PART FOUR/2 previous part - next part
The sun dips low over the sky, painting it in shades of amber and rose as you finish getting ready. Youâve been pacing your hotel room for the last twenty minutes, debating whether you should even go to this dinner. Max made it sound casual, just friends and some of Landoâs crew, but the way your stomach twists tells you itâs anything but simple.
Since Monaco, things with Lando have been... complicated. He stayed over after Qualifying, the two of you wrapped in an unspoken agreement to keep things platonic. But nothing about the way he looked at you, the way his presence filled your space, felt friendly. Then there was the raceâhis P4 finishâand the small get-together afterward, where you both acted like nothing had happened. Since then, his scheduleâs relentless pace kept you apart, exchanging only a few texts that danced around anything real. Just keeping in touch.
And now, this dinner.
You change into your favorite outfit, something understated but flattering, and force yourself to take a deep breath. Itâs just a dinner. Youâre friends, you tell yourself.

The restaurant hums with life as you step inside, trailing Max and Pietra. Warm light glints off polished wood and delicate glassware, and the buzz of conversation wraps around you like a soft blanket. You glance at the private room Max mentioned earlier, feeling your pulse quicken. You know whoâs waiting there.
When you walk in, the first person you see is him. Heâs tipped back in his chair at the head of the table, laughing at something someone said, his grin so easy and familiar it makes your chest ache. Then his eyes land on you, and for a moment, everything else in the room seems to blur.
��About time,â he says, standing up in one smooth motion. His voice is light, teasing, but thereâs something in his gaze that sends a spark down your spine. He greets Max with an effortless handshake-hug, Pietra with a peck on the cheek, and then his attention falls to you.
âStranger,â he says. âLando,â you reply, keeping your voice even as you raise an eyebrow. His grin tilts, just a little lopsided, and the look in his eyes feels like a challenge.
The dinner is exactly what you expectedâgood food, great wine, and laughter that fills the space like itâs been waiting for all of you to show up. Max, seated on your right, is in big-brother mode, making sure you try everything and nudging your glass whenever itâs even close to empty. Across from you, Pietra chats animatedly with one of Landoâs friends, and you smile along, but your attention keeps drifting. Lando is at the far end of the table, surrounded by people who hang onto his every word. Heâs effortlessly charismatic, telling some story you canât quite hear, but that has everyone laughing. Except every now and then, his eyes meet yours, just for a second. Itâs like heâs checking in, or maybe daring you to look away first.
You donât.
When he gets up to refill his drink, he passes behind you, his hand brushing lightly over your shoulder. The touch is so brief, so casual, that no one else notices. But it sends a shiver through you anyway. âHaving fun?â he murmurs, his voice low and private, meant just for you. âLoads,â you reply, trying to sound unimpressed even as heat rises to your cheeks.
His chuckle is soft, almost affectionate, before he moves away. You tell yourself to focus, to ignore the way your heart is beating just a little too fast.
Later, the table splits into smaller conversations, and somehow, Lando ends up next to you. Max is too busy laughing at something Pietra said to notice when Lando leans in, his shoulder brushing yours. âThis is torture,â he says under his breath, his knee knocking lightly against yours under the table. Your throat goes dry. âWhat is?â âYou. Wearing this dress.â His voice is teasing, but thereâs an edge to it that makes you hold your breath.
You donât know how to respond, and for a moment, you just sit there, the noise of the room fading into the background. Then Max glances over, and Lando straightens, all easy charm again. âWhat are you two whispering about?â Max asks, his eyes narrowing suspiciously. Lando doesnât miss a beat. âJust telling your sister she has terrible taste in wine.â
âHey!â you protest, and the table laughs. Max shakes his head, rolling his eyes. âDonât listen to him. He drinks that sparkling stuff like itâs water.â The conversation moves on, and you pretend everything is normal, even as Landoâs knee stays pressed against yours under the table. And you donât move away.
As the laughter around the table flows easily, your own chuckle gets caught in your throat when Lando leans back in his chair, stretching casually, but you donât miss the way his knee once again brushes against yours under the table. Itâs subtle, almost as if heâs testing to see how long he can get away with it without anyone noticing. Your pulse quickens, and you do your best to focus on Pietra, whoâs telling an animated story about a mishap at her last work event.
But Lando is⌠distracting. His words replay in your head on an endless loopââthis is tortureââand you swear you can still feel the ghost of his knee against yours under the table. Itâs maddening, really. The ease with which he teases you under Maxâs nose, how effortlessly he switches back to joking with the group like he didnât just upend your entire sense of composure.
You glance his way and catch him smirking, like he knows exactly what heâs doing. His focus shifts back to his drink, but thereâs a flicker of something in his expressionâplayful yet deliberateâthat makes it impossible to ignore him. You try to shake it off. You tell yourself that itâs just Lando being Lando: cheeky, teasing, good at making people feel... something. Just like always. Except this doesnât feel like always, and thatâs the problem. Youâre trying to focus on the ongoing conversation. Something about summer plans, maybe? Youâre not even sure anymore. Lando is leaning back in his chair again now, one arm draped lazily over the back of his seat, looking every bit like someone who hasnât a care in the world. But he keeps glancing at you when he thinks no one else will notice.
