#makeup game hella strong

[user-needs-new-hyperfixation]

For the character ask game, how about Fay D. Fluorite! (Or maybe Qi Rong lol whichever you prefer).

Send Me a Character & I'll Tell You✨️

Fai D Flourite (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)

(please excuse my spelling variant, I've been using this too long lmao) (I might do Qi Rong tomorrow but alas I havta go to bed)

My first impression: tragically, I have no idea. It's simply been too long. This man has been living in my head so long that my love of him could get its driving license.

My impression now: I feel like Fai is the foundation of all my blorbos. The horribly traumatized self-hating little guy who pretends to be strong and cheerful for the sake of those around him and has strong Mom energy is basically the template all my other blorbos are variations of.

Favorite thing about that character: he's so good, for all that he thinks he's so bad. He cares so much in spite of himself. He loves his children so fiercely. He's also just hella clever.

Least favorite thing: No notes, 10/10, all of his bad traits are Important to the makeup of what makes him special.

Favorite line/scene: the infamous punch signalling the end of the divorce arc is great and probably my favourite happy bit, and for sadness that part in Acid Tokyo when Kurogane jerks away from him and he slides down the wall and sits there with his hand over his face. Oof. Lovely pain.

Favorite interaction that character has with another: that moment in World Chronicle where Syaoran launches himself at Fai and Fai sort of stumbles back against Kurogane and stays there looking up at him all adoring and beautiful with Kurogane's arm around them both? Life-changing.

A character that I wish that character would interact with more: Yuuko, for the entertainment value

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: so many characters I've loved. William James Moriarty, Xie Lian, Dani from Bly Manor, even freakin' Dean fookin' Winchester. They've all got a little something that reminds me of him.

A headcanon about that character: Does not only bottom, in spite of the obvious Yaoi Dimorphism 😂😂

A song that reminds of that character: pretty sure I first heard this song in a Kurofai amv a decade+ ago and it's stuck ever since. Also this for some reason.

An unpopular opinion about that character: see headcanon 😂 (actually I've seen a fair number of fics with him topping. I'm not in touch with this fandom enough to know what is and isn't popular.)

Favorite picture: since I'm already talking about it --

[kaycode1999]

Hey I saw you were doing matchups for LMK and wanted to send something in!!

I am nonbinary, use she/they pronouns and I’m not fully sure abt my sexuality but I know I’m into guys at least

I tend to be quite outspoken with my opinions and will get into debates over them though I try not the be too aggressive. I’m very emotional at times, wether it be getting super excited, sad or upset. I’m very passionate about what I’m into and will support my friends in their interests. I fall between introverted and extroverted, sometimes parties can be fun but I also love just hanging out with a friend without saying a word for hours

My aesthetic also changes a lot. It tends to lean more towards alt styles but wether it be neon colours with tons of accessories, mostly black and edgier clothing or even something along cottage or fairy core varies a lot based on my mood. I love simple makeup, mostly bold lipsticks maybe with some dots around my eyes for fun. I’m abt 5’4, shoulder length, kind of curly, brown hair. I have higher cheekbones that I’m very proud of and I’m quite pale as well

As for hobbies, I’m super into art (mostly character based), it’s something I’ve done my whole life. I love story analysis and have always excelled in English and ethics courses because of it, essay writing is something I’m also real good at and love. I bake every once in a while, I think shopping can be hella fun, I don’t often go on hikes but when I do I enjoy them. I’m also super into horror movies and videos. I don’t get scared by movies anymore but I can be scared by other things. I also love physical affection but will refrain if other ppl aren’t comfy with it

I don’t necessarily have a type but characters I want to avoid are as follows: Pigsy, Tang, MK, and any villains post season 2 (LBD, Peng, weird snake guy, etc.) (Macaque is fine though cause of his kind of redemption(?) thing)

I match you with Red Son

I think he appreciates your being outspoken. He likes knowing exactly how you feel instead of having to guess

He's not so used to someone being emotional. If he knows you're upset he will be so awkward in a sweet way ( patting your head and saying there there kind of thing), but he's there as much as he can be and the more he gets used to it the more he gets better at being there for you when/if you're upset

His parents aren't the most supportive of his interests so having someone like you who is means so much to him and he's the same with you

He’s much more on the introverted side, but you help him become more friendly with people.

He loves your darker aesthetic, but honestly he’ll be really flustered seeing you in the cottage or fairy core one

He makes a point to get you art supplies whenever he sees some he knows you like and/or need and he always loves seeing whatever you create

He's a demon so ethics isn't exactly his strong suit, though when he reads anything you write on the matter you automatically win him over

This isn't everyone’s thing so if he can tell it annoys you he won't do it, but he would really enjoy baking something with you. Trying out new recipes or creating new ones.

He’ll also bake stuff FOR you sometimes as a little gift to show his affection

He really likes going shopping with you

I get the feeling he isn't super coordinated so he's terrible at playing games with you but he tries

He's a demon so any kind of horror movies won't phase him at all

He’s not used to physical affection at first so it takes him time to get used to it but once he does he loves giving you hugs and cuddles and all that stuff

[steampunk-ghostxx]

Got tagged in a lil tag game by @satanic-thirst-boy!! 😊

Last Song: 'Blue Jeans' by Lana Del Rey

Favorite Colour: I can't choose just one, I really like black, purple, & neon green! Honorary mention to red too, bc as of late I've noticed I wear a lot of red too xD

Just Finished Watching: Idk if YouTube videos are what this one means, but I just finished rewatching Trixie Mattel put her drag makeup on Brittany Broski xD If YouTube doesn't count for this, then the last movie I saw was the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie! (Which I might go see again this weekend bc it was so good)

Sweet/Savory/Spicy?: I'm a savory bitch!! Sweet stuff is nice sometimes tho. Spicy stuff I have to be a bit careful with since I have GERD, but I do like the occasional spicy thing!

Relationship Status: Hella single, but maybe crushin' a lil on someone 😳(Also, just bc I'm single DOESN'T MEAN I AM INTERESTED!!!!)

Current Obsessions: Always music/lyrics! Reading is also pretty high up there rn too! I've also been messing around with makeup a bit more lately too (which is nice bc I fell off doing makeup [and reading] for a while bc mental illness things)

Last Thing I Googled: lyrics to a song that I was writing the lyrics to in my lyric notebook xD ('One Step at a Time' by Four Year Strong for those curious)

I'll tag a few of ya, but don't feel like you need to do this if you don't want to! @feministthembot @ohheyitsjustbear @2-grams @shoobadawoop @succubuskutieexe @babymorte @deathxw1sh @sailor-tatooine🖤✨

Kimetsu no Yaiba Role - Reverse AU : Demon Moons Version

So the last one got out of hand. Surely, this one won't as well-

(Jk it's gonna be long asf)

But I managed to fill all the spots HELL YEAH

Upper Moon One : Himejima

I mean, do I have to say much more.

He's 7'2" I mean come on

Plus he's canonically one of the strongest Pillars (COUGH Demon Moons) in the series.

Physically, he’s just as buff as his human counterpart, with kind of the only difference being that he has what looks to be cracks running down his arms and fingers. His eyes are still white and he can’t see, but the kanji for ‘Upper Moon One’ is engraved into them.

His Blood Demon Art would resemble Earthbending, to be honest.

