👾 anon making a comeback!

what about 2min teaching another member who just got a gf how to fuck her properly? like, they have a toy or something for the other member to practice on while 2min demonstrates on reader?

i could imagine the other member thrusting into the toy wrongly and lee know just goes ‘nononono, like this’ and thrusts into reader for the nth time and overstims them.

while one of 2min is fucking reader, the other is trying to make reader stop being so loud and shoves their cock into readers mouth.

and to top it all off, since reader literally cannot stop convulsing theres a bit of collar play and 2min tugs on the collar when they need to and theyre unphased but reader is out here drooling all over themselves

im nasty, what can i say? 👾👾👾

oh my fucking god?? U ARE NASTY BUT THANK U FOR THIS

this is 1k words LMFAO oopsie..

something about them making the other member use a toy instead of their own girlfriend is so.... humiliation kink at its finest

like them saying something along the lines of "if you can't fuck her properly, you can't get her at all" and its not even their girlfriend to make such bold commands?? ugh

i can picture this being hard/mean dom! jeongin's awakening

so lets picture this. virgin!innie who hasnt even seen a vagina until the first time you two got intimate. and even then, the few times you two have been intimate only included mutual masturbation

so i bring you!! closeted mean dom 2min who offers their help to their poor maknae!

he goes to them first, expressing his worries about not performing well enough for his girlfriend- and about how he doesn't want to embarrass himself by not being able to pleasure you properly!

so he gets 2 of his favorite hyungs in his room seated on either side of you. their hands are all over you, from showing jeongin how to finger you properly, and describing to him how to curve his fingers the way you like it.

and how do they know he's performing well enough? well that would be all thanks to the fleshlight they bought him :)

its clear so they can see through it, watching his fingers every move. and he has such long, pretty fingers, so it would be such a shame if they went to waste? "thank god we're teaching him this too, right y/nnie?"

they make you cum twice on their fingers, one time each man so they can give their own two advice and show off their techniques. so can they really blame you for subconciously fighting back when seungmin slides his cock inside of you?

not really... but that wont stop minho from forcing both of your wrists into one of his. it also wont stop seungmin from thrusting even harder into you, quickly getting distracted with your tight cunt and forgetting the whole goal of the situation

he basically uses you as his own personal fleshlight until you both cum, jeongin cumming around the same time. you and jeongin are barely given a break before minho is pouncing with an order for the maknae to "get to it"

minho's a lot bigger and fucks into you faster and harder than seungmin, rolling his hips roughly and teaching jeongin to do the same. he sometimes even compares it to certain dance moves from their choreos and will slow his own thrusts to watch closely and make sure the maknae is moving correctly

once he's sure the boy has learned, minho's so rough with it that your eyes feel permanently rolled to the back of your head, his tip constantly pummeling into your sensitive walls.

it gets to the point where you cant control yourself when your nails start to rake down his arm! >< its just "too much!"

it makes him mad and he slaps your hand away, not wanting marks, only to be made even more upset when you push your hand against his lower stomach with begs for him to give you a break

but he has no plans to stop, not even after you've came yet again. and who are you to give him orders right now??? so he whistles for seungmin to help, and youre absolutely stunned when a piece of leather slides around your neck and gets buckled by the puppy man himself

he tosses the end of the leash to minho and helps him flip you over, manhandling you onto your hands and knees

at this point, jeongins completely zoned out. he's not nearly as overstimulated as you, but as his 2nd orgasm builds and as he's forced to watch some of his closest friends pound his dear girlfriend int his mattress, he feels like he's floating on another planet

so what happens when you're finally let go by seungmin and minho? what do you think happens when they leave your apartment, after teaching jeongin about aftercare, and you're left alone, still sensitive with your oddly quiet boyfriend?

not sleeping. thats for sure :) you're lucky he loves you and doesn't want to push your body too far, yet. so he'll only fuck you to orgasm once, but he's gonna be like a new man reborn, hips fucking into you faster than either of the men did earlier.

they didnt teach him this, but it comes all too naturally when he shoves his fingers into your mouth and pushes down against your tongue

the drool that drips down his wrist is almost enough to make him laugh, but the little semblance of jealousy in his veins tells him to do something more

he uses the spit on his fingers to pinch and massage one of your nipples, all while the other set of fingers are tangles in your hair and holds you flat against him.

he's so deep and your body has been through so much the last few hours that your own orgasm takes you by surprised, your legs shaking aggressively as your body convulses as best as it can with his iron grip on your head

& his mouth is so filthy as he uses you as his fleshlight- telling you that youre a little slut for enjoying the other men using you freely while he was forced to watch. he tells you how hes gonna use every last thing he saw you enjoy against you, from the leash & collar to the way your body was so happy at their rough hands on your- HIS pretty pussy

once hes finished he essentially redoes everything they did earlier for aftercare, adding in his own "spice" by running you a hot shower and kissing every inch of your body as he helps you wash off

he definitely gets hard again, but he'll deal with it himself while you sleep.

maybe if youre lucky, he'll wake you up with that pretty cock all up in your tummy again <3

EWB!Rafe Cameron

ewb = enemies with benefits.

You hated his guts. He never cared for you one bit, he would throw you to the curb when if he had the chance. Yet somehow you ended up in his bed pretty much every night, Rafe didn't want to admit it but he hated you slightly less than before you started sleeping together, now your probably wondering how all of this even started well let me get into it.

You were both at the same house party that one of your mutual friends were hosting (I know, what a shock you share a friend) Everyone knew how much you both hated eachother so they did everything in their power to keep you away from him and vice versa. Ultimately, you both ran into each other while heading to the toilet. He walked in at the same time you did (two doors, it's an ensuite), and you started screaming at him to get out "I WAS IN HERE FIRST!" you yelled out.

