#oooo bad romance vibes

[icy-gendango]

what otherworldly being is it that strives to mock me /whimsical

[helluva-dump]

You know despite doing things with Adam and Lucy… I’ve grown to really enjoy writing stuff with another broken relationship.😂

Because I’ve been invested with the Bible folklore (mainly angelnology and demonology), I read more things about Ariel as well as Mammon that gave me an idea. Since Ariel not only is the Angel of nature but she’s also an Angel of prosperity where Mammon is the sin of Greed… and I thought “oooo what if she was his ex gf”

That Ariel and Mammon used to be lovers at one point when God first created the angels. Now in my headcanon, not all of the Helluva boss sins are arch angels… I think some were just regular angels like Mammon. Though in the vibe folklore it varies, but I had this thought he was just a regular Angel that went through struggles.

And when Ariel met him, she really felt so bad and offered some of her prosperity to help him get basic needs, like food, clothes, and shelter. The two of them start to hit it off and developed romantic feelings for each other.

Though God didn’t approve their relationship since he could sense something off with Mammon… Mainly anytime he is around the riches of gold they offer to help others… Mammon consumed more and more where it started to slowly corrupt him… he would always guilt trip Ariel and pressure her to grant him more of her wealth for “self love and comfort” because he’s depressed.

At one point, when she granted some wealth to poor angels and those that are struggling, Mammon WAS SO FURIOUS. He was so angry that she gave most of the wealth to those below them that he just BADLY wanted it all to himself. And they got into heated arguments over it to the point where Ariel banished him from the holy treasure, due to how it corrupted him.

And of course he got so angry and bitter that to prove he wants a selfish greedy sinner… He used that gold to make her a beautiful treasure as his offer in marriage… the only thing she had to do was join his rebellion with Lucifer to rebel against God and grant him more riches.

And we all know how that worked out at the end 😂 Ariel was too kind and compassionate to ever even stoop his low of hoarding money he didn’t need. And this lead to a massive fallout with them both, but it lead to consequences of the future of churches and Christians.

You know how sadly some preachers end up being greedy and use charity money for yatches and other things? Or why there’s so many republicans in Christianity? Let’s say because Ariel has romance with Mammon, the greed badly tainted her prosperity. Which lead to the downfall of humans being trained with greed, even in Christian spaces.

Like Azreal, Ariel too made a mistake. And she had to pay the price for this mistake she caused. God was stern with her and wasn’t happy about her affair, but she did promise him to face consequences for her actions. And that is paying a lot of of taxes for working angels and giving wealth to those charities. And somehow it did help her heal, she even went to confession and did things to help her heal from that tainted relationship.

Where Mammon on the other hand, still whines and bitches about Ariel to this day. He made up a false narrative how she BANNED him from Heaven and threw him under the bus. And how she “screw him over” all because she rejected his proposal, offer, and no longer wanted to grant him riches.

Since the show shows how misogynistic Mammon is, I headcanon he thinks less of women all because of Ariel. Especially after Ariel felt comfortable being trans, she used to make jokes before while taking a jab at greedy people and Mammon took it as a personal attack. (Much like how Contrapoints would make funny skits to de radicalize alt righters, that’s what I imagine Ariel doing with some male angels )

They sometimes counter each other over big events such as nature protests, or if they need Ariel to purge sinners that caused damage to environments for greed.

So what Lilith was to Adam, Ariel is to Mammon.

20 Questions Game

Thanks for the tag, @bronzeagepizzeria <3

How many works do you have on AO3?

68!

2. What's your total AO3 words count?

734,052

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, I really only write Doctor Who aside from a handful of other one-offs I've written, but I literally have at least a hundred WIPs/ideas in my drafts.

Fandoms that I have tons of ideas for are Broadchurch and Jessica Jones (TV series), which I hope to get around to publishing. But I have a fair bit of range hiding away haha.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

In descending order:

Broken-Hearted (cross-over with Broadchurch; multi-chapter; completed)

Braids (one-shot)

Desperate Measures (multi-chapter; completed)

Exes and Ohs (one-shot)

A Lesson in Romantic (AU; multi-chapter; completed)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Pretty much as soon as I can! I appreciate engagement so much and I want to make that known to commenters. Plus, I love a bit of banter and discussion where prompted - it's a delight!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oooo, boy. Probably Happy Together? Or maybe the first chapter of Sunburn? Violet Hill was also pretty sad. I love me some dark, heavy stories that fuck up my beloved blorbos.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Although I haven't updated in it in quite a while, I've written a fair bit of the sequels for the A Lesson in Romance universe, and, boy, have I made those two have a (mostly) happy life together.

In terms of published stories, I think Study Buddies would take the cake or one of the many TentooRose pieces I've done. The former is very classic, high school sweetheart vibes with just enough angst dashed in, and I tend to keep the latter sweet, fluffy and horny.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I received some very intense 'constructive' criticism whilst writing A Lesson in Romance - like I'm talking extremely long paragraphs pretty much deconstructing my writing and questioning my content. I was young at the time, it was my first multi-chapter Doctor Who fic, and the fact that this person also pretty much outright told me how I should write my story pissed me off a bit, so I, in the most polite way possible, asked them to stop reading my story and leaving these comments.

Aside from that? I've really only had one sort of bad comment since then, but I opted to not reply.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Oh, you know I do ;) I currently only write F/M; have explored M/M in the past so I'm down to write queer smut if the inspiration ever strikes.

I'm not really a fan of overly kinky stuff that is, say, explicit/specific (e.g. BDSM), but I don't mind stuff that is vaguely/lightly kinky (i.e. I tend to include voyeurism in my stories, but it's generally accidental). I mostly write either very horny or emotional, intimate stuff - I'm a sucker for the feelings associated with the couple.

It honestly depends on what kind of story I'm writing! But as of recent, I've been mostly producing first-time, emotion-heavy smut with a good serving of horniness/wantonness to build up the tension.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I've written two - Broken-Hearted and Fobwatched (if you've been waiting for an update, I promise I think of her often... I'll revive her one day). I'd say BH is crazier, as it does entwine itself with the Human Nature storyline from Doctor Who, but Fobwatched has also had some pretty wacky moments!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, and I really hope not! I have, admittedly, been a bit fearful of it in recent months.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, not to my knowledge! But I'm always open to that conversation if people are interested.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Back when I wrote band/music fanfiction (please forgive me for my crimes), I had started drafting out a fic with someone, but it never went anywhere and we didn't communicate very well either :,)

However, I have been beta-ing the lovely @quite-right-too's fic Dona Nobis Pacem, which has been a lovely collaboration <3 I'm so proud of Cody's work and highly recommend you read it if you haven't!

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

It would probably be DoctorRose! I've never really been more enthralled with a ship before, and the fact that the special interest is still going strong three years on is a pretty good sign. I also tend to come back to Ellie and Alec from Broadchurch quite often.

In the past, I was a hardcore Reylo fan, and I've always enjoyed random, niche ships within my realm of interests (i.e. Evey and V from V For Vendetta; Jackson and Lisa from Red Eye; an array of ships from my horror movies because I love being delusional).

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Look, I'm quite stubborn in my belief that, ultimately, I will finish all my drafts, but I can say that the drafts from when I first started writing Doctor Who fanfiction have been quite difficult to work on because my writing has changed so much since then!

There are also maybe a WIP or two that I have written purely for myself and will never publish. I will probably take these to my deathbed lol.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Hm, I've always been complimented for character accuracy, which I do think I have down pact - writing characters like Ten and Rose have gradually become more comfortable for me over the years and I feel like I know them quite well by this point, which is really surprising considering I've never done a proper rewatch of the show since finishing it aside from some scenes/particular episodes!

I've also always been very anal about detail in my stories - I love including the most unnecessary shit in my work!! Do you need to know what Rose had for breakfast? No. Are you gonna know anyway? YES!!! I just love making my stories feel as organic and lifelike as possible.

I've been working really hard on scenery recently, which I've been getting compliments on! I have aphantasia, so this is something I've put a lot of energy and focus into as I've come to realise it's pretty important for readers lol.

