button divide by @bernardsbendystraws~

The elevator rises silently, the ground dropping away as the people outside the ex-Stark Tower quickly become distant dots. “Here, it tastes gross, but you’ll need this.” Mel hands you a cheap paper cup filled to the brim with room temp coffee. You accept it with a quiet thanks, but groan internally. Who in the world would do this to a new employee, but your boss is none other than Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, so maybe you should’ve expected this.

To Val’s credit, she puts up a compelling front to the public. She spoke confidently in court to Congressman Gary as if she had nothing to lose. When you first met her during your interview, she smiled confidently and greeted you warmly with a firm handshake. 

But now, she barely acknowledges Mel when she hands her a piping hot starbucks coffee, fixated on a call with someone important from somewhere important. She was unabashedly thirty minutes late, leaving you waiting around in the lobby area earlier. You wonder if making people wait made her feel powerful.

You sip the stale coffee quietly; the dull, bitter taste makes you wince. Val ends her call just when the elevator emits a soft ding, indicating you have arrived at your floor, though she is still tapping away at her screen with her manicured fingers. Her eyes flicker to you for a moment, then dart back to her phone. “Ah, right.” She mutters dismissively, likely having already forgotten your existence. 

The metallic elevator door gently slides open, the three of you make it a step out, and a blaring POP! Sound erupts and gold bursts at your eyes, causing you all to flinch, eliciting a gasp from you, and a small yelp from Mel. 

“Welcome!” A hulking, tall man in a red Captain America-like suit beams excitedly, his voice booming with a heavy Russian accent on his tongue—the beard on his chin wiry and unruly. His large hands make the party popper in his grip look comically small, and a party hat sits atop his bald head. He stands over all of you, an obviously home-made welcome poster stuck unevenly to the white, pristine wall behind him. Specks of gold, sparkly confetti, gradually float over and around you, reflecting random glints of light everywhere, some stuck onto your hair and shoulders.

You know why you’ll need that coffee now.

“Alexei, what the hell!?” Val snaps, her voice full of fury as she throws her hands up, but the man named Alexei doesn’t seem bothered at all. Mel mutters a small “Oh my gosh” to herself with a hand to her chest, attempting to calm her heart. 

A short woman with a bleached, slicked-back bob appears behind Alexei, doubling over, howling with laughter, trying to catch her breath. “Oh my god, you should’ve seen your face, Valentina- That was too good!” She wipes away tears from the corners of her eyes with her thumb. She also has a Russian accent.

“Yelena, you’re in on this, too?” Val scoffs in disbelief.

“We must celebrate new girl!” Alexei gushes boisterously at first, but your stunned silence finally registers after a few seconds, and his excited beam shrinks. “Oh…Uh, sorry,” he apologizes sheepishly to you, clumsily batting at the confetti in your hair and shoulders. “I’m uh, Alexei Shostakov, The Red Guardian!” He perks up again at the end, clearly proud of his title, and you can't help but let out a small chuckle at that.

“Yelena. Sorry about the scare,” Yelena, still amused, introduces herself, though you already know who she is. “We just wanted to mess with Valentina, you got caught in the crossfire.”

“I swear to god, Alexei, if you just shot something or someone…” A tall, more athletic-looking man with short, dirty blonde hair and neatly kept stubble rounds the corner of a hallway, presumably leading to more rooms. You recognize the person to be John Walker, his shirt is damp with sweat from working out just a moment ago. His gaze subtly hardens when he spots company. “What’s going on here?”

“I don’t have time for this,” Val rolls her eyes. “This is your new secretary, if you will. She will be working closely with the team, taking care of anything you need.” She gives a dismissive flick of her wrist towards Alexei, Yelena, and Walker. 

"You're all theirs," she declares at you, already turning on her heel. Mel offers you a quick, apologetic smile and “good luck” before hurrying after her boss towards the elevator. 

You let out a small sigh of relief, take a moment to reset your emotions, and turn your attention to everyone. “Alexei, Yelena, Walker, it’s a pleasure.” You smile politely and give them your name. You take in your surroundings and suddenly, you lock eyes with a set of dark blue, wide eyes peeking over one of the couches.

Has he…Been there the whole time?

“Oh, um…Hi,” The figure emerges timidly from behind the couch, revealing himself to be surprisingly tall.

Why are there so many tall people here?

He has a head of wavy brown hair, and the ends of his hair curl at the nape of his neck. “I’m uh, Bob.” He smiles bashfully, looking down slightly. His hand messes with the sleeve of his comfy, oversized sweatshirt rather adorably. The dark blue sweatshirt matches his eyes, enveloping him like a warm hug. He closely resembles a puppy that thinks it’s in trouble and you feel an unexpected warmth towards him.

“Hello Bob,” you can’t help but want to tease him. “You’re cute.”

Bob’s face explodes with redness. Yelena whistles loudly as she makes her way to the kitchen. Alexei barks out a laugh. 

“What the hell?” Walker scoffs, acting grossed out. “You just wish she said that to you.” Yelena jokes, to which Walker rolls his eyes at her.

Bob’s mouth opens and closes, busy trying to find an appropriate response. He eventually settles for a small “thank you.”

“No problem, Bob.” He lowers his head in shyness when you give him the prettiest smile he's ever seen. The kind of smile that makes his heart beat a little faster.

“I usually…Don’t hide behind furniture…” Bob stammers out, one hand rubbing the back of his neck out of nervousness.

From the kitchen doorway, Yelena calls out, "Since your official tour guide has abandoned you, I can show you around." She walks into view toward you, a glimmer of mirth in her voice. "Unless you'd rather Alexei give you the 'Red Guardian' version. You'll probably learn less that way."

“Nonsense!” Alexei frowns. “What’s wrong with mine?” 

Yelena smirks playfully. “She will probably be stuck listening to you talk about your trash ass car for hours.”

“My car is not ‘trash ass’.” Alexei tries to protest, but Yelena has already started pulling you away from the common area. Her grip on your arm is firm but not unkind, and she moves with a swift efficiency that leaves Alexei's complaints behind. You catch Bob’s eyes when you look back, he gives you a little wave, a timid smile still gracing his lips as the spacious common room shrinks from view. 

“Catch you later, Bob.” You say more to yourself.

