#my friends are brilliant and im dumb

how do you keep doing this to me

give me something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around

chapter eight: please save all your questions for the end

rise of the tmnt pairing: leoichi (leonardo / usagi yuichi) word count: 4k title borrowed from pancakes for dinner by lizzy mcalpine post-movie

(previous) (next)

read on ao3

This bold new world in which Yuichi is aware of his feelings for Leonardo—where he has a name for that sunlight that sleeps in his heart, and understands why it feels like dawn every time they’re together—sort of looks exactly like the old one.

His revelation may have changed the landscape of the universe as far as Yuichi is concerned, but nothing much seems to have moved for anybody else.

Chizu, Gen and Kitsune look so full of pity when he gathers his nerve and bares his heart to them that it’s abundantly clear they’ve known all along. Yuichi has never felt any particular way about being a rabbit yokai, but now he’s learning to be fervently grateful for his thick, downy fur.

No matter how hard he blushes, it doesn’t show. And he’s been walking around with a face on fire lately. That wouldn’t do wonders for his reputation.

At least his friends are supportive, in their own way. It’s like a dam has broken and they’ve got nothing but comments and opinions on his love life now that the secret is out and it’s fair game.

Kitsune makes fun of Yuichi relentlessly, but also promises that if Leonardo does anything to hurt him, she’ll curse him so hard his descendents a thousand years from now would feel it. Yuichi has the sinking sense that she isn’t kidding. He darts a sidelong glance at their voice of reason, but Chizu only looks mildly impressed by the ferocity of the threat and also like she would be on board with seeing it through.

“I can take care of myself,” Yuichi says, bristling a little.

“Sure you can,” Kitsune replies indulgently.

Gen even pats him on the head, like that was an adorable sentiment and he was adorable for sharing it. Yuichi is going to keep them all far, far away from the Hamatos for as long as he possibly can.

my personal highlights from skizz's pov of build and seek:

the intro. something about the characters sliding around the screen and "its best to take the high road, celebrate with them and act mature about it *SMACK*" it was awesome and cracked me up

him trying to have his plot next to impys and grian and scott separating them

his "I'm hidden, can you find me?" bit (great delivery and his character being tiny in a big open space was hilarious)

skizz always plays like the dumb goof and be the butt of the joke but then he says stuff like "high level infrastructure" and "desensetize them to the poster" and "maslow's pyramid"

the fact that he had all his buddies in there (even people not in the video!) impulse and tango as blacksmith and leatherworker (cause 'i can't not have tango'), jimmy up in the tower with a sign saying 'keep looking, fool!' (the fact skizz tried to write in jimmy's voice is so awesome to me cause i love these peoples unique voices and i can definitely hear him saying that) and scott as the entire army. bonus cause they're all employed and doing stuff like being the army. an army of scotts. meanwhile grian's there "having a bad day". he's just in the basement being tortured. "wheres grian? oh he's just being tortured." and lizzie and joel just sat in the things looking at each other

him just casually saying all his friends are brilliant :)

the fact that his build is like a walk through history model and sort of is a storytelling thing? (i love how him, impulse and grian all took the build a thing task differently to the original crew and played into their own like thing cause skizz is a storyteller, loves his friends and makes people laugh and you can see it reflected in his map. impulse played with some redstone to give people a headache and grian wanted to make people dizzy with his walls and sort of put a twist on the game like he does with each new guess the build and life series by making it escape room-y)

the fact that grian stole all his leather and junk and then was wearing it at the end of the episode

skizz and jimmy as a whole cause they just make each other funnier (this is my plea for plate up or something else with them and tango to come back pleaseee) and just the way jimmy wasted time to say funny things

the fact jimmy looked at joel and lizzie and said "this is love" and impulse looked at it and went "im a bit worried about you"

literally everyone jumping in the water, making some comment about how they were gonna die and skizz being evil and how they were sure he was down there/hated him if he was down there

this is skizzleman propaganda go watch his pov of build and seek if you havent

kazi baby and maybe sunny on the side idk if she has enough in canon for an ask on her own

Oh you know it I want to talk about Kazuhira Miller. Of course I do.

(my favorite Sunny moments are all of mgrec and jomo am I allowed to answer that. Loved her there the writers did such a good job. I wish we were friends.)

First impression

Honestly, I don't think I took that much notice of him in his first appearance? I saw him in pw first, and in the beginning he is just a guy idk. The ending of peace walker and his tapes made me go a bit feral over him though. just a little.

Impression now

I'm in love with his anger issues. He's a scared animal backed into a corner that bites at the hand reaching for him even if it wants to feed and soothe him. I like thinking it gets better with age, but never quite leaves him to some extent, he did think about his revenge on bb for years (even though I think by there end it was less personal and more about. you know. not letting the world explode.)

I really really really like all of Kaz's designs. They're so expressive and tell so much about the mental space he's in. I love how resilient he is throughout all of the shit he deals with and how he passes it on to Dave. What else. There's so much more honesty I talk a bunch about Kaz in other asks, nothing else I haven't mentioned before comes to mind right now.

Favorite moment

Him almost killing himself and bb with a grenade. Showstopping. Brilliant. Never done before. All of first encounter honestly it does so much for him as a character. His tapes where he talks about his childhood too. Every Kaz moment is kind of my favorite I think. I like his lines as Master Miller where he tells Solid he should survive and about cheese fondue and stuff.

