the Gale of Waterdeep blow job meta

this is the most unhinged I've been on this website since like 2012 but here goes...

This is a piece pulling what we can from the game- Gale’s statements, characterizations, etc- and applying it to the narrative & symbolic function of sex in literature. It won’t be too academic ultimately, as I personally am still in Act II, and will not be citing any sources other than my trauma-earned armchair psychology and years of field experience as a bit of a heaux. 

This really strikes at the duality of Gale, something I think that ultimately makes people crazy for Gale. Gale is a giver AND Gale is desperate for control. Players who find Gale annoying or think he’s pure bravado miss this entirely. They take him at face value.

And to complicate things, Gale’s entire story is about connection. Trapped by unstable magic, desperately (but casually, no big deal, oh don’t fuss over me) reaching out. That’s Gale’s start but it’s also just… Gale’s story.

Okay, it’s horny henceforth…

Gale is a giver. That is, he's someone who wants to give, give entirely. His full self. It's what tangles Gale as possibly the most monogamous character, the most openly devoted character, the sincerest, but also a character easily distracted from the limitations of his own vows. Giving himself entirely isn't something he can do in the way that he wants with a one on one, mortal, committed partnership. 

Because Gale wants it to hurt. Gale wants it to destroy him. 

The Weave is many things for and to Gale, but for our purposes we have to talk about it as a balm to loneliness. At the Tiefling party, Gale possibly speaks about Tara being proud of him, and regrets he hasn’t given her much of that lately. He’s speaking of his tressym as an equal, almost as a parent. For him, saving the Tieflings feels like “having repaid the favor,” as if he needs to do penance for letting his tressym encourage him, aid him. She was all he had because he set up wards to prevent any colleague or friend from checking on him. Magic is the only companion allowed to see Gale if he’s not at 100%, if he’s not ready to be Wizard of Waterdeep™. Of course, Tara’s origins are relevant here. It’s easy to see Gale as someone with a streak of ambition but I think it all comes down to that first wound/heal with magic… Validation, company, companionship, magic gave that to him- rewarded him- with Tara at a very young age.

“Magic is my life. I’ve been in touch with the Weave for as long as I can remember.”

The Weave functions too as a neutral space for Gale to initially connect with Tav in the small, at least romance leaning Act I scene that happens after you engage him creating his little illusory Mystra. Gale showing Tav the Weave is a safer way for Gale to show himself. It’s an intrinsic part of who he is but it’s also a shield, a wall, a safety net. Teaching or showing Tav the Weave’s wonders gives him the control he seeks AND the opportunity to impress. “You feel something warm, like a kind word and a kind touch at the same time.” We have no way of knowing if this is what the Weave feels like to Gale, and so to us through him, or if what we’re feeling there is Gale’s influence over the Weave. Are we nestled in the cup Mystra’s hand or what Gale wants it to be? Wishes it would do for him? Is the sense of a kiss hovering about Tav and Gale or is that element of Mystra’s using of Gale so tangled in this magic that he can’t shake it free?

Mystra plucks him up. First teacher, then muse, then lover. Then the root of his demise. With Mystra he is both chosen and servant. I’d argue a worship kink is at play, or at the very least it is the lens in which Gale’s sense of sensuality has been most amplified.

At a point these feelings of conflict- never alone but lonely, wizard prodigy but just one of many men or boys plucked by Mystra, Wizard of Waterdeep but the Whatever of Mystra- are as crucial to his idea of the Weave, to magic, as the spells themselves. Gale has comparatively high charisma… his magic is a performance, as much to himself and of himself, as to anyone or for anyone/anything else.

Gale's boundary pushing is about proving himself through admiration, through praise. He craves it, good boy, Gale. Very the Wizard of Waterdeep of you.

His first assumption in New Love is that he has to offer Tav something more than himself. “I could do more than woo you - I could wow you.” Gale doesn’t understand how those are ultimately one and the same. Sex hasn’t been about connection, solidification, or strictly pleasure for him. It has been about proving himself, about being worthy, about service (which is another great somehow parallel & foil he has with Astarion but that’s for another time).

The specific intimacy of a blow job reverses the conflicted feelings and roles that Gale is accustomed to. In pornography and even popular culture, blow jobs are- erroneously in my opinion- depicted as something dominant and masterful for the receiver. Even something to be wielded as punishment or degrading, even in consensual BDSM practices.

In reality, a blow job is the ultimate submission. It makes Gale a man, it centers his manhood figuratively and literally. He loses a sense of control. Yes, even service gives one a sense of control. But the giver's power is not just in how their mouth wraps around ye classic quivering member. It's in intent. Pace. Pressure. Eye contact, the use of hands, fingers, even toys… The humanity of oral sex. And the humanity of the thing is not something Gale knows. 

Even if Mystra has played the giver it was for her game/goals and her pleasure. It was an adjustment to or pull of his strings. Gale tells Tav he has been with other mortals but I doubt as Gale the Man™. While creating a full night sky and seeking to do it the way the gods do (which we know means the way Mystra taught him or the way Mystra refers) is a genuine and catered moment for Tav, his other lovers no doubt got lazier, less genuine showmanship or else the wit and bravado and courtesy he thinks people expect of him. Early in Act I in his tale of the pub fight he manages to stop, the peace he makes comes at his cost- just monetary in that equation, but the point is, even in his performance of a Big Deal™, sexual or otherwise, Gale seeks to give to maintain the status quo. Gale’s sexuality, just like his magic, is genuine, sincere, and very present part of himself but it’s also unrecognizable to him if he has to stop thinking of it as a tool for five seconds.

Gale himself being a giver is something I really think he takes great pleasure in. His references to it out of the heat of the moment are something he is speaking about fondly and assuredly. He probably enjoys going down on someone as much as he enjoys magic. Like magic, he knows he’s good. Specifically with his tongue (I SCREAM). But remember, he is groomed by a goddess. A literal goddess. He is not just servicing, giving, he is WORSHIPING. Body worship is inherently submission and it’s specifically service oriented submission. Gale knows and has self esteem issues and hang ups around being submissive and if that submission secretly means he’s not good enough- likely why he tries to one up people, places, and things even as he begs to be back in that position of submission- but Gale genuinely likes being of service sexually. 

Gale, by virtue of being a great pretender, has never really given himself over to the real mortal experience of sex. Which brings us to the big moment of trust… 

The ultimate act of trust for Gale is letting someone in… he fully expects to be met with hatred and derision for his attempt with the orb. How could anything genuine be anything else? How could Gale's Folly, mortal, human, desperate, far reaching, reckless, be worth anything but hate? 

The reason Mystra can make Gale so easily believe that seeking these lost pieces of herself for her- even if unasked for, even if unwanted, even if upsetting to her, even if a misinterpretation of where their relationship stood at the time- was so unforgivable is because Gale thinks what the orb is doing to him reveals his ultimate sin, his glaring weakness… it makes him WANT. it makes him NEED. In Gale’s mind there’s nothing worse a man could do.

Blow jobs extend this into the element of control and real, physical intimacy. He's in your hands. He can't pace or bait his own pleasure. Pleasure is a thing happening to him. What is more human than the whimpers and moans in ecstacy when it feels so good you don't care if you cum or die? What does it mean for Gale to be made really and finally tangible and mortal in someone’s eyes? It’s the thing his most intimate connections have always liked least about him (and I imagine outright punished him for).

He can't earn credit or bonus points or paint himself the god. He will cum before you. You will give that gift to him. That's often the whole point. For Gale, anything like that with Mystra after being initially groomed by her into her hall of lovers would've been a debt. He might want you too much, too obviously, too greedily, if he’s in YOUR hands. Even his proposed “as the gods do” creates so many doubles of himself that you couldn’t have time to think, much less ever find yourself wanting. Gale genuinely connects to Tav, genuinely expresses love for them, but still does so by anticipating needs, assuming he isn’t enough, giving Tav no time to want or need, thereby leaving no room for adjustment, correction, or disappointment. 

Gale speaks about pushing the boundaries of magic. In having sex with Mystra he is taken into the vision of her world. But she won't go with him, won't take him further in, won't actually teach him or show him or grant him anything. The great beyond for Gale is not really magic or forgiveness or whatever… It's intimacy. 

Gale doesn't think he can just ask for intimacy. Doesn't think he can just find it organically. He must suffer for it, make a grand gesture, make up for the ways his mortality have dirtied Mystra by making her more herself, the way she was in Gale's mind before he tainted her with his want. Even in the realm of intimacy, he assumes he will have to be on his best behavior and earn it. It doesn’t occur to Gale until deep into Act II, post the romance scene and further validation from Tav, that having those restrictions on intimacy and care as a standard in a relationship is damaging, unfair, or cruel. 

“Now more than ever, it’s important to recall what makes us human.”

There is no right or wrong way to romance any of the romance options in Baldur’s Gate 3, of course. But narratively, Gale’s story begs for further examination and agency for Gale the Man, versus the Wizard of Waterdeep.Gale is at his best when he is open, vulnerable, and reaching out. He is as tactile seeking as he is ever-calculating about who he is to who, what he does or does not owe, what will maximize on paper his value and contributions. Left to his own devices, Gale will literally explode or transcend to avoid any offense or harm the baseness of his humanity might cause. Sex is a magic and spirituality that offers us briefly to transcend ourselves but while being wholly of our bodies, that makes we silly mortals keenly aware of our physical, limited humanity even as an orgasm can hit so hard you lightly trip balls and don’t know how to use your hands.

No one has ever needed a blow job more than Gale Dekarios. If he wants to explode, I MEAN

Pls tell me/us about your Cinderella Boy AU úwù

Oh hi Anon, I am SO GLAD YOU ASKED :D. I was literally working on it when I got this ask, very nice timing, friend

(i will, uh, try not to make this an excessive amount of paragraphs but bare with me, I'm a yapper).

So, tl;dr Cinderella Boy College AU babyyyy. Chase is a first year music theater major (he started a year late), and Buddy is a second year creative writing major.