He didn't listen, but what a surprise cause he never listened. You were both massively drunk, and you both just stopped and stared at each other, wobbling side to side slightly, and you both just started making out. You hopped yourself up with the help of Rafe and he practically ripped your jeans and underwear off and pulled down his jeans till they reached his knees and Rafe spat down on his cock and just started fucking you while you were both in your drunken state.

Surprisingly, even in his drunken state, he still managed to hit all the right spots. In the moment where he is fucking destroying your hole while making out with your neck you didn't really hate him, you still felt a strong sense of annoyance but not hate. Your eyes rolled back into your head as he continue to just fuck you rougher and rougher his tongue sliding up your neck past your chin and into your mouth. Your eyes widen in surprise, and his tongue enters your mouth, but you ain't complaining.

He at least had the good idea to pull out. He shot his load all over your thigh as you also shot your load at the same time feeling his cock slip out of your hole, after a moment of Rafe resting his face against your neck after finishing he clears his throat and silently cleans both of you up before zipping up his jeans and leaving the bathroom. Ever since that drunken night Rafe did try to avoid you till he couldn't anymore and he showed up at your door late at night, once you opened the door he barged in and started kissing you all over and then you were getting fucked on your stairs.

This happened pretty much every day, sometimes twice a day. You still hated eachothers guts but he loved your hole and you loved his cock, but you both won't ever admit that maybe you don't hate eachother...you just "dislike" eachother.

I remember hearing that Dana was inspired by True Crime, amongst other things and people IRL, when writing Belos. And it seems that contrary to the notoriety of True Crime fans, she actually understood the assignment.

Because she opted to demystify the serial killer as this dark, unusual psychology that operates outside of societal borders and rules, disturbed by some secret reason, and instead literally pull off the mask to reveal he’s just some white manchild who hates women and minorities to a violent degree, because he feels threatened by them and their ability to say No in his entitlement. There’s nothing special or unique about his motives.

He’s no exception to the status quo, he is it unmasked of the veneer of civility, he’s the lynch mob and the cop (all of whom inherit the violence of white supremacy and colonialism) and fittingly a lot of serial killers were clocked by women and PoC as dangerous, but cops —largely white men— dismissed their claims because look at this dude, he seems like an upstanding citizen! And that’s really how he got away.

And because his victims were people the system was less likely to believe because they both operated on the same biases, you see why a lot of cops who commit brutality are drawn to an institution where they’re given violent power over brown and/or queer communities who are labeled as ‘suspicious’, because they enjoy easy targets they know the system doesn’t care about, and are enraged by body cams and accountability.

It doesn’t matter if they’re intentionally bigoted, their support of an inherently bigoted institution makes them the same; Internalized biases and “I don’t see race” and all that. You see how Philip wanted to be a witch hunter —the prototypical cop who is not exclusively violent towards women but still has a clear slant— or colonial savior so bad, because his violence could be legitimized by the authority of the state.

He leans into it hardcore when he feels threatened by the presence of an outside girl who challenges the Christian narrative of Gravesfield, to the point of violence; It’s a position that validates killing anyone who doesn’t agree with him in general, hence Caleb and the Grimwalkers, but of course his and society’s biases slant towards women and PoC. And while it ultimately doesn’t matter whether he’s intentionally racist/misogynistic, it’s worth addressing that he very much does have the intention due to his blatant Conservative backdrop.

And seeing how charming Philip is and the portrayal of him as a little kid playing games in his youth, a perception Caleb might’ve still had which led to his death, I can see the direct line to families who find out their sons are school shooters and are in disbelief because he was such a nice kid! While ignoring the obvious Red Flags because white men are allowed to express these without being immediately scrutinized by the community, by having it brushed off. On some level cops don’t suspect him because he’s the same type of guy as them.

Part of that denial comes from the fact that he’s not an “unfeeling sociopath” who’s wired differently. Philip can feel empathy and guilt like anyone else, but he’s still a hateful prick and these aren’t mutually exclusive; Not when people can be perfectly selective about who they extend these feelings towards, or even do things in spite of these feelings, because other ones —anger and pride and hatred— exist and they choose to prioritize those. There’s an assumption that empathy and guilt inherently make you a good person, but they don’t; That ultimately comes from what you do about it, not how you feel.

You could even say Dana and the other writers wrote him too well, because true to life, we have a similar issue but on a micro-scale via the abstraction of fiction regarding a very dedicated fan base who loves to romanticize him and his actions, attributing his issues to some secret trauma in childhood, a young man failed by society! While also scrubbing him of his racism and misogyny and reliance on the status quo, to make him ‘apolitical’ and you can see the same not just with fans but also in society.

Because society doesn’t want to acknowledge serial killers as just the truth behind their white sons and the system that absolved and encourages them, because that would require them to admit their guilt in how they’re structured. Rather, they’ll say these men reflect some dark truth inherent to humanity, and don’t exist within a certain sociopolitical framework.

And so he was a ‘loner’ whose problems can be pathologized via mental illness, his trauma can be traced back to a specific incident in his youth he just couldn’t get over. So you see how school shooters are made into victims, how serial killers are also made apolitical and even alien to distance them from the status quo.

And then you can lean into how unusual they are by writing characters like Dexter or Hannibal Lecter, you can not just defend the system but feed into it via the commodification of their violence as entertainment and consumption, and thus fuel the white supremacy train by letting their violence towards women and minorities be praised as something fascinating and interesting and conveniently clean of bigotry. This is the dichotomy of the hypothetical, romanticized Fantasy Serial Killer, and the banal IRL Serial Killer.

Thus we have the same cycle of white men’s violence being praised and validated by the system, and white men feeling entitled to this fame as a delusional fantasy. Because you’ve never heard of a black serial killer; Because black people are violent, that’s just the way they are, right? But if white men are violent, this is sensationalized as somehow unusual and fascinating and worth dedicating countless books and shows and movies towards. Obviously.

