#ll interactions: vera ll

5, 9, 12 (can be a case, a game, an arc, whatever), 19 (go for it :P)

I can’t believe I have to put a disclaimer but I know how this fandom is with snooping around, so I’ll make one: these are my opinions, and boy are they salty.  As such, I’ve tried to slash out tags of ever ship mentioned in here (regardless of positive or negative speak of it), so let me know if anything shows up in the tags and I”ll go back and block it, because I”m not trying to spread hate; I’m answering questions for a friend who enjoys my saltiness >:pIf you don’t agree with my opinions, that’s fine, good for you, i don’t think everyone has to agree with me, just as I don’t agree with everyone.   Don’t try to engage me in a conversation about it because you can not possibly imagine how much I do not care.

 Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?*I’ve already talked before aboutKl/apol/lo being the main answer for this (more so than Nar/u/mitsu Iguess because at least I understand where Nar/u/mitsu comes from) soI’ll mention these two:I wouldn’t say that the fandom hasmade me dislike La/namia, but it’s really disheartening that there’sso much content of it that’s either blatantly bisexual erasure(“they’re lesbians sorry i don’t make the rules!” shit likethat) and/or is less about celebrating the pairing and more of avessel to spread hatred of Godot (and very occasionally Jake).  So asa result I don’t actively seek out content for it the way I do otherships I like, which sucks, because  I don’t get to enjoy it as muchas I want to.  It’s my fave f/f ship after Junith/ena, mostdefinitely.As for a pairing I was originally indifferent tothat the fandom has soured me on?  Lmao Simon/Nahyuta anyone?  Backbefore SoJ came out and this was a crack ship that was born out of“omg Simon would think Nahyuta is so anime bishie! ^_^”(because they were aching for a male character to ship Simon with,I’m sure), I was just like “whatever.  Immature and side-eyeinducing, but ultimately, whatever.” Now, after seeing their purely negativeinteraction in SoJ treated as “omgz sexual tension!” when,if it was a heterosexual pairing, I GUARANTEE it would becondemned/considered wildly unhealthy (Kl/ema is the closest thing Ican compare it to?  Like, can’t bitches just dislike each other???),I can not possibly roll my eyes hard enough at this steaming garbageship and the idea that Yuty’s precious luv will heal Simon’s abusedbroken baby birb soul! And omgz they’re so hawtttt together i hopedem boiz maek out xD! It just reeks of “yaoi” fandom (andyes I mean that in a derogatory sense).  Oh, and don’t forget thatFulbright isn’t dead now, because he’s not even treated like he was alive in the first place! he’s just a plot device for Simon to angstover even more so Yuty has more chances to soothe him!  Ew.I mean, I guess it boils down to, Iwouldn’t dislike this ship so much if it was actually acknowledged asa silly crack ship instead of being extolled and placed on thispedestal as if it’s some pinnacle of how a relationship should be. Because ah, no, as a legitimate pairing it really is total andcomplete shit.Most disliked character(s)? Why?GOD well my most hated characters arecharacters we’re supposed to dislike, and/or love to hate?  I sayKristoph a lot for this since Klavier is one of my faves, and becuaseof how innocent Vera was.  Gant and MvK too, because of (likeKristoph) how long they were willing to be so self-serving anddeceitful and manipulative and had no guilt over their crimes?  But Imight hate Kristoph the most because, like Dahlia for you, Holly, Isee him get a lot of apologists, which is gross.

 I see this a lot for Phanty too, theapologists and humanization of him when he’s nothing but fuckingtrash, and I hate the fandom for it? but I don’t care about Phantyenough to really hate him (opposed to hating a certainship involving him COUGH COUGH). He’s just like some meme to me; Ilaugh at him and would rather spend my time focusing on Fulbright andhow much I like him because he’s the one who deserves my time, notthis loser^.   

Kristoph, however, was a betterdeveloped/written character. Even though we don’t know what’s behindhis psych-locks, and granted his motive was petty, I think that’swhat makes him interesting and creepy and realistic, and therefore heevokes a stronger opinion from me.

Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I really like TUrnabout BIg Top a lot, because I generally like ensemble casts such as this, and Acro is one of my favorite murderers.  I definitely understand why it makes people uncomfortable but I also have to wonder if people dislike it and JfA in general for the reason that there is little interaction between Nick and Edgey.   I don’t think Moe is as annoying as the fandom generally thinks he is, either, I honestly find him pretty sympathetic in many ways; it’s just his testimony that’s frustrating, as the player.

 It puzzles me when this fandom whines for poc/disabled characters and then we have Acro (even though he assumably wasn’t born physically disabled considering he was a professional acrobat but) and lmao no he’s boring.  But wait, actually, it doesn’t puzzle me…  because..... (see below)

What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

Oh there’s more than one thing, and it’s certainly not exclusive to the AA fandom but:

If you think ANY character (other than a commonly hated one like Godot of course) is white OR cis OR straight OR neurotypical you’re a horrible person who doesn’t support marginalized folks! 

Along that vein, if you don’t ship X popular gay ship/do ship x het ship, you obviously are just a homophobe! and should kys because you don’t ~respect the source material~ 

Also along that vein, a character is ONLY interesting if you slap on random labels re: their sexuality/gender identity/mental health because that’s what defines them, of course!

Female characters can do whatever the fuck they want and can not be criticized for it, because it’s always justified and they’re always the victims but if you like a morally grey male character (or even just find him interesting as a character!)… that’s right!  You’re awful!

On a more personal note:  It’s perfectly acceptable to develop an AU where Dadworth lives, or where Mia lives, or where Clay lives, or Jove lives, or literally any character not named Fulbright lives, but if you ship (ACTUAL) Black/bright  you’re an idiot who isn’t following canon, how dare you!I hated this fandom going into it so I’ve kind of been like… resilliant to letting it get to me too much, and I have made some wonderful friends and it’s really reinvigorated my love for writing, which is important.  BUt on a whole, it’s a shit fandom and I advise against people getting too involved in it, if they have any opinions on the games/ships/characters that might mildly differ from the majority.

Nightcreeper Yandere AU: the start

N/A: Meh, just want to write this instead of watching the game.Is just how I vision those two to meet.

@djinmer4

The New Gotham has a rich history among the US either good or bad is up to debate, but, one thing is for sure the Gotham News is one of most historic buildings that still works, each day, each reporter brings a news to its citizen as a sacred duty.

However, Gotham is deadly and many buildings, despite its importance have been destroyed (by the heroes or villains) so, in order to preserve the Gotham News, J. J. James decided to get an insurance from the best insurance corporation Gotham has, Hartz, and it should be an easy cake, but Gotham is never easy.

"Big open windows? Perfect for villains to enter the building, tsk tsk" A woman with a bright pink(and tight) skirt, a white blouse and a brooch and a big clipboard and a professional face on her smile. Her brown doe eyes are focused on the papers, and her chestnut hair tightly locks on a bun.  

J. J. James with a cigar on his mouth is silent, maybe regretting the decision to call Hartz or maybe regretting his life´s choice. The current chef of Gotham news is along with one of the best reporters, shareholders and one of the big names are in one room seeing a tiny worker of Hartz.

"Look, Miss Pryde" J.J. James tries to explain himself but is ignored altogether.

"Hum, and what you would do if Columbina or Green witch decided to attack the building?" she said writing on the clipboard and the others just gasp loudly, everyone but one reporter.

"Columbina? that pretty thing?" Kurt Ryder asked with his eyes focused on the petite woman at the centre of the room, as a ringleader giving instructions to the others, the woman didn´t bulge or halt her actions.

"Columbina as that dangerous and smart? Yes, of course, but you are right, she is pretty" she said still writing on her paper" A famous reporter as yourself should know about this"

"Duly noted, Miss Pryde" the German accent did little to hide the small giggles coming from his mouth, Vera Sweet who was sitting next to him just rolls her eyes.