âAlright,â Max announces suddenly, clapping his hands together as if heâs about to make a grand proclamation. âDrinks back at mine?â Thereâs a chorus of agreement around the table as chairs start scraping against the floor and people gather their things. You hesitate, glancing at your phone like you might have an excuse to slip away. But before you can concoct some half-hearted reason to head back to the hotel, Pietra loops an arm through yours, effectively trapping you. âYouâre coming, right?â although she forms it as a question, you know itâs really not.
âI wouldnât want to miss out,â you reply lightly, smiling at Pietra. Who, satisfied with your response, letâs go of you to join Max again. Your stomach twists again when you see Lando standing by the door, your coat in his hands, waiting like he has all the time in the world. His curls are a little messy, his grin lazy, yet sharp as his eyes meet yours in the dim light. Itâs as if he can sense your hesitation and is daring you to pull away. âCome on, stranger,â he says softly, leaning just close enough that his voice feels like itâs wrapping around you. âCanât bail now.â You narrow your eyes at him, trying to ignore the way your heart jumps at the way he towers ever so slightly over you. âI didnât say I was bailing.â âNo?â His gaze drops briefly to your phone in your hand, then flicks back up to catch yours. âGood,â he says, his voice dipping lower, quieter. âBecause I wasnât going to let you.â
Itâs infuriating how easily he gets under your skin. With a huff of mock-annoyanceâbecause genuine annoyance is impossible when heâs looking at you like thatâyou slide your arms into the coat heâs still holding and step away before the spark between you burns any brighter.
The group spills out into the cool night air, laughter echoing down the cobblestone street as everyone makes their way toward Maxâs flat. Pietra loops her arm through yours again, chatting about some new cafĂŠ she wants to try tomorrow for breakfast. The walk to Maxâs place is short, but it feels like an eternity with Lando so close behind you in the group. Every step feels charged, like thereâs an invisible string stretched taut between the two of you. You try not to think about what he said earlierâor how his knee pressed against yours, or how warm his hand had been on your shoulder at dinnerâbut itâs useless. Heâs inescapable, even when he isnât touching you.
When you finally reach Max's apartment, everyone else appears calm and carefree. However, you have come to the realization that you can no longer let Lando do this to you. You donât know if he isnât aware of the drama it would cause if Max found out or if he just doesnât care about the consequencesâyou however do care about the consequences. While never openly spoken about, you know how your brother would feel about this. Heâd hate it. Lando is his best friend and you are his little sister. Two things that, frankly, shouldnât mingle so close. So you make the decision to talk to Lando tonight.
Itâs not like you donât care or that you donât feel things when youâre around him, but is acting on it really worth the pain it could and would cause?
Eventually everyone is spread across the living room, laughing and reminiscing, the buzz of good drinks and great music keeping the energy alive. Youâre perched on the arm of the couch, balancing your drink as Pietra chats animatedly beside you. Across the room, Lando lounges in a chair, looking infuriatingly relaxed, his attention shifting to you every few minutes. Itâs subtle, the way his gaze lingers just a fraction too long, but you feel itâlike a spark skittering across your skin. You pretend not to notice, focusing on Pietra's story about her disastrous attempt at paddleboarding last summer. But when Lando catches your eye mid-sentence, raising his brow in a silent tease, your stomach flips.
Max comes in from the kitchen, holding a fresh beer, his presence immediately commanding attention. âAlright, whose idea was it to leave me in charge of snacks?â he announces. âI could barely find some crisps, let alone figure out this sweets situation.â
Pietra groans. âMax, itâs literally all in the cupboard. You just have to put it in some bowls.â
âBut thatâs where you put them!â Max protests, plopping down beside Pietra. His knee bumps yours, but his focus is on his girlfriend, who shakes her head fondly. Lando seizes the moment to move closer, taking the newly vacated spot on the couch next to you. âYou okay there?â he murmurs, low enough that only you can hear. âPerfectly fine,â you shoot back, matching his tone with a pointed glare. But your attempt at indifference falters when his knee brushes yoursâdeliberately, youâre sure. âYouâre really gonna keep your distance tonight, are you?â he asks, his voice light but carrying that edge of challenge that makes your heart race. âI am sitting next to you,â you counter, swirling your drink for effect. âYouâre just mad Iâm busy talking to everyone else tonight.â He chuckles softly, the sound brushing against your skin like velvet. âGive it time.â
Before you can respond, Maxâs voice cuts through the room. âWhat are you two whispering about now?â His tone is joking, but thereâs a hint of suspicion there that makes you stiffen. âJust telling your sister she needs to get some updated LN4 merch for the weekend,â Lando says smoothly, leaning back like he doesnât have a care in the world. âExcuse me?â you retort, feigning outrage. âThat stuff is expensive, genius.â The group erupts into laughter, and Max shakes his head, rolling his eyes. âOf course, it is. You should stick to the Quadrant merch anyhow.â
"Hey now," Lando protests with a grin, "I'm hurt, Max. Thought we were friends." The conversation shifts, but you can't shake the tension thrumming beneath your skin. Lando's presence beside you is electric, and you're acutely aware of every subtle movement he makes. You try to focus on the others, laughing at the right moments and nodding along, but your mind keeps drifting back to the man next to you. While Lando's quick thinking may have diffused the situation, it only reinforces your resolve to talk to him. You need to set things straight before they spiral out of control.
