my tags are gonna be a little heated.

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

Slippery slope

A short sexy smoker smut story (actually just a drabble but story has an s and I wanted that)

He wants to obey the marine's "no sex" rule, but like every rule he needs to interpret it. Just a little more...

Smoker is dating you. You're his subordinate - too bad there's a rule against fraternization in the marine.

He may not like the rules, but he has to live by them. Kind of.

He is pretty sure that it just means actual sex is forbidden, so he thinks it's okay to make out with you, as long as nothing sexual happens.

So after a long day, he decides to kiss you and hold you in his arms just for a bit. You taste so good, you're so warm and sweet, he cannot help but get a bit more demanding in his kisses.

As things get more heated, he decides that touching your breasts is still OK, no breaking of rules here. So he pushes up your shirt and bra to pinch your nipples and squeeze them. Since touching is permitted, he may just as well suck on your nipples.

When you start to moan and rub against him, he is pretty sure that it would be rude to just let you hang like that. After all, it's not sex if no one sticks anything anywhere down there. He starts to touch your vuvla, through your trousers. It already feels hot and you obviously need more. It's a bit awkward, with all the cloth between his hand and you. He decides just hand stuff is absolutely safe. As long as his Penis isn't involved, it's no fraternization.

He sticks his hands in your pants to rub your clitoris, you're super slick and hot. Feeling up and down between your folds, circling your clitoris, his fingers get wet and slippery. Mainly by accident, his fingers slide inside of you, oops!

Now that he's already here, might as well fuck you with his fingers. He knows that he has big hands, it's surely already satisfying to you. So wet and soft, how great would it feel against his cock?

No, that's forbidden!

Although his boner does start to hurt as he's getting more and more worked up. His hand is now moving in and out of you fast, the wet sound, mixed with your moans, it's too much. He drops his pants, just to alleviate the pain, nothing more.

Seeing you on your back, panties pushed to the side and breasts naked, he thinks it would be such a waste if he didn't at least get a little taste of you.

As long as it doesn't go in, it's still absolutely fine, no worries! He rubs the hot, red head of his cock between your labia and almost cums from the sensation. Your wetness makes it glide effortlessly, the head is large and tickles all the right spots between your legs. The crown of his cock already gatheres your wetness in thick strands.

It's so slick, he glides into by accident.

"Fuck" he mutters as he looks at the delicious sight of what he has just done. But it's just the tip. If it's not in all the way it can hardly be called sex, he assures himself.

The man is huge, his cock is, too. Just the tip is stretching your entrance wide as it glides in and out, just a bit.

"Feels so good..." Smoker moans, and loses control for just a split second. His hips jerk involuntary and his cock glides in all the way, hitting the end of your vagina.

"FUCK" He curses. But well, now it happened. He won't break the rules any more than he already has, might as well fuck you all night.

Sebastian Stan on His Cristian Mungiu Film, the ‘Brutalist’ Role He Almost Played, Actors on Actors, and Battling for ‘The Apprentice’

The surprise Golden Globe winner tells IndieWire why the industry remains "apprehensive" about his Donald Trump role and about new indie projects with Mungiu and Justin Kurzel.

BY RYAN LATTANZIO

If you don’t watch Marvel movies, then you don’t know Bucky Barnes, which means you only know Sebastian Stan as the also-indie actor behind films like 2024’s “A Different Man” and “The Apprentice.” Both movies have put him in the awards race, and possibly the Oscar running, especially after his grimly funny, pathos-spiked turn as a self-loathing, out-of-options actor with neurofibromatosis in Aaron Schimberg’s “A Different Man” won him a surprise Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. That night, he was also nominated for Best Actor in a Drama for “The Apprentice,” where he plays a ’70s New York-era Donald Trump.

Had scheduling gone a different path, he would’ve starred in Brady Corbet’s also-Oscar-contending “The Brutalist,” but Stan had plenty on his plate last year and into this one, setting him up for his biggest awards season run yet. His transformative Trump performance in director Ali Abbasi’s “The Apprentice” has been celebrated since the film‘s 2024 Cannes premiere. Top distributors shunned the film until rookie releaser Briarcliff Entertainment got on board in August 2024, billionaire investor Dan Snyder tried to wrangle creative control and block the release, and, eventually, Stan’s peers declined the chance to speak with the American-Romanian actor in Variety’s popular Actors on Actors series, a major platform for awards contenders. Stan has been candid about not finding a sparring partner for the publication’s viral program. Why not? People don’t want to go near a movie about the incumbent president, including American audiences ($4 million domestic).