(I don't actually remember if they're canonically the same age, but they are in this)

(also Deacon is here too, he's just over in med school but him and Chase hang out on weekends)

They meet through an Intro to Literature class that Buddy takes for his major and Chase regrets choosing as an elective credit. Eventually Chase has to accept that he Sucks So Bad at literary analysis and really doesn't want to fail a course in his first semester of college, so he reluctantly asks mr writing major to help him. Buddy agrees, with the trade off being that he's writing an anthology of short stories for a future capstone project and Chase has to read them and give feedback.

(Buddy says it's because he's aiming for a younger audience with some of the stories and if an idiot like Chase can understand them so can a kid. Secretly he just....doesn't have anyone else to ask and kind of just really wants someone else to read them so he saw the opportunity and took it. But you didn't hear that from me!).

They agree to those terms and off we go! Shenanigans and angst and rivals-to-lovers nonsense (my beloved) ensues!

Aaaand because i have little self control when I'm excited about an idea but no one irl who knows what the hell a cinderella boy is to talk about it with: a much longer explanation of the exposition is below the cut!

OKAY SO BASICALLY I had this funny idea the other day of a college AU where like the Intro to Lit class is an in-person/online hybrid, i.e., all the lectures and materials are posted online so people can enrolled in it as either an online or in-person class. Chase takes it in-person while Buddy couldn't fit the timeslot into his schedule and takes it online.

And like any basic college course, it has *drumroll* Online Discussion Posts! Objectively one of the most tedious assignments in any college class, and this class does 2-3 a week. This professor decided to try a Fun New thing this year, where all the posts and replies are anonymous to the students (he can still see them so he knows who did the assignment, obvs). Something, something, he wants to promote discussions between classmates instead of people just only ever replying to their friends or something. Chase wants to keep up his Branding™ and sign off his posts with his little tagline, but after the first post his professor says that "defeats the whole purpose" and "looks unprofessional." Chase signs off with a little star instead, which the professor reluctantly lets him do. (A few other students actually start doing it to with their own little symbols or emojis.)

Two weeks into classes and Chase is being DRIVEN INSANE by these discussion posts. No, no, not by the monotony of them. No, not by his lack of skill with literary analysis. Rather, there's one student in particular who just keeps replying to his discussion posts specifically and ALWAYS seems to have something to disagree with. And they're so pretentious about it. Chase knows it's always the same person because no one else in this mostly-just-an-elective-credit class is using words like "insufferable" and "colloquialism" and "alas" in a discussion post.

Something something, Chase does some sleuthing and figures out it must be one of the online students, which is annoying because he has no way to figure out who they are so he can tell them to lay off and chill the hell out. Until! Midterms roll around and some random new guy is just in the class for the test. Oh, it's just an online student who didn't want to deal with one of those stupid virtual proctor websites, and since he lives on campus anyway he asked if he could just take it in-person. Yeah, that's fair. But then the new guy says something (idk what yet) and the phrasing of it makes it click in Chase's head that Oh my god that HAS to be Buddy holy shit

(sidenote, in this story the name "Buddy" comes from Chase ranting to Deacon about the random anon student and sarcastically calling them Buddy as a joke. But then that nickname just sticks because when you're pissed off and ranting "Buddy" is so much faster to say that "that anonymous asshole from my intro to lit class" ya know? So like, save for Chase saying it in an angry reply to the anon student once or twice, he hasn't directly called Buddy, Buddy before until like he confronts him after midterms).

I haven't quite figured out the interim of how they go from "Oh my god that's the annoying anonymous dude" and Buddy not even realizing Chase is the Star-kid (.....ha) in those discussion posts–

((sidenote 2, electric boogaloo, the reason Buddy is so snarky on the discussion posts is because, naturally, he thinks literature is Very Important and that it's annoying how obvious it is that most of this class is just taking it as an elective so they aren't putting in any real effort to learning anything. The discussion posts are all literary analysis on short passages and his classmates do, like, the bare minimum for it. He doesn't just respond to Chase's posts in a snarky tone, but most of the students fully ignore his responses and do not improve and he decides they're a lost cause. Chase is also a lost cause, but sometimes Chase argues back and okay fine Buddy has to admit that's kind of entertaining. So Buddy always makes sure to respond to the one with the stupid little star at the bottom. As a treat))

–and to them being like, civil enough that Chase finally caves and asks Buddy to tutor him, but eventually they get there. And that's how we get to the rest of that tl;dr! Chase asks for help in class, Buddy agrees as long as Chase helps him with his creative writing projects, they start meeting up to work on classwork regularly and once a week or so Buddy brings a print-out of another short story for Chase to take with him after. And Chase does his best to return it with some amount of helpful annotations.

(I totally forgot until after I came up with that idea, but I actually kind of did that once in college. Except I wasn't a creative writing major, one of my good friends was. I was entering a short story in a competition once so I gave him a printed copy of it and he gave it back a few days later covered in annotations lol)

And I DO plan to include Buddy's short stories as their own things! I have a few ideas for them already, basically I'm going to write a few original short stories that I can insert as their own little in-between chapters whenever Buddy gives Chase a new one to read. They'd probably be posted at the same time as either the chapter before or chapter after it, depending on which chapter would make more sense to pair it with narratively.

I think the first will be some parody of Cinderella, because duh. But like less of a "Cinderella, but in a new setting" thing and more like from the pov of a totally different character, where the actual Cinderella plot is lowkey almost just in the background. Idk it seems fun and like something Creative-Writing-Major-Buddy would write. Or maybe I'm projecting because I just think it sounds fun to write. Or maybe both!

One specifically that's a minorly pivotal moment for them is actually just a short-story-ified version of a poem I wrote years ago, and the moment in the story is basically just Buddy felt it was an optimistic story, whereas Chase felt like it was really sad, and both are incredibly thrown off by the dissonance that realization creates.

Which is also kind of from personal experience actually! Small tangent, but that happened with the poem back when I first wrote it too. To me, it was a melancholy but overall optimistic poem about life. I shared it with some people and seemingly all of them thought it felt sad and almost hopeless. I was SO thrown off! Because I really felt like it was hopeful, not hopeless, but it felt like I was the only person who saw it like that. As silly as it sounds, that (plus a couple other personal reasons) made me struggle with writing anything for a long time because I was a little afraid of feeling so isolated by my own work again.

(In hindsight, I can see how it came across like that to them. It still remains one of my favorites that I've written though. I actually completely rewrote it to enter in a contest just a few months ago! The newer version is much better, and I think actually gets across the intended mood a lot more)

*ahem* So, uh, anyway! I amp all that up a bit in the story for the sake of ~drama~ of course, but that's where the general idea for that scene comes from. I've already written the scene actually! I just don't know how far into the story it'll happen yet.

I'm also still on the fence about how to include the keyple we know about in canon. I can't decide if I want to just make them like other students and/or friends who appear in the story, or if I just want to like really allude to them. Leave references in the stories Buddy writes or classwork they do or stuff like that, etc.

And I'm also-also on the fence about if I should give Buddy a fake name for sake of the plot. If I do, I'm definitely going to swap it for his real name once that's properly revealed. On one hand, being in a college setting it would make a lot more sense for Chase to find out his actual name early on, even if he still calls him Buddy to be annoying. But on the other hand, Buddy totally would refuse to tell Chase his name, also to be annoying, if doing that annoys Chase more than the nickname annoys him. But on a secret, third hand, it feels so weird to give Buddy a fake name lol. Like even if I wasn't a fast-passer I think it'd still feel weird.

Then again, depending on how slow I end up writing this, the free episodes might catch up to fast pass before I even need to worry about that and I can just use his actual name from the get-go.

Phew! That sure was fun to talk about! *scrolls back through this post* oh yikes, uh, well you asked for it anon! If you actually read this far down, thank you, bless, I warned you that I yap but I appreciate your fortitude very much lol

I have no idea when I'll start posting the fic bc I worry about like getting through a couple chapters, posting them immediately, then losing steam and just....dropping it or taking forever to update after. So I want to get at least a few chapters written before I start posting any, ya know? But I've been wanting to get back into creative writing for a LONG time so I'm really going to try to stick with it! Just, bare with me if it takes a while lol

[dr-spectre]

Im gonna be up front with you guys, im getting really annoyed at people saying that Amy Rose has gone through character development and that's why her characterisation is different and why she's very mellowed out, has no anger issues and her love of Sonic is virtually gone.

Is it, quite literally, insufferable and downright damaging in my eyes.

(Also btw i am gonna rant and be very rambley, I saw a fucking awful post on Reddit about Amy and I'm in a bad mood while writing this.)

Now, I'm gonna say this because I don't wanna make anyone upset, if you genuinely like Amy's new characterization then that's perfectly fine. THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK ON YOU!!!!! THIS IS JUST ME CRITICISING WRITING FROM A SUBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW!! OKAY?!?!? WE GOOD?!?! Anyways!

A character arc or character development is something that happens IN a story. It is something that DOESN'T happen OUTSIDE of a story.

HOWEVER!!!! If a character does go through change outside of a story and comes back then it's up to the writers to properly explain WHY a character has changed.

The issue with Amy is that they DON'T EXPLAIN WHY SHES CHANGED SO MUCH BETWEEN LOST WORLD, FORCES AND FRONTIERS!!!! And no, a fucking character profile on a website doesn't count too. That's a cop out and you know it. And an Eggman memo that is completely optional is not enough either, Sonic Frontiers had MULTIPLE HOURS FOCUSED ON AMY AND THEY SPENT NO TIME EXPLAINING IT!

You cannot have a character act a certain way and then change it willy nilly without properly explaining why. It's like if let's say Callie in Splatoon 4 suddenly had Marie's personality and they didn't elaborate on it at all. And some random sunken scroll said "Callie has grown up quite a lot."

A lot of the explanations that I've seen online border down to headcanons not supported enough in the universe and like, here's the thing, you can have your own headcanons and stuff, its fine to have them of course, but to basically force them down and get upset at others for criticising Amy's modern characterisation is just unhealthy behaviour man. It's truly unhealthy.

And i think what's really made me fucking mad is that they are taking this modern version of Amy and retroactively applying to old stories like Generations. And that shit boils my blood, why rewrite history? Why try to hide what the character was like? IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SHOW THAT AMY HAS GONE THROUGH CHARACTER CHANGE THEN WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU REWRITE A PREVIOUS STORY?!?!?!?!?!?! WHY?!?!?!?! THAT'S IDIOTIC ON SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY LEVELS!!!!!