WHATS IT LIKE DATING WB!READER

Bio: Returning to my roots and posting more, so enjoy it while it lasts, people! HAHA (I have so many things to do...)

Dating a reader is honestly a roller coaster filled with fear, love, and affection. Due to the neglect of the Batfam, they suck—yes, suck—at affection. They get scared when holding hands, stiffen like a log when getting a hug, and completely fall apart at the slightest kiss. But they pull it together; you just have to take it slow—painfully slow—but it's all worth it just to see them get all flushed and nervous. Dates are absolutely the best with that Bruce Wayne money. The two of you are doing everything and anything: hitting the arcade, watching movies, going to comic conventions, getting expensive band tickets for front row seats, or doing cosplay. The reader doesn't hide their nerdiness at all. You have to keep them on a leash when going to the mall because they're wandering off to the nearest anime shop without warning.

But they are super without even trying. Maybe all those romance visual novels taught them something. They're the type to get you cute matching keychains of a cute comic book couple or anime one. They'll make matching outfits for the two of you to wear that match both your styles. They'll even write you the longest love letter known to man with sweet little Hello Kitty stickers on it and a couple of kiss marks with red lipstick. They're giving you Build-a-Bear plushies with their voice box in it saying "I love you." Romantic, I know, but that doesn't stop them from being a complete tease and a nuisance.

Wb!reader dresses like a middle schooler, wearing a dinosaur T-shirt and jorts like the Nesquik Bunny. They bought light-up sneakers once, and they literally exploded, but they were cute while they lasted. They make cute little slideshow dates where they complain about movies and comic books. "Why is it called Jurassic Park when the T. rex is from the Cretaceous period? I know it doesn't roll off the tongue like Jurassic Park, but still," they'll explain power scaling to you. "So that's why Naruto does not stand a chance against Luffy. Anyone who says he does is in clear denial, and if they test it, show them this slideshow." The two of you read each other super old fanfiction together while trying to hold in giggles, and you both watch Gacha Life movies together. Wb!reader is obviously the alpha.

Part 5

At some point, he must've fallen asleep because Danny wakes up when someone unlocks his door from the outside and comes inside the room.

"Danny?" It's Jason again. "You in here?"

He listens to Jason's steps, tracking them as carefully as he can without being able to see them. He turns invisible.

Jason knocks on the closet door. "Hey, buddy? I know you don't want me to come in, so I'm not going to, but can you make some kind of noise so that I know you're not dead?

Danny almost snorts. "Can't kill a dead guy," he whispers.

There's a pause before Jason leans against the wall next to the door and slides down to sit on the floor. "You, too, huh?"

That makes Danny blink. 'You, too'?

"That ice up on the roof yesterday night?" Jason says, "I knew it felt familiar. Dying gave you super powers, right?" A huff of breath, just short of a laugh. "It only gave me anger issues."

Danny uncurls and drops to sit on the floor, his back keeping the door closed. "How old?" He whispers.

"Fourteen. You."

"Same."

It's quiet for a bit, though he can hear breathing, so he assumes Jason needs to do that to survive. He's jealous, just a little bit.

He inhales before dropping it, trying to come up with the words he wants to ask. No, that's not right. He has the words, but he doesn't want to ask anything.

Jason speaks before he can. "Damian came in last night to try and talk to you. Said you were crying in the bathroom. He took care of the glass on the floor and wants to apologize for breaking in."

"And the bed?"

"That was Cass. She came in after Damian and moved the furniture back. She figured you didn't want anyone breaking your window again."

He hummed. "Does anyone know?"

"Know what?"

"Know about the ice?"

"No. All I told 'em was that you were up on the roof and to leave you alone. I assume they listened?"

"Yeah."

"Good. Then they can follow directions."

That, that makes Danny giggle a little bit.

"So you do have a sense of humor!" Jason cheers, "I was beginning to worry when you didn't laugh at my chill pun up on the roof. Speaking of, how were you balancing on the spire like that? I thought only Dickhead could do that, and even he has troubles!"

Danny debated in his head whether or not he should answer. On one hand, Jason's kinda like him, with the whole being dead thing. On the other hand, he really wants to be left alone and if he keeps talking, then he's never going to be left alone.

There's some shuffling as Jason stands up. "Alfred's the only other one in the Manor right now. Do you want some food?"

He didn't need it, but there wasn't any stars in Gotham, so, "Yes."

"Cool. In house or take-out?"

"Take out."

"You stay in the closet or do you wanna come out?"

Danny snickers. "Not to you, weather boy,"

Jason laughs, deep and from their chest. They probably laugh with their whole body. "Yeah, that's fair."

He stands, still invisible, and opens the door. "I'll go with you."

Jason whistles. "Ivis, too? Man, I got ripped off when I died!"

Closing the door behind him, Danny sneaks behind Jason and jumps on their back. They stumble, obviously not expecting his sudden weight, but they catch him nonetheless.

"Where to, zombie boy?"

"Ghost," he corrects.

"'Ghost'?"

"Ghost."

"That explains the invisibility," Jason mutters, "Alright, then, ghost boy, where to?"

Danny shrugs. "Never been here. Don't like it here."

Jason clicks their tongue. "I'm gonna treat you to the best worst burger this side of the Mississippi River!"

"That doesn't make sense."

"It will."

Part 7

Mars, Abandonment Issues, Violence & Conflict

TW: murder, r4pe, abuse, domestic violence, suicide, gaslighting, mommy issues

This is a topic that is extremely close to my heart for various reasons. I'm putting this disclaimer up here because this post is going to be very raw and perhaps disturbing.

Please do not read it if you're not up for reading about violence & conflict of all kinds.

Mars in Roman mythology is the God of war, bloodshed and murder. In Vedic astrology, the planet of Mars is associated with power, action, drive, ambition alongside anger, war and impulsiveness.

Mars influenced women are often considered sex symbols and attract envy for their heightened sensuality. HOWEVER, something that seems to accompany all this is being subject to and enduring abuse.

Very broadly speaking, it can be said that Martian men often tend to be abusive and Martian women often endure abuse. In this video about the most evil zodiac signs , Mars-ruled naks were among the top indicators of someone being prone to violence. It's a very literal interpretation of Mars obviously.

Mars is considered the commander of the celestial army. Mars is the Roman God of War and Agriculture. It is a dry, fiery, masculine planet and a malefic. There are two sides to every coin and while the same energy and willpower can be channelled in positive way, it can very often be channelled in ways that are destructive and hurtful.

