It's genuinely wild to me how we managed to equate criticizing a game we are disappointed in with entitlement and gamedev harassment.
It's fine to have negative emotions about art somebody else made and express those emotions. It's literally fine. It's fine to disagree on what brings value to something and what doesn't (imho that matters WAYY much than complaining about bugs or fps drops or whatever, which are, on the other hand, always welcomed criticisms even though they are like the level 0 of game criticism but ok). Doesn't mean the companies have to cater to the fans or their opinion (what would that even mean), but passively taking anything made and only ever being allowed to express nuanceless joy is such a strange attitude to encourage? Disagreement is not bad! Conflict isn't bad! Conflict of opinion is not only inevitable; it can even be done respectfully!
also do people realize the first haters of a game are generally the gamedevs themselves --do you have any idea how hard the rants go when we got out for a beer after particularly spicy review cycles???? I'm literally incapable of stopping once I begin to rant about many game I worked on
Tumblr media
made this for twitter since most people here that engage with my totk rants are the like-minded people my rants are intended for but i thought its kinda funny too and maybe it clears something up for anyone potentionally confused why i rant so much about it
#thoughts#totk#totk critical#gamedev#tbh it's not the popular gamedev opinion#I'm at odds with a lot of colleagues in that regard#there's this sort of blanket solidarity especially among AAA devs#that I doooon't love?#like sometimes the game you worked on kinda sucks on X and Y and it's fine it's not your fault#it doesn't even say something about you even if you thought it was fine sometimes we disagree on value once again#it's like a circle of protection to ward off the angry gamerbois in the mentions#I find it a little unproductive?#but also#it's SOO weird to have your work flattened in the public eye into very basic arguments that often miss the point#or couldn't possibly know that the Problem Thing is already a compromise on a MUCH worse version#that took everything out of the team so it wouldn't be as catastrophic and you burned out twice for this etc#so it's really hard to detach yourself emotionally#but#I personally don't like this culture of denial that sometimes what you make isn't great#or that it came from a shallow place because AAA demands or directorial blandness or whatever#again: don't fucking @ individual gamedevs or even companies (aka community managers) to complain that's rude and useless#there's spaces for opinions that are not construed as an attack (like tumblr for example!)#and of course argumentary critiques are always more valuable#again: sometimes we use players' well constructed complains are support pieces to push for actually making things better!#because sometimes devs are not heard but the consumers can be if they are not being assholes about it#it's complicated#(sorry for the novel in the tagssss againnn)

sticky fingers ellie williams
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
read this
synopsis: you and your best friend got popsicles on a hot day, but ellie finishes hers first.
cw: swearing, dialogue heavy at first, homoerotic friendship i fear, hinted themes, dirty minded hoes who act oblivious, a whole lotta mouth and tongue but no nothang but slighhhhhttttlyyy nsfw.
a/n: idk what this is it just came to me as i had a popsicle in the morning lmao... i js missed writing.
you're walking home with one of best friends, ellie, after a day at the park. it was a boring and oppressively hot day. you had bought yourselves ice lollies to help survive the sultry weather.
"is it good?" ellie speaks, pointing to your yellow popsicle.
"yeah, ellie, it's good." you say, matter-of-factly.
"i love pineapple." she looks away from you as you come closer to the crossing, both you looking to the sides of the road in sync.
“i know, me too." you reply shortly, not giving her the time of day, rapidly crossing the street. ellie stays silent, but not for too long.
"well..." she mutters when she catches your trail.
"yes?" you know what she wants but you still play dumb. you're not gonna give it to her.
“just a taste—" she starts whining, and you cut her off.
“nope." that's all you say in response.
you turn the stick horizontally as you get to the middle of the ice lolly, you suck on it and she's snorts heavily. she seems to drag her feet along the sidewalk.
“please, it's so hot out here.” ellie insists on the subject.
"it’s not my fault you fucking gobbled yours." you giggle, flicking her forehead.
she lets out a cartoon-like ‘ouch’ and she pushes your arm.
"bruh, it was small." ellie complains before wiping sweat off her nape, where strands of hair stuck onto.
