who tf does the twitter app think she is pausing my music whenever i scroll past a (muted!) video ad

                “ who the fuck doesn’t like kittens? ”   a rhetorical question, spilling against her touch  ( he chooses not to oppose it, as if he were perfectly oblivious to it. Hidan is, after all, purposefully oblivious to many things. and propriety is certainly among them. )  as his lips move around each precisely-enunciated syllable. in truth, it’s sort of funny ( sort of entertaining ), the way Hyeon narrows down her objections to the singular, uniquepart that was, in fact, true in his statement. it's a hook that he only partially bites into.  ( rhetorical, you see. answering a question with a question is but a sleight of hand. )

instead of complying ( to the request, to the liquid heat of her gaze ), he snakes an arm around her, body petite and easily entrapped. Hidan chooses, for a long moment, to allow his hand to rest against her back, pressed between her shoulderblades. the moment stretches. he foregoes to blink, grin unwavering as if frozen in time. then slowly, deliberately, his hand wanders down the whole length of her spine, and he questions ( idly and without too much concern ), if the bird painted underneath shivers at his languid touch ( at the threat that he could, if he chose to, wring its long, pretty neck –– as he could, if he so chose to, wring hers ).

                “ . . .. you want more, do you? earn it. ”   

     a quiet, delicate laugh slipped past parted lips as the goddess curiously studied the man. long, dark hair swayed as she tilted her head, dark brow raised in question.   " everything else i can understand, but i must say that you liking kittens, of all things, is what surprises me. i would have thought them too temperamental for you, darling. "   a slender hand reached out, cupping his chin, her thumb curiously swiped over the silken flesh.   " but tell me more, please? "   sinful lips curled into a pout as she glanced up at him through her lashes.

So I recently got this reaction to this post I made where I say how happy I am that Luffy is still aroace coded in the One Piece live action.

This person is now blocked so they won't be seeing this, and I won't reveal their username because I don't want people to harass them for this comment.

But it really annoyed me and with new people joining the fandom because of the live action, I just want to spread awareness because I don't like shipping wars at all.

Not only this comment is aphobic af, this person assumed that I'm a Zosan shipper. It is indeed a ship I like from time to time, but my main ship in One Piece is Sanami, so Luffy and Zoro have nothing to do with it. Luffy being aroace have nothing to do with Sanami. I also do like Sanlu (or Lusan), so my headcanon of aroace Luffy doesn't stop me from shipping him with Sanji sometimes, so this comment is just presumptuous and stupid.

I don't headcanon Luffy as aroace because it comes "in between" my ship. I don't fucking care if people ship Zolu (this person is a Zolu shipper if I go by their bio) or any other ship with Luffy. I headcanon Luffy as aroace because I need aroace representation as someone on the aroace spectrum. It has nothing to do with shipping.

If my personal headcanon of a character comes in between your ship, just ignore it, you don't have to have this headcanon too, but don't go tell me what I should ship or believe as a headcanon. And you've just made me like Zolu even less than before and I'll make sure to promote my aroace!Luffy headcanon even more congrats.

Totally agree that Tommy probably decided on his own to go see Buck.

Tbh, if you think about it it almost feels like Tommy was acting like Eddie's boyfriend or something. Obviously he wasn't, but like he's doing things a boyfriend might do?

Sure, the whole fight thing, the muy thai, the car thing. Kinda date-y things.

But also the you know picking up Eddie & driving them to the basketball game, when Eddie gets injured he kinda bats Buck away and is all 'oh, I'll do it. I drove him here.' Like a tad possesive.

And then goin to Buck's place to try and smooth things out. Almost like idk, the new wife trying to assure the ex-wife/mom that they still have a place in ex-husbands & son's life. Lolol.

I mean, that's how it kinda comes off to me when I REALLY think about it. Except you know he says friend (like in the whole Eddie can have two friends*) cuz there wasn't anything romantic or sexual between him and Eddie as far as we know.

*=which at first I thought was kinda funny, but when I think about it is kinda condecending af.

I don't know if that makes sense, hut I feel like a lot of Tommy's actions in that ep are very boyfriend-y without being a boyfriend, ya know?

