#smh I admire your persistence

[tigerlyla-of-metinna]

I have more photos and not enough time to edit and caption them. So I reblog the good stuff from friends, acquaintances and strangers to keep my channel active.

Aside from work, I am finishing up a fan art from a different fandom. I like to diversify my interest.

I use my time on worthwhile pursuits and activities outside the computer: biking everyday, making art for the H-Studio, making free art for the socmed, cooking for the family, hanging out with friends, etc.

Lurking isn't one of them.

Ooops!

[paintedkinzy-88]

I see what you’re doing, posting this literally the moment I log onto Tumblr. That’s a cruel trick, dropping a bombshell like this on me so quickly smh /lh

I want to emphasize your point on Reaper, because he’s literally the most complicated damn design, and you drew him SO frikking beautifully??? I am literally in awe, specifically with those paws. Just. I love it so frikkin much щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

Error is easily a close second tho, those details are delicious, I am eating them up so much! And I’m psyched to hear you’re getting more confident in drawing webbed wings!! It really shows, dude!! Ink’s wings in particular are incredible, that’s such a dope pose.

And I can not forget to admire the fluff, of course. Soft bois all around. And Nightmare’s anatomy, holy leggos does he look adorable—

ALL IN ALL I LOVE THEM TONS THANK YOU VERY MUCH?? I am both flattered and highly apologetic that they are stuck in your mind so persistently, but also like. Yeah same fbsbfjsb

✨ Dragon Supremacy ✨

these guys r all i draw and literally plague my brain 24/7 plz send help-

anyway tho, these cuties belong to @paintedkinzy-88 (go check them out they’re cool and yes this is a threat 💥🔫)

if some of them look more detailed than others is cause they r and most of these were doodles i did in class lol

not Reaper tho, i put some time and effort into him haha cause he requires many MANY references to look good

i’ve also been trying to play around with wings and different poses so some look a little wonky but i think they work for the most part

also i realize i made everyone but Life noooo but she’s so pretty how could i do this to herrrrr 😩

don’t worry i’ll fix that soon enough lol

enjoy this fr ig but i’ll be back 😈

ALSO #ERRORSWEEP ALL THE WAY BABYYY HE’S GETTING FIRST THIS YEAR RAAAAAAAA

shinsō hitoshi

finds it super annoying

and this is coming from him, someone that’s not easy to irritate

he’s conscious and aware that people find him attractive (which for some reason, he still questions why)

eventually, admirers are bound to appear like it or not, but they’re not this insistent as this girl, nope.

shinsō has never experienced something like this, in his entire life.

noriko was a familiar face, but not in the best way for shinsō hitoshi.

she used to be one of those girls that’d band wagon with her opinions. whenever people were hostile towards him

she would be hostile too

but as soon as everyone started finding him attractive, she’d change too.

and it’s.. a mess. what more when he himself is pining on someone that’s not noriko

let alone, a student from class 1-A?

and it’s not like he could brainwash her into leaving him alone

as soon as she would be released by his quirk, she’d tell everyone what he did. therefore, leaving that out of the many solutions

and now he’s backed up into a corner, with her chasing him all across the hallways.

he can only hope for a solution.

— scene —

“this is ridiculous..” taking another turn in the hallway, shinsō mutters to himself quietly, the sleep deprived student can still hear her shrill voice

and by ‘her’, he’s referring to the admirer that has been tailing him down ever since the day had started.

“there are times like this where i wished i didn’t care about looking villainous” is what he’s really thinking. damn quirk stereotypes, and curse him for not having a quirk like iida tenya

“what.. are you doing?” was he lucky, or unlucky? it just so happened to be that he bumped into y/n l/n, out of all people

“i’m in a bit of a situation,” his palm rests against his nape, and he has to hope that you get the message, when noriko’s nearly deafening voice cuts through the air

“you’re quite popular with the ladies, huh?” you joke, and shinsō would’ve laughed if he wasn’t being trailed down.

“as much as i—��

“there you are !” noriko exclaims, slightly out of breath from the insistent chase, “you still haven’t answered !”

“i have, and i said no.” he makes his intentions concrete, compared to earlier (which was a mistake) when he rejected her in the nicest way he could’ve done so, but it wasn’t enough to make her quit.

“well earlier, you’ve said you appreciated it !” the whine pains both of your ears, and you contemplate if you should just grab his hand, and make a run for it.

but, she’d just chase you down again. so maybe not.

“yes, but i also said i can’t accept your feelings.” in instinct, he backs up so he could stand next to you, and he looks at you with his own style of desperation, which was obviously different than noriko’s desperation.

“i happen to be taken.” shinsō claims, hooking his hand along yours. which might’ve been done because he’s desperate, but could’ve been done because he wanted to

getting the motive, you lock away your shock, and play along, accepting his touch.

“i don’t believe you.” noriko blurts, “you two look like best friends more than anything. i’m not stupid !”

you didn’t think it would have to resort to this.

with not much of a thought, you grabbed shinsō by the collar, and smashed your lips together. his lips are warmer than you’ve anticipated, the distinct taste of coffee makes you lean into him further. while at first taken aback, shinsō decides to accept the act by pushing you even closer to him

you let go, deciding it was enough, and when you stare back at noriko, tears dotting at her waterline, and she sputters in humiliation and rejection.

“i never liked you anyway !” she uses as a defense, before storming off. the both of you feel a sense of relief when her figure turns at the end of the hallway

“sorry for kissing you like that. it was kind of in the moment,”

shinsō chuckles, “didn’t expect our first kiss to be like that.”

