Oh. You want to know how I would do it? Well, hang on there because this is going to be a long one.
I've thought about slicing your throat but that's just plain and fucking boring. Also, you have a really pretty face, so wasting it just doesn't seem proper. Cutting through the pretty pale skin on your thighs sounds way better, though. Hearing your happy whimpers when I cut deep enough to make an opening gap, pouring the thick and dark blood all over your fair epidermis. I'll probably be hard already, since I don't think I have that much self control when it comes to your pretty crying face. I like to make you believe that I'm just playing, you know, that this is only one of our many twisted games. That I'm not going to hurt you any further.
But of course, I lied.
Seeing your eyes filled with desperation when I plunge the blade too deep into your flesh, dragging it down your virgin muscles as you squeal in pain and uselessly try to move your leg away from my grasp. But, since it's not your lucky day, you'll just annoy me enough to bash your head against the floor with one of my big hands, covering all over your cute face and muffling your terrified screams. You'll probably try to kick me so I can let you go or even scratch my arms too, but that's okay; I like when my prey fights.
Once you notice that I am, in fact, not playing, you'll surely drop the though guy act and start begging. Sobbing and crying, asking me to let you go. Promising me that you won't tell a single soul about what happened.
But we can't let you go just like that, can we? There's a lot of worse things that are awaiting for you, pet.
–🦴
first thing i read waking up and uh. and. the. um. so. WHY DO I FIND THIS HOT WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME this scenario alone is better than sex! holy shit!!! what could possibly be "worse" ? 😵💫

like i’ve said time and time again, i haven’t watched bbc merlin in years but i was just wondering when the first time merlin called arthur by his name to his face and im scrolling thru the transcripts on the fandom wiki (supposedly it was s1ep4 btw) and im skimming the script for all these episodes and getting angrier and angrier. gaius was wrong for all that. morgana deserved so much better. edwin muirden was valid as hell (for targeting uther AND gaius. yeah. i said it.). also kilgharrah ate with that one lil line “then turn a blind eye. that is, after all, your talent” okay lizard brain pop offff.
#gaius telling merlin to stop using magic so casually in the privacy and security of their quarters?????#wtf is wrong with that???? ur only instilling unnecessary fear and shame into him#gaius KNOWING morgana is a seer but gaslighting her into believing its nothing more than dreams#same shit#making her feel crazy for something shes going thru#OOOOO GAIUS GOT ME PISSED OFF#SORRY#IM NOT NORMALLY ANTI GAIUS BUT WHEW#reading back thru these transcripts got me heated#gaius and uther and kilgharrah were all wrong#there were hints of arthur being accepting of magic in s1#when gwen was accused of healing her father arthur literally stood up to his father about it#ABOUT MAGIC!!!!!#and told him that even if gwen had used magic she used it to cure her father#he described it as an act of love and kindness#FUCKKK#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#morgana le fay#morgana pendragon#anti gaius#sorryyy#but im actually not#like uther committed a genocide and we hate him yeah but gaius stood by and did NOTHING and even built off of uthers actions#yeah sure he didnt kill anyone or turn anyone in to uther but he used uthers actions as a way to instill fear and shame into magic users#who came to him for HELP#merlin repeatedly about other magic users circa s1: but theyre like me!!#gaius and kilgharrah: no they are bad and evil and need to die!!!#everything wouldve been so much better had merlin just followed his heart and made his own choices

