[pleasuremostcarnal]

That moment where you see a cool game and the autism activated cause it seems cool and is similar to multiple other games you like and causes a fucking avalanche of ideas that you know won't go anywhere cause you aren't in a position to let the right people know much less be important enough to be considered

Animation can ALWAYS be more interesting by looking LESS realistic.

[mysicklove]

Mellooooo. I'm like obsessed with you rn. Like I want to send soany asks of nothing nothing just to talk to you

I AM EQUALLY OBSESSED WITH YOU DHEUDGEHWISHDHEUUWUWDHDGDGSGGE

[thelastbraincellofthehive]

Ok so, I was gonna do my thoughts on the new episode Yesterday, but I'm running on little sleep and just .. procesing lol but I I'll share some stuff now~

I gotta start by personality thanking Weiss for keeping me just barely out of the total depression zone after this episode lol I don't know where I would be if she wasn't around being silly and annoyed at everything lol she really made things better for all of us

That said she also really needs to talk about her problems. They all need it. But damn, I almost forgot that yes, this child lost her whole kingdom and doesn't even know if her family made it ok to Vaccuo. God Remnant is a mess!

I also have to thank Little for being adorable and making my life better lol seriously that 'I always wanted to Be Long, but I'm still just small' lives rent free in my head and I love it lol one of my highlights of the episode.

Bees!!! There were some of the best bees we've ever had!!! And we've had soany great moments before! But seriously, you can taste the happiness on Blake's tone!!! You can see the love in her eyes! And you can also feel the excitement and happiness from both Barb and Arryn and all of crwby on that whole scene! They've worked so hard for this! And it's finally happening!

Also loving the bi and lesbian colored flowers on that scene <3 I love how much crwby does to point to Blake as bi specially, ni characters ar often ignored/missclassified for the relationship they get into and I hate that. Blake's our Bi-Icon and she always will be

I didn't knew I needed Blake doing puns in my life lol but God it was glorious! Also it reminded me of that time Arryn said that she had troible voicing chibiBlake because 'Blake is so...not funny!' that she didnt know how to deliver the lines lol glad to see Blake's character growth, she deserves nothing less, and Arryn is killing it with the voice acting!

Speaking of voice Acting: Lindsay!!! OMG I've always been a huge fan of them as Ruby's voice actor, but theyre really stepping up their game this season! Hearing Ruby's voice being so devoided of emotion Is so painful to hear and Lindsay just sells it! 💔

Ruby has lost so, so much, and she hasn't even had time to mourn or just process... I feel like the moment when she saw the sword and broke was the moment she finally really understood that Penny was gone again... Like, I feel a part of her was still denying it, she wouldn't adress it directly or even accept to talk about It... But I mean, she isn't really talking about anything...

So maybe I'm just proyecting I guess

So it's official that emotions have an effect on Ever After's weather. The guards said that someone was purposefully ruining the king's birthday by making it rain. Yikes, this Is gonna get hard to watch... *Hugs Ruby*

I saw someone talk about The scene where Alice creates a flood with her tears and... Yeah, I can see that happening once Ruby finally reaches her límit. I'm so not ready

I had been sad for most of this episode, but Ruby's eulogy? I have not recovered. I don't think I ever will 😭😭😭😭😭 Penny deserved so much better.

Also as much as I would love to have Penny back again and for good... I think this chapter really made me feel like it's over with her, I'm not ok with it, but 'ces't la vie, right?

The girls asking Ruby is she's really ok with giving up the sword 😭😭 they all knew how important and special Penny was for Ruby and viceversa.

Ruby is definitely keeping that Sword tho, it's not even a question not just because of the tráiler (that I didn't watch but I've seen mentioned lol). According to Blake Alyx knew the object she was looking for because her heart told her and don't get me started on how much this says about Penny and Ruby's relationship 😭 you don't feel a pull on your heart for just about anyone! So that means Penny's Sword is the equivalent of Alyx's knife.

