✦ 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞.

Yamikage is one of my favourite characters in the anime, so naturally he gets tossed in the "redesigned to perfectly fit my tastes" + extremely self-indulgent lore adjusments. Because if the scenarists won't care about him, I WILL ! ((More Info below !))

✦ 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰, 𝐘𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐬 ───

𝕭𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖘𝖍𝖆𝖉𝖔𝖜𝖘 Yabunreis are beings born from shadows and moonlight, only when the clock strikes midnight. They are assassins who possess powers that are to be feared. Their homeland, Evernight Star, is a planet casted in the shade of an everlasting night; and their capital is a large edo-style village located in a region called "Dimland". The village is the home of the Nichibotsu Clan, consisting of only yabunrei assassins. Other such villagers are nocturnal inhabitants of Evernight star, including bioluminescent cappies ! Yamikage is almost the perfect default of a yabunrei. They always have white hair, strangely textured, ashy purple-y skin of varying tones depending on the person, and usually, stark white eyes with no pupils. Yamikage's are red. They all dress in dark blue clothes. and silent chain mail.

✦ 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 ───────────

As unmatched assassins, yabunreis are highly prized mercenaries. Many people from all planets travel far and wide to Evernight Star in order to pay for their services. The village’s riches stem from the Nichibotsu Clan’s work across space, taking care of whichever target their visitor wanted them to. They are neutral and do not care for the agendas of whoever pays them. The Nichibotsu Clan was sought out by King Arthur when the war against Nightmare broke out. He offered no monetary compensation, but a promise on his honour as king that Fable Star, his kingdom, would ally themselves with them if Evernight Star ever came to face extraterrestrial peril. As the threat that Nightmare posed would also affect their side of the galaxy, the yabunreis accepted. While they did not all go, they sent a generous number of assassins to the GSA.  The yabunreis that took part in the war are currently located in Nightmare’s fortress after betraying the GSA, and sent out on different planets to carry out assassinations for HNM.

✦ 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 ───────────

Yabunreis are inherently linked to the moon, night, the shadows cast during that time and the Arts of Ninjutsu. Their abilities include :

((Most basically lifted from Aragami 1 and 2, my biggest inspiration for this lore))

✦ 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ───

Yabunreis don’t evaporate or turn to dust in the sunlight, but not only does it weaken them, it renders all their abilities unusable. To put it simply, yabunreis are only regular ninjas in broad daylight. While their physical prowess remains formidable, they become a much lesser threat than if it was nighttime.

✦ 𝐎𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 ──────

When a yabunrei is born during a lunar eclipse, their eyes are red, unlike their kin whose eyes are completely white. It’s a testament to their link to the Blood Moon, a symbol of high power and an omen of greatness in the eyes of the Nichibotsu Clan. Only two Yabunreis were born during a lunar eclipse : The former deceased leader of the Clan, Shokukage, and the current leader, Yamikage.

+ Some random doodles I was too lazy to finish

beach house neighbour! satoru

notes ╰┈➤ ❝ heavily inspired by that one hc my girl ari wrote about this...couldn't stop thinkin' 'bout it...reblogs n interactions always appreciated, love you ✧ ❞

content ╰┈➤ ❝ just a little satoru somethin' to celebrate my tumblr debut in 2024 hehe...no minors should interact here since, eventual smut, and mentions of alcohol are mentioned...✧ ❞

word count╰┈➤ ❝ less than 700...✧ ❞

beach house neighbour! satoru, who throws the best parties ever.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who somehow still wakes up early in the morning to join you for your daily jogs on the beach.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who scratches the back of his neck and sheepishly apologizes for the noise last night, lying about how he'll try to keep it down next time.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who notices your soft, yeah, right. and immediately with a determined look on his face, offers to make it up to you by inviting you to breakfast.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who opens the door to his house, apologizing for the mess, even though it looks surprisingly clean for a house that was full of drunk people a few hours ago.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who makes you the best breakfast you've ever had. his keen blue eyes observing every bite you take, the pout of your lips as you blow air on the hot pancakes, the smile across your face as you chew the soft texture, the little crumble on the side of your mouth, that he so badly wants to reach out and wipe slowly.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who gulps the last of his coffee in the afternoon, gazing directly into the sea where you're swimming in your tiniest bikini. waving back at you as you walk onto the sand and notice him.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who invites himself over to yours for dinner, mumbling about he exhausted all his food on your breakfast and how he's too drained to go out to shop.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who sips on the red wine you offered, leaning back on your couch and lazily staring at your face glowing from the fairy lights, as he wonders if you taste the same right now.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who doesn't think twice and leans into you, the grip on his glass tight enough to break it as he softly places his lips on yours.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who eventually does break the glass, spills the wine all over his shirt, a little on your carpet, and suddenly becomes so conscious, pulling away from you and standing up, looking at the mess with a shocked face because he's too overwhelmed with his feelings for you, that he can't understand how this happened.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who is so stunned when you grab him by the collar of his white shirt, mumbling against his lips about how the wine will leave a stain if you don't put it in the washing machine immediately.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who takes his shirt off immediately, revealing the perfect beach body he'd worked so hard on every evening, contradicting his words of how he wouldn't want that to happen to his favourite shirt, by throwing it across the balcony, the cold air hitting his godly-built chest, and making his nipples perk.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who wraps his large arms around your waist, picking you up and settling you on his lap as he falls back on the couch. grinning widely at your stunned expression, his long fingers push the ends of your dress further and further up.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who's throwing his head back, watching you straddle him like that, your dress riding up to your thighs, making your cute lace panties so visible, desperate whines escaping his mouth as your crotch repeatedly rubs and bumps against his clothed hard cock.

beach house neighbour! satoru, who unknowingly mumbles, 'w-wan' y'er pussy s-so bad, y-y/n...think 'bout it e-everyday...ngh-!' against your ear, as your tight walls stretch around his large veiny cock, your nails leaving scratches on his shoulders, scratches that won't be gone until the next few weeks at least. but that's alright, you could just make new ones by then.

[buff-muffin]

I’ve been slowly brewing up little One piece canon compliant head canons. These could be used to write little stories if I or someone else wanted. But I just want to get them out of my head so here you go.

Just an FYI. I’ve only finished pre-timeskip so spoilers for till the end of marineford ig and if something is proven different by Oda or later on in canon. I want y’all to know I really don’t care.

1. When Shanks was visiting Foosha village he had never actually heard of bug fighting neither had almost any of the crew. To little Luffy that was essentially a hate crime and he ran out of the bar so fast all of them thought they had upset the boy. He returned around an hour later with two large bugs in his hands and the crew got to watch them fight. Thoroughly smashed and here to enjoy Luffys interests they got WAY too into the fight and started placing bets and were screaming, cheering for their chosen bug. Never had the town seen so many grown adults so worked up over two bugs on a bar table.

2. Nami helps Usopp with his hair care. Back at Syrup village he normally had the kids help out when it finally needed to be washed. But now on the Going Merry he didn’t exactly trust a man with three swords or Luffy near his hair. And Sanji wasnt much help either. He was scared to ask at first but after Arlong Park Nami agreed and it soon become tradition for them to kick Sanji out of the kitchen for Usopp’s hair day and spend the whole time talking and gossiping. Sanji was and still is jealous about it but it’s completely platonic

3. (continuing after 2) Chopper was the next member to join the ‘hair care club.’ While his hooves aren’t the best for helping out with washing or braiding, and his human form’s hands were too big. He liked hearing about what went into caring for different hair textures. And he just liked to be helpful. However it was through being in the hair care club did Chopper realise that being part human because of his devil fruit meant his fur needed to be washed way more often than it did. And after some trial and error with wash frequency and products, they found the perfect combo that leaves him adorably soft.

