[scimitar-and-longsword]

I'm almost done reading A Day of Fallen Night and all I have to say is I love lesbians a disaster bisexual man.

(Spoilers...)

Thrit just kissed Wulf and then Esbar and Tunuva were just reunited! So I'm just 🙈🙈🙈

[rat-rambles]

I'm gona explain to yall why I think Stanley is the one that's ace aro in cannon and not Ford or Bill. (Yes all head cannons are vaild blah blah I love acearo people I am one don't kill me)

So basically it comes down to if stan wanted some he could. Young stan seems to be considered relatively conventional attractive (not like ugly men don't mange to hook up but still) and even as a "ugly" old man he is the hottest old person in town befor Ford shows up and. Once he gets over his social awkwardness he is actually able to date he just isn't about that life. "What about Stanley's ex wife's" I hear you scream at your screens well thanks to Bill I have notes.

Thank you bill now could be lieing yes but frankly I don't think his god Alex would let that happen for something like this. Especially becuse it's way funnier if it's all cannon. Now I think 2 of them can be considered legitimate and there not exactly romantic are they. Stanley is well known to care more about money than any romantic relationship witch dosnt sound like some one who's not aro to me. I'll give that there are a couple jokes pokeing wholes in my theroy however personaly any atemps at straightness by stan just feel very performative to me. Like there's something a whole easy to about how stans masculinity is just a reaction to incurity but all I'll say for now is stan is despite to prove he's not a failure and part of growing up in the 80s and not being a failure is geting bitches. And yet he can't comit to a relationship for more than a few days and it's not for commitment isues bitch comited to a fucking portal for 30 years AFTER NEARLY FAILING HIGHSCHOOL. As I said if he wanted to he would.

Now I'm going to go on a long rant about Bill and Ford so if you don't want that stop now

Ok for the record staring off bill and ford are both unreliable narrators.

Ford (my first victim)

We've seen him get rejected twice in the show when he trying to flirt with girls the more famous one being when he gets punch thrown on him. Ford is a very scentive guy he can't handle rejection obvouly he's gona wax poetic about how it's not that he can't get any he's just you know so very busy. Funny how he's not busy when Bill comes into his life or fiddleford for that matter it's almost like that's not the problem

Now I can see how you can read this qa acearo core but all I hear is the autism talking. There is something intently funny to me about the idea that he stright up was dating a male sided demon and is like but am I gay. It's very conservative up bring of him very relatable. But seriously if he was ace aro he'd just lean into being superior not what ever this is.

Bill ( he wouldn't escape me)

Same thing yeah he wax poetic about chemicals witch yeah is something ace aros do but also like incels.

He literally is just asking dear not to ask him out a real problem when every freak reading this book wants to make out with him sorry Bill your hot shit.

The book is shaking you by the shoulders begging you to tell that he's lieing for clout. Bill is also begging you to take him seriously and he can't be serious if he can't even get any becuse he's a unlikeable losser.

Like I'm sorry guys the text just dosnt suport these 2 being acearo this is not the show for ace aro rep I'm sorry. This show is actually really really really obsessed with romantic relationships it's a well Alex keeps going back to witch is why I'm so sure about stanly becuse he's like the one character who actively rejects dating instead of just saying he's into into it. ITS GRAVITY FALLS EVERYONES A FUCKING LIAR.

[thearoaceshark]

"But aro/ace people still can date" THAT IS NOT A VALID EXCUSE, MUCH LESS IF THE CHARACTER SHOWS REPULSION TOWARDS THAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIPS.

"But the creator said we could ship him with whoever we wanted, it won't be canon anyway" OF COURSE SHE DOESN'T BOTHER THAT YOU SHIP HIM BECAUSE 1: IT BENEFITS HER BECAUSE IT ATTRACTS SHIPS FANS. AND 2: SHE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY.

