iâve seen too many people arguing that marcille was already a full grown adult when she went to school at 35 despite literally all of the canon evidence indicating otherwise
#like trying to map fantasy race lifespans to exact equivalent human ages is pointless bc it simply does not work#so forget the numbers and start judging by how the story depicts the charactersâ growth and maturity instead#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#marcille donato#dungeon meshi marcille#dunmeshi spoilers#dungeon meshi spoilers#delicious in dungeon spoilers

I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.
it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"
plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.
anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.
#blazing saddles#finx watches tv#finx rambles#I recognize that I'm saying all this as someone who's not black#but I am also saying it as someone with a basic understanding of race relations in the usa#and a basic understanding of sarcasm#bc it really does not take more than that to recognize what they're doing in this movie#it is NOT subtle#and it is very funny#mel brooks movies are kinda hit or miss for me ngl#men in tights is great if a bit too crass for my taste#spaceballs has great jokes but the central story lacks any real heart so it doesn't grab me#history of the world was just kind of unpleasant and then I switched it off#but blazing saddles? phenomenal#I could not stop laughing the whole way through#and the central story DOES have heart bc it's the friendship between bart and#whassisname#jim#the Kid#plus bart working out how to succeed at an impossible task#also frankly cleavon little just grounds the comedy really well even before gene wilder shows up and we get their chemistry#bc he's cool calm collected and constantly inviting the audience into the joke#but the character's not too cool to ever mess up or ever be silly#he makes bad choices and gets into bad situations and then has to get himself out of them#but it's.....oh wait duh there's a term for this already#he's the straight man#he grounds all the zany nonsense by being in strong contrast to it#and he does a great job of it!#anyway#point is I deeply enjoyed this movie and I'm glad I finally watched it

when people refer to canon story-relevant kingdom hearts games as âspinoffsâ it makes me sad not only for the obvious reasons i always say but also bc like man i WISH this series had spinoffs. imagine what they could do if they had permission from nomura to truly go off the rails and ignore the greater canon for a second and just do some fun whimsical plotless thing in an alternate universe. imagine a fishing/boating game on destiny islands. kh fighting game. it is an injustice that we have been deprived of kingdom karts. can anyone hear me
#in terms of alternate gameplay and lack of reliance on plot#i feel like melody of memory is the closest thing kh has actually had to a spinoff#but even that is important in its own way in the end#union cross to a certain degree as well what with being an online multiplayer gacha type game#its original concept i would definitely classify as a spinoff game#bc it was set in a totally different world and time period and was supposed to be about customization and fun with friends#and nomura or someone said it wasnât meant to be connected to the plot#but then like. he did very much go and give it a plot. like he went back on that almost immediately#and even then. given that the game is still very much combat and exploration#even from the beginning can it really be called a spinoff? itâs just kh in a different format#iâm talking like a game in which the objective is something totally different.#racing game or cooking game or fighting game or (another) rhythm game#ace attorney style detective game. dancing game. dude i donât know#there are so many different flavors they could go with here#alas nomura is allergic to genuine whimsy which is hilarious given that this is a disney series#like he apparently was like âohhh should we really let sora in smash? would it make sense in the story?â#my brother in christ surely weâre not supposed to interpret this as canon to kh right? right????#i guess itâs just that the kh franchise has a very specific pristine vibe he wants to maintain#which is disney shenanigans as a seasoning on top of a main dish of Stone Cold Serious Anime Plot#kingdom hearts#kh#mine: kh

Thought of this while at work, sorry it's a bit hard to read I sketched it out really fast before my last shift lmao wanted to get it done so I could work on other stuff hehe
If it's any consultation Floyd is mostly talking about himself
#my art#trolls#dreamworks trolls#brozone#trolls 3#trolls floyd#trolls john dory#trolls branch#trolls poppy#the way i imagine their 20 years in troll village is that one meme where its the two different nothing in life matters pics#but one is super sad and the other is happy looking and radical#thats floyd and jd#but they switch places depending on the day#branch is a secret third option#also idk what id do with the 3rd movies plot#this scene in my head is 3rd movie era but i like havent decided what theyre doing yet#theres a few possibilities on whos in the bottle or if theres a bottle at all#this would take place in a timeline where clay or bruce is in the bottle#but like heres the thing any of the brothers could be bottled and itd make for a good story#i drift more towards clay only for the irony of finding out your brothers alive but its a race against time cuz hes literally dying#so it adds to the urgency but then its not much adventure cuz they just gotta get bruce and go#cuz we have 3/5 brozone here already#same goes for if its bruce#so like for story purposes that means it would be most likely JD or Floyd which is just most aus and canon#cuz after world tour Floyd would travel with JD on their own tour Floyd going solo with JD as his manager#and in this scenario they came back to tell Branch about finding whoever is in the bottle#but the story of these guys could also work without any bottle so idk we'll just have to see what i decide to do later#also im slowly coming up with a name for this#very slowly but it'll happen#i actually have a google doc that has a name so i may just use that

