⤷ warnings: modern au, reader and kazuha have to hide their relationship, near 2k words of me rambling tbh

⤷ extra: this is a little different than my usual formatting (and it's longer) because it was originally a gift for @milk-violet so everyone better thank her for convincing me to post this here

The entertainment industry is a world of glitz, glamour, and unrelenting scrutiny. You knew this the moment you stepped into it, but nothing quite prepared you for the secret-keeping. Or, more specifically, the secret you and Kazuha had been guarding for almost two years now.

Dating a co-star—especially one as universally adored as Kazuha—was a perilous game. The whispers of fans, the prying eyes of paparazzi, and the ironclad contracts that forbade any public display of affection were all things you had to navigate carefully. But no amount of restrictions could dim the warmth of Kazuha’s love, the way his eyes would soften when he looked at you or the quiet moments you stole together in between filming.

You were good at pretending. Both of you were. It was practically a requirement for your jobs. But when the announcement came that you and Kazuha had been cast as the leads in a new romantic drama, your heart nearly stopped.

“It’ll be fine,” Kazuha had said when you told him your concerns. The two of you were curled up on his couch, a rare evening off spent hidden away in his apartment. His hand rested on yours, fingers drawing lazy patterns on your skin. “We’re professionals. No one will suspect a thing.”

“You mean no one will suspect a thing if you stop looking at me like that during rehearsals,” you retorted, though the playful lilt in your voice couldn’t hide your nervousness.

He smiled, that soft, lopsided smile that always made your heart flutter. “I’ll do my best,” he teased.

You rolled your eyes, but you couldn’t help smiling back.

---

The first few weeks of filming went smoothly… mostly. The script was a classic love story with all the hallmarks of a hit: misunderstandings, longing glances, and a climactic confession scene that promised to leave audiences breathless. It was the kind of story that could make or break careers.

But for you, every take felt like walking a tightrope. Playing opposite Kazuha was both exhilarating and terrifying. When the cameras rolled, his every touch, every look, felt so achingly real that you had to remind yourself to stay in character. Worse still, the cast and crew were beginning to notice.

“You two have such natural chemistry,” the director said one day, after a particularly intense scene. “It’s like you’re not even acting.”

Kazuha’s hand brushed yours under the table during the script meeting that followed, a silent reassurance that he’d felt it too. The line between reality and fiction was blurring, and neither of you was doing a great job of hiding it.

It wasn’t just the director who was noticing, either. The makeup artist teased you about how easily Kazuha could make you laugh, while the wardrobe team joked about how effortlessly you complemented each other’s looks. Even the lighting crew started setting up shots with an unspoken understanding that the two of you simply fit.

“You know,” your co-star remarked one afternoon, a knowing glint in their eye, “if I didn’t know better, I’d think there was something going on between you two.”

You’d laughed it off, feigning confusion with a well-practiced air of innocence. Kazuha, ever the picture of calm, had simply smiled and quipped, “That’s just the magic of a good script.”

But behind closed doors, the pressure was mounting. Each whispered comment or lingering glance felt like a thread unraveling the careful tapestry you’d both woven to keep your relationship hidden. Still, the fleeting moments of stolen intimacy—when his hand would linger just a second too long on yours as he passed you a coffee, or when he’d quietly slip you a note during a break—were worth every risk.

It was a game of balancing acts, a performance within a performance. And as the days turned into weeks, you began to wonder how long you could keep the act going without the truth slipping through the cracks.

---

And then came the confession scene. The one the entire drama hinged on.

It was a quiet, tender moment set under a canopy of stars. Your character, heartbroken and hesitant, would finally admit their feelings. Kazuha’s character would take your hand, look into your eyes, and deliver a monologue so heartfelt it would make anyone believe in love.

You’d rehearsed the lines a hundred times, but as you stood there on set, with Kazuha’s eyes locked on yours, the words felt impossibly heavy.

“Action!” the director called.

Your character hesitated, voice trembling as you spoke. “I can’t keep this to myself anymore. I… I love you.”

Kazuha’s response was immediate, his voice rich with emotion. “And I… I’ve loved you all along.”

His hand cupped your cheek, thumb brushing against your skin with a tenderness that made your breath hitch. The kiss that followed was supposed to be carefully choreographed, a perfect balance of passion and restraint. But the moment his lips met yours, everything else faded away. The cameras, the crew, the carefully constructed facade—none of it mattered. It was just you and Kazuha, your emotions spilling over in a kiss that was as real as the love you shared.

When the director called “cut,” the set was silent. Then came the applause.

“That was incredible!” someone exclaimed. “You’d think they were really in love or something.”

You tried to ignore the knowing looks the crew exchanged as you and Kazuha stepped apart, faces flushed.

The applause and laughter carried on around you, but your heart pounded so loudly it drowned out the noise. Kazuha’s hand lingered on your arm for just a second longer than necessary, his thumb brushing against your sleeve as if silently grounding you. His expression was calm, unreadable to anyone else, but you caught the flicker of something more in his eyes—a mixture of pride and affection that sent a shiver through you.

“You two absolutely nailed that,” the director said, beaming as he walked over. “It’s the kind of chemistry you can’t fake. Keep it up.”

You forced a laugh, nodding in agreement as Kazuha gave a humble shrug. “We’re just following your direction,” he said smoothly, his voice steady and professional. The perfect answer.

Still, the knowing glances didn’t stop. The cast whispered, the crew exchanged smirks, and you could feel the invisible thread tightening around the secret you and Kazuha had worked so hard to protect. Every interaction was now under the microscope, every laugh, every glance, every moment that felt too genuine for comfort.

Later, as you retreated to the quiet sanctuary of your dressing room, Kazuha slipped in after you. He closed the door softly behind him, leaning against it with a small smile that melted some of the tension in your chest.

“You okay?” he asked, his voice low, meant just for you.

You nodded, though your hands were still trembling slightly. “I think we might’ve been a little too convincing.”

Kazuha chuckled, stepping closer to take your hands in his. “Good,” he murmured, his thumbs brushing soothing circles on your skin. “That just means we’re doing our jobs.”

You gave him a half-hearted glare. “You’re enjoying this way too much.”

“Maybe,” he admitted, his voice dipping into something softer, more intimate. “But it’s worth it. As long as you’re by my side.”

The words, simple and earnest, made your heart ache in the best way. For a moment, the walls around your secret didn’t feel like a cage, but a shared refuge. And even if the world came dangerously close to uncovering the truth, you knew that, with Kazuha, you could face whatever came next.

---

You could not face what came next.

The weeks that followed were a whirlwind of filming and speculation. Fans dissected every trailer, every behind-the-scenes clip, noting the undeniable chemistry between you and Kazuha. Gossip columns ran headlines like “Are They or Aren’t They?” and “On-Screen Lovers or Something More?”

Through it all, you and Kazuha maintained your careful act, deflecting questions with practiced ease. But behind closed doors, you laughed about the irony of it all.

“We’re not very good at this, are we?” you said one night, as the two of you reviewed the latest batch of fan theories.

“On the contrary,” Kazuha replied, pulling you into his arms. “I think we’re doing exactly what we set out to do.”

You looked up at him, confused.

“Convincing the world we’re madly in love,” he explained, a playful glint in his eyes. “Because we are.”

You laughed, burying your face in his chest. It was a secret you’d keep as long as you had to, but in moments like this, you didn’t mind.

But the world had a way of testing your resolve.

The tension reached a breaking point during a promotional event for the drama. The room was buzzing with energy, a sea of cameras flashing and reporters clamoring for the best soundbite. You and Kazuha sat side by side on the panel, answering questions with the kind of polished charm that came from months of media training.

“I have to ask,” one reporter began, her tone light but her intent razor-sharp, “the chemistry between you two is… extraordinary. It’s not often we see something this authentic. What’s your secret?”

The question hung in the air like a challenge. You felt your pulse quicken, a bead of sweat forming at your temple. Kazuha, ever the master of composure, leaned forward with a small smile.

“We’ve spent a lot of time together, both on and off set,” he said smoothly. “Getting to know each other’s quirks and nuances is key to creating that kind of connection on screen.”

It was a perfect answer, one that drew a chorus of approving murmurs from the room. But you weren’t sure how much longer you could keep this up.

Later, as the event wound down, you slipped away to catch a moment of peace. You found yourself on the balcony, the cool evening air a welcome reprieve from the stifling heat of the spotlight.

“I thought I’d find you here,” Kazuha’s voice came from behind you.

You turned to see him leaning casually against the doorway, his expression soft but laced with concern.

“I’m fine,” you said quickly, though the tremor in your voice betrayed you.

Kazuha stepped closer, his presence steady and reassuring. “You don’t have to be,” he murmured, reaching for your hand. “Not with me.”

His words broke through the wall you’d been holding up all night. The weight of the charade, the constant scrutiny, the fear of being exposed—it all came rushing to the surface.

“Kazuha,” you whispered, your voice trembling. “What if they find out? What if this all falls apart?”

He cupped your face gently, his eyes locking with yours in that way that always made the world feel like it was spinning just a little slower.

“Then we’ll face it together,” he said, his voice a quiet promise. “No matter what happens, I’m not letting go of us.”

The resolve in his gaze, the steadiness of his touch, was enough to anchor you. In that moment, the world and its prying eyes didn’t matter. It was just you and Kazuha, holding on to the truth you shared, ready to weather whatever storm came your way.

Hi! This is for the matchup trade! Sorry for the wait 💕

Might I get a romantic matchup for Osomatsu-san and a Security Breach animatronic? I saw you asked for the same thing so I hope doing a matchup for SB is okay on your end! If not, I understand. I’d like to be matched with a male, please (: and my pronouns are she/her.