Not exactly like it, but it is a martial art. It takes a lot of strength to do, and since Himejima is blind, he sees based off of vibrations and the like (not with his feet like Toph no-)

He’ll kill any human but children. He refuses to kill children.

Still religious despite it being kind of hypocritical.

Upper Moon Two : Uzui

Step out of the way it’s DADDY

Still hot as fuck

His eye makeup isn’t makeup anymore, it’s his demon crest.

As an Upper Moon, he’s slightly paler than his human counterpart, but still likes to drip jewels and other expensive items.

He had three human wives before, now he has three demon wives that he loves very very much. More than you would think a demon could love somebody else.

His Blood Demon Art obviously deals with sound. With it, he can charm any human into doing his bidding (killing themselves / each other, etc). They don’t even have to see him for it to be effective.

Btw he uses a harp to make his music, and sometimes his voice.

He only gives the time of day to opponents that will wow him. If they aren’t flamboyant at all, he won’t fight with all his strength. He’ll just kill them.

Impress him, and you may even be able to walk away with your life

Upper Moon Three : Kyoujuro

Certified does not wear a shirt

Somehow a very jubilant demon. He feels hella adrenaline when getting into fights

Battling him is a cross between trying not to fucking die and trying not to listen to him while he compliments your strength

Doesn’t often kill civilians. His only true enemies are Demon Slayers, so until they’re eradicated he won’t hurt innocent people

He uses a katana in battle, and his Blood Demon Art deals with fire of course.

It’s a close-quarters ability. Any injuries he leaves on his opponent will begin to leave burns all over their skin, stemming from the point where his katana contacted their skin.

Very pretty demon crest. A bright red flame that starts just below his left hip, and blazes an interesting trail diagonally across his chest, wrapping around his neck and right shoulder.

In a way, he’s charming. A respectful opponent, and one that shouldn’t be underestimated.

Upper Moon Four : Sanemi

One word to describe ‘Nemi

VIOLENT

Always covered in blood somehow. He’s decorated in it by the time his opponents are dead

He has no qualms in killing civilians, whether they be women or children. The only reason he avoids babies is because he doesn’t like how they taste, but everything else is fair game to him

He has big, big wings that protrude from his back, similar to that of a hawk’s. He doesn’t use them to fly often, seeing as that would draw attention to him in largely populated areas. They are usually tucked away. During battles, they are unfurled, and used to sense the locations of his enemies, as well as how many of them there are.

His wings can produce gales of wind so strong they would peel the skin off of an average person. He is fast, but not quite the fastest out of all of the Demon Moons.

He has a disadvantage in close quarters, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t strong. He could just as easily snap someone’s neck if they got too close to him for too long.

Upper Moon Five : Giyuu

Loner boy isn’t often seen. He lets Demon Slayers seek him out instead of the other way around. Most of the time, they walk straight into his trap, and are never seen again. Not even a drop of their blood is left behind.

He hides in the same area most of the time; the ocean. A port village that often sees sailors lost at sea. Giyuu doesn’t usually eat civilians, but just enough for it to be seen as off.

Resides in the sea, right under the docks. A half-submerged cave is where he makes his home. Demon Giyuu is equipped with gills, as well as eyes that can see clearly through the dark water. He is at his strongest in the water, and rarely goes onto land unless he absolutely has to.

Because of his reclusive nature, Giyuu goes mostly unaccounted for by the Demon Slayer Corps. Unless he accidentally puts himself out there, you wouldn’t be able to track him easily.

His demon crest looks like dozens of splotches of blue water, all over the right side of his face and neck. He has no particularly special ability, aside from his lightning reflexes and agility. That’s usually all he needs to make an easy kill.

Upper Moon Six : Obanai

 Obviously part snake

I’m gonna go off on a limb and say he’s very similar to the snake demon we see during his backstory, but not quite so chummy with humans. He has no worshippers.

Lives in a hole in the ground oop-

Very attached to Lover Moon One. He was the one that turned her into a demon, after all. Perhaps they were lovers...

Being a snake, his fangs secrete a poisonous venom. When injected, humans will die within days or minutes, depending on the dosage. There is a limit to how much he is able to produce at one time, though.

Should anyone so much as try and hurt Lower Moon One, he would probably rampage. Nobody, and I mean it when I say nobody, messes with her.

He has no qualms in killing whoever he wants. He doesn’t really feel anything for humans, so he doesn’t care who he kills and eats.

Lower Moon One : Mitsuri

Beautiful girl

She absolutely loves humans, but her beauty is an uncanny one. Even laying your eyes on her will leave you with an eerie feeling.

And yes, she loves humans, but her love is so aggressive. Oftentimes, she ends up killing those humans she’s decided to turn her attention to

It’s all on accident. She hates leaving a mess, though, so she has no choice but to eat them. Her strength precedes her, and even though it makes her very sad, she’ll make that mistake again no matter what.

She and Upper Moon Six are very attached to one another, but she’s less defensive about it than he is. He’s stiff and hard to get along with, but he melts in her presence

Mitsuri doesn’t exactly have a Blood Demon Art, per se. Her strength speaks for itself in volumes

She’s strong and agile, and although she loves people, she’s more than willing to defend herself when attacked. Approach with caution, if you have that chance

Lower Moon Two : Muichiro

Another quiet demon, much like Giyuu in nature

Lives where it’s dark; his eyes aren’t equipped to change depending on the light, and his pupils are always dilated to the farthest extent. Even the moon is a little bit too much for him

Because of the problems with his sight, his appearances are rather sparse. You’ll only ever fall prey to him if you wander into his domain, or if you’re out during a new moon

EXTREMELY volatile; under NO circumstances do you approach, especially on bright nights like the full moon. He won’t attack if you don’t get too close, or if he’s actively on the hunt. Your best option is to turn around and run as fast as you can, and pray he won’t try and chase you

If the mist sets in before you notice it, just hope he isn’t hungry. Once you’re already in the cloud, he can feel all the movements you make, and your chances of making it out start to plummet

Lower Moon Three : Shinobu

Despite only being Lower Moon Three, she’s as ruthless as they come, and enjoys the bloodshed twice as much.

Poison is the name of her game. She’s the fastest Demon Moon to date, to the point where catching her is almost impossible. It’d take a stroke of luck to find her cornered, and not even that promises you victory

She’s the most knowledgeable of human anatomy and how they function, so she knows exactly how to concoct her poisons to target different organs, depending on how she wants someone to die

When she’s hunting, she uses the poison that causes the least amount of pain - the one that’s going to kill the quickest. She’d rather not have any of her victims scream when she finally attacks

For taking on demon slayers, though, she uses the weakest one, that’ll draw out their pain the longest, until they go into shock and die, or they lose too much blood. She doesn’t care either way

Lower Moon Four : Kanao

If you find flowers in cold climates, like mountain peaks or valleys during winter, RUN. Run as fast as you can. She’s already there

Usually she doesn’t ever leave the mountains, and certain ranges are avoided like the plague for the amount of missing travelers that pass through them

Those flowers are a part of her Blood Demon Art - she spreads them out over several square miles, even covering the entire mountain with them. Over time, her flowers begin to release a deadly toxin, though it’s incredibly diluted and won’t care significant harm if you’re only in the vicinity for a short amount of time.