And, not to brag, but I do think I write some pretty banging smut. It's taken ten or so years of practice, but I got there in the end.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Eh, I feel I'm not super great at coming up with like... proper action/plot. Like I can do circumstances and events quite alright, but coming up with something like... say, escaping from a villain/bad situation, I've always felt pretty shit at accomplishing. However, I always try to improve.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I only speak English, so it's a bit daunting! But I just use Google Translate and consult others where possible. And, as Niyati has mentioned in her own post, I recently used her technique of writing from the non-speaker's perspective and it's been a welcome addition to my skills! Shout out, girlie <3

19. First fandom you wrote for?

It would've been 5SOS, but those fics are long gone - I deleted them from Wattpad, and the iPod that the original drafts are on doesn't work, unfortunately.

I also wrote about other bands that I listen to - Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, You Me At Six, Pierce the Veil, and Bring Me The Horizon. I still have most of the drafts, but I deleted all but four of them from the internet lol (the ones that were deleted were unfinished works).

I don't write about these people anymore as I did come to realise, Wait a minute, it's kinda weird and gross to write about these people like this lol (no hate on anyone who does). But I'm always down to chat about my sordid past haha.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I would have to say "Come, gentle night, come" as it's probably the most amount of effort I put into writing. I think it's my best smut and cherish it deeply!

💋🧘❓💏😷 for an oc you haven't talked about in a while ;)

oooo okay! i think i'll do it for Priscilla [you can read more about her fun weird gender here, it's relevant!]

💋Do they like kissing? Anywhere in particular?

Generally, yeah! Regular mouth kissing is standard Romance Activity, so she's not gonna turn it down, but during sex it's not a priority. She's using her mouth for other things (biting, sucking, screaming, etc.)

🧘Favorite position?

When she feels like Priscilla, it's cowgirl or any other Bottom That's On Top position. When he feels more like Percy, he's good with missionary or even doggy. Still keeping the power bottom role, just with different Vibes.

❓What are they still exploring about their sexuality? Are there any desires they haven't discovered/worked through yet?

Any position in which she's in a submissive role is almost completely unknown, and for good reason. Even when he was living as Percy full-time for survival reasons, he was often in a position of subordination because of his supposed youth. Now a crime boss in his own right, Percy has vowed to never be in that position ever again. She's dedicated to her own power—personally, politically, and intimately.

At the same time... Henry is a big dude, a (mostly) gentle giant, and her devoted husband, and she's not averse to the idea of putting all of her control in his hands. It's just not something she's ever allowed herself to want outside her own mind. It's too risky, too vulnerable, even with her own husband in the privacy of their home.

💏How do their past relationships impact their sexuality?

Quite! Despite the relative freedoms women (and those assumed to be women) gained in the early 20th century, it was also still. uh. bad. Even Priscilla's teenage relationships placed her in the role of a future housewife, or else a woman on the wrong path, a troublemaker to be cured. It's yet another reason she can't allow herself to give in to a gentler mindset—she'd be proving all of them right, wouldn't she?

😷Have they ever gotten an STD? How serious was it?

Yes, but since it's the 1930s, resources are not exactly... abundant? She kinda just went "huh, that's weird," and ignored it until she ended up in the hospital. Luckily she didn't go the way of Al Capone!

[try out my 100 question sex & kink ask game]

[deafeninggardenerpanda]

sorry late for the controversial ship ask thingy ! either mahokabi or the ship between king dedede and dark matter swordsman! idk the ship name of this one. i've seen it a few times and it's always this yandere-esque thing where dedede doesn't look like he really enjoys it? i was wondering if you'd seen it? thank you! i hope these controversial ship thingies aren't taking a toll on you or something. take care!

oooo these two in particular make me think you spend a lot of time in the jp fandom space. theyre pretty rare otherwise. also dw im so chill but i super appreciate the concern :D

under the cut:

magokirby gets an instant L from me for having way too much ship art thats indistinguishable from anything else. you see mags and kirby standing remotely close to each other and you go "oh thats cool ar- ah. マホカビ ...." otherwise its like. i know a lot of ppl hate this one cause it has the same vibes as me//taki//rby, which in a way i kinda agree because as kirby is the most popular character to be shipped in the jp spaces, it falls under my somewhat broad red flag territory of "uh oh two extremely popular characters together", but honestly i think this one is way better than mtkb. at least its way more plausible for magolor and kirby to be in the same age group. that said i still get really weird vibes from the content out there... i dont bother looking into it enough to Really pin down what the issue is but sometimes it feels like people like to romanticize a manipulative magolor too much

matterdede i think is what its called, though im not sure if thats just an umbrella term for any sort of dark matter/dedede and dark matter swordsman has his own term. Yeahhh agree with you anon. like i said id be a hypocrite to bash any sort of enemies to lovers but this one in particular really just makes me think Why. im so Why about it im struggling to properly convey any thoughts on it even. not a bad Why. just a neutral Why. but like. Why

my friend ships matterdede on the downlow actually, shoutout to him and i trust his takes in particular so i refer to him: ships only good if you flip the power dynamic. dms having power over dedede in their relationship leads to weird yandere relationships like you specified. dedede having power over the relationship leads to. okay im so sorry im gonna be honest i still dont know but hey its better than before at least. this is probably a personal side effect of me not having any attachment to 64 sob sob im so sorry swordsman i have no clue what to do with your ass

i think like. this gives me the same vibes as dam//eta//meta where i can kinda see it if i squint really hard. like it works as a concept that says something deeper about both of the character's inner states and development rather than being a traditional romance. but also whenever i see it out in the wild im right back to square one of not remotely getting it at all. likeeee if you want to make matterdede a thing of dark matter swordsman learning how to experience emotions through dedede and dedede. okay i still dont know but ill say growing from trauma sure. and then both of them get to understand each other in a unique way by being bonded or whatever then cool i guess? but then at the same time if you go that route i dont see them being traditionally romancey in the slightest and so any art i see like that throws me off?? i dunno i have a lot of thoughts. none of them manage to overshadow the initial Why however, which i think is the issue

3, 4, 7, 10, 34, 55, 62, 85, and 94 (or whichever you feel like doing lol)

AAAA YIS, MORE QUESTIONS - THANK YOU <3 ^^

3. I feel like roughly 95% of my writing is romance based to some extent or another... so like just about all sdkjff (9/10 scale)

4. So I had to look the term up, but if I'm understanding the definition correctly it would be for a Pokemon Legends: Arceus fic I started awhile back and never finished. I had roughly like... 5 optional endings offhand and I wasn't sure which one I planned on using officially and had been tempted to make multi-endings just for the same of letting the readers pick their own idea of a proper ending.

7. Ohhhh boy, this one is gonna be interesting. So like my first fanfic was actually about Batty from Fern Gully. It was about how he escaped from the testing facility and ended up in the rainforest. I don't remember too much of it since I was like 7? But like I remember I liked how it turned out at the time nad was super proud of it. ^^

10. Honestly I usually slap a half assed temp-title to help me remember the idea I had but sometimes I'll get an idea for the title mid-writing or with a phrase said by a character and I'm like "oooo thats gold, gotta make that the title". On rare occasions it comes to me the moment I start lol.

34. I usually look up names relative to the region I'm writing about and go from there. Sometimes I wing it like a boss though. Main character / oc names are usually thought about for awhile lol.

55. My google docs are a hellscape of half finished / abandoned fics. I'm really bad with starting and never finishing ideas unfortunately oof. I think in the past few years I've only finished one fic, but it was hella short to begin with.

62. My reasons are usually because brainworms go nuts over random thing and I have to do the thing otherwise I have a mini breakdown or forget the idea and get mad jyhewgfwgf.

85. I've actually never done a moodboard before admittedly, but for the current ones I've got cooking I'd say lavender themes with hints of gravestones / death indicators for one of them. The other would be red and wood themes with some bondage vibes and a few images of cameras (spicy fic dsfhgsdf)

94. I vary on that front - I do tend to over-describe a lot but I think it tends to work out a lot in my writing.

[bookcub]

Song/book ask: breathless by nick cave and the bad seeds 🎵🎶🎵

oooo i really like this!!

this is such a fairy romance dancing in a field vibe but i cant find anything thats quite that so I'm thinking the girl who drank the moon by kelly barnhill but this is also essential cozy fantasy in song form so im also going to recommend the very secret society of irregular witchs by sangu mandanna.

also such robin mckinley vibes

send me a song!!

Watching The Rings of Power So You Don’t Have To - Episode 1

3.5 minutes in and I think everyone responsible for this script should stand trial. They are so so convinced that Finrod’s speech about why boats float and rocks don’t is profound. The writers hitting me with a broom and shouting “THESE. ARE. THE. THEMES”. I know. I know what themes are and how to recognize them, please stop hitting me.