As the night wears on, you find yourself growing more and more restless. You've been careful to mingle with everyone, pointedly avoiding extended conversations with Lando. But his presence is a constant, hovering at the edge of your awareness. You catch his eye across the room more than once, and each time, that familiar spark ignites in your chest.
Finally, as the party begins to wind down, you see your chance. Lando slips out onto the balcony, and after a moment's hesitation, you follow. The cool night air is a relief after the warmth of the apartment, and for a moment, you just stand there, letting it wash over you. "Thought you might follow me out here," Lando says softly, not turning around. He's leaning against the railing, his profile illuminated by the city lights below. You take a deep breath, steeling yourself. "Lando, we need to talk."
He turns to face you, his expression unreadable in the dim light. "I was wondering when you'd say that," he says softly, a hint of resignation in his voice. You step closer, careful to keep some distance between you. The city sprawls below, a tapestry of twinkling lights and distant sounds, but your focus narrows to the man in front of you. The air feels thick with unspoken words and simmering tension.
"This... whatever this is," you begin, gesturing vaguely between the two of you, "it needs to stop." Lando's brow furrows, a flash of hurt crossing his features before he schools his expression. "What exactly are you referring to?" he asks, his tone carefully neutral. You take a deep breath, steeling yourself. "The touches. The looks. The... the way you've been pushing boundaries tonight. It's not fair, Lando." Your words hang in the air between you, heavy with implication. Lando's jaw clenches, a muscle twitching as he processes what you've said. For a moment, the only sound is the distant hum of the city below and the muffled laughter from inside.
"Not fair?" Lando repeats, his voice low but charged with emotion. "What's not fair is pretending there's nothing between us." He takes a step closer, his eyes searching yours in the dim light. "Do you really want to ignore this? To act like we don't feel anything when we're around each other?" You bite your lip, trying to ignore the way your heart races at his proximity. "Lando, it's not that simple. Max is your best friend, and he's my brother. We can't justâ"
"Can't what?" he interrupts, his voice rising slightly. "Can't be honest about how we feel? Can't take a chance on something that could be amazing?"â"Shh!" you hiss, glancing nervously at the sliding glass door. "Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to hear?" Lando runs a hand through his curls, frustration evident in every line of his body. "Maybe I do," he says, though he lowers his voice. "Maybe I'm tired of sneaking around, of pretending I don't want to be near you every second we're in the same room."
His words send a shiver down your spine, and you struggle to maintain your composure. "It's not just about us," you argue, your voice rising slightly. "What about Max? He's your best friend, Lando. How do you think he'd react?" Lando's eyes flash with a mix of frustration and determination. "I care about Max, you know I do. But I'm not going to let fear of his reaction dictate my life. Or my feelings." You glance nervously towards the sliding glass door, worried that your raised voices might carry inside. The last thing you need is for someone to come investigate. "Please, keep your voice down," you hiss, even as your own emotions threaten to overwhelm you. "No," Lando says, his tone firm but not unkind. "I'm tired of keeping quiet about this. About us." He takes another step closer, close enough that you can smell his cologne, a mixture of citrus and something woody that makes your head spin. His proximity is intoxicating, and you find yourself swaying towards him almost unconsciously.
"Lando," you breathe, your resolve weakening with every passing second. The city lights dance in his eyes, casting shadows across his face that only enhance his features. You can see the determination there, the longing, and it mirrors the ache in your own chest. But he's not listening. His eyes are locked on yours, dark and intense in the city lights. "I can't keep pretending," he murmurs, his voice low and husky. "Can you?" And before you can answer, before you can even think, he closes the distance between you.
His lips crash against yours, urgent and desperate. For a heartbeat, you're frozen, caught between shock and desire. Then, as if a dam has broken, you're kissing him back with equal fervor. Your hands find their way to his curls, fingers tangling in the soft strands as his arms wrap around your waist, pulling you flush against him. The world narrows to this momentâthe taste of him, the warmth of his body, the way your heart threatens to burst from your chest.
It's everything you've been trying to deny, everything you've been afraid to want, distilled into a single, burning instant.
