#particularly desperate?

not to sound like a slut but the clone i imagine cuddling with changes on a nightly basis depending on the specific needs that Must Be Met

What if the plant body hadn't worked out, and the Holy Mausoleum solution had actually taken a long time to sort of "fix" Shen Qingqiu's body and fully call his soul back to it, so that hundreds of years passed and civilization in PIDW/SV world progressed to the point of something like the "modern era"?

Imagine Luo Binghe trying to delicately introduce his shizun to such strange concepts as smart phones and credit cards, while Shen Qingqiu is just desperately trying to figure out how dumb he should play this. Would it be believable for him to get everything on the first try? There have to be some differences between what he knows and this world's versions, right, because of the demons and cultivators and things? Right?? But it's not like any of this actually IS difficult for him to grasp!

Luo Binghe: Shizun already discerned how to type using a keyboard...?

Shen Qingqiu, sweating bullets: what, like it's hard?

Veridia's hills sport many natural caves. Its residents have exploited some for iron and other ores, but high above the village is one where the edges of reality and the otherworld blur, marked by the gods as a sacred place by the pure white tree growing outside the entrance. Sims trek here to leave offerings to the underworld guides as well as to conduct rites and inter their dead within the cave's niches.

perhaps this is not that hot of a take, but i really enjoy the idea of my partner pissing themself. im not really into piss, but the desperation aspect that comes along with being made to hold it is undeniably hot to me. like

"you wanna be oh-so-very-good for me, right? drink. you need your hydration, my love. keep going, honey, you're doing so well."

id let some time pass, keeping a close watch on their behavior and continuing to coax them into drinking more water.

"something wrong? you're starting to squirm, sweetheart... you have to pee? aw, my poor little thing! you can hold out for me a little longer, though, right baby? mhm, good pup, have some more water for sir, okay? you can do it, baby, make it fit"

when they finally can't hold it any longer, can no longer sit still, when they're whining and begging to be let to go piss and their hearbeat has gone erratic, then and only then would i give permission

"you need to go, honeybun? alright, baby, go ahead. no, you can't get up from my lap. if you need it that bad, surely you won't make it to the bathroom anyhow, right? better to go right here where we can clean it up nice n easy, yeah? that's my good pup, let it all out <3"

Saw a fic about vastaya Viktor and if you ask me he’s definitely a bird (or salamander if you wanna super angstify him- cough cough Rio cough).

[pynkhues]

I read somewhere that Rolin specifically wanted Louis to be a brothel owner because he thought it was important for his character that he have the same casual view on the exploitation of people’s bodies as book slave-owner Louis. These are important aspects of his character that I feel the show handles with more nuance and care than the books. Louis should get to have his negative qualities!

(x)

Yeah, I think I read that too, anon, and honestly, I think it really makes a lot of sense for his character, and also is a part of what makes him really interesting? This is a bit of a tangent, and I've got a half-drafted longer reply to someone else's ask about this that I'll post eventually, haha, but there's so much stress on Louis as the most 'human' vampire in fandom, when I think that's both true and untrue? I think Louis feels very connected to human expression (most clearly seen through his love of art and literature), while having detachment at best and derision at worst for the humans who create it (best seen through his cruelty around the artist in Paris, but also his gentrification of San Francisco in the 70s and abandonment of the people in 2.01).

In a lot of ways, even that in itself feels like the embodiment of capitalism, and like - - it's been fascinating to see this embrace in fandom of Louis as a capitalist and yet this sort of denial of the reality that successful capitalism relies on the exploitation and abuse of people for the sake of profit. That exploitation and abuse almost always involves intersections of racism, misogyny and classism, which Louis has absolutely been shown to participate in.

Like, God, in the first episode alone, the Alderman Fenwick tries to anally rape Bricktop, and someone (well, Lestat) murders Miss Lily, and Louis doesn't even bat an eye. Maybe you could make an argument that he had commercial interests at risk with Bricktop, and was distracted by his brother's death and Lestat's Whole Deal by the time Miss Lily was killed, but I think to deny that his flippancy towards both crimes isn't inherently steeped in misogyny and a devaluation of women's bodies and lives, is pretty naive.

I think people tend to think misogyny is just about hating women, and it's not. It's about upholding patriarchal structures and values that oppress and objectify them, and having ingrained prejudice against them. Louis absolutely uses women as a pimp, and I think even at home upholds patriarchal family dynamics with both Grace and Claudia. I've touched on that before, and linked to those posts there, so won't get into it here, but yeah! Louis' relationship with women is complicated and usually paternalistic, dismissive and - ultimately - about him, even with the women he - genuinely! - loves.

And when I say that, I mean it as literally the opposite of a criticism. Like you said, he should be allowed to have negative qualities! Those negative qualities give him texture and humanity and make him real, and are one of the reasons the show's version of him is so, so compelling.

I like this parallel drawn by this twt user

still thinking about antoine semi-rping on main during the qsmp meta talk with etoiles, florence and zerator last night . why did this dude scoff when étoiles started talking about the resistance . why did he start asking him why he’d possibly want to kill federation guards and disagree with étoiles calling them mean/bad people . you are currently discussing this while playing on the mc server that contains La Tour de Merde you can Nawt give me lore jitters like this…..

I'm going to be bitchier and more confrontational about people who send me unsolicited pictures of themselves. I'm not being patient with y'all anymore

[musclesandhammering]

Queer women are the main culprits of fetishising mlm relationships (both real and nonexistent ones), and I think we’re all scared to admit that.

just remembered a wip i had which was jay at uni meeting normal people and desperately trying to act cool and normal whilst internally screaming about being in a whole new place with all new people and not having his gang with him

"popping boba" has to be one of the worst possible coffee shop innovations never in my life have I been drinking an iced latte and thought "I wish this sensory experience was slightly more akin to eating fish eggs"

[the-acid-pear]

Like I feel Jake and Jack both share the... Well let me quote my queen Oscar here and say they're literally both Tsunderes straight up. They're very similar in how they go about everything just two guys who lost their families and their wives and are now so lonely and bitter. Just two guys who want to connect with others to a human level but struggle to seeing themselves as human enough for this.

It's like I said in the past it's like the two most lonely creatures in the world found each other. For better and for worse ❤️