My big three are as follows: Leo sun, Scorpio moon, and Capricorn rising! I’m also an ENTP! I think these typology things suit my personality pretty well. With friends and family, I’m pretty brash, humorous, and easygoing. I love to tease any romantic interests and make my friends laugh. I’m actually a huge flirt — I think of it as a defense mechanism — as well as a competitive hot-head. Just the smallest lost can get me really heated. But the cool part is that my anger eases itself just as quickly as it comes. I might get angry at irrational things, but it takes a very short amount of time for me to soothe myself! I guess I’m only good at openly expressing anger. I HATE being sad in front of others ): that being said, I have a hard time asking for help and accepting advice. I’m a true-born leader who is both responsible and impulsive. I’m assertive, too, and confident within myself and my abilities. However, the person I am with a lover is much different. While I’m still chill and very much adrenaline-seeking, I open my heart to sentimentality and sappy stuff. I really love being a romantic nurturer! Gentleness and praising are things I know well (: comforting others is easily my favorite thing to do

My giving love language, the language I use to share my love, would have to be physical touch and words of affirmation! I’m really touchy and, again, super sappy in romance. However, I’m most attracted to acts of service — do stuff for me and I’m literally in love. I’m also a fan of those who can return my sentiments and be vulnerable with me!!

Some of my hobbies include singing, writing, and playing video games. I’m super into outer space, astronomy, and astrology. My room is an absolute disaster of zodiac tapestry and solar system “merch” tbh LMAO and I also have a thing for crystals, horror movies, and stormy weather <3 singing has been my highest talent since the day I was born. I’m also really adrenaline-seeking — I like changes of pace and doing exciting things.

Sorry if this was a little long! When I get in a writing mood, it’s hard for me to stop haha 💕 can’t wait to write your matchup for you! (:

Your Security Breach matchup is...

Honestly, you guys are pretty similar but I believe that would work well within the relationship

Would be able to handle your brashness (and enjoy it since he's the same way)

This gator is absolutely whipped for you but he would show it through his actions more so than his words

Monty would totally be the type to be flustered at your flirting but hide it by flirting back (if you blush he would tease you about it even tho he's blushing himself) 

Even though you are both hotheads, I feel like you can teach him how to handle his anger better. You would be the only one he listens to since he feels like you're the only person who truly understands him

Although he doesn't admit it he LOVES sentimentality and the sappy attention that comes with it 

Being praised by you makes Monty's imaginary heart flutter and he would try to make you feel the same way

Understands you not feeling comfortable being sad in front of others but doesn't want you to bottle up that sadness either, so he would try to distract you with your favorite activities or being silly for you to laugh 

If you do open up with any sad feelings to him, he'll be all ears and ready to beat up whoever made you sad. If no external force is making you sad he'll comfort you with cuddles and reassuring words (he ain't letting go until he's sure your fine so get comfortable lol)

PLEASE TOUCH MONTY 

He loves it all! Hand holding, head pats, cuddling, etc. He would even let you touch his tail 

He would definitely return the favor he can't keep his hands off you <3

You love acts of service? Monty is your guy. He would do whatever you asked him to 

He would use your love of acts of service as a way to show off (plz praise him when he shows off he would be on cloud 9 and his tail will start wagging it's adorable ^v^) 

Although Monty is very boisterous he can have his chill moments and cherishes those quiet moments with you 

Would make sure you get to play every game the mall has to offer

Loves to hear you sing and thinks you sound lovely! Would show off his bass playing skills in return (he’d be down to make a song with you if you asked-) 

Doesn't understand much about astrology, astronomy, and crystals but he will intently listen to you talk about it 

At first, he thought crystals were the same as normal rocks, so one time he gifted you a pebble and it was so stupidly cute that you couldn't be mad at him 

Loves horror movies and watching them with you (and trying to scare you throughout the movie lmao)

If you look up excitement in the dictionary Monty will be the picture next to it so no worries of ever being in a stagnant relationship when with him

Your Osomatsu-san matchup is...

He would be very flustered when you flirt with him. He's used to rejection so it's shocking to him and makes him stutter (which he beats himself up for :,])

Even though he tries to play it cool, Karamatsu is visibly nervous around you. Your humor and easy-going attitude will make him realize he doesn't need to be nervous though

Relates to your dislike of being sad in front of others since he's the same way (especially around his family) but would be there for you during those times 

He wouldn't force you to tell him anything but if you do, he will be honored and it would help him open up to you as well 

This is the sappiest of sappy men ever omg

He will do all things romantic (not anything too expensive) but to make up for it his advances would be very personable and creative <3

This man loves the attention you give him and may get a little bratty if he doesn't get it 

Karamatsu is a people pleaser by heart and would give back the affection tenfold! 

I headcanon Karamatsu's love language to be words of affirmation as well so you guys would most definitely have cute nicknames for each other

His fav nicknames for you are "angel" "my karamatsu girl" and "baby"  

Thinks your singing voice is the most heavenly thing on Earth and furthers his idea of you being his lovely angel 

Would make songs for you and perform them on his acoustic guitar 

He finds it so attractive when you rant about your interest so don't hold back!

He thinks outer space is super interesting so be prepared for a bunch of questions about it. He thinks it's super cool that you're so knowledgeable about space and astronomy

Doesn't know much about astrology but is willing to know more 

Finds your room super cute all decked out in solar system and astrology stuff

Is a huge scaredy-cat but will still watch scary movies with you (scaring him during the movie will make him scream like a little girl it's hilarious lmao) 

He really enjoys doing exciting activities with you it makes him feel young again  

This was my first time writing a matchup for someone so I hope you enjoyed! You were pleasant to talk to and I hope your blog gets more traction. Please check out her work cuz her writing is so good <33 

[turtle-steverogers]

Ok I’m sorry to keep the conversation going, just tell me to stop if you get bored. But it’s like you’re inside my brain! Because that language was so disgusting! And it really makes me mad when people can’t criticise woman (or anyone actually) without being

a) somewhat polite and, b) not referring to their genitalia/ sex?!

Also saying shit like “oh I hate it because MY Steve would NEVER go back for a woman like that … well ok, but Steve would never EVER talk about anyone like that ever. So what’s your point?

I’m convinced that some people just like being angry. And that’s fine! Like you are completely entitled to your emotions. But then why come to a blog that has made such a positive/safe Steve space and say all that garbage? Ugh.

ANYWAYS. I don’t want to waste anymore of my (limited fukaqksbjssva) brain space on those replies. Have a good evening Mikey!!!! Ly 🥺

💜 anon

oh I hate it because MY Steve would NEVER go back for a woman like that … well ok, but Steve would never EVER talk about anyone like that ever. So what’s your point?

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 i wanna get that on a tapestry and hang it all over my blog

And tbh I think you’re right and people just like to be mad, because either they don’t understand the point of my initial post or they’re willfully ignoring it. Endgame criticisms are valid! I have them, too. But when the criticisms demonize characters or are unnecessarily harsh on a character people claim to love, it gets tired and tbh maybe I’ve just gotten to the point where I’d rather just write oodles of soft headcanons/reconcile what peace I can with Endgame.

[needs-to-stop-looking-at-yigas]

We all know Kohga is perpetually horny as hell, but I'd love to see what would happen if he ended up taking (accidentally or otherwise) an aphrodisiac potion. 😆

I've actually had a thought for EXACTLY this idea! Let's get to it!

Revali had once again invited his friends over to his home. It wasn't to bond with them of course, but rather, as a means to show off how well he re-decorated the place. New tapestry, a nice vase, the whole nine yards, all within his humble little space. He was currently giving the princess a tour, feathers all proud and puffed.

“And as you can see, Princess, THIS is the finest vase you’ve ever seen, have you not?”

“It is quite the collection! Though I must ask, what is that one?”

She pointed towards a small, pink vial of liquid. He plucked it from the shelf, scoffing.

“Oh, forgot I left it out here. It’s what we use during this time of year. We call it ‘anti down’, and it keeps us from acting a fool during heat. All Rito have it, but I refuse to act like a dog and hump everything. Unlike your little knight with Mipha."

Revali HATED that Link STILL didn't react to that blatant slander. Cheeky, even in his own home. Zelda butted in between them, as per usual.

"I had no idea you Rito HAD something for heat!"

"Because we're above primitive desires. Unfortunately our biology is so unique, it does the OPPOSITE effect if any other species takes it. I'll be sure to put this a-NO LINK!"

Link was starting to eat the decorated fruit bowl, and Revali put the bottle down in order to try to pull him off. Kohga watched their dumb little fruit fight, when he noticed the smallest bottle on the counter. Must be one of those fancy rito drinks. He made sure no one was looking, before he swiped it, tucking it away in his suit. 

"Hey Revali, I'd LOVE to stay and chat, but uh. I'm bored. So, good luck, and goodbye!"

Kohga gave him a mock salute as a goodbye, though Revali's squawking made sure he didn't hear him leave. Sooga looked down at Kohga, lightly scoffing.

"Those curtains were atrocious."

"He could've picked a better way to come out. Tbh it was more effective than catching him with a dick in his beak."

"Well put, Master Kogha."

He chuckled. He showed Sooga the little bottle, as if he was gloating.

“Plus side, I got myself a little present! You want a swig?”

“Polite pass. I don’t trust drinks that I haven’t seen made, unless made by you. But I must commend your sticky fingers.”

“Hey, you know how good I am with these fingers~. Anyhow, here’s hoping this fucks me up.”

He tossed his head back as he took it in one swig, before shaking his head furiously.