But reality crashes back in like a bucket of ice water, and you jerk away, your eyes wide with panic, breathing hard, your lips tingling and your mind reeling. "We can't," you whisper, your voice trembling. "Lando, we can't do this." Even as every fiber of your being screams to pull him close again. Lando's eyes are wide, his chest heaving as he stares at you, looking as stunned as you feel.
Before he can respond, the sound of the balcony door sliding open makes you both freeze. You take a hasty step back, your heart pounding so loudly you're sure everyone can hear it. Max steps out onto the balcony, his eyes narrowing as he takes in the scene before him. You and Lando are standing suspiciously close, both of you looking flushed and slightly disheveled. The air between you crackles with tension, and for a moment, the only sound is the distant hum of the city below.
"What's going on out here?" Max asks, his tone light but laced with suspicion. His gaze flicks between you and Lando, searching for answers in your expressions. Lando, ever quick on his feet, lets out a low whistle and gestures broadly at the cityscape. "Just admiring the view, mate," he says, his voice only slightly strained. "Can't beat a night like this, can you?" You nod enthusiastically, perhaps a bit too eagerly. "It's gorgeous," you agree, willing your racing heart to slow. "I was just telling Lando how I could stay out here all night."
Max leans against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest. The look he gives you is one you've known since childhoodâthe one that says he's not quite buying what you're selling. "Really?" he drawls. "Because from where I was standing, it looked like you two were having a pretty intense conversation."
You feel your face flush as Max's gaze bores into you, his expression a mixture of concern and growing suspicion. The air on the balcony suddenly feels thick, charged with an uncomfortable tension that even the cool night breeze can't dispel. The city lights twinkle innocently behind you, a stark contrast to the tension crackling in the air. You open your mouth to respond, but the words stick in your throat. Lando shifts beside you, and you can feel the heat radiating off him, a reminder of what just transpired.
"Max," Lando starts, his voice steady despite the circumstances. But Max holds up a hand, silencing him. "Max," Lando repeats, forcing a laugh that sounds hollow even to your ears. "Mate. We were just..."â"No," Max says, his tone sharp. "I want to hear it from my sister." His gaze locks onto you, and suddenly you feel like you're fifteen again, caught sneaking out to a party. Except this is so much worse.
You take a deep breath, willing your voice not to shake. "Max, it's notâ"
"Don't," he interrupts, his eyes flashing. "Don't lie to me. I've seen the way you two have been acting all night. The whispers, the looks. And now I find you out here, alone, looking like..." He gestures vaguely at your disheveled appearance. Your stomach drops as you realize the jig is up. Max's eyes narrow as he looks between you and Lando, taking in your flushed faces, the slight dishevelment of Lando's curls where your fingers had been moments ago.
The silence stretches between you, heavy with unspoken truths. You can hear the muffled sounds of the party inside, laughter and music that seems to belong to another world entirely. A cool breeze ruffles your hair, carrying with it the scent of the city and the faintest trace of Lando's cologne.
"How long?" Max asks, his voice barely above a whisper. "How long has this been going on?" You open your mouth to speak, but no words come out. Lando steps forward, his shoulder brushing yours in a gesture that feels both protective and defiant. "Max," he begins, his voice steady despite the tension thrumming through his body. "It's not what you think."
"Oh really?" Max's laugh is bitter, cutting through the night air like a knife. "Because what I think is that my best friend and my sister have been sneaking around behind my back. Am I wrong?"

At your building, Johnny and Jaehyun helped you drag the spaceman up to your apartment on the third floor, and you had them deposit him on your bed. Johnny brought his travel vet kit up from the car, and together, you managed to get the shiny silver jacket off of him. Underneath, he had a fairly plain white top, which was also torn and blood-soaked. Johnny snapped on a pair of gloves before he pushed the hem up to appraise the strangerâs side, where there was a huge gash in his flesh.
âOh, Christ, okay,â Johnny sighed, inspecting the wound. âI guess Iâll disinfect and suture it up?â
âJust do it,â you mumbled, pressing a towel to the manâs sweat-sheened forehead.
âJaehyun, mind assisting?â
âYou do know the âDr.â I put in front of my name is just decorative, right? Itâs in Poetryââ
âAnd now you can brag to all your colleagues that youâve done real medicine like a real doctor,â Johnny snapped back. âDisinfectant, get it.â
With Jaehyun assisting him, Johnny made quick work of patching him up. Pressing the bandages down over the site so the adhesive would stick, Johnny then disposed of his navy-splattered gloves. He grabbed a stethoscope, putting the end up against the spacemanâs chest.
âI think heâs alive?â Johnny announced. âI donât know. If he is, he doesnât have a heart because Iâm not getting anything.â
He shifted the placement, presumably to listen to his breathing, and an even more bewildered look overtook his features. Sliding the stethoscope over to the right side of the manâs chest, he sat there for a moment, just listening.
