#lmao this was a fun little break

[poisonf0rest]

Around what time (like event/card) do you think MC and Rafayel hopped to bed first time together? 👀Asking for scientific reasons obviously

Apologies for how long this took, love. I put on my detective glasses and went HUNTING.

So let's break it down shall we? I used https://www.tumblr.com/irandial/754337410204254208/god-bless-strong-soldiers-doing-all-the-hard-work?source=share this timeline.

For this analysis I'm only staying within the "modern/current" timeline since I can't call the sea god mc and current mc the same, but she better have fucked sea god raf too before she died or else I'll riot, so technically that would be "first." Also there's debate on whether Abysswalker is the the past/future (or alternate reality) so we also won't touch those cards.

Before Sunrise 5S - Rafayel says it's his "first time sharing a bed" so we know this is the starting point, although safe to say nothing happened during that card.

Affinity 35 - They're all domestic, definitely edging closer to the line but I still think the most blatantly romantic thing that's happened is a few heated gazes and accidental touches.

Your Fragrance 5S - Controversially, I don't think this is the one. I think after Raf corners mc in the bathroom they definitely make out but Rafayel does say "I'm not going to do anything to you" and mc wouldn't take advantage of him like this. This bursts the "just friends" bubble though and makes it clear they want each other.

Tipsy Invitation 5S - So much flirting, lots of glances, drunk confessions. HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE, HE ALREADY HAS A SHIBARI/BONDAGE CARD??? After rewatching absolutely nothing Rafayel said was subtle, they definitely fucked as soon as that screen faded to black (raf was a power bottom giving instructions the whole time). So we have a winner, but I feel like this would've been much further in the timeline?? At least Affinity 80, and way after the Ebb and Flow scene.

Rapid fire: Not Ebb and Flow I feel like it's what finally solidified their relationship with Rafayel's vulnerability and showing more of his past. Not Private Trip 5S "if you try anything I'll scream" and him asking if mc is "willing to form a bond with me" tells me they haven't done the devil's tango yet but are def dating.

Fiery Undercurrents - Yup this is it. They definitely fucked after this one, we have a winner folks.

So overall, fishie waited until Affinity 80-82

so I guess I’m writing for Dick now? i’ve been nonstop listening to “the secret of us” by Gracie Abrams and while every soft, sweet song reminds me of Jason, every brutal, heartbreaking song reminds me of Dick. i was zoning out listening to “us.” and “blowing smoke” and this just…appeared. so have my first Dick Grayson blurb!

The secret of you and Dick Grayson might kill you.

It’s the little things that destroy you in the aftermath. He bought you poetry books. Age old love stories lie abandoned on your bedside table now. He’d read them to you, melodic voice waxing poetic with someone else’s words about the lovers of Greece and Babylon and Rome. And you, in all your great wisdom, truly believed that he meant it. That somehow he’d made those words his own. Bullshit. False prophets led you blindly into love with him. And the worst part? You’d gone willingly. Whatever, it’s fine. It’s all ashes now anyways.

But one thing stands true; Dick Grayson is incomparable. You can’t kiss anyone else without the taste of him haunting you. You can’t let anyone else touch you without closing your eyes and seeing ocean blue that isn’t there. It felt like fate to you the day you met; for him it was just another Monday morning. But sometimes, just sometimes, you swear it wasn’t. Sometimes when there’s purple hyacinths left on your windowsill at 3am, you can think that he held it for that brief moment in time too. And when he shows up on your rooftop, shining brighter than all the stars in the midnight sky? Well, maybe then you know he felt it too.

gustholomule week day 5: tattoos

based on my friend @disco-girl ‘s fic for today (which was based on a conversation between my friends and i about matt getting a really stupid tattoo)

[bisexualmcqueen]

alright this one's a little different

its a thumbnail comic of a scene from a silly fic i have YET to write (but i have half of it plotted out/partially written). was a fun choreo exercise. additional context at bottom.

had to omit some plot details for simplicity's sake, but the basic premise is as follows:

"sort of crack taken seriously in that a freak weather event occurs in radiator springs. the green and white cars are just random tourists who lightning is helping evacuate. he's borrowed one of mater's towing cables… but alas he is not a tow truck. also i throw rocks at him! {he doesn't break his powertrain [axel] just a link arm + a few other suspension bits. it's to nerf him for later to let another character do a good deed in his place} {also he has the tow cable because he was closest to rescue the tourists but everyone got separated}"

the tourists also were NOT supposed to be out exploring carburetor country, there were weather warnings posted, but they lied and went anyways and lightning had to find and rescue them </3 (and then they get detoured and This happens</3)

do you think shauna learned that cells turn over completely in seven years thing in high school biology and latched onto it and had an existential crisis meltdown of nuclear proportions when it was coming up on seven years since she’d consumed jackie because none of the cells in her body were born out of the energy she got from jackie’s flesh anymore?

Honestly I’d love to see the Ben 10 fandom go more in-depth as to what the galactic audience’s thoughts regarding interspecies relationships and what dynamics formed between different species are like. Is dating To'kustars or Galvans when you’re not a To’kustar or Galvan frowned upon due to the severe height difference involved? Are there debates on whether it’s ethical to date a Vulpimancer or not? Is a Galvan dating a Galvanic Mechamorphs seen as a power imbalance? What would a romantic relationship between a Petrosapien and a Tetramand be like, or a queerplatonic one between an Ectonurite and a Lepidopterran be like, or even a platonic/familial one between a Kineceleran and a Pyronite?

Heheh, I really like thinking about the interplanetary community and it’s dynamics throughout the cosmos in the Ben 10 series, because I dunno it’s like rife with potential for worldbuilding and I guess political drama? Because apparently I like fictional political drama? I guess when it’s fictional it doesn’t affect anyone so it can be played around with in interesting ways.

Got some talking points down below hehe-

I have like SO MANY headcanons about how the interplanetary community treats vulpimancers, though to be fair I have like an unrefined list of notes about the chronology of Vulpin politics and ideologies that I haven’t neatened up yet, and one of those headcanons is the difficulties they face trying to prove themselves just as sapient as the other species; amongst all the bullshit that does bring, interspecies relationships are also affected by that bias. And the fact that you bring up the implied dynamic between creator (the galvan) and creation (galvanic mechamorphs) is interesting too because also, you can kinda also have debates about ‘is it ethical to date the first generation of a species’ especially in comparison to galvans who seem to have quite long lives, ‘is it ethical for a long living species to date a species by all means younger in their entirety than they are’ type questions-

It also isn’t just like the general interplanetary community though it’s also just the differing planetary communities (with their differing nations etc etc until we get to the individual) that also butt heads with each other- an ectonurite’s family really REALLY pushing for them to ‘get together’ with their queerplatonic lepidopterran partner before they have to host a funeral one day vs the lepidopterran having to explain to their hive that they’re happy with their ectonurite partner especially without the pressure of it being romantic there’s so many others that can and do *coughs into hand* ‘contribute’ to the hive population! Or or! The kineceleran not giving two shits about their pyronite sibling from another… pibling? Ah whatever- being so frickin’ slow because they can both bond over sports vs the pyronite wanting to share one of their thrill seeking traditions from back home with a race in their stunt car against their kineceleran cuz’ own personal wheels!

Lowkey I kinda made at least a concept for a tetramand/petrosapien couple which I based on a pseudo sumo wrestling match I saw at school once where one of the participants was slammed into the ground but they quickly switched their positions to roll the person on top so fast the crowd thought THEY were the one to win and not the person they flipped who won first- I mean! In my sphere of headcanons about petrosapiens and Petropia is that they barely got much chance to interact with the universe at large (being cracked open by the fulmini before Plumber intervention set them off plus doing something similar but… a little MORE to what they did on Revonnah) and so modern interplanetary discussions about any petrosapien relationship is ‘i thought they were extinct?’ and especially with tetramands intense courtship it may even skip straight to ‘oh they might as well be extinct’. Not exactly pleasant to hear, compounded by the rare potential someone happens to know - to put it in gross terms - a ‘suitable mate’ with the opposite sex of the petrosapien they’re pestering. At that point you’d better hope it wasn’t the tetramand/petrosapien pair because if the petrosapien doesn’t stab you over the offence, the tetramand would put you in your place, as legally able to as they’d can just to piss them off :P

Do you think if a galvan and a to’kustar were dating it’d be considered a ‘long distance relationship’ :P?

