#thank u kalli !!!!

[sunlitscribe]

For a character of your choice, whoever you're feeling most lol 🥵, 💪, 👃, 💋, 💞 anndd 🔥

thank you!! shamelessly copying you bc i will also do my elijah oc since im on my tvdu bullshit once again

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

🥵 : Is your OC perceived as physically attractive to others? Is it at first glance or is it something that takes more time to reach fruition?

yes, i would think so. probably the intimidating sort of attraction, kallista spent a lot of years creating an appearance for herself to be beautiful albeit unapproachable, or rather, untouchable

💪 : What is your OC’s most physically attractive attribute? 

it depends on who you ask honestly, but if you ask me it would be her smile, not the one she gives to everyone, but her true smile that doesn't show itself very often

👃 : Does your OC smell good? Do they have a signature scent?

usually, yes, she smells like strawberries and lillies and occasionally the smell of metal aka blood

💋 : Is your OC a good kisser? How do they do it?

before she got married? hell no, she was very touch adverse and uninterested in anything sexual including kissing. but she's definitely had more practice after an millennia of being married.

for the rare times she's sexually frustrated, it's all mostly about pulling the most noises out of her lover, pleasing them, asserting control over the situation.

when she's softer so are her kisses, less tongue and teeth. she kisses like she’s trying to gently pour all of her love into you with just a tentative touch of her lips on yours.

💞 : Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?

she views it as something with a lot of emotional weight, and prefers to know a person before she’s interested in them sexually. before her marriage, there was no one who actually was patient and understanding of her feelings and desire or lack there of

🔥 : What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered?

verbal communication for sure, which is funny way to get flustered but she’s used to people beating around the bush with their feelings towards her, platonically or not. so when you’re verbally saying what you’re feelings are for her, she absolutely melts at not only the honesty but the vulnerability of everything. she rarely let’s herself be vulnerable, it’s like offering someone her heart and handing them a dagger and someone doing that so openly …

she’s spent so much of her life hiding her feelings and getting the same in return, so it really means a lot to her.

speaking of bothering you, sooooo,

you've been back for a month? how's that been?

"Ah. Your curiosity has yet to relent, I see."

"Give or take a week or so, yes. It's been largely uneventful, since I've not yet had a particularly compelling reason to leave the hive... I did not ask to be brought back to life, so I've not yet gathered what I want to do with this second chance."

"Well. I do have goals. Just no methods to achieve them yet."

It came after the Better Days event because Paige was at Rae’s home with Kallie Rock (there are clips of them hanging out) and they were laughing and joking around. The block/unfollowing came weeks later. Rae trying to holler seems absolutely plausible but we will never know. If Paige gets drafted by the Sparks and Rae subsequently gets traded, then you’ll know it was something major.

Gotchaaa, I remember seeing one of their stories but wasn’t sure when it was lol, thank u!

But yeaa…if LA Sparks changes happens thennn 🫣 Ain’t no way there not gonna try to keep their star happy. But, tbh they might just have to deal w it and be professional 😭😭

[caluski]

@moldavite tagged me to post my current music faves (thank u kalli a big fucking MWAH goes out to u in this gloomy april evening) so yay!!! i love posting spotify links of course... more belowww. trying so hard for everyone to only post things i havent shared before... trying!!

obviously justice is on repeat - both incognito and saturnine, but im putting here incognito bc it does have the coolest intro and outro everrr like ouuughhhh like justice goes so fucking hard when they choose to have some retro synths................ actually have you listened to planisphere today? you should (talking to everyone)

i havent actually talked about my thoughts on khruangbins new album... which is obviously good but i simply didnt have the time to get into it :/ ive been hoping to give it a good listen, no skips no nothing, on a day off but work has been kicking my ass a bittt... anyway! Pon pón is fun. it came out as a single few weeks back and ive gotten really into it.... sooooo groovy

vampire by sholto is what some of you might recognize from love and food playlist? but ohhhhhh fuckkkkkkk its so good. i dont even know this guy and i didnt think much of it other than "yeah its cool" when i added it to my library. such a great and sinister feeling jazzy number.... AND WHEN THE SAX HITS!!!!!!!!! thats so good. please listen to vampire.