âItâs on the other side,â he breathed out. âHis heartâs on the right side.â
âBut he has a heartbeat?â You clarified.
âYeah, he does. Faint, but itâs there. Heâs breathing, too. A bit shallow, but otherwise normal. I think.â
You let out a sigh of relief. âThank God.â
âI donât think thereâs anything else I can do until he wakes up. If he wakes up.â
âRight, thank you Johnny,â you smiled wearily your friend. âIâll call you when he wakes.â
Jaehyun and Johnny looked at each other skeptically. Jaehyun spoke up, âYouâre going to stay here alone with some rando we literally pulled out of a burning hunk of metal?â
âMy couch only fits one person. So unless you two are offering to sleep on the floor to protect me or whatever?â
âCall us if anything happens,â Johnny sighed, packing up all of his supplies.
âOf course,â you nodded. âThanks, guys.â
You heard the sound of your front door clicking shut as you stayed sitting on the edge of your mattress, wiping the spacemanâs face. He really did look human, two eyes that were now shut, lashes resting on his cheeks, a nose practically just like yours, with an elegant slope to the bridge, and a pair of plush, pouty lips.
He let out a soft sigh, his head rolling over towards you. But then he went silent and still again.
You finished cleaning up his face as best you could, then pulled the covers up over him. Readjusting his bangs that had been stuck together by the damp washcloth youâd used, you gave a final determined nod to nobody in particular before standing up. Grabbing a change of pajamas from your dresser, you got everything youâd need from in here for the night, then went to leave.
âAlrightâŚâ You stopped at the threshold of your bedroom, looking over the spacemanâs sleeping figure one last time. âGoodnight, I suppose.â
And with that, you turned the lights out, and quietly closed the door behind you. You were sure to leave it slightly ajar, though, just in case. After taking a much-needed shower and getting ready for bed in your bathroom, you headed out to the living room. You set up a few pillows and blankets into a comfy-enough makeshift bed, then tucked yourself in. Despite the exhaustion in your muscles, the excitement of the night hadnât worn off yet, and you laid awake for another hour just staring at your bedroom door.
Waking up in the morning to sunlight streaming in through your living room windows, you covered your eyes with a groan and rolled over to bury your face in the back cushions. The sound of your phone buzzing incessantly from the coffee table came, however, and with a guttural groan, you flopped back over to pick it up.
âYeah?â You mumbled, not even checking the caller ID.
âY/N?â It was Yuta on the other end.
âWho the fuck else would it be? You called me at whenever-the-fuck-in-the-morning.â
âSomeone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.â
âCouch,â you corrected him, swinging your feet over as you sat up properly. âI slept on the couch.â
âGave E.T. your bed? Such a kind hostess.â
The mention of your guest woke you up more. You got to your feet, shuffling towards the bedroom with a yawn. âYeah, you know me, Iâm a fuckinâ peach.â
âSo howâs theâŚâ Yuta dropped his voice to whisper into the phone, âAlien?â
The door hadnât moved since last night, and you cautiously pushed it open to peer inside. You could see the stranger exactly where you had left him, laying on his back under your blankets, chest shallowly rising up and down. Pushing further into the room, you hesitated on whether to try to find a pulse again. You settled for trying once around his wrist, and if it didnât work, then youâd just have to assume he was fine.
Surprisingly, you found his pulse in one go, and it felt steady.
âFine, I think,â you answered Yuta quietly, walking back over towards your door. âHeâs breathing, he has a heartbeat. Heâs just not⌠ambulatory.â
âStill passed out cold?â
âYeah.â
âImagine if he was in one of those comas that you donât wake up from, and we just had to deal with this comatose alien.â
âStop, youâre going to manifest that or something!â You hissed.
âNot manifesting, just joking.â
âYouâre hilarious.â
âAnyway, some of us went back to the beach this morning, because Mark really wanted to see the UFOââ
âDonât touch anything!â
âWe couldnât. The whole place is locked down. Couldnât even park on the shoulder, it was swarming with cops. They were still putting out the fire.â
âDo you think any of the ship survived?â
âI have no clue. Doyoung said heâd ask his dad about it.â
Doyoungâs dad was the fire chief, making your participation in the conflagration last night even more dicey.
âTell him to call me as soon as he finds out anything.â
âI think he was already planning on that, but Iâll make sure he knows.â
âGood. Also, Iâm sorry for kicking you inâŚâ You trailed off as you turned around to see two big brown eyes staring at you from your bed. âIâve got to go, Yuta. Iâll call you back.â
âWhatâs hapââ
You hung up.

noooo not the n2 ship đ omg people can be so weird sob sob you have more drawings of them as adults and frankly why does it even matter?!? it's not even an illegal ship sob (eg. incest or smth else that normally turns heads in fandoms) if you don't like it, don't read it???? (i personally like it tons!)
