#so all of those are really shit arguments

[cybermannete]

gimme a big boy. - tony (smut)

all i can say about tony is that put me in a room with him and one of us is leaving pregnant.

(contains: heavy smut, straight up porn with no plot im sorry, tony being a rough yet really sweet dom, doggy style, dirty talk.. yeah you know how it goes.)

Tony had reaaaally high stamina. Despite how exhausted your muscles were and how much your cunt screamed from overstimulation, Tony made sure to hold you up, a strong arm around your stomach or massive hands gripping your hips and delivering a smack at your ass once every few thrusts.

You clutched a pillow to yourself, biting into the corner of the fabric as you struggled to keep yourself quiet. Tony was relentless with how he drilled himself into the warm, tight walls of your sopping cunt. He had already came once, deep inside of you. Tony bit his lip as he watched cum squirt and drip out of you.

"Look at that.. couldn't even keep it all in, eh?" He chuckled, leaning forward and cupping your jaw with his hand. You whined, a strangled mewl leaving your throat as he spanked your ass once more. He cooed an "aww" into your ear at your noises, to which he replied. "I know, I know, pretty girl.. you're doing such a good job.. just sit there and keep those pretty lips open so I can hear you."

He was such an ass sometimes.. You remembered how you got here. An argument. It was over something so stupid. You guys never argued over something serious, it was always stupid shit. You had gotten angry, Tony kept being a little shit and pushing your buttons, and now here you were. Letting him fuck the attitude out of you.

His fingers reached down, his finger and thumb lightly pinching and rubbing your clit, which made you grip the sheets of the bed even tighter. Tony will never forget that beautiful sound you made when he did that. The pleasure of his cock throbbing deep in your gummy walls plus him touching you there.. you were certain you were going to cum again any second now.. which time was it? You had no clue. You don't even remember your name or where you were.

"You're so beautiful like this, hon." He whispered into your ear through small grunts and strangled groans as he struggled to maintain his own composure. "You like when I fuck you like this? Touching you, loving on this pretty little cunt?"

He was too good at this.

You nod pathetically, an incoherent babble leaving your lips. Tony kisses your swollen lips in answer, and he sighs. "Such a sweet girl." He then drops his head onto your shoulder, his moans growing louder as you felt his cock twitch. At the same time, your walls were pulsating tightly around him, and your abdomen felt like a rope was being tightened more and more.. "Fuck- Fuck, I'm gonna cum-" He muttered, his grip on you tightening his and fingers on your clit working faster. "Lemme hear you- Lemme hear you baby-"

You toss your head back, your vision growing white and your body growing red hot. You squealed, your legs growing numb as you collapse on the bed. Your breathing was out of control, labored, and you were spent. Tony wasted no time in shushing you, wrapping strong arms around you and pulling you to him. He pressed kisses to your cheek and neck, murmuring soothing and loving things to you as he rode out his own orgasm. He was soft again, in both ways. (Just kidding.)

Tony sighs, a satisfied smile on his face. ".. I love you so much, sweet girl."

you and dilf!chris get into a heated argument and the only way for you to forgive him is if he obeys you

── .✦. ──

“c’mon mama y’know i didn’t mean it” chris says as he reaches for your hand, you ignore him and swat him away. you roll your eyes and walk towards the living room as if he’s not even there.

“don’t be like that sweetheart, m’sorry you know that.”

he’s right behind you, and as soon as you hear those words you turn around to face him. a confused look plastered on his face, he really doesn’t know what he did? is he serious right now?

“no i don’t, because i have yet to hear a genuine fucking apology from you chris. are you that dense that you don’t know what you did?” you scoff, “w-well no..? i mean if you would tell me then we could fix this.” an arrogant tone twinge in his voice.

“you embarrassed me in front of your stupid friends, flaunting about our sex life and telling everyone our business, i don’t want them knowing what we do in the comfort of our own home.” you blurt out, not caring anymore. “really? ok look m’sorry okay? i sh-“ you cut off his “apology” to say something, “well i don’t forgive you, you owe me something more.”

he looks confused again, “what- what do you mean more?” he asks, “im in control tonight, since you wanna tell everyone how you’re the one in control.” you grab him by his shirt to pull him closer, “got it?” his eyes widen at the sudden change in behavior but none the less he cooperates.

“okay — yeah s’all you tonight baby, m’all yours.” he swallows the lump in his throat before being dragged by his wrist to the bedroom.

once you get there you sit on the edge of the bed, his disheveled figure standing above you waiting for you to speak again. “y’wanna make it up to me?” he nods yes, “get on your knees then.” he immediately drops down, looking up at you with the most gentle look ever.

“well come on baby, you know what to do.” your hand is tangled in his hair while you tug towards your soaked pussy, he scrambles to slide down your mini skirt and panties — hurrying his actions before you deny him anything.

before you know it his mouth closes around the throbbing bud between your folds and he sucks gently, your grip tightens around his curls, “f-fuck baby — such a good boy.. makin’ me feel s’good yeah?” he hums in agreement, his eyes flicker up to yours.

