Yandere! Matt Murdock! X fem! Reader!
A/n: “Recently rewatched daredevil and the punisher to get ready for the new franchise! Back in my phase!”
Warning(s): Yandere behaviors, obsession, Matt being a creep, implied forced sexual intention.
~*~*~*~
He’s logical.
Extremely logical with just a hint of guilt.
Matt doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, was he sick? Was he mentally unstable?
Matthew Murdock would more than likely talk to foggy about his new coming obsession with you in the early stages.
After all, you were just a journalist working to expose criminals in the Dailey Paper. Just trying to pay the bills and get by like everyone else.
When Matt first met you, it was on a bench outside of the church.
His hyper senses felt a younger woman sit down next to him, from the smell of her shampoo, horomones, even what you had for breakfast this morning.
No middle aged to early 50’s woman could down 4 cups of coffee is just a few hours and still be alive.
With just quick causal conversation, you drew him in. Making him smile, making his laugh and feel all bubbily inside. Then when you told him that you worked to expose criminals in the newspaper, the same ones Matt defended in court…
You snapped on him,
Calling him an asshole,
“So you’re the guy that’s been giving me so much pushback. What the hell is wrong with you? Don’t you understand how fucked these people are in the head, Matt? How could you do that?”
Not even giving him time to respond, you stood and walked away.
Any and every woman could fall to his charms but all it took was for you to figure out who he really was and instead of swooning at the idea of sleeping with a wealthy lawyer, you told him off and walked away.
Matt Murdock was hooked.
He’d find out where you lived,
Following you home one lonesome night when you couldn’t make your next deadline and decided to have a pity party at the bar by yourself. It had been such a stressful week anyways.
He needed to make sure you were safe- you had to be safe.
Or Atleast,
That’s what he told himself.
When talking about it to his best friend, Foggy would give him a strange look.
“You uhm.. sure talk about her a lot.. does foggy Nelson get to suffer again by the hand of the charming lawyer Matthew Murdock and his new obsession to fawn about?”
Matt wold laugh it off,
“Well this obsession is very interesting, I’ll have you know. She even cussed at me, and told me off.” He smiled.
Tilting his head, foggy responded. “Sounds like a big catch, Matt. Maybe take the hint,”
—
This wouldn’t stop Matt.
He was too far gone. He’d use his senses to point you out in a crowd. Maybe even for a period of time- the crime rate in Hell’s Kitchen would go up a Jurassic amount because daredevil wasn’t defending the city anymore. He was defending you.
Expect a high chance of being kidnapped in the early stages.
He’s definitely a delusional Yandere.
He’s Matt Murdock for Christ sake,
Handsome,
Charming
Smart
Wealthy
Who wouldn’t wanna be his?
If only you could SEE that, if only you could imagine the life he has for you both.
You’re so special to him,
He hasn’t felt this level of possessiveness since Elektra. He’d do anything for you.
That boss that’s been giving you a hard time? Gone.
Best friend(s)? Gone.
Possibly boyfriend or girlfriend? Gone.
And Matt’s always wanted to be a father..
Wanting to be better than his old man, Hold a baby in his arms and feel there small pitter-patter of a heart.
Your lives together will be beautiful, why don’t you see that?
———
Your head was spinning, wrists aching, mouth dry and eyes swollen from crying so damn much. The weight in your back was sore from remaining in this postion for so long but that didn’t stop the hatred in your heart for the man infront of you.
“I just want to help you,” he smiled, perfectly straight teeth showing, he was close— so close to you. Your thighs rested on his as he sat next to you on the mattress you were chained too.
“Fuck you.” You spat. Using what little strength you had to kick him but he caught your thigh and dug his fingers into your plushed soft skin.
“Now now,” the smile didn’t leave his face, he didn’t even flinch. “Cmon Angel, I know you don’t mean that..” he tilted his head, listening to your heart beat.
You did mean it. Hell yeah you meant it.
But Matt knew his only option was to manipulate you, twist your words against you and drive you just as insane as you made him.
“G-get off me already, asshole.” You tried to shimmy away. His grip tightened. “Not until you give me what I want.. we have a deal.. Remember ?”
Your stomach dropped, a vile sickness in your throat. Of course you knew.
Swallowing it, you nodded. “Fine..”
“That’s my girl.” He smiled a giddy stupid smile, happy you obliged. He leaned in, “don’t hold back on me this time, I wanna taste you.” And before you could respond, his tongue was down your throat. Hand gripping your throat, pulling you as close as possible.
His lips were desperate against yours, he just wanted to love you. As he grabbed your waist and pulled you closer,
One thought ran through your mind as the subtle tears ran down your face..
“Why me?”
*~*~*~*
A/n: “Let me know what y’all think!!!”