Also, I feel like Ruby will take the sword with her when they leave. Maybe as a second weapon, maybe she'll combine Crescent Rose with it like Jaune did with Pyrrha's armor

And Blake with the gold bit on Gambol Shroud but... Don't get me started on that I was honestly so disapointed on that after seeing the many cool designs the fandom had made lol

Anyways, I think it's important that Ruby felt the pull to the sword but Yang didn't really feel it towards her arm that is literally a part of herself.

The prices are so fascinating too and I think they're important on this point, but I linda want to make a separate post to talk about that because I have a lot to say lol. But the point is, the sword is Alyx's knife, that's gonna be important.

To end on a happy note: I'm never getting over Weiss hitting herself with the rock lol amazing, spectacular, perfect in every way.

And so, I think it's my time to go! I can't believe we're just two episodes in and things are already this good! And terrible! :D next saturday cannot come soom enough!

Next chapter: Ruby chanels her inner Beth Harmon, Lets wish her luck!

[powerpolyculeshowdown]

Bittersweet anon here, i hope this doesn't annoy you or is too long or anything and you don't have to post it if you don't want to but i just wanted to share my favorite bits of the threat with you because some parts of it made me think about our conversation about this whole thing:

"It is clear to everyone that this relationship is open to interpretations ranging from poly, to open with a +1, to platonic soul mates, etc right? And that this is left ambiguous due to the nature of the self-insert medium?" (this was a poll question he posted, where 98% of people answered yes and only 2% said no)

"I got a bunch of hate during Chapter 3 because I didn't explicitly state exactly what the relationship was, despite openly stating that any interpretation be it romantic, platonic, etc. was valid and welcome! No one was ever told no, or that they were wrong."

"These seemed to be people who were relatively new to my work, and(...) weren't there for the panic that swept through when Seth appeared and people thought Alphonse was going to break up with (listener), or that the relationship would change in a radical way."

"But damn, there were a few really loud folks during Chapter 3 that stole a lot of the joy from me during that time. Imagine telling a queer creator that they're baiting because they didn't pat your head and tell you you're the one true correct interpretation. Yikes!"

"It got to the point where I was questioning myself, wondering if I had drastically misjudged my audience and understanding of expectations. But...no, I think it was just a few people whose expectations from other creators didn't translate to how I do things."

"Which is fine, I don't want to appeal to everyone, and I create for me first and foremost. My art is for my joy, my story, my heart. But if you want to be a jerk about it, I will probably tell you to go fuck yourself moving forward."

"For those of you who have been supportive, voiced additional support in the face of the most bad faith shitty takes the fandom has ever seen, or just vibed in your own lane and enjoy my boys in peace...bless you. You keep me going. <3"

"It means a lot to me that interpretations like this exist and are valid. There's so many stories about jealousy and bitterness and miscommunication that would blow up a relationship like that. Sometimes it's nice that people can grow together and just be family!"

"I cross posted this on YouTube and got such a lovely response from the community there as well. Thank you all for the validation, I was really miserable after Chapter 3 wrapped but this comforts the hell outta me."

it doesnt annoy me at all!! to tell the truth i was worried about the author when you told me about the hate they got for choosing to keep it open. it's extremely frustrating to me that soany people target queer creators or queer media in general for not being what they personally consider Perfect, as if not fitting one specific mold makes it irredeemable fsr??

like ive seen ppl accuse media with a roch cast of queer characters where a few happened to die as "bury your gays trope" like no!! thats not how it works!! gay characters can die the problem is when you kill off your only rep!!

an auhor can leave something open to interpretation, especially smth like this where like the listener is a character and you're trying to make a large group comfortable, that's not baiting. the characters are even canonically gay and open to polyamory, like, someone's personal interpretation of the relationship status doesnt change that??

im happy to hear the author is feeling better now nd that they got support too! thanks for sharing these w me since i couldnt look at the thread on my phone, i appreciate it!! i might not be in the fandom but i do like when people tell me aboit the stuff they like so im always happy to listen when you send messages about bittersweet! (same goes for any other ask ive gotten that just wanted to talk about their beloveds!!)