“Oh. Oh. EW. God, YOU make drinks better than this.”

“It must be awful, you hate my drinks.”

“Both statements are true. Ew. Ugh, take me home, I need this taste out of my mouth.”

“Would picking you up make the experience a bit sweeter?”

“Maybe, let’s test it out.”

Kohga grinned as Sooga grabbed his husband, and took him right home. Little did he know, a moment of bitterness, made for a VERY saucy Kohga.

--------------------------------------

Kohga grumbled under his sheets. It was rare, but every once under a blue moon, Kohga couldn’t sleep worth a shit. Tonight was one of those nights. He grumbled as he sat up, folding his arms over his chest.

“Not FAIR. I’m TIRED. What is the issue NOW?”

Kohga threw off the blankets, and saw that he had a bulge in his suit. His frustration melted away to amusement, and he chuckled.

“Ah. Was so grumpy, didn’t notice you there. Alright, alright.”

Kohga thought about bugging his snoozing Sooga, but the poor guy barely got enough sleep as it were. Besides, he needed a bit of self love, been a while. He squirmed out of his clothes, and after grabbing a bottle of lube, got himself nice and snug. He lathered up his hands, and grabbed at his cock, only to wince.

“Ooh, you are SENSITIVE tonight. Okay, easy does it. Easy.”

He got himself used to his touch, and eventually he was able to stroke himself. Unlike Sooga, he always preferred a quick, light pace in his handjob. Kohga tossed his head back, dying in satisfaction. Sure, he wanted to be asleep, but jerking himself off while Sooga rested right next to him? Was it ever sweet. It was surprisingly short lived however, as he found himself cumming way faster than usual. It was good, REAL good, but that was definitely record timing. He sighed, removing his cum soaked hand, and wiping it off on a rag.

“Hoo. That was good. Alright, sleep time.”

Kohga covered himself, and fell right to sleep, the end.

At least, that’s what SHOULD’VE happened. What DID happen was him sitting there, wide awake. He thought it was just his body getting that high from an orgasm, but he’d come to realize that as he sat there, his cock was throbbing, and BAD. It felt even worse this time, and Kohga muttered angrily. Fucking hell, he needed to cum again? So soon? This late? Dammit all.

“Alright. I get it. Round two, let’s go.”

Kohga buried his face in his pillow as yet again, started to pump his cock. It somehow felt even better this time around, and Kohga grumbled to himself, really going at it.

“Shit, okay, gonna be one of those nights apparently. Shit.”

Kohga was trapped in an endless cycle. He’d cum, try to sleep, cum, try to sleep. He reached his fifth orgasm, and his body was trembling something fierce. He was a horn dog, sure, but now he was insatiable. He didn’t want to wake Sooga up, poor guy barely ever slept, especially next to him, but Kohga needed him, and needed him now. He got up from his cum covered spot, and nudged Sooga a bit harshly.

“Sooga, Sooga get up!”

Sooga sprang up, quickly looking around the room.

“What is it?! Are we under attack?”

“No. Just, god shut the fuck up and let me fuck your face.”

Sooga was clearly NOT expecting that, especially so late at night. But he was never one to refuse Kohga. So he laid down on his back, and gave not a single qualm as Kohga held onto his hair, pulled his hair back, and shoved his cock right into his mouth. His Master was aggressive usually, but this was something different entirely. Kohga didn’t even mean to. He just couldn’t help but force himself into that pretty, hot mouth of his. Not once, not twice, but three times. Each time Sooga kept himself still (minus his legs, those pushed and squirmed till he pretty much kicked the sheets off), accepting loads after loads of his Master’s cum, each being bigger than the last. Kohga barely spoke, merely full of grunts and grumbles. Kohga pulled away, seeming to be sated, at least for a second. Sooga’s chest heaved under him, and his cheeks were flushed in embarrassment. He met Kohga’s eyes, and saw helpless, uncontrollable lust.

“M-master Kohga, you’re quite...energetic tonight.”

He paused mid sentence, forcing himself to swallow all that cum, wiping his chin with the back of his hand. He smeared it all over, making himself into quite the messy boy. Kohga took a deep breath, trying to recall just where his head was.

“I...yeah. Fuck you’re pretty like this. So pretty. You handle all that cum like a real champ.”

Sooga was about to thank his master Kohga, before he suddenly found his dick right back into his mouth. Sooga’s mouth loved such rough, desperate treatment, soaking Kohga’s dick in his drool. Another load, then another. Sooga thought he’d be tired, but he seemed to only fuck him with more fury as time went on. As Kohga forced more cum inside of his mouth, Sooga had to actually push him away, just to get some means of air. He coughed a bit, trying not to choke on his Master’s cum. While it was a treat, it was just SO much of it. Sooga swallowed again, shaking as the thick fluid sank right into his stomach.

“M-master Kohga, please, a breather, just for a moment-”

“I wanna ride your cock. I wanna cum on it so fucking hard, Sooga.”

“If...that is what is demanded of me-”

Kohga knelt down to kiss him, shoving his tongue in his mouth and licking at whatever cum he seemed to have left in that pretty, pretty mouth. Usually Kohga was far more grandiose in his approach, but there seemed to be no room for that tonight. It was just him slamming himself onto his cock, nearly making Sooga jump every time his ass slammed into him. 

"M-Master Kohga, please slow down! I want to enjoy y-"

"I need your FUCKING cum. I need your pretty cum, right in my ass. Enjoy me later."

Sooga was unable to tame his master. He came on him once, twice, thrice. Each time was met with loads and loads of cum littering his chest and stomach. Kohga laid on top of him, sounding just absolutely exhausted. Sooga held onto his back, assuming this was the end of Kohga’s lust.

"You...god, you're insatiable. What number was that?"

Kohga hummed a bit in thought, before looking up at him.

"T...thirteen."

"Holy-master Kohga, are you ill?"

"Don't...know. I just know I can't sleep, and I know I want you SO fucking bad, Sooga."

"Not sure how much more of me you can HAVE Master Kohga…"

Sooga prided himself in being able to help his master, but this was...so much. His mouth was sticky with cum, his chest was soaked in sweat and cum- he hadn’t recalled the last time he was so absolutely filthy. Sooga was about to prompt Kohga to take a break, when Kohga seemed to spring back to life, cock even harder than he was a second ago.

"Get on your stomach. Let me fuck that cute ass of yours. I always liked seeing my cum leak out of you."

"Master Kohga, I'm honored you want me so, but I think all of this is healthy! Maybe you need a moment to collect yourself-"

Kohga held onto his face, kissing his big, beautiful face. He parted after just a moment, springs of hot cum connecting their open mouths. Kohga nearly shook as he wiped the cum from his lips.

"I NEED you Sooga. I'm aching something SO bad, don't make me suffer like this!"

Kohga sounded damn near to tears in his whining. Sooga couldn’t refuse his poor, desperate master. He rolled to his front, and Kohga was on his back almost immediately, rubbing his cock against that beautiful, plump ass of his. Sooga looked up as Kohga rested his chin on his shoulder, trying to find his thoughts. Despite his concerns, Sooga VERY much wanted him to keep going. Knowing his Master wanted him so hungrily, knowing he was getting cum in every part of him, made Sooga's cock terribly hard.

"J-just. Use me as you see fit, but be careful."

He was going to add more, but Kohga’s teeth aas on his ear, nearly making him melt. Kohga’s breath was hot in his ear, and it made a shiver run up his back. 

"It's cute how you're worried about me. It's cute how you'll sit here and let me fucking use you. You look good in my cum. So good. Now, I love you, but stop FUCKING talking, and let me plow you like a goddamn field."

Sooga felt himself gulping at that oh so sensual voice of his. Sooga couldn’t stop that cock just pushing into his ass, even if he wanted to. 

Which he absolutely didn't. 

------------------------------

"So you and Sooga have one thing in common, apparently."

"We're both handsome?"

Revali had joined Kohga and Urbosa for brunch, and of course, Kohga wanted to start some shit. 

"One, don't you touch my man. Two, no, you both make shitty drinks."

Revali cocked his head, clearly confused.

"I...didn't make you a drink, ever."

"Talkin about that little bottle. Tasted like ass. Actually worse, I've eaten ass."

"Little d-YOU took my anti rito down?!"

Kohga shrugged at the sudden anger from the random look of anger.

"Your….what?"

"My rito-its for my HEAT! Dear Hylia you DRANK it?"

"Yeah? Why?"

"It's supposed to help RITO with heat."

"And what does-oh. Oh. Oooooh that makes a LOT of sense. Huh."

"Is that why he's not here?"

"Oh it absolutely is. Dude can't walk."

There was a moment of silence, before Kohga loudly slumped his drink, sighing.

"I fucked him at LEAST thirty two times-"

"NO ONE ASKED."

“He did. Multiple times-”

“Why do I keep inviting you to things?”

[deeisace]

Your "what is this, the 1500s? Anyway yes" tag made me laugh omg. You're so right

Haha yeah

I don’t have any tapestries myself, but I’d deffo pick those over posters. It’s cold here. 

I do have. hats, tho. Which, cs I had no art when I was unpacking but there were nails in the wall, so, what was I supposed to do? 

It does mean I haven’t worn any of my hats except my like winter beanie in three years, cs the wall hats have just blended into the background cs my brain is hell, and also now I’m sorta scared there’s now gonna be giant horrific spiders or bugs living in the hats. So there’s that.

One day I’ll reclaim the hats but uh. I doubt it’ll be soon tbh

CLAUDIA P.