Idea for a story

I'm afraid I tie him to Ocelot too much because I love their dynamic. A big fic during the nine year gap where they do a bunch of dumb shit and make Diamond Dogs and kiss is the main one I guess. They go to a casino and beat the shit out of each other one (1) time and beat the shit out of other people many times. So much more bullshit happens but im not getting into that right now. I also have a story with the main focus on Paz in mind, but he's also there a lot, I just want them to be friends.

Unpopular opinion

He can be impulsive but he is a lot more rational than what people often portray/describe him as I think. Also, almost all interpretations of him in v I've seen feel kind of. wrong. Yes, he's traumatized and paranoid, but he is not a *mess*, not in a way he is often viewed. I already said about how I think Kaz's designs are very expressive, and there was this really cool post (don't really know where it's now unfortunately, don't think I reblogged it) about how his facial hair in tpp isn't him giving up on shaving, it's him having a fucking designer stubble that was a rising trend at the time. This, coupled with the fact that he wears so many layers (of also fancy clothes), carries a gun on him at all times, and orders people around as if it were his base (it is) and his soldiers (they are) is exactly the opposite of a man that gave up on his life. It isn't his low point. I headcanon the actual lowest low point in his life being somewhere during bb's coma, and by v he has gotten over it. It was a really long time, and they needed to move on to get things done, so he did. He didn't really need Snake by the time he gets back, I think. Not anymore. It was purely sentimenal by then, plus wanting revenge. And then not even that.

Favorite relationship

Oh would you really make me choose. Ocelhira for all the reasons listed here and so many more. Him and bb for all the baggage they have. Him and V for all the baggage they don't have but think they do because Zero is insane what was that plan. Him and Solid even though they have almost no screentime together. Everyone who ever interacts with him is my favorite relationship because it's Kazuhira Miller. Sorry for being abnormal about him.

Favorite headcanon

Transfem Kaz maybe, but I don't write or think about him with it in mind a lot of the time. Also I think he lost the hand in Ground Zeroes, it makes sense with him bringing up losing limbs and the pain being a reminder of what was taken from him nine years ago in his helicopter speech.

Bonus

Okay, more seriously about Sunny. Everyone always draws her so cheerful and outgoing aka closer to how she's in Rising I assume, that I didn't really expect that she'd be essentially kind of a shut-in in 4. She's a scared anxious child who is also a prodigy, and they are so fucking mean to her there. Made me honestly pretty sad. Though a lot of it might have been the stress everyone was under. I haven't gotten to her in mgr yet, but it makes me happy that things get better for her, like everyone always wanted.

Im sure we're all of the collective opinion that the catalyst for Phin snapping and fully turning on Miles is incredibly dumb. She beats him to a pulp and stops listening to him because. Rhino was kinda mean and said Rick's death was her fault and that made her mad. Like not only is that childish on both her and Rhino's ends, Phin is absolutely smart enough to know Rick's death wasn't her fault and Rhino is talking bullshit. Like the only way I can see that making sense is if Phin at 15 years old constructed an entire plan to break into Roxxon and destroy the nuform, and Rick, a full grown adult, decided this was brilliant (though I guess he still allowed her to get involved, or convinced her to get involved. We don't know. Insomniac doesn't care about these characters). And even IF that happened, how the hell would Krieger ever find that out? Much less tell this random guy in a rhinoceros suit all about it. It makes no sense and further throws off the intention of making Phin a sympathetic and understandable person when she's beating the shit out of her friend just cause some guy she doesn't know said something mean

In my rewrite, this scene gets switched out for an Underground member getting killed, with Krieger having something to do with it. I'm sure anyone who's familiar with my Phin Mason info dumps should already be somewhat aware of my restructuring of the Underground - instead of a pre-existing criminal organization, they're a bunch of people who've all been affected by Roxxon and came together to take them down. They're a closely knit family who care about each other deeply, so for Krieger to cause the death of one of their own with no care about it is not only enough of a reason to snap for Phin, but for the entire group. The Underground fully enables her to go through with destroying Roxxon by any means necessary, which isn't to take any blame off of Phin, more just to humanize her. She's not ignoring Miles because she's being willingly stubborn, she's listening to what her family wants, and what they want is to avenger their friend and take down Krieger before his actions hurt anybody else. This also makes it so that her unwillingness to believe Miles when he finally tells her about Harlem being destroyed is less her thinking he's a horrible liar who she can never trust, but more thinking that any information from Krieger can't be trusted. She did the research, she has every reason to believe blowing up the reactor will only take out the plaza. Why should she believe something that Miles got from the guy who's killed multiple people and is willing to kill more just so he can keep making money? For all she knows, Miles received false info, and the explosion won't actually be that bad

But anyway that's a lot of words to say Rhino scene bad Phin's conflict going into the finale should be more with Krieger, guy who she has every right to be beefing with, than Miles, guy who at worst hid a secret from her

[marabarl-and-marlbara]

hello, im very much new to your blog and i suppose you have gotten asks like this before but i find what you post very comforting. especially the church notes and such. although im only skimming through it since for large chunks of text i like to sit down. i guess im thankful (best term i can find to describe it) that you post as you do. hope your days are well.

hi anonymous;

appreciate that, i:ll have more church notes tomorrow (because it:s the righteous sabbath tomorrow);

was watching a wc3 grubby video earlier and remembered last night i had one of those "tedium nightmares" where, in the dream, i spent money on buying wc3 and started playing it only to realize i am too dumb and slow to ever be competent at ranked wc3, and that sitting down to play it was like trying to take in too much information--the buildings, unit groups, hotkeys, micro, macro, orders, counters, how to use scouting information, how to manage the shop, how to know timers and creep camps;

finished listening to cujo, joyland, and bag of bones (stephen king audiobooks) recently; finished reading my brilliant friend by elena ferrante; might have just been looking for an excuse to blog a little (ever since i stopped posting so much on twitter i:ve been realizing i don:t have a good enough memory to remember what happened during a month); take care.