And even going back to witch hunters, sometimes I wonder about the constant consideration of, What if witches did exist? What if they were evil? Things like The VVitch or The Conjuring series, which have some framing of the Salem Witch Trials’ IRL violence towards women as legitimate in another universe, because of Satanism’s genuine predatory threat towards women, and how evil women sacrifice theirs or others’ God-given gift of a child, and now threaten another white Christian family.

And again there’s the the demystifying of the real life witch hunter too when we have a historical reenactment declare verbatim that IRL witch hunters were motivated by economics and other banal factors, not by any genuine belief in the dangers of demons; And even in a setting where the demons were real, they were not the predatory threat IRL witch hunters made them out to be, and so their very real biases and ulterior motives still apply in cumulative insincerity.

Hence, the Titan correcting Luz by explaining Belos as someone who only cares about being the hero in his own delusion; The fascist wet dream of a hidden invader here to corrupt even young white men, an outside monster to vanquish and whose destruction justifies the state, when in reality the monster IS the state, and before he was even presented as a witch (much less the human truth), his system’s destruction was called for.

Ultimately, a lot of True Crime and similar narratives are criticized for focusing more on this apparently inevitable mystique behind the perpetrators, who warrant far more attention than their victims. So when the villain is an example of True Crime, it’s worth noting how the show is so much more focused on the ‘weirdoes’ he targets, on women and/or PoC. The lives of Luz Noceda and her friends, them getting along and their psychologies, are just so much more important, and it really isn’t about that guy, who is informed as much as he needs to be.

But again, the True Crime fans dilemma; People genuinely salty at the show for not focusing on their favorite serial killer and his troubled backstory, his tragic motives and Puritan repression. The framing of his murders and motives isolated through the lens of his violence on undeserving white men, and not on the out-group he is specifically targeting and has committed much more violence on, esp if you look at the narrative’s actual framing of his impact on our protagonists, but also other victims who are witches or demons, and even his own self-professed motives; Hence, ‘Fratricide Georg’ as a joke depoliticized of his colonial violence, a violence that is not just adjacent to but fulfilling racism.

Because he hallucinated only those white men out of guilt, but that’s his biased perspective and priorities; And so you see how this is contrasted with a refusal to empathize with people like the Collector or Luz, who are put into the same situations as his white male victims via shared cinematography, yet are just as rejected. Luz is only put into this situation as convenient to Belos’ narrative, the closest replacement to a white male human he can get, but again if this girl of color says No, he tries to murder her and even does.

Yet again, people take genuine, personal insult at the creator for finding Belos to be her least favorite character to write, while ignoring that she still found him necessary to the story she was trying to tell; She just found the framing and focus should’ve been shifted to his actual victims’ deep and meaningful lives, how they matter. So people hate that S3 cares more about Luz Noceda’s relationship with her parents of color, as well as her female mentor and demonic brother, or her queer relationship with her girlfriend, etc.

And even when they get a bone of white boy Hunter, it’s still not enough; Fans inevitably gather themselves into an almost frenzied state of personal victimization, rallying into harassment of PoC who criticize their portrayal and discussion around their colonial serial killer fave, organizing dedicated trends and months to giving their white men the focus they ‘deserved’, because this is just White fandom in general.

Look at the entitlement campaigns regarding Ben Solo or Billy Hargroves deserving better, these young white men violent to women and minorities. It’s just the same thing but on a micro-scale, at least filtered via fictional characters. But Jesus you see how internalized biases bleed into everything. You’ve never heard of a black serial killer and fandom doesn’t fight for characters of color.

Answer me

Summary: it’s late, Rafe is bored and you’re not answering your phone- so he turns up at your house.

Warnings; cocky bsf!Rafe, masturbation, pervy Rafe, cum eating, fem oral, multiple orgasms, soft Rafe, mutual masturbation, reader had nip piercings.

Rafey doll you awake? 12.41am

Rafey doll cmon 12.43am

Rafey I’m coming over 12.56am

You don’t hear your phone pinging somewhere on your bed, and if you do, you choose to ignore it. You’re busy, busy with yourself, you think, as you push the dildo back into your hole.

The stretch burns but you gasp, allowing the feeling for what felt like the tenth time tonight. After spending the entire day with Rafe, you’d had enough of his smirks and touches to bring you here: wound up, full of sexual frustration.

Despite being your best friend, Rafe loved to wind you up an unbelievable amount. Places where nobody else would see, hands lingering a little to long as he helped you out of his truck, or fingers dancing along your thighs whenever he drove you anywhere.

His words got to you too- most of the time, like he knew exactly what to say to wind you up and have you squeezing your thighs a little more than usual.

But he was just that, just your best friend. Yes, you had the biggest crush on him forever and you wish he’d act on the things he did to you- but you knew that he wouldn’t, because every time he did those things to you, your reaction played into the fact that you didn’t want it.

“Fuck off rafe” or “behave Rafe” or even “in your dreams”. Because you’d been friends with him for so long, you were scared that if you ever admitted your feelings to him, he wouldn’t feel the same. You knew he wouldn’t.

So, you opted for this, using your toys as an outlet for what you couldn’t ever admit. It worked. Sort of. Not really. You’d wish upon every star in the sky that Rafe was here doing this to you instead.

You’re so deep in your thoughts that you don’t hear your door creaking open, Rafe stood in the doorway. At first, he’s shocked, not expecting this from the woman he’s known so long- the one who blushes scarlet red when he touches her waist, or thighs- but then he smirks.

You’ll never live this down, and when you eventually notice him stood in your doorway you’ll blush that scarlet colour that looks so pretty on your cheeks, that he loves. And he’ll tease you forever.

He’s leaning against the doorframe, watching you fuck yourself with a plastic cock, hips pushing up to meet your pace. A thought crosses his mind, that he wishes it were him, and his own cock stirs in his pants.

