#spinny rant

[spinnysocks]

dustpelt and ravenpaw are brothers right? imagine if spiderleg or shrewpaw looked like raven. i don't think dust and raven were ever close but imagine dust feeling a stab of pain in his chest looking at his newborn son, who looks just like his brother who he never got close to and now is essentially removed from his life. if shrewpaw looked like raven it would be quite a resemblance - dustpelt can no longer reach his son or his brother, losing both when they were just apprentices. if spiderleg looked like raven, dustpelt watches his son's misery grow just like ravenpaw's did in the clan

When they have a crush on you

«─────────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───────────»

▸ Characters; Law, Kidd, Luffy

▸ Warnings; GN reader

▸ a/n; my first OP work !!!! im still trying to grasp how to write for them but !!! i hope you all enjoy :] (psst- requests are open!)

«─────────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───────────»

-> LAW

▸ Law refuses to show any emotional vulnerability. So when he realizes that YOU are the one making his emotions go absolutely haywire- its not a good scene.

▸ He cares about you so much. He doesnt form attachments easily, so when he does prepare for him to never let go.

▸ He starts to avoid you. Like, you cannot find him on the polar tang type of avoiding. He's afraid to put you in serious danger, he's wanted by the world covernment, has billions of beri on his head- he couldn't stand to put you in more danger.

▸ Law SAYS he is perfectly content with holding these feelings in until he dies. He is lying. At some point his frustration comes to a head and he just , corners you in the sub after not speaking to you for THREE WEEKS and word vomits all his emotions out while looking like a tomato.

▸ If you accept law is . surprisingly elated. This commitment doesn't feel heavy or scary like he imagined. He's not the biggest fan of PDA but he ABSOLUTELY links pinkies with you when walking around. (bepo, shaichi, and penguin are yall's biggest fans ever. they SO hide in the bushes during the first date and get discovered 😭)

▸ If you reject law .. he'll retreat back into his shell. He was open with you, and now he probably wont be. ever again. Really awkward interactions ensue.

-> KIDD

▸ He's so oblivious to his own emotions !!!!!! He's so mean to you all the time but he's killing anyone who lays a hand on you. He feels nauseous and feverish and embarrassed whenever he's around you but he's anxious and jittery when you're NOT around!

▸ He gets sooo jealous too. you could be like, sitting next to someone and he'll be breaking a tankard in his fist 😭.

▸ HE TRIES SO HARD TO IMPRESS YOU!!! He's smashing someone's face in extra flashily when you look his way. Carrying super heavy objects when youre in his vicinity. showing you all his latest inventions. He's almost like a really aggressive, abrasive puppy waiting on you to praise him.

▸ He probably blurts out all of his feelings when you sit just a little too close after one too many beers. He's raging at you for "making my head all spinny" and "making me feel like im gonna vomit glitter" while Heat and Wire are cackling in the background. Killer has his head in his hands while Kidd continues his drunken rant.

▸ If you somehow manage to wrangle him back to the ship and accept his confession, you will have a clingy, kissy kidd to deal with. He will not let you go. Your post-confession gift is a cranky, hungover kidd.

▸ If you reject him ... Kidd practically explodes. Not at you, but everyone who pisses him off is getting chewed out 10x as bad. He's hurt, and he needs time to tend his wounds. Your friendship will never be the same, but he won't make your life a living hell.

-> LUFFY

▸ Luffy is straightforward, honest, and determined. If he likes you, he'll say it loud and clear. He doesn't exactly know the line between romantic and platonic feelings, so it'll take someone like robin or sanji to clear that up for him.

▸ He is also very physically affectionate. Where you go, luffy goes. You have to practically beg to go to the bathroom alone. Skinny, Tall, Short, Chubby; luffy loves it all! He gomu-gomu no cuddles you constantly.

▸ He doesn't really get jealous. He trusts you! And he knows youre great, so obviously everyone would want to spend time with you! Just make sure he's in your top priorities.

▸ Luffy's confession is in everything he does. He never steals from your plate unless he's given permission, always makes sure you get the best cuts of meat / best quality veggies. He may just suddenly hold you and kiss you if hes in the mood. Luffy is probably on the aro/ace spectrum, so your relationship may be on the platonic spectrum some days + the romantic spectrum some days.

