#theyre very normal your honor

[chaos-burst]

[ID: a digital illustration of two D&D characters, one mine (Asche, he/him, on the left) and the other one belonging to @fearless-flower (Kieran, he/him, on the right) done by @sadfishkid. The art shows the two characters from a bird's eye view as they're lying on a bed, spooning and asleep. Asche is a black-skinned tiefling/fire genasi with black, untidy hair and orange, glowing markings all over his body as well as many scars and bruises. Kieran is the big spoon behind him. He is a grey-skinned drow with long, pointy ears, black curly hair and he's wearing a white tank top and a turquoise shorts with small dragons on it. Next to the bed stands a nightstand with pain killers, sweets and two mugs on it. Warm evening sunlight bathes the scene in a soft, orange glow. End ID]

At this point I feel like Tasha is the official artist for my Enor campaign :'D Kieran is a PC (rogue/fighter) in my homegame and Asche is an NPC (rogue/warlock). When the guy who was sent to assassinate you saves your life instead this is what happens. Oops.

like this is kinda cute how alucard imitated integra when he needed to look "good" or somewhat "beautiful" in his standard (like he intentionally dressed up even integra said he looked "different than usual") he looked so much like her here just inverted in colour palette 😭 as if tying their ties in the same style wasnt enough

bestowing my highest honor as an artist to ffxv (drawing the characters in fun outfits)

thoughts under the cut

RREAAAGHHHH SO EXCITED TO BE DONE WITH THIS!!!!! it took me forevarrrr but i soldiered through as an act of love. now excuse me. yap time

OKAY SO the concept behind this was originally specific fashion subcultures for everyone!l ike noct emo ignis dark academia etc. but then decided i didnt want to pigeonhole it all and just freestyled outfits i thought would look nice on everyone

noct - i do think noct would still be emo-ish but also opt for comfy baggy stuff a lot. something you could just fall asleep in on the spot. note the details of bass pro shop shirt (of course) XV necklace, little moon + stars accents, carbuncle + fish keychains. i also wanted his metal band logo shirt to spell LUCIS but i forgor some letters but its not very readable anyways

ignis - ignit ooohghh ignos ignaurs. sorry i made him serve so much cunt it will happen again. i drew him first cause that kind of inspired this whole thing i love him so bad if i didnt draw it id explode. not much detail to note except his collar pins are like his double blade thingies

luna - lunaaa the concept was “clean girl aesthetic” idk if that happened but im actually really happy with how it came out! might be my favorite of the bunch just because she looks so pretty and happy. your honor she should have been able to just be a normal girl and just. chill

prompto - prompotoooo i had trouble picking his vibe!!! my first thought was techwear?? because weeheeeehee he loves tech and well... you know... but then i realized i didnt really like the look of anything i saw + it was so bulky and dark and serious for him! ending up going with some more youthful and baggy. i was considering something more loud and colorful but ended up not going with it. i feel like in canon he'd be too nervous to have such a flashy fit and would want to just look "cool" to fit in with the boys lol. itty bitty details here - chocobo keychain, pompompurin and bi miku buttons, and his lanyard is kings knight themed! i also thought it was funny to write LUCIS on his shirt like you know those shirts that just say BROOKLYN or TOKYO or SAN FRANCISCO and thats it. thats what its like

gladio - okay i know this is going to sound like a lie but im not horny for gladio like at all, hes my least favorite, i think he's just alright. but also i KNOW in my heart of hearts that he would LOVE being a leather daddy and so i had to make it happen. main detail to note here is that his tank top has the motifs of a cup noodle! i didnt know what else to add cause you know.. hes the cup noodle guy.. but also i didnt want it to be so in your face about it with a big as logo so kept it subtle!

(side note the leather daddy gave me an idea for a post where its like noct and prom go to a gay bar all nervous but then they run into gladio and its like "p: GLADIO YOURE GAY?" "n: nevermind that PLEASE dont tell ignis we snuck out" and then ignis walks up and theyre all like WHAT THE FUCK!!!! caption would be "the gang finds out theyre all bisexual." probably wont draw it but i think its very funny lol)

iris - iris my sweetheart.... definitely leaned into the scene vibes here and also that one image of the blonde emo anime girl. details here - of course the moogle big ass backpack and keychain (can you tell i love keychains), but also her buttons are an iris (the flower) and also a crown with hearts (haha symbolism)

anyways oh god i didnt mean to write an essay down here. usually i keep this in the tags but this time i just had Too Much To Say. can you tell i put a lot of thought and love into this . anwyays. *walks off into the sunset and fuckig dies*

"well hey there stranger"

i turn from my book to look behind me, seeing the boy id been actively avoiding for the past two days. carrying his surf board.

i shouldve remembered he'd come here to surf. i just wouldn't have guessed this early in the morning.