more radio pop!!!!! MORE MAINSTREAM KEVIN PARKER!!!!!!!! i do love tame impala's older/more niche sound just as much as i love him "selling out" (whatever, i will defend his minions and elvis tracks until i die and i will MEAN it) so i am STILL excited for this album even though the roll-out of singles has been consistently awful. but i guess dua lipa is a slow riser always (however long did it take her to peak on charts with 'dont start now'???). plus obviously DANNY!!!!!! YAY FOR DANNY!!!!!

its been a really good spring so far, with so many of my faves releasing music, and obviously that includes sebastian. i remember watching the runway show this was made for, but for some reason i didnt hear the whole track - maybe it was just highlights or something? i really love the synths in this one. its unusual for him to bring the choral singing in the start instead of the climax of the track, but its really well done (as always)! i wish, i wiiiiiiiiish there was something happening about the new album, too.

charli's really being weird recently about everything but goddddddd this slaps so good. im usually not that big on gesaffelstein but i do love ag cook so much. its going to be such a good clubbing record like literally.... its crazy she STILL gets labeled hyperpop. i also like club classics, but b2b is TRULY superior out of this double drop....

the beat of this one is just stuck in my head at all times. its cute! fun! perfect for spring. theyre soon to release their debut album, i need to remember to check it out. while its not SOTY material so far, its just cool and pleasant.

more dance sounds - i like this one a lot! really catchy. ive never really been into 1tbsp but yeahhhhh with this one, i get it.

ok i for sure posted this one before, but its ok bc it got like 0 or 1 likes or something. starwolf is a band im really hopeful for!!!! their 2020 album was pretty interesting, but its their three last singles that got my ears all perked up. some daytime disco vibes in them, and its really cool considering i was somewhat.... underwhelmed by poolside's last album. so, i feel good about starwolf now! fingers crossed for summer, as it would be a perrrrrrrfect record to replay over and over during hot sunny days.

and SUUUUUUUUUUUCHHHHHHHHH a spring favorite for the end. kind of getting lost in this one.... number one song i keep thinking of during sweet sunny walks recently. unbelievably cute. 10000% recommend.

[applesandbannas747]

same anon as before but thank u for the interesting response! and i’m sorry in advance for this long venting lol, but honestly i’m just really frustrated because i think fence could be as popular and mainstream as projects like check please or heartstopper if 1) there was good marketing for it, 2) if the releasing of the issues wasn’t so puzzling, and 3) if the storyline was progressing in a natural way.

rise makes no sense in context of the novels at all and im just? if they were going to have tie-in novels they should have been used to progress character and relationship development, not create an alternate world that’s never going to be addressed. even putting aside gross mischaracterization the novels literally cannot be canon so they’re just published for? no good reason i can see? they could have prequels (seiji and jesse or harvard and aiden pre-series) or been about the team bonding/getting better at fencing, or focused on side characters that won’t get as much focus in the comics (eugene! if he’s mostly being side-lined in the comics the novels could have been his time to shine instead of him being even more sidelined. or even bobby and dante or kally and tanner). there’s definitely a lot of characters in the comics and if it was getting overwhelming the novels could have picked up that slack but they didn’t so their purpose mystifies me — there was also clearly no reason to have nicholas and seiji as pov characters in those books because srb (and i do adore all srb’s other work so this is hard for me to say) was terrible at writing them. when she was good she was good (which makes me think if there had been more editing the novels could have been better) but when she was bad she was very very bad. since she was even worse at writing eugene i guess i should be glad eugene didn’t have a pov. but seriously if the novels were mainly just haiden it could have just been haiden pov.