Jacqueline kicking Jack's butt at Mario Kart?

WHEEZING

Scrimbly Jacqueline 51/52: Jack's off his GAME okay? It's been a VERY long night, this, this never happens, he swears—

He is a liar. Source: Jacqueline, who has not once lost double dash to Jack. She gets a lot of practise playing newer Mario Kart editions with the twins, who CREAM HER every goddamn time. But she gets her vengeance in smash >:)

Thanks for sending this one in @someheroescarryfloss! It was a fucking DELIGHT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mario Kart: Double Dash on GameCube is the one I played the most so it's the one I pictured lmao. Daisy's my fave character to use! So I bequeathed that to Jacqueline! Same with Toadette who is usually my second if Daisy gets yoinked (which does not happen often as my mom always plays as Toadette lol)

Dw tho! Jack will get his vengeance in the Double Dash Battle Bomb stage. He'll destroy Jacqueline! >:D!

(she lets it happen since she's kicked his ass so much during the main races >:). They've done the all cup tour like 4-5 times at this point lmao)

And a fun bonus for you:

hehehehehe >:3

[Hello tag crawlers! New to SafyreSky industries? Hi! Jacqueline's my OC. Jack's younger sister, next in line for his title. You can read all about her in Crystal Springs on ao3 and fanfiction dot net if your vibe is gen fic with heavy oc usage 😘😘]

Started watching the Bayverse movies with my besties and... Are we just too gay for these movies??? Admittedly we only finished the first two and got through a quarter of the third, but the second one was such a drag to sit through at times and it probably doesn't help that we do NOT care about Sam that much. I hope that there is a character arc for him in the rest of the third movie. Because so far he has not been fun to watch in that one. He just comes off as a slight manchild to me, like... I can see why he would be frustrated with where he is in life but the way he acts with others and lashes out does not help him in the slightest. I do have to admit though that seeing him go to Cybertronian Heaven in the second movie was the funniest part for me and my besties lol.

I'll just hope that the other guy in the next movies will be at least a bit more interesting. Doesn't even have to be a good guy, just an interesting guy for me lol

AHHH DAY 14 OF TF RARE PAIRING FEST…simultaneously relieved and sad that today's the last day ;___; Here's my final fic!! It’s for the prompt “Fantasy Creatures” and it's Dead End/Perceptor. I doubt this will come as a surprise to anyone who's ever heard me talk about this pairing.

@tfrarepairing (thank you for all your hard work running this event!!! <3)

The comm comes, of course, as soon as Perceptor is settling down for a much-needed stasis nap after astrocycles of searching through all of the still-accessible Cybertronian databases and reading through the large quantity of information he was able to find on the Quintessons.

«We have a problem,» says Hot Rod.

Perceptor’s processor already hurts. If he sets his comm to ‘Do Not Disturb’ right now, he wonders if Hot Rod will assume he never picked up his comm in the first place and thus leave him alone.

«Hello? Perceptor? Perceptor, are you listening? There’s a problem! A big one!»

Ex-venting, Perceptor sits up on his makeshift berth. «Hot Rod. What is the big problem?»

«Uh, it’s kinda hard to explain. It’ll be easier if you come here and see for yourse—» A strange, high-pitched yowling sound tears through the comm, making Perceptor wince and quickly lower the volume of his auditory input. It’s immediately followed by the sound of screeching metal and frantic yells in the background. Perceptor can make out the distinct voices of Clobber and Whirl trying to scream over each other’s incomprehensible words. «—sending you our coordinates now. Hurry before we’re all—»

Another high-pitched shriek, and the commlink abruptly shuts off.

(read the rest on ao3!)