Khloe Kardashian- Mrigashira Moon

I feel like out of all the Kardashians, Khloe has suffered the most in her romantic relationships. Unfortunately, Mars is a malefic planet and people born under Mars influence are called Mangliks and they are said to have Mangal dosh ("mars defect" quite literally). This defect affects personal and romantic relationships the most. I think her Ardra stellium also contributes to her largely unhappy experiences in relationships. Ardra is very inauspicious for marriage.

From rumours of Khloe not being Rob Kardashian's biological daughter (she's allegedly OJ Simpson's lovechild with Kris and its very common for Mars individuals to not have a proper father figure growing up) to her being publicly cheated on by Tristan Thompson not once but several times and STILL choosing to have another baby with him?? Khloe has been very unlucky in love

Khloe and Kim also have nasty tempers and are super foul when they need to be. This is another Martian trait.

Kim Kardashian- Chitra Sun

idk how she managed to stay married to a man as horrid as Kanye for like a decade,, she's sooo brave honestly. I feel bad for her because I feel like Kim has never been loved </3

Given the way Kanye treats Bianca, we get a glimpse into what he is like as a man. I am not claiming he was abusive or violent towards Kim because we do not know that. However, I wouldn't put it past him.

However, like many Martian individuals, she is careful to not hurt her children. Watch this clip, for example.

Judith Barsi- Rohini Sun & Mercury, Mrigashira Moon

Judith was a child actor who was active in the late 70s and early 80s. Her parents had a really horrible marriage and her father murdered her and her mom when she was 10 years old. It genuinely breaks my heart to even type that out because nobody deserves that. Martian women suffer SO much in life and have to be very wary of who they give their energy too. They are so guarded and protective and I completely get why. They HAVE to be.

Jennifer Lawrence- Mrigashira Moon

“Art more often than not is about one’s mother. I hesitate to say that because I would hate for somebody to go back and watch my movies, or watch this movie in particular, and think that that is the way that I’m painting my mother,” Jennifer Lawrence said.

“My mother is a wonderful person but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still things from my childhood that I’m working out.”

“So many of my films in the past have been about my mother, my childhood. I wonder what will happen now that I’ll be witnessing somebody else’s childhood"

She's never really publicly dissed her parents but I have always felt like she didn't grow up in a household that was very accepting of her.

Glenn Close- Dhanishta Moon & Venus (Ashlesha Rising)

Glenn Close was a victim of a cult after her father joined, took off to work in Africa, and left his kids in Switzerland at the Moral Re-Armament headquarters. Close spoke about that time and shared, “You basically weren’t allowed to do anything, or you were made to feel guilty about any unnatural desire. If you talk to anybody who was in a group that basically dictates how you’re supposed to live and what you’re supposed to say and how you’re supposed to feel, from the time you’re 7 till the time you’re 22, it has a profound impact on you. It’s something you have to [consciously overcome] because all of your trigger points are.

Princess Diana, Dhanishta Moon and Marilyn Monroe, Dhanishta Moon

Both these ladies experienced a lot of neglect, abuse and emotional torment in life. I don't want to say too much about it because I feel like enough has been said about both their lives in the last several years. The conclusion is that these women had unhappy marriages and never really found love AND they grew up feeling very neglected.

Princess Diana was a really good mom and had Marilyn had children, perhaps she would've been to

One thing I have noticed with many Mars influenced individuals is that they may have suffered in life but they wouldn't let their children suffer the same way.

Eminem- Chitra Sun Dhanishta Moon

Eminem grew up without a father, and it's very common for Mars-ruled individuals to not have a father figure or grow up without a father figure. Eminem's relationship or lack thereof with his mum is pretty well documented so I won't go into that but despite the abuse and neglect he endured as a child, he has a very positive relationship with his children.

Gigi Hadid, Dhanishta Moon

I know Gigi had it better than Bella, but that does not mean she grew up well. Her mom literally told her to chew her almonds well; I don't know what else to say about this. Both the sisters are super close to their mom and live near her and everything so that will always be mysterious to me because its clear as day that Yolanda has been a questionable parent.

Dhanishta Sun & Mercury- Tinashe

Tinashe dated Ben Simmons, who two-timed her with Kendall Jenner in 2018, or moved on with Kendall, and Tinashe was apparently drunk for 6 months straight and called it the "worst day of her life" apparently

Coming back to the absent father theme, I have noticed this with many other Martians as well

The Weeknd (Dhanistha Sun) & Doja Cat (Chitra Sun, Rising & Rahu)

The Weeknd grew up without a dad and Doja also does not have a relationship with her dad. Marilyn Monroe (Dhanistha Moon & Jupiter) also didn't have a dad growing up.

All of them have abandonment issues as a result. Kind of random but all of them have a questionable dating history as well.

Martians have a "anything floats" kind of personality, and they really don't have a "type" and their dating history is often very diverse, eclectic and far-ranging and at times questionable.

Some well known abusers are also Martian:

Salman Khan- Dhanishta Moon

He physically abused Aishwarya Rai and got away with it

He also has a tendency to cast women that look like his ex after he breaks up with them

Aishwarya Rai and her doppelganger Sneha Ullal whom he cast opposite him

Katrina Kaif and her lookalike Zarine Khan whom Salman cast opposite himself

The pedophile and abuser Woody Allen is a- Dhanishta Moon

John Mayer who basically groomed Taylor Swift is a- Chitra Sun & Mercury

He has said horrible things about all the women he's dated, including Jessica Simpson whom he dated on and off FOR YEARS

"Have you ever been with a girl who made you want to quit the rest of your life? Did you ever say, 'I want to quit my life and just fucking snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to fuck you, I would start selling all my shit just to keep fucking you.'

Simpson said she was humiliated by this quote. This is what I mean when I say Martian men have no manners. Imagine dating someone and then publicly saying this about them ugh

Tom Hardy- Chitra Sun

Tom Hardy is known for a controversy that occurred during the filming of Mad Max: Fury Road. Specifically, Charlize Theron and other crew members alleged that Hardy's behaviour on set was unprofessional, including lateness and verbal confrontations. Theron reportedly felt threatened and required a producer to shadow her on set. Idk how much of an asshole abuser you have to be for someone like Charlize Theron to feel unsafe around you.

