.

Bishop cut in when he saw Nils open his mouth. “To some degree. Not, perhaps, to the degree you imagine. Getting broader community support following this - especially given the backlash that will follow, both official and unofficial, will be a lift, but not impossible.” 

Nils nodded. “Then we have at least a start. And we need to have a breath before we do something this high profile again - Phoenix and I have a gambit to get the FBI off our tails coming up, but they aren’t going to be drawn off forever. They’ll come around again eventually. We need to get them officially spouting the line that we’re a series of unrelated events as long as possible and not looking into greater significance until we have the ground work to make a real power grab.” 

I pressed a hand on my upset stomach and forced the words out, knowing it was for the best. “And that includes framing some people if needs be. I’m willing to go down for a cause, but not until it has enough traction to carry on without me.”

Gray surprised me by adding his assent. “That is the only intelligent move, so very much what I expected from someone like you.”

I wanted to object, but Bishop shrugged and nodded apologetically.

Apparently I needed to get braced for racism that expected more of me, not less.

Then Nils, speaking in the persona of Nihilus. “If we are committing, then the situation is this. No one here is expendable until the endgame. We need a few more people to round out the set we’re playing with, and we need to be looking into finding people for that role. Whatever happens - it isn’t going to be pretty. It will involve more of what we’ve already done. But we’ll have the chance to change the world the way we’ve always hoped.” 

I wondered for a moment if he knew how Gray was digesting that information. It definitely wasn’t even close to how I would have wanted.

What’s your personal underrated Feyre and Feysand moment. Like it baffles you that it’s rarely being talked about?

Pewww, that's a hard question. I have to think bc I do not remember everything.

Okay, first of all: Rhys calling Feyre Love in acotar. Like, okay buddy, you can have my heart. It's all yours you sexy mf

When Rhys started crawling towards Feyre at the end of Acotar and she's like "Love. The answer to the riddle is love."

The hatred that Feyre felt towards Tamlin in the beginning of ACOWAR. Please reread the first 10 chapters and pay attention to her comments. And how she uses her powers to feel when someone is nearing. She barely trained AND SHE CAN DO THAT?

Feyre throwing a knife at Tamlin at the end of acomaf AND when Tampon tried to grab her and Feyre winnowed out of the way and he walked into Rhys's fist. HAHAHA THATS TEAMWORK

Every single interaction in acofas. They are so domestic and you can FEEL the love dripping out of every word they exchange.

+ the Acofas wall scene. GO FEY, FUCK YOUR MAN

RHYS FEELING PROUD WHEN AZRIEL TALKS ABOUT FEYRES FLYING PROGRESS OMG I'm gonna die that was so precious

The fact that Feysand probably had a thousand domestic interactions during acomaf that we didn't get to see. There were parts where it jumped two weeks and SJM only hinted that they had dinners alone or the scene where Feyre uses her powers to throw a buckets worth of water at Rhys after he came home and was like "One hell of a high lord?"

THEIR NOTES and how they opened up to each other in their own time. ADORABLE PRECIOUS PERFECTION

Rhys being liked "I missed you as my mate but I most missed you as my friend" after she comes back from spring in acowar 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

FEYRE FEEDING IANTHE TO THE WEAVER AND THE FOREST PARTING FOR HER! BADASS! THAT'S MY HIGH LADY! and how Feyre instantly went back to the Suriel 💔

And how smart Feyre is. People seem to say she is illiterate (which she isn't anymore you dumbfucks) and that means she is stupid. She watched her father in his office because that was fun for her. She is INCREDIBLY smart. It's not out of nothing that she does the Night Courts budget. She has the brain but nobody bothered to look.

And that Feyre couldn't read the clock in acotar because same.

And nobody seems to talk about how perfectly Feyre can control her emotions when her family is in danger? She puts that all to the side and is ready to burn the world down to get them to safety. Let's not forget that when Azriel said he's going to get Elain, that Feyre was instantly like "I'm coming with you" and was already working on a plan.

PEOPLE ALSO SEEM TO FORGET THAT IN ACOWAR SHE WAS STRUCK BY AN ARROW ON THE ICE? Girly pulled that thing out like it was nothing and continued to run.

I didn't plan to put an acosf scene in here but Feyre wanted to do Nestas room together with Nesta who refused. So she did it on her own and when Nesta saw her room at the river house for the first time she was like "It's exactly how I would have done it." Feyre knows Nesta way better than most make it out to be.

And Feyres empathy in every situation. She's mad and still she's like "I do understand where they are coming from." girl, they did you dirty and you still try to understand. I love that!

And her facepalming Rhys when he tells her was in the human lands alone. Mommy.

I think that's all for now. There probably a million things I forget but okay

[emeraldbabygirl]

I’ve drunken like 6?? cups of coffee in the past 13 hours and the last hour I decided it was a good idea to watch some xdinary heroes and I don’t know if my reactions were genuine or affected by all the coffee cause if I drink a lot I get all shaky and shit but um literally hi I’m so sorry I can’t use emojis cause I’m on my computer but “as our lord and savior Mickey Mouse would say, that shit was bussin on god on god. They prepped, they cooked, they served, they ate it up and left no crumbs, they licked their plates clean and then they did the dishes and put them away girlies WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING. 

I can say it again ok so in Strawberry cake I spy with my little eye and FUCKING SKIRT THAT’S “A SLAY” AS THE KIDS THESE DAYS SAY. The power this group has musically is crazy, it’s “beyond periodT” I’m in awe, I’m screaming, crying, shaking, rolling on the floor, throwing up (obvi not rn cause I already did that) I’m so beyond impressed with these kiddos I’m not like super into all these new groups as much as maybe I thought I would be and I do love the bands and things but I wasn’t going to pay attention to these kids cause I was so tired of the groups that I already listen to and I just didn’t think I’d have the energy to keep up with more but I’m so like beyond describing and processing words in my brain? Like idk it’s beyond incredible like JUNGSU his opening lines in Happy Death Day caught me off guard and I couldn’t believe what he was doing with his voice and then in Strawberry cake Mr. Joo’s first set of lines I’m still not processing how he did that with his voice and maybe I’m overexaggerating but I’ve never heard that sound from any vocalist I had no idea he could do that it’s sick hands down and the bass in that song IS FUCKING SICK I LOVE IT and bro. 