“well, there are more opportunities to come for you, you’re quite popular.” you tease, and shinsō flicks your forehead in retaliation. in return, you hiss at the sudden sting of pain.

“we’ll have more opportunities when i take you out for lunch on saturday.” he pats you on the shoulder, before he presses a quick real kiss on your cheekbone.

bakugō katsuki

also finds it super annoying. actually, he might as well just fight them and move on.

bakugō knows it well that he’s.. well-known, for all the right and wrong reasons

but what he doesn’t know is that he’s also known for his good looks, rough and boyish in nature.

so eventually, there’ll be that one brave and fearless soul that’ll take one for the team. or even two, or three.

he hates it. doesn’t his aura and demeanor alone scare off all of the suitors?

since when were they super persistent, smh.

it didn’t help that he was trying to drown and suffocate his feelings down the pipeline.

because curse bakugō katsuki for having normal, teenage feelings. he had other important things in life, right?

but he couldn’t help but wonder if you’d ever confess to him like that

(not that it would happen any time soon. you were too busy being a tough training partner)

but everything aside, he wishes that people would just take the hint already.

because ignoring doesn’t help all the time.

the girl named fumiko would be a dreadful sight he’d be constantly reminded of.

from his shoe locker being flooded with love letters that speak nothing to him, and to the obnoxious commentary on his looks

he’d think that they were just harassing him to get a reaction, but bakugō katsuki will remain unbothered!

but he spoke too soon, because he was approached directly right after his late training session.

—scene—

bakugō hates it

he hates extras, he hates being outshined, and he hates distractions. what more was there to dislike in the world? everything clearly.

he can handle things properly, and with that tough demeanor of his, and he definitely doesn’t need a quick and easy solution, from the girl that’s glued to his side.

he told himself that a persistent extra is nothing, he can just simply ignore them and look at them, like how he always looks at useless pebbles, and they’d go away. but clearly not this girl

“get off, you fucking extra” he pushes her off, grabbing his water bottle and immediately storming off, but it doesn’t convince fumiko (he learned her name unfortuantely) to finally lay off.

“c’mon katsuki! this would’ve all been over if you just went out with me!”

bakugō can’t hide the cringe on his face, hearing his first name, ugh. he doesn’t know how she found out about his late training sessions, considering that she wasn’t in his class or class 1-b

he doubts that he’d run into anyone at this hour, they’d be all in the common room, and he did say that he wanted all of them to ‘fuck off’. but luck does work in mysterious ways.

“..what’re you doing here?” he questions, clearly surprised by your presence, and his frustration would’ve disappeared at that exact mom“dinner’s almost ready. actually, why do you look so.. alarmed? is there a villain?—”

his palms are starting to sweat, and it’s not because of his training, or because of the girl that won’t leave him alone. “no! fuck no. okay, there’s just some shitty extra that’s been following me around like some obsessed freak.”

you decide to be smug, “i knew there was going to be a brave soul out there, ready to sacrifice themselves.” you rest your hand on your left side, like it was heart warming, but the blond is not amused with your gesture.

“right, right!” you hold your hands up, surrendering. “okay, what do you want me to do?”

“just don’t say a fucking thing.” you can hear foot steps get closer and closer to the both of you, and in a hurry, he pushes you closer to him, the smell of caramel evading your senses.

before you could even say a word, he kisses you. it’s rough, and it makes you feel warm, and it’s definitely not because of his quirk, or because of the large, warm palms that rest against your sides.

you get a grip on him, holding onto his shoulder when you feel your knees buck because of the butterflies in your stomach, and it seems to get worse when bakugō holds you even tighter

“okay geez, i get it. you’re taken!” you can hear the girl exclaim in humiliation and disgust, “ugh, a guy like you wouldn’t be able to handle me anyway.”

and when she finally scurries away, the both of you break the kisses, the wind out of you being knocked out cold from his sudden act of ‘romance’

“i sorta understand the hype now.” you grin, your lips still tingle from the kiss, and you’re convinced that you want more, despite the kiss being out of spite, and for fumiko to back off.

“shut up.” you would’ve laughed at him if it was any other day, but for now, you’re left silent. your heart flutters once more, when his lips press against your cheekbone briefly.

“c’mon, idiot. we’re gonna miss dinner.”

midoriya izuku

he’s so alarmed, and honestly very scared

he wasn’t popular, or well known to begin with, and people only started treating him like he was a real person in highschool

he’s just so used to being looked at like a background character, or a npc in a video game.

so the sudden swarm of suitors, and people that want to date him shocked him to the core.

he was never treated like this in middle school, or elementary!

it flatters him, and he’s glad that people actually like him. but.. he’d never actually think about being with either of them

because they’re not you, obviously. but wait, what’s so different about you exactly?

well.. you’ve treated him with kindness, even when he looked like this.. really awkward kid that sat at the back of the classroom.

so yeah, he’d never think about accepting anyone else’s confessions, as long as they’re not you

but still, midoriya has treated all of his admirers with kindness, despite not wanting to be with any of them

knowing how it feels to be humiliated, he wouldn’t want to do that on any of them

but.. this one particular girl was one he’d never truly be comfortable with, as much as he’d like to fake it.

rieko was.. something. probably the most persistent one out of all of them.

he would’ve appreciated it, if it weren’t for the fact that she was super obnoxious to other people.

and most importantly, he didn’t understand what she’d get out of it, and it wrecked his nerves!