“Rafe,” you whimper, speeding up your ministrations on yourself. His smirk is gone. He’s immediately second guessing himself as to whether he heard what he just heard. His hand comes up to wipe his face, shaking away the thoughts.

Until he hears it again. “Rafe,”

The smirk is back, as he finally clears his throat, alerting you of his presence. Your head snaps to your bedroom doorway, entire face bright red as you see Rafe stood there, shit eating grin on his face.

You scramble, chucking the dildo somewhere on your bed and pushing your sleep shorts back over your now soaked cunt. You’re up on your knees on the bed, searching around for your phone and doing anything but looking at Rafe.

“whatcha doing?” Rafe asks, the grin seeping into his words. You check your phone, inwardly cursing at not checking for his messages.

“I uh, nothing,” you respond back, shutting off your phone and finally looking up at Rafe. There’s a glint in his eyes and you know it’s over. You don’t know how long he’s been stood there, but you know he’s seen enough.

He’ll tease you for the rest of your life. Rafe smirks again, it never seeming to leave his face as he makes his way over to your bed and takes a seat next to you. You look down again and see his hands reaching around for something.

“Really?” He asks, and you meekly nod.

He finally finds what he’s looking for, grabbing the plastic that’s covered in your slick still, almost making his dick fully hard.

“So you weren’t just fucking yourself with this pretending it was me?” He asks again, free hand gripping your chin to force you to look at your dildo. You whimper, shaking your head and closing your eyes.

It’s so over. Rafe chuckles, thumb toying at your lips before pushing past and laying heavy on your tongue. He makes a tsk noise, eyes all over you.

“If you wanted me to fuck you, you could’ve just asked doll,” he grins, thumb pushing further. You swirl your tongue around the digit, sucking lightly as you open your eyes and look up at Rafe. His lips are slightly parted, watching as you suck on his thumb.

“Fuck,” he murmurs as he pulls his thumb out, faltering. There’s a second of silence between the two of you before Rafe’s all over you, pushing you back into the bed as his lips crash against yours. He slots between your legs and you feel his cock push against your cunt, slowly grinding there.

His tongue slips into your mouth, exploring everywhere as you’re gasping, fingers gripping his biceps. Rafe doesn’t stay for long, lips attaching to your neck as he yanks your tank top up, hands finding your breasts and groping.

“You know how hard it is to look at these and not be able to touch them? And your fucking nipple piercings, driving me insane when you’ve got no bra on. Must do it on purpose,” he rambles, flicking your nipples. You hiss, being extra sensitive there because of the aforementioned piercings.

His mouth makes its way down to your nipples, attaching to the left while his hand still fumbles with the right.

Your hands find his hair, grasping at the locks as you struggle to find any words. This was heaven. You couldn’t actually believe this was happening right now.

You can feel the bundle of an orgasm from him touching your nipples alone, and you gasp, pulling his hair especially tight when he bites down.

“Oh fuck Rafe, I’m gonna cum if you keep doing that.” You moan, and Rafe pops back up with a shit eating grin.

“Just from that? Are they that sensitive?” He smirks, swapping his mouth over to the other nipple. You’re loud, scratching his head with your nails as he continues, grinding his dick down on your clit at just the right pace.

“Rafe, fuck, please, please-” he completely removes himself from you, pulling all the way back to sit in the edge of the bed.

It takes you a second, before you’re lifting yourself up, confused. Rafe smirks down at you, chucking something your way before taking a seat in the chair across from your bed.

You realise, once you’ve gotten over the haze, that he chucked your dildo at you. He frees himself from his pants, giving his cock a few strokes, head thrown back. Your mouth waters, seeing how thick and long he is, but it doesn’t last long before you realise he’s not moving to touch you.

“I don’t- I don’t understand what’s happening here,” you begin, and Rafe smirks at you.

“Cmon doll, I know you’re not that stupid. I wanna see what you’d do if I weren’t here.”

You blush brighter than before if possible but find yourself pulling your shorts off, kneeling on the bed with the cock in your hands.

“Spread those legs for me, show me how you’d fuck yourself,” you scramble back down, legs open in front of Rafe as he curses at your weeping cunt. You figure all or nothing- if you didn’t get over the embarrassment now, when would you?

You take the dildo into your mouth, tongue swirling around the tip of the dildo before pushing as much in your mouth as possible. Rafe groans, matching you with his hand as his thumb spreads precum over his cock.

Once you’re sure it’s wet enough you pop the cock out of your mouth and bring it down to your cunt, hissing as it makes contact with your clit. You swipe it through your folds for a few seconds before lining up with your hole, pushing in.

“That’s it doll, fucking hell. You take it so well,” Rafe tells you, encouraging you to continue. You begin your regular pace, grasping the base of the dildo so hard you’re sure your knuckles are white.

You don’t hold back, letting Rafe hear your moans as your hips begin to reach up to meet the end of the dildo. When you can, you flutter your eyes over to Rafe to see him fucking his hand, matching your pushes.

It’s so fucking hot. It doesn’t take you long to get close to the edge, pace quickening as your free hand reaches down to circle your clit.

“I’m so close Rafey,” you whine and Rafe groans, more so at the pet name.

“Cmon pretty girl, show me how you come,” he demands and that’s all it takes for you to reach your peak, hips stuttering and hands faltering as you cry out in pleasure. The dildo is pulled from you and replaced with Rafe’s tongue, his lapping being so overwhelming that you try to pull away.

He doesn’t let you, hands wrapping around your thighs as he smothers himself in your cum.

“So fucking pretty, creaming all over some plastic. Can’t wait to have you on my cock,” he grumbles into you, latching onto your clit and sucking.

You’re gasping, seeing stars as he slips a finger in and continues his relentless pursuit on pulling another orgasm out of you.

“Rafe, Rafe, please, too much,” you cry, pushing at his head. You can feel him smile against you.