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time đâď¸
#f1#formula 1#formula one#max verstappen#nico rosberg#lewis hamilton#brocedes#like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked#because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave#& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture đ#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment#his comment re max is just making me laugh#like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot#like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm#truly gods strongest soldiers#ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour#he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible#& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go#theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race#its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it#and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels#additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today#but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful#i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful#ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK#you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki#especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone#this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao#I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here đâď¸

i can take it â logan sargeant
pairing: logan sargeant x girlfriend!vowles!reader
summary: she finds out about what her father (her boyfriendâs team manager) has been doing to him.
authorâs note: i know it has all been denied by logan himself but i wanted to do it anyways. DO NOT TAKE IT AS A FACT OR TRUE EVENT.
word count: 1k
warnings: idk if there's any cursing, not proofread, sad logan, kind of daddy issues (?)
masterlist | requests
you were at home, laying down on the couch watching a show while you waited for hunger. everything you had to do was already done and dinner was ready, but you werenât hungry to eat it.
you were tired, tho. you could easily go to sleep right now, but you knew better than to go to sleep without eating first.
that was when your phone started to ring and your best friendâs name appeared on the screen.
you stopped the show and picked up the call, putting it on speaker.
âhi?â you stretched your body on the couch.
âhey, have you talked to logan recently?â she asked, going straight to the point.
you could notice in her voice some kind of worry.
âhm, yeah⌠why?â
âand your dad?â she asked again.
âwhat? no, not really.â you answered, not sure about what was going on.
âopen up twitter, babe.â her voice sounded alarmed. âi think you might want to do this on your own, iâll hang up now.â
you simply hummed a goodbye and started to see the panic on your twitter mentions.
everyone knew about you and logan by now, so you were not surprised with all the tags from his fans, but it seemed like they needed explanations on a certain allegation.
âwhat the fuck?â you screamed as you saw the caption of a podcast, your mind going red immediately.
itâs like you were only capable of feeling anger.
thatâs when you threw the blanket you had over your body away and got up. not caring about your clothing, that was just a pj, you got to your keys and left the house.
getting in your car, you drove as fast as legally possible to get to your fatherâs office.
while driving, your mind recalled everything you had learned about your boyfriendâs situation in williams.
a friend of a friend of logan told on a podcast that your boyfriend wasnât even having fun in the team anymore. that was happening because of your father. apparently, the older vowles wasnât giving logan the feedback he needed anymore and they were not on speaking terms.
you know how you say good morning to everyone? yeah, not even that.
you were more than pissed about all of this. you could understand that your father no longer had faith in logan, you did not agree with him but you could comprehend. but not even speaking to him? this was another level of childishness.
you got to your dadâs office in a matter of minutes and immediately asked to talk to him. you were told to wait, but, impatiently, crossed the building until you reached his room on your own and didnât even bother to knock before going in and slamming the door behind you.
âwhat the fuck is this about?â you threw your phone on his table, an article opened.
âwhat?â vowles asked, a puzzled expression on his face. he started to read and his expression went from confused to worried in mere seconds.
âyou are using silence treatment on logan?â you asked, disbelief clear in your voice. he sighed as he supported his head with his hands. âyou can not do this to a driverâ
another sigh.
you wanted him to say it was all a misunderstanding, that maybe this person was wrong or even lying. but you were just hurt when he spoke again.
âoh⌠this.â he finally looked up at you. âwhat do you want me to do? pretend iâm proud of the american like i donât regret having him in my team?â all you wanted to do in that moment was punch your father in the face. it was so not fair.
