Oh my god one last thing my ex took me to outside lands and when we tried to watch lana del rey he laid down on the grass and had a “panic attack” (this was after months of him talking about how he didn’t like her) so we went to see foo fighters after a bit and he was FINE

paige bueckers x reader

(paige x uconn psychology student!reader)

synopsis: with y/n being in a new environment, still facing rejection, how can she bounce back?

masterlist

chapter 5

the previous week was hell for y/n. she got to finish interviewing all the members part of the men’s and women’s basketball team. she plans on having study sessions with the team members starting next week. aubrey has been noticing dark circle’s under y/n’s eyes, and she’s growing concered.

it was a saturday night, and aubrey was going out to hang with the team, when she went out of here room, she saw y/n locked in with her research. she saw a glimpse of the introduction.

university of connecticut, in short uconn, is known for many achievements in their curriculars, and especially in basketball. according to previous research, many have grown fond of basketball due to university of connecticut, with many championship titles being brought to their home at storrs.

basketball in uconn is more popular than ever. with this, the researcher aims to see the difference of the resilience of these student athletes from the basketball teams of uconn. according to..

“girl thats dope, but you have been reviewing this introduction for the longest time. you need a break, your eyebags are telling you to do so.” aubrey said. “i just want a good grade.. so im eligible to transfer to stanford.” y/n replies nonchalantly.

“that is true, but you need to loosen up for now y/n. you have done a lot. im hanging out with the team today, you should really come so i wouldn’t have to worry about my teammate finishing cans of red bull. thats bad for you!” aubrey proposes. “i dont think i can..” y/n declines.

“im not taking no for an answer, so come into your room and put nice clothes on. i can wait for you” aubrey drags y/n out of her chair and brings her to the girl’s room.

“fine”

after 30 minutes, the roommates finally arrived to the destination: a steakhouse. it’s tradition for the team to eat at their favorite steakhouse at every start of the school year. the team may bring their friends and significant others to this gathering, but they all keep in mind to keep this gathering not too big and still quite intimate.

“hi y/n!!!” the team greets her, aubrey signaling her to sit beside nika and her. nika turned to y/n, and asked more personal questions about her life. they only got to talk during the interviews, and nika was genuinely willing to be friends with y/n.

they got more comfortable with each other, they found out they both liked rock climbing, building legos, and had mystery movies as their comfort movies.

while talking, one member of the team, kk, got curious. “so.. what’s the deal between aubrey and y/n? we didn’t know that y/n would be here, but don’t worry boo we’re all glad you’re here” kk asked.

everyone except for one

“oh nooo. y/n and i arent like that. yeah we’re roommates and we got close to each other but she’s not my type, don’t even know if she’s for the girls! i brought her here since she’s been too deep into her research. she needs to eez down” aubrey declined the allegation, y/n agreeing to her.

“only answer this if your comfortable with it but.. are you for the girls?” kk’s curiousity got stronger. “oh no its fine kk! yeah i am gay, just dont have a label. but i have never had a girlfriend before” y/n answered with a smile.

“OOOOH!” kk and the others exclaimed. “so what are you looking for in a partner? we could hook you up!” ice asked.

“i want my personal athletic or active, i dont know, they just have that aura. i also want my person to be quite smart.. i dont know guys its just attractive to me! and i hope theyre love language is words of affirmation. im a sucker for that” y/n shamefully answers.

“you know y/n, maybe your just talking about me” kk teased. “NOOOO”s and “EEEWWW”s were said after that, laughter all around.

after a wonderful night and dinner, it was time to head to an open basketball court. the uconn team loves to hoop after a good night out. its their only time to really have fun with their sport, no rules or anything. the steakhouse was just walking distance to the court, hence the team leaving their cars first at the parking area.

as they go into the court, y/n was smiling with the rest of the team, until she sees paige. paige gave her an eye roll, which made y/n feel quite annoyed and uncomfortable.

the rest of the team wanted to see y/n play, so she did, she was against paige, qadence, nika, and ice. y/n was having fun, but whenever she makes in contact with the ball and paige was beside her, paige kept on nudging her and slightly hitting her. paige was rough, which was not usual for her especially when they were just playing for fun.

the others felt paige’s competitiveness, and it didn’t feel right. kk calmed paige down. “paige whats your problem? she doesn’t play. that was foul” kk asked. paige just scoffed and ignored kk. kk was for sure that paige was hiding something, and she would have to ask next time when paige is more open to talk about it.

the team decided to call it a day. while they were walking back to the parking area, paige was dribbling a basketball, and started to throw it up— which led to another “accident.”

the ball goes forward and hits y/n again, but this time it was on her shoulder. y/n looked back to see who threw the ball, only to see that it was the blonde once again.

“what the fuck is your problem?”

ASTARION SFW HEADCANONS:

yall he would be so embarrassed by how vampires are portrayed in the media. like enraged 😭😭 he feels like they make him look like a joke and would refuse to watch/read anything with vampires in it bcz nobody ever gets it right. but if modern day tav DID ever get him to watch twilight with them he would be like shrinking into his shirt from secondhand embarrassment AT FIRST but i feel like he would eventually get invested LMAO like u know how dads stand in front of the tv and get stuck there bcz theyre too interested lol that kind of vibe

sooo hedonistic and materialistic like he loves all things luxurious, chocolates, expensive fabrics, comfortable furniture etc. he does NOT want to settle for anything less. but this also means he expects the same for tav 🥰 but he's kind of messy too? like it makes sense with being materialistic bcz eventually youll have lots of clutter. his tent has all kinds of unnecessary shit

hes lowkey sentimental. LOWKEY THOUGH he would never admit it. like if tav ever gave him something like idk, a necklace they found or something and said it made them think of him he'd literally keep it forever and ever. dont call him out on it tho bcz he'll get defensive af 😔 HES SUCH A BABY

tav and him will argue A LOT but thats because he purposely pushes ppls buttons. (nsfw mention) its like foreplay to him and if u read the nsfw section youll see why lol

so sooooo jealous but only if he feels like youre getting too close to someone else. like initially i dont think tav sleeping with someone else makes him jealous bcz of his backstory like he doesnt rlly view sex as something that only happens between two ppl that love each other and thats what would bother him the most. and i think hes only open sexually bcz hes conditioned himself to be that way, like maybe after a while of being with tav it really would start to bother him if they were sleeping with other ppl and he'd eventually want to be exclusive.