▸ If you turn down all of Luffy's advances, hes naturally a little let down. He won't stop caring about you, but he'll attempt (key word; attempt) to give you space and not be so affectionate. (how could you possibly turn this boy down >:[)

[saintjosie]

hi! i’m the skirt go spinny girl!

(and yes @pirateprincessjess and i are dating now!)

hi, i’m saint josie!

i am a 31 year old korean american trans woman, music maker, and content creator.

i make music under the name “saint josie” and my music is about the difficulties and joys of my transition: the pain of loss, finding chosen family, and learning to love myself. i write my own lyrics and music, i produce all of my own stuff, i sing, and i play guitar, bass, drums, keys, and a bunch of random misc instruments like percussion stuff, harmonicas, and even a theramin once. all of my stuff is on all streaming platforms, including soundcloud and now also bandcamp! (links reblogged and pinned!)

i’m on tiktok and instagram as @saint.josie. the content i make is about my journey as a trans woman, silly goofy skits, and also fun moments in my relationship with jess.

on this tumblr you will find some of my videos that i specifically think tumblr will enjoy (but not all of them don’t worry haha), a whole lot of reblogged memes that tickle my funnies, commentary on things that pique my interest, rants about how much i hate capitalism, and a LOT of encouragement for self love.

glad you’re here 💜

[devilsrecreation]

trick or treat!!! /np, nf again!... if i'm allowed to do this twice?

I don’t see any reason why you’re NOT allowed to do it twice!

Spinny, you know my hc where Nduli finally calls Kiburi out on every bad thing he’s done? Well….

Something inside Nduli’s brain snapped the moment those words came out. His claws dug into the ground, a snarl escaping from his mouth as his eyes narrowed. All the negative thoughts that were once spiraling deep inside his brain suddenly jumped out all at once.

“That’s it!”

The rest of his float turned towards Nduli shocked of his unexpected tone.

“I’ve had it with you and your attitude! Ever since this morning, you’ve been so mean to everyone! Whenever any of us do something wrong, you’re just so cold! I’d get it if it were still the Dry Season cuz it makes us moody, but it’s over! Now, you’re just tearing us down for no reason!”

Kiburi scoffed, “Maybe I wouldn’t be if you actually did something right!”

“And that’s another thing! You’re being too hard on everyone lately! We’re all trying really hard to make you happy, but it’s NEVER good enough!” Nduli’s voice softened into a more concerned tone, “And you’re hard on yourself, too! Like you don’t stop sparring until you’re about to pass out and it ain’t good for you! Whatever’s going on, you can tell us!”

“I told you, stop worrying about me.” Kiburi replied, firmly, “Why do you always have to be on my back all the time?!”

“Why do you always have to push everyone away when they’re just trying to be there for you?!”

Absolute silence.

It was like all of Africa had stopped moving around them. Any sounds of their environment had now quieted down. No one spoke a word, not even Tamka—the most talkative one of the float. He and Neema merely exchanged glances, not daring to even breathe. Wakali cowered a bit but kept her eyes locked on her father and uncle. Kiburi had reared his head back, while the rest of his body was frozen. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. Nduli continued,

“First it was Makuu, then your own sister, and now you’re doing it to us! All we want to do is support you when you need it the most! Because that’s what friends do, they care about each other! But no, all you ever do is push away anybody who wants to help! Whenever we try to talk to you, you just say you’re fine and you wanna be left alone! But you’re not fine and we know it! You don’t even wanna hang out with us anymore, not even when you have nothin’ to do! You’re always saying that you’re tired or you don’t feel like it or you wanna be alone. It’s always about YOU and what YOU want, but you don’t even think about any of us anymore!” Nduli took a step towards Kiburi. “YOU didn’t listen to Makuu when we woke up in the Dry Season, YOU challenged Makuu to a mashindano cuz YOU didn’t like the new watering hole we got! YOU wanted us to take down Simba and YOU got us banished from the Pridelands! Just admit it, everything that happened that day was YOUR fault! We had a good home and everything except you blew it cuz you don’t care about anyone but yourself!”

Nduli was left breathing heavily by the end of his rant. His eyes now seemed to be a bit misty, but still glaring daggers at his leader. Kiburi could only blink in disbelief with his mouth slightly agape. Things were quiet again until Nduli eventually caught his breath and spoke again,

“You can find your own way home, Kiburi. I’m done…”

Twin Terrors Turn Teen S17.Ep:1

Rant under the cut

So, as some of you may know I struggled to pull this raggedy birthday party together. I thought I was going to have a cute gameplay party. I planned the event, baked the cakes, and everything. Nothing went right. Everyone glitched out. Winter turned into a whole other sim with no skin and a completely different outfit on.