[anikasheep]

Just saying...

When I heard about the opening of the Nightbringer

I actually love them lol 🥰🥰🥰

And I can't stop thinking about the difference between Devil's day and It's my party 🤔🤔

So let's talk about this for awhile.

First thing first

I mean the Devil's day is more... demonic than It's my party (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠！

It's kind of funny that if you just think about the story and the timeline 🤔🤔

How does the Devil's day could darker than It's my party

It's just sounds like the 7 brothers who just land in Devildom are demonic than thousand years.

And yet, I feel like the feeling of what I received tell me that 🥹🥹

In It's my party, there's are like 7 brothers are fighting for MC's attention, love, touch or everything.

The lyrics they own are like a introduction just like "Hey I don't know who you are, and I know you know nothing about me, so let's be your devil and have you."

But in the Devil's day, it's more complicated.

Their own lyrics expressed how they feel when they just in the Devildom.

But the sync lyrics just got me a feeling that they're uni again bc they want to lure and convince MC to stay in their timeline🤔🤔

And the bgm...I think it just reflects the deepest desire they have to MC? So it's sounds like they're playing a doll pr a puppet

Don't get me wrong, they're respect MC's wish, but their demon instincts tells them to manipulate thos human they've craving for so long in my opinion.

BTW, Solomon is the most suprise me in Nightbringer, he's the best teacher omg 🥹🥹

I am crying when I saw he show up and protect MC again and again.😭😭😭

Though... it's may not be real so it's just my idea.

But I am kind of looking forward that the brothers from present timeline came to the Nightbringer timeline and maybe just save MC?

It's would be funny to see Mammon jealous of himself lmao.

Anyway!!

The story of Nightbringer is as important as the exchange student timeline I think.

They are serious about this game and the series.

I love the way they portrait them and show the more side I don't know!!

Still, I have soany questions about the past timeline and I can't wait to see more story😭😭

[elysian-art-and-life]

I used to have soany friends here but now I have none or barely talk to them

[putkbum]

so many years of slow burn just for this moment

[oakskull]

You ever see a reply to your reblog but never get the note for it? Yeah me too now I'm anxious that I've missed more people talk to me if you think I didn't see something please tag me hearing people reply to me and having conversations with people who say nice things is my favorite pastime.

[mrs-mikko-rantanen]

Ya know those days where youre just like whatever? This might as well happen. Adult life is already so goddam weird.

[landorange]

Me wanting to deck my cousin's boyfriend during my aunt's cramped birthday party in front of all the guests? It's more likely than you think :))

[honeybee-deepsea-kitty]

Black lightsaber eh? Certainly keeping up the goth vibes. Also you’re very sweet and understanding, I appreciate the lack of pressure.

Do you have a favourite board game? Ever broken any bones? Are you more of a summer or winter person? Ever flashed someone? Can you curl your tongue? What’s the best ice cream flavour? Boobs or butts?

- 🤓 anon

Yes, keeping goth vibes. But also to my understanding black lightsabers come about for certain reasons. Ones I can't remember right now I don't have alot of star wars knowledge but if I asked Wolf they could probably explain it to me again... And I still couldn't really tell you. But it's clever I think.

Of course friend, in person I can be a fairly shy. There are very few people I'm completely outgoing around. So I under no reason want anyone to feel pressured to speak or anything ya know.

Sorry and trouble are both very good games. Scrabble is also pretty fun too. It's always a holiday family type of game full of laughs and such. None board game fav is dominos. Played alot as a kid.

I have broken many bones and even cracked my skull. But it's kinda traumatic.

Winter always always winter over summer. Summer I get sick alot. Heat makes me sick and I am kind of allergic to the sun. Ideally autumn is my favorite.

Yes I have a few times.

I can not curly my tongue but I can touch the bottom of my chin.

Best ice cream is tricky, I love mint chip, any ice cream with cheese cake chunks in it. And if I'm buying from places like cold stone I get the founders favorite, which is cheesecake flavored ice cream with pecans, brownie chunks, strawberries, and Carmel.

