what do you think would happen if instead of knock out having to repair a beat down and broken breakdown, it’s the other way round? knock out gets seriously injured and breakdown has to be the one to repair him this time.

(also i love your writing, you do such a good job of getting the characters to feel like themselves!! it’s so cool ^^)

ngl, this ask got away from me. I probably could have answered it in a few paragraphs but I wrote out a little fic instead soooooo hope you enjoy that:3 I had too many ideas so tone-wise...it might be a bit of a mess x__x (BUT THANK YOU!!!! YOU ARE SO KIND!)

ao3 link x

Breakdown’s frame moved on pure instinct. He held Knock Out close to his chassis, careful not to jostle the medic too much as he rushed down the halls of the Nemesis. The curious vehicons stepped out of his way as he barreled through, making a beeline to medbay.

He couldn’t even remember how he’d gotten back onto the Nemesis. The answer was at some point he had demanded a groundbridge and had raced in, bolting out of the command bridge until he reached the medbay. All of that had been done without thought, his processor entirely focused on the unconscious red speedster in his arms. As soon as he had laid his optics on Knock Out, crumpled in the barren red clay, he had jumped into action, scooping up his partner and running on autopilot.

When the medbay doors opened, Breakdown laid his partner on the first medberth he laid optics on. He did so with the utmost care, making sure he didn’t further damage his already injured frame. Breakdown paid extra attention to Knock Out’s arm, cradled over the medic’s chest as it was only held together by three small wires.

Breakdown didn’t let the grim sight affect him. He couldn’t . Energon was still gushing from the sliced cables and Knock Out’s red finish was losing its luster by the klik. He had to move quickly. Stabilize the medic at the very least. From there… well, he’d figure it out. That was a problem for future Breakdown. Right now, the only thing that mattered was making sure Knock Out didn’t lose any more precious energon.

He at least knew what to do there. Breakdown may not be trained as a medic in the slightest, but he had always assisted Knock Out in the medbay. He may not know what each precise reading of a spark monitor meant, but he knew how to hook up the machine to a patient's spark chamber and processor port. He might not have studied cable repair and restoration, but he knew how to clamp up the leaking ones to prevent further energon loss. With these skills in hand, he moved quickly, all the while keeping an optic on Knock Out in the hopes his precious medic would wake.

He kept his panic at bay as he worked through the mental list of stabilizing Knock Out, his patient. He tried not to let that thought trigger his panic attack and ducked his helm down as he carefully attached each monitor. One for spark rate, one for energon and fluid levels, one for processor activity and a few more he didn’t even know what they tracked. Knock Out would know when he woke up. Knock Out would be able to fix this. Right?

Breakdown looked down at Knock Out’s nearly severed shoulder. The bright red plating was stained in sticky, tacky energon and beyond that was a mess of slashed cables and striped wires. He did his best to make sure the remaining wires weren’t pulled taunt and to keep the loose limb secure and stable. Beyond that…Breakdown was at a complete and utter loss.

He wasn’t a medic, neither by construction nor by trade. Yes , he assisted Knock Out, but it was always with Knock Out leading and Breakdown happily following. His skills had always been centered around breaking and destruction, not repair and mending. Knock Out was the medic. Breakdown just followed orders and did minor cleaning . His paperwork as Knock Out’s “assistant” had just been a simple ruse to keep them together! He wasn’t equipped - physically, mentally, emotionally- to deal with this!

Unfortunately, as it stood, Breakdown may be the closest mech the Nemesis had to a medic with Knock Out out of commission. It had been the whole reason he and Knock Out had been called to the Nemesis in the first place. And instead of realizing the inherent value of having only one capable medic, Decepticon High Command sent him out for scouting missions to fight the Autobots and putting his life on the line and now-

Breakdown swallowed the panic, its sticky static trying to cling to his intake as he took a heavy vent in and then out. There were no other options. Breakdown would just have to do his best. It wasn’t as if he hadn’t picked up on some things while working under Knock Out. At the very least, Breakdown knew the basics. It may not be enough to fully reattach Knock Out’s hanging arm, but he could hopefully stabilize and stop the bleeding enough for when Knock Out woke, making patching him up all the easier. He had to believe in that, focus his mind on that task and not the ever mounting pressure and panic threatening his servos to start rattling.

Hasilty, he tried to recall Knock Out’s instructions. Knock Out loved to talk his way through operations and Breakdown had always recorded his speeches, if not for the information, than just because he loved hearing the medic ramble no matter the usbject. It turns out, it might be the thing saving Knock Out’s life.

“First Step, dear Breakdown: Stabilize. It’s not really advisable to have your patient dying on the medberth, but the clean up is really the worst part.”

Hearing Knock Out, even over the faded, tinny recording soothed the tremoring of Breakdown’s servos. He took a deep exvent in, as he listened to a Knock Out from long, long ago casually list off necessary stabilization and patient admittance procedure.

“You want to make sure there are no active leaks. Usually a cable clamp is a satisfactory temporary measure. If its cracks within the tanks, a stop leak additive can be introduced to the fuel tank to coagulate the energon to prevent further leaks until the tank has been restored. It's important to make sure there is still energon flowing through the patient, otherwise the frame’s nanites cannot begin the self-regeneration process.”

Breakdown had already clamped off the energon leak and Knock Out didn’t appear to have any other active leaks.

He quickly sped through the next few steps of Knock Out’s stabilization steps. They covered more severe measures for burns, crushed fuel lines, malware corrosion. Breakdown hoped he didn’t need to worry about those, but from what he could glean, the majority of the damage was from the nearly severed arm.

“Great,” Knock Out’s recording praised. The tone was warm, familiar, reserved for Breakdown alone. It shouldn’t make his spark spin so rapidly it made his chest burn but it did. Everything Knock Out did had that effect on him. “ Now, we are going to want to do a system assessment and diagnostic.”

As soon as the words whistled through his audials, Breakdown felt his spark sink into the depths of his chassis.

While Breakdown knew the basics of patient intake and quick patches, the realm of actual, professional grade care was above his knowledge base. Knock Out could take one glance at an offset wing and know the issue was a simple alignment or see a shattered knee joint and know the exact reconstruction configuration for that specific frame type. Breakdown surely couldn’t look as a nearly dismembered arm and know how to pop it back into place.

Breakdown stared at Knock Out and the mess of his shoulder in utter dismay. He didn’t know what to do. Sure, he helped Knock Out occasionally in the medbay but that was in the vein of passing equipment or fetching medicine. It certainly wasn’t anything more than that. He wasn’t a forged medic, he wasn’t even a trained nurse. They just put that on paper so they would make sure they got to stay on the same ship together.

He needed a real medic. Someone that knew what they were talking about.

An idea…struck Breakdown, less like a bolt of lightning and more like a creeping, dawning dread. He quickly pulled up his comm link and enabled the frequency scrambler.

Ratchet stared at the anonymous comm link with a chill of dread rolling down his spinal strut.

The frequency was concealed and somehow managed to get through the several encrypted firewalls the Autobots had set up to protect their network from Decepticon interference. Evidently, more protective measures would need to be implemented. Without opening it, all Ratchet could see was the scrambled frequency and the single word subject: help .

Hesitantly, Ratchet opened the message. It was short, curt.

::Need your medical advice. Call me. Emergency.::

He frowned deeply. It wasn’t from any of his fellow Autobots and it wasn’t from Starscream. Even Wheeljack, despite his transient and “neutral” status, was in their contact database. There weren’t that many Cybertronians in range that it could be, leaving only a handful of Decepticons possibly on the end of the link.

Before Ratchet could debate about calling, his anonymous messenger seemed to lose patience and called him . The ringing echoed in the quiet Autobot base, everyone out scouting and the kids thankfully at their homes, leaving Ratchet alone. Curiosity won out at the end as he accepted the call.

The comm link connected but there was no immediate answer. A faint, quiet buzzing met him, telling him the call connected but the caller was choosing not to speak.

Gruffly, Ratchet spoke. “Hello?”

“Uh,” came a hesitant, deep register “hey, Doc.”

Ratchet blinked. The voice was not un familiar, but Ratchet wasn’t completely sure he could place it. The image of an angry bulky blue bot came to mind but...

“This is-“

“Breakdown. Yeah, I don’t really have time to chat. Just need your help for a second. I’ll owe you or whatever.”

Ratchet narrowed his optics. A myriad of questions rolled through the medic’s helm: How did a Decepticon bruiser get his personal comm link? How long has his information been available to the Decepticons? What other holes in their Network were there that any low-ranking Decepticon could just access willy nilly? What business did Breakdown even have with Ratchet of all mechs?

“Help with what? ”

Rather than reply, an incoming video call request came in from the same comm frequency.

Was this a threat? An attempt at blackmail or ransom? Oh no. Had the Decepticons taken one of his mech’s prisoners? Or what if it was one of the kids or-

Before his thought could even finish, Ratchet accepted the call only to be met by the (goreish) image of a nearly severed arm coated in thick, tacky energon. Several fuel lines had been slashed and nearly every wire snapped, snagged and frayed.

“Oh Primus, what is this?” Ratchet cried out.

“A gift from your wrecker, courtesy of his bombs,” Breakdown snarled, anger and the edge of panic in his voice. “Just tell me how I fix him.”

“You have a medic, don’t you?” Ratchet sneered, the image of the flashy speedster conjured in his processor.

“Whose arm do you think this is?” Breakdown hissed.

Oh.

Upon closer examination, Ratchet could see the telltale edges of sleek red plating, now chipped and scratched, a sickly gray sheen taking over the usual glimmering finish. Based on the relative silence over the comm link, Ratchet had to assume Knock Out was, well, knocked out . Otherwise, he could only imagine the absolute fit the other medic would throw in knowing his precious frame was in the hypothetical servos of Ratchet .

“Why would I help you?” Ratchet asked.

Doing so would only be giving aid to the enemy . With Knock Out out of commission, even for a little bit, that would allow the Autobots to make some moves, finally make actual concrete steps into ending this war and defeating Megatron. Why would he help? Why would he go against his own cause and the great good for Cybertronians-

“Didn’t you take some oaths?” Breakdown asked, his tone veering from distressed to disgust.

Well. He did have a point. The inner fires that had been burning in Ratchet’s chest extinguished with one fell-swoop as he let out a heavy exvent.

Breakdown continued, seemingly taking Ratchet’s defeated sigh as acceptance. “I’m not asking you to actually do it. I’m not bridging you here and he’s not going to be at the mercy of the Autobot. I’ll take care of it-”

“You aren’t a medic!”

“Our only medic won’t have an arm unless I do something,” Breakdown snapped back. A shuddering exvent whistled over the frequency before the normally brutish mech whispered a quiet, desperate, “Please?”

It shouldn’t make Ratchet’s resolve waiver. Yet, Ratchet found himself soften at the quiet plea. He knew all too well the pain of watching a loved one suffer and as much as he may hate Knock Out, he didn’t relish the idea of being one of the factors in his ill fated injury. He knew the bitter taste of not being able to fix, mend, help .