“doooon't caaaare.” you smirk.
you bite the ice off the stick and she looks like she's mourning its loss. ellie loves pineapple artificial flavoring, despite choosing not to eat too much actual pineapple because when you two ate a bunch of pineapple slices together, you ended up with prickled tongues and mouth ulcers. it wasn't fun.
you can read her expression well enough to let out a chuckle, almost choking on the juice that pools inside your mouth. she clicks her tongue at the sound of slurping coming from you, she focuses on the noise of lawn mowers on your neighborhood instead, but they're just as annoying.
"ellie." you mutter with a heavy breath, she can hear what remains on your tongue moving. she hums in response.
you know ellie's annoyed. you were friends, but you were afraid that you had spoiled her. whenever you denied her anything, she'd catch an attitude. and you liked teasing her. you thought she looked cute when she'd look away from you with a serious face over something so small as a popsicle.
“lukami.” you say, he contorts her face in confusion, and you slurp at the juices to clear your words.
“look at me." you repeat, now coherently, grabbing her cheeks.
“yeah? what do you want?" she looks at you, and you take a disgustingly loud and final slurp.
ellie knows the pineapple stick is gone now, and she didn't even get to taste it. she pictured herself tasting it off your lips, or even your tongue. she wondered if she'd able to feel the refreshment if she sucked on your tongue after all the sucking you did on that popsicle.
“guess what?” you smile, she takes a little too long to answer and you wonder what goes through her mind.
but well, she's nasty, isn't she? she wanted it, no matter if it meant licking around one of her best friend's mouth. she's upset, but she knows it's silly.
“what?” she shrugs.
"i have popsicles at home.” you say excitedly and you look giddy, your sugary fingers still on her face.
“whatever," she looked away, forcing away from your hold. "get those sticky fingers away from me."
"that's a great album, by the way." you ignore her demand, chuckling.
you mess with her cheeks, smearing her with the syrup on your hand. you left a spot on her lips, she licked it. finally, she knows what it tasted like and she yearns for more.
“you're so messy, ya know?" she smiles wide.
you look at your hand as she grabs and holds it where it was, against her lips. you stop on your tracks completely, feeling her tongue stick out of her lips and coming in contact with the pad of your fingers, it tickles. you giggle.
she hums at the sweetness of it and looks up at you from your fingers, what a kid!
"ellie, please, what's wrong with you?" you laugh, and she does too. sugar puts her in a good mood.
“should've just let me taste it.” she speaks.
you would've thought she was done but ellie takes your index finger inside her mouth for shits and giggles, her warm as the day tongue massaging your finger as she sucks on it.
“you're so stupid.” you say, using minimal to no strength to push her face with the hand she entrapped. she smiles around your finger.
you feel the desire to slide your finger further into her mouth to wipe that shit-eating grin of her face. you imagined how ellie would look when she gagged on it, the shock in her eyes would be amusing, you assume. these thoughts run around your mind.
you think she might have an oral fixation by the looks of it,you look around, making sure no one was watching this seemingly obscenity.
"god, ellie.." you sigh in defeat when she flutters her eyes shut. you watch, mind running around her soft features and braking on her pursed lips, tainted red from her late watermelon popsicle.
then she releases your finger, after god knows how long (now that your fingerprint is practically part of her tongue’s muscle memory). you snap back to reality, freshly cut grass smell hitting your nose and unbearable sun hitting your skin.
ellie looks proud of herself.
"it really was good. what flavors you got at home?" she asks and starts walking again. you clean your now spit dirty fingers on your shirt and walk with her, enumerating the flavors of popsicles your dad had bought and stacked in the freezer.

oh I am going to draw cute things and nobody's going to stop me
Look at jade's hairclip omg!!! it's so cute🤧 Also, Floyd's expression is v cute ty for the food 🙏
I love how "maiden princess" Jade's expression is with the bed hair, I don't see that a lot from him. Meanwhile Floyd's vibing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sidenote that I doooon't reeeally appreciate the grippers in Floyd's groovy, and I thought that Jade doing his hair is funny (imagine ironing a single strand of hair😭😭) but a biiiiit lackluster considering the groovies of Ace, Tray, and even Floyd to some extent.
But those are minor! I still love these cards🤧

Looped Sun 20
Loop #518
Grian was... Really tired. The last few loops have been stressful and he and Scar were the only ones aware for this one... Of course he had started the loop in a serious version of third life...
Scar: What if we just died?
Grian: Come again?
Scar: We have tried so many things but not just dying early.
Grian: I wonder why.