Have you ever wondered when you are drawing transformers or the artists drawing transformers do you have to draw the inside of a transformer's body?
This's such a stupid question I'm so sorry- 🤧🤧⁉️⁉️
This is one I had to think about for a moment lol but if I’m understanding right you are wondering if I ever thought about how the transformers are internally built?
If so, yes absolutely I have, I frequently think about it actually, trying to figure out how they transform, how their body structure can change so drastically (more specifically talking about the live action movies tbh, like Kightverse) it has always fascinated me
To put it simply, I imagine they are built very similar to that of animatronics, if you want to get a visual. The frame/skeleton, the wire’s surrounding it, the plating put above that to act as a base for the shell or muscles of sorts.
More explanation, specifically for my personal au, under the cut. Warning there will be images of animatronics without their..skin? Ig? It can be freaky looking
So, for Cybertronians I imagine that their internal structure is incredibly complex, with their ability to transform an all, but in my au Cyebrtronians have the most complex transformation out of any of the other colonies in turn giving them the most complex internal structure. This isn’t even talking about if a bot has an experimental T-cog lol
While yes the general structure would be the same as I explained before, similar to this, the wires, the plastic plating acting as muscles or as an extra skeleton of sorts
I also imagine that the skeletal structure looks as if it can just be taken apart with ease, because it can.
A Cybertronians skeleton in their transformation will end up forming the skeleton of the vehicle they turn into.
To try giving a visual, ROTB Jackie turns into a VW Van with the back seats taken out, or in other words, hollow inside. Now all that robot jazz gotta go somewhere right? So his skeleton would transform out, pushing the armor out at well to make the shape of the van
to get a good idea of what pose he would be doing for this transformation, look at the ss and mainline figurine, kinda a mix between those. Transformation can be changed with Cybertronains though.
Now, all of this compared to say, Eukarians in my au is very complex. With Eukarians being half organic an all, they have the simplest transformation out of any colony. If they tried transforming like a Cybertronian does, their bones would shatter and they would most definitely die, it’d be like you getting folded and squished into a ball shape, very bad.
While Cybertronians are close to animatronics, I’d say that Eukarians would be more like crustaceans, or actually..maybe like a Pangolin, hard shell outside, organs an all that soft stuff inside (including the half metal half bone skeleton in their case). While a Cybertronians skeleton can come apart, a Eukarians cannot..
Picture of Pangolin to show what it is, show it has armor, this is like a Eukarian, and just look at them I love them
Other colonies tend to be more similar to Cybertron, like Velocitron and Gigantion. Generally speaking these two can transform in the same way that Cyebrtronians can, the only difference is their sizes, Velocitronians are fairly small, not tiny but…lets say (these are not the real heights) that Cybertronains are 20-50ft tall, Velocitronians would be 20-30ft tall, then you got the Titans, they can turn into cities 👍
Ofc this height difference and what they do in day to day life will change their internal and external body structure, Velocitronians are built for speed, their cooling system, sharp points and light frames are meant to make them easily fly and cut through the air while they drive like its nothing. Hell even their transformation is quicker than usual. They’re like land jets
Then theres Caminus and Junkion, these two don’t transform, they have T-cogs but they rarely ever use them to do big transformations, for Camians it was to reserve energy (they are also the smallest colony in size) and Junkonians found no use for it. So yes over the centuries these colonies have lost their ability to do complex transformations, meaning their skeleton is similar to Eukarians, can’t come apart, but it’s very flexible.
I imagine they’re more similar to this underneath all that armor. At least Camian’s..Junkonians are very messy tbh
Anywho, man I rambled…a lot..yeesh..my bad lol, I don’t get to talk about this stuff a lot
#ask#whew that was a lot#didnt even scratch the surface tbh#sorry if it makes like..little to no sense#i got no experience with explaining this stuff lol#transformers#this is really for complex designs#not like galaxy force an what not#i have figured so much out about eukaris its not even funnt#beast wars plagues my mind what do you expect#ig i got cz and ransack to now make me focus on velocitron#maccadam#???? ig?

scrambled thoughts about s4 bc I'm losing my goddamned MIND
just finished s4 of Doctor Who. quick question: how the hell do you go on without Rose Tyler? I can't even imagine I literally. what.
like once s3 rolled around I really fuckin realized I was apparently very much watching this show for ROSE and her dynamic with the Doctor, not the Doctor himself or whatever else lmaoo
ONLY Rose has made me bawl my eyes out, let alone even tear up at all. I just can't even fathom being able to connect with any other plot or character like I did with her and her love for the Doctor.
I just ohh for all of s3 most of s4 I just missed her so much??? like Martha and Donna are great (well, I didn't like Martha at first and you can definitely guess why based on all of this but once s4 rolled around she was great!! loved her) but oh my god they were just no Rose Tyler.
plus WOW I really got so attached to her relationships with other people?? like Donna and Martha's families n whatnot made me feel NOTHING whereas I could not get enough of Jackie and adored Mickey (Mickey is family. he is. I don't care if he's her ex or whatever. he's part of the family). Captain Jack Harkness my one true love (btw just sayin I really think Rose and the Doctor should've gotten a hello kiss. maybe not the Doctor he did not deserve one for leaving Jack but Rose did!! hello!!! you gave them "I'm going to go die" kisses give them "hello we're all still alive missed you" kisses!!!). idk if maybe I was just so clocked out of s3-4 that I missed something but I swear those two just had like no really compelling personal relationships outside of the Doctor, and maybe like one specific family member (lookin at you, gramps).
the fact that Rose ended up liking Martha and Donna though??? dfindsnjdj dying dying DYING I love that she would've been friends with them both. they deserved to all sit and gossip about the Doctor like she did with Sarah Jane right in front of his face.
also oh my god no one why why why please PLEASE I'm not used to consuming sad media I try and avoid it as much as possible and this show is just. just. oh my god.
Rose is so close to what she truly wanted. she'll have a life with the Doctor, but not her Doctor and not the life she fought so hard to get back. instead she's still still still stuck in Pete's World, unable to travel across time and space and save the universe with her Doctor (and don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Tentoo, but it just rubs me the wrong way no matter how I try and look at it. it feels like when a character's memories are erased. they're still technically themselves, but something important is missing all the same. and that thing missing is the TARDIS in this case Tentoo is the best thing she could've gotten lol). I feel like I can't even adequately put it into words why her ending makes me as upset as it does I just hope you Get It. I don't think it would've been good for her to not have ANY other solid relationships like she would've had if she'd gone with the Doctor but also oh my god. oh my god.
and the Doctor is once again without his brilliant, fantastic Rose.
I really hope she doesn't come back though unless it's on her own terms, because she missed her friends or smth. I really hope she's able to travel the world and it be enough for her as long as she's got Tentoo by her side. I really, really hope she's happy and fully in love with Tentoo and they are living the BEST life they can.
Fuck. this SHOW.
#if this is incomprehensible well. ngk. that's how my brain feels rn#came for David Tenntant but stayed solely for Rose Tyler <3#I'm still gonna try and watch on but I won't be too surprised if I end up dropping it#I need it to be known my reaction to JE was so violent and loud I thought for a second cops were going to be called on me#I didn't just shout or cry or anything I SCREAMED ahahaha it sounded like someone was being MURDERED#the only reason Doomsday didn't have me toppling over putting holes in my walls was because I wasn't alone I stg#do you know how hard it is to silently sob?? I am not good at it. in fact I am so bad I couldn't I wailed I wailed#I did not cover everything here but I got the gist of most of it#so sorry martha and donna but I just. whew. I just did not care at all#timepetals#tenrose#tentoorose#tenth doctor#rose tyler#tentoo#doctor who