— scene —

standing next to you, all lined up for lunch, midoriya shifts uncomfortably as he tries his best to ignore the loud and obvious commentary that’s being directed to him.

at first, it was flattering. but now? he just wishes things would go back to the times where people had no interest in him, whatsoever.

he knows what rieko really like him for, and it’s honestly disheartening. the girl would compliment him on things like his looks, and even his new moves!

but as soon as he elaborated on how he did it, the interest would fade away from her eyes

not that it did matter though. midoriya didn’t really have any feelings for any of the people that’ve approached him, wanting to date him. he’s been kind, and they’ve been kind in return, getting the hint and backing off.

the freckled boy was flattered but, not interested

but clearly, rieko didn’t get the message, despite the way midoriya would back away uncomfortably. how he’d immediately excuse himself whenever he’d see the girl.

just.. all signs of disinterest

“go! just ask him already!” he can hear her friends encourage her, but he’s not very enthusiastic to know what they’re cheering her on for

“he won’t be able to resist! just walk right in and do it, you guys will be an attractive couple anyway!”

midoriya’s palms are shaky, and he tries his best to calm his nerves down by clenching his fists. this doesn’t go un-noticed by you.

“you okay, midoriya?” you ask, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, and the green haired boy hopes that his cheeks aren’t turning red.

the both of you guys are awfully close! not that he’s complaining, it’s just that—

“is it about them?” you ask in a nearly quiet tone, and midoriya’s aware that you’re talking about them.

“uhm..” midoriya tries to formulate a proper answer, not wanting to sound as bothered as he actually is. how would he be able to explain this? “don’t worry about it,” midoriya reassures, “it’s just—”

“do you think that he’s dating that person? you know, the one beside them?” he hears that the topic of the conversation has shifted, and the group of girls are referring to you.

midoriya wasn’t planning on telling anyone about the dilemma. let alone his crush. it was something he was going to ignore, until the mess calmed down.

but now? you’re roped into it, and his nerves didn’t calm down at all.

“izuku dating them? no, it can’t be. he’s too good for them!”

“that’s the spirit, rieko. you should just go like.. now!”

to him, it’s the other way around. you’re too good for him, and you’re out of his league. so, this comment upsets him to all ends.

he’s pondering on what he should do, and before he could take you out of the line to get food at some other place, he feels something warm enlace his hand.

he slightly shivers when he realizes that it’s your hand he’s holding, cheeks flushed with crimson.

your eyes are ahead, a lot more composed than he is clearly, but if he looked hard enough, he could sense the nervousness in your hold.

“you wanna leave the line, izu?” his first name sounds different when you say it, and he thinks to himself that he prefers it a lot more when it comes from you

“y-yes.” and you smile, pressing your lips against his cheek quickly, before tugging his hand and pulling him out of the line, walking away from the group.

it’s a miracle that he didn’t drop onto the cafeteria’s floors.

you can feel his anxiety subsiding. despite his flushed cheeks remaining, he looks better than he did a few seconds ago, and you’re glad.

deciding the both of you were at a safe distance, you peek over your shoulder. you can see the absolute defeat on rieko’s face, and the scowl on her friends’ faces as they attempted to comfort their heartbroken friend.

“thank you, y/n.”

“no, it’s nothing, really. anyhow, what do you plan on eating for lunch?”

"It is utterly deplorable how I knew this would happen." Reiji lets out the most biggest, exasperated sigh, completely something he would not regularly do unless behind closed doors.

"I must personally say, your... obsession over me is quite unnerving. I have never once met someone such as yourself who I have come to know on over ten proposals, all gone wrong."

"While I admire your persistence, you should know you would have to do much more than just simply propose to me. Shall we see what you are truly capable of first, Ren?"

THE WAY I SCREAMED-

Okay, okay, okay, now I wouldn't have to send 10+ proposal asks if you just quit playing hard to get and accepted right off the bat, smh 🙄💕💕💕

What must I do to win your affections, King?? 🥺🥺🥺 If you scroll back on my blog you can see how much I simp

You can always step on me whenever you want and I will always say thank you bc you're so fine jfc 😭

AND NO MORE FROGS I PROMISE THAT BACKFIRED ON ME REAL HARD I WANTED YOU TO RUN INTO MY ARMS IN FEAR OF THE FROGGO I'M SORRY

[storybookprincess]

university!au: day6 sungjin

i’ve abandoned this au for so long istg my life is a mess yall please forgive but anyway im back with my bullshit and ready to spread my cringe-worthy stuff to the world again

name: park sungjin

major: practical music and arts

other activities: leader, guitarist, and vocalist of university band, president of music club, member of cooking club

park sungjin is the embodiment of leadership

i mean he’s the band leader, the club president, also the president of his class since year one, like he’s so trustworthy and responsible, literally nothing can go wrong under his sight

and even when things do go wrong (life is a bitch) he’ll still make sure everyone is fine and having the time of their lives pun intended

anyone who meets sungjin for the first time will probs say he has this tough man aura, cold,,, tsundere-ish idk

but as someone who have known each other for so long, you never understand when anyone says sungjin looks cold

you know damn well the moment sungjin opens his mouth he gonna throw dad jokes with his satoori dialect

dad jokes are fucking funny fight me

you once said sungjin should start his own comedy club

......he’s currently considering it

oh right he also talks about food all. the. time.

he joined cooking club for a reason okay

no, he can’t and doesn’t really cook he’s only there to taste food and people let him there because he’s nice and he knows how to appreciate the cooks

uh we love a man with manners

so, who is sungjin for you exactly?