scream queen
6.6k / pairing: ghostface!joel miller x f!reader
← masterlist
summary: A stalker outside your window at night forces you to beg for your life in more ways than one. You do what it takes because you're a survivor. And you kind of like the mask on. A/N: please heed these warnings, as they can be triggering for some individuals. No one is forcing you to read this, and if it sounds unappealing, please keep scrolling. This is far different from what I usually post, but I’m feeling spooky and have rewatched the entire Scream franchise in 72 hours. Indented chat means ghostface’s voice changer is on. Thank you to Emmie @hyzer34 for the FREAKING AMAZING ghostface!joel edits!
warnings/information: MA 18+ (minors DNI), horror, dark ghostface!joel, dubious consent (dubcon via manipulation/guilt/survival), reader has a boyfriend (what a drag) so I guess cheating/infidelity, swearing, taunting/stalker behavior, masked anonymous individual, strip show to save a life, male masturbation, threat of violence/death, begging for life, manhandling, spanking, rough oral (face fucking)(m!receiving), pet names, praise kink, degradation kink, clit smacking (?), life-threatening knifeplay, unprotected sex (p in v), the mask stays on ladies, plot twist ending? very barely edited heads-up
You gasp shakily as his hand carefully caresses your tit, thumb featherlight over your nipple, before he cups and lightly squeezes your juicy flesh. You swallow down a lump and cower before him. You’re afraid for when he goes lower what he might find, how your slick is dampening your thighs, and your clit is pulsating for him. You need him. It’s sick, gross, disgusting, but you need him. “Please, Mr.,” you trail off, unsure of what to call him. “Ghostface.” He aids, and you quickly nod as your lips part. Your worst fear is coming true as his calloused hand and rough fingertips guide themselves further down the soft skin of your stomach and to your panties. “Please, Mr. Ghostface, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” You can’t help but feel tears welling in your eyes once more. The masked man sighs and slowly shakes his head in shame. “I don’t think it’s about what I want to do to you. But what you want me to do to you.”
It was a quiet fall evening. You sat on your boyfriend’s couch, ankles crossed along the extent of the cushions as you leafed through what was available on different streaming services. You wanted something spooky for Halloween but not something that would over-excite your imagination while alone. You’re wearing the same thing he left you in, red panties and an oversized black tee you had snagged from his closet.
You figure your boyfriend should be home soon, so you start a bag of popcorn in the microwave. You sit up on the counter and kick your feet gently against the cabinets as you watch the time tick down, listening to each pop as it slowly rattles up its pace.
Your phone’s ring catches your attention back in the living room. You assume it’s your boyfriend as you hop off the counter and swipe it from the arm of the chair.
Unknown Caller
With a roll of your eyes, your tongue rutting out against your cheek, you deny the call. Probably a wrong number or an asshole troll since Halloween was nearing. You’re about to turn back to the kitchen, hearing the popcorn bag rattling with intensity when your phone goes off again.
Stopped in your tracks, you watch your phone buzz with uncertainty as the screen flashes with the Unknown Caller tag once more.
All of a sudden, the air is tight in your lungs, and your body is riddled with goosebumps. Now you were annoyed. You slid across the call button and pushed the phone to your ear.
“You have the wrong number. Stop fucking calling me.” You jam the blaring red end call button before huffing and returning to your popcorn.
The timer slowly counts down, but each pop from the bag makes you jump. 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Your body jolts as you hear something pound against the windows, throwing yourself back against the counter with wide eyes.
“What the fuck!” You gasp as you rotate your head, searching from open window to open window where the banging was coming from. But there was nothing. No one. Your heart rate is slowly increasing, you can feel it jumping in your wrist and your neck.
Your feet quickly skid across the room, locking the house’s back door before running back towards the front entrance, flicking the lock in place. Even if it was nothing, at least you were safe.
Standing still in the entryway, you observed the home to be dead quiet. Your fears were still nesting on your shoulders, that you weren’t alone.
Your phone rings again, causing you to jump from the silence you had grown used to. With a distasteful grimace, you glance around as you walk towards your phone. You accept the call with hesitancy.
“Who is this?” You ask, already maneuvering around the house and shutting all the curtains and blinds in your wake. “Whoever the hell you are, just stop fucking calling me.” You try not to let the panic that’s sitting in your throat be exposed over the phone. Whoever has called you hasn’t spoken yet.
“Hello?” You ask, pausing in the kitchen as you finish your rounds around the first floor.
“Now that is how you answer a phone call.” The voice isn’t familiar, it’s almost… animatronic? It didn’t sound like a person, but the languidness of their voice was all too human. It was low, primal.
Now, you’ve seen these movies before, you weren’t an idiot, and you weren’t going to be one tonight.
“What are you going to ask me? What’s my favorite scary movie?” You taunt, yanking the microwave door open and retrieving the piping hot bag of popcorn from inside, sucking in a harsh breath as your fingertips branded red from the heat.
The voice on the line laughs. It’s almost sinister, not at all comforting. You’re not even sure why you’re entertaining this jackass who’s calling you when all they’ve done so far is giggle at your expense.
“How did you even get this number, you fucking troll?” You probe, frowning as you squeeze your phone between your cheek and shoulder as you pry open the popcorn bag. Of course, it bursts, sending a few pieces scattered around the kitchen. You simply roll your eyes and sigh at the inconvenience.
“Why don’t you be a good girl and clean up the mess you made?”
You squat down to pick up the kernels you dropped, only realizing the extent of what the voice said a moment later. Your eyes widen, and your chest surges with panic. You look around, but all the windows are closed and covered. Was that just a lucky guess, or is someone watching you?
Out of instinct, you reach for the knife block on the kitchen counter and yank out the biggest one. The blade gleams silver in the light, and you realize how exposed you are.
You set down the knife on the counter and quickly move around the house, shutting off the lights and concealing you in a dim darkness.
“What happened to the show? Why did the curtain close?” The low, sinister voice asks, and you whimper quietly in your hand to conceal your fear. “I liked watching you walk around,” he pauses, and all you can hear is your heart pounding, “in those red little panties.”
You hate to admit that this flicks a nasty switch in you, chased and taunted, talked down to by an unknown figure. As much as you’re scared, a small churning begins low in your tummy, and you clench your thighs tighter together.
With a shaky breath, you nibble on your lower lip and slowly move towards the front windows. You slowly peek them open, seeing nothing but your reflection and darkness.
“Can you see me?” You ask nervously, licking at your lower lip.
“Ahhh, there she is.” The voice praises, forcing you to swallow a lump down your throat. “Push those curtains open all the way. Want to see all of you.” You shiver, and the pooling in your panties only becomes more urgent. Someone’s watching you, and they like what they see.
Following the anonymous caller’s instructions, you slowly push open the curtains, your body backlist by a dim light still on in the kitchen. The voice hums in appreciation.
You blame it on your state of panic for not thinking clearly or logically for that manner. This creep wanted you, you could hear the slight desperation clinging to their voice.
“Promise me you won’t fuckin’ harm me, and I-I’ll put on a show for you. Isn’t that what you want? You said you liked my panties.” You breathily point out, opting to put the phone on speakerphone and setting it down on the bench in front of the now curtain-drawn windows.
The voice on the other line hums, pondering your offer. A shiver rolls over your spine as you subconsciously cross your arms in front of your body, scared and nerve-wracked.
“You have a gorgeous body. Let me see it. All of it.” The voice echoes within the quiet home, and you blink back the fear that is resting heavily on your chest. You take in a shaky breath and do as you are told.
Your hands go to the hem of your top, about to lazily toss it off when you are tsk tsk-ed at. You frown and quickly pull the t-shirt back down.
“Not like that!” The voice barks, angry and condescending, making you whimper. The voice pauses and takes a breath. “Slower.”
“Slower..” you whisper back, hearing the voice hum. You still couldn’t see outside, merely darkness and your reflection. You were fucking terrified, but if this was what they wanted, just maybe they’d let you be.
You try again. Your hands slowly start at the sides of your neck, pretty and dainty fingers cascading down to your clavicle. You push one hand into the hair at the back of your neck, lightly ruffling the strands while the other skims lower to more dangerous territory.
The heel of your palm skirts down the front of your shirt until your fingers flitter over the hem of your panties.
It feels stupid what you’re doing, but it makes you feel alive. Your heart has never beat faster. You’ve never turned on a complete stranger, stalker, even. You were in control of the show here.
You’re not exactly sure what to look at in the window, so you admire the reflection. You hum sweetly as you hook your thumbs into the tops of your panties. You loop them around, from front to back, stopping at the sides and lightly pushing down to show glimpses of your hips.
The breathing on the other end shuffles. It almost makes you stop.
“This turn you on?” You ask. “Does this make you have your hand around your cock?” You ask into the phone, smiling lightly as you turn around, lifting up the shirt from covering your ass, giving them a peek-a-boo of you from the back.
The evil voice echoes a laugh. “How did you know?”
Being correct makes you all the more turned on. “How could you not?”
I mean, look at you. You looked gorgeous and confident, silhouetted by the light, awed by a strange man. You can hear them jerking it on the line, murmuring little grunts to try and not get ahead of themselves. The show had just begun.
With your back turned to the window still, you cross your arms over your threshold, retrieve your shirt, and lift it up and off of you. Your hair cascades and dances around your back and shoulders. You felt bare, cold. Part of you wished they would come inside and warm you up.
You peer over your shoulder, hearing the approving grunt on speakerphone. You bit on your thumbnail, looking through the glass with big doe eyes.
“You’re not so innocent, pretty girl. Let me see you.”
Now, with your body to show, you felt a bit more nervous. Your fingertips twitched, and you felt shaky on your legs. You did as the voice asked, turning to face the window. Your arms are crossed, covering your bare breasts meekly.
That’s when you see him. A masked man standing a fair distance away out your window. It quickens your pulse and surges you with adrenaline.
Yet you don’t run. You don’t hide.
Your eyes flitter down to their hand shuffling up and down the extent of their cock. The sight alone, even in the dark, being able to see his impressive length was enough to make you let out a needy whimper.
“I-I don’t know about this,” you whimper, your head falling a bit shamefully. It’s like your head caught up with your foolish actions.
“I’m warning you. Put down your fucking arms.”
You let out a shaky breath and wince at the voice, tears simmering on your waterline. You put yourself in this position, you can’t believe you thought this would work.
You slowly drop your hands to your sides, exposing your breasts. And how embarrassing they were, taut and at peaks. They were flush with color, begging for attention. You interlocked your fingers behind your back and chewed on your bottom lip, shyly looking down at the floor as you clamped your thighs tightly together.
“You’re a real beautiful girl,” the voice grunted, flattering you with attention. “Why don’t you let me in.”
The demand didn’t frighten you like maybe it should have. Frankly, you were turned on to the point where it nearly hurt. You didn’t know who this mystery person was or what their intentions were, but they were getting off to seeing you exposed, scared, and alone.
“Come on,” the voice continues. You hear shuffling, and when you look up, the masked man outside your window is gone. You move closer and peer outside, but it’s quiet. Empty.
“Let me take care of you, sweet girl.”
Breaths fans out hastily from your nostrils, panicked as you looked around slowly from the front entrance to the back.
The doorbell rings, and it makes you jump nonetheless.
You bite down on your bottom lip as you retrieve your phone and slowly cross to the door in just your socks and underwear. Your forearm covers your breasts. Your hand rests on the handle, but you have a hard time willing yourself to open it.
The doorbell rings again, another jump through your bones, but this time, it implores you to swing the door open. And there he was.
He was tall, you had to crane your neck to look up. Your lips part, doe eyes taking in how close he is, stepping back in shock at his appearance. Broad shoulders cloaked by a black hooded robe. It was tattered, lined with rips and tears at the seams that draped from his arms. He also wore large, black, combat boots. The scariest thing of all was the mask. It was white with black eyes and a sloped open black mouth.
Whoever was behind the mask was fit. Their toned body could be discovered even behind the robust black robe. He wore black gloves, too. You don’t realize that as you’re taking him in, the protective arm you had concealing your breasts has since lowered.
“Scary night to be alone, isn’t it?” The voice is still animatronic as the masked man’s head tilts and observes you through the black cloth eye holes.
You nod your head, its pace quick.
“Invite me in. Don’t want you to catch a chill.”
It was disturbing to admit how stupid you felt letting this freakshow stalker into your boyfriend’s home, but in a really weird and taboo way, you found the anonymity of the man attractive. You saw his cock while he stood outside, his large hand stroking over himself at the sight of your body. You figure he must have put the gloves back on once he wanted to come inside.
As if he could read your mind, the masked man stepped inside with his tall stature looming over yours. He slowly plucked off one of his gloves, and you see his flesh.
You watch him carefully as he brings his hand to cup your cheek. You flinch at first, but there is truly nothing to be frightened of. He strokes away a dry, panicked tear from earlier. You can’t help but let out a shaky, wavering whimper. He touches you with such delicacy but hides behind a mask that scares you to your core.
“Just as I thought,” His animatronic voice echoed, his hand dropping to your hair that fell around your face and sweeping it behind your shoulder. “You’re beautiful.”
Your hair was no longer concealing your breasts. You gasp shakily as his hand carefully caresses your tit, thumb featherlight over your nipple, before he cups and lightly squeezes your juicy flesh.
You swallow down a lump and cower before him. You’re afraid for when he goes lower what he might find, how your slick is dampening your thighs, and your clit is pulsating for him. You need him. It’s sick, gross, disgusting, but you need him.
“Please, Mr.,” you trail off, unsure of what to call him.
“Ghostface.” He aids, and you quickly nod as your lips part. Your worst fear is coming true as his calloused hand and rough fingertips guide themselves further down the soft skin of your stomach and to your panties.
“Please, Mr. Ghostface, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” You can’t help but feel tears welling in your eyes once more.
The masked man sighs and slowly shakes his head in shame.
“I don’t think it’s about what I want to do to you. But what you want me to do to you.” He aggressively cups your sex, feeling his fingers squish with the soaked material of your red panties. You whimper and clutch his arm, biting back whimpery moans that you’re so desperate to let out. You were secretly begging to be touched. Your thighs clamp around the man’s hand.
He deviously chuckles. “This is all for me, sweet girl?”
The man walks you backward until your back is flushed to the wall. You’re still holding his arm in place between your thighs. His fingers add pressure to your bundle of nerves. You lightly grind your hips down into his fingers and let out an embarrassed little moan.
“Y-Yes.” Admitting in defeat made your stomach churn. “But I want to hear your voice.” You whisper, unsure if you can even make demands in your position right now.
Ghostface sighs weakly but plucks something out from under his mask. It looks sort of like a smaller walkie-talkie. It was a voice changer. Your eyes flitter to the eyes of his mask. It was black, empty. Finally, you would hear his true voice, and you prayed it was as sexy as he looked.
“Is this what you wanted to hear, darlin’?”
You lightly gasp at the southern drawl, deep and guttural, musk-filled and leaving you in a tailspin. His voice was hot, causing a pool of your white-hot heat to leak once more into your panties. You finally nod to his question and let your hands skim across the man’s front. He was toned, like you imagined, with hardened plains and a toughened, thick torso under his black cloak.
“You’re comin’ with me.” The voice growls. He leans down and scoops you up, throwing you over his shoulder as you gasp and whimper, feeling him trail you up the stairs. His black combat boots echo loudly through the stairwell. He’s so strong. How he knows the layout of the house scares you and implores you. It’s like he knows you, and you may know him.
He takes you to the master bedroom, the one you share with your boyfriend. Fuck, your boyfriend. A naughty sin to cheat, a naughty sin to like it. It’s hard to picture him right now with the man above you captivating your full attention.
Your breasts jiggle when he throws you back onto the mattress. You scramble further up it, putting a safe distance between you and Ghostface. He grips you at your ankles and pulls you to him in an eager yank. A cry escapes your throat, but it’s just because you’re nervous. You saw how big he was in his hand outside, and now, soon, you’d hope he would be inside of you.
“Please,” you whimper, and Ghostface tilts his head. “I-I..” you trail off and shake your head, embarrassment and shame pumping through your veins.
“You, what? Spit it out, pretty girl.” The voice says as he slowly takes off the hooded robe. He wears black pants and a black t-shirt under it but keeps the mask on. You like the mask on.
“I… I need you, Mr. Ghostface, please,” you whimper. Since he pulled you by your ankles back to the edge of the bed, your centers lightly graze one another. You make it a point to grind your hips eagerly into his, smearing the front of his pants with your slick.
The masked man hums in appreciation. You feel his hardened length concealed by his pants. Whimpers leave your mouth as you sit up and reach forward, unbuttoning the black pants with shaky hands. You unzip him and yank him free of his confines. You nearly freeze at his length, prominent veins lining up and down his cock from his pink tip to his swollen balls.
“You wanna live tonight, baby girl?” The low southern voice asks. You quickly nod, big, desperate eyes wanting to fill his every carnal need.
“Then get on your fucking knees, m’gonna fuck your throat.”
He’s aggressive as he pulls you down onto the floor by your hair. You scream out of instinct, but the heat on your scalp brings needy relief.
You quickly scramble properly to your knees and shuffle your hand over him. One hand isn’t enough, so you add your second. He’s so large and girthy. Fucking your mouth would hurt so good. You hope you’re a slobbering mess for him once he’s done with you.
“Did I say your hands?” You frown and slowly stop, shaking your head. “I said your throat, want your fucking throat, you little slut.”
You whimper and force yourself to put your hands behind your back, your breasts perking out more as you spit over him, watching it glide down his shaft and spill onto your shaking thighs. You lick your lips and wrap your mouth around his sensitive tip.
The masked man seethes through his teeth. He takes off both gloves and knots his fingers into your hair. You’re intimidated by his size, anyone would be, so you try to relax your throat and let him sink further and further in.
Your eyes go wide as he rams himself down your throat impatiently. Your hands instinctively fly up to his thighs, smacking at them and clutching desperately, trying to explain with a lack of words that you’re choking on him. You cry out, but his cock muffles you.
“M’not a patient man, I’m warning you now.”
You clench your teary eyes closed and sniffle, trying your best to swallow around him and breathe through your nose. Your black mascara tears turns him on, and he twitches in your mouth.
With a shaky breath, you try again. You have to start slow at first, but you remember how impatient he is. You slick his cock with your spit, trying to work up his shaft inch by inch.
“Open your mouth up, nice and wide for me.” The sight of his mask makes you twitch, but you do as he says and drop your jaw for him. You even go as far as to stick out your tongue for him.
“Wow,” he admires, as both of his hands wind up into your hair and carve out sections of your hair to create ponytails in his fists. “Such a good girl f’me.”
His praise makes you purr, bringing your hands up to your front as you massage over the squishy flesh of your tits.
You let out a low mewl as he stuffs your mouth again, stuffing your face with his cock. It takes a few moments, but you gradually learn how to accommodate him. He hits the back of your throat repeatedly, and he likes it when you choke around him. You try to see him through your teary eyes, whimpering around his cock.
The masked man’s grip on your hair tightens as he pulls you into his cock and holds you there, balls flushed to your mouth as they smack against your chin. He groans, long and low, holding you down as his cock suffocates your throat. You swallow around him, tasting drops of precum, whimpering around him as you struggle to breathe. Despite it causing you to choke even more around him, you stick out as much of your tongue as you can and teasingly lick at his balls.
He sucks in harshly through his teeth and moans, gripping the ponytails even tighter, making your scalp sear in pain. But it was all worth it because he was so goddamn big in your throat. You hoped he would split your pussy.
With a harsh yank, the masked man rips you from his cock. You instantly cough and gag, trying to swallow around the excessive puddles of saliva grouping in the back of your throat and now dripping out of your mouth. You looked like a disgusting mess.
You plant your hands on the floor and drop your head, looking like a dog as you shakily regain your breathing. You slowly look up, seeing his hardened cock slap up against his toned stomach, dripping with your slobber.
You meekly wipe your mouth with the back of your hand and stand up, your legs shaking beneath you. With as much courage as you can muster, you reach for Ghostface’s hand and slowly pull it to your center as you sit on the edge of the bed.
“Please,” you beg in a meek whisper, swallowing the messy amount of existing saliva and precum down your throat as you blink through black, mucky, mascara tears. Your eyes flutter as his long, meaty fingers slowly circle around your clit through your panties. It’s jaw-dropping, stomach-fluttering madness. It’s like he knows you like the back of your hand. “Please, fuck me.” You whisper desperately, pulling him slowly towards the direction of the bed. Towards you.
You don’t feel any more safe with him, but you like the excitement of feeling on the fence. Would he be rough or gentle with you? Call you his sweet girl or his little slut? The edging of unsureness and torrid manipulation has forced white hot heat to pool into your core, and you sure as hell spoiled these red panties enough.
The masked man drops his gaze to your mound. His hands reach up to the sides of your hips.
It’s slow and desperate at first, he almost fools you. Ghostface weakly chuckles before he begins to rip the measly material from your lower half. You yelp out as it causes your body to get tugged around. Your panties are now a mess of threads on the floor. You whimper desperately, clamping your thighs closed on instinct despite wanting the opposite.
Ghostface grabs your ankles and forcibly parts your legs, turning his head slowly as he watches your glistening core.
“Y-You could have a taste, y’know, if you take off the mask.” You offer, your heart pounding in your chest. You loosely hook your leg around his hip and pull him closer. Ghostface plants his hands on either side of your head, hovering over you as his heavy breath puffs through the mask.
Ghostface pulls one hand away to his side and shucks something off his belt. You gasp and flinch your eyes closed as a large knife glimmers in the moon’s light.
“You think I’m going to show you my face, you stupid bitch? Huh?” He taunts you, wielding the knife closer and closer to your throat as you cry out, but clamp your legs tighter around his waist and pull your centers together. You can feel his fat cock sliding up and down your exposed folds. You’re so needy, and it’s repulsive.
He sickeningly laughs, jutting the tip of his knife against the underside of your chin. It hurts, it stings, and you hope it leaves a mark from him so you can look at it later when you replay this night in your mind. You hope he spares you so you can think endlessly about him.
“I-I want you to keep the mask on.” You purr nervously, your hand drifting down your stomach towards your exposed mound.
Ghostface chuckles, low and demonic. “You want me to fuck you with the mask on?” He asks slowly, trilled with curiosity.
It fills you with a pit of guilt and shame in your stomach. But you slowly nod. You were willing to risk everything, your boyfriend, your safety, your life, just to ensure this man filled you to the brim like you know he could.
“Please do. Fuck me, Mr. Ghostface.” You beg. Though you can’t see, you imagine him smirking behind his mask, looking at you with a sense of intrigue and disgust. How could you be so twisted?
“My pleasure.” He says goadingly, ripping the hold you had on the sheets and yanking you closer to the edge of the bed. You cry out as he forcibly spreads your legs with his body and slaps his cock against your aching center. You’re so sensitive from waiting, you needed to have him this very second.
A smirk twitched on your lips, but you forced yourself to bite it down, shakily moaning as Ghostface tucks away his knife and wraps his large hand around his cock, lining up his tip to your dripping center. You flinch every time he purposely flicks your anxious bundle of nerves.
“Fuck,” you whisper, your hand clutching his bicep greedily. “Please, need to feel you inside of me.” You whimper.
Ghostface reaches up and smears his hand down your face, your cheeks smudged with your mucky tears as you whine like a little brat. For your insolence, he strikes you across the face before nastily grabbing you by your cheeks and forcing you to look at him.
“Bein’ a real fuckin’ brat for a stranger’s dick, such a fucking hungry cock slut, aren’t you?” He degraded you to your very core, soiling his cock in your gushing slick. You were pretty sure that if he even just breathed over your mound, you would come.
Ghostface enjoys your desperate whimpers for his dick. He’s more than happy to deliver. He angles his tip to your entrance and notches himself inside. Your gasp surges his adrenaline as he parts you egregiously.
You hook your hands on the underside of your legs, keeping yourself wide and spread for the masked man above you. Inch by inch, you feel your head lose focus, your mind floating as you see stars that consume your vision.
The moans you give him are heavenly, he thinks he’s never heard a more beautiful thing. He’s a sadist watching you take his cock, knowing it hurts, knowing you’re forcing yourself open for him, knowing how much you’re drunk off it. He just can’t help himself to wait.
Air is knocked from your lungs when Ghostface decides he’s, again, not a patient man. He fucks the last few inches into you and hard, pushing you to your limits and filling you to the brim.
Your head is thrown back as you scream in shock, never having been fucked by someone who feels so good. You sob as your walls flutter around him, attempting to accommodate the size in such a short amount of time.
“Yes! Jesus Christ- Fuck!” You moan out, to which Ghostface chuckles lowly.
“Take me so well,” he’s trying to breathe through being squeezed so tightly by your walls, even he finds it difficult. “Such a pretty girl, just needs to be fucked to keep her- shit - her goddamn mouth shut.” The man growls behind the mask and starts to fuck you at an earth-shattering pace.
You cry out in shock, gripping Ghostface at his biceps and whimpering at how strong he is. He pulls himself nearly all the way out of you before he flushes his hips right back to you, slapping your ass cheeks with his clothed thighs. That’s when he really begins to rail you.
You see stars, still adjusting to his size, your slick pooling around him with excitement. You hazily smile, fucked dumb by a stranger, filled to the brim as you stare at the ceiling. Your visions jumps up and down as Ghostface pounds you senselessly. The bedframe rattles and the legs skirt against the hardwood floors.
Impatient whines from you fill the room as he pulls himself from your pussy, moaning out for him needily. He manhandles you, grabbing your hips forcefully and flipping you over onto your stomach.
“Ass up, let’s go.” He commands.
You were still in a funk, head wiped empty of any palpable information. You whimpered as you tried to move but at the pace of a snail.
His impatient hands grip you tightly at your hips, forcing a broken yelp from your throat as he pulls you up to bend over, shoving your face into the mattress and angling your ass up for him to use.
“Yes, please use me,” you whimper desperately, reaching your hands back and parting your ass cheeks for him. “Finish inside me, use me as your cum dumpster.” Where was this language coming from?! This wasn’t you, you didn’t sound or look like you. He was turning you into someone new, someone satisfied by his anonymity. You’d never know who was fucking you senseless, and it might drive you mad until you find out, if you ever will, that is.
Your thoughts are squashed from your mind as a harsh slap followed by a greedy grip is splayed across your ass. A yelp is pulled from your throat, instincts telling you to flinch away and protect yourself.
“Ah-ah,” the man teases, his angry fingers creating bruises on your hips as he pulls you back to the edge of the bed to be his little sex servant. “Good girls take what they are given, so take it,” Ghostface says as he smacks your other cheek, reddening them both, jiggling the flesh much to his appeal.
His large palms seared his prints into your ass, gripping your ass and pulling you to his cock. He lines himself up, and you take him again.
You don’t understand unless it’s happening to you, how it feels like you’re floating in space, fucked numb but also feeling like you’re on pins and needles. It’s indescribable to enjoy being fucked by a stranger, but it’s happening, and it’s happening to you.
He penetrates you, parting your walls, making himself a home inside you. You squeeze around him, and he moans. It satisfies you so intensely.
“Beg for me,” he mutters through the mask, grunting with each thrust. He must be close.
“P-Please, keep fucking me so good, please Mr. Ghostface-”
“No!” He strikes your pretty ass again, hard, and your warm flesh singes with heat. You whimper, imagining how red, angry, and large his handprint looks stamped on your ass.
“Want you to beg... for your life.” His voice had turned as cold as stone, ridged with a sadist tone that left goosebumps bubbling on the surface of your skin. A scared feeling sunk into the pit of your stomach. You swallowed a lump down your throat and shyly peeked around your shoulder to take him in.
“P-Please… I want to live,” you whimper, your hands fisting the sheets as Ghostface slowly picks back up the paces of his thrusts. He’s turned on by this.
“Oh my- please, I know you d-don’t know me, but I’m good, l-look how good I’m being for you,” you begin to cry as he fucks you harder, your ass clapping aggressively against his thighs and the grip he has on your hips intensifies.
He loves fucking you until you cry. Such a sadist.
Ghostface gives a few last gut-twisting thrusts, and his tip kisses your cervix repeatedly. He’s so large you can feel him in your tummy. His hand reaches around your hip, and the other stays gripping your ass while he spanks your clit lightly with his fingers.
“Fuck!” You cry out, beginning to throw your ass back into him, creating your own unique rhythm together. You’re so sensitive, and you’re coming before you can even fully register it.
“Mr. Ghostface, please,” you whimper. “I-I’m coming so fu-ucking hard,” you mewl for him, your thighs twitching along with your walls that squeeze around him, begging to milk him for his seed.
Ghostface’s thick and angry cock twitches inside of you, desperate to fill your needy hole with his sperm. He grunts and pants into the mask, filling his own body with a heat that makes him sweat. He pounds himself into you until you’re flattened against the mattress, begging for release, begging to live.
There’s something about your obedience that he gives into, his cock twitching deep inside the warm comfort of your walls and between your beautiful ass cheeks. He pulls out and pants, handling his cock as he paints your ass white.
The warm droplets of come make you twitch, but it’s so hot to be painted white by the man who praised you and degraded you all night long.
You’re a heap of nothing strewn about the mattress. You can’t seem to calm your shaky breath. You lay there limp, unable to move, unable to think. All you can think about is the man behind the mask and how irate and perverted he is. And how much you fell into his trap.
Shame twisted your guts enough, forcing you to get up and turn around and face your stalker. But when you turned back, he was gone. How long were you not paying attention?
You quickly retrieved your robe, forcing yourself to walk despite your legs feeling like liquid gelatin. Checking room to room, you survey your boyfriend's home and are left empty-handed. It’s like he was never here.
From the top of the stairs, you hear the door open and close.
“Honey?” Your heart sinks, hearing your boyfriend kick off his shoes on the mat.
Rushing down the stairs, you collapse into his arms and cry out of guilt. You tell him everything. Everything besides the show in front of the windows and getting fucked by Ghostface in his own bed. There’s more to leave out than to leave in, but the short story is that you were taunted over the phone by a masked man, scared to death, and begged for your life.
His first reaction was to call the police, and despite how much you hesitated, you let him. Two nice offers responded to the call. They sat you two down separately and asked you what had happened. You were wrapped in a blanket and your robe, shaking in disappointment.
It was scary, lying to the cops, withholding all of the truth. Making sure not to overshare any details. You also didn’t want to give away that you liked it. To the bone, you liked it.
You were hunted like prey tonight, used, fucked hard until you couldn’t breathe. Left in the dark, feeling a little crazy if it even happened in the first place. But you could feel him still inside of you, stretched and still leaking between your thighs. You tugged your robe tighter, smiling weakly at the officer as he closed his notebook.
“We’ll figure out what we can ma’am. For now, keep everything locked up. I wouldn’t leave the house alone.” You wipe away the mucky mascara on your cheeks and sigh, nodding as you walk with the officer to the door.
His badge read J. Miller. He was older, stippled with grey hair within his dark curly locks. He had an aquiline nose and plumish-rose lips. His broad chest strikes something somewhat familiar to you. He glances behind you at the officer who is still asking your boyfriend a few questions.
Officer Miller sighed, looking over the door frame curiously.
“Said you locked the doors?”
You hesitate but nod compliantly.
His pointer finger shapes over the lock, then the entry metal hinge. “No forced entry.” He notes, looking at you curiously.
You evade his eye contact and conceal yourself tighter in your blanket and robe. “I.. I don’t know how he got in.” Your eyes find the floor, planting themselves there as you stare at Officer Miller’s familiar black police boots.
He hums curiously, looking over you slowly.
“You’re tellin’ me everythin’ that happen to you tonight?”
Your doe eyes go wide, your head snapping up to Officer Miller’s. “I-I promise, please, Officer Miller-”
He holds up a hand to cut you off, and you weakly stand there with your lips parted. Then he starts to nod and slowly smile. “That’s a good girl.”
It strikes you like a bolt of lightning, fear and curiosity consume you. You hear footsteps behind you, the other officer, and your boyfriend, who collects his arm around your shoulders.
Officer Miller watches you with a glint of intrigue but nothing more. His eyes shift to your boyfriend’s arm protectively wrapped around you. It makes him twitch up a stomach-twisting smile before he turns to his fellow officer.
“Got everything you need?” Officer Miller asks, tucking his thumbs into the front of his belt while he observes the other officer’s notepad. The officer nods and places his small notebook and pen in his breast pocket.
“Got everything we need. You two stay safe.”
The other officer ducks out first and nods curtly, Officer J. Miller stands there a moment longer.
“Happy Halloween.” He said with a sickening smile. “Be sure to lock the door behind me.”
You gulp as you look over Officer Miller meekly before he disappears outside and into the night. Where he belonged.