Then neither twin did the spinny thing when they blew out their candles on their cakes. I expected to have to go in CAS but I thought I get a shot of them spinning around. Anyway, even though I removed the front door a lot of the guests started to disappear. No one would eat the cake, no one would play the games, it was just a mess. Then to add insult to injury Elijah changed too and ended up somewhere in a household that doesn't exist, unrelated to his family. So I gave up. Hopefully, the next two big events go better since I'm posing them. I'm already ready for another break.

[soukokumychildren]

I. ABSOLOUTLY. ADORE YOUR IDEA WITH YOUR AU SO MUCHhhhhaaaaah!! ✨✨✨✨🖤🖤

Chuuya having WINGS!!? Even though he could in somee way fly before already, it feels so different with wings!! Like really cool!!

(( I have always Liked wings -

Is your AU going to follow the main time-line of the show? Like, the illustrations you've posted sure does look like it-- (love them- love this idea-) ((Soukoku Reunion where Chuuya has feathers!!? ✨)

Wait, wait, wait, No- dont spoil anything..! (maybe just a little yes or no- that wouldn't really spoil anything—) I will find out as I read—!

I mainly wanted to say I'm really looking forward to reading this!!

It's my first BSD AU where it follows the main time-line - just differently- as well! A thing I really like!!

Well, if it really does ofc, but It sure does look like it—Arg, I gotta just continue reading soon——

Even if it don't this seems really interesting already!!!

Ahem, anyhow, this became a bit long- I wanted to expres my excitement about this-especially after, you even looked at some of my BSD stuff after I followed you!!!!

Thank you soo much!✨ That became the last push to write this little too long text, that isn't really a question, but more like a thank you-ahh im excited for this-- that I had already considered writing to you after I started reading😅😅👍

This entire post just made my day and while I could I'd rather not risk dying from lightheadedness from spinning too fast in excitement in my spinny chair XDDDDD THANK YOU SO MUCH

I can't express how embarrassed I am just fshfhsgshgsghshg I have been CRAZY for wings for AGES now, and I just saw soooo many posts about how "what if Chuuya could fly Dazai" I thought, fuckers, I can make that REALITY And it is going to follow the main timeline of the show just...alot differently but at the same time trying really hard to stick to the normal plot In hindsight that means I must suffer with all my energy to watch the first season of bsd (When I first watched BSD, the first episodes were for setup, and rightfully so. That all made sense, it really put the characters together. But I watched it a second time and it dragged ON and ON and I COULDN'T STAND IT UNTIL CHUUYA CAME TO GRAB DAZAI gARgHHrhgh). I must admit I'm confused on the "Soukoku reunion where Chuuya has feathers" bit though 🤔 And currently during the plot I'm writing I have to improvise ALOT from what I know, and really this fic is also whatever the fuck I wanna write with whatever writing style I have on hand slapped into each 1K chapter so I'm really trying here LOL Also the fact when [undisclosed plot device] will be introduced, I'll be writing seperate smut for [undisclosed plot device] because I can then do WHATEVER I want wITHOUT any repercussions Hopefully I can add in [undisclosed plot device] just in a way that people will understand. Though I hear that Beast Dazai also came across [undisclosed plot device] at one point :D

I'm going SO offtopic here LMFAO And seriously? Really??? I'm surprised! I'm sure theres alot of fics that go by the timeline, I especially have run into cough ones which I liked which are specifically smut related..... and I go back to off topic I'm sorry LMAO But I'm sosoosososo glad you like it! It just means alot to me you wrote alot and now I'm just ranting because you've shown genuine interest without going off the rails (as far as I've seen) so this is pretty cool for me too!!! And I do usually look to peoples accounts who follow me (especially those who find interest in a SURPRISING amount of my stuff XD) so yeah, that's why and I found some GOOD stuff on your account too, so that's REALLY awesome. Talk to me any time! Dm me, reblog and talk to me that way, use replies, whatever the fuck! I love talking to people, and this was genuinely fun to write. :]