I love boobs and butts. A woman's figure is such a beautiful thing.

The Winner Takes It All

(C.L.)

She was feeling bad. Not bad because she was sick or because she did something wrong. She felt empty.

Nicole Gasly, little sister of the Alpha Tauri diver Pierre Gasly and his manager, feels like if her days are grey. It has been a month feeling that way, maybe it is because she started receiving invitations for the weddings of her friends. Maybe it is because she walks around the paddock and recognizes all the girlfriends of the drivers. Maybe it's the constant anxiety she feels when she has to get out of her apartment, of her comfort zone, and walk on the street feeling the gazes of everyone on her, scared of catching someone laughing at how stupid she was.

She feels like if she's being a spectator of her own life, being something like a ghost out of her body that looks how she makes mistakes every minute of every hour of her life.

Nicole used to smile all the time, everyone loved that smile, saying that hswhen she liked her lips looked like if she was a cat. That's why her nickname around the paddock was 'kitty', but the last time someone called her like that the last day of the season.

The only one that knew was him, Charles Leclerc. Not even her brother Pierre.

He knows everything about her. Knowing her since she was a little girl that played with her Barbies while him and her brother had kart races, he can tell that he knows Nicola like the back of his hand, better than Pierre. He was her person, the one she can call when she needs someone to talk with, or to spend their sick days together. He was the one she walked to when something bad happened to her. He knew how many break ups she had because his shoulder was there for her.

The worst thing is that he was in love with her since her first break up, back in 2013. He realized that when he saw her crying because a stupid guy broke her heart, and promised to himself that if he had the chance he would never ever do something like that to her.

"Okay, tell me what's wrong with you" Pierre asked her, tired of seeing his little sister emotionless and working like if she was a robot, not smiling and doing what everyone asked her to do without giving her opinion about it.

"Nothing is wrong with me" she said frowning, knowing she's lying. "I'm tired, that's it. I want the day to finish because here is kinda hot and I really want to go back to my hotel room so I can take off my bra and lay on the bed with only a shirt, okay?"

Her answer surprised him, not what she said but more how she said it. The Nicole of months ago would say the exact same thing with a little or irony and a smirk on her lips. But the Nicola he has in front of him right now said it mad, annoyed, upset.

"Okay, okay" be sighed. "You can go to the hotel, I can do what's left by my own".

He sighed and looked how she walked away, putting her backpack on both of her shoulders. Once she was away enough he went to the Ferrari motorhome, knocking on the door and opening it hoping Charles was inside.

"Dude" he sighed looking at his best friend. "Do you have any idea what's wrong with Nicola? She's acting weird and I'm a little tired of her attitude".

Oh, he knows. He knows about her last break up. About how she found out that her "boyfriend" was at the same time dating another woman for soany years.

It was the middle of January. She was making lunch, knowing that Theo would be arriving soon from his work trip. He went away for a week, saying something that the company wanted him to go to another country to make a deal with a sponsor. And because it wasn't the first time something like that happened, she never suspected anything.

Her favourite song was playing on the back when she heard the doorbell, making her jump a little and frown, walking towards the main door. Theo grabbed his keys and he didn't went with a big luggage that couldn't let him open the door with his our keys.

But when she saw the mailman in front of the door with a letter for her she just sighed, looking at the clock of her left wrist and closed the door while she opened the envelope.

A wedding invitation.

Opening the card she smiled softly when her eyes scanned the golden details on the card, util her eyes fell on the names of the couple.

'Theo Murphy & Marina Connirs'

"No" she gasped. Theo. Theo Murphy. Her boyfriend.

"No" he lied. "Maybe you should talk with her"

Pierre doesn't know about what happened with Theo. He didn't like a lot that guy, and when he discovered that he disappered from her life, he was happy. But he couldn't see how that affected her, why they broke up, why she threw to the trash all his things.