Is it weird that this show is choosing to treat elf death like human death when it very much is not like that? Yes. But I understand the choice narratively speaking. 

OOOO a snow troll! Also some of these orc bodies are cool practical effects, that’s nice.

Sweet Jesus, the elf dialogue is stiff. But this autumn trees screensaver they’re all in looks very nice. And the line deliveries! Really committing to the “stiff upper lip” I see

The spray-painted leaf crowns are not a vibe, but the elf cloaks look good.

Lots of eye acting from Galadriel. Not really much else she can do with what she’s given.

The Southlands are missing a king and fought with the dark lord so they’re under elf surveillance. Is the execution of the exposition clumsy? Sure. It’s a teen boy shouting at an elf for seemingly no reason, but such is life. 

I like the greenman on Arondir’s armor. I know we’ve all been complaining about how bad the costumes are but I like this touch. 

Bronwyn is hot. She is very very hot. If I were Arondir I’d also risk it all for her. Arondir is also hot. I get the appeal even if he is a little too stoic to feel like a fully fleshed out character. 

THANK GOD Arondir’s elf friend is giving us real human expression for the first time. WE ARE SO FAR INTO THIS SHOW. Even though he’s delivering more goddamn exposition (why elves and humans aren’t supposed to date) he has an actual perspective on it and it has actual stakes. Good job elf-friend

Hobbits! Hobbits who are all doing very stage-y Irish accents. Ok. No, it’s fine. It’s fine. I like the scene of them appearing after the hunters pass. It feels very magical. More good practical effects. Honestly it’s all very a midsummer night’s dream. 

Don’t love the animation on the “wolf”

Ugh this elf armor looks like some 3rd graders spray painted paper plates for a school play.

The cow producing black sludge instead of milk is funny. It’s a very funny omen of doom. 

"I’ve said it so many times in every way but words” slaps, but god I wish this scene was better directed. If you want me to route for the doomed elf romance you need to give me simmering passion. It’s in the text, but it’s just not on the screen. An intimacy coordinator could have fixed this in 5 minutes. Also if someone like I don’t know a director maybe had told Arondir to relax his eyebrows even slightly that would have gone a long. long way

Midsummer Hobbits have predictions! The skies are strange! 

Galadriel is on her way to Valinor and her theme is playing again and she doesn’t want to give up her knife. These shots are very pretty once the armor is gone

Oh no Arondir and Bronwyn found a CGI town in flames 

Shooting star Gandalf! 

I like the Valinor elf song, it’s very pretty. 

And we’re back to the stone and boat story. “You must first touch the darkness to know which light to follow” YES I GET IT. Please stop hitting me with your broom. 

Poor Galadriel. She’s not so much acting as she is just trying to keep her eyes open despite having an extremely bright light shined in her face. I hope they paid you extra for the retina damage, but I know they didn’t

And she jumps from the ship! Beautiful shot. 

Oh no not a poisoned leaf! Side note: Gil-Galad looks like Jason Dohrig and I can’t help but wonder what this would have been like if they cast him instead

Naked Gandalf in a crater found by our hobbit girl! 

That last shot of the flaming crater is very cool. 

Final thoughts: Some elements of the production are really lovely, but the story in episode 1 is not what I would call gripping. Maybe the characters will get personalities now that we’ve covered a lot of the expositions. Also, to be clear I am watching this in order for the first time, but I have seen some of it already and I know how it ends. And which of our mystery men turns out to be Sauron. It is because I find who Sauron is to be really fucking funny that I am watching it the whole way through.

What seasons would the 5undy wedding and election episode happen

Ok.. Oooo good question... 

When the series starts Dream and Fundy are dating and there’s the entire arc with Dream is cheating on George and there’s the whole wedding where Dream leaves Fundy at the alter... 

I think that’d take like maybe 4 seasons.. the first season would introduce the relationship drama, the 2nd season we’d get more into it and the finale Fundy proposes to Dream and then there’s the 3rd and 4th season would be the wedding planning, the 4th season being more focused on the wedding planning and this season is where 5up is introduced and the finale of the 4th season would be the wedding and that’s when Dream would leave Fundy at the alter which is a 2 parter, end of the first part is the wedding and the second is the aftermath after Dream leaves

The season after that Fundy would show up occasionally, every time he’d show up he’d seem a little bit better... there would be some hints of him and 5up hanging out a lot more and their relationship build-up would be a nice 2 season slow burn until sometime during late season 6.. I’d imagine there is a carnival or fall festival of some sort and 5up and Fundy bump into the Chaos kids and they decide to have lunch with em’ and the kids are getting some romance vibes from the two... 

and ya know what.. fuck it.. Scene time bitches.

Setting: the Chaos kids and 5up and Fundy are at the eating area of the fall festival, the eating area is under this huuugge open white tent and their table is right by one of the exits

Purpled, checking his bag: Hey, I think we ran outta tickets for games n’ stuff

Tubbo: What?!? No!!! There’s a tiny baby pig me and Ranboo have to save in an hour at the auction!!! Where did all of our tickets go?!?!

Tommy: erm... me and Lani maybe have used them all on rides...

Tubbo: You wh- Ranboo!!!

Ranboo, sighing: On it... *he stands up to leave* -Drista don’t eat all my fries..

Drista, while munching on food: No promises.

Tommy, to Tubbo: Pfft Gold digger..

5up, to Fundy: I think we’re low on tickets as well 

Fundy, standing up: Oh don’t worry I’ll tag along with Ranboo 

5up: You want me to come with you?

Fundy: Nah, it’ll only be a sec. Plus if these kids aren’t under any adult supervision they might burn the place down. *him and 5up both share a small laugh*

Crumb: Hey! >:(

Fundy, ina lighthearted manner: I’m not wrong though~

5up, laughing: okok just go...

Fundy and Ranboo leave and the rest of the Chaos kids are getting the vibes

Drista, casually to 5up: So are you two boning?

5up fucking chokes on his water

Tubbo: Drista he’s ace!

Drista: -oh my bad.. but like are the two of you still like dating or something?

5up, still hella caught off: Wh- n- no!

Lani: Really? Cause there was definitely something there..

Tommy: Yeah it was kinda painful to watch...

5up: No... nono.. no way.. *there is a small pause and his voice changes into a slightly hopeful tone* really?

Crumb: Oooooo 5up’s gotta crushhhhh!!!

5up: W- well I-

Tubbo: When are you gonna confess?!

5up: I- no... I’m not gonna

Purpled: What why?

5up: I don’t wanna potentially ruin our friendship... plus I wanna wait for him to be ready to be in another relationship even if I really did wanna confess to him... I want him to feel comfortable.. even if I do have to wait...

The camera then pans to Ranboo and Fundy standing right outside the tent walls, it’s implied they’ve heard almost the entire conversation. Fundy’s expression is a bit unreadable right now.

Ranboo, in a concerned tone: Fundy?

Fundy, his voice is a bit shaky but it’s still unclear what he’s feeling still: Let’s go..

Ranboo: I um... ok...

Fundy and Ranboo walk in, Fundy’s attitude completely changes as if everything was normal but Ranboo is still a bit worried.

Fundy: Ey! We’re back!!

5up, quickly whispering before Fundy can come close enough to hear: Don’t say anything!!! *he then turns to Fundy with a smile on his face* Hey!

Ranboo and Fundy sit where they were sitting before and the transition music begins to play

END SCENE

So pretty much after that Fundy starts to become a lot more awkward around 5up and it continues into the next season (I like to think the finale is a new years episode and Fundy almost confesses but something happens and the entire audience is like “nUUUU” cause i’m evil like that >:D)

But early in season 7 there’s the valentines day episode and that’s when Fundy confesses to 5up and it’s a really soft and adorable scene and they share the most softest kiss.. and ahhhhh typing this makes my heart explode.. and so then they’re dating!!! and the season after they get engaged! but like then they like wait like a few seasons, like in the end of season 10 prolly when there’s the scene where Fundy is like “dude we should get married already” and 5up is like “yeahhhhh”

AND BOOM SEASON 11 IS THE FUCKIN 5UNDY WEDDING!!

Oh the election episode is prolly like uh... season 3???? yeah.. season 3.