Ok so X-Mas is insane the same thing with the vocals like whateva Idk how they do it, Mr. Joo and Gaon are insane the way their vocals and lines hit perfectly it was such a new sound I’ve never heard in my entire life I’m diggin the rock elements. I’ve seen the live clips of Pirate and Tomboy and Hellavator it’s insane and very emotional they have a good sound and it’s getting better and idk how they are topping themselves for each comeback Haircut was an oddly great song and the vibe these kids have rn and band versions of song def hit different obvi y’all know how I feel about It’s Live but the way they executed Tomboy idk man and idk how but Jungsu’s vocals, the feeling he has??? the way he..okay shut up he covered Woojin’s lines in Hellavator I know damn well he did cause it immediately clicked as I zoned in on Woojin when that song came out okay I ain’t censoring shit he covered Woojin’s lines and this kid pulled at my heartstrings he sounded so much like Woojin to me it’s insane say what you want I do not give a dying mooseseses’s last shit Jungsu has amazing vocals, him and Mr. Joo have range I bet they can do all kinds of tricks with their singing skills it’s so cool to hear and watch they way these guys are just doing what they do.

Anyway don’t hate, don’t eat my ass over this okay anyway the styling for the Haircut era is elite, it is key, it is a moment, it is iconic, a slay whatever the fuck you wanna call it I’m obsessed. I’m obsessed with Gaon and his hair that matches with Mr. Joo and obsessed with the fits and the FUCKING HAIR HORN I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE HOW BADASS THEY ALL LOOK WITH THEIR FUNKY DEVIL HORNS THE BARBER SHOP FITS, THE BLACK LEATHER TRENCHES THE SKIRTS THE STYLIST DESERVES RAISES, COOKIES, EXPENSIVE DINNERS AND TO BE SUNG A LULLABY AND TUCKED IN AND KISSED ON THE FOREHEAD GOODNIGHT I DO NOT CARE if I am being over dramatic or whatever I am OBESSESSED WITH WHAT THEY DID TO MR. JOO’S HAIR IN THE HAIR AND X-MAS MV I THINK HE LOOKS VERY GOOD AND STUNNING JUST STANDS OUT maybe it’s cause I love and appreciate a man with locks AND BY LOCKS IM TALKIN BOUT HIS HAIR OK HIS FLOWING GORGEOUS HAIR DO NOT TWIST MY WORDS I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL SCREAM. I DO NOT MEAN DREADLOCKS. Not me getting mad gag me with a spoon. Men who grow their hair out and take good care of it and aren’t afraid to have braids in it and ribbons and clips and cute trinkets like what Mr. Joo has is a mother beautiful thing and I respect and appreciate that I’m so angy now. He looks good I love what he’s doing with his hair and love that the stylists aren’t cutting it or doing anything to distract or take away from his complete look and style I think everything they are doing with his hair as far as style, color and accessories only compliments his looks/features and makes him quite the attractive lad AND NO WHEN I SAY ATTRACTIVE IN THIS CONTEXT IT IS 100% INNOCENT AND A COMPLIMENT. WHY DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERY FUCKING THING. Also I think the braids that O.de?? is showing off look great it’s funky and reminds me of Mingi in his Pirate King era. I very much miss Junhan’s floofy hair.

I’m hoping to see some different colors and styling techniques on Mr. Joo before they chop his hair off. I’ve seen so many colors and cute hairstlyes and accessories that I would love to see him demonstrate I think he would pull it off. BUT I DON’T WANT TO SEE LICORICE HAIR ON HIM I WILL VOMIT JYP PLEASE DO NOT AYNO HIM. Kiddo’s got beautiful hair please don’t ruin his life with some stupid dye job or shave his head I want no George the egg I want no neon green mullet I want no bald Jooyeon at the age of 25 with permanent green or grey hair because you bleach the hell out of his head. I want no Changmin Triangle hair either it only looked good on Changmin. I’m sorry. 

Anyway gag me with a spoon, Junhan’s solo in Hellavator. I’m tired. TL:DR Xdinary Heroes is doin some cool stuff and it’s fun to hear how versatile they are. Def looking forward to future songs I def think these kiddos are going places and since they are a band it’s just really nice to hear rock vibes some bands have like the “k-rock” specific sound which is fine, wouldn’t be opposed to a full metal album lol jk that would make their throats bleed. AND I KNOW PEOPLE AND GROUPS ARE PROBABLY SO TIRED OF THIS TREND BUT would love to hear them cover at least one Queen song that isn’t Bohemian Rhapsody. BUT NOT FAT BOTTOMED GIRL I’M SORRY THAT SONG IS JUST NOT MADE FOR THEM IT’S TOO PERF. Kiss has some songs that are bangers that would be cool to see covered by these guys also maybe David Bowie. HEAR ME OUT. TWISTED SISTER. We’re not gonna take it is the perfect song for Mr. Joo we’ve gotten a little taste of some unexpected scream vocals. HELENA WOULD MAKE ME CRY PLEASE. 

THE SCORPIANS. ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICAINE. I know. I know it’s a lot, omg not me writing a list of songs I want them to cover sksskksks I just think they can experiment and pull a lot of songs off ya’know I think they would eat it up and poop it out and it would go back into the environment and help with the ecosystem, really restore and help heal the ozone, help save the polar ice caps, restore our natural forest and solve the water pollution problems, solve world hunger, save endangered species. stop wars and bring peace to our planet that we call home affectionately as they should, bring back the salmon and help keep wildlife and ocean creates safe, cut down on fossils fuels help improve science and technology everyone can love each other and get along and share and give back to the Mother and I wish I could bake a cake out of happiness and everyone would eat it an be happy. 

I am so sorry I didn’t mean to write an entire fUCKING ESSAY. It’s the coffee. These kids are cool and I appreciate and respect what they are bringing to the table as long as it’s not a green bean casserole okay I’m done now :)

Book #109: - Completed: The Buddha and the Badass – Vishen Lakhiani

This is the second book from Vishen after the code of extra-ordinary mind. He starts with disclaimer that ideas in the book may challenge the reader’s existing long held beliefs.

Awareness sets you free. New ideas that you never even had a clue of, are gateways to becoming a bigger, better, more powerful version of yourself.

I found Vishen’s claim accurate that more than business this book is about transforming the way you work from the inside out—and how that internal change can ripple out to change the world.

Few Key Points –

Two Worlds Outer & Inner – We pay way too much emphasis on the outer like our jobs, careers, culture, rituals, and shared meaning with others and pay way too less attention to inner world like our hopes, fears, aspirations, dreams, daily cascade of emotions.

Mental Models – Mental model is made up of your beliefs. And your beliefs are the master switch for your life. That’s because reality is subjective.

We don’t need to know how to achieve an outcome. Forget knowing HOW. All we need to know is WHY and WHAT for doing it or at least to begin.

Three Questions while building Goals – 1) What Experiences do I want to have? 2) How do I want to grow? 3) What can I contribute from my experiences and growth?