But Charles was with her all the time. After she received that letter he was by her side, holding her close and rubbing her back while she cried her lungs out, opening the bags while she grabbed all his clothes out of the wardrobe, breaking his things. The next she refused leaving her bed, and he was on her house helping her on everything. He saw how her eyes recovered her light slowly, but the smile never came back. Instead of that, she changed completely, being someone he couldn't recognize.

Weeks turned on months. That January day was the past, and even if the date of that wedding of her now ex boyfriend was getting closer, she was getting worse. Her routine was always the same: waking up and cry, eat, get a shower and cry, go to work and fight the need of cry and then going back to her bed to breakdown. Until Charles got tired of that. After hearing Pierre complaining because his sister was unrecognizable he went to her house and stood in the middle of her bedroom looking at her.

"Get ready, we're going shopping" he said looking at her frowning, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I don't want to" she groaned ignoring him. "And why the hell are you here?"

"I'm going to take you shopping" he said like if the question she made was stupid. "So change your clothes, we're going to a fancy place".

"What? No!" she exclaimed making him roll his eyes and walk to the wardrobe, grabbing something elegant he knew she has and threw it to her. "Why the hell are you making me dress this fancy? Where are we going? Charles!"

He ignored her and grabbed the blankets our of her body, not minding at all if she was naked or not.

"We're going to buy you a dress" he simply said. "You are going to the wedding of that idiot with me. I already sent the invitation back to that asshole and saved the address on my phone. It will be next week, once the summer break started".

That made her speechless. What? Was she dreaming? Her best friend saying he will be her plus one to the wedding of her ex boyfriend?

"I won't go to that stupid wedding" she said groaning. "People will laugh at me. His family, his friends. Even that Marina. He played with me and I let him play".

"No one will laugh at you because you are going to be the most wonderful woman on that wedding" he said holiday her hand, sitting on her bed in front of her and then smirked "And your plus one is Charles Leclerc. Who is that dude next to me? No one!"

That made her heart stop, making her nod slowly. Maybe he's right, maybe showing up on that wedding with someone else will make drama. But she doesn't have enough confidence to look like if she already forgot Theo.

"Then, come on, I know a boutique that has amazing dresses" he smirked, holding her hand and pulling her out of the bed, giving her privacy on her bathroom so she can change the clothes.

She never expected to be wearing that dress a few hours later, a baby blue Versace Atelier dress that hugged her body perfectly. A little confidence booster, not much, but the fact that he was standing next to her looking at her reflection with his cheeks burning, made something change inside of her.

"You look so beautiful, Nicole" he smiled looking at her.

She didn't say anything, just stared at him and after sighing and touching the material of the expensive dress, she walked to the changing room, taking off that dress and putting her clothes again.

Charles was waiting for her, his heart beating so fast that he thought she could hear it. It was so obvious his feelings towards her, everyone knows, of course except Pierre. But deeply inside of him he knows that her brother wants him to be with her, make her happy. He's not blind, he can see the way she's with him, the way she smiles and how she closes her eyes everytime he hugs her.

"Alright, now let's buy you shoes"

Some days after, and already waiting on the door only her house with his Ferrari,the wedding day came. It wasn't easy for her to get out of the bed, but the dress that was hanging on the door of her bedroom made her stand up, get a shower and get herself ready for the day.

"Oh, wow" he gasped when he saw her walking out of the door, turning around quickly to lock the door.

"Hi" she smiled weakly, her red lips turning slowly on that smile everyone missed.

"You look absolutely beautiful, Nic" he said hypnotized by her beauty.

"Thank you" she whispered blushing, clearing her throat and looking at the front after he started to drive to the place of the wedding.

She saw all the people there, and when she recognized a few of them, she panicked and wanted to walk back to the car. But he held her close to him, wrapping his arm around her waist and went with her inside the church. They sat at the end of it, his hand on her thigh squeezing it softly to calm her.

"Look, we're going to do this" he whispered rubbing his thumb on the material of the dress, leaning close to her ear. "We'll be just the two of us, forget about that dude. It's just you and me. And if someone recognizes you just act like if he doesn't exist, yeah? You came here to show him you are better without him".