5 THINGS YOU’LL FIND ON HER PERSON.

Her mother's broken pearl necklace. It's very near and dear to her, she's held onto it like a security blanket as well as a trinket for luck & protection ever since Lord Phantomhive whisked her away to the estate. She keeps them safely tucked away in one of her hidden skirt pockets! Those of supernatural origin that are able to detect magical objects can sense there is a Divine blessing on it; it’ll never be lost to Claudia, and those who mean her ill-intent will have their hands burn when they grab at it - almost like they stuck their hand in flames. It’s a precious thing that Máire [ her mother ] has long since used in her prayers specifically to Brigid ever since she was twelve, so it’s instilled with her blessing! 

Her axe. Even when she’s retired, the Countess keeps her silver axe on her person just the same; tucked away in its renewed sheathe that’s hidden under a flap on the back of her dress [ fun headcanon: while undertaker takes his sotoba up from the top of his collar, she pulls her axe down from below ]. Divine magic also touches this weapon; a blessing from the Morrígan in which the blade is kept heinously sharp so long as she gets some sip her blood tribute, absorbing the splatter and gore through the axe’s silver surface and leaving it pristine. Should too long go by without it having a taste of blood it will begin to dull rapidly for the amount of years its gone untouched, but fortunately the Phantomhives never seem to run short of assassins, hitmen and abductors. Her Divine continues to be pleased.

An emerald poison ring. Silver, classy and adorned with the head of a wolf opening its maw to hold a shiny emerald. No one'd expect such a beautiful big gem hides such a heinous poison beneath! It looks pretty neat when she pops it open and the poison pours out of the wolf’s mouth.

[ Enchanted ] Skeleton key. A simple-looking golden key with hidden runes that activate when inserted into magical locks its made for, but it functions like a normal key as well. This key will open absolutely any door in the Phantomhive manor [ unless Sebastian’s room has the same thing going on! ] as well as the invisible locks she has guarding her forest altar. This is also the only thing that will open all doors leading into her bedroom [ the hallway and the balcony ] as those locks are spellbound to react to only the key itself. Vincent’s always tried to pick his way in but could never quite achieve it! I like to think he inherited his mother’s mischievously nosy curiosity. 

Her black choker with a deep green brooch embedded in its middle. It hides the scar paved along her throat from the attempted assassination. Don’t want anyone seeing that, especially not family. v_v

5 THINGS YOU’LL FIND IN HER ROOM.

Her bed, of course! Mahogany framed. It’s enormous, as to be expected for a Countess. It’s extremely soft, easy to sink into and piled with many lace-ended pillows. Heavy, wool-knitted beige blankets lay over the very top, plush to the touch and covering the white and green sheets beneath it. Deep green curtains with leaf embroidery are tied to the bed posts with dark brown rope, and close all around the bed when Claudia turns in for the night -- except for the curtains at the foot. Those stay partially open to absorb the heat from the fireplace. As for the back of the bed, she built it herself! It has an enormous, full-length mirror installed into its wooden frame and a long, smooth surface below for convenience. It has two lamps at both ends that are within reach. 

Lovely mannequins. Rested next to the balcony are two simple manniquens. One is the bearer of her Brigid cloak, the hood pulled up and draped over to obsfuscate the face. Its arms are stretched forwards, hands splayed up with the ceremonial cloth and ropes used for Claudia’s handfasting ceremony; the pearls that were wrapped around all that hanging from its neck. Opposite of that is the other manniquen. Covered with a deep, dark duster, a peasant blouse, tight black pants and thigh-high boots give off a familiar visage of the Countess during her Watchdog days. Around its waist hangs a very intricate rich brown leather belt with lots of slots in it, weaponized chatelaines and satchels with golden clasps - and a golden wolf head as the buckle in front center.

Secret compartments. Many secret locked compartments in the walls she installed herself [ ^ that can only be opened by aforementioned skeleton key, or a very determined and powerful supernatural force ], hidden behind landscape portraits and animal print wall tapestries. She keeps various things in them: Tonics & Poisons. These are very rare breeds of both, being highly efficient in what they’re made for specifically. There’s vials of strange-looking gnarled roots and various colored liquids stored in here as well, along with herbs (??) hanging from the top. Inheritance. The late Lord Phantomhive left Claudia a fortune, most of which she sent to charity, but kept her own sum for emergencies sake. But that is not all he left her; there’s a small pile of letters, some opened, some remaining closed with different seals. There’s also an envelope in here for Claudia specifically, opened and re-sealed. What’s inside is information concerning safe passage to a number of locations and a list of names. Near the very end, the Lord gave Claudia a way out if she ever felt the need to flee from the Phantomhive title; she’s the only blood left. He would not hold it against her to forfeit the Watchdog title, he’d be dead - he has no reason to care for anything at that point. It’s a very bittersweet gift Claudia’s gone back and forth more than once and plans to hand down to the Undertaker “if I go before he does”. She trusts him to hold onto it and give to any Phantomhive who starts feeling pushed to the brink. Altars. A small altar for each of her Goddesses exists in the walls, in twin compartments side-by-side, their doors marked with the carvings of an anvil and a raven. Brigid’s altar is warm, decorated with handmade trinkets and rolled up drawings. The Morrígan’s is dark, positively dark and dimly lit with this very small icy blue lantern that hangs from the top, and the rest of it is decorated with fans fastened from raven feathers and odd white-crimson candles -- that contain her own blood.  Memonto Mori. Death has been embraced around Claudia for so much of her life, so she’s dedicated her own reminder of that in a “.. yet I survived” way.  Mementos from the Famine in the form of mothbitten fabric from the nightgown she wore that entire time and a lock of hair that had fallen out, from the first attempt on her life by a kidnapper in the form of the rusting gun he had and the bottled flesh & muscle she tore from his throat that earned her the title “Wolf of Winchester” among the Aristocrats of Evil, from the nigh successful assassination in the form of the bloodied gown fabric and pressed white roses that wear dried crimson on their petals. There is nothing for the Phantomhive Fire. This rebuilt manor is a jarring memento mori of its own now. 

Cherry wood bookcases. It is stacked with books of worldwide mythology, folklore, natural remedies, strange leatherbacks, and lots of journals Claudia’s written personally over the years. There’s pictures of loved ones wrapped in oval-shaped, polished wooden frames, a lot of old wooden toys she made for her progeny that they’ve grown out of, a black onyx hand with all fingers lined with rings she made herself and holding an ornate athame. Currently, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” sits with a long brown & white feather serving as a bookmarker. 

Urns. Three very precious porcelain urns that are specifically customized to fit the lives they belonged to: Vincent, Rachel, and Claudia’s seven hounds. While she drew the designs for Vincent and her hounds, she let Rachel’s parents decide how they wanted their daughter’s urn handled. She passed the drawings to the Undertaker and he made them to perfection. They rest on the previously mentioned bookshelf, side-by-side in a very gorgeous center display, with fresh white roses, rosemary, gladiolus & lilies from the garden surrounding them and small lanterns constantly providing a low, gentle golden light. There’s candles that have been melted to their hilts and others that are brand new.

5 THINGS THAT MAKE HER HAPPY.

DOGS. 

Mythology. Mythology and folklore have always been incredibly fascinating to her! They can easily eat hours away as she delves herself into learning more and more about them and re-reading the ones she already knows.

Family. I've said it once, I've said it twice, Claudia's a woman who adores to be surrounded by family. Her attempts to convince the Midfords to join with the Phantomhive household have gone shot down by both her grandson and her daughter. One day she’ll prevail. One day. She won’t but she can dream of having a full house again, let her dream.

The countryside. Honestly, the fact they live here instead of in the city was something of an immense comfort to Claudia because it’s a little reminscent of Donegal. She regularly takes Gelert for a walk and finds a nice green pasture to just sit in for a while and enjoy the wind. It brings such a huge wash of calm and relief and what she turns to when feeling absolutely stressed, anxious or angry. Her natural dopamine hit!

Sweets. The Countess has a bad sweet tooth like her grandson and loves to eat sweet things, including things of her own baking and creating! Wave any delectable sugary sweet before her face and you have her attention - not her compliance, but her attention. [ 1v1 phantomhive discourse is continuously stealing the other’s treats. she doesn’t even recall who started it but it is an on-going War. ] 

5 THINGS SHE'S CURRENTLY INTO.

Infinite woodworking! She has several projects going on at the moment, one being a boat and another being a marionette bitter rabbit she’s eventually going to get around to painting. Both gifts!

Foraging. Sure she can easily send the servants to buy this stuff from the market, but she likes to retrieve them herself. There’s a lot of berries and edible/medicinal plants in season right now and she’s pretty happy about that. :) Mulberries galore.

Reading. Very good exercise for her brain as she’s getting a little more forgetful in her old age, so keeping it busy with things like this strengthens her mentally. At the moment she’s not only reading Frankenstein, but she’s also reading about Japan mythology! That, and about strange monsters & creatures encountered at sea, actual accounts taken down by the author of the book who interviewed many-a sailor. 

Hunting. Not only does it give her a grand excuse to get out of the manor, but she needs to keep her archery sharp and Gelert in shape. 

Summer Games. Speaking of which, she has a title to defend! Sporting events are beginning to ramp up and the Phantomhive name continues to hold first place in the Archery branch, much to the chagrin of many who try their aim & speed against the Countess And Lose. Also, the events are always a bunch of fun to take part in - she’s dragging along anyone available.