But naive or ignorant travelers who get caught walking through the flowers won’t have time to escape before the poison begins to fill their lungs and paralyze them, starting with their muscles and ending with their heart

After it’s all said and done, Kanao will come and collect the body, and after a few days or weeks, the flowers will be gone. It’s as if nothing ever happened

Lower Moon Five : Inosuke

FERAL MOTHERFUCKING RAT

The boar head is - it’s his - it’s his head

He’s quite ghastly. There’s nothing alluring or inviting about him. Even the bravest of fools, or the most naive of men, would turn tail and run for the HILLS at the sight of that beast

It’s not like it’ll matter, anyways. Once he has your scent, he’ll catch you, even if it takes the whole night

He likes Lower Moon Three a lot, and he isn’t sure why. It’s a feeling he can’t quite place

Very loud. Very loud

He’s the type of demon who will challenge a Hashira, so it’s a miracle he hasn’t been killed yet

Lower Moon Six : Zenitsu

Another loud one, but the crybaby type

He spends most of his days and nights hiding, so good luck finding him if you’re really trying to go after him

Even though he’s the weakest Demon Moon, he’s somehow the hardest to find on most occasions

The only time he’ll be out and about it during thunderstorms, where the sounds of his attacks will blend in with the surrounding ambience

He always gets nervous around pretty girls

The embarrassment usually means he kills them faster, or before they can ever set their eyes on him

He’s harmless most of the time, but if you get caught by him, you’re either hella unlucky or hella stupid

Demon Progenitor : Ubuyashiki Kagaya

Terrifying

Almost nothing is known about him, other than the fact that the Demon Moons would protect him with their lives

He can certainly take care of himself, though. It’s the entire reason he’s been around for thousands of years, and it’s the whole reason he hasn’t been found since then

You may think he’d be equally cruel to his Moons, but he treats them gently, and with respect. It’s what they deserve, for following him so blindly

The only time he truly ever gets upset is when one of his Moons is killed by a Hashira. You’ll never see fury like that ever again

Ubuyashiki isn’t the kind of demon who hungers quickly. He can go years without eating

But if he’s truly ravenous, nobody is safe

[barzyyy]

I’m hella in my feels. Break my heart.

one too many.

a/n: prepare yourselves for this one. TW: includes mention of death, alcohol/heavy drinking and self-depricating thoughts. it is heavy. please read at your own discretion. my dm’s are open if anyone needs to talk!

italics = flashback.

read this first, if you haven’t already.

————————————

mat could feel the alcohol meeting his stomach. when did he become this way? he knew that he was not in a condition to be drinking as much as he was. he hadn’t eaten in at least a day. somehow the simplest tasks have become the most difficult.

it didn’t help that it was the offseason. all of his teammates were off on vacation. the jealousy quickly turned into resentment. he deleted all of his social media apps because he couldn’t bear to see anyone else happy. he locked himself inside your once shared house, alone. what used to feel like home now felt unsafe. with every corner he turned, there was something that reminded him of you. lipstick on the counter, your shoes kicked off next to the couch, he left them all in the same spot, praying that this was all a dream and that you would come walking through the door again.

he couldn’t get himself to come to terms with reality.

he drunkely stumbled to the couch, mindlessly turning on the tv and surfing through the channels. he landed on a random channel because his thoughts were overtaking him once again.

mat dreamed of being a dad. you both used to talk about starting a family of your own. would your kids have mat’s hair and your eyes? which one of your personalities would they adopt? he wanted so badly to look through the glass at a game and see you standing on the other side with your baby. he wanted to raise a son and teach him all he knew about how to play. he wanted a little girl to put makeup on him and make him sing the songs of all of her favorite disney princesses.

now, he didn’t want a family at all. you were going perfect mother. no one could ever compete with you. and now that you’re gone, he promised himself that no one would ever take your place. sure, he could have kids with someone else, but they would never be the kids he would have had with you. he didn’t want it.

it was easier to put up a wall and block out the feelings. his grief of losing you was too much for him to handle. he would rather just push everything out, experiencing nothing rather than experiencing everything all at once. every time he thought of you, another part of him was taken away. he was a shell of who he once was.

things would have been different if he had went home to you. had he not gone out to the bar with his teammates after the game, you would have never been in the accident. there would have been no reason for you to go over to your friend’s house. now, instead of remembering the celebratory reason why he went out, his memory was plagued by the phone call he received as he got the worst news of his life.

mat could feel the alcohol meeting his stomach. who was he to turn down free alcohol? getting the game winning goal in game 7 made him feel like he was on top of the world. fans in the bar were covering mat’s tab, and he was partying with all of his teammates. out of the corner of his eye, he saw his phone light up with your caller i.d. and his favorite picture of the two of you. he picked it up and started walking through the mass of people to find a quieter place as he answered the call.

“babe, you won’t believe how many people are here! everyone is buying me drinks and-“

“hello?”

the manly voice was unrecognizable. mat stopped in his tracks.

“who is this?” he questioned.

“this is tom haltford, i’m a paramedic with the long island fire department. do you have a relationship with (y/n) barzal?” he asked.

he immediately sobered up. “she’s my wife, what is going on?” his heart was beating out of his chest.

“sir, i regret to inform you that your wife was in an accident. she was in a head-on collision with an impaired driver. she is currently being transported to nassau university medical center. do you have a safe way of getting there? i can send a police officer to pick you up.”

mat could only muster one sentence.

“is she alive?”

silence.

“i am sending an officer to your location. i am so sorry.”

what brought him out of his trance was the feeling of tears hitting his hand. he had not realized that he was crying, but did nothing to stop the onset of emotions that were to come. he buried his head in his hands, taking in the weight of the fact that you would have still been here had he not decided to go out. his shoulders heaved, but he stayed silent. he sobbed for a half an hour straight.

silence was something mat was becoming all too familiar with. he could no longer listen to the radio because every song he heard remided him of you. he didn’t dare go outside, because he couldn’t stop the jealousy that arose when he saw a couple out together. the best he could do was stay at home. his interaction was limited. when he did eat, all he did was get it delivered. even then, his options were scarce because he didn’t want to eat anything that felt significant to your relationship. he no longer ordered take out from your shared favorite thai restaurant down the street. he avoided anything that remided himself of you.

he would have teammates, family and friends text him every now and again to check in. he made it a point at your funeral to promise that he would reach out if he needed help. deep down, he knew from the beginning that those promises were as hollow as the newly-formed void in his heart.

maybe the irony of it all was that what killed you was the same thing he was using to self medicate. over time, one beer turned into to three, then six. he felt as if it was his only escape - alcohol only solidifed the numbness that he had been feeling. but tonight, he knew that he had gone overboard. there were freshly-chugged beer bottles on the table, and the only thing stopping him from taking some of your sleeping pills was his hope that you would come back for them. in addition to the beer, he was down a glass and a half of wine when his body finally began to reject the liquid. he tried to run to the bathroom, but the closest place he could make it was the kitchen sink. his stomach uncontrollably emptied itself, and he was left gasping in between his heaves. when he was done, he ran his hands under the sink and put water on his face. pulling the kitchen towel from the oven to wipe off his face, he looked up and his eyes were met with the picture on your counter from the wedding.

he was in immediate tears as he saw you walking down the aisle. your dress perfectly hugged your curves and your smile had been the biggest he’d ever seen. he felt a soft nudge from behind him.