Scar: Do you think you could make us ghosts?
Grian: I mean, probably... Shouldn't be tko hard.
Scar: We could haunt the others! With like pranks!
Grian: Hmmm... Now that is an interesting idea.
Jimmy was scared, he had woken up in a weird world with only 3 lives and soon it had become scary with different factions forming and separating... He had decided to stick with Scott and now they were married which was... conforting in a way... And then Grian and Scar died... And didn't respawn...
Grian: Hello there Timmy!
Jimmy: G-Grian? You're a ghost?
Grian: Sure thing? Why so white?
Jimmy: ... I... What happened? How did you and Scar die?
Grian: Oh, we jumped off a cliff.
Jimmy: Why would you do that!?! You just...gave up!?
Grian: I-
Jimmy: That's not- ... It's - ... Ugh!
Grian had forgotten this wasn't the same Timmy who looped with him, he understood too late that this one was going to feel bad about it and he had to do damage control... Quick.
Grian: I... We didn't actually jump on purpose!
Jimmy: You didn't?
Grian: No! No! We slipped...and fell.
Jimmy: ... Oh...really?
Grian: It's just a bit embarassing.
Jimmy: Why didn't you respawn?
Grian: Who knows.
Scar loved this, it was one of his best ideas ever. Now he just needed to scare a certain king out of his skin... He would never expect this.
Scar: Reeeeeeeeeen...
Ren: Whom? Who are you? Show yourself!
Scar: Doooon't yoooouuuu reeemeeembeeeer me?
Ren: Scar!? How? You're dead! You can't be here!
Scar: Ohhhhhhh... You are half right.
Ren: U-uh?
Scar: I am dead!
Now was the time for Scar to appear.
Scar: Boo.
Ren: AAHHHH!?
Scar: Do you hear that sound?
(AHHHHHH!)
Grian: That beautiful sound!
(AaAaaaaah??)
Scar: That is the sound, of clean, white, shorts turning brown!
(Eeheeaeaa!?!)
Grian: Tortu- ...I'm going to have to stop this impromptu musical number because what kind of scream was that??? Who in the world screams like that?
Scar: Someone apparently...
Bdubs: Leave! I'm trying to sleep!
Scar: Hmmm...
Grian: Nah!
Bdubs: I hate you guys. Why can't you guys come back in the morning or something.
Scar: Booooring.
Bdubs: Hey!
Grian: If you think about it sleep is just a free trial of death.
Bdubs:...
They ended up giving Bdubs insomnia that time around...oops.
Loop #521
Scott understood that his actions toward Jimmy back in 3rd Life weren't... completely healthy. He also understood that Grian would say that that was an understatement. He was trying to be less pushy, he really was... and despite certain recent events he tought he truly was getting better. That was why this loop was like a punch in the face.
Jimmy: Scott what's wrong?
Scott: I... Jimmy your eye...
Jimmy: Oh? Oh! It's ok you didn't hurt me too much.
Why did the loop had to start after his unawake self had already done too much damage?
Scott: No! I did! This is a full on black eye Jimmy!
Jimmy: It's... I'm sorry.
Why was he sorry? It was non looping Scotts fault not...not his! He hadn't done anything!
Scott: Don't apologize... I... I need to go.
Grian wasn't helping at all.
Grian: And you chose to run?
Unless by help one meant making Scott feel worse, in that case Grian was helping a lot.
Grian: That is like, the worst thing you could have done.
Scott: I know. I panicked!
Grian: Jimmy is going to blame himself. You do know that, right?
Scott: I know!
Jimmy: Ehhh... Grian? Have you seen Scott?
Scott: He found me! I can't go talk to him.
Grian: Are you going to what? Hide from him? I tried that with Scar near the start, it really doesn't help.
Scott: ... No.
Grian: So?
Scott: ... I'll go talk to him.
Scott: Jimmy...
Jimmy: Scott! You ran off! Did I do something wrong-
Scott: No! I... I... We need to talk...soon
Loop #524
Pearl: Gods forbid women do anything.
Impulse: You turned ALL OF OUR MEGABASES 90°!
Pearl: So?
Impulse: How? It's been less then a day!
Pearl: Oh you know...
Impulse: ...?
Pearl: You know.
Impulse: Know...what?
Pearl: You know.
Impulse: I don't think I do?