Austin & Ally (Auslly) Dynamic Analysis
Hello Again!
A while back I posted an A&A Analysis in which I asked what other things you want me to yap about. Well, this Yap Session was asked by @filmmakerdreamst so I was eager to answer!
The last one was about Auslly having horrid parental supervision and just bad parents in general. Which you can read here:
But today, we are talking about the Auslly Dynamic as a whole and in each season specifically in order to truly gauge why Austin and Ally have such a strong bond that any singular other character duo can replicate.
Warning: This is LONGGGGG lol
SEASON ONE: THE BESTEST OF FRIENDS
Season One was pure platonic friendship and I love that. Of course, they had that episode where Austin thought Ally had a crush on him and flipped out, but that was only because he didn't want to ruin their friendship and partnership with silly feelings and crushes. They were comfortable being friends and both decided to keep it that way.
-
During the first season, Austin time and time again makes mistakes that in other shows would cause episodes of drama and not get resolved till the end of the season. But Austin's respect for Ally and her feelings makes him think over his actions, realize that he did wrong, and handle the issue in a sweet and mature manner.
For Example, when Austin was continuously late and disrespectful of Ally's time, he got Ally a signed guitar by Bruno Mars (a favorite artist of Ally's) and gave her a planner to plan all the time she needed him since being her partner meant there was no more "Austin Time" but "Austin and Ally Time."
Another example is when the jealous blogger was ruining Austin's career because of Ally, yet he never blamed her. Even when threatened with never-ending blackmail he still chose Ally over his career. (Which he does all throughout the show which I will mention in other sections)
A Third Example, is Austin giving up his chance with the club owner at Trish's party to slow dance with Ally after getting rejected by Dallas (Ally's Crush in S1).
-
In S1 Ally had broken the personal boundaries and walls she had set up with everyone else for Austin and his career.
Like doing activities with Austin that she had never done with Trish. (The HorrerFest and doing a duo costume with Austin which led her to find out about Trish liking the Zaliens Franchise. Meaning she never went with Trish to any of these events before.)
Running onto a stage just to apologize to Austin even though she has extreme stage fright.
Also performing with him when Taylor Swift was injured.
Revealing how she had gotten stage fright in the first place in order to help him overcome his fears.
-
Season 1 was just the writer's way of selling their friendship to their audience. They weren't instantly friends, they had plenty of episodes of petty arguments and learning about each other to become as close as they were at the end of S1. It was realistic and fun to actually see them go from strangers to really close friends who entrusted secrets to each other. It was also refreshing to have Austin and Ally be opposites but have music be the thing that connects them. (Which I will give its own section at the end) Whether it be their parents' disbelief in their careers or just having someone to talk to who was at their professional musical level and truly understood music. Season One may not be the best season out of the four but it was extremely necessary for the realistic growth of auslly.
-
SEASON TWO: FRIENDS OR FEELINGS?
Season 2 is when things start to get interesting. Feelings were revealed, crushes were had, couples got together, people were jelly, and couples broke up. You could immediately see these two were WAY closer and their friendship has blossomed.
Austin realized his feelings after Ally but definitely had a harder time dealing with them than Ally. He gets with Kira Starr (daughter of the Owner of Starr Records - Jimmy Starr) after her bad breath is handled. (Kira Starr you deserved so much better as a character. I could write an analysis of her as well! Comment, if I should!) But when Ally starts to hang around an old camp buddy, Austin gets extremely jealous and Dez helps him realize his feelings for Ally. So after a lot of back and forth between Ally & Kira, Austin picks Kira....then kisses Ally...then dates Kira anyway. But after more back and forth, he breaks up with Kira and serenades Ally, resulting in them FINALLY getting together.
-
Ally realized her feelings before Austin while helping him go on the perfect date with Kira. Ally immediately pushes her feelings down and does the mature thing like always. She decides to focus on her career after Austin continues to unintentionally play with her feelings. Then finally gives in when Austin breaks up with Kira and sings a song she wrote about him to her since he feels the same way.
-
Though their relationship lasted one episode, I wasn't too mad. Once again, the writers are taking a more realistic approach and aren't making Auslly immediately a perfect couple with no faults. They are friends first and it showed this season more than last.
Austin was willing to give up his first magazine cover for Ally and Ally was willing to front flip off a building so that he wouldn't have to give it up.
Austin snuck out of his house to help Ally since he knew she was counting on him.
Austin tries to write his own songs since he is taking up the time Ally needs for her own career. (and his first successful song was about her.)
Austin gifts Ally priceless glass slippers which resulted in him carrying her for days since she couldn't walk in them. In the same episode, Ally helps Austin reinvent his childhood role model of a rock star's career.
Though they had a pretty big fight and realized that they had doubts about each other, they quickly made up and didn't let those past feelings control how they feel about each other now.
At the end of the season, they both agree it's better to be happy that both of their careers are taking off even if it's tearing them apart. This already shows growth from S1 Auslly who had the chance to be separated from each other (Ally going to NY for music school and Austin signing with another Manager and leaving team Austin) but chose each other over their careers.
Though they obviously have feelings for each other and both know that, they realize that if they truly loved and cared for each other...they needed to let each other go.
-
SEASON THREE: SEASON TWO BUT MORE COMPLICATED AND MORE ANNOYING.
Season 3 is a whirlwind of emotions. The first half of S3 is focused on Ally on the Austin Moon Tour and them in school WAY more often. (which makes no sense btw. A&A are both EXTREMELY popular teen idols yet they aren't bombarded every hall they turn down? Like how are paparazzi not at Sonic Boom or the beach they famously hang out at? If anything they should both be homeschooled or do online schooling. PLUS Ally was working at Sonic Boom, working on songs for her and Austin, doing school, attending all her clubs, doing all her other duties as an artist, was in committed relationships, AND finding time to hang out with her friends?! Give that girl an award..)
The second half is the part I didn't like. They did the same thing they did in S2 but with different love interests. Ally with Garett and Austin with Piper. Both relationships last like 2 maybe 3 episodes then get broken up since Auslly can't think of anyone else but each other lol.
They get together once again at prom and stay together till the end of the season. (They technically break up in the last episode but Austin professes his love in front of the whole world on live television and throws away his entire career for her so I think that means they are together lol)
Now Austin and Ally are officially a couple and the season ends with Austin joining Ally on her tour parallel to Ally joining Austin on his tour at the beginning of the season.
-
SEASON FOUR: MATURE SEMI ADULT AUSLLY
Season 4 is all fluff with very last-minute angst. Austin and Ally are finally together for good and it's a breath of fresh air. They help each other deal with their problems like Austin struggling about not being able to live out his passions and dreams. And Ally freaking out about her future and thinking she's not ready. Plus the constant problem of the two of them struggling to be a couple while being artists and now owning a factory together.
The overarching theme of Auslly blurring the lines between them as a couple and them as business partners and two extremely big names in the music industry is so intriguing to me. It was a slow buildup but S4 showed this buildup in its full intensity. Austin was so conflicted about being upset and saddened for himself but still extremely happy and supportive of his girlfriend that he was having nightmares of Ally living his dreams and leaving him behind. Also insecure about Ally going to Harvard and leaving him for a smarter man.
But Ally constantly reminds him that she loves him for him and only him which calms him every time.
But as always, good things always come to an end...Austin & Ally break up.
AND DON'T TALK FOR 4 YEARS!
Austin got back his career and Ally decided to go to college while still being a musician so they didn't have any time for each other. That distance took a toil and ended in them leaving each other's sides for a while. But with a little conniving from Trish and Dez, they were brought back together and realized that they never stopped loving each other. But the two of them still question how to be a couple when they're constantly competing against each other and being dragged away from each other. But then Austin had the bright idea of just becoming a singing duo instead of going head to head as competing artists for the rest of their lives.
That ends up being the right move and they live happily ever after with their two kiddos and music factory/museum.
-
This was my stupid long dynamic analysis but I'm not done.
I also want to more intently explain why Austin and Ally are so close.
...and the answer is music.
I know what you are thinking, no duh...that's like the whole show premise but I'm digging into it deeper.
Remember in my earlier post I mentioned Auslly writing their songs about each other like no one else is there for them like each other?
I believe if A&A were on a more mature network, we would see the straight pressure and anxiety these two felt while being in the industry so young. Like, think about it...Austin and Ally were 14-15 when Austin went viral and Ally became his songwriter. Then Ally was around 15-16 when her personal career went off. They were absolute BABIES! With little to no support from their families, friends who could never fully grasp the amount of pressure they were under, and the entertainment industry watching their every move. Trish and Dez both play parts that are behind the scene (Manager and Director) and allow them to still keep their youths to themself instead of the youth being taken away from them like Auslly.
Austin was on a full-blown multi-city and state tour at 16!?
Ally was doing the same at 16-17...
in NYC performing Times Square BY THEMSELVES
Like literal children.
look at some of the lyrics these kids wrote about each other...
Parachute - Ally - Her First Album
"I remember life before
Faraway dreams and locking doors
Then you came, then you came
Afraid to fall, to be free
Always my own worst enemy
Isn't what, what you see
I took time to realize
That I couldn't do it by myself, myself
There's no gravity
when you're next to me
You will always break my
fall, like a parachute
When you're holding me so
weightless I can barely breathe
You will always break my fall, my fall
Like a parachute
You're my parachute"
LIKE? IM SORRY?
(Pls listen to the whole song and read all the lyrics cause it's really deep and emotional.)
here is Austin talking about Ally...
Austin - Stuck On You - Austin gets over stage fright by only looking at Ally
"So, I'm singing all the words I'm scared to say, yeah So, forgive me if I'm doing this all wrong I'm trying my best in this song To tell you, what can I do? I'm stuck on you I'm hoping, you feel what I do 'Cause I told Mom about you I told her, what can I do? I'm stuck on you
And like the nightsticks to the moon Girl, I'm stuck on you"
(Austin's isn't as deep and sad as Ally's but that is the character difference.)
But either way, the song is extremely sweet and endearing.
And this is only 2 songs out of 4 seasons worth of dedicated songs to each other. There was never a single song dedicated to their families only a couple for their friends but never as deep and descriptive as this. I think I can safely say that Austin and Ally were each other's safe places and utter sanctuary. It makes sense why their hugs were so long and their simple glances turned to deep gazes. They were each other's home...a place of peace.
Austin and Ally grew up with parents who gave up on their dreams, settled, and expected them to do the same. To work in the family business and forget their dreams since they had a one-in-a-billion chance of making it. No one fully understood how hard they worked and how much it hurt to have no one on their side.
No one but each other.
Trish never had the work effort that Ally had or the ability to not like having attention on her like Ally hated.
Dez never cared about being the one on camera like Austin or cared about what the public thought about him like Austin constantly did.
Even their best friends could never fully grasp their dilemma.
No one understands Austin like Ally.
And no one understands Ally like Austin.
It makes sense...they were two in a million.
-
OK, THAT WAS SO LONG I AM SO SORRY.
But I love sharing my brain thoughts with you all so I'd gladly do more. Just give me recs in the comments even if they aren't A&A related.
This is the second yap session of this new series so you can always find this by the hashtag I put on each one...
#Yappin' with Shy
maybe next time I talk about the secret romance between Austin and Dez/Ally and Kira, or how Trish can be an aro-ace, or how Ally's dad's money problems root to something deeper than just being cheap.
But that’s a yapper-sation for another time - Shy