also he cares abt tav so much. like he pretends like he doesnt but if they freak him out enough theyll see just how much he worries abt them and wants them safe 😭❤️

love language:

giving = words of affirmation. he loves to call tav pet names and comment on how good they are at things and how good they look etc. he LOVESSS it especially if tav responds to it in any way (physically or verbally) bcz he also loves to tease lol. also dare i say physical touch? like just innocently touching tav all the time. this i feel bcz he (spoiler???) rlly enjoyed the hug during his confession scene and also wants to hold tav's hand after. (end of possible spoiler) like he'll prolly do little things like rub tav's back or caress their face randomly while theyre talking to him lol all very sensual tho hes a very sensual man

receiving = words of affirmation and physical touch lol both in the way i described before. i dont think he would like tav teasing him tho most of the time he gets genuinely pissed off 😹😹😹 hes just a lil short tempered

apparently hes 5'9 but i dont know where thats coming from lol i dont get that vibe he looks pretty lanky i would say between 5'11-6' is more realistic like lets be honest a 5'9 man lured back all those victims for cazador? be so fucking for real 😭😭 also decent muscle tone not scrawny but not SWOLE

ASTARION NSFW HEADCANONS:

lets go girls and gays 👯 for starters i dont really see him enjoying being submissive at all like u had to roll a 15 to even get the mf to say 'please'. i think this is especially because he hates having his autonomy taken away from him but he has a controlling personality in general (he was deciding ppls fates as a magistrate before cazador 🧍🏼like HELLO what the fuck was that 😹😹) . he likes to call the shots BUT i dont think hes selfish (kinda feel like hes a giver lowkey?? are we feeling the service dom allegations ??) he just withholds what tav likes until they do what he wants or theyre good for him. he always remembers to reward them tho 😇

he LOVES BRATS (hence the arguing mentioned before) !!!!!!! theyre his absolute favorite like theres something abt putting someone in their place that turns him on so much. theyre also so fun. he usually does it by being mean and degrading them tho lol. but once they submit to him hes so soo sweet. theyll also get bonus points for calling him something that implies hes above them (daddy, sir, master) but he wont make them. he prolly likes to see if he can make them do it voluntarily for an ego boost lol.

hes sadistic in the sense that he likes to “hurt” tav but not in extreme ways. he likes them too much for that. like he'll pull their hair and choke them (bite them) or something but he wont cause them horrific pain if u catch my drift. i still feel like hes into seeing them cry tho lol like if they go to him for a shoulder to cry on he'll try to act sympathetic but he'll also pop a boner HELP HES THE WORST

takes forever to cum like bro 🙄 I GOT RUG BURN ON MY PUSSY !!!! also has a very attractive pp probably 6-7 inches? like its textbook perfect. upwards curve. pink tip. shall i go on.

he wont do this to a one night stand but if he likes tav enough he'll want to mark or claim them in some way. like leaving bite marks and bruises EVERYWHERE or even cumming inside them.

also not as kinky as u would think like keep ur questionable kinks away from this man he will judge so hard. MAJOR kink shamer. in short no u cannot piss on him lmao leave peepaw alone

aftercare with him depends. at first its rlly cold and u get corny rehearsed lines and he cant wait to go sleep by himself 😭😭😭 BUT after he catches feelings hes very attentive and will help tav clean up. also will prefer to stay with them until morning.

[amor-brooklynn]

im kind of bored and i miss you guys so here are some hcs :)

[cw: all fluff and cute stuffs, jus mainly what it would be like to date some of the dsmp boys]

edit: I removed dream due to the true allegations against him.

george <3-

•likes to tease and mess with you a lot

•lots and lots of play fighting

•george is a tired person most of the time, but wont hesitate to play games with you late at night

•he likes to cook breakfast and dinner with you rather than just you cooking by yourself

•type of guy to come up behind you and hug you without saying anything,

“ah- jeez, george you scared me,” you would huff at him “do you need something?”

He would just groan, and nuzzle his face into your neck.

•stays like that for a while, and refuses to let you walk away until hes done hugging you

•george is an awkward person and doesnt know how to show love very well

•however, he likes to buy you small things like flowers or chocolates on occasion.

•likes to hold your hand a lot (idk i just feel like that would be something he would do)

•its almost impossible for you to annoy him

•if you tried to by being obnoxious or just messing with him a lot, he would just roll his eyes with a smug smile on his face, amused at your poor attempts to annoy him

•late night walks with you>>

•isnt the type of person to really tell someone off if theyre flirting with you or looking at you wrong, instead he’ll glare at them from afar (his glare is mean, trust me) he doesnt wanna seem like a jealous boyfriend even though he really is

•or… he’ll just take you away without a word.

•gets attached easily and is always by your side unless hes streaming or out doing something

•basically just a really caring boyfriend and loves you so much to the point it pretty eats him from the inside out

•you’re constantly on his mind <3

sapnap &lt;;3-

•hyper boyfriend

•always telling you how pretty you are 24/7

•adores your laugh and loves to hear it

•i feel like sapnap has low confidence when it comes to relationships so he needs to be reassured sometimes

•now, in some situations he really is big and tough, but in other situations he’s the biggest baby on earth (in a good way ofc)

•his favorite thing is just to be acknowledged by you. As long as you know he’s there and exists, hes pretty much okay

•he has a lot of trouble talking to you about his problems

•you would be a little housewife and he adores that

• “BABY! I love you!!” Out of no where.

•the most giggly boyfriend EVER.

•gets so flustered easily, even when you do the smallest things like give him a kiss on the cheek

•he likes to take showers with you and talk about his day while washing your hair

•will put you on his lap while hes gaming and wont let you get up until hes done with his game,

“babe, i need to cook dinner, let me up.”

“noooooo, just a little longer? Please?” he would beg, and you would end up giving in.

“fine, 10 more minutes and then you gotta let me up!”

“20 minutes.”

sigh

•CLINGY!