Real success is actually much simpler than most of us have been led to believe. There is nothing you have to get to or be in order to have finally made it. The secret formula is this.  Growth = Success

Few Quotes –

As long as you are growing (by your own measure) you’ll be fulfilled.

Suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds meaning. – Viktor Frank

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. - Buckminster Fuller

Everything Everywhere All At Once

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” is a technical wonder with random humor done right and an emotional core so strong that it left me misty-eyed in my theater.

Evelyn Wang has never really amounted to anything in her life. Her laundromat is being audited by the IRS and her husband wants a divorce. While she’s going to meet her IRS inspector, Evelyn meets an alternate version of her husband from an alternate universe inhabiting her current husband’s body. He warns her that an omniversal being named Jobu Tupaki is killing Evelyns from all the universes in search of 'the one'.

Just a disclaimer, I’m writing this review after watching the movie two times. I usually write my reviews based on my initial viewing of a movie, but I really felt like I had to watch this movie a second time. That’s because the theater I went to had a bunch of rude people sitting right next to me. Not only were they sitting in my seat when I came in and asked me to show my ticket, but they were also squirming around the seats and making dumb commentary about every little thing. To make things worse, they left in the middle of the movie saying that the movie was way too weird for them. But that’s beside the point. My second viewing really opened my eyes to all the things I missed and made the experience so much better. I think the big thing that stands out initially is the action. There’s a fight scene that happens with Waymond at the beginning of the movie that had me insanely impressed. It’s one of those rare fight scenes that aren’t just well-rehearsed, but also showcases the acrobatic skills of the actor. The same could be said about Michelle Yeoh. She has a lot of badass fight scenes along with every stuntman extra they hired. The biggest thing this movie showcases is its strange humor. A lot of the time, it feels like random humor, but that’s the point of the movie. It’s supposed to be random because of what’s going on within the story. There were a lot of moments I was laughing because I couldn’t believe what I was watching. The story is complex, yet it’s told in a way that makes it easy to follow if you’re paying attention. It weaves themes of depression and living up to your fullest potential while marrying them to an Asian-American family archetype. Everything random suddenly starts making sense once you realize what the message of the movie is. All of that culminates into one of the most emotional climaxes I have ever seen in my life. I never thought I would be tearing up in my theater after watching the first half of this movie. It has a way of sneaking up on you and turning one of the most comical characters into the most endearing. I love this movie and I’m sure if you go in with an open mind and an open heart, you can learn to love this movie too.

The Brothers Reacting to a Tattooed MC (SFW)

Aw, you’re so sweet Anon! This is a lovely ask! I’m so sorry that you’re family weren’t receptive to your new tattoo. That’s terrible, and I hope this makes you feel a bit better!

So, I’m assuming you meant an MC with a large tattoo on their back? If not, feel free to tell me and I’ll make a new hc! This hc has a reader with a large back tattoo and/or multiple tattoos. Since this has all 7 brothers, each one will be shorter than my usual hcs.  (Also, I’m posting a rules page soon, so stay tuned!)

This is SFW, with a GN! Reader. Reblogs, likes, and comments are greatly appreciated!

The Brothers Reacting to a Tattooed MC (SFW)

Lucifer:

To be honest, it doesn’t really make a difference to him.

He didn’t fall in love with you for your physical looks, so it doesn’t really affect him much.

That doesn’t mean he won’t find it lovely though.

He admires the time you had invested in this, along with the fact you felt so strongly about a particular subject/object, that you had it permanently inked on your body.

If you feel self-conscious about it, he won’t stare, but his eyes stray to it from time to time, admiring the details of it.

But if not, congratulations! You have the avatar of pride enamored with your tattoo(s).

If you’re ever stressed, he’ll sit you in his lap and trace over your tattoo(s), attempting to calm your nerves.

All the while whispering words of affirmation.

Any time you’re feeling insecure of your tattoo(s), Lucifer’ll make sure to praise you, something rare from him.

“My love, your tattoo(s) is/are a part of you, and it’s/they’re a stunning piece of art. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise, it’s a testament of your conviction. Be proud of yourself, and never feel ashamed of your tattoo(s).”

Mammon:

Now, I hc that Mammon has tattoos other than his demon markings

So he probably wouldn’t be caught off guard, as he’s used to seeing humans and demons with full body tattoos, or tattoos that take up a large area on their body.

However, that doesn’t mean he won’t react

As soon as he sees it, he’s swooning

If you’re ok with it, he’ll be bragging to whoever would listen about how strong you were, and how awesome you looked.

Definitely the type to get a matching tattoo with you if you ever want to get another.

If your tattoo(s) are of a crow or feathered wings, he swears he falls deeper in love with you.

Well, if that’s even possible

Any crow/avian wing tattoos, would make him just melt, knowing you have his symbolic animal tattooed on yourself.

If you ever show any insecurity about your tattoo(s), you bet he’ll do his best to soothe them.

The moment he picks up on your insecurities, he ramps up the affection and love he shows for your ink.

“Ya ain’t serious, right? Yer stunning, better than any other piece a’ art! There ain’t no way I’m lettin’ anyone tell ya yer not tha most beautiful person in all three realms.”

Leviathan:

He’s awestruck when you show him your tattoo(s).

You’re like his favorite action anime protagonist!

Levi is just in disbelief at the fact he has such a badass partner.

He adores any type of tattoos, but one as large and powerful as this?

Oh he has heart eyes-

Especially if you had a scaly/reptilian one, it’d make him nearly faint in delight

We all know he loves reptiles -gestures to Henry-

A reptiles had always been seen as symbols of reality and power, and he admires you greatly for having one tattooed on you.

Whenever he cosplays, he’ll ask if you’d like to cosplay with him as a tattooed character.

He’ll fawn over how incredible you look, bragging on his Devilgram about how kickass his lover is.

Your cosplays together always end up with thousands of likes and comments, fans adoring how much of a power couple the both of you are.

You notice, that after you show him your tattoo, that he starts playing with tattooed characters.

Upon asked why, he responded with,

“W-well...you’re really cool, and tattooed characters remind me of you. Badass and someone who deserves respected. Even when you’re not physically with me, playing with a tattooed character makes it feel like you’re playing with me.”

Satan:

He’s intrigued and fascinated immediately

What’s the symbolism behind it?

What motivated you to get it done?

He’ll try and memorize every detail, wanting to remember how it looks against your skin.

But if you’re uncomfortable with the origins of the tattoo(s) or don’t want to talk about it, he won’t pry.

If you want, he’ll give you essays upon essays of knowledge on it’s spiritual meaning, and what past cultures had those marks for.

He’ll be sure to have some questions for you as well.

‘some’. By some, he means dozens, maybe hundreds of questions

He’d absolutely write poetry about how your tattoo(s) crawl across your skin, painting a masterpiece.

