#look at the eyeliner tho i can kill a man

[vaguely-concerned]

I've been trying to figure out a dynamic between neve and rye that I find more compelling, because right now there's not much of anything there for me to sink my little teeth into. but I think I've landed on something delicious with the idea that especially after minrathous gets fucked, rye looks at neve and sees myrna -- someone he feels he keeps letting down horribly no matter how hard he tries not to and can't quite achieve the approval of/connection with that he wishes so it's better to just pull away completely and disengage rather than stay in that unshifting shame. neve is (very understandably) measured and distant with him after what happened, and he's flashing back to his student days of myrna gazing at the perpetually hungover heartbroken heap of a person of him on the other side of her desk every time he missed the deadline of a paper or project like '...can we at least both agree that this is. a bit disappointing. especially considering your potential.' (and him all smudged black eyeshadow and numb ruefulness being like 'sure that's a very kind way to put it myrna thank you'.)

aside from the 'if I let him get too deeply into this he'll go the way of brom and it'll be all my fault (again)' element, neve thinks rye is dismissing her and her city/being a bit callous in the same way he was after varric's death (listen. how fucking wild must rook's reaction to losing a beloved mentor seem to the rest of the crew who aren't seeing the blood magic paper doll ghost varric the whole time, especially those who got to see them interact. you WOULD think 'there's something wrong with this guy. putting the job first is one thing just not seeming to react at all is another this is fucking freaky', wouldn't you, especially after seeing the warmth in that dynamic in action beforehand.) perfect storm of two people who grit their teeth and turn inwards in pain deciding that not talking about it is their best bet (NEWSFLASH: IT ISN'T) lmao

(rye spent his last year of watcher training on a mostly joyless bender and then got it together enough to finish the eternal orb project last moment in a fevered near-sleepless week instead of the half a year that was intended. emmrich is both astounded and distressed to hear this. "a week? but -- but that is an astounding accomplishment rook!! and also why in the maker's good light would you ever do that to yourself?" ("well you see there was no one to stop me from doing it like that but me. and under those conditions these things tend to happen".) rye was working through/looking up stuff around transitioning and doing every kind of OTHER high level watcher research through that whole time, but ultimately he's an excellent watcher and a terrible student, at least under traditional methods. adhd from here to the fucking moon. touched by something akin to divine inspiration in moments of high tension that pulls all the threads into one coherent unbreakable cord, a bit of a frayed mess in most other settings. in our world he'd be dropping out of a masters program at the very last hurdle in this moment maker bless and protect him)

jeff, toby, jane and EJ with a scenemo partner??

Jeff the Killer, Ticci Toby, Jane the Killer, & EJ with a scenemo Y/N

details: SFW, GN reader, just fluff

AN: omg this is my first freaking ask im so excited. i really hope this good enough 4 yall omg

Jeff the Killer

jeff's an emo fucking edge lord so of course he'd love himself a scenemo lover

i know that jeff being emo is very fanon but idc 😜

you both definitely have a lot in common when it comes to music

my chemical romance, pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens, three days grace, black veil brides, etc etc

trust me, for a man with no eye lids, he can do eyeliner

and pretty damn well too

you guys are banned from most spencer's and hot topic's because you steal so much

jeff loves to pick out an outfit for you, he's such a sweetie but wont show it too much

sometimes when he goes out killing, he'll look around someones room to see if there's anything you'd like

fixes your fringe all the time, if you have one

"ew omg fix ur hair. nvm ill just do it"

he's a real sucker when it comes to you, he actually enjoys the sappy stuff

Ticci Toby

once again, we've got another emo on our hands

he doesn't dress emo or anything like that but he does listen to the music

get scared, pierce the veil and the used

you guys share earbuds all the time

every once in a while, he'll ask you for a makeover

he wants you to straighten his hair, do eyeliner, borrow your clothes, all of the above

oh and he will be wearing that shit out too

don't play wit him on dis

"gotta show of my b-baby's workk"

he likes some of your more scene outfits, the bright colors and accessories are just so cute to him

since you share a room with Toby, most of the stuff on the walls is literally just your accessories 

and let me tell you, this man don't give a fuck

as long as you're happy, he is too

he adores you and your style

Jane the Killer

Jane sits more on the goth side than the emo or scene side so she wouldn't listen to any music you would

but that doesn't mean that she doesn't love you!!

she's very open to any new music so if you give her any rec's, they will be played in the car the next day

she adores your style so much tho

the more emo outfits are definitely her favorite but you look cute with anything!!!

she loves when you wear tiaras or small crowns

"well hello, your majesty. you look lovely today"

she will bend over and kiss your hand immediately

EJ

EJ is a simple guy so when he started dating a scenemo edge lord. the rest of creeps were definitely shocked

he also wraps himself up in books and studying so it was also a surprise when he started dating anyone at all 😭

if you guys were to ever hang out while Jack studies, it would be you sitting in his lap as you sleep

EJ sees his studies as very important work but never more important than you

you always come first

he's very fond of you and, since he's a demon, he wants to keep you close

he's not the type of guy to dress up at all so its a overdressed partner & underdressed bf relationship 

you love it so its alright

he really loves you for you so he does not give a fuck on what you wear

wear the craziest thing out and he'll praise you

actually so happy abt this ask!!!! my first 1!!! i love whoever asked this ilysm xoxo <333 have an amazing day/night, love you all sm !!!

Spiderbit Day 3 Sci-fi | First Meetings

@anonymous-dentist

This is not my best writing but oh well, had no time to reread I'm to busy today to not post now. Also it's Obsessedduo just like fyi...

Cell was wandering across the planet heaving. when was the last time he had had water? probably not in at least 2 earth days? but it was hard to tell. he was smart but he was no good at physics and he was pretty sure time passed differently out here. So 2 earth days for him. Who knows how long for the rest of the universe or even this planet time had passed. He was pretty sure the planet spun at a speed that one side always faced its star. He hadn't even seen the Sun move.

Maybe hoping onto a random supply transport ship was not his best idea. All he had was a metal knife too. no laser knifes. just a regular ass metal knife. that was fine though. he preferred a metal one anyway. he liked the blood. But it was dangerous being out, alone, with nothing but a metal knife, on a planet he didn't recognize. No food. No water. and the last time he saw anyone was the supervisor of that supply stop he got out at who he also killed and ate already… he'd manage something eventually.

Cell Needed to get up. He had tried to keep going. he still was but his body was shut down. He was so hot… that god damn star… god damn planetary rotation. He hears a hover car speeding closer and prays its not a police cruiser.

When he wakes up he's in the back of a van. there's blood on the walls. not his it seems. he is also drenched.

“oh you woke up.” someone proclaims before pushing a water bottle to his mouth, he nearly cokes and forcessses himself to sit up pushing the guy away.

“what the fuck man! you trying to drown me?” Cell manages horsely.

The guy is smiling. he has on eyeliner, and is in all black, including a hoodie on top. what a creep…. in this heat? sure this car was better then outside but it was still miserable. “sorry got excited. didn't think id find anyone out here. let alone someone alive.” he handed over the water before turning to an open med Kit.

Cell sipped. it was fine. average water. The guy was humming and cell reached into his pocket for the knife. he found nothing.

“Im Roier by the way.” the guy, Roier, hummed “would you happen to know anything about disposing of bodies?” he asked placing a sticker on him, it started to change colors… it was probably checking for dfifficiancies in vitamins. it wasn't looking good either.

“why do you need to know?” Cell asked skeptically.

“I have a dead body I need to dispose of.” he gestured to a bag in the corner by the seats. “you're in prison clothes. thought it was worth a shot. and I can make it two corpses if I need to.”

Cell looks over the guy and sees his knife on the far side of him. So he plays along.

“Oh yea okay. I know a few methods? How old.” Cellbit inquired

“I've had the body for like 2 days?”

Okay gross can't eat it then… that's fine he knew of other methods.

“Yea I got a couple. That'll still work then. And this planet is spaced out enough on this side… i actually think I know the perfect spot.”

After 6 hours according to the car’s clock they made it back to the transport station. No ine knew had come to replace the corpse’s shift lucky for them.

Cell helped carry the body to a pit he found while here originally and covered it up. For some reason Roier wanted the bag back so Cell could see the guy they were burring for a bit. He was dressed really nice, his hair was falling out of a jell style. He was fancy.

“Who was this guy anyway? Your Boss?” Cell asked unable to help his curiosity

“My Husband actually. He was bad at it.” Roier said all light leaving his expression.

Cell frowned. He itched. He hated seeing him like that. He wasn't sure why he cared though. It was dumb.

Cell was determined tho. After the guy was as covered as they were going to get he sucked in pulling both mucus and spit from his throat and mouth before spitting right on the grave.

He looked to Roier who had cracked a smile before copping. Roier looked back to Cell and they both just laughed.

After they calmed down Roier commented “you probably need some fresh clothes. You literally look like you just left Jail.”

To Cell’s credit. It had been years. He just couldn't change his clothes. “What are you getting at?”

“Let me take you to the dark side of the planet. I'll get you set up then do what you want” Roier shrugged looking over him carefully.

Cell returned the consideration. He supposed this couldn't go to bad. They didn't seem to have an interest in killing him. He may as well. “Alright. Sounds good to me.”

What type of style do the boys have? Like in any fic (I.e: Kill of the night, Ballad of Finney blake, heck even bruised knuckles!)

What’s their aesthetic? The jewelry they wear(if they wear it)? Do they have the same style in every fic or is a different? (Like would Bruce wear a more elegant aesthetic in Ballad of Finney Blake because he’s a model and a more casual aesthetic in Kill of the night because he’s a agent who likes his clothing loose for when he fights?)

different aesthetics for fics like can’t remember to forget you (they’re kids in the 70s they don’t have a lot of access to the GOOD stuff), meet me in the woods tonight (fantasy set in the 1500s) yknow the ones that aren’t modern era

in certain fics like Ballad/Kill of the Night like all modern era their aesthetics don’t change.

• finney — street wear: never gonna catch him without his sneakers u r OUT of ur mind😭 loves a cropped leather jacket and baggy, long cargo pants. wears an abundance of necklaces. i would love to say light academia but ik in my heart or hearts he is a street wear boy 4eva.

• bruce — soft boy aesthetic bc he REALLY loves the pastels and straight leg jean/pants moment. he, of course, wears flamboyant and glittery party clothes or high fashion but in his casual downtime? catch him in a soft brown sweater some straight legged baggy pants and a knitted brown and green flower bag. OR that weird space-core aesthetic. has a shit ton of blue and galaxy shirts, silver jewelry, metallic makeup, glitter—loves that whole look. was a space kid and hasn’t grown out of it (finney loves him BAD)

• robin — skater boy; loves a good baggy cargo shorts moment!! graphic tees AND converse?? u have never seen him move so fast in a zoomiez it’s like he’s a whole nother man fr😭

• vance — grunge!! get this man a long sleeved cardigan, a leather jacket and some ripped denim!! wear those combat boots that are held together by duck tape and a dream!