idk i just used to love fence so much and always noticed there was never a huge following for it, which is okay because the small fence fandom is great!! but i’ve always thought it could have had a bigger audience. there is so much promise in the first issues of fence — kings row competing against exton, the revelation of the truth about nicholas, the reactions and results from that, character development for all the main characters, relationship development for nichoji & haiden, the team actually Becoming a team & the idea of seiji nicholas and eugene being the fencing team after aiden and harvard graduate. but i feel like we’re never going to see any of that. page time is spent on things that aren’t as important instead, and then it takes ages for the next issue/volume and like you said it doesn’t feel coherent or connected to the other issues anymore. it confuses me that all the edges in fence r being sanded down and that the interesting promises in it are constantly being put off.

i’m sorry for talking about this sm i have not been successful in getting anyone into fence irl 😭 i hadn’t read rise or the novels until this month and i reread vol 1-4 before i read the new stuff and it made me very nostalgic

Hi again! lmfao dude no need to ever apologize to me for vents about Fence because I am forever pontificating about it. I agree that Fence has (or, rather, had) the potential to be really popular to a wide audience and I think you hit the nail on the head. And so much of it is just such easy fixes--like putting any effort into marketing lol or when releasing the compiled issues as volumes, giving them all distinct covers and names would have been SO helpful. Reusing the issue covers for the volumes was a mistake (and again, that's something marketing should have been all over!!). and the storyline. oh man. yeah. that ship has sailed and I've had mental breakdowns about it--but if we'd stayed true to the original concept of Fence and BOOM and Pacat put more effort into reaching a wider audience, it could have been big. Another consideration here, of course, is the content-to-hiatus ratio, which loses a ton of fans, but I maintain that if BOOM had their shit together, they could have fixed that problem too! and it's so frustrating

GOD RIGHT??? The novels came in, ruined Fence, and then aren't even actually canon because they don't actually fit in the universe??? My theory is that since Pacat is a SRB superfan, he kind of let her go overboard and realized after the novels were published and he had to move his story forward post-Disarmed that he'd fucked up giving so much freedom to her. Because they called it canon--and he still says it's '80% canon' but it couldn't have happened. So the point of the novels was basically for Pacat to read fanfiction from his favorite author of his OCs--it did nothing positive for the story, the characters, the franchise, or the fans. and LITERALLY!!! I've always thought doing a prequel for the tie-ins made more sense. Like following the fencing team with Harvard, Aiden, Kally, and Tanner would have been so fun, or focusing on Kally and Tanner or Bobby and Dante would have been fun and would have left room for actual plot progression!! It was pure selfishness on the authors' part to do the novels how they did them. And if Pacat would father fangirl over SRB than write a meaningful story, that's his right, but it still bugs me that there was clearly no thought given to the consequences of the novels. So instead of dealing with them, we ignore them and pretend that they're still '80% canon' to make ourselves feel better for our oopsie. hahaaa I have nothing nice to say about SRB or her writing. I don't think she got anything right in Fence--except for hinting Eugesse, which you know she only did because she knew it was popular in the fandom and she wanted the hype and baited us with it lmfao But! I've always had issues with her even before she touched Fence--her blatant sexism in In Other Lands was disturbing to me when I read it (shaming and looking down on feminine traits isn't Woke or Revolutionary just because you assigned those traits to men in your "badass feminist society" and had all the women be grossly sexist and predatory) so it's not just me being an asshole because she ruined my favorite thing in the world <3 But I know she's very beloved among her fans and I'm sorry that she failed you in Fence when you love her other works so much. If there was one mercy from the novels, it was the lack of a Eugene POV even if it further proves he's not really part of the team/a main character...unfortunately that's a fair trade jkdfah

I always thought Fence deserved a bigger following than it ever got--and maybe having a bigger fanbase and more money being thrown at it would have helped BOOM commit to buying enough ahead to let Pacat and Jo actually work on it consistently and put out content more regularly. It really was setting itself up to be so fun and full of tropes the gays LOVE. i mean, sports 'manga' that's actually queer? All the fun tropes with rivals and 'becoming a team'? The classic character archetypes used smartly and effectively? I genuinely think it would have appealed to all the people who love Check Please and Heartstopper and Yuri on Ice. And it still does, I guess, but I feel like if Fence gets popular now, I'd be a bit sad to see all that love centered around a version of Fence I don't like (but that is pure selfishness lmfao I fully admit it). I just so love/d all the edges and conflicts in Fence and it's sad to see them sanded down in canon and resolved of screen.