•wants to know where you’re going if you’re getting ready to leave somewhere, and wants you to bring him along (or vice versa, he’ll take you everywhere with him)

•now sapnap is definitely more of a speaker when it comes to dudes touching or flirting with you,

Literally will walk up beside you and pull you closer to him by the waist,

“hey dickhead, why don’t you find someone else’s girlfriend to hit on?”

•if it gets to the point where the guy who was flirting with you just wont back off or is being snarky to sap, it might get physical.

•then asks you a lot of questions,

“are you okay? What was he saying to you? Did he touch you at all?”

“sap… im fine! Calm down, love.”

•chaotic troublemaker

•if its a snowy day, he will sneak up behind you and probably stuff snow down your shirt

•snowball fights (he would go easy on you and let you win)

•literally so thoughtful, hes always asking you if you need or want anything when hes going out to the store

•even if you say no hes gonna come back with your favorite candy or flowers

•lots of cuddles and movie nights

•competitive bf, and DEFINITELY will destroy you in Valorant (goes easy on you for your first few games)

•the silent rager

•if you actually keep beating him he will get a bit frustrated and just sit there with a straight face in silence (when really hes yelling in his head)

•admires you a lot. Like, a lot a lot. <3

(i know sapnaps was long i just love him sm)

I know this only included the dteam but if i feel up to it i’ll make another one inluding karl, punz, and/or quackity

[inkbagel]

I drew a postcard for my show :) the concert was really amazing I had so much fun. Genuinely one of the best nights of my life.

Idk if people want to avoid spoilers so I’ll put my rants below.

It was so AWESMOEE I have so many thoughts on each and every songgg that was my first concert experience EVER and ohh man it was spectacular

Heathens was SO GOOD LIVE. Was genuinely my favorite part of the show and HEATHENS ISNT EVEN MY FAVORITE!!! like I don’t dislike any of their songs but I have a very long list of favorites and heathens is not in it. However that being said it was spectacular. I had the most fun during that song I think that song was actually made to be played live and not for suicide squad

The transition from heathens to next semester is so so good. I didn’t notice the similarities in those songs until they were back to back. I do really wish they had played all of next semester instead of like. Half the song but it’s okay the rest of the night made up for it

THEY PLAYED GUNS FOR HANDSSS THAT SKNG MEANS SO MUCH TO MEEEE AAAAAAA I almost started crying when I heard the tune it was so so good. That song genuinely like. Made me realize so many things about myself. I’m so glad I got to hear it live

THE TRANSITION. BETWEEN NATN AND HEAVYDIRTYSOUL. NOT EVEN INJECTING IT INTO MY BLOODSTREAM WOULD BE ENOUGH. THAT WAS SO GOOD. GHHSBFBJGKKC i got a recording im so happy

EVERYONE WAS SO NICE DURING TREES!! I saw so many clips from LA and it looked like hell for those two but everyone was really respectful here and Tyler even started picking people around the circle to stand closest to the islands and I thought that was so sweet

FOREST APPEARANCE??? IN 2024?????? I DIDNT THINK THEYD EVER ACKNOWLEDGE RAB AGAIN BUT THEY PLAYED FOREST!!! I’m glad forest has a lot of nostalgia for me

The thing with the lights in mulberry street was so cool. Honestly the whole show was so interactive he kept calling to specific parts of the stadium and had certain people doing certain things I loved it. Tyler really made sure that even the people wayyyy in the back were having fun and that the people in the pit were getting their moneys worth

After the proctologist line Tyler yelled GROSS!!!! Really loudly and I thought that was funny. He then said “you guys are wayy cooler than me. The only difference is I’m on a stage and you’re not you guys are better than me. Anyway we’re taking a photo losers.” I love him

JOSH SANG. LIKE SO MUCH. HE WAS SINGING DURING STRESSED OUT AND HE SANG BANDITO WHILE TYLER SANG PALADIN STRAIT. HES ACTUALLY SO GOOD AT SINGJNG TYLER SHOULD MAKE HIM SING MORE IN THEIR SONGS.

Right before the show started Josh said into the mic WHATS YOUR ETA? TWO MINUTES! And that was really cute

THE CRAVING BACK TO BACK WITH TEAR IN MY HEART I WAS GOING TO CRRYYYYYY AND SCREEAAMAMMMM AAAAA I LOVE THOSE TWO THEYRE SO CUTEEEEEEEBVBB

OVERCOMPENSATE LIVE. HFJSJSJJDK AKAKGKFKDKEJRJFJFJFJFJFJ THAT WAS SO GOODDD. I saw some clips from other shows where he jumped off his piano and caught the microphone mid air and while he didn’t do that here he def made up for it bc that performance was AMAZINGK.

I think he might’ve been feeling a little unwell or smth because he was definitely not as acrobatic as in clips from other nights BUT I DIDNT MIND! HE STILL DID AMAZING ANYWAY and honestly I could NOT be performing like that if I was sick so I think it’s more impressive if he’s actually not doing good. He’s actually insane

HIS GLOWING MICROPHONEEEE ITS SO SILLYYYY

HIS DISAPPEARING TRICK IN CAR RADIO WAS SO COOL. HE WAS KIND OF CLOSE TO WHERE I WAS SITTING AND. HNGNKSKSKF

During vignette he did grab the keyboard and play it on the floor again I’m like 90% certain he knows the fandom thinks he’s a catboy and plays into it. Bc sir. You are NOT beating the cat allegations. Get off the floor and play your keyboard standing up like a REAL MAN /silly I loved that part actually

I actually started crying when he played addict with a pen. It was so good. That song means so much to me.