Any time insecurities pop up about it, he’ll be sure to dispel them immediately.

“My love, your tattoo(s) are a wonderful part of you. They’re/It’s a part of you, and I love you wholeheartedly. With or without the tattoo(s), I fell in love for you for your personality and intelligence. That will never change, so don’t think you’re less-than because of your tattoo(s).”

Asmodeus:

Oh you bet he’s going to fawn over it.

As soon as he finds out, expect to be showered in praise and words of adoration.

Complimenting how well it matches your color palate, outfit aesthetic, hair color, etc.

Immediately takes you out for clothes that show it off, and compliment the style of it.

How could he not want to show off such pretty mark(s) on his lover!

Absolutely supports you all the way, and would love to throw in his two cents if you ever decide to get another tattoo.

If you’re up for it, he’ll get you a page in Majolish, maybe even the front cover!

For sure, wears clothing to match your tattoo(s), and does his nails a similar style.

He’d even commission designers for special pieces, that mimic the design of your tattoo, and expose it, showing the world your beauty.

Definitely the type to take selfies with you and make aesthetic boards of you including your tattoo.

He adores you, and every part of you, no matter what.

“Darling you are more beautiful than anyone who criticizes you! All those haters of yours are just jealous, hon!”

Beelzebub:

In S3, he has one while in the human world, so he’d probably find it pretty cool that you have one(+).

I hc Beel to doesn’t care much about physical looks, so he probably wouldn’t pay it/them any special attention.

Why would he think of you differently because of it?

He’s fairly curious though.

Doesn’t it hurt? How long did it take for you to get it done?

Either way, he sees it/them as a nice mark on your skin, but not something he’d make a fuss about.

Another one of the boys who would get a matching tattoo with you, after all, he doesn’t mind tattoos, so if you wanted to get a matching one, he wouldn’t say no.

One of the types to absentmindedly stare at your tattoo, unaware that he’s staring.

If it’s of food, he may or may not drool at the sight of it, so you may not want to let it near his mouth, lest he accidentally bite you.

He’s more perceptive to people’s emotions than others give him credit for, and does his best to comfort you.

Any time you’re slighted for your tattoo(s), he’ll leap to your defense asap.

“A tattoo doesn’t define a person. Having your skin inked doesn’t make you less than anyone else. Whether you have one or not, it doesn’t give people the right to judge you based on that.”

Belphegor:

Honestly? He’s pretty neutral on this

He doesn’t really care if you do or don’t have a tattoo, and won’t pay it any special attention unless you ask.

He loves you because of your personality, your physical appearance had nothing to do with it.

Your determination, patience, and tenderness are traits that attracted him to you.

But if you have a tattoo of anything cow related...

He may feel a bit smug

His lover has his symbolic animal tattooed on themself, how could he not be?

It practically screams that they’re taken, and taken by him.

Now he doesn’t have to worry about other demons trying to take you from him.

Sometimes, if you’re cuddling, he’ll trace your tattoo(s), a way to soothe you, on the chance you’re stressed/anxious.

Tbh, it calms him down as well.

Knowing that you’re physically there, keeps his anxieties about you leaving at bay.

Probably the brother that is most angry when someone insults your appearance.

“Y/n, others have no right to judge you based on your physical appearance. It’s your body, and no one else should control how you make yourself look.”

jujutsu sorcerer!reader; haikyuu boys 

requested by anon(s): haikyuu boys with a crush on a jujutsu sorcerer, and being saved by them

pairings; hinata shōyō x reader, kuroo tetsurō x reader, tsukishima kei x reader, kozume kenma x reader 

genre; fluff

warnings; some mentions of death

hinata shōyō

to hinata, you probably stand out more than you’d think

idk why but i love love love the concept of hinata having like a completely opposite s/o kagehina. as in, i can see him so well with an alt!s/o or a goth!s/o. i can’t explain it it just works so well in my head

the fact that you were so mysterious and quiet really, and i mean really, peaked his interest. unlike literally any other character, he is nosy, and he wants to know why and how and when and who you are, so he does make effort to talk to you often

you always kinda just smile at him and give him one word replies. it’s not that you don’t like him, it’s more that you’re here for a reason and you don’t want him to get caught up in the middle of it all. you’d hate for something to happen to someone as pure as him

your attitude towards does not throw him off in the least. he’ll just want to get to know you even more

one of his upperclassmen, like tanaka or noya, probably notice and try telling him things about you to kinda back him off of you because they’re scared of you lowkey 

ik i used this scenario before but it fits hinata too; we all know he stays late to practice often, so it isn’t a surprise or it isn’t too odd that he stays yet another day until the sun has long since set. you’d only known he was in the volleyball club in passing, but you didn’t know him well enough to anticipate that he’d be in the gym this late

the most remote place, and the closest too, that you could think of at literally nine pm was the boys’ gymnasium, so you’d led the curse there in hopes of driving it away from other people around it. you hadn’t expected that you’d be leading the curse straight to another target 

hinata was the only one there, too, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to attack him 

one moment, he’s just tossing the ball against the wall and receiving it, the next the gymnasium is being broken into by some creature from above, followed by you and your angry yells

you were really focused on the curse, prepared to battle it and exorcise it, before you finally spot him. he’s frozen, the ball dropped from his hand and rolling away from him. the way he’s staring at you, and the way he keeps eyeing the creature in fear, it clicks something in you, you don’t know what

but you don’t give the curse a chance to even try and attack, immediately charging at it and exorcising it quickly, defeating it right away. it dies away with an agonizing yell and you’re pretty sure this’ll count as trauma for the poor kid before he rushes towards you, grasping your wrists and staring at you like you just hung the moon in the sky

“what the hell was that that was so cool oh my god can you do it again can you teach me how to do it you are so badass —“

like baby breathe omg 

even the way you laughed at him was intimidatingly hot he was a goner !!! 

now that he knows of your nature, it attaches him to your hip. you can’t get rid of him anymore but it’s okay he’s literally sunshine in human form 

as a duo, and as romantic partners, you really are complete opposites, but that’s why you fit so well together you know! 

if you can conjure up something like the divine dogs like megumi, expect him to constantly pester you for them <3

kuroo tetsurō

listen, he knew you were a little odd from the moment you joined nekoma. like there was no doubt about it there was something off about you. he had some type of feeling that you weren’t really here for the education you know? 

but the rational side of him convinced himself he wanted to live in some type of movie so he dropped it

he does try to get to know you, though, yeah, of course he had to fall for that one person that no one knows anything about 

kuroo’s just trynna be the main character lmfao

with kuroo, he actually succeeds in growing closer to you. i mean who can resist him? no one

it starts off simple, he’d invite you to games, sit with you during lunch, before it escalates more into walking you home some days, inviting you over during weekend games, inviting you over at outings with his friends

more often than not, especially when said outings happened during nighttime, you’d decline. he didn’t really think much of it though, he just let you be, you know? 