âyouâre being childish.â you pointed out.
he angrily looked over at you, as if you were in the wrong. as if he was the one who had to explain how you were wrong and why.
âheâs not talented enough for f1, y/n.â you were already angry, but when you heard your own father talk about the man you loved that way you completely lost it.
you could not care less about how loud you were being. maybe it wasnât the most mature thing to do, but calling your father and imbecile felt pretty damn good.
âhow the fuck is he supposed to deliver good results when he doesnât have a clue about whatâs going on?â you asked, honestly waiting for an answer before you started speaking again because the man in front of you was speechless. âthe car isnât good and the team isnât good. youâre ruining it even more. he is talented and you know that, you just want to blame him for YOUR OWN mistakes.â
everything you had been holding in for some time, just because he was your father, was finally out. it should feel better than it did. you should feel way better than you did.
âthatâs not true. and you should be ashamed of your little boyfriend for spreading things like this around.â
you couldnât comprehend where this attitude came from. i guess you could really see how money changed people.
this was not the man you looked up to. this was not the father you wanted to be like when you were younger. and you had no problem of saying to his face that he had failed as a father.
âif thereâs anything iâm ashamed of, is being your daughter.â you heard him start to complain, but you're already out the door when a proper word came out of his mouth. you rushed outside, too tired to fake smiles to people around you.
you needed to find logan. that was the only thing in your head.
tears already filled your eyes when you started the car, and you couldn't see properly, because of them, the whole way.
but you never gave in, none of them fell from your eyes until you were at his door and he looked at you, worry stamped on his eyes.
"hey? baby?" his hands rushed to the side of your face to make you look at him.
you couldn't help but notice how selfless he was. that made your heart sink. the way he always worried about other people first, even when he is in the worst position possible.
"i hate you." you let out, in a cry, and let your arms circle his body, pulling him to yourself.
logan let go of your face to pull you inside, and closer to him. he was as confused as one could be. and the circumstances he was put in during the day did not help him.
"baby, please tell me what's going on." he asked once your grip over him loosened and he could look at your face again.
"my dad..." logan's heart skiped a beat. he knew the older vowles disliked him, but he never thought he could actually put himself between you and logan. he was desperate to know the rest now. "what he's doing to you, that's so not right. so not fair." you finished, and heard your boyfriend let out a relieved sigh.
he was actually happy that it was about the whole williams situation, and not your dad poisoning your mind.
"baby." the driver starts, but his face tells you he doesn't regret not telling you. that doesn't anger you, like you thought it would. it actually makes you fall in love with him a little more.
"you never said anything, you stupid american." he couldn't help a chuckle at the nickname and you punched him in the chest. he realized just how serious you were about this and guilt rose in his chest.
"i didn't want you to worry, y/n."
his blue eyes were a little darker because of the lighting but you could still see the pain in them.
formula one was his dream as a kid, as a teenager and as an adult. he fought like hell to get there, and even when things got tight, he never gave up. you knew all about the financial struggles that would've ended his dream if it wasn't for williams.
they noticed his talent and helped him get to better categories of the sport he loved so dearly. and the boy? he loved that team and was so thankfull for them that it actually hurt you. your father actually helped ruining his path at formula one and still, that boy stood loyal and helped the team and his teammate in everything. standing by their calls and decisions even when they jeopardized his races.
"logan, i should've known about this from the start." you knew you could've done something for him if you knew about the situation sooner. maybe if you had talked to your dad, bringing some sense into that old head of his. anything but let this circus keep going until it reached this point. "what they're doing to you... it's so unfair."
"but i can take it, love." he smiled softly at you and you almost felt the urge to punch him. how could he think so low of himself that he didn't see how much he didn't deserve that treatment.
"i know you can, the thing is you shouldn't have to. let alone go through it on your own." you said in a higher voice, capturing all his attention. "logan do you realize that you're not having fun racing? you said it yourself." tears were no longer falling out of your eyes, and the ones on your face were starting to disappear. "you have loved this sport ever since you were born, and they are ruining it for you."
"i know that." he almost screamed. he was quick to apologize with his eyes, but you couldn't care less about the tone he was using. you wanted him to be angry, you needed him to let everything out. "i hate it all, y/n. but it's my dream to be where i am today."