I got a really good picture during stressed out which speaking of! THE SKELETON HORSE CAROUSEL?????? THAT WAS SO COOL IT WAS LIKE OUT OF A MAGNUS ARCHIVES STATEMENT WHAT DOES IT MEANN ITS SO COOOLLLLLLLLL

I have not put enough Josh Dun appreciation in this post and for that I am truly sorry Josh Dun you were amazing the whole night you were so energetic your backflip was the best part of the night you were awesome

I think I’ve said it before but everyone screaming “our brains are sick but that’s okay” was so surreal. Like wow I’m sitting in a stadium FULL of people and every single one of them treasures this band just as much as I do. Idk man there’s something so amazing about that. It really felt so amazing. I’ve never before felt like I was the same as a whole crowd of people. We’re all going through our own things but we’re all still here. We’re still alive and we’re still fighting. And tonight we’re fighting together. I loved it

Midwest indigo <3 that song was MADE to be played live I got chills it was so good

This post is getting kind of long and I’m tired so I’m ending it with this picture of Clancy with the glowing microphone I drew :) as a first time concert experience the Clancy world tour was life changing and I am never going to be the same person I was before the concert

[etoilesbienne]

had some thoughts that aren't as serious and nothing to do with the allegations but i want to talk about them before theyre irrelevant for the rest of time so i will readmore them ok

i really really hated it back when the marriage proposal happened and everyone made it out into this cutesy romantic thing 😭 that shit was so uncomfortable. like if you want a deranged forced marriage thats cool i had nothing against that! but every take that was like "they have a fake wedding to kill forever and then everyone just takes it as a real marriage and calls them husbands" and i was like wow thats horrifically fucked up i hope that doesn't happen jesus christ. i would hope their friends wouldnt do that to either of them?? like murder wedding? cool! forced marriage? cool! acting like bbh would want a marriage and not be miserable? nnnnnooo???????? genuinely a nightmare? this drove me insaaaane during the wedding thing i just did not get why people wanted 4halo to be this cutesy romance like dawg i saw people comparing it to pissa and wanting that for them. i did not want pissa that sounds like kinda horrific given 4halo's history?

anyway besides that during the election arc i was always annoyed with the accusation bbh wouldnt let people vote if they were okay with skeppy being added. and then he clarified he would let people vote to approve whoever his new addition was. but then literally no one else had to do that? nobody else gave a fuck about the other islanders voting for a new addition? for the record i would not trade bagi for skeppy. skeppy would not be logging on much at all and bagi is by far such an active and fun character. it was just the fact that was a point of contention that only ever applied to bbh that pissed me off

ok and finally: forever using dapper who was at the time missing to get information out of bbh about the kidnapped worker was extremely fucked up and people taking it as a romantic gesture was fucking weird as hell. like first of all who gives a shit about a worker why would you /EVER/ use someone's missing child you have NO INFORMATION ON to lie to get information out of them. THAT SHIT WAS FUCKED I DO NOT GET HOW PEOPLE SAW IT AS CUTE AND ROMANTIC?

also forever's voting system sucked it got nothing done except ban furniture and literally no recommendations to improve it were ever taken into account. and he wasn't even online enough during his presidency to like actually do anything with it. bbh was right about how to do the voting system and tubbo independently coming up with a similar voting system suggestion to bbh's when he saw it was wildly vindicating

[naakamuraz]

only you, my girl (ethan nakamura x f!reader)

warnings: reader doubts herself if you squint, ethan has BOTH of his eyes, child of aphrodite!reader (though its only really said in one line), theyre minors (in high school)

about: pink clothing-loving girlfriend and gray/black-clothing loving boyfriend. not an ideal couple in the eyes of the gossip circle and, well, everyone at camp half-blood, but neither of you really cares what anyone else says!

author's note: first post!! theres such a lack of ethan nakamura fics so i decided to make one myself! also this was inspired by someone else but i cant remember their @, if you know please cmnt :(

school was exhausting, to say the least.

ethan was never good in school in the first place. you, however, were an honors student since elementary school. way to beat the "dumb aphrodite kid" allegations, huh? but anyways, being smart wasnt always a good thing. especially when it meant your teachers, especially the ones that hated your guts, had an excuse to pile assignment after assignment onto you.

weekends were some sort of escape for you. your weekends typically consisted of well, spending time with ethan, your perfect pair.

this weekend, you both had decided to go to the mall. he would pay for anything you wanted, always going against your protest. you always, always, told him something of the sort : "its okay, ethann! i have my own money. stop it!"

and yet he always seemed to win. you didnt wanna seem spoiled, or like you were using him, cause why would you? how could anyone ever use anyone so perfect?

well perfect in your eyes. during the summers, all you got were weird looks and mumbles. "why is she with him?"

of course, they were either referring to your difference in styles, or the fact that a daughter of beauty/love was with a child of revenge and balance.

needless to say, you didnt really care.. you loved him more than anything, even your my melody plushies!

he found you the cutest girl ever. no other girl could compare in his eyes; you were perfect.

he found your like towards all things cutesy adorable!! especially when you two would stand next to eachother, the contrast between his baggy black cargos and your pink-white skirt all too obvious.

anytime you two went to the mall, he knew you would go straight for the miniso store. though you never really asked for anything before you walked out; presumably because he would insist on paying if you did.

"ethann!" you said, your voice somehow soft like always, even when you werent trying. he was looking drawn to some skateboard store. "you can go if you wanna-" "no, its fine." he'd respond before you could even finish. you didnt wanna seem more clingy -- well, you thought you looked clingy even when you didnt -- than you already did, latching onto his hand like you two were attached at the hip.

"where do you wanna go?" he'd mumble, his fingers shifting positions - you thought he would take his hand away. instead, he simply slipped his fingers between yours.

your cheeks were slightly dusted with a light shade of pink, you still werent entirely used to this yet. nor was he, but he just liked to seem like he was.

you adjusted your white arm warmers, looking back up at him. "i dont know."

"oh, really? you usually know everything." he teased, reaching out an arm to pat down a strand of hair that was sticking out.

"hmm, maybe.." "miniso?" "hey!-" "youre really predictable, y'know-" "am not!"

your small bunny hairclip began falling out, and - before you could even reach it - he adjusted it back to exactly where it was, letting out a slight laugh.

"thank youu, ethan," you said, leaning up on tippy toes to give him a small kiss, which embarrassingly made him flustered.