• billy — this mf BOUNCES AROUND LIKE A MAD MAN when it comes to aesthetics. he wears whatever he is in the mood for, but most often it’s GLAM ROCK (SOMEONE TOLD ME IN THE COMMENTS WHAT THE NAME WAS! THANK YOU AMITY UR A REAL ONE). and it’s very flamboyant and gay. i love him. also he’s in every shade of pink known to man-kind. like lestat.

• griffin — whatever u can call that dark/grunge coquette style. the one that gives vampire rock star. loves a black and red outfit from infinity to infinity. dark shades ONLY but he has been known to enjoy an occasional bright colored swirl of colors. has a bunch of black and silver jewelry but has joked at length he can’t wear it for too long or he’ll start to burn. watched scooby doo and the witch’s ghost, fell in LOVE with thorn, has not let her style, or the others’, go.

for the part in KOTN they keep their agent aesthetic and normal aesthetic separate.

the only real exception to this is don’t come back for me. bruce, griffin, finney dress more feminine than i usually have them dress in my fics like outside of those cheerleading uniforms.

• bruce — y2k (both feminine and masc). loves a good sheer top and low waist jean moment. does NOT subscribe to the bad makeup practices back then tho. he refuses to, actually. u will never ever ever catch him without some lip gloss on and gold jewelry.

• finney — light academia—witch-like, even. partly because it’s really funny and also he likes soft sweaters. plus he gets to jump between the pants and the skirt options at his leisure, made funnier by the fact he has magic. has got that quick-change down to a science. has been spotted around campus wearing three different outfits since the day first began.

• griffin — grunge. get this man some smudged eyeliner, deep lipstick, some dark reds, and forest greens stat!!! vintage band tees? always locked and loaded. a good skirt moment? ugh. will never catch him without his favorite black corduroy jacket or those super long plaid shirt that totally didn’t belong to billy wdym? that he wears tied around his waist or he ACTUALLY wears or a long strip he ripped off at the bottom as a bracelet.

• billy — dark academia. get this man some dark colors and some glasses stat!!! (billy in glasses at the library like he’s fucking spencer reid? griffin almost lost his shit) and he actually owns a fucking watch/stop watch on a golden chain.

• vance — punk boy style. he has all the punk values (amen!) but sometimes he does wear a more casual look.

• robin — he doesn’t get out much aside from cat form but when he does? 90s style. and i’m talking 90s california: sleeveless graphic t-shirts, converse, ripped jeans, the works.

————

A blood curdling scream sounds from the tv. You flinch, drawing your knees closer into your chest and the blanket farther around your shoulders. The scream rings in your ears, a chill lurks on the back of your neck. 

Ashe scoffs, taking a sip of her wine. “You scared?”

“Pft—me? Scared?” You try to match her teasing tone, but your voice is shaky. 

In your defence, the movie is scary. A teenager being stalked by a masked killer, a call from the killer coming from inside the house? It sets your nerves on fire. 

Of course, not as much as the woman sitting across from you on the couch. Her red eyes ghosting over you are enough to make your heart race and palms sweat. 

“It’s written all over your face, sugar.”

Your face heats up at her words. “This is just my…movie watching face.”

“Right,” red irises roll behind black eyeliner. “Well, don’t worry, doll. Nobody’s gonna hurt you with me around.”

Your mouth feels dry, and your words fail you. You nod to her, hoping she can’t hear the pounding of your heart in your chest. You force yourself to focus back on the movie and the woman getting crushed by a garage door. 

While your eyes focus on the screen, Ashe focuses on you. The way your nose scrunches up at the blood and gore is so cute that she can’t seem to look away. You look so small and fragile curled up in a ball on her couch. 

Nothing like the people she’s used to—the rugged men that man her crew, the conniving women that run with her gang. No, you’re something else entirely. Something softer. Something that she needs more than anything right now. 

Your shoulders relax when the killing's done, focusing on a dorky kid who likes movies instead. You feel like you can breathe again and take your eyes off of the screen for the first time in a while. 

You look up just to see Ashe staring at you. “What?” You ask. 

“Just admiring the view,” she smirks. 

“Yeah? Do you like it when I’m scared?”

The white-haired woman sips her wine, muttering under her breath, “only cause you look so damn cute.”

You raise an eyebrow. “What was that?”

“Only cause you look so damn cute.”

Her words take you aback. She’s always been blunt, speaking her mind. But you never thought—never considered—she’d be interested in you. You can feel heat spreading up your neck. 

She laughs. “Cat got your tongue?” 

You bite your lip and nod, worried anything you say now will just come out as a high pitched squeak or an incomprehensible jumble of words. 

She leans forwards suddenly, fingers ghosting across your cheek. She leans in, lips hovering just above yours. “It’d be a shame to let such a pretty mouth go to waste.”

She closes the gap between you. Her lips are warm and soft, red lipstick smearing onto your lips, marking you as hers. She runs her hand up your cheek, up your temple, and into your hair. Her touch is so gentle, unlike anything you’ve ever felt before. 

You’re too flustered to speak when she pulls away. Her taste lingers on your tongue and all you want is more. She’s smiling at you, taking in the awestruck look on your face.

Before either of you can say anything, another scream from the TV fills the room. You flinch at the sudden noise, your shoulders crinkling together. 

“Come here,” she says, opening up her arms to you. “Sit with me, I’ll protect you.”

You scooch across the couch until you’re pressed against her, one arm on either side of you and your head on her chest. She’s so warm and her arms are so strong that you can’t help but feel safe with her. 

The movie isn’t so scary after that.

[6mayhem]

top ten men??

okay.....this is a long personal post BE PREPARED!!! to find me cringe after this

in no particular order and most are also gonna be fictional LOLOLOLOLOL starting with the real people tho

gerard way...what can i say..... just 10/10 who I'm trying to be. All my problems would be solved if I could 100% embody him body mind and soul circa mid 2000s because spiritually that's who i was born to be. also the music is good very good. does he even count as a man anymore everyone's a transgender nowadays. anyway i don't actually know anything abt him apart from the stage persona and that's the way I'm trying to keep it bc everything i learn about celebrities I learn against my will

manuel germanletsplay. god i was so obsessed with him as a teenager. for the americans: he was of the biggest german gaming/minecraft youtubers and national heartthrob among teen girls. everyone shipped him with his friends including me THE FANFICSSSS..... he inspired a lot of transgenderism in me due to his twinky nature and his piano talent and long hair and the fact he never (to this day) showed his face. his persona was like a real life creepypasta character when it comes to sex appeal

isak valtersen skam..... skam is like my longest running hyperfixations i first watched it circa 2017 and have been rewatching at LEAST twice a year since then. idc that it's a teen show.......... he contributed greatly to my transgenderism. I love manipulative teen guys who are just the absolute fucking worst when you look at it objectively. he was such a male manipulator the whole s1 arc rlly made him out to be such a mastermind supervillain it was so silly. and then he got rlly pathetic in s3 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ anyway awesome outfits also..And anger issues

mickey milkovich shameless.... don't feel like I need to explain. WHAT AN ARC !!! he's a terrible person but like somehow the most sympathetic character in the entire show. everything past s7 was such flanderization it made me mad as hell but before that waowwaow.....he deserved better. my meowmeow. would move mountains and literally kill people for the most average annoying guy ever (real mickey fans hate ian) (jk hes fine minus the last 2 seasons)

syd march antiviral. what a fucking freak. he's got everything. blood kink. appearance of a sickly victorian child. horrible daddy issues. bisexuality. a thinly veiled transgender subplot. he's just so slimy and greasy and you just wanna punch him the entire movie I love it. big fan. also a male manipulator..U never know how much of his weakness is real and how much is faked to gain people's trust. he's just like me when it comes to obsessing over random beautiful women!!

sven kretschmer from ich hasse liebeslieder. no one knows this book because it was posted in like 2015 on a german fanfiction website but it permanently changed my brain chemistry. wow. i love him so much. he's everything to me. eyeliner wearing bisexual emo with greasy black hair who canonically looks like gerard way and struggles with every mental issue under the sun. erectile dysfunction subplot. has an abusive father. my favorite band is only kj because that's HIS favorite band. you could trace back 90% of who I am as a person to sven. HE BECAME A TATTOO ARTIST ALSO THAT'S SO COOL!!! and he's the most loyal bastard ever just a kicked puppy kinda guy i love men who are really clingy in relationships. but at the same time he also has insane anger issues which I ALSO love in a man GRIN 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 ^^^^ see above faves this is a whole archetype of guy for me

jack as you are.... See profile pic!! you already knowwwww!!!!! he's just like me fr. sheltered/seen as weak and sensitive and longing to be rebellious and do things to impress other men (in a homosexual way). maybe transgender? maybe killed his best friend/brother/lover!! again...greasy long hair YAYYY!!! the whole movie could be a forcemasc fantasy

mirco from this sorta obscure book called landeplatz der engel....his mother rejected him. the woman who took him in is a prostitute.... he says ableist slurs but is the least ableist person in the whole book...he wears a ring with a jewel in the shape of a boar head how cool is that?? and he stole a car. and does illegal car races. and ditched his girlfriend for his new male best friend. and he's secretly really traumatized but never wants to be a victim and gets mad when you imply his past affected him 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 idk I just love how he never pretends to be a better person than he is, but the opposite of it. He never gives himself credit for how kind he is

will graham... What a fucking freak(2). proves that your life isn't over at 30 you can still find the love of your life and do really weird shit because you decided that the only thing you care about is what a freaky european cannibal thinks of you.

adam saw....what can i say. he's awesome. he's transgender. he's funny. he's tragic. he's in love with a man twice his age while his brain can't decide if it should see him as a father figure or romantic interest. relatable to me personally

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

my oc neph bell because he's awesome and basically me

steve harrington and eddie munson from stranger things bc i still ship it (there's zero canon moments but idgaf about canon its stupid anyway) bc 1. Tragic blond failson with daddy issues and 2. eddie gave me aesthetic aspirations fuel for like a full year before i figured out who i wanna be. so yeah. I'm only a little bit ashamed of this

tyler durden fight club because yeah. and by extension the narrator bc the moments where he acted like a proper weird fucker were so funny and also meeeeeeee x3

nezumi no.6 you edgy fucker

mo folchart inkheart bc i always wanted him to be my father

kurt cobain

my other oc cesar liehmann bc he embodies everything i like re: blond men with anger issues who have to compensate for their average height by acting more confident than they are

free space for whoever i might be forgetting rn. I always have a LOT of thoughts about fictional men....

