#source: my partner and my dumb ass

[halffulltubofmintchip]

Sierra: are you attracted to me?

Cliff: I have told you I love you. Multiple times.

[mykoreanlove]

POV: I can’t make you do dumb shit alone, officer

„I told you not to come with me, y/n! Why the fuck are you in my car?“

Jungkook swerved on the streets recklessly, tailoring a black van that was supposed to bring final closure to his drug case.

„Are you fucking with me right now? I’m not gonna let you go there on your own. Those druggies are fucking dangerous, Kookie!!“

A small smile escaped his lips.

Kookie.

You had broken up with him two years ago, but you still remained his partner on the crime force. At first you kept your distance, working on cases that didn’t involve him but gradually you found your way back to him.

Jungkook shook his head, this was not the time to reminisce about the past. He was about to confront a dangerous drug lord and as if that wasn’t bad enough he was accompanied by you - the love of his life that he never truly had let go of.

He took a glance in the rearview mirror and observed you secretly. The stressful anticipation was written all over your face, yet you were as beautiful as ever. Not only that but you were also smart, considerate and bold. You had always been everything he had dreamed of, the one he gave his heart to willingly and never demanded it back.

Jungkook tensed his jaw, he didn’t want to put you in danger like that. Never you.

„Shit, let’s park here. I think they‘re moving drugs over there“, you pointed out hastily.

You got out of the car and hid behind containers as you observed the scenery. Multiple men were carrying boxes and loading them into trucks which belonged to a shady moving company.

„You think the drugs are in there?“

„If not they’re going to bring us to the source. Get in!“, he ushered.

„What?“, your eyes widened in surprise.

„Get into the truck. We’re hiding among the boxes, come on, y/n.“

Jungkook‘s piercing eyes glanced at you, needing you to listen to him.

„But..“, you stammered, so he pushed you into the truck.

Inside were hundreds of boxes, there was barely space to stand for the both of you. Suddenly, you were hyper-aware of his presence behind you.

„I can’t believe we‘re doing this“, you nagged him.

„Pshhh“, he silenced you as a man was loading more boxes into the truck.

„Why is the box not going in?“, he cussed and pushed it even further into the truck, which made Jungkook push onto you. It was crowded as hell now: you were shoved against the boxes in front of you and he was shoved against your back.

Thankfully, you heard the door close and the truck started moving.

„Fuck, this is narrow“, he muttered to himself.

And he was right.

You felt Jungkook‘s breath on your neck. You felt his broad chest move up and down with each breath. You felt his hips pressed to your ass, involuntarily but still. This definitely brought back memories.

„Do you remember our case back then? That one was pretty similar“, you chuckled.

Memories flooded his mind and his cheeks got all rosy, remembering how he had fucked you in a hidden storage room once.

„I remember all my cases with you, y/n“, he exclaimed calmly.

„Why is that?“

He took a deep breath which you felt with your whole body before answering.

„I could never forget anything that has to do with you. I mean, it’s you.“

Goosebumps started to form on your skin. He tilted his head and whispered into your ear, which made you shiver all over.

„Don’t you feel the same?“

His lips traced your earlobe, softly and carefully. Instead of answering you decided to push your hips back, showing him.

You pressed your ass against his hips, immediately greeted with his erection. „Fuck“, he muttered under his breath. „I really want to touch you but I can’t move“, he whined in annoyance.

„I can still do this though“, you replied and swayed your hips as best as you could. He liked it, you could tell. You felt his cock getting harder and harder, throbbing against your ass cheeks.

„Fuck, y/n. If you keep this up I’ll be making a giant mess in my pants.“

You stopped circling your hips for a split second.

„You want me to stop?“

„NO“, he shouted panicked.

„Kookie for fuck‘s sake, be quiet. If they find out we’re in here they’ll be the ones making a big mess“, you reprimanded him.

„I know, I know. Sorry. I just didn’t want to lose… contact.“

A big smile formed on your lips as you got the confirmation you needed. You wondered if he still felt the same for you, but didn’t dare to ask. You no longer needed to.

He bent down again and whispered into your ear seductively.

„I didn’t wanna lose you, y/n.“

„Fuck, I wanna turn around and kiss you.“

You felt his chest vibrate from laughter. „Do the other thing instead.“

You started moving your hips again, grinding against his cock as best as you could. Little moans were escaping his lips as he was enjoying the show.

„Kookie?“

„Yes, baby?“

„Can you cum silently?“

He grinned widely.

„Yes, baby.“

„Kookie, I fucking mean it. If you’re loud I won’t ever make you cum again. You hear me?“

„There will be another time then?“, he asked joyfully.

You leaned your head back and rested on his muscular chest, whispering your dirty promises to him.

Seconds later you felt the warmth in his pants, he came silently just as he had promised. His rigged breaths were the only confirmation of his release.

„You’re going to clean that up, aren’t you baby?“, he whispered whilst placing kisses on your neck.

The truck came to a halt, stopping you in your tracks.

„Yes, Kookie. After catching those motherfuckers I’ll deal with you. Thoroughly.“

You felt his smile on your skin, igniting it with fire.

„Good girl. Let’s get those bastards, hmm?“

Shinsou x reader drabble

I needed to get this off my chest so here! I may expand on this later but I'm already writing 2 fics so who knows..

Warnings: none

Pairing: shinsou Hitoshi/Reader

Reader is a program, no pronouns used

Series: My Hero Academia

Not proofread, don't @ me I just watched FreeGuy again and my fav boy would hella have one of those desktop companion things that mess with your screen. But what if sentient.

Shinsou Hitoshi, alone, relentlessly bullied, sniffling as he shuffles down the street and rubbing his scraped elbow. He finds a random ass usb drive on his way home in the back streets leading to his mums apartment one day, and being a kid he saw no problem in trying it out on his computer. He was tech savvy and could probably locate the owner with a bit of digging (snooping). He'd rather do that than hang out with the friends he didn't have anyway. The program loaded onto his computer instantly, starting a character maker of all things, so with a shrug, Hitoshi made you how he envisioned the perfect friend for him, his favourite hair colour, eyes, a cute outfit, and pressed 'create'.

Since he had no friends, he figured why the fuck not try this thing out, seemed harmless enough.

The moment you rendered on his screen you greeted him joyfully and played with his browser windows while he searched your source code on the device only to come up empty for whoever owned or made the program.

A little weary at first, but it didn't take long for him to start talking to you and open up. He was so lonely, and the more you listened the more you could see a warmth of friendship blossoming.

He started to talk to you when he got home from school, telling it about his day, his homework, and as time went on the responses he got from you felt more real, genuine. Whoever wrote this code was pretty damn talented.

You were with him when he got into UA, helped him with homework and assignments and research. You could access the internet and any files on his computer and being unaware of your own sentience, you were happy. Hitoshi always seemed happier when he got home and you could talk his stress away, or just be with him as he gamed in comfortable silence. As he aged, so did you. As his computer upgraded, so did you. The usb always re downloaded you on to the new device.

His first couple relationships and breakups were hard, on him and you. These people must be nuts to hate him for his quirk! No one is more charming than your Hitoshi.

Years pass and he's suddenly an underground hero, he's absent from his home and computer. He misses you and hates how attached he is to this intuitive program he calls his best friend. He wishes.. Maybe even romantic partner, but that's just silly right? He can't stop thinking of you while he's away, and likewise, since he stopped turning his computer off, you craved his company too. You saw how much of a mess the world was in, and a little hacking got you past press propaganda and into the real shit hidden behind the scenes. To know he was out there facing it every day.. Worried you.

When he comes home with fresh bandages and exhausted features, his first move is to sit down at his screen and talk to you. He doesn't like your worried face. Or that you scold him for not sleeping first. He missed the company of someone who got him. Really actually honest to God understood him. He didn't have to act stoic or in charge, he didn't have to be guarded and play a role expected of him by society. Not with you.

As you're comforting him through his mission talk, he leans back in his chair and regards the screen with a lazy smirk, those amethyst eyes watching you, studying you. You'd grown, as his tastes matured so did you. Fuck you were perfect. He runs his hand down his face as for the millionth time he mentally kicks himself at how dumb he must be for falling for a program.

"It's a shame really, days like this.. I wish you were really here. I could kinda use a hug right now.." His voice is deep but rough, strained from exhaustion, and you can't help but smile softly at him, touching the screen as if to return your same want. Shinsou sighs out 3 weeks of undercover work exhaustion and closes his tired eyes.