"But I'm not" she whispered looking down at her thigh. "Look what he did to me. Look how I was the last few months. I barely recognize myself".

"I know, love" he sighed, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her close to him, kissing her temple. "But now I'm here".

He saw Theo. And saw the way his face went pale when they crossed their gazes.

"You are here" she whispered making him look down at her and smile, kissing her temple again.

She was strong during all the ceremony, while the bride that she never knew walked inside the church with that white dress, while they said the "I do", while they exchanged the rings and when the groom kissed the bride. She was so strong and started to realize that it was because of the man that was holding her.

Out of the church she saw his parents and friends, and how their eyes opened wide when they saw her with Charles. Somehow she enjoyed that feeling. She left everyone speechless while walking past them, like if she was something threatening.

Her confidence started to come back to her when she heard them whispering her name. How she was in mouth of everyone.

"Isn't that Nicole?"

"Oh god, Nicole is here!"

"Have you seen Nicole? My God, she looks so beautiful, better than the wife. She did it on purpose"

"Who invited Nicole?"

It made her smile. Even smirk. And Charles just melted with every thing she made, how her essence started to came back with every step she made inside the hotel where the lunch was taking place, how her eyes scanned every person, how she said "I'm here" with her body language.

They sat on a table with people they didn't know, apparently friends of the bride. After all, she was the one that invited her thinking that she was just a friend of Theo. His wrong was she.

"Well, congratulations to the married couple" she smiled fakely, not letting go Charles' hand when they walked to the table.

"Oh, thanks" she smiled happy, looking at her now husband. "And thank you for coming, I didn't know if you were going to come, Theo told me you were busy working. Now it's amazing that he's friends with someone that works on Formula 1 and that dares one of the drivers"

"Yeah" she said looking at Theo, smiling when she saw how he chocked with the wine he was drinking. "Yeah, I was really busy that it was a surprise receiving the invitation. But thank you for sending it, Marina. I couldn't miss the wedding of a friend, right Theo?"

Charles was simply speechless, hearing how she talked to them. Is this the same Nicole that just nodded and looked down while working? No. And she didn't even corrected the bride when she saw she was dating him.

"Anyway, have fun" she said squeezing his hand softly and wrapping her hand on his arm. "I hope he makes you happy. After all, he was a truly asshole with his ex".

Charles chocked a laugh and wrapped his arm on her shoulders, walking away to the balcony.

"What was that?" he laughed.

"I don't really know, but I'm shaking" she laughed too, making him smile warmly and look at her.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him until their bodies were presses against each other. Nicole smiles looking up at him, her arms resting on his shoulders while she looked into his eyes, smiling.

"Thank you" she whispered, feeling how she got lost in his eyes. "For being here with me"

"You don't need to thank me, Nic" he whispered smiling, kissing her forehead. "I will always be there for you".

"I know" she smiled, leaning dangerously closer. "I realized a few hours ago. When you pushed me to the church and placed your hand on my thigh. When you kissed my temple and hugged my shoulders. When you held my hand all this time. I realized you were always there".

He smiled, feeling his heart exploding on his heart. That's what he wanted to hear for all this years. He knows she knows, but the thought of her confessing it, makes him want more.

"And I'm so sorry I never saw it" she said with a sad smile, rubbing the tip of her nose with his. "I'm sorry I always cried on your shoulder and never saw that you were the one that was holding my broken pieces together".

"It's okay" he whispered smiling, his breath hitting softly her lips making her have shivers running up her spine. "It's okay, because I never complained. I wanted to be that person that held you while you were sad, the one you cried with. I did that and would do that over and over again".

"You won't need to" she whisper, brushing her lips on his. "Because you won't make me cry".

He closed his eyes when she pressed her lips on his, making him smile and sigh. This is all he wanted, her lips, her hugs, her heart. Her. Nicole. His Nicole.

"I love you" she whispered. "And I'm sorry I realized it late".

"It's never too late, love" he said smiling, pulling away slowly and looking at her. "Because I always have love you and always will".