[urlocalnonbinarybastardwrites]

hiii saw u were doing a ship match up thingy and wanted to see if u could do me with pjo?! not sure if ur still doing them tho so i apologize if not!

so first of all i’m pretty fem presenting, she/her, im a girl and im bi :) i got medium length wavy brown hair with long curtain bangs (im tryna grow them out..) i also wear glasses! im half mexican, white dad😬 and im literally a no sabo kid (IM TRYING TO LEARN SPANIDJ I SWESR.) im pretty tan as well, im 5’4 if that matters, my friends either call me very calm or like very weird, im also very sarcastic and ppl say my personality is fun and silly. i am an introvert tho but like very loud and outgoing wjen with my friends, like im highly embarrassing when im with my friends in public

i like to read (pjo), im pretty smart #ap/honors classes😇 but like i act rlly dumb sometimes. i play piano (not very good!) love atla, stardew valley, i lovr horror movies, hate roller coasters, love nayure and animalsnand shit and I TALK A LOT. IM SUCH A YAPPER. also rlly like painting and drawing and stuff like that but im not the best at it, i also keep lots of trinkets in my room that just dont have a specific place to go like theyre just everywhere. oki idk what else to put so >_<

take ur time in doing this and thank uuu!!

Your PJO ship: Percy Jackson!

Explanation: starting off with looks, I think that he loves your medium length brown wavy hair. He just likes the way that it looks in the fact that it’s not completely curly not completely straight. It’s just wavy and it kind of reminds some of the oceans waves almost with the way that it goes up and down, and I don’t know. I just think he would love that feature about you.. he really likes your curtain bangs and thinks that they are adorable and they go really well with your glasses. I feel like he’d make a lot of jokes about your glasses and also your curtain bangs like friendly teasing just show how much he likes them. He would also tease you about not knowing Spanish yet even though he knows literally knows himself and he’s such a hypocrite but yeah, I feel like he that’s something he would kind of tease you about, he loves your weird personality, but he also loves the side of you. That can be calm because it very much contrast with his personality and I just feel like you guys would have such opposites attract energy and it would be really, really sweet. he’s also pretty sarcastic, silly funny, etc. so I feel like that’s something that you guys would have in common and I feel like you guys would make such a dynamic duo in battles with all of your comebacks and smart remarks and things like that I just feel like you guys would be hilarious together, and everyone around you would honestly kind of love it. You guys have the best banter. Like the best top-notch.. he relates to The being smart but kind of acting dumb sometimes thing, and even though he wishes that you wouldn’t dumb yourself down sometimes because he knows how incredibly brilliant you are he would understand and he would be a hypocrite if he told you otherwise, so he mostly just nods along and gets it. he’s not the best at art, but I feel like you would still be great at art so he would absolutely support you and constantly stand behind you and ask questions whether you were painting or drawing or whatever he would just be totally invested in it even though he has ADHD and can’t like sit still for long. I still feel like he would find a way to be invested in it and, if you ever wanted to draw something would be offensive please do not make a portrait of anyone you would get punched in the face with that shit man he cannot draw for crap. I love him, but he can’t draw for crap so I feel like he’d always ask you for lessons and stuff anyway you guys are cute. I ship it. 🩷

Hate words for your moon sign <3

Aries moon- i seem to attract them, which is a problem because i hate these fuckers. Immature, selfish and irresponsible, they are oblivious to the fact that they need to work on themselves ( like literally all of us ) because they perceive themselves to have some sort of moral advantage for “always being right” ( my ass ). They also love weed and probably alcohol too ( cause god forbid they actually feel their emotions ). Theyre just big babies.

Taurus moon- unmovable, unshakable, will die on the stupidest of hills out of sheer stubbornness. They know everything since they were 3 and so theres no reason for them to get out of bed. Movies? Seen them all and if they havent, they already know the one you wana take them to is no good. Music? Pfft. Do you even know who bach is?

Gemini- yall have commitment issues the size of pluto and youre not doing anything about it. You are a menace. Basically draco malfoy but if he wasnt even rich and hot so he had literally no redeeming quality.

Cancer- even i, a particularly sensitive and emotional individual, cant handle your crying ass. Mommy issues WE GET IT!! Friends with this placement will make everyone in the group baby them and partners will suck your tits FLAT. Not to mention how EMO they truly are. Like 6 pete wentzs on the emo scale.

Leo- thank god none of yall seem to like me cause i swear to god you need 15 times more attention than the average human. Your redeeming quality is that youre funny. But if you dont stop acting like rachel berry im gonna laugh at you and not with you. Did i mention theater kid?

Virgo- youre so wrecked emotionally that i actually feel bad for you instead of wanna make fun of you. Like jojo siwas career. Its like you have the meanest most insidious person in your head judging every single thing you or anyone says or does or feels or thinks. Jesus christ, we all need therapy but you neeed therapy.

Libra- i dont trust a single word that comes out of yalls mouths. Youre people pleasing, co dependents, and eeeeverything must lead to you being good and nice. Youre no fun. And when you are its for other people to think youre fun. Also youre deeply delusional and limerant ( look it up ), and i can just sense you falling in love with everyone and everything for no reason. Ew.