“aww sweetheart look at you, eyes all blown out and cock straining against your jeans you’re so cute. too bad you’re not gonna come anytime soon yeah?”

he quickly comes up to protest against you, so close to begging you for a release in any way but before he can get a word out your shoving him back into your wet folds.

his hands curl around your thighs and holds them apart, keeping you nice and open for him to make you feel every bit of his mouth working at you.

“y’look so pretty like that baby, maybe i should have you like this all the time — on your knees devouring me while you make a pathetic attempt at humping my leg, try that one more time and see what happens.”

he whines at your harsh words and mumbles a small “okay” you smile at how obedient he was being, you had never seen this side to him before and you were hoping to see again soon.

you tug at his messy hair while you cum, “oh my- fuck! oh y’so good chris, so perfect for me baby..” the bottom half of his face is dripping while he tries to catch his breath.

before you know it you had him underneath you begging to cum while he thrusts up inside you to chase that release you had made him hold off on. “plea- please ma, m’so sorry — i didn’t mean it please” the sound of skin slapping and heavy breathing filled the room, you grip his jaw to make him look at you.

“come on, i need something better than that” you grin and slap your hips down onto him, making him hit that spot inside that pushed you closer and closer to the edge.

“please ma��� i’ll be g-good! it won’t ever happen again i pr- shit i promise. just please let me cum —“ he’s basically on the verge of tears, you take a second to take it all in — him underneath you, begging, whining and crying for your permission to come.

it makes your head spin to see him like this, all needy for you. you decided to let him have it, “go ahead baby, cum for me.” he groans while thrusting up one more time before releasing all inside of you, you collapse onto his chest as you came right after him.

you both sit in comfortable silence while trying to catch your breath, its interrupted by you saying, “oh we are SO doing that again, you’re so fucking pretty when y’get like that” chris rolls his eyes before wrapping his arms around you, “well i mean you were pretty hot getting all aggressive and mad at me soo..”

[neurotica-tales]

I saw a prompt from @yandere-romanticaa a couple days ago, and it just gave me so many idea about what to write so here it is—a Modern AU of Yandere Zhongli with a Reader who wants a divorce. They've also written a story for said prompt so make sure to check it out!

The original prompt for it is below.

"Imagine a modern AU in which you're married to Zhongli. He's a rich businessman and you married out of love as years passed by your love just went off into the air. You don't give two shits about him, he makes you miserable, he's never home, and you hate how other women just so openly drool at him, like you're not there. You're tired of feeling jealous and worthless, you're taking your life back and the first step is to divorce him.

You don't even know how open he is with his affections with you at work, how he smiles whenever he talks about you, how his heart (and pants really) tighten whenever he thinks about you, you're his world. Some gush, some admire, others hate it, it's quite the spectacle.

Imagine his shock when you throw the divorce papers at him, demanding that he signs them.

Things are about to get ugly." — yandere-romanticaa

P.S. This story will be in parts, so stay tuned!

Signed in Stone (Yandere Zhongli x Reader) [Modern AU]

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

You married him for love. And for a while, it was everything—a whirlwind of affection, reverence, and quiet devotion. But time wore down even the deepest vows, and Zhongli, ever composed, began to fade from your life without a single argument or betrayal—just absence. You were tired. Lonely. Jealous of how the world still admired him while you felt invisible beside him.

So you made the only choice you could: you asked for a divorce.

But Zhongli does not believe in endings. Not for something written in stone.

Now, as you try to reclaim your freedom, you’re beginning to realize just how far he’ll go to keep you by his side.

Even love, when eternal, can become a cage.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

You’d thought about it for weeks. Maybe longer. The idea had crept in on quiet feet, slipping into your thoughts like the hum of city traffic outside the penthouse windows—constant, low, impossible to ignore. You didn’t plan for it. No one ever does. Not when they marry for love.

And you did love him. Once.

You remember those early days with clarity so sharp it almost hurts: your fingers tangled in his tie, the way he used to bring your hand to his lips in the middle of conversations like he couldn’t help himself, the late nights spent wrapped in his arms as his voice rumbled in your ear about things older than time. He had always spoken about history as if it was alive. And with him, it had felt like it was.

But time stretches things thin. And Zhongli—well, he was never around.

It started gradually. A late meeting here. An urgent business trip there. One day turned into three, turned into a week. He always sent messages, of course. Gifts. Flowers delivered to your office, your favorite wine appearing in the fridge, handwritten notes that looked like they belonged in a museum. He was never cruel. Never loud. He didn’t fight with you. He didn’t cheat.

He just disappeared. Slowly. Softly. Until all that was left was the echo of what he used to be.

And you were so tired.

Tired of the silence in the house. Tired of the way he would come home after midnight and slip into bed without a word. Tired of how the world seemed to worship him while you felt like a ghost.

Worst of all, you were tired of how jealous you felt.