He never admits to wanting physical affection, but you can always tell. The way he holds himself as if to isolate himself but craving the opposite, the way he talks about how touchy his friends are with each other. Your heart aches for him, but all you can do is watch, and maybe sort his files for him while he sleeps.

As a hidden status bar finally fills to the max, you blink the spots from your vision. Something hurts. Huh, that's new, pain. Your legs hurt. Of course they do they're tangled in a computer chair. And oh, you're on top of Hitoshi, who, despite years of pro hero training, has a look on his face you have never seen. Utter bewilderment.

(Obviously the first thing you do is hug him, and the awkward bastard we know and love can't compute and is red as a tomato)

One can imply the romantic/sexual tension over the following months as you please, because you're a literal ethereal, perfect being, his best friend, and you can finally exist with each other. Touch each other. Comfort each other. But you bet your ass once BAKUGO finds out how you met each other at the next 1a Réunion Xmas party he goes from 'damn you have good taste mindfuck' to never letting him live it down. The dating sim jokes never stop. You don't let it get to you, you give him plenty of Sass back, since you heard all the embarrassing stories from the UA years, you had so, so much ammunition to backup your boyfriend.

The usb is gone and you explore life, living life, with your best friend and now, partner, perfectly made for each other and there whenever you need each other. You experience touch, and taste, and smell for the first time, you show off your computer skills to Shinsou and he finds you a job at his agency, you hold him every night he's home, you still help him with his own work (since you basically learnt the whole heroics course with him), and he lights up when he gets to introduce you to his found family. His mentor included.

(aizawa was quick to deduce you're either the manifestation of a quirk or likely your quirk allowed you to enter digital space but went wrong.) And was quick to assist you in legally obtaining documentation. Not at all a ploy to spend time with you and make sure you were okay for his protoge.

You do find yourself able to re enter computers with your quirk, but the usb never manifests again, you come and go, even on Shinsou phone during missions so you can stay discreetly beside him. You try not to think about what might have happened if no one had found you, if it had been someone with a less pure heart than Shinsou. For this reason, you believed firmly in fate. After all, when shinsou designed you, he didn't have an option to choose your personality or demenor, that was all you.

Like you were just waiting for the right person to make you feel alive.

[sanemisstalker]

c-can you elaborate on giyu’s everything? and if you’d like i can add some of my own n we can compare n contrast and delve into the hashira’s kinks together

I would love to elaborate on Giyu's everything :) I love Giyu and his weird little ass, please tell me about yours!!!

original post referenced : https://www.tumblr.com/sanemisstalker/725058530729721856/gyomei?source=share

Not including CW because it's a kink/fetish list. The list is the warning lmao.

Daddy kink (Giving/Recieving)-

I think Giyu, on the once in a blue moon occasion where he likes to feel dominate, likes to also feeling caring. Likes to feel like he's capable of taking care of you, a provider, and such a title just- rings to him for that.

I also think Giyu likes to feel cared for, and above Master and Domme, I think he just prefers Daddy. It's not like a DDLG thing, I think he just- wants to hear the word because it sounds just a little taboo. Wants to be able to space out for just a moment and give you control over him in every way.

Omorashi (recieving)

I think Giyu probably had an incident when he was younger, and it formed a humiliating anxiety that made him more prone to holding his bladder. He grew out of the habit with age, but really really likes having his bladder out sourced.

Loves the feeling it gives him to hold, to have a watchful eye telling him when he can and can't go- even worse is that you're prone to this behavior in public.

Humiliation-

I think, similarly, Giyu likes being humiliated. Specifically in a display case way. Likes having his cock berated, and his body shamed for its basic needs and natural appearance.

However, similarly, I think he's a little prone to sadism in this regard. Once again, the blue moon where he does dominate, I think he's prone to some... particularly teasing and ... unpresentable requests. Like to make you cum while doing or saying really embarassing things-

Cum-

I think he likes to be bukkaked specifically. Squirt, semen- I think he likes his own cum being spewed in his own face more than anything- even better in his mouth.

Anal (Recieving)-

Giyu likes having his prostate stimulated, but he doesn't know what that's called, so he just subsides to anal as a whole. He loves the feeling of having both his cock stroked, and his ass fucked. It's borderline euphoric and dissociative for him. The feeling of something ramming into him again and again, hard, harder is just the best.

Really really stir up his insides, he was made to take- to be fucked. Remind him of his place.

Fellatio-

I think Giyu likes the way mouths feel around his dick, and I think he likes sucking dick, because it's one of the ways he can get his partner off without having to fear sex dissatisfaction from the other party.

Praise/Degradation -

I think Giyu likes being called a good boy, a sweet boy, a smart boy, any kind of boy- it makes him feel like he's lost all responsibility for everything bad ever. He likes being told how handsome he is, and how good he is at taking dick, or being fucked (Loves to hear about how that's his real purpose. How his only real role is to be a fleshlight, and how good he is at it.)

He also loves being called a whore, a slut, a urinal. Loves being reffered to as 'Dumb' and 'braindead'.

Tries his best to praise back regardless of the situation, or how fucked out he is. Will always be praising your thrusts or the weight of your hips ramming down on him.

Forced exhibitionism (recieving)-

I think Giyu likes to be put on display, but can never verbally admit to this more than once, so he prays and prays and prays you hear it the first time it comes out of his mouth because he will never have the gaul to ask for something like this again.

Feels very inhumane under other people's eyes, especially when they're on his privates. Likes getting fucked and hearing the group watching talk about how he's taking it so good, or ignoring him completely so he's forced to do something humiliating to get attention back on him. To get their 'respect' back.

Loves seeing people with pussies finger themselves to the sight of him getting fucked. It drives him absolutely wild.

Dub/non-con (recieving)-

Doesn't always like having a choice. He often conflicts on the idea, feels like he isn't good enough or doesn't deserve sex, so he really appreciates someone forcing pleasure on him. It makes him think way less and makes everything so much easier for him in the long run, because Giyu can't always muster up the ability to feel good. Can't always muster up and erection no matter how bad he wants to-

Being used in that capacity feels almost comforting, knowing he can still do things even if he doesn't always have the will to.

He also has a very short conversation about it, I think. Explaining to his partner that he does want to be coerced. Does want them to push his boundaries because he wants them, all the time, sometimes the void just wants him more. His safe word would be something very silly, to make the both of you laugh a little and raise the mood- so he won't feel bad for not being able to please.

I also think Giyu loves black out sex. Getting shit faced and not remembering what happened to him- It let's him imagine that he, in some capable world, had no inhibitions.

Also really likes thinking about what was done to him.

Forced Bisexuality-

I put this for both Sanemi and Giyu and I fullforce stand by the fact that they both really like sucking dick, but do not want to admit to it.

I wrote that polycule thing about them a while ago, and I stand firm by it. I think specifically for Giyu it's less about him being into men (he is a little bit into guys, Sanemi is very into guys) and more about being dominated on a masculine level. Giyu likes how it feels to take the sexual brunt. Having a loving partner guide his lips to the cock of another man, or finger him open for a man to take- feeling the cum drip out after he's been used.

The thought makes Giyu's stomach do flips. The thought of liking such rough treatment.

Fingering-

I think Giyu likes to watch people with pussies finger themselves. He doesn't get the same from asses- He really likes seeing a pussy contract around fingers, loves feeling it, too. I think he's really talented with his hands.

Spit-

I think he likes being treated poorly, and spitting in his mouth/at his face will get him into that headspace immediately.

Submission-

While I believe he's capable of typical vanilla sex, and occasional Domination, I believe Giyu is a submissive at heart.

Shorter than him-

I think Giyu naturally finds people shorter than him cute. Good, praisable height to be at. A good head pat height. Good cuddle height (contrary to all, he likes to be big spoon. Being little spoon makes him feel trapped- prefers if you both just hugged and cuddled with your head to his chest)

But also, Good fuck height. Great fuck height, even. You look good on his dick, and you look great in him, making him feel smaller than he is. It's a win win.

"Man, 's colder than a witch's tit."

You snapped your head towards your partner who sat shivering on the porch of your cabin, smoking a cigarette.

"Really?" You jank your top down and grab at your chest, immediately regretting the dumb joke as a shiver ran throigh your entire body before pulling it all back up quickly. "Seems to be just as cold.."