”stay strong man, stay strong.” beau whispered, trying to help mat preserve any ounce that was left of his ego.

“bro, i can’t.” he whispered back, tears running down his face. at that point, you began to cry, and then the whole room was crying.

you both struggled through the tears to read eachother your vows. you were so impressed with how heartfelt his were.

“you helped me learn who i was outside of hockey, and i still fall in love with you every single day. ...and you’re a smokin’ 10, too. so that’s a plus.”

the after party was absolutely insane. you danced and drank the night away with your closest family and friends. you were talking to your best friend when mat came stumbling over to you, hugged you and said “can you believe we’re fucking MARRIED BABE?”

that was it. he couldn’t give up on life anymore. who he was becoming was scaring him. he knew that this is not what you would want. with a shaking hand and a breaking heart, he haphazardly picked up his phone and dialed the first number he could think of. there was an answer halfway through the first ring.

“hey man, you all good?”

inbetween sobs, his words slurred together. “beau, i need you.”

Yo,, imagine Barbatos getting tackle-hugged by Diavolo because Diavolo keeps forgetting he's huge, and then when the exchange program comes around and he basically adopts Luke he'll be like "oh, well this kid is shorter, that probably won't be a problem later.

But then Luke grows up and the exact same thing happens. Luckily Barbatos is hella strong and doesn't mind but he thinks it's funny that it happened with two separate people

I feel like GrownUp! Luke would be so soft and comfortable with the demons!!!

He'd try and make Mammon a good luck charm for whenever he's gambling (IT ACTUALLY WORKS?), making Lucifer some tea whenever he overworks, giving Leviathan some Celestial Realm games that were forbidden, finding books similar to the human equivalent of Song of Achilles but Luke ends up not crying (Satan does), giving Asmodeus the most amazing makeup from Celestial Realm, hugging Beel from behind and playfully demand him to carry Luke, give Belphie a soft ass blanket and pillow, give Diavolo the cutest plushie he could find and just making Barbatos the most amazing pastry

(he also gives the brothers EACH one thing that belonged to Lilith, all of them stashed in the forbidden parts of the Celestial Realm. Satan was the only one lost but it was fine. He felt like Lilith would've liked him)

Kofi long ask commission by @sunsetslasher54 !

They asked: 

“ Can I please get Ap, wolf, big mama and the trio with a goth s/o who's like 5 foot and tries to look intimidating with their clothes, makeup, and large platforms? Thank youuu ”

AP thinks it’s cute, like the way a small dog barks their heads out to other big dogs who could very much murder them on sight. The thing is, this small dog also has an alien, mutant dog companion who actually instills the fear here. Either way,  AP also thinks it's cute because he likes you and he sleeps very well at night knowing he murdered every and anyone who ever so much looked at you funny. 

Wolf thinks it's almost funny, almost. Wolf is intimidating by nature, his achievements, the way he walks and just him alone already deliver the message very clearly. He is not to be fucked with and everyone knows it, so when you’re seen by his side, the message really does set itself in. The baddest of couples.

Big Mama will beat anyone who doesn’t think you’re intimidating, because you are! You are her precious little intimidating human and nothing or anyone will ever doubt it! If you make up, clothes and platforms don’t instill instant fear into the hearts of men, the shuriken she gave you for your birthday sure will, so no worries there.

With Berserker it is fairly obvious that you are intimidating as he’s only seen with the utmost intimidating people, of course. He’s a criminal, and a very wanted one, so you’re with him? Intimidating. You’re his friend? Very intimidating. You’re his m a t e? Prime intimidation.  No one tells you otherwise because they very much like living, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Tracker. Tracker thinks the way you dress is hella cute, he himself never really saw a human dress like this and he loves it a lot, the leather and the spikes really call to him. Will make you tusk earrings for maximum intimidation along with a hound puppy at first. Don’t worry, it will grow into a merciless killing machine very soon.

Falconer. Falconer is more of the silent intimidation style, he doesn’t really need words to make someone shit their pants and you absolutely learn this with him. Ever heard of teenage girl glare? Prepare for Yautja death stare, works just as good, if not more. Falconer’s side eye game is also mad strong. All in all, you both make people feel chills down their spines when you walk by. Perfect.

The queens X Anxiety

Here’s that post I mentioned!!! I got half way through it and fell asleep the first time i tried to write it lmao,

Catalina! V stuck in her head I think. She’d definitely have a more generalized anxiety and most of it would be based on her insecurities. Human interaction fucking baffles her now. It’s worse bc she used to excel in saying the right thing at the right times before. She always is over analyzing things and second guessing herself. But she puts out a front like she’s got it all together and is adapting fine, so she’s also anxious that someone is going to see that she’s a mess. She also low key hates flashing lights and loud noises and it takes a lot out of her the first time she goes to the bustling city in modern day. She’s mostly a homebody bc of these anxieties which makes people think she’s withdrawn and mature, but in reality she’s just too nervous most of the time to have fun. Also doesn’t like fire, so the house has an electric stove. Doesn’t like the ocean or planes. Doesn’t mind public speaking when it’s people who don’t know her but if it’s a group of people who she speaks to all the time she freaks out.

Anne B! Social anxiety. She thinks everyone hates her and does not trust herself to read the room. Her nervous habits are different from Catalinas bc she nervous rambles. Large groups of people kinda make her jittery so she uses that energy to buzz around the room and interact. She doesn’t stop fidgeting. Also is very squeamish. She hates blood and guts in movies, doesn’t like needles, can’t hear about anything related to sharp objects or even broken bones. She covers her scar bc she can’t look at it or think about it without vomiting and having an anxiety attack. Will often talk over things that scare her too. Some other fears are electric scooters, (I know that goes against some peoples hcs but I don’t think she’d like them.) knives for obvious reasons and cats bc one attacked her and made her bleed and she hates blood.

Jane! Suuuuper detached anxiety. She doesn’t even register that she’s having an attack until shes shaking so bad she can’t hold her phone. The denial is real in this one bc she thinks she needs to be strong and not weak. She doesn’t think the city affects her but she definitely walks faster when out. She’s definitely afraid of being manipulated. Also afraid that she’s going to make a bad decision and get someone killed. (Again) Doesn’t like thriller movies or the zodiac signs. Thriller movies make her anxious in a not fun way and she’s freaked out that the stars might decide that people act a certain way. Also low key afraid of anyone the same zodiac as her own or Henry’s. Lastly she hates buffets bc they don’t seem sanitary and she died bc of unsanitary conditions.

Anna! Self conscious to the point that she is constantly trying to make herself better. She works out, she does her makeup, she owns a shit ton of self help books, her diet is Instagram model worthy. Constantly trying to grow and make herself a better person. Her anxiety is that people are going to see her and think she’s not worth their time. Also hates moving vehicles. To her, cars are demon death traps and buses are the same if not worse bc they’re dirtier and bigger. Her worst fear is to be in a car accident so she also has driving anxiety and cannot pass her drivers license test.

Kitty! Oooh boy this one is full of anxiety. She gets hella snarky when she’s anxious so she comes off as rude a lot of the time. The queens take it and laugh when she gets sarcastic but strangers usually won’t want to talk to her again. It’s a defense mechanism after a while bc she is afraid of men and men usually don’t want a rude girl. She will cry if told to walk to the store alone but also is afraid of getting too close to anyone. Other things she’s afraid of include large birds, knives (although she’s not as squeamish as Anne), global warming, the Bermuda Triangle Freaks Her Out, and school settings give her general anxiety. She only feels comfortable learning again when she gets the opportunity to do online school from home.