then, one time, you decide to go for it. 

he invites you out to the movies with some of the vbc boys, and you accept. you figure you being gone for a few hours won’t hurt anyone, and it wasn’t like there aren’t any other jujutsu sorcerers available in tokyo. it’s a big city, you rationalize 

halfway through the movie, something feels off, and as a sorcerer, you know to trust your gut instinct, so you excuse yourself to the bathroom to check the area out. kuroo, having felt like something wasn’t right with you, and being slightly worried himself, goes after you. 

turns out you were right. two people had already died by the time you come to the alleyway behind the theatre, and there’s a curse hovering by their bodies. you’re slower to react because of the initial shock, and when you see kuroo coming out of the same backdoor you’d just left out of, your body entirely freezes

until the curse jumps to attack him, and in a flash, you’re by his side, kicking away at the curse, watching as it smashes roughly against a wall 

kuroo’s immediately asking questions, but you can’t exactly focus on him at the moment. you prioritize eliminating and exorcising the curse first, and when that’s done and dusted, you lead kuroo away from the theatre

he’s very shaken by the whole scene, especially after having seen two corpses 

that night, you lead him to your home, and he stays there. he keeps you up all night, but it’s understandable. throughout it all, you reassure him of his safety constantly, telling him that you’d never let anyone or anything ever hurt him

it’s what brings you two closer together 

because that incident had been his introduction to that specific world, he grows very wary anytime you’re sent out on missions, but you always come back home to him, and that’s what matters <3

tsukishima kei 

please tsukki with a crush is hilarious cause he’s so bad at expressing his feelings 

you’re actually really similar to him in that you’re quiet and that you don’t really appreciate talking and conversing to others. you tend to keep to yourself, and he really respects that, like deep down 

he thought you were just a really timid person until he snaps at you once and you snap back. and then it was like everything that has ever happened to him led to this moment right here because what the fucsjdhwf

the fact that he recognized his feelings for you kinda made him even warier of you. like his scowl is deeper and his bite is harsher, but that’s really only because he does not know how to deal with these emotions. like he has a bad way of expressing them correctly 

you two build this small relationship between you. it’s like a teasing thing, where it’s literally just all bark and no bite. it’s lowkey fun, and you grow to appreciate his presence 

he doesn’t really question it when you miss days of schools, or when you return the days after that all bandaged and bruised. he figures it’s not his business to ask questions like that, and just continues to observe you from afar

anyways! one night he’s walking home, all alone, peacefully, before he sees you dash by him, being chased by??? what the fuck is that???

tsukki just pauses, but he’s not even like scared or worried he’s just confused and a little amused tbh. he stands in place while his eyes follow your movements as you allow the creature to chase at you, before you make a sharp turn and hit it, sending it flying back

except, you hadn’t realized the direction you’d hit it at

the curse goes flying at tsukki, and he’s just staring at it like, “hm,” not moving an inch. he’s trynna give you an aneurysm on god 

you scream at him to move, but you’re already rushing towards him. as soon as you can, you throw your arms around him and topple him to the ground. you land on top of him, but you don’t get to see his flustered face because you’re off of him way too soon, taking care of the issue at hand 

he’s a little surprised at the reason you’re always cut up and bruised, but he can’t say he’s not even a little amazed at just,,, how cool you seem

he’s still on the ground lol and you hit him with “i hope you’re not waiting for me to pick you up.”

“it is your fault i’m on the ground to begin with.”

you help him up 

with an eye roll of course 

when he’s standing again before you, he just sighs and lifts a finger to his face, as if to indicate to your face. then he says, “that explains all this then,” referring to the bruises painting your skin 

your relationship doesn’t change much for a while after that, except that knowing glance he gives you every time you walk into class exhausted 

likes to call it monster hunting for some reason 

clearly you’re the only one out of the two of you with any balls because you’re the one that confesses. thanks for saving him the trouble hehe

he’ll never tell you to your face, but he thinks he is incredibly lucky to have someone as badass as you as his s/o

kozume kenma 

kenma probably took note of your exceptional situation for a few, but he didn’t give it much thought initially. like so what if you were super secretive? not like anyone knew much of him himself 

it’s not until kuroo or someone points out like, “they’re quite odd, right?” that he starts to pay attention, but he’s not sure why

maybe he’s trying to convince himself and others that you’re not really odd for being the way that you are. just secretive and mysterious and introverted. like. does that make him odd? 

he starts to notice things like you staying after school for late, late hours, but not because you’re a part of any club, and things like your missing of school, or how your knuckles are always, always bandaged and wrapped, or how you seemed to be at the oddest of locations at the oddest of times

it’s not really like him to be too interested in what you do, so he doesn’t invest all his thoughts and energy into. he does though dwell over it for a lot longer than you’d think 

sometimes, kenma takes a console of his, and heads up his rooftop, because it just feels really safe where nobody and nothing can get to him

he’s proven wrong one night when, in the middle of the game, he hears thumps across the rooftop. he thinks he’s being tricked by the game he’s playing, until he feels something behind him, until the hairs on the nape of his neck stand and a shive runs down his spine because there is something breathing down his neck

and then he hears your all too familiar voice whispering out, “don’t move, please.” 

it’s honestly not like he could 

he sees you from the corner of his eye move in a flash, and suddenly, when the feeling is gone, he finds himself able to move again, and he turns around

it honestly looks like a scene from a movie, what he’s staring at. you battle the curse so well, and kenma is fully and shamelessly enamored by you and the way you moved so swiftly and efficiently, as you dodge and attack, and as you finally exorcise 

like he’s so in awe he has to pinch himself to convince himself he’s not dreaming 

when the curse is taken care of, you just slowly approach him, kneeling by his side and asking in a soft voice if he was okay. he decided then and there that no, you were not odd at all. you just saved his life, so,,,

you urge him to go back inside, to stay safe, and he just nods as you lead the way to his window. and when he slips inside, for some reason, he finds it in himself to ask you to stay too

to stay safe, of course

it takes you by surprise a little, but at the genuineness in his eyes, you accept, and stay up playing games with him

and when you greet him in school the next day with a smile and a wave, kenma returns it, just as brightly <3

Picture 1: Y'all make some good points. But also jack lost a life in a duel that he started after everything started to wind down. So like, I don't know about that one. [End transcription.]