"miniso it is, i guess.." he mumbled.

couple thoughts on the obscuary episode if anyone's interested

I keep thinking about doing this kinda post but keep putting it off lmao

if people are interested in My Thoughts i might reread the chapter and go more in depth on like analysis, but this is just general thoughts after reading

so first things first, lyca is absolutely hands down adorable, I love him so much he reminds me of my friend's dog who is so excited all the time about being a good boy but also has the most wistful stare uve ever seen. I love that lyca's kept naivety and hope for the future despite the fucked up shit that darkwick put him through, and was so scared when he mentioned his first friend because i Knew how that was gonna end and then.. it did like that

rui living up to the malewife allegations, doing all of the cooking and cleaning around the place, making sure lyca gets up for school in the morning. i remember @/danieyells (i think) made a post at one point about the quiz at the beginning mentioning not sleeping and i was like oh!! thats rui now! but also god i couldn't imagine not sleeping like that is my favorite hobby

ed reminds me of a guy from korra who got airbending and his mom was trying to force him to join the airbenders and he was like absolutely not i'm staying in the basement you cant make me do anything. i didn't realize at first with the img of him when you first meet him that he's barely got his vest buttoned at all lmao. my fave scene with him is at the end where cornelius and moby are like well but you guys lied on this report and ed is like oh yeah where and theyre like ed wouldn't sign this he's too lazy and ed is like wow thats so crazy look over this way for a second tho? and they're like ed????

overall, though i felt like this episode fell flat compared to the others

i think the other episodes had a better balance of action from the anomaly case, building character relations, and progressing the overarching story with regards to darkwick and mc's curse. this chapter definitely had the second two, but not so much the first one. the anomaly felt like it was just an afterthought, and without that driving the plot for the chapter, it didn't feel as strong. the other episodes felt more like they could stand strongly on their own while being part of the main story

it might be personal preference, but it just didn't feel as strong without the central focus on an anomalous mission. my favorite chapters so far have been jabberwock, vagastrom, and sinostra (but also like vagastrom bias lmao so take that with a grain of salt) and i think it really worked to have the interactions centered around the anomaly, while also opening things up with the main story and information about the curse and the Clash and the spy/traitor. in contrast, this chapter didn't have the central focus to work with and in my opinion felt more like something that would be a side story that fits between episodes

again though this is just my opinion and overall i did enjoy the chapter, I just didn't find it as strong or compelling as the other ones so far but if u got this far i'm curious to know your opinions !!

[mourninglamby]

what were ur fav dsmp arcs and characters im wondering 👀

this is a question ive always had a weird reaction to lol. but for the sake of ease ill say exile arc and pogtopia.

i like stories about darker topics that usually pertain to my trauma or that have something to say philosophically. that Tell me something New. ethel cain's preachers daughter and revolutionary girl utena would be some examples of the type of media i moved onto after dsmp.

this is why i would get so angry when theyd prove to the audience that they werent trying to Say anything. but at the same time its complicated and i think the story was told by the actors epistemologically. they had their limits when it came to being conscience of their rhetoric. And I'm not calling them stupid; theyre just normal people who dont think about social commentary a lot.

this story is rly uncomfortable to examine under a microscope or in a bubble, especially considering the allegations against that lying narcissistic sack of pus dream that are still being debated right now. but i think that's what makes me like these arcs even more. maybe like is the wrong word... i am fascinated.

despite what ex fans or dream stans might propagate, exile arc was about abuse. so was the ravine to some extent. it also included characters struggling with ptsd, and very odd yet scarily realistic protrayals of suicidal ideation (sometimes sans trigger warnings until midway through streams or NONE AT ALL ON MAIN CHANNEL VODS). these were handled in a way i doubt any media will ever replicate, and it's not for it's quality of writing, but for how interwoven the people are to their characters. parasocialism probably plays into this quite a bit, but i digress.

i feel like these arcs (let alone the overarching narrative) escape traditional categorization. the only genre i could ascribe it to is theatrical realism for its dialogue and subject matter. but thats wrong too because the events in the story are supposed to be literal, like the three life system and communicators, while simultaneously in Real Life being more.. metaphorical? its hard to explain. it really is a puzzle.

im not very smart, im an art school dropout with years of unresolved issues im still struggling with. but i feel very strongly about this subject. id love to hear what other ppl think about their "favorite" arcs.

Edit : I meant to touch on characters too but I sorta combined that with my discussion of the arcs. So yeah Tommy and wilbur are my fav characters. Short answer.

[sweetvalentinescandy]

trying to make some tweek designs just to like practice or somethin idk ell oh ell im not feeling very confident in my art anymore lowkey

big yap fest for each design under the cut !!

Barbarian Tweek

"ive never really thought of tweek as afab outside of TSOT, but i feel more comfortable drawing top surgery scars [than i do like.. nipples.] ive always seen tweek as trans, usually non conforming/non binary/androgynous in general, but ive never considered transmasculine. but i like the idea!

this is probably my least canon compliant design of this bunch. i feel like the fantasy of TSOT is just so ripe for headcanons. i NEVER draw sp characters with canon in mind really, probably the autism taking over or somethin, but i always at least age them up [more in the main tweek design]. for this design, i was thinking more of what tweek thought they looked like, if not the more au version of TSOT. like, The Thief by Wintergrew on ao3 kinds of non canon compliant. thats also most of the inspiration for basically every TSOT thing i do ever. i love that series (i did cry) (a lot)"

Tweek Tweak

"its the original guy lets have a round of applause honestly..., not my favorite time ive drawn bro. he looks so boring when hes just standing there. i always see tweek as non binary, just because i project on them a LOT.. like. i know that hes a guy and probably doesnt care [in canon], but i just headcanon like that i guess. i also age him up, along with every other sp character, to be around my age so like 14-17. i know thats controversial [and by "i know" i mean i saw someone on sp whisper pinterest say they hated it] but i just dont know how to write kids. theyre kinda boring. i can project more onto teens i guess. thats kinda all there is to say. sometimes i draw tweek with brown pants, but thats because i just like the earthy aesthetic [on them]"

Wonder Tweek

"this is the most canon compliant one. im just not that much of a TFBW guy honestly (which is sad because its the only source of not really canon twenny sigh) but i guess its also the source of some of the best creek. i am not a creek hater but sometimes its hard to fight the allegations when i start crying over them having a cute scene in a video game [not because im mad its because i miss being in a relationship] [frowney tumblr loser behavior] when i say this is the most canon compliant one, i mean it. this is SHORT HAIR TWEEK. [i usually draw tweek with like longer hair like 2021 wolfmullet hair and with the little twin sideburn things idk what theyre called, mostly because i didnt know how to draw short boy hair before getting into sp and thats just how i drew them instead but a year later i finally decided to just do it and thought it was okay for startin out] code red. sound the alarms. theres not a lot to say besides that. (can you tell i hit my peak with barbarian tweek.) [i ordered this by order of how i finished them and yes you can tell sigh]"