[amarayys]

drdt spoilers

ahem so i was meant to be working on a proper analysis of episode 13 but i got the urge to rant about teruko so yeah take this shit TERUKO. TERUKO TERUKO TERUKO. i love you my beloved they could never make me hate you!!!!! you deserve the world and also ur my favourite thing ever. i love you so so so so much AUHAFH ur character is SO unique, ur arc is SO good, thank you for exsisting. also i need the flustered teruko sprite to be used more please please PLEASE ep 12+13 thoughts on her: DUDE. ARE WE ALL JUST GONNA IGNORE EPISODE 12?? she called herself an idiot and stupid several times DONT DO THIS TO ME TERUKO. you deserve everything and youre not stupid and youre amazing and and and yeah xander is a VERY touchy subject for her, clearly teruko defending levi was lowkey kind of sad, shewere very obviously projecting her feelings on how she were suspected in chp 1 😞 the fact that we got more teruko handwriting is the world to me. also, teruko drawing!!?!?!??!?! (sort of) why do you (and whit lmao) know so much about murder related things. specifically hanging. like fym you didnt know what a TREADMILL was but you can somehow come up with a pulley system method used to snap somebodies neck and then hang them without them hitting the floor. i love you for it but GIRL ITS SO SUSPICIOUS. TW FOR HANGING/SU/CIDE MENTION its sort of implied that youve tried to hang yourself (i feel so bad wtf) so maybe that?

TW OVER also spinny thing is arguably the correct name for a carousel. end of story. anyway ill make the analysis on the episode later shshhh!H!!! i have priorities (teruko) okay???? /lh

[sh4tt3rg1rl]

yeah

*spins away on spinny chair*

…

*spins back in*

But that really does beg the question, doesn’t it-

(And now for a peek into how Elsie rants happen in my head)

Which one is which? Sun could work as Luna, being the less rules-bound of the two, the less satisfied with her role. But it’s in a much different context, isn’t it? Luna wanted people to notice her, so does sun.

Does Dusk work as celestia, then? Possibly, specifically the “beloved by all” part that Luna wanted so much. And I could see her singing “lullaby for a princess” easily, should she ever have to seal Sun away for some reason.

But then, the reverse makes more aesthetic sense, right?

Sun as a role-burdened and years-weary celestia, Dusk as a luna dissatisfied with her place. Why would sun seal “Luna” away? Because of the Dawn incident, or the abstraction, or just out of…general concern and feeling like her sister doesn’t deserve the recent horrors. Trying to give her rest for a while while sun figures out the whole goddess thing alone. Or maybe she just wants to be the goddess, to try and earn that love without someone in her way. But it makes most sense to me for it to be a combination of those things.

The only reasons I can think of for Dusk sealing Sun away would be rather

to protect her

to protect people FROM her

I can definitely see it being a combination of the two

...and now I want to draw pony dusk and sun

[spinnysocks]

i love being genderqueer. i love being gender neutral, i love being a man, i love being a woman. i'm all and i'm none & i'm beautiful and i'm handsome. and it's awesome :)

[hey-op-just-kill-me]

Hey Ollie!

As my resident supernatural mutual I would like to ask what this post means since I decided to do the spinny wheel despite having no clue what the implications of my results even would be. I got Mary so what does this mean for who I'm kissing?? is this good/bad/neutral?? I must know your thoughts.

Also also how's the dead boy detectives going? 👀 (genuinely no pressure, my love, just curious)

Okay that's all bye bye <3

Okay sooooo… first off before I rant haven’t gotten far in the show (haven’t had time) but so far I like it (and apparently my mom watched it???? Because I was watching it and she gave me a whole fucking run down of the characters and why she was waiting for more episodes) but yeah this sadly isn’t a sit down and watch in one sitting show simply because I don’t have the time but god damn do I wish I had the time because I want to keep watching this!!!

as declared by Zachariah (an angel who’s kinda a major dick) she’s a milf. She was also a badass hunter who was raised in a family of hunters but somewhere in the middle of the series they decided to take ‘dead mom as motivation for why Sam and Dean do what they do’ and just fucking bring her back to life for male motivation. (Long tangent I’ll go on later but fuck the tv/film industry for using females only to further the male plot I went on a whole rant in my production class and actually accused my professor of being misogynistic… we did not like each other very much) so before her death really cool bad ass I’d love to meet and would probably lowkey be intimidated by. Post death/ realivement she is a manipulative bitch who puts her sons into several awful situations because she thinks she knows what she’s doing and fucking doesn’t and her and Dean have this whole argument (several times tbh) where Mary isn’t just their mom she’s also a hunter (# tried to be girlpower) and tells Dean he’s not a child and Dean tells her he was never was because he had to be a single parent to his little brother. Will supply more of you need but this was probably more information than you were looking for lmaoo

badass first Mary before she met John (Sam and Dean’s dad) and she was being raised as a hunter by her father Samuel Campbell