[planetdream]

hihi if you're still open to giving your thoughts on people's natal charts im wondering what you could tell me abt mine 👀 any scalding truths you think i needa hear or reads on kinks mayhaps? 👀 (if not thats ok u can delete this ask lmao)

hiiii. i told myself i wouldn't do these for a while (for several reasons) but i had to read yours because i LOVE looking at a full chart (literal heart eyes). i also needed a quick warm-up before i get to the several other chart readings i need to do 😭

— also kinda spoke a lot about love in this my bad 😔 also a bit delirious rn so if this seems scattered, my apologies.

"bad" stuff first so...scalding truths? you're an aries moon... quit being a hothead. i know anger is a natural emotion...but my advice to all aries moons is....try crying sometimes <3...but ur moon is at 20° (scorpio degree) and in the 4H (cancer) so maybe you do cry often idk idk...and your chart as a whole?? ik you have to speak ur mind on like...everything (being opinionated is fun, trust me, i know)...but sometimes it's okay to just...not... like!!! not even in a bad way, it's just that silence is nice sometimes :)

okay, sexy things now <3 your venus placement—and this singular placement is another reason why i had to answer this ahah—sagittarius venus in the 12H at 5°. lets do a semi-deep dive into this (sorry this is just the first time ive felt !!! looking at a chart in a very long time):

— venus in the 12H (karma, spirituality, subconscious, etc) is one of, if not, my favorite place for venus to be positioned in. having venus in the 12H is all about wanting to be drowned in love (that's certainly a way of putting it, wow). by drowned in love, i basically mean: a soulmate connection, karmic connection, whichever you want to call it. kinda just being a very deep hopeless romantic with a side of "let me suck the soul out of your dick" type beat.

— sagittarius venus...the best thing about love is that you can learn in it. sag venus' typically want to be taught something, anything by their lover. so when a sexual partner has a kink that they're interested in, you might like to be taught more about that kink (visual learner type beat).

— people w sag placements are also very good at sex (or so i've heard...and combine that with ur scorpio sun and cap rising....yeah). now, and, this is kinda me being astrologically stereotypical...i find that people with sag placements (fire placements in general) can easily separate love from sex...but sometimes specific placements can get in the way of that. you're a scorpio (w an aries moon), so you're possessive in nature and that's okay! also, you have a pisces placement..so... that i'll get to soon :))

— 5° is a leo degree...which i always find funny when leo (whether that be sign or degree) is in the 12H cause it's just like....do you want to hide or not?? anyways...i feel like you're kinda...loud in bed? just a feeling rlly.

now that with your mars placement: pisces mars in the 3H at 9°

— oh you wanna be in love so bad oooo....but since your mars is in pisces, sometimes there are times where it's hard to accept that you deserve to be in love OR you have a hard time making the whole love thing happen!! pisces mars people give me 75k words, enemies to friends to lovers, slow burn vibes idk idk

— 3H (ruled by gemini...communication) so im just gonna guess that you love dirty talk, yeah? (especially since you're a scorpio mercury) and being flirted with and/or romanced (because pisces be like that). how do you feel about one-night stands? or simply, just casual sexual relationships. bc i think you'd enjoy it? but u also have water placements so it might end up a bit romantic even if it's not exclusive.

— mars at 9° (sagittarius degree) again, you're into experimenting and people that have a lot of experience (ur a cap rising...ur a bit attracted to experience and status).

and then (and very briefly), your venus square mars aspect. you like that push and pull—the fight for dominance just makes sexual relationships so much fun for you. are you into enemies to lovers? cause that's the vibes i get lol

some possible kinks: experimenting. anything involving cum. POLY (scorpio sun in the 11H. the 11H means groups of people so...yeah). roleplaying. spanking probably. choking probably. quickies in public places—basically the whole "we could get caught" dynamic. dom/switch/sub aspects but make it spicy so, probably even "taboo" kinks. dirty talk (maybe even heavy emphasis on backtalk and degradation). kinda just being...bullied but lovingly. body worship (that's where praise comes in). not a kink but cuddling after sex lol, just very very nice aftercare. again, not a kink but fun sex!! lets not be so serious allll the time lol.

lastly (and i always make sure to say this), there are specific asteroids that can point even further in-depth to ur kinks and the things you might like. if anyone wants me to, i could share a few and even give examples using idol charts or something idk.

but that got long and i think i hit all the points i wanted to lol. but!!! i hope u liked it and i hope that i was able to bring you some insight <3

[janesramblings]

Could you do a one shot based on @aceandnancy 's drabble prompt where their daughter asks when they fell in love with each other and it's the same moment?

oooo i love this!! I saw that prompt and i think jane was going to write something so if i stole her thunder,,, oh well too slow I guess. 

“Mom how do you know when you’re in love?” Kate asks her mother over dinner. Nancy sighs. Her twin daughters (Lucy and Kate, named after Nancy’s mothers) were suddenly both very invested in love and romance. 

“You feel like you’re hit by a truck,” Nancy says dryly as she spears a potato with her fork. Lucy and Ace are out of town at Lucy’s swim meet, so it’s just the two of them. 

“Mom I’m being serious!” Kate objects. 

“As am I,” Nancy says, pushing the plate of asparagus towards her daughter. Kate huffs. Unlike Lucy, Kate is very vegetable adverse. 

“Okay, so if it feels like being hit by a truck, why do people always want to be in love?”

Nancy considers this for a moment. “Well, maybe not like being hit a truck,” she admits. “It’s more like a really surprising realization, and then you carry on from there.”

“You’re not being helpful here Mom,” Kate says. She got her attitude from her mother. 

“I’m taking a leaf out of Grandpa Ryan’s book,” Nancy responds, unaffected. 

Kate rolls her sharp blue eyes. She tugs on her coppery red hair, a few shades lighter than Nancy’s. “Okay, well, when was the moment you fell in love with Dad?”

Nancy pauses. Of course she knows the moment she fell in love with Ace, but she’s not sure how to explain why the circumstance came around. Kate and Lucy know their parents are detectives at the Horseshoe Bay Police Department, but they don’t know that Ace and Nancy’s specialized department focuses on the supernatural, a department that came about after Ace and Nancy’s dabblings with ghosts in their teenage years. 

“Mom?” Kate prompts.

“Oh right, well, when I was taking my gap year after Grandma Kate died,” (The girls knew about Nancy’s adoption, and they seemed to take it in stride. Their only complaint is that the have three living grandfathers but only one living grandmother), “my friends and I got into a sticky situation.”

“What kind of sticky situation?”

“Well, we angered someone from Aunt Bess’s family, and we were trying to make it right. And your father got mad at me for angering the person in the first place.”

“So you fell in love with him?” Kate wrinkles her pointed nose the way her father does when he’s confused. 

Nancy smiles, feeling a rush of affection towards her daughter and the antics she got from her father. “No honey, I realized that I was very unhappy when I didn’t have your father to talk to. Which then made me realize that he was practically the only person I wanted to talk to when I had a problem. Or when I was happy. Or, whenever anything happened really.”

Kate stares at her for a moment. “Okay. That’s cool.” She nods her head once. “May I be excused?”

“Sure, come back if you want to talk or have ice cream with me.”

“Okay,” Kate says, sliding out of her chair. Nancy shakes her head at her daughter as she goes.

Kate runs up the stairs, sliding down the hall until she barges into her room and grabs her phone from her bed. Just asked, she types, it was a rly weird answer, u ask now. She sends the text, drops her phone back onto her bed, and heads back downstairs. Ice cream really didn’t sound that bad now that her mother mentioned it.

The text Kate sent is received by Lucy a few moments later. She looks down at her phone from the front seat of her father’s car. He keeps glancing at her every few moments to make sure that her soaked blonde head doesn’t soil the upholstery of his vintage car. Lucy reads the text, smiles a little, and shifts in her seat to turn to her dad. “Dad?”

“Yeah?” Ace glances over at her to make sure her head is off the headrest.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Of course. But if you’re asking about your meet again, you did an amazing job, you don’t have to beat your PR every time.” Nancy’s competitive nature is frustrating enough in Nancy, but when it comes to his daughters, Ace feels completely out of his depth. He often laments to Nick that his daughters ended up being mini-Nancys, something that did not vibe with his pacifist nature.

“Oh, well, it’s not about that,” Lucy pauses. “Even though you’re wrong and I failed spectacularly.”