Thoughts on Caryl/MMB/TWDCaryl
First things first, I'm super new to the fandom stuff involving anything The Walking Dead... but I've been through this before.
So--- I began The Walking Dead in 2018, which is around when Season 8 was about to premiere I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). Nevermind the fact I watched the premiere episode all the way back in 2010 and for some reason, never watched again, lol. All I remember is binge watching the first 7 seasons and waiting for the new season to air. But something came up, and I somehow lost track of the new episodes. Fast forward 6ish years and I decided to rewatch from the beginning ...on election night .... to distract from the chaos. I ended up watching the entire series (plus two seasons of #TWDCaryl) in 3 weeks.
Similar to many other fans, I loved the whole cast, but something drew me to Carol and Daryl the most. I remember loving them the first time, but I never really "delved" into it. I liked the idea of them, but I wasn't super... shippy if that makes sense. But---and this is important--- I was already fully immersed in a long-term ship already in EO. Yeah, that EO. The 25 year long slow burn ship from Law and Order SVU. I guess you can say I didn't have the brain function to obsess over two different ships... at least not back 6ish years ago, which is still about 2 years before news broke Chris Meloni/Elliot was coming back to the franchise after 10 YEARS away. SO--- if you're familiar at all with that and/or EO and the drama with the ship itself, the other ships within the show, and the fans --then we're on the same page.
Which brings me back to Caryl/TWD spinoff. I can't say I'm super surprised at the drama surrounding the new spinoff ---which I was insanely excited about years ago when it was first announced even though I hadn't watched the show in a couple of years. Plus, I was a Caryl fan from the beginning too. But then the news broke that Melissa wasn't going to be on the spinoff after all and I remember thinking --- I'm kind of glad I didn't get as invested in them as I have EO (which is ridiculously invested ---17 years worth of fanfic, fanart, twitter, tumblr friends, etc). But after rewatching the series in its entirety this past November-- I've lost that battle. While I didn't hardcore ship Caryl the first time around (even though I really liked the idea) ---I'm down bad now. Especially after watching seasons 9/10/11 and now the spinoff. My twitter bookmarks, tumblr queue and tags are a Caryl mess right now and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I absolutely adore Melissa and Norman, and their friendship mirrors Chris and Mariska's on SVU's as well (Elliot and Olivia) in a lot of ways -- but that's for another time. (Also-- if you haven't watched Norman's ep of SVU -- highly recommend -- it's in Season 7). I truly think the friendships behind these characters truly drive the effectiveness of duos and ships. If the actors don't get along and/or truly love each other in real life-- it's just not the same. The love truly bleeds onto the screen when it's organic. It really makes everything "earned' like Mariska and Norman have both said about the relationships.
So--- it's disheartening to see that even though Melissa is back in the TWD world after all, and appeared at the end of S1 of the spinoff and all of Season 2, that she's -- from what I've seen tweeted/posted on tumblr --- not getting the respect she deserves, or so it seems. Being a part of a duo comes with all kinds of peaks and valleys. So, one half not getting what they deserve is something I hope sincerely isn't the case. She is literally my favorite female character on this show. I truly think MMB, is a gifted actress who is light years ahead in talent. And again, I love pretty much every character.
With MMB being a woman of a certain age leading a long running show--- I can't help go back to SVU with Mariska. Being leading women on high profile tv shows in your late 50's, early 60's is something to celebrate and be super careful with to be quite frank. MH has been lead/Co-lead on her show for 26 seasons now and an executive producer. If she's getting the respect over at nbc, then Melissa certainly should be getting the same over at amc. (Don't get me wrong, there is still BS behind the scenes on SVU too, but in different ways). Especially if she's also now an EP on TWD. ESPECIALLY by being a part of this for 15 years which is nothing to sneer at. Carol has got to be amongst the longest running female characters on television right now.
I certainly don't know much about what is going on behind the scenes in this case, and I don't really want to knowing what I've known and heard with SVU over the years. Sometimes it's better to NOT know. That's totally ignoring what the showrunner is saying in interviews and what not. I've definitely heard about him. Ugh. With that being said, hopefully things are not what they seem and that there's a lot to be excited and surprised about when Season 3 comes out I'm assuming later this year. There's a thin line between toxic positivity and just having been around the block a few times with previous shows and trying to wait it out. This means taking into consideration what is being filmed elsewhere and indoors.
I'm rooting for Caryl (big time) and for good writing for them. In regards to MMB not being seen on set much, hopefully it's purely her decision for it being that way, or because they're doing what SVU/OC have been doing and trying to keep storylines under wraps so they aren't spoiled --since the whole S2 got released prematurely for the Caryl Spinoff. Maybe it's wishful thinking. Maybe it's seen through rose-colored lenses because I'm not used to this type of fandom discourse like I am with SVU.
It's 2025, and I'm just rooting for my ships to finally receive the writing/canon they deserve. I must be a glutton for punishment because why in the frick do I ship these two??? LOL.
Anyways, I just wanted to get this off my chest because I hate seeing the downside to something I love so much and I'm sure that's true for everyone who comes across this.
I'll certainly be over on twitter expressing my love for Melissa/Carol and Caryl. (I do love Norman as well -- but wanted to focus this on what's important and that's giving Melissa her flowers.) Give that woman an EMMY. Anyways.
Thanks for reading my thoughts even as discombobulated as they may be. Caryl is endgame! BOOM.
#eo is also endgame because I'm never gonna learn my lesson#caryl#twdcaryl#carol x daryl#svu#bensler#melissa mcbride#carol peletier#twd caryl