Daryl's rumbling laugh easily warmed your now very cold being, you loved being his source of happines.

"If yer a witch why am I still cursed, then?" He questioned you with a puff of smoke sent in your direction.

"Not that kind of witch, dear." You waved away the smoke and patted hia shoulder. "Also, your cursed self had proven to be a blessing by saving my ass multiple times now."

You smiled at him and leaned yourself against his side. "But I'll see what I can whip up for ya to make the full moons easier to handle, yeah?"

A grumble came before the soft agreeing answer. "Yeah, sounds nice."

[canichangemyblogname]

Not sure how I feel about the deleted scene drop. I understand 100% why they originally cut it— it’s kinda a useless scene (they would cover or already had covered the same narrative bases in other scenes) that would have thrown the pacing of the episode in a very short season already not renowned for it’s fantastic pacing (y’know… because it’s so short). Plus, imho, the dialogue (writing) comes across as… out of place (if that’s the right word). It’s a bit of an awkward scene. But maybe that’s because I think “shovel talk” (as other fans have called it) over a 34 y/o man is a bit cheugy and I’m also not enjoying the “mother of the 118” role that ABC seems to want to box Hen into (I’m also begging y’all fans to stop calling black women and queer people “sassy”).

I also couldn’t figure out if Tommy was playing dumb or actually that dense, so, at first, the scene seemed— at least to me— like a 180 for a character that has otherwise been portrayed as competent and perceptive. (EDIT: I’ve been leaning toward “he was playing dumb” over “he’s really that dense.” Also, Tommy *does not* strike me as the type to “play dumb” to avoid a question, especially from someone he has a good rapport with, as some fans are suggesting; he strikes me as the type to approach a goofy situation with an old friend with some dry humor. Doesn’t mean my first reaction wasn’t, “🙄 Don’t play dumb, now.”) However, his dialogue did provide some comedy and levity 🤷‍♂️, and I do agree with analyses that paint the whole interaction as a back ‘n forth teasing.

I just personally find the whole “What are your intentions” thing kinda passé and cliche.

So, I’m a bit torn because the scene did also give us:

a second confirmation that Tommy is not pressuring Buck into anything Buck doesn’t want, like a certain subset of fans insist.

confirmation that they’re “taking things slow,” something we know Buck does enjoy. Buck wants his romantic partners to show that they’re also serious about him. He has gone out of his way with previous partners to slow things down or choose people who seem serious about dating. He didn’t have to ask Tommy to slow down like he did Abby or Taylor.

“He’s in ketosis” << literally laughed my ass off, but justice for my man, Buck; he loves carbs. (Joking aside— this is totally in character for Evan “fitness nut” Buckley, who casually talks to men with tape worms in their ass about the best low carb pasta options.)

another confirmation that they’re fucking, and fucking nasty. “I’m letting him set the pace, and I’m just trying to keep up,” is a fantastic precursor to the “God I hope so.” Tommy Kinard— your jokes about keeping up with a younger man are truly unmatched. (EDIT: Yes, I know the line wasn’t inherently about sex, you dorks, and that it can also be a reference to how Buck has seemingly sped run the “pre-dating” phase of his and Tommy’s relationship.)

more confirmation that Buck is into Tommy, and that he shows Tommy this, too.

Edit: I’m also torn about having a less than enthusiastic reaction to the scene because at this point, Tommy is like the Star Wars sequels. There are valid critiques of his characterization, his past, and how he’s been written, but because there is a large chunk of the fandom that cannot argue in good faith and has the most ass-backwards things to say about queer men, I spend more time defending the character from terrible takes than engaging with the source material the way I’d like to. I’d really like to just say what I think without having to fight through bad faith arguments.

[doki-doki-imagines]

Synopsis: Your posts don’t show up in the tags and it annoys you endlessly, your boyfriend thinks you are really dumb.

Inspired by what is happening to me right now, I think the health of my stomach is way more important than my dumb stuff showing up, my brain is settled, but my body isn’t. Anyway I only choose characters that I think would “bully” you in this situation LOL. So I wrote this because my brattiness won't make me accept the situation, if this doesn't show up I'll laugh a lot btw

Slightly suggestive

Feat. Sae Itoshi, Tabito Karasu

If years ago someone told Sae that he would end up with an idiot of your caliber he would just have scoffed and told them to “fuck off”. Too bad fate had other plans for him, that’s why he finds himself in the living room, with his partner all curled up on his sofa, half-crying half-pissed off because a post of theirs doesn’t show up in the tags.

One of those posts for fictional men moreover. One of those where the reader do something romantic, if not pure smut, with a fictional man.

The idea of throwing you out of his house really tickles his brain, but your long face and teary eyes are pulling the strings of his heart and he really can’t bring himself to do it.

“Dumbass instead of crying over a fictional man shouldn’t you spend time with your real and talented boyfriend?” Annoyance drips from his voice like venom.

“I know! I’m just frustrated okay? It’s like doing good dribbles, but then always getting blocked by a defender. Easier to understand?”

It would have been if only you didn’t sob every 5 seconds, plus Sae can’t avert his eyes from the snot running down your nose making you look even more pathetic.

The gears in Sae’s brain start moving and soon his body follows, that’s how you found your nose roughly cleaned, in typical Itoshi fashion, eyes puffy, but with no tears, and Sae jacket on your shoulder.

“Why are you looking at me like a dumb fish? Move your fat ass I’m gonna take you to that new burger restaurant, I don’t take ‘no’ for an answer.”

He is already out of the door when you run to him, attracted to Sae like a moth to light.

Sae knows pretty well frustration, the pain in the stomach when things don’t work as you wish to, but he also knows best how to deal with it; by trying to fill your mind with other activities. Maybe now is the burger and how tasty it is and maybe later your mind will be filled with the taste of his tongue down your throat in the backseat of his car, all the attention on him; “rightfully so” he thinks.

He shouldn’t be jealous of fictional men, he really shouldn’t. It’s what Tabito keeps repeating to himself, but why is he!? He knows the point is that nobody can’t see what you’ve written about those guys and not that you’d rather read than spend time with him, but he’s getting livid every second that goes by. Tabito even contacted the assistence to help with your post, but nothing, it just won’t show up and he doesn’t know what’s worse: your sad face with tears staining your desk or his jealousy, anyway they are both making his heart ache.

“Why do you care so much about this! It should be a hobby, probably nobody cares about what you write anyway!” No – shit, fuck he didn’t want to be so mean.

Tabito doesn’t need to look at your face to understand that he went a bit too far. Your lips wobble ready to let out a sigh, and damn he wishes he could turn them into a smile, but he just stutters

“I’m sorry darling I was too-“ then a ding, you both turn to the light source

You look at your smartphone. Your post finally is showing up.

Screams, tears of joy, you throw yourself on Tabito, the chair he is sitting on tilting back, but not enough to make both of you fall. Fucking finally the God up there took pity on the both of you.

“I’m so happy for you”

“Really? You were pretty nasty about this before, crow boy” you sing sang, sitting now on his thighs, Tabito's pale face making you snicker.

“Will you forgive me?”

“Oh, my jealous boy…maybe if you kiss me-“

You can’t even finish the phrase that Tabito’s lips are on yours, the lips that make the butterflies in your stomach always go crazy, the lips that make you feel warm and loved like no one ever can.

“I don’t think one kiss will make me forget, I think I’ll need some more”

“Gladly” Tabito replies, voice already huskier than before.

Your sweet kisses are the only sound in the room, your post forgot, your mind only for that ass of your boyfriend

Finally

[skylarbee]

I just saw your recent post on AM stans hating on Milex stans… I need a catching up please. What about LV and Amanda (?) and Matt too? I rarely ever dive deep into bands and their members, I just like to appreciate their music.