SHIN TSUKIMI FROM YTTD LOL I REMEMBER BEING CRAZY ABT HIM

max zerophilia... just completely embraces his sexuality and status as a Z. shamelessly in love with both luke and luca. HOT!!!! kind of bad at flirting but it works for him. AND HE'S ALSO HOT AS MICHELLE AND I'M BISEXUAL SO THAT'S THAT

[soracities]

Hey not to drag this out any longer—but its interesting to see the makeup conversation from both sides. Saying this as someone who enjoys and appreciates makeup, and understands its many pitfalls and problems. People have probably said this, but I think you can understand both sides without bashing the other. Both are valid and both are worth talking about. You can love makeup but also understand why other women don't want to wear it and have their issues with it and vice versa. That its not an attack on you personally. I deeply understand people having a problem with separating that tho–we are only human. But I think we should strive for it regardless. Idk if this is really connected but I think some of the strong reaction from the women who enjoy makeup comes from the era (eras???) of ladies who were made to feel ashamed or belittled for being a 'girl' or a 'woman' growing up by guys (ESPECIALLY grown men). I swear, look back on it, there was a time where being feminine was very much being ridiculed in media and being the 'not-like-other-girls' girl was upheld. So this resulted in these girls growing up to realize how awful that time was and are now 'reclaiming' being feminine and not ashamed. I'm not saying this explains ALL of the makeup women's reactions but I feel some in my gen were definitely connected to that 'era' (think bratz vs barbie). But as a result, any pushback towards that is seen as a flashback to that ridicule and they don't want that shaming to return, instead of seeing it as an important convo to have. I feel like they aren't seeing the negatives (ones you have said)—like expecting 'tomboys' and non-feminine people to suddenly 'wake up' and not be ashamed of being a woman anymore or that those people presenting that way is somehow an attack on feminine women or them saying that feminine women should feel bad about themselves. Even if that 'era' (again idk if eras, women have always been clowned on) happened to a gen of women, society has ALWAYS favored the feminine women. Yes feminine ladies are made fun of, but non-feminine women have it hard from ALL sides. We need to have these conversations and stand united. All of us are valid and none of us should expect the other to perform (especially in favor of society and beauty standards).

Amjsnsjsjsjdj SORRY FOR THE LONG RANT. Just wanted to add some thoughts ;-; (sorry if this was nonsensical)

No, I actually think you have a point because I do agree with you regarding that "generation" (it does feel weird to call it that because it wasn't even that long ago): I think a lot of 2014-16 online feminism (what became mainstream, at least) was built precisely on that--the "eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man" era--and it was the first introduction to feminism that I had. As someone who was a "not like other girls" girl I probably would have stayed that way if all that discourse hadn't given me the vocabulary and framework I needed to understand why I felt such an obligation to separate myself from the things "other girls" liked (Ugg boots, Twilight etc).

And to be fair, the premise behind that reclamation, given the context it arose in, makes sense--it was a deliberate pushback against this incredibly narrow, hypocritical, and reductive view of what a woman "could" be: beautiful or intelligent, but absolutely not both. Attempting to dismantle that dichotomy was desperately needed, and I think it was important for a lot of girls to realise they weren't doomed to choose one or the other, but I think it's interesting because dismantling it by saying "actually, you can be both" leaves those two categories intact without really questioning what we mean by them. "You can be intelligent and beautiful", implies, in a subtle and roundabout way maybe, that beauty should still be an aspiration.

And I think it's this last thing that's probably come back to haunt us and is one of the (many) reasons we've ended up where we are. I think it's inevitable that this conversation regarding makeup and "feminity" evolved in the way it did because it happened within a societal framework that is deeply individualistic and only became even more so as social media expanded--by affirming women's agency in telling them, "you can choose who you are and what you want to be" (a necessary and important message) in a society where freedom is defined by individual choices, but not collective rights (and therefore responsibilities) means that you can, so easily, make that agency fit into already established and oppressive structures, without actually risking those structures and therefore maintaining their perceived legitimacy. And after a certain point we end up conflating the two in such a way that you are unable to criticize the structures without being seen to criticize women--because, like you said, it's something that's really difficult for some to separate.

I'm not denigrating this pushback or saying it was wrong to try and make girls feel less ashamed, but I think we have so easily missed the actual root of that movement, if you really get down to it, which was, more than anything, about denying the idea that women can, or should, be pigeonholed into arbitrary roles and live their lives confined by other people's warped ideas of who they can and cannot be. But I think the fact that we never fully questioned beauty as an aspiration in the "beauty and brains" equation legitimized it as a goal in a way and allowed a certain expression feminism to become as mainstream as it did because, ultimately, if it did not threaten beauty as a construct, then it could be tamed or made more palatable (and which is partly why, I think, that we have all this "divine feminine", "feminine energy" nonsense coming back)--certain rights have improved, true, and there has been more conversation regarding gender and women's marginalisation as a whole, which is so important--but by maintaining beauty as a standard we are also maintaining other forms of pigeonholing (and therefore marginalising) women because beauty is reductive too: if a perceived notion of "Beauty" is legitimised and valued, then we legitimise a structure where people who don't qualify as "beautiful" are actively devalued (and this plays into the added discrimination and dehumanization disabled women, women of colour, older women, and trans women are subjected to).

So, yes, what you said absolutely makes sense to me because I really do think that did play a part and it's something I can completely understand. I just wish (like so much else) that our manner of talking about these things was more open-ended and not so individualistic and insular, that we could approach them with the expectation of learning something new instead of coming from a defensive position--which truly shows, I think, that there still is a lot of shame attached to these things and that has never been fully explored or discussed properly: and that's proof of just how much we actually need to keep trying to have these conversation (even if every other tiktok trend is trying to set us back another 50 years).

Hi~ i was wondering if you could write some hc about Xavier Thorpe with a plus size reader, bonus point if it goths as hell, just a very eccentric person.

Thanks for reading this <3

(Disclaimer, I just recently saw what’s going on about the actor Percy. I do not support him, nor his choices. This is about the character and the character only)

Ofc! I’ll do my best

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Xavier Thorpe with a plus size goth partner hcs!

He hates it when people tell him he “could do so much better”. Why would he want to do better when he has you?

He loves your creative passion, especially when putting outfits together. All the layering with the beautifully woven lace, he can die a happy man knowing he’s with you.

He insists on carrying you when you’ve hurt yourself. There’s no “but I’m too heavy” he’ll just tell you that he’s strong. You’ve just injured yourself and deserve to be taken care of

He’s a big fan of your music taste, he’s so thankful you have good playlists

Adores seeing you dance, you’re so free and happy when you let loose

Movie nights in his dorm :)

He really likes it when you do the thick eyeliner looks, he loves seeing you in makeup

Don’t get me wrong tho, he thinks you’re gorgeous with or without. He appreciates how much effort you put into your look, and understands you don’t do it for him.

He loves it when you hug him, your warmth and your presence make him feel so good.

After the Poe cup he realized he didn’t have anything to take off his makeup and ran to you for help.

“Hey Hun? I kinda need your help.” He said from the other side of the door. You laughed, wondering what it could be this time.

“Come in!” You shouted

He came in with his hand on his neck in embarrassment. You could tell he’d tried scrubbing it off but it hardly moved. You started cackling loudly.

“Oh my god!” You cried

“I know, I know! Will you help me or not?” He said with his hands covering his face.

“Of course, what kind of partner would I be if I didn’t help my boyfriend in his time of need” you taunted

“Oh hell, kill me now.” He grumbled as he walked over to you, silently pleading for no more teasing.

When he notices that you’re having a bad day he’ll just sit with you, maybe hold your hand.

He’s willing to talk with you about it, or distract you. Whatever you decide he’ll be ok with.

He loves swapping hair ties with you, even if they’re both the same black ones. What matters is it’s yours :)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Let me know if you have any feedback! I tried my best but I am not plus sized, so I may have gotten something wrong. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

I hope you enjoyed! I never realized how fun it is to write goth hcs, I’m still learning as a babybat T-T

TOKYO REVENGERS SEASON 3 EP 2

Spoilers for anime only

They're really just throwing Sanzu everywhere they can

As a manga reader this makes me laugh so hard (I know, I know, anime only aren't going to catch that but it still screams 'LOOK! Look at him! He's here!'). It's still very much Mucho the focus of each frame, but Sanzu is always always in the corner

I. You know what, sure

Continuity error but sure

Naoto's plan of action at any minor inconvenience (technically they arent minor but shhhh): Kill.

Then again, this is the Naoto who shot Mikey dead. He wouldn't care. Specially not if it's Kisaki

I love Takemichi's shirts sm. They mean everything to me

Noticed Chifuyu and Hakkai !(plus, obvious Izana, Mikey etc)

*look at his dyed blue hair* I sure wonder who that churchgoer is

HELL YEAH HE WAS

– kinda sad they made the whole uniform black and not with some gold like Toman's is

Hell yeah he had..

Well, you see, next week Emma will tell you—

.

Almost looks like they gave Koko eyeliner. But they didn't. Had my hopes up for nothing. Also, him saying "still a man stuck in the past" to refer to Taiju as if he himself wasn't–

.

I like the addition they made of having Kakucho flinch when Takemichi calls him – it does show his unwillingness to kill people. And also. The fact he prioritizes Izana and Izana's orders to his own morals. In the manga, it was more as if Kakucho, after years of doing exactly that, became rlly good at not showing he cared about it (even tho Kakucho is not someone to abandon his morals – even if he neglects them for Izana

.

This made me laugh out loud. Like yeah. Make the anime only think Kisaki is a time leaper even more. Even more than manga readers back then. Go on

+ they really went off with the budget. Taiju's aquariums (and I'm sooooo glad they animated them well. I started the episode wanting and expecting to see sharks!), Taiju's smoking and Taiju's fighting, MANILA IZANA AND KAKUCHO. And, ofc, Naoto's death scene

Can't wait for next week

Round 3 - Eliminations

It's a sad day for the dragon-fuckers as we say goodbye to Zenos yae Galvus, Cloud of Darkness, Elgo, Lilith, Cid Raines, Midgardsormr, Ravus Nox Fleuret, and Nidhogg! You had a good run, but, unfortunately, the train stops here.

Congratulations to Emet-Selch, Jihl Nabaat, Luzaf, Kuja, Ysayle Dangoulain, Kain Highwind, Elidibus, and Tseng of the Turks! We look forward to seeing you in Round 4!

If you'd like to know why these baddies were nominated, please, click below!