"We have not deleted the representation, it is still there, it is canon in the show. We just want to have fun, the things the fandom does do not have to be faithful to the canon and do not affect the canon" SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN. IN THE FANDOM THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM THE AROACE SPECTRUM AND IT ANNOYS US THAT WE CAN'T ENJOY A CHARACTER THAT REPRESENTS US JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN ENJOY THE CHARACTERS WITHOUT SHIPING THEM. ALSO IF YOU CAN'T WRITE CHARACTERS OR RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE NOT ROMANTIC/SEXUAL OR THAT ARE NOT FAITHFUL TO THE CANON THEN LET ME TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE A VERY CLOSED MIND AND YOU'RE LACK OF IMAGINATION. THERE ARE ALSO MANY CHARACTERS THAT ARE NOT AROACE THAT YOU CAN SHIP, WHY DO YOU CHOOSE THE ONE WHO IS AROACE?!! US AROACE PEOPLA ALSO WANT TO HAVE FUN, WE ARE ALSO IN THE FANDOM, AND WE ENTERED THE FANDOM EXPECTING TO SEE THAT THEY RESPECT THE ORIENTATION OF THE CHARACTER AND REFLECT OUR OWN EXPERIENCES IN HIM, BUT WE FIND OUT THAT THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT, AND WE FEEL BAD WHEN SEEING THAT YK. IT'S THE SAME SHIT AS MAKING A GAY CHARACTER STRIGHT.

"I'm dating someone who is ace/I'm on the aroace spectrum/I'm ace/my partner is on the aroace spectrum and in my opinion there's nothing wrong with shipping him" ...REALLY? JUST. REALLY?! LOOK AT ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME YOU'RE NOT A TROLL, BECAUSE SERIOUSLY. FOR THE ARO/ACE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THESE COMMENTS LET ME TELL YOU THAT YOU LOOK LIKE THOSE HOMOPHOBIC GAY WHO INSULT THEIR OWN COMMUNITY FOR THE APPROVAL OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE.

"If they want representation so much, why don't they make their own content and their own shows with Aroace characters?" ...YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS EITHER. YOU ARE A TROLL, RIGHT? AND IF YOU'RE SERIOUS... DO YOU THINK IT'S THAT EASY TO MAKE CONTENT (BOOK/COMIC/TV SHOW/MOVIE/ETC)???

Edit:

OH AND I FORGOT THE WORST ONE, SORRY.

"Aro/ace people can also want and be in a romantic/sexual relationship, you are erasing people from your own community just because you don't want us to ship it" ...FIRST OF ALL DO YOU THINK AROACE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THOSE RELATIONSHIPS FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH YOU USING THEM AS A CHEAP EXCUSE? YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE, YOU JUST CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN SHIP, STOP USING THEM AS AN EXCUSE. AND SECOND, I THINK YOU HAVE A VERY ALTERED PERCEPTION OF REALITY, BECAUSE THE ONE WHO IS ERASING AND DISRESPECTING THE AROACE COMMUNITY IS NOT US, IT IS YOU DAMN IT.

End of the edit.

PEOPLE ON THE SPECTRUM GET VERY EXCITED WHEN WE SEE A CHARACTER THAT REPRESENTS US, AND I THINK WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO GET ANGRY IF WHEN WE ENTER THE FANDOM WE FIND THAT PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE ORIENTATION OF THE CHARACTER AND SHIP HIM, AND TO GET WORSE THEY GIVE US SO BAD EXCUSES OF WHY WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS PERFECTLY FINE. LOOK, DON'T YOU THINK THAT IF AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THOSE SHIPS THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG? NO? HAVE YOU NOT THOUGHT ABOUT IT? THEN YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR HEAD TO SEE IF YOU REALLY HAVE A BRAIN!!! IT'S SEEMS YOU HAVE IT OFF BECAUSE IT IS NOT WORKING.

AND YES I'M TALKING ABOUT HAZBIN HOTEL AND ALASTOR BUT THIS ALSO HAPPENS WITH MANY OTHER AROACE CHARACTERS (UNFORTUNATELY). AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING. DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THAT REPRESENTATION HAS TO BE JUST THE CANON OF THE SHOW? DON'T YOU THINK THAT AS A FANDOM YOU SHOULD MAKE THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE IN THE FANDOM FEEL COMFORTABLE BY RESPECTING THEIR ORIENTATION AND MAKING FANFIC AND FANARTS ETC THAT REPRESENT THE CHARACTER AND HIS IDENTITY?