“It’s going to require surgery,” Ratchet said with a grimace. It looked like Wheeljack’s bombs not only nearly severed the limb but removed the surrounding plating’s protective coating. “It’s not something I can just walk you through. A repair like this is complicated, meddling in it without expertise could cause even more damage.”

“Can’t we just do a quick patch? To make sure it doesn’t get worse? Something?”

It was odd hearing Breakdown so… panicked . Ratchet, while never quite having the fortune to face off against the Decepticon, he certainly heard many tales from Bulkhead about him, none never quite painted him in such a soft, caring light. Then again, the risk of loss made everyone reveal their true selves.

“I suppose we can do some light repair work and splint up the rest. Is he suffering from any other injuries?” If it is just his arm, Knock Out should be able to handle the repair, or at least instruct his partner in patching it up. If he really was a medic worth his expensive, ostentatious finish.

“Not that I could tell. Just scuffed up and some dents. I can buff those out later.”

“How thoughtful,” Ratchet grumbled. “Right, let’s get this over with quickly.” No point in becoming overly familiarized with Breakdown. Ratchet did not intend for this to be a repeat venture. Judging by Breakdown’s general disposition, he didn’t seem to be either. “Okay, first zoom me in on the wire connections and let me see what we are working with. You clamp those cables yourself?”

There was a distant grunt as Breakdown slowly turned the video feed to show every angle of the injured arm. “I’m his assistant. Nurse. Whatever. I help K.O. in the medbay often enough to how to clamp some slaggin’ cables. My helm’s hard but it’s not full of lead.”

Ratchet didn’t want to say he was impressed but…well, it wasn’t like any of his mechs knew how to clamp cables or even what cable clamps were.

“They look good,” Ratchet muttered the slight praise. He quickly coughed, clearing his intake as Ratchet shifted to a more authoritative, professional tone. “Alright, does Knock Out have anything for splints? Tension cables, mesh tape, any medgrade solvent. You are going to want to keep it clean to avoid rust infections. Oh, and nanite gel will be useful as well for doing some minor restorative work to the light damaged cables…”

Breakdown wasn’t sure how long had passed before Knock Out’s optics flickered on. Warm, red glowed in the dimly light medbay as the medic slowly took in his situation. There was…a strange look on his partner’s face. Breakdown leaned closer as Knock Out slowly looked around. It seemed to take the speedster a moment before his optics landed on Breakdown.

“Medbay?” he asked, his tone…unsure. Off.

Worry immediately crashed over him. Breakdown quickly scanned the console monitors but by his limited knowledge, everything looked correct. Ratchet had even confirmed so when Breakdown had shown him all the readings. All Knock Out’s meters were stabilized, his energon levels were satisfactory and even his plating had started to lose the gray sheen, familiar bright red peeking through.

Oh Primus, what if his processor took damage. Breakdown had been so focused on the mangled arm, he hadn’t even considered damage to his helm. Breakdown barely knew how to apply the temporary welds even with an experienced medic walking him through it. Processor damage though . That wasn’t even Knock Out’s specialty. Breakdown had learned everything he had from his partner and he had done a basic helm check. No dents, no scraps. The virus detector found nothing.

“Yeah, K.O. You got hit. How’re you feelin’? In any pain?”

“Nope,” Knock Out let the sound pop from his lips. A little giggle followed which was very un-Knock Out. “I feel great .”

Looked like the anesthesia was still cycling through his systems. Breakdown had hooked up the machine by muscle memory. The machine itself had little use, no injury brought into the medbay really needed more than a mild numb agent. The last time machine had been used was when Megatron had been comatose-

Scrap. In his haste to hook up Knock Out to the machine and to take care of the energon leaks, he hadn’t even thought to recalibrate the machine for Knock Out’s frame. Breakdown swallowed the rising panic of knowing Knock Out’s systems were currently cycling through a Megatron-sized dose of anesthesia. The dosage for a mech nearly double, if not triple Knock Out’s capacity.

He had half the mind to call Ratchet back. He was halfway through enabling the scrambler when Knock Out let out a happy, content sigh.

It…didn’t look like it was having any adverse effects. Sure, Knock Out seemed a little out of it, but if that’s all, maybe he could hold off on reaching back out to the Autobot medic. He didn’t want to test his luck. He didn’t know what would happen if Megatron found him in communication with the Autobots. For any reason.

“Happy to hear it,” Breakdown said, thankful that as much as this whole situation was a slaggin’ mess, at least he wasn’t in pain. There was still that dazed look in Knock Out’s optics and a looseness in his limbs that Breakdown hoped was just a temporary symptom of the anesthesia.

“You patched me up?” asked Knock Out with a soft, lofty laugh. The sound shouldn’t peak his anxiety but he’d never , in all the vorns they had known each other, ever heard Knock Out giggle . “Where d’you learn all that?” He was beaming, all too proud for a mech that nearly lost his entire arm.

Breakdown felt nauseated by the vast contradiction of utter adoration or deep, spark-aching worry. However, despite both of these, he could not burst Knock Out’s bubble that in truth he had called the ornery Autobot medic for help.

“Only from the best,” he murmured.

Lazily Knock Out’s optics dragged down his frame, lingering with a small pout at every scratch and dent he spied along the way. It ended at his shoulder joint, which even Breakdown had to admit, didn’t look all that much better with the temporary splints than it had looked just hanging from those scant few wires.

“‘S not bad,” Knock Out murmured, his voice slightly slurred and sleepy. “Aiming for my gig?”

“Not sure my shoddy work is gonna pass any examinations,” Breakdown responded softly, holding Knock Out’s uninjured servo in-between his own. “It’s a mess. You’re going to have to help me clean up whatever I fragged up.”

“Mmmm,” Knock Out hummed, optics unfocused and slightly dim. “Not sure I have the capacity to give instruction now.”

“Just rest,” Breakdown lifted the clawed servo to his lips, speaking directly into the metal. “I’m sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing, silly?” Knock Out slurred, digits wiggling playfully but oh so weakly between his palms. “You fixed me up.”

“Knock Out-”

“Shhhhh,” the drowsy medic hushed, clawed digit clumsily landed across Breakdown’s lips. “The doctor is speaking.” A sloppy, drug induced smile crawled across his lips plates. “One medical professional to another. Besides-” Knock Out dropped his voice to a soft whisper “-you took care of me. That’s all I could ever ask of you.”

Breakdown swallowed the knot of emotion rising up his intake. He pressed another kiss to Knock Out’s finger before gently placing his servo back onto the medberth.

“Leaving?” Knock Out asked quietly as Breakdown stood. It made the large mech pause. It wasn’t often he heard his partner so weak, so vulnerable.

“Just going to clean up.”

“That can wait. Come back here.” There was a slight pout on the speedster’s face. “You know an important aspect of patient care is…” The words failed him suddenly, his pout turning into a confused frown.

“Bedside manner?”

“Yes. Yes, yes. Exactly.”

Breakdown slowly eased himself back into the seat, his spark warming as the smile blossomed on Knock Out’s face once more. His arm flopped out of the berth to reach Breakdown but it seemed his fine motor skills were too lax to do much than hang limply in the space between them.

“Okay, K.O.” Breakdown murmured, picking up the loopy medic’s servo once more. “I ain’t going anywhere.”

“Good.”

ALRIGHT. SPILL EVERYTHING SILVER. I NEED TO KNOWWWWW (and if he has a masterpost that i just. failed to see. link me that right meow)

what agent number is he !! what does he look like !! does he have proper kitty features (other than his REALLY swag claws) !! how tall is he !! is he a radiant ? (if so what are his abilities !!!) whats his overall ~vibe~

omg..... i think he wld get along with pua SO WELL. HE AND NEON AND PUA THE ULTIMATE TRIO !!!! i wonder if he wld get along with shizuka and poeiva too 👀👀 (shizuka being grimshaw's assistant/apprentice and poeiva being chamber's partner and buddies with fade)

i think this may be one of the first times our ocs have directly interacted SO I AM SOOOOO STOKED AND I NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABT HIM SO THEY CAN BE FRIENDSSSSS (sorry for all the questions 😭😭)

ASNLKDJFCB OKAY,,,,,,,, no masterpost yet cause i'm Shy:tm: and not everything is fully set in stone yet

agent number is 31, which in numerology is asociated with originality and practicality. it can still change tho i'm. unsure. appearance wise he uh. i'm putting this utc don't wanna make it too long on the dash

his ears are PUNCHED w metal, both of em. his eyes are (nowadays) yellowish orange, and glow proper orange when using his abilities. color pallete is sth along these lines, and the most distinctive aspect of his outfit beyond his big fuckoff metal claws is that he wears a (somewhat cropped) hoodie that's oversized and a lil puffed up to cover up the wiring and metal strapped to him underneath it, which he uses to charge up his claws.

he doesn't have kitty features i'm afraid but he DOES have a kitty ears hoodie. it's his warmest, comfiest hoodie. his bestest hoodie. at heart he's a lynx. he's 179cm/5'8'' tall, and he IS a radiant, through prolonged exposure to radianite. radiation. lol. bit more lore of that can be found on this unfinished lore fic omg don't look at me.

his ability is metallokinesis, he controls all kinds of metal, but it's not exactly metalbending.

the "emp thing" is what's for now his ult. he digs his claws into one of his bombs while they're charged with electricity and throws it ahead to clear an area of traps and stuff. DON'T ASK ABT ANYTHING ELSE THO I NEED TO STUDY A LIL MORE TO MAKE THAT,,,,,,,

PERSONALITY. silver's like a cat in the sense that if he likes you he's really chill and nice and charismatic. and if he dislikes you he's probably two shitty comments away from slashing your throat. BIG hatred for corpos and authority thanks to his bg, really big on Justice and Retribuition, but it's skewed by his own personal experiences and attachments. the line between justice and revenge gets blurred. but when he's chill he's SO chill. literally a buddy. loves metalworking and general crafts, he made his claws and bombs out of literal scrap. big fan of card and tabletop games. has a soft spot for kids. loves himself someone who can match his vibe.

he's adopting shizuka as a SISTER tyvm, you got my back and i got yours kinda deal, a lil bickering but if anything happens to her he's jumping out and biting. poeiva. well. anyone who associates w chamber closely is on The Shitlist i'm afraid. buddies w fade tho? that means straight up "hm" territory

god that's a lot of stuff BUT HE'S SOOOOOO WILLING TO BE BUDDIES,,,,,,, I WANT THEM TO BE FRIENDS 🥺 LET THEM INTERACT....... HOLDING HIM UP TO YOU. HE'S J A SILLY LIL GUY WHO WANTS TO DO ARTS AND CRAFTS.