Tw: negative criticism (I need to get this off my chest)
I'm rewatching the whole Toy Story franchise again and today I watched the fourth movie. I remember I cried in the cinema and that it had a bad ending (woody left his toy family behind) but oh boy I don't remember it being that bad
I remember I cried and spent around 1 or 2 hours until I got home (the cinema is 1 hour away from my house and me and my family even went out for dinner) upset and sad because of the ending, but I don't remember it being that bad
Gosh Bo Peep was so different from the og movies. Ok I get that she didn't had much personality back then, but they didn't had to make her so hard to deal with, oh my god. She is mean to Woody and acts like he's stupid almost all the time, and not her, neither all the other characters, thought about his pov not even for a split second??! And in the end they convinced him to leave behind everything he had ever fought for?! And his family?!?! To stay with her???!? Her???1?!?!?1?! I can't stand her character! And I tried to!
All the Toy Story movies talk about how being with a child is the toys purpose, and the fourth movie decided to go against that. You can argue about how emotional attachment is dangerous and etc but we're talking about toys. Toys in this universe WANT to stay with owners/children, they want to belong to a kid, and that mf Bo Peep convinced Woody to leave that behind wtf. Leaving your whole family behind to stay with someone who is MEAN TO YOU and that you haven't seen for 10+ years is so damn wrong. Even if he left the other toys just for the lifestyle of "being free" this goes against everything this franchise ever spoke about!!! Woody didn't needed a new character arc, his character arc was made in the first movie! Jessie did! She's still afraid of boxes, and her PTSD is so bad that I think that could be better explored as a subplot in a movie.
I hate that the other characters didn't even appeared in the movie to give space to new, annoying characters (I'm talking about Gabby and Bo Peep, even though she's not new, she is extremely different and mean now). I remember Forky being annoying but actually he's kinda nice, I mean, of course Disney tried to make him a new "Olaf" to make the movie more popular and that bothers me, but after the scenes with Woody and Forky I learned to like how he was written.
And Gabby, oh god. I hate her too. It's not other's fault that you didn't lived the life you wanted to. You don't need to take from others what you couldn't have, you need to accept that you have flaws and learn to understand that your value is not based on stuff like this. In her case, not based in her voice box, it's based on how much a child would love her/how much she could help a child to develop and grow up. That's the toys role in that franchise. Damn how I hated everything she did in the movie and hated even more the fact that she also convinced Woody to give away his voice box. Woody's signature quote is "there's a snake in my boot". I made a joke while watching the movie saying that "woody would have a heart attack if he didn't annouced he had a snake in his boot at least once" and despite that being funny I mean it, you can't just write a character, make people get attached to stuff that's part of him and take that stuff from him to say that he "matured". No wtf his voice box is his. Woody was literally afraid of it being taken from him at the start of the movie. Fuck Gabby Gabby, you were made 80 years ago and you didn't accepted the fact that you unfortunately came with your voice box broken. Ok, unfortunate! But you shouldn't try to blackmail/force/kidnap people to make them give THEIRS TO YOU! AND WOODY WAS CONVINCED TO DO IT AT THE END! AAATRRRRGGHHRHAHAHAGSGHZBBBDN
YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE!
Honestly I hope the 5th movie will fix everything, I'm praying for it. Make the toys somehow go back to Bonnie, make Bo Peep act more friendlier towards everyone cuz she's simply unbearable and get Woody a new voice box. And never show Gabby again, thanks. Please.

BARK BARK
noting beforehand just a thing of pls take care of yourself, drink water, go outside, touch grass,, get ur vitamins d and stuff, get oxygen from them trees, inhale the tree(/lh /j)
anyways
If HABIT was a protagonist in any of the games or fandoms you liked, how do you think he'd operate? I mean, he'd definitely make different choices than the actual protags- probably in an alternate route from canon how he 'becomes the protagonist' is through using them as a vessel- sorry im yapping, but this whole thing is making me wonder how he'd deal with someone like Dante Sparda(devil may cry for context- also a game that was meant to be I think RE4, but it was changed and we got demon man :D) yap yap yap im done yapping mb
bark bark anon
HELLO BARK BARK ANON AND OTHERS!! i have finally returned and am ready to yap about my favorite guy again :D also sorry for yet ANOTHER random disappearance.. right when i was about to come back and start posting again i got super sick for a while 😭 im better now though!
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD ASK ACTUALLY. ive thought about this before, not necessarily with devil may cry, but with other things im into! SOOO with that said, i am going to use this ask as an opportunity to discuss something that was actually a trend on the EverymanHYBRID side of tiktok a few years back. HABIT as Ghostface from the Scream franchise ‼️ does anyone else remember those edits? there used to be so many of those.
(sidenote: this post is focused on Scream 1996 only, none of the others. also i know this ask says PROTAGONIST, but i highly doubt HABIT would inhabit someone like Sidney Prescott 💀 SOOO you get antagonist instead! SORRY I GENUINELY COULDNT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO REPLY TO THIS ASK WITH 💔)
i absolutely adore Scream 1-3, i used to be fixated on the franchise a few years back. i remember rewatching Scream 1 with @vinbitism a couple months ago and it made us think about a crossover. Ethan and i had a whole EverymanHYBRID x Scream au going on for a little while but we didnt do much with it.
the thing is, its hard to figure out which character from Scream HABIT would use as a vessel. most people probably automatically connect him to Billy Loomis, which is understandable and a cool concept, but when discussing this with my friend @rosswired we agreed on someone different. it got brought up how based on behavior and stature, Stu Macher might be a better fit for HABIT. if we were to compare his favorite vessel Evan to Stu and Billy, Evan would have more similarities to Stu than he would have to Billy. Both of them run more on impulse and can act “animalistic” at times. they are seen as careless, and (in my opinion) dont give off the vibes of someone who could be dangerous, which helps HABIT disguise himself amongst others even better.
Stu also has personality traits similar to ones HABIT has, meaning it would be easier for him to adapt and play the role of Stu. this doesnt mean he would necessarily ENJOY using Stu as a vessel though. im sure he would have fun with it, but i dont see him favoring Stu over past vessels. ESPECIALLY Evan.
switching the topic to the Ghostface aspect of everything, i think HABIT would have fun playing that role too, but the thing with HABIT is he likes his name to be known. i do not think he would enjoy being viewed as “Ghostface” for long. while Billy and Stu didnt reveal themselves right away and even used a voice changer to disguise their voices, i cant see HABIT really liking that game. he wants people to be aware of his presence, but he does like to hide behind the persona of his vessel to lure people to him. after that though, he makes sure his victim knows its him doing everything. not his vessel. him and only him.
now a few last things i want to mention before ending this post are:
- i think HABIT would find the main weapon choice, a Buck 120 hunting knife, boring. He would switch it out for something more his style like a machete of some sort. this isnt me saying he wouldnt enjoy using the Buck 120, i just feel like he would prefer something else. something bigger and more threatening.
- HABIT prefers to work alone when it comes to killing, (besides having someone hold a camera for him) so due to that i dont see him having a Billy and Stu type of relationship with anybody.
- his kills would be more brutal and he would take more time with them, unless the victims were people he didnt really view as important.
ANYWAYS im not sure how i feel about this post. i fear it kinda sucks. other posts hopefully coming soon though ‼️ i miss being the HABIT account 😞 i have REALLY got to lock back in.
also thanks for the idea bark bark anon, i inhaled an entire tree. NO BUT GENUINELY THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS <33

Happy 5/5!!!!
Unfortunately I don't have much to offer to celebrate, as I just so happened to have come down with an awful migraine yesterday, so I couldn't do anything to prepare in advance. But I still wanted to write a post about James, at the very least :) (Everything is under a cut so that it doesn't flood the tags, I have lots to say about him!!)
---
That being said, I don't really know where to start!! I suppose I can start with how Thomas The Tank Engine was my first special interest, so we met when I was very, very young. I was a speech-delayed Autistic kid, so I couldn't speak at the time, but there was something about TTTE that spoke to me in ways that I couldn't articulate at the time. It was my everything back then, and I feel surprised that this was something that would eventually become victim to my dissociative amnesia, as my Thomas phase was wiped from my memory completely. I don't even remember my favourite characters or episodes from those times.
In an effort to try and remember those childhood memories again while going through trauma-focused therapy, I revisited the series over 20 years ago. While it took a little bit of time to find the right seasons, I fell in love with the franchise all over again when I did. Unfortunately, no childhood memories were revived from doing this, but I at least remembered exactly why I was so obsessed with the series back then!
---
Truth be told, on my first rewatch, James wasn't actually a character I thought about that much! It wasn't until my second or third rewatch of the classic series that I really began to fall in love with him, both figuratively and literally.
He was such a captivating character, someone who was both self-important and overly confident, while also having a great sense of insecurity in him when he feels inferior to the other engines. He feels he has to one-up everyone in some way, which can lead him to be rude and fussy towards the other engines. I feel that his biggest fear is being worthless, which is the driving force behind his entitled and narcissistic behaviour, as he desires to be the most valuable engine on all of Sodor. Of course, his self-consciousness often gets the best of him, and he will do what the other bigger engines expect of him as a means of fulfilling his desires of being on the same level as them. Whatever James does, he needs to make sure it's done in the most extraordinary way, as he feels it's obligatory for him to reach the top of the world.
I believe that James doesn't see what makes him truly special- he's a mixed traffic engine who's easily the most versatile worker on the North Western Railway, and is capable of pulling both goods and coaches. While he may be one in a million, with there having been 106 L&YR Class 28's built in the entire world, he's special in the fact that he made his way onto Sodor, where he would be repaired and cherished for the rest of his life.
Deep down, however, behind that vain and narcissistic facade, is an engine who truly cares about his own and will help anyone who's in need. Although he hates the dirty work, he knows that it's still an important part of keeping the railway running, and will work hard to make sure that he remains responsible, reliable, and useful. He may be a jokester as well, but he's also more than capable of realizing when a bit goes too far and ends up with himself or others getting hurt.
---
James means so, so much to me, and is easily my favourite character of all time. Not only is his character such an interesting one to think about and analyze, but he's also just plain fun and silly, and I love a man who's good at making me laugh! He's charming, attractive, and energetic, and I think our personalities mesh so well with each other given we're almost complete opposites (me being an XSFJ 6w7, and him being ESTP 3w4!) I think he's also so adorable, and seeing that characteristic smile of his brightens my day!
James really is one of those characters where I wish I could tell him how loved and valued he is just by being himself, sort of in an "I could fix him" kind of way, but also I wouldn't really want him to be 'fixed' either, because I think he's perfect the way he is! It's no wonder why he's found his way into my heart, and I'm sure that since it's been a year since I first fell in love with him, he'll remain there for a long, long time.
Thank you for being yourself, James. Thank you for making me smile and laugh, even on days where it feels like there's nothing to smile about. Thank you for being your charming, splendid self, and I hope I can be devoted to you for many more years to come.
I love you James. You're the best red engine out there, and I can't wait to spend even more years with you. ♥️🚂👑