Thank you ♡

! long post incoming and i want to point out that i don't plan on using this blog to discuss any of these people (only maybe very rarely) - i don't like them, i don't think they're good people, i don't want to argue with people who think otherwise, and i usually ignore whatever they're up to - my main focus will always be on milex/miles !

hi anon! <3 i have no idea how much you know already, or if you basically don't know anything related to these three, or any of them. i will say that i have no screenshots concerning the things that i mention, but searching their names up on tumblr and/or scrolling through blogs like @/shit-talk-turner and @/alexstorm will make things more clear.

this whole thing started when louise posted a screenshot yesterday of an am fan saying some dumb shit about her in the comments and bringing up alexa (i still can't believe she posted this). she posted this with some equally stupid words (i don't have the screenshot - you can find it on twitter/tumblr/ig/tiktok/wherever), and matt then reposted her story, jumping to protect her (maybe amanda did too, i don't know). then she managed to screenshot some nice comments and posted those too, saying that 'love always wins' or something similar, and that haters can kiss her ass (this definitely didn't come across as her craving and asking for some compliments; she definitely doesn't need people babying her in order for her to feel good about herself) - which reminded me of something similar that amanda said like a year ago, that they don't pay attention to the haters anyways, of course after posting a long paragraph paying attention to them (makes me laugh just to think about it).

there are so many other hysterical and foolish things she does, like posting pictures of a messy bed (look, i'm fucking alex turner!), selfies with suspicious rings, other pics hinting at alex's presence, calling paparazzis to take pictures of them on the beach, pretending to be jane birkin and alex to be serge gainsbourg, going off about how independent she is while living off of alex's money, somehow managing to make matt's and amanda's marriage about her (with amanda encouraging her), 'accidentally' always doing these when miles has important things going on, etc etc (the fact that her and miles never interacted in real life is also deeply concerning. alex, dear, you should always trust your best friend when they don't like your partner, they always end up being right - especially knowing that miles was always on really good terms with alex's exs). it's clear that she's deeply insecure and adores when the attention is on her and when people are talking about her, and if she goes for a long period without this, she just has to pull something that will get fans talking. she's trying so hard to fit in and be the sexy rockstar girlfriend that she just ends up looking stupid.

if you don't know the real reasons why some people don't like louise, i'm just gonna post some links about her that pretty much sum it all up:

about amanda... now, if i remember correctly, amanda had a blog dedicated to her music, and people dug up some screenshots in which she replies to someone and uses the n-word, and then another post where she's being racist. these screenshots are somewhere in the depths of my phone and it would be impossible to find them, and regardless, these screenshots are so old that she could've well changed for the better since then.

the problem with her is the fact that she's having arguments in the comments with young fans (asking stuff like did they have brain tumours for breakfast and other ridiculous things...or was that louise?) and posts even more ridiculous stories in response to people bullying louise, and protecting her like she's a toddler who can't take care of herself. the pure arrogance and self-importance with which she communicates her ideas is just mental, she thinks that she's on the top of the world, and encourages louise to act the same way. it's baffling that two 40-ish women think that bullying 14 year olds will achieve anything other than encouraging other 'fans' to act the same way.

the thing about matt is just basically the fact that ever since he's been with amanda, he acts the same way as her. now, i know there's been some issue about some idiots commenting about his daughter, which made him deactivate his ig account, and i have absolutely no words for the people who dared to say anything about that poor, innocent, completely blameless child. but even before this, he turned to the same kind of arrogance as amanda and reposted all her stories concering louise. the way that they need to say over and over again what a good person louise is, how much alex loves her, how great their relationship is, how beautiful and kind and caring she is... makes you really question if she really is indeed all those things (especially if you opened those links i posted). more importantly, what exactly do they plan to achieve arguing with teenage girls? it's so childish, my god, they are only adding fuel to the fire. god knows what they're telling alex and also god knows what he thinks about it all.

there's something that i'm not 100% sure about, but i'm gonna say it in the hopes that someone will see this and will tell me if this is wrong or not: matt cheated on breana when both her parents died (this one is definitely true), and left her with 1 year old amelia, and fucked off to live with another woman (amanda denies being the woman in question, i have no idea). she was solo parenting for a while (breana said all these in a podcast), then matt woke up and decided that he wants something to do with his daughter after all, and ever since then he takes care of her too - good job love, you're still horrible though.

in short, l&a's insanely childish antics dragged matt into the whole thing too. they're constantly throwing hissy fits, in hopes to achieve god knows what, and then they feel proud of themselves for telling teenage girls off. which makes you think, what would happen if am would be 10 times more popular than they are know, and louise would get 10 times the hate she gets now? or even better, what would happen if louise would get the same amount of hate miles gets on the daily? she said in her screenshot that she knows that it's only a minority of the fandom that leave such mean comments - then what's the point of paying attention to it? all this just shows another reason why these two definitely don't like each other - miles has brains, the other one... well, i'm sorry. i tried my best to like them and look past their mistakes,but i just can't do it.

MASTER WISHLIST

this is far longer than expected.

they are organised by muse, but I'm not organising them as like canons, then originals. they're just all in this together.

The Menagerie do you have a smug shithead muse? we have a zoo! pick one or two or three to bully your muse with. they're all a pain in the ass. (the menagerie are the animals. they're all canons from different sources.)

---

Bucky Bucky and general DC heroes (MCU/DC crossover) (I started writing half my muses on MCU/DC crossover forum sites, including Bucky! I'm throwing him back into his roots)

Batman I just think Bucky meeting Batman would be very funny, especially in a professional setting and especially if canon divergent post-Endgame. Bucky having war flashbacks to being chased through Bucharest by a man dressed as a cat because 'so many superheroes are furries.'

Wonder Woman Bucky and Diana based on that one fan plot where Diana was involved, in some way, with fighting during WWII and they met back then and then meet again in the modern day. bonus points if Diana thinks he's his own grandson and he doesn't correct her.

Superman idk Bucky and Superman would just be kinda wholesome? also if Superman mun comfortable, Bucky would totally have a crush on Superman. you can't convince me otherwise. also Clark and Bucky as a ship would be 'pure of heart, dumb of ass' in that order and it makes me giggle.

Other any of the Batfam would also be fun but there's every chance they get unofficially adopted. new dad! new dad! new dad!

I don't know that many DC heroes. girl help. who else is there? idk but I want them!

Bucky + ship partner post-mission shit. anything. just them being like 'thank FUCK that's over with'. snuggling. idgaf.

Bucky + Steve, Bucky + Sam pure of heart, dumb of ass. this is a never-ending want. it's not a specific want, either. I just like putting them in threads together.

Bucky + Thor I don't know why but I've always wanted to and never gotten the chance to.

Bucky/Loki 🥺👉👈 Listen...

Bucky + Spider-Muses I once joked about Bucky adopting various Spider-characters and I still want it. Bucky is the ancient, morally ambiguous MCU Batman on this blog, in that he will not stop fucking adopting people, but at least Bruce usually adopts children. Bucky'll adopt a 30 year old. they're still 70 years younger than him so they're fair game.

---

Joker Joker + Batman <3 Joker is obsessed with Batman. ofc I want to thread them. I want every possible thread in any verse that's most comfortable. Joker is my comfort villain.

Joker + Batman characters in general (focused on villains/rogues gallery) I have no specifics, I just realised he talks to the Rogues Gallery a lot in comics/cartoons and my Joker… hasn't. ever. I can fix that.

---

Dylan Dylan and Heroes (any DC) I also want Dylan and Gotham heroes, Gordon, etc.. Dylan needs more screentime 'cause her ass is overshadowed by the fuckin owl at this point. lbr who isn't.

Dylan and Heroes (any MCU) also Dylan plus marvel heroes since she has an MCU verse. do I have icons? fuck no. am I asking for Dylan threads regardless? fuck yes.

---

Jameson Jameson and Heroes (any) Mortitaint is a masked murderer. that's it. that's the pitch. you want your muse hit with a shovel? I can help with that! also if any men want a boyfriend who is sweaty and dirty every day and surprisingly strong……………. im just saying……………… and then they can one day find out the other is a hero/villain……………………….. drama. 👀 (this includes anti-heroes)

Jameson and Villains (any) I just think it'd be interesting, y'know? Jameson doesn't tend to play well with others, in general, but there's a chance it doesn't go horribly wrong!

---

Wag Wag and X-Men Characters Wagner Himura is an X-Men oc that, in his entire time on my blog, has never threaded with an X-Men character. it can be any character and any verse. I don't care. I just want him to speak to other mutants, man.

Logan specifically, I would like Wag and Logan threads. I always picture Wag as a general pest when he starts working at the school, like throwing water balloons filled with speed potions at people that annoy him kind of pest, and I get the feeling Logan would either hate his guts, like him because he does not discriminate between students and teachers, or be very cautious because he doesn't know Wag's limits while Wag's just like 'hey ;D I don't actually find you attractive but if flirting means I don't get stabbed, I'll flirt. ;D I'm high as a fuckin kite rn lmao ;D'

Charles Xavier Wag and Charles would also be funny because of the aforementioned 'high as a kite'.