LMFAO my dude I am sorry for rambling so much at you twice in a row now! Anyway, I'm always here to talk Fence uwu even though i can be harsh and unpleasant about things i don't like jskdfha

post editing note: holy fuck this got long so it's getting a keep reading tab LMFAO

williams just really s u c k s in this volume and i??? do not know if it's bc srb fucked up her character so bad that even williams's creator fucked up or what. truly am just so angry about it in all types of ways

yes! i think he's def the type to not be open about what he's feeling with his friends. so it makes sense that he's forcing a smile. but remember when in redemption aiden found out that harvard has a date with marcel?

or when nick in rivals during the seiji&jesse match upon seeing robert&jesse, gets this moment?

or even when kyle in redemption gets three pages to explain the background of his relationship to jesse?

the reason i bring these all up is because pacat has given comicbook real estate to so many moments that aren't nichoji OR nick/seiji by themselves. i don't have vol 1-4 on my phone so i can't check but i'm sure there's more from earlier on in the series. pacat and jo are willing to set aside time and pages for us to see the personal reactions of characters like nick (obv) but also aiden and kyle (who, as much as i LOVE him, wasn't even a character we cared about till redemption). why does eugene, there since the early issues, not get even a page by himself?? why do we have to assume he's staying strong for nick? for his team? idk i just think it's ridiculous.

if eugene was the main character of fence, i SO would not have him tell momma labao that he's off the team till much later when he's at the very end of what he can take. bc yeah, his mom worked hard to get him where he is and he doesn't want to disappoint her (and she would ofc assure him that he could never disappoint him). but eugene isn't the main character so instead i gotta grumble about the character arc eugene COULD have. but anyway, i do agree with you on that! but i don't think pacat cares enough about him to even remember that eugene has a support system in his family lmao

him not having a reaction there makes sense i agree- and i think the one he did have makes sense given the situation (though i have my thoughts on what bobby said but i won't detail them here). it's kind of, as i detailed above, that eugene doesn't get any sort of page space to have some emotions in private. everything we know about eugene -- how he feels, how he reacts to other people, what he thinks -- is all in the context of other characters. it just feels like basic courtesy to a character who has been there since early issues to let him have emotions outside of other characters. so i'm upset with this sequence because i think this subdued reaction is all we're going to get because eugene doesn't exist outside of the fencing team and its adjacents (which? RIP KALLY AND TANNER??? they really got plot relevance in vol 1-3 and that's IT). maybe i'm just not making sense but it feels so??? wild to me??? that eugene doesn't get one damn panel where we see him by himself, processing this by himself.

YEAH LIKE COME ON NICK WHAT IN THE WORLD 😭😭😭 i just can't spin this in any positive light on nick like that was just Terrible Friend Behavior. i wish i had your optimism that eugene will get proper character exploration in 2025 but i just. really doubt it. it's so obvious to me he's a second thought to fence (i.e. ALL OF REDEMPTION???, 0 eugene POVs in srb's stuff and marketing). i don't think pacat even....cares enough about him outside of comic relief and to make nick look better. i have a feeling that next issue is going to be jesse, seiji, & nick centric with maybe some haiden development/resolution as a sidebar. i would be highly surprised if eugene gets mentioned in a way that isn't comedic relief or to support the kr team. basically, this is all we're getting on eugene for long shot. hopefully i'm wrong but at this point, fool me once shame on you but fool me twice shame on me lmao.