Ace rolls his eyes as he changes lanes. He grips the steering wheel tighter in anticipation for whatever was about to come out of Lucy’s mouth.  “When did you know you were in love with Mom?”

Oh. That’s a pretty reasonable question, especially from Lucy, who at one point was determined to to put mayonnaise on the floor of her room so she could slide around like she once saw in a cartoon. “That’s a good question Luce,” Ace says, tapping his fingers on the wheel as he thinks. 

“I know,” Lucy says.

He doesn’t answer until he takes the exit off the highway for Horseshoe Bay. “I think it was when your mom took her gap year after her mother died.”

“Adopted mom right? The one Kate’s named after?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Well, your mom angered some person in Aunt Bess’s family-”

“Who?”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“Why?”

“Because they forgave us, so.”

“How’d they forgive you?”

“Lucy do you want the answer?”

“Right. Sorry. Carry on.”

“Thank you.” Ace smiles a little as he drives past The Claw. “It was actually in The Claw when I realized. Your mom had gotten us into a pretty bad situation, and I was angry at her.”

“Really? You’re never mad!”

“Exactly. So your mom pointed it, and I told her I was really just scared. It took me a little while to forgive her. And in my anger, I thought about why I was mad in the first place.”

“Wow, I would never think when I’m mad.”

“I know,” Lucy really was just like Nancy. “Well, I was sitting after work and Aunt George came over to ask my why I was sitting like a useless rock.” Lucy giggled. Aunt George’s sharp tongue never dulled, but Lucy and Kate, along with the Nickerson - Fan kids, are never really affected. The same can’t be said for Bess and Lisbeth’s adopted daughter, however. “And I told her I was mad at Nancy and it was killing me. Do you know what she told me?”

“What?”

“That I was scared for her because I cared about her. Well, actually, because I loved her. So yeah,” Ace pulls his car into the driveway behind Nancy’s car. “That was the moment I realized I was in love with your mom.”

“That’s cool,” Lucy says as she jumps out of the car. “I’m gonna shower!” 

Ace shakes his head at his daughter as he follows her into the house, pausing on his way to the living room to hang up Lucy’s discarded coat and put her gym bag in the laundry room. He finds Nancy curled up on the couch with a tub of ice cream when he enters the living room. She silently hands him a spoon and the tub. Ace sits, leans over to kiss her, and takes the dessert. “You know Nance, Lucy asked me a really weird question today.”

“No weirder than Katie’s I hope.”

“Well, I’m not sure about Kate, but Lucy wanted to know when I fell in love with you.”

“Really? Kate asked the same thing.” Nancy takes the tub from him, scoops out a heaping spoonful, and hands it back. 

“What did you say?”

“What did you say?” Nancy counters.

“I asked first,” Ace points out.

“True. It was when you were mad at me for dragging everyone into the aglaeca stuff.” Ace smiles at his wife. “What?” she asks.

“I said the same thing. I realized that I was scared to lose you because I love you.”

It was Nancy’s turn for a goofy grin to overtake her face. She pulled the ice cream out of Ace’s hands and snuggled up next to him. Ace wrapped his arms around her and kissed her nose, smiling when she wrinkles it. “I realized that I can’t spend a day without you,” she admits. Ace’s smile grows. He knows that saying this out loud is taking a lot of effort for Nancy, so he doesn’t respond. He just pulls her tighter against him and rests his head on hers.

“I love you Nancy Drew.”

“And I love you Ace.”

[absolutebl]

Hi, I hope you’ve been doing well! Just something I wanted to bring up is that Light on Me has been giving me “Boys over Flowers” vibes (but Gay) and I want to know if I’m the only one?? Like in boys over flowers it was obvious who the male lead was (and with ep 13/14 trailer that just came out, I am once again UNSURE with Light on Me) but IF shinwoo IS male lead, does this not follow the narrative of the lead falling in love with the 2ML first, then eventually falling for the ML? LOL I’m not sure if I explained this well but I would just like to know you’re thoughts?? Again, LOVE your blog and thanks for all the great information and takes you post!

Oooo, maybe.

I'm decidedly not a Boys Over Flowers fan.

But this is a not uncommon pattern in love triangles. F4 was basically:

Hero1 = enemies to lovers (usually the bad boy trope)

Hero2 = friends to lovers (usually the noble good boy)

H2 wins at first but then H1 takes over (mostly for sexual tension reasons). H2 releases his claim because the heroine is "better for his dearest bad boy friend" or because "she makes the bad boy a better person" and H2 is just THAT GOOD and self sacrificing. (As if she didn't have a say in the matter.)

Light on Me is not dissimilar to F4 in that regard. At lest at the start ShinWoo was set as combative in not outright enemies to lovers, DaOn was set up as friends to lovers. Also we now know ShinWoo would give up if DaOn stepped to the plate and had the courage to love TeaKyung back (that's a good boy trait tho). But if DaOn doesn't muster, ShinWoo is willing to fight. However, he knows TaeKyung's feels are going to be the final decider. At least that's implied int he sneak peak.

Many Korean romance dramas run with a variation on this kind of love triangle. True Beauty ran the opposite gambit: H1 = good boy, H2 = bad boy. Bad boy lost in the end.

Twilight did this too. Edward: mysterious bad boy, Jacob mysterious good boy. Good boy lost.

Etc...

For the ZE Ask Game: 1b, 1e, 2a, 3d, 5e, 5f and 5n!

Thank you for sending the asks! I love talking about Zero Escape so thank you for enabling me :D

Questions from here

1b: Favourite character design?

Okay, you know how hard it is for me to pick favourite characters because they’re all wonderful and that’s why you went with this question haha. Hmm. There are so many good designs (especially with the colour coding!!!). I prefer the designs in the first two games, since they’re really bright and colourful, and the third game is darker and dingier. I like that each character has a main colour that stands out and doesn’t really belong to anyone else (except for Dio and K who both have the red and gold aesthetics, but that’s valid because red and gold is a brilliant aesthetic). I think in 999, my favourite is actually Junpei’s - I love the blue colour of his vest, and the blue vest and red shirt just. Work super well together. It’s a fashion disaster but it’s also an aesthetic I vibe with so. (also love the red blue colour coding with Junpei specifically so). In VLR, much as I loathe him, I really like Dio’s design. The top hat and the braids and the red and gold work really well together and it’s fun. Dio is super frustrating though, but his design slaps!

1e: Favourite scene?

Oooo tricky. There’s so many good moments. I think I have to go with the classic though - the moment in 999 True End where Junpei gets the safe end code, and the narration goes “How did Junpei know? He knew because I knew”. It’s so chilling and also so satisfying to see everything suddenly click. I love it, and I love watching people experiencing that for the first time. It’s like. The best part of the game, I reckon.

2a: Least favourite character?

Okay I’m trying to not immediately say Delta but like.... Delta. I think he had a super interesting concept, but the way it was executed made it so much worse. I hated that they just.... hid him from view so then the twist was that this character you didn’t even know existed was Zero? It just felt cheap. Also ~complex motives~ got really annoying - I would have much preferred it if he had said “yeah I’m only doing this to ensure my birth (and the birth of my sister). soz lmao”. Because that motive feels more real? Rather than just adding a whole random “religious fanatic” in a vague sort of way. I do like the concept of him and Phi being twins and being separated in such a way that they’re very different ages now, but again the execution of Sigma and Diana’s romance was like. Not done well.

So yeah, Delta is my least favourite because he doesn’t significantly effect the plot, barely exists, and when he is present his motives don’t make sense and his abilities are not foreshadowed at all (morphogenetic fields in 999 were good, the entire game was spent explaining the concept. Mind Hack? Right outta left field and also if we’re trying to make it work based on how morphogenetic field theory was explained in 999, the “reading minds” part of it is “extremely strong receiver”, and the “forcing people to do actions” part of it is “extremely strong transmitter”, so he should have one of the abilities but not both. And if he is a really strong transmitter.... he’s gotta mime out the action in order to write it into the fields to encourage others to follow! And I reckon natural transmitters, who are worse at receiving, are naturally slightly resistant to this, natural receivers are more vulnerable to this, and normal people somewhere in between. But yes, if Delta is gonna Mind Hacc Eric, then we should see him in the corner miming holding a gun, pointing, and firing!! Bleugh!

Wow that turned into a bit of a rant. Whoops?