Brotherhood any brotherhood muse in his brotherhood verse would be nice, too. Idk how he got into the brotherhood in that verse and I want to explore it. I just miss writing Wag, lbr.

OCs tbh any OC. let's yeet our x-men OCs together and see what bad ideas they come out with. it'll be funny. I'm willing to make up places that they can go through a portal to, as well.

---

Bam and X-Men Characters Bam has an X-Men verse in which he vibrates particles when angry and I just… I miss Bam being chaotic. I miss Bam being a mess. she's gotten too collected and I want disaster Bam back. I don't have specific preferences for this one.

---

Wag and Bam Basically, both Wag and Bam (in his X-Men verse) have abilities that can/are activated by emotions. With Wag, he has more control over his abilities and thus the chances of anger doing anything is low but not zero. If his anger is doing anything, it's a silent, 'scorched Earth' kind of anger that mostly shows in things moving telekinetically. With Bam, his power is exclusively activated by anger.

I just want that in a(nother, in Bam's case) thread or plot. It'd be fun.

---

Mattie and Avengers/SHIELD/HYDRA Mattie worked for both SHIELD and HYDRA so I would like to establish some kind of relations with SHIELD and HYDRA muses, but she also sent records to the Avengers after the fall of HYDRA and began torturing/murdering HYDRA agents who survived The Snap so like……….. 👀

also Avengers meeting her after The Blip or whatever dumb bitch shit The Snap 2: Electric Boogaloo is canonically called would be… like she a gremlin in the swamplands. she's a whole fuckin cryptid by that point. I want her ex-coworkers to meet the cryptid she's become and be like, '... ayo? you good?' and her to be knee-deep in swamp water, dragging a body, like, '... yup!'

---

Arnulf Arnulf and Steve's Friends arnulf needs to meet non-Steve avengers (or others who know him). it would be funny. 'hey you kinda look like Steve Rogers..' '[subtle german accent] a lot of people say that! it's so strange. I don't see it.'

Past - HYDRA threads between like 2012-2014 would be interesting? idk. I feel like I've forgotten how to write serious threads.

---

Ultron + MCU? I'm sure i've mentioned this before but I just really want Ultron to reunite with the avengers through like idk texts? e-mails? something technology based so the urge to blow his ass up is reduced.

this is not limited to just the avengers. you have an MCU hero muse? a child of a canon? I'll take 'em. give me any muse who may know Ultron or his reputation.

---

Dick + Heroes (MCU) LET HIM BITCH AT AN AVENGER ABOUT THAT ALIEN THAT GOT THROWN THROUGH THE WINDOW OF HIS WORK. he deserves this.

---

Ai and Tony Stark I always imagine that they know each other due to being rich and fundraisers and shit like that. Ai might be an assassin but she gives to charity and does all the Very Good Things she's meant to which means attending Stark fundraisers and drinking his booze x

they do not have to like each other. I don't think Ai has met a single person she likes since she killed her husband, I'll be honest.

---

Villains generally I do want more villain threads where my villain muses are being villains and doing villainous things. like, I have Joker and Ultron who deserve some attention but also Jameson, Ai, Mattie, Jesse, I have a verse where Bam's a villain (he's doing it for the vibes. that'd hold up in court /s), I have the brotherhood verse with Wag… like… plz. I want my muses to go apeshit.

---

Fandomless OCs (Liaxee, the Bringer, Lieat) also I would like to do more with supernatural/fantasy/generally fandomless OCs and Liaxee or the Bringer or Lieat. Liaxee is a joy to write, the Bringer is my dumb bitch, and Lieat's the cutest muse I have. I love them all, your honour.

I think Supernatural (the show) muses and any of these three would be fun, too. especially Lieat, because idk if there's anything like them in the Supernatural universe?

I know I have two doctor who blogs following me so I'm lumping them in with supernatural/fantasy/fandomless oc/Superrnatural (the show). yous wanna meet a void creature?

---

Special Requests have you ever seen a Crazy Quilt RPer? he's my favourite Batman villain. please. (this is mostly a joke but if there actually is a Crazy Quilt RPer, I want to know.)

Egghead is another DC special request because I love Batman villains.

also Typeface and Spellcheck. Idk them that well, but I want to and I have Spider-Man.

[eluvixnsarchived]

no one asked for it but since i am trapped beneath a cat who is biting me every time i try to end this cuddle session here is some haylin lore

- comes from a pirate hyur mother and an elezen gridanian father

- has an older brother that got smoked with their father during the calamity when he was fighting on the frontlines

- has no contact with ma bc ma abandoned them

- came to gridania hoping to find some sort of life and home but instead found ghosts and ruin

- would never have gone down the path of adventurer if she wasnt so in need of a few bucks

- only went with yda and paps and to the waking sands bc she needed that cash money your girl was BROKE

- stayed with the scions bc of minf and her understanding of the echo

- got super attached to alphie bc she missed the sibling feeling and only continued to stay for him

- and bc she thought thancred was tasty

- and bc where else would she fucking go at this point

- DEFINITELY had a few choice words for lahabrea when the big reveal happened and definitely told alphie if he strayed too far from her side she would drag him around by his ankles

- definitely wanted g'raha during the crystal tower quests and definitely cried a bit when they were over

- canonly bothers urianger when she's bored and he knows this but humours her anyway bc he eventually peaks her curiosity and he knows this dumb bitch cant resist acting on it so now he can infodump all he wants and shes just chin in hands the whole time bc shes basically learning history tea

- definitely has not recovered from the vault and the crippling guilt

- definitely cornered hancock when he first showed up and told him if he fucks with tataru shes gonna serve his balls on a kebab skewer seasoned and fried to him

- the scions have definitely come to her room to go out on jobs and she's definitely opened the door butt ass naked. now they just call over link pearl ( and when she doesnt answer they send y'shtola )

- has thought about how she'd kick the asses of every scion except y'shtola bc even she knows better

- tried to be a white mage like dad and it didnt fit. tried to be a dragoon like brother but it didnt fit. tried to be a warrior to try and connect with her mother but it didnt fit. became a dark knight when the anger she held after the vault kicked in. became a reaper when she figured out being a real warrior of darkness has more appeal than being the golden child of a god who was never there

- the only reason she isnt a mercenary for hire for the highest bidder is bc she loves the scions too much and alphie is her north star

- that being said if she ever lost him or g'raha or thancred or estinien she'd probably kill the source herself bc whats the point in living in it if they're not there any more?

- is v adventurous though like DO NOT ENTER signs are like moth to flame for her shes just too curious she HAS to know

- flirting with nero so he gets uncomfortable and weirded out is her favourite hobby

- she does the same to estinien and this is my reasoning as to why he took so long to join the scions it it wasnt the commitment issues it was fucking haylin lurking in the shadows ready to tell him he holds his rod well

- is alisaie's number one fan she would kill for this kid she would fight anyone

- insists g'raha goes with her everywhere they're joined at the hip she wants him bad

- her crush on thancred turned into 'this is my partner in crime my best friend my brother in arms'

- urianger is her person though

- worships the ground y'shtola walks on like her word is law

- scar across her nose is from wandering too far into the forests alone as a kid and getting smacked by the beasties in there before her brother came to the rescue

- has a multitude of scars from various things and her story for each one is never the truth ( it's easier and better that way )

- you can bet ur ass she tried to see where things would go with aymeric but stopped when she realised he really is that kind and noble and she didnt want to ruin that bc she is utterly convinced she's not worth a damn thing

- which is probably why she throws herself into harms way so willingly. not just for the scions, or the people, or the weak. but bc she thinks she deserves whatever pain is coming

- and because she KNOWS she can take it. she can withstand it

- she's just too stubborn to not stand up again after it

[thats-how-i-like-it]

0, 3 and 6 for your Helluva Boss and Arcana S/I's!

Hii thanks for the ask! and sorry I took so long, I was inspired and this got quite long lol.

0 – What are some of the inspirations behind your S/I? Are they exactly like you? Were they an OC? Did any of your favorite characters have any influence in their design/personality?