They stared at him. Everywhere. The waitresses who lingered at your table. The women in meetings who leaned in too close. The interns at his company who looked at him like he hung the damn moon. And he never noticed. Or maybe he did, but thought it beneath him to care.

You used to be proud to stand beside him. Now you just felt… invisible.

So you made a decision.

You were going to take your life back.

The papers were in your hand. Neatly prepared, signed on your end. The lawyer had reviewed everything. All it needed now was his signature. Clean. Civil. You didn’t want his money. You didn’t want revenge. You just wanted out.

When you stepped into his office, he looked up like he always did—calm, polite, that unreadable expression carved into his handsome face. He was seated behind his desk, the skyline of Liyue sprawling behind him through floor-to-ceiling windows. His tie was loosened. His sleeves were rolled. Golden eyes flicked to you, softening instantly.

"What a pleasant surprise. What brings you here, my dear?" he said, standing up.

You walked straight to the desk and set the folder down. Divorce papers. Plain as day.

His eyes didn’t move. Not right away. He kept looking at you like he hadn’t heard you right. Like he was waiting for you to laugh and take it back.

You didn’t.

"I want a divorce, Zhongli."

The silence that followed was monumental.

And that was when everything started to fall apart.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

He did not sit. He did not move. He stood there as if carved from the same stone his company mined—unmoving, unreadable.

"A divorce," he repeated slowly, as if tasting the word. As if it were foreign on his tongue.

You nodded, your jaw tight. "Yes. I'm done. I'm not angry. I’m just… finished."

His expression didn't change, but something in the room did. The air. The pressure. A stillness you couldn’t quite place settled over everything, like the moment before a storm hits.

"I see," he said at last. His voice was level. Impeccably composed. "And you’ve made this decision entirely on your own?"

You blinked. "Yes. Of course. Who else—?"

"Forgive me," he interrupted gently, "but you must understand how unexpected this is. If I’ve failed you in any way—"

You shook your head. "No. That’s the thing. You haven’t done anything. That’s the problem. I don’t feel like I exist in your life anymore. And I don’t want to keep disappearing like this."

Another long pause.

He walked around the desk slowly, his movements fluid and precise. Every step was measured, as if walking some sacred path. He came to stand in front of you, so close you could smell the familiar trace of incense and polished wood that always lingered on him.

"You are not a passing thought to me," he said quietly. "You never have been."

You glanced away. "Then you’ve got a strange way of showing it."

He didn’t argue. He didn’t raise his voice. He simply looked at you like you were made of glass. Fragile. Sacred.

"I see," he said again, softer this time.

You turned to leave. You couldn’t stay any longer. Not in that office. Not with the weight of those eyes on you. You needed air. Space. Time to breathe.

But just before your hand reached the door, his voice cut through the silence.

"I’ll sign them."

You stopped.

"But not today."

You turned back, startled. "Why not?"

He smiled gently. Not kindly. Not cruelly. Just… inevitably.

"Because I believe you're mistaken," he said. "And I think you’ll realize that soon."

Your breath caught.

"You can’t—"

"I can," he said. "And I will."

He moved back to his desk, picking up the folder with the divorce papers. He flipped it open, scanned it, then set it aside as if it meant nothing. As if it were a simple contract delayed for later.

"Come home," he said. "Take time to think. I’ll have tea waiting."

You stared at him. "That’s it?"

"You’re tired," he said. "And tired people make poor decisions."

And then, as though nothing had happened at all, he sat down and resumed his work.

You walked out, your legs trembling. You told yourself it didn’t mean anything. That he was just being stubborn. That he’d come around.

But somewhere deep in your bones, you felt it—the shift.

He was never going to let you go.

Trans, lesbians, whatever

Right! Author's note before we begin: So I wrote this first over a week ago and it was incredibly crass and near illegible. I was going to reword this to be more respectful and calm. And I did! I removed four whole fucks. I have been flooded with asks on this, and I've seen the discourse, and yes. I have touched grass. This will be the last I say on it as well, if it comes up again I'll just reblog this. Here goes.

we cannot be having "who's a lesbian" discourse again sit the fuck down. This isn't targeted at anyone in particular but more a general point. This is going to be fairly generic so it can be applied any time this comes up in future. I really hope it won't though in any form bc its fucking pointless. With all the struggles our community is facing right now, even if that's a thought youre contemplating in your head, consider that it shouldn't make the top 36 problems you're willing to open your phone for. I hope we understand each other.

And if you see it don't engage directly no matter your opinion. Don't reblog posts of videos, don't chat shit in comments. Take that energy and put it towards community organising to help trans youth in your area or some shit ok?

having the fight won't change anyone's mind. This is not one of those instances where having the argument is a net positive for the community because someone will see that there are people fighting for their cause. This is just destructive. With everything going on this is not how I want to spend my time and I'm really disappointed with how some of us have prioritised over pride month.

The act of the fight will only cause rifts in the community.

The act of the fight will only cause rifts in the community.