Picture 2: A lot of what you’re saying is true but there is some straight up false or misguided info in here. Jack challenged Techno to a duel at the end of Doomsday. Not the other way around. [End transcription]

Picture 3: Also fun fact about the last Jack Manifold death: Techno originally told HBomb he was leaving Jack Manifolds house alone after Doomsday. This was before Jack decided to challenge him to a duel to the death. He died by his own choice, not a victim death. (And he crawled outta hell like the badass he was.) [End transcription]

I wanna talk about this argument in techno-apologist discourse, because while i haven't seen it a lot, I have seen it expressed by multiple different people in a relatively short amount of time. which says to me that it's an idea that's currently catching on.

the original prevailing argument was that doomsday wasn't that bad (or was even actively Good) because no one died, which of course is a rather unfortunate argument to the person who died. for well over half a year this was (and mostly still is) the argument.

that said, some people have taken jack's death into account and instead of reconsidering how they feel (or at least talk) about doomsday, they've decided to justify it by insisting that it's Jack's fault that he died. by stripping agency Away from techno or even outright implying that he was being merciful somehow and that jack was the aggressor.

lets take this by points here

1: technoblade has agency. regardless of the context, regardless of the result, regardless of his intent, he Chose to accept the duel and he Chose to kill jack in that duel. to argue that jack's death is his own fault is to treat technoblade like he Isn't a person, like he Doesn't have agency, like what he did was Inevitable and not a choice that he made.

2: there Is context and it makes this argument plainly ridiculous.

2b: this is a literal war in which technoblade was physically fighting literally the entirety of l'manberg and its allies.

anyone could've died for real at any moment, people have lost their canon lives in the middle of battles before, Jack lost one of his canon lives in the middle of a battle before. you don't shoot people, blow them up, send withers at them, and send attack dogs on them unless you're prepared for the reality that they could die. you don't accept a duel with someone you Know is weaker than you unless you're prepared for the reality that he might die.

it is Only by pure coincidence that jack was the only person that lost a canon life, it is only by pure coincidence that jack was the only character that lost their Final life (tubbo and tommy were both down to one, and techno had been giving them special attention). to downplay this fact is ridiculous.

2c: L'manberg was jack's Home, which technoblade had destroyed. yes manifoldland was his, but jack was there fighting for a Reason. he wasn't just challenging technoblade for kicks, he wasn't risking his own life for fun. jack had cared deeply about l'manberg and the people in it, and he was devastated by it falling apart. there's a Reason why he started a villain arc immediately after this that he hasn't recovered from.

jack, tubbo, and niki were all close friends in early l'manberg. jack joined immediately after the revolution, and when he did they streamed literally every day together for a while there. jack's arc is about feeling abandoned and about feeling like a background character. he desperately misses old friendships and old happiness that he doesn't think he can ever get back, but he Also desperately wants to be someone that matters.

jack fought for l'manberg, for those happy memories and the people he still cared about, until the very end. him choosing to take a final stand against techno and paying the price for it isn't outweighed by the existence of manifoldland, and judging that action outside of the emotions involved with the conflict is ridiculous.

blaming jack for his own death because he chose to fight technoblade when it was literally the middle of a war in which everyone there was choosing to fight technoblade and technoblade was choosing to fight them is just. Bizarre. you may as well say that no one technoblade kills should ever count against him because they knew what they were getting themselves into when they chose to be killed by technoblade.

My work for @transnaturalweek day one: TFW!

TFW have a bad dysphoria day, and they do some self-care.

Sam throws down a paper bag in front of Dean. “What’s this?” 

Cas sniffs and looks at him. “It smells like hamburgers.”

Sam rolls her eyes and taps her nose. “Bingo.”

“I’m good.” Dean shifts his jaw around and pulls the blanket up higher over his chest. Sam sighs at him. 

“When was the last time you ate?” He looks at her bitchily. “No, don’t answer that. It was lunch yesterday, and it was a lunchable. Like you’re seven years old.”

“Fuck you, lunchables are good.”

“Lunchables are mediocre and disappointing.”

“Fuck you! Dessert pizza lunchables have never let me down!” Dean turns the volume up pointedly. Sam stays standing for another long moment. All of them are silent, Dean still trying to watch the TV but only out of spite and Cas paying closer attention to the sibling drama.

“Look, I get it. We all feel like shit, alright? But laying here feeling like shit isn’t gonna make us feel better, so we can eat bad food and paint our nails and feel like shit.”

“Can we get drunk?” 

Cas furrows his brows. “Drinking is not a productive way to deal with emotional pain.” 

“Disagree.” Dean sits up and reaches for the burgers, and Sam figures that’s a good sign. She goes for the Walmart bag next and pulls out the fancy little self-manicure kits she got them. She would’ve gone for the frilly little robes too, because she knows they all love them, but on a bad dysphoria day, Dean won’t even look at the color pink, let alone wear a robe. “If you can’t think about your body long enough to feel bad about it, you don’t feel so bad.”

Cas unwraps his own burger and takes off the top bun, still perched on the edge of the couch cushion. He peels the pickles off and hands them to Dean, who piles them on his own burger without even asking. They’re a well oiled machine at this point. “Touché.”

Sam sighs. Now things are going back downhill. She kicks at Dean until he makes room for her on the couch and plops down. “Not you too, Cas. I thought we were on the same side here?”

Cas shrugs and pulls off his shirt before he keeps eating his food. That’s one of the differences between Cas and Sam and Dean; when Cas is dysphoric, he takes clothes off, versus the oversized three layers of clothing and blankets Dean and Sam have covered themselves in. “I like margaritas.”

Sam rolls their eyes. “How about milkshakes and Queer Eye?”

Cas snatches a milkshake from Sam, eying the color before looking back at them. “Strawberry? I like strawberry.”

“I know you do.”

Dean looks between them grumpily. “Do I get one too?”

Sam lets a small smile cross their face. “Chocolate for you. Butterscotch for me.” She sips hers smugly. 

“Can we watch something other than Queer Eye?” Dean asks, dipping a fry into his. 

“Are you sure? There’s that one with a trans guy, we could-”

“Sam.” Dean balls in on himself and sniffs. “I don’t wanna think about how we’re different right now okay? Even if it’s about how our differences are kumbaya or some shit, I just don’t wanna-”

“Ok, yeah, I get it.” She leans against her brother. “That’s not how kumbaya works though-”

“Shut up, bitch,”

“Jerk,”

“Cas, what do you wanna watch?”

Cas shrugs. “Madagascar.”

“Madagascar? Like, the animated movie about zoo animals?” Cas nods. Dean looks at Sam. They shrug back. “Okay, let’s move it movie it,” he laughs at the others’ groans and steals the remote from Sam so he can pull up Netflix.