"hey jayj."

"oh thats all i get? 'hey'? no 'i miss you so much'?" he sets his board in the sand taking a seat next to me on my blanket.

guess im not finishing my book today. "oh my god jj! youre here! ive been dyingggg to talk to you! i cant believe youre really in here in the flesh! there. better?"

"oh dont be like that- cmon mama whatd i do?" i feel bad with the genuine concern on his face.

okay was ghosting him out of nowhere awful of me? probably. i just didnt know what else to do.

after that night at the bonfire i realized that with my feelings for him growing it wasnt a good idea for us to continue our casual... something. it played with both our emotions. it isnt fair to either of us.

especially after his 'i love you'. that really did it in for me.

"you didnt do anything jj. trust. i just... ive been in a funk. needed some me time thats all."

"well... do you still need your 'me time'?" he looked so hopeful. how could i say yes? where jj maybank is concerned ill easily fold every time. "cause you havent answered my texts so i couldn't ask you to surf with me this morning."

"... i dont have my board. but i suppose i can hang out with you for a little while."

"im honored," he smiles laying back on his elbows, "but really. are you good? i like to think i know you pretty well and this whole MIA thing was not normal."

turning to face him more, i sigh, what the fuck am i supposed to say? 'yea im just so in love with you i cant be around you' yea that would go over really well.

"i dont know. just gotta lot of stuff goin on. you dont have to worry though. im good."

"well do ya wanna talk about it?"

"trust me jay you dont wanna hear about my problems. theyre trivial at best."

"what are friends for if not for listening?" he nudges me with his shoulder urging me to talk. i really dont think i can do this. i was not prepared.

"youre not a very good listener," i point out, to which he immediately takes faux offense. jaw dropped and everything.

"oh thats just not true! i can listen!"

i run a hand through my tangled hair in frustration. this cannot be how i tell him. it just cant. i came here to get away from thinking about this and now hes right here in front of me acting so unserious while im spiraling.

"jj i really appreciate how eager you are to help me but its really not necessary. i didnt really prepare myself and its just too much-"

"prepare yourself? mama what the fuck are you talking about? does this have to do with that night after the bonfire? i mean obviously it does who am i kidding you havent talked to me since then. did i do something wrong? was- was it bad?" he leans in closer, lowering his voice thats laced with worry and guilt.

oh my god that is the absolute last thing i expected him to say. shit i really fucked this up. and honestly just not true.

"what? no! no jj you didnt do anything wrong and it was perfect. promise," i try to reassure him but i know deep down hes gonna over think this whole thing if i dont tell him straight up

i may love him but i never said he was the brightest in the bunch.

"okay so whats the problem?"

"the problem is that it was perfect," i cant help but let out a sigh before hiding my face in my hands as the words leave my mouth.

god my heart is racing, im not ready for this conversation. maybe if i pass out i wont have to. yea if he has to call an ambulance then we can avoid this all together. but an ambulance is also like five grand so...

shit.

"... youre mad at me because you had a good time?" his face contorted in a weird fixture of confusion.

"no! no- god youre so dense sometimes!"

"mama i dont have a fucking clue what youre saying! how does that make me stupid??"

i hide my face in my hands again trying to compose myself because what the fuck kind of confession is this?

"jj im avoiding you because ive been developing feelings for you and i cannot in good conscience keep being so casual with you and sleeping with you knowing this and i know that you do not want anything serious so i figured id just make it easier for the both of us and just take myself out of the situation entirely so that nothing bad happens and i cannot stop fucking talking so please for the love of god say something or do something because i feel like my heart is about to beat out of my chest and-"

oh my god im getting my book moment. he just kissed me to make me stop talking!!! oh my god hes kissing me.

is this where i kiss him back?

of course i kiss him back!! what the fuck!!? and oh my lord does it feel nice, so so so nice.

the way his tongue presses against mine, the way he cups my jaw and pulls me close to him. it was slow and confident and loving and everything he knows i like. his hands find my hips like muscle memory, pulling our bodies together, eventually having me on his lap. where he takes my hands and places them on his chest so i can feel his chest rise and fall with deep breaths.