There is no worth here. There is no benefit in the outcome of the fight that outweighs the cost of having it. There is no win to be had. Our community will not strengthen if everyone comes to the same opinion on how to define lesbianism. Arguing in hypotheticals and margins and the degree to which labels should shackle us is a waste of our energy. If someone has a take you slightly disagree with or has a shitty rhetoric behind it, go search for a group you can donate time / money / energy that support queer & trans people in your area. Love to all trans people, love to all lesbians.

United we stand.

[bewitched-hours]

Hihihihihihihi i'm back from crashing outtesayfiudshisfuufbl

Anyway i'm sorry if my friend had annoyed you, me too if i annoyed you (it wont happen again i promise)/srs/pos

Anyway i guess i only exist in ur blog to continew the fic ^q^ (The bluudud one tho i want to req for something else after its finish)

Anywas after a while the spectre got really REALLY annoyed and decided to give reader imnsomina to make her go crazy or sum shit since ofc the spectre is cruel and doesn't want anybody to have a happy ending like an asshole they are. Did that stop bluudud, absolutly NOT! He still finds a way to make her sleep and goodjob he's ofically has a crush on her ^o^

I'm burned out and hopefully there's a part 5 or 6 (if i have idea )

-Kikiki Anon

Dw Kikiki! It's honestly pretty hard to annoy me lol I have technically already started writing on this but I can luckily just cut and paste what I have into here so nothing's lost! (And a part 5 would definitely have to be requested lol)

Reader has once. more. again. She/Her-

"NO- I'm not doing that!" Bluudud protested.

You had been watching him play one of your favourite games and although he's grown to actually like it since it had a more complicated advancement system than he expected, he's still stubborn on some of your requests.

But you were huffy. Today was one of those days where you had trouble forming actual words because you were thrown into so many rounds the 'day' prior so today you just communicated with motions.

But what was Bluudud protesting against?

Well, you wanted him to take in a black cat he found in the caves after battling a boss. He didn't want to though because the added responsibility was annoying to him.

"[Reader], I swear-" He grumbled as you bumped your head against him in a stubborn motion. It wasn't rough or anything, just slightly harder than your usual(and affectionate) bumps. Your low growls told him you weren't budging but combined with the bump, it was more like a plea to just do it.

"Ugh, fine..." You finally heard him say before the game announced the cat had been rescued. You were so happy your tail thumped against the ground a couple times before you bumped him again with a satisfied purr coming from you.

You were like a cat yourself and it certainly didn't help that Bluudud started petting you in private whenever you won in an 'argument'. "You're lucky I enjoy the ego-boost..."

Although his words may sound clear, you knew he enjoyed your presence. You just didn't let anyone mention it or tease him about it because that usually ended with him completely ignoring you for Spectre knows how long until he gives into your charms again.

To be fair, it was pretty funny to watch you nearly bodyslam into the other killers like an unaware seal whenever they're about to bring up how you get special treatment from him.

But the Spectre wasn't exactly one to let the routine continue...

So, it decided to give you violent hallucinations to prevent you from sleeping or even leaving your room at night. And who was first to notice? Of course Bluudud.

The lack of sleep had you turn aggressive and a lot more irritable... It made you act almost like 1x... (Please don't come for me 1x simps)

Frankly, it annoyed everyone even more than if you had just been made to forget again.

It was bad enough that you'd attack and scream at the hallucinations which sometimes woke up the others but they didn't want to deal with you attacking them too so they usually waited it out and got used to the noise.

All but one...

"Alright, alright, stop!" His voice grabbed your attention immediately as you froze in place, body still shaking from the hallucinations attacking you.

But instead of saying anything else, Bluudud grabbed one of your front paws and dragged you onto your bed. You shortly took notice that the blood on your paws and on the bed didn't stain him...

It wasn't real...

But without so much as a second thought, he huffed and practically pushed your head against his chest. "There. If I don't react to it, it's not real, got it?" His tone was rather annoyed but you could still detect the softness in his voice that you were used to as you emitted a quiet purr and with your arms wrapped around him, you could finally sleep thanks to the sound of his heartbeat.

He was real... Because how could you hallucinate someone like him?

To the fortune of the other killers, this became a habit. You'd fight your hallucinations, Bluudud interrupts and forces you to sleep by showing you what is actually real.

And let's be honest, your purring helped him sleep too but you know not to let him know that-

But if the Spectre couldn't get you to be in a panic at night, might as well extend the hallucinations to the rounds!

They would plague you during these hunts, taunting you and making you even more aggressive than you already were as you'd rip the survivors to shreds and immediately run to Bluudud when the round was over.

He was safe. He told you what was or wasn't real and he let you feel more sane.

Did you have attachment issues? Probably.

But did he welcome your affection all the same? Abso-fucking-lutely.

It was a bit comical to watch him alternate between being affectionate in his grumpy ways and yelling that he wasn't getting soft... Even though he was.