#sparklers : asks #vessel : david ''silver'' gutierrez #i'll post his vls once i'm done with em......

chainsaw man 112 thoughts below cut bc there is so much to unpack here

asa is so sad about the broken sword/uniform.... baby i’m so sorry :((((

“i don’t know who that woman is” YORU YOU ARE EITHER DUMBER THAN I THOUGHT OR A LIAR SHE HAS YOUR EYESSSSS

student council slash devil hunting club DMLXDS i lvoe the ongoing animanga tradition of student councils being obscenely powerful

it is EXTREMELY funny of fujimoto to drop a hell of a mystery last chapter, leading to a week of speculation and despair and everyone thinking it’ll be the main mystery fr this part, only to be like “oh yeah the imposter is this random dude who just like openly calls himself chainsaw man”. king of anticlimax. love it

i mean i suspect there are like ten imposters running around thanks to the powers of justice and/or coolgirl right there (famine? who is also justice?) but still. extremely funny

g-d asa looks so tired of yoru’s loser shtick this is so funny i love their relationship. pathetic loser teenage girl and an even more pathetic devil possessing her

“as long as you’re inside me, not only will i be miserable but the people around me will be too” sobs cries owwww i get a feeling that the day they do separate it’s gonna hurt like hell even tho rn asa hates her (understandably)

HAHAHAHAHA THIS FACE SHE IS SOOOOOO

the chicken stomping thing...... my heart hurts. g-d everyone is gonna end up miserable and making terrible choices and doing terrible things. i love it

“i’d rather kill a human than a cat” 1) parallels, again 2) that’s fair and also v funny

the fact that creating a weapon involves guilt is so cool bc it’s the contrary of what justice has been doing--granting powers in exchange for the students/hosts believing their every action is utterly righteous. to become stronger asa has to understand that she is doing something heinous and cruel and choose to do it anyway. and she decides to do it.......... rhghhhhhhhh

obsessed with this set of panels and the cat LITERALLY being larger/more important in asa’s vision than the ant-like humans below her....... g-d i hope fujimoto sticks to giving her a villain arc bc it’s genuinely fasctinating stuff

asa seeing denji and immediately going “yeah he sounds good to kill. he’s an idiot and a loser but he sounds like a good person.” augh.

AND THEN IT TURNS OUT DENJI HAS BEEN SCAMMING HOMELESS PEOPLE FOR MONEY FJKSDXDKQLZKLX DENJIIIIIII i love my asshole son

but also............. why aren’t people at school allowed to take on part-time jobs when half of them are orphans and can’t provide for themselves. what the fuck. and denji has to take care of a little sister AND like eight dogs and a cat too??

asa’s self deprecation is so delicious i love a self hating pathetic loser who’s also really tragic and sad and clearly on a terrible terrible path

denji is catching all the cat comparison nows. did fujimoto get a cat and say dog people are out cats are IN

[cowboy AHHHHHHH dot mp4]

literal devil on her shoulder........... and thinking of yuko..................... augh

AHHHH THE FACT THAT THEYRE BOTH IN SHADOW AND SHE CATCHES HIM RIGHT AS HES ABOUT TO STEP IN LIGHT AND THE WHOLE CONVO TAKES PLACE IN THAT SHADOW RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHT oh fujimoto is gonna go for tragedy alright

in general i’m really loving the way the conversation is framed i love how awkward this is how harrowing it is from asa how denji softens i love this so much i love that both protags are traumatized loser teens who have lived unfathomably tragic lives and it’s gonna get so much worse and they don’t understand one another but they are SO similar too.....

UGHHHH ASA IS FEELING REAL GUILT AT THIS AND THINKING SHES GONNA KILL A SAD LOSER TEEN...............

and like. oh man someone earlier said that denji points her out as the girl who hates chainsaw man. and here she is coming up to it asking him out on a date. a girl who hates CHAINSAW MAN but wants to ask HIM out. it’s like. everything he’d hoped and wanted. someone who wants him and sees him and not chainsaw man. and yet he responds in such a shy way when in part 1 he’d have been ecstatic........ genuinely shocked that it would happen at all

sadder still is that she really isn’t seeing him as a person at all and is just aiming for chainsaw man augh. ow.

and really what asa is seeing is a way out of this entire nightmare a way to save yuko (WHOS ALREADY DEAD AAHHHHHHHHHHH) a way to end this entire pantomime and attempt to reclaim a normal life all for the cost of this one loser kid whose name she doesn’t even know but who is so much like her and yuko and augh. augh AUGH

g-d it’s like twenty pages and there is so much to unpack here

AXL DESIGN TIER LIST? 🥺sorry if uve done this before I just like reading your takes hehe

Thank you!! I've only done one for DI Sol and Kyle and I love Axl Low so I can do one for him too. Mr British my friend Axl Bri'ish

GGX Slash Encyclopedia Illustration: This one makes me laugh so hard and Daisuke's caption for it in the GGX art book about Axl "being in charge of stylish fashion" makes me laugh even harder. Did he custom order this??? Maybe not. I've seen clothes like this but with the American flag before.... Very good hair.

Midnight Carnival Burst Encyclopedia Illustration: Heartbreaking lack of exposed tummy in this outfit. Dying to know how the top comes off with those two giant zippers though. Maybe one of them is fake? Non-functional giant zippers, perhaps? Great hair in this design, it looks silky.

GGX/XX/Isuka: It's him! It's Axl!! Full sublimation shirts will always be silly but this design fits well into Guilty Gear's ridiculous sense of fashion design. You could probably find someone out in the wild in real life wearing an outfit like this. I appreciate that it looks comfortable and I have a soft spot in my heart for bandannas with long tassels like this one. Iconic Axl design.

This Illustration: Naked. No bandanna. Nothing to really say about it tbh. 1990s dad energy. I'd split some brewskies with this Axl.

Xrd: Very clear AC/DC inspiration here. But! Tummy. The combination zipper/tie looks like a safety hazard but Axl's a zoner and if someone gets that close he's toast anyway. This design's fun to draw. Detailed, but not annoyingly so.

Strive: This design does a good job balancing elements from his past designs without leaning too far into ridiculous. It also looks comfortable. Axl and his zippers though... How's that vest come off... You can't see it in this illustration, but there's a watch worked into the one glove's design. He had to have had that custom made, for sure, and I don't doubt that it's a really high end watch too.

MISSING LINK: While I understand entirely why Missing Link is the only game to use this design, I love the picnic blanket croptop SOOOOOO MUCCCCHHHH. Axl was a gang leader before all the weird time travel stuff started happening and I think this is the only design he's had where he looks like he'd shuffle around dark alleyways beating people up.

Picnic

gmmtv 2024 part 2 roster, in approximate order of how excited i am about them:

The Heart Killers: YES. soooooo good for me. silly romcom mafia shakespeare plot! dressing everyone up in little outfits! enemies-to-lovers standoff to makeout! love that it's 90s teen movie shakespeare but with more murder. love that this time first and dunk are the ones pursuing khao and joong. delighted p'jojo is directing, he knows exactly what he's doing and he's right for it.

The Ex-Morning: being halfway through watching SOTUS for the first time is an extremely funny time to watch the kristsingto rpf-lite comeback special trailer. it looks good! i love the concept of exes-to-collaborators-to-lovers even before you add in the rpf parallels of it all. p'aof generally does really solid shows and i have no reason to think this won't live up to expectations.

Friendshit Forever: title so stupid it wraps back around into being genius. looks toxic and fun. i will say that if gmmtv wants to yuribait me this hard in the trailer i hope they at least have the decency to yuribait me in the show as well. (real story: when i downloaded the trailers to rewatch i initially ended up with the subtitles from 'Us' playing over the scene where mook and pat meet and for a beautiful moment i lived in a world where there were two gl shows on the 2025 roster.)

Us: the trailer doesn’t give me a great sense for what the actual, uh, plot is. i do appreciate that they found an excuse to have them kiss shirtless in the trailer. the nominal cyrano-esque plot (plus the trite “can two women love one another”) doesn’t feel that interesting but i presume the actual show will have more to it than just that. please i just need a gl that’s well-executed and not about high schoolers (patiently waiting for Pluto….)

Ossan's Love: looks extremely cringe, but….in a charming way? maybe? going to watch regardless because it's earthmix, may go watch the original to get a better idea of what the hell the vibe is supposed to be.

Hide & Sis: feels like it could be campy and fun or could be just bad, but optimistic that it’s the former.

The Dark Dice: okay, so it’s…..jumanji crossed with an escape room crossed with squid game for teenagers? sure i can get behind that. the trailer looked pretty good for being (i assume) relatively low-budget and low-effort.

Revamp: The Undead Story: looks a little silly but very likely in a fun way. (why are there so many vampire shows this year? was there something in the water?)

Thame-Po: okay, so this is a show about a boyband…..where the members are played by gmmtv’s actual boyband? this feels like another instance of rpf lite but less in a fun way and more in a way where i’m a little concerned for these teenagers about fan engagement bleedover. but it did look cute and there are opportunities to go a little meta about the whole thing.

Leap Day: intrigued to watch gun in a role where he actually has things to do

Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist: i think ohm and mark have really fun energy and i badly wanted to like their show, but it looks. SO bad. will watch at least an episode and hope it's better than the trailer made it look but good god.

Break-Up Service: another one that....could be fun or bad, but probably just bad.

Scarlet Heart: was that a trailer or a perfume ad? i guess this is an adaptation and we're supposed to be familiar with the original, slash they didn't have time to film an actual trailer before the event? isekai time travel could be fun in theory but the reverse harem thing does not entice me. pass.

Perfect 10 Liners: you know the bit in Lovely Writer where the show-within-a-show is Bad Engineer, and it's funny because it could literally be any BL that takes place in a university engineering faculty? Lovely Writer is three years old now and we're just still doing this apparently. why are there thirty episodes? did they just decide to toss all the pairs they didn't have a better idea for into the most generic setting possible and cross their fingers? hard pass.

Happiness Live Blogging

After the bland Island, I hope I love it

I’m not super into zombies but from what I’ve heard about it (marriage of convenience and interesting human relationships), it feels like something I’d like

Ep 1 (Mar 18)

lovely beginning hehe

Sae Bom’s mannerisms remind me of Im Jugyeong from True Beauty

she seems capable in multiple ways just from the first half of the episode, I desperately need that after Island’s Miho

oh she got bit

they’ve been really good friends for 12 years then if he’s calling her mom

oh wtf she’s in an apartment filled with people zombies in isolation that’s scary

interestingly she’s not infected despite the bite

so they feel thirsty before becoming zombies

it’s interesting and scarier that it’s not like the people become zombies and are like The Undead but these people can talk normally and be rational but then become irrationally bloodthirsty

every show has redevelopment strangers from hell beyond evil and now this

heheh the “Do you wanna date me?” “Should we get married?” coming around 12 years later at the beginning and end of this ep

This first ep was better than entirely of Island lol I liked the setup and friendship of Sae Bom and Yi Hyun, I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy has liked her for these past decade; she’s “his saviour” and the way he looked when she asked him whether they should get married. I also like the characters so far: Sae Bom is very non-chalant and Yi Hyun seems capable as well. also, they’ve mentioned her being in the hospital for two years and being behind too much to not have that be the the reason she is immune. I’m liking the setup of the zombies too.