Speaking with IndieWire over the phone, Stan said that once he went public with why he wasn’t participating in Actors on Actors, “A lot of friends called me and said, ‘Hey let’s go do this together.’ That was obviously very thoughtful and very kind, but for us, Ali, Jeremy [Strong, who plays lawyer Roy Cohn], that was nothing really new.” (Last November, Variety’s editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh told IndieWire, “We invited [Stan] to participate in ‘Actors on Actors,’ the biggest franchise of awards season, but other actors didn’t want to pair with him because they didn’t want to talk about Donald Trump.”)

Stan continued, “We had been facing that kind of a thing since Cannes, whether it had even been photo shoots promoting the film, or certain people that were like, ‘We don’t want to go near this.’ Every interview since Cannes, we’ve been asked, ‘How’s the reception been? Why do you think studios are apprenehsive?’ This is sadly the reality. We have a lot of people who love this film or say they do, but when it comes down to jumping in the fire a little bit … hesitancy is understandable, to some extent.”

While understanding the emotional component around not wanting to see a movie about a leader and convicted felon who is on TV every second of the news day, Stan said, “However, around hesitancy, there’s also a slippery slope toward indifference, and that complements fear. That’s the only distinction we have to keep trying to make. You can rightfully own, ‘Hey, this isn’t for me,’ or ‘I don’t want to go there.’ But in terms of ‘I’m too worried, I’m too scared, I don’t want to get in hot water,’ then it’s like, what’s the next thing that becomes OK to not want to deal with it because it’s uncomfortable? We didn’t understand what was so uncomfortable about the movie.”

“The Apprentice” received mixed reviews at Cannes, though I remember in my festival screening being surrounded by European journalists laughing their heads off because they see Trump as a comic figure. Many Americans do not, and with “The Apprentice,” we don’t yet have the benefit of hindsight because we’re still living in the Trump era.

“Usually what happens is you look at movies like ‘Nixon’ or the movie ‘Downfall,’ which is about Hitler, [the movies] happen years later. We’ve had time to process our emotions about it, and we’ve had some distance so we can go back and look at what went wrong or what we [believed] at the time,” Stan said. “You don’t have that luxury [with ‘The Apprentice’]. We don’t have the luxury of not dealing with this person.”

Going back to his moment winning the Globe for “A Different Man,” it’s been a mixed blessing for double nominee Stan.

“There was this unbelievable kind of moment at the Globes that I never really thought was ever going to happen, and you have a brief moment of that, and suddenly, anything can flip,” he said of L.A. going into panic mode right after the Globes amid the ongoing wildfires in Southern California. “In terms of Mother Nature… at the end of the day, it really is just people. We’re all in the same boat there. There’s nothing to differentiate or anything. We are all pretty much in the same boat.”

After he’s finished with awards season duties, Stan expects to head to Europe in March to film the new film from Palme d’Or-winning auteur Cristian Mungiu, which brings the “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” filmmaker’s usual moral ambiguity into a real-life case of abuse in Romania. He’ll be reuniting with “A Different Man” star Renate Reinsve for the film, which will shoot in Romanian, English, and Norwegian.

“With all of these smaller indies, I always feel even while I’m on the plane going there, I’m always worried, ‘Is the financing going to come through? It’s on its way,” Stan said. “He’s been up there with me for a few years with filmmakers from Romania where I’ve been calling him trying to find a way to work with him, where I can speak Romanian as well. We finally found this story, which is about a Romanian family who’s moved to Norway and then ends up in this very complicated trial. There’s a system [that] investigates cases if there’s ever been physical abuse in the household between the parents or the kids. They go investigating the family for an incident, and it leads to this trial. It happened before the pandemic, and it became national news. There were a lot of religious communities that came to their side, and it’s really interesting and quite complicated.”

Stan has also been instrumental in shepherding the next film from Australian “The Order” director Justin Kurzel, “Burning Rainbow,” about a true Waco-style FBI standoff that brought down a pro-marijuana campground in Michigan a week before 9/11. He’s attached to star in the story of Tom Crosslin and Rolland Rohm, a gay couple defending their land amid police investigations linked to a Rainbow Farm festival-associated killing and their marijuana plants.

“They were raising a child as well,” Stan said. “They were real activists in some ways, and they were very controversial as well because they were running this Rainbow Farm, which was like the start of this Woodstock-style festival that was bringing all these people together, advocating for legalizing marijuana. It was also such a loving place. They were attracting a lot of attention from local authorities, and a lot of controversies were going on down there. It all happened before 9/11, so there are many people who don’t know this story. But I’ve known about it for six years or something. I’ve been tracking it through different evolutions, and it finally landed with Justin. I was tracking him now for two years to basically give me a chance, and finally, I think we’ve got to go and find all the other people.”