"Ignored the kraut, Columbina and the Green Witch is not to joke around, we just hope they never decided to attack us," Vera Sweet told Kitty as a good student answering to her teacher.

"Of course, they wouldn´t attack us...they like when we publish articles about them, so why they would attack us?" Kurt Ryder explained with a smile ignoring Vera Sweet´s antics, still focused on the small(ringleader) woman in front of him.

"Still is good to remember they can kick ass, Mr Ryder, and this will increase in the insurance" she now looks at J.J. James sharply and the man gulps " after all, we do take insurance policy seriously, many people in the past have committed fraud, right Mr James" the woman said cooly and the man gulp once again.

Kurt Ryder´s eyes are completely on her form.

"Very well, but ...is this going to take long?" said nervous and Kitty just smiles.

"I´ll have to make an inspection of the building before to do the budget,"  Kitty explained" by the way, you also need to beware of the Nightcreeper"

Many reactions come from each member in the room.

"He is real?!"

"OH, NO, everyone but him"

"You know the Nightcreeper?" Is Kurt only question to the lady."Beware of the Nightcreeper I like the sound of that" flashing a grin the man would continue to talk but Vera Sweet promptly shut him up as the lady really has no time for such questions.

"Yep, I do know him, saw him in my line of work, funny fellow, that creeper" she jokes then makes a startling sound and moves her attention to Mr James " Oh, he too can destroy that place, the insurance here is not going to be cheap, but is worth to keep such building and its people, of course, save, right, James?" The man didn´t dare to say anything, every time he complains or try to lower the price things ended up badly for him.

"So, it all, for now, folks," Kitty said and leaves the room without any ceremony, the others are discussing the wackos of that city, Kurt Ryder for his part is truly fascinated in today´s events.

Some time went by and Columbina couldn´t hide in her office forever, is always fun walk around and see what this city can throw at her. Tonight is just her, Lorna said she has to finish her report("or else...i´ll lose my job or something like that") the shops on Gotham looks very unprotected.

Her black and white outfits along with the ace symbol of her face still give the impression that she is a character out of Wonderland, one of the cards that follow the queen. The big hammer she carries breaks the illusion in one second.

Especially the jewellery ones, Kitty knows thanks to her line of work, that those are fakes(no one would put real diamonds in a display like that even if Gotham was the safest city ever) but they are very tempting and Kitty wonders, even if for just a moment.

"Ah, Liebling, Stehlen ist falsch," a voice followed by a maniac laughter make itself know and Kitty, with her weapon of choice, is ready to fight.

"Show yourself, stranger...and speak a language I can understand"

"Sorry, I got carry away, "and in a brimstone smoke Nightcreeper is finally in front of the petite woman, Kitty did use her hammer but nothing happened. This only makes him giggles" You´re funny, I like that, but you shouldn´t think of steal, besides, I thought everyone in Hartz received an extremely good salary"

"W-what?"

"You are Kitty Pryde, the famous Columbina, and I´m so glad to finally meet you...in person"

"You are?"

"Ja, I´m...I like people who enjoy Cartoons" Nightcreeper said and Kitty blinks.

"This is so rare, people usually say the opposite, but hey, creepy...you won´t take me to jail"

"Who says I want to arrest you?" now he says a bit more seductive and coming closer to her " I want to know you, Columbina, is a shame we never interacted in the past and I want to change that"

The Gotham´s Newspaper has a real hot topic to talk about, Nightcreeper and Columbina met and painted the city in red, no, literally in red. Last night was the night to reference Alice in Wonderland for those two.

Why Every Guy Should Splurge On A Quality Moisturizer

Men have come a long way in terms to personal skincare. Statistics show that about half the men in America right now use some sort of moisturizer on a daily basis, an unfathomable figure, even just a decade ago. But the modern man is well informed, well dressed, and in most cases, well moisturized. These significant leaps forward indicate an awareness lost on most men of the past and the unsaved caveman of the present.