🙈

LOL i cant tell you how much it annoyed me that he insisted on taking eddie to the urgent care instead of buck. like i know it's a phenomenally minor and stupid thing to be annoyed about. i recognize that. but I am fully in Buck's head in that moment and i found it so presumptuous!!!! like i just accidentally hurt my best friend i want to make sure he's okay???? and maybe eddie would actually feel more comfortable being taken care of by someone who's known him longer than 2 weeks?? it felt like tommy was like. not trusting buck to take care of Eddie (which, like, why is that his call??) and, once again, inserting himself into the situation so he could be the Hero/Good Guy. and in the meantime making buck feel MAXIMALLY guilty.

I've been fixating a bit on Good Omens, specifically on Neil Gaiman being accused of sexual assault and the petition to get Amazon to fire Neil as writer of Good Omens S3.

What I've read about Neil Gaiman assaulting those women seems credible to me. I mean, I try to believe women who say they're assaulted generally and give wide berth for the sometimes odd ways trauma can keep them from coming forward as soon as I'd like, or giving clean accounts of their assault. But I was busy, I hadn't read the reporting, and I also liked Gaiman's writing and felt like I knew him (of a sort) because of years of following his Tumblr feed. Now I've done the reading, and at least based on the evidence available... I believe them.

Which raises a very uncomfortable question. I like the Good Omens novel, and the show, and I do want to see what happens. I enjoy the fanworks even more, but the originals also has a special place in my heart.

A lot of discussion around the petition starts with the (strange to me) idea that no one owns art once it's shared publicly. I do think we all own our experience of the story, and if the creator meant us to experience it a certain way, it's their responsibility to lead us down that road. Probably it's impossible to create that experience in the same way for all readers or viewers, because humans are messy and we bring all sorts of glasses, rose-tinted or otherwise, to everything we read. (I'm thinking of that line from the Lord of the Rings introduction: "It is perhaps not possible in a long tale to please everybody at all points, nor to displease everybody at the same points; for I find from the letters that I have received that the passages or chapters that are to some a blemish are all by others specially approved.") So yes, people are going to experience fiction from their own vantage-point, and our own experience of a story is our own. I'm really not very interested in interviews or other secondary statements about what an author meant. I mean, if JKR wanted Dumbledore to be gay she should have written him that way, etc., etc.

Even so! The story as it is (not as it's experienced, which can be quite different) really is the work of the people doing the telling. We all have the right to our own perception, the story that lives rent-free in our head.

But to say the person who fashioned the story doesn't in some sense own it -- legally or ethically -- just feels odd to me. I suppose Amazon would be within their rights to fire Gaiman. Maybe they'd even legally be allowed to not film the third season. But to say he's just one writer among many, and that we're entitled to the show without the brain that (co-)birthed it? That doesn't feel accurate and I don't think I can get on board with it. It actually seems extremely presumptuous and entitled to me. I'm imagining if someone objected to something they found out about me and decided to just rewrite one of my fanfics. That would feel invasive af, and I can't imagine anything I could do that would give them that right.

What are the other options? Well, the obvious one is the JK Rowlings approach: she created the story, it's hers, and it's precisely because she's so hateful now we shouldn't engage with it. Applying this to Gaiman, maybe we say we can't watch or reread it, maybe we push Amazon not to release it or other companies not to develop his stories into shows. Morally that makes more sense, though it feels like a shame because Good Omens pokes fun at religion's foibles in a way I know a lot of people found very helpful. It also seems like good queer representation, and it's also just plain fun. I'd hate for us all to lose that.

Personally, I've gotten quite good over the years at enjoying good stories told by bad people. I still watch my DVD's of Oliver Twist and The Pianist, even knowing what Roman Polanski did. The Cosby Show still makes me laugh. Etc. It helps those are things I already own so I'm not giving those people I object to more money. Not sure what I'd do about Good Omens S3; probably I'd pirate it or wait for DVD's I could get through my library, because there's not another season we need to get greenlit and I'd rather avoid giving him more money if I can help it. But I don't feel some moral imperative to shun meaningful, enjoyable art because someone involved with it did something wrong. Certainly not the other art people have made around it, including fanworks.

I can respect people who come down on the other side and say, nope, Good Omens = Neil Gaiman so I'm no longer going to touch it. This idea that we can somehow cut Gaiman out of this story and somehow enjoy it without worry just doesn't sit right with me.