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE AMY'S LOVE AND ADMIRATION FOR SONIC HIDDEN AND LIKE A HIDDEN CRUSH?!?!?! WHY IS AMY LIKE THIS NOW?!?!?! EXPLAIN!

"They are just trying to give her depth!! Instead of just making her an obsessed abusive stalker!" What depth? Explain to me what depth does Amy have? What hopes and wishes and fears does Amy have in Frontiers? What's her hobbies? Her interests? Her wants? Her needs? She wants to do what exactly? Share love with the world? How? Give flowers? Help the homeless? Like... WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?!?!?!

At least with Sonic he's a flat character, he's allowed to have no strong goals or change because the whole point of Sonic is that he is the spark to change OTHERS! Shara, Merlina, the list goes on, he is the one who inspires change, he can get away with not changing. But Amy? If you said that they changed then WHY DID THEY CHANGE?!!? WHY DID AMY CHANGE THEN?! GO ON! EXPLAIN IT TO ME!!

I fucking hate the notion that Amy was this absolute monster who wanted to assault Sonic and force him into marriage. Have you fucking replayed Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 recently? Have you played through the games with the original Japanese dialogue? Or are you letting fan animations from 2009 cloud your judgement? Amy has a crush on Sonic, she's inspired by him, it's a fangirl sort of love towards him. Hell she says that Sonic and her are tied together by fate in a non romantic fashion in CD and Heroes.

Amy follows Sonic because not only does she have a simple childish crush for Sonic, but also because she thinks they are tied somehow by fate, Sonic inspires Amy, Amy loves Sonic on various levels. She wants to impress him and show just how capable she is.

Amy in Adventure 1 just wants excitement and thrill, she goes with Sonic in her story because she wants to protect a bird, not because she's lusting after him like some believe was the case. She was just really damn bored and saw an opportunity for adventure.

Amy in Adventure 2 tags along because again, she likes thrill and adventure, she wants excitement and Sonic is always in dangerous stuff, so she tags along.

Plus AMY'S MOST ICONIC MOMENTS IN THOSE TWO GAMES ARE HER BEING A VITAL PART IN INSPIRING CHANGE IN OTHERS!

JUST LIKE HER HERO SONIC!!!! IT GOES FULL CIRCLE FROM SONIC CD TO ADVENTURE!!!!!!

I really do want y'all to rewatch these cutscenes with retranslation mods, trust me, they are more emotional than you realize and it proves that Amy in the 2000s was more than you think she was. She was never an abusive or malicious person towards anyone. She never tried to force Sonic into anything fucked up and had a playful back and forth with him, especially in the Japanese versions where all mentions of marriage and shit is gone.

Unlike in Frontiers, where their banter was non-existent, and the most interesting it got is when Amy snapped at Sonic for not helping the Koco.

And if you fucking bring up the god damn "Sonic, this time there's no way out of marrying me!" line dude, listen, imma need you to shut the fuck up.

First, the line from the original Japanese release is less forceful sounding and more playful.

Second, if you genuinely count this as abuse or sexual assault then you need to get the fuck out. I've actually seen people say that Amy assaults Sonic and does all this bad shit to him. Buddy, my brother in Christ.

THEY ARE CARTOON CHARACTERS DESIGNED FOR ALL AUDIENCES! THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO REFLECT HOW ACTUAL PEOPLE ACT AND BEHAVE! THEY HAVE EXAGGERATED PERSONALITIES AND TRAITS! IT IS MEANT TO BE A FUNNY THING FOR KIDS TO GO "ewww" AT! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TONE WORKS?!?!?! WHY ARE YOU TAKING THE WORDS OF A TEEN PINK HEDGEHOG SO SERIOUSLY?! SONIC HEROES TONE IS MEANT TO BE VERY LIGHTHEARTED!

Why the fuck would you look at Amy trying to beat up Sonic in Sonic Riders after he risked her life AS ACTUAL ASSUALT AND GO "omg Amy is so mean and abusive! They need to change her character!!" SHE ALMOST FUCKING DIED!!! SHE WOULD BE MAD AT SONIC AND WANNA HURT HIM OUT OF ANGER!!! HELLO?!?!

Name me a cool character moment that Amy had in Frontiers. Go on, do it. Because i can't think of any. Aside from her talking shit towards Sage.

Look, if you found Amy annoying in the older games, i get it, but i swear to god your mind will change immediately if you play through the older titles with retranslated dialogue. The old English translation for these games were hot garbage and created a huge amount of misconceptions about how the characters actually act. It's better nowadays thankfully but there's still issues like Frontiers having drastically different dialogue and Amy apparently maintaining the same old dialogue she had in Generations for the remaster. So the new dialogue made by Ian Flynn was not applied to the Japanese version, APPARENTLY! I'M NOT SURE ON THAT! I NEED SOMEONE TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT FOR ME!

And speaking of Ian Flynn, i don't know if it's his fault or not for Amy's new characterization. I think Amy changed due to Sega and Sonic Team receiving poor faithed criticism that "Amy is too annoying! She's so obsessive and angry!" and so now all media with Amy is trying to unify into this neutral and boring personality, and Ian Flynn was probably guided to make Amy act a certain way by them.

I do think that the hate Ian Flynn gets is a bit too much, like sure sometimes his dialogue and the way he handles themes is a bit.... shite. (Seriously what was the theme of Frontier's story? Cause even i don't know. "Without the time stones??" haunts my dreams every night...) But after Shadow Generations and with the right team, i know that man can cook, i don't put the blame on him. Writers don't have as much freedom as you guys think... People check the stuff they have written, that shit has to be approved and changes must be done if the higher ups don't like it.

I wanna conclude by saying this, if there was a story or sub-plot in a Sonic game where Amy learns to reflect on past actions and go "you know maybe i was a little crazy towards Sonic, i should try to just be a great friend towards him instead!" I wouldn't mind that. I would enjoy it probably.

But you gotta fucking SHOW the character change for me to care about the new characterisation, otherwise I'm gonna see it as forced and damaging towards Amy as a character. What is one of the biggest things in storytelling?

SHOW! DONT TELL!

(Note: show dont tell isn't a hard stuck thing btw. It's more so "if you can show instead of telling it, do it instead.")

Im kinda fucking sick of the overly toxic positivity mindset that's been going on with the Sonic community. It feels like walking around eggshells and you can't voice ANY criticisms at all. Sure are there lots of bad takes and harsh shit towards the games and media that it doesn't really deserve? Absolutely! I can name you plenty of high and mighty pricks in the community that give off vague criticism and are cunts about it, but for the love of God, if someone doesn't like the current characterisation of a character, don't fucking bully them for God sake. Don't restrict their takes, don't belittle them and think they are dumb. I have said some harsh things but I'm just genuinely frustrated with the community as a whole.

Guys, communities should not be a hivemind okay? That shit is boring and doesn't create for interesting discussions on what the series can improve on. If someone doesn't like the current model of Sonic for example but you do? That's fine. It's okay.

They have their own take, you have your own take. I'm not gonna call another person a moron for liking the current Amy we have. I know plenty of people who like the current Amy and I've seen what Amy in Frontiers has done to people. I know of people who now like Amy thanks to her recent appearances, and you know what? That's a good thing!!!!

But... I kinda wish they fell in love with the rose with thorns, the woman who reflected the values of her hero she admired, the one who helped Gamma and Shadow. I want them to fall in love with her. You know?

Sims 4 x 10 Years!

Ten years ago today, I booked the day off on my work schedule and played a lot of Sims 4.

I'd been a Simmer since 2000, after one of my kids asked for the game because they'd seen it at a friend's house. I played The Sims, and then Sims 2, and then Sims 3. Sims 3 and my computer didn't get on too well, and I fought it a lot, wanting to play rotationally as a micromanager! When the Sims 4 trailers started coming out, I felt like they'd finally made a version of the game that was really for me, as a micromanaging rotational player who doesn't want to restart for new packs and new worlds, and who likes some quirk and exaggeration.  

So on September 2, 2014, I installed Sims 4. (I'd preordered, of course!) I downloaded trailer Sims from the Gallery (I still have a soft spot for Amber -- in one of my saves, back around 2015, she married Elvis Presley). I giggled at Sims sticking their fingers in their ear while they cooked. I got annoyed by the push-ups. I completely failed at making a roof. A Sim read a book while on the toilet and I was delighted. I took my Willow Creek Sim to visit the bar in Oasis Springs and enjoyed the view there (I like the dinos).

I made a self-Sim and spent lots of time tweaking her face till my husband came into the room, glanced at my monitor, and said, "Hey, that's actually you!" She's still my self-Sim (over on my avatar there). I just update her look now and then as I update my own.

I had a lot of fun, and I found myself using Sims as a new creative outlet in ways I hadn't so much before. I felt creative.

Eventually I confessed to my daughter that I'd actually played with my self-Sim. Here she is as a scientist back in 2015. Once upon a time, in an earlier version of the game, we -- me and my kids -- were playing with "us" in game and I died in a model rocket accident. This was traumatic and I was not supposed to play with "us" anymore. This time I did not die.

And here I am still playing! (But my hair went white.) I've had three-day saves and seven-year saves (RIP that save!). I've played every pack, but there are still base game things I haven't done! Sometimes I get really caught up in too much micromanaging with the game (townies really do often need fixing), then a new pack comes out and I try new things and it's a lot of fun again. It makes me laugh.

I've also made new friends in Sims communities and helped lots of Simmers keep playing the game. I started doing that back in 2014. A lot of the Sims community back then was focusing on what was bad about Sims 4. I was having fun with it, though, and enjoyed helping other people on the Forums who just wanted to do that.

That just kind of... morphed. It turned into some Forums posts gathering scattered info about upcoming packs from the various places SimGurus were saying things (I stopped doing those a couple of years ago -- there are websites gathering that info now, and a lot less places it turns up too). It turned into threads gathering info about mods that got broken in big game patches... and that was way back in 2015! I'm delighted that it turned into a whole thing in the community, with different places providing the info different ways. Getting to know the modding community after starting that has been a lot of fun. I even brushed off my old programming knowledge from high school and took over some mods from a modder I'd gotten to know well. I do like the lack of punch cards in modern programming!