Sam passes out the nail polish while they start the movie. Cas gets a dark blue and pink (He likes to alternate colors on every finger), Dean gets a classic black, and Sam goes with purple. Yes, they’re classic colors for each of them. And sometimes you need the classic comforts. 

“Cas, baby, isn’t that really fucking uncomfortable sitting like that?” Dean asks, his worry sneaking towards grumpiness. Cas looks back from his perch unhappily. He shrugs rather than answers, and Dean sighs. Cas doesn’t just get human dysphoria from him being trans or Jimmy being trans. He also gets Angel-brand dysphoria; he hates sitting against a couch because it reminds him of the state of his wings. “C’mere.”

Cas only hesitates for a moment before he climbs on Dean’s lap. It’s something they do sometimes, being up on Dean gives Cas beside and below him, like a buffer so he can think about it less. Dean hugs him from behind and puts his head on his shoulder so he can still watch the movie, and Cas holds his milkshake so he can still drink it. Sam scoffs at them. “You guys are ridiculous.”

“Sh, don’t get bitter just because your girlfriend is off being a big badass during pride.” Dean grabs Sam’s hand and her nail polish and starts in on it. He is the best nail polisher of them, considering he’s had the most practice. That, and the fact that he’s obsessively neat and has surprisingly steady hands. 

Sam glares but lets him do it. “Yeah, well, I still think it’s pretty homophobic of her. Transphobic, too, if you think about it.”

“And your other girlfriend?”

She rolls her eyes. “She’s a busy fucking woman, thank you very much.”

“Right, right, dating a girl boss.”

“Technically, a queen.” Cas corrects. 

“Mhm,” Sam allows herself to get a little smug.

“Look at us, just a bunch of queens watching an animated zoo movie and not getting drunk in our rapidly approaching middle age.”

“Hear hear!” Sam bumps the styrofoam of her cup against the two cups Cas is holding. And they watch their movie. “Happy pride, assholes,”

My Webtoon Recommendations

These are webtoons that are all 10/10 for me. Of course it doesn’t have to be a 10/10 for you, so just a reminder, do not attack me for liking a webtoon that you do not. These are my opinions and we are not going to have the exact same taste. Please be respectful.

Your Throne

Genre: Fantasy

Chapters: 75

Status: Ongoing

-

“Tensions are brewing under the seemingly calm surface of the Vasilios Empire, a kingdom ruled by the Imperial Family and the Temple. Lady Medea Solon has lost her place next to Crown Prince Eros, but resolves to win back whats rightfully hers. Will she reclaim her throne?”

You know whats amazing about this webtoon? The summary leads you to think that what shes winning back is the prince. Wrong. Shes trying to win back the throne. I love how this webtoon doesn’t try to make it a girl focusing her goals on a man, but on power. Medea is such a strong and well written character that you can’t help but love her.

The second protagonist Pschye, who of which is the person who took Medeas place as Crown Princess, is the complete opposite of Medea. At the beginning you hate her, but as the webtoon goes on and Medea and her get a better understanding of eachother due to them switching bodies as a wish from God, you begin to root for them as they team up to take over the throne from the Crown Prince.

The art is so beautiful and I constantly found myself at awe from the amount of detail put into it.

The Makeup Remover

Genre: Romace

Chapters: 78

Status: Ongoing

-

“After years of being told to focus on studying, Yeseul feels lost when she starts college and is suddenly expected to pay attention to makeup. When a chance encounter with brilliant makeup artist Yuseong leads to her taking part in a televised makeup competition, Yeseul begins to question the role that makeup and appearance play in society.”

This was created by one of my favorite webtoon creators Lee Yone. Their art is just so amazing and their stories always include such good topics.

For instance, The Makeup Remover’s theme is loving yourself for who you are. It shows how people treat you based on your looks and as someone whos struggled with that kind of thing for a while, this webtoon really touched me. The main character Yeseul is such a relatable character, even when trying to reject beauty standards, she still came subject to the pressures of living up to the people around her. She struggles with trying to love her own appearance and I really like that this webtoon didn’t try to be like, ‘fuck the beauty standard im better than that screw pretty people!!!’ it actually showed realistically how people struggle with self-image. I also love the main love interest because oh my god, we need more men like him please. He doesn’t care about Yeseul’s appearance and genuinely loves her for her personality.

Also, art is amazing. The author is so talented and you should support them by reading and liking the chapters.

Surviving Romance

Genre: Horror

Chapters: 14

“When Chaerin Eun becomes the protagonist of the romance novel she is reading, she expects a fairytale ending with the novel’s love interest, Jeha. But when a bizarre twist makes her realize the story is not playing out as it does in the book, she’ll need the help of an unlikely character from her class to defy the new storyline and find her happy ending - if only she can figure out who this ‘Unknown Extra’ is first!”

Hands down one of my favorite webtoons by a long shot. You ever see a webtoon and think, ‘oh yeah, thats going to be a good webtoon’? Thats how this webtoon was for me. It was so good that I spent hours searching for other chapters that hadn’t been uploaded to webtoon yet on other manhua websites. I discovered it because it was also by the author of ‘The Makeup Remover’.

If there is one thing you need to know about me, its that I am a huge horror fan. So when I saw that my favorite author on webtoon had a horror themed webtoon out? You bet your behind that I binged it. Let me tell you, best choice ever.

Think of it as if ‘Ino’s Law’ and ‘Quarantine’ were combined with amazing art and a badass MC.

The Remarried Empress

I love how it is set up to the point where she cannot ‘quit’ until she completes the novel. Creating scenarios where she must survive while meeting the standards in the book. It is such an amazingly written webtoon and I cannot wait for more chapters to be released.

Genre: Fantasy

Chapters: 82

“Navier Ellie Trovi was an empress perfect in every way - intelligent, courageous, and socially adept. She was kind to her subjects and devoted to her husband. Navier was perfectly content to live the rest of her days as the wise empress of the Eastern Empire. That is, until her husband brought hone a mistress and demanded a divorce. ‘I accept this divorce… And i request an approval of my remarriage.’ In a shoking twist Navier remaarries another emperor and retains her title and childhood dream as empress. But just how did everything unfold? “

Am I in love with Navier? Yes.

I absolutely adore how this story was set up. The first chapter begins with the big divorce scene, followed by Navier saying that she was going to be remarrying someone else since he wants to divorce her. This sets up a picture that gets completely shattered as you read the chapters. How everything falls into place with the reason behind the divorce and the remarriage is just so well written. The art is so good and and everything is just so insanely well done.

I absolutely love Naviers character, from her regalness and devoted loyalty to her role as empress, all the way to her petty moments and times of sadness. She is truly a character that you want the best for, and I cannot image anyone not liking her. Also the story is just so capable of making you feel emotions. I’ve laughed, cried, and got angry during the course of reading this webtoon. I love how betrayed I felt when the emperor brought home his mistress. It felt like I was in Navier’s shoes!