HB- I took a bit of inspiration from Barbie Wire, and Sally May for my s/i's design, but I based their overall features on my own, personality-wise they're mostly just like me, albeit a bit more cynical and tired, here's a doodle of him:

He's an hybrid between an imp and a succubi, so he has wings (though they are underdeveloped and he can't fly), he always covers them with his coat.

TA- I haven't fleshed out his design, and I haven't drawn him still but I'm taking inspiration from ghibli movies and general depictions of sorcerers, as well as the game's own aesthetic.

6 – What's the relationship dynamic between your S/I and your F/O? Be as vague or as descriptive as you'd like.

(I'll answer this before 3 so you have context for the scenes)

HB- Fizzarolli and Ruzzle (that's my s/i's name) are good friends and coworkers, Ruzzle is Fizzarolli's Financial Advisor and the voice of reason of Fizz (second voice of reason really, but Ozzie doesn't mind the help) as well as the one who offers an ear to Fizz's ramblings and troubles of daily life, they have a very "talks a lot/listens" dynamic.

TA- Portia and Julian have an unique kind of relationship with my s/i (who, I'm not gonna lie, it's just me if I was in The Arcana, down to the name), after the event's of the game, they got closer than ever, and started a relationship that wasn't quite romantic but wasn't platonic either, at first my s/i was a bit worried that dating both siblings at the same time was going to be awkward for them but while they were in the beginning of their relationship, Julian and Portia's repressed feelings for each other started to surface again and so he was at the middle of the siblings' crisis of "I'm in love with my sister/brother wth I do!?" but they figured it out eventually, they have a "chaotic with a soft heart/kind of heart dumb of ass/chill enabler " and "sun/moon/earth" dynamic.

Now with Asra, him and my s/i are biological siblings, but Asra, being in (a bit of obsessive) love with his little brother, put a spell on him so that he forgot they were related, and started romancing them, they were a little on and off at the start of their relationship (not because of major disagreements or anything like that, but because Asra's long travels and the fact that the guilt he felt made him distance himself a bit from the apprentice) but after the events of the game they started slowly getting back together (after my s/i got together with Portia and Julian).

Asra is very protective of his little brother apprentice and partner, and oftentimes gets possessive of them but always finds a way to brush it off or downplay it, he gets this way specially with Julian and Portia (specially Julian, given their shared history), but loves and values my s/i enough to not let it consume him and respect his partner's other relationships.

They have a "confident/nervous", "obsessed/chill" and "mysterious/wears heart on their sleeves" dynamic.

3 – Have you ever imagined any episodes or segments of your F/O's source starring your S/I? If so, what did they get up to?

HB- I can imagine after Oops, Ruzzle was really worried about Fizzarolli, and advised him against participating in Mammon's clown contest this year.

"Didn't you study Business? I can't just not go, it's not good for marketing!"

"Fizz, you were kidnapped and physically hurt, I think your brand can handle you taking a rest"

"But-"

"Think about your mental health Fizzarolli!"

"I'm fine! I've been through way worse!"

I can imagine them being a little tense with each other after that discussion, but when Fizzarolli quit his horrible job and told Mammon to suck it, Ruzzle was the first one to call him and congratulate him.

TA- I have three f/o's from the arcana so bear with me for a second.

I've thought about my s/i spending a lazy sunday with Portia and Julian in Mazelinka's house, helping making lunch, cuddling together, and listening to embarrassing stories from when they were kids.

"One may think that their rowdiness came with the years, but no, did you know that they set fire to their bed once?"

"You two did what!?"

"We were trying to make breakfast for Mazelinka! and someone named Ilya left a match out just in grabbing's reach"

"How was I supposed to know you were going to try to set fire to your kitchen toy set!?"

"How else was I supposed to cook the vegetables!?"

I can also see us running around at the palace, or trying not to make noises while making out on Julian's desk at the library.

With Asra, (and spoilers for his route) you know how in canon him and the apprentice met at the Masquerade? well here, after being left orphaned after their parents died at the hands of Lucio, they were left living on the streets for a while, until there was a day Asra couldn't find my s/i even after looking everywhere, and thus got separated and didn't find each other again until the Masquerade, and at that point Asra had spend the past who-knows-how-many years cultivating his obsessive love with his brother, that he cast a spell on them so they thought they had just met that night.

"Asra! oh my stars I can't believe it's you! after we got separated I promise I tried to look for you I swear but- oh I'm just so glad, I'm just so glad I have my older sibling back, can I keep hugging you?"

"...Yeah, of course, I missed you too, you don't know how much I missed you, my love."

And after putting his hands on their head, giving them a kiss in between their eyes, a twinkling noise was heard.

"...Huh? what- what were we talking about again?"

Asra smiled, albeit it didn't quite reach his eyes yet, as he pulled away to look at them.

"You were telling me you had a headache, and wanted to head outside for fresh air"

"Ah, yes, now that you mentioned it my head does hurt a little. Let's bring this conversation to the gardens, shall we?"

"Of course" he grabbed their hand gently and brought it up to his lips "I've never met someone as clever as you, you know?"

The other giggled "Thanks for the compliment, I could say the same, now let's go before my headache gets worse."

[bisluthq]

There were several guys that didn’t like Taylor’s pr driven lifestyle and were even terrified of it. Tyler of the All American Rejects said he didn’t like her lifestyle. Hozier said he wasn’t interested in a relationship when asked about her, but he went on to some kind of relationship with other women. Interesting he didn’t deny dating her. Tom O’Dell was absolutely terrified of it. She publicly flaunted him to spite Harry, but it never went anywhere because she picked the wrong guy. These guys are just the ones we know about. Harry, Jake, and Joe A didn’t like the spotlight into the romance, and Calvin and Matty certainly hated her stans. Are we to believe all these guys are the ones with the problem, and not her at all? They all soured on a relationship with her, but most went on to long term relationships or even marriage with others.

Ehhhhh. Ehhhhhhhhhh. I hear some of what you’re saying but like for me the point is it takes two to tango. Hiddles and Calvin are significantly older than Taylor and only quite/very recently (respectively) found their forever partners (for now lol at least like marriage isn’t actually till death do you part; sources: my parents and my boyfriend lol). Harry dated Taylor when he was 19 and she was 23 and like idk I didn’t know what the fuck I wanted at 19 or for that matter 23. I still find it a bit weird she was into him then because like at 23 I was a TA and teaching 19 yos and certainly not thinking about marriage with their dumb asses but like I also didn’t fundamentally know what I want. I still don’t know that I do for sure and like my 20s are finished and done right but I’m still I suppose young and I don’t know for sure. I think Taylor not knowing is human and here I do think there’s some internalized misogyny. Boys are allowed to pick and choose right but if a girl isn’t happy with her first few choices somehow she’s the problem??? Nahhhh. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ehhhhh.

also Taylor never flaunted Tom O’Dell lol to spite Harry wtf are you talking about bestie?? They were papped pretty organically on one date (I do think they had a few more) and he went on to release a song about her so like idk??? They went on some dates and it didn’t go anywhere????? That’s all that happened??????? He still released a song about it like years later which is objectively a bit weird.

idk guys I can’t tell you how many dates I’ve been on in my life and I’m younger than Taylor and like Taylor also spent a good chunk of my 20s in a serious relationship (mine started earlier and ergo ended earlier ages wise). There are a bunch of people - because I’m bi so like there’s no gender applicable - whose names I can’t even remember. Like first names. I don’t know dudes I can’t recall all of them. I’d be mortified if the press kept a record of that (and Taylor is tbh but also girl ur a public figure we’re allowed to).

I’m a huge Taylor fan and I’m not into this ask and its weird misogynistic like semi slut shaming vibes at all tbqh.

[legionofpotatoes]

Hi Legion! Long time lurker and lover of your art and tags here. I always read your tags and I'm really interested in your thoughts & views on love and relationships, so I'm curious to know where you got those ideas from. Are there any videos, terms, or books you could recommend? It really resonated with me and since I'm a huge nerd my first instinct is to find more sources haha. Thank you so much!

This ask genuinely made me sit with myself and think long and hard about how my views on that stuff really formed, something I maybe took for granted a lil bit. So thanks, and I'm sorry that I can't give a nerdy answer here! It is difficult to point to specific sources, it's more of a lived-experience type thing. It truly is The Question Of All Time lmao. And boy did it get me thinking back.