(AND THOSE OTHER CHARACTERS I MENTIONED ARE NOT CANONICALLY AROACE, BUT THEY ARE EVIDENTLY CHARACTERIZED AS SUCH, BUT THE FANDOM MAKES THE EXCUSE THAT "THEIR ORIENTATION IS STILL NOT CANON" TO SHIP THEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS EVIDENT THAT THEY ARE AROACE AND THEY REPUDIATE SEX AND LOVE. AND NOW THAT WE HAVE A CHARACTER CHARACTERIZED AS AROACE WHO IS CANONICALLY AROACE AND SHOWS REPUDION TOWARDS SEX, THEY CONTINUE LOOKING FOR EXCUSES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?! IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO RESPECT THE AROACE COMMUNITY??? )

[glassracoon]

The Wednesday novelfication has sparked so many new ideas. Also, what do y'all know about Tehlor Kay Mejia?! Strights didn't stand a chance in that book tbh

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

Stephanie Garber is genuinely iconic because for too long we've been watering down our enemies to lovers male leads trying to make them palatable whereas she's gone stright in there with The Worst Man Possible. I have to respect it. Every three pages I have to put the book down and get angry. No punches being pulled.

Tease

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ

Ellie is usually in charge in the bedroom but today you decide to spice things up...

c/w: SMUT 18+, MDNI, tease (e!receiving), bondage (e!receiving), forced sub!ellie, switch!reader, fingering (r!receiving)

authors note: we'll see if i end up posting this idk yet, ignore any mistakes!

song for this book:

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *

"babeeeee" you yell from the bedroom, waiting for ellie to come in from the kitchen. you hear light footsteps heading to your shared bedroom

"what is it ba-" ellie stops in her tracks looking up at you. you are in a black lingerie peice that she had bought for you a few weeks ago. she eyes you up and down as you take slow steps towards her. your heels clinking against the hardwood floor. once you reach her you wrap your arms around her neck pulling her close to your body. she wraps her arms around your lower back giving your ass a quick squeeze

"fuck baby is this all for me?" she asked with a slight smirk on her face. you give her a quick 'mhm' while pulling her in for a kiss. the kiss quickly gets heated as you start to guide her to a chair you had strategically placed in the room. you pull back for a second, giving her a solf smlie then aggressively pushing her into the chair by the shoulders. she looks up at you with a confused face, usually you would be the one getting pushed around by her.

"i wanted to try something different, is that okay els" you say leaning down to be eye level with her, pushing your tits in her face. she looked like she was stuck in a trance with your tits in her face but eventually gave you a small nod.

"good" you stand back up stright and walk over to you speaker playing cherry hill by russ (start song). you strut back over to her sensually, making sure to sway your hips to the beat. shes watching you like a hawk, not blinking afraid she'll miss something. you walk so that you are standing behind her, running your hands over her chest and arms. she spreads her legs a little and sits farther back into her seat. you grab her hair lightly pulling her hair to the side, allowing access to her neck. you ghost over it letting your hot breath hit her pulse point. you bend down more so now you are almost on your knees behind her. you quickly grab her hands together and cuff them up. she immediately tugs at them wondering what just restraned her.

"babe what the fuck" she exclaims, you walk around in front of her, giving her a sly smirk. you watch as she struggles with the cuffs trying to get free. she looks up at you dead in the eye and speaks lowly

"y/n take these off me right now." you could cum just at the sound of her voice, but instead you walk closer to her face, grabbing her chin to make her look at you.