There are lots more to say so stay tuned for part 2

[frownyalfred]

when i write something about batman with another bat there i always wonder if i write their hypercompetence and fighting abilities right. this is gonna get a little bit in the power level discussion so bear with me. obviously the character i want to win or find the solution IS gonna do exactly that... but what about Barbie? Aka Mary Sue aka Batman? In other character's comics HE'S the one they call to figure out this month's Mega Evil Planet Destroyer problem and. He does. Often. Almost every time. Superman needs a working strategy in less than five seconds? Batman's got it. Survive impossible odds daily? You know it. Find cures for incurble diseases? Why not?

So you got this guy. Who can do all that. And you have to find a way to put him into situations where the silly goose Riddler is giving him problems. And 16 year old Robin, fresh member of the Teen Titans, 3-4 years of in-field experience, comes crashing in to save the day.

I know i'm basically asking "How can you fit 80+ years of stories, at LEAST 30 of those years spent on making Batman God, into a coneivably convincing story?"

What's your approach to the nightmare that's DC's inconsistency? How do you make Batman capable and hypercompetent and keep the batfam on a believably similar level while still having a big enough gap between everyone due to experience, age, skills, etc and not throw your own story's consistency out the metaphorical window?

It’s very hard! I’m not always certain I do a good job either. But I try to find things that are realistic enough to scale down power without making him ooc. For example in borderline - Bruce is skilled enough to hunt down and find Dick when the Court of Owls took him. But even he can’t split his attention between two people at the same time. So when Damian was taken by the LoA, Bruce was in a difficult choice where he has to choose who to go after. Because even he couldn’t be in two places at once, focusing on two separate cases before sunrise.

Specialization is another thing. There are some things Bruce trained to do, and some areas he has self admitted blind spots in canon. He doesn’t like magic, for example. Most canon iterations have him training for strength instead of acrobatic ability, so while he can still flip and bend, he’s probably not bounding around like Nightwing often.

Kids vs adults - Bruce is a large man. There are situations where having Robin crawl in/etc is much more effective. Robin can be bait in a trap, etc. he can hide in things. He might have slightly better hearing due to are. There’s lots of things to use there.

Experience is another one. Sometimes it’s a double edged sword. Bruce has seen everything at least once, so sometimes he’s very (rightfully) jaded. A kid’s hope or belief might defy that experience and still be right.

When it comes to truly scaling Bruce vs the Batfamily, I always try to remember that they learned from him directly and want to be like him. Which means they’re a lot like him in every way except 1) Bruce is a better teacher than his own mentors and 2) they are limited by time/age/experience. But there will come a day where they’re at or nearly at the same level as Bruce in many respects. It just hasn’t happened yet. And that’s okay! Because by that time Bruce will be off the field.

NSFW Alphabet - Kuzan (Aokiji)

Warnings: nsfw

Word Count: 1179

Pairing: Kuzan (Aokiji) x Reader

crossposted on AO3

A = Aftercare

Surprisingly thorough. Kuzan might seem lazy, but aftercare is where he’s silently devoted. He’ll pull you into his chest, cooling your body with gentle fingertips, letting his powers soothe any soreness. He rarely says much, but the way he tucks a blanket around you or idly rubs your back says everything.

B = Body Part (favorite)

Kuzan is absolutely a boobs man. He likes having them in his hands, in his face, under his tongue—you name it. He'll absentmindedly grope you when you're curled up beside him, just letting one hand rest there like it's his natural home. During sex, he loves to press his mouth between your breasts, kissing and biting softly, using the chill of his lips to make you shiver. If you ride him and let your chest bounce in front of his face? He’s done.

C = Cum

Lazy but indulgent. He doesn’t always make a mess—but when he does, he makes sure to rub it in slowly, lazily, watching how flustered you get. If you’re into it, he’ll finish on your stomach or chest just to see it drip down, his cool fingers smearing it teasingly.

D = Dirty Talk

Low voice, minimal words, but devastatingly effective. He murmurs things like “You feel that? So good for me…” or “I could stay inside you all day, y’know.” And when you beg? That raspy “Yeah? Keep beggin’, sweetheart…” sends shivers.

E = Experience

He’s definitely experienced, though not boastful. He’s had lovers before, but few he’s opened up to. With you, he’s more focused on the emotional and physical sync than flashy tricks—he listens to your body, reads every breath and twitch. His skill is in control and restraint—until he breaks it.

F = Favorite Position

Kuzan is fond of lazy spooning where he can rut slowly into you from behind, half-asleep, groaning in your ear. But when he's in a mood? He'll have you on your back with your knees to your chest, long body pressing yours down into the bed while he moves deep and slow.

G = Goofy

Not outwardly, but every once in a while, if something clumsy happens (like falling off the bed), he’ll let out a slow, amused “Heh… well, that’s new” and adjust. His humor is bone-dry, but affectionate.

H = Hair

His pubes are dark, curly, and he doesn’t shave—just trims now and then to keep things tidy. He loves when you trail your fingers lazily around his navel, circling lower and lower until you're teasing your way into his bush. It makes his breath hitch every time, especially when you do it with that innocent look he can’t quite resist.

I = Intimacy

He hides emotional vulnerability beneath jokes or silence, but when he does open up—usually during sex—it’s breathtaking. He’ll cup your cheek mid-thrust, forehead to yours, eyes heavy with emotion. Those rare moments? You’ll feel everything he’s never said.

J = Jack-Off

He used to do it often—long, slow, bored strokes in the shower. But since you came into his life? Not nearly as much. Still, he might touch himself lazily if he wakes before you, watching you sleep as he quietly relieves the tension—sometimes he’ll finish on your stomach just to wake you up teasingly.

K = Kink

He’s into temperature play, obviously—he’ll chill his fingers or tongue to tease your nipples, or ice a trail down your spine to make you arch. Also into teasing, overstimulation, and light bondage—especially using ice to hold you in place.

L = Location

Lazy, but opportunistic. He loves sex in a warm bed, ideally tangled in sheets with nothing to do afterward. But he has taken you against a freezing cave wall once—just to make you warm up from his thrusts. That contrast of ice and heat? Addictive.