he lives next door, one year older than you, was a leader even when you were little ayeee childhood friend cliche

can you imagine little sungjin leading his friends in game its so pure brb crying

you told him everything you couldn’t tell ur parents because they were busy, you asked for his advises, he made sure you were safe and happy

you still depend on him even after you two have grown up

you enrolled to the same university, took the same major with him, and even joined the clubs he’s a member of

this isn’t because you’re indecisive, it’s just that you spent so much of your childhood with sungjin that you two became similar to each other, up to your hobbies and interests and even palate lmao

that’s why he loves to eat with you because you two never argue about the menu

the only club you can’t join is the band, and that’s because jae rejected your application

reason: extremely close personal relationship with sungjin, therefore sungjin will take your side if we ever had an argument

you denied that; no, sungjin wont take anyone’s side based on feelings bc he’s a logical person and he always listens carefully to every side of the parties before he makes a decision..... but jae wont listen

brat

"you only rejected me because im a better guitarist”

“lalalalala cant hear you over my authority as the important band member”

“fuck you”

“i don’t accept offers”

anywayssss you did fail to join the band, but you’re friends with them, theyre literally so used to your company that sometimes they forgot youre not actually in the band

you and the guys teamed up for sungjin’s surprise birthday party

the surprise failed because dowoon accidentally added sungjin to the group chat

sungjin being nice and playing along anyway because he didnt want to disappoint you

and then its sungjin’s turn to ask the guys for help for your birthday party

failed again because dowoon AGAIN accidentally invited you, in person, to your own birthday party

dowoon what the heck?????

yeah its all cute and sweet but thats all of your relationship with sungjin, you treat him like a dependable brother and he treats you like his own little sister

thats what you tell to your friends too when they ask if you two are dating

they’re glad thats the case

because they have a crush on sungjin LMAOOOOO PLOT TWIST

they’re hoping they can get to sungjin through you yanno like asking you to send him snacks and letters or to tell him they say hi

you dont mind i mean you know sungjin is one admirable person ofc everyone likes him

sungjin never rejects nor accepts it hes just like “yay snacks!”

“god damn it sungjin just date any of them im tired of being a matchmaker”

“then dont?? literally no one asked you to”

little did you know that sungjin had the same problem

some of his classmates are interested in you but whenever they come to him he just says, “dont ask me i dont know anything and if i do i wont tell you”

this one sandeul guy has started asking you out and stuff

“ehhh youre so nice i’ll think about it!!”

you, immediately texting sungjin: ur friend sandeul ask me out what should i do

sungjin: do you like him tho

you: not really idk him yet

sungjin: just tell him your mom said no

you: damn nice

but this guy is so persistent and you gotta admit hes kinda cute and after a few tries you finally said yes to him

so you two went together and it was pretty fun

sungjin isnt too happy when he hears about it from sandeul

he asked you, “why didnt you tell me first?”

“well i dont think its a big deal. it was just a date anyway”

but you always told him everything

sungjin never speaks about it again

you go on another date with sandeul the week after

you tell sungjin later and he doesnt ask how it went

hes just “oh”

idk he’s kinda distant now, he rarely talks nor replies to your texts

he doesn't visit music club nor cooking club either so you don't see him often

have i told you im uncreative and all my aus are lame???

you think its probably because hes focusing for the finals, but even after it’s over sungjin doesnt really hang out with you or the band anymore like he only comes for practices and leaves right after

weirdly no one says anything about sungjin’s absence

but you cant stay quiet any longer and decide to ask dowoon whats wrong with sungjin

you shouldve known dowoon cant help much

“honestly i dont know either, maybe you should ask wonpil he’s sungjin’s roommate”

“but what if wonpil told sungjin”

“told sungjin what?”

“that i asked about him”

“asked him what?”

“...nevermind”

you asked younghyun

younghyun doesnt help either

“i dont know, just ask him yourself. i thought you were the closest to him??” why you so salty man

okay fine lets ask jae

“i’ll tell you for fifty bucks”

“dude im broke”

“then deal with it yourself”

you had no choice but to ask wonpil

“he’s just tired”

you know wonpil lied but this little shit refuses to tell anything

“please dont force me to answer i will cry really loudly and it’ll be embarrassing for the both of us”

why do you befriend them in the first place smh

oh youre right about wonpil telling sungjin that youre worried, and he does tell him to talk to you if he got something in mind

sungjins hesitant but in the end he only says, “no... its just that i didnt realize until recently that my little sister has grown up a lot”

“dear god wtf you sound like her grandma”

skip the boring part so uh a few more days passed awkwardly between you two and after your failed attempt at asking around you decide to confront sungjin in person

youre in the band practice room, the others are present, sungjin’s about to leave early as usual, and you find yourself jumping up your seat, “whats your problem with me?”

you know sungjin hates confrontation but you cant stand it anymore. you tried giving him time but if theres anything you seem to be more of a stranger to him

“i dont know what i did wrong and i wont know if you dont tell me, so let me know. i’ll listen and i’ll apologize if its my fault, but dont give me silent treatment like this. its so unlikely of you"

you can see sungjin clences his jaw as he replies calmly, "people change"

"you don't change, youre being childish. if you're mad you should talk about it. if you don't want me here you should tell me to go. if you don't like ME dating your friend you should tell me not to!!!"

drama much ryn

"youre your own person and you make your own choice, its your life and i cant keep telling you what to do or what not," and the end part kinda slips, "i don't hate you dating my friend or anyone, okay? im just not used yet to be a second person for you and im afraid youll get hurt"

"youre never?? a second person sungjin where does this idea even come from youre the only one for me i dont want anyone else???"

and suddenly there's a train of awkward coughs and you come back to your senses and you realize you're being watched

jae pretends to make a phone call, "mom pick me up im scared"

lame jae lame

dowoon mumbles, "can we,,, make an exit first before you two declare your undying love bc its privacy yanno"

you feel the heat spreading across your face as you open your mouth the same time as sungjin, both want to deny dowoon, but younghyun beats yall to it, "yeah you two are in love with each other we been know"

you and sungjin stares at each other, confused, "we don't???"