Scorpio- listen here you piece of shit, i know you want everyone to be scared of you but im no fool. Literally no one finds you mysterious and intimidating, your just no fun. And yes, we can tell you cry to evanescence every night. Redeeming quality is that youre hot, but looks dont last and youre gonna be one cranky old peson.

Sagittarius- every time you tell i joke i can see tears behind your eyes. Youre not fooling anyone with your pseudo esoteric shit. Also chill tf out!! Please!! Youre either angry or excited.

Capricorn- like virgo, no amount of hate words coming from me will do a capricorn moon justice, because they are already hating on themselves so hard. They are under the delusion that its everyone around them that is the problem but deep inside they know, its themselves they feel bad about. And no you dont actually enjoy being productive, its just that your self worth is entirely dependent on being useful.

Aquarius- you are literally insane. The most delusional people ive met. None of your reactions make sense. You are constantly running away from being actually vulnerable and open, coming up with either brilliant or extremely dumb excuses, and your love life is suffering the consequences of your avoidant ass. At least your social life is good, but hey, at what cost??

Pisces- thank fucking god youre a rare species. Kind of like virgo, i almost dont wanna make fun of you because i feel bad. But in your situation i also have no desire to help your overly dramatic ass. Youre not just anxious, youre something on a whole new level and you probably require huge amounts of food/alcohol/tobbacco or something to keep it all bottled up. Good fucking luck to anyone who falls in love with you!! Ps if you wanna be a poet be a poet, dont be like umm UwU can i show you my poetry UwU 👉👈

If youre mad about this post, complain to my mother.

[kylejsugarman]

I can't find if you mentioned it anywhere, but regarding your au²! How does Baby come to be in Jesse's possession all the way in Albuquerque? Is Demi still around/a factor? Also the idea of Jesse & Skylar mom friend play dates is making me kick my feet

😳 au squared thats actually brilliant.....im still just sort of playing around but i imagined it'd be a situation where the ayuluk family lives in abq and jesse hooks up with demi's sister samantha and yk. Whoops. she comes back to him pregnant and really wants them to try to make it work out. they can do this!! but shortly after baby's born, samantha relapses due to the postpartum depression and overdoses, leaving him with this tiny little thing. demi is still at vet school when this all goes down and returns to abq like halfway-ish thru breaking bad, aware that her sister got pregnant and gave birth before she died but having never met her niece or jesse. she finds them both (he has been low key avoiding her family because he feels super guilty for like. knocking up samantha and believes that its his fault she died) and whatever negative feelings that she's been harboring against this mystery man start to evaporate when she meets him and sees how much he loves baby. their relationship follows the same course it does in alaska (going from friends to partners) and they'd eventually make it to alaska, all three of them. its so dumb and silly and weird, like it might as well just be the regular au, it sounds so dumb describing it

but any jesse + skyler interaction makes me deranged, its so fun to imagine her very reluctantly letting their daughters play together ("yo, she doesn't know any other babies, so like. can she meet ur baby??") and fielding his calls when he's like hey ive heard about this whole Teething thing is that for real??

[justalia]

hi queen! i was wondering if u could help me out.

i have been following LOA twitter since like nov but i have known abt LOA longer, however i only learned states with LOA twitter and neville + ed art. i truly love learning abt this stuff and hearing neville and ed's words. ive gotten some success but it just feels like i dont get anything noteworthy?

for ex. i got the job i wanted but i almost feel like i would have gotten it anyway. i manifested 10k somehow buttt it was my parents gifting it to me (unexpected they dont give me shit) but im not even counting it bc its in an investment account i cant touch

i had my worst college sem and got B's which i never get.

i prev manifested a good friendship with my friend who we were on and off but we just had our biggest fight yet.

my sp is still w a 3p + i feel not up to par applying for medical school

i feel like i see so many ppl applying this stuff and getting amazing grades, the sp, and their dream life in like weeks but lately, i just feel incompetent and like everything i touch is exploding in my face. sometimes i feel dumb bc im like am i just wasting my time reading abt this stuff when i could be taking fr action to better my life? its like ive been caught up in this daydream and im yet to see harvest. i fulfill myself with inner convos + feelings but for each success, i can also recall several failures. it rly feels like the only successes are getting is stuff that could have happened anyway when i want like the huge omg my life is objectively better bc of this type shit. i am so scared i am just wasting time and that's why my professional life is going down the hill for the first time ever. before id always be brilliant even if my relationships were trash lol. i guess my biggest question is where am i going wrong, how do i increase my faith in the process when i am getting mid results LOL

manifestation coming true in the outer world is supposed to feel like “it would’ve happened either way” bc it is natural, it’s how the world works.

i feel like you’re undermining yourself and dismissing the successes you got, stop undervaluing yourself and just apply.

imagine EXACTLY what you want i don’t care how impossible it may feel. imagine what you truly want, not what you think you should want.