I'm also super thankful to EA and Maxis for inviting me some years ago to be a Game Changer (the program that morphed into the EA Creator Network). I love the connections I have with other creators and storytellers and support people in the EACN, even if I feel really tiny next to the big names with their thousands and thousands of followers (but a quick thank you to my little group of Patrons! I appreciate you a ton!). I am also very appreciative of the gifted packs from EA that I receive as part of the EACN. They've helped make it a little bit easier to volunteer my time to supporting other Simmers, even if I do now have to put disclaimers on gameplay content I post, which sometimes feels a bit silly.

tldr: Happy 10th Birthday, Sims 4! I hope it's a fabulous one.

And now I'm going to grab some lunch, do some chores, then dive back into my current save. Cassandra has two love interests to consider, and that jewel is charging up. Plus she really needs a cat. And some actual income. And some improvements in her spellcasting (my previous save's Cassandra was a Mermaid). And that's not to start on Alexander building some skills before he heads off to uni for Robotics...

Psst... 

Don't forget to mark on your calendar the next anniversary. The Sims franchise will be 25 on February 4, 2025!

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Summary: Reader has a love hate relation ship with her superior but thinks nothing will come of it until one night at a Halloween party.

Word Count: 4,368

Warnings: 18+, smut, no condoms, dirty talk

One thing that always bothered you in your career is when people asked why you joined the military. Or what drew you to it. Some people answer because of college, career opportunity, or even because of the experience. But not you. You chose it because you didn’t know what you wanted to do with your life. You thought you had enough time in highschool to decide what you wanted to do with the rest of your life. But unfortunately senior year came and went and you still had no idea what you wanted to do. Of course you could’ve gone to community college or taken a leap year. To you though, that just felt like procrastination. You wanted to at least be doing something valuable with your time and energy. Instead of getting a minimum wage job or taking classes you didn’t care for. There wasn’t anything wrong with either of those things, but to you it wasn’t what you wanted. So when people asked why you joined, you would just answer “because I didn’t have anything else to do.” They either laugh or are taken aback by the dry answer. You didn’t care either way considering you’re now a year in, working on two degrees, have decent benefits, and pay is good for your field. And most importantly you found something you wanted to do with your life. But of course there are always downsides to good things. Your one downside? Steve motherfucking Rogers. 

Sergeant Rogers. Where do you start when describing him? Is it the fake personality he puts on or is it the pretentious demeanor he parades around. Either way you can’t stand that man no matter how long you’ve known him or worked with him. He’s always nice to everyone, smiles all around, joking non stop. But to you it’s the complete opposite. Its blunt comments, ridiculous requests when it comes to work, and a rude attitude. But that’s not the worst part. The problem is how no matter what he says or does, you still find him undeniably attractive. Perhaps there’s a bit of sadism in how much you enjoy the hateful relationship you give each other. Like cat and mouse but with spiteful words and crude comments. It’s like an adrenaline rush when you two are around each other. Heated words, sexual tension, and hatred. But of course you’d never give him the satisfaction of knowing what you actually think. For all he will ever know is how much you despise him and his stupid self. 

The coffee maker whirs alive as it begins brewing a single cup in your favorite mug you keep at work. Natasha’s words are in the background describing the Halloween party you and her are throwing and what all you need to gather for it.

“Do you think it’s too much?” She asks as she pours creamer into her own mug. Referring to the matching costumes she picked out for the two of you. Strawberry shortcake characters, or as the website cited “berry babes.”

“No, I like it, it’s cute. But I am not wearing that hat.” You sit your mug down as you shake your head at the silly headwear. In your defense it looked like what the mom from the Berenstain’s Bears would wear. 

“Fair enough, but you have to at least carry a basket for the pictures. We didn’t get any last year.” Natasha refers to the two of you last Halloween being plastered before midnight. You and her forgot your tolerance and went overboard. 

“Yeah, yeah I know. It’s not my fault you make strong drinks.” You joke with a smile.

 She holds her hands up in defense replying, “it helps when  I can taste it so I know I’m getting my worth. What’s the point of drinking if you don't get drunk.” 

She made a very good point that morning.

You’re in the middle of finishing up a small task when your phone buzzes. A notification from Natasha appears with the message:

Sgt. Rogers wants to see you

You reply with the eyeroll emoji already annoyed with having to see him. You don’t have the best record with how often you’re in trouble. More so how often he likes to say that you’re in trouble. It usually is never that serious but he enjoys threatening you with consequences as well as giving you bullshit tasks when he’s pushed. It’s usually because of your quick witted remarks and your attitude as well. Which you never noticed a problem with but you enjoy getting him upset when he starts it. This is annoying alone cause this probably could have been an email. He just loves to make your job harder than it needs to be. 

She replies back with a laugh reaction knowing how he can be towards you. You figure it will either be a petty remark about something you did or about work that needs to be finished or redone. He loves to have you do work he could finish himself.  Sometimes you wonder if you’re working for the army or just as his personal assistant with the way he acts. Not putting too much worry on yourself you head to his office hoping it won’t take long. He knows you don’t like doing stuff before lunch. And you’re due for lunch in less than 10. Right on par for Rogers. 

Your knock is small when you reach the door hoping he doesn’t hear it. Maybe you could email him and say you tried to come by earlier. But of course nothing gets past him.

“Come in,” Rogers says as you brace yourself before entering. 

“You wanted to see me.” Your tone is more a statement hoping to come across as ‘hurry up I have to get to lunch in 5 or else I’ll be hangry’. You only had a coffee for breakfast after all.

“I was hoping to discuss the schedule change you made.” He moves his mouse around assuming he’s checking your request form.

You sit down as you answer “oh yeah, I figured I have enough personal time that I could have off since it is a Friday.”

 Truthfully you haven’t had time off in forever it felt like and rarely had to even use sick days. You figured getting off early for Friday would be good since you would be able to help set up for the party and have an early day. 

“Yeah I don’t know about that. I figured we’ll need someone for a few things.” His reply makes your stomach drop. 

No fucking way, I earned that time off is what you wanted to say but all you could muster was “excuse me?” 

He smirks as he sees you getting annoyed. “I know you requested it but what can I do? I may need someone here and well, it’s your job.”

You lean forward in the chair sitting becoming frustrated, “I requested my day off over a month ago. I do not take time off nor do I ever not get my work done.I think I should be approved. Besides there is nothing on Friday that needs to be done that can’t be done Thursday or wait until Monday to be finished.” 

He hums in disagreement, “you know another thing I should also bring up is that attitude problem of yours.” 

He gets up from his position as he walks over to you as he continues, “I think your problem is that you have an issue with being obedient and abiding by the rules.” 

You’re almost taken aback by his statement and without thinking say “I think your problem is that your power drunk and try to belittle me to make your job a little more interesting. If I can’t have leave approved, fine but don’t expect me to come in Friday because I think I’m coming down with something.” You almost want to fake a cough to add to the matter.

He leans over you, hands on either side of you trapping you in his presence. His voice is low and almost harsh “and that mouth of yours right there is what keeps you in trouble.” 

There’s a hint of playfulness in your voice when you say “I know.” You push your chest out challenging him against his authority. Trying to get closer to him. Half of you wanting to piss him off and the other half wanting to be as close as possible.  His eyes travel from yours to then to your body. There’s a thick tension that hangs in the air as you wait for his next move.

He leans his head down, lips brushed against your ear sending goosebumps down your spine, “don’t start what you can’t finish (Y/N)” his tone is stern and serious. It almost makes you want to see how far you can go with him. 

Just as you plan your next move he speaks again “you’re dismissed.” Just like that he’s back to how he was before.

Your phone speaker blares music as you finish getting ready for the party. Just a few touches to your makeup and hair and you’ll be finished. Thursday has arrived for a night of drinking, dancing, and having fun with friends. Even though you’ve been looking forward to tonight, your mind has been occupied. You haven’t forgotten about the little episode with your sergeant. It’s really all you’ve thought about since it happened earlier this week. You couldn’t believe it actually happened. So close to fulfilling that fantasy of yours yet still on edge. Unfortunately though you didn’t see him much this week. Which made it worse since you couldn’t tell if he was serious about the interaction or just playing a joke to make you feel weak. Either way you’ve decided tonight to push any thought of what happened away. 

Around 9pm is when the party started with a house full of people, drinks being handed out, and music becoming increasingly louder the more people drank. You made yourself a drink not too long ago and plan on nursing on it for a while. Not wanting to repeat last year's activities of course. You’re filling a punch bowl up with a cocktail mixture as Natatasha walks in very giddy.

“Don’t tell me you took shots without me. I thought we were taking it semi slow until later.” You say jokingly pouring some off brand cranberry pineapple juice into the large bowl.

“Please, I was there too. I do not want to be laid over a toilet bowl with an ice pack on my head again.” She says looking for a handle to put in the bowl.

“So if it’s not the alcohol talking then I assume you’re excited for a guy, Bucky I assume, am I getting warmer?” Anytime she likes a guy she always has the same grin and walk when she walks about him or on her mind. 

“You’re hot. He said he was able to make it. He even said he’ll bring a few friends.” Her voice is excited as she speaks about him. You know what that means, matchmaker. 

“You know my thing. I never want to get involved with guy friends in case anything goes south.” Nothing worse than double dating and there’s a falling out to make everything awkward.

“Oh you’re just upset because Rogers hasn’t bent you over yet.” You softly slap her arm as you gasp dramatically.

“Hey, that’s different. If that ever goes wrong I can always transfer. Or ya know, completely change my identity and name and never be seen again.” Half of that was true. That would be mortifying if his plan was just joking with no intentions of pursuing you like you do for him. 

“I’m just saying. You two have been playing this cat and mouse game for a little bit. I think you should just go for it.” She transfers a few cups to the table organizing a few things.

“Maybe but I don’t know how I would even go about it. I don’t want him to laugh in my face or worse, pretend like it never happened.” She rolls her eyes at your exaggeration .

“Are you kidding me? For a year or so you two have been at each other. The suggestive remarks, the not so little glances, plus the promotions you’ve gotten even though we both know you haven’t been there long ago to receive. No offense.” You nod in agreement understanding where she’s coming from as she continues. “All I am saying is he must at least like you a little.”