[i-have-not-slept]

omg highschool au where instead of all meeting bc of demons and shit (i actually have no clue what happened i blocked out the real plot im just here for the silly anime guy and the dorky bitch arguing) but like there in highschool right and theyre all theatre kids because of fucking course they are you read how dramatic those little shitheads are TELL ME THIS ISNT THE THEATRE KID NICHE THEY WOULD BE

clary: soprano lead who has been training her whole life to get this specific role

jace: auditioned as a joke and can kinda~ sing santa fe

clace showmance. 😖

magnus: agressively condescending mini director who got townsperson #4 and is PISSED and takes it out on EVERYONE

“excuse me. you have to SIGH there. its in the script.” “well thats a… choice.” “if I was the lead this wouldnt HAPPEN.”

alec: the best supporting role EVER like he puts his heart and SOULLL into playing the main characters best friend (he got asked if hes ever done professional theatre by 4 people after opening night) is never beating the gay theatre kid allegations

izzy: the most intense choreographer ever. couldn’t give less of a shit about the show, is just REALLY passionate about dance; is only doing the show because the dance team coach got pregnant and they havent been able to practice. will cuss you out if you cant body roll right.

simon: tries out for every show and never gets a role but he did get front role seats for every show of the week and brought his whole family + the band because he loves them so much (hes a shit actor and got used to the rejection)

YOUR MIND. They would all be so chaotic together, magnus being so overdramatic, simon being supportive, CLACE SHOWMANCE gay theatre kid alec and izzy choreography this is so good

[narwhalandchill]

ok so childes poor mood. lets discuss. i may be a bit insane at the moment but like. listen. hear me out.

(4.2 spoilers/leaks further down, will put a read more,)

so in act I childe divulges that hes been experiencing spikes of feeling like hes in a "terrible mood" and just been in a generally bad mood lately (highly unusual for him in general, mind you) in addition to feeling a power stirring in himself. he also directly mentions being in a bad mood during the act II trial as well - so like sure, its clearly reccurring at this point.

anyway. be it irritability, short-temperedness, anger, yeah, label it whatever - its not the specifics i care abt. the thing i really am quite curious about is how this overlaps with the emotional state of something else.

because you know what else is in a decisively bad mood as well? something that just happens to literally share a metaphysical bond with ajax going all the way back to when he was 14? the thing with a coincidentally telepathic connection to childe that called for him from the primordial sea?

yup. 'it'. good ol' abyssal sky beast. the heaven-devouring celestial narwhal. childes constellations namesake. appears to be malding quite severely as of recently.

"a tsunami of fury" capable of unleashing "endless catastrophe" is how neuvillette describes the force contained within the primordial seawater surging to merupide. like just a casually world-ending primal, ancient rage outright. funny how that goes eh? very curious words chosen there neuvillette. huge fan personally.

anyway this is where i get abysspilled. beware

sooo might the origin of childes increasingly worsening mood just be his strengthening mental connection to the whale and as a consequence its emotions as well? is this seemingly inexplicable and intensifying bad mood simply him beginning to share and resonate with the wrath 'it' holds towards whatever original sin the fontainians are tainted by and that the prophecy is the retribution for? maybe theyre just starting to vibe together. ever think about that huh.

also. if their emotions are already blending together and becoming one and the same. what is the true nature of their connection really?

(same entity allegations Not being dodged. i am sooo normal over this)

and now to add extra bonus context with the forbidden leeks - the whales anger is no fucking joke its literally central to its literal in-game combat mechanic

in the 4.2 boss leaks we see that the whale has a stacking mechanic called rage. which it will accumulate during the fight and once capped trigger the secondary fight phase with. youre literally fighting it as it goes absolute batshit in its rage.

so yeah. this thing is ANGY.

[enlighten3d]

(I SAW DASSABELLE IN MY INBOX AND I WILL RESPOND./GEN QUICKLY THO-)

uhm. so adele and janette’s final death cuz oh boy its been in my head for a whileee

SO. Janette’s weird sprite (not the drink) curse with the flowers that burst out of her skin with a single papercut are a BIG part of this. Basically Janette decides well fuck it we ball ig and tries to stab Adele and during this fight janette gets wounded in either the chest or stomach (i haven’t decided yet) and like. thats already not a good place to get hurt in even without that curse but with the flowers already growing she decides to try to hug adele because.

ok science lesson time (of my oc lore lmao) but the flowers in this curse will push through anything (flesh, wood, stone, another human-) to grow! So when Janette hugs Adele, she’s basically stabbing her with the flowers. So they both die in a hug D: In a way. Well not really but close enough to one lmao BUT AUGHHH YEAH. THEY MAKE ME ILL. But also Josh and Adele never talk again since that was the last conversation they had before adele’s death. And Josh could tell her everything he had to except adele didn’t apologise or anything- *sounds of me falling over and sobbing aughh*/hj/silly

BUT YEAHHHH

hehe dasselbe..

OKAY. preparing myself for this. i think that i, in fact, have not heard this.

oh. oh boy. oh boy. oh boy. weLL THATS RLY FUN SDHLKJFNS

??!?!

lark what the fuck, thats fucked up, im not koay...a sdlhfkjaHKJSHDkjlnlkdjsfhgd

JANETTE BE LIKE 'IF I DIE IM TAKING YOU WITH ME' AND THEN SHE DOES AND what the fuckkkkkkk

do. do the flowers keep growing after they die and cover their dead bodies in their fucked up embrace in a pile of blue flowers (are the flowers actually blue, or is that a hting that my mind made up??? cant recall) and then theyre either painstakingly dug out of there or theyre left to rot there (i mean, no one rly likes adele (other than josh maybe), and no one would touch janette considering the villages attitude towards resurrected ppls..) for all eternity and the flower field spreads in a cascade of death flowers that eventually slowly takes over the village and one day long long after all this a couple of people find jadele and theyre rotted and just skeletons and all thats seen is that theyre hugging and that theyre the origin of the flowers so scientists go 'huge archaelogical find in hotspot of alleged supernatural activity ! we have proof ! these two lovers sacrificed themselves for eachother for the sake of the village' or some shit like that and their legacy is completely twisted and no one knows who the fuck they actually are and- okay i got a bit carried away,d ont m,ind me HKDSLJFGH.........