PART 5

All the boys started to surround me as they started getting undressed and I was trying so hard to move to run away and I was able to move a couple inches before daddy telling me that it’s so pathetic that you’re trying to run away and your daddies said that we can do anything we want with you so me and my horny friends are going to use you however we want and just to let you know everyone boy here has shit still in there ass and your job is going to be to clean our asses until it’s clean as the first one made me lay on my back with them smothering my face I started to clean there asses filled with shit and getting told that I’m a very good boy for obeying daddy and then got off my face and told me to stick my tongue out as I did there was shit still caked on my tongue and daddy took a picture the said baby boy loves to eat poop like a nasty piggy doesn’t he the all of the boys moved a giant crib in the room and removed everything except the plastic bed and as I was laying there daddy cam and put a bigger 8 inch dildo paci in and fastened it to my head the 4 of the boys picked me up and put me in the crib and told me that I wasn’t a regular baby boy that I was very special for living my life like this forever then daddy left and came back with my real daddy and he just kept staring at me and then one of the boys left and came back with some stuff and the boy started pulling stuff out and said I asked your main daddy if I can do this he said yes so your getting changed but I will be putting a total of 10 diapers on you and im gonna put 8 glycerin in you and every boy is going to pee in your thicker diapers after they taped the last diaper on all the boys lined up and sat right on my tummy and pulled my diaper up and started peeing after every boy was finished my real biological father came to the side of my crib and just stared at me and was confused about everything and asked me why I look like a 2 week old baby and looking like I have been hypnotized by how glazed my eyes were and then my dad started to try to untie me and he was stopped in less then minutes by all the boys and then had a brilliant idea to put me and my real dad back in diapers so w boy left and came back with my main daddy and told them everything and asked if he can help the boys make my dad just like me and and my daddy said yes as my real dad was confused and angry and then started yelling but daddy stopped him by putting him under hypnosis right away and then told some boys to go fetch the diapers and everything else when the boys came back they locked my real dads cock up just like me then put 10 glycerin bullets in him and then started carefully putting all 10 diapers on him and the they found matching shirt that says I’m a dumb diaper filler for both me and my real dad after that my daddy left and came back with all of the pills he gave me and put them into dads mouth and forced it down as he swollowed then daddy said awwww is my baby boy happy I’m turning his daddy into a pathetic diaper faggot just like you. You and your dad are going to be the dumbest babies ever and no one even knows that you were force fed the pills and now both of your big boy minds are lost forever and I decided that you don’t need your brains anymore so I erased every memory you and your dad had and your brains are completely empty so now you are exactly like a baby you and your dad are completely helpless and now your new 3 daddies own both of you and you and your dad are going to be together forever as dumb mindless infants now that you and your daddy are in the crib together the fun starts and then all the boys started to pee in my dads diaper making it swell up after my dad woke up he was completely different and then our tummies started churning and rumbling and then a hypnotist comes in and told my real dad to get up and sit right on my face so he did as he was told then he told my dad to let everything out and make lots of poopies after the dad finished pooping the hypnotist ordered him to sit on your sons face and make him smell your fully loaded poopy diapers

[bunnakit]

bun, oat and ai di 2, 10, 13 and 14

character ask game 🌸

kali im biting you these are such good chars and questions

2 🌸 Favorite canon thing about this character?

Bunn - I adore his wit and attitude. He's smart (and also a little dumb) and he knows it and he knows just how to get under people's skin while also being the most endearing person in the room. (And he's a little bit of a slut, we stan.)

Oat - He's so fucking genuine and so sweet. He's almost always smiling and he can't get away with anything (until it matters most.) Golden retriever energy for days.

Ai Di - Ai Di feels things so intensely. He comes off as this feral wild person but all of this energy stems from the fact that he feels everything so intensely all the time, all that love and devotion and loyalty and protective instinct has to come out somewhere because he's certainly not communicating it to Chen Yi.

10 🌸 Could you be best friends with this character?

Bunn - I think it would be a strange friendship. I have a friend in real life that's a lot like Bunn, brilliant and kind of a snarky ass. He's like my brother, I adore him and I'd give him a kidney without question if he needed it, but we also fight like siblings and get into disagreements and grate on each others nerves and want to beat the hell out of each other. I think Bunn and I would have a friendship very similar to his friendship with Inspector M.

Oat - God yes, but to be fair I think Oat is one of those people anyone could easily be friends with. I think we'd have a lot of fun teasing people, teasing each other, and just have one of those friendships that's easy.

Ai Di - This one is hard. I want to say yes? But we're both so fucking feral I think things might get overwhelming from time to time. I do think we'd have one of those relationships where you message each other and go "Can I be a hater for a minute?" and just unleash all the opinions you don't want to post publicly because like, they aren't that big of a deal, and it doesn't need to be A Thing. We'd also enjoy spicy food together.

13 🌸 What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

Bunn - 🙄🤔😩

Oat - 🥰😭😊

Ai Di - 🔪🔫🌶️

14 🌸 Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Bunn - Business casual 24/7, does not own a pair of jeans.

Oat - Average, jeans and some kind of graphic tee with a ridiculous phrase or design. Maybe the occasional flannel or button up to go out.

Ai Di - Absolute chaos. Patterns and neon colors for days, probably experimented with Pastel Goth. He is always the brightest one in the room and you can always gauge his mood by his clothes.

I have this idea swimming around in my head and I need to share them with somebody. Im not surenif ull ever write it because writers block is real lol

Nico has a crush on Lewis but thinks his former friend and still neighbor is together with Seb. Cue his confusion when he sees Seb kiss Charles.

He immediately has to tell Lewis his "boyfriend " is cheating on him and Lewis is hella confused because "boyfriend?"

Nico is obviously elated about this hut still doesn't dare to make a move but this talk eased something between them.

One day Lewis has to approach nico because "guess what I just saw Max kiss Charles wtf" "no way I saw Max cuddle with Seb the other night" they try to figure out whats happening, talk more or get to know each other better and are dumb idiots in love but also dumb in general. Somehow they get together but still haven't really figured out that max, Charles and Seb are a thing and nobody cheats

Oh my god anon I just love the idea!!! I can totally see brocedes making up by gossiping about other people's relationship XD

Shatterdome Shenanigans

Cw: mentions of being drunk, alcohol, mild swearing.