“Can’t get enough, stay still pretty,” he demands and you find yourself relaxing, still overstimulated but wanting to be good.

It doesn’t take long, as Rafe adds another finger and does not let his tongue leave your clit and you’re crying out again, getting louder, suddenly thankful you live alone. You soon come, feeling a heavy pressure flood out from your cunt.

“Oh fuck, you fucking creamed all over my face,” Rafe says, coming up from your cunt. He’s right, his face is covered in your slick and you can’t help but think how hot he looks.

You’re dazed, smiling lazily up at him as he kicks off his pants and climbs ontop of you. He gives you a gentle kiss, sweet in comparison to what is happening.

“Can you give me one more?” Rafe asks, eyes meeting yours as his hand grips the base of his cock, pushing the tip against the opening of your hole.

“Please Rafey, fuck me,” you whimper and that’s all it takes for him to push all the way in, groaning and giving you both a second before he brings a rushed pace.

��Feels so much better than my dildo,” you moan, head thrown back into the pillows. Rafe grunts, hand reaching between the two of you to circle your clit.

“Yeah? This pussy is heaven doll. Can’t believe you kept it from me for so long,” you know you’re not going to last long, feeling the cook in your lower belly more than ever and Rafe’s words help you get there.

Rafe brings his head down to yours, capturing your lips in a sloppy kiss as he encourages you to come, and you do, pussy clenching him so hard he swears he’s seeing stars.

It doesn’t take Rafe long to follow behind you, hips stuttering as he shoots his cum into you, collapsing down next to you in a heavy breath.

There’s silence, then you’re giggling, slapping Rafe’s chest. He side eyes you, still trying to catch his breath.

“What’s so funny?” He asks, grasping your hand and holding it to his chest.

“We just had sex,” you giggle.

“We did,” rafe responds, furrowing his eyebrows.

“I can’t believe I waited so long to do that,” he murmurs and you nod your head in agreement, staring up at the ceiling. You’re not sure what this means for the both of you now, because there’s no way you can go back to being his friend.

Rafe finally leans over on his side, grasping your chin and guiding you to look at him.

“You’re mine now, sweetheart. Not letting you go.” Your heart swells, brain foggy and unsure of the meaning- until Rafe leans over, pressing a sweet kiss to your lips.

“Mine. I mean it.”

The basic dynamics of Hirano and Kagiura's relationship

First of all, I don't like comparing the two because they both fall into the spectrum of ideal romance and the other into complicated romance, But just to make things clear, Sasaki To Miyano is more genuine and romantic while Hirano To Kagiura is more on the complicated side discuss identity crisis where hirano is dealing with his self issues and Kagiura deals with his concept of love Unlike Sasamiya where everything was perfect, friendship, admiration, feelings, time to give a proper answer, mutual feelings

But I will use this in some paradoxes between natural and complex relationships to illustrate some points, fair enough

1. Kagiura's personality is the fastest to develop in this relationship. He just loves his roommate, trying to make sure of his feelings, but thanks to his friend's support, he determined his proper definition of love. Of course, a large part of him is inclined towards his parents' relationship* and as I mentioned before His desire to feel Hirano's feelings for him turned into a physical desire because he couldn't get the look he wanted from Hirano's eyes.

* With that said, I want to touch on this point since this is one of the ways the manga shows how childish Kagiura is, it's something where you ask a child what they want to do when they grow up and they'll tell you they want to be like their mom or dad

I actually asked one of the kids in the family a couple of days ago what she wanted her partner to be like when she grew up, and her response was simple "a kind and a caring person." (You can pull any child near you and they will give you the same answer).

Isn't that exactly what Kagi loves about Hirano? (I mean I know this is a natural trait of the person you love but usually it is not only this, I hope this makes sense) What I'm trying to explain here is how Kagiura is always referred to as a child

Not only that, but Hirano's rejection of him activated the stubborn (and seemingly childish) feeling inside him. Hirano had already rejected him twice (9 - 23.5) But he was vehemently denying it, confident that Hirano would "REALIZE HIS FEELINS" and not "give up." (Because I used to see a lot of people saying that Kagiura is forcing Hirano)

As I mentioned before, this is blind optimism.

Unlike Sasaki, who didn't think he had much hope, and in the time he gave Miyano to think, he was happy that Miyano was thinking of him and didn't want anything else, and even if he had rejected him I'm sure everything would have stayed the same and he wouldn't ask Miya to think again at any chance He was really grateful to have Miano in his life, just it

2. Move to Hirano who The one on his side of the relationship is much slower and also late, since this was the first time he experienced something like this, he had no one to confess to, he had no one to love, and he had never been in a relationship before, Hirano struggles to define and understand love itself, He is not looking for a clear concept, he is trying to find a concept

He had never thought about it before, and it seemed to him that everything he did to Kagiura, from pampering and loving, was a natural act, as he was searching for a sense of responsibility throughout the story.

He was the only child of his parents, intellectually intelligent, but socially stupid, qualities that formed fertile ground for the desire to feel responsible.

We can see how he is a supporting character in the main manga like Hanazawa, but unlike Hanazawa who was driven by anxiety, Hirano was driven by responsibility.

Every time Kagiura gets close to Hirano physically and Hirano doesn't move, it's not that Hirano wants Kagiura to get closer, it's not that Hirano trusts Kagiura not to get closer, but it's already made clear that Hirano doesn't mind Kagiura touching him, it's just that he doesn't understand what this should mean, it's not that he doesn't want to or that he wants to, he just stands helpless not understanding (The thing is, in chapter 20, he was just surprised, but he wasn't bothered by it)

Unlike Sasaki and Miyano, there was a boundary and a line between the contact between them.

The most likely idea for me is that Hirano is slow to understand his feelings because he is trying to understand Kagiura and has never tried to understand himself.