-đĽŹ
(About this post)
Well, you know, it's the usual Leojami age difference discourse. I just delete those comments anyway, but I'm glad you like the N2 squad :3
I won't develop too much since I don't want this blog to be about discourse (I'm giving my opinions plenty on my sideblog) but here's what I think about these topics:
-I'm vehemently anti-censorship. I don't think something shouldn't ever exist and I will never push for something to be censored, even if it's stuff that makes me uncomfortable. I think warnings about particular contents are great, but in the end it's my responsibility to curate my experience with banning # and blocking people, etc etc. Even illegal stuff should be portrayed. If people can draw/write about murderers and conmen without a fuss, then they can also do that about taboo/illegal sexual topics. Depiction is not endorsement.
-I believe the reader/viewer is the one who injects meaning to art/stories. I'm an artist and all the things I do mean something, but that meaning doesn't prevail over the meaning my viewers inject in my art. I regularly see people "misreading" my comics in the tags, but it doesn't matter. Their interpretation is just as valid as mine, and if they wanna see ships where I didn't mean to draw ships, or if they interpret a scene as negative when I meant for it to be positive, then it's either my role as the content creator to be more explicit/obvious with what I meant, or to simply let my viewers have fun however they want with my stuff. I don't believe in the "there's only one valid interpretation and everybody who thinks otherwise is wrong".
(That's also why I don't really believe in DNI. People you disagree with will interact with your stuff anyway, caring about those things will just anger and tire you for nothing. I try to avoid interacting with people who have DNI that probably include me? But considering "proship" means anything and nothing it's hard to tell whether N2/LeoJami is considered a proship or not.)
Tldr: I'm anti-censorship and I think everybody should make and enjoy the content they want, even if it's topics that are usually frowned upon. Imagination is the one place one should be able to go hogwild without fearing retribution.
#I'm not even mad at the people threatening me over leojami or coming in my asks to warn about someone I reblog#it's great that they care about topics like incest or problematic age gaps#but there's a difference between reality and fiction and people too often mix both#not everything has to be curated for everybody and (america's) purity culture does more harm than good#(pinpointing âamerica'sâ coz purity culture is incredibly strong there compared to french morals)#anyway I probably shouldn't have said any of those on main but ugh...#at least it's out there#do as you wish with my words - I wont judge#mindless rambling#ask me anything#might delete this later or disable the reblogs who knows

Donât think I ever quite said what my LGBTQ+ headcanons are for the boys, so these are my current thoughts! Always changing of course but this is what I feel most strongly right now.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rise donnie#rise leo#rise mikey#rise raph#donnie and leoâs sexualities being practically swapped was unintentional but it works way too well#same with mikey and raph tbh it was a happy accident#anyway I kinda hc raph as the type who doesnât care about physical appearance just if you fight lol#Mikeyâs more than happy with friends and family#Donnie is a BIG romantic but he needs time to sus a person out fully before he gets the hots for them#leo meanwhile isnât keen on romance unless itâs with someone he grows to really really REALLY trust#I could go on and probably will later (knowing me) but it is late and I am tired haha#turtle art tag#curious as to what everyone else headcanons#the only one of these Iâll defend forever is Bi (female-leaning) donnie and trans leo#all the others can change over time but I really like where theyâre sitting right now#I hope these are the right flags too because it was kinda hard to find them#went looking for transmasc flag in particular but I couldnât find a solid agreed upon version đ#ngl a big part of why I hc mikey as aro is because of a pun#my phone often misspells aromantic as aromatic and- and you get it- because aromatic herbs and- and Mikey is a chef do YOU GET IT#note that while I hc leo as bisexual (male-leaning) I still think heâs prob closer to demi in that as well just not as far into the spectrum#if that makes sense#headcanons are fun and hard to narrow down at the same time alas#I made this in like an hour can you tell djjdjd#I drew them all from memory so if thereâs anything wrongâŚshhh#and if youâre wondering for April and Splinter#Both are Bisexual (female-leaning) but April is also Panromantic#I almost wanna make Splinter demiromantic too so Big Mamaâs betrayal hits just a bit harder

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)
#len speaks#star wars#revenge of the sith#empire strikes back#the force awakens#not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones probâ¤ď¸#i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish#times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it#for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn đ#i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my#current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches#as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the#spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless#i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all#i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats#it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!!#also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might#also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes đ#and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something#bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the#scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind#me to the dialogue lmfaooo

Spoilers for Alan Wake/Control games and DLCs: one of the things I really like in Alan Wake 2 is the confirmation that, no, Alan canât create something out of nothing. There were implications in-story that supported that, but it was good to have that be a big part in the sequel. The AWE control dlc easily made it seem like Alan himself had a role in the events of the game and the formation of the FBC, and, personally, seeing it through that lens cheapened a lot of the game and Jesseâs story. Instead, having his writing influence the Hiss and try to manipulate (even out of desperation) Jesse/the FBC to end Hartman and get help, fit right into plot and conflicts of Alan Wake 2, with Alan being sympathetic, but also an asshole for trying to change and control peopleâs lives in his writing.