4. (also continuing after 2) Robin was the fourth member and was invited to join before the events of Skypia. Nami asking if Robin could braid her hair while she did Usopp’s. But Robin just quietly confessed she had no idea how to braid hair. Seeing as no adult in her life wanted to sit down and teach her at Ohara. Seeing that as an atrocity, the hair care club had their first offical meeting. Where they showed Robin all sorts of braids on both Nami’s hair and Usopp’s

5. (continuing after 4) Robin quietly found herself very proud of the knowledge of knowing how to braid. And on quiet hours on the ship while she was reading and everyone was doing their own quiet things. She often used extra hands to add little braids to Luffy’s hair while he either fished or napped. Luffy is completely aware she is doing this yet never thought to bring it up. He loves little acts of affection from his crew and waking up to braids in his hair never fail to make him smile.

6. (continuing after 2. This is the final one I swear) Brook is the last member of the hair care club. While he lets Chopper check his ‘roots’ and general hair health he actually knows how to do different hair styles for Usopp’s hair texture and happily teaches him as well as the others and now Usopp can finally branch out in hair styles

7. one of Luffy’s favourite pass times is to listen to his crew mates talking about their dreams. He sits at the table listening to Sanji tell tales about the all blue. Or listen to Franky and Robin ramble about work. He listens to Zoro talk about people he wants to fight, and the islands Nami wants to visit. He’ll listen to Chopper’s doctor mumbo jumbo and Usopp talking about plans for new weapons. He loves listening to Brook’s songs but he’ll also hear tales about the skeleton’s old crew and stories of Laboon. He tries to ask questions to sound interested but it normally just gives people the idea he’s not paying attention. So instead he gives them encouragement. Because his favourite part, is seeing the way their eyes light up talking about something their truly passionate about, and the shameless smile they give him knowing their captain would never once make fun of their dream.

8. Robin quickly found comfort in Luffy after joining the crew and for a while she couldn’t figure out why. Until she realised his ‘shishishi’ laugh sounded just like Jaguar D. Saul’s, the giant she met growing up. And when she realised it was the first night she slept soundly on that little boat.

9. After loosing his arm Shanks went through a really annoying yet hilarious adjustment period of getting halfway through a task before realising he needs two hands. His crew always laughed when Shanks did his ‘wait how am I gonna do this’ pause. And while they always help him out when he needs it. They know he will figure out how to open things himself. Hopefully without his teeth.

10. Ace very proudly has a scar on his arm from where Luffy accidentally bit him once way too hard while fighting. When Dadan patched him up and told them it was probably gonna scar Ace was pissed, Luffy was wailing in apologies and Sabo had been dying of laughter that Ace’s first ‘cool fighting scar’ was his brothers teeth mark. Now though? Among the other battle scars Ace’s skin bares. That scar is his favourite story to tell. And all of the Whitebeard pirates know to. Never let their fingers near Luffy’s mouth.

Warmer Impulses

Quick bonten!Mikey drabble for his birthday!

The apartment you shared with Mikey was still, the only light being from the candle flames you lit and the only sound being your soft singing.

"Happy birthday, dear Jiro~"

He stared at the chocolate cake with tired eyes, eyebags deeper in the shadows and the only light in his pupils being the reflection of the candle. You hoped that a tiny bit of it was his own, that he felt warmth inside even if it was a tiny flicker.

Mikey blew out the candle at your insistance, sounding more like a heavy sigh. But it went out and you clapped gently with a whispered 'yay'.

"It's my first time making cake. I hope it turned out okay." You mumbled, fidgeting as you cut him a slice.

"You made it?" The sound was more of a mumble and you nodded, biting your lip so your nervousness wouldn't show.

"I just....wanted to show you that I love you."

"I don't deserve any of this." Mikey's voice was flat, no emotion making way for vulnerability. But you knew that inside, he held a self hatred you could never take away completely.

"You are the best thing to happen to me, Sano Manjiro." Your voice was stern and left no room for argument. "I didn't make a cake for you because you mean nothing to me. I made it because your life is worth celebrating."

Mikey looked away, his eyes brimming with unshed tears that glittered in the firelight. A very rare sight.

"And.... I have a present for you too."

You held out a blue textured gift bag that he hesitantly took. Mikey's nimble hands cradled it for a long moment, his finger nails bitten and jagged. His hands still looked comforting and gentle to you.

Mikey pulled out a silver band, a blue gem engraved into it. It gleamed as he turned it around, breath stuttering as it hit him what it meant.

"I know, I know you'll never consider me as a partner. I know that you barely keep me around because you're scared to get too close. I wasn't a part of your life when you were at your worst but....I really hope I made these last three years a bit more bearable.

Thank you for letting me hang around you and for saving me. Thank you for stopping me from jumping. I know it was just something you did on impulse but, it really does make you kind. No matter what, Manjiro. You will be kind in my eyes."

A long pause followed and you stopped breathing. Your romantic feelings for Mikey were obvious and even in his little ways, you felt as though he loved you back. But you gave him a ring.

God, you were an idiot.

"Impulse." Manjiro whispered.

You looked up at his wide shining eyes, so full of life that it seemed more like a mirage. He kept staring at the ring, putting it on his left ring finger. A perfect fit. Your body erupted in flames, heart racing because oh god.

"I didn't even think about it. It was...an impulse. I couldn't...stay away. Reckless of me, dangerous for you but....impulsive. Honest."

Manjiro was quick to grab your hand and pull you forward, lips crashing against your for the first time ever. It was his own first kiss, something done in such fervor that it was like he was making up for lost time. You could barely keep up as tears fell down your cheeks, kissing him to your hearts content. It felt good, he felt warm.

When he pulled back, you saw that his tears had mingled with your own and he had a smile on his face. A genuine one and it made you fall for him more.

"How did you do that? Who are you?"

You giggled, "Please tell me I didn't talk your ear off for the last three years for you to not know my name."

"The sun." He whispered. And you felt your cheeks warm.

"In another life, I hope we get married." Manjiro made a wish, hoping the universe granted it despite the delay.

You wrapped your arms around his neck and held on tight.

"In another life, I'll love you all the same."

A/N: I'm sorry it sucked but I feel unwell and wanted to write something for my favourite boy! Might write something better for him later on. I know it's rushed. Apologies.

by my side - gojo x reader

pairing: satory gojo x reader rating: 18+ summary: Rain hit against the window of your bedroom as Gojo looked down at you with this love in his blue eyes that you couldn't deny. There was something so sweet about his demeanour in that moment. You swore you could almost hear the fluttering of his chest.  tags: fluff, smut, you're so in love omg, gentle sex, pet names, romance, the au where nothing bad happened!

Rain hit against the window of your bedroom as Gojo looked down at you with this love in his blue eyes that you couldn't deny. There was something so sweet about his demeanour in that moment. You swore you could almost hear the fluttering of his chest. 

He had been out all day with his students and couldn't wait until he got home. He wanted to know what you had in mind for dinner and like the helpful boyfriend he was, he made sure dinner was perfect. He even shared his frozen dessert that he picked up for you on the way home from high school. As if he didn't pick you one up too, they even had your favourite flavour in stock today.

It seemed like a perfect day and then when the rain came in the evening. He pulled you up from the couch and laid in bed with you. He was like a very muscular teddy bear, his hand rested on your hip while he used his other to prop his head.

Lightning crossed the sky and you pulled yourself closer to him. You buried your face into the front of his dark t-shirt. He chuckled and placed a hand on the middle of your back. You looked up and he gazed down at you with those sparkling blue eyes. The rain kept coming as he leaned in for a soft kiss. He smiled into the softness as you let go of his shirt and placed your hand carefully on his chest. 

  ”Satoru.“ You said quietly. 

His smile grew as he broke the kiss. Those blue eyes still shined so bright after all this time. Sometimes you could feel the dread in your stomach when you thought you lost him. But he was still here, his heart still beat its familiar pattern and his smile was bright as always. Even with all those scars, even with all the hurt they carried, Gojo still had room in his heart to love you. Because despite it all, it would always be you two. 

  ”Scared of a little lightning?” He asked as he rubbed your back, taking in the texture of the old threadbare shirt you wore. It used to be his but, at this point anything that was his was yours as well. 