(I can 100% understand people who can't read the book or watch the show without thinking of him, to the point it's no longer enjoyable. I tend to get engrossed in what I watch to the point I'm not thinking of the RL people behind it, so that's less of a problem for me personally; but that's my personal quirk. And thank goodness for that- I studied philosophy, and there are lots of "interesting" biographies going on there...)

tfw ur girlfriend is presumptuous af but ur down too bad to care much anymore :// 

[silver-wield]

Hello. I just saw your reply to the other anon about Kasumi and I’m curious why you dislike her and what you think of her in general? I’ve only ever seen YouTube clips of her (enough to get the gist of her plot line) because honestly she single-handily turned me off from buying Royal.

The original persona 5 didn't have her and because of that she's been shoehorned into the plot, although she's totally unnecessary and could've just been an npc and not a phantom thief.

She's annoying af.

Literally all she does through the whole game is go on about how skinny she is, how she's a gymnast and screeches Senpai at Joker even though he's not a Senpai and the extent of his help is doing a couple work outs with her. And I get in Japan they call someone older a senpai but it's literally the most annoying fucking thing ever. She's so obnoxious and selfish and doesn't even talk to the other characters to integrate into the team because she's a shoehorned in addition.

She's just really presumptuous and pushy and I just hate her, and her persona is pointless since we already have someone with the same attribute. She is literally useless. I hate useless characters who act like they're more important than the lead.

Follow-up question (again) - do you think Eris’ relationships with his family (LoA, unnamed brothers, Lucien) color his opinion on being the hero or the villain? And how do they shape it?

OH I absolutely think his family shapes his perception of himself, but I'm not sure if it makes him feel more or less like a hero/villain. If anything I think he's likely compartmentalizing it and choosing to deal with it later.

LOA - I am a firm believer that while she is absolutely a victim of abuse and does not deserve ANY of what Beron sends her way, LoA is smart af, and absolutely is not just sitting by and waiting for one of her sons to kill her husband. This woman is a schemer. Like do we believe Beron was okay with her helping Feyre out after she saved Lucien's life? Absolutely not. This woman was willing to RISK IT ALL (against Beron AND Amarantha) to thank this random human. She's absolutely making plans. And I think Eris knows this as well and there is likely a quiet understanding between them that they will both do what is needed to survive...even if LoA does not approve of his actions. But does it make Eris feel more like a hero? probably not. More like his whole family is kinda fucked up. Maybe they are all villains in their own ways.

His brothers clearly fear him enough to fall in line, though I suspect there is no loyalty there and Eris must maintain near perfect strategy to keep ahead of them (unless somehow they are all idiots). I suspect they probably inadvertently reaffirm that he's doing the right thing tbh.

But Lucien... I think this is the one relationship that does impact his view of himself. Because Lucien detests him, it may? plant a seed of doubt in Eris. I don't think Eris is presumptuous enough to expect Lucien to recant everything he's said about him once he understands what's happening, but he likely hopes that one day Lucien will understand the hard decisions he made to keep the family from imploding.

If anything, I think Eris is likely wrestling with the idea of what IS a hero? After all, we're dealing with the fae and I suspect their idea of good and evil is a bit skewed.

im loving this series and i have a few questions about the thought process behind it,unfortunately some of my questions overlap with My Pride though.

how much was this series "inspired" by My Pride? did it start off as a sort of fix-it-fic that you realized had merit enough to be its own thing?

if that's the case, how many things in IHS are sort of parallels to things in My Pride, such as the protag's naming situation, a butch lesbian love interest for the protag, etc.

if Hope was indeed "based on" Nothing, what made you decide to make her disability a birth defect instead of a result of trauma?

i dont mean any of these questions to demean the originality of IHS btw. but now for more lighthearted questions

4) you said before that there will be humans in this series, i believe. are you worried about it being kind of a Warrior Cats situation where everyone's like "why are humans studying the beavers instead of the cats that reached the agricultural revolution and practice organized religion"

5) are all animals as anthro as the lions and hyenas appear to be? sorry if this is splitting hairs, im just curious if that's part of the worldbuilding. do the zebras have their own society going on?

6) theres a couple lions other than Diamond in the mountain/forest/whatever pride that appear to be physically disabled, such as one seemingly blind in one eye and one missing a leg. is this pride just way bigger than the golden grove pride so the amount of disabled lions is proportional, is the territory just more dangerous leading to more injuries, or is the pride like a safe haven that disabled travelers end up staying?

sorry for all the questions or any typos. keep up the great work

The comic started off as an AU where we were going to merge some characters together and take the story in the direction that we personally felt would've benefited it. Not really fixing it because that's pretty presumptuous but just where we wanted it to go.