As for “The Brutalist,” Stan was announced to star in Brady Corbet’s Golden Globe Best Picture winner in 2019, but scheduling changes on “The Apprentice” interfered. (“The Brutalist” shot in early 2023; “The Apprentice” didn’t film until that fall after a few false starts.) Stan would’ve played Joe Alwyn’s role, Harry Lee Van Buren, the pompous son of Guy Pearce’s moneyed industrialist who exploits Adrien Brody’s Jewish-Hungarian architect.

“I’m glad that the timing [didn’t work out] … The difficulty of that movie is astounding. What they were able to achieve. Some of us would be attached. I was sort of the last one, but then [Corbet] started to go. Because ‘Apprentice’ kept getting pushed, those two started to overlap at one point. I wasn’t available for it, but having seen the movie, Joe is amazing in it, and I would have been too old by that point anyway. I feel like it worked out for the best. It makes total sense with Guy being his father,” Stan said.

As for how Stan’s indie roles fit into the Marvel orbit, especially as he’ll be seen in “Thunderbolts” this spring again as Bucky Barnes, he said, “If I hadn’t had so many opportunities with Marvel with that character alone and creatively what I got to do, I don’t know if I would have been as driven to go in this other direction as well and try to find things that I’m not always at the top of mind for. I believe, like Brady Corbet, films are a directors’ medium. It is about the filmmaker. We have to trust the filmmakers. The best films to me, in my experiences, were with really strong directors with these strong points of view. It’s been amazing to watch Brady. I was attached to that film for a long time, going back to 2019, so I’ve known of that movie and have known Brady since we were kids auditioning. I would see him at casting calls, him and his mom. Even watching him up there on Sunday felt like I’d been weirdly attached to that story as well.”

Get ready for yet another analysis of Count Olaf's behavior. Every time I make one of these I feel like I have to explain that I'm not justifying his actions but there's just so much complexity to him. Especially for someone who hides behind so much shenanigans. And honestly, the man is a psychopath, right, and he's one of the most chaotic fictional characters i can think of. The reason he is so interesting is because a character so chaotic and careless of his own well-being, doesn't usually last long enough to allow us a deep analysis of their unhinged behavior. Speaking of, let's talk about the way Olaf repeatedly tries to murder the Baudelaire children in drastically horrific ways such as decapitation, only to occasionally try to preserve their lives and keep them. Ok so, we know he needed at least one for the fortune, but that excuse doesn't explain all his behavior. Especially considering how rich Esme was, he didn't even need the fortune. There's definitely an element of being obsessed with the chase, he thrives on it sure. But how about his attempts at making them his henchpeople? I offer two reasons for this contradiction and he's so messed up, maybe both apply. I propose that 1. He believes corrupting them and making them his slaves is the best way to get revenge on their parents/corrupting them would make it easier to convince himself that becoming a monster wasn't really his fault. And 2. in a manner of speaking, he becomes attached. As far as corrupting them goes, he accepted their "help" without hesitation in the Penultimate Peril because it made sense to him they would be as disillusioned as he was and want to lash out. He thinks they HAVE been corrupted, and he's pleased. Yet, just before this, in the books, the children use their skills for him for once, and he is openly impressed by the things he previously mocked them for. I think he was secretly impressed the whole time, always wondering how they pulled off these unlikely escapes. They lost their parents, just like he did and he knows what that feels like. Its not confirmed whether it was by Olaf's hands but i hold to the idea that he was at least involved. Maybe a small part of him feels responsible for making them feel the way he felt. They've experienced horrible things, definitely by his hands, but they stuck to their principles. Sure this is part of why he hates them, it frightens him. If he recognizes they are right, its the same as recognizing he is wrong. It means in a way, they are stronger than him and he desperately wants to prove they are wrong and he is stronger. But I think a tiny piece of him can't help but admire them too. Later, in The End, he accepts them as his henchpeople strangely quick, and constantly repeats that offer despite their disinterest. Yes, he no longer has any henchpeople, but the Baudelaires have never been conformable to his wishes, it doesn't make sense to try so hard to keep them just because he needs new "employees." The harpoon incident is a good example of his attachment to them. Its slightly different between the book and show because the book indicates Olaf would have forced himself to go through with it and in the show he stands down. When finally given the opportunity to kill them easily and all at once, he struggles and cannot do it. Proving that at some point, he changes his viewpoint and doesn't REALLY want to kill them. He was relieved when they turned out to be alive in the Slippery Slope, even if he tried to play it off as being about the fortune. Which I know, its about THAT fortune, on "principle" but still. By the end of the show, he has changed his priorities from killing the children to keeping them. Don't get me wrong, he would have been horrible to them. But I think his plan was to do to them what his mentors did to him. As a side note, I love that as Olaf begins to associate himself with them, it works vice versa. They wonder if they ARE becoming as bad as him. Which is kinda sad to read/watch, because, of course they aren't. Don't you just want to reassure them?