  “Nah.” You blushed, “Just took me off guard. I was too busy getting comfy with you.” You chuckled as you felt the heat stain your cheeks, “After all, I have you to protect me.” 

  "You know it.“ He grinned, ”I'll protect you till the end of time. Nothing scared my baby.“ He took your hand and kissed you on the knuckle. He kissed it a few more times and eventually down your wrist before he leaned in for another kiss. He cupped your cheek and pressed his soft lips against yours. 

Your heart raced, there was something dynamic about Gojo that drove you mad. You couldn't imagine a life without the white haired man. He was yours till the end of time, just as he'd protect you, you'd protect him. You felt him relax against your kiss as you deepened it. 

He held onto your cheek a little firmer. He deepened the kiss as well and visibly melted into it. His lips were warm, and still tasted a bit like the dinner you two shared. The bit of salt from the broth lingered on his lips as he kissed you. Both hands started to roam your body, feeling every curve over the clothes you wore. 

You felt your heart leap as his hands trailed further across your body. Your stomach tied in knots over the romantic gesture. Gojo really was unlike any other man you've ever met. You couldn't imagine your shock when you realised that Gojo was a huge romantic and wanted to show you every way he could love another person.

You were lucky to have a man like Gojo in your life, you wouldn't change it for the world as you two continued to kiss. Soon your hands were feeling him up as well and eventually you got brave and dipped your hand into the front of his sweatpants. 

He groaned into the kiss as you got a firm grip on his length. He swallowed back a louder moan as you started to gently stroke it. His heart raced as his hand soon was in the front of your own sweatpants, his long fingers trailed across your sex over your panties (that he picked out that morning). 

  “What's wrong, kitten?” He asked, “Is someone a little turned on?" He kissed down the side of your neck gently and so full of love. His heart raced as his other broad hand trailed up your shirt. He sighed contently at the feeling of your body against him.

The rain grew heavier as he started to undress you slowly, he wanted to savour it. Your form slowly being exposed to him as he helped you out of your clothes. He held his breath when you took off your bra and your breasts were exposed to him. 

  ”Satoru.“

  ”Honey.“ He said as he leaned in and started to gently lap at your left nipple. His tongue brushed against the peak as it got hard and you moaned loudly into the warm air of the bedroom. He tugged at it gently before he continued to kiss along the rest of your breast followed by the right one. His large hands massaged them as he listened to your sweet moans. 

  ”Please, Satoru.” You said almost breathless. You clutched onto the front of his shirt, twisting it in your hands as you felt pleasure course through your veins. You wanted to bury your face into his shirt but his face was currently between your breasts as he showered them with attention. 

Soon you both were pleasuring one another, hand in each other's pants as you both touched one another. You panted wildly as his face was muffled by your breasts that he was engrossed in. He rolled his hips upwards against your hand. He shuddered when your grip tightened around his length, “That's it, honey.” He moaned into your skin.

The feeling was euphoric for both of you, you felt the electricity between you two. Your cheeks felt warmed as he continued to play with your clit, slender fingers rubbed against your most sensitive areas you felt the wash of pleasure over yourself. 

  “I love you.”

  “I love you, too.”

Such simple words yet they held such meaning. He kissed your breasts before he became eye level with you. Those beautiful eyes looked at you, his own cheeks were flushed as he held back a loud moan as your hand ran across the most sensitive part of his cock right at the base. 

You leaned in for a soft kiss which you melted into. You moaned into the kiss as he continued to rub up against your clit. Your heart thumped into your chest rapidly as the two of you continued to make out passionately. You loved Gojo, you loved him more than anything. He was more than just a boyfriend, he was your love. He was your everything. 

He pulled away after some time, another rumble of thunder could be heard outside over the hum of the city's traffic. He propped himself up onto the bed. His beautiful nude body on display as he reached out and touched your cheek. 

  “I want you.” He said softly. 

You looked at him, with lust in your eyes, “I want you too, Satoru.” You said quietly as if you were nervous about what you were saying. You let him manoeuvre you,  he laid you on your back as he got between your legs. 

His cock was red and at full attention, you could tell that he was feeling the heaviness of his cock between his legs and you were happy to relieve it. Your eyes met as you wrapped your legs around him, with a little help he slowly sank his length into you..

He watched your facial expressions as he started to move his hips. His strong arms supported him as he moved his hips against you. He observed your flushed face and the sweet sounds you made as he thrusted up into you.  “You are so hot.” He moaned, “Fuck, I'm going to love you forever. Got it?” 

  “So are you, Satoru.“ 

He leaned in and started to kiss you once more. His lips collided with yours as he bent you in half to get a better angle of his cock inside of you. He moaned into the kiss as you wrapped your arms around him, you held him close as the two of you passionately made out.

The sex felt magnetic, it felt alive like nothing else you'd ever experience in a long time. You loved Gojo, he was a light in your life as your bodies moved together. The headboard rocked against the wall behind it and the air in the room grew warmer with the smell of sex in the air. 

His cock hit a sensitive spot deep inside of your pussy and you squealed as you kicked your legs out. But Gojo put your legs back around his waist as he pulled away. He smiled down at you, ”someone liked that, huh?“ 

You exhaled deeply, ”Yes, it feels so good. Like, shit.“ You were panting as you wiped the sweat from your brow as you took another deep breath. You felt your heart racing in your chest before Gojo pulled you in for another kiss. 

The two of you continued to kiss as he thrusted his hips up into you. He moaned into the kiss as he felt sweat drip down his back.  His pace increased as he rolled his hips up against you. His thrusts were at a quick pace as he bullied his cock into you.You moaned loudly into the kiss as you got closer to your orgasm.

He panted wildly as he pulled away from the kiss and stared down at you. He gazed down at you lovingly, a smile on his lips as he continued to thrust. His hands explored your body, his love for you was strong as the two of you continued to make love.

Outside the rain poured. But inside you were both mildly dry, at least with a little bit of sweat on each of you. The kisses continued, they grew hotter and heavier as you two neared your climax. Gojo groaned against your lips as he continued his stroke, the feeling pooled in his stomach as he felt himself closer to climax. 

His heart raced as he made sure to get as deep as possible, he loved you so much. He couldn't get enough of you, you enthralled him. Never had he met a partner like you before, you were his first thought in the morning and his last thought in the evening. 

He looked at you and saw his entire world.  The kiss deepened and the two of you continued to thrust against one another. You moaned into his mouth and kept your arms around his shoulders as the intense feeling of pleasure continued to lap at you.

You broke the kiss and panted heavily and tightened your legs around his waist to give him better access to your sweet pussy. You dug your nails into his shoulder and arched your back. 

  ”That's it, that's my beautiful girl." He groaned as his pace became sloppy. He was near orgasm, he pressed another kiss against your lips as he felt his middle tighten. He gripped onto the bed under you tightly. With a few more laps of his hips, he finished inside of you with a loud groan against your lips. 

At the same time you came as well. You gripped onto him and threw your head back as you climaxed. The feeling was overwhelming. Your toes curled at the sensation. You felt on cloud nine, like nothing else in the world mattered. Your mouth hung open for a moment before you relaxed onto the bed.

You looked up at Gojo with a haze in your eye as he leaned over top of you. He pressed a sweet kiss on your forehead before he pulled out and laid beside you. He pulled you into his strong arms and kissed you on the head. 

  “That felt good.” He said as he started to come down.

You snuggled up against him, and let him kiss at your head. You smiled to yourself as you said, “With you, it always feels good. Thank you, Satoru.” Then visibly relaxed against the bed with a content sigh. 

You both laid there naked on the bed for a bit, enjoying each other's company. Gojo would occasionally kiss your head. You felt warm all over, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Ranking Live Action Superman Suits (Not all)

Christopher Reeve:

8/10 - amazing for the time and truly a classic - The logo looks a little off centre and (and this is a criticism for some future suits as well) not a fan of the logo looking like its stitched into the suit. I get that practically it makes more sense but it looks slightly off-putting to me

Brandon Routh (Returns):

7/10 - I like the fabric better than the reeve suit but the symbol and trunks are too small and the red is too dark everywhere - I actually love the belt here and I think this might be the best belt and trunk design put together, if only the red was brighter - This had the potential to be a 10/10 but the red is too wrong - Plus they used the logo too much (I mean, I get the belt and cape but the bottom of his boots????)