Rebirth Mary where she is a decent hunter and a subpar human (also gets brainwashed somewhere along these seasons but not THAT important (it’s vital you know how much I hate this Mary as much as I hate John Winchester))

And third Mary from the spin off show the Winchesters that I did not personally watch but is in a parallel universe to the two Mary’s from above and deals with aliens or some shit idrk Jensen got bored.

[vigilantdesert]

Potentially spicy fandom rant incoming

I'm answering an ask to avoid actual things I should be doing (mostly unrelated but it is what sparked it) and I think I should reiterate that there have been ten thousand years since the first calamity as of AoC. If you decide to include previous games, which I do, there has been even longer between BoTW and Ocarina of Time (I believe about 12000 years but that's pure headcanon/speculation). Regardless, that is an unfathomable, absurd amount of time between points in human history. Even when you consider that Hylians seem to have a longer lifespan, that is, at minimum, 200 generations of people. Gerudo live shorter lives, so it's probably closer to 400 for them. I know expecting any degree of cultural accuracy from the spinny sword game is silly, but what I'm saying is thus: it's completely reasonable that religions have changed, yes even if they're absolutely true and demonstrably real. Ten thousand years ago in our modern understanding of the world, we were still in a pre-pottery neolithic age! Agriculture was still catching on in much of the world! The pyramids of Giza would not be built for another five to six thousand years!

I can understand being irked that the Gerudo have Hylia present in their day-to-day lives, but I'll point this out: They have one of the few undecorated Goddess statues in the game. Only one person is ever seen near her, someone who spent most of her life in Hyrule and enjoys reminiscing next to it. The Gerudo economy that we see is enormously influenced by trading, and thus it would behoove them to be tolerant of other cultures. We see other Gerudo have shrines to ancestors and other dieities in their houses - most notably in the palace, but also in the inn and the jewellery shop. The Gerudo, by and large, do not hold Hylia in any particular regard aside from "powerful entity we have to endure on occasion," which is how they approach most deities.

I can understand if you grew up on Ocarina being disappointed that they do not hold the deity represented by the desert colossus in high regard anymore, but I really, truly do not think that means that they have been colonized. Countries wax and wane in terms of being allies and enemies, even next-door neighbors with long histories of animosity. For 800 years of their existence England and France were at each others' throats, and yet here we are.

As always, everyone is entitled to their own headcanons, but this one just. Enghhhhh Sorry I had to get it off my chest. Thanks everyone for listening to Marie's random nano rant lksjdf

[crazy56u]

And so Kevin has ruined dinner. 👏

Ben is having a breakout right now, smooth one, Kevin.

“Ben, what the fuck, you’ve been here for like two hours!”

Ben is playing with fire right now by hugging another man’s wife.

MORAL OF THE STORY: The Slow Path is real and horrible and makes time travel love stories a bitch and a half to deal with.

“Don’t tell me there are more Nazis in New Jersey…” I was about to make a Blues Brothers joke, but then I remembered that was Chicago.

Addison, I swear to God, to quote Radiohead, you do it to yourself, and that’s what really hurts.

Meanwhile, Kevin and Josh have been screaming this whole time.

Kevin is about to blind someone, I swear to fucking God.

Hannah has her priorities in check, clearly…

Hannah has invented the Spinny Thing.

“Do you think it’s possible to love two people at the same time?” Ben is about to discover polyamory.

“You have a child, your heart expands, it then explodes, it’s a real bad thing.”

Oh fuck, Hannah’s family has been sitting on a gold mine of teddy bear smugglers.

“Why take loose diamonds?” Why ask stupid questions?

Oh goody, Ben just caused the ending of Red Dead Redemption.

Okay, Kevin, crash course time: Ghosts are real, Hannah knows more than you, and you’re all about to experience Red Dead Redemption.

…or this turns into Home Alone, that works too.

“Look, honey, you don’t want to know how I really know Nick, just go hide upstairs while we do Home Alone.”

Okay, now this is turning into the laundromat scene from Breaking Bad, Quantum Leap is a versatile show.

At least Kevin is aware of how much of an idiot he is.