Zenos yae Galvus: >He considers you his only friend and wants to fight you soooo bad he's almost horny for it. Could probably slop him up real good >He's an obsessive broken shell of a man. Also I want to eat whatever's happening with his gender. >i personally hate the character, but i'm sure his fanbase would love to explain this to you ad nauseam >Better hair care regimen than Sephiroth. >Asks you to fuck(fight maybe? Idk anymore) him every time you meet him. >he thinks YOURE the most fuckable. crazy bitch. just when you think youve hit rock bottom you want to fuck a blond guy >Luke Allen Gale's voice acting >His speeches are just… peak thirst??? And I am here for it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/z-e-n-o-s.tumblr.com/post/165321246781/addicted-to-darkness-so-i-found-this-in-the/amp >Not only is he a giant tall prettyboy with long hair (mandatory for any decent FF villain) he can turn into a big old Shinryu in the right circumstances so he's not only ideal for men enjoyers but monsterfuckers too. Also the mascara game hellooooo no contest from any other man in this series. He's also just a little crazy which kind of adds to the fuckability. >Yandere, also, just look at him >👅👌👌 >BIG tall, obsessed with player character, eyeliner on point

Cloud of Darkness: >Mean. Indifferent to me. As soon kill me as look at me. Tentacles. >Mommy with pet tentacles, I wanna explore that void and be consumed

Cid Raines: >hggghhh I have a weakness for pretty boys

Midgardsormr: >Big dragon who is an amazing dad pretty sure he’s considered a villain at some point

Ravus Nox Fleuret: >Actually, nobody nominated Ravus. I added him because I was at 127 and needed one more. So he got pretty far all things considered!

Nidhogg: >He’s a giant fuck you dragon with a reasonable motive but lost sight of it. >…well, the dragons are sweeping the FF14 fuckable men AND women polls, so… >I've got no explanation for this one I'm just a bit of a monsterfucker. His voice is really sexy tho.

[dullahandyke]

Ok hi dgs trial 3 part 2

Megundal is constantly doing the 🤨 emoji its killing me....

AND HE SAID QUARE 😭😭 SOBBBB oh I feel like every time this man opens his mouth I'm going to take psychic damage because all I can hear is my father

Also I cant be having conversations in this antechamber all I can think of is the 'losing lawyer has to suck off their opponent' fic

EEJIT 😭 he sounds like he came from a roddy doyle book I read as a child

Ok actually itd b more expedient to just name every piece of Irish slang megundal says that makes me die so thatll be at the end of the post

I chose the 'ja you're guilty' option n ryuu autist... call a spade a spade he does indeed

Man 'the reaper of the old bailey' is such a cool concept but it sucks that the only thing I know abt bvz is 'racist' and 'sucks off ryuu after losing court cases'. Yeah that's right I've had mid-post character development. I've decided that the thing about losing lawyers blowing each other after trials is canon

Also I hate megundal's hat it annoys me. Couldnt he just have been short

The thing abt going into the trial knowing fuck all is fun tho. Very the lost turnabout

Also I do like the idea of 'I don't even know if the client is guilty or not, dont even know anything about the case, but everyone deserves a defense' too bad iirc that doesnt reach its logical conclusion of 'even people you know to be guilty are worth defending' given the whole combatative relationship between defense and prosecution these games have going on. And like obvi I get why its always the prosecution ceding the defense's arguments but it does get to feel a bit lopsided despite all the nattering abt working together to find the truth

OMG ITS JUROR 3 FROM TUMBLR POSTS WHO HATES THE POLICE AND RICH PEOPLE!!!! Its like meeting a celebrity....

Not bvz with the vampire cloak opening sprite 😭😭😭😭

Also. Bvz 🤝 saïx. Bigoted antagonists who turn good at the end of the story who have the same scar

'Is it not the British way to be chivalrous and kind and give opportunities to foreigners at expense to yourself' megundal you're Irish you cannot be serious. Istg this fucking accent will be the death of me I cannot imagine him as saying anything to that effect and entirely believing it even tho logically I know there were Irish 'I got mine' gobshites... (autism symptom bullet point that reads 'difficulty comprehending different perspectives' appears over my head)

Oh that's right the jury thing... this is awesome

Also regrettably I have to say that bvz is hot. If he was a woman and not racist? Awooga. However he has to get there first before I get him any leeway

Also I've just realised that 'zieks' is probs pronounced more like 'zeeks' than 'zikes'. Huh that's gonna be difficult to adjust to

Also I like juror 4.... typing :)

Also I wanna do voices reading out all the dialogue but that means I have to find like 8 distinct British voices. Bvz is a brummy now

. Why is it the Phoenix wright omnibus

Oh the stained glass eye things before the cross examination are really cool

See my main quibble rn is that the skylight is only clearly visible from one angle when sitting on top of the omnibus, so unless both were sitting together on the same bench for some reason despite seeming perfect strangers, both couldnt have seen it

'I dont like blades' 'then why do you have that katana' 'that's not a blade that's asougis soul' wahhh...

Bvz's wine makes an appearance... love his little scythe wine bottle

BOOO DONT COMMENT ON THE DISPOSITION OF WOMEN FROM THE EAST AGAIN OR I KILL U DEAD !!!

Also I continue to enjoy ryuu's eyeliner

love ryuu pushing up his armband after leaving his sweaty sprite... nice little detail

Omg ryuu pacing once he puts this together ... yesss walk little gayboy

Why did they give juror 3 a sprite where hes licking the knife. Dont like that

Oh boo bvz took off his cloak... he looks less cool now

Omg perjury is a thing in this game you love to see it

Also can we get beppo a blanket or something

Halp me 'could he have just happened to see the exact moment the crime was committed? Some days are just like that'... ryuu pls tell us abt yr day to day

Fairplay keeps eating his cane... boy get some chewlery

I do like that juror 3 getting his knife stuck in the bench is worked into the dialogue. Even the people reading the transcript know that you're shit at knife wielding

Omg ryuu drew the little diagram of the view from the omnibus? That's so cute... artist man

Love it when they object back and forth... fuck yes the girls are fighting

Also it mihjt jusr have been a while since I've aced my attorneys but I feel like the witnesses jn this game are a lot more deliberately deceitful and guilty of other crimes and it's awesome. Yes boy withhold information for malicious reasons

Omg Gina? Is it Gina time?

GINAAAAAAAA YES I SEE HER!!!!!! HIIIII HI GINA!!!!!!!

DONT JUST OUT GINA AS A PICKPOCKET U LITTLE FUCK! could've just said she was a beggar or something

Omg Gina dialogue and theme yayyyyy love her... I enjoy her slight :3 mouth

MEGUNDAL LIST

Also this cockney transliteration is awful

Small detail but I love how Gina is introduce as 15 but the court record says shes 17. Yes girl lie about your age for fun and profit

BVZ LEGSLAM!!

Also 'iron-heeled Wellington' please dear God tell me this man is not wearing metal wellies

Omg the evidence suddenly changing midtrial....yessss that's so awesome

Accidentally pressed twice on one of Gina's statements and only the second time does megundal have anything to say on it.... huh

OPEN AND FAIR COMPETITION IS WHAT A CAPITALIST SOCIETY IS ALL ABOUTTHHWNWJWJAKWQJNQAKKA

Arrived at the first thing that's proper stumped me :( accusing fairplay and furst... girl what do u present I dont wanna have to turn on story mode

Ok I had to look up a walkthru before I realised u had to examine the skylight from the interior... eye see

RYUU TURNING THE LEARNED FRIEND NAME ON BVZ YES GET HIM

Oh this music as we close the trial and ryuu fruitlessly objects is banging

Also as much as hes a lying rich cunt I do like megundal I think his influence over the trial is rlly interesting

WEVE UPGRADED TO FIREWORKS UPON A NOT GUILTYY???? THAT CANT BE OSHA APPROVED (osha does not exist yet)

'Gina really does take forever to load that gun' I AAS THINKING THR SAMS THING.... ryuu you're a man of the people

IRIIIIIIIIIIIS IRIS IRIS IRIS IRIS IRIS IRIS IRIS SHES HEEEEERE IRIS IRIS IRIS! AW HER THEME IS SO CUTE

HELP ME SUSATO HAS A PLEADING EMOJI SPRITE???? NDNSKWKQOQ I HAD NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE

GREGSON SPOTTED

Also the burning carriage... eyes emojiiiii that was cool... magundal you daft cunt

That was a fun case and rlly interesting.... it's taking a while to get the pieces together for the status quo but they're keeping things interesting while they set it up so I dont mind as much

I'll try for the fourth case tomorrow but according to the longplay I've been basing my guesstimates off of, it's long as shit and I have a 2 hour driving lesson in the middle of the day... might try wake super early or something and get done the first section and then marathon it noon til night. The last trial is for sure gonna take me two days, rlly hope mam's fine with taking me back to the city on Sunday instead of Saturday

*shows up 15 mins late with starbucks an' all that*

minus the starbuck, i dont have starbucks😩

You can tell she’s intelligent, everyone can tell, and that’s worse than all the rest of it; as she and Aemond stroll together through the gardens, she asks him questions about history and hunting, and then has clever retorts to his answers. Their conversation has the seamless, pacific quality of language between people who have known each other for years. It’s just like the Duke of Hightower said it would be. She is precisely the sort of woman Aemond would have chosen for himself.

me and ivy, looking at ohhh sooo smart and perfect kuni walking with IVYS MAN

The Greens have no such tender heartache brewing within them. They mourned King Viserys long ago, not his death but his dreadful, interminable absence.

good riddance v

In the past 48 hours, there have been twelve fistfights, seven sword duels, and no less than five deaths, six if you include the poisoning servant who (allegedly) threw himself from a window of the Tower of London before he could be racked.

And for once, the Greens’ supporters know exactly what to say to you. They fawn over your health and mourn your losses, all four of them, as if they happened only yesterday. They never tire of expressing their horror. They vow that the treacherous, murderous Blacks must not be given any further opportunity to endanger you or the child you now carry. You are not just—at long last—a true Green. You are a beacon that draws ever more allies to their side. You are a talisman. You are an example of how mercilessly low Daemon will sink to devour his adversaries: a serpent, a wolf, a butcher who no man of honor could count among his friends.

i see daemon still found the time to take care of loose ends...

his crimes are obvious to everyone tho, and v is not gonna be there to silence everyone anymore 👀

You can’t follow her phrases; your hearing goes in and out like a tide.

ds plan sure backfired huh

there may not be an heir yet, but his horrible actions pretty much martyred ivy and gave ample excuse for people to side with the greens

writing? 👨‍🍳💋👌🏻

“Do you grow any edelweiss?” Kunigunde asks in a voice like windchimes.

“Edelweiss…?”

“It is found in the Alps,” Aemond explains. “Small white blossom that thrive in rocky limestone soil. It cannot survive in England, regrettably.”

“A shame,” Kunigunde says with what you would guess is well-disguised homesickness. “It’s my favorite flower. That’s what’s used in my perfume, you know.”

ok but the whole symbolism thing you had going on in this entire scene with the flowers/characters was INSANEEE 👨‍🍳💋👌🏻

Kuni=edelweiss ->  It cannot survive in England (nothing regrettable about it tho)

and dont even get me started on ivy

“Ah! But I see you have an infestation.” Kunigunde points at the grasping emerald vines that are spilling from the grey stone walls of the palace down into the gardens.