M = Motivation

Your sleepy voice, the way you tug at his shirt, the little moans when you stretch. He gets turned on by intimacy more than visuals—if you're affectionate, needy, or clingy, that’s his weakness. You clinging to his chest? He’s already half-hard.

N = NO

Kuzan doesn’t like degradation or anything violent. He may seem emotionally distant at times, but he respects you deeply. Anything that suggests disrespect—slapping, humiliation, or calling you names—is off the table.

O = Oral (giving/receiving)

Giving: Slow, teasing, lethal. He’ll use his tongue like a slow drip of ice water, circling and flicking until you cry.

Receiving: He loves it but rarely asks. If you initiate? You’ll hear the deepest, throatiest moan as he throws his head back, hand in your hair, letting you take your time.

P = Pace

Almost always slow and deep. He’s not a jackhammer type. He draws it out, uses his height and weight to pin you down gently and feel everything. Sometimes he’ll go so slow it borders on torture—just to hear you whimper.

Q = Quickies

He’s not opposed to them—especially when you’re both half-dressed and pressed up against a wall—but he prefers to take his time. Still, a lazy couch ride with your skirt hiked up? He’s game if it means holding you close after.

R = Risk

Not a huge risk-taker, but lowkey adventurous. He likes outdoor sex when it’s secluded—icy hot springs, foggy forests, or cold lakesides where only you can see the steam rising off your bodies.

S = Stamina

Unfairly high. He can go for hours, especially with his Devil Fruit keeping him cool. You’ll be overstimulated long before he’s tired—but he’ll never push you past what you want.

T = Toys

He prefers using his powers—ice cuffs, cool surfaces, frozen toys he makes just for you. But if you bring something to him, he’s curious and unbothered. He loves watching you squirm under a toy while he just watches.

U = Unfair

Exceptionally. Kuzan is a tease. He’ll finger you under a blanket while pretending to nap. He’ll stop right before you come and say, “What’s wrong? You were almost there…” with a lazy grin. Evil.

V = Volume

He’s quiet—deep groans, hissed breaths, a low growl when he gets close. But if you make him lose control? You’ll hear a deep, hoarse moan right against your ear. He’s filthy in that moment.

W = Wild Card

One time, he made an ice mirror so he could see the way your body arched under him from behind. He doesn’t usually admit it, but he likes to watch—especially the way your body reacts to his every slow thrust.

X = X-Ray

He’s long, thick, and heavy when hard. Not cartoonish—just… intimidating. He stretches you slow every time and always watches your face as he presses in, like he's memorizing every breath you take.

Y = Yearning

He’s a slow burn. He doesn’t act clingy, but when he wants you, you’ll know—he’ll hover close, brush your skin “accidentally,” wrap an arm around you and stay there. His need is quiet, steady, but burning. Once he starts, it’s not stopping.

Z = ZZZ

Cuddles hard after sex, whether he admits it or not. You end up tangled with him under the covers, your back to his chest, long limbs wrapped around you like a human blanket. He snores softly, lips in your hair.

I simply couldn't resist. Also tagging @shanksbaby because she loves him as much as I do 🤭❤️

LONG POST INCOMING!!

my rankings on which forsakeners would survive charlie slimecicle’s gay high school adventures bc im fixating on that damn show of all things

FOR CONTEXT. Its a gacha life series where characters based on minecraft youtubers live in a homoromantic society thats really heterophobic. The soot family is a very very heterophobic family where they actually kill straights, Wilbur is the one that acts upon this the most. U should totally watch it for the full story despite it being left permanently unfinished due to allegations against important characters ummm okSO

c00lkiddlings will be ranked

starting off we have noob. Its hard to tell if theyd survive since theyre genfluid but seeing as their party skin is femme and in csghsa the most popular ships for different characters are canon love, I’m gonna say they have a crush on guest 666 who I hc as masc presenting SO theyre technically a het. Their survival will depend on how well they can keep their sexuality hidden, which I think they’d be able to do well, excusing it as friendship AND even changing how they present in order to stay safe.

Noob would survive gay high school

Noob would not survive the allegations

next is 007n7. That man is very clearly a homosexual so he’ll be fine. And also uhh guys having children is canon so even if c00lkidd was biologically related to 007n7 he’d be just fine. If there were accusations, he has the c00lgui, so with a little hacking work, he could find a way to escape or fight back. 

007n7 would survive gay high school. 

007n7 would probably survive the allegations

i think shedletsky should be next. In forsaken canon, he has a wife, in forsaken fanon, he’s a dirty homo, so I’m gonna balance it out as him being bisexual. There’s not much information on how they treat bisexuals in csghsa, but since they’re still somewhat straight, Shedletsky might be in trouble. Shed gives off the typa vibes where he’d point at a girl and whisper to his homosexual friend that she’s hot, so Shed may be done for, IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT HE CAN FIGHT!! Many people in csghsa have powers and shedletsky def would be one of these guys so I think his power would be related to the sfoth swords, which would be very powerful. With some luck, he could probably defeat Wilbur or whoever else would attack him. 

Shedletsky would survive gay high school. 

Shedletsky would survive the allegations. 

Guest 1337 is in the same situation as shedletsky. Canonically has a wife (and even a kid) and is treated as a dirty homo by the fandom, so he’s balanced out as another bisexual. Again, he would likely be targeted for liking girls, but he can also fight, so there’s that. The thing is, he fights without powers, so he’d be at a natural disadvantage despite being trained by the army. Actually, he might not even be let into the army for being heterosexual, so theres a chance he doesnt have that training. In order to survive gay high school, he’d either have to dig deep into his gay side, or have the strength to beat an entire zombie army AND one of the most powerful gays on earth WITHOUT professional army training. 

Guest 1337 might survive gay high school. 

Guest 1337 might survive the allegations

Next up we have the fabled two time. Masc presenting and canonically in a gay relationship, they’d survive easily. The issue only comes if either Two Time or Azure chose to present femininely, which the fandom sometimes does. As long as they both present the same way, Two time would be just fine! Now if they were to present oppositely, there would come the question of if they’d be mentally well enough to fight back against the soot family army, to which I say no. 

Two time probably would survive gay high school. 

Two time would not survive the allegations. 

Next is chance, my he/they enby king. Now, he’s obviously gay, and the fandom rarely portrays them as femme, so they’d be fine. If there were accusations, he has a damn gun. 