AAA ADELE NEVER APOLOGISING THO... she would Never in the first place but like. fuck. last conversations being Arguments always gets me. joshhh ))):: he spoke his mind FINALLy, but nothing changed because nothing ever changes he has no control-

im not okay lark what the ufkc

[shoheiakagi]

AUs i’m not sure that i’ll ever write, so i’ll make a post with headcanons part 2: warehouse AU!!

aka AU where y/n is fresh out of college and lands a job as an area manager at a local warehouse, only to be a total dumbass and end up dating a homra boy aka her employee. featuring S4 as the leadership team that is underpaid, overworked, and 100% done with everything

note: this is actually based on real life lol, so some things are oddly specific. also, i wasn’t able to include the hmr trio and anna in this one 😔

rockstar au

just to be clear, warehouse associate is just another title for a warehouse worker, while an area manager is someone they would report to for their shift and assignments. an area manager cannot be having any type of relationship with their associates out of the workplace, as this can be seen as a conflict of interest and cause perception of bias amongst the other associates. this still applies even if the associate doesn’t directly report to them in the warehouse. so in short, managers dating warehouse associates are a huge no-no and can lead to both parties being fired. riskier for the manager since the job markets tough and it will be hard to find another well paying job, especially if the reason for termination was due to inappropriate workplace relationships.

s4 abc boys + fushimi are the area managers along with y/n, seri is the operations manager, while munakata is the station manager who doesn’t appear unless shit really goes down

homra abc boys + yata & kamamoto are warehouse associates

hmr guys are the troublemaking associates that are the bane of s4’s existence. always coming in late smelling like cigarettes or weed, missing from their assigned locations for hours, and always arguing with the managers because they refuse to follow the rules. there is a lot of back and forth between the s4 managers and the hmr guys (obviously), and things calm down once seri gets involved

the boys are either lowkey afraid of her or just don’t believe in disrespecting women. but that doesnt stop one dumbass (either bandou or chitose) making an offhand and inappropriate comment about her. andy and hidaka once got into an argument with chitose and bandou bc they were lounging around in the breakroom instead of working. the two managers were trying to get the boys to get back to work, only for the guys to be resistant, which leads to a verbal back and forth that required seri to come over. it was during that argument where bandou blurts out that seri would be a lot cooler if she got laid more often….only for the entire breakroom to suddenly get quiet and colder than before. bandou learns that day to never make that statement ever again. and he never really got the confidence to look at seri in the eyes after that event

majority of the management team begrudgingly admits that dewa is someone they can see growing within the company, since he has strong potential. he’s less obnoxious, actually understands the business, and when he occasionally puts in effort, he pulls the highest stowing and induct metrics for the shift. his downfall is the friend group he surrounds himself with, and the fact that he doesn’t put in a lot of effort for the most part. one time, dewa actually found himself on the ‘employee of the month’ board, which got the other guys teasing him and telling him to treat them to dinner to celebrate. dewa is just confused cause he doesnt even remember taking that picture (he was high from a smoke session with chitose and kamamoto in the parking lot, when a disgruntled fushimi yanks him as soon as he enters the building and takes a picture of him for the board)

of course fushimi has told a lot of associates, including the hmr boys, that theyre a bunch of idiotic lowlives who have nothing to look forward to. of course a behavioral investigation has been initiated against fushimi, who didnt hesitate in confirming the allegations raised against him. of course munakata was able to pull some strings so that fushimi got away with a write up instead of getting fired, since he is an asset to the team. as punishment, fushimi was tasked of delivering positive feedbacks to the associates, in order to earn their trust. kamamoto and bandou were alarmed and slightly afraid for their lives when fushimi approached them with a compliment on their stow rates and how he appreciates the efforts theyve been putting in. yata, chitose, and shouhei take the opportunity to piss him off even more. yata, being the little gremlin that he is, would have a shit eating smirk on his face when he says, “what was that, saru? cant hear ya when youre mumbling and the musics all loud.” dewa and eric probably get into it with fushimi cause sassy men clash with other sassy men

in this AU, y/n’s personality is really dependent on the homra guy she gets with. so if she gets with chitose, her personality would be completely different from if she were to get with dewa

but regardless of her personality, y/n is a complete dumbass bc she risks her job (and possibly have to pay back a 10k sign on bonus for getting fired before she makes a year with the company) by getting with a homra boy, who happens to be an associate working at the same warehouse as her.

as mentioned before, y/n is a college hire new to the team. she joins around the time yayoi yoshino resigns, which leaves her to be the only female in the team, along with seri. a little upset about yoshino leaving the team, seri quickly takes y/n under her wing as a protege.

but unlike yoshino, y/n has a tough time adjusting to the job and some of the team members. y/n hates the job and is constantly wishing that another opportunity opens up for her.

akiyama, benzai, kamo are too strict for her, especially with kamo being a divorced father. fushimi and fuse are mean and ignore her, fuse being the nicer one. andy is too hyper for her to keep up with, and sometimes a little too blunt. goto is weird, no added commentary. hidaka started off nice, but then started getting creepy with boobs always being the main topic of a lot of his conversations. enomoto, despite being nerdy, is the only one y/n genuinely gets along with. he joined the team a little before her, so they spent a lot of time together during the onboarding process. it doesnt help that he’s clearly flustered by being friends with a pretty girl, so y/n uses it to her advantage by having him complete some of her work

on y/n’s first day, she is immediately noticed by a lot of the male associates, including the homra boys. its not that often they get a female manager joining the team, especially a very pretty female manager who seems to be more laidback than seri

bandou somehow finds her instagram page and shares it with the rest of the boys (luckily for them, her page was public). bandou and chitose shamelessly view her posts and stories, followed by shouhei and eric, who were a little hesitant at first. dewa, fujishima, kamamoto, and yata refuse to stoop to their level.