"oh honey,,, my dear,,, ive read enough sappy shit in writing club to see where this is going"

the conversation was cut there and neither of you bring it up again,

because the idea of you loving sungjin or sungjin loving you is so weird that you refuse to think about it, and so is for sungjin

but ever since that, sungjin has drastically come back to normal its almost hilarious, he spends a lot of time hanging out in the music club, practicing with the band, visiting the cooking club, making a joke here and there

sungjin is himself again with you, a caring dependable brother whom you come to whenever you need to talk or just hang out with and he always makes sure he has time for you

sap

you know hes always been like that but why does it feel different now??? the way he smiles or pulls your hand so youre walking on the inner side of the road,,, how he neatly places your spoon and chopsticks on a napkin when you two go out to eat together,,,, why

tender love baby chICKEN TENDER

mydayexol follow me

andddd so one day, someone asked you out. again.

wow ur so popular i cant Relate

you, texting sungjin: sandeuls friend jinyoung something invited me to a party next saturday should i come

sungjin, replying to you: hmm

you: ???

sungjin: i think its up to you

for some reason youre disappointed by his reply,,, but he’s right tho its your call if you wanna go then you go its not about what sungjin says

right?

right???

but suddenly you got another text: but if you ask for my opinion i would say don't go

you: actually i dont want to either lol so what should i say

sungjin: tell him you already have a date

you: nice

sungjin: with me

you: ayyeee

you: wait what

sungjin: i mean its just a suggestion

sungjin: which you can accept

sungin: or reject

for some reason you can imagine sungjin’s cheeky smile through his texts and it makes your inside tingles and you wanna giggle

so yea you thought it was a joke but he actually did take you out for a movie and dinner

it was really nice

so yanno the weird thing is that neither of you ask the other to be “official” but you just. are dating.

ur friends are mad like “bUT YOU SAID YOU TWO WERENT A THING”

“lol sry i changed my mind”

“fuck you”

“no thanks sungjin can do that... bUT DONT TELL SUNGJIN I SAID THAT hes gonna kill me”

“is he ur mom”

“basically yeah”

this sucks real bad but who cares

not me obviously

ill be back soon (or not) with dowoon’s one lets hope i can do better than this dnsjfsndfj lnjajnfdjs lmAO I LOVE YALL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE

Falling | Dick Winters

Summary: Dick goes to New Jersey, and he meets you — a friend of Nixon.

Can be read as a prequel to I Love You Always Forever

Warnings: (just an annoying douchebag guy at a bar smh)

———

There was a quietness in the air, disturbed as you shuffled inside. Two voices could be heard in the living room and you rolled your eyes, flicking on a light and watching Dick Winters and Lewis Nixon jump.

“Hello, boys.”

“Christ, Y/N.” Nixon scowled playfully, “tryna give me a heart attack?”

“Well, this is my apartment.”

“Oh please, it’s ours.”

“Do you pay rent? Feed the stray cats on the stairwell? Buy the groceries?”

“I provide something much more satisfactory—my company.”

“How do I return it?”

Dick huffs out a laugh, hiding it behind his hand when Nix shoots a glare his way.

“There’s no loyalty, from either of you! You’ll miss me when I’m gone.”

You raise your eyebrows, “Well that day can’t come soon enough.”

“Dick, it’s nice to see you,” you continue on, acting as if you hadn’t just dragged Nix and ignoring his indignant huff.

“Likewise.” He smiles, nodding his head.

“We were going to invite you out, Nell and I had plans and we wanted you both there, but if you’re in such a bullying mood—“

“Hush, Lew, I’m fine. I need a drink after this day anyway.”

“Bad day?”

You smile fauxly, “it was wonderful, so wonderful that I want to drink until I can’t even remember my name.”

“You have work tomorrow.”

“Well, then just one will have to do.”

. . .

The bar you frequented was dimly lit, with lamps on each table to illuminate the faces of its occupants. You couldn’t help but take note of the way Dick’s eyes glowed warmly as he examined the room, before settling on you. He didn’t look away, smiling slightly before looking back to the menu. Your cheeks were definitely a little warm, but not from his look - it was the room.

Eleanor - Nell - and Lewis sat side by side, whispering to each other in a way that made you feel out of place but happy for their happiness.

“I’m getting a drink,” you announce standing up, “anyone want anything?”

Dick looked up, lips straight as he nodded. “Yeah, a nice cold glass of water.”

Lewis rolled his eyes at Dick, “a whiskey please. You want anything, honey?”

Nell shook her head with a smile that you returned. You walked over to the bar, waiting for the bartender to notice you. A low whistle caught your attention from your left, a man looking at you in admiration.

“You’re a real beauty.”

“Thanks.” You nod curtly, taking in his profile.

He had nice brown eyes, looking dark in the lighting. Dirty blonde hair was combed up to the side, giving a causal rugged look. He was attractive, but he didn’t do it for you.

“Let me buy your drink?” He leaned in closer, hand dangerously close to yours.