#since the awe dlc dropped I was slightly worried that it was going the meta route of Alan writing everything in control#but since Alan wake 2 Iâve been. thank god that wasnât the case đ#this way makes everything more complicated and mysterious. which I appreciate. makes everything creepier#will say. itâs still wild how much Alan can influence the narrative.#light spoilers for the final draft butâ> makes me think of the writers room video where he doesnât know what heâll be at the spirals end#like I donât think heâll be Evil or anything. but itâs unnerving#might delete#Alan Wake 2 my beloved#so many times in that game it couldâve gone a direction that wouldâve lessened or soured the story but somehow it didnât lmao#more game spoilers but for ex: Alice coming back at the end instead of leaving it with her demise in the documentary#when I first saw that it was devastating. but also wasnât sure what to feel if thatâs how sheâs gone from the story#having her actually manipulate her photos. become art to make Alan think she died. go to the dark place and help him and saga#that last video left me Speechless it was so good.#esp after how much I disliked Control (spoilers here) for quickly ending with Dylan in a coma and not much else.#could not be happier with how the AW2 ending played out and the clear love for all its characters#REALLY hope that Control 2 ends in a good or interesting place. give dylan some focus!#not tagging this bc Iâm just yelling my thoughts. but knowing tumblr it will somehow be seen on every tag đľâđŤ

Highly relatable bc I too love both teams and both teams lbs maybe we need a new special lb tag for the like handful of us who love both

twitter is entering their "rts > likes" phase now that likes are private after they spent years calling us ungrateful for being demotivated by ratios lmao
#man fuck yall just support artists you enjoy#dont attack people who dont rb/rt your art (hell they might even have it scheduled) but also dont constantly demand ''content'' from people#ESPECIALLY without telling them that you appreciate the effort they put in to show you cool things they made for free#you should've been rt'ing/rb'ing from the START đ just show people you care!#im just waiting to scroll through post after post of ppl calling out ''entitled artists'' lmao#btw my opinion on the whole thing is painfully neutral if you couldnt tell#i dont think you should care that much about numbers and ppl take it wayyyyyy too far#throwback to that one guy who personally @ everyone who didnt reblog their art that was CRAZY. i would straight up report you KJFGHKG#i also understand and have personally experienced how much engagement can change your mood#a simple ''i love this!'' can make someone's day. it's not hard to understand why ppl like engagement#when they make post after post without so much as a little tag they dont care about sharing anymore#the fact that people call that ''entitlement'' is also crazy#i have a lot of drawings i havent posted or just left nonrebloggable bc it really doesnt make a difference lmao#the only ones i leave rebloggable are the ones that i Know will do well and get attention. like the little pig redraw#if it's cute or funny it gets positive attention. anything else is shit on here lmao#it's just not as fun to share. it either leads to no engagement or negative engagement#would rather have nothing than something rude so whatever#some ppl say it's always been like this but no it absolutely was not always like this#idk what exactly caused the change. probably a lot of factors#could even just be the fandoms i hang around in! but considering i've seen the same sentiment from a bunch of ppl i doubt it's that#the best solution to no engagement is to just make friends and have fun#but 90% of the internet is hostile and negative and rude for no fucking reason#when i unfollowed someone on my old public twitter and they @ me over it. damn i dont know why but NOW i know why đ#this post has gone way off course im just ranting at this point. i havent talked in a while hi how have you guys been#work was a lot yesterday and today is too slow (im not at work im just going crazy in my house)#(and i cant leave my house bc there's construction blocking the road someone save me)#chat

dating an art student was so crazy I'm just thinking abt that one birthday I had where my ex got me stickers from the etsy of the person they were cheating on me with....