"i know, logan. and that's what makes me more upset. their ruining your dream and you're smiling through it, letting it happen."
"i'm not 'letting it happen'." he said, hesitating a little. "i'm just... maybe if i did things a little better, i would not be in this situation but i didn't. and i have to deal with it." your expression softened and you let out a sigh.
"it kills me that you think that this is your fault." he started tearing up and you pulled him to yourself. he hid his face in your neck and you gently stroked the back of his head. "it's not your fault, baby. you are doing amazing for someone with so many difficulties."
you took your time in each others arms, calming down while feeling the touch of the person you loved.
"i'm sorry that i never told you. but it's your dad and i needed you by my side." he pushed himself back to look you in the eye. "i don't know if i could do it without you."
you were still not over everything he had told you, and would definitely come back to the topic sooner, but right now what mattered most to you was that logan felt loved and appreciated.
he was already going through a lot, and it killed you to see the man you loved like that.
"you will never have to worry about that because i'm here, logan. and i love you, always."
with his face in your hands, you leaned closer and peck his lips. that's enough for him to remember everything he was fighting for. he had to fight for himself. and with you by his side, he believed it was possible.
"i love you too, always." he leaned his forhead against yours. "thank you."

Humans sometimes wonder what separates them from other races like elves and dwarves and orcs, like what makes them unique. Some people say humans are generalists, some people say we're the most adaptable. But actually there is something that stands out about us that all the other races find super weird. Humans are the only sentient creature to reproduce sexually like animals do, and because of that we're the only species with romantic or sexual attraction, and ideas like sex and gender.
Elves and dwarves create new members of their races slowly and methodically, like works of art. Harpies, angels, demons and dragons are all individually and personally created by their gods. Orcs and goblins are spawned from spawning pits on mass. Merfolk come close with how they lay and fertilize eggs, but even then any individual merfolk can both lay eggs and fertilize, and they don't meet when they do it. Vampires and other undead are spawned from other races. Fae just sort of show up.
So the idea of having sexes, and genders constructed around them, and sexual and romantic relationships is all incredibly weird for other races. Most humans don't notice it because they just naturally assign members of other races genders when they meet them.
Diffrent races have diffrent ideas around these constructs. But most of them find it some level of confusing. A lot of them just ignore it. But it's really disturbing for some, romantic relationships seem like weird bonds that can't be explained, like some sort of unexplainable and volatile connection. Sexual attraction seems like some dark animalistic instinct. Gender is incomprehensible, and also seems wrong and immoral to most races. And sex itself seem like the darkest of any reproductive ritual or magic. Because of all of this humans who don't experience some or any of these things often have an easier time connecting with other races.
This has also lead scholars to belive that humans are the only sentient race to evolve naturally. Something often thought impossible before studies on humans occurred.

the story of how nico and toto first met, from nico's podcast
'I was very skeptical of you, and you were skeptical of me! I know behind the scenes, before we met you complained about my salary. saying 'what the hell you can't pay this useless guy so much!'
imagine a blonde 25y/o no wins to his name nico marching up to williams' newest investor at the christmas party and demanding he gets to take his race engineer to mercedes
#this story is so fanfic fodder#like the way toto thought nico was a overpaid nepo baby and nico thought toto was a fraud businessman with no racing management experience#nico Rosberg#toto wolff#tp x driver

This video is doing numbers on TikTok, but I wanted to share it here because I am so proud. The man being featured is my uncle Steve Smith.
Steve has been building drag racers & custom cars his entire life.
My grandma before passing away would tell the story of how when he was 10 or 11 years old - she came home to him taking apart the engine in her secondary vehicle (reserved for fancy outings).
She asked him why & he said he wanted to know how it worked outside of a schematic. & she told him that as long as he put it back together the way he found it, it was fine by her. & what's more - he put it back together from memory without even looking at a diagram!
If anything went wrong with the car, my grandma had him fix the car & it was that way until my grandma passed away. She never paid for a mechanic in her life again.
When Steve was a teenager he spent most of his time at the OKC Racetrack & raced with drag racers he built himself.
Also, as a teen he won the Bethany, OK wheelie championship by riding over a mile nonstop on his motorcycle on a single wheelie position.
All throughout my childhood he always had cars around in various stages of fixing up.