"Seriously?! Him???" Pr3typriincess had dragged you off to another tea party for gossip but this time you had decided to tell her about your little crush on your little streamer.

You could only shrug, slightly embarrassed as you weren't sure what the problem was. "He gives me special treatment, what can I say?" You chuckled awkwardly, sipping your tea as you could only listen to her rant about what a mess you are if you think someone like Bluudud fits for you...

But it later turned out you made a mistake telling her as she and c00lkidd began planning to set you both up immediately.

First it was through simple stuff. Luring Bluudud to outings using you as a bargaining chip, pushing you to show some extra affection and whatnot...

It was surprisingly effective. Bluudud didn't question anything and just allowed you to basically start doing more couple things. He'd even admit that you two basically were one now but not to tell anyone else.

Though your expression did betray that promise when Pr3typriincess had asked about it...

Anything you'd like to request/ask? Check out my pinned post first and I'll be happy to write up whatever you want!

[olderthannetfic]

okay but unironically i think that guy put it pretty well. when working with two characters you didn't make, it's "don't like don't read" and "ship and let ship" acting like fanworks are exempt from criticism just because it's a fanfic on ao3 and not a published book. like other people on the internet owe you silence instead because that public, open comments box is for compliments and praise only.

but the second you actually made both of those characters, the way people treat you as a writer is COMPLETELY different. not only are people going to tell you everything they have wrong with what you've made (y'know, because this one isn't exempt from having anything bad said about it like fanfic is) as well as what they have wrong with you as a person, and you're a piece of shit and a bad writer who will never improve if you don't want to listen.

if it's fanfic, other people are obligated to give you silence if they didn't like it. only comment if they have something good to say, which simply isn't there in a lot of fics imo. ONLY talk about the good things and completely ignore the bad, because it might hurt the authors feewings. but if it's original fic, you as the author are obligated to hear everything your audience have to say, no matter how hateful or vitriolic, no matter how against your vision for your work. neither one of these are true and it is absurd how much we act like they are. we give fanfic writers carte blanche freedom and coddle them from critique of their work because "they just made it for fun and it isn't that serious," but we don't extend that same courtesy to original fic writers at all, who are also making fic for fun and it isn't that serious.

fanworks are not suddenly on a different level from a published work. better or worse. more apt to be criticized for its quality or less. authors are not more or less obligated to listen to that criticism if they write fanfic, or original fic.

(i think i sent that ask without the link just now but it was this guy i was talking about 😭)

When I skimmed his tumblr before, he struck me as a reasonably skilled writer of slightly mean-spirited but mostly well-observed satire.

I guess my response would be "Which people?" Yes, there are people in fandom with bad attitudes about pro writers, but what percentage are they? Are they really the same ones who have such-and-such a specific attitude about fic? Even people with a double standard don't necessarily precisely resemble this unflattering portrait.

But yes, when there was the other ask that sent me his way, I did let out an actual laugh when I read:

"So, in conclusion, fandom is a joyful and creative space for anyone over 21 who wants to get into endless arguments about which cartoon characters are ******* each other"

i need your heacanons what armand finds hot about daniel because my brain is rotting

ok, well first of all armand thinks daniel being a cunt is hot as fuck so jot that down ! he's got a little nasty/mean streak that simply tickles armand, he can't help himself. they're vampires and his boy's occasional cruelty gets him going. also as much as it pisses him off, i think daniel being smart enough to untangle his web of lies/manipulative ways really turns armand on. it's like enrichment for both of them. my ideal domestic devil's minion scenario is armand lying/manipulating re: inconsequential shit and daniel clocking it and calling him out. i think armand also loves that daniel is an argumentative brat. fighting as foreplay etc etc. you get it. also !!!! i think older daniel is sooooo hot to armand specifically because so much emphasis has been put on armand's beauty and youthfulness and he's been sexualized so much specifically for those traits. and since he's forever trapped in amber in that youthfulness, i think age and the proof of a life fully lived is just.... so so so so beautiful to him. finally, since daniel canonically has big fangs while armand canonically has tiny kitten fangs and biting between vampires in the books is a metaphor for sex, i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that armand thinks daniel's big big fangs are very hot too lmao

[captaincowabunga]

first, cut clips arent cannon.

second caitlyn also apologized just not verbally as one of the biggest points in the show are actions speak louder than words. cait makes amends for what she did to vi by showcasing a big amount of trust by giving vi a choice with what she wants to do with jinx. in s2 jail cell scene when she says you really think i needed all the gaurds. shes saying she gave jinx and vi a open door to escape and live a happy life. caitlyn was willing to give up the love of her life if it meant her being happy. and no caitlyn isnt abusive. a fighting and conflict does not equal abuse and yes i will be comparing it to jayvik and timebomb bc they have just as much if not worse conflict as those to that yall just choose to completely skip past so you can continue to belittle this one lesbian ship and pretend like its the only one with problems.