Pearl: Sounds like a you problem.
Impulse: Wha- Hey!
Pearl: I can't believe you think a woman couldn't do this, wow. I tought you were better then that.
Impulse: I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN DO THIS?!? Why did you even rotate it!?!
Pearl: Looks better.
Impulse: You even redirected the river!
Pearl: Looks. Better.
Impulse: I... Need to lay down.
Pearl: L.
Loop #527
Grian: This is the story of a man named Scar.
Scar: Grian? Who are you talking to? ... Where are you?
Grian: When Scar came to a set of two open doors he entered the door on his left.
Scar: But... What about the right?
Grian: What about it?
Scar: I want to see what's over there!
Grian: It's just a boring lounge Scar.
Scar: Oh...ok!
Scar: Grian, is this a prank?
Grian: What?
Scar: There is an arrow that says escape!
Grian: No no no no don't go there!
Scar: I'm going!
Grian: Scar! SCAR! You come back here right now.
Scar: Nope! I'm going all the way- AAAAAAHHHHH?!??
Grian: Well ...this is bad-
Scar: I don't want to be crushed! Grian do something!
Grian: I can't!
Scar: Gri-
Mumbo: Stop! I stopped it!
Grian: Mumbo?
Scar: Uh...?
Mumbo: I- I have a museum place to bring you to... I think?
Scar: Uh... Alright... Lead the way!
Grian: Ok... Now you are just ignoring me.
Scar: I'm not! I'm exploring!
Grian: Just be careful on that cargo lift- SCAR!
Scar: Sorry!
Grian: Scar, I swear to god.
Scar: I said sorry!
Grian: Why would you even jump down!
Scar: I wanted to see what was that way!
Grian: BY JUMPING FROM A CARGO LIFT!??
Scar: Grian? Can we take a break?
Grian: Hmm... I have this room in the game code... I could...
Scar: No, no. Just. Sit here a while?
Grian: Uh? Alright, I can do that.
Mumbo: So uh... What time is it for you?
Loop #530
Pearl: Sooo... We got a new expansion.
Grian: We did.
Pearl: Toughts?
Grian: Real Life huh?
Pearl: Scar is still motion sick.
Grian: Guess we got to add Cleo to the winners.
Tango: I explained to Anne a bit about the expansions and how they work.
Scott: Which meant I had to tell her about Termina since she is going to be a proper looper soon.
Grian: Oh... How did that go?Scott: Surprisingly well actually.

Something I noticed while rewatching Hazbin, more specifically episodes 2 and 8, is that Vox seems to mainly refer to Alastor by...well, "Alastor" His actual name. He's only ever referred to Alastor as "the Radio Demon" during his broadcast in Stayed Gone and that was mainly to remind viewers of who this "has-been" was because more people would recognize Alastor by "the Radio Demon" than by his actual name.
All other times when talking about Alastor, he's only ever said "Alastor" I think. Does this add anything? Maybe not something huge, but I feel like it further adds to the history Vox and him have. Like Vox got so used to calling Alastor by his actual name it feels weird for him to refer to Alastor by his title
have decided to compile every instance of a character referring to alastor as "the radio demon" because of this and whether they say it as their first mention of alastor
Charlie: The Radio Demon is at the door! (first mention of alastor)
Vaggie: The Radio Demon. One of the most powerful beings Hell has ever seen? (first mention of alastor)
Vaggie: ...Sinners started calling him "The Radio Demon" (as lazy as that is). 
— Pilot, That's Entertainment
Valentino: Someone who owes us much more than money... the Radio Demon is there. (first mention of alastor)
Vox: So, the Radio Demon is back in town!
Sir Pentious: Yes... uhm... Mr. uhm... Radio Demon sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat... uhm... here.
— Episode 2, Radio Killed the Video Star
Mimzy: That's when Alastor revealed himself as the Radio Demon, and anyone that would mess with him… well, let's just say, his broadcasts never lacked new voices.
Alastor: A reminder to all, not to mess with the Radio Demon!
— Episode 5, Dad Beat Dad
I doooon't think it's necessarily indicative of anything really tbh? I guess charlie, vaggie and val all refer to alastor as the "radio demon" for their first mentions of him in the show, that's 3 major characters you could compare to vox. but at the same time we have characters like sir pentious who first refers to him as alastor too, pentious uses "alastor" at least twice, in the pilot and start of episode 2 before he uses "radio demon". of course this uh doesn't really matter, because regardless, we KNOW they have history and we know vox is abnormal about him. but maybe there is something to be said that all the people who refer to alastor as the radio demon before vox use that before his name?