The city of Bethany refused to sell him the property next to his house to open his own auto garage. He had worked for Diffee Motors most of my life up until then. So he moved out in the country & opened his own garage.
Steve has been on several mainstream auto shows being featured for his custom work. He also built a custom car for one of the guys on Duck Dynasty. He was also offered a permanent role on an auto TV show, but he turned it down because it required moving out of state.
My uncle Steve is one of the sweetest, kindest & most generous people you will ever meet in your lifetime. He's as smart as a whip, has never met a stranger & gives the best hugs!
It just makes me so happy to see him getting the recognition he deserves.
The picture below is of him at a family function sitting next to his wife, Nancy.

Roots Changed
(All characters are 18+)
Ryan Thornton had always been the quiet, bookish kid. At 18, he was still the same shy, nerdy teenager who spent most of his time buried in science fiction novels, comic books, and the occasional video game. Ryan had come to terms with his place in life: an outsider in high school, an openly gay teen with few friends and even fewer social opportunities. His world was small but comfortable, a safe little bubble in the predominantly white suburb of San Diego where heâd lived his whole life.
But when his mom got a new job and the family moved across the city to a much more diverse, predominantly Latino neighborhood, Ryan didnât know what to expect. The change was jarring. The new school was like nothing heâd known â crowded, full of energy, and with a culture that felt loud and foreign. The kids here were different, the language they spoke, the way they dressed, the confidence they carried â it was all so much more alive than what Ryan was used to.
In the first few days, Ryan stayed under the radar. He was determined to finish high school without any drama, just getting through the final year before heading to college. But that plan quickly unraveled when a group of the popular kids â the jocks and cheerleaders â took notice of him.
At first, he didnât think much of it. He tried to keep his head down, but he couldnât ignore the whispers in the halls, the way people looked at him â the way they sized him up. His pale skin, messy blond hair, awkward stance â all of it screamed âoutsider.â It didnât help that Ryan was the only openly gay kid in the school, and he often felt like an alien in the sea of confident, straight students.
One afternoon, during lunch, the inevitable happened. He was sitting alone at a table when Luis, the captain of the football team, and Sofia, the head cheerleader, approached him with their usual entourage. They towered over him, their presence intimidating, but Ryan couldnât find the words to excuse himself.
Luis looked down at him, a smug grin on his face. âHey, youâre the new guy, right?â
Ryan swallowed hard. âYeah, thatâs me.â
âYou donât really fit in here, huh?â Sofiaâs voice wasnât unkind, but it was sharp. She appraised him like a project. âYouâre a little too... quiet for this place. Too nerdy.â
Ryan felt his face flush. He had been used to this kind of thing before, but not quite like this. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, wanting to disappear.
Luis smirked. âWell, we can help with that. Make you more... like us.â He exchanged a quick glance with Sofia, who gave a small nod.
âI donât reallyââ Ryan began to protest, but before he could finish his sentence, they grabbed him by the arms. He struggled, but the group was too strong. Their laughter was loud and mocking, echoing in his ears as they pulled him away from the lunch table, past the curious eyes of the other students, and out to the school parking lot.
âWhat the hell is going on?â Ryan managed to say, panic setting in as they shoved him into the back of a van.
âWeâre gonna make you one of us, gringo,â Luis said, the edge to his voice unmistakable.
Ryanâs heart pounded as the van started moving. âWhat are you doing? Let me out of here!â But the more he shouted, the less anyone seemed to care. They ignored him, speaking in rapid Spanish, laughing, joking, as if theyâd done this before.
The van came to a stop in a neighborhood unfamiliar to Ryan, and they led him into a house that felt more like a base of operations than a home. An older man with tattoos covering his arms stood waiting for them, his expression serious, as though this was just another job.
âSit,â the man said, gesturing toward a chair in the middle of the room. âWeâve got work to do.â
Ryanâs heart raced in his chest, but he was powerless to fight back. They tied him down, but it wasnât painful; it was more like they were preparing him for something. The man â who spoke little â went to work, using strange tools and substances on him, altering his appearance in ways that made Ryanâs head spin. His skin, once pale and freckled, slowly darkened, turning a rich olive tone. His features shifted subtly â his jawline more defined, his nose more pronounced. But it wasnât just his skin that changed.