Day 20
Madara pulled the yarn through the final stitch and looked at his… scarf. It was an attempt and while it didn’t look awful, he could tell that his tension had been maybe too tight and there was a weird dip a few rows in, but at least it was finished. He grabbed a yarn needle and tried to weave in the tails so he could properly call it finished.
Leo had been complaining about losing his scarf the week before and Madara had the genius idea to try and make one himself. He had tried knitting but three dropped stitches later he decided to try something else. Kuro had suggested crochet since it was much more beginner friendly, and Madara had to agree. Despite everything, at least the scarf in his hands wouldn’t fall apart if he forgot a stitch somewhere.
It still looked like a pretty messed up rectangle though. He debated just making a second one when the door opened to the craft room and he felt someone drape themself over his shoulders.
“Mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,” Leo whined. “Why are you ignoring me?”
Madara turned his phone on and noticed a dozen missed calls and several unanswered texts from Leo. Oops.
“Sorry Leo-san, I got distracted.” He turned to press a chaste kiss to Leo’s lips. “I tried to make you something but--” Leo’s eyes lit up and he reached for the garment in Madara’s hands.
“Wahaha! You’re the best Mama! I love it!” Leo had already wrapped the scarf around his neck despite being indoors. “Oh I’m filled with inspiration! Do you have any paper? I need to write an Ode to Mama’s Scarf immediately!”
Madara laughed and pulled out the notepad he had started carrying with him from his bag. Leo grabbed it and began scribbling, singing the melody as it came to him. When he was finished he tore out the page and folded it into his pocket for later.
“Thank you, Mama. I mean it.” Madara felt a light blush on his face, a rare occurrence in their relationship.
“Anything for you, Leo-san.”
#shay writes#madaleo#january writing challenge#yay yippie sorry this one is late i'm so tired#though my shift actually didnt feel as long as it was... which was nice#my coworker got me the yarn for the plushie she's commissioning from me too#i need to figure out how i'm gonna do that... she wants like a pillow sized cow plush#made out of this juicy couture yarn we have at joanns rn and i completely didnt realize a ball of that#is less than 50 yards so we'll see how much i can get from that#she'll buy more if i need it this is just to get started but damn.#so yeah i'm gonna be starting that soon and whew#yeah. ig if you want to see my crochet stuff my craft blog is @crochetpiece i post enstars amigurumis sometimes#i'll get back to my bee amigurumis eventually i just ended up with two other projects that are time sensitive#to finish up. the cow plush and a wedding afghan i'm working on that's for june#weh :(

Destiny skybox team I love you so much and I am on my knees begging you to stop making every outer planet a recolored photo of Jupiter.
Yes, we don't have much in the photo department for Uranus and Neptune. Yes, their atmospheres are less spectacular because their colder temperatures mean most of the dramatic swirly storms are lower in the atmosphere and hidden by ice hazes. But that doesn't mean they're any less spectacular! Neptune has beautiful dark blue storms and white clouds! And Saturn! Saturn, with the vast and free Cassini image archives!
THIS IS NOT SATURN:
THIS IS SATURN:
That's a natural-color image, by the way. Unretouched, unfiltered, straight-up that is what Saturn looks like. I love your work. I do! I really, really do. Please. I'm begging you. I can't take another Jupiter dyed kool-aid blue.
#Destiny 2#sorry it drives me INSANE when scifi media does this#and there is NO EXCUSE when it comes to Saturn#whew okay I've got that off my chest#now I can enjoy Lightfall#this is the wager of existence