Calling it: Kevin is going to intentionally get himself shocked in order to help take out the others.

Kevin, you need to work on your tight five the next time you want to rant about encyclopedias.

I am surprised she didn’t just shoot him then and there.

“At least the Accelerator has a sense of humor.”

Ben, if the next Hannah leap involves the two of you in a house fire, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Selling weapons to dictators =/= stuffing blood diamonds into teddy bears.

DANGER, DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE! WHEN WE TOUCH! WHEN WE KISS!

Welcome to the Royal Rumble!

And Red Ryder saves the fucking day!

Kevin, Ben’s patience is running thin, and the episode is almost over, quit while you’re ahead.

“Awkward sibling hug. …pat pat.”

“Thank you for everything; you may have flooded my basement and endangered my family, but you saved my brother, and my wife likes you, so it all hashes even.”

“I could use a happy ending about now.” Annnd mentally setting an egg timer right now…

“…Josh does in 18 months.” Annnd there’s the egg timer.

“I have to tell Hannah about Josh’s aneurysm- GODDAMNIT, FUCK YOU LEAP EFFECT!”

Meanwhile back in 2026, we get more relationship bullshit…

Ben is just batting a fucking thousand today.

[So yeah, Ben can’t save Hannah’s husband, and Addison is now moving on to Tom full stop; fuck it, give him a treasure hunt in 1953 to chew on.]

Okay, this episode was a fucking beauty, and if NBC doesn’t renew the show, honestly, fuck them.

Season 3 needs to happen.

[devilsrecreation]

Random Outlander Interaction Headcanons pt 2

Kiburi and Mzingo:

I can see them being fist-bump buddies, with the two of them thinking they’re the only actual normal ones in the Outlands lmao. They just sit back looking at everyone’s antics like “You gotta deal with this shit too?”

“All the time.”

I like to imagine while Janja and Reirei are arguing, Kiburi just gestures to Mzingo like “Ask him. He’s smarter than the both of you combined” or smth along those lines. Mzingo appreciates it

Cheezi and Njano:

Omg derpy tongue bois. Although Cheezi was a bit creeped out by the skinks at first, I can picture him being the first one to actually befriend one of them and that being Njano. It literally started with a “Wait a minute…you look just like me! :D” “Huh, thought I was the only one!” and boom-friendship.

I mentioned this to Spinny before, but Njano is a horrible influence on Cheezi lmao. He’ll dare Cheezi to do something or make a lighthearted joke and next thing you know, Cheezi started a damn fire 😭 Silly little gremlins

Sumu and Chungu:

So I hc that Sumu somehow finds himself hanging out with/befriending the Idiots after a rescue mission and I firmly believe Chungu is the reason for that. He’s the first of the Idiots to invite Sumu to hang with them in the first place and the first one to call him a friend. He also makes sweet remarks about how smart Sumu is and Sumu, while a bit awkward due to all the kindness, regards him as a good friend

Nne and Mwoga:

Nne doesn’t really deal with idiocy, but Mwoga would definitely be the exception for two reasons: 1. He’s not REALLY stupid (a little ditzy but he still has a brain) and 2. He helped raise him so he definitely respects him. Mwoga tends to be somewhat of a mediator between Nne and Tano and Chungu and Cheezi, usually reminding Nne that they mean well and to be a bit nicer to them

Tamka and Tano:

You know, when Neema told Tano how much of an idiot Tamka was, he thought he was exaggerating….until he and Nne actually met him in my Neema-centered episode idea and oh my stars he’s as dumb as Chungu is, if not stupider. I imagine he gets cocky with him, saying stuff like “You should know that, mate”

And then Tamka’s wondering why this hyena thinks of him as his mate 😭

Mwoga and Janja:

I like to think Mwoga is almost as close as he is with Janja as Mzingo is. He was a bit confused why he was suddenly a surrogate to a hyena but he loved and accepted him all the same. Mwoga reads right through Janja when he’s talking about how annoying Chungu and Cheezi have been. Janja may be ranting, but Mwoga knows just how much he loves them and tells the others as such

Kiburi and Tano:

Interesting…I think they’d be cool with each other. Kiburi’s lowkey impressed with Tano’s knowledge about other animals and would definitely approve of him and Neema’s friendship. Although he wasn’t above threatening them when wanting to know where Neema went off to.

They also roll their eyes at Tamka’s stupidity like

“Is he always like this?”