5 THINGS THINGS ON HER TO-DO LIST.

Finish the on-going "Misfortune's Way" Funtom board game with Ciel. [ Ciel: 9. Claudia: 9. Neck-to-neck. Who Will Win? ]

Continue work on the boat she's created for the Midfords. She needs to finish carving their family crest into the right side of it and hollow out the rest of the bow. So much work to be done! But four months of blood, sweat and tears are going to pay off. :)

Fix that TERRIBLY painful floorboard her foot keeps hitting. It's been on this list for about a week now. She keeps forgetting or gets sidetracked! She’s getting a bruise. :( [ have tanaka do it? no no, she lets that poor man rest now. have sebastian do it? not a chance. "Are ya daft!? I ain't about to have that damned vulture creepin' about my own private quarters." ]

Pack up Tanaka, cook some food [ avoid bard. he always offers, she always declines after he set a strawberry cobbler she requested on fire right before her own eyes, and then proceeded to catch a portion of the kitchen on fire. she was so stunned she didn’t even notice Sebastian come in and bat out the flames LMAO. ], make some tea and head out with Gelert to her favorite spot to chill in the countryside and soak up the rays of Summer. She’s been so much colder than normal lately and needs to a b s o r b s u n. It’s Summer! She shouldn’t be freezing this much! [ although it is funny to put her hand on the back of people’s necks when they complain about the heat and watch them flip ]

Commune with the Goddesses at her forest altar. Bring the landscape painting she’s done for Brigid, bring the bloodied clothes of a fallen enemy for The Morrígan.

6. What was the last thing you bought? I bought some books on Amazon because I've worked my way through my bookshelves pretty quickly during the quarantine

7. Is quarantine driving you insane or are you finally relaxed? Both? I'm finding more time to relax doing things I enjoy but the current situation is extremely stressful and it's super hard not to let that get to you. I'm also stressing about much this is disrupting my PhD because I'm entirely lab based

8. Are you a homebody? Completely. My normal quiet life has prepared me well for self isolation haha

9. What movies have you watched recently? Knives Out, Harriet and Ferris Bueller's Day Off

10. An event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled? I was going to a major conference in Germany where I would meet some of the most important researchers in my field. I had also arranged to spend a month at a lab in London to get specialist training for my PhD and I was super excited

11. What’s the worst thing that you’ve had to cancel? I'd arranged to have dinner with two school friends I haven't seen since last summer but we went into lockdown the day before we were supposed to meet up :(

12. What’s the best thing you’ve had to cancel? I was supposed to present at the most terrifying lab meeting that I had been dreading for months. I still had to present over Teams but I guess it was better than in person

13. Do you have any new hobbies? I've been teaching myself piano, I've always wanted to but never had time so I've no excuse now!

16. What shows are you watching? I've rewatched all of Brooklyn 99 so I can watch season 7. I also watched Unorthodox on Netflix and I've just started Once Upon A Time

17. What are you reading? I just finished up A Tapestry of Treason by Anne O'Brien and I'm starting Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë. Also, Jennifer Ehle is reading a chapter of Pride and Prejudice every day on her Instagram and it's the most relaxing thing ever to listen to

18. What are you doing for self-care? I set pretty clear boundaries between working from home and just being at home so I've actually been taking evenings and weekends completely off uni work to read and journal and just relax

19. Are you exercising? I'm walking. A lot. I live out in the countryside so I can walk for miles and not meet anyone. I've actually been discovering lots of cool places around my house. The best has been this old abandoned graveyard from the 1700-1800s surrounded by trees and literally full of crows. It's like something out of a horror film and I never knew it existed!

20. How’s your toilet paper supply? Totally fine! Panic buying has not really been a big deal over here after the first week or so

21. Have you made any changes to your hair during quarantine? Not yet but I'd planned to get a hair cut just before we went into lockdown so my sister is trying to convince me to let her cut it

I'll tag @pathology-studies @medustudies @problematicprocrastinator @phd-in-prog @genestudies

609

What has been the most annoying thing about your day so far? I had a blood test done for my dog last Friday and they still haven’t updated me about the availability of the results. They really shouldn’t have said “Wait within the day or tomorrow” if they weren’t going to be able to deliver their promise up to THREE days later because it’s just giving me more anxiety.  Is your computer running slow today? (Mine is, and it's annoying!!!!) No. I don’t do a lot of things with mine and it’s especially relaxed now that school’s out for Christmas and the programs I usually have on are now closed. Do you own a romper? Yes, I have a couple. Do you have a smartphone or a dumb phone, or no phone? I have a...smartphone, I guess. What popular social media platforms AREN'T you on? Instagram.

Have you ever spilled nail polish? I don’t think I have, no. What was the last thing you were stressed about? Well, since you got me talking about my dog’s blood test, then that. I’ll also be stressing over my Incomplete marks throughout the holiday break. What does your computer's slow-loading cursor look like? I don’t get it – like what shows up when my laptop kinda lags? It shows me the Mac rainbow pinwheel. Do you prefer Microsoft Word or Pages? I use Google Docs to write class notes and to work on anything acads-related. I used to use Pages, then I realized it didn’t suit me so I moved on to Microsoft OneNote, then it just traumatized me after I tried using it for my notes in Econ class which I barely passed – so I just moved on to GDocs. Would you rather have a trampoline or swimming pool? Swimming pool. I have little use for a trampoline. Are you angry at someone right now? Myself, as always. Do you ever dream of getting revenge? It’s an occasional thought just so I feel satisfied but it never gets into specifics. Do you have the same favorite colors you had when you were a kid? Mmm no. My favorite as a kid was purple, because it was my great-grandma’s favorite and a lot of her stuff was purple. When she passed, I saw it less and less and I phased it out as my favorite color. What do you like to put in your tea? I don’t like tea. What do you like to put in smoothies? There’s one smoothie that I admittedly do like; it’s called the Breakfast Smoothie from Go Salads but I dunno what’s in it so let me look it up real quick – ok so I just checked Zomato, and it consists of apple, banana, cinnamon, oats, coco sugar, chia seeds, greens, and soy milk. I don’t make smoothies myself but if I absolutely had no choice, I’d get that specific kind. Do your stuffed animals have names? I don’t even own any stuffed toys. What was the name of the first porcelien doll you got? I never had one. What would you like to paint on a rock? I’ve never thought about painting on a rock. Do you own any tapestries, and if so, what's on it/them? Nope. Do you sell any products? If so, what? No, I don’t. Am really not the business-y/entrepreneurial type, lmao. If not, do you want to start a business? See above. Have your parents ever crushed your dreams? No, they have always been accepting and supportive. Bonus points to my dad for not laughing in my face when I told him I wanted to be a runway model back when I was 12 because I WOULD HAVE. Do you own anything cheetah print? I have a hand-me-down tank top with a cheetah print but I only wear that around the house. Do you know how to knit? No, I never learned how to. We were taught knitting and crocheting in home ec but I have a very hard time learning if it’s hands-on (which also explains why I can’t do origami), so I was never able to catch up with my classmates and never got to submit final projects either. Have you ever made a collage for your bedroom wall? I did like a lettering thing of a quote made up of cut-up magazine pages when I was in high school, but I’m not sure if that counts as a collage. Do you make DIY projects and gifts? No, because I’m terrible at anything DIY. Would you ever get a tattoo? I would but it would take A LOT of courage, crying, and getting over my fear of needles lmao. Is your computer slow? Nope. The one time it noticeably lagged was when I downloaded The Sims 4 and started playing it. I quickly realized it isn’t a gaming laptop though so I had the program deleted almost immediately. What types of churches do you find really boring? All of them. Would you ever start a small group in your home? Uh, like a cult? No, that’s pretty weird. Do you have an inspiration board? No, I don’t. What do you take when your back hurts? I don’t take anything, I just change my position to one where my back won’t feel as strained. Does your back hurt right now? Not so much at the moment. What color are your nails painted? THEY AREN’TTTTTT Are you wearing a romper? I don’t wear rompers around the house lmao. Do you have a colored teddy bear? Nope. On what day is your local grocery store the busiest? I’m guessing Sunday, since everyone usually goes out on Sundays anyway. What day do you usually go grocery shopping? My mom does hers on the weekends.  Do you prefer to shop online or in stores? In stores tbh because I get to see the products before thinking about buying them, but I won’t deny that online shopping is also a lot more convenient. Do you like shopping? Looking through shelves and hangers can be overwhelming for me so no not really, but it does feel good when I’ve already bought everything I want/need haha. Do you own any band t-shirts? Just one.