You roll your eyes asking playfully, “you think so?” 

“I may tell a joke but I’ll never tell a lie.” You hug each other thanking her as she pulls away to answer her phone. 

She holds a finger up as she answers, “hey! Yeah just wherever you can find parking.” She trails off as she leaves the kitchen to help find parking for whoever is on the other line. 

Two drinks in you’re already feeling a buzz making you feel fuzzy and warm. You and Wanda are in the middle of a conversation when Nat pulls your attention away. 

“Can I steal her for a moment? I wanted you to meet Bucky.”  You’ve been excited to meet him with how long they’ve been talking (a few months). It’s rare she dates seriously so he must be something. 

She holds your arm making your way to the front entrance of your shared home. You find a brunette man putting his belongings in his coat before hanging it up. 

“Nice.” You whisper to her as you check him out.

“I know right, who would’ve thought I would meet someone in a grocery store of all places.” He asked her out by using some lines about if she liked grapes or something. Corny but cute at least it wasn’t a dating app.

“Bucky this is Y/N, Y/N Bucky.” You shake his hand telling him you’re glad he could make it and to make himself at home.

“Thank you, I’ve heard a lot about you. Natasha really seems to look up to you.” He says in a genuine tone.

You pout your lip out at her, as she sticks her tongue out at you “aw that’s too sweet. I can say the same to you.” 

Before any more conversation can be made the front door opens revealing none other than Steve Rogers. You feel like your buzz is making your heart race 2x as worse with how fast your heart is beating. 

“Hope you don’t mind, I invited a friend. I figured since it’s a party the more the merrier right.” Bucky says as he introduces Steve. You know right now would be a good time to have already been hammered. 

Nat finds you in the kitchen pouring shots.

“Please don’t be mad. I didn’t know he was friends with him.”

You stare at her, giving her another chance to change her answer.

“Okay I did but I thought it would be a good thing. You know relationships are different inside and outside of work.” She says trying to make light of the situation.

“I’m not mad. Maybe a little but more so nervous. I’ve never seen him outside of work let alone hung out with him. Should I try to conversate or should I just ignore him? I mean what if-?” 

She  cuts you off before you can finish your sentence “You say he ‘hates you’ but we both know that men are only mean to women when it comes down to two things. They either find them ugly or they want to fuck them. And you are nowhere near the first choice. I mean look at you, very few can pull off a bulky army uniform yet alone tonight. You look irresistible.” 

“You know what, you’re right. I am hot” you say hyping yourself up as you continue  “I’m not going to make any moves though. If he wants me, he can finish what he started.” You take a shot with Nat before making your way back to the party.

You, Wanda, and Natasha find yourselves making a circle with one another. Bodies moving with the beat of the music. With the alcohol running through your system and the party music in your ears you let yourself loose. 

“Do you know that guy over there?” Wanda asks you as she directs your eyes to a few guys in the corner of the living room talking.

“Which one?” you turn around asking confused. Finding Steve staring at you then quickly looking away.

“Tall blonde one. He’s been looking over a lot at you.” You laugh a little at her answer.

“That’s my sergeant. The one I told you about.” You and the girls laugh as he looks over again making a confused face. 

“Don’t look now but he’s coming over here.” Wanda begins to back up to give you a little space as he approaches.

“Oh don’t worry about him, he’s not going to do anything.” You say insinuating he’s a coward.

“Do you girls mind if I steal her away for a minute?” His tone is firm as he grabs your arm not caring of their answer.

“She’s all yours” Nat says as she and Wanda make kissing faces at you as he drags you away from them.

“Where’s your room?” You roll your eyes.

“No hello, or how are you? If you need the bathroom there’s one near the kitchen.” You say snapping at him.

“I’m not asking again.” You direct him near a hallway showing him.

“Why do you need it?” You ask as he opens your door, almost throwing the both of you in it.

“Hey you could at least take me out first.” Your joke doesn’t land as he grabs you closely. His face is so close to yours you can smell the gum and beer mixture on his breath.

“I’ll take you out after but first I want to show you I will do something. Especially about that bratty attitude of yours.” You're taken aback as you feel like this can’t be real until you hear his button pop and zipper become undone.

“No amount of extra work I give you or threats ever close that mouth of yours but I know what will.” He has a smug look on his face as he pushes his jeans down proudly showing his hard on.

“Down, now.” He commands as you instinctually get on your knees. Letting the plush carpet support you. You look up at him as he nods for you to continue going. He finds his hands in your hair as you slip your fingers into the waistband of his boxers and peel them down. His cock is almost intimidating with how thick it is. 

He taps your lips with the tip as if he’s asking for an invitation to open. You of course obliged as he slowly pushes his cock into your mouth. Making sure not to go too fast or too rough. He mumbles something to himself as you close your eyes as you welcome the heaviness on your tongue.

“Oh fuck, that’s it. Good girl.” His voice is almost a whisper as he finds his hands guiding the back of your head. 

Your mouth mainly focuses on the head finding precum already waiting for you. The saliva and precum make it easier for you to take him but not enough with how thick he is. You're thankful that he isn’t too rough with his pace as he pushes himself a little more into your mouth.

“Don’t worry. I know bunnies aren't able to take too much.” You use that to fuel your next move. 

You breathe in as much as you can before swallowing all of him. You feel out of breath but the pain is nothing compared to how proud you feel pleasuring him. He doubles over a little as he rocks his hips. He grips your head harder as he pulls out halfway before quickly shoving himself back in. Your drool is dripping from your mouth as your eyes water, no doubt that your eye makeup is smearing. Your gags are like music to his ears. He doesn’t seem to care about you at this moment as he uses your mouth like a sex toy.

“Fuck you’re so good. I could fuck your mouth forever.” He says finally giving one last thrust as he pulls out leaving his cock shiny with spit and precum. You go to wipe your mouth with your hand but he stops you.

“Leave it. I want to see you ruined.” He pulls you back up to your feet, thankful that your knees aren’t hurting anymore.

He kisses you not caring about the wetness as he finds the hem of the dress going underneath it.

“I always wondered what kind of panties you wore.” He says in between the kisses. He finds a surprise as he realizes no panties are to be found. He smacks your ass making you gasp.

“No panties? Should've known a slut like you wouldn’t wear them.” He rubs his fingers over your wet slit letting them soak in your wetness before applying pressure to your clit.

“If you would’ve fucked me the other day you would’ve seen I mostly wear thongs.” Your voice is smaller as he rubs circular motions around your clit.

“Trust me if the office had been empty I would’ve fucked you so hard the only words you would’ve remembered were yes sir.” His fingers stretch your hole as you buckle underneath him.

“I haven’t even started yet. You're already getting stupid on my fingers bunny?” His tone is condescending as you can only nod watching him use you, exposing you in the most intimate way. 

Without exchanging words he tosses you on the bed. He takes his shirt off before climbing on top of you. 

“I’m going to say this once. I respect you, but what I’m about to do is going to show no mercy. Do you understand?” His eyes are locked with yours as you nod, responding “yes sir.”

With a verbal agreement he pushes the straps off your costume and helps pull the top off of you leaving you bare underneath him. He grabs the small of your neck kissing you while his other hand finds your breasts and pinches your nipples before slapping them harshly. You cuss as he smiles in between the kisses. You grind against him, making his thigh wet as his fingers find your hole again letting them in eagerly. You whine as his thick fingers lock around him. 

“That feels so good.” You moan, laying your head on the pillow.

“Gotta make sure you can take me.” He says taking a nipple into his mouth and sucking on it. He bites it gently before pulling both his mouth away and his fingers.

He positions himself between your legs. Grabbing the base of his cock he slips it between your lips letting it become wet. His tip rubs your clit after each pass making it swollen. He repeats it a few times before lining himself up with your wet hole. He rests one hand on your bent knee while the other guides his shaft. You feel yourself fall apart as he slowly enters. The words ‘oh my god’ fall from your mouth as he stretches you and fills you up.

You both watch his cock sink into you. He spreads your lower half to help himself go deeper until he’s left with nothing. He begins moving as your g-spot is already beginning to be bullied. You grab onto his forearms to stabilize yourself from his brutal thrusts.

“You feel like absolute heaven.” He says leaning down to kiss your ear then nipping it.

“Your cock- you feel so good.” You stutter through your words.

“You’re the tightest little bunny I’ve ever gotten the pleasure to use.” His words send a shock through you making you dizzy.

He leans back up giving you one last kiss as he sits back up. His muscular thighs lay under your behalf creating a deepend position. Your wide position makes it easier to pound into you. You use one of your hands to rub your clit as he hate fucks you into the mattress. You can feel how wet you are by the slickness of your ass and his thighs. The sounds of your moans and wetness fill the room competing with the loud music throughout the party. 

“Your little cunt can’t get enough of me. Sucking my cock so eagerly.” He says slapping the inside of your thigh. You whine at his vulgar words. 

“Mm I never want to use my fingers again, only your cock,” referring to the countless times you masturbated to him. 

“Yeah, you can have my cock whenever you want bunny.” His thrusts begin to become slower as he gets closer to an orgasm. 

You speed up with your fingers as he angles his hips to pound your g-spot. Your body aching wanting to come around his cock. He grabs your legs, pressing your knees into you as he fucks himself into you. Using your wet tight hole as nothing but an object. You grab one of your breasts to toy with as he whines frustrated. The pleasure running through him as he stares down at your body. Regretful he spent nights with his hand when it could’ve been you.

“You were made for me.” He says in between thrusts as you come around cock milking the cum out of him filling you up.

You and him lay in silence for a while. The only sounds being the music and the buzzing fan in the background. 

“I approve you.” He says after a while.

“Of what?” You say turning towards him.

“Of your day off. I’m not done with you yet and by the time I will finish I don’t think either of us will step foot in work tomorrow.” He laughs as you roll your eyes, throwing a pillow at him. He knew you weren’t coming in anyway. You were also probably not getting that photo with Natasha either.

I honestly think a lot of people, because they meet Americans online, forget this but most Americans are actually reasonably comfortable. That’s why revolution is unlikely, sure sure the security state yada yada, but the truth is most people can put food on the table, can afford a few fun items, and can travel. This year was a record high for air travel for people, and they’re still getting private taxis for their burritos (DoorDash).