“Yup.”

Dogo and Chungu:

I feel like Chungu was the first to warm up to Dogo when the hyenas and jackals became allies. Dogo just had to say “sorry” while giving the yeens his signature puppy eyes and Chungu was like “Why do we hate him again?”.

Janja: Cuz he tried stealin’ our food, furbrain

Chungu: Oh yeah!

Dogo: Don’t worry, I promise I’m ashamed :3

Chungu: Dawwww! We forgive you!

Reirei and Nduli:

Reirei thinks Nduli is a real sweetheart. He likes to compliment her and even admires her parenting skills. Maybe she (and Goigoi) gives him parenting advice that he uses when he has kids of his own. This is part of the reason why he’s so overbearing to his kids lol

Sumu and Nduli:

Sumu had no idea a crocodile could be such a sweetheart but he now feels like he has an obligation to protect his innocence. Nduli’s basically the equivalent to Winnie the Pooh in his eyes so he tends to show his soft side to him (Sumu doesn’t do that unless he’s with his mother so that's a huge plus). No matter what idea Nduli has, Sumu agrees cuz he literally can’t say no to him.

Meanwhile Nduli likes hearing about all the scorpion facts. He finds them fascinating.

Kijana and Tamka:

You know how the adult is supposed to babysit the child? Yeah, it’s the exact opposite with these two. Because Kijana takes more after her mother, she’s pretty much the brains to Tamka’s brawn and often keeps a close eye on him to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself. I feel like they’d make a lighthearted joke where Kijana goes “alright that’s enough fun for today, time for us to go home” and Tamka (and Nduli) are like “awww, five more minutes!”

Also Tamka seeing what Goigoi means when he says that his kids are just like Reirei lol

Wema and Kiburi:

Awwwwwwww! A baby and a fully grown crocodile, what can go wrong?/j

Nah, Kiburi would warm up to her. She’s not as annoying as most of the other hyenas and actually likes how sweet she is. Plus he has to admit, she’s adorable when she’s trying to act as brave as a crocodile. Wema thinks he’s cool and she loves hearing his stories (I didn’t forget about Storytime with Kiburi)

Cheezi and Chungu (what are the odds I get the Spongebob and Patrick of the Outlands):

Omg can I say about their friendship that isn’t already canon? Ooh, I know! I’ll say how they met!

Chungu and Cheezi met when they were wee little cubs! Baby Chungu was wandering around while his parents were sleeping (permanently but he didn’t know that) and just so happened to bump into little Cheezi, who was playing a game that was a mixture of hide-and-seek and tag. They introduced themselves, Cheezi invited him to play and they started talking and laughing until little Janja found them (they were being loud lmao). Cheezi introduced Chungu, and the rest is history

Nne and Tamka:

First Tano now Nne fjfhhrh. I figure it’s very similar to Tano’s interactions, only Nne keeps making passive-aggressive insults only to “fix” them when Tamka asks what he’s talking about

Tamka: Didja hear that?! Neema called me an idiot!

Nne: He’s right

Tamka: What’d you say?

Nne: I said “don’t fight”

Tamka: Oh :)

Kenge and Chungu:

Chungu’s still scared of Kenge cuz of his temperament, but that doesn’t stop him from accidentally saying the word “little” around him (Janja and Cheezi do it too). However, he HAS had some “friendlier” interactions with him, like talking to him about his feelings toward Aibu and Kenge making him realize said feelings are romantic. He also isn’t above listening to Kenge’s ranting and even gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder once. Kenge doesn’t call Chungu a friend until he fully reforms but he…appreciates Chungu’s support

For the ask game, 19, 20, and 22?

whumper-dumps ask game

19. Opinion on all hurt no comfort?

20. Opinion on little hurt all comfort?

22. Most controversial whump opinion?

I've answered 19 here so I'll do the other two. Thanks so much for the ask, Tris! Appreciate it ^^

20. Opinion on little hurt all comfort?

Hmm... I'd say it depends. If the little hurt includes something like referring to a major traumatic event like an abusive episode or a torture event or soft things like sickfics, then yes. Y. E. S. I'm all for it. Gimme the feels and the comfort to go along with it. But if it's something like Character A got a bullet graze or had a little wittle panic moment, then... meh. Mid.