"mmm i dont think i will" you give her the sweetest smile you could muster and you start to sway your hips in her face, running your hands all over your body and in your hair. moving to the beat you get on her lap, tossing all of your hair to one side and throwing your arms around her neck. you circle your hips on her lap, feeling all over her body. she looks at you with dazed eyes, in awe of how your body is moving on top of her. she tries to buck her hips to get more friction but you hold her hips down not allowing her to move

"y/n take these off me, i can make you feel so good" she says trying to keep her composer. you grip her chin hard and pull her face just inches from yours

"are you going to be good?" you ask quietly. she tries to keep her hard persona but you could tell she was cracking. she slowly nods as best she can with the grip you have on her

"y/n i swear to god if you dont stop teasing right now." you can hear the desperation in her voice. you look up at her with puppy eyes to see her looking down at you with her jaw clenched and eyes low. you pull down her boxers just to see how wet she is, you groan slightly at the sight. you stick your fingers out to scoop up all of her wetness. she moans slightly at the feeling of your slim fingers toying with her clit. you take your time circling her clit, looking up at her to see her reaction. her head is thrown back and you have a clear view of her neck. you stand up so you can reach her neck. sucking on it lightly and giving it small kisses. you slip your fingers in her curling right to her spot. she lets out a loud moan and her body jerks foward

"good" you get off her lap and kneel in front of her, spreading her knees just enough that you can slot yourself in between them. you run your hands everything on her body, creeping up from her thighs to her toned abs under her shirt all the way up to her tits. you pull her shirt up just enough that your trimmed nails can scratch her v-line making her shiver under your touch. you were loving this, the way she was looking down at you not wanting to let you know how much she was enjoying this, but you could tell by the way she was squirming. you start pressing light kisses on her stomach and v-line. you could feel her stomach everytime you would leave a kiss or breath hot air onto her. you pull down her shorts leaving her in her compression shirt and boxers. you trace your fingers over her boxers and core but not quite touching her. you hear her let out a strained breath through her nose.

"fuck baby just like that" you continue to pump in and out of her at a steady pace, her moans get more high pitched and she starts rocking on your hand.

"fuck 'm gonna cum, dont stop, fuck" she moans out. immediately you stop, pulling your fingers out of her, and oh, does she look mad as ever. in a blink of an eye, she broke free from the cuffs, bolting up from the chair and pushing you backward on the bed. she aggressively pulls off your panties and shoves three fingers into you. your back arches off the bed so far it makes a perfect C shape. she pounds into you at an inhumane pace, curling her fingers to hit your spot perfectly. your moans get louder and more whinny.

"el-lie, 'ts to much" you whine gripping onto her arms

"maybe think twice about teasing me like that, huh baby? you can take it" she groans at the sounds of your pussy. you can feel your climax approaching but it washes over you to fast for you to be able to warn her. your whole body spasms and then stops as your eyes go white. after a few seconds you shudder letting your back hit the mattress. her fingers slow down but are still pumping inside of you. you try to push her hand away, getting to overestimated. she eventually stops and flops down next to you. you look st her with sleepy eyes. fighting your best not to fall asleep

"els, you didnt get to finish" you slur out

"dont worry about me doll, we can finish tomorrow, go to sleep" she kisses you on the forehead, pulling you into her body.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:

i dont really like this one but oh well, pt 2?

The Folk of the Air

I picked up The Cruel Prince in 2022 and gave it 2 stars and a stright to the point review stating "this was simply not for me". Well you dumb bitch, think again.

When I picked it up again in 2024, it was honestly a little concerning how little I remembered of this book. Like truly, barely anything. The reason I even gave it another shot is I was seeing so much fan art on Twitter and I was okay FINE YOU GOT ME.

Once I started again, ladies and gents, I could.not.stop. I read all three of these books in *checks notes* 4 days. FOUR. Like okay relax we get it you have no self control!!!!

I was having such a blast. The story was so easy to devour quickly. Great pacing, great characters and plot. I loved Jude, I loved Cardan, I was living for the twists! The only thing I wanted was MORE. I felt like I was constantly chasing a high of seeing Jude and Cardan interact! The little morsels we were given did not satisfy me the way I wanted.

Overall, very glad I gave this a second shot.

Hello. Just try out making a story for some awesome art I comitioned from @catragemiau. I do wanna make a full book of some kind as I have a full story for Alvis/113. Sorry for grammar problems and such

G.U.N Brake in

Al brakes sneaks into the building using his cloak tech what allows him to look like anyone.

Causing a distraction using his drones clearing the building allowing him to sneak in and puts building into lock down but not ecspecting A blue hedgehog to snoop around

Sonic gose into the building feeling like this is to distract the G.U.N soldiers as if 113 or Eggman wanted to brake in. They could

==================

Walking thru the halls of the G.U.N building.