not once did i say it was okay to hit mascs and expect them to stay idk where the hell you got that from because now your just pulling shit out of ur ass that i did not once say. caitlyn didnt force the badge she offered it. yes she was upset when vi refused not because she wanted to force vi into an uncomfortable position but because as she stated “if wvery enforcer had a heart like yours we could take on noxus itself”

caitlyn knows vi has a good heart and she wanted vi to be on the team to help take care of the crimes as she knew vi would be familiar with the undercity and how to handle it appropriately. it was vi’s choice to take that badge and she chose to wear that badge because she felt responsible for jinxs bad actions and knew she need to do smth to redeem it.

and unfortunately for you the physics are different in that show and it was confirmed by the writers. yall cant be talking abt “thats not how gas works it doesnt make sense” when like i said there are magical gems, furry hybrid ppl, vi’s dad is a giant werewolf, and vi carries gauntlets that are 200 pounds each like its light weight. and ekko being able to turn back time, traveling different universes. do yall really think real life physic logic matters in this show? there is literal magic. the physics are different in this show period. you can be upset about it but in reality its the truth and youre only upset about it bc it takes away another argument yall have “cait gassed the entirety of the lanes” by proving she didnt.

dont tell me i sound like a child when u are using your opinions as argument when this is a debate abt canon show interactions and conflict, coming up with things i never even said, and overall being hypocritical and egotistical because yall cant take the L for once

most cait stans (such as myself) can take the L in the fact that what caitlyn did was wrong and she definitely should have handled it differently. something yall cant understand tho or accept no matter how much evidence we give you is that caitlyn is not nearly as bad at she seems, yall are way overreacting it and watering down words with powerful meaning by labeling a fictional character as such even tho that character does not even closely resemble the meaning of those words.

again you wanna talk abt me sounding like a child when at least i can use the fact that i AM a child as an excuse. I am 15 handing you plenty of canon critical evidence, quotes from writers and pulling shit directly from the show. You are 21 worried about a fictional character and comparing its defenders to isreal from what ive seen one of ur most recent reblogs which in general is just fucking psycho not even immature just actually psycho when you should be more worried on which employment would help you be a little bit less chronically online or maybe retake a course or smth on how to actually write good character development and conflict.

“the writers literally said they got bored with vi’s character!”

Eat my ass its literally the “fans” saying that bs i cannot wait until these fake ass fans leave this fandom 💔

cuz why is it the ONLY thing yall will listen to when it comes to the writers is something they didnt even say?

yall denied EVERYTHING Amanda overton said that canonically proved caitvi wasnt actually toxic and basically denied everything else the writers said but you’re absolutely dick riding this misinfo. hop off bro 💔

Stumbled upon a Reddit thread (don't ask) where people still whine and bitch about having to pick the "Nah, fucked that up too," dialogue option at the Oil fields to have a good relationship with Johnny. Saying that it needs to get fixed, calling it 'antagonizing' him, further proving that they don't understand him or his friendship with V at all. Sorry, but what's still not clicking? Holding him accountable for what he did and being honest with him is the only way you can have a good relationship with him for a reason.

It's not scolding him, it's not being mean, it's just V telling him 'No, what you did hurt me and I can't trust you anymore.' And he needs that, he needs someone who won't let him get away with the shit he does, he needs someone who is honest with him and won't just agree with everything he says so that he can grow and change. He knows he royally messed up, but he needs to hear that from V too. How do you expect V to have a true friendship with him if they just let him walk all over them and act like he did nothing wrong and everything's fine?

And it makes sense that the devs chose this as the secret ending unlocker because you can't have them storm Arasaka Tower together in full synergy when some parts of them are still at odds with each other.

Listen, I love Johnny as much as we all do here, but he needs to be called out when he messes up, and that's that.

Not really loving how my post about the left's love affair with eugenics and blood and soil ideology framed as "decolonization" got coopted into another "wait it's all Christianity??" "It always has been" post." Y'all are sticking your heads in the sand if you think this is a problem with "cultural Christianity." This is the exact same pattern we saw play out in the 1979 Iranian revolution and much of this ideology was coopted from the Nazis by the Soviets and reframed as progressive. This is not an issue with Western "cultural Christianity" and it would be great if Jumblr could stop engaging in the same "there's actually one secret root cause of every problem in the world and if we get rid of it we will have utopia" thing that antisemites have been using against Jews for 2000 years.

Sorry guys I gotta speak my truth on this one

I'm not kidding when I say that I think that blaming shit media literacy from fans on shipping/shippers avoids the actual root of the problem to throw people you can easily throw under the bus (simply because it's not unpopular to consider people who post about ships or ship characters in media as having lesser or derivative tastes by default)

And here's why.

I think when you blame people who are "shippers" or "consume media through shipping lenses", the true root of it all is a mindset problem.