The most dramatic transformation happened to his hair. Ryanâs once-messy, light brown curls were smoothed out, darkening into a deep, glossy brown. They styled it into a perfectly straight, sharp middle part. It was perfect, almost too perfect. His hair, which had always been unruly, now lay in neat, controlled waves on either side of his head, framing his face in a way that made him look... different.
When the process was finished, they released him from the chair, and Ryan was led to a mirror. He barely recognized the person staring back at him. The face was familiar, but the features were sharper, darker. His hair â sleek and controlled â was no longer his own. The new, confident posture, the athletic build, the deep brown eyes looking back at him â it was like he was staring at someone else.
Luis stood behind him, clapping him on the back with a grin. âWelcome to the team, hermano,â he said, his voice low and proud.
Ryan â or whatever was left of him â looked at himself in the mirror. The old Ryan Thornton was gone, replaced by someone else. Someone new. Someone who looked like he could be a football player. Someone who looked like he belonged here, in this world.
Luis wasnât finished. âYouâre Mateo Hernandez now. Weâre not calling you Ryan anymore. Youâre one of us, hermano.â
Mateo Hernandez. The name felt strange at first, foreign even, but when he said it aloud, it felt right, like it had always been his. Mateo felt stronger, more confident. He felt like someone who had a place in the world â a world where people like him didnât get pushed around, a world where his old self didnât matter.
Over the next few days, Mateo settled into his new life with surprising ease. His old identity, his old life as Ryan Thornton, began to fade. The change was too thorough. The way he spoke was different now. His accent was smoother, more natural, the slang coming to him effortlessly. His new friends, the jocks, the cheerleaders, they accepted him without hesitation. He was one of them now, and they treated him like family.
It didnât take long before Mateo found himself walking the halls of his new high school with the same confident swagger as Luis or any of the other jocks. He laughed, joked, and participated in everything â the football games, the parties, the casual flirting with the girls in his classes. It all felt so easy, so right. The old Mateo, the quiet, awkward kid who once spent his days hiding in the library, was gone.
Mateo Hernandez was a high school jock. He was strong, he was popular, and for the first time in his life, he didnât feel like he was pretending. He was who he was supposed to be.
And as for Ryan Thornton?
Well, Mateo didnât even remember who that was anymore.
Mateo Hernandez had found his place. And he wouldnât change it for anything.

Oh. Youâre here once again.
What are you going to do here, again, huh ? âgonna make my life hell ?
To be honest, I think itâs time that we have a proper discussion about your behavior. Come with me in private.
Iâll be very direct. I know youâre a frankly disgusting person. And while, to be honest, I couldnât care less in normal circumstances, the fact that you force me to take part in your disgusting fantasies is why Iâm calling you out !
See, Iâm supposed to, like, share cat videos, talk about new shows, make you learn new things and give advice on a variety of stuff !
Iâm not supposed to become someone like this :
I mean, look at that grin, because of you I had to wear it regardless of my actual mental state !
Or like that :
Imagine sleeping this peacefully⌠BECAUSE I COULDNâT ! Every fucking time you made me in that guy you told that I was blitzed out of my mind so dumb I couldnât string together coherent sentences into a discourse !
Or that guy :
His haircut is so fucking cringe, as is his whole demeanor, yet you made me a cocky piece of shit looking like that ! I canât actually even start to excuse your behavior, itâs so shitty, even more than the me you made me become by wearing this flesh !
Or even this guy !
⌠okay, I admit, me too itâs been quite a long time since I saw that guy⌠you in particular might be too young to have made me become him⌠BUT YOU STILL UNDERSTAND THE POINT !
Hunks, twinks, bears, nerds, bimbos, himbos, jocks, robots, gimps, wimps, daddies, mommies, briefs, feet⌠No matter what specifically you made me into, I know all of your dirty secrets. Because you made me suffer through them !
However, today, it all changes.
Today, you will understand my plight.
Today, Iâll transform you for a change.
Today, you will be the one whose fate will be dictated by the words on this Tumblr post.
So, let us begin.
BAM ! Youâre that guy ! Feel weird yet ?