Sonic walked thru the halls looking in the red light filled halls not finding a single soldier or anyone who work there.

Making his way further into the building and finding a unlocked armored door with formular logo appearing on the controle panels screen

"113" Sonic said under his breath

He had a feeling that it would be the Purple Fox

Sonic walked thru the hall keeping any sound at a minimum. Walking thru all the unlocked security doors as they were the only ones that he could go thru as the others are locked and he be getting nowhere

7 doors later he sees a blue glow coming out theu a open door.

Creeping his way in he sees the fox. Ears not pointed up as usual. Down slightly. At a Computer doing the stuff only Tails would understand

The poncho wearing fox ears flickered as Sonic walked in. He knows Sonic is in the room but is just ignoring him.

He been In a down mood after the mayor's party he and eggman crashed a 3 week or 3 months ago.

Sonic is dieing to know why he just froze mid fight and stared towards the mayor's wife. Its like he froze of fear or shock.

But. What did alow knuckles to give a new punch to the gut sending him into a cheap foldable table what sent snacks all over.

Sonic stood up stright but kept his distance and kept at the door knowing 113 isn't to be messed with

"113 what's eggman got you upto?"

Putting the Sonic friendly charms on

"..."

The fox just stares at the screen. Watching the download bar slowly fill. Or uploading. Something

Sonic remember that him and Tails have theory 113 might be a missing fox from 7 years ago. This is best time to test the theory.

"... Alvis?"

Sonic said not to sure if he will understand or not

The foxes ears point up and turned sharpy stearing at sonic

Not going far as his gauntlet is still plugged in.

"What?"

==================

Hi there! Hope you liked the story to the art from @catragemiau. Not aspecting any awards for my weighting haha. BUT! Like alway SUPER aweosme stuff like always from @catragemiau. You have to check all there stuff! If you need art I promise @catragemiau is the one to use!

[polis-fandom]

I'm actually gonna say it.

The heart of the Witcher story is the Found Family of Geralt-Yennefer-Ciri, so for the story to work, you have to get the dynamics and relationships between those characters right.

The Netflix show failed at every single one of them.

In the books, Geralt and Ciri meet for the first time as a total accident, when she's 11 years old and escaping Calanthe's marriage ideas to Brookilon. Geralt rescues her from some monsters, and without either knowing who they are to each other, they bond like a father and daughter, with Geralt telling her bedtime stories et all. At the end Ciri returns to Cintra, but conection between them stopped being "the destiny prophecy blablabla", it's personal now. When Cintra gets attacked by Nilfgaard, Geralt rushes there for Ciri, but he's too late, so he searches for her and destiny makes their paths cross again. When they meet second time at the farm, Ciri runs towards him, and he runs even faster towards her. The dialog that happens between them is one of the most poignant exchanges in the books:

Ciri: So it's true what they said? I'm your destiny?

Geralt: You are Something More.

This is a direct call back to something Borch the Golden Dragon said, "Destiny is not enough, you need something more" and it captures the theme of those books. Destiny is not enough, you need something more, and that something more is the will, the choice, and the active pursuit of it.

The show chose to make this scene Geralt and Ciri's first meeting, fine. But then they ruined it, by scrapping the dialogue. Instead we have Ciri asking : "Who's Yennefer?" One - this fails to establish the bond between the Geralt and Ciri, a mistake that has to be rectifyed the entire second season (and every attempt still falls flat for various reasons), and two - this puts an emphasis on the Destiny as the thing linking those three characters together, when I just pointed out that's not the theme of the books. The books are intentionaly subversions of the Chosen One and other classic fantasy tropes, meanwhile the show falls stright into the hole of them.

In the books, Geralt uses his Last Wish to bound his destiny with Yennefer, BUT! she is aware of this, she hears him making that wish, and is moved, that despite him knowing her for such short time, despite her using and manipulating him, he still chose to save her, he still chose HER. She enters the relationship with him at her own will, she consents to it. They have ups and downs, but she doesn't spend decades wondering why they keep running into each other, like she does in the show. Just for the drama, the show removed her consent and her awarness of the situation between them, and thus the entire relationship instead of just being complicated, became toxic.