Hi, I started planning my own KND fic, and started with figuring out the ages and birthdates, and I have to ask. 1. How was it for you the process of coming up with a chronology of a show that doesn't really have a set and consistent timeline? 2. In what year does your fic takes place?
My process and answer is long so have it at under the cut
The first part of my process was deciding if I wanted a set timeline or just to go with what worked for me from fic to fic. Over the years (and after watching the series hundreds of times and taking novels worth of notes and screenshots), I’ve settled on a set timeline that works for me and what I like to do.
(Fun fact: I have 3 different timelines! 1 is the main one I use, and the other two are bit more loose depending on the AU I wrote. In one, the GKND doesn’t exist.)
First, I would decide how religiously you want to try and make sense of the timeline the show tries to give us. There aren’t many, but there are a few events that have specific years that can be pinned down. For example, one is the Great Junior High Rebellion of ‘99 where the recommissioning module was allegedly “damaged beyond repair” (maybe they didn’t try turning it off and back on again?). The next one is 1969 where the KND faked the moon landing so adults wouldn’t discover the Moonbase. They’re small throwaway mentions, but important if you need some dates to anchor to.
Also consider that (probably almost) everything in season 6 that’s not a flashback happens AFTER Op. ZERO due to the shots of the Moonbase being the rebuilt Moonbase Zero.
Now, saying all that, my next piece of advice may be weird, but honestly, I think it’s important: don’t stress too much about it! Details are essential, but getting hung up on them can be a headache and stop the process. As you mentioned, the show doesn’t have a consistent timeline, so trying to make sense of everything will run you up a wall.
Just breathe and pick any year or era you want that makes sense or resonates with you! Wanna set it in 2018 or even in 2024? Go for it!
But why aren't kids/teens seen using smartphones? Maybe there’s super duper strict regulation that keeps anyone under 13 (perhaps even 18 because Father apparently controls the Teen Ninjas) from not having smartphones, and the KND uses 2x4 tech as a way to get around it. There’s already legislation in the works in the US that does this already to ban kids from using social media.
How come sector V are all in the same grade yet are different ages? Again, maybe in this world, there’s some super weird law the adult villains lobbied for that keeps kids in certain grades for extended times. There was literally an episode that ended with a 4th Grade President going to City Hall and coming out and saying, “by the way, school day ends at 8:25pm now. Sucks to suck, also Father is the best.”
Let the show's lack of a consistent timeline be an unexpected strength! Besides one or two cultural nods as the show evolves, there's not too much to date it. For example, they make up corporations and franchises to parody real ones and never give the name of a sitting world leader.
Also, it’s a cartoon, and their world is not bound to the same laws as ours. It’s not real life! Be silly and stretch things if you need to! If trying to take the show and make it more realistic is your goal, then, of course, do that as well! Just for me personally, I try not to get bogged down with “this event or timeline doesn’t exactly match up or happen how it would in real life” because I’m not writing real life: I’m writing Kids Next Door fighting candy monsters or the living avatars of puberty.
I’m getting off-topic. Anyway, the last piece of help I offer is just (if you can) rewatching the show and paying attention to context clues in the background! In season 5, two shots of a gravestone end with 2005. So, with that in mind, we can infer a few things:
1. From wherever you put that episode in timeline, it at least happens during or after the year 2005.
2. The same gravestone appears again in IT, so everything that has happened up to Rachel deciding to call a game of tag, again, happens either during or after the year 2005.
Take that as you will!
For the next part of your question! If you’re talking about Cold Reception SPOILER AHEAD BECAUSE IT WILL NEVER BE DIRECTLY STATED IN THE FIC! ....
...
...
...
you really wanna know?
...
...
...
...
The year Cold Reception takes place is 2011.
Hope this helps! If not, let me know and maybe I can give more specifics! Good luck on your fic! Writing is fun.
#knd#my writing#my process#timeline creation#worldbuilding#also that bit about “not real life” is just about fantastical elements and aesthetics#asks#always happy to help if i can

Rewatching Avatar 2 and its fucking me up so badly how Jake literally said he had no plan to protect the Omaticaya hiding in the mountains after knowing Spider was captured by Quaritch and the Recoms, and was basically gonna give up to "save" JUST her and the kids....
Like.... how infuriating lol.
Neytiri and her children severed from her people AND her homeland all cuz Jake wouldnt sacrifice JUST himself to protect EVERYONE, including Neytiri and the kids, AND to honor Neytiri's own duty to protect her people and their land as obliged by her faith, her will, her ancestors, her role in the clan, and the wish of her dying father (who's death Jake is partially responsible for)....
The movie is set up to make us feel like what Jake did to protect his family was noble but it was just so selfish to me??? Nothing abt Jake's decision and need to leave the clan to divert the RDA/Recom's attempt to find him in the mountains needed to glue Neyriti, Neteyam, Tuk, Lo'ak, and Kiri to it. Its giving "my wife and kids are my most important assets"; terrible implications given that Neytiri is native-coded, and Jake, despite the permanent avatar body, is still responsible for the gross displacement and death of her clan barely 1 generation removed from the events of the genocide. Jake had a lot to atone for which he did somewhat in A1 by defecting and fighting alongside the Na'vi in the great war. But that atonement was homage and sacrifice to all the Omaticaya people, and by extension, all Na'vi, since he became Toruk Makto and had harbored a duty to protect collective interests of relating clans.
Like, just "wanting to protect your family" would have included everyone in the clan, as the fortress of family is found collectively among the people, who were willing to die fighting for their land and people together. As a warrior, as a legend, as a leader, and even as a father, I'd expect Jake to make the sacrifice of leaving the clan by himself an to honor the passiom of the people to fight until the end for their liberation in war. It would have been rlly hurtful for him to leave and miss out on continuing to lead the clan and raise his family, but responsible and fair, bc he knew the RDA, who returned particularly more powerful and vengeful, mainly wanted his head as the "insurgency leader" and RDA defector, and the Omaticaya were well equipped at that point to defend themselves under Tarsem's and Mo'at's leadership and prior training on RDA tactical warfare (plus Norm, Max, and other humans were still left there to help).
But throughout the movie Jake was portrayed as a force of sensibility among the Na'vi (Neytiri, and among the Metkayina) when they expressed revolutionary suicide and vengence for their fallen, and displacement. And he was seen as justified in risking another clan's stability and safety to let him not only hide from the RDA, but to call so many shots while seeking asylum, including the call to land a metalic helicopter on their land that somehow nobody remembered could be tracked. It seemed that only Jake got to determine if group-sacrifice was noble, necessary, and family-oriented if it directly preserved himself and his interests, particularly the preservation of his role in a nuclear family.
To me, A2 was skid deep on its attempt to portray collectivity, family, and sacrifice. And its was so unpleasant seeing again how Neyriti was practically silent and silenced, only to echo what Jake was thinking when she was the one most affected by the emotional turmoil of the severence from her home, the rest of her family (including the forest), her cultural duties, and her healing.
Truly, I can barely deal w this franchise at this point 😂💀.
#edit. LMFAO it also shows how little they could trust spider not to spill things. that or that he'd cave eventually if tortured#i dont remember the dialogue and plot being this bad .... im only here for fromtiers and na'vi at this point lol#and the worldbuilding aspect of the lore of the franchise but#if fromtiers is shit too then its na'vi only. once i get bored w that. im retiring and archiving this blog lol#oel.mine#avatar 2#avatar the way of water#jake sully#neytiri

So I recently rewatched Scooby Doo Stage Fright and I have some thoughts.
Now, I really enjoy this movie and consider it one of my absolute favourites! The first phantom? Amazing and weird but in a way that fits. All the contestants? Keeps everyone guessing. The “no dogs” rule that makes it a struggle for Scooby to get into the opera house? Hilarious. (Especially the old man bit)
But I’m not a really big fan of iterations of the franchise where Daphne is obsessed with Fred to the point that it’s her only character trait. And you might say that her love of Fred wasn’t her biggest motivator in the movie, but throughout the movie she makes it clear she only wants to win so that she can work up the courage to tell Fred how she feels.
But she had one line really stood out to me, that didn’t have to do with her crush on Fred:
“Why do monsters keep showing up wherever we go? Is it something about us?”
There is a lot going on in this line.
First there’s the sentence itself- what it points out. It is an in-universe acknowledgement that monsters go wherever they do. A couple series have done this, even Shaggy did it in the first part of the movie, saying “When do we go to a place that’s not haunted?” But what makes this different is that it isn’t trying to be meta and it isn’t sarcastic. It’s scared, and vulnerable. This sounds like a teenager who is trapped in this strange cycle with no real end in sight. Who’s not sure if she’s the problem.
In many different iterations of the gang what stands out is that they’re the outsiders. The weirdos. Daphne’s family history especially in some iterations makes it clear that she was pressured to conform to something that her parents wanted, something that society wanted. This seems like a line from someone who thinks that there is something wrong with them. Who hasn’t reached Be Cool Daphne’s comfort level with her weirdness.
So I think that the movie would be better if instead of Daphne having an obsession over Fred, she is worrying over why ghosts keep popping up wherever they go. And there’s a couple points in this movie where this would fit well.
First: All the other contestants. Are considered weird. What if Velma said that “A lemon-scented ghost would fit right in with this crowd” and Daphne lowers her head and says “Yeah” softly. Because she is part of this crowd. Talent Star seemed to have attracted a whole bunch of weird people, whose to say that this isn’t bringing up Daphne’s feelings of being different all over again? Like if you won a contest and all the other people who won were batshit crazy wouldn’t you doubt yourself? Just a little bit? Especially if you were a young girl who’s always been told she’s batshit crazy?
Then when Daphne wakes up at night crying? What if she wakes up crying because everything feels wrong? Because she feels wrong? Teenagehood is a time with lots of change and lots of transitions and lots of doubts. So she wakes up crying because she has a lot of existential questions about her life.
And then the whole 5 different phantoms thing is obviously not helping. Just when Daphne thinks they’re done and can move on with normal teenager activities another phantom shows up to ruin everything all over again. This further reinforces the cycle that has been plaguing Daphne for who-knows how long at this point.
But then I think that this movie also presents the perfect opportunity for Daphne to realize that being weird isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Take Steve (the first phantom) for example. There is no way to deny that this guy is weird. He grew up in a sewer, has no idea how mirrors work, he is generally strange. But he’s also selfless. He’s ashamed of the hurt he caused in the past (but even then the worst he did was destroy the disco ball - no one actually got physically hurt), he saves Fred by attacking another one of the phantoms, when Brick gets arrested and no one knows what to do he steps up and takes charge.
I would like to see a convo between the two of them - maybe Steve notices that Daphne’s feeling down about everything and approaches her, asking what’s wrong. Maybe all this pressure that’s been building up throughout the movie finally breaks and she confesses everything that’s been on her mind. And Steve listens. And he understands what it’s like to be weird, and maybe we could get a bit of backstory on him (why there is a random guy living in the sewer will forever haunt my every waking moment) and it could all boil down to yeah, I was weird like you but unlike you I was alone. Because maybe that’s what it takes for Daphne to stop being so caught up in her own weirdness but see every else’s as well. We have Fred who sleeps with a net, Shaggy who can eat a giant pizza like its nothing, Velma who is interested in stuff that isn’t very mainstream like the soap diamond, Scooby who talks.
And this doesn’t change the fact that they are her best friends, her family. That throughout the movie they have been there for her and supported her and Fred on this wild ride. And same goes for every mystery. And the fact that they’re weird? Makes them stronger in the face of these mysteries. Fred’s net saves Shaggy and Scooby’s lives (that dude was running around with a butcher’s knife - he should def be locked up for attempted murder). Velma’s love of the niche comes in handy when stopping Dewey. Scooby and Shaggy sneaking into the opera house reveals that Dewey is the 4th phantom.
So maybe this convo really helps Daphne gain confidence to go on stage and sing her heart out. Then they have the whole chase with Dewey and they give up the contest for Emma and all that. And then, the final nail in the coffin that makes Daphne come into her own weirdness. Brick.
Brick, who is by far the most “normal” person around. Sure, he says “Fantastic” a lot, but that’s not a guy who pulls an egg out instead of a card or a goth band that was a country act up until a few weeks ago, with 3/4 of them being honestly surly and the the other one being so cheerful. Earlier in the film Daphne says that she really admires Brick, and in this version maybe that could mean that maybe in this whirlwind of weirdness she admires how he’s so… normal. But then at the end of the film comes his confession - that he’s surrounded by all these talented people makes him feel suffocated. He feels pathetic. And Daphne then realizes that yeah - all the other contestants were weird, all her friends are weird, but that’s what made them talented. Thats what makes them so amazing.
In the end, the movie ends with Daphne coming to terms with her weirdness - and maybe starting Be Cool Daphne’s list of everything she wants to do. In the end she comes to terms with the fact that monsters tend to follow them around, but as long as she’s got her weird friends she’s gonna be okay.