Cathy! Def afraid of conflict so is super non confrontational. Almost to a sad degree though bc sometimes she should just say she’s uncomfortable and she never advocates for what she wants. Has anxiety about pretty much everything about the modern day. She SO curious but in her experience curiosity gets you beat into the ground so every time she’s around something new and she feels the need to learn more she freaks herself out. Kitty seeks her out to help her learn how to use the online schooling and Cathy panicked but couldn’t say no bc kitty hates being taught things so it was an honor to be asked. She is afraid of dogs, competitive games, and being left alone for too long. (Alone in her room is fine because she knows other people are home, alone in the world is more what that’s about)

I'm too cute to be single tbh but men are trash ‪¯\_(ツ)_/¯‬

[the-slasher-files]

For the Andrei matchup!!!

I'm pretty short!! 5'2!! I've got waist-length black, wavy/curly hair with dark brown eyes. Uuuuh Not sure what else to put for looks. I'm blind as hell lmao!!! I've got glasses. My everyday makeup tends to be somewhere in-between neutral and dark/vampy. My sense of fashion changes all the time, but I've been wearing a lot of dark clothing recently. I'm also a WHORE for earrings!! Love a good pair of earrings. Sparkly diamond-esque ones are my favorite! Tl;dr Think of my visual vibes as akin to the photos that come up if you google "dark paradise aesthetic" with a hint of retro.

I'm hella passionate, empathetic, and I love making people gifts. Like art and stuff!! Speaking of art, my hobbies are drawing, writing, watching movies, skiing, roller skating, playing video games, etc. I love "daring" sports and activities as well, and I'm always willing to try out more. I also love getting myself out in nature, whether it be skiing, hiking, going to the beach, etc. Road trips are always a treat!

I'm pretty loving with my preferred love languages being gift-giving (giving, not receiving LMAO) and touch. I'm not too versed in the world of zodiacs, but I know my main one is Aries! ASDFGFDS true to being an Aries, I'm definitely snarky and a little fiery. Definitely got myself a sharp tongue; love a good bit of banter!

🔪POTENTIAL S/O🔪

So since we've talked a bit and I constantly look at your blog I already knew this answer lol.

At first, Andrei will notice your height and the size kink drives him towards you and he immediately knows he's gonna fuck you, plus your aesthetic interests him, you're different from what he is used to. When you guys are talking he likes that you are a fiery Aries, it gives him some challenge, he loves strong women and he is an Aries too. Now because you are an adventurous person, at first he might wanna hunt you around town but quickly he brings you to his home, he doesn't know why exactly but he needs you around. It might be your strong energy or love language, it could be your passion and empathy, Andrei doesn't know but he knows he wants more and more every day. With the things you've listed that you like to do, I can 100% see you guys having a blast together, just him letting his guard down and being himself while doing fun adventures

Obey Me!

RANKED

My new ranked list of the Obey character since the undatables are now dateable. ~ please remember that these are just my personal preferences, feelings, and reasons.

Diavolo - honestly just cute, hot, buff, big tiddy prince. I like how playful he is, but also knowing that he has a serious side. I also just love his character development. That even though he basically kidnapped me (as MC) at first, he was always protective and willing to learn.

Beel - once again hot, buff tiddy man with a heart of gold. His personality may be a bit dry sometimes, but he's come a long way after what he's been through. Even if he did slip up in S2. Plus I like a man who I can have snacks with and honestly, I feel like if it was pouring rain outside and MC was like "Beel, I want sweets from Madam Screams." He would go out and get it. Then it's just the perfect excuse to snick snack then cuddle and frick frack to warm him up.

Belphie - All the cuddles and naps. I AM Belphie. I like sleep, I like cuddles, I like kisses, I like sleepy sex, and I can hella spiteful but innocently cute at the same time. I'm not as tunnel visioned as he can be though I can be very vengeful. I'd throw away his mustard ass yellow pants though. Buy him some new ones.

Mammon - he... he's so soft and caring- it 95% overrides his dumb ideas. Get him alone and he's comfy with you, it just kisses and praising each other all night. Also very protective and strong with he has to be. He just has more energy than I ever would and I cant always keep up with him.

Satan - once again, can be super soft plus he loves cats. I love cats. He can be romantic, mischievous, and resourceful. I just feel like he is way too good for me and way outta my league. :') his eyes are so pretty and I just wanna stare into them.

Barbatos - again, way out of my league, but he seems like he can be sweet albeit strict. A side from one of the Devilgram stories, I don't know how he is with MC yet. And I dont like strictness or formalities. Those things literally make up this man's entire existence. So he's on the fence for now.

Solomon - way super shady at first and likes to use people which, of course, made me hella suspicious. Also pretty oblivious with his bad cooking. He could be my best friend, but not a lover for me. Once again, on the fence. I need more content with him in the up coming chapters if I'm going to move him up on the list.

Simeon - I'm so back and forth with this man. Like he's super cute, handsome and sweet, but can also be a mean bitch. I personally didnt have a good experience with christianity so there's this bitterness that I automatically had with him (and Luke). Hes just so damn pretty though...

Levi - my anime fix! My nerd friend who I can always play games with! He's just... too into it? Like he's a little too high and mighty with the anime stuff for my taste, and the constant self degradation he does is too much for me.

Asmo - absolutely nothing in common with Asmo. I care nothing for looks or makeup or fashion so we would have no common ground, but I'd let him pamper me and pick out clothes for me if he wanted to. Plus I see him as a bottom and I'm a bottom, and I cant see it working.

Lucifer - I would have hate sex with this man. I want to hate his guts to the bottom layer of hell and back, but damn, I feel sorry for him. Self care is a thing. I'd be a big pain in his ass bc I would never listen to him, but also try to be genuinely nice at times, and like bring him a drink or snack to his study. He's also such a dom that I'd let him have at me. I guess let him think he's punishing me for all the shit I would put him through. Am Pres of the Anti Lucifer Club. He does really care for his family though in some dumb ways.

Luke - a holier than thou child who is very, very annoying in my book. Not someone I'd want to hang out with. He doesnt have many friends and that's why. He is also yappy chihuahua to me. But he is still smol child so I instinctively must protect.

[crushzone]

Nin! I’ve been seeing this around recently, but I would love to see you ship your moots if it is ok! ♥️

Hahaha hey there, sure thing! It’s so difficult to be bias free because I know my moots’ crushes, but I shall do my best! I’ll mostly likely pair you guys with someone outside of your crush, just to introduce some new potential partner to your life ;). If I had left anyone out by accident, I am SO sorry!!

✨ Shipping my Moots ✨

@scorpiosanssexy

Sugawara Koshi - Lil sis, I am so sorry it is not Kei. I think Suga is absolutely hilarious and a sweetheart, I’m sure he loves it when you roast him here and there because he’d do the same right back at you. He’s also such a sassy man, so if sassiness is something you enjoy (*cough* like Kei’s, except he’s not a meanie 😠), he’s got it! If you do not know how to cook, neither does he, but you will get to suffer together. He’s also a teacher (which I know is also your thing), so let’s pretend he had to read so many books that he has to eventually get glasses! Will 100% dance real silly with you when you’re both tipsy, but please try to calm him down when he keeps getting ID’ed whenever he tries to buy booze, he’s got that forever cute baby face.