[lloydfrontera]

Hello! Did Javier or Frontera couple actually never find out that Original Lloyd and Kim Suho shared the same soul????

That's so sad :"(

they don't :( but to be fair neither does lloyd. as far as i know, this is an audience exclusive revelation and no one in-universe knows about it.

and tbh i'm kinda glad? i don't know, i much prefer that the affection and love that exists between the frontera family and suho come from their own experiences and the relationship they built by themselves rather than because it turned out suho was their own child all along. i think it would cheapen the found family aspect of it all.

as it is, i think it was... not a bad decision on bk moon's part to make the twist, but only because he waited to drop the bomb til the last chapter, once all the relationships had already been developed on their own. had it been on the middle of the novel, there would've always been the doubt of "oh is he doing all of this because they were his family in his previous life? does he actually care for them or does he just feel guilty? do they only love each other because they were biological family once?" and honestly it would've sucked, i hate just thinking about it lol

as it is, i think it's already a slippery slope, i've already seen a couple comments about how suho is the way he is because of og lloyd's feelings and guilt and like,,,, No ajsdhjka

for one thing suho has no recollection of his previous life, he's not at all affected by og lloyd's guilt or memories, everything he does, everything he feels is because of his own lived experiences and character. to attribute everything he accomplishes to the last split second resolution of a man who never cared enough to do something for himself or his family in his own life, would be a disservice to his character and honestly, kind of a let down if that's what bkm was going for.

and for another, i just think it's way more poignant to have lloyd find a family that loves and cares for him, not because of blood ties or same-soul shenanigans, but because of who he is and what he's done. it would be kind of disappointing for the story to say "they only care for each other because they were biological family before" because,,, then what was the point of the build up, of their relationship development, of the slowburn of lloyd coming to accept that not only does he sees arcos and marbella as parents but that he deserves their love too. it would negate how big of a choice it was for the fronteras themselves to decide that they loved lloyd, even knowing he wasn't their son, that they cared for him not as a replacement but as his own person, that they trusted him even after the deception, that they wanted him to come home and be part of their family.

all of that would be kind of cheapened if everyone knew that suho's previous life was og lloyd, because then what's the big problem, it's still the same soul, it's basically the same person, they were already family once, no big deal to be family again, everything is wrapped up in a neat little bow with no loose ends and they can carry on their merry lives without facing the big difficult emotions that come with all of the previously mentioned dilemmas.

ok maybe i'm exaggerating a little, i do think there would be very interesting feelings to explore if they did end up knowing about it, but let's be honest, they wouldn't have been explored in canon lol. this is not the kind of novel to explore the grand dilemmas that come with a reincarnated soul making amends for the faults it committed in its previous life and that's okay, not every novel can be.

but i don't know. perhaps i just like the found family trope more than the 'they were related all along' one even if it's just soul wise askjdlafkd

again this is just the way i see things, if you feel differently that's also perfectly okay and i would love to talk about it if you guys want! i'm just. being silly :3

[seabugsbaby]

babes!!!!! need help deciding somethin abt my Rotting of the Lamb au. @puppydogwithlargeeyes specifically. (no pressure ofc) but also everyone else!!!!!

explanation under the cut bc this is abt to be a longggg post

(cw: mention of abusive character)

ok so. my original idea for The Rotting of the Lamb was that Lacey would sacrifice her time n safety n comfort to help all the bishops make up and live happy mortal lives. she'd sort of expose them to the good abt mortality and help them thru their emotions w unconditional positive regard. she also helps Camilo almost be at peace.

then one day there's a new realm where the doors to darkwood and such should be. n it's Rin, in the purgatory Camilo put her in. So they do the whole defeat-and-spare thing but Nari is adamant that they need to kill her and she's going to destroy them n Camilo is just so overwhelmed that they dip. Lacey puts Rin in jail to put off the decision until Camilo comes back.

Eventually they do, and they want Lacey's happy dream world to be realized, so they let her try to help Rin. But Rin isn't like the others. Lacey doesn't know how to begin to make her better. n later on she realizes that Rin's been hurting Camilo again and Lacey is actively enabling it by letting her be there. She has a huge fight with Rin where she does an act of divine wrath--sending Rin to a purgatory where she lives out Camilo's old life as her vessel, dying again and again and again. That's what makes her ascend. ofc there's more but that's a summary of the relevant parts.

Here's the problems with that. It feels off to have a second party be the one to 'resolve' the abusive situation between Camilo and Rin. It makes that situation into a plot device. But w Lacey's character, Rin's continued abuse toward her mirror--who she understands more than anyone n the only one who rly understands her--is the only thing that would make her have that act of wrath. Like Rin is a ticking time bomb for Lacey. Everything Lacey hates. And Camilo isn't going to resolve things w Rin themselves--they're going to keep destroying themselves until something gets in the way. Back when they killed her the first time, they hadn't seen what their life could be like. Now seeing Nari and Lacey (and the rehabilitation of the bishops) makes them hold onto hope that Rin will change.