Ep 2 (Mar 18/19)

oh homeless man was given pneumonia medicine and became a zombie - Next is used for that

why does that man keep touching his neck?

i love how she’s convincing him to get married like yep i totally mean it

oh Seung Hyun gonna spill and he has a gash

ah he’s literally hanging up a photo from that first day, he must be so in love fr like i’d be surprised if he hasn’t been pining

cute kid who is so observant and is in awe of Seo Bam kicking open the door

lol the attorney with his suit jacket and pajama pants

naurrrr the red top lady skincare woman is taking medicine Next ma’am you’re gonna be a zombie soon

lmfao i was like hm he is in his underwear and is probably hiding something but i was somehow expecting porn or smth not him cheating and hiding a woman under his bed but that makes sense

ah be diligently organized the rooms including the twin beds beside each other

aw her wanting her own place so bad because her family had to move into smaller and smaller places as a child

ah unlikely partners Yi Hyun and Tae Seok

i can’t tell if Tae Seok will end up being kinda evil or not like he worked at some pharmaceutical thing, does he have connections to Next?

I have returned home, so this is my third attempt at finishing this episode cuz i watched a bit last night and this morning at someone else’s house

hehe i like Sae Bom and the tiny sick girl hanging out together

damn, the guy who got scratched has 21 missed calls from his wife and also slit his wrist

damn, he slashed his wrist and is getting that checked out instead of the scratch at his collarbone hm

we could’ve had some lesbian enemies to lovers with Sae Bom and the short haired officer medic at the hospital prison place

oh his name is Lee Seung Hyun

refrigerator truck omg

bruh soooooo many ppl zombies in that truck and it’s just one of multiple

damn they got a zombie in the truck and Tae Seok shot him to death

Tae Seok also casually water boarding the guy

damn Seung Hyun still managing to talk in the truck they haven’t eaten him yet

lol why is it so quiet in the truck

oof, so those zombies didn’t eat him cuz Seung Hyun also a zombie

Ep 3 (Mar 19)

O.O my god when Sae Bom went in I was like D: but at least she's immune or something but then Yi Hyun going in?!

ah, we get to speak to Seung Hyun again, rip him being like "they were all crazy... will I become like that again?"

hm I think it's annoying when characters want other people to put their lives in danger to save a person the MC cares about - so I kinda get where Sae Bom's coming from that they should've tried to get Seung Hyun out but he was also a beginning-stage zombie and is on his way to becoming like those full on zombies and other people also got scratched/bit to stop his dumbassery so like - consequences of his own action

so yknow that woman that we briefly saw in Tae Seok's memory his wife/sister or anything? Did Yi Hyun's comment about family sting?

okay but the man with the mask who glares at people without masks is relatable though? why are you not wearing masks in elevators and why would you take off your mask to speak, that makes no sense

lmfao all these neighbours in the elevator together is giving me slight Strangers From Hell vibes. the cannibalistic desires will be unintentional later on whereas in SFH were very intentional lol

kljsadf Yi Hyun is so in love with her fr like he must be right? tbh he's better at hiding it than other main male leads because he doesn't do the longing stare as much but his actions... ah

pls Sae Bom's Yi Hyun's mom talking to them excitedly but Sae Bom and Yi Hyun being awkward lol

I like the girl from 401

Even the "noise from upstairs" reminds me of Strangers From Hell

why is she just going to check on the zombie woman without any backup or anything T.T like she doesn't have any weapons, it's not like at the police station or university facility where there were so many trained people

is that man giving incorrect address? 102 101 instead of 601?

this old lady having to live with her old husband whose first words to her are "why aren't you feeding me?!" and her useless son who says she doesn't have nunchi while doing a vlog around the house while she's just trying to tell them about the zombie woman from 601 is gonna be my breaking point fr

okay idk why him being so into her secretly is making me feel completely insane like at 39:28 when he looks away fast when she almost catches him watchiner her?! meltdown okay I don't think that's actually what happened, he looked in same direction as her but i'd paused too early cuz i died

i think it's funny when like every man in a drama is the Worst except our main male lead. Min ji's husband? a cheater and perhaps an abuser. the old lady's husband? deserves death for how he treats her. Seung Hyun? not the worst but greedy and reckless nonetheless. I don't trust the man who's the attorney in like 602 or smth and also Tae Seok is suspicious

damn Tae Seok wife still alive but is sleeping in 3C like all the other late stage zombies

oof yaeh mans sold it at Le Ciel - which is the gym where the people who bought their apartments (not leasers) took

oof so the apartment is gonna be quarantined. everybody trapped

alksdf them hugging

pls the arrested man running away while they're hugging

I don't really get the quarantine/trapped thing tbh like okay we're trying to trap the zombie people but it's like the middle of a day, possibly a weekday, aren't many of the people going to be at work or just outside?

Ep 4 (Mar 20)

damn so the woman that the dude was cheating with is also suspicious

no but i seriously love the way he says "Sae Bom-ah... I have to catch the man though..." but doesn't push her away or anything it's so cute idkidkidkkk

anyway, this man Yi Hyun's partner rice cake guy is fr gonna be trapped in this apartment too lol

poor dear little girl crying T.T and hiding it T.T

oof this awkward apartment meeting pls

Ahn Guk Jin/Andrew - is he gonna be just another regular guy and they're making Yi Hyun kinda suspect him to throw us off?

pls Sae Bom and Yi Hyun are lowkey cops who use their powers

Sae Bom's mother warned her against becoming like her and saying to be happy hm

okay hm so Tae Seok apparently assaulted the Chairman and so was let go of or smth but he and Chairman are clearly speaking and Chairman had recommended Tae Seok to some high position, so was the assault fake? he seems sick but not from the assault? and Tae Seok's saying the chairman released Next to the public

oh i see lmfao chairman is sick from Next, infected Tae Seok's wife by drinking her blood/biting her, now he released it into the wild because that means the cure would be found faster. He wasn't assaulted, he just went out of the limelight because he's such a zombie and they're just letting him eat people lmfao

the other buildings in the complex fucking them over, so Sae Beom using the gun to scare them and Mr rice cake guy tell Seo Yoon to not learn from it but her being delighted at how cool Sae Bom is

I can't remember who the people they showed in the montage buying Next at the gym were but was the business woman lady one of them? she's taking medicine but i can't see which

bro these last 6 mins? so who was the person infected? that was hunting down the people in the garage? i don't know who was got by them either. and Andrew just watching people being chased ah scary and the old lady was scratched as expected and Seo Yoon texting her mom oof

Sae Bom is very brash and impulsive and bold, I hope something bad happens due to it because it's a very big character flaw that needs to have consequences.

Ep 5 (Mar 20)

so we're gonna not have any follow up for who Sae Bom heard at the end of last ep?

ah the wifi and phone and TV all gone is actually fucked

these residents who aren't believing them that there was a real zombie and keep trying to open the door are actually killing me so bad

alkdsjf wtf not the mistress of the dermatology mans tryna play footsie with the attorney? i didn't like the attorney but is he also a cheater?

oof, true the zombies will become humans again

so the dealers are also all becoming zombies oof

lol the woman defending her older brother after hating on him this whole time is so funny and real

fuckkk the creep dermatologist possible murderer is offering 300k won (~300CAD) to someone who will figure out what's going on outside so of course the 2 cleaners and their Andrew are volunteering fuck this

oh the bastard's name is Oh Joo Hyung

scratch, bite, NEXT

ah the cleaner getting blood all over his gloved hands cuz there's blood on the door handle oh fuck also does touching the blood like that also infect your or anything? the short-haired woman didn't say so but yknow

oh damn the building representative and the gym suspect are siblings - that's his secret

Hyun going fucking whack on Joo Hyung is so satisfying, I actually need that man brutally murdered by the end for sure. like is the building representative the most irritating person? do i wanna slap that old man's neck who treats his wife like trash and has one braincell? yeah but Joo Hyung needs to die ripped apart piece by piece

no but acc I wish they came up with a way to give the people food and stuff even if it's like drop some food from an airplane or smth

Tae Seok had an emotional attachment to his wife and so wants this to end and there to be a cure but he's so good at being detached and not do the emotional-driven brash things Sae Bom or Yi Hyun do. He's such an interesting character with his ability to remain cold and put many above others (well it'd be diff if his wife was on the line I think) and how to navigate this situation in regards to what info to give to those officials about the antibody and how to instill fear and complicity in the protestors

Ep 6 (Mar 20/21)

ah 6 months ago. Tae Seok's wife speaking about the baby

oh yeah I forgot until now that Tae Seok at first was like 'hm medicine/pills? I don't think so' at Yi Hyun when he knew about Next the whole time

lol I also jumped a bit when he had the fast reaction when she startled Tae Seok

ooh what is Joo Hyung's mistress girly looking for? she's bypassing the money

please it's killing me so bad that Joo Hyung is pelting the gym guy (representative's dongsang) with balls and Yi Hyun is just watching

omg wtf gym mans really was infected, I really was also hoping that he wasn't infected and really didn't know lol rip but he was looking for those meds in the garage back then oof

oh gym mans name is Kim Seung Bom

lmfao them being like who’s gonna be the good cop bad cop and both wanting to the bad cop like you guys already areee bro

bruv not the attorney inviting joo hyung’s mistress and her hugging him and then his wife smelling her on his jacket a bit before getting distracted

joo hyung rlly got his hands on the Next polls in Seung Bom’s car agh

oof the building rep wants seung bom gone goddamn are they not siblings?

Andre didn’t vote i don’t think?

pls not the building rep being like i’m glad we don’t have to throw him out :>

miss girl attorney’s wife made the wrong choice marrying him rip

omg so the 1501 hazmat suit guy could become a zombie and he invited Sae Bom into his house bruhhh

the annoying blogger mans is so horrible

not the siblings fighting and leaving seung bom by themselves and also the brother is such a pos

bro so many things going on. letting zombies into the building bc of vlogger’s phone and writer girl watching her brother get bit and dragged away by one and seung bom boutta transform and sae bom is in 1501 hazmat’s house and he might also transform

why is 1501 being so crypticccc

Ep 7 (Mar 21)

ah fuck this creep mans almost getting Seo Yoon but she's a little smarticle, much more so than the dumbass adults

no novel writer pleaseeee don't fall for gym mans like be serious you saw your brother get bitten by a zombie why tf would you listen to this man begging rn and you didn't see him finish driving everything ah fuck

and when she goes to run away she goes to the parking lot?!?!

not Tae Seok coming in to kill the gym zombie

I know the novel lady is in shock after seeing her brother + seeing that guy get shot but one less person would've died if you hadn't given him the fucking handcuff keys so I'm too annoyed for sympathy right now

damn, does the priest's cross actually work?

I slightly got spoiled that Andrew isn't a good guy, I do wonder what he's hiding under the mask

I guess Seo Yoon reminds Tae Seok of his own possible child

I don't fully get why Tae Seok wants Seo Yoon to come outside now when previously he didn't?

