The winner (obviously) is Bryan. The key to success is apparently to churn out as many soulless, big-budget sequels and spinoffs as possible... and eventually one of them will end up being a golden turd.

Louis steps away to give Bryan the mic and apparently gets distracted by the giant shiny curtain. 

Bryan gives an impassioned speech to the assembled crowd, thanking them profusely for the recognition and the opportunity. Deep down he knows how phony the whole process is, but who is he to turn down an opportunity to soak up attention like a dry sponge? Plus everything is just.... so shiny!

[xxstrawberrybunxx]

Rating stranger things ships because I'm bored and that's literally all my dash is right now

Mike/El- 3/10 they obviously like each other but they should've stayed broken up. Would probably be better if their relationship wasn't super committed, especially since they're teenagers who went through a lot, their relationship needs room. But they're not as awful as some ppl make them out to be.

Mike/Will- 6/10 I'm a sucker for unrequited love but instead of a real relationship I want Mike to realize he's into Will way too late and confess to Will only for him to be like "I would've dated you in an instant a year ago but I moved on and I'm happier because of it" and then Mike can be the one who's pining lol (spicy spicy unrequited love <3)

Mike/Max- 6/10 I feel like they dated for like a minute and then decided they liked being friends better. They're trans and gay and gossip buddies. I think they should be allowed to have more screentime together without it having to be romantic.

(Mike is so transmasc coded btw)

Max/Lucas- 6/10 I wish the writers focused on Lucas a little more, I consistently just kinda forget he's there which is unfortunate cuz his character and his relationship with Max has so much potential. I also wish Max was nicer to Lucas in canon, but in my head they're in a stable, happy open relationship. They're polyamorous as fuck. And they support each other.

(I don't rlly like how canon treats a lot of relationships actually. Everyone's so tense around their respective partners all the time it's kinda stressful to watch. At least for me. And it doesn't feel like relationships and the ending-of-relationships have real consequences.)

Max/El- 9/10 their friendship is really cute and I think they'd be happy together

Max/El/Lucas- 10/10 Max and Lucas are dating, Max and El are dating, El and Lucas are good friends.

Steve/Nancy- 1/10 I love their friendship but they are not meant to be lovers. That ship sailed in season 1 when they killed a person lmao. If Netflix released them from "committed allonormative relationship" hell they would work a lot better as "friends with benefits".

Steve/Eddie- 8/10 I love that Dustin's just collecting dads. They're cute and Eddie was definitely Steve's bi awakening at least.

Steve/Jonathan/Nancy- 10/10 I'm just skipping Nancy/Jonathan and Steve/Jonathan to give you this. Again if they were released from allonormativity jail they would make an absolutely banger polycule.

Nancy/Robin- 6/10 in canon they weren't given a lot of time together and I think that's really sad cuz they have potential to be really cute together. Like Steve/Eddie, if they're not dating Robin was at least Nancy's bi awakening.

Jonathan/Argyle- 8/10 they're gay, no pansexual awakenings needed for either of them (of which they both are. Pansexual. Because I said so.)

I think Dustin should be allowed to have 2 girlfriends. Chuck him in the "polyamorous and happy" pile.

Will is really close with Nancy and Robin and sees them as older sisters, and Nancy especially helped him when he was recovering from his first upside-down banishment.

Will generally finds it easier to bond with people who fill an "older sibling" role rather then just a "friend" role. And he got along with his teachers better then his classmates. Mmmmmm autism -w-

I really like Nancy.

[demomonic-murmurs]

loving your boo [hq characters × monster girlfriend] //p. 1

Welcome to a new series that I am starting. It features haikyuu characters dating various monsters and mostly features NSFW headcanons.

A fair warning; some of these might be a little weird. I will tag everything appropriately, so proceed with that in mind. Each part will feature 5 characters and 6 parts are planned so far.

Pairings: Hoshiumi × Reader, Ushijima × Reader, Iwaizumi × Reader, Osamu × Reader

Warnings: Size difference, Cervix Penetration, Egg Laying, Heat Cycles, Stomach Buldge

Hoshiumi and a Giantess

• Seagull boy is already insecure enough about his height

• he really doesn't like people commeting on his size or he is ready to throw hands

• or people taller than him

• but when he laid his eyes on you

• 250 cm of pure, giant beauty

• that got his feathers ruffled

• he doesn't get why you're insecure of your height to him its the best thing ever

• will ask you to carry him in private, not in public though he got a reputation to uphold

• learns to appreciate his height as well because of you

• because due to it, his face perfectly gets smothered by your big breasts and his hand has access to your cunt when you're just standing up normally

• speaking of cunt

• he knows his dick can't pleasure you lmfao

• he isn't the biggest guy, mostly just girthy but even that can't save him when it comes to your giant pussy

• he doesn't mind though, at least not later

• opens you up until his entire arm is inside of you

• thats a tight fit even for you

• his fingers barely reach your cervix

• which is great because he will totally use them to directly penetrate it

• your poor cervix is so abused lmao

• sucks on your clit like its a popsicle and his life depends on it

• also loves your boobs

• def wants to be quished between them

• loves it when you pick him up and hold him to suck his dick

• it feels so insignificantly small when he is with you so whenever you try to make him feel good he appreciates it