Look, I photoshopped him in glasses for u. ☝🏼

@ceo-of-daichi

Takeru Nakashima - Tbh, it was really difficult not to go with Daichi for this one. I know Takeru may not suit your appearance preferences, but I think you guys would be a very adorable pair! He is very family oriented, had grown up with a bunch of siblings, is a team captain (i know u like captains 😉), and seems like a sweet guy in general. So he will 100% be a fun pal to joke around with, but he’s also really responsible and will take care of u on your night outs. I can see you with his little family cheer squad, they are all just in love with you and consider you a part of their family. 10/10 husband material with that A+ domestic lifestyle.

@honey-makki

Saeko Tanaka - I shall pair you, my queen, with my other queen, Saeko. 👑 Together, you are unstoppable, and just the sight of you both hanging out together would make me run away because I tend to do that whenever I am near anyone attractive. Imagine Saeko picking you up on her motorbike just to go grab some dinner downtown together. All the jokes you’d share, how loudly you would laugh with each other, regardless if whether you are in a public or private place!! She’d probably help you proof read your fics and brainstorm any spicy scenarios with you too! Bet she loveees having you lay on her chest as she strokes your hair, alternatively, she also loves being your big spoon. 🥺

@heauxzenji

Kuroo Tetsuro - My other queen, I shall offer you my nerdy king, Kuroo. 👑 Idk man, appearance-wise alone, I already think you’d both be such a beautiful pair. You two are definitely the type of couples on Tik Tok (or whichever apps people use now a days LOL 👵🏻) with a bunch of “relationship goals” in the comments. He’d be a lot of fun to joke around with, will take great care of you, loves to smack your booty (respectfully) because he knows you are absolutely beautiful, and will call you the cutest nicknames. He also secretly reads your spicy fics without telling you, and will maybe try out a new thing or two from it the next time u guys baaaaang. 💥Spiciness aside, he cherishes all your quiet moments, just sitting next to each other as you sip on some tea, your books in hand as you lean shoulder to shoulder against one another.

@tedwardos

Azumane Asahi - idk, I think you both would be incredibly adorable! He is basically kind of like Yams but with a whee bit more softness. He absolutely loves to cuddle, play video games with you (but please go easy on him, he’s a little scared of certain games), and learn new things (e.g. playing DnD for the first time). Tbh, I think he would be great at DnD because he enjoys the imagination and character design aspect, bet his characters are always the best dressed one. Will help style your hair, cook you breakfast, give you shoulder massages, and just spoiling you in general, as long as you hold him close and tell him you love him every now and then to keep him well assured. You’ll never get cold during winter, he’s basically a human furnace who always make sure your feet are covered by the blanket when you cuddle on the couch.

@nonexistent-social-life-mainacct

Akaashi Keiji - I genuinely think this would be a wonderful match. Firstly, he is a wonderful listener, so he’s there for you to come home to after a tough day at work. If it is not something he can actually help you with, he will do his best to cheer you back up after you had gotten everything off your chest. Secondly, look at this 👇🏼

Girl, he will PROTECT you from all those mysterious bruises that tend to appear on your legs haha. Lastly, I know that when he loves someone, he will do all these adorably thoughtful things for you: like massaging your feet, leaving you cute post-it notes before he leaves for work and buying you flowers randomly. I just, I just want the best for u and I KNOW Akaashi will not disappoint at all.

@mer92

Tadashi Yamaguchi - ok hear me out! Baby boy had been crushing on you from a distance for the longest time, he just absolutely admires how you are so hardworking and passionate towards your dream job. He sees how much you care for your friends and he’d always wished he could be a part of your group too. Eventually, when you are both together, he is a wonderful listener, will go out of his ways to spoil you just to see you smile again. He will give you shoulder massages when you are being too tense, and if anyone gets in the way of achieving your goals, he will step up and defend you. Will also buy extra onigiris from Onigiri Miya and bring them to u for lunch, just to make sure that you don’t accidentally skip any meals because you’re too laser focused on your studies! Speaking of studying, he loves studying with you, and is actually a wonderful work buddy. (Always sneaks a glance at your adorable concentrated face)

@danibby

Kotaro Bokuto - Bokuto ADORES you with all his heart omg. When he catches you dancing or choreographing, he will straight up sway or beg you to teach him some moves, before proceeding to absolutely crush it. If he sees you trying out or applying some makeup/skincare products, he will ask you if he could watch or play with it too. Basically, he loves you so much, he just wants to understand and be a part of what you are doing, while he’ll also do the same where he’d teach you the little things he loves to do (will probably try to get you to play volleyball with him ahah). Is fantastic at cheering you up when you are not feeling too good about yourself, and will tickle fight you until you smile for him. Speaking of tickle fights, initiate it at your risk, because he is hella strong, he’ll pin you down or pick you up really easily to his advantage. BIGGEST HYPE MAN, you can walk out, wearing a trash bag and he would still be 😻😻😻.

@shhhlikeme

Aran Ojiro - I know I’m not being too original with this pairing because you actually crush on him to begin with, but you two are just perfect for each other tbh (was going to pick Toshi at first, but thought Aran would be a better fit)! Firstly, you are both absolutely S T U N N I N G ✨, I would be SO intimidated to come anywhere near this power couple. Secondly, you’re both so diligent, kind, and smart, everyone looks up to the two of you, wishing they could be you (Keep wishing, peeps 💅🏼) . Lastly, he seems like an absolute sweetheart, loveeeeees to spoil you with random hugs, kisses, and gifts, and will joke around with you a lot. He’ll find any way he could show you off to his friends, and they’d all be so jealous. It is nice to know that you can always lean on him if you ever have to, and he knows he could do the same with you. Bet your family absolutely LOVES him too, 100% the kind of guy you would want to bring home.

@bjbex​

Yu Nishinoya - Noya is IN LOVE with you, he thinks you are freaking beautiful, is a hottie, and basically his queen. He’d keep crushing on you until you finally give him a chance. When you are together, he’d do anything to please you, ultimately, he just wants to see you smile and happy all the time. He’ll crack some jokes and be a little goof just to cheer you up! Also wants you to freaking DOMINATE him hahahah, trusts you completely, please do as you would like, he’s all yours. Loves getting his lil booty smacked and pegged, but is also always down to pleasure you. Just grab him by his hair (loves getting his hair pulled) and put him in any position you want him.