You ask why people aren’t willing to get shot to defend their fellow workers or whatever, but it’s because by and large most people are comfortable enough to not want to risk it. If things are fine but not great now, you’re not going to be willing to die for some theoretical imagined utopia being championed by the most annoying guys you know online. There are people for whom it is very very bad but those people are an extreme minority. It’s not that complicated why Americans won’t revolt, it’s because for most people it’s not in our best interest to and the people who say we should are by and large annoying cranks.

First, I want to make it clear that the post you're replying to is more part rant/frustration than anything meant to convince anyone. It is specifically about the usamericans I've seen talking to others and myself about how they can't possibly ever achieve anything because of the secret service or whichever other aspect of the US security apparatus. You are completely right that the main obstacle is the objective interests of the US worker aristocracy to protect their imperialist country, it's just that some of the people who have politically grown past that self-interest seem to expect no pushback for their beliefs or are looking with a varying degree of subconsciousness for excuses. I fully sympathize with this sentiment, and I'm not downplaying how brutal US police can be. It is, still, personally frustrating to me when people have achieved more with less liberties. This is my personal blog, not a propaganda outlet. Repression is an aspect that should be taken into account when it comes to evaluating the specific organization of an action and more general lines of broad organization, it is not a full stop.

But let's think more about the fact that it is in USamerican's inmediate objective interest to remain docile. The only way anyone ever truly gets past that inmediacy is through a combination of voluntary effort, personal experience, and close contact with a communist willing to guide them. I am not that last thing, not for a lack of willingness, but because of a lack of closeness. Contrary to what seems to be some people's expectations, I focus on my own, offline, political work, and while there are a lot of very nice and willing usamericans on this website who get some value out of my blog, I don't and I can't make up that significant a part of their education. If someone is already entrenched in their labor aristocratic-enabled interests, how do you expect anyone to do what they can't do with someone that is willing? This is tumblr, not a workplace, not a party meeting, not an assembly, not a protest. We are quite literally just posting. Sorry you find me annoying, you're free to filter out my url, I do not care. It is my personal blog, not a propaganda outlet, and much less one dedicated to USamericans.

I am so close to being done with Royals/Ramblers I can taste it, and it's one of those frustrating situations where the last remaining work to be done is just annoying. I have to write one damn scene, which of course is the most emotionally fraught and difficult one, and then pick from the *counts on fingers* three separate versions of the epilogue I wrote, none of which are very satisfying. I'll probably slam them all together and then sort it out somehow.

And then I definitely have to give the whole thing one more pass before I think about posting, because it's going to clock in at right around 150K words, and I already have notes on continuity issues that need fixing.

Anyway, please enjoy this scene, in which I realized at the same time Gregory and Eddie did what a great joke their names make. (Some brief context -- Joan uses she/her but doesn't like the word "princess", so she chose the gender neutral Princeps as her title.)

Friday evening, when Gregory came on the air for the address, Eddie was sitting next to him, and Joan was leaning on Eddie's shoulder. Her excitement was almost a visible thing; she'd been fussed over that afternoon, Gregory helping her pick out clothing followed by Jerry doing her makeup for camera and Eddie doing a slightly less clumsy job of braiding her hair than she generally did. 

"Good evening, Fons-Askaz, Askazer-Shivadlakia, our neighbors, and our viewers abroad," Gregory said. Behind the camera, Jerry mouthed the words along with him absently. "I'm pleased to greet you all this Friday evening and I hope you're well. I find myself, for the second time in a year, setting aside the usual issues of the day and questions from citizens to talk to you about family...."

His idea had been to talk about Joan's history just a little, then introduce her as the newest Royal, their daughter the Princeps. He could use that as a platform to present to the country his new funding package for adoptive families, meant to encourage adoption and support children coming out of the foster system. Each half of that would hopefully make the other half seem less random.

It went pretty smoothly; Eddie chimed in at all the right moments, and Joan got to say a few words of introduction at the end. After he signed off, he gave her a hug and a forehead-kiss and told her she'd done a great job. 

And then Noah, standing with Monday and Jerry behind the camera in the little studio, said, "Well, you crashed the internet again."

Gregory sighed. "Can't blame Eddie this time, can we?" 

"It was only the tourism website, and it wasn't on purpose," Eddie said. 

"He was always breaking my stuff when we were kids," Monday said.

"Nope, this one's all Joan," Noah replied. "As soon as you introduced her as your daughter, traffic started spiking -- palace website, tourism website, and every royals' Photogram."

"Katie in Communications says told you so," Jerry said, already on the phone with her.

"Joan's Photogram is down, looks like bandwidth-suck. And there goes mine, and yours," Noah said, nodding at Gregory. "There's two hashtags trending, PrincessJoan and PrincepsJoan." 

"Let me call my guy at Photogram," Eddie said, taking his phone out. 

"You have a guy just like, at Photogram?" Monday asked.

"Yeah, he handles my requests, I send him sausages," Eddie answered. 

"How is it you simultaneously live in the 22nd century and the 14th?" Monday asked. 

"Have him kill the Princess hashtag," Noah suggested.

"It's fine," Joan said. "They can use it for now, it'll keep things, um." She narrowed her eyes, searching for the word. "Segmented. Spread out the discussion a little."

"Someone's been reading my data analytics memos," Gregory said. 

"You leave 'em out," she pointed out. 

"Good news is people seem excited," Noah continued. "The hashtag's glitching, it's moving so fast, but overall pretty positive," he added.

"Well, we knew this would be intense," Gregory said. Joan, studying her own phone, squeaked. "Joan?" 

"Mas Corbin tagged me," she said, with possibly the most excitement they'd seen from her, at least since her first trip in the Jaguar. 

"The footballer?" Gregory asked, confused.

"Who?" Noah and Eddie chorused. 

"He's a Shivadh footballer, I think he's playing in Ireland right now," Gregory said, and his voice took on a slight edge as he considered some of the reasons a football player might mention his daughter. "What did he say?" 

"Dedicating my next game to my new Princeps JoanMac, long may she reign," Joan read, and Gregory relaxed. "Congrats to Gin&Tonic, she's cute as a button. Mas Corbin thinks I'm cute!"

"Gin and Tonic?" Gregory asked, and then said, "Gregory and Theophile," right as Eddie and Monday both began to laugh. "How did neither of us think of that before?"

"You get used to it," Noah said to Joan. "All kinds of famous people are going to have opinions on you."

"What do I do?!"

"Gram him back," Noah said. "Comment and say thanks and that you're a fan and you'll be watching the game."

"I'm gonna have to do a video with some gin and tonic recipes," Eddie said, as Noah and Joan debated the best wording for her response. Gregory leaned back in his chair, exhaling, and let the chaos happen around him for a minute.

I'd love to see a time travel/ng+ fic where all the phantom thieves plus the royal/strikers thieves PLUS all the confidants travel back to when the game starts. Everyone's utterly bewildered.

The core phantoms and kasumi, being already physically close, figure it out pretty quick and regroup, but the rest are left confused and floundering until joker gets there and starts reaching out. But with so many people and everyone so lost and upset, he starts delegating and introducing people to each other so they have more options to reach out in case of emergency and to solidify his own web of connections, and for the better efficiency collaboration brings.

And yes I want to see all the confidants become friends or at least co-conspirators in a grand scheme sharing knowing smiles. I want to see normal people struggling with the reality of having lost a year or two of their lives, the surge of hope or fear as they realise they get to do it all again, feeling confused and alone and with the other confidants and plenty of soul searching build up an eclectic support network with others who share the same goal. As a group they could be so much more, and so many would benefit from joker putting them in touch with each other.

But I mostly want to see people coming to the dawning realisation that the scope of joker's reach he's built up is absolutely insane.

Just about every single named character in this huge game is a tarot confidant. Outside of palace rulers, the (hilariously but sadly rare) acquaintances of friends, and occasional mission target, EVERYONE is a secret member of joker's web. He's got the wildest, 'how did you guys even meet' people in his pocket too.

He's got a sentient AI. He's got a politician. He's got a yakuza guy who sells fake weapons who once took out 50 gang members. He's got a secretly talking cat. He's got a high class lawyer. He's got an underground doctor with like 5 PhDs she got revoked who does human experimentation. He's got a government agent. He's got a fortune teller. He's got a guy running his website and managing public missions for no pay. He's got an up and coming teen model. He's got the second detective prince. He's got a world famous wanted hacker. He's got a ten year old. He's got the REACH baby.

It's so funny. He's got like literally 30 odd people with maxed bonds who all think they're one of very very few who know the secret of the phantom thieves and who would break literal laws for this kid. I just think if they all worked together they'd rule the world. And they'd have a huge support group.

Fortune teller: yeah so then I managed to escape the cult, but it's just been so hard to discover who I am outside of that, you know? And they still want me back, it terrifies me.

Reporter lady: *drunk* girl that's absolutely awful you deserve like sooooo much better listen if I see them sniffing around I'll let you know. You shouldn't have to deal with those guys alone, I know allllllllll about making those kinds of guys sweat.

/Ex yakuza fake gun seller: you remind me of my son. He's a good kid, you'd like him. I can set you up?

10yo gun arcade player: oooh do these have real mechanisms? They look so realistic!

Ex yakuza: joker said you could both do with someone your own age - PUT THAT DOWN-

/Shoji player and art kid (yusuke) from the same school: *sitting in silence doing their own thing during school break, having a fantastic time*

/Akechi: *having a breakdown*

Sae, having hustled him off to an empty room for privacy: you know I can't believe I ever bought your nice act. Anyway do you think I could make a case for getting custody of you?

Akechi, stunned out of his attack: ????? Your sister would murder me.

Sae: yeah but it'd annoy shido and my boss so bad.

Akechi:.... I'll consider it.

/sojiro: I admit it's nice to have an adult to talk to about this... Sometimes I still can't believe it's the kids I know that go out and change the world like this.

Government agent: YEAH even with my own persona it's an absolute Ride. You should be proud. Also your coffee is delicious.