A/n: my lovely friend tex encouraged me to write about my s/I so I decided to make some scenes that could happen during/after the movie.

--Okay but whose fucking brilliant idea was to name that cat V kaiju "slattern" ?-- Jerico asked, beer bottle in hand.

The people present look at tendo, who only shrugs and takes a sip from his drink-- it was me, and you were there! You heard stacker going "call it slattern if you must"

--i KNOW but what was going through your head when you saw slattern?!

--i was more worried about the hunk of flesh that that kaiju was rather than "oh how should I name it!" I said "the bitch is big" and then Pentecost came with his politically correct speech about "call it slattern if you must!"

Chuck, who was also present, side hugged Jerico pulling her closer-- wasnt Slattern on the offical report too? Yer tellin' me the Word "slattern" is in an official PPDC document?-- he asked after taking a swig of his beer.

--Yup-- tendo replied.

--I think I signed it ,too-- herc replied.

The table erupts with drunk laughter, jerico is curled over the table smacking it with her fist, Chuck is holding his stomach, head thrown back, Herc is biting down on his fist holding back laughter (And failing miserably), And tendo is Rolling his eyes between chuckles.

Silently, Stacker pentecost observes his finest PPDC members trash talk him. He sighs and mutters-- im workin' with children -- but inwardly, he found the whole slattern situation incredibly funny, he could remember the faces of the higher Ups reading the report incredibly baffled.

《♡♡♡♡♡》

Its a nice and quiet morning in the shatterdome, everyone got to sleep in, Andd finally tendo got a proper eight hours of rest.

Its silent, aside from the whirring of tools and the bustle of mingling workers and jaeger repairs.

Peace, something that the shatterdome hasnt felt in a good while.

Peace, that is disturbed as a cackling Chuck is being chased by a very angry jerico-- yOU ATE THE LAST SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!

--I was just having brekkie babe!-- Chuck yelled back, barely evading the pillow jerico was using to plummet him-- bloody hell!

--BREKKIE MY ASS!. CHUCK HANSEN VENI PARA ACA QUE TE VOY A HACER MIERDA!-- (Chuck hansen come here ill kick your ass!) She yelled, throwing the pillow again and hitting him square in the back of the neck, making him let out an "oomf" sound.

The technicians only sighed deeply, some things never change.

《♡♡♡♡》

--Are all those cups of coffee for you?-- jerico asked leaning on the kitchen counter.

Tendo, who had sneaked into the Shatterdome's kitchen, was holding maybe four cups, two on each hand plus a donut to munch on-- Pentecost wants me on overwatch until we make sure nothings gonna come out again, and after pitfall Ive been sleeping like dogshit...sorry honey, I know you dont like me doing these things

Jeri sighed, pressing a kiss to his lips, which he gladly returned, awkwardly hugging her waist-- let me Carry some for you, then?

He nodded and handed him two mugs, and while hes distracted she takes a bite from his donut.

--Hey wait a minute! Somebody stole a bite from my donut!-- he exclaimed looking at her.

--Oh thats a crime!-- jeri said playing dumb

He raised a brow with a smirk on his face -- wonder who did it

--Dont you mean who DONUT it?

He snorted and rolled his eyes-- alright you...

She helped him Carry his worrying ammounts of coffee towards LOCCENT, once there, he sets them down on a nearby table and he sits on his Office chair.

--This Seat taken?-- jerico asked.

--Doll ,thats my lap?

--Did I stutter?

He chuckled and patted his thigh-- no ma'am

Jeri sat on his lap and he hugged her waist-- ya dont gotta Keep me company

--Ill stay for a bit

--I dont think ill be able to get anythin' done with you around -- he teased.

--Too bad

Jerico did eventually leave to sleep like normal people do, but not before kissing her boyfriend good night and bring him another donut.

By the time morning arrived and nothing came through the now closed breach, tendo reached his bedroom and barely had any energy to change and lay down.

He noticed his girlfriend asleep with one of his shirts, he chuckles and pulls her against his chest, spooning her.

Finally, he could get some well deserved rest.

《♡♡♡♡♡》

--I still cant Belive you two considered jumping off of S.E, hes what?, 250 feet tall? Are you guys out of your mind?!

--Okay look-- Chuck started, speaking like a kid who was caught doing something he shouldnt-- we were good as dead up there and there was nothing we could do

--But we werent going to actually jump!-- Herc explained with his hands up.

--i saw you looking down at the sea-- she noted.

--Yeah well...

Like father like son, both just looked away, slouching and smiling nervously.

Jerico pulled them close for a hug, and they hugged back.-- you dont have to worry about us-- Chuck whispered caressing her hair.

--it wouldnt be the dumbest thing we've done

--I know.. its just..- Youre telling me youve done dumber things than considering jumping from a 250 ft robot?

--uhhhhhh

--How are you still alive?!-- she asks.

--Dunno-- Chuck admitted.

《♡♡♡♡♡♡》

Raleigh was quietly working out, doing push Ups in his room while jerico sat on his back, she was way lighter than him but the added Weight could be felt.

-- once i heard someone describe you as "an annoying cowboy" -- jeri commented, drinking from her tea and Reading the news on her phone.

--Thats a good way to describe me -- he agreed.

--I preffer handsome cowboy-- she flirted.

--Oh so you think im handsome?