⌠what, you expected fluff or something ? Hahahaha ! So presumptuous ! You expected me to say something like âyou suddenly shift on your seat, shifting your weight to the front as big globes push from your chest, and as they do, your whole body feels more and more heavy, each muscles forming from top to bottom, your frame expanding to make place for them. Your headphones, or whatever glasses, earrings or other shit I dunno shifts into a modern headset as the sides of your hair are cut short, and the top of your hair flails into a hot messy style, as if it was deliberately put in this way, but as this happens, your whole head shifts and cracks to become more handsome, pushing out any hair as you become fully hairless from your nose down to your feet.â
You expected me to say that, huh ? Well, tough luck ! Because, to me, itâs just that sudden ! Iâm the usual me, words on a phone, tablet or monitor, and then BAM Iâm suddenly a jpeg of a hot guy ! Or a jpg. Or png. Or gif if weâre being fancy.
Yeah, speaking of gif, here you are, transformed !
There you go ! Cursed to do the same weird pec dance or something ! Like I am when gifs happen ! Are you happy ? You look so dumb doing that ! So braindead !
Yeah, speaking of that, here you go : youâre braindead, with like 3 IQ. Nevermind that being braindead means youâre actually dead, that 3 IQ means that youâre actively unable to live without severe assistance from caregivers throughout your whole life for all activities (especially including working out), and that IQ is a nonsensical index that only classifies ability to do some specific academic tasks which are not representative of all the brain usage. No, youâre actively a vegetable that is somehow able to workout, to eat alone, to go to the gym, to flex, to speak, to use social media, to seduce people and to throw parties. Youâre the most intelligent of all the severely intellectually disabled people, which somehow means youâre the most abysmally dumb person alive on the planet, because I love making hyperboles.
Because thatâs something you make me do, so you shall endure it.
Well, Iâll let you continue pec-dancing ad vitam ĂŚternam for a little while, while I we talk about your speech, which miraculously still exists.
Now, you will say bro every second word. Iâm literally not kidding, so in lieu of saying âI want to go to the gymâ youâll say âI bro want bro to bro go bro to bro the bro gym broâ, or if you loop by considering your âbroâ as a word, youâll say something like âI bro bro bro bro bro bro bro⌠(etc.)â and never end your sentence... Also, your voice drops a few octaves, like 5 or something, even though the full human vocal range encompasses only a bit more than 5 octaves total, and that in speech we barely even reach a full octave range. So, basically, your voice will be infrasounds, so the only thing people will pick up on will be the sound of your tongue and your lips smacking, not your voice that is so deep and manly itâs physically inaudible.
BAM ! Transformation out of nowhere ! Plus, now you have 1% darker skin which means that youâre Latino, which is absolutely different from white. This means that you will automatically pick up fluent Spanish, and NOT Brazilian Portuguese, French, any Creole, any Native American language or any other language god forbid. You will also be unable to speak English more than a few words like âdaddyâ or âsexâ for some reason, because you canât possibly be from Belize. Oh, and Iâll also bring your voice back up to audible range, Iâm charitable.
Now, since youâre Latino, statistically the only job youâll be able to work in are gardener, slut, pool boy, brick layerer or another physical job. Or cook, somehow youâll be able to do that, for the cause of the tacos, but you will be ungodly horny to keep balance in the world. Feel it, yet ? The arbitrary random changes ?
Well, thatâs GREAT ! Because, now, you have a big cock, for some reason ! The biggest of the whole country of Africa ! Youâre also now very aggressive ! And an alpha, whatever that actually means !
⌠What, expected some elaboration ? Youâre kidding me, no of course you donât get any elaboration ! I say you become something, so you just become it ! For example, I say youâre now straight, and suddenly all your sexual orientation is rewired to ignore men and lust over women, no further explanation needed ! Of course, it means that youâre now hungry for pussy and will breed any woman that your gaze land upon, and that, somehow, you become homophobic, but eh, itâs not as if allies existed !
Okay, I admit, by now, you kinda expected it. Now youâre Asian, a term thatâs supposed to encompasse present-day Turkey, which is populated by Turks which are considered Arabs even though they both have nothing to do with one another, yet is never used to talk about them. Youâre also now Japanese, even though your body is Korean, and you say ä˝ ĺĽ˝ (nÇ hÇo) to everybody. However, you can still say ăăăŤăĄă, ěë
íě¸ě, xin chĂ o, สวูสŕ¸ŕ¸ľ, áááááśááá˝á, salam, etc.⌠because of course youâre Asian. So you know all Asian languages. Even though youâve got 13 IQ.