The Duke follows her eyeline. “Oh, ivy, yes. Well, there’s no stopping that. A stubborn weed. It would cover the whole world if it could.”

You and Aemond glance at each other, like a reflex, then immediately look away. His cheeks flush a deep hectic pink.

“But it kills,” Kunigunde says. “It smothers everything else. It must be tamed.”

“We’ll have it ripped down,” the Duke assures her, then leads you all into the royal stables to escape the rain.

LIKE HELLO?!

kuni pointing out the ivy infestation, saying it kills, it smothers everything else, that it MUST BE TAMED and otto with his whole chest saying they will have it her ripped down as if he hasnt already been doing a pretty great job of bringing ivy down and stifling her 

ivy on her way to smother edelweiss 👀

but also, ivy -> there’s no stopping that. A stubborn weed. It would cover the whole world if it could.

ok but im choosing to interpret this as; no matter what the blacks, the greens, this looming war and just life in general throws at Ivy shes gonna persevere and come out victorious in the end

been thinking about how the story could end, and if/how we could even have a happy-ish ending

so yeah these are some of the thoughts floating around in my head rn, will be v interested to see how things will actually turn out 👀

i think ivygon is gonna have aegons heir

babygirl aegon is probably gonna die #ripking 😭🤧

ivygons kid is gonna inherit, but kid being too young someones gonna have to rule in their name and here it could be like A) ivy ruling as queen regent or B) aemond being that lord protector or whatever its called alá richard after edwards death or C) both A+B in a way, ivymond ruling together, governing the country for ivys kid till they grow up

kuni dead or shipped back to the holy roman emeror as a maiden lmao, but more on that later

ofc theres a chance you will kill off aemond too, and then ivy will truly rule alone, but lets hope that wont be the case lmao

also lmao at ivymond glancing at each other like:

“Welcome to England, princess. And, uh, I presume you have a nickname of some sort…?”

Kunigunde blinks bewilderedly at him. “Why would I require a nickname?”

“Jesus Christ,” Aegon mutters, and wanders away to pet Sunfyre.

AEGOOOON LMAO 😂💀

Kunigunde stops at your horse’s stall. She marvels at her—gleaming black coat, vast muscles, defiant eyes—and gasps in delight. “Meine Güte! What is this one?”

“She’s an Andalucian,” you tell her. “From Navarre.”

“Your homeland,” Kunigunde notes gently, like someone who knows the pain of being exiled from the same earth that grew you.

ok but the irony of kuni singling out ivys horse is not lost on me

first she takes her man and now you want her horse too I THINK THE FUCK NOT

writing? 👨‍🍳💋👌🏻

“Midnight,” you reply, then steal a glimpse of Aemond to test his reaction. He pretends not to be listening, but again his cheeks color with a fleeting wash of scarlet. His betrothed—in a few short hours, his wife—observes this thoughtfully. It’s nothing as low as suspicion; it’s an intelligent, acute sort of awareness. One can look at her face and see gears and levers shifting, hear the ticking of a clock.

ivymond are so UNSUBTLE 😭💀 and kuni aint stupid,,, nor blind 👀

“Is it awful?” she asks in a conspiratorial whisper.

You genuinely have no idea what she’s talking about. “What?”

“His eye,” she says. “Prince Aemond’s lost eye. A grisly thing, surely. The scar is bad enough, but the eye? I can’t imagine having to stare at it while…while…well, you know. While he’s lying with me. Fortunately, I have been assured that I won’t ever have to see it. But I’m sure you have. I’ve heard that you’re very good friends.”

k i swear i was gonna try and give kuni the benefit of the doubt, and maybe she isnt entirely awful and she is definitely just doing her part like they all must, but the way she talks about aemond and his scar here? nah fam kuni aint shit

“I’m afraid I can’t be of much help to you. I haven’t seen it myself.” You’ve wondered about it, though never with such scandalized revulsion. There’s nothing about Aemond that could disgust you. And then you say to comfort her: “But he’s well worth it.”

notice how she head about ivymond being good friends 👀

and how she was paying attention to them before

if she hasnt already put 2+2 together, after the wedding night she def will 👀

“Yes. He’s very clever and chivalrous. He has no vices, drinking, gambling, idleness. He loves history and sword fighting. He always smells of smoke and leather and hard work, like a blacksmith’s forge. He always has ink stains on his hands. And he writes poems.”

havent seen it YET

love to see ivy standing up for her man

“Poems? Really?” Kunigunde says. She’s pleased, but she’s something else as well. There’s that watchfulness in her face again, too many layers for you to sift through. “Have you read many?”

You reply briskly as you lead her out into the scant rain: “Only one.”

never mind, ivy is so obviously in love and kuni can tell too, how could she not 👀

ivy: ah yeah aemond is great, really smart, oh and let me wax poetic about the way he smells and his hands and did i tell you my man writes poems too? but we are just friends ofc theres nothing to see here, what do you mean you cant describe the way your friends smell? thats a wholly normal thing that friends do... isnt it?

kuni (in her mind, probably): is this bitch for real?

“Ivy, I know how you feel—”

“Do you?” you snap. “Have you ever had to feign pleasure as some drunken stranger was invading you? Have you felt that your entire worth was whether or not you could produce a living son—an endeavor that might kill you, by the way—and then been vilified when you could not do it because you were being poisoned, all that sacrifice undone like someone pulling out a loose thread from a tapestry, all those nights of forced smiles and premeditated moans wasted? Have you stolen seconds of happiness, your first in a year, only to watch the person who gave them to you marry someone who is not a pitiful failure by any possible metric but a godsend who surpasses you in every way? Have you felt what it’s like to carry one man’s child when you desire another? No, you haven’t, and you never will. You have no fucking idea what this feels like.”

“My wife…” And you flinch as he says it, like he’s hit you, a palm crashing against your face, a wave of flesh and bone. “She has to be happy here. She has to have a real marriage.”

“Unlike mine.”

He closes his eye. “Yes.”

“Then go,” you say, biting back sobs. “Go and get ready for your wedding.”

“You don’t think I’m being ripped apart by this?” he demands, striking a fist against his chest. “You don’t think I’d like to have some choice in the woman I’m bedding? For once in my life? You don’t think I’ve spent hundreds of hours wondering how our lives would look if the timing had been different, if you could have been wed to me and Aegon given the emperor’s daughter?”

“She’s perfect, she’s…” Your voice breaks off, bitter and fracturing.

“Yes. She must be, everybody agrees. Even the Blacks are in awe of her. They’re petrified by the advantage this match gives us. But I can’t see it. Because I’m not the man I was before and I can’t get him back. Because now I’m covered in you.”

HE SAID THE LINE I REPEAT HE SAID THE LINE *SNIFFLE*

IM NOT THE MAN I WAS BEFORE AND I CANT GET HIM BACK BCOS NOW IM COVERED IN YOUUUUU

You clean tears from your cheeks with quick, aggravated swipes. “I’m sorry our momentary indiscretion has become such a source of regret.”

“I don’t regret it.”

“I’ve made something for you,” Aemond says, kindly now.

“You’ve had it made, you mean.”

“No.” He shows you his hands. He made it himself.

“I don’t want it.” But you’ve made something for him too: a tunic to wear as he takes Kunigunde’s hand in marriage, deep forest green with bears and horses and roses stitched into it with gold thread. You’ve already given the tunic to Daeron so he can present it to his brother this evening. You won’t be there when he’s getting ready. You wouldn’t be able to bear it anyway. “I won’t accept it.”

“Aemond, you don’t have to pretend,” you say. “I know you’ll spend the rest of your life avoiding me. You can start now.”

THEY ARE NOT GOODBYE GIFTS OKAY

THE ARE SEE YOU LATER GIFTS

He comes to you and lays his hand on your belly; you’re not showing yet, but everyone knows you carry Aegon’s child. And now that the sinister cause of your previous losses has been revealed, there is no reason to believe that this one won’t live. “I will always protect you. And the child.”

You reply cynically: “Because if it’s a boy, he might be the king someday?”

Aemond shakes his head. “Because whether boy or girl, it’s a piece of you.”

CRYING

THE HAND ON THE BELLY

I WILL ALWAYS PROTECT YOU AND THE CHILD

BCOS ITS A PIECE OF YOU

“Ivy,” you tell Midnight, showing her the necklace. “He’s carved a leaf of ivy.”

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE CRYING

You put on the necklace—feeling traitorous, feeling heartsick, feeling comforted somehow—and then pick up your sword. You take it to the base of the tree to carve the dates you’ve left there ever-deeper, keeping them alive in a way that your first four children never will be. You locate the small imprints in the bark, and then you stare at them in puzzlement, the sword in your hand abruptly unnecessary. Someone else has already revived them recently. Someone else has traced over the dates so they won’t fade.

Aemond’s words come back to you like rain after a spell of drought: Because whether boy or girl, it’s a piece of you.

“I’m in love with him,” you say aloud for the first time. “I don’t want to be. But I am. And I don’t know how to stop.”

HE TRACED OVER THE DATES I-

AEMONDS GONNA BE THE BEST STEPDADDY

And you stay there for what feels like a lifetime before you return to the palace to ready yourself for his wedding to the Holy Roman Emperor’s daughter.

It’s like I’m reliving everything between us, you think as you look down at the wooden floorboards, unable to watch him linked by the hands with the woman he will share his life with. The stables where we first spoke, the chapel where he gave me the name that only he knows, where now he pledges himself to be someone else’s husband. The beginning and the end.

okay but poor ivy got the short end of the stick, basically

aemond just had to watch a girl he had a crush on/thought he could love marry his brother, but now they actually know and love each other and ivy has to watch the man she is in love with marry someone else, and that someone is not even a girlfailure, like hasnt poor girl been through enough already?! (i know i know shes about to go through a whole lot of other things, pray for the sis shes gonna need it)

Aemond wears the tunic you made for him. Kunigunde wears a delicate and impassive pale blue. You wear the gold ivy leaf necklace and a gown green like envy. There is no sunlight streaming in through the stained glass windows today. Even if the sun had not already set, the sky is thick and churning with rainclouds. There is thunder somewhere, distant, ominous. Hundreds of candles illuminate the chapel like a pinpoint inferno in a world full of darkness.

green like envy 😭🤧

but also the weather? this marriage sure aint blesses by the heavens 👀

Beside you, your husband drains cup after cup of wine, but he cannot escape the inevitable. When the Greens wage war, it is his claim they are fighting for. And as long as he lives, it is he who must wear the crown. Aegon glances at you, smiles tiredly, dark patches around his eyes like a badger’s. He reaches over to touch you fondly, your hair and your cheeks. He drapes an arm across the back of your chair and rests his head on your shoulder, one hand on your belly. Aemond watches this, his eye sharp and glacial, then departs with his new wife to dance.