“Thanks for the offer, but I’m buying for my friends.” You nod back to your table, briefly glancing back and catching the look on Dick’s face. His eyebrows were pinched, lips downturned, he gave you a ‘who’s that?’ look. You shrug lightly.

“Well, maybe, I can convince you to stay over here for a little bit.” He was persistent.

“Look, I’m not interested.”

He flinched back at your harsh tone, getting up with his hands raised. “Geez, didn’t have to be a bitch about it.”

You glare at him, scoffing when he bumps shoulders with you on his way out. The bartender finally floats down to your end, taking your order and disappearing.

“New Jersey men are somethin’ else,” you huff after coming back to the table.

“Hey,” Nix speaks up, “I’m a Jersey man.”

You share a look with Nell, both of you speaking in unison. “Exactly.”

Everyone laughs, breaking the tension that had developed during that encounter.

“I know you can handle yourself,” Dick says, “but are you okay?”

“Yeah, thanks.”

He nods, taking a sip of his water.

The rest of the night passes on like normal—Nixon and Nell teasing you and Dick about when you’d finally get together, Dick rolling his eyes with a smile but never really refuting it —before it rolls to an end.

Nixon and Nell got into their car, waving until they disappeared around the corner.

It was a warm night, humid, but cooling off. Streetlights flicker on, though there is still the last hints of pink and yellow daylight fading off into dusk.

“Let’s get you home.”

Dick walks to the passenger door of his car, closing it behind you and walking to the driver’s side. Music plays lowly on the radio, a soft tune that was currently all the rage, drifting out the open windows.

“Does it bother you?”

“What?”

“The teasing...”

“About me and you?”

“Well, yeah.”

“No, I...” he says so quietly you almost don’t hear him. “I like to think it will be me and you one day.”

You can’t help the way your heart turns into a utter pile of goo, his shy smile wrecking you in the best way. His hand moves to hold yours, gently rubbing circles with his thumb.

It was such a simple touch, a mere brush before he pulls away to focus on driving, but your heart soars.

There was no going back from this.

You almost wish the drive to your apartment was longer when he stops along the curb.

“I guess this is goodnight.” You say quietly, trepidation setting in.

“Yeah.”

How many times had you thought, dreamt, of this moment? Dick Winters, in one night, touching you more than he had in all the previous years you had known him, flirting with you, giving you a soft smile reserved for you and you only - this was the step toward falling for him. Truly and deeply taking the leap towards happiness, but you were afraid. It was making the commitment; to him, you, a future.

You opened the car door, foot halfway out the door when his hand wraps around your wrist. His eyes are set, determined, cheeks flushed the slightest pink.

“If you’re not busy tomorrow night, I’d like to take you out.” He says, “no Nix, no Nell, no guys in a bar who can’t take a no - just me and you.”

What did you have to be afraid of when he would be there to catch you and your heart?

“I’d love that.”

Lotor?

ngl, i squealed when i saw this. i get to talk about My Boy!!!

thank you for the ask

(send me characters and i’ll give thoughts on them!)

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life

sorry, anti-lotor half of the vld fandom, but i love this guy to pieces and nothing y’all say can change that because 1. y’all’s attempts at critically saying he’s Bad are poorly done imo lmao, 2. i’m not so preoccupied with morality and purity culture that i stick my thumbs in my ears and try to shove plugs into other ppl’s ears, and 3. opinions are subjective.

like personally, i love complex characters set up as parallels and foils to major protagonists that are inherently anti-imperialist, archaeologists, and conservationists; are representative of a not-so-palatable reality of abuse survivorship; have issues of trauma, paranoia, and interpersonal defeatism; and are clearly being set up for a future arc that will be closely intertwined with said major protagonists—as well as driven by a deep, internal conviction and strength that has persisted against absolutely ridiculous odds—

but idk. your loss, i guess.

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang

aesthetically: gorgeous. but i am very ace.

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

don’t harangue me for not calling lotor a slytherin in case you support that side lol, but i read a really good meta on this a while ago that i agreed with here.

(gonna put the rest of this under a readmore since this gets to be A Lot.)

essentially, one of lotor’s core traits is the search for knowledge and scientific advancement for its own sake. there’s no way he doesn’t love learning—he spent centuries studying a culture that was extinct, a culture that by any imperialistic measures was worthless and weak because it opposed the empire and it was destroyed. one could hardly believe he began searching for the last remnants of altea for power or ambition. he studied them because he wanted to, for the sake of it, to connect to something that’s part of him.

in a lot of ways, he does exemplify slytherin traits—he can be exceptionally ruthless when he believes he or things/people he cares about are threatened, he is unusually preoccupied with a need for power and control, and his goals could be considered lofty and ambitious. however, much of these traits and desires can easily be linked to his trauma. one might make an argument that he’s still similar enough to honerva to qualify as a slytherin, but personally i think the story sets him up as opposing haggar without hypocrisy in too many ways to be persuaded.