/Government agents daughter and mishima: *having an absolute BLAST designing merch*

The list goes ON its just so many under utilised possible relationships!!! Post games the meta verse is gone and most problems are solved (or dead) but if we put them all together in joker's biggest melting pot it'd be such a ride. All of them just low key scared of how many high ranking connections he has.

Like he just texts someone 'hi I think I know someone you'd like to know. I'm sending them to meet you.' and you're like okay??? I guess we'll see why?? And you round the corner and there's a politician and a previously famous missing teen detective waiting for you and they're here to help you get a restraining order on your stalker if you help predict a lottery number or two. And it just keeps happening. Sometimes you're the 'I know a guy' sent to meet people. Like how does joker even know this many people???? He's just moved here!!

[blue-thief]

respectfully asking you to drop those trans hcs for the bllk boys!!!

yeah sure ofc i'm so glad you asked!

i'll split them up based on which NEL team they're on for the sake of my own sanity

(i don't actually hc ALL of them to be trans so i'll just mention the ones i actually have a hc for lol)

bastard munchen

kaiser - THE most trans-coded of the bunch imo. like the whole thing with the blue rose tattoo to represent "turning the impossible into reality" and "defying the natural order of things". and his full name is "michael kaiser" which can be interpreted as "god's chosen emperor". there's no way bro was given that name at birth. he's also coded to have religious trauma which would become much more layered if you interpret him as trans. he's also, interestingly enough, the only one to NOT have a metal chain around his neck on his cover. he's the only one with glass. a lot of ppl have interpreted this as him having a fragile ego, but glass can also be taken to symbolize transformation (i just pulled this from a random website talking about the spiritual meaning of glass lmao). ALSO also him being annoyed by his long hair in ness's flashback. trans. plus his insecurity concerning how good he is in comparison to (who he perceives as) cis players just screams insecure trans masc who's relying too much on toxic masculinity to affirm his gender to his peers lmao.

ness - he totally thought he would have to fight his parents on this but they were surprisingly cool with it + even helped him w puberty blockers and stuff. he still hates them for the anti-magic stuff but at least they're not transphobic?

isagi - don't ask me to explain this i just get those vibes

noa - (reporter) "what is your opinion on trans people with an unfair biological advantage in sports?" (noa, a trans man who transitioned wayy before he got famous) "i AM trans people with an unfair biological advantage in sports"

pxg

shidou - he just has bigender vibes man. japanese isn't big on third-person pronouns, but once he starts getting better at english, he'd def start collecting pronouns like pokemon cards. he figured out his identity through chainsaw man ("wow denji's just like me fr but so is angel devil but so is asa but so is-")

ubers

(i have nothing for any of the ubers. feel free to prove me wrong)

fc barcha

bachira - non-binary but he doesn't know it yet (any and all pronouns once he does figure it out)

manshine city

chigiri - peak gender, everyone confuses him for a girl. he uses masculine language, and while he sometimes acts annoyed when ppl call him princess, he doesn't bother correcting them. does anyone actually know chigiri's gender? no. does he know what it is? yes. will he tell anyone? no. he thinks it's funny to keep ppl guessing with the constant contradictions

reo - i didn't actually hc him as trans at first but the post i was complaining about earlier was dunking on this hc specifically so uhhh yeah he's trans now sorry i don't make the rules <3. his dad's company also pioneered top surgery that doesn't leave any scars which is why no one in bllk has any. like with ness, his dad is surprisingly not transphobic but he sucks in other ways lmao (but now that you think of it, his whole struggle with wanting to live a life completely different from what his parents had in mind for him IS a very trans-coded backstory)

[luckyshouse]

i agree with you, i do not think fetish content of hypothetical incest/pedo/et cetera should be on this website nor easily accessible anywhere, and the insistence that its hypothetical doesnt change anything. the “doesnt affect you if its behind closed doors” is true as you say, and its really annoying seeing so many people say this when they are waving their shit around in public. i survived trafficking for ~8 ish years as a child and have to rely on methods such as those scenarios in order to derive any pleasure, and i am well aware of the weight of it, and do not make any jumps to justify it, and i wish others had the same gravity regarding it. i would fucking love if i could do anything else, but alas, it is the only way i know until i can begin to outwork it. i do not think i am a bad person/ i do not hold shame over it, because it is an extremely private situation that i would never allow for 1. any children to be exposed to and 2. any possible pedophiles to get their rocks off to scenarios regaridng it. that second one is something i dont think a lot of people think of, that sure, you can form a community surrounding this, but you are going to attract predators, share circles with them, and it will be your fault. keep it private conversations if you must get off this way!! it is an understandable response for many situations, considering how common these traumas (of different severities) are, but to display it like people recently have been really really scares me.

i entirely agree with all of this, and understand your POV entirely. i also don't think that second one is one many people think of, but it's the reality of this whole conversation and it's also why its such a frustrating conversation to have, because it really is like. the people creating these content who are saying theyre doing it to cope or explore themselves arent dealing with the reality that there are likely now predators getting off to very vulnerable and very personal depictions of intense life ruining deeply personal trauma. its just so crazy because i feel like we've been ahving this exact conversation for years on repeat and now im finally up at the podium as the adult this time instead of one of the millions of children in the audience, and i guess i thought at this point we would all generally understand that these are bad things to do both for your own health and others. but i guess not, and i agree, it really really scares me with how bad its gotten. its one of the most repuslive things to see as a survivor is all of my peers turning around and deciding that the hottest thing in the world is imagining a scenario where every child in my position actually LIKED what happened to them. its so weird. its like they can't even let shit lie. its not enough that theyre jerking off to child porn, its that they need to show it off, to get approval from other kinksters and sex positive people, they need the hypothetical child to "enjoy" it. its just so fucking weird. and the worst part about it is i want to say "i dont know how we got here" but i do. i do know how we got here. because everyone my age has been forcefully exposed to extreme sexual content and grooming the moment we got on the internet and no one wants to talk about its contribution to real life.

[dullahandyke]

Like I look at all my mutuals who have cool good taste and their own niches and I go fuckkkkkkk I'm too normie I'm too mainstream I dont have a niche .... my taste is Bad and Not Cool even though I rock up to English class with the most objectively annoying and obtuse opinions I can offer like WELL I THOUGHT THE ONSTAGE FAUX-PEDOPHILIC HUMPING WAS A BOLD AND INTERESTING CHOICE. and I remember I am in fact very open to things that a lot of people arent and its just that I'm on the autism website where all of u guys have cool smart thoughts on things and my brain is scared of putting itself in situations where it has thoughts

[chlix]

skz as patrons at the library where i work

Genre: crack Synoposis: literally what it says on the tin lmao Members: OT8!! maknae line below the cut :)

Disclaimer in case my boss sees this that I love my job and almost all of our patrons <3 also none of these statements describe a specific person they’re just amalgamations of things we do and see every day

CHAN:

Mostly comes in to use our wifi/study rooms

Once asked us if we had a spare ethernet cable+hookup and we were all like ummmm we don’t really do that here?

Accumulated a $0.50 fine on his account and was extremely apologetic while paying it off like dude it’s okay it’s not that serious

Needs to print like 150 pages off of his laptop every single week and we feel bad for being annoyed because he’s really very nice about it*

Leaves ten minutes before closing <333

*this is annoying because printing off your own laptop means we have to leave our desk and go get your papers from the wireless printer the back office, whereas if you printed from the library computers you could get it yourself from the public printers

MINHO:

Runs a whole-ass business out of our meeting rooms

Like seriously shouldn’t you have an office space or a building for this….but no he checks out the same room key almost every day like clockwork

Actually doesn’t even live in our township but pays the PLAC fee because he likes our facilities better

Every time he tries to speak to us at the desk and it echoes he goes, “Wow sound really travels in here doesn’t it?”

When you ask him for his name for the financial records he jokingly refuses to tell you because “You should know who I am by now”

CHANGBIN:

Constantly forgets that he has to check out items that are on the holds shelf before leaving

It's such an issue like we've marked more than ten books as missing/lost but it turns out he just took them and left

Regularly attends the adult programming, like book clubs and mental health information sessions, always thanks the presenter for their time <3

Uses the library as Google, will call us and ask “Where’s the cheapest gas station close to where I am?” like sir where are you????

Has a punch card for the coffee machine and will stand around and make small talk while the coffee brews

HYUNJIN:

Gets so unbelievably embarrassed to come up to the desk for any reason as we’re going to verbally berate him for asking us a question

Bitches about every fine no matter how small, will ask for a manager over $0.75.

Seriously he does not like owing money. He got a book wet one time on vacation and paid for it as passive-aggressively as possible

“I’m telling you that the person before me must have done that because I would never treat a book that way, I treat all my books well and I’m one of the most frequent users of the library” like ok sir that'll be $27.99

One of those people that finds weeding atrocious and hates when he sees damaged books in the trash

Constantly complains about how the classics section lacks diversity (he’s right but us circ assistants can’t do anything about it)

JISUNG:

Has about a hundred books checked out on his account and can never remember which ones are next

He has a phone plan with a weird provider so we can’t text him notices and even though we explain this several times he constantly complains that he doesn’t get notices by text

Tries to pay his fines off with Apple Pay and can’t understand why we, a library using a cash register from 2007, do not take Apple Pay

Once used a website that made the computer set off a LOUD ASS ALARM for being a “forbidden or unsafe network” and we were all like what the hell did you do like even porn doesn’t set off an alarm????

Always asks to “use the bathroom really quick” after we’ve officially closed and forces us to stay an extra 20 minutes because we can’t shut anything down until the building is empty

FELIX:

Never actually reserves a meeting room but will always come to the front desk and ask if there’s one available and will be SHOCKED if we’re booked straight through for the day

Regularly brings in books for donation and when he pays fines in cash he always hands us a $20 and says to keep the change <3

Notices every minute change to the layout like “Why are the atlases no longer at the front of nonfiction?” and we’re like when was the last time you even checked out an atlas

Gets embarrassed if a book he wants is in the teen or children’s section and asks us to go get it for him

Can never connect to Libby because he keeps forgetting his PIN number so he calls us to reset it like once a month

SEUNGMIN:

Checks out a TON of DVDs. Treats this place like Netflix fr

Will request we get a movie that’s currently in theaters and we’re like “It’s not even out on disc yet so we literally can’t buy it”

Prefers to hand all his returns to a desk person and watch us check them in while he’s there instead of putting them in the return so he can "make sure" he doesn't get any fines

Asks us why mysteries are shelved separately from all the other books because it’s confusing as to what is and isn’t a mystery (we have no clue either)

Likes picking books off the cart while you’re shelving because they're "peer reviewed" and "probably better than what's on the shelves"

JEONGIN:

Constantly forgets his library card and is forced to come up to the desk so we can check his books out

Does not understand the difference between librarians and circulation assistants and so is always asking circ assistants do work that only librarians can do

“What do you mean you’re not a librarian? Isn’t everyone who works in a library a librarian?”