In actually, putting on shipping lenses can be helpful when trying to analyze a piece of media. When analyzing media you're supposed to approach it through a number of mindsets and put on different lenses (both to deepen your personal understanding of the media, and to pick it apart and see what you can find there (whether intentional or not on the author's part)), and different ships can be some of those lenses

When it comes to ships between main characters (for those who are genuinely willing to see what the narrative is showing with their relationship and what it's doing), there are times when analyzing it from a shipping lens may be helpful. As someone from KH fandom, I have seen people come to deeper understandings and pick canon apart in the process of analyzing a relationship that is genuinely integral to the story (platonic or not). I've also seen people get into rarepairs of characters who barely interact or who just suffer little screen time, and I've seen them come to better understandings of those side characters and how they potentially fit into the world of the media simply because people are now focusing on these characters and how they fit into the narrative.

Frankly, I resent the idea that the only way to truly objectively analyze a piece of media is by turning off the part of your brain that gets excited over relationships and individual characters. Don't get me wrong, that is a way to approach a piece of media and a valid one at that, but the truth is that we cannot be free of bias.

For instance, I was watching House MD with my parents circa last year. At some point I started heavily tuning into what was going on with House and Wilson's relationship. My parents, on the other hand, were largely watching casually. They're not thinking of character relationships or getting heavily invested in most characters, they're watching because they like watching. One of them in particular did try to analyze things that were happening in the show as they happened. However, when it came to the scene late in the series where House threw out Dominika's letter approving her American citizenship, my parents could understand that he was doing that because he didn't want her to leave, but not much beyond that. I ended up explaining to them that House's fake marriage for Dominika was an explicit parallel to when Wilson was living with House in the early seasons. Both situations started with House being none too happy about it but ultimately letting them stay, spending a considerable amount of effort getting them to leave/getting this situation to be finally over so he didn't have to deal with it anymore, and then by the time a piece of news comes through that would mean the person in question actually leaves, House hides this news as long as he can. Because he doesn't actually want them to leave and has grown attached. And by doing this he became a self fulfilling prophecy. By reacting to the truth of Wilson and Dominika leaving him the way he does, he seals his fate and they ultimately leave anyways. Maybe I ship Hilson, but becoming open to how their relationship was handled allowed me to transition to doing character studies and recognizing patterns/parallels that I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't particularly care about the characters or their relationship.

Likewise, I've seen mutuals complain about how people who don't like or don't care about certain characters often overlook these characters (what they're actually like and their place in the narrative), while the mutuals in question (by default) are able to come to deeper understanding of what the writers/story is trying to do because they care about this funky guy

You can't eradicate bias when you're engaging in media analysis, but you can consciously put on a range of lenses and observe the media through different povs with the goal of understanding the media better or bolstering your reading of it. And those lenses/povs can include focusing on specific relationships or the perpective of certain characters

And this is why I say it's actually a mindset problem. Shippers and people who have this one blorbo they like a lot aren't inherently terrible "fandom brained individuals" who are the root of media analysis problems. The problem only arises when people's readings/analysis of a piece of media are inherently restrictive/narrow and self centered. Your problem is with people who view a piece of media through a ship they like but don't keep an open mind about it, and whose "media analysis"/views on canon cannot be split from fanon and their comfortability levels. These are the people whose "media analysis" starts and ends with justifying their fanon as canon, whose views on media revolve around sorting characters and relationships into categories they personally enjoy rather than trying to understand what's going on.

Here's another example.

Here we have a fictional ship we'll call uhhhh...Blanebin. this fictional ship I made up on the spot for characters that don't exist named Blane and Corbin

Person A is super into Blanebin. They're part of the main cast of characters and canonically childhood best friends, so person A (as much as they enjoy fanart and fic) is also enjoying analyzing how narratively important to each other they are. Recently, Corbin started dating another character in canon, but Person A is enjoying watching how Blane is reacting to this. "Is this potentially a tell that Blane is jealous or is having complicated feelings about this? What if he was, how would that contextualize his behavior this season? Here's what I think based on how Blane dealt with explicit jealousy last season in a different situation". It's not impossible that person A is still missing further understanding due to their obsession with Blanebin, but at the end of the day this obsession has allowed them to start picking through the characters both in and outside this relationship. It has allowed them to see potential subtext and theorize on what might happen next with these characters' relationship. Not to mention that with addition of Corbin dating someone else, instead of trying to erase this fact or state that Corbin canonically isn't into that person, Person A is trying to factor in how Corbin's current dating life affects his relationship with Blane (irregardless on personal views on the nature of Corbin's relationship with the person he's dating).

Person B is also super into Blanebin. They really enjoy fanart and fic of the characters, love obsessing over their moments together, and just feel like there's really something between the characters. To person B, every moment between them is just further proof that the writers are ship teasing them. But Corbin getting together with someone else this season? Oh that pissed person B off. They cannot believe that even though Corbin and Blane are CLEARLY gay for each other the writers had Corbin get with someone else this season. Perhaps, they think, it was even a decision specifically made to spite fans. How evil of the writers to tease a perfectly good ship and then have them not get together first? They must have been just doing those teases to get views from Blanebin shippers those scoundrels. To Person B, since Corbin started dating someone when he obviously has some chemistry with Blane (even though the series is far from over) means that Blanebin can never get together now and Corbin x person he's dating is ruining Blanebin by existing. In fact, they think, this is terrible writing for Corbin to be dating someone else because they don't like that relationship and don't see the point. Obviously if the writers were good then Corbin would have started dating Blane instead because this was supposed to be the Blanebin show.