(honerva wanted to continue her research despite the risks, endangering an entire planet and potentially the universe, because she saw the research as empowering. she saw her research—her own ambitions—as more important than anything else, and abandoned ethics like some burdensome shackle. but lotor is seen multiple times as unwilling to endanger people and planets for his goals without either being reasonably assured of their survival (such as voltron) or their consent. he despises cruelty and the taking away of others’ agency.)

in an ideal world, i think lotor would be an obvious ravenclaw. but his trauma has encouraged him to act like a slytherin.

best quality:

superficially: HIS NERDINESS. as soon as lotor started talking about ancient ruins, learning other cultures’ customs, and rattled off an entire poem he memorized off some old-ass cave wall he probably saw like 3 centuries before, i was absolutely done for. i had been trying to maintain my skepticism of him for skepticism’s sake, but god. you can’t just throw a goddamn archaeologist in my face and expect me to not fall deeply in love.

more seriously: i love lotor’s conviction. lotor has a strong sense of self, morality, and personal drive, especially for someone with his experiences.

he accepts and embraces both sides of his heritage as defining parts of who he is. in an empire that despises altean blood, he wields an altean broadsword, spends centuries studying what’s left of the culture, and openly admires the peace, people, and traditions of altea past. and in a castle of paladins and alteans, he demands to be judged “by [his] actions, rather than [the] preconceptions of [his] race,” knowing full well that team voltron perceives him as galra, and failing to inform them of his altean blood despite the clear benefits that would’ve come from doing so.

he has a code of conduct that’s repeatedly shown in sharp contrast to the ideals of the empire—even from his very introduction, when he stands in front of an entire arena of galran soldiers and refuses to compromise his own morals for a more rhetorically effective argument. lotor’s small, four-person team of generals (compared to the typical galran fleet) seizes an entire planet while killing no one and causing virtually no destruction.

he is also incredibly self-motivated. lotor has lived for centuries relying almost completely on himself, and he will ruthlessly protect himself and his own.

his inner strength is ridiculously admirable, and i love his self-assurance.

worst quality:

idk? usually ppl say flaws or some such here, but the problem is that flaws are more complicated than just “they do dumb things because of this adjective.”

also i love flaws. they’re born of the essence that makes a character who they are. hating their flaws is ridiculous.

with that said……..

fucking hate lotor’s hair. seriously, wtf? he can tuck all of it into his helmet and have it all fall back out nice and neatly. HOW. it’s the biggest lie of the entire show alongside allura’s bun. it’s just not possible and i hate that lotor defying reality just to look beautiful is Canon.

his butt cape. like akjhdkhgkghjgk,,, a genuine BUTT CAPE. for what purpose?? preference??? drama???????? i’ve seen comparisons to honerva’s own butt cape back when she was a normal empress-consort scientist on daibazaal, which makes sense since lotor loves making Fashion Statements, but god. a butt cape.

what on god’s heavenly green earth is up with his swordsmanship? the acrobatics and the flourishing are positively ridiculous. who the fuck actually tries killing a powerful emperor and their abuser by smashing them from above with a purple final fantasy sword like they’re the hammer and zarkon is a nail. lotor is unrealistic.

ship them with:

:)

recovery and happiness.

brotp them with:

his generals. DUH. it’s clear that they’ve had a strong history together, and it’s impossible to have their relationship end here without any sort of resolution or confrontation about narti’s death. let them reunite under conciliatory terms. let them be friends again. (and let sincline return.)

allura for sure!!! their relationship development has been beautiful so far and i want to see that continue.

coran. they’re both Nerds. plus, one of them got to experience a full and long life on altea. let them talk.

the paladins in general. it might be difficult, slow-going, and hesitant/full of suspicion on both sides, but god—just imagine if they were friendly. (plus it would do worlds of good for lotor. he’s a lonely man, and it would even more clearly distance him from comparisons to zarkon.)

the blade of marmora (and keith). the show has said nothing so far, but i refuse to believe that in the past centuries, lotor and the blade have never interacted or crossed paths before. i can imagine why they would’ve been uninterested in alliance with each other, but i can also imagine what would make each appeal greatly to the other. let them interact. (as for keith, he and lotor have a lot of similarities. it’s real funny how similar allura, keith, and lotor all are to each other, really. hm.)

needs to stay away from:

haggar. she’s fake as hell and evil to boot. some ppl think that she’s reawakened some kind of dormant love in her for lotor after regaining more memories in s5, but that’s far from the case. someone who’s become and lived as she has for 10,000 years doesn’t suddenly care well about someone she’s abused horribly because she realizes she gave birth to them, and doesn’t suddenly become sympathetic in the good way because she’s “motherly” now. (not if the writing’s supposed to be decent, anyway.) she realizes lotor’s about to die and does absolutely nothing else except turn on the magic shiro television in her lab. she only finds out after the black bayard exchange has already happened, and she’s haggar. if she really wanted to stop what was happening, she could’ve done a lot more than just watch through shiro’s eyes. she’s a horrible person, folks, and lotor would do best to never see her again. (unfortunately, it’s much more likely that she will fuck his shit up some more next season. rip.)

zarkon. hopefully he actually stays dead this time, but i’ve seen some good points on how sketchy his ability to stay dead is. nevertheless, all memory of him deserves to be banished to the nether realms. lotor should never have to deal with that asshole’s legacy again.

misc. thoughts:

anyone who talks about lotor getting/not getting/deserving/not deserving a redemption arc makes me lose my shit because he hasn’t even done anything to warrant a redemption arc in the first place like tbfh. evil deeds whomst?? trying to kill voltron when?? where are these receipts of malice??? he’s never done an evil damn thing but y’all humoring the concept anyway. smh.

anyway, lotor needs a therapist, healing, and some good fucking friends. @dreamworks give lotor a recovery arc 2k18.

[urfavmurtad]

Hi there! I really like your blog, I'm from a religious family myself and struggling with a lot of similar things. I'm Jewish though, from an Orthodox family, not Muslim. I have always wanted to ask someone this, but I never wanted to offend them, so let me ask you (I hope you will not be offended!), why does it seem like there is so much hatred of Jews in many Muslim countries? It is just because of Israel? Because to me it seems like hatred *of Jews*, not just *of Israel*.