Will pull some “accident” like this often, so please prepare yourself. Will travel the world with you and take a ton of photos, then proceed to set photos of you as his wallpaper/lock screen on every device.☝🏼

@dymphnasprose

Tendou Satori - Tendou ADORES YOU, for real, he freaking ADORES you (But I adore you more, so he can back down 🤚). He loves to be your little spoon (will literary purr if you give him head rubs), boasts about you to his friends all the time (especially to Toshi), likes to endearingly tease you a lot, and will cook you some nice food all the time (he probably went to culinary school, after all, to become a chocolatier). The first thing he does when he gets back home from work? Hunt you down and immediately cling on to you as he pepper kisses all over your face with that oWo face, if ya know what I mean. Also LOVES to get freaky, this man is flexible, he just loves being intimate with ya, so tell him what you want to do and he will most likely be down to at least give it a shot. ;) Also loves to randomly buy you some cute clothes or jewelry you had been eyeing, he doesn’t do it often, but he’ll spoil you with it here and there when he can. Loves to sing random songs for you, “Dymph-nuhhh, Dymph-nuhhh, my darlin, Dymph-nuhhh~~”

@pleasantanathema

Akiteru Tsukishima - Let me start off by saying that I am absolutely in love with Akiteru, and because I love him so much, I shall pair him with you! Lauren, I am in love with you from the very first moment you’ve hit me up, I feel like our vibes match and because I feel the same way with Akiteru, I believe he would really vibe with you too! He’s an absolute sweetheart who will go out of his ways just to make you happy, you’d both spend hours chit chatting about the most random things, just giggling constantly, and before you know it, it’s already really late at night. He LOVES taking photos of you, and his phone is filled with photos of the two of you. Kei doesn’t really care much about you, but Akiteru will keep bringing you up in conversations with him anyway because he’s just extremely grateful to have you in his life.

@afictionalwhore

Ittetsu Takeda - Listen, as much as I believe Keishin is the perfect man for us you, Takeda is another husband material, adorable man who would also be just as perfect.

LOOK AT HIM REALIZING THAT HE IS IN LOVE WITH U. Also Keishin looking like a snacc right next to him, but this post is not about him mmkay?

Takeda is so weak for you, he’ll spoil you rotten where he can, and his affection bank is unlimited, will constantly remind you that he loves you. He’s also really shy, so sometimes, he’ll try to be “sexy” and initiate something, only to stutter and blush terribly when he attempts to execute it, so please be kind HAHA (I think find that really endearing tbh). Fully understands how tiring it can be to work with children, he is also a teacher after all, so at the end of each day, you’ll both take warm baths together, cuddling as you laugh about all the silly things your kids had done today. Sometimes he will help substitute for you too, if you ever need to take a day off.

I’m very proud of this list, ngl, I stand by my ships 😉

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

Hi! As someone who’s literary opinion I really trust, I was surprised that you’re a twilight fan? I know almost nothing except commen knowledge things about that series, and I always assumed it was actually bad/un-feminist. What is it that you like so much that others seem to miss? I’m just genuinely curious about your take on the hate it always seems to get vs. it’s actual quality. I’m not gonna judge bc animorphs is also one of those books where you see it and assume it’s bad.

In over 14 years of loving this series, I’m not sure anyone has ever asked me why I enjoy it instead of simply trying to convince me that I’m wrong to do so.  So thank you for that.

First and foremost, I love the Twilight saga because of the vivid detail in Stephenie Meyer’s writing style.  The descriptions are so lush and dense with sensory information that you can practically bite down on them as you read.  Bella and Jacob aren’t just sitting on the beach; they’re sitting on a gnarled log of driftwood, worn smooth at the top from where so many Quileute teens have sat upon it during bonfires but still uneven enough to rock on its branches when Bella suddenly stands to rage at her own mortality.  Meyer describes that log in Twilight, so tangibly and with such economy of detail, that we recognize it immediately when Bella and Jacob return to that spot in Eclipse.  I’ve always disliked the movies, because I’ve always felt that the best part of Meyer’s writing simply did not translate well to the screen.

Secondly, I love the feminism.

Okay, let’s take a quick pause to let everyone gasp and clutch their pearls over me calling Twilight a feminist work.  I will address the criticisms later.  For now, please just hear me out.

Twilight strikes me as a premier example of what Hélène Cixous means when she calls for “women’s writing,” or writing for women, about women, by women, with a strong focus on the concerns and strengths and desires of womanhood.  This is a series about building and maintaining close relationships, both romantic and platonic.  It celebrates beauty, and love, and care.  Bella moves to Forks because she recognizes that her dad is lonely while her mom is quite the opposite, torn between family priorities.  She doesn’t simply subsume her interests to those of other people, but instead actively chooses how and when and where to express her love for her birth family and her found families.  Most of the other major decisions throughout the story — Alice “adopting” Bella, Carlisle moving the family to Alaska, Jacob becoming werewolf beta, the Cullens going up against the Volturi, etc. — are motivated by care and devotion for one’s family and friends.  Even the selfish or morally ambiguous character choices are shown to be motivated by love.  Rosalie tells Edward that Bella died because she genuinely thinks it’ll help him move on.  Victoria creates an army that nearly destroys Forks because she’s avenging James.  Alice abandons Bella and the others before the final battle because if she can’t save her entire family, then she’ll settle for saving her lover before letting him die in vain.

Not only is there a striking concern with love and care, but there’s also a strong commitment to avoiding violence.  Bella’s eventual vamp-superpower proves to be preventing violence and protecting others, an awesome character decision that I’d argue gets set up as early as the first book.  She lives in a violent world — this is a YA SF story, after all — but she has the power to suppress violence and create peace, both in herself and others.  I was already sick of “power = ability to inflict damage” in YA stories well before I knew the word “patriarchy.”  Twilight was one of the first books to convey to me that power could be refusing to do harm in spite of hunger or anger, that power could be shielding ones’ family, that power could be about building enough friendships and alliances to have an army at one’s back when facing an enemy too strong to take on alone.

Closely connected to all of that love and care, I love how much Twilight is about navigating teenage girlhood.  Is it empowering, intersectional, or all-inclusive?  Hell no.  Does it still dare to suggest that a completely ordinary teenage girl could have valid concerns about the world?  Yep.  The main conflict of the story, as Stephen King so derisively explained, is about the romantic entanglements of a teenage girl, and the book therefore has no literary merit.  (To quote my dad’s response: “Bold words from the guy who inflicted Firestarter on the world.”)

There is, indeed, a lot of romance in Twilight.  There are a lot of clothes.  Alice and Rosalie especially spend a lot of time on makeup, and hair, and choosing the prettiest cars and houses.  Twilight embraces all the stereotypically “girly” concerns of adolescence, and makes no effort to apologize for or condemn them.  Bella isn’t particularly good at performing them — she likes but doesn’t excel at shopping, fiercely defends her ugly car as ugly, hobbles through prom on crutches — but she can still enjoy the feeling of being pretty in a sparkly dress while dancing with her sparkly boyfriend.  And Twilight, like Animorphs with Cassie, takes the daring step of treating that feeling as valid.

Speaking of sparkles, I love the commitment to the fantasy concept in Twilight, including the myriad mundanities that Meyer brings with that commitment.  If you have super-speed, why not use it to play extreme baseball?  If you’re a mindreader with a clairvoyant sister, why wouldn’t you two play mental chess games?  I couldn’t tell you, after seven seasons of Buffy or eight of Vampire Diaries, what Spike or Damien or Angel or Stefan does all day when not brooding or lurking in the bushes to creep on human women.  I can tell you what the Cullens get up to.  Emmett and Rosalie work on their cars, usually by holding them overhead one-handed.  Carlisle and Alice read plays, and sometimes talk the whole family into home Shakespeare productions.  Edward and Carlisle debate theology, Emmett and Jasper have dumb athletic competitions, Edward and Esme play music, Alice manipulates stock markets, the twins go shopping online, etcetera.  The Cullens feel real, feel like the vampires next door, in a way that Louis and Lestat simply do not.