Another problem is that her retaliation isn't rly "rotting of purity," and feels off for the name of the au. It's just retaliation against an abusive party. She does go crazy w it (finally saying she doesn't want Rin there, something she's felt but never said nor acted on, and making her 'disappear') but it still feels off bc she's just putting her feelings ahead of everyone else's for once. That could add to the unfairness of the situation (like godhood doesn't care abt cruelty vs retaliation, u ascend anyway) but idk.

BUT!!!!!!!!!

i thought of a second option. Lacey actually does sacrifice something for Camilo's happy ending. Her powers, or something like that. Maybe she sacrifices her mortalhood. But she gives something huge that she actually doesn't want to give to bring Camilo a "good end" version of Rin(?) Something like that--a good ending for Camilo. Maybe thru the mystic seller. And over time, she gets more and more resentful, but she shoves it down. Eventually she kills Rin for taking her happy ending, and that causes her ascension (if she's not ascending already.) it's still an act of divine wrath and a rotting of purity. N if she's already ascending, it's an act that officially 'rots' her. Slippery slope type deal.

The only issue is that Camilo would still have memories of Rin's abuse n it feels kinda off to resolve that thru adding in "non-abusive version of abuser." N it feels a little like Lacey just suddenly turning evil, instead of a twist of her normal psyche. BUT she would be rotting AND she would have actually sacrificed too much, instead her sacrifice being more of a metaphor.

idk. if anyone's gotten this far, lemme know what u think.

[lazuli-starlight]

Please stop looking down on stuff the younger generations like. Please stop calling the stuff young kids say brainrot. Yes even "Skibbdi Sigma" or whatever. WE WERE THE SAME. "Oh but we were never *that* bad" Yes we were. "Oh but we were not ipad kids and ticktock is terrible and has made the kids stupid" Listen we grew up on the internet we looked the same to the older generations. And before that were the kids that grew up on TV.

Look lets not go on the slippery slope of looking down on the culture of the younger generations. Cuz that could lead us to engaging in some very "Ok Boomer" type behavior later on.

[thenewfuture]

(To Nagito) first step is realizing not everyone will forgive you, and that’s ok and their right.

Yeah, I realize that...

.......

Hey, Nagito...

Huh?

Let me tell you something, a little story from my past.

You may that although now I'm a nurse, I used to be quite a delinquent back in the day. Running with gangs on my bike, hitting the streets and destroying property, even other people at times. I made alooooot of enemies back then.

Then I got pregnant, and I had to change my ways.

I did my best to become a stable woman, I tried apologizing for all I've done and even paid for the damages I've caused.

Some forgave me, some didn't. It took a long, long time to get the past behind me, and even now to this day, some still don't forgive me for what I've done...

What I'm trying to say is this; even if people don't forgive you right away after apologizing...even if people will still hate you after going through the effort to change...

The only thing that truly matters, if is you like yourself going through this change, and truly regret what you've done.

..........

I....I think I do...

Well then, there you go kid.

You gotta learn to love yourself, before others can love you. All about that self image and positive attitude.

It's your life kid, no matter what rocky roads or slippery slopes you take; it's yours to live. And no one can lead you down it but yourself. You're just a messed up kid but you'll get there eventually. *She pats his head*

Hahaha...th-thank you....

.......

Hey, Servant.

Hmm?

I still don't like all the things you said to me and how I was hunted in that game in Towa City.

But, if you're willing to change this much and go through the work....I think I learn to.....tolerate you...

Hahaha, I'll take it.

Awww, even you're changing too Kan-kan!~ Such a good girl~

Nnngghh, don't pinch cheeks, stop!

[dotthings]

And now I'm up to Fringe 2.15 - Peter. This episode is so beautifully filmed and acted. Definitely among the very best of the whole series.

Soooo interesting rewatching this. It wasn't as simple as Walter can't let go of his son. Walter loved Peter and he grieved deeply, but he was able to let go because he knew another Peter was out there in the other universe, would grow up, and have the things his Peter couldn't. Walter clung to that. When the other Peter's life was endangered, Walter broke rules, to cross over himself, to save the other Peter's life. When the serum bottle broke, he broke rules again to take the other Peter back with him, still only to borrow, he still thinks, to save his life, and he'll return him. But Walter's ability to let go of his son is precarious. Once Elizabeth has the other Peter in her arms, and Walter sees the look on her face, that's it, Walter's own resolve shatters.