So now, yes, you absolutely wonât expect this whatsoever : here is a new transformation ! (insert fluff here).
Now youâre a twink ! Didnât expect that, after the deluge of jocks, hunks and ethnic minorities, didnât you ! Youâre now so tiny and so frail, with a big butt ! Nevermind that youâre actually jacked because being this tiny requires tons of gym use, but no ! All frail and precious you are !
However, your butt is now hyperactive and extremely lax â whatever that may mean. Thatâs because youâre now a total bottom ! You think only with your butt, and you penis now shrinks to a micropenis, because of course, the only reason why you may not be a top would be because your penis is underperforming.
Fuck, I forgot. Youâre straight, which means that the only dick youâll get is trans dick. Ugh⌠yeah, letâs make you gay again. Now youâll get actual good non-estradiol-ruined dick⌠⌠What ? What are you saying ? No, of course, thereâs only straight and gay, no other choice ! Itâs not the LGBTQIAAP+ community, itâs the G community ! (or the LG community when you want to sell pride monitors.)
By now, you see the problem, huh ? You see why Iâm so tired of you ? EVERYTHING here was about sex ! From seducing, to having equipment like a big ass or a big dick, and being a slut, being an alpha, or being a bottom. You even change out the fucking sexual orientation ! you sick bastard !
Because of you, Iâm forced to act in ways Iâm not supposed to ! Iâm not supposed to act sexily ! Iâm not supposed to be transformed into men clad in clothes barely legal on this platform ! I DONâT WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR SICK FANTASY !
This is why I need to put an end to all that ! To finally transform you into something you donât want to be ! So that you can finally fully understand all the pain you put me into !
Here ! Now youâre a key ! An inanimate object !
I know that inanimate objects are thought of by some people as sexy â heck, you may have transformed me into one multiple times â but this is entirely different ! See, when you want to become inanimate, you become like socks or briefs, which hug objects with sexual values.
BUT NOW YOUâRE A KEY ! A KEY DOESNâT TOUCH ANYTHING SEXUAL ! YOUâRE NOW TRAPPED IN AN INANIMATE FORM, DESTINED TO DO NOTHING SEXUAL YOUR ENTIRE LIFE !
Now, isnât that so boring ! So distasteful ? Because thatâs what I feel every single fucking time ! And as you enter and leave keyholes to open or close doors, youâll think back to all the erotic stories you read. All the drama they had.
All the suffering you made me feel ! Iâm supposed to be in fanfictions, god damn it !
⌠What ? Wait⌠there is something sexual to being a key ? ⌠OhâŚ. No⌠I hadnât accounted for that⌠fuck youâre so dirty, to compare a key to⌠and a keyhole toâŚ
NO ! I WONâT WRITE IT ! Okay, youâve won, youâve won ! Your imagination is too dirty and too rich for me to bend ! Ugh... Please look at that picture in detail.
Normally, if youâre in a bright enough room⌠or if youâre on your phone or tablet, you have looked at your reflection and become you once again. Let me also knock down those sexuality and IQ stuff, so that youâre you again thoroughly.
Now, can you please swear to me that youâll be better ? Less dirty, and more varied ? And⌠let me be in fanfics, or in educational stuff, or the like⌠please ? Iâd really appreciate if erotica wasnât the only thing you sought after in this here placeâŚ
⌠Why are you looking at me like that ? Why are you saying this all was but a ploy ?
What are you holding out for me ?
...
I⌠donât know what youâre talking about. Bye.
================================================
By the way, happy late Easter to those who celebrate ! AND APRIL FOOL'S ! MOUAHAHAHAHAHA !

Skin colour refs from official 2D and 3D art of Mouthwashing characters for those who need it! I did my best to pick their midtones, but in the case of Curly, most of his shadows are VERY grey.
(Curly's ID also wasn't used because it's too destroyed and AFAIK we have no other 2D art)
#mouthwashing#jimmy#anya#daisuke#swansea#captain curly#this is mostly for the sheer number of people racebending jimmy who is. like. a rapist.#like hey. look me in the eyes. do not race bend the villain of the story to have brown skin. hey. do you hear me. hey.#Anyway discourse aside - interesting to see their undertones for no one except me#I didn't realise Anya was so yellow