To get to the elephant in the room — I just described Twilight as a feminist text! — let’s talk about the other thing the Cullens do for fun: they have sex.  Weird sex.  Kinky furniture-breaking sex.  Sex that Emmett (who would know) compares to bear-wrestling.  These books suck with regards to queer representation, but they are sex-positive.  They feature an old-school Anglican protagonist offering his daughter-in-law a medical abortion.  They treat Edward’s desire for sex only within marriage and Alice’s desire for sex outside of marriage as both being valid.  Like I said, not groundbreaking, even by the standards of 2005, but still more than most teen novels do even today.

There’s a passage from Breaking Dawn that people love to pull out of context as “everything wrong with Twilight in two paragraphs” because it describes Bella waking up the morning after sex with bruises on her arms.  That moment is shocking out of context, to be sure — but in context, it’s the end result of an in-depth consent negotiation that lasts four books.  Bella says that she’d like to become a vampire.  Edward says okay, but only if she spends a few more years living as a human and considering that choice.  Bella says okay, but only if Edward, not Carlisle, becomes the one to turn her.  Edward says they can use his venom, but that Carlisle, who’s an MD, really needs to supervise the process.  Bella doesn’t love the idea of Edward’s stepdad cockblocking what’s supposed to be an intimate moment, and so agrees only on the grounds that she gets to have sex with Edward as a human first.  Edward’s hella Catholic, so he requests that they get married first.  Bella’s super horny, so she demands that the wedding happen within six months.  Edward says that he might hurt her during sex, and Bella says that she wants a little hurt during sex.  They marry.  They bang.  During the banging, Edward makes every effort to be controlled and courteous and gentile, while Bella goes wild and crazy.  The next morning, she has bruises and he does not.  Edward apologizes, but Bella’s actually really into it.  She spends a while admiring her sexy vamp-marked self in the mirror, touches the bruises many times, and reminds us yet again that Bella Swan’s whole M.O. is being a monsterfucker.  Her kink is not my kink, and that’s okay.

To be clear, I think there are other aspects of the romance that get criticized for good reason.  Edward does not negotiate with Bella before sneaking into her room to watch her sleep, and he does make unacceptable use of their power differences when he thinks she’s in danger of being mauled by werewolves.  The text condemns Jacob’s “don’t wanna die a virgin” ploy to manipulate a kiss out of Bella, but not the wider conceit of all the male characters as possessing uncontrollable urges.  Bella’s struggles to adjust to a new town feel very feminine and realistic; her amused tolerance of Jacob’s and Mike’s sexual harassment as the price for their friendship does not.  Werewolf imprinting might be mostly platonic, but that doesn’t make it okay for Meyer to depict it as a form of soulmate bonding that happens with child characters. Those are good points, all around.  I just wish that most of them didn’t come up in the context of post-hoc rationalizations for loathing the femininity of a feminine text.

I’m not calling Twilight an unproblematic series.  I’m saying that it gets (rightly!) criticized for appropriating Quileute culture, while Buffy’s total absence of main characters of color and blatant anti-Romani racism are (wrongly!) not remarked upon. I'm saying that I’ve been told I’m a misogynist for liking Twilight but not for liking James Bond.  I’m saying that there’s a reason people tend to go “oh, that makes so much sense!” when I let them in on the fact that reactive hatred for “Twitards” started and spread on 4Chan, later home of Gamergate and incel culture.  I’m saying that Twilight depicts problematic relationship dynamics as sexy — but then so do Vampire Academy, Blue Bloods, Supernatural, Vladimir Tod, and Vampire Diaries.  All of which take the time to stop and thumb their noses at Twilight, smug in the superiority of having vampires that fly rather than vampires that sparkle, and for thoroughly condemning teenage girls for being girly while continuing to show men inflicting violence on them.

After all, as Erin May Kelly puts it: “we live in a world taught to hate everything to do with little girls.  We hate the books they read and the bands they like.  Is there anything the world makes fun of more than One Direction and Twilight?”  No one has ever called me a misogynist for liking the MCU, in spite of less than a third of its movies even managing to clear the low-low bar of the Bechdel test.  Because people are still allowed to like Harry Potter in spite of its racism, or Lord of the Rings despite its imperialism.  Because hatred for Twilight was never about its very real sexism, or the genuinely silly sparkle-vampires, until it had to justify itself as something other than hate for everything that teenage girls have ever dared openly love.

I enjoy the novels, and I enjoy the fan fiction that tries to fix some of the problems with the novels.  I appreciate the extent to which Meyer has elevated fan culture, and made an effort to acknowledge her own past mistakes.  I would love to be able to talk about my love for the series as a flawed but beautiful work of literature, but for now I’ll settle for asking that the world just let me enjoy it in peace.

i wanna write some the stranded x reader now

jack would be that soft chaotic b, he just wants to be newr you so he clings alot but not to the point its overbearing, maybe likes to knit whilst listening to soft tunes or dancing randomly with you in the rain, down at the beach, thru a forest, in the moonlight. he is a romantic /srs. HED PROLLY WRITE U SOEMTHI

krit would be hella goofy fr, prolly taking off his glasses and putting them on your face incorrectly, sticking his tongue out to the side like hes working on a masterpiece. he’ll bug you sm but also be hella quiet abt it like poke poke with a pout lmao just give him attention :(

nat and gun would take you out alot just to spoil you even if you want to spoil them, i can imagine theyd take you to places that have games and shit to either beat you at them and boast abt it 24/7 then bring it up at moments that had NOTHING to do with it or you beat them and they start balling on for you to but snacks and shit to make them stfu

if you get with ice and hes more calmer you both would probably sit on the beach or near a lake, him leaning into you whilst you rub his chest soothingly whilst your other hand tightly but comfortably gripping his, smiles plastered on both of your faces

arisa would probably be done with your shit no matter if you go from the radar of chaotic to quiet, she’ll be done with you somehow. both of you just relax and the most random places, blasting out music while either one of you stare at eachother singing their hearts out with the gaze of “omg youre annoying (affectionate)”

you would always somehow either have your arms wrapped around may or the other way around, whenever shed past you shed just have some form of contact with a soft smile. if you play the bass or guitar you would softly hum whilst playing the instrument as she gained confidence to sing with you. this would mostly happen at night on a rooftop infront of the stars

omg whether or not you wear makeup ying is putting some on you, maybe dressup in stupid outfits or cosplay as themes just to hangout, making you drink random “in toxins”. girl is pretty strong i can see her picking you up (no matter what ur body is like) and yeeting you both into a pool, giggling crazy. plus if you also play an instrument shed wanna learn

you and joey just adventure to random places, patting and feedings cats as he tries to stop you from wanting to adopt the poor animals. i can see him bringing you to a karaoke bar or any place that can just have the two of you enjoying yourselfs peacefully, not a movie theater though. i could see him as a photogenic guy so hed prolly take aesthetic pictures of you to eating, brushing your teeth to walking in the could outside or standing in the rain

kraam would teach you spearfishing obviously, if you dont know how to swim thats another thing hed teach you. maybe bring you handmade shell jewelry and drawings he made whilst out. hes also the spoiling type just wanting you see you enjoying yourself, probably also clingy from afar lmao please invite him out to places he just wants to hang 24/7

i think they all have a music type of feeling so thats why there sre most music themes LMAO, i picked all my favorite characters in the show :] theyre all cute