Without Elizabeth there, would he have returned the other Peter, maybe, maybe not. Walter already did a universe breaking thing to cross over with the serum, and then again to borrow the other Peter to take him back across. So one more--keeping the other Peter instead of returning him--what's one more inch on the slippery slope Walter already flung himself down, going against what he knows about how the universe works, knowing the risks, shutting down the arguments from his lab assistant, who quotes Oppenheimer at him to warn him.

Even though he says he intended to return the other Peter, I'm not sure he would have been able to, even without Elizabeth.

Walter's such a complicated character, one of the most complicated characters in genre tv. Is he the villain of Fringe or the hero. He acts as a grieving father, he acts out of love, does that make it ok, it's understandable, but he did it knowing there would be consequences and did it anyway. Characters who cross the line for the sake of someone they love have their appeal. But in Walter's case, he knew it would be universe breaking and did it anyway. He wasn't so out of his mind with grief that he didn't know. He did think. He did it anyway. He stole someone else's child.

But it's hard to be too hard on him. He loved his son dearly. He did it for Peter. For his son. He couldn't save his Peter, he will save the other Peter and then loves a Peter who isn't his actual son every bit as deeply and strongly as if Peter were his own.

[eeemarvel]

My level of insanity is as follows: i invented a fake thing for my fic and it is a thing that I have yet to fully explore in the fic itself because I have plans for it, you see, but because I haven't truly written anything for it yet, I don't have any notes on it so it is hard to plan my upcoming chapters which is why I thought "Oh, OK, I'll just log onto AO3 and search the entire fic for this keyword to read every instance in which it appears to make sure that I don't write new content that retcons current content but AO3 is DOWN so I'm just sat here wondering if I should just go ahead and write about the thing or wait a day which is honestly such a slippery slope for me because the longer I wait to write, the harder it is for me to start writing again but when all is said and done, this all could've been avoided if I just kept detailed notes on upcoming plot points like a normal writer instead of just letting my memory of all things take over things because look where that left me (although if I'm being completely real with myself, I could've sworn I had an ENTIRE DOCUMENT'S WORTH of information on the very thing because I can remember very exact lines of info but it's just nowhere to be found in my google docs so I might be losing it a little). Anyway see you guys next year I guess.

I love that the minute AO3 goes down everyone collectively flocks to this website to ask the same question with varying levels of insanity attached

ok here's 3 untitled poems; probably a bit too bogged down in simple structure but like :3 I kind of like these

Untitled #1:

The tress in the forest harken to me, Their shade a beckoning respite.

The chirping of the birds a beautiful melody, Their whistle soothes my soul.

The trails wander through the woods Their history makes me feel less alone.

The river rushes through the ground. Its beauty leave me in awe

Yet the city's lights remain bright Its noise what drove me away.

Untitled #2:

Can you see the tree in front of you? So tall yet fraught with branches, nigh never-ending Each new meter holds a thousand stories.

Can you hear the wind sprinting through the field Forcing its way through each blade of grass You're already acquainted, go say hello back.

Can you smell the rain as it kisses your arm Clearing the air and ground to start again Our only messenger from the skies above

Can you feel the bug as it crawls up your leg Searching, like all of us for some stability It cannot be blamed when it bites your skin

(Editor's note: this next stanza was stricken through)

can you taste the rocks Can you taste the air taste the tree the wind rain bug

Can you sense your mind, finally awake Searching for answers at the end of the poem.

Untitled #3: I

Hunting for novelty like the old is a virus, Begging to forget what you made more than trauma Refusing even one drop of old ink, don't recycle Fantasizing more similarities than a teenager in love Letting the gears stop and rust until new ones fall from the sky II Hunting for novelty as the darkness closes in Begging to forget there's a world outside the box Refusing even one thought to cross your mind Fantasizing more similarities to utopia, pretend it's all okay Letting the gears of the machine carry you where they please III Hunting for novelty, don't let it be extinct Begging to forget you were discontent with your gift Refusing even one day without fighting to get back Fantasizing more similarities between who you were and who you are Letting the gears slowly get back up to speed IV Hunting for novelty, it has to be contained Begging to forget the rules I've forced on myself Refusing even one exception, "it's a slippery slope" Fantasizing more similarities until you are the hero Letting the gears turn as they've always turned

Micha version history timeline woooooo

so micha has been my oc since the sixth grade technically but there’s lots of versions of him so let’s yak about them

So before we talk about micha we need to talk about a character called mars

Mars came 3 years before micha and is sort of the opposite of him mars was cold a heavy rules follower and a soldier of justice with a really repressed desire to do bad things