Henry Cavill:

6/10 - Used to like it more but too much blue - way too dark - the 'belt' which isn't really a belt doesn't break up the blue enough - In concept it's nice but the execution didn't hit - The slightly alien texture to the costume doesn't work the best here but it is done spectacularly in a different suit which I will mention later.

Tyler Hoechlin (Arrowverse):

8/10 - Honestly solid redesign but the blue is still a little dark and the belt is too high up - This may be the only time I've actually liked Superman not wearing trunks as the belt does an infinitely better job than the Snyder version - Still would have preferred with trunks though and this goes for all of Tyler's future suits except the Flashback suit.

Brandon Routh (Crisis/Kingdom Come):

9/10 - Crazy how one of the best superman suits ever came from a late stage CW crossover - easily one of the best they ever made for the Arrowverse and if the black Kingdom Come section of the suits had been swapped out for Yellow like they were post crisis then it would easily have been a 10/10

Nicholas Cage (The Flash):

0/10 - good lord do I even need to say anything what is this abomination - I am so glad this never got made

Tyler Hoechlin (Flashback/Fleischer):

8/10 - Again amazing - The logo was a bit off for me though and (like all of Tyler's future suits) the padding is horrendous, like WHAT ARE THOSE ABS NO ONE HAS ABS LIKE THAT

Tyler Hoechlin (Season 1-2):

8/10 - Good but feels too much like a bad cosplay and the padding is not good plus not a fan of the logo looking stitched into the fabric

Tyler Hoechlin (Season 3-4):

9/10 - A huge improvement over the previous seasons - Fixes most of the problems like the logo no longer looking stitched horribly placed - most of the bad cosplay is gone from the suit - They did use a similar texture to the Snyder suit which was done to make it more alien looking in Snyder's version but here if you look closely then you see the texture is made up of interlocking Superman Logos which is so cool - Padding is still bad but oh well

David Cornswet: 9/10

9/10 - Crazy how the best look they've given us so far is a behind the scenes set photo (what was that reveal image good lord) but good lord is it so good - The logo could use some work - I've got nothing against the Kingdom Come design but maybe a little curve at the bottom to give it a slight S shape - The gold Fleischer outline is a nice touch - My favourite version of the cape so far, using the New 52 design to attach the cape to the body and the yellow logo at the back??? (Ik its not in this photo but its there search it up) - The belt looks so good and there is minimal to no padding in this suit which means he just looks that good in it - The trunks are perfect and the colour is amazing - The lines are a bit much - makes it look a little too MCU style but the costume designer is the same one who did the MCU designs for Captain America 2 and 3, Avengers 3 and 4 and Guardians 2 and 3 so that tracks - She also did X-Men: The Last Stand and Gunn's Suicide Squad so I can understand the MCU like parts - Go check out her work her name is Judianna Makovsky - she's done some of the best comic book suit adaptations.

This story is a request

Masterlist

Author’s notes:I’m so sorry this took too long to be published but I had a lot of troubles in writing this request. I hope you’ll like it and thank you to the anon for being so patient and respectful while waiting for their story♡

Tumblr works with reposts:if you enjoyed my story please repost and leave a feedback! Help me growing!♡

“I’ll support you whatever your choice is”

“Good morning babe” Baekhyun whispered to your hear,kissing your cheek. You slowly opened your eyes,bringing into focus the imagine of your beautiful boyfriend. Messy hair,puffy cheeks and his early morning raspy voice that you loved so much. “Good morning” you replied,snuggling up next to him. You wrapped your arm around his shoulder and buried your face in his naked chest. Baekhyun giggled,caressing your head “It’s time to go to work” he then talked sweetly,kissing your forehead,his favourite spot.

“Is it already? I don’t wanna leave the bed” you huffed

“Me neither,but we have to” he smiled and walked to the bathroom. You looked at his slender figure:his fingers were running through his hair,making it even messier,a smile appeared on your lips while thinking about how lucky you were to have had him by your side for the past four years.

You fixed the pillow under your head,laying down a few more minutes while waiting for Baekhyun to be ready. When you said that you didn’t want to leave the bed it was actually true:besides loving sharing cuddles with your boyfriend,you didn’t feel well that morning. You felt tired,pretty weak,and your tummy ached.

You sighed,watching Baekhyun open the wardrobe to choose what to wear.

“White or blue?” he showed you two of his favourite shirts

“Blue shirt and white trousers” you suggested,the boy nodded “You’re right” he replied,getting dressed.

He was already tying his shoe laces when he raised his head to look at you with his warm dark eyes

“You’ll be late if you don’t get up babe,is everything alright?” he asked

“It is-you nodded-I just feel tired. Probably my period is arriving” you explained yourself,sitting in between the sheets.

Baekhyun nodded,stretching his torso out to you in order to place one more kiss on your forehead

“Then it’s a good thing that yesterday I bought your favourite cookies” he smiled

“You did?!”

“Yes,they’re in the cupboard. Enjoy your breakfast and for anything call me. I’ll come as soon as I can” said so,Baekhyun grabbed his jacket and left.

Slowly,you got out of bed,walking towards the bathroom to take a shower. Your body was heavy,even more sensitive than usual,and the damn cramps coming and going weren’t helping you finding a little bit of strength to go to work.

You sighed:the warm water running on your skin seemed to bother you as every drop made your chest ache or tingle.

“Damn it” you mumbled,harshly shutting the jet down before getting ready. In order to be as much comfortable as you could be you wore a shirt and a pair of jeans;then,you grabbed your phone to check when you’re period would’ve come:two days. The mystery had been solved:being so moody was a classic for you when your period was so close.

You ate the biscuits Baekhyun had bought you and drank a coffee,then you drove to your office.

You worked as a graphic designer for a music company,and you usually loved your job. The idea of getting up and thinking about hundreds of ways to create the perfect cover for the album of a boyband or a girlband challenged you everyday,making you excited to find the perfect combination of colours and textures;however,that morning,in your body there wasn’t a single crumb of propensity for working well,you showed up and finished that single cover just because you had to.

Your day went by slowly,as slowly as a wounded turtle,and as soon as you came back home you shifted into your pyjama and went to bed.

Baekhyun arrived at home one hour later than usual:he turned on the lights and looked for you.

“Babe?” he called you

“I’m here” you mumbled from the bed,holding yourself up with the elbows

“Are you okay?” he demanded,sitting next to you

“I’m not feeling good. I think this period it’s gonna be harsh” you explained

Baekhyun caressed your cheek and gently kissed your lips:

“Then I gotta buy a lot of snacks”

“Chocolate. I want a lot of chocolate”

“It’s on its way” the boy smiled and left,coming back a few minutes later with your dinner and what you had asked for.

“I’ve bought chinese food” he said,placing a plastic bag in your hands

“That’s amazing! I love Chinese food!”

“I know-the guy laughed-that’s why I bought it”

You opened the packages,dining together on the bed:you didn’t know why the food didn’t seem as tasty as usual even tho you were hungry;however you ate without complaining and went straight to the dessert. You had plenty of choices:Baekhyun had bought you chocolate pralines,croissants,bars and different snacks,including chocolate milk:you felt like a happy kid.

Hopefully, in the next days you would’ve gotten better;but nothing changed and your period didn’t show up.

It was Wednesday,you were sitting at the cafeteria of your company,waiting for a Cappuccino to be served at your table,when your colleague,Momo,sat next to you.

“You’re so pale! Are you okay?” she asked,worried,sliding a piece of cheesecake towards you

“I am,thank you-you mumbled,looking at the cake in front of you-you can eat this,don’t worry about me”

“Sweets always help feeling better. Come on,I’m not blind,what’s up with you? Is there anything I can do?”