anyway, thank you for letting me blabber further about this guy. sorry about the paragraphs in response ajfhf i always have more to say than i think i do 😭

don't very often come into the tag to post my thoughts unprompted, but finished challengers and. eugene.

what did pacat do to him.

i already wasn't expecting great things just based on the preview where eugene, my poor boy, just gave a weak thumbs-up at getting benched. but i had faith and hope as foolish as it was.

like, you're telling me that eugene labao who spent years working to get on the fencing team, every year told his mom "this will be the year", and gave a training camp his all just. gives a forced smile at being booted off the team for state?? what?? if pacat wanted to go with a eugene that cares more about the team than his personal resume, fine. okay. but eugene is allowed to be more upset. he should be. he was given everything he dreamed of by williams saying that they could have two reserves, and now it's gone. i don't care how much a team-player you are, that's devastating. especially as a high school junior (in america and australia i GUESS). if you want to go to college for fencing, i imagine the state competition is a great way to get scouted. also, you miss out on fencing with your teammates for the last or second-to-last time. getting benched as a freshman sucks but you got some more years in your high school career. but eugene's a junior, this is his first year on the team, so now he's fencing state maximum once. that's just a cruel stab in the back by williams, genuinely. he should have been given time to be upset onscreen whether it was privately or with friends.

which then, what the fuck williams. you literally said that you could have two reserves- that you FOUGHT for two reserves- and all the sudden eugene can't compete. i never did high school fencing and maybe things are different in australia, but that seems a little ridiculous to me. like wtf did the higher-ups tell her? "yeah you can have two reserves for one competition but that's it" ???????????????? did pacat have an experience like this or something bc i have no clue how that's a logical train of thought a high school sports organizer can have. i will admit that one could argue she's competitive and wants to win. like sure but then why have a second reserve. could she not decide and was always planning to cut nick or eugene depending on who did better at the camp? what kind of coach is that?? none of the other coaches did that - not even donati and she is neck to neck with williams in this rivalry. it doesn't matter how much she wants king's row to have this gold medal- if williams was intentionally doing any of this, uncaring of whether or not she hurts one of the fencing boys, she should not be a coach actually. period. again, i love early fence williams. but oh my god the way she handled this was so bad.

which then brings me to: what is the point of eugene.

i love eugene, he has been one of my favorite characters since 2020 when i first read volumes 1-3. he is one of the reasons why i get so excited about fence and makes me so happy as a character. but honestly? you could cut eugene out of fence and nothing would change. i know he's not haiden or nichoji, but he was put there for a reason that i think pacat forgot. he never has any signficant screentime unless it's to be comedic relief or be a supporting character to nick, the other "underdog" on the fencing team. i really do hate to say it, but reading challengers really made me wish pacat had written out eugene sooner or not written him at all. he's not treated well as a character, and at this point, i don't understand why eugene is even in this story.

another point i want to make is nick. what the hell is wrong with nick. you're telling me that the same nicholas "zero" cox who was about to give up his scholarship and chance to fence so that eugene, a guy he barely knew at the time, could finally be on the team is the same nicholas who only says "but coach--" when eugene gets kicked off the team? that is a terrible friend. i'm not saying nick should have said "i'm not going to state if eugene isn't!!" but he should have called williams out on it, found eugene later and say "dude i'm so sorry this sucks" -- literally ANYTHING!!! but no, nick bever acknowledges it outside of this panel and is too busy at state apparently to notice eugene being bummed about, you know, not fencing with him. it's so, insane to me that nick became this person that doesn't bother checking in on his bro. that tells me he's more concerned about fencing and seiji - which to each his own but i would drop anyone who did me like that. can't even manage a "how r u doing" text what the actual fuCk. i can not stress enough how much i do not like this nick right now.

in conclusion: i need eugene to have a good cry with his mom or his bros about this bullshit and to eat so much good arroz caldo. please save my son from the narrative, it keeps being mean to him :(((