“… mama you need to learn to breathe.”

“that’s not funny right now jj. im actively having an anxiety attack, horrible thing to say really."

"what're you so anxious about? i think we're havin' a pretty calm conversation, dont you?"

"i mean yea- but thats not-" he interrupts me while shaking his head with a shrug.

"listen, i get why youre a little nervous to say that, all things considered. but i thought it was pretty obvious i was into you, i just didnt wanna push you because you made your boundaries clear so i just took what i could get."

my eyes bug out of my head in shock. am i the dense one? i mean yea hes a really good kisser and i can feel he cares deeply about me when we do stuff and makes me feel safe and supported but that doesnt mean-

yea im stupid. he all but outright said it. actually he has. thats what started this panic.

"... okay yea- maybe. but you agreed they were a good idea so i figured that meant you wanted them there too. and i dont know- it just kind of got overwhelming and i didnt wanna be one of those girls who expects something huge after sex so... you know what i mean? and truthfully youre not what i expected for me."

"what does that mean?" his face showed a little offense.

"i just mean- ya know. for one i didnt expect to love my best friend. and then on top of that i didnt think id love a guy who was a treasure hunting, or- adrenaline junkie i should say."

he leans back putting some space between us, "is that supposed to be a bad thing?

"no! no jay im not saying this right- i-... youre a fighter and youre adventurous- a lot of things im not. if that makes sense. all im sayin is a few years ago i wouldnt have expected to be here. but i like it here. love it here even," i smile at him teasingly trying to ease his worries. the last thing i need is to say the wrong thing right now.

"so what youre saying is that you love me?"

"youre such an idiot."

'but do ya? because i think you do mama."

i roll my eyes chuckling, "yea. yea i do maybank," i press a small kiss to his cheek leaning back into him.

"does this mean youll let me make you a maybank mama?" his eyebrow was quirked up as he teases his question.

"lets not get ahead of ourselves. how about we take this slow?"

he looks down at my button up shirt i was wearing over my bikini to shield me from the ocean breeze, and i could tell he was debating taking it off of me. giving me that same look he always does.

"slow? mama i dont think we're gonna be too good at that."

"all 'm sayin is we dont have to jump the gun, we both admitted it, doesnt mean we gotta change the way we act or announce it or nothing. we can just enjoy this ourselves ya know?"

"you embarrassed of me mama?"

"not at all baby, just want you all to myself. is that too much to ask for?"

he shakes his head leaning up against me, our faces inches apart, "nah i dont think so. i like the sound of that."

i meet him the rest of the way pressing his lips to mine, smiling into it. pulling him as close as humanly possible. i need him under mind skin, in my blood, you know?

"i do too, so we agree? we'll keep this between us for now?"

"whatever you want mama. yes maam."

[devflamme]

back at it again at krispy kreme!!! tumblr please let me put more pictures in the posts. i hate making multiple posts.

agatha all along spoilers below the cut 🫵

- this fucking sequence scared me so bad when i noticed the eyes on the mask. i know that jen noticed it too, but WHY THE FUCK didnt she tell that to somebody. "ok so theres a mask who has human eyes. can anyone see it too. am i going crazy?" jennifer girl oh my GODDDD

- i love when the coven members just have normal conversations like this one. this scene was really nice, even though the tone of it was dark (especially with lilia's visions). also, another thing: the casting directors did a GREAT job casting lorna and alice. they really look like theyre related.

- alice's "i'm sorry" just broke my heart. shes not the one to blame for the curse. and also another detail: she felt lighter during the start of this segment because the curse was "lifted" temporarily so that it could pass to the other coven members. really nice detail (if im right and not just taking things out of my ass)

- yay! gonna have my heart broken again because of a mentor/protegé dynamic!!! yay!!! i love life!!! oh my god please someone take me out of this suffering. it can be with a gun. i dont care.

- i do not have a screenshot of this but when teen got launched away and agatha was the first to run to him, even though she did not get close after and just let alice help him... god agatha harkness why do you do these things to yourself. and TO ME by consequence.