“How are we tonight?” Aegon asks. Meaning both of you, you and the baby.

THE GENTLE TOUCHES

THE ARM ACROSS HER CHAIR

THE HEAD RESTING ON HER SHOULDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE HAND ON HER BELLY

HOW ARE WE TONIGHT?!

BABYGIRL IS KILLING ME

YOU KNOW IM DOWN BAD FOR AEGON EVEN WHEN HE IS BEING HIS PATHETIC LOSER SELF, SO HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL WHEN HE IS.ACTING.LIKE.THIS?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You twirl messy locks of his white-blond hair around your fingers. “Well enough, all things taken into consideration.” And you wonder, as you do with increasing frequency, what sort of man he might have been if he hadn’t been beaten black and blue by the demands placed upon him since infancy. “Aegon, when are you happiest?”

ALSO AEMOND GIVING THE SIDE EYE

BOY ITS YOUR WEDDING YOU CANT JUDGE

“I don’t know,” he says, as if he hasn’t ever considered it. “Never.”

“Never? Really?”

“When I’m with Sunfyre,” he decides. “And when I think about the fact that I’ll always have you.”

He can’t mean that. He’s spent most of the past twenty-one months ignoring me.

IVY TWIRLING HIS HAIR I-

aegon: ...ill always have you

ivy: 

“I miss you,” he murmurs. “I miss being with you.” He turns your face to his and kisses you sloppily. The Duke of Hightower rolls his eyes—this is far from decorous feast behavior—but is otherwise content to ignore it. Across the exuberant hall, the Montfords hang their heads in resigned disappointment. Aegon’s murky gaze skates over your body: green velvet, gold metal. “I was always uneasy about it because of the pressure to give the Greens an heir. But now…you are already with child. And neither of us were at fault for what happened before.”

OH BOY

HES IN FOR A NASTY SURPRISE 😭🤧

He kisses you again, his tongue darting between your lips, wine and drowsy desire. And you think, through a fog of melancholy and self-loathing: Could I find some happiness with him? If Aemond will spend his life with Kunigunde, if Nico will know true passion with Daeron, if Rhaenyra will have Daemon’s single-minded devotion until it destroys them and their children too…could I have something for myself that makes the burden of existence lighter? Could I even learn to love him? If I tried for months, for years, for decades?

okay but as much as i love ivymond, ivygon is my side ship so this scene sent me into orbit

“I understand if we can’t lie together,” ... “But when you’re ready again…I want you. No one else. I want you so fucking badly it’s killing me. It’s all I can think about.”

It’s just an escape, you think, you know. It’s a port in a storm for him. And yet…perhaps it could be the same for you. You push back his hair and touch your lips to his forehead. “You can have me, Aegon. If you’re gentle.”

He beams at you, dazed with wine and reckless optimism. “I always am.” And he’s right; he is. “Shall we dance, wife?”

Aegon accompanies you around the perimeter of the hall, clumsy and stumbling, yes, but also proud, his palm on your belly, presenting you to various Green-affiliated noblemen and their wives, daughters, sons.

I WANT YOU, NO ONE ELSE

IM ALWAYS GENTLE - AND HES RIGHT HE IS 😭🤧

EGG PROUDLY SHOWING OFF HIS WIFE AND KID I- 😭🤧

They are warm and compassionate to you, appalled by your now-infamous suffering, mindful of the fact that if their faction wins you will soon be the queen; and with a husband like yours, the people closest to him will be more influential than the king himself.

👀

Aemond revolves with Kunigunde—she’s almost as good a dancer as you are, almost, though as far as anyone besides you and Aemond know she’s the best at court—but his eye follows you and Aegon around the crowded room, betrayed even though he has no right to be, incensed by the only honorable choice you can make.

LIVING FOR IVYGON AND JEALOUS AEMOND AND THE ANGST OF IT ALL

Aegon’s wine sloshes out of his cup each time he trips over his own feet, leaving a trail of maroon puddles on the floor.

👀👀👀😭🤧

You and the Duke of Hightower stand together without speaking, watching Aemond and his wife dance together, two flawless figures with their hands resting lightly, sheepishly on each other, speaking in clandestine voices that no one else can hear. It knocks the air out of your lungs once, twice, again. This is going to kill me, you realize. I can’t drown out the memory of his voice with Aegon’s. I can’t stop wanting him.

You study Kunigunde—the daughter of one emperor, the sister of the next, the wife to the man you love, the future mother of his children—and marvel at what you would give to be her. Anything, everything.

edelweiss stands no chance against ivyyyy

“If you love him, you will not imperil him,” the Duke says. “You will not jeopardize our ascension.”

“I love him,” you confess in a splintering whisper.

The Duke of Hightower frowns at you in disappointment, in disgust. “Learn to hide it better.” Then he sweeps away to make his rounds among the noblemen, to ensure their banners are rising and their loyalties unfaltering.

i think the only one who doesnt at least suspect sth at this point is poor egg... but then that wont last for long now lmao

i would scream about ivy confessing her feelings for her bro-in-law to her hubbys grandpa but honestly? aint no way otto didnt already know, this was just the final confirmation

learn to hide it better lmao, you should tell that to aemond too

if you looked up the definition of unsubtle in a dictionary it would just be a pic of ivymond

“Yes, she’s certainly the next best thing, isn’t she?” Nico says cheerfully.

You furrow your brow in confusion. “Second to who?”

Nico grins. “You, of course.” And then she sees your horrified expression. As usual, she’s hit just a bit too close to the mark, to the truth. Nico stammers an explanation. “I mean, you know, because you’re such good friends, and you understand him, he’s so odd to most people, so unnerving, but you like him as he is and he’s clearly smitten with you, and if you weren’t already married to Prince Aegon you’d be his choice for a wife, I’d imagine, but since it’s impossible…”

protect nico at all cost

“No, you stay. You’re having such a good time. I don’t want to ruin it for you.”

“It’ll be ruined if I fear you’re unhappy.”

“I’m happy,” you insist. “I’m happy, Nico.” I’ll never be happy again.

As you pass by the high table, you see that Aegon has laid his head down beside his plate and is practically unconscious. You fly through the corridors and take refuge in your bedchamber, a sanctuary, a prison.

nico is the bestie ivy deserves

but also cryiiiiing for ivy

hes clearly not unconscious ENOUGH tho is he now 😭🤧

You don’t even let your ladies undress you. You send them away and kneel down on the bearskin rug and stay there waiting for nothing, time crawling over you, prickling and slow and murderous like ivy. As the bells toll and the hours pass you imagine what they mean, you envision it, though you wish you couldn’t. Now he is taking off her nightgown. Now he is combing out her long lustrous hair with his agile fingers. Now he is admiring the glow of her bare skin in the firelight. Now he is tracing the slope of her jaw with the lightest touch—entranced, reverent—and tilting up her chin to kiss her. Now his hands are on her throat, her breasts, her waist, her thighs that have never been stained with the blood of another man’s child, parting them, reaching between them, angling himself to enter her. But he won’t rush; he won’t want to cause his lover pain. For all of their innumerable differences, he and Aegon have that in common.

ivy kneeling on the bearrug, imagining whats going on with kunimond was so big brainded and so so devastating i love pain:)

You stare into the flames until they blur and bleed together, your eyes brimming with tears. And suddenly it feels like the fire is inside rather than out: your throat, your lungs, everything you’re made of, searing through vertebrae and veins. It feels like you could burn until there’s nothing left but echoes, threadbare ricochets of memory, a murmur of ash. Aegon does not appear. He’s probably not fucking some Green loyalist’s daughter, you concede that much, but he’s gone nonetheless: passed out under a table, or in a stairwell, or in the garden, or in Sunfyre’s stall in the royal stables. Aemond is bedding his wife and Nico will dance with Daeron until the sun rises but you are here alone, alone, alone, and you always will be. When Aegon drinks himself to death you will be widowed. When your child is born it will be given away to wetnurses and governesses. Nothing here is truly yours. Even if the Greens win, there’s no scenario in which you do.

*THIS PAIN is insufferable. i love it

You cover your mouth with both hands. You don’t want anyone to hear you sobbing and decide to investigate, to piece together what has caused you such distress. Tears pour down your cheeks like spring rain. And you know now that if you are ivy to Aemond, then surely he is the same to you: a merciless trespasser, vines that have grown through your palms and into your bloodstream, scraping along the path of ruby arteries until they strangle the heart. There’s no point in trying to rip him out of you. There’s no way to return to the person you were before.

writing? 👨‍🍳💋👌🏻

The bedchamber door flies open and slams shut, so quickly it’s over before you register what’s happening; hurried footsteps travel across the wooden floor. You whirl to find Aemond standing in the stone-heavy silence, in the firelight. You’ve never seen him like this before. He’s still wearing his eyepatch, but his long silver hair hangs free and wild, strands obstructing his face. He is dressed in only loose trousers and a white sleeping shirt that has been unbuttoned down to his navel. He’s backed himself against the wall. He’s trembling all over.

AEMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOND

he really said:

AND I LOVE THAT FOR IVY AND FOR US

“Alright,” you agree immediately. He won’t look at you, his blue eye darting everywhere except your face. He runs his fingers through his hair, shaking his head, breathing rapidly. Perspiration gleams on his bare chest, etchings and basins and steppes you’d only ever imagined. You ask him softly: “What happened?”

“I couldn’t do it,” Aemond says. At last, his gaze catches on yours, as if he’s surrendering, as if a gap in a page has been filled. “Not with her.”

Before you can ask him, Aemond’s palms are on your tear-streaked face, and he’s kissing you with an intensity that cuts through all the strings that were knotted around you just minutes ago: hopelessness and solitude and bone-rattling terror. Your hands debate stopping him; instead, they come to rest on his salt-damp chest, exploring hungrily, a feast after famine. He’s begging for you in every way but words. There’s no question as to what your answer will be. There should be, but there isn’t; you need him in a way that is inescapable, like the seasons, like time.

HE COULDNT DO IT

NOT WITH KUNI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“We’ll go very slowly.”

Kissing the side of your face, his left hand smoothing back your hair, Aemond begins to ease himself into you. There is pressure—tremendous, delicious pressure—but no pain yet. He stops to give you time to adjust; and perhaps it’s for him as well, shaking with euphoria and anticipation, trying to last long enough to please you. The first tentative rays of dawn are bleeding in from the slits between the curtains. And then there’s a sound that at first you don’t recognize: a creaking, a draft of new air. It’s the bedchamber door opening.

It happens too quickly for you to push Aemond away, to make any attempt to disguise your treason, your lethal weakness. There is only time to turn your face towards the open door to see who has discovered you. Perhaps it is the newlywed Kunigunde searching for her absconder husband, or the Duke of Hightower ready to drag Aemond back to consummate the marriage, or Daemon coming to murder you, or a servant or a guard or Queen Alicent or Sir Criston Cole. Each would be horrific in its own way, legacy-shattering, life-threatening.