--My Man, we've been dating for a couple of years now, of course I think youre handsome

He laughed-- I remember you being the envy of the world, dating me and my brother

Jerico flicked him on the back of his head-- dont let it get to your head, becket

-- hey!-- he exclaimed-- mean

--Love you too

Raleigh laughed, shaking his head-- love you too, honey

《♡♡♡♡》

Chuck sighed, working on striker eureka's repair was hard work.

He was hungry, maybe he should get something to eat...

Wiping the sweat off of his brow, hes about to stand up when he feels something slap his bicep-- hey handsome-- jeri said, sitting besides him-- lunch

She handed him a sándwich wrapped in plastic, so that was what she used to hit him

--Brought you cold water and lamingtons

--Why havent I married you yet?-- he asked taking the food and unwrapping his lunch.

-- baby we are married though?-- she showed him the ring.

--Yeah but i mean, a Real wedding? One that is officiated by someone else than tendo?

--once the shatterdome is shut down we can have our wedding

He nodded pulling her closer-- nothing more romantic than eating lunch infront of a 250 FT robot

--Youre always so thoughtfull

--Ah well, I try my best, Cheers

Both of them clinked their sandwiches toghether-- cheers!-- jeri squeals.

As far as she was concerned, this was a perfect date.

《♡♡♡♡》

--Herc! Im bored!-- jerico said, making some snacks for her and her boyfriend.

--Hello,bored,im herc-- herc replied, not looking up from the lovely paperwork stacker had given him.(sarcasm intended).

--Haha, so funny-- she set the plates on the desk and sat on his lap.

The Man looks up and grabs one of the snacks eating from it-- I know, im hilarious

--And then you wonder where Chuck's asshole behavior came from -- jeri teased.

--Mean -- herc simply replies.

She sticks her tongue out and both just stare at eachother,to then laugh and resume what they were doing.

Some hours later, jerico decided to do something about her boredom, grabbing one of the old tape players herc had and turning it on,deciding to slide in a cassete tape labeled " 60s music".

Soft music started to play, slow rythm and with a jazzy feel to it.

Herc barely registers it as hes neck deep in work.

--Oh what lovely music, shame I dont have someone to dance with!-- she exclaimed with fake sorrow, the back of her hand on her forehead and the other on her chest-- if only there was a handsome ranger around here to dance with!

The Man turns to her and raises a brow-- sorry honey, these documents are important

--herc! Youve been working on them all day! Cmon!

He sighed and stood up, taking one of her hands in his-- fear not,your ranger has arrived-- Hercules decided to play along, because the alternatives werent as fun

--My hero!-- jeri exclaims, putting one hand on his shoulder while his free arm held her waist.

Both rock back and forth, her face on his chest, his chin on the crown of her head.

They danced along to the rythm, quiet and domestic bliss.

He spins her around and pulls her back to him, their faces Inches away-- hey~ -- he flirts.

--hey...-- she whispers.

--mind if I kiss ya?-- herc asks with a low voice.

--Go on ahead, ranger

He kisses her, holding her Gently but tightly against him, and she gladly kisses back, hugging his neck.

That paperwork could surely wait.

《♡♡♡♡》

--And then the bastard says that I dont have a girlfriend!-- newt exclaims while sitting on his girlfriend's lap-- can you Belive it? So of course I pulled out my phone and showed him a picture of you! Chau wad talking shit!

Jerico laughed, ruffling her boyfriends hair-- well, youre adorable, how couldnt you get a girlfriend?

--i am so lucky to have you though...Nerdy, intelligent, curious? Its like we are made for eachother! -- he squealed, pressing his forehead against hers.-- love you, baby

--Love you too, babe

He gave her a gentle kiss before asking-- wanna hear something cool I found out about kaijus?

--Uh yeah???? Of course!

And off he went to infodump on his New discovery. Oh how much jerico loved newt.

《♡♡♡♡♡》

--Youre such a stick in the Mud-- jerico told stacker while they were baking.

--Stick in the Mud? Really?-- he asked, bumping her with his hip.

--Yeah! You never laugh, or make jokes...you even chastisied tendo because he called slattern a big bitch!

--Well we were at work! He cant just say things like that-- pentecost tried to defend himself.

--stick. In. The. Mud. -- jeri repeated sounding very sure of herself.

He rolled his eyes and grabbed the icing he was using to decorate the cookies and putting some on his finger, to then boop his companions nose leaving icing all over It.

She gasps and turns to her, but then a cloud of flour hit her-- sTACKER!

pentecost laughs but then flour hits him in the face.

--Thats how its going to be huh?-- he challenged and soon a flour war was started.

The shatterdome's kitchen staff looked at the pair in disbelief. Soon more people joined to watch the spectacle as stacker chased jerico around the kitchen, both holering with laughter and child like joy.

Pentecost ended up catching jeri, squeezing her like a plushie and laughing alongside her.

They did finish the cookies however, and after cleaning the mess they made, both enjoyed them in the comforts of stacker's room.