I wouldn't describe these things as "parallels" because My Pride doesn't own such broad tropes? In fact, it pretty much lifted these tropes from Warrior Cats but some MP fans try and pretend that never happened lol. The only similarity we opted for was the disabled protagonist and, even then, we tried to make her differ from Nothing as much as possible. Hope and Storm were also based on MP OCs who were in a gay relationship that we had already and we naturally weren't gonna change that. Especially since Cat is a butch lesbian and deserves to be able to represent herself through her characters without MP fans insisting that MP copyrights butch lesbians all of a sudden and Hover was such a bad stereotype anyway. Storm's original design also actually came about in 2018, about a year or so before Hover's design was revealed so some similarities are just coincidental because MP's character designs are generic af and making similar looking characters is unavoidable.

We made that change because we wanted to show how a disability can be part of somebody as opposed to a tragedy in their life that hangs over them like it was in MP. Not saying that this is how these kinds of things are always handled in disability media as a whole but we just wanted to handle the disability theme differently from how MP handled it. We also didn't want Hope and Nothing to be viewed as the same character so giving Hope entirely different circumstances was essential for developing her as we have done. As much as I wanna hug Nothing: that's the whole point? We spend the whole series feeling sorry for her because of what happened to her and we didn't want Hope to fall into the same pattern.

No, because we've already established that the lions fear humans and keep well away from them. Even in situations where they could be present like with the Tigress, the irl situation regarding the tigers in South Africa is that their keepers interact with them as little as possible as they are wild tigers destined to be released back into the wilds of China. Also, I think our lion's philosophical beliefs aren't as obvious to the naked eye as large colonies of cats having a monthly ritual under the moon. lol

It could be argued that all the animals have their own societies going on, yep. Africa is a webcomic by ARVEN92 that explores this kind of thing. We're just personally not going in that direction because it's not important to the plot and it's also too much to develop societies for every single critter out there. lol

All of the above? The territory is slightly more dangerous than the Golden Grove due to it being based around an abandoned mine, so there are shafts where cave-ins and falls can injure and potentially kill the inhabitants. With Diamond's parents (and Bronze) being unfortunate examples. Hence why Bronze and the Tunnel Guards are a thing, they guard the more dangerous parts and help guide lions through them so they don't get hurt. On the other hand, disabled Travellers know the place is pro-Traveller so they will certainly settle there too. And you're good, I like an excuse to write an essay! Hope these answers clear some things up. c: - RJ

it's funny because it's so presumptuous to assume that she wants her fans to know that she wants to get her ex (who dumped her) back even with the possibility that she may be rejected by (and she wouldn't mind being rejected after publicly "confessing" her feelings) and even though she could just send him a DM or try to reconnect through a friend... jack is still friends with the rest of the band and she knows other people in matty's circle of friends. because what would guarantee that he would understand the messages sent through surprise songs? he may not even be aware of her song choices (he most likely isn't; he isn't a swiftie watching every live) and even if he was, he might think it's just coincidence or that she's just singing songs? lol and she missed the opportunity to do her tricks right after the engagement announcement which was when the media would probably make a fuss if she sang some matty/engagement coded mashup

not to mention that their fantasies are about taylor being pathetic af because why is she still waiting for her ex who is about to get married and dumped her... and obsessing over him all the time 😆 i just know they read degrading y/n fanfics and imagine themselves in taylor's place. like even if i was a shipper and though she was this pathetic and was doing what they're saying as a swiftie i would just pretend that she is NOT; like girls if you think this is true just bury this for her dignity

literally can we please stop assuming she’s the most pathetic person ever. Because trying to get your engaged ex back via surprise song performances would be very pathetic and not a very solid plan. Like at all. Especially given she also has a (serious) boyfriend. Like I don’t think I’d understand that message from my ex if I were Matty and I think if I did, given I was engaged and all, I’d be like “what a weird freak” and be glad I ghosted. So like 💀🤷🏻‍♀️

[lxvvie]

There appears to be an emotional distance between him and Ashley a bit even if he's touchy af with her but i think that's just one of Leon's love languages or he's touch starved lol

I think remake really emphasised on how these characters feel through these highly stressful situations and when you look at Ashley for example, forming an attachment and crush in that situation is not ooc but i think Leon knows what's going on he just didn't wanna be presumptuous or hurt her feelings. His life isn't that of where she'd be safe if they were together me thinks

also sorry, i know this isn't the kind of asks you're getting about characters but i just wanted to talk about this game a bit i suppose. I love Leon <3

I think the realism of it all is what makes the remake successful.