And Ciri and Yennefer! In the books Ciri is aware that she's a valuable chess piece, that everyone wants to control and manipulate and use her, so she's distrustful. Yennefer, on the other hand is aware of that in Ciri, so the very first thing she does when meeting Ciri, the very first rule she establishes between the two, is total HONESTY. She promises to always tell Ciri the truth, to never manipulate her, never use her. This is the fundament of their bond.

What does the show!Yennefer do when she meets Ciri? She manipulates her and tries to use her, to sell her to the Demon, to gain back her own lost magic. A move, that she will have to "make up for to Ciri and Geralt" for an episode or two in season 3, according to the showrunner.

I really don't understand why they made all those choices, there's plenty of drama in those books, they didn't need to change those dynamics so bad.

EDIT: I came across a youtube video essay by Alien Platypus that says all this so much more clearly and well detailed, here's the link

[geronimomo-spd]

i gotta say that the Aztecs is just so funny

the entire episode the running gag is when two people are trying to be all sneaky and there is always a person in the background looking stright at them!! making it very clear that they can listen in pretty freaking easaly!! (which is already funny enough)

to the point where the doctor notices this and tells the other person to bugger of! so we know his conversation was truly not listened to!

(actually this entire episode is filled with hilerios zooms and good jokes i highley recomand! allso this is an amazing Barbara episode as well, she just gets the emotinal moments)

so when Ian is presomed dead and the Aztec captain has to tell this discreetly to Susan??? and this happen??

I LOVE THIS MOMENT SO MUCH ITS JUST SO FUNNY TO ME, 100/10

(or as my lovely friend said, @the-book-life-chose-me Ian's "quit telling everyone im dead!!" moment lol)

[ninjakk]

Hi

This is more of fanon question but what do you think of stright boy wwx, who everyone knows he’s gay but him, doesn’t know his feelings even though he’s having sex with lwj.

And lwj still does shave sex with him even though he does think wwx is stright and won’t have feelings for him.

Hi Anon,

Wow, is this really a thing!? 🤔

I think they're reading a different book 🤣

Well my honest opinion would be that whoever thinks this really does not have much of an understanding of the characters in MDZS, or the plot for that matter. Whether this is something that some truly see in the novel or something they put in fanfic, it's just bizarre.

Firstly, only a few people made assumptions with regards to WWX's feelings towards LWJ. Really it was only the juniors who noticed something between them. JC was in denial the whole time (across both WWXs lives) until he couldn't deny it any longer - and even then he tried! Personally I think WQ noticed WWX acted differently around LWJ and at some point WN picked up on something between them as well. But bar that, most people wrongly thought the pair hated each other! So that's just wrong right from the start!

WWX is extremely emotionally intelligent, he understands people very well and that includes himself as well. Yes, he lies to himself and pushes his true feelings down at times - but this is a coping mechanism. He feels so deeply, his only way to cope about certain emotions that might bring him pain, is to play them down or convince himself they are different to what they are.

WWX is just trying to protect his heart. He lies to himself about his feelings for LWJ because to him, the latter wasn't interested. Yet WWX was still drawn towards him every time they met, because LWJ is the only one he's ever truly wanted. By the time WWX and LWJ have sex, WWX is more than sure of his feelings for LWJ! In fact just before all of this, WWX is so sure of his feelings he's absolutely terrified LWJ might not feel the same way.

So I think any idea of a fanon or fanfic WWX that is as emotionally dense as 'straight boy' WWX is, is just so far from the actual character, I don't see the point in them reading the novel, being a fan or writing fic using WWXs name if this is their take on him, as it's clearly not the character MXTX created.

As for LWJ having sex with this warped version of WWX, he simply wouldn't. As much as LWJ loves WWX, he would not have meaningless sex with him just because the latter 'doesn't mind'. Just looking at the end of chapter 95 and chapter 96, where WWX thinks LWJ has only just sobered up and is upset that they had sex. This scene should be enough to show anyone that this is not in LWJs character. WWX desperately tries to salvage their relationship because he loves LWJ so much he wants to be with him anyway he can. So he makes it out it was just something friends do! LWJ is so distraught at the possibility WWX didn't have romantic feelings for him, yet shared an extremely intimate moment with him anyway. How can anyone think he would just have sex with WWX if he thought WWX wasn't interested in him. It just wouldn't happen.