stawp it, you are making me fall in love with Issac even more with your writing.
I don't know how more people in the fandom don't talk about Isaac!!!
like - came here for Stiles because I had a pre-existing crush on Dylan O'Brien, and as far as I knew, Stiles was the big draw to the show (and 90% of the x reader fics in the fandom are about Stiles) - but not enough people talk about Isaac!!!!!!
he's gorgeous, he's protective, he's sweet, he has a sad backstory (which is a big appeal in a wooby character) he had a bad boy villain arc, he has a fucking cocky smirk, he has the most epic bisexual moment with Erica and Jackson at the rave. what more do you want??
I came to the show for Stiles, and now every single time Stiles is on screen, I'm like "DOOOON'T CARE. WHERE'S ISAAC???"
(Don't get me wrong, I still fucking love Stiles. but I clearly have a favourite now)

LOOK AT HIM AND TELL ME THAT YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM

You ever just get stuck by the silliest au idea and then suddenly its consumed your mind?
Anyway TMNT Princess Bride au
Most characters taken from the 2003 series, but personality of turtles might be closer to Rise series
(I wrote this in the notes of my phone so forgive typos and weird thought process lol)
Casey is buttercup. April is westly (Originally, and what inspired this whole thing. Was that karai was buttercup and Chapman was westley lol)
The turtle bros work for stockman (bishop?) Because he says he has he will help them find their father's killer. A man who has 3 scars along his chin.
Casey just a simple farmer (oh my god. The farm house) with April there to help feed chickens and milk cows and such and such (Would she only say as you wish?? Would she be that submissive? Idk. Maybe she would as long as he promised not to call her babe lol) (LMAO HER PHRASE IS DONT CALL ME BABE INSTEAD OF AS YOU WISH LOLOLOL)
Eventually she goes off to maybe get soem schooling or soemthing. But her ship gets [sunk/destroyed] by the Dread Pirate Krang. April doesn't return and after years Casey believes she died.
Then the local royalty happens to pass by and the princess (karai)(who is told needs to find a husband so she can finally become queen) decides to make Casey her groom.
Casey still in a depressive gloom doesnt do much to reject her.
One day when Casey is out on a run (one of his few joys) he gets kidnapped by 4 demihuman turtles . :D
But then. A stranger begins to follow them. A (wo)man in black
I've mostly been going from 03 inspiration of character. But the turtles might be a little more Rise based.
Leo is inigo foil. The master swordsman. And the banter. "You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you" "you seem a decent fellow. I hate to die" I am not left handed. He Asks april "ever seen a man with 3 scars along his chin?" "Do you ask everyone that question?
Raph is Fezzik . Big. The muscle. (Kind) Mikey doesnt have a direct foil. May have his own individual fight with april or possibly works with raph. The muscle and taunting words and stuff idk
Stockman is arrogant and thinks hes the smartest around. Accepts April's challenge.
Don is there to keep a hold on Casey. (He plays the game a long in his mind that it doenst actually take any posion). Once stockman is dead, Don just asks for th truth about what happen to the rest of his brothers, April tells him they are just knocked out and will be fine. He says he doenst really care about keeping casey as they were just doing it to work with stockman and well he's dead so no point. Bye crazy smart lady and sad prince to be. And he leaves to meet up with his brothers.
Cue april trying to lead casey away and him being like. Oh you're the pirate that killed the love of my life! Blah blah blah so you can shove it babe!
*falling down hill* doooon't caaaaaall me baaaaaaabe! Oh my sweet april ehat have I done!? *throws self down cliff*
They go through the forest (lmao splinter as rous) (not actually but the image is funny)
And Karai and her advisor Oroku Saki meet them and casey begs her to let april go instead of killing her.
April notes that the advisor has 3 scars a long his chin. That's right. Shredder is what's his face and killed splinter. (Sorry splints. You had to die in this au)
April is taken to Bishop who experiments on his death machine. Just doing his job and having fun with his toys.