I know I can't be the first one to say this but man... Luffy and Vivi really do have one of the most compelling dynamics in One Piece

There are many reasons for this, but the first thing that comes to mind is how Vivi is one of the very few characters who went through the ordeal of challenging Luffy's principles and having hers be challenged in turn and came out of it with a draw

I mean, Luffy getting into ideological conflicts with other characters isn't anything new, but what happened in Alabasta Saga stood out to me because they show how Luffy and Vivi are foils in a way that I don't think we often see in Luffy's relationship with others, let alone female characters. [more thoughts + rambly analysis under the cut]

like. These two basically took turns - first Vivi in Drum, then Luffy in Alabasta - to grab the other by the collar and tell them no, the way you're doing things is wrong and then forcefully redirect them to a better alternative that I'd argue was against their personal code at that point.

In Drum, Vivi told Luffy off for following his impulse to fight the pirate-wary locals when it could ruin their chances of finding a doctor for Nami; implying he should think about his crew more and how the consequences of his action can affect them. In Alabasta, Luffy berated Vivi for risking her own life trying for a futile, nonviolent way to end the rebellion when the obvious solution is to involve the Strawhats and directly take on Crocodile; implying she should think about herself more and how it's impossible for her to do it all alone.

The narrative is pretty obvious in stating that Luffy is supposed to be a selfish person and Vivi is supposed to be a selfless one. But I think once you take the time to examine their characters and how they clashed, like mentioned above, it's fair to argue that their inherent traits are more nuanced than they may suggest. At its best, Luffy's selfishness extends to every person he considers as his and encourages others to also shamelessly pursue what they want; meanwhile, at its worst, Vivi's selflessness deprives her peers from accountability and places herself as the only one to bear what is supposed to be a collective burden. Selflessly selfish meets Selfishly selfless!

And I like how Vivi and Luffy seem to intuit that when trying to make the other change their mind!! Vivi essentially going I get that you're being protective of your friends but you have to recognize when your usual way of doing things isn't going to cut it in Drum, and Luffy pretty much going I know you don't want anymore casualties but you have to accept that not risking anything will only get you nowhere in Alabasta...

Not only did Luffy and Vivi end up conceding to each other's point, the narrative also framed these fights as instances where Vivi/Luffy is right and the other has to change what is criticized about themselves in order to reach their goals. Luffy needs to learn that defeating an opponent in a fight cannot be his only means to protect his crew and people he cares about. Vivi needs to learn that refusing to involve her comrades and putting only herself on the line won't help her save her country.

Also, although unspoken in text, it's clear that when these two butted heads they were holding the other to their own standards of what a leader is - which is so compelling to think about! Luffy and Vivi are very stubborn people who are very opinionated about their beliefs, but in the short time they have together they'd built a mutual understanding and respect that allow them to unreservedly push and push against each other's notion of captainship and sovereignty. But at the same time it's achingly obvious that the trust and affection is there!! They are friends!!!

just. even them being fascinating foils aside, which is a hill I will die on, the entire "jumbled collision between two contrasting sets of lives (pirates vs nobles) and roles (ship captains vs princesses) and future positions (pirate king vs queen of a desert country) being quietly smoothed out then streamlined into two folks on an equal standing because at the end of the day they're just leaders with people to protect" thing that pre-TS Luffy and Vivi got going on alone is so damn crunchy to me. I'm super excited/anxious to see how late canon would pick up where they left off !!!!!

I've known it from the very start We’re a shot in the darkest dark Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed The waiting is a sadness Fading into madness Oh no, oh no, it won't stop

[bookwyrminspiration]

what is kotlc (i think thats the acronym you used in that poll)

It is! It stands for Keeper of the Lost Cities, an ongoing middle-grade book series by Shannon Messenger.

In it, we follow 12yo Sophie Foster, who's a high school senior and could not be more out of place everywhere she goes. On a field trip, she runs into a mysterious boy who claims he's been looking for her, and she learns why she stands out and can hear thoughts: she's not human.

Whisked away from her life and family to a world of elves, ogres, goblins, and more, Sophie wants nothing more than to try and fit in at her new elf school with her new elf friends. But she's out of place here, too, and the secrets people keep whispering about have her name wrapped up in them.

In order to learn who she really is--why her abilities work different, why she was raised by humans--she has to delve into the underside of the glittering world no one likes to acknowledge exists.

Rebellions and conspiracies meet and Sophie finds her life--and her friends' lives--infinitely more complicated as they realize their paradise is crumbling and threatened, and someone has to step up to save it. It'll put a target on her back, but Sophie's used to standing out--maybe she was made to.

There's of course a lot more I'm not getting into, but that's the overall premise. If you're into middle-grade fantasy, we're around 10 books and counting, and oh boy are things getting wild!

Full disclosure though, even though like 90% of my blog is kotlc, I wouldn't necessarily rec it outside its intended age range. It's a perfectly fine, solid series, and if it sounds fun, great! Just from what I've seen for people who start the series outside the 8-12/13 age range it generally doesn't hit as much.

But either way! there are exceptions and it consumes a lot of my brain space :)

dipped my toes back into mgs for 2 minutes to watch the mgs3 remake trailer and the FIRST comment i saw on youtube was misogyny

[bucksboobs]

I’m the anon from the post before and I understand what you mean! I guess I just took differently when I watched the show. I don’t think Charlie or Nick was upset about Ben being closeted I think they (especially Charlie) we’re just upset how Ben treated Charlie the entire. Also I’m not saying this to be rude or start anything this is just how I saw it:) I think Charlie was angry (as he should) about how Ben treated him through out the relationship they had and not about him being closeted. Because I do believe if Ben just communicated better and treated him better and didn’t treat Charlie the way he did it could’ve worked out. I’m just saying that I didn’t see them bashing Ben for being closeted only bashing him for treating Charlie the way he did without acknowledging how it felt for him.