Yet even those of you with a consciousness of the good moisturizing can do still have a few lessons to learn. Sure, your basics are sound, but are you using the right product for your skin type? Are you considering your age? Or better yet, the climate you live in? There are endless factors to take into consideration — including that of cost. Nowadays, you can get a moisturizer from anywhere between $10 and $100 dollars. And depending on your budget, splurging on a quality moisturizer could be the difference between good and great skin. If you can afford to, here”s why you should max out on skincare. 

To Combat Oily Skin

Most think oily skin is only illuminated with the addition of a moisturizer. Actually, that couldn”t be further from the truth. A great oil-free moisturizer will effectively balance your skin, ensuring that natural oils don”t leave your face but remain properly contained. Look for a product with quality natural ingredients like dimethicone — a solution that leaves skin hydrated with a matte-like finish. Also make sure the product is lightweight. Anything too heavy won”t help oily skin. Malin+Goetz Vitamin E Face Moisturizer offers a great, lightweight formula. $46.00 at Amazon.com

You”ll Look More Youthful Than Ever

If you”re already up on serums and the good they bring, cheers to you. But if that”s a little beyond your limits of self-indulgence, a great anti-aging moisturizer is the perfect fix. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, protein and of course, collagen, a high end anti-aging cream truly goes a long way towards lasting, youthful good looks.

So, what do all these ingredients do to keep your skin looking vibrant over time? Essentially, those aforementioned ingredients — along with many others — all work together to protect your skin from the environment around you, infection that leads to acne and irritation, and inflammation that deteriorates skin over the years. All this ties into cell-communication, which is when healthy cells interact with damaging ones in an effort to regenerate those harmful old cells. Linseed extract, too, will aid in the removal of destructive skin cells. Jack Black Protein Booster is the perfect combination of vitamins and antioxidants. $62.00 at Sephora.com

Because There”s No Weatherman For Your Skin

Although summer is almost at its weary end, without the proper protection those dreadfully warm months can do some serious damage to your skin. And if you live in a place like, say, Texas, where the cooler climate last all of one month out of the year, you”ll require a moisturizer with SPF 30 or 50 to protect your face until the sun fades each day. Conversely, those of you who experience a true winter and won”t see much of that large ball of fire in the sky for weeks on end, shouldn’t let the pale blues get you down. A tinted moisturizer will help provide light and tonal balance to your skin when a natural tan really isn”t an option. To get the most out a tinted moisturizer can offer, try out Urth Skin Solutions Hydra Therapy. $56.00 at Amazon.com

Introducing The Ultimate Dry Skin Savior

Now, on down to the essential nature of the moisturizer — dry skin. This is common for most men. Even those with oily skin often still suffer from the annoyingly distressing flakey, dehydrated skin. Really and truly, if you splurge on a quality moisturizer you should take no shame in doing so if this afflicts you. Go for something chalk full of glycerin as it helps cells absorb and cling onto much needed moisture. This solution should be thicker, fuller and laced with ingredients that pull water form beneath the skin’s surface to hydrate longer and more congruent. Lastly, make sure humectants play a large role in your purchase. Some iterations of this cosmetic ingredient not only help the skin maintain moisture, but actually attract it from other sources. If your dry skin is getting the best of you, consider Evolution Man Moisture Protect. $24.99 at Amazon.com

Because You Can Spot Treat With Ease

Even those with great skin experience the occasional blemish or two. Don”t sweat it, though. There are actually moisturizers that double as spot treatments. With ingredients that hydrate and offer combative essentials to prevent future breakouts, Retinol, for example, is a fundamental additive to help reduce redness without drying your skin out in the process. Vitamin A, E and a high concentrate of aloe vera also repair skin cells and help reduce the appearance of blemishes. For a facial repair formula that marries hydration and skin repair, try Buckler”s Daily Face Repair. $42.00 at TheMotley.com