Chance would survive gay high school. 

Chance would survive the allegations. 

Moving onto supports, we have Elliot. There’s a lot of difference in how elliot’s portrayed, and there’s the variable of them canonically using any pronouns, but since most of his ships are with men, as long as he presents masc and doesnt use she/her, elliot would be fine. If they ever get into the situation where she does find herself being accused of being straight, she wouldn’t be able to fight back very well, but that’s unlikely with how often Elliot’s canonically and fanonically referred to as male. 

Elliot would survive gay high school. 

Elliot would not survive the allegations

Builderman is next and there’s no denying he’s “one of them queers”. I don’t believe he has a wife, and he isn’t shipped with any women, so heterosexuality is out of the question. He’d be just fine. Even if there were accusations, he has a damn sentry. May not kill in-game, but being pelted with bullets would not leave you unscathed. 

Builderman would survive gay high school. 

Builderman would survive the allegations

Dusekkar is up next and being shipped with a ton of men makes him a prime contender for attending a pride parade. However, there is the fact that I headcanon him as a closeted transfem due to her loveshot skin being canonically transfem. This transition would technically make her straight. There’s not much info on trans people outside of ranboo wearing the girls school uniform in the first episode, which isnt discussed much in the first place. Of course, base dusekkar is still a guy, so he’d be fine on his own, but if she was a trans girlie, she’d be done for. I won’t consider transfem Dusekkar in my final decision, but in terms of allegations, she may be able to hold the army off for a little bit, but definitely not forever. 

Dusekkar would survive gay high school. 

Dusekkar would not survive the allegations. 

Taph is a little hard to say, most people make him gay, and some aroace. I’m gonna say he’s gay just for convenience. He would be just fine as a little homo, but if they suspect he might be a straighty, well… he’d be just fine. This man canonically has bombs in his house. Taph could easily take down the army if he had enough traps to do so. Yes I know bombs dont do damage in-game but theyre still fucking bombs dude. 

Taph would survive gay high school

Taph would survive the allegations. 

Moving onto killers lets start off with jason. Its hard to say what his sexuality would be, but some people ship him with guys so he’d do just fine. Hes also clearly in love with his knife so i’m saying hes objectum as well, which may not be taken very well by the gay high school society since they aren’t very commonly accepted in normal society. He may get harassed a little over it, but wouldn’t really be attacked too much over it. Not targeted by the soot family at least. Now if he was accused… well… obviously the killers are gonna do well if accused of being straight. Theyre killers. HOWEVER! Jason’s just a normal dude, a little childish even. He def won’t preform as well as other killers would, so he’d be able to hold out for a little while, but as all mortals do, he’d get overtaken eventually. 

Jason would survive gay high school. 

Jason would not survive the allegations. 

Now onto the c00lkiddlings. Why am I considering the c00lkiddlings? Well, I began questioning my sexuality around age 10, so why cant they? I will be considering the possibility of change since they’re still young and I’ve changed a lot since I first went woke. 

C00lkidd is tough to tell since he’s a kid and nobody really gives queer hcs to kids. Most I’ve seen is aroace, which I’ll stick with for now. 

There isn’t any info on how they’d treat anyone but straights and gays, so I have to infer a little. I’d say they’d mostly ignore c00lkidd for being aroace. Picking him last when making teams, being forced to pair up with whoever else is left during partners, sitting by himself during lunch, bumped into in the hallways without so much as a glance at him, the usual. He’d survive, but it won’t be fun.

C00lkidd would survive gay high school. 

Bluudud, well, if you’ve heard those audios -you’d know what im talking about if you’ve heard them- he seems to be a little queer. I assume they aren’t canon, but it’s what I’m working with since theres almost no queer hcs for him. 

Bluudud would survive gay high school. 

Pr3typriincess (not sure if i spelled that right) is probably the most cishet coded character ever. I doubt the soot family would set an entire army on an eleven year old, but she’d definitely get bullied over it. If they got physical, she had better say her prayers. Now once she hits high school like I’d assume she’d be in by the time the series would start, she might end up getting killed over being straight. 

Pr3typriincess would most likely not survive gay high school. 

Now, why did I not discuss allegations for the c00lkiddlings? Well, again. They’re kids. Wilbur would not attack them himself. But they would get bullied if they were accused of being straight. IF they were in high school during the series and they WERE attacked, assuming they aren’t under the specter’s influence and they didn’t have the powers I mentioned earlier, their parents would be arranging their funeral long before the attack. 

The c00lkiddlings would most likely not survive the allegations. 

Back to the killers, John Doe is another shedletsky. Canon wife, fanon husband, balanced to bisexuality. Probably would survive being attacked. 

John Doe would survive gay high school. 

John Doe would survive the allegations.  

1x1x1x1 is obviously gonna be classified as gay. If there were allegations, they’d probably be able to crush Wilbur’s skull before the attacks even start. 

1x1x1x1 would survive gay high school

1x1x1x1 would survive the allegations.

idk, there's a lot of social degradation traditionally associated with being a married-in husband, which is one of the many reasons he'd hate it, but i haven't read anything to the effect that--in the absence of any other male family members--he doesn't retain the considerable legal rights of a husband? relative to the wife herself?

the subservient position of the zhuixu is relative to the wife's family, his inlaws, who own the house and are presumably on her side against him. he is symbolically emasculated. he has given up the right and duty to perpetuate his own lineage that are supposed to place the husband at the center of the family.

a lot of the structural elements that traditionally leave the wife vulnerable are thus reversed.

but these are immediate, personal elements, or symbolic social ones. not broad legal ones. because this sort of marriage is not intended as a deconstruction or evasion of the patriarchy, but as a maneuver to maintain the continuity that holds patriarchy in place. at the expense of the individual man involved.

that's why there's so much shame attached to the feminizing position of married-in husband; if it wasn't degrading and bad for the individual man, it might work to lower the relative status of men-as-a-whole and have a broader egalitarian impact, which was to be avoided. (modern matrilocal marriages are coming from a more women's rights place and the backlash reflects that, but the anxieties in play haven't changed, only the balance.)

so, therefore, that lowering is a social and customary one, more than it is legal. and legally, the husband of the sole heiress to an estate gets that estate.

normally, to add to the property of his own family, which he per normal marriage scenario still belongs to, but like. a man without his family behind him is a stripped and lonely thing, but he possesses legal adult status in a way a woman did not. he may be half a man but he is a man yet.

shen jiu can't take the money back to his natal family, but he almost certainly doesn't know who they are anyway and wouldn't want to, fuck 'em. with her family dead, a lot of the disadvantages of being married in become less pronounced.

in modern chinese property law, women can inherit property in their own right with no quibbling, so the modern matrilocally married man can be cleanly excluded. but historically, a great deal of ink was spilled in the desperate attempt to patch all loopholes allowing women to legally hold and or control inheritances.

obviously this means all loopholes were being used, but at that point you're in a situation where how things play out comes down to the personalities involved. qiu haitang is simply not going to be fighting shen jiu for full dominance over the money.

even if she did a lot of growing up, he would have to alienate her really badly for that to happen.