3d: Rank the endings

I have been given the choice to either rank the true ends across the three games, or all the endings within a particular game. I am so bad at choices ugh.

Anyway, the true ends:

999 - it really tied everything together and explained everything. The sequence in the incinerator, seeing 12 year old Akane and 21 year old Junpei talking to each other, Junpei saving young Akane, Clover’s absolute joy at finding out Light is alive, the “he knew because I knew” thing that I mentioned above, just everything. It was a self contained story, so everything was addressed and it was good.

VLR - this is more second by default, since I love 999′s true end and hate ZTD’s true end. But overall, this is fairly solid, and I like the concept of them doing this in 2074 to change an outcome in 2028, but it loses points because it relies on ZTD to “complete” it

ZTD - I hate this true end. The game has very enjoyable moments, but unfortunately the true end amounts to “oh let’s just... SHIFT to a timeline where we all survive” and that’s it? Which just feels sort of pointless tbh. And is so unsatisfactory

Within 999, I feel all six five endings are extremely solid, and all have a part to play an a story to tell. Knife End may be the most unsatisfactory, but it’s still okay. True, Safe, and Sub Ends are the ends with credits, and they’re all full of great dialogue and story. Axe End is also great, and I love the way you get to see the other side of Clover (and I really like the art of Clover holding an axe, I actually drew it on Saturday (when I started writing these answers, but it’s Wednesday now because I’ve been busy) for a friend’s birthday, which is technically my first ZE fanart and I’ll post it here at. Some point. Knife end is a bit quick, but honestly that’s okay? Especially when considering how many bad ends the other two games have that aren’t even named. Coffin End was my first end, and I wasn’t expecting the “to be continued” so I basically just collapsed and lay face down on the ground for a fair bit, but again given how many plot locks the other games have, coffin end is chill. So 999 has the most solid endings overall.

Within VLR, there are nine named endings, one for each character, and 13 ish unnamed bad ends. The unnamed bad ends are all like.... basically as soon as you make the decision you die or whatever, they don’t continue onwards like they do for Axe End etc in 999. I like that the named endings are designed for you to learn about each character, even though some of them are kinda weak. Like Quark’s ending, we didn’t really learn about him, and most of what we learnt about him was from Tenmyouji’s ending. I agree with what you said, Finch, about how it would have been nice to get some more Quark content/bonding/something, after he wakes up. Clover’s ending was also pretty disappointing, since she vaguely alluded to 999 and then everyone killed themselves. But there were some really good ones, like Luna’s and K’s and Dio’s (very fun that Phi was about to smash his head with a rock even if betraying Luna to get to that point is painful). Actually I really like the whole murder mystery aspect of everything behind the Magenta door. 

Within ZTD, I do appreciate that the endings all served their purposes, but I disliked the way there were sometimes multiple endings in the same timeline, while other timelines... had none. It just was a bit all over the shop. Most of the endings were informative for the characters, but the true end sucks.

5e: Rant about something you liked from the games

I adore all the red/blue symbolism in the games, especially in 999. The way every time the morphogenetic field is described, the transmitters are red people and the receivers are blue people. And then when you learn who the espers are, you can see how the colours align. Clover is a transmitter, and her colour scheme is a lot of dark pink, close to red, while Light, a receiver, has lots of blue in his design. Junpei and Akane can both transmit and receive (with each other), and this is shown by Junpei wearing both red and blue, and Akane wearing purple, a mix of red and blue. It’s really neat. Also, Junpei is new to the morphogenetic fields, so his blue and red is still separate, but Akane is so entwined within them, and uses them so easily, that her blue and red have mixed to become purple.

In VLR, Clover is still pink, and Junpei still has blue (even though he’s lost the red, but that could show he’s lost connection to Akane and now has no one to transmit to, although I think it’s hilarious if he was still unintentionally transmitting to Akane over the years, and that’s how she kept tabs on him and found him again for VLR.

In ZTD, Diana is red and Sigma is blue. I actually headcanon Diana as a receiver and Sigma as a transmitter (as in, he transmitted his memories to himself across timelines rather than a natural receiver ability), so I like that in ZTD they have opposite colours/each other’s colours. Phi is blue in both games and still a receiver imo.

So the colour symbolism is obviously strongest in 999, but I really like it.

5f: Rant about something you disliked from the games

In VLR, Clover says that stronger espers absorb the powers of weaker espers, and that’s why she can’t contact her brother. I hate this “fact” actually, because it directly contradicts the way the morphogenetic fields work in 999 and ZTD, and also in VLR itself. In 999, we have nine sets of esper siblings during the First Nonary Game, and since they all survived, we know that their esper powers must have worked correctly.... which means we can’t have had one Super Esper absorbing all the powers. The true end of ZTD has the powers of all the espers working together to create a resonant effect so that even Eric and Mira, non espers, can SHIFT. I also dislike SHIFTing (a rant for another day), but the idea of multiple espers in a vicinity resonating/boosting everyone’s powers makes way more sense than.... one person absorbing everyone else’s powers.

And even within VLR.... Tenmyouji does the ally/betray swapsies thing with Sigma and Phi, which means he is also remembering another timeline.... which means his powers are still working and not being absorbed by Phi and Sigma. Also.... both Phi and Sigma are using their powers and SHIFTing everywhere. Why doesn’t one of them absorb the other’s powers? Also also, we learn in the True End that Akane was in K’s armour the entire time during the timeline where Sigma and Phi most use their powers for all the bomb passwords and locations etc. You cannot try to tell me that Akane isn’t the strongest esper, ever. She simply is. If absorbing was true, then we would literally never see anyone else use their powers, because Akane is always there (FNG, 999, VLR, ZTD) and would have to be doing all the absorbing. Gah.

So I reckon, even though Clover said that, that she was simply wrong. That was the current theory SOIS had, but.... they don’t have to be right.

In any case, there are other reasons why Clover might not have been able to contact Light in VLR. The first is simply that he is dead. Another is the idea that minds linked by the morphogenetic fields have a sort of... shape. That fits perfectly with those they are esper partners with. And as the espers grow, so do their mind shapes. Clover was frozen on the 22nd of December 2028, and awoke on the 25th of January 2074. Her mind shape was not able to evolve and grow, so it is preserved. Light however has been living those 45 years, which means that’s been a lot of time for his mind shape to grow and change. Clover can’t find Light’s mind in the morphogenetic field, since it no longer looks the same, and their shapes no longer fit together. This is my personal headcanon, and it means that when Clover finds him, their minds can get used to each other again and their shapes can align, and they can be linked again.

5n: Do you have any fanart/fanfic/fangame recommendations?

Boy, do I ever? The First Nonary Game by @airdeari . What it says on the tin, folks! Airdeari has named all nine pairs of siblings, and created unique sibling relationships and unique experiences with the morphogenetic field for all of them, and woven a beautiful story together, and it’s just wonderful. It’s my favourite fic ever, to the point where I literally bound it and it now exists as a physical book in my life. Like, I cannot recommend this fic enough, it is the best.

AO3 Summary: A tale of nine children aboard a sinking ship, and the unbelievable story of how they survived.

[fandom-blackhole]

oooo my god. I don't know if you got the ask I just sent? My internet is being temperamental! If not: my ship gender- male fandom- clones or mandos! pronouns- she/her age- 32 Here are some of my personality traits, good and bad: empathetic, understanding, lazy, romantic, loyal, bratty (not in the sexual sense but as in being spoiled), very spiritual but not religious, loving, a bit manipulative, honest, thoughtful, a little bitchy, giving, determined when set on something, creative,

part 2! - So It's my own personal belief that I'm psychic in some way (Take that as you will please no hate!!) and I'm extremely inexperienced in both relationships and sex. Looking for "the one" and want marriage,kids and all that. I'm a dreamer and I can manifest what I want into reality but I'm easily discouraged or put down by others. Ive had a lot of trauma in my life of different types so I always seek to find the depth in people.I ship you w Hunter! Both with the dad vibe & being reliable

Hello, and sorry that I didn’t get your original ask, but thank you for sending in a second and thank you for being here!

For your ship, I am going with Commander Cody!