OKAY. THAT ASK MADE ME CURIOUS SO IM HERE AGAIN. do any of the kids like horror. like in general. the genre. if so What kinds of horror. formats, like horror novels, horror movies, horror manga, etc., but also subgenres, like psychological horror, splatter horror, slashers..... tl;dr which kid should i take 2 see saw in theaters and which kid would cry scream and throw up u know - annie
hatano: not a fan of horror :/ dont take her to watch saw.
higa: not really a fan of most horror content but likes horror books on occasion. perhaps a fan of classic horror stories? likes psychological horror specifically when the protags life gets ruined bc they cant tell whats real and whats fake. dont take him to watch saw he won't like it and you'll have to Deal with that
inori: isn't super into horror but isn't Averse to it. likes short form horror content, doesn't like stuff with Heavy metaphors/allegories, much more into horror for the sake of scaring u. kinda fucks w identity horror- specifically the identity of others. people being replaced, not being who they said they were, etc. can watch saw!
iranami: not a fan of horror, BUT tbh is into slashers + splatter. unrealistic gore kinda fascinates her. should be taken to watch saw but should be given a feel for what to expect. may not want to watch all the entries.
koba: likes horror as a Supplemental to other stuff, but his interests just kinda lie other places. i think he's a music listener before he's a movie watcher, and To Be Honest i think he's more into a p strict dichotomy of either reading fantasy, or non fiction. he likes horror w happy endings best. can watch saw, very engaged in jigsaw's assistants
kurokawa: into horror, but not into getting scared? it doesn't Usually spook her. if smthn manages to she's probably genuinely going to tear up a bit and Will go sit by her dad for a minute or twenty to calm down + comfort herself. anyways, likes most types of horror!! gets done the worst by jumpscares, she plays horror games on stream sometimes and has to vet them to make sure they arent jumpscare based. could try saw, but not in theaters. should watch it at home.
maeda: one of his siblings is a fan of junji ito and it Will pop up in rewrites. ito's stuff really sticks w him in a not so fun way. anyways, you can take him to see saw. he likes horror with Plot, he likes slashers for this sort of reason. would be a fan of the scream franchise, but in the way where he keeps going because he Wants it to be good, and he keeps feeling kinda let down by the mystery aspect of it. likes horror games too. does Not fuck with cosmic horror im being so genuine i think it'd be a really mean thing 2 do to suggest he read stuff w that. leave him alone :(
maki: not a fan of horror. can be exposed to saw traps but not the death scenes
mekaru: not a fan, do NOT take her to see saw please
ōtori: can be brought to watch saw. likes folklore type horror, analog horror Notably freaks him out. likes a good blend of plot and gore, fan of visual forms of horror.
taira: likes analog horror!!! and she likes cosmic horror too... really not too particular with genre or format its abt Quality. doesnt really like paranormal bc she feels it often isnt Good. can be taken to watch saw but certain traps will squick her out.
tomori: watches compilations of saw traps and gets Very uncomfortable. but still rewatches. doesnt really like horror? but i can see her liking creepypasta. got easily spooked as a kid but she accredits her "toughing up" to being cheer captain.
tsurugi: Can be taken to watch saw, doesn't really like movies though. might watch with you around halloween!!! not very picky with what he likes to look at, so horrors on the table for him. occasionally screws up his youtube feed to be all horror content and will get adhd trapped into watching anything that pops up, but will Not confess to this. his screentime is a private matter.
uehara: HELP HIM. not really a huge horror person but keeps getting exposed to horror medias. likes analog horror but it fucks with him so much. isn't a huge fan of horror movies because he tends to have a hard time sitting through them, the type to yell at the screen bc the characters are being dumb. prefers horror games for this reason. the help him at the start was a visceral reaction to the idea of making him watch saw. he's going to spook so badly he whacks his knees against the seat in front of them and bruises for a week and a half. DONT DO THAT TO HIM
yamaguchi: can go watch saw!!! i think he's Really fascinated by the implications of the series. likes the scenes/movies that involve outside forces trying to stop the traps, because he thinks its fun to see that sort of world building. anyways, i dont think he's a huge horror buff, but he will go see a horror movie if its popular. just isnt his preferred genre!!

So now that Vikings has been added on Netflix, I'm probably gonna rewatch the whole series again just because it's binge watching time of the year. And.. I might regret it because of the finale season did ruin the series for everyone. I'm so still bitter about that.
And I might maybe write a story, if the series might inspire me despite the franchise being over after all these years. I can't make any problems though. But I know it's a bad idea since we're dead fandom now.
So, if you don't mind, could you help me think up a few things for characters? Because I would have so many, not too many, original characters for my own story. I already have love interests for Ivar, and even Hvitserk too. If I'm being honest... I have always had these characters intended for them, but never even written the story after the series ended. But if there is a chance that I'd have love interests for any other brothers, I'm stuck on that? But I have some of my own face claim ideas though. Could you help? Only if you want to. But, just in case.. Some things that I am trying to figure out. Not that you have to help.
I know you have mentioned before people who had naturally red hair were killed because they were just a "rare defect" to Vikings. Something like that. But I remember you said that a long time ago. So if I may end up having a red haired character, who wasn't at all killed, who would you imagine her being in a ship with? I'm still kinda iffy about this character.
And if there is a rare possibility that a Greek person, character, could be somehow added into the series. Who do you think could be shipped with her?
And characters.. There are two potential characters who have European with blonde hair and blue eyes. I know that wasn't uncommon. But still.
Or someone with brown hair and brown eyes.
I know those are vague descriptions. But I'm still so iffy about wanting to write this story or not too.
And I'm not sure if it's in the Vikings era, or modern times. But at the same time.. Some of these people who I have for face claims have warrior costumes, I could imagine them as characters in different eras - if that makes sense? Photoshoots of them wearing warrior costumes like that could work for series like Vikings, Game Of Thrones, fandoms like that too.
Hey sweetie,❤️😘
That's awesome. I'm glad you're considering writing something for the Vikings fandom. First and foremost, I want to clarify something about redheads. You may be attributing the assertion about redheads to me in error or misinterpretation. When it comes to redheads, Vikings actually had many hair colors, including red. Norsemen from the western parts of Scandinavia, like Denmark were quite rife with red hair as it was quite common and even considered a genetic trait specific to Nordic tribes. Here are some references:
"Did Vikings Have Red Hair?" - Scandinavia Facts
"The Norse Origins Of The Red Hair Gene" - The Dockyards
As for genetics/DNA, Norsemen were known for their exploration so they did eventually intermix with other ethnicities in various regions across Europe and beyond. Here are some groups and regions where Nordic genetics are prevalent according to "Mitochondrial DNA variation in the Viking age population of Norway" - Royal Society Publishing:
"Expert argues Vikings carried redhead gene to Scotland" - The Scotsman
Scandinavians: Modern-day people from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are direct descendants of the Norsemen and carry their genetic heritage.
British and Irish: Due to Viking invasions and settlements, many people in the British Isles have Norse ancestry.
Icelanders: Iceland has a population with a high percentage of Norse ancestry, as it was settled by Norsemen in the 9th century.
Faroe Islanders: The Faroe Islands were also settled by Norsemen, and the population there carries Norse genetic heritage.
Greenlanders: Norsemen settled in Greenland in the 10th century, and their genetic legacy can still be found in the population today.
North Americans: Some Native American tribes, particularly in the Great Lakes region, have genetic links to Norsemen due to Viking expeditions to North America.
As for intermarriage it was rare, as with every other type of peoples on the planet in order to keep culture, wealth, homogeny and land within the control of one's own people. But when Norsemen did intermarry/produce offspring it was with these peoples:
Anglo-Saxons: In the British Isles, Vikings intermarried with the local Anglo-Saxon population.
Slavs: In Eastern Europe, there were interactions and intermarriages with Slavic peoples.
Celtic Tribes: In regions like Ireland and Scotland, Vikings intermarried with Celtic tribes.
Finno-Ugric Tribes: In the northern regions, there were intermarriages with Finno-Ugric tribes (Finns: The largest Finno-Ugric group, primarily residing in Finland. Estonians: Inhabitants of Estonia, another significant Finno-Ugric group. Hungarians (Magyars): The people of Hungary, who also speak a Finno-Ugric language. Sami: Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia, known for their traditional reindeer herding. Mari: An ethnic group in Russia, primarily residing in the Republic of Mari El. Udmurts: Inhabitants of the Udmurt Republic in Russia. Komi: Found in the Komi Republic in Russia. Mordvins: An ethnic group in Russia, primarily in the Republic of Mordovia. Khanty and Mansi: Indigenous peoples of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug in Russi)
Native American Tribes: Inuit: Norse explorers, such as those led by Leif Erikson, are thought to have encountered the Inuit people in what is now Canada. Beothuk: Norse settlers may have interacted with the Beothuk people in Newfoundland. Winnipeg: Norse explorers might have had contact with various indigenous groups in the region around the Great Lakes.
As for female beauty standards, the most desirable was blonde hair (had to be long regardless of color), blue eyes, and pale skin were considered desirable traits in Viking society. The same standards existed for men, with such traits being health, strength, and attractiveness. The male Vikings of course were also expected to be tall and muscular, reflecting their physically demanding lifestyle. "What did the Vikings look like?" - National Museum of Denmark
Alright, now that I've gone on a tangent, here are suggestions for your characters:😂
"European with blonde hair and blue eyes. I know that wasn't uncommon."
Eirlys Torsdottir: She is 17-year-old, a striking young woman with long, golden blonde hair that flows down her back in soft, cascading waves, reminiscent of the sun's rays. Her piercing blue eyes shine with intelligence and determination, framed by dark, thick lashes that enhance her captivating gaze. Her fair skin is flawless, with a natural rosy tint that highlights her delicate, high cheekbones and perfectly sculpted features. Eirlys's face possesses an ethereal, almost divine quality, with a gracefully arched brow and full, rose-tinted lips that add to her otherworldly beauty. She carries herself with the poise and elegance of a goddess, her every movement exuding grace and strength. Family Background: Eirlys is the daughter of Tor "Red," a powerful and feared Jarl from a Viking settlement with strained relations with Kattegat. Known for his berserker skills that leave him drenched in blood, Tor is a fearsome warrior whose reputation precedes him. He is a handsome man, more fetching than his wife, but has no time for frivolous conversations or flirtations. As a hands-on father, Tor keeps Eirlys and her twin brother, Aksel, close, along with their eldest brother, Brynjar, who is 19. She is fiercely protective of her brothers and is willing to do anything to keep them safe, even if it means killing by sword or poison. Eirlys' family is not only handsome but also well-respected and feared, with even Tor's two older brothers being equally fearsome and accomplished. Social Dynamics: Eirlys's father, Tor "Red," often brings his children to political talks in Kattegat, wanting them to witness and learn from the dealings firsthand. Despite their strained relations with the Ragnarssons, Eirlys's family is well-respected and feared due to their wealth and influence. Eirlys, in particular, is underestimated by the Ragnarssons, who view her as merely a beautiful treasure. Tor uses this to his advantage, conspiring with Eirlys to use her beauty to gain valuable information from the boastful Ragnarssons. Skills and Interests: Eirlys is well-trained in weaponry, a skill honed by her father to ensure she can defend herself when necessary. In addition, her mother has secretly taught her the art of poisoning, making Eirlys a capable and deadly force in her own right. She also possesses a deep intelligence and an acute awareness of the political landscape, making her a formidable player in the game of power. Ambitions: Eirlys dreams of earning her place in her father's legacy, using her skills and intelligence to rise to power. She aspires to become a master of both combat and political intrigue, combining the warrior spirit of her father with the cunning of her mother. Though the Ragnarssons may underestimate her, Eirlys has many surprises in store for them, especially Bjorn, who believes he can easily win her hand in marriage.
"Or someone with brown hair and brown eyes."
Ingrid Skjoldsdottir: She is a 17-year-old, a striking young woman with long, flowing brunette hair that catches the light in rich chestnut hues. Her light brown eyes are warm and expressive, often giving away more than she intends. She has thick, almost unruly brows that are always furrowed and expressive, adding to her intense and captivating gaze. Ingrid has cherubic features, with soft, delicate dimpled cheeks and a dimpled chin that adds a touch of youthful charm to her face. Her fair skin is smooth and unblemished, a testament to her well-cared-for upbringing in the comfortable longhouse of her uncle. Her oval-shaped face exudes grace and poise, hinting at a deep intellect and strength beneath her delicate exterior. Background: Ingrid was orphaned at a young age when her parents succumbed to an unknown illness brought back from a Viking raid. Since then, she has been raised by her uncle, Eirik, a seasoned Viking raider who lost his wife in childbirth. Despite the hardships, Eirik has ensured that Ingrid is well taken care of, providing her with a comfortable and well-furnished home. Ingrid has grown up in the bustling town of Kattegat, where she has become highly observant of the goings-on, thanks to her uncle's stories and her own keen senses. Personality: Ingrid is fiery and opinionated, yet never rude. She speaks her mind with a sharp wit but always maintains a respectful demeanor. Her keen observance makes her a valuable confidante, and she often knows more about the inner workings of Kattegat than most. Though she dreams of a good match, she has little patience for suitors like Ivar the Boneless, whom she views as a belligerent manchild despite his status as a prince. Skills and Interests: Raised in a household of warriors, Ingrid is no stranger to the ways of the Vikings. She is proficient in the use of weapons, having been trained by her uncle, but she also has a delicate touch inherited from her mother. She enjoys making clothing, a skill passed down from her late mother, and often crafts beautiful pieces that attract the attention of Kattegat's elite. Additionally, Ingrid has a secret: since the age of twelve, she has had visions. She keeps these to herself, only sharing her warnings with those directly affected to prevent disasters and death. Ambitions: Ingrid hopes to find a suitable match that aligns with her values and aspirations. She seeks a partner who respects her intellect and independence, someone who can appreciate both her fiery spirit and her delicate craftsmanship. Though she is content in Kattegat, she harbors dreams of exploring the wider world, guided by the visions that have shaped her understanding of fate.
"A red-haired character.":
Sigrun Thorsdottir: She is an 18-year-old, 5'6" young woman with a sturdy yet graceful build. Her fiery red hair, inherited from her father's side, cascades in thick, wild waves down to her waist. She often wears it in intricate braids adorned with small, handcrafted beads that her mother made. Her striking blue eyes are framed by long, dark lashes, and her fair skin is dotted with faint freckles, giving her a fresh, youthful appearance. Sigrun's strong jawline and high cheekbones reflect her father's rugged lineage, while her delicate features and graceful demeanor echo her mother's refined artistry. She has caught the eye of several Ragnarssons, especially Hvitserk and Ubbe. Though they are princes, she tries to avoid them due to their reputations of ruining the reputations of maidens and thralls who work for their family. She is immensely well-trained but crafty enough to navigate certain circles cleverly. Despite their interest, Sigrun remains cautious and selective about whom she interacts with, particularly avoiding the Ragnarssons and their troublesome reputations. Family Background: Sigrun is the daughter of Thorvald, a master blacksmith renowned for his exceptional skill in crafting axes and other weaponry. Her father’s forge is a bustling hub of activity, frequented by warriors and traders seeking his superior craftsmanship. Her mother, Astrid, is equally celebrated for her exquisite jewelry, coveted by wealthy Vikings and Jarls for their opulence and beauty. Sigrun has three brothers: an older brother, Njall, 21, who is following in their father's footsteps as a blacksmith; and two younger brothers, Baldr and Rurik, who are 12 and 10 years old, respectively. Growing up in such an environment, Sigrun has inherited a mix of strength and elegance, adept with both a sword and a jeweler’s delicate tools. Her family is well-respected and intermingles with the more prominent types in Kattegat due to their wealth and trades. Personality: Sigrun possesses a spirited and independent nature, unafraid to speak her mind and stand her ground. She is fiercely loyal to her family and friends, often putting their needs before her own. Her keen intellect and quick wit make her a respected voice in her community. Despite her tough exterior, Sigrun has a gentle heart and a deep appreciation for beauty and craftsmanship, a trait she shares with her mother.
Skills and Interests: From a young age, Sigrun has been trained in both the art of blacksmithing and jewelry making. She can forge a weapon as skillfully as she can design a necklace. Her proficiency with weapons is matched by her talent in creating intricate designs, blending strength and beauty. She also has a deep connection to nature, often spending her free time exploring the forests and mountains around her home, finding inspiration in the world around her. Ambitions: Sigrun dreams of becoming a master craftswoman in her own right, combining the skills of her parents to create items of unmatched beauty and utility. She aspires to travel beyond her homeland of Kattegat, showcasing her work and learning new techniques from other cultures.