Micha was made during a really old thing I did in my first oc world ever. You see at the time I made a crossover between paper Mario and the origami king and just shapes and beats and thought “huh what if I put my ocs in a similar situation” so I did with the enemy being a girl clover I made and all you need to know about her for this story is that she has this stuff I just called the pink and it would take aspects of a persons personality and take them to extremes to make them a perfect spreader of the pink and her subject

ok fr let’s talk about micha now

micha was made when mars got shot by the pink but only a little and it slowly started jacking with his personality and he started getting way more chaotic and smiley and fell down a slippery slope of betraying his friends until mars was gone and there was only Micha! Micha got to be what mars wasn’t he did things on impulse for feel good happy chemicals helped whoever benefited him the most at the time and he was pink and mars was blue (silly colors yay)

I think I liked the concept of micha a lot so I ended up using him on his own without mars after a certain point

There was cult micha where he was kidnapped with the express purpose of being used at the vessel for this messed up demon thing and it loved making him do bad thing a and would reward him for doing them and they broke this guy down until he and this demon were basically the same thing thus making him the perfect host

I later decided tho that bro deserved a personality and in the good ol 8th grade I watched a Minecraft YouTube video that gave me the idea for the next micha

So this was the first micha with ghosts except the world he was in was much more fantasy and the three titular ghosts were actually defeated by Micha and then the rest is pretty similar to his modern version save for the part where he gets ripped in half and crawls out of hell to go defeat his messed up half

Death game micha

So it’s kinda just micha personality with no ghosts and thrown in a death game with a couple other ocs for fun pretty unimportant but he had a cool friendship with a guy from another oc world with a similar predicament in his original world lol

and then we make it to modern micha yay

so yea my guys had a lotta history and I love him lots he’s gotta be one of my favorite ocs

hey so im new to the fandom cause i realized i am into it.. May i ask , if its normal to just have a default kink? I vividly remember watching videos about this before I was conscious, and id grind.. I, personally dont enjoy it, cause i find it weird, and a lot does too... im just turned on by it and idk why.. 😭😭😭

im going to be straight with you, I def not the best person to ask this question to at all! Hell i would 100% recommend asking anyone else.

i myself am still rather 'new' to the kink community as an whole (technically ive been doing this shit for years but im super on and off with it so i dont really count it)

but ill try to give some sort of answer (i would highly recommend asking others and looking at articles/reasearch papers so dont just take my word and run with it cause im probs wrong).

This is my first time hearing the term 'default kink' but i assume it mainly refers to having a kink in concept. Like how you would tell someone you liked piss broadly than saying omo specifically (I could be 100% wrong, i would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the true definition cause i couldnt find any thing about that term TT). Which in that sense i would thinks its fine, like imo its fine to have a kink that you dont really want to participate in but find it hot.

(From this point onwards Im mainly talking out of my ass, feel free to skip if its not really answering your question cause it probably isnt. Im just one passionate bitch who cant stay on topic)

For the later part of your question, i totally get it. Omorashi for me was something that turned me on but i also felt so disgusted by it for the longest time which caused me to basically stop doing it cause i thought it was 'too weird' and disgusting. It really wasnt until recently where I realised who gives a shit if its werid, and I starting seeing more posts on Twitter about kinks and taboo which only really pushed me further down the rabbit hole...again.

I think everyone has a right to think something theyre into is too werid and begin to hate it because of the way it turns you on, but i think a lot of it involves getting rid of societal expectations and just being you. Cause no matter what kink you have, if its piss or not, 99% of society will hate it and think you are weird for it. You cant please everyone but you can please yourself.

For you since you dont enjoy it cause you find it werid but get turned on by it, it can be a slippery slope. It may be a thing were you dont like participating im omo but like watching it, or maybe you prefer controlling. Idk thats for you to find out if you even want to.

Again, DO NOT TAKE WHAT I SAY AT FACE VALUE! Do more reasearch cause im a stranger on the internet, not some kink professional. When it was me in that position all it took was a mindset change. Realising that I should be able to indulge myself and not feel 'dirty' for it, letting myself understand that yes, a piss kink is weird, but it feels good to me so I should let myself experiment even if i end up concluding it wasnt for me. But it may not be the same for you and thats ok.

I cant really give you a definate answer cause i feel like its a pretty personal journey you have to take. You know, start out small and see how it goes.

anyway sorry about my college theis. Hopes it helps, im really just talking about of my ass rn. If theres someone who has a better take feel free to add, idk if i even answered the question lmao 😭

[fighting-these-demons]

They really went for pain with this OP. That breakup is front and center! Ow. 😭😭😭

Thought I posted this a couple days ago but I guess I saved it as a draft.

I guess they have to do Blue Predator's Tragic Backstory SOME time. May as well get it out if the way half way through Season 4. 🙄

I'm gonna be honest I completely forgot that the Inter High has 3 days I thought it just had 2.

So what they're doing is stretching each day into a season and while I Don't Like That because I'm losing out on a whole years worth of whatever the boys get up to and their own 3rd Year Inter High, I do at least understand it now.

You go into an anime and it's so cute and it's about sports and you think to yourself "There's no way this will be triggering! It's Sports! What could possibly happen?"