BUT
shredder shows up when he learns about the demihumans and asks too many questions about the demi humans shes ever encountered. (Theres a small but decent population in the kingdom) but especially that turtles she encountered last. April doesn't care (she does but more concerned about casey) and asks instead about casey and telling him shes never going to stop.
Karai may or may not visit April… idk. But honestly she doesnt really care about marrying casey but she needs to in order to get the crown.
Anyway its shredder who throws a hissy fit and cranks up the machine "killing" april
Meanwhile the turtles have regrouped but leo is super depressed because he failed and now theh have no lead on their father's killer. Brothers eventually pull him out of it.
They hear aprils cry?? They want "the woman in black" to help them??
Idk they go look for her
("Father guide my sword" is SUCH a thing Leo would do and the humor of it hitting the tree then opening the door is peak tmnt.)
Oh no shes dead
Enter miracle max. I mean the ancient one."she is only MOSTLY dead"
Tang shen: "I'm not a witch! I'm your daughter!" (Maybe. This might change)
They all have to push raph on the cart to break into the castle. Hun is the door keeper lol
Leo goes after shredder. Raph is hauling April around. Ikd what mikey and don are doing exactly. Maybe they split off to look for karai and/or casey
Leo: RAPH!! RAAAAPH. HE'S GETTING AWAY! RAPH
Raph: sighs and puts april down carefully and goes knocks down the door for leo. Comes back to everyone gone. "Now whered everybody go??"
April somehow gets to Casey's room. Casey is thrilled.
Karai shows up… idk. Ask why she really is doing this. Is it what she really wants? Or is it just what shredder has convinced her she needs to do (marry become queen go to war and take over other kingdoms)
Karai seems to consider it (maybe) but still cant have her groom just be carted off. April says okay let's fight then. I've taken on demihimans and been dead and came back, you really want to fight?
Karai considers and concedes. They tie her up so it doesnt look like she just wlt them go.
Karai let's them all leave and ends up marrying one of the chamber men[squire/stable boy/man servant] (is that a real term???) Chapman.
Leo don and mikey all catch up and somehow raph went and found them all horses to ride out on. Happily ever after
Cody is the grandson. Hamato yoshi/splinter is the grandfather

YOOOOOOO, LISTENING TO THE NEW TROY SAGA AND I CAN ALREADY TELL THAT JORGE HAS BEEN COOKING FOR US FR. HORSE AND THE INFANT IS MAKING ME GO WILD SOBBING AT JUST A MAN. THIS CAN'T GO WELL. OH MY FUCKING GOD. THESE VOCALS ARE MAKING ME FEEL THINGS. The 'forgive me' is really fucking me over. It's pleading for any sort of mercy and it never coming. DAMN IT. FUCK. "Full Speed Ahead" my beloved. Having to move on after such a heartbreaking song is amazing. It's like pushing forwards and not being able to think too hard about what he did. "WE'RE OFF, WE'RE OFF AND AWAY WE GO". DON'T GO TO THE ISLAND. PLEASE. NOOOOO. LISTEN TO YOUR INSTINCTS. POLITES NOOOOOO. I LOVE YOUUUU. "Open Arms" may be my favourite fun song from Epic. It's got a good beat and it's just Polites being a brilliant sweetheart. NO MATTER THE PLACE, WE CAN LIGHT UP THE WORLD HERE'S HOW TO START, GREET THE WORLD WITH OPEN ARMS. Don't trust those bastards. DOOOON'T. Polites I love you so much. Polites. I love you. "Warrior Of The Mind" is what introduced me to Epic. It's always a huge fucking banger. "ATHENAAAA!!"

Little Lights ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
crush x reader
warnings: none, just fluff. :D
a/n: the requester was an anon so I just did a gender-neutral one just in case! &lt;3
(I’m soooo sorry- this isn’t proofread😭)
Don't look... Doooon't look.
You looked.
They smiled.
"This is really beautiful, y/n."
"Oh- yeah yeah... I'm, uh- glad you like it."
"Do you come out here a lot?"
Should I say yes? No no... I'll sound like a dork.
"Every now and then. I like to look at the stars, like little lights surrounding the moon." you sighed. "It's just so amazing..."
"Yeah... so amazing."
"What was that?"
"Oh, nothing nothing. My bad. Just... admiring the view." they chucked.
"Oh... yeah- great."
The two of you and been hanging out a lot more lately. Maybe it was in your head, but they seemed to... nevermind.