Do you have an annoying neighbor? They have annoying kids, but no I don’t have issues with the neighbors. Do you have a dream? Sure. Do you own a pair of Lularoe leggings? No. Would you ever wear leggings as pants? I have before. Owls or peacocks? Peacocks, I guess? Lions or horses? Lions. Do you like getting caught in the rain without an umbrella? No. Can you still fit into kid's clothes? Kid’s clothes are hella small so I highly doubt it, but I do have a rather petite figure. Would you rather wear orange or black? Black. Is your kitchen floor black and white checkered? It isn’t. Do you own bar stools? We don’t. Who have you been told you look like? I’ve been told I look and speak like Frankie Pangilinan lmao. I also had a high school classmate who liked telling me I look like Lucy Hale but I haaaaaaardly see the resemblance. What color are your doorknobs? Gold. Do you feel like you are waiting for life to start? Now more than ever, yeah. What devotional do you read, if any? Do you own a bobblehead? Not since I was a kid. What do you make wishes on? Just candles. Do you own pastel-colored jeggings? I don’t own jeggings at all. Are you in physical pain right now? Not anymore since I got my teeth treated. So relieving. Are you in emotional distress right now? Always during the holiday season. What color nail polishes do you think are best for summer? I don’t care. What's the best natural pain reliever? Dogs and good food. Do you like trees? I’m not particularly obsessed but I do care for them, if that’s what you’re asking. Do you own a flashlight? Yeah, I have one in my car that doubles as a taser. What is your city known for? Rice cakes, a waterfall, its resorts, and being on a mountain. What is your state known for? Rizal isn’t particularly known for anything other than being near Metro Manila and large chunks of it being atop a mountain lol. What is your country known for? A murderous president, being in the news for hurricanes and floods, beaches like Palawan and Boracay, and balut, which so many people are pussies about. Do you have a church home? I don’t even know what that means. If the local mailman sent you a facebook friend request, would you accept? No. What's your favorite Paramore song? OMG ARE YOU KIDDING HAVE YOU READ THIS TUMBLR Do you like the song "Fake Happy"? YES Do you tan easily? A bit, yeah. Do you own plaid pants? Nope. What did your first Barbie doll look like? I don’t remember because I didn’t really like playing with Barbies. Do you like scrambled eggs? Love them. They’re my favorite kind of eggs, along with omelets.

gots tagged by @1amvengeance <333 thank!!

it’s supposed to be my 2018 fic writing review, but i haven’t written any trek in a long time. so i’m just gonna answer in general. i tried to answer this twice before but stopped because i was too negative lmao

Total Number of Competed Stories: hm. on ao3, it looks like it’s 18 for trek. but 3 of those are short story collections with lots of chapters. so i really don’t know

Total Word Count: total for everything i published on ao3 is 420,584. wHOA SHIT blaze it

Fandoms Written In: tos, haku//ouki, shin//sengumi!, and another fandom i’m no longer in because the creator is disgusting and i can’t deal with him

Looking back did you expect to write more fic than you thought you would this year less or about what you’d expect: this sounds ridiculous but the fact that i even posted one thing at all is amazing to me. i stopped writing for years and was so ready to delete my first trek fic the second i posted it because people are just assholes. but no one was to me here when i just jumped in out of nowhere. fuckin mvps, i literally can’t thank yall enough

What’s your own favorite story: i really don’t know. if i’m honest, i don’t like anything i wrote for trek. it’s probably because of bad feelings i’m running away from. i haven’t looked through anything i made for this fandom. if i had to rec something, i’d probably just say the Written in the Stars collection thing because it’s....apparently 67k of short stories with all random topics. ...i said “apparently” because didn’t even realize it was that long until now. well, shit.

Did you take any writing risks this year: i was originally going to say Tapestry, just because it’s 300 words of purple prosy nonsense. but then i unfortunately remembered i wrote a human!spock fic once. i’m terrified to even skim it, so i’m not linking it.

i just also had the misfortune of recalling that i wrote a military au. kjghfdsgjksdlhgsdjh

Do you have any fan fic goals for the New Year: in the long term, i would like to go back to Paths in the Starlight and finish it. that’s not happening any time soon, i’m afraid. i was feeling hella demotivated for a long time. depression, i guess? other shit, too. it’s all connected.

tbh the idea for this story came about because i wanted to share something i went through personally, just retold in a way that’d make sense in the trek universe. strangely enough, it became a reflection of strife and bad vibes in sorta current times? so im kinda reluctant to go near it. i was feeling guilt about this for a very, very long time. but now i’ve forgiven myself for letting myself take a break and i’m going to let that go on for as long as i need it to.

Best story of the year: skip

Most popular story of the year:

Fulfilling the Needs of the One (Or the Both) is my most popular story. thanks for making it so, even if it’s rife with epithets and 2014 plaidisms

Story of mine most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: the fact that any of my shit got read is amazing. thank you for your support

Most fun story to write: y’know... it was probably Without Words because i had so much fun world-building. it was like this huge mashup of d//s9 and ma//cross and my life when i lived in japan

Story with the sexiest moment: Not So Gently has like 800 words of rimming alone, that’s probably my greatest achievement of all time lmao

Sweetest story: it might be How to Love. idk

“Holy crap that’s wrong even for you!” story: i fucking sinned when i wrote a v sad 2nd person pov story about pre- and post-twok. Life Support

Hardest story to write: words are hard and writing is hell. it’s probably paths.

Biggest disappointment: obviously myself lmao

Biggest surprise: that anyone even reads my things. thank you so much again for your support. i’m sorry for disappearing into a void.

Qcard 28? If that ok? 🖖🏻

OH MY GOD I WAS HOPING FOR THIS ONE. Thanks anon! :D Sorry this has taken me a hot minute, I’m generally quite crap at life…

Welcome to your dose of Sunday evening feels. Call it dinner, because one needs a balanced, nutritional meal of angsty love at least once a day, and I am LIVING for soft Qcard tbh. #DoctorHolly (tl;dr? The word of the day is ‘bittersweet’, my friend). Y’all can blame these Expansion feelings I’m giving myself…

(Fun fact: This is something of a spiritual prequel to last week’s prompt on snowballs [http://celestialwarzone.tumblr.com/post/179725251226/qcard-and-11-it-seems-to-fit i.e. this thing], though you definitely don’t need to read that first - it’s simply the same ring we discussed there).

28. “Marry me?”

Prompt list here: http://celestialwarzone.tumblr.com/post/179662102941/send-me-a-pairing-and-a-number-and-ill-write-you

“Would you marry me, if I asked?”

“Would you marry me, if I asked?”

Across his quarters, Picard glanced up from his PADD with exasperation.Of all the ridiculous things the god had ever asked him…

“Congratulations,” he drawled. “Amongst a veritable myriad ofways to distract me that you’ve employed over the years, you’ve finally discoveredthe most absurd.”

Q leaned over the sofa, his lips curled into a frown.

“I’m being serious, Jean-Luc.”

The Captain emitted a disbelieving titter as he consulted the dutyroster he’d been working on once again.

“Now I know you’re not. When are you ever serious about anything?”

“I am perfectly serious about us, as well you know, Picard.” Q’stone was snipped, eyes hard, and his lover gave a soft sigh as his PADDvanished with a brilliant, petulant flash. Well, if the only way he couldcontinue working was by indulging him… twelve years beside him, and the entitywas still frustratingly insecure.

Then again, he certainly wasn’t offering him his full attention.He hitched upright, heading for his replicator.

“Tea, Earl Gray, hot.” It materialised with a whir. He took aconsidered sip, smiling, feeling Q’s eyes heatedly upon him. “So, where wouldwe do this? Would we perhaps hire out Ten Forward?”

He noticed Q’s vague surprise in his peripheral vision as he perused ashelf of exotic trinkets from their travels.

“I… hadn’t considered it,” he muttered, “but I’d thank you to thinkthat I have more class than your pit of drunken starship iniquity.”

Picard smirked at the carvings of an ancient vase, shaking his head.

“I’ll be sure to inform Guinan of your glowing report.”

“I’d rather you didn’t.” Q grimaced, features turning pensive. “KatiganVIII, perhaps. Ten-foot high waves of crystal upon a cornflower shore, usbeneath them in wedding finery, or whatever passes for it in Starfleet. Oramongst the ruins of Lanigo, seeing as you apparently have a distinct fondnessfor them.”

The dry observation didn’t pass up Picard, who pointedly moved to an artefactof different origin – an archaic toy, which slotted together in multipledifferent ways. He rotated it curiously, giving it his full concentration.

“You are aware, presumably, that Will would be the onboard officiant inmy absence?”

“Yet another reason we’re not doing it here,” Q growled. “I wouldrather perish than recite vows in that man’s general direction.”

The lack of conditional tense didn’t escape the observant Captain’snotice, who manipulated the puzzle with vague amusement – was he assuming hisagreement?

Two can play theteasing game, mon dieu.

“I imagine the buffet would be a culinary delight…”

“Oh, exquisite. The most delectable of canapés, caviar, Tinibriansnufflegorts, foie gras… anything French, naturally, as well as your family’sbest vintage on ice. Candles absolutely everywhere, in shades of deepestvermillion and most regal sapphire, permanently aflame. It’ll be incrediblyromantic, Jean-Luc,” he cooed.

Picard directed a curious look at a (hopefully replicated – Q hadassured him) section of the Bayeux Tapestry that had hung upon his lounge wallfor a little under two years, gaze drilling into the primitively renderedswordplay – so he had thought about this, then.

“Of course, the crew would all be invited.” His voice remained admirablylevel, verging on sarcastic – this was a spectacle, surely, nothing more thanan elaborate attempt at distracting him –

“No,” Q replied instantly. “This isn’t for them.”

A resounding clack echoed as Picard’s fingers slammed a pieceinto place with far more force than he’d intended.

He’s not – he isn’teven joking. Dear gods above…

“Oh,” Q murmured sadly. “You actually thought I was just tryingto distract you.”

Why wouldI not think –Picard strangled down his own astonishment, digits lightly shaking against theflaking wood, his tone beaten into submission to remain neutral after a fewsharp swallows.

“What would you say, Q?”

The deity paused for a moment, knowing full well that he wasn’treferring to his own shock.

“Oh, something doubtlessly trite and exuberant,” he remarked softly. “Perhapsthat I have lived for millions of years, and that I never understood theconcept of a soulmate, or maybe that I would rip apart the known universe toprotect you, and trust me, I know it inside out. It’d be along those lines,certainly.”

Tears sparkled in slate-grey eyes, Picard finally deigning to turn tohis beloved.

“Do you have any idea how terrifying that is?”

“Significantly less so than the thought of being without you, I assume.”Q was staring earnestly at him, his expression matter-of-fact.

The human took a slightly ragged breath, heart beating wildly.

“Why do you want to do this, Q?”

Q murmured a bitter half-chuckle, getting up to prise the puzzlequietly from his hands.