“Honestly…I’m having troubles with my period. I’m feel pretty bad”

“Poor thing! What is it? Is it too strong?”

“No,actually…it didn’t come at all-you sighed,eating a small piece of cheesecake to immediately spit it into a tissue a few seconds later-this tastes so bad…” a disgusted expression appeared on your face

“Does it? Usually it’s so good-Momo’s fork sinked in the cake and brought a piece to her mouth-it’s delicious sweetheart! Why don’t you like it?”

“It tastes…strange. It makes me nauseous” you sighed

The girl sitting next to you blinked confused and covered her mouth with her hands

“Are you sure you’re not pregnant?”

At those words your fork slipped away from your hand,falling on the ground,while you pushed your back against the chair. An expression of fear appeared on your face.

“Are you crazy Momo?!-you asked too loudly,making a few people turn around-I can’t be! We do it safely,I don’t want kids,nor Baek does”

“I’m not saying that you surely are,or that you don’t use protections but…hum…how to tell you…maybe you had proble-”

“I know what you mean-you interrupted the girl-and no,I don’t think that’s possible”

“Have you checked?”

“I didn’t but-“

The silence fell at your table,then Momo giggled:

“I think a test is recommended in this case” she suggested.

You sighed and ruffled your own hair,hiding your face with your hands

“That can’t be possible come on…”

“Just do it! You can’t pretend that everything’s fine,I’ll come with you” she grabbed her bag and stood up,pointing at the door with her head as she was telling you to follow her.

You did so and walked to the nearest pharmacy,doing the test in the bathroom of your apartment. You waited a few seconds,thinking that it would’ve been negative…but it wasn’t.

Surprise! Someone was on their way to you!

Panicked,you fixed your skirt and ran out from the bathroom,slamming the door

“This can’t be possible! It can’t be! It’s wrong,I’m sure!” you yelled,walking back and forth

“It can’t be wrong,and we both know. Just calm down!” Momo followed you,grabbing your arm to make you stand still

“We can’t have a kid! Baekhyun doesn’t even want it!”

“Have you talked to him about that?”

“Well…not really…”

“Then how can you say that he doesn’t want it?”

“I’m sure…” you lowered your head

“And what about you? Do you want it? Do you want a kid?” Momo bent down a little,looking straight into your eyes.

You hesitated a second before talking:you didn’t know what to say. Before finding out that you were a soon to be mother you would’ve bet anything on an answer such as no…but now? Now you weren’t so sure anymore.

“I-…” you were about to say something when,suddenly,the door was opened,revealing Baekhyun.

“Hey babe,what’s this chaos? I could hear you mumbling from the stairs” he laughed and greeted Momo. In that moment you wanted to disappear.

Why was he already home? The only day in which he should’ve stayed at work he had decided to come back earlier than usual? You surely were born unlucky,you thought.

Momo’s eyes kept shifting from your shocked face to Baekhyun’s pretty smile,until,with a fake cough,she speed walked towards the door

“I think Y/n’s got something important to tell you. Good luck” she said,running off.

“Damn her” you mentally cursed her,then looked at your boyfriend who was already waiting for you to explain yourself.

“So?” he asked confused,putting his jacket on the coat hanger.

You licked your lips,sweating,thinking about how to get out from that embarrassing and nerve wracking situation. You were trying to imagine Baekhyun’s reaction at your news;what could it have been? Would he have been happy? Would he have left you? Or would he have asked you to get rid of the baby? You were sure he didn’t want a kid,but,at the same time,you were also sure that he wasn’t a bad person and that whatever he would’ve said,he would’ve said it for your own well being and the kid’s.

“Babe?-he stepped closer,caressing your shoulders with his hands-I’m getting worried,what is it?”

You bit your lip and sighed,lowering your head:

“What would you say if I…hum…told you that…a new member of the family is on their way?” your expression was the one of a child who had just done a mistake,which made Baekhyun laugh

“Have you adopted a puppy?” he asked,but you shook your head

“It’s something else…”

“Then a cat? Or a bird? I wouldn’t be surprised if you brought a parrot home” he joked

“No,no it’s nothing like that…”

“Then what is-“ Baekhyun eyes widened as he held onto the armchair,sitting a few seconds later

“Babe,are you okay?” you ran to him,benting down at his height as you thought he wasn’t feeling good.

“That can’t be possible!” he yelled. You startled and fell back

“But it is…” you murmured

Baekhyun sighed and stood up,offering you his hand so you could get up from the floor

“But we always do it safely”

“I know! But look,here it is!” you threw the test at Baekhyun who caught it by luck.

His eyes widened even more as he looked at the results on the stick

“I’m gonna faint” he sat on the couch

“Babe!” you shook him

“I can’t believe it. How’s this possible?”

“Accident in the process probably…” you scratched the back of your neck.

Your boyfriend stroke his forehead with his thumb and index,then he covered his face with his hand.

The silence fell in the room as you sat next to him,wrapping your arms around his shoulders while your head rested against his.

“Do you want it?” you asked

“Do you?” he asked back. You didn’t answer so he just kissed your temple.

“I’ll support you whatever your choice is. You know I dream about a family with you,it doesn’t matter if we’ll build it earlier than what we expect. As long as you’re healthy and happy with yourself I’ll be fine” the boy caressed your head and gave you another kiss. You hugged him,burying your head in the cloth of his shirt.

You stayed there for a while,in silence,embraced by Baekhyun’s warmth while trying to figure out what you really wanted.

A family surely was in your plan,same for Baekhyun,but both of you wanted to build one in a few years,once you had gotten married and found a bigger house;however the idea of an abortion just because everything was happening faster and earlier than what you expect seemed wrong to you.

“I want it” you suddenly said,raising your head from Baekhyun’s shoulder

“Are you sure about that?”

“I am. Just like you said,it doesn’t matter if it’s a few years earlier than what we have planned”

At those words the boy’s eyes started shining,then e hugged you tightly

“I can’t believe it” he mumbled,you swore he was about to cry

“Are you okay Baek?” you asked,he shook his head.

“Fuck I’m not” he grabbed a pillow,hiding behind it

“Are you crying??” you giggled

“No babe,what are you talking about?” he was already sobbing

“I thought you would’ve been mad…”

At those words Baekhyun automatically let the pillow fall

“Do I look mad to you?!”

he pointed at his teary eyes,so uou kissed his cheek

“I’m so glad I’ve found you” you hugged him.

Baekhyun held you in his arms,caressing your back as his chin rested on top of your head.

“No, I’m so glad I’ve found you,let’s start this together” he whispered,placing a kiss on your tummy

FEMALE MOVIE/TV RECS (PART 9 / ADULT & FAMILY ANIMATION)

got inspired from a recommendation post so decided to make a list of movies and shows with female-centric stories/female protagonists. since i can't post all of the genres in one post, i'll split it into multiple posts and y'all can save or add to the list as you wish. (disclaimer: i have watched most of these, but i only know about the existence of others. not every movie/show on these lists will be my recommendation. my recommendations will be beneath the list with reasons. also some of these are way better than others in terms of storytelling/performance--which is why i'll list my faves separately):

Common Themes/Tropes:

-Woman/girl is OP and gets bullshit from other people for it

-Heroine tries desperately to fix the world

-Leaving home to go on adventures for the sake of a dream or doing the right thing

-Sisters are a lifeline

-Women/girls can literally do or be anything

-Violence is the only answer men will understand

-The world is so big, grand and beautiful and she wants to see more of it

-Girls being the conscience of an entire society

-Things going ham when she reaches Boss Level

-Magic (and violence) are good things, especially paired together

-A man (usually a father or guy friend) is the only conscience she has left

-F*ck marriage there's bigger problems TM

-I must save my father/sister

-Serious mommy issues

-Has an animal companion or IS the animal companion (robots also count as animal companions in terms of function imo)

-Making friends with the monster

OF WHICH ARE FOR ADULT AUDIENCES:

Pantheon

Scavenger's Reign

Blue Eye Samurai

Arcane: League of Legends

Trese

HAVEN'T WATCHED:

Pantheon

Lilo & Stitch

Fiona & Cake

Star Vs. The Forces of Evil

Trese

Green Snake

The Breadwinner

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Violet Evergarden

Barbie in The Diamond Castle

Monsters Vs Aliens

Epic

Finding Dory

Encanto

The Incredibles II

Tinkerbell: Legend of The Neverbeast

Brave

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND:

Blue Eye Samurai (10/10) (super gritty, but the perfect revenge story, puts John Wick to shame)

Scavenger's Reign (8/10) (split story, but two of the main characters are women, and one is a black lesbian! fantastic animation, though don't watch if you're intensely trypophobic, it can be sci-fi horror)

Mulan (9/10) (one of the most perfect animated Disney classics)

Turning Red (8/10) (this movie remembered the tween era)

Tinkerbell (if you crave matriarchy, sisterhood, magic and female centric society and story, then you need to watch the Tinkerbell movies)

Wolfwalkers (7.5/10) (an anti-colonial, anti patriarchal, pro-pagan fantasy movie with beautiful animation and a very touching, female-centric story)

Arcane: League of Legends (10/10) (gorgeous animation, amazing writing, incredible performances, and don't get me started on the sisters that take centre stage--also, lesbianism and gender nonconformity!)

The Legend of Korra (8/10) (good writing, a badass protagonist, a fantastic cast of characters, beautiful scoring, beautiful animation, amazing action sequences)

PERSONAL NOTES

The Mitchells Vs The Machines is basically a drama between a lesbian girl and her dad who have to figure their relationship out while they're running from robots. It was full of heart and fun and had some good jokes in there. I'd definitely recommend it.

Raya & The Last Dragon is the first Disney movie with a gender non-conforming princess! It also has some of the best action sequences in any Disney animated movie, however it doesn't hold a candle to The Incredibles II, which stars Helen Parr as the main character of the film. It's one of my favourite films of all time because of how they depict Helen and the main villain of the story (a badass genius of a woman). Really pro-female films, even for all their flaws.

Abominable has some of the most gorgeous visuals I've seen outside of a Disney animation. The texturing and coloring is so vivid it makes my mouth water. It's far better than Over The Moon, but both have their own charm. Abominable and Home have very similar plots. Also, the girl in Home is voiced by Rihanna while Beyonce voices the queen of the faeries in Epic.

One movie that shares a similar theme (kindness to animals even if we don't understand them or they scare us) with Abominable is The Sea Beast. The Sea Beast is one of the best animations with a black female girl as a lead I've ever seen. There's also a badass black woman pirate. There are some scenes that could have been written (or colored) better, but I loved it either way. I think it was the first animated film to depict shrinkage for black hair! And it didn't lighten the skin or whiten the features of the black characters!

Many people view Frozen II and Brave as "almost" masterpieces whose writers ultimately failed them, and I can say that I agree to some extent. There are many things technically wrong with the movies. Minor details that set the pacing off or take away from the immersion. However, I still love both of them. I really love daughter vs mother and sister vs sister stories (that includes Tinkerbell: The Secret of The Wings) because there's so much to explore in such relationships. They also both have some killer soundtracks, some amazing visuals and well-executed action sequences. I've truly seen way worse than these two films, and the characters are mostly loveable.

The Breadwinner is an animated film about a girl dressing up like a boy under the rule of the Taliban so she can earn some money to help feed her family. It's scored very high by critics.

I'd also recommend The Owl House (even though there's some appeal to genderism in later seasons). It's the first time I've seen a bisexual animated character and the enemies to lovers arc with Luz and Amity is unmatched in cannon magic school stories. I also really love the depiction of The Owl Lady who is treated like a male character in that she is allowed to be non-maternal, single and old (and wrinkled), arrogant and boastful, all without the show trying to punish her for it. The Boiling Isles are also fascinating as a setting.

If you like The Owl House, there's a chance you'll love She-Ra. There were many things I found annoying about She-Ra, but my experience was mostly positive. I'm not the biggest fan of Catradora, but I do appreciate the drama. I loved the world-building and magic system mainly, so the character quirks didn't get to me as much as they have others. Also, amazing antagonists in this series. It could have been more mature, but it's still entertaining.

I also definitely recommend Home on The Range. It's a whole movie with talking animals, but there's no tomboy like the main female protagonist in a Disney movie. She is one of the most tomboy characters Disney ever made. Also, I love 2D animation and this film reminds me why. Also, the idea of a feminine, micromanaging old heifer, a bull-headed, roughhouse new girl cow, and a young airhead cow that can't sing going on an adventure across the wild west to save their human's (a sweet old lady with some bark and bite) farm? And they have to compete with a hotshot, asshole male horse who is young and fast? It's like the perfect western comedy but with cows!

Anyways, if you can't tell, I love animated stuff and a lot of these are my comfort movies.

SEASON OF LOVE - LOVE FLOWERS

pairing: kaiser x gn! reader

day 0 ← masterlist → day 2

he stood in the flower shop. a stranger in a strange land. michael kaiser had never bought flowers for a partner before; it felt strange and unfamiliar. looking around, unsure of what to do, he felt like an intruder. like he wasn't supposed to be there. like he didn't belong.

he felt the eyes of the shopkeeper upon him, judging him, and he felt a sudden wave of anxiety veil over his being.

it was the time of year when the flowers were in full bloom. the air was filled with the sweet scent of roses, and the streets were lined with colourful bouquets of daisies and lilies. he felt it was his duty to buy you flowers since having first heard your fondness for the delicate bloom. so why did it feel disingenuous to be standing here in middle of all the beautifully cut and arranged flowers in pretty pots waiting to be taken home to you?

"how may i help you sir?"

it was the same shopkeeper who had been inspecting him with a look of disgust or disapproval. which one it was, kaiser didn't know. but he didn't really care

"yes actually. i'm looking for flowers to get for my partner."

"a partner...so what are their favourite flowers?"

"i'm not entirely sure."

"you're not sure." he sounded so utterly disinterested it almost offended kaiser. "favourite colour perhaps?"

it finally struck him. he didn't deserve to be your romantic partner at all. he had no idea how to make a romantic gesture, how to express his feelings in a way that would be meaningful to his beloved. kaiser felt like a clumsy child, unable to speak matters of heart. but then again, even children knew their crush's favourite colour.

"see, we don't really talk about that..."

"it really isn't my place to comment...but, perhaps seek out a relationship therapist rather than just buying flowers as an apology."

how dare he? kaiser didn't need some stupid flower shop to get flowers. he didn't need this treatment. he didn't deserve it.

"as you said, it's not your place to comment."

kaiser still felt unfamiliar and like an intruder, the only difference was that he didn't care to fit in anymore. so he left. the only problem that now remained was getting you those flowers.

it wasn't long before he found himself in front of a gaping meadow. the meadow was a vision of beauty, a tapestry of colour and texture, a dreamscape of wildflowers. while the sun shone down from a cloudless sky, the air was alive with the scent of spring and kaiser felt like he was about to drift away. the grass was a lush, vibrant green, and the flowers were a riot of pinks and purples, yellows and blues. a breathtaking harmony of nature's bounty.

perfect for you.

the figure of a man, moved slowly through the meadow, his gaze intent on the flowers that surrounded him. he was picking them, one by one, carefully selecting the most beautiful blooms and holding them in his hand gently. he imagined how you would react. a bright smile for sure, he couldn't wait for that smile. like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the room with its warmth and beauty.

in fact, when he gave you those same flowers, some with their roots still sticking out, dirt under his nails, you smiled. oh you smiled so so brightly, if the sun was still out your smile would've been a fair competitor.

"for me?"

"who else?" he said sheepishly, holding the flowers out to you while looking away. it was quite unnatural for you to see him like this, but you didn't mind really.

"why would you pick them yourself? there are are flower shops for a reason..."

"i didn't like any of the flower arrangements there."