Last time I thought we had a chance I got embarrassed in front of all my friends... not doing that again.
Maybe they were just being nice? You hoped that wasn't it. Everything in you fought against the idea that maybe you two could be something, but that tiny sliver of hope in your heart burned through it all.
"How'd you find out about this place? It's a great spot."
"Huh? Oh, uh- My grandpa used to bring me here a lot. He'd always talk about the moon and the stars and how it's all connected."
~
Look at those eyes.
Stop. Stop. You were invited here to hang out, not to simp...
"That's pretty amazing, y/n. Wish you would've told me about it sooner."
Wrong move...
"Oh... Yeah, uh- Maybe we can come back out here sometime? That is if you want to, you definitely don't have to- I was just thinking that maybe we c-could-"
"Sure."
~
What?
~
"What?"
"I'd love to come back... the environment is great and- we don't really spend that much time together. This could be our spot.
~
No no no, not again.
This was that moment when your hands would get all sweaty and your heart would start beating fast. That moment where you'd say something stupid and expose yourself. That moment where you'd fantasize about what could instead of just... responding.
"Y/n, you good?"
Frick.
Everything about them. Their eyes, their smile, the way the moon lit their face just perfectly. It was intoxicating. Dangerous. Dangerous in a way you couldn't comprehend, and made you wonder why you invited them here in the first place.
~
“Y/n?”
“Hm?”
“Are you ok?”
“I- I just wanna kiss you right now. Really badly.”
~
“What?”
“I… for the last 30 minutes all I could think about is… I- I just want your lips on mine.”
Silence.
“Let me make that happen.”

A scenario of Kara getting slapped on the butt by his s/o for wearing booty shorts.
The summer months always called for less clothing. Breathable fabrics, tank tops, sandals - anything to keep your sweltering skin from overheating. But it was not just you that kept it cool in the heat. Just as you were prone to wearing the shortest of shorts in your home, your boyfriend followed suit. You'd simply been taking care of some weekend tasks, a lazy day at absolute best. "Afternoon, mon amour," hummed Karamatsu, as he pulled a bottle of water from the fridge. You remembered setting the bottles at the bottom shelf, making Karamatsu have to bend over to reach them. An "unknown" force came over you in the form of your hand swiftly drawing back; with the sound of an echoed CLAP!, the same hand connected with your poor beau's asscheek. The yelp he let out had you smirking with glee, getting exactly the reaction you'd anticipated. Karamatsu immediately reached for the stinging cheek, his face flushing hues of dark pinks into sweet reds. "You..." he began, straightening himself upright now, "Y-You minx! I should p-p-punish you for such a naughty act!" A small laugh sounded from you as you took in his blushing appearance, "Kara, hunny, you don't sound the least bit convincing with your face all red like that." Through his reddened cheeks he tried to sport an ominous grin, though it failed to translate as such. His fingers wiggled in miniature threatening waves, "Perhaps my vivacious vixen should get a taste of the same treatment, hm?" and with little notice he lunged toward you. In a scream turned laughter, you jumped out of the way. Your feet quickly carried you throughout the house, giggles littering the halls in the playful chase that ensued. "Gotcha!" came a victorious shout. Karamatsu had skillfully wrapped his arms around your middle, tackling you to the bed. Your scramble was quite half-assed, your laughter keeping you from moving as quickly as you could've. "Noooo, Karamatsu, doooon't!" came your snicker laced plea. He wagged his index finger in a faux scold, "Now, now, darling, tis only fair, non? If you get a handful of my behind - as your lover, I should be allowed the same courtesy~" The whole ordeal was beginning to make you blush, especially when you realized how you were placed over his lap at the moment. "W-Wait Kara!" your senses returning to you in a frenzy. He tsked, "Brace yourself now, ahh - love truly is pain after all!" Karamatsu's hand caught the fat of your ass in full, a resonating smack catching the corners of the room in its sound. The second brother relished in the cry that graced his ears: the sweetest revenge. "AHHHH!~"

How would you have written the story if Jesse wasn't in Love with Cole? Would they just be good friends? Would Cole still have a crush on Zane? Would have have shipped Cole with someone else or even Jesse with someone else? Would Jesse still have his character arc and be so close to the group? Would the others have other opinions on him?
idk this got long cuz my brain rot started showing:
How would you have written the story if Jesse wasn't in Love with Cole? Would they just be good friends? -
Legacy!Jesse, Royal!Jesse, Mermaid!Jesse, Cracked!Jesse: There is no universe in which I wouldn't love him!!!!!