Hello anon, I am glad to hear it. I’ve always lowkey wanted Jewish followers to talk to me but idk how to say that without it being weird??

Antisemitism…. yeah it’s a real thing tbh. And yes it targets Jews, not just Israel. The Jew-hating screeds are all very clearly against the “yahud” (Jews). At least in Arab countries. Though I just looked it up and it seems fairly widespread in Muslim countries in general (this is from here).

I mean… even compared to other non-Muslim groups, there is obviously a big problem here, except in Pakistan where people admirably hate everyone equally.

Israel does have something/a lot to do with it, there’s no doubt about that. Not to justify any antisemitism, but there is a clear association between Israel and Jews, and a clear association between Israel and Muslim oppression. Most of these same people would howl if anyone dared blame their religious group for the actions of one government, of course…. but the roots of it go deeper than that, and are older than most of us want to acknowledge. We pretend it’s not true, but antisemitism did not magically spring up in the 20th century.

The idea that Jews were treated well throughout all of Muslim history is a big lie that we’re indoctrinated into believing. Arab kids everywhere, whether they’re religious or not, are genuinely taught that Jews and other religious minorities were happy under Arab rule, and generally “Muslim rule” in the MENA region, until The Zionists came around. We’re taught from kindergarten that there was no anti-Semitism in Muslim countries before this, that the concept was Western. It is something said so frequently and with such conviction that few people ever think about it.

This is a lie, of course. There were massacres, institutionalized oppression and discrimination, forced conversions, and genocides all throughout MENA history. As in Europe, some eras and places were better than others. Often the situation deteriorated rapidly. The Jews were sometimes targeted for religious reasons, sometimes because they were perceived to be too wealthy or corrupt, sometimes because they were seen as too friendly to outsiders or traitorous. Even in “good” times, daily discrimination and often even humiliation persisted; the “dhimmi laws” were often petty and cruel, from wearing distinctive clothing to having court testimony automatically count less due to your religion. It was not an era of tolerant coexistence, though admittedly Jewish and Christian minorities often traded places as the bottom of the religious ladder (as in under the Ottomans). It’s just that the history is virtually unknown by Arabs themselves. I had no idea about any of this until I was maybe 15, 16 and got curious and looked it up. But many never even think to question it.

When times got really bad, the reasons were usually the same as the reasons for anti-Semitic pogroms in Europe. The Jews were perceived as too wealthy or influential, like in al-Andalus in a lynch mob in 1066 or a near-total extermination in Fez in 1465. They were blamed for war struggles, like a genocide in Yemen in the 17th century. They were caught up in periods of religious vigor like a series of forced conversionsin 19th century Sudan and 12th century Cordoba. Of course, the mass exiles and depopulations of Arab countries in the 20th century after Israel was declared a state was its own unique sort of discrimination. And now most Israeli Jews are descended from the people who were kicked out of those countries… because of Israel. Arabs creating their own damn problems as per usual smh.

Anyway, to relate this back to the topic at hand, the question seems to be more about Islam than Arabs as a group. So the question is, is there antisemitism within the religious texts of Islam that might help give rise to these feelings of hating Jews among Muslims in general (vs just among Arabs). The answer is yes. The Quran itself is antisemitic. Mohammed really goddamn hated the Jewish tribes around him in his Medina days and it shows. The entire fifth surah is one long Borat rant about The Jews. I mean, he didn’t like any non-Muslims, but the Jews really get the shit end of the stick in the Medina suwar. 5:82 literally says that the Jews and polytheists are ones who treat Muslims the worst whereas the Christians (while still doomed to hell!) are not as bad.

It says (multiple times) not to take Jews or Christians as auliya (allies/helpers/friends), it calls Jews greedy and deceitful, it frequently blames Jews for the misdeeds of past generations like killing “the prophets” (which does not include Jesus, incidentally, the Jews only thought they killed him… actually no one really knows wtf prophets he was talking about but that’s a separate story). Their beliefs are mocked repeatedly, often when Mohammed didn’t even get their beliefs correct. He was particularly obsessed with the notion of Allah’s continued punishment of the Jews for the disbelieving actions of Moses’ followers, saying that they had to keep kosher as a “punishment”. Another tale from Moses’ day was the oft-repeated story of how Allah transformed Sabbath-breaking Jews into apes and pigs, a story that kids who attend Islamic schools will hear like 500 times by the time they graduate, as the Quran relates this punishment to Mohammed’s contemporary Jews who rejected his message.

So… it’s bad, is the point. The ahadith are even worse but I don’t want to overwhelm you lmao, you can just sort of… browse through them at your leisure. I’m sure you’ve at least heard this one before. And yes, much of it is repeated as “the truth” even today. Some very well-meaning people will try to fight against this by saying “context!!!” etc, but Mohammed’s rants were against, simply, the Jews, often in a multi-generational, multi-cultural sense. Not… military-age male fighters and evildoers of the Banu Nadir and Banu Qurayza tribes of the time (both of which were Jewish and met appalling ends; the “Khaybar” dumbass rallying cries you hear sometimes are in reference to a battle against them). So while it’s truly nice that they’re at least trying to stamp out religious-based antisemitism, it’s unclear to me if they have much of a leg to stand on here…

Uh, this is a lot longer than I thought it was gonna be lmao but I hope I answered your question? Please come off anon and talk to me, if you want, bc there’s so much I want to know about a lot of Jewish-related topics and idk where to even begin!