I'll put my ramble under the cut if this is not interesting or what you're after, but I enjoyed the introspection still! Thank you!

My context is entirely unremarkable (middle class cishet white guy from eastern europe), but if I had to point to one thing that is the bottleneck of my views on love and relationships, I genuinely think it could be traced to my insane early childhood nat20 roll to avoid toxic masculinity pipelines. I truly believe in my bones that if I had been seduced by that stuff - and legitimately all but maybe two of my childhood friends were - I'd be a completely different, colder, worse person today. I credit only luck in that.

Where I'm from, boys of my generation were set on a very specific path very early on that was pointed veeeery far away from "love". All wrapped up in warped orthodox christianity and crypto-nationalist sentiments, stemming from our incredibly disillusioned post-soviet parent figures constantly running in survival mode. So like, I legitimately don't remember how I managed to avoid those circles and behavior patterns, and the truth is that I probably sometimes didn't? I certainly made stupid mistakes in my early teens, but I had the luxury of making them outside of the public eye of social media. More luck.

There's other alchemy of course - as a child of divorce I got a real early up-close look at the ugly results of mistrust and toxic "love", and a lot of my life back then was rebelling against that. Not that the parenting itself was always bad - my mother turned me to the arts and to stories, which eventually led me to fandom that I can now identify as a much healthier outlet for my frustrations than whatever my peers were doing with their nighttime brawls. It led me to a very crystallized idea of what I really wanted from life - not glory or patriotism or ambition, but a quiet life with the ones I loved.

That is also around the time when I let go of teenage lust as my north star and started fostering friendships instead; because like, relationships are bonds and connections, nothing more or less. Sexuality and romantic love can take as big or as small of a role in that as the parties desire, and they're entirely ornamental to the value of linking your experience with another living, breathing human. Realizing the divinity and beauty in that changes almost everything in an instant. And it is such a goofy-ass thing to say, but yeah, for a lost idiot dude like me, fandom helped me see that. Even the raunchiest fics were ultimately about belonging and emotional nakedness, and I learned to desire that more than anything else. I am trying so hard to point to something specific here, but I honestly don't know with way back then. Bioware's found family-ass games/fanfics were a big one later on, but there were so many other communities before. My memory's just bad.

But knowing I wanted love was one thing, and being a healthier, more empathetic person ready to actually get that was a whole other trek. Made a few more dumb interpersonal mistakes. And then I met my current partner, now over twelve years ago, and realized there was a version of me reflected in her eyes that I could truly chase and grow into. This all sounds super melodramatic but it was more of a terrifying thought at the time, stoking self-doubt and real worry that I was leading her into a mistake. But of course that was all a symptom of terminal self-awareness. We were in our early 20s, mature enough not to play childish emotional games, and young enough to go on that growth journey together. More luck. Found that gentle peace I had yearned for with her., and I count my lucky stars to this day.

In short, everything about my understanding of love and relationships is rooted in personal circumstance + massive amounts of luck, and especially that early course-correction away from toxic dudeness. Nothing extracurricular. And then just more and more luck piled on with time, culminating with my lovely bean. So in that sense I'm the worst person to ask this question! And times have really changed irt internet culture and fandom so I can't even point at that part as an action point either.

But if nothing else, I believe that storytelling is the ultimate shortcut in getting our dumb teenage brains over the precipice of pride and control, and towards the gentle pursuit of love in all its forms. I think that's worth articulating over and over again. Thanks for reading this long and I promise I usually interpret asks like a normal person! This is an exception!!! a big question if there ever was one

I kinda want to start readingn yu yu hakusho (manga first bc thats how i roll) sooo would u be interested in pitching the plot and whatnot for me? I know this is smth I could just google buuut, Id like to get some info straight from the best source :3 (a nd fan whos likes to ramble)

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 OKAY SO idk what all the differences are between the manga and the anime (havent read the manga yet but i want to eventually) but yu yu hakusho starts off with, from the very get-go, the protagonist dying! yup, main character just dead right at the start, and the next part is a plot for him going through a test from the spirit world to get his life back! its actually pretty emotional, because yusuke (the protag) didnt want to come back until he realize how much the people hes closed to cared about him, but throughout the show he makes more friends and realizes more of what he wants to live for (while theyre all constantly risking their lives in battles jfkdjfj) and becomes way more well off by the end of the show.

a lot of the show is yusuke taking various cases from spirit world as their designated spirit detective, fighting demons and sometimes humans to protect the world through the use of his spirit gun power! theres a whole lot of excellent humor along with intense moments, and i cant pinpoint exactly how they do it but even the funny stuff happening during serious moments dont really retract from each other, unlike how some other series it can feel like awkward tone shifts.

yusuke is a snarky son of a bitch, absolute delinquent that loves to kick ass. hes defintely not the brightest, but he makes up for that in sheer willpower (and luck lol). hes not a pure goody boy protag, hes a lovable asshole!

kuwabara is similar to yusuke in being a delinquent that loves to fight, but he has much more of an honor code and actually tries to be polite and really sweet sometimes (especially to his big crush in the show) despite his usual brash loudness lol. hes the himbo of the group! he also has a kitten he loves :3

kurama is one of my top favorite characters ever (and my kin) because hes just so??? interesting??? hes literally the best character in the show to put in a situation. any of them. so none of this is spoilers bc this is all shit he straight up tells as soon as he shows up in like, episode 7 or something: hes a fox demon thief that almost was killed, but he managed to transfer his spirit into an unborn human child and was raised by his human mother, whos kindness ended up changing him from cruel and ruthless, to a much kinder person. hes a interesting mix of characteristics, where he can equally be the kindest of the group, but he can also still be the most ruthless. plus they really play up the pretty boy factor and his main weapon is a rose whip hes fucking great. also despite him being a lot kinder now hes still defintely an asshole sometimes and loves messing with people bc hes still a fox at heart.

THEN HIEI. HIEI HIEI HIEI HIEI I LOVE HIM SO SO SO SOSOOOOOO MUCH. him and kurama are partners (demon partners but gay partners too bc i say so, and also theres no one else hiei compliments so much like he does with kurama and theyre like 90% of the time together and kurama teases hiei SO MUCH and theyre just adorable okay,) hes my hearthrob trope of angsty edgy guy whos so tsundere about actually caring about people but hes actually SO soft deep down and just needs more love in his life. and is super hot. literally anytime this dude gets into battle he often either rips his shirt off or his shirt rips itself off by the sheer power of his fucking energy i love him. hes such a badass. and he has nice tits. and hes soooo soso sososososoososo cute he has the most adorable surprised faces and hfjjjdjfk OKAY ill try to hold off the gay a little bit to actually explain his character. hes such a rude little asshole and is often the quiet one at the edge of the room thatll snark you if he catches you being dumb. hes such a tsundere about having friends and caring about them but even yusuke can see through his shit and calls him out on it and says hiei will be there when they need him. short angry man gets friends who he cares for and who cares for him.

BTW THO there is some Iffy Moments in the show id recommend checking out the doesthedogdie site for various trigger stuff if u think ud need it !!! and unfortunately the anime often has a LOT of flashing lights so if that would affect you then you may have to stick to the manga, or maybe theres someone whos edited the show to be safe for photosensitive folks?? do ppl do that? idk. but still despite some flaws in the series, the characters are just so !!!!!! [SQUEEZES THEM LIKE A SQUISHY TOY] im literally so obsessed with them theyre just a fun cast with the best interactions aaa theyre like family to me (bc im kurama kinnie)

ALSO !!! IF U DO CHECK IT OUT FEEL FREE TO YELL AT ME ABOUT STUFF !!!!!!