Yeah I don't think Charlie or Nick is mad about Ben being closeted but weirdly I think the narrative is and that's what irks me. All his issues and bad behaviors are because he's closeted (you said yourself that it's because he's closeted that he treats Charlie the way he does) but the story doesn't seem interested in exploring that so much as punishing him for it by having both Imogen and Charlie yell at him and then throwing him out of the series before he can improve at all.

And when this show is so renowned for it's love and celebration of queer experiences and identity it will always feel out of place that Ben was left out in the dust seemingly because he and his experiences were too complex.

omg chat why is writing kinda hard???

ok so this is a bit of an aside (warning: this post is long) but @348kg and i talked about this and honestly writing fanfics is a way for us to express ourselves creatively while using our idols as inspo for our work. and it’s fun most of the time.. but like honestly, 70-80% of the time, writing is hard. it’s not easy, like… it’s actually quite hard work.

and i know everyone has seen posts of like “pls reblog instead of just silently reading” or “pls like at least to show your appreciation” etc etc etc and ur probs sick of hearing it but like, it’s so true???

writing is honestly hard. and for most of us fanfic writers.. im sure you know but we have lives outside of our blogs. we are students, or we work normal jobs, we have life responsibilities, we have problems to deal with, and yet somewhere in between our busy lives we manage to find the time to sit down and create these pieces of writing for you, the reader, to read.

and tbh, i don’t really know where im going with this? i just want to let you know this: a typical 1-2k words one-shot probably takes me around 2-3 hours to write (on average, on a good day - sometimes longer or shorter). but it takes you maybe 10-15 mins, at most 30 mins to read depending on your reading speed. isn’t the time gap a little wild 🫠 on a typical work day, i get home from work at about 6, i cook myself dinner and eat, i shower and clean up, and if i know im writing that night, i make sure to clear my schedule (ie no overtime, no phone calls to friends or parents etc) and i sit on my laptop and write from about 10ish to about midnight. then i pause and i edit, and set things up to get ready post (think: pictures, title, word count, writing the warnings, summary, doing the tags) and by the time i post, it’s probably 1am.

i breathe a sigh of relief because it feels good! it feels really good to release my labour of love (literally) out into the world. and honestly, you know who you are, but those of you who constantly read and reblog my work, i see u!! (Alexa play i see u by p1harmony) and those who leave comments or reviews in the tags, i also see u (that’s why i like to reblog and respond to your tags too)!! it honestly brings me so much joy when someone comes and talks to me about something i wrote and how it made them feel. or even when someone recommends a fic i wrote. all these things that are so little and take so little of your time actually mean so much to me and im sure other writers as well.

and so i guess what im trying to say to everyone is: if you are a fic reader, if you read any fics, i just want you to know that the fic you loved reading took the writer a lot of resources to write (brain power, creativity and importantly time). i hope this gives u an insight into the process of a writer/writing a fic because im hoping it might help with whether or not you decide to hit that like or reblog or comment button in the near future!!

(also, i think it’s a shame that as writers sometimes we have to compromise on what we actually want to write vs what to write to get more engagement, likes, rbs etc. personally i have been writing on tumblr since 2020 on and off so ive been on here for four years now and i have a good sense of what is a good formula for a “successful” fic - usually it’s smut, usually it’s for the most popular member in terms of fic reading, and usually it’s of a certain length posted around a certain time etc etc. but i guess i don’t rly care anymore bc im a kinda old tumblr writer who isn’t bothered about the notes as much as i am just grateful for the little comments people send me saying that what i wrote made them feel seen or resonated with them. cos i think that is priceless 🥹)

PS. in no way am i complaining about the engagement or lack thereof that i personally get, nor am i complaining about the mere fact that writing is hard bc yes i am aware that i wanted to write in the first place and so it was my decision haha

May I offer: Parallels between Evelyn and Gus. Both witches who found some intrigue in the human realm, went out of their way to engage with it specifically. Perhaps Evelyn found human detritus washed up on the shore, and that’s where her interest began; It’s what led her to building an archway near her home, and then venturing through Eclipse Lake to find a human settlement to build the other side of her portal.

And they find a lot of wonder, particularly in a human from that place; But then this is marred by the reality of witch hunters, of the same one no less, as they become familiar with how this man would even murder and desecrate his own brother in the name of genocide.

What’s interesting is the duality between their experiences; Evelyn goes in, perhaps excited or just curious, and after meeting Caleb, decides there must be something worth preserving in that connection. So she might’ve created the Portal before he moved out, or even with Caleb after he did, even programmed it to open in Caleb’s home where they expected Philip to be; Only for Philip to already be here. He murders Caleb and later scavenges his corpse, and Evelyn buries the Portal, wanting nothing more to do with the human world.

But she didn’t destroy it; She still left it intact. Maybe Evelyn decided she wanted nothing else with that place, but also considered that others might. So the time wasn’t right, but eventually it will be. And that Portal is indeed later used to help fuel Gus’ obsession with humans, when one of them comes to him. And he learns and even suffers from the reality of witch hunters in his home, before finally arriving in the human realm.

And yet despite this, Gus manages to hold onto most of his loved ones, he’s lucky enough to do so, and it helps that he has more friends and allies to support one another. So in spite of just losing someone to that same human, when Gus returns home, he makes it clear that he can accept the human world, warts and all, and intends to come back. He’s not going to let a bad actor ruin his perception and happiness, or drive him away.

And Gus succeeds! He found happiness, he met Vee who really found happiness here. So it’s not as if the human world is only good for providing a few decent people to save from it. Gus wants a mutual exchange program between the realms. And I suspect Evelyn still did as well, even if she couldn’t bear to do it herself because of the trauma and grief and disillusionment; Because she knows there’s still something there, and suspects the picture of humanity is incomplete if it’s just a racist white colony.