"oh yeah? so what makes your flower arrangement better." you teased. you knew he hadn't thought that hard about it but you were curious to see what he'd come up with on the spot.

"the smoothness of the petals remind me of your soft skin, under my touch–"

"is that so?" you couldn't help giggling, he looked so passionate about it, it felt unreal.

"shh i have more to say. the sweet fragrance of the blooms reminds me of your sweet smiles." he was getting closer to you now, pulling you in by the waist. he didn't even have to whisper for you to hear him.

"shut up." your body shaking with laughter, you could feel a blush burning your cheeks.

"i was reminded of the way you laugh, your head thrown back and eyes sparkling with joy, when i saw the way the petals seemed to dance in the breeze."

he leaned in, lips brushing against yours in a series of small kisses. you giggled, eyes twinkling with delight just as he had said, and you couldn't help but smile. you stayed like that for a moment, lips barely touching, and then you both burst into laughter.

the air was filled with a playful energy, and you were glad you had him with you here, close and warm. you stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity, bodies intertwined in a passionate embrace, and you knew that you had found your home.

Arknights VFX question: Any highlights or personal favourites as far as the "Stick a whole background/huge jpeg in there behind the character" category of skills goes?

Oh I like this question. This made me consider things I've never looked at before, so thank you for that. I had to do research.

So, there's not a lot of ops like this, and shockingly, I don't have many positive things to say about them. BUT I did find a few interesting highlights I think are worth discussing.

First off, I will leave Eine Variation out of this, as I have made my thoughts on that Thing very clear.

But, my favorite skin in the game actually does indeed have the Background.Jpeg - Specter's As One!

Aaaand it's easily the worst part of my favorite skin. Don't get me wrong, i think it's probably one of the better executions of the idea, since it's like, a skybox, it matches the pallette, matches the artstyle of the skin, it's almost perfect. I wish it was a LITTLE less static, maybe have some distortion ripples across it like waves to keep the stars moving, or maybe have them twinkle a bit or something. But it's fine. But a good effect isn't everything.

Effects relies heavily on the principles of animation, too. Appeal, weight, color, and most importantly of all - timing. Having a proper lead in can make a bad effect good, and having a bad lead-in can make a good effect fucking terrible. And having no lead-in at all will absolutely fuck your effect and make it super clear that you took a jpeg from the skin art and superimposed it behind your operator.

Here. Look at the picture above. Now, I am going to tab back literally just one single frame in the animation and...

oh ...there's no fade in at all. It just literally appears in a single frame. It draws way more attention to itself than it needs to just by virtue of literally popping in. It's SUPER obvious that it's just Skybox.jpeg. If it faded in with some sort of noise mask (which takes literally less than 2 minutes to make,) it would be so so so much better. Again, this is my favorite skin in the game, and I already think S3 is quite beautiful, so this is nitpicking, but this skybox always bugged me a lot.

Now to say a sentence no one has ever said - going up a step in quality from Specter to Hoederer!

I can't fully get this one in a still image and I'm too tired to record a video / gif so just go with this, alright?

This one is ALMOST GOOD. ALMOST. IT'S SO FUCKING CLOSE. The texture is being distorted by a wavelike noise that is giving it the rippling effect of fire, which is the standard thing to do for making a stylized fire. The problem is that... The texture itself doesn't fucking move? It's just being UV distorted, just a bit of offset to the material and I just AUGH.

It's so so so obvious that it's just a static jpeg of fire that's being waved around like a flag to get it to contort into being fire. This wouldn't bother me if the actual fire texture didn't have implications of movement in the little waves and fades and stuff. I hate it it's so irritating it's so CLOSE. But also, animating an entire fire flipbook would have taken a lot more time, and I can 100% guarantee you the VFX artist is also unhappy with this one. Their A team was probably on Arturia or something. Speak of the devil -

I've had a few people ask how I feel about Arturia's S3 after I expressed my hatred for Eine Variation, and I am here to say - this unambiguously fucking rules, for a few reasons.

First and least importantly, THE MONSTER MOVES. The monster itself has slight movement, you can notice its arms wiggle a little and mouth open and close. This is a small thing that goes a LONG way to make it feel way more dynamic and alive. It's also being distorted by a noise like Hoederer is, which is quite nice as a touch, really helps to make that limited movement feel way more significant than it is.

Second, is that the texture is monochromatic, but in a different way than Arturia is. The grays are colder, harsh blue-grays to contrast Arturia herself, who is a very warm gray. This makes it so that it adds a really nice background that looks like part of her, while also standing out and allowing her to stand out against it. It's a really smart use of monochrome to create visual interest using just different subtle shades of gray.

But that bluish hue also serves to compliment the only color in the effect - the blue light from the cello. Your eyes are naturally drawn to brighter glowing things, which is also the only colored spot on the effect - the cello from which her Arts emerge. As a result, the Beastie.jpg fades out of your attention, becoming monochromatic noise, which, due to being just kinda chaotic and aesthetically dissonant, you interpret more as abstract Shape than anything else. That abstract shape then makes a cone which leads you down into Arturia's center, which is her cello, which is where her Arts are coming from.

This is basically to say - These are very emblematic of what I think makes good effects textures in general. They work best when they're not alone. When these backgrounds are part of a larger whole that's all coming together to make an effect, rather than being the centerpiece of the whole thing. When I notice the background, it's a problem, in my eyes. Maybe people disagree. They keep putting them in skins, and a lot of people thought the Eine Variation goat was cool as hell, so clearly I'm in the wrong here, but hey. Who gives a shit.

I'm sure there's way more examples of this, (actually I know there are,) but I'm extremely tired and need to go the fuck to sleep. If there's any particular backgrounds ya'll want me to take a look at, lemme know and I'll get back to you when I've woken from my dread slumber.

Emily's Letter Diary: Part 3

23rd June

It’s hard to call you by your old name anymore. You are Lily now, fully transformed. Today you wore a light blue sundress with tiny white polka dots and matching sandals. Your hair was styled into two adorable pigtails, each secured with a pink bow. You looked so happy. I know I should feel more conflicted, but seeing you smile like that fills my heart with joy.

29th of June

We’re packing to leave the resort, and you’re excited about starting school. I dressed you in a comfy outfit for the journey home—a soft pink t-shirt with a glittery unicorn on the front, paired with comfy denim shorts that had a frilly trim. On your feet were light-up trainers that flashed with every step you took. You clutched your newfound favourite cuddly toy—a plush bunny with long, floppy ears and a cute little bow around its neck. You looked up at me with wide eyes and said, "Mummy, I'm scared of the plane. Can Bunny sit with me?" You held my hand so tightly, and I felt an overwhelming sense of love and protection.

30th of June

When we got home, there was a surprise waiting for us. EternaLife Solutions had arranged for everything. They had redecorated the spare room into a perfect little girl's bedroom. It took my breath away. The walls were painted a soft pastel pink, with delicate white butterflies stencilled around the edges. There was a white canopy bed adorned with fairy lights, and the bedspread was a patchwork of soft colours and textures, perfect for a little girl.

A white dresser stood against the wall, topped with a mirror framed in pink. Inside, it was filled with adorable clothes—tiny dresses, skirts, and tops, each more charming than the last. They even included a section for school uniforms. Your new uniform was already hung up, waiting for you. It consisted of a pleated navy skirt, a crisp white blouse with a Peter Pan collar, and a navy cardigan with the school's emblem. The shoes were shiny black Mary Janes, and beside them were neatly folded white socks.

When I led you into the room, I saw a flicker of confusion in your eyes. For a moment, you seemed to struggle with a distant memory, a life that felt familiar but out of reach. You looked around, almost as if expecting to see the master bedroom. I held my breath, wondering if you’d remember. But then, your confusion melted away into a smile as you saw the pretty dresses and the soft pink decor. You ran into the room with wide eyes, touching everything with delight. Then, as if something clicked, you started to act like this was the room you always remembered. You turned to me with a look of pure joy and innocence, excited to try on your new uniform. I felt another feeling of overwhelming love and pride.