Person C despises Blanebin. Don't get them wrong, they've always enjoyed the character's childhood friendship, but they actually have always thought Blane would have been better off with Victoria. They have a lot of moments too! But they're tired of seeing people ship Blanebin. Corbin just got together with someone else, so obviously that's not gonna work out. Plus Corbin and Blane totally has always given person C bro vibes. In fact, person C thinks, sure Corbin and Blane have a close friendship, but people shouldn't be shipping them. Person C likes Blanetoria and Blanetoria can't be canon if Corbin is in the way of it. So Person C likes to read Blanebin as siblings anyways. Sure they're canonically friends, but obviously their friendship turned into brotherhood. This means that nothing can be in the way of Blanetoria and Corbin can keep dating the person he's already canonically dating. Actually, now Blanebin just straight up makes Person C uncomfortable. Don't the pesky shippers understand that Blanebin are sibling coded because they're childhood best friends and that they're important to each other because they're brothers? It's obvious to anyone with eyes.

Sure, ships are involved here, but is the root of this problem shipping? Character A isn't as knowledgeable of other characters in the plot due to this lens they're using, but at the end of the day they're dedicated to analysis. Their love of the characters is pushing them beyond what they like or dislike to try to understand what might be happening through their lens. Not perfect, but they are slowly broadening their horizons. But Person B and C's problems here are their restrictiveness. What is or should be canon to them is tantamount to what they personally like or find comfortable. Is person C actually analyzing the this fake show when they decide to "read" Blanebin as basically canonically siblings (and this all of their moments are totally a bro thing) just because they don't like Blanebin and the idea of them getting together over Blanetoria makes them uncomfortable? Is person B actually analyzing this fake show when their "analysis" of Blanebin goes only as far as asserting it's being ship teased and deciding anything short of canonizing Blanebin is a targeted attack or "bad writing" because it's not what they wanted personally to happen?

This is what I'm talking about. This is the mindset. Shipping isn't the problem. The problem is when people marry fanon and canon to the point where they have a vested interest in superimposing their fanon over canon as "a reading" and trying to make "collective decisions" on what is canon (or what canon is trying to say) based on what does or doesn't make them uncomfortable. The problem is people being restrictive and centering their own likes and dislikes in the conversation, so they can only interact with canon "analysis" wise by deciding what is canon or should be canon "as obviously agreed on by everyone". You can't simply claim you like media analysis. To be able to analyze media and bolster your views on any given canon, you must be open to looking at it through multiple povs, to studying characters without trying to pretend things you don't like don't exist or do like do exist. There is a balance that must be kept between trying to keep objectivity and putting on specific focus/bias based upon the lenses you're putting on. You have to be willing to try to figure out what a media is doing or saying, not saying you're trying to figure out what it's saying while in actuality trying to define the narrative around what people believe it's saying in ways that suit you.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Callum has asked Rayla twice now to kill him if he's ever corrupted again. This time as like a barter. And this time, despite looking devastated, she finally (begrudgingly) agrees. And later this season, Callum is cleared of his dark magic corruption, but it also warned that if he does dark magic again it'll overwhelm him.

Man my dreams have already been haunted enough by death foreshadowing I can't take much more of it for these two.

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

Y'know this little throwaway gag is so bizarre to me and I know this game is a bit very different to 2 and 3 but look at Matt's reaction when Jack raids the place in 3:

You'd argue he's simply stopping Jack bc he hates this guy and he also hates this job which Could Be True but i highly doubt bc overall despite his virginity and overall cursed vibe, Matt seems to be a good employee, by all means (I mean, Peter literally gave him a vacation instead of firing him in 2, so that says a lot).

Plus, Dave hates this guy as much as he hates him! He literally always calls him creepy and, AND!

This is the only footage you get of the prize corner in 2. Which is also the first game to show Matt and Dave's disdain for one another, Dave being likely more scared of Matt than Matt will ever be of him.

Which is all very curious. 2 does set a drastic change for Matt too with him going from being just strange to outright creepy, so was the old pizza place closing something that actually affected him or was he consistently that creepy all along? And if the later, did he just start hating Dave after that or did they always have beef and they simply had some sort of arrangement (or even higher word from Steven who tended to let Dave do whatever he wanted in general) that let him do so?

Side Note

I like seeing other peoples views/ opinions/ takes especially if they're different to mine.

No matter how much I try to see something from another characters perspective I'm probably not going to be as understanding if they're not one of my favourites.

So, I like seeing the other side of things and the opinions of those who's favourite characters aren't the same as mine.