So one of them visits the human world, and its worst aspects follows them back, causing them to avoid the human world. The other is hurt by that lingering aspect, has to go to the human world to avoid the fallout of the aspect’s destruction, and finds so much more belonging and happiness now that this human place has changed over time. So Evelyn was right in that just wasn’t the time yet for her —to return after Caleb’s death or beyond— but definitely for others later and that’s why she left the Portal intact. So even if it is destroyed, the butterfly effect of that choice led to a new one being created.

The idealization of a place only to be let down after arriving, but not barring anyone else, VS knowing the truth and then still finding enough beauty after the visit to return, and then bringing others. The way a lot of this can be attributed to that place changing thanks to humans like Caleb and Evelyn, because some reject their alleged superiority to welcome others, and then we have immigrants like Camila who survived this system, who contribute to changing it in their own ways. And Camila could be Gus’ Caleb in one sense, as a human who welcomed him in Gravesfield, while Luz is Caleb as a human who went to the demon realm to self-actualize.

i keep seeing your posts about iwtv and being like ohhh i should watch that and then i see the fandom discourse posts about it and im like actually.... maybe i am good.... /SILLY

PPFFB nono that's fair like. my god. the level of media illiteracy and horrific racism this fanbase spouts sometimes is sm of the most ghoulish, most evil and cruel i have ever interacted with and that's putting it Light iit's Like. it's extremely disheartening and awful, and unfortunately, very very rampant.

HOWEVER!!! i must say that despite my (warranted) haterisms to parts of the iwtv fanbase, it's also one of the most intelligent and creative ones i've interacted with. the art is amazing, both written and drawn, the analysis (when not done by the morons in the previous paragraph) is deeply engaging and thought provoking work! i've legit lost track of time more than once just reading iwtv meta, and i'm more than happy to share the blogs of sm of the ppl who's posts have done that if anyone is interested :] i've for sure reblogged some of their posts here!

and for iwtv itself, it's a fantastic show! the music, the framing, i have like. v v few complaints about it. it's truly incredible idk how to even describe it in a way that does it justice. don't let let one wack ass fanbase bar you from such a great piece of media smile if you're interested i definitely recommend it!

[mermaidsirennikita]

How did you went from saying positive things about Bridgerton S2 to be like 'this season is ass actually'

My feelings on it evolved lol….? It’s a TV show, I changed my mind. I also thought Twilight was AMAZING back in the day.

That’s the issue with the culture of committing to fandom versus actually watching or reading things for what they are tbh. You care more about dying on a hill than how you actually individually feel about the content.

Also, if I’m being totally real, I liked the leads and I wanted it to be good. I forced myself to be more positive than I felt, and I’ve honestly grown out of that a lot in the past…. Two years? Since that season came out. It’s been a WHILE.

For the record, my current feelings are that it is in fact pretty bad and while who knows, that could change, it’s doubtful.

i'm so sorry to see that you're being vagueposted about for your sylki takes. it may be true that how you see sylki is a bit different than a certain section of the fandom, but that doesn't at ALL mean that you shouldn't be allowed to have your own takes! fwiw, i followed you bc i actually agree with and really enjoy ur perspective on sylki. i was getting frustrated with how many people seem to view this ship in a super heteronormative way and want sylvie to basically become a housewife, and i was so glad to find a blog that felt the same way. this fandom has become tiring tbh with how many people are now freaking out that sylvie hasn't immediately started having lokis babies in s2, and i really wish that people would at least leave room for others to have their own opinions!

this! that section of sylki shippers do not leave any room for you to have your opinions! they act like a fanon police controlling what you say in your posts on your blog!

and god forbid that what you say opposes their own hcs and takes, if you commit this unforgivable sin of having a take that is different from theirs, you better be ready for some good old online group harassment! they will make you feel like you are not welcome in this fandom, they will make sure that you are hurt, they will alienate you and force you out!

but no, you are the bad guy for jokingly calling a fandom in general "vanilla" and saying (after several disclaimers that it's your personal opinion) that when it comes to canon, you don't think that sylvie should be all about being loki's housewife.

at this point i honestly hate this fandom. there are some decent sylkis out there and i love the ship itself, but a big portion of the fandom has simply sucked all the joy for the series out of me. i wonder if they realize what the consequences of their behavior could be? back when i said (in my blog) that i don't think sylvie having babies is a compelling completion of her story in canon, and this bunch came to my blog to harass me for my takes, i was in a very *very* bad place already, and the space that was supposed to be my escape pretty much turned on me and added up to an already depressing state i was in.

and bfr anyone says that it's just a fandom wank, let me tell you that these people know how to be really cruel, whether they realize it or not, their behavior is simply cruel. they don't just argue in favor of their opinion, they shit on you personally, get aggressive towards you personally, make you feel like you "can't sit with them", ect. it gets really creepy and ugly.

and the thing is, i never addressed anyone specific in my posts, i never said *this* person and *that* person have shitty hcs/takes, i never even vaguely hinted at a distaste towards the hcs/takes of someone specific, but they accuse me of pointing fingers. when i said that i didn't think canon sylvie having babies would work, i never said anything about sylki babies in fanfiction, yet people accused me of pointing fingers at the fic writers. and they would come to my blog, harass me in the replies and asks, and talk about how despicable i am in their own blogs, and it went on and on for a while.

thanks for your nice words, anon, they are uplifting. and to those who can't stand me so much, don't worry, i'm going to leave this fandom once the series is finished. i hope you are satisfied that being a shitty, gatekeeping, narrow-minded, egocentric person worked for you! but don't ever feel entitled to complain about how lokius shippers treat you.

Oh my god one last thing my ex took me to outside lands and when we tried to watch lana del rey he laid down on the grass and had a “panic attack” (this was after months of him talking about how he didn’t like her) so we went to see foo fighters after a bit and he was FINE