DR!Jesse: Except the one in which the universe tries to force me not to (and fails)
Honestly though, I dunno how it would've gone! Technically, nothing major would change if Jesse was taken out—he's more of a situation enhancer than a situation changer (with some exceptions). The Crush Thing was the whole reason Jesse became, well, Jesse in the first place, as the Fuchsia Ninja was just going to be a joke character until the end of S2 otherwise, which would've meant no big surprise-element lore, no EM!Mystake, certainly no Miranda, far less focus on the student Council kids (meaning Antonia and Harumi wouldn't have gotten nearly as much spotlight), and we wouldn't have gotten the majority of the Elemental Compass info until season 3 when it was truly relevant.........
Half of the initial problem with wanting to incorporate more of the Fuchsia Ninja (for more movie!DNA in the story) is that I couldn't come up with a reason as to why this guy would even care what the 'actual' ninja were doing (as again, this was also prior to the completion of the Compass + making Surprise a full-on Element + the whole 'it's all gotta be a secret' thing). At one point he was going to be Lil Nelson's babysitter, but then that still didn't provide ample opportunity to, like, get him involved in anything.
And I (in a rare moment of weakness) don't even know how I'd depict a fully platonic Jesse and Cole lmaoooooooo it feels WRONG—
Cole, in art class: Psst, hey you, pink guy.
Jesse: ...yeah?
Cole: Can I borrow a pencil?
Jesse: Oh, yeah, sure. Here you go.
Cole: Cool, thanks. *puts on headphones and keeps drawing, never speaks to Jesse again*
Jesse: *thinking* ...I don't think I'm getting that pencil back. Oh well.
Cole: *thinking* What was that guy's name again? Jackson? Oh well.
...okay I could probably do better than that but I also can't conjure up a scenario that wouldn't inevitably end up in an 'oh' moment HELP
Would Cole still have a crush on Zane? - lol yes I wouldn't let go of my early!seasons Glacier love, you can pry Cole having a hopeless crush on Zane until mid-S3 (or early!S4) from my cold dead hands. But, Pixane would still be for the win.
Would you have shipped Cole with someone else or even Jesse with someone else? - Cole? Doubtful, especially now that DR is in the picture. Jesse? ...maybe? Aside from a brief thing with Skylor there's not really anyone else Jesse would have that sort of chemistry with—maybe post-S6 Sunni (which would piss Samantha off soooo bad lmfao), maybe a magician's assistant he gets down the line (who totally isn't a cute girl named Rory), maybe he just waits until adulthood to find a boyfriend or he just never gets bitten by the romance bug in the first place and resigns himself to not wanting and/or needing that kind of relationship and then we never get Cam
Would Jesse still have his character arc and be so close to the group?- The Character arc, yeah, definitely, since I kind of significantly need him for S4 now, but it all would've been squashed into S3-S4 rather than..."gently" paced out since S1. I doooon't think he would've been as close with the group though, and probably would've been like most of the other Derivatives and just tried to keep his nose down in the wake of all the chaos with The Order and whatnot (because if he's not nearly as involved in all the Elemental drama then there's no reason for Miranda's character to be a thing either, and that's even more personal motivation hacked away from him–)
Would the others have other opinions on him?-
Lloyd: He's interesting, wish I had more time to get to know him better. I never had time to ask though ;w;
Nya: He's a very hard worker in the student council! Dunno a thing of what he's like outside of school—He could be a killer for all we know.
Zane: I do not like his unpredictability. It unsettles me. How does he keep popping up without being detected?!
Jay: ...wait, who?
Kai: Nah, fuck that guy
Lloyd: ...Kai that's your opinion now-
Kai: Yeah but in this theoretical scenario I'd actually mean it
Jesse: I'm not even safe in an alternate reality e-e
Miranda: Imagine not falling in love with a boy leading to the existence of your own sister being deemed unnecessary. I'M the one truly suffering!
Cole: ...Wait what was that about falling in love with a boy–?
Jesse: NOTHING
Miranda: ...and with that attitude we might as well be in that non-romantic reality now
Jesse: AUGHHHH