(honestly a very probable eventual outcome of this is for him to get more and more neurotic due to the psychological pressures of this situation, and the disrespect he was getting, and the gap between his theoretical and actual social position, until something happens that leads to qht forming the idea that he murdered her brother for the inheritance, and then the already profoundly strained marriage implodes.)

like, shen jiu's function is to get a son on qiu haitang so her family line can continue, both of them are effectively reduced to vessels of reproductive transmission, but in the meantime he is the man of the house in this scenario.

inasmuch as he can get anyone to acknowledge that, which is the tricky bit. because it's not his family house and lineage, after all. he hasn't got one.

if he started irresponsibly frittering away the estate, he'd probably have to be dragged to court to make him stop. because no specific person would have the clear power to make him stop unilaterally--he might have married into his wife's family, but that doesn't literally make her his husband.

he'd lose the case, probably, especially if the intended son of qiu in whose name he could be said to act did not actually exist yet, but not necessarily so much because the law was clear, as because socially speaking there would be more on-the-spot interest in enforcing his subaltern status than his wife's, since she wasn't the one getting above herself, and her interests and those of the qiu line could be assumed in alignment.

and also shen jiu is canonically unwilling to defend himself in court lmao.

so what any possible cousins of qiu haitang's think about all this, if they exist, would be very important to how it played out.

in summary, neither qiu haitang nor shen jiu is in a position to inherit in a clean and legally unburdened manner, due to various layers of class and gender (but mostly gender) fuckery, but i'm confident that in the absence of organized opposition he would definitely stand as the acting master of the house, if only to hold it in trust for his future son.

he almost certainly wouldn't really take the qiu name though, that would be deeply weird. i just wanted that punchline.

So you know how Qiu Jianluo betrothed his little sister to her favorite plaything, a slave he had really conspicuously not manumitted? And it's creepy for a bunch of reasons including that one of the motives was, it meant he could avoid marrying her out of his household?

So notably, there was a longstanding institution irl of indenturing little girls so they grew up doing domestic labor as bondswomen, and then when one grew up the master was supposed to find her a good husband, using his much better resources than her family had.

Managing to turn this into a daughter-in-law audition by making yourself indispensable to the household, so they'd marry you in and up, was sort of the brass ring lol. I don't think it happened that much for real but it makes such a good story, right?

Shen Jiu was doing this trope gender reversed and very much against his will, which I think goes on the list of gendered tropes getting fucked with.

But seriously, if he had married Qiu Haitang and her brother dropped dead, like. What would that situation have looked like? I think that would make Shen Jiu the legitimate inheritor of the Qiu estate, since Airplane in his wife collection narrative had no reason to alter the historical fiction norm (even more emphatic than the historical norm) that women could only function as vessels of transmission for real property, rather than direct heirs.

Except he'd have to get his manumission officialized first, probably?? So irregular.

Also tho, imagine Yue Qingyuan shows up at the gates having fractured his own soul in desperation to get back and he arrives to find not a smoking ruin, but a household headed by the scrawny angry teenage master of the estate, Qiu Jiu.

The (character) assassination of Wanda Maximoff by the coward Joe Quesada

Charles Xavier is not a psychotherapist

After giving her coworkers some unwelcome feedback, Wanda Maximoff is in a bit of a state. For some reason Xavier thinks he can help by shouting at her. He's a PHD in psychiatry but his record in nurturing the mental health of others is ... shit. He's really bad at this okay. There's a whole thing with Wanda's kids not existing and it doesn't make a lot of sense tbh. Whether by magic or reality warping she's not allowed to create kids for reasons unstated.

This back and forth goes on for a while but Chuck deems no progress made. Just ... Let her have the kids dude. Wanda reality warps to undo tragedy, harming nobody, and Chuck just yells at her to stop. It's profoundly cruel and unproductive. Marvel events play fast and loose with narrative causality and characterisation but House of M is so fucking egregious. The misogyny and ableism behind it is still felt today. Ironically, Charles Xavier is probably the worst parent on the island.

Generally speaking Magneto is a terrible parent but here and now he does want to be there for Wanda. When it was just him being supportive he read to her and spent time with her while she slept. As much as you can help someone with grief that's about all you can do. Now Wanda's powers are ... making her crazy? I guess? Let's not beat around the bush - it's ridiculous framing. House of M contains oh so much man pain compared to voicing the pain of Wanda.

Chuck has been telepathically drugging and sedating Wanda, and he's baffled as to why she's not magically getting better. Sounds like torture to me, frankly. Classic Chuck to first present it as inhumane, then not foolproof, then admit it's not working. If it was working you bet your bottom dollar he'd continue with what he's already doing. He says Magneto shouldn't blame himself (he should) and that she's a grown woman. That sounds like blaming Wanda to me. You'd think he'd have learnt his lesson from sedating and drugging his son David for years without improvement (by his metrics.) Nyet.

That's a pretty reductive summation of their history but the broad strokes are there. Mags was an abusive maniac to the twins before they knew they were related, and his behaviour since then has been... mixed, at best. His culpability is severe but it's often used to minimise anyone else's. The Avengers have been pretty awful here and there as well, especially here reproductive autonomy is concerned. Ask Carol about that one.

Mags casually walking on the sky is pretty damn cool and he should do it more often. IDK why he's doing it now, but good for him I guess.

Sometime shortly, The Avengers and X-Men get together to 'decide the fate' of Wanda. It's like they know they're in an event and dutifully summon everyone they know to argue. Their sources for this decision are not especially reliable, and a lot of people that should know better are either silent or absent.