Why is Joo Hyung so fucking happy I need him to die so bad at this city lockdown and martial law

I don't get why they don't want to tell people about Next now like it could make people sure to not take it, right?

damn bruv Tae Seok really wants to let a zombie bite Sae Bom to see if she can avoid turning after that

oh they cut out the gym zombie's brain - needed for antibody probably

the shot of Yi Hyun running down the stairs from outside of the building is so fun

so is the blood Sae Bom's? The zombie mans? Sae Bom did say Tae Seok didn't kill the guy, though he shot him. So did he bite Sae Bom? If not, wouldn't she have taken the blood test regardless in order to find a cure?

what exactly does the mistress woman want with the attorney

motherfucker Joo Hyung is putting Next is the water? he's gonna fucking try to get mistress to drink that water? his plan to kill her?

so is the mistress really actually wanting help to escape Joo Hyung and his murderous intent?

damn novel writer's brother is actually like? an upstanding person even after turning? like he's a zombie who left and has been staying out of the apartment building

ah fuck electricity off

oh yeah how will building representative and her husband use jeong gook and his power via gun due to his devotion to the priest

did joo hyung open the fucking door for novel writer's brother even though he didn't even want it?

tae seok is interesting - he wants to develop an antibody using Sae Bom but doesn't want higher-ups to get wind of it

Ep 8 (Mar 22)

ah she's hiding her infected brother in the abandoned 1102 apartment?

so did Joo Hyung mans do anything other than give the food? ah tried to convince him to come inside

Sae Bom is really brash with her actions since the beginning but it's been interesting to see how Yi Hyun is also getting slightly more brash or rude each episode

lmfao ya Yi Hyun, getting married was surely the right decision

calling it D-Day when it's supposed to be the last day of quarantine is ah

omg not the doctor guy giving everybody drinks? must be him and there must be Next in it

lmfao and he even got the building rep to lie that its hers

did joo hyung really think it'd be lifted td n he cud escape n avoid them

i get why the son is selfish enough to not want to stay in the same house as his mother when she could become a zombie again anytime but he really raided their food storage lmfao

so some ppl know sae bom was bitten

i wanna trust Andrew n will be sad if he's evil

lmfao Joo Hyung drank it but threw it all up but what's gonna happen to Yi Hyun? Sae Bom could be immune

okayyyyy I'm glad that the gym trainer telling Yi Hyun he's got Next in his car than Joo Hyung was asking about and Yi Hyun saying he'll "take care of it" has come around lol

so Yi Hyun had switched the pulls multiple episodes ago. Hope those Next pills are somewhere safe though

ah the jeong gook hyung this turning against Sae Bom and Yi Hyun with the guidance of religion isn't surprising at all

Tae Seok using these old rich men to "gather data" oof good, they literally injected themselves with a potential cure by sneaking it out but didn't know that the cure failed in the second trails dumbasses

oof Tae Seok's wife Young In is awake and speaking now

Ep 9 (Mar 22/23)

they're really quarantining them to the apartment so that they can't meddle oof

lol Yi Hyun being like it's okay Seo Yoon, they're not all mean just mostly scared EXCEPT Joo Hyung or whatever, he's the devil

ah they're so dramatic, making their hands bleed

Joo Hyung dropped his knife

but I wish Yi Hyun dropped his knife

oof rip grocery girl

oh yeah we're still looking for a bloodied towel, I thought it would've been the novel writer and her brother but maybe it's the old woman who knows or somebody else infected

bro wtf why was the priest boutta lick the blood off the floor? is he just fucked in the head or is he also a zombie to be and that's why those other zombies didn't wanna eat him? <- maybe Andrew is that way too

please I'm actually dying at how cutely Yi Hyun's trying to defend himself and his decisions and saying he's fine despite the cut and Sae Bom's so mad that he did that

oh I see so there's a mutation where they only show their zombie-self when they timely want to + Tae Seok thinks it's probably occurred in Seyand Forest already (it happens when a lot of the zombies are at one place?), so I'd guess the priest is that way + maybe grandma old lady? idk

I have 15 mins before class so I was like Ill watch some before then but I watched 3 ads, moved to 35 mins, watched 3 ads, watched 15 secs, watched 3 ads like vikiiii brooooo

is the pastor not being attacked because he’s devout and spiritual or because he’s also a zombie oh jeong gook my guy

is the pastor gonna lick the blood on the wall do it do it do it

oh he’s drinking so much water

lmfao his smiley blood mouth

so the pastor was the one who had the bloody towel thrown away

oh this lady loves the possibility of being the resident representative so much. wouldn’t even let her husband go to the gym to isolate, she wants him in their room

lmfao this priest literally ran outside and is wreaking havoc on residents so funny i want him to kill joo hyung so bad

plsssss not joo hyung listening to attorney and his mistress having sex and them putting their clothes on with excuses while mans locks himself in a room so funny

yi hyun making his hand bleed again so funny

can jeong gook come with his fucking gun hes so useless fr

lmfaooo jeong gook managed to get priest to throw himself off the balcony

of course she’s gonna say sae bom and yi hyun killed him

mistress is looking for Oh Joo Hyung’s bitcoin account password - is that tattoo on his arm his password lol that’d be funny

Yi Hyun has a lot of insight on the fear of somebody infected not wanting to tell, i guess it’ll come in handy later when he also probably gets infected

i should be more annoyed at Yi Hyun being jealous over Sae Bom and 1501 but i’m just like hehe cute

Han Tae Seok crying at his wife’s bedside

save the mother obviously if it’s baby vs mother

oh the hand washing in the sink water is

oh lmfao the words of wisdom came from Yi Hyun already being scratched the day before, not for future

Ep 10 (Mar 23)

bro so many things: 1501’s penthouse seems suspicious and ominous, Yi Hyun scratched, Tae Seok lying by saying Sae Bom doesn’t have antibodies and keeps wanting Seo Yoon out for some reason (is he gonna fucking experiment on her or something)

oh 1501 captured? or did he leave? was forced to leave? i wish they’d also check the roof maybe

oh is the door beside their building open so that zombies can leave? is that was Tae Seok was talking about last ep? or two eps ago

okay it is very possible Andrew saw him leave because Andrew watched everything from balconies and roofs (also is he infected too? since the zombies had walked through a door bc he said so?) but that one reddit comment had made it seem like he’s up to no good later on in the show so did he capture 1501

Joo Hyung still wears his wedding band also did he really not see attorney and mistress together or he’s just pretending? i’d guess the latter. also he surely wants from her and she’s also wanting his bitcoin password

Yi Hyun and his water ah also people have all been noticing his weirdness like Tae Seok in the walkie talkie and Joo Hyung in 1501 apartment

ah Yi Hyun sitting and thinking about moments with Sae Bom

noona ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

pls literally alskdja attorney and mistress having sex in 1102 for a sec i was like ?!1501 with zombie man??? D:

is 1501 dead or smth why are there flies

oh my fucking god somebody bit and killed the old cleaning lady and covered her with the lime powder in 1501 house

asking oh joo hyung for help is so

lmfao pls they even went to the dead body room but left cuz it smelled

where did i previously see the guy go plays novel writer’s brother. true beauty? no… but he’s familiar somehow

lol was Andrew gonna actually run away with the food or what

also what happened to like vlogger and his parents

oh his wife Young In.

i wish they’d just somehow tell Sae Bom to come in and give blood like she would do it for sure

damn vlogger finally has enough of a heart to give his parents food. though i wish he’d tell sae bom and yi hyun to give his parents two head counts of food instead lol

are we gonna finally find out if andrew is good or not like i’ve had sort of confirmation that there’s something off about him since like ep 4 on-air thread or smth so pls

well no proper confirmation but ominous music while Andrew sits on 1501’s throne so

oh yi hyun can control his turning this like the mutated zombies

did oh joo hyung know about the generator electricity from 1501?

the cleaning husband is so annoying

goddamn yi hyun healing too fast so cutting his palm

i thought Tae Seok told there to be a way for zombies to leave will we ever come back to that? i thought maybe 1501 left that way but seems not

more Andrew lore nowwww pls

not the flu in EPS door

oh Ahn Guk Jin/Andrew is not who he says he is

oh fuck 1501 dead and stored in EPS by Andrew. he killed cleaning lady too and he killed another man whose identity he presumed

oh fuck poor Seo Yoon

oh the way all the neighbours are standing in front of the door with their bags is so Strangers From Hell

are we supposed to know him when he takes off his madb? Andrew?

a serial killer, wasn’t expecting that but interesting. so he’s been just going around slashing people in the middle of this zombie apocalypse.

Ep 11 (Mar 23)

some of these fuckers knew Andrew was threatening people or killing them broooo death fr

fucker is taking Seo Yoon?

is Yi Hyun gonna be able to be able control himself around all this Jeong Gook blood

these people are so fucked in the head like i get survival mode maybe but Joo Hyung and Building Rep rlly planned on how Andrew will kill sae bom and yi hyun

oh Andrew with the hammer and bloody hand on his conquered throne

Yi hyun realizing that he too is probably gonna turn out the same way as the zombies

why have we not had a single satisfying kill yet like the vlogger had stopped being a pos a while ago so them surrounding his unstarting car was just horrifying

the cleaner husband genuinely has rocks for brains like everybody dumb for working with Andrew but he’s yelling that “Andrew is a nobody” 2 metres away from him like be fr

she knows about his zombienes now

ooh she confessed

joo hyung tryna fucking kill jeong gook with a pillow

lmfao pls the blockchain stuff attorney keeps spouting

yeeee attorney wife !!

but also i’m nervous that andrew can see the elevator going up and down

bro jeong gook is bleeding don’t let bo ram grocery girl close to him

not this old video confession to sae bom

Ep 12 (Mar 23)

final ep ah

oh Seo Yoon getting to see her mom after so long

i kinda get it, kinda don't like they're using up the antibodies on the wife and Seo Yoon's mom

okay she's saying there'll be other people with the antibodies but ??? man idgi how will you find these people and when?

why did they change clothes

"I always knew we had a connection" wow lesbianism

please this beating up funny lass

I don't get it like okay I get being emotional over your beloveds but you kinda do need to see people as numbers when it's come to this like how to get the least people killed even if it means killing a few people to make sure more people don't die like idkkkk with the cure being used, more people are obviously gonna die and stuff right? am i wrong? is the cure like non-reproducible unless it comes directly from Sae Bom's body and she has no more left? but shouldn't they try?

oh please please I hope they all tear each other apart and rip each other limb by limb

lmfaooooo please Joo Hyung doing all this when he's not even a zombie yet, just sane and munching on people so funny

please why is this episode randomly so funny like the brother-sister author zombie argument about blood-drinking

everybody taking pulls, like the cleaning wife feeding it to his husband

oh she really beat Andrew dead with a bat that's pretty fun she's so fucked in the head

oh she didn't succeed in beating him dead

pls Joo Hyung clutching the notebook like a child

there's only 30 mins left, what's gonna happen?

lol the building representative laughing is pretty fun

why is Joo Hyung so funny, him wanting to be but unable to become a zombie is so funny

kiss tiny peck

pls not the attorney calling Soo Yoon after treating her like trash and cheating on her and everything

lol the loss in bitcoin is expected

lmfao that's really funny the old couple and vlogger family being like wow they could knock on our door right now and the soldiers really do lol

pls the way they're taking away the novelist's brother is pretty funny

the way the cleaners are literally so fucked in the head with greed and stuff

all of them really are like the fucking building representative wanna lady is really wild her mental breakdown has been pretty fun

lol ofc Andrew in 1501. yknow he doesn't have any actual reasoning like why does he wanna kill these 2 501 folks so badly compared to the other people in the apartment?