But the intruder is none of these people. It is the one silhouette you didn’t even consider. You had assumed he wouldn’t be here. He’s almost never here.

The person in the doorway is Aegon.

YOU GUYS WENT TOO SLOW  😭🤧💀

TRUST AEGON THAT HIS TIMING WILL ALWAYS BE THE WORST

COULDNT HE LET THEM FINALLY HAVE A LIL HAPPINESS AND DISCOVER THEM IN POST COITAL BLISS FFS

BUT ALSO POOR AEGON YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE MY PERSON, ILL ALWAYS HAVE YOU TARGARYEN IS GONNA BE FUCKING CRUSHED OMG

NOT LIKE HE HAS A LEG TO STAND ON MR. FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH HES CHEATED ON IVY MORE THAN ENOUGH, GUY HAS A WHOLE BASTARD, IVYS ONLY CRIMES ARE BEING BORN A WOMAN AND CHEATING WITH HIS BRO INSTEAD OF SOME RANDO, BUT STILL I-

having thoughts about kunimonds situation... we dont actually know how far they went (did he put it in? i hope not lmao) but im choosing to believe they did not consummate and kuni is still a virgin, in which case they arent married in the eyes of god or whatever and IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES IF THEY CAN KEEP THAT UP

sooo curious to see how egg is gonna react

i dont think hes gonna have them quartered

hes definitely gonna up his drink count tho

and thats as far as i will go with my predictions for his reaction lol

i mean if otto were to find out he would force them in bed and stand there till his oh so precious alliance is sealed airtight, BUT what if kunimond keep what happened on the dl?

provided aegon doesnt make a whole show that will alert everyone of the fact that aemond was in the wrong bed/rug on his wedding night

if i was kuni i wouldnt wanna brag about my new hubby dropping me so soon, she could just put some blood on the sheets and call it a day and then try to entice her husband into consummating their marriage later, with the rest of the world being non the wiser of the shambles that is her marriage

all that to say if their marriage could remain unconsummated, and kuni a virgin then they could just get the pope to annul their marriage freeing aemond up, and if poor egg really dies, then ivy will be a widow... you see where im going with this :) 👀

ik ik if they wanna get in the good graces of the holy roman emperor by appeasing his daughter and giving her a real and loving marriage then none of what i just said works towards that goal, but then neither do aemonds actions this night, so i will keep on dreaming ✌🏻

Let me know if you’d like to be added! 💜

She’s worse than you could have ever imagined.

She’s dignified and graceful and courteous, stunning like an opal or a pearl, a portrait in motion. She has hushed footsteps and large bright eyes that dart around taking in every detail. You can tell she’s intelligent, everyone can tell, and that’s worse than all the rest of it; as she and Aemond stroll together through the gardens, she asks him questions about history and hunting, and then has clever retorts to his answers. Their conversation has the seamless, pacific quality of language between people who have known each other for years. It’s just like the Duke of Hightower said it would be. She is precisely the sort of woman Aemond would have chosen for himself.

fluff/relationships w the liyue crew

characters included: xiao, childe, beidou, and zhongli

ik i forgot ningguang i promise i’ll include her in part 2, i just didn’t have time :(

all x a gn! reader 

my liyue babies :,) ft. ningguang in spirit

an: i was listening to my soft playlist (more like listening to cupid’s chokehold on repeat, no i am not basic 🔪) and i thought some fluff headcanons would be cute w these sweet people

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

xiao

ok so no surprise that he hates liyue harbor

he hates anything w a lot of people in it so he prefers to stay at wangshu inn tyvm

but by contrast, you love liyue harbor sm (it’s gorgeous i mean c’mON)

you go there often to retrieve your commissions in order to stay closer to xiao (liyue harbor is closer than mondstadt he argues but you’re well aware that they’re both equally far away)

so if anyone asked, xiao would absolutely refuse to go to the harbor like i hate people??? why would you even ask???

but,,,he’s so sOFT for you

if you asked??? he would agree in a heartbeat

but since he’s >:( angsty boy, he makes you think that he won’t go even when he’s already decided that he’s coming w you

he puts up the “if you so require, then i guess i will assist you with your travels in liyue harbor” but in reality he would definitely have said yes even without the almond tofu

while he hates the harbor, he thinks that with you anything is bearable :,) simp

you take him to see xinyan to vibe w her music and you can tell he really enjoys it

even tho he’s like 🕴 the entire time, you see the softer look on his face and the very slight smile on his lips as he listens to the music and watches the crowd

so so so cute very soft for him

i do see him as a subtly touchy person in public like brushing the hair off your face, swiping his thumb across your cheek, or gently pulling your hair back when you have a plate of food in your hands 

the type to link your pinkies together - he claims it’s so you don’t get lost but yk better 

after the concert is done you take him to that one waypoint near mt. tianheng and the both of you just watch the city lights and the way they reflect beautifully on the water surrounding the harbor 

personal headcanon that xiao absolutely loves stargazing since he believes the stars are the one true constant in his life especially since he’s experienced so much loss (basically they’ll never leave him god i hate myself why do i make everything SAD)

mini headcanon off of that - he doesn’t stargaze with people,,, like ever 

it’s something he loves to do alone so the fact that he lets you stargaze w him and even allows you to shift your head onto his lap while you watch the sky is a huge deal 

he loves it when you softly whisper abt how your day was or something you saw that made you laugh 

he just loves hearing your voice, it automatically calms the voices in his head 

you absolutely ADORE when he has flowers in his hair especially cecilias (cecillias? ceccillias? idfk) and you make a point whenever you go to mondstadt to pick a fresh batch of cecilias just for xiao while enlisting the help of your favorite bard  

these soft moments on the mountain are usually when you’ll sweetly tuck in a flower or two in his hair while laughing 

he’ll blush fiercely while looking away but will tuck the cecilias in securely as you’re unable to do so due to the position you’re in on his lap

all in all - this was not meant to come out as a date idea but we’re going w it 

this is so cute xiao pls let me put flowers in your hair sweet boy <3

childe

god, loml, my favorite war criminal after eren yeager 

there’s never a dull moment w this man - if you wanted peace and quiet, why the hell are you dating him bestie???

is the type of person to yell out “Y/N, i can’t believe i ran into you here!” if he sees you somewhere even tho you explicitly told him you were going to be here in the morning (ik you have a good memory ajax don’t lie to me 😐)

i don’t see him as being obnoxious w pda unlike someone else kaeya but he would definitely participate (think: handholding, cheek kisses, an arm around your shoulders)

loves it when he comes home and sees you in an apron cooking 

domesticity just makes his heart melt so you can be sure that your face will be peppered w a lot of kisses afterwards <3 

absolutely ADORES it when you trace his scars absentmindedly when you’re lying down or even when you’re having dinner in public  

he’s been far from his family for so long that small acts of mindless affection like this really make his heart happy 

you have him drunk on your love luv haha see what i did there 

he will let you put makeup on him. no i do not take criticism ⛄️

he already has on lowkey thick eyeliner,,, don’t be shy put some more bestie 

he will shamelessly go out in public w whatever you made him wear - doesn’t really give a shit even tho he has a reputation to maintain 

speaking of reputation,,, yk his mask? yeah that one - the red hair accessory that he has on his head

well on the mask, he attached a little charm the both of you got together on your first date during lantern rite 

it’s this adorable fox that we all shamelessly kill for meat and he placed it so it anchored to the side of his mask so when he fights it isn’t a nuisance or anything (does that make sense??? i hope it does) 

his subordinates notice and while they’re stoic around childe, behind closed doors they do whisper abt the mysterious person who’s captured his heart 

not so mysterious anymore when they literally see him cling onto you during his daily patrol around the harbor 💀

it’s ok tho he’s lucky he’s cute 

bestie,,, pls give him a neck massage 

i just KNOW he’s tense there idk something abt the way he carries himself just screams “my neck hurts so bad someone pls help me i would ask but my pride literally will not let me”

so give him a neck massage :) don’t worry tho he’ll definitely return the favor and then some

LOVES TICKLE FIGHTS 

he’s obsessed w them,,, it’s just the faces you make??? he can’t get enough 

he loves seeing the pure joy and the brief fear (he’s kind of a sadist) in your eyes before he attacks you w those damned hands 

it reminds him a lot of simpler times w his siblings and he’s happy he brings you joy and makes you forget your worries - at least for a little while 

all in all, he’s a good boy and no i will not tolerate childe slander 🔪 kaeya slander tho 😏

beidou

you pulled beidou??? wow everyone’s jealous (pulled as in literally from the banner and in this context but no i do not have beidou and no i definitely do not want to talk abt it)

god made beidou and zhongli just so all of us could have a sexuality crisis 

anyways, being w her is hard i will not lie 

not bc she isn’t a capable lover - no, quite the contrary 

she’s an amazing partner but the problem here lies in the fact that she’s almost never on land 

it’s hard working a long distance relationship but y’all love each other so it works out :,) 

when she is physically present however, expect to never be bored 

she’ll quietly fix the wrinkles on your shirt or fiddle with your fingers in her hands while she recounts her adventures out on sea 

she sometimes gets worried she bores you, however the way your eyes light up every time she tells a tale always reassures her otherwise

definitely the type to let you use her claymore if you want to learn 

she’ll provide useful tips as she tucks her hands into your sides gently, positioning you correctly so you don’t hurt yourself 

miss girl is an AMAZING cook 

i just know she cooks the best meals - i mean she’s friends w xiangling after all 

whenever she comes home from a voyage she’ll always insist on making something for you even if she’s abt to pass out 

pls tuck her into bed and promise her that she can make you something in the morning <3 the poor woman needs rest 

brings you back trinkets but they’re actually very practical 

she knows you won’t have much use for a simple charm (not that there’s anything wrong w that) but she believes you’ll like something practical more so she might get you a new engraved knife from the most recent place she’s been to 

definitely the type to surprise you when she docks 

i can imagine her anchoring her ship out a little ways from liyue harbor and rowing to the dock in order to make sure you aren’t alerted of her presence (i’m sorry the mental picture this made in my mind is SENDING ME INTO ORBIT but she means well i love you)

will take you to remote spots she’s found in her travels through liyue 

for example - the little heart shaped island and the island quest (?) that you had to use kaeya the bridge maker for in order to get to im sorry i’ll stop w the kaeya slander

she’ll get you seashell bracelets or necklaces idk why but she gives me those vIBES 

they’re super nice ones too, only the highest quality for you 

yes she’s a bruh girl but i also see her as someone who would enjoy intimate moments like watching the sunset or something 