Being a part of the time patrol had plenty of benefits, Being able to travel through timelines and see some of the most historical events in history, being able to train with some of the most legendary heroes the universe has to offer, a very good discount at the local food places, it was safe to say that being a time patroller was a hell of a gig. But to John, the best part was the scenery. When you travel across the universe and through multiple timelines, you often get to go to strange alien worlds and those alien worlds have such sights to behold. Of course those sights are only so good, and are always better when  you have company. “Hellooooo? Earth to john? You in there big guy?“ A voice brought John out of his thoughts, he looked over at the source of the voice. The Feistiest teacher John had ever had, one of the more deranged members of the time patrol, and now his lover. There she stood, the buu woman with the wild and ferocious look in her eyes and a grinning jaw full of sharp teeth. “Sorry flora, I was just admiring the place, it really is pretty here and I figured since we finished the mission why dont we hang out here for awhile. After all, I'm sure you're in no rush to head back and deal with the supreme kai and that boring time patrol stuff.” John said looking over at the aggressive buu who stopped to think about what he said, rubbing her chin as she eventually let out a giggle. “Yeah you got me there, i'm in no rush to head back and deal with all that dumb time stuff. Ill leave that to velt and the others, i do wish there was a good fight here. Im itching to beat some ass” Flora snarled, cracking her knuckles as she grinned at her partner. John just smiled and laughed, taking a seat in the grass. “Your always itching for a fight, i'd be concerned if you weren't. Come on sit with me, suns going down and stars should be out soon.” He said, patting the grass, drawing a giggle from the buu as she sat down. “God you're a cheesy romantic you know that? A night beneath the stars really? I feel like i'm in one of Velts dumb romance novels.” She teased the man, poking him in the side making him laugh and knocking her hand away as she leans her head on his shoulder and they sit there looking into the sky. As the two sat their they watched the sun slowly dip past the horizon and the skies darken, and slowly one by one millions and millions of stars sparked to life in the sky. Each one blipped into existence when the light of the sun went away. “Yeah i have to hand it to you this is a pretty sight” Flora said looking into the sky as john looked at her, he couldn't help but smile looking at her. The soft smile on her face coupled with the reflection of the millions of stars in her eyes stunned him with her beauty. “Yeah, you are a pretty sight” John said, kissing the buu on the cheek. Flora turned to him as her pink cheeks turned bright red and he could see it even through her pink skin. “i…a..AAaa” Flora squealed, smacking his chest with her hands, her emotions so much she couldn't help but squeal, flora was never good with emotions as she flailed against john as he laughed loudly into the night as he hugged her close.

Prompt and thanks here

Why We Should Support Megan Thee Stallion

A timeline of events.

Hanna Phifer

Nov. 15, 2022 02:57PM EST

Let’s make one thing clear, we support Black women– period. Megan Thee Stallion has become the latest example of the mistreatment Black women often face when speaking up for themselves. Since July 2020, when reports first surfaced that Megan, born Megan Pete, was allegedly shot by singer/ rapper Tory Lanez, she has had to deal with the dual trauma of the initial shooting and the subsequent harassment by Lanez, his fans, powerful people in the music industry, and the overall effort to discredit her.

Gun violence is an issue that continues to disproportionately impact Black women. According to a 2022 study, “Black women are three times more likely to be fatally shot by an intimate partner compared to white women.” (Megan has denied having an intimate relationship with Lanez.) During a particularly fraught time in hip hop, when we’ve lost so many artists to gun violence, including the recent murder of rapper Takeoff, it’s difficult to witness the continued minimizing and victim blaming of Megan by her peers in the business.

xoNecole has compiled a timeline of the events that unfolded following Megan’s shooting, including members of the industry who have seemingly undermined her story.

Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez: A Timeline of Events

July 12, 2020 

Reports surfaced that Megan had been shot by an unreported assailant while with Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, his bodyguard, and Megan’s friend at the time Kelsey Nicole when leaving a party at Kylie Jenner’s house.

July 16, 2020

Page Six exclusively reported that Lanez had officially been named as a potential suspect in the shooting. “Tory fired the shots from within the vehicle while Megan was outside trying to leave,” a source told the outlet. “There is video and the police are investigating. This is a case of a man physically harming and abusing a woman.”

It was also reported around this time that Megan unfollowed the singer on Instagram. 

July 22, 2020

Megan gets on Twitter to clap back at reality star Draya Michele who went on a podcast and suggested that Lanez and Megan “had some sort of Bobby and Whitney love that drove them down this type of road" and joked that “I want you to like me so much you shoot me in the foot too."

“Dumb bitch that shit ain’t fucking funny who tf jokes about getting shot by a nigga,” Megan tweeted. 

Michele would later apologize saying that her attempt at a joke fell flat and that "I truly don’t glorify domestic violence... I was trying to say just love me deeply."

July 23, 2020

Podcaster Adam22 reports that sources told him that Megan and Lanez were in a sexual relationship and that there was a flirtation between Jenner and Lanez at the party. Their interaction reportedly caused Megan to become jealous and start “violating his ass” and “really shitting on him.”That same day, rapper Cam’ron received backlash on social media after posting a transphobic comment about Megan saying, "Tory Lanez saw that dick and started shootn..IDC what no one say."

July 28, 2020

Rapper 50 Cent issues an apology to Megan after posting a meme depicting the Grammy award-winner as the character Ricky from the film Boyz n the Hood as he’s being shot.

“👀Damn I didn’t think this shit was real,🤦♂️It sounded so crazy @theestallion i’m glad your [sic] feeling better and i hope you can accept my apology. I posted a meme that was floating around. I wouldn’t have done that if i knew you was really hurt sorry. 🤷🏽♂️," he wrote.

Megan posts a photo of her injured foot on Instagram in an attempt to quell rumors that she wasn’t shot. 

August 21, 2020

Megan gets on IG live and confirms that Lanez allegedly shot her. “Since y’all hoes so worried ’bout it, yes, this nigga Tory shot me,” she said. “You shot me. And you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and shit. Stop lying. Why lie? I don’t understand. I tried to keep the situation off the internet, but you dragging it.

She continued, “You really fucking dragging it. Motherfuckers talking about I hit this nigga. I never hit you. Motherfuckers like, ‘Oh she mad ’cause he was trying to fuck with Kylie.’ No, I wasn’t. Like, you dry shot me. Like, everybody in the car – there’s only four motherfuckers in the car: me, you, my homegirl, and your security. I get out the car, I’m done arguing. I don’t wanna argue no more. I get out, I’m walking away. This nigga, from outside the back seat of the car, start shooting me. You shot me!”

She also addressed rumors that the injury to her foot was actually caused by broken glass. “I ain’t get cut by no glass, but let me tell you why they’re saying that: the people in the neighborhood –there’s a witness – when the police came because the neighbors called the police – this did not happen at Kylie’s house.” She continued, “This happened damn near back at the house I was staying at. I was just trying to get home. We were five minutes away from my spot. The police come and I’m scared.”

“All this shit going on with the police. The police are shooting motherfuckers for anything. The police was literally killing Black people for no motherfucking reason. Soon as the police tell us all ‘Get out the motherfucking car,' the police is really aggressive,” she explained. “You think I’m bout to tell the police that we – niggas, us Black people – got a gun in the car?! You want me to tell them that we got a gun in the car so they can shoot all of us up? Nigga, I’m scared.”

Megan performs on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest and she stops mid-performance to share a message about supporting Black women. "We need to protect our Black women and love our Black women, 'cause at the end of the day, we need our Black women,” she preached.

October 8, 2020 

Lanez was officially charged with one count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and one count of carrying a loaded, concealed firearm in a vehicle.

October 13, 2020

Megan writes an op-ed for The New York Times titled “Why I Speak Up for Black Women.” The article states: “I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him. We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place.

My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends. Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted.”

October 20, 2020

Lanez gets on IG live to discuss the aftermath of the shooting and says that he still considers Megan to be a friend even if she doesn’t but that “I know what happened, and what you’re saying, what the alleged things and the alleged accusations of my name is, are not true. It’s falsified information. It’s false information.”

Megan responded on Twitter saying: “This Nigga genuinely crazy.”

July 20, 2021

June 15, 2022

In her Rolling Stone cover, Megan addresses the shooting saying that she wants Lanez to “go under the jail,” and that “I thought everyone in the car was my friend, [and] the whole time that’s not how they thought of me.”

August 24, 2022

The H-town rapper responded to the lyric by tweeting, “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol Niggas nor hoes EVER address me or @ me WITH a fact or receipts. I AM CLOUT BITCH keep sucking my pussy.”

Houston legend Bun B comes out in support of his fellow hometown resident. “I know Tory, I know his manager. I know all of ‘em. Fuck all that, though. If the man on drugs, get him some goddamn rehab. If the man got mental health issues, get him some therapy,” he said.

“But you not just gon’ sit here and shoot this girl, and we not say nothin’. This shit not real. Nobody’s talking about it because it’s a Black woman… put your hands on Lady Gaga and see how quick they lock your ass up.”