6 minutes left they're not gonna kill off Hyun right now right like they won't right? that makes no sense right? no they wouldn't right? the soldiers are in the building and they're taking novelist brother antibody carrier so he can't actually die right? I feel like it would've ben more dramatic if so

bruh Building Rep Wannabe and Joo Hyung on trial ah

oh it's been a year

bro what I feel like there's some scenes missing hmmm I should go see what scene tVN has that's not in Viki <- couldn't find anything

Overall:

Good but not great. I liked the first quarter and last quarter most because there was more action and things happening, whereas the middle half was slower, had less action, and was more people-based. There were different characters and they had distinct personalities and circumstances and I like the fucked-in-the-head neighbours trope but most of the side characters were pretty one-dimensional. I also wish we got to see some actual proper satisfying murder.

The romance was barely there but it was still cute. I liked how comfortable they were with each other and I liked the platonic/non-romantic moments as well. Usually, I don't like it when the male lead forcefully moves around or orders the female lead but it's not too bad this time because I think 1) they're friends and it kinda makes sense if friends are so aggressive and 2) she kinda does the same to him, though more with words and less manhandling.

Love you too, idiot (Android 17 x Reader)

I might have based this story on a irl incident with my crush except we didn't end up together. sip tea No I'm not sad start sobbing

Its been a while since I have seen dbz and dbs so 17 is a bit of a mix of tfs 17 and canon 17, in short ooc

Warning: swearing and a bit of ooc

Genre: fluffy fluff

"The stars are not in position tonight…" I said as I stared into the sky forlornly,

"What the fuck are you saying, it's the middle of the day right now." was 17's response as he stared at me in both concern and confusion,

"Shush 17, I'm trying to act all mysterious and stuff…"

Hearing this response 17 raised an eyebrow at me.

"…and I don't want to do the chore."

"Oh for fuck sake, (y/n) we have the chore chart for a reason!!!"

"But 17, think of the children!”

"What children?!”

"…oh right…. I mean think of the animal 17!”

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

So the following scenario above is a daily occurrence here at the wildlife preserve area of this park somewhere on a big island. Look in my defense I'm not good with names and I'm just here for the animal, who gives a shit about the park name. The person you heard earlier is my bf 17. Bf stands for best friend not boyfriend, don't get it wrong because we're not together and I don't have a crush on him ahahaha.

My name is (y/n) I'm a zoologist that started researching the animal here a year ago. Me and 17 for some odd reason hit it off immediately, considering he beat the living shit out of a bunch of poachers the first day I got here, and we have been best friends ever since.

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

I patched up the hurt wolf as 17 beat up yet another group of poachers.

Odd how they still come here after being beaten up by 17 every single time. But whatever 17 looks awfully hot as he beats people up, thank god I don't have a crush on him. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen my morals in a while, so I should go find it.

"Hey, (y/n) I'm done, you want pizza or something?"

"Okay you're good now, run along and be careful next time, k?" I pet the wolf before turning around to answer "Sure why not?"

Again thank god I don't like him

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

"I will be back in about a week. Do you need anything?"

"Don't be dumb, anything I need I will be able to get within an hour." 17 rolled his eyes as he leaned on a tree,

"I'm sorry not all of us can fly, dude. See you in a week then." I said with a wink, but before I walked into the plane, suddenly feeling courageous I turned around and ran up to him and held out my arm, "How about a hug?"

"Sure" 17 wrapped his arm around me and started patting my back,

It would have been a sweet moment if it wasn't for the increasingly hard pat he was giving me on the back.

"Okay, okay let's kill you." I said as I tried to get out of his hug regrettably as I needed to leave soon and I was only 50 percent sure he was not trying to kill me,

With a smile 17 let me go and said,

"See you… what's that phrase? Oh right, see you when I see you again."

"Bye, 17! Don't miss me too much!"

I don't like him

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

I was shopping with my old friend 18 who I have known for a few year when she suddenly ask,

"Soooooo (y/n), why were you so close to my brother?"

Cut to me elegantly choke on my bubble tea. Oh who am I kidding, it was a mess.

"I'm sorry what?! Your brother?! Who's your brother?!"

18 raised her eyebrow at me and slowly said,

"Uh 17? You know the guy you have been working with?”

"17 your brother?" I ask in genuine confusion,

"Yes? We're twins, we look similar, and we have similar names, how do you not know?"

How did I not notice?!?!

"Because I'm dense and slow. We're just friends slash coworkers tho." I said as I mindlessly bit on my straw

Oh hey, look at my morals! Haven't seen you in a while.

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

I was reading my book when I got distracted by 17 singing to himself. I slowly put down my book to focus on his singing. After a while I open my eye, and said,

"You know you have a nice singing voice."

Hearing my compliments 17 look surprised,

"Thank you? Also I know you mean it genuinely, but you sound sarcastic you know?"

"Oh fuck off, 17"

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

17 was looking at me writing down my research when he suddenly said,

"You know when you told me my singing was nice? Funny story, I told 18 about it, and apparently Krillin heard about it. Later he called back to tell me to ask you out."

I choked a bit on air before asking why,

17 laughed before saying,

"He said the only time a girl says that is when they like the person, also 18 said my singing is terrible." Pausing 17 shrugged before continuing, "I said no tho, because I don't think I'm your type anyway, but it's a funny story nonetheless.”

I laughed and brushed it off, not answering the question, but deep down I was having a panic attack.

HOW DOES HE KNOW?! WHAT THE FUCK?!?! DOES DYING GIVE HIM PSYCHIC POWER?!?!

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

I thought my life would stay the same, until a man named Goku landed and told us about a tournament where the fate of the entire universe lay on. He invited 17 and after receiving a promise that he can get any wish if he wins, 17 agreed to compete in the tournament.

Minutes before the tournament started, 17 walked toward me and held out his arm,

"How about a hug for luck?"

Seeing my hesitation he smirk,

"Come on, I'm not gonna try to kill you again."

Hearing this I let out a complaint about how he was actually trying to kill me last time, before hugging him and burying my face in his chest. After a while, he let go and with a goodbye, he started to walk toward the stage. Seeing him walk away, and after a while of mental tug of war I took a deep breath it's now or never, who knows, I might not even live through this

"HEY 17, AFTER THIS I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!"

17 did a little backward wave thing before flying toward the stage and the tournament officially started.

Please come back

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

17 have won. But just as I expected him to make a wish about that giant cruise he wanted, he turned around to look at me before turning back. What happened afterward was a blur as he wished back the rest of the universe and everyone started celebrating.

-─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙⋆˚｡⁺⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─-

17 walk up to me with a drink in hand and asked,

"What did you want to tell me?"

Oh fuck he remember

"Nothing!" I answered a little too quickly before changing the subject, "What about the cruise?"

"Bulma promised me one, also don't change the subject.”

"No, I'm not!" I protest,

"Then what is it?"

Looking up I realized he was staring at me quite intently, and suddenly I was beyond nervous. I considered just lying or something, but staring into his beautiful blue eyes, I couldn't. So I took a deep breath and braced myself for rejection before saying,

"I LOVE YOU!!!"

Okay, maybe it was more like I yelled it.

"I love you too." 17 said before pulling me into his arms,

"I know I know, I'm sor- wha?"

Laughing at my dumbfound face he lean down and whispered again,

"I said I love you too, you idiot"

Someone in the distance shouted

"GET A ROOM YOU TWO!!!"

"Fuck off, asshole!" 17 shouted before turning back and patting my head," You good? Is (y/n).exe working?”

By this point my face is probably on fire and I can’t really breathe, so like a normal person I buried my face into his chest, so I can hope to die of suffocation. So for your answer, no, (y/n).exe is not working.

No, I don't like him, I love him

waitwait. zombie au mika again.

imagine if the virus is actually suuuper slow. you're never 100% sure if you have it or not (unless you get bitten, of course, but through other means? the uncertainty could kill...) until it sets in, and by then you're doomed. so. mika gets a wound. everyone brushes it off - it's just a little scratch, nothing to worry about! weeks, months go by. nothing has happened, and everyone has relaxed. mika will be fine! until he wakes up and the wound that he thought was just a scar has started to rot. and then he knows. he's doomed. he was infected from that first moment, and now that there's symptoms? there's no salvation for him. where does he go from there? does he try to live out his last few days as a human peacefully? say goodbye to his friends and loved ones? beg his friends, the producer, anyone to kill him before it spreads further? before he loses himself and his mind? does he simply disappear one day, leaving everyone panicked and worried until one day they see a familiar-looking zombie with mismatched eyes?

[Inhales] ... like rabies... by the time you see the symptoms it's too late. First of all, I thought about zombie virus biology soooooo much in all the years I've lived knowing ab zombies as someone prone to overthinking so let me give you a few ideas. Cut because I realised this got too long BDBDBSBS

Personally, I love TWD's idea of "everyone's infected, if you die and the brain isn't destroyed - you're becoming a zombie" aka the "the bite is really just highly effective venom that does you in, but your fate is sealed either way" theory. Although what enstars is doing fits Dead Rising a bit better, I think. Or actually Project Zomboid where if you got bitten by one while playing, you'd basically have a timer... like you could continue playing, but you were scheduled to die because of that bite. I thought that was a cool concept. But also because of Mitsuru's line especially I think the epilogue will be "lol get prank'd Producer" so who cares + it's an AU + ratio. But to the TWD theory .... if I may build upon it (this is all for this specific ask btw i prommy i'm not just saying this for no reason), if the bite is just powerful venom transferred by bodily fluids like saliva and blood (and this is what bothered me about zombie media that implied this - nobody ever cares ab zombie-bloodied weapons coming into contact with their open wounds!! You can get hepatitis like that, nevermind zombified!!) then we can assume that any mixing of a zombie's bodily fluids with your own could cause you to contract the virus. So, for example, if you grow desperate enough to eat a zombie? Prion disease is the least of your worries. Or - in Mika's case?

I think. I'm sorry I love making him cry. I think Mika is a very emotional person. He's a slave to his emotions, he's impulsive, he's prone to panicking. In a zombie apocalypse, you'll have plenty opportunity to get cuts, whether you don't know how to properly wield some tools or weapons, or you're trying to traverse terrain/climb objects or, fuck it, you just accidentally cut yourself on a thorn or whatever. Mika is clumsy. Mika cannot see in the dark. Mika absolutely slashes open his arm on a fence trying to climb it while running away. He returns from the supply run covered in tears and snot because he's hurt badly. Faints from bloodloss badly. But they question him (you didn't get bitten or torn by a zombie, did you?) and he swears he didn't, the reason his arm is fucked is because he didn't let himself get bit. So they wait it out. Let me be cruel. They don't give him painkillers or patch him up until they're certain he's not infected - because why waste supplies on a dead man?