First off I want to say that it is a good thing you are romantic because Cody knows about as much romance as a brick. Not for the lack of trying, he's just not good at it and would rather just skip over it completely, but if it is important to you he will go get lessons from the galaxy's biggest romantic himself, Obi Wan Kenobi. You say you're spoiled, well be prepared Cody will spoil you however he can, and considering he doesn't have much other than himself, well, I think you can catch my drift *cough* service top *cough*. You may not be experienced in sexual things, but Cody before he met you slept around a bit and knows his way around a bedroom, but as for relationships, you are the first person he has actually settled down with so all of this will be a learning curve for him for him too. Cody appreciates your honesty and loyalty as those are the two traits he values most in the galaxy. He also loves how empathetic and loving you are, especially when it comes to him and his brothers. Cody also is constantly going to be encouraging you, and not in the 'anyone can do anything kind of way' but in the bluntly honest kind of way that just leaves you breathless  and thinking 'does he really believe that?' Cody also doesn't mind that you are lazy because when he can come and see you when he is on leave, it just means it won't take much convicing to get you to just relax and spend time with him.

Oooooo Hunter isn’t one of the ships I figured I would get and this is definitely the first time I have been paired with him! I definitely think that we would make an interesting couple, not to mention I am obsessed with his tatt (and have a slight headcannon that he has a sleeve and possible chest tatt to match)

(8/20)

[sexysilverstrider]

Hey, I love your blog and reading your playthroughs! What do you think the best otome game for the switch is? I’m planning on getting one once midterms are over

hello hello! sorry for the late reply and awww thank you for enjoying my silly lil playthrus hahahaha youre so sweet for taking the time to give me an ask im happy now heeee

oooo well so far ive played four (4) otome games that have been ported to switch. ill list down the 4 with some brief details so you can decide!

Collar x Malice

arguably one of the best otome games made from otomate/idea factory. the story has a crime scene thriller kinda vibe and each route is so good! it has a sequel called collar x malice unlimited which is super optional since its just more fanservice/romantic scenes + additional route about the villains side of the story. i personally enjoy this game too because kaji yuki (my fav seiyuu) is in it and he voiced my favourite character of all <3 (not bias nope lol) to me it has a nice balance of angst comedy romance and drama. the topics they handled arent that problematic but i did get stressed in some of the routes due to the atmosphere it was delivering. BUT at the same time its a good kind of stress so i welcome it hehe. also the op and ed song slap so hard

also might i add that this game successfully made me love the villain of the story and i hate every living moment of it.

Piofiore: Fated Memories

like cxm this story is just as angsty and dramatic. but be warned: this story has a lot of trigger warning/problematic contents. basically it has topics such as sexual and drug abuse, noncon/dubcon, blood, descriptive descriptions of violence and gore. HOWEVER SO the problematic contents only exist in the bad ends of each route so if you dont mind not finishing the cg gallery, it can be avoided. HOWEVER 2 there are certain routes yangs route cough that deliver the problematic content even if youre progressing to the happy end.

now warnings aside, i genuinely love this game!! the mc is actually very strong willed and smart (as you do the happy and normal ends) and what i love about this game is that the bachelors arent the typical goody goody boys. they all have flaws and to me thats what i love in a character. there are some sweet and funny moments but honestly if youre looking for a more serious intense story who likes to dive into darker content piofiore is the one for you. also yangs voice is sexy as all fuck.

also also it has a sequel and im praying to God it gets localized and released next year i need more of these filthy bastards

Code: Realize - Guardian of Rebirth -

now this one is VERY story-focused. the general route before you get to be in the bachelors route is quite long. even when i speedran, it takes around mmmm nearly 30 mins before i get to be in the route i want? personally im quite neutral with this game. it has a more light-hearted content which weighs more than the angst and sadness it delivers. so if youre looking for a happier story with lovable characters this ones the game for you!

i should add however that it has a sequel that ties up some loose ends from the first story. and next year it will port its 3rd game thats more of an au with a happier side for the villains. if you have a ps4, i highly rec buying the ps4 version since code realize combines its 1st story and its sequel while the 3rd game is a diff cartridge. if you dont however, u can still enjoy the 1st game as it is. even the yandere of the game isnt as scary as the first 2 games i explained and really, to me hes just a sad baby and i love him ;w;

Cafe Enchante

this game is coming out next month 5th nov!! CANNOT WAIT HONESTLY so far what ive heard it has amazing reviews too and it has a more light-hearted fluffy content??? i know i said i prefer drama and angst but after the emotional roller coaster piofiore gave me i welcome this with open arms lol

also one of the characters is voiced by ono yuuki. who voiced silver in pokemon masters. and the protags name is kotone. i cannot NOT play this game. also junichi suwabe is in here too and he voiced a dilf. and you can woo a headless knight. an actual headless knight. personally i can already see myself loving this game.

Rating: 4.5/10

Pros: costuming is better; showcasing of John's real character peeking through; Carlos and Latika (they have the brains, I'm telling you); Ada's back story and how it played into this episode; the scene with very young Mary, showcasing how horrible it is that any kid should be exposed to this world so young (the show didn't shy away from this and I appreciate that & I also think it's a great way to set out for the reboot with the right message/idea for a younger generation, perhaps they're finally realizing what they want their actual target audience to be?); the Men In Black Big Bug Bad was given another job (thanks, it's been 15 years since his last job so his wife and thousands of kids really appreciate it)

Cons: still have that trying-too-hard-to-be-SPN vibe in the beginning; Dean's voiceover somehow sounds less like Dean; lack of chemistry between John and Mary again; the lack of Mary's emotional agency when it comes to John; the Spanish terms are starting to feel like a box being checked while still maintaining a stereotype; POC still can't be the heroes, only John; lazy and opportunistic writing when it comes to the building of the John/Mary bond; alien space bugs as the Big Bad, say it with me "alien space bugs"; someone is missing a mop head and they should really look in Bridget's trailer if they're trying to find it, just saying

Idk these intro scenes with the “monsters” and then the opening sequence really just feels like they’re trying too hard - I know I’ve said it before but they really need to do something different to set themselves apart and find their own identity (and with it their actual audience) - I get why they’re doing it but it just doesn’t match up to SPN, instead it seems to make almost an unintentional mockery of it -- last episode they were getting better about this but now...they need to do better

Dean: “Spending a lifetime hunting monsters takes its toll. There comes a time when you gotta let out that pain inside you. If you don’t, it’ll eat you alive.” - sounds less like Dean, how is this possible?

John and Mary have less chemistry in this scene - again how is this possible? Am I watching the episodes out of order? *checks* No…

It’s official, Meg as Mary and Drake as John don’t have romantic chemistry - which would be fine this early in the game (and working on that organic build-up) if they weren’t pushing it so hard with shots and framing and dialogue and the rest like they are

I know I’ve seen this in previous episodes but I have to mention the “based on ‘supernatural’ created by Eric Kripe” credit - if the specific wording of that credit doesn’t tell you that this isn’t an official prequel and it’s actually a reboot/AU, then I don’t know what else will - so people can STOP screaming about how if you don’t watch this show and make it a success ratings wise that you’ll never get anymore SPN content

Right, John, and Denial is a river in Egypt; and Millie knows it, too

See, this convo between mother and son about Mary and romance to me feels more organic than random characters continuously reminding the audience about the Jary romance factor each episode

Oooo Millie thinks Mary is good for John but also doesn’t seem to care for her or is putting on the tough Mom front, one or the other

Relevant Prop: Headline: “Today’s the day they say ‘I do’” (and as if the “New meat plant openings in Waterville complex” “Real estate on the rise” and “State fair wins praise” aren’t obvious, TW, come on) - right after the Millie and John convo about Mary which gets interrupted by Mary and lo and behold, she’s the one holding up this paper - on the nose and not cute or brilliant, sorry

Ooh, we see Ada again, nice

There’s Carlos bringing in the more immediate issue at hand aka logic (this is going to bring about the split up of the team mentioned in the blurb isn’t it?)

I love how Carlos is the one to bring Ada into the decision making, I get that he’s doing it so she’ll side with him, but why isn’t Mary doing that? Isn’t Mary the supposed leader of this Scooby Gang?

Uh oh, I don’t like that look, Ada - I gotta admit, I like her character (and I think there’s way more to her than meets the eye) but I don’t exactly trust her intentions sometimes

Gotta give props - seems like the costume dept has gotten better about matching the time period, I’m glad to see it

I LOVE Latika’s outfit

Alright I’m just gonna say it, why are the POC in the back and John and Mary are up front in this walking sequence/shot? Again, if this show didn’t market themselves as inclusive and having a diverse cast, continuously driving that point home during promotion, I wouldn’t keep bringing this up as often as I do - does TW really not realize how unfavorable (nicest word I could think of) that image is?