Stacker Pentecost was a Man that didnt allow himself a lot of joyous or child like moments, but when he did, not only were they a thing to behold but also incredibly worth it.

in an attempt to manage my codependency somebody suggested that i make a list of energy muses which is a weirdly derivative and euphemistic way of saying i should make a list of people who i admire and respect but there's nobody i admire or respect so much as seventeen year old yana. i think seventeen was the perfect age for me, because i was young and brilliant, and my youthfulness complimented my brilliance and maturity in a way that was very becoming, i was a virgin girl and i lived with a specific set of romantic delusions where i was convinced that the graduate students and professors i spent the summer doing a writing intensive with all wanted to have sex with me. in retrospect yeah, im sure they did.

seventeen year old yana was the coolest person ever. especially that summer, between writing intensives at a tiny liberal arts college in the appalachian foothills, august reading brautigan on my uncle's boat and listening to the magnetic fields, sneaking white wine and smoking backwoods in the park with my friends. i was writing conservatively five hundred words a day about blackberries and salad greens and most importantly my virginity.

when it comes down to it i really cant shake the feeling that my chastity and precociousness is what made me special, but those aren't the sort of things you can meaningfully bring with you into adulthood without being a little bit insufferable. it's one thing to be seventeen and have a singular voice and to be really bitter about boys not wanting to date you, entirely something else to feel a weird disdain for and dread about sexual competition in your mid-twenties. no longer chic to lie to boys and say i've had sex with seven other people and losing my virginity is really no big deal and that i'm not so interested in connection, i'm just looking to have fun and feel good and enjoy being desired. i guess they're all just pieces of the puzzle.

i'm still childishly fixated on the experience of losing my virginity because it was painful and frightening. i was so convinced that finally having sex was going to be the thing that made me feel grown-up and worthy and changed but it just hurt. it was a rich kid with black hair and he unclasped my bra in front of the window so all of his friends in the courtyard could see my breasts, and they hooted like monkeys, and the truth is that the humiliation was a little bit thrilling. the sex itself just hurt, i didn't want it, i cried and screamed the whole time and in the morning i had to take an emergency contraceptive that i bought with my birthday money. i kept seeing the guy until one night he dosed me with acid while we were laying in the courtyard, and i walked home in my plastic majorette boots sweating all over myself. i couldn't bring myself to consider that my feigned indifference about the whole thing was less about being young and hot and cool but more about lacking the courage to protect myself from what i thought i'd wanted.

so i'll say that sincerely, i've felt a little bit like i've lived in a fugue state since then, and i'll blame it on the hormones, but who knows. i think deep down it has more to do with censuring myself to appease difficult men because i don't know how else to affirm my womanhood. i didn't realize how good i had it and i wanted to live on a man's wall like a deer mount. when i looked at myself i looked with the eyes of a big dumb man, and all i could see was a woman who was deficient in something, sexual savvy.

there is an unimaginable difficulty in finding myself sufficient, but it seems like the most loving option. my life as an adult has become, without my realizing it, a love letter to a seventeen year old girl. i face her in the mirror when i get ready for work, and though she won't admit it, i can sense her quiet fascination with my life, and her pride. with a sense of smugness, she thinks- i'm going to go work the night shift, i'm going to go sling some cards, i'm going to go out drinking at a dive bar, and i'm going to sleep in my own apartment with art from the thrift store. i'm wearing the coolest jewelry anyone has ever seen and on my off days i do big giant paintings and make comics.

#just saw that tweet abt pink days on the set of the barbie movie & i think it made me realize why it - the marketing etc - annoys me so#'margot robbie went around collecting fines and donated them to charity haha' okay. look.#that's just the perfect metaphor for how it worked for us - me - anyone who wants to align themselves with me - when we were girls#isn't it#because you grow up and you desperately want to fit in with the other girls but you don't & you don't know why#but you're surrounded by things and people telling you what a normal girl is like & little-to-none of it is things you find appealing or#interesting. makeup and fashion and skin care. gymnastics and romance. you're told that you are obligated to be pretty#but prettiness has never been part of your perception of yourself. femininity is an arcane concept#an exclusive club that will never grant you entrance#& the only comfort you can give yourself is deciding that it's dumb anyway. shallow. vain. who cares about looks and boys and all of that#idiots that's who#but this is Doing It Wrong too isn't it? because now everyone who has taught you that you will forever fail at femininity turns around#& tells you that's patriarchal oppression and YOU'RE the bad one by distancing yourself from something that always made you feel defective#'YOU may have never lived up to this impossible standard of perfection but some ppl do and actually it's fine to be like that!#hyperfeminine traditionally beautiful women are the most oppressed group of all & finally we will stand up for our rights!'#'girls can be pretty AND conpetent' but that's not what they're actually saying. isn't it.#because performing femininity correctly is the prerequisite. a threshold you can never cross and you know that. & that's fine#but somehow that's wrong too because you're not supposed to make peace w that are you. you're SUPPOSED to want to do it right#even if you don't and never have and never will#and once again everyone is yelling at you that this club isn't meant for you. if you criticize the barbie movie you're antifeminist#if you refuse to wear pink I'll make you pay a fine#hashtag girlpower#(well im not a girl. not a guy either. and not a secret third thing. just bad at femininity.#bad at being a person. and y'all don't need to tell me you don't want me in your club#I've always known that. i just wish you'd stop expecting me to beg for entrance.)

actually I'll say this out loud and I'll also say this:

like my brilliant friend @fearlessinger, I would prefer this to be a commercial. The problem isn't that the Barbie movie wants to sell you plastic garbage. The problem is that the Barbie movie seems to think it can be more, that it could have anything to say besides "buy doll". All it has done so far is make painfully obvious just how impossible that is.

If you don't wear metaphorical pink - don't perform femininity - a patriarchal society will penalize you. If you don't wear literal pink on the set of supposed feminist filmmaker Greta Gerwing, Margot Robbie will make you pay a literal fine, but it's ironic and for "charity" this time.

You can't be subversive when you're the mainstream and you can't be satire when you reinforce what you're supposed to satirize.