2nd of July

We’re back home, and I’ve enrolled you in school. I don't think you remember your old life anymore. You’re just my daughter, Lily, happy and carefree. I know what I’ve done is controversial, and maybe even wrong, but seeing you thrive makes it all feel worth it. I love you more than anything.

4th of July

As you get ready for your first day of school, I can’t help but reflect on everything we’ve been through. I hope one day you’ll understand why I made these choices. I did it out of love, a deep, desperate love for you, my beautiful daughter.

With all my love,

Emily

We used to purchase mooncakes from Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel many moons ago until we switched over to Raffles Hotel due to their Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake. With the latest price increase this year and low discounted offer, our pocket just couldn’t take the hit anymore.  We went back to Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant (万豪轩中餐厅) from the former hotel as they are offering a bigger discount! Immediately went online to order two boxes of Assorted Snowskin Mooncakes (萬豪精致冰皮月饼). Original price is S$88 less 40% corporate discount so we paid S$52.80.

On the day of collection. I was dismayed to find out that the so called Mini Mooncakes (迷你月饼) are real dainty in size that one can pop the whole piece into the mouth! While the packaging was beautifully designed and accompanied with a stylish cooler bag, the boxes containing the mooncakes only had loose plastic cover so it doesn’t keep the contents airtight. Coupled with the tiny size of the mooncakes, the glutinous rice skin was dried out and hard. :(

Yuzu Honey with Peach Passionfruit Praline (蜂蜜柚子蜜桃百香果奶心冰皮月饼) – A fruity and refreshing treat made with fresh Yuzu and pure honey. Featuring a medley of zesty yuzu, passionfruit and peach – the end result is a harmonious symphony of flavours when you bite into the praline.

Blueberry with Maple Cream Cheese Praline (蓝莓枫糖奶油芝士奶心冰皮月饼) – A favourite of my sis with visually stunning with eye-catching hues of blue, this new creation offers a burst of blueberry goodness coupled with a luscious maple cream cheese centre; unveiling a dense and chewy bite.

Irish Cream Latte with Baileys Praline (爱尔兰奶油拿铁百利甜酒奶心冰皮月饼) – Attention all connoisseurs of Baileys! Get boozy with this treat – sweet, milky and notes of vanilla from the Baileys praline paired with velvety smooth latte. Every mouth pack a distinctive taste, making this is my favourite of the four flavours.

White Lotus Seed Paste with Salted Egg Praline (白莲蓉咸蛋奶心冰皮月饼) – Here’s a modern spin to a beloved classic. Imagine sweet and smooth White Lotus Seed Paste accompanied with rich creamy salted egg praline – bringing out the perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavours. This is the closest match to the traditional baked mooncake with salt egg yolk but with a chewy glutinous rice skin.

PS - Kudos to the team at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel for their swift action in getting in touch with my sis after she feedbacked to them on the dry and hard snowskin mooncakes. The hotel replaced our two boxes of mooncakes and I am glad to say that the snowskin got back it soft chewy texture.

I was thinking about my favourite final levels in the series, and one of them happens to be SA1's Final Egg. While there are plenty of reasons why I love it, such as the music, the gimmicks, and its status as the prelude to the iconic Egg Viper battle, a big reason is how it manages to walk a perfect tightrope aesthetically.

When it comes to gritty levels in Sonic, I prefer when they maintain an element of intrigue that keeps it unique to this franchise, as opposed to being a generic wasteland or typical ruined city like Crisis City, something you could find in the average triple A walking simulator. I like it when they're visualized in a creative, unconventional way, even if the concept is standard in theory; it's why I love the Bad Futures in CD, Scrap Brain in Sonic 1, and Titanic Monarch in Mania. Even Cannon's Core in SA2 does this well.

And it's something Final Egg does too, in its own way. Though it's not yet fully abandoned by the time Sonic pays a visit, everything looks rusted and grimy compared to most Eggman strongholds seen across the games. Beyond the funky music, there's a real element of gloominess compared to the game's other levels... and yet it's never dull.

SA1's use of lighting and textures is a consistent A+ all around, and this level is no exception. Like every other level in the game, I frequently find myself gawking at everything like I'm DSP, even though this is supposed to be the semi-dilapidated factory that isn't meant to be flashy in-universe. Combine that with memorable gimmicks like the swinging hammers, the crude puppets based on Team Sonic, that one spinning cylinder that's there for no reason, and the strange blue liquid that I like to headcanon as a variation of Mega Mack (but that's just a theoryyy), and it's all just so good. I love this game's aesthetic no matter the location. <3

(Of course, this is all referring to Dreamcast Final Egg. DX: Director's Budget Cut dropped the ball and made it look like shit, as usual for DX.)

Your idol matchups look like fun. I'm gonna ask for one and see what you cook up, if that's ok.

Appearance-wise I am a 165 cm tall, average build, Bangladeshi woman (She/her but also cool with they/them). I have wavy black hair that just reaches below my shoulders and I usually dress in South Asian attire, usually salwar-kameez plus a hijab. I also wear glasses. I don't really feel comfortable going out without them 😅

My MBTI and enneagram: INTJ 5w4

Star sign: Sagittarius sun, Virgo moon and rising (I act more like a Virgo, allegedly)

Sexuality: demiromantic asexual (demisexual?)

Personality traits: Calm, collected, polite, quiet, shy (but that can easily be mistaken for being aloof or done with everyone's shit (they aren't entirely wrong about the latter)) (someone told me I radiate black cat energy), not very facially expressive (I'm the most emotional emotionless person I know. I do feel things more deeply than people give me credit for), a good listener, hardworking (I often bite off more than I can chew and end up burnt out), intelligent (especially with numbers. RIP impostor syndrome + gifted kid burnout syndrome. As much as I love my major, electrical engineering is kicking my ass). I am also the oldest of three sisters, so I'm good at handling kids (I'm also expected to be the perfect daughter, so... yea). Someone also told me I'm wise, but all that wisdom came from all the books I read + watching Avatar: The Last Airbender lmao. The same person also said my presence was therapeutic (paraphrasing, of course. Also, this is alleged). Cats and dogs seem to love me also. Dogs like to come up to me and say hello, and cats just seem to feel at ease around me.

Hobbies: Making art, making jewelry, reading, writing, animating (I'm relatively new to animation. I don't know what I'm doing most of the time, but I'm still having fun), basically anything creative. I especially like to draw and paint things that radiate a sense of comfort, nostalgia, and serenity. Someone also told me that my artworks also hold a sort of innocence in the composition of the shapes, colours, and overall vibe of what I draw/paint. I also make jewelry from time to time

Likes: Classical music, lofi hip-hop, indie rpgs (Yume Nikki and Off have me in a chokehold), visual novel games (coughs in Obey Me, Court of Darkness, Twisted Wonderland, Arcana Twilight, Ikemen Prince, and ofc, Tokyo Debunker), tea, books, creative outlets. I also like to learn psychology

Dislikes: Cruelty, anyone who would dare to threaten my family or friends, loud noises, red meat (The texture is too much for me to handle), bright lights. I also dislike strong smelling things and being in crowded, noisy and bright environments for prolonged periods of time

Favourite colours: Purple, blue, black

Favourite Aesthetic: academia

Favourite animal: Cat

One random fact about me: I made a Hetalia comic that was originally supposed to be a silly little volunteer project for my library, but it was showed on a display on flag day (It was about how Canada's flag came to be)

How you became an idol: youve always been a creative person and into multiple art forms. The only one you had yet to really try was preforming arts. You were told it was frivolous and a waste of time. However when you saw your first aikatsu performance you know that the stage was you wanted to be. Using your skills you wrote your own songs and designed your own outfits. You applied to preform in the local square and blew away the crowd. You got offended a spot at a prestigious idol academy abroad. Everyone who had ever doubted you couldn’t help but be proud. Your friends, family, and rapidly growing fanbase sent you off on your new adventure with a heartfelt farewell.

Your brand: Bejeweled Heart (self made)