So again, I think that this fanon idea or whatever it is, is just so far from the truth it's just strange! Anyone who wants this to be canon should just go find another novel to read quite frankly!

It can take time to understand your sexuality and shaming a character who actually realised it pretty fast considering the circumstances, is just shallow and ironically makes them the "oblivious" ones they so often like to accuse WWX of being. It's obvious WWX would have realised his sexuality a lot sooner if LWJ had given him a little hint back when they were teens. Which isn't LWJ's fault of course, because people seem to forget he was coming to terms with his own feelings at the time as well! But if he'd given WWX a sign, he'd have been spurred on and pursued LWJ until they were a couple.

In WWX's own words:

"...If he doesn’t want me, I’ll bother him to the point that he does.”

Chapter 125 - Lotus Seed Pod extra, ExR

Although he wasn't fully prepared to accept what context the above proclamation was in, he still meant it! 🥰

I'm guessing you feel the same way about this obnoxious interpretation as well Anon, since you used the term fanon 😉 so that's a relief! Have a lovely day and enjoy the canon version of WWX and LWJ in all their true glory ❤️

[rat-rambles]

I'm just gona go on a rant for a bit this is about like queer rep but brought on by Billford. I hate H A T E how as soon as a relationship is queer the burden of poof is SO MUCH HIGHER. Like for example luts take a show like lucifer that plays a stright will they won't they for seasons if same couple written the same HAPPENED TO BE GAY there would be a whole group of people calling it not cannon just becuse they don't kiss till I think season 4. If you see a male and female character of the same age share a room on TV for long enough people asume there in a relationship with out any titles handholding or kissing involved, but bring it back to book of bill you have men flirting, being vulnerable, geting shit faced together and post break up one becomes a drunken sobbing mess that's still seen as not enough to be cannon. Witch dose remind me of the good omens book and season one that "isn't cannon" only becuse they don't kiss I'd it was a stright couple no one would question it. It's just frustring when stright get things like lucifer these complicated romances that drag on and if we get that it's queer baiting becuse if there not kissing there not gay. (Yes sometimes it is queer baiting I know).

FFXIV Write2023, Prompt 10 [free day]: Shock.

AU

Even in a city as busy and bustling as Old Sharlayan, he's impossible to miss. And Raha in his forced solitude, prides himself on being observant type of person. 

Every year, around the end of summer an influx of new students to the city of scholars brings a sea of new, fresh faces to fill the plaza around the Aetheryte where he likes to spend time. Having not much more to do other than reread the countless books he already read, he liked to watch the new students on occasion, sometimes daydreaming of one of them going against the grain and becoming his friend. He had his favorite place for it, a spot set in the shadow of one of the pillars surrounding the market, perfectly shaded to let his observations remain unnoticed. Hide the sight of his unusual, unlucky eyes - a bit at least. 

He was curious by nature, and he liked to guess where those boys and girls came from, what did they plan to study or do within the city. It was an interesting past-time, nothing else...

...until the hot, summer day when shading his eyes against the blaring sunlight filling the plaza, he sees him. 

To his defense - a thing he would later often catch himself thinking - he, that unusually tall, black-haired Seeker was more than eye-catching. 

Out of place, even. 

While fresh-faced students scurry around him, gawking owlishly at the figure dressed all in black, he was tempted to think he - that Seeker - looked like a statue made in the image of heroes he loved to read about. Standing there, like him shilding his eyes from brightness filling the skies - immobile as he seemed to look at the slowly spining crystal of Aetheryte - he made Raha wish for a moment that he had the talent for drawing. His fingers, clenched unconsciously around the edge of his seat, itch irrationaly with that sudden craving. 

The male finally moved, running his fingers through his hair as he looked around the plaza as if completely unaware of the many stares directed at him. Raha's eyes, among the many others winden and his lips part with a silent gasp at the first sight of the Seeker's beauty, so perfect he isn’t even surprised by the way his heart jumps in his throat, stuttering in an uneven rhytm. 