i have always felt that kendis would make an excellent parent and i love writing kendis with kids [and twice have played around in rp with them being a parent: 1. was a timey-wimey situation where kids from a possible future [and a grandchild!] showed up. 2. they became guardian of a missing friend's kids aka the only parent they remember. it isn't enough though. one day i really wanna write something with them and children, like the day to day fluffy stuff. the trouble. the woes. i had THOUGHTS but i havent had the energy for execution. ONE DAY.]
#also love the idea of kendis with kids - especially if it's twc kendis or exile kendis [tho THAT would take so many more years before thats#viable2 sweew] or even kotsam kendis - bc i feel it'd be a fun way to explore their issues with their parents/how they were raised#og kendis already would have issues with Would I Be A Good Parent bc of reasons and their parents they adored#but exploring the worries re: the cycles of neglect and abandonment and etc#ouch#anyway#grapecase answers#plasticdodecagon#it is just hitting me i havent really written a lot re: kendis WITH the kids. just written the kids seperate or kendis feelings writ the#kids / their issues#and that is so weird to me#BUT i have written kendis with kids before. baby sitter kendis. it was nice#kendis and their cubs#sorry im just rambling nonsense i just have a Desire#and ty for sharing my vision ededs lmao#also tho now you got me thinking twc kendis with kids. and they're not nates. hahah. like haha. like they separate and ub comes back to#kendis' life#whew#fun times

saw that ETL post about needing to have respect for your enemy to both loathe and love them, and sat there for awhile thinking about it in Eight's terms because when do I not have thoughts about him, lol.
Eight gives as much respect as he can to whoever he kills, but he can never despise them, unless they truly are someone who has fallen into depravity and cowardice (i.e. Valkorion). Even for someone like Arcann who effectively stole 5 years of his life away and hurt countless lives in pursuit of a rather close-minded goal, he could only judge him on what he saw of him on the battlefield in their private duels-- and that was Senya's son who fought every single time to destroy Valkorion. A conviction that he was unafraid to die for. Even "judging" is a loose term when it comes to his enemies because he cannot actually judge based on any morality: he can only see the full extent of their devotion to their own cause no matter how small and their lives in the few minutes before it is cut away.
People tend to show their true selves to him when they know these are their final moments, so he understands the full weight of taking that life. There is nothing glorious nor honorable about it. In fact, it only reaffirms that war is truly hell- where even the most fulfilling of lives can be struck down the same as the most insignificant ones. To that end, he believes true warriors should understand this: taking anything more from your enemy after taking their life is abominable; no killer should find peace or satisfaction from murder. An odd statement from one who does nothing but kill, but he despises the thought that killing is anything other than the act itself no matter how you dress it up. It can be for a worthy cause, but it should be seen for what it truly is at the end of the day.
That's also why he seems to bide his time waiting for the penultimate battle that barely lasts 10 minutes the entirety of a war. Everything else is just steps leading up to that. He conceals and holds back everything until he can meet his enemy face to face, which is why he essentially got...bored waiting to strike at Ardun Kothe, since it took forever to get to him with a bunch of menial tasks. He's a guy who does everything 0 to 100. It was the same with Hunter.
The real tragedy of Hunter was that they both knew they were very nearly the exact same-- only that Hunter could not stand up to him martially and once caught, was as good as dead. Eight just barely came out on top because of his doggedness and the fact that Watcher 2 and Keeper acted as his tactical minds. I think he wished Hunter could've met him on the same level in battle, but the way both of them fought was too different, despite the way they lived being extremely similar.
I guess the end point of this analysis is that Eight devotes his entire being to the fine point of a blade because it carries all the meaning in the world and none at all when it comes to those he meets and inevitably kills. You can attribute it partially to being Echani as yet another culture that thrives off war, but killing itself means nothing. It has no honor. It is yet another duty only he can carry out because of his detachment and dedication to it that surpasses everything. To his dear enemy that he meets for the first time on the battlefield, he'll give them his entire life- a meaningless thing designed to cut theirs.
#swtor#oc: orradiz#whew. this got long#it makes me so invariably sad-#much of this attitude comes from being separated from his culture as well#an Echani is not meant to be alone or fight alone#just like how mandos find kinship in clans but are nothing without them#and I think. this view on killing is rather rare in SW when everything has to be for something#a jedi with their code. a sith with theirs. mandalorians with their greater views on the meaning of their own lives#in another life he could've made a decent bounty hunter#but even bounty hunters decide when where and what they want out of a kill#and he could never do it for coin#but perhaps its crueler to do it for essentially so little#sorry if i clog up your dash idk how show alls work