But what Mika didn't know is that zombies got cut up on that fence, too. It was a dangerous fence. When he slashed his arm open, all the bacteria got in. The dormant virus got in. First he becomes delirious when his arm gets infected, just, in general. Because they didn't treat it. He's begging and pleading to just give him an antibiotic or at least cut his arm off because he can't take the burning pain anymore. And the Producer probably takes pity and sneaks him antibiotics and treats him as well as they can. He's thanking them, still feverish, still delirious, straight up crying of relief. He promises them he's not infected, that they didn't waste the supplies and that he's so thankful.

He recovers - somewhat. Idk how long someone would take to recover, but they'd have a (flawed) understanding of the virus and have an approx. timespan when they'd think they're safe (FAVE part ab zombie media - when they think they know but they don't) so Mika gets released from quarantine, properly treated (and Producer gets side-eyed) and apologised to. And they think they're fine! He's recovering! They thought he was going to lose that arm, but he's actually doing okay, he can't use it well, the nerves and tendons are damaged, but he's getting by with help.

Maybe even months pass. He's smiling and laughing, he's bonding. Producer has become his best friend. They're having fun! And then one night when he's checking over his arm (he's mourning it, really, he's noticing he's losing feeling in it bit by bit, he knows he'll have to lose the arm even if he hasn't told anyone), he sees... skin chipping off. Rotting off. His heart drops into his stomach. How could this have happened? Since it was his dominant arm, they didn't even let him do supply runs again unaccompanied, there was no way he got bit?!

But it was undeniable. His hand was rotting. He checks himself over for other symptoms they were aware of. Rot. Weakness. Fatigue. Losing feeling of limbs. Slow healing. Sensitivity to the cold. Mika freaks the fuck out. He can't live out his last few days peacefully because he's hyperaware of the fact that they're his last days. There's so much he hasn't done yet! Saying goodbye to his loved ones? No way, no way. He can't burden them like that. He cries a lot. He cries so much. But he knows his days are numbered and he knows he's a danger to his friends if he stays in the camp. But he trusts the Producer. His best friend. He asks them to go on a supply run with him.

He's keeping his arm gauzed up as he leads them into the woods - he saw some abandoned camp there, he says. Deep into the woods. He asks them if they could go back to the camp on their own, without his help. They say they remembered the route - he was going straight and was marking trees with his own blood anyway. (They thought it was morbid, Mika thought "Hey, I'm not gonna need it, might as well".) He asks them if they have a weapon on them, one preferably silent that won't attract zombies. They have an axe. His breath hitches. He'd hoped for a knife, but alright.

He shows them his rotting arm. "Ya hafta do me in."

The Producer might take mercy on him and (try to) land a clean cut. (That's not happening. The axe is rusty, beheading him would take two-three swings, but they could just split his head in half.) But do they have the stomach for it? To kill their best friend so violently? But he's begging so desperately. Do they have the stomach to deny him, to leave him crying, scared, alone until he succumbs to the virus on his own in those woods? Do they... tie him up to a tree? Sit next to him? Hold his hand as he takes his final breaths? Hear him pleading with nobody, begging for it all to be a nightmare, that he'll wake up tomorrow, by Oshi-san calling him because he's late to rehearsal, that he'll see all his friends who've passed on... that he's scared of dying? Hear him chanting "I'm scared, please, I don't wanna die"? Would they squeeze his hand, trying to comfort him however futile it might be? Would "I'm right here with you" even comfort him?

When he passes, they could destroy his brain to make sure he doesn't come back. Or they could leave him be. They could honour his wish, or they could seek their own comfort in a foolish belief that a zombified Mika would mean there was still a little bit of Mika left in the world. Maybe one day, they'll find a cure. If not to return him to his human state, then at least to let him pass on. They'll give him a proper funeral then.

I know I complain about femslash convenience shipping like, once a month lol. I simply resent when people use sapphic pairings to remove a female character from the narrative while trying to maintain #progressive façade more than any other technique lol, trying to look good while really managing to NOT having to engage with the character in any meaningful way rme (like, if you like those f/f ships soooooo much, where’s all the fic and edits and meta you’re making about them... where they’re not the cutesy background ship to your real interest rme).

but another reasons why I hate it SOOOOO much that I might’ve not talked about as much yet is how often these pairings just... rely on not engaging with the actual character in any way. as in, not with their CANON PERSONALITIES. because they’re basically just two names pulled out of a hat for these fans, without actually thinking about how those characters would realistically react to each other.

like I’m all for rareships and I love it when one just *clicks*, and I know things are subjective and some I see possible others would see as ridiculous (I’m the one in the right tho, ofc xD)... but it’s not like it’s the first time I see a convenience ship between women who haven’t/barely met each other in canon and think “jfc, these two would be opposed to EVERYTHING the other stood for, how can you say with a straight face they’d act like blushing high school girls with her first crush towards each other while they play matchmakers to YOUR slash ship???”

maybe convenience shipping is not the only problem here; part of it is how people just... homogenize? romance in fandom. see how, no matter what a canon dynamic is like, ao3 will just be filled with Idiots to Lovers Silent Mutual Pining Dumbasses stuff. but I feel that for convenience ships, ESPECIALLY f/f, fans just put the least effort possible into building a compelling, in-character dynamic (because they don’t really give a fuck about them, duh), and this is the result.

it’s just so insulting to me on every level how often I see this not-even-half-assed attempts to look Very Feminist while actually not giving a shit about the female characters in question. I think I just preferred it when the woman getting in the way of the fan favourite ship was called mean names, at least it was more honest rme.

#you're not obligated to like every female character jsyk. and if you don't just. don't force yourself to/lie about it #it's ridiculous #and it leads to such dishonest fandom bullshit #i can't stand it lmao #talking to the void #my thoughts #bitter lau tag #convenience shipping #fandom nonsense

These are my... 2...? Maybe 50, cents about the whole "freejk" thing. I'm gonna be extremely petty and at some points a whole lot sarcastic and it's gonna be long but I had to say it. As soon as I get my computer I'm gonna make it under read more, but the app does whatever it wants, as we know.

Listen, this ain't my first fan rodeo, and not even the first fan rodeo where I've been directly or indirectly accused of being some sort of pervert or delulu. I've been in fandom spaces since I was a teen, I was shipping mlm couples when queerbaiting in TV shows was still something that was seen as the norm rather than some cheap disgusting trick. I was there when fanfic spaces saw "slash" fics as something "different" and to be tagged with a more mature rating even when they just looked at each other.

I was in BBC's Sherlock's fandom and I shipped Johnlock during the hiatus between S3 and S4, at this point I'm not even feeling it when people call me delulu or a weirdo.

So, yeah, take this with a grain of salt: as a person who has seen thousands of times fandom drama unfolding and has lived too much of it... This whole situation is so ridiculous it makes me laugh. Like, yeah, it's maddening how people will blame anyone and everyone because they don't even see their own bias and homophobia, granted, but like... It also makes me laugh for the sheer dumbassery of the reasoning behind it all?

Like... Y'all are getting mad and for what? Because it sure as hell isn't the invasion of privacy, since y'all are watching the same content we're all watching and you're paying to see it the same way everyone else is. If you don't want to "invade their privacy", you should just... Stop watching content that isn't their music videos, RUN episodes or interviews. Memories and any kind of dvd/video that shows what they're doing behind the scenes shouldn't be part of their job as musicians, and therefore we're intruding in their privacy... Or aren't we?

Or maybe it's more nuanced than that: maybe the content they release on dvd/on their official channels is part of their job as entertainers, and it's been approved, and it's a small window THEY are granting us.

You know what's the REAL invasion of privacy and what REALLY invalidates someone autonomy? When you, who maybe aren't even paying to see that content (which is something I understand, like, dude, I'm not covered in money either), DEMAND what kind of behind the scenes content you want when I swear ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has asked you. Once again: you don't like it? You think it's some huge invasion of privacy? Don't buy it. Don't interact with it. Convince your friends to do the same. For all I care, just go and petition to boycott this kind of content. I know you won't do it, because... That's the thing, isn't it? It's not the invasion of privacy that bothers these people.

Y'all aren't mad because we get into their business or else you would have gotten real mad when we were privy to REAL private moments like people crying their hearts out.

No, no. Y'all are mad because it's "shipping content" and "fanservice" which apparently bothers you because it lacks authenticity.

Pick a side, lovelies: either you DON'T want to invade their privacy, and thus all the content they release should be focused on what fans want to see, or you WANT to know how they interact TRULY in private.

And here's the catch: "shipping content" can be anything. Shipping existed WAAAAAYYY before the word for it was invented, same way with fanfictions. Shipping means, literally, "seeing two (or more) people interact and thinking they would make a good romantic pair". That's it. That's quite literally it. Everything else is just some nuance of the concept of shipping, but at its core, it's nearly impossible to ban all shipping content when it's a group of seven people, because they should for real go in social distancing mode to do so. Most people who have parasocial relationships tend to have "ships" whether they know it or not, because we've all, at least once, looked at a dynamic from the outside and thought "oh man they look cute together". So, even if, o dear ones, your wishes were granted... What the hell do you mean by "shipping" content? Should they just film solo clips, avoiding talking about the other members? But wouldn't that be fanservice, since it's focused on pleasing the fans? (Which, ultimately, is what fanservice MEANS, and I hate to break it to y'all but the whole concept behind entertainment and thus all the content BTS releases it's... For the fans. Like, they're not going out of their way to just meet our expectations but they're certainly doing fanservice by the mere act of releasing bonus content.)

But it's not even quite that, is it? Because no one bats an eye if it's Tae kissing Nj's cheek. I've seen no hashtag against everyone - and I mean literally every one of them - wolf whistling at Nj. It's okay to show intimacy... Because they're bandmates and it's okay to be close to someone who you see basically 24/7, I hear you. And it's also okay when people see that and gush over that closeness, because it's such a nice thing to see.

Soooooo... We've got to free JK from whom exactly? From what?

Are y'all mad cause people pointed out there's very little way a bruise that stayed for a whole ass night could be a quick bite? Because that doesn't harm jk, at most makes fun of him and jimin and their poor excuses (seriously, guys, next time consider using mosquitoes or "I was doing stuff". It'll be equally embarrassing but at least the meme will be funny), and it's literally... A fair observation. Like. It's a hickey, people are gonna make jokes about seeing a hickey and poor excuses of covering it up in the exact same way they're gonna make jokes over jimin falling out of chairs. And yeah, a hickey is AT LEAST something that happens in a sensual context. Like, I could understand "people who are extremely familiar with each other will have different body language/touch in areas where usually you wouldn't see friends touching each other", but that's not. Not a hand on the thigh. It's a hickey on the neck. I don't even know a more stereotypical placing for a hickey. But once again, are y'all mad because someone is pointing it out? Because that's not being delulu or even being a shipper, really, it's just commenting on something that was approved to be shown and discussed in something that was released BY THEM.