when y/n realizes that her recent ig story is being viewed by some warehouse associates, she immediately blocks them before making her page private

she is a little intimidated by the group at first, based on what she heard about them and from what she witnessed. once she was done with onboarding and training, she was especially nervous about having to work directly with them, since they seem to be mean to the other managers

the first few weeks in the job had her being tense and nervous while some of the guys would try to flirt with her. but she eventually opens up to them, when she realizes that theyre not as bad as the s4 managers described them to her (well duh, theyre not trying to get with the other managers). theyre nicer to her, listen to her instructions, and even help her out with the larger packages without her even asking. near the end of y/n’s shift, its common for her to be surrounded by some of the hmr boys at her desk while she works on her end of shift report. this pisses off some of the managers cause the boys are still on the clock, but y/n is letting them lounge around her

some of the boys start to vent to y/n, claiming how theyre always being “mistreated” and “harassed” by the other managers, that theyre probably “discriminated” for their tattoos, and that y/n is the only manager who treats them nicely and acknowledges their hard work. y/n being the dumbass that she is, starts to believe them and thinks that the managers are using their power against the boys (which is not completely wrong, but theyre using it for valid reasons okay)

she especially likes the group better when she realizes that there are other male employees who may not be rowdy, but are definitely more creepy towards her. the homra boys may or may not have beaten up those creepy guys outside of work once they heard y/n complain about feeling harassed by them

but out of the group, there is one who caught her attention. the one who tends to walk slower than the rest of the group so that he can walk and talk with her. the one who stands the closest to her at all times. the only one she accepted to share a car ride with, even though she previously rejected an offer to carpool with the entire group. and even though she resisted his advances at first, she eventually lets her guard down by letting him take her out on dates after work, where they grab a meal after a long day, before he finally drops her home. she finds herself to be a goner when she finally lets him kiss her in the privacy of his car. she secretly exchanges her number with him, and follows him on ig after unblocking him. there’s been multiple times where they both would sneak away during work to sneak in a quick makeout session in hidden areas with no cameras.

they both fail to be subtle at work, however. multiple managers slowly start to notice that one homra member always being wherever y/n is. he’s always assigned to her area, he’s always hovering near her when theyre away from the operations floor, and he’s suddenly sitting near the leadership desk where the managers are during lunch, instead of sitting with his friends. according to fuse, that guy is always hovering around y/n as if he wants everyone to know that she’s with him. hidaka follows y/n on ig, and notices that she posted a pic where she’s wearing an oversized jacket he swore he saw that homra guy wear a couple of times at work.

fuse even notices that the homra guy is even more hostile than usual to him after he scolded y/n for making a mistake at work

but shit gets crazy when the guy posts a picture of her on his ig page. he thinks he’s being smart by covering her face with an emoji, but he forgot that he has a lot of followers from work who would be able to recognize that manager, even with the emoji covering her face

you bet one of those followers showed the picture to hr because he was salty that he wasn’t the one who y/n got with

the picture soon started spreading amongst the management team. seri is stoic on the outside, but extremely disheartened. when fushimi first pulled her aside to tell her that she might wanna speak to y/n cause shes awfully close to that homra guy, she was in denial. when munakata would argue that y/n is one of the least performing managers and may need to be put in a performance improvement plan, seri defended y/n and was adamant that there was improvement, and that she just needed time. so to see that someone she put in a lot of faith on and took in as her protege violate a huge policy just like that?? she’s never trusting another person ever again.

akiyama, benzai, and kamo are disappointed, but figured that hr makes the call on what happens to y/n and the homra guy. fuse and fushimi think y/n is a dumbass and should get fired since she’s not that useful to the team anyway. andy and hidaka are betrayed, since it seems like y/n is sleeping with the enemy. goto straight out asks y/n if she’s fucking the whole group. while enomoto? he actually knew this whole time bc y/n confided in him. and was he going to snitch? hell no! sue him for not wanting to cut off the only pretty friend he has

poor enomoto tho. in general, he’s been an easy target for the hmr guys to bully since he’s visibly nervous when he confronts them on his own. but bc he’s always around y/n, he finds himself in the shitlist of y/n’s man. with ‘accidental’ shoves and hostile glares thrown his way, poor enomoto is scared and confused

during the investigation, y/n and the homra guy were both in denial, claiming that the girl in the picture could have been any other girl who had similar hair and nails to y/n. the guy states that he is dating someone else and that he doesn’t like how his privacy is being violated. y/n is the only manager who’s nice to him, but why would he put his job at risk by dating her? y/n states that she heard rumors about the guy liking her, but she would never date a coworker. they dont make it any easier when they both take the same day off after the investigation during that week.

unfortunately for the team (and fortunately for y/n and her man), the picture was not a substantial evidence due to the emoji covering her face, even if there are multiple coincidences and rumors about them. therefore, the most they can do is have y/n sign the relationship policy document, confirming that she understood the policy, and that she understood that she will be terminated if she is caught in a relationship with an associate

that doesn’t stop the two from dating though. although they keep some distance from each other in work, theyre still seeing each other outside of work and going on dates. the homra guy makes sure to unfollow everyone from work on ig, except for his boys bc they knew from the beginning and never snitched. y/n makes sure that he goes private on ig as well, and that he blocks the managers that she’s following. On the week of her bday, they both take the entire week off, which is noticed by the entire leadership team. but until they get a clear picture of the two together, they can’t do shit.

y/n once comes to work with a bandaid on her neck, which eventually falls off and reveals a fresh hickey. the managers are not impressed (“can’t you cover that shit up with makeup?” -andy)

goto once lurks around and finds that y/n has another page on ig thats filled with her posts at the gym. she doesnt have much followers, but he sees that she is following that homra guy, along with her main page. when he shares that info to the other guys, he’s immediately told to pull up the page and take screenshots. but when he pulled the account again, he noticed that she went private, so he couldnt take any screenshots.

will they ever get caught? maybe, theyre not as stealthy as they think are. but theyre both stupidly “in love” and not realizing the seriousness of their situation