- i love their friendship so bad. "are you okay? you look okay". the protective instinct that alice has is very honorable and just so strong??? especially when the coven members started to catch on fire – she saw rios knife and just went for it so that she could make the circle around them. i love alice so fucking much bro

- im 100% sure that when agatha started to catch on fire and just kept on going through the song, she did not want the curse to go to teen. im 100% sure of that. im gonna cry

- EVERY TIME. EVERY FUCKING TIME THEY SING THE BALLAD, AGATHA LOOKS AT ALICE. is it because she knows that the ballad and lorna are sensitive subjects for alice to talk about? is agatha harkness softening up towards her coven members? gonna know in the next episode. please alice wu gulliver - dont die. please.

- ok this is just because agatha looks hot. i was struggling. kathryn hahn if youre free on tues-

anyway another post. this time only for agatha and rio. those FUCKERS.

TUMBLR USER COOLSYCAMORE I LITERALLY JUST DID 10 CONSECUTIVE SOMERSAULTS THIS IS SO CUTE AND SO REAL TO ME ILL REALLY WEEP

i’m deeply enamored with corazon who likes kissing katakuri’s jaw and the ends of his wide, fanged smile.

it was a slow process, lowering katakuri’s defenses and getting to see behind the scarf, but it was one corazon approached gently and patiently- embraced even.

at first katakuri though rosinante was just being polite, kind as he was, and was waiting for when the distaste would eventually leak through. but rosinante showed no signs of stopping, making it apparent how endeared he was to his boyfriend’s face with how often he craned upwards to nuzzle his jaw, peck the corner of his crooked mouth, kiss right atop his ugly fangs, and stare at him with wide, appreciative eyes when he thought kata wasn’t looking.

eventually kata sat rosi down and tentatively, lowly said “it’s not an act, is it? you don’t have to pretend around me. it is normal to have your reservations.” and powerful, second son of big mom turns off his haki, ever so slightly (terribly) afraid of the curtains finally falling if he took a peek into the future and saw rejection, mockery, disgust.

it was unfair to rosinante, to ever even assume his loving heart was capable of any of it, but his insecurities have long sat on his shoulders along with his mother’s expectations.

but rosi frantically shakes his head, his clumsy hands rushing to clasp over katakuri’s own, and he sidles closer, head ducking to rest comfortably beneath katakuri’s jaw. “i never was- my love for you isn’t an act,” he pulls back to smile widely up at him, lipstick bright and red stretching from end to end of his face, “and i really like that we match. it’s like a couple thing, isn’t that cute?”

physically affectionate cora and katakuri who grows to preen under the attention. katakuri who still wears his scarf outside but cora likes to tug it down ever so slightly and sneak a quick kiss every now and then, kata huffing but never complaining. kata starting to actively seek and crave physical affection, lounging around and tilting his head to expose his neck so cora can leap into his arms and nuzzle into the crook and trace his jawline with his soft lips.

Xixi...how do you think Chillychuck would react w/ a reader with hidden piercings? Nipple, Tongue, Navel, Smiley, ect?.. I've asked Toram the same thing but I love hearing others interpretations (also for projecting reasons)

— CHILCHUCK THOUGHTS: chilchuck x reader with piercings

ᥫ cw: piercings i guess ★ IDK WHY I DIDNT FORMAT IT LIKE NORMAL WHEN I FIRST POSTED IT BUT THANK U ANGEL FOR ASKING FOR MY THOUGHTS HEHEAHEHAEH IM HONORED!!!

EHAEHAHEHAHEHHHHHH chilchuck to me is .. very traditional. i think he'd be the type to not really care about piercings, tattoos, etc (because he thinks people can do as they please and whatnot) but some small part of him finds it a bit strange still, a bit taboo. he never really got the appeal of it much, mainly because i doubt he personally would want to have piercings

that is, until he sees it on someone he finds attractive (you), then suddenly its ... a bit hot, somewhat sinful even. he notices it at first but it takes a while to realize they're piercings.

there are small dots on your face and he thinks they're beauty marks at first glance. much later on he realizes theyre small holes, but for what he doesn't realize until he walks into you changing your shirt on a on your day off. he sees the shine of the piercings before he processes what they are, and when he does he feels an instant mix of attraction and confusion.

because on one hand, he's never really been interested in piercings, he didnt care much about it. they were okay, he supposed, lots of younger people in town had them so they were trendy he guessed. but on you? combined with the way you had your shirt still hanging on your arms, halfway put on? something about it made chilchuck's heart skip a beat.