Thinks literally everything is going to get him banned from the library as if you'd get banned from the library for...using the services we offer?

Got anxious when we entered the room with a giant mallet after he reported one of the tables was stuck and we had to explain we were not going to attack him and we use the mallet to fix stuck tables

Walks away with room keys sometimes and returns them like 30 minutes before we close in an absolute PANIC

⚠️❗ READ BLOG RULES FIRST BELOW

Before visiting my blog and downloading.

This is personal blog and art blog for The Sims game CC. Make sure your comment must be relevant to Sims CC only. No annoying women/girls who came to my blog only to debate me in English without saying appreciation to my Sims CC. I will delete the comment and block immediately without warning. Don't act disrespectful to CC creator who share our CC work for The Sims community. No stupid women drama. Keep your "Ladies' behaviour" (including excessive love emoji) out from this dude blog. This is not dating website nor debate platform. My blog is for people who appreciate my Sims CC work. Any private messages that is not relevant to my Sims CC will be ignored.

To visitors from USA (United States of America), you must behave civilized and send polite message in understandable, International global formal English with no slang if you want to communicate with me. English is not my first language. Do not send messages with vulgar words. I will report your account to get you banned. No confusing English slang language, no mental illness allowed here.

Once you are in my blog, you must behave like an Asian and follow Asian culture and customs. Be a good guest and respectful visitor.

Housewives and unemployed men are not allowed to comment and follow this blog. No stupidity allowed in this blog. Get a job and consult professional mental counselor before you send ignorant/hate comment and being aggresively stupid to other people's blog. Understand, jobless women and men?

Blog ini milik orang Indonesia, selama kamu komen pakai Bahasa Indonesia, bakal diprioritaskan.

Comment must be positive and feedback about CC only. For example: "Thank you for sharing" "Thank you for the CC". To foreigners, learn to say "Terima kasih" = Thank you . "Bagus" = Nice/Good.

Unless you are my real life wife, Do not send any body touching comment: "Hug", "Kiss" towards opposite sex blog owner. I will report who violates to Tumblr Staff as sexual harrasment. Unwanted Hug & Kiss = Sexual Harrasment.

DO NOT curse "F**k" and DO NOT use negative words such as "Crappy", "Idiot", "Garbage", USA people. By speaking those words I already know you are having low intelligence, unemployed & lazy people, and has immature teenager mentality. I remind you this blog is owned by an adult man working in corporate, not school playground. Be civilized guest and be a proper adult speak with manners and polite words.

Be respectful to non-native English speakers. Asians, Europeans, American Latin, African people who are able to speak English as our second/third language are educated people.

Don't insult men with "bitch" word, USA women. Bitch is derogatory word for girls and women. If you want to insult me, then use better, educated, and clever word towards educated men working for corporate. Bales pake Bahasa Indonesia dong, neng... bisa gak lu? Dasar bule kelas bawah IQ rendah 😂 Calling men "bitch" indicate your IQ must be very low, you even cannot tell difference between men and women 😂 Furthermore, it's your own fault why were you reposting my CC (I am the original creator) without mentioning my username? I can see your IP address you are from USA, Fakehouserealawesome.

If you cannot speak Bahasa Indonesia, 中文 , or any Asian languages... Do not act arrogant on my blog.

Internet is international space for many nationalities, not USA country. Respect and adapt to Asian culture if you want to visit my blog.

Say "Hi/Hello/Dude/Bro/Koko (哥哥）", "Please" ,"Thank you" ,"Would you" ,"May I ask" If you want to communicate to me, Westerners. If you are from Western (White Caucasian race) country, you must behave polite. Learn from Asians how to communicate politely and effectively on public.

Working adults and professional only. Students under 21 years old are allowed, as long as you are well-behaved in my blog, speak to me with manners like a mature adult, not 8-10 years old little child. Baby girl/toddler/elementary school kid language such as "ty for the likes <3" "Gawd lawd" "omg" "lol" , spamming love emoji or crying emoji will be deleted and your account will be blocked. My blog is not for kids.

Troublemakers, rude people, "low intelligent with no class" & uneducated people are not tolerated in this blog.

Do not follow or interact or send messages to me if you are housewives. Housewives are supposed to take care of their family and house, not being trolls in gaming community on internet. (Mothers/housewives are not gamers anyway, why are you trying to follow dude gamer blog, then get offended because men being men? 😂 ) I already enough getting annoying / provoking with low intelligence argument from U.S.A. "Karen" housewives to disrespect me. ( Yes, my real life wife was laughing and calling that USA housewife stupid). If you are housewives, mothers, or unemployed men who have no job, no skills, no friends, not exercising, never travel to other countries, spending too much time on internet being grumpy and complaining about life all the time, defending Fakehouserealawesome who had insulted me as a CC creator ... Consider to leave my blog immediately.

Target followers of this blog: Educated, gamers, working & productive in real life and well-behaved.

If you are women, Do not send sexual comment such as "hug". Non-sexual hug is for girls/women/ladies only. We men do not communicate with "hug" word. Pressing your (female/woman) breasts (•)(•) and front body to stranger men body is clearly sexual position to seduce men, which is immoral & not acceptable. I understand that white caucasian women are obsessed with physical body touch, including involving your breasts, but your culture is not compatible to our Asian culture. Do not hug men unless the man is your husband/boyfriend/sexual partner. Assuming all Sims players are girls are sexist and stupid for not being aware that there are men on any community and including internet.

I remind you there are men and women on this Tumblr platform. Tumblr is public website, not private website for girls/women only.

Any comment with body touching is not allowed. Calling me "sweetheart", "honey" or any attempt for flirting are not allowed. You are not my wife. Any inappropriate comment will be deleted and will be reported as sexual harassment. Please focus on The Sims CC content only.

If you women didn't want your part of your body getting touched by men, then don't touch men's body too. Gender equality rules work here. You cannot behave selfish and will not get "special treatment" just because you are a woman. Even if you are woman and did wrong, you will get treated/criticized back as harsh as a man because I treat both genders men and women the same.

Crazy radical feminist women hating men are not welcome here. Remember, The Sims is created by man (Will Wright) and core mod, script mod, number of modders, tools (The Sims Workshop and plugins for programs); by majority are men.

If you women starting to ridicule men on purpose by saying, "Men playing The Sims are rare" then you should visit ModTheSims, Reddit, Steam, Youtube comments, meme with The Sims jokes and The Sims parodies on social media where men are everywhere in The Sims community. ModTheSims, TSR, TSR Workshop, The Sims mod tools & plug-ins are made by men. Not because "Men playing The Sims are rare" but actually you woman is the one who actually close-minded, not real gamer (never play hardcore games before other than The Sims) and lacking social interactions with men, don't have brother or guy friends are you... ?

Do not assume men playing The Sims are "gay" or"feminine". Many of us are straight. This is why I told you women to do not say "hug" to male Sims players.

Respectfully call male Sims players with male avatar with He/Him pronoun. I do not tolerate stupidity of misgendering my pronoun, while the gender of my avatar is very obvious. Do not emasculate Asian men nor disrespect our masculinity.

As a blog owner, I have right to defend my CC I created and correcting that people say wrong about me.

Let blog owners speak and post whatever we want. If you're getting offended with my post, then it is your own fault for not being open-minded. Learn to mind your own business.

If you come to my blog (including other people's blog too) only to debate / post negativity / being hostile to me, it means you are unemployed/jobless with poor financially/income. Working & productive people in real life with well financially/income and happy life do not have time to post negativity to other people on internet.

Normalize being polite and respectful. Comment to say compliment, feedback about CC and support CC creator who are sharing our CC work for free to Sims community.

Feel free to leave my blog if you disagree with my rules and viewpoint.

Terimakasih atas perhatiannya. 感謝諸位的時間！

[modernzai]

Hmm, my name is Dazai, Dazai Osamu. I decided to check this website out because apparently a lot of the other students are on here too, so I wondered if this could cure my boredom. And anyways, if I get a chance to annoy my dearest friends Kunikida and Chuuya, who am I to refuse? I don't mind others asking me stuff too though, I'll take any chance to stir up trouble~

[OOC- hihihi, mod here, @kaiserkisser is my main blog. ive been dying to make a rp blog for ages so here i am ksadfhjskg anyways dazai my beloved <3 there is a more than 50% chance of me messing up the reblogs by doing it from either kaiserkisser or chuuya-kisser

mod uses she/they, and dazai uses he/they. no nsfw please, because i am a minor. very light suggestive stuff is ok, although not preferred. if i am uncomfortable with answering something, i will not answer it. ooc stuff will be in brackets like this: [ooc-... ]

also, mod is one of the biggest possible soukoku shippers, so this blog will be mostly skk-centric when relating to ships :D apart from that, im also alright with kunizai and kunichuzai, theyre cute <3 you can interact with ur own ships too, as long as they are legal, but they might not always receive the response you expect.

about this au: here, dazai is a first year college student, freshly 18. its a, well, modern au lmao so like, no abilities etc, just normal school. well, as normal as it can get with dazai around. naturally, it wouldnt be dazai if he didnt love to annoy the shit out of people and be smart but dumb af. i hc that he's actually good at chemistry and computers idk why.

please note: bsd itself has a number of sensitive/ heavy topics, and while this is a modern au, its still dazai here. so there might be occasional dazai-typical suicide mentions.

uhm anyways im also a bit nervous when it comes to starting interactions so pls dont mind me! id love to interact with yall <3 follow backs from kaiserkisser bc this is a sideblog]