#they made them address the thank you note to me and everything ajskfjfkfb. i didnt know they were cheating at the time but wow...#every time i break out my sticker collection and see them im reminded of it. but i cant throw out the stickers theyre deltarune ones đ#like they were a rly cool artist.... just unfortunate that happened đ#the drama was insane. my ex only wanted to sleep with them but they (other person) wanted them to break up with me so they could date#but my ex dumped them rly harshly for suggesting that i guess 'romantic' cheating was a step too far even for them lmaooo#i heard abt their breakup secondhand and god could they be cruel sometimes. they made fun of the sex theyd had w them#to all their mutual friends n everything i actually felt so bad for the other person when i found out. at least our breakup wasnt that bad#i only finally got that cruel side of them directed towards me like a year after when they wanted us to stop being friends#but yeah. its also funny in a way bc my ex only suggested i had adhd bc the other person did too + struggled a lot with rsd#which i guess they found out when they broke up with them. and then looked at that and thought huh my gf is kind of similar...#and this was like. 2 years before i even considered i had adhd myself and sought diagnosis ahdkfidjcjdjfjfjfkdbfnf#this made me go look the other persons art page up on instagram + then i recognised some of their friends/flatmates art pages and i found#their (my exs that is) grad year film which is still being shown at animation festivals... good for them good for them#i dont think they have an art page themselves tho cuz they were always v shy and weird abt sharing art on social media#like everyone else except them is tagged on things... shame i wouldve liked to see what they were making now. even if we're not friends#also one of their old roommates made some REALLY similar squid game fanart to mine like a month after i posted it huh..#not mad abt it or anything i think its cool i just didnt realise they showed my art to their friends. thats cute#ah this was years ago anyway. getting my head out of the rabbit hole#im gonna go play some elden ring and then maybe do smth fun in my sketchbook we shall seeee#.diaries

er... extreme amount of dragon age: the veilguard scribbles to soothe my heartđŚââŹđ
#dragon age tag#datv spoilers#dragon age veilguard spoilers#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#da:tv spoilers#LOL just in case. does anyone care. no-one cares. even making this unrebloggable bc it's all about my rook nobody should care#this is such a huge amount of art it might crash so im going to post it before i say any more tags i guess#ok it didnt crash. i played this not caring that much about dragon age. i liked da2 for the romance. but i never even finished 1 or 3#i thought it was Ok for the first 20 hours with annoying parts. But..then i got really attached out of nowhere. i love falling in love#wait there isnt much else to say to myself. i want to play again but i dont want my initial feelings to be overwritten#i like not knowing whats going to happen......really going through it... like bg3 dark urge.....đ#i cried a lot and was freaking out near the end. Too much goin on..whyd it have to end#and i wouldn't even do anything different..i'd still save X town over Y town..OBVIOUSLY!!!!!! and how could i not be mourn watch...#thats WHAT HAPPENED!!! TO ME AS ROOK!!!! Well anyway......walks away#i actually don't know whether it's always those two towns or not. haven't looked up anything don't discuss it etc#wait i drew so much. bg3 meant TOO much so i wouldn't draw anything like this for that. this feels weird too. Let's leave it there.#returns to the personal contemplation chamber far away from this cruel and noisy world. I dont need anything but the chamber#i wish i could go back to playing it & blocking out the world. so hard when that ends. all i have now is the chamber...#Hm? didn't you just say that's all you need? Oh cai.

hi, (usually) Whiteâ˘ď¸ ppl of tumblr - I am on my knees Begging u to stop making poetry and oc-themed art about Palestine when u usually admit in these same posts that u donât even have friends, let alone family or similar history there. like please could u ever read the room . I get sum of the ppl doing this r young and mean well but itâs not right . There r plenty of Palestinian users whoâve been posting poetry and art inspired by their home (and even some not ! Some users post fandom content like anime/kpop art if youd prefer) + I strongly suggest signal boosting those creators over blocking up the tags with smth that frankly . Comes off as v self-centered đ
#inb4 smn gives me grief for it - thatâs White w a trademark ! I know there are colonised white ppl ! I am one !#if the shoe doesnât fit then Iâm glad !! u can ignore this post ! anyways#at least donât tag it on the tag ppl go to for supporting Palestinians directly đ god#I havenât tagged/linked any artists bc I donât want 2 potentially freak them out or anything lol but I could compile a non-tag list ?#when I get a chance later#bc I hate saying things like this and not providing a solution#I donât know how else to say this tho : this isnât ur pain to derive art from#and itâs very weird that youâd ever try đ#free palestine

okay "juno is complaining for fun" warning â ď¸
anyways i saw someone draw Guz with like. thick muscley body. and then they said "if pk.mn was realistic everyone would be in love w this guy bc he's actually hot" AND IM FBDJDJDKL . dear stranger ... i think you've forgotten his canonical appearance bc ur wearing ur bara glasses. that guy is scrawny in both the manga and the anime. he looks weird and off-putting in the manga and he looks grouchy in the anime. u have chosen to give him a thick muscled bod, a design that is widely considered to be peak attractiveness for men. u can do whatever u want in ur own personal designs and headcanons but pls remember they are not actually canon fjdkdl, I love my own Guz design but i am not gonna say shit abt canon bc I've strayed so far from it at this point LMAO
idk just smth about taking away all the interesting features of a character's design to replace them w the most boring bland bs and then saying "ermm yeah guys this dude is hot actually, idk why no one else sees it" is so funny to me DBDJDKSL
#if ur going to change the interesting features of a design then at least replace them w Other interesting features.....#but noooo ur gonna take the scrawny weirdo and turn him into a bara lookin guy AND THEN NOT EVEN GIVE HIM BODY HAIR đđđ AUGGHHH#dandy.cmd#complaint box#<- idk maybe a new tag to block SBDHDKL this isnt going in vent tag bc i dont count it as venting djdkdl#like i said earlier this doesn't actually bother me much and i dont rly care#it just makes me laugh and shake my head a little bit more than anything else LOL