when i played danganronpa i got so fucking fixated on it that i was spending entire nights awake playing the game cause i just couldn't stay away from it which resulted in being too tired to understand what was going on sometimes and people like you who are insane about the franchise are the reason i can make sense of a lot of stuff that i wasnt able to get due to playing at 7 in the fucking morning after going to bed the night pror at 5am (i plan on re playing the games at a normal persons pace sometime later lmao)
OH MY GOD!!!!!!! KIND OF SAME? Okay. well not exactly the same. For Danganronpa 1 I watched GameGrumps play when the episodes were coming out so it was a good pace. Skip to Danganronpa 2? I watched it all in 5 days with barely any breaks. I genuinely had a headache when Chapter 6 happened and it took a really long time to process everything that happened in the chapter. Honestly same thing with v3 I also got a headache playing that game haha! But most prominently I barely understood the entire Izuru concept for a while LOLL!!! 3 years later I'm a lot better at articulation, understand it all perfectly, and am able to combine those to make mini essays as an outlet for my passion about the franchise. I totally relate and honestly I can't even remember how I got to the point of knowing everything so perfectly anymore, I just love it so much and am just here. Like people talk about the comical fact of once you enter you can never leave, but people don't mention when it's so bad you can't remember how you truly got to this point 😭!!!
And the funniest thing is I haven't actually fully rewatched Danganronpa 2 or Danganronpa 1 before. I've always seen little scenes again and analyzed things to death but i haven't fully seen them again. Danganronpa 1 I think my memory is slightly fading so I should rewatch/replay it but I remember all major events and characters, Danganronpa 2 I want to play myself and mostly remember everything because well duh, and Danganronpa v3 I actually got to play and replayed half of it when I was sick at some point because I just felt like it Lol. I've wanted to actually play Danganronpa 2 myself for like 3 years but haven't gotten around to getting it BUT A MUTUAL GIFTED IT TO ME ON STEAM FOR MY BIRTHDAY JUST A FEW DAYS AGO????????????? SO I'M GOING TO GET TO PLAY IT MYSELF AFTER SO LONG??????? (I'm trying to get my Splatoon 3 catalog finished before I start playing though haha) I am genuinely so excited about it you have NO CLUE AGHRHRHDHSJ
Anyways, personal rambles and relating aside I'm really happy I can help you understand things about the franchise! I know I certainly wished and sometimes even now wish people could just articulate things for me when I'm struggling so I can understand things better about media I like Lol. It's an honor to assist people understanding one of my main special interests :)
#danganronpa#personal ramble#danganronpa 2#danganronpa 3#danganronpa franchise#danganronpa v3#wow ive liked danganronpa for a while huh#danganronpa goodbye despair#hyper fixations#hyper fixating#special interests#special interest

I want to know more about your non main f/os!!
Hi hi nonny!!
Ooooh, there's so many fun ones to talk about, but I feel like it's a good time to showcase my other soulmates, since I've been so focused on Viktor and a few others throughout this blog's existence (〃゚3゚〃)
Fair warning: this will sound very emotional and personal because each of these characters are very important to me and helped me out through some complicated parts of my life
Zuko was one of my first ficto crushes, but I was very little when I first fell for him, so I had no clue about selfshipping and I wasn't even able to draw properly just yet!
I wasn't always able to watch the episodes in order and I remember being VERY confused when he suddenly showed up with a head full of hair instead of his usual hairdo, but that just made me like him more XD
I remember spending most of my free time just daydreaming about him teaching me how to firebend and protecting me from the mean kids at school!
Zebruh was the one who introduced me to the selfship community, back in 2018! At first I was just keeping an eye out because Homestuck had risen from it's grave because of Hiveswap and Friendsim, but when I decided to check FS for myself I was immediately obsessed with this awful, awful, scumbag of a troll
Since the game was releasing new content, the fandom was extremely active and most people absolutely HATED Zebruh... It was a wild time for me, because I would make posts simping for him and having two types of people show up in my inbox:
OMG have you heard of selfshipping? There's a whole community that loves characters n stuff, just like you love Zeb! By the way, y'all are my OTP!
How can you like a disgusting piece of shit like Zebruh? You're an abuse apologist, I hope you die
So there were straight up just Zebruh antis, it was so bad that I remember a few call outs made about me by some very popular accounts, at the time, warning people about me for selfshipping with him lol
On one hand, it was a very stressful thing and since I was still a teen I was horrified whenever I found out I was blocked by someone, or I'd get really hurt when I received hate about something that made me so happy... On the other hand I met some awesome people and had a blast for a very long time!
My other blog, that focuses on him and my sona, still exists! Primarily for memes now, but it got SO MUCH BIGGER than what I had planned that I just enjoy keeping it around for fun and for the nostalgia of it all!
Zebby got me through some really rough shit and everything about him still brings me comfort, and when I feel like no one else cares about me, I know he does. And I have the reminder etched into my skin, forever looking out for me
Tadano is honestly the main reason I even survived getting out of my old house... I was pretty much raised to be my family's therapist since I was a toddler and it genuinely took me YEARS to make my mom realize that my father was a piece of shit and that we had to get out of that place.
When they finally decided to divorce, Aggretsuko season two had just come out, and it was one of the only things that helped me keep my sanity, honestly.. School was stressful as hell and coming home was even worse for so many reasons... My only escape was getting to watch that silly show with my mom after she got home from work.
When I first saw him it felt like life regained all the color it lost throughout the years, not even exaggerating. I rewatched all the scenes he was in multiple times, both in English and in Portuguese, just so I could hear his voice over and over again
Devil Jin is another childhood F/O! I got into Tekken 3 when I was super small and I've loved the franchise ever since, especially because of Devil Jin!
I've always been a maladaptive daydreamer and I remember going through the ringtones of my flip phone on the bus ride to school and just coming up with random scenarios of him and me
As silly as it may sound, I'm pretty sure that's what made way for me to use music and daydreaming to come up with my self inserts, original characters, universes, selfship lores and everything else! He sparked my creative force and it genuinely means the world to me
Yoosung showed up for me when I was struggling with an eating disorder and neglect from my father. My mom would work after I got home from school and I was obsessed with my appearance in the worst way possible...
I was making myself fade away and over exercising to the point where it constantly felt like I was about to faint. My old house was 2.5 kilometers away from the town center, and one day when I was walking to the gym (my father refused to drive me), I got robbed.
I was very disoriented and just rushed anywhere where I could call for help. A lot of awful things happened that day, but later on I got a new phone, and Mystic Messenger was at the peak of its popularity, so I decided to give it a shot, since I was very scared to leave the house.
Needless to say the game had me in a chokehold and I fell for Yoosung almost immediately. The way he would talk, the little reminders to eat and the calls with him gave me a reason to keep going when I felt like I was at my lowest.
He's the reason I beat my eating disorder AND the reason I have my sideways bangs, as a little tribute to the game's MC!

Nathaniel was responsible for my obsession with dating sims and visual novels! Certain fandoms are way more popular here than they are in the US; like Static Shock, Everybody Hates Chris and My Candy Love!
I got very invested in the game, to the point where I'd even spend some of my allowance on action points for it! I was very dedicated to him, he was the only character I would romance and I had all of his CGs!
I kept up with the game for years, but as the prices got less manageable, the community got more toxic and the characters and story changed while I wasn't around, the spark for the game slowly faded.
I never fell out of love with Nath and I honestly feel very nostalgic whenever I look at his CGs, oldest to newest!

I wanted to make a text post saying thank you to those who have liked my yugioh fanart.
The thing is as a kid my only exposure to yugioh was the 4kids dub of Duel monsters and GX...oh and the yugioh abridged series. My older brother played the card game and eventually I read the shadow games manga out of curiosity. but I never really got into the series until I met @siromany who talked a LOT about the series and started showing Cy and I the Japanese sub of GX (we are still watching it, beginning season 4). From there I watched shadow games/season 0, the first season of Vrains (rewatching Vrains again with siro and @kokorogensou so then I HAVE to watch the remaining second season and third because I was not having fun but hopefully having two other people with me will help. We watched DR3 and suffered so I think now I can complete it), watching all of 5Ds (as a palette cleanser from Vrains), Watching Go rush, pausing Go Rush to watch all of Sevens, going back to Go Rush, watching Arc-5 (on pause for now), watching Zexal, and now watching Duel Monsters. Oh and playing Duel Links. I am basically deep into yugioh and now I GET the whole franchise and the appeal of it all. Like I don't draw fanart much since I most doing oc stuff but drawing fanart of stuff I like has been a lot of fun.

The recent anon about fandom recovery after controversy made me want to ask something I’ve never been brave enough to but feel like you’ll give me an honest answer even if you don’t agree you’ll be respectful. Is it ok to like (love) Harry Potter? I know JK Rowling is problematic these days but those books, the films, the world she created meant (still mean) a lot to me but people say I shouldn’t be giving her money by buying merchandise and I shouldn’t like Harry Potter because she’s a terrible person etc. What do you think?
As for the Tarlos/Lonestar fandom I hope it will be ok. The majority of people I saw seem to be able to separate actors and characters so there is still a lot of TK love out there. As long as it doesn’t affect the acting and chemistry, and thus the characters we love then I think we’ll be ok. I don’t think it will (people have speculated they hate each other for years, or they’d lose the chemistry after Ronen got married and none of that has come to pass) so fingers crossed.
PS it would help if they went back soon. Has anyone been able to find out when they’ll start filming. I got hopeful when Ronen posted about getting in shape for S5 but that’s disappeared so I don’t know if they are still months away from going back. Natacha seems to be in the UK.
I am not any kind of authority on whether it's 'okay' to like anything honestly, I have my opinions but that doesn't mean I get to tell other people what they're allowed to like. Personally, as someone who grew up with Harry Potter and loved it to pieces and still has so much fondness for the story and the characters, I think that what matters in a boycott is not giving new money to the thing. The BDS movement as an example is very clear about like, if you already own an HP laptop (which I do), it doesn't make any sense to throw it out and buy a new one made by a different company. You already have it, you can't un-spend money on it. I think the principle holds for something like the Harry Potter franchise. I own the books, I own DVDs of all 8 movies. I have owned them for years, rereading them or rewatching them is not giving Joanne anything that she doesn't already have. That's very different from purchasing the new video games, and that, for me, is where I draw the line. I see no problem in continuing to love something that you already loved, my boundary is giving new money to it.
I do think it's important also to be able to recognize problematic content within media that you love. Again, I'm nobody's mother, I have no right to demand that everybody do this. But an important step that I take in my media consumption is looking with a critical eye at the things I'm consuming and recognizing where there are elements that are problematic that I need to be able to identify so that I don't let harmful ideas creep into my brain and make themselves at home without realizing it. Her portrayal of the goblins is incredibly antisemitic. Other problematic things exist like naming the Chinese character Cho Chang and having a 'race' of slaves that only one character seems to have an issue with. Harry Potter isn't the first medium to feature harmful tropes and it isn't the last either, and part of being an ethical consumer of any show/movie/book is putting in even a bit of work recognizing that and understanding that nobody is immune to propaganda. I still love Lone Star even though there is an element of copaganda to it. It doesn't mean you have to only consume content that is ethically pure - because that doesn't exist. It just means being willing to put in some work recognizing the harmful parts.
#anon asks#911ls asks#this is an older ask that it took me forever to get to#i'm assuming you know that there has been some posting about them starting soon