But no worries, I get asks that run the gamut of variety so this isn't out of the way at all.

[campgender]

Yes! Just! Like oh good lord, jesus, yes! Ik u havent even had time 2 respond 2 the rest of my ask (understandable, I am Also nothin if not long winded), & here Im already adding more 2 the pile, but! Ok I didnt wanna like, b 2 presumptuous abt exactly Y it felt like we’re parallel (waves! Hi!) but I also totally was thinkin abt stuff like ‘Im subby af & I think its 4 sure A Factor cuz idk abt Mac but I get the feeling ze is decidedly Less So’ & then u said high femmedom & it was like yes! 1/4

Hello! (Sidenote, ace/stone/sub/bottom combo means I took a Comically long time 2 figure out that those 1st 2 traits werent just extensions of the 2nd 2 lol) Stone resonance, I love that, omigosh. & I think thats exactly where the parallel gets so interesting, w/ the allergy friendly cake (ur talking 2 a fellow ‘I cant eat anything’ celiac here), cuz that ‘Asking 2 much’,

4 me its like, I feel like Im still v much reeling & relishing in the freedom/fear mix of like, submissive acts ofservice r still Acts Of Service & u can b uncomfy w/ them, or even just U Can B Uncomfy W/ Shit, Period, like w/o the need 2 ‘Make up 4 it’, so the idea of sum1 getting off on those boundaries is like, not Bad, but it feels like it kinda undercuts these still v new & healing ideas 4 me, ykno? Like I need it 2 b ok even when no 1 is conveniently in2 it.

& ofc this is me talking on a personal level, like I absolutely Get wanting ppl 2 b in2 it & I love that 4 u, omg. <3 Also that last paragraph, holy shit, I want that, like, on a shirt or embroidered on smth, omg. If this is a disease I sure hope its sexually transmitted, I mean goddamn! Hopefully Im not monopolizing ur inbox lol, but u continue 2 b a poet & a delight. <3 -Baby

omg thank youuu this was, as always, lovely to receive & truly so so validating. that’s the first time anyone has said i have dom vibes & it genuinely makes me tear up 🥺💓💓 also omg stone celiac solidarity!!! <33 that’s so exciting & truly makes me feel like someone out there Gets It

i absolutely feel & affirm smashing the perceived need to “make up for” something to smithereens, that makes a ton of sense & definitely resonates with feelings / needs from a given sexual interaction that i kinda fluctuate in & out of these days. i’m proud of you for doing your best to honor yourself & your boundaries & wish you so much love on this journey!!

& tyyy omg, you’re a delight & i appreciate hearing your thoughts & experiences so much!! also thrilled you appreciated my high femmedom verbiage lol, a fun mac fact is my favorite porn genre in my early 20s was vids that involved a woman getting a guy off without touching him, particularly cbt & getting off on her shoe. & now i’m looking back at that like babe u were sooo oblivious oh my god

like so much of my sexual journey rn is looking at my past self & zyr desires & being like “guess what, you can just do that.” it’s a process that’s baffling + frustrating + deeply pleasurable, & i’m interested to see what other connections remain for me to make. i’ve been keeping a journal of sorts to try to trace these themes with the hope of doing more of what i enjoy in my life

a different thought i’ve been turning over lately & wanted to share with you is how my particular experience of stone + domming + disability troubles the concept of what it means to top someone. like, guys have told me how to fuck myself & i’ve told people how to fuck themselves, & the former were tops or vers who considered that an act of topping me whereas i’m high femme, & the only difference is they wanted it to be their cock rather than my toy whereas i wouldn’t want anything different if i was with someone in person.

so it’s like, is the fantasy what constructs this act differently? the omnipresence of my boundaries? i don’t think there’s a single answer, it’s just fascinating. obv some people don’t consider virtual sex acts to be fucking at all, which i love how my disability + stone + denial challenges bc again, i can fuck someone without touching them in person, too lol

as always thank you for so much food for thought + sense of community!! hope ur doing well, all the best to you 💓💓

Luca started to lead without thinking, Kaito was flustered af the entire time. Later, Luca apologised for being presumptuous and suggested Kaito could lead in the next dance only for Kaito to blush even harder and mumble that he doesn't really know how to dance...

(Luca for sure offered to give him private lessons in their room)

anyways. do you guys think luca and kaito danced together at the frostheim ball