i doubt he can really describe the feeling or even why he feels that way. even after seeing your piercings and feeling the way he did when he saw you, he'd see others with piercings and to him it's just some everyday thing. but when he sees you put them on, it drives a small part of him insane because suddenly it's the hottest thing he's ever seen. but then again you were always his only exemption.

i think maybe he'd get you ones that he thinks looks cute on you, ones with stars and moons on them, ones that have intricate designs and ones that are simple. he starts encouraging you to wear them more often too, even going as far as asking you to wear them just so he could look at them. his fingers would gently brush over them, admiring how they look on your pierced skin. i think :3 he'd kiss them too, even if you take out your piercings, he'd kiss where they are, something gentle and tender because that's the way he loves.

[enden-k]

THEY'RE SO FREAKING CUTE AS KIDS Omg i cant with them. Babies your honor. So small

(Also wdym Vika originally had red hair- did I miss that or is it new info?)

Im very curious about how Vika's personality would evolve without the influence of his trauma. He would likely be more aware for a lack of a better term, both of himself and others so not having felt like a ghost all his life (which is ironic-) would definitely affect the way he interacts with others and carries himself. Even if in the end he turns out to still be mostly introverted and aloof, it wouldn't be to the extreme it does currently

Which, I love the idea of. I want to pinch his cheeks and coo at how small he is. He deserves every childhood experience he deserves sleepovers with Saran he deserves birthday parties where he is dying to see if the cake tastes as good as it looks. God, he's so freaking cute. I want to dump every blanket on him and protect him from the world

Also BABY SARAN. GOD. I'm dead. Dying as we speak. He looks so mischievous. Looks like he is going to vanish from sight and the next thing you know chaos has unfolded. The kind of kid that you have to be constantly watching. The house is suspiciously quiet kinda kid. Bet he and Vika get up to all sorts of shit and a good chunk of that is his fault

Have i mentioned that i want to pinch their cheeks already. Slice of life AU where they're normal kids and grow up as normal people is killing me. I want to see them throw a tantrum. And just enjoy be kids. Want to see them grow and go to school and complain about homework and go to the park and just. Enjoy life

-🦜. Too weak to them as little kids. Im going to need 3-5 business days to recover from this /j

as i mentioned in the quick post earlier, ye vika is actually a redhead if it werent for the illness/parasite!!

baby vika in this scenario/AU where hes not afflicted w the parasite would still be introverted and shy but not as extreme as canon; hes still a rather calm kid and gets overlooked often bc hes small (until he has quite the growth spurt and by the age of 18 hes the tallest) but hes not as melancholic/sad/nervous/anxious as canon

baby saran is the same as always; a menace to society LMAO. youre correct with everything you said about him AHHAHAHHAH if hes gone from your sights you know hes up to some shit. hes a menace and chaotic and a brave lil fool but he always shows respect and kindness and compassion for others. he always ropes vika into things and yes when they cause trouble its almost always sarans fault AHHAH whenever its vikas, saran takes the blame

theyre def the kind of kids that always stick together; saran is the popular kid but he always looks at vika and gets him to join them all. ppl joke abt vika being sarans lil shadow and saran gets all angry cat like "hes not my shadow, hes my sun!!!"

they grow up together and hang out all the time, help and support and love each other. i think i might draw this slice of life AU fr as a lil mini series aughhhh granting vika the childhood and youth he never had is reason enough aaa

[k4t-11]

i love you (/p)

(turns you into warrior cats)

@z1ish @denserandom @starstruck-webslinger @spear-mint101

explanations or whatevers for all of yall under cut

IM MAKING THESE FOR MY OTHER MUTUALS TOO YOU ARE NEVER SAFE FROM ME /lh

Z1ISH:

i wanted to make you a tux cat because tux cats look like they're wearing suits. and half of the characters you like wear suits. and i wanted to make you a tabby cat too because tabbies have stripes and beetlejuice also has stripes! so you get tux tabby markings.

i named you pinesight because pines are trees and trees have wood and WILL WOOD JUMPSCARE!! and sight because you have an eye leitmotif on your blog and eyes have sight so pinesight enjoy

---

DENSERANDOM:

i wanted to make you orange because they are silly and you are silly as well so you got orange cat'ed. and since orange cats are allwayysss tabbies i had to make you a tabby but i thought a normal mackerel/classic was too boring so i gave you a nice agouti + ticked tabby coat!

and deerfur man you have a ticked coat snd and deers have ticked coats so your fur looks like deers lol. i like deers though theyre very cute and i think i made your warriorsona really cute too

---

STARSTRUCK-WEBSLINGER:

ok i saw your intro post and you said you were mainly a tortie longhair so i MADE you a tortie longhair because catkins gotta look out for and reassure eachother ^_^

and i named you amberwhisker because 1. you like the name amber and it is a really cool name and 2. the suffix -whisker is way too underrated and so are you so you get that to your name, hence, amberwhisker!!!