And so Djinns make an appearance into this universe, interesting

I’m sorry, John is a soldier and he doesn’t react to someone running at them, possibly to attack them? Instead, he’s just calm as can be? Same with Mary and Carlos as two experienced hunters? Are you kidding me? - especially given the contrast of Latika’s reaction

Interesting shot of Ada and the guy - something tells me she knows him and I’m thinking with how young this kid is, it’s her son or younger brother, someone close

Oh, there you go, it’s her son

Wait, how did Carlos, Mary, and John hear Ada when they were still in the warehouse? Sigh (how did they have a semi-decent episode in the last one and now we’re going back to amateurville? HOW?)

Ada’s got a point - it’s her son, why would she tell hunters about him if he’s half-Djinn?

Wow, fuck you, John - typical John coming through (I’m glad that they didn’t lapse on showing this part of his character that is very much a part of his SPN character post-loss) - you just started hunting five episodes ago, take a goddamn seat

And everyone just follows John’s lead? Because the newbie spoke up? Omg this is aggravating 

John, Istg I’m about to come through that screen and slap that look off of your face, how dare you, sit down and stfu - JHC he is irritating in this situation, typical SPN John Winchester coming through (I give props to Drake and TW for that one)

Thank you, Carlos, and omg thank you, Latika - at least somebody’s using their brains in this group

Seriously, Carlos and Latika are the only ones that have treated Ada like a person in this group so far

Now John is Mr. Super Sensitive Guy With A Heart? Because it’s Mary? Talking about Ada and her Djinn boyfriend falling in love? Idc what anyone says, my loathing of John in any form will never cease, there is no redemption for that son of a bitch, idc what JDM, Jensen, Danneel, RT, Kripke, or anyone else might have to say - but again, major props to the show for not veering away from showing that part of his personality

Another “soldier boy” reference - EYE ROLL - God, I have no idea why they keep going back to this, it’s so cringe and so obvious

A little more chemistry with John and Mary in this scene but I think it was coming more from Drake’s side here - the whole convo was stupid tbh and obviously John trying to goad Mary with some possible jealousy while also teasing her

“Mi Abuela”...not “my abuela”, when Carlos doesn’t speak Spanish that often (and we don’t even know if he can speak it fluently or was raised with it) - better than “amigo” but you guys still need to work on this

I feel for Tony

Relevant line: “Like a giant bug” - obviously the Akrida - can I just say that I still think it’s laughable that the Big Bad is a group of alleged alien bugs?

“The Akrida” Dun dun dun

Oh and again John is running things *cue another eye roll*

I’m glad Mary is being a lot nicer to Ada

Tony possibly following in his father’s steps - another parallel to Mary (and John) with the whole father theme

Ada: “I’ll take that win.” - writers, really? You do realize that you do not need to copy every single thing from SPN, right? These aren’t cute callbacks and that is definitely not a line that was used back in the 70’s so it’s obvious what your real goal is and it’s ridiculous (again, just call it a reboot and go)

Okay, okay, so you’re telling me that Mary can’t have this moment with Ada alone? That John has to eavesdrop? Because she won’t “open up” to him? How are we supposed to see Mary as her own character in this series when they do things like this? Whatever she’s thinking/feeling about John does not need to be made apparent to him (without her consent like in this scene) right away in order to sell this “romance”; the only one that should be “eavesdropping” on this scene is the audience

Mary, of course she’s going to say she would do it again, she had a kid - very different

Ugh, I despise that smile of John’s - for a show that’s supposed to have me rooting for this couple so Sam and Dean can happen in the flagship series (hear me, Robbie, FLAGSHIP SERIES, not mothership, ugh), you guys sure are working to do the opposite

“Hey, where’s John?” He was busy eavesdropping with serious Edward Cullen-creepy vibes and only bounced a second ago, you can probably catch him if you hurry

I like that Carlos and Mary took the lead on this one

Oh look it’s the alien spider-dog again, why are you guys running? He just wants to play fetch

So that’s the next job the Men In Black Big Bug that Vincent D’Onofrio turned into has! I was worried that his career hit a bit of a stale point but it looks like he’s making a comeback, whew, one worry off of my list 

“What the hell was that thing?” “Roach” - you aren’t kidding, Carlos. Don’t you know these are alien space bug things?

I bet you Mary was stung by the alien spider-dog

Yep - knew it

Whoa - I’m sorry to say it but Meg’s acting is not that great in this scene, like girl all you have to do is act out of it, how is that a problem?

“Querida” - alright a little better

While I respect everything Tony is saying in this scene, this whole thing is ridiculous - and John is the only one connected to Mary out of that group? Come on, people, back to amateurville it is apparently - and of course John has to be the hero, not any POC including Tony who is the actual half-Djinn? Omg...I don’t know if I’m going to make it to episode 7

Loved Carlos’ “help” LOL

Hey writers - hi there! Just a small little question - why is Mary struggling so much while in this dream state but John isn’t when they’re both doing the same thing? I get that the Akrida didn’t affect John and he’s going in through using Tony’s powers but really? 

So we have a hallway that is reminiscent of Beetlejuice? Okay

Mary has the anti-possession charm on a bracelet? What if the clasp breaks? What if it’s a demon who breaks it? I get that the tattoos weren’t around until Dean and Sam but isn’t there a better way to have it on their person?

“Mary, we don’t have time for this” - I get that John is right but did he not hear Tony when he mentioned the word “trauma” in his explanation? Since John doesn’t know what the said trauma is for Mary, shouldn’t he state this another way? Especially since he’s "in love" with her? (and just as an aside, I don’t care for how Mary’s emotional trauma and thoughts were stripped from her this episode so John could be let in without her consent to force the “romance” and bonding - Mary doesn’t force John to talk about the war and his trauma, he shouldn’t be doing that to her outside of the whole Akrida urgency business - you’ll notice that Latika didn’t force Mary to go into Maggie’s room in the previous episode - and the writers using this mind walk crap as a way to force that bond is lazy and pure bullshit - one thing SPN itself got right was the emotional foundation it created, that’s good writing, this is not it)

Oh, now he talks to her appropriately

OMG this is so fucked up - they’re showing a bit of the foundation of the Mary we know (which is good) and how she never wanted this for her children but John literally still does the same thing to Dean and Sam later on - FUCKED UP (and once again, fuck you John and a major fuck you to the Campbells) - I don't give a crap if there's a mind wipe or spell or whatever that gets us to the original series (and John doesn't remember), the point is Sam and Dean should have never been made to do any of it and John is a POS father, again idc what JDM, Jensen, John apologists have to say - this scene actually showcases that brilliantly with this scene of young Mary

I have to say Meg’s acting is a bit better here, more believable

Oh shit, I take that back, Meg honey, you had it, what happened?

“No kid should ever have to go through that.” A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE JOHN WINCHESTER APOLOGISTS IN THE BACK

Okay, Meg has it back again, good

“Did you open up to Mary yet?” “Nope, but she opened up to me. Just not how she expected.” yeah aka without her consent

So we went through all of that for Mary to “open up” to John and then John shuts down on her? #makeitmakesense

Awww loved the Tony/Latika moment, cute

Roxanne -> Rockin’ Roxy - calling it now

Yep, knew it

Omg what hair is that??? *jumps up and yells into the crowd* “IS ANYONE MISSING A MOP HEAD?” holy crap, I know it's the 70's but surely the hair/costuming dept can do better than that

“I Put A Spell On You” - really? Obviously that’s the radio station they’re using and I wonder if the music itself is the “signal” since the song choice here is on the nose

Episode theme: You need a release/to let go or it will consume you

Monster: mixture of cute and the desire to grab a can of Raid

Chemistry: John and Millie; John and Betty; Carlos and Ada; Mary and Ada; Tony and Latika

Ending Thoughts: I'm not exactly sure what happened her but somehow this episode was less stellar in quality than the last, it almost gave off the vibe of the episodes being out of order or something. The Mary memories were great and so was Ada's and Tony's story. I also appreciated seeing the real John Winchester come through and I'm glad TW isn't shying away from that. And that's why I left the rating as the same rather than decrease it though this was subpar compared to last episode.