Pietro knows what's up. The gathered heroes are just giving off that vibe. He's obviously not happy about the prospect at all, but Magneto is not much help. I find it hard to believe he'd think they may be right. He's a terrible father but he's not an idiot. He asks 'what would you have me do?' as if there aren't hundreds of options that don't involve killing Wanda. Let her have the kids! Take her to space or something. Isn't there a mutant cure kicking around ATM? None of these are mentioned.

Back at the brain trust zero progress has been made. Emma has Logan's script and advocates for killing her, and Logan obviously callously agrees. This frames the argument as 'kill Wanda: Y/N?' and magic/telepathy the only possible solutions. Pietro was right, honestly, but Wanda doesn't even get a voice. Cap insists that there's always another way, but nobody has one. In the end, everyone heads to Genosha to talk to Wanda but we'll never know how that would have gone. House of M isn't interested in asking those questions at all.

I'm skipping the entire event here because the focus is Wanda and she's not a character in the House of M reality. She's barely a character in 616 at this time, simplified into 'crazy mother.' I certainly blame Brian Michael Bendis, as the writer of this event, but it was Quesada's decision and the buck stops with him. Mutants (allegedly) needed to be decimated and Wanda was the means. After using her similarly for Avengers Disassembled it's wild in retrospect that they doubled down. Not surprising, of course, but considering how many people would have had the chance to say 'this is sexist and ableist garbage' before it went to print...

Worst of all, 'no more mutants' defined and derailed Wanda Maximoff's character for decades. I'd say she's only escaped the shadow of it in the last few years, but her peers never had to face their part in the tragedy. I was glad that she was being used as Krakoa's boogeyman because it highlighted how ridiculous the whole thing is. It also led to her reclaiming her narrative, which needed to happen but it's not a good look. I will do a part 2 covering that end soon.

[slymanner]

Look all I'm saying is if that a shadow game can work THAT well and be so well designed story wise and gameplay wise

HE can work

fav niche little headcanon is that basilio becomes the self proclaimed grandparent to any kid olivia or lonqu has. like he RAISED those two (he didnt but he’ll take credit for it) hes GONNA get grandkids one way or another. fav thing ever is olivia!lucina recontexualizing the scene where lucina begs basilio not to go fight walhart because he literally helped raised her he was the best patty cake player on the entire continent… that is HER GRANDFATHER and he is GOING TO DIE like omfg. i know im pretty deep into the tharjabelle train on this blog but there was a time where i was super into lonqu/tharja (i still REALLY like them i just ended up liking tharja yuri better sue me) and basilio and noire was like. the cutest combo ever. yes this IS my coward little granddaughter but make her mad and she could rival all of ferox’s greatest warriors. he loves her so much

[cosmic-walkers]

okay im gonna get off of steve and tom wolf hall parallels but i can't get over the whole father parallel things.

the more i think about it, the more at least in the show the whole wolsey bastard situation probably pissed stephen off because he saw how dorthea was essentially treated the same way he was treated by his own father. wolsey probably reminded stephen of his own father, in a negative way. because he had to have known about it. he probably had such a high opinion of wolsey at first, and then saw how dorthea was hushed away like a nuisance, and again, that is what happened to stephen. it's like they were both punished for being born out of wedlock.

which is so funny because the contrast to thomas is that thomas also saw wolsey as his father, a father figure who saved him and whom he loved. one who would never hurt him, and actually gave him the chance to be well, him. they were both essentially 'sons' of wolsey, sons that he had brought up, both lowborn just like wolsey but they also had such different views. and stephen started to resent him, even if in secret. at least in the show - because historically wolsey and stephen were besties.

i know we don't really develop into stephen's mind, but we know his parental situation in the book is a sore spot for him and i *think* that context is left out of the show. but that would've been another awesome parallel between them.

now tho, if stephen and thomas were friends, and stephen saw how thomas treated his own bastard now that probably would've given thomas some points in his book--

The Lightning/Thunder Beast

Son Hak is amazing. I'm not even fully sure I can detail all the ways that he is, but it leads me to wonder a question. Where does he really come from? Hak is an orphan from the Wind Tribe, but we know nothing of his biological family. He might not have even been from that tribe originally. I just want to know what type of DNA leads to the sheer awesomeness that is him. When I first started the show, I had Avatar the Last Airbender on the brain and just assumed that the Wind Tribe = airbenders. It was how I had to rationalize him being this skilled because mere mortals can't compare. As I read more of the manga, I continue to be impressed. Comparing him to the dragons, the actual mythical beings, Hak doesn't need to get saved half as often. Not even one-quarter as often if we're being honest. So, how do dragons with magical powers need to be rescued, but not a "normal" 18/19-year old? Is he actually the Darkness Dragon?? I would 100% believe that. He's just on a different level from other people. I wish. WISH we knew more of his backstory. I want to know who his parents were, if he has any siblings (because those could be very interesting to see. Imagine the help or the horror if they're evil), and how he came to be in general. For now, I suppose I'll just have to speculate. I do want to do a fanfic of that some day. I'd love it if the manga beat me to it and gave me a canon answer though...just throwing that out there.

jay not asking coach about letting lonnie onto the team bc he doesn’t want to do anything coach might disagree with…….

yknow it is more than a bit of a mild shame that while sam internally was written with the intent of discussing being undocumented, and Ten Fingers tried to be an antagonist at least touching on the vulnerability and desperation produced by the immigration system, being the only villain that directly comments on this, he's still Chinese (sinophobic design n all). the only time sam comes into conflict with the law in being undocumented, he's made to bow his head and work with it by Daredevil's ask. and I think he should've punched some ICE officers.

[imunbreakabledude]

i miss writing donald shaw so much. it's wild that i forget sometimes that in canon he really is just an asshole who works at taco bell. like when i see a gif/clip of that bit i just can't help but smile and almost tear up a bit because i'm like HE GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR HER... AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW!!! writing my most recent fic i honestly had to stop myself from somehow making it about him, a little bit, because I'm like: the saddest part isn't even that maeve died and both elena and annie lost her... the saddest part is maeve died thinking her dad didn't love her!!!! donald shaw you are my most unexpected favorite character i can't believe the only canonical facts about you are that you are a gambling addict who owns a taco bell franchise location