---

SPEAR-MINT101:

i saw your bio and it said you were a gray tabby minuet cat so gray tabby minuet cat you shall be. i didnt know which type of tabby so you got mackerel tabby lol. accidentally made you look like one of my cats but you should wear that badge of honor /hj

and i know your name looks like some east european word but its not. its its mint (the plant) and sky (the sky) huhu..... i chose mint because. spearmint. and sky because idk i dont see sky as a suffix used often and i dont see people like YOU often either (/pos) so i think it fits you darn well :)

thats long lol anyways enjoy i think :p

[burnt-breadtoast]

A short oncest comic cuz I can

[vamprlestat]

and what are your thoughts on how iv joins!! at first i was thinking hes a friend of iii's and comes looking for him, or an old friend of ii's and reappears, maybe led by sleep. does he have to be turned to join them? maybe he stays with them for a while as a human, and one of them is uneasy about feeding with a human around so they start going without, start starving themself, and sweet iv with the big heart notices and feels guilty about a friend suffering especially at his expense. so he offers for them to feed on him. which is exactly what they didnt want but who can say no to such an offer, and when theyre starving?

charlie holly shit i love this

i’ve been thinking about iv joining the coven for A While™️ now, actually.

in my mind, ii, iii and iv were initially led to vessel by sleep, as humans. they are turned into vampires eventually, if they decide they want to stay and worship sleep. in this scenario, sleep demands blood sacrifices and he consumes the blood through his vessels

i love love love the idea of one of the vessels restraining themselves around iv while he’s still human! maybe they had so many bad experiences with previous ivs that they felt it was necessary? maybe they don’t want to scare him? they really don’t want this new iv to leave, he’s really sweet 🥺

little do they know that ivy is 100% on board with this lifestyle :))) (he’s one of us lmao)

of course he notices that the they are paler than normal, their eyes duller, their cheeks hollow. they look hungry and he gets really worried.

then one day he goes “if you need… you can feed on me” and iii thinks he might be having a stroke. i think the vessels would be very honored that iv would offer himself like that 👀👀 they probably have been dreaming about having a little taste for a long time, they just didn’t know how iv would feel about that.

they all have a lovely time with iv’s offer. and tbh, they still feed on each other as vampires… you know, for funsies 🙃🙃🙃

[thegeminisage]

STAR TREK UPDATE TIME, holy shit! tuesday we watched ds9's "a time to stand" and "rocks and shoals."

a time to stand:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGH

i feel like ds9 is so fucking good every episode i rate "watch" on ym spreadsheet would easily be "must see" in any other trek show. where do i even fucking start

i love that theyre just casually mentioning bashirs darkest secret in playful banter now. theres something in there that makes me very emotional but also it's extremely funny. also, he really DOES quote percentages like a vulcan. whatever he and garak were doing, i don't know what that was but i loved it. literally his boyish smile

oh speaking of couples. KIRA AND ODO. they've got the station all to themselves...um, e quark. i did get deluded for a hot second, when they were all at the bar together, into believing in kira e odo e quark. i don't think that's going to be a permanent feature in my psyche but it was fascinating to experience just once

ODO. MAKES HANDS. TO TOUCH PEOPLE WITH!!!!!!!!!!!

no one made this gifset so i have to make do with a screencap

HE MAKES HANDS TO TOUCH PEOPLE WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i may have had to pause the episode to start screaming

also. hi. "im glad you can still smile" "only when im with you" what if i threw myself into the sun

dukat and kira, holy shit. i've never been so scared in my life. i think about it all the time that he essentially called leeta into his office to fuck him. he BLOCKED KIRA'S EXIT. jesus christ we've come so far from his gay little fireworks show and the thron in his ass

odo manipulating weyoun who's obsessed with him <3 king. but he only did it because <3 kira asked him to. he literally said i've walked this horrible horrible line before i can do it again...their relationship is somehow moving forward because they are going back in time

and like GOD she knows he loves her and she hasn't decided how she feels back but somehow it's still comfortable because he doesn't ask for anything...IMPECCABLE fucking vibes. WHO is doing it like them

on the spaceship side, all of that was very fun, especially sisko and his <3 headaches. but even funnier was them getting stuck 17 years away from help. JUST like. star trek voyager

rocks and shoals:

AND IT GETS BETTER!

kira in this episode. mwah. she quite literally can't live with herself and it's SO clever because at first you the viewer are also like aaaa no dont let the bajorans protest aaaaaa theyll get in trouble and then kira has the change on heart and youre like oh shit. oh fuck. whose side am EYE on?

also, the fact that this was also odo's kneejerk reaction, and she said "don't make me fight you too" and he immediately fell in line. that's love.

garak's "oh, NO" as they were falling. please let the man say "oh shit"

o'brien ripping his pants <3 incredibly funny i felt like i was getting loopy right along with them. the wide shot of the flaming ship sinking into the sea as they laughed their asses off.......cinema

poor dax!!! she tries so hard to be brave but man she really did get fucked up

the little vorta freak in this episode...i want him dead. what an evil thing to do to your own guys AND one of sisko's people died too because of it. ik they won't kil him but they should kill him

i wasn't expecting the thing between garak and nog to have like consequences but it was funt hat they brought it back up. good for them and good for nog, even though i still wish it had been bashir on the post

julian being so chirpy and cheerful w the vorta after fixing him up as though he is a normal patient...sir please control yourself

my only complaint is i wish jake had more to do...right now he just seems to be getting underfoot, when staying behind was supposed to be a sign of maturity. hopefully all his reporting isn't for nothing!!!!

TONIGHT: voy's "day of honor" and "nemesis"

[ratgingi]

lets GOOOOO juniper's lad squad / band members finally have refs

some of you may recognize the second and third ones, thats bc theyre old fav ocs of mine that i bestowed the highest honor (made into dt chars) these guys and juniper tend to get in a lot of trouble together and also the four of them may or may not be active spreaders of vampire rumors ive decided. tormenting those old men

in order from left to right:

kipper | nonbinary, he/they + aroace - bubbly sunshine guy who was adopted by a bunch of edgelords - he loves fashion and gardening (can you guess his fav thing to grow lmao) - theyre actually the protector of the group, as hes the most confident and courageous in the face of danger. also keeps rocks + bandaids in that bag hes holding so he can play healing or defense depending on the situation - he and ashton are qpps - originally had a normal rotary phone for a head, but they got a cute little strawberry flipphone and then had their head modeled after it bc he loved it so much (the white dots are rhinestones !) - technically lives with his parents still, but they travel a lot for work and are rarely ever in town so he basically lives in a house on his own that they pay for - plays an electronic keyboard

ashton | agender, he/it + ace and demiro - antisocial and mean and cranky - hes selectively mute and if he does speak its usually to inform someone hes leaving on account of them being boring or annoying - its pretty athletic and can do a few different tricks like backflips and stuff - he has a major interest in bugs, especially arachnids, and actually keeps live spiders and scorpions in his head. which is unfortunate considering the Massive Hole. he has a favorite scorpion and her name is glass - it's junipers next door neighbor in the apartments, its parents kicked it out around the same time juniper was showing up in town and a friend of the family it was on good terms with helped it back on its feet - hes not very expressive physically or emotionally unless hes angry - has a huge blindspot on the half of his face with the hole and if you come at him from that side and get hit bc you spooked him he considers it your fault - plays the drums

almagest | trans, he/him + gay - goes by alma for short - stereotypical gamer boy who lounges around a lot and eats almost exclusively junkfood - despite having a keyboard for a head he does not like it when hes called a catboy. he prefers to be called a ratboy as rats are his favorite animal he just wanted the rainbow gaming keyboard for gamer gender swag - he has pretty poor eyesight and bumps into things a lot, and is partially why kipper always has bandaids on hand - technically lives in an apartment with his dad, who kinda sucks, so he spends a majority of his life either with the friend group or crashing at the place of his old babysitter Amora (he stays there so much he has his own room at her place) - technically knows how to make games himself and has made small demos of things for fun, but struggles to keep motivation up too much to fully develop anything - plays guitar (juniper is usually lead, hes usually rhythm)