“Because you don’t get to stay with me forever,” he whispered. “I canbring you back, of course, but that would be dependent, and I…”

He swallowed silently, collecting himself, cursing the very idea ofthis obtuse mortal and the weakness he had spawned at his very essence.

“It would be something of a comfort to know that somehow, in spirit,you’re always going to be by my side.”

He clicked softly; the conundrum split into pieces, the fragmentsincomplete without one another, but the ultimate prize at their heart. Picard’sgaze locked to it breathlessly, enraptured; it was unmarked platinum, jetblack, sparkling with what seemed like impossibly condensed stars.

“A permanently collapsing supernova.” Q’s voice was somewhat hoarse. “Capableof invisibility when you’re in anyone else’s company – I entirely understand ifyou don’t want this made into public knowledge – and I can make it into anecklace or something, if you’d rather –”

“Q.” Picard choked his name.

“Yes, dear?” His eyes were steel with intensity.

“Ask me the damned question.”

The god nodded nervously, fingers raising; Picard caught themimmediately, gaze burning.

“No,” he requested quietly. “No pomp, no ceremony, no relocation – not evena candle, mon dieu. I’m not here to respond to my magician,simply to the one I love.”

A distant, thankfully uninhabited spiral galaxy burst into an infernoat Q’s anticipation, at the absolute delight that was this human – he was wellwithin his rights to expect the universe’s most exuberant proposal from a manwho could easily deliver it, but he was more than content to simply accept thebasic question, already knowing his exact reward. He was truly exceptional.

“Right.” He cleared his throat, trembling silently. “Do I just –”

Perhaps that galaxy was far closer than he’d assumed, because by theContinuum, was it just him or had it retroactively climbed several thousanddegrees in the previous few seconds?

“However you wish, Q,” Picard reassured gently.

A muttered relief left him – thank the stars for that. It wasall getting vastly too… sweet.

As you command,mon capitan…

A firm hand spun the Frenchman, who gaped upwards and through theexoglass of his quarters as fireworks burst into existence, spelling out asimple question: MARRY ME?

“Surely you didn’t expect me to be so basic, Jean-Luc?” Hebreathed to his ear. “Not very me, is it?”

Picard burst out laughing, utter, fond exasperation permeating to hiscore.

“You entire fool,” he whispered. “I must be insane, but yes.”

Q beamed, arms wrapping tightly around him from behind.

“Guilty as charged,” he murmured. “Thank you, dear. Now,if you’ll excuse me, at least spiritually – I was rather delighted, you see,and I’m fairly certain half the quadrant saw that. Somewhat ruins the conceptof subtlety.”

Picard shook his head with a grin, willing for once to forgive him hisindiscretion, silently basking in the majesty of the universe as he pressed awarm kiss to his beloved’s clasped hands.

Perhaps he’d entirely lost the plot, but by his god, he’d willingly acceptit for this wondrous brand of madness.

[studyfiller]

i’m about to start my 3rd year of dorm living, so i’d like to think i’m extremely qualified to tell incoming freshmen/future dorm residents how to live their lives! this is the first half of a two part series on advice for living in a dorm: PACKING.

hands down the most important thing to consider when you’re packing is DORMS ARE SMALL. the actual size/layout/quality of freshman dorms varies a ton from school to school (depending on the amount of $port$ ca$h your school gets tbh) but in general, they’re just really darn small. you don’t need that much stuff, because you just won’t be able to fit that much stuff.

i’m not going to give a full packing list because there are already a bajillion of those and you all know what towels are for, but here is a list of some dorm packing do’s and don’ts from experience.

helpful! bring it!

board games/cards - the best way to have a fun night in and make friends. you might be able to borrow games from somewhere, but they will be missing all their pieces, so bring your own to be safe. my personal faves are ticket to ride and hearts. play monopoly if you really wanna get deep in people’s psyches.

an electric kettle - lots of classic dorm convenience foods like tea, oatmeal, and ramen can be made in about 40 seconds with a kettle. i never had one before college and now i will never live without one again.

extra lighting of all kinds - i have 150 feet of string lights, a desk lamp, and a floor lamp that i use instead of literally ever turning on the disgusting fluorescent overheads. it’s so much cozier and less headache inducing.

command hooks - get a million in all sizes and put them everywhere. you probably won’t be allowed to use nails or pins, so use command hooks and strips instead. just be aware that depending on how shoddily constructed your room is, they can take chunks of paint or drywall with them when you take them off.

a fan - you will probably not have any control over your room’s temp. your room will never, ever be the temperature you want it to be. dorms can be surprisingly hot year round, especially in older buildings with weird insulation.

stuff to make your bed comfy - if you splurge on anything for your dorm, it should be your mattress topper. dorm mattresses feel like plywood. also blankets, pillows, etc. you will spend most of your time in/on your bed, so make it cozy!

a corkscrew - wikihow is lying to you, it is unbelievably difficult to open a wine bottle without a corkscrew. the shoe thing does not work.

not helpful! don’t bother!

extra furniture - you will not have room. you will not use it. the furniture that comes with the room is fine. if you have guests they will not sit on your very cute ottoman, they will just sit on your nice comfy school-provided bed.

expensive bedding - when i say you will spend most of your time in bed i mean it. that means eating, drinking, studying, probably brushing your teeth at some point. your bedding will inevitably get all kinds of shit on it, which is fine when it was $30 at target and less fine when it was $300 from anthropologie or wherever.

any decor that can’t be hung up - i mean any. mayyybe bring one or two sentimental trinkets from home, but you will want to reserve the majority of your space for storage. random shit you bought because it’s cute will just turn into unwanted clutter. shelf space is an important commodity and you shouldn’t fill it up with fake succulents or whatever. the one exception i will give you is posters/photos/tapestries/wall stuff that doesn’t eat up space.

stuff with only one purpose - random gadgets like fabric steamers or keurigs just won’t get used as much as you think they will, and they take up space. also a key part of college life is figuring out how to diy stupid and slightly dangerous solutions to everyday problems (you don’t need a keurig for k cups, all you need is a sharp knife and a willingness to pour boiling water on your fingers!)

above all, don’t overthink it! remember that there are stores at school too. it’s better to underpack a little and pick stuff up as you need it than to bring everything you think you might ever need and then have nowhere to put it all.  i live 2000 miles from my school, and i brought two suitcases from home and did not buy anything except sheets until the day before orientation, and i was fine. every dorm (and every student) is different, and you won’t necessarily know what you really need and can fit until you see the space.

stay tuned for the next installment, COMMUNAL LIVING!

[fedonciadale]

Do you think it is possible that the ending is that dany died saving the realm, has a baby, and sansa raise her child with jon. I hate that ending because it makes sansa again as the second choice, i really want sansa to married for love...just once

(2) I think it is important that jon and sansa married for love and not just for political reasons, i know many believe it will be a political marriage but in my opinion for they to accept thay need to have feeling for each other, it is like bran was the one that is a targaryen prince, and now sansa needs to marry bran, it will never happen because for sansa, bran is her brother and even if it’s a good plan, none will accept, just imagine if sansa dies, then jon needs to marry arya, and i doubt jon

(3) Would want to marry his little sister, especially in the show. and even if they accept a political marriage it would be different that with catelyn and ned, because although they didn’t loved eachother they didn’ think that they were siblings, jon and sansa will always feel strange it is just only political marriage. It is important that they have feelings for each other as lovers            

Dear nonny (or nonnies - I’m not sure if these were different asks). I would love if Sansa can marry for love! You know, back in ACOK when Margaery suggested she’d marry Willas, she was desperate to get her husband to like her, and even in her chapter in AFFC you still get the feeling, that she would just like to have a loving husband. The match wouldn’t need to be an advantagous political match, not for Sansa anyway. If she would finde a hedge knight who said he would marry her because he loves her, he would have a good chance of persuading her, even disenchanted as she is now.

And I do think, that there is a good chance for that as well. Even if Da€nerys gets pregnant and births a child (two big ifs) and even if Sansa would raise that child, it wouldn’t necessarily mean that she is second choice. I mean, Jon and D had sex, so a baby could be the result. There are arguments that the story would go full circle, if Sansa raises Jon’s child, somehow correcting the mistake Catelyn made by not loving Jon. And in this case it would indeed be her husband’s bastard. I think, I could even live with that, if it is perfectly clear, that Jon loved no other woman but Sansa. He still thinks Sansa is not meant to be his, remember. I would prefer that not to happen, but you know, there must be something bitter in the bittersweet ending. In my rare discussions with Jon€rys shippers I ask them what exactly would be ‘bittersweet’ about Jon€rys on the throne in the end - apart from the fact that for me (and I would argue for Jon) that scenario would only be bitter, but I digress.

So, if we have Jon and Sansa marry for love, there must be some bitter pill. This could be that Jon dies (NOOOOO) or it could indeed be a baby, but a baby that Sansa grows to love. I’d prefer it to be a girl tbh, because that would make it more easy for Sansa, I think. Possibility three for a bittersweet ending would be that Jon is in love with D, she dies and he slowly heals after a political marriage to Sansa and learns to love her. I think from all these scenarios I prefer the one with the baby. ‘Bittersweet’ could be something else of course, something not Jonsa-related, Winterfell could be gone, and Jon and Sansa would have to live in the detested King’s Landing, but together (not likely though, Sansa is foreshadowed to rebuild Winterfell). It could also mean that Jon loses an eye. Anyway we have to expect something we won’t like.