I want strong emotions. I read fanfiction for strong emotions. My brains needs to be constantly stimulated by strong emotions in order for me to live through another day without wanting to tear someone to shreds just because they chew a little too loudly. (Side note: I read somewhere that it's because of trauma that your brain is constantly stimulated and stuff, so... yeah idk what to say about that).

But when there's that underline of angst? *Claps hands and tears up, swiveling in my spinny chair* I love it.

If it's done right, then I like it even more than hurt no comfort.

22. Most controversial whump opinion?

I love talking about controversial topics.

To myself.

Or to someone who I know will agree with me.

It's not because I'm prejudiced, it's because I can't handle confrontations. But! I'm going to... try and share something because I did not think there would be controversy amongst the whump community, but I'm not surprised that there is.

Okay, after doing some research... I'm still at a blank.

Though I did come across some interesting notions between whump lovers and non whump lovers.

Some people think it's sick to torture a character with stuff like abuse and rape and everything. (Which just makes me question: It's okay if the torture seems unrealistic like an alien beam blast, but not what humans do every day like hit their kids? But anywayyyy.) Uh, well, there are a lot of reasons people do that. One article which I read on whump (can't believe there are actual articles about this, it's just so normal to me), said that a Tumblr blog said that whump is born out of love for the characters. You can do your own research on that one, cuz it'll take too long to explain.

For me, that's actually true. I love reading hurt tim drake fics because... well, im not completely sure. It's not because I get endorphins while seeing him in pain (except when I'm writing 🤭), it's also that I... like seeing him push through and react to the whump. I like how different authors have different ideas of how he would behave in not-so-ideal situations. I like how there are different ideas on which situations he would find himself in.

But most of all, I like seeing him in situations where he can get out. Where he can escape that situation. Where I cannot. The same goes with writing, I like imagining up whump situations because I can imagine that character also making it out.

There are so many reasons. Some of which are I like seeing Tim get the love and care after the whump sometimes because he deserves it, I like seeing Tim react to his situation with bravery because he's someone who is brave, I like seeing Tim be helpless in situations then have someone help him. It all resonates within me and I like it.

As for situations where I haven't been in, I like seeing him in those situations because I love his character. I love the way he reacts to environments because all the comics and other media are literally about him reacting to situations. Fanfiction is the same thing, except they're different situations with different people who have different ideas.

There's so much difference in the world, and I love seeing it.

The different which I don't like or don't agree with, I click out. It's as simple as that. I click out and either rant about it to myself while pacing my bedroom or write a counter fic and use moments which I didn't like in that fic and recreate it to what I like. But I'm not rude to the author of that idea, because... people are different! Ideas are different! Difference exists!

So, I think on the topic where people think some whump in general is bad and sadistic and gruesome, I think they're different too. They have their reasons, we have ours. Difference exists. And I've grown to live with it. So should you.

That was long, I was expecting some length, but not... this much. I love ranting. I don't get to rant much without being criticized, so this was great because I've never ranted about whump before except to myself. Thank you so much for the ask, Tristi! Enjoy discerning this mess! /lh

i think i'm realising my gender is definitely fluid, but in like. an obscure xenogender kinda way. i don't even really know, the only way i can understand it is when i really love certain pronouns & terms and really despise others, even if they're usually my preferred. it shifts. does this make sense. does anyone else feel like this

funny thing is, it's like i've always known. when i first started experimenting with gender labels, genderfluid was one of the first i identified with. cue about 3 years of strictly prohibiting any fem terms after i realised i literally never wanted she/her used for me lmao. i was quick to realise genderfluid didn't really describe my experience, at least not in the same way genderfluid people i saw around me were describing their experience.

the discovery of genderqueer and especially xenogenders really helped to describe me. not all at the same time necessarily, but collectively they're all me, even if not all constant. i don't think i could pin down a specific gender at any point. as i said, the easiest way i can understand it is through pronouns and such!

gender's been such a struggle, and i'm sure i have even more to discover in my own personal journey, but i feel proud. it's like i've returned to my original "coming out" if i could describe it that way. i'm a very different person now to who i was when i first experimented, but i'm proud of the person i was as the person i am now. i was never wrong about my gender really, i just have found so many wonderful ways to describe it better than back then. i'm really really proud :)

more of a personal post i wouldn't usually make but. this is big for me. gender is weird and wack but cool and great

also if anyone knows any genderfluid/-fluid identities that could describe this experience could you please let me know!! even if they don't fit i love learning. feel free to tag me or link me smth or even thru anon asks :)