• you don't trust yourself with giving him a hand job, I mean how could you really, you could crush his dick so easily and then what

• so you mostly just settle down and let him use your body however he wants to to avoid any additional danger

• his ego is such an odd mix of immense pride and crippling self doubt

• he really wants to pleasure you but doesn't know if he can or is able to

• please reassure him

• overall fun relationship with a very different sex life

Ushijima and a Fairy

• Size difference in the different direction

• you are tiny and frail compared to Ushijima's tall and buff stature

• adorable pair though

• very popular and very one loves you

• you may have wings but Ushi loves it when you don't use them and ask him instead to help you get something from a shelf

• that being said, he also lives for when you flutter up to him to give him a kiss

• or when you allow him to hold you

• carefully of course because a broken wing would be a bother really

• but his hands are so big

• one hand is enough to fit onto your back and cover it mostly

• he enjoys that feeling of you being small like that

• which of course means that he loves the way you force yourself onto his cock

• it's far too big and thick for your far to tiny pussy

• when you stand next to him, you are at a face level with his crotch

• so even the tip is buldging you already

• not to mention that his cock is a monster

• long, thick and curved

• it can split you in half easily

• loves it most when he is laying down and you sink down onto his cock

• the way you hiss and cry as you take inch after inch is like a concert to him

• loves holding your hips and brushing his thumbs over your stomach taking him so nicely

• you can never fit him completly but it amazes him everytime just how much you can take

• maybe if he just starts stretching you out enough, there will be enough space in your tiny womb for him because he breaks through your cervix like its nothing

• speaking of womb

• loves to cum inside of you and he cums a lot, making you swell up with it quite nicely

• loves how your wings flutter and shudder when you climax, which happens quite often considering how long it takes to just sheat himself into you

• also loves to use you as a cock sleeve to cock warm while he does chores

• nice man that takes good care of you and will make you think of nothing but his cock

Iwaizumi and a Dragonshifter

• Godzilla

• that's the reason he fell for you

• I am sorry

• can totally see it as a childhood friends thing where he befriended you because of that

• and now that the two of you are older he realized just how hot you are

• horns, bat-like wings, claws and a thick scaly tail

• not to mention your teeth

• poor Iwa is done for

• absolutely loves it when you wear anything short or revealing because then he can see the scales framing the more humanoid part of your thighs

• loves it when you give him blowjobs and he is allowed to pull on your horns so you can take him deeper

• your mouth is hotter than the one of an average girl because of your dragon breath

• and your tongue is longer as well

• also loves seeing you pleasure yourself with your tail

• since your clawed hands don't exactly allow you to use them

• but the scales on your tail give you a nice friction to work with

• his favourite season of the year is mating season lol

• when you become so needy that you cut through his pants to suck on him, begging for his semen

• loves taking you from behind because he can see your tail and wings moving around

• rubs the base of both because they are very sensitive zones

• likes to hold up your tail and hug it while he fucks you into the sheets

• your nickname for him is the dragon tamer lmfao

• loves how protective you can get over him

• makes him feel very nice n cozy inside

• knows that you can take care of yourself and relishes in the way you beat up someone

• lowkey turned on by the fact that you can easily beat him at arm wrestling

• Iwa likes a strong woman

• especially if she is half lizard

Osamu and a Swan Girl

• thinks you're beautiful and graceful by default

• loves to run his hand over your feathers

• he still keeps the one you had lost during your first date in a scrapbook

• everything is so soft about you he lives for it

• loves to hold yours hands, which extend from your wings similarly to a bat

• calls you his little angel

• you two own Onigiri Miya together

• and you two have a special item on the list that is limited but a fan favourite

• swan egg ramen

• its a specialty really

• if its ordered (which happens often) Osamu will take a short break and fuck you in the break room so your body will begin to create an egg

• ofc he won't cum in you, he doesn't want to fertilize it

• preferably cums all over your feathers instead

• though he can't deny that he dreams about doing it inside of you one day

• the house made eggs are delicious and if he got time, he loves seeing you push it out

• his favourite sight really

• of course you have a limit of how many you can lay but thats fine, thats why its a special offer that is very popular among humans and monsters alike

• he also loves it when you get in the real mood and perform your little mating dance and sing for him

• lovingly ruffled your feathers so you know he returns your affection

• always makes sure to feed you well after you've laid an egg because its quite stressful for you and he knows that