As for the love between Jon and Sansa, I have to expand a little. You know, I think that Jon is the hero of ASOIAF. GRRM hides this well, he hides Jon behind a vast cast, behind several other hero characters (Ned in the first book), he even lets him die, just so we won’t suspect. On the other hand, he lays the grounds for the hero’s relationship and displays a tapestry of possibilities. I would argue that there are foreshadowings for J0nerys, for J0nrya and for Jonsa, but that only one will come to pass as endgame. The foreshadowing for J0nerys is mostly done through parallels, so that the casual reader would get a feeling that both their storylines must converge at the end. And there are some hints (Val as a stand-in for example). But if you look closely at the parallels they are not parallels. Da€nerys’ arc mirrors Jon’s (thanks @occupyvenus, for talking with me about that) but in the end they are juxtaposed not paralleled. Back, when I read the second book, I came to the conclusion that J0nerys would happen and was very depressed about that (I’ve disliked D for quite some time).

As for J0nrya, Jon has the closest bond to his little sister-cousin, and if Da€nerys is his mirror, Ar*a is the girl the hero constantly thinks about. And this deep bond could be foreshadowing as well. I can’t see how this sibling bond would smoothly transfer to a love of a different quality, but in the books it is built up as a very important relationship, that could point towards endgame. Back, when I looked at the seemingly converging storylines of Jon and D and was depressed about that I stumbled upon the original outline, but J0nrya did not convice me either, although there are so many incest teases in Jon’s storyline. To me it sounded better then J0nerys, but I wasn’t convinced. I simply decided that although I liked none of the alternatives, I would read the well-written books anyway.To me ASOIAF was never solely about shipping. In the show there was absolutely no hint of the deep bond of Jon and Ar*a and the fact that they constantly think about each other is simply not visualised in the show. So, I think, J0nrya won’t be endgame, because it is not done in the show, and the they promised us, that they would reach the same destination in the end.

All the while, I was totally oblivious to the possibility of Jonsa.

Indeed it took me quite some time to even detect the third possibility for Jon. It was only with season 6 that the possibility struck me and I searched for explanations for the fact that my mind had come up with this solution. And I discovered all those lovely Jonsa meta and was flabbergasted. It all fell into line for me then, my discomfort with the seemingly converging lines of J0nerys, my inability to picture a transformation of Jon and Ar*a’s relationship. It helped that I like Sansa, and that I want a Stark restoration at the end.

Now I have come to the conclusion that Jonsa is happening, because Sansa is the girl next door, that was there the whole time and in the end the hero returns and realises that she is the girl for him. Jonsa is happening, because Jonsa is not about parallels or feelings that are already there, but is is about the fact that we have two people who complement each other. Jonsa is the third possibility for GRRM’s hero and he hides it well. He only gives us pieces of a puzzle form the POVs of Jon and Sansa, and only if you look at the edges of these pieces you realise that they fit. It is the foreshadowing that is hidden the best and that for me is the reason why I think it is so highly likely that it will happen and that it is so highly likely that it will be deep and romantic love.

And once the puzzle is set, it will convince the readers, because GRRM prepared for that. This is also the reason why some J0nerys and J0nrys shippers absolutely refuse to acknowledge that Jonsa is a possibility, because the other two are more in the open. I actually doubt, one of them ever read the famous metas that have been around since 2013.... They just refuse to acknowledge that there is a basis for the ship in the books.

This is the actual footage of what will happen in the brains of the readers once Jonsa happens!

Okay, I have a lot of thoughts on Black Panther and I don’t want this to turn into a humongous essay, so I’m just going to list stuff I liked and thought was so great about it even though it wasn’t perfect (still great and so deep though):

The extravagant and lush visual aesthetics (WAKANDA!!!! The clothes and hairstyles. The colors. EVERYTHING)

The cast is so strong...and so beautiful

THE TECHHHHHHHH OH MY GOD! OHHHHHHH MY GOD! THE SUITS. THE “SNEAKERS” (I LOVE YOU, SHURI). THE NECKLACES. THE KIMOYO BEADS. THE SHIELDS. THE HEALING BED. THE CAR AND PLANE CONTROLLED FROM THE LAB. EVERYTHING!

Such a great score that sets Black Panther completely apart from the rest of the MCU and 99.99999% of studio movies

Inspiration drawn from a rich tapestry of African cultures

Multiple languages (look, some of their accents were...not that strong tbh, but yoooo, they spoke in Xhosa! And Korean! Lupita’s accent made me cringe so hard because it was really bad, but she tried and she spoke a lot more lines of Korean that I would have expected. Ad as someone who always sees Asian people and Asian countries depicted in a certain type of way, I was 1) flattered by what I just said, 2) surprised that the Busan scenes lasted as long as they did (I thought they’d pull an AoU where we saw two seconds of Seoul), and 3) excited that they showed different glimpses of Busan. Ryan picked Busan because AoU got Seoul and he wanted something different and wanted something similar to Wakanda in terms of that balance between being grounded in tradition while being futuristic and thought Busan was perfect.

An African country untouched by white colonialism that’s extremely advanced in every way possible

A discussion about the African diaspora and in this case specifically, the difference between African Americans and Africans? WHAT?!?! A MAJOR TENTPOLE FILM DID THAT! So important because people just lump black people together, but there’s a sense of displacement and loss, an identity struggle, and a lot of generational and historical trauma that a lot of African Americans feel (and Afrolatinos, Afro-Caribbeans, etc.). And Ryan and Chadwick talked about how they thought this movie would resonate beyond black people—and it is, considering how well it’s doing here and abroad (did you see the records they’re breaking? TRUST ME, it’s even more impressive if you go back and see what industry estimates were before the movie came out even when pros were accounting for all the hype and how historic this movie is)—and yeah, this was the part that really got to me and I’m sure that it did for a lot of people who live hyphenated existences because they’re from an immigrant family. Erik being seen as “lesser than” in the U.S. and being seen as an outsider and “not one of them” in Wakanda even though he’s both American and Wakandan...bruh, that was REAL. I mean, thankfully I’ve never had to deal with anything super bad, but if you don’t talk like them and you don’t act like them? I know friends whose relatives frowned upon them because they weren’t ____ enough and they were “too” American when they’re treated as inferior over here. But going back to the African diaspora thing, this is especially important because I feel like people don’t assume African Americans go through this as well (unless they get all racist and shout “Go back to Africa!”). I don’t know. It’s important for black people to see that on screen, for me as a non-black person to see that, and for other non-black people to see that this is a thing too.

The pain that black people suffered at the hands of white people being addressed and more importantly, being shown as something that not only continues to have a massive effect on how black people are treated currently, but also something that STILL continues to be a thing albeit in different forms (so so so brilliant to start the movie off in 1990s Oakland with N’Jobu after the monologue).

The criticism of colonialism, American imperialism (past AND current (Erik is not only a product of that, but he carried it out too)), slavery, xenophobia, and isolationism. 

The timeliness of BP when there’s a refugee crisis, racism is running rampant, xenophobia is a big thing, etc. and BP shows that, no, you can’t just shut yourself behind walls because people are suffering and if you can do something about it, then YOU SHOULD because otherwise you’re complicit (NAKIA WAS RIGHT)

GENDER EQUALITY. They don’t make a big deal out of it! The women are equal to the men and it’s just the way it is. And all of those women? None of them are generic Strong Women. They’re all so distinct in their own ways, and they play such big, meaty roles. Honestly, I’d go as far as saying that they actually outshone T’Challa. T’Challa literally “died” for a good while and I didn’t even miss him because the female characters were written so well and were so important to the story that it was their story too. I remember thinking in the theater what it would be like if any of the other solo movies did that and was mindblown because it would be SUCH A BALLSY THING TO DO. Never mind the women thing, it’s super risky to do that to your main character whom the film is about in general. But BP DID THAT. And it was all the more amazing because the characters who carried the film were black women. I’ve never seen such a balanced act before.

SO MANY WOMEN TOO. I’ve never seen so many women in one MCU film before. Same goes for the Netflix side of things (and uh, if you think Jessica Jones is the show with the best female representation, I disagree with you because Luke Cage exists and did better on female representation than JJ, don’t @ me)

Speaking of women, omg okay, I can’t pick a favorite character because is it Shuri? Is it Nakia? Okoye? (And then there’s M’Baku and T’Challa...and everyone....why is this cast so amazing???!?!!?!) 

Also, with Shuri, I love how you see the friction between tradition and modernity. What a super young POC experience. Really loved the contrast between her and some of the others who put a lot of value in customs and cultural values. Like the way she got fussy over her traditional clothes, the way she got bored with the ceremony? It made me laugh and think about some people I knew growing up. I don’t think they’ll ever get around to it because it’s not important to the story, but it’ll be interesting to see how the scales go back and forth on that for her. 

Speaking of traditions, I love the conversation on respecting them, but recognizing that there has to be change and there has to be progress because the previous generation failed (and it’s on the youth to not rectify the mistakes, but to surpass the previous generation and be better than them) and people got left behind and hurt in the process.

And omg I was worried that Everett Ross would play a bigger role than he actually did, so I’m so relieved at how he was essentially a plot device (same with Klaue). I didn’t think Ryan and co. would want to make him play a big role, but I didn’t know how much Marvel pushed for Ross to be in it. I was surprisingly not irritated by him and ended up liking him enough, mainly because he showed up very little and mainly because of the way he was treated in Wakanda. Lmao forever at “Don’t scare me like that, colonizer!” and M’Baku just shutting him up and judging him at every turn.

LOL I SAID I WAS GOING TO TRY TO KEEP THIS SHORT, BUT OBVIOUSLY I FAILED SO I’M GOING TO STOP HERE. THIS IS THE MOST POLITICALLY CHARGED, DEEP, AND UNIQUE MARVEL FILM EVER AND IT’S SO GREAT! I CAN’T BELIEVE WE GOT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE MCU.