And then Boom. 👊 💥

If he'd talked to his parents or like literally anyone and talked this shit out I feel like maybe someone could have steered him on the right path but his shame kept it quiet and he met the absolute worst enabler on the planet.

o7 RIP 🪦 kids y'all are GOD AWFUL for each other and literally everyone else around you.

How has an adult not noticed any of this bullshit? Don't they have a teacher for their club?

Good for him I guess? Midousuji seems like he's using him but he's probably aware if that and happy about it honestly.

Wish he wasn't let loose on everyone else though.

Of course the only introspection on feelings and actual confession so far are from him. Of course. Because this is the ONLY Homo in the series and everyone else are just Best buds! Nothing to see here Upper Management!

This is bolstering my Blue Predator Red Herring argument.

Lord if literally anyone else had gotten ahold of this kid he may have been OK after a couple talks. That's what sucks so bad about it.

He may have still been unsettling and obsessive but probably not like predatory.

Idk though that puts a lot of blame on Midousuji and while he definitely pushed him down that slippery slope with both hands there's plenty of hand and foot holds on the way down fir him to stop and get his footing and be like "idk man is this really the right thing for me to be doing?"

And dude just threw his hands in the air and laughed with glee on his way down to the bottom.

Jesus the jump scare

Man good for him that his confession went well and I'm glad they avoided the Show Canceling Next Season Destroying No Homo Beam but like,

At What Fucking Cost though?????

I hope he gets some kind of talking to and redemption. He's got 2 years of high school left for someone to step in and set him on the right path before he's out on his own and he deserves that chance.

Granted I'm saying this halfway through the episode because I keep pausing to avoid the episode so.

Oh geez Midousuji really actively taught him that huh? Then again dude knows that's not cool and does it anyway. 😕

He has sense at the back of his mind he's just actively silencing it to indulge in what he wants.

I haven't called it quits and skipped an episode yet but this might be it honestly. This is so rank. 🤢🤮

You know what good for toxic masculinity smoothing Izumida's self preservation instincts so effectively that this terrifying behavior slides right off his brain like water off a duck.

He just does not comprehend.

His subconscious does but he sure don't.

And I'm glad for him.

A lot of people fail in life because of falling into the trap of the victim mentality. When people suffer and experience trauma it is very real and isn’t something that should be invalidated. People that have been traumatized should be empathized with and it’s ok to feel that pain of it and process it but it becomes an issue when you let it control and dictate your life. You should never let your past hold you back you either get better from the lesson or get bitter. Self pity is a very slimy and slippery slope with no destination but failure. It is a dead end road. You have free will as a human and some of the greatest people are those who fall down 6 times and get up 7 times. Take time to heal, cry, exercise, go to therapy, practice healthy habits and coping mechanisms and then stand back up and never give up. If you let the pain fester inside of yourself it will become uglier and it will give birth to more problems.

Ok so as someone who has been on ao3 and other fanfictions sites for years now I'm gonna go ahead and add my two cents here. First of all, the unfortunate thing is that people like this exist and create fanworks is every fandom. Seriously, like, all of them, even small ones, even ones primarily catering to a younger audience, always have fics like this. I don't understand how anyone could even come up with these ideas, let alone decide to publish them on the internet for anyone to see, even under an anonymous pseudonym. THAT SAID, I do know that these are the kind of people that THRIVE on attention- even negative attention. Every time you click on these stories, every time you leave comments calling them disgusting and asking them to take it down, every time you report them, you are giving these people exactly what they want. Honestly, it's not worth it. You'll never win, and calling for censorship- EVEN of works that are objectively heinous and disturbing- is a very slippery slope, especially on a site like ao3 which is built on people being able to share ANY story- even terrible proshipper ones. The best possible thing you can do is ignore it. Luckily, ao3 allows you to filter out tags you don't want to see. it's very easy to filter any incest or dead dove fic out of the outsiders tag, which is something I always do to protect my mental health. But i never, ever engage with these creators, because I know I'll never win and I don't want to feed whatever twisted fantasy they're publishing; but also because I don't want them to get off on me getting mad at them (and trust me, as horrible as it is, people who post stuff like this absolutely will).

Guys can WE STOP WITH THE INCEST BETWEEN PONY AND DARRY LIKE ITS DISGUSTING LIKE WHAT DRIVES SOMEONE TO WRITE THIS ITS SO DISRESPECTFUL ME AND @pookiepiss69 HAVE BOTH ASKED IF THEY COULD TAKE THIS DOWN BUT THEY DELETED OUR COMMENTS AND THE FIC THEY WROTE WAS TWOBIT BEING A PEDO TO 14 YEAR OLDS AND OTHER THINGS ‼️ LIKE EUHH