This is such a well done webtoon and I'm so excited for Navier to get all of the good things she deserves in her new Kingdom and with her new husband.

Witch Creek Road

Genre: Horror

Chapters: 74

Status: Ongoing

“A survival horror about love, acceptance, death, and revenge. And sexy flesh-eating demons. Yeah, it has those, too.”

This series seriously mind fucked me. The way that this story is set up, you don’t see the full picture until the later chapters. Season two literally blew my mind. It is also very gorey so keep that in mind if you don’t like that kind of stuff, but for me that makes it all the better. It is just so wild and crass that you can feel your heart pumping in anticipation.

They even have their own website that goes further into the lore because it’s just so wild. Also the art style is just so amazing, because it complements the story and horror theme so much. You hate most of the characters because they suck, and it is so satisfying when they are killed. Also it has it’s sad moments but I think it is a nice break from the horror so it isn’t so overwhelmingly scary.

I binged this series and I recommend reading only a few chapters a day so you don’t overload your brain.

Other then that, an amazing webtoon. Seriously, go read it, support the author, so much work goes into the story and art that it’s insane.

Dating With A Tail

Genre: Romance

Chapters: 36

Status: Ongoing

-

“On the dawn of her 29th birthday, unlucky-in-love Yunha discovers a shocking family secret: she’s started growing a fox tail, the mark of an ancestral curse. She must find her fated love before her 30th birthday or she is destined to become a fox forever! Even with her new-found enchanting power to attract men using her scent, will one year be enough to break the curse before it’s too late?”

Oh my gosh this is just such a good webtoon. It has amazing art, story telling, and characters. The true love interest was there the whole time, the villain isn’t who you’d expect it to be, and the spirit who cursed her is just! Im not going to spoil it but go read this webtoon!! It is so good and deserves more love.

Also Yunha is just so relatable?? Like she put off finding the woodcutter (her fated love) for 29 years and waited last minute to find him. Homegirl is me trying to do a project for school. Also to get rid of the scent that makes men attracted to her, she just starts eating a ton of garlic and that is just so funny to me.

Also I would go to church for the priest anytime if you know what i mean ;)

Omniscient Reader

Genre: Action

Chapters: 53

Status: Ongoing

“Dokja was an average office worker whose sole interest was reading his favorite web novel ‘Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.’ But when the novel suddenly becomes reality, he is the only person who knows how the world will end. Armed with this realization, Dokja uses his understanding to change the course of the story, and the world, as he knows it.”

I cannot get over how high quality this story is. The world building is phenomenal, the art is fantastic, and the characters are very fleshed out. This deserved all the hype it has gotten so far and more.

I love the ‘mc thrown into a different reality’ trope so much. Just like with surviving romance, Dokja’s world became the story he was reading. Also a very cool aspect of the story is the level up and the fact that its like a game. Earth has turned into this show for god like creatures to watch and it follows Dokja trying to survive. I also really like that TWSA has a protagonist, but Omniscient Reader’s protagonist is not the protagonist that was in TWSA. There is just so much lore and I’ll say it again, the world building is just phenomenal.

The Ddokkaebi’s and Dokja’s interactions are also just some of my favorite moments from the story so far. And oh my goodness I would die for Lee Gilyoung. Thats it, thats the tweet. That little boy could probably kill me with his giant praying mantis and I would let him if it would make him happy.

Not So Shoujo Love Story

Genre: Comedy

Chapters: 45

“Romance super-fan Rei Chan is ready for her first boyfriend and she knows just who it’ll be: the most handsome boy in school, Hansum Ochinchin. But her plans for the perfect story are derailed when the most popular girl in class declares herself a rival… for Rei’s heart?! This is the year her not so shoujo love story begins!”

This is just such a cute webtoon. The style is very appealing and while the humor can be childish and weird sometimes, it still has made me laugh a lot. I know the humors not for everyone but just keep in mind that it does get better as the story progresses and gets more serious.

Also its a gl! I’m really unable to find good gls these days that don’t fetishize wlw relationships. Rei being painted as a mean trouble maker whos just misunderstood and Hana being the ‘perfect girl’ who only wants Rei’s attention is such a cute dynamic. They balance each other out and better each other. Also stan Rei for constantly sticking up for Hana even if she doesn’t necessarily like her in the beginning, she has very good morals and sticks to them.

Also the defying stereotypes in this webtoon? Just god-tier. Really makes you think twice when you judge someone just on first impressions alone.

“After a successful winter break makeover, Nari is finally ready for her high school debut. But somehow, she ends up friends with the three prettiest girls in school! Follow Nari as she tries to navigate her brand new high school life surrounded by beauties.”

This story has made me cry multiple times. A lot, even. It is just such a beautiful tale of friendship and finding support in people who are unlike those around theme. It also tells a great story about how anybody can be the ‘odd girl out’. Be it the fat girl, the beautiful girl, the rich girl, or the laid back girl.

It goes so deep into its characters that you even feel bad for the minor antagonists. It really makes you feel for the characters and the reasons behind their actions. Also I know its long, believe me I binged all 260 chapters in the span of three days, but oh my god it is worth it. Also I know the art is kind of off-putting, in fact that’s kind of why I put off reading the story, but I’ve honestly grown to love it and the writing is so good that the art could be literal stick figures and it wouldn’t matter.

The story is amazing and also I just love Nari. She’s just the best.

But once this experience starts there is no turning back, and they find themselves tested beyond what they imagines, facing their most desperate fears in order to survive.”

This is definitely one of those stories were you kind of need to turn of your brain and choose to ignore ‘plot holes’ while reading the early chapters because this story definitely gets crazy if you don’t know the ending. Believe me if you stick with it it will all make sense and the satisfaction you get from finding the ending is just so worth it.

The story is so good, and who Gremory is you would literally never suspect. When it was revealed who Gremory was and how he was able to create Gremoryland is so fucking mind boggling that you would never guess. I had to do a double take. It wasn’t like one of those random characters with a vendetta type of twists, but like one you can pick out from clues throughout the story.

Its so good and twisted and just so worth at least giving it a chance.

These were some of my favorite webtoons on the app! Of course it’s not all of them because unfortunately there is a 10 image limit. I also made this because I’ve run out of new webtoons to read and would love if you guys commented some of your own recs. I can also do a part two with other ones I liked if y’all want more recommendations. You guys can even request specific categories like Drama or Sci-Fi and I can tell you my favorite ones from that genre.

Also a reminder - if you disagree with any of my praise of these webtoons be respectful about it. At the end of the day it’s my opinion and you don’t need to be rude when disagreeing with that opinion.