Are y'all mad at hybe for showing something that literally fell onto their hands? Cause like, unless someone (I'm counting on Jimin, since as we know Jungkook was busy spinning him round and round and had both his hands busy) called at hybe headquarters to say "yo bang pd substitute, is it okay if I give my friend jk here a hickey? Cause he's being really annoying rn and he has to pay", I highly doubt anyone expected Jungkook to come to rehearsal all neatly marked up. Or idk, maybe someone at hybe asked them "we need Jungkook to come in with a hickey but refuse to say it's a hickey, so that fans will feel reeeeally served." That sounds perfectly plausible too. Or a good marketing strategy.

Now, if you're a big company and your objective is to have some footage of the rehearsals for a concert, and the fandom is too good at noticing stuff for their own good, and one of your artists comes in with a very visible mark, and he and his bff bropal4lyfe come n with a story about how they were playing and a bite happened, you've got three choices: 1. Cut the artist out of aaaaalll the footage. Someone would have noticed the "bite mark" anyway, you best believe that. If you don't want anyone to notice it, you gotta cut him in most of the footage where it's visible. 2. Keep the hickey, discard the explanations. You could do that, but also it would feel a lot more unfaithful to everyone involved. Also they clearly worked their ass off to invent an explanation, come on! They truly tried to do their best inventing something that was not "it's a mosquito bite", they should get some credit! 3. Keep the bite, keep the explanation.

Notice how none of these solutions include the biting never happening because... They couldn't prevent it? The only thing they have any control over is how they're framing each "accident". And that's not an easy job.

I applaud you, people on the editing team.

So... On whom should we cast the blame now? Ah, yes, I think it's finally time for the ultimate scapegoat of this fandom: Jimin. Which is funny, cause... You know... If this were really about privacy, or being "victims" of shipping... This should be about freeing him too, you know? But obviously Jimin does it for attention, while Jungkook, poor angel that he is, doesn't even know what shipping is.

Furthermore, don't we all know how much Jimin imposes himself in Jungkook's life? To the point where he, multimillionaire man feels compelled to share a car with Jimin even if they're both late in the process. And can't you see how uncomfortable he is, draping himself over Jimin, making Jimin drap himself over him?

Oh lordy, truly such an awful eight years Jungkook spent, choosing to have vacations with someone who made him uncomfortable, spending free time with him, even having to suck his ear in public to the point you can see his saliva just because Jimin was sad :( truly an all-around bad time for Jungkook, as evidenced by alllll those times when he said Jimin was pretty, cute, and all-around knowing every little thing about Jimin. I absolutely concur, the dude would be so much more happy if jimin was not in his life.

Did that sound weird and absolutely ridiculous and a really absurd joke? Because that's what y'all sound like to me. Like. Jungkook is out there living his best life, getting hickeys and showered in affection and y'all paint him as a fucking martyr??? I'm sure he's really truly desperate that Jimin holds him in such high regards 😭😭😭 I can see him suffering whenever he starts doing his own serendipity rendition 😭😭 and when he claimed you are me, I am you as his and Jimin's only 😭😭😭 I cannot believe this poor baby 😭😭😭

I've reached a point where every time I hear this stuff I laugh because the levels of twisting reality when it comes to jikook are extraordinary, Jungkook will have a literally blissed out face and people will cry in outrage.

But coming back to my point: let's pretend you're not mad at Jimin and the possibility that jikook are dating: are y'all mad... At the hickey? Because at this point it seems like the only feasible solution. And if you are, do not worry: I'm sure Jungkook's skin was throughly healed by his boo. A kiss soothes even the worst pain, doesn't it?

#jikook #that freejk dumbassery

LMFAO well u never know who’s looking for mpreg lol but it’s out there if u want it! And ahhh yeah slash was just how we referred to any m/m fic so it was incorporated into many names lol I was out of the loop for quite a few years so I’m not sure when that word fell off but I still find myself calling it that a lot of the time

i think i associate slash w pre-2010 fan content which especially in the fic world tended to be SOOOOOO good…… i miss words like bandslash. femslash. preslash. if a fic was old enough to use that terminology u knew it was about to be so well written. i mean obviously im glad were in an era where gay is the default so no one has to “warn” for slash but damn if those lj girlies werent writing the next great american love stories

#mail time!

dream diary 1

dreams are boring so I’ll keep this short. I’ve been having super fucked up dreams. Like soaking my bed in sweat, crying in the middle of my sleep until I wake up. this isn’t one of them though.

last night: me and an undisclosed person fell in love. we were even sitting there talking about HOW WE PRODUCE MUSIC. like....ok. Then, of course, I see my ex and some of our mutual friends. I express my hatred for said ex (dont actually hate him duh) and they all look at me in disbelief. The ceilings were leaking and the inside of the house was flooding. Grimes was playing on stage and she tried to use a children's toy piano to perform and she was so bad we all walked out of the room. I was soooooo happy to be in love. There was small moments in the dream where I would find my friend slash lover and we would melt into each other. And I woke up and wanted to cry and cryyyyyy I.E. I (all of us bitches) am super fucked up. like, how can people who are so psychologically ruined be expected to handle oxytocin in a responsible way?? im an addict. ��But seriously i feel pretty mezzed up in the head- social media self sabotage slash bills stacking taller than me (I’m only five foot but whatever) slash abandonment issues heaps of trauma blah blah blah. The normal stuff! Pretty sure we’re all kinda screwed up, but for some people it’s stitched way down deep and the psychos like me can’t shut up about how insane it is that everyone on the planet doesn’t blow their brains out. How could we be expected to find like romantic monogamous love?

I will never stop dreaming of a soul mate because I will never stop wishing to be loved and adored and objectified. I want that sweeeeeeet oxytocin

#they tried to make me go to rehab but I said no no no

"You Owe Me"

No Warning. Just cuteness :)

Chapter 4 "Family"

When we get down stairs I see Ivy sitting on the counter, infront of Brooke, playing with....... a.. fake.. hand?.

She turns to me and I give her a little smile and I ask "You havin fun sweet pea"

She nods "One of them have 2 boys. Brookie watches them when their dad is busy"

Jax "My sons"

I turn to look at him and he Continues "Able and Thomas"

"When did that happen"

"Found out 2 months after you left she was pregnant"

I just stare at him because I feel like there's more to it. "Thomas is Tara's"

I look at him like he grew three heads.

He laughs "Yeah. A lot has changed since you've been gone"

I nod my head as I turn back to look at Ivy "Yeah. It has"

"How old is she" I hear barely above a whisper beside but also behind me. I turn to see

Chibs. Looking at Ivy in adoration. He's probably thinking about his daughter. I smile and say "5"

"So she's in school" Tig ask

"Not yet because of her birthday"

"Well looks like Able's got a new friend"

"Or Girlfriend"

Chibs and Happy both say "No" and the same time, staring holes through Rat

"Why are they mad" Ivy ask

"They don't want you to have a boyfriend" I say

"What if I want a boyfriend"

Happy and Chibs faces soften as they look at her

"You don't need one" I say

"But what if I want one"

"No" Happy says

"Yes" Ivy says to Happy trying to make a mean face. Which makes us all laugh. I cover my mouth trying not to show my smile while looking at Happy.

Chibs "If they can get through all of us then we'll discuss it. Ok?"

Ivy looks at him then me then him again before finally saying "Fine. BUT I get ice cream"

We chuckle. "Wha'ever you wan' love" Chibs says walking around the counter

"Shouldn't you ask mom" Tig says amused. Chibs waves him off. I just shake my head till Happy says "She's not allergic right?"

Chibs stops scooping and looks at me "It's fine" I say

Jax says "Well that was quick. I think she beat you"

I laugh before asking "What do you mean"

Jax says "You don't remember how you had everyone around your finger in no time. Even Gemma"

I laugh "Yeah well. She's like her momma what can I say"

"Then we're in trouble" Tig say as he puts his arm around me.

We just watch Ivy talk to Happy,Chibs,Brooke and Chucky.

~~~~~~~~

Right now we are all sitting around downstairs waiting on Tig and Rat to get back with the food and apparently someone that Tig wants me to meet.

"Mommy you have to teach Brookie how to braid my hair because I want her to watch me sometimes like she does Jackie's boys and if your not there or can do it she can."

I just smile and say "Ok. I'll teach her soon"

"Is it hard" Brooke ask

"Once you know how to no"

"Mommy's a good teacher so you'll be fine" We all chuckle. I turn and see everyone just watching Ivy as she colors and talking about anything she can think of.

I see Happy outside smoking so I turn to Brooke and say "I'll be back" she nods, I kiss Ivy's head then head out the front door.

He turns his head when he hears the bell and his eyes light up but he doesn't smile "Hey" he says

"Hey." I move closer to him before I say "Those will kill you. Ya know?"

He smiles "Yeah. I remember you telling my that at least once a day back then"

I sigh, stand next to him and look out at the street. He puts his arm around my shoulder and we just stand there till he says "I've missed you"

"I missed you too" I look down shaking my head "so much"

He puts his lips to my head and I close my eyes trying to savor the moment which didn't last long enough because we heard a motorcycle.

Hap pulls back, I look up at him just staring into his almost black eyes till I hear.

"Mrs. Lowman can you get the door please"

I look over to my left and see Rat smiling like a idiot holding like 5 Large pizza boxes. I laugh and shake my head before going to open the door for him. He walks in and Happy goes to enter right after him but I stop him. I look at him with sweet eyes. Silently asking him not to kill him.

"It wasn't funny" he says

"It was kinda funny"

"What was funny" Tig ask walking up but I don't look at him I keep looking at Happy

"Rat's about to be our new Half sack"

I frown my eyebrows. Soooooo confused till Tig laughs and says "Halfsack was a prospect" I look at him and slowly nod my head still confused till Happy says "He only had one ball"

Tig says "The other got blown off in the service" I nod then look at the person next to him and smile politely which makes Tig say "Oh right."

He turns to the lady and says "Baby this is Reina. Like I said she's like my niece slash daughter. One that doesn't hate me" He looks at me and says "Doll Face this is Venus. My old lady."

I keep a straight face just staring at Tig till I can't anymore and I start laughing. "Hi. It's nice to meet you" I say putting my hand out.

Tig breaths out "You scared me Doll Face"

I laugh She looks at Tig then me and smiles "Pleasure is all mine. Alexander has told me alot about you in the last two hours"

I look at Tig "Hopefully good things"

He winks which make me smile before looking back at Venus "Great things" she says with a smile

"You guys gonna come eat?"

I turn and see Jax standing in the doorway then see everyone sitting down, looking at us. I chuckle a little and say "Yeah"

Jax smiles and we walk in, grab a paper plate, grab some pizza and drinks before sitting down.

Brooke and Ivy are still sitting across from each other in the booth.

Chibs next to Ivy and Rat next to Brooke.

Chucky pulled up a chair and is sitting at the end of the booth.

Jax sits next to Tig which is to the left of me.

Tig sits next to Venus.

Venus sit to the right of Happy

And

Me and Happy sit next to each other at one of the tables. His hand on my thigh and my hand on his.

They really are my family.

Thats The End Of This Chapter👸

Hope You Enjoyed💙