More than ever he was thankful for the shadow of the pillar when the uncannily pale eyes passed over the place where he sat, thankfully missing the sight of a blush that that made him feel like his face would burn away. 

It was his first taste of an obsession, much later he would sometimes laugh. 

That day, however, he was quite far from amusement, watching the Seeker toss a travel bag over his shoulder, then in a steady, confident step head toward one of the paths leading off the plaza. Before he even knew what he was doing, Raha found that his body moved on his own, launching into following the stranger. Thankful that the male apparently chose the path toward the Studium that ran by the building of Baldesion Annex, giving him a much better excuse that the few others who curiously followed the impossibly beautiful male. 

He thought it luck... until he froze, seeing the Seeker step on the path leading to the building instead of heading further toward the park behind it. 

The ink-haired man didn’t even seem to hesitate, pushing the door of the Annex open and stepping inside like it wasn’t the first time - or perhaps simply used to do whatever pleased him. 

...and in any other circumstances - if his brain worked properly - perhaps the shudder that thought sent down his spine would be unnerving. Instead, he stood there on the path for a moment - uncertain and undecided what to do - while the massive door swing shut behind the stranger. His ears twitched with the murmur of whispers of speculating students, and - surprisingly - it pushed him forward just a second before his stillness could seem the wrong side of unnatural. 

He told himself he was going to head stright to his bedroom as he moved toward the door, not linger in the lobby to sate his curiosity about the beautiful male - and he was determined in it, really, until right past the threshold Ojika's voice brought him short. 

"Oi, Raha, here you are!" The Lalafell exclaimed cheerfully, seemingly unbothered by the stranger - even more impossibly imposing next to the receptionist's desk. He - in turn - felt nailed down by the unreadable gaze of ice-blue eyes that trailed over his form, then focused on his face. Slight curl to the pretty lips told him nothing of the impression he might have made - and the somewhat intense gaze of pale eyes was downright unsettling. 

Unsure what to do, he cleared his throat awkwardly and hoping to keep his voice even, he focused his gaze - tearing it with effort from the Seeker's face - to sent the shorter, familiar man a hesitant, though polite smile. 

"Did you need me?" He asked, consciously stopping himself from wringling his hands in nerves as he felt the gaze of the stranger bore into him. There was intensity to everything about this man, making him feel like the air within the lobby of the Annex nearly shimerred with tension. 

"Sort of..." Oijka paused, then smiled sort of helplessly, pointing toward the tall figure towering over his desk. It took all in him to keep a neutral expression on his face when he forced his eyes to meet again that intense, intimidating gaze. "...you have a guest, boy."

"...me?" He would be ashamed about the slight sqeaky note in his voice if he wasn’t so shocked. His voice barely finished changing after puberty, sometimes still betrying him like this. 

"G'raha," the male finally spoke up, and he nearly wished he didn’t. The sound - silky, deep and rumbling - in the light filling the Annex caused a treacherous blush to consume his face while his eyes grew huge when the stranger move with the surprising grace, feline and leathal at the same time. He barely felt how his head tilted back with his approach, his shell-shocked gaze stuck on now obvious, amused smirk on those gorgeous lips. More than a head taller than him, muscular to fit the legends of heroes of his books and with the fitting aura surrounding his imposing figure - it was an painful effort not to bolt. His hands curled in the material of his pants when the male stopped before him, that intense gaze keeping his eyes capitve even as his face grew hotter. 

...then he gasped when - without warning - the tall Seeker seamlessly fell to one knee, his face blinding like sun when it lit up with a grin that was a strange mix of amused and adorable. When he flinched - too shocked to react on time even if he knew what to do, the male caught his hand, tearing a gasp from his mouth as he inclined his ink-tinted head and set a reverent - no other way to call it - kiss on his knuckles. 

"I'm Senri, the Warrior of Light," the Seeker purred by his fingers, keeping his dumbstruck gaze in a snare. "And from this day forward, I'm yours to command, my prince."

...and he could be excused - when arguing about that later - that he could do nothing but stare.