“yo wanna catch the sunset, i heard it looks sick from the jade chamber” said before ahem it yk fell from the sky

kasdjksfashfjsahf yes ofc i would love to catch the sunset w you pls come home luv

anyways, she is a woman i would give the world for 

zhongli

ok gimme a sec i need to get my gentleman mode on 

this man,,, THIS MAN 

everything w him is so soft like your entire eXISTENCE w him could go in a museum it’s that beautiful 

in the morning when he visits you, he always brings you a cup of your favorite tea and a bouquet of glaze lilies he got from madame ping

holds the door for you, pushes the chair out for you, uses a napkin and brushes sauce off your lips when you’re eating - you name something sweet, he’s done it

secretly loves it when you fuss over him 

he doesn’t like to fight but say he encountered a group of hillichurls he couldn’t avoid and promptly defeated them but ended up tearing a part of his tux(?) (is it a tux? i could not tell you)

not that big of a deal, i mean it’s a scratch, he’s a 6,000 year old god, he’s dealt w much worse 

but seeing the worried crease in your brows as you usher him to sit at the table while quickly grabbing antiseptic to clean his wound

“it’s just a scratch, my dear. do not worry i’ve dealt with much worse.”

you quietly protest abt how “yes zhongli, i understand you’re an archon and have gotten worse injuries but i’m worried about infection just please let me take care of you ok? <3″ 

when you say that he feels weird emotions,,, wdym take care of him? 

he’s always taken care of himself or been expected to take care of others as the former ruling deity of liyue so having someone else genuinely worry abt his wellbeing creates a warm feeling in his chest 

he strikes me as the type to knit you something??? idk maybe it’s the grandpa vibes but i headcanon that he would knit you a scarf for the colder weather, it’s cute 

in the privacy of your home, he really likes picking you up

he loves it when you wrap your legs around his middle while he gets up to go do the dishes or smthg 

domesticity go brrrr

if you’re into making flower crowns, he would totally have you on his lap and wordlessly hand you a glaze lily whenever you expectantly hold your hand out while weaving the flowers together 

he expects you to make the crown for yourself but when you place the crown on his head and it fits perfectly while simultaneously tucking a glaze lily behind your ear, he looks at you dumbstruck 

his mouth parts open in awe and it’s quite literally the cutest thing

you’ve broken him 

thinks it’s the sweetest thing - will keep it on his head for the whole day 

he’ll even put it in water before he sleeps so it won’t wilt and he can wear it the next day <3 

scenic picnics!! scenic picnics!! 

the type to take you to the nicest spots in liyue to chat abt the history of the land w you over a cup of tea and your favorite food (whatever you like, he doesn’t mind)

recounts the people he’s met in his long life before finishing off by saying you’re by far the best person he’s met 

zhongli strangles lovingly come home soon 

thanks for reading! if you have any requests don’t hesitate to send them in <3

just saw SoD again for the third time and here are some disconnected thoughts

- very weird how in the 90s we got wizards who looked weird and gnc and crazy but we couldn’t have anyone be explicitly queer or ND or have sex outside marriage, now we get canon gays and an autistic main character and someone having a kid underage out of wedlock but they all have to wear grey and black suits

- i hate the Qillin plotline it’s so cheap and lessens the ideology and AWWWWW LOOK AT ITS LITTLE FEET LISTEN TO ITS TRILL AWWWWW IT CHOSE ALBUS IT LOVES HIM AAWWW

- giant shout-out to the two teen girls in Gryffindor robes in my aisle, y’all are living your best life

- especial shout-out to the one that slapped her friend in the cafe scene and hissed so loud i could hear, “ALBUS. HE CALLED HIM ALBUS I TOLD YOU.”

- oh shit Gellert is trying to make the Qilin bow to him in that first scene, he really thinks it will, it’s only when it doesn’t that he kills it

- goddamn Gellert’s movie ideology makes no sense at all

- so the PLAN is to seduce Vogel to their side so that Gellert can stand as a candidate, Vogel’s excuse is that this is so he can be fairly defeated, but we see from the massive cheering crowd that he’s actually wildly popular and the trick is that Vogel is actually working for Gellert

- that’s a good plan!!!!

- the movie really suffers from HAVING to be about a Fantastic Beast so they get shoehorned in, there didn’t need to be baby deer necromancy

- talk about inconsistency...in back to back scenes Gellert goes “it’s his LOYALTY i want not success” and then immedlately “DON’T FAIL ME AGAIN” okay...pick tho. same thing with “his pain is his power” vs “oh ew you’re feeling pain? let me take that away.”

- if no one else is gonna run away with Lally I’ll do it i’ll take one for the team please i love her

- lmaoooooo way to send the most obvious assassin in the world, i bet it’s the guy with the thick smudged eyeliner and the hissing evil wine glass

- the pacing of the Bhutan election scene is absolutely terrible until the blood troth thing

- I love Newt I wish he got more to do emotionally but that’s what happens when you’re the zookeeper trapped in someone else’s messy gay divorce

- Jacob. My man.

- Everything with Yusuf is awful. What happened to his memories? He never seemed to LIKE Leta that much in CoG. his “heel face turn” is predictable and not especially interesting.

- i’m genuinely embarrassed for how attracted I am to Theseus.

- more inconsistency - Queenie joins Gellert because the wizards won’t let her marry Jacob...so he also won’t let her marry Jacob?? also why is she scared to leave Grindelwald?? we’ve never seen that people aren’t allowed to leave lmao.

- i can’t keep criticizing this movie i genuinely do love it, this is my third time seeing it and each time i laugh, i cry, i get upset about the divorce, Mads is amazing and Jude Law singlehandedly saved this franchise for me

- every time Albus stares at the portrait of his sister i just hear this

[idek20000]

Just some of my Naruto Shippuden ship and friendship Headcannons cuz I feel like sharing and I can

SasuNaru (relationship)

* Definitely the couple that has the soft boy and the wannabe e boy who's only soft for his boyfriend

* Naruto is perfetional clothing thief

* Bestfriends/Enemies/Boyfriends, I don't make the rules

* Sasuke is overprotective, jealous, AND territorial, so if they ever argue, then that's more than likely the reason behind it

* Sai is totally who got them together, and here's how...

* Sasuke hated Sai's guts because him and Naruto were close so Sasuke saw that as "Wtf, he's taking Naruto from me". Naruto obviously liked Sasuke and even Sai saw it but Sasuke was too blinded by his jealousy and insecurities to see. So of course Sai just comes out one day in front of everyone and is like, "Sasuke. Naruto. Please just get together. The sexual tension is suffocating."

* After a long, long talk they finally announced that they were dating

* Shikamaru didn't really like Sasuke before but now he doesn't like him at all. He's the overprotective dad bestfriend and has probably tried to kill Sasuke on multiple occasions

* HEY EMO BOY-

* Sakura wasn't the happiest camper when she found out they were dating

* She's fine now tho

* Sasuke would call Naruto "Honey", in the same voice as Craig from South Park, fight me

* I feel like NäŘűťØ ůĆHīhÂ

Sorry, I just had to include that-

SasuNaru As Parents

* They would definitely have one or two sons, maybe a daughter too

* When their first son was under a year old he didn't really like or trust Sasuke all that much and was more about Naruto

* He warmed up eventually and now he thinks his dad is the coolest

* Naruto would be the understanding parent while Sasuke would be the parent who was secretly worried about them all the time

* OVERPROTECTIVE SASUKE LIVES ON

* Their son would throw rocks at the window of the Hokage office and Naruto would look down and see a message on the ground, written out in rocks (normally saying things like 'I love you' or 'Good luck!' And it always Makes Naruto's day

* They do their best to keep their son happy and healthy

KanKiba (relationship)

* The couple to stay up all night and watch funny pet compilations

*Kankuro is Akamaru approved, and Kiba finds that EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE-

* Sometimes Kankuro will lay down with Kiba sitting on his stomach and he'll try to do his makeup

* Kiba has most likely had to save some children from Kankuro's wrath

* Kankuro will literally be as mean as a snake one moment and then as soon as he sees Kiba it's like: (/^▽^)/

* When I tell you Temari loves Kiba I mean it-

* They've become bestfriends and Temari calls Kiba more pet names than Kankuro does

* For example: Sweetheart, Sweetie, Sweet Thing, and basically anything that includes the word "Sweet"

*Gaara likes him too. Kiba said that he thought his plants were nice AND liked his eyeliner

* After meeting Kiba for the first time Temari went up to Kankuro and said "If you don't marry him, me or Gaara will." while Gaara stood beside her, nodding his head in agreement

* Kankuro and Shikamaru have this really screwed up relationship lmao

* Shikamaru would be overprotective over Kiba and of course Kankuro would be protective of his big sister

* "Ha. I'm dating your sister."

"I'm dating your bestfriend. So suck it, bitch."

"Wait what-"

* Everytime they see each other, whether it be Kankuro approaching Konoha's gates or Kiba approaching Suna's, Kiba always tackles Kankuro in a big hug, making them end up laughing uncontrollably on the ground in each other's arms

* Their relationship is poggers

* Kiba would mock the SHIT out of Kankuro

* "💅ŁéŤ§✨hĄvƏ💫ą🧚‍♀️pŮpPèť🤡šHØw👁§ėçřëț💯błÂČķ👾mĀÏđƏñ💥ŤhË🥵ŠhÖWş💋õVÊŘ😍"

"FUCK OFF!"

KanKiba As Parents

* Would have an older son who is super stoic and serious and then a younger son who is more fun and outgoing

* The older would be into something like archery while the younger likes both dogs and puppets so he tries to mix the two as well as he can

* They would like to get into Kankuro's face paint and try to be like him

* I feel like their sons would both be able to use chakra strings and would lowkey swing around like Spider-Man/AOT

* Very loving and caring parents

* Kankuro is that, "I'm going to give you this, but don't tell your mother" type father

* They're both pretty chill parents, but they're definitely not to be seen as pushovers

* Overall good, fun parents

Shika, Naru, and Kiba (friendship)

* Papa 'Maru and his two dumb babies

* Shikamaru probably makes them hold his hands when they cross the street tbh

* Shikamaru is probably the one who has to listen to them rant about their boyfriends, meanwhile he's doing nothing but adding to list of "Why I should kill Sasuke Uchiha and Kankuro Sabaku"

* When I'm sad I imagine that Kiba doesn't have a dad so he asked Shikamaru to walk him down the aisle on his wedding day and Maru cried-

* Or that Kankuro would ask Shikamaru's permission to propose after asking Kiba's mother and sister-

* I'm a sap for Papa Maru, ok-?

* Everytime Naruto and Kiba do something stupid, which is usually all the time, Shikamaru and Akamaru would just give each other the look

* You are my dad...You're my dad! Boogie woogie woogie!

* "Maru."

"Maru."

"Maru?"

"Maru."

"Maru!"

"MARU!"

"WHAT!?"

"Hi."