• and just loves the thought about mating for life with you

Nishinoya and Bunny Girl

• you are a dream come true

• every single high school fantasy is embodied in you

• you're hot to him

• so incredibly hot

• he is horny on main lmao

• takes you in any way imaginable

• loves it if you suck him off and he gets to pull on your ears

• always gently licks and bites them because they're so sensitive

• moans directly into your your ear because he knows it will make you shudder

• not to mention that cute little tail of yours

• any part of fur you possess will be covered in his cum he will ensure that

• ruts himself between your thighs or boobs

• loves to see you collecting his cum with a finger eagerly licking it off

• will absolutely buy you a Karasuno uniform to really fulfill his dreams

• you're his cute fangirl and he is the handsome libero you have a crush on

• lives for the way your legs look under a skirt, specifically that one

• sometimes just flips it up and nuzzles his nose into your crotch

• when you're not wearing panties though

• you're basically asking for it

• has no problem with fucking you in private

• also loves it when you're in heat

• you two have sex very often but when you're in heat? You're not doing anything but fucking

• also would probably have some fun with triggering your flight instincts while fucking you if he feels mean

[dodgergilmore]

1: Idk about Rory having a regressive effect on Logan, since he shifts from bad to good (and then bad again) in the series as their relationship goes on, but he definitely seems to have a regressive effect on her, at least when it comes to her romantic relationship with him. Those 'hot takes' from their fans always annoy the fuck out of me though, because it's not actually them being like 'well they're both kinda terrible so

I guess they deserve each other', it's them basically showing that they'd sooner have their ship as an affair than anything else, while desperately clinging to this idea that it's somehow a good thing, when it's obviously not. Rory knows that the 'agreement' they have is bad in AYITL, and even though the Paul thing is suuch a badly written joke (and something that I can never really see Rory doing), for the latter half of the series, you can see her begin to realize that it can't go on with Logan, and she actually chooses to break it off herself both times. The whole thing with her being pregnant doesn't mean that she'll automatically get back together with him, esp when she already broke up with him AND went to ask her own father about Lorelai raising her on her own. And imo even if she has the kid on her own, (which is a valid choice since it's her body), that doesn't mean that Logan can just swoop in and save her? Esp when she made it clear that she didn't want that from him at the end (lol for a fandom that loves being all 'uhm Rory loves Logan!' they certainly love ignoring Rory's choices whenever they involve not choosing him). Anyway, Logan imo def represents someone who brings out Rory's more negative sides because she always goes to him whenever she wants to escape her own life and issues (and this happens several times in season 6 before she goes back to Lorelai).

Yeah, as I was typing that I was like “hmm I don’t think regressive is the word I’m looking for here...” basically what I had in mind was the ‘Logan changes for Rory’ line of thinking – he makes these quick decisions in their relationship that appear to be growth, like when he wants to be in a committed relationship and then brings her to dinner with his family in the same episode. But after Rory rejects his proposal, Logan ends up in much the same place as where he began: in London working the family (I think?? I don’t even remember lmao) business, tied to a dynastic plan and romantically uncommitted. All of that is a roundabout way of saying that Logan may make positive changes while with Rory because he wants to be with her, but ultimately those changes don’t progress his character in a meaningful or lasting way.

Even when non-shippers say they deserve each other just because they dislike both characters after the revival I’m like... really, though? You’d rather have two characters continue to spin around in a cycle of bad, repetitive choices rather than see how the characters can come back from this and be better? I watch a lot of television and have thus been disappointed by many shows and this sort of thought has just never crossed my mind, so I struggle to wrap my head around it. Find something more interesting to do with the characters!

The fact that Rory is the one to break it off with Logan during AYITL is pretty significant, I think, considering she is never the one to make that definitive choice: Dean in S1 and his public breakups in S3 and S5; Jess goes to California and only sees Rory on the bus because her first class was cancelled; the one-sided breakup from Logan’s end during mid-S6 and then when she says no to his proposal, which he makes out to be all or nothing; even Paul is the one who does the breaking up. The only exception I can think of is when she doesn’t want to casually date Logan anymore but that choice changes within the same scene. In these instances, Rory is only able to react to what’s been done because she can no longer make an active choice in the matter. Obviously a child would change the circumstances but Rory has made her choice with regard to Logan as a romantic option, and kids can’t act as band-aid fixes... especially to what has clearly run its course. Sometimes, love just isn’t enough and it seemed like Rory realised that throughout the revival. Yep! Logan has pretty consistently been a source of escapism, which can only go on for so long until it inevitably ends.

(I definitely think the running Paul bit was given no more thought than ‘this would be such a funny joke haha’ which is highly annoying because it comes at the expense of Rory’s character, ugh!)

While we’re on the topic of AYITL and characters making their own choices, I suppose I’ll just let out how wild the talking point of ‘Logan would’ve broken off the engagement if Rory told him to!’ during that whole “Are you really going to marry Odette” scene is to me......please, he is a grown man! If he doesn’t want to marry her then he doesn’t have to, and he shouldn’t be sitting around waiting for someone to tell him not to because like I said, grown man. Logan could break it off and live his own life whether Rory wants to be with him or not, but he chooses to stay because to some degree he must be content with his life. So if Rory were to "choose” him, that leaves them with two paths: Rory stays with him in London in a life that has little room for her, or Logan uproots his life – potentially dropping all stability in his life – to wherever Rory is in a life that has little room for him. This paragraph started off as me being annoyed with people babying a grown man and placing so much of the responsibility on the woman but I think I managed to find a point there lmao
